How I'm positioning the Opportunistic and Adventurous portfolio
In 2013, the Covestor Opportunistic and Adventurous portfolio had a good year.
I sold part of my position in 3D Systems (DDD). In my opinion, the company has the potential to remake the face of manufacturing globally. On the other hand, I've seen some other investing possibilities, and that made getting a little more diversification into the mix easier for me.
I've taken a fairly strong position in Medical Marijuana (MJNA). It's one of the few listed companies which stand to profit by what I believe and hope will be the continual, state-by-state legalization of marijuana for recreational use.
I'm also holding shares in Cheniere Energy (LNG). The company is involved in the liquefaction of natural gas, which will then be shipped to Asian markets, where the price of natural gas is several times what it is here in the States.
Fracking is, in my opinion, a small and manageable risk. It's also far cleaner than coal or gasoline. I realize a lot of people disagree with me, but frankly I think they're not doing the math. I'll never invest my money in anything that I believe doesn't lead to the greater good.
My final holding is in Inovio Pharmaceuticals (INO). I have no way of knowing this for sure, but the company has interesting products in the pipeline.
I'm cautiously optimistic for the market, as a whole, despite the fact that PE ratios are higher than I might like. I believe that we're at the beginning of a technological juggernaut that is absolutely without precedent. That, plus the fact that it looks like the Fed is going to keep money cheap, bodes well for the market.

I just have a question, my rosemary isn't really thriving and I don't know why. It certainly isn't dying though, very healthy looking green leaves and nice woody stems, no yellowing or browning, nothing ever falls off it.
It gets full sunlight alllll day long, and I water it every day or every other day-ish, just kind of depending on when it looks dry. That end of my bed has better drainage, so I always water that side (also has basil and mint) then go water the other side (a few more herbs and some veggies) and then come *back* and water that side again. I trimmed some off the top to use for cooking because it looks very healthy and I thought that might stimulate grown, but it hasn't. Any thoughts? |

"I water it every day or every other day-ish" Let it go longer between waterings, and then really soak it. Plant your herbs according to needs, not looks: Mint needs shade and plenty of water, basil is moderately drought tolerant and likes full sun, rosemary does best in full sun with occasional deep soakings. Obviously they can't all live in the same area and be happy. |

"In looking for something that best suits the idea that I had for a 2 year old. This was it. I only wish there was a little glitter on the cup or the bear. I used all of the same colors but played around with the fonts a bit to make it a bit more fun. I loved this!"
"This invite came exactly as described/pictured in the example and we received a lot of compliments on it. Paper & printing quality were great, with no smudges/blurred lines/over-saturation. We added a photo of my son and revised the event info to personalize, and all of that came out exactly as we had requested with no mistakes. I ended up using the invite theme for the overall theme of my son's party because I liked it so much!"
"We put a basic picture of our daughter on the front and chose to put one photo of her dressed as superman and flying through the air (in her daddy's hands) on the back. We got a lot of praise from our friends and family about how cute the card was. Now the pressure is on to put on a great superhero party!"
"I loved the way I could customize the border, my card looked like a cookie :) Great weight of the paper, I was scared it'd be to thin, but it's perfect! The people I've heard so far think it's a beautiful and original card :) I think this is our new card-site :)"

My kitchen has been (almost) done for almost a year. This evening as I opened the dishwasher door the handle broke. Here's the kicker. We bought our appliances about a year before we actually started the remodel (we underestimated the cost and had to continue saving.) Do I have any recourse with Sears/Kenmore? Is there an easy fix? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can always try to get it covered under warranty. If they won't and you are handy enough, it is easy to get parts through the Sears Parts website. I recently got a new wheel and bag holder for our lawnmower and a drive belt for our washing machine. You may even be able to find a YouTube video on how to fix the dishwasher. |

