Getting rid of Phobia of Voice: How It Works
Re-'wiring' your unconscious mind is the key to this program – and its safe and surprisingly easy to do. On the surface, you know that this business with noises or voices doesn't make sense. The reason the fear continues is because the subconscious has connected it to a wave of dominant negative feelings which occur automatically when you even think of noises or voices.
Until now, you just haven't had the techniques for re-programming those connections. We're here to teach the techniques to you. Success is on the way – all you need to do is get started:

This process has proven procedures for overcoming rage, fear, depression, remorse and feelings of apprehension and helps you gain self-assurance, peace and happiness. Why keep living your life with negative emotions when you can easily change them? Harmful thinking isn't helping – you need to make some serious changes now.
Vanquish Phobia of Voice Today.
Instigators and Risk Factors for Phobia of Voice
An really disturbing incident from the past, is often (though, not always) the root cause of Phobia Of Voice. Your fear may also seem to come out of no where – with no memory you can think of. By exposing the root cause, you will be able to remedy the problem by easily exchanging harmful triggers. Individuals utmost at risk are:
• Those who have a general predisposition for fear and anxiety
• Ones who are characterized as 'high-strung'
• People suffering from adrenal insufficiency

Indicators That You Need Assistance
Use our 2 minute Phobia of Voice Online Analysis to discover the magnitude of the problem for you, but it is pretty simple. Do something about it now, if the fear is having a sizable negative influence on your way of living.
- Do you become sick at the simple thought of Noises Or Voices?
- Do your palms get clammy and your mouth feel like cotton?

- Do your legs go weak?
These are only a few examples of the things one can feel. Read more on the symptoms of phobia of voice.
Not only do we deal with the symptoms, we locate the foundation. This is what CTRN is all about
Drugs and Prescriptions
We feel drugs and medication for Phobia of Voice aren't the best approach, but make sure you always follow a doctor's advice when taking or stopping any prescription. Pills might help you cope with your Phobia Of Voice but only in the short term – they will not, in reality, help you eliminate it forever.
By the way – no one has ever developed a drug exclusively for Phobia Of Voice – so it's hard to justify popping a pill as a healthy solution with all the uncertainty that surrounds potential side effects.
The good news is with our program, your Phobia Of Voice will be history, without resorting to meds..

Danny Dreyer ChiRunning Workshop NYC Oct 8th-9th 2011
Thanks to all who cam out to see Danny teaching in New York City this weekend! It was a very successful workshop with a large attendance each day. The classes were held in the YMCA on the Lower East Side. The workshops included a beginning ChiRunning Workshop and an Advanced ChiRunning workshop. I assisted Danny on the Saturday workshop and I was very impressed by the attendees. This was actually the first time I have had a group with no running injuries! In general, we always ask about individual running histories before starting a workshop. This enables us to tailor the workshop to your specific needs. It is a practice I really like because inevitably you get to offer people some relief right away. In all these workshops were a lot of fun and a lot was covered. Thanks Danny for another great NYC workshop. Thanks also to the other ChiRunning instructors and candidates that came out. Always good to see you!

