Self-assembled Monolayer Based Biosensors for Healthcare
Published on
There is increased demand both in developed and the developing countries for ready availability of biosensors [1-5]. In this context, self-assembled monolayer (Scheme I) based biosensors have recently attracted much interest due to their applications in health care, environmemtal, pharmaceuticals and food industry etc. This has been attributed to the use of ultra-thin layers for immobilization of desired sensing elements that may result in faster and stable biosesning devices. Biosensor has three major components: (i) a bio-recognition element such as DNA, enzyme, antibody etc. for recognition of an anlyte, (ii) a matrix such as a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), Langmuir-Blodgett film, thick polymer film, hydrogel and nanomaterials etc. for the immobilization of a biomolecule and (iii) a transducer unit for conversion and amplification of the biochemical reaction product into a recognizable. For fabrication of biosensors [1], appropriate immobilization of signal biomolecules on a transducer surface is presently a major area of concern. The thrust is, however, shifting towards the utilization of SAMs as matrices for proper and oriented immobilization of biomolecules. Using a SAM to functionalize noble metal surfaces provides a simple route to functionalize electrode surfaces by organic molecules (both aliphatic and aromatic) containing free anchor groups such as thiols, disulphides, amines,silanes, or acids for the immobilization of biomolecules. Among the various biochemical analytes such as glucose, galactose, uric acid, urea etc in biological samples to monitor human health, estimation of cholesterol has acquired the maximum attention since it is an indicator of abnormality in lipid metabolism and its abnormal level is associated with coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, anemia and wasting syndromes etc [2]. I will focus on some of the recent developments that have occurred in our laboratories in the area of self-assembled monolayers based biosensors for cholesterol sensing [3-5].

He Is What He Is: The Merle Haggard Interview
The legendary "poet of the common man" talks to PopMatters about the state of country music today, his friendship with Johnny Cash and why he hasn't liked a president since Ronald Reagan.
Today he's considered a country legend, but that doesn't mean Merle Haggard's life has been easy. Dubbed "the poet of the common man", Haggard's early years were a rough n' tumble combination of odd jobs and small crimes, which eventually led to prison stays and frequent visits to juvenile detention centers. Born in 1937 to a staunchly religious mother, Haggard experienced early trauma when his father passed away, causing him to act out as a teenager, robbing stores and frequently running away from the high-security boarding schools where he'd been sent. Although Haggard experienced a number of run-ins with the law, he still perused a musical education, which meant modeling a style from musicians of the day (Bob Wills, Hank Williams) and learning any instrument he could get his hands on. In fact, Haggard even witnessed Johnny Cash's historic performance in San Quentin Prison, never mind the fact that he stood among the audience at the time.
But once the 1960s rolled around, Merle Haggard was on the way to becoming a bona-fide country superstar. After exiting prison, Haggard performed manual labor by day and sang in local clubs by night, eventually leading to dozens of #1 hits that commented on his tough childhood and protested certain long-haired liberal types (Haggard was a well-known supporter of the Vietnam War). Today, songs like "Okie from Muskogee" and "Mama Tried" are considered country classics while Haggard has gone on to release over 30 studio albums, each with varying mixtures of jazz, blues and folk. Fresh off of releasing I Am What I Am, his first studio output since 2007, Haggard sounds more at ease with himself than ever. PopMatters sat down with Haggard to talk about the state of country music today, his friendship with Johnny Cash and why he hasn't liked a president since Ronald Reagan.
So I just listened to your new album, I Am What I Am. The title to me would indicate a new age of self-acceptance on your end. Would you say that's accurate?
Well, you know, the album stands for itself. It is what it is. I am what I am. And I do what I do. Here it is. The response to (the album) has really been tremendous. So I'm really glad to hear you like it also.
I'm mostly intrigued by the last track. The lyrics describe a man who has finally grown comfortable in his body and is accepting of the mistakes he's made.
Yeah, I might be a little bit more comfortable. I might have given in to the fact that you know; I have to be what I'll be. I can't really change it. I'm relaxed with myself. I'm comfortable with my own being.
And did your wife Theresa contribute?
Yeah, she works on stage with me. We've been together 24 years. And that's twice as long as I've ever been with any woman. So looks like it's gonna be a steady deal.
How was it working with her on this record?
You know music is a double-edged sword. It takes me away from her and sometimes that's not good. But it also brings us together in ways that nobody else would understand. Actually singing together, actually harmonizing together, that requires some duel fault that might not exist in other marriages.
Well I see you're set to play at the Stagecoach Festival pretty soon. How do you feel sharing a stage with the likes of say, Toby Keith and Sugarland? What do you think of that slick, overly produced country style that's so popular nowadays?
Well fortunately, they don't package a lot of us together. I've rubbed elbows with them from time to time at an awards show or something if I go. But it's a different world. It's an electronic world and a world of perfection, a world without much spirit. I think there's some sort of soul to it, but there's no chance of a mistake and no chance of hearing a breath, like you used to be able to hear Elvis breathe, you know? You just can't hear anyone breathe; they take those noises out! So what you have is a bunch of perfect perfection, which is so boring to me. Songs without any melodies. Songs with one note being held out and a hundred chords played underneath it that don't mean anything. It's just songs without any message. What's the mentality? What are they talking about? There's no originality anymore. Everything is a copy of something else. I just wish we could hear somebody come down the pipe that sounded like they had something original. [For example], they could sing without a band. They could sit up there with a guitar and entertain the millions. Just them and their guitar. And the sad part about it is, the program directors in the world wouldn't allow that!
I couldn't agree more, actually. When I listen to country music, it's almost exclusively stuff like Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline and Hank Williams. Come to think of it, I've always thought that country music shares a lot in common with soul music. In the '60s, soul was a real form of pop music. There was a big band sound with an audible pop purpose. And today, soul has morphed in to what we now know as R&B.
I'm with you. I love soul music, I love rhythm and blues, I love rock 'n' roll, I love the old rock and roll, the old blues, the 1940s, '50s and '60s. All that stuff is historical music that I have referred to in my life many times.
Well I definitely think I heard some '60s jazz strains on the new album.
Well, that's where I started, was on the guitar. I wanted to study jazz and country music, and I studied rhythm and blues and rock 'n' roll and all of the obvious guitar-type music that was available. Everything from Django Reinhardt to George Benson. You know, I studied everything I could hear -- Grady Martin and Hank Owen and Luther Perkins and James Burton and Roy Nichols. People like that affected me and worked for me. I have a double reason for being here in this business. I'm trying to be a guitar player on one side of the track and a singer, entertainer and fiddle player on the other side of the track and a songwriter. And have some sort of business head about myself. There are many hats to wear there.
Would you say that your direct inclusion of jazz in your albums has come out a little later in your career as opposed to earlier?
I'm not sure I could nail that down for you. What's it sound like to you?
Well I do sense a stronger variety of musical genres as the albums go on.
I think you're right. What it is is, I had a long line of hits. We'll call it a hot 25 years. After that big hit period was over, I started to explore, because it didn't matter. I wasn't really trying to follow a commercial line of any kind. I went out in a lot of different directions and some of them weren't so good but some of them were. I just went and did what I wanted to do and kind of turned into myself, I guess.
Well it's great when you can achieve that sense of confidence in a musical career.
Well, Willie [Nelson] said one time, "You know, if you go ahead and be yourself and somebody likes you, then you don't have to change." If you're the real guy on stage, than you don't even have to change clothes (laughs). If you do what you want to do, you can dress up only in Levis. Once you're not pleased with yourself, but satisfied with what you are, then you can quit trying to be somebody else, I guess.
Well you do seem like someone with a lot of friends in the business, not to mention some you share a lot in common with. That said, I'm wondering what was it like to see Johnny Cash during his famous concert(s) in San Quentin. Was it particularly influential?
Cash was… I just liked him. We just liked each other and we liked each other's music. And our families were both from Middle America, his being from Arkansas and mine being from Oklahoma. And we had several different things that were similar in our lives. He once said to me, "You know Haggard, you're everything that people think I am." And one time I told him, I said, "You know, you did the dumbest thing I've ever heard you doin'." And he said, "What was that?" And I said, "When you hired that piano player!" I said, "Johnny Cash with a piano player makes no sense at all." I said, "What in the Hell do you need with a piano player?" And he took a long pause and looked at me and said to me, "Haggard, you're the only man in country music uglier than me."

