Bank customer Brian Packham has been offered £300 after complaining his branch manager called him a racist.
Brian, 76, was shocked when he visited his local Lloyds Bank to query a missing payment.
He says the Asian woman manager asked him, "Do you have a problem dealing with Asian people?" before allegedly saying: "You're a racist, aren't you. I can tell just by looking."
Brian, who ran pubs, restaurants and hotels for 37 years before he was forced to retire with bowel cancer, says the £300 offer from Lloyds is derisory and he wants an apology.
He said: "When she said it I was totally shocked. It was humiliating. I'd done absolutely nothing to give her that impression.
"The fact she was Asian doesn't bother me one bit. I now feel uneasy in front of Asian people because of this.
"I worked as a publican for almost 40 years and always treated everyone fairly and with respect, no matter what background they were from."
The grandad-of-five went into his local branch in Oadby, Leics, after a regular standing order had not arrived in the account.
A cashier blamed his former bank HSBC which he had moved the account from weeks earlier.
But when he went to HSBC they gave him proof that his details had been successfully transferred. After speaking to the same Lloyds cashier he asked to see a customer services rep.
After waiting almost 40 minutes he was taken to the manager's office where he was allegedly asked if he had a problem with Asian people.
Taken aback, he says he replied that he didn't and he couldn't understand why she would ask. Brian says that during the meeting other staff interrupted.
He said: "I couldn't understand where the first question came from, then people kept walking in.
"I said to her, 'What's the issue?' and she replied, 'One of my friends has just gone by the office and wanted to make sure there was no problem and I was safe'. I was confused and asked, 'Why would you be unsafe?' but she said, 'Err, err' and brushed off the comment."
After a second interruption Brian said he wanted to leave.
The manager told him the door was security-locked and he wouldn't be able to open it. She is then said to have told him: "You are a racist, aren't you."
Brian's solicitors complained to Lloyds head office and the Financial Ombudsman Service.
The ombudsman said he should be paid £300 compensation, with a separate payment of £52 for the standing order.
But Brian said: "I wouldn't settle for a derisory sum like £300. It's about dignity. I want an apology in writing."
Lloyds said: "We completed a full investigation into Mr Packham's complaint and his case was referred to the Financial Ombudsman who agreed with our approach and resolution."

Hi folks, I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to resolve this situation. Following Matt's email and the WPAU notification, I started the upgrade to 3.0.4. Made it to the very last step where you check in another tab whether the database needs updating. It did not. Then I clicked on "click here for the final step", etc. Pretty routine, happens always.
Then I get this:
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_feed_permastruct() on a non-object in /home1/apublic1/public_html/wp-includes/link-template.php on line 429
The site worked fine on 3.0.3 up until I was completing the upgrade. No new plugins installed between the upgrade commencing and the fatal error. Usually I'd try and uninstall the last installed plugin or go through and deactivate them one by one, but without any admin access, I don't want to start willy-nilly FTP deleting plugins that I use.
Any suggestions?

Cyber Monday – The Biggest Online Shopping Day 0
The sale fever has not yet subsided after Black Friday as it continues on to the biggest day for online retailers – Cyber Monday. It was a direct offshoot of the observed increase in online purchases on Monday after Thanksgiving. Essentially a marketing term to encourage online shopping, Cyber Monday was first heard by the American market in 2005. There are at least seven countries who are known to observe this day including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany, New Zealand, and Chile.
What is particularly exciting about this day is the chance to get hold of extraordinary deals for Xbox games which we wouldn't normally see at other times of the year. The considerably slashed prices are enough to make any gamer head for the nearest store even if it means falling behind extremely long lines. Fortunately, consumers can get hold of the same deals if not better, through online shopping.
Retailers are bent on pushing out the best promotions today hoping to make use of the momentum created by Black Friday. Active online shoppers are either hoping to finish their gift-buying early or taking advantage of being able to shop away from the eyes of the usual recipients which of course includes family and friends. The ability to shop from any location, whether at home or at work, can be too tempting to pass up.
Online shopping platforms are all out in their efforts to make online shopping as smooth as possible without the usual glitches associated with online transactions and inconvenience of shopping offline. With almost everybody having broadband access, consumers are discovering the wonders of the so-called couch-commerce where buyers need need stand up and go out to buy something they like. For most gamers, it is another excuse for uninterrupted gaming.

