For the past 20 years, however, NGFS has been the realm of the 5-inch Mk 45 gun found in pairs on Spruance -class destroyers and Ticonderoga -class cruisers (the former are now all decommissioned) and singly on Arleigh Burke -class destroyers. Generally speaking, this gun is too small and too short ranged, with too few of them to adequately support Marines ashore. Notably, 5-inch Mk 45 guns were found only on the Navy's very high-end multipurpose warships, likely making them too valuable to regularly put into risky situations close to the shore. More capability was obviously needed for adequate support.
That need is beginning to be addressed with the deployment of the 6-inch/155-mm Advanced Gun System (AGS) on the Zumwalt -class destroyers. The AGS will return to the Fleet a 6-inch, 220-pound round not seen in decades. In its basic ballistic form, the round will have a range of about 24 nautical miles (nm), similar to that of the vaunted Iowa -class battleships. It will also be able to launch a rocket-assisted shell, the long-range land attack projective, a record 63 nm or more. This adds a significant capability for supporting Marines and influencing events ashore. (However, significantly fewer of these rounds will be available—perhaps only 10 percent of the magazine load. 1 ) Table 1, below, attempts to quantify the Navy's naval fires capability since World War II leading up to the AGS, including a comparison to a Marine artillery battery of six M777 6-inch howitzers. 2
If the AGS works well on the Zumwalt class, the Navy should consider adding it to future Flight III Burke -class destroyers. (However, the size and mount weight will certainly be issues for naval architects to consider, and it may prove unsuitable.) The Navy would also be wise to consider adding an AGS mount or two to the forthcoming LR(X), the follow-on to the Whidbey Island/Harpers Ferry -class landing dock ships (LSDs), which would then provide amphibious readiness groups (ARGs) with some very useful organic firepower. This would support an embarked Marine Expeditionary Unit with nearly the equivalent of another Marine M777 battery of artillery that would be available early in the operation and have great mobility.
The Electromagnetic Railgun
The AGS will add a much needed, but interim capability to the Fleet. The real promise going forward, as the Zumwalt class is both experimental and limited to only three ships, is the electromagnetic railgun (EMRG). Instead of using traditional chemical propulsion, the EMRG relies on massive amounts of electrical force. When doubled from current testing, some 64 mega-joules (MJ) of energy will be available to propel a 40-pound kinetic energy (KE) round at Mach 7 out to 200 or more nautical miles.
Due to its speed, the EMRG will rely on solid shot—a round without any explosives. This increases not only safety for the ship, as there won't be any magazine explosions, but the amount of storage space. The round is much smaller, and with no companion propellant charge, perhaps four times the number of rounds currently found in a Burke -class DDG 5-inch/Mk 45 magazine could be stored, in the neighborhood of 2,400 rounds per mount. The rate of fire is targeted at 6 to 12 rounds per minute, or 360 to 720 rounds per hour.
According to MJ energy calculations to date, the EMRG KE round will be at least two to eight times as powerful as today's specialized (to include the long-range land attack projectile) and conventional artillery rounds. Translating the effect into 1,000-pound warhead equivalents (such as the Mk 83 bomb and Tomahawk missile warhead) is also illustrative. Based again on an MJ energy comparison (the "MJ" case, for example, is estimated at 16.9 MJs per railgun KE round versus around 1,012 MJs per Mk 83), one gets a low-end of 60 rounds per 1,000-pound warhead equivalent.
Another calculation quotes a KE round as being "three to five times more effective than today's naval round" and takes the lower figure ("3X" case) versus the explosive charge of a conventional 5-inch round. This leads to a figure of 19 railgun KE rounds equaling a 1,000-pound warhead, which results in each railgun shooting somewhere between 10 to 31 1,000-pound equivalents per hour (based on 10 rounds per minute/600 per hour.) 3 Assuming that four guns fire for four hours, this equates to between 160 and some 496 total Tomahawk warhead equivalents—all reaching their targets at maximum range in a mere six minutes of flight time. Other preliminary railgun calculations hint at even more lethal performance. (And future generations of this technology have the potential for even greater muzzle velocity—say 300 vice 64 MJ; a range of 250 nm, 300 nm, and more; and impact force.) Table 2 describes key railgun performance in comparison to the AGS. Again, a reference battery of Marine M777 6-inch artillery is used.
Assuming an initial operational capability date of 2025, the new EMRG mount could be placed in the DDG-51 Flight IV—the first unit, scheduled for construction starting in 2030—with testing on one or more DDG-51 Flight IIIs and Zumwalts prior. This may prove challenging, given the relatively limited space in the DDG-51 design for added growth and the need for additional electrical power generation and associated electrical storage/capacitor/mount support equipment (which for the first generation or two may be significant). But with the Zumwalts , some number of DDG-51 Flight IIIs and the early (of eventually 33 planned) Flight IVs, perhaps about 20 AGS or EMRG guns will eventually be in service in the late 2030s—enough to provide one or two per deployed expeditionary strike group (ESG).
Arming the Amphibious Ready Group
To add even more firepower, the Navy should also consider adding EMRGs to future amphibious ships. This way, an ARG can carry its own organic NGFS capability. During World War II, every amphibious ship—and every merchant marine ship, for that matter—carried guns for self defense. Large attack transports carried one or more 3- to 5-inch gun, with the single 5-inch/Mk 38 being standard by 1943. Eight-thousand ton LSDs similarly le d with the 5-inch/Mk 38. With an enclosed mount weight of about 21 tons and a destroyer magazine capacity of some 575 rounds, 5-inch/Mk 38 guns were commonplace on small 2,500-ton destroyers (ships of the Fletcher class had five each) and even smaller 1,700-ton destroyer escorts (ships of the Rudderow and Butler classes had two). Further merchant marine "Liberty" ships typically carried a 4-inch gun aft and a 3-inch gun forward, plus many smaller ones. To operate the guns, a naval armed guard detachment of about 36 men was part of a ship's company. Leveraging this historical precedent of arming amphibious ships— even those in the near future, which may be built more to commercial rather than military standards—could pay big dividends for the Navy.
