2 New Genes Linked to ALS and Related Disorders
Recognition that the mutations adversely impact regulation of RNA could lead to targeted therapy to correct the problem. The mutation's location in the prion-like domain might also prove significant. Although the mutations in hnRNPA2B1 or hnRNPA1 appear to be rare, hundreds of other RNA-binding proteins have prion-like domains. Taylor said patients with unexplained neurodegenerative diseases may have mutations in these proteins.

This homeowner wanted an authentic looking theater with lots of ornate woodwork and a "real theater feel" for watching sporting events and movies in style.
Custom electronics professional Home Systems teamed up with builder Elie Contracting and planned a room that offered isolation from the rest of the home and also had perimeter walls with dimensions that were satisfactory for the theater layout.
Other advantages were cement foundation walls and multiple layers of Sheetrock and MDF woodwork, along with wall coverings to limit sound transmission through the home, according to Home Systems' Ron Roslasky.
The builder took care of the woodworking, while Home Systems designed the room floorplan, theater wall, and general seating layout was designed by Home Systems, and the architectural woodwork was accomplished by the builder.
Elan LCR speakers and Sunfire powered subwoofer were positioned in a stage build out area below the screen with acoustic wrapped panels concealing them. The side- and rear-channel speakers were flush-mounted into the walls and concealed within the boundaries of raised wood trim.
An InFocus IN-78 projector with a 45x80-inch (16:9) screen, along with Denon AVR-3807 receiver, Denon DVD, VCR, Game input, and HD cable provide the primary A/V punch. A Universal Remote Control MX-950 with MRF-350 RF base operates the gear, as the equipment lies within a rack located in a closet in the entry lounge area—requiring operation of the equipment from behind closed doors.
The system remote also controls four zones of the new Universal Remote/Lutron branded RF dimmers designed to work with the MX series remote controls.

Presented by:
Sydney Opera House
All About Women is a full-day festival of lively conversation celebrating what matters to women
All About Women
celebrated its second year on March 30 as part of the year-round
Ideas at the House
program of the Sydney Opera House, featuring 12 talks, 2 films and much more.
The festival was buzzing with local and international speakers engaging festival goers in topical issues ranging from fashion and sex through to parenting in the 21st century and human rights.We held our very first clothes swap and 'Dress for Success' clothes donation in support of Lucy Siegle's discussion on the impact of fashion on the environment. It was great to see so many of us being generous and seizing the chance to update our wardrobe with a clear conscience on the day.Festival highlights included- Egyptian/American journalist and commentator, Mona Eltahawy gave an honest and rousing talk as she examined the state of Egypt today.- Somalian human rights advocate and founder of the Elman Peace and Human Rights Centre in Mogadishu, Ilwad Elman inspired us and shared some eye opening insights on the challenges of rebuilding Somalia.- Best-selling author of All Joy & No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenthood, Jennifer Senior reassured anxious parents on the pressures of bringing up children today.- Daniel Bergner(What Do Women Want?) debunked the myth and built a strong case against the preconceptions that women's sexual desire was less than men.Popular 'How to' sessions were back again this year and Annabel Crabb and Ann Sherry addressed that all-consuming feeling of FOMO and discussed how to stop the overload with a very appreciative audience.Missed out on talks (or just want to re-live them)? They'll soon be available on the Ideas at the House YouTube Channel so make sure you're subscribed for updates, if you aren't already.Join the conversationFor all year round conversation and debate, follow Ideas at the House through our blog, Facebook, Twitter, Podcasts and YouTube.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Who do you think is the strongest overall. I'd have to say either Kiba or Lee.They both would beat everyone else their thee only non-fodders
Sasuke. Does he count?
kiba .....????? GTFO
it's LEE all that way
rock lee
Well I don't like the databook, but it says
Kiba / Rock Lee = 22
Sai is Anbu level = 27.5
Rock Lee
Hyuga Neji
Nara Shikamaru
Rock Lee
nah it neji
sasuke, then sai and neji
Neji or Sai,
Neji then Lee
Neji, Lee, Sakura
Neji or Gated Lee are most likely the strongest.

By your logic, Sai > naruto because naruto only has 26, and sakura/iruka = Naruto because they have 26 also.
Higher scores doesn't mean they're stronger, just means they're more skilled in other area's than another person.

(Rio de Janeiro, Foz do Iguaçu)
You'll witness Mother Nature at her most magnificent as you stand in awe amidst the white-water mist created by the more than two hundred gushing cascades that make up the soaring Iguazu Falls.
This incredible natural phenomena deserves its standing as one of the seven Wonders of the World, and you'll have ample opportunity to view the majestic falls from many angles as you explore the Brazilian and Argentinean sides of this natural highlight. You'll also explore the pristine subtropical jungle that surrounds the falls, meet its abundant exotic birdlife, and take a train ride along the banks of the Iguazu River. Elsewhere, look out upon Rio de Janeiro from the feet of the famous mountain-top Christ the Redeemer statue; take a panoramic cable car ride up Sugar Loaf Mountain; watch the hang gliders float over Sao Conrado beach; and explore the lush Tijuca forest on Corcovado Mountain.
From the spectacular sights and sounds of a samba show and people watching on glamorous Copacabana beach, to a relaxed Argentine barbeque lunch in the rainforests of Iguazu National Park, this engaging trip showcases the contrasting rhythms of the Brazilian experience. Your team of knowledgeable local guides and private drivers add value at every turn, and your premium accommodation places you in the center of the beach-side action of Rio de Janeiro and amidst the subtropical rainforest of Iguazu.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
Note: A valid passport is required for all American or Canadians citizens, including children, intending to visit Brazil.

