Thanks to local friends we stopped to eat lunch at what was their family's favorite eatery. Loved their hummus (beautifully presented), grilled zucchini, falafels and kefta kebab but the best surprise was the order of fries -- the fries come with hot peppers and onions. Quite unique and delicious!
We ordered takeout from here and it was great and fast! They even chased my husband down the road when they realized something was missing from the bag. I think it took 2-3 blocks for the staff to catch up with him! All for a side of pickles! :-) We ordered 3 entrees and a couple of sides. It was... More

So, why look elsewhere? The plus is all the action on South St. & on 4th St. south-lots... More
Ordered: Mint ice tea which was just ok so I think it is overrated on other reviews here. I personally like strong dark tea or very Shawarma which was Lamb and chicken served with salad, hummus, and pita bread. The hummus wasn't the best Ive had but it was really good. The tomato sauce was not too seasoned which paired... More
Eating at Alyan's is akin to being in a small bistro in a Middle Eastern country. The food is cooked to order and absolutely superb. Generous portions. I try to go there at least once a month. It's a 5-star experience even though the baklava is more on the dry side and not dripping with honey.
Been coming here since the early 80's and it's always a treat. The mixed grill is what I usually get. The hummus tahini is authentic versus supermarket junk, you can taste the nutty sesame paste. Lamb chx beef and lamb sausage, salad tahini etc for $14 is a sweet deal.
I have enjoyed this intimate restaurant since college and that's good chunk of time, close to 20 years! To me, the middle eastern fare is delicious with melt-in-your-mouth falafels and other pleasing entrees. My sister and I recently visited and enjoyed our lamb platters, not to be missed with a side of unforgettable fries, where the hot chilies give your... More
I love this place. I used to live in Philly and go back to visit my family several times a year and I always go down to Alyan's. It right off the famous South Street at 4th and South. It's a little small in front but they also have an outside eating area that is delightful. The lamb and pita... More
Food was great and so was the service. we prefer the inner room, its beautifully decorated and offers more privacy. Highly recommend it for middle eastern food.

How To Donate Brain Tissue
- Tissue Donation Flow Chart for Next of Kin
- Important Information for Donors and Families
MS patients wishing to donate should complete the donor enrollment forms (located under the "forms" heading below) and send them to the Rocky Mountain MS Center by mail to the address below. Please note that these are legal documents and should be completed entirely, leaving nothing blank. If you do not know the answer to the question on one of the forms, please write, "N/A".
Rocky Mountain MS Center
Attn: Tissue Bank
8845 Wagner Street
Westminster, CO 80031
Once the Center has received the documents filled out in their entirety, the donor will receive a donor card in the mail with information on how to donate tissue.
Relatives should notify the Rocky Mountain Multiple Sclerosis Center Lab immediately after death, or before hand if death is imminent.
On-Call Tissue Bank Coordinator: (720) 626-6060
The tissue bank coordinator is on 24-hour call, however, very few arrangements for pathologists can be done after business hours or during the weekend. If the donor is in a critical state, it is beneficial to alert the Rocky Mountain MS Center Tissue Bank of this condition before the time of death. After death, the remains should be transported to the hospital morgue, or the funeral home of the family's choice and kept cool until tissue removal arrangements can be made.
The research procedures are performed in the course of a routine autopsy and will not delay funeral arrangement or disfigure the deceased. The research procedure is done at no cost to the family. If the donor's residence is not in Colorado, we will contact a local pathologist to perform the autopsy.
For Donors:
1. Combined Consent and HIPAA Authorization Form
2. Donor Enrollment Information Form
For Next of Kin:
Frequently Asked Questions for Donors
Why should you donate your bodily tissues?
Multiple sclerosis research is limited to human tissue and cannot be studied in an animal model. Because MS affects the brain and spinal cord, experimentation on these tissues can only be carried out after death when such tissue can be collected. Such studies are designed to increase our understanding of the factors which may play a role in the cause of MS.
How do you donate your bodily tissues?
To donate bodily tissues you need to complete the Combined Consent and HIPAA Authorization Form and the Donor Enrollment Form. The completed forms should be returned to the Rocky Mountain Multiple Sclerosis Center. At that time a Tissue Donation Identification Card will be sent to you identifying you as a donor. Relatives and close friends should know of your donation plans so they are aware of your wishes and the notification procedures. Your next of kin will need to complete the Disposition Permit and Authorization to release medical records at the time of your death.
Who else should know about your plans for donation?
At the very minimum, the legal next of kin should be aware of plans for your tissue after death. Your family physician and/or nursing home administrator should be given copies of the donation forms. Other relatives and close friends should also be notified. After becoming an enrolled donor, will the RMMSCTB guarantee my tissue will be accepted for donation?
Unfortunately, no. The RMMCS Tissue Bank will try to accommodate every incoming donation; however, not all circumstances are optimal for tissue acquisition. Time constraints and location of a local pathologist are often the largest issues. Potential donors can combat these issues by locating a pathologist in their area of residence, and instructing their next-of-kin to call the on-call tissue bank coordinator as soon as possible after death, or before, if death is imminent.
What if one has already willed one's body for transplantation?
Since a virus may cause MS, we do not recommend that eyes, kidneys, or other organs be donated for transplantation.
Legal Advice
It is not necessary to have legal counsel in preparing these organ donation forms. However, different states vary with regard to their donation protocols. If you live outside Colorado, we strongly suggest you review with your physician and/or a local pathologist, state regulations regarding tissue donations to ensure your wishes are complied with. If you wish to contact the Center, we can help you to secure this information. Frequently Asked Questions for Next of Kin How will transportation of the donor be handled?
At the time of death, it is the family's responsibility to notify their funeral home of choice and indicate that the remains must be held and kept cool for tissue donation. Often times, the funeral home will offer to transport the donor's remains to and from a procedure room for tissue removal. A Tissue Bank Coordinator will then work with the funeral home to locate a local pathologist and arrange transport to and from the facility for tissue removal.
What is the time frame for tissue donation? If the donation occurs in the Denver area, typically the tissue is removed on the following business day after death of the donor. The tissue removal usually takes 1-3 hours. Afterwards, the Tissue Bank Coordinator arranges the transport of remains to the funeral home of the family's choice. The remains will arrive at the funeral home for personal arrangements 24-36 hours after death. If the donation occurs out side the state of Colorado, the time of tissue donation will vary depending on the region the donor lives, the day the donor passes away, and the availability of a local pathologist. The time and location of the removal will be done at the discretion of the local pathologist, typically in the local hospital pathology department, or the procedure room at the funeral home and during the following business day. The remains will arrive at the funeral home for personal arrangements 24-72 hours after death.
What is the cost of tissue donation?
There is no cost to donate tissue. The Rocky Mountain MS Center Tissue Bank will pay for all arrangements regarding tissue removal and transport to and from the hospital/procedure room of the local pathologist, or transport to and from University Hospital for donations in the Denver area. The Tissue Bank does not pay for any funeral arrangements regarding the remains after tissue donation.
Will I be able to find out what specific purpose the donor's tissue will be used for?
The Rocky Mountain MS Center Tissue Bank stores tissue fixed or frozen until samples are requested from a MS investigator. The most recent studies include neurological imaging for improvement of MS diagnosis and characterization of active and chronic lesions.
Will the Rocky Mountain MS Center pay for funeral arrangements such as cremation?
No. The Tissue Bank will pay for any charges accrued during the tissue removal and transport to a facility where the tissue is removed. After the removal, the next of kin is responsible for any funeral arrangements afterwards.
Will we be able to donate the entire body to the Rocky Mountain MS Center?
No. The Tissue Bank can only accept CNS tissue, the brain, spinal cord, optic nerve and cerebral spinal fluid. The remains after the removal of tissue harvest must be released to a funeral home or mortuary of the family's choice.

