Dr. Rothstein received his BA from Colgate University. Dr. Rothstein started his graduate neuroscience training at the University of Chicago (MA, 1979) followed by his doctoral studies in biophysics and physiology and medical degree from the University of Illinois (1984, 1985). Following an internship in medicine at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, he moved to Johns Hopkins in 1986, for a neurology residency. Following his neurology training, and fellowship in neuromuscular disease, he stayed on as faculty.
In 2000 Dr. Rothstein organized the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins and serves as its Medical Director. This is the first multi-institutional, multi-national collaborative academic organization devoted to understanding the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and translating the information into new drug and cell based therapies. It uses an aggressive model of funding research among the leading young and senior researchers with funding based on performance expectations and mandatory collaboration. Currently the Center funds approximately 30 researchers, spending $2-3 million/year. In the last 5 years the vast majority of leading ALS achievements, by researchers from around the country, has been the result of the various investigators supported via this approach. In recent years the collaboration has been extended to other ALS and neurodegenerative disease non-profit organizations and NIH. The approach has led to the unprecedented generation of new animal models of the disease and new clinical therapeutic targets.
Dr. Rothstein's clinical specialization is in neuromuscular disease, with a particular focus on ALS. Other clinical areas relevant to his laboratory-based research include epilepsy, spinocerebellar ataxia, and brain tumors.
It was Dr. Rothstein's research on ALS pathogenesis that led to the first successful, FDA approved drug to alter neurodegeneration in ALS. His work on glutamate transporters and astroglial dysfunction was the first evidence that glial dysfunction could contribute to and accelerate neurodegenerative disease. His lab has spent the last 15 years using pathogenic cascade to discover new ALS therapeutics. Dr. Rothstein's Hopkins laboratory has been responsible for many ALS therapeutic candidates including small molecules, gene therapies, and more recently cellular based therapeutics.
Dr. Rothstein has received numerous awards for his work on ALS, including the Sheila Essay award, recognizing his worldwide contribution to ALS research, as well as the Diamond Award for ALS Research, the Lois Pope Foundation Award for Medical Research, and The Landa Foundation Lectureship. He has received and/or submitted almost a dozen patents applications based on his laboratory research. He is the Co-Founder of Ruxton Pharmaceuticals, Inc and serves as its scientific advisor.
Dr. Rothstein's laboratory includes over 30 postdoctoral fellows, neurology residents, neuromuscular fellows, undergraduate students, technicians and ALS clinic staff. He is the Co-Director of the MDA/ALS Clinic and has been the Principal and/or Local investigator in almost a dozen national or international trials in ALS. He is the author of over 150 articles on basic and clinical neuroscience. Dr. Rothstein's laboratory research is funded through the National Institutes of Health, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the ALS Association and Project A.L.S.

