AbstractBillions of dollars have been invested by the United State to acquire the most technologically advanced military hardware in history, and, thereby provide battlefield advantages to military personnel. Protection of our sophisticated weapons systems and their components is critical for the continued maintenance of our technological advantages. Detecting and counteracting the newest methods of reverse engineering is vital to the protection of U.S. technology from compromise. Implementing software countermeasures alone is insufficient, especially when protecting and authenticating multiple components at the system level. Sensors covertly applied to individual components provide a solution. The focus of Phase I of this project was to develop a materials based sensor to detect, respond to, and provide a unique signature of reverse engineering attempts through circuitry monitoring. Phase II of this project shall further develop the design of the nanoengineered sensor to detect interrogation attempts though changes in capacitance and fluorescence, generate local voltages, and provide a unique, covert, and physically unclonable signature. Phase II includes the investigation of the sensor"s ability to classify attacks and the optimization of system performance. At the conclusion of Phase II, a prototype will be demonstrated and delivered to the government.

The premise of the Forbes analysis is ill-conceived and silly. You can't
make a relevant evaluation of a contract by looking at past performance.
The best way for an NFL team to go downhill is to start paying players for PAST performance. For example, giving a RB a 5 year big money deal because he's had 5 straight good years might look good if you look back like Forbes did, but if you consider the average career of a RB is far less than 10 years and their productive years are typically far fewer than that, it's likely you've grossly overpaid in this scenario.
Kruger is being paid for future performance, not past performance. You can't objectively evaluate the contract until he's played the years covered by the contract.

Good for Paul, was he supposed to say "no" when they offered it to
That said I thought the contract was excessive when it was announced but in the NFL contracts aren't guaranteed so if he turns out to be not worth it they can cut him and save some money, he'll have to live up to it to collect it.

Ageed whole heartedly. Because of the inflation of professional contracts we are not in a position to take a family to a game and enjoy a night out. The fans are the ones who allow this to happen and until we surpress their greed this will never change.

Beats being among the most underpaid players in the NFL.
Unlike basketball and baseball there is no guarantee contracts in the NFL, so if Paul or anyone else that wants to remain overpaid then they must perform.

Being overpaid is a blessing considering how short NFL careers typically last.
It also means Kruger has a top-flight agent.
With such a nice contract, would Kruger help his alma mater upgrade its stadium? :)

"in the NFL contracts aren't guaranteed so if he turns out to be not worth it they can cut him and save some money, he'll have to live up to it to collect it."
Exactly. What he eventually gets paid is determined by his performance on the field.
"The fans are the ones who allow this to happen and until we surpress their greed this will never change."
Who's greed, the fan's, the owner's or the player's? If the owners didn't pay it or the fans didn't pay for it, the players wouldn't collect it. Seems your unhappiness towards the overpaid players is misplaced. I can't fault ANY player for getting paid if the owners are willing to pay it and the fans are willing to pay for it.
Go Paul. Go Utes!!

@ Lindon Man
So NFL rookies are paid for past performance, i.e., their performance in college. I'm afraid that would be an NCAA violation (TIC). NFL players should get paid for the work that they do during the term of the contract they're paid under, not for performance in past years.
Anyone paid on commission understand this principle. You get paid for what you produce this year, not what you sold last year.
If an NFL team signs someone to a 5 year contract, it should be based on their reasonable assessment of what the player will do over that 5 year period. What the did over the previous 5 years is one factor to consider, but considering the short shelf-life of NFL players, it's clearly not the only metric you'd want to look at.

@Mister J, Forbes actually has a list of "highest paid CEO's. They take into acct salary, stock options and retirement benefits. It's pretty transparent to see who is over paid and who isn't. As far as Kruger goes, if he performs like he did last year he won't be on this list next year.

