As an example using a state space model difficulties just mentioned is presented in this work. In as in (1). this methodology a system model is partitioned into different parts. One part is of physical nature, and is derivable from physics principles. This is the case of x(t ) = f (x(t ), u (t )) & dI a (t ) = − a I a (t ) − a ω (t ) + Va (t ) (1) R K 1 dt La La La (4) We assume that the system is partially known so we can dω (t ) split it as in (2), where g(· ) is the known part of the = A1 I a (t ) − A2ω (t ) − BB (ω (t )) dt system and h( · ) is the unknown part. In (4) the contribution of motor speed from (3) are x(t ) = g (x (t ), u (t )) + h(x(t ), u(t )) & (2) substituted by a black-box model BB(ω(t)). In this case the black-box model used is a neural network.

More than 250 people have signed a petition objecting to a plan to raise Boone County's cumulative capital development tax. Those objections mean the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance will have a public hearing on the county's intent to raise the CCD tax to 3.3 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. No date for that hearing has been set. The Boone County Commissioners on Monday, Aug. 19, approved a resolution endorsing the increase. "This resolution says the actual rate is going to be approved by the county council and ratified by the DLGF," County Attorney Bob Clutter. At its July 9 meeting, the Boone County Council, by a 4-3 vote, approved increasing the CCD rate, bumping it from the present 1.27 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The council could decide to enact a smaller increase, but needed to set a cap on the increase. A petition opposing the increase, signed by 261 persons, was filed Friday, Aug. 16 with the Boone County Auditor, said Aaron Smith, Lebanon. Only 50 signatures were required to trigger the DLGF hearing. See Wednesday's Times Sentinel for more on this story.

A top-ranking bestseller. Mario became the definition of the platformer in the grey old days of the twentieth century. This remake is reasonably good - the author has managed to fit a surprisingly large amount of graphics into a tiny file, although he added a bit of his own interpretation to the game. The VGA graphics are very smooth, although the game tends to run a bit slow on slower PC's.
The game includes six levels. The author wrote this game to practice VGA programming. The goal was to create a PC game with parallax scrolling layers that would run smoothly on his 486 computer (25 MHz). He didn't plan to release this Mario game, instead use the engine to make more original games.

For the past two years my mom has had her hours cut at her company (engineering and manufacturing.) She's been there for over 20 years. Right now she has to take 4 furlough days per month. She doesn't expect that to improve in 2010. Fortunately (or not?) for her, she will retire shortly at age 65 (formerly the mandated retirement age, now 67 I believe.) She says she is not really in a position to afford retirement just yet, even with the government pension plans, but she really doesn't have much choice. And she by no means "lives large", not even close.
We are recovering from a worldwide economic crisis. You can get similar headlines for every country, and we both know that the situation in the United States is very ugly.
Germany entered the current crisis from a position of strength, and they remain the foundation of the Euro. Their GDP per capita is $44,729 (virtually the same as the United States). Their unemployment rate is 7.5%, considerably below ours. They are the world's second largest exporter, in spite of having labor costs greater than the United States.
Germany is running a deficit of 3.3% of GDP. Ours is pushing 10%, which puts us in the class with Greece.
China can not threaten them by making noise about dumping their bonds.
And they do not bankrupt young families with sick children.

