Tax-free Monthly Benefit Increases to $105
AC Transit riders can now save up to $500 a year thanks to changes in federal tax law. Beginning January 1, 2005 the maximum benefit for tax-free transit rises to $105 per month. Commuter Check is a "Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefit" under IRS Section 132(f). The law will allow employers to give employees up to $1,260 per year in Commuter Checks as a pre-tax payroll deduction or a tax-free employee benefit. Employers will save more on payroll taxes as well—up to $120 per employee per year.
"After informing our employees about the new cap, people in the office were very excited, frankly. We think it's wonderful and only wished the cap was raised sooner," said Ruth Soderback of Trinity Capital Corporation in San Francisco. "Commuter Checks now offer even larger savings to our employees. The news is especially exciting for those who commute from the East Bay. It's a huge savings for them. Commuter Check allows us to help reduce emissions and assist in saving our environment."
Commuter Check vouchers are vouchers redeemed for transit passes, tickets, and tokens and are accepted by AC Transit and all other transit operators throughout the Bay Area, and vanpools. About 80,000 commuters currently receive Commuter Checks at more than 4,800 Bay Area employers, who have enrolled since 1991.

Newcastle's new loan signing, 34 year-old Shefki Kuqi, has admitted he is honored and proud to be part of Newcastle United through the end of the season.
Shefki Kuqi – flying into Newcastle United
Newcastle announced earlier this morning that Kuqi has signed for Newcastle as a free agent on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
The 34 year-old has played over 500 first class club games, and has close to 150 goals in his career and has represented Finland 62 times.
Shefki will be used as an impact striker for Newcastle, in the remaining 13 league games, and he is a tall and powerful forward, who stands 6'2″ tall, and gives his all in every single game.
The 34-year-old seems honored to have joined such a famous club as Newcastle United, as he told Sky Sports News:
"I got a phone call from my agent last week who said there might be a possibility to go there to Newcastle and when I heard this I was over the moon,"
"In the beginning it was hard to believe, but in the end it all came true." "I don't really have the words to describe how happy I am. To get this chance is a massive thing for me."
"I am just happy to be here now and I can't wait to start and hopefully try to do the best I can for Newcastle United."
"For me, it is a great opportunity just to be back in the Premier League again. It is something I have tasted before."
"Everybody knows it is the best league in the world and to be part of it and a club the size of Newcastle United, I am really proud. It's an honor to be here."
Here's the Sky Sports video of Shefki talking about coming to Newcastle United.
Note: This will be last article for a while today – as I'm off to hospital to have what may be a tricky operation on my right foot, to remove a floating bone spur.
Should be back within six to nine hours, all being well, and since I'll be drugged up with pain medication – if the articles are weird – you know why. 😀

Sad news the FA have, as expected, deleted my BOOM BOOM Cheick Cheick the Room Video. I have one life left after that my account will be deleted so I cant risk making anymore videos.
Thanks for watching.
Id love to start a petition to try and stop the FA from doing this as I feel its wrong. Videos like this should be free to share. It was my creation and is part of our clubs history!
Not sure if it's been posted but find link for dvd of arsenal game
To those calling for youngsters getting a chance up front; who do want to play? I mean since Vickic (really a midfielder) and Airey (16) aren't even fit.
What unknowns supertalents do we have that can do a job? Since I'm living in Norway, I don't get to see the reserves or the U-18s so I don't know.
Hello Mr Komfort@24,
I sincerely hope you are not questioning my professional integrity? There are still some scallywags on this blog who don't see me as the best thing that has happened to this club since Bill McGarry, hard to believe but true!
Listen, sucker, it was always my term aim to get rid of Carroll and replace him with Kuqi, ask Lord Ashley if you don't believe me. His worship the most high Lord thinks it's a great idea, as does Count Llambias, and that's really what matters. And for you rinformation we have similar plans in place for Barton, Enrique, Colo, Jonas and Tiote, so there!! Then we can run the club on £50 pw wages in total and laugh at the new FIFA rules
Must run, more floors to scrub before I get 15 minutes break for sandwiches then another press conference. It's busy, busy, busy as a marionette manager.
who said the youngsters wont get a chance instead of kuqi? and wich youngster are you going to play when all are injuered? lualua, airey and vucic are all out for over a month, best and ranger got knocks against arsenal so only lovenkrands where 100% for the game against bburn. I think its a good move because i rather play kuqi upfront rather than no one, and when our other options on top get back from injury i bet he wont be playing much.
Cockney Mafia Out? PLEASE STOP WITH ALL THAT BS!!!
Guys, you havent even seen Kuqi in a NUFC shirt yet and you are already writing him off? Remember, he's just to add to what we got! Tell me, what other options exactly did we have? Just give the lad a chance, if he comes and gives his all and knocks in a few goals i'll be more then happy.
On another note, just a quick mention for you Ed good luck with the op! Hope all goes well, love this site keep up all the good work!
all right he's not the best but lets lay off him as a group of supporters we are famous for getting behind OUR TEAM no matter what muppet is pulling the strings he is a player now and deserves a break at the end of the day he is a man doing a job give him the benefit of the doubt and a chance to show us what he has got he might be a no name but there is not a queue of so called big names waiting to wear our strip so even if the fat clown allows pardew to spend 35 million who would we get we aint a glamour club anymore despite the support
i agree how many brazillians have done anything in the premier league they are mercenaries after making a fast buck.They play brilliantly in the brazillian league as youngsters, hope to get spotted come to europe on massive wages and with the exception of a few they do nowt as they can't wait to get back home
for the guys that doubted my info yday if you check this site out star management who sam stapleton works for they claim his as 1 of there signings
craigcoozy // Feb 9, 2011 at 9:54 AM
Transfer news i think!! Player arriving today havnt got his name but his agent is sam stapleton!

Toronto transit commission

Author: Tim Cummins
The truth about risk is you either manage it or it puts you out of business. Although no one would argue with this, what to do about it is where opinions start to divide. Some see risk as a hot potato to be passed on as swiftly as possible to the other guy. Within organizations risk may be seen as something best left to the professionals. Others see risk and its management as a shared condition of doing business.
How much better would it be if the "in it together" concept could reach beyond just risk and include all the realities of trading relationships - the smooth as well as the rough?
We have seen that parties that construct and manage their trading relationships in a harmonious way, aligning their contracts to create targeted value, not only improve performance but also bottom line results. In challenging sectors where businesses struggle to manage trading relationships that are increasingly diverse, complex and volatile, and where such a bottom-up approach may not be practical or feasible, the relational approach is becoming a vital lifeline.
It follows that being able to recognise the advantages of shared determination to improve the performance and the bottom line – and achieving it – is a strong indication of organizational capacity to achieve a culture of commercial excellence2 across all its dimensions, with all the other benefits it brings.
The success of this overall approach and the central role of contracting within it, may also explain the growing "buzz" around the commercial side of our profession and a new proactive take on the concept of commercial excellence. This commercially proactive approach is where our profession excels, actively finding solutions to risk and supporting dynamic decision-making at the front-end of the business.
Though it is not new, it is a trend that is rapidly gaining ground, with a commercially focused approach reflected in organizational design, for example, within the pharmaceutical industry where we are seeing the emergence of "commercial excellence" executives and functions.
Beyond doubt is that change is occurring at an ever-faster pace. Rather than change being a problem, it allows us to re-think our role and purpose, together with the ways we perform; for contracting this means thinking less about control and more about enabling, with greater awareness of the commercial implications.
We have said that proactivity, commercial judgment and the ability to share information and knowledge are key skills for professionals working in our field today. But there is still a very wide spectrum of difference in perception of the role and its purpose – and the debate about the difference between a contract manager and a commercial manager continues!

