Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Songs of Innocence and of Experience is the foundation of the work of one of the greatest English poets and artists. The two sets of poems reveal what William Blake calls "the two contrary states of the human soul." The presentation of these states is deceptively simple, literally childlike in the "Innocence" poems. In both series, he offers clues to deeper meanings and suggests ways out of the apparent trap of selfhood, so that each reading provides greater insight and understanding, not only to the poems but also to human life.
The first poem in the "Innocence" series, "Introduction," establishes the pastoral background of most of the poems. The speaker in the poem (not Blake) has been playing tunes on a pipe in a pleasant valley when he or she is stopped by a vision of a child on a cloud, perhaps an angel, who functions as an encouraging muse. The child asks the pipe player to pipe a song about a lamb, then asks that the song be repeated and weeps. The child asks the speaker to sing a song, then asks that the songs be written "In a book, that all may read." The child disappears, and the speaker makes a pen from a reed, makes ink by staining water, and writes "happy songs/ Every child may joy to hear."
The last lines establish the apparent audience of Songs of Innocence: children. The poems in this series have a simple vocabulary and meter and can be read, and at least partly understood, by small children. This collection is not aimed exclusively at children, however. The child on the cloud tells the speaker to write so that "all may read"; it is the speaker who assumes that "every child may joy to hear" and restricts his or her audience to children. Perhaps "child" does not mean children but everyone, in the sense that all are children of God. Thus, in the first poem, the apparently simple vocabulary leads to complex interpretations.
"Introduction" also describes and wryly comments on Blake's technique. At first, the speaker is playing music, an evanescent expression that only the speaker and the child on the cloud hear. The child asks the speaker to sing songs that can be recorded in a book, specifically a book written and decorated with natural colors. The child, who acts as inspiration, vanishes when the hard work of composing and painting the volumes begins. Also, music strikes the senses directly, but the use of words restricts the audience to those who know and can understand a particular language. Songs of Innocence, which appears to be addressed to innocent children, actually requires some sophistication to be read, much less understood.
The next two poems, "The Shepherd" and "The Ecchoing Green," continue the pastoral atmosphere established by the first poem, but there is an ominous element at the end of the second poem. An old man has been watching the children at play, and they note that he and the other older people remember that they used to play like that in their youth. In the last line, the area is no longer "ecchoing" but "darkening."
The light apparently returns again in "The Lamb," which returns to the biblical idea of the good shepherd of "The Shepherd." A child asks a lamb if the lamb knows who made it, then informs the lamb that "He is called by thy name/ For he calls himself a Lamb./ He is meek, & he is mild./ He became a little child." The child is referring to Jesus, but does not explain why Jesus is called a lamb. Adults know that Jesus was the sacrificial lamb of God, who paid for the sins of humanity with death, like those of the animal sacrifices of the Old Testament.
The source of the description becomes clear in the next poem, in which "The Little Black Boy" cries that "White as an angel is the English child:/ But I am black, as if bereav'd of light." Instead of telling the child that he should be proud of who he is, the boy's mother tells him that this physical life is a trial and preparation for the next, spiritual, world. The little boy then imagines a life after death in which the white child will accept him.
A child's acceptance of a cruel fate because society demands it is also present in "The Chimney Sweeper," the first poem with an urban setting. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, small boys, with their heads shaven for streamlining, swept chimneys, their lungs filling with soot, doing a job that often led to an...