To add to the total number of guns and provide organic ARG capability, one or two EMRG mounts could be installed in the forthcoming LR(X)-class ships, as well as all other future amphibious ships. 4 This LSD replacement is due to start construction in 2019 and continue through 2033. Earlier models could be built with an AGS mount, or space/weight could be programmed in for an upgrade when the EMRG mounts are available (perhaps in 2025 with the fifth or sixth unit). Beyond the purpose of self-defense, as in the past, these guns will add a powerful offensive capability to the ARG.
If the Navy fully mans the LR(X), a ship's company would provide the personnel necessary to operate the mounts. If the LR(X) is perhaps a military-civilian hybrid, a return of something like the naval armed guard would be in order for the ship's gunnery division in addition to other necessary detachments for communications and other concerns (as is already common). The ARG then of the late 2030s could include between two and four organic EMRG mounts, plus one or two more attached as part of a larger ESG. Four EMRG guns would provide a 200 nm range at a combined 24 to 48 rounds-per-minute with a total magazine capacity of nearly 10,000 rounds. Under full-up conditions, meaning no equipment casualties, and chock-full magazines, four railguns could deliver ordnance to a thousand targets in four hours with the warhead equivalence of between 160 and nearly 500 Tomahawks. A ship could be 100 miles out to sea and hit targets 50 miles inland across a range of some 130 miles in either direction and along the coastline 170 miles in either direction. This is greater than the entire 296-mile long coastline of Oregon. Three ships could cover the 840-mile long California coast or half of the East Coast.
NGFS at eight times the range of any past system with two to eight times the weapons effect of any current gun is the EMRG promise. For the first time since at least Vietnam and probably the Korean War, the Navy would have the ability to solidly support Marines ashore with naval fires. This never-before-seen capability would compliment the "…From the Sea" vision and the emerging Marine 21st-century amphibious assault/maneuver warfare "2.0" capability.
Implications for Power Projection
Beyond naval gunfire support, the EMRG has similarly great potential in regards to the broader issue of general power projection. According to Commander Phillip Pournelle's May 2013 Proceedings article "The Rise of the Missile Carriers," one strike-mile equals a thousand pound warhead delivered one nautical mile. Thus, one can see the potential impact a mere four railguns will have in comparison to a carrier launching multiple raids of four dozen aircraft, a strike group's worth of, say, five Tomahawk-armed Burke -class DDGs, and a Captain Wayne Hughes-inspired cheaper, dedicated "land attack"/"heavy" frigate squadron heavily laden with offensive missiles. 5
As Figure 1 shows, the railgun will add a tremendous capability to the carrier strike group (CSG), the ARG/ESG, and potentially all U.S. Navy task forces. In the best case, it will compare favorably inside its range with the CSG itself or multiple ships launching hundreds of missiles. (Even the more conservative "MJ" case is the equivalent to a 12-plane squadron of carrier aircraft, while the higher end is close to 80 percent of the carrier air wing. Another option is adding the "5 DDG" and "EMRG 3X Case" together, so a CSG's five DDG escorts carry missiles and a railgun.)
Operators and tacticians may consider the return of the gun line as a true power projection tool. Adding EMRGs organically to an ARG with more attached as part of an ESG would provide a world-class NGFS and impressive power projection capability, increasing their ability to act independently—which has been the goal since the ESG concept was introduced in the 1990s. The Navy may even wish to consider the return of task forces led by light carriers, such as the well deck-less LHA-6 and -7, loaded with unmanned aerial vehicles. They could focus more on scouting, while EMRG gun- and missile-equipped ships took the lead on strike missions. 6 None of these alternate combinations can replace the inherent and awesome capability of a full-up CSG, but they will certainly add to projectable American naval power and provide additional littoral options and overall greater flexibility—especially when something less than a nuclear-powered carrier would do or when the big flattop is otherwise occupied.
Guns were the arbiter of naval power for arguably 500 years. Starting about 100 years ago, aircraft, submarines, torpedoes, and then missiles surpassed them. But new developments hold the near-term promise of returning the naval gun to a place of prominence. Strategists, operators, and tacticians should begin to factor this into their planning for the not-so-distant future Navy.

