Whatever your opinion about the NSA's efforts to keep track of who is connecting with who via phones and the Internet, the fact is that the disclosures this week were against the law and journalists aided and abetted a government employee who was breaking the law. The information that was leaked was not some little plot coming from the Obama administration. This was the leak of secret laws passed by Congress and monitored by a secret court because the details are so valuable to terrorists. Denouncing the leaks and defending the technological practices was BI-PARTISAN. There are many ways to communicate on the web without using the nine giant corporations that we now know co-operate with the NSA and now the terrorists know to use them. There are phone companies other than Sprint, Verizon and AT&T that offer cell phone services and now the terrorists know to use only those. So, whatever you feel about what happened this week, it was a very good week for terrorists who are trying to plot attacks on US soil.

Okay, you know something? While the fact that it's being done bothers me immensely, I'm simply not going to worry about the phone spying thing. You know why? Because the Do Not Call list obviously doesn't stop half a dozen sales calls a week, half of all calls say "unavailable data" on caller ID anyway, and I've been getting calls from bill collectors looking for Margaret or Christine. I suppose I should offer AT&T some thanks for being so incompetent.

Ah lovely. You know how the Universe works, I hope. 1. On 23 May, I filmed the mighty Trojan Horse and the glorious Thumpermonkey. I lost the tiniest, newest piece of kit in my bag. An unused 32G Micro SD card. 2. Grant and Luis looked for this tiny needle in the giant haystack that is the theatre. 3. I waited a week and ordered a new one. (you know what happens next) 4. Luis found the old one and Grant mailed me the good news. 5. 20 minutes elapsed 6. The new one arrived in the post. It did not bear a sticker with the legend: "Ha Ha. You *** You fell for it again. Love, The Cosmos" But it should have. (I am very grateful to Luis and Grant, and you can never have enough memory, and the videos are looking awesome, and I realise the first-world nature of this so-called problem. But still).

"Finding a good man is like looking for a needle in a hay stack"
Good idea: Taking one's camera outside with the dogs to get sunrise-with-dewdrops-on-flower photos. Bad idea: Not eating breakfast first. (started to get shaky) Good idea: Checking the milk before pouring it on one's cereal. Bad idea: None, I checked the milk first. I can eat Cheerios dry without dying.

Jesse Ventura is pondering a run for the presidency. What could be better? There would be no wars. Jesse would just challenge the latest terrorist to a cage match.

With the advent of antituberculous chemotherapy and antibiotics, marked changes have been permitted in the surgical attack on tuberculosis. Whereas previously surgery had been limited to collapse procedures, now the residual tuberculous lesions are much more frequently excised. This progressive change in surgical methods is indeed a reflection of changing concepts.
It is the purpose of this paper to present our experience in the surgical treatment of tuberculosis over a five-year period. In particular, we wish to show the changing trends in the surgical approach, to outline the methods we use in evaluating patients, and to present our results in terms of morbidity and mortality.
The data in this report were compiled from the analysis of 1,041 consecutive surgical procedures performed for tuberculosis during the five-year period, commencing Jan. 1, 1954, at the Veterans Administration Hospital, Hines, Ill., and the Chicago State Tuberculosis Sanitarium, Chicago.

Deloitte's Chakravarty Says Inflation Still Above Comfort Level
Anis Chakravarty, an economist at Deloitte Haskins & Sells, comments on India's inflation rate. The wholesale-price index rose 9.11 percent in November from a year earlier after a 9.73 percent jump in October, the government said today. The median of 25 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey was for a 9.02 percent increase.
Chakravarty spoke in a phone interview.
"The central bank's policy making should address all its objectives in tandem and not any particular one in isolation. Inflation may have eased off a little but it is still well above policy makers' comfort level. We still have a long way to go to see inflation at 7 percent.
''I expect the central bank to pause on rates at the announcement the day after tomorrow.
''The manufacturing sector, specially the small and medium segment, is facing a sustained slowdown and from a policy perspective, that needs to be addressed. This slowdown may continue until the end of this fiscal year and the central bank may consider reversing the policy stance in the first quarter of the next fiscal year.''

