The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco
Given the Ritz-Carlton’s location in the famously tolerant city of San Francisco, it is not surprising that the property welcomes a wide range of guests. Most of the animals that stay at the 16-year-old hotel, which is set in the former Metropolitan Life Insurance building near Union Square, are of the more common household varieties. A famous pop star, for instance, once paid the full $8,000 rate so that her Jack Russell terriers, which arrived in San Francisco a day before their owner, could have the hotel’s Presidential Suite 910 to themselves. For a far more modest fee, a guest’s canine companion will receive a welcome card from the Ritz-Carlton’s general manager, a custom-made bronze bed, bottled mineral water, and a dog bowl filled with entrées such as chopped beef tenderloin with boiled and sliced baby carrots. Guided walks and bedtime stories are available upon request. Of course, the Ritz-Carlton showers most of its attention on human | guests, who are the primary beneficiaries of a $12.5 million renovation that was completed last year. All of the hotel’s 336 rooms and suites now have wireless Internet access and plasma-screen TVs, and the two-and-a-half-bath suites 910 and 919 include 1,000-thread-count sheets and three LCD TVs apiece. Accommodations Among the 336 rooms and suites are the Club Level Accommodations on floors eight and nine, where guests enjoy five complimentary food and beverage presentations per | [

After the recent articles on taking the lane, this is a good time to re-post one of the pre-website-transition articles about lane positioning.
What is the best lane positioning for a cyclist?
a) As far to the right as possible
b) At least an arm’s length away from the edge of the usable roadway
c) On the sidewalk
d) On the left side of the road
If you’ve been following this blog, you know not to bicycle on the sidewalk. Unfortunately, many cyclists choose option D, which may be appropriate for a pedestrian but is dangerous for a cyclist. A lot of people will also choose answer A.
But the best answer is B, about 18”, or an arm’s length, away from the edge of the usable roadway.
This excellent short video | shows the advantages of lane positioning. Here is another article that covers this topic: http://www.bicyclinglife.com/SafetySkills/FrankNFred003.htm
Some people worry that it is the law to ride on the right edge. Missouri law stipulates that bicyclists ride as far to the right as is safe1. The bicyclist decides what is safe.
Some people worry that motorists will get angry. In my experience, most motorists behave courteously, respectfully, and safely. In most bicycle-motorist collisions the motorist didn’t see the cyclist, so if a | [

Sigma-Aldrich offers a wide range of protease inhibitors to ensure that proteolytic degradation does not occur during plant cell lysis and protein extraction.
Protease inhibitors are molecules that inhibit the function of a large group of naturally occurring enzymes called proteases.

During plant protein isolation procedures, proteases can quickly degrade proteins | and drastically reduce their yield for purification. Sigma-Aldrich’s protease inhibitor cocktails have been optimized to maintain and preserve protein functionality following cell lysis and are available in powder, DMSO solution, or tablet form.

Blizzards and the Birth of the ATM
“Build it and they will come.” We hear that mantra a lot. But with innovation, it is often more like, “Solve a pain and they will come.” The ultimate success of the automated teller machine (ATM) is a great example of this.
The other night I was having dinner with someone who in the mid-1970’s worked with Citibank, the second largest bank at the time. He shared with me the story of the birth of the ATM, at least from his perspective.
In 1977, after investing hundreds of millions of dollars in ATM technology research and development, Citibank decided to install machines across all of | New York City. But at first, they were not very popular. The technology was confusing to first-time users, the machines were not always accurate (they sometimes dispensed the wrong amount of money), and they were impersonal. I was told that customers who used ATM machines were so frustrated that many closed their accounts.
The ATM may never have been an instant hit if it weren’t for a natural disaster.

