ST. LOUIS -- Players for both Kentucky and Wichita State said all the right things in the lead-up to the most anticipated matchup of the NCAA Tournament so far.
The Wildcats praised the Shockers, saying their undefeated record was no mirage. The Shockers praised the Wildcats, saying their size, athleticism and talent were as advertised.
After the two teams went back and forth for 40 of the most intense minutes you're ever likely to see on a college basketball court, UK and Wichita State showed the pregame compliments weren't idle talk.
Once the Cats finished a brief celebration of their heart-stopping 78-76 win, the teams assembled for a handshake line that proved to be much more than just perfunctory.
"I told them I watched tape of you guys and it's amazing and I am happy for our guys," John Calipari said. "And I am just disappointed because they had a heck of a run going."
A matchup as hard-fought as Sunday's often leads to bad blood, but not this time.
"Coach Cal just told me we had a marvelous season," Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall said. "And I congratulated each and every one of them and told them, you know, 'Congratulations and great game.' "
The only thing between UK and Wichita State was mutual respect.
"They played a great game," Marshall said. "They put on a wonderful show. And I just thought it was a great basketball game. And they deserved it tonight. They played -- they were one play better."
Even Ron Baker and Andrew Harrison -- two players who often guarded one another and scored 20 points apiece -- only had good things to say.
"At the end I shook hands with Andrew Harrison and he said, 'You're a bad, bad, bad boy,' " Baker said. "And I told him the same. He's a great player and I wish him the best."
Aaron Harrison had his turn guarding Baker too and had a similar reaction.
"It is a great team and they had a lot of great players on that team. And I was matched up with him and it was a joy just playing, playing the game," Aaron Harrison said. "And we had to play hard and battling is really fun and just going to work, really fun. And going against a great player like that was a good matchup and a great challenge."
Both teams thrived on the challenge and the 19,676 fans in the Scottrade Center got to watch the result.
"They have a few great players on that team, so we knew we were going to have to play every possession," Andrew Harrison said. "And it was just a joy."
Coach Cal can't put classic into perspective
Hyperbole was flying around during and after Kentucky's win over Wichita State.
Twitter was abuzz with attempts to put the game into perspective, while television analyst and hall of famer Charles Barkley immediately ranked it among the best he's ever seen.
Asked whether it's the best game he's ever coached in, Calipari let a little air out of the big-game balloon.
"I have been doing this so long, I don't want to say that," Calipari said. "I've been in wars."
That's not to say, however, that UK-Wichita State wasn't special.
"I would say this was an Elite Eight game that the winner should have gone to the Final Four," Calipari said. "That's how good they are and how good we're playing right now."
In Calipari's eyes, the Shockers didn't deserve to lose in the third round. But even so, the defeat that came too soon doesn't erase what Wichita State accomplished in coping with all that comes with carrying an unbeaten record into late March.
"I feel for their team and I feel for their coach," Calipari said. "And Gregg, understand what he did to keep these guys on point was nothing short of miraculous. I have done it where I had to coach teams that were 26-0, 20-0. I'm telling you, each game there is more and more pressure to win."
That pressure was only intensified by playing in the Missouri Valley Conference.
"I was also in a league where we could not afford to lose any league games," Calipari said. "If we did we became a seven seed. We would go from a one seed to a seven seed. You couldn't lose any games. I have been where he is. I know how hard they worked."
The buildup for U of L has already begun
The dust had barely settled from what will likely be one of the greatest games Julius Randle will ever play in, but given the next opponent and what lies ahead this week, the question about Louisville was inevitable.
"Julius," the reporter started, "your reward for winning a game like this is you get to play Louisville. Do you have any idea what this week will be like building up to that?"
"I have no idea," Randle said.
He really has no clue.
When Kentucky-Louisville played in the Final Four in 2012 for the right to go to the national championship game, it was like nothing the state of Kentucky had ever seen in the storied rivalry.
Sure, there have been some classics over the years, and maybe nothing can quite ever compare to the original Dream Game in the 1983 NCAA Tournament, but the buildup? It was unprecedented in 2012.
This year's meeting in the NCAA Tournament might take a slight step back from that game two seasons ago, but only slightly - and only because this one's a few games removed from the title game.
But when you take into account UK and Louisville have won the last two national titles and could easily win a third one as well, the buildup for Friday's game at 9:45 p.m. in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is going be insane.
Alex Poythress had already turned his attention from the postgame celebration on Sunday to Louisville by the time reporters met with him in the locker room.
"We have to," Poythress said. "We got to take it one game at a time, focus on your opponent. We got to come out and play strong, try to take their strengths away."
UK won the regular-season meeting 73-66 at Rupp Arena on Dec. 28. The Cats won that game without the services of Julius Randle for most of the second half because of cramps in his legs.
It was Coach Cal's fifth victory in six games against Louisville since coming to Kentucky.
Since then though, Louisville has returned to its national-championship form of a year ago, winning 14 of its last 15 games behind Russ Smith, Montrezl Harrell and a stifling defense.
"They press a lot, they got great guards (and) good bigs," Poythress said. "We just got to come out and try to take those points away and try to break the press and everything like that."
Head down
If someone would have told Calipari before the game that Wichita State would shoot 55.1 percent from the floor and 10 for 21 from behind the arc, he wouldn't have given his team much of a chance.
"I would have said it was a heck of a year," Coach Cal said.
As it turns out, Kentucky matched Wichita State in the shooting column, staying within reaching distance with strong shooting performances from the Harrison twins, James Young and Alex Poythress.
