The user interface with W8 was what turned me off on the whole thing. I feel confident it will turn off administrators who would hesitate to upgrade computers in an enterprise environment. You would have to send every user to school...and triple your IT staff. MS said at first that the classic desktop would be available, but I never found it. Now here comes third party add-ons that will do just that. While that may encourage me to look at W8 again...you have to wonder "WTH was MS thinking?"

A Perrysburg family is roasting coffee in their own garage, and the business is taking off.
It started when Richard Jambor was introduced to fresh-roasted coffee by a co-worker. That sparked his passion for roasting his own coffee, and the family began roasting coffee for themselves.
Last October, with the purchase of a large roaster and an interest from local businesses, the Maddie and Bella Coffee Company took off.
Jambor does the actual roasting of the coffee beans, his son Rich takes care of marketing, and his wife Susan is the official taste tester.
"The minute you taste it, you're hooked on it," Susan said.
They now hand-deliver coffee to six local markets and shops, and one downtown coffee shop. Every Sunday, the family gets together and takes care of all the orders for the week, and delivers about 40-50 pounds of coffee.
"Six months ago I was doing this as a hobby," Jambor said. "Now to have people telling us that it's fabulous…It's beyond belief."
Each bag of coffee is signed and dated by Jambor.

The Joy of Giving: with Grace of Stripes and Sequins!
Grace is my go-to girl for everything fashion, baubles and beauty. I had the immense pleasure of meeting her in New York City last May - she gracefully invited Victoria and I to the Philharmonic Orchestra with her boyfriend, her sister Becca and Becca's husband. The concert was phenomenal and we had a blast - Grace really is a super charming and down to earth gal. She's extremely creative and gifted to boot. Which is why I'm over the moon to have her kickoff this holiday cheers series!

Having A C-Section? Read This First.
Thanks to c-sections, preterm births are on the rise, says the March of Dimes. Cesarean sections are a decades-old practice that has saved the lives of countless infants -- including my two children. But some experts are concerned that the procedure might be compromising so-called late-preemies: babies born between 34 and 37 weeks.
A big dealIncreases in preterm births and c-sections might not seem significant, but it is. Late preterm babies are at greater risks for problems like breathing difficulties, feeding issues, jaundice and even death than their full-term peers.According to the Associated Press: "If slightly early birth sounds like no big deal, consider: A baby's brain at 35 weeks weighs only two-thirds of what it will weigh at 40 weeks, says a dramatic "brain card" developed by the March of Dimes to educate women. Some will catch up fine, while others have learning or behavioral delays. Also, being even a few weeks early can cause initial breathing problems if lungs aren't mature enough; feeding problems; even an increased risk of SIDS." Ones born younger have even worse potential complications. More research neededWhile cesareans are lifesavers when there are pregnancy complications, there are risks with the procedure and it's something that shouldn't be done without cause earlier than 37 weeks. "While maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy may result in the need for a c-section, we're concerned that some early c-section deliveries may be occurring for non-medically indicated reasons," said Alan R. Fleischman, M.D., the March of Dimes medical director and senior vice president. "We need research to determine how many c-sections that result in preterm babies are not medically indicated and may place both mother and baby at risk for little or no medical benefit." What to do

I wear it like this in the fall and winter.

It's icing outside, meaning that I need to avoid the road for like the next three days as Texans have no understanding of how to drive in the ice.
Thus why UNT was closed yesterday and is also closed today. Love that ice makes us Texans flip our poop.

MidnightGengar's sig gives me the creeps.
So you won't be getting back the $10 they'd give you back for a $200 book. Sucks, man. If they're just going to use the same textbook but a different edition, you can always try selling it to someone else who is going to take the class next semester. Or sell it on Amazon if it's worth the shipping cost.
I always wondered how college bookstores determined how much to buy books back for. Maybe they have a random number generator between $1 and $50 that decides for them when they scan the book.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Great Customer Service/Wonderful Product
For Your Eyes Only Save the Date Magnets We ordered from MagnetStreet.com based on reviews from The Knot. The photo that we wanted to use had other people in the background. We asked if the photo could be photo-shopped and were told that it could. The first proof that was sent was not exactly what we had in mind. We asked if another suggestion could be made. We received a very timely response and a PERFECT product. The delivery was quick and packaged very nicely. Every transaction I had with MagnetStreet was professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this company.
Save the Date Magnet
Indian Style Caricatures Save the Date Magnets We absolutely loved the product! I loved it when I saw it on the website and was hesitant to try it because it required customization and I was worried about the end result. Magnet Street sent us samples for free to get a feel of the physical product itself which calmed my nerves. We had fun customizing it - it was very easy to do. We got the product in a timely manner and we are very pleased with our finished magnets.
Everything I expected!
Indian Style Caricatures Save the Date Magnets This magnet was exactly what I was looking for - something creative/funny/cute that my guests would remember. The quality of the magnet is great.
Wedding Save the Date
Love Character Save the Date Magnets I am so pleased with how my magnets turned out! Magnet street really kept me up to date with each step they were taking to ensure that my purchase was right. I am recommending all my girlfriends to use them for all their wedding needs!
Good value, Not what we expected
For Your Eyes Only Save the Date Cards The quality of the paper and image was average, but I didn't expect more since the price was relatively low. On that basis, I would recommend these save the dates as a good value. However, I was surprised by how small the save the date was. The dimensions on-line were 3.5 inches x 4.0 inches. Once I received them, I realized that is really small. Be sure to really visualize the size of the cards first!

