The Visit framework:
Visit configuration is done in app.cfg. The purpose of the configuration options should be pretty clear from the comments in app.cfg, but here are some of the more interesting options.
The number of minutes a visitor may be idle before the visit is considered to be 'expired'.
The default is 20 minutes. If you extend this to be a really long time period, you are defeating the point of tracking a visit. Remember, you are trying to track visits to the site, not track a 'user' over any number of visits.
New in 1.0.6.
Sometimes tracking visits with a session cookie is not possible, either because the user has disabled cookies in his browser or a buggy web client does not transfer the session cookie with the visit key correctly. As a workaround the visit key can also be retrieved from the request parameters (whether URL or request body parameters). This is not enabled by default for security reasons because session-hijacking vulnerabilities can easily be introduced by improper use of session IDs in URLs. To enable retrieval of the visit key from the request params, set visit.source to include the value "form" in your application's configuration. Example:
visit.source = 'cookie, form'
With this setting, the visit framework will look for the visit key first in the session cookie and, if it is not found, in a request parameter with the name set by the visit.form.name configuration setting (default "tg_visit"). If the visit key is found in the request parameters, the request parameter will be stripped from the parameters so your controller methods do not need to handle an extra parameter.
You must make arrangements for the client to transfer the visit key with the request parameters by either adding it to the query string of any URLs pointing to your application (for GET requests) or by adding the parameter to POST requests, for example by adding a hidden form field with the visit key to forms. You can get the value of the current visit key in your templates with tg.identity.visit_key.
Example for including the visit key in a URL for a GET request:
<a href="${tg.url('/foo', {tg.config('visit.form.name', 'tg_visit'): tg.identity.visit_key})}"
>Click here</>
Example for including the visit key in a POST request through a form:
<form action="${tg.url('/foo')}" method="POST">
<input type="hidden"
name="${tg.config('visit.form.name', 'tg_visit')}"
value="${tg.identity.visit_key}" />
Currently the Visit framework does not clean out old visit entries from the database, so expired visits will accumulate there and should be cleaned up once in a while. How often this is necessary depends on the traffic your website gets and whether you want to be able to check who was logged in at which time later.
It is advisable to set up a periodic job to clean up old visit entries every day (week, hour, whatever suits you). Here is an example of a function that accomplishes this if you are using an SQLAlchemy visit/identity model:
# tasks.py
import logger
import datetime
from yourpkg.model import Visit, VisitIdentity, session
log = logging.getLogger('yourpkg.tasks')
def expunge_expired_visits(keep_days=7):
"""Expunge all visits and corresponding visitidentity entries from the
database, which are older than 'keep_days' (default: 7 days)."""
t2 = datetime.timedelta(days=keep_days)
visits = Visit.query.filter(
Visit.expiry < (datetime.datetime.now() - t2))
log.info('Expunging all visits older than %i days.', keep_days)
log.debug('Expunging %i old visit(s).', visits.count())
for visit in visits:
vi = VisitIdentity.by_visit_key(visit.visit_key)
if vi:
This cleans out all expired visit entries, which have expired more than keep_days days ago. It also deletes the VisitIdentity objects corresponding to these expired visits. You can use the TurboGears scheduler to run this function periodically or use a console script entry point to provide a script, which can be run from cron. If you do so, make sure that the configuration file is loaded, so that SQLAlchemy knows about your connection dburi.
The visit framework can be extended with visit plugins or by replacing the standard visit manager with a custom one. Please see the page Extending the Visit Framework for more information.

I check you food diary every once in awhile, how the heck can you gain weight on 1200 to 1500 calories a day, doing the workouts that you do???
You eat soooo good.
I would think your metabolism would be running all the time.
On even 2000 calories a day, you wear off so many more with your intense workouts??
- Julie B said...
Thanks for the comment, anonymous. I know that I didn't gain fat, I know that I need to eat 3000 extra calories to gain a pound of fat, I know that the pasta carbs are making my body say 'oh, she finally ate some processed carbs, lets hold on to water and fill her glycogen stores', and I know that the sodium was high and the sugar bloats me now. BUT I still must say, to see the scale increase bugs me. It will be down tomorrow as I didn't have my usual popcorn at the TWINS game, that would make me crazy as I know I would be holding a few pounds water weight tomorrow morning from it. My body has totally adapted to running 100 miles a week and eating 1500-2000 calories a day. To lose weight I need to run HIIT (high intensity interval training) or the stair stepper, something my body is NOT adapted to. Then I usually lose. For now, I'm happy maintaining right where I am. Although, I'm anxious for my Precision Nutrition information to arrive so I can enjoy something new. I am thinking a nice 10 pound loss in the 16 week challenge might be cool. Didn't I just say I was happy maintaining? Yeah, sure, whatever...

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. (AP) Matthew Wright turned a late steal into a go-ahead layup with 24 seconds left to lift St. Bonaventure to an 82-79 victory over Buffalo Saturday night.
The Bonnies (4-2) trailed 79-76 following Jarod Oldham's free throw for the Bulls (2-7) with 1:33 left. Demetrius Conger cut the deficit to 79-78 with a steal and dunk, and on the ensuing trip up the floor, Wright took the ball from Tony Watson and 3 seconds later tossed in the go-ahead bucket.
Conger stole the ball from Oldham on the next possession with 8 seconds left and hit two free throws in the waning seconds to ice the win.
Buffalo had four turnovers in the final 67 seconds.
Conger finished with 20 points and Wright with 11. Chris Johnson had 14 points and four steals for the Bonnies.
Oldham led Buffalo with 20 points, and Javon McCrea had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