You will never cease to amaze me! Great plan, and I am so excited for you!
How to DIY a wood handrail - free plans from Ana-White.com
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
4x4s for posts
2x4s for horizontal supports
2x2s for balusters
1x4s for trim over balusters
3" screws for attacing 2x4s to 4x4 posts
2 1/2" pocket hole screws for attaching 2x4s to 4x4 posts and balusters
Screws or hardware for attaching handrail to building
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Handrail is cut to fit -
Once you have your handrail figured out, start by building the main straight section. The top 2x4 and bottom 2x4 should be the overall length of your straight section. 4x4 posts are attached with 3" countersunk screws and wood glue through top and bottom.
If your handrail extends more than 6 feet (check local codes for spans) you will also need to add additional 4x4 posts to meet codes. We centered our center 4x4 posts:
I wanted a space at the bottom (kinda like a toekick if you will) so we added bottom 2x4 boards, keeping to code spacings.
Now you'll need to figure how many balusters you will need.
This may take some thinking - consider the width of your balusters and spacings, and then end spacings.
Once you know how many balusters you'll need, if it is an ODD number of balusters, attach a baluster through 1 1/2" pocket holes to the center of the railing section as noted in the diagram.
If you need an EVEN number of balusters, the center will be a spacing. So find the center, and measure 1/2 the distance of your spacing off the center. Attach a baluster here.
Then from the first attached baluster, add remaining balusters the spacing difference appart.
We cut spacing blocks to help us maintain the correct spacing as we added balusters.
Add balusters until you reach the end, with less than your spacing at the end.
You'll have pocket holes showing on the insides. We used 1x4s to cover the pocket holes. Worked awesome and gives the inside a finished look.
That's the straight section ....
If your baluster turnes a corner, use the corner post for the next section.
Secure your handrail to the floor and wall - every home is different, so how you attach your handrail could differ from our installation.
You will never cease to amaze me! Great plan, and I am so excited for you!
You have inspired me to change the one we have in our entrance. Love this! Thanks so much for the plans and detailed instructions! We have all our wood, and bought a Kreg Jig finally!!! Can't wait!! How are you going to finish your banister? Tracey
nicholaix replied on Permalink
I need to replace an unsafe iron railing and this is perfect. I also need the one that goes up the stairs, did you finish it? I can't find it here on the site.
I am impressed with this design and its simplicity, looks like a much more expensive one.

Just minutes from downtown's bustling shops and overlooking the glassy waters of Tampa Bay, The Mahaffey's picturesque building hosts some of Florida's most entertaining art and performance offerings. Originally built in 1965, the renovated building's floor-to-ceiling glass façade pierces the night with softly glowing light, cordially inviting patrons inside and awakening desires in moths that can never be fulfilled. The box-style seating of the theater ensures clear sightlines for all patrons, and its excellent acoustics make the venue suitable for both thunderous rock bands and delicate chamber ensembles.
Formed in the glory days of heavy metal, Queensrÿche rocks audiences with songs that reveal the fierce polish of 30 years of evolving artistry. The band's distinctive mix of prog rock, metal, and subliminal messaging rocketed their Empire album up the charts, launching hits such as "Silent Lucidity," "Jet City Woman," and "Best I Can." Normally reserved only for members of Queensrÿche's fan club, a backstage meet-and-greet lets a small group of the devoted make personal connections with the four lords of loudness, shaking their lightning-fast hands and comparing headbanging techniques. With experience opening for Nickelback and Staind, opening band The Fifth's wailing guitars rally fist pumps and head thrashes as raging as a riverbed full of angry bulls.
Named Billboard's top Hot 100 artist of 2010, electropop sensation Ke$ha electrifies fans with catchy tunes, punchy lyrics, and a larger-than-life persona. With a list of chart-topping hits that includes "TiK ToK," "We R Who We R," and "Your Love is My Drug," Ke$ha charms even the most curmudgeonly, highbrow ears with irreverent, catchy lyrics and taut, shimmering beats that get stuck in listeners' heads like peanut-butter-covered dreams. Presided over by a quirkily becostumed Ke$ha, the Get $leazy tour sucks fans into a nonstop, glitter-filled night of dancing, performance, and languor-shattering rapture. LMFAO, the tuneful twosome behind the high-energy hit "Party Rock Anthem," and electro-rapper Spank Rock complement Ke$ha's sonic spectacle with their own dulcet melodies.

