Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system, in which the body's own immune system attacks myelin, the fatty substance that surrounds and protects nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord and eyes. Damage to myelin creates scar tissue (sclerosis), which interferes with the way nerve signals are transmitted.
Depending on where the damage occurs, symptoms can vary widely and may range from mild to severe.
The types of symptoms, their severity and how the disease progresses can differ greatly from one person to another. Symptoms may include extreme fatigue, tingling, numbness, weakness, difficulty walking, poor coordination, impaired vision, slurred speech, tremors, stiffness and bladder problems. Severe MS may cause blindness, paralysis and confusion.
"Unlike other diseases, MS varies widely in terms of symptoms, aggressiveness, response to treatment and disease burden. This makes treating the disease particularly challenging and underscores the importance of personalized care," says Timothy West, MD, Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Program at the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Unlike most other neurological diseases that affect older people, MS tends to be diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50. Of the more than 400,000 people in the United States with MS, two-thirds to three-fourths are women. MS is not a fatal disease, but it can be disabling.
There are four types of MS:
About 85 percent of patients have this type of MS, which causes disease flares (relapses) followed by periods of partial or total recovery (remission). The majority of approved medications slow (modify) this type of MS.
Approximately 10 percent of patients have this form of MS, which slowly worsens over time. Although the disease may occasionally plateau, remissions do not occur. There are no effective medications for this type of MS, but new medications are being tested in clinical trials.
Some patients with relapsing-remitting MS eventually stop having remissions, and their disease begins to grow steadily worse. New MS medications may prevent this from occurring in many patients.
The small number of patients with this form of MS experience a steady worsening of their disease, punctuated by relapses. Unlike relapsing-remitting MS, their condition continues to decline between relapses.
The Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas, Nevada and the Mellen Center, Cleveland Ohio provide comprehensive care for patients with all four types of MS. For more information about MS, please visit clevelandclinic.org/Mellen.

SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn and other city leaders called a news conference Tuesday to announce a gun safety program.
It would buy guns back from owners to reduce the number of firearms in the community.
The buyback program would be sponsored by local businesses, including online retailer Amazon.

"Looking at his 2008 minor league totals, Cashman noted that Igawa's QERA or QuikERA — a statistic that estimates what a pitcher's E.R.A. should be based on his strikeout rate, walk rate and ground ball-to-fly ball ratio — was 4.52."
Tom Tango answers questions at BP. Here's a snippet: 1) What sabermetric advancement do you think is the least-appreciated by a majority of franchises? 2) I like to flatter myself that I'm an 'early adopter' to the sabermetric perspective on the game, even though it's been so many years since its introduction and uptake by those like yourself. Is sabermetrics already 'mainstream' in your mind, or how long do you think it will be til it is? 3) What was / will be the tipping point to #2? 1. Regression toward the mean. 2. Sabermetrics will always be on the leading edge. There's no need for it to be in the mainstream. If the mainstream wants to adopt, they know where to find us. If they want to ignore us, they can. We're there to make sure they don't misuse numbers, that's all. 3. I hope it never happens, actually. You look over to your left and right to make sure that whoever wants to be part of the movement has the tools and knowledge to join in. There's no sense in looking over your shoulder to make sure everyone comes along. They aren't in a burning building they are trying to escape. They are on the beach, and they can decide if they want to come surfing with us or not. But I don't need them to tell me that I'm drowning people with numbers. We're giving out surfboards, and they can decide if they want one. And then we'll be happy to make sure they don't drown.
"One of the key tenets of the new baseball thinking, which I will refer to as "sabermetrics" for the sake of ease, is that teams should try to find market inefficiencies and exploit them to gain an advantage over their opponents. But this concept has not yet trickled down to the managerial ranks in any significant way. I contend that there are significant advantages to be had by MLB teams by having their managers act more "sabermetrically". And I am quite curious as to why general managers have not pushed their managers in this direction. I would argue that they should." Required reading for fans and managers alike.
PITCHf/x heat maps are awesome, but it's very easy to misinterpret them and make oneself look like a fool. Steve Slowinski breaks it down for us.
From the article: Mets GM Omar Minaya poses ideas to him, often via email, and Baumer will run the numbers to see if they're true. He said he's one of 8 or 10 people who can offer their two cents when a decision is being made, such as a trade or in free agency (though he doesn't do much work with the Draft).
• Mike Silva Chronicles - Part 1: UZR "… I rightfully accused Mike Silva of farting his opinion on sabermetrics. He made his summary opinions without evidence, or in other words, bullsh!t. I called him out to ask questions and gather evidence, before having an opinion. He said he'd send me questions, and he did. Ten of them. " [sic] "… this will be the first thread in a series of ten." • Mike Silva Chronicles - Part 2: WAR • Mike Silva Chronicles - Part 3: WAR and finances • Mike Silva Chronicles - Part 4: FIP • Mike Silva Chronicles - Part 5: Stat saturation via THE BOOK -- Playing The Percentages In Baseball
Per Maury Brown: While there has been a sense that sabermetrics is now part of MLB, some are using it only sparingly, while two clubs have yet to get on-board with the objective analysis world, at all. The Mets employ some sort of analytical group so it's not them. Any guesses?
Next stop, Encyclopedia Britannica. (via Beyond the Boxscore)
For those that don't know what PTLW are: they essentially tell you the quality of a particular pitcher's pitch in terms of runs, i.e. Zack Greinke's slider has been +5.9 runs better than the average slider and his fastball has been +14.5(!). For comparison, Livan Hernandez's fastball has been 8.3 runs worse than the average fastball. For more on PTLW, check out this THT article. I can't believe this site is still free to use. Amazing.

Team Leader III Interview (Positive Experience; Very Difficult Interview)
I applied online and the process took 8 months - interviewed at Raytheon in November 2009.
Interview Details It took approximately 8 to 9 moths before I was even called for an interview. I frequented the company website and posted my resume for as many jobs as I though I was qualified for often. I even took the initiative to contact HR and express my displeasure (respectfully) as to why I had not received a call when I knew I was qualified for the positions. It took a while but I finally got a call. I received a call for a phone screening with a recruiter and then was scheduled to come in for an interview. It was definitely a commute for the interview as I was living in Waterbury CT. at the time. It was an exciting experience as I am always looking for a challenge and I never thought I would be doing or have the chance to work for a company like Raytheon on a managerial level. It was a lengthy interview process in which I had to meet with at least 5 different department hiring managers along with about 5 to 6 other potential candidates. The experience and impression I received from most of the interviewers was fair. The interviewer I wound up working for was intense however and aggressive (but respectfully so) during the interview process and asked very probing questions.
Interview Question – The most difficult question asked was "what is your greatest perceived weakness or what would you like to improve the most?". View Answer
Negotiation Details – Unfortunately I did not negotiate anything. I believe I was a bit too anxious and did not work through the process as effectively as I should have. This could have been part of why I was not as satisfied with the overall experience.