Rangers can't create another chance and Dundee United hold on for a far closer victory than looked likely when they went 2-0 up in the early stages of the second half. Rangers, led by Davis, pushed and pushed for the equaliser in the last half-hour but had too much to do by then thanks to Watson's screamer and Daly's close-range effort despite Aluko pulling one back.
Into the last of the added minutes now. McGregor to launch the ball forward for one last Rangers chance perhaps.
Glorious chance for Rangers! Davis' knockdown finds Little, whose first touch is sublime and tees up a shot on goal from 12 yards out, but he can't find the finish to match as he sends the ball wide of the upright.
Kerkar's corner is headed clear, but United's attempt to break is cut short by the excellent Davis dispossessing Armstrong.
A minimum of three minutes to add here, and Rangers have won a corner at the start of the first of them.
United break down the right as we move into the final minute, but the move breaks down as Armstrong and Dixon fail to engineer a crossing opportunity.
United looking for a game-clinching third, but Daly can't pick out the run of Flood, and the ball ricochets to McGregor off Robertson.
Another good move from Rangers sees Aluko play in Bedoya on the right, but his cross is well blocked by Dixon at the expense of a corner.
Mackay-Steven breaks down the left with Rangers short at the back, but his low cross finds McCulloch rather than Daly.
Wallace fires a low cross into the United six-yard box after good build-up work, but it's scrambled clear by the home side.
Aluko's made a difference since coming off the bench and gets another shot away from the edge of the box that is well gathered in by Pernis at his near post.
A miscued clearance from Kerkar gives Mackay-Steven a shooting chance 25 yards from goal, but he overcomplicates on the edge of the box and is dispossessed.
Aluko looks to tee up Davison the edge of the box, but Rankin gets there first and hammers the ball clear.
Chance for Rangers! Great first touch from Davis allows him to cross for Little, whose first-time effort is straight at Pernis. That wouldn't have needed to be far either side of the keeper to make it 2-2.
Rangers are pushing hard for the equaliser here, but Kerkar's cross is poor and allows Pernis to make a comfortable grab.
United do now have the chance to clear, the referee awarding the home side a free-kick as the ball comes into a crowded penalty box.
The corner is cleared, but it's a Rangers throw as the visitors keep the pressure on. Ten minutes ago things looked so comfortable for United. No longer.
Good spell of possession and pressure from Rangers ends with Wallace's cross being diverted behind for a corner by Dixon.
The corner is cleared to Sean Dillon, who tries an audacious looping volley that is close enough to the target to have McGregor worried before it lands on the roof of the net.
Great block from McCulloch to deny Russell after he'd been found by Gunning's header back across goal.
Davis does brilliantly to win the ball back for Rangers in midfield and then set Bedoya away on the right. He cuts inside and shoots low at the near post where Pernis' handling is secure with two or three blue shirts in close attention.
A promising position for United comes to nothing as Russell is penalised for a push in the back on McCulloch.
A test for United now, who had been knocking the ball around with great confidence since taking that 2-0 lead early in the second half.
GOAL - ALUKO! Aluko gets the rewards for skill and persistence as he chases a ball down the right and then bursts into the United box and past three challenges before attempting a cross that deflects over Pernis and spins inside the far post. Aluko will claim it, and deserves it for the run. Rangers back in a game that appeared to be drifting away from them.
A rare Rangers foray forward in this second half ends with Davis dragging a shot well wide from 25 yards.
Mackay-Steven starting to enjoy himself here, but after skipping round a couple of Rangers players he's eventually crowded out.
United looking so much more confident going forward now than in those soporific opening exchanges in the first half. Could be a long afternoon now for depleted Rangers.
United carving Rangers open at will now. Mackay-Steven slips in Rankin down the left, but his cross is too high for Daly to generate any power, and his looping header lands on the roof of the net.
First change for Rangers. Mitchell, who gave the ball away in the build-up to United's second goal, makes way for Sone Aluko.
Russell has stayed down after that challenge from Wallace. Looks like he just turned his left ankle as he went to ground. He's back to his feet, albeit gingerly, and hobbles to the sidelines for further treatment.
Russell is played through but denied by a good tackle from Wallace. The ball breaks to Daly, who looks to chip McGregor but doe't get enough on it and allows the keeper to make a relatively routine save.
McCabe helps the ball into the United area, but the ball bounces into the hands of Pernis off Bedoya's head.
GOAL - DALY! Another fine goal for Dundee United as Mackay-Steven skips past McCabe and then whips in a delightful low cross that eludes McGregor and gives Daly the easiest of finishes from no more than three yards. All about the quality of the delivery there.
Great run from Russell takes him into the Rangers box, but he then drags his cross-shot wide of the target but well in front of the tangerine shirts looking to get up in support.
Hardly any added time before the half-time whistle blows, with Watson's moment of magic separating the sides in a game of few chances.
Gunning attacks the free-kick, and the ref blows up for a free-kick after deciding the United man was climbing on the back of the Rangers defender. Gunning then picks up a caution, presumably for something he said.
Flood goes down in the Rangers box. There are shouts for a penalty - mainly from the fans it must be said - but a corner is all United get.
Dixon takes on Mitchell and manages to get his cross in. It's cleared back to him, but all he can do is divert the ball behind for a goal-kick.
The corner is cleared and the return ball back into the box is easy for Pernis. Decent response from Rangers, though, to the shock of falling behind in a game they've largely controlled.
Rangers looking for an instant response as first Kerkar and then Davis try to find a shooting position in the United box. Eventually the ball is played to Mitchell, whose slightly scuffed shot ricochets behind off a United player.
McGregor actually got a fingertip to that Watson thunderbolt, but such was the sweetness of the strike he had no chance of keeping it out.
GOAL - WATSON! Stunning opening goal for Watson. The corner is cleared away for a throw, which is hurled into the penalty area and headed only partially clear by McCulloch. Watson runs on to the ball and absolutely laces a volley past McGregor from the edge of the box.
McCabe forced to concede a corner under pressure. Much better fare in this last quarter-hour after a slow start to proceedings.
Kerkar somehow finds a sight of goal as he stumbles through the United defence who twice should've dispossessed him, but then pokes tamely wide with his right foot when he may have been better served using the left.
McCabe fires a long throw down the touchline for Little, but his touch is poor and the ball trickles out of play for a United throw. Little not particularly enjoying his lone-striker role so far today.
Rangers having a good spell here as the ball drops to Mitchell on the edge of the box but his shot is blocked.
Another chance for the visitors as Wallace swings in a cross from the left that the onrushing Bedoya heads just over the bar.
Game coming to life now as Davis slips in Salim Kerkar who perhaps gives up on the ball a little too early and allows Pernis to clear. Didn't look like he fancied that too much, the Rangers man.
Mackay-Steven and Russell link up nicely before looking to find a route through to Jon Daly, but McCulloch intercepts. Bit more like it.
A welcome sign of positive intent from Mackay-Steven ends with United winning a free-kick 30 yards from goal after Lee McCulloch's foul.
Rangers are unbeaten in their last eight SPL visits to Tannadice and have won the last three, but may need to find a bit more than they've shown so far to keep that run going today.
Little getting, well, little joy up front on his own for Rangers here and is easily held off by Gavin Gunning as the ball runs out for a United goal-kick.
Paul Dixon wins a throw-in off Rhys McCabe. Officials didn't seem too convinced, but they've made the right decision in the end.
The possession stats show a 50-50 split. Not always the most useful of stats, but that one's a pretty fair reflection of things today I'd say.
A midfield slip from Davis gives Scott Robertson the chance to break for United, but he seems unsure whether to go alone or play a pass and in the end does neither as a promising position comes to nothing.
It's a scrappy start to the game really, with that one run and strike from Davis the only real bright spot from either side.
United make slow but steady progress down the right through a series of throw-ins before a long throw is hurled into the Rangers box and headed clear by Maurice Edu.
Keith Watson picks up the first booking of the afternoon for a crude tackle from behind on Wallace. Can have few complaints really.
Gary Mackay-Steven has United's first real effort on goal of the afternoon, but drags his shot well wide from 20 yards.
Davis is set away by Andrew Little, and when the United defenders stand off him he decides to have a crack and forces Dusan Pernis to turn the ball behind for a corner. First real sight of goal for either side.
Mitchell does well to keep the ball in on the right and fires in a cross, but it's just too high for Alejandro Bedoya and the ball skims off the top of his head.
Lee Wallace breaks down the left and appeals for a corner as the ball spins out of play, but the referee signals a goal-kick.
Lee Wallace tidies up at left-back for Rangers before rolling the ball back for Allan McGregor to clear.
Dundee United look to pick a path through the Rangers backline, but the visitors hold firm and uff out the threat.
Dundee Utd: Pernis, Watson, Dillon, Gunning, Dixon, Flood, Robertson, Rankin, Mackay-Steven, Russell, Daly. Subs: Banks, Kenneth, Ryan, Swanson, Douglas, Armstrong, Dow
Rangers: McGregor, McCabe, Perry, McCulloch, Wallace, Mitchell, Bedoya, Davis, Edu, Kerkar, Little. Subs: Alexander, Healy, Aluko, Hegarty, Hemmings
Maurice Edu returns from suspension as Northern Ireland Under-21 player Andrew Mitchell makes his Rangers debut at Tannadice. Ally McCoist is missing six defenders including the suspended Carlos Bocanegra and Dorin Goian while midfielder Alejandro Bedoya gets a rare start, in place of Sone Aluko. United have right-back Robbie Neilson suspended, with his place taken by Keith Watson.