In addition, all Americans & Canadians are required to have a valid Brazilian Visa prior to their arrival in Brazil, and the visa must be used within 90 days of issuance. Otherwise, they will be refused entry into the country. For other nationalities it is the traveler's responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Federative Republic of Brazil and its consulates for up-to-date information.

Enjoy a full day private excursion with your own vehicle, professional driver and English speaking guide visiting Corcovado and Sugarloaf. After being picked up from your hotel, you can enjoy a Panoramic city tour by car, passing by the main monuments such as Sambódromo, the Metropolitan Cathedral, Cinelandia Square with its Municipal Theatre, National Library and the Fine Art Museum, to name but a few. Arriving at the Sugar Loaf, you can take a cable car to get to the summit where you will have one of the most fantastic panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro. From here, the stop on the tour is Cosme Velho district, a traditional neighborhood in the Southern part of Rio de Janeiro which houses the picturesque Largo do Boticário - a small square enclosed by several neo-colonial style houses, built in the 1920s. (The houses were constructed using materials from much older buildings in the city's Centro district which had been demolished). Here, you can take a train up to the Corcovado Mountain, through the Atlantic rainforests of Tijuca to see the famous Christ The Redeemer statue and admire the fantastic panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro below. Before returning to the hotel, you will be taken for a visit to São Conrado beach to observe the famous hang gliders flying over the beach. You will no doubt enjoy the hosted lunch stop during the day and at day's end, having seen all of the sights; you will be brought back to your hotel.
Spend a half day today on a private historical tour of Rio de Janeiro in the company of a guide and private vehicle and driver. On your tour you will be lead through the colonial avenues, squares and back streets of the city, and your guide will explain the important historical, political and social events that shaped Rio into South America's most exciting city. Focusing on the period or architectural style, fine examples of Baroque constructions would be the "São Bento" and "Santo Antonio" Monasteries, which recall the times when Brazil was a colony of Portugal. The French influence can be seen from buildings that were built as early as the 19th century and examples include the Municipal Theater and the Fine Art museum. The city's cultural and artistic diversity is showcased on various cultural institutions such as the Cultural Centre Bank of Brasil and the Brazil-France House. Some other features of this tour are "Candelária" Church, "Praça XV" and "Arco dos Telles".
Consider a tour to Corcovado, a trip up Sugarloaf Mountain, a visit to the botanical gardens or a tandem hanggliding experience off one of the nearby mountains.
Relax on your flight from Rio de Janeiro to Foz do Iguacu. Flight time is typically 2 hours and prices are subject to changes based on availability.
Enjoy a private airport transfer with private vehicle and professional driver.
Although primarily famous for the Falls, Iguazu also has other attractions for visitors. Walk past the stunning Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Mosque, the largest mosque outside the Middle East (please note that non-Muslim visitors cannot enter). The zoo, Bosque Guarani, is also popular, and the bird park is the perfect place to while away a few hours. If you feel like taking a private or shared half or full day guided tour, consider one of the following options: a panoramic helicopter tour, a zodiac boat ride under the falls, a jungle safari, tours focusing on birding, flora and trekking, visit to an Indian community, a tour of a precious stones mine, a trip to Cuidad del Este in Paraguay, a kayaking or biking tour, a day trip to a traditional farm where you can enjoy activities such as horse riding, floating and river bathing. Alternatively, consider a day trip to visit the remains of the World Heritage site of San Ignaciom, a Jesuitical Mission where the Catholic church attempted to Christianize the indigenous populations of the Americas in the 17th century. The site also has a fascinating Archaeological museum. Please speak to your Kensington Tours Sales Advisor if you are interested in any of these options.
Enjoy a private half day guided tour of the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls. After being picked up from your hotel, a scenic drive takes you through Iguazu National Park along the Cataratas Highway that leads to the border between Brazil and Argentina. Here, the river drops into a breathtaking canyon. You can descend a walkway and gaze at both sides of the falls and stop at the elevator to ride to the Brazilian side lookout point. Fantastic scenic and photographic opportunities abound, and your expert English speaking Guide will provide an educational and fun tour. At the end of the tour you will be brought back to your hotel in Iguazu.
Fly from Foz do Iguacu directly to Rio de Janeiro. Flights are subject to availability. Total travel time is approximately 1.5 hours.