New research, conducted by Forrester and commissioned by Accenture Interactive, shows that insurers are actively working to develop their digital capabilities but are far from achieving digital mastery. Across the three dimensions of digital transformation — organization, operational process, and technology — insurance carriers are making strides, but they are still struggling with traditional silos and a lack of integration and alignment.
To digitally transform means to put organizational, operational, and technological foundations in place that foster constant evolution and cross-functional collaboration. It is not a one-off investment or project. Here are some of the obstacles insurers face in making a successful transition:
Organizational silos: Insurers are in various stages of addressing the various facets of their digital strategy, but are still significantly impeded by their silos (technology, process, organization) from becoming integrated, efficient and customer-centric. But carriers are taking steps to address this challenge. In the coming year:
62% plan to establish new digital governance and transformation management
53% plan to assess the impact of digital as it relates to the customer experience
51% plan to transform their IT systems to make them more agile
49% plan to create digital-oriented collaboration or joint ventures with business partners
Who should "own" digital? There is no clear consensus on who should own and drive the digital vision and strategy. Currently, ownership is divided between the CEO (48%), the CIO (27%), the chief digital officer (8%) and other senior leaders (17%). Forrester argues that transformation is top-down, and there needs to be a credible customer-focused executive to lead the charge in establishing a strategy to embed digital capabilities across the enterprise.
Incomplete understanding of digital: Respondents listed their "organization" as the dimension of their business least ready to execute their digital strategy when compared with technology and operational processes. Insurers have room to continue to transform, as a minority of respondents "completely agree" that they have the technology (38%), operational processes (25%), and organization (30%) in place to execute their digital strategies effectively.
Measurement is lacking: The Forrester study reinforced the observed trend that metrics are a low priority for insurers, as "implementing the right digital metrics and measurement" came up as the least critical consideration to enabling a digital business among both personal and commercial-lines carriers.
In order to drive continued investment in digital transformation, digital decision-makers must measure and prove the value of their strategies. In the modern digital landscape, this means deviating from channel-siloed metrics to measure more complex cross-channel metrics over a series of interactions such as customer satisfaction, Net Promoter Score (NPS), and customer lifetime value (CLV).

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl Returns to U.S.
Arrived Friday at Army Medical Center in Texas to Begin Next Phase of Recovery
SAN ANTONIO—Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is recovering after returning to the U.S. and conducting himself with "good deportment" as doctors and psychologists tend to him at an Army medical center here, military officials said Friday.
He arrived in Texas from Germany around 1:40 a.m. local time and exchanged salutes with Maj. Gen. Joseph P. DiSalvo, the commanding general of U.S. Army South, which is at Fort Sam Houston.

Getting dressed for work is something that women's fashion magazines and websites tackle regularly, and with varying results. (Who thinks that putting a blazer over a crop top is going to fly as a good day-to-night option in most workplaces?) Because we spend most of our time thinking about a particular part of the fashion industry, though, we'd like to think that we can scope out good workwear with slightly more accurate results.
A lot of you sent in questions about selecting a solid work bag when we asked to hear about your fashion problems for Ask PurseBlog, so we thought it might be most expedient to tackle this issueen masse. Below, we've selected over two dozen bags that we think will fit in a lot of different work environments, beyond just your standard Prada Saffiano Totes and Louis Vuitton Neverfulls. Some are on the slightly more casual end, while others will pass muster in even the strictest of corporate headquarters, and we found good-looking options starting from just $240.
All of the bags will fit a small laptop (and if your laptop is bigger, many of the bags come in a larger size), and almost all can either be carried on your shoulder or include an optional shoulder strap. When it comes to a work bag, fashion means very little without the function to go with it.

