In April and May, the value and performance of the PCA3 test were featured in two important articles published in the Journal of Urology. The first one established that PCA3 is an accurate marker for prostate cancer that may reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies. The second article concluded that PCA3 scores correlate with both tumor volumes and prostatectomy Gleason scores, both of which are measures of prostate cancer aggressiveness. As a result, researchers suggested that PCA3 may have clinical applicability in identifying men who have low-volume or low-grade prostate cancer and who could be followed with active surveillance instead of requiring immediate treatment. This latter article received significant high visibility press coverage in the United States and in Europe, and the study could further increase both the utility and market potential of PCA3.
The publication of these results coincided with the announcement that the Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, U.K., would now have the PCA3 test reimbursed by the National Health Service through their local trust.
Results for the second quarter ended April 30, 2008
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2008 were $516,109 compared
with $1,232,559 for the second quarter of 2007. In the second quarter of
2008, DiagnoCure had no revenue recognition of the continued calendar

The Ottawa International Animation Festival (OIAF) has announced the programming slate for its business-oriented Animation Conference (TAC), which runs alongside the film festival. In recent years, the festival has attempted to position the conference as a meeting ground for North American producers and networks. The 2014 conference, which will focus on "content creation and exploring the connections between the artistic and business sectors," includes face-to-face business time, industry panels, one-on-one talks, and pitching opportunities.
The conference also offers a program called Fast Track, a "speed-pitching event where producers have the opportunity to meet privately with dozens of highly desirable executives in one shot." While the notion of meeting a 'highly desirable' animation exec sounds about as fanciful as spotting a Sasquatch, the conference's Art+Biz Day keynote will be delivered by a highly desirable artist, Vincent Waller, who is the creative director of SpongeBob SquarePants. I worked with Vincent many eons ago on Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon, and he is the consummate pro and an asset to any production. He's sure to have something good to say.
Some of the Animation Conference programming highlights include:
- Tom Warburton, creator of Codename: Kids Next Door in discussion with Chris Robinson, Artistic Director of OIAF
- Marc Landsberg (Social Deviant) discusses how the explosion of social media content is driving consumer engagement
- Mercury Filmworks President Clint Eland in discussion with Eric Coleman, Disney TV senior v-p of original series, and Mike Moon, v-p of creative, to explore how Disney Television Animation has been creating hit after hit
- Case study: The evolution of Dora the Explorer to Dora and Friends: Into the City
- Development exec Melissa Wolfe discusses children's programming at Amazon Studios

Inaugurates seminar held as part of Big Temple millennium celebration
Historians should highlight the role of the illustrious Chola emperor, Rajaraja I (985-1016 A.D.), in instilling the pride of Tamil language, Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Friday.
Inaugurating a seminar organised by the State government as part of the millennium celebration of the Big Temple, Mr. Stalin said it was the Chola emperor who ensured the recital of Thirumurai (compendium of hymns in praise of Lord Shiva) at the temple and patronised women dancers who performed in tune with the sacred work.
Explaining the greatness of the emperor, he said that under his rule not only Saivism and Vaishnavism but also other religions flourished. At the request of Vijayathunga Varman of the Vijaya kingdom, he allowed the construction of a Buddha Vihar in Nagapattinam. He had also donated a place called Anamangalam for the maintenance of the Vihar.
Describing the Big Temple as a masterpiece of Dravidian architecture, Mr. Stalin said work on the temple began in 1003 A.D. and was completed by 1010 AD. Rajaraja I saw to it that the temple emerged as an institution that nourished art, architecture and fine arts.
Referring to the debate on the construction of the temple, he said it was because of a lack of sense of belonging that baseless controversies were floated. As the oral tradition had not been followed in spreading knowledge about the temple, people at one point of time had forgotten that the temple represented them and that it was built by Rajaraja I. Mr. Stalin pointed out that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government had issued an order on the recital of Tamil verses for worship in temples.
The Deputy Chief Minister also released a publication, brought out by Tamil University, on Chola paintings in the Big Temple and handed over the first copy to R. Champakalakshmi, former professor of Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudy wanted researchers to focus on topics of relevance to society.
M. Rajendran, Tamil University Vice-Chancellor, was among those who addressed the seminar.
Keywords: Thanjavur Big Temple, Millenium celebrations, Stalin, Rajaraja I

This is evidenced by Lake Champlain International's upcoming fundraiser - the 30th Annual Father's Day Derby slated for June 18-20 - which is the biggest event the organization has throughout the year.
Eric LaMontagne, an employee for the nonprofit hosting the event, noted that it will not be affected by flooding conditions.
"We have no reason to believe that the lake levels over the past few weeks will diminish the quality of the fishing," said LaMontagne. "As we stand, we have every intention of proceeding as planned with the event. It's full steam ahead."
(Editor's Note:The RotaryInternationalFishing Classic, however, has been canceled due to the flooding.)

