|Harvard China Faculty Grant Program
Since 2007 the Harvard China Fund has awarded grants totaling over over $2 million to 20 recipients from across the University.
A sampling of research projects includes:
Every school at Harvard has multiple projects and academic partners in China. Beginning in 2011, an Annual Research Symposium is held at the Harvard Center Shanghai to generate research proposals and promote scholarly exchange between Harvard faculty and their Chinese colleagues. These symposia address the following key themes: Humanities and Higher Education • Public Health • Civil Society and Governance • Energy and Environment
Summary of Awards FY08-FY12
"The Harvard Project on Disability" ($160K) William Alford (HLS) and
colleagues, both here and in China, will spend three years conducting research on disability issues, helping build capacity in Chinese universities, offering advice
regarding legal development, and working with pertinent civic organizations for persons with disabilities (who may number some 130 million). This remains, as the
proposal puts it, a "much-neglected area" of law and services.
"Crisis Management: Research and Executive Training in Collaboration with Tsinghua University" ($150K) Herman B.
"Dutch" Leonard, who holds professorial appointments in the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) and Harvard Business School, and HKS colleagues will develop, with Tsinghua
University, executive-education programs for emergency preparedness and response to crises during their 18-month project.
"Reconciling Economic Growth and Air Pollution Control in China: An Integrated Approach" ($121K)
Michael McElroy and Chris Nielsen, executive director of the Harvard China Project, both of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, will direct a two-year
project in collaboration with Tsinghua to build scholarly capacity—from basic science to economic modeling and public-health studies—to assess China's policies for
controlling air pollution. (Nielsen co-edited Clearing the Air: The Health and Economic Damages of Air Pollution in China, an integrated Harvard-Tsinghua
analysis of the health and economic damages of air pollution in China, and the costs and benefits of policies to control it.)
"The Dragon's Kidney's—Medical Training and the National Standards of Care in China" ($50K) A
smaller 1-year grant was awarded to the Harvard Medical School-Brigham and Women's Hospital team of Dr. Dirk Hentschel and Dr. Joseph Bonventre for joint medical
training to address China's emerging problems of kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension.
"A Longitudinal Study of Childbearing and Childrearing in Two Chinese Cities" ($125K)
The two-year grant awarded to Vanessa Fong (HGSE) and Hirokazu Yoshikawa (HGSE) will allow them to link two longitudinal studies of families in Dalian and Nanjing
in order to examine the long-term implications of China's one-child policy for childbearing and childrearing among young adults who were themselves born under that
policy. Their study will be conducted in collaboration with Southeast University and Liaoning Normal University.
"Villages in Development"($175K)Margaret Crawford (GSD) was awarded a four-year grant to
identify and analyze how a range of different Guangzhou villages in the Pearl River Delta might contribute to and be integrated into local urban and economic
development in the region. She will conduct a joint seminar and studio sequence, collaborating with landscape and planning students and faculty at the South China
University of Technology.
"Interdisciplinary Research and Training for Improved Access to and Use of Medicines in China"
($150K)In order to address China's challenge of providing affordable access to essential medicines for its 1.3 billion citizens, Anita Wagner (HMS) and her
colleagues at Harvard School of Public Health, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital University of Medical Sciences, the Beijing Public Health Insurance Committee, the Ministry of
Health and WHO China will use a one-year grant to conduct research and training on medicines financing in the urban and rural health systems in China and expand the
novel Medicines and Insurance Coverage (MedIC) Initiative to China.
"Chinese Attitudes toward Inequality and Distributive Injustice: Changes at the Societal and Individual Level"
($100K)Martin Whyte (FAS-Sociology) will use his three-year grant to explore the patterns of change over time in Chinese citizen's attitudes toward
inequality and distributive injustice issues. Working with colleagues from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, UC-Irvine, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and Beida, this national survey
will build upon the findings of a comparable survey previously conducted in 2004.
"From Hunting and Gathering to Early Village Lifeways – Research & Teaching in China"($50K)
Ofer Bar-Yosef (FAS-Anthropology) will use his two-year grant to: 1) write a bi-lingual book on the technologies of making Chinese stone tools (including their method
of classification and function); 2) teach two Harvard courses in the School of Archaeology and Museuology in Peking University; and 3) conduct joint excavations of an
early village site with colleagues from the Institute of Archaeology and Cultural Relics of Hunan Province, Peking University, and Harvard University.
"Developing a Wintersession Course on China's Health System Reforms"($50K) Yuanli Liu (HSPH) was
awarded a one-year grant to develop a comprehensive curriculum for a Harvard wintersession course on China's healthcare system reforms. This course will have three
parts: 1) a preparatory seminar series at Harvard; 2) three weeks of field study culminating in a policy seminar with the Chinese Ministry of Health; and 3) a
final research paper. A series of teaching cases will also be developed into a textbook for use by HSPH, HMS, KSG, and College professors.
"A Digital Archive for Chinese Local History"($150K) The two-year grant awarded to James Robson and
Michael Szonyi (FAS-East Asian Languages and Civilizations) will support the infrastructure and lay the foundations for a permanent digital archive of unique
historical documents and materials collected in various localities in China. The archive project will yield three significant outcomes: 1) produce significant new
research on the religion, culture, and society of Hunan province from the Qing dynasty to the present; 2) produce the world's leading web-based archive for Chinese
local historical materials; and 3) create new networks of scholarly collaboration.
"Landscape and Ecological Urbanism: Future Alternatives for Beijing" ($30K) Distinguished GSD
alumnus Kongjian Yu offered an advanced studio course in spring 2010 related to an existing Peking University program he runs in collaboration with the Beijing Land
Bureau and the Beijing Planning Bureau. The studio was conducted with the support of Jane Hutton and Steve Ervin from the GSD. Students performed site analysis using
social and economic questionnaires, and developed various urban and landscape strategies for the region based on analysis of the landscape and ecosystems, social
economic context, and regional and global comparative studies.
"Course Development – "The Economy of China" ($90K) To address growing student interest and a lack of current offerings at Harvard, John Campbell (FAS-Economics) has proposed to create a visiting professorship to cover the teaching gap. Qualified candidates will specialize in Chinese or Asian economic development as their main research focus and will be knowledgeable about the broader political and social context. Ideally, they will also have a command of at least one major East Asian Language.
"Addressing Stigma to Improve Care for Persons with Serious Mental Illness in China" ($100K) In
collaboration with colleagues from the Shanghai Mental Center and the Peking University Institute for Mental Health, Byron Good (HMS) and Arthur Kleinman
(HMS/FAS-Anthropology) will spend two years: 1) piloting an innovative model of family support group intervention; developing a strategic plan for addressing social
stigma associated with mental illness in China; and organizing a set of seminars and workshops to advance student research on the topic.
"Young People and Civic Engagement in a Changing Society" ($100K) Robert Selman
(HGSE/HMS) and Helen Haste (HGSE) were awarded a two-year grant to explore how Chinese school students conceptualize and experience citizenship and civic and
ethical decision-making. The project will involve professors and students from East China Normal University, and broaden our understanding of cultural factors and
developmental processes at stake in modern Chinese society.
"Improving Seismic Hazard Assessment in China and the United States Based on Lessons Learned from the 2008 Wenchuan
(M7.9) Earthquake" ($100K) The two-year grant awarded to John Shaw (FAS-Earth and Planetary Sciences) will enable him to develop state-of-the-art
community fault and velocity models for the Sichuan area that will serve as the basis for an improved understanding of earthquake hazards in the region.
Collaborations with Nanjing University and PetroChina will lead to field work and research in China, student exchanges, joint publications in scientific journals, and
a new course at Harvard on the active tectonics of China.
"Developing a Curriculum on Civil Society and Nonprofit Organizations in China" ($100K)
FY08 Awards FY09 Awards FY10 Awards FY11 Awards FY12 Awards FY13 Awards

