Glycoconjugates play critical roles in recognition, adhesion, protein stability and function. Alterations in glycosylation frequently lead to disease. The four sessions in the 1012 annual meeting's glycobiology theme focus on the role of glycoconjugates in pathogenesis, signaling, development, metabolism and disease. They also address novel metabolic routes of glycoconjugate assembly.
Glycoconjugates often provide the key interface between a microbial pathogen and a host cell and are, therefore, excellent targets for the development of therapeutics. The first session, "Glycoconjugates in Pathogen Invasion and Virulence," features three talks that focus on the surface glycoconjugates of bacteria and a protozoan parasite.
Malcolm McConville (University of Melbourne) will highlight recent advances in our understanding of cell-wall assembly in mycobacteria. The cell walls of these important pathogens are composed of several classes of glycolipids, and a number of novel proteins have been shown to regulate their assembly and transport across the cell membrane.
Lora Hooper (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas) will present her work on the innate immune mechanisms that promote symbiotic relationships with the vast communities of bacteria that inhabit the intestine. She will focus on the role of a secreted carbohydrate-binding protein in maintaining the mutually beneficial nature of these host-microbial interactions.
Igor Almeida (University of Texas at El Paso) has identified glycoconjugates of the Chagas-disease-causing parasite Trypanosoma cruzi that are virulence factors. He will describe recent efforts to use these glycoconjugates as targets for vaccine development.
Signaling and development
The second session, "Role of Glycoconjugates in Signaling and Development," further highlights the diverse roles of glycoconjugates in biology. David Levin (Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine) will present recent work on the cell-wall-integrity signaling mechanisms that enable yeast cells to respond to cell-wall stress.
Hannes Buelow (Albert Einstein College of Medicine) will describe his studies of the role of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in axon guidance and nervous-system development in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans.
Thomas Biederer (Yale University) will talk about his work on the SynCAM family of adhesion molecules and the role that glycans play in regulating adhesion mediated by these proteins and subsequent synapse development.
Glycoconjugate assembly
Although the assembly of glycoconjugates from activated monosaccharides is generally understood, there remain numerous gaps in our knowledge. In the third session, "Novel Metabolic Routes of Glycoconjugate Assembly," Karen Colley (University of Illinois College of Medicine) will discuss the biosynthesis of polysialic acid, a unique antiadhesive glycoconjugate found on only a few proteins that play roles in the development and function of the nervous and immune systems. She will present new data that illustrate how these proteins are selected for polysialylation.
Debra Mohnen (University of Georgia) will discuss the assembly of pectin, a major plant cell-wall polysaccharide, which functions in plant growth, development, and response to pathogens and symbionts and has diverse positive effects on human health. She will describe new results describing novel mechanisms that regulate pectin synthesis and cell-wall assembly.
A key feature of the assembly of many glycoconjugates is the transbilayer movement of lipid biosynthetic intermediates. Anant Menon (Weill Cornell Medical College) will discuss recent efforts to identify the enigmatic flippases required for moving these complex glycolipid structures across the membrane bilayer.
Glycoconjugates in metabolism and disease
In the final session, "Role of Glycoconjugates in Metabolism and Disease," Jeff Esko (University of California, San Diego) will discuss his work on endothelial cell receptors and their interaction with heparan sulfate with respect to innate immunity.
John Hanover (National Institutes of Health) will describe his group's studies on the role of nutrient-driven O-GlcNAc in regulating gene expression by modulating higher-order chromatin structure and the multifaceted histone code. His results suggest that O-GlcNAc directly regulates RNA polymerase II and may contribute to transgenerational epigenetic reprogramming.
Lance Wells (University of Georgia) will speak on the role of O-mannosylation in congenital muscular dystrophy, cancer metastasis and arenavirus entry into cells. He will present data that highlight the novel protein substrates for O-mannosylation, as well as the enzymes and the novel glycans they synthesize that are disrupted in various pathophysiologies.

Let Luke Photography Tell "Your" Story
Let Luke Photography Tell "Your" Story
A good photographer, whether working in a photography studio or on location, should be able to put you at ease and capture the "real" you, regardless of whether they're photographing a high school senior, a corporate CEO, an engaged couple, or a family. At Luke Photography, we have one photographer. One photographer that is serious about creating great portraits. Good photographers get out of their own way and let great portraits happen. No canned poses, no preconceived ideas of what you should look like.
But don't take it from me, this is what a business client from Detroit, MI had to say,
I don't know how to tell you how much we all enjoyed working
with you, and how exceptionally talented we all think you are,
both in terms of your "bedside manner" and the resulting shots.
You are professional, friendly, helpful, and a genius at knowing
just how to get the best shot while making us feel comfortable.
You are very clearly in the right field!! Thank you so much!!
High School Senior portraits don't have to be boring…today's high school seniors expect dramatic portraits that fully express their personality. Whether you're a rock star…a fashionista…an athlete…or poet…every student is unique, and the images from your session will reflect that.
Whether it's a young adult's coming of age, a loving couple's engagement, a personal statement, or an important moment in your family's history, portraits play an important part in developing memories and a legacy. "This is who I am, and this is what is important to me."
As a business, you need your customers to want to buy your product or service. As a society, we are bombarded by a visual feast of advertising, most of which is forgotten or ignored. You need to make your business and your products stand out with creative images that will get noticed every time.
If you only know one way to do things, then you are limited to one look
If you only know one way to do things, then you are limited to one look
With over 32 years of experience, I specialize in the portrait and commercial/industrial market, where I can more readily apply my understanding of lighting to create unique and visually pleasing images, which really tell the story of the person that I'm photographing, or show the product or facility in new and interesting light. Whether the subject is a high school senior, a CEO, or a new technological product, let's make it noteworthy.
Many photographers who are new to the industry don't truly understand lighting, and prefer to photograph by natural light only. If that's all you know, then you are limited to only that kind of "look". When a photographer understands lighting, it allows them to design and engineer well thought-out images, but also allows them to think quickly on their feet when situations change, instead of fumbling for a solution.
Your experience at Luke Photography goes way beyond the awesome photos...
Have you ever had your picture taken and wished instead you were sitting in a dentist's chair? Yeah, me too. That's why, at Luke Photography, I like to bring a little "personal creative mayhem" to each session, whenever it calls for it.
Luke Photography is located in a 100-yr. old building in the Village of Fairport that used to be vinegar warehouse for the French's mustard company. The 2,000 s.f. studio just underwent an expansion in the summer of 2014 with the addition of 700 s.f. of daylight warehouse-style shooting space, which will allow more creative freedom during sessions.
I started my photography business over 29 years ago by shooting weddings, although now I concentrate on portraits and commercial/industrial work. In 2010 I earned the Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) certification through the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), which less than 3% of professional photographers have attained. It not only assures others of a photographer's knowledge, but also the continuance to develop new skills and techniques.
I earned the Photographic Craftsman degree (Photog. Cr.) in 2012 through the PPA. This degree is attained through service as a mentor, author or speaker. This degree shows that you have gone beyond the creation of images and dedicated your time to teach other photographers and move the industry forward and encourage education.
I speak at conventions and photography organizations on lighting and portrait techniques, and I also teach professional photographers cost-effective ways to improve the quality of their photography by better understanding their existing equipment and creatively using alternative equipment to get comparable, if not better, results.
This is a short video that I made for the Photo Northeast Convention that was used for promotional reasons. It describes the first time that I felt like my photography made a difference to someone.