Retired from the computer industry. Did most things guys do when they retire. We moved out of our home of 27 years. Ran out of things to do a couple of years ago. Started surf porn when my wife wasn't looking. Got tired of the usual stuff and found Lush and some other sites like it. Decide to give writing erotica a go. I am married. It has been over forty years and still counting. Only bad thing right now is that we live in a very very Rural Area. No good High speed options are available here, just dial-up. So be patient with me when communicating. Also, don't be discourage if I don't add you as a friend right off. I need to know someone before adding them as to my list of friends.In the past I've been a over the road semi-driver, printing press operator in a burlap bag factory, Radio DJ, Stockman at GE, worked in a Drug Store, ran a broach at Dana, worked PT at Sears during collegeLikes: I really like tasteful B&W images the best. The kind Ansel Adams would have done if he had done nudes. Single malts and twizzlers. Not together though.Dislikes: Exercising in a gym. I have too much to do here to drive 14 miles to the Y to work up a sweat. I rather go out into the woods or find something to do in my shop. For now, here at Lush, just a few. YouTube vids wont show well my computer, so please don't post them. Please no PNG files. Images that are unnecessarily large. 640 by 480 is more than adequate to convey an idea.PS: That's not me in the Avatar. I'm old, but not that old.....

If you don't mind I'd like to chime in in favor of the Nikon as well. Recently purchased a D3200. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the two other ( D5100 or the D5200 ), but it has the same resolution. About 24 mega-pixels. That's approaching a good 35mm resolution at about 200 ASA. The reason I bought it instead of the other units is a lot of people don't use all the features anyway. And if you have to change the settings it's difficult in bright sun light if you have to use the menu. Most of the operating mode changes can be done externally on the Nikon using the dial on top.The pricing of the camera helped too. Nikon now has D3300 and D5300 out now and you can get the D3200 and D5200 for a pretty good price. Some deals with 2 lenses and a camera bag.I still wish I had a little more control. Like I had on my older 35MM SLR, but I most go with the times.Whatever you choose, there are bargains to be had if you don't mind looking and being patient...... <img src="/forum/images/emoticons/my2cents.gif" alt="My 2 cents"> Good LuckNote - This picture was over 6000X4000 - it's 640x425 here https://upload.lushstories.com/994457832-Fall-2014_083.jpg

Polk claims WHC title
Published: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 at 11:46 p.m.
COLUMBUS On Monday, the pressure was on Polk Countys baseball team at The Den against Hendersonville. It needed a win to at least share the Western Highlands Conference title with Owen.
The Wolverines won, but they werent about to share anything.
On Tuesday at its home diamond, Polk went down early 4-0 but fought back with three-run homers from Matt Brody and J.P. Ruth to outscore the Bearcats 15-1 to claim its first outright conference title.
This feels a lot different than it did in 2007 when we shared the title with Owen. This is a very good feeling, and my guys deserve it. Theyve worked hard for it, Wolverine coach Ty Stott said.
After going down early to the Bearcats (8-12, 7-5), Polk (17-4, 11-1) came alive, scoring three runs in five straight innings.
Our bats just came to life today, and thats because the guys just wanted it more. Our No. 1 goal was to get the top seed in the conference for the playoffs, but our big No. 1 goal was to win the conference outright, Stott said.
It was the third league title for Polk, which shared the conference crown in 2000 and 2007.
The Wolverines got three runs in the first with a Justin Harris RBI single, scoring Danny Fraga, who reached on a triple, from third. Two more runs scored after a throwing error, cutting the Bearcat lead to 4-3.
Ruth then ripped his three-run shot in the second, and Brody, in his first varsity start, connected on a three-run homer in third off HHS starter Wesley Cook, making it 9-4.
Lucas Cash then had a two-run double in the fourth, and Patrick Kelley followed with an RBI single, putting Polk up 12-4.
Hendersonville, which had four runs off a hit, an error and a balk in the first, got another run in the fifth when Cook scored from third on a fielders choice by Wes Merrill.
In the bottom half of the inning, Cash got the two runs Polk needed to cut the game to five innings by the 10-run mercy rule. He knocked a two-run double to the wall, and the final Wolverine run was by Ruth, who slid in at the plate to beat the tag.
You cant coach that slide, Stott said. If you did coach that all the time, youd have a bunch of kids out.
For Polk, Ruth was 3-for-3 with three RBIs, Cash was 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs, and Harris was 3-for-4.
The Wolverines will host an opponent to be determined in Fridays first round of the state playoffs, and the Bearcats, who will carry the WHCs second seed, will likely host Rosman in Fridays first round.
We just made too many mistakes today, Hendersonville coach Mark Cook said. We are a better team than that, so well just have to strap it up and get back after it Friday.
HHS:;4 0 0;0 1 x;x;;5;4;5
Polk:;3 3 3;3 3 x;x;;15;14;2
Winning pitcher: Danny Fraga (3-1) (6.2 IP, 1 R, 0 ER, 4 H, 4 Ks, 3 BBs)
Losing pitcher: Wesley Cook (4-4) (3.1 IP, 12 R, 9 ER, 10 H, 2 Ks, 3 BBs, 1 HBP)