Well, Bronze with stainless pins and screws can be done without any investment extra.
I only need to source bronze 3mm plate, and 8mm plate I think it is for Isofrane tangs. Draw the parts and cut them out. Bronze is easy to finish as well, so once Terry has a heap of buckles over there, I will turn my attention to Ti and Bronze plate.
I was thinking how I could do it with Stainless pins, but I would likely have to have Bronze pins, rollers supplied and make the rest. Stainless screws.
It would look odd I think, if I used SS pins and screws and roller with only Bronze sides and tang, then it would look ill thought out.
The only issue, is the cost of those pins, min order is high as they are bespoke and would there then be a market for more than 1 or 2 buckles. ?

The W3C has announced XProc, a new tool for managing XML-rich processes. As decribed in the specification XProc: An XML Pipeline Language, provides a standard framework for composing XML processes. XProc streamlines the automation, sequencing and management of complex computations involving XML by leveraging existing technologies widely adopted in the enterprise setting.
"XML is tremendously versatile," said Norman Walsh, Mark Logic, and one of the co-editors of the specification. "Just off the top of my head, I can name standard ways to store, validate, query, transform, include, label, and link XML. What we haven't had is any standard way to describe how to combine them to accomplish any particular task. That's what XProc provides."
XProc can be used, for example, to sequence the following set of operations: (1) given a news ticker feed (2) whenever a company is mentioned, use a Web service to contact a stock exchange then (3) insert current share prices into the feed and (4) insert background information about the company that has been extracted from a database. In addition, this enhanced feed could be presented in several ways to multiple users including (5) for print or (6) with an interactive form so that people can purchase shares online. In this scenario, XProc controls a number of processes that might be implemented using other standards such as XQuery, XSLT, XSLT-FO, XForms, and HTML.
Because XProc descriptions are in XML, people can use readily available XML tools to generate, transform, and validate them.
"Processing XML as XML is a hugely powerful design pattern, and XProc makes this easy and attractive," says Henry Thompson, also one of the co-editors of the specification. "XProc exemplifies what W3C does best: we looked at existing practice -- people have been using a number of similar-but-different XML-based languages -- and we produced a consensus standard, creating interoperability and critical mass."
XProc is supported by a test suite that covers all of the required and optional steps of the language as well as all the static and dynamic errors.

A Village Frock for Easter
This dress is intended for Dolly's Easter dress. I'm not sure how I managed to get it together with the house, but I did. I'm tickled with how it came out.
I've wanted to make a Village Frock since I saw Dana's (and this one!). However, it was already out of print by the time I had learned of them. Fast foward to last year, and a dear reader offered to send me a copy, from Spain no less! Thank you so much, Maria. :)
The fabric is from Tanya Whelan's Delilah line. I purchased it on sale last winter in hopes of making a dress for Dolly.
Here is a detail of the buttons. I used fabric scraps from Sister's Jump Rope Dress for the buttons. I found my covered button kit on etsy. I reduced the number of buttons to five, just because I like odd numbers. I also sewed the bottom of the opening closed for modesty issues.
I added topstitching along the yokes and gathered sleeves. It looks nice, and reinforces my hand stitching.
I also added a contrast hem for fun. I thought a little bit of blue peeking out would be fun. I made it similarly to the hem on my Portfolio dress.
Here's another picture of the final product. I'm happy it's done! Don't be intimidated by the gathered yoke and sleeves. This dress is essentially a fancy peasant dress.
I'm also working on a dress for Sister. I seem to be thinking in peasant dress shapes lately, and hers is loosely based on Leila and Ben's Sweet Dress, and my Banded Peasant Blouse Tutorial. Can't wait to show it off, and I'm crossing my fingers I finish it before Sunday! (Done! Check it out HERE.)
If you need a fun late minute Easter basket idea, you might want to try my Fabric Easter Basket Tutorial. Sadly, we probably won't be using ours this year, because they are buried in the storage unit.

That's beautiful, Chris. I love the gathered neck (yoke) and sleeves. I'm on a peasant dress kick too! I haven't made any yet but I swear on a stack that I JUST added about 6 patterns to my Etsy cart. Too funny. I can't wait to see Sis's dress too. Do you buy your fabric locally? We have a nice quilt shop that carries Amy Butler and some other nice ones but twice now, you've mentioned lines that I've never heard of. I purchase on Etsy sometimes too. Just curious. That fabric gorgeous & I love the buttons & hem.

Oh, I just LOVE it Chris! It turned out so beautiful. I am sure your daughter just adores it too. I love the blue under hem. What a fun idea. You are amazing. I hope you got your other one done :)

aww, what a lovely finished dress!!
I, like you, am late to the Village Frock following but am totally engrossed and am now on a mission to find a copy lol here's hoping that it won't take too long or my little lady might wind up with a doll dress instead ;-)

@MistyThere is a "free" (50 cent download) pattern that is very similar. Here's a link:

Somehow I didn't get the notification of your response!!
Fast forward to today, and I'm searching the net for a unicorn ahem I mean, searching for a seamstress selling dresses made from the unavailable village frock pattern or someone reselling an outgrown one etc... And this post appeared in the search results with your response to my comment. The Internet is a crazy place indeed lol
Thank you, for linking the Brooklyn frock pattern... I'm Downloading it, but on first appearance I'm hesitant. I don't love the differences and am not quite confident about attempting to freehand to adjust it more like the original- meanwhile I would love to purchase dresses for my youngest two girls made from the sugar city pattern- by any chance, do you know of any places I should look? I'm Searching for a smaller sized one year old, and a slightly larger sized four year old...

