2015 Solstrand

2015 Solstrand

For SAED 2015 we went back at the wonderful Solstrand outside Bergen, Norway.
SAED 2015 was once again held at the beautiful Solstrand outside Bergen, and we had a very exciting program lined up for all of you, scientifically as well as socially. This year we also thanked Arne Lund for his brilliant leadership, as he handed the keycard over to SAEDs new President Trine Bjelke-Holtermann.
Solstrand encompasses many of the ideals that the SAED possess. The hotel is large enough to accommodate the entire membership of the SAED plus many of their guests, yet small enough to have the intimacy necessary to encourage the camaraderie and interactive informal discussions which make the Esthetic Academies unique in the world of dental symposia. Thats why we are also coming back for 2016.
SAED 2015 included a fantastic 70s party, and we were all blown away by the effort you all had put into your costumes. We cant wait to see what you all come up with for next year´s theme party. A special thank you goes out to Peter Lembke Gerdes for his Elvis performance during the dinner.
As always, 2015 also had the traditional Gala dinner with a few surprises, and this year, the Exco´s advisor Morten Duesund invited the honorary (and very surprised) John Besford as well as Arne Lund to perform to perform with him during dinner, an unrehearsed version of Dylan´s "To make you feel my love". The drums by John, the guitar from Arne, and the voice from Morten carried the song in a way that without a doubt showed the love between the three gentlemen - and the three men´s love for everyone in the room.

During the Sunday morning SAED General Assembly, President Arne lund was thanked for his brilliant service and leadership over the past two years, and a new ExCo was elected, lead by SAEDs new President Trine Bjelke-Holtermann. For all the details on the new ExCo, and the decisions from the General Assembly, please see the GA Meeting Protocol.

There are so many that the ExCo need to thank after this year´s fantastic symposium, from the past presidents and ExCo members that have worked tirelessly to put together an incredible program and a fantastic range of lecturers, to Penny and Sarah from Conference Shop for organising everything and keeping everything flowing throughout the weekend. The Conference Shop has done such a tremendous job that they have been chosen to continue to work with SAED also for future events. Last but certainly not least - a warm thank you to all our sponsors who helped make all of this possible, and to all the wonderful delegates. Without you, there would be no symposium.

How time fly when you´re having fun.. We can´t wait to see you all again at SAED 2016 at Solstrand.

"We are what we continously do,
perfection then is not an act, but a habit"

Have you registered for the 2015 Symposium?

The TG option provides 0 to -50 dBm synchronized sweep output, and conducts scalar network analysis (S11. S21) as well as P1dB.  The GSP-9330TG  provides a rapid 204us frequency sweep speed, which helps greatly dealing when analyzing modulated signals. In addition its analog AM/FM demodulation and analysis function, the GSP-9330 also provides digital signal ASK/FSK, and 2FSK demodulation and analysis capabilities. Everyone knows that EMC issues are crucial when it comes to product design, and the GSP-9330 incorporates EMC pretest solutions to facilitate EMC pre-compliance testing. The GSP-9330’s easy-to-use EMC pretest procedures can find EMC issues quickly, shortening product design and launch times.

    The rapid sweep design assists when capturing transient signals such as FM and AM signals, Bluetooth frequency hopping signals, tuned oscillators, or ISM Band interference signals.   The GSP-9330TG also provides ASK/FSK digital signal demodulation capability, and delivers a complete test and analysis function for the widely utilized, low-cost/low power consumption 2FSK modulation signals.

    The GSP-9330TG satisfies an engineers' needs for comprehensive EMC Pretest capabilities, needed during both the product development phases as well as the product verification phase. Users can find and fix problems before they hit production, which saves time and money in product development. This inevitably speeds up product launch processes – and profitability! The GSP-9330TG has a built-in EMI-dedicated 200/9k/120k/1MHz filter, 20 dB low noise amplifier and Quasi-Peak/Average detection mode for conducting radiation and conduction tests with a suitable probe set. The GKT-008 provides a complete near field test radiation probe set to simplify quite complex measurement procedures and to simulate 3m/10m far field tests in the laboratory. Using the GKT-008 probe set can save debug time and the cost of going back and forth to test lab environments. The GKT-008 works with the optional GSP-9330’s Tracking Generator for conducting EMS pretests. For conduction tests, GKT-008 can with an LISN and Isolated Transformer to conduct electromagnetic conduction tests.

Andrew Davies is the 2009 Cape Town Blitz Champion

The Cape Town club held its annual blitz tournament at the Touch of Madness restaurant on the 10th of November 2009. The tournament attracted a relatively large field this year, as we were graced with the presence of a number of Stellenbosch players who braved the distinctly unseasonal elements to make the long drive to Observatory.

Given the nature of the tournament (12 minutes absolute time), the tournament was, as usual, a rather frantic affair compared to the more sedate nature of typical club evenings, and there were a number of unusual strategies to be found, such as “keep things complicated and rely on a win on time” or “keep things complicated and win the fight” (OK, that latter is perhaps not so unusual).