When I first had met my husband, Chuck, he told me that his parents had waited until Christmas Eve and after the children went to bed, the whole house was decorated.
Today I received my newsletter from the GERMAN BOHEMIAN HERITAGE SOCIETY and one of the articles stated that it was a tradition that was decorated on Christmas Eve. It seems that the children would visit the house of other and the mother would decorate and when they came home from their visit St. Nicholas or the Christ Child had visited and left gifts. I told him today about the tradition and I guess his family's tradition came from the immigrant Bohemians.
He said that nothing was done and when they woke on Christmas Day the tree and decoration, inside and out were done. It was magical. After the kids were grown, all the sons would meet at his parents home and exchange gifts after midnight. We would eat after everyone would arrive. We would have cold cuts, cheese and salads. I had baked Christmas Cookies and would bring a large box of the treats for the occasion.
While his parents were alive we would spend Christmas Eve at his house and Christmas Day with my family. It made for an easy decision on which house to visit over the Holidays.
They have been gone for about 15 years and I really do miss them and the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations with our families.

Vocal pot activist shot in home
Names: Kenneth Gorman, 60
Investigative agency: Denver Police Department
Date killed: Feb. 17, 2007
Cause of Death: Shot in chest
Suspect: None identified
Ken Gorman wasn't concerned about telling people what he did.
The 60-year-old man was a pot grower and wanted everyone to know it. He had run for governor. He had held numerous press conferences.
Gorman grew 50 marijuana plants in his house under lights so powerful it distracted neighbors, who called to complain to police. Unlike most pot growers at the time, he didn't cover his windows with tar paper to hide his lucrative cultivations.
He sold pot to people for medical reasons at his home on the 1000 block of South Decatur Street in Denver.
Nearly a year before his death, Gorman helped organize a pot gathering in Denver's Civic Center. It was part of an effort to make marijuana possession legal at the state and federal levels. It followed the city's passage of an ordinance that allows adults to legally possess a small amount of marijuana.

Former Vikings punter Chris Kluwe claims that the team promised to release publicly the report generated by the investigation regarding Kluwe's allegations of homophobic comments and that he was cut because of his activism for gay-rights. The Vikings say they made no such promises.
"[Lawyers Eric] Magnuson, [Chris] Madel and others spent nearly six months conducting an exhaustive investigation," the Vikings said in a statement posted on the team's website. "After the Vikings were given the investigative materials from Magnuson and Madel, in order to further maintain objectivity and integrity, the team engaged a nationally-prominent law firm in employment matters — Littler Mendelson P.C. — to evaluate employment law matters and provide findings and recommendations to the Vikings. Those recommendations are to be provided to the team this week."
(Actually, Littler Mendelson P.C. is a prominent law firm that represents the interests of management in employment matters. Their analysis undoubtedly will be influenced by that perspective.)
"As Magnuson and Madel confirmed today, the Vikings have never made or broken promises as Kluwe and his attorney Clayton Halunen have claimed," the Vikings added in their online statement. "The Vikings have also never engaged in the various comments that Kluwe and [his lawyer] have provided to the media over the past six months. This Thursday, July 17, the team has a meeting scheduled between [Kluwe's lawyer] and Vikings attorneys to discuss next steps."
With Kluwe committed to suing the Vikings, the Thursday meeting may not matter. Whether the lawsuit actually happens could hinge largely on the outcome of the conversation between Kluwe's lawyer and the Vikings' lawyers — especially if the Vikings lawyers show Kluwe's lawyer a little bit of the sword that will be wielded if/when Kluwe decided to go through with his plan to file a civil complaint.