But the Cats didn't rely solely on their jump shots to win. When the game was on the line late, UK took the ball to the hoop.
While Cleanthony Early and Baker seemed to make anything and everything from all spots on the floor, UK made a concerted effort in crunch time to drive to the basket, get a layup or get fouled.
"In the end they basically just lowered their head," Marshall said. "It seemed they were just driving it and we were having too much body contact. And for the first time this year, it seemed like the rules, the new rules, worked against us as opposed to in our favor. So credit them."
As a result, the Cats shot 14 free throws over the final 4:52 of game time, making 11 of them.
"That was a big key," Marshall said. "We couldn't defend the foul line at the end of the last eight or 10 minutes."
Play of the game
Aaron Harrison hit big shots. Andrew Harrison made clutch free throws. Julius Randle ignited the second-half rally. And James Young hit the biggest shot of the game.
The biggest play of the game in Calipari's eyes, however, was Dakari Johnson's unofficial offensive rebound after Aaron Harrison missed the second of two free throws with 4:11 to play.
Johnson didn't get credit for the rebound because he deflected it off a Wichita State player and out of bounds, but it gave UK the ball back. Andrew Harrison went to the line for two more free throws after the timeout, making both and getting UK within 69-67 with 3:54 left in the game.
"That was the play of the game," Coach Cal said. "If we don't get the ball and get it back to two, I don't think we win the game.

Newtown Connecticut Shooting Spawns Conspiracy TheoriesJanuary 19th, 2013
The shooting that occurred in Newtown, CT took the lives of 27, plus the shooter himself. Most of the victims were young children. For a small town in a small state, the loss and grief is enormous. In time, the event will fade from the headlines, but for the community, the tragedy will linger much longer. It will likely be more than a year before the town even begins to return to normal and the shooting stops dominating the lives of those who live in the area. Of course, for those who lost loved ones, things never really will return to normal. The grief will be life-long and time will only dull, but never remove the sense of loss.
Unfortunately, the process of recovering from the horrible tragic events of December 14 has only been made worse by the rise of conspiracy theories and the invasive and disrespectful actions of conspiracy theorists and self-pointed "investigators."
The conspiracy theories basically claim one of three things:
- Adam Lanza was somehow under the control of the government or that his actions were the result of government influences
- Adam Lanza was not the murderer. He was just a scapegoat and the deaths were actually purported by the government. Some claim Adam Lanza was not even a real person or that he had died some time ago and the identity was assumed into the fictional character created to be the perpetrator.
- The shooting never happened. It was all staged. The victims may not even be real people at all, but just characters made up for the false story.
The motives put forward for such a conspiracy are predictable: that the massacre would result in an outcry for more school security, more gun control and more law enforcement powers and that this would allow the government to take away rights from the people to a degree that would not otherwise be accepted. Some claim that other recent shootings, such as the one in Aurora Colorado are proof that the government has begun a program of planned or staged massacres with the intention of convincing the public to submit to greater government authority, ultimately leading to all out fascism.
The claims of "evidence" of a conspiracy vary considerably. One of the most common claims is that the reports are conflicting or that the information given does not fit the events. Indeed, early news reports did indicate everything from the possibility of a second shooter to the suspect apparently being apprehended. Recordings of two-way radio traffic demonstrate that police officers may have believed that the suspect had fled or that the circumstances were different. This is very typical for such a chaotic and sudden event. It did indeed take some time to ascertain the actual circumstances. Others are that apparent victims have been seen alive or that some of those killed or involved have some kind of connection to the government.
Latest American conspiracy theory claims Newtown mass shooting a hoax
WASHINGTON – The United States has long been a breeding ground for conspiracy theorists, spurred by an often violent history riddled, in particular, with shadowy political assassinations.
But the latest conspiracy movement seems custom-made to underscore the need for a national debate on mental illness. Some of the Sandy Hook Truthers, as they've been dubbed, believe last month's mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., was a hoax.
The Obama administration perpetrated the hoax, the conspiracy theorists claim, in order to ratchet up support for tougher gun control measures.
They call themselves Operation Terror, and many of the movement's adherents appear to have ties to the so-called 9-11 truthers who have long held that the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were an inside job by the George W. Bush administration.
Their theories on the Dec. 14 shooting in Sandy Hook appear to lack any basis in fact, reality or common sense. But Google Trends suggests the movement is gaining momentum with both a Florida college professor and a libertarian Fox News anchor in Cincinnati questioning the official narrative on the events.
On various websites and blogs, some Sandy Hook truthers crow about the "smoking gun" they say proves the shooting was a hoax — a photo of President Barack Obama, backstage at a Newtown vigil two days after the shooting, a young blonde girl sitting on his lap.
They insist the girl is six-year-old Emilie Parker, one of the 20 child victims of the shooting. The Sandy Hook truthers claim her parents slipped up in their participation in the hoax, and allowed their eldest daughter to cuddle up to Obama.
"The story that she was killed at Sandy Hook is not possible, because here she is sitting on the president's lap after the shooting," intones the narrator of a YouTube video, one of dozens of its kind, this one the recipient of more than 260,000 web hits.
In fact, it's the dead girl's little sister.
Although I doubt my word will count for much, I can assure readers that Emilie Parker was real and died that day. No, I did not know her or her family, but I know people who do, and unless I have several personal friends and acquaintances who are already deeply involved in the conspiracy, she did indeed loose her life.