Pastoral Theology
The MA in Pastoral Theology at St. Gregory's University uniquely unites a rigorous intellectual formation with meaningful pastoral instruction. This union of doctrine and practice is particularly endangered today, and our program seeks to recover the inseparable unity between truth and love, in order that our students may be authentic instruments of Church renewal and cultural transformation.
The MA in Pastoral Theology is ordered to the particular good of forming individuals for leadership in what Blessed Pope John Paul II called the "new evangelization". Holistically formed in the timeless wisdom of the Church, a graduate of MA in Pastoral Theology program will come to appreciate the significance of the Faith as a living, organic, whole and learn to appropriate and transmit it as such with "new ardor, methods, and expressions" in ways that resonate powerfully with modern man.
In contrast to modern educational methods, which often commercialize education and train the student for a particular task, the MA in Pastoral Theology program at St. Gregory's University seeks to foster and promote an authentic and integral humanism, which is founded upon a Christian anthropology, and ordered to wisdom, vivified by charity. Such a robust education is framed and supported by the following pedagogical principles:
- Truth is a good, that can be known, and once known it must be pursued;
- The pursuit of truth requires leisure, liberty (physical and moral), and actual contact with reality (scientia poetica)
- There can be no real contradiction between faith and reason;
- The end to which all education is ordered is wisdom – the synthesis of all truth, perfected in activity
These governing principles allow the student to not only learn the truths of the faith, but further, and more essentially, aids in the cultivation of the natural foundation that enables these truths to take root and to be lived out in meaningful and transformative ways.
University teaching and research, pursuit of a religious vocation (seminarian, deacon, priest, brother, sister), primary or secondary school religion teacher, catechist, director of religious education, pastoral associate, youth and young adult ministry, director of liturgy and music, family life ministry, Catholic journalism, social services director, hospital and prison ministry
The curriculum of the MA in Pastoral Theology reaches beyond the dichotomy between pragmatism and doctrinalism, back to the biblical unity in which practice and doctrine are one, a unity grounded in Christ. This requires a highly integrated program uniting five fundamental elements: philosophy, scripture, doctrine, history, and rhetoric. While these five elements animate the curriculum as a whole, individuals can specialize in a number of concentrations through particular electives.Possible areas of concentration may include: Catholic Education, Youth and Young Adult Ministry, Scripture, Pastoral Counseling and Catechesis.The degree consist of 42 credit hours (33 core credit hours plus 9 elective hours)
FALL SEMESTER | SPRING SEMESTER | SUMMER SEMESTER (Rome) |
Thomistic Philosophy Systematic Theology Church and Modernity |
Sacramental Theology Catholic Social Teaching Elective |
Catechetics Elective |
Moral Theology Vat II & the New Evang. Elective |
Christian Spirituality Catholic Apologetics Thesis |
In addition to the robust intellectual formation, students in the MA in Pastoral Theology will also have the opportunity to participate in various cultural and social activities. These activities are integral to holistic formation of the program and include:
- Rome study abroad summer session
- Retreats
- Pilgrimages
- Rich liturgical and sacramental opportunities
- Conferences
- Graduate club
- Various traditional festivities and feasts
Many of these activities are supported by the Center for the Renewal of Pastoral Theology. The Center is integrally united to the MA program in Pastoral Theology and its mission is to unify that which has been fragmented, namely the Church's rich intellectual tradition with her pastoral concerns and practices. Ordered to this good the Center offers: (1) awards to individuals in recognition of their academic and/or practical contributions to the renewal of pastoral theology; (2) funding to graduate students enrolled in St. Gregory's University's Masters in Pastoral Ministry programming; (3) lectures and annual conferences that bring to the university leading scholars dedicated to the renewal of pastoral theology; and (4) a quarterly journal that is eminently speculative and practical, reserved for the strengthening and improving of current pastoral practices within the Church.
St. Gregory's University is committed to excellence in education through a faculty and staff dedicated to a quality learning experience that ensures the ultimate success of our graduates.
Designed for working professionals, the programs of our College for Continuing Studies emphasize the foundational values and ethical leadership essential to success in today's diverse society and expanding workplace. Coursework integrates ethics, critical thinking, problem solving, technology, and teamwork to form a critical base of knowledge and skills.
A degree from St. Gregory's University is valued and recognized throughout business and academic communities.

Imperforate anus is a defect that is present from birth (congenital). The opening to the anus is missing or blocked. The anus is the opening to the rectum through which stools leave the body.
Anorectal malformation; Anal atresia
Imperforate anus may occur in several forms.
The problem rare. It is caused by abnormal development of the fetus. Many forms of imperforate anus occur with other birth defects.
A doctor can diagnose this condition during a physical exam. Imaging tests may be recommended.
The infant should be checked for other problems, such as abnormalities of the genitals, urinary tract, and spine.
Surgery to correct the defect is needed. If the rectum connects with other organs, these organs will also need to be repaired. A temporary colostomy (connecting the end of the large intestine to the abdomen wall so that stool can be collected in a bag) is often needed.
Most defects can successfully be corrected with surgery. Most children with mild defects do very well. However, constipation can be a problem.
Children who have more complex surgeries still have control over their bowel movements most of the time. However, they often need to follow a bowel program. This includes eating high-fiber foods, taking stool softeners, and sometimes using enemas.
Some children may need more surgery.
This problem is often found when the newborn infant is first examined. Call your health care provider if a child that was treated for imperforate anus has abdominal pain or fails to develop any bowel control by the age of 3.
There is no known prevention.

AT&T faces new hurdle in T-Mobile bid
AT&T's planned $39 billion purchase of T-Mobile USA faces a new roadblock as Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski asked commissioners to send the proposal to an agency judge for a hearing.
Sponsored Links
The hearing, which could lead to a rejection of the transaction, was proposed in an order Genachowski offered Tuesday for consideration by the full FCC, according to officials who spoke today on condition of anonymity. Agency staff found the proposed merger would significantly diminish competition and would not increase hiring.
The hearing would take place after the resolution of a Justice Department court challenge to the deal. The antitrust case is scheduled for trial in February.
AT&T is "reviewing all options," Larry Solomon, senior vice president of corporate communications, said in an e-mailed statement.
"The FCC's action today is disappointing," Solomon said. "It is yet another example of a government agency acting to prevent billions in new investment and the creation of many thousands of new jobs at a time when the U.S. economy desperately needs both."
The FCC can set a hearing, roughly akin to a trial, when it cannot find the deal is in the public interest.
The administrative law judge presiding over the hearing delivers an initial decision that goes to agency commissioners for a vote.
"A hearing could go on for six to 12 months," said Andrew Lipman, a Washington-based partner with the Bingham McCutchen law firm. "It's certainly a significant obstacle and roadblock."
The last time the FCC designated a media merger for a hearing was in 2002, when the agency challenged Echostar Communications's bid for satellite TV rival DirecTV, Lipman said. The companies dropped their bid, he said.
Genachowski released a statement on Aug. 31, the day the Justice Department sued to block the deal, that cited "serious concerns about the impact of the proposed transaction on competition."
AT&T's purchase of T-Mobile would eliminate one of four national U.S. wireless carriers. AT&T has said the transaction would help it bring wireless high-speed Internet service to more people.