Fun, But Soon Forgotten
Wii Sports Review
This game is part of a crop of Wii games that have proven that without a doubt, Nintendo still has that video game magic in spades. Pick up and play, check, makes interesting use of the Wii remote, check, most importantly fun, check and check. Wii Sports contains the following games: boxing, baseball, bowling, tennis, and golf. They are listed in order of how effectively they have been implemented. Golf being last only because the putting seems to be the least sensitive and therefore most prone to anger inducing errors. That being said, none of the games are broken and they all have their moments. There is a fitness recorder that is in the spirit of the tracker that we see in Big Brain Academy for the Wii and Brain Age for the DS. The fitness age tracker gives you a virtual age based on performance and shows your disposition to skew toward balance, speed, or stamina. There is also a training area which opens up a few variations on each base sport.
One of the games biggest strengths, pick up and playability, over time becomes what many will see as its greatest weakness. This game has a fundamental lack of depth. Its not an oversight by the designers, the game is just made for quick spurts of fun or longer stints with group play (just add drinks). Ultimately, as a game that comes packaged with the system there isn't much to complain about. I look forward to the inevitable sequel, to see how this design is expanded and fleshed out.

Pune: The Thailand contingent's solid performance over four days in the Rewale Group Asian under-21 snooker championship has scarcely surprised anyone.
The No. 2 seed, Thanawat Thirapongpaiboon, was put through the wringer in the opening match last Saturday by India's Pushpinder Singh. But after the first-game reverse, he struck back with three on the trot victories, including a creditable one against China's Cao Yupeng.
Three half century plus breaks — 88, an unfinished 54 and a 53 — have given sufficient indications that he will be a force to reckon with should he enter the quarterfinals.
He should face an untroubled last league round match against India's Shravan Mohta on Thursday. Mohta has won and lost two matches each and has a frame average of minus one.
Mohta has to rout Thirapongpaiboon 3-0 not only to notch his third win, but also to lift his frame average to plus two and edge out the Thai from advancing to the last eight.
The other Thai cueists, who have looked the part, are Noppom Saegkham, who trounced Iran's Amir Sarkosh 3-1 in a late evening match on Tuesday,
Yuttapop Pakpoj, and Poramin Danjirakul, who by virtue of his win against China's Lv Chengwie has sealed quarterfinal place.
The quarterfinal berths are most likely to be filled by four from Thailand (Danjirakul, Pakpoj, Saegkham and Thirapongpaiboon), two as of now by China — Zhang Anda and Cao Yupeng, and one by Iran's Sohail Vahedi.
The eighth slot will depend on the outcome of the match between India's Shahbaaz Khan and the top seed from China, Li Yuan.
India's National junior champion has had the luck of the draw. Coach Devendra Joshi also views Shahbaaz's victory against Pakpoj on Tuesday as extremely encouraging.
All the Indian has to do is win one frame and not the match itself, to enjoy a better frame average than Yuan's.
The Asian billiards championship began on Tuesday and is played on a 100 point format. On Wednesday afternoon, Geet Sethi beat Rupesh Shah 3-0.
Singapore's Peter Gilchrist will arrive here on Wednesday night and is scheduled to play four matches on Thursday.
The results (league):
Snooker: Group B: Hussein Vaifaee (IRI) bt Mhanaa Nasser AL-Obaidli (Qat) 3-1 (72-32, 68-43, 6-74, 104 (84)-12).
Group D: Noppom Saegkham (Tha) bt Amir Sarkosh (IRI) 3-1 (102-21, 73-8, 23-64 (55), 90-25), Manish Jain (Ind) bt Alammar Abdulrahman (KSA) 3-0 (73-48, 65-37, 61-37), Zhang Anda (Chn) bt Amir Sakrosh (IRI) 3-0 (87(50)-21, 77-51, 78-41).
Billiards: Group A: Aung Htay (Mya) bt Dhruv Sitwala (Ind) 3-2 (6-102, 5-100, 100-30, 100-14, 100-84), Dhruv Sitwala (Ind) bt Ngayen Thanh binh (Vie) 3-0 (100-79, 100-37, 100-17), Pankaj Advani (Ind) bt Ngayen Thanh binh (Vie) 3-1 (100-88, 33-101, 101-34, 101 (101)-0)
Group B: Kayw Oo (Mya) bt Surya Suwanna Singh (Tha) 3-2 (100-88, 79-101, 78-100, 100-27, 101-22), Geet Sethi (Ind) bt Rupesh Shah (Ind) 3-0 (100 (64)-28, 101 (69)-41, 100-62).
Group C: Saurav Kothari (Ind) bt Bari Chaudhary (Ban) 3-0 (101-5, 100-19, 103-11), C. Praprut (Tha) bt Sirisoma (SL) 3-0 (100-57, 100 (84)-2, 100 (100)-3); bt Chaudhary 3-0 (100-12, 100-5, 100-8); bt Saurav 3-0 (100-30, 101-0, 100-41).

