Sheriff terminated; Sakic undergoing tests
Avalanche captain Joe Sakic didn't practice today because of a sore back and is undergoing tests to determine how serious the problem is. He played the first period Saturday against Nashville after missing Thursday's game with Minnesota. Hoping to get some sort of results later today.
Meanwhile, forward Scott Parker's contract with the Avalanche has been terminated by the team. The "Sheriff" was assigned to the Lake Erie Monsters in the American Hockey League on Oct. 17 after being activated from the injured list -- he had a concussion -- but he never reported.
Parker was on a two-way contract. He would have been paid $500,000 for playing in the NHL and $100,000 in the minors.
The Avalanche said he has become an unrestricted free agent. I've been trying to get in contact with his agent and with the NHL Players Association to get their take on the situation.
Also, the Avalanche has sent defenseman Kyle Cumiskey back to Lake Erie.

Assisting Your Kids With Their Math Concerns
Many students struggle with their math games 7th grade inquiries, particularly as they method their teen years. There are a number of factors for this, which I will talk about later.
However, every parent can help their child rise above this struggle – and succeed. If a student gives up, it can lead to a cycle of frustration and failure that can haunt a student (and parents) for years.
The added effort you make is an investment in your child's future.
As you currently know, students who realize math enhance their probabilities of getting accepted by the University of their decision.
In addition, a superior math score on standardized tests increases a student's likelihood of getting a scholarship or fellowship to pay for their education.
Math is also critical to your child's future employers. Employers are browsing for applicants who can apply mathematics to company troubles.
Lots of employers now give math tests to job applicants. Higher math grades in school will not be accepted prima facie. Public schools have a reputation (deserved) for inflating grades. Employers are browsing for employees who basically know the material.
In addition, each citizen in a democracy requirements a operating understanding of math to cast an intelligent, informed vote. Each and every citizen-voter will be voting on price range and bond troubles. Casting an informed vote needs some information of accounting and finance.
So how can a parent aid their kid prepare for these issues?
A parent can enable their child in several techniques.
1) Recognize that youngsters are special folks who mature at distinct prices. These differences are apparent even with siblings becoming raised inside the identical family members.
A student's current level of mental improvement will be reflected in their ability to fully grasp abstract concepts – such as the symbolism utilized in algebra.
If your child cannot grasp some of the far more abstract ideas in math, it's probably nothing at all to be particularly worried about. Do not insult your kid.
Just be encouraging and supportive. Wait till your student matures a small extra. Time will take care of this trouble.
As a parent, you have currently noticed that even an additional three or 6 months in your child's age will enable them to make quantum jumps in understanding.
two) Assistance your kid master the standard math abilities made use of in arithmetic ahead of doing something else.
Why? Algebra is constructed upon arithmetic. The symbols made use of in algebra stand for numbers. The symbols made use of in algebra behave the very same way numbers behave.
For instance, 1 + two = 2 + 1. If you already know this from arithmetic, it is uncomplicated to see that x + y = y + x in algebra. This will be accurate of all the properties of real numbers: associative, commutative, distributive, and so on.
The underlying difficulty is usually this: Most algebra students have never ever definitely learned how to ad, subtract, divide, and multiply fractions, mixed numbers, or decimals with no the use of a calculator.
The strategies utilized in arithmetic and algebra are precisely the same. If a student can combine these fractions using arithmetic: (1/3) + (three/five), they can also combine these fractions applying algebra: (a/b) + (c/d).
That is why a parent should concentrate on arithmetic at first. Assure your child understands ARITHMETIC, and your kid will have a great deal less difficulty operating with quadratic equations or trigonometry.
Test your child's understanding by asking them to add, subtract, multiply, and divide the following two fractions: 1/3 and 3/five.
If you never feel certified to aid your youngster with arithmetic, take your youngster to meet with his or her teacher soon after college for additional tutoring. All the math teachers I have ever talked with are pleased to devote as substantially time as needed to strengthen your child's math expertise.
3) Set aside adequate time at residence for your child to study the material presented in college.
Be conscious of the truth that by 7th grade, government regulations demand the teacher to raise the pace of math instruction substantially. This is a massive surprise to most students. It indicates that additional and far more unfamiliar material will be introduced at a faster and more quickly pace.
Teachers are monitored to make positive they preserve up the pace.
Your child's teacher will be glad to give you with a calendar which shows the schedule of what topics will be presented every week for the complete year. Be confident to ask.
4) Demand your child to take notes in class and notes on the material you critique at dwelling.
These should be detailed "how to" notes which show Every single step in every single problem answer.
Direct your kid to refer to these notes when he or she encounters the very same variety of dilemma covered in their notes. (Taking and organizing detailed notes on math is actual perform. Your child will not want to do it. Becoming needed to refer to those notes is pure torture for teenagers. Nevertheless, taking and using notes will put them in handle of their own learning a lot more than anything else ever can. Without having their personal notes, your kid will endlessly ask for a lot more "enable". Additional assistance to a teenager generally suggests: Do It For Me and hand me the answer.)