Next year sees not one but two movies based on Snow White, as rival studios battle it out to have the fairest of them all.
Both offer a twist on the famous fairytale. Perhaps the most immediately interesting is Snow White and the Huntsman, given that it stars Twilight's Kristen Stewart and Thor's Chris Hemsworth. (And is it just us or is the hunky Hemsworth sporting a Scottish accent?)
However, the star of the trailer above is undoubtedly Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna, whose eyes are very firmly set on capturing the soul of Kristen's Snow White.
Directed by Rupert Sanders, the tale has been turned into an action epic closer to Lord of the Rings than the Disney movies, there's already been talk of a trilogy. There's also an amazing array of British actors playing the dwarves including Ray Winstone, Nick Frost, Ian McShane and Bob Hoskins, though their appearance isn't revealed in the trailer. Snow White and the Huntsman comes out on June 1.
Beating that to the punch is Mirror Mirror, which comes out on March 16, with production rushed through so it could beat its competitor. Does that mean the quality will suffer? (Watch trailer here.)
Mirror Mirror is being directed by Tarsem Singh, who helmed recent hit Immortals and is known for his startling visuals, meaning the movie should be something of a feast for the eyes. Lily Collins stars as Snow White – the UK actress is definitely less known than Kristen at the moment, but that may be all set to change.
Mirror Mirror seems a more decidedly family friendly movie, with more jokes – many at the expense of the dwarves who feature in the trailer. All eyes will be on Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, while The Social Network's Armie Hammer stars as Prince Andrew Alcott and Sean Bean – no stranger to fantasy epics – playing the King.
This movie feels slightly closer to the Snow White we all know and love, but audiences may prefer the grittier take that Kristen and Chris will be offering up.
So, which will be the more successful? Ah, if only we had a mirror to give us a proper prediction...

I go to Pam, every 2 weeks now and have become addicted to these tans! I have tried 3 different shades of the tan, including the su-do, sienna and the darker sienna(the darker sienna definatly being my favourite). Each one applies beautifully and lasts a good length of time. All for a fantastic price - i wouldnt go anywhere else.

Knight's Night
I saw the tall knight with the aerdale crest walk
Into the trees
I lay on the edge of the battle field
Waiting to meet God
Our king would be proud of the outcome
The setting burnished sun is filtering through the leaves
Remembering seeing the sea in the west
When I was boy, before
I took down many a knight this day
The fight was a good and honorable one
I feel as though I have spent hours on a rack
My leg is broken, my arms are heavy, there is a
Spreading wet warmth on my side
I have a thirst that will not will not be quenched
A fleeting thought of honor and death
That there is no honor after death only death
But that will pass after passing
I must lift my arms and cross my chest plate with
My sword
The light fades from his eyes
They look like the thousands of other eyes now
The tall knight has entered the brace of trees
He sees men dead and dying, but not as many as
Laid on the field
Two horses had died under him this day
He's sorry that they are gone
His first one was cut out from under him
The second ran away as he cut through the standard barers
He walks towards the west slowly
And purposefully
Carrying his broad sword on his shoulder
Its blade is chinked and stained
His breast plate is covered with dirt and blood
Its polished gleam but a memory of yesterday
His legs and his arms are covered with pieces of
With is short sword sheathed in his side scabbard
Still sharp and deadly
There are no enemies now
Just bodies on the ground waiting
For burial or death
Today like yesterday he is walking away
But tomorrow he'll worry about when
The solder sits in a foxhole, he sits in an armored car,
She waits in a bunker for daylight
The night seems to go on forever
A bullet tears into a helmet
A club explodes bone on the side of a head
What mark of Cain sits above each of us?
When will old men stop sacrificing the young?
I sit watching the ocean lap at the sand
The sun is now just a memory of the day

Scientists living under an oppressive regime decide to clinically study the founders and supporters of evil regimes to determine what common factor is at play in the rise and propagation of man's inhumanity to man.
I thought they caused busts!
One of us, I daresay, must be a bit confused.
Here is how I see it:
Booms - real economic upturns, not price bubbles - occur when honest people see or create conditions for expansion, then take advantage of them.
Dishonest people then "follow the money" and seek to take control of the scene. Their greed, mistrust and incompetence may result in some false surges, but ultimately, a boom in criminal hands falls apart. Criminals are self-destructive by definition.
Without crime, booms would be more robust, more competently managed, and would last much longer. And busts would be shallower and less painful.
It could be fatal to get confused about this. Good times DO NOT depend on crime! They depend on hard work, in-ethics, standard tech, and applying the formula for the condition one is in.
While good honest hard working people are concentrating on building, thinking all is well with the world, their guard goes down, and psychopaths and other psychopathological deviants climb the ladder, and thus inevitably the boom cycles to a bust.
Read Political Ponerology.
Even the mainstream history of economics, shows that booms lead to busts.
"This affair has real potential to widely expose just how greedy, corrupt, and colossally abusive China's elite has been for years. That it comes at a time when China's economy is slowing will probably multiply the effect.
If a self-immolating Tunisian fruit merchant had the power to spark a wave of revolution across the Middle East, it certainly stands to reason that this scandal may create similar indignation for the ruling class in China... and thus shake the system to its core. "
Seems like the wage slaves in China, are about to be slapped on the face with the truth about their leaders.

