The point here is to solve two simple problems before solving the more complex problem of finding the transfer function of the cascaded network. After finding the transfer function compute the impulse and step responses.

Three Year Old & Family Asked To Leave KFC Because Her Face "Scared Diners."
This little 3-year-old girl was attacked by a three Pitt Bulls and quite frankly is lucky to be alive. She went through several reconstructive surgeries and suffered from severe scarring. Recently, her family was reportedly asked to leave a KFC Restaurant because her face "scared diners." What's wrong with people?

A full time stay at home mum, a part time social service volunteer & part time animal 'foster-er'.
Crochet is my all time love and relaxer.. but I love craft in all forms.
I love macrame too.. something about tying those knots is calming.
I am a major re-cycler.. and many of my projects 'show' this too :-)
Visit me at http://shyamanivas.blogspot.in/ for patterns n more :)
This scarf has an odd inspiration. I saw a printed design on the edge of a dress, and somehow thought it looked like the double-helical DNA. Coincidentally that night, one of my favourite T.V shows (The Big Bang Theory) aired an old episode where somehow the otherwise in-the-background DNA model in Sheldon & Leonard's living room seemed to loom really large .. tada! Scarf born!
This scarf is worked from the bottom up, and though a long repeat, is not a difficult one. It also allows you to increase the length as per your choice, and width too, if you chose a thicker yarn.
This pattern has been tested using :
a) 3-ply light acrylic yarn, 50g / 285 yds ; 4 mm crochet hook ;
b) Caron One Pound , 9 oz / 574 yds ; I crochet hook
Comments : Clear instructions and photos , took about 5-6 hrs ; planning on making this again;
it is pretty, fast, easy, and flexible in sizing with a change in yarn and/or hook.
Skill level by tester : Easy
c) Shibui Knits Linen (fingering weight chain-plied 100% linen), 244 yards ; US size G, 4.0mm crochet hook ;
Gauge : blocked, 14 trc and 6 rows = 4";
Comments : Instructions & photos good , took about 10 hrs ; I find this design decorative and very versatile for a variety of fibers and yarn weights. It would be easy to add beads at the picots for an even more decorative look.
Skill level by tester : advanced beginner
d) Bernat Baby Jacard , half skein/50g/173yd , G crochet hook (4.25mm) ; GAUGE: 16 sc 4x4 in ;
Comments : Clear instructions ; Photos : Extremely helpful, I liked the photos to confirm placement of the group stitches and to make sure I had read the directions correctly. They were great to confirm repeats ; took about 5-6 hrs as I was not able to sit down for more than 15 mins at a stretch.
Skill level by tester : Experienced beginner

Lewis Hamilton hopes for third time lucky in Belgium
Published 29/08/2009
Lewis Hamilton has a score to settle this weekend after being deprived last year of a Belgian Grand Prix victory he felt was his.
Hamilton stood on top of the podium and sprayed the race winner's champagne following a stunning, rain-hit end to the race at Spa.
The 24-year-old was involved in a thrilling duel with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen that resulted in the Finn sliding off the track and into a wall on the final lap.
But it was the conclusion to the penultimate lap that caused the controversy as Hamilton was adjudged by stewards long after the race to have cut the final chicane.
It resulted in Hamilton being handed a retrospective 25-second drive-through penalty, demoting him from first to third which was upheld after an appeal by McLaren.
It is a case of unfinished business for Hamilton, who yesterday claimed top spot at the end of practice for Sunday's return.
"I definitely want to get that win here," said Hamilton, who was fourth in 2007.
"I felt like I won it last year, so it would feel good to get that win at one of my favourite circuits, one of the best in the world.
"There are certain races you look forward to in the year and this is one of them. It is a serious circuit, serious high speed.
"I have always said it is one of those circuits where you actually feel you are going somewhere as you go up through the woods as it is very long, but you do need a stable car.
"So I have to hope it is third time lucky. That's a good way for me to look at it, especially as we've come off two very good weekends.
"I always seem to go quite well here, even though this circuit is seriously high downforce.
"I don't think we have had the best, especially for the high-speed corners, but bit by bit we are making improvements and hopefully we can challenge for another podium."
Hamilton insists he has learned from the incident that unfolded, even if on reflection he feels he did nothing wrong. In cutting the chicane he passed Raikkonen, and although he allowed the Finn by — as the rules stipulate — it was determined he had too much speed that allowed him to quickly regain the lead at the time.
"You learn that sometimes things happen," added Hamilton.
"You learn that if you are in a similar situation you really have to wait, maybe another lap just to be certain, and that if you do overtake again then you don't get caught."
Hamilton is in a different situation this year compared to last, an onlooker to the title race currently being played out rather than heavily involved as he has been the last two seasons.
With no McLarens or Ferraris involved in the championship chase, it is an unusual scenario for Formula One, with some observers feeling the fight this year lacks quality. Hamilton can appreciate the sentiment, although feels with Jenson Button, Rubens Barrichello, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel in the fray, it is no less enthralling.
"I have grown up watching Formula One with guys like Kimi and Fernando (Alonso), top drivers at the front competing for world championships. That's what is exciting," addressed Hamilton.
"It would be great to see them there, but I think this year has been exciting to see another group of drivers at the front. Now you are seeing a real mix, and I think it is turning out to be an exciting season."
Hamilton is just delighted to be playing his part again, winning in Hungary and finishing second in Valencia, and looking the business again yesterday.