Last eruption | February 2014 |
Kelud (Klut, Cloot, Kloet, Kloete, Keloed or Kelut) is a volcano located in East Java on Java in Indonesia. Like many Indonesian volcanoes and others on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Kelud is known for large explosive eruptions throughout its history. More than 30 eruptions have occurred since 1000 AD.[1] In 2007, a efusive explosion made the crater with depth 30 to 50 meters disappeared, because the bottom of the crater leaked and initial to made a lava dome. It last erupted on February 13, 2014 the lava dome threw away as boulders, stones and ashes up to West Java about 500 kilometers from Mount Kelud and the crater initial to fill with water in rainy season. The tunnel broke down and need reparation, if the bottom of the crater is not subsidence, but should make new tunnel(s) if subsidence happen.[2][3]
1919 mudflow[edit]
On May 19, 1919, an eruption at Kelud killed an estimated 5,000 people, mostly through hot mudflows (also known as "lahars"). More recent eruptions in 1951, 1966, and 1990 have altogether killed another 250 people.[4] Following the 1966 eruption, the Ampera Tunnels were built (top and bottom) on the southwestern side of the crater to reduce (not drain out to empty) the water of crater lake and thus reduce the lahar hazard.
1990 eruption[edit]
A strong and explosive eruption on early February 1990 produced a 7 kilometres (4 mi) high column of tephra, heavy tephra falls and several pyroclastic flows. More than thirty people were killed. Workers continued to construct the Ampera Tunnel despite the still-hot (90–400 °C or 194–752 °F) pyroclastic flow deposits which reached as high as 25 m (82 ft) and buried the tunnel's mouth.
2007 eruption[edit]
On October 16, 2007, Indonesian authorities ordered the evacuation of 30,000 residents living near Kelud, after scientists placed the volcano on the highest alert level, meaning that they expected an imminent eruption.[5]
Kelud erupted at about 3 p.m. local time on Saturday, November 3, 2007. The eruption was confirmed by the Indonesian government's Centre for Vulcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation.[6][7] Although no visual confirmation was possible when the eruption began because the volcano's peak was shrouded by clouds, Indonesian government volcanologists said seismic readings showed an eruption was under way.[4][7] More than 350,000 people lived within 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) of the volcano. Surabaya, Indonesia's third-largest urban area and home to one of the country's busiest airports, is 90 kilometres (56 mi) to the northwest.[7] Although local inhabitants were ordered to leave their homes in mid-October, many either did not evacuate or returned in the interim.[4] Many villagers were reported fleeing the area in panic after reports of the eruption.[7] But by early Saturday evening, Indonesian officials said the eruption that day had not been very large at all. Seismological equipment near the volcano's crater was still operating, and scientists said that indicated a small eruption at best.[8]
However, early Sunday morning, November 4, Mount Kelud spewed ash 500 metres into the air, indicating a full eruption was taking place.[9] "The eruption isn't over," Saut Simatupang, head of Indonesian Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Agency, said. Seismologists monitoring the crater said surface temperatures in Mount Kelud's crater lake rose on November 4 to 60.7 °C (141.3 °F) from 43.9 °C (111.0 °F) on November 3. At a depth of 15 metres (49 ft), the temperature jumped to 66.1 degrees Celsius on November 4 from 45.9 degrees Celsius on November 3.[10] The extreme heat created a cloud of steam and smoke 488 metres (1,601 ft) high.[11]
On November 5, new columns of smoke and steam erupted from the crater. Boiling water cascaded down the flanks of the mountain from the crater lake, and seismological equipment near the crater ceased working. Indonesian authorities said about 25,000 people remained in the danger zone, ignoring evacuation orders.[12]
The following day, a lava dome rose through the centre of the crater lake atop the mountain. Closed-circuit television cameras showed the 100-metre (330 ft) long oblong island had pushed about 20 metres (66 ft) above the surface of the lake. The volcano continued to emit smoke, with plumes reaching a kilometre (3,280 feet, or six-tenths of a mile) into the atmosphere.[13]
But after 48 hours of smoke and ash but no lava, Indonesian officials declared on November 8 that no eruption was immediate. Officials said the volcano was experiencing a "slow eruption" and was unlikely to explode as it had done many times in the past century.[14]
By November 12, Mount Kelud began spewing lava into its crater lake. The lava dome, which had expanded to 250 metres (270 yd) long and 120 metres (130 yards) high, cracked open and lava began oozing into the surrounding water. Smoke rose more than two kilometres (1.2 miles) into the air, and ash dusted several villages around the volcano.[14] On November 14, smoke billowed 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) into the air, and light ash covered villages 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away.[15] The hot lava dome occupied the lake crater and, consequently, the lake disappeared.
2014 eruption[edit]
Kelud erupted on February 13, 2014.[16][17][18] The eruption occurred at 22:50 local time (UT+7). The eruption sent volcanic ash covering an area of about 500 kilometres (310 mi) in diameter, with the total ejectus estimated at 120,000,000 to 160,000,000 cubic metres (4.2×109 to 5.7×109 cu ft). Ashfall occurred over a large portion of Java island, from Malang to the east, as well as Central Java and Yogyakarta.[19][20][21][22] The eruption prompted about 76,000 inhabitants to evacuate their homes.[23] Two people were reported dead after their houses collapsed from the weight of ash.[24] The ash also reportedly reached the western region of Java by February 14 afternoon, where traces of volcanic ash were found in Bandung and surroundings.[citation needed]
Ashfall from the eruption "paralyzed Java".[22] Seven airports, in Yogyakarta, Surakarta, Surabaya, Malang, Semarang, Cilacap and Bandung, were closed.[25] Financial losses from the airport closures were valued in the billions of rupiah (millions of US dollars), including an estimated 2 billion rupiah (US$200,000) at Juanda International Airport in Surabaya.[26] Significant damage was caused to a variety of manufacturing and agricultural industries. The ashfall meant companies such as Unilever Indonesia had difficulty distributing their products throughout affected areas. Apple orchards in Batu, East Java, posted losses of up to Rp 17.8 billion, while the dairy industry in the province posted high losses.[27]
On February 14, 2014, major tourist attractions in Yogyakarta and Central Java, including Borobudur, Prambanan and Ratu Boko, were closed to visitors, after being severely affected by the volcanic ashfall from the eruption of Kelud volcano a day earlier, in East Java, located around 200 kilometers east from Yogyakarta. Workers covered the iconic stupas and statues of Borobudur temple to protect the structure from volcanic ash.[28] Owing to the ash, many tourists cancelled their reservations at hotels through Central Java. Tempo reported that hotels in Yogyakarta had posted losses of Rp 22 billion (US$2.2 million) as more than 80 percent of reservations were canceled owing to the ash.[29]
Clean-up following the eruptions had begun by 15 February. Indonesian military personnel used water cannons to clear roads, and were later involved in reconstruction efforts in the areas surrounding Kelud.[23][30] Citizens did likewise, although with less powerful equipment.[31] Political parties vying for the April elections helped distribute food to victims of the eruptions.[23] By February 20 most businesses and attractions which had closed owing to the ashfall had reopened, although cleaning operations were still ongoing.[32]
The volcano's alert status was downgraded on 21 February, and the exclusion zone reduced from 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to 5 kilometres (3.1 mi).[33] By early March most of the 12,304 buildings destroyed or damaged during the eruptions had been repaired, at an estimated cost of Rp 55 billion.[30]

