FrontPage - adding in a file from another source?
I am developing a simple web site using FrontPage. I am using shared borders. For the bottom border, I need to show content from an existing URL (not in my current web). My client will be editing this file periodically; it shows up on everey single page in his website. I am only working on a small portion of the site. It is important that the bottom border of "my" part of the site is that same file that shows up everywhere else, so that when he edits it, my part is updated as well.
I believe that the Insert > File will show the content, but will not update when he edits the source file.
Basically, I just need the bottom border of my shared borders to show the content from an existing URL. For some reason, I can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

'Vampire' Squirrel Has World's Fluffiest Tail 54
from the in-the-dead-of-night-squirrel-bites dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Hmm, let me guess...
News for nutters, stuff that squeaks?
Quit your yappin. When I was your age, we used a wood-burning Slashdot. Old Tindery, we called it. Of course, back in those days, we didn't have the internet, we had to connect to it with a couple pieces of copper wire and some old fishing line, which back in those days was known as "trout twine". You could pick up a coil of trout twine and a shiny red apple for a nickel down at Bailey's Drug, but there was a nickel shortage due to the war, so I had to use five red cents which I got from picking a barrel full of cucumbers down in Birchton. "Greeny Sausages", we called them. I could eat a greeny sausage all day. Maybe two, but never three, because then my aunt would give me a whooping with her hickory switch for being greedy. And oh, you don't want to see Aunt Margie's hickory switch. It was a mule's leg in length and made of the most knotty hickory a lad ever did see...

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Is adamant armor as good in this game as it was in FFIV?
I still need a lot of ores to go for a full set and I don't feel like spending 20 hours running the same dungeon over and over unless it's really worth it.
Should be. Apparently everyone can equip the shields as well, meaning you can finally get rid of the empty hand slot for the mages. The characters who can dualwield can also apparently equip 2 of them, giving them even more of a stat bonus than others can get.
Damned imbeciles. Why do you wish to fight?
-Bahamut, FF8
+5 to all stats. Highest defense of all armors in the game (Or if not highest, top 3), and all pieces have a special resists, including elemental and status resists.
Sounds like it's still great armor, but not as great as the Adamant Armor could be in previous games. It's hard to keep track of which versions of the game had which versions of the armor, since it seems to change for each version, but various versions of the Adamant Armor have had 100 Defense, 100 Magic Defense, resistance to all eight elements, immunity to almost all status effects, +15 to all stats, and 99% evasion. Now, no single version of the game has had an armor with all of those at once (most recent DS version had all of those except I think 30% evasion boost), so it's never been as completely broken as that list sounds, but it's still been pretty ludicrous in every version of the game. Well, it wasn't quite as good in the GBA version, leading other options to arguably be better for at least some characters, but it was still great armor.
The Adamant armor pieces in this game are less broken, since the bonuses are split up between multiple equipment slots. I haven't seen the full stat listing, but it sounded like equipping a full Adamant set in TAY would be about equivalent to equipping the Adamant Armor in FF4. That doesn't leave the other slots open for other options though, like all the new special accessories. Fair tradeoff for Adamantite being so much easier to acquire than Pink Tails in FF4 IMO.

After seemingly endless years of waiting, The Multiversity is finally upon us. Issue #1 is exactly as mind-bending as you've been guessing, and the results are slightly mixed, but mostly fantastic. Those of us familiar with Grant Morrison's body of work at DC Comics are more than familiar with his take on the metaphysics of the DC Multiverse. In one way or another, Morrison has been taking us on an exploration of the substructure of the DCU since his work in Animal Man all the way back in the 1980's. Of course, over the decades his views have evolved, but he's done an incredible job of keeping his fans updated throughout his ever-expanding views of the fictional, non-fictional, and everything else in between. The Multiversity #1 picks up speed almost immediately, taking readers on a journey that longtime Morrison fans will be equipped and excited for. That said, readers new to Morrison's antics be warned: Things will get trippy.
Issue #1 opens with Nix Uotan, the last remaining monitor that readers of Final Crisis will be familiar with. From there, readers are taken on a journey to new worlds featuring new, but strangely familiar faces. In the end, we learn that heroes must band together to save existence itself from extinction. This is a huge, action-packed superhero adventure on the scale that you would expect from Morrison. In the best possible way, this is all par for the course really, and while this part of the story is relatively straight forward, it's all of the other elements of this book that will really start to get under your skin.
This book literally speaks to you, pleads with you, and at times even commands you! Morrison has made us, and the very comic book in your hand, a part of his story, but to what end is still vastly unclear. As with all of Morrison's work, things might feel a bit disorienting right now as he enjoys keeping things very close to the vest, but those willing to really dig into this thing should find plenty to keep them entertained.
The Multiversity #1 features a wide variety of characters throughout its 40 pages. President Superman and Captain Carrot are definitely the standouts here, though there are plenty of other surprise characters throughout this issue that make things infinitely fun. We get a great sense of who some of these folks are, and it's extremely refreshing to get out of the New 52 pool for a bit in favor of some other multiversal flavors.
Unfortunately, not all characters get a very good introduction here as there are more heroes featured in the "Cosmic Neighborhood Watch" than there is time to devote to them apparently. This is a situation where the complaint is essentially not getting enough of a thing that you are really enjoying, so this is a very minor criticism, but you may find yourself simply wanting more from these multiversal characters. Of course, there are more than just heroes here, and the villains are truly some of the most twisted and out-of-the-box characters that Morrison has ever created. There is so much creativity here that the experience of reading this book is almost electric.
Penciler Ivan Reis and Inker Joe Prado deliver stunning work throughout this issue. Reis' layouts are all appropriately epic and flow beautifully through all of Morrison's high concepts. Prado really helps to reign all of Reis' pencils in with his thick and steady lines. Finally, colorist Nei Ruffino helps bring to life all of the beautiful pencil work with her solid colors. With all of that said, there are a few instances where the characters begin talking about something that is seemingly in front of them, but the art doesn't reflect it at all. It's hard to say if it was designed to be this way, but you might find yourself squinting at a page or two wondering if you're just missing something that's right in front of you.

