The current standard for biopsy-based diagnoses of dysfunction of kidney transplants is the Banff Classification which represents arbitrary international consensus. Recent data-driven approaches using molecular and conventional technologies indicate that mere consensus produces frequently incorrect diagnoses with potential harm to patients due to inappropriate treatment. To address this unmet need and improve diagnostics in the area of organ transplantation, the Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Centre (ATAGC) has developed a new diagnostic system that combines the molecular and histopathological features of transplant biopsies, plus clinical and laboratory parameters, to create the first Integrated Diagnostic System. The present study will validate and refine this system in 500 prospectively unselected biopsies for clinical indications from American, Canadian and European centres. In addition to demonstrating the feasibility and value of this System in routine patient care and clinical trials, the study will develop and optimize a transparent and user-friendly reporting format to communicate this information to clinicians and obtain detailed feedback on how this system can best improve patient care.

Cal Crutchlow reckons Bradley Smith's critics have already been proven wrong after the British rookie produced one of the most impressive performances during this week's Sepang MotoGP test in Malaysia.
The Oxfordshire rider finished with the eighth best time and was less than two seconds off the best pace set by Dani Pedrosa on the factory Repsol Honda RC213V.
Smith clocked a best time of 2.02.093 on the final day today to finish ahead of all four factory Ducatis. And included in his 48-lap stint today was a fast and consistent full race simulation as he looks to build up his experience of the Yamaha YZR-M1.
Smith's best lap of 2.01.931 on day two meant he was eighth overall on the final leaderboard.
Crutchlow, who finished with the fifth best time, was 1.3s clear of his Monster Yamaha Tech 3 teammate, but he hailed the 22-year-old's impressive performance.
Ever since Smith's move to MotoGP was confirmed back at the Motorland Aragon race in September 2011, he has faced a barrage of criticism that his results in Moto2 weren't worthy of a prized YZR-M1 seat next to reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi and Crutchlow.
But speaking to MCN in the Sepang paddock today, Crutchlow said: "He has shown 100% that he deserves to be here. I think it is great to come and do a good and consistent job. His times are no further off than the other rookies at their first test and the way he has gone about his business and ridden the bike has been impressive. He has worked hard over the winter months trying to understand the bike and now he has a great crew chief in Guy Coulon and you will see the true potential of Bradley. He has two year's on the bike and I think he'll come into his own next year."

Tech 3 Brit invasion !
Best of luck to them both, i must admit i wasnt expectin much from bradley, considering his pace and lack of aggression i moto2, well chuffd to see him up there tho, must be a big confidence boost sein ur name up there wi the likes of rossi and lorenzo and co, but as im sure we all very well know, testing and racing are two completely different scenarios !? Even so i hope and wish all the brits a succesful and safe 2013 campaign,
Cant bloody start soon enough lol

All this proves is Crutchlow is just a mid-pack-runner also. If a rookies first run on a bike gets him 1.3 seconds off his team mate who is running 5th in his 3rd year, and also who is running behind another rookie in his first year in the class, just goes to show where Crutchlow will be ending up races, and the season.
I doubt you'll be seeing the Tech 3/All Brit combo for very long!

(Adds details, share move)
June 6 (Reuters) - Car rental company Hertz Global Holdings Inc said it would restate financial results for the past three years to correct accounting errors from 2011.
The company also said its quarterly results were likely to be below analysts' expectations due to costs associated with the accounting review.
Hertz shares fell nearly 10 percent in premarket trading.
The company's audit committee had concluded that financial statements for 2011 should no longer be relied upon, Hertz said in a regulatory filing on Friday. (http://r.reuters.com/has89v).
A committee review may require Hertz to make adjustments also to the financial statements for 2012 and 2013.
Hertz said it would not hold its conference call scheduled for June 9 to discuss first-quarter results.
The company's U.S. rental car revenue per day fell 1.6 percent in the qaurter ended March 31, hurt by excess fleet and the loss of the Easter holiday.
Easter fell on April 20 this year.
Hertz shares had closed at $30.49 on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday.

My kiln did not shut off for my last bisque firing last Sunday. I knew it wasn't getting hot enough. Couldn't see the glow between the lid and the base. After wishful thinking shut it down after 17 hours. Checking with a meter found it was the top switch. Looked like it had a little nest in it. Got a new one from Cress in 2 days, installed it and today bisque fired again..off in 7 hours. I hurried it a bit since everything was almost 04 but had no idea what cone.
Last glaze firing the kiln sitter cone broke and shut it down early. Everything was unfired. Orton said to tug a bit on the cone before using. Then if they are weak or cracked they will break and you won't risk an underfire. I refired and everything turned out fine. I had about 10 in the box pull apart. I think I'm due a few good firings in a row now.
Hope all goes well. It could be the damp ware. I am very conservative and glaze fire very slowly 13-15hours.

