When will these be available on the site or github?
When will these be available on the site or github?
Paul posted recently to a similar post - they are on his list of things to be done ASAP. It has been noted that his Schematic creation is manually created for usable detail - not just spit out from other software.
awesome, i'll keep on waiting
good news for the i/o map
have you a idea if it is possible to interface hard Qei in this case
do you now where find exemple of Qei parameters
thank you
Opps, a typo indeed.
Here's the completed schematic.
Also on the schematics page:
Thanks! What's the DMG2305UX's function? I thought it might be to allow Ext Vin and the USB to power it at the same time but I it's not set up that way.
Is that lowly switch on the mkl02 the famous Teensy *TM* Brickproofing Button?
Valid assumption that those many extra mkl02 pins {versus T_3.x's} are somehow related to what might be a debug avenue once noted?
Added minor fixes to the schematic, for the Program pin and 3.3V & GND (right side of the board between On/Off & VTAB). Also added 10 of the 11 test points which were overlooked earlier.
I should have known that. Thanks
N12? not used, left floating?
Indeed, N12 (USB_OTG1_CHD_B) is floating. That open drain output pin would normally be used to integrate the USB charger detection to an external power management chip, presumably so it could know when to draw much more current. Sorry, Teensy 4.0 doesn't support that sort of external power management integration. The wakeup pin (L6) and standby request (L7) are also unconnected.
PMIC_ON_REQ is connected to the 3.3V regulator enable, but that's the extent of Teensy 4.0's support for hardware power management. Trade offs had to be made to fit everything into the small size. Many other features (like native ethernet) that people wanted didn't make the cut either.
you have N11 twice, I think you meant N14 on the VDD_ADC_3v3. Why didnt you just upload the schematic from your CAD software?
I'm curious how you would build a custom board without using some form of software to design it
Conclusion, if you know your business post-it is all you need!
In this case, I upgraded from the usual post-it notes to a full letter-size sheet of paper with notes about each BGA pin. Even used Robin's collection of many different colored highlighter pens. She's a huge fan of color coding stuff. I usually don't bother, but this was a bigger project.
Still, no CAD software for the schematic. Sure, a schematic is useful for communicating with others. But for just me, as 1 guy without anyone else on the engineering "team", CAD schematics just slow me down.

|Condition or disease
|Hypertrophic Scars
The healing of deep thermal injuries is always associated with scarring. The healing process can lead to the formation of large scar bundles (e.g. hypertrophic scars). The scars can be discomforting, disfiguring and restrict motion if situated over or near joints. Evidence for effectivity of treatment for reduction of hypertrophic scars or the prevention of them is limited.
Different treatments are used such as intralesional injected steroids, topically used oily creams, silicone sheets or occlusive dressings. Compression garments are also frequently used. There is some evidence as to the effectivity of silicone sheets for recuction of hypertrophic scarring, however, these sheets cannot be used easily on all anatomical locations.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International has developed a silicone based scar remodelling gel, Dermatix®, which has been empirically shown by others to have potential to reduce hypertrophic scars.
Primary objectives are to demonstrate effectivity of Dermatix in promoting maturation of the scar, versus a control region that will be treated with an indifferent cream.

Peter Ormerod investigates the bizarre, troubling and extremely funny world of Found Footage
Goujon John stands in his Goujultation Zone. Like many characters who appear on Mr Biffo's Found Footage, he's a slick, troubling and troubled American salesman. He's all about the goujons, of course; we know not quite of what they are made, other than that they come from the "silvery bird". He stands in his 16-bit computer graphic domain in flickering and distorted form, dispensing goujon-related advice to assorted lost souls, who often turn out to be fairly successful comedians or musicians (most recently, it was him out of indie favourites Public Service Broadcasting). And that's probably the most conventional bit of Mr Biffo's Found Footage, which distressingly comes to its conclusion this weekend.
