Early identification of individuals who are at risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischemic stroke may enable a closer surveillance and thus prompt initiation of oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention.
This study sought to investigate whether congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years, diabetes, previous stroke (CHADS2) and CHA2DS2–vascular disease, age 65–74 years, sex category (CHA2DS2–VASc) scores can predict new-onset AF and/or ischemic stroke in patients presenting with arrhythmic symptoms.
Methods and results
We prospectively followed up 528 patients (68.5 ± 10.6 years, male 46.2 %) presented for assessment of arrhythmic symptoms but without any documented arrhythmia, including AF for development of new-onset AF and/or ischemic stroke. Their mean CHADS2 and CHA2DS2–VASc scores on presentation were 1.3 ± 1.3 and 2.3 ± 1.5, respectively. After 6.1 years, 89 patients (16.8 %, 2.77 per 100 patient-years) had documented AF, and 65 patients (12.3 %, 2.0 per 100 patient-years) suffered stroke. Both the CHADS2 (C statistic 0.63, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.58–0.67, P < 0.0001, optimal cutoff at 1) and CHA2DS2–VASc (C statistic 0.63, 95 % CI 0.59–0.67, P < 0.0001, optimal cutoff at 2) scores provided similar prediction for the new-onset AF. Similarly, CHADS2 (C statistic 0.69, 95 % CI 0.65–0.73, P < 0.0001, optimal cutoff at 2) and CHA2DS2–VASc (C statistic 0.69, 95 % CI 0.65–0.73, P < 0.0001, optimal cutoff at 2) have compatible efficacy for stroke prediction in this Chinese population.
The CHADS2 and CHA2DS2–VASc scores can be used in patients who presented with arrhythmic symptoms to identify those who are at risk with developing new-onset clinical AF and ischemic stroke for close clinical surveillance and early intervention.

My First Gay Experience.
Many people have their first gay experience completely mapped out. What I mean by that is that they know exactly what they are expecting to happen and how it will happen. I was different. My first gay experience happened completely unexpectedly. Up until the time I was 23 my love life had been spent with women, from the first disorganised fumblings, to the first sexual experience. My life seemed completely normal, whatever normal could be described as. At the moment my life changed I was single and not really looking for anything relationship wise. A bit of fun was always appreciated, but I wasn't intentionally looking for it, and the fun I eventually found was totally unexpected.
I had always had a lot of gay and lesbian friends and we'd always been able to get along with out ever having boundaries blurred at all. One cool autumn weekend we all went out for a drink. Down at the pub everything was as always, laughing and joking at all things that came up in conversation. As the night went on the beer flowed and lots of suggestive behaviour was being made between my friends. Since this was nothing new I laughed along with them and played along with my gay friends as they teased me, trying to convince me to experience them. This had always been a long standing joke between us all and everyone knew where they stood so it was always harmless. Closing time was fast arriving and the discussion moved to what to do next. The mention of a local gay club seemed to be favoured and this was normally where I would draw the line and leave them all to it, but that night was different. The week had been difficult at work and my resistance was low so it didn't take much for them to drag me to the club and eventually through the doors.
To be honest I had never been to a gay club and didn't know what to expect. The club was mainly aimed towards gay men but there were a few women, mostly lesbians, dotted around the club. From the moment I checked in my coat nervousness washed over me. I looked around and saw just how close a lot of the men were. Lots of couples cuddled up with each other, heads resting on shoulders, hands slipped in to back pockets. This was a sight I was not used to one little bit. My first move was to head straight to the bar to order a couple of drinks so I could stand at the side and not getting involved with anything that was going on around me. My friends were laughing and joking nearby but ultimately left me to myself, which I was more than pleased with.
As the night wore on I started to lose track of my friends and began to feel very uncomfortable. That was the moment when he walked up to me. He was similar in height but somewhat slimmer. The figure wore a tight fitting light blue top and dark coloured trousers. I looked at him as he moved closer and closer towards me. I looked around me to make sure there wasn't anyone else near me but there wasn't. He moved right up closer to me leaned into me his arm brushing my shoulder as he reached for the wall behind me.
"You look lonely!"
I could smell the faint hint of his aftershave as he leaned

Thunderbird 1.5 RC2 released, gets shinier
Ok so I lied: Thunderbird isn't really any shinier, I just thought that headline might make C.K. download it faster on his quest for a Mail replacement. But seriously, it sounds like they've made some significant updates with RC2, when I thought release clients were simply about squashing bugs. Amon...

