Microbial Pie, or What Did You Feed the Neighbors?
Theresa Hornstein
The Emergency Room seems busier than usual, and the cases coming in are all too similar. Everyone seems to be suffering from the same symptoms - abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. Once the hospital staff identify the bacteria causing the problems, the next step is tracking down the source. This case uses a story of microbial contamination, combined with lab experiments, to teach skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and experimental design and analysis. It was developed for a general microbiology course primarily composed of health care students and biology majors planning to transfer to four-year schools. There are three labs associated with this case.
|E. coli; Escherichia coli; microbes; bacteria; antibiotic-resistant bacteria; food contamination; food poisoning; experimental design
|Topical Area:
|Educational Level:
|High school, Undergraduate lower division
|Laboratory, Student Presentations

I Lost My iPod
Two nights ago I left my iPod in a cab. I hailed it at 3:00 AM after working an 18 hour day of lifting and moving. I put the iPod down to take my wallet out and forgot to pick it up. I didn't take notice of the cab company (there are at least 12 companies in Toronto). I called a few of the majors up and left a description, but I am not optimistic.
I just want people to understand that they need to label their iPods. I had looked into various services of pre-made stickers with serial numbers or having it engraved but I never got around to it. Even if someone found it and wanted to return it they couldn't.
I bought the 10GB model in August 2002 and I can honestly say that I have used it almost every single day. My next paycheque is going to be dedicated to buying a new 10GB model, but I wish it didn't have to come to that. I can't afford the 15 or 30GB models, but I eventually plan on buying the dock and remote.
Please people, even if it's an ugly sticker with your email address on it, please label your iPod.

Another way to label your iPod is to write a small textfile with your name and address and store it as a note.
Posted by Henrik on May 31, 2003 at 2:07 AM (CDT)
good idea, some people may not be clever enough to find the notes, or even think of looking in them
Posted by Losimagic in UK on May 31, 2003 at 2:20 AM (CDT)
my e-mail adress and my name are engraved ;)
And just a little tip:
i wanted to buy the 10 GB iPod and order the dock and remote, but all together, that would have been almost the same price as the 15 GB iPod with dock, remote and case included, so i ordered the new 15 gig…
Check the prices !

Damn, now I'm really scared :-(
Posted by hellRaven on May 31, 2003 at 3:38 AM (CDT)
Label it? Do you think people on this earth are honest enough to actually contact you once they find a free iPod for themselves?
They'll probably rip off the sticker and keep it for themselves…
Posted by Rish on May 31, 2003 at 3:52 AM (CDT)
they wouldnt have all the stuff so how would they use the iPod?
Posted by ti on May 31, 2003 at 4:27 AM (CDT)
you can buy replacement docks/cables, and all you need is the ephpod software

i feel sorry for his loss, but i'm one who would never sit my 30 gig $499 investment down anywhere in public but in my pocket or carry case. even when i let others hold it to look at or listen to, its never out of my sight.
Posted by jsmoove7 on May 31, 2003 at 6:02 AM (CDT)
Can't afford it? It's only a $100 extra. Go to Best Buy (Do they have those in Canada?) and use the no interest payments for 6 months option, and pay $60 bucks a month.
Posted by TiMike on May 31, 2003 at 6:19 AM (CDT)
Sorry `bout your loss…"I feel your pain." Thinking….How about a future enhancement to "brand" the ipod's firmware/cmos or lock via password etc. the ipod in some way to which the ipod would "phone home" whenever it was connected to the net via itunes/driver etc, as well as making it unusable… This might be a good way to trackdown a srupulous ipod thief or, atleast make it unusable. Intern having a message of some sort to drop it in a mailbox, with the apples address on it postage paid via apple. Then you could be able to get it back simmilar to lost keys or cellphone… If it was registered… Just an idea.
Posted by ej on May 31, 2003 at 7:38 AM (CDT)
I actually work for a Mac reseller, so I get them at dealer cost. I know the 15 Gig is about the same as the 10 GB plus the accessories. I just want to replace it as soon as possible, and then buy the accesories later. I may get a 15 if my paycheque is big enough.
I have some faith that some people would return it if found. Remember, most non-technical people wouldn't even know what it is and once the batteries are gone it would be totally useless to most people.
When I called the cab companies to file a report it took me about 2 minutes to describe what it was and what it looked like. The operators had no clue what an iPod was, or an MP3 Player for that matter.
Thanks for the condolances everybody, but this post is more of a public service than a call for pity.
jsmoove7, like I said in the original post I was working for 18 hours mainly doing heavy lifting getting our new store ready for opening. When I got in the cab at 3:00 AM I was barely awake. Under normal circumstances I know where my iPod is at all times. Under those exhausting circumstances I slipped for a split second. It cost me my iPod. I think most people are like us, very careful but we are all capable of a brief lapse and that's why I recommend the labeling. I am glad to hear you are so careful with yours and I hope noboidy else loses their iPod.
Thanks again, everybody.