Found Footage is a series on YouTube which is notable for countless reasons. First, there's the ingenious conceit: it purportedly represents the contents of VHS tapes discovered at a car boot sale. It thus takes the form of a melange of apparently random snippets, all rendered in that fuggy style of old videos, with static and subliminal images often intruding. There are bits of TV programmes: Do You Remember When?, for example, prods at the lazy nostalgia of our times, while the guests on BurdTalk disagree furiously about whether the programme exists to praise or chastise our avian brethren. There are sort-of public information films: Simon Bates, a raucous American, explains the film certification system ("PG stands for Private Garden"; "18 is short for 1898") in abrasive tones. Then there are the adverts for such delights as Wasp Bells, an adult chat line called Mime Talk and a "sturdy boy" called Wet Pepe who makes everything soggy. There are songs: one is about Sir Clive Sinclair, another about Elon Musk. There are appearances from the disturbing duo of Kenny and Yuri Masters (starring Iain Lee, formerly of Channel 4's The 11 O'Clock Show, now one of Britain's most engaging and original broadcasters). There are recordings of a Geordie man mumbling while playing old-school video games, which tend to degenerate into worrying adventures in scatology. And there is a curious air of threat throughout, more of which in a bit.
None of this will surprise anyone familiar with the work of its creator. Found Footage has come from the mind - and possibly other organs - of Paul Rose, who, in the guise of Mr Biffo, was responsible for Teletext's long-lamented video games section, Digitiser. Seemingly inhabiting an entirely different dimension from anything else served up on teletext, Digitiser revelled in subversive surrealism and barely disguised profanity, its own array of characters including The Rapping Shoe, Mr T (don't mess with his bins) and The Man With A Long Chin. Rose's career since teletext died at the hands of digital TV has been similarly replete with baffling non sequiturs, covering everything from possibly the oddest TV pilot ever made (Biffovision, set in the world of 1980s Saturday morning children's television) to possibly the worst film ever made (Pudsey the Dog: The Movie, for which he wrote at least some of the script), via Bafta nominations as the co-creator of CBBC shows 4 O'Clock Club and Dani's House. Throughout all this, he's gained the support of Charlie Brooker, who donated towards the making of Found Footage and is credited as executive producer. Alex Garland, writer of The Beach and Ex Machina, is another admirer.
But maybe it all makes more sense than first appears. It's become clear over the past few weeks that the 20-odd-minute episodes of Found Footage have actually been building to a conclusion; these seemingly disparate parts actually have some meaning. The final episode, which goes online at 9pm on Sunday, is described as "tense, atmospheric, sci-action movie". It's as if John Carpenter at his most ambitious has been directing Reeves & Mortimer at their darkest.
"I got sick of the development process in film and TV," says Rose. "I've worked on so many projects – including a BBC One sitcom pilot with Dylan Moran and Maxine Peake – which nearly got made, that my heart just wasn't in it anymore.
"I was worn down from making compromises to create stuff that was more palatable and commercial, and it wasn't having an impact on its chance of success, so I decided to do something for me."
Handily for the rest of us, Rose was able to find enough backers who wanted to see what he could come up with to raise funds for a nine-part comedy series.
"Even then, my ambitions went through the roof," he says. "It was my first time directing, and I really wanted to reward the backers and prove what I was capable of, so I kept thinking bigger and bigger."
For one thing, Found Footage proves that all the money in the world is no substitute for an imagination like Rose's. And with sequences including a fast-paced speedboat chase, and two days filming in an abandoned nuclear bunker, complete with action sequences, special effects and prosthetics, it demonstrates what can be achieved with good will, hard work and an undiluted conviction.
"It isn't for everyone ," says Rose, who really needs to put those words in vast bold type. "It's weird in a late night, Adult Swim, kind of way. But nobody in the UK is brave enough to make shows like this anymore. Found Footage has shown that there is an audience hungry enough for this kind of absurdist humour that you can make it happen without having to worry too much about ratings.
"I think I've created something that is completely original, extremely high quality, and – most importantly – done it without the backing of a TV channel or movie studio. Those who love it really seem to love it."
* Mr Biffo's Found Footage - which we repeat is certainly not for everyone and contains strong language and scenes some viewers may find disturbing, as well as extremely funny - can be watched here.

Wide differences in death rates from disease still persist throughout England but effective healthcare can help to reduce these inequalities, a new study has discovered.
Researchers from the University of Leicester led a two-year project funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) into why differences in death rates from diseases like heart disease, strokes, lung disease and cancers still persist.
They found that age and poverty were among the biggest factors that accounted for the differences but they also discovered that effective delivery of healthcare could lessen the impact of these health inequalities.