-TW/RR installed 1/24/02. This service started out as excellent, but as they add subscribers, the service and customer support continually gets worse. Every outage in the past 9 years has been blamed on my end. Only once was it ever really on my end, when the county tree-trimmer cut the cable line.
-Note: Be warned and advised that this is a Brighthouse networks area; pretty much a monopoly with a monopolistic attitude. In the beginning customer service was great, but has continually deteriorated.
-First level techs are not knowledgeable and will never, ever admit to an outage problem. I suppose this is their way of trying to avoid issuing a credit. Often times they are borderline rude. They always blame your computer, so I say: reckon why all 5 of my computers went bad at the same time? Duh...then they hunt something else to blame on the customer.
Brighthouse has typical standard responses and if you use a router, they will always blame it for any and every problem, count on having to disconnect it and prove it's not the router. Then if you beg an escalation to level 2, count on long hold times and disconnects, phony sympathy and possibly repeating the entire process.
If the line is down, in-house service will never admit that. They merely schedule a 3-5 day later service call. When the tech finally shows up and you tell them that their problem line came back on after a few hours or days last week, you get to sign their service-call ticket anyway. Me thinks they do this to avoid issuing a credit. What a waste of time and money.
My latency has always been high for 9 years now. It used to run around 80-110 average (monitored). But for the past year the latency has been a steady ( 95 ) with frequent connection losses, but of course they say nothing is wrong...grrrrrr.
-Brighthouse "here" always lags the country in speed updates. The national Tlme Warner cap was published at 8000/512 in 2007. In 2012, I still get more like 6,000/384. My Tcp/ip stack receive window is tweaked at 75,920. Now there advertising 21mb for DL speeds, yeah right !! I'm still getting the same old 5 or 6.
- A free month for customer referral is BS, don't fall for it. Played that game twice and they developed amnesia, even after the installer recorded the referee's (my) name and address on the new subscribers signed ticket.
-IP is dynamic, but seems to re-license the same IP for about 3 month periods.
-These people can't even keep their billing straight. How could anyone suddenly screw-up "direct bill pay through the bank" that has existed for several months?? Only Brighthouse could manage that.
-This customer support service compares to the arrogance of AOL during it's glory days of dial-up.
-My only other choice here was satellite, but I understand that AT&T-DSL is available this year. Now that I possibly have an option, that arrogant customer service may push me into switching carriers.
-Update 2-6-13. Well, they finally increased the speed slightly to 8,000/1,000, but I understand they're increasing the price by 5%. Whoopy, diddle. Update 12-9-14, at least my monitored latency has improved from 95 to 65, if it stays that way.

BrightHouse, A winner at what?
Constant issues with service delivery including TV, phone, and internet. Their ISP RoadRunner is severely lacking in area of customer respect, and knowledge. Service calls, too often used as a means of avoiding assisting customers, have excessive scheduling delays and most times result in nothing worthwhile until you get a service manager, and lead technician involved.
A few years back we were constantly being disconnected from service by Bright House. This occurred after our county 911 service reassigned street addresses in our neighborhood. 911 made a mistake and issued the same address to several different physical locations. We had 911 contact Bright House to explain the problem, via official E-Mail, and Bright House insisted that they would need their people to verify this information but made no valid attempt to get things moving. After contacting county commissioners, and local media, they changed their tune but continued to insisted on sending people out to verify what government had already told them -> "Addresses were initially assigned incorrectly". This took over 6 months, county commissioners, media involvement, and escalation to the V.P. of field service, to receive resolution. Not a single we are sorry for the interruptions was offered by Bright House.
As time marches on technology will catch up with this bunch and consumers will see more choices available. Choices which are as good and better than what Bright House and Road Runner offers. Many of Bright House services are currently outdated by competition and governments are beginning to re-visit the sole source agreements they have with this company that relies on its monopolistic existance to survive.
Bright House falls into the same classification as Bank of America in our household. A severely greed based company lacking in ethics. Like BOA, Bright House will also pay the piper, in one form or another!