Many of the conspiracy theorists are of the standard variety: the same group that claims 9/11 was an inside job and spends most of their time listening to Alex Jones and posting on various conspiracy-oriented boards and making poorly edited youtube videos. However, one of them has gained more attention because of his background as a professor. James Tracy, a professor at Florida Atlantic University, has become the most prominent mouthpiece for conspiracy theorists with his accusations that the entire event was staged and his pledge to personally investigate the circumstances. Later, he did concede that some people died, but maintains that the scale and circumstances are false and the shooting was caused by a massive conspiracy.
Conspiracy theory professor who said Sandy Hook tragedy never happened NOW concedes some 'people undoubtedly died
The so-called 'Nutty Professor' who said the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting never happened is now willing to concede some people, indeed, lost their lives in the tragedy.
But James Tracy, a Florida Atlantic University tenured communications professor, is only seemingly willing to meet his many detractors half-way in their demands for outright contrition.
'There are certainly people that lost their loved ones, there is no doubt of that,' Tracy tells WLRN in Miami.
'If a similar tragedy were visited upon me and my family, I would be beside myself,' he reportedly said.
'But I think one of my ways of healing would be attempting to find out what went wrong, where was the failure.'
The 47-year-old professor suggested on his blog – memoryholeblog.com – the massacre at the least did not unfold in the way authorities said it did, and may not have happened at all.
'While it sounds like an outrageous claim, one is left to inquire whether the Sandy Hook shooting ever took place—at least in the way law enforcement authorities and the nation's news media have described,' he wrote.
'As documents relating to the Sandy Hook shooting continue to be assessed and interpreted by independent researchers there is a growing awareness that the media coverage of the massacre of 26 children and adults was intended primarily for public consumption to further larger political ends,' he wrote on his blog.
Tracy has seemingly based his allegations largely on the flurry of conflicting media reports released during the hectic day.
Tracy is a professor of communications. He has academic tenure, and this puts Florida Atlantic University in a difficult position. Academic tenure prevents schools from terminating or taking action against professors except in specific circumstances, where they have directly violated contractual obligations – such as not showing up for classes or failing to do other basic duties of their job or engaging in directly inappropriate behavior. Tenure exists for a reason: its purpose is to foster a free and open academic environment, where professors do not need to worry about university politics interfering with their ability to freely teach, publish and conduct research.
Unfortunately, in circumstances like that of Tracy, tenure can result in a university being unable to dismiss a faculty member who is an embarrassment to the institution. FAU would just as soon wash its hands of the "nutty professor" and many are outraged by the fact that he is receiving money from a taxpayer-funded institution. An investigation has been opened by the university, but it's not entirely clear whether they will be able to make a case for his termination. Tracy has been asked to resign and has refused.
With or without Tracy at the head, there is clearly a growing group of "Newtown Shooting Truthers" who will not go away. A youtube search shows hundreds of videos on the subject have already been posted.
Here is one example, pretty typical of the kind of videos and claims being made:
So what we have here is a combination of errors made by the news media early on and a few made by officials (for example, the medical examiner who was under the impression that a different gun was used, although at the time the ballistic evidence had not been processed and the investigation was only begining.) We also see images of parents and others reacting to the shock of the events with confused emotions.
In fact, during times of extreme emotional stress, shock and grief, it is quite normal for individuals to show confused and rapidly changing emotions. In such high stress situations, it is quite normal to see people go from completely composed to crying hysterically and back again in a brief period of time. While it may seem highly inappropriate, laughter and apparently being happy is a well known phenomena seen in those who are first dealing with loss. Some of these initial responses are simply the brain trying to deal with a severe emotional overload.

Newtown locals and families of victims being harassed:
Being accused of being part of a conspiracy or having their recent losses and trauma questioned is difficult enough for those close to the shooting.
Many of the conspiracy theorists have targeted 69 year old Gene Rosen, a retired psychologist living in Newtown. Rosen lives a short distance from the Sandy Hook school. On the morning of the shooting, he was coming out of his garage, where he had been feeding his cats, when he saw a group of six young children sitting on his lawn and one adult standing over them, in an apparently frantic state. The six children were students at Sandy Hook Elementary School, who had fled the school when the shooting occurred and the adult was a school bus driver who had ushered the children away from the school to the relative safety of the nearby residential neighborhood. The six children were the only survivors from Victoria Soto's classroom, where their teacher and other classmates were all shot dead.
Rosen did what any reasonable human would do. He invited the children and the bus driver into his home and attempted to provide them with some comfort, offering them juice and his grandchildrens' stuffed animals while he called the authorities. The school bus driver contacted the busing company, which was able to provide the cell phone numbers of the student's parents. The children were sheltered at the home for about an hour and a half before their parents were located and came to pick them up. Shortly after the last child was picked up, the parents of one of the deceased children knocked at Rosen's door, having heard that some of the children had fled to his home and hoping that their son might be amongst those who had survived.
As one might expect, Rosen has been deeply impacted by the shock and trauma of that day and being thrust into the media spotlight by no choice of his own. He has generally been commended for his actions, although he has been dismissive of being called a hero, instead pointing to the bravery of the children who maintained their composure and stayed together after escaping the school. Unfortunately, Mr. Rosen has also become the target of numerous conspiracy theorists, who have gone so far as to harass him in person.
