From August 7 to September 10 in 1888, "Jack the Ripper" terrorized the Whitechapel district in London's East End. He killed at least five prostitutes and mutilated their bodies in an unusual manner, indicating that the killer had a knowledge of human anatomy. Jack the Ripper was never captured, and remains one of England's, and the world's, most infamous criminals.
'Jack the Ripper'
Known for committing gruesome murders from August 7 to September 10 in 1888, "Jack the Ripper"—a moniker for the notorious serial killer, who was never identified—remains one of England's, and the world's, most infamous criminals.
The culprit responsible for the murders of five prostitutes—all took place within a mile of each other, and involved the districts of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Aldgate and the City of London—in London's East End in the autumn of 1888 was never apprehended. Despite countless investigations claiming definitive evidence of the brutal killer's identity, his name and motive are still unkown. The moniker "Jack the Ripper" originates from a letter written by someone who claimed to be the Whitechapel butcher, published at the time of the attacks.
Adding to the mystery of the affair is the fact that several letters were sent by the killer to the London Metropolitan Police Service, also known as the Scotland Yard, taunting officers about his gruesome activities and speculating on murders to come. Various theories about Jack the Ripper's identity have been produced over the past several decades, which include claims accusing the famous Victorian painter Walter Sickert, a Polish migrant and even the grandson of Queen Victoria. Since 1888, more than 100 suspects have been named, contributing to widespread folklore and ghoulish entertainment surrounding the mystery.
In the late 1800s, London's East End was a place that was viewed by citizens with either compassion or utter contempt. Despite being an area where skilled immigrants, mainly Jews and Russians, came to start a new life and start businesses, the district was notorious for squalor, violence and crime. Prostitution was only illegal if the practice caused a public disturbance, and thousands of brothels and low-rent lodging houses provided sexual services during the late 19th century.
At that time, the death or murder of a working girl was rarely reported in the press or discussed within polite society. The reality was that "ladies of the night" were subject to physical attacks, which sometimes resulted in death. Among these common violent crimes was the attack of English prostitute Emma Smith, who was beaten and raped with an object by four men. Smith, who later died of peritonitis, is remembered as one of many unfortunate female victims who were killed by gangs demanding protection money.
However, the series of killings that began in August 1888 stood out from other violent crime of the time: They were marked by sadistic butchery, suggesting a mind more sociopathic and hateful than most citizens could comprehend.

How might GM1 gangliosidosis be treated?
There is currently no effective medical treatment for GM1 gangliosidosis.[1] Symptomatic treatment for some of the neurologic signs and symptoms is available, but does not significantly alter the progression of the condition.[2][3] For example, anticonvulsants may initially control seizures. Supportive treatments may include proper nutrition and hydration, and keeping the affected individual's airway open.[4]
Bone marrow transplantation was reportedly successful in an individual with infantile/juvenile GM1 gangliosidosis; however, no long-term benefit was reported. Presymptomatic cord-blood hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation has been advocated by some as a possible treatment due to its success in other lysosomal storage disorders.[1] Active research in the areas of enzyme replacement and gene therapy for the condition is ongoing but has not yet advanced to human trials.[2][3]
Neurologic and orthopedic sequelae may prevent adequate physical activity, but affected individuals may benefit from physical and occupational therapy.[1]