Reviews for Peppermint Ribbon Cake(35)
Sort By :
Very easy to make and everyone in the family enjoyed it. Will make it again.
I should have read the reviews! This cake is super yummy... however, make SURE you grease and flour the pan heavily. I lost about a third of it due to sticking to the pan. Also, when I was smashing the last two candy canes, I found the perfect method: Triple bag them (one ziploc on the inside, then two plain sandwich bags around that. Lay them flat on a plastic cutting board and smash down with a saucepan. SO MUCH EASIER than trying to pulverize them with a wooden spoon! Enjoy!
I made this cake on Christmas Eve to take as one (of many) desserts on Christmas Day at my mum's. It smells delightful while baking!! After reading through reviews, I decided to pulverize my box of 12 candy canes (enough dust to make 2 cakes!). I greased and floured a bundt pan well, and had no problems with the cake sticking. I was really afraid the 1/2 cup of candy canes and 1/2 tsp of peppermint would be "over-kill", but it was just right. Not only that, it LOOKED like the picture. 2 thumbs up for this wonderful holiday recipe!
I was a little skeptical at first about a peppermint cake. But it was quick and easy, and not chocolate, which I am allergic to, so I decided to give it a try. I'm very glad I did! This was very easy to make, and oh so yummy! I crushed up candy canes instead of mints, and omg, I loved it! I will be making this again! It's really good!
I have made this a few times. I have used green instead of red and it looks fine both ways.

(best before: 1/10/15)
L: pale yellow, clear with a misty look; thick 1-inch head of white foam that sticks hard; nice collar of frothy white foam; not a lot of lacing
S: sweet ... very sweet bready malt; fruity
T: oranges ... like the nose, very sweet; a bit of grain, but the sweet biscuit/bready malt taste is thorough; if there's a hop flavor, it's mostly a balancing agent that takes a little of the sweetness ... nothing bitter; peaches; fruity -- comes off like an American-made English pale ale
F: a bit soft but enough carbonation to keep it drinkable
O: loads of taste and VERY drinkable ... it's a great alternative to the German pilsener, and at times it's so sweet and fruity that you get some of the English pale ale sweet twang. it's perhaps a bit watery, but the taste is full-strength, so it works out just fine. a beer I will definitely grab again.

Poured almost two fingers of head on a clear, golden colored body.
The aroma is smells of dry wheat and barley, just a touch metallic.
The taste has a nice grain flavor. Not much else, but what's there is fine.
The texture is softer with moderate carbonation.
It has decent flavor and is easy drinking and enjoyable.

4.66/5 rDev +32.4%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.75
I purchased this beer at Total Wine & More in Virginia Beach as part of a sampling of their German/Belgian beers.
Appearance: Clear and golden...some light lacing. Very light, moderately carbonated head that hung around for a bit.
Smell: Solidly malty, with a bit of noble hop scent. Yeast is present in the scent as well, but pleasantly so.
Taste: A round, 'brown' malty sweet wash with a refreshingly light kick of balanced hop bitterness. slightly bready finish. I enjoyed this beer most at 50 deg. F. This temperature seemed to bring out the most flavor in the malt.
Mouthfeel: A bit sparkly and bubbly at first, with a light alcohol sting...this leads to a long-lasting rich mouthfeel, which coats for a while. Not the slightest bit unpleasant.
Overall: This is what beer is all about....barley, yeast, subtle but simple flavors. The only way this beer could be better to me? A tiny, tiny bit less maltiness. Overall, a great German lager.

S- Grains, honey.
T- cereal grains with more honey. makes me think of honey-nut cheerios. The finish shows some strong notes of corn.
M- light bodied, but slightly creamy with light, gentle carbonation. It is slightly sticky.

Coverage Measurement and Profiling
In order to use gcov, you must use GCC as your compiler. In addition, you must pass the options -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage during compilation. This causes GCC to insert additional code into the created object files to record the information needed by gcov and save it to disk.
The gcov data is written in the same directory as your source files, using a .da extension instead of .c. Nothing is written until you run your program. You can run your program multiple times to accumulate measurements, for example, trying different command-line options or input data.
Per the GCC documentation, the object file contains the absolute pathname of the .da file. So, it is not possible to move your source files after building and continue to collect coverage measurements. Doing so produces the error message arc profiling: Can't open output file filename when attempting to save the coverage data. gcov also shows results for only a single file at a time, and it does not provide a summarization method.
Creating gcov reports is straightforward. I use glib (the base library for Gtk+ and GNOME, see www.gtk.org) as an example. First, download glib from the Gtk+ site or a mirror. I used glib-2.2.1, which was the latest at the time of this writing.
To turn on coverage measurement, set the environment variable CFLAGS to -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage and run the standard ./configure; make; make check. This should work for any software that follows the GNU guidelines.
After make check has completed, it is possible to use gcov to create coverage reports. The most basic report we can access is a statement coverage report:
[zfrey@warthog glib]$ gcov garray.c 68.37% of 215 source lines executed in file garray.c Creating garray.c.gcov.
Besides printing out summary statistics, gcov creates an annotated source listing. For each executable line, this listing shows either the number of times it has been executed or a flag indicating it never has been executed (Listing 1).
Listing 1. Excerpt of a gcov Annotated Source Listing
GArray* g_array_sized_new (gboolean zero_terminated, gboolean clear, guint elt_size, guint reserved_size) 40 { 40 GRealArray *array; 40 G_LOCK (array_mem_chunk); 40 if (!array_mem_chunk) 14 array_mem_chunk = g_mem_chunk_new ("array mem chunk", sizeof (GRealArray), 1024, G_ALLOC_AND_FREE); 40 array = g_chunk_new (GRealArray, array_mem_chunk);
To see the branch coverage, use the -b option:
[zfrey@warthog glib]$ gcov -b garray.c 68.37% of 215 source lines executed in file garray.c 59.02% of 122 branches executed in file garray.c 46.72% of 122 branches taken at least once in file garray.c 45.35% of 86 calls executed in file garray.c Creating garray.c.gcov.
The annotated source file now contains the branch data (Listing 2).

