Dolphins receiver Jabar Gaffney made the trip to Buffalo and hoped to play tonight against the Bills, but after pregame warmups the Dolphins decided to shut Gaffney down for the night.
Gaffney, who had been listed as questionable with a knee injury, is on the Dolphins' inactive list. With Gaffney inactive, rookie receiver Rishard Matthews is active and will play for just the second time this season.
The Dolphins' other inactives are QB Pat Devlin, OL Will Yeatman, DL Tony McDaniel, TE Michael Egnew and TE Jeron Mastrud.

Here is the group hard at work!!
Last night was so much fun, we spent the whole class working on little chunky journals. Much of the time was spent cutting and folding paper for the book block, now I think they begin to realize how much work goes into a handmade journal. The rest of the time was spent constructing a cover from brown paper and decorating it. We started with a sheet of brown paper 19.5 by 17.25 inches. We folded and glued it in thirds the short way to end up with a cover that was 19.4 by 5.75 inches. After folding in 4.5 inches from each end and cutting off the corners of this flap, we had a sweet little book cover perfectly sized for folded half sheets of 11 x 8.5 inch paper, with an 1.5 inch spine for the binding.
here is the cover with one pocket flap still folded out
and the cover with pockets sewn
We used 70lb cotton for the book block, 40 sheets cut in half to be 8.5 x 5.5, then folded into folios. We nested 8 folios together for each signature, which gave us a total of ten signatures for the inside. After all that work, the binding seemed simple!!

Right-Wing Media Plead With Rubio To "Walk Away" From Senate Immigration Reform Bill
Research ››› ››› REMINGTON SHEPARD & HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY
Right-wing media have urged Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) to abandon comprehensive immigration reform efforts in their continued effort to thwart the Senate's attempt to overhaul the nation's immigration system.
Senate Debate On Immigration Reform Bill Begins
Washington Post: Senate Opened Floor Debate On Immigration Reform. The Washington Post reported that the Senate's comprehensive immigration reform bill debate commenced on June 7. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is part of the bi-partisan "Gang of Eight" that crafted the debated legislation. [The Washington Post, 6/7/13]
Right-Wing Media Have Called For Rubio To Walk Away From Immigration Reform Efforts
Ingraham: Rubio Will "Rue The Day That He Became The Gang Of Eight's Poodle" Unless He Walks Away From Immigration Reform. During the May 15 edition of her radio show, Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham suggested that Rubio should have abandoned immigration reform efforts and claimed that Rubio will "rue the day he became the Gang of Eight's poodle." [Courtside Entertainment Group, The Laura Ingraham Show, 5/15/13]
Bill Kristol: Rubio Should Walk Away From Immigration Reform. During the May 21 edition of Ingraham's radio show, Weekly Standard editor and Fox News contributor Bill Kristol advised that Rubio "walk away" from immigration reform efforts, saying that he "made a good-faith effort" but helped craft a bad bill. [Courtside Entertainment Group, The Laura Ingraham Show, 5/21/13]
Michelle Malkin: "Why Doesn't Rubio Form A Gang Of One And Dare Washington" To Pass Stricter Immigration Security. Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin's April 26 syndicated column asserted that Rubio should move away from the bipartisan Senate immigration reform bill and offer his own plan for border security only, and that Rubio was kidding himself about the Gang of Eight:
Here's a test: Why doesn't Rubio form a Gang of One and dare Washington to pass the entry-exit system his new pals all say they support as a stand-alone first. Let's see them prove they can keep even a single one of their national security/immigration enforcement promises before entertaining 900 more pages of them. Prove it.
Now the Gang of Eight Republicans want conservatives to jump in bed with these security saboteurs for another Amnesty Now, Enforcement Never plan? Who's Rubio kidding? Only himself. [MichelleMalkin.com, 4/26/13]
Breitbart.com: Rubio Should "Put The Security Of Our Nation First" And Vote No On Immigration Reform. Breitbart.com argued that Rubio should vote against the immigration reform bill and instead "put the security of our nation first":
What will Senator Rubio do? Will he put the security of our nation first and oppose amnesty by voting no on the Gang of Eight's immigration bill or will he choose the path McCain took long ago--the path of going along to get along with the Republican establishment and the Washington elite? [Breitbart.com, 6/7/13]
Right-Wing Media Have Worked To Defeat Immigration Reform
Ingraham Spent Weeks Smearing Immigrants and Latinos In Campaign Against Immigration Reform. Ingraham's campaign against immigration reform has involved attacks against immigrants and Latinos. Ingraham has called children of undocumented immigrants "anchor fetuses," claimed that immigration from Mexico would "turn America into a hellhole" and erode American culture, and that an immigration reform bill would "destroy American sovereignty." She has also vowed to stop immigration reform efforts and to personally campaign against Republicans supporting the bill. [Media Matters, 6/7/13]
Kristol: Piecemeal House Immigration Bill Best Way To "Defeat Or At Least Delay" Immigration Reform. In a May 6 Weekly Standard blog post, Kristol argued that comprehensive immigration reform should not come from the Senate, but rather a piecemeal effort that addresses "border security, e-verify, [and] high skill immigration" should originate from the House of Representatives. Kristol wrote that such bills would be the best way to "defeat or at least delay the Senate bill." [The Weekly Standard, The Blog, 5/6/13]
Malkin: Comprehensive Immigration Reform Is "Kabuki Promise" That Will Undermine U.S. Sovereignty. In a January 28 blog post reacting to an announcement by the Gang of Eight's immigration reform effort, Malkin ridiculed it, explaining that promises to secure the border between the U.S. and Mexico were "empty, bullcrap promise[s] that shamnesty peddlers have pitched since the Reagan years." She called the proposal "another recipe for more illegal immigration, a bigger welfare state, and undermined sovereignty." [MichelleMalkin.com, 1/28/13]
Breitbart.com And Other Right-Wing Media Hyped "Flawed" Study To Claim Immigration Reform Will Cost Trillions. Breitbart.com and other conservative media hyped a Heritage Foundation study that supposedly found that immigration reform would "generate a fiscal deficit" of $6.3 trillion. Conservatives and experts alike found the report to be problematic, with a Cato Institute blog post calling the methodology behind the report "flawed and error prone." [Media Matters, 5/6/13]

10 Things You Probably Didn't Know About 'The Simpsons'
After 23 seasons of laughs, it's hard to imagine a world where 'The Simpsons' aren't on television. In addition to being the longest-running scripted series in TV history, 'Simpsons' quotes and references have become part of our daily vernacular. And yet, the show's storied history and the behind-the-scenes tales of how the characters came to life have been barely noticed in the large shadow its iconic characters have cast on the world.
'The Simpsons' hasn't just created a media and merchandising empire that has brought the world 500 TV episodes, a movie, countless toys and even a theme park ride. It has also launched the careers of some of the biggest names in comedy (Conan O'Brien, we'll always bow to you for the monorail episode) and turned its creator Matt Groening into a mainstream counterculture hero. So as the show reaches into its landmark 500th episode, it's worth noting some of the more interesting facts and figures behind Springfield's most famous residents.

