An article in the newly published book Digital Simulations for Improving Education: Learning Through Artificial Teaching Environments (IGI Global, 2009) discusses at length the potential for imparting and exploring ethics in the classroom using digital games.
"Using Digital Games to Develop Ethical Teachers," by Columbia University professors Karen Schrier and Charles K. Kinzer, also sets forth recommendations for creating future games and simulations that teach ethics to educators using case studies of current commercial and explicitly educational digital games.
Schrier and Kinzer have said that while digital offerings that enable deep exploration are currently limited, they hope that their research will motivate the conception and design of appropriate learning environments for the development of ethical teachers.

Paramount Packing: Top 5 Items Brits Can't Leave Behind
LONDON, February 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
A recent survey by Thomas Cook ' s partners, The Co-operative Travel , reveals the all-important essentials that always have a home in Briti sh suitcases.
The results from 2,000 participants tell us that although some new gadgets have forced their way on to the Top 5, some things never change.
So in reverse order...
5 The nation's favourite - tea bags Despite the growing perks of package holidays, there's one necessity that the Brits can't live without - a proper brew. 31% of respondents said that they take tea bags with them when they go on holiday. It seems that there's only one way to wake up to the sunshine and anything else just won't do. 4 Got to look good - hair straighteners Everyone's familiar with the term 'beach hair' - and beach hair is fine for the beach - but when the daytime fun is done and it's time to go out for the evening, people want to look as good as they do when they have all of their home comforts at hand. The easiest way to tame wild hair is with a good pair of straighteners and 31% of Brits appear to agree. They are just as important as the calming cuppa. 3 Hung out to dry - a towel When living it up on cheap holidays abroad, the British like to avoid embarrassment at any cost. What could be more embarrassing then stepping out of the shower and realising there's no towel in sight? Whether for the apartment or the beach, 44% of respondents said that they wouldn't leave home without one. 2 Keep in touch - tablet/smartphoneCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Safety needle
NovoFine® Autocover® is designed to reduce needlestick injuries
NovoFine® Autocover® stops needle re-use
Designed to reduce risk of cross-infection
- NovoFine® Autocover® has a shield that locks in place automatically after use, preventing the needle from being used more than once.
Reduces inflammation and tissue damage
- Re-use of a dull or damaged needle may increase the sensation of pain and can cause inflammation and tissue damage as needles loose their original sharpness; the smooth silicone coating may be gone, and the tip may be bent.
- By preventing needle re-use, NovoFine® Autocover® may help avoid these potential problems.

New Details: Lindale horses recovering after being starved
POSTED: Thursday, December 16, 2010 - 3:24pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - 9:38am
LINDALE --- Horses are recovering after being starved by their Lindale breeder. The SPCA along with Smith County deputies took the 43 horses from their owner Wednesday after a six-month investigation.
SPCA officials say A neighbor's tip lead authorities to the ranch where they also found skeletal remains of other horses.
Rescue workers say the animals were initially startled to be taken. Two of the horses are pregnant. Some still are not strong enough to stand.
They are now eating and drinking water properly at stables provided by the Humane Society of the U.S. They'll be evaluated and treated then put up for adoption.
The owner is facing civil charges in connection to the case.
To find out about adoptions and donations, visit the SPCA of East Texas.

To be sure animal cruelty is wrong and should not be tolerated. There is, however, an ultimately greater cruelty--The cruelty toward the millions of unborn human babies in their infinitely unnecessary and murderous slaughter!-- solely for the purpose of convenience and irresponsibility!

I have been driving for about 13 years now and I have seen alot.
One time while turning into a mall parking lot I was hit by an oncoming car because I couldn't see them because of other traffic. lucky it was a minor scratch on the bumper and both of us were alright.
Ooo and LA people can't drive. I have almost been in several accidents out here on the 405 freeway because people either don't use a signal and cut into your lane last minute. I have seen several accidents when its rains and someone thought they were speed racer sigh.
And another time I was behind a drunk driver while coming back from Austin in Texas. The guy was weaving all over the place and I couldn't pass him so slow driving all the way home. Lucky he didn't hit any on coming traffic.
The worse is cell phone people who don't pay attention when driving and almost run over anyone in the way. Can we say don't use the phone while driving or go buy a head piece sheesh.

Code officers remove 92 illegal signs, most on Corpus Christi's Southside
CORPUS CHRISTI - Corpus Christi code enforcement officials are continuing to crackdown on signs nailed to light posts or placed in the right of way along the side of the road — a violation of city code.
Officers removed 92 illegal signs during their weekly sweep, according to a city news release.
Most of the illegal signs were for garage sales and located on the city's Southside. Officers handed out 54 citations, along with 19 warnings. Last week officers issued four citations, gave 33 warnings, and removed 45 illegal signs. Since the program started earlier this month, code enforcement officers have issued 170 citations, given 95 warnings, and removed 350 illegal signs, the news release stated.
Under the city's municipal code, public signs are required to have a building permit. The number, size and height of signs are controlled by zoning ordinances. Officers are scouring their assigned areas each week looking for illegally placed signs. The officers will be out again next Monday, according to the news release.