eXpand v2.14 - DOFUS edition r1.18.1
Subject description: Multiplayer online role-playing game
filesize: 357.738.496
md5sum 03267677861f28b351269c21a089c644
For those of you not knowing, DOFUS is a massive multiplayer online role playing game (also known as MMORPG). Though being written in France by french people, the game is now popular enough to be played worldwide and servers have 20 millions registered users.
The game can now be played for free within standards maps of this online world. You need to register yourself to play but you not need to pay anything. Extension maps can be accessed by players paying a (low) monthly fee.
This huge game encounters a merited success as being of high quality on every aspect, from design to game-play... Being written in Flash it can be played on all platforms, windows, macintosh, linux... but requires huge ressources. That's why so many players using windows had encountered so much problems while playing online, along with other kind of problems related to the operating system.
So, in support to the players community of the DOFUS online world, i am proud to present you today a complete operating system based on Puppy linux distribution v2.14 named...
eXpand - DOFUS edition
This customized distribution of Puppy aims at running the DOFUS client game without any problem and have been intensively tested in our local area. But anyway we will assume support for upcoming releases of DOFUS software if needed.
Particularly dedicated to core gamers, eXpand - DOFUS edition comes with everything needed to play, connect to internet, play DOFUS, chat with others players, analyse network in case of need, have a few others tasks pertaining to real-life work so you never reboot to use windows, and even relax by playing a few other cool little games with your friends... and more, much more, as we have bundled and tweaked in this ISO cdrom file image the very best we could find on every domain
In order to keep the ISO file size as low as possible, which is a real challenge with a game weighting more than 120Mo, you will find also a lot of useful internet tools to use once connected online to internet. While being able to run on old computers with 256Mo and a linux swap partition, the ISO weights 220Mo and will give entire satisfaction on a 512Mo RAM computer, and even more if you can setup a linux swap partition on a local hard drive or on a USB hard drive.
As many gamers commonly uses webmail tools, we have choose to save space by not installing Thunderbird eMail by default. Instead you will find many links to webmails such as the one put on your desktop pointing to Gmail (google mail) or Goowy from within the firefox bookmarks. We strongly encourage you to use webmails so to save maximum memory on your computer. Moreover these eMail services are great nowadays and will offer you for free the same features as a local eMail software and even more. But, for advanced users with hard-drive installation whom may need it, you can still install Thunderbird by yourselves very easily if your computer is power-full enough. You will find a Thunderbird file on the CD, just click on the icon and Thunderbird will instantly be installed.
Many surprises awaits you at using eXpand - DOFUS edition. We have been taking great care that every little piece of software runs fine on most of the computers sold nowadays. You will be able to listen audio CD, and even record them with ripping software, listen online music from a variety of sources (check the firefox bookmarks
), watch videoclips, and even download them at an incredible speed (yes, we modified firefox "a bit"), check podcasts, or better, videocasts, whatever format it was made, and even rip them to fill your iPod, or burn them ! You will be able to connect to your friends pc and share your screen, so to teach them new tricks, or help them to finish a quest !
For most of the players without computer skills, all you will have to do is boot on the CDROM and wait a few seconds... Well it takes time to load the whole CD into RAM but it is worth waiting, and usually it will boot faster on a 4 years old computer than on windows running on a computer you bought this week ! Imagine what it can do if you run it on an up to date computer
And if you are one of the geeks breathing only when connected to internet, you will find the best computing experience you ever dreamed of. We bundled a complete operating system, you can tweak as much as you want (or as you may need), from wifi to webcam, hard drive installation, partition tools, printer management, a whole bunch of internet tools, with even servers, all with graphic user interface, from bittorrent to VNC server (and client of course), you can even connect remotely to a MS-Windows system ! (in case your best friend needs instant help) And if the system happens to be missing the useful tool you cannot live without, you can import Slackware packages or check the dedicated online repository with the Puppy Package Software Installer. You will find here the very best softwares updated by the cream programmers community ever, and if you feel good, come in and join us ! Help us at building the next releases, whatever your skills are, you are most welcome.
The CD includes also programming tools and extensive documentation ; Read the welcome-text box displayed at first boot to discover more ! We even packed a JAVA runtime environment on the CD in case you need ; If you have enough RAM memory, just run the package file to install JAVA instantly. You will be able to use any of the great JAVA tools or JAVA games available on internet without anything else to do, we have done the setups for you !
The operating system you will be using has been designed to be rock-solid, and has been intensively tested months and years, to bring you the very best computing - and online gaming - experience nowadays. You will see your computer working at speeds you would never dared to asks for. You can ask it to work endlessly months non stop, or shutdown/reboot it whenever you want to power-off your computer and save energy, you will always retrieve a clean, stable and rock-solid complete operating system next time you boot on your CDROM.
With complete built-in security tools, you will never have to wonder about anti-virus upgrades, or spywares detection, or even buying expensive protection softwares or cleaning softwares. Even other companies are dreaming of our firewall tools. Connect to internet, run the firewall with the "AutoMagic" feature, and check the firewall monitor: Complete security.
And if you noticed the background screen is changing from time to time, it is because we designed it this way, along with a few other (good) surprises
I would like to thanks particularly Barry K. creator of the original Puppy Linux distribution, and all the programmers involved in maintaining and testing any software release and giving so much at helping each other.
We wish you the very best at using eXpand - DOFUS edition.
We will come back with other dedicated editions soon, so stay tuned !
As many people will come from the "outside" visit this forum to download eXpand - DOFUS edition, we would like to remind them one last thing:
We give it to you, for FREE.
It is not because you are.
It is because we work all for each others,
that is how we dream the world,
we are the Open Source Community Programmers.
So pass the CD to your friends and give it to anyone whom may be asking for it,
just remember: IT IS FREE.
You received it this way, give it this way.
Best regards,

Post subject: DOFUS Edition... my son would love this
Just reading this wiki, it reminds of my 8-year-old son who likes to play computer games. I will download this iso and have my son give it a spin.
I understand that you need a connection to play the game. Is there a standalone version of the game for my son to try while not connected to the Internet?
All the best

Yes you will need to have internet connected as there is no stand alone version of Dofus. Dofus is a MMORPG having to be played online.
But anyway, your son may found the CD valuable as there are included others games which can be played offline and are so fun !

The game took me a while to set up and it asks for you to pay and a lot of details to set up. Make sure you use a public server to connect and you should be OK and it will be free.
The game looks like a Sims type game to get totally engrossed in.
I connected directly to veoh.com from a desktop icon So instant video clips.
We have a second release - so download again and please report on your experiences. It is an impressive release, deserving some exploration and support.

