Using Macromedia Flash to design effective learning support
CASE STUDIES This case study is one of a collection of six bioscience case studies from the publication Effective Use of IT: Guidance on Practice in the Biosciences, written by Lorraine Stefani and published by the Centre for Bioscience, The Higher Education Academy. All the case studies have been written by bioscientists who have used IT in their own teaching. The case studies are organised around common headings ('Background and rationale', 'Advice', 'Troubleshooting', 'Does it work?' and 'Further Developments'), but each study reflects the author's individual style and preference. 2 Using Macromedia Flash to design effective learning support resources to teach bioscience Matthew Hammerton, Formerly School of Applied Science, University of Wolverhampton, now at Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, Loughborough University, LE11 3TU. E-mail: email@example.com These case studies illustrate a range of approaches to using technology to teach bioscience. It is envisaged that these cases studies will provide guidance, inspiration, as well as practical advice on implementing e-learning in the biosciences. There is also an accompanying website to this guide (http://www.bioscience.heacademy. ac.uk/TeachingGuides/). The website contains further practical material to aid the reader in using technology in teaching. The site includes expanded versions of the case studies, video clips, further bioscience case studies and supporting material. 1 Effective Use of IT: Guidance on Practice in the Biosciences Case Study 2 Using Macromedia Flash to design effective learning support resources to teach bioscience Using Macromedia Flash to design effective learning support resources to teach bioscience Matthew Hammerton Background and rationale Access to crime scene scenarios allowing Macromedia Flash emerged in 1997 as a simple students to demonstrate skills learnt in a 'real' on-screen animation package called FutureSplash. situation.

Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This rocker was an excellent choice. The materials are well made. We were able to put it together in an hour. It is very sturdy and comfortable. We would definitely buy from ATG again if this is the kind of quality they have. It is a great addition to the wicker furniture in our sunroom. It looks exactly as it is portrayed in the add. While tools were included and worked ok, we found it easier to use our own tools to make the job quicker. We feel this was an excellent decision.

Plantation Rockers

Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
It took a while to get the chairs as they were out of stock, but I can see why. They are very good quality, the color is the same as the picture and they came in excellent condition. The cushions that came with the chairs are of good quality as well. They look very nice on our front porch with a colorful rug underneath them and the matching table between them. I would definitely recommend them.

Dell Is Gaining Server Share
IDC and Gartner preliminary data shows Dell gaining unit share in the intensely competitive server market even as the company moves to complete a $24.4 billion leveraged buyout. On a worldwide basis, Dell's first-quarter server unit shipments grew 5.7 percent compared to the year ago quarter, according to IDC.
Gartner first-quarter preliminary worldwide data, meanwhile, shows Dell's unit server shipment share up 2.6 percent to 22.2 percent in the first calendar quarter compared to the year ago quarter.
Dell's unit share of the North American market, meanwhile, climbed to 35.7 percent in the first quarter, up from 31.7 percent during the same quarter a year ago, according to IDC preliminary data.
Dell CEO Michael Dell says the gains are signs of a company that is getting more aggressive and sharply focused on executing in the sales trenches. "We are playing offense here," he said. "The other guys are playing defense."