CALGARY — Calgary's resale housing market set an all-time average sale price record in February, eclipsing the mark which has stood since the boom in July 2007.
However, total sales in the market were down 1.21 per cent from the year before.
According to the Calgary Real Estate Board, the average MLS sale price for a single-family home during the month was $518,452, up 10.30 per cent from last year while the average price for overall MLS sales in the city was $457,120, up 7.46 per cent year-over-year.
The previous single-family home record high for average sale price was $506,671 in July 2007 and it was $452,589 in July 2007 as well for overall MLS sales in the city.
"Calgary's housing market remains one of the most affordable in Canada and while other major centres have recently been experiencing slower sales activity Calgary is among the top markets in Canada for demand growth," said Cody Battershill, a realtor with RE/MAX House of Real Estate.
"Alberta incomes continue to lead the country. This is all-around good news for the city as we continue to welcome a steady stream of new Calgarians to be a part of the energy that is Calgary. The city remains an amazing small, big city with one of the highest standards of quality of living in the world and unmatched economic opportunity across all of Canada."
Total Calgary MLS sales of 1,711 in February were down 1.21 per cent from a year ago while single-family home sales fell by 5.62 per cent to 1,209.
In the condo apartment category, sales rose by 13.41 per cent to 279 but the average sale price dipped by 0.40 per cent to $287,830.
And in the condo townhouse sector, sales were up 8.78 per cent to 223 and the average sale price increased by 8.50 per cent to $336,406.
Benchmark prices, which CREB describes as typical properties sold, rose in all housing categories: total residential, 8.25 per cent, $396,100; single-family, 9.31 per cent, $442,500; condo apartment, 5.95 per cent, $252,900; and condo townhouse, 4.62 per cent, $283,000.
Prices during the month were buoyed by very strong activity in the luxury home market.
According to Mike Fotiou, associate broker with First Place Realty in Calgary, there were 63 properties that sold for $1 million or more during the month, a 50 per cent hike from last year, and a record amount for a February.
The month also had the $10.35 million sale of a home in Aspen Woods which set the all-time record for an MLS sale in the city.
"While the average price reflects record levels in Calgary, those numbers can be misleading," said Becky Walters, president of CREB. "Last year there were more home sales in the higher-end segment of the Calgary market compared to 2007, and this trend has continued into 2013, causing the average price to rise above peak levels."
The real estate board said it focuses on the benchmark price which is based on the attributes of the home including repeat sales. This pricing methodology provides a better indication of how prices for similar properties have trended over time, it said.
"While our economy does not reflect growth recorded pre-recession and continues to be plagued by short-term risk, consumers are feeling confident about the long-term prospects of this city and continue to support growth in our housing sector," said Ann-Marie Lurie, chief economist of CREB.

Inspired by the fall season and artwork by artists at one of our buddy schools (Dryden), 3rd grade artists at B.A. created these beautiful pumpkin landscapes. Thanks Mrs. Fuglestad and Dryden artists! Watch the video above to see us working diligently in the art room.
Students used our interactive whiteboard to practice concepts digitally before working physically at their tables. We looked at the lines that Vincent Van Gogh painted in the "Starry Night" and then used our digital markers to trace over some of the swirls and spirals in the painting.
Students then mixed primary colors blue and yellow to make the secondary color green to paint the grass. They mixed primary colors blue and red to make the secondary color purple to paint the wind in the sky.
Artists cut out three pumpkins. We discussed foreground, middleground and background before gluing the pumpkins into place. Some students practiced moving pumpkin shapes around digitally on our interactive whiteboard prior to working physically.
Worksheets and our whiteboard enabled students to practice drawing curved lines on pumpkins prior to drawing them on their artwork to make the pumpkins look more three dimensional and round. The artists cut, glued, and outlined leaves onto their landscapes and outlined their pumpkins and horizon lines as well.
Students will be reminded that Thanksgiving is the perfect time to reflect on all that we are thankful for and will have the opportunity to compose artist statements that will appear under their artwork in their Artsonia galleries. See students typing their artist statements in this video below.
I am thankful to be able to share my love of art with my amazing student artists!
Please view the "3rd Grade Pumpkin Landscapes" galleries on Artsonia by clicking the "Artsonia" tab at the top of this page. I am sure that students would be "thankful" to receive comments about their work. Click on the "Comment" bubble on your child's gallery page to send a web comment. Also, remember to log into your Artsonia account to approve comments. After you approve them, they will appear on your child's page. If you need assistance, please contact me using the form on the home page of this website.

Apple vs Apple Apple Comp. yesterday rejected arguments made by Apple Corp. lawyers that its iTunes Music Service goes beyond the terms of the two companies' 1991 trademark usage agreement, as the their legal confrontation in the English High Court moved into its second day.
Quite the reverse, Apple Comp. advocate Anthony Grabiner QC said. The agreement allows Apple Comp. to "distribute digital entertainment content". He added: "Data transmission is within our field of use, that's what the 1991 deal says and it is inescapable."
Well, let's take a look, shall we? Court documents seen by Reg Hardware reveal that the 1991 agreement defines each firm's "field of use" for their apple trademarks - essentially, what goods and services each is allowed to put their name and logo to.
Apple Comp.'s covers "electronic goods, including but not limited to computers, microprocessors and microprocessor controlled devices, telecommunications equipment, data processing equipment, ancillary and peripheral equipment, and computer software of any kind on any medium". (our italics)
It also encompasses "data processing services, data transmission services, broadcasting services, telecommunications services" and "ancillary services relating to any of the foregoing, including without limitation, training, education, maintenance, repair, financing and distribution" (our italics again).
Finally, it covers "promotional merchandising relating to the foregoing".
That, Apple Comp. argues, is sufficient to allow it to run the iTunes Music Store.
Apple Corp., on the other hand, has the rights to market under its brand "any current or future creative works whose principal content is music and/or musical performances; regardless of the means by which those works are recorded, or communicated, whether tangible or intangible" (our italics).
It's entirely possible to argue that iTunes' digital downloads can be defined within the scope of the phrase "computer software of any kind" and ITMS is both a "data processing service" and a "data transmission service". Unfortunately is is also exactly what what the Apple Corp. field of use forbids.
In short, the agreement is - or rather has become - contradictory: it renders both arguments valid. When it was drawn up, the idea of downloading songs that never become encoded on a physical medium was the stuff of a madman's dream. No wonder the two companies have fallen out over the one data type/creative work that spans both fields of use.
It's a classic spirit of the agreement vs the letter of the agreement argument, and both firms could have saved time and money if they'd have sat down and thrashed out a new sets of terms and conditions. Apple Corp. can hardly argue its brand has been damaged by Apple Comp., even if its successfully shows breach of contract. Few people these days associate the Apple name with the Beatles, and the 1991 agreement clearly specifies which styles of apple icon each of the two companies have a right to, and - so far as our unlearned opinion goes - they are clearly distinguishable, even in the music market. ®

