Arsenic: An Abundant Natural Poison (Released March 2009)
Arsenic is an element found in nature in rocks, soils, water and air—in fact, it is one of the most common elements on earth. While arsenic has been used historically in industry in fertilizers and preservatives, it is probably best known as a poison, toxic to humans who ingest it. Large doses are fatal relatively quickly, while smaller doses over time can cause diseases such as several types of cancer and skin disorders. Arsenic can become an environmental hazard when it is "weathered" from local geologic units and enters the groundwater supply. In the world today, many populations are at risk for arsenic poisoning due to exposure from contaminated drinking water.
History and Use
One of the most famous series of poisonings was by the Borgia family, specifically Pope Alexander VI (Pope from 1492-1503), his son Cesare, and perhaps his daughter Lucretia. During their lifetime an interesting church law allowed for confiscation of property following a victim's untimely death.
The Pope encouraged cardinals to increase their personal wealth, then invited wealthy cardinals to the Borgia's home where they were served a meal with arsenic laced wine. Upon death, the victim's property was seized, so that soon the Borgias were one of the wealthiest families in Italy. The scheme ended with a strange twist of fate. One day some cardinals were scheduled to attend the Borgia's home for dinner. The Pope and his son arrived home early and were, perhaps mistakenly, served a poisoned bottle of wine. The Pope died quickly but his son survived. He was, however, never in a position of power again and was unable to continue the scheme. (R. Smith 2005)
On the morning of May 25, 1806 Wythe followed what seemed to be his normal routine. During breakfast he was served coffee laced with arsenic. Later that day he, along with a servant, Lydia Broadnax, and former slave, Michael Brown, were all taken ill with severe abdominal pain. Michael was a benefactor in Wythe's will. Wythe's nephew, George, knew that if Michael died before he could claim his inheritance the legacy would revert to him. Michael died on June 1; however Wythe hung on to life and despite the pain his mind remained clear. On June 5th he told those assembled at his bed "I am murdered" and died on June 8th. Lydia survived the poisoning, and reported to the authorities that she had witnessed George adding something to the coffee. His room was searched and yellow arsenic was found. He was acquitted of murder primarily because Lydia was barred from the trial, since in Eighteenth Century Virginia, "Negros were not permitted to testify against white men." (Howard 2007) In the hours before his death, however, Wythe had his will changed leaving nothing to George. (Howard 2007)
Throughout history and today arsenic has had uses other than sinister ones. From the US Civil War (1861-1865) to 1910 it was the main ingredient in embalming fluids. (Konefes and McGee n.d.) From the late 1800s to the 1960s it was heavily used in pesticides; indeed, pesticides accounted for the greatest use of arsenic for the first half of the twentieth century. (Robinson and Ayotte 2006) (Bleiwas 2000)
During Victorian times women applied an arsenic compound to whiten their faces. (Mead 2005) At the same time some women consumed an arsenic solution, known as Fowlers Solution, which was especially popular with Victorian era prostitutes because it gave them rosy cheeks. Fowler's solution was a 1% potassium arsesnite solution that damaged the blood vessels in the skin, hence the rosy complexion. (Bentley and Chasteen 2002)
Arsenic was mined in the US for most of the 20th century and primarily used in pesticides. Production peaked in 1944 at 24,800 metric tons. The peak consumption years were during World War II (WWII) when the US used approximately 30,000 metric tons per year. After WWII, with the decline of arsenic pesticides, domestic production dropped to generally less than 10,000 metric tons/year. Domestic production continued to decline to 2,200 metric tons in 1985. Since 1985 there has been no US production of arsenic and all consumption has been via imports. Consumption generally declined after WWII to a 54 year low in 1976 of 9,700 metric tons. From 1977 to 2003 domestic consumption dramatically increased for use in pressure-treated lumber. A high of 30,100 metric tons occurred in 1998, with over 85% of domestic consumption for pressure treated lumber. (Kelly, Matos, et al. 2009) On December 31, 2003, upon a directive from the US EPA, the domestic pressure treated lumber industry stopped using arsenic. (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2008) US consumption dropped from 21,600 metric tons in 2003 to 6,800 metric tons in 2004. (Brooks 2008)
Throughout history arsenic has been used in various medicines. Most had limited to no real benefit. In the mid 20th century some drugs containing arsenic, known as arsenicals, showed some effectiveness on human trypanosomiasis (a parasitic protozoan). However, arsenicals are toxic and caused death in 5 to 10% of the patients. Despite the danger, these drugs are still used in Africa today. (American Cancer Society 2009) A recent medicine, arsenic trioxide, has shown effectiveness on acute promyelocytic leukemia, APL. It received FDA approval in 2001. (Bentley and Chasteen 2002)
Today arsenic is used in pesticides (850 metric tons in 2004), glass making, nonferrous alloys and electronics. One contemporary use that may increase is in semiconductors used in light emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells. The compound gallium arsenide, GaAs, is used for some semiconductors. (Brooks 2008)

Choking in the final round of 1993 Mouseketeer auditions did not stop Jessica Simpson's rising star. The anti-Britney released her first album Sweet Kisses, full of innocent pop songs like "I Wanna Love You Forever," and began her six-year, on-and-off love affair with fellow teen heartthrob Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees in 1999. Despite going more tarty bubblegum and showing skin on her 2001 CD, Irresistible, sales are disappointing and the preacher's daughter instead became a household name through 2003's Newlyweds, the hit MTV reality show that charted her first year of marriage to Lachey and exposed just how ditzy a blond she was. Before splitting from Lachey in late 2005, she sang at fellow Texan George W. Bush's inauguration ceremony, donned Daisy Dukes for a big-screen adaptation of Dukes Of Hazzard and became an ambassador for Operation Smile. She rebounded with John Mayer before playing the field with Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo for two years. She gave country music a try with Do You Know, but ultimately found more success as a fashion mogul and reality star (She produced/starred in VH1's The Price of Beauty in 2010 after enduring public body bullying over minor weight gain and a bad pair of mom jeans. She is also a mentor on Fashion Star.) She has also found happiness with former NFL player Eric Johnson, who proposed in May 2010 and proceeded to quickly knock Simpson up in 2011. Nearly eight months after welcoming daughter Maxwell, Simpson confirmed they are expecting another child in 2013.

