Mike purchased this house in 2001
We love Haena! The location of this beach-style cottage is in one of the most beautiful and special places in Hawaii and the world. Between the dramatic mountains and the white sand, there is a sliver of development which includes low density local and vacation homes. Kauai restricts the number of vacation homes in this area. Don't expect to see condominiums or commercial development. All of the nearby activities take advantage of the beauty that is unique to the north shore of Kauai. We get favorable comments from our guests. Once you find this special area you'll want to return. This home is actually in 'Haena' and is not miscoded on VRBO.
For less than the price of a resort condominium, you can enjoy a vacation home with private upstairs deck. There is not another rental on this corner, cul-de-sac lot. Affordable vacation homes within a short walk to the beach. Home is on two lane, well traveled road. We live on Kauai and lovingly maintain and update this cottage. Guests give us positive feedback and we are happy to see them refer our vacation home to their friends.
Recent improvements include 6' perimeter privacy fencing, new dual pane windows, new entry way, new lanai, new covered stairs, new garden sunning area, new second bathroom.
The house was extremely comfortable and convenient to the local beaches, hiking and restaurants. It was exactly what we were looking for.
We will want to visit Kauau'i again and this place will certainly be at the top of our list.
Thanks for making our trip such a success.
This house was cute, comfortable, wonderfully relaxing and had everything anyone could want including beach gear. We loved getting to stay so close to Tunnels Beach, interesting lava caves, Ke'e Beach, Ha'ena State Park, the trailhead to Kalalau Trail and in one of the most lush, green and tropical parts of Kauai. If you want to be away from the bulk of tourists this is the place to be. Although the house is on a main road, there is absolutely no traffic at night and it is very quiet. The owners are very conscientious and thorough. It was nice to have air conditioning; we were able to use it to bring down the general temperature in the house, and then rely only on the ceiling fans all night to keep us comfortable. The beds were a perfect combination of support and softness. The house felt very private, and it was always a joy to return to after exploring the island. My kids got a big kick out of the lone adorable gecko that showed up in the shower periodically. I will always return to this rental in the future.
I am so happy we found this fantastic home. The area is the best on the island. Right across the road from the beach and within walking distance to Tunnels, Haena Beach Park and much more. It was private, quiet, and incredibly relaxing. The upgrades to the home are beautiful, and the home is equipped with anything and everything you could possibly need or want. Everything was extremely clean and in perfect working condition and there is honestly not one thing I could say needed improvement. This was our first visit to Kauai and we are already planning a return for later in the year and will definitely be staying here. Thank you Mike and Donna!
We were very happy with our stay at Barefoot Hideaway. The house was very clean and had just about everything that you would need. The location is beautiful and lush. We appreciated it because it was away from the fuss of resorts and other issues that come with crowds of tourists. We had been warned thru other travel guides that the beaches nearby would be packed and difficult to find parking - we on the other hand found parking in every beach and wonderful places to relax and snorkel. We loved Kauai!
One of the only things that we thought would be awesome to have here were bikes! It would have been great to take off in the morning for a ride down to Ke'e beach.
Thanks for the great place. We will recommend it to others.
We had a great stay at Barefoot! The Air Conditioner in the master bedroom wasn't working when we arrived, but we called and they replaced it the very next day, very prompt service. The second bedroom and main living area had separate AC's so we were comfortable.
We didn't walk to the beach, but we did walk to the Mediterranean restaurant, which was very close, the food was okay. The drive to Tunnels beach was quite short and easily accessible, same for driving to the end of the road to Kee Beach, just a bit further past Tunnels. The house had everything that we needed and the master bathroom (fairly new) was very nice. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area.
My wife and I have stayed here multiple times and we must say that it has been wonderful.
The location is perfect for Tunnels and Kee beaches. Close to the caves and much more. We had no problems finding groceries or restraunts. The house is well equipped with basic items, very neat and clean, and the AC was a + .We will be back.
My family of five stayed at this beautiful and charming home for five days. Haena is truly the perfect place if you want to get away from it all. This part of the island has truly an authentic Hawaiian vibe and is breathtakingly beautiful. The home is in a perfect location, very private and nearby Tunnels for snorkeling and a super quick drive to Ke'e beach and the Kalalau trailhead. The owners were great to deal with and were very responsive to my questions before and after my booking. They have also taken great care to ensure you have a comfortable vacation. They supply many amenities- beach supplies such as boogie boards, chairs, towels and even water shoes! Having a washer and dryer was useful too, especially since we went through so many bathings suits during our stay! This tropical paradise home is fantastic and we will certainly stay here every time we visit Kaua'i!!

Good for more than a camera bag
Bought this for my daughter to use in the college dorms. It is attached to the bed frame and dropped behind the bed so that it's out of sight. She keeps her passport, SSN card and other information sensitive papers locked in it. In this day and age of identity theft, it gives some peace of mind to know that someone can't just pick this up and walk off with it.