Finding James
We don't know where he came from but James appeared at my daughter's house and invited himself in! Someone had moved and left him behind, probably because he suffers from Asthma.
The weather was turning nasty and we were worried so, very late one night, under cover of darkness, we went to try and find him…

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A judge ruled that the Rochester-Genesee (N.Y.) Regional Transit Authority (RGRTA) must discontinue its school bus operations.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) ruled earlier this year that RGRTA was providing illegal school bus service for the Rochester City School District (RCSD), displacing about 70 routes previously operated by Laidlaw Education Services.
The FTA reopened the case in April but then reiterated its earlier decision, ordering RGRTA to cease and desist the school routes. RGRTA then filed suit in District Court against the FTA's ruling. The judge denied RGRTA's appeal, granting only a stay of the ruling until Oct. 1 — an extension from the original deadline of Sept. 6.

We encourage to build the indication in sessions separate from actual search work and basically do a lot of repetition to build 'muscle memory' as it were....actually we get that down first with a lot of runaways or using back chaining.
In any event, agree with your choice of indication as the bringsel has some unique problems in heat and in heavy brush. .. and you can keep the jump low (like having the dog target your hip not your chest) with a big concern being that you don't want to stop and stand when you see the dog coming as that will cue the jump and be a necessary part of the chain. You may be still and braced for the jump early on but in the future you want the dog to hit you no matter how you are moving or being stationary.
I would get it fluid with out the "yo yo" and only proceed to multiples after the has the chain down solid, as you proposed and then the dog will start to offer it naturally.
Also, one thing that often breaks down is the actual jump on you because the handler lets the dog get sloppy and they wind up coming by and doing a fly by or just looking at the handler.....so don't let it break down..need the indication each time. If it starts to fall apart shorten up, give some kind of reward (for that a bit of food is ok if they will take it) to bridge the gap -You may get the same issue when you start doing "yo yo" with the dog not going all the way into the subject - once again - don't let that break down find a small bit of something really yummy. I am working on the assumption your dog is toy driven for the "big reward" when you, the subject, and the dog are all together.