More Places features
We launched phase one of Places a couple of months ago, and thanks to the dedicated work of many of you (special thanks for cleaning up the cuisine info), we've got a great start on a deep restaurant database. Today we debut the two most-requested additions to the feature: a way to add a Place without linking from a topic, and an easy way to get to the Places pages.
First, adding a place. If you search for a Place and don't find it, you'll see a link that says: "Didn't find what you were looking for? Add a place now." We thought that requiring a search first was the best way to direct users to the rich board & place content that we may already have, but if you think this is inconvenient, let us know.
Add a Place: http://www.chow.com/places/new
Second, finding Places. We've added hub pages. Places hub pages, like this one for Los Angeles (http://www.chow.com/places/regions/2) are the front doors to regions' Places pages. We've launched with just a handful of these hubs, for some of the more trafficked regions; we'll expand to all the boards soon. Right now, each hub has a Google map, a list of most recently added places, ways to search and browse restaurants, and recent posts. For cities that have them, there are also recent Digests. We'll add more content as we go along.
You can find these hub pages from the top navigation bar on the front page. So, for example, if you go to the front page, click on the Places carat, you'll see a list of regions that correspond to highly trafficked boards. Click on Manhattan and you'll go to the Manhattan front page.
Manhattan Front Page: http://www.chow.com/places/regions/18
We've already begun work on a slew of Phase II enhancements & improvements, so look for changes in the coming months including ability to navigate through places using the map, pulling board posts onto relevant places, neighborhood browsing, saved places on "My Chow" and more.
The engineers have been working very hard on the features we are launching today and the ones to come, and of course on the frustrating technical difficulties that many of you have been having. There will be more snags, I'm sure. But please give the features a try, keep telling us what you think, and we'll keep trying to improve them.
I hope you are aware of the bugs currently affecting "Places".
The major one being the fact that you can not add the link of the search result you want, the system seems to default to a particular result no matter what.
Please see the "introducting places" thread for more information.
re: eatfood
Yes, that's a priority to fix. The engineers are working on it.
The new, non-hidden Add A Place feature is fine except for the new LTAP design.
CH needs to explain the LTAP change (results list limit to 4 places) because it seems more like a bug than a feature. Limiting by Region is a good first step BTW.
If we don't know how the new LTAP supposed to work and why, how will we know when it's broken??
I noticed that after selecting a particular Cuisine (Vietnamese) the LA Hub map shows only the 20 most recently updated Places. Huh? I hope that was a snap decision that can be changed.
I would Expect that All of the Places for a particular cuisine would show up. I hope that CH isn't arbitrarily restricted to the limits of Google Maps e.g. 100 placemarks max per map.
Selecting the places per Neighborhood would be useful but that's in the future :-). What constitutes a 'Neighborhood' is in itself controversial.
re: DiveFan
I agree... it would be great to not be limited to the 20 most recent. I noticed there's a "see all" link, which is great. But then it goes away from the map to a laundry list. I'd much prefer to see more on the map itself.
If there's a limit to the number on the map, then perhaps there could be a user filter on which to display? For example, 'most recent' or 'most relevevant' or 'closest' (which would require the user to indicate an address... which sounds like a phase II project). At the minimum, it would be great to have the option of showing the most recent 20, 50, 100 or something like that.
Finally, the plans you describe for phase 2 sound very good. What will really make this helpful and interactive if when you can drag around a neighborhood map and see ALL the places that have been tagged... so you can do an interactive search by neighborhood, regardless of cuisine, etc. I was in chicago yesterday and needed to find a place very near O'Hare airport. So I had to search the board. and I tried searching places. What I found was hard to determine what was really close or not. But if there'd been an interactive places search in google maps, I could have simply gone to the chicago map, zoomed in on the o'hare airport and seen what was nearby. That's going to make this really, really helpful. Seriously.
It sounds like that's what you are planning for phase II right? Very cool if so.
re: adamclyde
Right - that is what we're planning, to be able to drag the map around, zoom in, and see everything in the area. I think it will be cool.
re: adamclyde
We'll going to be rolling out new features gradually in the next couple of months, and that does mean new hubs.
The new "Region" field in Places items has problems. It was added after most items in the current database had been entered, and in some cases it's incorrect. Several Manhattan places were categorized as Outer Boroughs, for example. I've just finished correcting some of them, but while they now show Region=Manhattan, they still turn up in an Outer Boroughs Places search.
Another problem: If you try to change the Region to Other, the edit won't stick. Here's a Singapore restaurant that turns up under Outer Boroughs: http://www.chow.com/places/2453 . After numerous attempts to edit it, the system stubbornly continues to list its region as Outer Boroughs. Here's one more, a New Jersey place erroneously categorized under Manhattan: http://www.chow.com/places/8866
re: squid kun
Along the same lines ... here are some Outer Boroughs places that were erroneously categorized as Manhattan (haven't gotten around to fixing these):
And one Tristate Region (Other) erroneously categorized as Manhattan:
re: squid kun
Yes, thanks so much for fixing the errors. You're right; we wanted to start working on a "browse by neighborhood" feature and we got a little reckless on the neighborhood entries. We'll look at that problem of not being able to change the region.
re: Morton the Mousse
In subsequent versions of the hubs, we're planning to automatically link relevant threads. In order for the content to be manageable, we'll probably provide only the most recent threads. So we will -- probably not in the next rev, but soon -- provide a way to get those relevant but old threads up there.
The new default text in the "What You Should Know" (formerly "Local Knowledge") field is:
"Please give us the who-what-when-where! (Tips like who's in the kitchen, what to order, when to go, where to park, which table to book…or anything you think is important.)"
I don't think "what to order" belongs there. That's a matter of opinion and sometimes strong disagreement, so it should be discussed on the boards.
To avoid edit wars, the wiki fields should be limited to noncontroversial factual information only.
Previous thread on this:
re: Robert Lauriston
I helped update the cuisine field for a few hundred Place records to help out the launch of the new hub feature. So I saw quite a few records and hope this will stand because I have some strong feelings about this based on what I saw.
The wiki feature, especially the option of filing in "what to order" distinguishes Chow from every other food forum / restaurant site on the web. To me it is the value added part of the site.
First of all people are using that section. I suspect that a few new posters are using it instead of posting on Chowhound but from what I saw that was a microscopically small percentage. Actually this section doesn't get used that much currently.
I've been using that section to pick out what to order from mainly static, small joints that don't get a lot of traffic. If there are comments from a poster about a particular dish, I do a cut and paste eliminating personal comments.
That helps me when I decide to go to that place. Reading Chowhound posts the first time is fun, however having to re-read them when I'm ready to go to a joint ... I rarely get to it. So the wiki is a quick reference.
BUT from day one I knew anything in that section could be here today, gone tommorrow.
So, if I'm ready to go back and the info has been changed ... oh well ... no biggie ... the links to the posts are still there.
That information isn't as dynamic as the boards. That is, once someone enters info in the wiki, I doubt most people will go back and keep track of the info there.
On the other hand, the dynamic format of the Chowhound boards encourages discussion and controversy and topics are more in your face. The My Chow page alerts posters about continued discussion on recent topics.
I read Yelp a lot ... sometimes wading through over 100 reviews to find out the general consensus is that a certain restaurant has three or four recommended dishes. To have that information summed up in the wiki would have been invaluable to me ... a real time-saver.
What drew me to Yelp in the first place was I knew I could easily get high-level restaurant information there ... address, phone, website, etc. With Places I can get that info on Chowhound ... and ... hopefully ... some high-level info on what to order.
I don't really see how this could be restricted without turning it off. Based on what I've been reading, people are going to use it the way they want to use it.
