SIU School of Medicine, Institute for Plastic Surgery supports Kidzeum of Health and Science with a $75,000 gift
(Springfield, IL) –Thanks to a $75,000 donation from the doctors of SIU School of Medicine Institute of Plastic Surgery, an interactive hand exhibit will be one of the 100 engagements that exist within the Healthy Body Gallery.
"SIU Plastic's Quote"
The Interactive Hand Exhibit will be located within the 40-foot tall, 3-story child that makes up the Healthy Body Gallery. The main message of the Interactive Hand Exhibit is to demonstrate how strong muscles and tendons work together with your bones to help your hand move. Kidzeum visitors will use a series of levers and controls to move an oversized had and grasp a ball. Click on image for larger view
"Kidzeum is extremely grateful to SIU School of Medicine and the doctors of its Institute for Plastic Surgery for supporting the Interactive Hand. Our hands do so much for us. They are capable of a wide variety of functions: touching, grasping, feeling, holding, manipulating, caressing, and more. They are a vitally important part of who we are and how we see ourselves," said Kidzeum Board President, Rachael Thomson.
Created in 1973, The Institute for Plastic Surgery is an academic surgical practice offering specialized medical and surgical care to adults and children in central and southern Illinois. It is committed to achieving the highest standard of excellence in all areas of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. The Institute is known nationally and internationally for its work in many areas including microsurgery, hand surgery and therapy, reconstructive surgery, aesthetic surgery, and specialized care in the treatment of burns and problem wounds.
The Kidzeum of Health & Science will be located in the nationally registered, historic buildings at 412, 414 and 416 East Adams Street. The Kidzeum of Health and Science will be designed with a focus on fun and learning and upon completion of its Vital for Our Youth Campaign; Kidzeum will be a three story, 25,000 square foot children's museum dedicated to teaching children of all abilities about health and science through discovery and play. The Kidzeum has raised $5.4 million of its $6.8 million dollar goal. Slated to open in late fall 2015.

Deep Brain Stimulation brings new life to patients with movement disorders
Diagnosed with essential tremor at age 10, Don Klinker of Decatur has always had a hard time with daily tasks that most people do without thinking. "I love to play golf," says the 73-year-old father of four and grandfather of five. "But by the time I could take my hand off the ball, I'd knock it off the tee." So his friends would tee up for him. And drinking coffee or signing checks? Forget it. He gave up coffee and had a name stamp made. Sometimes his wife or friends would do the writing for him. more...

Just the facts
I have never understood why an endorsement of a newspaper is that significant. It is only one persons opinion, the same as anyone else writing an editorial. Newspapers would serve the public better if they published the candidates voting records, interviewed them and published their answers. Just the facts, nothing but the facts. Newspapers are reporters of the news and not supposed to be or make the news.
Print agreement
It would serve all citizens of Aiken County to see in print the legal agreement allowing the late salvage yard owner to store vehicles on state highway right of way in perpetuity. Other salvage businesses do not do it. Stop hiding behind an agreement that may or may not exist. Perhaps the county attorney will file a lawsuit to have this mess pushed back behind the fence. This entry into Aiken can be made into a showplace that welcomes all, instead of an eyesore with the potential to cause injury or death to motorists or pedestrians.
I have watched Aiken Country go down over the last 70 years of my life. The last three presidents that worked for the people were: Truman; Eisenhower, who warned us of a greedy and dangerous military industrial complex; and Kennedy, who was killed because he didnt want to go into Vietnam. Ross Perot was our last chance at having a leader who clearly knew how to run a business and told it as it really was. We have had presidents and congresses from both sides with various mixes over the years. No matter the mix, we always spend more than we have. Clintons surplus was a bogus batch of smoke and mirrors, and he blew our moral compass. Reagan blew out our budgets. Then came George Bush and Obama, and the lunacy really began. These two will go down as the worst two presidents in our history.
Generous folks
There is so much bad news today that Id like to contribute some good news. My husband and I were out to dinner at a local chain restaurant on Sunday, and the waitress told us that someone had paid for our dinner. We were very pleased that someone had paid it forward and we were included. Wed like to thank them for their generosity. We are Northern transplants and always impressed with the kind and generous folks in Aiken.
Great employee
Kudos to the technician who performed a service far beyond his normal job description for an elderly couple. This action reflects very highly on the outstanding character of this young man and on his employer for its ability to attract this kind of employee.