- "The Oculus's existence is known only to the High Council, including its greatest secret: the Oculus not only gives us a window into time, but the ability to shape it as we see fit."
- —Time Master Zaman Druce[src]
The Oculus was a complex device, used by the Time Masters to predict the "true" timeline, and manipulate the events outside of the Vanishing Point, creating an illusion that every single action of those beyond the Vanishing Point was predestined to happen.
The Oculus was a complex device located in the Oculus Wellspring, described by Gideon as located "at the far side of the Vanishing Point". Aside from the device itself, surrounded by a literal wellspring of green energy, Oculus Wellspring included a number of structures, connected to the headquarters of the Time Masters.[1] According to Professor Stein, the Oculus was essentially a massive, temporal computer powered by a scaled-down supernova, the source of the green energy cascades surrounding it.
The connection to the Oculus allowed anybody who used the Oculus Viewing Chamber to see the events as they were "predestined" to happen. According to Time Master Zaman Druce this allowed the time traveling organization to predict and control every action of Rip Hunter's team, including Rip Hunter's own rebellion against the order. However, it seemed that the Time Masters had to take careful steps in ensuring that the "true" timeline would happen, as Druce had to specifically order Vandal Savage to kill Rip Hunter's family. Oculus also "predicted" Ray Palmer's death in the Vanishing Point, although it supposedly could not affect the Vanishing Point at all, and, due to the choices of Mick Rory and Leonard Snart, Ray's death was averted.[1]
After incarcerating the members of Rip Hunter's team at the Vanishing Point, Druce decided to make sure that Rip Hunter understands the Time Masters' reasons for supporting Vandal Savage before the execution. Druce claimed that the Time Masters manipulated every single action of Rip Hunter thanks to the Oculus device, "knowing" that he would never defeat Vandal Savage. The reason for supporting Savage was the invasion of Earth by an alien race, the Thanagarians, that the Time Masters observed happening in 2175. According to Druce, the only timeline where the planet would be saved from the aliens was the one where Vandal Savage has taken over the world, uniting it to stand as one against the invaders. Using the Oculus, the Time Masters manipulated different events throughout the timeline to ensure this outcome.[1]
After Leonard Snart, Sara Lance and Mick Rory freed their teammates from captivity, they have formulated a plan to sabotage Oculus, "cutting off their puppet strings" and ensuring that the Time Masters won't be able to further manipulate timeline in favor of Vandal Savage. The team's mission was successful, as the incoming explosion destroyed the Oculus device, along with many of the structures around it in the Vanishing Point, though at the cost of Snart's life. A surviving Time Master informed Savage that the Oculus' destruction had unmoored time itself, thus ensuring that the Thanagarian invasion may or may not happen as well as the Time Masters' alterations to the timeline having been undone.[1]

Weyfest 2017 – NextFest Preview
18th – 20th August sees Surrey's Weyfest heading back to Tilford's Rural Life Centre for its 11th festival. The event prides itself on being a 'cut above the rest', and cite fine foods, ales, wines, ciders, craft lagers and beers, champagne, and cocktails as the reason why.
Not content with blowing all these other mucky festivals out of the water with their opulent food and drink, they also suggest that their amazingly posh toilets are going to keep you happy all weekend, as well as a fantastic camping area, superior sound quality from each of their four stages, and beautiful country woodland.
There will be lots to do at the festival for everyone, with children very well catered for in terms of attractions. There is an RC race track, laser-quest, musical instrument lessons, as well as the usual face painting and children's entertainers. The grown-ups are well catered for also, as they have all of the boozy fun mentioned above to look forward to, alongside massages and other pleasantries.
The headliners are pretty phenomenal as well. Friday sees the almighty Buzzcocks providing all present with "…teenage kicks, all through the night…" (jeez…we're so sorry, couldn't resist a terrible pun). Saturday you'll be resurecting love with Alison Moyet, and then squeezing (hopefully you cottoned on to that one…) into Sunday's headline spot you have Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra. So as you see, there'll be loads to be getting on with from a sonic perspective.
But what of the other artists playing? Weyfest prides itself (aside from its poshness) on the wealth of established and up-and-coming acts that feature on their roster. Rightly so. They've pulled out all the stops to feature some outstanding acts.
You've got Stereo MCs playing on the Saturday, and who doesn't love a bit of those 80s UK hip-hoppers? Best known for their 1992 smash hit single, Connected, the hip-hop/house hybrid group can really pull up a groove and know exactly what they're doing when it comes to live performance.
Also playing are the mighty Dub Pistols, who were one of the pioneering acts of the UK big beat era electronic music. Similar to Stereo MCs, in that they combine musical styles to perfection, expertly melding dub, hip-hop, and electronica. The result being the release of something really quite almighty from the speaker stack. Having collaborated with the likes of JME and Rodney P, you know you'll be in for a hell of a ride as the Dub Pistols fire shot after shot straight off the top of your dome.

Anything new on the MASS sighting july last year around China's Purple Mountain Observatory?
(I'm sure some of you remember) video/photographs were taken by many people for a duration of 40 minutes, and scientist working on it said they needed 12 months to come a conclusion.
Well, it's been a year and what do we see?
Another sighting that ends up with an airport closing, but still, nothing!
May 29, 2009
Do you think that the USA pressured China into keeping this news secret ... I did see a Chinese tv news report where the reporter said that Obama was going to make a disclosure statement but, the report was from 2011 I think and still no statements. I saw a print report that the head scientist at the Observatory said we are not alone and that these ships travel at something like 80% the speed of light, that they are on R&D missions and that some of the craft are piloted by robots and they have no aggressive intentions. I don't know how he knows these things, I don't even know for sure that both the reports are legit but that's all I've been able find so far. Like you I'm very interested in seeing that 40 minutes of " ... exceptional quality ..." footage!