SUBSEA ENGINEERING: By-pass, superfast
When a troublesome pipeline beset with wax issues escalated into a blockage, new North Sea independent Chrysaor and Subsea 7 nimbly dealt with it, installing a 26km bypass pipeline in just eight months – despite facing multiple issues on the way.
Chrysaor is a new operator on the UK Continental Shelf. Only about 18 months old, it's got growth ambitions, after first acquiring a package of assets from Shell in 2017 in a $3.8 billion deal.
But, acquiring existing producing assets can come with issues, including that they're older, complex, interconnected and have been through multiple owners and therefore might not come with complete records – including exactly where and what diameter pipelines are.
The Lomond platform (initially operated by Amoco, BP, BG Group and then Shell) sits 145m east of Aberdeen in 83.8m water depth and started producing in 1993. Gas condensate from the Erskine facility, operated by Chevron, is exported to the Lomond platform and then 57.8km on to the Everest platform for onward export via the CATS system into the Forties Pipeline System to shore.
When Chrysaor took on Lomond as part of its acquisition of (ex-BG Group) assets from Shell in 2017, it knew there was a history of blockages in the Lomond to Everest condensate line, due to wax dropping out of the condensate flow as it cooled. While condensate from Erskine is transported through an insulated pipeline from Erskine to Lomond - stopping it falling to temperatures where wax forms - the Lomond to Everest pipeline isn't insulated.
"As it leaves Lomond, where the line is not insulated, as soon as it falls below 48°C the wax falls out," says Emily Eadington, Wells & Subsea Projects Manager, at Chrysaor. "When the line was installed in 1992, there were only Lomond fluids to transport, so wax was not an issue, thus no insulation." In 1997, Erskine condensate was added, and in order to mitigate potential wax-build up, a strategy to pig the pipeline every two weeks was developed. "But, it was last pigged in 2009. When we took it over, you couldn't put a PIG in because the PIG could get stuck."
Chrysaor needed to clear the pipeline before it became blocked again. But, clearing it might not be that easy. "There was a debate if we should clear it or bypass it," says Eadington. "We decided to just try and carefully maintain flow rather than unlock it and, in the meantime, put in a bypass pipeline as the chances of it blocking while we were trying to unblock it were 50%." So, late 2017, while the pipeline was still flowing, Chrysaor started engineering work with Subsea 7, which had previously performed engineering on a solution for a bypass pipeline under a previous owner operator.
Then, in January 2018, the very day Chrysaor secured partner (Chevron and Serica Energy) agreement to invest in the bypass pipeline, the Lomond-Everest pipeline became blocked. The project's urgency was now escalated. What would normally be an 18-month project needed to be done as quickly as possible.
"We went into fast-track mode," says Eadington. "We didn't have a construction contract in place and were working quickly as a small team. We didn't want to man-mark Subsea 7's team to see what they were doing, so we put it in their hands."
"The partnership started at that point," says Alan Fyfe, Project Manager, Subsea 7. "We didn't have a written specification or scope of work that you would normally get with an EPCI (engineering, procurement, construction and installation) contract. The agreement developed as we went. We had the background work we had already done. We discovered issues en-route and we worked around them."
The original plan was to lay a new pipeline, shut down the still operating pipeline, flush it, then cut the ends of the existing pipeline to before where wax drops out to after the blockage, and connect in the new pipeline. Simple, in theory – anything flushed out would be sent on to CATS for treatment. With the pipeline blocked, flushing it out with a blockage in the middle was no longer so simple – fluids at the Lomond end would have to be flushed back to Lomond, which wasn't designed to receive fluids. This meant hot tapping the existing pipeline so the contents could be flushed back to Lomond and to CATS on the other side. In addition, a temporary pumping and filtration spread had to be set up to divert the flushed fluids back over Lomond and into the Erskine pipeline for temporary storage.
Offshore work started in mid-June, when the dive support vessel (DSV) Sevan Seven Eagle was sent in to find the existing blocked pipe. Having probed at the location where Chrysaor's inherited documentation suggested it should be, it was finally found some 4 4m away.
Mid-July the DSV Seven Pelican came in to do more preparation and hot tap work – i.e. tapping into the existing pipeline either side of the blockage to enable access to, first, run in barrier gel to isolate the wax section and then flush out any remaining hydrocarbons and towards CATS and back to Lomond.
From late July, the Seven Navica pipelay vessel laid the new 26km-long 8in pipeline - fabricated and spooled at Vigra spoolbase, Norway - and performed metrology for the spool piece construction, which had already started and ran through to the end of August. The original plan was to use the Seven Borealis for pipelay. But Subsea 7 decided that it could bring the Seven Navica out of cold stack in Leith, near Edinburgh, to speed up the schedule and do metrology works while it was on site.
The tie-in points were at Lomond, where there was a subsea isolation valve, which meant a relatively simple flange connection. At the other end, where the existing pipeline had been dredged out, to be cut, the pipeline's concrete coating had to be removed, then the pipe cut in order for the diver-installed mechanical connectors to be installed. As this work was being carried out it was discovered that the 8in pipeline was not the diameter expected. This was important in order for the connectors, construction of which had started already, to fit. Luckily, the connectors were able to be modified.
Once the new section of pipeline was installed, it was flooded, cleaned and gauged subsea, to check it clear of any damage, then inspected externally using an ROV. In August, the new pipeline was trenched in and the DSV Seven Falcon came into the field to flush and cut the pipe. Finally, the Seven Eagle returned to install spool pieces, which connect the new pipe to the ends of the old pipeline, completing its work in mid-late September. The system was ready on September 22 and production restarted on September 30 – just eight months after the project launched.
For both Eadington and Fyfe it was a project which faced challenges, hit problems and was dependent on subcontractors delivering. "We didn't get it right all of the time, but enough of the time and very few things didn't work for us," says Eadington. "Most of the suppliers delivered on time, but when there was a delay we found time in the DSV schedule to make things happen and we got there faster as a result," says Fyfe. "If we had planned the project, there would have been fewer campaigns. But, doing it when we had vessels available meant we got the job done faster." Eadington adds: "a big gain from a schedule perspective was that Subsea 7 was able to accommodate changes as the project gained complexity and propose solutions."
An advantage was also was that Chrysaor, as a small organization, was able to be nimble. When issues arose, those dealing with them were able to make decisions and run with it there and then.
"It was a real challenge, but it was great to be involved and solve it," says Fyfe. "The project team in Subsea 7 was recognized for their work as a team but the reality is the team included Emily and her colleagues as well and there was very little demarcation in a client contractor sense. We weren't being man-marked. We had a common goal."

Human Research Program (HRP) Collections (Biochemical Profile, Repository): Over the weekend, a 52S subject completed his Flight Day (FD) 120 urine sample collections to support the Biochemical Profile and Repository experiments. The samples were placed in the Minus Eighty Degree Celsius Laboratory Freezer for ISS (MELFI).
- The Biochemical Profile experiment tests blood and urine samples obtained from astronauts before, during, and after spaceflight. Specific proteins and chemicals in the samples are used as biomarkers, or indicators of health. Post-flight analysis yields a database of samples and test results, which scientists can use to study the effects of spaceflight on the body.
- Repository is a storage bank used to maintain biological specimens over extended periods of time and under well-controlled conditions. This repository supports scientific discovery that contributes to our fundamental knowledge in the area of human physiological changes and adaptation to a microgravity environment and provides unique opportunities to study longitudinal changes in human physiology spanning many missions.
Spaceflight-induced Hypoxic/ROS Signaling (APEX-05) Operations: Today the crew photographed the APEX-05 petri plates growing in the Veggie facility. Before installing the Light Microscopy Module (LMM) for imaging, the crew checked that the inside of the petri plates were free of condensation and the outside of the plate was dry. When plants are grown in the confines of the International Space Station (ISS), they do not seem to get enough air and as a result, exhibit a stress response in their genes and proteins. The APEX-05 experiment grows different wild and mutant varieties of Arabidopsis thaliana, in order to understand how their genetic and molecular stress response systems work in space. The plants grow from seeds in the Veggie plant growth facility aboard the ISS, are frozen, and returned to Earth for detailed laboratory analysis.
Transparent Alloys Operation: During the installation of the cartridge last week, there was poor contact between the Transparent Alloys hardware and the cold plate in the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG), which resulted in the inability to properly control the heating of the cartridge. Results from the analysis of the MSG configuration determined that the MSG cold plate still had some M6 plugs installed that prevented good contact and heat transfer between the Transparent Alloys payload and the MSG cold plate. Today the crew removed the plugs, and after activation, the temperature readings are now in the nominal and expected range. This experiment run has started, and will last for a month. The aim of this experiment is to study the morphological instabilities of directional solidified, transparent binary eutectic alloys under purely diffusive conditions. It is planned to observe real-time the dynamics of eutectic front structures with a micron-scale resolution, over a large (centimetric) space scale, and over long periods of time. Such observations would be strongly sensitive to convective motions in the liquid, which, in ordinary conditions on earth, entail a detrimental redistribution of the solute on a scale comparable to the container size. Such convective motions are suppressed in microgravity. The specific goals of the experiment are: to study the formation and the relaxation of topological defects in rod-like structures, to study the rod-to-lamellar transition of eutectic growth patterns, to study the forcing effects of the distortions of the thermal gradient.
Airway Monitoring Overview and Hardware Gather: The crew reviewed reference material and gathered hardware to support the upcoming Airway Monitoring session this week. With dust particles present in the International Space Station atmosphere, Airway Monitoring studies the occurrence and indicators of airway inflammation in crewmembers, using ultra-sensitive gas analyzers to analyze exhaled air. This helps to highlight any health impacts and to maintain crewmember well-being on future human spaceflight missions, especially longer-duration missions to the Moon and Mars for example, where crewmembers will have to be more self-sufficient in highlighting and avoiding such conditions.
Dragon Operations: The crew continued with Dragon cargo loading operations. They installed a Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH) filter into the Dragon vehicle to scrub CO2 after hatch closure and completed a checkout of the Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Ultra High Frequency (UHF) Communication Unit (CUCU) Crew Command Panel (CCP) in preparation for Dragon release operations. Dragon hatch closure and unberth is scheduled for January 12 with release scheduled on January 13.
Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Preparations: The crew set up a Station Support Computer (SSC) and relocated items out of the airlock. They completed 1 of 2 training sessions on using the Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER) and Enhanced Caution and Warning System (ECWS). The crew also performed a checkout of Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU 3004) that was delivered on Dragon SpaceX-13. The two planned EVA crewmembers also took EMU sizing measurements for the On-Orbit Fitcheck.