Item Number w6306
Mousy Shakers - Set of 2
I purchased two sets of these glasses and am so extremely happy with them. We use them as everyday glasses and they are washed in the dishwasher. We havent broken one yet. They are so beautiful, I love the size and shape. I will most definitely be buying more.
Debbie, WA, September 2012
The quality of the etching is poor to say the least. a couple of the glasses look dirty because of it. The picture makes them look shinny and beautiful.i have to pay return postage so it is not worth returning. I will not order from Wisteria again.
April 2012
I purchased two set of these glasses for a party. They are very versatile in their use. They work equally well in a casual setting and are stunning for a more elegant event.
Rebecca, NH, December 2011
These were on backorder for a while, but I am glad I waited--they are very pretty glasses that have enough capacity and style to be used for wine or cocktails as well as water. The insert with the package says that handwashing is recommended -not dishwasher safe, as indicated on the website-- but other than that, I am very pleased with these glasses.
CO, December 2011
I had to wait 2 months for these glasses, but now that they are finally here I see that they are made in China, not France as implied in the name of the product. The French make beautiful glassware and I thought that is what I was paying - and waiting - for, not Chinese glassware. However, I need these for Christmas - and needed them for Thanksgiving! - and so will keep them. I understood these were not the actual antiques that inspired them, but then please, Wisteria, take the word French out of the title so there is no confusion about where they are made.
December 2011
I love the design of these glasses, but you should know they are made in China, not France. Big label on the bottom of each glass, MADE IN CHINA.

SFIFF Returns are dangerous. The story of Lot's wife tells us that looking back is enough to be compromised. In cinema, the figure of return can stretch the basic spatiotemporal properties like so much silly putty. Take the two San Francisco International Film Festival speculative nonfictions that allow archival footage to overflow its conventional containers: 14-18: The Noise and the Fury, an epic reexamination of World War I narrated by a fictional French soldier, and Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno, Serge Bromberg's dogged excavation of the eponymous French director's famously unrealized film. Then there's Claire Denis' return to Africa (White Material), a Chinese documentary portrait of a family's fraught journey home (Last Train Home), and American filmmaker Tanya Hamilton's Night Catches Us, a double return (the story of a Black Panther's homecoming to his troubled neighborhood and a reconstruction of 1970s Philadelphia).
The cliché that "you can never go home again" is made freshly acute in Kamal Aljafari's Port of Memory, a melancholic study of the Palestinian community of Jaffa where Aljafari is from. The film reminds me of The Exiles (1961) in its urban-fragmentary scenario, well-portioned running time, and lovingly quotidian portrait of a marginalized group. Port of Memory doesn't announce that the fretful middle-aged woman who goes through the motions of housekeeping and caretaking is Aljafari's mother and the man who wanders Jaffa's crumbling streets his uncle — we're left to piece together these intimate views on our own. As a narrator, Aljafari is discreet but hardly complacent: he intercuts establishing shots of his uncle's promenades with footage from old Israeli and American films (for example, the 1986 Chuck Norris vehicle, Delta Force) that use the same streets for dubious spectacles of violence and nationalism. Doubling back on these inadvertent documents of occupation, Port of Memory's thin line of fiction has the now off-screen Israelis acting as a gentrifying force.
Like Aljafari's film, Pedro González-Rubio's gorgeous Alamar ("to the sea") is set between landscapes (land and sea) and ways of telling (fiction and documentary). The bare frame of a plot places a young boy with his father and grandfather, Mayan fishermen working the Mexican Caribbean. The sweetness of this idyll is tempered by its provisional bounds: the boy will return to his mother in Rome at the end of his compressed experience of a father's love. Every shot is earned: there are several in which the camera bucks with the boat, physically linked to the actors' experience. The child is at an age of discovery, and González-Rubio channels this openness by fixing on the details of the fisher's elegant way of life and the environmental contingencies of their home at sea.

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, Volume 22, Issue 6, 1 June 2001, Pages 285-291
Edward J. Calabrese and Linda A. Baldwin
AbstractThe fundamental nature of the dose response is neither linear or threshold, but rather U-shaped. When studies are properly designed to evaluate biological activity below the traditional toxicological threshold, low-dose stimulatory responses are observed with high frequency and display specific quantitative features. With a few exceptions, the low-dose stimulatory response is usually not more than twofold greater than the control response, with a stimulatory zone that is more variable, ranging from less than tenfold to more than several orders of magnitude of the dose. Considerable mechanistic evidence indicates that hormetic effects represent overcompensations in response to disruptions in homeostasis that are mediated by agonist concentration gradients with different affinities for stimulatory and inhibitory regulatory pathways.