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star Gerald McCullouch got a taste of real-life crime when he was assaulted on a New York City subway.
According to police reports, a mugger attempted to grab the 41 year-old actor's laptop "and dash out the door."
But McCullouch, an amateur boxer, hit the assailant before he could escape. However, the stakes rose when the thief whipped out a kitchen knife.
"This thing must have had a blade 10 inches long," McCullouch told the New York Daily News. "The other passengers started running out the door and into the next car."
Fortunately McCullouch was unharmed, and police arrested a 39 year-old male suspect and charged him with possession of a weapon, robbery, and assault.
McCullouch, who played firearms expert Bobby Dawson on the CBS series, amazingly had a another brush with death in Atlanta, when he was robbed at gunpoint in 2001.

Nobody knows what the future holds
And it's bad enough just getting old
from Vampire Weekend – Diane Young Lyrics on Genius
This verse takes a peek behind the reckless "live fast" mentality to show that it's actually born from anxieties about mortality and a future full of unknowns. It might be read as sarcastic, implying that the proper solution is to embrace the fast pace of time and the unknown future, and enjoy the ride as much as possible, or as a simple earnest expression of these universal fears.

Are You A Health Nut?
"Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing." — Redd Foxx
I've noticed that different people respond differently to a major part of our lives: what we put in our mouths several times a day or how we treat our bodies.
There are 5 personality types within nutrition and health. Where do you stand?
Note: You can make up your own category if you wish!
1. Don't Care:
These are the people who eat what they like, or what is convenient, or what they always have eaten. A major part of the population used to be in this category.
Now, because there is now so much attention in the media on the possible benefits of food and all the dangers of not having a healthy lifestyle, this category is shrinking.
But this group is still huge, and the largest segment is men. Men traditionally just don't pay as much attention to this aspect of their lives and rely on their spouses and eventually a doctor to take care of them. Forget about organic. Don't bother with green. They are too busy for that.

wine cork pens
January 28, 2011 § 33 Comments
Have I had too much wine, you ask? In fact not. By heredity, I have been cursed with the Asian affliction of poor alcohol metabolism. It is a factual genetic mutation and you can read about it on Wikipedia here and on Wise Geek here, if you want an explanation on why most of your Asian colleagues were flushed red in the face from a sip of wine during the office holiday party last month. For that reason, I'm no big wine drinker at all, despite what the evidence says in the above picture or in my craft room (a never-ending stash of wine corks).
I loved this project because it took no more than five minutes to complete and I got to use my drill. Yes, it's as simple as that. Carefully drill through the center of your wine corks (better if you have a drill press), and slip over a pen. But please — no drinking and drilling.

Subic coal plant foes tell Paje: Quit
Groups say new ECC issued despite failure to meet old one's condition
SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — Local officials, environment advocates, residents and businessmen in this free port have asked Environment Secretary Ramon Paje to resign over his department's issuance of an amended environmental clearance certificate (ECC) to an energy firm that wants to build a 600-megawatt coal-fired power plant here.
In a letter to Paje on Dec.5, the groups said the original ECC of the coal plant proponent, RP Energy, that was issued for a 300-MW plant required a new environmental impact assessment (EIA) should "there be any expansion of the project beyond the project description or any change in the activity or transfer of location."
Reached in Manila, Paje said there was no reason to deny the issuance of an amended ECC to a project endorsed by the Department of Energy (DoE).
"How can we refuse the call to produce more power?" he said. The issuance was in support of another agency that has committed to make sure that the coal power plant would meet the standards set under the ECC, he added.
Paje told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that those standards set by the ECC have been upgraded to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Clean Air Act. "There is no reason to deny the plant an ECC. It is just an expansion."
The groups said in their letter to the secretary that no new EIA was presented to meet the condition for the issuance of an ECC for a 600-MW plant.
The letter was signed by representatives of the Subic Bay Freeport Chamber for Health and Environment Conservation, Subic-Olongapo Cancer Foundation, Olongapo-Zambales Civil Society Network, Task Force United Residents for Safe Subic Bay, Wildlife in Need and officials of Olongapo City and Zambales.
The amended ECC was issued to RP Energy by lawyer Juan Miguel Cuna, acting director of the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), on Nov. 15.
The groups said that instead of an EIA, RP Energy submitted an environmental performance report and management plan (EPRMP) to support its application to expand the proposed coal plant capacity from 300 MW to 600 MW.
"We wish to inform you that the DENR's (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) very own guidelines for the implementation of the Philippine Environmental Impact Statement System does not allow the use of an EPRMP in substitution of an EIA for an environmentally critical project such as a coal-fired power plant," said the letter.
It said that the previous ECC was "very specific" in requiring a new EIA for changes in the original project design.
Earlier, lawyer Michael Matias, chief environment impact assessment officer of the EMB, said RP Energy has to comply with all conditions attached to the ECC.
A copy of the amended ECC states that RP Energy is required to mount a communication and information campaign, conduct regular risk and safety assessments and install a weather station at the project site. It must also regularly monitor air particles, noise and smoke emission levels from the would-be plant. Robert Gonzaga, Inquirer Central Luzon, with a report from Jeannette I. Andrade in Manila