A margarita at the Hatch?
The summer mainstay at the Erie Basin Marina may soon be getting a makeover, and one that could include liquor.
In an effort to keep up with public demand for food and drink on the waterfront, the city is looking to expand the restaurant and, more immediately, begin construction on a new ice cream gazebo.
The Hatch did its best business this summer, up 12 percent from last year, and the city is interested in keeping the momentum going, said Mayor Byron W. Brown.
The summer's warm temperatures and rain-free days helped bring many visitors to the city's waterfront, as did a redeveloped Canalside, less than a half-mile away from the marina.
Plans for the restaurant include expanding the kitchen, so the menu can offer more than hot dogs and hamburgers; moving the indoor seating to what is now the patio; enclosing the patio and adding a second floor to it.
The expansion will take place on the restaurant's existing footprint, and isn't expected to take any greenspace.
The Hatch already serves beer and wine, but Brown said the city is considering adding liquor.
Public demand for the Hatch's current offerings, and the city's desire to add to them, are driving the expansion.
Lines of 400 to 500 people form during lunchtime, and the seating for 70 inside fills up quickly, said Mike Wolasz,operations director for Brand-On Services Inc., which runs the Hatch and the rest of the marina for the city.
"People have nowhere to go in the bad weather," Wolasz said. "What do they do? They leave. The object is to keep them here – good weather, bad weather, they can come into the patio and sit down and eat and be warm."
The project has not been designed yet, and Wolasz doesn't know if the interior of the restaurant will change much.
Brown is requesting $1.3 million for the project in next year's capital budget. The hope is to have the work done by the end of next summer.
The ice cream gazebo, a former hot dog stand, will be demolished and rebuilt. The new gazebo is expected to be open by the spring. The money for the project, estimated to cost $406,000, has already been borrowed and construction should begin soon.
The city hopes a new gazebo will allow customers to be served more quickly, and will mitigate long lines.
The Hatch will close for the season after the first weekend in October. The marina's other operations will close for the season on Oct. 15.

Louis Vuitton Bowling Vanity BagCategories:Louis Vuitton
And what did we say?
We told you the Louis Vuitton Bowling Vanity Bag was coming this way, but we were never informed about its true name. For the Fall Winter 2014 Collection, this high fashion brand will be stocking very interesting bags including the 'Petite Malle', you remember? (if not, more details next week).
Now back to the Louis Vuitton Bowling Vanity Bag. There are two styles available, one is made from 'Tweed' and the other is made from 'Fabric' – a true legacy, a piece of art and an eye catching accessory that's different than many Louis Vuitton bags that we are used to.
A tag is hanging on the pearl chain handles; a chic closure is put on the zipper area, simply gorgeous. The tweed has been embellished on the front and the back, the colors remind me of the 'fall' – the moments when the leaves are changing colors and dropping on the ground.
The details:
Louis Vuitton Bowling Vanity Tweed
Measuring 11' x 8.6' x 4.3'
Colors available are Vert and Blue
Priced at $4,550 USD at Louis Vuitton store.

The iPhone 3G is SOOOOO close, I can practically taste the doubled speed, GPS and iPhone 2.0-and-web apps sweetness! It's hard to believe that it's already been over a year since I held the object of my obsession (a.k.a. iPhone 2G) for the first time in the Apple Store. Now, my still-gleaming 2G is about to become a has-been. Will it be worth the box it was shipped in after July 11? Read on for this week's Tip, the possible future of YOUR "old" iPhone!
People buying an iPhone for the first time are waiting until July 11 or after. In some ways, they are the lucky ones. They don't have the conundrum of figuring out what to do with their iPhone 2G. Sell it on eBay for pennies on the dollar? Donate it to charity? Drop it in their "old icky outdated technology drawer" from where there is no return?
I was an "early adopter" -- translation: I was suckered into paying $599 (still hurts to type it to this day) for my little slice of techno-nirvana. Given the new iPhone 3G is just around the corner, this week's Tip is a timely one regarding what YOU can do with your old iPhone!
In no particular order, here are some ideas:
1) Use your old iPhone as an iPod (a really expensive iPod, but hey, it has a pretty multi-touch screen!)
2) Hand-me-down: give it to your spouse, significant other, child, friend, boss (possible bribe potential), etc. I'm sure the beneficiary will LOVE it (especially if they have not experienced an iPhone before) and AT&T will love it too ($$$)! Besides, the tax write-off may be higher than what you'd get on eBay.
3) Keep it. Don't upgrade. It's humanly impossible to resist the siren song of the iPhone 3G, but if you are super-human and manage to stick to your 2G, then at least be comforted in knowing that you will keep your same rate plan and you can point your finger and mock all the 3G'ers that are paying more for their data (see tidbits.com).
4) Doorstop, paperweight, pond-skipping, coaster, or all the above.
Thanks for dropping by for this week's Tip about what you can do with your old iPhone 2G. What will YOU do with yours? Leave a comment and share!
Disclaimer: Tip o' the Week makes no guarantee, express or implied, that any tip found herein will be new or particularly useful to the reader (except for #4 above - I suspect that even the iPhone 2G's sleek design would beat just about any flat rock in a pond-skipping contest).

Artig latest news on historical miniature
In 1945 the Second World War - the deadliest conflict in human history, was over. Victory Day marks the capitulation of Nazi Germany, when the surrender document was signed late in the evening on 8 May 1945 (after midnight, thus on 9 May, by Moscow Time). Until now this public holiday is celebrated to mark the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender of its armed forces. With it came the end of six years of misery, suffering, courage and endurance across the world.We congratulate each and everyone on the Victory Day! May it never happen again!

Chris Horner published his blood values on his web site. I didn't have much interest in this. Indeed, I was much more interested in the America's Cup then in the Vuelta. It's not because I'm not interested in bike racing. Rather it was because it all seemed so unreal, so "not normal", that I just wasn't interested. Horner won. Curious.
The data were published in raster form, and would require transcription (or OCR) to do anything interesting with. I didn't have the interest + time to do this. But then I saw this blog post which links to a spreadsheet with the transcribed data.
Back in 2009 I made the following plot, which I posted to my blog the following year, showing the reticulocyte percentage in Lance Armstrong's blood, which he published online, plotted versus his hematocrit. It's generally considered a sign of transfusion when the hematocrit increases with a low reticulocyte percentage. Reticulocytes are the young blood cells, and if you're producing your own, you'll have a mix of young and old cells typically. Lance's data fit into two clear groups, one with much lower reticulocyte percentage than the other for the same hematocrit. The low reticulocyte group happened to coincide with the Tour de France. This was suggested by Michael Ashedon and others to be highly suspicious. That the UCI failed to flag the data as suspicious was viewed as a sign it wasn't serious about catching high-profile dopers. Lance later said on Oprah he was clean during the 2009 Tour de France, and I'm not in a position to call him a liar. But then he also previously claimed he'd been clean his whole career.
So fast-forward to September 2013. Chris Horner posted his blood values, as I noted, and the obvious thing was to compare these to Lance's. Lance's data had just been for a half-year, however, while Horner's are for the history of his testing under the biological passport. So Horner's data are a mix of high-profile races and out-of-competition testing.
I split out three races from Horner's data: the 2010 Tour, the 2012 Tour, and the 2013 Vuelta. He rode excellently during all three, winning the Vuelta but against lesser competition than he faced in the Tour. So the question is: is there a clean signature of these races which suggest something's amiss? Certainly the data from the Vuelta this year and the 2010 Tour are right in the same zone as Lance's suspicious data from 2009, although the hematocrit doesn't extend quite as high. But the data from the 2012 Tour have a higher reticulocyte percentage.
Biological passport numbers are unfortunately sparse: it's hard to interpret differences between two big races. Certainly the story from Horner's data is not as compelling as was the story told by Lance's. But I certainly didn't see anything here which reduced the tepidity of my response to the race.
Anyone want to discuss the America's Cup?