Here is one more hint. On desktop you will an icon for Yahoo videoclips. click it and in the browser window will appear a database with videoclips you can choose whatever you like to watch for free...
But, here is one more thing...
At bottom right of the window you will find a link saying "view TOP100"
click on it, a database appear with the TOP100 video rated, in the column video, click on the first link... A complete video player will appear starting to play high quality video clips the 25 first videos
...And if you wish you can change channels instead of watching the TOP100, just select another channel at the bottom left of this window

The internet domain I had bought for distribution of
has only expired
since a few days, and I already have requests for some new download links
Thanks to Mark, the ISO files are mirrored here
except the "large" eXpand office suite which I could not find mirrored anywhere.
All right, due to popular demand here are the new download links for the
original ISO files of eXpand Linux distribution
(that was based on Puppy v2 serie) Use these links first before trying
anything else, that will save the bandwidth of the mirrors.
Keep in mind that even some ISO files might seems you quite large for a
Puppy Linux, it is because the ISO archive contains not only the puplet but
also some extensions so they are directly available from your cdrom
IT IS FREE. You received it this way, give it this way.
Best regards,

By Suzanne Pfeffer
What if every ASBMB member selected a mentee (a student, postdoc or junior faculty member) and gave him or her the gift of an ASBMB membership? I decided to do that for the 12 graduate students who began training this semester in the department of biochemistry at Stanford University. I don't expect many ASBMB members to gift 12 memberships in one year, but I cannot think of a better way to welcome young scientists into our discipline. I should have been doing this for years now, for all of my students, to help them understand from the outset that they are part of a much larger community of scientists. So with that, I share with you a letter to the entering class.
Dear First-Year Students,
I cannot think of a more exciting time to embark on a career in science. There are so many more tools available today than ever before, and our ability to study questions on a genomewide scale represents a major advance both in terms of the scope of the answers that can now be obtained and the systemwide complexity that we can now begin to explore.
You are now a professional researcher – getting paid to do experiments and make discoveries. The sooner you realize that students and postdocs make essentially all of the major discoveries, the sooner you will understand why coursework is an important starting point but not at all the point of graduate school. We need to teach you how to learn what you need to learn on your own. There simply is too much information and a broad swath of history that would take too much course time to explain. Discoveries won't happen if you aren't thinking hard about your science and spending a great deal of time doing experiments. You need to embrace your project as your own. The sooner you do this, the more successful you will be.
Some of you will be very lucky in graduate school: Your research project will yield ready answers, and your proteins will be well behaved. Others will have a more challenging time, and those of you in this latter category will learn another important lesson – that science is not always easy and success requires knowing when to keep trying and, just as importantly, when to change tack. I will worry about those of you who have easy success, because after you graduate and you face a tougher project (and it will be when and not if), you may not have acquired the skills needed to deal with that challenge. All of a sudden, science may not seem as much fun anymore. It is those of us who have struggled who appreciate most the joys of discovery.
My wish for each of you is that you start graduate school with a project that is extremely likely to work. This will help you gain confidence in your experimental skills and teach you to trust your data – and the discoveries your data will reveal. Then, I hope you will pick a much bolder question – one that may not have been part of your research adviser's major grant proposal. All of us need to ask what is the most important experiment we can do or the most powerful approach we can take to address this specific question. Every molecule and process can be described and characterized, but only scientists who focus on the most significant questions will make the important breakthroughs we all seek. The most important thing we can teach you is how to pick an important question and how to address it using a variety of approaches that will enable you to tackle whatever question you select.
Years ago, it was common for labs to study a single protein. Students could be assured that the lab knew how to purify that protein and how to handle it. Today it is more common for labs to study many different proteins, each with its own characteristics. When projects are selected, a student may wish for one protein and then realize that his or her exciting-sounding protein turns out to be impossible to work with. We can't know for sure what to expect until we try a project, but one way to ensure more rapid success is to team up with another lab member on an already moving project. This kind of teamwork makes a project go faster. Individuals can have their own parts of the project but share common reagents and help troubleshoot when something isn't working. For an adviser, this scenario is doubly reassuring, because multiple lab members can carry out complementary experiments and duplicate each other's findings at the same time.
In graduate school, I hope you will learn the value and power of collaboration beyond your own lab. The best scientists use multidisciplinary approaches to tackle a question, and by collaborating you can use multiple approaches and technologies to obtain a much richer and deeper answer. I can think of three times in my own lab when sending a student to another lab for a week (to David Lambright's lab in Worcester, Mass., and Francis Barr's lab in Munich, Germany) or a year (to Axel Brunger's lab at Stanford University) moved their projects forward in a quantum way. Don't be shy to collaborate. All of us are better scientists when we work together.
We (the faculty) have an obligation to you to prepare you for the wide variety of careers that your training will qualify you for. The ASBMB will offer four career workshops in the next 12 months in San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Dallas and Raleigh-Durham to connect alumni representing a number of career choices with students like you who are considering all of their options. We offer four workshops every year in cities across the U.S. (Let us know if you would like to help plan one in your area.)
The ASBMB exists to support the pursuit of biochemistry and molecular biology. We publish three excellent journals (the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the Journal of Lipid Research and Molecular and Cellular Proteomics), we organize meetings large and small, we provide student and postdoc travel awards to help you participate in our meetings, and we devote a large amount of resources toward advocating for wise science policy and strong and stable science funding. Membership offers access and supports all of these activities, plus significant page charge discounts when you are ready to publish your research findings. Finally, membership includes a subscription to ASBMB Today, which I hope you will enjoy, starting with this issue. Welcome to the world of biochemistry and molecular biology; welcome to the ASBMB.
ASBMB President Suzanne Pfeffer (firstname.lastname@example.com) is a biochemistry professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine.

Geerhardus Vos was among the Reformed tradition's finest theologians. The contemporary of J. Gresham Machen, Herman Bavinck, and other famous thinkers, Vos lectured at Princeton alongside such able systematicians as B. B. Warfield and Abraham Kuyper. Their remarkable grasp of systematic theology almost certainly influenced Vos' thought and writings.
Vos who understood that good biblical theology leads to the acceptance of important propositional truths self-published his five-volume Reformed Dogmatics (originally Gereformeerde Dogmatiek). Now Logos is working with Dr. Richard Gaffin and a team of translators to complete the first-ever English translation of Vos' important work.
Here are a few of the endorsements for this translation:
"Written in tight prose and moving from question to answer, Vos' work allows us to watch his fruitful mind work as he represents both historic Reformed orthodoxy as well as fresh insights driven from his approach that highlights the progressive and organic nature of revelation.
Clearly these volumes are worth our attention and I highly commend Gaffin and Logos for bringing them to an English speaking audience."—Kelly M. Kapic, professor of theological studies, Covenant College
"'Precision' is the word. Vos' understanding is clear, his definitions are to the point, and his explanations are crisp and cogent."—Fred G. Zaspel, adjunct professor of systematic theology, Calvary Baptist Seminary
Pre-order this first-ever English translation today to get these essential volumes at the low Pre-Pub price. You'll get the first two chapters as soon as you place your pre-order, and further chapters as we finish them. Don't miss out—place your order now!