BOGOTA, Colombia, Jan. 14— A volcano erupted in southern Colombia today as a group of scientists from around the world was collecting gas samples inside the crater, officials said. At least 6 of the experts were killed, 8 were injured and 10 are still missing, the Red Cross and the local fire department said.
Three consecutive explosions of rock, gas and lava, accompanied by a small earth tremor, shook the region near the town of Pasto, 375 miles south of Bogota, Pasto's fire department said.
On Monday about 100 seismologists, geologists, meteorologists and other experts from scores of countries began a conference in Pasto to study, among other things, methods to deal with natural disasters.
"Unfortunately the eruption occurred when various volcano experts were inside the actual crater," Eduardo Arizabaleta, a Colombian Red Cross official, told the RCN radio network.
Three of the dead were identified as Colombians, but no information was immediately available on others. At least two of the injured were Americans; their condition was not known. One injured volcanologist from Ecuador told the radio of hiding inside an opening in the side of the crater.

Sneaky Ninjas is a 2D platformer that tries to mix elements of stealth into its gameplay. The game created by Starfall Studios, is endearingly cute and takes players to Japan to experience the adventures of four Ninjas. The game offers challenging gameplay where players can jump to their hearts content but must avoid falling into the abyss. Starfall Studios is still in the process of tirelessly working on an official release. Therefore, certain elements, including story, were not refined or completely clear. Nonetheless, the demo defines the foundations of an interesting and enjoyable 2D platformer, that with more funding could evolve into something exhilarating.
While the game takes place in the Land of the Rising Sun, I found myself in a bright world of green grass and bouncing mushrooms. The game allows players to control one of four Ninjas. Once a character has been chosen, their story begins. At the start, a quest is given by your sensei and then the 2D platform world has to be navigated. The aim of the game is to reach the end and ring a gong.
As I only played a demo version of this game, it was hard to grasp if there was any story to Sneaky Ninjas. During the level I played, I passed some people in a cage and was unsure how to free them, or if I was meant to. There were no quests given that mentioned these prisoners and they themselves did not cry out for help. Unfortunately for the prisoners, this meant I quickly bounced away and carried on, leaving them trapped forever. Furthermore, the lack of story made me quite unenthused about Sneaky Ninjas and after I had rung the gong, I wondered what it had all been for.
The art style Starfall Studios have used is extremely adorable, the drawings and animations are all rounded and the bright colours gives it an overall fun appeal. The soundtrack is also simple with Japanese undertones in each jingle. However, the soundtrack is sparse and the few tracks loop into an annoying tune thats grates after the first 20 minutes. Starfall Studios have also allowed players to choose between several graphical settings including Fast, Good, Beautiful or Fantastic (of course, I went for Fantastic!). Alas, the game denies you the ability to fine tune your graphical settings any further, as you are only able to choose between one of the above. Consequently, running in Fantastic meant the game ran at 1080p.
The simplicity of the game's design is also its main problem; the several levels I experienced in the demo also lacked variation. The levels contained the same set of features such as, red mushrooms and wells. These components were reused and just placed in different locations. The uninspired environments made the game less exciting to play as the element of fun vanished. This was because the game lost its adventure theme as exploring became dull and I knew what to expect each time.
My final qualm with Sneaky Ninjas' style was its inability to show players which platforms could be grabbed or climbed. In the demo, the tutorial was brief and didn't show me many of the mechanics I could utilise. Furthermore, there was no implication of which platforms could be grabbed. This meant I was constantly jumping at ledges and hoping for the best. As you imagine, each jump or climb in Sneaky Ninjas became exasperating due to the possibility of being unfairly killed.
As Sneaky Ninjas is a 2D platformer, its gameplay mirrors the usual mechanics associated with the genre. Players can jump, climb and swing as they traverse from A to B. Sneaky Ninjas also introduces stealth mechanics so players can hide in grass, wells and bushes. Moreover, if players don't want to take the stealthy approach they can hurt guards by shooting them with arrows, throwing shurikens, or by jumping on their heads.
Starfall Studios provides 3 different modes of gameplay. One mode is named 'Ninja 101' – this teaches you how to use the various mechanics and techniques that can be used throughout the game. The second is the main campaign, where players can enjoy the story. The final mode, 'Platforming', is focused on testing your abilities to move throughout the environment without worrying about enemies. The implementation of this last' mode lengthens gameplay and keeps the fun going long after the campaign is completed.