The research, published in PLOS ONE and funded by the NIHR Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Research and Care (CLAHRC) for Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland, was led by a University of Leicester team including Louis S Levene, honorary clinical fellow, John Bankart, lecturer in medical statistics, Kamlesh Khunti, Professor of Primary Care Diabetes and Vascular Medicine and Richard Baker, Professor of Quality in Health Care and Director of the NIHR CLAHRC.
Dr Levene, a full time GP, said: "Our research examined the wide variations in death rates from major diseases between different areas in England, despite an overall steady decline.
"Our aim is to better understand what factors, particularly in the delivery of healthcare, might explain these variations in death rates. This knowledge could help local health authorities to focus on those measures (such as detecting more people with high blood pressure) that are more likely to reduce these 'health inequalities' over time and to tailor the delivery of these measures to the needs of the local population.
"Looking across all the primary care trusts in England, the main predictors of variations in death rates were population characteristics, especially age and socio-economic deprivation. However, the study showed that for each additional 1% of people known to have raised pressure, there is a decrease in coronary heart disease death rates of 3% and in stroke death rates of 6%.
"Also, for each 1% increase in the percentage of patients recalling being better able to see their preferred doctor, there was a decrease in lung disease death rates of 0.7% and in cancer death rates of 0.3%. These effects are independent of the other factors studied. Variation in the performance of GPs was generally not associated with variations in death rates."
Dr Levene said that, previously, it has not been entirely understood why there are still such variations in death rates in different primary care trusts in England.
He added: "This study successfully tested a new conceptual model that variations in death rates are mainly predicted by variations in the characteristics of populations, but that these effects are altered by some healthcare activities."
Professor Richard Baker, Director of the NIHR CLAHRC and based in the University of Leicester Department of Health Sciences added: "At a time of big changes to how the NHS, especially in the community, will deliver healthcare and associated financial constraints, those who commission healthcare need information about what aspects of healthcare are most likely to benefit the health of populations as a whole. Despite the universal provision of healthcare by the NHS, there remain huge variations in health outcomes.
"This study reminds us all of persisting health inequalities, and challenges for the future of healthcare. Health inequalities are mainly predicted by variations in the characteristics of local populations; healthcare can only partly combat this effect, but it is important that it does so through interventions that include measuring blood pressure, and offering a service that enables people who want to to see the same doctor.
"Healthcare system reforms should therefore aim to deliver cost-effective evidence-based interventions to whole populations, and foster sustained patient-doctor partnerships."
Dr Levene concluded: "It is gratifying to have completed a challenging project, which has the potential to inform and influence decisions about how healthcare needs to be delivered to local populations. It also demonstrates that our Department has increasing expertise in analysing important public health issues. Personally, I am excited by the opportunity that I, an ordinary full-time GP, have had to work with high-powered academic colleagues and to complete a piece of research accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed academic journal."

Assume I have a singular algebraic surface $X$ over an algebraically closed field (characteristic zero if you want) which is singular in a finite set of points. I am looking for a condition as to the nature of these singularities which will guarantee that after blowing up $X$ in each of the singular points once, I will get a smooth surface.
In my fever dreams, you find a reference for such a statement from a text book with a very laid-out, comprehensible proof. Any reference, however, is welcome. Thanks!

A datastore identifier is a simple name of a database object, such as a column, table, index, or view, and is composed of a sequence of letters, digits, and underscores ( _ ) that represents it's name. DataNucleus allows users to specify the names of tables, columns, indexes etc but if the user doesn't specify these DataNucleus will generate names. Generation of identifier names is controlled by an IdentifierFactory, and DataNucleus provides a default implementation. You can provide your own IdentifierFactory plugin to give your own preferred naming if so desired. You set the IdentifierFactory by setting the persistence property datanucleus.identifierFactory . Set it to the symbolic name of the factory you want to use. JPA defines what datastore identifiers should default to when not specified. DataNucleus provides a factory that meets this requirement.
In describing the different possible naming conventions available out of the box with DataNucleus we'll use the following example
class MyClass { String myField1; Collection<MyElement> elements1; // Using join table Collection<MyElement> elements2; // Using foreign-key } class MyElement { String myElementField; MyClass myClass2; }
The IdentifierFactory "jpa" aims at providing a naming policy consistent with the JPA specification.