Duke Students Make Controversial Chant
The Cameron Crazies have had a lot of great moments over the years. Thursday night against NC State might have been one of its lowest, depending on who you ask.
The most famous student section in America is being accused of chanting "How's your grandma?" at Wolfpack guard Tyler Lewis, whose grandmother recently passed away. The incident came in the second half when Lewis was shooting free throws for NC State. If you listen to the video below, it's clear that the majority of the student section was chanting "Past your bedtime" because Lewis looks so young.
But several people in attendance and Lewis' dad, some Dookies were making the former chant. That obviously didn't go over well with NC State players such as big man Richard Howell, who tweeted the following afterward:

ANDERSON, Ind. — "Tin roof, rusted."
Those may be the most memorable three words Cindy Wilson ever shouted as a member of The B-52s.
They come near the end of "Love Shack," the wedding party staple that was the first million seller for the Athens, Ga., New Wave band.
In the song, the band is driving a Chrysler "as big as a whale" down the "Atlanta highway" to a rustic party cabin. The group bangs on the door. There's no immediate answer and lead singer Fred Schneider yells, "You're what?"
Wilson yells back, "Tin roof, rusted."
Those three words apparently have more than three meanings.
In an telephone interview this week with The Herald Bulletin, Wilson offered, "People love to take words from a song and interpret it. You get the funniest things.
"We've heard people came up with legendary meanings for it like it was a meaning of a pregnant girl or a drug addict. All this kind of stuff. It was like, oh, my god," she said.
"Basically when we were writing the song, we'd jam and come up with lyrics and melodies and harmonies. We'd jam for days and record everything ...
"In one of the jams, the music just stopped and I kept singing, 'Tin roof rusted.' It was so right and yet so funny and hilarious so we left it in."
The B-52s will be in concert with The Go-Go's at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino at 8 p.m. on Saturday, June 29. Tickets are still available for the outdoor show.
Earlier this month, The B-52s was forced to cancel shows due to Wilson falling ill.
"It's one of those things that happened. We never do that. I just couldn't perform. It's something we hate to do," she said.

MiniCards are little cards - about half the size of a normal business card - with your photos or design on one side and your contact details on the other.
Every card in a pack can have a different image on one side, so you can order a 100 pack and have 100 unique cards.
They're great for using as mini calling cards, but people use them for lots of other things too, like swing tags for the things they sell, gift vouchers, promotional cards, event tickets, mini invitations and announcements. You can see some of the different ways people are using MiniCards in our ideas and inspiration section.
The exact dimensions are:
(That's about half the size of a standard business card.)
Yes - and at no extra cost.
MiniCards have a variable side (where your photos or design goes) and a details side (where you put your text). The details side can be made using our templates, or you can upload a custom design of your own.
If you choose a MOO template, there's also an option to upload a logo, a small photo, or an icon. Don't worry if you don't have any of these - we've got some you can choose from.
MiniCards are available with a range of papers and finishes, including our renowned Matte Laminate and revolutionary Luxe paper. Read more here.
Please see the Cost & Discounts FAQ for up to date pricing information.
Yes. You can get a free Sample Pack which features all of our products, including MiniCards
If you fancy something a little different, our Rounded Corner option may be just the ticket. Produced using a die-cutting technique, to ensure the best possible quality, we're pretty proud of them. The corners have a 3mm radius and are available on both our Matte and Gloss finish Classic stock.
At the moment, we just can't make the quality good enough on Luxe. We're continuing to try and get things to a level where we can start selling them. Keep an eye on the blog for updates.
Prices start at an additional £2.50 (excl VAT) or $4 for 100 cards
Sorry, no. We've had to remove this feature for now.
Yes, they do. We take a lot of pride in our packaging, and our MiniCard boxes are really nice.
Yes we sell White Label MiniCard and Business Card Packaging. See White Label Packaging for more information.
In each box of Classic MiniCards you'll find two 'divider' cards, one saying 'Mine' and the other 'Theirs'. Use these to keep your own cards separate from the ones you collect. Luxe MiniCards do not have these, but we're pretty sure you'll like what we've done with them
Good question. It's something we're considering at the moment so keep an eye on the blog and the newsletter - if we do start supplying this option, you'll be the first to know.
If you have a question about your order or they have arrived with problems, please contact our customer service team for help.

Waco Independent School District and the Waco Transit System have teamed up to help get students to school. The school district hopes this partnership will help boost school attendance and solve transportation issues that some students face.
All Waco ISD middle and high school students have been offered free transportation to anyschool-related destination. David Ellis, Supervisor of the Waco ISD Attendance, Truancy, and Dropout Recovery & Prevention Program, said the program has already logged several hundred student rides so far.
"We are thinking out of the box about ways we can improve attendance at Waco ISD," Ellis said."If students miss the bus or their family has car problems, many end up stayingat home, and thus, miss valuable instruction time."
The free bus ride is only valid for school related activities such as riding to and from school or school-related destinations during the school day. If the program is successful, they plan on implementing the program next school year.
The pilot program began at the beginning of May and will run through June 6.

Intel Propels Chip Stocks
A slew of chip stocks stretched to new 52-week highs Friday, after an analyst boosted his rating on Intel (INTC) and predicted that the PC microprocessor market is set to undergo a significant transformation.
Goldman Sachs analyst James Covello upgraded Intel from neutral to buy on Friday, slapping a $28 price target on the stock.
According to Covello, microprocessor rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is planning to outsource most, if not all, of its chip manufacturing next year.
The move, wrote Covello, would benefit Intel more than AMD, because the transition to using contract manufacturers could cause AMD to lose its technological edge.What's more, AMD's switch to a fabless model would fundamentally change the dynamics of the microprocessor market, Covello said. "We believe that being the only dedicated capital spender in the [microprocessor] market would allow Intel to control future excess capacity more efficiently than in previous downturns, when both Intel and AMD felt the pressure to continue to ramp capacity in order to remain ahead of one another," Covello said. For the PC microprocessor market, which has been plagued for months by excess inventory and aggressive price cuts by both Intel and AMD, such a shift would be good news. The theory about AMD's manufacturing plans, which Covello said was based on discussions he had with companies during a recent trip to Asia, sent Intel shares up roughly 3.3% in midday trading to a new 52-week high of $24.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A Knoxville resident was sent to the hospital Tuesday night after three armed men forced their way into the victim's home.
The home invasion happened around 9:15 p.m. on the 2700 block of Barton Street, near Washington Pike and Fairview.
Knoxville police say three males first knocked on the door, and when the homeowner Jason Spiller's daughter answered, they pushed their way into the house and demanded money.
One suspect struck Spiller, 38, on the top of the head, cutting him.
He gave the suspects money. One then shot at the house as they fled the house.
Police say the suspects were driving a white sports utility vehicle.
The three suspects are described as black males in dark clothing. Two were wearing ski masks and carried semi-automatic pistols. The third suspect is described as having a medium build.
Spiller was transported to Physicians Regional Hospital. His injuries were not thought to be life threatening injuries.