To continue, each ninja has their own skill set so players can choose which playstyle they will prefer. For example, Kaida can slow down time whilst throwing projectiles or can throw two projectiles at once. Whereas another ninja, Taro, turns into a log when hit so he can escape danger. The special abilities each ninja has can only be used once the magic bar has been filled. This can be replenished via completing stealthy actions such as, taking guards down silently or sneaking past them.
One major issue I had with Sneaky Ninjas gameplay was with its mushrooms. These serve as a way for the player to ascend by bouncing on them, however, the mushrooms in the game do not always work as they should. When jumping on the mushrooms it was rare that they propelled my character into the air. On certain jumps my ninja would fly into the air and other times it took several attempts before my ninja finally moved. This fussy mechanic hilted gameplay dramatically and made something fun unnecessarily difficult and frustrating. On the bright side, whilst playing the Sneaky Ninjas demo, I did not experience any glitches within the game or framerate issues.
Conclusion – Is This Something To Watch?
Despite the above criticisms of Sneaky Ninjas, I would not rule this game out entirely. Starfall Studios are still in the process of working on this charming platformer so the above issues I experienced could all be ironed out when the game is released. Furthermore, the Studio has promised to add more levels and depth to the story, which should provide an overall fun experience. Those who enjoy a platforming challenge and want the ability to stealth in a 2D platformer, should keep an eye on Sneaky Ninjas as it could shape up to be a lot of fun!

Nice graphics but not true to size!

Purchase Reason
I was pretty stoked to get this T-Shirt, but found myself perplexed at how small the Adult's Medium size really was. If this was actually meant for an adult woman, I guess it would fit a little better. This was purchased for my 16 year old son and although he's slim, he's 6'1". I don't use a dryer for any t-shirts or jeans etc. and wash with cold water always. This just doesn't cut it even for the discounted price. Maybe it's also because of the inferior fabric!

Would you hit the lakes from, say Dry Falls up to Chopaka over a few days or western Montana rivers mid September? Have been to neither and looking for an adventure and new territory. More experienced with river fishing than lakes but did learn at Lenice a couple of times earlier this year. Would rather fish more than drive but also want to catch fish - quantity is more important than size and I prefer dry action. Are the lakes still too warm? Is there good wade access at Clark Fork, Bitterroot, Rock Creek? Do have a float tube. Will sleep in a bag in the back of the truck but do have use of a cabin in Thompson Falls, MT but would only use it the first night on the way in. I'm all ears!
You might try the St. Joe river in Northern Idaho. The river is about 8 hours from Seattle area but is worth the drive if you are going to stay for a while. You drive into St. Regis MT and head back southwest into Idaho. The river is one of the prettiest rivers I have ever fished and the native Cuts are gorgeous. Even better, they love dry flies. If you go, you will be hooked for ever! Just one man's oppinion, but I would take the drive. You'll be smiling for months.
The NF Clearwater or Lochsa will be equally as good or better and will have even fewer people. Check out http://www.traflyfish.com This time of year those westslope cutts will rise to a cigarett butt tossed into the water and the bigger fish come out of their high summer ranges because of the cooler water and air high up. I'll be heading that way the first week of October. Randy
I was on the Lochsa two weeks ago for four days and had a great time. The upper section which is catch and release had Westslope cutthroat that averaged 8 to 10 inches. But I hooked and landed a couple of 16". I found that a deep run just below a shelf seem to hold the fish. There is 65 miles of road that runs next to the river with lots of pull outs, but again for dry fly action I would look at the upper 30 miles. It's wider and wadable. Water temp was 62 degrees and should be cooling down. Oh and if you have time there is a hot springs a mile up Warm spring creek, and easy hike. Gene
Having just returned from western Montana, I would highly recommend it. All of the rivers over there have good wade access, you just need to ask one of the shops where to go. You might also think about the Blackfoot. It has been fishing very well on and off right now. I also spent some time on Rock Creek. The first night there I had a grand slam - rainbows, cutts, browns and a brookie. If you decide to go let me know how you do. Scott
Funny, a guy told me exactly the same thing this morning....Bob, is that you?? He also said that there was a flyshop in St Regis which I'll hit for fly recommendations...any suggestions? Thanks for your input.
Thanks, all for your replies...I'm pumped! Heading out Thursday morning! Will report back upon return.