Ailing Kennedy seeks to change law on succession
BOSTON For nearly half a century, Sen. Edward Kennedy has guarded his family's political legacy. Stricken with cancer and as Congress takes up his signature issue, he is tending to his own.
Kennedy asked Massachusetts lawmakers to change state law to give Gov. Deval Patrick, a fellow Democrat and supporter of President Barack Obama, the ability to appoint an interim replacement to Kennedy's seat should Kennedy be unable to continue serving.
Under state law, an election is required within 145-160 days after a Senate seat becomes vacant. That would temporarily leave Massachusetts without a voice in the Senate – and Senate Democrats potentially one vote short on any health care overhaul legislation.
Kennedy said he supports the special election process, but wants to ensure the seat is filled during the course of the election.
"It is vital for this Commonwealth to have two voices speaking for the needs of its citizens and two votes in the Senate during the approximately five months between a vacancy and an election," Kennedy said in a letter to Patrick.
For Kennedy, the proposal is about more than just the mechanics of succession.
Health care has been Kennedy's core issue for decades. Although Democrats hold a potentially filibuster-proof margin in the Senate, the fate of a sweeping health care bill could hinge on a single vote and some moderate Democrats have been wavering. Another Democrat, Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, has been seriously ill and often absent.
Leaving supporters of a health care overhaul a vote short could put that piece of his legacy in jeopardy.
"I think he's simply being cautious about the future in order to protect issues he cares deeply about, most importantly health reform," said former Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Philip Johnston. "It's a statement of his commitment to health reform and his support of President Obama."
The clock for a special election is triggered either on the date of a resignation or the incumbent's death.
Though Massachusetts is dominated by Democrats, a change in the law isn't a sure thing. That's particularly true when the change has to do with the prickly topic of succession to one of the state's top political prizes.
Any change could not happen immediately. Lawmakers are not expected to return to formal sessions until after Labor Day.
Patrick, on vacation this week, issued a statement but gave no indication if he would support the change.
"It's typical of Ted Kennedy to be thinking ahead, and about the people of Massachusetts, when the rest of us are thinking about him," said Patrick, who just last fall noted more than 40 other states fill congressional vacancies by gubernatorial appointment.
Senate President Therese Murray and House Speaker Robert DeLeo – both Democrats – were equally circumspect.
"We have great respect for the senator and what he continues to do for our commonwealth and our nation. It is our hope that he will continue to be a voice for the people of Massachusetts as long as he is able," they said in a joint statement.

Midland, MI (PRWEB) December 29, 2012
Health Enhancement Systems announces the release of Team Wellness Challenges: Energizing Engagement, Inspiring Change — a free white paper, available for download at http://www.hesonline.com/teamwellness.
There's no denying the growing popularity of employer-sponsored wellness programs as a weapon in the battle against skyrocketing healthcare costs. About 61% of employers surveyed offer a wellness program, according to a recent report by the Society of Human Resource Management. But recruiting participants and keeping them engaged remain ongoing challenges for wellness managers. Financial incentives or penalties won't get employees to complete programs they view as irritating, irrelevant, or boring. And they won't stick with the healthy habits without intrinsic motivation — being healthier because they want to be — which money doesn't supply.
When it comes to employee wellness, nothing beats a friendly competition for fun and support. Enjoyment is a huge factor in keeping participants on board and enthusiastic. And team-based wellness programs are naturally motivating. They foster a sense of camaraderie and spirit that inspires members to achieve health goals — for the sake of team pride as well as a personal sense of accomplishment. Social support is critical in successfully changing health behaviors. With team wellness challenges, it's built in — along with the fun.

Deepavali release Meiporul has been shot entirely in the U.S., says writer-director Natty Kumar
What can be common among three young men settled in the U.S. — one a software engineer, another civil, and the third a research scientist — apart from their zest for life? Passion for cinema, of course! Especially with one of them — Natty Kumar — hailing from a family which has made around half a dozen films, the medium means a lot to them. Krish Bala and Narayan Sundararajan complete the trio.
Discussing films threadbare is their favourite pastime. Once when Narayan's wife Rani butted in and said "Stop critiquing film after film. Try making one and you'll understand the constraints," the three decided to take up the challenge, and Dreams on Frames, was born. The production house's maiden effort, Meiporul, shot entirely in San Francisco, except for a few scenes canned in Santa Clara, is all set for the festival race round the corner and Natty is in Chennai for the purpose.
Natty's father T. N. Janakiraman was the producer of Moga Mul, the 1996 Indira Gandhi Award winner for Best Film. It also won the National Award for Best Direction for Gnana Rajasekaran. (Incidentally, today's popular television actor Abhishek made his bow as hero in it.)
Interesting team
The cast and crew are completely from the U.S. "Lenin, editor of Meiporul, and composer Rahul, A. R. Rahman's associate sound engineer, who has given us five lovely songs are exceptions," says Natty, writer-director and producer. Narayan is co-director, and Krish Bala, co-producer.
Armed with an associate degree in filmmaking and TV production, from California, Natty has made nine short films in English and even acted in two of them. "I owe it to my wife Nithya. She earns, while I dabble in cinema," he smiles.
Partner Krish is the protagonist of Meiporul. Anusha Ramanujam, again an engineer from Anna University, working in the U.S., is the heroine. The cast includes Chinese, Koreans, African-Americans and Mexicans in minor roles. "Anusha would drive down two hours from her place in Salinas for the shoot in San Francisco. She's done a wonderful job, and so has Krish," says Natty. "And all our main actors are fluent in Tamil," he adds. Now that's news!
Be it Chris Eldridge, the cinematographer, or John Massei, who was thrilled to do the re-recording thinking Indian cinema means only Bollywood with its lead pairs prancing around, the crew struck a perfect rapport with each other. "John was a little crestfallen when I said we do have songs but shot only as montages," laughs Natty. "He's given us a splendid background score." Yugendar, the lyricist for three songs, resides there, while writer Va. Mu. Sethuraman, who had gone over for a Tamil conference, was roped in for two.
So what's Meiporul all about? "It's a neat, realistic, suspense thriller," says Natty who's worked on the script for six months to come out with a clean edge-of-the-seat entertainer.
Probably the time is ripe for the new breed of filmmakers, but with big films in the fray is Deepavali the right time for release? "Publicity is more during this season and if the movie is good it is bound to stand," Natty asserts.
The very title, Meiporul has a poetic feel to it. "The story is based on a couplet from 'Tirukkural' that has the word. We found it relevant," he explains. Check it out on the big screen this Deepavali.