"I know it's silly to give all 10's, obviously every trip has it's ups and downs, but if it hadn't been for our Kensington Tours planning, guides and drivers we would have been lost! It was wonderful to be out in a strange new environment yet know we had a safety net and a friendly face. The places we visited were awesome but I think we'll remember most the people that we met. Thank you and I'll send photos soon! Sincerely, Christina Adams"

"We just returned last night from our Patagonia adventure and we had the time of our lives! Everything turned out perfectly. Guides were fun, on time and informative. The excursions were great for an active family and, of course, amazing. I thought after the glacier trek it can't get any better - but it kept surprising me and amazing me. My personal favorite was the horseback riding. I thought afterwards after everything we have seen the bike tour would have to be a let down - NOPE - it also was so exciting and our guide was a hoot! Meals were amazing and after so many active excursions no guilt in pigging out. I am so happy we took a little risk and went out of the way with our vacation this year. We will have this with us for a life time.

"GREAT trip! We were very pleased with every aspect that Brandi set up for us including the tour of Quito and environs. Our guide spoke excellent English, the driver was courteous and we felt safe and well-informed throughout the day. We're still going through the 500+ photos that I took and the 1700+ photos that my son took. Galapagos was a fabulous trip and the Eclipse was a terrific way to navigate the islands.

"Dear Sofia
I wanted to give you a little feedback on our recent trip to Peru.
In a word – EXCELLENT – especially the high quality people you work with in Peru. We have taken tours all over the world, S. Africa, France, England, Vietnam, China to name just a few, and the service we received in Peru was far beyond and of the other experiences we have had. The attention to detail was very much appreciated, picking us up at the airport, taking us back to the airport and complete, hassle free, handling of all our details truly made this a stress free experience.
Special thanks to:
-The entire reservation system and the people I came in contact with that process...every detail accounted for
-The people that looked after us in Lima
-Andre, the young man in Cusco who faithfully phoned every night just to make sure the day went well, my wife was well and that we knew what we had to do the next day.
-The Sumaq hotel in Aquas Calientes...you can tell the level of service by the details...I watched a waitress hold a high stool for a lady to prevent her from tipping backwards as she got on the stool, the lady didn't even know the waitress did it....that's client care.
-Especially Mariela, the tour guide in Cusco...highly knowledgeable, passionate, personable and shows great care for the people she guides.

Recently dubbed "the woman who dresses America" by the New York Times, JCrew president and creative director Jenna Lyons' private life became tabloid fodder last year as she split from Vincent Mazeau, her husband of nine years, to take up with jewellery executive Courtney Crangi. While Lyons has remained characteristically low-key when it comes to talking about her new partner, the ultra-attractive twosome have been lensed for the new issue of V magazine making their debut glossy outing as a couple.
Jenna Lyons & Courtney Crangi For V Magazine
With an issue dedicated to dynamic duos, V magazine says seeing the two women interact is 'akin to watching two teenagers in love... giddy with knowing smiles and stolen kisses.' Revealing the essence of her connection with Crangi, Lyons says, "For me the best thing knows that someone really has your back. Like no matter what happens she has my best interests at heart. I think there are a few moments in life where that actually happens, and that feels, like, completely true and real."
Crangi – who heads up the business side of her brother Phillip's hip jewellery line - is equally besotted with her new girlfriend telling V, "I think the most amazing about Jenna, although there are many amazing things about her, is really her grace under pressure," she says. "She's just incredibly gracious at all times." Bless!
We love a gorgeous fashion pairing, especially one so clearly in love as these two stylish mavens. Click through the gallery below to see exactly why Ms Lyons' style is so feted by the fash-pack.

Andrew Mollenbeck,
WASHINGTON - Four fire stations in Prince George's County will go without paid career staff, as firefighters are redeployed to meet efficiency and budget demands.
Volunteers and nearby companies will continue to respond to calls, and Fire Chief Marc Bashoor has made clear the department is not losing personnel.
Overall, response capabilities are supposed to be enhanced by the reassignment.
"The [four] stations are not being closed," Bashoor says.
"Every station will be open 24 hours a day and available for any volunteer coverage."
Effective March 4, career staff are redeployed from Seat Pleasant Station 808, Branchville Station 811, Boulevard Heights Station 817 and West Lanham Hills Station 828.
"Frankly I can't continue to justify staffing locations that are three-quarters of a mile apart from each other," Bashoor says.
"The budget and the contractual obligations are things that drove us to where I needed to do it now."
Last month, Bashoor sent a memorandum to the Department about Monday's reorganization.
"It's part of a comprehensive analysis of our staffing," Bashoor tells WTOP.
"It's also a combination of an effort to live up to the contractual mandates I have to live up to in an attempt to control our overtime."
He says paid firefighters are being reassigned from locations that have multiple fire stations and response capability nearby. Their relocation allows for additional service at other stations.
For example, Seat Pleasant has had round-the-clock coverage with a two-person crew.
With consolidation, the fire department can guarantee coverage with five people at Capitol Heights, just 3/4 of a mile away. Additionally, a dedicated engine and ambulance will be available that were not before the move.