According to CrunchGear, Best Buy CTO Robert Stephens tweeted out a couple of pictures of a Tablet that apparently Best Buy will be offering under the Rocketfish label. Rocketfish is the label Best Buy rebrands a number of items with. There's no word on what the Tablet is running or what the specs are, but it does look suspiciously like the HP Slate. CrunchGear has some interesting speculation as to why that may be.

Customer reviews and testimonials Write a review
Stand Up and Deliver
Johnny Douglas, via The Good Book Stall'Truly laughter without truth is empty,' so pens Andy Kind in a year long stretch that is engagingly summarised here in grit and graft of the world of comedy. This is a personable and authentic story. The twelve formative months of a fledgling comedy career shoe-horned neatly into a paperback. Stand Up & Deliver is sure to be a revelation to many and a relief to others. A revelation to those that think comedians appear fully formed on television without years of toil, triumph and heartbreak. It's a 'warts and all' account of the side of stand-up comedy that few see or understand.
The final third of the book, I found particularly moving and surprising in equal measure, with Kind, unafraid to tackle some of life's big questions head on. Kind is living his dream and the unique calling God has entrusted to him. Warm, compelling and full of soul!

New leading sciences and the changing boundaries between public and private Andrea Bonaccorsi University of Pisa Member of the High Level Expert Group on Maximizing the wider benefit of basic research and the European Research Council European Commission, DG Research Six countries programme Rotterdam, April 21, 2005
Outline The new scientific landscape: the emergence of new leading sciences The performance of European science in new leading sciences Moving boundaries between public and private
The new scientific landscape A new scientific landscape has taken shape in the last 20 years or so. It results from the combination of several revolutionary advances: - the molecular biology revolution, particularly after the recombinant DNA discovery and the development of PCR; - the pervasive information technology revolution, resulting from advances in algorithms, computer science, microelectronics, and more recently from the convergence with telecommunication; - new advances in materials science; - new opportunities in nanotechnology, particularly after the invention of resonance microscopy.
The new scientific landscape These new fields and disciplines share some intrinsic characteristics: - are based on reductionist explanation strategies, but deal with complex systems at various levels of resolution; - evolve through a complex interaction between scientific understanding and engineering manipulation, i.e. between sciences of nature and sciences of artificial; - include many general purpose technologies; - cut across disciplinary boundaries and actively promote overlapping.
Search regimes Rate of growth - fast growing vs slow growing Degree of diversity - convergent dynamics vs divergent dynamics Level of complementarity - physical infrastructure vs. human capital and institutional complementarity New leading sciences (materials science, life sciences, computer science, incl. biotech and nanotech): fast growing, divergent dynamics, human capital and institutional complementarity HLEG: definition of frontier research.
Rate of growth How do new fields of research are generated within disciplines? Which is the post-entry dynamics of growth? Which is the steady state rate of growth? We study the entry of new words in scientific publications: - post-entry dynamics - arrival process within the scientific discipline and turnover ratio (new words/existing words)
Evidence from Nanopublications Source: Bonaccorsi and Thoma (2005)

Number of occurrences of the word Neural network in the publications of the top 1000 scientists in computer science

