This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word mutant
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
mu•tantˈmyut nt(n.)
a new type of organism produced as the result of mutation.
Category: Genetics
(adj.)undergoing or resulting from mutation.
Category: Genetics
Origin of mutant:
1900–05; < L mūtant- (s. of mūtāns), prp. of mūtāre to change
Princeton's WordNet
mutant, mutation, variation, sport(noun)
(biology) an organism that has characteristics resulting from chromosomal alteration
an animal that has undergone mutation
tending to undergo or resulting from mutation
"a mutant gene"
Something which has mutated, which has one or more new characteristics from a mutation.
Someone or something that seems strange, abnormal, or bizarre.
That has undergone mutation.
Strange, abnormal, or bizarre.
Origin: mutans, present participle of mutare.
In biology and especially genetics, a mutant is an individual, organism, or new genetic character, arising or resulting from an instance of mutation, which is a base-pair sequence change within the DNA of a gene or chromosome of an organism resulting in the creation of a new character or trait not found in the wild type. The natural occurrence of genetic mutations is integral to the process of evolution. The study of mutants is an integral part of biology; by understanding the effect that a mutation in a gene has, it is possible to establish the normal function of that gene. In some organisms mutants can be created by gene targeting to assess the function of any given gene. This experimental approach is called reverse genetics. For example, a collection of knockout-moss mutants can be used to identify genes with so far unknown functions.

Scientists at Mainz and Innsbruck explore new treatment approach to overcome fear
A drug used to treat Parkinson's disease could also help people with phobias or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Scientists of the Translational Neurosciences (FTN) Research Center at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are currently exploring the effects of psychotherapy to extinguish fears in combination with L-dopa. This drug does not only help movement disorders, but might also be used to override negative memories.
Professor Raffael Kalisch, head of the Neuroimaging Center (NIC) of the JGU Translational Neurosciences Research Center, and his collaborators at the University of Innsbruck are conducting research in mice and in humans into the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms of anxiety and fear.
"Fear reactions are essential to health and survival, but the memories of angst-inducing situations may cause long-term anxiety or phobias," explained Kalisch. In psychotherapy, the 'fear extinction' method is used in exposing people to a threat but without the adverse consequences. Latest research has proven that extinguishing fear also predicts mental health after trauma, suggesting extinction may be an important resilience mechanism.
Fear extinction involves a person being presented with a neutral stimulus, such as a circle on a screen, together with a painful sensation. Soon the person predicts pain in response to the circle on the screen and fear becomes conditioned. Then the person is shown the circle again, but this time without the painful stimulus, so that the person can disassociate the two factors. A person who is afraid of spiders, for example, will in psychotherapy be confronted with spiders in a way that reassures them that the spider is harmless.
In another research program, Belgian scientists tested the ability to extinguish fear in soldiers later deployed to a war zone and found differences in the soldiers' resilience to traumatic memories. Some experienced post-traumatic stress symptoms following their deployment, whereas those who were able to extinguish fear in the laboratory maintained a good state of mental health.
"If you are mentally flexible enough to change the associations that your mind has created, you might be better able to avoid lasting damage," explained Kalisch. In cooperation with other scientists, Kalisch has found first evidence that this process of changing negative associations might involve the brain's systems for reward and pleasure and depend on release of the neurotransmitter dopamine that helps control them.
However, even after successful extinction, old fear associations can return under other stressful circumstances. This might involve the development of PTSD or a relapse after successful psychotherapy. Kalisch has found that L-dopa, a drug to treat Parkinson's disease, can prevent this effect and could therefore possibly be used to prevent relapse in treated PTSD or phobia patients. L-dopa is taken up by the brain and transformed into dopamine that not only controls the brain's reward and pleasure centers and helps regulate movement, but also affects memory formation.
The person receiving L-dopa after extinction will thus create a stronger secondary positive memory of the extinction experience and will thus be able to more easily replace the negative memory. This raises new questions about the role of primary fear memories and secondary prevention by L-dopa. "We would like to be able to enhance the long-term effects of psychotherapy by combining it with L-dopa," said Professor Raffael Kalisch. To this end, he is about to start a clinical study of people with a spider phobia to determine the effects of L-dopa on therapy outcome. "Manipulating the dopamine system in the brain is a promising avenue to boost primary and secondary preventive strategies based on the extinction procedure," he continued.

Sulfatides are a class of sulfated galactosylceramides synthesized primarily in the oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. Sulfatides are a type of sulfolipid.[1][2] Sulfatides are thought to play a major role in myelin function and stability, as evidenced by the fact that mice lacking the enzyme necessary to produce sulfatides during myelin sheath formation have thinner myelin sheaths, and experience progressive hindlimb paralysis as a result of demyelination of their lower spinal cords.[3]
Clinical significance[edit]
Sulfatidosis, or metachromatic leukodystrophy, is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by accumulation of sulfatides due to an inability to degrade them in lysosomes.[4]
Role in Alzheimer's disease[edit]
Alterations in sulfatide metabolism, trafficking, and homeostasis are present in the earliest clinically recognizable stages of Alzheimer's disease.
Relationship to vitamin K[edit]
Several studies have demonstrated a relationship between vitamin K and sulfatides. After mice were administered warfarin to decreased their brain sulfatide levels, vitamin K administration was able to restore these levels to normal.[5][6]