Report: Researchers find brain damage in Henry
ESPN.com is reporting that researchers say late Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry had a form of degenerative brain damage caused by multiple hits to the head.
Dr. Julian Bailes, director of the Brain Injury Research Institute at West Virginia University, told ESPN.com that chronic traumatic encephalopathy has been found in multiple areas of Henry's brain.
Bailes and his colleagues plan to present results of their forensic examination at a news conference Monday.
Henry, 26, died on Dec. 17, 2009, of head injuries a day after he either jumped or fell from the back of a moving pickup truck being driven by his fiancee.
Henry's mother, Carolyn Henry Glaspy, gave BIRI permission to examine his brain in detail.

Comment: Re:Looking beyond your echo chamber (Score 1) 2221
by vtscott (#23958097) Attached to: Supreme Court Holds Right to Bear Arms Applies to Individuals
If this discussion was well moderated you'd have a -1 flamebait by now. The parent poster in no way said that this court decision exonerated or excused any of the bad that Bush has done. You're just putting words in his mouth so that you can go off on a tangential rant. I think he had a good point and that was that if we want to have balanced discussions and be intellectually honest, we should give credit where credit is due even if it goes to Bush.

8/15/14 As you will read from the comments below, there came a point when the suggestions I gave here no longer work. I suggest that you download the latest version of MikTeX (2.9 as of this writing). Older versions may no longer be supported so that the "install packages on the fly" will not work (not even if you use the Package Manager). I haven't installed 2.9 myself (due to bandwidth limitations in our on-campus internet) but the steps I wrote below should (hopefully) work as long as you have the latest versions of the needed software, which you can find here: MiKTeX, TXC.
Below are three easy steps on installing MiKTeX, LaTeX and Beamer.
1. First you need to install MiKTeX. It's pretty much the core of the of the LaTeX system – it's the software that actually creates the documents. Size is approximately 110 MB. Click here to download MiKTeX. The rest of the installation process is pretty much intuitive. Installation may take minutes so be patient.
2. Next you will need an environment on which to type codes. The most commonly used one is TeXniC Center (go to the download page). Once you're done downloading, installation should be a breeze. When you first run Texnic Center, the set-up will ask you for the location of executable files. The default location should be \Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\miktex\bin.
3. Now let's install Beamer. Note that this only if you have an internet connection. Otherwise, you might need to download Beamer's components at its SourceForge page (look elsewhere on how to install Beamer manually). Click Start, look for MiKTeX then go to Maintenance –> Settings. On the General tab select your default paper size, and on "Install missing packages on the fly", choose Yes.
This option will save you from downloading all the necessary packages to install Beamer, which is kind of a hassle. Open TeXnic Center and go to File –> New. Then copy and paste any Beamer code, such as the ones here. Save the file, then click CTRL + F7 to compile it. TeXniC Center will automatically call MiKTEX install whatever package is needed.

Vote on AHA Free Speech Resolution is Nine Days Away
In an article for HNN, Ralph E. Luker, one of the sponsors, sends a reminder to those historians who opposed a previous resolution linking speech codes and the Academic Bill of Rights as twin threats to academic freedom but volunteered to support a targeted resolution on speech codes.
All AHA members can vote at the business meeting which Saturday, January 6, 2007 in the Hilton Atlanta's Fulton/Cobb Rooms beginning at 4:45 p.m. Here is the resolution:
Whereas, The American Historical Association has already gone on record against the threat to academic freedom posed by the Academic Bill of Rights;
Whereas, Free and open discourse is essential to the success of research and learning on campus;
Whereas, Administrators and others have used campus speech codes and associated non-academic criteria to improperly restrict faculty choices on curriculum, course content, and personnel decisions; and
Whereas, Administrators and others have also used speech codes to restrict free and open discourse for students and faculty alike through such methods as"free speech zones" and censorship of campus publications; therefore be it
Resolved, That the American Historical Association opposes the use of speech codes to restrict academic freedom.