Installed Size column checked by default, but not visible
|Assigned to
|synaptic (Ubuntu)
|Robert Roth
Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
On a fresh install of Ubuntu (or a LiveCD), synaptic does not display the Installed Size column. However, looking in Settings -> Preferences -> Columns & Fonts shows that this column is already selected. Adding or removing other columns and then applying the changes causes the Installed Size column to correctly become visible.
Reproduced with synaptic 0.62.5ubuntu1 on Jaunty, but this has been present in previous Ubuntu releases for as long as I can remember.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Use a LiveCD or fresh install of Ubuntu. Column settings must not have been previously modified.
2) Open Synaptic, and notice that the Installed Size ("Size") column is not visible.
3) Settings -> Preferences -> Columns & Fonts.
4) Modify the visible columns (eg. add Download Size) and select OK.
What should happen:
Installed Size column should be visible to start with.
What actually happens:
Installed Size column is not visible until above steps are followed.

text: The Psi-Fire wiki last edited by FrogNWN on 01/22/15 03:26AM View full history HistoryPsi-Fire in actionDavid Waller is a high level psionic and was recruited into the Youngblood program and was assigned to their International Strike Force to keep him out of the US Mainstrem Media's ever watchful eye. On one mission he is dispatched to take down a foreign leader and after dispatching the mans guards, he admitted to being able to kill him from the United States, he just preferred to do it in person. Psi-Fire then used his telekinesis to crush the man's head just as his teammates arrived.As punishment for disobeying orders, Psi-Fire was forced to wear an inhibitor when the group was sent to recover John Prophet, a recently discovered super-soldier. Prophet was accidentally awakened and a fight between the group and Prophet ensued. Prophet was out performing the entire team single handed until the arrival of Darkthorn and his Disciples in which another fight erupted. Youngblood, the Berzerkers, and Prophet all fought this common foe with only Prophet managing to hold his own until the Youngblood Home Team arrived to assist. Darkthorn was finally driven off by Psi-Fire, his inhibitor having been removed.Unfortunately for David the fight drained him and he became comatose. It wasn't until some time later that his mind was transferred into the body of a female medical staff member. Psi-Fire attacked his teammates and was only subdued when he tried to turn of Masada's powers only to be overwhelmed by the source. David, still trapped in the female med-tech's body has not recovered from his injuries but was used to cause a large scale hate incident.PowersTelepathyTelekinesisPyrokinesis


text: The Volume 10 wiki last edited by pikahyper on 07/09/13 03:38AM View full history The thrilling new series that lets fans relive classic Sonic stories continues! Volume 10 presents issues #37 through #40 of Sonic's ongoing comic book series in a special 5 x 7 & ½ inch edition. These stories continue the artistic change to a more "dramatic" tone, better aligning the series to the hit Saturday morning animated series then on the air. The emphasis is on the chaos that ensues in the wake of a cataclysmic earthquake, with Robotnik trying to cope with the compromised security of Robotropolis and continue his reign of terror. An even greater threat looms with the rise of Mecha Sonic during the epic "Mecha Madness" story arc, which leads to court martial proceedings for wrongfully accused Sonic! Each story is meticulously restored and printed on high-grade paper, so you can feel like you're zipping right alongside the cobalt champion as he saves Knothole Village! Stories include:"The Day Robotropolis Fell" and "Bunnie's Worst Nightmare" (issue #37), "The Rise of Robotropolis...The Fall of Sonic" and "Bedtime Tails" (issue #38), "Rage Against the Machine" (issue #39), and "Court Martial" (issue #40).Reprints isssues 37-40

With a history of encouraging workers to emigrate to relieve unemployment at home, Tunisia now has 11 percent of its population living abroad. The factors underlying the 2011 revolution that sparked the Arab Spring have also fueled emigration desires for many Tunisians. This country profile explores historical and current trends in Tunisia from colonial settlement to the aftermath of the Arab Spring, and the new focus on migrant rights at home and abroad.