World champions Spain were drawn with France, Georgia, Belarus and Finland in qualifying for the 2014 tournament on Saturday.
Officially kicking off proceedings for what will be the first World Cup in Brazil in 64 years, the draw pitted England with 2012 European Championship co-hosts Ukraine and Poland in Group H.
Italy shall meet Denmark and the Czech Republic in Group B, while Germany faces Sweden, Austria and Ireland in Group C.
The draw in Rio de Janeiro determined the path of 166 teams in their bid to qualify for the tournament in three years' time. It was the first major World Cup event in Brazil since the South American nation was awarded the competition in 2007. As hosts, Brazil are the only nation that do not have to qualify.
"We are happy to be back in Brazil," FIFA President Sepp Blatter said.
Fifty-three European nations were divided into nine groups, with the winners automatically qualifying and the eight best group runners-up advancing to a playoff. The European qualifying matches will begin September 7 and end October 15, 2013.
Tricky Group I
Spain is in difficult Group I, the only one with five teams instead of six.
The Netherlands, runners-up in South Africa, were drawn in Group D with Turkey, Hungary and Romania, while Portugal will have to face Russia and Israel in Group F.
Group A has Croatia, Serbia, Belgium and Scotland. Greece will play Slovakia in Group G, while Norway were drawn in Group E with Slovenia and Switzerland.
The United States were drawn with Jamaica in qualifying for the North, Central America and Caribbean region. The other two teams in Group A will come from preliminary qualifying matches that include Haiti, Guatemala, the U.S. Virgin Islands and five other nations.
Mexico are in Group B with Costa Rica, while Cuba and Honduras are in Group C. All three group winners and runners-up will advance to a final qualifying round, beginning February 2013.
In Asia, Japan will face Uzbekistan, Syria and North Korea in Group C, while Australia play Saudi Arabia, Oman and Thailand in Group D.
Iran, Bahrain and Qatar were drawn in the same Group E, along with Indonesia, while China is in Group A with Iraq, Jordan and Singapore.
The African teams were divided into 10 groups for qualifiers beginning in November. South Africa, last year's World Cup hosts, were drawn in Group A along with Botswana. Ghana, the best African team last year, are in Group D with Zambia and Sudan.
South America was not included in the draw because the continent's nine teams will be placed in a single group. They will play each other twice, home and away, with the top four finishers securing a World Cup spot.
The fifth-placed team will advance to an intercontinental playoff against a team from Asia. The other playoff will pit teams from CONCACAF and Oceania.
The qualifiers began June 15 and will end November 19, 2013, after 824 matches. Twenty-eight teams were eliminated in preliminary rounds before Saturday's draw.
The World Cup will be played from June 12 to July 13, and the complete match schedule will be announced in October.
"We love football," Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said at the draw.
"Today, Brazil is admired for more than just football, music and its popular festivities. I invite you to come visit us. You will find a country very well prepared for the World Cup."
Brazilian media reported that about 1,000 protesters were protesting near the site of the draw against the removal of families from areas where the World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympics will be held. Some were also protesting against the nearly $20 million of public funds said to have been spent for Saturday's event.
More than 35 coaches and representatives from 104 national teams were in attendance. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, Pele, Ronaldo and Michel Platini were also at Marina da Gloria harbor in Rio.
Strong wind damaged part of the auditorium holding the draw just before it was to start, but workers fixed the problem in time and the event was not disrupted.

Tempe police said Tuesday they had arrested a man suspected in a series of sexual assaults. Jerimiah F. Huffman, 22, was taken into custody early Sunday after he was seen looking into windows of several homes near where he lives, in the 100 block of East Riviera Drive, police said.
During questioning, Huffman confessed to his involvement in three other cases under investigation. In each case, police said, Huffman entered the victim's residence through an unlocked or unsecured door or window.
In two instances, Huffman touched female victims while they were asleep, and in one case he stole money before fleeing. All of the victims were women, and all of the incidents occurred at night while the victims slept.

Police looking for man behind Walmart bomb scare in Rochester
Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded at 9:39 p.m. after receiving a report that there was an explosive device in the store or its parking lot at 116 Farmington Road -Route 11. By the time authorities arrived, the store's staff and customers had already evacuated.
Investigators believe two men in a black Chevy Suburban "announced the information of the possible explosive device in the parking lot over some sort of speaker system," according to police.
Police and members of the New Hampshire State Police Bomb Squad K-9 team searched the building and around the parking lot, but did not find any explosives. As a result, the store was turned back over to management, according to police.
Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact officer Justin Seckendorf at 330-7128. Anonymous tips can also be submitted to the Rochester Crime Line at 335-6500 or via text at CRIMES (274637) Body of Text: TEXT4CASH + your tip.