Editors' Note 04/17/2008: The rating on this review has been modified from 8.0 to 7.6 due to changes in the competitive marketplace.
The Panasonic TH-42PZ700U is one of the most expensive 42-inch plasmas on the market, but it's also the best-performing flat panel of its size we've ever tested. The high price can be blamed squarely on its native resolution--it's the first and only 42-inch 1080p plasma--but the picture quality has little to do with all those pixels. Instead, we noted its deep black levels and realistic shadow detail along with a commendably clean image. Of course, we could complain about other aspects of its performance, namely its color accuracy, but that's not enough to spoil an excellent picture. If you have the cash to burn but don't have the space to go bigger, the Panasonic TH-42PZ700U fits the bill perfectly.
Basic, glossy black defines the style of the Panasonic TH-42PX700U and its larger cousins in the TH-PZ700U series of 1080p plasmas. The 42-inch screen is surrounded by a rather thick black frame, with the top edge angled back slightly from the main front plane. Its sides are augmented by a pair of inch-wide speakers with tiny perforations for better blend-in, and its bottom edge is raked back to match the top. A central flip-up door hides inputs and controls, while a smaller door to the right conceals the memory card slot. Panasonic includes a matching pedestal stand.
Including the stand, the TH-42PX700U measures 42.5 inches wide by 29.8 inches high by 14.6 inches deep, and weighs 99 pounds. Remove the stand and it measures 42.5 inches wide by 27.2 inches high by 5.5 inches deep, and weighs 83.8 pounds.
We really liked Panasonic's remote. Its layout is basically the same as last year's model, but the somewhat larger buttons feel much better. Its keys--of which there are just the right number--are arranged quite logically, and although there's no backlighting, we appreciated the ease with which we were able to locate buttons by feel. The remote can control as many as three other devices. Panasonic's internal menu system is intuitive enough, although we disliked the ease with which you can inadvertently erase your picture settings.
As we've mentioned, the Panasonic TH-42PZ700U's main claim to fame is its pixel count. It has a native resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels (or, 1080p), the highest available today, and significantly higher than the 1,024x768 resolution commonly available at this screen size. As we found, however, you'll have to sit quite close to the screen to appreciate the benefits of 1080p (see below). All of those pixels allow it to resolve every detail of 1080i and 1080p sources, while all other sources, including 720p HDTV, DVD, and standard-definition television, are scaled to fit the pixels.
Otherwise, the TH-42PZ700U has the feature set of a perfectly normal flat-panel HDTV. It incorporates a good number of picture adjustments, although there is one missing piece--it lacks the ability to fine-tune color temperature beyond the three presets. We did appreciate that the three overall picture presets are adjustable, and there's a fourth adjustable mode labeled "Custom" that's independent per input.
There are a few advanced controls we mostly disabled for critical viewing. The color management control is said to enhance blue and green, but we found that color balance was more accurate when it was turned off. A setting labeled C.A.T.S. supposedly adjusts brightness to optimize contrast on the fly, so we left it off. There are three kinds of noise reduction settings--more on their effects below. In addition to a selector for 3:2 pulldown, you can choose between two HDMI black levels. Light was our preference, as Dark obscured details in shadows.
In addition to the five aspect ratio modes for HD sources, there are four for standard-def. Although the Panasonic lacks a specific mode designed to perfectly match incoming 1080-resolution signals to the 1080p panel with no overscan (a setting known as "dot-by-dot" on some HDTVs), you can achieve the same effect by selecting the Full mode and choosing Size 2 from the HD size selection of the Other adjust section of the Picture menu. We'd prefer the option to be easier to change--you'll want to switch to Size 1 if you notice interference or lines at the extreme edge of the image when in Size 2 mode--but at least it's there.
Convenience junkies will be bummed by the lack of picture-in-picture. Like many HDTV makers this year, Panasonic offers a version of control-over-HDMI, branded EZ-Synch, that allows other so-equipped Panasonic devices to be controlled via the HDMI connection using an on-screen interface and the TV's remote. We were disappointed, however, by the lack of menu item choices to deal with "image retention" or burn-in should it occur--features that can be found on many plasmas, including Panasonic's own professional models. (Update 08-06-2007) While the menu lacks burn-in-related items , this and all other 2007 Panasonic plasmas have an always-on "pixel wobbling" feature that imperceptibly shifts the image one pixel at a time to avoid burn-in. The 4:3 aspect ratio modes also include a screen saver, although it's useless when the TV is set to a widescreen (16:9) mode and you depend on an external souce, such as a cable box, to change aspect ratios.
Somewhat surprisingly for an HDTV in this price range, the TH-42PZ700U's connectivity suite includes not three HDMI inputs--as found on many high-end HDTVs this year--but just two. There's also a VGA-style PC input (1280x1024 maximum resolution), a pair of component-video inputs, two AV inputs with composite- and S-video, an RF-style antenna input, and an optical digital output for the ATSC tuner. A panel on the front flips up to reveal controls and another AV input with composite- and S-video, while a second panel hides a slot for SD, SDHC, and miniSD (adapter required) cards, allowing you to display JPEG digital photos on the big screen.
Panasonic also makes a pair of larger plasmas in its 1080p series: the 50-inch TH-50PZ700U and the 58-inch TH-58PZ700U.
At the end of our testing we were convinced that the Panasonic TH-42PX700U produced the best picture of any 42-inch flat-panel display, plasma or LCD, that we've reviewed so far. The credit doesn't necessarily go to the set's high resolution--in fact, depending on how close you like to sit, those extra pixels don't matter at all--but rather to its deep blacks, excellent shadow detail, and clean image. We'd definitely like to see more-accurate color, but that's our only real complaint.

When the Libyan intelligence operative Abdel Baset al-Megrahi eventually dies of the prostate cancer that so controversially won him his freedom from a Scottish prison, his death will trigger headlines around the world.
But few tears will be shed for the only man ever found guilty of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am 103 – until 9/11, the most lethal terrorist attack ever on American civilians.
Certainly not by the American families, who felt shock and revulsion at al-Megrahi's release. Nor by American politicians, infuriated at the long list of British and Scottish officials who have refused to testify before a Senate committee investigating possible backroom deals involving Scottish and British officials, British commercial interests and the Libyan government.
Yet by the accounts of those who knew him best, the convicted man himself will go to his grave insisting he was innocent of the murder of the 270 passengers, crew and residents, who perished at Lockerbie in Scotland, that December night.
Drawing exclusively on a previously confidential, legal report, The Pan Am Bomber reveals the evidence that would have been presented in al-Megrahi's stillborn appeal against his conviction.
Our investigation is backed up by 97 gigabytes of official documents, whistleblower testimony and photographic evidence - all of which will explain why and how al-Megrahi's conviction was fatally flawed. It reveals how the chain of evidence used to convict al-Megrahi was broken and, in at least one crucial instance, tampered with.
It also shows why it was in the interest of all of the parties (except the convicted man himself) to make sure that the appeal was never heard.
Lockerbie: The Pan Am bomber can be seen from Thursday, November 17, at the following times GMT: Thursday: 2000; Friday: 0600; Saturday: 0100; Sunday: 0600; Monday: 2000; Tuesday: 1200; Wednesday: 0100; Thursday: 0600.

