The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization are collaborating with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) at the federal and state levels and with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), providing technical collaboration in a number of public health areas. Almost four weeks later, Hurricane Rita dealt another devastating blow
to the same area, causing flooding to reoccur in New Orleans and other
low-lying areas of the state of Louisiana. This time, however, the state
of Texas suffered the direct brunt of the storm. The fact that several
million people chose to heed evacuation warnings may have contributed
to the reduced death toll.

I'm new here. Is mine too big?
I'm wondering if we can just have a reminder of sig size guidelines. There are a couple of signatures that take a while for my computer to load. Thanks pals!
"So, here are the modifications to our Signature Guidelines:
1) Two pics per sig - thumbnail size (100x100) or actual thumbnail OK
2) Smilies are OK - no limit (within reason)
3) 1 countdown max - (I recommend the v50 one)
4) Signature should be no more than 7 lines "

Coaching in Social media
Book coaching if you want to increase your understanding of how it works and get result. Be smart and aware of that every minute you spend not knowing how to achieve result is lost time. It can save you and your company many hours of unnecessary work and you achieve results much faster.
To book coaching is an investment and I have experience since the 90's of using social media. The last 10 years at IBM and Ericsson. Educated in the USA. and become coached by Kim Garst and her team who are world leaders.
To communicate properly in social media is a challenge because it does not work like traditional media and it is also changing very fast.
I have worked as a project manager for the Hallstavik Network, where I focused on community coaching to stimulate the development of ideas and innovations to individuals in Norrtälje Municipality.
To be coached is like opening new doors and using the resources in the best way.
I am a certified facilitator of the ValuesOnline tool to develop values and visions. Certified Business Networker by the Reference Academy and has a large skilled international network. Use your time smart and book coaching or a facilitation with me!
Do you want to get results with your investment in social media?

Tour de France needs to happen now imo.
Could get it going within 12 hours in theory, depends when the post arrives (anytime between 8am and 2pm, the old woman chats to everyone she sees, post office is in the middle of the village, i live at the edge, if it's raining it takes longer etc.) and on when i wake up (any time between 11am and 2pm) and that's if it arrives tomorrow, which i was told it would.
As I have said in another thread, I am getting a bike for christmas. The one I'm getting is This. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make it lighter, and does anyone have tips on improving speed?
Any help will be fully appreciated.

Following a grant of planning permission, it may be necessary to make small amendments to the permission, for example changing a finish or moving a door or window. An application can include more than one amendment and this procedure can also be used to amend conditions.The application form, fee and guidance notes for Non-material Amendments (following a Grant of Planning Permission) can be found at:Application Forms and Fees - see section 12You will need: The completed application form which describes clearly the amendment(s) you wish to make and why you wish to make it; Plans necessary to show the proposed amendment(s), ensuring that what is shown matches the description on the form. Any plans provided must be to a metric scale and any figured dimensions given in metres and a scale bar should be included; Fee.
Whilst there is a fee (householder developments - £28, others - £195), the simplified application procedure has resulted in a faster decision time and as this is not a full application, a design and access statement will not be required.There is not a statutory definition of a non-material amendment as the guidance considers that it is for the local planning authority to decide, in the context of the scheme, whether the amendment applied for is non-material.In considering whether to accept a change as a non-material amendment we will not normally consider the following:
Please Note: Only those with an interest in the land (including mortgagees and those with options to acquire an interest) can apply for a non material amendment.Whether or not a proposed amendment is non-material will depend on the circumstances of the case - for example, moving a window could be material if it results in the overlooking of a neighbour, but could be non-material if it does not. If an application made under this new legislation is successful, the result will be an amendment to the original planning permission. No new planning permission is created.
If an amendment cannot be treated as a "non-material amendment" then it would require a new freestanding planning permission, either
Applicants have the benefit of deciding which application type to submit. However, if an application is submitted for a "minor material amendment", but is not accepted by the Council, then it would result in a longer timescale since the Council would have 8 weeks to determine the "minor material amendment" application and a further 8 weeks for determining any new full planning application.