To see coverage broken down by function within the source file, use the -f option. This can be combined with -b to get the branch coverage data on a per-function basis as well. Unfortunately, gcov does not provide a way to summarize results over multiple source files.
GGCov is a Gtk+-based GUI front end for gcov written by Greg Banks and available at www.alphalink.com.au/~gnb/ggcov. I was able to download the latest version (0.1.1 at the time), compile and install with it no problems. This was done using ./configure; make; make install and allowing /usr/local as the prefix.
To use GGCov, cd to the directory with your source files and launch GGCov. GGCov then looks for all the files in that directory with coverage measurements and creates a summary (Figure 1). This is something you cannot do with GNU gcov by itself.
Selecting the Filename button activates a drop-down list of all files in the directory that have coverage information. Selecting a filename returns the statistics for that file.
Selecting the Function button activates a drop-down list of all the functions from all the files in the directory that have coverage information. Selecting a function name returns the statistics for that function (Figure 3).
As if that weren't enough power, the Range button allows the selection of a file and a line number range and creates a summary for only the functions within that range. All views except the Overall summary have a View button, which brings up a new window containing the annotated source display for the selected file.
Overall, I found the basic functionality of GGCov easy to use and helpful. GGCov also contains features for displaying call graphs; unfortunately, on Red Hat 8.0 the glib example caused GGCov to segfault. I contacted Greg Banks, who said the call graph features were the most immature and that he hopes to address these problems in the next few releases.
Is there any coverage tool
Is there any coverage tool available that only works on source files and not on executables. I mean I dont want to compile the source files even once still I want to find out the coverage in the code.
Is it possible?
Please help. I'll really appreciate your effort if you get me any information regarding the matter.
help needed in installing ggcov
We have tried installing ggcov
we had followed following steps.
./configure (it satisfies our pc configuration)
make install
It is not getting installed properly...
How can we check it is properly installed or not....?
Is there any other steps to covered...
please kindly help
hai, i understood your
i understood your problem.....
me also struck with that problem but what i did was,
i just installed ggcov-06 instead of ggcov-08.....
in ggcov ,it is asking someother file which we could not get fro internet...
so better to go to install ggcov-06
thanks and regards,
when i try to run ggcov in SUSE LINUX 10.1 using the command line ggcov ,i do not get any error message.but the results are not displayed.
the installation had no problems.
If anybody who is familiar with ggcov can give me a detailed idea about how to use this tool,please reply.
anybody kindly post a reply regarding how to implement ggcov
I could run ggcov successfully on the command prompt but I can't view any GUI.So please tell me the syntax/procedures of using ggcov.My linux version is SUSE 9.0
error on running kprof
when i try to make the kprof i am getting this errors..
Kindly help me to correct and run the application

Could you let me know how I can set environemt CFLAGS variable?
I have problem when I gcc on glib files i.e garray.c
please hel--
valgrind coverage
I thought I'd add a comment to say that some people are using Valgrind to do coverage testing using the 'cachegrind' tool.
Great article, a nice clear introduction to the topic.
Thanks very much for this informative example. I was surprised that 50% is about average for code coverage!
Re: Coverage Measurement and Profiling
Very nice article, I enjoyed it and learned new (for me) methods
thanks a lot
Don't forget lcov!
lcov is a nice addition to gcof; like ggcov, it shows summaries
for multiple files. It goes beyond ggcov, I think, in that it
handles entire directory hierarchies. It can handle the Linux
kernel and Wine, for instance. It outputs HTML rather than
presenting a GUI, but that's kind of a plus in my book.
It's at ltp.sf.net/coverage/lcov.php
Re: Don't forget lcov!
Lcov does look very nice. My intent wasn't to do a comprehensive survey of tools, but to introduce the basics of gcov and gprof and give an example of a representative "add-on" for each.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Reporter: WOWT
Nebraska and Georgia were selected Sunday to play in the 2013 Capital One Bowl on New Year's Day. The game will start at noon Central time from Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium in Orlando and be televised on ABC.
Nebraska, champions of the Big Ten Legends Division at 10-3 (7-2 Big Ten) head to Orlando for the second time in as many seasons after posting its third 10-win season in four years. The Huskers fell to South Carolina in last year's Capital One Bowl 30-13.
The Huskers are one of only four teams in the nation to win nine games each of the last five seasons, joining Alabama, Oregon and Boise State. The Huskers bowl appearance is their 49th all-time.
The Bulldogs (11-2) are making their sixth appearance in the Capital One Bowl, the last one coming in a 2009 victory over Michigan State. Georgia won the SEC East for the second year in a row, but lost to Alabama Saturday in the conference championship game.
The Bulldogs and Cornhuskers meet for just the second time in history. Nebraska bested Georgia 45-6 in their first meeting, the 1969 Sun Bowl, a game in which Tom Osborne was in his first season as NU's offensive coordinator. The Huskers hold a 94-47-4 all-time record against the SEC while the 'Dawgs are 8-4 all-time against the Big Ten.
Tickets for the game are $87 and $92 and they go on sale at 9 p.m. Sunday at Huskers.com. Nebraska will receive an allotment of 12,500 tickets for the game. Tickets can also be purchased over the phone beginning Monday morning by calling the Nebraska Athletic Ticket Office at 1-800-8-BIG RED.