Trade-Ideas: Estee Lauder Cos (EL) Is Today's "Storm The Castle" Stock
Editor's Note: Any reference to TheStreet Ratings and its underlying recommendation does not reflect the opinion of TheStreet, Inc. or any of its contributors including Jim Cramer or Stephanie Link.Trade-Ideas LLC identified Estee Lauder Cos (EL) as a "storm the castle" (crossing above the 200-day simple moving average on higher than normal relative volume) candidate. In addition to specific proprietary factors, Trade-Ideas identified Estee Lauder Cos as such a stock due to the following factors:
- EL has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $157.9 million.
- EL has traded 140,263 shares today.
- EL is trading at 1.82 times the normal volume for the stock at this time of day.
- EL crossed above its 200-day simple moving average.
'Storm the Castle' stocks are worth watching because trading stocks that begin to experience a breakout can lead to potentially massive profits. Once psychological and technical resistance barriers like the 200-day moving average are breached on higher than normal relative volume, the stock is then free to find new buyers and momentum traders who can ultimately push the stock significantly higher. Regardless of the impetus behind the price and volume action, when a stock moves with strength and volume it can indicate the start of a new trend on which early investors can capitalize on. In the event of a well-timed trading opportunity, combining technical indicators with fundamental trends and a disciplined trading methodology should help you take the first steps towards investment success.EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in EL with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas. See the FREE profile for EL NOW at Trade-IdeasMore details on EL: The Estee Lauder Companies Inc. engages in the manufacture, marketing, and sale of skin care, makeup, fragrance, and hair care products worldwide. The stock currently has a dividend yield of 1.1%. EL has a PE ratio of 26.1. Currently there are 8 analysts that rate Estee Lauder Cos a buy, 1 analyst rates it a sell, and 4 rate it a hold.The average volume for Estee Lauder Cos has been 1.8 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Estee Lauder Cos has a market cap of $16.0 billion and is part of the consumer goods sector and consumer non-durables industry. The stock has a beta of 1.18 and a short float of 2.1% with 1.80 days to cover. Shares are up 12.4% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday.STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more.TheStreetRatings.com Analysis:TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Estee Lauder Cos as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat disappointing return on equity.Highlights from the ratings report include:
- EL's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 6.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.9%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.41, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.38, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- LAUDER (ESTEE) COS INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, LAUDER (ESTEE) COS INC increased its bottom line by earning $2.58 versus $2.16 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.89 versus $2.58).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Personal Products industry. The net income increased by 83.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $51.20 million to $94.00 million.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, the stock's rise over the last year has already helped drive it to a level which is relatively expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that the other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.

Title: | Atomic layer deposition and characterization of stoichiometric erbium oxide thin dielectrics on Si(1 0 0) using (CpMe)3Er precursor and ozone |
Author(s): | Xu, Runshen; Tao, Qian; Yang, Yi; Takoudis, Christos G. |
Abstract: | Thin stoichiometric erbium oxide films were atomic layer deposited on p-type Si(100) substrates using tris(methylcyclopentadienyl)erbium and ozone. The film growth rate was found to be 0.12 ± 0.01 nm/cycle with an atomic layer deposition temperature window of 170-330 ºC. X-ray photoelectron spectral (XPS) analysis of the resulting Er2O3 films indicated the as-deposited films to be stoichiometric with no evidence of carbon contamination. Studies of post deposition annealing effects on resulting films and interfaces were done using Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, XPS, glancing incidence X-ray diffraction, and optical surface profilometry. As-deposited Er2O3 films were found to crystallize in the cubic structure with dominant (222) orientation; no erbium silicate was found at the interface. After annealing at 800 ºC in N2 for 5 min, a new XPS feature was found and it was assigned to the formation of erbium silicate. As the annealing temperature was increased, the interfacial erbium silicate content was found to increase in the temperature range studied. |

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Thousands in Kanawha County remain without power, and many will begin cleaning out their refrigerators, throwing away food that still could be used at local pantries.
Manna Meal Executive Director Jean Simpson hopes everyone keeps local pantries in mind before tossing food in the trash.
"We're open and I'm willing to take anything out of their freezers so they don't have to throw it away," Simpson said. "We want to be able to use this food."
The food would be distributed to other pantries, handed out at the Manna Meal pantry or cooked for the soup kitchen, she said.
Staff members check all food to make sure it hasn't spoiled and is safe to eat.
"We can tell by the color or the smell if it's spoiled," she said. "And if there's any doubt, we can put it in the microwave and we'll smell the ammonia when it's being cooked."
Simpson expects to begin serving more people now that snow has stopped falling.
Tuesday's storm kept many people inside, but they will begin making their way to the charitable organizations for food now that the weather is not as bad, she said.
The Manna Meal soup kitchen served 325 people on Tuesday - 200 during lunch and 125 at breakfast. They typically serve about 325 per day.
"I expect to see more people in the next few days," she said.
The longer power stays off, the more people Simpson will see.
The pantry is holding up well, but Manna Meal is always in need of donations, especially cereal, pasta and canned meat and fruit, Simpson said.
The agency is also in need of winter clothes like hats, jackets, scarves and gloves, she said.
"We're definitely giving out more hats, coats and gloves now that the weather has gotten colder," Simpson said.
Donations can be brought to St. John's Episcopal Church, located at the corner of Leon Sullivan Way and Quarrier Street. Donations can be dropped off at the entrance to the kitchen area off the back alley, Simpson said.
Donors also may call ahead. The number is 304-345-7121.

Celina McPhail's mom wouldn't let her have a Facebook account. The 12-year-old is on Instagram instead.
Her mother, Maria McPhail, agreed to let her download the app onto her iPod Touch, because she thought she was fostering an interest in photography. But Ms. McPhail, of Austin, Texas, has learned that Celina and her friends mostly use the service to post and "like" Photoshopped photo-jokes and text messages they create on another free app called Versagram. When kids can't get on Facebook, "they're good at finding ways around that," she says.
Parents checking Facebook are seeing only the tip of the iceberg. Katherine Rosman on Lunch Break looks at all the other places where kids go online and how new groups are teaching them to better navigate this world. Photo: KidzVuz.com.
It's harder than ever to keep an eye on the children. Many parents limit their preteens' access to well-known sites like Facebook and monitor what their children do online. But with kids constantly seeking new places to connect—preferably, unsupervised by their families—most parents are learning how difficult it is to prevent their kids from interacting with social media.
Children are using technology at ever-younger ages. About 15% of kids under the age of 11 have their own mobile phone, according to eMarketer. The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project reported last summer that 16% of kids 12 to 17 who are online used Twitter, double the number from two years earlier.
Parents worry about the risks of online predators and bullying, and there are other concerns. Kids are creating permanent public records, and they may encounter excessive or inappropriate advertising. Yet many parents also believe it is in their kids' interest to be nimble with technology.
Playground is a site where school kids can learn Internet literacy.
As families grapple with how to use social media safely, many marketers are working to create social networks and other interactive applications for kids that parents will approve. Some go even further, seeing themselves as providing a crucial education in online literacy—"training wheels for social media," as Rebecca Levey of social-media site KidzVuz puts it.
Last week, 20 companies pitched online and mobile products for kids in Pasadena, Calif., at the 6th annual Digital Kids Conference. This summer, Microsoft MSFT -0.66% Microsoft Corp.