Stylized evidence on rates of growth First, scientific fields grow at very different rates after entry. As a first broad distinction, there are fields that grow extremely rapidly and fields characterized by slow growth after entry. Post-entry growth rates sharply differ. Second, disciplines largely differ in the composition of fields characterized by different rates of growth. In some disciplines it seems that new fields are generated continuously, so that the turnover ratio is extremely high, while in other disciplines the turnover is much lower.
Degree of diversity: How many directions does search take? Units of analysis: research programme (Lakatos) combined with the network of socio-technical constructs (Callon-Latour-Laredo-Pickering). Levels of diversity: 1. Theory 2. Research question, goal or problem 3. Experimental technique and equipment 4. Object or locus of observation Diversity may take place at any level.
Degree of diversity Because diversity is defined across all levels, our definition does not overlap with diversity in paradigms. Paradigmatic change takes place mainly at the level of theories and research questions. Within the same paradigm we may observe large diversity due to - the use of different experimental infrastructure, with the associated procedures, practices and localized learning processes - the selection of different objects or loci of observation, corresponding to different sub-hypotheses within the same general paradigm.
Degree of diversity How many different directions does search take? Even within the same paradigm and theory, research programmes may differ by: - specific hypotheses or research question - experimental technique - object or locus of observation A dynamics of increasing diversity may be defined divergent. Divergence may be: - strong (competing, non compatible hypotheses) - weak or complementary (mutually compatible hypotheses but diverging search strategies)
Convergent dynamics diversity is stable or tends to decrease most research programmes follow the same set of specific hypotheses and use the same tools e.g. high energy physics, nuclear physics, astronomy, traditional chemistry, nuclear technology, aerospace, TLC, conventional engineering Divergent dynamics diversity explodes the same theory or paradigm (e.g. molecular biology) gives origin to many competing or just diverse programmes e.g. HIV, Alzheimer, molecular oncology, nanotechnology, computer languages, computational chemistry
We study the concentration of keywords used in scientific publications - highly concentrated disciplines: a few keywords absorb a large share of publications- research programmes tend to converge along the same directions - highly fragmented disciplines: there are many directions of research, no dominant pattern. Future research: mapping/ clustering of keywords over time
Concentration of keywords in publications of top 1000 scientists in Computer science and High energy physics Computer High science energy physics Number of publications of top 1,000 scientists 9,062 41,770 Number of publications with keywords6,40134,379 Publications with keywords (%)71%82% Number of different keywords18,03150,952 Average number of keywords per author5.355.44 Concentration ratio (C 250 )*26.5%29.3% * Cumulative market share of top 250 keywords (Number of occurrences of the top 250 keywords/ total number of occurrences in all publications)
Relative frequency of top keywords in High energy physics and Computer science
Plot of rank correlation of top 250 keywords in High energy physics (r=.79)
Plot of rank correlation of top 250 keywords in Computer science (r=.49)
Level of complementarity Traditional type of complementarity in science: - physical facilities (e.g. big science) New forms of complementarity: - human capital complementarity (different disciplinary background, need for flexibility in education, career, affiliation, organizational setting) - institutional complementarity (different institutions involved, e.g. university/laboratory/ hospital in molecular medicine)
The performance of Europe in new leading sciences (a) European science is strong in fields characterized by convergent search regimes and weak in fields characterized by divergent search regimes. (b European science is strong in fields characterized by high levels of infrastructural complementarities while it is much less prepared in fields characterized by human capital and institutional complementarities. (c) Consequently, European science is strong in fields characterized by slow growth and weak in fields characterized by turbulent growth. (d) European science is only quantitatively comparable to US science but is weaker in the overall quality and is severely under-represented in the upper tail of scientific quality.
Specialisation patterns (Revealed Comparative Advantages, 1981-1994) no European country is specialised in Computer science no European country is specialised in Engineering; in biology and biochemistry small European countries (Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland) exhibit strong specialisation while large countries have an index lower than unity; in molecular biology several large countries (United Kingdom, Germany and France) and small countries (Netherlands, Finland, in addition to Switzerland) are specialised; Europe as a whole is specialised in a few biomedical areas (pharmacology, immunology, microbiology) and in the large traditional disciplines of chemistry, physics and astronomy.
In materials science EU-15 produce 40,108 papers and receive 83,748 citations, while NAFTA produce 31,620 papers but receive 106,841 citations In the life sciences EU-15 produce 616,212 papers and US 529,608 in the period 1995-1999, but the citation impact (1993-1999) is 1.35 in USA and only 0.90 in EU-15 In computer science the citation impact (1993-1999) is 1.33 for Israel, 1.17 for US, but only in the range between 0.81 (Germany) and 0.95 (Italy) for the four largest countries Source: Third European Report on S&T Indicators (2003)
What do these disciplines have in common? A divergent search regime a dynamics of proliferating research programmes, often generated within the same paradigm, that increase the diversity of the field in terms of hypotheses, experimental techniques, objects of investigation. European science is strong in fields characterized by convergent search regimes and weak in fields characterized by divergent search regimes
What do these disciplines have in common? A search regime characterized by new forms of complementarities Not much physical infrastructure complementarity (big science) But: - human capital complementarity - institutional complementarity European science is strong in fields characterized by high levels of infrastructural complementarities while it is much less prepared in fields characterized by human capital and institutional complementarities.
European science has developed separate institutions at national, intergovernmental and European level, for dealing with search regimes with strong physical infrastructure complementarities (e.g. high energy physics, astronomy, space research, oceanography, nuclear technology). It is much more difficult to provide emerging fields the required complementarities in terms of human capital within the common institutional framework. There are few rapid growth mechanisms.
Rate of growth of broad disciplines over the period 1995-1999 the fastest growing area has been computer science with a growth rate of almost 10% earth sciences, engineering and mathematics also show high growth rates, varying between 4.2 and 4.6% biology and agriculture have the lowest growth rates with 1.4 and 1.6% respectively the broad field of life sciences as a whole experienced a growth rate of 2.33% the growth rate for the broad field of engineering was 4.5%, of which 35% was materials science, that grew at 1.9% per year. European science is strong in fields characterized by slow growth and weak in fields characterized by turbulent growth
Upper tail in quality of research. Piece of evidence # 1 Data on the most cited scientists worldwide have been recently made available by ISI on the basis of the analysis of 19 million papers in the period 1981-1999, authored by 5 million scientists. They refer to around 5,000 scientists worldwide in all fields, selected as those 250 that receive the largest number of total citations in any subject area (0.1% of the total). In all 21 fields US scientists largely dominate, with a proportion of highly cited scientists ranging from 40% in pharmacology and agricultural sciences to over 90% in economics/business and social sciences and an average around 60-70% of the total. Among the 21 areas, only in other three areas non-US countries represent more than 40% of the total: physics, chemistry and plant and animal science (see Basu, 2004).
US scientists dominate in each of the 21 subject areas of science USA (Source: Basu, 2004)
Piece of evidence # 2 We examined (with non-ISI sources) the publications of top 1,000 scientists by citations received along all their scientific career in - Computer science - High energy physics and all publications in nanotechnology for the period 1990-2001 (ISI source). We identified the most productive institutions in terms of total number of publications in the period and ranked the first 100.