Gird your loins – we're going to be navigating positions battles in each division. Today I'm talking about the NL Central, which loses the Astros this year, so you can basically knock off five wins from each team's 2012 win total. It feels like this could be a close race for the first couple months until the Reds replace Dusty's toothpick with bubblegum at the trade deadline. There's also a good amount of both young and rebound pitchers spread out across the division, so this could be a boon for late round draft picks in mixed leagues. Am I telling you to draft a pitching staff solely from the NL Central? Those are your words, not mine. Although I kind of wish they had been my words (you quick thinker, you). You can also read about the position battles for the NL East and the AL Central. Anyway, here are some of the position battles to watch in the NL Central:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Kyle McPherson
One of my favorite things to do is to hide players, especially pitchers, for as long as I can in positions that they either don't play or don't play yet. This year there are numerous guys that have dual eligibility that are great fantasy options already – Hisashi Iwakuma and Kris Medlen to name the best two. I am talking about something different, like crayon sharpener in the back of the box different. Guys that have only RP eligibility to start the season that are speculated to open the season in the team's starting rotation. Granted, you can only hide them for 5-10 starts based on your league settings, but that could be 2 months, which if your keeping track is 1/3 of the season. So have a peek at the guys that have RP, soon to have SP.

The Run Down
With the first overall pick in the June draft, the Pirates selected Gerrit Cole and gave him $8 million upon signing. Although I'm partial toward Trevor Bauer – Cole's teammate at UCLA and third overall pick in June – Cole is probably a safer option, given his projectable frame and mechanics. And while I doubt he'll arrive before 2013, it'll be fun to watch him destroy batters in Double-A (Cole was clocked at 102 MPH a month ago in the Arizona Fall League). In addition to Cole, the Pirates' system has quite a few high-ceiling arms: James Taillon, Luis Heredia, and Stetson Allie all profile as frontline starters. Unfortunately, though, they're rather far from arriving in Pittsburgh. Offensively, the Pirates' system doesn't have too much to be excited about for 2012. Starling Marte has great potential and could yield some fantasy value, but I'm afraid we're still a year or two away from him being viable option. Josh Bell is probably Pittsburgh's most promising offensive prospect, but the 19-year-old switch-hitting outfielder is a long ways off. Until Cole arrives, there's no one draft-worthy here.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

"Nursing would be a dream job if there were no doctors."
Gerhard Kocher
"I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health. I said, 'There's nothing that I can do for you that you can't do for yourself.' He said, 'Oh yes you can. Just hold my hand. I think that that would help.' So I sat with him a while then I asked him how he felt. He said, 'I think I'm cured.'"
Conor Oberst
"If the doctor told me I had six minutes to live, I'd type a little faster."
Isaac Asimov
"According to doctors, George Bush has the lowest heartbeat ever recorded by someone in the White House. Well, second lowest. Dick Cheney got his down to zero a couple of times."
Jay Leno

Suppose we are given a finite square matrix . We would like to factorize into (where is finite) matrices
where factors are required to have a certain sparsity pattern, i.e., a subset of their entries must be zero.
Definition: Let and . A sparsity pattern is a set of ordered pairs that indicate which entries of a matrix are constrained to be zero.
Note that . If there are no sparsity constraints, then is an empty set. Set contains the indices of the entries of a matrix which are unconstrained, i.e., "free".
Problem: Given a matrix and a particular sparsity pattern , how can we find if it is possible to factorize into factor matrices (where is finite) whose sparsity pattern is the specified one? If such factorization is possible, how can we compute each factor and ?
This problem is easy to pose, but I have found it very hard to attack. I have tried various approaches… and none worked. Does anyone have any ideas?
Example: suppose we are given a real matrix
We would like to factorize matrix into factors whose sparsity pattern is represented pictorially by
where a "" in the entry means that the entry is unconstrained, i.e., it is allowed to take any value in . If you are familiar with numerical PDE's, you certainly encountered matrices with this sparsity pattern when solving diffusion or wave equations in one spatial dimension using finite difference methods.
Even though this example seems fairly "simple" (it's only a matrix after all!), I have not yet found an approach that works.

Quakers unable to overcome sluggish first half
MARIETTA, Ohio (January 18, 2003) The Quakers of Willmington College were unable to overcome an 18-point halftime deficit as the Green and White ended up on the wrong side of a 71-40 score.
Wilmington (3-12, 1-7 OAC) trailed the Pioneers by one at 3-2 before the hosts went on a 15-2 run, giving Marietta an 18-4, 14-point lead. The Quakers fought back, and cut the deficit to eight with 5:21 left before Marietta ended the half on a 14-4 run, ending the half up by 18 at 34-16.
The Quakers fought back in the second half, cutting the deficit to just nine, 44-35, with 9:28 left in the game before Marietta (7-8, 3-5 OAC) ended the game on a 27-5 run, giving the hosts a 31-point victory.
The Quakers were led by Adam Weber (Peebles/Peebles) who scored nine points, while Stephen Gee (West Milton/Milton-Union) scoerd eight Will Bruce (Cleveland/Benedictine) chipped in with five. Greg Liggens (Toledo/Scott) pulled down a game-high eight rebounds while Bruce helped out with seven boards. Dave Hudson (Bucyrus/Col. Crawford) dished out four assists in the loss to lead the team.
Marietta was led by Dan Richards who scored 15 points as Thad Skinner chipped in with 13. Richards pulled down a team-high five rebounds while Richards also led the team in assists with five.
The next game for the Green and White is set for Wednesday, January 22 when the Quakers play host to the 20th ranked Capital Crusaders with tip-off set for 7:30 p.m.