Scholastic will preview a new version of Storia, an interactive e-reading application aimed at kids ages 3 to 14. "As kids migrate more to devices, we don't want to be left out," says Deborah Forte, president of Scholastic Media.
"Digital media is a great thing for kids; even a 12-year-old can have a personal brand," says Stephanie Schwab, the founder of the Digital Family convention. Her 3-year-old uses an iPad every day. When Ms. Schwab recently wondered out loud what the weather was like, her son responded, "Ask Siri."
Kids flock to sites such as FashionPlaytes.com, for girls interested in designing clothes. FahsionPlaytes.com
KidzVuz is a social media start-up aimed at teaching kids how to create content at an early age. Kids create a profile with a handle (say, "GossipGirl") but no name, and parents have to approve the account. Kids then create video reviews of books, films, food and clothes. There is no private messaging, and comments are actively monitored for nastiness.
The site was launched by two technologically active mothers in New York City. One co-founder, Ms. Levey, says the idea is create a safe place for children to learn how to communicate effectively and politely on a medium that will be key to their social, academic and economic lives.
Autumn Miller, a 10-year-old, has nearly 6,000 people following her Facebook fanpage postings.
Faith King, a 9-year-old third grader in Red Bank, N.J., says since she starting posting video reviews to KidzVuz, she has learned important lessons of film production. "You need to make sure the lights are on so people can see you," she says. She also has learned to focus on interesting content. "Don't review a dictionary," she advises.
Her mother, Cristie Ritz-King, says her daughter's love of the site has prompted many conversations about the importance of being skeptical about strangers online and questioning the accuracy of information. She wants her daughter to learn early on to be agile with social media. "It's never going away," she says.
Alexa Ashley, 14, is on Instagram.
The University of Southern California's Annenberg Innovation Lab has created "Playground," a social platform for school-age students. The idea is for kids to learn how to create Internet content—and to consider the implications of privacy, the permanence of a Web footprint, the basics of brand building and a little about online manners. Educators need to teach Internet literacy at an early age, says Erin Reilly, Playground's creator. "Kids are always going to find a back door for communication and collaboration," she says.

More quote details and news » 's Club Penguin, kids are flocking to newer sites such as FashionPlaytes.com, a meeting place aimed at girls ages 5 to 12 who are interested in designing clothes, and Everloop, a social network for kids under the age of 13. Viddy, a video-sharing site which functions similarly to Instagram, is becoming more popular with kids and teenagers as well.
On KidzVuz, a new social media site, there is no private messaging and comments are actively monitored.
Some kids do join YouTube, Google, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter, despite policies meant to bar kids under 13. These sites require that users enter their date of birth upon signing up, and they must be at least 13 years old. Apple—which requires an account to download apps like Instagram to an iPhone—has the same requirement. But there is little to bar kids from entering a false date of birth or getting an adult to set up an account. Instagram declined to comment.
"If we learn that someone is not old enough to have a Google account, or we receive a report, we will investigate and take the appropriate action," says Google spokesman Jay Nancarrow. He adds that "users first have a chance to demonstrate that they meet our age requirements. If they don't, we will close the account." Facebook and most other sites have similar policies.
Still, some children establish public identities on social-media networks like YouTube and Facebook with their parents' permission. Autumn Miller, a 10-year-old from Southern California, has nearly 6,000 people following her Facebook fan-page postings, which include links to videos of her in makeup and costumes, dancing Laker-Girl style.
"Autie's Freestyle Friday Dance Channel" on YouTube has nearly 13,000 subscribers and hosts 39 videos that have logged in excess of 3.5 million views.
Autie's father, Cory Miller, said by email, "We just don't want to get into a debate or discussion about other people's opinions on our life/kids in social media" and otherwise declined to comment.
Facebook's "fan pages"—in which brands can establish a Facebook presence and those who "like" the brand can see its postings—are supposed to be managed by someone of appropriate age to have a profile page, according to Andrew Noyes, Facebook's manager of public policy communications.
Mr. Miller confirmed that his daughter mostly oversees her own fan page, with parental supervision.
But many parents and children find themselves in an evasive dance online. Alexa Ashley's mother, Lisa, allowed her on Facebook at 13—then took the account away. When she learned that her daughter, now 14, had an Instagram account and wanted to check it out, Alexa bristled at her mother's interest. Ms. Ashley told her, "If the world can see, I think it's fair for me to see, too."
Alexa says she doesn't mind being barred from Facebook—where her grandmother's comments embarrassed her. She is sticking with Instagram for now. "You kinda know something bigger, something easier, something more fun will come along," the 9th grader says.