Gene Rosen sheltered six kids during the Sandy Hook massacre. Now he's become a target of conspiracy theorists
"I don't know what to do," sighed Gene Rosen. "I'm getting hang-up calls, I'm getting some calls, I'm getting emails with, not direct threats, but accusations that I'm lying, that I'm a crisis actor, 'how much am I being paid?'" Someone posted a photo of his house online. There have been phony Google+ and YouTube accounts created in his name, messages on white supremacist message boards ridiculing the "emotional Jewish guy," and dozens of blog posts and videos "exposing" him as a fraud. One email purporting to be a business inquiry taunted: "How are all those little students doing? You know, the ones that showed up at your house after the 'shooting'. What is the going rate for getting involved in a gov't sponsored hoax anyway?"
"The quantity of the material is overwhelming," he said. So much so that a friend shields him from most of it by doing daily sweeps of the Web so Rosen doesn't have to. His wife is worried for their safety. He's logged every email and every call, and consulted with a retired state police officer, who took the complaint seriously but said police probably can't do anything at the moment; he plans to do the same with the FBI.
The harassment has gotten far worse than just phone calls and e-mails, however. A number of conspiracy theorists have gone out of their way to post his personal information online, including his address, personal telephone number and information about his family. There are some Youtube videos that show his info and how to get to his home. I will not post them, but they are easy enough to find. Mr. Rosen has been harassed so badly he now worries about his own safety, given the fact that his address has been so widely published. After retirement, Rosen had earned extra income by running a pet-sitting business, but his website has been flooded by harassing e-mails disguised as requests for pet sitting services.
While Gene Rosen may be the most visible victim of harassment, he is not the only one. The families of the victims have kept quiet about the extent to which they have been harassed, and the Connecticut State police have worked to shield their privacy and assure their safety, but a few family members have also been targeted. The fact that most of the families were previously low profile, and thus did not make any effort to have unlisted phone numbers and hidden their addresses can make this difficult.
Robbie Parker, who lost his daughter Emilie has been singled out by a number of conspiracy theorists. A video called "Robbie Parker Exposed" has gone viral. (no I won't link to it) On some websites, extreme conspiracy theorists have called for an "open bounty" on Robbie Parker – an extremely disturbing and directly threatening action. Others who have been the subject of harassment and accusations include Jimmy Greene and Nelba Marquez-Greene, who lost their daughter Ana and Nicole Holkey, who lost her son Dylan. The family and friends of teacher Victoria Soto, who died in the attack have also been accused of being part of a conspiracy. Not surprisingly, Adam Lanza's father and extended family have kept a very low profile and received protection due to concern over threats.
The fact that so many are facing harassment is deeply disturbing and the possibility that they may be in danger of violence makes it even worse.
It is important to remember that everyone responds to this kind of shock and grief differently, and their reaction cannot be used as evidence of anything. For some, the experience is so shocking that they show little emotion at first or seem to respond with an unexpected lack of sorrow. Others become immediately emotional. For some, the tragic events may make them feel a drive to activism or to speak out for policy changes.
Of course, many will avoid the media spotlight and try to maintain their privacy, but it is also not unusual for those who have experienced loss to actively seek the opertunity to speak publicly about their loved one. This is especially true of parents. Having lost a child who they were so proud of, they may feel a deep desire to let the world know how great they believed their child was and to memorialize their loved ones publicly. Some wish to be completely alone and others want constant support and companionship.
None of these responses are wrong, inappropriate or evidence of deception. Regardless of how they have reacted to the death of loved ones, those involved in the Sandy Hook shooting should have their wishes respected and be left alone unless they indicate a desire to be contacted. These conspiracy theories are especially shameful. Hopefully those who crossed the line to direct harassment and threats will be dealt with severely by law enforcement.
NOTE: There are a few major sites now dedicated to this conspiracy theory. You can easily find them with Google if you wish.

Product description
In 2010 the UK government imposed huge cuts and market-driven reforms on higher education. Proposals to raise undergraduate tuition fees provoked the angriest protests for decades. This academic year has seen the first cohort of students begin study under the new arrangements. A proposed Higher Education Bill has been shelved, but changes are being cemented and extended through other means. Displaying a stunning grasp of the financial and policy details, Andrew McGettigan surveys the emerging brave new world of higher education. He looks at the big questions: What will be the role of universities within society? How will they be funded? What kind of experiences will they offer students? Where does the public interest lie? Written in a clear and accessible style, The Great University Gamble outlines the architecture of the new policy regime and tracks the developments on the ground. It is an urgent warning that our universities and colleges are now open to commercial pressures, which threaten to transform education from a public good into a private, individual financial investment.

Andrew McGettigan lives in London and writes on philosophy, the arts and education. He is the author of the Intergenerational Foundation report, False Accounting? Why the Government's Higher Education Reforms don't Add Up (2012).
