SEDALIA — Missouri is offering $8.7 million of incentives to a Sedalia energy company for an expansion that Gov. Jay Nixon says could add more than 300 jobs.
Nixon highlighted the incentive package Wednesday for ProEnergy Services. He said the company plans to spend $25.7 million over the next three years to expand its facilities, including several buildings to be used for the assembly, storage and service of turbine engines.
Much of the state aid will be in the form of Quality Jobs tax breaks, which are provided to companies that add jobs with at least average wages and health benefits.
ProEnergy Services employs about 1,000 people and also has offices in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and several foreign countries.

COLUMBIA — For Jordan Morcom, diving comes with an ease most people find while riding a bike.
At least that's what Missouri diving coach Jamie Sweeney claims about his freshman star. Morcom may make diving look as effortless as a Sunday trail ride, but rarely does a typical bike ride take place 10 feet above the ground and involve two and a half twists in the air.
Sweeney's point remains, however. Morcom has mastered making the difficult look easy.
In just her first month of collegiate competition, the freshman from Grapevine, Texas, used her extensive diving history and past successes to overcome the transition to college and became the Big 12 Conference Diver of the Month for October.
That extensive history began at age 8 when Morcom's parents received a newsletter from her elementary school about diving lessons. The Morcoms thought that the lessons would be a perfect outlet for their energetic daughter.
"I had always been an acrobatic girl," Morcom said. "I could never just walk. I always had to tumble around the house. I was always so hyper, so my parents thought I should try it."
The simple suggestion landed Morcom at the diving club that she would be a part of for the next decade. From then until she arrived at MU, Morcom never changed coaches and was surrounded by many of the same athletes.
Much of that time was spent competing at the highest levels of youth diving in the United States. Morcom was a member of the U.S. Junior National Team while in Texas, and participated in the Junior Olympics program in the 16-and-under age group.
But all the diving success in the world couldn't have prepared Morcom for her biggest challenge — college life.
"Senior year of high school, you're in a grade, and you know everyone in your grade," she said. "You're in one spot, one school. Here, you're in different building for each class, and you don't really know anyone."
With time, however, Morcom's personality and willingness to branch out made the uneasiness turn into a freedom that she has come to enjoy.
"I've always been an outgoing girl," she said. "I didn't really change my attitude. I kept it the same. I was loud, and I like to meet people anyway. It was a good experience."
While Morcom admits that it took a few months to acclimate to college, her transition in swimming was much quicker. Morcom says her teammates made her feel "like part of the family" right away, and Sweeney's approach to coaching was a welcomed change from her club coach who was particularly intense.
"Jamie's more inspirational," Morcom said. "He's more upbeat. He's with you 100 percent. He's always motivating you."
After her first week of competition, it looks like that motivation is paying dividends.
Morcom swept the 1- and 3-meter dives against No. 9 Texas A&M on Oct. 23, and teamed with senior Kendra Melnychuk to win gold in the 3-meter dive at the next day's Big 12 Relays.
According to Sweeney though, it has less to do with his motivation and more with the constant success that Morcom has experienced.
"She comes to college, and it doesn't really matter that it's another arena," Sweeney said. "She's been winning her whole life, so she just expects that she's supposed to win."
In meeting those expectations, Morcom was named the Big 12 Diver of the Month after just two collegiate meets.
"It was exhilarating," Morcom said of the award. "It was so exciting because I'd only been to two competitions. For all the Big 12 coaches to nominate me, it was a big deal."
Three days after receiving the honor Morcom proved that her success wouldn't be limited to a single month. Morcom scored a 298.58 in the 3-meter competition, earning another individual victory in MU's win over Kansas on Nov. 1.
With so many top finishes this early in her career, it would be easy for Morcom and her coaches to become complacent. But Sweeney's expectations for the freshman don't stop with dual-meet victories.
"To be honest with you, how hard she's trained through the years is why she's being successful right now," he said. "But in terms of what I'm trying to do with her, where me and her are trying to go, to peak, we've only just begun. We're not even close to this being the climax of her career. We haven't even started."

Acute myocardial infarction after capecitabine treatment: not always vasospasm is responsible. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22964337 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Capecitabine is an orally available chemotherapeutic agent that is converted to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) after absorbtion. Capecitabine and its active metabolite, 5-FU, have cardiotoxic effects with reported instances of acute coronary syndromes caused due to coronary vasospasm. However, these agents exert toxic effects on cardiovascular system and beyond vasospasm provacation. We report a 46-year-old patient diagnosed as acute inferior infarction who is treated with capecitabine for 3 months due to metastatic breast carcinoma, in whom thrombotic coronary occlusion was observed in angiography. This case demonstrates that apart from vasospasm, coronary thrombosis could be observed after capecitabine treatment, with a possible direct effect of this drug. |

Who is calling the plays on Offense?, they should be shot.
I watched in awe as they dismantled OSU last night. It's like nothing I've ever seen. I started wondering in the middle of the 3rd quarter what the score would be if we played them. I'm guess it would take them an average of 4 plays to score each possession. I'm also guessing they would stifle our offense, because they pretty much hammered away at OSU the whole 2nd half. I think it would be close to this: Texas Tech 113 ISU 17

It's going to come down to which feel you like the most, and because of that, I think you should demo all three side by side.
Lead tape can help enlarge the sweetspot. 10 & 2 will raise it, 3 & 9 will make it wider and improve stability a tad more.