Unlike a doctor or health plan, Google Health is not regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a federal law that establishes data confidentiality standards for patient health information. This is because Google does not store data on behalf of health care providers. Instead, our primary relationship is with the user. Under HIPAA, patients have a right to obtain a copy of their medical records. If they choose to use Google Health, we'll help them store and manage their medical records online.
Although Google Health is not covered by HIPAA, we are committed to user privacy and have in place strict data security policies and measures, and ensure that users control access to their information. We let users know what information we collect when they use Google Health, how we use it, and how we keep it safe. Users choose who views or adds information to their profile, and they can revoke access at any time.
There is no advertising in Google Health. We do not sell user health information, and we do not share it with other individuals or services unless a user explicitly authorizes us to do so, or in the limited circumstances described in our privacy policy. A user's personal medical records are stored in their secure account and cannot be accessed by others through a search on Google.com. Also, no personal or medical information stored in a user's Google Health profile is used to customize their Google.com search results.
The information below describes how Google Health's data confidentiality practices compare to those mandated by HIPAA.
For more information on Google Health's privacy practices, see our privacy policy.
For more detailed information on HIPAA, see:
Google Health |
Do individuals have access to their medical records and health information? |
Under HIPAA, patients can request a copy of their medical records from their health care provider. This typically requires completing release paperwork and may require a printing or copying fee. In some circumstances, availability of certain records may be limited. |
In Google Health, users have free and immediate web access at all times to the medical records and health information they store in their account. |
Are individuals informed of how their information is used and protected? |
Health care providers must provide patients with written notice of their HIPAA privacy rights. |
Google provides users with a privacy policy when they sign up for Google
Health. |
What information is protected? |
Under HIPAA, personally identifiable information is protected. |
Under the Google Health privacy policy, personally identifiable information is
protected. |
When is information sharing permitted? |
Health care providers may share information with patient authorization, and may
share without authorization, for certain purposes, such as:
Google Health may share information with explicit user authorization, and may share without authorization in certain limited circumstances, such as:
When is information sharing required? |
Under various federal and state laws, health care providers must share patient
information to comply with court orders and subpoenas. HIPAA itself also allows health care providers to voluntarily share patient information with law enforcement without a subpoena and without permission from or notice to the patient. |
Under various federal and state laws, Google must share user information to
comply with court orders and subpoenas. When possible, we notify the user in
order to give them the opportunity to object. Under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), Google may not voluntarily share most user information with law enforcement. |
How does the individual authorize sharing? |
Patient authorization is not required for institutions to share information in the case of certain permitted disclosures, described above. When authorization is required, patients provide consent to share information through a written authorization form that must satisfy certain HIPAA requirements. Sharing is revocable under HIPAA. |
Users must request and give Google permission to share information through electronic authorization in their Google Health account. Sharing is revocable at any time. |
Is information protected when used by third parties? |
If the third party is covered by HIPAA, HIPAA rules apply. If the third party (e.g., a patient's family member or employer) is not covered by HIPAA, HIPAA rules do not apply. |
If the third party is covered by HIPAA, HIPAA rules apply. If the third party
(e.g., a patient's family member or employer) is not covered by HIPAA, HIPAA
rules do not apply. |
Can information be seen or used internally by a health care provider's or health plan's personnel or by Google employees? |
Employees in particular job functions may have access to patient information without patient authorization as reasonably necessary to carry out duties relating to treatment, reimbursement, or health care operations, such as to communicate about health benefit plans or to recommend alternative treatments or therapies. |
A limited number of employees in particular job functions may have access to user information in order to operate and improve Google Health. Users consent to this limited internal use when they sign up for Google Health. |
Do individuals have a right to correct inaccurate information in their records? |
Patients can request corrections in their records, and the service or doctor can reject or accept the request. |
Users can delete any of their health information stored on Google Health and edit any information they have entered in their account at any time, and their account will reflect their changes immediately. They can also add notes to the information sent to their account by a health care provider. |
Can individuals find out who has viewed or added information to their records? |
Patients can request to see to whom their information has been disclosed in the last six years by requesting this information in writing from their health care provider. However, most disclosures, such as those for treatment, payment, and health care operations, do not have to be reported in response to such a request. |
Every time data is added to a user's profile, the user is updated with a 'notice' on the main page of their profile. Users can see their full list of notices at any time. Users can view a full list of anyone that can currently view or add information to their account at any time in the settings tab of their Google Health account. This list does not include those who previously had access but from whom the user later revoked reading or editing privileges. Additionally, individual items that have been added to a user's account include a source--the name of the health care provider or institution that added the information --even if the source no longer has reading or editing privileges on the account. |
How is information kept secure? |
HIPAA requires that health care providers and other services maintain a minimum standard of "reasonable and appropriate safeguards to prevent intentional or unintentional use or disclosure of health information". |
Google Health secures information by:
Who enforces privacy protections? |
Under HIPAA, the Department of Health and Human Services enforces HIPAA privacy protections through civil and criminal penalties. Read more information about HIPAA enforcement from the HHS Office of Civil Rights. |
Under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, the FTC enforces privacy protections in the Google Health privacy policy through civil and criminal penalties. State attorneys general and district attorneys have similar authority under general consumer protection laws. |

Wife & I are shopping for a mattress after 20 years. I'm a side sleeper; she is a stomach sleeper with lower back arthritis. We are both average built. I prefer softer and she prefers firmer. After reading your excellent blog, we know to steer clear of pillowtops.
We've shopped Stearns Foster and see it is the best built mattress in our price range. However, the hotels/motels we've stayed at this summer have the Sealy's, and we found them comfortable. We are in Michigan and will purchase from Macy's. Your guidance will be appreciated as tossing coins on a mattress is best left for the Army and not for a mattress purchase.
Ya know Dan, I had a little more confidence in our armed forced up to now. I sincerely hope you're referring to the Army Navy game and not the Army as a whole.
In choosing, you really have to start with your wife's back. Try the mattresses with her in her stomach position. She has a natural arch at the small of the back and in order to not aggrivate her artritis, that arch needs to be maintained.
The mattresses at the hotels you slept at have and interlocked coil unit. The coils in the S&F move independently from one another. The type of support is different. The former offers a more rigid base support and the later is better for reducing motion transfer.
When she tries them, she needs to do so in her sleeping position. Have her focus on how that part of her back is feeling and reacting. You also can help, by looking at the shape her back is taking. You'll be able to see if that arch looks right or if it looks off.
WE DELIVER EVERYWHERE in the Continental US.
All mattresses are freshly made to your order.