Cash-strapped Stockton announced this week a sale of some of its property. Sort of a municipal yard sale. The decision startled members of the Stockton Rod and Gun Club.
Cash-strapped Stockton announced this week a sale of some of its property. Sort of a municipal yard sale. The decision startled members of the Stockton Rod and Gun Club.
The club owns a clubhouse, perched over the river along Monte Diablo Avenue by Louis Park. But the city owns the land.
Why? Good question. The city owns a staggering 600 properties. In some cases, such as this one, the city doesn't know why it owns what it owns.
Selling the land could doom the Rod and Gun Club. Alarmed, members pleaded for clemency. The property was taken off the list at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
While the reason for the city's ownership is lost in time's tule fog, records make clear that in 1941, when the city leased the land to the club, the area, nowadays all city, was wild Delta, abounding in waterfowl.
The club "agrees to improve the properties for hunting purposes by constructing blinds thereon," says the original 1941 contract. That's "blinds" as in duck blinds.
Records also show the city sold half the land to the port. Years later, the city bought it back. I find this funny. The city bought that land twice, but still can't say why.
Possibly the city planned port development. Just a theory. If they don't know, I don't know.
I visited the club. It's an old-fashioned rustic hunting lodge, walled with pine, comprising a big ballroom, a small bar and several smaller rooms.
Mounted deer and prize fish specimens decorate the walls. So does a jackalope - a species that, according to some members, really exists in Vietnam.
"We still have duck blinds here," said club President Linda Black. "You go hide behind that bamboo, the ducks can't see you."
Black typifies the club's membership: unpretentious, friendly and funny, sometimes unprintably so.
"It's a lot of working class, down-to-earth people," Black said. "We're not out to impress anybody. We're just out to meet and greet and be one big family."
Black introduced me to a blind woman sitting at the bar. "She went blind after she joined us," Black said. She turned to the woman. "I told you not to drink that cheap stuff."
A member named Hirsch hates the Roger Miller song "King of the Road." Whenever he shows up, members buy $5 worth of the song on the juke box.
"It's kind of like 'Cheers,'" said bartender Teresa Schwager. "Everybody knows everybody."
"Though nobody likes each other," chimed in Dominick Dicce, down the bar.
The club has around 400 family memberships. It costs $200 to join; annual dues are $100. A steal, said retired mechanic Chuck Lawrence, who uses the club's boat ramp.
"This is a safe place for us to fish," said Lawrence. "I can leave the boat in the water here for three days. You don't pay to launch. It's just a good fishing deal."
The fishing pier, fishing derbies, crab feeds, taco Tuesdays, pool and dart tournaments, horseshoes and other goings-on are good for kids, too, members say.
"I like to say this is your grandfather's lodge," said Vice President Dennis Morgan. "Because we really haven't changed much since 1941."
Well, some things have. Archery is no longer conducted in the ballroom. The rifle range is kaput. Fishing remains big. But as Stockton's growth advanced across the countryside and absorbed the club, the lodge became more of a social club.
"It's a comfortable place to come," said Bill Watson.
Jamie Cole: "If you don't have a place to go at Christmas time, you can come here. Dennis will open up and you can have potluck. It's an extended family."
The club helps stranded boaters. They let the Fire Department's water rescue team use the launch. They offer free space to various groups.
It also pays a portion of its proceeds to the city: $12,000 last year, according to one club officer. Modest as this amount may be, it still makes the club a performing asset in a city known for money holes.
The club is full of good people and seems like a good community citizen. Did I mention funny? I asked Rex Whorton, 82, what he was drinking.
"I drink whisky and water with no ice," Whorton snapped. "The reason is I have two nephews, both preachers, who tell me where I'm going there's no ice."
The bar burst into laughter. "There probably ain't going to be no Early Times, either," he added. "But I can't give both of 'em up the same day."

You are about to make some changes in your life (again). Changing jobs, changing residence, and if that doesn't work, then changing continents. As for changing marital status, unless she falls right in your laps, you're not getting any.
Nothing stays the same. Hard times pass and never persist, just notice when the good times arrive, and make good use of them, and thank God for both the bad and good times.
And remember: إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرً (alInshirah:6) and وَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكَُمْ (alBaqarah:216)
Patience is a virtue. Sometimes you don't wait long enough. Don't let time scare you. Wait as long as you can before you settle --but not too long. Sometimes concessions are worth it, but know how to live with it.
Just keep on working hard, know when to rest, and know when to quit --but don't make it easy. And hey, keep on trying.