Tragedy again touches Fort Hood community
The soldier behind Wednesday's deadly shooting at Fort Hood had mental health issues and was being treated for depression and anxiety, according to the top Army official at Fort Hood. VPC
FORT HOOD, Texas — The quiet, professional bearing of guards at this sprawling Army post's main gate Thursday provided stark contrast to a soldier's rampage hours earlier that left four people dead and 16 injured.
The base, dubbed "The Great Place," is home to two full divisions and 12 other units — more than 40,000 soldiers. Parts of the nation's largest active-duty armored post resemble any typical suburban neighborhood. Such violence seems totally out of place here, even in a community where streets bear names such as Tank Destroyer Boulevard and Hell on Wheels Avenue.
The base and the surrounding community of Killeen appeared normal Thursday, although physical training was canceled for all soldiers. Chaplains set up family counseling centers at the Spirit of Fort Hood Chapel and nearby Scott & White Hospital, where nine of the injured were admitted.
Outside the 24-hour Hallmark diner a few miles from the post, Terry Johnson and Anette Barreiro smoked cigarettes and fretted about the people they know at Fort Hood. The post is a major economic driver for the area, especially when it's a pay week like this one. Car dealerships, pawn stores and barbershops ring the base.
Johnson, 41, a car salesman, said some high-ranking officers have told him they felt safer deployed in combat zones than they did on their own post.
Barreiro, 48, a waitress at a nearby sports bar, said she had just come on duty Wednesday afternoon when the shooting happened. All the customers, she said, insisted she switch the TV screens to the news coverage.
"It's very disturbing that people could do something like this," she said. "I know they've just come from war, but to do something like this..."
The drill is not new here. Wednesday's tragedy came less than five years after this same post suffered the worst attack on a domestic U.S. military installation in history. On Nov. 5, 2009, Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan went on a shooting rampage that left 13 dead and 31 wounded.
In fact, the gunman, Spc. Ivan Lopez, bought his .45-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun in Killeen at Guns Galore -- the same shop where Hasan bought his weapon.
STORY: 4 dead, 16 wounded in Fort Hood attack
MORE : Lopez had history of mental illness
Pastor Edward McCabe of West Bridgewater, Mass., who says he's in his late 60s, was at Fort Hood just over a month when Hasan went on his rampage. McCabe was a reservist who came to the Central Texas army post as a Catholic chaplain but gave notice of his desire to leave the Monday before that Thursday shooting. He left the following May.
"It was the very hostile feeling that precipitated my resigning," McCabe says. "It was a mood on post."
"I just said 'I don't like this place. I had a very bad feeling there," he says.
McCabe says he wasn't surprised to hear of another Fort Hood shooting spree.
"It was pervasive -- a level of anger there," he says. "I had a lot of different encounters with people every day and I never dealt with anyone that was in a happy mood."
The Army said Lopez was an Iraq War veteran who was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress disorder, but had not yet been diagnosed for the illness.
Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, head of the Army's III Corps at the Texas post, said the shooter walked into a building in the post's 1st Medical Brigade at about 4 p.m. Wednesday and opened fire with the .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol. He then got into a vehicle, fired more shots from the vehicle, went to another building and began shooting, Milley said.
When a military police officer encountered him and drew her weapon, the shooter put his arms up before pulling out a gun and fatally shooting himself.
He was married and "does have family," Milley said.
Lopez arrived at Fort Hood in February from another Army post and had not been assigned to one of the Army Wounded Transition Units, military units that are set up to care for wounded, injured or ill soldiers. Those assigned to these units have case managers who help them track appointments and manage their medical treatments.
Inside the Hallmark, a sign promises free coffee to active-duty military. But traffic was light Thursday, said waitress Catherine Wright, 34.
"It's been dead," she said. "Usually they come off the base and go to the clubs and then come here after, but not today," she said. Wrightwas born on Colorado's Fort Carson base, said she's always felt safe around military bases. But that's changed over the past few years, she said.
"You figure that since it happened before, they'd be more prepared," Wright said.
Killeen native Marie Pyburn, 82, says her first reaction to the shooting in her hometown: "here we go again."
"It just upsets me to think these kinds of thing go on in the world."

How Low Can Facebook – and the Euro – Go?
For most people, Friday's just the day before the weekend.
But in the Wall Street Daily Nation, it's the day we ditch the longwinded analysis and let some graphics talk for us.
After all, a picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words, right?
This week, we're serving up a Limbo edition, profiling the increasing ability of both the euro and Facebook's (Nasdaq: FB) newborn stock to keep heading lower and lower.
I'm also sharing (gasp) disappointing real estate data. Is it time for me to eat crow for predicting the real estate market hit rock bottom? Hardly. Read on to find out why…
How Low Can the Euro Go?
The eurozone's falling apart. And the value of the euro keeps slip, slip, sliding away.
On Thursday, the beleaguered currency hit a fresh two-year low versus the U.S. dollar at $1.2368.
Yes, folks, this is the currency that's supposed to replace the U.S. dollar as the reserve currency of the world. Or not!
What's the next stop for the euro? Nobody knows for sure. But I'll bet you its lower. Only a few more pennies and we take out the lows hit in 2010.
Bottom line: Currencies are a relative game. And right now the U.S. dollar is looking mighty again, even if it's not on its own merits. But I'll take it.
How Low Can Facebook Go?
Before it was popular, I was trashing Facebook's IPO. And guess what? The sweet taste of vindication keeps getting sweeter with every tick lower for the social networking giant.
Of course, the blame game is in full effect on Wall Street and Main Street. Forget about wasting time pointing fingers, though. Let's instead put a finger on what the Wall Street Daily Nation thinks is the Facebook's next resting point.
$20… $15… $10? Send us an email with your bold predictions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Bottom line: Facebook is nothing more than an advertising company. And a bad one at that, based on General Motors' (NYSE: GM) recent decision to stop paying for Facebook ads. Prepare for even lower prices still.
Eat Crow? Never!
Unlike many stubborn analysts, I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong.
A boatload of readers wants me to do just that when it comes to my February prediction that the real estate market hit rock bottom. Especially after Wednesday's pending home sales report.
The National Association of Realtors revealed its Pending Homes Sales Index (PHSI) dropped 5.5% on a seasonally adjusted basis in April. So clearly the market can't be recovering, according to the diehard real estate bears.
Silly rabbits! Trix are for kids. And recoveries are always uneven. So let's not mistake a little lumpiness in the data as a full-blown reversal.
Fact is, the PHSI is up 14.4% year-over-year. And other real estate stats are improving year-over-year, as well. Like foreclosures.
On Wednesday, CoreLogic reported that there were 66,000 completed foreclosures in April, a 15.3% drop from April 2011.
Bottom line: As I said last week – and the chart above reveals – the real estate data keeps "moving from bad to less bad, which is a clear sign of a market bottom." So there will be no eating crow here, thank you very much.