They're supposed to look like Valentines you used to give/receive in grade school. They're like those but for adult Sunny fans.

@ChiRep-1 I can't tell if they're supposed to be bad or good. Either way, they're memes in disguise. Only fans would get the references though.

The dissolving medium in a solution is called a solvent, and the substance being dissolved is called the solute. Several factors can influence the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent. For example, increasing the surface area of a solute speeds dissolving. Crushing or pulverizing a large solid into smaller pieces exposes more surface area to the solvent. In this activity you will see how surface area affects the rate at which candy dissolves in your mouth.
Three after-dinner mints (small size)
Clock or watch with a second hand
Paper towel
- Place an after-dinner mint in your mouth and hold it there without chewing or moving the mint around. Use the second hand of the clock to time how long it takes the mint to completely dissolve. Record the time.
- Place a second mint in your mouth. This time move your tongue around, but do not chew the mint. Note how long it takes for the mint to dissolve.
- Place a third mint in your mouth and chew it. Note how long it takes the mint to dissolve.
Follow-Up Questions
- How long did it take each mint to dissolve?
- Scientifically explain your results. Use the following words in your explanation: surface area, agitation, chewing, solvent, solute, and solution.
- Answers will vary, but the mint that was chewed should have dissolved faster than the mint moved around with the tongue. The mint moved with the tongue should have dissolved faster than the mint just held in the mouth.
- Answers will vary, but students should indicate that agitation and chewing increase surface area of the mints. The solute was the mint, and the solvent was saliva in the mouth. The combination of the two formed a solution.
Do some research and list all the factors that affect the rate at which a solid dissolves in a liquid. Also research some factors that affect the rate at which a gas dissolves in a liquid.

FlickerWe follow to concur,we learn from abidance,a chain link from glory,to abuse all our vibrance.Ignorant to innocence,waste away from potential,but our actions still confirm,that things aren't sequential.We're a flicker to the whole,that our schemes will unravel,but just long enough,to put our face to the gravel.
THE CALIBER CONCEPTEvery time I stare into the vast void that is our immense sky, on any given day of my life, I shiver in joy at the remarkable memory lying unearthed in my subconscious, that there is a planet we could shape, where every existing inhabitant could no longer live in fear of their own kind, nor tremble from any other species, a planet where love is the easiest drug to find, and hatred joins the endeavors of the hardest.This would be a land where a pure jolting breath of air, sends us numb, and reeling with focus, where family, safety, and wisdom is the highest of priorities, and a greater intensity of simple inner drive would build a terrain of individuals that overcame their irrelevant differences to work towards a commonly reasonable goal of togetherness, creativity, responsibility, faith, and merriment, and remember the incredible amount of effort, blood, and tears, that it took our civilization to resurrect themselves in that magnificent journey, and by committing it to memory we can
The Character ChantI encourage.I tell.I learn.I yell.I guide.I give.I teach.I live.I shiver.I scream.I reach.I dream.I trust.I stand.I believe.I land.I laugh.I cry.I breathe.I die.I fall.I rise.I love a n dI fight b u tI never break.You see things aren't sequential, good doesn't lead to good, nor bad to bad. It's much more simple than that. The key is our choices.Believing more in the choices you make and less in the undecided.
Under the MoonlightWhen the sleepless nightsCome to call againAlongside thoughts of the fightsBut you still wonder when You wander outsideStill unsure of what changedBut now feelings collideFrom how suddenly they rearrangedYou see he's still thereLooking up to the moon,The sky everywhere but nowhereBut he's not leaving soonNight in and night outHe stands as the guardianYou didn't see all that he cared aboutBut he stayed to guard in obsidianQuiet and strongBut you still have to wonderDoes he always wait yonder?Were you really wrong?
Just Look UpEven from where I drift,that light which you call "Sun"is easily visible.I gaze into its eyes.Your eyes.Your eyes, as azure as ever.I remember every detail,every little aspectthat God required to make them.My comrades call me crazy.They just don't know where to look.They don't bother me though;I can see you, feel what you feelfrom the edge of the Milky Way.All I want is for your eyes to find mine.Just look up.
BlindRiver flow; leaves blow,The sun sets and grass grows.Then time froze,Like a broken violin string,It spiraled inward,Weren't we supposed to move forward?I take a breath, and spit out black.We've messed up; I guess that's a fact.Still, why do we wait?We pile the marbles into a sack,Until it over flows, out of our control,I escape to a forest,Beaten and tired.Away from the repression,Away from the greed,The murders, the lust,Geography has died,It's a lesson for us all.I close my eyes; and sigh,The scent of apples in the air,It's kind of hard to describe, I feel like a man who's blind,Amidst a billion colors,I feel like a man who'sblind,Amidst a billion colors,I smile, because I could still see the sun shine.Can we keep it like this?
what does it meanI was lacking sleep the other day and as I drifted in and out of a lucid state a voice whispered in my head "the shadow lighters, the red space spiders"
Keep It UpThere is always a wayWhether you are beat downOr simply on the verge of giving upThings have a way of shining through the darkI say never give up or lose hopeYou are going to die somedayUntil then keep it up
What if you never knew me?What if you never knew me, what if we never met? What would your life be like? Would it be wonderfully great, or full of deep regret?What if we didn't talk for that long night, when you were going through all that stress? Wouldyour night be so much better, or end up in greater, bigger mess?What if I never bumped into you on the street, just by chance like before? Would you have gave me the smile you did that day, or just sulk from your pain more and more?What if I never replied to your message, or even should back "Hello"? Would you still be on your high from that moment, or sink to an all time low?What if we never had dinner, and I walked you back to your home? Would you have had a goodtime, or would something happen when you were all alone?What if you never knew me, before I died and you went to my funeral and grave? Would you feel sorry and shed a tear, or just sigh and leave without saying even your name?What if you never knew me, what would my
Just Wait...You feel trapped insideThis prison cell.No one listens or cares-You're in hell.Taking it day by day,Barely hanging on.You're not a person,Just their pawn.You're on death row-Decaying and rotting.It's unbearable to take;Feeling your blood clotting.No one knows either,You're completely alone.No hope of rescue,You'll soon be their drone.There's this beautiful world,You long, so much, to see,But you're not permitted to leave,No matter how much you plea.Guards all around you,Keeping you their toy,And how their so good, too,Making sure you feel no joy.If only you could run away,Escape their mind games,Oh how wonderful that would be,Maybe even have your own aims.Yet you don't move,Not even to blink.You just sit expressionless,Only allowed to think.Oh but if only they had an idea,Of what's planned inside your head,They'd let you go right now,In utter fear and dread.They may have taken everything,Or so they're presuming,But the mind is so powerful,You'll s
my body's slave is my mind.it's barely summerbut i've forgotten how to breathe;i fall in love with strangersbefore they even speak.it's like i'mentangledwithin the pulsating crowdlike a fly trapped in a spider's web;questions are spunall around.inferiority screams in my ear& consumes all thoughtsuntil i can't hearall the questions that are caughtbetween threads of my insecurities,weaving around& aroundthe fabric of my being -tightening its gripwith everyone seeingmechoking.it's barely summerbut i can feelwinter's chill:each pump of my left ventricleis an exertion against will,& leaves me cripple& frozen, still -but feeling like i could runbefore you could catch me.i watch the moontrade places with the sun,racing against time,but my dayhas still not yetbegun.

