Rams' first full-squad workout set for Sunday
St. Louis Rams rookies got a three-day head start at training camp. New coach Jeff Fisher hopes that'll help them adjust now that the veterans have arrived.
The first full-squad practice is Sunday afternoon, giving Fisher two weeks to prepare for the first preseason game Aug. 12 at Indianapolis. The Rams and Colts tied for the worst record in the NFL last year at 2-14.
Players were due to report Saturday morning for a team meeting followed by conditioning tests but no work on the field.
''I'm very excited. Everybody's excited,'' Fisher said. ''Vets are inside watching practice through the window and coming in early and lifting.''
After a year away from the NFL, Fisher is rebuilding a franchise has averaged just three victories the last five seasons. Expectations are measured outside of Rams Park, where Fisher has constantly downplayed the past, with Las Vegas oddsmakers setting the over-under at six victories.
The Rams have upgraded at wide receiver, drafting Brian Quick and Chris Givens and with Danny Amendola, who caught 85 passes in 2010, healthy again after missing virtually all of 2011 with an elbow injury.
They're stronger in the secondary, too, after signing cornerback Cortland Finnegan in free agency. They've tried to fill holes at center, signing Scott Wells, and on the defensive line by signing tackle Kendall Langford and drafting tackle Michael Brockers in the first round. Third round pick Isaiah Pead is a potential quality backup for running back Steven Jackson.
Fullback Ovie Mughelli, the starter in Atlanta the last four seasons but coming off a knee injury in Week 7 last year, signed a one-year contract Saturday. The Falcons released Mughelli, a Pro Bowler in 2010, in May to clear salary cap space.
Fisher was pleased with the rookies' retention level from organized team activities last month. The main drawback to the smaller group was the lack of complete offensive and defensive lines.
Even though the rookies got work in smaller groups and didn't overworked to avoid muscle pulls, Fisher is hoping that'll pay off when the roster swells.
Tight end Michael Hoomanawanui, coming off knee surgery last November, was permitted to participate in the early practices. Fisher said Hoomanawanui, dogged by injuries in his career, asked the team if he could also get an early start.
Hoomanawanui, limited to eight games in 2010 and last year, has extra motivation given the team has eight tight ends in camp.
''In his case it's a really good idea to ease him back in to get the confidence in the knee, and he's really done a good job,'' Fisher said. ''He's been running, he did great in the conditioning test.
''He's worked hard and he appears to be back for good.''
Offensive lineman Rokevious Watkins, a fifth-round pick, was limited to the conditioning portion of practice after adding weight since the end of organized team activities.
''Yeah, he had a little setback from the time he left to the time he came back,'' Fisher said. ''We're just trying to get him back in the swing of things.''

Calcaneo-stop procedure for paediatric flexible flatfoot.
Summary of "Calcaneo-stop procedure for paediatric flexible flatfoot."
Flexible flatfoot is a frequent deformity found in children. The aim of this study is to evaluate the pedographic outcome of the percutaneous arthroereisis with the use of a screw through the sinus tarsi into the talus. MATERIALS AND
43 calcaneo-stop procedures of 25 patients (18 bilateral, seven unilateral) were evaluated. Mean age at surgery was 10 years (7-14, SD 2.2) (
standard deviation), mean follow-up time was 9.7 months (3-19, SD 5.5). Patient satisfaction rate was recorded, the Meary's talus-first metatarsal angle was measured with lateral radiograms, and a dynamic pedographic assessment was also performed.
Patient satisfaction rate was excellent for 33 feet of 19 children, good for eight feet of five children, and poor for either feet of one child. We did not observe any complications during or following the surgery.The mean rest heel valgus decreased from 13.4° (10°-17°, SD 1.5) to 2.8° (0°-6°, SD 1.7) post op. The Meary's angle improved from 160.2° (148°-177°, SD 6.8) to 175.9° (167°-179°, SD 3.5). By pedographic analysis, the area and the pressure-time integral (load amount, PTI) values increased on the lateral regions of the sole (except for the lesser toes) and decreased on the medial areas (except for the hallux). The relative contact time in the lateral midfoot increased from 63.8% (39.6-78.4%, SD 10.6) to 75.1% (50-86.1%, SD 9.4), and that in the lateral forefoot region from 81.2% (60.4-89.2%, SD 6.6) to 86.8% (78.1-97.1%, SD 4.8).
The calcaneo-stop procedure is a simple and reliable method for the correction of severe flexible paediatric flatfoot. Our prospective, short-term results following the anterograde screw implantation into the talus correlate well with the results of similar or different arthroereisis methods. Further investigations are required to evaluate the long-term outcome of the screw calcaneo-stop method, including the conditions following implant removal.