Tom Roberts, an Emmy-winner for Mother Russia's Children, directed this documentary about Josef Stalin's efforts to build an 800-mile railroad in the Arctic Circle during the late 1940s and early 1950s, to provide a defense of the northern borders of the Soviet Union. The huge work force (drawn from the gulag prison system) faced brutal conditions (starvation, freezing cold, dysentery), and many died. After 500 miles of track was in place, the project was abandoned 20 days after Stalin's death in 1953. Archival footage is intercut with survivor interviews. Filmed across Siberia, this is the second in HBO Signature's "Double Take" series, launched with Diary of a Terrorist: Mikdad, and it premiered November 8, 1998 on HBO Signature. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Cerebral coccidioidomycosis complicated by basal ganglia lacunar infarction
The post-contrast axial T1-weighted MR image reveals extensive enhancement throughout the basal cisterns (figure 1). Diffusion-weighted MR imaging shows a punctate focus of restricted diffusion within the left basal ganglia (figure 2), consistent with acute lacunar infarction.
Meningeal enhancement can occur with any process that irritates the meninges. Leptomeningeal enhancement involves the pia and inner layer of the arachnoid, while pachymeningeal enhancement affects the dura and outer layer of the arachnoid.1 While carcinomatous involvement of the meninges usually affects the outer dura mater, resulting in a thickened nodular appearance, infectious meningitis most commonly causes abnormal leptomeningeal enhancement.1 Reactive meningitis due to trauma and instrumentation usually results in pachymeningeal enhancement presumably related to irritating subarachnoid blood.1
Leptomeningeal spread of tumor via the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is commonly associated with hydrocephalus and cranial nerve palsies. Deposition of tumor clls occurs in areas of relative CSF stasis, such as the cerebellopontine angles, suprasellar cistern, and lateral recesses of the fourth ventricle.2 Later in the course of the disease, subarachnoid enhancement may become confluent.
Infectious meningitis may be bacterial, granulomatous (tuberculous), viral, or fungal. Infectious involvement of the meninges is usually the result of hematogenous spread, but may be secondary to direct extension from mastoiditis or sinusitis. Fungi that have yeast forms small enough to spread hematogenously into the meningeal microcirculation include Blastomyces, Candida, Coccidiodes, Cryptococcus, Histoplasma, Paracoccidioides, and Torulopsis species.3 Coccidiodes immitis is a saprophytic dimorphic yeast residing in the topsoil of the southwestern United States, northern Mexico, and Central and South America. The high incidence of infection in the arid region of the San Joaquin Valley gives rise to the term "valley fever," where affected individuals present with erythema nodosum, upper respiratory symptoms, and transitory pulmonary infiltrates on radiography. Human inoculation occurs when there is perturbation of the soil with release of the spores and inhalation. Coccidioidomycosis is the result of inhalation of the arthrospore that causes the pulmonary infection. These develop into spherules that rupture and release endospores. These endospores spread hematog-enously and result in disseminated disease. Risk factors for infection include pregnancy, advanced age, and an immunosuppressed state. Affected patients may be asymptomatic or develop an upper respiratory infection (60%); the remaining 40% develop a lower respiratory tract infection. Fungemia occurs in approximately 7% of patients, but only 1% of nonimmunocompromised, nondiabetic patients develop significant extrapulmonary disease.4
The most common manifestation of CNS involvement is meningitis. Chronic meningeal involvement is particularly difficult to eradicate, and untreated coccidioidal meningitis is nearly uniformly fatal within 2 years.4,5 Dense arachnoid fibrosis causes communicating hydrocephalus by occluding the basal cisterns. Further scarring may obstruct the fourth ventricle producing a noncommunicating hydrocephalus and is responsible for most of the morbidity related to coccidioidomycosis.4 Other sequelae include abscess or granuloma formation and vascular complications, such as deep white matter infarcts and vasculitis.3,5
Acute infection may manifest as areas of focal or nodular enhancement in the basal cisterns, representing focal collections of the organism with surrounding inflammation. In more chronic cases, patients develop diffuse confluent leptomeningeal enhancement in the basal cisterns, sylvian fissures, craniocervical junction, and pericallosal regions. Parenchymal coccidioidal brain abscesses are uncommon, and occur more often in patients with coexisting HIV infection.6
Morbidity and mortality are related to uncontrollable hydrocephalus, progressive bulbar palsies, infarction, and spinal cord involvement. There is progressive diminution of enhancement with treatment.
Deep white-matter infarcts related to coccidioidal meningitis occur less commonly than in the setting of tuberculous and other fungal meningitides. Small perforating arteries supplying the basal ganglia and periventricular white matter are usually involved. Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis may also cause infarction of small penetrating arteries. Aneurysm formation, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and anterior spinal artery occlusion related to coccidioidal meningitis have been reported.3,6
Specific patterns of meningeal enhancement can suggest an infectious etiology. Coccidioidomycosis and other fungal infections have become more common outside endemic areas; however, the clinical diagnosis can be difficult because the fungus is cultured in only 25% to 50% of cases. Confirming the specific diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, and the typical pattern of diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement (seen later in the course of the disease) may suggest the diagnosis; definitive diagnosis may require a brain biopsy.

CANTON St. Lawrence County Finance Committee Chairman Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, has asked department heads to come up cuts in non-mandated services that will in total amount to $5.2 million.
In addition, Mr. Morrill is proposing a 10 percent cut in the sales tax distributed to towns and villages for a total reduction in the proposed levy increase of $7 million. That would reduce the tax levy increase from 20 percent to 5.02 percent.
Mr. Morrill said he wanted legislators to be able to review at budget review sessions scheduled to begin Oct. 15 what cuts would mean for services and the number of employees who would be laid off.
Im asking for choices, he said. What does it look like to cut $5.2 million and then well see.