Re: Sailboat perishes off Hatteras, USCG rescues crew
WHAT A LOAD OF BS....Someone makes an error in judgement, gets in trouble and call's on the rescue authorities (in this case Coast Guard). I am almost amazed at the predictability of their cry's of foul from the obviously well informed and well traveled, seasoned sailors on this and every other similar forum. This in turn morphs into cost of the rescue and who should pay(No one should pay its humanity), followed by how this will effect ME in the pocket with increased insurance(bad luck if you want insurance pay you dues), and an atrocious drain on the public purse to fund these rescues of our fellow man( the cost of rescues has already been budgeted for in the yearly running cost). May I say If it is such an affront that our fellow man will at some time come unstuck and need help of some description then why not disband the Coast Guard and perhaps the Navy or all armed forces with a rescue component. Lets make it Law that only those that can pay to be rescued, be rescued. we could include Ambulance and fire fighters, No money no help. How about Police lets have them only protect the important people that can Pay for their time, If you dial 911 or 999 or 000 it will be $100 for the first 15min then $100 for each hour or part there of. Most of us are humanitarian and have ethics and will do what we can for our fellow man. People make mistakes and things do not always go as planed. Those guys would not have agreed with each other to go out and get rescued, loose the beautiful boat and be ridiculed by these adventurous folk bashing away on their keyboards. We have rescue services because we need them, the civilized world would be a sad place without these brave and caring souls who put their lives on the line for everyone, no questions asked. And they do it because they love it. Thanks for letting me rant I need it.