"Low-cost Water Purification Systems for Arsenic Removal from Drinking Water in Rural China"
($99,000) In collaboration with colleagues at Tianjin University, Peter Girguis (FAS-Organismic & Evolutionary Biology) will spend 1.5 years conducting
"open source" research to develop a small-scale system that uses energy derived from biomass to remove arsenic from drinking water at a high rate and low cost.
"Humanities Education for Non-Humanities Undergraduates" ($88,100) Jay Harris
(FAS-Near Eastern Languages & Civilizations) and Billy So (Hong Kong University of Science & Technology) have been awarded 2 years of funding to organize workshops
and a forum to examine and reflect on humanities general education at the two universities and other sample cases, with the goal of engaging in the broader discourse
on humanities education for non-humanities majors in a global age.
"Harvard Medical School Medical Mandarin" ($9,450) Over the next 1.5 years, Qin Shan
(HMS-Children's Hospital) will assist HMS/HSDM/HSPH students in developing basic language skills to communicate effectively with Mandarin-speaking patients.
Students will be taught common medical Mandarin terms and expressions and gain a thorough understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese culture through
language study.
"Embodied Cosmology: or Cognitive Archeology of Early Chinese Tombs" ($45,000) Together with
colleagues at Sichuan University, the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and the Institute of Han Pictorial Art at Beida, Eugene Wang (FAS-History of Art and Architecture)
will spend 2.5 years studying Han cliff tombs to align materiality-driven disciplines (archeology and art history) with concept-driven disciplines (religion,
intellectual history) in the study of the technology of the body and cosmic consciousness in ancient China. Ultimately, Professor Wang will develop a new course and
produce a manuscript based on his findings.

and Eric Campbell (HMS), together with collaborators Joseph Tucker (Univ. of North Carolina), Nie Jing-Bao (Univ. of Otago, New Zealand), and Wei Zhu (Fudan Univ.),
will spend the next three years conducting a study to investigate patient-physician trust in China using a biosocial approach that integrates anthropological,
sociological, normative ethical, cross-country comparative and social policy analyses. Their findings will ultimately establish a set of recommendations for health
systems interventions, communication strategies, and medical training reform in order to rebuild patient-physician trust throughout China.
"Improving Public Health Through Strengthening Health Information System in Urban and Rural China:
An Evaluation and Demonstration Project" ($100K) Together with colleagues from the Minhang District of Shanghai and Wenchuan County of Sichuan
Province, Yuanli Liu and Ashih Jha (HSPH) will spend the next year analyzing the implementation and effective use of Health Information Technology (HIT) in urban and
rural settings. Using Minhang District as a model, they will determine the impact of HIT adoption on quality of care, especially on the effectiveness of chronic
diseases management, and assess which lessons from Minhang can be applied to areas of Western China, such as Wenchuan County.

We're sorry
Asda Groceries has no current vouchers so here are some other merchants from the same category.
Asda Groceries Discount Vouchers
Asda Groceries Voucher Codes September 2014
It would be difficult to live in the UK and not know about the ASDA supermarket chain. This massive retailing corporation has stores all across the United Kingdom, selling much more than just groceries. They also sell general merchandise, clothes, toys and other products.
Only Tesco has a greater market share of this business sector in the UK. As a subsidiary of the world's largest retailer, Walmart, ASDA has plenty of firepower backing it up to take on Tesco for domination of the British megastore scene. ASDA is well-known for their clever marketing campaigns such as the TV ads showing customers tapping their pockets twice to show the clink of coins from the savings.
It's true that ASDA prices are generally very low, and ASDA discount vouchers appear frequently, offering even deeper savings. Their 'rollback' campaign that was modeled on Walmart's aims to persuade consumers that ASDA is the UK's most affordable retailer. This proved very successful, boosted by discount codes from ASDA that lowered prices even more.
The competitive spirit among ASDA's rivals such as Aldi ensures there is always an interesting ad campaign in the works. Recently, the retail giant has been going back to its roots with a new slogan 'Why Pay More?' along with the old favourite 'Saving You Money Every Day!'.
For the past 12 years, ASDA has won the 'Lowest Price Supermarket' award from The Grocer magazine. There's little debate that the sheer girth of ASDA enables it to keep prices low thanks to bulk buying. When an ASDA discount voucher comes along on top of the everyday cost, the final prices can be astonishing low.