When I was a Junior in high school (1983-4), I had to write one of those "where I'll be in 20 years" essays. At the time, I was sure that I'd be a successful chemical engineer (CE) with several patents to my name.
How naive we can be...
Although I did a short stint as a chemist (and have the patents to show for it), I've been a full-time geek for the last 20 years. I've been able to wear all the hats in the IT industry—frequently simultaneously—and love solving problems using the A-to-Z of technology: from automation (based on code I write—long live Perl!) to wireless (and any other sort of networking) and everything in between. I cut my teeth on NetWare 3.11 and 10Base-2 after receiving my CS degree, and have had my code and solutions integrated into finished products being sold by vendor partners.
Today I have the pleasure of working as a "delivery engineer," implementing techical solutions with an emphasis on VMware- and virtualization-related products.

William Stafford Centennial
William Stafford's poetry appeals to a wide range of people across all walks of life. On the occasion of the centennial of his birth, we look at the life and impact of Oregon's award-winning poet laureate.
The Stafford Centennial: A Conversation
January 17 would have been William Stafford's 100th birthday. Stafford wrote more than 60 books before his death in 1993. He was a husband, a father, a teacher and a poet whose work resonates for people still.
Think Out Loud hosted a live conversation at Multnomah County's Central Library in downtown Portland. Friends, family and admirers shared stories and talked about his life. Below is a clip about a life lesson he gave his kids: "Don't forget to talk to strangers."

Stafford's Words in Calligraphy
The Portland Society of Calligraphers is working on an exhibit of 40-plus pieces of artwork based on the words of William Stafford. The work will be placed at Marylhurst University and the Main Branch of the Multnomah County Library in downtown Portland in April.
Arts & Life sat down with Carol DuBosch, a master calligrapher whose work will be featured in the exhibit and who has spent the last 50 years working in the art of crafting letters.
Influence On a New Generation
Portland State University's Ooligan Press published a poetry anthology inspired by the work of William Stafford. We Belong in History: Writing With William Stafford is a celebration of the poet through a lens of his lasting impact. The anthology is a collection of work from Oregon middle- and high-school students influenced by Stafford.
Ooligan received more than 50 poetry submissions from six schools and a few individual student writers. The best poems were selected and published.
Think Out Loud talked with the project manager of the anthology and three of the published student authors. Listen to each of them read a poem and talk about their process and craft:

A Photographer
William Stafford is largely known for his work in poetry. However, he also left behind another large body of work — more than 16,000 negatives from his life as a photographer.
In the early '60s, Stafford and his family went on a walk and passed by a garage sale where a retired FBI officer was selling his darkroom.
"On a whim, my dad bought this old beast of an enlarger and the trays and so on," says Kim Stafford, William Stafford's son. "My poor sisters came home from school one day and the inside of their playhouse was painted black. We found out later you're not supposed to paint a darkroom black because you can't see anything."
STAFFORD'S Work Ethic
Every day for 50 years, William Stafford would rise before dawn and get something down on paper.
Stafford's son Kim Stafford says his father would usually start by writing the date, followed by something ordinary like a recent memory or a dream. Then came something poem-like.
"It would lift off into poetry, often," says the younger Stafford. "Not by strain, but by the natural buoyancy of the language."

Confronting the resurgence of Biblical literalism, this unique and timely book should be in the hands, on the desk, and in the library of any anyone serious about understanding and communicating the depth and breadth of the Christian message in the contemporary world. The author is President of The Center for Progressive Christianity, Cambridge, MA which "provides guiding ideas, networking opportunities and resources for progressive churches, organizations and individuals with connections to Christianity."
The reason Adams wrote his book is stated in the introduction. He writes, "In my opinion, Christians who can't cope with metaphors have done their best, perhaps unintentionally, to spoil the faith for the rest of us. Part of progressive Christianity's task is to reclaim the classic metaphors for what they are: figures of speech that inspired beautiful narratives. To name a few: Son of God, Resurrection of the Dead, Body of Christ, and Kingdom of Heaven." To understand that the Bible is metaphorical means that it contains words which are used both in a non-literal way and in a more than literal way.
The book references an exploration of over one hundred and fifty metaphors from Abba to yeast. The root meaning and social context of each word is explained. Then the reader is given a list of some of the verses from Scriptures using the word. Finally, the author offers his interpretation of the original use of the metaphor and its relevance today. An abbreviated sample, using the metaphor Son of God, will illustrate this structure. (Pages 242-43)
"In using the metaphor Son of God for Jesus, his followers were being as subversive as they were in calling him Son of David or Son of Man. The great conquerors who became emperors, such as Alexander the Great and Augustus Caesar, called themselves sons of God in order to encourage loyalty among their subjects. They encouraged stories of their virgin births in order to back up their claims. Anybody calling Jesus huios tou theou in Greek, would have been putting Jesus on a par with the Roman emperor. Ever whispering such a title for Jesus was a subversive move, but the term appears in all four gospels and in many of the epistles."
The five verses, using the metaphor Son of God, from the four gospels and one epistle are given. Also a verse from the book of Genesis is given to show it is "not without precedent in the Hebrew Scriptures."
The author points out that of the three "Son of" metaphors (son of Adam, David, and God) only Son of God has ever been taken literally." The consequence is that "by the fourth century, many Christians were attempting to explain how God was in reality the father of Jesus in a way that was different from God's being the father of everyone." He writes, "Trying to come up with a logical explanation of how Jesus could have been both a human being and God caused great controversy among the church leaders, ultimately leading to a major split in the church."
Writing of the contemporary relevance of the use of the metaphor, Adams states that the church "is similarly divided today over the question: Is calling Jesus the Son of God stating a presumed fact or employing a useful metaphor? For those in the first camp, being a Christian is a matter of believing. For those in the second, being a follower of Jesus is more a matter of experience. . . Using the metaphor Son of God helps them express the depth of their experience, which they cannot describe adequately using ordinary language in ordinary ways."
Indexes to the Hebrew and Greek words and to Bible Citations used are provided. Now that the book is available I cannot imagine being without it.

