Anthony Fulps "is a really good kid," said Carl Whitney, a youth baseball dad in Garden Grove. Anthony is a volunteer for West Grove Youth Baseball, where James has been a coach and umpire, and often works in the snack bar. "Anthony used to help with his father's practices."
Conner Fulps, Anthony's younger brother, said the family appreciates the outpouring of support from friends.
"He might have hurt himself but thank God he is still with us," Conner wrote on his Facebook page. "Thank you all for praying. And keeping us in your thoughts means a lot ... Also prayers go out to the other students on that bus. Everyone on that bus is a hero."
Also on the bus was Calvin Aceves of Riverside's La Sierra High School. Aceves said he had dozed off just before the crash.
"The impact was so hard my body flew sideways and then I landed in the aisle on the ground," Aceves said. "I felt the heat wave on my face and that's when I started to panic, and I started banging on my window."
"People were just shoving their way out – managed to get out the emergency window – so there I was," Aceves said, "barefoot, and then I stood for two seconds about to jump out but waited because some girl fell hard and was barely standing up."
When the window wouldn't open, Aceves rushed to the emergency exit. People were pushing and shoving to get out. When he finally hit the ground, he took off running to get away from the bus.
"I didn't want to land on her, but all I saw were rocks. I didn't even think about it again and I jumped and ran and I didn't look back. We all ran, we were all running and we ran all the way to the other side, across the southbound lane," Aceves said.
"I grabbed some lady and was yelling, 'There's people in there! My friends!' Unfortunately, they passed away," Aceves said. "Even though I had just met them, they were my friends."
Aceves was released from the Enloe center on Friday, and with the help of family got on a noon flight from Oakland to Ontario and was home by late afternoon.
Twins Marisa and Marisol Serrato were about to become the first members of their family to attend college. Marisa was killed in the crash.
Marisa nearly didn't make the trip. She was on a waiting list and only got on the bus after someone canceled. Marisol was not on the bus that was hit.
"Even though the mother only has a high school diploma, she's always tried to excel and have her daughters excel in education so they can have better opportunities than she and her husband," said their godmother, Maria Elena Rodriguez.
The bedroom they share in their home with two other sisters has one wall filled with certificates for academic achievement and perfect attendance for both girls. They already had done enough course work at the time of the crash to graduate from high school.
The girls also played guitar together – favoring Christian music – ate together, read the Bible together and did homework together.

Famous as :Alternative rock band
Birth Date :2005
Birth Place :Los Angeles, California
Claim to fame :Single "When Your Heart Stops Beating" (2006)
Album "When Your Heart Stops Beating" was made available in three different colors: blue, pink, and green.
The title "Cliff Diving" was inspired from Mark Hoppus' childhood experience in which his friends used to jump off the roof of a house into a pool and called it "cliff diving" due to the similarity.
Postponed part of their 2006 fall tour due to Travis Barker's arm injury which occurred during the making of "When Your Heart Stops Beating" music video.
Sold their first album with a free pink "Cliff Diving" 7" a day before the record's release date during their show at the 9:30 Club.
The title "No It Isn't" came from Mark Hoppus' initial reluctance to let people know that the song was about Delonge.
Their single of "Make You Smile" was initially titled "Puppy Killing Machine."
Single "Lycanthrope" was featured in the soundtrack of Activision's video game "Tony Hawk's Project 8", in which Travis Barker became an un-lockable character.
Their song "No It Isn't" was written to express their feelings toward other Blink-182 member Tom Delonge.
Debut album "When Your Heart Stops Beating" was previously rumored to be titled "Little Death" which was also the name of one of the tracks included in the LP.

Concussed Daniel Paille won't travel with Bruins
|12.09.11 at 4:48 pm ET
Bruins forward Daniel Paille will not travel to Columbus for Saturday night's game against the Blue Jackets after coach Claude Julien told reporters Friday that the forward had been diagnosed with a mild concussion.
Paille was hit into the boards Thursday in the first period by Panthers forward Krys Barch and was slow to get up. He left the game and did not return. With Paille out, Jordan Caron will jump back into the lineup. Normally a healthy scratch, Caron last played Tuesday night when he replaced Tyler Seguin.
This is the second upper-body injury of the season for Paille. He missed three games in November after taking a slapshot to the face against the Islanders.

