Source: Winston-Salem Journal, N.儲存倉C.Sept. 05--Passengers flying out of Piedmont Triad International Airport will have access to an expedited screening program by the end of the year, the Transportation Security Administration said Wednesday.The agency will provide pre-check services at select screening lanes. The service already is operating in 40 airports nationwide.The program allows pre-approved travelers to leave on their shoes and light outerwear and belt, as well as keep their laptop in its case and their "3-1-1" compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on. If a passenger is eligible for expedited screening, an indicator will be embedded in the barcode of the boarding pass so they can be referred to a pre-check lane.The agency said more than 15 million passengers have used the service since it was launched in October 2011.PTI offers 48 nonstop flights to 14 airports."This is a program that will make it much easier for our frequent travelers to navigate the security checkpoints, and adds to the simple and convenient experience of flying from PTI," said Stephanie Freeman, the airport's marketing and customer relations manager.The service also is being launched by year's end at Charlotte Douglas and Raleigh-Durham international airports, as well as an additional 60 airports nationally. The agency said it will add more pre-check lanes at t迷你倉價錢e existing 40 airports."As TSA continues to move away from a one-size-fits-all approach to transportation security, we are looking for more opportunities to provide the most effective security in the most efficient way possible," John Pistole, the TSA's administrator, said in a statement.Passengers eligible for the program include U.S. citizens of frequent traveler programs recommended or invited by participating airlines. Also qualified are citizens who are members of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection trusted traveler program and Canadian citizens who are members of Customs' Nexus program.The agency plans to launch a new application program later this year.Participating airlines are Alaska, American, Delta, Hawaiian, United, US Airways and Virgin America. JetBlue and Southwest are expected to begin participating when operationally ready.The agency cautioned that it will continues to use random and unpredictable security measures throughout airports, and that no individual will be guaranteed expedited screening.Travelers can go to .TSA.gov/TSA-Precheck for information on locations and hours of active pre-check lanes.rcraver@wsjournal.com(336) 727-7376Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Winston-Salem Journal (Winston Salem, N.C.)

ESPNU seeking to air Oct. 18 Lobo Howl
Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.存倉M.Sept. 04--Craig Neal wanted more exposure for the Lobos men's basketball program in his first year as head coach. Now, it looks like the Lobos will be howling on national television in October.While no binding agreement has been finalized, the Journal has learned ESPNU is working out a deal to broadcast live from the Pit the University of New Mexico basketball team's Oct. 18 Lobo Howl as part of its college basketball preseason coverage.The Lobo Howl, the annual public practice event that often features a dunk contest, 3-point contest and light scrimmage held in the Pit for both the men's and women's basketball teams, is expected to have live coverage on ESPNU and ESPN3.For several seasons ESPNU has sent broadcast crews to the annual preseason workouts of several Top 25 programs for live coverage. Last year ESPNU had coverage from seven programs, including the Big Blue Madness event of then defending national champion Kentucky Wildcats, who are this season's preseason favorites. The Wildcats are expected to be among the teams covered this season by ESPNU.Whether the Lobo Howl event will be free to the public as it has been in the past, when it was often held around Halloween, is unclear.NEWCOMERS: The latest additions to the Lobos basketball team were working out in full force Tuesday during NCAA-allowed individual instruction periods.Teams are not allowed until later this month to start full team practices, but can do so in small groups broken up by positions.Junior college transfer guard Deshawn Delaney and 7-foot-1 freshman center Obij Aget, both of whom arrived in Albuquerque the week prior to classes starting at UNM, are both working out with the Lobos.Delaney spent his summer on a crash course to finish classes at Vincennes Junior College in