Grow, nerves, grow; how can severed nerve cells be encouraged to reestablish functional connections?
How can severed nerve cells be encouraged to reestablish functional connections?
In an episode of Hugh Lofting's The Story of Dr. Dolittle, a resourceful band of monkeys spans a river by creating a "living bridge,' each one's arms holding the legs of the one before it. Another kind of living bridge may be the key to promoting repair of damaged spinal cords and brains. In this case, the bridge is built of implanted tracts of cells derived from the more peripheral regions of the nervous system.
Injury to the brain or spinal cord--the central nervous system, or CNS--tends to produce permanent damage in people and other mammals. If nerve cells are killed, they cannot be replaced. Even when the cell bodies are spared, if the injury severs some of the millions of long fibers that carry signals, connections are lost and a person may suffer loss of sensory input or motor control. The cell body does not regenerate those thin cellular extensions.
In amphibia and fish, some parts of the brain and spinal cord will regenerate the long fibers, which are called axons. Even within the human body, the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which runs between the spinal cord and the muscles and sense organs, can regrow damaged processes. Medical researchers are making progress in encouraging this regrowth after PNS damage (SN: 9/21/85, p. 183). But the failure of nerve cells in the CNS to regenerate cut processes continues to frustrate physicians searching for treatment for the people--almost half a million each year in the United States alone--who suffer from head and spinal cord injuries.
Since the 1920s some scientists have suspected that the source of the problem lies not in the capabilities of the nerve cells but in an inhospitable environment. More recently, Albert Aguayo and his colleagues at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, have demonstrated that, when placed in the environment of peripheral nerve cells, even CNS nerve cells can regrow axons (SN: 12/5/81, p. 363). Now Aguayo is taking advantage of this observation to direct the growth of rat CNS neurons, developing techniques that may be useful for direct repair of CNS injury and for transplanting brain tissue.
"Once you dress up like a peripheral nerve cell, you behave like one--within certain limits,' Aguayo told a recent science writers' workshop at the Cold Spring Harbor (N.Y.) Laboratory.
The technique may be thought of as an environment transplant, Aguayo says. In his experiments, Aguayo transplants into an injured rat brain or spinal cord a segment of a peripheral nerve, the sciatic nerve of the leg. The nerve cell components rapidly degenerate, but the supporting cells, called the Schwann cells, divide and remain aligned in columns, which are surrounded by a continuous tube of material called basal lamina.
"The graft is not just a bridge,' Aguayo says, "but a biologically active system.' The Schwann cells secrete molecules that stimulate nerve growth. One of these substances is nerve growth factor, a molecule that causes axonal growth under a variety of conditions.
A search for other growth-stimulating substances is under way in several laboratories, including that of Eric Shooter at Stanford University. Shooter and his colleagues have identified several candidates. One is a protein that accumulates in peripheral nerves but not in central nerves. It appears to bind fat molecules spilling out of damaged nerves and provide material for new construction. Another candidate is a molecule found in the axon's growing tip, both in young animals and in regenerating nerve cells. The scientists expect that ultimately at least several proteins will be found to be involved in the natural switching on of nerve growth.
"We don't know yet what is crucial,' Aguayo says. "But for the first time we are getting information about the molecular events that take place.' The PNS graft may also provide a surface--the basal lamina--conducive to regeneration.
Absence of inhibitory factors may be another crucial factor in the PNS environment. Hans Thoenen and Martin Schwab of the Max Planck Institute for Psychiatry in Martinsried, West Germany, propose that the CNS contains substances that inhibit nerve outgrowth. These substances may be necessary in the uninjured adult nervous system to prevent axon growth and rearrangement of connections, processes that could be detrimental to brain function.
Whatever the underlying mechanism, Aguayo has clearly demonstrated that a peripheral nerve environment can trigger regrowth of CNS axons. In a typical experiment, he makes an incision into the rat's brain or spinal cord, thereby cutting many nerve cell axons. One end of a peripheral nerve segment, the PNS graft, is inserted into the incision. Some of the damaged nerve cells then regenerate axons that grow into the PNS graft (see cover and p. 195).
The scientists, thus far, have no control over which damaged nerve cells enter the graft. Aguayo says, "It's like ice fishing. We make bait and wait for something to take it.'
Those axons that do enter the graft may grow to span even greater distances in the graft than they normally span in the brain. Severed axons in the retina, for example, can grow 2 to 3 centimeters, twice the length of the normal optic nerve. Spinal cord nerve cells have sent axons through a 7-centimeter graft.
The scientists find normal electrical activity in some of these axons, both spontaneous activity and response to stimulation. Axons in a graft to the retina have demonstrated, in response to light on the retina, electrical activity that is indistinguishable from that of axons in a normal optic nerve. And the axons that enter grafts to the part of the brainstem that receives signals from the rat's whiskers give an electrical response when the rat's whisker is tweaked.
"We assume that many cells don't respond, but now we know some cells do respond normally,' Aguayo says. "We are pleased by the fact that some of these cells communicate in appropriate language. But we don't know yet if there is communication with any target cells.'
Although it is too early to conclude that all CNS cells can send fibers into PNS grafts, such growth has been demonstrated in dozens of areas of the brain and spinal cord. Aguayo has shown that the axon regrowth arises from cells of different sizes, geometry and chemistry. However, cell types differ in what fraction of injured cells will populate a graft. This variability "provides but a hint of the multiplicity of influences that shape neuronal responses to injury in the adult mammalian brain,' Aguayo says.