.- The Catholic Health Association (CHA) has applauded President Obama's recess appointment of Harvard pediatrician Dr. Donald Berwick as administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Sr. Carol Keehan, D.C., CHA's president and chief executive officer, said Berwick is needed to work on the health care mandates created by the recent health care legislation. In a Wednesday CHA press release, she reported that CMS has not had a permanent administrator since 2006.
She called Berwick "well qualified" for the position, describing him as "a visionary with great insight and knowledge of the health care delivery system based on his perspectives as a physician and teacher" who has championed high quality health care for decades.
"The task ahead is critically important for patients, their families and communities as CMS and providers collectively tackle the issues of expanding coverage, drafting regulations, developing payment policies and prioritizing patient safety and quality," Sr. Keehan continued.
President Obama circumvented Berwick's Senate confirmation hearings by making a recess appointment, a move which drew criticism from Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.).
Other critics of the appointment have objected to Berwick's comments praising European state health care systems as well as remarks he made on rationing health care.

* add buffer-size selector for
oscilloscope (required by bass-players)
Can you elaborate this?
The Oscilloscope use the jack buffer size to display the sine wave,
when you use jack buffers smaller then 256 to archive low latency,
the Oscilloscope becomes useless for a bass player
(the sine wave of a low E is a way longer for example).
Now you can set the Oscilloscope buffer up to (jack buffer size x6)
to display a full sine of a low E, even when you use low jack buffer
It would be nice if you where able to include some presets for
bass. A
look on your forum seems to show that there are at least some
bassplayers using guitarix. They might be able to share some
I have already given up to ask users to commit presets, it's to
frustrating in the long run.
Anyhow, if we receive presets, we will happily include them to the
factory settings.
You can see there witch (and how many) users have committed some.
what about adding some of your (guitar) presets to the
guitarix package? I'd love to try them out.

The Charlotte Zolotow Award
Jeny Offill Wins 2015 Charlotte Zolotow Award for Sparky! Press Release
Complete list of winners, honor books
and highly commended titles
The Charlotte Zolotow Award is given annually to the author of the best picture book text published in the United States in the preceding year. Established in 1998, the award is named to honor the work of Charlotte Zolotow, a distinguished children's book editor for 38 years with Harper Junior Books, and author of more than 70 picture books, including such classic works as Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present (Harper, 1962) and William's Doll (Harper, 1972). Ms. Zolotow attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison on a writing scholarship from 1933-36 where she studied with Professor Helen C. White.
The award is administered by the Cooperative Children's Book Center, a children's literature library of the School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Each year a committee of children's literature experts selects the winner from the books published in the preceding year. The winner is announced in January each year. A bronze medallion is formally presented to the winning author in the spring during an annual public event that honors the career of Charlotte Zolotow.
Members of the selection committee are appointed to a two-year term by the CCBC professional staff based on an individual's knowledge of children's books, a demonstrated ability to evaluate children's books and discuss them critically, and/or direct experience working professionally with children from birth through age seven. A CCBC librarian serves as one of the five members. Members are appointed to staggered, two-year terms.
We are now considering books for the 2015 Charlotte Zolotow Award.
Any picture book for young children (birth through age seven) originally written in English, and published the United States in 2014, is eligible for consideration for the 2014 Zolotow Award. The book may be fiction, nonfiction or folklore, as long as it is presented in picture book form and aimed at children from birth through age seven. Translated books, poetry collections, and easy readers are not eligible. Books published only as e-books/digital books are not eligible as there is not currently a standard, accessible platform for all e-books freely available. (PDFs of e-books do not qualify as print publishing.)
The committee selects one winner each year. It may also designate up to five honor books and up to ten titles to be included on a highly commended list that will call attention to outstanding writing in picture books.
Submission Information
The deadline for submission is December 15, 2014.
To obtain the names and addresses of the 2015 Charlotte Zolotow Award committee members to submit titles for their consideration, contact chair Megan Schliesman, 608-262-9503.