Lucero On Mountain Stage
Listen Now: Lucero In Concert
Set List
- "Sounds of the City"
- "Nights Like These"
- "Can't Feel a Thing"
- "Goodbye Again"
- "Tears Don't Matter Much"
- "Mom"
The Memphis-based road warriors in Lucero have been traversing the country and playing gritty, countrified rock music for 13 years. The band's latest CD, 1372 Overton Park, was named after the band's longtime residence — and pays tribute, in part, to the city's rich musical heritage, employing horns and arrangements that evoke the Memphis sound.
Singer-songwriter Ben Nichols leads Lucero along with guitarist Brian Venable, Rich Steff on piano and organ, Roy Berry on drums, Johnny C. Stubblefield on bass and Todd Beene on pedal steel. Nichols responded to audience requests by saying, "We're on the radio; I gotta do a song for my mom," and finished up with the closing track from 1372 Overton Park, "Mom."
This segment originally ran April 26, 2010.

AbstractAspen Systems proposes to develop a small portable personal heat pump system that may be used by Air Force flight line maintenance and aircrew personnel to combat heat stress and cold weather exposure. Aspen Systems is uniquely qualified to develop a miniature personal heat pump. We have successfully designed, fabricated, tested, and licensed a small rotary compressor that literally fits in the palm of your hand. Our compressor weighs just over one pound and measures about 2" in diameter by 2.5" long. It is capable of providing up to 300 Watts (1024 Btu/h) of cooling in a 120°F ambient environment. The Phase I program successfully demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing our miniature compressor in a vapor compression heat pump system to provide an acceptable solution for personal heating and cooling in the USAF application. The primary objective of the proposed Phase II program is to optimize the system components while developing the base technology into a personal heating and cooling product that will be ready for production at the end of the Phase II program.

The big split is finally, final. Sony and Ericsson have finally spilt up, to name the new company Sony Mobile Communications. Sony has finally taken over Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson's 50-percent stake in the pair's former joint venture, reported to have cost €1.05 billion ($1.37 billion). The reports of this split started to appear in the last months of 2011.

Ericsson's gain on the transaction will be approximately SEK 7.5 billion and reported as 'Other operating income'

Hi all,
I have been playing with wordpress to use in my site. I have used Japanese language .mo file. I have tested the whole system in my computer (Windows XP, Apache 2, PHP5, MySQL4.1) and the blog runs fine. When I run it from my website (Apache 2, MySQL4.1, PHP4.3) I can see default (English) interface only. I tried to debug the problem by adding some 'echo' codes in wp-l10n.php file. In the load_textdomain function I found one different behavor between my local server and website. In my local machine the $l10n[$domain] variable shows 'Object id #70' whereas the remotely hosted site shows 'Object' only. What setting is causing this difference and is it the reason why the language extension is not functioning properly? Please help me!

After having her house broken into Friday, a Bedford woman is warning people about the men she believes committed the crime.
Beverly Stanley of Timber Ridge Road said a number of items were taken from her home Friday morning after two men knocked on doors in the area, asking for directions to Wal-Mart. She said if someone was home, the two men moved on. But she wasn't and her house was targeted as a result, she believes.
"They busted in my back door," she said.
Although Ernest Grubbs pleaded guilty, Friday, to five felony counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor, he was released from jail that evening.
On Monday, Dec. 17, a Jefferson Forest High School student, 15, was arrested for making a threat against another student who attends a school outside of Bedford County.
A 32-year-old man will spend 22 years in prison for the rape of an 11-year-old girl.
Last week Ernest Walter Davis, of Bedford, pleaded no contest to the charge in Bedford County circuit court.
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Wes Nance said that the rape occurred on Aug. 11, 2011. The girl had spent the night at the apartment of the grandmother of a friend. What the girl's family did not know is that the grandmother had a drinking problem.
An Evington woman, who pleaded guilty in September to 15 counts of embezzlement while working at Kroger, received a suspended sentence in the case during a hearing Friday in Bedford County Circuit Court.
All eight felony counts were dropped against Jennifer Elaine Johns; she was only found guilty of seven misdemeanor counts. She received six months on each conviction, for a total of 42 months, all of which was suspended.
The Bedford County Sheriff's Office is investigating the larceny of fuel oil from two county churches.
On Saturday, Dec. 1 Beaver Dam Baptist Church, 10665 Stewartsville Rd., reported fuel oil missing from the church's oil tank located behind the church. On Friday evening, a dark color F-150 Ford truck was seen in the area of the church, according to a release from the BCSO.
Baby Jesus was missing, but arrests in his theft were imminent Tuesday afternoon.
A crime stoppers tip had led investigators to as many as five suspects alleged to have been involved with taking figurines from a Nativity scene at a Forest church this week, according to Major Ricky Gardner of the Bedford County Sheriff's Office. Recovery of the figurines had not occurred, however.