State budget woes affected the schools and the city, resulting in job losses and cuts across the board. The schools and the city heard concerns about student safety in the town's crosswalks.

Oakdale has lost one of its all-time great cowboy ambassadors.
Making a quarterly report to the Oak Valley Hospital Board of Directors recently, the Citizen's Oversight Committee Chair, Mickey Peabody, reported that the committee is "satisfied with expenditure of funds and very pleased that the project remains ahead of schedule and on budget." A combination of favorable weather and diligent efforts by contractors was credited with the project being a month ahead of schedule.

Wearing a cowboy hat to reinforce his point, Oakdale City Manager Bryan Whitemyer pioneered the Monday, March 16 Oakdale City Council meeting, telling everyone that at no time the city was ever considering changing its 'Cowboy Capital' motto (see related story on this page).
City of Oakdale residents have long felt recognition and pride with the city's motto of "Cowboy Capital of the World" but when the Oakdale Travel and Visitors Bureau introduced a marketing slogan of "Pioneer Perfect," many residents expressed outrage, calling for the city and OTVB not to meddle with something already in place.

State-owned miner NMDC Limited may spend nearly Rs 2,300 crore to increase iron ore production from its Bailadila mines in Chhattisgarh by about 9 million tonnes per annum, according to official sources.
The miner has already approached the Ministry of Environment and Forests for necessary clearances for mining activity, the sources said.
"The proposal has already been submitted to the MoEF for enhancement of production of iron ore from Deposit no.4.
The estimated capital cost of the project will be Rs 1,899.74 crore," sources said.
It is expected that the mine can generate 7 million tonnes per annum over a period of time, sources indicated.
The mine is basically to cater to the iron ore requirement of upcoming 3-million tonnes integrated steel plant being set up by NMDC at Bastar and also other steel industries in Chhattisgarh, sources said.
"Another proposal is to expand the capacity of existing mine (Deposit No.10) from 4.2 million tonnes to 6 million tonnes with an investment outlay of Rs 385 crore," they further said adding that the life of mine will be about 37 years with a production rate of 6 million tonnes.
The investments will be made on the mines as and when required, sources explained.
The Bailadila iron ore range is estimated to contain 1,200 million tonnes of high grade iron ore distributed in 14 deposits.
NMDC is presently producing about 20 million tonnes of iron ore from its Bailadila sector mines and 10 million tonnes from Donimalai sector mines in Karnataka.
NMDC has set a target of achieving 50 million tonnes production of iron ore by 2016-17. The PSU produced 30.2 tonnes during 2013-14 against 27.18 tonnes in 2012-13.
It also expects its 3 million tonnes per annum capacity Nagarnar steel plant in Chhattisgarh to be commissioned by 2015-16.
All the major packages of the project have been awarded, a senior official of the company had earlier said.

Prices seem to have fell through the floor near here. Last week the local BP station was selling diesel at £1.459 litre. Today it was down to £1.369!
Petrol was down to £1.319 Litre.

Just filled up at Asda, £1.35.7 per litre (first time I've seem a price other than .9p in a long time).
The local BP is still £1.47.9, that's 55.4p a gallon more expensive than Asda, well worth the extra 5 mile each way trip for a tank full...

For the independent garage to supply a cheaper fuel he would have to buy from the fuel depot a huge volume (30.000 galls) of fuel.
Buying fuel to retail is also one of the few money up front before delivery businesses.

"It's the same all over.
Some people think "brand name" fuel, like BP & Shell, is better than "own brand" fuel in supermarkets. They don't seem to realise that it comes out of the same hole in the ground, and the same tanks in the refinery.
Yes, BP & Shell have superior fuels with additives, but they're even more expensive."
You would think this is true. However, I filled up my Focus a few times on Tesco petrol as it was cheaper. The car juddered quite noticeably to the point I thought there was an underlying problem. Also, the fuel efficiency went through the floor.
I tried our local waitrose for a while (a couple of pence a litre more) and was instantly pleased with the massive reduction in juddering and increased fuel efficency. I now use BP (another penny a litre or so more expensive) and my car runs like a dream with a near 10% improved efficiency over the waitrose petrol.
I will never use Tesco petrol again.