Numb.I'm still alive.I see and hear.I feel my heartbeat but I don't
If We WereIf we were to break upYou wouldn't be my friendYou're familyAnd in my opinionThat's stronger than friendshipEven if our lives took usIn different directionsI'd always remember youI'd look back on the memory of you and think"He made me happy""He stuck by me during a difficult time in my life""He never judged me""Never insulted me""And always managed to put me in a good mood"I'd remember all the good timesAll the fun timesAnd I'll never stop loving you
Wonder Wonder ------- Did you ever find an answer, At the end of the night , Why people can't say sorry , Love is hard to fight . Did you ever start to wonder , At the breaking of the day , Why people hurt , the hurting , Love is hard to say . Did you ever ask the question , At the setting of the sun , Why people , they need people , Love cannot run .

UmbrellaheadsWe live in a city of smokestacks and umbrellaheads. A city split in two and turned upside down. A city dazed and unsteady on sixteen million feet, six feet under and darker than that. We live in a city that slept for the first time in nearly a century.A city of people confused and bemused and infused with "what can I what shall I what must I do now?" It's a city that's hurting and breathing and fishing and wishing and laughing and living and waiting to wake up.We live in a state of huddling and listening. Watching as the resilient basketball hoop in the driveway snaps in two as the trees behind dance in an insane tango, a physically improbable tango. We live in a state of blank traffic lights and trees flung like toys, leaves upside down and begging to be relieved of the shame of having fallen. We live in a state of emergency.A state of people who exasperate and exaggerate and desperate to reach their families with no phone no internet no communication no no no. It's a state with th

