Greenlandic: Qeqertarsuaq (in Kalaallisut[note 1] Danish: Godhavn[note 2]) is a port and town in Qaasuitsup municipality, located on the south coast of Disko Island on the west coast of Greenland. Founded in 1773, the town is now home to a campus of the University of Copenhagen known as Arctic Station. "Qeqertarsuaq" is the Kalaallisut name for Disko Island and is also now used for several other islands on Greenland in Qaasuitsup, including those formerly known as Upernavik and Herbert Island.
In 2013, the town had 845 inhabitants.[1] The remainder of the population of the island (less than 50 people) lives in the Kangerluk settlement, a few hours by boat to the northwest.
The total area of Disko Island and its satellite islands (mainly Qeqertarsuatsiaq Island 11 km (7 mi) northwest of the northern coast and Qeqertaq on the southwest coast at the mouth of Disko Fjord) is 9,700 km2 (3,750 sq mi). Blæsedalen valley is to the north of the town.
Kangerluk is the location where researchers found a 'galloping' glacier in 1999 that moves up to 100 meters (330 ft) a day.
Traces of settlement between five and six thousand years ago have been found at Qeqertarsuaq. The settlers were paleo-Eskimos wandering south.
During the 18th century, the first whalers came to Qeqertarsuaq, where they found a suitable anchorage. The town was founded as Godhavn by the whaler Svend Sandgreen in 1773. The name was sometimes anglicized as Guthaven[2] and the settlement was also known as Lievely[3] or Leifly.[4][why?] It served as the northernmost point in the enforcement of the Danish rights to whaling in the region. Whaling has been of great importance to the town over the past two centuries. Hunting and fishing are still the primary occupations for the island's inhabitants.
From an early date,[when?] Godhavn shared the administration of Greenland with Godthåb (modern Nuuk). Godhavn served as the capital for North Greenland while Godthåb directed South Greenland. In 1862, a new law on municipalities was passed and the so-called Directions were introduced in Greenland. The primary task of the Directions was the administration of the means set apart for social purposes: support for widows, orphans, and others in need. The Directions also functioned as inferior courts in case of theft and other petty crimes. The Directions also took active part in the fight against the spreading of distemper. In Godhavn, they founded a kayak school for boys and a sewing school for girls.
The Councils of Northern and Southern Greenland were summoned to a meeting in Godhavn on 3 May 1940. Following this meeting, administration for the entire island was concentrated in Godthåb. The Chief Administrative Office was abolished in 1950 at the establishment of the National Council of Greenland. With the end of government positions in town, the local economy focused more directly on hunting and fishing.
On 1 January 2009, the former Qeqertarsuaq municipality was merged into the new Qaasuitsup municipality.
Many of the flat basaltic mountains found on Disko Island are covered with perpetual snow. The largest is called Sermersuaq ("Grand Glacier"). Sermersuaq is situated rather far from the coast and is difficult to reach in the summer. Lyngmarksbræen ("Lyngmark Glacier") is much smaller, covering only about 10 km, but can be reached more easily in a few hours' walk. From Lyngmarksfjeld, a panoramic view of Disko Bay allows viewers to see the icebergs at Ilulissat almost 100 kilometers (62 mi) away.
Qeqertarsuaq has a dog sled rental.
During the winter, Air Greenland operates air services from Qeqertarsuaq Heliport to Ilulissat, Qasigiannguit, and Aasiaat.[5]
When the waters of Disko Bay are navigable during summer and autumn, the heliport is closed and communication between settlements occurs only by sea via Diskoline.[6] The ferry links Qeqertarsuaq with Ilulissat, Aasiaat, Qasigiannguit, and Kitsissuarsuit.

With 843 inhabitants in 2014, Qeqertarsuaq is the smallest town in the Qaasuitsup municipality.[8] The population has decreased by more than 22% relative to the 1990 levels and by nearly 15% relative to the 2000 levels.[8]

