Inside Story | 23 May 2012 09:17 GMT | Politics, Egypt, Israel
Egyptians have begun the process of electing a new president and for the first time ever they have a real choice. But what kind of leader do the people want and what kind of power will the winner have?
"You are forced to vote for a president without knowing how much executive power he would have ... after the constitution is formed .... So we don't know if he has any ability to implement the programmes and the promises made."
- Mohammed Waked, a member of the National Front for Justice and Democracy
After months of instability and sporadic outbreaks of violence, Egyptians are taking another step towards establishing a new democracy; having put a parliament in place, some 50 million eligible voters now have the opportunity to choose who is going to be president.It is a vote that could signal an end to decades of what has effectively been military rule. But it is still not certain exactly how much executive power the generals who have been running the country since the fall of Hosni Mubarak will be willing to cede. The new president is being elected without a constitution to define his powers.Thirteen candidates with competing religious and political ideologies are vying for a position that, in the past, was essentially the preserve of one.The outcome is truly unpredictable. In this infant democracy, the polling is widely inaccurate and generally involves more propaganda than science.
"Egyptians need a strong leader but with political experience, with a real platform that can be applied on the ground and have a group of faithful experts around him ...."
- Dina Zakaria, a founder of the Freedom and Justice party
Some seek to find a barometer in the results of parliamentary election - where the parties that define themselves as Islamist emerged dominant. But this is the election of an individual, where personality may play a greater determining role than ideology.
The challenges facing the incoming president include poverty, corruption and improving public security. Another major issue will be relations with Israel.Joining presenter Mike Hanna on this special edition of Inside Story from Cairo are guests: Dina Zakaria, a founder of the Freedom and Justice party; Mohammed Waked, a member of the National Front for Justice and Democracy; and Abdullah al Arian, an assistant professor of Middle East history at Wayne University.
"All Egyptians want someone who is going to end the period of transition. The real question that then divides all Egyptians is what that resolution will look like, and we have vastly differing opinions on that."

Article: Clinical significance of IgG deposition in the glomerular mesangial area in patients with IgA nephropathy[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulin (Ig) A nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by mesangial deposits of IgA1 and C3, often with co-deposits of IgG. We attempted to clarify the clinical significance of mesangial IgG deposition in patients with IgAN. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 57 patients who were diagnosed with IgAN on the basis of pathological examination of renal biopsy specimens obtained between October 2006 and December 2010. Subjects were divided into two groups: IgA+IgG deposition (IgA-IgG) group (n = 29) and IgA deposition alone (IgA) group (n = 28). The study outcome was complete remission (CR), defined as negative proteinuria by dipstick urinalysis and urinary erythrocytes of less than 1-4/high-power field. RESULTS: Proteinuria was greater in the IgA-IgG group than the IgA group (1.1 ± 0.8 vs. 0.7 ± 0.6 g/day, Mann-Whitney U test, P = 0.042). Capillary wall IgA deposits were noted more frequently in the IgA-IgG group than the IgA group (59 vs. 11 %, Fisher's exact test, P = 0.014). During the median follow-up period of 33.3 months (range 6-55 months) in the 57 patients, we observed CR in 24 cases (42.1 %). After the start of treatment, urinary abnormalities disappeared earlier in the IgA group than in the IgA-IgG group (log rank test, P = 0.012). Cox's regression model showed that IgG deposition reduced the hazard ratio for CR (hazard ratio 0.35; 95 % confidence interval 0.14-0.82, P = 0.014). Therefore, IgG deposition is a risk factor for persistent urinary abnormalities. CONCLUSION: Mesangial IgG deposition is associated with more severe clinical features in patients with IgAN.Clinical and Experimental Nephrology 07/2012; 17(1).

Article: Effects of 22-oxacalcitriol and calcitriol on PTH secretion and bone mineral metabolism in a crossover trial in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this crossover comparison study is to elucidate the differences between the effects of a novel calcitriol analog, 22-oxacalcitriol, and calcitriol on parathyroid hormone (PTH) and bone mineral metabolism in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Twenty-three patients with moderate to severe SHPT were included in a random 2 x 2 crossover trial with two vitamin D analogs (12 weeks for each treatment). Two patients withdrew during the run-in period for personal reasons. Serum electrolyte, bone metabolic marker, intact PTH (iPTH) and whole PTH (wPTH) levels were measured periodically. The primary endpoint measure was a decrease in serum iPTH level, and the secondary outcome measures included changes in serum calcium (Ca), phosphate (P), and metabolic bone marker levels. Both treatments decreased iPTH and wPTH levels by similar degrees. Serum Ca, P, and Ca x P product levels at the end of each treatment were comparable and the frequencies of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia were also similar during each treatment period. 22-Oxacalcitriol significantly decreased the levels of bone metabolic markers, namely, bone-specific alkaline phosphate, intact osteocalcin, pyridinoline, and cross-linked N-telopeptide of type I collagen, after a 12-week treatment. In contrast, calcitriol did not change any of the levels of bone metabolic markers. The present study showed that 22-oxacalcitriol is equally effective for PTH suppression, and Ca and P metabolism. In addition, 22-oxacalcitriol might have putative actions on bone remodeling independent of its PTH suppression. Further study is necessary to confirm the effects of 22-oxacalcitriol on bone metabolism in SHPT.Therapeutic apheresis and dialysis: official peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy 07/2007; 11(3):202-9.