The upper airway, including nasal cavities, naso-, oro-, and hypopharynx, is the portal of entry for air pollutants. Upper airway (as well as eye) irritation figures prominently in symptom reporting in so-called problem buildings and with exposure to environmental tobacco smoke. Large particles and water-soluble gases and vapors are likely to have their initial irritant effects in the mucous membranes of the upper airway and eyes, giving warning to the exposed individual to minimize further exposure. The spectrum of irritant-related upper airway health effects is reviewed in this article.

Other Side of Airby Jeanne Braselton
View All Available Formats & Editions
Katy Doyal has loved her husband, Ephraim, since their very first meeting in Rome, Georgia,
From Jeanne Braselton, author of the crtically acclaimed A False Sense of Well Being comes an irresistible new novel about the power of enduring love, poignantly told by an unforgettable narrator who's watching from her place on "the other side of air."
Katy Doyal has loved her husband, Ephraim, since their very first meeting in Rome, Georgia, when she was eight years old. Now, realizing that her time on earth is slipping away, Katy is determined to leave behind an orderly life and enlists the help of a stranger–a middle-aged, robust, wild-haired woman named Rose–to become a caretaker to her dear, dotty curmudgeon. After Katy passes, Ephraim is surprised to notice that his grief is easier to bear thanks to the arrival of this outsider. Even Katy, observing the events from the great beyond, is pleased.
If only Katy and Ephraim's only child, Wyatt, could be so accepting. After moving to California to start his own life, Wyatt is still unable to escape his feelings of insecurity and exclusion from his parent's ironclad union–a neediness that endangers his own marriage, and threatens to overshadow his mother's death and upstage his father's mourning.
But Rose isn't about to let anything distract her from her sacred mission. And Katy–watching her family embracing life and love again–knows she needs to let go before she can earn "her wings."