Bought this jacket for my 10 year old, who refuses to wear any "puffy" jackets this year. He loves it because it's super comfy, light-weight yet gives great protection on this cold wintery days. The reversible feature is fun too, gives you two different looks for the price of one and the one-side is water repellent. Very happy with the jacket, ended up ordering another one for my older son!
The jacket is a lot bigger than expected. This is the second time I've ordered a NFJ online and I'm never going to under estimate the sizes for youth or kids because the large is similar to the adult medium; this jacket fits me and I'm a petite. The plus side of the jacket are: it really keeps you warm; good insulation, it's reversible, it repels rain/water for the most part, but you'd want to wear the side that isn't fleece, and it doesn't feel heavy.I would've like to have bought a different color than what my son has because the black on gray as a reversible doesn't make a difference much when reversed.
This jacket is puffy, yet light; it feels like a bubble jacket, but not the kind that weighs your shoudlers down. It's a great buy---the reverse side (no matter which one) looks authentic, especially when wearing the Polartec fleece interior as the exterior. The nylon taffeta fabric is water proof, even people who live in Seattle have nothing on this jacket. There's enough room and movement for the arms. Overall, a great buy, comfortable, keeps you well insulated and light weight.

At least 22 undocumented immigrants, including three children, were killed Monday while 12 others are still missing after a sail boat capsized off eastern Greece, Greek Coast Guard officials said.
The boat capsized off the eastern Aegean Sea island of Samos as 60 to 65 migrants of yet undetermined nationality were attempting to cross the sea from neighbouring Turkey, Xinhua reported.
A total of 36 people have been rescued so far during an operation in which Greek Coast Guard and Frontex boats, a Greek Navy ship, a cruise ship and three fishing boats participated.
Seven people, including a child, were hospitalised suffering mainly from hypothermia.
The Greece-bound yacht from Turkey was overloaded and was accompanied by another speed boat with smugglers on board, according to Coast Guard sources.
According to survivors, most passengers were Somalis.
Thousands of migrants seek to enter the European Union (EU) illegally via Greece each year and hundreds perish in such tragedies in the Aegean Sea.
In a joint rescue operation last week with Malta, Greek Coast Guard saved 147 migrants who were on board a vessel in the Mediterranean Sea.

Programming Clojureby Stuart Halloway
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The second edition of Programming Clojure is the first book to cover the new features in Clojure 1.3. Clojure experts Stuart Halloway and Aaron Bedra have updated the first book on Clojure, and new examples have been added to demonstrate the power and depth of the new features.
Programming Clojure, 2nd Edition covers new concepts like Protocols and Datatypes, as well as Clojure's changes to the numerics system. In addition, this book includes coverage of ClojureScript, a new platform for the Clojure language that rests on top of JavaScript. This book provides the foundation you need to understand the power of the Clojure language and how to wield it.
Clojure is an increasingly important language. It recently overtook Scala in relative growth, and is becoming the language of choice for many who are moving to functional programming or dealing with the challenges of concurrency. More and more developers are starting to see what Clojure has to offer.
Simplicity. Clojure's clean, careful design lets you write programs that get right to the essence of a problem, without a lot of clutter and ceremony.
Clojure has the power inherent in Lisp, but is not constrained by its history.
Clojure is a functional language. Data structures are immutable, and functions tend to be side-effect free. This makes it easier to write correct programs, and to compose large programs from smaller ones.
Clojure is concurrent. Rather than error-prone locking, Clojure provides software transactional memory.
Clojure embraces Java. Calling from Clojure to Java is direct, and goes through no translation layer.
Clojure is fast. Wherever you need it, you can get the exact same performance that you could get from hand-written Java code.
Many other languages offer some of these features, but the combination of them all makes Clojure sparkle. Programming Clojure, 2nd Edition shows you why these features are so important, and how you can use Clojure to build powerful programs quickly.
Reviewers called the first edition of Programming Clojure "a masterwork," "well-organized and easy-to-read," "a great reference," "a mature and polished guide," and "a real pleasure to read." This second edition not only provides up-to-date coverage of the language, but is a fantastic reference that you can keep close to you during the development of your own Clojure programs.
What You Need:
Oracle JDK 6
A text editor
If you want to keep up with the significant changes in this important language, you need the second edition of Programming Clojure. Stu and Aaron describe the modifications to the numerics system in Clojure 1.3, explain new Clojure concepts such as Protocols and Datatypes, and teach you how to think in Clojure.
Programming Clojure, 2nd Edition is a significant update to the classic book on the Clojure language. You'll get thorough coverage of all the new features of Clojure 1.3, and enjoy reorganized and rewritten chapters that reflect the significance of new Clojure concepts. Many code examples have been rewritten or replaced, and every page has been reevaluated in the light of Clojure 1.3.
As Aaron and Stu show you how to build an application from scratch, you'll get a rich view into a complete Clojure workflow. And you'll get an invaluable education in thinking in Clojure as you work out solutions to the various parts of a problem.
Clojure is becoming the language of choice for many who are moving to functional programming or dealing with the challenges of concurrency. Clojure offers:
The simplicity of an elegantly designed language
The power of Lisp
The virtues of concurrency and functional style
The reach of the JVM
The speed of hand-written Java code
It's the combination of these features that makes Clojure sparkle. Programming Clojure, 2nd Edition shows you how to think in Clojure, and to take advantage of these combined strengths to build powerful programs quickly.
What You Need:
Oracle JDK 6
A text editor