Summary (Masterplots II: Christian Literature)
William Blake himself used as a subtitle of his Songs of Innocence and of Experience (which he illustrated and printed in 1794), "Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul." Ever since, critics have debated the question of whether Blake intended to present the insoluble paradox of the human encounter with God or simply to cast into verse the contrasting experiences of the innocent and the experienced.
If one considers Blake's own moving experience as a child that he attributed to his innocent awareness of God's presence in the world and if, further, one realizes that the experiences of the very young are hardly worth a sympathetic rendering if they are nullified by the experiences of the older and the wiser, then one must take Blake as a visionary poet who knew God both as a child and as a man, wondering throughout at God's power and his glory, while comforted throughout by God's love.
Blake used his poetry to mark and define the discernible division between innocence and experience. The experience of the young and innocent is experience in the course of the movement toward evil and the struggle against evil, while the experience of the older, which includes the experience of guilt, is lightened by a kind of innocent wonder at God's love and forgiveness. The illuminating fact that Blake switched poems back and forth between innocence and experience—himself confused or struck by the ambiguity of the human encounter with God in God's world—reveals the conviction that whether a song is one of innocence or of experience, it is of the contrary states of the human soul.
For the most part, the Songs of Innocence are celebrations of the shepherd in his loving care of the lamb. One realizes through the child's experience that relative to God's care, all persons are lambs; relative to his knowledge, will, and power, all persons are innocent. The child's celebration of God's love is for all persons, both the innocent and the experienced; here, in the mouths of babes, are the truths experience has forgotten. Thus, in his first poem, "The Shepherd," Blake writes that the Shepherd "shall follow his sheep all the day," that "he hears the lambs [sic] innocent call," and that "He is watchful while they are in peace."
Human beings, however, are not simply lambs. In "The Ecchoing Green" (Blake's spelling), the initial image is of the sun's rising, the happy skies, the singing birds, the ringing bells, and the children's sporting on the green. But under the oak the old folk sit and, although laughing at the children's play, remember, surely with some regret, that "Such such were the joys,/ When we all girls and boys,/ In our youth time were seen,/ On the Ecchoing Green." The children become weary, the sun descends, the sports have an end, and there is no more playing "On the darkening Green." The human adventure, then, is from childhood to age, from innocence to experience, from light to darkness, from spontaneous joy to profound sorrow. This human passage, inevitable but both threatening and promising at once, is anticipated in the image of the children's returning to the laps of their parents as the playing ends and the green darkens.
Another kind of cloud, here symbolic not of the course of nature but of the inevitability of confusion and suffering, is thrown over innocence in Blake's poem "The Little Black Boy." The poem begins, "My mother bore me in the southern wild,/ and I am black, but O! my soul is white,/ White as an angel is the English child:/ But I am black as if bereav'd of light." The child's mother tells him that "we are put on earth a little space,/ That we may learn to bear the beams of love" and she promises him that "when our souls have learn'd the heat to bear/ The cloud will vanish . . ." and the child responds that when "I from black and he from white cloud free," he and the English boy will play joyfully around the tent of God: "I'll shade him from the heat till he can bear,/ to lean in joy upon our fathers knee./ and then I'll stand and stroke his silver hair,/ and be like him and he will then love me." Surely there is the experience of suffering in this poem, and there is also the affirmation of faith by which the clouds of human prejudice are dispelled. Innocence anticipates the shock of experience and the recovery through God's love.
Again, injustice intrudes upon the innocent, as portrayed in "The Chimney Sweeper." The young sweep reports that, after his mother died, his father sold him "while yet my tongue,/ Could scarcely cry weep weep weep...

Am I the only one that thinks Tice should have been fired, instead of Lovie?
I think Lovie is a good Coach, but he made his bed. Lovie along with Angelo ignored the Offensive Line, and QB situation while whiffing on numerous 1st round picks, Rex Grossman anyone? He also fired Ron Rivera after the Super Bowl, and the Defense suffered heavily for it. He will be hired, and will probably succeed in his next role based on the lessons he learned in Chicago.

Gillette, Wyo.--The Gillette College Pronghorns (14-10, 8-4) were led by Dwight Anderson's 27 points in a 74-60 win over the Western Wyoming Community College (7-18, 4-8) on Saturday night.
Anderson also tied Kash McKinney and Reece Maxwell for the most three-pointers in a game, by sinking six of them.
Gillette College and Western Wyoming were neck and neck in a few categories in the game, including rebounds, personal fouls, three-pointers, turnovers and free throws made. However, the difference-maker was total field goal percentage. The Pronghorns made 52.7 percent of their baskets; the Mustangs made 38.9 percent.
Gillette College led 38-23 at halftime.
In the second half, the Mustangs were able to cut the lead down to single digits a couple of times, thanks to Western Wyoming's success beyond the arc, too. However, a couple of late three-pointers by Anderson and Lucas Reller helped Gillette College widen the gap. With a couple minutes left in the game, the defense of Gillette College stole a couple balls to keep the Mustangs from finishing the comeback.
Andre Marquez and Myles Henry both finished with 15 points for the Pronghorns, in addition to Anderson's 27. Daveon Gibson led the Mustangs with 19 points.
Earlier in the evening, the #12 Pronghorn women (21-5, 8-4) couldn't avenge the overtime loss in Rock Springs against Western Wyoming Community College (20-4, 10-2), as Gillette College lost, 76-62.
Both Pronghorn teams go on the road Wednesday to take on Little Big Horn College.