While Aguayo has demonstrated that axons can grow through a PNS graft, he does not yet know whether they can establish functional connections at the other end. Such connections might be necessary to the longevity of the axons as well as to restoration of brain function, Aguayo and his colleagues reported at the recent meeting in Dallas of the Society for Neuroscience.
Practical applications of this technique might someday include using a PNS graft as a bridge to span a damaged area of the spinal cord or brain. Aguayo has already begun studies in which a PNS graft, instead of an optic nerve, connects a rat's retina to its brain. The researchers drill a hole through the skull above the site that normally receives retinal input. They lay the graft on the top of the skull and thread it through the hole. "The axons are led by this curious course back to their target,' Aguayo says.
He finds that the axons from the retina spread radially as they leave the graft and grow about 1 millimeter to the appropriate brain area, the tectum. He has observed growth cones, the specialized axon tips characteristic of growing axons during embryonic development. "We are presently looking to see if the axons eventually culminate in differentiated synapses [the specialized junction across which nerve cells communicate with chemical or electrical signals],' Aguayo says.
This technique also may open up new possibilities for brain cell transplants. "We can use this strategy to establish new interactions between distant neurons,' Aguayo says.
If fetal cells are implanted into an adult brain to replace damaged cells, the CNS environment discourages axonal growth. A PNS graft can encourage such growth as well as guide the axons across long distances. This procedure can provide not only a pathway but also a reservoir of fetal cells. Instead of implanting the cells into the brain, risking further brain damage, researchers can place them in a pouch constructed of peripheral nerve sheath and implant the pouch at a convenient location outside the brain. The graft then leads the axons to the appropriate brain site.
This approach is being attempted by Aguayo, working with Fred Gage of the University of California at San Diego and Anders Bjorklund of the University of Lund in Sweden. In a rat's brain, they destroyed connections that supply the chemical dopamine to the area called the striatum. This surgery produces a characteristic behavior--the rat goes around in circles (SN: 11/20/82, p. 325).
Next, the researchers put fetal dopamine-producing cells into a pouch connected to a PNS graft. They implanted the pouch outside the back of the brain, with the graft making a path to the striatum. The axons from the fetal cells grew into the brain through the graft.
The implant reduced the turning behavior. But when the scientists cut the graft, severing the newly established axons, the behavior returned to the previous abnormal level. "This demonstrates that there is a new pathway and a new source of innervation,' Aguayo says.
In this instance, normal function is restored by nerve cells simply providing a chemical. Important questions remain as to whether regenerated axons will be useful in those many parts of the brain where the specific pattern of connections between cells underlies function. Can the axons, all jumbled in the graft, recognize their appropriate connections? Do the target cells in the mature brain still show the characteristics that in the embryo guided incoming axons? As Aguayo asks, "Will the axons smell out the determinants of specificity in the adult organ?'
Aguayo's work on the optic nerve fibers of rats is addressing these questions. In amphibia, he notes, cut optic nerves are able to regenerate and the axons make sufficiently accurate connections to restore the animal's sight. Therefore it is possible, but not yet demonstrated, that with the aid of a PNS graft, a sensory system with all its specific connections could be restored in a mammal.
Aguayo likes to quote an early neuroanatomist who foreshadowed these developments. Santiago Ramon y Cajal, a Spanish scientist, wrote in 1928, ". . . if experimental neurology is someday to supply artificially the deficiencies in question, it must accomplish these two objects: It must give to the sprouts, by means of adequate alimentation, a vigorous capacity for growth; and place in front of the disoriented nerve cones . . ., specific orienting substances.'
Photo: In a segment cut from a peripheral nerve (left), the nerve axons degenerate (dashed line), but the surrounding Schwann cells (striped area) remain aligned in columns. In the transplantation experiments, researchers insert one end of the segment into the central nervous system (CNS). Axons from the CNS then grow through the graft, whether or not it is connected to a target tissue. At right, nerve axons grow through segments of peripheral nerve grafted into the central nervous system in many ways. The graft (G) may link cut ends of the spinal cord (1), bridge widely separated neural areas (2) or provide a conduit from the spinal cord (3), brain (4) or retina (5). The graft may also channel axons from a reservoir of transplanted fetal nerve cells into a chosen site in the adult brain (6).
Photo: A packet of fetal cells (T) transplanted into an adult rat brain sends axons through a peripheral nerve graft (G). The axons then extend from the far tip of the graft (n) into the selected region, the caudate putamen (CP) of the host brain. This micrograph was taken seven months after the grafting.
Adam Kupics (Member): What about me? 1/12/2011 7:08 AM
I recently (six months ago) damaged or severed the lower parts of my spinal cord which branch off from the bottom of my sacrum. The spinal doctors tell me there are some nerves which lead from the bottom of the spinal cord which I have severed. I have a stoma and have to self cath to toilet myself. I have no sensation down the rear of my legs and in my butt. My feet dont move (well the left one has alittle movment about 2 inches slightly to the left moving from the ankle) but nothing in the right one.
Will I ever to be able to toilet normally again. Can they regrow not repair, can they REGROW my nerves using the PCN technique?
At present, although I have limited feeling, I can stand and have full mobility in my lower limbs.
Can I be helped and are they looking for voluntary patients to experiment on.
Please email me back on firstname.lastname@example.com
I am currently a patient at ST VINCENTS HOSPITAL, KANGAROO POINT, BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA. 4001