The Other Side of Air
By Jeanne Braselton
Random HouseJeanne Braselton
All right reserved.
Chapter One
Now that I have died, I see all and know all, and there's nothing I can do about it. Before, the frustration would've been intolerable, but the instruction would've been the same--let things go from your hands, watch them land where they will and be glad, be decent and do your best, take care of those who love you, make your bed, do the nastiest job of the day first--no lessons that require divine revelation, you see, only common sense, nothing supernatural. Consider how jangled the world would be if our judgment from beyond continued to mean anything. Not to say that having the power to reach down into lives to lift burdens and simplify sticky situations wouldn't be thrilling. From all indications, though, it wouldn't be the best use of a brief allotment of time and imaginative longing to consider our leaving as anything other than a final journey. And take a tip-- memories are all we're capable of offering in the way of influence.
People who have loved us tend to leave the rooms we lie in committed to do more, see more, and so be able to die sometime in the distant future with more honor and fewer regrets than they believe we took with us. They can wonder so intently at the meaning of it all that an answer which may have been stranded inside them, abandoned, or atrophied from disuse will finally, suddenly, makeitself heard. Despite their conviction that intimations of how to live better lives felt far too urgent and true to have arisen from any ordinary thing, lessons that matter always come on the heels of the simple act of remembering words and acts of love given to them by the person they've had to close the door on.
Mothers and wives are naturally inclined to notice large and small improvements individuals could be making in their lives, but it doesn't take death to prove the futility of trying to coordinate people to behave according to directions you prefer, or to believe what you know to be an indisputable truth. A living, even partially alert mother knows the limits of her ability to change a mind if she happens to have a grown child like mine who turns away from any evidence that his successes would be less impressive were it not for his parents' willingness to get up at dawn and work until dark. Specific memories of love, though, once they begin coming in through the grieving, are invariably dependable revelations, which can be trusted to finish transformations we weren't able to see completed.
Living in love for seventy-three years kept me immune to a great deal of frustration. From the instant in 1925 when the eight-year-old boy who would eventually be my husband squinted up from a mud hole he was stirring with a long stick on the long dirt road that passed by my house and his outside Rome, Georgia, adoration contained all the possibilities of freedom and trust. Our first conversation was chiefly made up of debate over why a new girl who'd just moved from Athens, a college town even small children learned to disparage, felt righteous enough to suggest that he was going to drive the stick up into his head if he continued to pick his dirty nose with it.
He said I seemed like a person who liked to dictate. "You look like them that like to try out to be the boss of somebody, but I got a mama, though she don't smile correcting."
"I always smile," I told him, "when I'm doing something I'm good at."
"The teachers don't give out lessons on the first day, but I bet you're going to make up some hard homework for all your doll babies soon as you get to the house."
I said, "I'm not saying, and you can't talk. I didn't see you at school."
"I don't get up of a morning, like some, studying school."
"You think you can turn out, playing in a filthy hole? You look like you'd be in my grade, unless you were left back. You been left back?"
"No," he said, "I'm the right age, covering from the fever is all. I'll be over by there directly. Mama said I could go when I felt like it. I might feel like it tomorrow, I may not."
"You must be Ephraim," I said. "The teacher called out your name and marked you absent. People told her you'd had a temperature."
"I did," he said, "but not now."
"Then you ought to report tomorrow," I said. "You don't want to get off to the wrong start. Wouldn't you hate not to turn out? My father's the principal over by the military school, and before we left Athens, he said the public school I'd have to go to had people sixteen in the third grade. I saw a boy with a beard and a mustache playing tetherball today. I might leave and go to the private school in Chattanooga, or I might go to school in England, where my mother's from."
"The boy with the hair on his face," he said, "is slow on account of he didn't get his air being born, but if he could think to know where England or Tennessee was, he'd wish you happy travels."
When I laughed, a hard shell around him cracked, letting out a sudden brightness, as he said, "You thought about taking snuff or something to take the gleaming glare off your teeth? You always so shiny in the face? I bet you stay clean. I took and saved up for some Ipana, but the man came to the door with a parakeet in a suitcase the other day and asked me what I'd give him for it. Your family use Ipana? Your mama got nice teeth? It was some English that kept house that summer my mama cooked in Atlanta, eight, nine of them, and three, four right teeth in their head if you could of stomached counting. I got to sleep on a feather mattress, though."
Before I could ask for details, his thin, large-eyed mother came outside and stood by him, holding a square of calico, and as she opened it and sorted out a few nickels and pennies, she smiled at me, saying, "I heard it was a new family down the road. You must be the girl. I need to send Ephraim to the store after a snack of supper, if you care to walk with him."
I was clueless as to what grade of supper could be bought for the eighteen cents she warned him not to lose along the way or waste on another trick bird. He stood and brushed dirt off his long legs and combed his fingers through an unruly head of dusty black hair, telling his mother, "Last time, they said they'd let me get some Ipana on time. I wish you'd allow it."
When she said they weren't buying tooth powder on credit, explaining how that kind of lax attitude about finances was what had condemned her to work like an animal since his father died and left them under a burden of debts, I took the time to consider the ridges on his fingernails, how deeply furrowed they were, like the plowed field across the road. And even though everyone our age was snaggle-toothed, his few stray crooks of outsize permanent teeth appeared to be coming in rotten.
Noticing me inspecting, his mother said, "He still looks a little catching, but he's stopped being, so you won't get something on the way to the store. When you get there, I'd appreciate it if you stood behind him and didn't let the man sell him casings and call it sausage, like he did the other day."
"I know how to speak up," Ephraim told her.
"Oh," I said, "I didn't speak up my name. It's Katy, and I'd like to go, but I should be going home now."
I couldn't say my mother was making a pork loin and a chocolate cake for my and my father's first school days, or that she was serving dinner early to allow time to drive to the dime store for fresh notebooks, lead, and all the other merchandise I'd been fantasizing about that would amount to a total of a great deal more than eighteen cents. I didn't know about country people and their food habits and home ways, but I understood from Ephraim's sudden, irritated distraction that he was probably regarding how unnecessarily greedy the clerk had been to rook a woman and a child out of a dime's worth of nourishment and how he should've spoken up against it, or maybe how the casings had slipped around in his mouth.
My father had just finished an advanced degree in secondary education from the University of Georgia and taken on a small, new academy for problem boys, and my mother had been raised on Edgewater Road in London. Her par- ents had been domestics, but my meaning is she was wholly unfamiliar with the fatalistic outlook of rural people who're extremely clever and efficient at enduring hunger, heat, disease, and poverty but too paralyzed to change anything. That was what I heard when Ephraim's mother told him, "You need to run on by yourself, then, and if you can't get anything but what amounts to nothing, make sure to get a cracker to go with it."
It was going to be an awful errand. I blurted, "If you want to come to my house and let me catch you up on school, you could stay and eat supper."
When his mother asked him if that's what he wanted to do, he said, "No, but I might." She looked at me hard as we were walking away, wondering, I know now, if he was going to return from my ideal environment despising her.
Since our move, my mother had occupied herself with transforming the depression that had begun washing over her in sick waves early in 1925, when my father announced the summer move to north Georgia, which had a reputation for being grindingly impoverished. On the rattling drive down, she'd mournfully narrated the scenery, stark one minute and in chaotic disrepair the next; but in the five or six weeks we'd been living there, her impulsive generosity had sent her into the same falling-down houses she'd criticized with buckets of eggs, sides of ham, bottles of Mercurochrome, and in several cases the county health nurse. Had she come across Ephraim before I did, she would've had him at our table earlier.
She and my father made certain dinner went off normally, and they made Ephraim comfortable. He didn't despise his mother when he returned to his house; he wasn't capable of it. Later, he told me he'd actually felt a little better there, knowing he was continually welcomed to the food and love at mine, and also because we'd come to the agreement that first evening, without having to mention any word pertaining to it, that we were friends, in the deepest order of love--indefinitely, for good, infinitely.