Impressive second quarter results, attractive return on equity (ROE) and strong outlook helped The Fresh Market Inc . ( TFM ), a specialty grocery retailer, achieve a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) on October 12. Moreover, a solid year-to-date return of 41.2% and strong top-line performance makes this stock an attractive investment opportunity. The Rank Driver Better-than-expected second quarter earnings, management's focus on expanding the store base, driving comparable-store sales and improving margins as well as enhanced outlook are the primary rank drivers for this stock. The Fresh Market, which competes with The Kroger Co . ( KR ) and Whole Foods Market Inc . ( WFM ), declared second-quarter fiscal 2012 results on August 29 wherein earnings of 28 cents a share, topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny and jumped 26.4% from the prior-year quarter. Net sales of $313 million exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $309 million and improved 20.6% from $259.5 million in the year-ago period. Comparable-store sales climbed 8%, attributable to a 5.3% jump in the number of transactions and a 2.7% rise in average transaction size. The Fresh Market opened 5 new outlets in the quarter, and plans to open 14 to 16 new stores in fiscal 2012. Gross profit escalated 25.6% to $106.7 million, whereas gross margin expanded 140 basis points (bps) to 34.1%. Operating income increased 27.8% to $21.7 million, while operating margin elevated 40 bps to 6.9%. Following its strong results, the company raised its outlook for the second time in fiscal 2012 and expects comparable-store sales to grow in the range of 5.5% and 6.5%, which is quite impressive in these difficult times. Moreover, the company projects earnings of $1.33 to $1.38 per share, representing an increase of 25% to 30% over fiscal 2011 earnings per share of $1.07. Earnings Estimate Revisions The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2012 increased 2.2% to $1.39 per share in the last 60 days. The current estimate implies a year-over-year growth of 29.8%. Moreover, for 2013, the Zacks Consensus Estimate increased 3% to $1.73 a share, reflecting an estimated year-over-year growth of about 24.9%. Valuation The Fresh Market currently trades at a forward P/E of 40.6x, reflecting a significant premium to the peer group average of 14.4x. Also, on a price-to-book basis, the shares are trading at 16.7x, a sizeable premium to the peer group average of 1.5x. However, the return on equity (ROE) for the stock looks lucrative with a 1-year ROE of 44.1% compared with 12.3% for its peer group. Given the company's compelling fundamentals, the premium valuation is justified and well supported by its long-term estimated EPS growth rate of 20.8% versus 16.4% for the peer group. About the Company Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina, The Fresh Market is a specialty grocery retailer of perishable and non-perishable products such as meat, seafood, produce, deli, bakery, floral, traditional grocery and dairy products, as well as specialty foods that include coffee and candy, and beer and wine. As of July 29, 2012, the company operated in 24 states through 121 stores. The Fresh Market currently has a market cap of $2.71 billion.

I don't mind tattoos...but I hate it when a guy has a lot of cheesy, overdone tats (like barb wire, Chinese lettering that doesn't actually mean anything, etc.) and makes him look like he spent 20 years in San Quentin.
If you're going to mark your body permanently, at least do it with a tattoo that has a real personal meaning, not some stupid, cliched crap like a fairy/butterfly on the ankle or those fucking nautical stars every goddamn hipster has on their clavicles. BARF.

wow. don't know why you guys are catching feelings for or derailing his thread for. if you don't like the topic, you can always ignore it. it sounds like some of you actually fall into the categories that he mentioned.

Ketchup and mustard. (Green relish is okay, but certainly not salsa. And mayonnaise makes a pretty good lube in a pinch.)
I didn't derail his thread. I pointed out what I don't like - stupidity - as others were free to talk about not liking auras, smoking and other things. Apparently, he got hurt by that.
Maybe he should take his "dumb" ass to a corner and think about it for a second? Then I can take Shrek on a second date - I hear the guy has a lot of personality, an accent, and made billions in his lifetime. I can play house husband til I get me a Corvette and a mini-mansion.

Shaved legs. Absolutely repulsive to see that on a man.
Haha, true. But haven't you heard...nobody's perfect. Its not me that loses out if some guy doesn't give me a chance because something is 'off' about my body.
Enchanted is perfectly capable of setting himself those limits. But what is he gonna do when an attractive guy comes along, who can make him laugh, who has a great personality? Just be friends i guess. SOmebody is going to find their love-life waning as the years roll by. Karma is a bitch.
It must be in the head of the body of the man that I love, and it's the reason I married the man that I did. I think he's incredibly handsome, but if he didn't have the intellect to go with it, he and I would have been a one night fuck.
That's what separates average pretty from true beauty. The intelligence in their eyes.

I don't know--I can only speak on things I DO enjoy on a guy's body. I don't like limiting myself, as men come in so many varieties of HOT.
I don't really know what I would, or would not, tolerate on an individual guy's body ... I haven't met every guy in the world yet.
Religious tattoos.
I'm not Linda Blair, "Let Jesus fuck you."
well, there's some things people can control and some things people can't. there's things about ourselves that we have that we have to deal with. nobody is perfect and that's a part of being a human being. just hope that enchanted himself is willing to meet up to the same standards he sets for other people. it makes no sense to ask somebody to take care of their feet if you can't take care of your own.
as for things i wouldn't tolerate on a guy's body which most guys can take care of, a dirty asshole (some guys do not know how to wash their ass. it's a fetish for some guys outthere. not mine though. won't tolerate it at all. the moment i smell shit, it's over) a dirty dick. (some guys think because they're cut that their dick can't be dirty. cut or uncut, wash your dick.) funky armpits, bad breath, dirty hair, open sores that are bloody and undressed. basically, any body part that has to do with hygenie. just do your best to make sure you're clean if you plan on fucking, kissing or whatever.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
Oh,I'm also adding the pimples on my list.

Sam sent me this interesting was of cutting one way car rentals. We have remeoved the name of the US based company, but they are not trying harder, if that helps. And his follow up email gives an even more intriguing idea of pitting one country location against another countrys site for best rate guarantees.Thanks Sam
I read about your frustration over rental car drop charges-they drive me nuts too. I have been chasing a reasonable price for a 4 day rental from Boston to EWR in November but everything was nuts-the best I found was $380 with National for four days. Hertz was over $700.
1. The France xxxxx website is in French (duh) but it mirrors the US site so if you've booked on xxxx.com, you should be able to book on xxxxx.fr. Or you can open a window on both and just mirror the US fields as you go along.
2. My email confirmation for the final reservation has language in French that they may ask for proof that you were overseas (like a hotel bill), and that if you weren't in the country where you booked it, they can the void the reservation. I'm ok with that here since I am in that country (and I can prove it), and I'm keeping that National res open just in case. I did not read the warning language to say anything about continuity-I didn't see anything prohibiting booking a xxxxx res now from xxxxx.fr for a rental I'll pick-up four months after I get home. I'll have my email confirm with me at pick-up and while my French isn't great, it's likely better than the xxxxx counter person in Boston.