Article: Assessing clinical outcomes of patients with acute calculous cholecystitis in addition to the Tokyo grading: A retrospective study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The management of acute cholecystitis is still based on clinical expertise. This study aims to investigate whether the outcome of acute cholecystitis can be related to the severity criteria of the Tokyo guidelines and additional clinical comorbidities. A total of 103 patients with acute cholecystitis were retrospectively enrolled and their medical records were reviewed. They were all classified according to therapeutic modality, including early cholecystectomy and antibiotic treatment with or without percutaneous cholecystostomy. The impact of the Tokyo guidelines and the presence of comorbidities on clinical outcome were assessed by univariate and multivariate regression analyses. According to Tokyo severity grading, 48 patients were Grade I, 31 patients were Grade II, and 24 patients were Grade III. The Grade III patients had a longer hospital stay than Grade II and Grade I patients (15.2 days, 9.2 days, and 7.3 days, respectively, p < 0.05). According to multivariate analysis, patients with Grade III Tokyo severity, higher Charlson's comorbidity score, and encountering complications had a longer hospital stay. Based on treatment modality, surgeons selected the patients with less severity and fewer comorbidities for cholecystectomy, and these patients had a shorter hospital stay. In addition to the grading of the Tokyo guidelines, comorbidities had an additional impact on clinical outcomes and should be an important consideration when making therapeutic decisions.The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences 09/2014; 30(9).

Article: Increasing Incidence and Lifetime Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Taiwan: A Nationwide Study in a Low-endemic Area 1998-2010[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing worldwide, but data of epidemiological trends from low-endemic area are limited. As one of the low-endemic countries, we describe the trends of this disease in Taiwan over time. This study was based on data obtained from the Catastrophic Illnesses Registration in the National Health Insurance Research Database, which covers more than 98% of the people in Taiwan. Every certificate of catastrophic illness must be approved by 2 expert gastroenterologists. Thirteen years (1998-2010) of data were analyzed for the trends of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). A total of 2915 incident cases (1818 men and 1097 women) were identified, including 2357 cases of UC and 558 cases of CD. The mean annual incidence rates were 0.80 for UC and 0.19 for CD per 100,000 inhabitants, with lifetime risks for those 20 to 79 years of age of 0.066% and 0.013%, respectively. The mean annual prevalence was 4.59 for UC and 1.05 for CD per 100,000 inhabitants. Poisson regression showed significantly increased trends during the observation period for both diseases, with a men/women ratio of 1.50 in UC and 2.14 in CD (P < 0.01). The mean age of individuals at diagnosis was higher for UC as compared with CD (44.7 versus 37.9, P < 0.001). Inflammatory bowel diseases are still relatively uncommon in Taiwan, but the incidence and prevalence rates are increasing.Inflammatory Bowel Diseases 10/2013; 19(13).

Article: Increased gastric osteopontin expression by Helicobacter pylori Infection can correlate with more severe gastric inflammation and intestinal metaplasia.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Osteopontin (OPN) is involved in the gastric cancer progression. The study validated whether OPN expressions correlate with Helicobacter pylori-related chronic gastric inflammation and the precancerous change as intestinal metaplasia (IM). This study included 105 H. pylori-infected patients (63 without and 42 with IM) and 29 H. pylori-negative controls. In each subject, the gastric OPN expression intensity was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and graded from 0 to 4 for the epithelium, lamina propria, and areas with IM, respectively. For the H. pylori-infected subjects, the gastric inflammation was assessed by the Updated Sydney System. Forty-nine patients received follow-up endoscopy to assess OPN change on gastric mucosa after H. pylori eradication. The in vitro cell-H. pylori coculture were performed to test the cell origin of OPN. The H. pylori-infected patients had higher gastric OPN expression than the noninfected controls (p < .001). For the H. pylori-infected patients, an increased OPN expression correlated with more severe chronic gastric inflammation (p < .001) and the presence of IM (OR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.15-5.94, p = .02). Within the same gastric bits, lamina propria expressed OPN stronger than epithelium (p < .001), suggesting OPN predominantly originates from inflammatory cells. The in vitro assay confirmed H. pylori stimulate OPN expression in the monocytes, but not in the gastric epithelial cells. After H. pylori eradication, the gastric OPN expression could be decreased only in areas without IM (p < .05). Increased gastric OPN expression by H. pylori infection can correlate with a more severe gastric inflammation and the presence of IM.Helicobacter 06/2011; 16(3):217-24.

Article: Helicobacter pylori with stronger intensity of CagA phosphorylation lead to an increased risk of gastric intestinal metaplasia and cancer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nearly all Taiwanese H. pylori stains are cagA-genopositive and encode CagA protein. In this study, we evaluated whether different intensity of tyrosine phosphorylated-CagA (p-CagA) had an impact on the clinical diseases and histological outcomes in this area. We enrolled 469 dyspeptic patients and prospectively obtained the gastric biopsy specimens and the H. pylori isolates. These patients were categorized according to the clinical diseases, such as duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, gastric cancer, and gastritis with or without intestinal metaplasia. Their gastric specimens were reviewed by the updated Sydney's system. Furthermore, a total of 146 patients were randomly selected from each clinical category for evaluation of their isolates' p-CagA intensity by in vitro AGS cells co-culture. The p-CagA was sparse in 30 (20.5%), weak in 59 (40.5%), and strong in 57 (39%) isolates. The isolates from the patients of gastric cancer or gastritis with intestinal metaplasia had stronger p-CagA intensity than those of gastritis without intestinal metaplasia (p ≤ 0.002). Moreover, the patients infected with isolates with strong or weak p-CagA intensity had a higher risk of gastric intestinal metaplasia (p < 0.05, odds ratio 3.09~15.26) than those infected with sparse p-CagA isolates. Infection with H. pylori stains with stronger p-CagA intensity may lead to an increased risk of gastric intestinal metaplasia and cancer.BMC Microbiology 05/2011; 11:121.