Amarillo, TX- Buying prescription medications may help your wallet, but could end up hurting your health.
With the high cost of medications and insurance co-pays more people are turning to the web to find a cheaper way to deal with illnesses but the Federal Drug Administration is warning not all online pharmacies are safe.
"Some countries, there are people who are producing some of their own drugs or medications and they can be contaminated with arsenic, rat poison, and a number of different chemicals that they have just included in there," said Dr. Jeanie Jaramillo with the Texas Tech Pharmacy School.
Along with the risk of being contaminated with chemicals that could potentially kill you, Doctor Jaramillo says the medicines may not have all of the active ingredients needed to help you.
"It could just be anything from not having enough therapeutic effect to not working at all. Many drugs we need a constant level in our bloodstream and if we are obtaining a medication that is less than what we need that level is going to be too low or it could be too high," added Jaramillo.
Robin Johnson, a local pharmacist says the problem of counterfeit medications and fake pharmacies seems to be growing and Jaramillo adds there is not a quick fix.
"It is important to use a reputable pharmacy, when I first graduated from college years ago, it was unheard of for the FDA to be pursuing a counterfeit drug case, now there are thousands, they can't keep up with all of them," said Johnson with King's Compounding Pharmacy,
"It is easy for these pharmacies to be shut down but then to crop back up again, they have a new name, they have a new web address, that is real easy for them to do without becoming on the radar of law enforcement, so they close down one website but they end up with a new name somewhere else," said Jaramillo.
Jaramillo says there are ways to make sure you are using a legitimate online pharmacy, by asking for a permanent address, phone number and even their return policy.

Non-animal Methods for Toxicity Testing
Any field of research faces challenges, and the field of non-animal methods of toxicity testing is no exception. New methods of testing need to be developed, validated, accepted, and implemented. These diverse steps present an array of scientific, practical, and policy challenges. At the end of the day, the concerns of diverse stakeholders in industry, government, animal protection, academia, and nongovernmental organizations need to be addressed.
The alternatives literature has numerous compilations of these challenges or "barriers" to progress (see, for example, Becker, et al., 2006; Blaauboer, 1998; Daston & McNamee, 2005; Goldberg & Hartung, 2006). Here we provide a brief summary of many of these concerns. Most of the publications discussing challenges and barriers to progress also provide recommendations to overcome them. These recommendations are not summarized here; they essentially constitute the subject matter for the related Way Forward commentaries and Overarching Challenges & Opportunities forum discussions.
The 2005 workshop of the International Society of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology (ISRTP), Progress and Barriers to Incorporating Alternative Toxicological Methods in the US, provided an extensive compilation of challenges based on presentations by diverse stakeholders. The ISRTP workshop focused on the US situation, but many of the considerations discussed there are common across countries.
The publication resulting from the ISRTP workshop, which serves as a primary reference for the information provided here, grouped barriers to progress into three categories: scientific/technical; economic/financial; and regulatory/policy (Becker, et al., 2006). We follow the same categories here, except for characterizing economic/financial barriers more broadly as practical/logistical. We summarize these challenges in the following three tables.
The European Partnership for Alternative Approaches to Animal Testing (EPAA) Working Group 5 held a workshop on barriers to validation in September 2006, and the resulting report provides an inventory of the barriers they identified (Ahr, et al., 2008). They describe barriers to validation as "factors which might delay or hamper the validation of alternative methods," and the barriers they identified are included in the tables below.
Readers interested in further information on these and other challenges are invited to consult relevant sections of AltTox.org's Toxicity Testing Resource Center, as well as the scientific literature, including specific ECVAM publications.
Table 1: Scientific and technical challenges to replacing animal tests with non-animal methods.
Table 2: Practical and logistical challenges to replacing animal tests with non-animal methods.

Description"The level of detail is too low" - just select the camera and then the edit icon. Move the render and shadow sliders to the left for as much detail as your device can handle (also turn on filtering).
"Power levels on the lights would help" - to do this interactively see this vid, or by dragging the colour selector down. Looking at improving the doc's and vid's soon.
Just a quick note to ... "Не работает Не удалось установить на usb накопитель или sd карту" - Moving the App to the SD Card works fine on my devices ;)
Just a quick note to ... "a non-refundable app" - You could always just ask ;)
Quick Hints,
If selecting a colour in the palette and it is wrong. please checkbox the "RGB on colour Selection" in prefs,
The quality of the shadows and rendering can be changed on the fly using the sliders in camera pref (default is medium )
For better shadow results move the target a little in front of the object. also shadow filtering can be turned on.
*A fix for the NEXUS 7*
Please visit www.misort.com under the apps tab for guide
and video link. SLR has many options and can seem a bit
"what the heck?" :)
If your light colours are wrong on selection see the above guide for selecting the swap RGB button.
Studio Light Rigger (SLR) allows you to plan in 3D your favourite lighting set-ups, those set-ups can be Loaded/Saved to a library on the device.
You can add a text description to every object so you can make notes of the real world settings of your shoot, this is how SLR started as a fancy 3D drawing pad.
SLR gives you a real-time view of the lights you place down with number of models to light with full colour and shadow maps. The models include a female with 30 odd poses, a hi resolution male with poses and various models such as an over sized head for seeing the affects of shadows.
SLR video and guide over at www.misort.com under the Apps tab.
Main features.
Moving objects in a 3D plan and perspective views.
A real time camera lens view with real time shadows (GLES2 required)
Female and Male with multiple poses character models to light.
Store your lighting rigs using the Built in library or upload to mIsort for sharing
General issues.
Touch screens, some devices when under load are sending the App movements when a touch has been made which results in the object being selected moving on touch a little. While I see if something can be done about this (it's quite device specific) each object does have the lock option that locks movement of that object until unlocked.
The Background can be removed.
Rendering Performance.
The Lens View and shadow maps size can be adjusted for better shadow maps and render speed.
Small screen devices can get away with the Lens View window on two and shadow maps on three.
**Please Note**
On most devices maximum settings will slow the device down to a crawl and leave the APP unresponsive.
Increasing the shadow map to maximum offers better shadows and does not slow down the device as much.
Rendering Improvements.
A number of objects can use pixel shaders with normal mapping and specular hi-lights. This
gives a more realistic for the Male/Female heads and vehicle.
The shadows can now be filtered for more realistic and softer shadows. The filter size can also be
**Please Note**
Filtered shadows are not free and do slow the device down a fair bit.
Overall rendering speed is up for example.
The Male character that was slow in SLR 1.2.3 can now be worked on now with a defy using
a Lens View Size of two and Shadow Map of size three - with three Shadow Mapped Lights with
shadow filters turned on at good frame rates.
The best approach is to do your editing in the lowest settings that gives useful feedback the up the settings for a cleaner render.