Vast amounts of data streams and information needed to be analyzed, combined and actioned upon, creating a complexity that goes far beyond mere human management. Ericsson and Telstra have come up with a proposed coordination center of the future that empowers decision-making.
Energy efficiency features are being integrated in network protocols and management systems. Simulations can provide input on how a particular algorithm would perform in different network conditions. However, building an environment that is able to comprehensively account for interactions between different network functions is difficult.
The IP (Internet Protocol) core network operated by TeliaSonera in Sweden has been studied according to a described definition (system boundary) and extrapolated to a national level for Sweden. A top-down and a bottom-up data collection approach have been used to quantify network equipment and energy consumption. The electricity consumption of the IP core network was about one fourth of the total energy consumption of the connected mobile and fixed access networks. The use stage results for the Swedish IP core network is about 0.08 kWh per GB (Gigabyte) of data traffic corresponding to about 19 g CO2e/GB when applying a Swedish electricity mix. If instead a global average electricity mix is used, the resulting greenhouse gas emission would be about 64 g CO2e/GB. A method is also proposed where the amount of data traffic is used to allocate the IP core network on different usage. The method is exemplified by the 3G mobile broadband data traffic in Sweden.
There is a need for verification of the sustainability potential of an increasing number of smart city initiatives. This paper discuss a set of requirements necessary to consider when developing a methodology intended to evaluate the environmental and socioeconomic sustainability impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions at a city level. A smart city definition is chosen and a model of the city is proposed, dividing the city into service sectors where ICT solutions are expected to be implemented. Requirements on a quantitative methodology for assessing the sustainability potential of ICT solutions in cities are listed, including transparency in selection of city boundary and results, and the importance of setting realistic scenarios and using publicly available data. The methodology activities presented include defining system boundaries, building scenarios and assessing the solution at a city level, and scaling the solution between cities.
In this paper, we forecast the future carbon footprint of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Entertainment and Media (E&M) sectors in the year 2020 including the ICT and E&M related impact from a networked society, i.e. a society where both people and things are connected and communicate with each other. We also discuss sector boundaries, the full impact from the networked society, uncertainty, use of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) as data source and important perspectives when assessing ICT.
The presented LCA-based method can be used when assessing the potential CO2e emission reduction from introducing an ICT-based service. The method was used to analyze the CO2e emissions from the communication networks in Sweden as well as on the effects of introducing smart work solutions at TeliaSonera. For TeliaSonera the CO2e reductions resulting from smart work sum up to about 40% per employee, or over 2.8 ton CO2e per employee and year. The total reduction potential due to smart work in the world was estimated to be 2 % - 4% of global CO2e emissions, if reductions of 20% - 40% can be achieved per employee in a 10 - 20 year timeframe.