Bizarrely, this scenario actually happened last week when Amanda was walking said fuckwit spaniel with a few of their respective human and canine chums.
There were a few key differences. The deer were proper roughty toughty country types, not those indolent, latte sipping London ponces, and the language was considerably more agricultural than 'Jesus Christ.'
Although the sight of this fool both squealing and running like a girl is bloody funny, my favourite bit is the smug, Muttleyesque giggle by whoever filmed it, right at the end of the clip.

is done in the shower. For yours truly no zen retreat or mountain hideaway, the humble shower is the wellspring of tumultuous inspiration. The only problem with this liquid enviroment is that there is never any functional writing material at hand to preserve these fleeting nuances.
That said, one thought that did linger long enough to be grasped between thumb and forefinger is that of the concept "how important is it to be friends with your husband?"
Perhaps its an age thing or even more mundanely the time of year but I find myself in flux, in a constant state of review and observation. As always my frame of reference is my own marriage and my opinions are in no way intended to be judgemental. DH and I are so very alike and yet in the ultimate cliche' so very different. There are days when I'd like to figuratively crown him, days when he vexes me so much that I question my mental capacity when we tied the knot (Rita Rudner always makes me chuckle …….. "I love being married – its so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life") and I'm sure the same applies to him. Yet despite the run of the mill ups and downs we have a genuine affinity for each other.
I firmly believe that the importance of being friends in a marriage cannot be over emphasised and would perhaps even go as far as saying it should be the number one priority. When the sweet and frothy has turned wishy washy and the horizontal mambo has turned into a soft shoe shuffle, what's the next step if you dont like each other. To clarify, a million miles from the "soul mate" horse twaddle which goes hand in hand with the pink and pretty.
I'm aiming for plain and simple:-
Do you want to spend time together and do you like to spend time together?