ABSTRACT: Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) leads not only to bone disorders, but also to cardiovascular complications in long-term dialysis patients. Conventional treatment with calcium (Ca) supplement, phosphate (P) binders and active vitamin D analogs lead in part to amelioration of SHPT, but are simultaneously associated with unacceptable side-effects, including hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and increased Ca x P products, which are the risk factors for cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients. Conventional treatment has been unable to facilitate the attainment of optimal management of SHPT proposed in the K/DOQI guidelines. Cinacalcet HCl (cinacalcet), a novel calcimimetic compound, restores the sensitivity of the Ca-sensing receptor in parathyroid cells, and decreases serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) without introducing hypercalcemia or hyperphosphatemia. Cinacalcet treatment enables a significant number of patients to achieve the K/DOQI guideline. Based on experimental data, calcimimetics could ameliorate cardiovascular calcification and remodeling in uremic rats with SHPT. Clinical trials have shown that cinacalcet significantly reduced the risks of parathyroidectomy, fracture and cardiovascular hospitalization among long-term dialysis patients with SHPT. Parathyroid intervention therapy (parathyroidectomy and percutaneous direct injection) is also a useful alternative. In the present article, we review novel therapeutic strategies for SHPT.Therapeutic apheresis and dialysis: official peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy 09/2006; 10(4):355-63.

ABSTRACT: Patients with chronic renal disease (CKD)almost always develop secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) due to hypocalcemia, phosphate retention, and abnormalities in vitamin D (VD) metabolism. Concomitant decreases in VD receptor and calcium sensing receptor in the parathyroid glands render them more resistant to the action of VD and calcium, and accelerate parathyroid cell growth. Several types of bone diseases are known to occur in CKD patients. Excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) due to SHPT causes high-turnover bone disease, called osteitis fibrosa. Among low-turnover bone disease (LTBD), osteomalacia which is characterized by calcification defect is often complicated with VD deficiency and/or aluminum accumulation. Recently, frequency of adynamic bone disease caused by PTH suppression, another type of LTBD, is increasing probably due to calcium salts as phosphate binder with or without VD treatment.Clinical calcium 06/2004; 14(5):720-5.

@MISC{Edalat99semi-pullbacksand, author = {Abbas Edalat}, title = {Semi-pullbacks and Bisimulation in Categories of Markov Processes}, year = {1999}}
this paper, we show that the answer to the above question is positive. More specifically, we give a canonical construction for semi-pullbacks in the category whose objects are families of Markov processes, with given transition kernels, on Polish spaces and whose morphisms are transition probability preserving surjective continuous maps. One immediate consequence is that the category of probability measures on Polish spaces with measure-preserving continuous maps has semi-pullbacks. Our construction gives semi-pullbacks for various full subcategories, including that of Markov processes on locally compact second countable spaces and also in the larger category where the objects are Markov processes on analytic spaces (i.e. continuous images of Polish spaces) and morphisms are transition probability preserving surjective Borel maps. It also applies to the corresponding categories of ultrametric spaces. Finally, our result also holds in the larger categories with Markov processes which are given by subprobability distributions, i.e. the total probability of transition from a state can be strictly less than one. We now explain the relevance of our result in computer science. The consequences of Semi-pullbacks and Bisimulation 3 our mathematical result in the theory of probabilistic bisimulation has been investigated in (Blute et al., 1997; Desharnais et al., 1998). We will briefly review this here. Following the work of Joyal, Nielsen and Winskel (Joyal et al., 1996) on the notion of bisimulation using open maps, define two objects A and B in a category to be bisimular if there exists an object C and morphisms f : C ! A and g : C ! B, i.e.,

After evenly played regulation time, one 10-minute overtime period and then sudden-death play, it was apparent that a special goal would be required from either the Blast or the visiting Monterrey Flash to take the first game of the Major Arena Soccer League's championship series.