There were also a number of slightly contentious victories, with one player being accused of a “sleeve tesuji” (moving stones accidentally or otherwise with their clothing), and one game where both clocks had fallen with neither player realizing it (in that case the victory was awarded to the player who noticed it first). Fortunately, given the friendly nature of the tournament, everything was accepted in good humour.

In the end, after the scheduled five rounds, there were two players on four wins, and it was decided to hold a playoff round to determine an absolute winner. In the end, Andrew Davies prevailed over Steve Kroon (twice in a row, in fact) to secure the title. Chris Welsh came third, also on four wins, and there were four players in joint fourth on 3.5 (the half points coming from byes). Konrad Scheffler won the “Most Sporting Player” award, after electing not to press for a victory on time despite his opponent only having 3 seconds left on his clock – the nature of the time rules means that it is quite easy to ensure a victory if your opponent only has a few seconds left on the clock by making a succession of unreasonable invasions to force the opponent to respond.

A simple skirt

Eek, it's been forever since I last posted. Sorry bout that.  To kick off the year, I've had a few things on the brain for sewing... most recently, this cute skirt.

I'm going to use this fabulous tutorial from Gertie's blog and add a tie around it with the same color fabric. I'll let you all know how it goes. What sewing projects do you have on your mind?

Sunday Suppers with Lunchbox Love–Savory Passover Brisket

I don’t know about you, but other than being with family and friends, the thing that makes the holidays special for my siblings and I, is the food my mom cooks year after year.  A delicious braised and slow cooked brisket is the main dish we look forward to and can always count on for our Passover Seder.  Try this recipe for you next Sunday Supper with your family!

5-7 lb brisket
Extra virgin olive oil
4 onions, diced
5 carrots, carrots, peeled & sliced into 1-inch pieces
5 celery stalks, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
10 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs rosemary
2 bay leaves
8 cloves garlic
1 qt beef broth
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Potato starch (optional)
Fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

You Will Also Need:

Large heavy roasting pan (not aluminum or disposable)
aluminum foil

Total Time:6-8 Hours

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Rinse the brisket and pat dry. Rub both sides of the meat with black pepper and kosher salt.

Heat roasting pan over a medium flame on the stovetop. Drizzle a few tablespoons of olive oil into the pan. Brown the brisket on both sides—it will take about 4 minutes per side.

Remove brisket from the pan. Drizzle a little more olive oil in the pan and add the diced onions, carrot slices and celery chunks. Sauté the vegetables for a few minutes, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan with your spatula.

When onion is translucent and carrot slices are slightly caramelized, scoop them out of the pan and place in a bowl.

Pour beef broth into the bottom of your pan until covered. Scrape up any remaining brown bits on the bottom of the pan as the broth heats up.

When broth is hot, add half your vegetables back into the pan spread out across the bottom. Place your brisket back into the pan, fatty side facing up. Place garlic cloves on top of the meat, evenly spaced. Add the remaining veggies to the pan, spreading them on top of the brisket to cover. Place herbs on top of the brisket and in the broth, evenly dispersed.

Pour more beef broth into the pan until it goes halfway up the sides of your brisket. Cover roasting pan tightly with foil and place in the oven.

Let it roast undisturbed for 5 to 7 hours. It will take about 1 hour per pound of meat (leaner cuts of meat may take longer—test for doneness). Brisket is ready when it flakes tenderly. You can let it cook even longer for a soft, shredded texture (my favorite!).

Remove brisket from the pan and let it rest on the cutting board for 20-30 minutes before slicing. Strain pan drippings from the roasting pan into a saucepan and allow to cool. Skim fat from the surface of the pan drippings…then reheat the remaining liquid until hot (not boiling). Thicken with the potato starch to make gravy. You can alternately blend the softened vegetables into the gravy to thicken it.

Serve topped with pan juices or thickened gravy, along with the softened veggies if you have reserved them. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.

Let us know what you think!

Art Fair Tokyo / G-tokyo 2013

SCAI THE BATHHOUSE is pleased to announce our participation in the coming 2 major art fairs in Tokyo, Art Fair Tokyo 2013 (Tokyo International Forum) and G-Tokyo (Tokyo Midtown Hall).

In Art Fair Tokyo, SCAI will present Apichatpong Weerasethakul's solo exhibition. "Primitive", is a film installation which drew a great deal of attention from the viewers in YOKOHAMA TRIENNALE 2011 for the first time, and the photo works of "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives", the Palme d'Or winning piece will be exhibited at the booth. Along with the above, "Eastern Beach", limited-his private photo works will be shown for the first time ever.
In the special event called「Discover Asia」which introducing the East Asian artists at the venue, his new film installation called "FAITH" will be displayed for the first time in Japan.