To the Editor.—
Hankin et al (231:484, 1975), in their discussion of lead in pet foods and processed organ meats, comment on the occurrence of lead in liverwurst and state, "It is likely that lead occurs sporadically in liverwurst." They analyzed seven samples of liverwurst and found significant concentrations of lead in each. Almost as an afterthought, in their last paragraph they mention analyzing 14 additional liverwurst samples and finding these 14 to be free of lead. On the basis of these data, they suggest that lead occurs "sporadically" in liverwurst.That "sporadically" occurring lead in liverwurst would show up in all of seven consecutive samples of a first run, and in none of 14 samples of a second analysis, suggests either a statistical miracle or faulty technique.

National Briefing | West: California: Mayor Admits Guilt In Discarding Papers
By Robert B. Gunnison (NYT)
Published: January 9, 2003
Tom Bates, the new mayor of Berkeley, pleaded guilty to petty theft and paid a $100 fine for tossing into the trash 1,000 copies of a newspaper run by students at the University of California that endorsed his opponent in the November election. Mr. Bates, 64, an assemblyman for 20 years, was easily elected on Nov. 5, a day after the paper, The Daily Californian, endorsed Mayor Shirley Dean for a third four-year term. When he took office last month, Mr. Bates apologized at his first meeting with the City Council. Robert B. Gunnison (NYT)

I'm working on a Chess-based hobby project with HTML/CSS/PHP. I wasn't familiar with chess beforehand, so I decided to make a tool that would show which moves were allowed based on the type and square of a given piece.
I have an HTML form with two text fields: one is for the type of the piece and the other one is for current square of said piece. Everything works, but I want to include validation using regular expressions.
The valid, case-insensitive inputs for the piece type are p, pawn, r, rook, b, bishop, n, knight, q, queen, k, king.
The valid, case-insensitive inputs for the square are LetterNumber where Letter can be A-H and Number can be 1-8.
So I'm wondering if using regular expressions to would be possible/practical and if so, could anyone let me know what they are? I'm thinking that I should just use a conditional statement with logical-ors for the piece type but I'm curious to know if there are other solutions.

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Bayer HealthCare and Qiagen have agreed to work together to develop pairs of companion diagnostics and targeted therapies, initially for treating solid tumors, but potentially for noncancer indications. The companion diagnostics, designed to run on Qiagen's QIAsymphony instrument line, will be developed to help guide treatment using Bayer Healthcare therapeutics. The firms will in addition partner on the development of technologies for patient profiling, for potential research use in exploratory and translational medicine.
"Partnering with Qiagen on companion diagnostics will help Bayer HealthCare to develop innovative therapies, enabling physicians to analyze DNA and proteins from each patient," remarks Andreas Busch, Ph.D., head of global drug discovery at Bayer HealthCare. "This helps to design more efficient clincial trials and to increase the overall probability of therapeutic success for patients suffering from cancer."
Qiagen says that outside the latest deal with Bayer Healthcare, it has over 15 additional projects in place with biotech and pharma companies focused on codeveloping and marketing companion diagnostics. A major milestone was reached in July, on FDA approval of therascreen® RGQ PCR Kit, a companion diagnostic used to help identify metastatic colorectal cancer patients most likely to respond to therapy with Erbitux® (cetuximab).
The test was the first of Qiagen's companion diagnostics to have been approved in the U.S. Qiagen currently markets therascreen assays in Europe for biomarkers including KRAS, EGFR NRAS, BRAF, PI3K, JAK2, MGMT, and UGT1A1. In Japan, the therascreen KRAS and EGFR kits were approved in 2011.