Want to know what's in your Labor Day weekend forecast? Top astrologer Kelli Fox has your horoscope for this end-of-summer holiday...
This Labor Day weekend, be prepared for an impassioned journey!
On Friday, Aug. 31, we'll have a rare "Blue Moon" – that is, a second Full Moon in a single calendar month. This Blue Moon is in Pisces, so it highlights your ability to be present with your feelings. Your empathy and compassion will add new meaning to social interactions, and you'll feel great joy if you spend time helping others. Music, spirituality and the arts are also emphasized at this time.
Mind planet Mercury moves into Virgo on Friday, which means you may be all about the details this weekend. The lesson will be to find a balance between the brass tacks and bigger picture. Figuring out what really matters in your life, and letting go of what doesn't, will also be important.
Take care on Saturday, when Mercury opposes nebulous Neptune. Communication snafus and misunderstandings may be par for the course. Fuzzy logic will rule.
As the weekend continues, patience will be tested and egos bruised when the Moon races through hot-headed Aries. On Sunday, as it hooks up with unpredictable Uranus and forms a square (a tension-producing 90-degree angle) to powerful Pluto, empathy and compassion may be thrown right out the window and replaced with a belligerent "me-first" attitude.
The best way to avoid getting into power plays with others is to have a plan of action – literally. Be sure to work up a sweat through hiking, biking, martial arts or anything else that gets the blood moving and pulse racing.
Physical undertakings are reinforced on Monday, when Mars, the ruler of the Aries Moon, creates a sextile (that is, a supportive and energetic 60-degree angle) to Pluto. Many of us will have extra helpings of stamina to burn.
Also on Monday, it'll be wise to not make money or love commitments, as romantic Venus forms a harsh square to serious Saturn. Decisions you make at this juncture could turn into an obligation or restriction later.
Not much will be accomplished when the work week begins on Tuesday and the Moon is Void-of-Course (that is, transiting from one sign to another). But that afternoon, when the Moon moves into practical and serious-minded Taurus, everyone's likely to get back on track.
Here is your Labor Day weekend horoscope, according to your sign.
Labor Day weekend forecast: Aries
With the Moon in your sign all weekend, you'll have energy to burn and an amazing amount of stamina! Add unpredictable Uranus and powerful Pluto to the mix, and you've got a potent combination.
You may seem like a dictator to some, but your passion and courage will impress the rest.
Monday is your day to shine as your planetary ruler, Mars, forms an opportunistic sextile to Pluto. If you lead, others will follow.
Labor Day weekend forecast: Taurus
This is a time for socializing and networking. The Full Moon triggers your love and social sectors, so make plans for what could be a fun and fantastic weekend!
Your intuition will be strong, and you may have flashes of insight seemingly coming from nowhere, as both the Moon and Uranus awaken your subconscious mind. Pay attention to your dreams for clues, but take care with cocktail consumption. An unexpected reaction could have you wishing you didn't overindulge.
Labor Day weekend forecast: Gemini
Inviting friends over for a Labor Day weekend barbecue will be a great way to use the abundant celestial energy, but find a balance between home and work life. Friday's Full Moon triggers issues between these different areas.
On Monday, long-term commitments may test your patience as the love and money planet, Venus, forms a stressful square to limiting Saturn. If you've taken care of business, this influence won't be as challenging.
Labor Day weekend forecast: Cancer
This will be a passionate weekend for the Crab! You're more daring than usual, so make the most of it. Others respond to your love and nurturing, which is like ambrosia for your soul.
Your connections will run deep and strong. But try not to be too clingy on Monday, because a loved one may surprise you with unexpected news.
Oh, and be sure to tie up any loose ends at work
you start your weekend.
Labor Day weekend forecast: Leo
Money will be on your mind this weekend, Leo. You're usually generous, but Friday's Full Moon may have you counting pennies. Others may lean on you for a loan; if so, be sure to dot your i's and cross your t's.
The Moon will be navigating through your sector of adventure, so a trip may be just what's needed to recharge batteries. It's also a good excuse to get around any family issues bubbling below the surface.
Labor Day weekend forecast: Virgo
Your thoughts will be on relationships, and it's crucial to communicate your needs clearly. Mind planet Mercury moves into your sign on Friday, which means the cosmos is favoring intellectual discussions and level-headed thinking. This is a time when logic will triumph matters of the heart.
Your usually reserved nature will get a boost from passion planet Mars, which travels through your sector of intimacy this weekend. This means intensity and excitement are yours for the taking!
Labor Day weekend forecast: Libra
Expect the unexpected this weekend, especially when it comes to those nearest and dearest to you. With the emotional Moon and unpredictable Uranus marching through your sector of relationships, people may be full of surprises.
As mind planet Mercury influences your subconscious mind, pay attention to your intuition – it could provide valuable insight.
Your ruling planet, Venus, forms a harsh square to somber Saturn. All weekend party plans should be wrapped up by Monday, when the week takes a more serious tone.
Labor Day weekend forecast: Scorpio
This is your weekend to shine, Scorpio! All planetary cylinders are firing, which means you'll be rallying the troops and calling the shots. Others will be mesmerized by your wit and charm, so reach out to your social network for even more accolades. And remember to help others in need, which will augment your good karma.
Monday is your power day, because your two rulers, Mars and Pluto, create an auspicious sextile. Yes, you're definitely turbo-charged!
Labor Day weekend forecast: Sagittarius
While normally fun-loving, you'll be in a more serious frame of mind. Your work may demand that you spend some time focused on facts and figures rather than partying. You'll need to focus, because getting down to the nitty-gritty isn't one of the Archer's strong points.
The good news? The Moon will eventually kick up her heels in your sector of fun. The best way to tackle this Labor Day weekend is to deal with your responsibilities first, and then a good time can be had by all!
Labor Day weekend forecast: Capricorn
For hard-working Capricorn, this is a fortuitous time for a weekend getaway. The Full Moon illuminates travel, but in a carefree, easy-going way. Try not to stick with an itinerary; just see where the Universe takes you. That may be hard for someone who usually values planning, but letting loose – just this once – will be a great way to unwind.
The invigorating change of scenery will help you cut loose from home and family obligations too.
Labor Day weekend forecast: Aquarius
Money matters will be on your mind as the Full Moon activates your financial sectors. Paying close attention to the bottom line will be pivotal to creating the outcome you want. Also, be clear with others about your intentions, and there won't be emotional messes to deal with later.
Communication will be a core aspect of your weekend, as the Moon travels through this sector of your life. If you think before you speak, others will respond to your brilliance.
Labor Day weekend forecast: Pisces
Friday's Full Moon is in your sign, which means others' behavior will be like a mirror reflecting back to you. Be your usual loving self, and others will respond in kind.
Use your compassionate and sympathetic nature to help those in need. The ones closest to you will need a sympathetic ear and shoulder to cry on. Your loved ones may think you have the answer they seek – and perhaps, sweet Pisces, you do.