using black trash bags to warm soil?
I live in Boyne City Michigan which is in the northern part of the lower peninsula. My gardening season doesn't start until late May-early June and that's if the weather cooperates.
I have a very short growing season basically I have from late May-early June until October (maybe November if I'm lucky).
Warm weather vegetables (cucumbers, any kind of squash, melons, beans, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, and okra) don't grow as well here because the summers where I live our mild; as a result they also tend to be cooler.
To heat up the soil so the seeds will germinate faster and so that I'll get bigger yields and have healthier plants, could I use black trash bags on top of the soil to heat up the soil? Would I have to cut holes in the trash bags that's equal to how big the plant will be, or can I just plant the seed and just cover the soil with a black garbage bag? Would I need to use a double thickness of the black garbage bags?
Also I plan to use bottle cloches with warm weather vegetables in addition to covering the soil with the black trash bags. Bottle cloches essentially act like a mini green house and will heat up the growing area for the seedling by 10-20 degrees. If I use the bottle cloches in addition to using the black garbage bags will I be overheating the plant?
You can try the black plastic bags to warm the soil, but I would NOT plant through them! They're meant to go on top of your beds a few weeks *before* your last frost date and be removed when you actually plant out your transplants. Remember, plastic isn't porous, so among other issues, if you leave the plastic there after you plant, no water can get to the roots.
The cloches are fine but they're really meant to protect young plants, as opposed to warming larger plants during the growing season. A general note about cloches--the glass ones are tricky since they don't ventilate, and with the cloche alone you have to be very vigilant about regulating the temperature. I personally prefer to cut the bottom off a 2 liter coke bottle and leave the cap off, as an individual cloche for a young plant.
If you would like to try to extend your growing season a little later into October, that can be done--but I would recommend constructing hoop houses or row covers. That will give you much better coverage for an entire row/raised bed, and can help prevent frost-nipped plants that you're not yet ready to surrender to the autumn weather. It might buy you a couple of weeks if you are lucky.
You know Michigan State University has a great agricultural extension service and provides all sorts of "how to garden in Michigan" publications online. If you haven't already done so, you really need to explore their website as all of their information would be specific for your garden. Your local county extension office can also be a big help to you and if they have a Master Gardener Program you can even work with other local gardeners.
I linked their publication on using plastic in the home garden below for you but they also have tips on how to grow all kinds of vegetables in Michigan gardens.
Here is a link that might be useful: Plasticulture For Michigan Vegetable Production
I am not sure why people say to not use black plastic or not to plant through it but my whole garden is covered with black plastic and it works wonders. If I lived where the temps were much higher I would'nt use it but in Mi., for me it works and I will continue to use it. Take a look at some of my pics and you can see the black plastic in my garden.
Here is a link that might be useful: garden pics
BP is a personal choice; some have very strong opinions for or against it. I used it for the first time last year, and loved it!
Pics are below, but here's some thoughts:
Warms soil- CHECK!
Prevents weeds- CHECK!
"Sour" soil underneath: nope, not here.
Water retention: CHECK!
Drainage (to prevent pooling): Poked a few extra holes in the pathways to allow drainage when it rained with a 3/4" aluminum pole. Worked like a charm.
Held down with either rocks, bricks, or my personal favorite: those 3-tier metal tomato cages cut down to rings with 'legs' that I poked down into the plastic.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I LOVE my black plastic. I buy it in 20 x 100 foot rolls at Home Depot or Lowe's. To cover all of my planting beds, it takes about 12 full rolls. Luckily, it lasts about 3 years -- good thing, since the price for that size roll has increased to about $80 the past few years as oil prices spiked.
As state above, it warms the soil, prevents almost all weeds (a few do get through, especially in the 2nd and 3rd years as you get more holes), traps moisture, etc.
I take a drill with about a quarter inch bit, and drill holes all around the roll right through the cardboard box, spacing the holes about 3 to 4 inches apart. This five minute job results in the plastic being studded with thousands of little holes, big enough for good drainage but small enough to prevent weeds from growing through.
IMO, black plastic garbage bags are too flimsy, and probably a lot more expensive per square foot than 6 mil black plastic.