Choosing a Television Cabinet
Selecting audio visual furniture is slightly different than other types of furnishings. Aside from the furniture fitting into the room it’s intended for, all of our audio and visual components must also fit properly into the various shelves, stands, and cabinets within the items you purchase. Here are a few things to consider prior to making a purchase:
It’s extremely important to keep in mind that televisions, and the cabinets that display them, are measured differently. TVs are measured diagonally across the screen while TV furniture is typically measured in length and height. For this reason it is highly recommended that your TV be purchased in advance of the television cabinet so that you know it’s exact dimensions ahead of time.
Measuring the Diagonal
TV’s are measured diagonally across the screen. When | a TV is said to be 40 inches, this means that it spans this length from one corner of the monitor to the diagonally opposing corner. Be sure that you take measurements of both the length and height of your television prior to purchasing a cabinet for it.
Just like any other type | [

As we’ve recently mentioned on previous posts here on The Recommender, Brighton is definitely enjoying something of a buzz spotlight as a multitude of exceptional bands have appeared from this city throughout 2011. Today we bring you the next in line for our attention, a new duo called Curxes (pronounced Curses). The thing is, whilst we are more than happy to claim them as our own, it’s thrown up a debate about what constitutes the linking of a city with a band.
Is the issue of a band’s geography even relevant? Perhaps not in today’s online global community, with it’s shrinking boundaries and borders, however there’s no denying that Liverpool in the 60s, London in the late 70s, or Manchester in the late 80s, among others throughout the decades, has helped to inseparably tie artists to their homes over the years.

Mattamy Homes takes home the top prize
Explore This Story
Mattamy Homes, one of the largest home builders in the GTA, reclaimed its title as Home Builder of the Year last week during the annual BILD Awards ceremony in Woodbridge.
The awards, presented by the Building Industry and Land Development Association, now in its 90th year, recognizes the best in the new home construction industry. This year, BILD received over 1,000 submissions in 46 categories.
Mattamy earned the prestigious award for the fourth time since its inception in 1998. The winner is based on BILD’s survey of the builder’s recent occupants in various communities.
“To say that Mattamy’s victory is not surprising would be an understatement,” said Stephen Dupuis, BILD president and CEO. “This is a builder that’s well known for quality, not only in home building, but also in customer satisfaction and giving back to the community.”
In 2010, Mattamy donated over $2 million to local communities and charities on top of a $10 million | donation to the new Oakville Hospital by the company’s CEO Peter Gilgan.
The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Angelo, Elvio and Leo DelZotto of Tridel.
“This is an award that has been more than 80 years and 70,000 units in the making,” said BILD chairman Paul Golini Jr. in announcing the award. “This is truly a lifetime of achievement.”

With a win tonight, Tri-Valley would reach the regional finals, a place in the playoffs that the Scotties have never seen. By defeating the New Albany Eagles by a count of 24-7 tonight, the Scotties have set a date next week to play in the regional finals, a game which will be school history.
Even though they got out to a rough start defensively, tonight’s game was completely dominated by Tri-Valley. New Albany drove down the field to start the game and quarterback Zach Tomi would find their big play wide receiver Kevin Collins in the end zone to give the Eagles a 6-0 lead.
But the Scotties were able to respond right back. After a 59-yard pass from Nathan Strock to Matt Amicone, Austin Jones ran in a 3-yard touchdown. New Albany got a heavy dosage of Jones tonight as Tri-Valley handed him the rock 27 times as Jones ran for 133 yards and two touchdowns. From there it was all Tri-Valley.

Balkovec Named Wisconsin Hockey Coach of the Year
The head coach of the WNS Storm hockey team received top state honors the day before the team's first state tournament game.
After coaching the WNS Storm co-op hockey team to its first-ever state tournament, Maco Balkovec was named coach of the year by the Wisconsin Hockey Coaches Association.

The slight lean on the panel makes sure that the viewing angle of the TV is optimised and the optional stand is definitely a statement of intent.
Within the relatively slim chassis – the HX723 is slimmer but the HX923 packs more of a cinematic punch – there are a number of technological features to make the picture sparkle.
These include: Intelligent Peak LED, Motionflow XR 800 and 3D viewing with X-reality PRO.
Unlike some other TV manufacturers, Sony is offering two pairs of glasses in the box. Considering active shutter | glasses still come at a premium price, this is a decent move by Sony.
Sony's on-demand service Bravia Internet Video has also been ramped up and can be accessed through the connected Bravia set.
As you are dealing with internet video, Sony has included something called X-Reality PRO which is a dual-chip image processor that is said to produce true-to-life images and can boost low quality pictures from the web to near-HD resolution.
It is impressive, though you still get artefacts and stutter in the web content – especially on the bigger screens.