There's precious little that feels better than waking up refreshed from a good night's rest. Sleep recharges us, restores us and improves the way we feel and our ability to think clearly. New research also indicates that insufficient sleep may contribute to a variety of health problems, including obesity, colon cancer, breast cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and more.
Along with recharging us, getting sufficient sleep is also critical in helping the body regulate hormones and proteins essential to keeping us healthy. Unfortunately for millions of people, good sleep is elusive. A variety of health problems can prevent people from getting enough sleep, even causing one to wake, unconsciously, hundreds of times a night.
To help counteract the negative consequences of insufficient sleep, the fully accredited Tanner Center for Sleep Disorders and its team of specially trained physicians can determine the cause of your sleepless nights and put you on the road to recovery.
Select the Services tab to learn more about the Tanner Center for Sleep Disorders.
For more information, call 770.836.9146.
A sleep study monitored by a polysomnographer and read by a qualified physician can determine if a sleep disorder exists, and if so, what course of treatment would work best in correcting the problem.
The sleep studies available at the fully accredited Tanner Center for Sleep Disorders include:

Robin van Persie's late strike kept the Reds' hopes alive but you will need to delve deep into the memory bank to come up with the answers to our latest teaser.
Name five players who have scored in FA Cup ties against United since 1970 and have also played for the Reds.
The men in question could either have joined United later in their career or already been an ex-player when they scored against us. Own goals do not count.

This panorama of Reliant Stadium captures a pivotal moment for the Houston Texans during their 19-13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs. When the Houston Oilers departed the city after the 1996 season, many fans thought the NFL would never return. But in 1999, the NFL awarded Houston the 32nd franchise. The Texans began play on September 8, 2002, at Reliant Stadium, the first retractable roof stadium in the NFL. It was a magical night for the Texans, as they beat the Dallas Cowboys 19-10. Fast-forward 10+ years and Texans' fans continue to pack Reliant Stadium, week after week, year after year.

I've written in articles before that it seems like today's home theater receivers, once considered audio components, are now more about content, networking and control than audio. This is especially true with Sony's latest ES line of receivers, which not only offer very respectable AV and integration features, but a true built-in central control system that will grow with your room or home needs.
The Sony STA-DA2800ES in this review (and its big brother, the STA-DA5800ES) is more than your run-of-the-mill surround sound receiver. It's a Trojan horse. Hidden within its metal belly is a full-fledged Control4 home automation processor. (Control4 people tell me it's somewhere in between the HC250 and HC800 in terms of features and power.) This means that when you buy the receiver, you have in your hands not only an amplifier and signal processor, but also the means to move from a messy basket of remotes to a fully-integrated control system. Let me assure you, that's no small thing.
First, of course, the STA-DA2800ES is a home theater receiver, will all of the gadgetry you'd expect from a modern system, plus some extras you don't expect. The STA-DA2800ES supports 7.2 audio channels, so you can run it like that in one room, or configure your theater area for 5.1 and use the other two channels for a second audio zone. Offering nine speaker outputs so you could have 7.1 in the theater and still two extras for an audio zone would have been nice, but this is a $999 system. Those two extra channels would certainly push the price up. Each of those channels gets 100 watts of power (@8 ohms, 20-20kHz, 0.09% THD) making this a good system for medium-sized rooms (the 5800ES models kicks it up to nine channels with 130 watts per).
On the video side, the receiver offers eight HDMI inputs and three HDMI outs—one of those is for a second video zone. The outputs support both 4K pass-through and scaling via an internal video processor. There are two high-definition components inputs and the usual minefield of other analog inputs for whatever gear you've got. An unusual inclusion is the four-port Ethernet switch. The back USB port is for a Zigbee RF dongle, while the front USB can be used to connect your smartphone or a USB hard drive.
Being a networked receiver, the STA-DA2800ES is packed with streaming media content from services like Pandora, Hulu, Slacker, and more.
Like the prior year's ES receivers, Sony included an automatic setup process. This is important, as receivers and our entertainment systems get more complex. The initial audio setup (called Digital Cinema Auto Calibration), walks the user through the speaker setup and does the usual test-tone beaming with an included microphone. When I ran it, the system correctly identified all of my speakers and made its automatic adjustments. That was nothing unusual for good receivers these days, but the next step was more intriguing.
While every (well, most) receivers include universal remotes and menu systems that allow you to configure inputs, assign names and set up macros to control your other gear, I can pretty safely say they're all terrible (at that, at least). That's why there are third-party universal remotes and control systems. This Sony receiver wants to be better. A system called Easy Automation walks the user through some pretty basic steps to identify and integrate the other components in the system. It even comes with infrared blasters to turn your Blu-ray player, TV, etc., on and off. Even more, it can control wireless lights via lamp adapters or Zigbee dimmers (none of which are included, of course). You can also set up scenes and fairly easily make all of your gear operate like a happy family. The downside is that the remote is a headache-inducing torture device—small buttons, no backlight.
That's where plan B comes in. Plan B is Control4. With the built-in C4 processor, you can turn this fairly smart receiver into a merit scholarship winner that can sail through any test you put to it. Having an installer activate the Contol4 side not only makes your gear all work together more reliably, it also allows you to bring in more systems—such as HVAC, powered shades and other features, and eventually expand control into other rooms. It can do almost anything other Control4 products can, except for video surveillance cameras.