Using the same example above, the rules in this IdentifierFactory mean that, assuming that the user doesnt specify any <column> elements :-
The underlying datastore will define what case of identifiers are accepted. By default, DataNucleus will capitalise names (assuming that the datastore supports it). You can however influence the case used for identifiers. This is specifiable with the persistence property datanucleus.identifier.case , having the following values
Please be aware that some datastores only support UPPERCASE or lowercase identifiers and so setting this parameter may have no effect if your database doesn't support that option.

If you're bringing a desktop to a LAN party, you've missed the boat.
The Qosmio is Toshiba's version of the perfect gaming machine. From the hardcore, rugged design complete with flames, red backlights, and bold case to what's actually being housed inside. You'll find that the X305 will not let you down. The Qosmio X305 could be Toshiba's largest contribution to the gaming industry. This is not just a laptop. It's what you'd imagine would happen if you auditioned for Pimp-My-Ride, and Toshiba walked out instead of Xzibit with a brand new laptop for you. Oh yes, oh yes.
The Qosmio houses quite a bit of power. Between the Intel Core 2 Extreme Mobile processor that balances more frames per second with superb power efficiency for the perfect blend of power and battery conservation. The unit can house up to 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, two NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS SLI graphics cards with 1 GB DDR3 discrete graphics memory, and a 320GB SATA hard drive that runs at 7200 RPM. This provides you with a maxed out potential of disgusting amounts of totalitarian gaming power for a performance unparalleled on your bestfriend's silly netbook. The 4 harman/kardon stereo speakers with sub-woofer also provide the necessary "bump"; who'd have thought a laptop could pack such a punch?
If you're still not impressed (yeah, yeah anyone can throw some crazy stuff in a laptop) the design of this unit will surely impress you. The 17″ widescreen display that has a full 1680 x 1050 resolution, the notebook's case is designed in such an eye-catching manner it's hard not to be impressed. The motif is obviously one of fiery passion, something Toshiba brings to their products, and you bring to the gaming arena. This is brought out in everything from the speaker covering panels, the backlighting, and the chassis; all are smothered in sick art that glimmers in light.
If you're a serious gamer who hates to lug around the desktop every Saturday night, then the time has come for you to purchase the Toshiba X305 Qosmio. Be the envy of all at the next LAN party, and sit pretty knowing this beast only cost 1,649.99.

The TLE20x7 and TLE20x7A contain innovative circuit design expertise and high-quality process control techniques to produce a level of ac performance and dc precision previously unavailable in single operational amplifiers. Manufactured using Texas Instruments state-of-the-art Excalibur process, these devices allow upgrades to systems that use lower-precision devices.
In the area of dc precision, the TLE20x7 and TLE20x7A offer maximum offset voltages of 100 µV and 25 µV, respectively, common-mode rejection ratio of 131 dB (typ), supply voltage rejection ratio of 144 dB (typ), and dc gain of 45 V/µV (typ).
The ac performance of the TLE2027 and TLE2037 is highlighted by a typical unity-gain bandwidth specification of 15 MHz, 55° of phase margin, and noise voltage specifications of 3.3 nV/Hz and 2.5 nV/Hz at frequencies of 10 Hz and 1 kHz respectively.

Who Will Time Pick?
You have to hand it to Time magazine for managing to drum up interest in their Person of the Year choice. There was a time, I suppose up to about 15 years ago, when people really cared who Time put on the cover as Man of the Year. It meant something. But the media landscape changed, and those who care about the news can turn to a million instant outlets and portals. Time once had that marvelous voice-of-God quality of the great journalistic institutions; now it's more obviously another voice in the choir, and a politically uniform and institutionally left-liberal choir it is.
But that's another story. This one is about how they've done a good job building interest in the Person of the Year by offering a list of possible choices that contains so many losers that people couldn't help reacting to it. Cable and broadcast news shows devoted stories and segments to it.
It was clever but also kind of nice and old-fashioned—traditional media carrying on its traditions, legacy media carrying on its legacy.
Time announces its choice tomorrow. Here a quick review of those it won't be, and why, and who it will be.
Bashar Assad, president of Syria. Don't be ridiculous. Nobody likes him. There's no way to balance the pros with the cons, no way to suggest he represents the future and not the past. It looks like he's defeated his foes, but what does that signal long0term? He won't do as a cover: His head looks like it was squeezed from a tube.