Antarctica is, on average, the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth. The waters around Antarctica – the Southern Ocean – is one of the most productive oceans on the planet and is the home for many charismatic wildlife including penguins, whales, dolphins and seals.
Human extractions from and activities in the Southern Ocean, compared to other areas of the world's ocean, are relatively low. However, with increasing pressure on marine living resources such as krill – shrimp-like crustacean – and fish species such as the Antarctic toothfish – also known as Chilean Seabass – the management and regulation of human activities, in particles fisheries, becomes even more important.
Several IUCN NGO members, including the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC), the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Environment and Conservation Organizations of New Zealand (ECO), and other organizations came together to form theAntarctic Ocean Alliance (AOA). AOA proposes the creation of a network of marine protected areas and no-take marine reserves in 19 specific areas in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.
One of the key places to protect is the Ross Sea region. Reasons why to take strong conservation measures in the Ross Sea include:
- Protection of feeding and spawning grounds critical to the life-history stages of the Antarctic toothfish – the region's top predator;
- Protection of biodiversity hot spots such as the Ross Sea shelf and slope, Balleny Islands, Pacific Antarctic Ridge and the Scott Seamounts;
- Protection that facilitates the continuation and expansion of long-term datasets that underpin crucial research into ecosystem function and environmental change, including the impacts of climate change, particularly ocean acidification.
Fisheries activities in the Southern Ocean are managed by the Commission to the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources(CCAMLR). CCAMLR agreed to the creation of a representative network of marine protected areas (MPAs) across the Southern Ocean by 2012 and is currently discussion different MPA scenarios and proposals. MPAs can range from strictly protected no-take reserves to areas in which multiple interactions with the marine environment are allowed. MPAs are being established in many oceans of the world as a tool to achieve objectives including the conservation of biodiversity and habitats, co-ordination of activities in multiple-use areas, maintenance of healthy ecosystems and the sustainable exploitation of marine living resources.
This year is crucial for the long-term conservation of marine life and resources in the Southern Ocean.

Plaudits for the relative restraint of Denver police during last week's Democratic National Convention are not set to be repeated at the RNC, as cops signaled their intent by arresting an AP photographer as well as Democracy Now host Amy Goodman simply for documenting protests in downtown St. Paul.
Associated Press photographer Matt Rourke was arrested on a gross misdemeanor riot charge simply for taking pictures of a protest yesterday.
"Covering news is a constitutionally protected activity, and covering a riot is part of that coverage," AP assistant chief of bureau in Washington David Ake said. "Photographers should not be detained for covering breaking news."
Democracy Now host Amy Goodman was arrested after she complained about the assault and arrest of her colleagues, Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar.
According to Democracy Now, "All three were violently manhandled by law enforcement officers. Abdel Kouddous was slammed against a wall and the ground, leaving his arms scraped and bloodied. He sustained other injuries to his chest and back. Salazar's violent arrest by baton-wielding officers, during which she was slammed to the ground while yelling, "I'm Press! Press!," resulted in her nose bleeding, as well as causing facial pain. Goodman's arm was violently yanked by police as she was arrested."
"During the demonstration in which the Democracy Now! team was arrested, law enforcement officers used pepper spray, rubber bullets, concussion grenades and excessive force against protesters and journalists. Several dozen demonstrators were also arrested during this action, including a photographer for the Associated Press."
All three were eventually released but face felony charges. Democracy Now has vowed to fight the false charges which they characterized as an intimidation of independent journalists.
Another AP photographer, Evan Vucci, was body slammed, kicked in the ribs and then handcuffed by police, only avoiding arrest by showing his press credentials.
"The police had pushed the protesters into a parking lot where they had police coming from all sides to encircle one area," Vucci said. "Once they got all the protesters into this one parking lot they kind of rushed and arrested all the protesters in there," said Vucci.
With 50,000 demonstrators expected to protest the RNC, more incidents of this kind can be expected.
On Friday, the Ramsey County Sheriff's office, directed by federal authorities and armed with semi-automatic weapons, raided the headquarters of a protest group and detained and photographed 50 people. Six were arrested on charges of organizing a riot. None of the six have been convicted of a felony or crime of violence and all hold respectable positions within the community.
The raids were carried out after moles were planted in the group by the Minneapolis Joint Terrorist Task Force.
The raids were specifically "aided by informants planted in protest groups," notes Salon writer Glenn Greenwald.
"Back in May, Marcy Wheeler presciently noted that the Minneapolis Joint Terrorist Task Force — an inter-agency group of federal, state and local law enforcement led by the FBI — was actively recruiting Minneapolis residents to serve as plants, to infiltrate "vegan groups" and other left-wing activist groups and report back to the Task Force about what they were doing. There seems to be little doubt that it was this domestic spying by the Federal Government that led to the excessive and truly despicable home assaults by the police yesterday," writes Greenwald.
Amy Goodman arrested for asking questions about the assault and arrest of her colleagues.
Police fire tear gas at protesters as they run away.

The turmeric is delivered in its most potent form to the lower-GI without the use of traditional enteric coatings.
Fargo, ND (PRWEB) October 12, 2012
Turmeric, a supplement that supports lower gastrointestinal (GI) health, is most effective when absorbed in the intestines. However, not all forms of turmeric supplements are strong enough to survive the highly acidic environment of the stomach and are broken down before reaching the lower GI tract. Swanson Premium Full Spectrum Turmeric Delayed-Response supplement features DRcaps®: innovative, vegetable-fiber capsules that protect the enclosed ingredients until reaching the lower GI tract.
Swanson Health Products selected their Premium Full Spectrum Turmeric to debut the DRcaps due to the benefits turmeric offers the digestive system. By delaying the capsule opening, the turmeric is delivered in its most potent form to the lower-GI without the use of traditional enteric coatings. Not only do these vegetarian capsules eliminate the need for added chemicals or solvents, they also mask the taste and odor of the supplement ingredient for those sensitive to the flavor and odor of turmeric.
Swanson Health Products is an industry leader in bringing vitamins directly to consumers at the lowest prices possible. Swanson Health Products, headquartered in Fargo, ND, offers the highest quality vitamins, supplements and natural health care products and is Good Manufacturing Practices certified.

Hi everyone,
I have a question or two. I have noticed that there are several people who sell quilts on etsy. I know my friend sells quilts on etsy along with other things like some pre-cuts and hair bows. I noticed that on the items sold she has been selling the precuts, but none of her quilts, but I have noticed other quilt sellers who have sold quite a few quilts and was wondering what might make the difference. I have thought of making a few and trying to sell them on Etsy, if they won't sell I will use them as gifts. I do have one man that is having me make a quilt for his wife, and he promised he would promote my business for him. He paid me $11 more than what I had given him a bid for.