I would hope that the probably few problems with a wiki feature can be handled through Chow policy rather than restriction ... and without taking the feature away altogether, It is one of the parts of Chow I love only second to the boards.
re: rworange
It can and should be restricted the same way the boards are kept free of spam and off-topic discussion: set policy and enforce it.
I guarantee you that if opinion is allowed, many restaurant owners will make sure it's positive.
Information on what to order *is* dynamic. Restaurants go uphill and downhill; chefs leave; dishes go on and off the menu. One of the advantages of Chowhound most often touted by regulars is that the tips are fresher than elsewhere.
Two enhancement requests:
I think the optional phone number field in the manual "Add a place" dialog is a poor choice, since there are at least three more useful fields:
Website (which if available will provide the phone number)
Type of place
Primary Cuisine
Also, if those were available when choosing a place from the "Other places" dialog people would be more likely to add them.
As I browse through the LA and SF Place hubs I'm realizing:
- Adding Regions corresponding to all location Boards should (?) eliminate the issue with the crippled 'Other' non-region.
- The Place hub (region) page layout really needs work.
Ditch the map, Most Recently Updated list and lists of gratuitous topics and digests.
ONCE a cuisine subset of the region is selected, THAT page should show the map and a list of (all?) Places for that cuisine. Below that a list of Most Recent topics of that region and cuisine would be extremely useful. The ObList of digests and recipes could follow.
- Searching by neighborhood doesn't really sound useful without arbitrary definitions. I've found searching Places by city is more helpful and accurate. Well, except for really geographically large cities like Los Angeles.
- Add a Place needs to show up on a lot more pages around the site.
re: DiveFan
We're finding people search for neighborhood as much or more than they search for cuisine; still, we're working to make the map display whatever search you're performing. Ultimately, the map will sub for the neighborhood (or vice versa). That is, you'll be able to drag the map around to find the place you want.
On the "add a place" feature -- Jim Leff schooled me on this, and I've tried to be a good student: We want to make sure that everyone has searched what's already available before additions are allowed. It's annoying when somebody asks a question that's been asked and asked before; likewise, we didn't want to have people simply adding places before they've searched what's in the database. That said, we're trying to ensure that adding a place that's already in the database doesn't create a duplicate, and when we're certain we've got that working, then we can show "Add a Place" on more pages around the site.
re: jane
Just wanted to clarify that in reference not to "add a place" (which Jane's talking about above) but re: regular old message board postings, repetitive questions are actually good for the resource, as they allow us to track ups/downs/closings of places, so we can cover, in real time, the ever-changing food scene. Also, every new go-round of a same-old question catches fresh opinions and tips from newcomers who weren't around for the previous.
re: Jim Leff
I'm becoming a believer in the "repetitive questions are good" philosophy--we had four posts last month asking for authentic philly cheesesteak sandwiches in the Twin Cities. The first three posts drew no good recommendations, but wouldn't you know that the fourth yielded a recommendation that seems like a real winner! Things change, people come and go...
re: The Dairy Queen
For the tiny minority who compulsively read everything every day for long periods of time (like you, me, and the moderators), the repetion gets a little annoying. It makes Chowhound slightly less of a compelling "read". But it makes us a vastly more useful resource for the multitudes coming to us for cutting-edge eating advice.
Static judgements about the ever-dynamic food scene are useless (see this NY Post article, in which, incidentally, I was quoted: http://www.nypost.com/seven/09262007/... ). The solution is constant refreshment and rehashing of just about everything. Fresh tips. Fresh opinions. Fresh news. Constant reevaluation. God bless the Internet, which makes this possible (do any of you remember what it was like in 1996 trying to get cutting edge skinny?).
re: jane
One problem with searching for previously entered places is that if users are doing it via the "Link to a place" route, they're asked to select a region. And unfortunately there are many places, entered before the region field was introduced, that do not bear the correct region and thus won't show up in a search.
For example, I've been focusing on New York places, and I figure there must be dozens, entered before the region field existed, that wound up erroneously categorized as region=Other (instead of Manhattan or Outer Boroughs). Time permitting, I've been trying to find and fix them, but in the meantime users are unwittingly creating duplicate places. Highly frustrating.
OK, I added some Bagel places in the LA region.
Where is the Bagel map? Inquiring bagel hunters want to know :-) ....
re: The Dairy Queen
No, I think we'll be able to add hubs without splitting the boards. (Splitting the boards, we've found, is a complicated and booby-trapped process, so while we intend to do that in many cases -- including the ridiculously broad "midwest" -- we're also aware it may be better not to wait for new boards to create new hubs.)
re: jane
That's terrific news, jane, thank you. I've heard before that the board-splitting is complicated, so, I'm glad to know that that process won't hold up the rolling out of hubs. For the record, (and it might be a minority opinion) I don't think it's terrible to have us Midwesterners share a single board as long as people remember to indicate city and state on their posts. I wonder if, in fact, the new hubs might even make it easier for Midwesterner to share a single board.
re: The Dairy Queen
Probably the most complicated part is getting previous discussions assigned to the right region, which turns out to be a time-consuming, error-prone task. Headlines work great -- and here's a plug for descriptive headlines for topics in general, which help a lot in focusing discussion as well as searching. Even if you're compulsively reading everything (like Jim).
Sorry, I am trying to add some Korean restaurants to the Ontario borad, but I am having difficulties. I entered "Chowon", and it came up as one of the choices, but when I clicked it, this came up:
Hut Korean Restaurant
Ontario (including Toronto) - 5515 Yonge Street North York ON
(416) 221-2002
I changed the header and added my comments, but it did not save properly.
Chowon Family Restaurant
17 Drewry Ave.
Toronto Ontario M2M 1C9
(416) 250-7422
I hope the right info goes up - and I get used to the "Places Function".
re: ghetto_scarlem
OK, we've made that fix: http://www.chow.com/places/10676
re: The Chowhound Team
You had to manually fix that? I hope that wasn't the case...
re: eatfood
re: The Chowhound Team
Because from recent reports, there seems to be bugs relating to this particular problem. If every thing has to be manually fixed, we could end up with many many such requests!
re: eatfood
The Engineering Team is working on fixes, but in the meantime, we're happy to help out and make edits where we can. Feel free to report them to us either via an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or with a post here.
re: The Chowhound Team
Hi, I have request for another fix on the Ontario board. Simba Grill comes up twice as different place links -
re: JamieK
Thanks- right now we can't remove Places, so if you see a duplicate Place, it's best to flag one (preferably the one with less info) with DUPLICATE in the title. When we can, we'll go back and clean those up.
An update on places development: This morning we added a new element to the places pages "Other Topics". While "Linked Topics" shows board topics that contain an explicit link to the place. "Other Topics" is showing posts that mention the place, but don't contain a specific link to it. This should help to fill out some of the places with relevant information from board discussions that happened before the place was added to the database. For an example, see this record: http://www.chow.com/places/9737 You'll see that it was linked in a post yesterday, but it also was mentioned in posts in 2006 and 2002.
re: Engineering
This is very cool. I like how the relevant links show up instantly, as soon as you add a new place link.
An Update: We have fixed the problem with "Add a Place" where, when adding a place, the last item on the list was always selected, regardless of what the user had selected. Should be working properly now at http://www.chow.com/places/new .
re: Engineering
Could you please edit your post so that you have a space between the url and the ending period (.) so that it will work when the casual user clicks on the link? Or maybe it's time to fix that parsing problem too. (g, d, r)
re: Engineering
Hooray! This bug was resulting in the inadvertent creation of Chow places for hairdressers, travel agencies, and other businesses that just happened to share a name with a restaurant.
I seem to recall reading that places could not be deleted. Is this still true? If that problem has also been solved, I have some candidates for deletion that I can pass along to the staff.
re: squid kun
Places still can't be deleted, but you can edit the title to say "Name- DELETE" and we'll clean those up when we are able to.