The pastor of a Georgia church says Boy Scouts who are being kicked out of congregations over policies on gay scouts are welcome to meet in her church if they need a place.
Rev. Stephanie Seigh says she decided to invite troops to meet at One World Spiritual Center in Marietta after Roswell Street Baptist Church announced that it would end its nearly 70-year affiliation with Boy Scout troop 204.
The two churches are about 10 miles apart, northwest of Atlanta.

To Mr. Ganucheau
Yesterday, an article that you wrote for the Daily Mississippian quickly caught fire and rocketed Ole Miss onto the front page of national media. Unfortunately, it wasn't for academic achievement or university progress, it was for accusation of gay slurs being shouted at an actor during the performance of "The Laramie Project" on Wednesday night in Meek Auditorium. Those accusations, according to the headline of your original article, specifically call out "football players," thus sweeping the story not only through news media, but sports media as well. In this Twitter-fied world that we live in, a rush to judgment almost seems an appropriate thing to do. After all, the accusation is absolutely deplorable. To be physically, verbally, emotionally, or mentally abusive toward someone simply because of their sexual orientation in any manner is the very definition of "deplorable." If such a disgusting display of ignorance and hate were committed by any student on this campus, I believe a safe assumption could be made that the overwhelming majority of the Rebel family would stand, in unity, to condemn it.
An accusation of homophobia, racism, sexism, or any other kind of social ignorance carries with it an immense amount of negativity. This is understandable, and a very good argument can, and should, be made that such a wave of negativity is deserved, provided that the accusation is true. Given this reality, if it is found that the accusation is untrue, or incomplete, the point is unfortunately moot; the damage has already been done.
The article that you wrote has caused irrevocable damage to the brand of Ole Miss. Please allow me to stress once more that if the accusations levied within your article are the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, that damage is well deserved and we have much work to do as a family in socially progressing. However, if the accusations are untrue, or unfairly exaggerated, or incomplete, that brand was unnecessarily damaged.
I hope that, as a student journalist, you share the same passion I do for uncovering facts without relying on supposition, particularly for an accusation that carries the weight that homophobia does. Therefore, I trust that you will not scoff at a request for clarification on several issues that you raise within your article, given the astonishing pace at which the article was written. After all, we, as a family, want to know every single detail to this incident so that an appropriate response can be mustered. I am not a member of a media outlet. Thus, I am not privileged to the inside information that media members are. But for your review, I have enclosed several bullet points that contain questions and thoughts surrounding your now nationally-known article:
- There is an idea floating around the internet that your primary source, Rory Ledbetter, was not in attendance on this particular night of the play. I do not know whether or not this is the case. I would make the assumption that the main source of your article would not be someone who was not physically present the night of the incident, thus I will assume that this rumor is untrue. Nevertheless, I wanted to give you the opportunity to confirm that Ledbetter was actually present.
- In your article, Ledbetter is quoted as saying "audience members" were disrespectful during the play. He is later quoted as saying, "the majority of the audience" was being disrespectful. Exactly what proportion of the audience was being disrespectful, and why were football players specifically singled out?
- Ledbetter is quoted as saying "audience members" used "borderline hate speech." In the same paragraph, he alleges "some audience members" used the word "f*g." I believe we can all confirm, as a society, that the word "f*g" is hate speech, not "borderline" hate speech. To clear the confusion, what, specifically, was said or yelled that night?
- In yesterday's original article, Ledbetter is quoted as saying, "It seemed that "football players were the ones initiating others in the audience." He also says, "It seemed they didn't know they were representing the University." In this morning's follow-up article, however, you quote Ledbetter as saying, "(the football players) were definitely the ones who seemed to initiate others in the audience to say things, too." To clear confusion, did Ledbetter witness the events, or was he given second-hand information? If he was given second-hand information, why wasn't the original witness interviewed? If Ledbetter witnessed the events and is definitely sure that football players acted as ring leaders in a night of gay slurs and hate speech, why wasn't that quote used in the original article? The word seemed carries the connotation of uncertainty. Why rely on it?
- Your original article quotes Lyda Phillips, House Director. For clarification's sake, what is the difference between the Director (Ledbetter) and the House Director (Phillips)?
- According to the article, Phillips "became aware" of the football players' actions. What, exactly, does "became aware" mean? In what manner did she "become aware" of the situation? Did she witness it, or was she told by another source? Again, if the latter is true, why was the original witness not interviewed? Where was Phillips, as House Director, located? Was she backstage?
- The article suggests that Phillips called "a coach?" What coach was contacted, and how did Phillips come into access of contact information for "a coach" after hours?
- Drew Clinton, Associate Director of Academic Support for the Athletics Department, is cited as responding to the scene. The article suggests after his arrival, football players wished to extend an apology "after the 2nd act." In what act of the play was the line "I'm gay" (that allegedly caused the loudest response from the crowd) located? What was the nature of the conversation between Clinton and the football players? Was there a conversation?
- According to the article, contact was made to the Athletics Department, and they gave no comment. Was there an attempt to track down and interview 3rd party witnesses to the event? If so, why publish the article before gathering more information? If not, why not? Separate news sources cite witnesses stating that they heard no gay slurs shouted from the crowd, only laughter. In a television interview, actor Garrison Gibbons alleged that after the line "I'm gay," "I felt this amazing amount of judgment, and then laughter." Going back to Point #3, what was the actual hate speech used, and why was there not an exploration of conflicting reports among witnesses?