Mexico has lost its long-held status as the top source country of new immigrants to the United States, dropping to third place behind China and India. This historic shift is remarkable for the rapid decline in Mexican inflows combined with a steady rise in Asian immigration, largely through high-skilled visa programs. This Policy Beat explores the reasons behind these trends and their potential impact on U.S. demographics.
Though relatively unexplored, there are myriad links between migration and corruption. This article offers ten connections between migration and corruption, from the facilitation of illegal migration and humanitarian protection to impediments to development benefits. The migration-corruption nexus is examined in three case studies: human trafficking in Nigeria, police extortion in Latin America, and a Norwegian return scheme for Iraqi asylum seekers.
Indian immigrants represent the second-largest origin group in the United States, accounting for 4.7 percent of the total foreign-born population. Generally high-skilled and highly educated, more than half of Indian immigrants have arrived since 2000 and largely attain green cards through employment-based pathways. Indians account for 70 percent of H-1B petitions and are the second-largest group of international students in the United States.
The end of the Vietnam war, marked by the fall of Saigon in 1975, precipitated the mass Indochinese refugee crisis, which saw more than 2 million people flee the region, often on unseaworthy boats. Following the war, Vietnamese migration was divided between humanitarian flows to the West, and labor migrants to allied communist countries. More recently, Vietnam's rapid economic growth has prompted increased labor migration to Asia and a rise in migrant brides.
The H-2B visa allows U.S. employers to bring in foreign workers to temporarily fill low-skill nonagricultural jobs across a wide range of states and industries. A series of recent legal challenges has exposed the presence of fraud and abuse, while stripping the program of its regulations and raising uncertainty about its future. This Policy Beat examines the implications in the debate surrounding temporary worker programs.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Immigration has been a significant factor in New Zealand's history since the mid-19th century, and recently net migration gains have reached the highest levels ever recorded. Richard Bedford of the University of Waikato looks at the challenges ahead.
This article maps out the key features of three of the primary U.S. Census Bureau data resources used to research immigration: the census itself, the American Community Survey, and the Current Population Survey.
Using Census 2000 data, MPI Data Manager Elizabeth Grieco examines the ability to speak English among the foreign born at the national, regional, and state levels.
Census figures show that Australia began the new millennium with a larger and more diverse population.
This Spotlight by Elizabeth Grieco, MPI Data Manager, examines some of the demographic, social, and economic characteristics of the foreign-born population in the United States.

On May 9, 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS or Agency) published a notice in the Federal Register requesting comments on the Agency's revised draft guidance on the requirements for validation of an establishment's Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system (Compliance Guideline). This is the second draft of the Compliance Guideline; the first draft was released in March 2010.
FSIS will require HACCP validation to consist of two parts: First, an establishment must gather scientific or technical support for the judgments it makes in designing its HACCP system. Second, the establishment must gather evidence from its HACCP system while it is operating to demonstrate that the establishment is able to implement the "critical operational parameters necessary to achieve the results documented in the scientific or technical support" that form the basis of its HACCP system.
The Compliance Guideline recommends that scientific or technical support used in designing a HACCP system be from one of the following sources: Published processing guidelines; a scientific article from a peer-reviewed journal; a challenge or inoculated pack study that is designed to determine the lethality or stabilization of a process; data gathered in-house; or regulatory performance standards.[3] In order for the scientific or technical support to be considered effective, it must identify: (1) The hazard that the measures are intended to address; (2) the expected level of hazard reduction or prevention that the measures will achieve; (3) the critical operational parameters, such as time, temperature, humidity, and pH, that must be met for the measures to be effective; (4) the processing steps necessary to achieve the specified level of hazard reduction or prevention; and (5) how the processing steps can be monitored.[4]

Moira - you bring up some very good point and I love the banners you've done. I think #1 and #3 are at the top of my faves list. And I'll get a couple pics sent to you soon.
Lisa - ah!! scan it... well that just makes sense!! (no wonder I didnt think of it :P)
Jennifer - love your bio! I also like the idea of getting friends to help sell. I've given away several pieces to family/friends, and asked them to refer anyone that shows interest. But making them 'earn' some of it might inspire them to use their inner salesman! :)

Lisa - sshhh ... don't tell anyone... but I understood your geek speak (Advance Oracle PL/SQL certification ). I've been in the IT industry (mainframe ops, server management, client support) - just no actual programming!) from 1980 until last April when I was laid off. Now I'm just unemployed and get more time to play with my beads!
Hey ladies, I've been swamped the last few days and haven't been able to check my email well, sorry!!!
You guys have some really great ideas for the advertising and such, I think it would be really neat to have a diffrent banner for the holidays/seasons or even Cancer Awareness for October along with Halloween.... I know that when I hit up Etsy I'm normally looking for a gift or piece of jewelry that's beyond my level to make lol.
Showcaseing a diffrent shop once a week/month is a good idea as well, I love how much we all try to support each other! Lisa has been the greatest with helping me out!
I've got to run, but I'm going to make time tonight or tomorrow to sift through my email, promise!
Hi Ladies,
I've been thinking about starting a shop since shophandmade was first mentioned. I'm still on the fence about it.
But I have a question about your market. Would you except a shop that had more than just beaded items? My mom and I do this together and she doesn't bead. She hand quilts and there are a few other of my family members that occassionally add things to our inventory also non-beaded. So, I was just wondering if you would except a shop that had items that weren't "Bead" related as long as the shop did have beaded items in it? Would there need to be a ratio of some kind of beaded items to non-beaded items?
You may have already stated this somewhere and I just missed it. Sorry?

kareng915:I've been in the IT industry (mainframe ops, server management, client support) - just no actual programming!) from 1980 until last April when I was laid off.
Karen, if you worked ops and server management, I'm sure you did your fair share of scripting. So yes, you DID do actual programming! I hate to hear that you were laid off. Sounds like you have a positive attitude about the situation. Are you job-hunting, or just enjoying some time off? I hope it's the latter, the job market stinks right now.