ALDS Game 5 preview: Tigers at A's
Tigers at A's
Start time: 8:00 p.m. ET
Series: Tied 2-2
Starting pitchers: Justin Verlander (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Sonny Gray (0-0, 0.00 ERA)
When Justin Verlander and A's rookie Sonny Gray faced off in Game 2 of this series, the result was what remains the best pitchers' duel of this year's playoffs. Neither man allowed a run or an extra-base hit. Verlander surrendered just five baserunners in seven innings and struck out 11. Gray yielded only six baserunners in eight innings and struck out nine. A mere three men reached third base all game. The first Athletic to do so got there with two outs in the seventh, and the second wound up scoring the game's only run on a walkoff single by Stephen Vogt in the bottom of the ninth.
Gray's performance in that game is what convinced A's manager Bob Melvin to choose him over Game 1 starter Bartolo Colon for this assignment. Colon went 18-6 with a 2.65 ERA in the regular season and recovered from a three-run first inning in Game 1 to give the A's five scoreless frames and a quality start, his fifth in a row dating back to the regular season. Gray's Game 2 start, by comparison, was just his second quality start in his last five turns and resulted in his highest pitch count (111) since Aug. 15.
With both teams facing elimination, there's a very good chance that we could see Colon early in this game if Gray falters. The Tigers, however, do not have luxury of turning to their Game 1 starter in relief because they used Max Scherzer for two innings and 47 pitches in Game 4. Then again, they are less likely to need the tandem starter, as Verlander enters this game with active streaks of 20 scoreless innings, five quality starts and three straight starts with a double-digit strikeout total.
In fact, there's reason to believe that, after a down regular season, Verlander is back to being the pitcher he was in 2011 and '12. For one thing, he has regained the velocity he appeared to have lost earlier in the year. Per Brooks Baseball, his average fastball in September was 95.63 miles per hour compared to 95.97 last September and 92.69 in April. Also, after walking 3.5 men per nine innings through the end of July this year, he has walked just 2.3 per nine in August and September, an exact match for his walk rate last season.
That's bad news for Oakland. In this exact same situation one day shy of a year ago — Game 5 of the Division Series in Oakland on Oct. 11, 2012 — Verlander shut out the A's on four hits and a walk while striking out 11 (the exact same totals as his Game 2 start save for the innings) as Detroit won 2-0 and sent the A's home for the winter. Between that series and this one, Verlander has held Oakland to one run over 23 innings in three Division Series starts while striking out 33 men against six walks and 11 hits (that's a 0.74 WHIP and 12.9 K/9). The only run he has allowed in those 23 innings came on a solo home run by the first batter he faced in Game 1 last year (Coco Crisp), meaning that, in addition to his current 20-inning scoreless streak, Verlander has not allowed a run in his last 22 innings against the A's in Division Series play.
It was an incredible accomplishment for the 23-year-old Gray, in just his 13th major league start, to negate Verlander and help the A's win Game 2, but that is unlikely to happen again, particularly given that Detroit had never faced Gray prior to Game 2, but now gets its second look at him in five days.
After scoring in just two innings in the first three games of this series, the Tigers broke out for eight runs in Game 4, and the men leading the way were Jhonny Peralta, who didn't appear in Games 1 or 2, and Victor Martinez, who, among the eight men to start every game of this series for Detroit, has been far and away the team's most productive hitter. Martinez is 6-for-16 in this series with two doubles, a home run and four runs scored. Peralta, after two starts that should guarantee he's back out there again in Game 5 (even though Don Kelly went 2-for-3 off Gray in Game 2), is 3-for-8 with a double, a homer and five RBIs. Prince Fielder and the hobbled Miguel Cabrera, meanwhile, are still without a walk or an extra-base hit in this series.
For the A's, Crisp is 7-for-14 with two doubles, a triple, three walks and four runs scored, surpassing Yoenis Cespedes as Oakland's most productive hitter in the ALDS. Then again, Crisp has gone 0-for-12 against Verlander since that Game 1 home run a year ago. Seth Smith, who has started the last three games at designated hitter after sitting out this year's Game 1, is 5-for-12 with a home run and had one of the four hits off Verlander in Game 2, as well as the single that put the winning run in scoring position in the ninth inning that night.
Other than Scherzer, no reliever on either team threw more than Tiger closer Joaquin Benoit's 26 pitches in Game 4, so, with a day of rest, all should be fully available for this game.
After a slow start, the Division Series round couldn't get a more compelling ending than this matchup of an elite veteran ace and an emerging young prospect, echoing Wednesday night's NLDS finale between the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright and the Pirates' Gerrit Cole that was won by St. Louis.
It's a fitting finale, as well, given that it is a rematch of last year's Game 5 in Oakland and features last year's American League pennant winners, the Tigers. This is the third time the two teams have met in a best-of-five series, and all three have now gone the full five games. The A's won the 1972 American League Championship Series best remembered for Bert Campaneris throwing his bat at Detroit pitcher Lerrin LaGrow and Reggie Jackson tearing his hamstring on a steal of home in Game 5. The Tigers won last year in a series best remembered for Verlander's dominance. How will this series be remembered? We'll soon find out.

