The O'Fallon Police Department issued a press release Wednesday afternoon about a theft from a McDonald's restaurant in O'Fallon.
Police say that on August 20, a woman wearing a McDonald's uniform entered the McDonald's at 1001 McDonald Lane near I-70 and stole money from the cash register. The suspect then exited the building.
The suspect is described as medium build, 5'9" tall with short curly hair.
Police are looking for late 90s Buick Park Avenue, dark in color with a silver trunk, as a vehicle of interest in the case.

Many are wondering what is going on in the world of the San Antonio Spurs and how their players are doing during this offseason. Manu Ginobili went on an interview with his native Argentina, and their newspaper, La Nación.
It was a candid interview and he opened up about many things. For the first time in his career, Ginobili discusses how he felt weak, and his thoughts on retirement after the Finals.
Manu Ginobili gave some candid answers in this interview with Argentine newspaper La Nación. Below is the translation taken from that interview. (H/T Pounding the Rock)
You've spent the last few years making decisions on the court, sometimes risky and inadvisable ones. How was the process of deciding between retiring and keep playing?
By the end of the season–and I mean the regular season and not the playoffs– I thought about it a lot. I was so tired of it. I hadn't suffered a muscle strain in my whole life and I went through three in four months. I felt negative, fed up. And I thought about retiring. I hadn't come close to making up my mind but I thought it was something I had to discuss with my wife, "what if…?" She told me that it was my decision and she was fine either way. But when I recovered physically I started to feel better about it all. When the season ended I grieved for 48, 72 hours and I didn't feel retired. I knew something was missing, that I still wanted to play.
During those talks with your wife, how did you imagine the future after you retired? Where you dreading the decision?
I thought I could definitely take a year off, to relax, for sure. Call it basketball detox. Spend a lot of time here, in Argentina. And then, with the game over, figure out where to go from there. But at that point I just felt like saying "that's it, enough of having to get in shape constantly, enough of the pressure, of thinking about whether my leg can take it. I want to be at peace, with my wife and my kids. Travel and get to know different places, which is something I never got to do." That's what I was thinking about then. But then that changes and you realize you'll have time for that. The fire is still there when I play and I want to enjoy that.
What was weighing on you? Because you clearly weren't and aren't tired of basketball
The physical part. Having to keep rehabilitating and getting in shape after injuries. Having to play with the parking break on because I'm coming back from a muscle strain. That wore me out and it was hard. I have a great time when I'm healthy and playing, I feel lucky playing with the team and coaching staff I play for. But the physical problems drained me.
This year, like never before, you looked weak
A lot of times this year I've been told I looked weak, vulnerable, fragile. I have no reason to hide. I'm no less of a man for feeling that way or for having played poorly. Yes, so what's the problem? I will be criticized? Fine. I swear I gave everything I had and I tried to win, like I always have. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. I won't blush or feel embarrassed for saying it. I felt vulnerable and I expressed it. I didn't have a reason not to. It's true. It was the first time I've felt that way.
How was it like living with criticism for the first time in your career?
Strange. You usually read things in the newspaper or hear them through other people. But during the playoffs, for example, I'm isolated, bulletproof. I don't read anything, don't watch highlights, nothing. At first those criticisms didn't reach me, I only had to deal with my own. I knew how I was playing and what I can give the team. But when I started to get questions in a specific tone, that's when I realized: "Something must be happening. I'm being criticized. Otherwise, they wouldn't ask me that." I started to realize that they were saying I wasn't playing at my level and it was weird. Especially in the playoffs. It had happened in other times of the season, when I was injured and they were saying that it wasn't the same, that the best of Ginobili was in the past. This time it was during the playoffs. It was weird and it hurt. Because I have a well developed ego and, like I said, I was always proud to say I never under-performed in the playoffs. I had that credibility in my career. So when that happened this season, it hurt.
Are you motivated by criticism?
Yeah, a little bit. I can't say it works all the time. Because the truth is I couldn't make shots throughout the playoffs. I wanted to run over everyone and everything and I couldn't. When things were at their worst, after games four and six, I came back and had my best games. So it helped at times but I couldn't sustain that determination, that anger.
So are you energized by anger?
Yes. And I realized then and there. But there were other times when I couldn't summon it. The times I played facing that anger, I did well. But then I would let my guard down and couldn't sustain it. It was very frustrating and painful, because I used to have that fuel, an engine that would never stop and I couldn't find that in these playoffs. Anger invariably generates determination.
Do you think this team will be remembered despite the loss?
No, long term, it won't be. But we, the ones who were part of it, will remember it because there can't be such a thin line between frustration and ecstasy. It wouldn't be logical. You try to find solace in that. But those that weren't there, those looking at a history of the results of the finals won't remember it. They'll see we were as good as Seattle or Utah were when they lost to the Chicago Bulls.
And did that influenced your decision to keep going? Evening up the score?
I don't feel like I'm coming back looking for revenge. I'm coming back because I enjoy myself when I'm healthy. When I'm injured– that's when I want to end it and do something else. When I'm healthy and I'm playing 30 minutes a game with no injury concerns I do it for the pleasure of playing with Duncan, Parker and Popovich. I have fun, I feel as passionate about it as ever. It's not that I want to go after Lebron or get my shooting percentage back to 40%–or whatever it was. It has nothing to do with revenge.
And how do you imagine your life after retirement?
I feel curious about a number of fields, but I don't really know for sure what I'll do. I'm a guy that has a lot of interests, at different levels. I would like to stay connected with basketball, at some capacity. But not full time. I think because of my vast experience in so many places and having been involved with a franchise like the Spurs I have enough credibility to share my experiences and projects in a different field but I still haven't figured out how.
I didn't translate some of the questions (about fatherhood, living in Argentina, plans about potentially getting into politics, etc.) that followed because they didn't really had to do with anything basketball or Spurs related. I included this following one because I found the answer funny in its candidness.
Has it ever been hard to be seen as a role model?
Yes. I'm lucky enough I don't have to work hard to avoid screwing up, getting in trouble. But there are times in which you don't want to be bothered. It happens to everyone. You want to be left alone. I'm with my sons at a park and someone asks for a picture–it's not the right time. They are taking me away from my time with them. But that's when you realize that the kid asking for that photo has great memories of watching you play and that 15 second contact will be all that he will ever remember about you. How you interact in that time is imprinted in his memory. So it's unfair but you make an effort. I first heard that coming from Michael Jordan. I picture myself in that situation. If I had seen Jordan in 92, first I would have peed my pants and then I would have gone and say hello and that exchange would have stayed with me for life.