Indiana. He passed all those classes and is cleared to play for UNM.Aget, originally from the Sudan, who sat last year out with an ACL tear before enrolling in college after prep school in Indiana, is also a full participant with the Lobos now that the NCAA Clearinghouse last week cleared him to play. He has a large brace on his right leg, but ran and jumped with no hesitation at Tuesday's workouts.BAIRSTOW BACK: After an offseason of impressi迷你倉e play in international events for his native Australia, senior Cameron Bairstow is back with his team but wasn't a full participant in drills with his fellow post players Tuesday.That is because the 6-foot-9 power forward is still recovering from a minor hand surgery from Aug. 19 that kept him in his home country a few days longer than anticipated.As it turns out, Bairstow played all last season and throughout the summer with some minor discomfort in his left hand.The surgery, which isn't expected to cut into any playing time this season, was to relieve some pressure caused by extra tissue in the hand pressing against some nerves, according to UNM Trainer Nate Burney.Neal said Bairstow could be participating fully in drills if it were during the season, but after his full load of work throughout the summer there is no rush to get him back now.FIERY COACH: Neal was a little bit hands off during individual instruction, letting assistant coaches lead the drills, but did hop up and get involved when he saw something that he didn't like.When one player wasn't exactly going full speed during a shooting drill, Neal reminded everyone who was in charge what he expects from his players."I'm not going to coach effort," Neal barked. "We've got 13 guys (on scholarship) -- 14 with Chris. If you don't give effort, the next guy will. I will not coach effort this year."CULLEN NEAL: Cullen Neal, Craig Neal's son and UNM's incoming freshman guard who had an emergency appendectomy on the team's August trip to Australia, was back on the court Tuesday in a practice uniform for the first time since that surgery.The 6-foot-4 Eldorado High graduate, who dropped to 158 pounds from about 180 after his 11 days in a Sydney, Australia, hospital, said Tuesday he is back to about 170 pounds.The younger Neal worked out on his own Tuesday while fellow guards were going through drills together on the court.It is unclear when Cullen Neal will be allowed to return to full contact drills with his teammates.

Shuttle buses will take patrons to arts in the dark
Source: The Arizona Daily Star, TucsonSept.存倉 05--Coordinators of the annual Glow arts festival are celebrating the colorful and creative event's 10th anniversary by fixing one of its biggest headaches: parking.Rather than have people park up and down West Oracle Ranch Road, the tight stretch that runs around the Triangle L Ranch where the event is held, patrons will now be asked to pull into a three-acre dirt lot off of West American Avenue, leading into the Oracle business district and less than a mile from the festivities.Two 28-seat buses will be on hand to shuttle people to and from the ranch entrance.The lot should easily accommodate the 1,000 or so visitors expected to attend each night, according to Triangle L owner Sharon Holnback."We want people to be safe," she said. "It has been our biggest hurdle. It became apparent last year, because of the amount of people attending, that we needed to make changes."Once on ranch grounds, Glow-goers will get to experience an array of artistic expression, each feature meant to entice and entertain under the迷你倉light of the full moon.Brightly colored installations, created by visual artists from all over Southern Arizona, will sit along an expanded sculpture path, one of the cornerstones of Glow, as well as a newly added shrine garden."We've been using car hoods, creating shrines with metal and glass," Holnback said. "The ranch artists have been taking found objects and combining them to make some interesting pieces."Live performances will include appearances from fire spinners, local music acts Hank Topless and Hey Bucko, and Circus Amperean, a Tucson-based group that specializes in working with Tesla coils and electricity.Holnback said it is the creative spirit of Southern Arizona's artistic community, not the parking, that inspires her to throw Glow year after year."When you talk to the artists and they are doing all these amazing things," she said. "That is when things get exciting."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Arizona Daily Star (Tucson, Ariz.)