You see, this is why I always label my underwear.

Kenneth Armstrong: do you often lose that in cabs? :)
Posted by Losimagic in UK on May 31, 2003 at 7:52 AM (CDT)
as a citizen of toronto, and knowing the pain of losing something in a cab, ill give you a word of advice: you wont get it back mate. Sorry if it sounds harsh, but its like finding a grain of sand in the atlantic. There are atleast a dozen cab companies, i recommend you go back to the place you tagged it down, and get a list of all the cabs you see ( names of them ), and call the comapnies ASAP.
That might help. If you had a good driver who cares about his customers.

Sorry to hear about your loss man. Just out of curiousity, what is the dealer cost?
Posted by gooer on May 31, 2003 at 9:06 AM (CDT)
Did you register your Pod with Apple before it got lost? If someone were honest and intent on seeing that the lost Pod gets back to the rightful owner, they could contact Apple with the serial number on the back of the unit and I would think that Apple would try to get in touch with you if the unit were registered.
If you have not registered, I would do that ASAP. Long shot, but might get lucky, you never know….......

Federal vs. State Policy Comparison: War on Vice
Understanding the roles of the state and federal government in the current "war on drugs" is important this, of course leading to our ability to decipher the current policies attached. Current policy is based in federal statutes and legal precedence's from the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act of 1970 to the Drug Abuse Prevention and Control act of 2010, there has been a standard set within the United States regarding personal vice-related crime. One approach in particular is the current legislation in various states concerning medical marijuana use and the federal approach to this. The object of the following article is to look at the federal law enforcement and judiciary as well as local state approaches, Arizona in particular. Addressed within the paper will be policy development and the implementation of the above-mentioned policies, by both state and federal governments.
In 1970 the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) act was passed, the intent was to allow the prosecution of multiple "arms" of crime with a relatively simple approach categorizing all involved under an umbrella categorization. This act of Congress can and has been applied to common street gangs and global organized crime structures. This act of congress created new types of crime, and brought back the idea of property forfeiture as a punishment for crimes or suspected involvement in crimes. One example of a new type of crime would be that of someone who sold a vehicle to a suspected member of organized crime. Under the RICO act, the person who sold the vehicle could be held to account and have his entire business seized as "evidence" of the crime committed.
The RICO act declares it a crime to (a) use income derived from a pattern of racketeering activity to acquire an interest in an enterprise affecting interstate commerce, (b) acquire or maintain an interest in an enterprise affecting interstate commerce through a pattern of racketeering activity, (c) conduct or participate through a pattern of racketeering activity in the affairs of an enterprise affecting interstate commerce, or (d) conspire to carry out any of the foregoing actions. Understandably absent from RICO is any required mental state: violation of RICO does not require intent, recklessness, willfulness, or even knowledge on the part of the accused. (18 U.S.C. §1961 et seq.)
In 2010, the Drug Abuse Prevention and Control act was passed and as with the RICO act, new types of crime stand to be generated as a direct result.
Congress makes the following declarations:
(1) Many of the drugs included within this subchapter have a useful and legitimate medical purpose and are necessary to maintain the health and general welfare of the American people.
(2) The illegal importation, manufacture, distribution, and possession and improper use of controlled substances have a substantial and detrimental effect on the health and general welfare of the American people.
(3) A major portion of the traffic in controlled substances flows through interstate and foreign commerce. (21 USC CHAPTER 13, 2010)
Federal agencies are committed to prosecuting and stopping what is deemed as illegal behavior and use the RICO act and the Drug Abuse Prevention and Control act to do so. The Drug Enforcement Administration currently employs more than 10,000 persons and has an annual budget of more than two billion dollars annually (DEA Staffing & Budget, 2010); this total budget does not include the amounts spent by the states individually or expenses incurred through lost incomes, and incarceration. Over 5000 of those employees are special agents tasked with the enforcement of the above-mentioned laws. Because federal law enforcement officials are tasked with enforcing federal, state, and local laws jurisdiction is always given to federal agents when necessary.