To qualify, the songs here had to fit these criteria: The artist performing it had to actually appear quite greasy The lyrical content had to be horny on a cartoonish level.

Jordan Had To Start Somewhere

Before MJ was selling shoes & Hanes, he was hawking hair care products. I hope "Ultra Star" isn't the reason he's bald now. If so, it proved great for marketing since Michael Jordan was the undisputed king of the shaved scalp back in those days. I love that "Martin" from the Cosby Show, a.k.a. "Wayman [...]

I was recently in a street fight, wielding a monkey wrench. Thankfully, it was just a promo video for my friend Martin Amini's comedy night as opposed to a real battle. If it had been real, I would not be here confessing to committing such a violent felony in print on a blog. I'd probably be on the run somewhere. That, or [...]

I'm sick and tired of the damn TV
I'm gonna make my own movie
I wanna star in a late night show
And all I need is my video
Shock me, make it electric
Shock me, make it last
Curtain up let the camera roll
It's automatic, it's in control
Got no script baby, ain't no lines
Just me and you and a real good time, oh
Shock me, make it electric
Shock me, make it last
Shock me, gimme thunder and lightning
Shock me, oh babe I need it fast
'Cause all I need is some
Action, action, action, not words
Gimme action, action, action not words
Come on and shock me
Let the cameras roll
I'll be the hero, you be the star
With your wine and your caviar
No audition, a starring roll
I'll be your Bogart and you be Monroe, yeah
Shock me, make it electric
Shock me, oh bump and grind
Shock me, make a night to remember
Shock me, do it one more time
So cut me in on the action
Lights, camera, sound
I need action
Action, action, gimme action not words
Let the camera roll
Action, action, action not words
I need a little