It's a purpose Troy Calhoun thoroughly respects and realizes is necessary for our country. Calhoun left the NFL as an offensive coordinator in 2007 to embrace the mission of the Air Force Academy and accomplish what was once considered nearly impossible: building a service academy program that often earns a postseason bowl bid while playing in one of college football's best conferences. Six of his seven years Air Force has been to a bowl under Calhoun's guidance. The coach has guided Air Force to a 49-41 career record entering his eighth season. Air Force student-athletes must complete the nation's most demanding academic curriculum while further embedding the heart and character that are crucial for serving America. Cadets at the Academy must work through courses that require finishing over 140 semester hours. Strong character traits, to include respect, teamwork, courage, spirit, discipline, honesty and toughness, are the bedrock of the leadership qualities Air Force football players utilize while serving as officers in the United States Air Force. Calhoun and his staff have come up with a way to manage the varied demands of their players and lead them into a cohesive team that has fared quite well both on and off the field in his seven seasons as head coach. Calhoun's players are extraordinarily successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force football team's NCAA APR (Academic Progress Report) is annually amongst the finest of the 127 schools that play at the FBS level of college football. From May 2007 through the present, Air Force Football's multi-year APR has finished above the nation's 90th percentile five of the last seven years which is more than any ball sport at any service academy. This includes a most recent single year APR in 2013 of 997. Air Force football's most recent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) is 93 percent. In addition to being one of the nation's best in regards to the NCAA's APR and GSR, 141 of 142 seniors (99%) who have played for Calhoun since 2007 have graduated from the United States Air Force Academy and served as officers for our nation. Calhoun is the only coach in the history of service academy team ball sports to lead teams to a post-season bid six consecutive years. They have done this while playing very strong opponents. Calhoun's 2009 Air Force squad was the only team in the last 50 years of service academy football to play at least four ranked teams and win a bowl game in the same season. In the 100-plus year history of service academy football, Calhoun is the first coach to lead teams to at least six wins and a bowl game in each of his first six seasons. Air Force earned a bid in 2012 to the Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force won its second straight Commander-in-Chief's Trophy (and record 18th overall) in 2011, the first back-to-back titles at the Academy since 2001-02 and earned their fifth straight bowl game in the Military Bowl. The 2010 team finished 9-4 overall and won Air Force's 17th Commander-in-Chief's Trophy championship with wins over Army and Navy. The Falcons closed the season with a victory over Georgia Tech of the ACC, 14-7, in the Independence Bowl. Calhoun was named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation. The 2009 Air Force team finished 8-5 overall and concluded with a convincing 47-20 win over 25th-ranked Houston in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force set 13 Academy bowl team records in the dominant victory. The team also set six school records during the 2009 season. Calhoun was named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation for his efforts. Calhoun's 2007 and 2008 Air Force teams finished 9-4 and 8-5, respectively, and both earned bowl bids. The 2007 Falcons were the only team in Air Force history to win road games at Notre Dame, Utah and Colorado State in the same season. The five-game turnaround from 2006, in which Air Force was 4-8, was the largest in the nation that season by a first-year head coach. The five-game turnaround was the best in school history since the 1958 team had a school-record turnaround of six games. Air Force's nine wins tied Calhoun for the most wins ever at a service academy by a first-year head coach, matching the mark set by Ben Martin in 1958. The six MWC wins set a new Academy standard and were two wins better than the previous mark for conference wins by a first-year head coach at the Academy. Calhoun was named the Mountain West Conference's Coach of the Year for his efforts. In addition, he was named Coach of the Year in Region 5 by the American Football Coaches Association and was one of eight finalists for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. He was also one of seven finalists for the AFCA National Coach of the Year award. Calhoun brought to Air Force a wealth of experience at the collegiate and professional levels that was flooded with success at every stop prior to the Academy. Calhoun came to the Academy after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans in 2006. The Texans were one of only two NFL teams to triple their number of wins from the previous year. The 2006 Texans were the last team to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on their way to the Super Bowl championship. On offense, the Texans had the NFL's leading receiver (Pro Bowler Andre Johnson with 103 catches), the NFL's best quarterback completion percentage (68.4 percent) and their quarterback tied a NFL record against Buffalo with 22 straight completions. Calhoun became a well-rounded NFL coach, working as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos from 2003-05. He began his NFL coaching career by serving on the defensive side of the ball in 2003. He helped coach the NFL's fourth-best defense. The Broncos' defense ranked seventh against the run and sixth against the pass. Denver's defense yielded a mere 17.6 points per game as they made the playoffs for the first time since 2000. In 2004, Calhoun moved to become an assistant on offense and worked with the special teams. The offense ranked fifth in the NFL, averaging 395.8 yards per game. Calhoun worked closely with Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan in the 2005 season, serving as the assistant to the head coach. The Broncos won the AFC West title for the 10th time in their history and played for the AFC Championship game for the first time in seven seasons. Their 14-4 record was the best since Denver finished the 1998 season as winners of Super Bowl XXXIII. The offense finished fifth in the NFL averaging 360.4 yards per game. The defense was stout against the run, finishing second in the NFL with 85.2 yards per game. Denver finished with an undefeated record at home during the regular season for the fifth time in team history. During Calhoun's three years in Denver, the Broncos made the playoffs every season, averaging over 11 wins a year. Prior to the NFL, Calhoun was an offensive coordinator for six seasons on the collegiate level. He began his coaching career at Air Force, where he worked as a graduate assistant from 1989-90. He started at quarterback for the Academy in 1986 and was one of only two freshmen to letter for the 1985 team. Calhoun served his country from 1989-95 as an active duty officer in the Air Force. He was an assistant coach for the Falcons in 1993-94. He moved to Ohio University in the spring of 1995 where he served as the quarterbacks coach for two seasons. Calhoun was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1997. During his first season at the helm, the offense totaled 612 yards against Eastern Michigan, second-most in school history. The Bobcats defeated Maryland in 1997, marking the school's first win against a team from the ACC in school history. The `97 Bobcats' 8-3 record was the school's best in 29 years. During his last season at Ohio in 2000, the Bobcats beat two bowl teams, Minnesota and Marshall, for the first time in school history. Calhoun's 2000 offense set a school record with 418.1 yards per game. Calhoun moved to Wake Forest in 2001. The Demon Deacons were one of only seven teams in the country to score more than 30 points in each of the final four games. During his second season, Wake led the ACC in total offense with 408.1 yards per game. His offense had a league-best 990 plays and was efficient with the ball, committing only 16 turnovers, fewest in the ACC. The 2001 season culminated with a 38-17 bowl victory over Oregon to give Wake Forest its first back-to-back winning seasons since the ACC expanded from eight teams. Calhoun was raised in a home where both kids graduated from the Air Force Academy and were varsity letter winners on nationally-ranked teams. Calhoun's younger sister, Callie, is a 1991 Academy graduate. She was a 10-time track and cross country All-American who won six NCAA national titles. Troy Calhoun graduated from the Academy in 1989 as a member of the superintendent's list by earning over a 3.0 grade point average along with a military performance average of better than 3.0. He also completed a master's in business administration (MBA) from Oklahoma City University in 1992. He and his wife, Amanda, live in Colorado Springs and have two children, Tyler (12) and Amelia (10). Troy and Amanda Calhoun have a strong respect and affinity for the members of our armed services and are very involved with numerous charitable and community endeavors. CALHOUN'S COACHING LEDGER