Many know i don't agree with Mundine alot but i totally agree with his idea of no drinking and no drugs i mean why poison your body when you can perfect it with training. Having a drink now and again is fine but why destory your body with get wasted and drugs when you can only make yourself stronger each day with training. When your paied to do that there should be no limits to being perfect and drinking and drugs should be banned simple as that.

ClassicsOnline Home » BRAHMS / DEBUSSY / CHOPIN: Cello Sonatas
JOHANNES BRAHMS: Sonata for Piano and Violoncello No. 1
in E, Op. 38
The Cello Sonata in E minor was composed at roughly the same time
as the German Requiem and the second string sextet, Op. 36 and
shares with these works a certain darkness and austerity, yet the sonata is
shot through with lyricism and moves continually toward the light. It was begun
in 1862 and completed in 1865. The original plan called for four movements,
with an Adagio between the first movement and the Allegro quasi Menuetto,
but Brahms omitted the slow movement in the final form of the sonata and the
music has vanished. Some musicologists suggest it may have turned up twenty
years later, as the slow movement of his second sonata for cello. Inspired
by Beethoven's ability to balance the forces of his cello sonatas, Brahms reached
even farther back for his structural and thematic models – to the music of J.S.
Bach. The lyrical opening theme of the first movement grows out of Contrapunctus
No. 3 of The Art of the Fugue; the first theme of the fugal finale
is an almost direct quote of Contrapunctus No. 13. Separating the two
is a graceful minuet with a romantic trio section. Brahms dedicated the sonata
to his friend, the amateur cellist Dr. Josef Gänsbacher, who, upon playing it
for the first time with the composer at the piano, complained about not being
able to hear himself. "How lucky you are." replied the composer.
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN: Seven Variations on the Duet "Bei
Männern, welche Liebe fühlen" from the opera Die Zauberflöte by
W.A. Mozart for Cello and Piano in E Flat Major, WoO 46.
Beethoven composed two sets of variations for cello and piano based on themes
from his favourite Mozart opera, Die Zauberflöte. Papageno's Act II aria,
Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen provided the material for the first set of
variations, published in 1795. Five years later, Beethoven turned to the Act
I duet between Papageno and Pamina, Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen (A man
who feels the pangs of loving) for the set of seven variations heard here.
Composed between his first early sonatas for piano and cello, Op. 5, and the
great A Major sonata, Op. 69, Beethoven here for the first time
treats the cello and piano as truly equal partners.
CLAUDE DEBUSSY: Sonate pour violoncelle et piano
In the summer of 1915, reacting to the devastation of the war in Europe,
Debussy adopted a consciously nationalistic style. He envisioned himself as
heir to the tradition of Couperin, Rameau and Leclair, and expressed his neo-classicism
in a set of three sonatas: the first for cello and piano, the second for flute,
viola and harp and the third for violin and piano. The sonata for cello and
piano is shot through with a certain insouciance, a deliberate attempt to sweep
away the influence of Beethoven's Germanic model. It was composed freely, almost
as if improvised, within the space of a few weeks. Debussy drew attention to
the dominant role of the cello in a note: "Que le pianiste n'oublie jamais qu'il
ne faut pas lutter contre le violoncelle mais l'accompagner." (The pianist must
never forget that he must not struggle against the cello, but accompany it).
The flowery title page of the sonata mimics the old French style, with Debussy
quaintly referring to himself as "Musicien français". He, at one point
thought to sub-title the cello sonata "Pierrot fâché avec la lune"
but changed his mind. Nevertheless, the sarcastic humour of the commedia
dell'arte prevails.
FREDERIC CHOPIN: Sonata for Piano and Violoncello in G minor,
The Cello Sonata, Op. 65 was Chopin's first full-length duo sonata
and his last major work. Ill with the tuberculosis that would kill him within
a year, he nevertheless set himself the challenge of a new medium. There is
reason to believe that, had he lived, Chopin would have continued in the direction
of the cello sonata, away from purely keyboard-based composition. The sonata's
dedicatee was his close friend, the great French cellist Auguste-Joseph Franchomme,
with whom Chopin himself premiered the last three movements of the sonata in
1848. The implication of this performance was that the first movement was unsettled
and, its scope did indeed present serious problems for a composer of exquisite
miniatures. Part of the resulting problem in performance lies in the density
of the piano writing, making the cellist's task of conveying the melodic line
a struggle. Rarely have these challenges been met as effectively as on this
recording. The second movement, Scherzo, begins and ends with a mazurka-like
dance. A brief Largo of elegiac beauty is followed by the finale,
a tarantella in sonata-rondo form. The cello sonata hints at the directions
Chopin might have taken had he lived, incorporating formal elements that bring
an added intellectual dimension to Chopin's customary appeal to the heart.