A Tale of Two Sweaters
Sweater one I started this past fall. Hallett's Ledge from Twist Collective, knit in buttery soft pure cormo from the Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm (now Juniper Moon Farm). I finished it in just a few months - pretty good for a lady who hasn't really been knitting much lately.
And that is as finished as you'll see it. Despite knitting, washing, blocking a swatch, this puppy ended up a good 3" smaller across the bust than expected. In all honesty, I had an inkling, especially once I knit the fronts, but this yarn blocks out so much, and I had swatched, for dog's sake. Sadly, a day after I seamed and blocked it, it hit the frog pond. The yarn is way to special to let it languish.
Sweater number two began in a different decade from that which we occupy today. Despite having a speed-friendly gauge of 13st/4in and having no assembly required, it sat with maybe a day's worth of knitting and finishing left for over a year. It was one of those that I never even entered in Ravelry, or took one photgraph of. Alls well that ends well though, and I at least got one wearable sweater out of a weekend of finishing:
The pattern is Shalom Cardigan (Rav link), to which I added sleeves. All the yarn details are here on my Ravelry project page. I do love it though, it is soft and comfy and warm!
As if all of these sweaters are not exciting enough, there has also been spinning and a new sweater is in the making. Perhaps I'll save those for another post.

Materials and Construction
Wood Type: Rubberwood
Rubberwood, also known as parawood or Asian hardwood, is one of the most durable and eco-friendly wood products in the furniture market today. The dense grain makes it stable and strong, and the natural light undertone accurately holds the intended stain colour. Asian hardwood is recycled into home furnishings after the tree's sap has been collected for other industries.
Finish Type:Mango Veneers
Veneers are created using a thin layer of wood to provide a desirable wood texture and finish. Ripple figuring may occur, creating a unique pattern in the finish. Veneers won't warp, crack, or split over time. Naturally grown in Asia, mango wood is a hard and dense wood that lends itself beautifully to furniture making due to its durability and gorgeous grain.
Finish Colour: Burnished Mango
The sleek, burnished mango finish allows for a wide range of matching possibilities to suit your changing interior design tastes.
Hardware: Antiqued Dark Pewter Finish Knobs and Handles
This antique-finished, dark grey hardware looks striking against the dark finish.

I have a couple of questions about the Sengoku period, I love NObunaga's ambition and have always been pretty interested, but before I begin, I'd like to know if there are any books available that are similar to the ROTK series, but for the sengoku period instead?
1. Was there any relation between Yukimura Sanada, and Shingen Takeda? Samurai Warriors show's him at kawakajima, but the thing is Yukimura isn't even born until 1570's, and from what I know Shingen is dead, around that time.
(I know his father served shingen)
2. Why is Nobunaga considered such a cruel person? The only things I can read about him, that lead me to believe he may have been "cruel" was that I heard he burnt down a sacred religious tree, and also at Nagashino apparently his musketeer unit was extremely brutal.
3. Was Hideyoshi loved as a ruler? From what I read, he seemed really cruel, killing christians. While I know that there were many Damiyo that did this, how was it received by the populace? I know even Ieyasu Tokugawa ended up banning Christianity.
4. Is it true that Masamune Date was actually capable of conquering more territory, but stopped in order to improve his territories economic value, and natural beauty?
5. What is the story behind Nobunaga and Mitsuhide's mother? I heard Nobunaga may have killed her (Unknowingly?)

RICHMOND, Va. – Unless you're a dedicated NBA fan, you probably don't know who Chris Copeland is, and you probably don't know that after a breakout rookie season with the New York Knicks, that he signed a multi-year contract with the Indiana Pacers.
But Jamal Shuler knows all about it.
After five seasons playing professionally in Germany and France, the former VCU star knows that if Copeland – a former teammate in Germany – can make it to the NBA, then maybe he can too. The 27-year-old Shuler says the success of Copeland, who played for four teams in Europe, as well as the NBA D-League, will serve as inspiration. The same goes for a guy like former Towson star Gary Neal, who Shuler played against while at VCU. Neal played in Turkey, Italy and Spain before signing with the San Antonio Spurs three years ago and has become one of the best shooters in the league.
So if you ask Shuler if he still has a fire in his belly to someday play in the NBA, he won't hesitate.
"There definitely is, man. There definitely is," he says.
Shuler's desire to play in the NBA is one of the reasons you can find him back on the VCU campus every summer. In addition to his work in the weight room, Shuler, who lives in the Richmond area in the offseason, works out and plays pickup games with an impressive group of pros and former Rams at Franklin Street Gym. Eric Maynor has been a fixture in the games for years, as have former Rams B.A. Walker, Brandon Rozzell and a host of others. This summer, Reggie Williams of the Charlotte Bobcats is said to have been involved. It's that type of training environment that Shuler says will keep his dream alive.