Review quote
Andrew McGettigan is in my opinion by far the most knowledgeable person in the country on the government's obscure and yet revolutionary programme of change for universities. He provides us with a full and independent view of the short, medium and longer-term implications of the government's plans. This book is essential and deeply worrying reading. -- Simon Szreter, Professor of History and Public Policy, University of Cambridge Andrew McGettigan is one of the most respected and incisive commentators on higher education. There are no other texts at present that address the political economy of higher education and none that put all the pieces of the jigsaw together to reveal the picture with such clarity. -- John Holmwood, Professor of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Nottingham, co-founder of the Campaign for the Public University and editor of A Manifesto for the Public University (2011) Whether you agree or disagree with him, Andrew McGettigan's critique of the Government's higher education policies is essential reading. He brings a unique perspective to the debate, which is all the richer for it. -- Shabana Mahmood, Shadow Minister of State for Higher Education What a splendid book, bang up-to-date and comprehensive. Anybody wanting to understand the present UK policy framework and wanting to have a critical account of it could not do better than start with this book; and so engagingly presented and written too. It deserves to be a winner. -- Ron Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, Institute of Education, University of London. In the 1960s student activists argued that books are weapons. Today student activists and trade unionists require an arsenal of weapons to fight back against the Tories' assault on higher education. Andrew McGettigan offers just that. McGettigan like no other has been able to draw out the contradictions and the Tories' weaknesses. Clear in form and content this book should be a weapon in the second round of the battle over the future of higher education in Britain. -- Mark Bergfeld, NUS National Executive and spokesperson for the Education Activist Network

Sequence logos are a graphical technique for displaying a summary of a set of aligned sequences. They were invented by Tom Schneider and his first high school student Mike Stephens. The original paper is available.
Weblogo is a web-based server to create sequence logos, written and supported by Steven Brenner and Gavin Crooks's groups. Although weblogo is highly useful for biologists to generate logos, like any other tool it can be misused. Below are recommendations for proper use of the logos so that they provde useful data for further studies. Links to the Glossary are provided. Please follow the links provided for more detail on each point.
@article{Schneider.Stephens1990, author = "T. D. Schneider and R. M. Stephens", title = "{Sequence logos: a new way to display consensus sequences}", journal = "Nucleic Acids Res", volume = "18", pages = "6097--6100", pmid = "2172928", pmcid = "PMC332411", year = "1990"}so that your paper can be tracked in the literature.
Under most circumstances one should not use frequency logos because important biological information is lost. A 'frequency logo' or 'equallogo' is like a regular sequence logo but all stacks have the same height so that each letter height is proportional to the frequency of the corresponding nucleotide or amino acid. The height of the stack of the standard sequence logo represents the sequence conservation of the sequences measured in bits, a precise unique unit that is related (but not proportional) to the binding energy (edmm). This is a biologically important summary and if it is not given then a person cannot easily tell what parts are more important that other parts. Furthermore, the user will miss the beautiful sine wave on many conventional DNA sequence logos (gallery).
For example, the figure of a `flat' logo for the RepA DNA binding protein from bacteriophage P1 (helixrepa) does not give much indication of anything special. However, the corresponding sequence logo shows two major clusters of sequence conservation in positions -1 to +3 and +11 to +13 with an additional strong conservation at +7 and +8. By placing a sine wave over the logo that has a wave length 10.6 bases long, it becomes clear that the two big patches of sequence conservation are one turn of double stranded DNA apart. That RepA protein binds to the face of the DNA with the two strong conservation patches was subsequently confirmed experimentally (Papp et al 1993, Papp and Chattoraj 1994), as indicated by the solid (instead of dashed) sine wave. A protein binding to DNA through the major groove can distinguish up to 2 bits of information and this is consistent with the two large conservation patches. A protein binding to DNA through the minor groove DNA cannot specify more than 1 bit (baseflip) so the T at postion +7 violates B-form DNA. We proposed that RepA flips a base out of the DNA to initiate DNA replication and partially confirmed this experimentally (repan3). The discovery of base flipping to initiate DNA replication would not have occurred using frequency logos.
Indeed, using a frequency logo means that one will miss the original reason we invented sequence logos. We observed that human donor and acceptor splice sites have the same consensus sequence: CAG|GT. Yet the information conservation across the binding sites is not the same at each position. How could two RNA binding sites have the same consensus but be different? We invented sequence logos to visualize and resolve this paradox (Stephens.Schneider-splice1992).
The point of these examples is not to discourage people from using flat logos, but rather to show that there is a risk in missing important biological phenomena if the conservation of the binding site is not presented to the user.
Examples of "flat" logos:

For example, two papers on malarial proteins were published back-to-back in Science in which sequence logos were given for similar data. One paper (Hiller.Haldar2004) apparently used relative entropy and so showed an impossible amount of sequence conservation, near 5 bits for the 20 amino acids. To chose one object in 20 never takes more than log220 = 4.3 bits, see their Figure 2. The other paper (Marti.Cowman2004) did not cite the source of their method but it was presumably the original logo paper since the height of a fully conserved position is around 4.3 bits, see their Figure 1, and so the two logos show inconsistent heights. A reader could be left puzzled by the discrepancy. (Note also the lack of error bars on the figures.)

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Nuclear power plant regulators want more specific information from TVA on how the utility plans to protect reactors in case of severe flooding.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission heard TVA's flood plans on Monday and scheduled another meeting on Dec. 13, seeking more information.
An NRC project manager at the meeting in Atlanta asked why the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant at Spring City, Tenn., should be allowed to continue operating, saying a ring of temporary crushed stone baskets has gaps.
TVA Vice President Dan Jernigan said the utility has a plan to fill the gaps where roads run into the plant in case of severe flooding.
Using newer technology and information, TVA concluded a catastrophic flood could inundate critical reactor control equipment.

Jensen Ford finished runner-up to "Rambo" at the FasTrack Racing Series World Championship last Saturday in West Virginia.
Ford, a 2006 Science Hill graduate, ended about a car length behind race winner Dennis "Rambo" Franklin of Gaffney, S.C., after starting 18th in the 75-lap race for Crate Late Models.
By lap 25, Ford had worked his way into the top 10. The Piney Flats driver moved up to fourth place on lap 50, and after a caution period, wasted no time getting up to the runner-up spot.