Well, shake a little piece of your
Action, action, action not words
Come on, talk to me with your body

easy to useCons: Very Laggy when changing screens

Touchy Charger
Randomly dies then decides to turn on a day or 2 laterSummary: The first few weeks i had this phone i had no complaints. Then the load time to get from any app back to the home screen went from a few seconds to a few minutes. Then i had to start applying some TLC when pluging in the charger or it wouldn't charge at all. After that things just got worse, trying to load apps took minutes at a time, sending texts turned into a chore as it took FOREVER just to load the messages, i only send/recieve about 700-800 a month, never keep any after 2 months, and limit storage to 250 per sender so it should be a memory issue. Finally the worst 'con' happened; on a full charge, it died and refused to turn on or respond at all to the charger being inserted. I pulled the battery attempted to hard factory reset it and no response. I was literally abot an hour away from going to the verizon store when it turned back on simply by hiting the power on. the next few days it was back to its old laggy self, when it decided it didn't want to work any more. Its been about 48 hours since it passed away. i'll update this if it decides to pull a Jesus after 3 days, but if not this review will stand and i'll be forced into getting a new phone. Thanks for reading!

Born in 1910 in New York City, Arthur Jacob Arshawsky, better known to the world as Artie Shaw, went on to become one of the best clarinetists in American music history. Brigitte Berman uses interviews with Shaw, his colleagues, and his last wife Evelyn Keyes to provide needed insights. These are supplemented by Shaw's music and clips from two of the films from the late '30s in which he played himself. Forthright and upbeat, Shaw has weathered many hardships well -- he is best known for the seven wives...more

I see that your poster is sold out, is there any way that you can send me a digital file if I swear it's for my own personal use?
Hahaha...Hahaha...haha...ha...next question.
My band/company/quadriplegic dog walking service wants art, can we commission you?
Yes, definitely. I have been a freelance illustrator since 2005, and I regularly take commissioned work from various clients and the occasional South American dictator (*cough* Robo-Noriega *cough*). At times my schedule can get quite busy, so I can't take on everyone's projects. If you are interested in commissioning me for work, please use the contact sidebar button to send me as much information about your project as possible with details like description, deadline, quantity, budget, etc.
I wanted to purchase a print from your online store but it's sold out, how can I get it?
You can't. All my prints are limited editions (hence the signing and numbering) and I never do reprints/second editions. Once an item sells out in my online store, I don't have additional prints to sell. You can promise as many fatted calfs, acres of land and/or indentured servants as you like, but if I'm sold out I can't produce something out of nothing.
I'm an aspiring illustrator/designer/printer/stunt double for strippers, can I please get some pointers?
I really think it's great that you have such high hopes and ambitious dreams! I share a lot of what I know on my blog and process videos, so be sure to check those out. If you still haven't found what you were looking for, please feel free to send me some quick questions and I'll be more than happy to help you. As you are submitting your question(s) please keep them limited and make sure they are specific. Just know that I'm more than willing to help you along, but if a google search of your question reveals the answer on the first few pages, the best response you can hope for is just a link to the search results on google. Unfortunately I can't coach your entire illustration/design career.
Can you give me contact information for bands?
The bands really really want me to give out their personal information, but I don't because of numerous character flaws I exhibit such as avarice and pettiness.
How do you get your clients?
I set out traps and use my website as the bait.
How is your work printed?
My posters and prints are all screen printed. I used to screen print by myself, however lately I've been hiring out in order to keep up with my busy workload. I truly enjoy screen printing, both as a process and as an end result, so I stay closely involved with the printers I work with.
I like the art on your latest poster but I don't like the band/movie, can I get an art print of that?
Occasionally (but not always) I do make art prints. If an art print is available it would be announced right away during the initial sale. I don't re-release prints in any form and an art print is not something I would make upon request.
I like a certain poster, can you offer it in different sizes i.e. wallet-sizes?
With screen printed and limited edition work, it's not feasible to offer in different sizes due to the nature of the printing process and the limited run. When the prints first drop on my site, any available sizes (if any) would be announced from the beginning. I tend to use standard frame sizes like 18x24 and 24x36 for most of my work.
Is your work official?
Yes. I work directly with bands and clients to create work that is officially commissioned/licensed.
Do you work digitally or traditionally?
When it comes to the creative process, it's helpful to understand that it's never one way or the other. When asking yes or no, boxers or briefs, Picard or Kirk type questions about the creative process, the answer is usually both because creative professionals will usually do what it takes to get the job done. That being said, I use both techniques and enjoy the challenge of blending them together as seamlessly as possible.
Do you ever sell/display your posters at live events?
Yes! Every year I do as many live events as I can such as Flatstock, Renegade Craft Fair, and Unique LA. I'm at the booth to meet and greet and I usually bring most of, if not all of the posters I have for sale, including ones that are not available online.
I want to watch you while you sleep, how can I contact you directly?
Sounds great, but since I rarely sleep, watching that would be a teaser at best. The contact form is located on the contact button on the left side of my website. I respond to all emails personally and I try to get back to everyone as soon as possible, with the exception of Nigerian princes.