It never seems to occur to "True Believers" that sometimes there are no disclosures because there is literally nothing to disclose.
Or, at least, nothing you "True Believers" want to hear
http://www.lifeslittlemysteries.com/155 ... ucers.html
July 26, 2010
addendum to my above posting:
It should not be inferred that I accept the link I gave above as the ultimate guide to truth regarding ufos. For example they quote the idiotic pelican explanation for the Kenneth Arnold sighting ignoring (or just plain ignorant OF) the fact that there was another witness to that sighting.
permit me to quote Dr Bruce Maccabee:
"Fred Johnson, resident of) First Avenue, Portland (Oregon), reported without consulting any records that on June 24, 1947, while prospecting at a point in the Cascade Mountains approximately five thousand feet from sea level, during the afternoon he noticed a reflection, looked up, and saw a disc proceeding in a southeasterly direction. Immediately upon sighting this object he placed his telescope to his eye and observed the disc for approximately forty-five to sixty seconds. He remarked that it is possible for him to pick up an object at a distance of ten miles with his telescope. At the time the disc was sighted by Johnson it was banking in the sun, and he observed five or six similar objects but only concentrated on one. He related that they did not fly in any particular formation and that he would estimate their height to be about one thousand feet from where he was standing. He said the object was about thirty feet in diameter and appeared to have a tail. It made no noise.
According to Johnson he remained in the vicinity of the Cascades for several days and then returned to Portland and noted an article in the local paper which stated in effect that a man in Boise, Idaho, had sighted a similar object but that authorities had disclaimed any knowledge of such an object. He said he communicated with the Army for the sole purpose of attempting to add credence to the story furnished by the man in Boise.
Johnson also related that on the occasion of his sighting the objects on June 24, 1947 he had in his possession a combination compass and watch. He noted particularly that immediately before he sighted the disc the compass acted very peculiar, the hand waving from one side to the other, but that this condition corrected itself immediately after the discs had passed out of sight.
Informant appeared to be a very reliable individual who advised that he had been a prospector in the states of Montana, Washington and Oregon for the past forty years.
Mr. Johnson's letter to the Air Force indicates that he was in the right area at the right time to see the objects which Arnold reported. Johnson, like Arnold, reported that his attention was attracted to them by a reflection, possibly a flash of light on the rocks he was examining. He reported only five or six, but it is likely that he missed seeing the others as he concentrated on his telescopic view of a single one. (Also, he was recalling the event almost two months after it occurred, so he may well have forgotten some details, such as the exact number of objects.) He thought they were only about 1,000 ft above his altitude of about 5,000 ft. Adding his estimated distance of the objects above him, 1,000 ft, to his estimated altitude, 5,000 ft, yields an altitude for the UFOs, about 6,000 ft, which is consistent with the altitude indicated by Arnold's claim that they were traveling "in and out" of the mountain peaks south of Mt. Rainier. On the other hand, Arnold also said that, from his point of view, the objects seemed to be climbing as they passed Mt. Adams. He thought that they might even have been a bit higher than Mt. Adams which is about 12,000 ft high.
Johnson claimed that he watched one disc for 45 to 60 seconds. Assuming that they were traveling at the speed calculated previously, about 1,700 mph, in 45 seconds they would travel about 20 miles. Although it may have been possible that Johnson could see the objects over a distance of 20 miles from his location, it seems more likely that he saw them for less time. However, even if it were only for 30 seconds with his telescope, we may assume that he was able to discern many details that Arnold couldn't see, such as the point on the front and the "tail" waving side to side "like a big magenet" in the rear. (Here I presume Johnson is comparing it with the magnetic needle in a compass which swings left and right before reaching equilibrium.) He claimed that the objects were "round" and also "oval," thus generally agreeing with Arnold's description of nearly round objects (certainly they they weren't square or triangular or T shaped) and he estimated that they were 30 ft in diameter, a value that is smaller than Arnold's estimate and smaller than the previously calculated value, suggesting that Johnson underestimated the size. (If he underestimated the distance above him he could also be likely to underestimate the size, since the size estimate is based on the angular size - the visually "apparent" size - and the estimated distance.) He also stated that the speed was "greater than anything I ever saw", which is consistent with the speed calculated from Arnold's sighting. He heard no noise. He observed that while the objects were in sight the needle of his compass waved from side to side. The waving stopped after the objects were out of sight.
The last statement in Johnson's letter provides important confirmation of Arnold's claim that he was able to see flashes of sunlight reflected from the objects. In the previous discussion of Arnold's sighting I pointed out that for the objects to reflect sun toward Arnold it would be necessary for some portion of each shiny object to tilt at least to an angle of about 60 degrees. The idea that the objects could tilt that much is supported by Johnson's claim that when he last saw the objects they were "standing on edge" while "banking in a cloud."
Aside from the apparent confirmation of Arnold's sighting, Johnson's sighting is unique as being the first to include a report of a physical effect during sighting (the apparent effect on the needle of his compass). This observation has led to calculations of the assumed magnetic field strength needed to affect a compass in this way from a distance of 1,000 ft or more. The resulting field strengths are immense. (If Fred Johnson's compass was affected by a magnetic field of a "flying saucer" at a distance of thousands of feet, then the magnetic field was positively huge, being equivalent to having an electric current of tens of megamp-turns flowing in a loop 10 or more meters in diameter. Such large fields could be produced in a reasonable way by using superconducting wire)."
Whatever Arnold saw...it wasn't pelicans, folks. And none of the other
debunker theories fit either. Hynek (and Blue Book) accepted Johnson's sighting as authentic. Only Menzel claimed to explain that what Johnson saw was "clouds moving" but he doesn't mention that Johnson's sighting is confirmed by Arnold. Why? Because that facts makes his explanation bogus.
But we know Menzel...he was a disinformation agent for the government...it was his job to confuse the facts and lie himself blue in the face. And, mostly, he did it well.
Well enough, anyway.
It is a sad fact that MOST UFO sightings ARE explainable and only someone with a desperate need to believe would ignore the natural explanations.

last comment first , " on the other hand " fascinating events.
might want to google ' heliotrope signaling ' ( heliograph)
devices were mirrors mounted in manual rotational devices set on a wooden box or tripod mounted, that reflected sunlight. they were used for remote surveying, (miners) and 'signal' communications ( military). location : mountain tops , ridges at or near elavation. in use ; 1800-mid 1900(s)
( primitive tech sometimes best) device w/ mirror ,was turned to reflect
sunlight (not unlike a laser pointer) and utilized to triangulate
given point(s)
I came across remnants / location marker rocks, base... while hiking in the
great basin ,Nevada - elevation aprox 12000 + Mtn.wheeler (collate w/ their elevation.) no tech. climb here. ( hike up)
the descriptions / comparison, might have significance - reflecting light - ridge line- movement etc...they both were in/near mountain ranges in remote areas at the time. Arnold and the miner were in a state and time frame that these devices were in use. mid 50s WA - (Oregon maybe.)
cloud cover and frequent unpredictable rain storms could further
obfuscate their perceptions.
I theorize, they may have seen heliotropic/graph ,signal mirrors in action .
[the compass going bonzo is not uncommon in areas of large deposits of iron ore
( hematite-the mineral) pyrite . the area I was hiking, had several mines
dug by early pioneers searching for gold .]
you might be thinking what were they viewing ? ufos ? the mirrior ? actual reflections? or, the 'projected sunlight', playfully dancing among mtn peaks , ridges ,and rock formations ... thanks for a interesting topic.