Profile: Printed matter that really matters
Story by Andrew Kiraly
Mitch Hanson and Amy Pienta SOMERSAULT LETTERPRESS
When you ask Mitch Hanson what makes letterpress printing so special, he answers by handing you his business card. Then you get it. "You feel that? It's tactile. It's dimensional. There's substance," he says. "When I hand people our card, they understand. 'This is cool. They spent some money and time on this.'" And love. In an age of iPads, Evites and cheap laser printers, Somersault Letterpress is a enthusiastic throwback that serves up slow-cooked print amid a sea of digital fast food, from wedding invitations to menus — heck, even the promo pieces they've created for Strip megaresorts are achingly gorgeous. Meet the ink-stained duo: Mitch Hanson (printer) and Amy Pienta (designer) launched Somersault Letterpress (somersaultletterpress.com) in June 2011, long suspicious that reports of print's death were greatly exaggerated. "A book is a book and paper is paper, and nothing will ever change that," Pienta declares. She even got the blessing of her parents — sort of. When she told her father, a former printer, she was planning to start a letterpress company, he balked: "He says, 'Those guys are all drunks with missing fingers! Why would you do that?'" Thus far, no missing fingers, but a growing clientele of people who want something more than a Facebook post or email blast to announce a special event. What is letterpress, anyway? It's a craft method of machine printing that plays in three dimensions: Think raised letters, embossed logos, custom cuts and foils. The result is simultaneously crisp, clean, lush and luxurious — which also describes Pienta's design work. Now meet the machines behind the people. There's Peanut, a Chandler & Price American letterpress, a veritable steel tank bristling with flywheels and levers. When Hanson fires it up, it chugs along with a viscerally satisfying ka-choom ka-choom ka-choom. And then there's Eva, a 1957 Heidelberg Windmill, a German machine the size of a small fridge; watching the slender arms feed paper and retrieve fresh prints is mesmerizing. Oh, and the sound. The throaty chutter of the Heidelberg's crank raising the feed table is sooo steampunk. "It always reminds me of the sound when the rollercoaster is going up the first hill," says Pienta. (She can't help but shout, "Ladies and gentlemen, make sure your arms and legs are safely in the car!" when she hears Hanson turn the crank.) And soon to join the crew: A Kelsey Excelsior handpress, a stout tabletop model. "This is what Ben Franklin used," Hanson says with fatherly affection. Indeed, it wouldn't be surprising if the Kelsey did duty printing pamphlets during the Revolutionary War. "These things never break down," says Hanson (knock on steel). "They require a lot of lubrication, but these were built to last." Not unlike their print work. One perk of being friends with Hanson and Pienta? You'll get one hell of a custom birthday card. Case in point: Pienta recently designed a congratulations card for a bride-to-be friend. She designed the card, and Hanson was up half the night, making the plates, prepping the machine — for a press run of one.

From there, we sailed out and onto the Banana River. Here, the water got very rough. It was a windy day, and we really felt it out there on the water. For about 15 minutes, we held onto our hats and sunglasses. Captain Ben pointed out some of the sights to us. One of our favorites was the Assembly building at NASA. During shuttle launches, these waters are filled with charter boats with a perfect view of the launch site!
Once we were past the rough river, we turned into a quiet cove and past some condos. Once past them, we turned into a small inlet and Captain Ben cut his engine. He didn't want to take a chance of hurting the manatees with his propellers. We drifted for less than a minute, and suddenly, we were surrounded by manatees! One, two…at least 6 were coming up to see what this boat thing was all about! Our first impression was, they are so cute! And our second impression was, they are so BIG!! Its hard to appreciate 1000 pounds until its swimming next to your boat!
They played, surfaced, swam and looked at us for almost a half hour. Eventually, they got bored, and moved on. We drifted out of the channel before Captain Ben would turn the engines back on, and then we headed back to shore. On the way, we saw dolphins and all sorts of birds, including egrets, herons, kingfishers, cormorants and ducks.
It was an awesome trip, and we loved every minute of them. I would highly recommend Captain Ben and his tours. Cost was $29 per person. The tour ran about 2 ½ hours. Tours leave at 10 AM Tuesday through Saturday, and 2 PM Sunday and Monday.
Take a few hours to do this tour…you'll be very glad you did!

text: The Cedar Mountain School District continues to deal with the after-effects of a lightning strike at the high school in Morgan in late August. The August 22nd bolt initially knocked out internet service to the building, causing an interruption in student tests, but since that time numerous other issues attributed to the lightning strike have surfaced. There have been problems with the school's scoreboard, library book scanners, SMART Board projectors, door card readers, fire alarms, bus radio receivers, the school bell system, and other electrical issues. The majority of these problems have been fixed in recent weeks, although some new issues continue to surface. The insurance policy covering the damage is being left open for a year as a precaution.

