Dana 60 Front Axle Rebuild - Locked And GearedPosted in How To on November 1, 2010
We're building up a salvage Dana 60 front axle we got from an old county-owned pickup purchased at an auction. The driveline was cheap, but parts of it needed some TLC. So, it's getting a rebuild with some new components. For this tech feature we'll show you how an ARB Air Locker and new Yukon gear set were installed and reveal a few of the technical details involved in setting up any ring and pinion assembly.
To do a job like this requires your basic hand tools, a couple of torque wrenches (one heavy-duty and one-light duty to measure pinion preload), a large breaker bar or impact wrench, a dial or test indicator, micrometer or caliper, and access to a shop press for bearing installation.
Gear installation requires some meaningful understanding of the setup parameters, and the precision and patience to bring them all into spec for the final assembly. Careful attention to the details will yield you a gear set that has proper strength and doesn't have an annoying whine when you're trekking down the highway at speed.
We started with teardown and cleaning of the axle. Since our axle had suffered neglect, all new differential components were installed except for a few of the original shims. Take a look at the process and we'll explain the steps and detail involved in gearing and locking our Dana 60.

So no hot water in a glass carboy?
Quote from: flbrewer on May 09, 2013, 03:12:53 PMSo no hot water in a glass carboy?Nope, not recommended. Nothing more than warm.
Shatter issue?
Hot tap water is fine for carboys. My tap water is 110F or so and that worked great when I used carboys. I'd call that hot.
Better Bottles ... will not shatter.

What's the perfect soundtrack to a Fourth of July BBQ? According to YouTube data, it is likely to include the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Toby Keith, Lee Greenwood, and Neil Diamond, amongst other holiday musical standouts.
In celebration of America's birthday, we crunched the numbers on past Fourth of July listening patterns and uncovered the artists and songs that receive the biggest year-to-year holiday spikes. For example, Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." saw a 2300% views increase on July 4th when compared to its typical daily averages, while country staple Lee Greenwood received a 2100% bump across his entire catalog on past Independence Days. The two artists also prove to be massive regional favorites, having the largest percent increase in views in every state but Delaware, where John Mellencamp landed the honor.
Other notable acts experiencing annual lifts include Fall Out Boy, Trace Adkins, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, whose 1991 hit "Summertime" also saw recent peaks in viewership on Memorial Day and the summer solstice. See below for the full list of musicians and tracks that earned the most holiday growth:
- This list is led by Lee Greenwood, who's track "God Bless the USA" brings his music to the forefront on YouTube.
- At #2, Toby Keith's many patriotic anthems (e.g., "Courtesy Of The Red, White And Blue", "American Soldier", and "Made In America") elevate his popularity on July 4th.
- At #10, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince benefit from the aforementioned resurgence of their hit "Summertime."
With the exception of "Pink Houses" in Delaware, "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood and "Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen have the largest percent increase in views on July 4th across the rest of the 49 states.
Nationally, the remaining top 10 include songs by Neil Diamond, Fall Out Boy, and Trace Adkins:
- Made in America - Toby Keith - 10.7x
- America - Neil Diamond - 9.3x
- Arlington - Trace Adkins - 7.3x
These tracks speak to the diversity of the US community, from country music to pop punk – something to keep in mind while you get started on your playlist for this weekend.

UH Manoa Celebrates Disability Mentoring Day on October 20
Center on Disability Studies working to unite disabled job-seekers with local businessesUniversity of Hawaiʻi
National Technical Assistance Center
Amy Nawatani, (808) 956-0947
National Technical Assistance Center
HONOLULU — The National Technical Assistance Center for Asian American and Pacific Islanders with Disabilities (NTAC-AAPI), based at UH Mānoa's Center on Disability Studies, presents "Disability Mentoring Day: Career Development for the 21st Century," to be commemorated on Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2004.
Disability Mentoring Day (DMD), administered by the American Association of People with Disabilities and the U.S. Department of Labor, is a local, national and international effort to promote the employment of persons with disabilities through personal mentoring. DMD in Hawaiʻi is coordinated through the NTAC-AAPI.
DMD in Hawaiʻi enables job-seekers and students with disabilities to spend part of a day visiting a local business or agency that matches their interests, and to have one-on-one time with volunteer mentors in their intended career fields.
"Although overall unemployment in the United States is currently low, barriers to employment create a wide participation gap for Americans with disabilities," said Christine Su, NTAC-AAPI employment coordinator. "According to national surveys, only 32 percent of Americans with disabilities ages 18 to 64 are working compared to 81 percent of those without disabilities in this age category."
For students and job seekers, DMD is an opportunity to underscore the connection between school and work, evaluate personal goals, target career skills for improvement, explore possible career paths and develop lasting mentor relationships. Previous participants say that DMD has helped them to gather greater confidence in their own employability.
For employers, DMD offers an opportunity to recruit interns, tap a pool of potential future employees and dispel fears about hiring persons with disabilities. Through DMD participation, employers demonstrate positive leadership in their communities.
Hawaiʻi employers interested in participating as a mentor for Disability Mentoring Day 2004 may contact Christine Su at 956-2890. Hawaiʻi job-seekers interested in participating may contact Amy Nawatani at 956-0947. A mentor or consumer application may be downloaded at www.ntac.hawaii.edu.
Disability Mentoring Day started as National Disability Mentoring Day in 1999 in the White House during President Bill Clinton's second term, as a program to increase the profile of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, celebrated every October. More than 6,500 students and job-seekers and 1,000 private, non-profit, governmental, and educational organizations participated in 2003.
The National Technical Assistance Center for Asian American and Pacific Islanders with Disabilities was created for the purpose of establishing collaborative linkages for strategic planning, technical assistance, training, outreach and service delivery and dissemination of information about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders with disabilities. NTAC-AAPI encourages organizations to foster mentoring, career exploration and other activities throughout the year to increase employment outcomes for members of this population.

Yep. We know we've jumped the gun before in our announcement of a T-Mobile sanctioned Android 1.5 Cupcake rollout (and we were wrong) but this time, it looks pretty certain that Android 1.5 Cupcake is FINALLY officially hitting G1 users in the US.
We personally couldn't wait for T-Mobile to roll out to our G1, choosing to manually install it ourselves. Is anyone still waiting for Cupcake via T-Mobile? Let us know! (And let us hope that this is for real, for real!).
thanks everybody for letting us know!