Persian leopard

Phylum: | Chordata |
Class: | Mammalia |
Order: | Carnivora |
Family: | Felidae |
Genus: | Panthera |
Species: | P. pardus |

Trinomial name | |
Panthera pardus ciscaucasica Satunin, 1914 |
The Persian leopard (Panthera pardus ciscaucasica syn. Panthera pardus saxicolor), also called the Caucasian leopard, is the largest leopard subspecies, and is native to northern Iran, eastern Turkey, the Caucasus mountains, southern Turkmenistan, and parts of western Afghanistan. It is endangered throughout its range with fewer than 871–1,290 mature individuals and a declining population trend.[1] Leopards possibly also occur in northern Iraq.[2]
A phylogenetic analysis suggests that the Persian leopard matrilineally belongs to a monophyletic group that diverged from a group of Asian leopards in the second half of the Pleistocene.[3]
The Persian leopard is large, weighing up to 90 kg (200 lb), and light in color.[4] They vary in colouration; both pale and dark individuals are found in Iran.[5] The medium length of the body is 158 cm (62 in), of the tail 94 cm (37 in), and of the skull 192 mm (7.6 in).[6]
Biometric data collected from 25 female and male individuals in various provinces of Iran indicates average body length of 259 cm (102 in). A young male from northern Iran weighed 64 kg (141 lb).[7]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Leopards were most likely distributed once over the whole Caucasus, except for steppe areas. Surveys conducted between 2001 and 2005 confirmed that there are no more leopards in the western part of the Greater Caucasus, and that they survived only at a few sites in the eastern part. The largest populations survive in Iran.[8] The political and social changes in the former Soviet Union in 1992 caused a severe economic crisis and a weakening of formerly effective protection systems. Ranges of all wildlife were severely fragmented. The former leopard range declined enormously as leopards were persecuted and wild ungulates hunted. Inadequate baseline data and lack of monitoring programmes make it difficult to evaluate declines of mammalian prey species.[9]
As of 2008, of the estimated 871–1,290 mature leopards[1]
- 550–850 live in Iran, which is the leopard stronghold in Southwest Asia;[5]
- about 200–300 survive in Afghanistan, where their status is poorly known;
- about 78–90 live in Turkmenistan.
- fewer than 10–13 survive in Armenia;
- fewer than 10–13 survive in Azerbaijan;
- fewer than 10 survive in the Russian North Caucasus;
- fewer than 5 survive in Turkey;[10]
- fewer than 5 survive in Georgia;
- about 3–4 survive in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Persian leopards avoid deserts, areas with long-duration snow cover and areas that are near urban development.[11] Their habitat consists of subalpine meadows, broadleaf forests and rugged ravines from 600–3,800 m (2,000–12,500 ft) in the Greater Caucasus, and rocky slopes, mountain steppes, and sparse juniper forests in the Lesser Caucasus and Iran.[8] Only some small and isolated populations remain in the whole ecoregion. Suitable habitat in each range country is limited and most often situated in remote border areas. Local populations depend on immigration from source populations in the south, mainly in Iran.[12]
In Iran[edit]
Leopards are widely distributed in Iran, but more abundant in the northern part than in the southern part of the country.[5] They are present in 74 protected and non-protected areas, of which 69% are located in northern Iran. They are mainly found in the Alborz and the Zagros mountain ranges and throughout the northwestern region, which crosses these mountain chains. The Hyrcanian forests located in the north and along the Alborz mountain chain are considered as one of the most important habitats for leopards in the country. Their habitat comprises climates with temperatures ranging from −23 °C (−9 °F) to 49 °C (120 °F), but they are most often found in habitats with temperatures of 13 to 18 °C (55 to 64 °F), 0 to 20 days of ice cover per year and rainfall of more than 200 mm per year.[13]
With more than 3,500 km2 (1,400 sq mi), the Central Alborz Protected Area is one of the largest reserves in the country where leopards roam.[14] In the Sarigol National Park in northeastern Iran, four leopard families with two cubs each were identified during a survey carried out from 2005 to 2008. A male leopard was photographed in January 2008 spraying urine on a Berberis tree; he was photographed several times until mid-February in the same area.[15]
In Bamu National Park located northeast of Shiraz in Fars Province, camera trapping carried out from autumn 2007 to spring 2008 revealed seven individuals in a sampling area of 321.12 km2 (123.99 sq mi).[16]
In Armenia[edit]
In Armenia, people and leopards co-existed since the early prehistoric times. By the mid-20th century leopards were relatively common in the country's mountains.[17] Today, the leopard stronghold is the rugged and cliffy terrain of Khosrov State Reserve, located south-east of Yerevan on the south-western slopes of the Geghama mountains, where between October 2000 to July 2002 tracks of no more than 10 individuals were found in an area of 780 km2 (300 sq mi).[18] Leopards were known to live on the Meghri Ridge in the extreme south of Armenia, where only one individual was camera-trapped between August 2006 to April 2007, and no signs of other leopards were found during track surveys conducted over an area of 296.9 km2 (114.6 sq mi). The local prey base could support 4–10 individuals, but poaching and disturbance caused by livestock breeding, gathering of edible plants and mushrooms, deforestation and human-induced wild fires are so high that they exceed the tolerance limits of leopards.[19]