Real estate investment trusts, or REITs, are hot in the markets. Just on January 17th, CBS rose 8% on the news that the company would spin out its billboard advertising unit; of course spinouts are looked upon highly in general, but REITs can achieve tax arbitrage as long as they distribute 90% of profits to shareholders. On the same day, billionaire Steve Cohen's SAC Capital Advisors filed a 13G with the SEC to disclose that the fund owned 3.3 million shares of Colony Financial /zigman2/quotes/205504962/composite CLNY +1.76% , giving it 5.2% of the total shares outstanding.
Colony invests in commercial mortgage loans and other real estate debt, and has a market capitalization of about $880 million (with an average of about 640,000 shares traded daily and a current stock price of over $21, for over $13 million in daily dollar volume). Our database of 13F filings shows that SAC had owned about 340,000 shares of the stock at the end of September, so Cohen and his team have been buying quite a bit of this position in the last three and a half months. See more of Cohen's stock picks .
Because REITs distribute considerable cash to shareholders, they often make attractive income stocks and Colony Financial Inc is no exception, with an estimated forward dividend yield of 6.6%. The most recent quarterly payment was 40 cents per share, which actually annualizes to a 7.5% yield. That payment was an increase from the 35 cents per share the company had offered in the previous two quarters. While Colony does tend to maintain increases in its dividend payments over time, the figure for its December 2010 dividend was slightly higher than future payments. In any case, we would expect that yields would indeed be high which is of particular interest in a low interest rate environment.
Colony's core earnings- a financial metric which adds back depreciation- was $12 million for the third quarter of 2012, down from $16 million in Q3 2011 (though for the first nine months of the year, core earnings were up). Depreciation is often not a relevant "expense" in real estate as real estate assets- as opposed to equipment or other assets- are unlikely to decrease in value and may actually increase in price, and for this reason earnings are often not useful in evaluating REITs. Annualized core earnings were $56 million, and the current market cap represents a multiple of 16 on that figure.
Chuck Royce's Royce & Associates owned 1.7 million shares of Colony Financial Inc at the end of September (find Royce's favorite stocks) . SAB Capital Management, a fund managed by Brian Jackelow which has investments in many other REITs, initiated a position of about 530,000 shares (check out more stocks SAB was buying) . Multiple Colony insiders sold shares at the end of December (see a history of insider sales at the company) ; while we don't consider insider sales to be as significant as insider purchases, since the principles of diversification can make insider selling rational, it is still a factor to be aware of.
Of course, investors could consider other REITs instead of Colony if they are interested in the high yields offered by this type of business. Examples of diversified REITs include Vornado Realty Trust /zigman2/quotes/207195881/composite VNO -0.35% , W.P. Carey /zigman2/quotes/208710401/composite WPC +0.65% , and National Retail Properties /zigman2/quotes/205335487/composite NNN +0.59% , which all carry yields in the 3% to 5% range and have been publicly traded for at least one year. Some REITs with particularly high yields- and, as a result, quite a bit of attention from the market- are Annaly Capital Management /zigman2/quotes/207246168/composite NLY +1.65% at 12% and American Capital Agency Corp /zigman2/quotes/203716359/composite AGNC +2.29% at 16%. However, we would note that these companies have decreased their dividend payments in recent quarters and so investors should be wary of putting too much emphasis on the current yield.

When I came in to work this morning, everyone knew what I had been up to, thanks to my ever-growing Facebook photo album – building my dream craft table. And by building I mean watching my boyfriend run with a plan he's had in his brain for months. So for this post, I turn it over to Nick Britsky and his tutorial on how to build a multipurpose craft table.
One 4'x8′ sheet of Melamine/particle board
Four 1×6's – 6′
Four 1×6's – 8′
One 4'x4′ sheet of plywood (3/8 thick +/-)
Two 4″x4″ pine posts (avoid treated. use cedar only if you have lots of cash to burn)
2″ general purpose screws (I used the gold ones at THD)
21′ of molding (optional)
Paint (optional)
Casters (optional)
1) Figure out the size of your table and adjust the supplies as necessary. We went with a 4'x6′ table top with a 4'x4′ shelf underneath. This gave us a 2′ overhang so you can sit under one side
2) Cut pieces for top of the table using two 6′ 1x6s for the ends, 2 6′ 1x6s cut down to 70.5″ (removing the width of 2 boards = 1.5″) and split one 8′ 1×6 into two 46.5″ pieces.
3) Assemble the top using the longest pieces for the edges. Sandwich the smallest pieces on the top and bottom and place the 70.5″ pieces in the middle (equally spaced, roughly 16″ apart) to make a frame. Pre-drill with a 1/8″ drill bit and connect each joint with 2 screws. If you have a T-square or speed square, I recommend checking the squareness as you go.
4) Cut your legs to height. Standard desk height is 30″ and standard workbench height is 36." Customize if you are taller or shorter. If you want to add casters don't forget to account for them. My casters were 4.5″ tall so I cut mine legs 25.5 and almost got all the legs out of one post.
5) Add casters to the post with necessary hardware. We had an un-level floor so used the threaded kind with T-nuts.
6) Place one leg in each corner on one short end of the table just below the height of the 1x6s. Affix with 4 screws (2 on each side). Clamps and a level or T-square help with this a lot.
7) Affix the remaining two legs 44.5″ away from each leg you just affixed using the same method but only with two screws.
8) You have a faux table that is a bit wobbly at this point. Now to make the base.
9) Cut one 8′ 1×6 to make two 48″ pieces. They may be a bit shy depending on the length of the board you bought. Cut another two 8′ 1×6 to make four 46.5." These will make up the lower shelf.
10) Pick a height for your shelf. I used the height of the speed square which was about 12." Draw a line at this level on the left sides of the left legs and the right sides of the right legs. Affix a 48″ board on each side at this height. Then place the two of the 46.5″ boards perpendicular to those but on the inside of the legs. To finish place the remaining two 46.5″ boards in the middle as you did on the table top level.
11) The table is now much more stable. You are ready to paint this part of the table.
12) Cut the 4'x4′ plywood to 48″ (no cut) by 46.5″. Using an edge clamp and a circular saw makes this a quick process. Just make sure you check your measurements twice. It's easy to screw up with the edge clamp. That just sets on the bottom and is ready to paint, too.
13) Cut the melamine to 4'x6′ (may require two cuts, mine did) and place on top free floating. This is really heavy and shouldn't move. If it does, add some cleats from the bottom.
14) I took it one more step and added corner molding to finish the particleboard edge. I cut the melamine a bit over sized so with the molding the table stop snapped right on. I used construction adhesive and pneumatic brads to hold the molding in place. Then puttied & sanded the holes before painting. My corners weren't perfect so I puttied those, too.
15) Stain or paint the molding.
16) Enjoy bonus points from significant other for at least two weeks.
Thanks, Nick! Big bonus points here! I've stored my heavier crafty machines on the bottom shelf as well as items I access frequently, such as my scrap stash, favorite books, and paper cutter. With the two chairs I put at the end of the table, we're ready for craft night in the Mitten! Who wants to join me?!
Who else has a great custom workspace? I'd love to see.