WEDNESDAY, April 4 (HealthDay News) -- Antibodies to HIV-1 proteins may play a role in the efficacy of HIV-1 vaccination, according to a study published in the April 5 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Barton F. Haynes, M.D., from the Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, N.C., and colleagues conducted a case-control analysis to identify the antibody and cellular immune correlates of infection risk in vaccinees from the RV144 trial. To investigate the roles of T-cell, immunoglobulin (Ig) G, and IgA antibody responses in the modulation of HIV infection risk through 42 months of follow-up, six antibody or cellular assays were performed on 41 vaccinees who became infected and 205 uninfected vaccinees.
The researchers identified two variables significantly associated with infection risk. There was an inverse association between the binding of IgG antibodies to variable regions 1 and 2 (V1V2) of HIV-1 envelope proteins (Env) and the rate of HIV infection (estimated odds ratio, 0.57 per one standard deviation increase). In addition, there was a direct correlation between the binding of plasma IgA antibodies to Env and the rate of infection (estimated odds ratio, 1.54 per one standard deviation increase).
"This immune-correlates study generated the hypotheses that V1V2 antibodies may have contributed to protection against HIV-1 infection, whereas high levels of Env-specific IgA antibodies may have mitigated the effects of protective antibodies," the authors write. "Vaccines that are designed to induce higher levels of V1V2 antibodies and lower levels of Env-specific IgA antibodies than are induced by the RV144 vaccine may have improved efficacy against HIV-1 infection."
Several authors disclosed involvement with patents related to HIV/AIDS vaccination.

Represented by Scott Looper,
the students in Section A of Class of 2009 presented
the Library "a friendly, unsolicited hug" in the form of a check. This unsolicited gift is meaningful to the Library

A library's catalog connects its library users and the
materials in its collection. The online catalog of the UH Libraries System covers collections in
the M. D. Anderson Library, Architecture & Art Library, Law Library, Music
Library, Optometry Library, Pharmacy Library, UH Clear Lake Library, UH
Downtown Library, and UH Victoria Library, with a total of more than 370,000
bibliographic records. It is a tremendous
resource for the researcher.
As a database, the library
catalog consists of individual bibliographic
records of each title acquired to further the studying and researching of
law. Each record contains several access
points, such as author, title, or subject. In other
words, one can search the catalog for the desired material if one knows the
author, title, subjects and/or keywords of what one is looking for. It pays to be able to use the catalog
you are a frequent user of the UH library online catalog, you may be familiar
with the template below, which is the first item on the first page of the UH
Library Catalog (http://library.uh.edu/).

for an item by author and title is easy if the information you have is accurate
and precise. If, however, the
information you have is not accurate, or if you only have some idea of the
subject area of material you need, you should employ keyword searching.

For example, to search for items on

one box and "arbitration" in another box, the search result will bring the
eight titles below.
Four of these titles are theses written by the
graduates from UH
In order to search more
effectively, one can conduct a Boolean search by pulling down the connector menu to choose
from "And", "And not", and "Or". If we
enter one more keyword "
so many library users turn to Google for their research, Google search cannot
substitute for the library catalog. The

search similarly formulated results in 22 entries, including long lists of
library acquisitions, UHLC-IPIL Degree Offerings, UHLC Fall 2007 Course
Schedule, Law Center Courses, and Cullen College of Engineering CIVE Courses, and
etc. But none of them includes a list of
UHLC theses about arbitration. There is
a good reason why expert researchers such as Mr. Peter Egler, the Head of
Reference at O'Quinn Law Library, uses keyword search frequently when he
searches for library material.

Scalene regional anesthesia for shoulder surgery in a community setting: an assessment of risk. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12004020 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: A retrospective review of shoulder procedures using scalene block anesthesia was performed. METHODS: The records of all 218 patients who had undergone scalene block anesthesia over a three-year period at two facilities were retrospectively reviewed. All blocks were performed with use of a standard blunt-needle technique with the patient awake and with use of preoperative nerve stimulation to localize the brachial plexus. RESULTS: Adjunctive general anesthesia was used for 179 (82%) of the 218 patients. Seventy-two patients (33%) required intravenous pain medication immediately on arrival in the recovery room, and twenty-eight blocks (13%) failed. One grand mal seizure, one episode of cardiovascular collapse, and four episodes of severe respiratory distress were noted. Two patients had temporary neurologic injuries that persisted at six weeks. The mean duration of the block was 9 +/- 4.6 hours. Two hundred (92%) of the 218 patients required parenteral narcotics despite the use of scalene block anesthesia. CONCLUSION: Informed consent discussions regarding scalene block anesthesia should include information on the prevalence of complications and the efficacy of the technique. |