We put ceiling fans in three bedrooms that we bought from Lowe's. They came with a light kit with 4 bulbs. However, they use 40 watt bulbs, which give off next to no light. I replaced the 40 watt bulbs with 60 watts, but the fan, somehow, dims them down to the light output of 40 watts. I need a solution to this problem because the bedrooms are little dark -- and the wife HATES that! |

You may be SOL as the fan may ne internally regulated for 40W MAX. If that is the case, you can swap out for a CFL, if they make one that small, or go with a clear lamp instead of the frosted ones that come standard with the fan. |
I tried 40watt clear bulbs, and they do make CFLs with candelabra base, but they tend to flicker. Guess I'm just SOL..... But can you buy a fan that uses regular base bulbs and doesn't restrict them to 40watts? |
- Posted by azlighting (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 23:18
You can by a fan that uses regular bulbs, however you may have to search for them. Same goes for the 40 watt restriction. This is set by the manuf., so you will need to look for a fan from a manuf. that increases the max. wattage. |
Get some table lamps; they provide far more pleasant light. |
- Posted by ginger_light (My Page) on Wed, Nov 18, 09 at 22:20
Energy Conservation Act at work. One solution is to add recessed lighting if that option is possible for you. The days of being able to depend on a fan light to actually light a room are over due to the wattage restrictions. Adding 4 75 Watt recessed fixtures will usualy do the trick and yes be sure to add some lamps as well. I disagree with the previous post about the clear bulbs. They are awful and will only create glare. It is a total falicy that clear light bulbs have greater lumen output. What they product at the wattages over 25 is glare......the cfl's will not be brighter unless you can find the small ones in 23 watts. Please do not use the spring type in an open glass. UGLY.. Look for an enclosed one that looks more like a standard A type bulb. firstname.lastname@example.com |

Determining Solar Age
Name: Bob Status: educator Grade: 9-12 Location: GA Country: USA Date: Fall 2011
How does one measure how old the sun is?
Estimating the age of the Sun requires that we understand the progression/development of a star. From Nuclear Chemistry/Physics, we know the fusion process that a star undergoes, so knowing the ratio of H/He, etc (as obtained from a spectral analysis) tells us how long a particular star has been going through the fusion process. The mass of the Sun (taken from the orbits of the planets) gives us the type of star and tells us what is its expected history (how much gas was collected in its formation, what possible fusion mechanisms it can undergo, what stages there are in its lifetime). Putting all these together gives us a good estimate.

Fatty acids reduce your risk for chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease, decrease cholesterol levels and promote health of the blood and nervous system. According to the American Dietetic Association, 20 to 35 percent of your energy intake should come from fatty acids. Although some fatty acids come from plant sources, many come from meat and other animal products, especially fatty fish, so vegetarians need to take special care to include foods high in fatty acids in their diet.
Omega-6 Fatty Acids
The omega-6 fatty acids decrease cholesterol, body fat and offer some protection against cancer (see References 3). Although they also have animal-based sources, according to the American Dietetic Association, a vegetarian diet usually provides adequate amounts of omega-6 fatty acids without any special efforts from the vegetarian. Vegetarian foods high in omega-6 fatty acids include liquid vegetable oils, nuts and seeds. Vegetarians who consume eggs and butterfat also get omega-6 fatty acids from those sources.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids require a little extra effort for the vegetarian to obtain, as most of them come from animal sources. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) comes from plant sources like flaxseed, walnuts, canola and soy and will convert into other omega-3 fatty acids. However, the conversion rate of ALA to other fatty acids is less than 10 percent. The American Dietetic Association recommends that men consume 1.6 g of ALA per day, while women should consume 1.1 g. However, vegetarians need to consume more since they aren't directly ingesting other fatty acids. The body tends to convert ALA to other fatty acids at a higher rate when the person isn't consuming excessive amount of omega-6-containing foods. Since vegetarians avoid many of the omega-6 foods as part of their diet, this also helps them to meet their omega-3 needs.
Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Eggs are an excellent source of multiple omega-3 fatty acids for vegetarians whose diet allows the consumption of eggs. Plant-based sources of ALA for vegetarians who avoid eggs include flaxseed, walnuts, canola oil and soy.
Supplements and Algae
Microalgae also supply abundant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Microalgae supplements can boost intake of omega-3s for the vegetarian who's uncertain if she's consuming enough. In particular, the American Dietetic Association recommends supplements for pregnant and lactating vegetarians. Other vegetarian foods, such as soymilk and breakfast bars, have been supplemented with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 that comes from primarily animal sources and lacks in most vegetarian diets.

Facebook said to let some companies see pages you like
The social network allows select marketers to look at their fans' other interests to help plan advertising efforts, Adweek reports.
Facebook is letting some companies look at the other "Likes" of their fans. This means if you like a brand's page, that brand's marketers knows what your other "Likes" are, whether it be your favorite bands or TV shows, unidentified sources told the advertising magazine. For now, this tool is available only to "priority accounts," according to an AdWeek report.
When asked for comment or confirmation, a Facebook spokesperson initially said the company had nothing to share at this time. The company followed with this statement:
To help marketers build better campaigns, Facebook offers aggregated insights to managed clients that help them understand trends about their fan bases. These tools do not provide marketers with any data about their competitors' fan bases. As always, Facebook does not share user-specific data with advertisers.
Companies could this kind of information to plan their advertising strategy. Fans' interests, which could include favorite bands or TV shows, could help advertisers know how to stay relevant to consumers who have already expressed interest in their brand. This could manifest in which songs are chosen in TV ads or what partnerships are valuable.
Now that it's a public company, Facebook is under a lot of pressure to keep advertisers happy in order to make money. While this tool is valuable for advertisers, Facebook users may not feel so good about it. The social network's past attempt to advertise off Likes spurred a $20 million lawsuit .