At G-tokyo 2013, Kohei Nawa will present "Trans", a new development in sculpture. He applied special effects to surface data of motifs which was scanned in 3D, and converts the result into sculptural form. The resulting forms, fluid and three-dimensional, give a real sense of the actual existing motifs, leaving the viewer feeling as if they have witnessed "the other side," i.e., a world that progresses in parallel to this one.

We hope you will all be able to enjoy each venue, and look forward to seeing you at the site.

Interactive Panel Discussion on The Civil Rights Movement

civilrightsThe Greenville Office together with the Greenville County Library System presented an event on the Civil Rights Movement in Greenville.

The evening opened with two students from Southside High Schools Speech and Debate team performing a piece called "Strands" By Eric Wilson. They took us through the timeline of African Americans from the Auction block to the Civil Rights Movement and did an excellent job at capturing the audience.

Then our Panelists took their places and discussed their stories, shared their thoughts and opinions and fielded questions from the audience. We would like to thank Mr Mack Lockhart, Mrs Lillian Brock-Fleming and Mr Jimmy Carter for sharing their history with us so that we can learn from them.

Mr Richard Walton MC'd the event for us and shared with us his experiences as well. This event was well attended and many thoroughly enjoyed the performance and discussion.

Frog Speak

Horned Frog faithful (including myself) gathered last night at the Love Field Flight Museum for their annual Coaches Event. In addition to hearing AD Chris Del Conte’s view on various subjects including pay-for-play and Title IX, head football coach Gary Patterson joined head baseball man Jim Schlossnagle (fresh off another trip to the College World Series) and new ladies basketball coach Raegan Pebley on stage for a Q&A with Frogs radio color commentator John Denton. But first Coach Patterson warmed up the crowd singing a handful of songs while strumming an acoustic Martin guitar (which he signed and then was auctioned off).

TCU AD Chris Del Conte gives his thoughts on a variety of subjects

Personally, I could sit and listen to Chris Del Conte for hours. I think the man is insightful, engaging, thought provoking and entertaining as all hell (especially one-on-one). Here’s what he had to say when asked about his opinion on paying athletes to play:

“When coaches bring student athletes in their programs they are changing their lives – an interesting statistic – do you now there are more African American men between the ages of 18 and 22 that are in prison in this country than are in college? 72% of the United States population does not have a college degree. 72 percent. I’m speaking to the choir (here). Intercollegiate athletics is changing lives – do I think we ought to pay everybody?  No, emphatically no. However…do I think we ought to give them stipends?  Sure. There’s no doubt about it. I’m a full believer of that”

“Now the full cost of attendance to go to TCU is about $54,000 (per year)- should we give a kid an extra $2000? With the $30 million we’re getting from television (by being in the Big 12) – you betcha. I have no qualms about it. Even if we didn’t get the $30 million you need to do that because its the right thing to do. Nothing has changed in scholarships since its inception in the ’30s, except coaches salaries have increased. But the scholarships (rules) have stayed the same. As we’re moving on we should do that (pay stipends) – but at the same time – I’m a track athlete. I am not a football player, I was not a basketball player. I was very fortunate to get a scholarship (and) that scholarship gave me a chance to be with you today. And growing up in a children’s home, let me tell you right now, athletics changed my life and gave me an opportunity. And that’s where we’re losing the message. We’re losing the message today that its (still) about paying a $250,000 scholarship (to the athlete), and that child can do something special with that.”

Only 43 days and 5 hours to kick-off.  But who’s counting!

Animated Comedy: An oversized bull who doesn't believe in violence must contend with being sent to a ranch that raises bulls for bullfighting.
As a young bull, Ferdinand (voice of COLIN H. MURPHY) is being raised at Casa del Toro, a bullfighting ranch run by Sr. Moreno (voice of RAUL ESPARZA). Unlike the other child bulls there and their fathers, Ferdinand has no interest in bullfighting or any sort of violence for that matter. And thus when his father is chosen to fight in Madrid but never comes back, Ferdinand runs away from the camp, escapes on a train, and ends up on a farm filled with his favorite things -- flowers -- where a young girl, Nina (voice of LILY DAY), becomes his best friend.

With the passage of time, however, Ferdinand (voice of JOHN CENA) has now grown into a monstrosity of a bull, although he's still as passive as ever. But when a bee stings him on the rear and he causes a great deal of accidental damage to a market and scares everyone there in the process, he's captured and sent away -- back to Case del Toro. There, he's paired with a calming goat, Lupe (voice of KATE McKINNON), who isn't very good at her job, and finds himself back in the company of his childhood bull acquaintances.

While the likes of Bones (voice of ANTHONY ANDERSON) and Guapo (voice of PEYTON MANNING) are intimidated by Ferdinand's size, Scottish bull Angus (voice of DAVID TENNANT) can't see him and genetically modified Maquina (voice of TIM NORDQUIST) acts like a robot, Valiente (voice of BOBBY CANNAVALE) takes up with his bullying of Ferdinand from where he left off.