Black plastic mulch doesn't need to be thick to be effective. Actually clear plastic would warm the soil better but then you would have no weed control. I lay a few miles of 4' rolled black plastic every year by tractor pulled plastic layer and wouldn't plant most transplant crops without it. However I would not plant seeds and cover with plastic as mentioned. If you are not transplanting through it cut a "X" slit with a knife and tuck the cut corners under, plant your seed and cover over edges with a little soil to keep wind out and prevent the plastic from smothering your seedlings.
If you have a larger area covered you can either poke holes in the plastic or put drip tape under for water supply to plants. The problem with even small holes is that grass will find the light and before long you may have defeated your purpose of weed control.
If you are serious about season extension consider also using a floating row cover over newly planted crops that are set out a few weeks earlier than last expected frost date. You get the protection of the cloches without the potential hazzard cooking your plants if the sun gets to them before you do.
Well I don't know how to make floating row covers nor do I know what they look like. Also I'm on a very limited budget so I don't think it's an option to make them at this point and time.
Regarding the cloches, I plan to use the 2 liter pop bottles for my seedlings. They're mainly going to be used to protect my seedlings from windy weather; the fact that the cloches act as a mini greenhouse is just a bonus. Should I put holes in the cloches using a drill bit? If so, how many holes per cloche and what would the size of the holes need to be (1/4", 1/2", etc.) I'd like the holes to be big enough that my seedlings won't be overheated but small enough that windy weather won't knock my seedlings down.
The normal rules of gardening don't apply to me, because
I'll be growing things in containers. I'm guessing that the soil will boost the temperature? My main concern is at night; the temperatures during the day are warm enough
that it's not a big issue. However they drop down
to about the mid 40's in the evening.
Where Can I find black plastic that is used for gardening?
How much would I need? I realize this depends on how many containers I have and what the dimensions of the containers are, but I have the dimensions for the containers I have.
Here are the dimensions for each container below:
10 gallon (have 4 of these)
15 gallon (have one of these)
I have a container that is roughly 10 gallons, but slightly smaller so here are the dimensions for it:
Width:14 and a half inches (it will not let me put the back slash so that is why I had to spell it out)
The other containers I have are a 5 gallon circular container and pots that have rims with a diameter of 9" and 10". I don't know the dimensions for these though.
I cannot afford to spend $80 on the black gardening plastic. Can you recommend a place that sells it cheaper? Over the internet is fine, so long as I don't get ripped off with shipping and handling charges.
Most any hardware store or general merchandise store (Meijer, K-mart, Home Depot) will sell 10 x 25 foot rolls of 6 mil black plastic for around $12 to $14. Look in the paint department -- its used for dropcloths, among other things.
Regarding clear plastic -- as the one poster above said, it does NOT keep down the weeds. I put a big section of clear down years ago, when I was first doing this. I figured weeds would grow under it, but it would keep them down. WRONG -- they pushed it up 2 to 3 feet off the ground in some spots. Even though they were half cooked, the weeds just kept growing -- nasty things like pigweeds and sow thistles.
Soil in containers warms up much faster and can get too hot much faster than in-ground beds. So much of the above advice may not apply to you growing in containers. 40 degrees poses no problem for most things as the soil will be warmer than the air. And with plastic containers you will lose some heat out the sides of the containers too, not just the top.
So while you might want to use the plastic trash bags initially you'll need to watch the soil temperatures closely to prevent plant damage once the summer heat arrives.
There's also olive mulch which warms the soil better than black, but still doesn't let the weeds grow.
Here is a link that might be useful: Solar mulch, olive colored
I have black trash bags cut and covering the soil now (I had some left from last year) and I also used black landscaping paper.
My only intent is to heat up the garden faster than the rest of the year prior to me planting.
I'm in zone 5 so any extra heat I can get in the ground earlier would help.
Well in regards to using the black bags or the black roll people are referring to, I'd be using primarily for warm weather vegetables (zucchini, cucumbers, butternut squash, maybe okra, maybe eggplant, green beans, tomatoes, and watermelon).
I realize that cool weather veggies like cool weather but I'm concerned about night time temperatures for cool weather vegetables; that the temperature will drop down too low even for cool weather vegetables.
Another concern is that it will slow germination which will defeat the purpose of growing my cool weather vegetables early.