SC -- agreed and this is a good point also ... i do see and value your view on this but then while i know it would not satisfy the 'rabid believer', shouldn't they at least then have a disclosure that it was 'something else' ... or nothing ... while i know by not disclosing or disclosing it was nothing that the 'rabid believer' will always say 'cover up', those of us 'true' but not 'rabid' would be able to evaluate it on our own 🙂
good points to all SC 🙂
take care 🙂

My only regret is I wish we would've started with your Storefront instead of the other system we were using. Your team had me up and running within a month and continue to respond quickly to my inquiries. Recently, I had five individual mailings to process and I was amazed that it took me less than one hour to get them all in the system and get proofs. Any other process would have taken me most of the day to get to the proofing stage!

Markets are higher this morning after the FOMC statement was more dovish than people had feared. Bonds and MBS are flat
The Consumer Price Index rose .4% in May, slightly below expectations. Ex-food and energy, it rose 0.1%. On a year-over-year basis, the CPI is flat, while the core index is up 1.7%. Inflation remains below the Fed's target.
Initial Jobless Claims fell to 267,000 last week, another strong number. Real average weekly wages increased 2.3%.
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index rose to 40.9 from 40.1 last week, while the Philly Fed index rose to 15.2 and the Index of Leading Economic Indicators was flat at 0.7%.
The FOMC statement was pretty much non-eventful, as was the press conference. The action was in the projection materials and the revised economic forecasts. As expected, the Fed took down its forecast for 2015 GDP growth to a range of 1.8% – 2.0% versus 2.3% – 2.7%. The Fed has been consistently high in its estimates for GDP growth ever since the crisis. It is almost as if they are trying to shoehorn an post asset bubble economy into a garden-variety Fed-driven recession model. Unemployment was taken up as well, from a range of 5.0%-5.2% to 5.2%-5.3%. We will have to wait until the minutes come out to understand the rationale there. Inflation is still expected to come in around .7%. Overall, the economy is still fragile and the Fed wants to take it slow.
The dot graph lowered the median projection for the Fed Funds rate to .7% from .9% at the March FOMC meeting, and the trajectory of interest rates is expected to be lower.
The CFPB is delaying the deadline for TRID until October, in order to give the industry a little more time. Sounds like the industry lobbied for this extension pretty hard.
We are getting a woman on the $10 bill by 2020. Jack Lew is asking for suggestions. Of course no one will be using cash anymore by 2020 anyway, and you can put whoever you want on the wallpaper on your phone…

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis is a common complaint amongst women after Breast Surgery (unilateral or bilateral mastectomy, with or without breast implants). After a mastectomy, patients may experience tightness emanating from the surgery site as the result of scar tissue which can cause pain and restrict the range of motion in the arm and shoulder.
Frozen shoulder is the inflammation of the capsule which surrounds the shoulder joint. This causes thickening in the joint which leads to stiffness of the shoulder. This syndrome can develop after Breast Surgery for various reasons such as trauma from the surgery, post‐operative pain (especially if not well managed), hyper vigilance, fear avoidance and underlying predisposing factors (perimenopausal, diabetes and certain medication e.g. Crestor)
Symptoms that may be experienced are pain and a loss of range of motion of the shoulder joint. Although the normal sequelae of frozen shoulder can be long, prognosis appears to be better in most patients who develop frozen shoulder post breast surgery. The risk for developing frozen shoulder can be greatly reduced by gently mobilising the shoulder joint post operatively.
Treatment options for the frozen shoulder includes exercises, physiotherapy, cortisone injections, NSAIDS (non steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs), manipulation under anaesthetic and arthroscopic (keyhole) debridement.
Post‐operative protocols vary depending on the surgery. For that reason it is of utmost importance that you communicate with your surgeon as to what she/he allows you to do. If you are experiencing severe pain in your shoulder, including at rest, at night or with sudden movements, inform your surgeon so that he can refer you to a physiotherapist with a special interest in frozen shoulder or post breast surgery patients.
How to manage activities of daily living:
Try using your arm for all normal activities of daily living e.g. washing, dressing and eating, but avoid strenuous activities such as picking up heavy objects, housework or intense exercise until the stitches are removed or your surgeon or physiotherapist, advises you otherwise.
The exercises in the first few weeks are there to gently move the shoulder, in a pain free range of motion, to prevent complication. Strengthening exercises will only start from six weeks post breast surgery, once the drains and stitches are out. Often this decision may be made between the physiotherapist and the surgeon.
It is normal to feel a gentle stretch while doing your exercises. All exercises must be pain free. If you develop any abnormal symptom such as dizziness, shortness of breath, contact your doctor.

LinkedIn Introduces New "Sponsored Updates"Association of Strategic Marketing
July 25, 2013 — 1,535 views
LinkedIn recently announced in a blog post that it will be rolling out a new feature called Sponsored Updates. The feature is being hailed as a way to increase the useful content available to users on the site. Currently, content comes from approximately 1.5 million publishers, 300 notable professionals known as Influencers, and about 3 million company pages.
The downside to the current arrangement is that the content will only be seen by users that are already connected to the publisher. Sponsored Updates will allow companies to build new relationships by reaching users who are not currently following them. With today's marketing moving beyond simple ads to useful information such as slideshows, articles, videos, and whitepapers, LinkedIn believes its users will receive more content that they are already looking for.
The Sponsored Updates will be visible on both desktop and mobile devices. They will be mixed in with other organic updates such as a user's connection having a new job title. Each Sponsored Update will have a tag distinguishing it from the other posts. Users will have the option to comment on each post, like it, or share it within their network. Most importantly from the marketing standpoint, they will also be able to begin following the company.
Sponsored Updates are being rolled out in two waves. Companies that currently have an account representative will be the first to get to use the new feature. It will be available to all companies with a company page by the end of the month. Once fully launched, Sponsored Updates will be available to companies in 200 countries, and they will be able to be posted in 20 different languages.
Pricing will be available on a per-click or per-impression basis. To help determine which one is most effective and if the overall campaign is meeting the company's goals, detailed analytical reports will be available with real time data.
A few large companies are already among the early adopters. Adobe has sought to establish itself as a leader in digital marketing and digital media. They have found that marketing decision makers who have seen their updates are significantly more likely to view the company as a leader. Telstra, a telecom company, has sought to increase its standing among Australian professionals and has already seen a 12% increase in the rate at which they attract new followers. HubSpots's marketing software has also seen gains, with a 400% increase in leads from small and mid-sized businesses over their current channels.
Although users may be wary of anything that seems like advertising and the potential for spam, the program will likely solidify its position as a network for professionals. With LinkedIn's serious, professional atmosphere, most companies will probably take great care to carefully target their ads to users that would be truly interested and avoid damaging their reputation by sending low quality content to a network full of decision makers. LinkedIn has also had the dilemma of most social network sites of how to monetize the site to keep it running, and this new income stream will help guarantee long-term stability.

