Problem with images
30 May 2008 at 6:57am Last edited: 30 May 2008 6:57am
I've got a problem with some images in SS. I have a class 'oProfileMdl' which first extended from DataObject, but now from Member because I needed the fields from this class in the CMS. Now the images don't show up on the website. At first it worked fine. The code I'm using in the template is:
<% control Foto %>
<% control CroppedImage(103,105) %>
<img src="$URL" alt="Bekijk het profiel van '$FirstName $Surname'" title="Bekijk het profiel van '$FirstName $Surname'" width="103px" height"105px" />
<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>
I just pass it a DataObject like I normally do, also when I put the $FotoID in the link it is visible.
Also I've created a form which edits the profile, when when i put the following code in it SS gives a error: Method 'Foto' not found in class 'Member'
new SimpleImageField('Foto','Uw pasfoto:'),
In the oProfileMdl there is a static $has_one
static $has_one = array(
'Foto' => 'Image'
Does anybody know a solution?

You would refer to Foto in the template as $Foto unless you had a method in the class file which was called Foto, which you don't hence the error: Method 'Foto' not found in class 'Member'.
Why does oProfileMdl extend Member?

If you are using member you might want to make sure you added the extension to it in your _config file -
DataObject::add_extension('Member', 'MyCustomMember');
See the forum module for how it extends the member class

The adductors are fan-like muscles in the upper thigh that pull the legs together when they contract. They also help stabilize the hip joint. The adductors attach from the pelvis to the femur (thigh bone).
The most common cause of groin pain is a muscle strain that causes localized pain in the inner thigh, or groin. A severe tear can cause a sudden, acute pain and may be accompanied by swelling and bruising. They are painful to the touch, and pain increases with resistance movements, and stretching of the inner thigh and hamstrings.
These injuries often occur during a sudden change of direction while running and quick starts and stops. These injuries are especially common in field or court sports.
Is It a Groin Pull or a Hernia?The symptoms of sports hernia are sometimes mistaken for a a groin pull or strain. A dull aching pain that intensifies with exercise may be the only symptom of an sports hernia. An inguinal hernia, however, typically creates a bulging protrusion in the lower abdomen or upper groin that is hard to miss. If you suspect a hernia, a visit to your physician is the next step.
Treating Groin PainAlso See: Five Tips for Treating Groin Pain
For immediate relief of a groin pull, use the R.I.C.E. treatment method. Rest, ice, compression and elevation are the best immediate treatment for pulls and strains. Avoid aggravating activities for the first one to two weeks and gradually return to sports.
Taping the GroinSome athletes find that taping the groin can reduce pain and help protect from further injury. Applying special precut groin tape, such as Scrip Spidertech Tape is one way to easily tape the groin area.
As you begin to increase your activity you may find it helpful to ice the area after exercise to control any swelling. After applying the ice, wrap the thigh to keep it compressed for 15-20 minutes.
An over-the-counter anti-inflammatory can also be helpful to reduce pain and inflammation for up to a week after the injury.
When inflammation subsides, you can start with gentle groin stretching and progress to a strengthening program of low-intensity exercises.
Running may be started during recovery, but it should be gentle, gradual and not include hill or sprint work. Pay attention to signs of pain or increased tenderness, and reduce exercise if any develops. Stretch gently and never force a stretch. A return to activity should be possible within two or three weeks.
Preventing a Groin PullProper warm up and stretching is helpful to prevent groin pulls.
Recommended Groin and Hip Stretches
- Groin Stretching Exercises
- Standing Groin Stretch
- Seated Groin and Inner Thigh Stretch
- Hip Flexor Stretch
Additionally, gradually increasing time, and intensity of activity can prevent overuse and trauma to the working muscles. Muscle strength, and proper biomechanics during activity can also reduce the risk of muscle strains.

On Valentine's Day our thoughts turn to romantic things like dinner for two or flowers that say, "I Love You." It's also a time to let others know that you love them as a friend or neighbor. That love can be shown in a lot of ways but one of the best is "Sweets for the Sweet." Here are some ideas sure to impress your Valentine whether you are making them with a child or an adult wanting to impress a sweetheart. Happy Valentines Day!
(Even the non-cook will love this recipe)
Parent - Line six heart-shaped 3" cookie molds with plastic wrap, leaving 1" of overhang. Coat with cooking spray. In large bowl, combine marshmallows and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and microwave 30 seconds longer.
Child - Stir in cereal and pink sugar crystals. Coat hands with vegetable cooking spray, and press mixture into molds. Let mixture harden for at least 45 minutes.
Child - Carefully lift hearts out of molds by pulling on plastic wrap. Press a craft stick 1" into bottom of each heart.
Child - Decorate hearts by drizzling or spreading melted Candy Melts and chocolate morsels on top. Lay pops on waxed paper and top with sprinkles. Let set 20 minutes.
Note: Heart-shaped plastic or metal cookie molds and lollipop or craft sticks are available at party or craft stores.
*resource: Parents/February 2001
(Fill these favorites with raspberry or strawberry jelly)
Chill overnight before using. Rollout dough and cut with a heart cookie cutter. Each cookie needs a top and bottom. Bake at 350 for 8 - 10 minutes.
When cool, assemble cookies. Place a teaspoon of jelly on the bottom of a cookie, then cover with another cookie. (The tops of the cookies should be facing outward on both top and bottom.) Sprinkle with Confectioner's Sugar.
In Victorian times, lovers declared their affections via words, songs, pictures and foods. One such food was gingerbread
In large bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt. Blend together margarine and brown sugar until smooth. Add corn syrup and egg; beat well. Add dry ingredients, about one-third at a time, mixing until smooth after each addition. Chill dough one hour.
Roll out half of dough on lightly floured surface to one-quarter-inch thickness. (Reserve other half for decorations or for a second batch of cookies.) Using heart-shaped cookie cutter, press out cookie shapes or use knife to cut around a pattern. Place hearts on cookie sheet. Decorate as desired. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes until golden. Remove and place on wire racks to cool. Store in covered container. Makes about eight 4½ inch cookies.