Valiente is determined to be chosen to battle legendary bullfighter El Primero (voice of MIGUEL ANGEL SILVESTRE) and thus repeatedly puts Ferdinand in his place, as do a trio of Austrian or German show horses -- Hans (voice of FLULA BORG), Greta (voice of SALLY PHILLIPS), and Klaus (voice of BORIS KODJOE) -- who live in the next corral over. But along with Lupe who now considers Ferdinand her best friend, the pacifist bull finds allies in a trio of hedgehogs -- Una (voice of GINA RODRIGUEZ), Dos (voice of DAVEED DIGGS) and Cuatro (voice of GABRIEL IGLESIAS) -- who live on the ranch and help conspire to free him from that facility.

With El Primero wanting the best bull to battle in Madrid and setting his sights on Ferdinand, the bull must do what he can to escape that situation, especially when the alternative is to be sent to the chop house for beef processing.

If they enjoy animated movies featuring talking animals, they probably will.

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!

I Dare You Last Longer Than 45 Seconds Into This Hardcore Song About 'Star Trek'

Reminiscent of the smooth sounds of a cat being strangled. The name of the song is "TNG," and the name of the band is Cause and Effect, which sounds more like an early-90's R&B group than a hardcore band, but whatever. It's probably a bad song for a first date.

The debut of "Grand Theft Auto IV" this week will give millions of people another chance to engage in the popular video-game franchise's infamous brand of mayhem.

But this time, there's also a real-world business drama surrounding the game's release -- presumably without the carjackings, knifings or shootouts in the streets.

For the first time in the "Grand Theft Auto" series, the new game will be launched for Microsoft and Sony consoles at the same time. The franchise has been a longtime mainstay of Sony's PlayStation brand.

The simultaneous release Tuesday promises to make the mature-rated "Grand Theft Auto IV" a big factor in the competition for market share between Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360. Each company will try to capitalize on demand for the game to get people to buy its console.

"I do think this is going to drive a lot of console sales," said Sam Kennedy, editorial director of the 1UP Network of video-game sites. "There are a lot of people who have been waiting for one of these big, blockbuster, gigantic games to come along."

The impact of that phenomenon may be biggest for the PlayStation 3, said Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities. That's because the Xbox 360 has already benefited from a string of exclusive titles -- including "Halo 3" and "Gears of War" -- that would have attracted many "fence-sitters," he said. Many PlayStation 2 users may have been waiting for something like the new "Grand Theft Auto" to move to the PS3.

For the "Grand Theft Auto IV" launch, Sony is focusing in part on promoting the game to existing PlayStation 2 owners, trying to get them to upgrade hardware, said Scott Steinberg, Sony Computer Entertainment America's vice president of product marketing.

"There is a definite history there, and a definite affinity there that is undeniable between the PS2 and 'Grand Theft Auto,' " Steinberg said. "We've been slicing and dicing our database and marketing directly to the folks who are eligible for PS3 and a 'Grand Theft Auto IV' message."

Microsoft will be trying to get PlayStation 2 owners to switch to the Xbox 360 instead, and it will have some extra ammunition in its pocket. Under an exclusive deal that Microsoft struck with "GTA IV" publisher Rockstar Games, for which Microsoft reportedly paid $50 million, the company plans to offer users of the Xbox Live service a chance to purchase additional "GTA IV" episodes starting in the fall.

The potential impact of that deal on buying decisions is a subject of widespread speculation in the industry. The promise of the extra content will appeal to die-hard gamers, but not necessarily to others, said Ricardo Torres, editor-in-chief of video-game site GameSpot.

"There are some people who have picked up 'GTA' because they think it's really cool, and it's kinda fun to tool around in the city, but they've never actually dedicated themselves to fully completing the game and just getting everything they can," Torres said. "For them, just having the game might be enough."

More than 70 million units in the "Grand Theft Auto" series have been sold, according to Take-Two Interactive Software, Rockstar Games' parent company. The previous "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" became a source of controversy based in part on the discovery of a hidden sex scene.

But so significant is the franchise that Take-Two sought to fend off Electronic Arts' recent acquisition offer in part by telling investors that the bid was "opportunistically timed to capture the value of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV launch at the expense of Take-Two stockholders."

"Grand Theft Auto" is one of relatively few franchises in the industry with such an extensive track record of fueling hardware sales, Sony's Steinberg said. But Sony is also expecting the PlayStation 3 to benefit this year from other games, including "Gran Turismo 5 Prologue," released in the U.S. this month; and "Metal Gear Solid 4," set for release in June.

Microsoft expects "Grand Theft Auto IV" to be a significant "system-seller" for the Xbox 360 this year, along with such games as "Gears of War 2" and "Fable 2," said David Dennis, an Xbox spokesman. "Grand Theft Auto IV" is "certainly the game of the year that everyone is watching," Dennis said.