Florida Real Estate: Appeals Court Rules on Seller Disclosure
Posted by Benjamin Dona on Friday, December 9th, 2011 at 5:33pm.
Once again, a Florida Appeals Court has upheld the current standard for seller disclosure requirements that apply to Florida real estate transactions. Citing the landmark disclosure case, Johnson vs. Davis, the appeal court found that the law requires a seller to "actually" know about a problem in order to be held liable for a material defect.
While sellers are obligated to disclose known defects that materially affect the value of the property and that are hidden or unknown to the buyer, the case at hand focused on whether a seller can be held liable for not disclosing a material defect they "should have known" about. The original trial court in the case used the "should have known" standard and awarded damages to the buyer even though no evidence presented suggested that the sellers actually knew about the defects prior to the sale.
The court of appeal reversed that decision and reaffirmed the existing disclosure standard: a buyer must prove that a seller had actual knowledge of an undisclosed material defect to successfully pursue the matter in court.
The bottom line in all this is "always disclose what you know" when selling and "always get a professional home inspection" as part of the buying process.

Paying up front for a home inspection is much more preferable to an expensive drawn-out fight in court.

Yes, that makes sense. I mean, seriously, how could someone be responsible for something they didn't know...and how do you draw the line on what they should have known. I think this is really about intent to deceive and if they didn't know, they shouldn't be responsible.
Posted on Saturday, December 10th, 2011 at 11:07am.
This seems like common sense. People should only be responsible for what they actually know. How can anyone decide what you should have known?
Posted on Sunday, December 11th, 2011 at 2:35pm.
I agree, this is just common sense. Otherwise there would be lawsuits galore with the "well they should have known" defense.

This is to ensure that the 9.4 million people around the world who are unaware of their HIV-positive status can access treatment and that people who are HIV-negative can continue to protect themselves against the virus.
A new diagnostic test for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis is being rolled out by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) across the Western Pacific region, to reach the most vulnerable populations with vital sexual and reproductive health services.
In the Western Pacific, geographic isolation significantly hinders testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Most HIV and STI cases are detected during health care visits using laboratory-based diagnostic testing, yet populations are often scattered across a multitude of remote small islands, many with either limited or no access at all to clinical health services.
People are often forced to travel great distances to seek testing, treatment and care. Test turnaround times can be lengthy, requiring patients to return on a separate date for test results, resulting in substantial loss to follow-up.
Laboratory-based testing is particularly challenging with key populations (men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers and people who use drugs). They face stigma and discrimination as well as legal and social barriers, further hindering their access to health services.
Rapid diagnostic tests that enable testing to be conducted at the point of care using finger prick blood or serum, such as the Standard Diagnostics Bioline HIV/syphilis (or SD Duo) test are well suited to address these circumstances. They require no sophisticated equipment and can be performed in remote locations.
Following an initial pilot project implemented by UNDP in 2017, the SD Duo test has now been implemented in the Cook Islands.
Through the Global Fund the Ministry of Health has conducted HIV and syphillis tests on Mauke, Mangaia and Mitiaro using the SD Duo test kits. Te Tiare Association members were also tested.

Great Expectations - Dickens Ch.
Download (direct link):
"Is this a cut?" said Mr. Drummle.
"Oh!" said I, poker in hand; "it's you, is it? How do you do? I was wondering who it was, who kept the fire off."
With that, I poked tremendously, and having done so, planted myself side by side with Mr. Drummle, my shoulders squared and my back to the fire.
"You have just come down?" said Mr. Drummle, edging me a little away with his shoulder.
"Yes," said I, edging him a little away with my shoulder.
"Beastly place," said Drummle. "Your part of the country, I think?"
"Yes," I assented. "I am told it's very like your Shropshire."
"Not in the least like it," said Drummle.
Here Mr. Drummle looked at his boots and I looked at mine, and then Mr. Drummle looked at my boots, and I looked at his.
"Have you been here long?" I asked, determined not to yield an inch of the fire.
"Long enough to be tired of it," returned Drummle, pretending to yawn, but equally determined.
"Do you stay here long?"
"Can't say," answered Mr. Drummle. "Do you?"
"Can't say," said I.
I felt here, through a tingling in my blood, that if Mr. Drummle's shoulder had claimed another hair's breadth of room, I should have jerked him into the window; equally, that if my own shoulder had urged a similar claim, Mr. Drummle would have jerked me into the nearest box. He whistled a little. So did I.
"Large tract of marshes about here, I believe?" said Drummle.
"Yes. What of that?" said I.
Mr. Drummle looked at me, and then at my boots, and then said, "Oh!" and laughed.
"Are you amused, Mr. Drummle?"
"No," said he, "not particularly. I am going out for a ride in the saddle. I mean to explore those marshes for amusement.
Outoftheway villages there, they tell me. Curious little publichousesand smithiesand that. Waiter!"
"Yes, sir."
"Is that horse of mine ready?"
"Brought round to the door, sir."
"I say. Look here, you sir. The lady won't ride today; the weather won't do."
"Very good, sir."
"And I don't dine, because I'm going to dine at the lady's."
"Very good, sir."
Then, Drummle glanced at me, with an insolent triumph on his greatjowled face that cut me to the heart, dull as he was, and so exasperated me, that I felt inclined to take him in my arms (as the robber in the storybook is said to have taken the old lady) and seat him on the fire.
One thing was manifest to both of us, and that was, that until relief came, neither of us could relinquish the fire. There we stood, well squared up before it, shoulder to shoulder and foot to foot, with our hands behind us, not budging an inch. The horse was visible outside in the drizzle at the door, my breakfast was put on the table, Drummle's was cleared away, the waiter invited me to begin, I nodded, we both stood our ground.
"Have you been to the Grove since?" said Drummle.
"No," said I, "I had quite enough of the Finches the last time I was there."
"Was that when we had a difference of opinion?"
"Yes," I replied, very shortly.
"Come, come! They let you off easily enough," sneered Drummle. "You shouldn't have lost your temper."
"Mr. Drummle," said I, "you are not competent to give advice on that subject. When I lose my temper (not that I admit having done so on that occasion), I don't throw glasses."
"I do," said Drummle.
After glancing at him once or twice, in an increased state of smouldering ferocity, I said,"Mr. Drummle, I did not seek this conversation, and I don't think it an agreeable one."
"I am sure it's not," said he, superciliously over his shoulder; "I don't think anything about it."
"And therefore," I went on, "with your leave, I will suggest that we hold no kind of communication in future."
"Quite my opinion," said Drummle, "and what I should have suggested myself, or donemore likelywithout suggesting. But don't lose your temper. Haven't you lost enough without that?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Waiter!," said Drummle, by way of answering me.
The waiter reappeared.
"Look here, you sir. You quite understand that the young lady don't ride today, and that I dine at the young lady's?"
"Quite so, sir!"
When the waiter had felt my fastcooling teapot with the palm of his hand, and had looked imploringly at me, and had gone out, Drummle, careful not to move the shoulder next me, took a cigar from his pocket and bit the end off, but showed no sign of stirring. Choking and boiling as I was, I felt that we could not go a word further, without introducing Estella's name, which I could not endure to hear him utter; and therefore I looked stonily at the opposite wall, as if there were no one present, and forced myself to silence. How long we might have remained in this ridiculous position it is impossible to say, but for the incursion of three thriving farmerslaid on by the waiter, I thinkwho came into the coffeeroom unbuttoning their greatcoats and rubbing their hands, and before whom, as they charged at the fire, we were obliged to give way.