Customer reviews
Different, but very good, multiplayer game.
Furrek | Jan. 14, 2015 | See all Furrek's reviews »This is my review for this game on Steam platform: http://steamcommunity.com/id/furrek/recommended/209080 I don't remember when I have played some multiplayer game that is so unique. It's not simply team-based game that you are just scoring by killing enemy but the key to victory is teamwork. Destroying enemy is also important but in order to do so teamwork is necessary. You are one of 4 crew ship member and you playing as pilot, gunner or engineer. It's not like these are locked classes, but you are able to choose what you want to do and what you are good at. What's even more amazing is how great community in Guns of Icarus Online is. Even with low level players, everybody tries to do their best in order to win. I'm not big fan of steampunk and to be honest I had hard time trying to play this game, at first it looked "meh" but I don't regret it, once I tried and I really like this game. It's nothing like any FPS games, MOBA or other genre that are avaible. Guns of Icarus Online is truly unique as multiplayer game.
First game to use steampunk right
cameronb | Dec. 26, 2014 | See all cameronb's reviews »It's a fun multiplayer game that forces you to actually work together. It is solid game, and I've had some great times while playing for an embarrassingly small amount of time. The strategy and class system is well made, and the game never feels unfair. I would have loved to see boarding, but the developers gave their reasons not to, so this doesn't feel like and oversight. It could do with more story, maps, and variety in general, so it's not going to be my next 100-hour game, but it shows promise.
teamwork is key
shadowsclaw | Oct. 27, 2014 | See all shadowsclaw's reviews »This game is all about teamwork. If you don't work together, you're doomed. These kind of games I like a lot. You have to work together and communicate with your crew to be able to destroy other ships, so a mic is recommended.
Great team game
884okeoJ | July 1, 2014 | See all 884okeoJ's reviews »Guns of Icarus is a fun and strategic game that is one of the most unique experiences on the PC right now. The game places a heavy focus on teamwork, so being on a ship with your friends while talking over Skype is the best possible way to play Guns of Icarus. However, playing with random people online can be quite aggravating, as it is harder to communicate and function as a team.
This focus on teamwork is a good and bad thing. On the plus side, it helps the game shine when everyone is cooperating.However, it also makes it a slog to play with people you don't know. The graphics are average and the soundtrack is fairly good, but for Guns of Icarus, a gameplay-focused game, those two aspects are relatively unimportant. If you're someone who has other friends to play with, Guns of Icarus is a must-buy.
Why aren't there more games like these?
Sinum | May 5, 2014 | See all Sinum's reviews »Guns of Icarus Online is...well, pure awesomeness!
In GOIO, you can choose to take the wheel as the pilot (and more often than not commander), engineer or gunner. Due to the nature of GOIO, teamwork is important, and this is where the game devs got you covered! First off, they have a built in voice chat function, you press X to chat to your crew (4 people including you), and if you are a captain, press C to chat to your fellow captains. The devs are friendly and the playerbase will generally help you out! Adding onto that, graphics-wise it is made well too. This being a steampunk game, you get a nice filter in the gameplay (as if though it was filmed with an old-fashioned camera) this filter however, is barely noticeable. Sound design is fantastic and fits right in, and last but not least, EVERYONE IS FRIENDLY (almost)! The devs and community ambassadors will gladly assist you in-game and some players will even stick with you for a while. GOIO has a form of microtransactions, however these are entirely cosmetic and give no benefits to the game other than you looking like a bad-ass. Last thing I felt like I had to add, was that in GOIO, your ships are entirely customisable and range from a bunch of classes (my personal favorite being the pyramidion). Additionally, you can customize guns on your ship in the form of loadouts while customization for your character ranges from changing colors with dye you can either buy or gain by leveling up classes to gender, name and class (which you can switch between).
I think that ought to be all, this is my first review, so please do not slaughter me over it (also English isn't my first language)
All-in-all, the game is amazing, get it, play it, and last but not least: WATCH OUT FOR THAT PYRAMIDION, IT'S RAMMING US!

4. Reliability
Hackers combine expertise, virtual currency and their reputation to form partnerships, say security experts. Cisco Systems recently highlighted the increasing sophistication of hacker business models. Some of the ebb and flow of cybercriminal activity can be traced to changes in the global economy, the firm said. The firm tracked some cybercriminals brokering partnerships for parts of attack campaigns from using botnets to penetrate corporate networks, to data exfiltration and cracking encrypted passwords.
Digital currencies are not 100 percent reliable, but virtual currencies have strong built-in mechanisms, McAfee said. The researchers noted the peer-to-peer nature of Bitcoin's architecture in combination with cryptography to avoid a central authority for the currency.
As solution providers position themselves for growth, the pressure is on vendors and distributors to meet their partners' needs. Here CRN presents the 2015 Channel Chiefs, our annual look at the executives responsible for running channels at today's IT vendors.