Environmentalists Propose $50 Billion Buyout of Coal Industry - To Shut It Down 712

Felix: Gil I'm afraid I've fallen and injured myself. Can you call 911?
Gil: Of course. I'll just use my cell phone. Oh, wait. That's right. Without coal, the cell towers don't have power.
Felix: We'll take my Telsa then. Can you drive it?
Gil: Of course. Oh dear. The batteries are dead. And without coal there's no power to charge it.
Felix: Hmmm...I'm not feeling well. Can we try your solar powered car?
Gil: Sorry, too cloudy, it won't even start.
Felix: Smoke signals?
Gil: I'll just carry you to the hospital.
Felix: I guess that will have to do.
Gil: Of course, once we get there the hospital won't have power because there's no coal.
Felix: I'm beginning to re-think my life choices...
They should try Kickstarter!
For two, the cost of shutting that industry down does not cover the cost of starting new energy industries to replace it. Or were we just going to go without 37% of our electricity?

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: With an eye on the overlapping future of medicine and technology, three of the city's premier professional institutes joined hands on Thursday to implement the "bench to bedside" research system by formalising their educational collaborations.
Sri Ramachandra University (SRU) signed Memoranda of Understanding with both Anna University and the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, to focus on "translational" education and research.
"Translational medicine is a rapidly emerging discipline focussed on bridging technologies and discoveries in the laboratory with clinical research and practice," S.P. Thyagarajan, director and chief research advisor, Sri Ramachandra University, said, explaining the "bench to bedside" concept.
To meet the challenges, "a new breed of professionals conversant with the medical profession as well as the engineering profession is required", Anna University Vice-Chancellor D. Viswanathan said. Under the agreement, his university will carry out joint research projects with Sri Ramachandra University in medical electronics, biomedical engineering, environmental health engineering, biotechnology and biomedical nanotechnology, besides using Sri Ramachandra's facilities to conduct pre-clinical and clinical trials of bio-products it has developed.
Faculty and student exchanges, joint access to library resources, mutual consultancy activities and joint sponsorship of seminars and workshops are other features of the MoUs.
IIT Director M.S. Ananth pointed to the diabetic foot and the finite element model of the heart as success stories of the collaboration between professionals from the medical and technical fields. "In the area of implants, materials, DNA chips…we have a lot to offer, we can facilitate things considerably."
Looking to the future, S. Thanikachalam, chairman and director of Sri Ramachandra University's cardiac care centre, envisaged joint academic programmes. "The time is not far when you will see an abridged course in medicine and technology together…it is an emerging field."
Dr. Viswanathan predicted an impact on the medical technology industry. "In India, we spend billions on importing medical technology and equipment…By 2020, I hope we can establish an indigenous industry so that we do not have to import any more," he said. These MoUs serve to widen and strengthen the existing collaborations. The IIT's Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering Departments already collaborate with Sri Ramachandra University's Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Orthopedics and Dentistry Departments for both Ph.D. and sponsored research projects, which have resulted in 10 publications. Similarly, Anna University's Medical Electronics and Medical Physics Departments are working with Sri Ramachandra University's Cardiology and Health Management Departments for Ph.D. programmes and electives in M.E. teaching programmes.
Sri Ramachandra University also released the first edition of its Journal of Medicine, which it hopes to develop into a world-class research publication devoted to all aspects of health science.

Goldberg falsely claims that DHS reports never "use the all-purpose term 'left-wing.'"
"Goldberg falsely claims that DHS reports never "use the all-purpose term 'left-wing.'""
Joining the chorus of conservative voices that are hyperventilating over the recently-leaked Department of Homeland Security report on "rightwing extremists," National Review's Jonah Goldberg wrote yesterday that though "DHS has done reports on anti-war, environmental, and other groups," it was his "understanding is that they didn't — and wouldn't — use the all-purpose term 'left-wing' to describe those threats." Later in the day, when a reader pointed him to an April 2001 DOE report titled "Left-Wing Extremism: The Current Threat," Goldberg replied that he didn't know of a report that "came out after 9/11." But this too is wrong, considering the January 26, 2009 DHS report, "Leftwing Extremists Likely to Increase Use of Cyber Attacks over the Coming Decade."