2 Teens Win Soccer Trip To South Africa | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Soccer enthusiasts Tyler Anderson, of Bloomington and Jennie Scislow, of Lakeville, will travel with Best Buy chaperones and 14 other teens from across the United States to Johannesburg, South Africa to train at the Coca-Cola International Soccer Camp and attend a World Cup match.
Anderson attends Jefferson High School where he is on the soccer and golf teams. He was proud to be a starting member of the varsity soccer team his freshman year. He is also involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes program at school and volunteers his time coaching a U9 soccer team.
Scislow attends St. Croix Lutheran High School where she is on the soccer and track teams. She started playing varsity soccer last year as a seventh grader and went to state the same year in the 4x800 relay. This year, she's headed to state in the open 800m. Scislow also plays on the Minnesota Thunder Academy traveling soccer team year-round.
The local teens will be in South Africa from June 15 to June 20, 2010.
Anderson and Scislow are part of a group of teens who won the trip through Best Buy's teen-focused @15 program and will have the chance to connect with 200 other teens from around the world at the camp.
While in South Africa and upon their return teens will share their experiences on www.at15.com. They will refine their soccer skills with training and skills presentations by professional coaches, attend a World Cup match and experience South African culture with entertainment and educational activities.
To enter the competition the teens took the SparkFinder survey – a digital tool that helps teens identify their interests and talents – and completed the official entry form. Winners were selected in a random drawing from all eligible entries received.

Helen McGettrick is an experimental biologist who specialises in developing multi-cellular in vitro models to examine the processes by which tissue resident cells influence leukocyte adhesion and migration during inflammation. Helen's research focuses on leukocyte recruitment and stromal cell biology in health and disease, in which she has several publications. She is currently using this expertise in the fields of rheumatology, diabetes, stem cell biology and cancer biology. She has received grants from Arthritis Research UK, in the form of a Career Development Fellowship, Wellcome Trust and Enterprise Birmingham.
Video clip - Frustrated migration of human peripheral blood lymphocytes on cytokine-stimulated endothelium: During inflammation, lymphocytes migrate over the surface (white, bright cells), through and underneath (dark cells) activated endothelial cells to enter the tissue. If the lymphocytes do not receive an appropriate signal, their migration becomes frustrated, as they transit into and out of the endothelial monolayer searching for it.
Helen graduated from the University of Lancaster in 2001 with a BSc (Hons) in Biochemistry, during this course she spent a year studying aboard at Oregon State University, USA. She obtained a MSc. in Immunology from the University of Birmingham in 2002, undertaking a research project looking at neutrophil apoptosis (cell death) with Janet Lord and Dagmar Scheel-Toellner in the School of Immunity and Infection. She subsequently joined Gerard Nash's Cardiovascular Rheology Group in the School of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, where she completed her PhD in Medical Sciences in 2006.
Helen has continued to work in Birmingham investigating the processes controlling leukocyte recruitment and fate both in health and disease, focusing on the role of the tissue microenvironment. She was appointed as a University Fellow in Inflammation Biology within the System Science for Health multidisciplinary translational research consortium at Birmingham in 2011.
In 2012, Helen was awarded an Arthritis Research Career Development Fellowship to explore the role of synovial fibroblasts in regulating leukocyte accumulation during the development of persistent arthritis.
Helen is co-organising the 2nd British Society for Immunology, Leukocyte Migration Meeting in conjuction with colleagues at the University of Glasgow to be held in February 2015 at the University of Birmingham. She also co-organises a monthly seminar series for the Vascular, Thrombosis, Inflammation and Angiogenesis (VITA) arm of the Centre for Cardiovascular Sciences.

Previous Masters projects
Helen's research concentrates on the concept that the state of the local tissue (stromal) microenvironment defines the responsiveness of endothelial cells, and also the subsequent fate of recruited leukocytes. This has involved the development and validation of novel in vitro, multi-cellular, multi-layered static and flow-based culture systems. Her goal is to develop a more complete understanding of the molecular circuitry regulating tissue migration and egress during acute and chronic inflammation reactions, with a view to developing anti-inflammatory, pro-resolution therapeutic strategies. A novel approach that we areinvestigating is to manipulate the local stroma to instruct recruited cells to leave chronically inflamed tissue, in effect to "switch on" resolution, or alternatively to stop leukocytes entering the inflamed site by "turning off" recruitment.
RESEARCH ACTIVITY Endothelial-fibroblast interactions and leukocyte recruitment to the synovium Access to unique clinical samples from healthy and diseased synovium has allowed the simultaneous comparison of physiological and pathological responses. Rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts continuously activated adjacent endothelial cells inducing unwanted leukocyte infiltration. Conversely, healthy dermal fibroblasts demonstrated a regulatory capacity, reducing lymphocyte recruitment in vascular constructs exposed to inflammatory cytokines. Fibroblasts (dermal, synovial and bone marrow) also have the ability to retain/trap endothelially recruited cells. Extending this work further, Arthritis Research are funding a Career Development Fellowship to examine the hypothesis that as non-resolving disease develops, a fibroblast phenotype is acquired that perpetuates leukocyte infiltration, and that in resolving arthritis this phenotype is never established. Results of this work will be important in the development of novel therapies for Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Immunomodulatory effects mesenchymal stem cells on leukocyte recruitment
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent stromal precursor cells. As well as having the potential to differentiate and repair tissue, MSC are increasingly recognised as being able to modulate immune responses. Evidence suggests that they can dampen the innate immune response, but interestingly they may also modulate development of adaptive immune responses relevant to chronic inflammatory disorders by modifying recruitment and fate of T-cells. For example, MSC reduce the levels of leukocyte recruitment when they are cultured with vascular endothelial cells. Alternatively, differentiation in situ may modulate their ability to influence the progress of a local chronic inflammatory response.
Vascular-lymphatic endothelial cell crosstalk and leukocyte exit from tissue The key step in leaving tissue is for leukocytes (namely T-cells) to migrate through endothelial cells lining the lymphatic vessels. Leukocytes obtain messages as they migrate into tissue though vascular endothelium, which change their subsequent behaviour and ability to migrate through lymphatic endothelium. In addition, vascular endothelial cells communicate with neighbouring cells, including lymphatic cells, to regulate migration. This project investigates how lymphatic endothelial cells 'talk' to vascular endothelial cells and leukocytes, to modulate (i) entry, (ii) transit through and (iii) exit of T-cells from inflamed tissue.