from Russia in 1910. She began cello lessons at the age of five on a converted
viola. Her first teacher was her father, Gregor, a flute player in the orchestra
of the Orpheum Theatre. She quickly progressed to studies with the theatre orchestra's
cellist, Dezsö Mahalek, himself once a pupil of the great Austrian cellist and
composer David Popper. Zara's two older sisters played piano and violin so Gregor
was able to realize his dream of creating a professional piano trio. The Canadian
Trio, as it was known, performed all over Canada and took first prize at the
Manitoba Music Competition Festivals; the judges urged the family to move to
London to continue the girls' studies. In 1929, with help in the form of a grant
from the Manitoba Ministry of Education, the family set sail for England. Zara
studied with Herbert Wallen at the London Violoncello School where her colleagues
included John Barbirolli, Laurie Kennedy (Nigel's grandfather) and William Pleeth.
The family was desperately poor. Zara and her violin-playing sister Ida had
to practice in opposite corners of the same room. Nelsova credits six hours
a day of this harsh regimen with developing her powers of concentration. The
Canadian Trio debuted at Wigmore Hall in 1929. A year later, Zara made her solo
orchestral debut, playing the Lalo Concerto with the London Symphony
Orchestra under Malcolm Sargent. The trio toured throughout the 1930's - including
a gruelling 18-month trip to Australia, North Africa and South Africa. When
war broke out, Zara returned home to Canada. She was welcomed by the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra as its principal cellist. With Sir Ernest MacMillan playing
piano, and violinist Kathleen Parlow, Zara formed the second incarnation of
the Canadian Trio. Encounters with Arthur Fielder and Charles Munch led to solo
engagements in Boston and a growing reputation abroad. She continued her studies
with Emmanuel Feuermann and Gregor Piatigorsky. It wasn't until after the war
that Nelsova was able to realize her lifelong ambition of studying with Pablo
Casals. Of this experience she says, quite simply, "He taught me to be myself."
In 1949, Nelsova traveled to Oregon to study the cello works of Ernest Bloch
with the composer. Their time together resulted in recordings of the cello and
piano music with the composer at the keyboard, and of the Hebraic rhapsody Schelomo
with Bloch conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra. At the end of their
time together, Bloch declared, "Zara Nelsova is my music." Nelsova introduced
works by Hindemith and Shostakovitch to British audiences, and also recorded
the Cello Concerto of Samuel Barber with the composer conducting. In
1955, Nelsova gave a landmark series of recitals for solo cello in London and
New York and in 1966, she became the first North American cellist to tour the
Soviet Union. From 1963 to 1973 she was the wife of American concert pianist
Grant Johannesen, with whom she toured widely. Nelsova is on the faculties of
the Juilliard School and Rutgers University and gives master classes regularly
at the Royal Academy of Music in London. She plays a magnificent Stradivarius
cello from 1726, the "Marquis de Corberon".
Grant Johannesen was born in Salt Lake City in 1921. He studied piano with
Robert Casadesus and Egon Petri, and composition with Roger Sessions and Nadia
Boulanger. A major competition win in 1949, launched a vigorous decade of touring
throughout Europe and North America. From 1960 to 1973, he taught at the Aspen
Festival and then went to the Cleveland Institute of Music and became its director.
Johannesen met Nelsova at Aspen; they were married in 1963. Of one of their
appearances together in Montreal, the Montreal Star wrote: "I doubt,
indeed, if there exists a better matched pair of virtuosi in this field. They
rose to great heights." "A great performance," wrote the Montreal Gazette,
"No other words could describe the rich luscious tones of the strings and
the elegant sonorous piano."