Company: Alpha Blue Archives
Cast: Nina Martinez, Martin Victor, Rene Martin, Lidia Hernandez, Ruth Knox, Maddie Palumbo, Sue Pagan, Gene Pierce, Lee Beck, Marie Sutherland, Cora Barry, Dee Serano, Joseph Porter, Dorothy Clemente, Hillary Newman, Others
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Golden Age
This triple feature collects three early hardcore titles by director Harry Hopper, who might be best known for helming the softcore camp-fest Flesh Gordon. These particular films seem like genre exercises of their day, with perfunctory plots connecting the meat and money shots, but the miniskirts, bell-bottoms, afros and wild crotch hair lend a strong period flavor.
Tijuana Blue was shot in Mexico with a cast of Latina whores and has a gritty realism. Incredible Body Snatchers features a "rape" scene that would never fly in today's politically correct world. Seeds of Lust has slightly better production values and is the longest and most varied film, including one memorable scene with a girl in a pumpkin!
The video and audio leaves a lot to be desired – it appears to be a digital transfer from a video transfer from the original film, with added deterioration at every step. But then, these low-budget movies probably looked pretty raggedy even when they were brand new.
Retailing: An early ?70s collection for the nostalgic and the curious.

The fluctuating force model is developed and applied to the turbulent flow of a gas–particle suspension in a channel in the limit of high Stokes number, where the particle relaxation time is large compared to the fluid correlation time, and low particle Reynolds number where the Stokes drag law can be used to describe the interaction between the particles and fluid. In contrast to the Couette flow, the fluid velocity variances in the different directions in the channel are highly non-homogeneous, and they exhibit significant variation across the channel. First, we analyse the fluctuating particle velocity and acceleration distributions at different locations across the channel. The distributions are found to be non-Gaussian near the centre of the channel, and they exhibit significant skewness and flatness. However, acceleration distributions are closer to Gaussian at locations away from the channel centre, especially in regions where the variances of the fluid velocity fluctuations are at a maximum. The time correlations for the fluid velocity fluctuations and particle acceleration fluctuations are evaluated, and it is found that the time correlation of the particle acceleration fluctuations is close to the time correlations of the fluid velocity in a 'moving Eulerian' reference, moving with the mean fluid velocity. The variances of the fluctuating force distributions in the Langevin simulations are determined from the time correlations of the fluid velocity fluctuations and the results are compared with direct numerical simulations. Quantitative agreement between the two simulations are obtained provided the particle viscous relaxation time is at least five times larger than the fluid integral time.

Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
WEST JORDAN — The Jordan School District is once again being called to task over its management of rapid student growth.
School officials had hoped to be planning the construction of 11 new schools. But after the failure of a $495 million bond election, the district is now considering year-round elementary schools and a series of boundary changes to reallocate the swelling student body.
Four boundary change proposals have been posted on the district's website, affecting as many as 15 elementary and middle schools, and residents are encouraged to share their preferences in an online survey.
But many families feel slighted by the district's plans and say the problems of high-growth areas are being thrust onto their established neighborhoods.
"We're not the problem," said Jamie Larsen, one of the organizers behind a community meeting held Monday. "Why are you making (high-growth areas) more comfortable than us? And why are you kicking us out of our school?"
Jordan School District spokeswoman Sandra Riesgraf said school officials are thrilled that residents are talking about the boundary changes and getting engaged in the process. She also emphasized that all of the boundary change options are merely proposals that the school board will discuss and consider prior to any decision.
"We're sensitive to the fact that it will impact families," Riesgraf said. "It will impact neighborhoods, so if people can get together and come up with other solutions that may have less of an impact that would be potentially viable, we want to hear from them."
Larsen said she understands that the district has to make decisions that benefit the largest number of people and that no boundary change is likely to please everyone.
But she added that many residents have the opportunity to voice their opinion on several options, whereas the families in her neighborhood — in the area of 9000 South and Bangerter Highway — face the same result with all of the district's proposed boundary changes.
"In all four options, we're going to Terra Linda Elementary," she said. "We're willing to accept whatever the district decides is best for the district. But we feel like they didn't even give us a choice, and that's what is different about our neighborhood."
Roughly 100 people, including members of the Jordan School Board, attended Monday's community meeting, which included a presentation on the four boundary options and an opportunity for residents to voice their concerns.
Several neighborhoods and schools were represented, and parents took issue with the potential for elementary schools to be split between middle schools, neighborhoods to be split between elementary schools, and the burden of new growth being placed on previously landlocked portions of the district.
Jolynne Alger, a member of the Eastlake Elementary School Community Council, objected to the claim that boundary changes are being proposed to make west-side schools "more comfortable."
Alger said her children's school, located in the Daybreak area of South Jordan, has a dozen portable classrooms surrounding the school and utilizes the teacher's lounge as classroom space.
"The room that we have to move kids is in the northeast part of our district. That is a hard fact," she said. "As I look around the whole district, the options are severe. No one in this district is going to be comfortable at this moment."
Leesa Leonard, whose children are among the roughly 1,400 students at Eastlake Elementary, described the options proposed by the district as challenging but necessary. She said many parents on the district's east side don't recognize the overcrowding faced by the high-growth areas.