SEllen, I don't think we've actually talked about it yet. Moira, Karen, Kristie, and Jenn, what do you think?
My personal opinion is this... We started the BD Friends market to support each other in every way we can think of. On the BD forums, one of the many ways we support each other is by sharing our non-beading lives with each other. For that reason, I feel that as long as the primary owner/operator of the shop is a BD member, then they'd be welcome in the BD Friends market. I'm not all that concerned about limiting our market to beaded items only.
Now what's everyone else think?
SEllen, I've got a question for you... How come you're on the fence about Shop Handmade? Whatchya thinkin?
I'm an "inclusive" kind of a girl myself :) so I have absolutely no problem with a shop that features quilting items, as long as there's a balance with the jewelry items.
I don't want to say "it has to be at least half jewelry" because items in your store rotate, expire, get sold, etc. The only thing I would say is that some sort of jewelry must have a continuous "presence" in your store ... does that make sense? I simply don't want to confuse customers!

I don't have any issues with it either, might even draw in some of those awesome spontaneous sales from others that didn't have jewelry in mind lol
And I just took some time to look at everyones shop for the first time in a few days and I have to say that we've got some gorgeous jewelry! The shops are looking great and I'm blown away by what you guys have listed, I've been telling people to get on and look since Christmas is just around the corner!
SEllen, I've got a question for you... How come you're on the fence about Shop Handmade? Whatchya thinkin?
It's nothing to do with the site itself but with me.
I'm home bound, have been for...geez....13 years. I live way out in the boonies and would have to depend on others to do the mailing for me. And due to health issues there maybe times that I'm unable to actually be active for a week or two depending on my recovery rate. I'm on a fixed income and need to check to see how having a shop would effect that.
Then...I've said this before I'm a bit of a computer dunce and I'm not sure I could set up the shop and keep it well maintained. There are a few other issues but I think maybe you can get my drift.
I don't have any issues with 'other' items being sold in one of our market stores. There should be some bead work/jewelry that woud tie your store to the group, but I agree with Kristie, someone looking for something else may find a beaded piece the just have to have!
SEllen - I think you could explain in your policy section that items purchased would be mailed out on Tues/Fri, or something like that. As for when you can't maintain your store, I was looking to see if they have a 'vacation' mode (like esty does), then you would just have it open when you were available. Has anyone found something like this for ShopHandmade?
I have added some Halloween earrings to my store today. Check them out if you have a chance.
kareng915:As for when you can't maintain your store, I was looking to see if they have a 'vacation' mode (like esty does), then you would just have it open when you were available. Has anyone found something like this for ShopHandmade?
Karen, I stumbled across a Vacation mode today on my inventory page. Just click the Inventory link, then the Vacation mode link is at the bottom. Haven't actually tried it yet, but at least it's there.
Your Halloween earrings are so cute! Your shop is really lookin' gooooooooood, girlfriend!
Karen, did I ask you if you'd like me to try adding the text to your banner image with the glow effect? I'd be happy to, just e-mail the photo to me. And let me know (1) if you want to keep the Curlz font or change it to something else, (2) what color you'd like the font, and (3) if there's any other text you'd like added. I ain't no expert, but I'm learning and happy to help!
Moira, your new Romanov Bracelet in your Shop Handmade store is absolutely STUNNING!
thanks, Lisa!!!!
Thanks for the info Lisa. And I agree with you on Moira's bracelet!
Ladies, I think we have a nice group of talented artists in the BD Friends market! Between the different stores, we have a good variety of items. There is something for everyone.