In December 2015, there will be an important gathering in Paris at the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCC). At this meeting, 193 nations will discuss whether or not an agreement can be made to limit the rise in the world's temperature to 2° Celsius. The outcome of this monumental meeting will have a big impact on how businesses will address the challenge of reducing their carbon footprints. If the world community agrees with a maximum 2° limit, and regulations go into effect by 2020, then the way businesses operate will forever be changed. The question is how will "business-as-usual" change and what steps are needed for a company to reduce its carbon footprint?
For businesses that rely on fossil fuels for much of their power and operational needs, the idea of changing procedures and systems that are cost efficient and reliable may be a tall order. It is also important to keep in mind that these fuel sources have improved humanity's standard of living beyond comprehension since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. They are integral to almost everything we do, but the upcoming UN meetings may call for change. As a result, a growing number of businesses are looking to implement changes. But, where does one begin?
Changing Habits with Energy Efficiency
A recent report in The Economist suggests, "the best hope… is a huge increase in energy efficiency…[by] using electricity efficiently and cheaply through better design, data-processing technology and changes in behaviour." However, it is behavioural change that may be most critical to a company's efforts of incorporating sustainability initiatives into its daily operations.
So, how does such a fundamental shift occur without causing inefficiencies and added costs? In today's competitive environment, there is little room to invest in new procedures that are at risk of increasing costs or even failure. Fortunately, there are proven solutions and meaningful change is happening. For instance, in Canada, some of the largest industries, including transportation, oil and gas, retail and banking are already taking the necessary steps to become more sustainable while reducing their carbon footprints.
Changing the Conversation – an Expert's Insight and Solutions
PR Associates recently discussed these sustainability initiatives with Mike Gerbis, president of the Delphi Group. As an Ottawa-based environmental and business "strategic consultancy," Gerbis and his team work with companies to help reduce their carbon footprints as well as achieving greater sustainability in their operations.
The Delphi Five-Step Process for Change
Part of how the Delphi Group works with their clients is to help them understand what is involved in becoming sustainable. Mike Gerbis explains, "We have developed a series of software products and tools that focus on sustainability and improve efficiency of greenhouse gas management." One of the tools Gerbis speaks of is Delphi's five-step process. Often following a conversation about sustainability with a new client, Delphi's five-step process begins by identifying issues affecting a sustainability strategy that includes environmental, social and good governance. The next step involves developing a strategic plan. The third step assesses the strengths and weakness of the company's internal and external stakeholder engagement. This is followed by he fourth step involving the implementation and integration of the strategy. The final step focuses on communicating the plan with precision timing for all areas. Gerbis also emphasizes that through each stage of the process, there is constant review and evaluation to make adjustments where needed.
Realizing Meaningful Change is Possible
As Gerbis explains, "when our clients experience the results of our program, they see first-hand, how our initial due diligence leads to implementation and then final reporting. As a consequence, they begin to change their behaviour as the results become evident." To maximize the benefits of implementing the right solution for each client, Delphi has produced a wide range of services. These include customized software and specialized tools that inform and help their customers with everything from optimizing trucking fleets to risk assessments for product portfolios and GHG emissions. Gerbis says, "when our clients understand how their business operations fit with our customized solutions, they realize meaningful and profitable change is possible."
The Corporate Sustainability Equation
To add perspective to these actions and solutions, Gerbis also points out that environmental policy is only one part of the "corporate sustainability" equation. For example, there are social factors, including employee engagement, stakeholder engagement and protecting human rights that are critical to the process. As a result, Gerbis contends that "behavioural change" is indeed possible. The challenge is changing enough minds to spring into action and make the necessary deep cuts in carbon emissions. To avoid the potential adverse consequences of remaining with the "business as usual" approach, Gerbis is confident the customized solutions the Delphi Group offer will help increase confidence that meaningful change is both possible and profitable.

Workshop in Poland on EGNOS performance and applications
A workshop on EGNOS performance and applications, an international, annual conference completely devoted to the satellite based augmentation system EGNOS, was held recently in Gdynia, Poland.
The aim of the seminar, held on 27 - 28 October 2005, was to bring together the European EGNOS community, review the present situation and status of the system, and foster international cooperation in the development of EGNOS applications.
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is the first European step into satellite navigation. It is a joint initiative of the European Space Agency, the European Commission and Eurocontrol - the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation. EGNOS is a precursor to Galileo, the global satellite navigation system currently under development in Europe.
The Workshop on EGNOS Performance and Applications was organized by the European Space Agency, the Polish Galileo Information Point at the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Navigation and Hydrography of the Naval University of Gdynia.
The two-day seminar was divided into 6 sessions: two devoted to general information about EGNOS (historical background, general concept, legal aspects, system status and performance, system operation and planned evolution), two devoted to applications and tools (overview of ESA and other projects, SISNeT, GATE, some examples of applications) and the last ones devoted to applications in navigation (road, rail and maritime transport, aviation, agriculture and others). The Programme Committee awarded the authors of the best papers of each session; Mr. Michael Optiz received the "Best Paper of the Conference Award" for his presentation about the development of SISNeT simulation software.
Over 120 participants from 18 countries had a unique opportunity to exchange information and experience regarding the use of EGNOS, following on from the successful Operational Readiness Review of the system in June this year and its entry into the initial operations phase in July.
The organization of EGNOS Workshop and the great interest it raised among Polish research and development institutions, public administration and the business sector has confirmed Poland's active interest in the development of satellite navigation.
The participation of numerous representatives of the GNSS community from other European countries has proved their willingness to exchange information and pool European resources to develop EGNOS and, in the future, Galileo applications in order to better meet the needs of European citizens.
The EGNOS Workshop took place in Gdynia, which is one of the most important port cities in Poland. Its strong relation with the maritime economy has been evident since its foundation. Moreover, Gdynia is a seat of many important institutions of maritime administration, nautical sciences and education. It was, therefore, an exceptionally suitable location for a discussion regarding the employment of EGNOS and, in the future, Galileo for the development of this maritime region.

Spinal paralysis 'breakthrough'
Scientists in the United States have made a breakthrough which could lead to restoration of movement in people with damaged spinal cords.
A team from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have restored movement to paralysed mice and rats by injecting immature stem cells into the animal's spinal fluid.
The animals were paralysed by introducing an animal virus that specifically attacks motor neurons (the cells that co-ordinate movement).
They drag legs and feet behind the, mimicking symptoms found in patients with a disease called spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
But half of the rodents treated with stem cells recovered the ability to place the soles of one or both of their hind feet on the ground.
Researcher Dr Jeffrey Rothstein said: "This research may lead most immediately to improved treatments for patients with paralysing motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and SMA.
"Under the best research circumstances, stem cells could be used in early clinical trials within two years."
Broad effect
Dr Douglas Kerr, who led the research team, said the study was significant because it was one of the first to demonstrate stem cells have the potential to restore function over a broad region of the central nervous system.
In the rodent study, however, injected stem cells migrated to broadly damaged areas of the spinal cord.
Dr Kerr said: "Something about cell death is apparently a potent stimulus for stem cell migration.
"Add these cells to a normal rat or mouse, and nothing migrates to the spinal cord."
In the study of 18 rodents, the researchers injected stem cells into the animals' cerebrospinal fluid via a hollow needle at the base of the spinal cord.
Within several weeks, the cells migrated to the ventral horn, a region of the spinal cord containing the bodies of motor nerve cells.
Between 5% and 7% of the stem cells turned into fully functioning nerve cells, enough to restore some movement within eight weeks in half of the rodents.
The scientists are now trying to discover how it is possible that such an apparently small number of nerve cells can make such a significant difference to the animals' capacity to move.
Inherited disorder
SMA is the most common inherited neurological disorder and the most common inherited cause of infant death. The gene for the disease is carried by one in 40 people.
Both parents need to be carrying the gene before a child develops the condition. The disease causes nerve cells leading from the spinal cord to muscles to deteriorate.
Children are born weak and have trouble swallowing, breathing and walking. Most die in infancy, though some live into young childhood.
In the UK, Anita MacAulay, executive director of the Jennifer Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, welcomed the research.
She said: "This research is really exciting news and will be well received by the families of people with the condition as it could make the day when SMA is thing of the past that much closer."
ALS causes the deterioration of motor nerves leading from the brain to the spinal cord as well as those from the cord to muscles. The disease eventually creates whole-body paralysis and death.
Ruth Obeten, superintendent physiotherapist at the Internal Spinal Injuries and Rehabilitation Centre at the Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital, said the technique could potentially also help patients with spinal injuries.
She said: "Maybe eventually if you inject these things into the spine immediately after injury you might get some re-growth of material.
"But spinal cord material dies off so quickly that unless it was done immediately there would be nothing left to re-grow."
The findings were presented at a conference of the Society for Neuroscience in New Orleans.