ParaFoam cannot open icoFoam/cavity case
Hi there,
After installing OpenFoam and ParaView (and the necessary checks according to the installation manual), I successfully ran the icoFoam/cavity case. ParaFoam opens the case but as soon as the data is loaded, the software kicks me out and returns the following message: Cannot find file "cellZones" in directory "constant/polyMesh" From function Time::findInstance(const word& dir, const word& name) in file db/Time/findInstance.C at line 133. FOAM exiting This file is indeed not present in the mentioned directory. Does anyone encountered the same problem and knows the solution to this problem? Many thanks in advance. Regards, Bob |
problem solved
The problem is solved. I stupidly selected the wrong data to import... Sorry for bothering you all with this! Cheers, Bob |

TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings
TEAMS: Minnesota Vikings
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. League-leading receiver Percy Harvin missed Wednesday's practice with a badly sprained ankle, and the Minnesota Vikings are still not sure whether he will be ready to play Sunday when they host Detroit.
Harvin, who has an NFL-high 62 receptions for 677 yards and three touchdowns, was injured during the third quarter of last week's 30-20 loss at Seattle. A defender rolled on the back of his left ankle while he was tackled. Harvin said Monday the joint was sprained in three places and admitted it is a "long shot" that he'll be able to play this week.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said Harvin and starting defensive tackle Letroy Guion (turf toe) would be held out of Wednesday's practice. Frazier said Harvin is showing improvement and that he is hoping to have Harvin on the practice field by Friday.
An MRI on Monday confirmed Harvin didn't have any fractures or additional damage but did show the three separate sprains. He said he felt he originally had a more serious injury, that he was "done" when hurt in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Harvin later returned after having the ankle retaped, but the joint became more painful and was swelling after the game and on the flight home.
On Monday, Harvin was in the locker room on crutches, and there's a chance the team could rest him this week with a bye coming up.
"I'm in a lot of pain," Harvin said Monday. "There's a lot of swelling right now. My whole ankle, all the way around, is swollen. So we've got a lot of work to do."
In addition to his league-leading 62 catches, Harvin is sixth in receiving yardage and owns the league's top kickoff return average (35.9). Punt returner Marcus Sherels would likely fill in as the team's kickoff returner, and rookie fourth-round draft pick Jarius Wright could get his first game time of the regular season if Harvin isn't ready to go.
Speedy but short in stature like Harvin, Wright has been on the 53-man roster all season but has been inactive on game days. Frazier said Wright could factor into the game plan if Harvin isn't ready and said Wright needs to prepare as such.
"They are very similar in a lot of ways, and the way we would use him is similar to the way we use Percy if he ends up playing on Sunday," Frazier said.
Wright has been waiting for his chance but knows filling Harvin's shoes is a tough request.
"It's not too many people that can get in there and fill Percy's role," Wright said, later adding: "Me personally, I feel like it is an opportunity to crack the door. I've been patiently waiting, and if they feel like I'm ready, I feel like I'm ready also."