The next time you see a tanker driver at a Tesco filling station, ask them where they got their fuel from. You might be surprised!.
But having said that, I have stated in the past that I would never use petrol from Sainsbury's forecourts.

"The car juddered quite noticeably to the point I thought there was an underlying problem. Also, the fuel efficiency went through the floor."
To get something as drastic as that caused by fuel suggests that either you filled up with the wrong fuel or they mistakenly put paraffin in the petrol bunker. No specified grade of fuel will lead to that sort of problem.

Compensate the extra half tank of the fuel weight by sending any passenger on by bus at their cost. Then you will get the benefit of the saving.

Coming back to the car juddering effect. I had that once, and so did many other people on that day. Diesel had some how been mixed with petrol at the filling station. Took three calls and responses from the AA, before the eventual problem and culprit was found. Cost the forecourt company a small fortune to correct the problems.

Graffiti artists transform Bristol

Bristol graffiti artists urging youngsters to bowl
Graffiti artists in Bristol have transformed a bowls club in the city in the hope of attracting younger members to the sport.
It's ahead of Upfest - Europe's largest urban paint festival which takes place at the end of this month.
The Greville Smyth Club will be just one of the many places in Bedminster and Southville to receive a make-over as part of the festival that's now in its sixth year.

Noticed the new art installation at Temple Meads?
If you're travelling through Bristol Temple Meads this week you might notice something different as you approach the station. A new art installation highlighting the city's famous graffiti culture has been put in place - and it's quite a contrast to Brunel's famous architecture.
It's to celebrate the launch of the latest project to regenerate the run down Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone. There are already plans for a 12,000 seater arena, now the Council want the public to make their mark too.
VIDEO: Looking at "See No Evil"
It took 45 artists from across the world wielding 3,500 cans of spray paint a week to transform Nelson Street with street art. A record 50,000 people of all ages dropped in to see the buildings being covered in graffiti. We sent our cameraman to film the finished artworks. Take a look!
Organisers say See No Evil was big success
This year's See No Evil street art project in Bristol attracted a record crowd of 50,000 people over the weekend.
In total, there were 3,500 spray cans used, 40 global street artists attended and 12 multi-story buildings graffitied over the course of 7 days on Nelson Street.
Organisers described the event as a 'huge success'.
Thousands attend 'See No Evil' Event in Bristol
Thirty of the world's leading graffiti artists have been repainting Nelson Street in Bristol. It's part of the second See no Evil event in the city and is Europe's largest street art project. Watch Alexandra Lodge's full report here.
Members of the public have a go at graffiti
Police in Bristol are inviting members of the public to try their hand at Graffiti. Officers have set aside a wall in Nelson Street for people to have a go at some street art.
However they are reminding everyone that they must have permission to paint on buildings otherwise it's against the law. The See No Evil street art project is the largest in Europe.