If Leung is forced to quit, what then
People should be careful what they wish for.迷你倉 NeoDemocrats lawmaker Gary Fan Kwok-wai and hundreds of people signed an advert that ran in newspapers in Hong Kong and Taiwan calling on Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to resign. They also warned Taiwan against “mainlandisation” as the island plans to boost cross-strait tourism.What’s easier to demand? If you don’t like something, throw it away. That’s how children behave, because they care nothing about the consequences and only want to vent their anger and frustration. Many of us still remember similar calls for Tung Chee-hwa to quit. And when he did, people cheered. Well, we ended up with Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, who enjoyed a long honeymoon and high popularity ratings, at least initially. Look where he is now!Tsang was arguably worse than Tung, who at least correctly identified key problems confronting Hong Kong: an out-of-date education system, an unsustainable public health system, an out-of-control property market, an ageing population, eroding competitiveness. What he lacked was the ability to develop and execute plans that could addres自存倉 these problems. Tsang, the consummate civil servant, just swept them under the carpet. As a result, we wasted almost a decade.People are understandably angry because of the many problems confronting Hong Kong today and threatening its future. But many, if not most of these problems, were already there before Leung took office, and will remain whoever replaces him. The “brainwashing” national and moral education? It started with Tung and worked out under Tsang. Mainlandisation or expanding mainland tourism? It was Tung’s and Tsang’s baby.Under the current system, whoever replaces Leung would still be perceived as a Beijing lackey, and the pan-democrats could repeat their whole routine of demonising, obstructing and destroying the new guy. How does that help Hong Kong? Far more responsible would be to press Leung to come up with a viable constitutional reform blueprint acceptable to both sides. But I suspect some of our young radicals are not interested in anything so constructive. They would rather see a government destroyed or in disarray. And if that means taking Hong Kong down, so what!迷你倉新蒲崗

Penn scientist studies agonizing death by nerve gas
Source: The Philadelphia InquirerSept.迷你倉新蒲崗 04--Within seconds, your muscles become paralyzed, so you cannot breathe. Then come intense vomiting and likely seizures. The heart stops beating.As the world debates its response to the alleged nerve-gas attacks in Syria, one thing is clear:It is an awful way to go.One person who knows this better than most is Paul H. Axelsen, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.In 1993, while on sabbatical at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, Axelsen helped figure out how a key enzyme plays a role in communication between certain kinds of nerve cells -- the very process that sarin gas interferes with so catastrophically.Among the nerve cells affected by sarin are those that control our muscles. Inhaling the gas causes the nerve pathway to be switched on permanently, flooding the system with noise so that communication between nerve cells is impossible."It's almost a total-body malfunction," Axelsen said.He studied how the enzyme works, in collaboration with Weizmann scholars who had previously determined the enzyme's structure. These researchers included Israel Silman and Joel L. Sussman, a Philadelphia native who once worked at Fox Chase Cancer Center.The scholars did not specifically study sarin gas, developed by a German chemical company in the mid-1930s. Instead, theirs was a more fundamental study of how the enzyme, called acetylcholinesterase, worked in healthy people.Still, the connection to nerve gas was on their minds, Sussman recalled in an interview Tuesday. His and Silman's original work on the enzyme's structure was published in 1991, soon after the end of the first Gulf War. Some of the research funding came from the U.S. Department of Defense, which sought information on how it could better protect soldiers in a gas attack, Sussman said.The research also helped explain the potential for a class of drugs called cholinesterase inhibitors, which were then in development. These medicines, such as Aricept, can help ease the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, though their impact is modest.In a 1994 interview with the New York Times, Sussman recalled the moment that he and colleagues made their initial discovery, using a technique called protein crystallography. It was 3 a.m., and on a computer screen, they had successfully pieced together the 4,000 or so atoms迷你倉出租that make up one molecule of the enzyme."I can only compare it to first seeing a new continent," Sussman said at the time.Then Sussman, who had met Axelsen while visiting the Mayo Clinic, invited him to come to Israel to help determine how the enzyme did its job.They knew the key to