Help your daughter, granddaughter, or neice become a respectful, considerate young lady.
It's safe to say that young women in the 21st century are exposed to more educational opportunities than any generation of women in history. But sometimes what gets lost in between ballet and biology, AP classes and piano lessons, creative writing and cross country, are the basic rules of simple etiquette and guidelines for appropriate behavior.
Progress is a good thing, but even an accomplished student, a gifted artist, or a brilliant young law clerk is at a disadvantage if she never learned to write a thank you note, understand a formal table setting, accept a compliment, make an apology, express sympathy, or respond to an invitation.
This latest book in the GentleManners series was written especially for girls ages 8 to 14, to teach them the basic skills every young lady should have and every young lady's mother and grandmother want her to have.
Topics covered in "50 Things Every Young Lady Should Know" include:

I left the Boulder Theater with both ears ringing thoroughly and my head in a satiated state of buzz, and in fact I was bone sober (as far as intoxicants are concerned).
PRAANG walked on stage around eleven o'clock and gave the audience a solid three hours of improvisatory jamming.
On January 24th, NYC witnessed its coldest day in six years with high forecasts for the day in low teens. While the city's wiser residents spent their night coddled in sweaters and blankets, a select few decided to brave their way into Greenwich Village and attend Zinc Bar for a night of blood-tempering jazz and booze.
My first interaction with a live music concert was in 1984 at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, where I saw the Victory tour as a young kid. I still remember it vividly to this day. My family and I had to park so far away from the stadium because it was so crowded, and we hiked it for several miles to get there. Once there, I remember the electric that I felt that night.
After tearing up Boulder, the Disco Biscuits moved their way a bit South to Denver before their big Mayan Holidaze gig in Mexico.
My wife and I are both Deadheads. Neither of us gets out to shows as much as we used to now that we have a family, but a few years ago I bought her a Phil and Friends ticket for Christmas. She got to go to the show while I stayed home and watched the kids. I wasn't up to snuff on the line-up as I've paid pretty scant attention to the Dead spin-offs for one reason or another.
I had never attended a live eTown radio show before, and didn't know whether to expect a "Prairie Home Companion" type experience or a full-blown concert. What I found was the best of both worlds; insightful interviews intermixed with live music and an enthusiastic crowed.
The first night started out surprisingly quiet around the Boulder Theater, although the crowd packed in quickly after the opener.
On Friday night The Band of Heathens played to a full room at Oskar Blues in Lyons, Colorado. The Austin, Texas based gang unleashed their brand of southern rock, alt-country, Americana, or whatever you want to call it on full house of fervent fans. The micro-brews were flowing, and the crowd was ready to get down.
Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith, and the White Stripes – what do they all have in common, besides blistering guitar and good ol' rock and roll swagger,