Top 10 list
The performance of European science Europe (possibly with the exception of UK and Scandinavian countries) has problems in matching a rapid quantitative growth with adequate quality and the ability to dominate the upper tail of scientific reputation These problems largely come from the mismatch between new leading sciences and the prevailing institutional setting in most European countries The European institutional setting: exhibits weaker selection properties has less flexibility has few mechanisms for rapid massive growth encourages lower mobility Under conditions of rapid and divergent growth, opportunity costs for scientists strongly increase.

Criticism to the linear model of science-technology interaction (Rosenberg, 1976; 1982; Kline and Rosenberg s chain-linked model) The problem of increasing returns, path-dependence and the public role as variety-preserving (Callon). The notion of innovation as unfolding process and the public role against system failure (Metcalfe, 2005).
The new terms of the public-private debate Under divergent search regimes, the trade-off between exploration and exploitation is not sustainable for private firms in the long run. Private investment is not interested in reducing variety (Callon). Rather, it is aimed to maximize the potential for exploration and the ability to absorb external knowledge via the acquisition of access rights. Divergence forces a redefinition of the division of innovative labour between private and public.
The redefinition of the division of labour between public and private Traditional boundaries cut across the nature of knowledge as a product: -basic knowledge (general, abstract, indeterminate use value,, imperfectly appropriable): public -applied knowledge (specific, concrete, quantifiable use value, easily appropriated): private In the new landscape these boundaries are not appropriate.
The redefinition of the division of labour between public and private (2) New boundaries follow the nature of the search process: -public sector has the interest to advance the whole tree of search and to keep options open: constitution of human capital + new types of infrastructures (eg databases) -private sector has the interest to access the search tree under conditions of non exclusivity
The new policy agenda -Joint laboratories -Matching funds -Mobility of researchers -Redesign of research careers -Time management -Redefinition of intellectual property rights (to grant access while keeping incentive to innovation high)

Dr. Johnson was knowledgeable, punctual and understanding. He was one of the only doctors I've dealt with that didn't treat me like a drug seeking loathe he understands chronic pain and did more than just write a rx. Also this picture of him is terrible. He is adorable in real life. Almost too cute to be a doctor.

Dr. Johnson is very nice and seems to care about his patients. I am on workers comp and while the system fails Dr. Johnson has done everything he can to help. I would recommend him.

Cycle Show 2011 Coverage
After appearing at the Cycle Show, Road Cycling UK wrote the following about the Paulus Quiros Design Stainless Steel 953 Tourer:
Perhaps the highlight of this year's Cycle Show was a stunningly realised retro-styled touring cycle from Carmarthenshire-based handbuilt specialists Paulus Quiros. Built using polished stainless steel lugs, the frame is silver-brazed with Reynolds 953 tubing throughout including the 953 fork blades that complete the specification.
The lugwork is exquisite, with fine details such as the hanger for the rear cantilever brake cable set off by polished aluminium mudguards and the natural tan shades of the Brooks saddle and leather handlebar tape.The transmission is Campagnolo's Comp triple with a 13-29 cassette while the pedals are an interesting CNC-machined replica of an old Lyotard platform design.
Perhaps the only detail we might quibble is the fitment of a threadless handlebar stem. Quill stems may be inferior in performance and increasingly hard to find, but using one would surely add to the aesthetic appeal of this delightful machine.
Riderific also said this about Paulus Quiros in their Cycle Show roundup:
... there was only one stand where I loved every single bike - Paulus Quiros Design. Bespoke craftsmanship of the highest possible level and some of the most innovative and stylish designs on display. They went down a storm at the Bristol handmade show and I sincerely hope they get all the attention they deserve from the Cycle Show audience.
Road.cc wrote a Tech Roundup following the Cycle Show and wrote this about Paulus Quiros:
We first met bike builders Paulus Quiros at Bespoked, Bristol earlier in the year but Mr Paulus and Mr Quiros don't appear to be limiting their ambition to the world of exotic custom frame makers; the stand is not as large as Condor's but it appears to have squeezed into it lots of exquisite little details. Plenty of them were on display in a new dropped-top-tube frame showing off the swooping lines that are shaping up to be a PQ trademark...