Poise - A QB needs good pocket presence to "feel" where the pressure is coming from, but he must also handle the pass rush without panicking under pressure. Good poise in the pocket comes from a mental toughness that some guys just seem to have while others are lacking.
Decision Making - The mental aspect of playing quarterback in the NFL is often overshadowed by arm strength, but make no mistake, it can be the difference between a success and a bust. Look for the guy that has a knack for finding the open receiver, doesn't force the ball into double coverage on a consistent basis, and knows when to throw the ball away or pull it down and run with it.
Locating receivers - The key to watch for here is whether the quarterback is able to find his second and third options when his first option is covered. You don't want your quarterback to lock onto a receiver regardless of whether he is open or not. It doesn't take long for a defense to catch on and make things miserable for a QB who makes a habit of doing so.
Leadership - I mentioned this in lesson two as a trait scouts look for at every position, but I'll mention it here again because I feel it is more important in a quarterback than any other position on the field.
Grading the Prospect - As I also mentioned in lesson two, grading prospects is a very subjective process. Qualities like arm strength, accuracy, and decision making are far more important than most other traits, so it is not as simple as assigning a number for each area of evaluation and averaging them out to get a final grade. You have to assign more weight to the areas you feel are most important before making a determination, therefore, it will take a little thought as to how you go about giving a final grade.
I like to grade each player's ability in each category with a grade from 1-5 with 5 being the best score. I then assign a percentage of weight to each category with the most important receiving a weight of 100% while other areas may get a weight of only 75% or even 50% depending on how important I feel they are to playing the position in the NFL. I then add together all the scores after factoring in the weight of each category to it's score. The total of these numbers is my final grade and it gives me an indication as to how a player stacks up against his peers. This system works well for me, but you may want to come up with a system of your own and tweak it as you feel necessary.
In lesson Four, we'll take a look at the other guys in the backfield as we analyze all the important qualities of an NFL running back!

If you have never visited Destin or the Gulf Coast Area, you are in for a treat. Destin is not like the Jersey Shore area with boardwalks. Although you can surely walk around Destin, you are selling yourself short and not taking advantage of all that the Gulf Coast has to offer if you do not get in your car and explore the area. You can drive 20 miles towards Panama Beach and visit two other great State Parks, Grayton Beach or TopSail Beach State Park.

This is Destin's best kept secret. Tucked away between hotel and condo high rises and beach chair and umbrella rainbows, is a pristine place along one of the most picturesque stretches of Florida's Panhandle coastline. Get a glimpse of what Destin and the Gulf shores looked like before development. Pack a picnic lunch, a good book, and enjoy the most peaceful day you and your family will have in Destin. My first ever view of the Spectacular Destin Beaches was from the boardwalk of this hidden gem. I have been in love ever since. The park is open 365 days per year from 8:00 am to sundown. Their phone number is 850-837-7550.
Every Thursday during the summer, yes that is EVERY Thursday, you can watch a spectacular fireworks display at the Harbor Walk Marina. These are FREE, you can choose to see them from the marina or drive over the bridge leading to Ft Walton and at the end of the bridge is a parking lot where you can view them from a blanket or chair. Get there early, since this is so popular you will want to get a great spot. The fireworks are literally right above your head!
Have teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17? Do you worry that they will not have anything to do at night, when the sun goes down? Fudpuckers has a Teen Night all summer long, Mon-Thurs from 10:00 pm to 1:00 am. This is a monitored event, see their website for details. Price is $15 and includes a soft drink.

You can even feed the alligators with a special pole.
FREE movies are shown outdoors, reminiscent of the old drive in days. You can see these FREE moves twice per month from mid April through Dec on Saturday nights. Once this years calendar is published, I will post it here, check back for updates. The location is about 15 minutes from the condo, in Fort Walton on the lawn of a shopping plaza known as Uptown Station on the Emerald Coast's only giant 30? inflatable movie screen, which is put up in front of the Flag Pole in Central Park. They have a great sound system, and in some movies you can feel the ground vibrate!. Address is 99 Eglin Parkway NE, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548,

(WMC-TV) - An effort to make meningitis vaccinations a requirement for college students is making its way through the Tennessee Legislature.
Meningitis strikes nearly 1,500 Americans each year. According to the National Meningitis Association, 11 percent of those infected will die.
Chris Wilson's nephew, Jacob Nunley was a student at Middle Tennessee State University when he died last year after contracting the disease. Had Nunley been vaccinated against meningitis, his family believes he would still be alive. This tragedy is behind an effort in the state legislature to make this vaccine required for Tennessee college students.
"I believe had it been a requirement or mandatory, I don't believe we'd be standing here having this conversation today," said Wilson.
It's a regret Lynn Bozof has made a life mission. As founder of the National Meningitis Association she works to educate. 15 years ago she lost her college aged son, who was born in Memphis.
"This disease shows no mercy. Once it gets in your body you are fighting a losing battle," said National Meningitis Association President Lynn Bozof.
Until this becomes law or if it does not pass, a parent's best bet is to ask a doctor to give your child the vaccination.
"I wish all states would make it required because there is no down side to being vaccinated," said Bozof.
The Tennessee House of Representatives is scheduled to take up its version of the bill Tuesday.
It is believed Jacob Nunley contracted the disease from a steroid injection.

I was just wondering if this is a good way to power level. This is what I do:
I do deeper well on insane with a 22 Squire, 41 Apprentice and we'll be power leveling a level 0 monk. We have a
setup that allows us to do a full level in about 9 minutes. We get around 40k experience I believe in this 9 minutes.
When should we go to Ramparts?