Real cruelty is the charge against this animal lover
Busting Bob Farner for alleged animal cruelty strikes me as itself an act of cruelty. Maybe I'll be convinced otherwise in court, but I sort of doubt it.
I mean, c'mon. This is like prosecuting Albert Schweitzer for medical malpractice in Africa, Mother Teresa for abusing lepers, Gandhi for assaulting a frail grandmother, Oprah for committing hate crimes.
Of all the bleeding hearts in North County, Farner's beats the bloodiest. His organization, Bob Farner's Wildlife Rescue, has evolved into an orphanage for disabled wild animals, an educational zoo with the style of Andy Griffith and the soul of St. Francis.
Is this someone who'd be criminally callous toward the suffering of a dying deer? Does this sound like a defendant who should have to declare he's "not guilty" at a misdemeanor arraignment today?
I'll grant San Diego's city attorney this much: Farner is the patriarch of one peculiar ark, a half-acre Vista homestead teeming with seven dogs (six have the run of his house), geese, sea gulls, turkeys, chickens, raccoons, ducks, owls, a hibernating alligator named Al, and Sheba, a passive mountain lion on her last legs.
Out in Valley Center, Farner runs another haven for the lame and the tame, including a bobcat and a diverse aviary of birds, most with bum wings.
If you swing by Farner's place, he'll hunker in his kitchen, stroke Bozo (one of his foundling dogs) and talk about growing up in Colorado.
"My mother says that when I started crawling I was raised on goat milk, and she always knew where I was at: I'd be out in the goats' pen sleeping with the goats."
As an almost feral boy of 10 or so, he'd run away for a week at a time, drawn by the call of the wild. "I gave my parents gray hair," he says.
Not long after, white hair. Farner ran away to join the Marines at 16. Captured in the Philippines. In his wallet, he carries two photos of himself: one as a fit 160-pound Marine before the war, the other as a somber POW in Japan, 40 pounds lighter, unbowed.
In the mid-'70s, long after retirement from the Corps, Farner found his spiritual vocation by serendipity. A tame hawk flew into his back yard. As a result, he started volunteering at North County Wildlife Rehabilitation in Poway. When that organization folded, he started his own outfit. In the past couple of decades, he says, he has rescued 20,000 animals, give or take thousands of birds, possums, snakes, you name it.
Here's a classic Farner tale with a little (death) rattle.
"I got bit by a rattlesnake a couple of years ago. I picked him up in an apartment and he was a little one and I had him by his neck and I was carrying him and I said, 'Gee, he's choking' -- you see, he had his mouth wide open. So I pulled up a little bit and my finger flew up and hit the fang."

2 May 2014 / Taking a look at a career in motor sport
The girls listened with rapt attention as they heard Emma describe her involvement with top motorsport racing teams and share her passion for the intense, innovative, high octane career she loves.
Emma left Truro High School in 2004 and has since taken a National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at Cornwall College - achieving a double distinction - completed a degree in Motorsport at Oxford Brookes University and is currently at Bath University after winning a scholarship to study for a Masters Degree in Innovation and Technology.
During the last 10 years she has also worked for a number of different race teams, mostly focusing on project co-ordination/planning and data analysis/strategy at endurance races including the Nurburgring 24hr working for Aston Martin Lagonda with the V12 Zagato. Alongside her Masters' degree studies, Emma is working for EcoRacing, the 2012 Fun Cup Championship winners.
She told the girls: "I thrive in the fast paced, high pressured environment Motorsport induces and the close network of dedicated people it seems to entice. UK motorsport is a world leader and with a UK engineering degree you can go all over the world to work - I have."
Her advice for all the girls regardless of where there career path takes them is "never admit defeat!" Her own goal is to work for big race teams and win world championships.
"What an excellent role model," said Truro High School Psychology teacher, Kathy Webster, who took over responsibility for careers advice earlier this year.
"It's important talking to the girls about jobs they're familiar with but it's essential we open their eyes to all opportunities available to them so they can raise and broaden their own aspirations. That's the way to make an informed decision about the future."
Emma is the first in a number of people Miss Webster will be inviting to visit the school and share their work experiences with all age groups.
"Emma ticked so many boxes - she works in a high profile, male-dominated industry which is perceived to be difficult to join," said Miss Webster. "She's a shining example of what Truro High girls can achieve."
As an extra contribution, Emma stayed after the career talk to offer her professional advice to the school's Greenpower racing team, which is currently designing and building this year's eco-car for the fiercely fought national Greenpower Racing competition.