Study: Western-Muslim Tensions Getting Better
July 28, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Amelia T.
After Herman Cain's recent declaration that American communities should be able to ban mosques, it would be easy to understand why relations between Muslim and Western countries might be strained. A new study from the Pew Center has some mildly hopeful news: although tensions between Muslim and Western publics are still palpable, they've gotten slightly better in the past five years. While both populations still hold negative stereotypes of each other, Westerners (i.e. US residents and Western Europeans) are less likely to say that they had bad relations with Muslim countries than in 2006. Muslims, however, aren't as optimistic.
Ironically, each population characterized the other as "fanatical and violent." Muslims in the Middle East and in Southeast Asia were likely to say that Westerners were "selfish, immoral and greedy," while Westerners criticized the residents of Muslim countries for refusing to tolerate or respect women.
Even though Westerners think that relations are getting better, while Muslims say that their impressions of Westerners are as bad as they were five years ago, there may be more of a consensus on whose fault it is. Muslims overwhelmingly blamed the West for tensions, and while many Westerners did blame Muslim countries, a sizable percentage were also willing to point the finger at themselves.
In a change that perhaps reflects the general mood surrounding the Arab Spring, "Muslims and Westerners believe corrupt governments and inadequate education in Muslim nations are at least partly responsible for the lack of prosperity." And both Muslims and Westerners are concerned about Islamic extremism.
What the report highlights is the extent to which assumptions about relations between Muslim and Western countries shape the stereotypes that the two populations assign to each other. It's important, also, to break down these monolithic categories into area-specific groups.
For example, Indonesian Muslims are more likely to associate positive traits with Westerners, while Pakistani Muslims (for obvious reasons) have increasingly negative feelings about Western relations.
Identity is also a slippery category. While Muslims overwhelmingly identify with their religion, rather than their country of origin, European Christians are equally likely to say that their national identity is more important than their religious identity. There is a palpable divide in the United States, although 7 in 10 evangelical Christians identify first with their religion. Unsurprisingly, there was a strong consensus among Westerners that Muslims living in the West did not want to assimilate into Western culture. People without college degrees were more likely to "believe that Muslims want to remain distinct from the broader society."
While the report does not provide answers to mending the rift between Western and European countries, it does break down some of the complexities in fascinating ways.
Woman Serves as Mosque President
August 13, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Jeff Swicord , VOA
Salmenna Sedique prays, at far left. |
Toleda, Ohio–05 August 2009–Some in the West have long held negative stereotypes toward the Islamic faith, particularly when it comes to the role of women. But if one woman in Toledo, Ohio has her way, that is about to change. She was recently elected president of a local Islamic center. She oversees the operations of a community center, school, and mosque, including the activities of the Imam. Her goal is to show the non-Muslim world that women of Islam can do and achieve anything they want.
Like many Afghan women, Salmenna Sedique enjoys spending quiet time with her family in their Toledo Ohio home.
But unlike some of her counterparts, Salmenna also plays a prominent role outside the home, in Toledo's Muslim community.
She is the first woman president of the Masjid Saad Islamic Center, which includes an Islamic school and mosque.
"It is a hard position for anyone to run, Salmenna said. "It is a responsibility. And every single second I am thinking, am I going to fulfill it in the right manner, in the right way?"
Toledo Ohio is an old industrial city in the middle United States. The Masjid Saad center started as a small prayer area at a local University more than twenty years ago.
It has grown to a community of over one thousand people. Women play prominent roles in all aspects of the center's life.
Salmenna wants to change the negative stereotypes held by some toward Islam — particularly, the role of women. She says rules that say women cannot be educated, or leave the home without the company of a male family member, or must be covered, are rooted in culture, not Islamic tradition. She says, in Islam, those issues are a matter of choice and points to the role women played in the household of the Prophet Mohammed (s).
"They were not hiding," Salmenna says, "They were not behind the curtains; they were not behind the walls. They were going to battles, they were in business."
Salmenna also plays a prominent role in the family business.
She keeps the books and maintains the computer system at her husband Ahmad's auto dealership. It was her husband who pushed her to become president of the Islamic center. "We needed somebody in our community right now to work and organize it. And she is qualified for that," Ahmad Sedique says, "And I am fully supporting her for that."
Salmenna says leading by example is the best way to change perceptions. She encourages young people to get more involved at the center. Today, these young women are planning youth group activities, but were shy about talking with us on camera.
Salmenna wants to see more action from Muslims outside the center. "We don't have people in politics, we don't have people to fill out the social working areas. They don't look at it as a priority, but to me," she adds, "it is a priority."
Her appointment as president is for one year. She encourages women to educate themselves, get involved, and stand up for their Islamic rights.