text: A Weak Link February 11, 2012 10:42 AM Tweet The weight of a trailer and its load should never exceed the rating of any hitch assembly component. If it does, it is not safe to use the trailer with that truck. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Rhonda Brooks Editor, Farm Journal MagazineEditorial Director, Farm Journal Media Email One out of five truck trailers is not properly hitched Accidents involving detached trailers happen every day across the country. Many end tragically. One accident that Fred Whitford saw the results of online prompted him to begin evaluating the frequency of such occurrences. He quickly realized that the problem is widespread on and off farms. "Twenty percent of the people in any room I've ever talked in, both farmers and non-farmers, routinely raise their hands and tell me they've had a trailer come off their truck," says Whitford, program coordinator for Purdue University Extension. Whitford and his colleagues researched the problem and placed their recommendations in a new Extension publication called Keep the Trailer Connected to the Truck: Understanding the "Hitch" System. Whitford shared information from the publication with farmers at the 2011 Corn College in Heyworth, Ill. Here are the highlights compiled from the publication and Whitford's presentation. Hitch component ratings matter. Whitford says the weight of a trailer and its load should never exceed the rating of any hitch assembly component. If it does, that trailer cannot safely be used with that truck. "I've found it's not uncommon for a truck to be able to tow 12,000 lb. while the built-in receiver is only rated to tow 5,000 lb. or a 3,500-lb. ball," he explains. "The good news is it only takes five minutes to figure out if that's your problem, and you can fix it with a new insert." Understand your truck's limits. Every truck has a specific tow rating. Trucks with larger tow ratings usually have high-performance features such as heavy-duty engines, springs, transmissions, frames, U-joints, rear axles and brakes. These features have to do with whether the truck is a three-quarter-ton or half-ton vehicle. "Look in the owner's manual to see how much your truck can tow," Whitford says. When a truck tows more weight than it is designed to pull, the driver can lose control of the truck and trailer. For example, if a car suddenly stops in front of a truck pulling too much weight, the truck driver might slam on his brakes, but the trailer's momentum can push the truck forward and into the stopped car because the loaded trailer exceeds the truck's brake ratings. Select the right hitch mount. Keep in mind that a bumper-mounted hitch will always tow significantly less weight than a properly designed frame-mounted hitch. Farmers and commercial industry operators should not use bumper hitches to tow equipment unless their trucks have customized, reinforced bumpers. Choose the proper frame-mounted hitch. Generally, this type of hitch fits into one of three categories: weight-carrying hitches, gooseneck hitches or weight-distributing hitches. Don't improvise safety equipment. This coupler is secured with a bent metal flag, which can be very dangerous. Know the hitch assembly's components. Each component of a hitch assembly is individually rated for the maximum load it can tow. Whitford says this is an important safeguard that can reduce the risk of trailers detaching on the road. Pay attention to trailer ratings. The metal or plastic plates on the front of trailer tongues indicate the gross vehicle weight rating of the trailer. "This is the total weight that the trailer can carry, including the load and trailer weight," Whitford notes. Safety chains are an important backup. These chains provide secondary protection. Trailer safety chains of a suitable size and grade can keep a trailer and towing truck attached long enough for the driver to pull over and fix any problems. Emergency trailer brakes are the last backup system. Most states require trailers of certain gross weights to have both trailer brakes and a breakaway switch mounted on the tongue of the trailer. A breakaway emergency brake helps a trailer stop itself if it gets separated from a towing truck. A short cable goes from the trailer to the truck. Working with safety chains, the emergency brake helps slow the detached trailer. Use reflective tape. Place reflective tape on the sides and rear of your trailer to mark the width and rear of the trailer. Drive safely. Trailers simply follow the vehicle. Improper tire pressure, poor alignment or bad suspension will affect the drivability of the truck and trailer combination. The driver is responsible for making sure the unit is properly working. Read and follow the ratings of the truck, hitch and trailer to prevent accidents.

When I installed the Beta, first I removed the original BA I already had. However, I moved the BA file from Documents to the Desktop. So... putting files in the BA folder in Documents does not do anything for Ubuntu 12.04 and Unity.
However, I did move a bible into the program using --
sudo mv ~/Desktop/*.bib /usr/share/bibleanalyzer/modules/bible
It worked with the small "b" but there is nothing in the terminal that indicates the operation was successful.
When I open a bible and scroll using the touch pad (and I really do not use a mouse anymore even on a PC) at first the scrolling just goes on and on and will not stop. However, after I force a stop by scrolling up, then it behaves normally.
So, Ubuntu 12.04 is going to be around for five years, but they say there are bugs to work out. However, I really like it a lot. It really doesn't seem any different than 11.10 and yet it is somehow. Xubuntu 12.04 is really nice also, which I have on an old laptop, but I did not try the Beta there yet.
I'll play around with the Beta some more and post if anything else comes up, but I'm a little busy for now. I really want to try the biblical fonts in K&D.

Yale Wins Fourth Conference Title in Five Years
PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Bulldogs are Ivy League champs. Again.
The Yale women's volleyball team won its fourth Ivy League title in the last five years after a 3-0 victory at Princeton on Saturday afternoon. The scores of the match were 25-20, 25-16 and 28-26.
With the win, the Bulldogs extended its win streak to 13, improved to 12-0 in conference play, finished their Ivy League road schedule undefeated. The Bulldogs now stand at 16-5 overall, while Princeton fell to 12-10 overall and 9-3 in the conference.
Mollie Rogers smashed a match-high 15 kills for the Bulldogs, who will now make its fourth appearance in the NCAA tournament.
"I couldn't be more proud of this team," Yale head coach Erin Appleman said. "They've worked hard all season and earned this championship. They are a great group of athletes to work with and they deserve this title."
The Bulldogs controlled the match throughout and used a team hallmark -- a come back victory -- to take the third set.
Yale trailed 10-3 to start the third, then mounted a rally. It started with a kill from team captain Haley Wessels, who delivered one of her 11 kills.
"This team has level of confidence in ourselves and each other I have never seen before," said Wessels. "Our chemistry keeps us together in the tough times, and tonight we played together to win for each other."
Erica Reetz (6 kills and 5 digs) followed with a kill, and after an attack error, delivered another to keep the momentum going and make it 10-7 and force Princeton timeout.
With Yale's deficit still at three, Jesse Ebner contributed in almost every way possible. It started with a kill from Ebner, who then served up an ace on the next point.
On the next point, Ebner dove and kept a rally alive with a one-handed dig that eventually led to a kill by Rogers to tie the set at 16. From there, the set featured nine more ties.
Reetz used a nifty tip off a Kelly Johnson set to help Yale breakthrough for the final time. A Princeton attack error on the next point ended the match.
Johnson, the reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Week, finished with 18 assists, 14 digs and seven kills.
Yale went on a 9-3 run midway through the second to take a 16-11 lead. With the score 9-8 Yale, Maddie Rudnick's dig went to Kendall Polan, who set up Rogers to give Yale a two-point lead. Johnson used a two-handed stuff at the net to give Yale the next point and seized control of the set.