[author:: Valerie Marciano, Esq.]
When faced with a contract dispute, parties frequently hire attorneys and use the court system to resolve their dispute. However, there is an alternative dispute mechanism – Binding Arbitration – which is available to resolve disputes if the parties have already agreed to use that method of dispute resolution. In boilerplate contract language, binding arbitration provisions may exist. Such provisions can often be found in a pre-printed contract forms or could have been included in a negotiated agreement by a business lawyer when the contract or agreement was written.
What is Binding Arbitration?
Binding arbitration is a process that includes the use of an outside third-party known as an arbitrator (or a group of third-parties) to hear, consider, and decide the dispute. The agreement to use binding arbitration must be in writing and signed by both or all parties. It cannot be forced upon a party without having a written binding arbitration agreement already in place. Many people sign documents that contain the binding arbitration provisions without really knowing what the provisions mean or how they will be enforced if parties end up in a contract dispute.
How Does Binding Arbitration Work?
Unlike the judicial system, there are no set standard rules to follow in the arbitration process, and typically, unless built into the arbitration provision itself, there is no right to appeal the decision of the arbitrator or group of arbitrators. The arbitration process is intended to be less expensive and faster than the traditional court system used through court litigation. However, the parties may still spend tens of thousands of dollars in arbitrator fees as well as wait an extended period of time before the dispute is presented to the arbitrators. In light of the back log of cases pending before the Arizona courts, it is likely that the arbitration process is still faster that the court system, that is if both parties actively pursue the arbitration process. Notably, while the parties may have previously agreed to arbitration, they can later decide to forgo the arbitration process and instead use the courts to have their case heard. In that instance, however, both parties would need to agree to waive, or forego the arbitration process and proceed to litigate the dispute through the court system.
Should I Use Binding Arbitration for Debt Resolution?
A bank seeking judgment against a borrower on a secured or unsecured loan can use arbitration proceedings if specified in the underlying loan documents. An unsecured loan could be a credit card. A loan that is secured by collateral is a home mortgage, auto loan or it could be a personal loan. Thus, assuming the parties have agreed to use binding arbitration, the lender may use the arbitration process to collect the balance owed on the unsecured loan. Where the loan is a secured loan, such as a home mortgage – and an arbitration agreement was made between the borrower and the lender – the lender may use the arbitration process to obtain what is called a "deficiency judgment" following a trustee sale or foreclosure of real property. Otherwise, the lender will initiate a court action to obtain a deficiency judgment against the borrower following a trustee sale where the parties have not previously agreed to use arbitration. In either circumstance, the lender will seek a judgment against the borrower for a "deficiency", or in other words, for the amount owed to the lender once the collateral pledged for the loan has been seized, sold and credited against the loan amount.
Where the loan documents contain an arbitration clause, a borrower who has defaulted on the loan may choose to go to binding arbitration instead of having the debt collection action determined by the courts. The lender who forecloses on the real property and then pursues a deficiency judgment for the balance of the loan, in that case, will not be going to court to get a deficiency judgment against the borrower. Instead, assuming the borrower insists on enforcing the arbitration provision, the lender will be presenting the matter to the arbitrator(s) to obtain a deficiency judgment against the borrower.
Recent Changes to Arizona Law
Recently, in National Bank of Arizona v. Schwartz, 637 Ariz. Adv. Rep. 12 (Ariz.App.Div.1, June 26, 2012), an Arizona Court confirmed that a deficiency action will be presented to an arbitrator (and not a court) pursuant to an arbitration provision if the borrower enforces the arbitration clause, even in the case where the lender seeks a deficiency judgment from the courts following a trustee sale of real property. The lesson learned from this case – from the borrower's perspective – is that when faced with an action filed before a court, the borrower should consult the loan documents to determine if they contain an arbitration provision, and if there is an arbitration provision, the borrower should decide whether the matter should be heard by arbitrators rather than a judge. On the other hand, a lender may want to evaluate the benefits of including an arbitration provision in the loan documents, realizing that an arbitrator, rather than a judge, may be deciding the merits – and amount – of a deficiency judgment.

Afghanistan is in desperate need of investment to invigorate its tiny, fragile economy, but on top of the grave physical dangers of the decade-old war, businesses are put off by corruption, pitiful infrastructure, and a slothful bureaucracy.
Even after the billions of dollars of Western aid that have been pumped in, Afghan gross domestic product was only $15-billion last year, a tenth of the size of Cameroon, El Salvador and Uganda, and its jobless rate is around 30 per cent.
As it looks beyond the 2014 deadline for foreign combat troops to leave, the government is banking on potentially huge mining projects to bring in cash, not least to pay for the disciplined security forces it needs to prevent the country being sucked into a full-blown civil war.
But without a layer of small enterprises with the capacity to provide jobs, goods, services and taxes, the hoped-for enriching effect of big business will be severely limited.
Yu Minghui, a Chinese merchant who has been trying to build a small steel plant on the outskirts of Kabul since 2003, should be welcomed with open arms.
His factory will employ around 80 Afghans, and in a bright "swords into ploughshares" idea, recycle the military wreckage that decades of conflict has scattered across the country into steel wire for buildings.
Progress has been painfully slow, he says, and the Afghan authorities obstructive and money-grabbing.