hey people/trolls of Twitter: Obama did not leave the White House to play golf this weekend. he spent both days at home.—
Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) October 08, 2013
Loyal Twitchy readers likely escaped a rebuke from Politico reporter Jennifer Epstein tonight, who made it clear that President Obama did not golf this weekend despite having an empty schedule. A tweet promoting her Politico article, "Government shutdown, cancelled trip leaves Obama schedule empty," had plenty thinking the president took the opportunity to hit the links.
With Asia trip cancelled, the president's public schedule is open during the shutdown politi.co/1glb7vw—
Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) October 08, 2013
As Twitchy reported yesterday, the president did not go golfing despite summer-like conditions in and around Washington, nor did he leave the White House. Most reporters speculated that decision was based on the poor optics of golfing during a government shutdown that closed open-air monuments and national parks. As Epstein mentioned in her own piece:
Also notable is what Obama is not doing. Aware of the optics of even the most casual outing, the Obamas stayed in to celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary on Thursday, and the president stayed off the golf course over the weekend.
Epstein herself said it was notable that Obama wasn't golfing, so what makes these people trolls, besides not having read to the end of her article? Somehow the American public has gotten the impression that Obama likes to golf, a lot.

Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) October 08, 2013
CBS News' Mark Knoller is the unofficial White House golf statistician; let's see if he can shed some light on why people assume the president was golfing this weekend.
As president, GWBush stopped playing golf in Oct 2003, considering it inappropriate during wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan.—
Mark Knoller (@markknoller) September 24, 2013
Pres Bush played 24 rounds of golf, his last on 10/13/03 at Andrews. Last Sat., Pres. Obama played his 146th round of golf, also at Andrews.—

I want a more efficient way of coding to not display buttons
I have two grids, they both display buttons. One grid displays numbers, true or false and yes or no, and the other grid displays letters, true, false, yes and no.
The second grid is not displayed in the code (used css to not display second grid buttons (.answerBtns)) Now using the getButtons() function, if the user selects button "1" in first grid (the grid which you have to open using (Open Grid) link, then it should display button "A" in second grid, if user selects button "2" in first grid, then it should displays buttons "A" and "B" in second grid, if "3" then display "A", "B" and "C" and so on.
Now except using if statements and stating which buttons should be displayed and not displayed depending on the button chosen in first grid, is there a more efficent way of coding this so that the display of buttons in second grid depends on what is selected in the first grid?
If it is using an array can somebody show a sample of this in their answer. You can just do it for one example and then I should be able to use that to fill it for the other buttons.
Thank you
Code is in jsfiddle, click [here][1]

You can have an area for that second grid just as an empty div:
HTML Code:

Code javascript:
var $grid2 = $('#grid2'), i; ... $grid2.empty(); for (i = 0; i < this.value; i += 1) { $grid2.append('<button>' + (i + 1) + '</button>'); } $grid2.show();
You may also want to hide that second grid when the "open grid" link is clicked too.Programming Group Advisor

Ken has been Barbie's boyfriend since 1961, and no, I'm not going to pay attention to that supposed split they had in 2004. I'm sure it was just a rumor for the press. The two has been seen together on way more than one occasion since, and are definitely more than friends.
And these Ken and Barbie coloring pages capture their moments in time perfectly. The two are a fairy-tale worthy couple. Which is probably why they so frequently star in fairy tales…
Now, on with the pics:
Looks like Ken and Barbie are getting married in this one. So I really have no idea why Mattel claimed that he was not into commitment mode…
Such a perfect couple. I love the straps on that dress. And is Ken wearing a crown?
Ooohh.. Ken looks so positively royal here. And Barbie's dress is fantastic! I love the neck line. I want a dress like that now!
This is a portrait coloring page. Roses go so well with Barbie! (Not to mention the king himself!)
Light and romantic. There is obviously a party going in the background. And that's a gorgeous earring, Barbie!

You would have thought that bankers' bonuses have given the government enough hassle that they wouldn't feel inclined to "stand up for them" as Labour alleges they are doing.
Watch: Labour says government fights for bankers and bankers' bonuses
Except, contrary to what you would expect, the Treasury's legal challenge to the EU's attempt to cap bonuses is, they claim, designed to actually keep pay down.
Well, first, the City of London is a very important part of our economy, any attempt to limit the amount bankers earn could, theoretically, put the best bankers off coming to work here, whether in London, or in other parts of the European Union.
Read: What is the EU proposal to cap bankers' bonuses?
But secondly, and what might seem perversely, capping bonuses could mean that banks put salaries up instead.
If they're not allowed to pay bankers sky high amounts through one-off bonuses, well, they could just increase pay instead.
And like it or not, there is already evidence that financial companies are starting to increase salaries already. A survey by Robert Half, a financial recruitment firm, already found that four out of ten firms are already planning to put salaries up.

BOSTON (AP) - A Massachusetts company run by the same executives who operated a specialty pharmacy linked to a fatal meningitis outbreak has agreed to temporarily shut down for inspection by state and federal regulators.
Ameridose is located in Westborough, Mass. The New England Compounding Center, which produced a steroid linked to the outbreak, is in Framingham. Both firms are run by Barry Cadden and Greg Conigliaro.
Ameridose provides sterile medication in prefilled oral syringes to about 3,000 hospitals nationwide. It opened its doors in 2006, eight years after NECC opened.
The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy says Ameridose agreed to the shutdown until the inspection by the board and U.S. Food and Drug Administration is completed.
There is no recall of Ameridose products.
The outbreak has sickened 137 people in 10 states. Twelve have died.

2 police officers receive Union Leader Hero Award
Foster and Officer Dan Wood will receive the New Hampshire Union Leader Hero Award for going into the burning building Nov. 25, 2012, and banging on doors to get the 20 adults and 10 children out safely.
"It's very overwhelming getting this kind of publicity over one act," Foster said. "This act was so small compared to other things I've seen other officers of the Manchester Police Department do. It's kind of uncomfortable receiving the award and the attention from it."
The designation is the latest for the officers. They also received the Police Department's Life Saving Medal.
"I am extremely proud of them," Police Chief David Mara said. "They put themselves at risk and didn't even think twice about it. This is something the police officers of the Manchester Police Department do day in and day out."
Bishnu Gurung, 24, said at the time that she was sleeping when police officers started banging on her door and yelling for her to get out of the building.
"He was calling to 'Wake up,'" she said of the officer.
Gurung and her husband, Karna, 28, grabbed their 2-year-old daughter, Katrina, and headed out into the cold as the three-alarm fire burned through the roof.
Foster also tried to put out the fire, which firefighters believed started on a porch and worked its way into the building. Foster said he was shocked by electric current running through metal around a window during his efforts, but he said he and Wood never gave their own well-being much thought, even though he was "thinking rationally" and not operating on pure adrenaline.
"We knew we needed to start getting people out of the building," he said.
Firefighters at the time credited the officers with ensuring that nobody was injured or killed in the fire.
"I guess my biggest relief came when I knew that everyone was out safely, and I knew that Officer Wood got out," he said. "I'm just thankful to have been at the right place at the right time."
About the Hero Awards
The Union Leader Hero Awards honor New Hampshire residents who have risked their lives in the previous year to save or attempt to save the life of another person.
The program is sponsored by Citizens Bank and presented by the New Hampshire Union Leader.