Julian Assange says Manning verdict sets 'serious new precedent' for convicting whistleblowers
It's reported that Bradley Manning's mountain of leaked data ended up being published by WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange sees the young soldier as a hero who's been hung out to dry by the US government. Mr Assange is still holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
TONY EASTLEY: It's reported that Bradley Manning's mountain of leaked intelligence data ended up being published by WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange sees the young soldier as a hero who's been hung up to dry by the US government.
Mr Assange is still holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London as he avoids questioning over sexual assault allegations in Sweden.
Julian Assange, good morning. No doubt you've been watching the Manning case closely and you've learnt of the outcome so far. What's your reaction?
JULIAN ASSANGE: This is the first time that a whistleblower in the United States has been convicted for espionage for communicating with the press. That's a serious new precedent and that's part of Obama's war on whistleblowers, part of Obama's war on journalism in fact.
Barack Obama has proceeded with more prosecutions against whistleblowers for espionage than all previous presidents combined, going all the way back to 1917. In fact he's done double.
TONY EASTLEY: Is this what you expected when you distributed the leaked material? After all Bradley Manning gave the mountain of leaked data to WikiLeaks.
JULIAN ASSANGE: Well we've never said who our sources are. We have a range of sources. But in this case the prosecution alleges and Bradley Manning accepts that he has contributed a variety of material.
This is an example of national security extremism. There's no other word for it. It is a violation of the rule of the law. No-one looking on this feels that the United States through its actions here comes away looking like there's been a just outcome. The only just outcome in this case was an acquittal because of the types of charges levied against Bradley Manning.
But we know what this is about. We know what this is about. This an embarrassed superpower, and this embarrassed superpower, whose criminal actions that have led to the murders of thousands of people has been exposed and it is after an insider and an outsider - insiders to terrorise everyone inside the government from following suit and an outsider to terrorise any other journalist or publication that tries to follow us.
TONY EASTLEY: Julian Assange, does this Manning case have relevance for you if you ever end up in the USA for instance?
JULIAN ASSANGE: It certainly does have relevance to me. It has relevance to Edward Snowden and so on. That's the idea of course, that it does have relevance to act as some kind of terrible deterrent.
TONY EASTLEY: Julian Assange, from a personal point of view, can I ask you - this young man is likely to spend decades behind bars; are you comfortable with WikiLeaks' role and indeed your own role in this case?
JULIAN ASSANGE: That's one of the pleasing things that came out in this court case. There is, was no evidence presented that WikiLeaks had failed in its duties in any way whatsoever - no internal material from us, none of our reporters going over to the other side or anything like that.
TONY EASTLEY: But how do you feel about this young man likely, is likely to spend decades behind bars? How do you feel about that personally?
JULIAN ASSANGE: Well the situation is just disgusting. I am disgusted by the conduct of the Barack Obama administration. Personally in relation to Bradley, well, he's someone I have a lot of sympathy for. He's been in solitary confinement. He was treated in a very adverse manner. The UN Special Rapporteur for torture made a formal finding against the United States.
I've been in conditions which are not nearly as severe but equal duration of time, been in solitary confinement. I understand some of what he is going through.
TONY EASTLEY: Is it damaging for the future of WikiLeaks, the outcome of the Manning case?
JULIAN ASSANGE: No I don't think that's true. We did win an important victory today. Coombs, Bradley Manning's lawyer, put it this way; that we've won the battle now it's time to win the war. And that was knocking out the death penalty offence against Bradley Manning.
We've seen Edward Snowden step forward. Mr Snowden has made direct reference to Bradley Manning, understanding his situation.
So I think these sorts of cases, they build better whistleblowers - they build people who understand the risks, are willing to take them, but do it more strategically.
TONY EASTLEY: The WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange speaking there by telephone from the Ecuadorian embassy.

Amelia Mary Earhart ( /ˈɛərhɑrt/ air-hart; born July 24, 1897; missing July 2, 1937, declared legally dead January 5, 1939) was a noted American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first woman to receive the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for becoming the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. Earhart joined the faculty of the world-famous Purdue University aviation department in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and help inspire others with her love for aviation. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party, and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment.
During an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937 in a Purdue-funded Lockheed Model 10 Electra, Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Fascination with her life, career and disappearance continues to this day.
Amelia Mary Earhart, daughter of Samuel "Edwin" Stanton Earhart (March 28, 1867) and Amelia "Amy" Otis Earhart (1869–1962), was born in Atchison, Kansas, in the home of her maternal grandfather, Alfred Gideon Otis (1827–1912), a former federal judge, president of the Atchison Savings Bank and a leading citizen in Atchison. This was the second child in the marriage as an infant was stillborn in August 1896. Alfred Otis had not initially favored the marriage and was not satisfied with Edwin's progress as a lawyer.

Surf, Sea, Sun & Fun! Article by YHA NZ.
YHA NZ describes Surfaris Surf Tour as 'A truly unforgettable experience that comes highly recommended'
1 / 3
Before this weekend I was harbouring a fear - a secret and irrational fear that the sea is a brooding menace, lying in wait to swallow me down into Davy Jones' Locker for all eternity. I also have the grace and poise of a chicken on rollerskates so the thought of embarking on a two day surf tour left me feeling slightly uneasy.
There are four of us, all beginners and we are picked up from central Whangarei on Friday afternoon by Simon Clowes, our guide for the weekend and the owner of Surfaris, a Northland surf school that offer everything from day lessons to bespoke week-long tours.
As we wind up through Northland I forget my reservations and start asking questions. Surfaris operate on the adage 'The best surfer in the world is the one having the most fun.' Accredited by Surfing NZ and based on the Tutukaka coast they also pick up from Whangarei and the Bay of Islands.
Such is the rich diversity of surf breaks in Northland they can sniff out suitable surf for all ability ranges on any given day, using years of local knowledge to avoid the overcrowded breaks.
We arrive at Ahipara YHA, set up camp and chill out on the beach with fish and chips, say goodbye to the day with a gorgeous Northland sunset and hit the hay. The next day it's a fresh and sunny morning, we grab breakfast and head off to 90 mile beach for our first lesson.
On land we learn surf theory before being released into the waves. Where surfing definitely does not seem as easy to put into practice as it is to explain.
I spend a few brief seconds on my feet, more on my hands and knees, though the vast majority of the time I am face planting into the surf like a puppy chasing a stick.
Then it's time for a drive up the beach to Te Paki Stream for sandboarding and lunch, followed by lesson number two at Rawera, a beautiful and remote white sand beach on the East Coast of the Auopouri Peninsula.
We recap the morning lesson and are helped out with a few hints and tips here and there. Before you know it I am on my feet at last and flying down the wave, wobbling and weaving all over but I've done it!
It's an amazing feeling, and all four of us are buoyed up and buzzing with the feeling of accomplishment as we head back down to Ahipara YHA, stopping off at the Kauri Kingdom on the way.
Over dinner and games I learn more about the history of Surfaris - why start a surf company? Originally from Cornwall in the UK, Simon surfed three continents before deciding on NZ as his favourite country.
With three coasts you are never more than 40km from a beach in Northland; it's heaven for water babies. After a successful career in sales and marketing he finally gave in to the call of the surf and decided to put his 20 years of experience to use.
All guides hold an International Surf Coach Certificate, and the emphasis of the company is on education, participation and fun. Surfaris commitment to sustainability is heartening, and the guides take steps at all times to ensure we take nothing but experience from the environment.
Day two and we're back on 90 Mile Beach, all managing to surf and having a great time, there is now a sense of camaraderie within the group, lots of encouragement and laughter.
So much so that I realise I've forgotten all about Davy Jones and his locker. After lunch we stop at Mangonui for a well deserved ice-cream before heading out to the wide and stunning expanse of Taupo Bay for lesson two.
Going South we stop off at Ake Ake Vineyard near Keri Keri for a taste of their sumptuous Chambourcin Syrah before returning to Whangarei. It's unbelievable that the weekend is over already.
Not only have I been reminded once more of the beauty and diversity of Northland I've had an amazing time learning to surf with some brilliant people. A truly unforgettable experience that comes highly recommended.