The Supreme Court Just Clarified Rules for Modern Power Regulation…Or Did It?Tuesday, January 26, 2016
Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government is empowered to regulate wholesale demand response, or targeted reductions in electricity use by consumers in response to peak demand. The ruling, in Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) v. Electric Power Supply Association (EPSA), has been hailed by a broad coalition comprising environmental activists, regulators, and companies, because demand response can reduce rates and ease strain on the grid.

Pfizer Sets CEO Read's Salary, Bonus at $4.29 Million
Pfizer Inc. said it set the annual base salary and target bonus of Chief Executive Officer Ian Read at $4.29 million, with additional payments in stock, options and long-term incentive awards to be disclosed in March.
Read, named CEO on Dec. 5, was previously head of Pfizer's global pharmaceutical operations responsible for 85 percent of company revenue. He will see a base salary increase of 40 percent, to $1.7 million from $1.21 million, the company said in a filing. His bonus target more than doubled to $2.59 million, from $1.16 million.
Read's compensation figures don't include stock, options and long-term incentive pay, which will be disclosed in the next proxy statement, typically filed in March, said Joan Campion, a spokeswoman for New York-based Pfizer. Read, a 32-year veteran of the company, received compensation valued at $9.45 million in 2009, the most recent year for which total awards have been included in regulatory filings.
Over the next five years, Pfizer faces generic competition to products with $20 billion in annual sales, or almost a third of the company's revenue. Pfizer is eliminating jobs and reducing costs as it absorbs the $68 billion acquisition of Wyeth last year. Pfizer's former CEO, Jeffrey Kindler, will receive about $9.6 million in severance, bonus and short-term incentive pay for 2010.

All QTKit examples use seconds for making ranges. I, unfortunately, have frame numbers and need to be frame accurate. I suppose I could multiply up by the frame rate if I could figure out how to get that out of my movie.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You should be able to calculate the frame rate of a given video media by querying the following
(they are described in the QTKit docs here)
and use the following formula for calculation:
Note that I have not tried if this works, but that it is how I expect it to work based on my experience the QuickTime C APIs and the QuickTime File Format.
Good Luck!
Multiplying by the frame rate is not frame accurate because many of the file containers and codecs that Quicktime uses make use of variable frame rates to get better compression. You'll notice this in any kind of movie that has freezes frame for any length of time. See macbreak's The Road to 1080p, part1 as an example.
You can do frame accurate ranges with the QTMovie methods frameStartTime:atTime and frameEndTime:atTime introduced in OSX 10.6. These will give you the start and end of a frame respectively without doing frame decoding.
For example to count all the frames in a movie:

Hello All,
I've written a short article on Squidoo.com that explains some of the basics of WordPress and why I think it rocks.
The article has several good links to the various resources around the net, most of the "big players" that devote a lot of time and energy to the WP community.
Check it out if you get time and leave some feedback telling me what you think and if I should add anything.
Here's the link Why WordPress Rocks
PS - I'm not posting this to get "google juice" or anything like that, just thought people may want to check it out.