Old Dominion will say farewell to a nationally renowned visionary, Nancy Topping Bazin, at the end of this month. Bazin, an eminent scholar, professor of English and first director of the women's studies program, is retiring after more than 21 years here.
Bazin came to Old Dominion from the University of Pittsburgh where she had coordinated its women's studies program for one year. Previously, in 1973, she founded one of the first women?s studies programs in the United States at Rutgers College of Rutgers University.
When she arrived at Old Dominion, she became the director of the first women's studies program in the commonwealth of Virginia. "This university encouraged faculty creativity in a supportive atmosphere that I greatly appreciated," she recalls.
Bazin served as director of the program until 1985. Under Bazin, the women's studies program progressed from six courses to 26 per year, and it later became the first in the state to offer a minor and a major. Bazin also created a master's degree in women's studies offered through the Institute of Humanities. She went on to chair the English department from 1985-89, before returning to full-time teaching.
During her career Bazin received many honors. In 1994, she was one of 11 college professors in Virginia to be selected for a State Council of Higher Education Outstanding Faculty Award. She was also a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study at Indiana University and a Resident Fellow at the Virginia Foundation's Center for the Humanities.
In 1996, Bazin was honored with the title eminent scholar for outstanding and innovative research. That same year she received the Charles O. and Elisabeth C. Burgess Faculty Research and Creativity Award. Last spring, fund-raising began for the Nancy Topping Bazin Graduate Scholarship in Women's Studies.
In the October 1999 issue of Like Minds, the Friends of Women's Studies' newsletter, former students, colleagues and national scholars praised Bazin for her dedication, teaching and scholarship. Charles Burgess, dean emeritus of the College of Arts and Letters, wrote: "For the past 10 years, Nancy has become a model for the ideal teacher/scholar, and she has done it by taking on new challenges, developing new courses, perusing research tracks relentlessly and setting the highest standard for everything she does."
From New York University, dean and University Professor of English Catharine Stimpson wrote: "As early as 1980, Professor Bazin was describing what a multicultural curriculum might be like and how important it was for an interdependent global society. She has been in the forefront of some of the most important developments in the humanities in the past 20 years or so."
Bazin has been a pioneer in the study of women's writers, women's studies and curriculum transformation. She is one of the leading scholars of the works of Virginia Woolf, Nadine Gordimer, Doris Lessing and black African women writers such as Buchi Emecheta and Bessie Head.
Bazin has published two books, "Virginia Woolf and the Androgynous Vision" and "Conversations with Nadine Gordimer," and more than 40 articles. She was one of the first to recognize the importance of Woolf and Lessing's contributions to literature, and her recognition of Gordimer's merit came years before she won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
An article chronicling Bazin's creation of the women's studies program at Rutgers will be included in "The Politics of women's Studies: Testimony from Thirty Founding Mothers," a book to be published in June by the Feminist Press. Bazin is looking forward to "being free to read what she wants to read" and to having time to write. She and her husband also plan to travel. While they are still "young" and energetic, they will "travel first to the places farthest away (like Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii)." Because Bazin is on the Presidential Search and Transition Committee, however, their plans to travel far away will be delayed until fall, she said.
The women's studies department is not only losing its founding director with Bazin's departure but also its longtime program support technician, Gloria Putnam. Putnam will step down this month after 22 years of service.
"Gloria has long been known for her strong commitment to women's studies, and she has provided it with continuity over the years as the directors changed," Bazin said, noting that Putnam has been "a delightful person to have in the office as a first contact for inquiring students."
Bazin added, "She made sure all women's studies events ran smoothly and enjoyably, which is an art."
While working, Putnam earned both her bachelor's and master's degrees from Old Dominion.

Fans debate whether Ferdinand 'provoked' City fans
Football fans have been sharing their thoughts on Rio Ferdinand's injury on Twitter:
Shocking fans saying Ferdinand deserved the coin to the face wow I guess it's a crime to celebrate a goal
I know its bad what happened to ferdinand but he always provokes the oppositions fans. Its in his nature. Poor attitude since he was a kid.
Not good to see Ferdinand hit by a coin, but sadly it now seems a risk you run if you celebrate & therefore incite your rivals fans.