Autism: Child diagnosis in Wales can take seven years
Some parents in Wales are having to wait longer than seven years to have their children diagnosed with autism, BBC Wales has learned.
A leading charity says almost half wait more than three years for diagnosis, compared to one-third in England.
The Welsh government says work is under way to improve the diagnosis of children and adults.
It commissioned a report which found a "lack of consistency of services (postcode lottery)".
"Start Quote
End Quote Lisa Phillips Parent
If Pembrokeshire is world-leading then I dread to think what the rest of the world must be like, because we are floundering"
The report, commissioned 18 months ago, sought the views of clinicians.
It also found a lack of understanding by senior management of the time and resources needed for diagnosis and "a lack of ring-fenced resources for ASD (autism spectrum disorder), lack of commissioning and waiting lists".
The Welsh government claims to have a "world-leading" autism strategy, launched in 2008, and has ring-fenced £7.4m to support it.
Jill Grange, from Bridgend, whose son Matthew is now 14, said: "I think I noticed something between 18 months and two years of age because he seemed to be doing OK but then he lost the speech he'd already started to develop which in itself was a little slow.
"He also became much less interested in other people although he was still quite sociable with us.
"It was the development of his sensory behaviours and the fact he never stayed still. I knew there was something wrong and I did keep asking people but they reassured me he'd be OK.
"We were living abroad and by the time he was three and at nursery it was obvious he had a problem. When we came home I thought I'm going to try and see what the problem is.
"He had a test at three-and-a-half and I knew he would fail the speech and language. We had a meeting with the diagnostic team when he was nearly four.
"They talked about autism and I didn't mind the label as I was coming round to it. The diagnosis finally came at four-and-half."
One in every 100 children is born with ASD, a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people communicate and relate to others. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them.
The National Autism Society Wales says 47% of parents in Wales wait longer than three years for a diagnosis, compared with 34% in England.
The charity's head of external relations, Neil Ingham, told BBC Wales' Dragon's Eye programme: "We know that with the right support and intervention a child can have chance to thrive and develop and reach full potential, but if it's not good enough you're going to fall short of giving that child the best start in life and incur bigger cost in the long term in terms of mental health and employment and range of services older person will need."
Lisa Phillips, who waited two years to have a diagnosis for her child, has set up an online support group for parents.
"I've heard a lot that we have a world-leading autism strategy, and that sounds fantastic... how lucky we must be," she said.
"Start Quote
End Quote Gwenda Thomas AM Deputy Minister for Children and Social Services
I fully recognise the importance to parents and children of receiving a timely diagnosis"
"That's all very well, but we're not seeing the benefit in Pembrokeshire. If Pembrokeshire is world-leading then I dread to think what the rest of the world must be like, because we are floundering.
"Parents are desperate. I've been in contact with one mum who had to drop her working hours from 30 hours to seven because her child needs constant watching as she is suicidal... a child is suicidal."
In a statement, Deputy Social Services and Children's Minister Gwenda Thomas said: "I fully recognise the importance to parents and children of receiving a timely diagnosis.
"Diagnosing ASD is complex, involving multi-agency, speciality assessments and this can take time.
"Work is ongoing to improve diagnosis in children and adults, while ensuring greater consistency in its application throughout Wales."
She added that accessing services did not always depend on completing a formal diagnosis "and I expect professionals to ensure families receive appropriate support at the right time".
Conservative AM Mark Isherwood, the chair of the assembly's cross-party group on autism, said there were questions to be asked about whether the strategy was "actually doing what it was supposed to: to produce better outcomes to children and adults on the spectrum, rather than simply being a document to boast about because 'we're the first in the world'".

I am directing a research project on "The Integrity of the Image" for World Press Photo. We trailed this during the sessions on manipulation at the Awards Days in April, and the terms of reference have now been finalised.
To undertake research in order to compile as comprehensive a map as possible of the current practices and accepted standards relating to the manipulation of still images in photojournalism and documentary photography world-wide, focusing predominantly on the post-processing of these images. This research will be published so as to encourage debate on the integrity of the image, and inform World Press Photo about issues relating to manipulation relevant to its annual contest.
The primary research will include interviews with directors of photography, senior photo editors and relevant media executives at quality news organisations and international wire services; interviews with directors and/or relevant staff at photography agencies; interviews with directors and/or relevant staff at national media and photojournalism associations; interviews with digital forensics experts; interviews with camera manufacturers' sensor/software experts; and the collection of codes of ethics relating to the integrity of the image from media organisations and professional associations world-wide. The secondary research includes online and library research for existing scholarship on ethical debates relevant to the integrity of the image.
The research will be as global as is practically possible, and will aim to interview people and examine documents from at least nineteen countries: United States, China, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Germany, India, France, Russia, Brazil, Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Denmark, Mexico, Argentina, Japan, and Indonesia.
We will present the findings in October/November this year. I would welcome any feedback on the project's aim, questions and scope. And I would very much welcome any contributions of ideas or references.

Interesting research questions…and would be interested to read the results. You don't say what method of analysis you will be using for the interview responses. Do you have a full protocol with more detail?
One key question should be what makes the integrity of an image ? is it the image replication of the exact moment or its adherence to the photographer's vision ? How can you preserve authorship if you don't allow manipulation ?
Dear David,
do you need researchers for this? I am very interested
narrative analysis, discourse analysis or something entirely different ….?
I found this blog to be very interesting. I'm being sarcastic when I say "The camera never lies" As I recall the early image manipulations made by inventors. All images are an interpretation of the real subject or happening, and can never be truly captured. I'm grateful there are genres, which allow manipulations. Though I believe we are our own judge and jury, and should apply ethics when displaying any image.
I find photo manipulation ambiguous, as peer, public, and consumer pressure encourage the photographers to produce an aesthetic image, and more recognition via digital manipulation. It will be a difficult task for man or woman to rule judgment on the amount of digital manipulation accepted in photo documentary contests. And it will be even harder to maintain quality assurance throughout world organisations and varying cultures. There will always be a debate in what is real and not real. It can sometimes come down to interpretation. It's the intent of gain from manipulation that is the problem. It will be interesting read the outcome of further studies this year.
[…] contributing to the MA in International Multimedia Journalism based in Beijing, and completing the World Press Photo commissioned research on manipulation, amongst a few other […]

According to the great playwright Tennessee Williams, the most important thing in life is to have enthusiasm. But he obviously wasn't a hat wearer, or he'd have known this perfect accessory would stay with him through thick and thin.