Nothing seems to get the fan base worked up more than debating the choice of Favors or Cousins at pick #3. So I thought it would make sense to preserve the conversation in a FanPost so that everyone will be on record. There is one guarantee. Looking back at this decision in a couple of years, some of us will be right and some of us will be wrong. I just happen to think I'm right about this. The #3 pick for the Nets (if not dealt away) should be Derrick Favors!!! Here's why:
When realization sunk in that the Nets were going to be historically bad, I started watching college basketball to scout the prospects. Lots of college basketball. Ultimately, I settled in on Kentucky because of all the talk about some young guy named John Wall who was a likely lottery pick. Wow! I had my hopes up so high on Lottery Night . . . but that's a different story. Anyway, I was really impressed this season by Demarcus Cousins. He has the goods to be a really, really good player. But I have my share of concerns:
1. Cousins is a 19-year old who already tips the scale at close to 300 lbs. Plus, it's reported that he's been placed on a diet to control his weight. Couple all of that with undisputed reports about his early refusal to buy in the Kentucky's training program . . . I think these are red flags. One combine report listed him at 294lbs. I have a hard time coming up with the names of talented big men not named Shaq who weighed in well over 300lbs and played well. Cousins is quickly headed in the 300+ club. There are plenty of dudes who have eaten their way out of the league and he could be one of them. And he's not 7'. At the combine he measured in at like 6'9" or so barefoot I think.
2. Cousins may be emotionally unbalanced. Let's not kid ourselves, the kid is a tad tempermental. No one denies that. It may be good, if he channels it. Or it may be bad. In large part, Coach Cal, Rod Stickland and the Kentucky coaching staff kept him under control, which is easier to do on the college level on a closed-in campus. What happens when Demarcus doesn't have that support system around him in the big-time world of the NBA? There's no one to baby-sit you in the pros. And if you're a bit unhinged, trouble will find you.
3. Cousins does not have the athleticism to play PF and I'd rather not use the #3 pick for a backup center. Cousins is not, and will not be a better all around player than Brook Lopez. So why use such a high pick for Brook's caddy? Don't feed me the line that Cousins can guard NBA PFs. Not happening. Any skilled athletic PF would have no problem beating Cousins off the dribble or stepping back and knocking down jumpers. I watched a ton of Kentucky games this year and while Cousins is formidible in the low post, he has hardly any elevation and his foot speed in guarding the perimeter is suspect.
4. Finally, all the reports confirm that Favors is a really high-character kid. The one consistent word you'll hear about him is "coachable." Combined with his work ethic and athleticism, I think he has the be the pick at #3. Favors is only 18 yrs old and at 250lbs will continue to grow into his frame. He has all the mental and physical tools to be an all-star caliber players. I'm pretty confident that you won't see Favors pouting on the bench when the going gets tough. The Nets need to change the whole mindset of the team with hardworking can-do players who are willing to improve individually and collectively.
So, upon reflection, I'm heavily leaning toward Favors, mostly because of Cousins' shortcomings, but also because I think Favors is the better long term prospect. My apologies to those I've offended by diss'n Cousins. It's not personal.

Since 2011, historic state budget cuts totaling $2.3 BILLION have devastated Pennsylvania schools. Our children have lost 20,000 of their teachers, along with art, music, world languages, library, athletics, full day Kindergarten, transportation, field trips, textbooks, tutoring, and so much more. The de-funding of public education has gone hand in hand with a national "corporate-style-reform" movement that promotes privatization, high-stakes-testing, and mass school closures – all disproportionately affecting our poorest students and communities of color.
The good news is that people across the state – middle class and working class, black and white, Republican and Democratic, young and old – are coming together and fighting back. Be a part of the remarkable education justice movement in Southwest Pennsylvania fighting for great public schools for all our children. We are all volunteer parents, students, teachers, and community members. On this site, you will find space for conversation and civil debate as we ask questions and seek answers together. We are a movement, not an organization, and we may not all agree on everything, all the time: but together we are committed to keeping the focus on students and equity, evidence-based arguments, and saving public education as a public good.
We believe:
- State budgets must provide adequate, equitable, and sustainable public funding for public education. Everyone must pay their fair share.
- Education reform should address long-standing racial and class-based inequities. These include resource distribution, the disproportionate impact of school closures on communities of color, and inequitable disciplinary procedures that feed the school-to-prison pipeline.
- The public owns public education. We therefore oppose privatization (such as vouchers and tax credit programs), centralization of power, and mass school closures.
- Education justice depends on civil discourse, public debate, and the intentional inclusion of minority and historically excluded groups in decision making.
- Public policies must empower authentic parent engagement and protect student confidentiality.
- We can win when we work together with our grassroots colleagues here, across the state, and around the nation. Collaboration is essential and students are crucial leaders.
We are making a difference:
- Hosted the national launch (attended by 1,000 people) of education historian Diane Ravitch's new book, Reign of Error: The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America's Public Schools
- Pushed back poorly formed charter "reform" legislation in 2013 that would have harmed public school districts.
- Co-founded a new coalition, Great Public School (GPS) Pittsburgh, to find ways to work together towards great schools for all Pittsburgh children.
- Raised significant questions and hosted conversations about the impact of Teach for America (TFA) and school closures on our students and communities.
- Saved $100 million from being cut in the 2012-13 state education budget, preserving early childhood and Kindergarten programs.
- Prevented voucher legislation that would have sent public money to private schools.
- Nixed a bill that tried to remove control from local, democratically elected school boards.
- Sparked a "Manchester Miracle," filling empty school library shelves with thousands of books while calling attention to persistent equity issues.
- Prompted a national conversation that went viral about the negative and inequitable impacts of high-stakes-testing on students and schools.
- Exposed the money trail leading from ultra-wealthy, out-of-state donors to political campaigns here in Southwest PA.
- Hosted rallies, town hall meetings, candlelight vigils, mock-bake sales, call-your-legislator days, youth advocacy events, film showings, letter writing parties, trips to Harrisburg, press conferences, meetings with legislators, petition drives, teach-ins, an Operatic Rally, and a Rolling Rally showcasing communities impacted by school closures.