Survey shows increase in marine loans
Posted onAll respondents to a recent survey by the National Marine Bankers Association said the dollar volume of loans booked in the first quarter of 2011 was up from the same period last year.
The survey, conducted earlier this month, was done to gauge changes in the lending environment and identify trends that could be used for business planning.
Thirty percent of association lender members responded, including loan originators/brokers, financial services firms and banks, with the majority having a national presence.
Asked about their outlook for the second quarter, 92 percent indicated that they expect business to increase from the same period in 2010. Other responses indicate that credit quality is up and that lending criteria are mostly the same or less stringent.
All respondents reported a more positive mood among retail buyers and 75 percent saw increased interest in boat loans.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Pakistan Pulls Out of Liaison Posts; US Concerned
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD (AP) a** Pakistan on Tuesday temporarily recalled some troops
from border posts meant to coordinate activity with international forces
in neighboring Afghanistan. Authorities want to discuss how to improve the
process after NATO airstrikes last month killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, the
military said.
The decision highlighted current problems with coordination because U.S.
military officials seemed to think it was another retaliatory move by
Pakistan for the NATO strikes. The officials feared it would hamper
efforts to liaise with Pakistani forces and increase the risk something
could go wrong again.
The troops were recalled Tuesday for "consultation" and should be back at
their posts within the next few days, said a senior Pakistani military
official. The official did not specify how many troops would be recalled
or how many would be left at the border centers.
U.S. military officials said late Monday that Pakistan was pulling out of
at least two of the three centers along the border. Both the U.S. and
Pakistani officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the
sensitivity of the issue.
The U.S. and Pakistan have offered different accounts of what led to the
NATO attacks against two army posts along the Afghan border before dawn on
Nov. 26, but the deadly incident seems to have been caused in part by
communication breakdowns.
The soldiers' deaths have plunged the already strained U.S.-Pakistan
relations to an all-time low, threatening Washington's attempts to get
Pakistan to cooperate on the Afghan war despite billions of dollars in
American aid.
Pakistan retaliated immediately by closing its Afghan border crossings to
NATO supplies, demanding the U.S. vacate an air base used by American
drones and boycotting an international conference held Monday in Bonn,
Germany, aimed at stabilizing Afghanistan.
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani told The Associated Press in
an interview Monday that Pakistan wants to repair relations with the
United States. But there is still simmering anger in the country.
NATO attacks have killed Pakistani troops at least three different times
along the porous and poorly defined border since 2008, but the incident on
Nov. 26 in the Mohmand tribal area was by far the most deadly.
U.S. officials have said the incident occurred when a joint U.S. and
Afghan patrol requested air support after coming under fire. The U.S.
checked with the Pakistan military to see if there were friendly troops in
the area and were told there were not, they said.
Pakistan has said the coordinates given by the Americans were wrong a** an
allegation denied by U.S. defense officials. Pakistani officials have also
said the attack continued even after military authorities contacted one of
the border coordination centers.
Gilani said Monday that negotiating new ties with the U.S. would ensure
that the two countries "respected each other's red lines" regarding
sovereignty and rules of engagement along the border.
"We really want to have good relations with the U.S. based on mutual
respect and clearly defined parameters," he said in the interview at his
residence in the eastern city of Lahore.
Despite Gilani's gentler rhetoric, the gulf between the two nations
remains wide. U.S. officials have said the airstrikes have been the most
serious blow to a relationship that has been battered by a series of
crises this year, including the covert American raid that killed Osama bin
Laden in a Pakistani garrison town in May. Pakistan was outraged because
it wasn't told about the operation beforehand.
The Obama administration wants continued engagement even as Pakistan's
refusal to attack sanctuaries used by Afghan insurgents along the border
has fueled criticism in Congress the country is a duplicitous ally
unworthy of American aid.
Many analysts believe Pakistan wants to preserve its historical ties with
Afghan insurgents because they could be key allies in Afghanistan after
foreign forces withdraw.
Pakistan has said its troops are stretched too thin battling Pakistani
Taliban militants at war with the state. A gunfight between soldiers and
Pakistani Taliban fighters in the Kurram tribal area Tuesday left two
soldiers and 12 militants dead, said Wajid Khan, a local government
Even if Pakistan won't attack Afghan insurgents, U.S. officials hope
Pakistan will cooperate in pushing them to participate in peace talks.
Baldor reported from Washington. Associated Press writer Chris Brummitt in
Lahore, Pakistan, and Hussain Afzal in Parachinar, Pakistan, contributed
to this report.