KRS-One & Buckshot ft. DJ Revolution - Survival Skills
Artist: KRS-One & Buckshot
Featuring: DJ Revolution
Producer: illMind
Album: Survival Skills
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 12 votes )
Should the rap game be open to any shmoe who can spit a verse without dropping the mic? I'm inclined to say yes; hip-hop without the posers, hacks and novelty acts might sound like a great idea, but, as I see it, new-school sucker emcees have a very important function: they get seasoned vets steamed enough to step into the studio and lyrically annihilate them. Case in point: the newly-released title track and second single off KRS-One and Buckshot's forthcoming full-length, Survival Skills. Flowing over illMind's old-school, organ-driven beat (complete with scratches by DJ Revolution), the two mount their soapboxes to deliver a lesson in hip-hop greatness, letting all the youngsters know, "Microphones are not for these emcees who don't have no [Survival Skills]." Buck and KRS' collaborative LP is set to drop September 15th off Duck Down Records; in the meantime, current and aspiring beatsmiths can click here to learn how to enter DJBooth.net, Duck Down, and Mick Boogie's Road to Survival Production Contest!

Izzo will dance, but only if it's to fight cancer
"Quicker! Quicker! Quicker!" Izzo screams as players dribble by on the Wharton Center stage.
Ganakas counts out the rhythm: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!"
It doesn't feel right to Izzo, who starred as a Northern Michigan University point guard in the 1970s.
"Why do they have to take eight dribbles?" Izzo asks Ganakas. "I think they should take six."
Clearly, Ganakas is doing the coaching tonight. The count stays at eight.
A dozen members of the Michigan State dance team practice one of their choreographed bits for the upcoming show. Izzo applauds, then shrugs and shakes his head, hoping he won't be asked to join the slick routine.
No such luck.
The upcoming show is far more sophisticated than anything in Izzo's performance history, which consists mostly of brief Midnight Madness appearances to kick off each basketball season. Izzo has dressed up as Dracula and King Leonidas from the popular "300" movie about Spartan warriors. He's rappelled from the Breslin Center ceiling and rode into the arena on a motorcycle and on horseback.
But Izzo hasn't done anything like this. Nor did he expect he would become so immersed in the project.
"When this was first presented I'm not sure I realized the depth of what I was going be involved in here," Izzo says. "I thought I was the cameo guy – just going to come in, wave, kiss a baby or two and hit the road. But that's not what I'm going to be doing. So I'm a little nervous about it but I'm also very excited about it."
Tap dancers and singers, many of them Michigan State students, swarm the stage. Izzo is meeting many of the students for the first time tonight. He smiles for much of the two hours as the dedication of the theater and dance performers sinks in.
"It just gives me a whole new appreciation for another set of people in a different venue than the one I'm in," Izzo says. "They're so good, so talented and so passionate."
Izzo plays an accordion as part of the performance. He has plenty of speaking lines, and he wryly notes he won't have a TelePrompTer to rescue him.
But Izzo, always driven and dedicated in his coaching career, is translating some of the same qualities to his Broadway preparation. He's picking things up quickly.
"Niiiiiiice!" Kellyn Uhl, a Michigan State University theater major helping with dance routines, proclaims as Izzo completes a nifty top hat-and-cane move.
"Whoa! ... you've been practicing!" yells one of the Spartans assistant coaches sitting in the Wharton Center seats off stage.
Izzo's wife, Lupe Izzo, has benefited from more practice time and previous experience. She manages some waltz moves with a grace that her husband can't quite match.
But Izzo notes he has another week to practice.
The Izzo children – 14-year-old Raquel and 8-year-old Steven – also are involved with the show. Steven sits on his father's lap and taps a cane on the stage while dancers swirl around them during the rehearsal. Izzo whispers something to his son and the energetic youngster smiles.
"As nervous as I am to do some things here, deep down I sit there and I think of what the cause is for," Izzo says. "You think of what people have to go through with cancer. So as nervous as I'll be, it will be easier if I keep thinking of why we're doing it. That's what it will make it better."