Legally by using the "supremacy clause" of the Constitution, the Federal government is allowed to enforce federal laws regardless of current state statutes. An example of this follows, "Winslow Norton, 26, of Lafayette, and Abraham Norton, 23, of Oakland, were arrested this morning, after law enforcement served multiple search warrants in relation to the investigation. The indictment was filed on October 25, 2007" (McEnry, 2007 pg. 1) Although these brothers had violated federal law, state law allowed them to both manufacture and sell marijuana to those with a medical license. Not only had these brothers been licensed by the state, they also had followed protocol completely, experiencing regular checks by Almeda County sheriffs and paying their taxes. This is an example of misuse of federal law within a state. Drug related legislation is not specifically designated within the Constitution so the Supremacy clause should have been found null and void in this case. Drug-related federal legislation while being enacted under treasury guidelines does not constitute a willful tax-related violation, though it is technically a tax code violation.
This case could have been successfully argued in favor of the defendant using the Tenth Amendment, and prior case law with regards to states' rights superseding federal involvement in many cases, most notably the 1997 decision, Printz v. United States (95-1478), 521 U.S. 898. "It is the very principle of separate state sovereignty that such a law offends, and no comparative assessment of the various interests can overcome that fundamental defect." (para. 31) This case was referring to the Brady Law, which at the time was an attempt to impose sanctions against states by the federal government with regard to firearms. However, the decision rests on the idea that state sovereignty is a founding principle of the United States of America.
Within the state of Arizona, drug laws and regulations mimic those of the federal government with varying degrees of punishment existing based on the offense. The RICO act has been used in the state of Arizona as a profitable venture for local law enforcement. According to how the RICO act is set up, local agents and organizations can keep a certain percentage of funds or contraband seized, and after auctions are complete uses that money within the local departments. In 2007 Maricopa County sheriff's deputies shut down a gambling ring, "The announcement of the bust also came with pronouncements of a potential windfall for the participating law-enforcement agencies. Sheriff's officials boasted that law-enforcement agencies expected to collect $145 million in confiscated assets before Operation High Stakes was done." (Hensley, 2009 pg. 1) However, after the case went to trial and charges were dismissed against key persons the money and property was returned. This is one example of the use of the RICO act within state boundaries by state law enforcement versus federal agents.
Current policy regarding drug use in Arizona varies more than many states, "Arizona diverts all its addicted offenders from prisons to probation, in line with the results of a referendum provision called the Drug Medicalization, Prevention and Control Act, which Arizona voters approved by a 65 to 35 percent margin." (Law.jrank, 2010) This should not be taken to assume that drug related offenses are not punished with incarceration, however, it can be noted that treatment is used more often for those who are currently addicted to illegal or abused legal substances.
Another example of drug related charges being reversed that involve the law enforcement community and our state appellate court follows, "The state appellate court has overturned the cocaine-transportation conviction of a Canadian man passing through Flagstaff after ruling the search of his vehicle was illegal. The reason: The Arizona Department of Public Safety officer who stopped Alvin J. Sweeney, 53, didn't have reasonable suspicion to search his vehicle." (Hendricks, 2010 pg. 1)
As can be seen there are differences existing in the state versus federal approach to current legislative approaches with regard to drugs, and vice-related legislation. Many of those differences stem from the desire of the federal government to have complete control over certain aspects of the law, whereas the states in their attempt to curb crime within their borders are at odds with the federal approach in many cases. Policy differences can cause confusion and as has been shown, can allow for potential conflicts within the law enforcement and judicial communities. A potential for loss of states' rights as outlined in the Tenth Amendment can occur when cases are not argued using that important amendment to the Constitution.

Please understand that I am not supporting the current policy as it is a failure, in fact I am attempting to shed light on that failure. Also understand that as a result of research made I am quite sure at this point in time that the regardless of whether we "follow" the constitution or not the same result will occur. After all the Constitution in effect allows many of these "failures" and encourages them. I would prefer that this country were still under the "guidance" of the Articles of Confederation, of course of that were the case our nation would not be as large, and our military would not be killing innocent people and losing young men and women citizens of this nation to support political and corporate goals that have nothing to do with freedom.