Sam Querrey hasn't been in an ATP Tour final since 2010. With many of the best tennis players in the world away at the 2012 Olympics, though, Querrey has made a run to the final of the 2012 Farmers Classic.
Querrey will meet Ricardas Berankis in the final of the Farmers on Sunday after defeating Rajeev Ram in the semifinals on Saturday, and will surely enjoy seeing the unseeded Berankis instead of sixth-seeded Marinko Matosevic, who fell to Berankis in semifinal play.
Querrey has had no problem blowing through his side of the U.S. Open Series tournament, failing to drop a set in three matches to date and only getting pushed to a tiebreak by Ram in his most recent two-set victory.
Berankis has had a little bit more trouble, but also has yet to drop a set. He defeated Nicholas Mahut on the way to the finals.
For more updates on the Farmers Classic and the world of tennis, stay tuned to SB Nation's tennis hub.

Generally, photos enhanced in post-processing, such as many of those used in BMW's official 4 Series release photos, look better than a relatively untouched photo. However, with the 4 Series, we dare say that it's looking best in 'natural' photos so far, such as in these from a live studio photo shoot.
We have uploaded our BMW 4 Series Official Thread with even more materials – new wallpapers, new videos, and full technical specs for all models.

These can be seen in our spy photos revealing the 4 Series Coupe.
A few more spy photos of the soon-to-be revealed F32 4 Series Coupe.
We noticed an interesting phenomenon with the latest set of 4 Series spy photos – how negative the reaction was compared to the very positive reaction to an earlier set of spy photos featuring the same model (a 435i Sport Line). The only difference between these cars? The camouflage, the color, and the setting/lighting.
Goes to show that camouflage really can have a profound effect in how a car looks and is perceived by a viewer. As you can see in the comparison photos below, the … CONTINUED
We previously spotted the production 4 Series Coupe (F32) bare it all during a commercial shoot, but this newest sighting gives us the best and closest look yet at the prototype F32 still in testing.

Another F30POST member shares his impressions of the production F32 4 Series Coupe from a media preview event held in London, England. Per MEGA:
Hi All,
I was fortunate enough to be invited to a What? Car "Special BMW Event" yesterday (28th May 2013) in Teddington, West London at the Haymarket media group HQ.
I'd had several email exchanges with a lovely girl there named Emma about the nature of the event, and I guessed long before getting the "unofficial" nod (as Emma was sworn to secrecy) that … CONTINUED
The F32 BMW 4 Series Coupe (435i) is currently making its rounds in Denmark at BMW dealers. A BIMMERPOST member recently had some up close and personal time with the 435i coupe and shares his impressions with us:
First of all, the car was shown in Denmark at the presentation of the 3GT and only the two 3GTs was in the showroom. Everybody were asked to either give the dealer their cell phones (which I don't think anybody did) or get a sticker on the … CONTINUED
Yes, a comparison of the M235i against a 435i M Sport or potential M435i would be a more appropriate comparison, but there are no revealed photos of the 435i M Sport (and no photos of a potential M435i). This is just to provide our members with a comparison of the 2 Series vs 4 Series' general shapes and looks.
The angles on the spy photos also don't match up exactly, but we will post another visual comparison once we have official photos for both models.
If you couldn't already tell from the torrent of spy photos featured on the BIMMERPOST homepage, manufacturer testing season has opened on the Nurburgring.
On the track today was this F32 4 Series (435i) with M Sport package revealing for the first time the aggressive shape of the M Sport front bumper. Compared to the F30 3 Series M Sport front fascia, the 4 Series M Sport bumper is more angular, with air vents that angle upwards and expands as it gets closer to the … CONTINUED
Have a look at the latest F33 4 Series convertible prototype, revealing more of its defining characteristic – its metal folding roof. Earlier spyshots (reposted below) show the hard top operation and the design is largely similar to the current E93 convertible.
The F33 will share the same engine and transmission options as the F32 coupe, as well as the coupe's general styling. So, imagine the coupe that you've seen revealed, but with this metal folding top.
Production of the 4 Series convertible (both 435i and 428i) … CONTINUED

NEW ORLEANS - LSU punter Brad Wing is suspended for the Tigers' postseason bowl game against Clemson, the school announced Thursday.
While the school did not disclose the reasoning, according to The Daily Reveille, "A source in the LSU Athletic Department that said the Australian-born punter's suspension stemmed from a failed drug test."
Wing, a sophomore, averaged 44.8 yards per punts this year, with nearly a third of his kicks traveling at least 50 yards.
Freshman Jamie Keehn will replace Wing.
LSU will play Clemson in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl on Dec. 31.