Designation highlights centers offering highest level of evidence-based quality care, services.
By Phyllis Brown, UC Davis
The UC Davis Multidisciplinary ALS Clinic has been named an ALS Association Certified Treatment Center of Excellence, in acknowledgement of its meeting the highest levels of established national standards of care for the management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease.
"We feel very fortunate and thankful to have received this designation from the ALSA," said Nanette Joyce, assistant professor of clinical physical medicine and rehabilitation and co-director of the Multidisciplinary ALS Clinic. "We have always believed that the ALSA and particularly the Sacramento Chapter are important members of our multidisciplinary ALS team. Their efforts, both in and out of clinic, help our patients in so many meaningful ways. To have received this recognition, that binds our efforts, is breathtaking."
Clinic leadership and representatives of the ALS Association Greater Sacramento Chapter will gather to celebrate the accomplishment during an event at the Ellison Ambulatory Care Center at UC Davis on Tuesday, Dec. 16, at 2 p.m. The event will feature the presentation of a donation of $11,500 from the chapter.
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis. There currently is no cure for ALS. The disorder has become more familiar to many in recent months, because of the highly successful "ice bucket challenge" campaign.
Certified Treatment Centers of Excellence must meet rigorous eligibility criteria, including diversity of professional expertise in ALS; access to coordinated, multidisciplinary care; a strong, ongoing relationship with the local ALS Association chapter; and evidence of active participation in ALS research.
The designation highlights the expertise of centers offering the highest level of evidence-based, quality care and services. The UC Davis ALS Clinic is built on four interrelated tenets:
- Correct diagnosis: ALS can appear differently in people, and there are other diseases that may initially appear similar to ALS.
- Multidisciplinary team care: Bringing together a range of specialists to create comprehensive care plans designed to help the whole person.
- Education: Educating patients, who in turn help educate physicians and therapists in training to recognize and understand the challenges of ALS.
- Research: Through research we can learn better ways of living with and treating the disease while working to develop a cure.
"We are proud to be a partner with UC Davis on this important project," said Shawn Joost, executive director of the ALS Association Greater Sacramento Chapter. "When patients are attending the clinic, we know they are receiving the highest level of evidence-based, multidisciplinary care in a kind and supportive environment, designed to promote their independence."
"We look forward to our continuing relationship with the clinic in service to patients and in support of the important ALS research being conducted there," she said.
Research has shown that multidisciplinary care, or the practice of having physicians and other health care professionals collaborate to provide the most comprehensive treatment plan for patients, helps people with ALS have better quality of life and actually prolongs life in most cases. UC Davis has a long history of providing such care.
"Through research, we strive to understand ALS so that we can learn better ways of treating the disease," said Björn Oskarsson, professor in the Department of Neurology and co-director of the clinic. "We engage ALS in many ways. In the short term, we conduct studies to figure out why ALS occurs and what makes ALS progress the way it does, to find ways of helping people live better with ALS, and to treat the disease with promising experimental therapies. In the long term, we are working to develop stem cell treatments for ALS through the UC Davis Institute for Regenerative Cures."

John asked the following questions at our TechNet event in Saint Louis a few weeks ago:
"Can you show us a demo of how to integrate SCVMM with Citrix and/or VMware?""
The answer to that is no. At least not me. I can't personally afford, nor does my team have the budget for a VMware purchase. Same with Citrix. Yes, I could download the evaluations and try those out. Someday…
For right now, however, I suggest that you watch this excellent recording from TechEd North America 2011 last May: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2011/SIM361. In it, Carmen Summers goes into great detail about how we support VMware in SCVMM 2012.
"What is the Hyper-V rule of thumb for: VCPUs to PCPUs?"
I'm assuming that you are asking for general guidance on how many virtual processors you should define based on the number of actual physical cores available on your Hyper-V host. The current recommendations for using Hyper-V virtualization on Windows Server 2008 R2 w/SP1 are:
(Note: These numbers will change significantly for Windows Server "8" later this year. Watch this blog.)
Also, here's an excellent discussion that MVP BrianEh turned into a Wiki entry that explains the concepts and a deeper understanding of the mechanics of it all: Hyper-V Concepts: vCPU
"Can you dedicate a physical NIC down to a virtual machine?"
Absolutely. The way you do it is to define a virtual network switch for the physical NIC. You also make sure that the "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter" is unchecked.
Then in the settings of the VM you associate the VM's NIC with that switch. You can now consider it dedicated if you resist the urge to associate other VMs with that switch.
John Howard wrote an excellent blog post on how networking works in Hyper-V.
Can you provision a VHD from a Hyper-V Server down to a virtual PC Client?"
Yes.. as long as your OS installed in that virtual machine is 32-bit, and can handle the sudden "whoa, this is different hardware!" shock (Windows Vista and Server 2008 or newer should be fine. XP, not so much), you should be able to do this. It's a definite benefit to maintaining a standard virtual hard disk file format in .VHD files.
To follow-up on the question about the ratio of vCPUs to LPs, Microsoft does offer in various documents recommended best practices for planning for different products. The SharePoint 2010 documents recommend a 1:1 ratio whereas Exchange 2010 recommends no more than a 2:1 ratio. It would be useful to have these product-specific recommendations summarized somewhere along with some background behind the recommendation.
Very good points, Scott. Yes, a lot depends upon the workload, and the product groups have their own support statements and recommendations for virtualization.
Another question: Why is dynamic/power optimization in SCVMM only supported for clusters? After all Live Migration works now perfectly fine outside of clusters.
Live Migration is CURRENTLY only supported within and among clustered Hyper-V hosts. In Windows Server 8 this will change - though there have been no announcements yet on how soon System Center 2012: VMM will support all features of Windows Server "8" hyper-V.