|We control your destiny, foolish mortal! With a whim we can end your life…or allow you to live.
Greek Mythology
In Greek mythology, Atropos was the Sister of Fate who ended mortal's lives by cutting their thread of life. She is the most well-known sister due to her job. Atropos was the smallest in stature, but the oldest and some believe, more powerful and cruel. Once those ends are cut by her razor sharp scissors, it is impossible to tie them back together. She is known to the Romans as "Morta".
God of War II
Atropos is the oldest Sister of Fate. Perhaps the cruelest of the sisters, she has the power to alter the histories of anyone she chooses. After Kratos defeats Lahkesis, who refuses to help him, Atropos reveals herself as she grabs Kratos and uses the mirrors to bring him to the past, where he battled Ares. On top of the Blade of the Gods, the sword that allowed Kratos to kill Ares, Atropos attempted to change Kratos' fate by destroying the sword which would kill the past Kratos and erase the current one from existence. Atropos battled Kratos and was eventually defeated, being left trapped in the past. When Lahkesis attacked once again, Atropos was partially freed from her mirror prison. However, the two sisters were not able to kill Kratos, who used the Amulet of the Fates to give himself enough time to beat Atropos back into the mirror. Kratos then proceeded to shatter it, leaving Atropos unable to help her sister for a time. In the end, Kratos defeated both Atropos and Lahkesis at once when the former attempted to hold him still, only for Kratos to escape and trick Lahkesis into stabbing Atropos instead. Kratos then used the sisters' last inter-dimensional mirror to trap them inside before shattering it, erasing them from existence.
Powers and Abilities
|We can change your past and set your future! This is the power of the Fates!
- Chronokinesis: Atropos could travel through time, using the mirrors of Fates. She was able to change the past this way and could even drag people with her through the mirror.
- Claws: Atropos had long talons that could cause great damage to anyone who strayed too close.
- Death Inducement: Using her claws, she cut the threads of fate.
- Destiny Manipulation: Being one of the Sisters of Fate, she was able to make and alter destiny.
- Energy Manipulation: She was also able to project green energy from her hands in a variety of ways: firing homing orbs, strong powerful beams and strong rays.
- Flight: Atropos was able to fly without the need of wings or any other sort of support.
- Immortality: As a god, she was immortal, meaning that she was immune to disease and couldn't age. A strong warrior could kill her however.
- Summoning: Atropos was able to summon her minions, Fates Sentries to fight at her side or present a distraction.
- Superhuman Durability: As a god, she was able to hold her own against demigods and deal with massive damage.
- Superhuman Stamina: As a god, she required no sleep or even rest.
- Superhuman Strength: As a god, she required superhuman strength able to grab a grown man and drag him with her.
- Vitrikinesis: Atropos was able to move through magical mirrors, spending most of her time in them. Using the mirrors, she could travel through time.
- Atropos is lying on the Blade of the Gods when Kratos beats her, yet when the past incarnation of Kratos takes the sword, he doesn't seem to notice her lying on it. On the other hand, Kratos' past self was probably more concerned with fighting Ares, so his failure to spot Atropos may not be too surprising. Yet another possibility is that, the future Kratos and Atropos were simultaneously existing in that time, while at the same time not, with no one aware of their presence in the battle.
- If Kratos doesn't succeed in preventing Atropos from breaking the sword, the sword breaks and a unique cutscene is presented, in which the present Kratos falls to the sea, Ares impales the past one with his sword, and both of them die. This video can then be seen in the Treasures Menu.
- Unlike Lahkesis, Atropos does not use a staff to channel her power.
- When fighting Atropos, the Kratos in the background has the scar on his stomach that was created when Zeus stabbed him with the Blade of Olympus, this is most probably a mistake made by the developers or maybe that scar was caused by the log that Ares threw at Kratos sending him to Hades and taking Pandora's Box for himself.