PLATTSBURGH - Remember the days when the only entertainment you needed was your own imagination? Local author Janice Stanley and artist Tamia Gastio are working together to bring children and even grown-ups back to those days.
In June 2006, Janice and Tamia joined together to provide a great service to one another. Tamia helped Janice by creating a picture of a little girl to look like Janice's granddaughter, Allison, for the book "Apple Valley Alli." In turn, Tamia asked Janice if she could write something about a painting she was finishing.
"Jan took one look at it and said 'I don't do whimsy,'" laughed Tamia.
"I did ducks, trees, apples, lakes," Janice added.
However, Janice ended up taking the painting with her and created a poem of what she saw.
"I cried," Tamia explained. "Because she had looked at what I had done and she had seen what I did and even though I didn't put words to it, she saw what I meant."
The poem eventually became the first poem in a book titled "A Whimsical World."
Eventually, the two received a grant to do a program with area children, "Whimsical World Story Hour."
"The idea was that we wanted to marry words and art," explained Tamia.
Tamia and Janice presented their program to a large group of children and their families at the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum March 7. During the program, Tamia and Janice read poems from their book and worked with the children to create their own works of art.
About four months ago, Tamia and Janice met Alice Church, director of development for the museum, at the North Country Teacher Resource Center, where they were showcasing their program.
"There they were in all their splendor," said Alice. "I said, 'Oh my Lord, this is absolutely perfect for us. They're colorful. It was a happy feeling when I saw them."

It's not often that talent comes rising through the ranks fully formed, undiluted, and with as much potential as Foamo (aka Kye Gibbon). For a 21 year old from the sleepy town of High Wycombe, it's quite an achievement to hit the ground running with his debut single 'Moving It Over Here' on Cubism Records, surprising established producers old enough to be his dad with the depth and quality of his engineering skills, never mind the absolutely huge bassline!
One of the next generation of dance music superstars (he was born in 1987, one year before the 'summer of love') Kye grew up predominantly listening to drum and bass, alongside a generous helping of dubstep, grime and garage, but it was listening to Kissy Sell Out on Radio One that introduced Foamo to a more house-orientated sound, and really focussed him towards producing the kind of bass heavy 4/4 tracks that you can hear on his increasingly popular Myspace site.
Having been inspired by Kissy, it made sense that he was one of the first DJs to send new tracks to, and it was Kissy who was the first DJ to really get behing Foamo's tracks, playing 'Moving It Over Here' repeatedly on his Radio One show, giving him wide-ranging exposure to an international audience. Add to that a series of much sought-after online mix tapes and it's no surprise that even after only one single he's played across the UK and Europe as an in-demand DJ.
With unreleased mixes for Para One and MSTRKRFT already under his belt, a new single for Wearhouse Records, collaborations with some of house music's finest producers in the pipeline including Trevor Loveys and Will Bailey, plus sets at The End, Fabric and Space, Ibiza in his diary already, it's been a meteoric rise for Foamo in 2008, and it looks like his reputation will only continue to grow.