The Huffington Post is known for its relentless pursuit of mastering search engine optimization techniques and creating content that people want to read. Now, The Huffington Post wants to give extend that expertise into a new revenue opportunity by creating content sites for brands. Ad Age reports that the new content sites will likely be white-labeled versions of the Huffington Post publishing platform, and brands could either manage the sites themselves once they're up and running or The Huffington Post can manage the sites on an ongoing basis by helping with content creation, curation (including content from The Huffington Post), and distribution.
The reason for this new push is simple. Brands are realizing they need to be in the content publishing business. Content marketing is powerful, but few brands have the in-house talent and expertise to instantly be great publishers. The Huffington Post has been perfecting its publishing strategy for several years, and brands could surely benefit from that experience.
For media companies, giving brands an opportunity to own a space on a media website has been a marketing strategy for years, but bringing the media company to the brand is a new twist that has a really good chance of working — assuming the price is right. Rumor has it that The Huffington Post will urge participating brands to use parent company AOL's Devil ads or other AOL proprietary ads on their white-labeled sites. However, the AOL advertising team claims this won't be a requirement (at least not yet).
Participating brands will also get access to the same analytics and content performance reports that The Huffington Post uses to manage its own content strategy. Of course, it can be assumed that much of the behind-the-scenes performance analysis that The Huffington Post does is coveted intellectual property. It remains to be seen if the reports brands will get truly are the same ones that The Huffington Post uses. Even a confidentiality agreement could be risky for The Huffington Post in this area.
According to Ad Age, a major consumer goods advertiser is already in discussions with The Huffington Post (through Razorfish) to create a branded website with lifestyle content. We'll have to wait to see the rest of this story play out. What do you think?