The Bulldogs asserted themselves in the first set. Rogers tied the set at 16 with a kill from the back row and Reetz added a two-handed kill to give the Bulldogs the lead.
Polan and Wessels provided block assists on the next point to push Yale's advantage to two. On the next point, Wessels added a solo block.
Wessels contributed five total blocks tonight and led the Bulldogs to its third straight title.
"Winning the Ivy League gets better and more fun each year and I am so proud to be a part of Yale Volleyball," Wessels said.
The Bulldogs close out the regular season next weekend with home matches against Harvard and Dartmouth. Yale hosts Harvard on Friday at 7 p.m., where the team will be honored following the match with the Ivy League championship trophy.

The State Department issued its annual report on religious freedom on July 30. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton offered a "sobering" global depiction of fundamental human rights at risk. "More than a billion people live under governments that systematically suppress religious freedom," she said. "New technologies have given repressive governments additional tools for cracking down on religious expression. Members of faith communities that have long been under pressure report that the pressure is rising. Even some countries that are making progress on expanding political freedom are frozen in place when it comes to religious freedom."
Secretary Clinton added, "When it comes to this human right, this key feature of stable, secure, peaceful societies, the world is sliding backwards." But the report also found some reason for hope in the near future regarding the expansion of religious freedom, including in some perhaps unexpected places like Myanmar and Egypt. "Several countries with diverse faith communities are now in the process of navigating transitions toward democracy," she said. "They are wrestling with questions of whether and how to protect religious freedom for their citizens. This goes from Tunisia to Burma and many places in between."
Secretary Clinton said that during a recent visit to Egypt she had a "very emotional, very personal conversation" with Christians who are deeply anxious about what the future holds. "What Egypt and other countries decide," she said, "will have a major impact on the lives of their people and will go a long way toward determining whether these countries are able to achieve true democracy."
She said, "I personally feel very strongly about this, because I have seen firsthand how religious freedom is both an essential element of human dignity and of secure, thriving societies. It's been statistically linked with economic development and democratic stability. And it creates a climate in which people from different religions can move beyond distrust and work together to solve their shared problems."
According to the report, the interim government of Egypt began to take measures toward greater religious inclusiveness, passing an anti-discrimination law, arresting and prosecuting alleged instigators of sectarian rioting and allowing dozens of churches previously closed to reopen. "Nevertheless," it added, "sectarian tensions and violence increased."
The report documented the Egyptian government's failure to curb rising violence against Coptic Christians and its involvement in violent attacks, including an attack by Egyptian security forces on October 9, 2011, against demonstrators in Cairo that left 25 dead and 350 injured, "most of whom were Coptic Christians." The report notes that no government officials have been held accountable for such abuses so far.
In Myanmar, according to the report, the government took steps toward overcoming a "longstanding legacy of intense religious oppression," eased some restrictions on church construction and "generally permitted adherents of religious groups registered with the government to worship as they chose."
China was again included on the list of nations of "particular concern." According to the report, China experienced a "marked deterioration" of religious freedom in 2011, including further religious repression in the "Tibetan Autonomous Region," continuing repression of Muslims in China as well as continuing friction with Catholics loyal to the Vatican.
Other states designated as "countries of particular concern" for alleged violations of religious freedom included three other Asian nations—Myanmar (Burma), North Korea and Uzbekistan—and Eritrea, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Sudan. Other countries with notable religious conflicts included Pakistan and Nigeria, but European nations also came under scrutiny in the report.
According to the report, rapid demographic changes in Europe have been accompanied by "growing xenophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim sentiment and intolerance toward people considered 'the other.'"

New London chosen for extended-day school effort
Beginning next school year, more than 20,000 students from five states — including some at New London's middle school — will participate in a new program that aims to expand their learning beyond the last bell of the school day.
Students from 40 districts in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Colorado will join their peers from 36 states in 1,002 schools that are already using an extended school day.
The new initiative, supported by the Ford Foundation and the National Center for Time & Learning, was announced Monday by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and other education leaders from across the country. In the fall of 2013, those schools will launch the program that will include after-school opportunities in science, math, language, arts, music, drama and sports.
"There is no more important equalizer in education than having children spend more time in good schools with good teachers. There is no substitute. This is the moment for the issue," Ford Foundation President Luis Ubiñas said.
"It is vital that states and the taxpayers in those states think about what they're buying with added education dollars. … They must be used for something tangible, something taxpayers can see, something like a longer school day. An investment in the longer day is an investment in the 21st century workforce and an investment in the economic future of this country," he said.
Three school districts in Connecticut, representing more than 3,000 students from New London, Meriden and East Hartford, have been selected to pilot the program next year. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is scheduled to visit schools in the three communities today.
School districts must submit detailed plans for how they will provide the expanded learning opportunities to students and officials from each school must attend statewide meetings on the effort.
"Students will have a regular school day, then the enrichment activities after school," New London Superintendent of Schools Nicholas A. Fischer said. "It's not just more classes, it could be a science lab, an outdoor activity, a field trip, a walking tour, a visiting speaker, there's all kinds of things."
Malloy, who attended Monday morning's conference at the Pew Charitable Trusts in Washington, D.C., said the state's commitment to closing the largest achievement gap in the country is "absolute."
"Connecticut has in fact a long and proud history as a leader in public education, but somewhere along the way we lost our edge," Malloy said. "Education as we know ... is the greatest equalizer … we will do everything to make sure that we don't simply offer opportunities but that we execute them."
In New London, the extended-day pilot program will begin at Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School in January.
Editor's note: This version corrects an earlier version.
Two months ago, New London received $809,000 in Alliance District funds. A portion of that money — $120,000 — is earmarked for the district's effort for added learning time.
New London is one of 30 Alliance Districts named by the state commissioner of education, meaning it is one of the lowest-performing districts in the state.