Feng should be up... soon. I'm working on Spirit Kings right now but Lore may have myself or another author, maybe even him(?) do Feng.
Karoht, it will still work as normal, they have thirty second to get out, even if Gara'jal does pass the 20% threshold, all his berserk marks is the cease of spawning totems.
Great guide. BETTER THEN LORE!!! jk lore i still love you. but seriously. very well done.
The spiritual innervation buff increases damage done, haste, crit and mastery many of the tooltips around were incorrect(wowhead just recently updated from the beta versions of the buff). Also keep in mind it doesn't stack persay the buff changes reflecting the amount of the stack. You said to aim for 20-25 stacks, have you seen it stack past 22, I dont know if maybe we arent getting enough actual heals out, but to us it has seemed like it maxes out at 22 for the dps throughout our 50+ wipes we have had on heroic.
Good video, though I did find the large periods of silence somewhat distracting (perhaps you're trying to strike a balance between the clip-notes format that was used for the DS videos and still showing the full encounter?). I also liked the way the DS videos first sent over all of the abilities and then covered the strategy afterwards, it just seemed easier to follow the strategy when the ability explanations aren't stuck in the middle of it.
Just my 2 cents worth of feedback.
When I explain an encounter to my raid, I start with the basics of what to do in each phase (often stopping at phase 1), and then drill down into the mechanics after one or two pulls. A video can't do precisely that, but it can start with a simple framework. Starting with an ability rundown is really common, but to me it feels like "I don't really know how to start this, so I'm just going to read you the dungeon journal."
My favorite videos have been from Vox, like their heroic Hagara video. They're dense, but there's a lot of attention to presenting the information in an understandable order.
Welcome aboard, Solar, and thanks for the video.
A couple of points, though:
1) There's a lot of dead time in the video, so you could probably cut out the pauses and use that to further explain the mechanics as they pop up.
2) I think increasing the size of the ability boxes would make them a bit easier to read, as well as maybe keeping them on the screen for a bit longer.
3) On your next video, I beg you to take out the raid warning noise - I hate it on DBM, and I hate it on this video. x_X
All told though, a good first attempt and I got a lot of good information out of it. I'm looking forward to your next one. o/

Maybe I am remembering incorrectly, but when I tanked this on Sunday it seems to me the tank targets looked like giant Tiki Masks, not giant void walkers.
Good guide, I liked the pauses, but perhaps they could be a bit shorter than they were.
Yep, that's correct. They do indeed look like tiki masks
Grats on your first tankspot guide Solarflair.
I like the new format because it gives you time to digest each mechanic and see how it plays out in the battle, but I agree with others that you really need a different sound effect to announce the mechanics. The DBM warning is really obnoxious. It haunts my nightmares.
Also, I don't mind the downtime between explanations, but you really need some livelier background music. I was falling asleep listening to that stuff.
But overall a very nice, concise and thorough guide.
Just wanted to post what hopefully will be some good tips for those struggling here.
We just got this down last night after banging our heads for a full night, basically from not quite getting the best way to do this fight, after researching a bunch and really picking the ideas that seemed the most sound we came in last night with a pretty different strategy and got him on our 4th attempt.
We used 2 tanks, 2 heals, 6 dps.
Things changed for us with just a few tweaks.
1 - Tanks should be using all their mitigation for when they have Voodoo Dolls, as it will minimize the damage to the other players and help healers. Important, but easy to overlook.
2 - DPS in the spirit realm - We noticed that our SP could take care of basically all the adds in the realm alone until the 3rd totem. We then sent in our Healer/SP/Mage to the realm and had the mage almost immediately leave once he could... just to get the buff. We worked it out to "leave 3 seconds after the button appeared". The healer ONLY healed the mage until he left then would heal the SP and himself. Starting with the 3rd totem we had both dps stay in each phase to help adds.
Healers - Use your Big/Fast heal that is not mana efficient. Using a priest as an example: Binding heal/BH/fast GH etc. Remember for throughout the fight (spirit realm or not) this fight is about big heals and you will get full mana back quickly. Make sure healers are rotating who goes into the spirit realm too. The healers goal is to get out of the spirit realm as fast as possible - with maximizing buffs on dps. 2 extra heals after the DPS is topped off should do the trick.
2 things to add to that: 1) Starting at the 3rd totem we noticed it was more about getting healers our asap than maximizing dps and we would just have him top dps off so they had button and peace out to help heal in normal realm (not doing an extra 2 casts on each)
2) Before the healer leaves try to cast a HoT on anyone staying in the spirit realm, each tick will refresh their damage buff.
We went from wiping at about 25% to enrage to getting the kill with 35 seconds left on enrage.
Hope that helps some groups get over the top!
It sounds obvious, but shedding a healer (and going with two) makes this encounter laughably easy because it utterly removes the enrage as a concern.