Settling the Great Plains
Below is a list of Writing Ideas to help you with your biography. See our
if you need help printing these Writing Ideas or finding Writing Ideas related to other Topics.
There were 31 Plains tribes, what tribe was he from? Was he forced to move from his land when others began to move into his territory?
Where was his tribe originally located and to where did it relocate? Did the tribe resist the government's orders to go? How did they resist? Were there any battles with injuries or deaths?
As more people moved into the Plains, how did his life change? Was it more difficult to hunt or find food? Were some of the tribe's traditions hard to maintain?
How did the tribe adapt to new conditions? Did some adopt aspects of the Caucasian culture? Was the tribe able to stay together or did it disintegrate? Why?
Did any diseases plague his tribe during this time? Was smallpox a threat?
When the railroad was built, did he expect it to have the impact that it did? The railroad brought immigrant workers, the purchase of more land, and the slaughter of buffaloes. How did this worsen an already bad situation in which he was involved?
When the Civil War ended there were 12 million buffaloes on the Great Plains, but by the 1900's there were only 50 left. To him, in what ways did this symbolize the devastation of the Plains?
Did he believe there was a peaceful way for natives and non-natives to live together in North America? Why or why not? Was there a way to preserve more of the Native American heritage?
What were the feelings of the people in his tribe? Were people thankful to be alive, hateful of Caucasians, sorrowful for the loss of land? How did they express their feelings?

Young Adult Novels Besting Adult Novels?
Young adult novels heating up the charts
Publishers, stores embracing trend
Recently my Barnes & Noble bookstore moved the sci-fi/fantasy section back and the YA section forward. I've noticed that the selection of teen books seems to be getting larger and more of them are in hardbacks. And I'm beginning to see more writers of popular adult fiction putting out YA fiction.
YA books have been bare of what I think of as "real" SF - stories where advanced tech and science are important parts of the stories. Most teen SF is post-apocalyptic or steam punk - apparently teens are not smart enough to handle the hard stuff!
The one shining counter-example, to my mind, is David Weber's A Beautiful Friendship. It was placed on the Teen's New & Exciting table when it first came out, and is now in the New Teen part of B&N's YA shelves. It is billed as "A stellar introduction to a new YA science-fiction series." and subtitled "A Star Kingdom Novel" on its cover.
It makes me wonder if the next Shapechanger title I plan to put up on Amazon should be classified as YA. Which it is for the first third or half of my book, until my heroine gets into her late teens and early twenties. Here is how I bill it on my Web site.
Until she died, 17-year-old Sasha Canaro was bound for the Olympics. Recovering from death, she finds she is an immortal shapechanger, faster and many times stronger than an ordinary human.
Competition in the Olympics would now be no competition. The goal she had aimed for since she was five would be boringly easy. What goal can she replace it with? Fighting crime, perhaps? There is plenty of it.

Our reputation and safety record speaks for itself...
We're a better and safer skydiving school and we'll prove it!
Jump with the best skydiving school in the United States - Chicagoland Skydiving Center. With our brand-new, purpose-built 20,000 square foot facility, on-site Flight Deck Bar & Grill, perfect student safety record, outstanding reputation, plus our general approach to business and customer service - why would you jump anywhere else? Besides, do you really want to jump at the cheapest skydiving school? We'll be the first to admit you can find a less-expensive skydive out there, but if you do your research, you'll find that Chicagoland Skydiving Center is the among the best. Don't believe us? According to www.dropzone.com, we are one of the highest rated skydiving centers in the world.
CSC focuses on the entire experience, not just the skydive. Join us for a fun-filled day(s) that you and your friends will never forget. We've created a one-of-a-kind entertainment facility for spectators and skydivers alike. We have plenty of fun activities to keep everyone entertained including a competition sand volleyball court, bags, pool table, darts, video games, lounge, plenty of TVs, and blazing fast public wi-fi. Stick around for an aprés-jump beverage and/or meal at The Flight Deck Bar & Grill. Don't forget we offer (and encourage) free camping.
Please remember, anyone can put up a website and advertise that they are the best, but unfortunately many of them are far from what they say. In most cases, they are poorly managed, underfunded, and forced to operate with antiquated, tired skydiving equipment, minimally experienced instructors, and under-maintained aircraft. ONLY CSC has invested over $6,000,000.00 to create the nicest and safest skydiving center in the world. All of our skydiving gear is on a 3 year rotation plan. In other words, you won't find any skydiving equipment in our gear room over 3 years old. In addition to our equipment, CSC is home to the nicest and best maintained aircraft in skydiving. Our planes are maintained by Triangle Aircraft Maintenance in North Carolina. It's this unique approach to safety that attracts some of the most talented skydiving instructors in the world to CSC. Take a look at the experience levels of the CSC Team. Our instructional and ground support staff are the best in the industry!
We hope you now realize that skydiving centers are all very different. If you're looking for a fun, safe experience, join our growing family of new and licensed skydivers who choose to call CSC in Rochelle, IL their skydiving center of choice.