The Last Forever (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Beginnings and endings overlap in this soaring novel of love and loss from bestselling author and National Book Award finalist Deb Caletti.
Nothing lasts forever, and no one gets that more than Tessa. After her mother died, it's all she can do to keep her friends, her boyfriend, her happiness from slipping away. And then there's her dad. He's stuck in his own daze, and it's hard to feel like a family when their house no longer seems like a home.
Her father's solution? An impromptu road trip that lands them in a small coastal town. Despite all the beauty there, Tessa can't help but feel even more lost. Her most cherished possession--a rare plant of her mother's--is starting to wither, and with it, Tessa's heart and her hope.
Enter Henry Lark. He understands the relationships that matter. And more important, he understands her. Though secrets stand between them, each has a chance at healing...if first, Tessa can find the courage to believe in forever.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Stonington - The town has reached a tentative settlement with a part-time Lords Point couple who sued the town after former Zoning Enforcement Officer Joe Larkin told them they could build a house on a lot they were considering buying but then reversed his decision after they made the purchase.
The town also would not approve their plans to replace their current home at 57 Boulder Ave. so it would comply with updated flood and other code requirements.
The Board of Selectmen approved the settlement with Carol Holt and Thompson Wyper on Wednesday night. The town will not have to pay any damages and Holt and Wyper will drop their four lawsuits against the town. The Zoning Board of Appeals has to approve the settlement.
The ZBA will issue a variance to the couple and the town will allow them to file for permits to rebuild their home using 2005 regulations.
The ZBA will issue another variance and the couple will also be allowed to reverse the original transfer of a 1,000-foot-square-foot strip of land from the vacant lot at Boulder Avenue and Hampton Street to the house lot so the vacant lot would be deemed a preexisting nonconforming lot. This would allow the couple to build the house for which Larkin would not issue a permit.
A judge had earlier ruled the town could not deny the couple the permit because they had relied on Larkin's original opinion when buying the .16-acre lot in 2005 for $140,000. The town had appealed that ruling.
Holt, whose family lives in California much of the year, declined to say Thursday how much she had expended in legal fees. She said no decision had been made about either of the building projects.
Sixteen months ago, the town's insurance company had expended $200,000 in legal fees on the issue.

Hunter Information
Check above for WIA status updates and closures.
Walk-In Access sites are open during any legal hunting season from Sept. 1 to May 31.
You must purchase a WIA Validation to legally hunt WIA Sites.
Purchase Online or call: 1-888-665-4236 (ELS CODE 190)
Landowners cannot give others permission to hunt without a validation.
Hunters must:
- Respect private property and verify public hunting areas by observing boundary signs.
Walk-In Access sites (WIA) are only open to hunting where WIA boundaries are posted with WIA signs. Landowners may opt out of the program, and will be reflected in the Online Atlas and the WIA County Interactive Map.
- Park along roads or in designated parking areas.
- Walk-in to hunt on enrolled acres. No vehicle traffic is allowed.
"No target practice, trapping, dog training, camping, horseback riding or fires are allowed by the public. The landowner retains the right to engage in, or give permission to engage in hiking/dog walking on a leash, trapping, camping, horseback riding, or campfires, and other limited activities that do not impede public hunting."
Read Trapping FAQ for more information about trapping.
- Follow the Code of Conduct for WIA lands.
(Alternative versions: Español, Hmong)
Find a WIA
Choose a county below to bring up detailed maps of WIAs.
Mapping tools
Note: All WIA map and GPS products should be used as a reference only to the official boundary of public hunting lands posted in the field. Hunters should not rely on printed hunting atlases or downloaded digital map products from previous years as there are often changes to WIA boundaries including site closures and new sites added. Note that access points to some WIA sites are limited as identified by WIA trail symbols and text explanations included on maps provided on these pages.
Eligible Lands
Enrollment is limited to 35 counties.
Hunting is allowed during legal seasons between September 1st and May 31st.
Landowners are afforded liability protection through the Recreational Use Statutes. Specifically under Sections 604A.20 through 604A.27 under Public Benefit or Function Activities in the CIVIL LIABILITY LIMITATIONS Chapter
Must be at least 40 acres in size or it must be contiguous with a public hunting unit (e.g. WPA or WMA) or another WIA parcel that is 40 acres or more in size.
Priority is given to lands enrolled in a conservation program such as the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or the state Reinvest in Minnesota Reserve program (RIM), or other state and federal conservation programs.
Lands not enrolled in a conservation program may be eligible if high quality wildlife cover exists and is maintained by the landowner.
Lands within 500 feet of a home or corral occupied by livestock cannot be enrolled, unless they are occupied by the cooperator or his/her livestock.
The enrolled parcel must be accessible from a public road.
The habitat must be maintained through the enrollment period.
Landowners, or the State, may terminate the contract at any time (effective 30 days after written notice of termination is received).
2015 Enrollment begins March 1st.
To find out more information about enrolling land in the Walk-In Access program, please call your local Soil and Water Conservation District office (SWCD). SWCD contact info
Program Info
The goal of the Walk-In Access (WIA) program is to provide new hunting opportunities on private land that is already enrolled in existing conservation programs or lands with high quality wildlife cover.
The WIA program is entirely voluntary for landowners. Most landowners chose to enroll their property for two or three years. Enrolled lands are covered under the Minnesota recreational use laws that limit landowners' liability. DNR conservation officers handle trespass and hunting violations.
WIA started in 2011 as a two-year pilot program funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Voluntary Public Access Program.
In 2015, a $1.67 million grant was awarded to the Minnesota's Walk-In Access program from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP) authorized in the 2014 Farm Bill. Hunters will continue to have access to the existing 22,000 acres of WIA land, and an additional 8,000 acres will be added over the next three years.
Read news release.
The DNR continues to seek permanent funding to continue the program in 2015 and beyond.
WIA 2015 Stats:
|Total Enrollments as of 7/31/15
|22, 800
Minnesota's Walk-In Access Program is Established in Law
The 2012 Minnesota Legislature established a Walk-In Access (WIA) Program (Minnesota Statutes 97A.126) to provide public access to wildlife habitat on private land for hunting, excluding trapping.
Hunter's support
Walk-In Access Hunting's future depends, in part, on financial donations from individuals and organizations.
When hunters purchase a small game or deer license they will be asked if they would like to donate $1, $3 or $5 to help fund the Walk-In Access Program. Buy a license online.