NASA Awards Contract Modification For Support At Michoud Assembly Facility
WASHINGTON, March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA has signed a one-year contract option with Jacobs Technology, Inc., of New Orleans to continue manufacturing support and facilities operations at the agency's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO )
The one-year contract option begins on May 1. The contract is a performance-based, cost-plus-award-fee, mission services contract with an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) portion. With the exercise of Option 2, the mission services value increases by approximately $38 million, and the IDIQ potential maximum order value increases by $100 million for a new maximum potential contract value of approximately $477 million. The contract was awarded in May 2009.
The contract will support critical operations under way at Michoud to advance the nation's human spaceflight endeavors, including work on the Orion spacecraft and modifications to manufacture the core stage of NASA's Space Launch System rocket.
Michoud, managed and operated by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., is the agency's only large-scale advanced manufacturing facility -- a multi-tenant campus with 43 acres of advanced manufacturing space under one roof. A number of private companies and government projects take advantage of the facility's key capabilities, including large-envelope fiber placement equipment, friction stir welding systems, high-speed machining tools, material test labs and manufacturing infrastructure.

Saint Maximilian Maria Kolbe, O.F.M. Conv., (Polish: Maksymilian Maria Kolbe [maksɨˌmiljan ˌmarja ˈkɔlbɛ]; 8 January 1894 – 14 August 1941) was a Polish Conventual Franciscan friar, who volunteered to die in place of a stranger in the Nazi German death camp of Auschwitz, located in German-occupied Poland during World War II. Before his death he was very active in promoting the veneration of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, founding and supervising the monastery of Niepokalanów near Warsaw, operating a radio station, and founding or running several other organizations and publications.
Kolbe was canonized on 10 October 1982 by Pope John Paul II, and declared a martyr of charity. He is the patron saint of drug addicts, political prisoners, families, journalists, prisoners, and the pro-life movement.[2] John Paul II declared him "The Patron Saint of Our Difficult Century".[3]
Due to Kolbe's efforts to promote consecration and entrustment to Mary, he is known as the Apostle of Consecration to Mary.[4]
Future Saint Maximilian was born Raymund Kolbe on 8 January 1894 in Zduńska Wola, in the Kingdom of Poland, which was a part of the Russian Empire, the second son of weaver Julius Kolbe and midwife Maria Dabrowska.[5] His father was an ethnic German[6] and his mother was Polish. He had four brothers. Shortly after his birth his family moved to Pabianice.[5]
Kolbe's life was strongly influenced by a childhood vision of the Virgin Mary that he received in 1906 in Pabianice.[2] He later described this incident as follows:
That night I asked the Mother of God what was to become of me. Then she came to me holding two crowns, one white, the other red. She asked me if I was willing to accept either of these crowns. The white one meant that I should persevere in purity, and the red that I should become a martyr. I said that I would accept them both.[7]
In 1907, Kolbe and his elder brother Francis decided to join the Conventual Franciscans.[8] They enrolled at the Conventual Franciscan minor seminary in Lwów later that year. In 1910, Kolbe was allowed to enter the novitiate, where he was given the religious name Maximilian. He professed his first vows in 1911, and final vows in 1914,[2] adopting the additional name of Maria (Mary).[5]
Kolbe was sent to Rome in 1912, where he attended the Pontifical Gregorian University. He earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1915 there. From 1915 he continued his studies at the Pontifical University of St. Bonaventure where he earned a doctorate in theology in 1919[5] or 1922[2] (sources vary). He was highly active in the consecration and entrustment to Mary During his time as a student, he witnessed vehement demonstrations against Popes St. Pius X and Benedict XV in Rome during an anniversary celebration by the Freemasons. According to Kolbe,
They placed the black standard of the "Giordano Brunisti" under the windows of the Vatican. On this standard the archangel, St. Michael, was depicted lying under the feet of the triumphant Lucifer. At the same time, countless pamphlets were distributed to the people in which the Holy Father (i.e., the Pope) was attacked shamefully.[9][10]
Soon afterward Kolbe organized the Militia Immaculata (Army of the Immaculate One), to work for conversion of sinners and enemies of the Catholic Church, specifically the Freemasons, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary.[2] So serious was Kolbe about this goal that he added to the Miraculous Medal prayer:
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. And for all those who do not have recourse to thee; especially the Masons and all those recommended to thee.[11]