Demario Richard is a 2014 running back recruit from Palmdale (Calif.), and as a three-star recruit according to the 247Composite, he's getting a lot of looks from big time programs on the West Coast. Normally, this would be the kind of kid that would love to get an offer and play for USC, but that just doesn't appear to be the case right now:
Four-star running back --> RT @TheFaceOfCali: If Kiffin Leaves USC might have a shot at gettin me— Blair Angulo (@bangulo) September 11, 2013
It should be noted that USC doesn't appear to be recruiting Richard, or have even offered him a scholarship. That said, Lane Kiffin's mere presence at the program is beginning to keep recruits away, and after the Trojans' 10-7 loss to Washington State on Saturday, the recruits in attendance did not come away with a favorable impression on where things were headed.
It's a long way from February, but the Trojans' 2014 recruiting class currently ranks ninth in the Pac-12 and 61st nationally, according to the 247Composite rankings. That's simply not going to cut it.

Jets WRs David Clowney and Patrick Turner will be released to create roster space for WR Santonio Holmes and DL Howard Green, according to multiple reports.
Holmes, acquired by the team in April, has been suspended for the first four weeks for a violation of the league's substance-abuse policy. The former Super Bowl hero for the Steelers was the team's best wideout in training camp and the preseason, and is expected to contribute immediately in the Jets' passing game.
Green was released last Friday when the team signed DE Trevor Pryce. It was expected the team would re-sign Green soon, as head coach Rex Ryan told reporters that he had a "funny feeling" that the lineman would be back.
Both Clowney and Turner were seen as space fillers until Holmes returned. Clowney had been cut at the end of training camp due to a lack of effort on special teams, but was signed again when the team missed his downfield speed as a receiver. He caught one pass for 22 yards on the season. Turner was signed in September after being cut by the Dolphins to provide WR depth, but was only active for one game and did not make a reception.
The way we see it
Everything done Monday by GM Mike Tannebaum was expected. Holmes' return left little room for Clowney and Turner, and the Jets were happy to bring back a player they like in Green to add defensive-line depth. Clowney or Turner may appear on the Jets' practice squad, and if an injury to a wideout occurs later in the season, it would not be a surprise to see them back on the active roster.

See the Glossary for more terms.
This is the fourth article in our New Investigator Series.
So far in this series we've covered being ready for independent support, choosing a grant type, and picking a research project. Here we focus on choosing between an initiative, an investigator-initiated application, or a hybrid approach.
The big advantage of an investigator-initiated application is that it keeps you in your area of expertise.
Here are the two official ways to approach an NIH application:
Investigator-Initiated: Draw on Your Strengths
In case you're unfamiliar with the lingo, investigator-initiated means you create an application in any area of science NIH supports.
How does this work? Let's assume your science falls within the mission of NIAID. To apply for an investigator-initiated R01—a standard independent grant—you don't need to know our priorities, and you don't need to look for any special announcements from us.
You simply use the R01 parent program announcement to submit an application in a topic of your choice. If an application's topic falls within our mission, it will be assigned to us, and we will fund the application if its percentile ranks within our payline.
The big advantage of going this route is that it keeps you in your area of expertise. Staying grounded in what you know best is a critical ingredient of success, especially if you are a relatively new investigator with an unknown track record.
Also keep in mind these features of investigator-initiated applications:
Also at play are two interrelated success factors unique to initiatives: your competition and the level of funds set aside.
When responding to an initiative, you are held to the requirements of the announcement and the research areas we have defined.
To succeed, you'll also need an idea and execution that can make a high impact on the field in the context of the goals of the initiative.
Also at play are two interrelated success factors unique to initiatives: your competition and the level of funds set aside. All RFAs have set-aside funds as do some PAs. With a set-aside, NIAID funds applications largely by overall impact score, but also by taking into account the programmatic importance of the research.
Thus, in addition to the other points noted above, your success will depend on:
While more money means more grants, the more people who apply—and competition is often intense—the smaller the fraction that succeeds.
How do you assess your competition and the set-aside? Any set-asides are stated in the funding opportunity announcement.
While it may be hard to gauge competition, the program officer listed in the announcement can help. Call to get feedback on how well your research ideas meet the scope of the initiative and a sense of how much interest the initiative has generated.
A final factor to keep in mind is that applications in high-priority areas are better candidates for special funding, such as an R56 Bridge award. We fund applications applying through PAs that do not have a set-aside by the payline for the grant type and may fund some beyond the payline.
One last point to remember when you write your application: although initiatives are in high-priority scientific areas, you'll still need to describe the significance of the project, as you normally would.
Blend the Approaches
While not all concepts become initiatives, they highlight NIAID's research interests and are good sources of areas for investigator-initiated research.
Do both. You can blend the two approaches by using a high-priority topic as the basis for an investigator-initiated application.
Do some sleuthing to find our priorities. Talk to program officers—NIAID may have priorities that do not appear on our published lists but are still programmatically important.
A good place to start is with our concepts. To back up a bit, a concept is the planning stage of an institute-specific initiative: a PA, RFA, or contract solicitation.
Whether they are ultimately published as initiatives or not, concepts are high-priority research areas in which NIAID would like to receive applications.
Concepts give you a sneak preview of future priorities. We publish them online so you can:
While not all concepts become initiatives, they highlight NIAID's research interests and make strong candidates for investigator-initiated research.
You don't need to wait for NIAID to publish an initiative to apply in a topic covered by a concept. Savvy investigators look closely to see whether their expertise lends itself to any of these important research topics.
When we post new concepts, you can get the news right away, usually about a month after a Council meeting.
To receive notification of new concepts and initiatives, go to Subscribe to Email Alerts and select the appropriate interest category.
A common misunderstanding is that a 50 percent F&A rate means that 50 percent of total expenditures are for overhead.
If you're a principal investigator in the U.S., your facilities and administrative (F&A) costs may seem like a mystery.
People often wonder why so much money goes to F&A and whether their grant suffers as a result.
The total costs you request in your grant budget include direct costs to pay for the performance of your grant plus F&A costs that your institution incurs in support of your activities but that cannot be directly charged to any grant or contract.
F&A typically covers more facility costs than administrative costs. It pays for all the services it takes to keep your lab open and running—electricity, heating, air conditioning, custodial services, hazardous waste disposal, and so on—so you can conduct your research.
These infrastructure costs are factored into a formula that becomes your institution's negotiated F&A rate.
F&A—Smaller Than You May Think
For academic institutions, F&A costs often account for about one-quarter to one-third of your institution's cost, but the F&A rate is a different number—it is the ratio of F&A costs to a factor called modified total direct costs (MTDC).
MTDC is the base to which F&A rates are applied. The MTDC base consists of materials and supplies, salaries and wages, fringe benefits, services, travel, and up to the first $25,000 for subawards.
F&A rates of about 50 percent of MTDC are typical for universities. A common misunderstanding is that a 50 percent F&A rate means that 50 percent of the total expenditures are for overhead.
Not so. MTDC excludes large expenditure items such as student tuition, equipment, research patient care costs, rent, and sub-recipient charges exceeding $25,000.
Private Versus State Universities
Sometimes people are concerned that private institutions use more F&A money than do state universities.
The reason is that F&A pays for all the infrastructure costs that support grants in private organizations whereas state schools need less F&A because they get state funds.
For most grant programs, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services supports full reimbursement for F&A costs.
To learn more about how your institution calculates F&A costs, talk to your sponsored research office. If you have more questions about spending your grant money, contact your grants management specialist.
The rules for foreign awards are different. For details, go to Facilities and Administrative Costs in Part 6. Receiving and Spending Money of the NIAID Grants Policy and Management Training for Foreign Investigators.