The L Word's Daniela Sea on Being the New Hot L Girl
(page 4 of 4)
OK, let me uh take you back a little bit. Tell me a little bit about moving to Poland and joining a traveling circus. That sounds like such an un-American experience.
You know it really was, and I'm so glad I did it. Ever since I was little, all I wanted to do was travel. I wanted to find fairy land and I don't know if I exactly found that, but I definitely found magic other worlds. So how did it happen? I was living in San Francisco and I was talking with my brother who was living over in Europe. He was squatting and living in the activist, radical communities there, and we were talking about the circus idea which I'd had for about a year — of traveling by foot or by train and just making music and hopefully finding people who knew how to do circus-y type tricks and performance art. … And so I talked with him and he said, well, you know, I have some friends that I live with right now and … they're really into this idea, and so when I came over we just started traveling like that. We traveled like that for a few years in different formations, and I lived as a half-man, half-woman for a while, like I had this whole outfit that I would wear all the time with half my face as a man and half as a woman.
I had performance pieces around that. We didn't have the same language at that time, because it was some years ago … I didn't identify as transgendered, it wasn't really in the dialogue in the same way, but … my main thing was basically this thing I'd had all my life, which was "Are you a boy or a girl?" Dealing with that in this real external way was really fun. I just I hitchhiked around a lot and lived in a lot of different countries.
I was going to ask you: What did you learn from hitchhiking in Eastern Europe that you utilize in your daily life now?
Hitchhiking in countries with people who didn't grow up under capitalism, and living outside, and staying in villages and being a guest of people taught me a lot about human nature. I think what I've always believed is our natural propensity is to live for each other and to share things and to be … a really good host. Like if I walked up to a group of kids there … I didn't have to say who I was or prove any kind of status to be automatically included in whatever they were eating, whatever they were drinking, whatever they were talking about. It was easy to live communally with people who were brought up that way, because you didn't have the same kinds of ego battles. It was more about what was best for all of us in the moment, and I learned a lot from that.
Now, hitchhiking alone, I learned a lot about trusting people. I luckily didn't have very many bad experiences and nothing too tragic, but I know a lot of my friends have, so I wouldn't say you, "Oh, it's the best thing in the world to do." But for me personally, to just stand on the side of a road and be able to be in a whole other reality within some hours and meet all kinds of people — it just was really freeing. I had no money for years. … It made me have more faith in people and feel like I belonged in the world, actually, and made me feel proud to be part of the world instead of like when I was younger [and was] this rebellious punk rocker who never felt like I belonged anywhere.
And in Kurdistan specifically, the people I stayed with were risking their lives to be able to play the traditional music [and] speak their traditional language, because it's illegal there; you can be imprisoned and tortured and all that stuff. We just started hitchhiking in west Turkey and we wanted to go to Kurdistan, and we ended up in different villages and people would bring us into their home, close all the blinds, you know, set a look-out out front, and then just start playing us this music that they wanted us to hear. They wanted us to hear the music of their people and then go back and tell the world what was happening to them. That taught me a lot about the preciousness of art, and how it's so important for us to speak our truth and our stories. And I think that also related to a lesbian or genderqueer experience … [and for] people who are marginalized.
That really seems to put a lot of things in context, too. You've had all these wonderfully nomadic experiences, living in an abandoned village in Greece, herding goats in Italy, hitchhiking through Turkey, the circus — is it hard to settle down now?
Strangely enough, it's not. Because now I know that nothing is forever, so it's almost like another concept. … I grew up here [in L.A.] in one way, but it's like another country, too. … I don't know, I guess now whenever I am somewhere I know I won't be there for years and years. I might keep my relationships up and I might have some physical presence there in some way. It won't be like when I was younger and I was thinking that I had to figure out where I would be forever. I'm still nomadic; I guess that's what I'm saying. Especially in this acting and filmmaking business — it's pretty nomadic in its own way.
That's true. Another thing I thought was interesting was that you lived in India for eight months? And during that time you actually were passing as a man?
I was, uh huh.
How do you think that that shaped your experience there?
I think it gave me a lot of access. … I didn't consciously say …"I'm going to India as a man." It just kind of morphed into that. I mean, if you're the kind of person who … looks like a boy — I mean all my life people thought I was a boy. … So when I was there, you had to choose, in a way — especially in the traditional areas — if you were going to wear traditional clothes, which when I was in Pakistan we had to. You kind of had to choose really strongly which gender you were going to be. So I actually chose the girls' gender clothing first … and I watched as my girlfriend at the time was in the boys' gender clothing, and the different kind of access she had. … For example, men aren't supposed to catch eye contact with women who are strangers. And I watched how she had this different kind of mobility.
And then as we passed into India, we ended up in the hospital right away and then I think I just slowly morphed. Then I got my haircut 'cause it was already kind of short, and then one day people thought I was a boy, and I just kind of went with that. So I chose clothes actually more close to what I would wear here. And then I just started referring to myself as "he," and slowly it just started morphing into this thing that I was living as a man. I never corrected anyone. I'd done that in other villages too, 'cause especially in rural places — I love spending time with villagers — I feel like it just makes things easier if in a group there's some men and some women. Because then you're safe in a different way, and people can just relax and be your friend instead of trying to make out with you or do something crazy. And also, they could be like, "Hey, let me show you the field we're working," or "Hey, will you help us push this cart," — taking part instead of being coddled.
That makes sense. And you fell in love with another woman while you were there?
I did. I met a woman there in India who I became friends with and fell in love with.
Does she know you as a biological woman?
Yeah, she did. She was lesbian identified, which was intense for there.
Sure, absolutely. Such a different experience.
Strong person. Amazing person.
Your life has been so different … it's sort of like this big free-form narrative about your life in these really broad strokes. And I think that that's so fascinating. I'm wondering, what do you look forward to in the future?
Well that's what I love about a magazine like CURVE, which I read all the time. And I do feel like it's a reflection of our community that we see people's lives maybe as pieces of art. Which is, to be honest, how I've always — before, you know, someone asked me when I first got this L Word job, [if] I never had ambitions before, and I thought that was interesting because I've actually always been really ambitious, but not for things that you could write down as credits, although I tried my best at that bullet-points thing. But what I want — I made an exerted effort all my life to make my life my art. I wasn't even necessarily going to make much that I could leave behind, you know. I'd written some poems and poetry and books and I played in bands. But I had this feeling, which reflected my hippie upbringing, which was that the greatest art is actually all around us everyday, and I wanted to just meld into that and tread lightly. And then I realized that I don't know if [I] really want to tread lightly in that way. I feel like I can make a big impact, maybe, in the world. At least I can just share who I am and could be inspiring to somebody or something, and I see in my future just continuing with that.
I would love to make more films 'cause it's something I really love being part of, and I would love to act in all different kinds of things, and then I would love to keep going to these other pursuits of exploring the world and bringing back the tales that I learned in other places, and mostly just keep being an open-hearted and free person. I believe that we can totally change the world and that social change is all about loving ourselves and our neighbors, and that's why I think one great way to love people is to make your art and to be as big as you can be. You don't have to tread lightly by hiding in this cave of our country. You can still make a big difference by being kind or generous or loving.
That's beautiful.
And that can be your art.
OK, one last question. This article is actually going in our annual sex issue, so tell me something sexy. Tell me something about sex every woman should know.
I think … OK, give me just a minute. [Pauses.] For me, the sexiest kind of woman is a really outspoken, liberated, feminist woman. And that's what I find really sexy: somebody's mind. Not just their mind, but their expression of themselves. That's what I think is sexy. I mean, there are different physical things, but that all depends on the person.
Great. Super. Which probably explains why you fell in love with Bitch. [Laughs.]