Sen. Ted Cruz. Of course not. He is a living encapsulation of everything Time hates. Once they did an encapsulation of everything they hated when they put Newt Gingrich on the cover, 19 years ago. They had an awful, glowering portrait. He looked pale and creviced as the moon, and the copy as I remember it suggested he was small, cold and spooky to look at on stormy nights. But Time had to choose him: He was the biggest political story of the year, having led the Republican takeover of the House in 1994, and on his way to the speakership. They can avoid Cruz, so they will. His name was put on the list only to agitate the left, and get them popping on cable.
Jeff Bezos. He had a big year in that he promised drone deliveries and bought the Washington Post—an investment that heartened fogies by suggesting old media has a place in the new world. If the drones happen and the Post begins to rise again toward its ancestral levels of journalistic indispensability, Bezos will be person of the year in a few years.
Miley Cyrus. Oh dear. Why? I guess for looking like one of Satan's pigtailed imps. Her choice would cause some controversy but too little to sell magazines. She offends only the sensitive, and they're a diminishing demographic. To put her on the cover Time would have to laud her specific genius, which she doesn't have, or deplore her as a signifier of unfortunate trends, which Time wouldn't do because they don't want to be caught on the wrong side of that argument.
Barack Obama. Why? Because his face on the cover will depress sales? Because it will look just like last week's cover? Because he's hopelessly overexposed? Because he's had his worst year? Because his poll numbers are down? Because he's becoming boring even to his supporters? Because the Democratic Party is 12 months away from beginning to cut ties with him in order not to be dragged down? Because his signature achievement is revealed every day as a disingenuous flop? He is on the list because presidents are always on the list.
Hassan Rouhani, president of Iran. Nah. What would that even mean? What he is as a leader remains to be seen. What is happening in the political life of his country remains to be seen. Maybe he represents an opening, maybe not. Maybe the nuclear deal is good, maybe not. Even the cover would be problematic. If Time used a photo of his normally expressionless and arguably rather smug face, no one would buy the magazine. If they commission a warm, friendly or interesting portrait it will open them to charges of being useful idiots for an evil regime. Anyway, this is America: no one knows what he looks like or who he is.
Kathleen Sebelius. More boob bait for cable. Why would they pick her? Because she is one of the public faces of the biggest domestic-policy disaster in 100 years? Because she's gormless, formless and deliberately obscure in all her public remarks? Because she stands for something people don't like? Because she proved herself historically incompetent? Because not only is it true that no one knows anything about her but no one wants to know anything about her? She is a functionary, an administrator. She is a cabinet secretary.
Edith Windsor. She would be a sentimental choice—her personal story is touching, she can arguably be called a harbinger of things to come, and Time is in line with her essential agenda. But no one beyond news sophisticates knows who she is. She's a runner-up.
Edward Snowden. This would be interesting. What he did this year was not only important but arguably world-changing. He has managed, like him or not, support him or not, to put front and center the issue America and the West had for a decade successfully ignored, and that is the depth, breadth and implications of government surveillance of the citizenry. That issue has now caused and will continue to cause huge discomfort and debate, and will one way or another bring legislative responses. A fresh look at Snowden's motives and actions would require deep and original reporting, as would the question of what, exactly, he has given America's foes and potential foes. Is he a traitor, a patriot, a whistleblower, a scoundrel? Did he put everything on the line for his beliefs, or for something smaller than belief, such as ego? What he has done will have real implications for our future. But he won't sell magazines. Or rather he won't sell the Person of the Year issue. People already think they have a position on him. They won't want to get another headache, not during the holidays.
Finally, Pope Francis. Who is the person I say will be chosen. Reasons, not in order of importance:
Because he has captured the imagination of the world. Because the Person of the Year issue comes out at Christmastime, and the choice of the pope will have seasonal synergy. Because he is coming up on one year on the throne of Peter; he is ripe for but has not yet received a major mainstream journalistic summing-up. Time will enjoy getting the jump. Because it's clear his papacy is going to be an important one. Because Francis is different from his recent predecessors in ways Time's editors and reporters would find congenial. Because pretty much everybody likes him. Because while many on the left and right feel they understand his economic populism, the exact form it will take—its precise nature, and what he'll do and say down the road—is not fully clear, which gives the story a little mystery. Because the pope is a Jesuit, and Jesuits interest journalists because journalists think they're smart. Because as a personality he is irresistable. Because he is a good man, not a bad one, and therefore makes the heart feel hopeful and not more anxious. And because he is, to a degree greater than any other leader you can name, exactly right for his time.