Astronomers Discover Missing Primitive Star
Astronomers have discovered a relic from the early universe – a star that may have been among the second generation of stars to form after the Big Bang. Located in the dwarf galaxy Sculptor some 290,000 light-years away, the star has a remarkably similar chemical make-up to the Milky Way's oldest stars. Its presence supports the theory that our galaxy underwent a "cannibal" phase, growing to its current size by swallowing dwarf galaxies and other galactic building blocks.
"This star likely is almost as old as the universe itself," said astronomer Anna Frebel of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, lead author of the Nature paper reporting the finding.
Dwarf galaxies are small galaxies with just a few billion stars, compared to hundreds of billions in the Milky Way. In the "bottom-up model" of galaxy formation, large galaxies attained their size over billions of years by absorbing their smaller neighbors.
"If you watched a time-lapse movie of our galaxy, you would see a swarm of dwarf galaxies buzzing around it like bees around a beehive," explained Frebel. "Over time, those galaxies smashed together and mingled their stars to make one large galaxy – the Milky Way."
If dwarf galaxies are indeed the building blocks of larger galaxies, then the same kinds of stars should be found in both kinds of galaxies, especially in the case of old, "metal-poor" stars. To astronomers, "metals" are chemical elements heavier than hydrogen or helium. Because they are products of stellar evolution, metals were rare in the early Universe, and so old stars tend to be metal-poor.
Old stars in the Milky Way's halo can be extremely metal-poor, with metal abundances 100,000 times poorer than in the Sun, which is a typical younger, metal-rich star. Surveys over the past decade have failed to turn up any such extremely metal-poor stars in dwarf galaxies, however.
"The Milky Way seemed to have stars that were much more primitive than any of the stars in any of the dwarf galaxies," says co-author Josh Simon of the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution. "If dwarf galaxies were the original components of the Milky Way, then it's hard to understand why they wouldn't have similar stars."
The team suspected that the methods used to find metal-poor stars in dwarf galaxies were biased in a way that caused the surveys to miss the most metal-poor stars. Team member Evan Kirby, a Caltech astronomer, developed a method to estimate the metal abundances of large numbers of stars at a time, making it possible to efficiently search for the most metal-poor stars in dwarf galaxies.
"This was harder than finding a needle in a haystack. We needed to find a needle in a stack of needles," said Kirby. "We sorted through hundreds of candidates to find our target."
Among stars he found in the Sculptor dwarf galaxy was one faint, 18th-magnitude speck designated S1020549. Spectroscopic measurements of the star's light with Carnegie's Magellan-Clay telescope in Las Campanas, Chile, determined it to have a metal abundance 6,000 times lower than that of the Sun; this is five times lower than any other star found so far in a dwarf galaxy.
The researchers measured S1020549′s total metal abundance from elements such as magnesium, calcium, titanium, and iron. The overall abundance pattern resembles those of old Milky Way stars, lending the first observational support to the idea that these galactic stars originally formed in dwarf galaxies.
The researchers expect that further searches will discover additional metal-poor stars in dwarf galaxies, although the distance and faintness of the stars pose a challenge for current optical telescopes. The next generation of extremely large optical telescopes, such as the proposed 24.5-meter Giant Magellan Telescope, equipped with high-resolution spectrographs, will open up a new window for studying the growth of galaxies through the chemistries of their stars.
In the meantime, says Simon, the extremely low metal abundance in S1020549 study marks a significant step towards understanding how our galaxy was assembled. "The original idea that the halo of the Milky Way was formed by destroying a lot of dwarf galaxies does indeed appear to be correct."
This release is being issued jointly with the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution.
Headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) is a joint collaboration between the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Harvard College Observatory. CfA scientists, organized into six research divisions, study the origin, evolution and ultimate fate of the universe.
Image Caption: The newly discovered red giant star S1020549 dominates this artist's conception. The primitive star contains 6,000 times less heavy elements than our Sun, indicating that it formed very early in the Universe's history. Located in the dwarf galaxy Sculptor some 290,000 light-years away, the star's presence supports the theory that our galaxy underwent a "cannibal" phase, growing to its current size by swallowing dwarf galaxies and other galactic building blocks.

Rutland's downtown boomed with the marble industry after 1850. By 1880 the city's population had tripled. Marble was used extensively in the construction or embellishment of many architecturally significant buildings. In fact, marble quarrying, begun in 1845, still flourishes nearby.
Downtown Rutland boasts a unique architectural heritage. Over 100 of Rutland's downtown buildings are listed in the U.S. National Register.
In the 1870s Merchants Row was one of the most impressive streets of commerce in New England, certainly the finest in Vermont.
Rutland has an architectural legacy second to none. Its historic structures, which encompass block after city block, date from the late 18th century.
Since 1976 a great deal of restoration has been accomplished. Significant buildings include the Rutland Savings Bank, the Opera House, the Gryphon Building, and many other buildings in and around downtown.
Many fine Victorian homes of the era still stand behind the Main Street Park between Route 7 and downtown. Many buildings along Merchants Row and Center Street are noted on the National Register of Historic Places.
When visiting Downtown Rutland take advantage of the Walking Tour of Historic Downtown Rutland-a collaboration of the Rutland Area Cultural Alliance and the University of Vermont Historic Preservation Program. For walking tour details, call the Downtown Rutland Partnership at 773-9380.