Decorated with a cool, casual plaid hat band, this style has a two-tone build with dyed brim. Finished with a Bailey logo pin This hat also features a woven polyester sweatband. Plaid pattern may differ from that pictured.

The equation for a good life is to have good literacy skills. Mastering literacy can lead to a good education, good health and a good job which equates to a good life.
That was the message recently at the J. Marion Sims Literacy Forum. Dr. Linda Gambrell, president of the International Reading Association, was the guest speaker.
Gambrell, who has authored several books on literacy and is, of course, an avid reader, was touting the benefits of reading.
As sheriff of Lancaster County, I would like to discuss an issue very close to each of us - crime prevention. My office is committed to making our neighborhoods safer places to live.
By doing so, we will improve the quality of life for individuals and families, both young and old. It is imperative that we seek progress to reduce the negative influences that crime has on our children and to help safeguard the elderly.
I would like to thank the A.R. Rucker Middle School cheerleaders for being just that - middle school cheerleaders. These girls consistently complement the athletic programs at A.R. Rucker Middle School.
They strive to do what cheerleaders should, which is lead the crowd in support of the athletes competing. I am proud to know that the A.R. Rucker Middle School cheerleaders take their positions as leaders and role models seriously.
There was a time in Lancaster when filling stations were on just about every corner.We were served by Esso, Pure Oil, Gulf, Spur, Shell and Amoco oil companies through local distributors. Gas was about 25 cents a gallon for regular grade and "high-test" cost about three pennies more.
Critics of social networking Web sites better get used it; they're here to stay. The youth are using them to keep in touch with one another.
Telecommuters from HP are using them to connect with their development teams. Even military officers are using Facebook to organize their squadrons.
Social networks are a part of a larger schema that is oft called Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is the catalyst for the culture clash between those who embrace these tools and those who are just fine with the conventional methods.
The men's ministry of Hopewell United Methodist Church missed out on its fall barbecue chicken fundraiser in 2006.
It was expected when they temporarily traded in their cooking tongs and aprons for trowels and hammers to construct an up-to-date, 1,500-square-feet cooking facility.
But now, they are switching back.
The new building – which started in April 2007 – two weeks after Hopewell's 2007 spring barbecue – has been completed.
Lancaster Motor Speedway awakens from the long, cold winter Saturday when the storied half-mile launches its 54th season in grand style with the Carolina Clash Super Late Models.Featuring some of the top drivers in the Southeast, the series hosts its first event for 2008 at LMS, a $5000-to-win 50-lap feature.Due to inclement weather last week, the Clash's opener at Carolina Speedway was postponed, so now Lancaster hosts the opener.Last year, the series twice visited the LMS high banks and thrilled crowds with some dazzling racing as well as setting new track
GREAT FALLS - Darla Kaye Wynne vows to make change in town government if she is elected in the April 8 election.
Wynne is one of three people who filed for a two-year term on council.
"I have the strength and convictions to follow through with anything that I start," Wynne said. "I am not a part of the local buddy system so I am not representing anyone other than the people that would elect me.
The University of South Carolina Upstate has selected Lancaster resident Bob Doster, an internationally acclaimed artist, as the featured sculptor for the 2008-09 season. His unique style of metal design ranges from the whimsical feel of free-floating steel in multi-colored tables and accent pieces to the distinction of monumental sculpture.
The Doster exhibition officially begins in April, where six pieces of his work will be showcased on the campus. An artist lecture and reception will be held in the fall.
INDIAN LAND – Indian Land High School girls basketball coach Tamara Jacobus will be among the high school basketball elite this weekend.Jacobus has been selected to serve as an assistant coach for the North team in the annual North-South All-Star basketball game at North Myrtle Beach High School.The girls' game tips off at noon, with the boys' all-star game set for a 2:30 p.m. start."I'm looking forward to it," said Jacobus, a 16-year coaching veteran who has a 228-115 hardwood record in leading the Lady Warriors.