Fischer said the extended-learning program "will be hard to keep up" if the Alliance District, or other state funding, decreases.
"Once this funding disappears, continuity will be an issue. The larger issue of school funding is one that absolutely needs to be addressed," he said.
Duncan said that if the country could close the opportunity gap, the achievement gap would follow.
Drawing upon his tenure as chief executive officer for Chicago Public Schools, Duncan said the most dangerous time of day for a child is from 3 to 6 p.m.
He said students there experienced high rates of crime and violence. They knew the potential of dying early was real.
They talked about "if" they grow up and not "when" they grow up, he said.
"Those hours after school are times of huge anxiety and huge stress," he said. "With high quality programming, social and emotional support, they start talking about when I grow up and not if I grow up. This is a huge step in the right direction."

|Open, Prospective, Historic-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Infusion of Liver Cell Suspension (HHLivC) in Children With Urea Cycle Disorders.
|Brief Summary
|Treatment with liver cell infusion for children with urea cycle disorders (UCD).
|Detailed Description
Urea cycle disorders are rare inherited diseases that generally have a poor outcome, especially with onset of the disease in the neonatal period. UCDs are caused by a deficiency of one of six enzymes responsible for removing ammonia from the bloodstream. Instead of being converted into urea which is removed from the body with the urine, ammonia accumulates in UCD patients leading to brain damage or death. In the light of a mortality rate of > 50% at the age of 10 years the current pharmacological and dietary therapy is of modest success. Furthermore, mental retardation, cerebral palsy and other neurological sequelae are common among surviving patients.
In the last years, orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has become the best therapeutic option for UCD with long-term survival rates of about 90%. However, in the first weeks of life OLT still is technically demanding and prone to complications. With larger size of the recipient, the technical problems with OLT decrease considerably. The increased body weight usually achieved at the age of more than 8 weeks is related to a major reduction in transplantation related morbidity. Stabilization of metabolism until the patient can undergo OLT is essential.
In this study, young children with UCD will be treated by repetitive application of human liver cells. In the last consequence, the aim of this new therapy option is to supply a sufficient amount of healthy liver cells to compensate for the metabolic defect and to reduce the risk of neurological deterioration while awaiting OLT.

Buying A Used WinchPosted in How To: Electrical on May 1, 2014
Most winches are pretty reliable and in all the years we've been breaking stuff we've only ever had a few things go wrong with the winches we've abused. That is why we have no hesitation jumping on a screaming deal of a used winch, especially if it is from a big name manufacturer. Sure, there are a few things we like to check, and a few things that would make us walk away from a used winch deal (unless the price was almost free). But for the most part, when it comes time for a new-to-us winch for a new-to-us project, we are out scouring the Want Ads before we start thinking about plunking down the cash for a brand new, shiny, in the box puller.
The world of used winches is in an interesting one, and many winches fall into one of three categories: Either the seller used and abused the winch until it stopped working and they abandoned it until the time came when they needed a working winch and bought another one. Or the seller bought a new winch, put it on the Jeep, and there it sat for years or decades until they needed money or sold the Jeep and got tired of looking at the thing sitting on a shelf. Or, finally, there is the winch that was bought and never put on the Jeep, making it still new in the box, but that is kinda rare and usually more expensive than a new winch with no warranty is worth. With either of the first two categories, the seller usually has no idea if the winch works, what the condition it is in, and just wants to get rid of it. Even if the winch looks like the one in our lead photo, all is not lost -- so strap on your Sherlock Holmes hat and figure out if it is a gem or just a lump of coal.

Waterford teachers, staff get ready for the first day of school
Waterford — Dressed in Steve Jobs attire — black sweater with a high neckline and jeans — Superintendent Jerome Belair appeared on the high school auditorium stage Monday to introduce not a new product but a new school year.
Behind him on the projection screen was the image of a Mac Apple, with a large W in the middle to represent Waterford. The audience of 450 teachers, administrators and staff chuckled as he stood before the podium.
"This is the day I have been looking forward to for quite a while: no tropical storm in the forecast, no blizzard, no craziness with weather as far as I can tell," Belair said the day before schools would open for the year. "I believe it is important for us today to recognize the good work that has been going on in our organization."
It is time to look forward to the work teachers, administrators and staff members are embarking on, he said.
"We are not shifting gears, we are continuing the good work that has been in place, and we are going to build on that in the course of the year," Belair said.
Belair shared with teachers and administrators the district's Connecticut Academic Performance Test scores and Connective Mastery Test scores, which for the majority of disciplines and grade levels showed an increase in the number of students who met goal. He went on to say that as the district leaves these tests behind and moves toward using the Common Core standards and evaluation, the school district would be ahead of many others because it has already piloted the new teacher evaluations.
The district has the right foundation, teachers, resources, culture and curriculum to build from, Belair said.
He encouraged teachers and administrators to continue to take the year ahead to learn from one another on how to best implement the Common Core and new evaluations.
Belair said he hadn't seen the new movie about Steve Jobs, but that he watched several video clips online in order to act and dress like the CEO of Apple who died in 2011.
Jim Sachs, principal of Clark Lane Middle School, said the presentation was one of the best openings he had ever seen from a superintendent.
He said the superintendent is encouraging educators to do what they do best: learn from each other and teach.
Belair also provided the results from a parent survey, which gave the district high marks. Of the 891 parent respondents, 90 percent of high school and middle school parents said they would recommend the school their child attended to other parents. At the elementary schools, 97 percent of parents said they would recommend the school.
Ninety percent of parents with high school or middle school children and 98 percent of elementary school parents said they were satisfied with the education their child was receiving.
Teachers, administrators and staff responded to questions about the school district in a separate survey. Ninety-six percent of them said they believed the students were interested in learning. Ninety-four percent agreed that the learning needs of students are top priority and 92 percent said they trust their principal.