UK Greenlights Amazon's Drone Delivery Tests
August 2, 2016
Amazon, which has appealed to U.S. regulators for years for permission to test package delivery with aerial drones, last week announced a new partnership with the UK government to launch a pilot program there. A cross-government team, supported by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, has granted Amazon permission to begin testing three critical performance factors.
SolarCity Deal Would Take Tesla Where No Company Has Gone Before
August 1, 2016
Tesla Motors has announced that it has reached an agreement to purchase SolarCity. The deal could create the world's first vertically integrated sustainable energy company. The merger would drive efforts to develop rooftop solar systems, and better storage batteries for homes and businesses, as well as electric vehicles. It would, in essence, tie together Elon Musk's sustainable energy businesses.
Fixing Apple's Problem
August 1, 2016
Apple last week reported earnings, and with the exception of a strong showing from the iPad Pro, the key financial metrics were all down -- and for the third quarter running. So what's wrong with Apple? The company had been growing alarmingly well until last year, but growth suddenly has become elusive. It isn't going out of business, but it also isn't the performance king anymore.
Why 1 Billion iPhones Sold Matters
August 1, 2016
Sales of the iPhone for the current quarter may be down, but sales for the decade are up, way up. Apple last week announced that it had sold its billionth iPhone, a historic feat for a consumer electronics product from a single vendor. "We never set out to make the most, but we've always set out to make the best products that make a difference," said Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Clinton Campaign Latest Target of Hackers Linked to Russia
July 30, 2016
The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is the latest possible victim of a series of hack attacks some cybersecurity experts have linked to the Russian government. Campaign officials reportedly acknowledged that an analytics program it uses, which is maintained by the DNC, was accessed in a breach discovered earlier this month.
Oracle Hauls In NetSuite
July 28, 2016
Oracle has inked an agreement to acquire NetSuite -- the company its former chief marketing officer, Zach Nelson, cofounded in 1998 -- for $9.3 billion. NetSuite offers various software packages as cloud-based services, including ERP, accounting, CRM and sales force automation. What's surprising about the deal is "why it took so long and why Oracle paid so much," said analyst Trip Chowdhry.
Apple Earnings Sag on Lower iPhone Price Points
July 28, 2016
Apple on Tuesday reported lower earnings in the third-quarter as the global saturation of smartphones continued to put pressure on its core iPhone business. However, officials remained upbeat. The company reported stronger-than-expected metrics and has been able to grow its software and services business while expanding into key overseas markets. Apple reported net income of $7.8 billion.
Nintendo's Q1 Reflects Struggles Unrelated to Pokemon Go Success
July 27, 2016
Nintendo shares fell sharply in Tokyo on Wednesday, following its release of a first-quarter earnings report that disappointed analyst expectations. The company reported a drop of 31 percent in net sales and an operating loss of about $48 million, which it attributed to growing strength in the Japanese yen but which likely had more to do with dismal sales of the Wii U, which it is phasing out.
Aquila Test Flight Carries Facebook's Internet Ambitions Aloft
July 26, 2016
Facebook has carried out the first full-scale test flight of Aquila, a high-altitude solar-powered unmanned aircraft designed to provide Internet access to remote regions. The company had flown a one-fifth scale version of the airplane for several months. The full-sized craft has the wingspan of a Boeing 737 -- 46 yards -- but reportedly weighs less than 900 pounds fully laden.
KickassTorrents Owner Faces 20-Plus Years in Stir
July 26, 2016
Polish authorities last week arrested the alleged owner of pirate website KickassTorrents, or KAT, 30-year-old Artem Vauln of Kharkiv, Ukraine. Vaulin faces charges in the United States of conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement, criminal copyright infringement and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Conspiracy to commit money laundering is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Yahoo Deal Could Put Verizon in Google and Facebook's League
July 25, 2016
Verizon has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Yahoo's operating business for approximately $4.83 billion in cash. The deal, which comes on the heels of Verizon's $4.4 billion AOL purchase last year, will allow it to expand its digital advertising business. The purchase will provide Verizon with Yahoo's ad tech tools, search, email and messenger assets.
Verizon on Verge of $5B Deal for Yahoo Core Assets
July 22, 2016
Verizon reportedly is close to a deal to buy the core Web assets of Yahoo for $5 billion, which would end a months-long process of jockeying over the future of the struggling company. Verizon emerged as the winner of a lengthy bidding contest to acquire the assets, according to reports that surfaced Friday. An agreement is expected early next week.
Musk Plots Out Tesla's Next 10 Years
July 22, 2016
Elon Musk has unveiled a second master plan for Tesla, a follow-up to the vision he shared 10 years ago. The original master plan is now in the final stages of execution. The refresh sketches out a multiyear, four-pronged strategy that is about more than vehicles. Musk also plans to advance an integrated solar-roof-with-battery product and create a ride-sharing program, among other things.
Netflix Shares Fall as Subscriber Growth Hits a Wall
July 20, 2016
Shares of Netflix fell sharply Tuesday after it reported lower-than-expected second quarter earnings, which the company blamed on subscriber growth that fell short of forecasts. Netflix added 1.7 million subscribers in the quarter, pushing its total membership to more than 83 million, the company told shareholders. However, that growth was far less than the 2.5 million it had projected.
Uber by the Billions
July 20, 2016
Uber just celebrated its two-billionth trip in a 147-way tie, CEO Travis Kalanick announced Monday. Each of the drivers and riders who began their trip at 4:16 a.m. GMT on Saturday, June 18, got a $450 gift from Uber -- the number is significant because Uber now operates in 450 cities across the globe, Kalanick said. The company's growth trajectory is impressive.
Yahoo Posts Weak Earnings as Assets Sale Waiting Game Drags On
July 19, 2016