Welcome to Mug Shot Monday–Archives Month Edition. This is the latest entry in a series of posts highlighting early parole records in the Virginia Penitentiary. Joe Perry, the subject of this week's post, was paroled in December 1910. After his release, he exchanged several warm letters with Superintendent J.B. Wood.
Forty-two-year-old Joe Perry of Buchanan County arrived at the Virginia Penitentiary on 30 August 1906 to begin serving a ten-year sentence for second degree murder. He was a model prisoner and did not violate any rules during his incarceration. In May 1909, Perry found a repeating shotgun which one of the guards had left in a common area of the penitentiary and returned it to prison officials. On 14 December 1910, this incident, along with Perry's good conduct and clemency petitions submitted by Buchanan County citizens, led Governor William Hodges Mann to commute his sentence to eight years. This made Perry parole eligible. Five days later the Virginia Penitentiary Board of Directors granted it without requiring Perry to secure employment.
Upon his return home to Council, Virginia, Perry wrote Superintendent J.B. Wood on 14 January 1911 to thank him. "I feel that I owe you so many thanks for the kind treatment I received from you and your officials during my time there," wrote Perry. "I can't find words sufficient to express them." Perry stated that he had a good job with the Clinchfield Coal Company. "[N]o matter where I may be," Perry concluded, "you have my best wishes and will also ask that you give all the guards my best wishes." Wood replied two days later. "You conducted yourself while here as a true man ought to," Wood wrote. You "gave good service and [were] a respectful and obedient servant to those in authority over you" and upon your discharge received "the good will and best wishes of every man who has anything to do with the management of the prison." Wood wished Perry the best and added "that you may be guided by the hand of an All Wise Providence who never deserts those who look to [H]im for help when they need it."
In a 23 March 1911 letter, Perry thanks Wood for his comments on his conduct while at the Penitentiary. "While there," he wrote, "I certainly did try to be a true and obedient man, and it gives me much pleasure to show your letters to my many friends." Perry added that he "was rewarded by the kindness of those who had the power over me." Perry expressed his desire to have his citizenship rights restored. Perry ended his letter by asking Wood to "give my love to all the officers and best wishes for you." In his 31 March 1911 response, Wood updated Perry on the latest news from the Penitentiary, noting how little had changed since Perry's release. "Everything is going along as usual," wrote Wood, with "few changes made where you used to hang out." Wood noted "Dr. Sam Smith wants to know how your leg is getting. He is still giving bread pills and castor oil, salts and hot water at the Hospital." In other gossip Wood noted that "Old man Price and [John] Orrel are still well enough to get their regular doses of toddy every day. Dutch Mullens is still watching the gate, and Hennings is picking grass in the back yard for his chickens." Wood also advised Perry to wait at least a year before applying to have his citizen rights restored. Perry took his advice and his rights were restored on 16 May 1917 by Governor Henry Carter Stuart.
I attempted to learn what became of Perry after his parole. Federal Census records and a family tree on ancestry.com while not definitive provide some clues. Perry married Matilda Catherine Combs (1861-1924) in 1895. The couple had four children: William Cecil (Willie) Perry (1897-1976), Fred Perry (1898-1983), Robert E. Perry (1900-1962), and Beecher Perry (1903-1966). There is a Joe Perry in the 1930 census living as a boarder in Cabell County, West Virginia. By 1940 Perry still resided in Cabell County but was married to Annie, a woman 30 years younger. I was unable to learn when or where Perry died.
Next week: Elmer Raines, 8824
-Roger Christman, Senior State Records Archivist
Please help – I couldn't find where it told the particulars in the case. Who he was convicted of killing, and why did the attorney feel the punishment of ten years was severe? Thanks!
I enjoyed the photos of the actual correspondence. Can anyone tell me how and where these papers were found? Thank you.
Joe Perry was my great-grandfather. He shot Mr Gibson in self defense during a poker game gone wrong. He was found guilty of second degree murder because he ran from the scene of the accident. Two of the witness died before the trial, which only left one witness to collaborate the Self defense. As you can see he was a model inmate and was released. Many years later, he moved to Coeburn, Virgnia and drove a taxi cab for many years and worked as a night guard at the Riverview Bus station. And that's what I know from my daddy, his grandson.

|Therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin decreases the risk of major coronary events after percutaneous intervention (PCI), but does not reduce all-cause mortality. (SOR: A, based on a meta-analysis.) One month of combination therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin after placement of bare metal stents and up to 1 year after placement of drug-eluting stents is recommended. (SOR: C, based on practice guidelines.) Medical therapy with a combination of aspirin, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, beta-blocker, and lipid-lowering medication is associated with lower mortality and myocardial infarction (MI) rates after PCI. (SOR: B, based on a cohort study.) Early exercise stress testing after coronary stent implantation can provide important prognostic information and help risk-stratify patients.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Improper member use error
By Darryl Gove-Oracle on Feb 27, 2015
I hit this Studio compiler error message, and it took me a few minutes to work out what was going wrong. So I'm writing it up in case anyone else hits it. Consider this code:
typedef struct t { int t1; int t2; } t_t; struct q { int q1; int q2; }; void main() { struct t v; // Instantiate one structure v.q1 = 0; // Use member of a different structure }
The C compiler produces this error:
$ cc odd.c "odd.c", line 16: improper member use: q1 cc: acomp failed for odd.c
The compiler recognises the structure member, and works out that it's not valid to use it in the context of the other structure - hence the error message. But the error message is not exactly clear about it.