Solana Beach 'bullying' homeless man, friends say By Dana Littlefield November 7, 2001 SOLANA BEACH -- Neighbors and local business owners are rallying behind a homeless man they believe is being treated unfairly by city and county officials. Robert Thomas Northcut, 49, who has lived on the streets of Solana Beach for more than a decade, was arrested last week on suspicion of trespassing on a city-owned traffic median where a war memorial sits. Sam Georges, a lawyer from Solana Beach, and Chris Tatem, owner of the Do-It-Yourself Dog Wash in Solana Beach, helped get Northcut out of jail. Now they and several other residents are working to handle his legal problems, including reuniting him with his dog, which was taken to a county animal shelter when he was arrested. "The only thing I own is that damn dog," Northcut said Monday while lying in the grass overlooking Fletcher Cove. "He's my dog and he's faithful to me." Even before Northcut's arrest, neighbors banded together to help him out and bring him food. They even cared for his dog, getting it neutered, vaccinated and registered with the county. "It's not one person; it's the whole community," said Tatem. They said that Northcut doesn't panhandle or bother their customers and that he just wants to be left alone with his dog to live outdoors. Putting him inside a building, Georges said, would be like "taking a coyote and chaining it in the garage." Northcut's German shepherd -- named Thomas Jefferson, or T.J. for short -- remains in custody at the county animal shelter in Carlsbad for lunging and barking at city and transit employees. The dog bit a man in May, according to animal control officials, and city staff members say it threatened several maintenance workers and one department head. Northcut admitted that his dog has bitten people, but said T.J. was just protecting his master. The dog had been abused before being rescued in Tijuana and nursed back to health by Northcut and Tatem. "He's a very feisty animal. He's addle-brained," Northcut said. "He's a lot like me. He's all nervous like me." Members of the county Dangerous Dog Task Force are expected to decide today whether to issue a notice declaring T.J. a public nuisance. If that happens, a hearing will follow, and the dog could be required to wear a muzzle or be fenced off from the public entirely. Northcut said he and T.J. set up camp at the war memorial after he heard reports on a portable radio of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. For the next few days, Northcut, who said he is a Navy veteran, raised and lowered the U.S. flag on a pole near the memorial to half-staff to honor victims. "He was taking care of the war memorial," Georges said. "It was his effort to 9/11." He said that the city is "bullying" Northcut for crushing plants that surround the World War II memorial where Northcut and T.J. had been sleeping, and that the county should return his dog. "He's just lost without his dog," Georges said. "If the city doesn't want him around, there are definitely more humane ways to get him away from there." City officials said the traffic median, on Plaza Street and surrounded by cars heading to and from Fletcher Cove, is not a safe spot to hang around. A "No Trespassing" sign is posted near the flagpole, which shares the crowded median with a large fountain and the memorial. "There really isn't a place for people to congregate," said City Manager Bob Semple. "It wasn't meant to be used for people to gather there." Northcut has been cited several times for trespassing at other spots in the city. Jennifer Lynch, the Vista attorney whom Georges asked to appear in court last week on Northcut's behalf, disagreed with Semple. "To say that there's no trespassing at a war memorial is unconscionable," Lynch said. A court hearing on Northcut's trespassing charge is scheduled for Nov. 15. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Copyright 2001 Union-Tribune Publishing Co.
I just spoke to Sam Georges as he was stepping onto the plane for his international flight.
To clarify some matters. The mobile home was offered to RT Northcut about 3 years ago when the weather was very nasty. We are checking to see if something like that is available again.
The court matters that Northcut went through related to a couple of OLD trespassing violations. Back in 96 or 97. The current one the City laid on him will be having it's Court date November 15th. Jennifer and another lawyer will be there to defend him.

Communicate! Let the Sons of....
to send a link of this ( or a copy of the story ) to a lot of people, papers, talk show hosts, etc.?
We should sware in volunteers as part of the Civilian Homeland Security (CHS) force. Sware this guy in and let him guard the flag.
The rest of the CHS can take turns guarding power lines and what not. When are they gonna involve civilians in the civil defense?
You would probably feel more at home at democrats.com
He probably does not want your sympathy anyhow.
I am glad his response was to protect a symbol of his service, but it doesn't sound like he is right in the head.
Why would the Police "all of a sudden' arrest him for this? Is this memorial in a spot in town where a shanty would be unacceptable? Has he had other behaviours where he ran into Police problems, only for this to be the last straw?
His veteran status; is it confirmed? IS he a genuine vet? Are his awards legitimate?
Is it possible he is mentally disturbed, and that is why he is living on his own on the street? It does NOT sound lke a rational act, to go to the town square and protect a memorial, no matter how well intentioned.
I'd like to know more about the guy, but from what I have read in the last few days, it sounds like this guy needs to spend time with a counselor.
< If he is a veteran, he has my sympathy, in fact, if he is NOT a vet, he has my sympathy, but his actions don't sound right to me.
On a serious note ... I am so proud of everybody who has taken a stand and supported this man and his dog. And I'm ESPECIALLY proud of B4Ranch for bringing it to our attention and keeping it to the forefront so that we don't "forget". I pray that God heap multiple blessings upon the pro bono attorneys, too!
I'm not but I play one over at the Canteen. : )
Calm down, 'tin sailor'. People will take care of the Vet.
And a muzzle for his pup would help.