With the "GTA" franchise, Microsoft hasn't previously been on even ground with Sony. "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," came out for PlayStation 2 eight months before it was released for Microsoft's original Xbox.

Sony's PlayStation 2 dominated that previous console generation. But Microsoft launched the Xbox 360 in November 2005, a year ahead of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii. At the end of March, cumulative unit sales of the Xbox 360 in the U.S. were 9.9 million, compared with more than 4 million for the PlayStation 3, according to data from the NPD Group market research firm.

Microsoft's larger market share gives the Xbox 360 a natural advantage when looking at each console's potential for driving sales of the game, said Colin Sebastian, senior research analyst with Lazard Capital Markets.

"But 'GTA' historically is better associated with Sony," he said, "and so presumably a good number of the PS3 owners are going to buy the game."

No plans have been announced to release "Grand Theft Auto IV" for the Wii. The Nintendo console has been atop the U.S. sales rankings in almost every month since its November 2006 launch, with 8.8 million units sold in the U.S. cumulatively.

The significance of the "Grand Theft Auto IV" release to Microsoft or Sony should become more clear in the coming weeks, as market data are released. In the meantime, expect lots of coverage and buzz as the game launches.

"Grand Theft Auto is twice as significant as any other game," said Wedbush Morgan's Pachter, "and half as significant as the media thinks it is."

Bare tree branches -- so thick they look like the matted end of a witch's broom -- have obscured what used to be one of the city's most spectacular vistas on the west side of Queen Anne.

After more than a year of conflict, neighbors who live on the ridge near the Betty Bowen Viewpoint and those at the bottom of the park's steep slope have compromised on a plan to remove the offending maples and firs.

It's the first of two dozen neglected city viewpoints that the city Parks Department hopes to restore, in part by replacing view-blocking trees with lower-growing species.

"You can see it hasn't been maintained for so many years," said Roger Belanich, surveying a hillside where vines with spent blooms have covered the ground and climbed up towering trees. "There's a little peek-a-boo through the clematis, but obviously it got overtaken for whatever reason."

But to Traci Goodwin, whose back yard is 60 feet directly below the viewpoint's lip, that jungle represents the best chance that the steep slope won't come barreling through her kitchen during a flash rainstorm or earthquake.

Those downslope neighbors, who have appealed the city's plan to remove the vegetation, have since agreed to cutting and replacing up to 30 trees in Marshall Park, which is less than an acre and includes the Betty Bowen Viewpoint.

They'll drop their legal objections if the city leaves the undergrowth -- largely blackberries, ivy and other invasive species. They fear that clearing the slope to bare soil could cause erosion problems and possibly worse.

"We're not opposed to opening up the views if it's done in a reasonable way," Goodwin said. "It's been very emotionally stressful -- we've been worried about losing our homes and really very fearful of how the department has approached this."

But it's unclear whether the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation will agree to a plan that leaves a hillside of invasive species that would require continued maintenance and could threaten replanted trees.

The parks board is scheduled to consider the issue in January, officials said.

The plan recommended by staff members would replace the invasives with a palette of native shrubs. During the restoration project, which would be done in phases over six to 10 years, the department would take steps to prevent the slope from sloughing off, said Mark Mead, senior urban forester for the Parks Department.

In the long run, native plants such as snowberry or salal would do a better job of preventing erosion, since their roots burrow deeper than those of shallow-growing weeds, he said.

"There are some practical reasons we want to take out the plants, but we do have a goal across the city to reduce the amount of invasives," Mead said. "We want to make the area as sustainable as we can."

But downslope neighbors complained that the Parks Department rushed into the project without an adequate environmental review.

They also question whether the city, which hasn't spent the money to adequately maintain the viewpoints, has the resources to fully fund the replanting and restoration.

The Parks Department eventually agreed to do a more detailed geotechnical analysis, which concluded that the slope below the Betty Bowen Viewpoint was only "marginally stable." The existing ground cover wouldn't help in the event of a catastrophic landslide, but does prevent rain from dislodging dirt and washing it downhill into back yards.

But it said the city's proposed work wouldn't threaten that stability if the proper precautions were taken.

"We're all at the mercy of fate or God," said Brian Livingston, who also lives under the viewpoint. "But given the history of neglect in Seattle's parks, you don't feel really good that the park is going to be improved and the slope is going to be strengthened."

Two neighborhood groups on opposing sides of the issue -- the Friends of Marshall Park on the ridge top and the Queen Anne Park Stewards on the hillside -- recently got together to work out their differences on their own.

Aside from agreeing to leave the undergrowth, their compromise agreement sent to the city this month would save some trees near walls protecting private property while allowing the city to cut others that weren't on its original list.

Belanich, who lives at the top of the hill and wants to open up the view, said he hopes the city will accept the compromise. The ridge-top neighbors have offered to raise money to replant and maintain the park, if necessary.