healthy communication between the nerve cells was a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine.In order for a signal to be transmitted, acetylcholine is released by one nerve cell and is taken up by the next. The research team determined how the signaling chemical was broken down by the enzyme so that another signal could be sent."You need to stop the signal so that another signal can come," Axelsen said. "You do not under any circumstances want a signal to be permanent. These nerve gases permanently knock out the enzyme so that our nerve signals do not stop."The Alzheimer's drugs work in a much more limited fashion. They also interfere with the enzyme's activity, but the effect is much weaker and also temporary -- merely allowing a bit more time for a signal to be completed before the next one is sent.Sarin, on the other hand, locks onto the enzyme and does not let go. It is in a class of compounds called organophosphates, which includes some pesticides.For a person exposed to sarin, the situation is bleak. One antidote is a compound called atropine, which helps to dislodge acetylcholine from nerve-cell receptors so they can once again receive a signal, Axelsen said.Silman, of the Weizmann Institute, said Israeli citizens are given kits with autoinjectors that contain atropine and two other ingredients: anticonvulsant medicine and a reagent that can reactivate the key enzyme. These can be administered in advance, if there is warning of an attack.Better antidotes and pretreatments are under development at the institute, Silman and Sussman said.Atropine and the other current treatments are at best a partial solution, and only if administered immediately, Axelsen said."The reason it's used as a warfare agent is such small amounts go a long way," Axelsen said. "By the time you realize what's happening to you, you don't even have the presence of mind to get an antidote."Contact Tom Avril at 215-854-2430 or tavril@phillynews.com.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Philadelphia Inquirer Visit The Philadelphia Inquirer at .philly.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

PayPal eyes more cross-border sales
PayPal, the world’s leading online-payments service provider, expects to help Hong Kong and mainland merchants generate new business opportunities from cross-border trade by providing them with its new “Seller Protection” policy from next month.迷你倉“From October 11, we’re going to protect merchants from unauthorised transactions and from items not being received by buyers,” James Mirfin, PayPal’s manager for Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan, said yesterday.Mirfin said many businesses selling on the web were forced to dedicate a huge amount of time and money to tackling fraudulent transactions.Californian-based PayPal, which has about 1 million online merchant users across the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, said it was adding the additional layer of security at no extra cost to sellers. They would not need to subscribe and there would be no cap on the amount of goods covered against fraud by PayPal buyers in any country.“We want Hong Kong and mainland merchants to grow by helping them lower the risk associated with entering new markets,” Mirfin said.Seller Protection will be available next month to PayPal merchants in Australia, New Zealand,自存倉mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. The policy was initially launched in North America more than a decade ago and then in Europe.Alipay, the most widely used online-payment platform on the mainland, has implemented its own version of seller protection since 2004.Digital World International, a Hong Kong-based seller of cameras on eBay and its own websites for more than four years, expects the new PayPal policy will help drive its growth. Chief executive Cornel Ung said: “For a long time we’ve been eyeing opportunities for expansion in different countries, but it always seemed so risky due to the high fraud rates in certain markets.”Data from PayPal, which has 132 million active accounts in 193 markets and 25 currencies, shows that the five fastest-growing export markets for Hong Kong online merchants in the past 12 months were the Philippines, Argentina, South Korea, Sweden and Russia. The top categories in cross-border trade last year for those merchants included electronics and telecommunications; toys and hobbies, and clothing, accessories and shoes.迷你倉新蒲崗