I recently replaced a Duo 625 with a VIP 722K. I have the receiver in a different room than TV1. I'm using an IR to RF to IR remote extender to control the TV1 output. Most of the time I use the unit in single mode. I have an old UHF pro remote that I'd like to use to control the receiver. The remote channel is 6 for the receiver UHF remote. When I put channel 6 in the remote it doesn't work. The old remote I have is a UHF Pro 8.0. Can I get this to work?

MORGANTOWN - The whole idea of West Virginia restructuring its defense, from hiring a new set of coaches to implementing a new scheme, was born with essentially one thing in mind - defending the high-tempo spread offenses it will face in the Big 12.
Yes, the Mountaineers' new 3-4 scheme puts an emphasis on versatility. Its design allows for a seamless transition into a 4-3 front better suited to stop running attacks like the ones it will face against teams such as Kansas State and Iowa State. It has the flexibility to drop a safety-sized linebacker like Terence Garvin into coverage and instantly become a quasi-nickel package.
The bottom line is that as the offenses it faces become more multiple, the defense has to steer that way, too.
But now here - plopped between the evolving offenses of Marshall in the opener and Maryland next week, and as that initial run through a Big 12 schedule approaches - comes James Madison. The Dukes are simply old fashioned.
"What it reminds me of is what the Big East is or was doing. It's the old Northeastern football,'' West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said of JMU. "It's what old Big East teams were. It's what West Virginia was before I got here, what Pitt was a couple years ago, what Syracuse and Connecticut did last year.''
That's what No. 9 West Virginia (1-0) will face Saturday against JMU (2-0) at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.
It's not as if the Dukes are running the single wing or emulating the 1960s Packers, mind you. It's not old fashioned in that sense.
But with more and more offenses rapidly morphing into what could be described as modern-day football, those that still emphasize the running game, have a mobile quarterback and consider play-action to be trickery - think Don Nehlen football here in the 1980s - are diminishing.
That was true even in the Big East during West Virginia's final years there, and it's true in certain areas of the country on the FCS level that James Madison calls home.
But not so much at JMU and in that team's league, the Colonial Athletic Association. JMU actually refers to its base offense as a spread, but it is far from, say, the WVU version of the spread.


text: When getting into show business, Many people start off looking for Free Auditions.If you are an aspiring actor, model, singer or musician you should find and go on as many free auditions as possible which will hopefully lead to jobs in the entertainment industry. All auditions are free auditions. If you see an audition that charges you money to attend, it is definitely a scam and you should report it to the Better Business Bureau immediately. When you go on free auditions for acting, modeling , singing or dancing, make sure to have a professional portfolio with you that contains a headshot, several body shots and a DVD of your work. Make sure you arrive on time for free auditions. Dress for the part that you want to get, speak loudly and clearly and be confident. Casting directors and producers are looking for energetic, talented individuals at free auditions so make sure to be vibrant in your presentation. Dont be discouraged if you do not get a job from your free auditions. Even successful actors, models, singers and dancers have to go on several auditions before landing a good job in the entertainment industry. Be persistent and always chase your dream. Free auditions can land you great roles in movies, television shows and commercials. If you dont already have a talent agent or talent agency, check into signing up with a reputable organization to represent you and find free auditions for you. If you get a call back from a free audition you have a good shot at getting an acting job. Most people who attend free auditions do not get a callback, but if you do, make sure to wear the same outfit that you wore for your first free audition. To find out more about free auditions, please click the link below. |

I love this bench and it looks expensive. It is for extra seating when I have guests, but is right in front of a large window in my condo and it's low height does not block my view. There are only two things I would mention. First the bench is lightweight and the straps around the wood frame have some give so if your guest sits or moves very quickly, the whole bench will move with them and this could be a hazard. The second is that it is pretty low (accurate on the site description) so it cannot be used to pull up to a dining table for instance for extra seating.
Aah....the aroma of top grain leather........ Honestly, the chrome does not match my decorating style, but, this bench is so utterly fantastic.!!! I think I have changed my style to that of eclectic....the chrome legs add a bit of sparkle to my family room...... I purchased it to be used as a coffee table. Love it..........Figured that if it did not work as a coffee table , I could use it in my bedroom. But, it makes a super great coffee table in front of my 80" green leather sofa.................Excited about this purchase...............
Bought two for a hallway area of a Daycare and very pleased!
My wife was looking for something like a bench for a while I saw these and she wanted to buy them. We bought 2. We have them now and love them , they look very Rich!!!
This bench is one of the coolest things I've bought from Overstock recently. the quality really is good for this price point, and it looks like a much more expensive quality piece of furniture. Well done overstock on this one ! highly recommended
Perfect addition to any Mid Century Modern home. Original Collector's such as myself would be easily fooled until they flip this bench over to detect the new tagging.
I got the cream bench in 50 inches and it was perfect but the longer 60 inch bench can't support the entire bench with just 4 legs... I was very worried about any adult sitting down so I called overstock and they are sending me 2 more legs for the middle .... The benches look great and are easy to put together