Update on Cardinal George's Cancer Condition Friday, March 7, 2014
Cardinal George has met with his medical team who has recommended a new regime of chemotherapy to address current signs of activity of cancer cells surrounding his right kidney. The Cardinal was diagnosed with urothelial cancer in August 2012 and underwent chemotherapy at that time. The cancer, dormant for well over a year, is still confined to the area of his right kidney. After extensive testing, scans, biopsies and diagnosis, it was agreed that the best course of action is for the Cardinal to enter into a regimen of chemotherapy, with drugs more aggressive than those used in the first round but for a more limited duration initially. Cardinal George intends to maintain his administrative and public schedule during this current round of chemotherapy, although it may occasionally be reduced because of lowered immunity. As he prepares for this next round of chemotherapy, the Cardinal has spoken directly about this new stage in his life journey in a portion of his column, "Lent: Taking Stock of our Lives," in the current issue of the Catholic New World, www.catholicnewworld.com.
The Cardinal's Column March 8 - 22, 2014
Lent: Taking stock of our lives
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Pope Francis, in his Lenten Message for 2014, writes about Gospel poverty. Poverty, he explains is a way of being one with Christ, who "became poor, so that by his poverty we might become rich." Poverty, the pope writes, is Christ's "way of loving us, his way of being our neighbor, just as the Good Samaritan was neighbor to the man left half dead by the side of the road. What gives us true freedom, true salvation and true happiness is the compassion, tenderness and solidarity of his love." More

I know the 41 year old woman in this story who had the laptop stolen. It WAS local kids from the neighborhood. They were caught because the were stupid enough to try to pawn the laptop at the pawn shop in Schwenksville. The State Police had already warned the local pawn shops to be on the look out for it. Luckily she got her laptop back which had irreplaceable photos and other files on it. The kids were 16 and 17, so unfortunately their names probably won't make into this story and embarrass the hell out of them and their families so they keep their thieving little a$$es out of trouble in the future.

I know the owner of the "pawn shop" and it was not the police that called them it was the woman who had her car broken into that called. The police only got involved after they were called by the "pawn shop" about the person bringing in a computer that had been reported stolen by the owner. You guys give the police too much credit.

It was my laptop that was stolen - and yes, it was finally returned. I thought I would set the record straight and tell you the whole story. Friday night I accidentally left my laptop/pocket book and keys in the car - I was rushing to get to a neighbors house to pick up my daughter, On Saturday, I noticed my laptop and money were missing. The police came out immediately to write a report and fingerprinted the car. I was very upset - and the Trooper told me it might make sense to head over the the local pawnshop and check it out. I had harsh judgements of pawn shops - crocked business and con artists. But, as soon as I walked in I was convinced otherwise.
Candee - who works Saturdays for The Gold Post in Schwenksville - was nothing but nice and empathetic to my story. I told her how my laptop was stolen, how it had years of priceless photos of my two kids, how i would do anything to get it back. She assured me, that if my laptop came into the shop (or their sister shop) that she would call me. And 1.5 hours later, she did! (YAY!!!) But she couldn't buy the laptop since it was stolen (NO!!!). Instead, she called the police and gave them a description. The police knew immediately who it was. By Sunday night, the police called to tell me the laptop was recovered. All my photos were still on the computer and that the criminals were arrested. The police did their job - but I owe the majority of this to Candee. And today, I stopped in to thank her with a well deserved reward.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia University Athletic Director Oliver Luck is proposing a $2.3 million land purchase for a new baseball stadium near Morgantown, and the Board of Governors will consider it Thursday.
The Dominion Post said Luck is eyeing 7 acres near the University Town Centre that is currently owned by a private developer.
The three-story, $16 million Mountaineer Ballpark would be funded with tax-increment financing.
WVU, Fairmont State University and the New York-Penn League have expressed interest in playing there. Luck has also said the stadium could host youth baseball events and concerts.
Discussions about who will handle daily operations are continuing, but Luck said in an email to the newspaper that WVU will likely assume the responsibility.
The developers plan to award a contract this fall and start construction in December. They're also planning about $5 million in preliminary road and intersection improvements near the Granville shopping center.
When the stadium is done, developers would build a $24 million exit along Interstate 79.