Any championship team in any sport will tell you that to win a championship everybody has to buy in and everybody has to understand their role. Some players on championship teams don't like each other (Hi Shaq and Kobe), but they still work together for the common goal – a championship. This year's Eastside baseball team hasn't won a championship yet, but the Eagles are playing with the swagger and confidence of a championship team.
Yesterday when the Eagles took on Walnut Grove at home they used stellar defense and excellent pitching to earn a 6-1 win, but today it was Eastside's bats that propelled them to a 11-6 victory over the Warriors and put them in sole possession of second place in the Region 4-AAAA sub-region.
Yesterday when the Eagles took on Walnut Grove at home they used stellar defense and excellent pitching to earn a 6-1 win, but today it was Eastside's bats that propelled them to a 11-6 victory over the Warriors and put them in sole possession of second place in the Region 4-AAAA sub-region.
Eastside (12-5. 8-3 Region 4-AAAA) ace, Gray Ritchey reminded Eagles' fans how talented he was in a 6-1 victory over Walnut Grove that forced the two teams into a tie for second place in the sub region, setting up a pivotal series finale tomorrow at Walnut Grove.
With just over a minute to go in the fourth quarter against Mundy's Mill Monday night, Eastside freshman basketball player Isaiah Miller got an introduction to what it takes to compete at the varsity level.
In a sport that measures success not only in wins but also in sweat, wrestling is considered by many to be, pound-for-pound, the toughest test for an athlete.
Eastside varsity boys head coach Gregory Freeman doesn't work on the same schedule as most.
For Eastside varsity girls head basketball coach Matthew Jackson, making the playoffs just isn't enough.
A storm was brewing Friday night in Monroe, and unfortunately for the Eastside, the Eagles were on course for a Purple Hurricane.
Eastside High's annual "Tase of Eastside" featured musical performances from David Clemons, Shane Willwood and Drew Park (above) at the fundraising event Saturday afternoon. The event raised $17,000 for the Eagles' Athletic Department last season. Proceeds from the event this year will go to the Eastside Athletic and Drama Departments.
The Eastside Eagles had a chance to cement a playoff berth last week against the Stephens County Indians.
Eastside High School will host its annual Taste of Eastside tomorrow beginning at 4 p.m.
The Eastside Eagles wrapped up their cross-country season Wednesday, Oct. 30, as both the men's and women's teams placed seventh overall at the Region 8-AAAA cross-country meet hosted at Johnson High School in Flowery Branch.
For his efforts on the gridiron last week, Eastside Eagles wide receiver Josh Sims has been named the Eastside Athlete of the Week.
Senior night was one to forget Friday night for the Eastside varsity football team, as the Eagles' playoff hopes were dampened in a 30-14 loss to Stephens County at Sharp Stadium.
The Eastside Eagles have a chance to lock up their fourth playoff appearance in three years tonight as the Eagles host visiting Stephens County in region play at Sharp Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
For his efforts on the gridiron last week, Eastside Eagles linebacker/running back Carols Huggins has been named the Eastside Athelte of the Week.
Two weeks ago, Eastside football coach Rick Hurst set a special milestone not only in Eastside history, but in Newton County lore.
The Eastside Eagles made their case for a playoff berth Friday night on the road, defeating region opponent Walnut Grove 42-14 to remain in the hunt for the fourth postseason spot in Region 8-AAAA.

License fees
Injured and recovering service members can now take advantage of reduce sport fishing and hunting license fees as a result of a bill signed by Gov. Brown last year.
"This new law gives our injured and recovering service members the opportunity to enjoy California's natural resources at a reduced cost," said California Department of Fish and Wildlife Director Charlton H. Bonham. "This is a small thank you for the sacrifices our service members make."
Recovering service member licenses are issued to service members who may have a temporary injury or illness.
A recovering service member is defined as a member of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserve, who is undergoing medical treatment, recuperation, or therapy and is in an outpatient status while recovering from a serious injury or illness related to the member's military service.
Applicants must submit an application and a letter from their commanding officer or from a military medical doctor verifying eligibility as a recovering service member.
The recovering service member licenses are available now only at CDFW license sales offices statewide. These licenses will not be available at license agents.
Recovering service members can be residents or nonresidents. Hunting licenses still require all the normal pre-requisites including proof of hunter education and all normal fishing and hunting regulations apply.