Bence Bogár, a designer who publishes work to a majority of websites and resources, has revealed some Nokia Windows Phone concepts on Twitter. Bogár, who works at Egy Stúdió in Hungary, states the device in the images is a Nokia Windows Phone sporting a quad-core processor and HD display. While they may well be mere concepts and ideas as to what Nokia could work with in the future, they do appear to be marmite within Windows Phone Central HQ - it's torn the team between absolute detestation to appreciation.
A conspicuous feature to this unique Nokia design is what appears to be a fingerprint scanner on top, plus the absent of the usual 3.5mm headphone jack port. Not much else is visible on the concept. No buttons or rockers can be seen on the left side of the device, though we find it hard to believe all would be present on the single side. We've also compared the look to a 1960s radio, and while it may come across as elegant and modern, we can't help but imagine the amount of dirt that could accumulate in the side grill(s).
With the recent 'Phi' patent observations, Nokia is clearly sticking to the award winning polycarbonate single body design, which is present on both the Lumia 800 and 900 Windows Phones. To take up these concepts, it would be a sizeable leap from what the manufacturer has released on the platform thus far. Though Windows Phone 8 is the next step in Microsoft's mobile path, we can't see such a design being produced in Nokia factories.
So what do you make of these Nokia Windows Phone concepts? Be sure to sound off in the comments.

Animated movies made by computer
Excerpt from the May 2, 1964, issue of Science News Letter
A 17-minute animated movie has been produced, using a cathode ray tube and a movie camera, both controlled automatically by an electronic computer…. The film took two months of research and programming, four hours of computer time, and 2,000 hours of film processing, [at] a cost of about $600 per minute…. The picture is formed on a grid … 184 spots long by 252 spots high. Each spot can be any of several degrees of brightness…. The computer might be told to draw certain objects. Then it would be told the laws controlling their behavior, and from these it would illustrate the objects' actions…. The use of color might be possible, though no research is being done in that area.

|Top Four Late Night Shows Filmed in New York City
Categories: Comedy Shows
Posted: April 23, 2012
by Ted Greenberg
Last week I ranked my favorite TV comedies taped in New York City. In continuing my love letter to New York City and its creativity, this week I take a look at the top four late night/talk shows, one of which I wrote for.
4. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. The longest running show in Comedy Central, The Daily Show improved exponentially when Jon Stewart took over in 1999. The fake news succeeds on many levels, revealing the inconsistencies and let's face it stupidity from politicians on both sides of the aisle. In an election year, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is must see TV.
3. The Colbert Report. Colbert gets our two thumbs up. Politics never seemed so inane, yet hilarious. Thank goodness the world has Stephen Colbert to save it from ignorance. Colbert's incisive attacks on idiocy are a godsend and a much needed voice in today's crazed world. And it's refreshing when being smart and being funny go hand in hand.
2. Late Night with David Letterman. I had the great privilege to write for this show in its early days, and there is nothing like Letterman for pure, absurdist humor. And, his top 10 list is the thing of legend. Everyone has tried to copy it, but nothing compares to the original. Still going strong after 30 years.
1. Saturday Night Live. For longevity alone, Saturday Night Live sets an impressive standard — 37 seasons and counting. It's hard to imagine much of mainstream American comedy on film and TV without SNL. Steve Martin, Dan Akroyd, Gilda Radner, Tina Fey, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Will Ferrell, Bill Murray, Jimmy Fallon, Kristen Wiig and the list goes on and on. Check out this list of the top SNL skits of all time. Prepare to laugh hard.

It's been a long and often bumpy road to get to this point, but Valley Streamers have finally gotten some closure on the flood zone issue with the release of revised maps three weeks ago by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
But leaders in the fight say there is still more work to be done.
It was Sept. 11, 2009, when new flood maps went into effect in Nassau County, adding about 2,500 homes in Valley Stream to the high-risk flood zone. Any homeowner with a federally-backed mortgage was required to purchase flood insurance, with rates for some exceeding $2,000 per year.
Then in May of 2010, a small group of outraged Gibson residents began meeting at the local train station. The group got bigger, their voices got louder and before long, federal officials began to take notice.
FEMA held a meeting at Valley Stream Village Hall that August, and so many people showed up that there was not enough room for everyone. Another meeting was held in October in Central High School's auditorium.
Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy and Sen. Charles Schumer both came to Valley Stream. Federal legislation started and stalled in 2011, then finally passed in 2012, directing FEMA to redraw Nassau County's maps using local, relevant information.
It all finally came to fruition on Jan. 2, when FEMA officials presented those new maps at Village Hall, which are set to remove nearly 1,600 of those 2,500 homes from the flood zone.
More work to be done
Two leaders that emerged in the fight against the flood maps were Carol Crupi and Joseph Margolin. The pair ran for the village Board of Trustees in March 2011 — Margolin for mayor and Crupi for a trustee seat. Their campaign centered on the flood maps as well as other quality of life issues.
Although their bids were unsuccessful, they then launched the Valley Stream Community Association as a new civic group, and the first few meetings have centered on the flood maps and tax relief for homeowners living in the high-risk zone. The next meeting is expected to focus on the newly-released maps.