For Sale
12V Power supplies 30A $40 and 46A $60 for your chargers
Let's call these Feather power
Anyway I have 2 kinds of supplies to power your chargers wherever you have access to 120V. They are pulled from file servers and so they provide a well regulated supply suitable for any charger that needs 12VDC. They will not burn up if overloaded but will just shut down. Just disconnect everything and wait about 30 seconds and reconnect.
The first will provide 12V up to 30A. I have used one of these every week at the field for about a year. I can power two Astro 109's and 2 Triton II's.
I have found I can also use one to power my Hyperion Duo and charge two 6S 5000 packs at once at 5A on each pack.
All this supply needs is a PC power cord and for you to solder/clip/etc your charger onto it.
I am selling these for $40 shipped in the CONUS.
The second power supply will do 12V and 46A on 120V and 12V 86A on 240V. I have not tried these on 240V yet but the specs are straight off the nameplate. These supplies have 6 male blades for outputs. 3 are 12V and 3 are ground. The blades are spaced perfectly for clipping charger leads onto. I think these supplies would be great for a club to have at the field all the time.
These supplies require a power cord soldered to some short wires in the supply. Not hard for some of us and I'll post pictures and instructions here. But some may want a plug and play solution so for $10 I'll add a cord.
I'm selling these for $50 shipped CONUS without cord or $60 shipped CONUS with the cord.
You can order here:
The wires soldered to the supplies as shown on the website are not included. PM me if you want any special work.

I've had several questions about how I connect multiple chargers to one supply so I took some pictures.
Basically they are just in parallel so each charger sees 12V.
Of corse the power supply has to be ale to supply current (Amps) to each charger depending on the charger's needs.
To find out how many amps a charger requires, read the manufacturer's instructions or calculate the number yourself. The supplies have a label on them that says how many Amps they can put out.
The calculation is pretty simple grade school math. A fully charged LiPo is 4.2 Volts. The charge rate is up to you but is usually 1C or 1 times the capacity of the cell. We charge 2100 cells at 2.1 Amps. So for our one cell example that would be 4.2V X 2.1A = 8.8 Watts. Stay with me here.
To see how many Amps 8.8 Watts is at 12 Volts take 8.0 / 12 = 0.67 Amps. Not a lot but this is only one cell.
A 3 cell 2100 pack would take 3 times the Amps at 12 Volts to charge or 2.2 Amps. Still pretty small.
How about a 6 cell 5,000 pack? Well 6 X 4.2 Volts X 5 Amps = 126 Watts or about 10 Amps at 12 Volts.
The only other thing you need to remember is that chargers are not perfect at putting power from the supply into the battery. That means we actually need a little more power for the charger to operate. A good estimate is to multiply the Amp figures above by 1.2 to get close to actual requirements. So for the 6cell example, thet means about 12 Amps at 12 Volts.
So with these supplies you could run a lot of small chargers or 1 or 2 large ones.

I bend each wire to form a hook after tinning and then these hooks are joined and squeezed together with pliers to make a good physical connection before soldering. Don't forget to heatshrink everything.

Sales have be brisk baby. I have 5 of the 30 Amp and 5 of the 46 Amp supplies left.

Glad you like it. Someone asked if the $60 supply came with the power cord attached or just in the box. In Post 7 and 8 I detail how I add the cord to the supply for an extra $10. So if you buy a supply with the cord it will be installed as in those posts. No way I'd charge $10 to put a cord in the box.

Are these 2 Power supplies still available? Just ordered
the iCharger 106B+ today. After reading a couple of your
posts,it seems the first charger would work.( 12V up to 30A)
If I'm wrong please let me no before I send payment.That is
if there still available. Thanks in advance.
PS The most I will charge this year will be 1 6S cell.
But I think I will be growing in this sport,so I'm trying to buy
a little bit bigger setup just in case.

Miami Dade College (MDC) Spring 2013 Gen. FT/PT& Accelerated Nursing program - page 7
Hi all, I've just handed in my application to MDC for Spring '13. Right now I'm overall score is 82 but I'm planning on retaking the TEAS in August to improve that. If anyone has a book list from previous students, please... Read More
- 0Ohh crap, I thought 73 was low and those who didn't do so hot on the teas had a chance of getting in. I got a 78 on the teas and it said my program percentile was an 86%. Does that percent even matter when being considered for admission?
- 0Me too, I applied to both
- 0Sep 12, '12 by Wet NoodleIf the average TEAS V score was about 65 (it actually dropped slightly from last spring to fall for MDC ADN applicants), I don't see how it could be 73 now. That just doesn't add up.
- 0I agree that the avg seems higher, but that's what an advisor told me. Sometimes I think they don't give out accurate info until after they're done accepting students for the term.
- 1Sep 13, '12 by LouVellieYeah its crazy. I would have scored better if I would have studied english composition. I could not tell you the difference between an adverb and adjective for the life of me. But I would say that with any competitive score in the 80's is good. The girl that took it with me had a 4.0 GPA and scored an 88.9 on TEAS and she was nervous. I said, "Get out of here with that, you have nothing to worry about unless they lose your application."
- 0Sep 17, '12 by joshsc, ADNJust heard back from Advisement and according to them, the GPA used is "AS MY INST CUM PRO" which is your natural science GPA.
That includes the following classes:
They also said "The admission emails will start to go out to students MyMDC accounts sometime in October. "

Highly effective sports lube
September 15, 2011
In my opinion, perhaps the best sports lubricant out there, and far more slick and long-lasting than Bodyglide. Use it anywhere things may rub/chafe or blister. Also works really well when applied around shoulders, on lats, front and back of knees, and neckline prior to pulling on a full-sleeve wetsuit; it helps the material slide easily over the skin, allowing for a more unrestricted stroke. Easy to toss into a race or gym bag. The only issue I've had with this product is that it tends to leak a little if the cap isn't tightened down pretty hard, or if left in a hot car. I keep the bottle in a plastic baggie to prevent anything else from getting unintentionally slippery.
Pros:Unscented, Slippery, Quick and easy to apply, Stays on
Cons:Bottle can leak
Best Uses:Ultrarunning, Racing, Endurance Training, Open water swimming