WIA Site Status Changes
This page provides current status for Walk-In Access sites that have either been added to or removed from the program after the printed version of the atlas was released OR are effected by emergency grazing/haying, prescribed management, and upgrade/cover disturbances.
Both the online version of the WIA Atlas and the online WIA tile sheets have been updated to reflect these status changes in the table below. The list below will be updated as needed throughout the season. Changes to a site's status will be posted as soon as DNR staff are informed of changes by County SWCD staff.
Status indicators include:
Open - WIA site is open to hunting but was not included on the printed atlas.
Closed - WIA site is closed to hunting because the WIA contract has been terminated OR activities to improve the wildlife cover are taking place, but is still on the printed atlas.
Grazed or Hayed - Landowners for these WIA sites has indicated they MAY utilize emergency haying or grazing activities, or the cover has changed on a portion of the site.
Prescribed Management - Landowners with lands enrolled in a conservation program, such as CRP or RIM Reserve, have carried out required management activities to improve or maintain the quality of the vegetative cover. These sites may be clipped, hayed, or burned.
Cover Upgrade/Disturbance - Landowners enrolled in a conservation program are sometimes required to upgrade the cover. These sites may be tilled or have sparse vegetative cover.
Restricted - WIA site has some restrictions.

The response of midlatitude storms to global warming remains uncertain. This is due, in part, to the competing effects of a weaker meridional surface temperature gradient and a higher low-level moisture content, both of which are projected to occur as a consequence of increasing greenhouse gases. Here we address the latter of these two effects, and try to elucidate the effect of increased moisture on the development and evolution of midlatitude storms. We do this with a set of highly controlled, baroclinic lifecycle experiments, in which atmospheric moisture is progressively increased. To assess the robustness of the results, the moisture content is changed in two different ways: first by using different initial relative humidity, and second by varying a parameter that we insert into the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The latter method allows us to artificially increase the moisture content above current levels while keeping the relative humidity constant. Irrespective of how moisture is altered, we find that nearly all important measures of storm strength increase as the moisture content rises. Specifically, we examine the storm's central pressure minimum, the strongest surface winds, and both extreme and accumulated precipitation rates. For all these metrics, increased moisture yields a stronger storm. Interestingly, we also find that when moisture is increased beyond current levels, the resulting storm has a reduced horizontal scale while its vertical extent increases. Finally, we note that for moisture increases comparable to those projected to occur by the end of the twentyfirst century, the actual amplitude of the increases in storm strength is relatively modest, irrespective of the specific measure one uses.

Amsterdam Transportation Tips by OlafS
Amsterdam Transportation: 875 reviews and 1,064 photos
Most RecentBest Rated
- 1
Amsterdam has quite a big centre, but most of the places the average (and even not-so average) tourists will want to go to are within walking distance from each other. You can use public transport, but if you stay in the centre in many cases you might as well walk. I don't recommend renting a bike if you're not used to riding in a crowded city; Amsterdam is a mess! Only rent a bike when you want to see something of the surrounding area.
Mode: AROUND
Type: Other
Going to Amsterdam by car? Yes, it can be done. Only make sure you don't get into the centre with your vehicle. Once you're in it may take you hours to get out again, if you don't know your way around. And don't even try to find a parking place. For 5,50 euros you can park your car in the Amsterdam Arena parking garage, next to the football stadium. You can leave it there for 24 hours. Then go to the information post and ask for the cheaper public transport rate. They will give you up to two tickets that allow you to use public transport to the centre and back. Use these tickets properly (it's hardly any use staying in this part of the city anyway, unless you want to see the Ajax footballmuseum *YAWN* ) otherwise you will pay 14,50 euros.