Single-molecule biophysics research group
University of California, Berkeley
Our lab combines molecular biology and biophysical techniques to understand mechanisms that underlie the cellular organization and motility. Single-molecule imaging and optical trapping allow us to directly observe molecular motions, time courses of reactions and heterogeneity in subpopulations of proteins. One of our major goals is to understand how microtubular motors work individually and collectively to power intracellular transport and organismal motility. Another research focus is to determine how DNA-associated proteins alter the structure and spatial organization of DNA by using superresolution imaging techniques.
Our lab is located in Stanley Hall and Birge Hall at the University of California Berkeley.
A preview discussing our G-quadruplex work gets published in Structure.
A review on molecular motors and fluorescence gets published in FEBS Letters.

WHAT IT IS: A two-piece set that gives you healthy, voluminous hair that lasts all day long. Includes Oscar Blandi Volumizing Spray and Jasmine Protein Mist. (Size: each 8.45fl oz)
Volumizing Spray: Designed to target the root area as well as the entire hairstyle, the easy-to-use Volumizing Spray adds lift, fullness, and bounce. Enriched with wheat protein, it not only provides lasting, flexible hold, it also strengthens and fortifies the hair with regular use by multiplying the width of each hair strand and forming an invisible scaffold on the hair.
Jasmine Protein Mist: Helps refresh your look the next day or throughout the day. This unique re-styling aid infuses a previously styled hair shaft with soy and wheat proteins and allows hair to withstand a second or third application of heat and abuse, remolding your look when using a flat/curling iron or blow dryer. This product prevents the static and overdrying of hair.
HOW TO USE IT: Prior to styling, spray the Protein Mist onto damp hair to detangle and fortify. Next, spray the volumizing spray on hair roots and use a wide-toothed comb to evenly distribute. Heat is necessary for the performance of this product. Use the Protein Mist as often as needed throughout the day to refresh your style.
Brand: Oscar Blandi
"In passion, lies beauty" is the philosophy of NYC-based hair stylist and salon magnate Oscar Blandi, whose clientele includes the likes of Sofia Vergara and Kelly Ripa. In addition to creating tomorrow's hair trends, Blandi maintains his own line of professional-grade hair care products that smooth, straighten, and spiral locks with ease. Blandi's paraben- and sulfate-free Pronto volumizing shampoo and dry shampoo powder restructure your hair and add moisture, while his root touch-up pens temporarily hide gray strands. Nourishing treatments, glossing creams, and hair lift thickening and strengthening serums will help you achieve that salon-fresh look in no time.