Combination products challenge categories
The first issue FDA asks itself when confronted with a new drug-device-biologic combination is, 'Which of our departments will regulate it, the drug folks at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, or the device folks at the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, or the biological folks at the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research?'
They figure out what they think is the component product that provides the overall product's "primary mode of action," and assign the combination product to that agency center.
Talk to Michael Drues, PhD, about combination products, which he has worked on for 20 years or so, and you start to appreciate both the promise and the roadblocks. Dr. Drues is president of Vascular Sciences of Grafton, MA, a consultant to drug, device, and biological product companies on product development and design, technology assessment, and regulatory affairs, and he also consults regularly with FDA.
He thinks FDA's approach of assigning a lead center according to a product's primary mode of action is actually a problem. "We're trying to take these new technologies and spin them to fit into one of these old 'silos,'" he says, instead of finding ways to modify the regulatory model. When he calls those traditional product definitions "silos," he means narrow categories with boundaries.
Instead, he says amend the law and regulations to tailor a regulatory pathway for combinations, rather than trying to force them into the old categories, and that will encourage them to be developed, he says. Right now, the uncertainty can discourage development.
"It's a huge problem," he says. He makes the analogy to the intellectual property field: If you have a hot new product but the path forward is unclear as to whether you can patent it, you might decide not to pursue it.
In the same way, Drues says, some really exciting and promising medical technologies are being thwarted before they begin, simply because it's not clear to the companies involved how the technologies would be regulated, what they'd have to prove to get them approved, and so on.
Food packaging companies may remember a similar pattern before the Food Contact Notification program was put in place. Packaging makers were reluctant to develop any product that would require a Food Additive Petition due largely to the uncertain timing of such petitions. By contrast, the FCN program has a predictable 120-day review time (and exclusivity for the notifier, to boot).
And Drues can point to some truly Brave New World possibilities on the horizon. He describes an ultimate combination of a drug, device and biological product, referred to as tissue engineering. You'd combine growing tissues, which are a biological product; a housing or tray to hold it during growth, which is a device; and the tissue creates a therapeutic protein or other chemical, a drug.
Looking ahead, more category or "silo" challenges can be expected. Drues thinks devices to deliver dietary supplements with beneficial health effects, or even traditional foods, could be in our future.
And it won't just be the regulators who will be facing challenges to know how to address these new types of products—also packagers. He says, with disarming understatement and a pun, "These problems will force them to think outside the box." Or the silo.

By Clay LePard
Is there too much alcohol in downtown Davenport? Davenport city leaders will take a closer look next week at preventing any new liquor stores from opening downtown.
And bar owners say it's about time to cut them off.
"You get that many liquor stores in one area, it's asking for a lot of loitering of people we don't want down here," says Tim Court, owner of Club Privilege.
Tim Court is one month away from opening his new club. And he says with three other bars already within a block of him and more package stores on the way, enough is enough.
"There's just too many," he explains.
The proposed halt on liquor stores would extend from Marquette Street all the way to Federal Street and as far up as 6th Street.
"We're starting to see liquor stores popping up on too many corners," says Bill Boom, Davenport Alderman.
Alderman Bill Boom, who is also a bar owner, says it's a balancing act deciding on new businesses for a neighborhood. And right now, that fine line is getting blurry.
"When you start seeing so many of [new businesses] as liquor stores, it attracts an element that can harm neighborhoods and that's what I'm seeing in this case."
But some locals say you have to be careful how tough you make the rules. "Obviously if you have less places, it's going to be busier," says Aaron Lopez.
The proposed freeze would only last through September, when city leaders say they will have a better chance to take a step back and assess the situation.
The concept will be discussed by a city council committee on Wednesday.

How Music Works
Press Pass All-Access Series: Greg Kot with David Byrne and Bettina Richards.
In his latest book since the best-selling Bicycle Diaries, David Byrne takes on the role of musical historian and anthropologist as he dissects how, exactly, music has been shaped through time and place. Ranging in scope from Wagnerian opera houses to African villages to birdsongs in San Francisco, Byrne's How Music Works is a guided tour of the business, physics and joys of music. One of the most brilliant artists of our time, Byrne's writing, honed from a life of musical experience, will be remembered as one of the most enlightening books on the subject in a long, long time.