In Azerbaijan[edit]
Leopards are present in the Talysh Mountains in the far southeast, where their habitat is continuous with that on the Iranian side of the Talysh Mountains. They also survived in northwest Azerbaijan in the Akhar-Bakhar section of Ilisu State Reserve in the foothills of the Greater Caucasus until recently, but current numbers are extremely low.[12]
Despite occasional sightings, it was not clear whether leopards had been extinct in Azerbaijan by the late 1990s, until a specimen was camera-trapped in March 2007 in the Hirkan National Park.[20]
In September 2012, the first picture of a leopard was taken in the Zangezur National Park, and in October, camera traps recorded one in the Hirkan National Park as well.[21][22]
In May 2013, a female leopard was recorded on a camera-trap in the Zangezur National Park displaying signs of territorial behaviour. This prompted the Azerbaijan Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources to suggest an increase in the number of leopards in Azerbaijan in recent years.[23]
In Georgia[edit]
Since 1954, leopards were thought to be extinct in Georgia — killed by hunters.[24] In the winter of 2003, zoologists found footprints of a leopard in Vashlovani Reserve in southeastern Georgia and later camera-trapped one young male individual several times.[25] Leopard signs have also been found at two localities in Tusheti, the headwaters of the Andi Koisu and Assa rivers, bordering Dagestan.[12]
Over the last 60 years, there have been several sightings of leopards around the Tbilisi area and in the Shida Kartli province to the northwest of the capital. Leopards live primarily in dense forests, although several have been spotted in the lowland plains in the southeastern region of Kakheti in 2004.[citation needed]
In the North Caucasus[edit]
In the North Caucasus, signs of leopard presence have been found in the upper Andiyskoe and Avarskoye Koisu rivers in Dagestan. In Ingushetia, Ossetia, and Chechnya local people reported the presence of leopards. They apparently no longer occur in the Western Caucasus.[12] In April 2001, an adult female was shot on the border to Kabardino-Balkaria, her two cubs captured and taken to the Novosibirsk Zoo in Russia.[24]
Ecology and behaviour[edit]
The diet of the Persian Leopard varies depending on habitat. Their principal prey is ungulates such as Bezoar goat, roe deer, Goitered gazelle, West Caucasian tur, mouflon, urial, and wild boar. They also prey on smaller wildlife such as Crested porcupine and Cape hare, and occasionally attack livestock and herd dogs.[26][27]
Studies reveal that the presence of leopards in Iran is highly correlated with the presence of wild goat and wild sheep. Opportunistic predation on smaller prey species is also probable. An attack by a leopard on an onager was also recorded.[28]
Persian leopards are threatened by poaching, depletion of their prey base due to poaching, human disturbance such as presence of military and training of troops in border areas, habitat loss due to deforestation, fire, agricultural expansion, overgrazing, and infrastructure development.[12]
In Iran, primary threats are habitat disturbances followed by illegal hunting and excess of livestock in the leopard habitats. The leopards' chances for survival outside protected areas appear very slim.[29] Intensive dry condition in wide areas of leopard habitats in recent years is affecting leopard main prey species such as wild goat and wild sheep.[30] An assessment of the Persian leopard mortality rate in Iran revealed that 70% of leopard mortalities from 2007 to 2011 were a result of illegal hunting or poisoning, and 18% were due to road accidents.[31]
In the 1980s, anti-personnel mines were deployed along the northern part of the Iran-Iraq border to deter people from entering the area. Persian leopards roaming this area as well are safe from poachers and efforts for industrial development, but at least two individuals are known to have stepped on mines and been killed.[32]
Panthera pardus is listed in CITES Appendix I.[33]
In captivity[edit]
As of December 2011, there were 112 captive Persian leopards in zoos worldwide comprising 48 male, 50 female and 5 unsexed individuals less than 12 months of age within the European Endangered Species Programme.[34]
Recent studies have shown that these individuals are descendants of nine leopards, captured from countries in the Persian leopard's range some while ago.
Reintroduction projects[edit]
In 2009, a Persian Leopard Breeding and Rehabilitation Centre was created in the Sochi National Park, where two male leopards from Turkmenistan are being kept since September 2009, and two females from Iran since May 2010. Their descendants are planned to be released into the wild in the Caucasus Biosphere Reserve.[35][36]
In 2012, a pair of leopards was brought to the Persian Leopard Breeding and Rehabilitation Centre from Portugal's Lisbon Zoo. Two cubs were born there in July 2013. It is planned to release them into the wild after they have learned survival skills.[37]
Taxonomic history[edit]
The Russian explorer Satunin first described the Caucasian leopard P.p. ciscaucasica in 1914 on the basis of a specimen from the Kuban region of North Caucasus.[38] The British zoologist Pocock described specimens from different areas of Persia as P. p. saxicolor in 1927, recognizing the similarity to P.p. ciscaucasica.[39] Today, these names are considered synonyms.[24]