Remarkable Fossil to Be Displayed in Pterosaurs Exhibition main content.
by AMNH on
A remarkable pterosaur fossil of the Late Jurassic species Rhamphorhynchus muensteri will make its U.S. debut when Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs opens in just a few weeks, on Saturday, April 5, 2014.
Discovered in Germany in 2001, the so-called Dark Wing fossil is considered by paleontologists to be a particularly important specimen for the amount of detail preserved, and it has never before been exhibited outside of Germany.
Among ancient vertebrates, pterosaur fossils are particularly rare—far rarer than dinosaur bones. But by the time Dark Wing was discovered in 2001, Rhamphorhynchus muensteri was already one of the most widely studied pterosaurs, with more than 100 other fossils unearthed since the first was found in the early 1800s. Usually, too, only a pterosaur's bones are fossilized, meaning that scientists lack information about the soft tissue of the animals' crests or the skin of their bodies and wings.
But in Dark Wing, the wing tissues are so well preserved that scientists have been able to see fine details in their structure. Under ultraviolet light, researchers detected layers of skin threaded with blood vessels, muscles, and long fibers that stiffened the wing, leading to increased understanding of how the animals' wings might have lofted them through the air.
Learn more about the fossil in Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs, opening Saturday, April 5.

Paciltaxel, Protein Bound (Abraxane®)
Pronounced: pak-lih-TAX-uhl
Classification: Antimicrotubule Agent, Taxane
About: Paciltaxel, Protein Bound (Abraxane®)
Paciltaxel, protein bound, is a form of paclitaxel chemotherapy where the paclitaxel particles are bound in a protein called albumin, which is derived from human blood. This prevents the reactions associated with the preservative used in regular paclitaxel and allows higher doses to be given. Paclitaxel is a plant alkaloid that was developed from the bark of the Pacific Yew tree. Paclitaxel works by disrupting the microtubular network essential for cell division and other normal cellular functions, eventually causing cell death.
How to Take Paciltaxel, Protein Bound
Protein bound paclitaxel is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion, typically once a week or every 3 weeks. The dose is dependent on your body size and will be determined by your healthcare provider.
Even when carefully and correctly administered by trained personnel, this drug may cause a feeling of burning and pain. There is a risk that this drug may leak out of the vein at the injection site, resulting in tissue damage. If the area of injection becomes red, swollen, or painful at any time during or after the injection, notify your doctor or nurse immediately. Do not apply anything to the site unless instructed by your doctor or nurse.
Possible Side Effects of Paclitaxel, Protein Bound
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of paclitaxel, protein bound. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Low White Blood Cell Count (Leukopenia or Neutropenia)
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
- Washing hands, both yours and your visitors, is the best way to prevent the spread of infection.
- Avoid large crowds and people who are sick (i.e.: those who have a cold, fever or cough or live with someone with these symptoms).
- When working in your yard, wear protective clothing including long pants and gloves.
- Do not handle pet waste.
- Keep all cuts or scratches clean.
- Shower or bath daily and perform frequent mouth care.
- Do not cut cuticles or ingrown nails. You may wear nail polish, but not fake nails.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before scheduling dental appointments or procedures.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before you, or someone you live with, has any vaccinations.
Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia)
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
- Do not use a razor (an electric razor is fine).
- Avoid contact sports and activities that can result in injury or bleeding.
- Do not take aspirin (salicylic acid), non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as Motrin®, Aleve®, Advil®, etc. as these can all increase the risk of bleeding. Unless your healthcare team tells you otherwise, you may take acetaminophen (Tylenol).
- Do not floss or use toothpicks and use a soft-bristle toothbrush to brush your teeth.
Low Red Blood Cell Count (Anemia)
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion.
Peripheral Neuropathy (Numbness or Tingling in the Hands and/or Feet)
Peripheral neuropathy is a toxicity that affects the nerves. It causes a numbness or tingling feeling in the hands and feet, often in the pattern of a stocking or glove. This can get progressively worse with additional doses of the medication. In some people, the symptoms slowly resolve after the medication is stopped, but for some it never goes away completely. You should let your healthcare provider know if you experience numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, as they may need to adjust the doses of your medication.
Fatigue is very common during cancer treatment and is an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion that is not usually relieved by rest. While on cancer treatment, and for a period after, you may need to adjust your schedule to manage fatigue. Plan times to rest during the day and conserve energy for more important activities. Exercise can help combat fatigue; a simple daily walk with a friend can help. Talk to your healthcare team for helpful tips on dealing with this side effect.
Loss or Thinning of Scalp and Body Hair (Alopecia)
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun.
Some patients may develop a rash, scaly skin, or red itchy bumps. Use an alcohol free moisturizer on your skin and lips; avoid moisturizers with perfumes or scents. Your doctor or nurse can recommend a topical medication if itching is bothersome. If your skin does crack or bleed, be sure to keep the area clean to avoid infection. Be sure to notify your healthcare provider of any rash that develops, as this can be a reaction. They can give you more tips on caring for your skin.
Muscle or Joint Pain/Aches and Headache
Your doctor or nurse can recommend medication and other strategies to relieve pain.
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods and absorbs fluid, which can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange sections, boiled potatoes, white rice, products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration.
Liver Toxicity
This medication can cause liver toxicity, which your doctor may monitor for using blood tests called liver function tests. If you develop elevations in your liver function tests, your healthcare provider may need to lower your dose or stop the medication. Notify your healthcare provider if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, your urine appears dark or brown or pain in your abdomen, as these can be signs of liver toxicity.
Heart Problems
This medication can cause slow or abnormal heartbeats, congestive heart failure or heart dysfunction. Notify your healthcare provider right away if you feel abnormal heartbeats, if you feel dizzy or faint, or if you develop swelling in your feet or ankles.
Lung problems
This drug can cause a variety of lung problems, including pneumonitis, interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary embolism and lung fibrosis. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have shortness of breath, cough, wheezing or difficulty breathing.
Decrease in Appetite
Nutrition is an important part of your care. Cancer treatment can affect your appetite and, in some cases, the side effects of treatment can make eating difficult. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services at your treatment center to help with food choices.
- Try to eat five or six small meals or snacks throughout the day, instead of 3 larger meals.
- If you are not eating enough, nutritional supplements may help.
- You may experience a metallic taste or find that food has no taste at all. You may dislike foods or beverages that you liked before receiving cancer treatment. These symptoms can last for several months or longer after treatment ends.
- Avoid any food that you think smells or tastes bad. If red meat is a problem, eat chicken, turkey, eggs, dairy products and fish without a strong smell. Sometimes cold food has less of an odor.
- Add extra flavor to meat or fish by marinating it in sweet juices, sweet and sour sauce or dressings. Use seasonings like basil, oregano or rosemary to add flavor. Bacon, ham and onion can add flavor to vegetables.
Allergic Reactions
In some cases, patients can have an allergic reaction to this medication. Signs of a reaction can include: shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chest pain, rash, flushing or itching or a decrease in blood pressure. If you notice any changes in how you feel during the infusion, let your nurse know immediately. The infusion will be slowed or stopped if this occurs. Depending on the severity of your reaction, you may still be able to receive the medication with a pre-medication to prevent a reaction, or if the medication is given at a slower rate.
Reproductive concerns
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment. Even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe you are not producing sperm, you could still be fertile and conceive. You should not breastfeed while receiving this medication.