Yahoo on Monday reported second quarter earnings that fell just short of Wall Street estimates but left investors and analysts waiting to hear about progress in finding a strategic investment partner. Negotiations over the potential sale of the company's core assets are under way. The company reported earnings from operations of $39 million, or 9 cents a share in the second quarter.
Softbank Strong-ARMs Its Way Into Internet of Things
July 19, 2016
Softbank Group has agreed to buy British semiconductor maker ARM Holdings for about $31.4 billion in cash, the companies announced Monday. Softbank agreed to pay a hefty premium for ARM, with a price of about $67.28 per ARM share, which is a 42.9 percent premium over the $47.08 closing price as of Friday, the last business day before the deal was announced. The surprise move will help Softbank gain a solid IoT foothold.
Valve to Close the Spigot on Gambling Operations
July 18, 2016
Valve last week announced it would take action against third-party sites that run illegal gambling operations. A number of gambling sites have been leveraging the Steam gaming platform -- in particular, the Counter-Strike game -- to create massive operations that convert virtual skins into cash, Valve said. Valve denied allegations that it has in any way profited from those illegal sites.
Congressional Committee Report Finds Something Rotten at FDIC
July 18, 2016
Officials at the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which insures deposits in U.S. banks, made false statements to Congress and failed to make timely notification of serious cybersecurity breaches, according to a U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space and Technology's interim staff report. FDIC CIO Lawrence Gross has created a toxic work environment, it also says.
Reading Between the Lines: Musk's Folly, Trump's Plan
July 18, 2016
Something like 90 percent of CEOs are planning to put their companies out of business accidentally, based on a KPMG report I just reviewed. After watching Tesla of late, I think Musk is on the fast track to lead this effort, and since I'm a Tesla fan, and I know a lot of you drive Teslas, I thought that might be an interesting, if scary, topic for this week.
Apple Patents Tech to Foil Concert Pirates
July 16, 2016
A patent for an infrared system that could be used to shut off iPhone cameras and microphones at live performances is one of dozens recently awarded to Apple. The system could assist the music and movie industries by automatically disabling camera functions at movies or concerts. It could have other applications as well -- for example, turning an iOS device into a museum or city tour guide.
EU Ratchets Up Charges in Google Antitrust Probe
July 16, 2016
Google and its parent company Alphabet are facing new charges in the European Commission's ongoing investigation of allegations that Google's comparison shopping and online advertising platforms violated antitrust laws. The EC on Thursday alleged that Google had abused its dominant position by systematically favoring its own comparison shopping service in search results.
Microsoft Wins Legal Victory in Fight Over Email Stored Abroad
July 15, 2016
Microsoft has won its nearly four-year battle against a warrant requiring it to turn over customer emails held on a server in Ireland. Microsoft had complied with demands to turn over account information stored on its servers in the U.S., but it had refused to give up the emails themselves, contending a U.S. judge did not have the authority to issue warrants for information stored abroad.
Consumer Reports Urges Tesla to Pull Plug on Autopilot
July 15, 2016
Consumer Reports has urged Tesla to disable the automatic steering function and change the name of its Autopilot driving assist feature. Questions recently have arisen over whether Tesla's Model S vehicles can operate safely without regular human intervention. Consumer Reports' change request sprang from concerns over a number of recent test crashes, including a fatal accident in Florida.
Music Industry Boos Google's Antipiracy Performance
July 13, 2016
Google on Wednesday released an update of its online antipiracy efforts. YouTube has generated more than $2 billion to content copyright holders by monetizing user-uploaded content through its Content ID rights management system, Google said, adding that more than 90 percent of all Content ID claims result in monetization. YouTube also paid out more than $3 billion to the music industry.
Facebook Lets Messenger Conversations Go Dark
July 13, 2016
Facebook last week said it would begin testing long anticipated end-to-end encryption capabilities in its Messenger app, enabling users to have secret conversations. The new level of security means that a message will be visible only to the sender and the recipient -- Facebook won't even be able to read it. Users can set a timer to limit the amount of time that a message remains visible.
Nintendo Shares Surge on Pokemon Go Juggernaut
July 12, 2016
Nintendo shares soared on Monday after its new augmented reality mobile app, Pokemon Go, burst out of the gate over the weekend in the U.S and in key markets around the globe. The company's shares rose 36 percent in two days, after downloads of the Pokemon Go app raced to the top of iOS and Android charts in the U.S. The wave of demand exceeded expectations, said Morgan Stanley MUFG analyst Mia Nagasaka.
Salesforce Wraps Up Demandware Acquisition
July 11, 2016
Salesforce on Monday announced it had completed its $2.8 billion acquisition of e-commerce cloud software platform Demandware. The deal "gives Salesforce the e-commerce piece to compete against Oracle, which already has e-commerce capabilities, as well as SAP," said Rebecca Wettemann, VP of research at Nucleus Research. "It also gives Salesforce a cloud transactional platform for B2C purchases."
Twitter to Carry Live Convention Coverage on the Web
July 11, 2016
Twitter will stream CBS News' live coverage of the Republication and Democratic National Conventions, the companies announced Monday. Twitter and CBS previously partnered on one of each party's presidential primary debates. In both instances, CBS' coverage included real-time metrics and curated tweets, and questions Twitter users submitted during the broadcasts were put to the candidates.
Parsing the Clinton Email Scandal
July 11, 2016
I've been watching the Clinton email scandal closely, because I not only have been in and out of law enforcement and security for much of my early life, but also was an internal auditor for IBM and one of the leading email experts in the 1990s. I think this is the only time I've seen an investigator channel a prosecutor and give someone a pass without addressing why crimes were committed.