KUALA LUMPUR: Youngster Sonia Cheah's good showing in the recent Axiata Cup has given Malaysia a reason to smile ahead of the Sudirman Cup at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil from May 19-26.
The women's singles has always been considered one of Malaysia's weakest departments. But now, they can at least count on Sonia to fight for a point during the world's mixed team event.
Sonia was at her best in the second leg of the Axiata Cup in Kuala Lumpur. The 19-year-old Sonia was given the break to play as the first women's singles instead of her more experienced compatriots – Tee Jing Yi and her elder sister Lydia – in all the three ties for Malaysia against Singapore, Vietnam and Asia All Stars.
The world No. 46 played beyond expectations, giving Singapore's Gu Jun a run for the money before losing. On the second day, she overcame her nerves to beat Vu Thi Trang of Vietnam.
She saved her best for last against the Asia All Stars. Despite trailing at 18-20 in the decider against world No. 9 Tsai Tzu-ying, Sonia fought her way up to pull off a 21-18, 19-21, 22-20 win.
When asked what went through her mind especially in the crucial stages of the rubber game, a confident Sonia said: "I am not a player who easily gives up. I always believe I have a chance of winning in every match."
For Sonia, she will use the breakthrough win at the Axiata Cup as a launch pad for greater things and fill up the vacuum left by Wong Mew Choo, who retired in 2011.
If Sonia is given the mandate to play in the Sudirman Cup, she will likely play against Tzu-ying again in the group stages. Third seeds Malaysia have been drawn with Taiwan and Germany in Group C. The top two teams will advance to the quarter-finals.
With Sonia's promising show and with others in the team like world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei, Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong, Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying and Woon Khe Wei-Vivian Hoo, Malaysia can now dream of reaching the semi-finals again.
Malaysia were the semi-finalists in the 2010 edition in Guangzhou.
Sonia, however, believes she still has a lot more to learn.
"I should not be judged by one performance. Give me time to be a better player," she said.
Sonia will now be hoping to ride on her momentum in the Australian Open Grand Prix Gold starting in Sydney tomorrow.
She has been drawn in the same half with top seed Lindaweni Fanetri of Indonesia, Japan's Nozomi Okuhara, Thailand's Nichaon Jindapon and Lydia.
In the lower half are second seed Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Thai-land, Japan's Sayaka Takahashi, Ma Pai-hsiao of Taiwan and two other Malaysians – Jing Yi and Yang Li Lian.

In any electrical installation, the Power Factor or PF, refers to the ratio of power that is actually used by a particular network and that which is supplied to the network. The former is measured in kW while the latter is measured in kVA. In simple terms, the Power Factor Brisbane calculations measure how efficiently a particular network is using electrical power.
The problem for most of the big power users is that most of the utility companies charge you based on the power that is supplied, that is in kVA. This is especially the case when your commercial or industrial installation is using a lot of power. This can result in you paying more than is necessary on the power that you are not actually using. It makes economic sense to pay for only what is used. This is why most of the Brisbane companies are deeply concerned with the Power Factor Brisbane ratios which measure how efficient their circuits are and how efficiently they are using the electrical power. A power factor of 1 is ideal as it contributes towards the reduction of the peak demand charges Brisbane readings for most businesses, thus resulting in great cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
Brisbane Peak Demand Reduction
One of the ways which companies use to reduce demand charges Brisbane calculations is by investing in peak demand reduction through the Power Factor Correction. Given that these charges are set to skyrocket in 2015 thanks to the revised charges for the companies consuming a certain amount of electricity, this is something that your company should give some serious thought.
Without an efficient electrical network with a high Power Factor, you are going to be hit very hard and this is going to directly affect your business bottom line. It is therefore imperative for every business to find out how they can reduce their peak demand power usage or their power factor. This can be done through a process called Power Factor Correction or the peak demand reduction.
How will this new regime work out? Well, the utility companies are introducing a new demand pricing that will cost the kVA power or the apparent power to your network. You will pay based on what is supplied to you and not what you use. For businesses, it is therefore necessary to build very efficient circuits with very high Power Factor Brisbane ratios so that the power supplied is almost equal to the power used in the network. This will ensure that you do not pay for what you do not use.
In order to escape this new and punishing pricing regime, it is necessary to hire an engineer in order to carry out an assessment of your distribution network in order to determine the efficiency of the network based on the Power Factor. This will assess your readiness for the new demand charges regime in order to ensure that you are not found on the wrong side of the pricing regime. If your distribution network is not as efficient, it is time to apply the Power Factor Brisbane corrections to bring your network up to date and increase its efficiency.

My problem was that the capacitors on my motherboard did not show any physical signs for over two years.
Re: FreeBSD random bug
Is there any way to test this? To make sure? Restarting Xorg always fixes the problem.
BTW this happens with the newest drivers too. 1.0-8178

I have found that Gnome is messing up all SDL applications. Does anyone know why this is? Have simular problems? If I restart X with blackbox, I can run quake4, glgears, etc.
When I use Gnome, I get the errors below.
Any help would be great.