Chris Schmidt competes Sunday in the final round of the 76th Signal Mountain Invitational golf tournament.Photo by John Rawlston.
The competition, for Chris Schmidt, is the golf course and not the other competitors.
"I don't look at the little scoreboards because I'm still playing the golf course," Schmidt said. "It's me and the golf course. I didn't really pay attention to the other guys."
Schmidt played a manicured Signal Mountain Golf and Country Club better than more than 100 competitors to win the Signal Mountain Invitational on Sunday just before sunset.
"I enjoy the competition, and it's about me against the course and how I handle myself and the internal battle," Schmidt said. "This win is going to give me a lot of confidence going forward in other events."
Schmidt bogeyed the last two holes, shot a final-round even-par 71 to finish at 8-under 205 and win the SMI by four strokes over Richard Spangler.
Philip Guess finished third at 213, Richard Keene was fourth at 214, while Matt Robertson and Tom Schreiner tied for fifth. Only two players broke par in the final round which was delayed about an hour due to thunder.
Robertson began the final round in second place and three behind Schmidt. Robertson fell out of contention after a triple-bogey on No. 6 and a bogey on No. 8. He dropped to nine shots off the lead and seven away from Spangler in second and finished with a 78.
"Have you ever been to a party that you weren't invited to?" Robertson said after No. 8. "That's what this is like."
Spangler began Sunday four behind Schmidt. He never pulled closer than three strokes. He trailed by six after a four-putt (the first from the fringe) double-bogey on No. 12.
"I wanted to take some chances and just didn't get it done," said Spangler, who was caddied by Andrew Black. "We had trouble reading greens on the back side, and I couldn't get comfortable with the putter."
Schmidt bogeyed three of his final five holes. But he had plenty of breathing room, and it would have taken a catastrophic collapse for him to lose grasp of the trophy.
"I didn't pay much attention to it, but I never felt a whole lot of heat," Schmidt said. "I finally looked [at a scoreboard] on 15 and figured I wasn't going to have to do something pretty crazy to lose."

Economists say P2P file-sharing fuels art
Of course the entertainment Cartel aren't interested in art, they only care about profit, which is why they've been screwing the musicians and their customers since recorded music was invented. The Beatles comparison was not a very good one either, as no one expects zero copyright. If copyright was a sane length of time, (say 14 years, as US Congress enacted in the original act over there), the Beatles would have continued to benefit from their recorded labours for the life of the band, and then some.

My particular scorn for this sort of tosh is not limited to Jews, or Christians, or and other Sons of Abraham. No, I have scorn for anyone who believes any of that supernatural rubbish. Ever read anything about Hinduism? or Zoroastrianism come to that. Hard to believe that anyone can say with a straight face "Yes, I really do believe that Aeshma can be driven away by the recitation of a prayer". Bloody rubbish, the whole lot of it.

Dumb Big Publishers
Thanks for the article. In common with other commenters, I am very keen on an e-book reader, but it must be DRM free, and WIFI is a must. The publishers need to realise that their business model will change too, much as the music cartels are finding. Good luck with all that. Corporate greed and ignorance will prevent any of this coming to pass.

However, you seem to have missed the point that the people who make the most money out of the current electoral system are also the ones more or less in control of it, so the chances of any meaningful reforms taking place are nil.
I would never use the term democracy to describe the US system. When the rich rule, its Oligarchy. The ancient Greeks used it, and it worked quite well for them, although most Greek city states had to supress revolts every now and again.

Trieste is in Italy, not France. It was very nearly part of Tito's Yugoslavia after the last war, but my Grandfather stopped that happening right quick. (Well ok, the rest of the New Zealand Division helped a bit I suppose.)
Microsoft UK cracks another head over grey software
parallel importing
Here in NZ parallel importing was made specifically legal a few years ago, resulting in huge drops in prices for most durable consumer goods. I'm not sure about software (as a standalone product, rather than bundled with a pc), but if you want to buy a TV, for example, there are outlets here that will sell you a parallel imported name brand TV, for perhaps a third less than the "Official Reseller". You just have to make the judgment call as to whether the Parallel importer will be around long enough to honour any warranty. I see ads in the Saturday papers for Ipods at $150 below the usual retail price. The world did not end when the new laws were enacted, despite what the big retailers predicted.