Background: Cardiac pseudoaneurysm, a contained cardiac rupture, predisposes patients to further rupture. However, knowledge of the clinical profile and natural history of this cardiac complication is limited.
Objective: To study the clinical features and outcomes of patients with cardiac pseudoaneurysm.
Design: Retrospective analysis of patients with cardiac pseudoaneurysm seen between January 1980 and September 1996.
Setting: Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Jacksonville, Florida.
Patients: 52 patients with pseudoaneurysm.
Results: Pseudoaneurysm was discovered incidentally in 25 asymptomatic patients (48%). Four patients (8%) presented acutely (3 with acute myocardial infarction and 1 with cardiac tamponade). Other clinical presentations were congestive heart failure in 8 patients (15%), chest pain in 7 (13%), syncope or arrhythmia in 5 (10%), and systemic embolism in 3 (6%). Initial diagnostic tests were echocardiography in 32 patients, cardiac catheterization in 12, magnetic resonance imaging in 4, and computed tomography in 2. Diagnosis was made intraoperatively in two patients. Pseudoaneurysm occurred after cardiac surgery in 30 patients (58%) and after myocardial infarction in 22 (42%). Location of the pseudoaneurysm was primarily related to its cause: Pseudoaneurysm was located in the inferior or posterolateral wall in 18 of 22 patients (82%) after myocardial infarction, in the right ventricular outflow tract in 13 of 15 patients (87%) after congenital heart surgery, in the posterior subannular region of the mitral valve in 4 of 4 patients (100%) after mitral valve replacement, and in the subaortic region in 3 of 3 (100%) after aortic valve replacement. Forty-two patients (81%) had surgical repair (surgical mortality rate, 7%). Ten patients (19%) did not have surgery. Nineteen patients died after a median survival of 2.3 years (range, 3 days to 8.2 years): Eight died of noncardiac cause, 5 of congestive heart failure, 4 of acute myocardial infarction, and 2 of cardiac arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia). No further cardiac ruptures were documented.
Conclusions: A substantial number of patients with pseudoaneurysm are asymptomatic. Although surgical repair is the treatment of choice, conservative management in selected patients with increased surgical risk seems reasonable because no deaths were caused by further rupture.
The pseudoaneurysm is connected with the left ventricle by a narrow neck (arrowheads). LA = left atrium; Ps = pseudoaneurysm; RA = right atrium.
Pseudoaneurysm occurred after myocardial infarction and involved the inferior wall. The pseudoaneurysm expands in systole.
Arrowheads indicate the junction of normal myocardium and wall of pseudoaneurysm (Ps). LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle.