Third of seven-part series
LOWELL -- Bracha Horovitz is an exception, in a good way. While smaller textile companies are being bought out, the Israeli immigrant fends off large corporations and continues to grow the Lowell company.
"We've made breakthroughs, and we thrive every day to be top notch," said Horovitz, president and CEO of Federal Fabrics-Fibers, Inc. "We want to be the best.
"We have that driven, entrepreneurial spirit of America," she added.
And recognition comes with determination and progress.
Horovitz, 60, was recently nominated for The Immigrant Learning Center's 2013 Immigrant Entrepreneur Awards. The 26 nominees who founded businesses in Massachusetts "represent outstanding business leaders from across the Commonwealth," and seven of the 26 are from Lowell.
Before coming to America in 1979, Horovitz served in the Israeli Army in the logistics and strategic planning office.
"My military and textile engineering background in Israel was the perfect fit," Horovitz said. "We wanted to make a difference in the military and make a breakthrough in technology, and we've made that impact."
The company, which employs 45 workers, produces air beams and full-blown, self-inflatable rescue shelters that are used by the military in the Middle East. A box of fabric inflates to a 35-foot by 36-foot rescue shelter in a few minutes after pushing the air compressor button.
The medical shelter is very important for emergency situations, according to Horovitz.
"And the difference is being made -- we've heard positive feedback from actual soldiers," Horovitz said. "We can actually save lives with this."
Mercy Ships, a hospital ship that provides free health care for developing nations, purchased shelters from Federal Fabrics-Fibers. The company applauded the shelters in a letter to Horovitz.
"Everyone continues to be amazed how easy it is to put the tents into action. They are durable and have held up well in the hot African sun ... Please know we are elated to have found you and your wonderful approach to portable tents."
But Horovitz said she could not have done this alone.
"I love the people here, and they are the key," she said. "The team is why we are here today."

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Palmier
01.28.10 by Jackie
If you're planning on having a romantic meal on Valentine's Day, check out these adorable heart-shaped puff pastry appetizers. They're called palmiers. I've made a different version before with a traditional basil pesto, but today I decided to make them with sun-dried tomato pesto. Not only does it taste great, but the red color makes these little treats perfect for Valentine's Day.
Even though palmiers look really fancy, they are ultra simple to make. If you're in a real hurry, you can even use store-bought pesto. Don't worry, I won't tell.

Purple Cow Communications
We are a small start up company that bridges the communications gap between the hearing and non hearing worlds. We provide interpreting services to businesses as well as partnering with families of severly Autistic children who have been unable to communicate in the past.
We are able to provide various means of communication through integrated multi sensory environments, sign language and rapid prompting methods.
Our goal is to facilitate communication and bridge the gaps for these groups at a price point that allows access across all economic states. Allowing businesses to extend their reach into the deaf community through interpreter services and families to communicate and interact with their children in safe and productive way without breaking the bank to do so... Everyone deserves that opportunity!
The name Purple Cow Communications was inspired by Seth Godin's book, The Purple Cow. The premise is simple... Imagine driving down the interstate and seeing a field of cows, chances are you wouldn't run to tell the world about it. Now imagine driving down the interstate and seeing the same field of cows, but right smack in the middle is a big purple cow... Chances are you would run and tell everyone! Why? Because a purple cow is indeed remarkable!
Our goal is to provide remarkable products and services for remarkable folks... We need you to help us get there!
Business target is broad based as the ADA requires all businesses to provide reasonable accomodation unless they can prove undue burden; Families of Autistic children vary widely in both demographics and financial status.
As such, we are seeking clean, versitile design that creates interest at first glance, differentiating us at first glance from the pack.
We are seeking sustainable corporate brand that we are able to leverage for business cards, letterhead and various reports and forms as necessary.
We want to convey trust, professionalism, integrity and collaboration.

April 8, 2013
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- After a season that saw her lead a young and injury-battered Lady Vol basketball team to an unexpected SEC regular-season title and to a berth in the NCAA Elite Eight, Tennessee's Holly Warlick was named the Spalding Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year in New Orleans on Monday night.
Warlick, a former Lady Vol point guard and an assistant for 27 seasons under Pat Summitt at UT, was recognized at the site of the 2013 NCAA Women's Final Four. The honor was announced during the Women's Basketball Coaches Association Awards Show at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center's New Orleans Theatre.
After her first squad was predicted to finish as low as fifth in the SEC standings and was picked 20th in the Associated Press preseason national poll, Warlick guided the Lady Vols to a 27-8 overall record and 14-2 conference mark in her first year as head coach. She became the seventh person to receive the Maggie Dixon Award. Previous winners include Jennifer Hoover (High Point) in 2012, former Lady Vol assistant Stephanie Glance (Illinois State) in 2011, Teresa Weatherspoon (La. Tech) in 2010, Kelly Packard (Ball State) in 2009, Jeff Walz (Louisville) in 2008 and Krista Kilburn-Steveskey (Hofstra) in 2007.
The Spalding Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year award is given in honor of the late Maggie Dixon, former Army head coach, whose success during her inaugural year at the Army helm was remarkable. The Black Knights won the Patriot League title in 2006 and Dixon was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year after leading Army to the NCAA Tournament for the first time at the NCAA Division I level. Coach Dixon passed away on April 6, 2006, just a few weeks following her team's appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Dixon's death especially touched the Lady Vol program, as Tennessee had opened NCAA play in 2006 by facing Army in a first-round game in Norfolk, Va., on March 19. The 102-54 defeat at the hands of UT turned out to be the final game Dixon coached.
The wish of the WBCA is that the spirit of Maggie Dixon will live through this award and its recipients who, by their selection, have demonstrated both the on-court successes as well as the enrichment to the lives of those around them.
Any WBCA member NCAA Division I head coach who is in their rookie season is eligible for this award. A rookie coach is defined as a first year head coach in NCAA Division I women's basketball.
Warlick previously was announced as the SEC Coach of the Year by both the league's coaches and Associated Press. She returned no starters from last year's SEC runner-up and NCAA Elite 8 squad and had three starters this season who missed a combined total of 46 games.
The first-year UT skipper also had to walk in the daunting footprints left by her friend, colleague and college coach, Summitt, who is the NCAA's all-time winningest basketball coach at 1,098-208 with eight NCAA championships and 32 SEC titles to her credit. In facing the challenge of replacing her ailing mentor, as well as dealing with the breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment of her sister, Marion, last fall, Warlick displayed uncommon grace and poise throughout.
Those traits, when exhibited and passed on to a team, no doubt enabled Tennessee to buckle down and bounce back from a shocking season-opening loss on the road at Chattanooga and to overcome a mid-season upset on the road at Missouri. Lessons learned enabled the Lady Vols to record the program's 17th SEC regular-season crown, 32nd NCAA Tournament appearance and 26th trip to the NCAA Elite Eight.
Warlick and her staff also weathered times of uncertainty following Summitt's exit from the head coaching position, nailing down a consensus top-two or -three signing class featuring the nation's No. 1 recruit in 6-foot-6 Mercedes Russell. That accomplishment, coupled with the on-court performance by the Lady Vols, served as confirmation to fans, former players and recruits that UT's #StillTenn Twitter hash tag was something more than words.
Though the baton has been passed, Warlick is committed to ensuring this is still the same Tennessee that everyone has come to know. With this honor, it appears her peer organization believes she is doing just that.