[In this movie, we will be covering: displaying Media Start and End Times] [♪ relaxing music ♪] [displaying Tape Name, using Source Timecode] [updated Timecode effect, enhanced Current Time display] After Effects received a much requested overhaul in the way it handles source-produced Timecode in CS5.5. I've opened up project 26A--Color Management Input Profiles from our Creating Motion Graphics book, mainly because it has a variety of media. It has some RED footage. It has some DV footage, in addition to normal Quicktime movies. In the past, After Effects just assumed everybody started at time zero. That's changed now. I'm going to press the tilde key to expand the Project panel to take up my whole display, as this is an older project. I'm not seeing anything new yet, but if I right-click on any column header, I can now pick Media Start, Media End, and Tape Name. Pick Media Start, which defaults to this right column, but I can drag columns wherever I want them to be. And now you'll see the RED footage and the DV footage has maintained its Source Timecode. Particularly interesting is it even maintained the semicolons for the Drop-Frame Timecode the DV used and the normal colons for the Non-Drop Timecode that the RED used. Nice little touch there. As I mentioned, you can also right-click, choose Columns > Tape Name, and if the Tape Name was preserved when you digitized the tape, it will be displayed in this column. In the case of RED footage, you get to see the folder name-- our viritual real name for that shot--AO1CO31. So that's a couple of nice enhancements. I'll press tilde to go back to normal. These Media Start and End times can also be used throughout the project. I'll click on my bit-depth indicator to open up the project settings, and now I have a new option. Do I use the Media Source Time for footage, or do I just go back to saying every one starts at zero? If I use the Media Source Time, grab a clip that actually has a non-zero start, and drag it to the New Composition icon, you'll now see that the composition's Start Timecode matches that media's Start Timecode. If I go Edit > Composition Settings, you'll see basically that the Media Start has been copied into the Start Timecode field for this composition. Another way this is used is if I click media that has timecode embedded, in it's Layer panel you'll see the Start and Stop represent the true time on tape of this footage item. And if I double-click it to open up its Footage panel, I also see these true times. If I find this confusing, I'll just go ahead and set my Project Settings > Footage Start Time back to zero. Click Okay, and these displays go back to the old way of every one starting at zero, then just showing you the duration of that particular clip. This ability to read embedded timecode is also moved over the the old Timecode effect. I'll select my footage, type in "Timecode" to get that effect, drag it onto the shot, and now you see one of the options for Time Source is, indeed, the Layers Source, in addition to the Compositions Time, in addition to a custom time I may want to enter. But by using the Layer Source, it's much easier now for me to go ahead and put timecode burn-ins on, say, all fine footage, which will make it that much easier to hand conform back to online if I need to. Another little timecode related touch you might have noticed is now the Timeline panel shows 2 different time formats. It shows both SMPTE Timecode and Sum-Frame Format, be it absolute frame count or Feet + Frames. It also shows the frame rate of the composition. To change these, you go into your Project Settings. I'll click my on bit-depth indicator. Decide who's the major one, frames or timecode. When you select frames, decide whether or not you want to use normal frame count or Feet + Frames. Click Okay, and now you see I've got a Feet + Frame indicator on top and a SMPTE Timecode indicator underneath. To toggle between these, just hold "Command" on Mac or "Control" on Windows--click. And now it switches who's on top and who's underneath. Another little enhancement in CS5.5.

This list is by no means all encompassing but knowing these chants, cheers and traditions will definitely make you a valued member of the Den! Learn it, love it, live it!
We are the Sons of Westwood,
and we hail the blue and gold,
true to thee our hearts will be,