Who better than a man who's nicknamed "Mr. 500" to yell "Gentlemen, start your engines!" and kick off the Emory Healthcare 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race as grand marshal? When it came time to pick a grand marshal for the Labor Day weekend night race event, officials from Emory Healthcare and the Atlanta Motor Speedway immediately identified the perfect candidate, Terry "Mr. 500" Green.
Terry's nickname is not the only thing making him a good fit for the Emory Healthcare 500 grand marshal position. His history with Emory Healthcare is a long one; in fact, it spans his entire life. Almost 61 years to the day after being born at Emory, Terry was reborn in the same place as the recipient of Emory University Hospital's 500th heart transplant.
While the nickname and his life changing transplant experience are certainly enough to make him the perfect Emory Healthcare 500 grand marshal, Terry's history with Emory goes even deeper. During a vacation with his wife on a cruise, Terry suffered a heart attack and was stabilized while on the ship before being transported back to Georgia and Emory for care. Coincidentally, the doctors who cared for him on the cruise were both trained at Emory University School of Medicine.
As Terry describes, "You talk about another extra special link to this whole experience; not only was my life saved on foreign soil by doctors who learned their trade at Emory, but I would receive my transplant there, was born there, and will now forever be known as 'Mr. 500' for this once-in-a-lifetime event." As a result, Terry has truly become a special part of the Emory Healthcare family.
Since receiving his treatment and heart transplant at Emory, Terry has served as an ambassador for Emory Healthcare. He is now is able to continue that role in the grand marshal position. As he remarks, "To be named grand marshal for the Emory Healthcare 500, an event that is such an incredible show, and means so much to Georgia and the Atlanta Metropolitan area each year, is beyond a special surprise, as well as an honor."

Tour de France Tech: Cofidis' Look 695
It was five years in development, but Cofidis' Look 695 was worth the wait.
Sometimes a new bike pops up on the scene, and it's a little ho-hum: there's just not much to say about it. Other times, the thing is so packed with features and new designs that it's hard to know where to start.
Look's new 695 frameset falls into the latter category.
Team Cofidis riders should consider themselves lucky to ride one of the more technology-laden bikes in the peloton. The 695 is something of a departure for the French company, which has mostly developed road frames with a relatively traditional look and feel. But Arthur Espos, Look's media and PR rep, assures us that the exotic-looking machine is not frivolous. Every piece on the bike has a purpose.
"What makes it special is just complete integration," he said. "With the 695 it's just complete integration with a purpose." The crank, bottom bracket, seat post, headset and fork are all purposely built for the bike and meant to contribute to a specific function.
Most obvious on the new bike is Look's Zed 2 crankset. A new version of the crank that debuted two years ago on the 596 time trial frame, it's made entirely from carbon fiber as a single piece — arms, spider, spindle and all. Look says it's stiffer and lighter than anything on the market.
The pedals thread into tri-lobed inserts at the ends of the crankarms. Rotating the lobes adjusts the effective crank length between 170mm, 172.5mm, or 175mm to accommodate multiple sizes from one mold. New for the Zed 2, the lobes will accept any pedals to be threaded in, rather than just special spindles only available from Look's own Kéo pedals as on the original Zed cranks. With similar versatility, the carbon chainring spider has bolt holes for either standard or compact chainring sizes.
The Zed 2 cranks turn on massive 65mm sealed cartridge bearings. The 695 BB shell is fantastically oversized to accommodate the huge bearings. Continuous strands of carbon are oriented optimally for stiffness across all the frame junctions, including the BB shell, down tube, seat tube, and chain stays.
Next, check out the fork and headset for innovation and integration. Look says the new HSC 7 fork is 15 percent stiffer and 16 percent lighter than the prior top-of-the-line HSC 6 featured on this year's 595 frameset. Like the cranks, the HSC 7 is 100 percent carbon fiber in construction, including the dropouts. It turns on not just one oversized bearing, but two; rather than a tapered steerer, it uses 1.5-inch bearings both top and bottom. The lower bearing nests deeply and directly against the carbon fiber of the head tube's bottom bore.
Headset preload is adjusted via Look's new Head Fit 3 system, which doesn't require a top cap or compression plug. With Head Fit 3, an adjustable carbon ring below the stem permits headset fine-tuning independent of stem placement. The system saves about 40 grams from a traditional plug and top cap.
What about that funky carbon stem? It's called C-Stem, and as with some of Look's prior component offerings, it's adjustable. A moon-shaped lobe in the handlebar clamp reverses to increase or reduce effective stem length by 10mm, and a cam at the steerer clamp permits three different tilt angles. Even with the reach adjustments built in, Look is still making five lengths of the 140-gram C-Stem, creating a range from 80 to 130mm, in 10mm increments.
Look's E-Post carries forward from the current 595 and 586 models. It does require cutting an extended seat mast to fit, but offers 3cm vertical adjustment of saddle height once cut. And it incorporates interchangeable elastomer damper inserts to help absorb road vibration.
Finally, carbon fiber rear dropouts are co-molded with the seat stays and chain stays.
It's quite a piece of work. "It's been five-plus years in development," said Espos. "About the same time as when we were working on the 596 that we introduced two years ago."
And by the looks of it, Look's new 695 should be worth that five-year wait.