The Nov. 5 mass shooting incident at Ft. Hood, Texas, that killed 13 and wounded 30 demonstrated two important facts: The Army takes care of its own, and nearby civilian EMS agencies have good relations with their military neighbor. JEMS has been able to confirm that Copperas Cove, Harker Heights and Killeen fire departments all sent equipment and personnel to assist Ft. Hood EMS during the worst military-base mass-casualty incident (MCI) in U.S. history.
Copperas Cove Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Gary Young, who responded to the incident and served as an EMS command officer, says, "I've never known of or seen such a huge number of unaffected military and civilian people doing first response." He described the injuries he saw as "gunshot wounds to any part of the body you can imagine."
Copperas Cove sent two ambulances, manned with four paramedics and two EMTs, and a staff vehicle to the military installation.
Young says he couldn't turn around without seeing someone helping the shooting victims. They were tearing up uniforms to make tourniquets and bandages. "Usually at an MCI, responders are outnumbered by patients," he says, adding that this time was very different. "It was very difficult to do triage, because the people helping victims were so demanding. They were focused on the victim they were helping."
Because of the rapid first response and on-scene case, transportation went extremely well. As soon as an ambulance arrived, someone would meet it, shove a patient in and say, "OK. Go."
Copperas Cove was able to perform scoop and run, transporting a patient to Metroplex Hospital in Killeen immediately on arrival, with all care rendered en route by their crew. Later, they transferred a patient from Metroplex to Scott and White Memorial Hospital in Temple. Scott and White is the only Level 1 trauma facility in the area.
Harker Heights Fire Department also sent a unit to Ft. Hood -- a mobile intensive care unit (MICU) staffed with two paramedics. Chief Jack Collier says his unit stayed in staging the whole time they were on scene. He says many patients were air-lifted out. Collier says Harker Heights works frequently with the Ft. Hood Fire Department and surrounding departments. Thursday was no different.
A spokesman at the Army Office of Public Affairs says that at the time of the shooting, the Soldier's Readiness Processing Center (SRPC) was full of military personnel undergoing medical examinations prior to deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan. Because soldiers have been redeployed so frequently during the past few years, there were bound to be some combat veterans in the group. "Anyone who has deployed before probably has experience with administering first aid for wounds," says the spokesman. Plus, all soldiers receive basic first aid training early in their U.S. Army careers and are trained to use tourniquets.(1)
During Friday's news conference from Ft. Hood, a spokesman said about 400 people were at the scene of the shooting. One of them was Young's wife, a civilian nurse working under contract at Ft. Hood. Young says bullets flew past her and at least one soldier at arm's length away from her was shot and killed. When Young joined his wife at the SRPC, he saw bullet casings all over the floor, left behind for the investigators to examine after the worst shooting on a stateside military base.

What is the best Lee for you to play in TWD Game?
Scumbag Lee
Kind Lee
Still Has Humanity Left In Him-Lee
What is the best Lee for you to play in TWD Game?
Scumbag Lee
Kind Lee
Still Has Humanity Left In Him-Lee
What's the difference between kind and still has humanity? In my main game I've been trying to make as many good decisions as possible. I tried to help Larry, I saved Ben, I got everyone to help me find Clementine, I chose to take the gun from Kenny and shoot both Duck and the boy in the attic, and so on. I've played through another time making as many mean-spirited decisions as I could, which funnily enough means Kenny likes me a lot more in the second game than in the first.
There is no "good or bad" for me, I just make what I think I should do in that specific moment.
I´m never with the idea of "always I have to be a dick" or "always I have to make good decisions". Nope, lol...
I have three different playthroughs. Me Lee, which is my first reaction of each episode without going back and changing anything (my main game); Best Possible Choice Lee, which is whatever I think would have been the best scenario in retrospect; and Silent Lee. That one is the most fun ;o
I play my Lee as a nice, honest person who is always as truthful as possible, lest it come back and bite him in the ass. So far, the honesty-is-the-best-policy approach has been the best one, since it's prevented at least a few incidents.
I have my own unique Lee, but the best one to watch is obviously Scumbag Lee :D