Post Process Effects for visual impairments
Hi everybody
I am developing a project in which I simulate visual impairments using UT3. The player will be walking around a building and certain switches will apply visual impairments to their sight. For instance a switch will say "Glaucoma" and when pressing the switch, the player will instantly being seeing through the eyes of somebody with these symptoms. At the moment I am able to create a post process volume and apply effects to this volume, as well as use triggers to turn them on and off. All this really does is make things black and white, blurred etc. However I would like to do more complicated things. Can anybody help? 1. I want to be able to add a material over the screen, so I can simulate things like black dots in the person's eyesight for certain impairments. I've had a go at chaging the default PostProcessChain and applying a material to it but I can't get anything to show up. It is a shame that you cannot specify a material for the PostProcessVolume If anybody knows a way of doing this I would be really grateful!! 2. I would eventually like to be able to edit the PostProcess effects myself. I mean the actual algorithms. For instance the blur PP effect must have some underlaying code behind it, how can I have a look at that and create my own version for something like double vision? Thanks for you time and help, really appreciate it. Rob |

[545] Educational Recuts on a Portable Hard Drive: A New Paradigm for Personal Slide Collections.
Roy E Lee, David S McClintock, Carlos R Ponce, John R Gilbertson, Anand S Dighe, Yukako Yagi. Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston
Background: Personal educational slide collections are a cherished tradition in pathology. Digital whole slide imaging (WSI) has become the de facto method of teaching histology and pathology in medical schools, but are not used extensively in residency. In this study we describe a system for managing large numbers of WSI slides on an inexpensive, portable hard drive. This approach obviates many infrastructure barriers of clinical WSI systems such as file storage servers, technical expertise, and network bandwidth overload, and can be used in a wide range of resident education applications.
Design: A diverse collection of 426 deidentified surgical pathology slides, comprised of both biopsies and resections, underwent WSI and the image files saved on an external, 320gb laptop hard drive connected to a standard laptop by USB cable. A Microsoft Excel spreadsheet was constructed that allowed annotation of diagnosis, comments, and a direct clickable link to the digital file. This method was vendor agnostic because file formats from different scanner vendors were used. A Likert survey was created and designed to assess system usability, preferences, and performance, as well as user technical expertise, concerns, desired uses, and benefits for such a system.
Results: In total, the digital slides took up 144gb of hard drive space, less than half of total hard drive capacity. Currently, a 320gb external laptop-sized hard drive costs less than $50 US. Bandwidth issues were limited to the speed of the external USB connection, resulting in faster performance than with network-based WSI systems. Lack of programming expertise was not an issue as Excel spreadsheets formed the backbone of the system. Initial impressions were strongly positive, with many requests for copies for studying at home. The formal Likert study is currently underway at multiple institutions and its results will be reported at a future date.
Conclusions: An all-digital version of the educational slide collection on a personal hard drive offers many compelling advantages. Although scanning hardware is required, traditional server and network infrastructure is not. Such a system introduces new dynamics within pathology education that have not been utilized to their maximum potential: slides are now retrievable and duplicated within seconds, and private collections can now include immunohistochemistry, FISH, special stains, and content from the clinical pathology realm, such as ANA's and ANCA's. This pilot study will lead to a more formal evaluation of the system.

Flowers stolen from baby's grave
Sharame Marlatt makes her way through the Milton-Freewater Cemetery. She comes to pay her respects to her daughter, Emilynn. The toddler died from a blood infection when she was just two years old.
"It was very, very unexpected for our family," Sharame said.
But to add insult to injury, just last week, someone swiped the personalized flowerpot from her daughter's headstone during the night. It had her name, birth date and what Sharame calls her "heaven date" etched on it.
"My heart just sunk when I was driving up here and I saw that it wasn't here," she added.
Sharame bought more flowers, but the following day, they were gone again.
"I can't buy her toys for her birthday, I will never be able to buy her a car or a prom dress or a wedding dress," Sharame said. "I can buy her flowers, and for someone to take that from my family, I don't understand how they did that."
The manager of the cemetery says this crime is hard to stop.
"Almost every year, we do have some theft of cemetery flowers," said Cliff McReynolds.
Over the weekend, cemeteries in nearby Walla Walla and College Place reported similar thefts.
Reporter: "Why not string up some cameras or put in some security measures out here?"
Cliff McReynolds: "We just don't have the funds to do that, as well as the Internet."
The cemetery lies just outside the city limits. They rely on sheriff's units to patrol. As for Sharame, she's taking matters into her own hands to protect the now third centerpiece meant to grace her daughter's grave.
"I've got a group of people that are willing to sit out here till the wee hours of the morning to protect everybody else's flowers," Sharame said.
She leaves a laminated note in Emma's new flowers, pleading with a potential thief to know how they're hurting her family.
"Maybe they won't even read it, but if I can do everything that I can do to let these people know that we don't put flowers up here because they look nice," she said. "We put flowers up here for a reason."
Cemetery managers say the cost to outfit the entire cemetery would be almost $10,000.

ODU's Core Curriculum, taken by all undergraduates, is a series of courses that provide a unifying academic experience throughout each student's academic journey. The Core Curriculum is unique to Ohio Dominican.
ODU's Core Curriculum is a combination of four seminar courses and the general degree requirements. In the Core seminars, students draw from all of their courses to engage in thought-provoking interdisciplinary discussions, readings and experiences.
For example, in CORE 179 students could explore the nature of life through biology and science fiction as well as by attending a lecture by a world-famous author.
By emphasizing lifelong learning, critical thinking, strong writing and ethics, the Core Curriculum provides students with a solid foundation for careers and life experiences. It is this foundation that will make students valuable and competitive in today's changing job market.
Each year, Ohio Dominican explores one of the Core Curriculum themes campus-wide.
For example, in 2014-15 the theme is Community & the Common Good. This theme will be discussed and emphasized throughout the academic year and through campus activities, including classroom discussions, talks, and common readings.
Campus events will included visiting authors Connor Grennan, who wrote Little Princes, and Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.
Students generally take one seminar a year in numeric order. The first three years incorporate and are relevant to all academic disciplines. In the fourth year, student take a capstone course in their major.
CORE 179 is an exciting blend of common experiences, unique perspectives and creative learning methods. Here's a sample of some of the CORE 179 topics:
CORE 279 reflects upon the Common Good and asks the question, what does it mean to belong to a community?
CORE 379 reflects upon Justice and asks the question, how shall we live?
Both 279 and 379 courses are focused in various disciplines. Here's an example of some of these courses:
CORE 479 reflects on Truth and asks the question, What have we learned, and how will we continue to contemplate truth?
The Core seminars make learning interactive, integrative and relevant. With the problem-solving and strong communication skills developed in the Core, students will be prepared for careers, professional training, graduate school and life.