they push the update out? I'm calling it now. They love to **** over their existing customers in order to pull in new ones.
I'm running off contract on AT&T right now, and if they take their sweet time like they have been with updates I will be leaving for greener pastures.
We live in America my friend and what you described is a classic capitalist tactic. America is quite literally the definition of capitalism, however we're in luck, I don't remember who it was, but a suit at Microsoft said (in an interview) that its very likely that the update will be out before [Mango] devices are.
Edit: The reason I don't remember who it was that said that was because most of this stuff I read through the WP7 News app by seles games, and that app has many websites' feeds listed so if i can find it I'll post it.Last edited by Luisraul924; 06-08-2011 at 06:36 PM.
Yes and no; the update itself will likely "be ready" and code complete within a couple of weeks sometime in the early summer. With OEM and carrier testing happening between late summer and early autumn for a mid to late autumn release.
Edit: there were actually rumors stating that it was already RTM ready when they had the unveiling on the 24th, however Microsoft neither confirmed nor denied the rumors. - 06-08-2011, 07:38 PM #7
I'm hope they Don't screw us over like that. But I have a upgrade coming soon.

Well sorry, but you have to be a dumb *** if you are going to buy a new phone from AT&T, specifically because AT&T is holding your update back a few weeks. And what if it does take 4-6 weeks to rollout the update. Is Windows Phone that crippled today that you cant wait a few week for an update.
Never mind, go out and buy the newest phone the day it's released. It will be good for WP sales and help with all those silly charts and surveys.

I don't understand. Why would this be bad? Because the new phones would have Mango a little bit before the rest of us? If that's the reason, then that's just silly. Who cares, it'll get to us. It'll give people some time to figure out how to unlock it so that it's ready for when I get my hands on it. :)

Did I say that. Must have been that darn avatar sending out messages again while I wasn't paying attention. But really, if anyone is worried aout AT&T screwing them over (?) go out and buy a shiny new unbranded device and break the chains already.

You know what's ironic about that though... So Microsoft wants to deliver the update in the fall to all users at the same time, that's great but then unlocked users will secretly still be at the mercy of the carriers as Microsoft won't be able to release the update until all carriers give the green light... Well it shouldn't be too bad if they keep the OEM and carrier approval process under wraps, maybe that's why they didn't confirm or deny the rumors of Mango being RTM at the unveiling on the 24th.
It's almost guaranteed that ATT will push out some new Mango phones before updating the old ones. At that time I will either buy a new phone off contract, or jailbreak my current phone while saving up for a new phone.

Tup be quite honest, I highly doubt that. Someone at Microsoft actually said that its highly likely that the update will be out before the actual devices are. The new devices will still have their own selling point, the updated hardware itself is a selling point enough to get a new customer, while rolling the update out in a timely fashion will please their early adopters.