Hydration: The Key to Exercise Success (cont.)
Hydration in the Heat
"Staying hydrated is fundamentally important to a successful summer exercise regimen, in fact, for any activity," says Survivor consultant Adrian Cohen, MD, of Neutral Bay, Australia. As the medical advisor for many reality shows, including Survivor and Eco Challenge, Cohen has seen firsthand the havoc that dehydration can wreak on performers and performance. "Whilst we tend to focus on hard, sweaty workouts and long jogging sessions, even a brisk walk or a scratch basketball game in the hotter weather puts demands on the human body, and without the 'fuel' (water) the engine runs dry," says Cohen, author of several books including Survivor First Aid.
Successful, balanced hydration starts with prepping yourself for exercising in the heat, says New York City-based sports medicine expert Lewis G. Maharam, MD. "Take 10 days to two weeks to get used to hot weather, building workout intensity and duration gradually," he says. Engage in higher-intensity activities during cooler morning hours and do easier work during the heat of the afternoon, he suggests.
Choosing Your Hydration Fluid
If you are not running a race, "the rule of thumb is to drink 8 ounces of a sport drink or water possibly every 20 minutes," says Maharam, who advises the ING New York Marathon. No more, no less. "If you are exercising less than 40 minutes, water is fine, but for anything over 40 minutes, you want a sports drink that has sugar or salt in it because this helps you increase the fluid that goes into the body. Most sports drinks contain the equivalent of an "active pump" that gets more water into the body faster than the unassisted process -- simple diffusion of water -- would have.
When choosing a sports drink, look for salt and sugar on the label and choose a flavor that you like. While shoppers may be bombarded with vitamin-infused beverages, Maharam says added vitamins are useful for recovery and post-event muscle soreness -- not for hydration the day of the event.
It's also important to replace the fluid you lose during exercise, he says. Weigh yourself right before and after workouts and for every pound lost, drink eight ounces of fluid.
Moreover, "step out of bed every morning and onto the scale, and if you're anywhere from 1% to 3% lighter than yesterday, rehydrate by drinking eight ounces of fluid for each pound lost before training again," he says. "If you are between 3% and 6% lighter, rehydrate and back off that day's training intensity. And if you lost over 7%, get to the doctor."
Dehydration is somewhat insidious, adds Cohen. You can't always tell when it's starting.
"Humans don't have a 'fuel gauge' like your car, so there is no way to tell if you're full or even approaching empty, and thirst is typically a poor guide," he says. Early signs of dehydration may include poor concentration, headache, and inability to think clearly.

I was told Windows Server 2008 R2 was bundled with SharePoint. Is this true? I haven't been able to find the feature anywhere in the Server Roles/Features interface.
It is "budnled" in taht you do not have to pa for it. It is not bundled in that you have to download the free version separately. The current version is on http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=49c79a8a-4612-4e7d-a0b4-3bb429b46595&displaylang=en (Sharepoint 2010 Foundation)
Windows Small Business Server 2008 comes with Exchange 2007 and Sharepoint Services 3.0. I have never heard of it coming bundled with any other OS.
That said, I recently reviewed the minimum system requirements for Sharepoint 2010 and nearly had a heart attack, so tread carefully if you're going to go to 2010.
It is not bundled. You must download it separately, specifically Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 or higher. Documentation on that here (TechNet).

A staff nurse at the Maurice Spear Campus is to work more hours to keep up with medical needs of youths housed at the Lenawee County juvenile facility. County commissioners voted Tuesday in committee to make the part-time nurse a full-time
"We have so many medical needs for our youth we need a nurse full time," said campus director Joanne Claflin. Twelve of the 14 boys now at the campus and eight of the 13 girls are on medications, some taking multiple medications, she said. That does not include youths in the detention center, she said.
The campus has had a 20-hour-per-week nurse for the past year. Claflin said her hours will be increased to 35 to 40 per week.

I need to look at the contents of sysdatabases from an older backup of master, but I do not want to overwrite my master databse. Can I use the rename option of the restore command to restore master as something else ('MyDB')?
Yes, as long as you are restoring it to a server instance that is the same build number that it came from originally you should be fine. If you try to restore a system database on an instance with different build number it will fail.