Take off that red shirt
When a fan walks into the student section wearing a red shirt, the entire student sections chants "Take off that RED SHIRT! Take off that RED SHIRT!" until the offending fan indeed takes off that red shirt.
Before every kickoff (both at the start of a half and after a scored play) the student section, using the drum cadence from the band, points at the kicker. Counting with the drum beat, the Den points at the returning team and bounces their arm back toward the kicker, pointing at the end zone, the 20 yard line, the 50 yard line and then the opposite end zone. Repeat x 4.
Dirt From the Den
Before every home game, members of the Den will distribute "Dirt from the Den" outside of the student tunnel entrances. This "Dirt from the Den" provides students with a game outlook and dirt on the other team.
After every game, the Band will play our Alma Mater. After a Bruin victory, the Band will play "Rover" after the Alma Mater, and the Den jumps around, dancing like maniacs and singing the lyrics to the song. The highlight of the song is when "big dent" is sung and the student section jumps up to make a huge ruckus.
Roll Call
This cheer acknowledges the UCLA players before the game. The Den's Roll Call Leaders will instruct students on which name to chant but as a general rule names are chanted in class order starting with freshmen and ending with seniors. The Den will chant the player's name and clap quickly five times repeatedly until the UCLA player waves to the students.
1-2-3 "Play Ball"
At the conclusion of the national anthem, one Den member will yell "1-2-3" and the entire student section will point to the court and scream "PLAY BALL!"
Opponent Introduction Signs
During pre-game team intro's for the opponent, the Den sign leader will hold up different chants for the starting five opposing players. Once the announcer has said a player's name over the sound system, the Den will yell in unison whatever sign being held up.
Frisbee Cheer
Each game an honorary Frisbee cheer leader will be selected. This person will yell the quotes below. The entire student section will respond after each question with a "Yes, that's …" At the end of the cheer, the student section will simply repeat the word that is being yelled by the Frisbee cheer leader.
"Is this a basketball?"
"Is that the court?"
"Is that the losing team?" (point to the opponents)
"Is that the winning team?" (point to UCLA's team)
"Are we the Bruins?"
"Looooooosing team!"
"Winning team!"
Dirt From the Den
Before every home game, members of the Den will distribute "Dirt from the Den" on the student seats inside Pauley. This "Dirt from the Den" provides students with a game outlook and dirt on the other team.
If an opposing team player shoots an airball, chant "airball" any time that player touches ball.
3- Point Play
When UCLA get into a 3- point play situation, yell "3 point play" with the announcer when he says "(player name) to the line to complete the 3 point play."
Shot Clock
When UCLA has 10 seconds on the shot clock left, help them by chanting out each second as it passes. If our opponent has 10 seconds on the shot clock left, start yelling "5-4-3-2-1!"
So Long Chief!
When an opposing team's player fouls out, yell out which foot is stepping on the floor. Usually that chant would sound a little something like this: "Left, right, left, right, left, right" unless that players tries to get fancy and hops back to the bench. When the player stands on his walk back to the bench yell "STAAAANDING" nice and slow until he resumes movement. When the fouled out player finally sits down on the bench , the Den yells "SIT DOWN!" After a couple seconds have passed, a Den leader yells out "1-2-3" and the entire Den yells back "So long chief!"
2 Minute Cheer
If the Bruins have a hearty lead with two minutes left to go in the second half, the crowd will begin an arena-wide UCLA cheer. Each section (two sideline sections and two baseline sections) will have their own letter. The sideline student section will cheer "U" and make a U arm motion, the baseline student section will cheer "C" while making a C arm motion and the other sides of Pauley Pavilion will yell "L" and "A" depending on their seat.
Whoosh Clap Clap
When UCLA is shooting a free throw, the Den holds up one finger towards the basket. When the free throw is made, the Den yells out "Whoosh" as they drop their hands into two quick and loud claps. Then usually, it's time to do it again for another free throw!
During the explanation of the Supershot rules, the announcer says "And for that Lowly Trojan All-Star…" and the Den responds in unison "Absolutely nothing!" while making a big zero gesture with their hands.
After every game the Band will play our Alma Mater. After a Bruin victory, the Band will play "Rover" after the Alma Mater and the Den jumps around, dancing like maniacs and singing the lyrics to the song. The highlight of the song is when "big dent" is sung and the student section jumps up to make a huge ruckus.
Bruin Points
As the announcer says the UCLA individual player point totals, the Den does one clap for every point. So when a player scores 20 points, the Den quickly claps 20 times after the announcer say that player's point total.

Transmission is Bubbling
A billion-dollar 'gold rush' could send grid rates through the roof.
to 24 percent of total CMP delivery-only rates" (Motion to Hold Petition in Abeyance, p. 18, FERC Dkt. EL08-77, filed Aug. 29, 2008) .
In defending incentives for its MPRB project, Central Maine projects that its interest coverage ratio during the construction period will decline from 4.4 to 3.4, a figure more characteristic of companies with credit ratings lower than CMP's current BBB+/A3 ratings. It adds that a FERC incentive allowing current rate recovery of CWIP would help boost its coverage ratio to 4.2 during the height of construction.
Maine PUC analyst Richard Kivela counters, however, that for T&D utilities like CMP (and MPS) that have divested themselves of generation assets and which carry very low business risk profiles, the S&P guidelines indicate that a 4.2 coverage ratio actually would be consistent with a "high-A" to "low-AA" credit rating.
Kivela adds that CMP's case for incentives is undercut by Iberdola's friendly merger offer of $28.50 per share for stock in CMP's parent company, Energy East. According to Kivela, Iberdola's offer represents a premium of more than $1.2 billion over book value, indicating that an appropriate ROE for CMP would fall within the range of 10.5 to 11.0 percent—substantially lower than CMP's requested figure 13.14 percent, reflecting FERC incentives for grid expansion.
Maine Makes a Market?
In August 2007, ISO-NE released the final draft of its "New England Electricity Scenario Analysis," in which the RTO documented that the region would need another 8,000 MW of electric capacity by 2020 to 2025, but that adding gas-fired capacity to meet that challenge (the likely capacity of choice absent major changes in RTO policy), would expose the New England region "to potentially high prices and additional fuel-diversity issues."
The analysis concluded that alternative paths favoring renewables could save New England over $1.5 billion per year (almost 14 percent of total system costs) versus the "business as usual," carbon-heavy path represented by power plants already proposed and listed in the region's interconnection queue.
In particular, the report favored wind and other similar generating choices that could provide energy "at low to no fuel cost," thereby resulting in "the lowest system-wide electric energy prices, emissions, and use of fossil fuels."
That policy document today drives much of New England's big picture planning. Yet it appears that facts on the ground are conspiring against such thinking.
First, EPAct and FERC's interpretive rules for grid-expansion incentives reward only those projects that ensure reliability or reduce line congestion, and MPC, unfortunately, does neither.
In fact, New England as of 2007 had "little persistent transmission congestion," according to Stephen J. Rourke, ISO-NE vice president for system planning, in remarks he gave on July 9 in Hartford, at a DOE workshop on transmission congestion .
Second, MPC likely would not even cause spot-market energy rates to fall much in New England, since the RTO's single-price auction market for energy relies on locational marginal pricing, and even a large dollop of imported wind capacity probably would not displace gas-fired turbines from their position as the price-setters operating on the margin.
Third, the MPC project