The Effect of GnRH on Pitutitary Hormones in Menstrual-Cycle Mood Related Disorders
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
The normal menstrual cycle is produced by a series of hormonal signals that starts with the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is located in the brain and is often referred to as the master gland. GnRH then acts on the pituitary gland and causes it to release two hormones, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and lutenizng hormone (LH). LH and FSH act on the ovary and cause it to release the hormones directly involved in menstruation, estrogen and progesterone.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity as measured by pituitary hormones, FSH and LH in response to intravenous doses of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) in menstrual cycle-related hormones.

'Surgery rates decline' for elderly patients
The report found that surgery rates decline for people as they grow older for a number of treatments including breast cancer operations, joint replacements, prostate cancer treatments and hernias.
While the incidence of breast cancer peaks in patients aged 85 and older, surgery rates decline sharply from the age of 70, the figures indicate.
Pensioners are the main group to receive hip and knee replacements but the rates of surgery in England dropped sharply in patients over the age of 70, according to the data which examines the number of operations between 2008 and 2011.

It's been a season of firsts for the state-bound Mt. Vernon baseball team.
The Rams have never been this deep in the postseason tournament.
Mt. Vernon wound its way to the state finals in 2001, but the tournament included a total of eight teams at that point.
When the Rams journey north to Joliet, they will be one of just four teams left in the 3A tournament.
Mt. Vernon's postseason journey started with the Rams rolling past Herrin in the opening round. The Rams knocked off arch rival Centralia in the regional final.
The next stop was the Effingham sectional where the Rams silenced the host team. Mt. Vernon topped Triad in the sectional final. The result reversed a 3-1 loss from earlier in the season against the Knights.
A day later the Rams faced Bloomington in the super sectional and a chance for a berth in the final four.
Mt Vernon jumped out early and took advantage of some mistakes from the Purple Raiders to win 6-1.
The Rams enter the state finals with the school's win record. They are currently 31-8-1.
Postgame celebration
The Rams celebrated their latest accomplishment on the GCS Ballpark field Tuesday.
Players, fans and well wishers milled around the artificial turf, taking pictures and offering congratulations.
That left time for a few pranks perfectly executed by members of the team.
A pair of players blindsided Mt. Vernon coach Tim Holloway, smearing him with shaving cream, while he was distracted, during an interview with the media.
Moments later more players showered him with water from a Gatorade bucket.
All the coach could do was smile and enjoy the moment.
Stingy Defense
It's become nearly impossible to score against the Rams.
Mt. Vernon has allowed just three runs in five postseason games.
Brock Fulkerson and Tyler Ellis have pitched every inning of the postseason. Ellis was on the mound for the regional final and super sectional win. Fulkerson pitched the Rams to wins in the regional and sectional semifinals along with the sectional championship.

We already know that delimited continuations are more expressive than undelimited ones (
call/cc). We can trivially express undelimited continuations by wrapping our entire program in a reset marker, while we need a mutable cell to express delimited continuations using
There's another very handy construct in programming that uses the call stack: dynamic variables. We know that dynamic variables and delimited continuations don't play nicely with each other. Rather, there are several reasonable semantics for how they could work together, which means there is no obviously correct semantics for how they should work together. Of course, Oleg's worked all this out for us: we want delimited dynamic variables. What are those?
Let's look at an example of the kind of trouble we might run into with normal dynamic variables. We'll use Squeak, but Scala's implementation has the same issue because it's pretty much the same implementation. Note that Squeak's implementation uses a class (not an instance! [1]) as a dynamic variable. (This is a handy and cheap way of declaring a globally visible thing without major changes like altering variable lookup.) Let's see the problem:
What should the value of this expression be? Consider that shift cuts out part of the stack, from where we call shift up to where we call reset. In particular it captures part of the stack into a function that looks like this:
[:x | [TestDynamicVariable value: 2 during: [x]]]. In other words, it cuts out the inner change to
TestDynamicVariable. Note that we do not invoke this function in the example above! We just throw away that part of the stack. We thus expect
TestDynamicVariable value to evaluate to
1. Unfortunately, it doesn't; it evaluates to
2. Why?
Let's look at how dynamic variables are implemented in Squeak. A
ProcessSpecificVariable is a thread local variable. A
DynamicVariable is a
Each process has a dictionary mapping
DynamicVariable subclasses to values. During the execution of a block, we store the old value, run the block with the new value in the dictionary, and restore the old value. In other words, the variable bindings are not associated with the call stack: they're changed, and then restored as the stack unwinds. But since the value has changed as a side effect, before the shift, we get the wrong value.
We see that with this implementation, the delimited continuation closes over the entire dynamic environment. Just like with
call/cc, this captures too much. How do we fix this?
There's a common idiom in Smalltalk code, stemming from Smalltalk having resumable exceptions. (What's a resumable exception, you ask? It's something that turns
throw new Exception() into a statement that can return a value, making it possible for an exception handler to recover from an error and resume computing as though nothing happened, from the point where the original exception was thrown.) The idiom looks like this:
Gosh, that looks a lot like a dynamic variable. OK, let's try formalise this ad hoc idiom:
With this in place, we can say things like this:
OK, but we have this already. So what?
What happens when we throw delimited continuations into the mix?
And here we see that a
DelimitedDynamicVariable captures part of the dynamic environment: precisely those changes between the shift and reset!
[1] Of course a class is itself an instance, but we won't go into metaclasses today.

Pain in bones, joints and muscles consistently ranks among the top five most common reasons for all healthcare visits in the US.
According to a recent literature review, chronic pain - which is pain that persists beyond the expected period of healing - affects the health of 100 million Americans every year and up to 80 percent of Americans overall at some point in their lives.
Given its widespread prevalence and the profound implications for healthcare costs and lost productivity, there is clearly a need for proper diagnosis and care of chronic pain.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - the most commonly prescribed medications for chronic pain - are surprisingly ineffective in many scenarios. On the other hand, antidepressants and anticonvulsants seem to be remarkably effective in many instances of chronic bone and joint pain.
These are some of the ways health experts recommend you manage chronic pain in your daily life:
- Use safety precautions and common sense when performing everyday activities like driving, fitness routines such weightlifting or workplace routines like operating heavy machinery.
- Avoid tobacco use; control diabetes and any other health issues you may have to reduce your risk of developing chronic pain.
- Treat mood disorders such as depression or anxiety appropriately and on time.
- Vist your healthcare giver to understand the underlying source of your pain. Most chronic pain cases are related to slow, degenerative joint processes, nerve impingement, compression or damage.
Healthcare experts believe that better cooperation and information sharing between physicians and patients can point the way to the right therapy, which can be tailored to suit each individual patient's needs.