Stearman: Whirlwind Six Months at Wolves
Saturday, 2nd Feb 2013 06:02
Richard Stearman has reflected on a topsy-turvy time in his career that has seen him join Ipswich on loan for the remainder of the season.
The 25-year-old defender said: "I was hopeful that I would get to play a bit more at Wolves in the past couple of months but I realised I needed to get out and maybe get some games under my belt to improve my match fitness.
"When I heard it was Ipswich and my old gaffer, Mick McCarthy, who were interested I jumped at the opportunity.
"It has been a bit of a whirlwind year, or at least six months, at Wolves I suppose. They are towards the wrong end of the table from where they expected to be and a new manager has come in and gone.
"I think they've got a little bit of a hangover from the Premiership relegation, so fingers crossed they can turn it round and climb the table, as I hope Ipswich do as well."
Apart from McCarthy and his assistant, Terry Connor, Stearman said he knows several members of the Portman Road playing squad.
He added: "I was with Frank [Nouble] at Wolves, played with Lee [Martin] for England and generally you get to know players from playing against each other. When I walked into the dressing room I saw a lot of friendly and familiar faces.
"Ipswich is a massive club with a great fan base and whenever I've played here it's always been a great atmosphere. It's a great set-up here and hopefully I'll enjoy my time."

Being born in 1999, and with my first game at Portman Road coming at the age of six, I have skipped the Town's most recent stint in top flight football a mere 13 seasons ago. This, as is expected, suggests that I have never seen glory in my time as a football fan.
Ten Games, Ten Honest Questions by JollyJourno

Profanity at craft shows
I'm on another forum, and a poster said the following:
I made some subversive message bead-bracelets to sell. They have cuss words and for-adults-only sayings (use your imagination).
So far I have only sold them to some girlfriends- and they're a hit. But I'd like to sell them at craft shows and a street fair I am participating in over the Summer- where I am sure there will be kids present.
My question/Need Advice: How should I display them as NOT to offend anyone- and hide them from kids eyes...but still have them visible enough to sell?
My Display Idea: I was planning on taking an old wood crate and putting a pin-up girl image on it with a little sign that says "For Adults Only" or....something like that?
Also, I have placed each bracelet in a little cellophane bag -they're not "loose".
Personally I find this garbage to be offensive, and I was told by the moderator it isn't.
What say you?
I agree completely... I can't imagine the show directors will allow it - it doesn't belong where families are present! One alternative is to have a sign - "ask me about....." Then have a business card with the URL of a website (it can be facebook) where they can go. It doesn't belong at a show... I was next to a t-shirt booth that had F - you on them - they were asked to leave when I brought it up to the people in charge... We have to think with our brains sometimes rather than the almighty $$$.
You copied a post from another forum to this forum. Are you asking if that original post was offensive? Unless they also posted pictures of the items I think they worded their question pretty delicately to avoid offending anyone.
As for their question, I agree with sunny and bonnie, I wouldn't want to see the items out in the open.

Background Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory skin disease with abscess formation and scarring predominantly in the inverse areas. The disease is often difficult to treat and patients experience a decreased quality of life (QoL). It is hypothesized that depression is more common in HS patients than among other dermatological patients.
Objectives To evaluate the prevalence of depression in patients with HS.
Methods In total 211 HS patients were included in the study and 233 were dermatological control patients. Their QoL and depression scores were assessed using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and the Major Depression Inventory (MDI) questionnaires. HS severity was recorded with a questionnaire and Hurley stages were extracted from the case records.
Results The DLQI was significantly higher for HS patients than for the control patients, 8.4 ± 7.5 vs. 4.3 ± 5.6 (P < 0.0001) and correlated with Hurley stage severity scores. Mean MDI scores were significantly higher for HS patients, 11.0 vs. 7.2 (P < 0.0001). However, clinically defined depression rates according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) criteria were not significantly higher in HS patients compared to controls (9% vs. 6%).
Conclusions HS is a chronic skin disease with major impact on QoL even when compared to other dermatological diseases. MDI scores in HS patients correlate with disease severity. This correlation could indicate that the MDI represents a valid measure of disease related morbidity that may serve as an outcome measure in future studies and a relevant point of intervention for individual patients.