Article: Factors relating to the short term effectiveness of percutaneous biliary drainage for hilar cholangiocarcinoma.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To identify factors that were related to the short term effectiveness of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage in cholangiocarcinoma patients and to evaluate the impact of palliative drainage on their survival. Seventy-four patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent percutaneous biliary drainage were enrolled in the study. The demographic and laboratory data as well as the imaging characteristics were retrospectively analyzed to correlate with the bile output and reduction rate of serum bilirubin 1 wk after drainage. Patients with more bile duct visualized on percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography or absence of multiple liver metastases on imaging studies had more bile output after biliary drainage [odds ratio (OR): 8.471, P = 0.010 and OR: 1.959, P = 0.022, respectively]. Patients with prolonged prothrombin time had a slow decrease in serum bilirubin (OR: 0.437, P = 0.005). The median survival time was not significantly different in patients with low or high bile output (75 d vs 125 d, P = 0.573) or in patients with slow or rapid reduction of serum bilirubin (88 d vs 94 d, P = 0.576). The short term effectiveness of percutaneous biliary drainage was related to patient's prothrombin time or the extent of tumor involvement. It, however, had no impact on survival.World Journal of Gastroenterology 11/2009; 15(41):5206-10. · 2.43 Impact Factor
Article: Airway infection predisposes to peristomal infection after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy with high concordance between sputum and wound isolates.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Peristomal infection is common after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between airway and peristomal infected pathogens. Before the procedure, sputum cultures were prospectively performed for the patients with airway symptoms. All the patients received prophylactic antibiotics. Once peristomal infection occurred, the wound cultures were obtained to analyze the antibiotic susceptibilities of the pathogens. The paired isolates, with concordance between sputum and wound cultures, were validated for their clone identity using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. One hundred twelve patients were enrolled, and 30 patients had peristomal infection. The 31 patients with airway pathogens had a 10-fold higher risk of peristomal infection than the other 81 without airway pathogens (95% CI, 3.85-26.4, p < 0.001). Among patients collected with paired isolates from wound and sputum, 85% had concordant microorganism species. In the paired concordant isolates, 94% had indistinguishable antibiogram, and nearly 90% were clonally identical in pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. Patients with airway infection have an increased risk of peristomal infection after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. Concerning the high concordance between infected wound and sputum isolates of such patients, the selection of appropriate prophylactic antibiotics could be individual to cover the microorganisms isolated from sputum.Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 10/2009; 14(1):45-51.

Article: Massive hepatic infarction after pure ethanol injection and radiofrequency ablation therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma: a case report.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hepatic infarction is a rare complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatic infarction is thought to be caused by injury to either the hepatic arterial system or to both the hepatic arterial and portal venous supply. The efficacy of RFA is reduced in the presence of nearby vessels larger than 3 mm in diameter due to a heat-sink effect. Such an effect can be diminished by performing percutaneous pure ethanol injection prior to RFA. Although larger vessels are unlikely to be ablated or obliterated by RFA alone, it can happen and cause massive liver damage, particularly if RFA was preceded by other therapies such as percutaneous pure ethanol injection and/or transcatheter arterial embolization. Here, we report a case of massive liver infarction after sequential use of both treatment modalities for hepatocellular carcinoma.The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences 04/2009; 25(3):156-9.

Article: Gender difference of circulating ghrelin and leptin concentrations in chronic Helicobacter pylori infection.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Both ghrelin and leptin are important appetite hormones secreted from the stomach. We examined whether demographic background, Helicobacter pylori infection, or its related gastritis severity could be associated with circulating ghrelin and leptin levels. This study prospectively enrolled 341 dyspeptic patients (196 females, 145 males), who had received endoscopy to provide the gastric specimens over both antrum and corpus for histology reviewed by the updated Sydney's system. The fasting blood sample of each patient was obtained for total ghrelin and leptin analysis. Without H. pylori infection, there were similar ghrelin levels between female and male patients. In the H. pylori-infected patients, the males had lower plasma ghrelin levels than females (1053 vs. 1419 pg/mL, p < .001). Only in males, not in females, the H. pylori infection and its related acute and chronic inflammation scores were significantly associated with a lower ghrelin level (p < or = .04). The multivariate regression disclosed that only the chronic inflammation score independently related to a lower ghrelin level. Only in males, the ghrelin levels ranked in a downward trend for the gastritis feature as with limited-gastritis, with antrum-predominant gastritis, and with corpus-gastritis (1236, 1101, and 977 pg/mL). Leptin level was not related to H. pylori-related gastritis, but positively related to body mass index. There should be a gender difference to circulating total ghrelin levels, but not leptin levels, in response to H. pylori infection and its related chronic gastritis.Helicobacter 02/2009; 14(1):54-60.