The Immaculata friars utilized the most modern printing and administrative techniques in publishing catechetical and devotional tracts, a daily newspaper with a circulation of 230,000 and a monthly magazine with a circulation of over one million. Kolbe also used radio to spread his Catholic faith and to speak out against the atrocities of the Nazi regime. He is the only canonized saint to have held an amateur radio license,[citation needed] with the call sign SP3RN.[12]
In 1918, Kolbe was ordained a priest.[13] In July 1919 he returned to the newly independent Poland,[2] where he was very active in promoting the veneration of the Immaculate Virgin Mary.[5] He was also strongly opposed to leftist - in particular, communist - movements.[5] From 1919 to 1921 he taught at the Kraków seminary.[2][5] Around that time, as well as earlier in Rome, he suffered from tuberculosis.[2][13] In 1922 he founded the monthly periodical Rycerz Niepokalanej (Knight of the Immaculate),[2] a devotional publication based on French Le Messager du Coeur de Jesus (Messenger of Jesus' Heart).[5] From 1922 to 1926 he operated a religious publishing press in Grodno.[5] As his activities grew in scope, in 1927 he founded a new Conventual Franciscan monastery at Niepokalanów near Warsaw, which became a major religious publishing center.[2][13][5] A junior seminary was opened there two years later.[2]
Between 1930 and 1936, Kolbe undertook a series of missions to East Asia.[5] At first, he arrived in Shanghai, China, but failed to gather a following there.[5] Next, he moved to Japan, where by 1931 he founded a monastery at the outskirts of Nagasaki (it later gained a novitiate and a seminary) and started publishing a Japanese edition of the Knight... (Seibo no Kishi).[2][13][5] The monastery he founded remains prominent in the Roman Catholic Church in Japan.[2] Kolbe decided to build the monastery on a mountainside that, according to Shinto beliefs, was not the side best suited to be in harmony with nature. When the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Kolbe's monastery was saved because the other side of the mountain took the main force of the blast.[14] In mid-1932 he left Japan for Malabar, India, where he founded another monastery; this one however closed after a while.[2] Meanwhile, the monastery at Niepokalanów began in his absence to publish the daily newspaper, Mały Dziennik (The Little Daily), in alliance with the political group, the National Radical Camp (Obóz Narodowo Radykalny).[2][5]
Poor health forced Kolbe to return to Poland in 1936.[2] Two years later, in 1938, he started a radio station at Niepokalanów, the Radio Niepokalanów.[2][15]
After the outbreak of World War II, which started with the invasion of his country by Nazi Germany, Kolbe was one of the few brothers who remained in the monastery, where he organized a temporary hospital.[5] After the town was captured by the Germans he was briefly arrested by them on 19 September but released on 8 December.[2][5] He refused to sign the Deutsche Volksliste.[16] Upon his release he continued work at his monastery, where he and other monks provided shelter to refugees from Greater Poland, including 1,000-2,000 Jews whom he hid from Nazi persecution in their friary in Niepokalanów.[14][13][17][2][18][16] Kolbe also received permission to continue publishing religious works, though significantly reduced in scope.[16] The monastery thus continued to act as a publishing house, issuing a number of anti-Nazi publications.[2][13] On 17 February 1941, the monastery was shut down by the Nazi German authorities.[2] That day Kolbe and four others were arrested by the German Gestapo and imprisoned in the Pawiak prison.[2] On 28 May, he was transferred to Auschwitz as prisoner #16670.[19]
Continuing to act as a priest, Kolbe was subjected to cruel punishment, and had to be smuggled to a prison hospital by friendly inmates.[2][16] At the end of July 1941, three prisoners disappeared from the camp, prompting SS-Hauptsturmführer Karl Fritzsch, the deputy camp commander, to pick 10 men to be starved to death in an underground bunker in order to deter further escape attempts. When one of the selected men, Franciszek Gajowniczek, cried out, "My wife! My children!", Kolbe volunteered to take his place.[8]
According to an eye witness, an assistant janitor at that time, in his prison cell, Kolbe led the prisoners in prayer to our Lady. Each time the guards checked on him, he was standing or kneeling in the middle of the cell and looking calmly at those who entered. After two weeks of dehydration and starvation, only Kolbe remained alive. The guards wanted the bunker emptied and they gave Kolbe a lethal injection of carbolic acid. Kolbe is said to have raised his left arm and calmly waited for the deadly injection.[13] His remains were cremated on 15 August, the feast day of the Assumption of Mary.
On 12 May 1955 Kolbe was recognized as the Servant of God.[16] Kolbe was venerated by Pope Paul VI on 30 January 1969, beatified as a Confessor of the Faith by the same Pope in 1971 and canonized as a martyr by Pope John Paul II on 10 October 1982.[2] Upon canonization, the Pope declared St. Maximilian Kolbe not a confessor, but a martyr.[2] The miracle which was used to confirm his beatification was the July 1948 cure of intestinal tuberculosis in Angela Testoni, and in August 1950, the cure of calcification of the arteries/sclerosis of Francis Ranier was attributed to Kolbe's intercession.[2]