It will be Francis.

Hi Thom,
I agree w/ you on two things:
1) that debate over at my blog is hard to keep up w/...I don't know how better to organise it, but I'm open to suggestions! It doesn't help that I'm verbose and Adam is super-verbose. :-)
2) I too question the worth of continuing to respond here, but I have high hopes for you guys - you don't disdain discussion and that's more than one can say for lots of other people.
I note in passing that changing one letter out of an expletive goes a fair distance in displaying the state of your heart. Just saying.
As for me being a "street preacher", I misspoke. Here's what Dave said:
--You come across to me as a corner preacher with a bullhorn, tracts, and a giant billboard strapped to your body, "Repent, the end is near!!!" I do hope that isn't an accurate representation (it likely isn't, but all that I have to go on is the tone and attitude that comes across in your writings), but based upon your fixations with calling people out and cornering individuals that you know very little about…this is the way you come across to me.
Insulted? Well, words do hurt, you know. I challenge anyone to point out where I have made a similar negative comparison to Dave. I don't think it's unclear why Dave chose the abusive corner preacher to compare me to. You may think it's all b/c of me, but again, you'd have to point out where I've acted like one for that to stick.
THOM: I am more concerned that you (like most preachers) would advise Dave to be deceptive in relating to others where he is in his personal walk with God.
Why do you think it is commendable to question basic and obvious truths in the Bible? On one level I can see why that would be good - **IF** it leads to the strengthening of one's faith in that Bible and in those truths. For it to lead one elsewhere is nothing less than idolatry and is terrible.
For a leader like Dave to post such things on a public forum like a blog is worse yet - what kind of example is he setting for his people? Can you let me know what good you hope to see come from this?
THOM: Deception, that's how most failures in ministry happen.
Losing faith in and showing lack of confidence in the msg doesn't help either, you know.
THOM: Searching for truth and living it is never a "waste of time".
Agreed, but this is not the right kind of "searching for truth" that a leader should engage in.
THOM: And spend time better by teaching people, what exactly?
See, this is one of those things that SCARES me about the Emergent Church conversation. You don't know what to teach people?
1) Maybe you should ask your pastor.
2) If you are the pastor, for God's sake step down.
3) If you don't have a pastor, join a church and get one/some.
4) If you do have a pastor and he doesn't know, for God's sake go find another church.
The Scripture, Thom. The Gospel. You know, the stuff that's going to save your soul if you stop getting in its way?

I went to this advance session because -- in my view -- public speaking's a major hurdle for any woman candidate. It's tough to get elected without speaking up and speaking to groups. And for women, there's the low proportion of female elected officials to contend with. One speaker today recalled watching Chris Matthews during the 2008 presidential campaign say that Hillary Clinton just didn't sound presidential, prompting her to retort to her TV, "Of course not! We haven't had a woman president yet."
Of course, I went hoping to listen for hesitation specific to speaking. Is fear of speaking something that keeps women from running for office who otherwise might do so? The answer is yes and no, based on my sampling of the crowd. At least one woman I met had made a successful run for school board--but was telling anyone who'd listen that her hesitancy to speak was holding her back. And one of my table-mates admitted she's mulling a run for local office, but asked, "Can you help me stop shaking when I speak?" She soldiers through presentations, but finds the physical reaction devastating. Still other participants were working through a different sort of problem: Making the leap from advocating for their single issue to representing the issues of constituents they might not agree with.
Today's training, while not focused on speaking, offered some good concrete tips on messaging and a few resources I'd recommend to women who want to try a more active role in civic life, including these:
- Authenticity may be as important as confidence: Political strategist Kathryn Poindexter, who also conducts trainings for the White House Project, shared this intriguing observation about speaking in public for candidates: While many say they can't run because they're not confident, a more difficult problem is the candidate who tries to shape herself into something that she thinks will be electable. It's easier to be authentic than it is to be confident, she said, pinpointing the nexus between the two as being able to "sit with who you are and know that that's enough."