The humble sea urchin could hold the key to turning harmful greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into chalk on an industrial scale, British scientists have revealed.
At the moment, pilot studies for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) systems propose the removal of CO2 by pumping it into holes deep underground, but it is both costly and has a long term risk of the gas leaking back out - possibly many miles away from the original downward source.
But now scientists have discovered that sea urchins use nickel ions to harness carbon dioxide from the sea to grow their exoskeleton - or shell. It could be a way to capture tonnes of CO2.
Using the nickel nanoparticles suspended in water vats at factories, power stations would capture the CO2 as it is pumped through, converting the gas into the chalk.
The nickel catalyst can be recycled and the by-product - the carbonate - is useful and not damaging to the environment.
Physicist Dr Lidija Siller, a PHD student at Newcastle University, discoverd the nickel enzyme by chance.
"We had set out to understand in detail the carbonic acid reaction - which is what happens when CO2 reacts with water - and needed a catalyst to speed up the process.
"At the same time, I was looking at how organisms absorb CO2 into their skeletons and in particular the sea urchin which converts the CO2 to calcium carbonate.
"When we analysed the surface of the urchin larvae we found a high concentration of nickel on their exoskeleton. Taking nickel nanoparticles which have a large surface area, we added them to our carbonic acid test and the result was the complete removal of CO2."
Each year, humans emit on average 33.4 billion metric tons of CO2 - around 45% of which remains in the atmosphere. Typically, a petrol-driven car will produce a ton of CO2 every 4,000 miles.
Chalk, found in the shells of marine organisms, snails, pearls, and eggshells, is a completely stable mineral, widely used in the building industry to make cement and other materials and also in hospitals to make plaster casts.
The process developed by the Newcastle team involves passing the waste gas directly from the chimney top, through a water column rich in nickel nano-particles and recovering the solid calcium carbonate from the bottom.
Dr Siller adds: "The capture and removal of CO2 from our atmosphere is one of the most pressing dilemmas of our time.
"Our process would not work in every situation - it couldn't be fitted to the back of a car, for example - but it is an effective, cheap solution that could be available world-wide to some of our most polluting industries and have a significant impact on the reduction of atmospheric CO2."
The team have patented the process and are now looking for an investor to take it forward.
This findings are published in the academic journal Catalysis Science & Technology.

Paul Canavese necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 163 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
Neighboring.com is a social networking site for neighborhoods. Everything on the site is built around proximity of people, events, and opportunities to the user. News "channels" includes police/fire logs, home/apartment sales reports, local blogs, and more. The Exchange is a local marketplace and lending library, supporting loans, giveaways, bartering, and sales. You will also be able to find friends with similar interests and local events. All of this information can be browsed or integrated into your news feed filtered by proximity (number of miles from you) and other factors. A site tour and more information can be found at http://neighboring.com (which will redirect you to a site with our old branding, Neighbor-Connect). Our goals include building community, sustainability, and promoting local businesses.
We have a broad intended audience and will be targeting some people who may already be reluctant web users. The site is for anyone who is interested in "hyperlocal" information and collaboration: what is going on within a mile of where they live.
A simple, friendly, accessible logo for use on our website, business cards, and print advertisements.
Text should be "neighboring.com" (probably most readable with the ".com" in smaller type). We're assuming all lowercase, but are open to it capitalized.
We want the logo to be relatively simple, clean, and easy to read at a glance. While our domain name has a single word it is a relatively long one, so we don't want the logo to emphasize the length.
We want the logo to be very accessible, because of our broad intended audience. We do not want the logo to have a feel that is "urban," futuristic, or technical.
We plan to use the logo (or a version of it) in horizontal page headers, so a vertically-oriented logo will probably not work well. The logo should work well on both light and dark backgrounds.
Our brainstorming around art has brought up the following images: houses, people (neighbors), ovals/circles indicating proximity (like a radar sweep?).
We have primarily been looking at sans serif or script fonts, since we have found them easier to read at a glance. A couple that have looked promising to us are Yanone Kaffeesatz and Freestyle Script.
With all that said, we are VERY OPEN to your creativity and new ideas in trying to meet our stated goals.
Vector art PDF file required. Another vector-based source file (e.g. EPS or SVG) could also be helpful.