Drug Discovery Research Unit
Head of laboratory
Lab profile
Diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) are of an enormous diversity. This provides a major challenge in the pharmacological treatment of brain disorders since they have a greater complexity than most other conditions. The discovery and development of new CNS drugs can be divided into several consecutive stages, which can vary in sequence.
The lab is primarily concerned with the medicinal chemistry aspects of drug discovery including the understanding of drug-protein and drug-binding site interactions in order to obtain structure-activity relationships of bioactive CNS molecules. Identification of structural motifs responsible for optimising activity and evaluating drug efficacy in animal models of disease allows the rationale design of more effective treatments for diseases of the brain. The purpose of these studies is to identify lead molecules that can be further developed into drug candidates for the treatment of various brain diseases.
We have generated a number of lead series which have been patent registration protected by the University of Sydney, with successful commercialisation outcomes achieved for one of these series.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
The article is basically accurate
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were invited to the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC as it became known as) and Jobs went home and immediately started the WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus and Pointer device) interface project which later became the Lisa machine (which failed in the market) and that evolved into the Macintosh product.
Quiet sadly, a great many things were developed at PARC and none were developed into successful products by Xerox -- only by those that had a marketing team that was johnny-on-the-spot with new technologies.
The rest is history.
Topeka temporarily named Google, Kansas. I once refused a mainframe programming project in Topeka, KS. I didn't want to travel and programming jobs were a dime a dozen at the time. Those were the days. Now my friend is so desperate he would fly to Louisville, KY on Monday and return to Chicago on Friday holding two residences to practice mainframe programming. Can't teach an old dog new tricks.
hello ...
learnt something new ...from something quite old * like i said in some other post, it has to begin some day, Bravo Windows!
I want PhySX in my games, now & forever ...so developers should do their best & even if they don't like it, it's not just a matter of money, but also please the customer end!
Sorry even if i want to brain control my puter, aint wearing this thing!
I saw that Google Island thingy on GameOne's JT & i LOLed about it, now i read it again here & think where would they go to be googled that much!
Richy2k9, there's absolutely no reason you'd want PhysX in your games. Hardware accelerated physics, sure, but PhysX? Unless you have a large amount of stock in NVIDIA, why would you want it?
The Secret Origin of Windows was a very good read IMO. Interesting to learn about this stuff in the very early days. Things have changed so much.
PhysX is just nvidia's cash cow - it encourages consumers to stick to their brand and I'm guessing a lot of people will buy into it.
Hahaha I had no idea Google fiber would be so highly sought after by bureaucrats. Seems like Google has a similar level of influence as Stephen Colbert.. that guy can get people to do anything.
That is would really sexy HD 5850 by Asus, really nice. GOOGLE FIBER MUST COME TO CANADA PLEASE ROGERS + BELL SUCK BALLS.
nvidia is trying to regain it lost customers! they should come out with some wallet friendly cards!
just want to point out under Cooling "Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler" links to just the image not the review http://yfrog.com/1nimgnotrevp, took the liberty of getting it, its the link below. Enjoy!
Great list of hardware this week, I just love Steel Series' hardware I'm currently using their Steel Series IKARI mouse, awesome just love the look and the feel even though, I find it to be quite um.. how would I say it not durable after a while playing CS:S the area where my thumb is started to budge open. It looked kinda like if I force my thumb unto it, it would've been broken and this is just within the first week I bought it. Anyways I like thermaltake's Contac 29 Direct Touch and that Mushkin Mulholland Drive 2GB USB performance is amazing and just as reviewed the fixed amount of space 2GB which really sucks but I think I might just grab it because its so cheap.

Truck/trucking Accidents
Each year, several thousand people are killed and almost 100,000 people are injured in accidents involving large trucks and buses. A number of factors cause the high rate of trucking accidents, including:
- Inexperienced drivers
- Tired drivers
- Improperly loaded trucks
- Truckers who fail to take precautions when driving in bad weather
- Poorly maintained equipment
- Aggressive driving
- Speeding
- Drivers who are operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs
If you were injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to money to pay for:
- Medical bills for injuries stemming from the accident
- Damage to your motor vehicle and other property
- Hospital bills
- Lost wages
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
- Punitive damages intended to punish the driver for his or her behavior
Hiring a Trucking Accident Attorney
A personal injury lawsuit stemming from a trucking accident involves some very specific legal knowledge and expertise. These cases are much more complex than lawsuits involving simple auto accidents. The truck accident lawyer may have to hire experts who can recreate the scene of the accident to determine the cause of the accident and help prove the trucker was at fault.
If you have been injured in a trucking accident, you should quickly hire a trucking accident attorney who has experience successfully handling truck accident lawsuits. Time is a factor because your lawyer may want to launch an investigation while the accident scene is intact and before repairs are made to the truck. Each state also limits the amount of time a victim has during which you can file suit.