A great accomplishment
SJU alumnus wins Best-Strategy Invitational Grand Champion Award
July 26, 2012
By Michael Hemmesch '97
Saint John's University alumnus Jackson Burns' ultimate career goal is to do high level strategic planning and analysis for a company. Because of his success this past year, he can certainly add an impressive international accomplishment to his resume.
Burns, a 2012 SJU graduate in management, recently received a Best-Strategy Invitational (BSI) Grand Champion Award for his work in a business simulation competition.
BSI is a global competition administered by GLO-BUS over a two-week period each May, August and December. Competitors are student/teams who qualified for the invitational after finishing first place in a GLO-BUS simulation exercise conducted at their school, college or university.
Burns competed in the qualifying simulation in a CSB/SJU strategic management capstone class taught by Rick Saucier, CSB/SJU associate professor of global business leadership. The GLO-BUS simulation software tracked his progress, along with that of thousands of students, including MBA students, worldwide who participated in the simulation.
Burns advanced to the championship round in May 2012 and won the Grand Champion Award.
He described how the simulation works: "The premise of the simulation is that you are the CEO in charge of managing a camera company. As CEO, you must make decisions about a wide variety of factors, ranging from decisions on marketing and pricing, to the types of physical components in the cameras themselves. All in all, there are over 100 decision entries that need to be made every day, so it is quite a bit of work."
Competitors receive annual business results including company earnings, profitability, brand image ratings, credit ratings and their overall competitive position as compared with other competitors. They can be recognized for exceeding the board of directors' goals, company image and social responsibility initiatives.
The complexities of the simulation demand strategic decision making, Burns said. "Based on your decisions and those of your competitors, the simulation calculates sales and profit for each round. The reason it is challenging is that your opponents' decisions impact the effectiveness of your own. So for example, if no one spends any money on advertising, you could get a significant edge by spending $5 million a year. But if everyone else is spending significant amounts, you might need to spend $50 million to get the same result.
"So a large part of the simulation is trying to anticipate what your competitors will be doing and making your moves accordingly. Sometimes it pays off to make bold changes, other times it is better to wait a round and react to what other people are doing."
Burns is from Minnetonka, Minn. He completed a spring semester abroad in Fremantle, Australia, prior to graduating from SJU last May, and currently he is applying for business jobs in Australia on a one-year work visa. He's also involved with a few online start-up companies. He's hopeful that having this award will show potential employers that he has a natural aptitude for strategic decision making.
More information about this business simulation competition can be found on the GLO-BUS Website.

This research report discusses two programs developed by SAGE. The LIFESKILLS program works with youth considered to be at risk for sexual exploitation. The GRACE program works with adults who have been arrested for prostitution. This research used a four-part participatory evaluation model, and findings suggest that involvement with these programs reduces contact with the criminal justice system. The researchers also made recommendations for program improvement.

"I use Koh Gen Do blush that has a sponge in the cap. I tap it on my cheeks and I'm good to go with almost no effort."
Quirky Keepsake

Free Pass
"Once, on a plane, an air marshal gave me his business card. He wrote on the back, 'Please excuse C. Applegate from any arrest that may happen in the future,' and signed it. It's my get-out-of-jail-free card!"

The 25 Most Beautiful Public Libraries in the World
[Editor's note: In celebration of the holidays, we're counting down the top 12 Flavorwire features of 2012. This post, at #3, was originally published April 16.] We're suckers for beautiful libraries here at Flavorpill, as you might have noticed from our lists of beautiful college libraries and beautiful private libraries from all over the world. But public libraries are probably even more important to the culture at large than either of these — they're places where anyone can enter and partake of knowledge they offer, where anyone can engage with history, literature and culture. And while we know it's the books that are important, everyone likes to read in a beautiful space, so we decided to take a look at the most beautiful public libraries in the world. We excluded some very beautiful libraries that may be open to the public as museums or tourist attractions but with limited function as actual libraries, like the Vatican library (which to use, you must prove your qualifications and research needs) and the library of Dutch Parliament, but we think there are enough public libraries proper to make up for their loss. Click through to see our choices for the twenty five most beautiful public libraries in the world, and let us know if we've missed your favorite in the comments.

Friends in the Finger Lakes
June 28, 2012 by Innkeeper
I thoroughly enjoy making new friends! In my current profession as an Innkeeper, I do it daily. And, I am fortunate enough to have many repeat guests. That feels even better. But, there is nothing like the feeling of meeting an old friend again… no matter how well you knew each other in the past. Thank you Sheila for visiting and for thinking of me. It was wonderful to see you again and to meet your beautiful family. I have a feeling we will do it again before 30 years go by. 🙂