His Chevrolet quickly closed on Franklin's Chevy before the 3?8-mile dirt track dried out and tightened up.
"The race track locked down to one groove," Ford said. "I could run with him, but it was too late. The whole race track got wore out and there wasn't any grip but down at the bottom.
"From about lap 58 on, you couldn't get up in the race track. I had made passes everywhere — in the middle, at the bottom, at the top. At the end of the race, you had to be running at the bottom."
Ford described the track surface as a powder, coal-mine dirt that got really slimy when wet. Once it dried, the dirt didn't stick together, which created extreme dust.
Overall, Ford adapted well to the track, fourth-fastest of 70 qualifiers. Still, his No. 83 Impala was lucky to be part of the 24-car feature. He was wrecked in a Friday heat race, but advanced to Saturday's main event due to being in the top 10 of national points.
His teammate, Tim Byrd of Jonesborough, made it through the first round of heat races, and advanced to Saturday's second round of eliminations.
Although Byrd didn't make the feature, the trip capped off a memorable season which he scored his first two career wins.
"Tim had a really good season, while I had a little bit of an off year," Ford said. "We both have been fast everywhere we've gone. We've gotten taken out a few times, and have had some flat tires and motor issues. I thought it was going to be another of those weekends after Friday night, but I finally got a little luck on my side for Saturday."
John Force has had plenty of luck on his side lately.
The 64-year-old drag racer extended his NHRA record to 137 national-event wins Sunday with his Funny Car victory at the Auto Plus Nationals at Maple Grove (Pa.) Raceway.
Following the previous week's win in St. Louis, it marked the 28th time in his career he has won back-to-back races.
The 15-time NHRA world champion came into the weekend trailing Matt Hagan by six points in the Funny Car standings, but left Maple Grove with his third win of the season and a 65-point lead. It's the 19th different season Force has led the points during his legendary career.
The key was a clean run by his Ford Mustang in the final round, going 4.106 seconds (313.37 mph) while opponent Chad Head lost traction.
Winning from the No. 1 qualifying position for the first time since 2004, Force defeated Ron Capps in the semifinals, Cruz Pedregon in the quarterfinals and Jeff Arend in the opening round.
Defending NHRA Pro Stock champion Allen Johnson lost a heartbreaker to teammate Jeg Coughlin Jr. in Sunday's final after winning a pair of close races in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds.
The Greeneville driver opened the day with a win over Greg Stanfield before a .019 reaction time led to a victory over Erica Enders-Stevens in the quarterfinals. Johnson won by inches over Greg Anderson in the semifinal before Coughlin's near-perfect reaction time (.004) was the difference in the final.
Johnson remains in the championship hunt, fourth in the standings and 73 points behind Coughlin with two races to go.
Volunteer Speedway will host the $6,000-to-win Steel Head Late Model "Fall Clash at The Gap"on Saturday night.
The top-nine cars will be locked into a 50-lap main event from qualifying. The rest of the 24-car field will be set by heat races. If more than 45 cars show up, there will be an additional starting spot available in a last chance qualifying race.
The Modified Hobby division will also be in action with a 30-lap feature and the night's activities will end with a Demolition Derby.
Grandstands open at 5 p.m. with on-track action to begin around 7 p.m.
Kingsport Speedway was well represented at Sunday's "Virginia is for Racing Lovers 300" Late Model Stock race at Martinsville Speedway.
Track champion Chad Finchum was the fastest qualifier out of 87 drivers. After winning his heat race, the 19-year-old Knoxville driver started on the pole and ran in the top five until getting wrecked on lap 37 which resulted in a 35th-place finish.
Fellow Kingsport Speedway regular Ryan Stiltner was fourth fastest in qualifying and finished fifth in the race.
Hayden Woods, an 18-year-old Providence Academy student, finished eighth after making it to the feature the hard way. He finished 11th in his heat race, but was fourth in a last-chance qualifier. He started 36th in the main event, but improved to 20th by the halfway point. He raced up to fifth before losing three spots on a final restart.
Jonesborough riders Jacob Austin, Alex Dorton and Chandler Carver won two races apiece this past Saturday in Round No. 14 of the Hot Summer Nights Motocross Series at the Appalachian Fairgrounds.
Austin won the 250C and 125cc 2-stroke divisions, while Dorton was victorious in the Unlimited B and College Boy Amateur classes. The young Carver won two divisions for 51cc bikes.
Other winners included Keith Hensley of Johnson City in the 40+ division, and Chance Markland of Elizabethton who won both motos in 65cc Unlimited.

The circus is coming to town. It's a phrase that we all remember from our childhood. And one that invariably stirred visions of crazy clowns, daredevil acrobats, ferocious animals, and never-ending surprises. Well, guess what? The circus is really coming to town. Actually, it's returning to town. To Jacksonville, Florida, to be precise. And to be even more precise it's coming to Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena from January 17 through January 21, 2013. And it's not just any circus. It's the one and only Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. This venerable entertainment behemoth will be presenting its inimitable "Greatest Show on Earth" for the 147th year in a row. Not a bad run, and one that doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. What will be beginning when they arrive in Jacksonville is their latest and greatest show on earth known as "Built To Amaze." It features a wide array of acts from around the world that are sure to amaze, daze, and elicit many hoorays! Be prepared to be impressed with the incredible aerialists whose hair-raising high-wire acts and fantastic feats of fearlessness will not disappoint. Of course, the astonishing acrobats will be performing gravity-defying routines that are anything but routine.