Depending on the roster size of your league, the idea of carrying both goalies from one team may not be a bad idea this shortened season.
We've already seen many teams turn to the their backups in the early going, with most of them rewarding the team with stellar performances. In fantasy, carrying both on your team in the past was just a wasted roster spot, but if you can land some of these backups on the waiver wire this week, you may just be picking up depth at the position that will potentially help you in the trade market before your league's deadline as well.
Here are a few goalies to target this week.
Ducks goalie Viktor Fasth: (Owned in 52 percent of yahoo! Leagues / 88 percent of ESPN Leagues) The expected starter at the beginning of the season, Jonas Hiller, went down with a lower-body injury Friday vs. the Stars, but even before the injury, Fasth was earning unexpected starts. The undrafted rookie from Sweden is still a perfect 5-0-0 on the season with 1.72 GAA, good for for 3rd best in the league. With the Ducks off to a surprising start with eight wins in 11 games, owning both will allow you to wait to see how the team decides to manage the goalie situation when Hiller returns.
Jets goalie Al Montoya: (Owned in 3 percent of Yahoo! Leagues / 1 percent of ESPN Leagues) Montoya looked great in Saturday's win against Ottawa, earning his 3rd career shutout. So far this season, he has two wins and 2.67 GAA in three games, but may start to see more playing time with Ondrej Pavelec struggling to say the least. Pavelec owns a .885 save percentage this year, his worst percentage since the 2008-09 season with the Thrashers. The former second pick in 2005 has allowed four or more goals in four his nine starts. I still wouldn't drop Pavelec, so pick up Montoya, and ride with the Jets combo for the next while.
Capitals goalie Braden Holtby: (Owned in 54 percent of Yahoo! Leagues / 41.1 percent of ESPN Leagues) Holtby, who many owners drafted expecting him to start a majority of the games this year, looked great in the 5-0 win Saturday night against the Panthers. His shaky start in January (0-2-0, 10 goal against) probably forced your hand into dropping him, but even if you own Michal Neuvirth, pick him up. Holtby was awesome in last year's playoffs, and if last night's shutout was any indication, he's back!
Oilers Nikolai Khabibulin: (Owned in 4 percent of Yahoo! Leagues / 2 percent of ESPN Leagues) This one is a long shot, but even after just one game back from a hip injury, Khabibulin may be a smart pickup, especially for owners of Devan Dubnyk. The combo are no strangers to sharing time between the pipes, which is a plus. Last season, Khabibulin started 40 games for the Oilers, posting a 2.65 GAA with 12 wins. Dubnyk started 42 games, posting a 2.67 GAA with 20 wins. Owning both will not only help you pick up all future Oilers wins, but it will give you depth on the trade market if Edmonton chooses to move the 'Bulin Wall".
Other backups you may want to target are:
Blackhawks goalie Ray Emery (Owned in 13 percent of Yahoo Leagues / 6 percent of ESPN Leagues)
Stats: 3-0-0, 2.60 GAA, .920 Save%
Stole a game against the Flames last week, and may earn more starts down the road in place of starter Corey Crawford
Blue Jackets goalie Steve Mason (Owned in 5 percent of Yahoo! Leagues / 2 percent of ESPN Leagues)
Stats: 1-4-0, 3.00 GAA, .900 Save%
Looks like Sergei Bobrovsky and Mason may start splitting starts, but unless you need this tandem to reach your goalie starts for the week, leave them on the bench, or the waiver wire for that matter.
Penguins goalie Tomas Vokoun (Owned in 46 percent of Yahoo! Leagues / 68 percent of ESPN Leagues)
Stats: 3-1-0, 2.09 GAA, .927 Save%
Marc-Andre Fleury has started eight games, while Vokoun has earned four. At least owning this combo will give you wins, as Pittsburgh is once again a strong contender in the East.
Top 5 pickups on Yahoo:
1. Andy Greene (NJ)
2. James Reimer (TOR)
3. James van Riemsdyk (TOR)
4. Alex Steen (STL)
5. Saku Koivu (ANA)
Greatest Change in percentage owned on ESPN:
1. Andy Grenne (NJ) 54.1%
2. Marc Staal (NYR) 33.3%
3. Derek Morris (PHX) 31.6%
4. Lubomir Visnovsky (NYI) 31.4%
5. Dan Hamhuis (VAN) 26.9%
If you any fantasy questions this season, let me know in the comment section, and good luck this week.

Attributed to Epimenes Greek, Cyclades, about 500 B.C. Carnelian 5/8 x 3/8 x 5/16 in. 81.AN.76.22
A youth leans over to adjust the heel strap of his sandal, supporting himself on a staff. The precise identification of this figure is unclear: the youth may represent some mythological figure for whom sandals are meaningful, such as Theseus or Jason, or he may be a generic youth engaging in an everyday activity. The pose of this figure, standing but leaning over in some activity, was a favorite for carved gems in the late 500s B.C., yet this carver's skill in depicting a three-quarter view of the youth and in rendering the musculature in detail set this gem apart. Scarabs were pierced and generally worn as a ring or pendant. When attached to a metal hoop and worn as a ring, the beetle side faced out and the intaglio surface rested against the finger. When serving as a seal, the ring was removed, the scarab swiveled, and the intaglio design was pressed into soft clay or wax placed on an object to identify and secure it. Greek gem carving changed dramatically in form, materials, and technique in the-mid 500s B.C. One of these changes was the introduction of the scarab, with its back carved like a beetle and its flat surface an intaglio. The scarab form ultimately derived from Egypt, where it had been used for seals and amulets for centuries. Certain features of Greek scarabs, however, such as the form of the beetle and the hatching around the intaglio motif, show the influence of Phoenician models, which the Greeks probably saw on Cyprus.