The vista from the Betty Bowen Viewpoint, named in 1977 for the longtime patron of the arts and historic preservation -- could be even more spectacular than that from Kerry Park down West Highland Drive, Belanich said. On a sunny day, the sound of cameras clicking away there is like a swarm of locusts.

"The constituency of this park is the whole city of Seattle and its tourists. We don't have that many places that are this terrific," Belanich said, craning to catch a glimpse of the setting sun through the branches. "Now that we've resolved our community issues, we just hope we can resolve it with the Parks Department."

The resignation of Marina Silva as the environment minister of Brazil is a blow to the very future of the planet. Five years ago, she was appointed guardian of the Amazon but, in that time, she has fought an uphill battle against the loggers and ranchers of Brazilian agribusiness. Indeed, she often seemed a lone voice in the Brazilian government -- outvoted on the introduction of genetically modified grains, on the construction of a new nuclear power plant and on massive infrastructure projects, including two big hydroelectric dams and a major new road in the rainforest. She has finally quit, worn down by ill health and the appointment of a rival minister to speed the approval of energy projects.

It is easy for rich nations to condemn an emerging economy that succumbs to commercial pressures and abandons the environment. But this is not one country's problem. Climate change is the greatest market failure the world has seen; those who pollute are generally not the ones who pay. The Amazon is a precious resource for the whole world, and one for which we must all take responsibility.

Tropical rainforests are the lungs of the planet. They generate most of the world's rainfall and form a precious cooling band around the equator, which acts as the Earth's thermostat. Photosynthesis makes them a massive absorber of carbon, regulating the global climate. Cutting down these forests causes two problems. It removes that carbon sink. And, because trees are mostly cleared by burning, it sends vast amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Almost 25 percent of the world's total emissions now come from deforestation -- far outstripping the 14 percent produced by planes, cars and factories. Yesterday's deforestation alone released as much carbon dioxide into the air as would 8 million people flying from New York to London.

The Stern report, commissioned by the British government, saw curbing deforestation as the single biggest thing we can do to arrest global warming. It is also the cheapest -- 30 times cheaper than reducing emissions from fossil fuels -- and no new technology is needed. Just the political will and about $80 billion, a relatively small bill if it is paid by the whole world.

Stern identified what that should be spent on: clarifying forest property rights, strengthening law enforcement and paying from public funds to counter the lure of cash from vested interests. Brazil will not pay. Why should it pay for something that benefits everyone? Working out a viable international agreement is the challenge for the next Kyoto.

But one thing is clear. This part of Brazil is too important to leave to the Brazilians. If we lose the forests, we lose the fight against climate change.

reports that prosecutors have charged a Preston man for an alleged drive-by after he fired at the wrong Bellevue home while gunning for his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend.

Andrew Michael Cox, 26, remains in King County Jail following allegations that he fired up to five shots at a house near his intended target on Lake Sammamish Parkway May 28 around 2:30 a.m.

Several rounds struck the mistaken residence during the incident, with one bullet going through a bathroom used by the homeowners' young daughter.

Prosecutors say Cox had been harassing his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend the previous day.

Cox fled the scene after the shooting, but police served a search warrant on his home and booked him into jail on July 19.

The man whose home was shot up lives with his wife and three children.

Federal Way schools are seeing a dangerous growing trend.

In a March 24 letter, Superintendent Tom Murphy warned parents of a trend staff is seeing in the district: Boys using Axe body spray to light themselves or their clothing on fire.

The school district has already had a number of students expelled for this action. The district has had a handful of students that they know about try the stunt; no students have been injured and there are no reports of damages to their surroundings, spokeswoman Deb Stenberg said.

"Our first priority is to create a safe and comfortable learning environment for all students," the letter said. "We depend on parents and other adults in our students’ lives to partner with us in that goal. Please model safe behaviors at home and talk with your student about the dangers of playing with fire. Lighting a person on fire can lead to first-, second- or third-degree burns as well as damage to property and criminal prosecution. Students who participate in this activity at school will be expelled."

For those students who have been caught on school property using the spray as a fire launcher, they are immediately expelled. Students can come back to school if they complete a fire safety program with South King Fire and Rescue. Any student caught setting a fire on a school property is given the same sentence.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A Sunni Arab insurgent group was plotting to attack the trial of Saddam Hussein when it resumed today, Iraq's national security adviser said Sunday.

The statement by national security adviser Mouwaffak al-Rubaie's office said the 1920 Revolution Brigades planned to fire rockets at the court building. Iraqi intelligence uncovered the plot, but the statement did not say whether anyone had been arrested.

Saddam and seven co-defendants are on trial for the 1982 killing of more than 140 Shiite Muslims in the town of Dujail following an assassination attempt against him there. The defendants face the death penalty if convicted.

The trial resumed last Monday, with a combative Saddam lashing out at his treatment by American "occupiers and invaders" and lecturing the chief judge about leadership.

It then adjourned until today, only 10 days before the country's parliamentary elections, to give the defense time to replace lawyers who have been assassinated since the trial opened Oct. 19.