Written by Rich Forestano and Dave Gil de Rubio Friday, 08 March 2013 00:00
Though he has to contend with Tom Suozzi to challenge Ed Mangano for the Nassau County seat, Democrat Adam Haber said he knows what will happen.
"I'm not going to get the nomination," the Roslyn resident said in a sitdown with Anton Newspapers last week. "I'm going to run a primary. I'm going to do exactly what Suozzi did against [Thomas] DiNapoli. He didn't get the nomination. He ran a primary and I'm going to win the primary."
Haber, a Mineola restaurant owner and Roslyn School Board member, feels his "unique skill set" is right for Nassau County, ranging from 22 years in finance, commercial real estate management, and stumping for job creating "business" incubators in Long Island.
Downtown revitalization, a smart growth initiative across Long Island, is a key element to bringing prospective homeowners and businesses into the area. Plans are in place in numerous areas, including Elmont, Hempstead, Inwood, Glen Cove, Great Neck and Uniondale. Haber in particular thinks Mineola, Hicksville and Freeport are on the rise.
"If you create a scenario where small startup companies can have a place to start a business space, sometimes for free for a period of time and become tenants to stay and thrive, you have to redevelop cores of communities."
LaunchPad LI, a Mineola-based business that gives start-up companies works space, opened on Feb. 13 and is a stones throw from the Mineola train station. Investors Andrew Hazen of Jericho and Rich Foster of New Hyde Park brainstormed this idea.
"From seed funding, to a prime location for entrepreneurs to grow, to premiere event space, LaunchPad has it all," Foster said.
Startups can attain workspace for $15 per day or $250 per month. Private offices are available from $650 to $1,500.
A Hicksville incubator like LaunchPad named Canrock Ventures, opened last year. Haber is an investor in Canrock, the largest incubator company in Long Island.
"You have to create an environment where young kids can be in the same area, in a huge open room where you can have people working and build off of that," said Haber. "Once you have the influx and the businesses come, and the redevelopment happens, you have to fast track that in all those areas.
Inexperience in the political arena is a seeming red flag in Haber's candidacy. The Roslyn resident disagreed, rattling off a skill set that includes 22 years spent in the world of finance, current experience as a small business owner of two restaurants and a self-described ability to run things as cheaply as possible while still maximizing revenue. Efficiency on the county government level is a major factor he consistently hammered away on regarding the woes of the county supervisor. When it was pointed out that unions might be one of the main causes of inefficiencies, Haber was quick to disagree, elaborating on his working relationship with the teachers union in his hometown.
"I think unions get a bad rap and I think that they want success because they realize that they're going to get laid off if things don't get better. And I think that we're at a perfect crossroads where people want to work together," he explained. "Stop vilifying unions. I'm more than happy to work with every union. I work very well with the Roslyn Teachers Union and the thought of collective bargaining went very well. We ended up having a great agreement. And keep in mind that of all the school [districts] in Nassau County, Roslyn hasn't cut services to special needs kids. We're actually adding programs. We have one of the lowest tax increases of any school district in Nassau County and we haven't laid off a single teacher."
For as fluidly as he handled negotiations with the Roslyn Teacher Union, another area he dealt with that needs fast-tracking, according to Haber, is school busing. In Roslyn, he spearheaded an intermunicipal busing initiative, which he says would be countywide should he win the seat and save Nassau $10 million annually. Roslyn worked with neighboring schools in transporting students to offset costs.
By law, school districts must provide students with bus service, even to a private school, if that school is within 15 miles of a school district.
"We would share resources and costs," he said. "Instead of it going to an outside vendor, the money stays in the schools."
Of all the current economic threats hanging over Nassau County school districts, the tax certiorari issue is front and center. With the county deciding to push off payment of improperly assessed properties onto public education rolls, many schools that may have been on the precipice of a balanced budget instead have to account for the potential of state-mandated expenditures not exempt from the tax levy cap. It's a situation that gives Haber grave concerns and one he has a plan to address that he was unwilling to reveal until before the election.
"Pushing tax certiorari on the schools right now is the worst possible thing you can do," he stated. "What the county executive is saying is that he balanced his budget but then each of these 56 school districts is going to have to hire its own infrastructure to deal with these tax certioraris. There'll be more layers of government and it's going to cost more money administering it than if the county did it. There's $400 million of tax certiorari that is not paid back. If the county wins [in court], God help us. I'm a strong advocate of our school systems. We destroy that, we're done."
Late last week, the state appeals court rejected Nassau County's attempt to shift the cost of property tax refunds to school districts.