January 2014
After three series novels (The Outback Stars, 2007; The Stars Down Under, 2008; The Stars Blue Yonder, 2009), McDonald fields a first collection that comes close to being another novel. In it the paths of three characters cross and converge, though in some stories, none of them appears. Foremost among them is the commanding figure of Diana Comet, who is young, mature, and maturer, respectively, in three stories; absent but influential in another; incognito in two more. Cubby Salaman is a 12-year-old runaway in two tales, later a vigorous young man aboard a ship on which he reencounters the third recurring character, Graybeard, a sentient, customarily immobile figurehead. Their stage is an alternate Earth touched by magic. That alone doesn't make these stories what McDonald calls them, improbable. That quality arises more from the facts that Diana is a cross-dressing man, and plenty of the other protagonists, Cubby included, are gay. Their world isn't much easier for gays and transgender folk than ours is, yet they are winningly heroic, psychologically complex, and sympathetic. And because theirs is an alternate world, they prove their mettle in genre milieus ranging from the western to contemporary (in our world) desert warfare, with technologies ranging from sail and horse to helicopter. No matter the setting and the tools, their stories are all enthralling.
YA/Mature Readers: Even if the protagonists were all straight (some are, anyway), these would still be ripping yarns. —Ray Olson

LOS ANGELES — LOS ANGELES (AP) - Firefighters have increased containment of the fire north of Los Angeles to 49 percent.
U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Michelle Caldwell says the risk to homes is significantly reduced Saturday morning as crews hold the fire line to the north, south and west.
The arson-caused blaze has scorched nearly 242 square miles and continues to burn unchecked to the east into the rural San Gabriel Wilderness. More than 76 homes and other structures have been destroyed since the fire began last week.
A $100,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the arsonist.

Techies get another reason to love the Volt. Chevrolet and OnStar have developed apps for the Apple iPhone, Motorola Droid and Blackberry Storm. Presumably there will be apps for other phones running Android or Blackberry OS but for now only those three phones are supported. The app will do a range of things including allowing users to monitor their driving stats, remotely start the car and schedule charging intervals. The car maintains contact with the phone via OnStar's real-time data connection

It's inevitable. You're driving along all of a sudden the familiar outline of a Crown Vic is sitting at the side of the road. All of a sudden the hyper-sensitivity to anything you could possibly be doing wrong kicks in and your brain starts listing off every minor traffic violation you've committed in the last fifty miles. If you happen to be going slightly faster than speed limit because you weren't being judicious enough in monitoring your speed, or you were trying to pass or maybe you just had the Motorhead up too loud you might panic and pump the brakes, slowing down to below the speed limit "just to be safe."

Lipid-anchored drugs for delivery into subcellular compartments

Bioavailability is a quantitative measure of the capacity of a drug to reach systemic circulation. However, if a drug target is localized in a subcellular organelle, then the drug may not be able to reach it and the effect of the drug will not be attained. Although most drug targets are localized within intracellular compartments, specific targeting of drugs at the subcellular level is not well established. Membrane proteins, lipids, nutrients and some pathogens are internalized into the cell to be targeted to distinct subcellular compartments via membrane trafficking. Recent advances have identified novel methods of subcellular drug targeting, involving the use of conjugation to ligands of cell surface receptors or to lipid anchors. In this review, we focus on the importance of subcellular targeting of drugs, in particular, the mechanism of lipid-anchoring as a novel strategy and its potential application for the treatment of several diseases.

Definition of nova in English:
Line breaks: novaPronunciation: /ˈnəʊvə
( plural novae /-viː/ or novas)
Astronomy - A star showing a sudden large increase in brightness and then slowly returning to its original state over a few months. See also supernova.More example sentences
- For example, amateurs have always been to the fore in discovering comets and novae, hunting for supernovae, and monitoring events happening on the planets.
- The camera pans across a galaxy of stars and planets, novae, and nebulae twinkling in the blackness.
- For the same reason, the Star is unlikely to have been a nova, even though Chinese astrologers recorded the appearance of bright novae or 'guest stars' in March, 5 BC and April, 4 BC.
late 19th century: from Latin, feminine of novus 'new' (because such stars were thought to be newly formed).


text: A queen's quest for Ligure rubbed off her feminine figure, her pages of pure pericope was marred with daring dope. The fallen trees, tempting, trivial; dull cloud at a clear quadrivial, not a dream yet wierd and mystical, made a royal race illogical. Unbelievable, the skies told her lies, an empty reservior, her sour suprise. @26th July, 2013