Naturally, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus wouldn't be the same if they didn't have their signature clowns. And these wacky entertainers will no doubt be in full force. Keep an eye out for them as they make their presence known without an ounce of warning, popping up all over the place wreaking havoc and providing non-stop comic relief. Audiences will also be treated to all types of trained animals, everything from majestic elephants to fierce tigers. Other performers that you will encounter and be enchanted by include Andre McClain, Clown Alley, Danguir Troupe, Duo Fusion, Elliana Grace, Franceleib Rodrigues, King Charles Troupe, Negrey Troupe, Tabayara Mauluenda, and Wheel of Steel. Designed for audiences of all ages, "Built To Amaze" offers a modern take on the circus. And while it's been updated for our contemporary times, you can still expect to be surprised, delighted, and even touched. In short, this circus one part tradition and one part spectacles that are brand-new. But when you add them both together, you get one terrific family-friendly entertainment package. There will be eight shows altogether in Jacksonville and you can read up on all the fun details athttp://www.visitjacksonville.com/events/ringling-bros-and-barnum-bailey-circus/

Filed under Growing Strawberry Plants
@youtubsuxfv From a website called Nourse Farms. I also bought asparagus roots from them and they were very nice too.
Great video , where did u buy em ebay?
looks good
Too cute!
So Cute! Your granddaughter is precious. Your garden looks fantastic. My Wal-mart strawberries never even came up. I bought some at another store in pots and they have done fairly well. I didn't know to take the blooms off. In years past when I have planted strawberries I have had to throw away plants I have had so many. It seems to me in the past when the plants are a couple of years old I have a hard time getting them to produce strawberries.
@mhpgardener The strawberries are taking the heat without a problem. I've never seen them wilted. Just about everything else I'm growing was wilted from the heat today but not the strawberries. I planted a small patch of wheat in the fall to see if I could grow it. It has done great. It looks totally dry after todays heat.
@imstillworkin How did the strawberries handle the heat. Its darn near 100 already. And you grow wheat? This I gotta see! I've been in wheat fields many days growing up. But I've never known anyone who planted it garden like. Thats just too cool.
@mhpgardener I'm giong to be up to my eyeballs in strawberries next year. In a video I made back on November 25th the everbearer strawberries were still producing. About a week later we got cold weather and they quit. I've found I can grow all the fixins for PBJs – peanuts, strawberries and wheat for the bread! I'm going to cut one of those cabbages tomorrow, its starting to crack. I'll be cutting the wheat soon too. Stay tuned, lol.
@imstillworkin that is wonderful news because after the first year I should be living at the retreat pernamently in the cabin I'm building. Blessings!
@BexarPrepper I thought I'd have to pick the blooms off individually then I realized that the plants sent out one stem with the blooms on it. I just broke off that stem. I only had to do it once. I've picked the ripe strawberries every day though.
WOW~ Your strawberry patch is beautiful! What a treasure you have now. Strawberries are my fav. I bought me 1 little plant at WM. It is doing good but it looks lonely. LOL I will start picking off the blooms. It has started to send off runners but I think I need to put it in a bed instead of a pot? Thanks 4 sharing. We love that freezer jam also.
lol that was funny.
definatly gonna get me some of those strawberry plants for the retreat. Just gotta figure out how to pick the blooms off every two week only LOL Blessings!
Thats a lot of strawberry plants. And they are huge.I bought 6 of the Everbearings from WMT a few weeks ago, in the big black pots, half price at 2.50 each. If they last till November like yours I'll be plenty happy. Real nice looking patch you've got. Strawberry jam is my fav for PB &J. And thats a monster cabbage, almost as big as your helper !
@docsimonson It's the best. Grandkids are all play and no work. You get to love em up, have fun then send them home where somebody else has to worry about getting the strawberry stains out of their clothes, lol.
I'm looking forward to that next stage of life. I get to apply all of the learning I did on my kids and be a good grand dad. Thanks for the video!
You have a great helper , she is so cute .
I'm growing strawberries for the first time this year. Thanks for this video. Great information. Very nice garden!!!
Nice lookin Berry patch you got there;) and thanx for the honorable mention.
thanks for the video…… oh my, what a sweet little one you got there
One thing I really enjoy about your videos is how you demonstrate/cook/grow things in different ways and make comparisons between each method.
That really allows your viewers to learn a lot more than just what your prefered way of doing things is. You are showing them what led you to think that was the best way, and examples of other possibilities.
@jwlrymkr I'm not sure but I don't think so. The directions are in the box of Sure Jell. For the water bath method they say to cook the strawberries. It might have to be cooked in order to stop the enzyme action. There is a vast difference between the taste of the freezer jam and the cooked jam. The freezer jam tastes just like freshly picked strawberries. I always worry about the freezer going out but this jam is so good this way I'm willing to take that risk.
Looks really great! Yum on the jam! Could this be hot bath canned so it wouldn't have to be frozen?

Two former members of Texas A&M's Corps of Cadets are some of the latest casualties in the Iraq conflict.
Army First Lieutenant Timothy Cunningham and a fellow soldier died Wednesday in the town of Golden Hills in the central portion of the country. A Department of Defense press release says their deaths were a result of a vehicle incident.
Two days earlier, Marine First Lieutenant Matthew Vandegrift was killed during combat operations in Basrah in the northern portion of Iraq.
Cunningham, 26, was listed by the military as being from College Station, though his parents are from Alvin, where Cunningham attended high school. He was stationed at Fort Campbell Kentucky along with Private First Class John Bishop of Michigan, who died as well.