Hugh Smibert the Man that started it all
Condolences to the Smibert family for the loss of Hugh Smibert. The father of Microsprint racing in Ontario, Hugh was the man that started our friday night local dirt track Wonderland Speedway . Everyone that has ever raced with Hugh or known him will always remember a hard working , kind and overall great individual. From 1983 to 2014 Wonderland Speedway was a regular hot spot for action drawing thousands of racers and fans to Smiland Farms to the delite of Hugh. He always seemed to have a smile on his face when racing was on the bill as he and the Smibert family welcomed us all every week with open arms. As a racer and organizer Hugh always tried to put the best product of Microsprint racing on the track and he will surely be missed. From everyone who ever turned a lap, sat in a lawn chair, cheered for our favorite driver, booed who we didn't like, had a great burger or hotdog and maybe had a "pop" or two at Wonderland Speedway - many thanks to the Great Hugh Smibert for the man he was and the dream he had.
Hugh Smiberts Visitation will be friday 2-5 pm at the Lambeth Funeral home
The celebration of life will be from 2-5 at the Stoneridge Inn
Saturday September 20th-100 lap Fall Classic
The Fall classic 100 lap features. the day started off looking like it was gonna be rained out after a quick shower of rain. Luckly after the rain gave way the drivers got to do what they do best. The micros Qualifying was won by David Rockwood and the Outlaw qualifying was won by kyle watters both by posting the fastest lap time in their respective classes. The micro feature was first and after an early battle for the lead between Rockwood #90 and Newell #9 Newell took the lead due to a part failure to the 90 and never looked back. The outlaw feature was fast paced After a long 67 lap green flag run to start the race kyle watters had lapped everyone but the second place car of holly porter but the caution at lap 67 was brought out by a mechanical failure to the #91 of Watters which gave porter the lead and she ran away from the field and took home the win. The truck invitational had a turn out of 6 trucks and gave some goood side by side racing the #21 of Kevin Stark won both heat races and in the feature a late race charge by the #19 of Chris Watters gave him the feature win. A great year of racing by all the drivers and crews that came out to our little slice of dirt racing .
Wonderland Speedway will be having fireworks and having a corn roast on friday September 26th.
Keep visiting our website for news of the year end banquet, Winter race meeting and all other information for next years racing events.
A special thanks from the races goes to our flagmen, scoring crew, the entire smibert family for giving us all a track to race at every summer, Norm and the track maintance team for watering the track and fixing thing up during their own time through out the week, the girls at the gate and the snack shack for their help in getting the racing going. Also Wonderland Speedway would like to thank Chestermans, 5150 speedway and auto fusion towing for helping with a push car .

DEFINITION of 'Index Divisor'
A number used in the denominator of the ratio between the total value of an index and the index divisor. The number, which typically has little mathematical rationale behind it, remains consistent and therefore enables comparability within the index over time.
How the value of the index is computed depends on the type of index under consideration.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Index Divisor'
An index divisor is a crucial number in the calculation of the value of an index. It is the basis for comparability across time, and the starting point for adjustments that need to be made due to changes in the equity composition of the underlying companies in the index.
Some of the adjustments that may need to be made to the divisor include changes in the number of shares floated by a company, any rights offerings made to employees or management, and any share repurchases.

Nunu jungle? Huehue
Was wondering if anyone can tell me how they like to run nunu jungle. I really like to counter jungle with my junglers. I'm a mid 1200 elo player.
Currently I like to play Lee Sin and Olaf and was wondering how nunu compares to these two as far as clear times?
Also, does anyone know of a database which lists junglers according to clear speeds for the first few minutes of the game? I'd really like it if anyone can show me.
Also, I play these junglers as well, so feel free to compare to them if you would like:
Fiddle, Udyr, Lee Sin, Olaf, Nocturne, Jax, Alistar, Shaco, Malphite, Mundo,
Nunu is easily one of the fastest junglers, probably second only to Shyvana(who is the only jungler I actively try to counterjungle with).
I start nunu boots ward, don't even need pots, then go wolves -> blue ->wraiths -> golems ->red, which is my standard route. I don't usually go for level 2 ganks, because I like to have both W and E for that, and I start Q, so I don't have both of those until 3. I also take W second for mobility and the increased attack speed, and it lasts exactly as long as its cooldown, so it can be used constantly from level 2.
Hope this helps.
Nunu actually isn't that fast at clearing, he's only fast at counter jungling. After you burn consume, you have no aoe to clear the lesser minions. Mundo is much faster.
Shyvana, Mundo, Olaf, Pheonix Udyr, and a few other AoE junglers are going to be considerably faster than him.
Nunu's kit isn't great at clearing but is great at counter-jungling. He can easily consume something big and important and really, the only jungler that can prevent his Consume + Smite steal is jungle Cho'Gath. Plus, he is rather slippery with his constant blood boil and low cooldown slow.
Nunu has one of my favorite enemy Red starts. Open boot with ward (and a pot) or three pots if you don't want to ward the enemy jungle. Consume enemy Wraith. Consume+smite enemy Red buff (will need to do some melee). Decide if you want to gank or not. Take a level 2 Snowball (and your pot) if you are ganking, otherwise just go blood boil. Regardless of how you opened, you should have had a pot and consumed it and that should be enough health for you to solo your own blue. If you opened three pots, then you'll be a bit safer healthwise and can safely gank once you finish your stuff. If you opened with just one pot and a ward, you probably will have to be more careful.
Mostly do it against blue dependent junglers. Like Amumu and Skarner.
Yeah, I just ran a custom and a normal as nunu. His clears were okish, but he wasn't zooming through anything as I thought he would. I agree with the counter jungling statement a lot. I don't think I'm going to be using him that much tho because I noticed his late game damage really fell of hard. He still has utility with his slow and his speed buff, but if my team is derping that utility will go to waste. I think i'll try him when (if) I get to higher elos where people don't derp as much, but for now I think I'm going to stick with Olaf and Lee as my main junglers. Ty for posts.
If you're with a team or higher elo, nunu's lategame is godlike. It's like adding a permanent phantom dancer to your ad carry, a perma slow to whoever is in range, AMAZING teamfight disruption with ult, and legendary baron/drag steals.
True, Nunu definitely cannot carry late game. But he can make a pretty big impact early-mid game. Hopefully, you'll have someone worth blood boiling late game. I've had games where I just got a lane fed and just blood boiled my way to victory.
Only thing scarier than a fed solo top Olaf is a fed solo top Olaf that is blood boiled. With enough CDR, you can blood boil your initiator really early, and then blood boil your ADC when the fight actually happens.