A three-judge panel of the Virginia Court of Appeals has affirmed the first-degree murder conviction of Wesley Earnest.
Earnest, a former Bedford County teacher, was convicted in 2010 of killing his estranged wife, Jocelyn Earnest, and trying to make it look like a suicide.
Tuesday's decision by the three-judge panel upholds the life sentence that Earnest received for the crime which occurred at the couple's Forest home.
Dan Plattus pleaded no contest, last week in Bedford County Circuit Court, to a misdemeanor embezzlement charge, the result of his unauthorized use of a Bedford Main Street credit card for personal use.
The plea was the result of an agreement. A no contest plea means that a defendant does not admit guilt, but agrees that there is enough evidence to convict him.
Dennis Caldwell, 56, will spend 22 years in prison for shooting his brother, Glenn Caldwell, 62, and his nephew, Michael Caldwell, 36.
Dennis Caldwell had entered a no contest plea, on Aug. 15, to two counts of aggravated malicious wounding and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. The plea was entered one year to the day of the shootings. He had shot both men multiple times with a .45 cal. semiautomatic pistol.

Healthy Dinners: Low Fat, Big Flavor
Although healthy cooking has come a long way, there's still a nagging perception that if something is low-fat and nutritious, it's not going to taste good. Not true!

Love this recipe! The chicken for the filling comes out so yummy. I've made this recipe many times. I actually chop the onion from the cooking process in the filling. Adds to the moistness of the filling. Thanks for a great recipe!
My husband and I love this dish! We would give it 10 stars if possible. I made two small changes - instead of 2 types of cheeses I just used a mexican blend and instead of 2% milk I used skim. It tastes awesome you you would have no idea its a "light" recipe. The cilantro/tomatillo sauce thickens up to the perfect consistency and the inside of each enchilada is moist and delicious. At first I was a little concerned as i mixed up the tomatillo sauce since I've never made enchiladas with a green sauce but I am very glad i tried it!

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN insider on Whisenhunt: Shouldn't be fired, but might be
In less than two weeks from the time this article was written, the Arizona Cardinals' 2012 season will be over.
At that point the franchise will have some important decisions to make, not the least of which is what to do at head coach.
Do they keep Ken Whisenhunt, who in six seasons with the team has won a pair of NFC West titles and taken the Cardinals to the Super Bowl? Or do they fire a coach whose career record is 45-49, and has gone just 18-28 over the last three seasons?
They are the same guy, after all.
"The realization that [Whisenhunt's] entering the last year of his contract, when you start to do that then you start to say 'OK, is it time to do the extension,'" ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday. "And if they don't do the extension and they start to review things and look at this season there might very well be a change."
"I think it'd be a mistake because I think he's too good of a coach to let go, but I think you can understand the circumstances."

I got this question in one of the interviews I took. I started by explaining that it is like a set of rules that should be followed while moving resources around, but I did not feel convinced. Is there any other analogy or take on this question ?

One reasonable analogy might be speaking to someone on the phone. After all TCP/IP is very similar to phone call. So something along the lines of:
Although not entirely inaccurate, that sounds closer to a description of REST to me.
I would describe HTTP as a communication protocol, originally designed for Hypertext (hence the name) but extended over time to include any form of file (where the type is defined in the header).
I would also go on to explain that it is a request/response communication, rather than being completely bi-directional, and that the verb in the header is intended to describe an action to be performed, usually on a specified resource.
For a layman I would explain it as:
I don't know if any further details need to be provided unless asked.
I have to do this a fair amount due to the nature of the business I work for. There are some good short explanations listed already. But the beauty of HTTP is it is really understandable. So when I need to get more in depth than the short answers above, I typically fire up a browser, ask the user for a favorite site then fire up Fiddler or Firebug or whatever other http debugger is handy. Then we walk through requests and deconstruct HTTP while it is in action.