According to Fiona Quick, of Minnesota Hockey Journal, Danny Irmen & Robbie Earl have been placed on waivers by the Minnesota Wild. If they clear they will be assigned to the Houston Aeros. We'll look for updated info as it comes.
EDIT: Confirmed by Michael Russo
According to sources, the Wild has placed Danny Irmen and Robbie Earl on waivers. If cleared by 11 am tomorrow, the Wild would be able to send them to the minors. As of now, they haven't been cut because they're practicing in Minnesota. Again, this doesn't necessarily mean Irmen hasn't cracked the Opening Night roster because Wild would have 30 days to send him down. But …
This isn't surprising, considering the extra forwards and how unimpressive Earl had been. Irmen, however, will likely be on the shortlist from Houston with Kalus.

Research interests
Within the Dept. of Psychiatry, Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy, structural and functional MRI techniques (high resolution 3D imaging, MR volumetry, fMRI, functional connectivity, DTI) are combined with neurophysiological methods (MEG, EEG, event-related potentials (ERP), synchronous oscillatory activity, fMRI constrained ERP source analysis), sophisticated neuropsychological assessments and neurogenetic and neurochemical methods in order to study the relationships between genetics, morphology and function of the brain in participants demonstrating cognitive decline. The main areas of clinical research of the Laboratory of Neuroscience include the investigation of dementia, schizophrenia, affective disorders and their precursors.
In close collaboration with the Brain Imaging Center, the Dept. of Neuroradiology, and a number of other institutes, our main research interest is focused on multimodal investigation of neuronal coordination as a basis for cognitive impairment and psychopathological symptoms.
This approach takes advantage of the integration of multiple scientific methods (neurogenetics, neurochemistry, neuroimaging, etc.) being applied to multiple patient groups (e.g. subjects with preclinical Alzheimer's disease, MS patients, schizophrenia and bipolar affective patients). Close collaboration with physicists and mathematicians ensures that always the newest and most advanced analytical methods and statistical procedures are available to be applied to the generated data.
A perfect integration with our memory clinic, which has an astonishing throughput of dementia outpatients and subjects with subjective memory complaints, ensures that the needs of a high number of scientific projects can be easily met.
Our advanced organisational clinical concepts (e.g. the track-concept) also greatly help to keep in touch with subjects and patients over long periods of time, providing the opportunity for unique longitudinal projects.
Moreover, multiple collaborations with international partners and participation in multinational projects and networks makes sure that our lab is always at the forefront of scientific research.
We have also started to investigate whether processes of cognitive decline over time can be positively modulated by cognitive and by physical training and how far mechanisms of neural plasticity are preserved in preclinical Alzheimer`s Disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as well as in other psychiatric disorders such as affective disorders and schizophrenia.
In summary, our lab is based on a high integration of advanced interdisciplinary neuroscientific methods and it benefits greatly from its tight integration within the structures of the clinical department as well as from its successful and widespread international collaborations with leaders academic and industry partners worldwide.

Why So Many Think Prepping is Boring
Editor's note: Has prepping fallen into a rut? Has info on prepping become redundant? Could it be true that many people think prepping is boring? My friend Gerald Franz and I had a conversation about these questions recently. He submitted the following paragraphs which I agreed to publish for your consideration. What do you think? – John
Since prepping or survival is such a vital and potentially life saving subject, why do many consider the whole idea boring? A common complaint is that advice, and even lifestyles, are repetitive in nature. In support of this, when is the last time you have heard a new idea on prepping?
Another complaint is on the specialization or piecemeal angles that are presented. Each expert has a tiny piece of the puzzle. Imagine the skill and effort that many face in combining the specialized knowledge of many different experts. What could be lacking is a whole new way of living.
It has been said that generals always fight the last war–something within their experience–no matter how unrealistic it is today. So, many preppers are preparing to survive the crash of twenty-nine.
Let me suggest a good old American alternative. Learn to live like the Indians did. Pick your tribe. Modern equipment from outdoor suppliers could help. If someone could come up with such a "package deal", I'd buy it.
2 Responses to "Why So Many Think Prepping is Boring"
…I can understand how some might see prepping as boring…it is not immediately rewarding as your burger an' fry's right in front of you almost sooner than you order it,and of course you could pay for it on credit, so no real money is needed, so immediate satisfaction all the way around…..
For myself, at 70 plus years old, prepping is something I have always done, it is a habit born of a youth spent, not poor but certainly not rich, with relatives that had gone through the first depression and were "natural" preppers,and out of respect for their experiences and wisdom I have tried to be the same…AT LEAST you should have some stored water….and a few cans of stuff you like to eat….and some ready cash on hand….

A Police officer was injured Monday afternoon while attempting to arrest a wanted suspect.
It happened at Cedar Market, near Collins Avenue and Main Street around 2:15. Police were called to the market because 27-year-old Yaqin Muhammad, who was wanted by police, was seen at the store. On scene, police confronted Muhammad. Police say he then tried to flee in his friend's Nissan Altima. When he couldn't get around the police vehicles, Muhammad allegedly repeatedly rammed a marked SUV, injuring Patrolman Ed Cressey.
Muhammad was eventually arrested and now faces multiple charges. He is being held on $35,000 bail.