Anyone who lived through the hysteria that surrounded Hurricane Katrina in 2005 can only regard with amazement the Associated Press's take on Hurricane Sandy: "Sandy a super test for Bloomberg, Christie, Cuomo." Various distinctions can be drawn between Katrina and Sandy, but one thing they had in common, along with other natural disasters, is that local authorities have primary responsibility for response. Yet who, in the press coverage of 2005, described Katrina as a "super test" for Governors Kathleen Blanco and Haley Barbour, and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin?
Actually, reporters should have talked about Katrina that way. If they had, they might have been able to explain why Barbour's Mississippi fared well, while Louisiana was a disaster, due in large part to the gross incompetence of Nagin and Blanco. But that, of course, was not their agenda. Now the shoe is on the other foot, in that we have a Democratic president, so the Associated Press is free to focus attention where it belongs, on the local authorities.
Still, you might think the cognitive dissonance would be overwhelming for reporters more than 20 years old, who presumably remember how the press covered Katrina. In today's AP story on Christie, Cuomo and Bloomberg there is not a single reference to FEMA. And Barack Obama, for whom the hurricane existed only as an excuse to don a bomber jacket, is mentioned only to note Chris Christie's praise for him. About the federal response to Hurricane Sandy, whatever it may have been, not a word.
That's how it goes in the world of media: if it weren't for agenda journalism, we wouldn't have any journalism at all.

So I can see him letting it fly for that reason; accepting Rickert's response as his punishment for sacrificing the band and enabling the continued pursuit of his Dream.
I wonder how the old Griffith would've reacted to Rickert's affront? My guess is probably not much differently.
It's hard to compare since the old Griffith never stood in a similar position. I mean not only does he deserve Rickert's anger (a fact he's knowledged on the Hill of Swords), but he's also in such a powerful position that this kind of affront, as you put it, is rather meaningless. So I think it's a lot easier for him to forgive something like this now than it would have been back when he was still vying for power as a man.
I was trying to imagine a scenario wherein Griffith had achieved his dream at the expense of the Falcons but retained his old personality. I do think that in either case Griffith would've kept up appearances as the magnanimous ruler before his subjects instead of having Rickert sent to the gallows.
Well I think that's a tall order. What old personality are you referring to exactly? Because the change Griffith underwent wasn't only through his rebirth as Femto. His fall as a mortal man had already changed him as well, which is part of why he chose to sacrifice them.
If THIS Griffith had been reborn, albeit with the all the powers of a God Hand
But that Griffith was reborn with the power of a member of the God Hand.
But that Griffith was reborn with the power of a member of the God Hand. He was reborn as Femto. You're confusing the notions of "rebirth" and "incarnation".
Nah, I know the difference between the two. I was merely entertaining the idea of Griffith retaining his original self, or elements thereof, whether it was during the Eclipse or the Occultation ceremony.
Something I'd be interested to know people's take on, is whether Femto is essentially affecting Neo-Griffith, or whether Neo-Griffith is 'programmed' to act this way? I'm guessing that because he can seemingly switch to Femto mode at will, that would be suggest the former.
However, Femto obviously doesn't have complete control over his new form because of the demon child's instincts - and the as yet unrevealed nature of the Moonlight kid.
But... he has retained many elements of his old self. Femto is not a completely different being from Griffith. He was born from him. Also, "Eclipse" and "Occultation ceremony" refer to the same event.
For all intents and purposes, the Griffith currently standing in the garden is Femto. When we say Femto was incarnated into a new Griffith, it means Femto, who existed as an immaterial being, became a being of flesh. He acquired a corporeal form, a living and breathing body. One that coincidentally looks exactly like his former one did, before he became a member of the God Hand. So it's really not a matter of Femto affecting Griffith like a puppeteer or Griffith being pre-programmed like an automaton. Femto came down to the world at the end of volume 21. Femto walks among men. And he's calling himself Griffith.
as to whether Neo-Griffith really is just Femto in a different skin
That's what I intimated originally, that Femto is simply putting on an act.
It's interesting that you believe it to be that simple. I would like to see this explored further on here.

Oct. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Facebook Inc., operator of the world's largest social network, plans to reduce by half a $3 billion credit line due to a decline in its tax liability, a person familiar with the matter said yesterday.
The Menlo Park, California-based company also plans to extend the term of the loan to three years from one year, said the person, who asked not to be named because the matter is private.
Facebook said in March that it secured a $3 billion 364-day bridge loan to fund taxes for employees who exercise their restricted stock units. It also lined up a $5 billion five-year revolving line of credit ahead of its initial public offering in May, according to a filing.
Facebook's tax obligations are now lower than it had expected because the value of its shares has fallen 45 percent since the IPO. The financing was arranged by banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Ashley Zandy, a spokeswoman for Facebook, and Pen Pendleton, a spokesman for Morgan Stanley, declined to comment yesterday, as did Michael DuVally, a spokesman for Goldman Sachs, and Jennifer Zuccarelli, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier yesterday that Facebook planned to reduce its credit line and extend the duration of its term.

Customer Reviews
All reviews are from people who have redeemed deals with this merchant.
What You'll Get
Recent studies exploring the ancient inquiry "How do you spell your name?" have determined that names contain magical sigils, each imbued with a dulcet tone that invokes a different floral assortment. Give the gift of these all-important letters with today's deal: for $60, you get three to 11 letters of photographic name art (a $159.90 value, including tax and shipping) from Hal Jaffe Name Art, a Memphis-based studio that ships nationally.
Hal Jaffe is a second-generation photographer and a Memphis native. His letter art stems from a photography collection of natural and structural objects that resemble letters, from a park swing that looks like a U to a bend in a shoreline that resembles a R. By simply typing a name into the form on Jaffe's website, you'll be given options for spelling out the moniker of your choosing using a wide variety of letter-looking images. Once hand-selected, the images are printed on high-quality paper mocked up to look like a double-bevel mat. This faux mat is a realistic-looking alternative to expensive, custom-cut mats, and even less expensive than mounting the image on jewel-encrusted artifacts from Dark Ages mall kiosks. Each name art comes in a size of 10" x 20", the commonly found frame size at hobby and craft stores, which makes finding frames for the images cheap and simple.
Whether you're struggling to find a gift for a newborn, seeking something unusual and creative for a recently wedded artist couple, or hoping to find corporate art that doesn't involve stock images of stockbrokers weeping bitterly, name art from Hal Jaffe is carefully crafted to suit the bill.