After his canonization, St. Maximilian Kolbe's feast day was added to the General Roman Calendar. He is one of ten 20th-century martyrs who are depicted in statues above the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey, London.[20]
Kolbe's recognition as a Christian martyr also created some controversy within the Catholic Church[21] in that, while his ultimate self-sacrifice of his life was most certainly saintly and heroic, he was not killed strictly speaking out of odium fidei (hatred of the Catholic faith), but as the result of an act of Christian charity, which Pope Paul VI himself had recognized at his beatification by naming him a Confessor and giving him the unofficial title "martyr of charity". Pope John Paul II, however, when deciding to canonize him, overruled the commission he had established (which agreed with the earlier assessment of heroic charity), wishing to make the point that the systematic hatred of (whole categories of) humanity propagated by the Nazi regime was in itself inherently an act of hatred of religious (Christian) faith, meaning Kolbe's death equated to martyrdom.[21]
Kolbe has also been accused of anti-Semitism based on the content of these newspapers, as they printed articles about topics such as a Zionist plot for world domination.[22][23][24] Slovenian sociologist Slavoj Zizek criticized Kolbe's activities as "writing and organizing mass propaganda for the Catholic Church, with a clear anti-Semitic and anti-Masonic edge."[25][23] However, a number of writers pointed out that the "Jewish question played a very minor role in Kolbe's thought and work".[26][23][23] On those grounds allegations of Kolbe's anti-semitism have been denounced by Holocaust scholars Daniel L. Schlafly Jr. and Warren Green, among others.[23] During World War II Kolbe's monastery at Niepokalanów sheltered Jewish refugees,[23] and, according to a testimony of a local: "When Jews came to me asking for a piece of bread, I asked Father Maximilian if I could give it to them in good conscience, and he answered me, 'Yes, it is necessary to do this because all men are our brothers.'"[26][18] Nonetheless Kolbe has been "often vilified in Jewish literature as an avowed anti-Semite", despite "hundreds of testimonials of gratitude for the assistance... several from the survivors of the Polish Jewish community".[18] Kolbe's alleged antisemitism was a source of the controversy in the 1980s in the aftermath of his canonization.[27] As of 2014, Kolbe has still not been recognized as Righteous Among the Nations.[28]
First-class relics of Kolbe are hairs from his head and beard, preserved without his knowledge by two friars at Niepokalanów who served as barbers in his friary between 1930 and 1941.[29] Since his beatification in 1971, more than 1,000 such relics have been distributed around the world for public veneration.[29] Second-class relics such as his personal effects, clothing and liturgical vestments, are preserved in his monastery cell and in a chapel at Niepokalanów, and may be viewed by visitors.[29]
Kolbe's influence has found fertile ground in his own Order of Conventual Franciscan friars, in the form of continued existence of the Militia Immaculatae movement.[30] In recent years new religious and secular institutes have been founded, inspired from this spiritual way. Among these the Missionaries of the Immaculate Mary - Father Kolbe, the Franciscan Friars of Mary Immaculate, and a parallel congregation of Religious Sisters, and others. The Franciscan Friars of Mary Immaculate are even taught basic Polish so they can sing the traditional hymns sung by Kolbe, in the saint's native tongue.[31] According to the friars,
"Our patron, St. Maximilian Kolbe, inspires us with his unique Mariology and apostolic mission, which is to bring all souls to the Sacred Heart of Christ through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Christ's most pure, efficient, and holy instrument of evangelization – especially those most estranged from the Church."[31]
Kolbe's views into Marian theology echo today through their influence on Vatican II.[2] His image may be found in churches across Europe.[20] Several churches in Poland are under his patronage, such as the Santctuary of Saint Maxymilian in Zduńska Wola or the Church of Saint Maxymilian Kolbe in Szczecin.[32][33] A museum, Museum of St. Maximilian Kolbe "There was a Man", was opened in Niepokalanów in 1998.[34]
In 1963 Rolf Hochhuth published a play significantly influenced by Kolbe's life and dedicated to him, The Deputy.[16]
In 2000, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (U.S.) designated Marytown, home to a community of Conventual Franciscan friars, as the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe. Marytown is located in Libertyville, Illinois, and also features the Kolbe Holocaust Exhibit.[35]
Polish Senate declared the year 2011 to be the year of Maximilian Kolbe.[36]
Kolbe composed the Immaculata prayer as a prayer of consecration to the Immaculata, i.e. the immaculately conceived Virgin Mary.[37]