Last weekend, my brother-in-law told about some awesome frost that he had seen on his cross-country ski run. Of course I wanted to photograph it.
So I convinced Reuben to trek out with me. It was a lovely day and the frosty trees were beautiful.
Reuben got sick of waiting around while I snapped pictures from a million different angles, so he and Helen headed home. But as I walked back, I heard someone quietly say "boo." And there they were, hiding behind a tree, waiting to scare me. Silly-heads.
By the way, most of these photos were taken with my newly acquired iPhone 5S. I love love love its camera capabilities.
You can always see more of my iPhone photos on Instagram.

Authorities are searching for a suspect in a home invasion on Nugget Drive in Orangeburg.
According to the Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office their investigation discovered that just after 5 a.m. Sunday July 21, Kishon Chappelle Gowan, reached through a backdoor window to gain access to the home. The suspect then allegedly pointed a gun at a 25-year-old victim and said "I should kill you" and "You better be glad your kids are here".Govan had fled the residence when officers arrived.We do believe that Govan is a threat to his victim and to others based on the incident Sunday morning.Anyone with information concerning his whereabouts is asked to call Investigations at 803-534-3550 or CrimeStoppers at 888-CRIME-SC.

Beverly 12, Melrose 6: The Panthers held Melrose to just two goals through three quarters behind excellent defense from goalie Kevin Lally and defensemen Mike Dooling and Andrew Irving.

Mat Muse pitched in with one goal and two assists and John Kapnis played well defensively.
Pingree 14, Winchendon 3: Freshman attack Max Trotsky scored three goals and dished out four assist to lead the Highlanders to a one-sided victory. Senior Jerome Cappadona and freshman midfielder Sam Ober each contributed three goals for Pingree, which played an excellent defensive game.

I had to read an out-of-town newspaper to get the names of at least two of the 1972 Dolphin players who decided not to join their teammates at the White House for "political reasons." One wonders why their names were not published in the Herald initially. They were even quoted in the other paper. From what would the editors want to protect their identities? Or, was their absence so irrelevant, though conspicuous, as not to be newsworthy?

Yes, I know, to cook, or more precisely to grill. However, you'd be surprised at what some people use their grills for and what others expect from them. Some people buy a grill because they are having a big party and think it would be a great idea to get one. Many of these people end up giving away (or throwing away) their grill after a use or two. Some people buy a grill to cook everything, everyday. They can get frustrated with their grill for not being versatile enough. Some people buy a grill because they expect it to be an easy and quick way to cook. These people may find grilling harder than they thought or might not keep a close enough eye on what they are doing to get properly prepared food off the grill. Anyway, do you want your grill for Saturday afternoon or Tuesday evening? Is your grill for a few meat items or for virtually everything you can imagine? Do you buy a grill because you are having a big party or family gathering? Either way you slice it, this weeks question is:
POLL: What do you want a grill for?
1) Occasional grilling of steaks, burgers, dogs and chops
2) Big weekend cookouts with lots of friends and family
3) Frequent cooking of whole meals
4) Low-fat and easy foods
5) Occasional grilling of all kinds of foods
6) The perfect steak
7) Grilling, Smoking, Searing, Rotisserie and more
8) Taste
9) Summer Fun
10) Other (please specify in the comments)

I voted grilling, searing, smoking, etc. but would have to add frequent cooking of full meals. Most of this is relatively recent as I've been limited to occasional hamburger, steaks, etc. for most of my 30 years of grilling, but now I have more time, time, time!
- February 27, 2010 at 7:08 pm(4) Bill Wright says:
I've been grilling for almost 45 years. I have grilled everything on the grill from the occassional hot dog to pizza and everything in between. I love the taste that a grill gives to various foods. Even the subtleties that you get with the spices that are different on a grill as to a skillet or oven. My grill are well used.

The first thing I cooked on my pellet grill was bread. I'll cook anything on the grill. Oysters, bbq'd and Brisket, lettuce and other veggies, shrooms, lamb, fish. I should look into doing moredeserts. I just am not a huge fan of sweets. BTW, youtube is looking for the next great chef, and a guy named aussiegriller has been making some great stuff.

Emergency Preparedness: Hey, I like grilling steaks, burgers, chicken pork, etc., as much as the next guy but when the s*it hits the fan and you are days and DAYS without power, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO EAT? FEMA, in their bureaucratic wisdom recommend that EVERYONE have a 72 hour emergency kit, at the MINIMUM. As much as I HATE bureaucrats, that's not a bad idea. I have to tell you, COLD canned food, especially when it is freezing outside and nearly so inside, is not a huge comfort. HOT food can keep even deeply depressed individuals in high spirits and that, high spirits, is what may let YOU survive an ordeal. Does the name KATRINA ring a bell?

Pest Birds: Starlings
Starlings are native to Europe and Asia but have been introduced throughout the United States.
The Starling's coat is covered with white speckles but changes seasonally and tends to fade somewhat in the summer.
Starlings form flocks during certain seasons and will gather in large numbers. Sometimes several thousand birds will converge on a single location creating an unsightly mess and very noisy problem.
The Starling population has grown to over 200 million birds in North America alone.
Starlings nest in natural or manmade cavities. Hollow trees, walls and soffits with openings of about 1 ½ inches are favorite nesting sites. They are an aggressive species and will often evict native species from their nests.
Starlings produce 1-2 broods per year with about 3‐6 eggs per brood. Eggs hatch in about 12 days and the fledglings will leave the nest in about 25 days.
Starlings may fly great distances from roosts and nests in order to feed.
Starlings have adapted well to urban life and are sometimes the first birds in your yard to feed on bread intended for song birds. Their normal diet is berries, seeds, insects, and other arthropods.
Starling Damage
Damage to awnings and signs is common from the droppings of starlings.
Starling nests will often clog gutters and drains causing water damage.
A buildup of feces from large flocks can cause damage to buildings and machinery when uric acid corrodes masonry and metal surfaces. Like other bird species disease pathogens occur in their feces.
The starling is a non‐native invasive species that is not protected by the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

The Nature Valley Grand Prix came to my neighborhood on Friday evening. My neighbors down on the corner had a race-watching party in their yard, so I took a bunch photos of the women's race, then watched the men's race with the party.
At the start line.