RUSSIA, Ohio -- They met in elementary school, began a romance during World War II and married not long afterward. They had a lifelong devotion to each other as husband and wife that lasted nearly 66 years -- and one day earlier this month they died, just 11 hours apart.
Their children call it their "final act of love."
Harold Knapke, 91, and his wife, Ruth, 89, died August 11 at the Versailles Health Care Center nursing home in Russia, Ohio, spokeswoman Teresa Pohlmon said.
Their children said they were nine days short of their 66th wedding anniversary.
"It's consoling to us that they went together," said their daughter, Margaret Knapke. "On one hand it's difficult to lose both parents at once when you didn't see it coming ... but it's very consoling that they got to go together."
According to Margaret, her father's health had been deteriorating more quickly than her mother's for about a year.
"We would ask, 'Why is he still here?'" Margaret said. "And the answer was that he was here for Mom."
"He loved her very dearly. He was extremely loyal. He wanted to be here with her," she added. "He would sleep all day toward the end but when he'd wake the first thing he'd ask is, 'Where's your mother? How's your mother?'"
Margaret said Ruth contracted a rare infection shortly before her death and it was clear she was not going to recover. When Margaret and her siblings told her father the news, she recalled, he took it calmly but they saw a "shift" in him.
Just a few days later, Margaret and one of her sisters noticed that their father appeared to be very ill, she said.
"My sister said, 'It's almost like he's trying to catch up to Mom.'"
Three days later, Harold died, at 7:30 a.m.
"I think he realized what was happening and wanted to pave the way for her," the couple's son, Ted Knapke, said.
After their father died, the Knapke children surrounded their mother -- who was not lucid -- and told her, "Dad's up there waiting. They got the card game going and it's time you got up there. Don't stick around for us," Ted Knapke said.
Ruth Knapke died that night, at 6:30 p.m.
"I think certainly when two people are that close for 66 years you become pretty in sync mentally. So regardless of their state I think they realized it was time," Ted Knapke said.
Ruth and Harold Knapke met when they were students at the same elementary school in Ohio but were separated when Harold's family moved several towns away, according to Carol Romie, another daughter of the Knapkes.
"Dad was a year ahead of Mom and I remember Mom would tell us, 'I had a crush on your dad when I was in the third grade,'" Margaret Knapke said.
It wasn't until Harold was serving in World War II and stationed in Germany that their relationship began. Ruth's brother-in-law Steve, who was also serving, overheard that Harold was from the same county in Ohio as Ruth and suggested that Harold write to her.
Their relationship grew from there, according to their daughter Ginny Reindl.
"Mom knew who he was right away," Margaret Knapke said of her mother's reaction to the letter. The two continued to write each other until Harold returned from the war in 1945.
The couple married two years later, on August 20, 1947, and had six children together: Carol, Pat, Margaret, Ginny, Ted and Tim. Harold worked in Ohio's Fort Recovery school system as a principal, teacher and coach and Ruth became a school secretary.
"I guess to me, the most important part of the story was their dedication to each other -- loyal right to the end," Romie said. "Supportive and protective of each other, and that was the beautiful part. They worked at being married for 65 years. It didn't just happen. They went into it with the idea that this was forever, and it was. They made it that way."
The two were laid to rest together in a joint funeral.
"Mom and Dad were ordinary people," Reindl said. "I guess if people can learn from our story it's that there is love that lasts, and that's a good thing."

They regard Debian as being > a bit backward. I don't know if Debian is backward, but I will affirm that yum is pretty fashion-forward. I'm probably biased, of course, since I wrote the original HOWTO and since Seth developed it about seventy feet from where I'm sitting right now. I've never seriously contributed to its development but I've been a user for years, and it continues to improve even now. There are lots of ways to search out info using yum, some faster or more complex than others, but the most common ones, also the most useful and fastest, are as simple as "yum list \*whatever\*, e.g. -- rgb at ganesh|B:1011>yum list \*pvm\* Available Packages pvm.x86_64 3.4.5-7.fc6.1 fedora pvm-gui.x86_64 3.4.5-7.fc6.1 fedora It also supports yum search foo (likely to get more than you really want), yum info, yum deplist, etc. most of which I rarely use. It's nice to do "yum info \* > /tmp/yum.list" once right after an install or upgrade, though, as this pretty much gives you a catalog of all the available packages and their synopses, so that you can find almost anything efficiently and interactively with less /tmp/yum.list and its built in find tools, or via grep , or by just plain browsing through it. Of course with 20K or so packages, browsing through Debian is a bit more tedious I understand...;-) rgb > > On 17/10/2007, Tim Cutts <tjrc at sanger.ac.uk> wrote: >> >> On 16 Oct 2007, at 10:19 pm, Robert G.

mediacoach needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 31 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Walking Brass
We are a group of around ten young musicians, including one female singer who are performing already for a few years on various events: from street events, promotion events for advertising companies as well as for different companies who want to erect attention for either their products or give their business events a special, colorful touch!
To make it short: we perform where our customers want to have a flexible, colorful but nevertheless musically top and - above all - unplugged band.
Our band consists of at least 3 saxophones, 2 trumpets, 1 tuba, percussion, 1 female singer and some times for certain events 2 ambitious girls keen on dancing and performing to animate the audience.
As we perform completely unplugged, we are always on the move and very flexible and therefor always open to get in touch with our audience enchanting it with a wide range of music styles: from brass sounds, chanson and covered pop hits to jazz.
As our audience is still growing we would like to go professional, beginning with a profound logo.
Our target audience are cultural organisations organizing festivals, advertising agencies looking for a spontaneous, eye- and ear - catching band erecting attention and business companies who would like to give their events an unforgettable touch. We are that flexible and independent that there is hardly any event, we are completely wrong !! :-)
As our audience has a really wide range, our CI should support our ideas of making good music, entertaining people and performing unplugged. Our logo will reach young people we meet on the street during a street festival; our logo will reach medium aged people in business, elder people as well as company bosses flirting with the idea of engaging us for their next events . . . !
So, the logo should represent a bunch of good musicians creating new songs and ideas just in the moment of their performance with a really crazy touch for being kept in mind of our audience.
As my job is it to set up the CI, flyers, website etc. I would prefer sans-serif - fonts (can I say that this way ?!); The typeface should be clear and bold. Crazy items or icons are basically welcome. But not too fancy.
Please: no "cliparts" or stock fotos!
We came to the conclusion to emphasize the word "walking". Maybe we try out some things with our shoes; maybe colorfully painted shoes, maybe all of us with the same kind of sneakers . . . something like that.
Feel free to experiment with colours! Keep in mind: we are ten girls and guys between twenty-three and fifty (!) - yes! But all in all we act in concert and party is where we perform!
Required formats:
print file format, .ai;
web file format: jpeg, layers (psd).

Birkirkara is the largest town in Malta and Gozo, in so far as population is concerned and this can be traced back to the Middle Ages.Birkirkara was listed as one of the original 12 medieval parishes in 1436. Most of present-day Birkirkara is modern, though the town retains a traditional core characterised by alleyways, narrow streets and houses typical of small villages. A tiny garden separates the town's older area from the new quarters. Here you can see one of the old railway stations on the commuter line that ran from Rabat to Valletta. Apart from the churches, the oldest buildings in the town are the windmills. One is a private residence, the other, at the heart of the town, is an art gallery. Known locally as `Ta' Ganu' it hosts exhibitions by local and foreign artists.

The Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings are inexplicable, tragic, and horrific. As such, naturally, people search for a culprit. The media, camped out in trucks all around Newtown, Connecticut, working in 24-hour cycles to bring us every detail, is an easy target.
A quote attributed to actor Morgan Freeman has gone viral on Facebook. Essentially, someone claiming to be Freeman blames the media for Sandy Hook, claiming the media's coverage makes the shooter famous and makes more people want to do things like this.
It would be a vile and inappropriate claim even in a lesser tragedy. But to blame anyone or anything but Adam Lanza (and his access to guns and his mental state) is truly the height of poor taste. Oh, and also? It's a hoax. Freeman denies making the statement. In case you are wondering, here is the quote in its entirety:
You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why. It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batmantheater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody. CNN's article says that if the body count 'holds up,' this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next. You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem.
Look, I get it. We are all broken hearted and grappling to make sense of it all and struggling to find someone to blame. We are all having nightmares and crying ourselves to sleep and burning the images of those poor, beautiful babies and their heroic caregivers into our brains. But blaming the media? Come on.
If the biggest issue right now is honestly how the media is covering the story, then we have some giant problems. Adam Lanza is the shooter and we need to know every detail about him and how he got into the school and what led to this rampage so that we can focus on the REAL issues here, issues like violence, school safety, mental illness, gun control, and more.
It's way too easy to "blame the media", pull together a shallow, not well-thought out quote, wrongly attribute it to someone famous, and get gullible Facebook users to share it. It's another to actually grieve together, be sad, and look at the real, possibly scary, reasons this happened in our culture.
Look, as a member of the "media," I don't want to be blogging on this story any more than you want to be reading it. I want to curl up in my bed, hold my kids tightly, and pretend things like this don't happen to beautiful, innocent school children.
But if we are going to prevent things like this from happening again, we are going to have to take a long, hard look at our society. We are going to have to be brave, and yes, we are going to have to look at Adam Lanza and all the factors that made him want to kill.
It isn't that the media is without any blame. Obviously, interviewing children is horrible and wrong and in poor taste. But that's not the reason Lanza went on a killing spree. The 26 victims of this horrific tragedy wouldn't be alive if the media ceased to interview all children.
Obviously, I get wanting someone to blame, but it's not the media who is at fault for this. The blame lies squarely on the shoulders and of one individual, and learning more about him -- his mental health, his access to guns, his motive -- is the key to preventing anything like this from happening again.

Alexa Fluor dyes are available in a broad range of fluorescence excitation and emission wavelength maxima, ranging from the ultraviolet and deep blue to the near-infrared regions. Alphanumeric names of the individual dyes are associated with the specific excitation laser or arc-discharge lamp spectral lines for which the probes are intended. For example, Alexa Fluor 488 is designed for excitation by the blue 488-nanometer line of the argon or krypton-argon ion lasers, while Alexa Fluor 568 is matched to the 568-nanometer spectral line of the krypton-argon laser. Several of the Alexa Fluor dyes are specifically designed for excitation by either the blue diode laser (405 nanometers), the orange/yellow helium-neon laser (594 nanometers), or the red helium-neon laser (633 nanometers). Other Alexa Fluor dyes are intended for excitation with traditional mercury arc-discharge lamps in the visible (Alexa Fluor 546) or ultraviolet (Alexa Fluor 350, also useful with high-power argon-ion lasers), and solid-state red diode lasers (Alexa Fluor 680). Because of the large number of available excitation and emission wavelengths in the Alexa Fluor series, multiple labeling experiments can often be conducted exclusively with these dyes.
The adherent COS-7 culture featured in the digital image above was immunofluorescently labeled with primary anti-bovine alpha-tubulin mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to fluorescein. In addition, the cells were simultaneously stained for DNA with the ultraviolet-absorbing probe DAPI, and for the cytoskeletal filamentous actin network with Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated to phalloidin. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Well it is the beginning of 2017, and right now the weather outside is frightful. For those of us that can't wait for spring, we have put together a couple of things that everyone can try to get past the winter blues. The next eleven ideas can help make your winter a brighter color instead of the many shades of blue!
1.) Practice eating smarter
Here are three ways to start.
Avoid candy and carbohydrates.
Limit Caffeine intake
Try mood lifting foods
Foods that are good to lift moods include: Oats, spinach, fish, lentils, coconut, bananas and of course, Chocolate. I read an article called Foods to boost your mood naturally. We liked it because we found that we were already eating most of the foods on the list.
I stay away from most caffeine, but I do drink a lot of both caffeinated and caffeine free tea (teas, as it turns out, also helps to boost your mood). But, I hope my intake is still much lower than the average person.
Saffron is a spice that can help with mood enhancement. I looked in our spice drawer and could not find it. My husband said it was a little expensive for our food budget, so we do not have any. But with all the other options that we have in the food area, I think we are doing pretty good!
2.) Go Outside
With exercising outside you have the advantage of being in natural light. Natural light is a mood enhancer. Being outside will make you feel much better. Also breathing in fresh air can chase your blues away. If there is a park nearby in your neighborhood, it is a great place to walk.
Take your canine companion outside. Walking and playing with your dog is a no brainer. Of course this will make you feel better. Isn't just about everything better with your dog!
3.) Get moving and Exercise
As mentioned in an earlier post this year about New Year Resolutions, one of my goals is to exercise daily. A great side effect of daily activity is a better overall mood. Feeling more energized helps some individuals chase off the blues. I walk/jog around our RV in a large oval pattern daily. Where we are as of now, I am privileged to see a 180 degree view of mountains that look close enough to touch (But they are at least 3 miles away). Even when it is colder outside I look forward to getting outside and seeing the surrounding mountains.
4.) Stay Social and Connected
I have heard that going out and getting together with friends have a positive affect on mood. This is great if you are living close to friends and family. I am a couple states away from everyone I know, and I am just making new friends, so to stay social and connected (other than text messaging) I am writing letters. Completely old school (pen and paper). This is how I'm staying social and connected. Hearing about how the people I do not get to see everyday is doing will definitely keep me cheered.
5.) Take up a hobby
There are several cheap and fun hobbies available for all to take on in the winter months. So many to choose from, and all of them can help you take on the winter blues. The following are just a few to help you narrow down the field.
I dance (much to my husbands dismay) almost anytime I hear music. I can't help it. I want to move! Dancing has been shown to not only boost your mood but also has shown good mental health improvements.
One of my goals for 2017 is to increase the number of books I read this year. I'm starting out conservative, but when it's cold outside reading is a great way to not only get away but help keep the blues away.
Volunteering helps to improve mood, because helping others makes us feel better. Today there are so many places and reasons to volunteer that it is easier than ever to get out there. It will get you out of your house. Find what speaks to your heart. What makes you want to give your time and knowledge? Volunteering can be a great experience for those who choose to.
Any of the other ideas can lift moods in the winter season. See which speaks to you. You may find that you love your new hobby!


text: The Diamond Ray of Disappearance is a small, powerful diamond kept in a box. If an individual looks at the diamond, a small beam emanates from it causing them to vanish. They are then transported to another dimension with no way back. He-Man crushes the diamond and, in the process, is almost transported to another dimension. With the diamond destroyed, everyone who had vanished returns to Eternia.