What happened is that I (by mistake) saved a dictionary with the command numpy.save()
(no error messages shown) and now I need to recover the data in the dictionary. When I load it with numpy.load()
it has type (numpy.ndarray
) and is 0-d, so it is not a dictionary any more and I can't access the data in it, 0-d arrays are not index-able so doing something like
mydict = numpy.load('mydict')
doesn't work. I also tried
recdict = dict(mydict)
but that didn't work either.
Why numpy didn't warn me when I saved the dictionary with numpy.save()
Is there a way to recover the data?
Thanks in advance!

For the last 60 years, Scovotti & Company, Inc. has been a household name for Bronxites and this year while celebrating its milestone anniversary, the local insurance and real estate firm will also celebrate an expansion of services.
Founded in 1947 by brothers Anthony and Louis Scovotti, the Pelham Bay agency has undergone four major expansions since, growing from 200 to 3,000 square feet.
Still, six decades later, Scovotti remains in their original location at 1717 Crosby Avenue, between Roberts and Westchester avenues.
And business has grown a bit over the years, too. Today, Scovotti is the largest insurance agent in the Bronx with over 3,000 clients and 15 staff members.
This November, current owners Anthony and Chris Scovotti, sons of the late-Anthony Scovotti, underwent another expansion, though not physical.
Through an alliance with John G. Madden Insurance, formerly based at 3515 E. Tremont Avenue, Scovotti has added about 500 insurance clients to its register.
The alliance came when Madden decided to semi-retire but wanted to make sure his clients would be treated with the same, dedicated service.

Have You Tried: Kefir?
by Dana Angelo White in Have You Tried, March 10, 2012A "cultured milk product" may sound foreign, but if you've ever eaten yogurt, you're closer to kefir than you thought. Find out what makes it just a little more special.
What Is Kefir?
Kefir has the mild tang of yogurt, only with a thinner and more drinkable consistency. Plain is the traditional variety but its increasing popularity has caused manufacturers to produce flavors like cherry, strawberry, chocolate, cappuccino and pomegranate. Low-carb flavors are also available but are sweetened with artificial sweeteners.
Kefir is available in non-fat, low-fat and whole milk forms. Brands such as Lifeway also offer frozen, scoop-able versions, with a texture similar to frozen yogurt.
Healthy Attributes
One cup of low-fat, plain kefir has 110 calories, 2 grams of fat, 12 grams of carbs and 11 grams of protein. It's comparable to milk in the calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin D department but does contain more iron than milk – 30 percent of your daily needs per cup (milk has 1%).
Kefir is perhaps most well known for its digestion-promoting healthy bacteria known as probiotics. Regular ingestion of these "healthy bacteria" help to keep a balanced environment in the intestines, which can help with regularity.
Yogurt is also a good source of probiotics but kefir tends to have more per serving and its thinner consistency is often easier to digest.
5 Ways to Love Kefir
- Make a creamy low fat salad dressing
- Blend into a smoothie
- Use in place of buttermilk when baking
- Swap out yogurt for kefir in your favorite frozen yogurt recipe
- Toss with shredded cabbage, carrot, cider vinegar and celery salt for a tangy coleslaw

Given the way things are going these days in our society, I feel it is time for me to start carrying. IWB or OWB will not be an option for me as I feel I would probably just end up leaving it at home or in the truck. So, I will be looking at a Pocket Grabber type holster and either a .380 or sub 9mm. I'm interested to know what others are using for pocket carry. Thank you,