You'll notice from the title of this post that I personally feel the main attraction of the ubiquitous Red Lobster seafood chain is the fact that they hand out those sorta greasy, sorta cheesy biscuits. Those babies are mmmm, mmmm good. For those counting at home, that's an 2x4mmmm recommendation, which means they're really good.
The rest of the food? So-so. If you like your seafood battered, fried or soaked in butter and served as a big ol' smorgasbord of oceanic goodness, you're probably a Red Lobster fan. If you're living in flyover country and can't get much in the way of fishy chow elsewhere, it's also an okay choice.
Me? I have this thing about fish. I love it, but will generally order it only when I am within sight of the waters from which it was caught. There's something that happens when fish goes from fresh, to frozen, to defrosted, to cooked to served that just doesn't work for me. Again, though, not everyone lives on the coast. Thus, Red Lobster serves an important function. It's the only seafood contact much of the American interior has.
Red Lobster is generally a pretty affordable joint, all things considered. Yeah, it will cost you more than a trip to Chili's, Fridays, etc. Those places, however, are more reliant on cheaper and readily-available stuff than is Big Red. When it's chicken vs. halibut, you can bet that the chicken will cost less.
The nice thing, though, is that you can use Red Lobster coupons to equalize the price points. In some cases, you might net a good enough coupon to make Red Lobster cheaper than its chain-restaurant counterparts.
You can start by heading over to RL's own wesbsite and signing up for their "Fresch Catch Club". This is the restaurant's version of a customer loyalty program. It gives yout the chance to buy gift cards and gift coupons for others, and will also give you access to occasional Red Lobster coupons. They also send you some sort of super-special offer if you decide to celebrate your birthday there.
Once you've done that, hit up the online coupon sites like SlickDeals or RetailMeNot. There are many different Red Lobster coupons floating around out there. Some are "buy one, get one" deals, but most are just a flat $4 or $5 off your purchase. That's enough to make up the difference between a Red Lobster meal and a trip to Applebee's or some place like that.
There's something you DON'T want to do when pursuing Red Lobster bargains. Don't accept a RL gift card when you're being subjected to a pitch for a travel club or some other similar arrangement. Apparently, the bad guys use this as a way to claim that you've used their services and that may contractually entitle them to bill you big bucks. You can read more about this nasty bit of chicanery if you'd like, but the big ol' takeaway on this one is: Don't sign anything in order to get yourself some free Red Lobster–or anything else for that matter.
I've also seen the $50 Red Lobster card used in those "free" online giveaways. The catch is that you generally have to get involved with some other potentially underhanded business endeavor before you get your card and it's usually just as sneaky as the travel club gambit. In the immortal words of everyone from your father to Milton Friedman, "There's not such thing as a free lunch". Even at Red Lobster.
One last big of advice. Sometimes, they're sort of stingy with those Cheddar Bay biscuits. Don't allow that to happen to you. Ask for them. Ask for a second plate, too. They're the best thing going at RL!

I have been using a recipe similar to this for years! I originally received it from the ladies at the church where I grew up. It is a sweet mustard sauce. I believe it is to offset the saltiness of the ham. The recipe I have calls for 4 egg yolks instead of whole eggs and they are not incorporated until the other ingredients have been blended together and heated up in a double boiler. I wouldn't change the sugar content at all! I am giving it 4 stars due to the egg content. Love this!
I had some leftover tomato soup that needed used so I decided to give this recipe a try. I scaled way back since it is only the two of us. I honestly didn't think this would turn out that great but I was pleasantly surprised. I do recommend cutting back on the sugar though because the tomato soup is pretty sweet itself. I would definitely make this again.
I made this into a casserole with some macaroni & leftover ham. then put cheese on top. really enjoyed it however little on the sweet side maybe next time reduce the sugar

I was invited here by friends who have been coming to phuket for years the food was amazing thats if you want something different than thai food for a change. But what ever you do, DON'T ask them to do anything different than what is on the menu. I asked them to slightly change a cocktail that was on the menu and that was so complicated that in the end it was easier to just have the one on the menu. But i will go back as the atmosphere, decor and staff were friendly enough!

Saturday's Badgers game was an emotional high, a come-from-behind, overtime victory against favored Arizona in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. It was one of those moments when you could hear cheers coming from every tavern door and most living rooms in Wisconsin.
It was a great feeling, and we were not the only ones to observe that it was nice to have all of Wisconsin united behind a collective cause. That's the nice thing about sports, sometimes: It is a part of culture we all can share, no matter how old you are or how much money you make, no matter your race or religion or political views.
Let's do it again Saturday.
Wisconsin's men's basketball team will face Kentucky in the NCAA's Final Four, the team's first appearance in the tourney's final rounds since 2000. The team started this season with a 16-0 run, then had a rough string where it lost five of six games in a row, and ended the season in second place in the Big Ten.
But the tournament has been kind to Bo Ryan's team this year, with Wisconsin shoring up its defense and 7-footer Frank Kaminsky performing magnificently.
This Kentucky team is tough and physical, not great on shooting (and about 33 percent from three-point range) but great at rebounding and offensively strong from inside.
It should be a fun, fast, high-scoring game. Go Badgers.
There are plenty of valid, valuable debates on the question of whether the athletes who are performing in the multibillion-dollar industry that is collegiate sports deserve to be paid. But all of those debates recede when the jump ball is thrown Saturday night. That's because basketball is a great game and the NCAA tournament is a great spectacle, with just enough randomness - being the higher-seeded team is no guarantee of victory - to make every game thrilling.
And it's also a reminder of the deep connection people have to the University of Wisconsin System, and to this state itself. Graduates harbor a sense of attachment to their alma mater. But even for those who didn't go to college in Madison, or who didn't go at all, Badger ties run deep.
Beat Kentucky, and then it's on to the championship. This will be fun.

Police say homeless man was peeping at young boys in library bathroom
EVANSVILLE - Evansville Police officers arrested a 46-year old man Sunday and accused him of using a cellphone to take video of an 11-year-old boy using a restroom inside Central Library.
Floyd P. Williams, who faces two preliminary counts of voyeurism, also reportedly watched an 8-year-old boy while he was in one of the stalls, according to the Evansville Police Department affidavit. According to that report, a female on-duty police officer observed Williams follow the 8-year-old boy into the restroom and asked a library employee to go see if there was anyone else in the restroom, The employee said Williams was alone with the boy, according to the report.
According to the report, Williams came out of the restroom shortly after the 8-year-old left but then followed an 11-year-old in.
Another witness who later went into the restroom while the pair was inside told the officer that he saw Williams peering into an opening between the stalls while the 11-year-old was inside, according to the report. The witness told police that Williams saw him and told him to leave. According to the report, the 11-year-old told the officer that Williams was holding up camera phone over the stall door pointed toward the boy.
According to the report, Detective Brian Turpin located Williams at the Evansville Rescue Mission, where Williams said he has been living, According to the report, Williams then went to police headquarters per Turpin's request. After initially denying the accusations, Williams admitted that he had a prior conviction for voyeurism in 2008 in Marion County, Ind. and told Turpin he had a problem, according to the report.
The report also states that Williams gave Turpin a thumb drive that he said had images and video from the incidents at the library

There are dozens of small gaps, cracks and holes around your electrical outlets, plumbing and electric lines. In fact, there are so many holes that when added together, they equal the size of an open door that allows the outside air to come right in. Using spray foam insulation to fill these gaps can drive down energy costs by as much as 30%, and give your heater/air conditioner the break it deserves.