Three months after floods swept through northern Nigeria, reality is now setting in for the millions affected.
The floods ravaged more than 20 states across the country. Aid Agencies there are warning of an impending food shortage. They say the needs of the people are immense and only a few organisations are helping.
Although government officials agree the situation is bad they say no one will starve. "We are getting assistance from the federal government apart from what the state government has also put in place. This is all aimed at mitigating food insecurity," says Abdurahman Wuya, the state commissioner for environment. Many however doubt that handouts from the government will be enough and say it is only sending farmers back to the fields that will make sure the looming food crisis does not last much longer.
How did Nigeria get to this point? Are floods alone to blame? And what will it mean for Africa's most populated country?
Inside Story, with presenter Hazem Sika, is joined by guests: Auwal Musa Rafsanjani, Nigeria country director for Transparency International - an organisation that tracks and measures global corruption; Ayo Johnson, the director of Viewpoint Africa, a news website; and Hussaini Abdu, the director for Action Aid Nigeria.
"The Nigerian government has failed its people and it's got to do far more. The impact on people is where my concern is, because there's way too many people who are starving, people are already living on the edge, too many people are living below the poverty line. And to be pushed and be compounded by higher prices in food, which are going to be distorted because of the shortage of food, the effect it's going to have on commerce, not to mention that Nigeria would have to import more food to feed its people. That is a major problem for the government moving forward."
Ayo Johnson, the director of Viewpoint Africa

A cure for AIDS is still in the future with prevention the primary thrust at this time in the communities. It has been shown that individuals will take the necessary actions for prevention only when "(a) they are properly informed and (b) they feel motivated to respond to the information they possess." This communication about AIDS is a non-stop process because slowing the information only a fraction results in individuals falling back into their old ways of unsafe sex. Much research is being conducted on how better to communicate and how better to educate. "The specific purpose of the book is to examine how theory informs our understanding of communication processes as they relate to the AIDS crisis in the United States and other parts of the world." Chapter one covers safer sex with the advice of "know your partner." The authors center their discussion around sexual scripts and how they communicate. The next two chapters cover the use of condoms and chapter four has the title "Healthy Passions: Safer Sex as Play." These four chapters form the groundwork for the rest of the book. The six following chapters cover such topics as AIDS media campaigns, audience response to health messages about AIDS, the National AIDS Information and Education Program as an example of a systems approach to AIDS communication, culture in HIV education, AIDS and the media agenda, and "AIDS, Medicalization, and the News Media." These are serious, well-researched articles showing the power of communication and how information on AIDS is brought to the attention of the public. They also indicate whether or not those who are being targeted, really comprehend what is being told. It is interesting to read that the medical profession and its publications have loosened up what appears in the general publications that the layperson reads by using terms that until now were not allowed or were considered offensive. This is particularly true when it comes to talking about sex, safer sex, and gay sex. All in all this is an excellent overview of how communication is helping but it also shows that, unless the targeted individuals read and understand, all the communication in the world will go on deaf ears. This book certainly shows that when it comes to AIDS, nothing should stand in the way of education, not even the church. A highly recommended book for all libraries. (H. Robert Malinowsky)

The ship was rather old but well looked after and clean and tidy at all times. Public rooms were good and there was enough space to avoid overcrowding most of the time. Children would have been well catered for though there were few of them on board.
Food was adequate, but only just. Quality in the main self service restaurant was ok but variety was limited. The two main free restaurants, Windows and Garden room, were nice with attentive staff, perhaps too attentive. Unfortunately the menu was rather limited, more or less the same in both places and changed very little from day to day. No doubt this was to encourage guests to use the alternative venues which had an extra cover charge. I think this is cheating.
We were unhappy with the expensive extra service charge added daily to our onboard account, it's nearly impossible to avoid it. I do understand this ship is mainly for American guests and that they have a different tipping culture. For UK clients however it is simply a rip off. Norwegian need to pay staff properly and include the cost in headline pricing. The staff are good, but no better than in other ships where such charges are included, Thomson for example. This is Ryanair type stuff.
The captain gave a sort of report every evening, which was both informative and amusing.
Entertainment was usual cruise standard, just about passable. The Flamenco show was a good example, nothing like the real thing, more like Madrid variety TV than Andalusian passion.
Shore trips were quite good but overpriced, a very few people did take advantage of the mandatory shopping stops but I do dislike having lost time at historical sites so someone can buy a carpet.
Disembarkation at Barcelona. There were very long lines waiting for a taxi, it was raining hard so perhaps this was unusual. We know this city well and it was no problem at all for us but it may be a bit hard for anyone with a late flight, lumbered with cases etc. (Google: "Locker Barcelona" for help with this).
I may seem rather critical about this cruise but we did enjoy it. The ports of call were perfect, ship and staff just fine, basic price was good value and we met some very nice people, including a younger Venezuelan couple who quickly became good friends. It was fun. My only real complaint is the great lengths Norwegian go to in order to extract as much extra cash as possible, all cruise lines do so but this was over the top.

Paying Paul and Robbing No One: An Eminent Domain Solution for Underwater Mortgage Debt |
Volume 19, Number 5 2013 |
JEL classification: G18, G21, R31 |
Author: Robert Hockett In the view of many analysts, the best way to assist "underwater" homeowners—those who owe more on their mortgages than their houses are worth—is to reduce the principal on their home loans. Yet in the case of privately securitized mortgages, such write-downs are almost impossible to carry out, since loan modifications on the scale necessitated by the housing market crash would require collective action by a multitude of geographically dispersed security holders. The solution, this study suggests, is for state and municipal governments to use their eminent domain powers to buy up and restructure underwater mortgages, thereby sidestepping the need to coordinate action across large numbers of security holders.