God bless him, i hope he gets his shepherd back. why can't these elitist bastards
let this forgotten soul continue to do what he sees as his duty. unforgivable.
If he/she IT posts directly to me...then ATTILA THE BUN will answer. giggle
I love your post.
A BIG one for you! Unless the a**hole wants to do some reading and learn about TJ, he will get a busted face.
Decorated? Please tell us what those decorations are.
did little old me scare you with all my "HATRED"?
You generalize in terms that might fit any number BUMS you might have met on the street.
What threat is this man to you?
What threat is he to his community?
From what his friends say he is no threat even to himself.
and yet you continue to paint him with such a board brush.
Your body guard,
The recent press release entitled "Decorated Vietnam Vet Arrested Guarding War Memorial and American Flag in San Diego" contains several inaccuracies. The following information addresses some of the inaccuracies:
* The dog's aggressive manner prevents anyone, particularly children from approaching it. The City has received numerous complaints regarding the dog's aggressive behavior and has forwarded those complaints to San Diego County Animal Control.
* In May 2001, the dog bit someone who was walking along the public sidewalk.
* The dog is being held by San Diego County Animal Control. They will decide whether the dog can be returned to Mr. Northcutt.
* Mr. Northcutt frequented the memorial prior to the 9-11 terrorist attacks. There was no observable change in Mr. Northcutt's patterns after September 11.
* Mr. Northcutt was not responsible for raising and lowering the flag at the memorial. City personnel are responsible for the flag.
* Damage has occurred to public property as a result of Mr. Northcutt residing at various locations in the City.
* City Code Enforcement personnel were not present nor did they order that Mr. Northcutt be issued a citation.
* Mr. Northcutt was asked to leave the memorial site by Sheriff's deputies. Mr. Northcutt refused to leave and insisted on being issued a citation. Sheriff's deputies attempted to persuade Mr. Northcutt to leave the site, however, he continued to insist on receiving a citation.
* Mr. Northcutt was NOT arrested for trespassing on City property. In the process of issuing a citation Sheriff's deputies discovered that there were outstanding warrants on Mr. Northcutt. Mr. Northcutt was arrested based on the outstanding warrants.
* The City is primarily interested in ensuring that the dog does not harm anyone and that public property is not destroyed.
* The City is respectful of all citizens and has made special recognition of Veterans and active military personnel, including its participation in an "Adopt a Ship" program with the USS Fitzgerald DDG-62 and annual Memorial Day and Veterans Day services hosted jointly by the City and its local VFW post. Following the 9-11 attacks, Solana Beach was also one of the first cities in San Diego County to install patriotic banners along a major highway through the City.
They don't sound too happy about having to respond to the many emails and calls they must be receiving. I think this man and his dog are being treated like criminals, and the city officials protesteth too much.

NEW! - Issue 53:4
David Grandy leads off BYU Studies Quarterly 53, no. 4, finding spiritual meaning in the physical properties of light. Next, he teams with Barry Bickmore on an article about what "science" really means and how seeing science as telling "stories" is useful…
Recent Most Popular Journal - Issue 46:1
Through his personal interest in World War I, George S. Tate finds deeper meaning of D&C Section 138. Remembering the circumstances of 1918—the war, pandemic flu, and Joseph F. Smith's loss of a son—makes the assurance of divine love and ultimate redemption found in D&C 138 more poignant.