The innovation was unveiled at the US$10 million (SGD$12.8 million) upgrade of TI's Product Distribution Center (PDC), located in DHL Supply Chain's hub within the Free Trade Zone in Changi, Singapore. The upgrade is an enhancement of the US$19.5 million (SGD$25 million) facility wholly owned by DHL Supply Chain.(Logo: .prnasia.com/sa/2010/09/02/20100902467742-l.jpg )(Logo: .prnasia.com/sa/2013/09/05/20130905114222703686-l.jpg )(Logo: .prnasia.com/sa/2013/09/05/201309051145511170-l.jpg )(Photo: .prnasia.com/sa/2013/09/04/20130904202203894812.html )(Photo: .prnasia.com/sa/2013/09/04/20130904202330491139.html )(Photo: .prnasia.com/sa/2013/09/04/2013090420242999648.html )(Photo: .prnasia.com/sa/2013/09/04/20130904202542384216.html )"The automation allows four times the volume of products to be stored within the same floor space, increases productivity by some 40 per cent and vastly improves accuracy and visibility of the inventory. Such turn-key logistics solutions are a boon for land-scarce countries like Singapore where land and labor costs run high," said Oscar de Bok, CEO, South and South East Asia, DHL Supply Chain. "DHL has pioneered the implementation of AutoStore(R) in Asia for the semiconductor industry, and it can be similarly applied to a broad range of industries, such as the life sciences and engineering sectors, fashion and luxury goods.""The upgrade to TI's Product Distribution Center has significantly increased the capacity of the facility. Within a space that previously stored 500 million semiconductor units, we will ramp up to two billion units this year," said Larry Tan, President, Texas Instruments Asia. "As a leader in analog and embedded processing semiconductor technologies, TI develops leading-edge products that provide greater power efficiency, enable more features, enhance performance and deliver more value to our customers. The new automation solution delivers the same level of innovation we promise to deliver to our customers every day."For over 10 years, TI, one of the world's largest semi-conductor companies, has made Singapore its major distribution base for Asia Pacific. With significant volume growth over the past few years, TI was swiftly outgrowing its PDC in Changi. DHL Supply Chain, TI's logistics partner, evaluated the logistics requirements and recommended Swisslog to implement AutoStore(R) inventory management system -- a solution that allows optimal use of existing space and increased productivity through automation."This investment in state-of-the-art warehousing solutions exemplifies how the logistics industry in Singapore can achieve growth and competitiveness through operational excellence and productivity gains. I would like to commend TI, DHL & Swisslog for their strong collaboration in coming up with innovative solutions to enhance competitiveness and global distribution capabilities in Singapore," said Quek Swee Kuan, Deputy Managing Director, Singapore Economic Development Board.Advanced Automated Warehousing System -- A boon for land-scarce SingaporeSpanning 7,500 square meters of DHL Supply Chain's 20,000 square meters facility, the US$10 million (SGD$12.8 million) upgrade features the advanced AutoStore(R) system implemented by Swisslog that comprise of a massive grid measuring 65m x 18m x 5.4m. A key space-saving aspect of AutoStore(R) is that the system eliminates th迷你倉 need for the aisles that are required between shelves in a typical warehouse for movement of people and products (refer to Annex A). Two billion semiconductor chips may be stored in the 63,000 bins stacked within the grid, which is 108 rows wide, 38 rows deep and spans the height of 16 bins.Thirty-six robots ply the top of the grid to both store and extract products within the grid, based on the orders placed through the warehouse management software known as the AutoStore(R) Control System (ACS). The ACS acts as the nerve center by controlling the entire inventory flow in and out of the AutoStore(R) grid. Every item within the grid is electronically tagged, providing full visibility of the inventory at any one time. Backend information built into the system allows the robots to pick inventory based on the specific requirements of TI's customers -- for example, retrieving items manufactured within a specific date range.More than 800 meters of Swisslog light goods conveyor system connect the AutoStore(R) grid to receiving and shipping areas, allowing for a swift flow of inbound and outbound goods within the PDC, which is fully operated by DHL Supply Chain. Products arrive from 20 inbound countries and orders are consolidated and shipped to 54 outbound countries, complete with country-specific labeling created at the facility in Singapore."There is no bigger innovation in the material handling industry than a solution that increases both storage capacity and productivity. This is particularly true in Singapore where space and operating costs come at a premium. Automation systems like AutoStore(R) and light good conveyor solution are a natural progression for companies that are looking to boost their operation's productivity. With AutoStore(R) and our comprehensive solution portfolio, we will be even closer to our Asian customers to realize the right automation level for them," said Koh Seng Teck, Head of Southeast Asia, Swisslog.- End -About the Partnership between Texas Instruments, DHL and SwisslogUnder the partnership, Texas Instruments' inventory is stored and managed by DHL Supply Chain, which provides full-service logistics support including receiving, storing, shipping, picking, and shipment preparation.