Well this isn't Windows Mobile. Microsoft is taking a completely different approach to this, including with the carriers, anything less than this type of dedication then the platform deserves to fail. Although I also doubt that the specific build that they showed off was the RTM release it doesn't automatically mean that they don't have a later build back in Redmond. The good thing is that OEMs don't take as long as carriers to optimize the build for devices. Leaving the carriers a good 5 months to test away. With NoDo, I believe AT&T took about two months for the surround (last phone to update) for them to finish testing, now I'm judging this amount of time from the finishing point of OEM optimization, which was sometime in march as that's when it was released to unsubsidized devices. I'm not entirely sure if they'll release the update to unsubsidized first again but if they do then that would probably happen sometime in the summer with the subsidized devices getting it in the fall. I'm more than positive they aren't going to go through the NoDo mess this time around. I guess for the pessimists out there though its better for you guys to think less of AT&T that way if something does go wrong you guys won't be surprised. I guess you can call me an unabashed optimist.
I have an unbranded device. AT&T's certification (of lack thereof) is meaningless to me.
No it's not WM, WM had major marketshare at one point. I think less of AT&T because their data service is ****ty, and they have always been slow with updates, unless it's a iPhone. And if sales "are not what we expected" I don't see them really doing anything any faster, unless MS really pushes them to get things in order. Which haven't been the case so far.
Goodbye Dooley! You will NOT be missed!:@
Bring back the WeeeeeBeeeeaaarrrr - 06-09-2011, 04:11 PM #21
That's what I meant, Microsoft NEEDS to push carriers to drive adoption, any less effort than that and the platform will likely fail, and if that happens then it deserves to fail because Microsoft half assed it. Like I said, I highly doubt Microsoft wants another NoDo debacle.
MS need to put some cash in their hands. I remember when AT&T allowed people who wasn't due for a upgrade to upgrade, if they were getting the new iPhone. Hopefully we get some of this type love.
MS need to put train the people selling the phones. I was told that WP7 was just WM skinned. :\ and for some reason, a lot of people have some deep seeded hate for MS.Goodbye Dooley! You will NOT be missed!:@
Bring back the WeeeeeBeeeeaaarrrr - 06-09-2011, 04:32 PM #23
I agree, hopefully something like this can happen with the flagship (Nokia) Windows Phones.
True, who started the Microsoft hate? They're ****in idiots whoever they were. At least Microsoft is putting that training staff out there in the wild to teach carrier sales people about Windows Phone. - 06-09-2011, 06:26 PM #24
Hatred for MS stretches all the way back to the 90s. A lot of people absolutely hate MS and finds ways to tarnish their name at every turn. It's quite sad really. It doesn't matter how good of a product MS puts out, initial reaction is always "It sucks because it's Microsoft." It took a very long time (and Halo) before people started to view the Xbox as a legit gaming platform. However that hasn't stopped people from hating everything MS makes, from Windows 7 to Microsoft Word. And while MS is by no means perfect (no big tech company is), I'm surely not going to turn away from a great product because liking Microsoft products isn't "cool" as jumping on the Google/Apple bandwagon.

The update may be out but will ATT release it in a timely fashion?
The security update has been out for months and ATT hasn't released that either. Carriers need to find a way to get updates out faster. I mean surely they can't be worried about losing marketshare because someone who is 5 months into a 2 year contract got an update for his phone.Please read our Community Rules & Guidelines -

Re: The 2006 High School Football Thread
Don't forget there's two Divisions in 5A and 4A. Stupid, I know, but it's the system we have to deal with.
North Shore has to be the favorite in Region III, 5A Div. I, Katy is the favorite in Div II.
Pearland (Div I) has been coming on strong since they got their QB back. I saw them last night and they are a machine with Fos Whitaker (UT commit) at RB.
Clements will be competing in the Div II bracket which hasn't been released yet.
Here's the unofficial playoff projections (which doesn't include last night's games) that I pulled off one of the websites. They must be halfway accurate because I saw Dulles scouting Pearland last night and they are projected to square off in the first round. They have Clements meeting Ball.
One thing that's changed this year is the bi-District match ups. For years, 24-5A has played 22-5A in bi-District. This year 24-5A is playing 23-5A in bi-District, and 21-5A is playing 22-5A. Refreshing change -- mainly because one of our 24-5A entrants would always get crushed by North Shore in the first round. Now they won't get crushed until the second round.
Class 5A Region III
Projected Playoff Pairings
Cypress Fairbanks (8-1, 5-1) vs Katy Taylor (5-4, 4-2)
Aldine (6-3, 5-1) vs Houston Lamar (7-2, 5-1)
Kingwood (5-3, 4-2) vs Deer Park (6-3, 5-1)
FB Hightower (6-3, 5-2) vs Clear Creek (4-5, 3-2)
Cypress Ridge (6-3, 4-2) vs Cinco Ranch (8-1, 5-1)
Aldine MacArthur (4-5, 4-2) vs Houston Westside (8-1, 6-0)
Humble (7-2, 4-2) vs GP North Shore (9-0, 6-0)
FB Dulles (8-2, 6-2) vs Pearland (7-2, 3-2)
Cypress Falls (6-3, 5-1) vs Alief Taylor (5-4, 3-3)
Houston Stratford (8-1, 6-0) vs Houston Chavez (5-4, 4-2)
Beau. West Brook (7-2, 5-1) vs Pasadena Memorial (6-3, 4-2)
FB Clements (7-2, 5-2) vs Galveston Ball (6-3, 3-2)
Jersey Village (5-4, 4-2) vs Katy (9-0, 6-0)
Houston Memorial (4-5, 4-2) vs Houston Madison (5-4, 4-2)
Baytown Lee (6-3, 4-2) vs La Porte (5-4, 4-2)
FB Marshall (6-3, 5-2) vs Brazoswood (8-1, 4-1
In Region II 5A Div I, I think the game everyone (at least from around here) wants to see is Lufkin v. Westfield.
Lots of good info in the Greater Houston Forum on this site -->

Semantic Web Services facilitate activities including automatic discovery and composition of Web Services. Research initiatives such as WSMO have been developing specifications for this technology. This paper describes a model for composition of Web services. The proposed model complements the WSMO orchestration in IRS-III, a framework for Semantic Web Services based on WSMO specification. We present a tool based on the above model that supports a user-guided interactive composition approach, by recommending component Web services according to the composition context.