Keratolytics are medications designed to dissolve skin flakes and scales. Removing these scales not only improves the appearance of the skin and minimizes dandruff, it also helps other topical medications to penetrate the skin better.
Most keratolytics are available over the counter. The ingredients most commonly found in keratolytics include salicylic acid, urea, lactic acid and phenol. Ask your pharmacist for recommendations of products containing these ingredients.
Home remedy: You also can use olive oil to remove scales. It can be left on overnight under a shower cap. In the morning, the oil is washed out (this can be done with a keratolytic shampoo) and the softened skin flakes can be removed by brushing or combing.

|Spencerville back on track for water project
|Tuesday, November 05, 2013 12:00 AM
Staff Writer
SPENCERVILLE — Mayor P. J. Johnson reported during Monday's village council meeting Village Administrator Sean Chapman, Richard Kirk of Kirk Bros., Poggemeyer Design Group and IFM (Industrial Fluid Management) met with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) in Columbus on Friday to discuss the revised plans for the water treatment plant. The meeting led to the agency granting the village partial approval of the revised plans which will allow commencement of the project.
Johnson said IFM has sent a letter of thank you to the OEPA.
On Oct. 25, prior to the meeting in Columbus, Chapman, Kirk, Poggemeyer and IFM met at the water treatment plant to review the existing construction and determine how the new construction would connect to the existing infrastructure. The information from the meeting was used by Poggemeyer and IFM to create the revised plans to complete the project.
Also in Chapman's report was an update on the funding for the canal trail project, which, if granted, will be funded by Clean Ohio Trails Fund Grant through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). The application was submitted last year and has now been conditionally approved. Chapman will contact the ODNR for the details on the grant period and time frame to appropriate funds for the project, which Chapman says he believes is a reimbursement type grant.
Village council passed five resolutions including establishing a cafeteria plan for flexible benefits for employees, which will go into effect Dec. 1; and authorizing Reliable Plumbing Contract for utility bill collection, which is a renewal with the current contract set to expire.
"This contract can be terminated by either party 60 days after notification," Johnson said. "We have had previous discussions about in-house collection."
Two more resolutions were approved including authorizing the EMS and fire contracts. Both were up for renewal with no changes to the contract.
Council suspended and passed on emergency the final resolution approving transferring appropriations within the Income Tax Fund.
Council unanimously voted to approve paying the bills in the sum of $10,158.
Johnson said that after receiving Village Attorney Alan Smith's resignation letter in September and has been in contact with other municipalities inquiring about legal representation.
"The trend is that municipalities do not have one main solicitor," he said. "They use firms with multiple attorneys since many attorneys do not have the time to dedicate themselves to one municipality."
Johnson said the village will use a Lima firm Cory, Meredith, Witter, Anderson & Smith Professional Legal Association, as its legal representation with Steven Kessler sitting in at council meetings.
In the Police Report, Chief Darin Cook said the department is one canine officer down. Eleven-year-old Barry, who was in service eight years, had been suffering from lower back arthritis which had been causing severe pain in his legs. His condition worsened and the canine had to be put down. Arrangements for the cremation and burial are in process.
Cook also reported that he has been working 6-7 days a week due to the shortage of manpower. He has been trying to recruit part-time help and making a huge effort to cover all shifts.
He also gave an update on the coyote's that have been plaguing the village.
"One was brave enough to follow behind me while driving in the cruiser," he added.
As discussed in October's meeting, the plan is to set traps in ditches. Cook said he thought the coyotes would retreat from the village after the corn was taken off.
"If anyone comes up on a coyote, do not turn and run," Cook warned. "It will think you are prey. Stand your ground and yell at it."
In addition, Cook says there have been complaints from residents about citizens walking their dogs and not cleaning up after them.
"There is a village ordinance," he explained. "I've never had to enforce it in the 24 years that I have been here."
Village Clerk/Treasurer Dawn Bailey said that she and Chapman have worked on the budget and that it may be complete by Dec. 1.
"When the levy passes, we will not see revenue until April," Bailey detailed. "We will only see a portion and it will be a good year before we see larger revenues."
Councilman Michael Bice asked Bailey how much revenue is expected.
"About $80,000 is a ballpark figure," she said.

Caron's comeback is awesome news, but I think one detail of the situation has been overlooked. There's an interesting quote from Mike Jones' (who!) report which came from an exchange that started when one of the trainers exited the men's room and asked if anyone could take care of the "gift" that he left in there. In response, Caron said:
As of now, there's still no word on if the lingering struggle between the two will affect his birthday plans.