Positron Emission Tomography
(PET)En Español (Spanish Version)
Positron emission tomography (PET) produces images that show the amount of functional activity in the living tissue being studied.
PET Scans of the Brain
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
Parts of the Body Involved
PET can be performed on a variety of body tissues, including:
- Whole body
- Brain
- Lungs
- Breast
- Heart
Reasons for Procedure
A PET scan may be done for a number of reasons, including to:
- Look for tumors or assess tumor level of activity after treatment
- Assess causes for memory disorders such as Alzheimer's disease
- Determine the cause of seizures
- Determine if patients with uncontrolled seizures might benefit from surgery
- Assess brain metabolism in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome
- Learn how blood is flowing in the heart to assess for coronary artery disease and to check for heart muscle damage
- Help understand how drugs are processed by the body
Risk Factors for Complications During the Procedure
If you are allergic to the radioactive substance administered for a PET scan, you may be at risk for complications.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
- Wear comfortable clothes.
- Do not eat or drink anything except water for at least four hours before the scan.
- Check with your doctor about taking your regular medications.
- If you have diabetes , ask the doctor for specific diet recommendations for test day since accurate results depend on normal body chemistry levels.
- Tell your doctor if you might be pregnant.
During Procedure
You will lie still on a table while the scan takes place.
No anesthesia is necessary.
Description of the Procedure
A nurse or technologist administers a radioactive substance. This may be done through an injection, or in some cases, you will be asked to breathe in a gas with the substance. The compound travels through the blood to the area of the body under study. It takes between 30 to 90 minutes for the substance to be absorbed by the tissue under study. Once the substance has been absorbed, the scan can take place.
You lie on a table and are moved into a machine that looks like a large, square-shaped doughnut. This machine detects and records the energy levels emitted from the substance that was injected earlier. The images are viewed on a nearby computer monitor. The scan lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. You may be asked to perform specific tasks before or during the test. For example, during a heart PET scan, you may be asked to walk on a treadmill.
After Procedure
Drink plenty of fluids to help the radioactive substance pass from your body.
How Long Will It Take?
The whole procedure takes at least two hours.
Will It Hurt?
Except for the pinprick associated with the injection, a PET scan is a painless procedure. People who are claustrophobic (uncomfortable in closed or tight spaces) may experience some anxiety.
Possible Complications
The only possible complication is an allergic reaction to the radioactive substance.
Average Hospital Stay
You will not be admitted to the hospital for a PET scan. It is an outpatient procedure.
Postoperative Care
No special post-procedure care is necessary.
The images show activity levels as different colors or degrees of brightness. If the test has been ordered to look for a cancer, brighter colors may indicate a tumor. A radiologist with training in PET interpretation will review the images and send the results to your doctor. It may take a few days for your doctor to receive the report.

MANATEE, Fla. — A deer rested on the side of the road. Waiting, apparently. Just waiting and hoping a hunter would come along, forget the rules, aim and shoot.
The Myakka City man was fooled by a faux deer during a recent Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission operation targeting road-hunting activity. He now faces serious charges.
Brett Russel Thompson was arrested at 8:30 a.m. Saturday after shooting the robotic Bambi in the neck from the side of a rural road south of Myakka City, according to an arrest report. Thompson is charged with taking deer during closed season, discharging a firearm from a roadway and taking deer from a right-of-way. He faces up to a year in jail and $2,500 in fines if convicted.

- Publisher: Gamecock Media Group
- Release Date: Oct 26, 2007
- Summary: Dementium: The Ward tells the tale of a man who awakens to find himself alone in a mysterious, derelict hospital that is frozen in time. Confronted by the deadly, grotesque surgical experiments that wander the halls, a series of challenging puzzles and a cast of peculiar characters, he must face his deepest fears, unlock the mysteries of the hospital, and escape with his life. A completely new experience on the Nintendo DS, Dementium promises to creep you out with gory visuals and bone-chilling audio that brings the world screaming to life. [Gamecock]… Expand