It's being marketed as not the average runway show but a multi-faceted approach to fashion. Not a debut, but a revitalization.
Brian Cresson, the 30-year-old designer behind his Free Ego brand, presents two art-forward events this weekend to launch his new line, "Struggle." The vibe is accessible, tongue-in-cheek street wear. Four designs will be debuted with varying background color and shirt combinations, including women's and unisex tank tops, T-shirts, and baseball-style Ts. The show features the traditional hand-on-hip, turn-and-pout modeling synonymous with the runway, but it also includes a collaborative theatrical performance with Liliana Gomez of Phoenix Center for the Arts — all of which coincides, not coincidentally, with downtown's monthly First Friday event and Art Detour 26.
1022 W Grand Ave
Phoenix, AZ 85007
Category: Art Galleries
Region: Central Phoenix
Free Ego presents "Struggle" from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, March 7, and Saturday, March 8, at the Lab Pop-Up Gallery, 1022 West Grand Avenue. Admission and street parking are free. Visit www.facebook.com/events/502217863221149.

West Bromwich Albion's loan signing Jay Simpson told the Express & Star newspaper on 24th January 2009 that he "grew up in Tottenham and my dads a Spurs fan but I was always an Arsenal fan I used to play for Norwich and then Roy Massey, who was Academy director at the time, was offered a job at Arsenal.The new guy who came in let all of us go and Roy took me down to Arsenal, where I have been ever since.
He was 9 when he joined Arsenal and progressed through the youth teams, playing for the Under-18s at the age of 13. He featured prominently for Arsenal's reserve team and was on the bench for the first team's Carling Cup match against West Bromwich Albion on 24th October 2006, but did not play. On 19th February 2007 he made history by becoming the first player ever to score a hat trick at the Emirates Stadium, for Arsenal's U18 side in an FA Youth Cup match against Cardiff City, in a 32 win
In August 2007 he was loaned from Arsenal to Millwall, for whom he made his first-team debut as a substitute in a League One match on 1st September 2007, a 21 defeat to Huddersfield Town. He scored his debut goal in a 32 loss to Swansea City in the first round of the Southern Section of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on 4th September 2007, and his first league goal in a 21 defeat to Swindon Town on 29th September 2007.. His loan was extended to the end of the season and he scored 6 goals in 41 appearances.
He returned to Arsenal despite speculation that he would go out on loan to other clubs including Norwich.
He made his Arsenal first-team debut in a 60 win over Sheffield United in the League Cup, coming on as a substitute for Nicklas Bendtner in the 71st minute. He scored his first two senior Arsenal goals in the Carling Cup home match against Wigan on 11th November 2008, in what was his first senior start for the club
After signing a new contract with Arsenal in December 2008, he was loaned to West Bromwich Albion for the remainder of the 2008/9 season, making his debut on 3rd January 2009, coming on as a half-time substitute for Robert Koren in a 11 draw with Peterborough United in the FA Cup third round. He scored his first goal for West Bromwich Albion on 13th January, in the FA Cup 3rd round replay against Peterborough. His first Premier League goal was scored on 31st January in the 22 draw against Hull City.
Jay was loaned to QPR at the end of August 2009 for the 2009/10 season. He made 39 league appearances for QPR scoring 12 goals, plus 2 appearances in the cups which generated a further goal
On 19th August 2010, Simpson signed a three-year contract with Championship team Hull City. He made his debut after starting in a 00 with Watford on 21st August 2010
On 31st August 2011, Jay returned to London signing on loan for Millwall until January 2012
Simpson was one of 12 players released by Hull in early May 2013 following their promotion to the Premier League. The forward managed just 13 goals in 85 games for the club
On 30th September, he signed for Thai Premier League side Buriram United on a two-year contract with the option of a further year worth a reported €47,000 a month, making him the highest paid player of all time in the TPL. The 24-year-old striker was reportedly targeted by the likes of Turkish side Gaziantepspor after he was released by Hull City in the summer, but has opted to join the Thai outfit currently coached by former Real Madrid assistant Alejandro Menendez.
Simpson returned to London on 31st July 2014 signing a three year contract with Leyton Orient.
Jay has been capped for the England Under-17 and England Under-18 sides

'It's about a civilization, the collapse of a civilization' – Damien Hirst.
Opened yesterday at London's Tate Modern, the new Damien Hirst exhibition is the first major UK show by the London-based artist. Regarded as one of the most important contemporary artist in the UK, this major retrospective examines two decades of work by the controversial Goldsmith graduate, spanning from the late eighties to the present day. Over 70 of pieces of art are shown at the Tate and include key installations, paintings and sculptures tackling profound issues such as religion, life/ death, belief and value systems- all key subjects for the infamous artist. A space full of live butterflies, a room kitted out as a pharmacy and of course, Hirst's highly debated diamond encrusted platinum skull (claimed to have sold for a staggering 50 million GBP in 2008) are all on show at this fascinating exhibition, providing a captivating look into a contemporary artist mind as well as an enthralling reflection on modern culture. – Anna Jacobsen