Schwipe used to be our number 1 selling brand. I travelled to Melbs every 6 months to see the ranges, and to party with Tim and Misha. We became really good friends (and still are) and through them I met so many good Aussie brands and shops, it was like a mega melting pot party of goodness… Alex from Alpha 60, FAT stores, Elke Kramer, Somebuddy Loves You Shop, PAM, Dorbry Den, Joe from Monster Children's gallery and mag, Jonny Gold Coast from VICE etc etc... It was a young, friendly and vibrant time in fashion and streetwear in Aussie.
When Schwipe died it was sad, but they did it in such a rad way with the final collection "BOOZE DEBT DIE", I remember customers being really bummed that they couldn't get it anymore. So when Tim hit me up too see if we wanted to be the only store in the world to stock them and I said hells yes! Get it while ya can!

Added Viewport, HorizontalScrollbar, and VerticalScrollbar tonight. Combine these with the existing HBox, VBox, and Border and you have a reasonable approximation of a generic scrolled area widget. I'll probably do an actual ScrolledArea later this week, since rendering things as a collection like that is slower and not as pretty as it could be. However, I think the concept is proven. Screenshots for you, today:

Looks a little more sophisticated than emacs widgets, that's for sure.

James wakes up in one of the places he never thought he would be. And his friends are with him. The only difference is that they are not hooked into an electric line and they are not getting electrocuted every once in a while. Only one thing can get him out, solving a riddle. But then there appears more cases of people being tied up like that, and James is the only one who survives. The police know they are dealing with a serial killer and as James and his friends go after the guy, things get even more complicated. Total-30,000 words

As I am sure most of you have noticed, 410 seems to be immune from the run on ammo currently. What hi-cap "tactical firearms" are available in .410? I know there is a Saiga .410, but they are selling for crazy prices. Is there anything else out there? Is .410 practical for self defense even with slugs?
Tackycool & .410 somehow sound like a oxymoron. But regardless of all that, Mossberb makes a couple. http://www.mossberg.com/shotgun-gauge/410 rc
I'm not aware of any high cap .410 bore offerings, but for home defense, the 6+1 configuration of the Mossberg 500 should do. And there are starting to be some very good hybrid home defense offerings in .410.
Out of a full size shotgun, 410 slug or buckshot is nothing to sneeze at for defense. The slug has muzzle energy around .357 mag levels. The winchester buckshot is either 3 or 5 pellets of 000 buck at 1300 or 1100 fps, respectively. It's no 12 gauge but i certainly wouldn't feel undergunned with the 410 and the above loads.
The only mall ninja type thing.. ........I own that is all "tackycooled" ( to borrow rc's wording ) is a Saiga .410 in a kushnapup stock. Just got done putting everything together today. It's going to be the "red-headed stepchild" of everything I own. Everything else has standard hunting style stocks.
Amen to the Taurus Judge. Of any sidearm in my collection I would love to wear OWB, this is it. Ya just gotta get used to the kick. Awesome.
Lex I had a Guy tell me the The Judge is a Novelty gun...Reely ,not If You confronted with one in someones home walking down the hallway to their bedroom to do some evil ,That would be the LAST hallway they walked down a amazing firearm thats on My Bucket list to own...
You might seek out a used .410 upper. Maker was Sarif Arms or some such? 2.5" shells only. Not tactical, but Winchester offered a lever action repeater, the 9410. Then there's the Circuit Judge, wasn't there a Rem 1100 offered? That would be a nice one... Love me some .410s...
Not that numbers tell the whole story, but here are Wiley Clapp's results for various .410 loads out of the Governor (at 5 yards): Federal 2 1/2" 000 (4) Buckshot: 1,198 fps, 930 ft/lbs. Remington 2 1/2" 000 (4) Buckshot: 1,212 fps, 952 ft/lbs. Winchester 2 1/2" Defense Discs (3) BB shot (12): 788 fps, 408 ft/lbs. As someone else said, nothing to sneeze at... .
You might want to do some more research before going all ga-ga over this gun. To prevent carjackings at a distance of 1-2 feet? Sure, it's great for that, as well as snake control, but that's about it, at least when loaded with .410 shells. Load it with .45 Colt, it's better for defense, but then it's a much bigger gun than it needs to be. To use your example, let's put your 4 year old child in the arms of the badguy. Would you still want a Judge loaded with shotshells? www.boxotruth.com would be a good place to start your research.
You just need to shoot a .410 more and get practice. I use a .410 for squirrel, rabbit, quail, and dove. Doves are about the only thing that gives me trouble trying to get my limit. Shooting my daily limit of the others is easy with a .410
I was hitting the squirrels but they would fall out of the tree and I would have to chase them. Kinda embarrassing. I usually just use a 12 guage now. Cheaper ,more common ammo and much deadlier.
A slug works really good on yotes. Good solid broadside hit, yelp, jumped died. Cant get any deader than that. I sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one.
Does the akdal come in .410? Personally, unless you're getting it for a youth or a small person, I think the .410 doesn't benefit much from a magazine tube. In fact, if you're using what I would use (3" shells), you would actually get less capacity than 2.75" shells in the same size tube. So unless you're using a judge or a saiga, I don't really see the point of it.
Second on the Saiga. 410 is one of my favorite rounds and I'd love to own a semiauto. I have to echo 12bravo20's statement. I hunt only small game, and if there is enough game to shoot at on a given day I can usually keep up with my hunting buddy's O/U 12 gauge with my SxS 410. It is trickier to make a good hit but it's possible with practice. My best advice is to treat the .410 as if you're going after your target with a .22. Then when you switch over to 12 gauge it'll feel like cheating. I would recommend the Circuit Judge carbine as the concept (to me) is pretty novel. Five rounds of back-to-back 4-5 pellet buckshot with all of the pros of a DA revolver. Plus they're making a tactical version with a nifty stock that holds 5 extra rounds of ammo. I'm hesitant to recommend it as a potential "hard times" weapon though after experiencing a pin breakage (the one that goes through the center of the hammer) following only three boxes of Winchester ammunition through my brand new Taurus Judge PD. It's not like you can just replace the pin either as it is attached to the left receiver half. I traded it back in plus cash for a quality 1911 and haven't looked back. I don't know if Rossi's Circuit Judge suffers from the same quality control issues that Taurus revolvers seem to. I've handled a couple of Governors. The pin that goes through the hammer on S&W's 410/45LC appears to be much beefier and the overall quality is leaps and bounds above the Judge. You get what you pay for.