There are many great majors offered, and they each have fantastic faculty!
Any student can pursue any major, as long as he/she is enrolled in the correct college. Transferring from Pratt to Trinity or vice versa is fairly simple. While the major requirements themselves aren't bad, the Trinity requirements are pretty awful, considering the number of different types of courses you have to take to graduate.
While pre-med students don't necessarily have an easy life, Duke helps you do the best you can. I like the different opportunities that I have while being pre med, like majoring in something completely unrelated. There are a lot of opportunities for what ever you may want - internships, research, shadowing, jobs, etc.
The economics department at Duke is very strong. Great for landing internships.
So many companies come to recruit at Duke. I've had an internship every summer since matriculating and the opportunities Duke provides is amazing.

A Challenger for Finkbeiner (and he's pro-gay-rights)
A few weeks ago The Seattle Times ran an interesting story about Bill Finkbeiner, the moderate Republican state senator from the eastside who has been blamed for the one-vote defeat of the gay civil rights bill last year.
People get particularly incensed about Finkbeiner because he voted against the bill, ensuring its death for nearly the 30th year in a row, even though back when he was a Democrat, he twice voted for the bill. That strikes many as unprincipled flip-flopping and unnecessary, given that Finkbeiner's moderate district encompasses Redmond and Kirkland, is overwhelming pro-choice, and therefore is unlikely to boot him out of office for extending basic protections to homosexuals.
Gay rights groups vowed they would hold Finkbeiner responsible if the billwhich would specifically prohibit discrimination against homosexuals in housing, employment, and financial transactionsfailed to pass last year. Well, it failed to pass. And now, just a week before the new legislative session is set to open in Olympia, an eastside Democrat named Eric Oemig has announced he will challenge Finkbeiner in the upcoming November elections, and plans to hammer Finkbeiner for his flip-flopping on gay rights. A press release Oemig sent out today reads:
After 14 years, Finkbeiner still won't say how he will vote on civil rights bill 1515 if it comes up again this year. Previously, he has voted both for and against the bill.
"Let me be clear," said Oemig, "I will be happy to cast the deciding vote to ban this discrimination."
Whether the 38-year-old former Microsoft software engineer has any chance against Finkbeiner remains to be seen. But Oemig's announcement keeps the pressure on Finkbeiner to flip his position yet again and support the gay civil rights bill this session (as he has suggested he may do).
Did gay rights activists put Oemig up to this? No, he says. But he'd be happy to take their money to support his campaign.