Are you looking for the ultimate gamers keyboard? We say the ultimate because you are supplied with 18 quick shortcut keys, in addition to a crisp LCD screen that can display a myriad of useful information.
There really isn't a whole lot to installing the G15. If you can put your shoes on, you can get this keyboard up and going. Once installed however, there is a bit more that you have to do in order to get the LCD display to work correctly.
Provided in the box was a driver CD. On this CD is the software that will allow you to use the G15's LCD display. The software version on the CD is v1.02 and at the time this review goes live, Logitech's website still has this version as the latest software version.
Before we can get to the installation of the software, Logitech has system requirements that your PC must meet in order for you to use the G15 to its full potential. Unsure if you're PC meets the requirements? Rest easy as it doesn't take a beefy PC to run this software but the G15 does require Windows XP.
Once the autorun of the CD takes over, you are presented with a lot of extra software that you can either choose to install or leave alone. As I always do, I did not install any of the extras as I am not interested in any of the offerings.
Once installed, the program you use to control the LCD display is fairly straight forward and to the point. You start out with a window that has a drop box in it. You can drop this box down and select the supported game.
From this screen, you can also assign functions to your macro 'G' keys that we spoke of earlier. The following pictures show you what all you can do with your macro keys. These are not regulated for gaming but rather, anyone can use these keys for almost any situation.
As you can see, there are many different functions that you can assign your macro keys to that can help you in a game. While I don't really thing that taking my fingers off of the WASD keys in BF2 is a good idea, there are times when the action is slow, that you can hit these keys and bring up whatever information that you need.
In Rome: Total War, the macro keys really shine. As stated earlier, FPS games require a lot of attention and fast reflexes. While a RTS is no less intense, the pace is sometimes a bit slower and the macro keys allow you to control your units a lot closer than one would have been able before the G15. You can select only infantry or only mounted units. This is similar to assigning a group number to an army but being able to select like units with one button is nice.
Turn on, Tune in, drop out'.an LCD adventure:
Now we are getting into the most interesting piece of the G15, the LCD display. As stated in the software section of the review, there is a lot that you can control and have displayed on the LCD display. These include:
Initial applet selection
Music and Multimedia
CPU and RAM usage. Note the CPU usage bar and the two separate bars, one for each of my 4600+'s cores.

Samuel's Gorge Shiraz 2005
Syrah/Shiraz from McLaren Vale, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
This wine has deep mulberry and ink well tones on the nose. It has plumy and baked quince on the palate. In my mind it is relatively easy to hit volume of fruit (particularly on the palate) but it is hard to hit pitch. The palate finishes with texture and vibrancy. I would think this wine will cellar very well. 10 years +.
Critical Acclaim
Australian Wine Companion - "Complex aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate and a touch of earth; a very powerful and equally long palate reflects the same characters right through to the finish."
Samuel's Gorge Winery
The wines of Samuel's Gorge are driven by their texture. There is a common rustic nature supporting the fruit drive in all three wines. Winemaker Justin McNamee embraces savory elements to complement the natural richness in the wines. He works hard to ensure that all the features of the wine are all in line and ultimately present wines that are great to drink and yet have structural support to ensure that they cellar well.

About McLaren ValeView a map of McLaren Vale wineries
McLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area with the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which contributes a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines.
Notable FactsIn McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of Australia, Shiraz and Grenache are the most-planted grapes of the region. While red rules, whites are able to hold their own here too. With the warm yet reasonable Mediterranean climate, white grapes like Chardonnay, Semillon and even some Sauvignon Blanc grow well. The wines are round and smooth and the producers in the region are excellent.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

1 rating, 1 with review49/15/2008Beautiful in color, this also has a perfect balance as it comes into the mouth and on the finish. I look forward to keeping this one in my cellar, as it's already a favorite and can only improve. Wonderful!
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

It captures to .jps files which I would guess are jpeg 3d stereoscopic format. Because I can only view them in 3d vision photo viewer.

Trying to re-install Win XP - my laptop is now stuck at 'setup is being restarted' and will do nothi

I tried to reload Windows XP from the disk - It stopped at 39 mins remaining and now says "setup restarting" It then goes to a black screen with the cursor arrow in the middle and will do nothing more. I cannot access any commands to start it or stop it or cancel it. Searching Google I can see that this is not an uncommon problem yet so far I have found no answer.

I had a similar problem several years ago and I think I tried a couple of things. One I powered down the PC manually by holding the power button down and then restarted. The installation may or may not continue.
The other thing I tried was again powering down the PC after removing the setup disk and giving the disk a good clean I started installation again again.
As it was some time ago I cannot remember which one worked.

It may be because startup is still accessing your hard drive to boot from. You may see the CD light come on or hear the cd spin, but it is booting from your hard drive where that setup is coming from.
Restart your computer, and begin tapping F2 key which takes you into setup. Use arrow keys to go to boot tab, and make your CD drive is 1st in the boot sequence, before the hard drive. Save, exit.

I think if you read the thread starter you will see that the poster's problems are when XP needs to restart midway through installation so I am not sure how your advice helps as he is long past the stage of changing the boot sequence and the hard-drive would have been formatted before installation began.