The all-new 370Z Roadster goes on sale in late summer as a 2010 model and features a new power-folding convertible top with single-action operation and automatic roof latch. It also offers more refinement than any Z(R) convertible that has come before — including standard Nissan Intelligent Key, as well as available heating and cooling ventilated net seats, Bluetooth(R) Hands-free Phone System, satellite radio and an advanced Nissan Navigation System with 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive.
The performance-inspired 2009 NISMO 370Z features dramatic aerodynamic styling, a 350-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine and a specially tuned suspension. It also offers unique interior treatments and special NISMO-branded 19-inch super lightweight forged alloy wheels. It is scheduled to go on sale at Nissan retailers nationwide beginning in June.
"The addition of these two exciting new Z(R)s to the dynamic new 370Z Coupe gives us three times the firepower as any competitive affordable sports car on the market today," said
Full information on both new vehicles is available at nissannews.com.
About the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster
Based on the current generation 370Z Coupe (introduced in
The Z(R) Roadster departs from the Z(R) Coupe with its exclusive high back seats, added structural body reinforcements and convertible top. The 370Z Roadster's roof was designed with an emphasis on three key areas: to provide a sleek silhouette matching the new Z(R)'s stunning styling with the top up or down, to offer easy single-action open-close operation, and to provide an enjoyable top-down experience with reduced wind turbulence and all-climate driver/passenger comfort.
And, true to its sports car heritage, the Z(R) Roadster's interior is completely driver-centric, with its three-layer design grouping items by how a driver sees information, operates the controls and is held in place — so drivers feel completely connected and engaged whenever and wherever they drive, top up or down.
The 370Z Roadster is offered in 370Z Roadster and 370Z Touring Roadster models.
About the 2009 Nissan NISMO 370Z
The all-new, second generation NISMO Z(R) continues the tradition of the original by offering unique performance and design attributes that true sports car enthusiasts are looking for — straight from the factory. Like the limited production NISMO 350Z introduced two years earlier, the new NISMO 370Z is a tuner-Z(R) enthusiast's dream, featuring 350 horsepower and 276 lb-ft of torque, racing-inspired exterior and interior styling, a specially tuned suspension and special super-lightweight forged alloy wheels. The NISMO 370Z was developed by Nissan's Specialty Vehicles Group in conjunction with Autech Japan, Nissan's longstanding conversion partner.
The NISMO 370Z's standard 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) combines with a refined 4-wheel independent suspension and advanced FM (Front Midship) platform to offer responsive performance and handling. As expected of a true performance machine, the NISMO 370Z is offered with only one transmission — a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with standard SynchroRev Match(TM), which allows perfectly matched heel-toe-like downshifting.
The NISMO 370Z also features enhanced body rigidity and a special NISMO-tuned suspension. Unique 5-spoke 19-inch RAYS forged aluminum-alloy wheels are mounted with Yokohama ADVAN Sport Y-rated high-performance tires. Nissan Sport Brakes and a Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD) are also standard.
The new NISMO Z(R)'s functional, fully integrated aerodynamic body pieces include an extended front nose, a fully integrated chin spoiler, side sills and a unique rear bumper help control airflow under the vehicle, while the functional rear spoiler also increases downforce.
The interior includes NISMO logo seats with black and red fabric and red stitching, a NISMO-branded tachometer, steering wheel with smooth leather and red parallel stitching, smooth leather-wrapped shift knob and aluminum trimmed pedals. A serialized plaque of authenticity is also matched to each NISMO Z(R), identifying its unique serial and model year designation.

The Wallachs' evening comes like an echo, long after the end of their working relationship with Williams, a relationship that itself faded out just as the playwright's career was beginning to get loopier and more improbable. The Wallachs don't speak of the later career, and one wonders if they even realize how much of the work of Williams's second phase might suit them. The quirky little sketch called Lifeboat Drill, for instance (which premiered at the EST Marathon), or The Two Character Play not that I'm in a hurry to see another production of that curiously botched and obsessive piece, but, like everything by Williams, it has scenes that jump vividly at you.
Williams's later career isn't the only thing that goes unmentioned in Tennessee Williams Remembered. Wallach and Jackson spent a good deal of time working with Williams in their early careers, but the relationship was all about work and the social occasions that accompanied it, not with the deeper bonds of friendship. This was partly Williams's fault; the friends closest to him tended not to be stable heterosexual couples busily producing children, as the Wallachs were.
Partly, also, it came from their suffering the common doom of American theater artists: In the middle of their life's journey, having become Broadway stars, they were swallowed up by the leviathan of southern California, which engulfed them in its sunshiny darkness until, like Jonah, they were finally spewed back to Manhattan to resume their stage careers. Their résumés, like those of most eminent American actors of their generation, have a painful gap in the middle, when they ought to have been doing the great roles, but the New York theater was not doing the great plays; movies and TV shows, which pay better, were there to be made, and there were three children to be raised. Dickens would have called this story Nobody's Fault, the title he initially planned to use for the tale of sensitive souls crushed by the economic system that ultimately became Little Dorrit.
Happily, the Wallachs came back to us uncrushed, with their stage skills intact, and have been having a busy late flowering. Wallach is frailer than he was, but still forceful and alert. Jackson's concentration is skittery, but her slips and hesitations don't stop her from seizing the big moments with a power that makes most younger actresses look pretty meager in comparison. And, of course, nothing pleases an audience like watching actors who are coupled in real life play a love scene; the uxorious affection on display at the Arclight pours over the spectators like maple syrup on pancakes.
Williams, they tell us, is the source of their relationship: They met doing an Equity Library Theater production of his one-act This Property Is Condemned for director Terese Hayden (a doyenne of the Off-Broadway movement). "We were the only two people in the cast," Jackson tells us, "so I fell in love with him." They do the opening scene from this play, which is about adolescent runaways the Wallachs are well into their seventies and then cause a collective breath-catching in the house by showing the soundless film Hayden made of the production. They look, in the film, like the children of the couple we're watching onstage.
For most of the intermissionless evening, they work their way through the chronology of their joint career with Williams, slipping in anecdotes between the scenes they perform, a key one from each play. They do the big confrontation from Summer and Smoke (Jackson was in the original production but never got to play Alma); Mangiacavallo's first meeting with Rosa from The Rose Tattoo (Wallach created the male lead); and the Kilroy-Esmeralda "I am sincere" love scene from Camino Real (another role Wallach originated). At the end, each of them recites a Williams poem. He does "Life Story" and she does "Gold Tooth Woman."
But that's the extent of the evening's acting; the rest is amiable padding. The anecdotes are largely authentic; they include several that add up to an affectionate, admiring, but not one-dimensional portrait of producer Cheryl Crawford, who saw Williams through most of these angst-ridden productions. The Wallachs read excerpts from Williams's correspondence with her, which suggest a delicious bedside-table book in the offing. They link their casting in Williams plays to the births of their children. They imitate Tennessee's peculiar braying laugh and say droll things about his drinking. And before you know it, they've said good night and danced their way offstage.