Atlantic City Closer to Upgrading Police Technology
Atlantic City took a crucial step toward upgrading its antiquated police technology Tuesday -- more than a year and a half after the CRDA granted it $3.5 million for the project.
Eight requests for qualifications were opened at the Purchasing Board meeting in an attempt to hire a consultant that will lead the rebuilding of the Police Department's technology, including a new records management system and a computer-aided dispatch, or CAD, which is how dispatchers log calls. A consultant is the first major expense from the grant awarded by the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority in September 2011.
"This is monumental for us," Public Safety Director Willie Glass said soon after the names of the eight companies were read at the meeting. "This is going to get the expert in this subject matter."
While Atlantic City has the highest crime rate in Atlantic County, it also has the least technology aiding its crime fighting. In February 2011, The Press of Atlantic City did a report showing how far behind its technology was compared to other departments. Not only were they unable to map crime, analyze data and detect trends electronically, but -- until a few months later -- there were not even computers in any of the patrol cars.
"I've seen very lean organizations," then-newly hired Technology Director Bernadette Kucharczuk said at the time. "But this is the leanest."
Because the system basically needs to be rebuilt from the bottom, public safety leaders have been adamant that they want to make sure the grant money is spent well.
Now, Kucharczuk and her staff will go over the submissions and then receive proposals for those who make the cut. After everything is gone over by Information and Technology along with the Police Department and Solicitor's Office, it will go up for vote before City Council. A time line has not been given.
"This is the process," Glass said. "This was one of the critical steps we needed to take."
What the consultant would cost also has not been determined.
The eight businesses include just one local company, Perfect Solutions Inc. in Northfield. The others were from Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Cranbury, Middlesex County.
"It's been a long process just to get here," said acting Deputy Chief Bill Mazur, who has been the department's liaison for the project.
After the CRDA awarded the money, which had been promised for quite some time, it was eight more months before City Council accepted it as the city and CRDA worked out a memorandum of understanding for the spending.
In that time, just $17,000 of the money has been spent -- used for the tip411 system, which allows people to anonymously text police information, including having a two-way discussion. The system erases any identifying information to make sure the tipster remains anonymous. Anyone with information just texts tip411 (or 847411) and then begins their text with ACPD, so it goes to the right place.
While the public has been slow to trust the anonymity aspect, police have said some good tips have come through the system in the nearly nine months it has been live.
The city also signed an agreement with the IJIS Institute last year. The nonprofit group of information technology companies matches public agencies, such as the city, with the private sector to assist with information and technology sharing. It was originally called the Integrated Justice Information Systems Institute, but now just goes by its initials.
There is no cost. IJIS also helps with acquiring grants, Mazur said.
They have reported to the city on what they observed and what they see is lacking. The city will send back revisions to that draft. The final report will then be made public

Children with hemochromatosis have problems breaking down iron. Iron builds up in the liver and causes liver enlargement. Then, other organs become affected. The disease may lead to the development of diabetes, skin pigment changes, cardiac problems, arthritis, cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, hypopituitarism, chronic abdominal pain, severe fatigue and increased risk of certain bacterial infections.
Small amounts of iron are normally stored in the liver, kidneys and heart. Excess iron can damage these organs. Neonatal hemochromatosis is when the liver becomes diseased while a baby is in his mother's womb, which can lead to endstage liver disease at birth.
The goal of treatment is to remove excess iron from the body and to give supportive treatment to damaged organs.

I worry about people who need to find flaws in other people to feel better about themselves. I hope that the person that posted that awful comment will find the help that they need. When someone truly loves themselves, there is no way that they could be that hateful to others. Kjersten, you are beautiful and wonderful! Keep it up girl!
ReplyDelete I'm surprised you didn't mention the awful convention of bride dress sizing. Unlike everyday wear, bridal gown manufacturers have not succumbed to the pressure to use size inflation to stroke our egos. A girl who normally wears a size 12 might be looking at wearing a size 20 gown to get married in. This is inhumane. However, the bridal gown makers have it right. Sizes should remain constant, no matter how much the average body size in the US increases. Otherwise, when 8's become 4's and 4's become size 0's, how are us smaller people supposed to find clothes that we can wear - in the kid department?

Funny mentioning the kid department. Being 5' nothing, I still by some of my tshirts in the kids department, and most of my shoes instead of being the normal adult line are the girl line.

Loans to the private sector in the eurozone fell 0.8% in November, extending October's decline, the European Central Bank reported. The data suggest more interest-rate cutting by the central bank is in order. "The concern is that a number of companies who do want to borrow ... and are in decent shape are finding it hard to, so tight credit conditions are handicapping eurozone growth prospects," IHS Global Insight economist Howard Archer said.