Building research capacity in developing nations.
Supplements to Support Research Capacity in Developing Nations
The highlight of this effort is a new administrative supplement program intended to provide an opportunity for junior faculty-level scientists from developing nations to conduct research in NIEHS-funded laboratories. This opportunity is available to principal investigators with NIEHS-funded R01, R37, or P01 awards and provides salary and travel support for the foreign investigator. Applications are considered on a rolling basis and must include a description of the research project to be conducted by the foreign investigator, a mentoring plan, and a career goals statement. Additional detailed information is available on the web at http://www.niehs.nih.gov/dert/programs/capacity.htm.
Fogarty International Research Collaboration Award (FIRCA)
An additional effort is being made to build research capacity in these developing nations through the NIEHS's continued participation in the FIRCA basic biomedical research program (http://www.fic.nih.gov/programs/research_grants/firca/index.htm). The FIRCA grant mechanism allows the development of collaborative programs between established environmental health researchers and investigators who remain in their developing countries. This opportunity includes both laboratory- and population-based studies on the biological response to environmental exposures to pollutants as well as studies of susceptibility factors due to genetics, age, nutritional status, or co-morbid conditions. The NIEHS is currently co-funding 17 grants with the Fogarty International Center under the FIRCA program.

On April 2, Representatives Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) and Elijah Cummings (D-MD) sent letters to the CEOs of five large retail banks urging those institutions to voluntarily adopt certain consumer protections related to online payday lending. Those members and several others recently introduced the SAFE Lending Act, which the letter states would (i) allow consumers to prevent lenders form making automatic withdrawals and debits from their accounts, (ii) require all lenders to abide by state small-dollar lending rules, (iii) ban lead generators and anonymous payday lending, and (iv) increase enforcement authority to address offshore small-dollar lenders. Pending congressional action, the legislators asked the banks to "take every available step to prevent online payday lenders from accessing funds from consumer accounts when they are clearly operating in violation of state law."

Ecotreatments™ solutions are an environmentally conscious approach to meet today's growing demands for disinfecting, sanitizing, and cleaning products that are non-toxic yet eliminate bacteria and viruses where you touch, breath, work and live.
Producing Excelyte™ involves using a simple solution of salt and water to create an environmentally responsible solution with powerful disinfecting characteristics.
Excelyte™ is a powerful antimicrobial solution that is both biodegradable and non-accumulative. The key active ingredient, 0.46% hypochlorous acid, is derived from naturally occurring salt minerals and water.
Excelyte,™ produced by our EcaFlo™ electrolytic cell, is capable of meeting industrial performance standards in quality, reliability, and production capabilities. When energized with a constant DC current, our ECA cells produce an Excelyte™ solution containing a minimum of 500 ppm FAC (free available chlorine).
When exposed to environmental conditions, Excelyte™ quickly degrades into salt and water leaving no ecological footprint.
Much like the human body immune system, Excelyte™ is an antimicrobial solution formed from naturally occurring elements. Excelyte™ attacks an array of microbial organisms including bacteria and viruses.
- Excelyte™ is non-flammable and contains no alcohol.
- It can be transported as a non-chemical with no strict HAZMAT requirements
- Excelyte™ is made up of 99.5% water.
- Excelyte™ kills viruses and bacteria offering a better alternative to the harmful chemicals in use today for disinfecting and sanitizing.

Unknown number killed in Texas plant explosion
"We are monitoring developments and gathering information as details continue to emerge about this incident," Perry said in a statement. "We have also mobilized state resources to help local authorities. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of West, and the first responders on the scene."
Dozens of emergency vehicles amassed at the scene and fires still smoldering in the ruins of the plant and in several surrounding buildings. Aerial footage showed injured people being treated on the flood-lit football field that had been turned into a staging area for emergency responders.
Al Vanek, a West City Council member, said first-responders were treating victims at about half a dozen sites, and he saw several injured residents from the nursing home being treated at the community center.
"Tomorrow is going to be a very sad day," Vanek said.
Glenn A. Robinson, the chief executive of Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center in Waco, said in an interview on CNN that his hospital had received 66 injured people for treatment, including 38 who were seriously hurt. He said the injuries included blast injuries, orthopedic injuries, large wounds and a lot of lacerations and cuts. The hospital has set up a hotline for families of the victims to get information, he said.
Robinson did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press.
Messages to Scott Clark, spokesman for Scott and White Hospital in Temple and Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center in Waco, were not returned Wednesday. A spokesman at Providence Health Center was not available for comment, a hospital operator said.
Debby Marak told the AP that when she finished teaching her religion class Wednesday night, she noticed a lot of smoke in the area across town near the plant. She said she drove over to see what was happening, and that when she got there, two boys came running toward her screaming that the authorities ordered everyone out because the plant was going to explode.
She said she had driven only about a block when the blast happened.
"It was like being in a tornado," Marak, 58, said by phone. "Stuff was flying everywhere. It blew out my windshield."
"It was like the whole earth shook."
She called her husband and asked him to come get her. When they got to their home about 2 miles south of town, her husband told her what he'd seen: a huge fireball that rose like "a mushroom cloud."
Lucy Nashed, a spokesman for Perry's office, said personnel from several agencies were en route to West or already there, including the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality, the state's emergency management department and an incident management team. Also responding is the state's top urban search and rescue team, the state health department and mobile medical units.
American Red Cross crews from across Texas were also heading to the scene. Red Cross spokeswoman Anita Foster said the group was working with emergency management officials in West to find a safe shelter for residents displaced from their homes. She said teams from Austin to Dallas and elsewhere are being sent to the community north of Waco.