Oolong Tea
Oolong Tea is partly oxidised, from 10-70%, making it the most diverse of all types of tea. Somewhere between a green tea and a black tea, the flavours of oolong can range from dark and smoky to light and fruity. Oolong is fast becoming a very popular tea in the West, due to its relatively easing brewing process and extraordinary range and depth of flavour.
Li Shan Oolong 50g
Classic high-grown Taiwanese mountain Oolong. Li Shan (Pear Mountain) is one the highest tea-growing region in Taiwan with elevations of 1700m to 2600m. Li Shan's moist, cool terroir produces teas of exceptional quality: this Li Shan is soft, floral and buttery.

A Missense Mutation in the Zinc-Finger Domain of the Human Hairless Gene Underlies Congenital Atrichia in a Family of Irish Travellers The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 63, Issue 4, 1 October 1998, Pages 984-991 Wasim Ahmad, Alan D. Irvine, HaMut Lam, Colin Buckley, E. Ann Bingham, Andrei A. Panteleyev, Mahmud Ahmad, John A. McGrath and Angela M. Christiano Abstract Summary Congenital atrichia is a rare, recessively inherited form of hair loss affecting both males and females and is characterized by a complete absence of hair follicles. Recently, a mutation in the human hairless gene was implicated in the pathogenesis of congenital atrichia. The human hairless gene encodes a putative single zinc-finger transcription-factor protein with restricted expression in brain and skin, which is believed to regulate catagen remodeling in the hair cycle. In this study, we report the identification of a missense mutation in the zinc-finger domain of the hairless gene in a large inbred family of Irish Travellers with congenital atrichia. The mutated arginine residue is conserved among human, mouse, and rat, suggesting that it is of significant importance to the function of the zinc-finger domain.

Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment Trends in Molecular Medicine, Volume 7, Issue 7, 1 July 2001, Pages 293-301 George Cotsarelis and Sarah E Millar Abstract Most common forms of hair loss (alopecia) are caused by aberrant hair follicle cycling and changes in hair follicle morphology. However, current treatments for alopecia do not specifically target these processes. We are now beginning to identify the molecules and molecular pathways that control normal hair follicle formation, cycling and growth. In parallel, new techniques are being developed for delivering molecules to hair follicles. Here, we outline the characteristics of common hair loss diseases, and discuss ways in which recent advances in hair follicle biology could be translated into effective therapies for these conditions.

The Gene for Hypotrichosis of Marie Unna Maps between D8S258 and D8S298: Exclusion of the hr Gene by cDNA and Genomic Sequencing The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 65, Issue 2, 1 August 1999, Pages 413-419 Maurice van Steensel, Frances J.D. Smith, Peter M. Steijlen, Irma Kluijt, Howard P. Stevens, Andrew Messenger, Hannie Kremer, M. Giles S. Dunnill, Cameron Kennedy, Colin S. Munro, Valerie R. Doherty, John A. McGrath, Seana P. Covello, Carrie M. Coleman, Jouni Uitto and W. H. Irwin McLean Abstract Summary Hypotrichosis of Marie Unna (MU) is an autosomal dominant hair-loss disorder with onset in childhood. A genomewide search for the gene was performed in a large Dutch family using 400 fluorescent microsatellite markers. Linkage was detected with marker D8S258, and analysis of this family and a further British kindred with additional markers in the region gave a combined maximum two-point LOD score of 13.42, with D8S560. Informative recombinants placed the MU gene in a 2.4-cM interval between markers D8S258 and D8S298. Recently, recessive mutations in the hr gene were reported in families with congenital atrichia, and this gene was previously mapped close to the MU interval. By radiation-hybrid mapping, we placed the hr gene close to D8S298 but were unable to exclude it from the MU interval. This, with the existence of the semidominant murine hr allele, prompted us to perform mutation analysis for this gene. Full-length sequencing of hr cDNA obtained from an affected individual showed no mutations. Similarly, screening of all exons of the hr gene amplified from the genomic DNA of an affected individual revealed no mutations. Analysis of expressed sequences and positional cloning of the MU locus is underway. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (537 kb) |