Wild Wild West Marathon and Ultra Information
Wild Wild West Marathon and Ultra
(Concurrent races – 3-Mile Fun Run and 10 Mile)
As the United State's third oldest trail marathon behind Pikes Peak and Catalina Island, the Wild Wild West Marathon features a challenging point to point course starting in the foothill outside of Lone Pine, California (220 miles east of Los Angles) and traversing the eastern Sierra foothills. A favorite among ultra runners, the route includes several steady climbs and moderate declines at altitudes between 3700 and 6600 feet. Despite the hills, elevation, and typical heat (90° by high noon), the spectacular scenery may be worth the discomfort. Striking vistas, the snow-capped eastern Sierras, and the expansive Owens Valley are just a few of the sights along the way. In fact, the area should look familiar to you. This is the site for many Western movies from Roy Rogers in the 1930s to James Garner and Mel Gibson (Maverick) in the 1990s. The race enjoys a cult-like following as most of the nearing 500 (whether looking good, bad, or ugly at the finish), return the following year.
Course Description
The point to point course starts at the Tuttle Creek Campground (about 5000 feet) and includes about 5500+/- feet of up and down and a few creek crossings. The first third of the course runs mostly uphill on fairly steep jeep roads and trails contouring and climbing to the highest point at 6600 feet at the intersection of Whitney Portal Road and Hogback Road (8.5 miles). A long, winding 9-mile descent on a wide graded dirt road leads to the north end of the famed Alabama Hills. Winding and rolling Movie Flat road takes runners southbound through this unique geological formation of huge rounded oblong rocks. Around mile 20 the marathon and ultra split course. The final miles for both the marathon and ultra have a moderate elevation gain on a single track trail followed by a 5 mile descent. Many wildflowers, including red Indian Paintbrush, lavender Lupine and Mojave Asters, and yellow Desert Dandelions, bloom along the course. Also, don't be surprised if you see bear, Tule elk, deer, badger, raccoons, coyotes, skunks, and numerous native birds or rattlesnakes.
View the Wild Wild West Marathon Map (pdf)
Crowd/Runner Support
Other than the finish line, there is no spectator involvement in the race. You will, however, receive course support in the form of 12 aid stations along the way. The stations stock water, sport drinks, fruit, pretzels, and other snacks. Many runners carry water bottles and/or fanny packs with personal supplies. The course is controlled as much as possible but there is essentially no radio communication support due to the remoteness of the area. A sweep is conducted in the final hour of the race.
Race Logistics
Limited shuttle service will be available from the finish point at Lone Pine Park to Tuttle Creek Campground for those who need to get back to their vehicle. The race start is about 5 miles from Lone Pine. The parking is a bit limited in Tuttle Creek Campground. In an effort to lessen the congestion it is suggested that runners connect with other runners to get to the starting point.
Pasta Dinner and registration will be at Lo Inyo School from 5pm until 7pm.
The dinner, a fund raiser for the schools, is $8.00 and is not included in the registration fee.
The Lone Pine Chamber of Commerce, 120 S. Main St. will serve as the
late registration site on Friday between 8:00pm and 10:00pm
There will be NO registration at the start line.
(you can pick up your packet at the start)
AWARD CEREMONIES - At Lone Pine Park finish line 1PM
10 mile awards will be at the 10 mile finish line right after the race.
First 200 registered runners receives a T-shirt, and finishers earn ceramic medallions. The top three age-group finishers receive awards.
Several lodging options lie within five miles of the starting area. If you want to get a little extra sleep on race morning, you can camp for a fee at the start area in the Tuttle Creek Campground.
Related Events/Races
All races start at 6AM except the Fun Run which starts at 6:10AM

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at KPMG in February 2010.
Interview Details – Two to three rounds of interviews that initially start with HR recruiter and two interviewers (manager or partner/director) from the practice group. Great onboarding process that starts with one week of training in the office or out-of-town (out of pocket expenses to be reimbursed by the company).
Interview Question – Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? View Answer
Negotiation Details – The base salary offered is depending on previous employer's salary so there's no room to negotiate. I negotiated for the sign-on bonus due to other offers in big 4.

I interviewed at KPMG in January 2014.
Interview Details – If you get a call or email from someone in KPMG's South Africa office or the "Recruitment Research" or "EHR Research" group in the U.S., do not waste your time and call them back. In the few times that they've contacted me from this group, the HR person is clueless about the positions they are supposedly recruiting you for. They make it sound like they are taking notes or assisting the official recruiting department. They have no idea what projects they are recruiting for but of course will ask you to provide your salary requirements, etc. It sounds more like they're collecting information for their year end performance assessments (i.e where they're paying their current employees and what the market is currently demanding), KPIs, or whatever HR initiatives under their belt. In my most recent phone call, the recruiter was so unprepared with my own basic questions about the group, role, and what was going on with the company that I felt that I was the one being the interviewer and he was nothing more than a deer in headlights. Useless interviews and wasting candidate's time for their own personal "research" agenda.
Interview Question – Nothing difficult Answer Question

Interview Details – Behavioral questions for the most part. People interviewing you want to make sure you are detail oriented, a hard worker and will be a great person to work with. Given than projects can last for many months and you will be working with the same team for long hours, people want to know you can be a team player and get along well with others.
Interview Question – No technical questions for this level position. Be ready to have good examples of interesting projects you worked in the past and examples of when you showed initiative and leadership. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Asked for a sign in bonus, received a reasonable amount.

After that initial contact got an Interview date with a partner and a manager. Three months later got a second interview with a Senior Manager and a Director.