COntinue to push your mind my most intelligent brother.
Our world needs more people like you and Rick and others on OV.
BEfore I came here, I was starting to think that mental gymnastics was a thing of the past.
You have renewed my faith in evolution.
Thanks for posting what you did.
I feel awake again.
KEep it coming Hari.
Our reality is still something magical and incredible to behold and I am sure between many people who are also waking up post like yours and Ricks will help more and more people to awaken mentally.
I love the way that you guys push the mental envelope.
This is how we will continue to escape more and more of the Matrix, and our combined thinking is what the rulers of the world fear the most.
PEace and sharp smart thoughts to you and yours.
Always a pleasure to be of some service to a like minded brother.
It is not every day that I run into a mind like yours Hari.
SO when I do, I try to do my best to find the many levels of synchronicity that we share.
Your mind is crisp and sharp, and you thirst for knowledge as much if not more than I do.
Thanks again for your post it is right on cue.
Rick also uses the muscle that is between his ears as well.
I have been very impressed with his thinking prowess.
This is the way of the future.
Push the mind to its ultimate limits, because we have been letting our minds sleep for thousands of centuries and now, we are awake and can see the benifit of waking our minds up.
COntinue on your most excellent pursuit my brother.
Love you and your mind most intelligent brother. Keep it coming, we need all of the minds that we can get.
Thanks again.
Dear Regg,
Thank you so much for the 2 amazing links you posted. I had a quick look at both the websites. I also watched the video at treeincarnation. I must say, it completely resonated with me. There is a lot of information there that I need to checkout further. On the 2nd website, I have read quite a bit about the holographic universe both from the point of view of Susskind and also Bohm.
I am more inclined towards Bohm's idea, the fractality of the universe wherein it is mirrored at the full range of scales from the nanoscopic to the macroscopic. Susskind's idea is fanciful and perhaps more complex, though I don't quite relate to the universe being a higher dimensional projection of a lower dimensional reality, rather an evolution of it.
I don't know how true my hypotheses is, but I am somewhat attracted to the elegance, beauty and its ability to explain most of the difficult questions like what Dark Energy, Dark Matter is.
I am glad there are people like you have such a fervent thirst for knowledge. It would indeed be wonderful to collaborate.
Much Love and Light,
Your information is amazing Hari.
The more I search, the more I find.
If you want some back up information to what you just showed us, take a good look at this.
In fact please take a look at both of them.
I dont know who you are Hari, but it is apparent that you are seeking a very deep truth.
Here is some more information to help you grasp the importance of what you have posted.
Maybe you already know it and maybe you don't.
I learned that there are many minds like mine out there and we are all looking to enlighten ourselves.
But an even greater responsibility has developed for me lately and that is to say that it is my responsibility to further scientific information to you and everyone else, because it is time for us to figure out this entire mystery that we call life.
Thank you for posting this Hari.
I send an equal and important piece of the continuing mystery that we percieve as life, and it could all be one big shared dream for all of us but we don't have a clue yet.
Keep searching and great gifts of knowledge expands in a timeless universe that we are just beginning to think that we actually understand.
Well done Hari.
Excellent research on your part.
Each one teach one.

Not to be outdone by UTEP's fruitless antics, the Cougars respond with a half-assed drive of their own that stalls (by the standards they've set today) in a 38-yard Mitch Payne field goal. Marlon McClure is held to a mere 21 yards on his next kickoff return, and as the second quarter begins, Trevor Vittatoe is intercepted at his own 25-yard line. On BYU's very next play, Jake Heaps hits Cody Hoffman down the left sideline for a 31-yard touchdown. The second quarter is barely underway, and the Cougars hold a 24-3 lead.
Trevor Vittatoe continues to be chased backwards, Family Circus-style, as another pocket collapses and UTEP's hit with a 19-yard loss plus a penalty. BYU goes back on offense, and what might be a lucky break for the Miners is lost when a recovered Cody Hoffman fumble is re-lost and Hoffman himself recovers the ball. With 12:27 remaining in the first half, BYU leads UTEP 31-3 in the 2010 New Mexico Bowl.

text: The NBA needs to rid itself of hack-a-Dwight, son of hack-a-Shaq, soon to be hack-a(n?)-Omer. My proposal is that all such fouls be treated as flagrant fouls. All fouls that are not legitimate "basketball plays," would be flagrant fouls whether "hard" or not. I realize that some think there should be strong penalties for being a bad free throw shooter, but the current approach is unduly punitive to such players and makes a mockery of the game. More importantly, it makes for a bad fan experience as we watch the parade to the free throw line of incompetant shooters.

Nebraska wraps up preseason workouts
Nebraska wrapped up its preseason work for the 2012 season on Saturday morning with a one-hour walk through at Memorial Stadium. The Huskers will now turn their full attention to preparing for next Saturday's season opener at Memorial Stadium against Southern Mississippi.
Following Saturday's workout Head Coach Bo Pelini briefly discussed the difficulty that lies ahead in facing the Golden Eagles, who are under first-year head coach Ellis Johnson.
"There are a lot of challenges that come with it (facing a new coaching staff)," Pelini said. "We don't know exactly what they are going to do on either side of the ball. You have your guesses, but it does become even more of a challenge. That's part of the deal when you are playing a new coach. There are a lot of unknowns and a lot of things you've got to get ready for."
Pelini looked back on the past three weeks, a time span in which the Huskers have had 24 practices over the past 22 days.
"It has been a lot of work getting ready to play. I think the team is anxious to stop hitting each other and get ready to play a real game. It's about that time."
Pelini also discussed the Huskers' depth at I-back heading into the season. The group is led by senior Rex Burkhead who piled up 1,357 yards and 17 touchdowns en route to All-Big Ten honors in 2011. Sophomores Ameer Abdullah and Braylon Heard each saw reserve duty last year, while true freshman Imani Cross has made a strong impression during fall camp.
"We have good depth at running back. You are going to see a lot of them out there. You have Rex, Braylon, Ameer, Imani we have a lot of options and a lot of guys that we want to get carries for."
Pelini said the Huskers are in good health heading into the week of the season opener, with no top unit players ruled out of the contest. Pelini also announced following Saturday's practice that cornerback Jonathan Rose arrived in Lincoln earlier this week and has joined the NU program. Rose spent his freshman season in 2011 at Auburn and appeared in nine games for the Tigers. He will sit out the 2012 season as a redshirt.
Nebraska will return to the practice field on Monday afternoon to continue preparations for Southern Miss. The season opener will be televised nationally with a 2:30 p.m. kickoff.