- Are Federal Work-Study earnings taxable?
- How will I receive my Federal Work-Study funds?
- What happens when I reach my Federal Work-Study award maximum?
- What is Emory Colleges Cost of Attendance (COA) and how is it established?
- Cost of Attendance is an estimate of the total amount it will cost you to go to school for an academic period. The COA is determined using rules established by law. Cost of attendance includes tuition and fees; on-campus room and board (or a housing and food allowance for off-campus students); and allowances for books, supplies and transportation. Other education related expenses will be considered on a case by case basis.
- What determines whether or not I will receive need-based financial aid?
- The primary factor is financial need. Financial need is computed by determining the educational costs (tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and a personal allowance) less family contribution (measure of your financial resources available to help pay for school).
- For Emory College students, does more than one student in college at the same time increase the amount of need-based financial aid?
- When there is more than one child in college (undergraduate) at the same time, your family contribution is divided among the college students. So, if there were two children in college one year, the family contribution is divided between the two. If there is only one the following year, 100% of the family contribution would be expected to be available for this one student.
- Why does my award change each year?
- At Emory, eligibility for financial aid is based on federal and institutional estimates of your family's ability to contribute to the cost of education on a yearly basis. A typical award may include grant, loan and work. Also, consistent with federal guidelines, students are asked to assume a larger proportion of their expenses as they move closer to graduation. Keep in mind that your award is likely to change each year for one or more of the following reasons:
- You miss the priority deadlines.
- A change in family income
- A change in family assets
- A change in the number of children in college
- A change in enrollment
- A change in the cost of education
- Your loan amount may increase as you continue through school.
- Availability of institutional funding
- What are my rights and responsibilities as a student?
- You have the right to know:
- The cost of attendance.
- The refund policy for students who withdraw.
- What financial assistance is available from federal, state, and institutional sources.
- Procedures and deadlines for submitting applications for financial aid.
- How financial aid recipients are selected.
- How your eligibility was determined, including all resources the aid office considered available to you.
- An explanation of each type of award you receive and how and when funds will be disbursed to you.
- For any student loan you receive: the interest rate, total amount you must repay, when your repayment begins, the length of your repayment period, and the cancellation or deferment provisions of your loan.
- For any Federal Work-Study job: a description of the job, the hours you must work, the rate of pay, and how and when you will be paid.
- The satisfactory academic progress policy.
- How to appeal a decision by the Office of Financial Aid concerning your aid award.
- Campus crime statistics (See Annual Security Report and Statement of Campus Security Policy)
- It is your responsibility to:
- Read directions thoroughly, complete all application forms accurately, and to comply with any deadlines.
- Provide any supplemental information or documentation required by the Office of Financial Aid or other agency if applicable.
- Read, understand, and keep copies of any forms you are required to sign.
- Repay any student loans you may receive.
- Complete an entrance interview and an exit interview if you receive federal, state, or Emory University loans while in attendance at Emory.
- Notify the Office of Financial Aid of any change in your enrollment status or financial status (including any scholarships or grants received from outside sources). Changes of address and enrollment status must also be reported to your lender if you have a loan.
- Satisfactorily perform the work agreed upon in a Federal Work-Study job.
- Know and comply with all requirements for continuation of financial aid, including satisfactory academic progress requirements.
- How will my summer financial aid be affected if I change my hours of enrollment?
- If your enrollment hours increase or decrease, you must notify your Financial Aid Advisor immediately. Dropping or withdrawing from courses will reduce your eligibility and affect your student account balance.
- Is financial aid available for international students?
- Students must be citizens or eligible non-citizens of the United States to be eligible to receive federal aid and/or need-based financial aid from Emory. For additional information please see Citizen/Eligible Non-Citizen in our glossary and the How To Apply/International section for your academic career on the Financial Aid website.
- If I have extenuating circumstances, can I submit an appeal for additional assistance?
The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) formula is the same for all applicants; however Emory may consider extenuating circumstances. These circumstances could include your family's unusual medical expenses, tuition expenses, or unemployment. Your requests for adjustments must be submitted in writing and include adequate documentation supporting the special circumstance. If you or your parent is a dislocated worker (someone who has lost their job, been laid off, receiving unemployment benefits or qualifies as a displaced homemaker), documentation such as a layoff notice, statement of unemployment benefits, etc
should be submitted.
Important information regarding submitting an appeal - Will under-loading (taking less than 12 hours) impact my Financial Aid?
Students are infrequently approved to enroll in fewer than 12 hours and usually only in their final semester. To remain eligible for need-based aid, students must take 6 or more hours. Students taking less than 6 hours will not be eligible for need-based aid and their entire award will be cancelled for the semester. If a student receiving need-based aid enrolls in 6 to 11 hours, tuition charges are prorated based on hours enrolled, and grant aid will be adjusted accordingly. Stafford and private loans are not adjusted and remain the same for 6 to 12+ hours enrolled.
Merit scholarships are adjusted on a case by case basis and adjustments are made to ensure the scholarship award amount does not exceed the cost of tuition. For merit aid only, students may enroll in 1 or more hours.
If a student under-loads (less than 12 hours), financial aid will not be adjusted or disbursed until after the add/drop/swap period so that the Office of Financial Aid can post accurate awards to reflect the students finalized hours of enrollment.
Consult with your Financial Aid adviser to discuss your own personal circumstances.
- What is OPUS and how does it work?
- The Online Pathway to University Students is Emory's web-based student information system by which students register for classes, check the status of their financial aid, view their student account, and update their addresses. A student must have an OPUS ID in order to access his/her information. Contact OPUS Help to get additional information relating to OPUS access.
- What are some of the mistakes people make in applying for financial aid?
- Four of the most common are:
- Late filing of the FAFSA or PROFILE or submitting tax documents late
- Failing to read all instructions
- Incomplete applications
- Incorrect Social Security Numbers
- How can I find out the status of my aid application?
- You can monitor the status of your aid application through OPUS. Your To Do List will indicate any outstanding items needed by our office. We cannot determine your final eligibility for financial aid until all required documents have been submitted.
- How do I add Emory to my Student Aid Report (SAR)?
- If Emory was not listed, contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center at (800) 4-FED-AID. Emory's school code is 001564.
- Are the PROFILE & FAFSA required to apply for the courtesy scholarship?
- No, only the courtesy application is needed.
- What is IRS Data Retrieval?
- It is an easier, faster way to provide tax information for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you complete the FAFSA after Jan. 30, 2014 you will be prompted to enter your PIN and link to the IRS web site. The retrieval process will display your tax information and allow you to transfer it to your FAFSA. Our office encourages everyone to retrieve their tax data if you and your parent(s), if applicable, have filed your 2013 tax return(s) prior to completing the FAFSA. Students/families that do not use the IRS Data Retrieval process may be required to submit an IRS tax transcript directly from the IRS to complete the federal verification process.
- What is IDOC?
- IDOC is a service provided by the College Board. If you complete a Profile application your, the student, and Custodial parent's if applicable, tax documents must be submitted to IDOC. In early February, the College Board will send an IDOC instruction email which includes your personalized IDOC ID#. All documents sent to the College Board must be accompanied by your personalized IDOC Cover Sheet.
- My parents they live and work in a foreign country and they file foreign tax returns which will not be completed until after the March 1st financial aid submission deadline. What should I do?
This only applies if your family files foreign tax returns: If your parents are not US Citizens and they live and work internationally and file an international tax return (wage statement) which will not be available until after March 1st, then please have your parent contact their employers Human Resource or Payroll department and request an earnings statement (in USD) on their companys letterhead for the calendar year Jan 1, 2013 Dec. 31 2013. The statement of 2013 earnings from the employer, on letterhead will be used in lieu of the final 2013 international tax returns (wage statement). Please submit this financial information to IDOC as soon as possible.
For families who file US tax returns but work/earn income overseas: If your family works overseas and files a US tax return, the final 2013 US tax returns must be submitted to IDOC before the Financial Aid Office can process a students final need based aid award.
- How will Financial Aid contact me throughout the year?
- Please keep in mind our primary means of communicating with you throughout the year is to the email address marked as preferred in OPUS.