Joseph Smith Chronology
This chronology introduces readers to the energetic pace and broad scope of concerns that characterized the daily life of the Prophet Joseph Smith. It lists events that can be tied to specific days or weeks. Each event is briefly summarized in this chronology.
LDSFAQ is a website with over 400 questions about history, doctrine, and beliefs of the LDS church. Concise answers will be provided in a few paragraphs. All answers are supported with references and related questions are linked to one other.
BYU Studies is dedicated to publishing scholarly religious literature in the form of books, journals, and dissertations that is qualified, significant, and inspiring. We want to share these publications to help promote faith, continued learning, and further interest in our LDS history with those in the world who have a positive interest in this work.
In order to accomplish our mission, we have a few key objectives. Publications are selected from highly qualified authors who share the same goals and objectives as we do. Our editors and staff are experienced, educated, and trained in their respective positions.
As an outlet for BYU Studies literature, we accept mail, phone, and web orders for a variety of products. The BYU Studies journal is our most prominent publication. We provide subscriptions which allow each publication to be mailed to your door. The journal is complimented by a strong collection of relevant books and dissertations about subjects requiring more discussion and content than our journal has room to provide. Most of our books are also endorsed by the BYU Press. Recently, a collection of selected archives of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been produced on a set of DVD's. These DVD's provide an important resource for researchers and collectors. In addition to these great resources, we also provide comprehensive databases of article references by author, subject, title, and category to help you in any manner they can. Each reference will provide a link if its corresponding article is available in download, reprint, or journal form.
Since its inception in 1959, the BYU Studies organization has been led by a group of scholars devoted to seeking truth by study and also by faith. Past editors-in-chief have been Clinton Larson (1959–67), Charles Tate (1968–83), and Edward Geary (1984–91). Each has had his influence in making BYU Studies a high-caliber academic journal.
Clinton Larson remembers envisioning BYU Studies:
Three of us stood in a field to the north of Temple Hill. Darrel Taylor said, "I want to establish a language training center for missionaries of the Church.". . . And I thought of the possibility of a magazine for the university, as it might be, drawing its breath from the influence of ages past, from literature and the books wherein [Truth] lies.
A short time later, the magazine soon named BYU Studies, was born, with Clinton Larson as the first editor-in-chief and only staff member. Now the journal consists of full professional staff, an advisory board, and an intern program.
Charles Tate's vision for BYU Studies was that articles found therein would "not just tear down the wrong thing," but build the right thing. This led to the publication of many stellar issues of BYU Studies including several on the origins of the Church: "The articles in that issue showed that when scholars do their homework they find that Joseph Smith was telling the truth about what was happening around him historically." Because of this perspective, BYU Studies has become a premier journal that looks at Mormon history, religious studies, and many other topics with an eye of faith.
During Edward Geary's tenure, several issues came up that delved into serious topics: "[Members] want BYU to be a genuine university, and if the university is to sponsor a scholarly journal, they want it to be an instrument of serious and substantive inquiry." He firmly believes that scholarly journals "are among the few remaining bastions against the trivialization of thought in the two-column article and the twenty-second sound bite that dominate the popular media." As a result of this philosophy, BYU Studies has published over 1,585 well-researched items, including more than 50 bibliographies, 330 book reviews, and 265 poems.
Now John Welch continues to enthusiastically lead BYU Studies into a new century: "We live in dynamic times. The gospel gives needed orientation as the world faces a steady stream of new challenges. . . . BYU Studies hopes to fill a helpful and supporting role in these eternal purposes." And it is the hope of those at BYU Studies, past, present, or future, that whatever your vision of BYU Studies is, you will find thoughtful publications that seek to build the kingdom of God "by study and also by faith."
The BYU Studies Editorial Board consists of scholars from various disciplines who meet on a regular basis to review submissions, assign peer reviewers, and plan contents of upcoming issues.
The BYU Studies Advisory Board provides long-range vision. Made up of influential members appointed by the university, this group meets quarterly to review and approve major directions of the journal.
The BYU Studies Academy is composed of about one hundred scholars and specialists from BYU and the larger LDS community who voluntarily work to promote LDS scholarship at BYU Studies. The Academy meets annually to discuss ideas that will improve and expand BYU Studies' contribution to the LDS academic world.
For the past 50 years, authors have been the lifeblood of BYU Studies. These authors, both LDS and non-LDS, come from many disciplines and from many universities and represent the highest standards of academic excellence.
Demonstrating a commitment to applied education, BYU Studies also maintains a strong student intern program. Interns assist in source checking, copy editing, and proofreading. Senior editors train interns to develop and refine essential editing skills. Most interns work initially for academic credit and may later apply for paid positions. Skills learned at BYU Studies assist students in their own writing and are of great value in many professions.
Every article or book published by BYU Studies is rigorously edited. First the article is sent for a blind evaluation from peer reviewers. If the article is accepted for publication, every fact is source checked for accuracy, and the article is copy edited for readability. John W. Welch, a professor in the J. Reuben Clark Law School, is editor in chief. Heather Seferovich, senior executive editor, edits books and is on the Church History review board. James Summerhays, administrative editor, is on the book and media review board. Roger Terry, senior associate editor and financial officer, assists the arts and sciences board. Robert Spencer, production editor, handles electronic typesetting, formats the journal, and works closely with printers. Jennifer Hurlbut, managing editor, oversees source checking, copy editing, and copyrights. Annette Samuelsen, office manager, processes subscriptions, handles daily finances, oversees human resource matters, and deals with inventory and order fulfillment. Liza Olsen, coordinating editor, tracks submissions, coordinates board and academy activities, and communicates with authors and reviewers. Eden Rasmussen, web editor and computer support representative, maintains the BYU Studies website and supervises student programmers.
As a nonprofit organization, BYU Studies needs to produce just enough revenue to continue operations and keep providing valuable pulications. You can help our cause by doing any or all of the following things:

"It comes down to you": Inside the dream (and nightmare) of kickers
Back in the 2012 Fiesta Bowl, all eyes were on Stanford kicker Jordan Williamson as he lined up for a field goal at the end of regulation against Oklahoma State with the score tied at 38 a piece.
The first attempt came from the middle of the field and the 35-yard attempt would have won the game…but it sailed wide left. Then, in overtime, Williamson had a shot at redemption with a 43-yard try, but he missed that as well.
Oklahoma State went on to kick the game winning field goal in overtime to win 38-35, and when an emotional Williamson got to the locker room and pulled out his phone, he had over 100 texts and nearly 2,000 Facebook friend requests (mostly from Oklahoma State fans) along with countless Facebook messages that said everything from "I hope they pull your scholarship" and "I hope you die," to "I hope the team ties you up in the locker room and beats you," in much more colorful language
In the video below, Williamson says that after returning to campus he didn't go to class for two weeks, and opted to stay secluded in his room trying to sleep the day away and later turning to alcohol to numb his pain. When he did eventually venture out of he tried to fly under the radar by not wearing any Stanford gear, for fear of being recognized.
The turning point for him was months down the road, during November of the 2012 regular season against #2 ranked Oregon up in Eugene. After missing a pivotal 42-yard field goal in regulation that would have sent the Cardinal to the Pac-12 title game, Williamson jogged off the field and looked at David Shaw who told him, in the simplest of terms, "You need to grow up and start making those kicks."
Instead of being upset at the straightforward approach from his head coach, Williamson realized he was right, and returned the the field in overtime tied at 14 for another field goal attempt…and nailed this one
This video chronicles the story of Williamson's mindset and journey from lining up for the game winner in that Fiesta Bowl, to the implications it had on his life in the months afterwards, and finally to his return to the field and legendary status after nailing that kick in OT against the Ducks.
It's not just kickers, this is a great reminder that there are players, people, and coaches behind some of the biggest tragedies and triumphs in college football, and sports in general.
"Either we develop players really well, or those recruiting rankings are way off"
At Mississippi State's campus Pro Day yesterday, Dan Mullen was asked about the guys participating in the Bulldogs Pro Day that weren't necessarily highly recruited guys, some of whom have blossomed into potential first round picks, and NFL caliber players.
His response provided an alternative perspective that many may have never considered before around draft time.
"One of two things is happening. Either we develop players really well, or those recruiting rankings are way off. I don't know, there's probably a little bit of both in there." Mullen noted.
As coaches, oftentimes when we look at programs that are winning at a high level without the four and five star recruits, we chalk it up to the coaching and support staffs really developing their players better than anyone else because most coaches say that the recruiting rankings don't matter to them.
But as Mullen says, maybe the initial recruiting and star rankings are just way off…or maybe it's a mix of both.
Video of the Day – Spring football begins in Lubbock