New life for dying road in Vista
City has plans to fix flooding and improve the look of S. Santa Fe
To streamline future development, the city is buying small parcels to be assembled into large footprints. The city is developing a land-use plan with preapproved projects and will pay for an environmental impact report for the whole area. That will mean fewer obstacles for developers if they agree to build what the city wants.
Rawlings is negotiating with three developers and hopes to complete agreements in the summer. "It's really exciting," he said. "Right now, even in these difficult economic times, we have people focused on developing there."
Bret Schanzenbach, interim executive director of the Vista Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber has long advocated for transforming South Santa Fe to a pedestrian-friendly destination, and "we're happy to see that redevelopment is moving along those lines now."
The city wants to keep in place successful mom-and-pop businesses that have managed to survive, such as the Peppertree Frosty, lumberyards and auto-repair shops, Rawlings said.
And there's one new business: the bright-yellow Sonic Drive-In that opened in November on Main Street at the north end of the corridor. It was so busy in the first few weeks that traffic controllers had to create lanes for waiting cars in a nearby dirt lot.

I'm interested in Bethany Hamilton's story. I think it will be a nice, inspirational film. Plus, AnnaSophia Robb is going to be playing her, she is one of my top young actresses in Hollywood. I think she has a promising career.

I've been over the documentation several times now (http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.1.4/scala/remoting.html) and through the example here (https://github.com/akka/akka/tree/master/akka-samples/akka-sample-remote) and through others, and I still can't figure out how to do what I want to do. The closest answer I've found is this: how to start remote actors in scala, but it seems much more inconvenient than I'd think it would be.
I have a cluster of 12 machines to work on. I would like to something along the lines of:
val system = ActorSystem("DistributedSystem", ConfigFactor.load.getConfig("distsys"))
val master = system.actorOf(Props(new Master(...)), "master")
and then inside of the master, something along the lines of:
override def preStart() = {
for (i <- 0 until 11) {
// I want each of these actors to be created remotely on
// a different machine
context.actorOf(Props(new RemoteChild(...)), s"child$i")
It seems like this would be a reasonably common use case. Is there something I'm missing, or is there a good way to do this (in terms of what my configuration should look like, or how many ActorSystems I really need)? I'm just struggling to synthesize a good solution right now.

My husband and I stayed at the Staybridge Suites for 4 days in April, and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The hotel rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and each room had a kitchenette, including a full fridge, microwave, 2-burner stove, and a kitchen sink. There was a convenience store right across the parking lot for picking up any snacks/drinks, and the room we stayed in was nice and quiet. The pool looked nice, although we didn't have time to use it, and the staff was very friendly. The best thing (in my opinion) was the breakfast buffet! They had a large array of options including eggs, sausage, hash browns, biscuits, french toast, fresh fruit, yogurt, waffles, bagels, toast, cereal, oatmeal, juice, coffee, etc. It was fantastic! They tended to run out of food quickly if you didn't get there early, but the staff was more than willing to restock if you asked them. A great stay overall!