Spacious Beach House with Seaside Palette
This beach house at the Jersey Shore takes its cues from nature
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 18
No sooner did Kay and Dale Schoeneman empty the nest than they began to refill it—at least for the summer. "We spend all summer at our vacation house at Beach Haven, New Jersey, where both our married daughters and their husbands and children join us every weekend," explains Kay. Thus far, their on-the-grow family includes three grandchildren, ages 6, 3, and 1. So while other retired couples downsize, the Schoenemans happily embrace the idea of bigger is better. "We needed to build a larger house to accommodate our growing family," says Kay. "We wanted it family-friendly with soothing beach colors and enough space for everyone to spread out."
Blueprints in hand, Kay called on her longtime designer, Mary O'Brien Cabaron, to tweak the plans and provide turnkey decorating that included interior architectural elements like paneling and interesting ceiling details. But this time, their meeting went a little differently. "I brought along both of my daughters," laughs Kay. "Since they would be living there, too, we wanted their input."
Their collaborative vision called for not one but three master suites, plus practical concessions like a TV in the living room. It also ensured an abundance of public spaces so no one would feel cramped and all could pursue their own interests. That meant a separate family room with a sprawling sectional upstairs, a multipurpose enclosed porch that's a favorite hangout and casual meal venue overlooking the pool, a cheerful playroom in primary colors for the grandchildren, and a sparkling-white kitchen roomy enough for two chefs (Kay and one son-in-law both love to cook), as well as another kitchen outdoors. There are plenty of dining-area options, including the light-filled breakfast room, a slightly more formal beamed-ceiling dining room, and, of course, the enclosed porch. "Rooms are large enough for all of us to be in them at one time, but we can also spread out," notes Kay.
Packing in so many features for what are essentially three separate families demanded a large footprint—around 9,000 square feet. "My challenge was to give Kay the cottagey style and homey feel she wanted in such a big house," says Cabaron. "We introduced the cottage look using a lot of white with beach-glass colors and coral accents."
But humanizing the scale required more than a pleasing palette. In the living room, Cabaron designed a ceiling grid to break up the big space overhead. Her genius was to alternate the direction of the flow of the beadboard within that grid. The result is a whitewashed patchwork that lives cozy.
Again, in the dining room a unique ceiling treatment is critical, bringing the large room down to earth. "You enter the room at an angle, and I laid the ceiling beams on that same angle. This tricks the eye into believing the room is not a big rectangle," notes Cabaron. The brown beams also are a baby step toward formality; their darker color is reinforced by the brown trellis outlines on the draperies, as well as by the natural wood of the table. Even in this most formal room, however, the living is easy. "The table is so distressed it's almost buckled," says Cabaron. "It's friendly to using dinner plates without placemats."
In the upstairs family room, the expanses of blue walls—the deepest shade in the house—reach out like an ice-breaking handshake, thanks to Cabaron's 3-D accessorizing. "Baskets, sconces, and thick-framed mirrors on the wall create depth," she says. At the same time the 3-D accessories shake off any traces of big-room sterility, they create a collected look that's a hallmark of the cottage style the homeowner loves. "I wanted a Nantucket look," reflects Kay, "and Mary completely got that."
Wavy window treatments in the breakfast room and the Schoenemans' bedroom recall breakers on the shore. "I always hang the cornice as close to the ceiling as possible to enhance the illusion of more window, while hiding as little of the view as possible," explains the designer.
For the breakfast room, she broke up the aqua cornice with brown pleats that fall in line with the window mullions. The brown pleats segment the sweep of aqua fabric for a cozier look, and they also knit the space together by tying into the brown on the banquette fabric just below.
A cornice above the bed in the Schoenemans' bedroom follows the arch of the window. Cabaron finished the bottom of the cornice in a graceful wave, then created a counterpoint with a bed whose headboard reverses those undulations.
In every room, fabrics are casual cottons, linens, or blends of both, and all the furniture is comfortable. "Nothing is stiff. They use every room and sit on every furnishing," says Cabaron. "It's a very livable design." Nothing less would do for a beach house brimming with three generations of family.

I need a fresh new logo for my nutritional company. Winning designer has a chance for additional work!
Fit n' Healthy
Use both the company name "Fit n' Healthy" and my by line "Unleash Your Potential" as part of the logo design. The logo will be displayed on our website (construction to begin after the logo is picked), brochures, business cards and as a decal on the company vehicle.
Fit n' Healthy is in the business of natural health, specifically in customized nutritional and lifestyle plans for individuals to discover how good they can actually feel (hence the by line: Unleash Your Potential).
- The name "Fit n' Healthy" needs to become alive to the readers, show movement and display what Fit would look like (in the font) and Healthy (in the font). Maybe Fit has slimmer letters and Healthy has more fuller letter? I would also like the by line to be listed underneath the name in a creative fashion.
- Experiment with the color chrome or silver
- The logo needs to be dynamic
- Experiment with a swoosh around the center n' in Fit n' Healthy depicting a leash unwravelling.

Hard Drive Powerwash FREE 2.00
Hard Drive Powerwash is a Windows Utility that enables its users to remove file clutter from their systems quickly and easily. What is file clutter? File Clutter generally refers to files created by programs for temporary use. Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and others routinely save the content of every page we visit. Including images, text, script, cookies among others. In fact most Windows software create temporary files that are no longer needed but often not removed. Performance: In simple terms, Windows maintains a list of all files on our hard drives, the longer the list, the longer it takes to access the files we need. This directly affects our computers speed. Privacy: Another aspect to consider is privacy. Everything we do on our computers is stored in these files. By removing this clutter we in effect protect our privacy.
Features: Easy-to-use interface - One-view statistics how much disk space was recovered last time and since the program was installed - Scheduler to decide how often you want to start a searching process automatically - Very low system resources required - Very fast temporary files search engine - Cleaning all temporary folders - -Undo function by using the Recycle Bin - Configurable exceptions list - Drive selection to search on any re-writable media - Manual Washer to check and remove if necessary what will be deleted - Delete list of visited websites (History) - Delete list of web addresses you entered in the address bar (Typed URLS) - Delete marks set by websites to remember you (Cookies)