Dementium: The Ward is a very noteworthy title within the Nintendo DS portfolio, not just for being a good game in the first person action genre -not so crowded in the console-, but also for its interesting plot and an intriguing, full of tension atmosphere.
The FPS genre is extremely rare on the system which means that the amount of quality titles is even rarer. Dementium sets a new standard on the system for presentation and visuals as well as delivering the first truly engrossing horror title for Nintendo's micro-console.
Dementium: The Ward demonstrates that you can make a good survival horror game even on the Nintendo DS. The graphics are impressive, really fluid, and the controls work great (but only if you don't play for too much time). The game seems to be a little too linear and the difficulty is low, but it's worth a try if you want something different for your DS.
Dementium may not be the greatest FPS experience there ever was, but, for what it is, it is quite an enjoyable romp.
In spite of some medium-sized annoyances, there are no game-breaking problems here, and there's a lot of enjoyment to be had for players who like a sprinkle of terror on their gaming pie.
It will make you scream, but not because of fear. It will cause you pain, but not in a figured way. And it will give you nightmares, but for motives that are not even related with its storyline.

RobertNov 2, 2007This game is truly scary, great sounds add to the creepiness. The use of the stylus here is second only to a pc, controls are very good. It looks really good for the ds as well. Good storyline, it's both horror and thriller, good plot twists. A GREAT entry in the horror genre.… Expand
AnthonyZ.Oct 29, 2007It's actually a pretty good game... It's got good atmosphere, good gameplay... The only thing it's lacking is variation.
AdrianM.Oct 29, 2007This game is really good and scary, but you have to play it at night with all the lights off and hooked up to your surround system to scare the heck out of out. Honestly, under these conditions, I don't think I've played a scarier game than this one. So if you're a fan of horror games and own a DS, then this is the game for you. I loved it. 9/10.… Expand
GioDFeb 29, 2008We need more game like this on the DS. Dementium is a FANTASTIC debut game from new publisher Gamecock, and new developer Renegade Kid. To sum up the story of the game, your trapped in a very derelict and bloodstained hospital but you have no idea how you got there, why you are there, and no memory of who you are/were. Ofcourse there are all sorts of mostrosities in the hospital all iching to kill you while you explore and look for answers. I really can't stress this enough but Renegade Kid did a superb job here. Screenshots DO NOT do this game justice. It looks and runs beautifully while you play, without dropping any framerate or slowdown when multiple enemies are on screen. Music is very tense, atmosphere is very dark and disturbing, graphics are some of the best that i've seen on the DS, and the controls (this being first person) are very easy to learn and get accustomed to. If you crave for something that is truly different from the norm on the DS, due yourself the huge favor and pick up Dementium. A terriffic survival horror game.… Expand
Oct 28, 2013One of the best games i have ever played, on any system or console to be honest.

I would recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of video games.… Expand

Jun 11, 2011Really frustrating and hard to get into. The comparison to Doom 3 and Silent Hill is based only upon the fact that it appears that way. Really it's nowhere near as good as either one of those games and, despite a few frustrating moments, I was able to beat it in a matter of an hour or two. The storyline is mediocre and lacks any real interesting features, and the monsters look laughable (I know the graphics aren't the best, but at the very least they could've spend more time on character design). This game really isn't worth it. For some there may be something to enjoy, but for me it was an annoying bore.… Expand