- Binding: Hardcover
- Era: Persian Gulf War
- Number of Pages: 288
- Subject: Persian Gulf War
- Date Available: September 2009
On 26 February 1991, cavalry troops of "Cougar Squadron," the 2nd Squadron of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, charged out of a sandstorm during Operation Desert Storm and caught Iraq's Republican Guard Corps in the open desert along the North-South grid line of a military map referred to as the "73 Easting." Taken by surprise, the defending Iraqi armor brigade was swept away in salvos of American tank and missile fire in what became the U.S. Army's largest tank battle since World War II.
Douglas Macgregor, the man who trained and led Cougar Squadron into battle, recounts two stories. One is the inspiring tale of the valiant American soldiers, sergeants, lieutenants, and captains who fought and won the battle. The other is a story of failed generalship, one that explains why Iraq's Republican Guard escaped, ensuring that Saddam Hussein's regime survived and America's war with Iraq dragged on.
Certain to provoke debate, this is the latest book from the controversial and influential military veteran whose two previous books, Breaking the Phalanx and Transformation Under Fire, are credited with influencing thinking and organization inside America's ground forces and figure prominently in current discussions about military strategy and defense policies. Its fast-moving battle narrative, told from the vantage point of Macgregor's Abrams tank, and its detailed portraits of American soldiers, along with vivid descriptions of the devastating technology of mounted warfare, will captivate anyone with a taste for adventure as well as an interest in contemporary military history.
Col. Douglas Macgregor, USA (Ret.), is a decorated combat veteran with a PhD in international relations from the
Macgregor's article in the Sept 2009 issue of Defense News: "There's No Strategy to Win in Afghanistan [9]"
Macgregor was interviewed by NPR's Guy Raz on "All Things Considered [10]."

Continuous commitment to Mannitol development to Support the growth of the Pharmaceutical Market Segments
Mannitol has a share of the most desirable qualities that formulators seek in mineral, sugar or even polymeric excipients: notably a characteristic low chemical reactivity, an extraordinarily low level of hygroscopicity making it one of the "driest" products for moisture sensitive formulation, coupled with a pleasant taste and mouthfeel.
Since the 1970's, Roquette has been continuously working on improving the remarkable intrinsic properties by providing mannitol with DC properties, self disintegration, low endotoxin level, leading to the creation of the largest mannitol range for the pharmaceutical industry: PEARLITOL® C, SD, DC, FLASH and PF.

NEW ORLEANS — A federal grand jury has indicted three current and two former New Orleans police officers in the shooting death of a man and burning of his body after Hurricane Katrina.
The 11-count indictment issued Friday accuses former Officer David Warren, former Lieutenant Robert Italiano and current Lieutenants Dwayne Scheuermann and Travis McCabe and Officer Gregory McRae.
Warren is charged with shooting and killing 31-year-old Henry Glover on Sept. 2, 2005.
Federal prosecutors say Warren was immediately arrested and is in federal custody. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Prevent Re-sprouts to Reduce Costs by Saving Time, Labor
Vegetation management is a constant challenge for utility site managers. Which weeds are gaining traction? What is the most economical and effective way to control them? Let's go below the soil surface to help control brush species at their roots for cleaner, safer sites.

Prevent Vegetation Re-sprouts to Save Time and Labor
The vegetation management job is never done. From planning the year's management program to responding to storm damage, utility managers and applicators are busy enough ensuring uninterrupted power without having to think about brush that reappears. With ever-tightening budgets, it can be tempting to hope for effective control through mechanical means, but that's wishful thinking for many sites. If you're not including strategic herbicide applications in your control program, you face the risk of tackling the same brush problems again the next year or even later in the same season.
An integrated vegetation management (IVM) program with appropriate herbicide applications can help you reduce operational costs, since cutting and mowing alone encourage the biological response of regrowth. The only way to ensure utility crews won't face the same brush and weeds again is to take plants out at the roots.

Curbing Outages
Archie Dickens, system right of way coordinator and ISA utility arborist for Coast Electric Power Association (CEPA), manages more than 13,000 acres of rights of way near the southern Mississippi coast in Harrison, Hancock and Pearl River counties. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, CEPA had not used herbicides in its management programs since the early 1990s.
Unfortunately, skipping herbicides allowed for vigorous growth. The 2007 hurricane disaster caused vegetation-related issues to become the single leading cause of reported power outages in that region. Taking control of the situation, Dickens and his team began using herbicides in the organization's IVM program with low rates of Krenite S brush control agent. After four years of including various herbicides in its program, the electric cooperative reported 63 percent fewer outages from vegetation-related issues, including encroachment on distribution lines.
In addition to increased productivity, Dickens helped CEPA reduce overall expenses and public complaints. "At a time when fuel prices continue to escalate along with the rising rates of equipment and labor, we have reduced our cost per mile for rights of way maintenance by almost 10 percent, mostly due to tree removal and selective herbicide applications," says Dickens. "If you can tackle a weed's root system, you will have the advantage. In 2007, CEPA received approximately one complaint for every 47 miles sprayed with herbicides. But as we became more aggressive in our spraying technique, rights of way began clearing up and complaints fell to only one for every 174 miles sprayed in 2011."
Low-Use-Rate Advantages
A successful IVM program is essential for providing reliable service, and newer herbicides have low use rates that boost productivity. DuPont™ Viewpoint® herbicide features both a low use rate and a dry-blended formulation that can significantly reduce inventory, hauling, tank mixing and waste disposal. Viewpoint® controls a broad range of difficult brush species. And since it is not a federally restricted-use herbicide, utility crews have more flexibility about where and when they apply Viewpoint®.
Incorporating herbicides into an IVM program can save crews time and reduce or eliminate the costs and pressures of repeated treatments to control regrowth. The result is reliable site maintenance and safe rights of way through effective brush control, while reducing costs and public concerns.
Multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) is a perennial shrub known to invade rights of way and create dense thickets that disturb and prevent native plant species from thriving. Originally planted as a natural fence or windbreak, its prolific nature and tendency to invade areas quickly classified multiflora rose as a noxious weed.
Multiflora rose can grow to lengths of 13 feet with 5 to 6 feet of upright stem and tips arching toward the ground. Found throughout most of the United States, it is tolerant of various soil types, moisture levels and light conditions. This easy attitude allows multiflora rose to thrive in roadsides, open fields and pastures. It is identified by its arching stalks, white to pink flowers that appear in May or June, and bright red rose hips that develop in summer. These small red fruits stay with the plant throughout the winter and are popular food for birds and wildlife, promoting seed distribution and continuing the spread of this invasive weed.
Product Spotlight
Fierce, Effective Brush Control
The toughest brush species don't stand a chance against Viewpoint® herbicide. Its superior capabilities take brush out at the roots, reducing re-sprouting and saving time and money. While Viewpoint® delivers the most complete broad-spectrum brush control available in a single product.
Viewpoint® is easy to use and provides effective control of ash, boxelder, cottonwood, huisache, mesquite, multifora rose and other hardy brush species. Incorporating Viewpoint® in a vegetation management plan will decrease mechanical control, including bush hogging, mowing and hand-cutting, to help maximize worker safety. And with reduced tank mixes, crews won't be required to haul pallets of heavy materials to sites. Viewpoint® can be applied with ground or aerial spray equipment. Ground applications can be made using either broadcast or spot treatments.
In areas where a grass understory is desirable, DuPont™ Streamline® herbicide can be used.