Hundreds help St David's Foundation with Monmouth Rowing Club dragon boat race
7:20pm Sunday 9th September 2012 in News By Keiligh Baker
MORE than 350 people descended on Monmouth Rowing Club today for the St David's Foundation Dragon Boat Race.
The sunshine was out in full force as friends and family packed the banks of the River Wye to cheer on the dragon boats.
Ten teams took part to raise money for St David's, with each team having between 10 and 15 rowers and a drummer.
The Dragon Boat Race was postponed in June due to an unusually high rainfall.
The St David's Foundation Dragon Boat Trophy was awarded to the winning crew, OPCO Dragons entered by OPCO Construction of Cardiff. Teams from the Nag's Head pub in Monmouth and BAE Systems came second and third respectively.
A further prize was awarded to BAE Systems, who were dressed as penguins, for bringing in the most sponsorship money on the day and for having the best fancy dress.
Matthew Fletcher, 22, said: "I did it last year and really enjoyed it, so I thought I'd give it another go. We've all done stuff for St David's before, and the St David's Hospice team is made up of our friends and family. My dad's taking part and some of the boys are on my rugby team."
Matthew Steed, 20, said ahead of the race: "We haven't actually practised at all, but I reckon we can win it."
Tom Rayner, 22, added: "We're definitely feeling confident about our chances. We won our rugby match for Caerleon RFC yesterday, so why not this too?"
Karen Hughes, from Cwmbran, said: "I work for St David's, and my husband is taking part in the race on the St David's Hospice team. It's been a fabulous day, we have always tended to be lucky when it comes to the weather for the race."
Kris Broome, the event organiser, said: "We really want to thank everyone for showing up and supporting us.
"We are hoping today's event will raise over £5,000, and of course people can keep donating online.
"All funds raised goes to help people who are suffering from cancer and other life-threatening illnesses in South East Wales."

To start with, I don't have any association with them, I got nothing (no money, free license, promise of goodwill or anything else at all) from the SciTech Software (the creators of .NET Memory Profiler.
This tool has been instrumental in figuring out our recent memory issues. I have tried dotTrace Memory, JustTrace and WinDBG, but this tool outshone them all and was able to point us quite quickly to the root cause that we had to deal with, and from there, it was quite easy to reach a solution.
Highly recommended.

Adventure games are a guilty pleasure for me. This is the easiest one in the Atlantis series and that makes for some relaxing fun and enjoyment. I hate Adventure games with illogical, hard puzzles that ae frustrating and break the mood of the game. Atlantis 3 is not like that. With nice graphics and music and a good story line, this is like playing a Sci-Fi Novella.
A niceread more late evening or weekend game and a good intro to adventure gaming. Well worth the low price here at GOG.

The plot goes a bit rampant and the game trades the unique ancient civilization atmosphere of it's predecesors for sci-fi and fairytale themes. But the atmosphere is still the thing you're coming to this game for. Some of the locations and stories are great (ice-age mammoth hunters indeed), and the music is again quite good.
The quality of the puzzles varies greatly: The bad consistread more of annoying, vague pixel-hunts and some truly bizarre minigames; the good are some of the larger collect-the-puzzle-pieces-and-put-them-together type puzzles and some of the timed action-y puzzles.
Anyway, if you liked other games in the series, try this one out. It's neither worse nor better than the others. If you've never played a game in this series, maybe try it out. But I personally prefer the first and second games in the series over this one. The sci-fi angle and the direction the series' story took since this game kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

The series staples, it great complex story, and amazing graphics and sound are simply gone in this game.
The story is just bad, the the graphics and sound simply OK. The gameplay is the easiest of the series thus far, and I think is probably the must fun gameplay of the series to date, as well.
All-round, decent game, at absolute best, and a big disappointment for this fan of the previous games.