Nelly Moser flowers have formed fluffy seeds
Would these be viable to plant? And, must I trim ol' Nelly down before the winter? The stem and leaves are completely brown by now.
The fluffy seed heads may contain some seeds that are mature and some that are immature. The bigger and browner the seed the more likely it is to be mature.
Nelly Moser is a group 2 clematis which means that early spring bloom will be on the previous season's growth. If yours was recently planted it can be cut back in the late fall as newly planted clematis do best if cut back hard the first year or two to help establish root growth. If it is already established it is good to wait until early spring to see how far die back is and only trim back that far. In my area die back can be severe then needs to be cut way back but in other areas there is little die back so little pruning is needed.
Some do not like to look at brown vines or just want to make pruning easier and cut Group 2 clematis back hard in the late fall after there is no chance of fresh growth. This may result in fewer spring blossoms or later blooming.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
A new house by the ocean with sweeping views of the sea and to the mountains. The house is 30-35 minutes drive from Reykjavík, in a quiet and peaceful location only 50meters from the sea.
Three bedrooms;
two double beds: one double size/one king size
and one single bed.
There is a fully equipped kitchen, a great dining area / living room, with spectacular view.
A nice bathroom with tub and shower. All linen and towels included.
There is a high-speed Wi-fi connection.
Outside the kitchen there is a cosy terrace where you can drink your morning coffee and enjoy the dawn.
Extremely wide birdlife; moorland birds, seabirds, ducks, geese, ravens, ptarmigan and occasionally you can see eagles and owls. In wintertime, depends on the weather, you might get lucky and see the northern lights dancing in the sky above the house.
In the surrounding area there is i.e. the waterfall Glymur (the highest waterfall of Iceland 196 m) Þingvellir National Park, horse rental, swimming pool and good opportunities for hiking tours. There is quick accessibility to main roads and this is superb location for 'The golden circle' and more day trips to the south and west of Iceland.
I do not book the house with more than 4 months in advance.
The house is modern, well equipped and in excellent condition. It is well insulated, partly floor heated and has large glass fronts to the Hvalfjörður that offer a stunning view which keeps changing with the light and the weather. The owner is friendly and helpful, we had a nice contact. The place is suitably located for day trips to Reykjavík, the Golden Circle and the Snæfellsnes peninsula. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to come again.
We stayed here for 3 nights, and cannot fault anything about the house. It's a beautiful house, beautifully furnished and cared for, with everything you could possibly want or need in a holiday home.
Jona, the owner, was very helpful and friendly in advising about the house and the surrounding area.
The house is in a stunning location on the shores of the fjord, and is perfectly located for Reykjavik and for some of the main tourist spots.
We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and hope to visit Iceland again in the future, partly on the back of such a wonderful stay.
We stayed in this home over the Christmas holidays and loved every minute. The views are amazing, the house is very clean and roomy, and Jóna went above and beyond for us when our flight was delayed. We hope to visit again!
This is the best house I've been to!!! It's so amazing that I don't wanna leave.
The house is well decorated and well equiped, especially the kitchen! There is everything you want. Perfect for traveler to cook, to save money. My friends and I love it so much.
The view around the house is so beautiful that you can just stay there and do nothing. It's quiet and peaceful. I love sitting in the couch to read, listening to CD and enjoying the sunrise. It's so relaxing!
The position is good, not far away from downtown. Just about 30 mins drive. It's convenient. But as not in downtown, it's more quiet and you may be able to see northern light right in the house!!!
And the most important thing is that, the house owner, Jóna, she's so nice and considerate! She gave us all information and even sent us email telling us we may see northern light in the house!
I wish I could go Iceland, this beautiful country soon. And I will definitely stay in Jóna's house again!
I stayed in this home for a week in September. The property's description is entirely accurate and the owner went out of her way to be helpful and accommodating both before and during my stay. As other reviewers have noted, there aren't words to describe the beauty and serenity of this home. I chose the space for two reasons: 1) as a haven to accomplish creative work and 2) as a base for touring Iceland. The home could not have proven more perfect for both purposes. Highlights inside the house include a clean, thoughtful and every-thing-you-could-possibly-need design, sweeping views of the sea, and an utter tranquility created by the owner's own creative spirit. Highlights beyond the house include: a remote seaside setting, walkable (stone) beaches, quick accessibility to main roads, proximity to Reykjavik, and a chance to see the Northern Lights in your own backyard! From start to finish, this home and its wonderful owner proved welcoming in every way. If you are lucky, then one day you will spend some time in Iceland. If you are twice lucky, you will spend some of that time in this home. Already I am dreaming of how I can return.
A fantastic house - very clean, modern, all amenities and stunning views. The house was the perfect location for our visit to west Iceland.
The owner was wonderful - easy and clear communication, helpful, welcoming.
I highly recommend staying here!

These decisions typically result in significant investments of time and money, and long-term relationships with core software vendors.Because of this, the process for arriving at a vendor decision must be sound. We believe that there are two critical success factors for any system selection project: objectivity and broad buy-in.The vendor decision must be based on objective criteria rather than a subjective, "gut feel" point-of-view. Software should be evaluated against a set of requirements established through a detailed evaluation of current-state processes and future-state objectives.In addition, the selection decision-making process must involve the correct people so that it is viewed as a sound decision and is widely accepted throughout the organization. Because implementation requires significant support and commitment from multiple departments and individuals, an organization cannot afford to have key resources who feel that the vendor selection was done without appropriate input.Our approach to system selection projects accomplishes these success factors. Our approach is based on years of experience gained in dozens of successful projects.