Also at the meeting, school administrators recognized teachers for long-term service. Teachers with 30 years of service are Ed Kolnaski, Great Neck Elementary School; Janet Robinson, The Friendship School; and Linda Roselund, Oswegatchie Elementary School. Frank Procaccini of the elementary band was recognized for 40years.

Natasha Watley joined the Matadors prior to the 2011 season as the team's Volunteer Assistant Coach. A former All-American, National Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist, Watley will work with the Northridge infield and hitters.
A four-time, first-team All-American, All-Region and All-Pac-10 selection at shortstop during her playing career at UCLA, Watley was named the Honda Award winner for the sport of softball at the conclusion of her senior season in 2003 and went on to become the second softball recipient of the Honda-Broderick Cup, which is presented annually to the nation's top collegiate female athlete. She joins USA Softball teammate and former Bruin Lisa Fernandez as the only softball recipients of the Honda-Broderick Cup.
Watley finds her name at the top of the UCLA offensive charts in hits (395), runs scored (252), at-bats (878), triples (21) and stolen bases (158). She is also second in average at .450, tying her for seventh in NCAA history. Watley places in the NCAA Top 10 in hits (3rd), runs (T-6th) and steals (10th). She had over 100 hits in each of her last three seasons, leading the Bruins in hits, as well as stolen bases, all four years. Watley started all 251 games she appeared in, which is third on UCLA's all-time games played list.
Watley's collegiate career ended in dramatic style as she led the Bruins to the 2003 NCAA Championship, the 10th National Championship in program history. She earned All-Women's College World Series honors for her efforts, a feat she also accomplished in 2002.
Following her collegiate career, Watley was named to the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team, where she would go on to start at shortstop and hit .400 (12-for-30) for the United States in the Athens Olympics. Watley started all nine games for Team USA, turning in a double, a triple and five stolen bases in those starts and helping the U.S. to the gold medal.
In 2008 at the Beijing Games, Team USA won a silver medal, as Watley hit .321 (9-for-28) with six runs scored, six runs batted in, two homers and two steals. She had a hit in eight of the nine games, starting every contest at shortstop.
In 2008, Watley helped the U.S. National Team to gold medals at the KFC World Cup of Softball, the Canada Cup and the Japan Cup. She is a three-time World Cup Champion ('06 and '07), two-time Pan American Games gold medalist ('03 & '07) and two-time World Champion (2002 and 2006).
In 2009, Watley played in the Japan League for Team Toyota and has also played professionally in the National Pro Fastpitch League (2005 and '06) and the PFX Tour since 2007.
Following the 2006 Olympics, Watley spent the past five seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at UCLA.
Watley graduated from UCLA with a sociology degree in 2005.

From JmPm
Jerusalem.pm Meeting April 25, 2007
Unfortunately, there wasn't a big crowd this time. I think that was probably because it was the day after Yom Haatsmaut and everyone was tired. I will remember not to plan anything on that day in the future. Amir ( User:Amire80 ) gave an interesting lecture, beginning with an explantion of linguistics with examples in various languages. Then he showed us some of the regular expressions he used. There was more that he could have spoken about and I could see that he had more planned, but he had taken a little too much time. I used a little "chutzpah" when I raised my hand and mentioned that there are other people (me in other words) who want to speak. The material was interesting however, and I hope that he has a chance to finish his lecture in the future. I spoke about sorting, because while programming, I came across different recipies for sorts with names that sound like scientific theorems. I thought it might be interesting or helpful to put them all together and summarize them. I put the slides in wiki format and you can refer to them.Sorting (All Sorts of Sorts)

Once upon a time in American politics, there were things called "wedge issues," and they generally terrified Democrats. They were mostly social and cultural issues: abortion, feminism, gay rights, illegal immigration and race. Conservatives wielded them to divide working-class Democrats. Wedge issues helped elect Ronald Reagan to the presidency and dozens of other Republicans to Congress.
And now they aren't working anymore. Or, more precisely, they're not working for the GOP. They're helping the Democrats instead.
Take immigration, long a favorite wedge wielded by Republicans to rally white voters. Last week, the downside of that strategy was on display as Latino voters turned out in bigger numbers than ever before and gave 71% of their votes to the president. Chastened Republicans didn't need much time to figure out the math for future elections, when even more Latinos will register and vote.
INTERACTIVE: U.S. election results
"We've got to deal with the issue of immigration," Haley Barbour, the former Republican National Committee chairman, told me. "We need an immigration policy based on the needs of economic policy." Even Fox News host Sean Hannity saw the light, telling radio listeners Thursday that his views have "evolved" and he favors a "pathway to citizenship" for some undocumented immigrants.
But immigration is the easy lesson. There's another set of numbers in the polls that is giving Republican strategists sleepless nights: the way women voted, especially unmarried women.
Women voted for President Obama over Mitt Romney, 55% to 44%; men voted for Romney, 52% to 45%. What's worse, the gender gap has grown since 2008; women stayed loyal to Obama even when men didn't.
COMMENTARY AND ANALYSIS: Presidential election 2012
And there's a bigger gap than the gender gap: the marriage gap. Most married women voted for Romney, 53% to 46%. But unmarried women went overwhelmingly for Obama, 67% to 31%.
"The gender gap is big, but the marriage gap is huge," Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg noted.
And unmarried women made up an impressive 23% of the electorate, a bloc more than twice as big as those much-studied Latinos.
Why are unmarried women — a category that includes older divorced women as well as young singles — so Democratic?
In part because of another wedge issue Democrats once wanted to hide from: abortion. A Gallup/USA Today poll in October found that when women were asked what issue in the presidential campaign was "most important for women," 39% named abortion — more than cited the economy.