How to stop having sudden bad dreams about a friendship that broke over a year ago?
Our friend circle broke up over a year ago. A section of the friend group started taking advantage of me as i used to overlook things. Gradually things got out of hand, and after speaking to the group about it, it was discussed among everyone over the next week. One night during a call conference, i was told to be quiet about it and they even tried emotional blackmail to shut me up.
They were not always bad company, the changes in behavior began once college started, and considering we were close friends i had no intention of leaving the group.
After a year, I didn't even think of the matter at all because i made new friends, so i was quite happy. However, of late i have been having these very vivid dreams of me meeting my old friends and then being in a very bad situation.
There are constant factors shared among these dreams:
*My new friends appear in the beginning of the dream, but are not there throughout.
*I try to speak with the old group.
*when the members of the old group start talking, it generally makes me uncomfortable and my hands cover my ears towards the end.
Even if i just get an explanation of this, i'll be happy.

Mary Anne Hobbs Wild Angels
- Words: Patrick Sisson
- Label: Planet Mu
- XLR8R Rating: 8/10
Filled with buoyant beats, 8-bit shoot-outs, and pastel-funky melodies, Mary Anne Hobbs' latest compilation contains everything you'd expect from the British tastemaker's broadcast, minus her ecstatic voiceovers. Connecting different strata of bass music, Hobbs showcases some of its more colorful, glittering strains, including Gemmy's "Rainbow Road" and Nosaj Thing's "IOIO," both breezy, neon gems. Gradually raising and lowering the energy level, Hobbs bookends Wild Angels with Marc Pritchard's dark and desolate "?" and an unexpectedly folksy Sunken Foal track before signing off with Legion of Doom's frazzled "And Now We Wait." Following on the heels of Alexander Nuts' excellent, stuttering Rinse mix, Hobbs manages the delicate task of balancing the light and dark, not letting heavyweight dub pull down her more airy selections. It's impossible to replicate the impact of Warrior Dubz (her first mix for Planet Mu), but Hobbs curates an impressive overview of a scene she helped foment.

Asada, Takahashi book Olympic figure skating tickets
(Left right) Japanese championships silver medallist Kanako Murakami, winner Akiko Suzuki and bronze medallist Mao Asada for bronze pose for photos in Saitama, suburban Tokyo on December 23, 2013
Asada, the 2008 and 2010 world women's champion who was second to South Korea's Kim Yu-Na at the Vancouver Olympics, botched her trademark triple axel attempt twice in the free skate to finish third overall behind Akiko Suzuki and Kanako Murakami at the Super Arena in Saitama, north of Tokyo.
The Japan Skating Federation decided later Monday to give the trio the three berths alloted to Japanese women in the Sochi figure skating competition.
"I feel totally disappointed today," said Asada, who will retire from competition after this Olympic season along with Kim, a fellow 23-year-old.
"I still have about one month to go. I will work harder still to perform my best," said Asada, who won the Grand Prix Final women's title after sweeping two events: Skate America and home event, the NHK Trophy.
Takahashi, 27, who took the Olympic men's bronze medal and the world title in 2010, finished fifth overalll in the men's competition on Sunday but the federation gave him one of the three tickets for Japanese men.
Men's Grand Prix Final champion Yuzuru Hanyu, 19, retained his national men's title with Tatsuki Machida, who won two Grand Prix events this season, second and Takahiko Kozuka third.
The other two men's tickets went to Hanyu and Machida, with Kozuka made a reserve skater in the team bound for Sochi.
Hanyu beat three-time world champion Patrick Chan in the Grand Prix Final, breaking the Canadian's short programme world record, after finishing second behind him at Skate Canada and the Trophee Eric Bompard in Paris.
According to criteria set in advance by the federation, the men's and women's national champions are given automatic qualification to Sochi.
The remaining places are worked out on the basis of factors including Grand Prix Final results, world rankings and personal best scores.
Takahashi finished fourth in the season-opening Grand Prix, Skate America, but won the NHK Trophy, while Kozuka had no trophy to show this season.
Japan will also send Narumi Takahashi and Ryuichi Kihara to the pairs event and Japanese American siblings Cathy Reed and Chris Reed to the ice dance in Sochi.
The same line-up of skaters will represent Japan at the world championships to be held at the same arena in March.