Santa made an early visit near McCook Lake in South Dakota Saturday. It was part of the Adams Homestead and Nature Preserve Christmas Celebration to get people into the holiday spirit. The event also encourages people to step back in time to learn about the history of the region.
Jody Moats, a park naturalist says it's a hidden treasure year round.
"It's actually just a great place to come out and learn about your cultural history and natural history of South Dakota, and also as Mary Adams one of the sisters who donated the land would say it's a great way to find your inner renewal, it's just beautiful," Moats said.
Saturday's event included guided tours, a holiday ornament workshop, and a chance to meet Santa. The event is its 6th year.


text: Realities gallery in Melbourne, opening in 1971 in Ross Street, Toorak, and moving to Jackson Street, Toorak, in 1976, became a magnet for anyone who was part of the cultural life of Australia - artists, curators, writers, film directors, actors, musicians, politicians, collectors and more. All were welcomed, as the exhibitions were lauded, the openings were crowded, the lunches in the garden lasted all day, and the champagne flowed. Every day was an adventure. Marianne Baillieu was the founder and director from 1971 until 1980. Evi Robinson and Rhonda Senbergs joined Marianne in 1976, Evi with her administrative skills, and Rhonda with her ever present camera. This is Rhonda Senberg's photographic record of those latter days from 1976 to 1980 when Marianne sold the gallery and moved on to her studio to devote herself to creating her own art.

(actually, I am not sure what a meme is, but it sounds good....)
Take a couple of moments, and just breathe centering breaths....
And then,
1. Give thanks for something you are looking forward to....
2. Offer a prayer for a colleague whom you know needs prayer
3. Pray for yourself...
4. Pray for someone who really 'bugs' you (like a frenemy)
5. Pray for a place in the world for which you have concern...
6. Offer a blessing
7. Breathe a few more centering/cleansing breathes.....
8. Be silent
9. Listen
10. Be silent
11. Amen

Methylated CpG islands as biomarkers for familial breast cancer
Study Section:
Detection, Diagnosis and Prognosis
Scientific Abstract:
Background: The age of onset of breast cancer is variable in BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers. Surveillance modalities are limited in sensitivity. It is therefore important to develop new biomarkers for breast cancer risk. Methylation markers are potentially useful biomarkers but little is currently known about the methylation profile of familial breast tumors. Hypotheses: 1. Breast tumors from BRCA1, BRCA2 and BRCAx carriers show distinct patterns of cancer-related methylation at CpG Islands (CGIs) ; 2. CGIs, frequently methylated in breast tumors from BRCA1 /2 carriers, can be used in risk assessment using ductal lavage (DL) specimens Aim 1 : Methylation Array analysis in familial breast tumors will be used to identify CGIs methylated in tumors vs normal breast cells. Aim 2 : Selection of CGIs in which methylation is associated with reduced transcription of the nearby gene, and validation by bisulphite SNaPshot analysis. Aim 3 : Bisulphite SNaPshot analysis of validated, methylated CGIs in normal breast (from women of different ages) to identify cancer-related, as opposed to age-related, methylation events as novel biomarkers for breast cancer. Aim 4 : DL can be used to obtain cells to enable the prospective analysis of CGIs, frequently methylated in breast tumors from BRCA1/2 carriers, as a means of risk assessment. Study Design We will use DNA from familial breast tumors, with DNA from normal breasts as a reference, in order to identify frequently methylated CGIs. We will use pattern recognition tools to determine which CGIs are specifically methylated BRCA1, BRCA2 and BRCAx tumors. We will chose the 20 CGIs that are most frequently methylated in BRCA1, BRCA2 and BRCAx tumors, and associated with down-regulation, for validation by bisulphite SNaPshot analysis. Validated, methylated CGIs will then be evaluated in normal breast samples from women of different ages to identify cancer-related methylation. W e will then use these potential biomarkers in our serially-collected DL samples to determine whether there is a relationship between a pattern of CpG methylation and the development of breast cancer and/or cytological atypia . Potential outcomes and benefits If we develop new biomarkers for breast cancer risk in carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, we will be able to add these to the current surveillance approaches used in order to identify small, and potentially treatable, tumors.
Lay Abstract:
Background: Not all BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers develop cancer and the age of onset is variable. Current screening methods are limited in sensitivity. It is therefore important to develop new ways of finding out which high-risk women are most likely to develop breast cancer. A potentially useful way of doing this would be to find methylation 'signals' in breast tumour DNA that might be present in breast cells collected from the ducts before any tumor can be detected by other means. Hypothesis: Breast tumors from carriers show distinct patterns of methylation that can be used in risk assessment using ductal lavage specimens collected from the breast of unaffected, but high-risk women. Aim: To identify novel methylation markers for women with familial breast cancer, and test them on ductal lavage samples to see whether their presence predicts the development of breast cancer. Study Design: We will identify methylation 'signals' in frozen tumors from carrier women and then use these potential biomarkers in our serially-collected ductal lavage samples from unaffected, high-risk women. Results will be analyzed to determine whether there is a relationship between a pattern of methylation signals and the development of breast cancer and/or abnormal cells from the breast. Potential outcomes and benefits If we develop new biomarkers for breast cancer risk in carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, we will be able to add these to the current approaches used in order to identify small, and potentially treatable, tumors.

They're often called 'the greatest class of yachts ever created', and this week a fleet of rare J Class yachts is going head to head in a regatta in Falmouth.
The enormous 140 foot yachts were originally designed in the 1930's for the America's Cup. It's the first time they've raced in Cornwall for over 75 years.