Closing arguments have ended in the murder trial of Paul Stark in Pueblo. The jury has gone home for the day and will return Friday morning to begin deliberations.
Stark is accused of killing Pueblo West teen Ashley Patterson back in March of 2009. Her body was found in a field. The trial started back on January 7th.

The new "guidelines" issued today by the Vatican that aim to make changes within the church regarding the handling of child sex abuse cases are misleading, toothless and timid. They are misleading because they are labeled as "changes" but in reality, as even Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi concedes, the guidelines are merely a disingenuous attempt to reinforce the current protocols, rather than make any fundamental changes to the norm. They are toothless because they give no new rules that require any meaningful change or any real action by church officials...
Today, Amnesty International issued its annual global report on the state of human rights and named the Vatican in its list of countries with human rights violations. In its report, Amnesty International specifically cited the Vatican for its failure to remove priests accused of sexual abuse from ministry, not co-operating with authorities, and not giving victims the proper relief, saying "The Holy See did not sufficiently comply with its international obligations relating to the protection of children."
On Wednesday our law firm filed a lawsuit in Chicago against the Vatican. The lawsuit is an attempt to hold Vatican officials accountable for their direct role in covering up the sexual abuse of children perpetrated by Fr. Daniel McCormack. Some wonder why we filed this suit. After all, didn't the Archdiocese of Chicago settle with this survivor?

Mostly agreed here. Look at the number of people who are happy (or not hating) windows, don't you guys think there is parts of it are *good* or at least worth learning from? I read all the follow-ups. Trust me, I am not new to those jokes on the stupidity in windows. I would like to ask: what is the purpose you guys retelling these jokes here? To make a good laugh? LOL, I laughed at them even I heard them before. But to use that to overwrite the merit of entire windows just doesn't make me feel comfortable. I believe, for some time now, your above statements are the reason that many linux developers avoid GUI, disregard the difficulty level. Because once they try to design a GUI, it always at some parts behave (if not looks) like windows, which make them loathe. Is it a fact that some developers think more about *not like windows* than what is a good UI? OK, what is a good UI anyway if intuitive is not one of its criteria? In my opinion, the quality of UI has to be user related, thus related to their UI experience (and I admit that is unfortunate). Samething as arts, which has to be enjoyed by people. Since they are experience related, different time has different standard of what is good. Van Gogh didn't make good painting at his time because there is too few people can enjoy it (well, even now, but definitely more people than his time). Let's ask whose art is better art, Van Gogh's or da vinci's? Do you judge from a vote, auction prices, experts evaluation, or your personal taste? The fact is: there is no standards. As long as there are people enjoy or appreciate it, it is a good art, and is people related. Now back to UI. There is nothing wrong that the linux community think windows is all junk, and there is nothing wrong that some people enjoy console more than anything else. I just don't think a system or software developed by this group of geniuses will ever be remotely as popular as windows --- at least not in this age. And don't get too serious on this thread ;-) -- Hui Zhou

This runner is a companion to an area carpet that I had also purchased.
I like them both so much, I am now considering purchasing another coordinated area carpet.