The CFTS is a package of programs written in LabVIEW that control digital stimulus generation and data acquisition using National Instruments input/output boards. The programs are already compiled and do not require a LabVIEW license to run. This means, however, that they cannot be changed. If a user wants to change the labeling or functionality, the underlying LabVIEW programs (called virtual instruments, or "VI's") can also be downloaded. Using these VI's requires the LabVIEW programming environment and a LabVIEW license (these can be obtained at http://www.ni.com/). The basic elements of LabVIEW are relatively easy to learn so that small changes (changing the labeling or adding an additional input) might be done by an experimenter who has little programming or engineering background. The cochlear function tests and procedures are: Acoustic Calibrations Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) input-output functions Compound Action Potential (CAP) input-output functions CAP tuning curves Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) input-output functions Basic data-analysis routines such as creating equal-response contours (DPOAE "tuning curves") from multiple DPOAE level functions Download EPL CFTS installer Download EPL CFTS Users' Manual (PDF) Download ABR Peak Analysis Software Download the source code of ABR Peak Analysis Software Support Advancements in Research 617-573-3345

They've sacked Carson Palmer twice. More importantly, they've now scored two touchdowns.
The Bengals lead the Raiders 14-0 in the first quarter.
The first came from running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, capping a five-play, 58-yard drive. The second resulted from a nine-play, 88-yard drive that ended with receiver Mohamed Sanu catching a one-handed, two-yard touchdown pass.
If the score holds, it'll be the third straight win for the Bengals, who had lost four in a row.

Elephants – re-animated from lost musical DNAPosted by admin in Performance, Video, tags: Elephants, Get It All Out, music, NYC, Process, Recording studio, Stick Against Stone, Tribute songs, Video
"Elephants" (full title: "Elephants stampeding out of a rainforest into a sea of grass, before your very eyes") is a song written by the group Stick Against Stone in 1981. I first heard it, -really heard it- in about 2005, on a cassette copy of a live show (probably 3rd or 4th generation) from November 1981. An artifact that represented an echo of an echo of a brief window in time.
As the arresting melody, harmonizing horn arrangements and syncopated rhythms sank in my ears and heart – I knew that I wanted to hear this song performed live. What you see here, from a recording studio in New York in the summer of 2009 – is a small step in an iterative process to re-animate one of many great tunes from a nearly forgotten songbook. Our hope is to release these re-recorded songs as a tribute album and companion to the "Get It All Out" documentary.
Recorded at Axis Sound – Hell's Kitchen, New York City Engineer – Steve Rossiter
Bob Wenzel - baritone and alto Sax (Bob was one of the members of the first version of Stick Against Stone, and has been playing horn since the '60s)
Tony Mason – drums
Ben Rubin – bass
Michael Blake – tenor and soprano sax
Yusuke Yamamoto – percussion

Spoilers for last night's Glee coming up:
After a string of improved episodes, especially last week's high point, "Dream On," I was nervous about "Theatricality," because it was another episode devoted to showcasing a particular artist. I know some fans vehemently disagree with me, but "The Power of Madonna" was an example of how Glee can go badly wrong by overindulging—letting Sue Sylvester take over the episode, for instance, and forcing the plot to serve the songs rather than vice versa. I was pleasantly surprised by "Theatricality," with a couple of exceptions, and I'll tell you why in quick hail-of bullets style:
* Unlike in "The Power of Madonna," the Gaga songs left the actual story some room to breathe, and the choice of artist, supplemented by KISS, complemented a long-running Glee theme: embracing your freakiness, regardless of the costs. The requisite "Bad Romance" was just a straight performance, but the duet between Lea Michele and Idina Menzel on a balladized "Poker Face" was one of those Glee scenes that's just so ludicrous, yet played with such straight emotion, that it worked. That "Poker Face" is, when you think about it, an entirely inappropriate song for a mother and daughter to duet on only made it work better, because Rachel and Shelby are exactly the characters you can see singing this song straight.
* The "f word" scene between Finn and Kurt was the sort of thing that could have come across very hamhanded and Very Special Episode-like, particularly with Burt Hummel's speech. But it ended up moving and believable, particularly, I think, because the show has already established Burt as a good guy who nonetheless has had to work to overcome his own homophobia. (He admits, in front of his son, that he used the word "fag" as a teenager too: "We meant it exactly the way you meant it.. [as if] being gay is a punishable offense.") And Mike O'Malley, as always, made me believe that Burt was not speaking out of some false enlightenment but out of a desire to protect his family and a struggle to do the right thing.
* But Cory Monteith deserves credit for the scene too. One thing I love about his performance, here and throughout Glee, is that he plays Finn as a kid, which of course he still is. He's basically a good kid, but as his "faggy" outburst shows, he's flawed and often overwhelmed. And while he has little to do during Burt's lecture but react, his reactions are great: he's scared and defensive, but shows Finn's guilt at the same time.
* Now a few things that didn't work for me: the subplots involving Tina's sudden Goth fixation and the baby name were ridiculous and dispensible. (The latter seemed to be a case of inserting about 15 seconds of story to justify including KISS's awesome "Beth," which is almost but not quite justification.) And while the persecution of the Glee kids is well-established, the meathead jocks were clichés even by Glee's standards.
* I didn't miss Sue Sylvester the entire episode. This is not an insult to Jane Lynch, whom I'll be glad to see back, but it's good to see Glee show that it doesn't need her to make a solid episode.
* I'm hardly the first to notice this, but I can really do without the Glee thing of repeating the title of the episode 50 times in the opening five minutes, just in case anyone missed the theme.
* Rachel's reference to the piano player—"He's always just around"—was maybe the funniest line of the season. When will he get his own lines?
* Given that I criticize Glee for forcing songs for the songs' sake, I should admire its restraint—but was anyone surprised that they didn't seize on the excuse to have Will rap this?:

Statistics show that Nicholls State student-athletes are continuing to make strides in the classroom and are graduating college at an all-time high for the school.
Statistics show that Nicholls State student-athletes are continuing to make strides in the classroom and are graduating college at an all-time high for the school.
The recently released Graduation Success Rate report shows that 68 percent of Nicholls student-athletes who began college in 2005 have earned degrees within six years.
The graduation rate is an all-time high for Nicholls, and is a two-point increase from last year, according to school officials.
Nicholls athletics director Rob Bernardi said the GSR rate proves the commitment that the athletic department has to helping its student-athletes graduate.
"Our goal is to make sure that the student-athletes come here, and they have a really good athletic experience, but they also have a good academic experience, and that they graduate," Bernardi said.
Nicholls has the fourth-highest overall GSR rate in the state, tying Northwestern State and trailing only LSU, Louisiana Tech and McNeese State.
"I am very proud of our continued success in improving the graduation rate of student-athletes," said Nicholls President Stephen Hulbert in a news release. "For Nicholls athletics to rank among the top GSRs in the state — despite the fact that we are one of the lowest-funded athletics programs — is a great accomplishment and speaks volumes about our student athletes, coaches, staff and faculty."
The GSR is designed to measure the proportion of student-athletes who graduate and includes incoming transfer students in its calculations.
Nicholls had the highest GSRs rate among state schools and in the Southland Conference in the sports of men's tennis (100 percent graduating) and softball (90 percent).
Nicholls also ranks first in men's cross country/track (80 percent), third in men's basketball (71 percent) and third in volleyball (86 percent). Several Colonel teams showed increases from their previous year's GSR, which measured the graduation rates of 2004 incoming freshmen. Men's cross country/track improved by 20 percentage points, golf by 15 points, men's basketball by eight points and football by seven points.
Bernardi said the graduation rates jumped largely because the school implemented admissions standards in 2005. He also added that coaches are recruiting more athletes who qualify academically and make sure the ones who struggle get the help they need.
"It says that we're doing the right things," Bernardi said. "While we have struggled sometimes financially or competitively, in the most important area, which is graduating student athletes, we are right there where we should be."
Aside from the GSR rate, Bernardi pointed to the school's Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores this year as further proof of the athletic department's success. The mission of the APR, which is part of an academic reform package established by the NCAA nine years ago, is to improve classroom performance and graduation rates of student-athletes by concentrating on athlete retention and eligibility.
The APR showed Nicholls' 14 sports programs performed above the academic standard during the 2010-11 school year. Nicholls had three teams with perfect scores of 1,000 — men's golf, men's tennis and women's cross country. Every Nicholls athletic program scored above 930, with 11 programs scoring above 950.
It was the third straight year that all of Nicholls' athletic programs have met APR standards.
"I'm really proud of the progress we've made in terms of the graduation rates and the APR," Bernardi said. "We started out really in a difficult situation several years ago, and we've made up ground quickly. We're at the point with a great graduation rate and APR."
While he is pleased with the high academic rates, Bernardi said the work is not done. He wants the athletic program to continue making improvements to get higher rates in the upcoming years.
"We are trying the best we can to get the highest graduation rate as possible, and that's a 100 percent," Bernardi said. "That is our goal. We're closing in on it. I'm sure the rates will increases as the years go on."