Curino Carlo Aldo Present position: Post-doc at UCLA http://carlo.curino.us/ |
Thesis title: | Panta Rhei: Database Evolution and Integration from Practice to Vision |
Advisor: | Letizia Tanca, Carlo Zaniolo |
Research area: | Web, multimedia e database |
Thesis abstract: | ``Panta Rhei''---everything is in a state of flux. Does this impact Information Systems? Does this impact real-life DB management? To answer these interrogatives, we analyzed the evolution history of popular Web Information Systems including the well known portal Wikipedia. Beyond confirming the initial hunch about the severity of the problem, our analysis suggests the need for developing better methods and tools to support graceful schema evolution and data archiving under schema evolution. Schema evolution represents an unsolved problem for traditional information systems that is further exacerbated in web information systems, and public scientific databases. As of today, schema evolution remains an error-prone and time-consuming undertaking, because the DB Administrator (DBA) lacks the methods and tools needed to manage and automate this endeavor by (i) predicting and evaluating the effects of the proposed schema changes, (ii) rewriting queries and applications to operate on the new schema, and (iii) migrating the database. The PRISM system, that we developed, takes a big first step toward addressing this pressing need by providing: (i) a language of Schema Modification Operators (SMOs) to express concisely complex schema changes, (ii) tools that allow the DBA to evaluate the effects of such changes, (iii) optimized translation of old queries to work on the new schema version, (iv) automatic data migration, and (v) full documentation of intervened changes as needed to support data provenance, database flash back, and historical queries. PRISM solves these problems by integrating recent theoretical advances on mapping composition and invertibility, into a design that also achieves usability and scalability. PRISM has been tested against the Wikipedia schema history with significant and encouraging results. Furthermore, the accountability obligations of companies and organizations made even more urgent the old problem of managing the history of database information, particular taxing for database subject to schema changes. The other system we developed, named PRIMA, addresses this difficult problem by introducing two key pieces of new technology. The first is a method for publishing the history of a relational database in XML, whereby the evolution of the schema and its underlying database are given a unified representation. This temporally grouped representation makes it easy to formulate sophisticated historical queries on any given schema version using standard XQuery. The second key piece of technology provided by PRIMA makes schema evolution transparent to the user, that can write queries against the current schema while retrieving the data from one or more schema versions. The system then substitues the user in the expensive and difficult task of rewriting such queries into equivalent ones for the appropriate versions of the schema. The latter one is realized by (i) exploiting the same SMOs language we defined in for PRISM to represent the mappings between successive schema versions and (ii) an XML integrity constraint language (XIC) to capture the mapping, needed by the rewriting engine, in the XML representation of the schema history. Two implementations are presented, one relying on the native XML query engine, and another exploiting mature relational technology to overcome the XML performance bottleneck. Temporal-specific query optimization techniques are presented, both for complex temporal query answering and to support efficient temporal coalescing. PRISM and PRIMA systems are integrated into the Panta Rhei Framework, which is designed to provide powerful tools that: (i) facilitate schema evolution and guide the Database Administrator in planning and evaluating changes, (ii) support automatic rewriting of legacy queries against the current schema version, (iii) enable efficient archiving of the histories of data and metadata, and (iv) support complex temporal queries over such histories. Another crucial aspect needed to fully address the problem of Information Systems evolution is the support of data integration. The current business reality induces frequent acquisitions and merges of companies and organizations, and more and more tight interaction between information systems of cooperating companies. We present our contributions to Context-ADDICT , a framework supporting on-the-fly (semi-) automatic data integration, context modeling and context-aware data filtering. Data Integration is achieved in Context-ADDICT by means of automatic ontology-based data source wrapping and integration. While this approach lays its foundations in a solid theoretical background, it also provides heuristics to solve the practical aspects of data integration in a dynamic environment. The context management aspects of Context-ADDICT are outside the scope of this thesis and our contributions on this topics will be only briefly summarized when presenting the overall framework. Context-ADDICT is still under active development, while various components have already been developed and tested with encouraging results. We conclude proposing a unified framework, combining the contributions on schema evolution and data integration discussed so far. The framework we propose, named ADAM (Advanced Data And Metadata Manager), seeks to deliver: (i) practical solutions to the problems of automatic schema mapping and assisted schema evolution, by exploiting the synergies of an integrated approach, and (ii) enable Semantic Web applications to operate on such data. |

Alpha-synuclein and cysteine-string protein-alpha (CSPalpha) are abundant synaptic vesicle proteins independently linked to neurodegeneration. Dominantly inherited mutations in alpha-synuclein cause Parkinson's disease, but the physiological role of alpha-synuclein remains unknown. Deletion of CSPalpha produces rapidly progressive neurodegeneration in mice, presumably because the cochaperone function of CSPalpha is essential for neuronal survival. Here, we report the surprising finding that transgenic expression of alpha-synuclein abolishes the lethality and neurodegeneration caused by deletion of CSPalpha. Conversely, ablation of endogenous synucleins exacerbates these phenotypes. Deletion of CSPalpha inhibits SNARE complex assembly; transgenic alpha-synuclein ameliorates this inhibition. In preventing neurodegeneration in CSPalpha-deficient mice, alpha-synuclein does not simply substitute for CSPalpha but acts by a downstream mechanism that requires phospholipid binding by alpha-synuclein. These observations reveal a powerful in vivo activity of alpha-synuclein in protecting nerve terminals against injury and suggest that this activity operates in conjunction with CSPalpha and SNARE proteins on the presynaptic membrane interface.