Video of the Day
Spring football begins in Lubbock
One statistic that virtually guarantees a winning season
Want to win games next season? Force more turnovers than your opponent. And in other news, water is wet, the sun is hot and that friggin' dress was black and blue.
We all know that teams that can simultaneously force takeaways and limit giveaways are more likely to win games, but did you know just how powerful the turnover statistic is? So powerful that, at a certain point, the right turnover margin makes victory almost guaranteed. A year ago, SB Nation's Bill Connelly revealed that teams that register a plus-four or greater turnover margin win more than 90 percent of the time, and often in a blowout. This makes sense.
But what about at a macro level? FootballScoop examined the last seven seasons of turnover margins and found that among the 53 teams that forced an average turnover margin of greater than one per game, 52 of them posted winning seasons. (Why seven seasons? That's as far as back as the CFB Stats database goes.)
Fifty-two out of 53. Force a fraction more than one turnover per game than your opponent and your team has a 98.11% chance of a winning season.
Teams that master turnovers aren't just winning, most of them are winning big. Fifty of them won eight or more games, 40 won nine or more games, 32 won 10 or more games, 27 of the 50 eligible teams (excluding independents Navy and Army and FBS transitional club UTSA) won or shared a conference or division championship, three went undefeated and two won national championships. The clubs listed below averaged 9.9 wins per season, and most of them took claimed some sort of hardware along the way.
Of the teams that forced 1.01-or-more turnovers per game than their opponents…..
98.11% had winning seasons
94.33% won at least 8 games
75.47% won at least 9 games
60.38% won at least 10 games
54% won at least a share of a conference or division championshipThere are a number of examples of teams using an exceptional turnover margin to post historic seasons. Army's only winning season since 1996, a 7-6 mark in 2010, can be explained third-best 1.23 turnover margin in 2010. Rice experienced a smattering of winning seasons in the 1990's and early 2000's, but the Owls' 10-win season in 2008 was the programs first since 1949.They posted a 1.15 turnover margin that season. Buffalo's only winning seasons over the past seven seasons, eight-win campaigns in 2008 and 2013, coincide with 1.43 and 1.15 turnover margins.
Even the lone outlier makes sense. A Baylor team led by first-year head coach Art Briles and quarterbacked by true freshman Robert Griffin III went 4-8 despite posting a fourth-best 1.33 turnover margin. Baylor has now completed five straight winning seasons and back-to-back Big 12 championships while posting an even 1.00 turnover margin in each season.
Every team in college football wants to force turnovers while preventing its own, and few prove capable. The 53 clubs listed below represent a notch above six percent of the total seasons played since 2008. But there is no surer bet on a Saturday and over the course of the fall to winning games and hosting a trophy than mastering the art of ball control.