The Huey Brothers of Punxsutawney placed second in the 10 and under division of the Groundhog Tournament last weekend. The team includes (front, from left) Austin Ewing, Derek Huey, Willie Hoover, Conner Giavedoni, Daren Byers; (middle) Ethan Blose, Dylan Ishman, Andrew Britton, Isaac Stouffer, Logan Johnston; (back) manager Mark Ewing, coach Mike Ishman and coach Eric Britton.
With the NFL Player's Association and the owners reaching an agreement last week and training camps and free agency already in full swing, I know that football should be the only thing on my mind. Strangely, though, the only things I can think about are baseball and softball.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — After losing the first championship game early Monday afternoon, Punxsy's 13- and 14-year old VFW Teener League All-Stars bounced back to win the winner-take-all championship game in the late afternoon to earn the title of state champs.
Trailing 4-1, Punxsy scored nine runs in the top of the fourth inning to take a 10-4 lead.
The big inning would prove to be enough as Brycen Paulinellie pitched a complete game, allowing six runs on nine hits and striking out ten, to earn the 14-6 win.
The Punxsy Scrappers placed second in the 12 and under division of the Groundhog Little League Baseball Tournament last weekend. The team includes (front, from left) Canaan Knox, Tyler Getch, Lance Pennington, Brandon Matthews; (middle) Tyler Richardson, Jacob Tyger, Kevin Hutton, Jacob Weaver, Sammy Gigliotti, Trenton Stouffer; (back) coach Tim Tyger, Brady Snyder, Devin Kelly, coach Kevin Knox, Drew Maines and manager Brad Gigliotti. Missing from photo: Brett Buck.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Punxsy's 13- and 14-year old VFW Teener League All-Stars are one win away from the state championship after defeating Schuylkill County East All-Stars, 10-6, in the winners' bracket championship game Sunday afternoon in Punxsutawney.
With the win, Punxsy advanced to the state championship game against Schuylkill East today at 11 a.m. at Rich Kuntz Memorial Field. If Punxsy wins, it will be state champs, but if Punxsy loses, another game will be necessary to decide the champion. If needed, that game will be played immediately after the first today.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Huey Brothers of Punxsutawney (10 and under) and the Punxsy Scrappers (12 and under) won second place at the Groundhog Baseball Tournament this weekend.
Both teams went 4-1 through the tournament, losing only their final games.
The Huey Brothers were taken down by Williams Sanitation/Servco of Brookville, and the Scrappers were ousted by Clarion.
The Huey Brothers began their tournament Friday night, claiming victory over the Clymer All-Stars, 14-2 in four innings. The game was highlighted by Isaac Stouffer, who had a two-run homer in the first.
DUBOIS — The Rossiter Miners defeated the DuBois Rockets Saturday night to force a fifth game in the championship series of the Federation League, but DuBois won the fifth and championship-clinching game, 6-4, Sunday in Dubois to claim the title.
Rossiter took an early 2-0 lead with two runs in the top of the second without recording a hit thanks to one walk by DuBois pitcher Ben McGary and three errors by DuBois' defense.
Miners' starting pitcher Tommy Bush faced only one batter more than the minimum through three innings, but DuBois jumped on him in the fourth.

Arizona Cardinals
Jay Gruden interviews for Arizona Cardinals head coaching position
TEMPE -- The Arizona Cardinals' search for a head coach is ongoing, and Thursday the team interviewed Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden for the vacant position.
"It was exciting," Gruden told the media following the interview. "It was great to meet Mr. Bidwill and his brother and of course the whole process has been exciting -- it's my first time going through it obviously and I'm very excited about it."
Gruden just finished up his second season as the Bengals' offensive mastermind, and talked about his decision to shun interview opportunities a year ago.
"The Brown family gave me an opportunity to be an offensive coordinator and I didn't want to jump ship after the first phone call," Gruden said. "I wanted to go in there and see Andy Dalton progress another year and see A.J. Green progress another year and see what we could do."
What the Bengals did with Gruden's help was qualify for the NFL playoffs for the second straight season -- something Cincinnati has done only once before in its 45-year existence. But Gruden didn't take the credit for that accomplishment.
"It's a great situation in Cincinnati," he said. "But I still feel like we underachieved a little bit on offense and we have to do a lot better up there. But to even be thought of as a head coach candidate is a great honor and I appreciate the Bidwills taking a chance."
Gruden doesn't have any NFL head coaching experience, but he has been the top man in two other leagues. In the Arena Football League, Gruden guided the Orlando Predators for nine seasons, compiling a 93-61 record and winning two league championships. He also served as the head coach of the Florida Tuskers in the United Football League in 2010, but didn't use those experiences as proof that he's ready to be a head coach in the NFL.
"Probably not a lot," Gruden responded when asked how NFL teams should value his AFL coaching experience. "Other than the fact that I had to deal with salary caps, I had to deal with flights, I had to deal with hotels, I had to deal with a guy's pregnant wife or whatever. There's a lot of issues you have to deal with when you have 27 guys -- now there's 53 guys and a lot more assistants, but there's always those issues you have to deal with.
"If you can manage people and coach them up and get them to play hard and work hard for you, then you've got a chance, no matter what profession you're in."
Of course, the 900-pound gorilla in the room for any head coaching candidate that comes to town to meet with the Cardinals is the quarterback situation. The team went through four starting quarterbacks for the first time in franchise history and that alone had a lot to do with their dismal 5-11 record.
"There are a lot of teams looking for quarterbacks right now like Tom Brady, and there's not many of them out there," Gruden said. "It's important to try to develop somebody you have in-house or continue to look for a quality, top-notch guy and if you don't have that guy, then you have to develop the skill-set the guys you have have."
Of course, that's not something that Gruden has to worry about just yet. He's only talked with the Cardinals at this point and confirmed that his agent has scheduled an interview with the Philadelphia Eagles next week.

This episode was from the same taping as Show No. 104. This included a second Duet by Brad and Wayne and Drew's line about American made TVs.
(in DTS)
Brad: Are you a man or a woman?
Wayne: You'll have to guess. Ooh!
Brad: Oh, that's a test I'm not gonna take.
Drew: Hey, we have a big score from the last round. If you have a TV that's made in America, it'll appear right at the bottom of your screen.
Drew: (in Duet, after asking Sara what she did for a living) An auditor? Oh, I thought you said an otter.
(in Secret)
Ryan: Tarzan put on new loin cloth.
Colin: Tarzan couldn't put on...a good show!
(in Questions Only)
Wayne: Ecuador.
Brad: What? (laughter, buzzer)
Drew: (laughing) What's that? That's not even close!
Ryan: Ecuador?
Brad: What made you say, 'Ecuador?'
Ryan: Didn't you ask for a map?
Brad: Didn't I say I wanted a Labrador?
Drew: (after the game) That'll be 100 points to Wayne for 'Ecuador.'
Another example of ABC Family's arbitrary censoring practices: during the snoring Hoedown, Ryan's use of the word ass was bleeped out. Yet, in Episode 206, he ended that birth Hoedown by saying he came out ass first and did not get bleeped.
In the snoring Hoedown he mentions snoring covers up his wifes moans and nearly cracks up; suprisingly it wasn't censored.
Secret, a game played pretty frequently in the last few years of the British run, is played for the first time on the American show.
Despite being on the show together for the entire US run, this is the first time Brad and Wayne sang in the same Hoedown.