During development of the nervous system the response of growing axons to their environment is critical to the formation of the complex wiring pattern between neurons. Growth and guidance factors combined with extracellular matrices influence the speed and direction of axonal growth. Although much progress has been made in identifying the factors that influence axonal growth, as well as how axons respond to these factors individually, much less is known about how axons behave in response to the combined effects of multiple factors. To fully understand how axonal growth is regulated ideally this should be studied in vivo. The ability to express fluorescent protein markers in neurons has made such an approach possible. However, it is still limited by a variety of factors. Imaging individual live axons deep in brain tissue is still restricted to layers less than 600 microns. Phototoxicity limits the time lengths of such observations. More importantly, the environment is difficult to characterize or control.
As a complementary approach, we are developing in vitro environments that potentially mimic some of the complexity found in vivo, in particular the development of the anterior visual pathway. In this system, the axon trajectories are simple, multiple relevant guidance molecules have been identified already (many tested with explants in vitro), and a common cause of blindness (Optic Nerve Hypoplasia) is associated with defects in this process. Additionally, the patterns of guidance molecules found on the flat anatomy of the retina is ideally suited to mimicking by micropatterning and microfluidics techniques. This mimicry is accomplished by combining microfluidics patterning of diffusible gradients and substrate patterning of axon pathfinding cues, including axon guidance factors and extracellular matrix molecules. As a source of highly homogeneous cell populations, we use isolated mouse retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), a cell type that responds to Netrin-1 gradients. For experiments designed to maximize the integrity of the cells (isolation procedures are damaging to cells), we will use retinal explants and we microfluidically isolate the axons from their somas. RGCs (or their axons) are exposed to various soluble factors that have previously been shown to affect their axon growth in vivo. Combinatorial microfluidic mixers allow us to test the effects of multiple factors on the direction and speed of axonal growth of RGCs. These experiments allow us to quantitatively examine the basic principles that govern axon pathfinding in the development of the anterior visual pathway and help to better understand the basis of developmental defects in axon growth that alter the organization and function of the nervous system.

Despite decades of intensive research and clinical trials, glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains uniformly lethal within 12-16 months of diagnosis. This grim reality reflects the marginal effectiveness of current treatments that are applied generically to GBM patients without consideration of the enormous impact of individual variations in tumor phenotypes. The most commonly proposed screening methods for GBM utilize isolated tumor cell cultures or patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). However, cultured tumor cells do not retain phenotypic heterogeneity or interactions with the tumor microenvironment, both critical factors in treatment response and resistance. In contrast, while PDX models retain these features, they are cumbersome and expensive. Critically, variable and lengthy lead times for growth make it impractical for PDX testing to inform on a timescale rapid enough to guide decisions for patient-specific therapy.
A relatively unexplored alternative system for patient-specific drug sensitivity profiling, patient-derived organotypic slice cultures (PDSCs), addresses many of these challenges. Compared to cell cultures, PDSCs retain both tumor cell heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment. In contrast to PDX, PDSCs can be tested in a clinically relevant time frame. Our preliminary studies demonstrate that PDSCs are readily established from human GBMs and conserve proliferation and morphologic integrity for up to 21 days. Unlike cell cultures, PDSCs lack a standardized high-throughput drug delivery system. To address this need, we have developed a microfluidic device that permits regioselective drug delivery with spatiotemporal control in a slice culture derived from human glioma stem cell xenografts. Our prototype platform is based on a 96 well plate interface and applies drug stripes to slices and allows sequential drug tests in orthogonal locations, which enables serial or even combinatorial drug delivery. Finally, administration of markers for cell death and for viability yields a simple and quantitative imaging readout that permits real-time automated analysis. Therefore, we hypothesize that microfluidic drug delivery applied to PDSC can provide a robust paradigm to profile patient-specific drug responses. The innovative combination of microfluidic technology and PDSCs for patient-specific drug screening has the potential to create a revolutionary tool to guide patient-specific therapies. Ultimately, by validation in actual patient samples, our microfluidic slice-based assay should not only complement genomic approaches that identify the best therapies for individual patients, but also serve as a novel platform for screening and development of new therapeutic agents.