The race came right down my street!
I confess that I'm not familiar with a lot of the domestic racers, but I recognized Fan of Dan Emilia Fahlin.

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by Tasha Weiss on August 2, 2013 at 3:31 PM.
The Glasshouse — the centerpiece of the Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibition at the foot of Seattle's Space Needle — is framed with 90 tons of structural steel and houses a suspended 1,340-piece, 100-ft-long glass sculpture as well as the Garden, which serves as a backdrop for a number of monumental sculptures and other installations. Photo: Novum Structures
A garden of glass is blooming at the foot of Seattle's Space Needle.
Chihuly Garden and Glass, an exhibition exploring the career of Northwest artist Dale Chihuly, transformed 1.5 acres of asphalt into an outdoor garden. To mark the occasion, Chihuly himself dedicated the exhibition's centerpiece Glasshouse by signing and dating one of the building's structural beams.
Designed by Owen Richards Architects and Novum Structures, the Glasshouse, which is 40 ft tall and occupies 4,500 sq. ft, is framed with 90 tons of structural steel and houses a suspended 1,340-ft, 100-ft-long glass sculpture as well as the Garden, which serves as a backdrop for a number of monumental sculptures and other installations. The project consists of twelve W18X106 wide-flange columns or "ribs," while all of the support framing at the roof and end walls was fabricated from square and rectangular HSS.
The glass connections, point-supported spider connections attached with rivet nuts, were prepared in Northwest Steel Fab, Inc.'s (AISC member/AISC certified fabricator) shop; everything had to be "handmade" with incredible accuracy due to the large number of glass connectors. In addition, the primary steel members could not be processed through any of the shop's automated equipment as they needed to be rolled. The steel components were all laid out by hand, and holes were manually drilled at the connection plates of the ribs.
Construction took only nine months and the project opened in May.
The Glasshouse is part of the "What's Cool in Steel" section in the August 2013 issue of MSC (available now!). Check out the issue to read about other cool steel projects including a Cool Cottage, a Cool Art Installation, a Cool Carousel and more.

we are developing a network service,but we find that the GPRS speed on Nokia kjava platform is much slower than the pre-installed wap browser.
by fetching the same amout of data(eg, several pictures) . pre-installed wap browser is much faster(seems it uses one thread for each picture), but on kjava , using another thread does not improve the speed at all, at least it's what we get right now.
So, any ideas how to make the GPRS connection faster? I mean , the kjava gprs app should be at least as fast as the pre-installed wap browser, right?

What a let down.
Losing the game isn't what really bothers me. I'm most disappointed because after last week, I thought the Cowboys had finally taken the next step. I thought they had become a team that could be counted on. It's the trust that's missing. The trust that was there in the 90's, early 80's and 70's (I can't speak for the 60's). With those Cowboys, you knew you were going get a team that knew what to do and knew how to do it - even when they lost.
Does today's loss against the Seahawks write the book on the 'Boys 2012 season? Of course not. To put things in perspective: The Patriots lost at home, last week's Baltimore world-beaters got beat, the Giants barely survived at home, the Saints are 0-2, and either Atlanta or Denver will have to answer to a loss tomorrow night. I'm sure it's not the last we'll hear from any of them this season.
Losing a game against an opportunistic opponent in week two is not likely to define the 2012 Cowboys either. The ship is in "the process" of being righted, but to ignore the fact that the team took a step backward would be irresponsible as fans.
It's high time for this team to stop sitting on the fence and decide if they're going to be winners. They have just as much talent from 1-53 as anyone else.
That being said, it's clear we can all use a little cheering up. So I'm posting about the positives for this game - and there are quite a few. Please add yours in the comments and remember to have fun. It's only a game!
Congrats to the Seahawks and the "balance" displayed by their cheerleaders - naughty enough to un-bale the hay in the barn, yet nice enough to bring to the family BBQ. WOW.
Without further adieu, I present the positives from today's game:
1) Dan Bailey is still perfect on the year.
2) Chris Jones did not break his foot when his kick was blocked (see Mcbriar, Matt @ ARI 2008)
3) Coming into the game there was a concern about containing Leon Washington on punts. Not a bad job.
4) I'm glad there aren't any punks on this team. To find out why that's a good thing, see (Morgan, Josh) the last 3 minutes of the Redskins game.
5) It's mathematically possible that the Cowboys won't have to play at CenturyLink field again until 2018.
6) What was suspected is now confirmed. It is impossible to knock
Chuck Norris Sean Lee out of a game. Today, we saw first hand what concussion symptoms look like when they experience Chuck Norris Sean Lee.
7) Mike Jenkins shows he's the RKG by manning the gunner spot on punts.
8) Rob Ryan - you sly dog! Sending Spencer on a blitz from the sideline was brilliant. Even if it was a happy accident, you may be on to something. If the play had not been nullified by a facemask penalty, we surely would have had a memorable entry into Ryan lore.
9) The O-line cleaned up their false start problems.
10) 1-1 is better than 0-2.
11) There are still 14 games to go.
12) Romo pulled himself into a tie with the REVERED ONE for the most TD passes by a Cowboy's QB. It will be a nice side story this week, and I'm looking forward to a few sound bites from my boyhood idol #12. FEAR THE STAU!
Win or lose, it's great to be here with everyone at BTB. We'll get through this together and we'll root again next week. It's one game. It's OUR Cowboys.