FTBOTR is For The Back Of The Room, that's who this post is for. Our 2009 fantasy baseball projections have been posted. These 2009 fantasy baseball projections are not quite like every other site's fantasy projections. Ours come in the form of Point Shares. This is a very basic system to understand, this is our Player Rater. Let's look at David Wright, who comes in first on the 10-team 2009 projections list. David Wright will give you 5.49 Points in your ten team league over the average third baseman. So if you have Kevin Youkilis (.05 Point Shares) at 3rd and you trade him for David Wright, you've essentially gained a bit more than 5 points in the standings. That's not too hard to understand, right?
These specific 2009 fantasy baseball projections use Marcel's stat projections from the site TangoTiger.net. Rudy uses these projections because they are free. He will also be putting together 2009 projections for Point Shares using a few other free services. Then he will do one cumulative Point Shares spreadsheet using all the projections systems. If you run a site and would like Rudy to use your projections, I'm sure there's some way we can work this out. Finally, a bit of good news for those in auction leagues. Rudy added dollar amounts to the Point Shares spreadsheet, so go check it out. For those who want projections in the form of stats and not Point Shares, I will personally be going over every single worthwhile player in my annual top twenty posts in January and giving you some of my own 2009 fantasy baseball projections. Stay tuned for those. In the meantime, have a great holiday and hopefully whereever you are the Heat Miser and the Snow Miser are on speaking terms.

VENTiT PLUS
What is VENTiT PLUS all about?
- VENTiT Plus is a modified version of VENTiT.
- In VENTiT, the ventilation utility is derived before the fabrication of 3-ply sheets and which, was a limitation for an international pizza box manufacturers where the 3-ply sheets come out from a high-speed automatic corrugated sheet manufacturing plant.
- It is difficult to incorporate, modify and build in the ventilation process in an automatic corrugated sheet manufacturing plant.
- We therefore have a solution where the ventilation utility comes into existence after the sheets are already manufactured from the automatic corrugated sheet manufacturing plant.
- There is only one additional mechanical/labour process, which is to reverse the sheet and die-cut one more time to achieve utility of the ventilation in VENTiT Plus.
Why VENTiT PLUS?
- The number Of holes for the exit and the ventilation are double in VENTiT Plus than the VENTiT (as can be seen in the photographs) and therefore the effective ventilation of VENTiT Plus is better than VENTiT.
- VENTiT Plus is patented technique worldwide or in most of the countries all over the world and we are looking forward for a licensing partner to manufacture VENTiT/VENTiT Plus in all possible locations.
What is VENTiT all about?
VENTiT is the world'S first breathing box. By using the structure of corrugation, the box provides effective ventilation for hot food delivaries. This unique packaging innovation allows for food to remain fresher for longer.
Understanding the limitations of the current box design
To provide ventilation, the existing pizza boxes provide for either slits or holes on the side. Neither of these effective as most of steam generated by the pizza is realised above and below the pizza and not through the sides. Additionally, holes provided on sides make the box prone to contamination and heat loss.
No ventilation outlets are provided on the top or bottom (where it is needed most) due to the fear of contamination.
Science behind sogginess of the pizza base
When a hot pizza is placed in a pizza box, there is steam generated within. Maximum of this steam is generated above and below the pizza. With no available exit, this steam bounces back and forth between the box and the dough and is eventually absorbed by the dough. This causes the base of the pizza to become soggy and the top of the pizza to become sweaty.
Challenges in providing an effective ventilation solution
- To provide ventilation on the top and bottom of the box (where it's needed most) without any fear of contamination and heat loss
- Ease in implementation with respect to the manufacturing process
- Maintaining the overall costs, as a pizza box is a low cost low margin item
VENTiT Solution
For the first time in the history of corrugated packaging, we have been able to successfully develop a ventilation solution that meets all the above constraints i.e. low costs, maintaining the integrity of the box and its contents, no fear of contamination and retaining the maximum heat of the food,so it can taste fresher.
Key Features of a VENTiT Box
- Ventilation: It Provides ventilation Above and below the hot food, eliminating steam condensation and enhancing the temperature inside. The result is less soggy food and a better overall eating experience.
- No Fear of Contamination: The box is fully enclosed such that even light can't pass through. since there re no through holes there is no fear of contamination.
- Insulation: Heat remains trapped within the flute channel, resulting in better retention of heat inside the box.
- Marketability: The VENTiT box offers a great advertising tool through TV and print media. Additionally, innovative graphical ventilation cut-outs of the box can be creatively used in different shapes and sizes.
- Cost-effective solution: Since no additional material is needed to manufacture the VENTiT box, there is a minimum effect on cost.
- Eco Friendly
- Patented in over 70 countries : Patent granted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) & Patent Corporation Treaty (PCT). The patent has been granted in over 70 countries.
- Wide scope of usage : Hot food packaging,Horticulture,Floriculture,Meals etc

Chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter all in a cupcake case. Honestly these are amazing.
Soft chewy cookie cups with a hidden peanut butter surprise. Anyone would love them. I'm not a huge peanut butter on toast fan, but I do love Reese's peanut butter cups and these are just like them. However these are better as they have that tender chocolate chip cookie surrounding the peanut butter filling.
These are super easy to make and are definitely worth a try.
(Makes around 22 cups)
Chocolate chip cookie cup:
200g (14 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
200g (1 cup) light brown muscavado sugar
100g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
1 whole egg + 1egg yolk
2 tsp corn flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
300g (2 cups) Chocolate chunks/chips (I used milk chocolate)
Peanut butter filling:
380g smooth peanut butter
128g (1 cup) icing sugar
35g unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
Begin by first making the peanut butter filling: In a microwaveable bowl place the butter and peanut butter together and pop in the microwave for around a minute until everything has melted. Sift in the icing sugar and salt and mix until everything is combined and the filling is like cookie dough and can easily be rolled into a ball. If the mixture is too wet add another 1/4 cup of icing sugar until the right consistency is reached. Pop the mixture in the fridge while you make your cookie dough.
In a large bowl beat together the melted butter and both the sugars until smooth. Beat in the egg and egg yolk one at a time. Add the vanilla extract, salt, and bicarbonate of soda and mix until combined.
Add the flour and corn flour and gently fold it into the batter, finally fold in the chocolate chunks.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.
Place a tablespoon of cookie dough onto the bottom of each cupcake cake, flatten the dough with your fingers so that there are no gaps and the bottom of the cupcake case is covered.
Roll about a teaspoon of the peanut butter mixture into a ball and place onto the cupcake case
Finally cover the peanut butter ball with another tablespoon of cookie dough. Gently pressing down so that the cupcake cases are filled and no peanut butter is showing.
Place in the oven for around 15-20 minutes or until golden around the edges. Let them cool in the muffin tin for at least 25 minutes before eating.
These taste awesome as they are and are fantastic as little treats but if you want a more indulgent taste then serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream while they are still slightly warm.
Enjoy! :)