protect every species. On the contrary, Kant was clear in distinguishing the obligatory from the supererogatory, that is, actions that are morally praiseworthy but go beyond the call of duty. Kantians would be comfortable using economic analysis to structure incentives so that we can get the most species protection at the lowest cost.
Randall and Farmer (1995) have argued that utilitarianism, contractarianism, and Kantian ethics could accept, for different reasons, a safe minimum of conservation for species, habitats, and ecosystems. However, the different philosophical frameworks are likely to disagree about the subset of biodiversity that deserves such protection and about the conditions under which human society would be justified in abandoning the safe minimum because it demanded "too much" sacrifice.
Egalitarianism would insist on special concern for the welfare of the worst-off human beings; this has unclear and not necessarily favorable implications for concern for biodiversity. The environmental-justice approach might well demand protection of biodiversity in impoverished places and for impoverished people but is likely to encounter opposition from those who believe that the impoverished have more pressing concerns.
Deep ecology could take any of the basic utilitarian, contractarian, or Kantian ethical approaches and extend the category of things that matter (whose welfare is a concern, that have rights, or that have "a good of their own") to all or some of the elements of biodiversity. A major thrust would be to ground the claims of natural heritage independently of human value and belief so that humans would be obliged categorically (not just as it suited them individually) to honor these claims.
Discursive ethics is really a process—and a relatively loosely defined process at that. Its promise lies in determining and expressing genuinely social values inherent in biodiversity as opposed to the aggregation of individual values that utilitarism would promote.
This chapter reviewed the main Western philosophies of value. This provides a context for the description in the next chapter of how the tools of economics contribute to understanding biodiversity values in relation to resource-management decisions. Understanding the implications of these various philosophies for valuing biodiversity is important for public-resources managers, who must deal with different value philosophies in their decisions.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

The first event of the Concerts in the Park series, a yearly summer long tradition that features free concerts for local residents to enjoy, returned on July 6 at Central Park. It featured Queen Nation who played uncanny, spot-on renditions of hit singles from iconic British rock band Queen.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The summer air was filled with wonderful sounds and Central Park was packed with local residents picnicking on blankets and sipping on summer refreshments and eating a variety of foods. It attracted crowds from all over the Santa Clarita Valley.
KHTS held a facepainting booth completely free of charge and a variety of food vendors sold food to accompany the performance.
"The Concerts in the Park features great music and food and an opportunity for local residents to be with their families and friends and experience a great time," said Mike Fleming, Arts and Events Supervisor.
Queen Nation were all clad in quintessential Queen attire reminiscent of the British rock band. Lead singer Greg Finsley was the recreation of Freddie Mercury. Finsley sported the signature aviator sunglasses, pencil moustache, and leather police hat and apparel.

First I placed a 2x4 under the frig door to keep it in place while I removed the hinge on the bottom of the door. I removed two screws holding the hinge and one screw holding the washer in place. I also loosened a screw adjacent to the washer so that I could more easily remove and replace the washer. The parts went in easily. The repair took much less time than I anticipated.

A simple but attractive lodge in a nice area, though the big cats may be illusive during some seasons
Nxabega (meaning "Place of the Giraffe") is a simple though elegant camp on the southern edge of the Delta.
Enjoying permanent water all year round, activities here include both daytime and early evening drives, motor boating and trips out in dug-out mokoros. Wildlife can be a little unpredictable in this area; you'll always see a good number of herbivores and plenty of birds, though the big cats may be a little more evasive.
The staff are friendly and hospitable and food, cooked by the local Setswana chef is tasty and fresh. The camp is not as luxurious as some of the other Delta camps and the tents are smaller but comfortable and well decorated in muted hues. The views from the lodge are lovely and the efforts to accommodate personal preferences are a nice touch.

A simple but attractive lodge in a nice area, though the big cats may be illusive during some seasons
The Okavango Delta is the largest inland Delta in the world and is incomparable to any other game destination in Africa. A vast spread of channels, lagoons, forests and reed islands spreads across northern Botswana and disappears into the sands of the Kalahari. As you can imagine, birdlife is amazing here and game viewing too is very special; not only because of the variety and number of animals but also because you can do a great deal by boat, giving a totally different perspective to the traditional bumpy, dusty game drives. Read more?
Botswana safaris offer dramatic extremes. On the one hand, the lush landscapes of the Okavango Delta and the Linyanti and Chobe River systems, on the other, the beautiful other-worldly expanse of the Makgadikgadi Pans and the Kalahari Desert. The variety of habitats makes for varied animal and birdlife as well as beautiful scenery. Read more?