Color was different.
By Mary Jo E. from Kalamazoo, MI on Dec 17, 2013
Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
The color is more green in daylight and grey in artificial light, but not as green as the picture shows. The rug has a thick nap and is a beautiful design, but shows much better in natural light - even the flowers show better in natural light.

His Iranian father abandoned the family. The guy was a high school dropout who turned his life around, got his GED and went to junior college. He used his juco success to go to Oregon State. He then made the best of his talent, worked hard, and is a star in that offense. To this point, his name hasn't been brought up in connection with any of the Bengals' scandals; he doesn't seem to run with that crowd.
I'll overlook the fact that he looks like Richard Reid and that he plays for the Bengals and see a guy who has made himself a success. If he happened to get frustrated with a reporter and cussed him out, well, who wouldn't cuss out, say, Smizik? Every time I've heard Houshmanzadeh on ESPN Radio interviews he's been respectful and insightful.
I'd have him on my team in a minute. He might say that his team is the best, but you don't hear the "me" word. I'll go so far as to say that for him, playing for the Bengals is a curse; on any other team, he'd be a star. On the Steelers he'd be reborn.
Its one thing to think it......Its another thing to address it in poor taste to the media. Totally classless. And he has said these type of things time and time again.
Even T.O. has shown more class than that. You say you're going to stand up for the guy?? Shining his shoes with the Terrible Towel?? C'mon man. It is clear he does such things in a disrespectful way. Chad Johnson, on the other hand, is not disrespectful.
As for overcoming the adversities in his personal life, thats good for him. I'm happy to see he made the best of his opportunities. The problem with many of these "new age" athletes is that they are not taught how to handle success. They think they need to behave a certain way that is usually unacceptable by most. He needs to learn how to be humble before he gets humiliated.

Swindon 3-0 Leeds
Billy Paynter scored twice as in-form Swindon romped to a comfortable victory that leaves promotion hopefuls Leeds without a league win in three matches.Leeds, who have failed to replicate their fine cup form in the league recently, fell behind when Charlie Austin scored from Simon Ferry's pass. Lescinel Jean-Francois' swinging cross was then finished in style by Paynter. And the striker converted from the spot after Leeds keeper Casper Ankergren had pulled him back in the area.