! won national championshipInside Scoop: Talking recruiting with Matt Dudek
Inside Scoop is back with Arizona's director of on-campus recruiting Matt Dudek. The man behind Arizona's recruiting efforts and social media branding, Dudek has been a frequent FootballScoop interview subject for some time now. This time around Scott and Matt discuss the lay of the land both in the Arizona program and the college football recruiting world at large.
A few of the topics:
– The over-the-top ridiculousness of Arizona's Wildcat Olympics.
– How Rich Rodriguez emphasizes family in every aspect of the Wildcats' program. The first thing visitors see upon entering the football offices is a photo of the entire staff with their families.
– "Something Coach Rodriguez asks in our recruiting meetings: does he play any other sports?" Why? It keeps a player in competition all year round versus devoting three months to games and nine months to workouts, and movements learned in basketball and baseball, for example, are things a kid won't learn in football but prove useful on the gridiron nonetheless.
– How to rise in the recruiting industry, and more programs looking to hire women in recruiting and operations roles.
– Why Instagram is the most popular social media hangout of recruits, but Twitter is the preferred medium for recruiters.

By John Stone One of the greatest puzzles of the saga is what has sustained this level of mistrust in the medical authority. Unlike most scientific controversies, which flare up and die away, this one has simmered for a decade. And it looks set to be fired up again by the conclusion of the General Medical Council case against the chief author of the Lancet paper, Andrew Wakefield, which is expected to conclude early in 2010. To which I responded: Laurance [1] writes: "One of the greatest puzzles of the saga is what has sustained this level of mistrust in the medical authority." It may seem like this to a newspaper journalist, not paying enough attention to the small print, but it does not seem like this to many autism parents. One of the features of this episode is the reverse spin given to studies which actually support further concern. For instance, a widely reported study by Hornig et al 'Lack of Association between Measles Virus Vaccine and Autism with Enteropathy: A Case-Control Study' actually immeasurably enhanced the plausibility of the Wakefield hypothesis by showing the persistance of measles virus in the ileum of two patients (one autistic, one control, but both with bowel disease and having had MMR) confirmed in 3 laboratories. To cap it all in the discussion the authors stated: "Our results differ with reports noting MV RNA in ileal biopsies of 75% of ASD vs. 6% of control children... Discrepancies are unlikely to represent differences in experimental technique because similar primer and probe sequences, cycling conditions and instruments were employed in this and earlier reports; furthermore, one of the three laboratories participating in this study performed the assays described in earlier reports. Other factors to consider include differences in patient age, sex, origin (Europe vs. North America), GI disease, recency of MMR vaccine administration at time of biopsy, and methods for confirming neuropsychiatric status in cases and controls." thus, quietly endorsing the results of the Uhlmann (O'Leary/Wakefield) study [2,3]. These anomalies were not picked up or reported by mainstream journalists. Another key case is the Cochrane review of MMR 2005 [4], which actually gave a poor review to the six autism studies included, and found little evidence for the vaccines safety - indeed, had found the safety studies to be "largely inadequate" - against which the claim that it had not found any evidence that MMR causes autism and bowel disease has to be assesed for its relevance [5]. Meanwhile, a Cambridgeshire study of autism in children detected an incidence of ~1 in 60 [6], a result which the Observer newspaper was pilloried for reporting by Ben Goldacre and the lead author Simon Baron Cohen, ahead of the GMC hearing against Wakefield and colleagues [7], but which later turned out to be well-founded. Whatever happens at the GMC, I suggest, the greatest gap in credibilty lies with a scientific profession which has failed to explain what is happening to our children. [1] Jeremy Laurance, 'Health stories of the decade' [2] Hornig et al, 'Lack of Association between Measles Virus Vaccine and Autism with Enteropathy: A Case-Control Study' [3] Uhlmann et al, 'Potential viral pathogenic mechanism for new variant inflammatory bowel disease' [4] Demicheli et al, 'Vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella in children' John Stone is UK Editor for Age of Autism.