Taking on the Trade Laws of the 1 Percent
By early 2012, a little-known tribunal representing the interests of the 1 percent will likely make a ruling with significant implications for the 99 percent.
The tribunal is called the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). And, it is located in the giant concrete complex of the World Bank headquarters, which occupies an entire city block in downtown Washington, DC.
Five of us ventured down to the World Bank early in the morning of December 15 with 1,000 copies of a leaflet protesting the tribunal. Bank security guards warned us that we were not allowed to leaflet inside barriers set up in the wake of the huge anti-corporate globalization protests of a decade ago. We asserted our first amendment rights and told the security chief that he would have to call the police if he really wanted us to leave. We were allowed to stay.
As we passed out the leaflets, we invited World Bank staff to join us at noon in a rally outside the Bank. Most took the leaflet and a handful stopped to chat with us to find out why we were there; a few said they would return to listen.
By noon, we had inflated an 18-foot high "fat cat" outside the Bank, courtesy of the Teamsters union. Delegations from several other unions joined with environmentalists, religious activists, Central Americans, and groups in solidarity with the people of Central America. Activists from the Farm Labor Organizing Committee pulled up in a car, having traveled all the way from North Carolina to join us.
Then, at noon, representatives from these groups spoke to the 100 or so gathered and narrated the saga that brought us to the World Bank that December day.
The story began some two decades ago in Washington, when lawyers from the 1 percent that work along the K Street corporate lobbyist corridor just two blocks north of the World Bank got together to craft a set of corporate rights to insert in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
These so-called "investor protections," now in dozens of U.S. trade and investment treaties, are some of the most outrageous examples of excessive corporate power. In brief, they grant corporations the right to sue governments in international tribunals for compensation over actions—such as laws and regulations—that reduce the future value of corporate investments. While this may sound innocuous, such "protections" allow corporations to sue governments that enact environmental, health, or other measures enacted to protect the public, even when developed through a democratic process. In other words, corporate "rights" trump social, environmental, and democratic rights.
Gold or Water? A Deadly Debate
To protect their water supply, Salvadorans are trying to ban corporate gold mining—and facing threats and violence as a result.
Enter ICSID, an obscure tribunal in the World Bank empowered to rule on these "investor-state" cases. The president of the World Bank chairs the ICSID administrative council, while individual cases are determined by three judges. Those three judges, whom no one elected, can decide the fate of millions.
Our protest concerned a case currently before an ICSID tribunal that will determine the fate of many in El Salvador. A gold mining company, Pacific Rim, is suing that government for compensation because that government did not approve a permit for the company's gold mining project. The majority of Salvadorans oppose this project because of legitimate concerns that it could poison a river that is the country's biggest source of drinking water. Through ICSID, Pacific Rim is demanding in excess of $77 million.
The story gets even more outrageous. Pacific Rim is suing under the U.S. trade agreement with Central America and the Dominican Republic, called DR-CAFTA. But since Pacific Rim is based in Canada, and Canada is not a member of the DR-CAFTA pact, Pacific Rim created a subsidiary in Nevada in order to file this lawsuit.
Thus, the protest. The speakers, chants, and Salvadoran music were broadcast live (via a cell phone) on a radio station in the gold region of El Salvador. The youth who run the station have received multiple death threats for their role in spreading the truth about gold mining. In the past two years, four activists working to save their water from mining have been assassinated, including most recently a college student who was disappeared after putting up leaflets against mining.
Back in Washington, in the shadow of both the fat cat and the World Bank, the protest culminated in a delegation of six of us walking to the doors of the World Bank to deliver an open letter to this ICSID tribunal and to the president of the World Bank.
The letter, signed by over 240 labor unions and other organizations representing more than 180 million people, demands that democratic decisions in El Salvador be respected and that the Pacific Rim case be thrown out. The letter demands an end to the trampling of democracy.
We were met at the door by a senior World Bank official surrounded by security guards. He politely took the letter and the signatures, promising to deliver them to key officials, including the three judges who will make this decision. As we walked back through the metal barricades for the last time that day and wondered what impact our protest and petition might have, a woman who works at the Bank approached one of us whispered: "Your protest is all that anyone at the Bank is talking about today."
For this one day, representatives of the 99 percent were able to step into an arena that serves the 1 percent. It remains to be seen how ICSID will rule.
And, yes, you too can take action to help the people of El Salvador in this struggle.

Seven countries, two in a combined effort, met Thursday's International Olympic Committee deadline to submit a bid city for the 2022 Winter Olympics.
If the IOC wants to avoid its perpetual hypocrisy about qualifications to be host – and save everyone a lot of time, energy and money in a two-year bid campaign – it can award those Games right now instead of waiting for the planned July 31, 2015 vote.
Then the IOC could finally say it cared about spiraling costs and legacy and not leaving white elephant arenas and venues.
The six cities / regions that have filed applications are Stockholm, Sweden; Oslo, Norway; Almaty, Kazakhstan; Lviv, Ukraine; Beijing (ice) – Zhangjiakou (snow), China; and a joint Polish (Krakow) – Slovak (Jasna) bid. The $150,000 candidature fee is due Dec. 1 and formal applicant file by next March 14.
This is a no-brainer, which means some dummies within the IOC membership won't get it.
And the winner is. . .
. . .Oslo.
Ten reasons:
1. Atmosphere. The 1994 Lillehammer Olympics were by far the best by every standard of the nine I have covered for one simple reason: nowhere are winter sports more a part of the culture than in Norway. In 1994, it was as if Norwegians said, "Okay, we have this carnival of ice and snow sports every winter, so why not just invite the world to the party one year?" Norwegians love and understand most of these sports, and their athletes are good at them, and they know how to put them on.
2. Cost. Oslo is proposing to stage the Winter Olympics, from soup to nuts (or gravlax to reindeer steaks) for $5.3 billion. Compare that to the financial obscenity of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, where the skimming probably has reached $5.3 billion of infrastructure and operating costs in excess of $50 billion.
3. Oslo can keep costs down because it has several venues already in place (like the legendary Holmenkollen ski jump and Nordic competition areas), and it plans to re-use some facilities from Lillehammer, about 90 miles away.
4. Sweden, whose only Olympics were the 1912 Summer Games, also would be a wonderful place for a Winter Games, and Stockholm is one of the world's most beautiful and vibrant cities. But it proposes having some of the Alpine ski events 400 miles away in Are. Although the Olympics are consumed as a TV event by all but a relatively few people, 400 miles still is a bit of a stretch.
5. The IOC cannot allow itself to be hornswoggled by Kazakhstan, an oil-rich country with corruption issues alleged to taint even its president. In Transparency International's 2012 Perceived Corruption Index, only 37 of 176 countries are ranked more corrupt than Kazakhstan. (Where have we heard that before? Oh, yes, Sochi. Coincidentally, Russia is tied with Kazakhstan on that corruption index.)
6. Beijing broke promises a million ways to Sunday after getting the 2008 Olympics. Its winter air quality is among the worst in the world. Zhangjiakou's air the past two days has been only moderately polluted while Beijing's is listed as unhealthy.
7. Ukraine and the Poland-Slovakia bid just don't cut it against European competitors based in magnificent Scandinavian capitals like Oslo and Stockholm.
8. That Oslo is bidding constitutes a mild surprise, given the Norwegians' history of disdain for the IOC, expressed with no reservations during the Lillehammer Olympics. By rewarding Oslo, the IOC would show it can rise above itself and counter the equal disdain Bavarian voters showed new IOC president Thomas Bach of Germany by rejecting the idea of another Munich bid. There is a fear only countries on the make will be interested in hosting the Olympics, as my colleague Alan Abrahamson explained in an incisive column headlined "Big problem: no Munich 2022."
9. The Norwegians had to put up with the Tonya-Nancy circus in 1994. The Lillehammer organizers handled that with such grace and aplomb they deserve an Olympics free of such lunacy, especially since figure skating may be the one winter sport they don't give a flying fig about, Sonja Henie notwithstanding.
10. An Oslo Games would give everyone the chance to explore all the locales frequented by detective Harry Hole in author Jo Nesbo's mysteries. They are so much better than Stieg Larsson's Stockholm-based books as to be reason alone for picking Norway over Sweden.