Fatigue Performance of Fluidized Bed Heat Treated Castings
Research Team:
Sujoy Krishna Chaudhury and Diran Apelian
A typical heat treatment regimen for a typical aluminum cast alloy is comprised of a solutionizing step, followed by quenching in water and an aging step. Together, these three steps may last for over ten hours and contribute a substantial increment to the part's manufacturing cost. Fluidized beds offer a more efficient means of energy transfer than conventional heat treatment methods that rely solely on convection, and thus they present an attractive alternative to traditional heat treatment. Fluidized beds achieve very rapid heat treatment for three main reasons:
- Each component enters individually into the fluidized bed medium rather than stacked among many in a basket. This allows each component to experience the maximum heat transfer rate and a precise thermal profile that is identical to that of the other parts.
- Fluidized bed heat transfer rate is superior to that of traditional hot air heat transfer.
- Fluidized beds hold a precise, even temperature throughout the heating medium, which ensures that all aspects of a component are quickly and uniformly heated, thus reducing component distortion and residual stress.
This project is focused on to the study of fatigue behavior, residual stress, and part distortion of heat treated Al castings using fluidized beds. In addition, we aimed to engineer cast A356 alloy to reduce its quench sensitivity. The project had three primary objectives:
- Study the effect of fluidized bed (FB) heat treatment on fatigue performance of 319 alloy diesel heads.
- Explore the potential benefit of quenching using FB to minimize residual stress, and distortion of Al castings.
- Tailor composition of A356 alloy to decrease its quench sensitivity.
Project Overview
The aim of this project was to study the effect of FB quenching subsequent to solution heat treatment on properties such as fatigue life, residual stress/distortion. For comparison purposes, castings were quenched in water. The focus of the project was to improve the fatigue performance of Al castings through proper heat treatment using FB. Strategies followed during the project were:
- Carry out a critical literature review; Focus on fatigue performance of Al alloys
- Phase I: Fatigue analysis of FB heat treated 319 Al alloy diesel heads.
- Phase II: Residual stress and distortion analysis of Al castings heat treated using various quenchants, namely FB, water, and polymer based quenchants.
- Phase III: Reduce quench sensitivity of A356 alloy (Jominy Quench Test).
This project commenced in May 2005 and ended in April, 2007; the project was funded by the ACRC consortium members.
This project was divided into three phases:
Phase I - Effect of FB heat treatment on fatigue performance of Al castings
- Critical literature review on fatigue performance of Al alloys.
- Procurement of 319 alloy castings
- Heat treatment of 319 alloy using FB
- Fatigue testing
- Weibull analysis
- Mircrostructural and fractographic analysis
- Analysis and synthesis of results
Phase II - Effect of FB quenching on residual stress and distortion
- Residual stress tests on Al cast alloys (A356.2, and 319)
- Distortion measurements on Al cast alloys (A356.2)
Phase III - Effect of alloying elements such as Cu, Mg, Cr etc. on quench sensitivity of A356 alloy
- Casting of tailored A356 alloy Jominy bars
- Heat treatments: solutionizing (conventional furnace (CF)), Jominy quench test, aging (conventional furnace)
- Hardness measurement
- Quench factor analysis
Outcome / Impact
Phase I
- Fatigue strength of the 319 alloy treated to T6 temper is greater than those treated to T5 temper.
- At high stress level (above 90 MPa), samples treated to T6 condition shows the highest fatigue life as compared to T7 and T5.
- Duration of solution heat treatment (2 hours vs. 8 hours) has no significant effect on fatigue strength when the 319 alloy was aged at 250°C (i.e. T7). However, the fatigue strength of samples aged at 230°C (i.e. T6) is greater when the 319 alloy was solutionized for longer duration (i.e. 8 hours) as compared to shorter duration (2 hours).
- Weibull modulus (m) of T6 temper is greater than T7 and T5 temper. This implies that castings are more reliable when treated to T6 temper as compared to T7 and T5 tempers.
- The type of heat treatment (i.e. T5, T6 or T7) had no significant effect on characteristic fatigue life.
- Fracture surfaces of all samples tested at R=-1 showed three distinct regions: (I) crack initiation region at the surface or near to the surface, (II) crack propagation region (intermediate region), and (III) catastrophic/monotonic failure region. In most cases, multiple cracks were observed. In addition, only in few cases, cracks initiated either from inclusion/oxide particles or pre-existing pores present at or near to the surface. However, not all pre-existing pores proved to be detrimental. In some cases, cracks did not initiate from pre-existing defects such as oxides, pores etc. Defects such as pores and inclusions are detrimental only when they are present at or near to the surface.
- The monotonic failure region of T5 tempered 319 alloy exhibited greater faceted dimples. On contrary, in T6 and T7 tempered 319 alloy, dimples have reduced curvature. This indicates that 319 alloy treated to T5 temper undergoes lower degree of plasticity prior to fatigue failure as compared to those treated to T6 and T7 tempers.
Phase II
- The lower temperature gradients observed in the fluidized bed quenched plates resulted in significantly lower residual stresses as compared to the water quenched plates. The fluidized bed quenched plates exhibited stresses that were nearly 70% lower than stresses measured in the plates quenched in water at 21°C (70°F). Residual stresses measured in the fluidized bed quenched plates ranged from 10 to 20 MPa (1.5 to 2.9 ksi) regardless of orientation.
- Distortion was also decreased in the fluidized bed quenched plates. Plates oriented vertically exhibited minimal to no distortion. Plates oriented horizontally measured a distortion of 0.8 mm (0.031 in), which was still around a 40% reduction in distortion as compared to the water quenched plates.
Phase III
- Quench sensitivity of Al-Si-Mg cast alloys increases with increasing Mg content. The maximum quench factor (t) value of Al-Si-0.57Mg alloy is 145, which is significantly higher as compared to Al-Si-0.35Mg (t = 38) and Al-Si-0.45Mg (t = 35) alloys.
- Addition of 0.8wt% of Cu to A356 significantly lowers its quench sensitivity. The maximum quench factor value of Al-Si-0.45Mg-0.8Cu alloy is 16, which is the least value among all other alloys.
- The precipitation rate of Mg2Si particles in A356 alloy decreases with decreasing quench rate. On contrary, the precipitation rate of Al5Cu2Mg8Si6 in Al-Si-Mg-Cu alloy is relatively less dependent on quench rate.
- Simulation results showed that the addition of Cu in excess of 0.57 wt% to Al-Si-Mg alloy forms GP zones; These GP zones are heterogeneous sites for nucleation of precipitates and reduce the quench sensitivity of the alloy.
In addition, some fundamental studies on localized recrystallization in cast A356 alloy were carried out using dilatometer and calorimeter. A summary of key points are given below:
- Due to rapid heating in FB (Fluidized Bed), dislocations were generated at the Si/Al interface; whereas in CF (Conventional Furnace) with relatively slow heating rate, no dislocations were observed at the eutectic Si/Al interface.
- Recrystallization occured during the temperature ramp-up stage of solution heat treatment in cast A356 alloy. The evaluated value of activation energy of recrystallization in cast A356 alloy is 127 KJ/mol.
- Recrystallization in cast Al-Si alloys is a localized phenomenon and occurs in the vicinity of eutectic Si particles. This is in contrast to recrystallization in wrought alloys where recrystallized grains evolve throughout the matrix. The difference between recrystallization behavior in cast and wrought alloys is due to their differences in driving force for recrystallization. In the case of cast Al-Si alloy, the driving force for recrystallization is due to thermal mismatch between Al and Si, which is in-situ (i.e. generated during thermal cycle); whereas in the case of wrought Al alloys the stored mechanical energy is the driving force for recrystallization, which is ex situ (i.e. generated during cold working prior to thermal treatment).
- Both dilatometry and DSC tests show that recrystallization temperature increases with increasing heating rate. This is in contrast to thermal analysis conducted by temperature measurements. This anomaly is however less clearly understood and further investigation is needed to explain the observed result.
- Creep occurred in A356 alloy when the sample was heated slowly at a rate of 4.3 oC/min. However, samples heated at higher heating rates (520, 130 and 17.3 oC/min) did not result in permanent deformation due to creep.