Article: Pneumoperitoneum caused by air leakage through the percutaneous puncture tract as a complication of rendezvous technique: a case report.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The rendezvous technique, combining percutaneous and endoscopic procedures, is a safe and effective method to achieve biliary cannulation if an endoscopic approach fails. The two procedures in this technique can be carried out simultaneously or in stages. A simultaneous approach is reported to be associated with fewer complications, and patients undergoing this approach can recover and be discharged more rapidly. Here, we report a complication of pneumoperitoneum in a patient who underwent percutaneous and endoscopic procedures simultaneously for the removal of a common bile duct stone. It was supposed that prolonged air insufflation during endoscopy forced intestinal air to track into the peritoneal cavity through the bile ducts and the puncture tract. Accordingly, a short wait before removing the percutaneous catheter to deflate the intestinal air will be helpful to avoid such a complication.The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences 12/2008; 24(11):614-7.

ABSTRACT: Long-term surveillance of pyogenic liver abscess remains unavailable. We thus aimed to identify the recurrence rates of pyogenic liver abscess among various etiologies and pathogens, and to elucidate the factors related with this recurrence. Six-hundred and one patients with pyogenic liver abscess were prospectively enrolled to observe abscess recurrence during a mean follow-up period of up to 6.06 years. On the basis of the etiology of the initial abscess, patients were divided into different subgroups as follows: there were 152 (25.3%) patients classified as cryptogenic, 229 (38.1%) with diabetes mellitus, 144 (24%) with underlying biliary tract disease, and 76 (12.6%) with other organic diseases or mixed subgroups. The cumulative recurrence rates of pyogenic liver abscess were lower in both the cryptogenic (2.0%) and diabetic (4.4%) groups than in the underlying biliary tract disease (23.8%) group (log-rank test, P<0.001). The diabetic group had a higher rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection and a lower rate of Escherichia coli infection than the biliary tract group (P<0.001). For patients infected with K. pneumoniae, the recurrence rate of pyogenic liver abscess was as low as that of the diabetes and the cryptogenic groups (P>0.05). Pyogenic liver abscess is more commonly recurrent in patients with underlying biliary tract disease. Irrespective of diabetic status or cryptogenic etiology, the recurrence of K. pneumoniae-infected liver abscess is low in the long-term.Journal of clinical gastroenterology 05/2008; 42(10):1110-5.

Article: Adjuvant effect of vitamin C on omeprazole-amoxicillin-clarithromycin triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To test the impact of vitamin C supplementation on triple therapy for H. pylori eradication. A total of 171 H. pylori-infected patients were randomized to receive different one-week triple therapies, including 20 mg omeprazole, 1 g amoxicillin, plus the following twice daily: (1) 250 mg clarithromycin (C250 group, n=55); (2) 250 mg clarithromycin and 500 mg vitamin C (V-C250 group, n=61); (3) 500 mg clarithromycin (C500 group, n=55). Six weeks after treatment, the success of H. pylori eradication was assessed by a 13C-urea breath test. Each collected H. pylori strain was defined as either clarithromycin susceptible or resistant by E-test. The demographic background, clarithromycin susceptibility of H. pylori, and drug compliance were similar among the three groups (p=NS). For clarithromycin susceptible infection, the V-C250 group had a higher eradication rate than the C250 group (ITT: 85% vs. 68% and PP: 90% vs. 73%, p = 0.03), but had an equivalent rate to the C500 group (p=NS). For clarithromycin resistant infection, all three groups had a similarly poor eradication rate of less than 34%. Adding vitamin C to one-week triple therapy can reduce the dosage of clarithromycin, but preserve the high eradication efficacy for clarithromycin susceptible H. pylori infection.Hepato-gastroenterology 01/2007; 54(73):320-4. · 0.91 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Procedure-related bacterial infections may complicate esophageal variceal ligation in cirrhosis patients. Here, we report a 58-year-old man with underlying diabetes and liver cirrhosis who developed Klebsiella pneumoniae meningitis and brain abscess with gas formation in brain parenchyma and ventricles after this procedure. Despite administration of appropriate antimicrobial therapy, he became comatose on the 3rd day of acute illness and died on the 4th day of hospitalization. This case highlights the indication for antimicrobial prophylaxis in cirrhotic patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, and the need for early and heightened awareness of central nervous system infections in cirrhotic patients with hepatic encephalopathy.Journal of the Formosan Medical Association 11/2006; 105(10):857-60.