- Keep your message simple: Poindexter also counseled political campaigners to keep their messages honest, simple and in the form of stories. "Think children's books. Your message should be as simple as Everybody Poops," she said, noting that voters don't want to hear your full resume, your policy-wonk perspective or everything you know about wastewater treatment.
- Get some resources: The White House Project has trained some 10,000 women considering runs for public office, with a goal to do much more, so check out its workshops. Former ambassador Linda Tarr-Whelan's book Women Lead the Way: Your Guide to Stepping Up to Leadership and Changing the World,and White House Project co-founder Marie Wilson's book Closing the Leadership Gap: Add Women, Change Everythingboth offer insights based on data and experience of women candidates in the U.S. and around the world.

Rice reinforces gas hydrate strategy
New study goes deeper in proving simple technique to pinpoint valuable energy source
Their critics weren't convinced the first time, but Rice University researchers didn't give up on the "ice that burns."
A paper by a Rice team expands upon previous research to locate and quantify the amount of methane hydrates — a potentially vast source of energy — that may be trapped under the seabed by analyzing shallow core samples. The paper published this week by the Journal of Geophysical Research — Solid Earth should silence the skeptics, the researchers said.
Chemical engineers George Hirasaki and Walter Chapman and oceanographer Gerald Dickens headed the team.
In 2007, Hirasaki and former graduate student Gaurav Bhatnagar theorized that gas hydrates — methane that freezes at low temperatures and high pressures — could be detected via transition zones 10 to 30 meters below the seafloor near continental shores; at that level, sulfate (a primary component of seawater) and methane react and consume each other.
As sulfate migrates deeper into the sediment below the seafloor, it decreases in concentration, as evidenced by measurements of pore water (water trapped between sediment particles) from core samples. The depth at which the sulfate in pore water gets completely consumed upon contact with methane rising from below is the sulfate-methane transition (SMT) zone.
In the 2007 paper, Bhatnagar argued the depth of this transition zone serves as a proxy for quantifying the amount of gas hydrates that lie beneath; the shallower the SMT, the more likely methane will be found in the form of hydrates in abundance at greater depth.
Though hydrates may be as deep as 500 meters below the seafloor, locating deposits through shallow coring using such proxies should aid selection of deep, expensive exploratory drilling sites, the researchers said.
The controversy that followed the publication of the original paper focused on sulfate consumption processes in shallow sediment and whether methane or organic carbon was responsible. Skeptics felt the basis of Bhatnagar's model, which assumes methane is a dominant consumer of pore-water sulfate, was not typical at most sites.
"They believed that particulate organic carbon (primarily from ocean-borne dead matter) was responsible for reducing sulfate," said Sayantan Chatterjee, lead author of the new paper. "According to their assumption, the depth of the SMT, upward methane flux and hydrate occurrence cannot be related. That would nullify all that we have done."
So Chatterjee, a fifth-year graduate student in Hirasaki's lab, set out to prove the theory by bringing more chemical hitchhikers into the mix.
"In addition to methane and sulfate profiles, I added bicarbonate, calcium and carbon isotope profiles of bicarbonate and methane to the model," Chatterjee said. "Those four additional components gave us a far more complete story."
By including a host of additional reactions in their calculations on core samples from the coastline of Oregon and the Gulf of Mexico, "we can give a much stronger argument to say that methane flux from below is responsible for the SMT," said Hirasaki, Rice's A.J. Hartsook Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. "The big picture gives more evidence of what's happening, and it weighs toward the methane/sulfate reaction and not the particulate organic carbon."
The work is important not only for a natural gas industry eyeing an energy resource estimated to outweigh the world's oil, gas and coal reserves — as much as 20 trillion tons — but also for environmental scientists who see methane as the mother of all greenhouse gases, Hirasaki said.
"There's a hypothesis by Dickens that says if the ocean temperature starts changing, the stability of the hydrate changes. And instability of the hydrates can release methane, a more severe greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
"That can create more warming, which then feeds back on itself," Hirasaki said. "It can have a cascade effect, which is an implication for global climate change."
Chatterjee had the chance to discuss his results with his peers in July at the seventh International Conference on Gas Hydrates in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he presented a related paper that focused on the accumulation of hydrates in heterogeneous submarine sediment.