I. CALL TO ORDER - Dr. Susan B. Shurin
Dr. Susan B. Shurin, Acting Director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), opened the meeting at 8:00 am and welcomed members to the 237th meeting of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory Council (NHLBAC).
II. VISION FOR THE NIH – Dr. Francis S. Collins
Dr. Francis S. Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), identified major opportunities for NIH investment and highlighted recent contributions of the NIH, and the NHLBI in particular, to biomedical research.
Dr. Collins thanked Dr. Shurin for her many contributions to the NIH, including her current activities as Acting Director of the NHLBI. He assured the Council that the search for a permanent Director of the NHLBI is underway and that he will be involved personally in the process.
Dr. Collins discussed five areas of special opportunities for the NIH (see "Research Agenda: Opportunities for Research and NIH" by Dr. Collins in Science, 1 January 2010: 36-37):
- High-throughput technologies
- Translational medicine
- Benefiting health care reform
- Focusing more on global health
- Reinvigorating and empowering the biomedical research community
Dr. Collins noted that the FY 2010 final NIH budget of $30.988 billion includes about $26.0 billion in spending outside the NIH. He expressed his appreciation for the President's FY 2011 budget request which seeks an increase of $1 billion over the FY 2010 budget level.
As the steward of medical and behavioral research for the nation, the NIH contributes by:
- Advancing knowledge through basic research — Dr. Collins emphasized the importance of investigator-initiated research, the bedrock of biomedical advances. He highlighted a recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) supported in part by the NHLBI that has increased understanding about fetal hemoglobin expression and may lead to a new therapeutic intervention for sickle cell disease (see Science, 19 December 2008: 1839-1842).
- Using discoveries to improve health — Dr. Collins presented statistics illustrating the benefits of biomedical and public health advances, and noted the results of the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes (BARI 2D) Trial (funded by the NHLBI, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disorders [NIDDK], and industry), which used a comparative effectiveness approach to compare treatment strategies for patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (see NEJM, June 11, 2009: 2503-2515).
- Benefiting the economy — Dr. Collins cited estimates that each $1.00 of NIH funding generates $2.21 in state economic output in one year, and that each NIH grant generates seven jobs. He summarized ways in which the NIH is spending the $10.4 billion provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), and reported that 50,000 jobs over 2 years are estimated to have been created and/or maintained due to NIH ARRA investments.
- Ensuring the future — The NIH is investing in transformative ideas (for example, via the Transformative R01 mechanism) and innovative researchers (for example, via the NIH Director's Pioneer Award and the New Innovator Award). Dr. Collins noted a Transformative R01 project awarded by the NHLBI entitled "Regulatory Roles of Variable Mechanical Stimuli in Cell Function."
- Making the case for NIH — Outreach is essential for educating the nation about the importance of biomedical research and inspiring passion for science in the next generation. NHLBI outreach programs have been communicating research results and educational messages throughout the United States for many years.
III. REVIEW OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST - Dr. Susan B. Shurin
The Council was reminded that under Public Law 92-463, the Federal Advisory Committee Act, a portion of the meeting would be closed to the public, for the consideration of grant applications. A notice of this meeting was published in the Federal Register. Dr. Shurin also reminded the Council members that they are Special Government Employees and are subject to Departmental conduct regulations.
IV. REPORT OF THE ACTING DIRECTOR – Dr. Susan B. Shurin
Dr. Shurin paid tribute to Dr. Marshall Nirenberg who died January 15, 2010, by acknowledging his extraordinary contributions to biomedical science. While an investigator at the NIH, Dr. Nirenberg uncovered the RNA sequences that encode all 20 amino acids (the "building blocks" of proteins). He received a Nobel Prize for this work in 1968—the first NIH researcher and federal employee to receive the honor. Dr. Nirenberg helped set the stage for the genomic era of today. He remained an integral part of the NHLBI intramural program for 47 years.
Staff Update:
Dr. Shurin announced several leadership appointments within the NHLBI:
- Dr. Carl Roth - Acting Deputy Director, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
- Dr. Jodi Black - Deputy Director, Division of Extramural Research Activities
- Dr. Donna DiMichelle - Deputy Director, Division of Blood Diseases and Resources
- Ms. Sally McDonough - Director, Office of Communications
- Mr. James Schlicht - Legislative Liaison
- Dr. Denise Simons-Morton - Director, Division for the Application of Research Discoveries
Budget Update:
The NHLBI FY 2010 Conference budget (regular appropriations only) totals $3,096,916,000, a 2.7 percent increase over FY 2009. However, based on the Biomedical Research and Development Price Index (BRDPI), the FY 2010 budget increase is still below the level of inflation. Allocations among budgetary categories (e.g., research project grants, research centers, contracts) have remained stable from FY 2009 - FY 2010.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) Update:
The ARRA was signed into law by President Obama in February 2009. It provides $10.4 billion to the NIH (available for 2 years—through September 2010) to support programs to stimulate the economy, create and preserve jobs, and advance biomedical research.
Dr. Shurin reviewed the NHLBI FY 2009/FY 2010 ARRA funding plan. The Institute received $763 million in ARRA monies, most of which has been obligated or committed. The Institute's ARRA funding plan comprises approximately $292 million for expanding the payline for traditional research project grants (R01s) and exploratory/developmental research grants (R21s); $359 million for specific NIH-wide ARRA initiatives; $90 million for administrative supplements; and a limited amount for contracts and other mechanisms. A small number of potential ARRA research and training awards are pending review in FY 2010.
The NHLBI ARRA Web site summarizes the Institute's Recovery Act policies and investments, and includes illustrative stories about researchers' use of NHLBI Recovery Act funds. Dr. Shurin played a video (available on the Web site) featuring Dr. Deborah Nickerson, a key project leader on the ARRA-supported NHLBI Large-Scale DNA Sequencing Project, in which five academic institutions are working together to identify genetic connections to heart, lung, and blood diseases.
Comparative Effectiveness Research—NHLBI Involvement:
In the ARRA, Congress designated $1.1 billion for comparative effectiveness research (CER) with $400 million allocated to the NIH ($68 million of which is managed by the NHLBI). In June 2009, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) issued a report on national priorities for CER (see "Prioritizing Comparative-Effectiveness Research — IOM Recommendations" in NEJM 2009; 361:325-328). The NHLBI has primary responsibilities in three of the IOM's highest priority areas—Cardiovascular and Peripheral Vascular Disease; Oncology and Hematology; and Respiratory Disease—and supports CER research in these areas. Furthermore, the NHLBI has made major investments in the two areas of highest IOM priority—Health Care Delivery and Health Disparities.
FY 2010 R01 Payline:
Dr. Shurin updated the Council on the Institute's new funding policy regarding amendment status (see "Funding Guidelines" under FY 2010 Funding and Operating Guidelines on the NHLBI Web site). In order to fund meritorious science earlier, the NHLBI has adopted a new funding policy that decreases the need for investigators to submit revised applications. The Institute will develop separate lists ranking applications according to amendment status, resulting in comparable success rates for both unamended (A0) and amended (A1/A2) applications. As a result, paylines may differ by amendment status. Although the paylines may be updated throughout the year, the current FY 2010 percentile payline for competing R01s is 16.0 for initial applications; 12.0 for first amendments; and 10.0 for second amendments. (Note that the NIH is phasing out second amendments.)
Global Health Activities:
The NHLBI has established an Office of Global Health to provide leadership and coordination for its global health activities. The Institute has also joined with UnitedHealth Group to support Collaborating Centers of Excellence to combat non-communicable chronic cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases in developing countries. In addition, the NHLBI is a founding member of the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases, launched June 2009, which is the first collaboration of government research funding agencies to address the needs of chronic non-communicable diseases. Illnesses related to hypertension, tobacco use, and indoor air pollution from crude cooking stoves in developing countries are three priority areas of the Alliance.
V. BEYOND HEMATOLOGY, BEYOND 2010 – Dr. Neal S. Young
Dr. Neal S. Young, Chief, Hematology Branch, NHLBI Division of Intramural Research, reported on research progress in areas related to aplastic anemia and other bone marrow failure syndromes. He focused on three areas of opportunity in which he and other investigators have been involved:
- Pathophysiology and Treatment of Aplastic Anemia
- Telomere Diseases
- International Epidemiology and Teaching
Dr. Young also serves as Director of the Trans-NIH Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammation, the mission of which is to support cooperative research based on advanced technologies in order to translate enhanced understanding of immune function and pathophysiology to the clinic. Dr. Young summarized the Center's goals and progress made in its first fully-budgeted year.
VI. RESEARCHING RARE DISEASES – Dr. Stephen C. Groft
NIH Office of Rare Diseases Research, Collaborative Efforts
Dr. Stephen C. Groft, Director, NIH Office of Rare Diseases Research, briefed the Council on the mission and activities of the NIH Office of Rare Diseases Research (ORDR). Working with NIH Institutes/Centers (ICs), the ORDR coordinates and supports rare diseases research, responds to research opportunities for rare diseases, and provides information on rare diseases. It supports the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (together with NIH ICs), which comprises 19 consortia that work together to improve availability of rare disease information, treatment, clinical studies, and general awareness for patients and the medical community. Over a fifteen year period, the ORDR has supported numerous other research activities, including a long-term collaboration with the NIH ICs to support over 1,100 scientific conferences focused on rare disease research opportunities and priorities.
VII. Vascular Disorders: From Phenotype to Genotype to Disease Mechanism – Dr. Manfred Boehm
Dr. Manfred Boehm, Translational Medicine Branch, NHLBI Division of Intramural Research, presented research results on the vascular implications of several human genetic disorders. He discussed research on a newly identified rare vascular disease now known as Focal Artery and Joint Calcification in Adults disease, an autosomal recessive disorder of vascular calcification. Dr. Boehm also discussed research that led to increased understanding about two other rare diseases—Prolidase Deficiency and Job's Syndrome—which involve defective wound repair and tissue remodeling. Dr. Boehm suggested directions for further research in these areas.
VIII. ANNUAL REVIEW OF DELEGATED AUTHORITIES FROM THE NHLBAC – Dr. Stephen C. Mockrin
Delegated authorities allow NHLBI staff to perform specific functions without Council involvement, thereby adding flexibility and decreasing the burden on the Council. Dr. Mockrin reported that in FY 2009, the Institute undertook 12 actions (totaling $847,855) using its delegated authorities (excluding the expedited en bloc concurrence). The Council accepted the report and agreed to continue the current policy of Delegated Authorities.
This portion of the meeting was closed to the public in accordance with the determination that it concerned matters exempt from mandatory disclosure under Sections 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6), Title 5, U.S. Code and Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. appendix 2).
The Council considered 1,362 applications requesting $1,760,893,155 in total direct costs. The Council recommended 1,362 applications with total direct costs of $1,760,893,155.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:15 p.m. on February 2, 2010.