Recently, we showed that atrichia with papular lesions (APL), a rare inherited form of alopecia, is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait in a large inbred kindred of Israeli-Arab origin. Furthermore, we mapped the APL locus to a 5-cM region of chromosome 8p12 in this family. The human "hairless" gene is a candidate target gene for the disease mutation because it maps to the APL locus and because it was recently found to be mutated in a related but clinically distinct form of alopecia known as "alopecia universalis" or "congenital alopecia." In the present study, the coding sequence of the hairless gene was compared by reverse transcription–PCR in fibroblast cell lines derived from an affected patient and an unrelated individual. We identified a single-base deletion (3434delC) in the hairless gene that cosegregated with the disease phenotype in the family. This deletion is predicted to cause a frameshift mutation in the highly conserved C-terminal part of the hairless protein, a region putatively involved in the transcription factor activity of the hairless gene product. The present results are indicative of phenotypic heterogeneity in inherited atrichias caused by mutations in the hairless gene, suggesting different roles for the regions mutated in APL and in other forms of congenital atrichia during hair development.

Scale-dependence of the Negative Binomial Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood Estimator
Following Santos Silva and Tenreyro (2006), various studies have used the Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood to estimate gravity specifications of trade flows and non-count data models more generally. Some papers also report results based on the Negative Binomial estimator, which is more general and encompasses the Poisson assumption as a special case. This note shows that the Negative Binomial estimator is inappropriate when applied to a continuous dependent variable which unit choice is arbitrary, because estimates artificially depend on that choice.Download Info

World's Tallest Bungee Jumps
Adrenaline junkies agree few outdoors and adventure experiences beat the rush of leaping headfirst into thin air, taking a plunging free fall and coming perilously close to crashing into land before being bounced back toward the sky -- safely attached to a bungee cord. True bungee addicts strive to jump from the wildest, record-breaking structures on Earth, and here we've gathered the world's 5 tallest, most adrenaline-filled bungee jumps.Note: We have not included Colorado's 956-foot-high Royal Gorge Bridge, because, although it has been used for bungee jumping in the past, it is no longer open to the public for jumps.
Macau Tower (Macau, China)
Height: 760 feet
The AJ Hackett Macau Tower bungee jump officially ranks as the world's highest bungee jump, letting jumpers pitch off the tower from an astonishing 764 feet above ground. This adrenaline junkie's dream lets you free-fall for more than 6 seconds before your bungee cord rebounds -- but not before you've come within a mere 98 feet from the ground.AJ Hackett is one of the world's most trusted bungee outfitters, and the Macau Tower jump features specially designed bungee cords that rebound up and down, as opposed to side to side, which would increase the jumper's risk of swinging and hitting the tower. People visiting the tower who want a bit of excitement without committing to a bungee jump, can try the Skyjump, a tethered, 17-second descent from the same height to the ground.
Verzasca Dam (Ticino, Switzerland)
Height: 721 feet
Make like James Bond in GoldenEye and take the plunge off Switzerland's Verzasca Dam, a 720-foot arch dam spanning the Verzasca River, though unlike Bond (or his stunt double), you'll have the bounce of a bungee cord to protect you. The dam played a starring role in the opening sequence of the 1995 Bond film, leading to a portion of it being leased to Trekking Team adventure outfitters.The company now offers a series of jumps off the dam, including a classic plunge and a backward jump. Of course, if you're willing to dive off the 721-foot ledge, you might not have many fears -- like a fear of the dark. In that case, put your courage to the test and try one of Trekking Team's night jumps, a heart-pounding good time.
Bloukrans Bridge (Western Cape, South Africa)
Height: 710 feet
Once you've caught the bungee-jumping bug, you'll have to start checking landmark jumps off your list, not least of which is Bloukrans Bridge, the world's highest single-span arch bridge, at 709 feet. The bridge was the first in Africa to be jumped off when Face Adrenalin introduced bungee jumping to the continent in 1990, and remains a popular destination for adventure-seeking tourists.A walkway created by the outfitter hangs below the highway that runs across the bridge. Bungee jumpers trek across the walkway until they reach the highest part of the bridge's arch; here, they take the plunge amid the extraordinary vistas of the Eastern and Western Cape. If you're too nervous to bungee jump, it's still possible to journey onto the walkway and admire the breathtaking views of the river below and mountains beyond.
Europabrücke Bridge (Innsbruck, Austria)
Height: 630 feet
If you've grown weary of playing culture vulture on your European vacation, switch gears to an activity that's a bit more … death-defying, like bungee jumping off Austria's Europabrücke Bridge. This massive, 630-foot-tall structure spans more than 2,500 feet across the Wipp Valley, and supports the stretch of Autobahn twisting through the Alps between western Austria and Italy. Rupert Hirner Bungy Jumping operates the jumps off the bridge, and offers a variety of wild options including Rocket Bungy and Bungy Running.5
Niouc Bridge (Val d'Anniviers, Switzerland)
Height: 623 feet
Stretching across part of a 656-foot canyon in Val d'Anniviers, the Niouc Bridge offers bungee jumpers the chance to leap from the world's highest suspension bridge -- a thrilling, if shaky experience (as anyone who's ever walked a suspension bridge can imagine).The jump leads to a 623 foot fall, and the views from the bridge are awe-inspiring: Jumpers are surrounded by typically crisp, blue skies, vast mountains and the Navizence River swirling below. If taking the bungee plunge isn't enough adrenaline for one day, join one of Bungy Niouc's other activities, like the "Giant Swing," a bungee-like jump that moves you in an enormous circular drop, rather than a vertical plunge, or you can embark on a hair-raising ride on the 720-foot handheld zip line.