AbstractOne of the first practical applications of toxicogenomics will probably be in the context of toxic tort personal injury litigation. Gene expression changes that'fingerprint' exposure to particular classes of toxic substances can potentially be used to demonstrate exposure, prove causation and support novel damage claims in lawsuits brought by citizens injured by toxic exposures. Although the potential use of toxicogenomic data in toxic tort litigation is immense, there is a danger of premature use of such data before they have been adequately validated and characterized.

Please help me identify this sparrow that a friend of mine photographed here in York. Thanks
I was going to say bronze frog or green frog. Its only the size of a Nickel. Is it something else?
I've posted one of these before I think. Someone refresh me on what it is.
This duck has me and all of the other regulars to this spot confused as to what it is exactly. This is the first I've seen it but its been here a couple days at least according to the others. Is it just a hybrid mallard? Or perhaps a juvenile blue winged teal? Whatever it is I made sure I had more than enough photos from different angles so there would be no uncertainty. There was a couple other ducks with it as well this is one of those:
This was a great success story of rescuing, healing and releasing an Egret that was the victim of fishing lines and hooks left behind to catch snapping turtles in the lake. I was the first to notice this bird and alerted PA Fish & Game and with the help of local parks personnel, a local veterinarian and a local bird rescue organization the bird was captured, treated and later released. Photos I took from the time I first saw the bird to the day it was released here:
The story was told wonderfully on this PBS station bird blog too:
Great close-up of an Osprey that was hunting overhead. A second one was close by.
Very distant shot zoomed in. I think its enough to see what it is though.
Please help me ID this bird. I think its a juvenile Little Blue but perhaps just a juvenile Egret? Or a Little Egret? See the one photo where you can see its size in relation to the green heron.
Seen at a retaining pond for a local Holiday Inn Hotel
I come here every year to see the babies. Here's one of the latest.
Could use some help identifying this type of Hummingbird Moth.
Bullfrog being fed on by loads of baby mosquitoes. I never added a mosquito so why not!
This one looks new to me. I could use some help. The only sound it would make is a *Kiss* sound behind me while it was hopping around inside the bushes.
Was at dusk and nearly impossible to see this bird with my naked eye. I wasn't able to make out what it was until I got home and I believe its a house wren but correct me if I'm wrong. I've seen alot of Carolina Wrens in this area and this would be my first House Wren if it is indeed one.

My two year old has been using a Cosatto seat for the past 12 months. When we bought it, it looked lovely and large and would last him through to his first booster seat. I don't know the model number, but this one is quite large with a chequered pattern. He loves the seat and sits well into it but it does have some drawbacks. Whilst lovely and large for the child, it is very big when fitted into the rear of a car. I have a Renault Scenic.. a people carrier, yet his feet, which stick out horizontally rather than bend at the knee, reach the seat in front. I've also had problems with the harnessing.