Those women were particularly susceptible to the Obama campaign's relentless efforts to paint Romney as a hard-liner not only on abortion but on access to contraception.
Democrats claimed that Republicans were waging a "war on women." They paid for thousands of television ads that replayed a clip of Romney vowing: "Planned Parenthood — we're going to get rid of that." Technically, Romney was merely embracing the conservative position that Planned Parenthood should be denied funding because it provides abortions to some clients. But Obama and his allies did their best to make it sound like a broader attack on birth control and women's health, and it worked.
In polls conducted for Women's Voices, Women Vote, a liberal organization, Greenberg found that Romney's opposition to Planned Parenthood was named by one-third of unmarried women as a reason to vote against him, second only to "out of touch with average people."
If it were only a matter of nominating Senate candidates smart enough to steer clear of oddball comments about rape, the Republicans' problem would be relatively easy to solve. But attacking Planned Parenthood, abortion rights and immigration are hard to paper over.
As former GOP strategist Matthew Dowd once put it: "The Republican party is a 'Mad Men' party in a 'Modern Family' America."The question now is whether the party can recast its image before the 2016 election. It can change course on immigration and even compromise with Obama on tax rates. But with much of the GOP base composed of social conservatives and evangelical Christians, finding a new way to talk about abortion will be more difficult.
Moderates are already arguing that the GOP should simply downplay social issues. "We have to get out of people's lives, get out of people's bedrooms … or else we're going to lose," Rep. Steven C.
LaTourette (R-Ohio) said on CNN last week, calling the "tea party's" proposed solutions "crap." La Tourette is retiring from the House this year.
Social conservatives argue, instead, that they should hit the issues even harder and try to win the battle for hearts and minds. "Obama launched a war over abortion," complained Marjorie Dannenfelser of the Susan B. Anthony List. "Republicans had a truce." She said her group would try to train future antiabortion candidates "to discuss the issue with compassion and love."
In the middle, the party elders are trying to navigate uncomfortably between two strains of Republicanism.
"Do Republicans want to do better among women?" Barbour asked. "You bet." How can the party do that? "That's what we need to figure out," he said.

Code Snippets
Wing Pro provides support for defining and using code snippets for commonly reused bits of code and other text. Snippets might be used for standard file skeletons, comment formats, dividers, class definitions, function definitions, HTML tables, and much more. Variants of snippets may be defined for different contexts, for example to include or omit self in a def depending on whether or not it is a method in a class.
Wing's snippet functionality is implemented in the Snippets tool panel and by providing the snippets by name in the editor's auto-completer. Key bindings can be assigned to snippets so that the snippets tool does not have to be visible in order to use a snippet.
Although Wing comes with a few example snippets, in most cases users will want to define their own, to match their coding conventions and preferences.
User Interface
The Snippets tool panel provides the means for adding, editing, removing, and executing snippets, and also assigning key bindings for pasting selected snippets into the current editor. Most of the functionality is provided by the options menu in the top right and by right clicking on the snippet list. Note that some of the operations (those followed by ... in the menus) will prompt for input at the bottom of Wing's window.
The option menu in the top right of the Snippets tool (also accessible by right-clicking on the tab area) provides items for adding, removing, and renaming file types into which to organize snippets. The name of the file type is the file extension that Wing should use by default when creating a new file based on a snippet. It is also used to look up the mime type of the file, so that the snippet can be made available within any file of that type, regardless of its actual name. The * file type, which is always present, allows defining snippets that can be applied to all file types.
To add, edit, renamed, copy, and remove snippets, use the items in the context menu that appears when you right-click on the surface of the snippet list in the Snippets tool. This menu also provides items for inserting the snippet into the current file or a new file.
It is possible to specify the context within the file for which a snippet is appropriate. This allows, for example, the definition of a snippet def that varies to include or omit self depending on whether or not it is within a class. When available, this is done with items in the snippet list context menu. The snippet defined for context all will be used when no specific context match is made. The default set of snippets that ship with Wing illustrate this feature with the def and class snippet variants.
The set of valid contexts depends on file type. For Python files the valid context names are module, class, method, function, comment, string. For HTML and XML, files are divided into content, code (within < and >), comment, and string. Other files only distinguish code, comment, and string. Additionally, the context all is used for all file types to indicate any context.
To set the context for a snippet, click on the context name in the snippet lists's Context column, or use the items in the right-click context menu on the snippet list.
Key Bindings
The snippet list context menu menu also allows assigning key bindings to snippets, so they can be executed more easily. The key binding entry area is shown at the bottom of the IDE window, and Enter is pressed to accept the displayed binding. Note that bindings can be multi-key sequences such as Ctrl-Shift-H Ctrl-A. Pressing the keys in sufficiently rapid succession creates a sequence. Waiting a moment will start a new sequence when further keys are pressed. Clicking away from the entry area will abort the operation without assigning any key binding.
Note that key bindings are assigned to the snippet by name and not to a particular snippet file. If multiple like-named snippets exists for different file types or contexts, the appropriate snippet is chosen when the key binding is used.
Execution and Data Entry
When snippets are executed, Wing chooses the snippet by name and places the correct variant according to the file type and the context within the current editor. The caret position on the editor is used to determine the context, so altering the position of the caret within leading indentation may alter which snippet variant Wing selects.
When a snippet is used, Wing will place default arguments into the snippet, convert indentation and line endings to match the target file, paste it into the active editor, and place the editor into inline data entry mode to collect additional arguments for the snippet.
In data entry mode, Wing will move between the data entry fields in the snippet when Tab or BackTab are pressed. The position within the snippet's fields will be displayed in the status area at the bottom of the editor window.
In this mode, the Indent and Outdent commands in the Indentation sub-group of Wing's Source menu (and their key equivalents) can be used to increase or decrease the indentation of the whole snippet within the editor. However, the same snippet variant that was used initially will be used regardless of subsequent changes in indentation.