Lubbock residents made their voices heard to the City Council Tuesday. They spoke out against the possible building of an animal shelter at Clapp Park.
Romero Rivera said, "I'm also a resident at Clapp Park close to the proposal site. I grew up in that neighborhood and my kids grew up here and now my grandkids, I'm raising them right now, and I don't feel is an appropriate place for an animal shelter."
The comments at the City Council meeting come after Council Member Linda DeLeon held a protest rally at Clapp Park Monday night. "We had a tremendous turnout last night, close to 300 people showed up. It was awfully hot in that building," DeLeon said.
Sally Cantu is a concerned citizen who can see Clapp Park from her front yard. She said, "I'm against it big time. The thing is this is residential. They're taking parks away from my children. These children look forward to going over there and playing in the afternoon and during the day. What are they going to do, go play at the dog pound? Come on guys, let's be real."
Cantu hopes the council will take that into consideration when choosing a location for the new shelter.
City Council hasn't put the Clapp Park initiative on their agenda yet, but DeLeon says it may be soon, "We may be placing it on the agenda for the entire council to discuss at the next city council meeting."
The city approved building the shelter at McAlister Park. However, Clapp Park was proposed as a possible site because some believe the shelter should be built at a more central location.

A Side of Outsourcing You Won't Hear From Lou Dobbs
Outsourcing and the Internet are helping "microbusiness" owners to thrive, USA Today reported in a recent edition. That's funny. As Lou Dobbs would have us believe, outsourcing does nothing but turn middle class Americans into economic cannon fodder for major corporations.
"Competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency are nothing more than code words for 'cheaper labor,'" Dobbs complained in the "Exporting America" chapter of his latest book "War on the Middle Class."
By "finding cheaper labor all over the world," major corporations have created a level playing field all right, "they obviously mean to cut the American standard of living down to the level of the third world," snarked the Harvard-educated business anchor.
But far from being reduced to eating beans and rice and living in sodden hovels, American entrepreneurs have coupled outsourcing with ingenuity and made successful businesses based on the Internet.
"Fed up with rising labor costs, a new generation of entrepreneurs is launching millions of tiny companies" without hiring any full-time employees. At some 20 million workers they comprise one-sixth of the civilian non-government labor force, USA Today reporter Jim Hopkins noted in his December 11 Money section story.
"In place of paid employees, owners harness new technologies to outsource work, often linking up with other like-minded" innovators to harness "a virtual assembly line spanning the globe," Hopkins added. One microbusiness owner, "Mary Ferrin experts to sell $150,000 in party games this year, a 50% jump from 2005."
Of course Ferrin does outsource work to partners "in Greece and Canada" but as an individual member of the middle class herself, would she constitute a defector in Dobbs's so-called war?
In a February 7, 2005, Mother Jones magazine interview, Dobbs insisted that regulation to stop outsourcing may be "entirely necessary" before adding that he's "all for it" with "apologies to the libertarians."
Dobbs's apologies might also be due to innovators like Lisa and Mark Solomon, a husband and wife team who sell gifts at thebillablehour.com. Government regulation is one factor preventing them from hiring staff.
The high cost of "workers' compensation insurance, health benefits, federal and state payroll taxes, and complying with workplace regulations" prove a significant disincentive for the Solomons to place employees on the payroll, Hopkins reported.

Former "The Wire" star Robert F. Chew reportedly passed away this week in his Baltimore, Maryland apartment due to health complications at the age of 52.
According to reports, the actor, most known as 'Proposition Joe," died from cardiovascular disease.
Robert F. Chew -- best known for playing Proposition Joe on "The Wire" -- was found dead yesterday in his apartment in Baltimore ... TMZ has learned. According to the coroner in Baltimore, Chew died of cardiovascular disease. "Morbid obesity" was listed as a contributing factor. Chew had very little acting experience before "The Wire" or after. He was on the cult HBO show -- which took place in Baltimore -- for five seasons. (TMZ)
"The Wire" creator David Simon reflected on losing a former cast member.
"Robert was not only an exceptional actor, he was an essential part of the film and theater community in Baltimore," David Simon, creator of 'The Wire' said in an email Friday. "He could have gone to New York or Los Angeles and commanded a lot more work, but he loved the city as his home and chose to remain here working. He understood so much about his craft that it was no surprise at all that we would go to him to coach our young actors in season four. He was the conduit through which they internalized their remarkable performances." (Baltimore Sun)
Fellow "Wire" star Jamie Hector, who played "Marlo Stanfield," paid his condolences to Chew Friday (January 18).
"I didn't want to believe this #RIP Robert F Chew, Prop Joe will always be remembered Robert Chew will always be loved and missed!," he tweeted Friday. (Jamie Hector's Twitter)
Another notable "Wire" actor Wendell Pierce remembered Chew's on and off-camera legacy.
"To the beloved Robert Chew, a man who was real Bawlmore, and created the iconic character of "Prop Joe", may you RIP. A teacher & friend.," he tweeted January 18th. (Wendell Pierce's Twitter)

I am trying to preinstall an signed java application, on nokia 5500 sport.
I have put the jad & jar in the right place (\System\Data\midp2\preinstall) on the memory card but the application is not installed automatically like it should.
The signed app installed and work correctly by bluetooth (i installed with jad so the certificate is no problem, nor is the data in the jad).
Does anyone has any idea why the automatic installation doesn't work?
Have a nice day,

Hello developers,
I have a Webapp that displays images from a foreign server I do not control. This has worked nicely for several month till today.
Now it happened that the server does not deliver the images at the path it should.
It delivers a 404 instead. And my webapp shows a big grey rectangle instead of the picture.
On the emulator I see a small icon for a broken image, but on the device just this rectangle.
(In this special case their web page is also broken, so I hope they will fix it soon. But if I'm unlucky they reorganize everything)
Now what can I do, so the user is not confused to much?
Can I check if images were successful loaded,
so I can replace them with something different, or show a message?
(currently the images are loaded just as img-tags, but I can load them also as background image, if this helps somehow)
If this is permanent, what do I do in the app store? I do not want that users download the software while it is not working.
Never the less I would like that the users can get information there. But releasing a new version take a week. Ideally I would like that the users can get some Information that service is unavailable in moment, and they should come back when a new version is there.
What options do I have ?