After debuting late in 2013, little has been heard about DTS' Play-Fi, but now Polk and Definitive are the first major companies to announce products supporting the wireless music standard.
At this year's CES, audio was about wireless connectivity and decluttering, and this is something that makers of technologies like Dolby Atmos could learn from.
The Chinese manufacturer has revealed its Vidaa Max, a laser short-throw projector that can beam a 100-inch image from an 18-inch distance.
The Audiophiliac checks out the Datasat RS20i surround processor.
The Audiophiliac shares his wishlist for this year.
Version 5.2 of the Sonos software adds support for two or more accounts on many music streaming services.
Sonos has announced it is suing competitor Denon as it says the company's HEOS products are too similar to Sonos' own and infringe on at least four of its patents.
Ooh la la! This French sound bar wows the Audiophiliac!
Monster has announced three new Wi-Fi speakers as part of its new Monster SoundStage wireless music system, which also supports Bluetooth and TV audio.
Commentary: Sonos has done a great job of keeping competition at bay over the years, but a new industry initiative promises to crank up the volume on multiroom audio.

Swedish Institute for QualityFABRIKSGATAN 10
SIQ is a National centre for business excellence in Sweden. It is a non-for profit organisation founded in 1990. Founders are the government and the supporting members association, today represented by a cross industry group of about 100 companies and organisations.
The SIQ mission is to stimulate and contribute toward continuous improvement with a wide perspective in all kinds of organisations.
SIQ is running the Swedish Quality Award, aiming at finding good role models as well as providing detailed feedback to all participating organisations to help them in their journey towards success. It is awarded in two classes, large organisations with 200 employees or more and small organisations with fewer than 200 employees.Recognition is given to organisations in which site visits have verified a good level.
SIQ is also running the Quality Award, "A Better School", in close cooperation with the Swedish School Board on behalf of the Ministry of Education. The purpose of the award is to support the development of systematic quality work in Swedish schools and nursery schools.
In order to better safe guard the interest for the award among companies and organisations and to support their commitment, we invite them to participate in a network called "The challengers network". The network is about giving a forum to share experiences and challenges for management in such organisations that have stated their commitment to participate in a future award process. This way of working has proved to be effective, especially among principals in schools.
This year we received seven applications for the Swedish Quality Award, three of those categorised as large organizations. We also received eleven applications for the School Award.
The applicants participate by making a self-assessment, either as a "proforma process", or if preferred, based on a process incorporating a web survey with a management analysis. The web survey – called "inSIQt" (freely translated as "insight") - is based on the EFQM excellence model criteria and comprised of about ninety statements. These are responded to both by management and staff.
Each year SIQ train a large number of new assessors. This year approximately 100 people qualified for the training. By mixing more experienced assessors with new ones we safeguard a high quality standard. At the same time we can reach new organisations, as the assessors become "ambassadors" for business excellence. The Swedish Quality Award is presented by the end of the year through a ceremony where the king of Sweden is handing over the prize. The ceremony is in most cases located in the premises of the recipient, making it possible for many of their staff to participate.
In 2011 SIQ is running "The Quality Innovation of the Year Award" for the first time, aiming at stimulating more innovations of high quality. It is a joint arrangement between SIQ, Excellence Finland and Estonia. The award process offers an organisation the opportunity to measure them and get feedback on both quality and innovativeness. We received no less than thirteen qualified applications. The prize for 2011 was awarded to three Swedish organisations during a ceremony in Helsinki on the 10 th of November.
The basic idea of the Swedish Quality Management Academy (SQMA) is an investment in research and on collaboration between universities in Sweden, which conducts research in the quality field. Sustained competitiveness requires continuous improvement of products, services and processes. Today´s quality defect costs in both industry and the public sector indicates a significant potential for improvement. In order to be able and exploit this improvement requires new knowledge and advanced methods. Research in the quality field is fragmented and requires a joint effort of several universities to create a focus to find solutions. The establishment of the Swedish Quality Management Academy aims at accomplishing research based on organisational identified needs and to serve as a bridge between science and application in the quality field. The platform offers a close research collaboration and the formation of a cross-sectorial innovation system in which business, public sector and academia are linked through SIQ. By establishing the platform, the Swedish research in this area becomes a critical resource for knowledge about successful Total Quality Management.

Third Millennium Bible (TMB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "O, that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! When I should find thee outside, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised. | 1 If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me. |
2 I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me; I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate. | 2 I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates. |
3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. | 3 His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me. |
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up nor awake my love, until he please." | 4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. |
5 "Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree; there thy mother brought thee forth; there she brought thee forth that bore thee." | 5 Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover? Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth. |
6 "Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm; for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave; the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame." | 6 Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. |
7 "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned." | 7 Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. |
8 "We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts; what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? | 8 We have a young sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for? |
9 If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver; and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar." | 9 If she is a wall, we will build towers of silver on her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar. |
10 "I am a wall, and my breasts like towers; then was I in his eyes as one that found favor. | 10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment. |
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver. | 11 Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon; he let out his vineyard to tenants. Each was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels of silver. |
12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me; thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred." | 12 But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit. |
13 "Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice; cause me to hear it." | 13 You who dwell in the gardens with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice! |
14 "Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices." | 14 Come away, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the spice-laden mountains. |