Hot answers tagged pcmcia
They are not interchangeable. It is like comparing ISA to PCI cards. While they do have same purpose, connectors are not same.
There's Magma 1-Slot Cardbus to Half-Length PCI Expansion Unit and Magma 1-Slot Cardbus to Full-Length PCI Expansion Unit that will connect cardbus to a PCI housing, but at about $1000 it is NOT cheap. You could get a new PC with a PCI slot for less. Magma also offers a fiber to PCI expansion chassis, but I doubt that would be much cheaper and you'd have ...
I read the problem may be insufficient power. I'm assuming your 2.5" drive doesn't have an external power supply? If that's the case, your drive is relying on the PCMCIA USB port for data and power. Your PCMCIA card is to blame here, because it's not providing power to your drive. Possible solutions: You mentioned you have a Y-cable for USB. Plug one ...
I have looked for similar device and found some listed here Adapters. One issue we have found is that some cards have issue with the adapter and do not read properly. Mostly older 16 bit cards not cardbus
Cardsoft Services download and install the following program and copy all files to formatted floppy then follow these instructions 1. Boot to a DOS Prompt (C:\) and insert the PCMCIA or XP-PCM diskette into drive A:. 2. Type A: and press Enter. 3. Type Install and press Enter. 4. You will be given a prompt to press Esc to quit or any other key ...
Actually you have express card as an option as well. Internal wireless nics are a bit of a pain to change - you'll need to open up the system, locate the mini pci-e or PCI card (the system in question seems to have a mini PCI interface according to HP's specs, but the NIC you mentioned is mini PCI-E), replace it and hook in the antennae. Its doable if you ...
If you do not need to move around much you can combine an express card to PCI-e adapter and combine that with a common PCI express to PCMCIA adapter. The nice thing about this is that it is a very flexible solution, allowing you yo use common PCI-e cards (including PCI-e to PCMCIA, or even PCI-e graphics cards). The downside it that it is not very portable....
There are several USB-based PCMCIA adapters on the market. A quick google search for external pcmcia usb adapter turns up a number of them. Amtron seems to offer a number of USB-based readers, including this one which looks to support a number of different card types. There also seems to be some for dedicated purposes, like using 3G modem (see here)
When disabling the firewire-driver in Windows will this too disable firewire connected through a PCMCIA device?
It has been my experience that installing supported (no driver disk required) PCMCIA or Express Cards will load and bind the Firewire driver to the new hardware even if the driver was disabled for the built-in Firewire port. In Windows Server 2008/Vista and above you should be able to use Group Policy to disable devices by their type. MS TechNet info: http:...
"Through an USB charger I supplied power to the PCMCIA card" I'm not sure what you are meaning by this. Is this a power connector supplied with the card that pull power from a USB port or something you've obtained seperately? External drives sometimes need more power than is provided by a single standard USB port (up to 2.5W: 5V at up to 500mA), so if ...
That machine takes PCMCIA, but not cardbus. I believe that most compatible cards were 10baseT (certainly the one I had was). During the period when I kept my 190cs (same machine excepting that it was a 68LC040 instead of a PPC) and newer machines with 100baseT, I used a cheap switching hub to prevent it from slowing the rest of the network down. Two months ...
I had the same problem with my PCMCIA USB 2.0 card and my external 2,5" hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD is not detected when: both USB plugs from the HDD's Y-cable are in USB 2.0 ports of the PCMCIA card. It works fine when: one of the HDD's USB male plugs (the "data" one) is in the PCMCIA card and the other (the power "dummy") is in the laptop's original ...
If it's an ExpressCard then there is connectivity for PCI-E x1. You could in theory therefore take something like this PCI-E x1 9500GT card a make a homebrew adapter for it. (Or even use x8/x16 card with it: like this guy did). Slightly risky proposition really and I'm not sure it's worth it, but it might be a fun project and you'd probably get a slashdot ...
Locate the following key in regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pcmcia\Parameters Add a REG_DWORD named IrqRouteToPciController and assign a value of 8. Reboot and try PCMCIA again.
Before buying new kit, make sure that the problem isn't your cable or the VGA-in on the monitor. If you always connect other machines to it by DVI or HDMI then you'd not notice a deficiency in the analogue inputs normally. While the ghosting you describe could be caused by the laptop, it could also be due to the monitor's input or inadequate screening (or ...
You've probably done this already, but do you have the latest drivers for the PCMCIA card? This sounds like the kind of problem updating drivers can solve.
Have you tried updating the drivers first? If it's an older laptop (which it has to be to have PCMCIA) there are probably updates available that will improve performance.
well, using a usb port means you have one less port ). In general in real world conditions, the performance difference isn't that huge, so i don't think there's a huge advantage between the two
There are express card that adds firewire. You can see one there for exemple : http://www.sonnettech.com/product/fwusbexpresscard34.html
Not an answer to your question, as it has already been answered. But try replacing xfce with something lighter like fluxbox. XFCE has gotten bulkier and bulkier over time and isn't the best choice for ultra-lightweight systems anymore unfortunately.
I tend to lean this way a little too much, but it has solved my wireless problems many times... try installing the linux backports modules for your version of ubuntu: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty replace jaunty with your version.