Centre for the Study of the Second Vatican Council
Coordinator: Mathijs Lamberigts
Secretary: Dries Bosschaert
Page Content
More information about the centre
On February 20, 1970, the Centre for the Study of the Second Vatican Council (CSVII) was founded by two Leuven theology professors, Prof. Dr. Maurits Sabbe (1924-2004) and Prof. Dr. Jan Grootaers. Its aim was and continues to be the collection of source material documenting the history of Vatican II and to advance and support research regarding the council.
Faculty Project on Vatican II
Today, in the light of the commemorations of the fiftieth anniversary of Vatican II (2012-2015), the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies as a whole seeks to prioritize its focus on the Second Vatican Council in its research, teaching, and service to the church. We will not only advance the historical and theological investigations into the origins and impact of the council documents, but also intend to study past events and texts in order to shape their present-day reception, as part of the effort to best prepare the Roman Catholic Church for the future and its challenges. In the areas where the reception of Vatican II's heritage has yet to be accomplished, and where the debate is ongoing, the Faculty commits itself to this debate, relying on its historical, systematical-, and practical-theological expertise.
On December 1, 2015 the Centre for the Study of the Second Vatican Council will organise together with the Research Group Anthropos a symposium titled: Quid est autem homo? Christian Anthropology as Gaudium et Spes' Answer to Humanity and the World. More information can be found here.

HARDCORE DEVO LIVE! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see DEVO perform the legendary, experimental music the band created between 1974-1977 in Akron, Ohio. This tour is dedicated to the memory of Robert Casale, (A.K.A. Bob 2), one of the 5 original DEVO band members, who is now touring the universe. A portion of all proceeds from this tour will go to Bob Casale's family.Genre: new wave / post-punk / synthpop / electronic rock.
Devo's early work caught the attention of such icons as Neil Young and David Bowie, and, with such hits as "Whip It" and "Girl U Want," and the accompanying, revolutionary music videos, the group became one of the defining acts of the 1980s. Devo's sound, style, and philosophy have been an influence on artists from Rage Against the Machine to Lady Gaga. Devo's music remained a staple in movies, commercials, and videogames.

I generally prefer glass top ranges, but I have to say that this one "gets me cookin!" The settings are easy to use, it heats extremely well, and the oven is amazing. The bake/broil settings do just what you want them to. I bake a lot, so I need an oven that maintains a consistent temperature all the time. Especially when making cheese cakes from scratch. I bake my own breads and that's another time I rely on consistent heat. This oven definitely does provide that and the steam release under the rear left eye shares an aroma with the air that's just heavenly when you're cooking. It's got a great amount of space for baking and the oven racks adjust easily. Shortly after I got my stove my grandmother's went out, and we bought her the same stove in white and she loves it! This is a really good product, the only thing I don't love is the oven is not self cleaning. Thanks Whirlpool.

This range has good performance but does take some getting used to. For example, after setting the oven temps or the timer you must remember to push the start button or those functions will not work. Once the control quirks are understood it is a fairly easy unit to work with. The oven cooks well but seems to have lower actual temperatures than what is set on the control panel. I compensate for this by setting the control panel for 15 to 25 degrees higher than the readout. My model does not have a self cleaning oven but it is a nice looking range.

There is only so much that can be said about a Stove. We all know how they work and what makes this one different is its simplicity. Very efficient and effective oven. Quick to heat to temperature with handy built in timer that let's you know when it reaches set degrees. Easy to press buttons and easy instructions. Quick heating stovetop range. Very streamlined easy to clean up after cooking. Everything wipes off so easily. I love this stove and would recommend to family.

Abstract"The Phase I research and development performed by ArchitectureTechnology demonstrates the feasibility of building a debug-and-test system for distributed-object environments. During Phase Ithe ability to capture, decode, and playback method invocationson CORBA-compliant distributed objects was demonstrated.Features were identified for DOTS that would enable testing anddebugging of distributed objects in a manner similar to thatprovided by source-code debuggers.In this proposal, we outline the tasks necessary to implementDOTS software built on top of our in-house distributed capture-and-playback software. Additionally, new user interfaces thatprovide more intuitive views of object interactions, as well asa simulated playback feature, are presented and will be builtduring Phase II.BENEFITS: The benefit of DOTS is the reduction of deployment and maintenance costs related to the development of CORBA-compliant distributed systems. A Phase II goal is to incorporate the DOTS software into the Combat Control System Module Off-HullAssembly Test Site of the Virginia-class submarine program.The final result of this Phase II effort will be "shrink wrap" software offered through Architecture Technology Corporation's existing distribution channels. The software will be marketed to both military and civilian system developers."