text: Rumor has it that AT&T's gearing up for yet another door-busting, riot-inducing summer filled with new iPhone hardware, which would certainly jibe with everything we've heard in the past few months (never mind the fact that June is officially Apple's iPhone release cycle these days, and indeed, AT&T's apparently saying that the June cycle is becoming "a tradition"). That's not terribly interesting at this point -- what is interesting, though, is how AT&T plans to play it. Apparently, the carrier wants to ramp up its -- ah, how should we put this in a politically correct way -- "integration" with Apple's hardware, including a U-verse app that we're guessing will approximate the functionality to be offered by Verizon's FiOS. What really has us worried is not so much the U-verse app specifically, but the possibility that AT&T's sick and tired of having its crapware left out of its highest-profile device, leading to non-removable garbage like Cellular Video on a future iPhone's home screen. It's still a bit early to sound the alarm there, but you know, we're paranoid types around here. It's said the new device will be faster, though the exact meaning of that is a little unclear; the iPhone 3G's chipset is already 7.2Mbps-capable, so we're not sure if the carrier is simply referring to its ongoing infrastructure upgrades. Finally, it's said that a $99 netbook running something other than Windows (don't suppose that'd be Linux?) will be launching this summer, following on the 3G-enabled Aspire One that hit Radio Shack late last year. Heads up, though, AT&T: give us an iPhone with your Mobile Email app on the home screen, and let's just say we can't be held accountable for our actions afterwards. We know you wouldn't do that, but just sayin'.

Creative Labs Annihilator Pro Review
What You Get
Before going over the installation of the Annihilator Pro, let's cover a couple of items first. Included with your purchase are a few goodies Creative throws in to demonstrate the capabilites of the Annihilator Pro:
Although the first two items have been made available over the Internet, it's still a nice suite of transform and lighting enabled software which will keep you entertained for a while. Creative also bundles:
Overall, it's a decent software bundle. But with a top of the line graphics card like the Annihilator Pro, including the full version of Quake 3 Arena would have been the bundle dreams are made of. I'm not really complaining here, but as you will soon find out, the Annihilator Pro and a game like Quake 3 Arena make for a seriously lethal gaming combination.
The detailed specifications for the Annihilator Pro are provided at Creative's web site. Here are a few highlights:
Well, here I sit, writing these specs and I have yet to actually install the Annihilator Pro in my system. Am I excited or what?
Image provided courtesy of t-break.
Installation of the Annihilator Pro was straightforward. Creative includes a helpful 19-page installation guide for Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0, 5 pages of which are devoted to troubleshooting.
Before removing my existing card, I uninstalled NVIDIA's reference drivers and switched to the standard Windows VGA drivers. Then I turned the system off, removed the existing card, and installed the Annihilator Pro making sure that the card was firmly seated into the AGP slot.
I followed the installation instructions for Windows 98 exactly as they were written in the installation guide. Turn on the computer, Windows 98 detects new hardware, install the drivers from the installation CD, and reboot.
I did have one minor glitch when Windows loaded informing me that "NVQTWK.DLL" was missing. This was some residue left over from NVIDIA's reference drivers and a quick delete of a registry entry cured that problem.

I just bought a bird feeder for my yard. It is made of recycled plastic. The container for the seed is clear plastic and the top is molded plastic. Is this going to harm the birds? BPA? Thanks!

Never mind. Going to replace it with a metal and glass one.

Top Graduate Schools with PR Programs
Graduate programs in public relations (PR), which may also be referred to as strategic communication, can typically be found as either stand-alone degrees or as concentrations within a university's communication or professional studies school. Discover the rankings, program specifics and other details about the top graduate schools for studying PR.
School Overviews
Public relations (PR) or strategic communication graduate programs are offered at colleges and universities across the country. Some programs focus on advanced professional skills, while others, particularly those at the doctoral level, are based more on research. New York University (NYU) and the University of Alabama (UA) are nationally respected institutions, and they have two of the nation's top-rated graduate programs in PR. The programs at both schools lead to a master's degree in the field. To learn more, read on.
Top Public Relations Graduate Programs
1. New York University in New York, NY
New York University (NYU) was named the 33rd best university in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in 2011. NYU also received PRWeek's PR Education Program of the Year award in 2010. At the NYU Midtown Center, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies offers a Master of Science in Public Relations and Corporate Communication. After taking the core courses, students choose a concentration in public relations management or corporate organizational communication. The 42-credit hour program can be completed within 4-5 semesters full time or ten semesters part time.
2. The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL
In 2011, the University of Alabama (UA) was ranked 34th among the nation's top public colleges by U.S. News & World Report.