Defending Foxman, or Cool it, Armenians
By Israel Shamir – August 27, 2007
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Abe Foxman, the head of the Jewish-Masonic thought police misnamed ADL, easily one of the most repulsive men in American public life, is not as good as a clock, but he can be right once in a while; and this time is now.

The choices for America in Afghanistan are simpler than they appear in the fog of political debate: We can win or we can lose. Definitions can be debated, but in short, victory will mean that Afghanistan will not be a sustainable operational haven for al Qaeda, its political and terrorist affiliates, or a base for aggression against the U.S. and its allies.
Two years ago when he announced a troop surge into Afghanistan, President Obama promised "troops will begin to come home" in July 2011. The White House is now reportedly engaged in an internal tussle to decide just how many troops should be part of that summer drawdown. As usual, self-serving counsel is being ladled out generously by politicos of left and right concerned by cost, endgame, and most of all, their own political prospects come November 2012. Ditto the White House, which is divided between partisans of Barack Obama (the president) and Barack Obama (the candidate).
Certainly, there are complexities to understand, but Afghanistan is not more complex than any other war fought at any other time. And there are core truths that are being | obscured, sometimes deliberately, in order to design an endgame that satisfies political rather than strategic and military exigencies. Following are some of the key arguments against the fight, and analysis for how to think about them:

Here's a skill for your Life Toolbox that will help you more than soccer practice ever did.
The overall health of your body, mind, and emotions is tied directly to how well you breathe.
When breathing in, your lungs fill with blood waiting to be oxygenated. Once it is, the blood then circulates throughout your body cleansing, refreshing, and purifying your cells, all the while picking up poisons, toxins, and wasted that are released when you breathe out. As the diaphragm expands on the in-breath, it massages the abdominal organs, aiding digestion and elimination.
Diaphragmatic breathing is done by breathing in deeply enough that the belly area feels as if it is expanding. In fact, your belly will literally rise and fall as breaths are taken.
Doing so slows the heart rate and is associated with normal blood | pressure. It increases lymphatic flow and the transfer of oxygen from the blood to the tissues. Diaphragmatic breathing dilates the brain and coronary arteries, which increases blood and oxygen to the brain and heart. It lowers tension and stress in the muscles and can reduce the sensations of pain. Diaphragmatic breathing enhances vitality, energy, self- | [

JUPITER, Fla. -- Full-squad workouts don't get under way until Friday, but already baseballs were flying over the fence on the back fields at the Roger Dean Stadium complex. In shorts and a T-shirt, All-Star Giancarlo Stanton took batting practice on Wednesday morning.
"I watched him hit," first-year manager Mike Redmond said. "I know we lost a lot of balls out there on that field."
Stanton's presence is definitely felt, even during informal batting practice. Redmond is just now seeing the 23-year-old slugger's raw power firsthand. A former big league catcher, Redmond compared Stanton's force with that of Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire.
"I don't know if I've seen a ball jump off a bat like that since watching those guys play," Redmond said. "He gets that extension and leverage that very few guys are able to do. That's why everybody talks about him the way | that they do. He's one of those special guys."
Stanton finished second in the National League in home runs last year with 37, which also is the second most by a Marlins player in a season.
Stanton hit in a group that also had Juan Pierre, Placido Polanco and Chris Coghlan.
Besides Stanton, Miami's lineup doesn't possess tremendous power. Who bats behind the slugger has yet to be determined.
"He's a monster in that lineup," Redmond said. "He's definitely that guy in the middle of that lineup, if you are on the other team, you can't let | [