Congenige Randhi Dilhara Fernando (born 19 July 1979) is a cricketer who plays for Sri Lanka. He is a right-handed pace bowler. Dilhara studied at De Mazenod College Kandana. He started off his school career as a basketball player but was spotted by the college cricket coach because of his build and height.
Fernando is best known for his rare technique when bowling the slower ball by splitting the fingers on the ball as it is released from the hand.
Fernando debuted for Sri Lanka in a Test Match against Pakistan at Colombo in June 2000. Six months later in a game at Durban he clocked 91.9 mph. He bowled at 93.40 mph vs Bangladesh at India. His international career however has been limited due to injury. In the period of a year he suffered two stress fracture of the back and as a result missed the their home series against Australia in 2004.
In the 2010 tour of Australia, in the 3rd and final ODI at The Gabba, he clocked speeds reaching 150 kilometres per hour (93 mph).[citation needed]
In 2008 he appeared briefly in English county cricket, playing one County Championship and two Pro40 matches at the end of the season for Worcestershire.
He is a Christian (Catholic) and sometimes attends church with Chaminda Vaas.[1]
ODI achievements[edit]
On 13 October 2007, in the 5th game of an ODI series with England, at Colombo, Fernando took career-best bowling figures of 6 for 27, as Sri Lanka thrashed England by 107 runs. This was the first time Fernando had taken more than 4 wickets in an ODI innings, and his feat placed him 5th in the list of best ODI bowling by a Sri Lankan.[2]
Fernando completed the series with 158 career ODI wickets. As of 17 June 2011, only Chaminda Vaas, Sanath Jayasuriya and Muttiah Muralitharan have taken more ODI wickets for Sri Lanka (and all three have taken over 300 ODI wickets).[3]
However,Fernando did not live up to his full potential. His lack of consistency and control over deliveries made him less reliable bowler at international level. Undoubtedly,Fernando could have been a lethal weapon for Lankan attack like his mate Lasith Malinga had he stuck to the basics of control and consistency.

Best starter support?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
I'm always afraid of being stuck playing support, but I don't really have any true support champs, so I'd like to get one or two. I've played Nami and she was fun, and Soraka a while ago (both during a free week), but I'd like some input on who would be a good one to buy in case I'm stuck having to support.
EZ mode Taric is you best bet if yo're new to the role
Fear Cannot Kill you, But...
RE: remake
Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.
Try first - Taric, Sona, Soraka
Next level - Nunu, Lulu, Janna
Then - Janna, Thresh, Blitz, Alistar, Nami, Leona, Zyra
General Wool - Shaco
Gamer Logic - Anyone worse is a noob, anyone better is a tryhard /v/irgin
Taric is probably the easiest support to get into that also is most yoloqueue happy. Thresh is good, but relies on teamates not being idiots. Leona is great for initiations but relies on coordination with teamates. Janna is very solid choice both as a support and decent for playing with idiots but not as braindead as Taric.
Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general -Mark Rippetoe
Taric is good... But I found him not as easy as a lot of people say he is.
I'd say Sona.
Loads of aura's, great sustain for your adc, good poke, good for setting up kills with ulti.
Sona, Thresh, and Blitzcrank are my three favorites. Thresh and Blitz are harder to play, but more rewarding IMO. Sona is very easy to play and her ult can be game-changing.
Now Playing: BL2, TF2, LoL
i5-3570k | Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz RAM | EVGA GeForce GTX670 FTW | Asus P8Z77-V LK | Western Digital 7200RPM 1TB HDD
Also supports rely heavily on who your adc is, match-ups, and the skill of your adc.
For ex: Nunu and Cait/Twitch is just evil together, but if the Cait/Twitch is passive and doesnt know when to engage you're better off just bringing Janna. Also Nunu is poor against Sivir since his snowball is slow.
Morgana goes very will with Draven (if she lands a root and shields him after chances are he can inflict huge damage on what he's hiting) but if you can't root or the Draven just sits back Taric is the safer choice.
Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general -Mark Rippetoe
Dartkun posted...
Try first - Taric, Sona, Soraka
putting janna and nami at the same level of leona, thresh and blitz
you're dead to me
LoL NA IGN: MyakkoFirst|steam: rihawf| Nami main

Also supports rely heavily on who your adc is, match-ups, and the skill of your adc.
I prefer Leona with Draven. The bonus damage from sunlight proc's and Draven's stuff blows people up at early levels. Even at level 1, if you can magically land a Q and exhaust, they're probably dead even if they flash.
The only problem I find is when someone underestimates their damage and refuses to go in no matter how many times you ping. So you basically need a reliable ADC that communicates.

In the newly released BWF ranking, Indian men's singles, Parupalli Kashyap after his semifinal and quarterfinal finishes at Swiss Open and India Open Super Series respectively, he moved up four places to the 19th place.
Another Indian shuttler, national champion Kidambi Srikanth, who defeated world number 10 Nyugen Tien Minh of Vietnam in the Singapore Open's second round, remains static at 25th.
Sindhu was ranked world No.9 after reaching the finals of the Syed Modi International tournament in January, but the defeat to two-time All England champion Shixian Wang of China at India Open Super Series last week cost P.V. Sindhu a place as the Indian shuttler slipped to the 11th position.
However, Indian ace shuttler Saina Nehwal was still steady at the eighth place in the latest BWF ranking released on Thursday.
No other Indian shuttler rank in the top-25 of the men's, women's and mixed doubles rankings.