Article: The efficacy of high- and low-dose intravenous omeprazole in preventing rebleeding for patients with bleeding peptic ulcers and comorbid illnesses.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study sought to determine if high-dose omeprazole infusion could improve the control of rebleeding in patients with comorbid illnesses and bleeding peptic ulcers. After achieving hemostasis by endoscopy, 105 patients were randomized into high-dose (n = 52) and low-dose (n = 53) groups, receiving 200 and 80 mg/day omeprazole, respectively, as a continuous infusion for 3 days. Thereafter, oral omeprazole, 20 mg/day, was given. The cumulative rebleeding rates comparatively rose in both groups (high-dose vs. low-dose group), beginning on day 3 (15.4% vs. 11.3%), day 7 (19.6% vs. 20%), and day 14 (32.7% vs. 28.9%), until day 28 (35.4% vs. 33.3%), and were not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.50). Multiple logistic regression confirmed that a serum albumin level <3 g/dL was an independent factor associated with rebleeding (P = 0.002). For patients with comorbidities, 3-day omeprazole infusion, despite increasing the daily dose from 80 to 200 mg, was not adequate to control peptic ulcer rebleeding.Digestive Diseases and Sciences 07/2005; 50(7):1194-201.

Article: Host TNF-alpha-1031 and -863 promoter single nucleotide polymorphisms determine the risk of benign ulceration after H. pylori infection.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study tested whether host genotypes of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) promoter single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) could determine clinical and histological outcomes after Helicobacter pylori infection. A total of 524 dyspeptic patients, 424 with and 100 without H. pylori infection, were checked for TNF-alpha promoter SNP over the locus on -1031(T/C), -863(C/A), -857(C/T), -806(C/T), and -308(G/A) by sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe. Each patient received panendoscopy to take gastric biopsy to detect H. pylori infection and its related histology using the updated Sydney's system. Gastric TNF-alpha expressions were stained by immunohistochemistry. In H. pylori-infected patients, -1031C or -863A carriers of TNF-alpha promoter had more severe gastric neutrophil infiltration and TNF-alpha gastric staining than individuals with -1031TT or -863CC genotype, respectively (p<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression verified both -1031C and -863A carriers were independent risk factors to have duodenal ulcers and gastric ulcer without IM in the H. pylori-infected hosts (p<0.05). As compared to -863CC and -1031TT genotype combinations, the ulcer risk after H. pylori infection was 2.46 (95% CI: 1.32-4.59, p<or=0.00001) for the carriers with either -1031C or -863A allele, and even elevated to 6.06 (95% CI: 3.57-10.21, p<or=0.00001) for the individuals harboring both -863A and -1031C alleles. For patients with gastric ulcer, the 863CC genotype had a higher rate to have intestinal metaplasia than -863A carrier (p<or=0.005). TNF-alpha-1031 and -863 promoter SNP should be novel host factors to determine the gastric inflammation and risk of peptic ulceration upon H. pylori infection.The American Journal of Gastroenterology 06/2005; 100(6):1274-82.

Article: Portal venous flow pattern as a useful tool for predicting esophageal varix bleeding in cirrhotic patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate whether (1) the portal venous flow pattern determined by color Doppler sonography could be related to the clinical severity of liver cirrhosis and (2) whether the flow patterns differ between patients with bleeding and nonbleeding esophageal varices. One hundred twenty-nine cirrhotic patients and 60 noncirrhotic healthy controls were enrolled after endoscopic survey for the presence of esophageal varices. Each patient received color Doppler echography to define the pattern of blood flow direction as hepatopetal or nonhepatopetal (hepatofugal, turbulence, and bidirection) in type. The patients with esophageal varices were further categorized into two groups: with recent bleeding (BEV; n = 99) and without recent bleeding (NBEV; n = 30). More patients in the BEV group (72.7%) had a nonhepatopetal Doppler flow pattern than in the control group (1.7%) and NBEV group (13.3%) (P < 0.001). Among the 129 cirrhotic patients, the nonhepatopetal flow pattern of the portal vein was higher in 96% of Child-Pugh grade C patients than in 41.8% of grade A patients and 57.6% of grade B patients (P < 0.05). Moreover, for those cirrhotic patients with Child-Pugh grades A and B, the nonhepatopetal Doppler flow pattern was more commonly found in the BEV group than in the NBEV group (63.0 vs. 13.8%; odds ratio, 10.64; 95% CI, 0.03-0.299; P < 0.001). Portal venous blood flow pattern is related to severity of cirrhosis. The presence of a nonhepatopetal flow pattern implicates an increased risk of esophageal varices bleeding, especially for those cirrhotic patients with Child-Pugh grades A and B.Digestive Diseases and Sciences 06/2005; 50(6):1170-4.