Comparison of vibration mitigation controllers for adaptive optics systems |
Applied Optics, Vol. 51, Issue 19, pp. 4520-4535 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1681 KB)
Vibrations are detrimental to the performance of modern adaptive optics (AO) systems. In this paper, we describe new methods tested to mitigate the vibrations encountered in some of the instruments of the Gemini South telescope. By implementing a spectral analysis of the slope measurements from several wavefront sensors and an imager, we can determine the frequencies and magnitude of these vibrations. We found a persistent vibration at 55 Hz with others occurring occasionally at 14 and 100 Hz. Two types of AO controllers were designed and implemented, Kalman and

A January 2008 report by the National Priorities Project indicates that the U.S., to date, has spent $495 billion on the War in Iraq. According to political scientist Chalmers Johnson, "The military adventurers of the Bush administration have much in common with the corporate leaders of the defunct energy company Enron. Both groups of men thought that they were the 'smartest guys in room'... (However), the neoconservatives in the White House and the Pentagon outsmarted themselves. They failed even to address the problem of how to finance their schemes of imperialist wars and global domination."
When George W. Bush assumed the presidency in January 2001, the national debt was approximately $5.7 trillion. Today that debt exceeds $9 trillion. If one assumes a 5 percent interest rate for future payments, the Bush debt will require the government to pay its creditors, including the Japanese and Chinese, some $200 billion a year indefinitely, even before any of the nation's pressing health, education, employment and infrastructure problems are addressed. The Bush administration's record is, to say the least, hypocritical given the Republican mantra that Democrats are "tax and spend liberals," while its own policy of " borrow and spend" has dug the country's economy into a seemingly endless morass.
More and more Americans are facing up to the connection between the incredible costs of the Iraq war and an economy which is seriously damaging local communities throughout the country. A Feb. 9 Associated Press poll found that most Americans think ending the war is the best way to help the economy. In contrast, many journalists and others in the media continue to treat the war and the economy as unrelated matters.
According to Johnson, there are three key components of the U.S. debt crisis. First, we have been spending outlandish amounts of money in Iraq and on other "defense" related projects which bear little relationship to genuine homeland security. The recently proposed 2009 Pentagon budget calls for $515.4 billion, which when adjusted for inflation, will exceed the highest annual level of spending since World War II. This proposal will be the 11th year of constant increases in the military budget, and does not include billions of other supplemental spending on current war efforts, nuclear weapons or other "black budget" items.
Second, the administration and many members of Congress somehow believe we can counteract the rapid destruction of our manufacturing base and the continuing loss of U.S. jobs through massive military expenditures, or so called military Keynesianism — " the mistaken belief that public policies focused on frequent wars, huge expenditures on weapons and munitions, and large standing armies can indefinitely sustain a wealthy capitalist economy," Johnson said.
In reality, the opposite is true. Ultimately, military Keynesianism feathers the nests of war profiteers and deprives the economy of useful production, distribution and consumption of products which people actually need, and which provide a healthy stimulus and multiplier effect for the economy. According to economist Dean Baker, "It is often believed that wars and military spending increases are good for the economy. In fact, most economic models show that military spending diverts resources from productive uses, such as consumption and investment, and ultimately slows economic growth and reduces employment."
Third, in our blind dedication to militarism, we have seriously neglected investment in our social and physical infrastructures. Needed expenditures for health, public education and other aspects of human development have been frighteningly neglected, while our roads, bridges and other facilities have dangerously deteriorated. Additionally, former Labor Secretary Robert Reich notes that "Among the 13 wealthiest nations, America now ranks last or next to last in infant mortality, low birth weight, and life expectancy. (And) some 5.3 million more Americans are living in poverty than when (George W.) Bush became president."
In short, proliferate military spending and the ongoing occupation of Iraq is wasting resources which are required to get our economy moving again. As we continue to borrow $343 million a day to finance the war in Iraq, our escalating debt will be a continuing drag on the economy while passing on an incredible debt to future generations. Economic forecasts will be bleak as long as we pour billions into an illegal, reckless war that has no end in sight. And while some think "It's the economy, stupid", in truth "It's the WAR economy, stupid."

The Mod Dots Bag is a great large bag to carry and is an easy knit. The dots are done in duplicate stitch which results in a 3D look after felting. It has pleats on each end, and can be lined. In fact, I suggest encasing plastic canvas and a flexi frame closure in the lining for a great structured look.
You can knit garter or I cord handles, or purchase the handles of your choice from your LYS.

This is the time of year I dread the most when memories come flooding back to haunt It was now you were taken far too young sixteen mainly wonderful years together Yes we had many many ups and a few downs life always seemed so sweet and fun I sit here remembering so many moments that are now frozen in time but special There are some tears both in my eyes, on my cheeks yet in the hush of night I still feel you close know you are waiting on the other side of the curtain soon when my time comes we will be reunited forever Until that time I will soldier on with life take what comfort I can from family and friends try to live a full life as best as I can I know you would wish me to move on, start again Yes I have tried, but no-one is you, not even close I can't settle for less not when I once had the best my one true soul mate, my forever and eternal only love So I cherish the precious memories as I wait to reunite bless you darling, my heart my love I lost Pat in September 2006