If you left the XP CD in the drive when it rebooted you need to remove it may be before it starts back up

did you disconnect all 'extras' printer, drives etc before you started the XP install?
You can try this fix as you are now stuck midway in the install ClickHere (full instructions) it involves telling the install via DOS to skip the install of some drivers it is stuck on.

Try F3, which should take you out of the install so that you can start over again?

The move, which will enable businesses, charities and individuals to identify themselves online as part of the global Scottish diaspora, is being hailed by the organisation behind the launch as a significant landmark for the country's digital sector.
Gavin McCutcheon, a director of .scot creators the Dot Scot Registry, said: "This is a fantastic day for Scotland's online community and a real step forward in terms of how the country and its people can identify themselves in the digital marketplace."
More than 10,000 organisations and individuals have lodged expressions of interest in registering .scot addresses.

I've heard it pronounced tie-turs, tee-turs and (this one always makes me laugh) tea-trees, but the most relevantly educated people I've met predominantly pronounced it tie-turs.
Hahaha I'm partial to "tea-trees!" I've always said tie-turs, but then again I can never pronounce Kegels either.

So there you are. The jury is still out on this little adventure. After devoting three full days getting this system up to snuff and migrating all our applications and data over, I'm hoping this is a workable solution. I also very much like having the option to reboot and have a Mac environment for some of the tools I use on the Mac side of the computing world (I don't like OS X, but some applications are invaluable).
I'm disturbed by some of the weird behaviors (the keyboard repeats, the sound issue, the occasional slow-downs, and the challenge of getting video to full-screen properly), but overall, it's a crisp system that works surprisingly well.
And, despite all our hand-wringing, Windows 8 doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as we'd all worried it would be – at least once you put the Start menu back in place.
Stay tuned. I'll have more to say, including details about setting this all up to begin with. But, for now, I'm just going to see if the machine behaves itself for a few days.
POSTSCRIPT: I've typed about 12,000 characters and the keyboard hasn't gone into repeat mode. Let's hope it continues to behave itself.
Special thanks to Ed Bott for his hints for getting this set up.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by lilyflower6 perfect! i have been looking for the perfect white lace dress for a really long time! though this one is a little pricey it's totally worth it because it's so unique. i love how it makes my waist look super tiny and is very flattering to my collar bones. perfect for dressing up for the holidays and as an easy summer dress 12.21.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mtuton Comfy and Versatile I was about to order a medium, but after reading the reviews I ordered a small. I am 5'8" and 136lbs, and the small fits perfectly (just slightly loose at the waist), so I would say to size down. The dress is super soft on the inside and the fabric is lightweight. I was surprised to see that the dress was under $100; great buy! 12.17.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by lacker008 Gorgeous, but roomy I ordered the black and silver combo dress and I absolutely love it! It is very flattering, but a little roomier then expected. I am 5'4'' and roughly 130 pounds and I ordered a small. I usually order extra small or small in Free People dresses. I may return it for a smaller size. 12.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by amberklee29 GORGEOUS Bought the dress in black and wow it is just gorgeous. Everything about it is perfect. You walk through the hallway and everybody just has something to say about the dress. 12.15.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tooey Lovely party dress This is a great little dress for parties. I got it in ivory and one thing to keep in mind is it's just a bit see-through, but this doesn't detract from the dress for me. Love it. 12.13.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by crohrig Not My Favorite... Sent It Back I got this dress in the ivory color, and was pretty disappointed with it. While the fit was great (I found it true to size) and the dress was flattering, I thought it looked pretty cheap. The straps, at least on the ivory dress, looked like glorified bra straps. The metallic fabric on the bottom just looked odd and, again, cheap. The part that bothered me most, though, was the bottom of the dress. It wasn't hemmed at all, there was no bottom seam or anything. It just looked like someone took a pair of scissors and cut off the bottom of the dress! I know this is an inexpensive dress by Free People standards, but it definitely looked cheap and wasn't very well made. This dress is one I quickly sent back! 12.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sammylebs great dress for new years I bought this dress in the grey/silver combo as a new years dress and I love it! I was worried it was going to be too large and too long based on the previous reviews but I ordered a size small and it fits perfectly. It looks just like the picture and the silver is even better in person! I am 5'5 115 pounds and 34B 12.11.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Carsey Beautiful and soft This is exactly what I was looking for to wear on New Year's Eve. Though I had to have it alter to fit the way I wanted. It is way longer than it looks on the model. I didn't want to lose any of the sparkle on the bottom so I had to have the dress almost redone. Removing the skirt from the bodice and then re-sewing it so that it would be short and still have it's sparkle on the bottom. Costly but now it fits perfect it was worth the extra $..! 12.8.2012