It's likely there will be unhappy cabin owners on Shuswap Lake this summer if the government makes good on its intention to pull illegal docks from the water and bill owners for the removal.
It seems there are many such docks as well, structures put in by those without lakefront property who thought it OK to drop a dock regardless.
You can't blame property owners for trying. After all, part of the allure of life at the lake is the appeal of a waterskiing, fishing, floating in the hit summer sun and diving into cool water.
Docks make boating easier. It's no fun to have to find a boat launch and haul a boat out of the water all the time.
Some will grumble about the plan, saying they should be entitled to have a dock if they own property, even if it is not connected to the shoreline. Of course, it would be easy, then, for those who rent property to also argue they should have the right to put out a dock.
And really, why do you need to even live out there at all? Why can't just anyone who likes the Shuswap throw in a dock and leave their boat in place?
We all know restrictions are needed, that without regulation, our popular places would soon become overrun.
Docks also take up space and too many of them clog the shoreline, destroying the recreational experience that attracts people in the first place.
When those places are natural environments with sensitive ecosystems to boot, the need for protection is made all the more important.
Many fish - especially salmon - pass through the lake to watershed spawning grounds. Their progeny pass back through the lake en route to saltwater. Biologists fear shoreline docks provide shade and refuge for predators (like trout), putting migratory salmon fry at risk.
The government is right to demand those illegal docks be pulled. Let's hope they follow through with action.

Ghostcrawler on the future of 5-mans {WoW}
May 26th 2009 1:14PM They do, but the achievement doesn't really give you anything by itself. There is only incentive to do it once, mostly if you are going for the mount. I agree with having recipes and other useful things drop. I also think it could be helpful to have epic gems drop, like in BC. If they made heroic dungeons the only source of epic gems, other than fishing, they would be packed. Or they could make it so that doing a 5-man boss in hard mode give a 10% chance to drop a higher level badge or something.
Ghostcrawler on the future of 5-mans {WoW}
May 26th 2009 1:06PM I would be a fan of hard mode bosses in each heroic 5-man or even a few 5-mans that are tougher and geared to people who have 10 or 25 man gear.
The bosses wouldn't even have to drop better items. I think that higher level badges or even epic gems would make it worth while.

The Martin Fury scandal: Karatechop reveals all {WoW}
Apr 30th 2009 7:16PM Well, the fact that he had the shirt at all shows that Blizzard screwed up somehow. I am more inclined to think that they accidentally mailed it to him than to think that it dropped off a mob or he hacked it somehow...
The Martin Fury scandal: Karatechop reveals all {WoW}
Apr 30th 2009 7:14PM I think this is along the lines of suddenly finding that you have $1000000 in your bank account. If you just assume that, "since the bank gave it to me, I can spend it," you are either horribly naive or lying to yourself because you simply want to spend it. At the same time, if you do spend it, you don't automatically go to jail for theft either. If/when they finally catch you, you just have to pay it back.
It was Blizzard's mistake, but these guys should have known better than to use the item. Just like receiving $1000000 in the bank, my first reaction would be to call those who gave it to me and ask, "Is this a mistake or am I just this lucky?"
I think I would slightly wonder too, if I received an item like that with charges. But I would still contact a GM... while I was running through Naxx25 with some buddies. ;) I think I would feel a little too bad about blasting my way through Ulduar... but everyone has a different opinion I'm sure.
I don't think he deserved a permanent ban. I think that a 48 hour ban and stern warning would suffice, along with removal of the achievements.
Also, I had a similar thing happen to me one time. I put in a GM ticket because I fell through the ground in Stranglethorn when I got off the zeppelin. When I logged back on later, I was unstuck and I found a message in my inbox that said, "thank you for purchasing the WoW collector's edition..." Basically, I got one of the collectors edition pets. I chose a Zergling. At first I thought it might have been a gift, but I eventually decided it was probably a mistake. Either way, I still have the little guy. I don't consider myself a bad person for not reporting it.