Joe Mauer signs 8-year/$184 million contract extension to stay with Twins
Take a breath through your nose -- hold it -- and exhale . . .
Ending years of stressful speculation that Joe Mauer may entertain offers on the open market post the expiration of his current, four-year/$33 million contract, the St. Paul native and reigning
A.L. MVP ended speculation of leaving his home state with the announcement of his new eight-year/$184 million contract extension to stay with the Twins through 2018.
The signing will be made official at a press conference tonight at 6 p.m. (Central) in Fort Myers, and will be broadcast live on Fox Sports North. The contact -- the fourth-largest in baseball history -- will play the catcher $23 million annually and includes a full no-trade clause.
The deal is both the richest (and longest) in Twins history, readily usurping the 6 year/$80 million deal signed by 2006 MVP and former Mauer roomie, Justin Morneau back in January of '08. In addition, Mauer's deal marks the greatest sum ever paid to a catcher in the history of Major League Baseball, surpassing the 7 year/$91 million contract Mike Piazza inked with the Mets prior to the 1999 season. The average payout of $23 mil per season also betters the active positional-record of $13.1 million currently cashed in by Yankee catcher, Jorge Posada and is the longest current contact among players at his position, besting the six-year deal signed by Brave backstop Brain McCann in 2006. Another note of Midwest monument: the Mauer deal is also the largest contract in the history of Minnesota sport, beating out the $126 million contract that Kevin Garnett signed with T-wolves from 1999-2005.
With his MVP, the Twins' catcher became the fifth Twin to win the award, following the accomplishments of Zoilo Versalles (1965), Harmon Killebrew (1969), Rod Carew (1977) and former Mauer roomie Justin Morneau (2006). The MVP made Mauer just the second Minnesota-born athlete to be named MVP since the accolade's inception in 1911. The first was Roger Maris, the 1960 and 1961 AL MVP, who was born in Hibbing and moved to Fargo, N.D. at the age of 10.
Mauer concluded '09 with what many' a scribe consider to be the finest offensive season ever for a catcher. Along with owning the A.L.'s highest slugging (.587) and on-base percentage
(.444), he won his third batting title in four years, becoming the first catcher in the history of hardball to thrice claim a batting crown. Adding to the accolades, Mauer's .365 batting clip ousted Piazza's .362 mark of 1997 to stand as the highest batting average ever attainted by a player at his position. Some consider Babe Phelps' .367 clip with the Brooklyn Dodgers to be the highest, however Phelps' caught just 64 percent of his team's 154 games and had 7 fewer games behind the plate than teammate, Ray Berres. Prior to his MVP, Mauer also won his third Silver Slugger Award and second Gold Glove. In June, he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated for the second time in his illustrious, six year career.
Amidst the feverish anticipation of the Twins' Golden Anniversary year that presents a new ballpark, a cache of celebrated off-season additions and a club coming off a Central Division title -- the cloud of the Mauer contract situation had served (prior to Joe Nathan season-ending injury) as a solitary sobriety hanging around the party that is our return to outdoor baseball. While few believed that Mauer would ever leave the Twin Cities, the blemish of uncertainty no doubt festered with the onset of Spring Training and the approach of Opening Day.
To add a small measure of mixer to this elixir, however, it is worthy of note to reprint this nugget unearthed via the fine Strib baseball bard Joe Christensen in his late-November column from last year:
"Choosing to pay Mauer and a good supporting cast will be difficult even if the Twins push their payroll to $100 million by 2011. Only one team in baseball history has won the World Series with one player making 20 percent of the payroll -- the 2003 Marlins with catcher Ivan Rodriguez.
In 2007, the Rockies made the World Series despite having Todd Helton eat up 30 percent of their payroll. But Colorado had tried trading Helton to the Red Sox, hoping to unload his $141.5 million contract."
Can the Twins help to bruise that stat? Perhaps. But making the Series is usually as much about timing as it is about talent -- and the Twins can now coolly enjoy the latter in unfettered abundance.
Would Mauer have received, say, $30 million a season from the Yankees or Red Sox? Perhaps. But now we won't know, and won't ever have to suffer the bidding war that surely would have occurred should the catcher have waded into the waters of the open market.
Of course, I can't reasonably project any lament Mauer would have felt suiting up elsewhere -- but I do believe I can offer with lucid certainty that seeing Joe Mauer in Pinstripes or behind the dish at Fenway would have socked our T.C. in the gut for time immemorial. It would have served as a sporting sacrilege similar in gravity to watching Wayne Gretzky skate in Los Angeles or seeing Michael Jordan hoop with the Wizards.
But now we don't have to sweat those horrifying hypotheticals, nor endure unquestioned anguish that would have come with seeing Mauer play in Target Field donning another jersey.
Now, we can just enjoy the progression of what may be the finest catcher in the history of baseball, and watch the greatness ensue.

Chemoresistance represents a major obstacle to successful treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) is known to be frequently upregulated in many cancers. We aimed to determine the biological function of ADAM10 in the chemoresistance of HCC cells. Overexpression of ADAM10 in three HCC cell lines (HepG2, Hep3B, and Huh7) conferred protection against doxorubicin-induced apoptosis, as determined by Annexin V staining. Western blot analysis revealed that ADAM10-overexpressing cells had a significantly lower amount of cleaved caspase-3 and an elevated expression of myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1), a prosurvival member of the Bcl-2 family. Conversely, RNA interference-mediated silencing of endogenous ADAM10 potentiated doxorubicin-induced apoptosis in HepG2 and Hep3B cells, which was coupled with increased cleavage of caspase-3 and decreased expression of Mcl-1. Ectopic expression of ADAM10 resulted in a marked increase in the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) and Akt. Most interestingly, the pretreatment with the PI3-K inhibitor LY294002 significantly enhanced doxorubicin-induced apoptosis and diminished the Mcl-1 expression in ADAM10-overexpressing Huh7 cells. Our data provide evidence that ADAM10 plays an important role in modulating the chemosensitivity of HCC cells, which, at least partially, involves the activation of the PI3-K/Akt pathway. ADAM10 may be a promising target for the improvement of chemotherapeutic efficacy in HCC.