Chatterjee said a number of eminent experts commended him after his talk. "I got a chance to show my recent findings on our 2-D model. This will simplify the search and locate isolated pockets where hydrates have accumulated in deep ocean sediments," he said.
Chatterjee's conference paper was awarded a first prize at the prestigious Society of Petroleum Engineers' Young Professionals meeting and second at the Gulf Coast Regional student paper competition.
Co-authors include Chapman, the William W. Akers Professor of Chemical Engineering; Brandon Dugan, an assistant professor of Earth science; Glen Snyder, a research scientist in Earth science; Dickens, a professor of Earth science, and Bhatnagar, all of Rice.
Rice's Shell Center for Sustainability and the Department of Energy supported the research.

Holmes, who killed 12 people wants life in prison
DENVER (AP) — Lawyers for Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes said Wednesday he would plead guilty and serve the rest of his life in prison to avoid the death penalty.
The offer comes just days before the prosecution was set to announce whether they would seek to have Holmes put to death for the attack that killed 12 people and injured 70.
Prosecutors wouldn't say Wednesday whether they'd go along with a plea deal, and likely will consult with victims and their families before deciding whether to accept the offer.
If they agree, the case that started July 20 — when prosecutors say Holmes carried out the midnight massacre during a showing of the new Batman movie — could end quickly. In the filing, defense attorneys say the only thing that would hinder Holmes changing his plea on Monday is the prosecution's decision.
In the filing, Holmes' lawyers said they initially made the offer to plead guilty before Holmes' arraignment on March 12. At that hearing, Holmes' attorneys told a judge they weren't ready to enter a plea in the case, and the judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Defense attorneys also said they're still exploring a mental health defense and "counsel will vigorously present and argue any and all appropriate defenses at a trial or sentencing proceeding, as necessary."

More and more of our supporters are telling us they are really concerned about the impact the world's obsession with meat is having on the environment, climate change in particular. Cattle ranchers have clear cut millions of square kilometers of forests for grazing pastures, inhibiting the ability to absorb atmospheric carbon. Corporations can't build factory farms fast enough to satisfy our appetite for steaks and burgers. Each factory farm crams hundreds of animals into giant cesspools of manure that emit not only carbon dioxide, but the more potent gases of methane and nitrous oxide.
Pound for pound, the comparative impact of methane on climate change is 25 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. This is its Global Warming Potential. Together, we must become more meat aware and adjust our diets. When we add more plants and alternative proteins to our diets, we begin healing the planet.
The livestock sector, especially beef, accounts for 14% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, which is roughly equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector.
75% of agriculture land is devoted to raising animals.
According the the Worldwatch Institute, cattle enterprises are responsible for up to 80% of Amazon deforestation.
Livestock is the most significant contributor to nitrogen and phosphorus pollution of streams, rivers and coastal waters worldwide

The 2013 Report Priority Medicines for Europe and the World provides a public-health-based medicines development agenda, based on a systematic methodology for this priority setting. It is an update to the original 2004 Report Priority Medicines for Europe and the World and takes into account changes in global health and pharmaceutical innovation since 2004 in order to better address current and future patient needs.
This latest updated report analyses pharmaceutical innovation from a global public health perspective for Europe and the world, based on the principles of equity and efficiency. For this analysis, four inter-related criteria have been applied to determine priority disease areas of research:
Criterion 1: The estimated European and global burdens of disease;
Criterion 2: The common risk factors amenable to pharmacological intervention that have an impact on many high-burden diseases;
Criterion 3: The prediction of disease burden trends, based on epidemiological and demographic changes in Europe and the world;
Criterion 4: The principle of "social solidarity" applied to diseases for which there are currently no market incentives to develop treatments.
Pharmaceutical "gaps" have been established for the diseases and risk factors identified. A gap exists for a disease or condition when: pharmaceutical treatments for that condition will soon become ineffective (e.g. due to resistance); the delivery mechanism or formulation is not appropriate for the target patient group; or when an effective medicine either does not exist or is not sufficiently effective (e.g. lack of basic scientific knowledge or lack of financial incentive due to market failure).
Within the context of identifying the pharmaceutical gaps which have an impact on the health of people in Europe, particular emphasis has been placed on identifying those research needs which are also relevant for the rest of the world. This "commonality of interest" is an important bridging aspect of the project between Europe and the world for both the 2004 Report and the updated 2013 Report...