WASHINGTON: A top American Senator has written to members of the US House of Representatives for their support in passing a bill which seeks to cut all American aid to Pakistan.
Senator Rand Paul, in his 'Dear Colleague' letter written on Tuesday, urged members to pass the bill which seeks to cut all foreign aid to any country that "fails to secure" US embassies.
The bill also demands financial accountability from countries like Pakistan, Egypt and Libya, which recently saw violence directed against US embassies.
Paul's move came within hours of Pakistan foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar's arrival in Washington to hold talks with US officials and lawmakers.
Paul, the Senator from Kentucky, issued a similar letter to his colleagues in the Senate, underlining his intention to obstruct any pending legislation until the Senate addresses these matters.
"This week is likely our last chance to address the ongoing violence, to promote security at our diplomatic facilities, and to take appropriate steps to ensure cooperation from the governments of Pakistan, Egypt and Libya," Paul said in his letter.
"First, we must demand accountability from the government | of Pakistan, which receives over USD 3 billion from us every year, yet routinely plays both sides of some of the most important issues while openly thwarting our objectives in the region," he wrote.

SINGAPORE–Imagine you are the captain of a Chinese naval ship patrolling in the South China Sea. Neighboring nations are nervous about your presence and your intentions. There are pirates in the Straits of Malacca. You are, understandably, on edge.

Early forests tamed wild rivers
The evolution and spread of trees stabilised river banks and changed landscapes around the world forever, geologists say.
Before the switch, broad, shallow, braided river channels could spread and migrate endlessly from side to side.
Only when tree-like plants with deep roots took hold some 330 million years ago did river banks finally come under control, say researchers.
Their assessment is published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
When the change occurred, rivers became single, deeper channels that | meandered slowly across the floodplain, and only occasionally breaking their banks and carving out new channels.
The landscape has never looked back - large meandering river channels have dominated the lowlands ever since.
These stabilised, fixed-channel flood plains are well watered and can develop deep, organic soil, supporting rich, forested ecosystems.
This new paradigm for landscape and ecosystem evolution comes from field work and an analysis of 330 published studies of river channels preserved in rock strata and | [

The risk of major events following stenting of a blocked left main coronary artery is about the same as seen with bypass surgery initially, but more subsequent procedures may be needed, an all-comers registry showed.
In the registry, the combined risk of death, cerebrovascular accidents, and MI was not significantly different long term for patients treated with first-generation drug-eluting stents than among those who got coronary artery bypass grafting (adjusted hazard ratio 1.11, P=0.47).
But CABG held the advantage once target-vessel revascularization was added in (adjusted HR 1.64, P<0.0001), Antonio Colombo, MD, of the San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan, Italy, and colleagues reported in the July issue of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.

A Second, Chance Interview With Subject Of Controversial First Lady Remarks
Originally published on Thu September 27, 2012 5:17 pm
During the Republican National Convention last month, I traveled with Mitt Romney's campaign from Tampa, Fla., to the American Legion conference in Indianapolis.
Romney delivered a speech about foreign affairs and national security. Among the thousands of attendees from around the country, I interviewed one woman from Virginia whose quote sparked a conversation among NPR's audience and staff.
"I just — I don't like him," Bobbie Lussier said of President Obama. "Can't stand to look at him. I don't like his wife. She's far from the first lady. It's about time we get a first lady in there that acts like a first lady and looks like a first lady."
After the story aired on Morning Edition, NPR listeners | started a debate on Twitter, Facebook and in the comments section at NPR.org about what Lussier meant, whether her quote indicated racism, and whether I should have broadcast the comment at all.
NPR Ombudsman Edward Schumacher-Matos later wrote a column about the story reflecting some of the discomfort that listeners felt. He also suggested that it was "wrong to let [Lussier's] interview run without clarifying what she meant."
Then, this Thursday morning, Romney held a much smaller campaign event at | [

David Guetta - David Guetta Produces New Track For Jessie J11 October 2011
David Guetta has produced a new song for Jessie J, and her team trusted him so much, they said they didn't even need to hear it before accepting it before even hearing what it sounded like.
David Guetta Produces New Track For Jessie J
The French producer was astonished how much faith the 'Price Tag' hitmaker and her management team have in him, as they were ready to accept the song without even hearing it.
He told Australia's 2Day FM radio: "I'm not going to say who but I'm a producing a record for someone... It's a girl. OK, it's Jessie J.
"And you know, her team trust me that much they were like, 'We want to print the artwork, can we have the credits?' So I was like, 'But you haven't heard the record' and they said, 'Oh no, we trust you.' "That's too much trust! | I was really flattered but I was like, 'No, I wanna make sure Jessie likes it."