Will Halloween still happen in Caruthersville, Missouri? Originally last night the council voted to stop door to door trick or treating.
But by this afternoon, leaders decided going door to door is still doable, as long as children have an adult with them.
Parents, kids, and city leaders talked Thursday about new ways to keep Halloween alive, and children out of harm's way.
A door to door costumed quest for candy, Halloween is something kids and parents both get excited about
"That's the whole part of Halloween," said Austin Cobb, age 10. "You get to have fun go with our parents and dress up."
"It may be one of those days when you can be whatever you want to be," said his dad, Kevin Cobb.
Tons of fun if you go about it safely, but Caruthersville city leaders feels that's not always what happens. So this year they looked at some changes.
"I think maybe some of the residents have misunderstood the concept and the activity it is not the idea to ban trick or treating," said Mayor Diane Sayre.
The city wants to put the word: If you go door to door you must be with a parent. Running the streets alone won't be tolerated.
You might call it a compromise, originally at Wednesday night's council meeting, leaders voted to nix any door to door activity all together.
But by Thursday afternoon decided kids could still go from house to house as long as a responsible adult goes along
"Contrary to what some may think we are not banning Halloween," said Mayor Sayre. "We are not banning trick or treating we are trying to provide a safer alternative activity."
That alternative activity will be a trunk or treat event at the Public Safety Center.
Assistant Chief of Police, Jerry Hudgens says it's a proactive approach to keep kids safe
"The children are focused more on that next piece of candy or getting their friends than they are the traffic," said Hudgens.
They also worry about kids crossing busy roads like Highway 84, and sex offenders that may fly under the radar. They also want to keep residents in their homes safe.
"The city is not trying to take anything away we are trying to make it safer," added Hudgens.
The city hopes for a large turnout at the Trunk or Treat event. It starts at the Public Safety Center right after the parade.
Again, for now Halloween will live on in Caruthersville, but kids going door to door must have an adult along.

EAST ST. LOUIS — A veteran East St. Louis police officer who resigned in April amid allegations that he showed up drunk to take a burglary report is now a police officer with the East St. Louis Park District.
The five member Park District Board voted to swear in Ricky Perry on Thursday.
Irma Golliday said Perry is currently volunteering. She said he won't be working alone or paid for at least six months.
Golliday was aware of Perry's past, but said Perry had addressed his personal issues and passed all the stipulations that were put on him before he was allowed to become a member of the park district's police force.
Perry's duties will include patrolling the parks. Once he is a paid officer, he will earn $10 an hour. Golliday said he started volunteering Friday.
Perry resigned from the East St. Louis Police Department on April 3 while the department was conducting an investigation into a resident's allegations that he showed up drunk to take a burglary report. Perry submitted a letter of resignation to the police department.
Don Brown, of East St. Louis, who filed the complaint against Perry, said he called the police department at 1 a.m. and Perry didn't arrive until 4 a.m. on March 24. He said Perry was drunk and used profanity while he was investigating the complainant's report of burglary and arson. The resident also said Perry had a visible alcohol container in his car.
Perry, 43, told a reporter at the time that the resident's allegations were false. He was not charged in the incident. He said he twice asked to take a test to prove he had not been drinking. Instead, Perry was sent home on paid leave. East St. Louis Police Chief Michael Floore said no State Police trooper was available that morning to administer the test to Perry, which was standard protocol.
In 2007, Perry was found passed out behind the wheel of his police car in Belleville while it was running. Perry had his foot on the brake when Belleville police officers found him. Perry also had his loaded service weapon in the vehicle with him.
When Perry resigned, Floore said, "The public good and service to the community are of paramount interest to the East St. Louis Police Department. Therefore, I accept the resignation of Officer Perry."
Floore acknowledged Perry's 13 1/2-year career with the department, where he worked in patrol and investigations. Floore said the job Perry did while with East St. Louis earned him numerous awards.
In 2009, murder charges were dismissed against a defendant when a judge ruled that Perry wasn't credible. Since then, two county prosecutors have refused to issue charges in cases where Perry was the chief investigator or a witness.
Golliday said the chief of the park district police, Marion Hubbard, got a number of good recommendations on Perry as a police officer.
"From the recommendations that we received from former employees, he was a good police officer. He had some personal issues that needed to be addressed, and he has done that," she said.
Hubbard could not be reached for comment.

Epigenetic pre-programming of human ES cells that leads to differentiation bias
Funding Type:
Basic Biology I
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 382 400
Funding Recommendations:

Public Abstract:
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) carry great potential for cell replacement therapies, since they can differentiate into number of different cell types. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the differentiation and proliferation of hESCs. We previously demonstrated that not all hESCs were created equal by documenting that two NIH hESC lines (i.e., HSF1 and HSF6) generated human neurons with different characteristics when they were differentiated into neural lineages under the same differentiation procedure. Specifically, HSF1 generates cells of forebrain origin while HSF6 gives rise to more posterior and non-forebrain neurons. These findings clearly indicate a differentiation bias between hESCs. Our knowledge on the control of cell-fate specification has been based on studies using animal models. However, not only the human genome is different from those of animals, but also the epigenetic blueprints differ significantly between human and animal stem cells. The epigenetic blueprints determine the specificity, timing, or quantity of expression of particular genes or cohorts of genes. In this proposal, we will reveal the unique epigenetic blueprints of several hESC lines that define their differentiation bias when they are allowed to differentiate along the neural lineage. Our results will reveal the link between the epigenetic blueprint and the differentiation bias of hESCs or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The approach of this proposal will enable us to predict the differentiation bias of a particular hESC or iPS cell line in the future based on its epigenetic blueprint without laboriously going through differentiation procedures for each lineage to empirically determine whether a particular line can be differentiated into a particular cell lineage. This approach will save tremendous amount of time and resources when the cells are planned to be used for therapeutic applications. Furthermore, our proposed study will reveal whether we can rewrite the epigenetic blueprint in hESCs or iPS cells using number of different factors. Taken together, understanding the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying hESC differentiation bias may shed light on the nature of the developmental program and suggest strategies for controlling hESC and iPS cell differentiation.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) hold great potential for cell replacement therapy where cells are lost due to disease or injury. For the diseases of the central nervous system, hESC-derived neurons could be used for repair. This approach requires careful characterization of hESCs prior to utilizing their therapeutic potentials. Our preliminary findings demonstrated that certain hESC lines show differentiation bias when they are allowed to differentiate along the neural lineage in culture. In our application, we propose to reveal the unique epigenetic blueprints of several hESC lines that define the differentiation decision of hESCs. The unique epigenetic blueprints may arise from embryo-specific genetic variations or stochastic events accumulated during in vitro culturing. Such a problem, though initially surfaced when dealing with different hESC lines, might also apply to pluripotent stem cells that are derived using the induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology. Our proposed studies will help us understand the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying hESC differentiation bias and it may shed light on the nature of the developmental program controlling hESC and iPS cell differentiation. Numerous residents of California suffer from diseases that could potentially be cured by using stem cell based therapies. In order to be able to use hESCs and/or iPS cells for therapy, better understanding of their differentiation is absolutely needed. There is no question that the information obtained from the experiments of this proposal will benefit the residents of California with respect to stem cell therapy.
Review Summary:
This proposal is based on the observation that although different human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines express similar sets of pluripotency genes, they often possess different differentiation biases. A prime example is the comparison between HSF1 and HSF6 cell lines differentiated into neural lineages: the former gives rise to cells with a forebrain phenotype while the latter gives rise to cells with a more caudal, non-forebrain phenotype. The major goals of this proposal are to identify epigenetic signatures in hESC lines with propensities for generating neural cells that correspond to different anterior-posterior levels in vivo, and to develop methods for modifying these signatures. In Aim 1 the applicant proposes to compare epigenetic and gene expression profiles of HSF1 and HSF6 at 3 stages: undifferentiated cells, neural precursor cells, and differentiated neurons. These analyses will also be performed with Noggin and retinoic acid, factors critical for patterning during development. In Aim 2 the applicant will extend the studies described in Aim 1 to the H1 and H9 hESC lines. Finally, in Aim 3, the applicant will manipulate the epigenetic signatures in HSF1 and HSF6 cell lines in an attempt to alter their differentiation bias. Reviewers agreed that this proposal addresses an important scientific question. The identification of epigenetic blueprints for different hESC lines may explain their differentiation biases and could be used to predict the best cell line choice for a particular application. If the applicant is able to modify the epigenetic blueprint, as proposed in Aim 3, this could also provide a significant advantage for future therapeutic applications. Reviewers raised a number of issues with the research plan that caused them to doubt its feasibility. Some of the preliminary data were hard to interpret due to a lack of background information or unclear and incomplete figure legends. This lack of attention to detail was also evident in the paucity of references cited in the proposal. One reviewer felt that the application reflected a general misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the literature surrounding the molecular basis of neural induction and patterning during embryogenesis. This reviewer noted that the use of Noggin as a rostralizing agent is at odds with embryological data. The reviewer wondered whether the applicant has considered alternate explanations for the reported increase in the number of forebrain neurons following Noggin treatment, such as cell line bias. Another reviewer found it surprising that there is no mention of using single-cell derived clonal cell lines for these experiments. This reviewer cautioned that there may be genetic and epigenetic drift over time in culture and suggested analyzing clonal populations derived from single cells at defined passages. With regard to Aim 3, one reviewer questioned its feasibility, given the lack of preliminary data supporting its approach. Finally, reviewers would have appreciated a more thorough discussion of potential pitfalls and alternative approaches. Reviewers agreed that the applicant is a talented junior investigator who has made important contributions to the field. They described the applicant's publication record as limited but high-impact. In general, the reviewers found the assembled research team to be well-qualified to carry out the work proposed, although one reviewer suggested that it may be helpful to have one individual devote 100% effort to the project. Overall, while the reviewers appreciated the significance of the scientific question addressed in this proposal, the research plan did not inspire confidence in the project's likelihood of success.

Two shortlisted for post of Dublin city manager
Saturday, 3rd June, 2006
Two candidates have been shortlisted to succeed John Fitzgerald as Dublin city manager, The Irish Times has learned. They are Cork city manager Joe Gavin and Fingal county manager John Tierney.
Mr Fitzgerald, who is credited with transforming Dublin City Council, steps down on June 16th after 10 years in office.
His job was advertised by the Public Appointments Commission last April, with a salary in the range of €150,000 to €200,000.
The city council is seeking a new chief executive who "will consolidate the progress achieved over the past decade, to lead the city forward as well as motivate a workforce of 6,500 and manage a budget of €2 billion.
There were more than 20 applicants for the post, including some from the private sector.
Most of the applicants were senior local authority officials, including several from the top level of the city administration.
Mr Gavin, who is in his late fifties, has been Cork city manager for the past seven years. Previously, he served as Galway city manager.
Mr Tierney, who is in his mid-40s, succeeded him in Galway before moving to Fingal last year.
Both are to be interviewed again next week by a board consisting of Niall Callan, secretary general of the Department of the Environment; Seán Dorgan, chief executive of IDA Ireland; Dorothy Scally, a human resources specialist, and Mr Fitzgerald himself.
It is anticipated that the name of his successor will be announced next Friday.
Mr Fitzgerald has been appointed as chairman of the development agency that will oversee the relocation of Dublin Institute of Technology to Grangegorman.

also think to overly concentrate on outsiders would be unfair to Fitzgerald who has established himself in the European pecking order as an individual of European standing in terms of the changes he has overseen. If every government promise for funding made was honoured on time he would have acheived a great deal more and I really hope that he is not let down at Grangegorman as many times as he was as City Manager.