Views: 895
An ammonia leak at the Marpesca processing plant located in Corozal, Ancon, triggered the Fire Department of Panama (CBP) at 5:11 am yesterday. Reports from the say the incident was overcome with a ventilation system, whereby the gas is extracted by a plastic tube and then was disabled with an air extractor. The incident was treated and controlled by Elvis Cordova and five CBP officers from the Balboa Station. There were no injured people, nor the environment, said the fire department. Roger Gonzalez, Marpesca company spokesman, said that the leak was caused by the failure of a value on a small ammonia re-circulation tank. "Ammonia is a strong gas, as soon as it got outside of the plant, its odor spreads," he said. Gonzalez said the company applied the security controls and recommendations made by the Fire Department.

Rapid City Police Officer Nick Armstrong, 27, died Sunday at Rapid City Regional Hospital as a result of his injuries from an August 2 shooting.
Officer Armstrong was a two-year veteran of the RCPD, and was born and raised in Rapid City.
Nick served as a police officer with the Spearfish Police Department for two years, before joining the RCPD in July 2009. He had been serving on the Street Crimes Unit since April of this year. He was patrolling on a bicycle when he was shot.
Officer Armstrong came from a family that was highly dedicated to serving the public; his father, Bill Armstrong, is a retired Captain with the Pennington County Sheriff's Office, and one of his brothers is a firefighter.
Police Chief Steve Allender recently honored Nick with the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart medals for his heroic actions in the line of duty. Sunday, Nick became a hero again, giving new life to many through the gift of organ donation.
Funeral arrangements for Officer Armstrong will be released at a later date.
Three Rapid City police officers were shot during a routine stop on the afternoon of August 2.
Officer Ryan McCandless, 28, died later that day. Officer Tim Doyle was shot in the face, and is currently recovering from his injuries.
A memorial fund has been set up at Black Hills Federal Credit Union to support the officers and their families. Donations can be dropped off at any BHFCU location, or mailed to: RCPD Fallen Officers Memorial Fund, BHFCU, PO Box 1420, Rapid City SD 57709.

Great teacher!
Mat 135
I love Arben!! Very helpful. Gives you a chance to correct your tests for partial credit. Take advantage of office hours with him and you'll do well. He is funny and easy on the eyes as well
Math 115
Tnere is a difference between being smart& being a teacher. This guy knows his math but can not teach to save his life. trust me when I say if math is not you strong subject, then you will regret taking it with this guy.
Math 115
WARNING. Unless you are extremely good with math or you are a math major, then I would not take this class with this professor. He goes by the materials very quickly and assumes the class understands, He does not explains step by step to how he arrived at the answer, and even if you know the material the exams and quizzes are still very hard.
Nice guy and he allows you to fix tests for partial credit, but you have to teach yourself the material. He moves very quickly, makes a lot of mistakes while lecturing, has terrible writing so very hard to take notes. Does not provide any resources. Tests are hard even when you know the material. I would not take this class again.
If you want a professor who cares about you and will work with you, take him! Nothing was ever a problem in his class because at the end of the day, he just wanted his students to learn the material.
Good guy, not an easy class, gives you opportunities to correct problems on tests to receive partial credit, he really cares about making sure his students learn the material.
Really nice teacher, but a really hard class. Hard to understand his lectures sometimes. Tests are take-home or open-book.
Arben is without a doubt a reasonable and nice guy. However, I had some trouble understanding him. His methods of teaching just weren't too clear. He never gave notes. He would do problems on the board but it's always helpful when professors give steps and notes you can look back on, and he did not do this.
He is great.Mr.Arben balances the class between those of us who get it and those don't, so we don't get bored and they don't fall behind. Unlike some teachers he gives us extra work to improve our grade as well as helping us to better understand the subject.
Good teaching math,for me arben in future will be good proffessor.I hope,
Arben make me happy.
I like how he play with Math.
Arben is hard to understand but very fair. He was willing whenever to help you out with anything. No homework ever and asks the class what kind of test we would like. We pushed back so many of them it wasn't even funny. Good hearted guy but I'm not sure he stuck around CCSU. I think he teaches at Uhart right now but will be back. I'd take him again