Deacon notes below the New York Sun story by Jacob Gershman on the Columbia University report that was released today: "Faculty committe largely clears scholars." Gershman reports:
In an effort to manage favorable coverage of its investigation into the complaints, the university disclosed a summary of the committee's report only to the Columbia Spectator, the campus newspaper, and the New York Times. Those newspapers, sources indicated to The New York Sun last night, made an agreement with the central administration that they would not speak to the students who made the complaints against the professors.
The Sun obtained a copy of the report without the permission of the university administration. Last night, when a reporter from the Sun came to Low Library, the central administration building, for a copy of the report, a security guard threatened to arrest the reporter if she did not leave the building.
According to one student, senior Ariel Beery, one of the campus's most outspoken critics of the professors, a Columbia spokeswoman told him that students were not being shown the report yesterday "for your own good."
Attention here is naturally focused on Columbia's news management. The university appears to have transcended its old in loco parentis relationship with students in favor of a gangland-style family — from "father" to "the Godfather." Mean Streets comes to Morningside Heights.
In James Simon Kunen's obnoxious book The Strawberry Statement celebrating the Columbia student shenanigans of 1968, Kunen noted that "Columbia" meant "America." According to "student revolutionary" Kunen, the "Columbia" of 1968 had showed what "America" meant. Kunen's commentary was leftist pap. It seems to me, however, that today Lee Bollinger really has showed what Columbia means, and it's not pretty.
But what about the New York Times? Is it conceivable that the Times would enter into an agreement not to talk to the subjects of a report in exchange for being given access to the report a few hours before it is made available to the public? Is the Times to be muzzled at such a cheap price? Here is today's Times story by Karen Arneson on the Columbia report, with nary a comment from the students whose complaints triggered the investigation. The New York Sun has shamed the Times, whether or not the Times has any shame left to feel.
UPDATE: Judith Weiss of Kesher Talk has posted a comment full of links to related items reporting that the Columbia Spectator rejected the same deal that the New York Times accepted (click here). Please check out her post and its revelatory links. Together with the New York Sun, the student journalists of the Columbia Spectator have shamed the Times. Unbelievable.

The road to better health may sometimes involve an extra expense here and there, but you should be careful about wasting money on diet ideas with promises that are more based on myth than fact.
Identified below are four diet strategies that may be ineffective and financially expensive.
Multi Vitamins
There is no clear evidence of multi-vitamins' health efficacy, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins.¹ Not only are they of questionable value, but, in excess, they can be harmful. Some supplements may be of some use to some people, but determining the right supplement for your age, gender, and personal health status is best left to you and your physician.
Gluten Free
The growth of gluten-free products has been explosive. And, in many cases, consumers are paying a higher premium for them. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, and is more beneficial than detrimental. Gluten is harmful to individuals with celiac disease and can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in individuals with a gluten sensitivity.
However, there is no evidence to suggest that a gluten-free diet helps with other health issues or losing weight. Unless you are one of the minority of Americans who truly needs to avoid gluten, you may be wasting money on gluten-free products.
Body detoxification using special juices has been touted as a way to lose weight, rid the body of "poisons," and treat or prevent any number of diseases. These expensive juices, however, don't live up to their billing. Indeed, detoxing may be dangerously unhealthy to some people.
Your body already does a wonderful job of detoxing, thanks to your liver, kidneys, and intestines. Save the money and let your body do what it's ideally designed to do.
There is no generally accepted definition of a superfood, and it certainly has no meaning among nutrition scientists. Superfood is more marketing than it is science. Before you spend good money on the latest superfood, find out if the claims are backed by any independent qualified research. If there is none, save your money and stick with a balanced diet.
If you're considering a diet, you should consult your physician to determine the best approach for you.

Net Read Update 22/4/08: New subscription and pricing models are also available, with Site Licencing (FTE based) provided as well as the Concurrent User model. Pro-rated subscription pricing is also considered to facilitate the realignment of existing subscriptions, or upgrading of concurrent users or collections. Substantial discounts are offered to CAUL members, in particular those with multiple collections. Consortium pricing is also available when the occasion demands.
There are several authentication methods offered now, each of which ensures that the privacy of users is maintained, whilst still protecting the security of more than 275 publishers' intellectual property. All collections support MARC record downloads for members' catalogues. The MARC records are updated twice each month (with a bulk upload available for new users).
Pricing is fairly complex; it depends on the number of, and which collections, and either the number of concurrent users or the overall FTE rating for each institution. When an institution defines these parameters, prices are made available immediately, and guaranteed for a significant period of time, like at least 3 months.
Various other resources are available at www.NetRead.com.au which is being substantially redeveloped. Logins and passwords will shortly be available exclusively for academic librarians' use, to enable a central point for accessing MARC records, Usage Statistics and other Books 24x7 resources. (22/4/08)
Net Read Update 20/9/04: .... Books 24x7 online reference libraries ....last year. Several of these educational institutions have implemented the resource in one of a number of ways, using IP Authentication, a specially developed version of EZProxy, or more recently, a new self-registration method. Each of these methods identifies the user of the service at any time, not in such a way that their identity is known to Books 24x7, but such that the host institution can be given sufficient information to identify an individual user in the event of copyright abuse.
We understood the reluctance of some of your members to 'track' the movements of their staff and students because of privacy issues. To this end, Books 24x7 developed the self-registration method of access.
First the institution defines its subscription by collections (IT Pro – about 4,000 titles and / or Business Pro – about 2,000 titles) and a specified number of Concurrent User licences.
After Books 24x7 has been set up as an online resource, the institution is then permanently recognized as a valid subscriber. It is assumed that any user emanating from a subscriber's domain is already authenticated.
When accessing Books 24x7, the user then enters their institutional email address (which has been pre-registered) and a password that has been supplied by Books 24x7 at the time of registration. The user then has access to all the subscribed resources at any time, as well as a Personal Bookshelf containing selected titles that may have been set aside (by themselves or a lecturer / tutor) for subsequent viewing. The user can define (and modify at any time) a hierarchical folder structure to facilitate searching through their personal list (which can be as many or as few titles as required from the entire library). This personal folder structure is a great help, as each library has about 15 new titles added each week, and a user will frequently wish to peruse a title at a later date, resulting in the need for categorisation of the selected titles from such a vast number of available titles.
As you may recall, MARC records are available and incrementally updatable twice each month, allowing for the titles to be accessed directly from the institutional library's catalogue.