The outing kicked off December 17 in Texas but hit a few speed bumps along the way. Earlier this month, the rapper and his entourage were detained by U.S. Border Patrol agents in the Lone Star State. Officials found marijuana on Lil | Wayne's tour bus, but after being held for hours, he was later released and was never charged in the incident.

Don't Mess with the Original
I learned a valuable lesson this weekend - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I have made chili several times using a 2 alarm chili kit and it is delicious. I saw a recipe in a cooking magazine that I bought at the airport and decided that I wanted to give it a try. The article accompanying the recipe said that the recipe used pure chili powders that gave the chili a heartier flavor than if you used "old-fashioned chili | mix". That sentence sold me. If I could make a chili with more flavor than my 2 alarm chili mix chili it had to be delicious. I quickly realized that this recipe had several differences, the main one being that it didn't call for ground beef. The meat it required was boneless beef chuck cut into cubes, it sounded strange but I was willing to give it a try. It also called for beer and not | [

Cottesloe Beach’s Indian Ocean waves and sugar-like sand make you forget quite easily that you're in the middle of a major Australian city.

Motorola's Form 10-K annual report, filed (via MacNN), revealed that the company has just received a letter from the commission notifying it of Apple's complaint. The form disclosed ongoing legal proceedings, including its dispute with Apple.
Apple's complaint was submitted to the Competition Directorate-General and asked for the commission to intervene "with respect to standards-essential patents" (SEPs). The iPhone maker alleges that Motorola has breached its Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory commitments for its SEPs.
FRAND commitments are vital to the establishing of industry standards, especially within the wireless industry. Companies are often required to agree to license their patents on FRAND terms to competitors in order before submitting their intellectual property | to standard-setting organizations. Court filings show that Motorola has offered Apple a patent license, but Apple believes the 2.25 percent royalty rate that its rival is seeking is unfair, unreasonable and discriminatory.

Introduction - Materials and methods.

Effective cleaning and shaping is the foundation of successful root-canal treatment. However, because of the complexity of root-canal systems, complete cleaning and shaping with presently available irrigants and instruments is difficult. When sufficient bacteria remain within the system, they can proliferate and reinfect the root-canal space (Bystrom & Sundqvist 1981).
Intracanal medication has been advocated to further reduce the number of microorganisms between appointments. A wide range of chemicals have been used to disinfect the root-canal system including formocresol, cresatin, phenolic compounds, aldehydes, antibiotics, steroids, and calcium hydroxide.
Calcium hydroxide has been widely used as an intracanal medicament. Calcium hydroxide should be removed before root-canal filling, however, | its complete removal is problematic, and some calcium hydroxide may be retained in the apical area (Guignes et al. 1991, Margelos et al.1997, Lambrianidis et al.1999).
Recently, Margelos et al. (1997) reported a possible problem caused by the interaction between calciumhydroxide and zinc oxide-eugenol sealers. There is a concern that, at the time of root-canal filling, the retention of calciumhydroxide on the canal wall | [

Originally referring to the location of a venue and its productions on a street intersecting Broadway in Manhattan's Theater District, the hub of the theatre industry in the United States, the term later became defined by the League of Off-Broadway Theatres and Producers as a professional venue in New York City with a seating capacity between 100 and 499, or a specific production that appears in such a venue, and which adheres to related trade union and other contracts.
Previously, regardless of the size of the venue, a theatre was not considered Off-Broadway if it was within the "Broadway Box" (extending from 40th to 54th Street, and from west of Sixth Avenue to east of Eighth Avenue, and including Times Square and 42nd Street). The contractual definition changed this to encompass theatres meeting the standard, which is beneficial to these theatres because of the lower minimum required salary for Actors' Equity performers at Off-Broadway theatres as compared with the salary requirements of the union for Broadway theatres. Examples of Off-Broadway theatres within the Broadway Box are the Laura Pels Theatre and the Snapple Theater Center.
According to Bloom and V | lastnik, the Off-Broadway movement started in the 1950s, as a reaction to the "perceived commercialism of Broadway" and provided an "outlet for a new generation" of creative artists.