My Personal Weight Loss Journal: Feb. 7th- 14th, 2009
Four weeks into this newfound healthy lifestyle change and I've lost a total of 9 pounds (so far). There's one more week left in my gym's Biggest Loser contest. I'm not sure I have a chance as some of the others have lost big poundage here and there. We'll see. The winner is determined by a combination of % of weight lost as well as inches lost too. We'll get measured and weighed next Sat. for the final day. Exercise is truly the highlight of my day. I feel so cruddy when I don't get in a good dose of it, and as much as I can think of a million other things I could be doing… it remains a priority. It's like a natural energy boost that no drug or food could ever give me.
Exciting body changes this week… I can easily fit into those French jeans that I mentioned wanting to wear back on Day 10. I can fit into many things that haven't seen light of day for ages. My jackets even fit more comfortably. I'm terribly excited that my stomach can almost be called 'flat.' I've been told that my face has thinned out.
This final week of the 'contest,' I plan to kick up the exercise even more than I've been doing. I might try to squeeze in an extra workout or two- just because… you know… I intend to try and win this thing! I went to RoadRunner Sports today and got 'fitted' for new running shoes. It's cool what they do… have you run on a treadmill and videotape how your feet move when you run, etc. And they have a 60- day return policy on shoes that you've worn. Can't really beat that, can you?
As usual, I'll be updating this post only during the week with my personal weight loss notes. You can read more about my original plan for my healthy eating venture HERE.
Day 27
Food/Exercise for Sunday, Feb. 8, 2009
breakfast: Kashi Puff cereal w/ skim milk

dinner: Orange Roughy cooked in cooking spray and topped w/ dab of butter, lemon, dill, capers + salad
dessert: no-sugar-added tapioca pudding
Another busy day… I was really hungry by lunchtime so I had the sandwich + the yogurt. That did the trick. I also sipped on a few cups of tea today. Dinner was great- to me there's nothing better than a really nice piece of fresh fish, simply prepared, and salad is a must!
I tried out my new running shoes with an afternoon workout. Sunday is supposed to be a day-off from exercise, but I had the time and couldn't resist. I just did a short run, and the shoes felt great.
Day 28:
Food/Exercise for Monday, Feb. 9th, 2009
breakfast: Kashi Puff cereal with skim milk
snack: nonfat yogurt with Kashi crunch cereal

snack: dill pickle
dinner: low fat bean & cheese burrito and an apple
dessert: no-sugar-added tapioca pudding
Food/Exercise for Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2009
Food hasn't been much of an issue the last couple of days. I'm a little more hungry for carbs w/ all of the running I've been doing, and I feel like I need to focus on incorporating more veggies and fruits into my day. I made a huge batch of brownies today and didn't consume even a sliver to taste. I've made the same brownies many times before and just didn't feel the need to consume them. Pretty good willpower, eh?
I mentioned above that I had planned to kick-up the exercise this week since it's the final few days before the final weigh-in. The running has been great. I can't believe I can run three miles without stopping for a rest. I'm not really running… more like jogging (at 5.2 mph on the treadmill). But even still… I feel really great about it. I actually feel like I could run longer, but I don't want to push myself too much and get injured or something. Once the contest is over, I'll transition to alternating days doing cardio and strength exercises.
Day 30:
Food/Exercise for Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
breakfast: Kashi cereal with skim milk
stationary bicycle (20 minutes), strength/abs (20 minutes)
snack: nonfat yogurt w/ Kashi crunch cereal
lunch: turkey sandwich (2 slice whole grain bread, turkey, low fat swiss, dijon, tomato)
snack: Lara Bar
dinner: big salad with chicken
dessert: no-sugar-added tapioca
Day 31:
Food/Exercise Thursday, February 12th, 2009
breakfast: Kashi puff cereal w/ skim milk
stationary bicycle (30 minutes), strength/abs (15 minutes)
snack: nonfat yogurt with Kashi crunch cereal
lunch: turkey sandwich
snack: apple
dinner: steamed veggies with a handful of whole wheat tortellini & shaved Parmesan
dessert: no-sugar-added tapioca pudding
Day 32:
Food/Exercise for Friday, February 13th, 2009
breakfast: Kashi puff cereal w/ skim milk
elliptical machine (50 minutes), strength/abs (20 minutes)
snack: nonfat yogurt w/ Kashi crunch cereal
lunch: turkey, low fat swiss, tomato, lettuce & dijon in a pumpernickel tortilla wrap
dinner: roasted chicken & sauteed cabbage
dessert: no-sugar-added tapioca pudding
I'm still sticking w/ my same morning foods. They're filling, and I enjoy them… so why change it up? The Tortilla Factory wraps are awesome. I found them w/ the regular tortillas in my regular grocery store (only 90 calories and lots of fiber). I survived pure torture this week with the preparation of numerous Valentine goodies… didn't eat a single bite and I don't feel deprived.
My exercise routine has been a bit hampered by an ankle injury. It's rather sore in the back of my ankle when I take a step and extend onto my toes, which makes running impossible until it feels better. I've been ok with doing non-impact exercise like the stationary bike and the elliptical machine (thank goodness!) I miss running though… it's amazing how addicting it becomes. I just hope I haven't injured the ankle too much so that running won't be possible. That would bum me out.
Saturday AM is the big finale of my Biggest Loser contest! We'll see how it goes. The scale has been rather stagnant this week so I'm not quite sure how much of a loss (if any) I'll have this week. Will be back on Sat. with the big news!

I just came across a new typing game that approaches the challenge a little differently. The idea is that you are in a car chase and you need to type in the directions to your driver. It becomes a little bit like those choose-your-own-adventure books as you have 4 choices for lines at any given time and the story goes to different places depending on which line you type. Certainly not a game for everyone, but worth checking out if you are looking for something a little different.