Group to ride to Washington to honor Brookfield officer who died on duty
A year after a town of Brookfield police officer died on duty at age 32, his parents open up about the sudden tragedy and the special honor his fellow officers are giving him.
"It's been a rough year. It's been a rough year for us, but we're trying to go forward," said Ron Bishop, whose son died on duty.
It's taken more than a year for Ron and Barb Bishop to gather the strength to talk about the loss of their only child, Don Bishop.
"You hear a car come up the driveway and you think, 'Oh, Don's here,' but no he's not. That's what we miss is that closeness with our son," Barb Bishop said.
Don Bishop died last April from a heart attack while responding to a burglary call.
He had been on the force for two years after working for other departments in Waukesha County.
Just days before he died, he was with his parents and in great spirits.
"When we left, he gave us both a hug and that was it," Ron Bishop said.
"That was the last hug we got from him," Barb Bishop said.
The law enforcement community is family to the Bishops, and now Wisconsin police officers are going to honor Don by taking part in a memorial bike ride to the nation's capital.
Many, like West Bend's Matt Rohlinger, rode last year for Wauwatosa Officer Jen Sebena and Milwaukee County sheriff's Deputy Sergio Aleman.
"This is our way of telling Don's story to the nation and ultimately taking Don to his final place of honor in Washington, D.C.," Rohlinger said.
Fellow Brookfield officers said it will be a bittersweet moment.
"To see Don's name engraved on the wall, it's going to be a very overwhelming week for us, but it's an honor to serve with him," town of Brookfield police Lt. David Mironischen
The Bishops are flying out this weekend to meet up with the Wisconsin officers as they ride into Washington, D.C.
There are several ceremonies next week honoring police officers who have died on duty this year across the country.

Bakewell has always been one of hubby's favourites, infact when I first met him his diet consisted of Mr Kipling Bakewell tarts along with packets of jaffa cakes. His diet was terrible but then again he was a teenager living on his own and no one to feed him regular good meals! My hubby is my number one fan and enjoys all my bakes but this cake wins hands down for him.
Looking beyond the way the sponges came out slightly lopsided this cake turned out tasting absolutely perfect. This classic combination has this cake bursting with almond flavour, sandwiched together with the luxurious dark morello cherry conserve and topped with a blanket of silky white icing adorned with toasted flaked almonds and glace cherry halves.
Serves 8
For The Cake200g (8oz butter), well softened, + extra for greasing
200g (8oz) caster sugar
100g (4 oz) ground almonds
100g (4 oz) self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon almond extract or essence4 large eggs
Pinch of salt
For The Filling & Top
½ a 340g (approx 12 oz) jar of morello cherry conserve/jam
175g (6 oz) icing sugar
5-6 teaspoons water or lemon juice
1 tablespoon flaked almonds, lightly toasted
2 x 20cm (8 in) round sandwich tins, greased with butter and base lined with baking paper.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
Using electric beaters, beat together all the cake ingredients until smooth. Divide the batter equally between tins and level the tops with a spatula. Bake in the centre of the oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown and springy to the touch or a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. *Do not open the oven door until 25 minutes of baking to check the cake*.
Place the tins onto a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes before turning out to fully cool. Make sure the top of one of the cakes is facing up as you'll want a smooth surface for the icing later on.
When cool, put one sponge on a serving plate, then spread with conserve/jam. Sandwich the second sponge on top.
Sieve the icing sugar into a large bowl. Add the water or lemon juice, then stir until smooth and thick. Spread evenly over the top and let it dribble over the sides. Scatter with toasted flaked almonds on the icing and leave to set for a few minutes before cutting.
This is an easy all in one method for making a sponge cake -please make sure your butter is fully softened before you start.
If you find morello cherry conserve/jam difficult to source, substitute with raspberry conserve/jam, it will be just as delicious!
To toast flaked almonds ~ place a single layer in a dry frying pan for toasting. With the frying pan over medium-high heat, stir or shake the nuts continually for 3 to 5 minutes or until they start to turn golden. Remove them from the cooking pan as soon as they're done.
A few glacé cherries placed on top of the icing additionally with the flaked toasted almonds would also be a lovely.

Impact Solutions for Handtools
Simple hand tools made from steel are found in private residences, manufacturing facilities, construction sites and service garages around the world. Many of these tools, such as chisels and pin punches, are purposefully designed to be impacted. Others, including screwdrivers and wrenches, have a different purpose but are quite often impacted when used in ways other then what they were intended.
Tools that are improperly designed or used can bend or crack when being struck with a hammer. The resulting debris or hammer rebound can injure the user or cause damage to surrounding objects. While the effects of the impact failure are rarely severe, a manufacturer can earn a reputation for poor quality that is difficult to overcome. To avoid this problem, tool designers should verify the mechanical design of steel shafts and integrated plastic handle within a controlled test environment, using an appropriate impact system.
To answer this test situation we configured a CEAST 9350 with High Energy option test instrument with a 50,000 lb (222 kN) tup to capture the high-impact loads expected during tool strikes. A standard 2-inch spherical insert (to simulate the head of a hammer) was used to strike the various products, which were all mounted in a custom fixture to ensure direct axial loading. A anti-rebound device prevented second strikes on the specimen.
The DAS (Data Acquisition System) with Visual Impact software provided a wealth of performance data previously not available using a more basic free-fall test technique. Analysis software was used to develop a thorough database of impact energies required to initiate damage in several hand tool designs. Use of the CEAST 9350 also enabled repeat testing at defined energy levels to quantify the service life of tools.
CEAST 9300 Series
Impact resistance is one of the most important properties for component designers to consider, as well as the most difficult to quantify. Impact resistance is a critical measure of service life and more importantly these days, it involves the perplexing problem of product safety and liability. With the combined experience of Dynatup® and CEAST, Instron® has more than 80 years experience in designing impact testing systems to simulate real-life impact conditions.