I've completed a great many books, and the return is abysmal for the work I've put in. It's no fault of my publisher. Jude goes the extra mile to make sure we get exposure and everything good, but Amazon seems to have lost it's compulsion to push books. I guess the existence of other box stores who ship for free and promise quick delivery is giving them a run for their money and causing them to focus elsewhere. In the meantime, some of us have stalled on writing.
I'm trying to finish a book right now, but I got to the point where the heroine is in the throes of labor and she's too uncomfortable to speak to me. I'm a "pantser" who listens to my chracters, so without her voice to guide me, I'm stuck in labor. *lol*
Since I don't have much prepared to share, please excuse me if I use a recycled blog about tweeting. I just had my taxes done and discovered I've spent 3 times what I earned. I'm looking for less expensive ways to promote myself. Care to help? I'm discussing a topic that seems to be very political these days.
Twitter seems to be the biggest enigma of the promotion options. If you read the tweets that are "trending"daily, unless you're a celebrity who is doing nothing worth noting, ask yourself why you bother. Kim Kardashian shared a picture of her newborn hooking fingers with his older sister, North; Kate Mansi, An actress on the soap, Days of Our Lives, is leaving the show, Anne Hathaway shared a picture of her in a bikini while pregnant with her first child. Who cares? I'd much rather read about me and my books selling.
Then there are articles about sites like Triberr that make you question whether or not you time is being wisely spent by sharing posts of tribemates who don't bother to share your's If they do share, and you aren't "trending," does anyone read the tweet? Can we compete with Mark Zuckerberg's announcement for his person challenges?
For the sake or educating those who have no idea what I'm talking about...Posts at triberr are "blog feeds." You set up your blogs to feed to Triberr daily with the hope that your fellow tribemates will mark them as shared so they will be tweeted widely. For those who don't aren't familiar with Triberr, it's a tweeting site where you join 'tribes' that fit your needs. For example, I belong to Historical Fiction, Fiction, Romance, and a few others, but then I read that there are folks who decide whether or not your blog posts fit their "agenda." Some don't want to be associated with Porn, and of course non-writers care nothing for author's blogs. That's why you need to pick your tribes carefully.
I recently discovered that if you hover your mouse across a poster's picture, stats appear, and you can see whether that person is sharing your posts or not. Today, I decided, if you aren't sharing mine, I'm not sharing yours. Sadly, I hid more than I shared. Why do I feel guilty?
For author's, finding inexpensive promotional sites is really important. Those reviews that used to be easy to come by have become elusive and hard to acquire. One of the reasons...most reviewers volunteer their time in exchange for free reads, and there are far more authors out there than ever before. Choices are staggering, and unless you write a blurb that reaches out and nabs attention, your book is going to sit forever. While I'd like to think my blurbs are real grabbers...they obviously aren't.
Speaking of reviews: Now authors have to contend with what most refer to as "trolls." These are people who leave snarky reviews that are usually a dead giveaway that they haven't even read your book. The only logical explanation is that there are some authors trying to sabotage their competition, but this seems a little extreme. Amazon is trying to remedy the problem, but is disallowing authors to review others authors the solution? I may write books, but I also read them. So far, I haven't had my reviews removed, but I'm aware of fellow authors who have...and they aren't happy. Note: Recently, I reported a review that simply said my book didn't deserve a review. That sort of comment is neither helpful or wanted. Of course it followed two great reviews, but I just wonder why I can't seem to even give a book away. I just had a contest on FB and got only two entires.
Bottom line...whether we tweet, blog, or review, are we doing enough or are we spinning our wheels. I'm always open to new ideas, so if anyone wants to share them here, please do.
Note from Ginger: Currently, I've turned over both of my blogs to others, let my website go, discarded Triberr because I get tired of being the person who tweets everyone's post but gets very little in return for my efforts. Now I'm looking for things that cost next to nothing. I guess handing out pens, flashlights, and notepads just doesn't impress folks.