February 19, 2010 –
Mr. MacDonald,
Nadia Kajouji's parents say Carleton University did not tell them about their daughter's disappearance for 48 hours.
Mr. Kajouji says when he asked why that was, someone representing Carleton told him "We got close to 4,000 people. We can't baby-sit everybody."
Nadia Kajouji's parents say that before their daughter's death, Carleton University never told them that:
-- Nadia Kajouji was seeing a counselor and was being prescribed anti-depression medication
-- was talking about suicide to her counselor
-- Carleton security was called to Nadia Kajouji's dorm after her dorm mates reported that she was taking about killing herself.
Nadia Kajouji's parents say Carleton University has still not told them why they were not informed of Nadia's suicidal state.
Please let me know if Carleton University would like to comment.
Meade Jorgensen
Dateline NBC
February 24, 2010 –
Hello Mr. Jorgensen:
I am writing in response to your questions of February 19, 2010.
Ottawa Police Services and Ms. Kajouji's family were informed that Ms. Kajouji was missing less than 24 hours after she was reported missing to the Department of University Safety.
With regard to the alleged comment made to Mr. Kajouji, the university has no record, nor any knowledge of anyone saying that to him. However, if someone did make that comment to Mr. Kajouji, the university apologizes for what we consider to be an inappropriate response under any circumstance to any parent speaking to the university with regard to their son or daughter.
Your other questions touch on the nature and substance of discussions that would have taken place between a patient and her counselor and doctor. Patients using Carleton's Health and Counseling Services - regardless of the reasons for their visit - expect that their privacy and confidentiality will be respected. We will not discuss any matters related to Ms. Kajouji's treatment with Dateline NBC.
Mr. MacDonald:
Thanks for your timely response.
Regarding your response about the University informing the family within 24 hours-- your response brings up a few more questions:
What family member or members did the University inform within 24 hours of Ms. Kajouji's disappearance being reported, and when was that (date, time)?
When were the Ottawa Police Services informed (date, time)?
And when was Ms. Kajouji reported missing to the Department of University Safety (date, time)?
Who made that report? (If not a name, then was it a student, faculty member?)
Meade Jorgensen

February 26, 2010 –
Mr. Jorgensen,
I am responding to your follow up questions of February 24, 2010.
At approximately midnight on March 11 Carleton's Residence staff notified the department of University Safety that Ms. Kajouji may be missing.
On March, 12 at approximately 13:30 University Safety attempted to reach Ms. Kajouji's family to inform them that she was missing. Unable to reach anyone, University Safety left a message asking the family to contact them.
At approximately 15:00 on March 12 University Safety filed a missing persons report with the Ottawa Police Service.
At approximately 16:30 on March 12 Ms. Kajouji's mother returned University Safety's call and was informed that the university had filed a missing persons report with the Ottawa Police.

"Are you ready for some football?"
With those words, Liberty University head football coach Danny Rocco fired up students at Friday's convocation. Rocco shared his wishes for a sell-out crowd to come and support the LU Flames at their home opener against North Greenville at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
The Liberty University Flames have garnered their second consecutive nod as preseason Big South conference favorites and stand ready for a season of "unfinished business."

Man, I hate eBay. I can now make a purchase in about 18 seconds flat, and suddenly all this stuff lands on my doormat and I'm like, "Woah. How did this get here?". Ahem.
Skin79 is a Korean brand that primarily makes BB creams (Blemish Balms – basically an all in one product, foundation, sunscreen, concealer, moisturiser – they aren't just supposed to be cosmetic, they are supposed to improve your skin condition too.)
I have bought their BB cream before but it's too light for me (I think a lot of them aren't just pale, but have a ashy-grey cast). However I spotted their concealer and powder!
The packaging is lovely. It's a study metal case with a shiny pink surface (argh fingerprints) – but it's a really nicely made product with a good amount of concealer:
This concealer palette comes in one colour choice only, and you get two shades, a light and dark in the palette. When I say dark….
…it isn't really very dark. I am guessing around a NC20? The other side is very light indeed, almost too much so even for my under eye circles…
It looks darker in the photograph than it actually is when applied!
The texture I like – it is opaque yet very emollient – easy to blend in and quite hydrating (read: not crusty). Nevertheless I would say it is a tad too thick for under the eye.
On the left is the lighter shade which is a whitish pale colour and on the right is the darker shade for the face. They are both a bit too light for my tastes.
My other huge issue with this palette, despite the thin yet opaque texture, is the fact that the lighter and darker shades are SO similar.
On some parts of my face they are almost interchangeable. This is pants! Because one is too light for my under eye circles, one is too light for my face. I can't mix them because they are so similar, it's pointless.
On my circles – a few dabs is ALL you need:
Hmm. As I mentioned, it's too light for my tastes, it's a bit too thick for the under eye. For that reason I don't find this palette as multi use as it COULD be.
– Nice emollient texture
– Nice packaging
– Good coverage
– Both colours too pale for medium skintones
– Packaging is pretty but gets marks easily
– A little to cakey for the eye area
I paid about £13 for this including shipping on eBay. I would say this would work for you only if you are in the fair skin category!