Justice in His Name
Announcing Book of Judgement, a supplement for Dark Heresy |
Dark Heresy | Published 17 August 2011 |
"There are no depths which we may fly above, no chasm we may bridge. It is our duty to fall into the pits, and there drag the unworthy before Judgement."
–Arbitrator Linger
The Calixis Sector is plagued with heretics, recidivists, and the unworthy...and they all dwell beneath the faithful servants of the God-Emperor, eroding the backbone of the Imperium's war machine. Whether it is a planetary noble skimming off the top, or a seditious terrorist planning the destruction of an entire Hab-block, it is the Adeptus Arbites who bring them to judgement.
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Book of Judgement, a supplement for Dark Heresy!
Book of Judgement is a guide to crime and punishment in the Calixis Sector, and provides a powerful resource for Dark Heresy campaigns that feature Imperial Law as a story foundation. This detailed supplement contains new rules, backgrounds, alternate careers, and equipment for playing Acolytes with legal authority or a criminal past, and provides players with information about the Adeptus Arbites' mission to bring order to the Calixis Sector. Game Masters of all experience levels will find expanded Investigation rules and a new adventure, Jurisdiction, that plunges the Acolytes into a conflict between three of the Imperium's most powerful organisations.
A Council of Judges
For more on Book of Judgement, here's a word from Dark Heresy's lead developer:
I count myself extremely lucky in having worked with the team responsible for Book of Judgement. In addition to such veteran talents as Graham Davey and Charles May, the group was joined by Matthew Farrer, author of the Shira Calpurnia novels from Black Library. It was a great pleasure to dive into the Adeptus Arbites of the Calixis Sector with the assembled team of writers and I can't wait for this book to be in the hands of players.
We worked tirelessly to stuff this book full of useful tools for GMs and Players alike. All the usual suspects are here: new Cell Directives, Alternate Career Ranks, Backgrounds, and, of course, tons of background information on the precincts of the Lex Calixis. A chapter focused purely on the creation of compelling mysteries distills over fifty years of combined GM experience, offering exciting ways to craft your own mystery and drive a game session forward through the players' actions. We even included Jurisdiction, a full adventure focused on the overlapping interests of three Imperial factions.
One of the pleasures of creating a book like this is getting to truly delve into the ancient histories of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Games Workshop has been crafting this game world for over two decades, which provides a wealth of information. Having an opportunity (or a responsibility) to read everything I could about crime and judgement was an quite an experience. The bleak, dare I say grim, nature of justice in the dark future is filled with twists, turns, interpretations, and executions. Bringing that feel to Book of Judgement was, frankly, a lot of fun!
Keep checking back in the coming week as we offer previews, and look for Book of Judgement on store shelves in the fourth quarter of 2011!
Dark Heresy is a roleplaying game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, a setting in the grim darkness of the far future. Players take on the roles of Acolytes serving the Inquisition, rooting out heresy and corruption from within the galaxy-spanning Imperium of Man.
Sweet Jokareo-ninja Jesus, Matt Farrer is in there (oh, well, not literaly of course...)! Such cooperation of BL authors, such as Herr Farrer, or IIRC Andy Hoare in Rogue Trader, rises hopes for future. I would love to see Steve Parker, Steve Lyons, Gav Thorpe or Sandy Mitchell working on Only War.
"And mostly there is a huge section in the back that ruins any Dark Heresy game. Its called Grey Knights. Grey Knights should have been a supplement/alternate setting for Deathwatch, not Dark Heresy."
I really can't agree with you here, and for a few of reasons:
1. The idea that it 'ruins' a game of Dark Heresy is quite a silly exaggeration and/or a fantastic big of Internet Hyperbole. It's like any part of any of these books, if you don't like it, you don't lose it. How does it impact your game at all if you don't use it? Its mere presence in print doesn't somehow ruin games now, does it?
2. Deathwatch =/= Grey Knights. Deathwatch is about (and this may sound obvious) the Deathwatch, an institution which is made up of a conglomerate of Loyalist Chapters to fight a specific threat. The Grey Knights are a Chapter unto themselves with no cross-over with other Loyalist Chapters, acting against an even more specific threat. The two do not overlap, and including the Grey Knights with Deathwatch would have muddied the water.
3. The Grey Knights occupy the same space as Ascended characters, in that they are a different way to play Dark Heresy (rather than a whole different game, like Deathwatch). Given that Dark Heresy is a game centred around the Inquisition and the investigations they conduct, and that Ascension takes that one step further to actually playing the Inquisitor himself (or herself), Grey Knights are the logical third tier of that, the hugely powerful armed response the Inquisitor's call in when it is something they cannot handle themselves.
Anyway... Book of the Judgement is one I'm looking forward to getting.
Hmmm, interesting. Personally I'm waiting for the Adept and Tech Priest book but this sounds like it might be an interesting purchase if I can work up the funds.
Thanks for the short write-up.
As for demons, I would encourage everybody to try to get a hold of an ancient RPG called The Whispering Vault. I basically ported over the evils from that RPG to the W40k, because to be honest, I sometimes find W40k demons quite laughable. Now those things in The Whispering Vault RPG (and in Dangerous Prey, a sourcebook for this RPG) are frankly terrifiying. Just like demons should be. Another good example of a warp creature done right can be found in one of Matt Farrer's books, yet another reason why I'm hyped for the Book of Judgement - Farrer knows his stuff.
Daemone Hunters in itself is not a horrible book (see Ascension). Its issue is it fails toe ver complete a thought or follow through on a threat. It has some new character options, but noting inspiring, it has some new gear, but mostly forgettable, it has daemons, but not really hunters.
And mostly there is a huge section in the back that ruins any Dark Heresy game. Its called Grey Knights. Grey Knights should have been a supplement/alternate setting for Deathwatch, not Dark Heresy.
What I look for in a new Dark Heresy book is: FLavor that adds to any campaign. New character options available straight at rank 1 with some for later as well. Not just be a big book of guns. New stats. New worlds. New monsters. And a decent adventure, if it insists on having one.
I like Daemon Hunter.
I feel lonely.
Well its not going to be hard to top the half finished product that is DH, lets hope this get the line back on track.
yeah that pic was a bit "WTF?" that pic above also make up for the next turkey, should one get painted! :p ;)
Also, with the above picture Matt Bradbury is officially forgiven for that T-rex picture in The Emperor Protects... way to go, Matt!
What's wrong with Daemon Hunter? I haven't purchased the book myself yet, so I'm hunting for opinions... and your reviews seem to be quite accurate. Thanks!
Well following the up...down..up....down....down...up pattern of Dark Heresy books, this should be a up. (Up Blood of Martyrs, Down Black Sepulchre, Down Daemon Hunters)
Can't wait for it; a step closer to Only War true, but an important step into itself