Car mp3 disk player doesn't read MP3s converted by iTunes
i tried to burn mp3 cd with songs i got off iTunes.
i used iTunes' own "create mp3 version" function, but the car's player doesn't read them. it will try for a few sec then skip to the next song. the songs are not protected, because I can play both original m4a and converted mp3 on android. however music CD's imported by iTunes, mp3 version, play fine in the car player... googling the issue was not much help because all the keywords are shared with many other topics Have anyone had this same issue? Is there a generally regarded better m4a converter out there? mac or windows.. thanks need halllp okay changed mp3 import setting in itunes solved it.

Some thoughts in random order
What app did you use to actually burn the CD? Was it iTunes? Have you tried creating an mp3 CD using an app -other than- iTunes? I (and others) have had a similar problem trying to burn mp3 CD's for use with the Harmon-Kardon stereo on Harley Davidson motorcycles. In that case, it was found that (for reasons unknown) the stereo would "skip over" songs that had mp3 artwork in their tags. The solution was to use a batch processor (on the computer, before burning the CD) to "strip out" the artwork from the songs. Once this was done, the mp3/CD files were then seen by the player without problems. For the ID3 tag editing, you might try this: http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/ |

The Columbia Chamber of Commerce is encouraging residents to vote "yes" in November.
The group announced its support Monday for three water and sewer bond issues on the Nov. 4 ballot. Together, the bonds would pay for more than $50 million worth of projects in Columbia and Boone County.
Chamber Chairwoman Karen Taylor said in a statement Monday that the projects would boost property values and help people starting small businesses and building new homes.

The centre-left or moderate left is an adherence to views leaning to the left but closer to the centre on the left-right political spectrum than other left-wing variants. Centre leftists, such as social democrats or social liberals, believe in working within the established systems to improve social justice.[1] The centre-left promotes a degree of social equality that it believes is achievable through promoting equal opportunity.[2] The centre-left has promoted luck egalitarianism that emphasises that the achievement of equality requires personal responsibility in areas in control by the individual person through their abilities and talents, and social responsibility in areas outside of control by the individual person in their abilities or talents.[3]
The centre-left opposes a wide gap between the rich and the poor and supports moderate measures to reduce the gap, such as a progressive income tax, laws prohibiting child labour, minimum wage laws, laws regulating working conditions, limits on working hours, laws to ensure workers' right to organise.[2] The centre-left, unlike the far-left, typically claims that complete equality of outcome is not possible (sometimes not even desirable), but that equal opportunity improves a degree of equality of outcome in society.[2]
In Europe, the centre-left includes social democrats, social liberals, greens, progressives and also some democratic socialists. Some social liberals are described as centre-left, but also a lot of social liberals are in the centre of the political spectrum.[4][5]
Positions associated with centre-left[edit]
The main ideologies of the centre-left are social democracy, social liberalism, green politics, and sometimes democratic socialism (often seen as left-wing).
Throughout the world, centre-left groups generally support:
- A mixed economy consisting of both private enterprise and publicly owned or subsidised programmes of education, universal health care, child care and related social services for all citizens.
- An extensive system of social security, with the stated goal of counteracting the effects of poverty and insuring the general public against loss of income following illness, unemployment or retirement (National Insurance contributions)
- Government bodies that regulate private enterprise in the interests of workers and consumers by ensuring labour rights (i.e. supporting worker access to trade unions), consumer protections, and fair market competition.
- A value-added tax and/or progressive taxation system to fund government expenditures.
The term may be used to imply positions on the environment, religion, public morality, et cetera, but these are usually not the defining characteristics, since centre-right parties may take similar positions on these issues.[6] A centre-left party may or may not be more concerned with reducing industrial emissions than a centre-right party.[7][8][9]

Product description
One of the most useful functions of a modern lathe is its ability to cut any form of external or internal thread of any thread form, pitch or diameter within the overall capacity of the machine. Detailed information of a practical nature is, however, not easy to find - a situation that this book does much to rectify. The author was a very experienced engineer with the capability of converting factual analyses into easily understood forms. His own expertise and the standards to which he worked are evident in his writing, and in addition he is also quite at home with both imperial and metric measures having considerable experience in the conversions required when working in partially metricated areas. This book is not only an invaluable treatise on lathe screwcutting but is also a useful demonstration of working in both imperial and metric standards.