If you go
What: Culturefest
When: Today through Sunday
Where: Appalachian South Folklife Center, Pipestem
Cost: Weekend pass is $30; individual day passes range from $7 to $15
Info: www.culturefestwv.com or 304-425-6425
FYI: Culturefest includes world music and dance, performance art, healing arts, drum circles and artisan vendors.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For a band of seven, Songs of Water sure travels heavy.
That's because they just keep picking up new instruments.
In their efforts to explore world music since forming the group in North Carolina in 2002, band members are open to trying all kinds of sounds and instruments, said Stephen Roach, who plays tenor banjo, acoustic guitar, mandola, mandolin and hammered dulcimer.
"Everyone is multi-instrumental," Roach said.
A trip to a gig, such as the band's stop at Pipestem for a concert as part of Culturefest Saturday evening, can mean taking along 40 instruments.
"It makes loading the van fun," Roach said. "I always say you have to know how to play Tetrus to play in this band."
All of the musicians, including Jason Windsor, Luke Skaggs, Michael Pritchard, Greg Willett, Jon Kliegle and Elisa Rose, are veterans, and several have formal training. The violinist, Rose, plays in a symphony orchestra.
"She's pretty up there," Roach said, adding his own training has included studying with percussion masters around the world.
His idea in 2001 was to form an instrumental, acoustic band that explored world music, blending elements such as the bluegrass sounds he grew up hearing and the Turkish and Greek music he studied later in life.
"I tell people we're sort of like street musicians, wearing torn-up tuxedos. We have a classical side, but it's a pleasant classical."
As the group has evolved, so has the sound. For example, there are songs with lyrics now.
That part isn't all that surprising, considering Roach, one of the primary songwriters along with Skaggs and Willett, also is a published poet. He also has written a children's book.
"I write tons of songs," he said.
"If you get our next album, you may be surprised to know that half of it is going to be lyrical," he said. "Our last one had two lyrical songs. That is part of the evolving development of the band."
As a testament to the band's diversity of sound, it has opened for the likes of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder and has been featured on National Public Radio's "Echoes."
Roach said what you hear in a recording is quite different from what you hear when Songs of Water plays live.
"We do a lot of interludes, percussion interludes and violin-led interludes. We look at the music as a launch pad into the unknown. With the studio version and the live version, you're going to get two different things. We also like to incorporate other art forms into our live shows," he added.
"Sometimes we'll use film, backdrop videos to our songs. Sometimes we have live visual art -- artists painting while we play. We do that whenever we can because we believe music really is an art form."

GENEVA, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Syria is suspected of jamming broadcasts by the BBC, France 24, Deutsche Welle and the Voice of America, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) said in a statement on Monday, citing satellite operator Eutelsat .
Eutelsat had already blamed Iran for deliberately jamming satellite signals on Oct. 4, but the EBU said Eutelat had reported "deliberate and intermittent interference" from regional ally Syria as well.
"Access to information is a universal human right and an essential component for democracy. We deplore this attack on media freedom," EBU Director General Ingrid Deltenre said.
The EBU said the jamming may be linked to Eutelsat's decision to stop carrying 19 channels operated by Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, which were taken off air to comply with tougher European Union sanctions.
Deliberate interference with broadcast signals is banned by the International Telecommunication Union, a U.N. body which includes both Iran and Syria among its membership.

| Random BSODs overnight aswell as after running the WEI Hi. For the past year I've been randomly waking up to my logon screen, and once I log on it says that " Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown ", and I remember seeing somewhere that it was because the video driver failed? I've recently updated to the most recent video driver and it still happens. And just recently, after attempting to run the Windows Experience Index, it says it was unable to complete because it couldn't measure the video playback. And after that, things graphic wise just start crashing until a bluescreen appears ( Firefox goes black, things freeze, computer gets really slow at loading things and it also gets really quiet). |

Better Battery life on LTE
So I've had my Gnex for a few months now. I got it as a free upgrade from Verizon because my Thunderbolt was a piece of crap. I always left my Thunderbolt on 3G because of battery/stability issues. Before 4.2 I was having the same radio issues as others, so my Gnex stayed on 3g all the time as well. Recently I moved and I now have a strong, consistent 4G signal here in the SF Bay Area, so I've been leaving my phone on LTE and surprise, I've been getting better battery life. Not remarkably better, usually when I get off work my battery is at about 30% (3G), lately with 4G on, it has been more like 45-50%. I have a stronger LTE signal than 3G here, so I'm thinking that may have something to do with it (also its faster, so I suppose the radios are idling more often than on 3G). I use my phone all day, mostly using Pulse/Flipboard/Chrome doing a lot of web browsing and reading with the screen on.
Anyone else have thoughts? Battery life still isn't as good as my OG Droid or old Blackberry, but its better than my Thunderbolt and leagues ahead of my old Palm Pre (5 hours on a charge with moderate use!) - 11-18-2012, 06:32 PM #2
Re: Better Battery life on LTE
Its not the fact of more or less 3g its the fact the phone doesn't have to use more power to pull data then on lte considering u are in a strong 4g area or it would be reversed