Advances in genetics class since your high school biology class
Over the past decades, the field of genetics rapidly developed, for example in the areas of inherited diseases, cancer, personalized medicine, genetic counseling, the microbiome, diagnosis and discovery of viruses, taxonomy of species, genealogy, forensic science, epigenetics, junk DNA, gene therapy and gene editing.
Joel Eissenberg, Ph.D., associate dean for research and professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine summarizes major advances in genetics since the 1960s:
When Did You Go to High School?
If you took high school biology in the …
1960s, you learned about the structure of the double helix and how sequences of DNA encode amino acids.
1970s, you may also have learned about cloning and the potential for recombinant DNA.
1980s, your class may have covered the clinical use of recombinant human insulin for diabetes treatment and the advent of GMO foods.
1990s, your class may have studied the molecular basis for human genetic disorders, like cystic fibrosis.
2000s, your teachers likely described how the human genome was being sequenced.
You can find further information: http://www.slu.edu/news/2016/august/Eissenberg-genetics-essay.php---------------------
What's changed in genetics since your high school biology class?: The field of genetics has seen astonishing breakthroughs and the development of world-changing technologies in the past half century.

"Chef Watson" is an experiment to test if Watson could create entirely new and surprising recipes and ingredient combinations. After reading thousands of recipes and learning about food pairing theories and the hundreds of thousands of complex relationships between flavor compounds, Chef Watson has helped shape the public perception of the potential for cognitive computing.
You can try Chef Watson for free here or as an smartphone app.

Do-It-Yourself Gene-Editing Kit for biology education
|CRISPR Kit
Moving genes from one organism to another used to be done only by big-budget labs. Three years ago, UC Berkeley developed the CRISPR gene-editing tool. CRISPR stands for 'Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats', which refers to a protein(Cas9) that can use an RNA guide to make highly specific cuts in DNA. This allows unprecedented abilities to edit DNA. Zayer is the first to make the CRISPR tool kit available to the masses.
The DIY gene-editing kit allows altering bacteria and yeast (which can change color, fragnance, or living requirements). The DIY CRISPR kit is available for 120$: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/diy-crispr-kits-learn-modern-science-by-doing#/

Steve Smith, Moises Henriques give NSW lead at stumps on day two of Sheffield Shield clash against WA
- From: AAP
- January 25, 2013
A timely half century on a batting minefield should help thrust Steve Smith into the front of Test selectors thoughts as he and Moises Henriques gave NSW a 21-run first-innings lead in their Sheffield Shield clash with Western Australia on Friday.
Prior to Smith (72) notching his fourth first-class half century of the summer, eight batsman from both teams at Blacktown International Sportspark had reached 20 but fallen short of 50.
New South Wales vs Western Australia
SHEF - Blacktown International Sportspark
24 January 2013 - Day 4, Session 3
Western Australia 2nd Innings
Match Drawn
New South Wales
Western Australia
|A. Agar
Smith and fellow Test hopeful Henriques (62 not out) combined to carry the Blues to 6-263, past WA's first innings total of 242 as they strengthened their cases for call-ups to the national team.
Smith showed tremendous patience in his 194-minute innings but also some spirited counter attacking which included nine boundaries, both qualities which will have the 23-year-old in contention for a spot on Australia's four-Test tour of India next month.
"It was nice to get 70 today and it was a little bit disappointing to get out when I did," Smith said.
"But we're in a good position so hopefully we can kick on.
"... I feel like I'm hitting them probably as well as I have this year, this season.
"It's obviously disappointing not to get a hundred yet, but I feel as if I'm hitting the ball really well. I don't think (a hundred) is too far away.''
That squad, expected to be announced on Thursday, will need to include a replacement for the retired Michael Hussey and a back-up batsman - roles for which Smith is being strongly considered, alongside the likes of Usman Khawaja, Glenn Maxwell, David Hussey and George Bailey.
Henriques also did his Test ambitions no harm by passing 50, also withstanding a bruising spell from Nathan Coulter-Nile (2-58) to close out the day.
While Smith's innings was chanceless, Henriques' was more aggressive and he was afforded a life on 14 when dropped by Liam Davis off offspinner Ashton Agar, who claimed 2-82 on debut on a deck that always offered something for the bowlers.
Smith put that down to the wicket being slightly two-paced with variable bounce, and offering plenty of turn.
"It's one of those wickets (where) it's hard to get used to the pace of it," Smith said.
"You never actually feel in.
"... The spin was quite hard. Ashton Agar was bowling a few arm balls and they were turning quite sharply.
"I thought he bowled really well in his first game, he's one to look out for."
With Henriques on 17 he sent a scare through the Blues camp when he was thumped on the thumb by a Coulter-Nile short ball and tossed his gloves and helmet to the ground.
It was the same thumb which Henriques injured last week while in camp with the Australian ODI side, and the blow left him wincing in pain.
Coulter-Nile was the pick of the WA quicks, while Jason Behrendorff finished with 2-39.