True Reach-In Refrigerators, True Undercounter Refrigerators, and True Freezers
The True reach-in refrigerator is one of the best-selling refrigerators from the True Manufacturing Company. When it comes to fridges, reach-in refrigeration units are considered one of the most essential equipments in a restaurant's kitchen. There are a wide selection of reach-in refrigerators to choose from, with each unit highlighting different features.
For example, a look at the True reach-in refrigerator will give off the impression that it is similar in function to a regular kitchen fridge, but with some added features: it usually contains two or three drawers or shelves in the fridge center as well as extra storage shelves located in the door. In short, a True fridge built for industrial use is simply a commercial reach-in compartment essential for chilling food and beverages that are commonly served in bars and restaurants. That said, a reach-in commercial refrigerator is usually ideal for smaller food-service establishments that do not need to store a relatively big amount of items. Larger stores usually require walk-in refrigerators as opposed to reach-in coolers. These kinds of fridges are generally a small room that can contain or store a large or wholesale amount of food or drink.
When it comes to commercial reach-in freezers, we at Rapids Wholesale have a wide selection of True commercial freezers depending on what you require. You can choose from a True 2 door freezer, a True 3 door freezer, or freezers with one or four doors.
Serving Ice Cream, Gelato, or other Frozen Treats? Get a True Dipping Cabinet
Ice cream dipping cabinets are essentially ice cream fridges. An ice cream dipping cabinet, therefore, is specifically designed to freeze ice cream and other similar foods. For instance, if you select a True dipping cabinet from Rapids Wholesale, you are assured that you can maintain and keep the taste of your shop's gelato, ice cream, and similar frozen treats. An advantage of an ice cream dipping cabinet, however, is that it can additionally include chocolate and syrup pumps and even jars with lids and spoons.
We have True dipping cabinets that are essentially like display freezers that feature the frozen treats in uncovered pans that make for easier serving into cones or cups: we have ice cream dipping cabinets that hold four cans, thirteen cans, twenty cans, and twenty-eight cans. Rapids also gives you a choice of True dipping cabinets that are essentially like ordinary ice cream storage freezers that utilize solid doors instead of see-through glass or plastic doors. We feature units that holds seven cans and thirteen cans.
Get a True Pizza Prep Table or a True Deli Case at Rapids Wholesale
For owners of pizza shops, sandwich stations, or delis, we at Rapids Wholesale have a wide variety of True pizza prep tables and True sandwich units that are also ideal for preparing salads. Our True pizza prep tables come in one door, two drawers, and four drawers or you can select from units that can hold eight pans, nine pans, twelve pans, and fifteen pans. If you want a True sandwich unit, however, you can select units that feature one, two, or three doors or units that can hold eight, ten, twelve, sixteen, eighteen, twenty-four, and thirty pans, depending on your establishment's requirements.
Help speed up the work of your staff in your sandwich station or pizza restaurant with the help of our True pizza prep tables and True sandwich units. Keep food ingredients fresh until you need to assemble that customer's sandwich or salad or until you need to put the pizza inside the oven.

Questions & Answers
Does this thermostat have a swing setting to turn the AC on and off at different temperatures?
Per the manufacturer, the Lux TX500E thermostat is a programmable thermostat that allows users swing settings.These instructions are per Lux and explain how to establish a swing setting:"Your system should cycle on about 3 to 6 times per hour. A smaller swing number increases the number of cycles per hour, so the room temperature is more precise and constant. A larger swing number decreases the number of cycles per hour, but saves energy in most cases. To change the Swing setting, turn the dial to RUN mode. Hold down the NEXT button and push the HOLD button once, then let go of both. The words SWING and SET will appear on the screen with a number. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to change the number value between 1 and 9. Number 1 is the default setting. Press the NEXT button to accept the setting and return to normal Run mode."
I have recently purchased a condo with the Lux TX1500E installed. The seller did not have operating instructions. Can you send me those instructions? Thanks.