Apr 24th 2009 11:57AM @AShadowPriest
"you'd be insane to graduate from... heroics directly to 25 man raids"
I have to disagree here. Heroics drop epic gear that has the same item level as 10 man gear. I ran heroics until I got the best I could get from them. I also had quite a few badges to turn in for more ilvl200 gear. I went straight to Naxx25 and had no problems.
Why too many currencies actually helps progression {WoW}
Mar 6th 2009 12:36PM Something seems a little odd to me... I'm assuming that Ulduar10 gear will be the same item level as Naxx25 gear. So I see why it seems like a good idea to reuse the badges of valor. But this will introduce some problems... Are they going to allow 10-man T8 gear to be purchased with valor? If that's the case, many people will simply PUG Naxx25 to get it instead of progressing. Also, if 25-man T7 gear and 10-man T8 gear are the same level, how different will they be? I mean, they're each designed to fit well with the class they're made for... will they have the same stats?
My Buggy Valentine: Problems with Love is in the Air {WoW}
Feb 16th 2009 1:40PM I didn't have too big of problem with this achievement. I got everything except the black dress, but I stopped trying once I have the title... screw the black dress. Here are my experiences though:
Even dealing with the RNG, this took me less time than traveling for the elders, and it was much less tedious.
It took me 3 packs of candy to get all of them. I did get a 4th after I had completed the achievement though.
I bought 10 rockets from someone and got the achievement on my first try. I just bound the rockets to a hotkey, went to a deserted part of Orgrammar with no lag, and went nuts.
I didn't have to use my HS cooldown to get the gifts every hour. I just joined a BG with a short wait in Dal, ported to Org, got the gift, joined the BG when it popped, and then left it which put me back in Dal.
My main grinding was on Saturday... I spent ~4 hours going to Org, TB, and finally UC and getting 2 gifts at each. I stayed around the main areas and waited for the hearts to re spawn on NPCs instead of running all around town. I watched for people to get broken hearts. Once someone asked for mending, everyone was there. The trick was to click on people as they approached the main area of town. Often they were coming in for a mend, and I was able to mend them before they even asked.
A lot of people are complaining about the RNG, but isn't most of WoW based on a RNG anyway? Why should achievements be any easier to get than a piece of gear?

Clark said waiting until the end of the recession would have been too late.
Many poor people had to eat a lot of potatoes for a few weeks until distributors and importers resumed their normal produce contributions.
Mark Levin, co-owner of M. Levin & Co Inc., said Philabundance provides a worthy service.
"They do a great job distributing fruits and vegetables and other food to the homeless and needy," he said. "I'm surprised there aren't more organizations like that, but Philabundance fills a niche in our area."
Though no one likes to give away product, Levin said Philabundance people immediately visit his operation when the distributor has product he can't sell.
Levin, whose headquarters building is across the street from Philabundance's operations, said he often sees up to 40 vans and medium-sized trucks waiting to get into Philabundance so they can distribute food to hungry people.
"Their efforts should be commended," Levin said.
Many distributors regularly contribute.
"We give produce we can't sell here to them every week," said Todd Penza, salesman for Pinto Bros. Inc. "They are selective in what they take and don't take trash. They have to be able to use it. They are an important organization. People who can't afford fresh produce need a source for it."
Philabundance distributes goods to food banks throughout the East Coast, including New York and its Long Island and Staten Island boroughs, Pittsburgh, Virginia and South Carolina.

Recycle Old Holiday Lights | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
With Christmas over, many of us are starting to take down holiday lights and decorations. But what do you do with old, broken strings of lights?
Last year the Recycling Association of Minnesota recycled over 100,000 pounds of holiday light strings and put 200 people to work in Minnesota. Help them reach their goal of collecting 200,000 strands of unwanted lights this year by recycling yours.
The Como Park Zoo and Conservatory is one of the many places offering a spot for you to drop off your old holiday lights for recycling. You can drop off old lights at the visitor center.
Hennepin County is also providing drop off locations for old lights that need to be recycled. Click here for a list of locations in Hennepin County that are accepting lights.
The Recycling Association of Minnesota has created a statewide holiday light-recycling program called Recycle Your Holidays. You can drop off unwanted light strands at one of 400+ participating locations across the state November 15 through the end of January.
The program employs individuals with developmental disabilities at vocational centers throughout the state of Minnesota. Every light strand is dismantled by vocational center clients and then properly recycled.

Over the next few months, health reform will succeed or fail based on a few major flashpoints that will shape any new program, including the financing of health insurance and access to medical care itself. This is the third of a series of occasional posts that will explore these flashpoints, and how the media is explaining them to the public. The entire series is archived here.
It looks more and more likely that workers will be taxed on some portion of the health insurance benefits they get from their employers. A year ago, Candidate Obama derided Candidate McCain for advocating such a tax; President Obama may have to take a second look if there's going to be enough money to subsidize the uninsured who'll be forced to buy health insurance under the schemes currently on the table. Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf has suggested "significantly limiting" the tax-free treatment of health coverage. That approach, along with pressuring doctors and hospitals to lower their costs, Elmendorf told Senate leaders, could directly lower government costs and indirectly reduce private spending.
The economic argument for taxing benefits goes something like this: "When you tax an activity, you get less of it. When you subsidize an activity, you get more. We're subsidizing health insurance." That's what Harvard economist Katherine Baicker told NPR. The pro-tax crowd hopes that employers will eventually offer less-generous coverage. If good health insurance coverage suddenly becomes mediocre health coverage or worse, people will use fewer medical services and voila—health care costs will drop and bend the proverbial "cost curve." Studies have shown that when people must pay more themselves for care, they tend to use fewer services. Baicker isn't alone in her beliefs; other economists argue that, too. Yes, that's right—if people don't go to the doctor or get MRIs, those costs won't show up on the tab for national medical expenditures.
The equity argument goes something like this: If workers no longer get generous coverage, what they will get will be more in line with what other workers get. Health insurance will become more equitable—or, looked at another way, more people will have mediocre or poor plans. That's a concept that has been forgotten and missing from the reform debate, which has up to now focused on efficiency. But, then, equity is more important if the government provides the service, and efficiency is more important if the free market does. Reform proposals this year rely heavily on the free market.
Increasingly, we are learning that modest or less-than-modest coverage results in families being underinsured and forced into medical bankruptcy when serious illness hits. A recent study by researchers from Harvard and Ohio University reported in the American Journal of Medicine found that about 62 percent of all bankruptcies filed in 2007 were prompted by medical bills; three-fourths of those debtors had health insurance.
Is that the kind of health care equity we want? Some bloggers seem to think so. In his first column for Kaiser Health News, Jonathan Cohn argued why higher taxes will improve health—and, in the long run, accomplish the goal of guaranteeing insurance for everyone. A few days later, Merrill Goozner of Gooznews asked the pertinent question: Are there really a lot of Cadillac plans out there? Goozner argued that there is only one compelling argument for the tax—it's a form of progressive taxation. OK, but what does it do for the bankruptcy problem? Here's where journalists come in, and they need to dial into DOT CONNECTION mode real fast. All this taxation talk comes at a time when three recent studies point to serious problems people face when they have too little coverage.
The American Journal study reinforces earlier work showing that most bankruptcies in the U.S. are due to financial consequences of serious illness. A study reported in early June in health policy journal Health Affairs found that employer coverage may not be much of a guarantee against medical poverty. Research showed that sick people with modest incomes are probably underinsured, even with employer-based coverage. Out-of-pocket spending grew more than one-third from 2004 to 2007, the study said. The news was equally worrisome from the actuarial firm, Milliman, which released its fifth annual Milliman Medical Index.
The Index measures the average yearly medical spending for a typical family of four with employer-provided insurance. This year, the total amount this prototypical family spends on medical care will increase by more than $1000 from 2008—the third year in a row that there has been a double-digit percentage increase in the amount employees spend for health care.