Conservation and Environment in Costa Rica: Monthly Updates
Conservation in Costa Rica - Monthly Update December 2010
December is always a month for finishing things off, I think that's true for everyone around the world, we all want things to be done for one year so we can start the new year with no backlog of work still hanging over us from the year that has just passed. Staff here at Barra Honda are no different, so we have been working hard to finish 2010's investigation work and get things ready for 2011 so we can improve on things even further. The final activities of the camera, butterfly and bat projects all gave us some brilliant results which really made the month even more exciting!
The bat project's final 2 sessions gave us a new species of bat not only for Barra Honda but for the area of Guanacaste, the Centuri senex (wrinkle-faced bat) is one of the more specialized species of bat we have encountered in Barra Honda. As the name suggests its face is covered in thick wrinkles which are used to help the bat feed. It peels the skin off very ripe fruits and then literally stuffs its head in and mashes the fruit up. Doing this makes the juices trickle down its wrinkles and in to its mouth! The Centuri senex has never been sighted in Barra Honda, so this new species now brings our total to 30 which we are hoping to improve upon even more in 2011 by surveying different areas further into the forest.
The Sensor Cameras have also been giving us the usual good results this month, we have captured photos of several deer, our young ocelot again and an armadillo, but the best thing to happen on this project this month was the sighting of a new species of snake, Tantilla armillata, which we sighted near one of the cameras. This species is completely harmless to humans, mainly feeding on scorpions, spiders and centipedes.
The Butterfly project actually finished ahead of schedule this month, mainly due to the good weather that didn't affect this project as much as the other two. We managed to finish the butterfly project for this year during the first week of December and managed to capture another species of butterfly. Currently we trying identify this new species but we are confident this will bring our total up to 69 species, which is a good start but we think we can find a lot more.
As always we have been doing several other jobs around the camp, one of the bigger ones was finishing the new laundry area, which is now as finished as it will be for a while (just the electrics and a little more work on the drainage system to do). The reason why we have put the final touches on standby is because we have had to start a new project urgently...a new building for volunteers!
Our projected numbers for the end of January have meant making a new building to cope with the numbers and of course throughout the year we will now have 4 rooms so people can spread out a little more and be more comfortable. As I write this the building is quickly taking shape, the walls are half done and we are hoping that it a week or two we will have the whole thing finished so our new volunteers will have a new room to start their stay in!
During December we also took a business trip to Palo Verde National Park, we were invited to their investigation area so that we could exchange ideas and information with the people there. It was a good day out, we learnt a few interesting things about the bird projects they have running in the area and we were able to teach them a great deal about how to make things happen a lot more quickly.
We finished the day with the chief of investigations in Palo Verde and were able to plan another visit, this time with the volunteers in a month's time. Hopefully we will be able to show everyone what Palo Verde has to offer and why it is so important to the conservation of wildlife in Costa Rica.
Of course December is also a month of Fiestas and Christmas. The New Year is a great time for us to celebrate all of the work we have done over the year, all of the new discoveries (several species of butterfly, 2 species of mammal, 9 species of bat and several new species of amphibians and reptiles) and of course all of the projects we have completed (completing the hard work on the football field, mapping the trails, clearing trails, renovating the buildings, building new buildings and many more things!).
All of this work has been done by our hard working volunteers, we honestly can't do the work we do without your help and the support we receive from the many people in Projects Abroad offices around the world and the Government of Costa Rica. Thank you all for making 2010 so successful, we have beaten all of our expectations in every area and we are looking forward to doing the same again in 2011!

This view of the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea includes the island nation of Cyprus, as well as (counterclockwise along the shoreline from bottom left) Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula, Israel-Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. Inland, Jordan and parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq are also visible.
The dry, arid landscape occupying most of the image is interrputed by several lakes and rivers. Below, in Egypt, the Nile River Delta creates a wide, fan-shaped green area along the Mediterranean coast.
To the northeast, the Dead Sea can be seen in the Jordan Rift Valley, between Israel-Palestine and the West Bank (left) and Jordan (right). The lower part of this inland sea appears greenish due to an extensive network of salt evaporation pans called the Dead Sea Dikes.
Continuing to the north, Lake Assad is visible in Syria, connected to the Euphrates River. North of Lake Assad is Lake Atatürk Dam, in Turkey.
Finally, also located in Turkey, at the top left, is Lake Tuz. In contrast with the other lakes seen in this image, Lake Tuz appears bright white. It is a salt lake, and the second largest lake in Turkey.

A senior executive for Google said that the tech titan never bid for the social messaging company Whatsapp, according to a report.
Facebook purchased the startup Whatsapp for $19 billion after it was reported that Google bid $10 billion, but the report wasn't true, the Telegraph reported.
U.S. & World
Sundar Pichai, senior vice president at Google overseeing Android, Chrome and Google Apps, spiked the report at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. "Whatsapp was definitely an exciting product," he told the Telegraph. "We never made an offer to acquire them. Press reports to the contrary are simply untrue."
Recently Mark Zuckerberg said that Whatsapp was worth more than the $19 billion he paid, but perhaps now that statement seems a bit less believable. In fact, anonymous sources suggested that the news of the Google bid were in "Facebook's interest."

The MMM experience is intended to be comforting, entertaining and spiritual but it is emphatically not a church service. It is held in the candle‐lit sanctuary of the grand Meetinghouse, a place of gathering and welcoming for the entire Gloucester community for over 200 years. The Meetinghouse, whose lantern tower with a Paul Revere bell has guided generations of mariners safely into our harbor, is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the oldest surviving church building on Cape Ann.
The August event will feature meditation leader Brian King with cellist Kristen Miller. There will be a collation with light refreshments afterwards in the Entrance House, giving participants the opportunity to meet the leaders and each other in a convivial atmosphere.
The Sanctuary is accessible with facilities for persons with disabilities via the side entrance at 10 Church Street. A free‐will offering of $10 is requested but no one will be turned away and everyone is welcome regardless of financial capability.
Find your way Sunday evening to the green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets to discover an hour of peace, enjoyment and contemplation in Gloucester's historic 1806 Meetinghouse.
MEDITATION LEADER: Brian King is a singer, songwriter, and performer. Since a young age, he has cultivated his passion for spirituality, religion, and mythology by studying multiple traditions from Buddhism, Neo‐Shamanism, and Theosophy to Tarot, Jungian psychology and world mythology. Brian has been greatly influenced by the works and teachings of Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, and Pema Chodron. He has practiced various forms of meditation and contemplation throughout his life, and has found the chakra system to be a beautiful way to balance the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
For a decade, Brian worked in public health as director of Prism LGBT Health. He fronts the local band neo‐cabaret band, What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?
MUSICIAN: Cellist Kristen Miller is a one‐woman ensemble. She connects her antique cello to a live digital recorder to stack layers of lush cello, spoken word and singing to create a style that
Billboard writer Bobby Borg calls "romantically, hauntingly, charmingly, brilliant." As a solo artist, Kristen has released three CD's, all of which charted on college and community radio nationwide. Kristen is the recipient of several awards and scholarships, including Jam Magazine's Female Artist of the Year, and the Zara Nelsova Cellist Award for excellence in performance. In addition to solo performing and film scoring, Kristen also enjoys work as a session cellist. She has appeared on records for artists as diverse and varied as Vance Gilbert, Assembly of Dust, and Grammy Award winner Irma Thomas. When she is not performing, Kristen shares the joy of cello and singing with students of all ages. She is also a practicing Shaman, trained in the Unani tradition from Malaysia.
Kristen can be found on iTunes, CD baby, Facebook, and her official website, ic.com and her personal website http://www.KristenMillerMusic.com