Center on Airborne Organics
1996 Annual Report
B. The Center at a Glance
[Back] [Next]
The Center on Airborne Organics was established at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to address air pollution problems. The nation is now struggling to implement the provisions of the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990, particularly those targeted at controlling tropospheric ozone and air toxics. Increased concern is being expressed with the health effects of ultrafine particles and a significant fraction of the Centerâs resources is directed at fine particles, their generation, attribution of their sources from ambient measurements, and their effects. Costly emission control measures adopted to date have proved to be only partially successful in controlling ozone in urban areas. Ozone concentrations still exceed current standards in many areas despite the expenditures of many billion dollars over the past two decades. The problem of air toxics is one that is posing many challenges in defining the magnitude of the problem posed by the 189 chemicals listed in the CAAA and establishing priorities for their control. Tiny carbonaceous particles continue to decrease visibility and are implicated in human health effects. There is, however, large uncertainty as to the size, composition, and source of the particles of concern to human health.
The reason it is so difficult to reduce atmospheric concentrations of organic pollutants is that the atmosphere contains an enormous variety of organic compounds with widely differing characteristics and impacts on health and the environment. The sources that emit them (or their chemical precursors) are also numerous and include natural processes as well as anthropogenic activities. The quantity and composition of material emitted even by familiar sources such as cars is unclear. And once emitted, material may change chemically or physically in the atmosphere, further complicating the task of matching airborne pollutant and source. Given such complexities and uncertainties, it is difficult to forecast how a given regulatory strategy will influence ambient air quality.
To support the policy making process, the Center on Airborne Organics draws on the talents of recognized leaders at Caltech, MIT, and NJIT in the areas of sources and control, transport and transformation, and monitoring and source attribution to address the following interrelated activities:
đ developing and using improved techniques to sample and analyze emissions from sources and material in the air,
đ determining how emitted material is transported and changed in the environment,
đ refining existing methodologies for source attribution by identifying critical compounds and structures in airborne organics and their environmental stability, and
đ assessing the potential effectiveness of specific control strategies.

10 Nov 2015
(HONG KONG) Dragonair today announced the launch of a new inflight menu featuring an array of popular Chiu Chow dishes from the kitchens of renowned Hong Kong restaurant Pak Loh Chiu Chow. From today until 31 January 2016, the new menu will be available for First and Business passengers flying from Hong Kong to Beijing and Shanghai for breakfast and during refreshment time. This is the first time Dragonair passengers have been able to enjoy authentic Chiu Chow tastes in the air.
Dragonair is committed to delivering the best possible inflight services for its passengers. To enhance the dining experience on board its aircraft, the airline continues to explore new options and foster partnerships with leading restaurants and hotels in the quest to create new and exciting dishes. Pak Loh Chiu Chow has been established in Hong Kong for close to 50 years, impressing the city's food lovers with its traditional Chiu Chow specialties. The new menu comprises some of the restaurant's signature dishes that are well-suited for passengers looking to enjoy a light and tasty inflight meal.
Commenting on the new collaboration, Dragonair General Manager Inflight Services Brian Yuen said: "Dragonair is delighted to join hands with Pak Loh Chiu Chow to offer our passengers a range of local Chiu Chow delicacies. Chiu Chow cuisine involves a careful selection of ingredients together with sophisticated cooking techniques. Dragonair and Pak Loh Chiu Chow share the same passion for providing customers with an exceptional dining experience and we believe our passengers will relish this new inflight menu."
The Pak Loh Chiu Chow menu for Dragonair draws on the restaurant's secret recipes and culinary craftsmanship. One of the signature dishes, "Marinated sliced goose meat in Chiu Chow style" uses a rich and fragrant marinade made from the restaurant's own formula that uses premium ingredients such as cinnamon, anise, liquorice, tangerine peel, amomum fruit, bay leaves and galangal.
Nostalgic tastes come courtesy of classics such as "Chiu Chow style congee" and "Chiu Chow style fish ball with rice noodles in soup". The congee, more commonly known as "Teochew opera congee", was often sold around opera theatres in the old days, and the Dragonair version uses a variety of seasonal ingredients including seafood, chicken and vegetables. The Pak Loh Chiu Chow fish ball noodles set is expected to be well-received by passengers as it is light yet delicious, suitable for those preferring a hot dish for breakfast or afternoon tea.
In addition to introducing the new Pak Loh Chiu Chow menu, Dragonair has also added three top-notch wines to the First Class wine list in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the airline. From now until early 2016, Dragonair First Class passengers will be offered a wider selection of wines of Grands Crus Classés en 1855, with the addition of Château La Tour Carnet, Haut-Médoc (2011), Château Gruaud Larose, Saint-Julien (2012) and Château Desmirail, Margaux (2011).
About Pak Loh Chiu Chow
Pak Loh Chiu Chow has been serving authentic Chiu Chow specialties and retaining the traditional tastes of Chiu Chow since 1967. The restaurant group has five branches across Hong Kong and Malaysia, earning customer loyalty through its commitment to providing local Chiu Chow flavours and outstanding customer service. From fish ball with rice noodles to marinated meat, Chiu Chow congee to assorted dim sum, Pak Loh Chiu Chow strives to delight diners with fresh, hand-picked ingredients and innovative recipes. The restaurant's Executive Head Chef Hui Mei-tak has participated in various prestigious cooking competitions and won many top honours, including "2015 World Champion Chef Shanghai – 3rd place" and "Year 2014 Golden Horse Award of China Hotel – Top 100 Master Chef".