Shaw, Deborah and Knowles, Stacey and Siriwardena, A. Niroshan (2010) Identifying barriers and facilitators to improving prehospital care of asthma: views of ambulance clinicians. In: Faculty of Pre Hospital Care Conference, 24 November 2010, Stoneleigh Park, Coventry.

Abstract: | Background: In 2008/09 there were nearly 80,000 emergency hospital admissions for asthma. Current UK guidelines emphasise the importance of evidence-based prehospital assessment and treatment of asthma for improving patient outcomes and reducing hospitalisation, morbidity and mortality. National benchmarking of ambulance clinical performance indicators for asthma has revealed important unexplained variations in care across ambulance services. Little research has been undertaken to understand the reasons for poor levels of care. Objective: The aim of this study was to gather data on ambulance clinicians' perceptions and beliefs around prevailing and best practice for management of asthma. This was used to identify the factors which prevent or enable better asthma care in ambulance services. Methods: We used a phenomenological qualitative approach, which addresses how individuals use their experiences to make sense of their world, focusing on participants' lived experiences of care delivery for asthma. We used focus groups of ambulance clinicians to gather data on barriers and facilitators to better asthma care. Recordings and notes were taken, transcribed and then analysed using QSR NVivo 8. A coding framework was developed based on a priori concepts but with emergent themes added during the analysis. Results: Two focus groups were conducted with eight and five participants respectively. A number of preliminary themes and subthemes were identified. The study identified issues relating to clarity of ambulance guidelines, conflicts between training and guidance, misconceptions about the importance of objective assessment and over reliance on non-objective assessment. Some practitioners believed that hospital staff were not interested in prehospital peak flow assessments. Conclusion: Our findings will inform improved systems of care for asthma and the effect on indicators will be measured using time series methods. This approach could be used more widely to improve management of specific clinical conditions where quality of care is demonstrated to be suboptimal. |

Hi: 17° Lo:6° 7 day
A PACKED out and very vociferous audience at Bromsgrove's Artrix got well and truly into the Christmas spirit on the final night of All and Sundry's annual pantomime, which this year was Sinbad the Sailor.
It was another near perfect performance from the Bromsgrove and Redditch group with solid portrayals from every member of the cast.
Every good panto needs an excellent dame and Mark Clayton was exactly that. As Dame Drachma, he was richly raucous (as all dames should be) and built up a fantastic rapport with the audience.
Another character to get the crowd going was Ali Drachma, played impeccably by Dave Berrisford. He led the chanting and foot-stamping and ensured the piece had copious amounts of audience participation.
Mike Richardson as the landlord and James Ralley as the Vizier added the all-important evil elements and there were some fantastic comedy moments from Emma Hay as side-kick Kumquat, Terry Cooper-Day as Fairy Bold / Surf / Daz and Max Ponsonby as the Bosun.
Among the musical highlights were the solos from Arali McGrath, as Princess Jasmine, in Act One and the duet between her and Sinbad.
There were also plenty of well-known classics that the audience could join in with and singalong to.
The diverse number of dance routines, thanks to The Stage Door Dance Academy, and another great set also added to a fantastic feast of festive family fun and entertainment.
But the highlight of the evening was the scene 'Under the Sea' when UV special effects, luminous fishes and costumes, dancers and puppeteers provided a breath-taking piece of theatre in itself.
It is not hard to see why the audience figures for Artrix's All and Sundry panto are going up and up year-on-year.
The show had everything and the group, excelling itself yet again, took the audience on another amazing voyage.

So much for "health-care Monday," which had Washington and the media world in a rare tizzy. Shortly after ten o'clock this morning, John Roberts and his colleagues handed down a bunch of rulings, some of them significant, such as one that struck down part of the Arizona immigration law, but none of them pertaining to the Affordable Health Care for America Act, a.k.a. Obamacare. The justices, like producers of a Hollywood soap opera, were keeping their best plot twist for the end.