FSU OL Roderick Johnson has been a revelation since entering the starting lineup two weeks ago, but the true freshman is about to be tested for the first time in his young career.
Johnson will likely draw a matchup against elite DE Dante Fowler for a majority of Saturday's contest against UF. FSU coach Jimbo Fisher was asked earlier this week whether Fowler would be a "good challenge" for the left tackle, and Fisher was quick to correct the reporter.
"Great challenge," Fisher said. "He's a great challenge for anybody."
The Seminoles have allowed just one sack in the past two games since Johnson made his first start at left tackle, but Johnson has not seen a player quite like Fowler, who has 11 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, 15 quarterback hurries, and two forced fumbles to go along with 53 tackles.
FSU teammates insist that they are confident that Johnson can handle Fowler (6-3, 277).
"[Johnson is] going to get enough exposure in practice going against our guys," FSU OL Josue Matias...Read more
FSU DB Jalen Ramsey's role is that of a villain for the Seminoles and he likes it that way.
The sophomore now finds his home at the Star position – a hybrid role combining the responsibilities of a linebacker and a defensive back – and has enjoyed the transition, utilizing the versatility of the position with his unique skill set.
Needing only a half a tackle for a loss (9.5 TFL), Ramsey – whose 25 starts tops the defense – can become the only player in FSU history to record double-digit tackles for loss and passes defended (11 PD).
"It's probably the most exciting job on the field – I think it is," Ramsey said. "I like to play with the quarterbacks. I like to play with the receivers too. They think they know when I'm blitzing sometimes and they think they know when I'm covering. I like to mess with them. I add a little flavor to it sometimes, but we're taught to disguise."
Ramsey is not shy on the football field, talking trash, backing it up and striking fear in the opposition. He's a...Read more
The highly-anticipated matchup between FSU WR Rashad Greene and UF CB Vernon Hargreaves is being overplayed to a certain extent.
Sure, Greene and Hargreaves will line up across each other plenty Saturday and the matchup will be entertaining to watch. But the Gators are not going to have their sophomore shadow FSU's all-time leading receiver for the entirety of the contest.
"They are going to be matched up on each other at times. There will be times where he won't be," Gators defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin said. "It won't be one of those deals where he's with him the whole game."
Hargreaves is UF's best cover corner and is capable of slowing down a receiver of Greene's caliber.
"He covers very well," Greene said. "I wouldn't say he's the most physical guy, but he's showing a lot of confidence compared to last year."
Although Greene – who leads FSU with 83 catches for 1,148 yards and five touchdowns – is clearly Jameis Winston's favorite target, the Gators do not want to compromise...Read more
Anything can happen during a rivalry game, a sentiment FSU and UF players have echoed leading up to Saturday's game.
But both of these teams have distinct identities – for better or for worse – and digging into some numbers can shed light on certain matchups and who holds the advantage in various areas.
In the Red Zone
Offensively, both teams produce consistently when in the red zone.
The Gators have converted on 36 of their 39 trips inside the 20-yard line, a conversion rate of 92.3%, ranking 6th nationally in that category, with 23 of those trips have ended in a touchdown.
The Seminoles aren't far behind in that regard. Tied for 9th nationally, FSU's offense has converted 42 of its 46 trips inside the red zone – a 91.3% conversion percentage – with 29 of those ending in a touchdown.
However, unlike the Gators, the Seminoles happen to be ranked top-10 in red zone defense too, suffocating the opposition in limited space. FSU has only allowed scores on 29 of 41 trips inside the...Read more
FSU has received inquiries from representatives in the Atlanta area who are interested in bringing the Seminoles to the city for a future regular-season game, possibly against an opponent from the SEC.
A FSU spokesperson confirmed that the school has talked with representatives from the Chick-fil-A Bowl and New Atlanta Stadium about scheduling a neutral-site football game there.
"The preliminary inquiries have included several potential opponents, including some from the SEC," the spokesperson told the Orlando Sentinel.
FSU and Alabama are discussing playing a game in Atlanta to open the 2017 season, according to the Palm Beach Post. The FSU spokesperson told the Sentinel that the school has not had communication with Alabama.
FSU associate athletic director Monk Bonasorte told ESPN in February that FSU was in preliminary talks to play a game in Atlanta in 2018.
The Seminoles currently have just one out-of-conference game scheduled for the 2017 season, and that is at Florida. Alabama...Read more
It will be an uneventful award season for Jameis Winston.
FSU's quarterback was shut out of several prestigious individual awards after finalists were released for the Home Depot College Football Awards Tuesday.
Winston, before winning the 2013 Heisman Trophy, won the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback award last year and was also a finalist for the Maxwell Award, which goes to the nation's top player.
It's too early to tell whether Winston will be a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, but he's out of the picture for the Davey O'Brien and Maxwell awards. Winston's stats have certainly fallen off from last season –he's already thrown 13 interceptions, compared to 10 in 2013 and has a substantially lower passer rating – which explains why he was not invited to the Home Depot College Football Awards in Orlando on Dec. 11.
FSU WR Rashad Greene, who is the school's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, was perhaps the more surprising snub. Greene is 10th nationally in receiving...Read more

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans plans to open a staging area at
Fort Pike for the effort to protect Lake Pontchartrain from oil
advancing from the spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu, who took office Monday, said the city is
working with St. Tammany Parish, which borders the northern end of
the lake.
Lake Pontchartrain is connected to the Gulf the Rigolets and the
Chef Menteur passes. It was one of the primary conduits of storm
surge from the Gulf during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Local officials and environmentalists spent decades cleaning up
the lake and in recent years many species of wildlife have returned
to its brackish waters. Dolphins are frequent visitors and manatees
have visited.
Fort Pike, a historic landmark, was built in the early 1800s.