Ego Is the Enemy

Beschreibung des Verlags
The instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and international bestseller
"While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their image with sheer, almost irrational force, I've found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition." —from the prologue
Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back.
Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to history. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by conquering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well.
In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, "you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you've set out to achieve."
KundenrezensionenAlle anzeigen
This was one of the best books I've ever read along with The Obstacle is the Way. I am so enlightened and full of hope and new self commitments to becoming a better human.
Ego is the Enemy
Incredible book full of wisdom and real life examples of the messages it is trying to deliver. It spoke to me on multiple levels and will remain by my bedside (with The Obstacle is the Way) forever. I have already given copies of a few on my team at work who I think will benefit from it. The whole team will receive a copy at our off-site retreat in November.


text: Wim Wenders' most fully realized cinematic vision follows Damiel (Bruno Ganz), an angel having pangs of longing as he observes the lives of mortals in Berlin, specifically the beautiful, ethereal trapeze artist Marion (Solveig Dommartin). Peter Falk essentially plays himself, a philosophical film and TV star (often addressed as "Columbo" by other characters!), who is making a movie in Germany and is one of the few people who can sense the presence of the invisible celestial spirits. An achingly beautiful and poetic meditation on life and what it means to be a human being, WINGS OF DESIRE won the 1987 Best Director award at Cannes. In German with English subtitles.

How to survive a festival in your contact lenses
It's hard to believe that festival season is almost here, whether you were one of the lucky ones to bag Glastonbury tickets, heading off to the Isle of Wight or like some of us here, taking in a smaller more local event, one thing we will all be focusing on is the weather.
There's no denying it, good or bad weather alters the feels of a festival, we all want sunny days and dry nights but all too often it seems we get washed out.
You'll want to pack for both extremes of weather, whilst keeping your backpack light but if you want to see everything don't leave your contact lenses off the list.
Contact lenses can pose their own problems at festivals but whether it's baking hot or a total wash out you can wear your contact lenses and survive, here's our tips on how to survive a festival with your contact lenses.
Use Daily Disposable lenses
This is definitely the best tip, wearing daily disposable contact lenses is the safest option, providing your eyes with a fresh clean pair of lenses every day, the big plus is no cleaning routine at night - who wants that at a festival at 4 in the morning?- simply take out your lenses and throw them away.
If you don't already wear daily lenses ask your optician about swapping to dailies and check out our Crystal contact lenses range, with prices as low as £6.99 for a box of 30 you may never go back to your monthly lenses.
Try continuous wear lenses
We are all aware of the risks of sleeping in lenses, and at festivals we are greater risk of doing this, due to late nights, alcohol, a break in routine etc If you don't want to think about removing your lenses at all try continuous wear contact lenses, these are not for everyone so we recommending asking your optician for a trial before you head off.
Stay hydrated
It's all too easy at a festival to get dehydrated, hot weather, restricted access to, or, expensive freshwater, the odd drink or two.. dehydration can effect the comfort of your contact lenses making them feel dry, itchy or uncomfortable.
Keep your water levels up and have some comfort drops handy and you should be good all weekend.
Pack some comfort drops
Even though you are wearing daily lenses you may find your eyes get tired or dry especially if the sun comes out, then having a few vials of comfort drops will mean getting more out of your lenses.
We recommend the vials as you can pack just a few, pop one in your purse, wallet, or pocket and you get a fresh dose every time.
Protect your eyes from the sun
Although most contact lenses provide UV protection they don't cover the whole of your eye so make sure you wear a pair of sunglasses that provide UV 400 protection. Contactlenses.co.uk has a great range of Earth friendly range of sunglasses with sustainable bamboo arms and wood pulp front look good and feel good too.
Pack your glasses
Even if you follow all of our suggestions there is still a chance you may have to leave out your lenses.
You don't want to miss a thing at the festival so make sure you pack your glasses - even if you leave them in the car.

Despite new public opinion research unveiled this week showing that Americans overwhelmingly fault House Republicans for the recent government shutdown and subsequent closure of national parks, the House Committee on Natural Resources on Thursday discussed a bill that would enable state governments to manage national parks and other public lands (despite the fact that the concept of turning public lands over to states and private companies has been shown to be highly unpopular among voters in the West).
The "State-Run Federal Lands Act" (H.R. 3294), sponsored by Representative Don Young (R-AK), would allow states to petition to take over management of any federal lands within their jurisdictions, including national parks.
Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) said during the hearing today that the bill "treats Uncle Sam like Uncle Sucker," noting that though it would allow states to manage federal lands and the resources they contain — including through expanded mining and drilling — federal taxpayers would still assume all legal liabilities for the lands.
This bill follows a series of state legislative efforts in Utah, Arizona, and five other states (and supported by conservative front groups such as the American Legislative Exchange Council and Americans for Prosperity) to require the federal government to turn over millions of acres to state ownership.
Also on the docket at the hearing today was a bill that would enable states to automatically take control of national parks if the government shuts down, which appears to be aimed at making it easier for Tea Party Republicans to shut the government down again without being blamed for closing national parks. As Grijalva put it:
From what I can tell today, this hearing is about creating cover for members who finally felt the sting from voters upset that their views were not being represented in Congress.
Recent polling from Hart Research commissioned by the Center for American Progress shows that voters do not approve of the cuts and closures that the Tea Party has delivered to national parks since taking control of the House in 2010. In particular, 82 percent of Democrats, 75 percent of independents, and 64 percent of Republicans say that Congress should not "make additional cuts in the spending that goes to protect and maintain national parks and other public lands?"
It also shows that only 19 percent of voters believe that Republicans in Congress are "doing enough to protect national parks and public lands for future generations."
In addition to hearing these bills in committee today, the Republican-led House of Representatives spent its time this week passing three bills to speed up oil and gas drilling in the U.S., despite the fact that for the first time since 1995 the U.S. is exporting more oil than it is importing from foreign countries. One of these bills goes so far as to mandate the imposition of a $5,000 penalty on any citizens who protest an oil and gas lease sale on federal lands.