Developing Internal Controls Over Federal Programs — Your Key to Effective Grants Management
October 21, 2013 Webinar - Listen On-Demand or Get a CD!
Often, the reasons behind noncompliance in a federal grant program can be traced to deficiencies in the policies and procedures that the organization uses to manage the federal funds. This webinar provides practical tips about the control features your organization should put in place to protect its federal grant portfolio.
The On-Demand recording will be available immediately upon purchase* as a link within a PDF file of the accompanying written materials. CDs and printed materials are shipped via USPS.
Get Practical Help on Developing Effective Internal Controls Over Federal Grants
Noncompliance in a federal grant program is often a headline grabber. Organizations that stand accused of violating laws, regulations, or award terms and conditions can suffer both reputation damage and the financial hit that comes with having to pay back disallowed costs with nonfederal cash.
What rarely gets attention, however, are the reasons why the violations occurred. Invariably, these reasons can be traced to deficiencies in the policies and procedures that the organization uses to manage the federal funds — or what the auditors call "internal controls over federal programs."
Longstanding federal grant policies require that recipients and subrecipients develop and maintain internal controls over federal programs that provide "reasonable assurance" that awards are being managed in compliance with all requirements; how these preventative controls are designed and implemented is left to the organizations themselves. That's a double-edged sword.
The feds have wisely refrained from imposing a "one-size-fits-all" approach to internal controls on the many thousands of diverse grantees and subgrantees across the nation. But, they also offer only limited guidance about what control features will lead to the level of assurance they're after.
This webinar will help fill that void. You'll receive practical tips about how to respond to the need for policies and procedures in these key grants management areas:
- Application preparation
- Financial management
- Cost allowability
- Purchasing
- Property management
- Programmatic and budgetary changes
- Matching and cost sharing
- Program income
- Reporting and recordkeeping
- Subrecipient management and monitoring
Level: Basic
Prerequisites: Some knowledge of federal grants management is helpful but not necessary
Advanced preparation: None
Hand-out Materials
Attendees will receive presentation slides as well as access to background documents.

Although he is a water dragon, Zap was raised in the seas of Skylands, electric eels. He is a very friendly creature who is liked by all sea creatures except dolphins. This is because when he rides the waves alongside the dolphins, he regularly shocks them by accident. Despite this he is a powerful protector of all sea life in the Skylands.
Series 1 Skylanders Zap
This is the figure designed for the Spyro's Adventure video game, and so has green plastic at the bottom of the base. Skylanders Zap belongs to the Water Element group of Skylanders and so has a base decorated with turquoise water. The figure itself is really cool, as he has a pretty ferocious expression and looks ready for action. As I mentioned above he is a water dragon, and he is blue with green spines. He wears a yellow vest, which is supposed to harness his electric charge. This Series 1 figure will also play in the later Giants game.
Series 2 Zap
The Series 2 figure has a slightly different pose, although looks just as cool! This figure has orange on the bottom of it's base, showing that he is a Series 2 figure created for the Giants game. This figure plays slightly differently im the game too. Series 2 Skylanders Zap has a special "Wow Pow" upgrade power, and at a certain point in the game theere is a choice of two separate upgrade paths. You can either choose to improve his Lightning Breath and Wave Attacks or his Sea Slime Skills! This Series 2 figure can also be used in the original Spyro's Adventure game.
Glow In The Dark Zap
This is really a pretty awesome figure. Glow in the Dark Zap was produced for the Spyro's Adventure game. This special figure was produced in much lower numbers that the regular version, and so has become quite rare, and a bit of a collectors item. This figure is essentially the same as a Series 1 figure, but painted in glow in the dark paint. Although he looks really cool, he actually plays and looks the same as the regular figure in the game itself.
A Video from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Product Information on Skylanders Zap
The Series 1 figure is available individually in a Single Character Pack. He is also available in a triple pack with Series 1 Hex and Dino-Rang. The Series 2 version is available as part of the Scorpion Striker Battle Pack, along with the Scorpion Striker Catapult and Hot Dog. The Glow in the dark figure is available on sites such as Amazon or eBay in single character packs.

Max's Review
I like that he can shoot thunder bolts very fast and he leaves behind sea slime that electrocutes enemies. Sometimes I write letters with it. I like it when he makes a wave that you can let go and it does damage, this is an upgrade. My favorite move is the wave attack.