Sparknews invites the world's leading newspapers to come together and share stories of hope, change and innovation. That's impact.
The traditional role of newspapers is to report the news. At Sparknews, we see their function as even greater. By informing the public about initiatives for change, we believe the press can take part in finding solutions to the world's problems.
In 2013, we tested that belief by launching the first annual Impact Journalism Day. 22 leading newspapers from around the planet tracked down local projects providing creative, concrete solutions to the critical issues of our time. They wrote original articles, pooled these stories and published them as supplements. 50 million readers all over the globe learned about an organization finding jobs for people with autism, an oversized "tumbleweed" that safely detonates mines, a charity using Coca Cola's distribution channels to deliver rehydration salts, and much more.
This year we are expanding to 40 newspapers in as many countries for a list of 101 life-changing projects, from Wichita to Copenhagen to the Niger Delta. On September 20, 2014—Impact Journalism Day—you will be able to open this newspaper and read stories of real, innovative solutions from around the world. One might even be your own since we organized an international "call for projects" for the 2014 edition! If you did not have the chance to participate this year, be aware of the 2015 call by following us on facebook or twitter.
Impact Journalism /
It's happened to nearly all of us at some point. Whether leafing through our daily newspaper, or reading it online, one story seems to jump out and make us think. Readers today are hungry for those stories. Stories of bright ideas that spark change, both locally and globally. Change we can identify with and participate in. This is Impact Journalism.
Building a network of like-minded editors /
Impact Journalism Day works through sharing. Each newspaper in the project found the most inspiring change-makers and creative innovations in their country, and offered those stories to all the other partners. Sparknews also contributed over 20 original articles to the IJD package. Each editor created their own dedicated solutions supplements from this collaborative content.
Sparking change /
Focusing on solutions is energizing. Very quickly the good mood goes viral, the ideas get shared and developed, and the sparks start flying. The impact can be unexpected, humbling and exhilarating. And it changes the way we think about news and newspapers.
Sharing solutions /
We all know that "bad" news must be reported. But why not report on the answers too? Ordinary people all over the world are finding extraordinary solutions to some of the biggest problems we face. By making sure these ideas reach the widest possible audience means they have the greatest space to grow.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - The recent rain is welcoming news to anyone who wants to build a campfire or start up a charcoal grill. You're now free to do so across many parts of northern Arizona.
The city of Flagstaff, Coconino County, the Grand Canyon, and the Coconino and Kaibab national forests lifted all fire restrictions Tuesday.
The monsoon brought heavy rain to northern Arizona over the weekend and relief to parched landscapes.
While campfires are allowed, officials are warning people to be cautious. That includes operating ATVs with spark arrestors and putting out campfires before leaving an area. Officials say fires should be doused with water and dirt and stirred with a shovel until completely cold to the touch.

That's the way the system typically works in Florida. But it's not just a shove out the door. In Grant's case, there was something better ahead.
Poll: Should Florida do more for foster kids?

When local child-welfare advocates want an example of how things can go right, Grant often becomes Exhibit A. She is bright, personable and exceedingly polite, and she did something almost unheard of in Department of Children and Families history: She actually asked to go back into foster care.
"Kamesha gets a lot of the credit for being where she is," said Bethanie Barber, her guardian ad litem, the court-appointed attorney charged with advocating for Grant's best interests. "She is very, very savvy, she has incredible internal motivation and she was absolutely receptive to everything we put in front of her."
Grant also had a handful of adults — among them former teachers and Barber — she could call for advice and guidance navigating any red tape she encountered.
"I feel like I owe it to all these people to work hard and go even farther because they put in all this time to help me," Grant said from the Winter Park home she now shares with two roommates. "I want to repay them by succeeding."
Similarities, differences
Only a few years ago, Kamesha Grant seemed headed down the same dead-end road traveled by Regis Little — a young man who left years of foster care only to wind up, a month shy of his 19th birthday, stabbed to death in an Orlando parking lot. His life is the focus of a recent task-force investigation on what went wrong and what can be done to save future foster graduates.
Like Little, Grant was removed from her mother's care when she was hardly more than a baby. Both children struggled with mental-health issues. And both moved repeatedly in their young lives to homes in and out of the system.
But when Regis Little turned 18, he wanted nothing to do with the state — outside of a monthly check from the Agency for Persons with Disabilities. Kamesha Grant, at 17, petitioned to be returned to foster care — a decision that, as a legal adult, has helped her catch up in school, given her a place to live and will pay for her college education. It may even help her get a car loan and a job during the summer.
That's not to say any of it has been easy.
Grant's mother gave up her four daughters to DCF when she became seriously ill. Kamesha, the third born, was still a toddler. From then until age 9, the girl lived in one foster home after another, some better than others, but never with her sisters.
At age 9 she had her first turning point: the chance to leave foster care and move in with her great-aunt, a strict disciplinarian.
"She used to really get on me," Grant said, "especially when I was being bad in school. She got me to thinking: I'm going to end up like everybody else, like my mom: pregnant and dropping out of school. And I knew that wasn't who I wanted to be. So I started getting A's."
The more proud her aunt was, the more Grant wanted to please her, and the harder she worked.
But when Grant was 13, her aunt died suddenly. For the next three years, the girl was left with her great-uncle, who was ill himself, and her cousins, and she started to drift back into old patterns. Increasingly depressed and frustrated, she would blow off school, get into fights and started hanging out with kids whose sense of the future rarely extended beyond the next weekend.
Though she didn't know it at the time, she also was suffering the early effects of bipolar disorder, the same manic highs and long, dark lows that plagued several close family members. Once, in a fit of anger, she put her fist through a window and tried to beat up another teen. It got her an arrest for vandalism and battery.

The St. Louis Cardinals are having major bullpen issues in the wake of Jason Motte's potential season-ending elbow injury. Mitchell Boggs seems to be a headcase in the ninth inning with his horrendous ERA and a nearly one-to-one BB/K rate. One-time closer Fernando Salas and Mark Rzepczynski are having a tough time as well and don't seem suited for the late innings.
The man who might be best suited for the job out of the remaining 'contenders' is fireballer Trevor Rosenthal. Yet how can Mike Matheny and co. feel comfortable running out a young man who has already blown two saves in eight games through nine innings pitched?
Well, for one, its a really small sample size—albeit a very disconcerting one. Rosenthal currently has a .400 BABIP and is leaving just over 60% of runners on base.
This could be the result of some shoddy defense—which the Cardinals are not above from time to time. His FIP is over three runs lower than his ERA and he has a stunning 11-to-1 K/BB rate. Rosenthal looks to be holding his end of the bargain up as a pitcher, right?
Maybe not.
Rosenthal's line drive and ground ball rate are well above the Major League Baseball average at 25 and 50 percent respectively. For a guy with a lights-out fastball that tops out at nearly 100 MPH, this is pretty odd—especially with a 14% swinging strike rate.
That being said, the problem I'm seeing with Rosenthal is he's not varying up his pitches. Right now he's throwing his fastball on over 80% of his pitches. The rest—a slider, curve and change—are all being thrown less than 7% of the time. So it's no surprise what hitters are expecting when they come to the plate. That also explains his high HR/FB rate of 16.7% (25% FB rate).
I would be very surprised if Rosenthal maintains that high BABIP—and HR/FB rate—for an extended period of time. I'll be even more surprised if Rosenthal doesn't start mixing his pitches better. He could simply be having a bout of bad luck but I seriously doubt that. If you know four out of every five pitches is going to be a fastball, how hard will it be—for even the most average hitter—to time it and drive it?
The curve ball is going to be key for Rosenthal to succeed in the ninth. He simply cannot live and die on his fastball without having a secondary pitch he throws more than 7% of the time. Even his fellow division flame-thrower Aroldis Chapman mixes in his slider on about 11% of his pitches.