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Steak with Tomatoes and Pesto Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
When it's time to grill, the one thing I crave most is a great big steak. I'm talking a massive 16-ounce, one-inch thick monster. Accept no substitutes. One of these guys can easily feed two, and I actually still had leftovers. Steak and charcoal are quite fond of each other so I didn't need to look hard for a recipe. I just used the instructions for cooking a steak in Bobby Flay's Grill It! which amounted to cooking it over high-heat for about five minutes per side. What hung me up was the pairing part.
I had a glut of tomatoes and basil, so those two had to be involved. I found this recipe in the Chicago Tribune, which tops grilled thick tomatoes with a spoonful of pesto. My plan was to serve the tomatoes and pesto next to the steak to create a fresh sauce—it worked beautifully.
The fresh pesto lightened up the meal and the tomatoes added a much needed acid. Sure a steak served alone is always a treat, but this is a great way to spruce up the simple meal with the summer bounty.
- Yield:2
- 1 16-ounce strip steak (about 1-inch thick)
- 2 large Brandywine tomatoes
- Salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Bring a charcoal grill, gas grill, or grill pan to high heat. Meanwhile, make the pesto. Place the pine nuts in a non-stick skillet set over medium high heat. When they are fragrant and slightly browned transfer them to a food processor. Add the basil and garlic. Process until it becomes a paste. With the motor running, drizzle in 4 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the Parmesan.
Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper, and coat in 1 tablespoon of oil. Set on the hot grill. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes a side for medium-rare. Cooking times will go way down if you are using a thinner steak. Adjust accordingly. Set aside.
Coat the tomatoes in the remaining tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for another minute on the other side.
Slice up the steak, or leave it whole. Serve with the tomato slices. Spoon some of the pesto sauce on top of the tomatoes. Serve.

Ice-templated Hybrid Materials
Ulrike Wegst, Assistant Professor, Drexel University
Monday, February 7, 2011, 3:30pm
This seminar is part of the Jones Seminars on Science, Technology, and Society series
Initially developed for the manufacture of highly dense ceramics, freeze-casting, a process that uses the solidification of a liquid carrier such as water for templating, has in recent years been discovered as a route to create highly porous hybrid materials with complex, hierarchical architectures. Freeze-casting is highly attractive for the manufacture of materials for applications that range from scaffolds for tissue engineering to structures for energy generation because it offers several advantages over other techniques. One advantage is that all classes of materials — polymers, ceramics, metals and their composites — can be shaped with it; another is that materials can be processed with benign, biocompatible liquid carriers; a third is that the resulting hierarchical microstructures can be carefully controlled by both the physical and chemical properties of the components used and the processing parameters such as the cooling rate; finally advantage can be taken of component self-assembly during solidification. The amount, type, size and geometry of the particles and the type of liquid carrier determine the slurry's viscosity and amount of sedimentation as well as the slurry's thermal properties and freezing behavior. In combination with the freezing front velocity and additives, they also determine pore connectivity and morphometry. As a result, the thickness and spacing of the cell walls and the size and the number of the material bridges between them can be controlled, as can be the cell wall's bulk and surface properties, and thus the materials interaction with a second phase. This is important for the manufacture of composites by infiltration or for the optimization of the interaction between scaffold and native tissue in biomedical applications. Material composition and processing parameters further determine the anisotropy ratio between the strong and stiff freezing direction and the relatively weaker direction perpendicular to it. As a result, the freeze-casting process is ideally suited for the custom-designed manufacture of complex, hybrid materials with hierarchical structures. By freeze-casting it is possible to emulate in synthetic materials multi-level hierarchical composite structures, which are thought to be the origin of the mechanical property amplification which is frequently observed in biological materials. Systematic studies are under way to correlate the composition, structure and properties of freeze-cast materials with processing parameters.
About the Speaker
Dr. Ulrike G. K. Wegst, Anne Stevens Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Drexel University, studied Physics and Materials Science at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany and at the University of Cambridge, UK. She received her PhD from the University of Cambridge for her analysis of the Mechanical Performance of Natural Materials. Until 2000 she worked as a Research Associate in the Engineering Design Centre of the Cambridge University Engineering Department on the development of a software-based methodology for the environmentally-conscious selection of materials and processes, since then implemented in the CES Eco-Selector software. From 2000 to 2001 Ulrike Wegst was a Visiting Scientist at the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, France, where she started her work on the qualitative and quantitative characterization of biological materials using synchrotron-generated X-rays. From 2001 to 2007 she was a staff scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research, Stuttgart, Germany. Since 2005, she is a Faculty Guest Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The research of Dr. Wegst's focuses on three main topics: biological materials, biomimetics and multifunctional hybrid materials. Important in all is a systematic understanding of the relationship between structure, properties and function. To achieve this, mechanical property measurements at a number of length scales of the material's hierarchical structure, ranging from macroscopical to in situ testing in SEM and FIB, are combined with microstructural characterization by electron microscopy and X-ray tomography, and modeling. The lessons learned are captured in the software-based Biomimetic Design Guide tool to enable the systematic transfer of biological principles of function and efficiency to technology. Dr. Wegst applies biomimetic principles in the design of novel hybrid materials and their manufacture by freeze-casting ('ice-templating') for applications that range from biomaterials for spinal cord repair and bone regeneration to multifunctional materials for energy generation and those in which a particular combination of structural, mechanical, optical, thermal and electrical properties is required.