evergreen screen needed for tight, sunny spot adjacent to wall
Ideally we would plant three to five fastigiate, evergreen, bird-friendly and fast-growing plants in a sunny tight spot between out side kitchen door and the neighbor's drive. Here are some of the ideas we've had:
ilex crenata "sky pencil"
non-invasive evergreen bamboo (is there any such thing for zone 6?)
a fastigiate beech or other deciduous, narrow cultivar that holds on to its leaves through the winter?
What thoughts come to mind? Your comments very much appreciated.
How tight is the tight spot?
What sort of height did you have in mind? Are you trying to make a privacy screen?
Yes, missing, we are hoping for a privacy screen, and the spot is about 3 feet (of planting bed depth) by seven feet of planting bed length, against a 4.5 foot brick wall, with southeastern exposure -- sorry I didn't see your kind response before....
Laag, the taller the screen the better, really -- this is between two old, three-story houses, the walls of which are about 25--30 feet apart. On the other side, where there is less constrained space, I have a cluster of weeping Alaskan cedar that are working out very well as a screen between my windows and those of my neighbor.
The current problem that I'm trying to solve is made tight by a 5.5 foot brick wall and a concrete walk. One possibility, an alternative to a fastigiate evergreen, would be a sort of vase-shaped evergreen (if I could think of one like that) with upright limbs starting about five feet up so that the brick wall isn't a problem. I could underplant that with something else to fill in under the tree along the wall.
Any tree you can buy, you can limb up so its branches start where you like - as it grows, of course.
I'm not clear on how much space you have up in the air. Would a normal deciduous tree fit - I don't get why, with 25 feet, it has to be fastigiate. Also, is the wall yours or your neighbour's? Is the property line right up the middle of those 25 feet? A photo of the area or better description of the parameters might help.
All you're getting is questions, but we're not really obtuse - just need to get the picture :-)
Hi, KarinL, if I can post a decent picture of the crime scene I will -- fastigiate because any tree planted up against the wall (my neighbor's wall) will overhang her driveway and she may be tempted to "side" it if branches are in her way -- she's no landscape artist, and I would hate to see a tree or shrub deformed. I think it should be evergreen because I'll need a screen for this site year-round. For now I can't think of a medium-sized columnar evergreen that looks good limbed up. We think Ilex crenata Sky Pencil won't like being up against the brick wall.
For now we have propped up the original screen that was blown down this hard winter -- it's a variegated euonymous, now held up with a wire trellis bolted onto the wall with rebar, etc, and so we have time to deliberate. But it sort of looks not so great.
Ok, so first, I wouldn't worry about her pruning anything that overhangs her side. That is her right, and your plant can still do its job if it is pruned. In fact, if I were you I'd keep it pruned so that you control its pruning, not her, and since it would be your plant. You can prune the branches short to encourage bushiness rather than cutting them at the trunk.
Second, one reason I was interested in a photo was that I couldn't picture this wall, whether it went up or down or retained something or what. This still hasn't quite told me what I would like to know, namely whether trees planted could damage the wall. Is it her driveway on the other side, and if so, is it at the same level as your ground? I'm wondering whether tree roots could blow out the wall on her side. You said it was her wall, and that could be your liability.
I would get rid of the euonymous, and the ivy, which will kill any tree you try to plant there.
The wall is attractive, so there is no worry about limbing things up, but you don't actually need to limb up all around a plant; just the branches that grow out to your sidewalk. Think of the plant as growing in a fan shape, two dimensionally. In front of the wall you just take out branches growing forward and backward, but above the wall you can cut short as I described above.
You can use a number of strategies here, remembering that plants are living things that need to transition into and out of the ideal size you need. You can interplant both fast and slow-growing things, taking out the faster growing ones as they outgrow the space and the slower-growing ones get to size. For example there is a wonderful Ilex cultivar called Mariesii that would take time to grow in, but would serve once it gets there for many years. Grow it to size in the company of a fast-growing Physocarpus that you grow in a fan shape. Another strategy is to use maybe two fast-growing shrubs, planting and culling on a staggered schedule so you always have some coverage.
You can also plant a broader canopy tree right where that big weed is (borage?) to use the airspace you have to block the view - you don't have to do it right at the property line.
This is just to say that fastigiate is not your only option. But if you want to go fastigiate, I think I would look into some specimen conifers that are attractive in and of themselves - say a gold and a green or blue variety of weeping norway spruce or something, maybe with the shooting-upright type of junipers, maybe a juniper gold cone - because putting something you like to look at in that spot will enhance your experience of your space. The weeping conifers can even keep their skirts if you just trim them to the walk.
KarinL, thank you for your generous thoughts. Where that big weed (?borage) is there might be driveway one day, so I still am thinking that the planting should be against that wall. The ivy belongs to my neighbor and covers her brick porte cochere. On the other side of the wall is her driveway, which is the same grade level as our concrete walk.
I have thought about spiral juniper, and you are right: ilex crenata Mariesii is lovely, given time. Here's a sort of curveball: what would you think of weeping copper beech Purple Fountain? They are tall and fast and narrow and kinetic.
Physocarpus is a plant that I have admired but never knew what it was!
Weeping Norway spruce is a good idea.
Thanks again,
If it was me I would take everything out and put in a group of very formal, narrow, upright conifers with very little underplanting to add just a speck of color and texture. In other words, very tight, well behaved plants.
I would treat it as a strong focal point but one that doesn't need to be overworked or need too much attention.
Serviceable and reliable.
I just posted a new thread showing an approach that might work...I meant to post two different photos on it and will rectify that later, but the idea is there.
Here is a link that might be useful: screening thread
What would you think of a screen of three weeping copper beech Purple Fountain? Could it grow together densely enough to create a reasonably effective screen even in winter after the leaves are off? A neighbor has a beautiful old beech hedge, the trees planted a little less than 2 feet apart on center. These beeches do tend to hang on to their leaves through much of the winter, while I don't think copper beeches do,