Robin Weitz, writer extraordinaire, just sent this very letter to the Governor with regards to Paris Hilton...SO FUNNY...He really did send it because I was CC'd on the correspondence.
Dear Gov. Schwarzenegger,
I'm writing in regard to Paris Hilton, who clearly does not deserve 45 days in county jail. What she deserves is permanent house arrest, or the death penalty, whichever is easier to implement, so that the public, myself included, does not have to endure this ubiquitous, talentless, soulless, illiterate, spoiled rich brat any more.
I ask that you exercise your authority as governor to "Put Paris Away for Good!" I'd rather sit through a four-hour Director's Cut of "Twins" with a drunk Danny Devito next to me, vomiting Lemoncello in my lap, than be forced to see Paris Hilton flitting around another exclusive Hollywood party. She is a public menace and must be stopped. By copy of this e-mail to my friends, I hope they support this initiative as well.
Yours gratefully,
(Mr.) Robin Weitz

Hudson - Amarillo, Texas (from Five Views from the Panhandle Series)
1962 / 2007
- Artist Rooms
As one of a series of five, this shot was originally taken in 1962 by Ruscha on a road trip across Texas. During the trip he documented gas stations along the famous Route 66, between his childhood home in Oklahoma and his current home in Southern California. In this series Ruscha references the classic American road trip theme which would recur frequently in his work. Ruscha also explores architectural repetition. He said, "I was interested in this crazy little design that was repeated by all the gas companies to make stations with an overhang to create shade for their customers. It seemed to me a very beautiful statement." In 2006 and 2007, he printed this work as part of a portfolio of five photographs from the original negatives shot in 1962.

Since that first commercial vintage in 1991 the winery has created a series of a dozen small-vineyard Zinfandels from other historic family vineyards in Napa and Sonoma and, under the direction of new winemaker Steve Hall, has become regarded by collectors, "Zin geeks", authors, wine writers, and sommeliers as among the very finest and most sought after producers of Zinfandel - being dubbed in 2010 by Wine Spectator as Zinfandel Grand Masters. The experts concur: Biale, along with a few select producers, has elevated California Zinfandel to that of internationally recognized status. View all Robert Biale Vineyards Wines
About Carneros
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable Facts
Both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Comedienne and Academy Award-winning actress Mo'Nique poses July 2, 2010 with a pair of 3-D glasses and one Mickey Mouse glove — a la Michael Jackson — as she prepares to visit "Captain EO" on the film's grand re-opening day at Epcot in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The musical 3-D film, which stars Michael Jackson, was presented at Epcot from 1986-1994. After a long hiatus, the space adventure film re-opened July 2 at the Walt Disney World Resort theme park. Mo'Nique, who received an Academy Award for her role in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," also was among the 135 artists, performers and executives invited on June 25, 2010 to join the prestigious Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Mike Reisch has a comment, Tuesday, October 9, 2007, on other WW2 American interrogation techniques
Not all WW2 American interrogators wore kid gloves
I HAVE little knowledge of the interrogation techniques used on German POWs at Fort Hunt, but what has recently been published by a UK newspaper concerning Bad Nenndorf as well as the interrogations for the Dachau Trials paints an entirely different picture. There was also a notorious US interrogation center in Bavaria described by Ernst von Salomon in his book Der Fragebogen, published in 1951.
In these instances the methods were similar to what is happening at Guantanamo Bay Cuba as well as Iraq.
Also, wasn't it Julius Streicher, one of the IMT defendants, who was forced to drink the spittle of his tormentors merely for writing a propaganda sheet which the enemies of free speech found objectionable?

Human mid-gestation amniotic fluid contains interleukin-16 bioactivity
Thornton, Catherine A., Holloway, Judith A., Shute, Janis K., Holloway, John W., Diaper, Norma D. and Warner, John O. (2009) Human mid-gestation amniotic fluid contains interleukin-16 bioactivity. Immunology, 126, (4), 543-551. (doi:10.1111/j.1365-2567.2008.02903.x). (PMID:19278422).
Full text not available from this repository.
CD4-positive cells are detectable in the human fetal gastrointestinal tract from 11 weeks of gestation. Interleukin-16 (IL-16) is a chemoattractant for CD4(+) cells and, via fetal swallowing of amniotic fluid, could mediate the influx of CD4(+) cells into the fetal gut. We have shown that IL-16 was detectable in human amniotic fluid at 16-18 weeks of gestation (mid-pregnancy) but was not detectable at term (late pregnancy; > 37 weeks of gestation). Similarly, mid-pregnancy, but not late pregnancy, amniotic fluid contained chemotactic activity for CD4(+) T cells, this activity was reduced by 58% in the presence of a neutralizing anti-IL-16 antibody. The levels of IL-16 in fetal plasma at 16-24 weeks of gestation were very high, and decreased significantly by 25-36 weeks but at > 37 weeks remained significantly higher than adult levels. IL-16 transcripts were detectable in whole tissue extracts of fetal gut, skin and placenta but not in amniocytes, and IL-16 immunoreactivity was detectable in cells within the lamina propria of the fetal gut and within the skin, where it was associated with the basement membrane. Neither IL-16 levels nor chemotactic activity for CD4(+) T cells in mid-pregnancy amniotic fluid was related to atopic outcomes at 1 year of age. IL-16 might have an important role in the early development of the human immune system and/or in regulating fetal and maternal immunological responsiveness during pregnancy.