The slow pace of the proceedings has angered many Iraqis -- especially majority Shiites -- who believe Saddam should have already been punished for his alleged crimes. Shiites and Kurds were heavily oppressed by Saddam's Sunni Arab-dominated regime.

Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who has joined Saddam's defense team as an adviser, said he and other international lawyers will meet the former leader later in the day to set out a defense strategy.

Clark left Amman, Jordan, for Baghdad early Sunday with Jordanian lawyer Issam Ghazawi and ex-Qatari Justice Minister Najib al-Nueimi.

The three are advising Saddam's lead Iraqi lawyer, Khalil Dulaimi.

MIAMI -- A United Airlines pilot was removed from the cockpit Sunday after security screeners at Miami International Airport reported smelling alcohol, police said.

The pilot was not arrested and no breath test was done, but the airline suspended him pending an internal investigation. The Federal Aviation Administration is also investigating.

Three years ago at the same airport, two American West pilots were arrested after screeners smelled alcohol on their breath. Both pilots were fired by America West and are now serving prison sentences.

The pilot in Sunday's incident was boarding Flight 1404 to Washington, D.C., when Transportation Security Administration screeners thought they smelled alcohol and alerted police, an FAA spokeswoman said.

"The officer noticed what appeared to be an odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the pilot and requested that he exit the aircraft," Miami-Dade police Detective Del Castillo said.

The flight had been scheduled to leave at 9 a.m. with 76 passengers. According to United's Web site, it took off at 3:40 p.m. after a crew change.

DEAR DR. BROTHERS: I've been looking forward to a winter cruise with an old friend, a widow about my age. I've paid for the trip, but because of an accident, she's now unable to go. The travel company tells me it could still accommodate me at the same cost if I were willing to bunk with another woman. I'm not at all sure about going with a total stranger, but a single cabin would be much more costly, and my husband -- who hates to travel -- questions the wisdom of adding that extra expense. Do you have any ideas about this kind of thing? -- C.C.

DEAR C.C.: A great deal depends upon your own temperament and personality. If you're usually flexible, and don't find compromise generally difficult, then you might find it relatively easy to adjust, and even find it challenging and exciting to meet someone new. It's always possible that this woman might happen to share many of your interests, but it's also possible that she might not.

Ask yourself how well you get along with friends who have different political or religious views, and whether you and your husband enjoy and find diversity stimulating. If you do, you may not have too many problems, and you may discover that you have a new traveling buddy for other possible trips.

If you're rigid in your habits -- about when you like to retire, how quiet the room must be, how dark, how you feel about sharing a bathroom -- you might be much better off either canceling or upgrading to a single. You may be able to get some valuable information about this unknown woman from your travel agent. You may even be able to talk with each other before making a final decision.

DEAR DR. BROTHERS: We've had so many financial losses this past year that I can hardly count them. Much was because of a hurricane and the fact that our insurance failed us and didn't cover even half of our losses. I hate to complain about anything, though, because we didn't lose our children or our great dog, who's been with us almost as long as they have.

We've always gone a bit wild in terms of spending on gifts at Christmas. This year, none of our kids is going to get the gifts he or she would like. Santa's really going to disappoint them. I don't want them to be frightened of just how little money we have, and my husband thinks kids shouldn't have to hear about money, but we can't go on blaming it on Santa. -- E.F.

DEAR E.F.: Money is a reality in our lives and our world, and it shouldn't be ignored. It shouldn't be a subject that's never discussed. Children, even the young ones, often like to be included in family concerns. Certainly don't frighten them, but let them know that because of various unexpected problems and losses, each member of the family may need to make a few sacrifices.

If your children are young enough to still believe in Santa, explain that he, too, is going to help out and may not be able to satisfy all their desires so that he can help those children who may have suffered even greater losses. This is a Christmas when EVERYONE'S going to share and focus on helping others, as well as themselves.

They'll understand this, and they'll also feel proud that they're grown-up enough to be included in family meetings.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Officials in Bloomington say sharpshooters killed 62 deer during a hunt to reduce the herd size at a city nature preserve.

The city parks department says shooters from the wildlife management firm White Buffalo Inc. conducted the hunt at the Griffy Lake preserve between mid-December and last week. The parks board had agreed to pay the company $35,000 to kill up to 100 deer this winter.

The (Bloomington) Herald-Times reports the deer bodies were taken to a butcher and that the meat will be donated to the Hoosier Hills Food Bank.

Officials supporting the cull cited evidence showing an overabundance of deer is hurting plant growth within the 1,200-acre preserve on the city's north side. Some residents against the hunt questioned whether the area has a serious deer problem.

The score

USC 51, Washington 24

What it means

The Huskies went up against the nation's best in USC and put forth a solid offensive performance, but Trojans toyed with the UW defense. The loss puts the Huskies out of bowl contention -- a fantasy only the most optimistic players clung to.