Sam Sugerman's Stadium-to-Stadium Ride for ALS
Sam, his family, and friends will be riding again on Saturday, October 25, 2014! They want you to join them! If interested, please contact Gayle (734-476-7883, [email protected]) or Andy (734-476-7394) for more information.
Please check back for updates!
From the Big House to Spartan Stadium before the Michigan-MSU football game.
UPDATE: "Thank you to everyone who supported the Second Annual Stadium to Stadium Rivalry Ride! We are so appreciative of all who made donations to support Ann Arbor Active Against ALS. We raised nearly $5000!
We also appreciate all those who met us at the Big House on a dark, cold, rainy, morning to send us off to Spartan Stadium! Despite the weather it was a great ride through the rolling hills between Ann Arbor and East Lansing.
We are looking forward to next year's ride — October 25, 2014 — and are hoping to add even more riders. Please let us know if you want to ride with us. Email [email protected]" – Sam & his family
My name is Sam Sugerman. Last year for my Bar Mitzvah project my family, friends, and I rode our bikes from Spartan Stadium to the Big House on the day of the Michigan – Michigan State football game.
Due to the incredible response and the generosity of so many people, we raised over $8000 for Ann Arbor Active Against ALS. Because this ride was such a success we decided to make it an annual event!
Please Support Me – Make a Pledge HERE!
On November 2, 2013, the date of the Michigan – Michigan State football game, we will be riding from the Big House in Ann Arbor to Spartan Stadium in East Lansing.
We plan to leave the Big House at 7:30 a.m.and follow the same scenic, rural, and mostly paved and flat, route for about 65 miles to East Lansing.
We would like to encourage anyone interested to ride with us! However, everyone will need to arrange for their own transportation home from East Lansing. To increase awareness of ALS, and to raise money for ALS research, we ask that each rider solicit pledges to donate to Ann Arbor Active Against ALS.
Thank you for your support -
Sam Sugerman and Family

Policy on Undergraduate Study Abroad
It has been The Johns Hopkins University's general policy and practice to encourage undergraduates to study abroad and to travel to countries with different cultures in order to learn and discover more about these cultures and the world generally. In the last few years — even before September 11, 2001 — there has been increasing concern about the safety and security of travel abroad in many instances, and, in particular, concern within the University about having undergraduates study in countries in which there appear to be particular concerns by the government for safety and security. At the present time, the State Department issues Travel Warnings for those countries where avoidance of travel is recommended.
In view of the fact that the State Department issues Travel Warnings only for those countries where it recommends people avoid traveling, it is the general policy of The Johns Hopkins University that our undergraduate programs and our support for undergraduates doing research or other activities in foreign countries should not take place in a country for which a Travel Warning has been issued and is in effect.
The University also recognizes that in a very limited number of circumstances it may be reasonable to permit travel to a particular country, or to a portion of a country, for which a Travel Warning has been issued. Therefore, a director of any program or a faculty member proposing to lead undergraduate students to a country for which a Travel Warning is in effect, or an undergraduate who wishes to study with or under University support in such a country, may appeal, with the support of the relevant Dean, to the Provost for an exception from this policy in order to permit the desired travel. The appeal should set forth the academic justifications for the trip, the duration of the program in that country, and all reasons why the appealing program director, faculty member, or undergraduate student believes that it is reasonably safe to travel to that country, during the time period intended, despite the Travel Warning. If the appeal is granted, the program director or faculty member shall be responsible for securing signed liability waivers from all the undergraduate students, for communicating the risks of travel to the parents of such students, and, if required by the Provost as a condition of travel, for obtaining the consent of the parents for such travel.
Any questions or concerns regarding this policy should be addressed to your division dean or the Provost's Office.

2010 MAMA is a 'colorless' event, Kpop stars focused on InkigayoNovember 28, 2010
The first music award ceremony of the year, the 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) seems to be a rather 'colorless' and meaningless event, with the absence of some of the big stars in the Kpop industry.
Popular groups who have made their names heard throughout Asia such as SNSD, 2AM, Kara, Beast, T-ara, Davichi, Rain, MBLAQ, After School, Son Dambi, 4minute, G.NA, etc will not be attending the 2010 MAMA.
The 2010 MAMA will be held at The Venetian Macau Hotel's Cotai Arena in Macau at 7.00pm KST on November 28th. Although their names are in the list of nominees, some of these artists will be appearing on music program, SBS Inkigayo instead.
On SBS Inkigayo which will be aired at 3.50pm KST on November 28th, the list of artists and songs in Take 7 are:
- SNSD (Hoot)

SNSD eyeing to surpass 300k copies of domestic album sales in 2010November 16, 2010
SNSD are at the brink of achieving an incredible record this year as they are getting closer to breaking the 300,000 copies of album sales mark in Korea alone.
According to Hanteo Information System on November 16th, SNSD recorded total album sales of 283,975 copies from January 1st, 2010 to November 15th, 2010.
Hanteo's Singer Award Chart reflects the album sales in a year rather than the total album sales since a singer's debut. Thus, for SNSD who debuted in the summer of 2007, only the figure of ~280,000 copies was shown.
Nonetheless, SNSD's releases in 2010 were supported by strong sales. SNSD's 2nd Album "Oh!" which was released in January this year recorded a massive sales of 122,828 copies, while 3rd Mini Album "Hoot" released in October recorded sales of 79,858 copies so far. On the other hand, their 2nd Album Repackaged "Run Devil Run" which was unveiled in March recorded sales of 55,897 copies up to November 15th.
The three releases contributed about 250,000 copies to the total. The first two mini albums, "Gee" and "Tell Me Your Wish" released in 2009, sold 5,040 and 5,231 copies respectively this year (within the period mentioned above).
With a little over 16,000 copies more, SNSD would be the first artists to surpass the 300,000 mark after TVXQ, who broke that figure in 2008, mainly due to the sales of their 4th album "MIROTIC".