By David Urani
There have been some real mixed messages in housing of late, and in particular the builders are still highly confident despite some flagging sales activity on rising mortgage rates. The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index released on Tuesday hit a 58 preliminary reading for September, flat compared to last month, which remains the highest level in almost eight years. There has been a noted pause in momentum as the market adjusts to mortgage rates that are still quite low by historical standards, but have bounced up from the record cheap levels. Nevertheless, traffic of prospective buyers hit a new high, up one point to 47.
Certainly homebuilder confidence has flown somewhat in the face of new-home sales results, which as of the latest reading fell 13% month to month in July on an annually adjusted basis. We do note that readings can be volatile at times, but between that and other indicators -- such as mortgage applications -- it seems clear that housing demand has at least taken a breather lately.
Perhaps the homebuilders are looking at this whole thing from a more historical, long-term perspective. Certainly mortgage rates have risen, to more than 4.5% for a 30-year loan from less than 3.5% late last year, and that makes homes less affordable. However, any volatility in mortgage rates is more near-term turbulence within a long-term growth story. Supply and demand are still the reigning factors for the long term, and in that respect new-home sales are up significantly from a year ago, while still being less than a third that of peak levels (we acknowledge the peak was a bubble, but it goes to show the capacity for sales to continue to rise from the lows). Meanwhile, supply remains relatively scant at just over five months' worth, and I think that's what the homebuilders are probably looking at.
On Wednesday, we got housing starts data for August with a reading of 891K, up modestly from the 883K revised number for July but below the 915K consensus. Meanwhile, permits were down 3.8% month to month and below the 950K consensus. On the surface it wasn't fantastic, but going into it obviously there's a lot of questioning over the housing market on the rise in mortgage rates. So, in that sense, the fact alone that there wasn't a notable decline in starts was a good thing.
Going a step further, I like to look at single-family units, and those showed a 7.0% increase month to month to the highest level since February. Meanwhile single-family permits were up 3.0% to a new multi-year high. So in the area of single-family homes the data looks good, and also does better to echo Tuesday's strong NAHB Housing Market Index reading on builder confidence.

Sprinter Tyson Gay Sanctioned For Doping
Mr. Gay Will be Eligible to Compete Again As Soon As This Summer
U.S. sprinter Tyson Gay will be eligible to compete again as soon as this summer, following the announcement of sanctions Friday for his failure to pass a series of doping tests last year.
Gay, 31, the fastest sprinter in U.S. history and tied for second fastest man ever behind Jamaica's Usain Bolt, tested positive for steroids in samples collected last year by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The agency said Friday it suspended him for a year, backdated to begin June 23, 2013, and stripped him of all race results dating back to July 15, 2012.
The agency said Gay received some leniency "for providing substantial assistance to USADA."
Gay's loss of results includes the Olympic silver medal he won as part of the 2012 U.S. Olympic 4x100 meter relay team, which he has already turned over to the U.S. Olympic Committee, USADA said.
As of late Friday, it was unclear whether Gay's forfeiture would affect the results of the other three men on the relay—Trell Kimmons, Ryan Bailey and Justin Gatlin.
Agents for Global Athletics & Marketing Inc., which represents Gay, Kimmons, and Bailey, didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Asked if he had been contacted about his Olympic relay result, Gatlin said, "I don't know of anything going on."
Patrick Sandusky, a spokesman for the USOC, said that a ruling on the U.S. team result would be made by the International Olympic Committee and the International Association of Athletics Federations, and that the USOC "will obviously cooperate with them on this matter in the days ahead."
Not including results voided Friday, Gay is a three-time U.S. champion in the 100 meters, a two-time champion in the 200 meters and a four-time silver medalist at the World Championships, according to his biography on the USA Track & Field website. The doping sanctions don't affect Gay's standing American record in the 100 meter dash, 9.69 seconds, set in 2009.
Gay told the Associated Press in July that he had tested positive for a banned substance and would withdraw from all subsequent competition as he completed an adjudication process with USADA.
"I don't have a sabotage story. I don't have any lies," Gay told the AP at the time. "I don't have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake or it was on USADA's hands…I basically put my trust in someone and I was let down."
Gay's suspension will expire on June 23, after which he would be eligible to compete. At the moment, Gay doesn't possess a qualifying mark for the U.S. outdoor national track & field championships, which begin June 26 in Sacramento.

ODT Online

The author of the book released on Wednesday told Radio New
Zealand this morning that he was considering releasing some
of the documents provided to him by an anonymous source.
Since the release of the book Prime Minister John Key, Judith
Collins, and Whaleoil blogger Cameron Slater, some of the key
subjects of the book, have claimed the allegations put
forward by Mr Hager were lies.
Mr Hager told Radio New Zealand that the idea of releasing
the source material behind the main areas of dispute came to
him yesterday.
"If people see the original documents themselves it will give
people reassurance."
Mr Hager said he wouldn't release all of the documents
because some of them were of a personal nature.
"A lot of it doesn't actually reach the standard of public
interest where there actually is a right to use it," he said.
He said he would be consulting with his source today.
Judith Collins told Newstalk ZB this morning that the
allegations the book makes that she assisted a prisoner
transfer for Mr Slater was an "utter lie... absolutely,
completely false."
She said "pretty much" all allegations about her in the book
were lies.
Mr Hager's book - based on thousands of messages between Mr
Slater, National Party spin doctor Jason Ede and others -
claims Mr Ede ran Mr Key's dirty tricks operations which were
kept at arms' length from the Prime Minister to avoid
damaging his image.
One of the allegations is that Mr Ede covertly accessed the
Labour Party's computer systems in mid-2011.
Mr Key yesterday told reporters in Dunedin yesterday that Mr
Ede was not involved.