A friend emailed me a little tale recently called "The Brick." Given the high-speed world we live in today, I share it with you with hope that you never are moving so fast you fail to pay attention to what's really going on around you.
Here's the tale:
A young, successful executive was zipping down a neighborhood street in his new Mercedes. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars, thought he saw something and slowed down. No children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed against the car's door.
He slammed on the brakes, backed up and jumped out of the car. He grabbed the nearest kid, pushed him up against a car and started yelling at him. "What was that all about? Who are you? What the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
The boy was apologetic. "Please mister, I didn't know what else to do. I threw the brick because no one else would stop." Tears were dripping down his face, and he pointed to a spot just on the other side of a parked car. "It's my brother. He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
He was sobbing now and asked the stunned executive. "Would you please help me get him back in the wheelchair. He's hurt and too heavy for me."
The driver, now moved beyond words, tried to swallow the lump in his throat. He hurried over and lifted the handicapped boy into his wheelchair, took out his handkerchief and dabbed at the cuts and scrapes on his face. A quick look told him the boy would be OK.
"Thank you and may God bless you," the child told the man.
The man, too stunned to move, simply watched as the brother pushed the boy down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long slow walk back to the car. The damage was noticeable. But the driver never bothered to repair the dent in the door. He kept it there to remind him of this message: "Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention."
This tale got my attention. And if you are like most people I know – running hard all the time – I hope it gets yours, too. As we drive relentlessly toward all our goals, we need to stop from time to time and put in perspective the success we achieve. And remember what it really means. Without the dent.

Cards kick off I-70 Series with win at KC
Kansas City, MO – Yadier Molina finished with two hits, including a two-run homer, and drove in a season-high four runs as St. Louis emerged with a 6-3 decision over Kansas City in the opener of a two-game interleague series.
Allen Craig added three hits and knocked in a run, with Matt Carpenter contributing an RBI double for the Cardinals, winners in six of their last eight.
"We're playing good right now. We've got some good offense," Molina said. "Right now we're seeing the ball pretty good and finding some holes. We're showing the people that we've got a pretty good team."
Adam Wainwright (7-3) lasted eight innings, giving up 12 hits and three runs, fanning five without a walk. Edward Mujica then tossed a scoreless ninth to earn his 15th save.
Alex Gordon and Eric Hosmer each plated a run, while David Lough added four hits and scored once for the Royals, whose season-long losing skid reached six games.
"They don't call him the best in the business for nothing. I was just trying to get into big counts and help my team win," Lough said of his season-best performance, including three of his four hits against Wainwright.
James Shields (2-6) surrendered nine hits and six runs over six full frames, walking five with four strikeouts. The right-hander has dropped each of his last four starts.
In the fourth, Pete Kozma singled with one down, then Daniel Descalso and Carpenter walked ahead of a Molina sac fly which made it 5-3 for the Cards.
That lead was extended two innings later as Descalso beat out a grounder to second and then narrowly avoided a tag at the plate while coming in on Carpenter's double.
St. Louis failed to add to its advantage in the seventh when Kozma grounded out with runners on first and second, then came up empty in the next frame when Craig flied out with runners on the corners.
Wainwright remained in control, giving up hits in the sixth and eighth without trouble and retiring the side in order in the seventh.
Mujica worked around a two-out Lough single in the ninth, inducing a game- ending fly out from Alcides Escobar.
Both clubs scored in the opening frame. Carpenter began the game with a single and Molina followed with a two-run homer, but a Gordon single to plate Lough made it 2-1 in the Royals' first turn at the plate.
The trend continued two innings later, as St. Louis led 4-1 thanks to Molina's double and a Craig single, yet the hosts countered on a Wainwright wild pitch that scored Gordon and Hosmer's run-scoring base hit.
Game Notes
St. Louis upped its MLB-best road record to 19-9 ... Kansas City collected 13 hits, but 12 of those were singles ... The 12 hits were the most Wainwright gave up in one start since Sept. 14, 2010 against the Cubs ... Molina knocked in three in a 10-9 loss to Arizona on April 3 ... Prior to the contest, the Cards recalled pitcher Victor Marte from Triple-A Memphis and optioned pitcher Carlos Martinez to Memphis ... The game was delayed for 63 minutes at the outset due to rain.

ADDISON COUNTY — On Oct. 4 at a little after 6 p.m. Vermont State Police were dispatched to a reported family fight in Weybridge.
Police said they found that Omar Jones, 23, of Weybridge, was involved in a family fight in which two people were injured. Police said that while they were taking Jones into custody he began to fight with them, ultimately spitting on a police officer.

4x4 Fun Buggy Build - Fun Buggy BurnoutPosted in Project Vehicles on July 1, 2007
Every month I work on this buggy, and every month it's still not done! I feel like themythical Greek character, Sisyphus, who was destined to push a boulder up a hill for eternity only to watch it roll back down every time he gets it to the top.
This brings me to a problem many of us encounter, Giant Project Vehicle Burn Out (commonly referred to as GPVBO). This is when you take on an enormous buildup which is way beyond your skills, bank account, or patience only to get neck deep and begin wondering how in the heck you're ever going to pull it off. This condition can be compounded by significant others wondering if the pile of parts in the garage will ever leave, buddies constantly bugging you to go wheeling, neighbors harassing you that your junk is ruining their property values, and of course the stress that what you started building two or three years ago will no longer be state-of-the-art when it's finished.
Dear readers, do not fret. You'll get that 4x4 back on the trail some day by simply following these steps. First and foremost, set goals. I'm not saying set a final finish date, but rather set a weekend or evening goal for every time you work on it. Just base that goal on what you can realistically do, and this will give you a sense of accomplishment and keep the positive juices flowing. Next, remember that wrenching on your ride is fun and when you have a problem with it don't get mad, simply close the toolbox for a while and go do something different-mow the lawn, eat lunch, or read a magazine (this magazine).
Finally when the pressures of life, wife, family, and friends creep in, then maybe that truck is just what you need. Get these people to help out for an evening by handing you a wrench or pointing a flashlight. Or on the other hand, lock yourself in the garage away from it all for an hour or 10, just long enough to get your mind off your daily stress and have fun playing with your rig. This sport, whether wrenching or wheeling, is about having fun with your 4x4; don't let the slow buildup ruin the fun of it all.