I got this when Hard Candy had its 75% off sale, so I got it for only three bucks! I think the shadows show up nicely-- I usually don't put on bright colors, but this one was subtle enough not to make me look like a hooker, but bright enough for people to notice. My friend complimented me when I wore this, so I think it's a pretty good product. I love the design. It's too cute not to like!
Very handy pallete. Sheer chocolate favored lipglosses are irresistable, and the green eyeshadows (dark, medium and yellowy) work for basically anyone. wish the eyeshadows were a bit more sparkly than matte, but it's fine. came with nice mirror and two ended applicator, one side for eyes another side for lips, convenient and practical!
very nice for touch ups at the bar, club. Can fit in your pocket!
The e/s colors look super together, and are easy to blend. While using all three colors, I find it looks best if I add a darker green and a bit of black in the crease and outer corners just to give it a bit more depth.
As for the glosses, theyre pretty much sheer and they do smell alittle funny, but I love the texture. Very moisturising too.
Over all its good quality, and considering that certain e/s singles of the same quality can go for $20 or more, I suppose $13-15 for this palette is reasonable.
i received this as part of a birthday present and it is super cute. the packaging looks like a little casette tape and fits in the palm of my hand. it comes with three eyeshadows (bright green, soft lime green, muted yellow), three lipglosses (pink, coral and clear, although all three are relatively sheer), a double-ended applicator and a large mirror. this is a fun palette with decent staying power.
I bought this along with the Hard Candy Workout Mix and out of the two, I prefer this one. The packaging is cute and kitschy, shaped like an old cassette tape. When you open it, there's a large mirror, 3 glosses and a 1x1 inch square of 3 eyeshadows. A highlighter, light mint green and dark green. No obvious glitter, but shimmery. The colors are really cute together and they show up nicely. The lipglosses are very very sheer and smell/taste kind of funny but the brightest color looks good with the eyeshadow. The other ones are just practically clear. It's a cute set, but definitely not worth 15 dollars. Don't bother getting the workout mix tape because I could NOT get the colors to show up at all and trust me I really tried! I'd repurchase this but seriously, it's not worth more than 6 dollars in my opinion. It's a convenient little makeup palette and very cute.

You'll have to dig into the docs to find out. To resolve SCSI problems, check if the kernel can see your devices by looking at the output of "dmesg". If it shows all devices, then you're nearly there. But if not, missing device nodes are the least of your problems. And no, it is not normal for only the first drive to be seen; I have two drives both of which have always shown up in dmesg. So please post the relevant bits of dmesg output, including the SCSI controller and all devices. I'd try to partition your sdb and sdc, make filesystems on them, and copy lots of data onto them to ensure that the hardware's behaving. After all, this machine was probably built in the last millenium. Only if that works would I try to get RAID working (and I'd try just striping or mirroring sdb and sdc on their own first, before attempting the / filesystem).

James Tomkins was glad to help West Ham United book their place in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday - although he would have liked them to ensure their progress earlier than they did.
The Hammers went 2-0 up after just eight minutes of the third round tie with Cardiff City and looked set for a cruise through to the next stage until Craig Noone's thunderbolt on the stroke of half time gave the game a new complexion.
Peter Odemwingie levelled in the second period and it took Ricardo Vaz Te's header two minutes from the end to finally kill the visitors off.
Tomkins admitted the job should have been finished earlier, but reiterated that progress was the most important thing.
He said: "We had a lot of chances, especially in the first 20 minutes when we could have been four or five up.
"We didn't make the most of it and a great strike from them just before half time has got them back in the game.
"To be fair to them, they came straight at us in the second half and got the equaliser, but then it was good for Ricardo to score the winner.
"He did well and for the goal it was great work by Jack Collison too. He's put it on a plate really, and Vaz has converted it - that's good confidence for him."
The Hammers are now through to the last 16 of the Capital One Cup and Tomkins is eyeing a good run in the competition.
He added: "We think we can do well in this competition this season. We've got a good squad here and for the players who played tonight and haven't been involved in too many first team games, it's good fitness for us.
"We're trying to fight for our places in the team and we'll keep going for it. Hopefully we'll have a bit of run in it."