To exit data entry mode, press Esc (or Ctrl-G in emacs mode) or move the caret outside of the pasted snippet. To undo the snippet insertion, use Undo in the Edit menu or its key binding.
Snippets are also listed in the editor's auto-completer and may be activated from there. To disable this feature, turn off the auto-completer preference Include Snippets in Completer.
Snippet Syntax
Snippets are text files that contain markers where user-provided values should be inserted. These markers are similar to Python's %(varname)s string substitution syntax but instead of containing only a variable name, the body of the marker contains richer argument collection information in the following format, with vertical bars dividing each value:
Type and default are optional but the vertical bars must be present if omitting type but including a default. To write a snippet that includes Python style string formats, escape each % by writing %% instead.
Each part is defined as follows:
varname -- The name of the variable. Since arguments are collected inline, this name is used internally only. Future extensions may display this name to the user, by replacing underscores with spaces and capitalizing words (for example "user_name" would be rendered "User Name"). If a variable name is used multiple times in a snippet, the same value will be inserted multiple times.
An @ prepended to the variable name indicates that the value should be wrapped if it exceeds the configured text wrap line column.
A ! prepended to the variable name indicates that the value should also act as a tab stop even if its value is inserted from another like-named field. This has no effect if the field name is unique.
type -- The type of data to collect. Currently this is one of:
string(length) -- a string with given maximum length (uses default 80 chars if length is omitted)
date -- current date in locale's preferred format or in the time.strftime() format given in the environment variable __DATE_FORMAT__
datetime -- current date+time in locale's preferred format or in the time.strftime() format given in the environment variable __DATETIME_FORMAT__
If this field is omitted or empty, string is assumed.
default -- The default value to use. This may be the actual value, or may contain environment variable references in the form $(envname) or ${envname} to attempt to read all or part of the value from the named environment variable or one of the special variables enumerated in Environment Variable Expansion.
Environment variables can be specified either in the Debug tab of Wing's Project Properties or in the environment that exists before Wing is launched. Values in the Project Properties override any values set before starting Wing.
When this field is omitted, or when no default environment value can be found, the field will be left blank .
Indentation and Line Endings
Snippets should always use one tab for each level of indentation. Tabs will be replaced with the appropriate indentation type and size when the snippet is used in a new or existing file (either according to content of the target file or using the configured indent style and indent size for new files). Wing will force tab indentation in all newly created snippet files.
Similarly, line endings in snippets will be replaced with the appropriate type to match the file to which the snippet is applied. However, there is no requirement for snippet files to contain any particular kind of line ending.
If the snippet starts with |x| then x is a specification of how the indents in the snippet should be converted. It can be one of:
- An integer: Re-indent as a block, like Wing's indent-region command, so the first line is at the given number of indent levels.
- The character 'm': Re-indent as a block, like Wing's indent-to-match command, so the first line is at the expected indent level according to context in the source.
- The character 'm' followed by '+' or '-' and an integer: Re-indent as for 'm' and then shift left or right by the given number of indents.
Any |x| at the start of a snippet file will be removed before the snippet is inserted into an editor.
Cursor Placement
Snippets can contain |!| to indicate the final resting position of the cursor after all other fields have been filled. When this is present, inline data entry mode is terminated automatically when this position is reached (after all other fields have been entered). The mark will be removed before snippets are inserted into an editor.
Snippet Directory Layout
Snippets are stored in the snippets directory in the user settings directory. The first time the Snippets tool is used, this directory is populated by making a copy of the default set of snippets that ship with Wing (these can be found in snippets within your Wing installation). After that, edits and additions made will appear here, and these files can be copied to other installations of Wing to share the snippets with other users or on other machines.
Additional directories for finding snippets can be specified with the Editor > Snippets > Snippets Path preference. Later directories on the path override earlier directories for the same snippet name. New snippets will be created in the last directory on the path. When one or more directories have been added to the Snippets Path, the Editor > Snippets > Include Default Snippets preference can be used to disable displaying the default set of snippets in the Snippets tool.
File Types
This directory is organized by the file type to which they apply. Snippets stored at the top level of this directory can be used with any file in the editor and are shown in the * tab in the Snippets tool. Those stored in sub-directories are used only for files of a particular type. The name of the sub-directories is the file extension for that file type (for example py for Python). This is converted to a mime type so that the snippets are available for all files of that type, regardless of their naming. The name of the file type directory also provides the file extension to use for new untitled files when a snippet is pasted into a new file.
When snippets are defined for a particular context within a file, they are stored in a sub-directory named context.ctx where context is replaced with the context name (see above). When a snippet is defined as the default, or without a particular context, it is stored in the top level of the file type directory.
Wing also stores a configuration file in the user's snippets directory. This file is named .config and is used for internal book keeping. It should not be altered or removed, as this may cause the loss of your snippet files.
The following commands are available for invoking snippets:
snippet -- This will insert a snippet (selected by name) at the cursor in the current editor. If there is a non-empty selection on the editor, it will replace the selection. The editor will be placed into data entry mode for the collection of the snippet arguments.
snippet-file -- This will create a new file of the type specified by the snippet file's extension and insert the selected snippet into it before entering data entry mode in the editor for the collection of the snippet arguments.
In most cases, you will use the Assign Key Binding item in the Snippets tool's context menu to invoke these commands for a particular snippet.
Scripting Snippets
Wing's extension scripting API exposes the editor's data entry mode and snippet processing capabilities. This can be used to write scripts that generate snippets and paste them into the editor for user data entry. This approach may be preferable when the snippet markup language described above is not sufficient.
For details, see the PasteSnippet and StartDataEntry methods in wingapi.py and refer to Scripting and Extending Wing.