Tiger Temple
A once in a (possibly short) lifetime chance to pet tigers can be arranged from the travel agencies in Khaosan in Bangkok or from nearby Kanchanaburi. Visitors are guided to a large dirt quarry where several grown tigers and a host of cubs lie relaxing along with several monks and guides. Visitors, separated by a thin single chain, are led past, one at a time, to sit with and pet the tigers. Rumour has it that the tigers are given sedatives although some argue they are under the meditational spell of the monks or just used to humans. None of it is apparently enough to guarantee safety as an occasional mauling has been known to happen, however the experience is definitely unforgettable.
Address: Saiyok District, Kanchanaburi
Website: www.tigertemple.org
Opening times: Daily, 9am-4:30pm.
Admission: Between THB 600 and THB 5,000, depending on the programme.

Covered California website having technical problems
Updated On: Feb 20 2014 06:17:09 PM PST
A key part of California's online marketplace to shop for health insurance has been offline since it began malfunctioning Wednesday.
The exchange, known as Covered California, issued a news release Thursday saying the enrollment function on its website, www.coveredca.com , was taken offline Wednesday afternoon to address what it described as a software malfunction.
It said repair work was going on around the clock and that engineers hoped to restore functionality by Friday morning.
Earlier this week, Covered California reported that 829,000 people had signed up for individual policies through the first two weeks of February and that another 877,000 applicants were determined to be likely eligible for coverage through Medicaid.

Texans: top 10 defense.
I'm so encouraged by the play of the defense on Sunday. Not just because they played well but also because I think changes were made that will continue to positively effect the unit the rest of the season. Below are two lists... The first is a list of the areas we will be very good at through the last 12 games... The second are the reasons why I think the defense has/will suddenly make rather dramatic improvements.
1. top 10 in Yards allowed
2. top 10 in PPG
3. top 10 in Rush Yards allowed
4. top 10 in interceptions
Here's why I think we're so much better going forward.
1. Schedule
2. Found an identity: pressure with 4 man line... limit interior stunts, rotate Okoye on passing downs, keep everyone fresh with a heavy rotation... I even saw Cochran rotate in as NT late in the game- which seemed to work well in passing situations.
3. Weaver is playing solid ball at DE the past 2 weeks- he's being used on run downs and moved out on passing downs.
4. Dunta coming back
5. Unspectacular but solid CB play with a lot of depth.. We're 5 deep upon Dunta's return with CBs that can hang with 80% of NFL receivers.
6. Safeties that can cover and be helpful over the top in some cover 2, which we'll be playing more often. Brandon Harrison is something we haven't had since McCree- a safety that can cover.
7. Mario is a monster! and his presence on the field alone is going to create a lot of havoc for opposing offenses. Still the defense was able to get him one on one with a RB and a TE for his two sacks.
8. The LBs in coverage all of a sudden seemed to be in position to make plays. They ran more underneath man coverages and other things to make it less predictable... It paid off with a Diles INT.
9. Realization that TJ isn't a NT and the use of different schemes to compensate for it and the improvement of Okam in the NT role, of which he is suited.
10. Infusion of highly athletic players as the season continues: Dunta, Molden, BHarrison, Okam, Adibi (maybe)
11. Good health.
12. an offense that can run the ball and control the clock and score enough to pressure the opposing team to take risks.
13. Despite the lack of sacks, every game this season the front 4 has regularly collapsed the pocket and limited the QBs time to throw... Now that the middle of the field isn't wide open, the sacks will come as will the forced throws. The injury to CCBrown may have been the catalyst for a lot of improvement in pass coverage- Harrison and Wilson can even man up on the slot receiver.. that sure is a change from what we've had at safety.
That's it! No more silly, telegraphed blitzes. Get ready for a hybrid of the Tampa 2. Safeties in coverage, corners pressing, and a 4 man rush most of the time.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
I really appreciate the optimism. However i really dont think that we'll be able to stop that wildcat offense that the Phins are running......
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
I sure hope so..:thinking:
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
I really liked what I saw from the defense against Indy but I still can't tell if that was us improving or if it was displaying just how much Indy is struggling as of late.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
I wanna see adibi and molden in there.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
plus he hits like a truck and has shown himself to be a strong and excitable leader on the field which we definitely need.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
If you look at YPG, the Texans are 26th against the run and 12th against the pass. The passing stat is particularly misleading given that, for example, Big Ben didn't have the throw the ball for very many yards but did very effectively.
I'm not sure that the Texans should even think about being a top 10 defense until they even get mediocre in most meaningful defensive categories.
They are 18th for average yards per game given up.
They are 29th in sacks, with Mario getting 4 out of the 5.
They are 30th in points allowed.
Taking into account games played, they are 30th in total points
They are tied for 19th for forced fumbles
They are 23rd in interception
The good news is that if the offense shows more signs of life and the quarterbacks stop giving away the ball, the defense can improve to some degree. Sacks are easier to get if you get leads on the other team because it forces them to pass. (Personally, I don't like seeing teams forced to pass, because it so often leads to slant route, slant route touchdown).
The bad news is that the defense is performing worst than league average on a per play basis. See this entry here.
Ultimately rankings and stats are just something that are kind of interesting. The defense needs to make meaningful stops. They have problems on 3rd and 4th downs, and if you can't stop teams on that down, you are going to have a long day.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
I'm not going to lie. I do see encouraging signs from this defense last week. I'm still going to look out for pitfalls and the timing in Indy's offense just isn't there yet. It will be though and they will get more dangerous as the season goes forward.
I think some of the positive signs we saw last week were just importantly on offense. If Steve Slaton keeps doing what he's doing he should be hands down rookie of the year not just based on production but for what he's doing for the team as a whole. He helps give the QBs time because you can't just key on the passing game and gives an explosive dump down pass if nothing is up field. Duane Brown really has been solid for the most part and I have to say has exceeded most of my expectations by a long shot. The inside of the line still bothers me some but I think as the season goes on under Gibbs they can/will get better. Jury is out on Schaub still and perhaps the questions about him staying on the field are now starting to look fair.
All of that really helps what the defense has to do. With the offense picking up I don't think they now feel the need to have to make a play everytime because the other side of the ball is struggling. Mario is starting to play like a man among boys and if we can get consistent pressure outside of him then the front four will look good. I think I'm starting to see Ray Rhodes' effect on this defense especially on our secondary. If Reeves can keep getting his head turned in coverage to find the ball we're solid. I'm still waiting on seeing IF Dunta makes it back and how close is he to going 100%. I just have a hard time believing after an injury like that he's going to come back after the PUP period like the old Dunta we all know and love.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
I couldn't help think of Dunta during the last MNF game between the Vikings and Saints because of the play of Antoine Winfield. They are so similar its scary. Can not wait to get him back in the lineup. Its too bad we couldn't get Antoine when he was a FA, I remember we came pretty close on him and Pat Williams as well. Ouch.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
Wow.... I thought the koolaid had made me delusional...
You forgot to mention that they defense has given up 30+ points in the last four games. (two offensive turnovers for tds I know)
The defense has been the weakest link in the Texans side this year. Until they can make stops on 3rd and 4th downs....yeah I am not gonna toot the defense as being tops in the league. Mario top player.....maybe top defense noooooooooo waaaaaaay in heck.
Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
Murph, I sure hope you're right on this one. I know the Defense is improving, but I'm not sure they will be top 10 this year. Although getting Dunta back next week should help, I still think overall they are too young and need more time to develop. But, I agree they are taking steps in the right direction, and time will tell just how much they are improving. JMHO!