I had a couple of unusual stoppages during Tuesday Night Steel this week. The gun failed to go into battery, and a tap-rack failed to make things better. I cleared the jam but it cost me an otherwise good time on the stage. OK, it happens. But on the very next stage, dang if the same exact thing happened, this time tying the gun up worse.
I suspected the gun, but once I got home I chambered and ejected a few rounds and everything seemed fine. Then on the last round I tried, the slide didn't go into battery. When I popped the round out, I saw why. The bottom of the case was bulged - like the classic "Glock bulge" I've seen on .40s fired in Glocks, from the unsupported part of the chamber.
I poked through the rest of my scavenged brass and found the two offending rounds that had tied up the gun and been ejected. All three had the bulge which was not fully cleared by my sizing die, and a couple showed signs of the case 'wrinkling' from the sizing operation. Never saw this or had it happen before in over 10K .45 rounds reloaded here.
Besides the bulge, the other common element was a headstamp I'd never seen before, shown below. The cases looked pretty new, but they also had a more coppery tint to them than the typical yellow hue of brass. Can anyone identify this headstamp?
FWIW, whenever I crank up the press I always check the first dozen or so rounds for OAL and also with a Wilson cartridge gage. As long as they all check ok, I normally sample about 10% of the loaded rounds with the gage. This time around, the sampling rate failed me.