Dave Grohl Thanks Birthplace For Gigantic Drumsticks
As we reported recently, Foo Fighters frontman and Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl was set to be honored by his birth city, Warren, Ohio, with some record breaking drumsticks. On Saturday (July 7), the 900-pound monster drumsticks made out of poplar logs were unveiled during a ceremony, and although Grohl couldn't make the festivities in person, he was there in spirit.
This latest gift finds the proud city crafting the largest pair of drumsticks in the world to honor their local hero. This isn't the first gift his birth city has offered up to Dave though. In 2009, Warren bestowed Grohl with 'David Grohl Alley,' an aptly named alley within the city limits in celebration of the rocker.
Grohl took out a full-page ad in the local paper to thank his hometown for the latest honor. The ad shows Grohl sporting a 'Made in Warren' t-shirt and an ear-to-ear grin. In the newspaper Grohl thanks Warren, Ohio, for their support and for being a great community, saying, "To the wonderful city of Warren, from the bottom of my heart I'd like to thank you all so much... For the childhood memories. For my family. For my very own alley. For the world's largest drumsticks! And for all of your support... But most of all for being such a great community. One that makes me proud to say... I am from Warren, Ohio!"
According to TribToday.com. those words were read by the city's Mayor Doug Frankin during the unveiling ceremony on Saturday. See a picture of the sticks here.
For fans who want to check out the 'Guiness Book of World Record' holding sticks in person, the monster size drumsticks will be on display at the Warren Amphitheater through the month of September and then they will be moved to their rightful home, David Grohl Alley.
So the only thing missing now seems to be the largest drum set in the world, fit for the gigantic sticks!

Susan Boyle Effect on Video Calling
I've promised myself not to talk (or tweet) about Susan Boyle, but then came Robert X. Cringely and decided to do the math on her YouTube video.

We're all hearing about HD these days, and how it will bring video telephony/conferencing/communication to the masses. But what will happen if that REALLY do happen? Full Story

Sub-Saharan Africa received almost $12 billion in remittances in 2007, and that was only the official number. With "informal" flows added the total amount can easily be double that number. Nigeria, Kenya, Sudan, Senegal, Uganda and South Africa received the highest volume of remittances, while in smaller countries such as Lesotho remittances represent up to a quarter of GDP.
Remittance costs are significantly higher for Africa compared to other regions; costs can go up to almost 25% of the amount remitted. Remittances between African countries (from South Africa, for example) are especially expensive. Reducing these costs will mean substantial extra transfers, and this will be a focus of the World Bank's medium term agenda on the African financial sector. The immediate concern is, however, stability of flows: the recent international credit crisis will lead to a slowdown in remittances. Remittances have generally been counter-cyclical in the past, as they tend to increase when the receiving country experiences adverse events.
But a recession in sending countries could hurt the capacity of migrants to send money home. It is still too early to determine if the latter factor will dominate and cause a decline in the total amount remitted, although there are some disturbing signs. High-frequency data on remittances for African countries are scarce, but available data show that remittances from the US seem to have slowed down in recent months; remittances from other sending countries, however, have not yet been affected.
Since some readers of this blog are senders of remittances, and others recipients, it would be helpful to hear how you see remittances changing in the current situation.
How will the financial crisis affect remittances to Africa?
Effect of Financial Crises
How will financial crisis affect remittances to Africa?
How financial crisis will affect remittances to Africa
People remit money out of: sheer personal sacrifices and disposable incomes available to them. With high inflation and soaring bills mounting in countries like the UK, it is becoming a challenge to make remittances amid looming fuel poverty. Whats more, the reality is that by next year, there would obviously be significant reduction in remittance flow to developing countries.
However, for some ingenious people, there is a new dimension of remittances from developing countries to developed countries, as it appears access to 'quick cash' is rampant. Could we have some contributions on remittances from Africa to developed countries. Perhaps, with the current predictions and warnings from professionals and policy makers and analyst, it appears the economic recession has just begun.

What will you think of when you hear of Gothic Dolls? What if you add Punk accessories to Gothic Dolls?
The visual can be quite impactful, isn't it? What if all of these are handcrafted? Wow!
Singapore Mini Maker Faire 2012 introduces the next Maker on our list, Ng Ling Ling, a doll maker.
Ling and her Dolls
Ling (http://www.etsy.com/shop/sugarpunk/about) began making dolls in 2007. Her first doll was a cloth doll version of Marilyn Manson. Since then, she has made numerous Goth and Punk dolls, branching out into Bunka dolls and other soft sculpture.
When asked why Ling makes her own dolls, she expressed that people who make their own toys tend not to toss them, unlike commercially made ones, because they would recognise the effort that has gone into making it as compared to just buying it off the shelves.
Handmade/re-purposed clothes and accessories
Ling feels the same for clothes and accessories. To Ling, making your own clothes and accessories similarly makes you appreciate them better. It is also this line of thought that encouraged her to re-purpose second-hand or unsold stock, making accessories out of waste materials, which is a form of hacking too! Ling acclaimed that she is a hoarder, with an enormous stash of yarn and textiles (but aren't all crafters hoarders? :P) So, SugarPunk also stocks knitted purses and other sewn items, besides gothic items (adding sugar to the punk!).
Ultimately, Ling hopes to see consumers shift towards an appreciation of quality rather than quantity, citing the examples of better quality, hand-stitched Victorian or Edwardian clothes that are made to last.
Making materials from scratch
What interests me most was the fact that Ling also makes her own materials from scratch.
When I asked Ling for her views on the Maker community in Singapore, she expressed that she is aware of a large crafting community in SG but not many who makes materials from scratch, e.g casting their own jewellery pieces in resin, spinning, weaving etc probably due to the availability of raw materials. To Ling, being a crafter makes you think about the resources and human effort that goes into making things, for instance, weaving cloth or spinning yarn.
She has her own hand-spindle! She shared that she bought the hand-made drop spindle from Etsy and she is still learning how to use it. She shared that hand-spinning would give the yarn a nice hand-made feel as the yarn would not be even and would be more chunky. She intended to incorporate cloth strips, ribbons and threads – anything that can be twisted.
Why Ling is taking part in Singapore Mini Maker Faire
Ling shared that she visited the Maker Faire in NY City last year, and it was very exciting to meet so many Makers in person.
Having watched many videos of Maker Faires in other countries, I think I can understand how it can truly inspire a maker to want to show and share their work, and for a looker to become a maker.
Come join us on 4 & 5 August, and experience that excitement together with us. 🙂