St. Louis – A research team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has developed a potential new weapon in the fight against major diseases like malaria and tuberculosis.
Lead researcher Eric Oldfield says the key to developing a new drug is finding a protein or enzyme that the disease-causing parasites or bacteria have and need, but that people don't. Finding that enzyme - and then figuring out how to attack, or inhibit it - is usually a long, costly, and often unsuccessful process.
"With this enzyme," says Oldfield, "we just had an idea, based on its structure, and based on general sort of principles of chemistry, that this particular class of compounds would be inhibitors, and, you know, we were lucky that we were right."
Oldfield says a new drug based on his team's findings is years away, but that their work has opened the door to a new line of investigation. Their study was funded by the National Institutes of Health and is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Seahawks' Harvin tweets he'll need surgery on hip
Harvin made the announcement on his Twitter account on Tuesday night, hours after getting a second opinion on the injury in New York. The Seahawks then said the operation was scheduled for Thursday.
Harvin was seeking more information for soreness in his hip, in the area of his labrum, that popped up just before the Seahawks opened training camp.when everything is goin good sometimes life throw u a curve ball... sorry to half to report that my injury will require surgery...
— Percy Harvin (@Percy_Harvin) July 30, 2013
"When everything is goin good sometimes life throw u a curve ball... sorry to half to report that my injury will require surgery," Harvin wrote on his Twitter page. "Nobody was more anxious and excited about season then....but I will be back strong as ever."
Seattle coach Pete Carroll has not indicated which hip is bothering Harvin. He said earlier in the day that the team was still gathering information about Harvin's second opinion.
Harvin started training camp on the physically unable to perform list and likely will remain there until the team has a better idea of his recovery time. If Harvin starts the season on the PUP list he must miss the first six weeks and would have to return to practice by the end of Week 11 to avoid missing the entire season.
The loss of Harvin is significant, but not a huge setback for a team that relies on the legs of Marshawn Lynch and timely passing by Russell Wilson to drive its offense. Seattle invested significantly in Harvin, giving up draft picks to acquire him from Minnesota and signing him to a six-year deal reportedly worth up to $67 million.
But Seattle's offense averaged 32.9 points over the final nine games of last season without Harvin.
If the Seahawks need a timeline of how the recovery might go, they only need to look at fellow Seattle receiver Sidney Rice, who underwent hip surgery in August 2010, and then returned to action in Week 11 after missing the first 2½ months of the season.

its a pretty good game, though i could have some improvements, like adding upgrades, and making it less repetitive somehow (you could add bosses for example), apart from that the music its pretty good and it has some good graphics, kept it up and you will have a awesome game (not just a good one XD).
It's already a pretty good game, Nice graphics, awesome music, but some of the levels take too long and are pretty much repetitions
The missiles that helicopters are shooting should also be destroyable.
And this game NEEDS upgrades that would make it more enjoyable but nothing else to comment but awesome game!
Robot! Go!
Awesome game man! Simple and you can just jump into the game without a lot of wordy anything. super simple controls. The only thing I do is ADD more awesome to it!
Like upgradable weapons, various gadgets to help protect and move faster/slower traps..etc. you get the idea...music choices might be good but I i know how limited music is for flash. best to focus on features than more music. After all, if I font like the music I can always mute then turn my own on. so that's not a big deal.
So yeah pump up the weapons choices and you are gold!
Full points!
Keep up the great work!
Pretty good start
I like the idea of this game, and I played it for quite some time, I think if you expanded on this game, gave it some upgrade(bigger sheild, stronger weapons ect.), more attacking units, and I kinda wanted to step on things along with punching them, over all though, I liked it

With less than four weeks to go until the final chapter of the Harry Potter mega-franchise hits theaters, Warner Bros. has released a final trailer to hold fans over.
We all knew this would come one day. The final Harry Potter film is almost here. However, if this new trailer is any indication, while the end of the beloved franchise is disappointing, the film itself won't be.
Besides the usual Death Eaters, symbols, spells and wand-wielders, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 introduces new elements to the movie series' formula, including a shadow-puppet-style interlude and a scene, not included in J.K. Rowling's book, that's accompanied by the melancholia-drenched croakings of doom maestro Nick Cave. The unexpected touches come from director […]