Artist: Moya Brennan
Label: Decca
Need a quick escape in the middle of a noise-filled, stress-laden day? Pop "Two Horizons" into your disc player, close your eyes and journey to a land of mystical moors and ancient Irish castles. Possessing one of the most unique voices in world music, Moya (Maire) Brennan has rewarded Celtic fans with another haunting, melancholy release.
Longtime vocalist with the group Clannad, Brennan faces frequent — and sometimes less than favorable — comparisons to her sister, Enya. But on "Two Horizons," Brennan trumps her famous sibling. Tapping into her gift for romantic, historical songwriting, she unabashedly celebrates the beauty of the Irish harp, weaving together a series of songs showcasing the ancient instrument. The release is beautifully produced, featuring rich vocals and intricate instrumentation. Standout tracks include "Sailing Away," a lilting melody that evokes the sense of going through stormy as well as peaceful times, and the ethereal sounding "Show Me." The drum beat-heavy "Mothers of the Desert" also is mesmerizing.
"Two Horizons" is not overtly worshipful in its lyrical composition; yet, the quiet melodies certainly can lead listeners into a reflective, prayerful state. In the accompanying bio, Brennan says she wanted to leave "a certain amount to the imagination." She does. This is quality music performed by a woman of faith. While Iona's "Journey Into the Morn" (also featuring Brennan's vocal stylings) remains a personal favorite in this genre, "Two Horizons" follows close behind.

anyone in barcelona area?« on: January 27 2005 09:01:00 »
Hi guys,
I'll be living in Barcelona until April, and was wondering if there's anyone from that area who could give me some general tips about surfing.
I've seen surfers in Barceloneta, and read about Masnou on this site. Are there other spots near?
I'm pretty much a beginner, took a course for 2 weeks in summer, so I don't care about pro stuff ^_^
Which kind of board would be best (gonna rent one)? Is a short suit sufficient in Feb/Mar/Apr? Etc, etc... ;)

Hi there Steve. I will be in Barcelona around September studying. I am looking for a long term, at least 6 month apartment for rent. I won't have a need for one until mid October but I am planning on living with other people…around 3-4 of us total. Do you have anything that might suit my situation? Any 3 bed affordable apartments that might be close to the water? Also…any places you recommend to surf out there? Thanks a lot! Lea

Surfing in Barceloneta« Reply #7 on: January 20 2007 20:01:00 »
Hi everyone.... I will be in La Barceloneta May10th to June10th 2007 could anyone tell me if it is worth bringing my surfboard over?? And, is there any places near by, if not Barcelona, where the waves are surfable?
Miami, FL
RE: anyone in barcelona area?« Reply #8 on: January 28 2007 10:01:00 »
Hey stef, I've been living in barcelona for a couple of months now and i am actually surprised about the surf out here. Its pretty alright. Nothing big but occasionally you have some nice waves around barceloneta. I havnt found a place to rent boards, and buying them is pretty expensive cause the market for surfing is pretty small out here. It could be worth bringing your board down. But dont expect too many waves.

CNN introduced a redesign of its website that will rollout to the public at the end of September, unifying the consumer experience across all platforms and simplifying the ad-buying process for mobile.
"The future of CNN is as much about digital as it is about a television screen," CNN President Jeff Zucker said at a media event in New York Wednesday. "I fervently believe mobile is a big part of our future."
The Time Warner Cable network is increasingly accessed from social networks and mobile outlets and is growing its international audience. The challenge to "fit" news published across 20 different media outlets and nine different editions in six languages has led to the digital facelift that will include much larger photos to anchor stories. "Big pictures and big headlines," is the word from Zucker.[more]
The redesign will also introduce a different, intuitive color palette to the site, in which colors will change in accordance with the time of day. In the morning, CNN.com will have softer colors, shifting to blues and grays during the day. The brands iconic red hue will be brought out for breaking news such as bombings or plane crashes. The site essentially will function "like a mood ring," CNN.com Senior Vice President KC Estenson told Fast Company. "The site itself will morph based on the news of the day." The color palette, as well as the redesign as a whole serves to make the new site less cluttered and more easily translated on mobile devices, which now accounts for nearly 40 percent of CNN.com's traffic.
As for advertising, CNN plans to apply new tagging functions that will help marketers utilize trendy "native" advertising. The function will allow readers to tag a particular story, which will enable the site to push updates to their mobile phone, email or social media account.
"The grand vision here is that at some point we can dynamically publish the site for the individual," Estenson said. "We are heading toward a world with more personalization, this is yourCNN."
CNN will also make it US video feed available on its homepage from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., rather than only when major news breaks, making it the only TV network to have a live feed on its website all day long.
In the end, Estenson said the $15 million makeover serves to transform the site from a "machine that spits out breaking news," to something that is less overwhelming and reflective of the "human beings that are creating this stuff."