AMD Launches Radeon R7 Series Solid State Drives With OCZ 64
from the brand-awareness dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I knew someone would bring up OCZ's reputation. News flash: they've been wholly owned by Toshiba [ocz.com] since January. Why they decided to keep the tarnished brand is a mystery to me.
the AMD Radeon R7 SSD series is very fast, has a greatly refined Barefoot controller with accompanying firmware and Toshiba's latest A19nm NAND flash memory. It is a product you'll like and use for a long time. I also dare to state that it is one of the most reliable product on the market anno 2014, combined with the excellent new ShieldPlus warranty this is a pure win in our book, and as such it comes very much recommended by Guru3D.com
Maybe an OCZ with a sticker, but who cares, really? Quality product, good price. Not much to hate here.
At least Amazon has a track record of making decent hardware. The existing Kindle products are pretty nice.
OCZ has a track record of making terrible SSDs.
AMD are giving these a 4 yr warranty, which means they must have some faith in them.
After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

Advice on Zantedeschia (Arum Lily & Trumpet Lily)
I have bought the following varieties of Zantedeschia - Black Pearl (Trumpet Lily), Arum Lily aethiopica Green Goddess and Arum Lily aethiopica Crowborough - http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.Zantedeschia/
I am going to be planting them in our south facing Back Garden in Southampton, Hampshire, England. I have been reading that they like a lot of water. Unfortunately I do not have a pond or stream in our garden.
How much water do thse plants REALLY need?
Will watering them every evening be ok?
Are they ok to be planted in full sun or do they really need a bit of shade?
I have read that they are slightly frost hardy. As I live in Southampton on the South Coast of England, do you think they will be ok to be left in the ground through out the winter? I have read that it is recommended to mulch plants well in winter, What does this involve?
I have read various articles about them on various web sites and I am getting a lot of conflicting information!!!!!!
Thanks for your assistance.
First, callas (Zantedeschia species) are not lilies at all but aroids - another of the dozens of plants commonly referred to as "lilies" but with no connection to the Liliaceae.
Z. aethiopica cultivars are usually rated as hardy to USDA zone 8, -15C or very slightly lower (increased hardiness once well established). They grow easily in the ground in my climate although the foliage melts into a nasty, slimy pile with the first hard frost. They can be grown anywhere in the garden that receives normal watering - they just dislike drying out. Full sun works but might require more frequent watering - they also grow well in part shade. Slightly acidic soil with a high organic content and good drainage is recommended.
'Black Pearl' and other strongly colored forms are hybrids and have much less hardiness than does Z. aethiopica. These are sold as flowering annuals or tender summer flowering bulbs in my area and do require winter protection. Many folks here grow them in containers that can be easily moved inside or some protected area for winter storage.

Aries, March 20-April 19, initiating spirituality (fire)
No one likes a know-it-all. Must you have an opinion on every subject floating your way? These last six weeks should have taught you to be where you are, not looking for greener grass. Gemini people are to inspire you like guardian angels, which are getting you to see the best in everyone where they are, not simply relating to their potential. Use your well-formed brain to see past the superficial, but know when to speak up about your insights. Playing your own devil's advocate is your opposing sign of Libra. Sure, their indecisiveness can wear on your reserve nerves, but they are a sign of how consensus is recognized and built. Consensus and team building take time. Like anyone with any objective social consciousness knows: Marijuana and psychedelics will be legalized by the middle part of the 21st century. It will simply cost too much to continue our "war on drugs," among other concerns. Not to be heartless, but some people must die off. (now, don't be getting any ideas, OK?)
Earth Element
Look within to ascertain your heart's desire.
Virgo, August 23-September 22, adapting and learning earth (physical)
Simply seeking perfection will be helped through relating to Capricorns. These early winter folks assist you to become more you. Self-improvement can come from your motivation to better serve your family, tribe and community. Capricorn and Taurus are members of your pragmatic tribe. Taurus will be increasingly critical of you if they feel uncomfortable or they think you have more stuff than you do. Sometimes they can beat you out with blowing petty concerns out of proportion. It's the "mountains out of molehills" that Cap can keep from happening. Realize that Mercury is slowing down to go retrograde in your preceding sign of Leo (July 14-August 7). Listen to Taurus, but heed Capricorn.
Capricorn, December 22-January 20, initiating earth (physical)
Read Virgo first please. These humble individuals have much to teach you. July is a "whistling while you work" time. Instead of plying your ambitions like overwatering your garden, take a step back and recall why you work as hard as you do. Virgos remind you of the joy that ought to come from service, from a job well done. It has been said that "to rule is to serve." Why is it so important that all bucks stop with you? Have a serious talk with other Caps to get to know your real motives behind the need to be in control all the time. Too many judgments keep life's joy at bay. Realize how common sense may not be so common, and prepare yourself for that.
Taurus, April 20-May 20, concentrating earth (physical)
Maybe there is nothing new under the sun. Maybe there are no new creations. And maybe you've begun to believe any ol' bullshit that comes out of your mouth. Yes, plants need fertilizer, but let's not overdo it, OK? These last six weeks, Venus' turnabout occurred to get you to see what truly matters in your life. Not what others want to have matter for you, but what you want to have matter for you. Taurus, Cancer and Scorpio natives conspire to help you stay on path, an inside-out path. Virgos will nitpick. However, if their heart comes out of love, drop your defenses. Not only listen to the September born but also put their advice into action. A Taurus who actively listens ... so there are some new things under the sun, huh?

From the episodes we know that
That there is border area that not part of the nutural zone, as the impression is that "The Tin Man" Takes place in the fronteir where the exact location of the two borders is not set.
Probes are allowed in the NZ, as in the episode "The Neutral zone" (IIRC) the Romulan commander uses the excuse of a robotic probe on why there is romulation communications in that area. Perhaps probes are allowed as mutual technical means to make sure parties do not build bases in the NZ.