Mayank Shrama always a good professor, he working hard during his classes, so every student love to attend his class, but always scared to their sadu akdu strict professor. They scared from him, more than their tursty Samrat Shergill. But the fact is, only Samrat know that Mayank is very friendly type on boy, but sudden death of his wife Nupur, he become more reserved. He never scold to Samrat for Nupur's death���.and only for him, now Samrat n Gunjan are married.
After returning his class peon Suresh come near him, " Mayank sir, who Samrat sir ne apko bulaya hai, abhi."
"thik hai, main abhi aata hun."
Mayank went to Samrat's cabin. Samrat checking some files with serious expression. Mayank chuckle silently to see his serious expression����he is Mr. Samrat Shergill, the trusty of Excell College, the jovial cool dude loveguru Samrat replaced by this serious responsible family man Samrat, but kahi na kahi Mayank miss his old dude.
Mayank approach and sit on a chair, " tumne mujhe bulaya Samrat? Kuch kaam tha kya?"
Samrat lit up his face from file, "kyun? Kaam ke alawa bula nahi sakta kya?"
Mayank smile, "aisi baat nahi hai. Mai to bus aise hi����anywys baat kya hai?"
Samrat handed him an envelope, "who, yeh dekho. Invitation card, Bangalore me National Professor Summit ho raha hai. Toh main chahta hunk e tum chale jao Excell College ke representative banke!
Mayank read whole card n say ,"but dude, yeh to 6 din ke liye hai���aur main class me ek important chapter parha raha hun."
" dude, 6 din me kuch bigr nahi jayega. Aur student ko bhi apne sadu akdu professor se 6 dino k liye chutti mil jayegi."
Mayank chuckled as Samrat winked.
"thik hai, kab nikalna hai mujhe?"
"maine flight ticket book kar dia hai. Tum kal raat ko nikal jana."
Mayank open his mouth to say something, but Samrat interrupeted, "I know dude, k summit 3 din baad suru ho rahi hai. Par dude tum in 2 din toda sa ghum lena, fresh ho jaoge.
Mayank smile, "ab kahi ghumne ka maan nahi karta." He sighted, "any ways, main chalta hum, packing karni hai."
Mayank left, without wasting any moment. Samrat 's eyes are moist, " I know dude, main Nupur ko wapas nahi la skata, par God se pray karnga ke tumhe Nupur jaisi koi mil jaye."
Mayank reached in his hotel room. It's a five star hotel, Samrat arranged all this in very short period. Mayank feel proud for him and Gunjan, she is really lucky and Samrat too.
Next day morning. Mayank sitted on the window pane, sipping tea and looking outside. He notice there is park and children are playing. He decided to go there.
At Park.
Mayank sat on a bench and looking forward, children are playing, shouting����.their giggles made this place heavenly.
"hum apne bte ka naam Pranav rakhenge"
Nupur's words stuck on his mind and immediately he become emotional, lonely tear escape form corner of his eye���..he quickly wiped�..Mayank Sharma, The Mayank Shrama, Nupur ke alawa kissi ke samne nahi roya, he is a strong man.
Suddenly his thought interrupted by a ball���..a big soft ball hit on his hand and floating softly in air.
Mayank grabbed the ball and looking for someone who belong to. He notice two girls are standing near him, but they are scared to talk to him����.they pushing each other , but no one ready to went near Mayank.
Mayank notice all this with a smile. Moment later a girl approach to him with her tiny footstep, she is nearly two year of age, wore a cute red frock. Her silky shoulder lenghth hair clipped properly.
She come near Mayank�..he only starred her����.she is so cute, so adorable.
"heeelo, ungle, muje ball dho na." her voice is so cute, enchanting. Mayank just starred at her with smile.
She come nearer, shaking his knee, "pleejj ungle, ball dho na."
Mayank back to his sense, "acha ball dunga, par pehle apna naam batao." He knelt down front of her.
"my name ijj Mayuli. Aul woh��"she pointed her little finger to other girl, who standing little far, "who mela flend Nicha."
"hmm, Mayuri, bahut acha naam hai, bahut pyara, bilkul tumhari tarha." Mayank pulled her cheek. She giggled, sweet dimple flashed on her cheek.
After some chit-chat Mayank brought chocolates for them, but before he handed, a lady come there-
"mayuri, Nisha, kahan ho tum log."
"hum iha hai Maa" Nisha answer.
The lady approach to Mayank, "mere bacho ne apko pareshan to nahi kia?" she smile sweetly.
"not at all" Mayank smile back, "they are very sweet." He ruffle Mayuri's hair. She quickly stepped back, "balon ko math chuo ungle." She snapped. Mayank just stunned to hear this, but immediately hold his emotion�����he smile���he handed the chocolates.
"by the way am Mrs. Sharma." The lady extended her hand. Mayank shacking her hand, "me Mr. Sharma also." They chuckle.
All morning, Mayank playing with two girls��..they are really adorable, specially Mayuri, don't know why, Mayank felt a special affection to her and every passing minute the affection going stronger.
After some time, the sun increase his heat, one by one all children headed towards their home. Mayuri and Nisha also went to their car���..Nisha in her mother's lap and Mayuri in Mayank's lap.