Red Cross Phlebotomy Training
Discovering the best training program takes time and intelligent research. If you are looking for the best training for an entry level position in the healthcare industry, then a phlebotomy training program is a great program to consider. A well developed set of venipuncture techniques is essential for employment in a broad range of professions including: blood drawers, laboratory technicians, and most skilled nursing positions. No one knows blood better than the American Red Cross which is why an accredited American Red Cross Phlebotomy Training program should be a carefully considered venue for aspiring healthcare workers.
What is Venipuncture?
The simplest definition of venipuncture is the perforation of a vein in order to draw blood, instill medication, or institute intravenous feeding. Rigid stylets or steel needles are most commonly used. A qualified phlebotomy training program teaches its students the many variations that are most frequently utilized in the healthcare setting. A Red Cross Phlebotomy Training program focuses on the aseptic techniques that prevent disease transmission as well as painless insertion of the needle used to draw the blood. In the best case scenario, a competent phlebotomy training program will graduate skilled, knowledgeable professionals capable of painless venipuncture in hospital, outpatient, and blood donor settings.
How to Locate a Local Red Cross Phlebotomy Training Program
Not all local chapters offer phlebotomy training so you may have to dig a little to locate a Red Cross Phlebotomy Training program near you. Go to the American Red Cross website and enter your zip code to find your local chapter. Most chapters will have a tab to click on which will list which classes they offer. If your local chapter does not offer the Red Cross Phlebotomy Training program, give them a call to find out where the closest class is offered. As a volunteer agency, the Red Cross is more than willing to locate this information for you.
What is Included in a Typical Phlebotomy Training Program?
The American Red Cross Phlebotomy Training program covers scientific theory (anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology), hands-on applications (laboratory specimen collection, analysis, and equipment), and the people skills (safety and legal issues) necessary to successfully perform venipuncture in an entry-level position.
The successful applicant will be able to pass a physical exam, be a high school graduate, and complete an interview with the program director. Upon completion of the program, a minimum of two or more successful venipunctures must be demonstrated to attain certification. Knowledge of patient legal rights and an understanding of the cardiovascular system as it pertains to phlebotomy must be also demonstrated. In many locations both day and evening classes are offered.

And every Glock COMES with a little loader that makes the process easier. But those special-made MagLula things come in really handy.
A novice would probably not have thought of a loader. They might have neglected to even buy one...but then maybe not.
It is really that first range experience where your thumbs are kinda worn out from loading magazines for a couple hours that convinces you to buy a loader.
I have never loaded a magazine with more than 15 rounds. But I would imagine that a 33 round mags would be very dificult to get the last 2 or 3 rounds into.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
now we have a good use for the ''texting teen '' that is prevailent in todays society......put down that phone and load my mags,since you have calloused thumbs! the calico .22 has a capacity of 100 rds in its top feed magazine . a terrorist could inflict severe damage with a pair of calicos ,cross- strung on his/her body like bandeleros .
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
The Calico 9mm comes with either a 50 round or a 100 round mag. IT also ejects the rounds out the bottom not the side.And i shot mine with one hand no problem it is a semiauto not fullauto gun. it came in two types pistol or carbine.
M950 pistol
M900 carbine
It had windup clips, And you could buy a cliploader. AND yes i did get one lol