This morning's key headlines from GenerationalDynamics.com
- Thailand shocked by 13 bombings in five southern provinces
- Any of Thailand's three major ethnic groups could be the perpetrators
Thailand shocked by 13 bombings in five southern provinces

Thailand is on high alert following a total of 13 bombing incidents that killed four people and injured 35 others in five southern provinces between Wednesday and Friday morning. The bombings occurred at beach resorts in southern Thailand. Four people were killed and 35 others, including foreign tourists, were injured.
The characteristics of the bombings were significantly different from those usually perpetrated by jihadist groups linked to al-Qaeda or the so-called Islamic State (IS or ISIS or ISIL or Daesh).
Instead of being suicide bombings, they were improvised explosive devices (IEDs) triggered remotely by a mobile phone signal. Some analysts are saying that they were low-explosive devices detonated in times and places so that they would cause the enormous casualties that typical ISIS bombings do.
Thus, it is believed that the bombings were perpetrated by a domestic group with the objective of damaging Thailand's tourist industry, which accounts for about 10% of the country's GDP. Bangkok Post and CNN
Any of Thailand's three major ethnic groups could be the perpetrators
Map of southern Thailand showing sites of the bombings (CNN)
There are three major demographic groups in Thailand, and any one of the three could be responsible for the bombings.
The two we've been writing about most in the last few years are competing for political power.
The "yellow shirt" market-dominant light-skinned Thai-Chinese elite minority live mostly in central Thailand around Bangkok. They're a "market-dominant minority," meaning that even though they're a minority, they control most of the money and businesses in the country, especially in wealthy Bangkok.
The "red shirt" dark-skinned Thai-Thai live in rural areas in northern and northeastern Thailand. Many are farmers, but they also do most of the menial labor that the elites don't want to do, while they vastly outnumber the yellow shirt Thai-Chinese elite. The Thai-Thai are represented by the Pheu Thai political party, which has won the last five elections because of their majority. The yellow shirts used a variety of techniques, from violent protests to army coups, to overturn these elections. The Thai-Thai hero Thaksin Shinawatra was prime minister until 2006, when an army coup forced him out of office, and he now lives in exile in Dubai. His sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, then took his place and became prime minister in 2011, until the Constitutional Court forced her to step down by finding her guilty of abusing her power.
Incidentally, my favorite story in this saga occurred in December 2008. ( "Thailand government collapses, ending crippling riots from class war".) A Thaksin ally, Samak Sundaravej, had been elected prime minister. After violent protests by the yellow shirts, he was forced to step down, because a court removed him from office because he had had a cooking show on tv, and that was somehow considered a conflict of interest. You just can't make this stuff up.
Thailand's army seized power in May 2014, presumably in a victory for the yellow shirts, to prevent another Thai-Thai political victory. Then, just last week, a referendum in Thailand approved a new constitution put forth by the military, in a campaign in which it was against the law to campaign against the referendum, and one could be jailed for doing so. So, not surprisingly, the referendum passed. According to analysts, the new constitution is designed to keep the Thai-Thai political party from winning the next election, so that the elites will remain in power.
So a group of red shirt or yellow shirt activists could be the perpetrators of the bombings of the last three days. Both groups have expressed opposition to the constitution that was just approved, and both groups have used protests to shut down Bangkok's business and retail district, in order to damage the Thai economy.
The third possible perpetrators are the separatist Malay insurgents, living in southern Thailand, in the geographic region where the bombings actually took place. Thailand is primarily Buddhist, but the southern portion of the country, bordering Malaysia, is Muslim. An Islamist insurgency began in the south in 2004, and repeated terrorist attacks have killed thousands.
According to one analyst, one of the towns chosen for the bombings Hua Hin may have been chosen because there's a large community of retirees from Europe living there, giving the bombings a maximum international significance. Hua Hin is also the Thai king's favorite residence outside of Bangkok.
Thailand's last generational crisis war was the 1970s "killing fields" war of Cambodia, the country next door, putting both countries into a generational Awakening-Unraveling era. All three of these groups — the Buddhist Thai-Chinese and Thai-Thai, and the Muslim Malays — are displaying typical behaviors for these eras, including peaceful protests that turn violent. The army is also using typical behaviors that we've seen in other countries, including Bangladesh, Burundi, Syria, Zimbabwe, and others, by using both political means and violence. The pattern will continue with increasing protests, riots and violence by protest groups, with the army will respond with increasing political repression and violence, with a continuing cycle of violence that can last for decades before another ethnic war breaks out.