Pleasantly surprised with the coverage and longevity of this. I accidentally bought a bottle earlier in the year a few shades too dark (006 medium) so shelved it until the sun ate me alive after a holiday. I have really severe and dark melasma and freckles and have always found that my high end lighter shades (NC25, MUFE HD N120) don't cover although they match my neck colour. Now that the melasma is the majority I gave photometry a whirl and it was a perfect match and for the first time in ever it looked like I had even skin tone! I would call that medium to full cover, but it also blended seamlessly around my jawline and looked so natural even though I had previously thought medium beige would be far too dark. So the shade, coverage and natural finish have been a real game changer for me. I have been wearing this over Mac strobe cream as a primer and without a powder (all my shades are too light over it) and get a good 10hrs of wear with minimal fading. It doesn't cake either. I can even forgo the face load of heavy concealer I used to cover the melasma with my other lighter foundations. This was an unexpected result and I am super pleased. Will buy again in lighter shades as my melasma fades.

This was my first purchase of a liquid foundation. Bought the wrong shade in Caramel and it's too dark for me. So my next purchase, I bought the shade Golden Beige.
- does the job in covering my redness and skin discoloration
- Gives dewy finish but gets oily throughout the day
- the color runs dark after sweating
- not much range of shades
- bought it for SGD 30.90 considered expensive for a drugstore brand

I love my Revlon Photoready 2-way foundation! I've been using it for a while now.
I get compliments and often get asked what foundation I use and I think I've converted several to this brand already.
I use the shade Shell and always apply it wet.
It lasts me the entire day! Barely need to retouch, except blot the oil on my T-zone.
Worth my money, given it's one of high end drugstore brands.

I really like this foundation. I originally bought it to avoid flashback in pictures, which it does. There is a really poor shade selection available, but I guess that's because this isn't the most popular foundation. However, I found that 004 Nude was a good match for me. This foundation has a microshimmer to it, which leaves a dewey glow finish to the skin. It's beautiful. However, you must really work it into your skin to make it look nice and natural. I use a flat top kabuki brush from sonia kashuk. Anything that will help you really buff it in and blend will make this foundation look its best. Bonus points for the packaging - I hate when foundations come in a glass bottle without a pump. One pump covers my whole face. Even though I have dry skin, I set this with a powder because this foundation is very wet and I don't have time to wait for it to set before doing my highlight/blush/contour.

I love Revlon foundations! This one is even better than Colorstay. It's so creamy, full coverage and doesn't break me out. It does have sparkles in it, but you can't see them on your face once applied. LOVE the pump! You can get just the right amount of product out which is great. Stays on for at least 3-4 hours without having to blot my fave for oil (I have extremely oily skin). It blends well and looks natural. It's much better than the many MAC foundations I've tried at a much, much lower price (only $10 at Walmart). Love this foundation!

Today was my first day wearing this foundation that I purchased at cvs for 15 dollars (it's 5$ cheaper at Walmart) today I was sweating in gym class so much it was un real but when I got home and looked in the mirror my make up was flawless and looked like it hasn't been touched. Another pro is the pump on the bottle I love the matte black pump. I think this is almost better then the colorstay , the pump was one of my main reasons from switching over from the colorstay and I think it was well worth it. The only reason I took a lippie off was because the color range isn't the best but it's due able , I think this may be my HG

Ahhhhhhhh..I love this. Let me say first, how impossible it is for me to find a perfect powder or foundation. I can never find a product that fully satisfies. I was wearing Femme Couture powder/foundation for awhile... until I finally realized how powdery it was. My main goal though was coverage since I do have a few freckles that I don't always want to show. After bouncing around I finally landed Revlon Photo-ready... and it is perfect. I actually tried the color-stay foundation and despite all the high ratings and rave about it, it dried my skin out. So I have decided that may be a perfect foundation for oily skin. The color did stay but the blotchy look was not pretty. REVLON PHOTOREADY, however...perfect!! I love how its smooth, has a dewy look (natural) completely covers all flaws, it is buildable.
The only cons I have: Finding the right color. I have pretty medium skin. I can tan fairly easy, but not dark. So I am mixing two colors. (Medium beige and caramel.) It is perfect.
One more thing... I am on the hunt to find a great setting powder which seems impossible. A new journey beings... ha.