Stocks of Yamazaki 10-year-old are running very low
Supplies of Suntory whisky may not be able to meet significantly increased global demand, according to the company's Global Brand Ambassador Hiroyoshi "Mike" Miyamoto.
According to the drink news website The Drinks Business, Miyamoto told a tasting in London last week: "Demand has increased as Suntory has won more and more awards. Whisky takes time and producing it involves a long-term planning strategy. Just because there has been an increase in demand, it doesn't mean we are able to catch up with that straight away."
A combination of significantly increased domestic demand due to the highball boom, an export drive in the US which appears to be gaining some traction, and the enthusiasm generated by the awards Miyamoto mentions is straining supplies.
"We are executing an allocation plan to ensure we can catch up. We are working on allocation by region to ensure that every market is catered for as best as possible in the coming months," he said.
Miyamoto said stocks of Yamazaki 10-year-old were particularly low. That makes sense because 10 years ago, when that whisky was being laid down, was an extremely bleak time for Japanese whisky. About three years of unexpectedly high demand for Kakubin blended whisky for highballs (which would be drawing on sub-10 year old Yamazaki stocks) appears to have eaten into the relatively scanty stocks of Yamazaki.
Miyamoto said he was confident that the distillery will be able to meet global demand by 2012.
This entry is based on this article carried by The Drinks Business.

Interview by Christian Feuerstein '94
Jonathan Rauberts '97 says of his second winter on Antioch's campus, "There were… 100 people on campus. It was like being in a protracted horror movie." Now that Rauberts is a senior art director at Showtime, that background can only come in handy as he designs campaigns for shows such as Dexter. Rauberts talks to The Independent about how viewing things in systems changes the world, accepting people, and more about his work at Showtime.
Who are some professors that really made a difference for you?
Frank Adler [political science] and Dismas Masolo [philosophy]. Both teachers where involved in showing me how to view things in systems. Once you're able to look at things this way, the world changes for you.
What was your favorite co-op? What did you do there?
[My] favorite co-op was actually working for a Mexican bookstore, in Mexico. I learned a lot about how to communicate with people—not so much as language goes, but more with how people interact in non-verbal ways.
Any advice for the current students of the College?
Yes. The most important thing I gained from Antioch was a single skill. That skill was the ability to, in a very deep way, accept people. Even people who I thought [were] horrible or stressful. I learned the ability to accept people has helped me more in life than anything else.
Tell us a little bit about your work at Showtime.
I am a senior art director for broadcast design. Most of what I do has to do with how each season of the programs I work on (Dexter, Homeland) is going to be advertised to people. Basically, I'm explaining to the public—using images and type—how these shows should be digested or anticipated. I do this by designing both the launch spots and teaser campaigns. Then, after that, I design "packaging" for the show.

|Dwight Watson: 2010 LaFollette Lecture
Professor of Theater Dwight Watson presents the 30th Charles D. LaFollette Lecture, "An Abridgement Between Nathaniel Dunn's and the Graveyard."
"There are ghosts in the wood paneling on the stage wall behind me. That's right, ghosts. Some are more evident than others and they usually line up in threes or fours. Found in high and low panels, they are defined by line and shape.
"Some might call them—wood grain. And that, too, is acceptable.
"You see, depending on your creative temperament, academic proclivity, or "possession of the portable rules of the mind," the possibilities that exist between the stage and the audience, provide, at least for me, inspiring prospects."

Test Leader Supplies BERTs, Network Performance Analyzer, and OSA as Part of Interoperability of Transponders and Optical Components for VR Presentation
Anritsu Company announces that it is participating in the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) demonstration on the interoperability of transponders and optical components for Very Long Reach (VR) applications using alternative modulation techniques being conducted at OFC/NFOEC. Anritsu donated its MP1763C 12.5G pulse pattern generator, MP1764D 12.5G error detector, MP1590B network performance analyzer, and MS9710C optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) for the demonstration.
"Anritsu has always been a leader in developing new technologies to advance the optical market. Our participation in the OIF demonstration and the Forum's research is testament to our commitment to the optical marketplace," said Hiroshi Goto, optical marketing manager for Anritsu. "Additionally, as a leader in optical test, we feel that our participation in such a viable industry group is critical to achieving the advances that will help the market grow."
Participants will demonstrate interoperability of an application code for VR links. The OIF, working in conjunction with the ITU-T, SG 15 developed the application code (P1V1-2C2) as part of the ITU-T G.959.1 specification. This VR application code was accepted by the ITU during its February 2006 meeting in Geneva, and is based on alternate modulation techniques supporting transmission through 2400 ps/nm of residual dispersion without regeneration or in-line optical compensation. The application code supports carrier requirements for longer reaches at lower costs and allows for direct upgrade of 2.5 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s VR links.
"The test methodology was derived from the OIF's Transponder Interoperability Implementation Agreement to ensure multi-vendor compatibility," said Karl Gass of Sandia National Laboratories and the OIF Physical Layer Users Working Group chair. "This is an opportunity for component and module suppliers to demonstrate the maturity of a new industry standard."
Anritsu's market-leading MP1763C/MP1764D is the only 12.5G BERT system with the differential inputs, • speed differential outputs, and CDR (Clock/Data Recovery) required for evaluating 4.25G Fibre Channel as well as 10 GbE XAUI and SFI-4P2 devices.
Anritsu's MP1590B is a single-instrument solution for testing SDH/SONET and OTN equipment, as well as measuring Ethernet and IP networks up to 10 GbE. The MS9710C OSA covers a wide wavelength range from 600 nm to 1750 nm, and features high power level accuracy, wide dynamic range, and high reception sensitivity.

This award recognizes alumni who unselfishly give of themselves in service to others. The Colonel Donald G. Cook '56 Award was instituted by former Alumni Association President James. J. Gallagher '51 and is considered the College's highest honor for alumni.
This award is inspired by the example of Colonel Donald G. Cook '56 who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War. As a POW, he "repeatedly assumed more than his share of manual labor in order that the other POWs could improve the state of their health. Colonel Cook willingly and unselfishly put the interest of his comrades before his own well-being and, eventually, his life." A copy of Colonel Cook's Medal of Honor was presented to Saint Michael's College on October 22, 2004 and is displayed in the Pomerleau Alumni Center.
This award is typically bestowed upon recipients during Reunion Weekend and most often when the recipient is celebrating a landmark reunion year. There are no limitations on how soon after graduation an alumnus/a can receive the award.
If you know of an alumnus or alumna who matches the criteria for this award please email firstname.lastname@example.com and tell us who and why he/she deserves consideration.

California Toxic Spill
(before 2003)
Read the story. Click the "LISTEN" button at the bottom of the page to hear the story. When you are done, click the "NEXT" button.
Scientists have been watching chemicals float down the Sacramento River. The spill is 13 miles long. It is heading for Shasta Lake.
They think it will take 45 days for the chemicals to get to the dam. The water in the lake is for drinking and farming. The water with the chemicals in it has killed many fish. It would be very bad for humans to drink.
Some people who live by the river were not told about the chemical spill. They wanted to know why the spill was not stopped before it reached the lake.
Another man wanted to know if the chemicals would cause health problems. The government said that the chemicals that spilled into the water did not harm people right away. This spill may change the way chemicals are checked for safety from now on.
The river is one of California's best places to fish. It may be a while before people come back to fish. It will take a long time for the chemicals to go away.