Hepatopulmonary (hep-uh-toe-POOL-moe-nar-ee) syndrome is an uncommon condition that occurs in people with an existing liver disease that has advanced to the point it affects their lungs. People with hepatopulmonary syndrome have low blood oxygen levels (hypoxemia) caused by widespread dilation (expansion) of the lung blood vessels, both in size and number. The dilated vessels make it hard for the lungs to deliver an adequate supply of oxygen to the body. Liver transplant is the only cure for the syndrome.
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., ranks No. 1 for respiratory disorders in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals rankings. Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., and Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Ariz., are ranked high performing for respiratory disorders by U.S. News & World Report. Mayo Clinic also ranks among the Best Children's Hospitals for respiratory disorders.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
Specialists in liver diseases, lung diseases and transplantation care for people who have hepatopulmonary syndrome.

See information on patient services at the three Mayo Clinic locations, including transportation options and lodging.
Most people who are diagnosed with hepatopulmonary syndrome have been previously diagnosed with an underlying liver condition, usually cirrhosis. People with liver disease who exhibit shortness of breath (dyspnea) or symptoms of low oxygen levels in the blood (hypoxemia) are tested for the marker of hepatopulmonary syndrome — abnormal blood vessels in the lungs. The two main tests used are:
Learn more about echocardiograms.
Replacing your damaged liver with a new liver via a liver transplant is the only effective treatment for hepatopulmonary syndrome in both children and adults. Oxygen therapy to boost low blood oxygen levels can help people feel more comfortable, but it doesn't affect the syndrome itself. Mayo Clinic is testing some experimental drugs to help symptoms of respiratory distress.
Liver transplant offers the best chance for long-term survival for people with hepatopulmonary syndrome. Many people with hepatopulmonary syndrome are referred to Mayo Clinic because of Mayo Clinic's extensive experience treating liver disease and performing liver transplants. More than 5,200 liver transplants have been performed at Mayo Clinic since 1985.
Mayo Clinic doctors looked back at results for all people treated for hepatopulmonary syndrome at Mayo over a 17-year period. They found that 76 percent of those treated with a liver transplant (24 people) were alive five years after their transplant. These results compare favorably to national survival statistics for anyone receiving a liver transplant (a little over 70 percent five-year survival). In contrast, five-year survival for people with hepatopulmonary syndrome who did not receive a liver transplant was 23 percent.
Mayo Clinic is testing inhaled prostacyclin to treat symptoms of respiratory distress. Like oxygen supplements, this treatment is intended to make people more comfortable but does not treat the underlying hepatopulmonary syndrome.
See a list of publications on hepatopulmonary syndrome by Mayo Clinic doctors on PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine.