Over 200 entrepreneurs and startup founders will meet Modi on Thursday and talk about ease of doing business, growth and job creation.
Founders from several sectors such as education, finance, health, etc met on Wednesday and charted out a plan. Modi, too, joined them for an informal interaction over dinner.
The gathering was organised by Niti Ayog under its two-day 'Champions of Change' programme.
The entrepreneurs interacted with ministers and top officials including secretaries from various ministries and departments on various issues concerning their sectors and challenges facing the country. "The system is today geared to drive change. Decision-making too has become far more efficient," finance minister

September 29 to October 15, 2018
We are home from another great trip to BC to visit the kids and grandkids. The weather can be iffy this time of year and when we left, we had snow and cold in Manitoba. It continued snowy and cold while we were away, but we managed to get through the Rockies before the snow hit there. And the weather on the other side, in British Columbia, was grand.
We had a visit on the way to BC with my sister Sheila; our New Zealand friend Stevie and cousins Adrian, Pam and Alexa.
We spent the first week in Kamloops with Kelsey, Matt, Jacob and Nora.
Wow, Nora is 1 years old already. What a sweetheart, and tough as nails. She has to be with big brother Jacob around.
And Jacob is getting big and strong. He was eager to show off his superpowers.
Lately, Jacob is into hiking and Baba and Gigi were very happy to get out and enjoy the nice fall weather with the kids.
For Thanksgiving weekend, Christopher, Emily and Astrid joined us in Kamloops. We celebrated Jacob's 3rd birthday one week early so that Astrid could be part of it.
The grandkids are growing up so fast. Jacob is now 3, Astrid is 2 and Nora is 1. Interesting ages as they are beginning to interact with each other. They had a blast playing in the leaves, racing with the baby walkers, jumping on the couch cushions and learning to share.
After Thanksgiving we followed Christopher, Emily and Astrid back to Vancouver for a few days visit.
Astrid stayed home from daycare so that Baba and Gigi could spend some time with her. One day we visited Science World. Its just a short walk from their apartment so we were able to visit in the morning, go home for lunch and a nap, and return for the afternoon. We spent all morning in the toddler room, and the afternoon visiting other exhibits.
The second day, Astrid helped Gigi put up shelves for kitchen staples and we spent the afternoon at the playground.
We returned to Kamloops for a few more days, celebrating Kelsey's birthday as well Jacob's actual birthday with a trip to Paul Lake and a weiner roast.
As a birthday present to Kelsey and Matt, who both have their birthday's in October, Gigi and Jacob put up a cedar ceiling in the bathroom.
We also took a drive to the Shuswap to view the salmon run at Adams River. This was the dominant year in their four year cycle. It was amazing to see but also sad how much our salmon stocks have depleted. I can only imagine what the run would have been like a couple hundred years ago. They estimate of the 4000 eggs layed by the female salmon, only 2 survive to return to spawn. Considering the female has a male partner to fertilize the eggs, that's just break even, two for two.
Along with witnessing the awesomeness of the salmon run, we got to enjoy the raw natural beauty of the Tsútswecw Provincial Park.
We took Hwy 5 through Jasper and Edmonton on the way back. Loved that drive. Nice scenery without the hair-raising mountain cliffs. Just outside the town of Jasper, we stopped to watch 6 elk grazing on the roadside. As a bonus, we got to stop in Edmonton and visit with my Aunt Shirley and Uncle Mike and a stop in Saskatoon for a visit with my brother Glenn.

Hollywood's biggest night will honor one of its very own stars.
The 2020 Oscars are only a couple of weeks away, but that doesn't mean there isn't room to add something new to the telecast. E! News can confirm that the Academy will pay tribute to the late Kobe Bryant, who was killed in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26 in Calabasas, Calif.
He and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant, were two of nine people who passed away due to the incident, which is still under investigation.
As fans of the Lakers legend might recall, Kobe earned an Oscar Award in 2018 for Best Animated Short Film. The movie, which was titled Dear Basketball, was based on a poem he wrote to announce his retirement from the NBA.
The short film was directed and animated by Glen Keane, who is best known for his work on The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and many others.

The Hole in Your Heart
Thousands of people come to me after the loss of a loved one has left them paralyzed by grief. Many want a sign or direct connection to help them know their loved one in spirit is okay and at peace. I tell everyone that we are all mediums. I just happen to trust what I hear, see, and feel, which gives me confidence that I am truly bridging the gap between this world and the next. Just like an instrument, if I use it daily, it fine-tunes and the output is a beautifully orchestrated flow of information.
There are many stages to the grieving process but everyone grieves differently. My friend, Marianne, whose amazing son, Jesse, passed five years ago, informed me about a recent proposed fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders for the American Psychiatric Association. The proposal suggests that if you have lost a loved one, you have two weeks to grieve before they diagnose you with clinical depression.
So, if you've lost a child or close relative and you're feeling sad, uninterested in things, can't sleep, or don't want to go to work—after two weeks, according to the manual—you are majorly depressed and need drugs. Who writes this stuff? Drug company executives?
I believe many people benefit from medication to help with depression and other challenges. However, if this suggestion is adopted, many people who experience completely normal grief could be mislabeled as having a psychiatric problem.
Even the current manual proposes an unrealistic standard of two months of grieving before one is considered clinically depressed. I don't think the answer for most people grieving is a diagnosis such as this and a prescription for pills for life. Reach out to a grief counselor and discuss your options to help you sleep and get through the day, but don't fall for the pharmaceutical's field day on grief.
They say time heals all wounds. Grief is a different story. The hole in your heart will always be there, but over time you learn to fill it with little pieces of joy. I call it "heart spackle."

Heel pain is one of the most common foot complaints among adults in the US. In fact, according to the American Podiatric Medical Association, three out of every ten Americans report that their heels hurt because they are too active and on their feet constantly. If this sounds like you, you're in luck - here at Reston Foot and Ankle Center in Reston, VA, your team of four podiatrists helps people resolve heel pain, particularly as it relates to an inflammatory condition called plantar fasciitis. Learn more about your treatment options by reading below!
Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
Most persistent and uncomfortable heel pain is associated with a condition known as plantar fasciitis. It involves the connective tissue along the arch of the foot between the base of the toes and the calcaneus, or heel bone. This band of tissue becomes inflamed and painful when people run, walk, dance, or simply stand for long periods of time. Consequently, many teachers, nurses, runners, and other athletes suffer from plantar fasciitis.
The mechanism of injury is simple: as the person places their foot on the ground, the arch flattens, and the plantar fascia stretches, especially if the foot rolls in toward the mid-line. Tight, poorly-fitting footwear with little arch support add to the problem, and women seem more prone than men because of their high-heels and pointy-toed shoes.
Treating heel pain
Many people recover well from plantar fascia by losing weight, resting, icing their feet, and choosing shoes which are more sensible and supportive. Your Reston, VA, podiatrist can tell which treatment is best for you by examining your feet, watching how you walk, and performing MRI or X-ray imaging. The foot doctor may prescribe corrective shoe inserts (custom orthotics) and a regimen of calf stretches and other exercises or even physical therapy as needed.
While surgery is not preferred, sometimes it is necessary if the pain continues for several months with no real relief. It is also important to note that Reston Foot and Ankle Center offers a minimally-invasive procedure as an alternative to open surgery.
Contact us for your consultation
We have three offices to provide you with long-lasting relief from heel pain. For our Reston location, phone (703) 437-6333, for Manassas, call (703) 368-7166, and for Leesburg, contact us at (703) 777-2101.