Of course, Ideally it would be a world class IRISH architect, but unfortunately, there really isn't any.
Maybe Andrzej Wejchert will be given the job.

Sebastien Tortelli was ranked near the top of both the AMA National and Supercross competitions, as well as the Motocross Grand Prix World Championships, throughout his career. He won the 125cc FIM World Motocross Championship in 1996, and then went on to take the 250cc world championship title in 1998, beating legendary racer Stefan Everts in the process. Another highlight of his twelve-year pro career came in 1999, when he claimed the 250cc National in San Bernardino, California. For much of that year he was leading the MX championship, but an air-to-air collision at Unadilla ended his season. He improved in 2000, finishing sixth in supercross and second in motocross, and consistently finished in the top five in both disciplines over the next five seasons. Born on a farm in the small town of Agen, France, Sebastien was born to race. At only four years old he received his first motorcycle, a QR 50, as a Christmas present, and, as an only child, he stayed out of trouble by riding the bike around the farm while his parents worked. His father built tracks for him on the farm and he was already winning races by the age of six. Noted during his career for his fighting spirit, aggression, and incredible cornering speed, Seb still races occasionally in charity events, but now concentrates primarily on his ChampFactory MX School. "For me, the best thing about motocross is that you can express yourself through racing," Tortelli says. "I live for racing and winning; it has always been my drive."

Albion isn't real close to any bars or clubs but we definitely know how to throw our own parties.
Off-Campus Housing:
Off campus housing is extremely difficult to get because of the residency requirement. If you apply and are allowed to move off campus the options aren't bad,
Albion is quite open to all types of people and makes everyone feel welcome. It may not be the most diverse campus in the nation but it is definitely accepting of everybody.
Local Atmosphere:
The town is cute, but there isn't much to do.
Greek Life:
I'm not in greek life, so I can't give my opinion.
Campus Strictness:
It doesn't affect students' social lives.
Campus Dining:
Some days are better than others, but overall good food.
Off-Campus Dining:
It's hard to have variety in a small town.
They try to offer as much aid to students as they can, but it's hard when tuition is continuing to rise and most scholarships are from generous donors.
Being an athlete myself, i greatly enjoy participating in sports. The training facilities are not the best ever, but they get the job done.
Overall Experience:
The courses are great and stimulating. It keeps you on your toes, but it doesn't overwhelm you either.
Overall Experience:
The value of the degree from the school is good.
There are parties nearly every weekend, but they aren't the greatest parties ever. It's just something to do in a small town that doesn't offer much else.
Off-Campus Housing:
Not many students live off campus because the town around campus is not very big. It is also a huge hassle to get off-campus housing.
There isn't a ton of diversity because the college itself is mostly available to those of the upper middle class and above.
Campus Housing:
The dorm buildings could be more up to date, but overall, the campus is a great, friendly atmosphere.
Most programs set high standards, but they make it difficult when trying to get all the paper work done for applying to said programs. They also don't see some of the absurdities of when people apply to certain programs.
My program is the education program. I have not been fully accepted, but the steps required to get into the program truly prepare one for the teaching profession.
They distribute financial aid to those who need it and students have the ability to re-apply for financial aid if necessary.
The athletic events that take place on campus are a part of student life but it is no where near what a Division 1 campus would consist of. We are all proud to be Albion College Britons and support each other by going to games! Our athletic programs are on the rise and championships are within reach for every program.
You can always find something to do at Albion. All of the first year students live in the same residence hall so it makes getting to know people very easy. The surrounding area might not allow for the most exciting extracurricular activity but around campus, there are always meetings for clubs, carnivals, concerts, and events going on.
The library is open late every day so you always have time to go there for quiet in order to study. The athletic centers are in need of an update but still usable for those looking to bulk up and increase their cardiovascular endurance. Campus always looks inviting; even in the dead of winter, I find myself looking around at the buildings and stopping in awe of my surroundings.
Local Atmosphere:
Albion is run-down town that has little going for it except for a couple restaurants and the college.
Greek Life:
Our Greek Life is extremely philanthropic. The houses are always putting on charity events and getting involved in the community.
The variety of classes and the professors that teach classes are all phenomenal. We have an average workload and the small class sizes make it easy to receive help when it is needed.

Overall, Albion College is great for a number of reasons. The small campus makes it easy to make friends immediately and meet new people. While living in Albion can be boring at times, making the most of it is sometimes what will leave you with the most memories. There is a sense of community on Albion's campus that is hard to duplicate anywhere else. This isn't to say that everyone gets along, but there is a certain bond between all Albion students.
Albion's liberal arts education is something that also seems to be unique to the College. The professors are approachable, and their excitement for their courses is infectious. Even when you're taking a class that is not related to your major, you appreciate what you learn and are proud of what you've learned in looking back. Beneath the exterior sometimes, Albion is just a down-home friendly kind of place, and a lot of students seek comfort in that and learn to love where they are.