CASTANHA, Alessandra Ramos y ARAUJO, Ludgleydson Fernandes de. Alcohol and communitarian agents of health: a study of the social representations. Psico-USF (Impr.) [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.1, pp. 85-94. ISSN 1413-8271. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-82712006000100010.
This research had as objective to verify the social representations of communitarian agents of health (ACS's) regard-ing the use of alcohol. Seventy ACS's residents of the city of Ipojuca-PE, including both male and female genders, and with average age of 26 years participated in this project. It was utilized as instruments semi-structured interviews and the Test of Free Association of Words. The data acquired by the interviews was categorized by the Bardin's analysis of thematic content (1977) whereas the data from the test of association was processed by the Tri-deux-mots software through the factorial analysis of correspondence. The data obtained from the ACS's made possible to represent the alcohol as a harmful drug for the health which can lead to death. Concerning the consequences on the user's life, the majority of the ACS's objectified the family problems resulting from alcohol abuse. In conclusion, there is a necessity of the formation of public health policies, including the fundamental role of the ACS's as social actors in the primary prevention of the abusive drug use within the Brazilian reality.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Looking for a classy print-related Christmas gift? (Sorry, UK only).
I am offering proper letterpress correspondence cards, printed using Intertype or Ludlow slugs, instead of the usual computer-generated photo-polymer.
Printed on super-thick 400gsm card, six styles are available (please ignore the slight variance between the digital fonts used for illustration and the real fonts named in the examples).
I have access to possibly the largest collection of Ludlow and Intertype matrices in the UK, so if you don't like the six example styles, take a look at the huge on-line catalogue of available founts.
The price of £80 per 100, with envelopes, includes proof and delivery.
Take a look here: http://j.mp/1dk9Jcy

Anyone have any great ideas for Mothers Day?
I've put a few on my blog but would love to hear what others are doing - although it may be too late for this year. :/
FontGear Inc.
Does anyone know of any good current online gift guides for designers? My google searches have found mainly stuff that's either a few years old, or has gifts that more expensive than would be appropriate for coworkers.
(I know I probably should've asked this question a couple weeks ago).

This is great. Explanation/key and more videos here.
That is an awesome video.
Also check out the one for Beethoven's Fifth Symphony (First Movement) at the link.
If you search youtube.com for 'smalin' you will find lots of Bach and other classical music done with the same sort of visual interpretation. I think 'smalin' originated this sort of display.

Vasta, Giuseppe (2012)
Ph.D. thesis, University of Birmingham.
| AbstractThe aim of this Phd is to investigate the properties of micro-cantilevers, containing BaTiO\(_3\) based capacitors on their top and verify if they can be used as energy harvesting devices. SrRuO\(_3\)/BaTiO\(_3\) systems behaving as high quality (i.e. with an impedance phase between -80° and -90°) capacitive structures, in the frequency range 6KHz - 50KHz and with a residual polarization equal to 2.5 µC/cm\(^2\) have been fabricated on 400 nm thick MgO sacrificial layer. These structures allow to design micro-cantilevers with a minimum resonance frequency of 6KHz.

It is Ohio law that any child who goes into Hamilton County custody be seen for his or her initial and 30-day evaluations. The clinic was started so that any child going into Hamilton County custody will come to a centralized location and we can gather medical records. Our goal is for the children to get the best medical care possible.
The nurse will no longer visit your home. The children who are placed into your care will have to be brought in for their initial evaluation within the first five business days of being placed in your home, which is typically when the nurse would have come.
No, the clinic will not replace your current primary medical doctor. We will send the doctor of your choice any records from our clinic.
No, we have all of the paperwork to complete for the county. We will fax that information to the appropriate agency.
There are two required visits: an initial evaluation and a 30-day evaluation.
No, we will see the child only for his or her initial and 30-day evaluations. Afterward, any well-child check or sick visits will be at the doctor's office of your choice.
Yes, at each visit we will check to see if the child needs any immunizations and we will update them.
No payment is due for this appointment. If you have the child's Medicaid card, bring that to the appointment.