The two dozen Holocaust survivors first-time filmmaker Isaac Hertz interviews in his collection of oral histories Life Is Strange vary widely in notoriety — Israeli president Shimon Peres and children's author Uri Orlev appear, along with a panoply of bigwig academics and family friends of Hertz's — but all tell absorbing tales of their experiences during the war and subsequent emigration to Israel or the United States.
Hertz gives equal time to their happy memories, as if to show the horrors they experienced neither erased the sunnier days before nor ruined their lives thereafter. He intercuts the interview footage with archival clips of Jewish life both during festive occasions and in the misery of the camps.
Hertz hasn't framed his subjects' stories into a singular, compelling narrative, however, which makes his 95-minute film feel shapeless. The film is further weakened by a bizarre device: After telling us in the opening voiceover that he was always drawn to people two generations older than himself, Hertz promptly hands over the vocal reigns to Zachary Cirino, a child (or an actor with a child's voice), who offers observations and rhetorical questions from the perspective of a boyhood Hertz.

Category: Movie Theaters
Region: Greenwich Village
These Look Who's Talking-style interjections are distracting and unnecessary, with one affecting exception: When Peres recalls his return as an adult to a well his family drank from when he was a boy, Cirino-as-Hertz reflects, "All I want to do is get older."

Witcher 2 devs hiring for a 'dark fantasy' game and an 'entirely new and differ
The release of the Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition marks the end of the major updates that CD Project have been adding over the course of the last year. Suddenly, they're free, but what will they do next? Gamerzines have noticed a series of new job listings on the CD Projekt site for two games. One is for an 'RPG in a dark fantasy world' signified by a sword symbol, which might just be the next Witcher (maybe). The other project is listed as an RPG in 'a brand new setting' next to a picture of a gun.
'We're looking for people who would rather work on an entirely new and different IP ' a vast RPG for which we want to assemble the best possible staff' CD Projekt explain in the job ad. 'No matter if it's with guns or swords, we're just having a good time here.'
An RPG with guns suggests a more current setting, which would be different to anything CD Projekt have done before. Moving into production on two games at the same time is also a new move for them, but they do already have their graphics engine, which they built in-house to power The Witcher 2. What would you like to see them do next?

What is it?
One of the purest – and coldest – driving experiences on the road. The Atom is a racing space-frame with wheels and an engine, and not much else, which means it's stupidly light, shockingly fast and skin-searingly exposed. The use of a Honda engine means the Atom is reliable, and the build is engineer-spec. No mass production here. Favoured by trackday folks who like to drive to and from, the Atom is surprisingly usable and comfortable on the road, but you have to tog up like a biker or your ears will fall off.
The latest versions are the revised Atom 3.5 edition, with two Honda-engined options and lots of learning from the special V8 built in. They're now more thrilling than ever.
The Atom really is like nothing else. You peer out over the nosecone and watch the front suspension move up and down, and the inboard shocks pump in and out in time with the feedback from the wheel. You can tell whether paint on the road is matt or gloss and the gearshift is the cliched rifle-bolt. This is a driver's car of the best kind, with all the fat stripped out but the fun left in.
The range is based around the 2.0-litre VTEC Honda engine, and the only thing you need to know about the Atom is that it's very, very fast. The supercharged one is mesmerising. Luckily, suspension changes mean it's a bit more predictable, but this remains a raw racer of a car. An Atom isn't particularly difficult to potter in, but act the idiot and they bite.
On the inside
One of the few cars when 'inside' really is a relative term, the Atom has plastic one-piece seats in most models, and a distinct lack of sides, windscreen (though this is now an option) or roof. The race harnesses are necessary but annoying, and there's not much but a wheel, pedals and a small instrument binnacle. It's like driving a blueprint. Saying that, there's not much to go wrong, they can be surprisingly comfy, and there's an immense sense of freedom when driving any Ariel; they've not been called 'four-wheeled motorcycles' for nothing.
Not hugely practical and more of a toy, Ariel's limited supply and an almost fanatical following mean that Atoms are one of the least-depreciating cars on the market. Early versions were offered with Rover K-Series 1.8-litre fours, and they are obviously less desirable than later cars with Honda power. There's an optional racing wing kit (we'd go without), and various variations on models and specifications: it's all based around the latest Atom 3.5 but being a near race-spec car for the road, the configurability on offer is huge. Ariel claims it is the Savile Row of the automotive world, with each car personal to the individual customer. List prices are a bit higher than before but still, given what a thriller it is, the Atom is a total bargain.