19 December 2012 08:00 [Source: ICIS news]
TOKYO (ICIS)--Japan's production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) fell by 13% to 93,501 tonnes in November from the same period a year earlier, official data from an industry association showed on Wednesday.
"[Production] has become stable at around 90,000 tonnes, and we expect it will gradually start to increase," Shunzo Mori, the chairman of the Vinyl Environmental Council (VEC) said in Japanese at a news conference.
The reason for such expectations was because the country's housing starts have been increasing by a small rate but steadily, Mori added.
"Since [demand for] PVC tends to be influenced by construction [sector], we are looking closely at [its] trends," he said.
Furthermore, the association expects demand for restoration works in Japan's northeast regions - devastated by the massive earthquake on 11 March 2011 - to emerge, Mori said.
He said Shinzo Abe, the leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, says the government will aggressively make public investments for the construction in the northeast. "...That's why we expect [demand for PVC] will be in an upward [trend] because PVC is heavily [affected by] construction of homes and public works," Mori added.
Japan's domestic shipments of PVC fell by 1.5% year on year to 92,868 tonnes in November, according to the VEC.
Among the total, domestic shipments for rigid PVC was down by 0.9% to 52,521 tonnes from the previous year, while shipments for flexible PVC declined by 7.5% year on year, the data showed.
Exports of PVC nearly halved to 13,697 tonnes in November from the year-ago period, based on the data.
The fall in exports was because production was lower in November than the year-before period, vice chairman Toshinori Yamamoto said.

Austin Hills: Golf Driving Range
I'm no Tiger Woods and I own no golf clubs and shoes, but what a kick I got at the driving range. No pun intended, but I'd be totally handicapped if I'd gone on the green. So the driving range at Austin Hills allowed me to imagine that within me is a professional golfer...NOT!
Fact: This is one golf course that is just 20 minutes drive from the Singapore-Johore causeway. Lovely lovely green, even for the driving range. Costing just RM8 for 100 balls, you can really shoot till your hearts content.

As you pass through the main gates, you cannot help but to notice this huge white imposing building sitting on top of a hill. This is the club house of Austin Hills Country Club. A 360 degrees panoramic view of most of the fairways of the golf course is visible from here.
There are two 18 holes courses, namely the Austin Course and the Hills Course.
All the tee boxes are elevated and there are quite a few holes which one has to drive across intimidating ravines to arrive on the fairways proper.
I must at least mention something about the changing rooms. Walking into the changing room here is like walking into a night club. You become awashed in darkened cool colors minus the music. It's an experience not to be forgotten.
The club have from time to time special promotion rates for walk in visitors. It is wise to check with the club on this, you many save a few ringgit.