- Are there banks on campus?

- How much cash will Emory College students need the first week of school?
- This amount will vary. If you have chosen the unlimited meal plan, all your meals will be provided. You may need cash to purchase books for your classes and incidental supplies for your residence hall room. If your financial aid award creates a credit balance on your account, you will receive a refund from Student Financial Services. However, it may not be available to you the first week of classes. Student Financial Services can be reached at (404) 727-6095.
- When will aid be credited to my student account?
- Before aid will credit to your account, you must have no outstanding Financial Aid To Do items on OPUS and you must be enrolled. Federal regulation allows disbursement of funds to begin 10 days from the official start of term as decided by the University's Board of Trustees. The actual start date of courses for each program may vary from the official University calendar.
- Why has Emory provided me with a form 1098T?
- If you (or your dependent) paid qualified expenses during the last tax year for yourself, your spouse, or your dependent to enroll in or attend an eligible educational institution, you may be able to take an education tax credit. The University cannot provide tax advice concerning income taxes. Please contact a tax professional or the IRS for any tax questions. For more information, please visit the IRS Web site at: www.irs.gov or call 1-800-829-1040. Learn more about 1098T & 1098E processing at Emory University.
- How can I obtain a copy of my 1098T and 1098E?
- Student Financial Services will mail a 1098T form (tuition payments) and 1098E form (student loan interest) to all students who have paid tuition or student loan interest. For further information regarding 1098T and 1098E processing, please visit the Student Financial Services website.
- What is a Direct Stafford Loan?
- The Federal Direct Stafford Loan is a loan made by the U.S. Department of Education.
- What is the difference between the Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loan?
- Direct Subsidized Stafford - federal loan with interest paid by the government while you are in school at least half-time. Beginning with the 2012-13 aid year, this loan is for undergraduates only and has been discontinued for graduate students.
- Direct Unsubsidized Stafford - federal loan with interest accruing while you are in school. You have the option of paying the interest or deferring it until after you begin repayment.
- When does repayment begin on Federal Direct Stafford Loans?
- Repayment of subsidized and unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans begins six months from the date you graduate or cease to be enrolled at least half-time. These six months are called a "grace period". The subsidized portion of your loan does not accrue interest during this time. There is no penalty for early repayment.
- What is the Student Access Loan (SAL)?
- The Student Access Loan is considered gap funding for undergraduate students who need assistance securing additional funds to pay for educational expenses. The low interest loan is available exclusively to Georgia residents. The loan is managed by the Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC). Further instructions can be found under the Financing link for your specific career.
- Can I have two Federal Work-Study jobs at the same time?
- Students are allowed employment in only one Federal Work-Study (FWS) job at a time with one exception; a student may be employed in two FWS jobs if one of the positions is in the Emory Reads tutoring program (a division of the America Reads program). For more information on Emory Reads, please contact the Student Employment Office.
- A student can be employed as a regular student worker (which is funded entirely by the hiring department) and as a Federal Work-Study student worker simultaneously.
- How many hours can I work per week?
- Federal Work-Study students are limited to working 20 hours per week during periods of enrollment and 40 hours per week during periods of non-enrollment, such as winter and spring breaks. For further clarification regarding periods of non-enrollment, please contact Student Employment at (404) 727-6039.
- NOTE: Students who work over 20 hours per week (among all campus jobs) are subject to FICA (Social Security) taxes being deducted from his/her wages. Therefore, 20 hours per week is the maximum number of hours recommended for academic reasons as well as tax reasons.
- May I change Federal Work-Study jobs during the academic year?
- Yes, at any point during the academic year a student may change Federal Work-Study jobs. However, it is recommended that you give your employer at least two weeks notice to process all necessary paperwork. You must be properly terminated from your previous position prior to being hired into a new position. For accurate recordkeeping purposes, it is imperative that you advise your new employer that you have recently changed positions.
- Are Federal Work-Study earnings taxable?
- Yes, Federal Work-Study earnings are taxable income. Emory Human Resources provides each student employee with a W-2 form after the end of the calendar year, which can also be accessed online.
- How will I receive my Federal Work-Study funds?
- You must be hired for an Emory Federal Work-Study job and work to earn your award. You will earn the award by working and receiving biweekly paychecks paid directly to you from the Emory Payroll Department. The maximum you may earn during the academic year is the amount of your FWS award. The earnings you receive are intended to offset your living expenses as an Emory student. How you choose to use these funds is entirely at your discretion. You will earn FWS funds for your work at an hourly rate (ranging from $7.50-$9.00 per hour for undergraduates).
- What happens when I reach my Federal Work-Study award maximum?
- Your department should notify you when you reach your award maximum. The department has the option of either continuing your assignment and paying you 100% from its departmental budget or ending your assignment altogether. If funding permits, most departments will make every attempt to continue your assignment.
- How can I learn more about Emory's Loan Replacement Grant and Loan Cap Program?