Landon is back for a second shoot. He liked being here so much, he couldn't stay away. And who are we to deny him this guilty pleasure? He's super excited about this session and so are we 'cuz getting to watch this appealing young jock perform again - this time with a toy - is like putting butter on a biscuit. Nothing beats watching Landon wih his hand on his hard on. And when he slips the ribbed rubber sleeve onto his slicked-up dick, we feel its tightness strangling the throbbing cock. The thrill factor heightens as he slides the rubber cocoon up and down his shaft and even after when he finally lets go to shoot his load.

One unusual aspect of the observatory hunt is that participants are not allowed to use two-way radios. The observatory is located at the center of a federally designated "radio quiet" zone.
All hunters at Blennerhassett must hunt from tree stands elevated at least 8 feet off the ground. Hunters at Stonewall must choose to hunt from tree stands or ground blinds, or be assigned to the park's "free roaming" area. Hunters at the observatory will be sent to zones designated for archery equipment, muzzleloaders or shotguns.
As is the case with all controlled hunts, the focus will be on killing antlerless deer. On each morning of all the hunts, however, DNR officials will conduct on-site lotteries that will allow a few hunters (four at Stonewall and five at Blennerhassett and the observatory) to take either bucks or does.
All of the deer killed in the controlled hunts are considered "bonus deer," and will not count against hunters' yearly bag limits.
Permits to participate in the controlled hunts are free, but all applicants must have valid West Virginia hunting licenses or must be legally exempt.
Applications are available online at www.wvdnr.gov under the "Hunting" heading and the "Controlled Hunts" subheading; or at DNR district offices, the DNR Elkins Operations Center, the DNR main headquarters in South Charleston, West Virginia state park and state forest offices; and at the West Virginia Wildlife Center in French Creek.
Completed applications for the observatory hunt should be mailed to the NRAO, P.O. Box 2, Green Bank WV, 24944; and must be received on or before Aug. 2.
Applications for the state park hunts should be mailed to the DNR, P.O. Box 67, Elkins WV, 26241, and must be received on or before Aug. 19.

While some roads are easier than others, some teams find themselves in dog fights every week. For the 2012 Glen Rose Beavers and Harding Academy Wildcats, this season has been one to remember.

Timer in Title?

Since the update to 12.1, it seems the option to show the timer in the title bar has been removed. I actually found that to be one of the most useful features of the script, and I really miss it. Did the change to fix timer restarts make this feature impractical? I'd love to have it back. |

Hi marcmagus, I assumed that it wasn't working (I play on the FB site) so I removed it. It seems that it actually works on the mousehuntgame.com site. I'll reimplement it now... expect a release in about 30 mins. DSXC |

I just installed your script and the timer is not working, which makes the horn not appear. |

There seems to be some issue currently with FF12 and MHH... not sure what is causing it but it works fine in Google Chrome. I've just done an update and hoping that this will fix everyone's issue (it works fine for me on both FF12 and GC). |