Greg Rathe has been here before. Waiting. This time it's much different than it was 17 years ago. Rathe, 42, said his first heart transplant in 1996 came about after a sudden onset of cardiomyopathy, the weakening of the heart muscles. Early this year, his symptoms returned.
Greg Rathe has been here before. Waiting. This time it's much different than it was 17 years ago. Rathe, 42, said his first heart transplant in 1996 came about after a sudden onset of cardiomyopathy, the weakening of the heart muscles. Early this year, his symptoms returned.
"I felt weak and couldn't breathe," Rathe said. "When I got here to the med center, they said I'd need a new heart."
"His condition deteriorated very quickly," said Mike Moulton, MD, chief of cardiothoracic surgery and heart transplant surgeon at The Nebraska Medical Center.
Rathe lost consciousness the second week in March. His donated heart was failing.
"We knew if we didn't move forward with the Total Artificial Heart, Greg would not survive," said John Um, MD, surgical director of cardiac transplantation and mechanical circulatory support at The Nebraska Medical Center.
Drs. Moulton and Um implanted the Total Artificial Heart March 14.
"I woke up and it was all done," Rathe said.
During heart failure, the heart cannot pump enough blood to supply vital organs with the oxygen and nutrients they need. When one side of the heart is failing, a patient can be put on a left- or right-ventricular assist device. Greg Rathe's heart needed help on both sides.
"Greg had chronic rejection of his donated heart," Dr. Moulton explained. "That process affected both the left and right ventricles. Because his heart had deteriorated to such a degree, a Total Artificial Heart was the only option."
The Total Artificial Heart is not a permanent solution. It is a "bridge to transplant" meaning it can allow a patient to regain their strength until a suitable donor heart is found. It provides high volume blood flow of up to 9.5 liters per minute through each ventricle, which helps speed the recovery of the patient's organs, making them a better candidate for heart transplant. According to SynCardia, which makes the device, patients have survived nearly four years before receiving a successful transplant. Doctors expect Rathe to have his artificial heart for one to six months.
"The Total Artificial Heart is the most advanced support available," said Ioana Dumitru, MD, medical director of heart failure and cardiac transplantation at The Nebraska Medical Center. "It can now be used to treat patients from our region who would have a very difficult time traveling long distances to receive this therapy."
To implant the Total Artificial Heart, surgeons remove most of the patient's heart; the left and right ventricles and the four heart valves. Only the left and right atria, aorta and pulmonary artery remain. Surgeons then sew in ports called "quick connects" to the left and right atria, aorta and pulmonary artery. The Total Artificial Heart is then attached to the quick connects. Two clear plastic tubes, one connecting to each ventricle, extend through the patient's skin just below the rib cage. The tubes are connected to a pneumatic driver, which powers the artificial heart with precisely calibrated pulses of air and vacuum. All the device's motors and electronics are located outside the body in the pneumatic driver. When a donor heart is available, surgeons remove the artificial heart and transplant the donor heart.
The Nebraska Medical Center is the only hospital in Nebraska with this treatment option.
"Bringing the Total Artificial Heart technology to the region continues to demonstrate The Nebraska Medical Center's leadership and commitment in the treatment of cardiovascular disease," said Jorge Parodi, executive director of cardiovascular care at the medical center. "We will continue to pioneer new technologies and therapies here and continue to provide the most complete and comprehensive cardiovascular care in this region."

At some point, I clicked a link that enabled my participation in Google's social search experiment. I had yet to really see this in action until a commercial break in Sunday's football games. One of the Southwest Airlines "Bags Fly Free" commercials came on (not this one, but a similar one):
Watching the ad, which I really liked, I wondered how many of the actors were real Southwest employees. So I googled "southwest bags commercials."
The first link went to a blog which answered my question to my satisfaction (most if not all of them). As I looked at the other search results, I saw the expected YouTube videos, but also Google's social experiment come to life:
See that scrollbar area with the tweets? That was updating in real-time, with newer tweets showing up dynamically and pushing down the later ones. Heck, it even has a pause button.
It was surprising to see my Google search results updating themselves before my eyes, but also really cool. Right away, I felt part of a shared, immediate experience. (I felt the same way when I was trying to find out the name of the song in this State Farm commercial, and as I typed, I watched Google auto-complete my query: "state farm commercial guy in car singing." Eerie.) Others had watched the commercial at the same time I had and felt compelled, in one way or another, to bring their experience to the web. But while it was a new and exciting dimension to my Google searching, it wasn't specifically relevant to my query.
I decided to do an experiment of my own and try some other topical searches. Google queries for "iran protests," "health care reform" and "florida cold" yielded no real-time results. Googling "jay leno" and "harry reid" and "green bay packers" (the football game on at that moment) brought up a real-time stream that began with several news and blog sites, shifted to some tweets and then went back to web links (though the Packers search query yielded all tweets in the real-time feed).
It makes sense that the real-time stream comes into play most prominently for events happening in, well, real-time. Topics like my first three searches will still carry the same level of relevance in 8 hours; the Packers game will not.
Breaking news has always captivated me since my first job at Boston.com, and living in a real-time web world — not just Google; think about Wikipedia during a developing story — only enhances the breaking news experience. But it's about more than news. Everything is a breaking story. Everything is ongoing and developing. All the angles are out there on the web, and Google is putting itself in the role of aggregator. The early results are promising, but they label their endeavor properly: an experiment, still a bit rough around the edges.
The web is archival and always has been, but it is increasingly becoming a living document. And you know what Red said in "The Shawshank Redemption": "Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'."

After playing one game with Carolina, Checkers scoring lead Aaron Palushaj is returning to Charlotte.
Palushaj, 24, played the 67th NHL game of his career on Sunday, skating on the Hurricanes' fourth line with former Checkers teammates Zach Boychuk and Brett Sutter against Nashville. The postponement of a game in Buffalo originally scheduled for Tuesday robbed him of a chance to play another, as the return of Elias Lindholm from the World Junior Championship tournament and the near-return of a handful of injured players have rounded out the team's roster.
The return of Palushaj, who has 14 points (3g, 11a) in his last 11 games, also helps round out the roster in Charlotte as the Checkers, off since Friday, had not replaced him. They will likely still be short one player as coach Jeff Daniels on Wednesday ruled newcomer Greg Nemisz out for this weekend's two-game trip to Oklahoma City. Sean Dolan and Jared Staal are also unavailable due to injury.
During his scoring surge that dates back to Dec. 10, Palushaj passed Boychuk for the team lead with 28 points in 32 games, tying him for 20th in the AHL. His 19 assists also lead the team and are tied for 17th among league skaters, while his 91 shots on goal are tied with Chris Terry for most on the Checkers.