We really enjoyed staying at this house. The house is older but in a good shape. Pool is large and a highlight. Grocery stores are close-by. Mike is an exellent host and cares very much about his tenants. Absolutely recommendable!!!

The ease of communication was always there for us whenever needed and Mike was kind enough to leave a welcome note on the counter upon first arrival, as well as a folder that had important information organized within it.

We are excited to work with Mike every year for our annual trip moving forward.

|Time Series Analysis in SAS: Beyond Forecasting
By David J. Corliss
Written for the intermediate and advanced SAS user, this book has as its focus the many practical applications and concrete examples in SAS of a wide variety of important time series analysis tools other than forecasting. Many of these tools can be found in statistical journals, but these publications lack application to the situations faced by researchers in many areas. Moreover, a complete handbook for time series applications exists only for ARIMA models in general and forecasting in particular, not the many other techniques described in academic journals. This book will complement SAS's successful text, SAS for Forecasting Time Series, by John C. Brocklebank and David A. Dickey, expanding the SAS tools available to users to include many more, such as the following: cluster analysis, data visualization, work with missing data, and wavelets. This book also introduces time series analysis in SAS to researchers now using R for time series analysis.

Weld County Democrats will pick between a retired Greeley-Evans School District 6 teacher and a former prosecutor when the House District 50 vacancy committee meets Thursday to fill the slot left open when Rep. Jim Riesberg left the Legislature to become the state's insurance commissioner.
The vacancy committee, which includes Democrats from the district and party leadership, will meet at 6 p.m. at Weld Democratic Party headquarters " 810 9th St., Suite 150, Greeley " to interview candidates David L. Young and Ken Storck and then vote to pick the replacement. Once the replacement is certified by the Colorado Secretary of State's Office, he will serve out the remainder of Riesberg's term and face an election in November 2012.
Storck spent 26 years as a deputy district attorney in the Weld District Attorney's Office before running for state office for the first time last year as an unsuccessful candidate for state Senate District 13.
"I think with my first real try in politics last year, it was quite an education, so I know my successes and failures from last year and hope to have learned a few things," he said. "I learned so much from Jim Riesberg. What I would intend to do if I am appointed is immediately start walking the district to get input for potential legislation."
Storck said he looks up to Riesberg and hopes to continue the tradition Riesberg began of holding monthly open forums with constituents during the legislative session.
"I always thought Riesberg was my mentor and role model through my campaign last year," he said. "I hope to model myself after him and continue doing his forums and having a lot of contact with the people in House District 50 and trying to present a balanced view down in the Legislature."
Young, who taught math and science at Heath Middle School and still teaches classes online at the University of Colorado-Denver, said he has good political experience upon which to build. He also said if he were appointed to the Legislature, he would stop teaching at UCD and focus full time on the district.
He served as the president of the Weld County Council in 1994 and as president of the Greeley Education Association in the 1980s.
"I've had political experience, in one form or another, off and on throughout my career," he said. "I had plenty of opportunities to work with state legislators and also congressional leaders."
Young said he knows the Legislature will face tough choices when it reconvenes next year.
"I'm very concerned at this point about the overall state budget and the impact that it's having on lots of different segments of Colorado," he said. "I consider myself to be a problem solver and want to see if I can lend a hand and play a role in that process."
House District 50 includes Greeley, Evans and Garden City east of 35th Avenue.