Expecting Twins: Common Work Concerns
In this article
If you work outside the home and are planning to go back to work after having your twins, there's a lot of planning and organizing that you should do before going out on maternity leave.
Work concerns to think about include:
Planning for Maternity Leave
By law, all U.S. companies that employ 50 or more people must offer women expecting a baby at least 12 weeks of maternity leave -- but that time is not required to be paid.
Only 8% of companies in the U.S. offer any sort of paid maternity leave, which means it's likely that you will either be going back to work before you really feel ready, or you'll be taking unpaid leave. As soon as you get pregnant -- or even when you're just planning a pregnancy -- it's a good idea to start researching your employer's policies.
Some women take a little time off before the baby is born to prepare; others literally wait until their water breaks to go on leave, reasoning that they want to use every minute of their allotted leave with their new baby.
You should also talk with your partner about the leave he or she gets, if any. Do you want your partner to take time off while you're first home with the twins, to help you adjust, or would you rather he or she take leave afteryou return to work, delaying (if only by a couple of weeks) the need for outside child care?
Talk to Your Employer
In addition to official maternity leave, you may be able to cobble together more time with your babies using vacation, sick leave, disability, or other days. Ask what's allowed.
You can also ask your employer about options for when you come back that might give you more time with your babies, such as:
- Flexible hours (perhaps you can come back part-time at first)
- Work from home options
- Job sharing
If you have any trusted colleagues at the same company who have already gone through maternity leave there, it's a good idea to ask for their advice as to how they managed, what worked for them, and what they wish they'd done differently.

Solve using the multiplication principle. Don't forget to check!
5y = 45
Solve using the multiplication principle. Don't forget to check!
5y = 45
We have to find by what number we should multiply each side of the equation in order to isolate x on the left side. Remember not to actually solve.
To isolate x, we use multiplication property of equality. Multiplication property of equality states that "If A, B, and C(C 0) represent real numbers, then the equations A = B and AC = BC are equivalent equations.
Hence we can multiply each side of an equation by the same nonzero number without changing the solution.
In practice, it is easier to multiply on each side if the coefficient of the variable is a fraction, and divide on each side if the coefficient is an integer or a decimal.
Here the coefficient is a fraction and hence multiply. Therefore to isolate x, we multiply each side by , the reciprocal of .

Caprese Mac and Cheese
Serving Size 4
Prep Time
Total Time
I've added tomato slices to my mac and cheese for a really long time and wanted to amp it up a notch, and since I have a big batch of homemade basil pesto in the fridge I thought it a good idea to add a few dollops. And it was! It was also clear that I was on the path to Caprese deliciousness and decided to add some milky, luscious fior di latte which turned this mac and cheese into something rather special. All in all, this is a fabulous mac and cheese which is great for weeknight dinners but also something I will happily serve to guests.
- 7 Tbsp butter
- 0.5 cup flour
- 4 cup milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 0.5 onion
- 5 black peppercorns
- pinch of nutmeg
- 5.33 Ounce Gruyère cheese/other strong, mature cheese, grated
- salt, to taste
- white pepper, to taste
- Warm milk with bay leaf, onion and black peppercorns.
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan then add the flour and whisk to make a roux.
- Slowly whisk in the milk until it has been fully incorporated.
- Turn the heat down, add the nutmeg and allow the sauce to simmer gently for 10 minutes.
- Turn down the heat then add the cheese, salt and pepper and stir until the cheese has melted.
- Mix the sauce with the pasta and add a little of the cooking water should the sauce be too thick.
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°c (392°F).
- 14 Ounce can whole peeled tomato
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 17.5 Ounce pasta of your choice (I used a spiral shaped tube), cooked + 1 cup of cooking water reserved
- 8 ripe tomatoes, sliced into ½ cm slices
- 0.5 cup basil pesto
- 5.33 Ounce fior di latte (or other mozzarella of your choice)