Well it is certainly putup or shutup time, that is for sure. (It would do so much good for the team and the fans to have a W after this week.)

Re: Texans: top 10 defense.
The only stat I care about is wins/losses. Right now it is 0-4. If they don't win Sunday, you'll be able to hear a pin drop the following week in the stadium.

Make yourself a Beautiful Bumble Berry Pie Afghan to wrap yourself in and sit by the fire. This free crochet afghan pattern is fun to make and all its colors make a fabulous design. It may take some time, but you'll love the finished product.
Crochet Hook: H/8 or 5 mm hook
Yarn Weight: (4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)
Inspired by the colours of Bumble Berry Pie, I dared push the limits and challenged myself to create as many different combinations of squares throughout this pattern. Here's the trick though... I used only one type of yarn ball to make it happen. Used in this pattern is Bernat's Mosaic Brand, color is called Medusa. The colour transitions so slowly that each square potentially looks unique to itself. I also suggest using half of the balls from the inside string going out and the other have pulling from the outside of the ball working in. This doubles your colour combinations available.
Finished Size is 5.25 feet by 5.25 feet.
- Bernat Mosaic Yarn (Color used was Medusa). Any Bernat Mosaic Yarn coloring will produce similar results.
- Skeins: 17 (13 Skeins to construct Squares and 3 skeins for joining and outside perimeter border.
- 5.5 MM hook or H
- Mosaic Yarn is thinner and value yarn. It will produce smaller squares but are ideal for the coloring achieved.
- No color changing is required, the yarn will do the work for you.
- This blanket will take between 26 – 30 hours to complete.
Squares – Make 143
Rnd 1: Ch 6 and join, ch 3 (counts as 1st dc) 15 dc and join to top of ch 3, 16 dc
Rnd 2: Dc ch 4 (counts as dc, ch 1) *dc, ch 1 in each dc around, be sure to count 16 or the next round will not match properly.
Rnd 3: Ch 3 and put 2 DC into the same space. *Ch1 and put 3 dc, in the second ch1 space on the previous row. Skip next Ch1 space and put 3dc, ch2, 3 dc, ch1 repeat *twice, sk space, 3 dc ch 1 and join.
Rnd 4: ch 3, 2dc, ch 1, skip to next space *3 dc, ch 1, skip to next space 3 dc, ch1, 3dc, ch 2, 3dc, ch1 (corner made) continue from around and join, sl st to corner
Once 128 are made, begin attaching method. If you prefer your squares to be vertical and horizontal. Changes in the layout and granny square counts will change.