WARREN — About 1,000 Delphi Packard Electric retirees were encouraged to fight for their pensions and health-care benefits at a rally this morning.
Don Arbogast, a former shop chairman for International Union of Electrical Workers Local 717, said pressure has to be placed on the Obama administration. He said the U.S. Treasury Department forced General Motors to renege on a pledge to provide pensions and health care for retirees if Delphi Corp. could not.
Retirees were asked to call local, state and national politicians and to provide their names and phone numbers to organizers so they could be called later to have mass protests.
For the complete story, see Thursday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
I was a little disappointed that there was little or no support from the media or city fathers for this meeting, what was made abundantly clear from those who shared information was; the valley will continue to experience more short falls in liquidity if this trend continues as expected. This article here represents a small fraction of the seriousness of the issues the valley can expect if the negativity around Delphi and Local GM continue. I encourage those effected by these recent events to stay strong in unity and never doubt we have always been there for this community, so let the mockers and haters of good continue as they always do and will, let us be true to our convictions and what we have stood for even when it seems all hope is gone and it appears few stand with us in this time of crisis.

Ski JumpingMonday, January 18th, 2016 2:45 pm
Ski Jumping
A Year-Round Activity
Ski jumping is a year-round sport at Blackhawk and the facilities are some of the best in the nation. Blackhawk has 5-meter, 15-meter, 30-meter, and 60-meter ski jumps. All of Blackhawk's ski jumps have plastic mats and steel track for training in the non-snow months. Blackhawk's smaller jumps (5, 15, and 30-meter) also have a rope tow that is used throughout the year to dramatically increase the number of jumps a jumper can get during a practice session.
Ski jumps are designed so the jumper flies close to the ground to land safely on the hill. This is an individual sport that stresses good sportsmanship and encourages kids to improve their personal records. Ski jumpers come in all body sizes. Ski jumping is a great sport for families with kids of all ages. Everyone can come together and practice at the same time. A typical practice session lasts about an hour and a half and includes playing soccer (non-snow months), cross country skiing (winter months), stretching, imitation jumping (IMOs), jumping and reviewing videotapes.
Success in the Past and Present
Blackhawk has a long and proud past in ski jumping. The club was founded in 1947 by a group of ski jumpers. Blackhawk added snow-making equipment and was the first ski jumping club in the Western hemisphere to successfully install plastic mats for year-round training. Three of Blackhawk's ski jumpers have participated in the Olympics: Dave Norby (1968), Bill Bakke (1968) and Kurt Stein (1992 and 1994). Blackhawk has produced numerous national champions including Werner Schorr, Kurt Stein, and Will Schott (2006). Will Schott participated in Junior Worlds in January 2010 and was named to the U.S. Ski Jumping Team. Between 2012 and 2015 6 of Blackhawk's jumpers have qualified for Junior Nationals.
Success in the ski jumping program comes from having access to top-level facilities and highly trained coaches. Blackhawk is fortunate to have both.
Introduction to Ski Jumping
Skiers who can easily ski down Hill #2, usually ages five and older, are welcome to try ski jumping. Blackhawk offers an Introduction to Ski Jumping class on Tuesday evenings starting at 5:30. Beginning ski jumpers will learn the basics about ski jumping. When they feel comfortable, they can go off of the smallest jump with their alpine skis. Helmets are required.
New jumpers will have a chance to participate in Blackhawk's home tournament in January. As the young jumpers progress, if they wish to join the Blackhawk Ski Jumping Team they can come to regular practices on Tuesday nights 5:30-6:30 p.m. by the small ski jumps. Parents are asked to stay and help during practices.
Blackhawk Ski Jumping Team
The team includes youth who have tried the sport and want to learn more, possibly compete in tournaments and/or work towards the goal of Junior Nationals and beyond. Practices are held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-7 p.m. Members of the team can train on snow in winter (December-March), and train on plastic in the spring (May-June) and fall (September-November). Jumpers are not required to attend all practices.
Jumpers can participate in the club's winter tournament on Sunday, January 9, 2016, or in optional camps throughout the year. Jumpers may begin traveling to other tournaments in the Central Region (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois) when they are ready. Participation in tournaments at other clubs is optional and those fees are not included. As jumpers progress, they can rent jumper skis and boots from the club for a modest fee. Parents are asked to stay and help during practices.