Mistakes big and small continue to plague the Huskies, but coach Tyrone Willingham was more encouraged than he was the previous week at Oregon. "I am still very excited about our football team and the effort they gave," he said. "However, we have always said that effort is not enough. ... The champion team (USC) put out effort also and they found a way to win. That is what we have to do."

QB Isaiah Stanback lateralled a pass to Cody Ellis. It was too far behind Ellis and resulted in a fumble. RB Kenny James didn't handle a handoff and also put it on the ground for USC to recover. Both turnovers turned into touchdowns. USC probably would have been able to manufacture its own touchdowns -- it didn't need Washington's help. Still, S Dashon Goldson picked off a pass by USC's No. 2 quarterback, John David Booty, and returned it for a fourth-quarter score.

Stanback didn't raise any eyebrows, but was efficient going 14 of 18 for 201 yards and touchdown. He also had a 52-yard strike to Sonny Shackelford called back because of a penalty. Stanback was sacked four times to dash his rushing numbers (13 carries for 4 yards.) Still, he actually gained 39 yards and scored on a keeper.

Running game

Starting TB Louis Rankin left in the first quarter with turf toe. James filled in for a while before re-injuring a shoulder that has bothered him all season. Senior James Sims got the majority of the handoffs, taking 10 for 24 yards. The Huskies were limited to 59 net rushing yards.

Pass rush

The defensive line continued to struggle. For the second consecutive week, the the unit appeared to be physically outmatched by a long shot. "(USC QB Matt Leinart) has only been sacked six times this year. A lot of their passing game today was a lot of three-step. We rushed three at times, hoping someone gets loose, but ...," defensive coordinator Kent Baer said.

It's tough to put the Huskies' beleaguered secondary in a matchup with the nation's highest-flying offense. Leinart -- and backup Booty -- both threw at will. Washington's secondary rarely got beat long, but Dwayne Jarrett schooled the unit. Steve Smith flew solo through the end zone and had the ball before the Huskies knew where he was. In all, USC passers went 25 of 32 for 272 yards and five touchdowns -- the last number hurting the most. Goldson's fourth-quarter pick was a highlight. CB Matt Fountaine was suspended for disciplinary reasons and was not on the sideline.

Special teams

Improved on returns, the Huskies' coverage struggled. Bush returned a punt 84 yards for a touchdown. He appeared to be wrapped up and we can probably excuse that, but Darnell Bing took a kickoff 68 yards to set up a quick touchdown. It was Bing's first career return. UW botched a punt, as well, when Brian Cushing just blew by blocker Ty Eriks. Willingham called it a one-on-one breakdown. "We just did not get it right. It lacked the proper execution." It also set up a field goal.

Moving up

CB Durrell Moss started for Fountaine and did a solid job. In his first career start, he registered a sack and led the team with 10 tackles. "I thought Durrell stepped in and did some good things, and that is a tough position to be in," Willingham said.

Moving down

After making the Huskies' biggest special teams play of the season with a 92-yard kickoff return to open the game, Marlon Wood fractured his left ankle and is likely out for the remainder of the season.

The Huskies travel to Tempe, Ariz., to face Arizona State, a team fresh off an upset defeat at Stanford. The Sun Devils are 3-4 overall, 1-3 in the Pac-10.

Identification of proteins, drying oils, waxes and resins in the works of art micro‐samples by chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques

  • Journal: Journal of Separation Science

Simplified method for simultaneous identification of proteins, drying oils, waxes, and resins in the works‐of‐art samples was developed. Liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry were used to identify natural materials most frequently encountered in historical paintings. Protein binders were extracted with ammonia and purified using miniaturized solid‐phase microextraction (Omix tips) to efficiently suppress matrix interferences. Zwitterionic stationary phase was used for separation of 16 underivatized amino acids analysis with hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography that was subsequently quantified with liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry was used to analyze drying oils, waxes, and resins after one‐step saponification/transmethylation with (m‐trifluoromethylphenyl)trimethylammonium hydroxide (Meth‐Prep II). While the drawback of this reagent is low reactivity towards hydroxyl groups, sample pretreatment was much simpler as compared to the other methods. Fatty acids derivatization with the Meth‐Prep II reagent was compared with their silylation using N,O‐bis(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide/trimethylchlorosilane mixture. It was concluded that fatty acids analysis as their methyl esters instead of trimethylsilyl esters had a minor impact on the method sensitivity. The developed method was used to analyze samples from 16th and 17th century historical paintings.

Another Zoomifier...

After reading a post on flash-php forum requesting for zoomifier application examples i remembered that i made one once ago, even if it was not finished yet.. some small issues..
For that reason i made another little application using php/gd for resize/crop images.
Here a snapshot of the application running..

The example is running here
Source file is available in the download section, as usual

Now, i'm trying to make the same thing but using ImageMagik, due to most servers' limitation in the amount of allowed memory to PHP. in fact with images larger than 2600 pixel it can cause problems...