BEIRUT: Former Finance Minister Jihad Azour emphasized the importance of formulating a strategy for preserving financial stability during the hard circumstances that Lebanon is going through today.
The strategy aims at increasing the level of liquidity in the treasury to enable the government in meeting any financial needs.
The strategy should also limit public expenditures, which have increased significantly in the past few years while the deficit has doubled between 2011 and 2014. Azour believes that the government should adopt precautionary measures in order to protect the monetary stability.
"The government should not wait till the last moment to solve any issue because it will surely become more serious with time," he said.
"The electricity problem was a subject of discussion by successive governments but no practical decisions were taken to solve this issue," he added.

We've seen morde being bounced back and forth in recent patches. However, Riot will never get him right the way they're currently balancing him.
He doesn't take any thinking. At all. It's very easy for even the newest players to play Mordekaiser mechanically to the fullest. When to use skills, which person to use it on ETC. are very simple to master.
Basically, you have a champion that is always being played at its fullest. What does this mean? This means that the slightest buff or nerf will drastically change his viability. If you buff his numbers, every player in every game will feel that difference. He has no CC, his Q should hit creeps, and his shield is almost a no-brainer.
There's no real reward for micro-ing his ghost, and his W is just cast whenever it gets off of cooldown.
Mordekaiser needs a remake. Not a complete one, but just enough of one that there is some risk/reward to his skillset (healthcost is not a good risk/reward).
Too much risk for not enough reward outside of going full-tank (because most people are dumb and will target your 3000-hp, 200-armor/MR-bearing brick instead of someone, y'know, threatening)
There is a risk/reward.
You use your abilities to generate your shield, which without you are nothing.
But to maximize you shield uptime you have to decimate the minion wave, pushing your lane way past the safety line.
So you have to make sure you get the right balance of harrass/farm/shield generation while avoiding pushing your lane when unsafe.
No? If you think spamming his skills in the laning phase is the way to go, then you have no idea how to play Mordekaiser.
NJ Fury S
Are you complaining about his the depth of his playstyle, or risk/reward? You sort of throw the two around interchangeably.
Lone Blade
on the topic of no reason to micro ghost... don't you love it when someone underestimates your ghost and you use your ghost to kill them under the tower?
I don't like that people always use the argument that X champ is to easy to play. It's not really a viable complaint.
Yes, Morde's easy to play. But not ever champ should have a learning curve as steep as say Karma. And it's not fair that easy to play champs shouldn't be just as viable as difficult to use champs.

Fire readiness concerns raised over Rincon high rise hotel
VALLEY CENTER -- A new 21-story hotel tower that opened earlier this month at the Rincon Indian Reservation is raising concerns among some Valley Center residents and fire officials that fire-fighting resources in the rural community may not be enough in case of a large fire at the high rise.
At over 235 feet tall, the tribe's new hotel tower is the tallest structure in North County.
The tribe's leaders and San Pasqual Fire Department officials, who have a contract to fight fires on the reservation, said this week that the tribe has the resources necessary to make the building safe. The building itself has fire and smoke suppression systems built in, officials said.
"We have the equipment and the training," said Michael Donovan, fire captain of the San Pasqual Fire Department. "We have a mutual aid agreement with CDF (the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection) and Pala Fire Department."
But the height of the tower has raised questions about fire safety among other fire officials who work near the reservation and are more accustomed to fighting brush fires than high-rise blazes.
Valley Center's fire chief has said in court documents relating to the Paradise Fire of 2003 that fire services around the casino are insufficient.
The fire chief of the California Department of Forestry, which is responsible for protecting the wild land on reservations and has a contract with the local water district to protect structures, said the department does not have the equipment to fight fires on tall buildings.
"Our engines are brush fire engines not designed for high rise fires," CDF Fire Chief Chuck Maner said. "That's not our mission."
At the hotel tower's grand opening on Monday, Rincon chairman John Currier said the tribe purchased a new 75-foot ladder fire engine to service the casino complex. He said the tribe was also looking to establish its own fire department.
The Rincon band owns one of the largest Indian resorts in Southern California. Valued at over $300 million, Harrah's Rincon Casino & Resort includes a 1,600-slot casino, a 650-room hotel, eight restaurants and a spa.
The Pala band built a 10-story hotel at its reservation about 15 miles north of Escondido. The Pechanga band also built a 14-story hotel at its reservation near Temecula.
In the tribe's 2001 environmental review on the casino, Rincon said it would seek agreements with local fire departments to provide firefighting services. It reached an agreement with the San Pasqual fire department at a neighboring Indian reservation.
Rincon tribal leaders held talks with the Valley Center Fire Protection District in 2001, but failed to reach an agreement. Valley Center Fire Chief Kevin O'Leary said his department would be stretched thin if it were to provide fire services to the casino.
Concerns about fire services on the reservation were highlighted in a lawsuit filed by the family of Ashleigh Roach, a Valley Center teenager who died Oct. 26, 2003 during the Paradise fire. The Roach family alleged in the lawsuit that Harrah's Entertainment Inc. failed to provide adequate fire protection services on the reservation.