Carmat self-regulating artificial heart implanted in first human subject
By Ben Coxworth
December 24, 2013
Last Wednesday in Paris, a 75 year-old man received an artificial heart. That in itself might not be newsworthy, as such devices have been in use since the early 80s. In this case, however, the gadget in question was the first Carmat bioprosthetic artificial heart to ever be implanted in a human. According to its inventor, cardiac surgeon Alain Carpentier, it's the world's first self-regulating artificial heart.
When Carpentier uses the term "self-regulating," he refers to the Carmat's ability to speed up or slow down its flow rate based on the patient's physiological needs – if they're performing a vigorous physical activity, for instance, the heart will respond by beating faster. This is made possible via "multiple miniature embedded sensors" and proprietary algorithms running on its integrated microprocessor.
Most other artificial hearts, by contrast, beat at a constant unchanging rate. This means that patients either have to avoid too much activity, or risk becoming breathless and exhausted quickly.
According to a Reuters report, although the Carmat is similar in size to a natural adult human heart, it's a little on the big side. It should therefore fit inside 86 percent of men, but only 20 percent of women – that said, the company has stated that a smaller model could be made. It's also almost three times heavier than a real heart, tipping the scales at approximately 900 grams (2 lb).
Power comes from an external lithium-ion battery pack worn by the patient, and a fuel cell is in the works. The heart itself is intended to operate continuously for at least five years (or 230 million beats) although in its first human trials, success will be gauged on whether or not it allows recipients to survive for at least another month. Needless to say, volunteers receiving the implant will already be in the final stages of heart failure.
The current lone recipient is reported to be recuperating in intensive care at Paris' Georges Pompidou European Hospital, where he is awake and carrying on conversations. "We are delighted with this first implant, although it is premature to draw conclusions given that a single implant has been performed and that we are in the early postoperative phase," says Carmat CEO Marcello Conviti.
Assuming the trials go well, the Carmat is expected to be available within the European Union by early 2015, priced between 140,000 and 180,000 euros (about US$190,000 to $250,000).
Prof. Carpentier developed the heart in collaboration with French aerospace firm EADS.
A wonderful device! I wonder how insurance companies and 'Obamacare' would cope with the price - versus human transplants - differential, allowing for availability and the human transplant on-going costs of anti-rejections drugs.The Skud
To any one with a heart condition, a great news!jgoulart5628
Great invention.
This is another example of the good that comes out of the free enterprise system.robo
It's interesting to note that this was created in a place offering universal healthcare. No insurance companies to veto the treatment for profit motives.dwreid
The proof of the pudding will be whether it can operate without forming and throwing off blood clots.michael_dowling
Growing complete hearts or repairing a person's own heart using cells from the patient will likely make artificial hearts obsolete withing the next decade.Gregg Eshelman
This medical device is way beyond the reach of the common man on the street. Its success will depend on how long it will work without problems like Emboli which may in turn cause strokes and other problems like DVTHaresh Metharam

The compiler needs to know what 'menu()' is. Basically you 'forward declare' it before your main() function. Something like "int menu();" before the "int main() { ... }" should do the trick. Same goes for the other functions that you call before they appear in the source code.
edit: this should probably be in the 'for beginners' forum.

Burning branches
Monday, 23 Apr 12 Sunny 10°C / 50°F
Spent most of the weekend burning a huge pile of elder (sureau) branches that had been drying for over a year so went up pretty quickly. We made lots of small fires over what were the old stumps in a bid to burn them out of the ground as we try and clear the small land next to the stream.
The ashes are still fuming so we dont know how successful that has been yet, still the area where the branches were looks a lot tidier now.

Thanks Anne. We did try to explain to our french neighbour about potentially letting a witch out of the burning wood but he thought it was ridiculous and then decided to pretend to ride around on a broomstick. :)
Thankfully we dont have any sheep in the area but the ducks looked nervous.

What is Europe and what defines a European? This unit looks at the development of identities within Europe and the European Union. You will assess the mechanisms through which a new identity commitment is being formed and the limitations of and oppositions to this process. Can a genuine European identity ever be created in an expanding multi-cultural European Union?
After studying this unit you will:
- recognise that 'European identity' is a socially constructed attribute;
- appreciate the basis for the unities as well as the divisions amongst Europeans;
- understand the ways European identities are assessed and measured;
- appreciate the key role of 'culture' in the organisation of a common European identity;
- see that European identity could be a bottom-up process as well as a top-down one.

Who are Europeans?
The problem of who, or what, are 'Europeans' is at the centre of many of the most acute political and social issues confronting contemporary Europe. Can a genuine European identity be constructed within Europe, and if so on what basis? This question is of even greater importance as the European Union expands and becomes ever more multicultural in character. This unit examines the ways in which European identities are – or are not – being forged across Europe. It assesses the various mechanisms through which a potentially new identity commitment is being formed, and the limitations of, and oppositions to, this process.