The College of Communication and Information Sciences' program leading to a Master of Arts in Advertising and Public Relations can be completed in two years with a research thesis and a concentration in advertising or public relations.

Super duality and Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We establish a direct connection between the representation theories of Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras (of type ) via Fock space reformulations of their Kazhdan-Lusztig theories. As a consequence, the characters of finite-dimensional irreducible modules of the general linear Lie superalgebra are computed by the usual parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials of type . In addition, we establish closed formulas for canonical and dual canonical bases for the tensor product of any two fundamental representations of type .

Former Coach, Now College President, Fights Racial Disparity in College Sports
By: Bob Allen
Posted: Friday, August 29, 2008 12:00 am
Columns on Baptist Life
On the football field a "crackback" is an unexpected blind-side block that takes a would-be tackler out of the play. When it comes to hiring black coaches, it's a standard part of the playbook, says Fitz Hill, former head coach at San Jose State University."
If you know football, you know that often time a crackback is a block that you never see," Hill, now the president of Arkansas Baptist College, says in an upcoming Baptist Center for Ethics DVD on Baptists and race. "You can be running, going for the play, trying to make a play and then out of nowhere--Bam!"
Hill, who is nearing completion of his first book, CrackBack! Throwing a Flag on the College Football Forces That Blindside Black Coaches, relates the tactic to what often happens to African-American candidates for head coaching jobs.
"The school calls me, I think I'm a candidate for this position, and I'm excited," Hill says in the video. "The next thing you know, out of nowhere--Bam!"
Hill says that "race defines space" for African-American coaches at NCAA Division 1A colleges and universities. "It's the race issue that keeps you from getting opportunity, not the qualification," he says.
Black coaches don't have the same opportunity afforded to black players, Hill said, because coaching decisions are complicated by influences like alumni, donors, athletic boosters and other positions of power.
"Those people often time are more comfortable hiring people who look like them, who dress like them, whom they want to associate with," he says.
Hill was selected 13th president of the 122-year-old Arkansas Baptist College on Feb. 1, 2006, where he was already well-known as a former assistant football coach for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Since then he has been noted for efforts to revive the only black Baptist higher education institution west of the Mississippi. "We want to move from a sustaining mode to an advancement mode," Hill said after his election.
He set out to connect with alumni, church groups and other supporters and to improve the school's academic programs. He also led ABC to focus on recruiting, scholarship programs and partnerships with other groups and organizations in higher education.
By all measure, those efforts are paying off. Enrollment is up dramatically and interest among prospective students is the highest it has been in many years. The Vanguard, a former publication of Arkansas Baptist College, has been resurrected as The Baptist Vanguard Today. The school has launched its first major capital campaign in history.
"We are blessed to have alumni, friends and other supporters who recognize the value of Arkansas Baptist College to Arkansas and the world," Hill said. "Already we have seen a dramatic increase in financial support, including the largest single gift in the history of ABC."
Plans are also moving forward to restore the Old Main campus building, recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as "the oldest black educational building in Arkansas."
A graduate of Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Ark., Hill received a master's degree from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La., where he served as a graduate assistant football coach. He went on to serve as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Arkansas, before his career was interrupted by military service in 1990. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Commendation Medal for services in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
He returned to the Razorback coaching staff, working for five different head coaches. While working as assistant head football coach, recruiting coordinator and receivers coach, he was hired as head football coach at San Jose State in 2000. He resigned after four seasons, returning to his alma mater, Ouachita, as a fund raiser.
He was selected as the 13th president of Arkansas Baptist College in Little Rock, which is affiliated with the Consolidated Missionary Baptist Convention of Arkansas, at age 41.
Hill's doctoral dissertation, "Examining the Barriers Restricting Employment Opportunities Relative to the Perceptions of African American Football Coaches at NCAA Division 1A Colleges and Universities," has been featured on ABC's "Nightline" news program, HBO's "Real Sports" with Bryant Gumble and other programs. Hill has been profiled three times in The Chronicle of Higher Education relating to both his research and personal experience in the coaching profession.
He is recognized as a leading expert on the lack of diversity in college sports leadership positions. He was invited to testify before Congress. After the 2004 firing of African-American coach Ty Willingham at Notre Dame, Hill received so many media interview requests that he held a press conference by telephone conference call with several major newspapers.
Hill is just one of several black, white and Latino Baptist leaders featured in the BCE race DVD due for release Oct. 1. Others include author and activist Will Campbell; the head of National Ministries for American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A., Aidsand Wright-Riggins; Emmanuel McCall, a past moderator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship who devoted his career to improving relations between black and white Baptists in the South; Javier Elizondo, executive vice president and provost of Baptist University of the Americas; Marilyn Turner, associate executive director for program ministries at National Ministries of ABC/USA; and Yana Pagán, associate pastor at Upper Merion Baptist Church in King of Prussia, Pa.