Thanks Ray
I don't currently pocket carry so please take this with a grain of salt. The Ruger LCP is a very popular choice. I have a small amount of trigger time on the one my mother-in-law owns, and I didn't like it. Snappy because it's so light, hard to cycle the slide (maybe hers just wasn't broken in very well), and just generally not a pleasant shooter. However its size lends itself very well to pocket carry. I have been tempted despite not having a pleasant shooting experience. Another popular choice is the Kahr. I shot one of their subcompact 9mm's and it hurt the webbing of my hand between the thumb and forefinger, after less than 50 rounds. However, I personally greatly prefer the Kahr over the LCP. The trigger was nicer and the slide was easier to manipulate. There are many options that fill this niche nowadays. Ruger LCP, LC380, LC9, S&W Bodyguard, Taurus makes some, the Kahrs, Sig P238, P938, Colt Mustang, even Glock has the model 42 now. I suggest going to a couple gun stores and holding as many as you can. When you find a couple that feel "right" in your hand, see if you can rent them to shoot. My choice would probably be the Sig P938, because I prefer 9mm over .380 and really like the feel of that gun. A little expensive though. Or maybe a Kahr in 9mm, because the Sig has a thumb safety that I'm not keen on. Oh another one is the S&W M&P Shield in 9mm. I wish that gun didn't have a thumb safety. I might already own one despite the fact that its a little bigger.
Always have clean socks.
Thanks JW357 I'm leaning towards something small enough for comfortable pocket carry. I already have a pr of nice 9mm to take to the range and my CC will be for self defense only. With that said, I am not closed to a sub-compact 9 if it is small enough to pocket.
Why is pocket carry the only option you are considering? (just curious) I hate the trigger and shooting an LCP, but a guy at work had replaced the trigger and some other part, which made the trigger MUCH better. And he added a Hogue slip on grip, made the gun feel a lot better. With summer coming I am also looking at a smaller gun for occasional pocket carry. @JW a few mins with a dremel tool and a dab of black paint and the safety on the Shield is no longer a problem.
A Glock 26 in a Galco King Tut is awfully comfortable. People seem to really like the Baby Glock. With a small Pearce grip extension it's got a good feel to it. Sent from my iPhone using Firearms Talk

I found this on an HP forum:-
1.Right-click on "Computer" icon and select manage. 2.This will launch the Microsoft Management Console. 3.On the left side of the MMC, click on "Disk Management" and it will show you all of the partitions. 4.Right-click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Active Partition." 5.When the warning prompt appears, select "Yes" - Reboot and it will automatically boot into the Recovery Manager (without pressing F11).

By Sandy Cohen, AP Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES Tony Award winner Marissa Jaret Winokur won't be adding a mirrorball trophy to her collection of prizes -- the actress was eliminated Tuesday from "Dancing With the Stars."
She and her professional partner, Tony Dovolani, came into the semifinal results show in last place, with 52 points out of 60. The couple divided the judges Monday with their quickstep and rumba, earning 26 points for each performance. Judges' scores are combined with viewer votes to determine which couple is eliminated each week. Winokur, who has worn a glowing smile throughout the competition, kept grinning even after she learned her fate. "I've never felt sexier in my life. Just going through this ride, I feel like I can pretty much do anything," said the full-figured Winokur, adding that she "wanted to prove to people that you don't have to be a size zero to dance." "I want everyone to go out and do something fun," she said as the credits rolled on the ABC dance-off. "Do something that makes you feel sexy and shake what your mama gave you." Tuesday's show also featured a tribute to Michael Jackson's "Thriller," with Omarion singing a medley of hits from the 1980s album as dozens of dancers performed some of Jackson's signature moves. The show's tiniest competitors, the ballroom kids, also returned to dance floor. One of three preteen couples will be crowned junior champions during next week's season finale. Usher is set to perform on the final show, as are the celebrity dancers who've been eliminated during this season's competition: Mario, Marlee Matlin, Priscilla Presley, Adam Carolla, Steve Guttenberg, Monica Seles and Penn Jillette. Finalists Jason Taylor, Kristi Yamaguchi and Cristian de la Fuente will do their last dances Monday, and one will be named season champ on Tuesday. ___ ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. ___ Copyright 2008 The Associated Press.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israel's largest fortified emergency room will be fully operational in two months.
A fortified emergency room is designed to protect patients and staff against conventional and chemical war, realities the Jewish state faces on a day-to-day basis.
At inauguration ceremonies at Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikvah, CEO Dr. Eran Halpern said he's "proud to inaugurate the first ER of its kind in Israel," YNet reported.
The nearly 60,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility features individual patient rooms and private offices for specialists, psychologists and social workers to provide services for patients' families. It also includes on-site X-ray, CT scan and ultrasound facilities.
"The new ER allows each patient to receive personal attention, quietly, calmly and privately, while maintaining and advancing quality, safety and infection control in the best way possible," Rabin Medical Center Deputy Director Dr. Boaz Tadmor said.
The new facility, which cost an estimated $26 million, will be able to treat 200,000 patients annually.