Metal silver is widely used in our daily life and in medical care.Silver Nanoparticle Due to the breakthrough of nanotechnology, nano silver particles (hereinafter referred to as AgNPs) have gained more benefits. However, the increase in the use of AgNPs in various fields inevitably leads to an increase in the potential risk of nanoscale particles, which raise concerns about environmental safety and human health. In recent years, Silver Nanoparticle researchers have evaluated the toxicities of AgNPs and sought to explore their cellular and molecular toxicity mechanisms.
Once AgNPs enter the body, some may remain in the original target tissue, but in principle they will be transported through the bloodstream or lymphatic system, Silver Nanoparticle distributed to the body's secondary target organ, causing a specific organ or systemic response. In rodents, AgNPs, given oral, intravenous, or intraperitoneal injection, have demonstrated that the brain, liver, spleen, kidney, Silver Nanoparticle and testis are predominantly secondary target organs throughout the body. Such organ distribution patterns suggest that the potential toxicity of AgNPs can cause neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and reproductive toxicity in vivo.
Cytotoxicity, such as reactive oxygen species, Silver Nanoparticle DNA damage, changes in intracellular enzyme activity, and the occurrence of apoptosis and necrosis, have been associated with liver toxicity induced by AgNPs in vivo. Basically, when the cells are facing unfavorable conditions, Silver Nanoparticle several steady-state processes will begin to sustain cell survival, one of which is autophagy.Silver Nanoparticle Autophagy can act as a cell defense process that is essential to counteract the toxicity of AgNPs, but does not maintain autophagic activity, accompanied by reduced energy, may contribute to the occurrence of apoptosis and subsequent liver function damage
"Autophonic tide" is used to express the autophagy after the dynamic process, first of all the formation and maturation of autophagosomes, followed by autophagylosin fusion, Silver Nanoparticle and finally hydrolyzed vesicle wrapped cell components and the release of macromolecules Cytoplasm. In this regard, any of the above steps in the process of interruption as cell autophagy tide is flawed. AgNPs exposure increased LC3-I to LC3-II in a dose-dependent manner, and the accumulation of p62 protein was dose-dependent. Silver Nanoparticle This suggests that although AgNPs activate autophagy, they eventually lead to autophonic tide being blocked. In addition to the problem of autophagy dysfunction, RNP and apoptosis were also increased after AgNPs exposure.
More and more evidence suggests that post-translational modifications, Silver Nanoparticle especially phosphorylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination, determine the activity and / or aggregation of proteins involved in performing autophagy and fine-tuning autophagous tide development. Silver Nanoparticle Increased cellular stress can lead to the collapse of the post-translational modification system or cause nonspecific modification that does not occur under physiological conditions.
Ubiquitination has long been considered the key to controlling the fate of proteins, which is the process of labeling proteins to be degraded by proteasomes. More recently, Silver Nanoparticle there is growing evidence that conjugated ubiquitin chains determine autophagy selectivity.

The Woz Says He'll Buy Apple Tablet, Steve Jobs Doing Well
Steve Wozniak may no longer be an active Apple employee, but he's still a loyal shopper, saying Wednesday that he'll buy the much-discussed Apple tablet once it's released next year.
"If there is such a thing," he said at a conference. "I buy everything Apple comes out with."
He then added, "There is no such thing," after which Fusion-io President David Flynn interjected, "You're talking to a guy who has seven [navigation] systems in his car. So he will definitely be buying it."
The men were there to announce that Fusion-io's technology will be used for a new solid-state-disk storage technology offered by IBM's servers, called the High IOPS Adapter.
The company said that these technologies are a "new tier of memory," faster and more cost-effective than disk drives, which will change the way data centers and computer architecture are designed.
Mr. Wozniak looked decidedly kempt in a black suit with a conservative, navy blue striped tie, though his characteristic gray beard was scraggly…

BACK TO THINK EXPERIENCES IN SICILYFlightsCar hireClimate
Car hire
Catania is the second largest and second most important city in Sicily after Palermo. While the locals would grudgingly accept this status, woe betide anyone who claims that their culinary traditions are in any way second best. Catania's identity is a mix of many things but food is at the top of the list. Indeed, any attempt to get to know the city must include an immersion in its culinary traditions, especially those regarding street food.
On this street food tour, you'll explore some of the city's most characteristic streets, stopping off at the city's most iconic food landmarks, including the amazing pescheria fish market, historic bars and venerable kiosks, where old favourites are served up with a generosity of spirit.
Your introduction to Catania's street food will not stop at delicious local cheeses, sundried tomatoes and arancini (stuffed rice balls), but will also include cipolline (pastries filled with cheese, sauce and onions), cipollate (bacon rolled around green onions), zuzzu (pork gelatin), granita, minni ri virgini (a ricotta cheese dessert shaped like a virgin's breast) and scricciu (a soft drink made from soda water and syrup flavored with various such as lemons, tangerines and grapes.
Man cannot live on food alone, however, and during the tour you'll be able to take in some of Catania's most important and beautiful monuments, including St Agatha Cathedral, Piazza del Duomo and its Liotru (lava elephant), the 2nd century Roman amphitheatre, and Via Crociferi, the city's most picturesque street, bordered by superb baroque churches and convents.
Tour duration: up to 4 hours
Starting time and location: 09:30 in front of the Cathedral of St Agatha, Piazza Duomo

As a freshman at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, I sat in a classroom that usually pulsated with nervous excitement and energy due to weekly quizzes and a desire to impress fellow classmates with profound comments and questions. However, on this particular day, the class sat hushed under a dark cloud of somber uncertainty. The profound fear and terror within each student made quizzes and grades and even college seem trivial. We all sat silent, wondering if anyone would even attempt to articulate our existential insecurity. Studying British Literature, we appreciated the power of language yet also knew its limitations and that it would only capture the foam on the surface of our fear. Even so, our professor invited us to share our thoughts. After more silence, one young woman finally broke the hush, saying that she found comfort in our class's reading assignment. The reading that was due on September 11th, 2001 included excerpts from "the first known woman of letters in English literature" who proved to be "an accomplished prose stylist." The student read the following portion to the class: "Sin is behovely, but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." And a blanket of hope fell warmly upon the class.
These words of Julian of Norwich still offer hope in the midst of uncertainty today, ten years later.
And in this he showed me something small, no bigger than a hazelnut, lying in the palm of my hand, and I perceived that it was as round as any ball. I looked at it and thought: What can this be? And I was given this general answer: It is everything which is made. I was amazed that it could last, for I thought that it was so little that it could fall into nothing. And I was answered in my understanding: It lasts and always will, because God loves it; and thus everything has being through the love of God.
In this little thing I saw three properties. The first is that God made it, the second is that he loves it, the third is that God preserves it.
— Julian of Norwich