Let us start with a simple proposition: Not all production requests or productions are created equal. There are good ones, and there are bad ones, and we all know when we've been on the receiving end of a bad one. Here is what is generally accepted as far as production formats are concerned. Next time I'll discuss the different metadata fields that should be requested in productions.
Most productions take one of three forms: (1) tiff/text, (2) searchable pdfs or (3) native form productions. There are advantages and disadvantages of each one of these formats, and will be discussed below. These different formats generally look as follows:
1. Tiff/Text: All documents are converted from native files to Black & White Single Page Group IV Tiffs. Separate, document level text files are also provided for each record. Lastly, an image (opt) and metadata (dat) load file is provided which includes information for every record for which said information was available.
2. Text Searchable PDFs: Essentially, the same as above is provided, but instead of simply exporting the converted images, those images are converted to document level pdfs on export, and then OCR'd to incorporate searchability.
3. Native File Productions: Here, the native file, renamed for its bates number and often including a confidentiality designation, is provided. Separate document level text files are also provided, as well as a metatdata load file.
Tiff/Text generally cost more since most vendors charge to convert a native file into static images. They are also prone to error because not everything converts correctly to image format and outside counsel is often pulling and inserting documents until the very last minute, which can create numbering issues.
One tip is that documents with redactions must be re-OCR'd no matter what type of production you are providing; if you fail to re-OCR the redacted images, you will in fact be producing the text that you redacted out of the image as part of the extracted text from the file.
For Text Searchable PDF Productions, I have to be frank. I don't know why these exist in this day and age, but I continue to see them being transferred about in the industry. My best guess is that the opposing party may request them from you when they do not have and are unwilling to spend the money on a review platform. They can open up each pdf, run a text search in it, review it and move on.
The biggest disadvantage is that most processing tools do not provide the ability to incorporate text into the pdf as it is being created from the images. You are then left with using the system to re-OCR the pdfs to make them searchable on the back end. OCR is never as good as extracted text because it is less accurate; the OCR engine will always make a mistake somewhere, so it is therefore less desirable than using the extracted text from a native file.
For Native File Productions, the biggest fear that counsel has to grapple with is that they may be missing something in the metadata or the hidden text that could be used against them if the other side discovers it. Hidden text encompasses the likes of track changes and speaker notes, which are often ripe with the thoughts of the document creator.
It is important to review this information before you produce the file, because it will undoubtedly be contained in both the native file and the extracted text from that file. The review team should examine these files in native form (an option in most robust review platforms) so that they can see this information and be confident when the production rolls around.
The key is keeping all of this in mind when you are negotiating with the other side for form of production. Obviously, some forms of production are more cost efficient, but carry a slightly higher risk of exposure.
Next time, I'll cover the types of metadata fields that you can and should request from the opposing party.

While container ships are the cheapest way to transport goods across long distances, at the same time it is the most polluting alternative. Transporting and loading/offloading of the containers uses low grade bunker fuel, releasing 260 times more pollutants into the atmosphere than the whole car fleet of the world. Energy saving options are urgently needed here.
The cranes at container terminals use the same fuel as the cargo ships themselves to lift containers. When lowering them, their energy is led to resistor banks and gets lost. Now, Vatche Artinian, an electric engineer from California, has developed a new kind of motor which by incorporating magnetic levitation technology collects the energy released while lowering the containers to reuse it for the next container.
This new kind of generators is not only useful in container transportation. It can be used as well within the uninterrupted power supply at data centres and servers, for example to replace lead-acid batteries. The magnetic levitation technology at the same times renders the generators free of maintenance and wearout.