Negative Experience
Very Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 4 months - interviewed at KPMG in July 2012.
Interview Details – You should realize that the recruiting, assessment, and selection process is decentralized and stratified at the very least by campus and experienced hires per service area Audit, Tax, and Advisory and then again per Management, Risk, and Transactions and Restructuring, and then again per practice area. Each may have its own standard (or not) process. You should also not, there may or may not be a specific job opening, position or role and I had a very hard time clarifying that.
I can't remember but I think I applied to an online posting. I was contacted by a contract recruiter, who I didn't know at the time was sourcing other positions for herself which caused a huge break in continuity in my process. I believe she was trying to do the right thing but was bound by the constraints surrounding her in terms of position, level, salary and namely engagement project in need of staffing.
I had a recruiting interview where I was told they were indeed actively looking for candidates for positions to fill but also for a big picture fit (turns out no one downstream could actually speak to the specifics of what exactly that meant). There was never an actual job, level, project or hiring manager identified so it made the process very nebulous (which, if you are in that business, you know its completely ineffective).
I had two phone interviews from a manager and senior manager (who's title is now a Director). I was flown in for two onsites, with a friendly, pleasant managing director, and was scheduled to meet with the partner (the one in charge though unfortunately I did not find that out until way too late). He no showed and no called. Then AFTER an offer was actually presented, I was told I had another interview with an engagement employee who needed staff. When I asked if this person could maintain input power for the job or only the project resources, I was sideswiped and told to take the interview seriously???
All the interviews were unstructured and more conversational. Easy to control and navigate, especially having experience as a targeted behavioral interviewer, though the climate, culture and actual work was not represented accurately. The major problem was the timing. I had successfully completed the process and told an offer was in the making. This took over a month and in the meantime had foolishly turned down another offer for a similar job with a competing firm as I was told this was the most people focused firm of the big four (big lie). I was strung along, to keep warm and interested, and when push came to shove started looking for other jobs. When I was finally made an offer a month later, a completely unreasonable start date was posed (at the time I had filled out the application, the date I noted for availability was no longer valid) I was expected to relo (unpaid) 350 miles and start in 10 days.
I was met with irritable resistance and complexity when attempting to negotiate a more appropriate date given the circumstances. I stood my ground and when it was finally worked out, onboarded though scheduled for and attending orientation, was told I was expected to be on client site. I again stood my ground (if you don't get orientation opportunity, you better forget it will ever happen--there are a gazillion new employee requirements and tons of "training") and instead of the project waiting another day (orientation was 2, and I only found out on day 2 I was expected elsewhere but not told) they never-minded me. Super childish and unprofessional however, to my benefit because I explicitly stated that I knew of an engagement (this one) in NB, NJ that would NOT be a good match for me and if they were sourcing for that project, it would be more appropriate for me to self select out. I had to dodge that project 2 more times before I got assigned to it 9 months later. A huge thorn in my side and one I never got over given how dysfunctional I knew the project was.
At the end of the day, I was very sorry I took the job
Interview Question – None--totally conversational. It was neither structured or behavioral. Interview feedback (back to the stakeholders, there's no hiring manager) was informal "sign off" from input from others with little or no stake The entire process needs strategy, organization, structure, standardization, integration and mapping. They go on gut feelings of partner ego which makes the match process grossly negligent and ineffective. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Arduous. I had stated up front that I was looking for 6 figures and when asked what's the lowest in the 90s salary I would accept (???? who says this) said 99 (of course). Negotiating the start date was even more of a nightmare given they provided only 10 days from written offer for a no relo job 350 miles away, I stood my ground on ample notice since I was willing to withdraw my acceptance.

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 4 weeks - interviewed at KPMG in February 2013.
Interview Details – The overall hiring process was very quick and straight forward. (Unlike several other firms who made me jump through hoops - hours of personality testing, which makes me think culture fit is all they seem to care about...how is that good for the client? ) At KPMG's management consulting business,I had one interview with HR recruiter, one interview with a Director over the phone and two in-person interviews. Each interview lasted only 30 minutes. Overall it was a positive experience. The people seem to know what they are doing and what/who they are looking for.
Interview Question – Nothing very difficult other than being tested on how sharp I was and if I had the specialized knowledge I claimed on my resume. View Answer
Negotiation Details – Was required to put in my last salary in the formal application, which made me uncomfortable because I did not want to minimize my starting salary. They came in with a few thousand more than my previous base and I negotiated and was given more. I had 3 more interviews lined up with other potential employers so I felt I was in a comfortable place to negotiate.

Easy Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 1 week - interviewed at KPMG in April 2011.
Interview Details – Interview process was quite quick and painless. I had an initial phone interview with national hr rep then local hr rep then a half hour 1:1 with partner and half hour 1:1 with senior manager. I received an offer within the next couple days. They were able to beat a counter offer from another firm and accepted.
Interview Question – Tell me about your work experiences on your resume and how you can bring value to the position? View Answer
Negotiation Details – They were very accomodating as far as negotiating. I advised them I had 2 other offers on the table and they were able to beat both and I'd accepted. My recommendation is to not be intimidated to negotiate an offer. If you are the right fit, they will renegotiate to get you an offer.

Interview Details – Initial screen by a recruiter who contacted me and set up meeting for the following week . Met with Senior Manager and Partner. Discussed the opportunities available to me and the potential clients I'll be working with. Very professional and personable on both interviewers, genuinely seemed interested in where I can fit in and what they can provide and help with in career progression. After interview told that I would hear back within a week. I was contacted 1 week later for additional information and waited another week until the hiring manager called and informed me that I got the position.
Interview Question – Why are you looking for a new position with us? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No room for negotiation.
Declined Offer
Negative Experience
Average Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 2 months - interviewed at KPMG in December 2011.
Interview Details – One on-campus interview by a Director - mostly behavioral to assess organization fit
One onsite technical interviews by a Manager
One onsite case interview with a Senior Manager
The onsite interviews were supposed to be the final rounds. Then I waited for almost a month. When I called them up to check the status, they said that I have another technical interview (telephonic) with a Principal.
After that interview, they took about two weeks to get offer approval and finally made an offer. I was told that the offer was the starting salary at Senior Associate level and since I had a lot of relevant experience, I can negotiate. When I negotiated, they said they can't increase the salary.