End the Elephant Rides at the Renaissance Festival
Thanks to everyone who joined us in standing up for elephants at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival on Saturday, August 24. We passed out tons of fliers, educated attendees about why elephant rides are no fun for the elephants, and got lots of supportive honks from passing motorists who saw our signs.
ARC has learned from Animal Defenders International that the supplier for the elephant rides is Trunks & Humps. During one of the most disturbing video clips in "No Fun for Elephants," handler Mike Swain beats an elephant named Krissy, viciously drags her to the ground with a hook, and then kicks her in the face. Krissy is "owned" by Trunks & Humps, run by Bill Swain, Mike Swain's father.
The Bristol Renaissance Fair in Wisconsin chose not to have elephant rides this year. Let's get Minnesota to follow suit. Please send a polite message to the Ren Fest asking them to make it their policy not to have performing elephants.
Jim Peterson, Owner
Minnesota Renaissance Festival

the odd family
9 years ago
I had a rooster who lost his feet one extra cold winter and after that he spent his winters in my greenhouse. Then I had an Indian Runner duck that got injured and I put her in there too. It wasent long before they had bonded as a couple, and the duck layed a clutch of eggs among my empty flower pots. I knew her eggs would not hatch so I got a few malard eggs from a friend. Only one hatched. They were a very loving family, the rooster did seem to think there was something wrong with the baby, but he was very good to them and they were always together even after they went back outside.

All sugar 'n' nice but no spice
Carly Rae Jepsen—whose international smash hit "Call Me Maybe" inspired countless covers, parodies and spinoffs online—is all sugar and everything nice, but sadly lacking in spice. For an hour or so, the sprightly Canadian singer filled the Smart Araneta Coliseum with danceable cookie-cutter pop tunes performed with unbridled enthusiasm and playfulness.
In a blue animal-print blazer, a black top and a pair of shorts that sparkled as she pranced onstage, Jepsen opened her one-night show with the synth-laden "This Kiss," which she followed up with "I Know You Have a Girlfriend," then her second most popular song, "Good Time"—recorded with American electronica band Owl City for her second studio album, "Kiss."
Between songs, Jepsen, in a bubbly speaking voice, engaged the crowd in light banter. Her fans are mostly giddy "tweens" and teenage girls. They wore glowing bunny ears. From time to time, Jepsen had them scrambling for their phones and tablets, having promised that she would retweet their concert photos.
At one point, her mic malfunctioned. There was awkward silence, prompting the singer "to fake tap dance." The audience lapped it up.
Most of the songs in her repertoire were culled from "Kiss," and the concert was fairly straightforward—no surprises, no costume changes, no encore.
The singer churned out catchy ditties like "Turn it Up," "Tug of War" and "Tonight I'm Getting Over You." The rest sounded repetitive, lost in a sea of generic bubblegum pop that quickly lost its flavor. Thus, Jepsen's acoustic rendition of "Almost Said It," in which she traded her sweet vocals for a warmer tone—was a breath of fresh air.
With her child-like stage antics, it was hard to believe that Jepsen is just three years shy of turning 30. More than the songs, it's Jepsen's cutesy, girl-next-door charisma that endears her to the young crowd. This couldn't be more obvious when Jepsen ended her show by plucking four giddy audience members to join her onstage to perform the song everyone was waiting for. "Call Me Maybe" elicited the night's loudest sing-along.

Let the world end
from Kendrick Lamar (Ft. Ab-Soul) – Ab-Soul's Outro Lyrics on Genius
Alluding to the Mayan 2012 prophecy, which he mentions in the next line.
Also saying that this shit needs to stop. All of the preluding issues to this line (Keisha's problems, Tammy's bad luck, male infidelity, etc…) culminate to express grief and a perception that things have gone too far.

SAN FRANCISCO When Satya Nadella was named Microsoft CEO in February, analysts who follow the company said one of his top priorities must be to mold the software behemoth into a more nimble company able to take on a competitive world dominated by mobile devices.
Consider Thursday's news of massive layoffs a bold move in that direction.
Nadella is a Microsoft veteran. He's been with the software giant for more than two decades and had been running its enterprise and cloud businesses. His vision for how technology will be used and experienced around the world is exactly what Microsoft needs, company founder Bill Gates said in a statement at the time.
Just who is Nadella?
He is a native of Hyderabad, India's tech center dubbed Cyberabad. He is bookish and soft-spoken, with hobbies of cricket and reading poetry. He has been married for 22 years and has three children.
Most recently, Nadella, 46, was executive vice president of Microsoft's Cloud and Enterprise group. Before that he led R&D for the Online Services Division and was vice president of the Microsoft Business Division. Before joining Microsoft, Nadella worked at at Sun Microsystems.
Analysts have said his engineering strength bodes well inside Microsoft. He gained a lot of clout inside the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant for his part in Microsoft's move to the cloud an agenda he has pushed since stepping into the CEO role.
In March, Nadella announced Office for iPad, a highly anticipated and long overdue version of its bread-and-butter productivity software for Apple's popular tablet.
In April at the company's Build developer conference, he stepped further into the spotlight to lay the foundation for the company's vision for one Windows across phones, tablets, PCs and even its Xbox video game console.