Best sleep I've ever had
I stayed here for a conference and had my room paid for, so can't judge the value. I must say however the bed was the BEST, most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. A number of people at this conference all voiced the same opinion about the beds. Down comforter and SIX down pillows. I was in a junior suite which was very nicely appointed with plenty of room. Housekeeping was good. View from the 6th floor was not great, I was on the northside of the hotel, facing a parking garage and the roof, other rooms had much better views. Relatively convenient location (not directly in the heart of downtown, but a very short walk to lots of stuff).
Good hotel but I expected way more for the $$$
I recently stayed at this hotel for business. It's conveniently located and I was able to get to my office via skyway. That's important because it rained all day for the entire week I was staying at the hotel (not usually like that in MN).
A very nice Sunday night at the Hilton
I took my boyfriend to the Hilton for his 30th birthday, and we had a lovely time. I booked it on Hotwire, and called the hotel to request a non-smoking room and a king size bed, and they weren't very accomodating -- saying all they could do was note that a request was made. However once we got there, the service was lovely. Beautiful lobby, and very nice pools and workout center. We got a corner room and the bed was so very comfortable and the room was big. Bathroom could have a been a tiny bit fancier. All in all though, a pretty nice experience.
I love this place! The views of the city are spectacular. The room is beautifully decorated. The beds are great! Very convenient to the best that Minneapolis has to offer. Front desk personel make you feel at home.
Very accomodating
I have stayed many times at the Hilton Minneapolis for business and can give you an honest review about it. You will find that the hotel lobby is very nice and the rooms are fairly average. Some have beautiful views of the skyline and others of the parking garage. The hotel is very dry but the housekeeping has a select number of humdifiers on hand that you can request be brought up to your room. The meeting spaces, ballrooms, pool and workout facilities are all very nice and what you would expect from a hilton. I would also recommend not eating in their restaurants not because they are awful but because there are so many options near by. It is located right in the skyway and extremely accessible to all of the shopping, dining and entertainment that you would want to do in Minneapolis. The staff is very accomodating, the parking is reasonable and next to the Le Meridien it is probably the best place to stay in downtown minneapolis.
Hilton Minneapolis - Get a corner room and you'll love it
We stayed here May 5-7 and we find the spotty reviews here a bit more negative than our own experience. We took a corner room and we were rewarded a decent downtown view, plus a very large room that included a king bed, couch and a low glass table with three very comfortable stuffed chairs. The room looked to be about twice the standard size of the run-of-house rooms, (which some are citing as being on the small side.) It was immaculately clean upon arrival and housekeeping was decent throughout.
Not what I expected
Stayed there for Valentine day night, so the hotel was somewhat full. Had booked the reservation on Expedia so got a decent deal, but Expedia had it as a 4 star and there is NO WAY this place - at least the rooms - are 4 star. I'm a regular business traveler - over 75 nights a year on the road - so I think I know my star ratings. Now the place does have a beautiful lobby and the restaurant is a little better than average, but the rooms are WAY UNDER average, like the quality of a Holiday Inn Express. Small room, poorer quality furniture, no crown molding, no accent wall coverings - just not at all what the largest Hilton in a major market should look like. I even checked out the top floor, walking down the hall and peaking in a room open with a maid cart - no difference in décor, only higher ceilings. Conclusion: If your looking for something romantic, upscale and well furnished, this is not the place.
Nice lobby but stay elsewhere.
Beautiful lobby, great for walking to the convention center, but not much of a hotel. Rooms are small, ugly, musty, and over-priced. We had to rotate broken lamps and working lamps for lighting. We had 30 to 45 seconds of hot water for showering (in February). View was a parking ramp. I requested hypoallergenic pillows in my reservation, but that was ignored so my wife had to sleep at the foot of the bed. The concierge was nowhere to be found. Doormen made no effort to help us with luggage; just stood there staring. We switched to the Radisson for the rest of our vacation and were treated like royalty!
Romantic Hilton
We love the Hilton Towers. The view of downtown at night was awesome, room was comfy, the fitness center is great, services unbelievable and everywhere downtown is accessible by skywalk. Most romantic hotel stay we have ever had, even if it was a business trip! Restaurant was so-so, but Ruth Chris steakhouse is right across the street and it's the best in Mpls!
Light and end of tunnel
Convention attendees wanted to extend stay, I was bumped from my room, given cab fare and another room (H/I - Metrodome - needs serious remodeling) for the evening and I had to shuttle my bags over the next morning to meet my other parties. I wasn't happy after a flight from hades and no air conditioning in the shuttle van- but they made up for it in a big way - upgrades and a fantastic bottle of wine, cheese and fruit tray awaiting me in my room when I returned from my business meetings.
Rooms are nice, lobby and restaurant is main attraction. Would definetly stay again. Only complaint, didn't have their own shuttle service to downtown...lower priced hotels offered this service.