Cunningham attended Texas A&M beginning in the fall of 2000, but left a year-and-a-half later when he earned a spot at West Point according to The Association of Former Students.
The soldier leaves behind a wife, Samantha, and a daughter, Abigail. Funeral services are pending.
Vandegrift's family lived in Littleton, Colorado, but Matthew graduated from Leander High School near Austin. He earned a management degree from Texas A&M as part of the Class of '03, and also served in the Corps in Company H-1.
The 28-year-old was unmarried and based at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He followed his father into the Marine Corps, and also leaves behind his mother and a brother who also serves in the military.
Vandegrift's funeral services will take place Sunday in Lakewood, Colorado. He will be buried Monday at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver.

A method and apparatus for storing and displaying radiographs, particularly intra-oral radiographs, is presented. Radiographs are captured, digitized, and displayed along with an icon of a portion of the anatomy from which the radiograph was taken. The anatomical sites represented by the icon are arranged according to their normal anatomical relationship. The icon is used by the system user to select a portion of the anatomy corresponding to the displayed radiograph, and the radiograph is stored along with indicia of the selected anatomical site. Then, when the stored radiograph is desired to be viewed, the icon is again displayed, and the appropriate anatomical site is selected, which causes the corresponding radiograph to be retrieved from storage and displayed. When processing intra-oral radiographs, the icon can take the form of a dental film holder, with the positions of the film holder corresponding to anatomical sites readily recognized by dentists, each position of the film holder being arranged in anatomical relation to other positions of the film holder icon. An image of dentition, for example, a dental arch, can also be used as an icon to facilitate the storage and display of intra-oral radiographs.

The invention relates to methods and apparatus for displaying stored radiographs, particularly intra-oral radiographs.
It is well known in the field of oral radiology to mount dental radiographs in a film holder. Use of such film holders minimizes the possibility of misinterpretation of radiographs which, when loose and unmounted, can appear to be quite similar to one another. Such film holders can hold as few as one dental radiograph, or as many as 20 or more radiographs. Interpretation of such mounted radiographs is facilitated by mounting each film in normal anatomic relation to each other. In other words, each mounting position in a dental film holder corresponds to a particular anatomical site or anatomical region. Such mounting of dental radiographs also facilitates repeated study and comparison of sets of radiographs taken at different times in order, for example, to assess the progress of a particular dental treatment.
In addition, the mounting of dental radiographs in film holders in normal anatomic relation allows a dentist, having knowledge of normal radiologic anatomy and knowledge of anatomical landmarks, to quickly and easily interpret any set of mounted dental radiographs. The anatomical landmarks used by dentists include: the maxillary molar area (including the posterior wall of the maxillary tuberosity, the hamular process, the coronoid process of the mandible, the maxillary sinus, and the zygomatic process); the maxillary premolar area (including the maxillary sinus); the maxillary incisor area (including the incisive foramen, the cartilage of the nose, the nasal septum, and the nasal fossae); the mandibular molar area (including the external oblique line, the mylohyoid ridge and the mandibular canal); the mandibular premolar area (including the mylohyoid ridge and the mental foramen); and the mandibular incisor area (including the mental ridges, lingual foramen and the genial tubercles). Film holders present films taken of these anatomical landmark sites in positions that are consistent from holder to holder.
Recent advances in dental radiology include the use of x-ray sensitive sensors in place of film to produce digitized x-ray images which are stored in a computer memory and viewed on a computer monitor. In one such computer system, intra-oral x-ray images are created and stored along with information regarding patient identification and the number of the tooth in the image. Sets of images (constituting, for example, a dental survey), can be stored and recalled for display. When sets of related images are displayed, miniature versions of the images are presented in one portion of the display monitor for selection by the user, and are displayed in another portion of the monitor.
However, these miniature representations of the images are in no particular order, requiring the user carefully to assess which image among the set of images is the image desired to be displayed and studied. This system becomes particularly awkward as the number of images in a set increases given the fact intra-oral radiographs of different anatomical sites can appear to be quite similar.
The present invention solves the above-noted drawbacks of the prior art by providing a method and apparatus for displaying stored radiographic images which takes advantage of dentists' knowledge of normal radiologic anatomy and knowledge of anatomical landmarks.
In particular, the present invention includes an x-ray sensor and x-ray source which are used together to produce images of target anatomical sites. The images are then stored, preferably after digitization, in a computer memory. Then, the display of the stored images is facilitated by use of a representation or icon of anatomical sites, or of the portion of the anatomy, from which the images were taken. The system user selects the image to be displayed by selecting the appropriate anatomical site from the representation of anatomical sites or portion of anatomy.
The preferred application for the present invention is in intra-oral radiology. In such an application, sets of stored radiographs are displayed by using a representation of a dental film holder, or of dentition such as a dental arch. The system user selects the portion of the representation corresponding to the desired image to be displayed, and the desired image is then retrieved and displayed. Use of a representation of a dental film holder permits a dentist to use his or her knowledge of the anatomical significance of the positions of the mounting positions in the film holder.
Thus, the present invention combines the organizational and interpretational advantages of film holders, with the advantages of digital x-ray imaging techniques.
A source code listing of a computer program that embodies the present invention is included in an Appendix to this patent document.
FIG. 1 is an apparatus embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a screen display, in accordance with the present invention, produced by the apparatus of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is another screen display, in accordance with the present invention, produced by the apparatus of FIG. 1.
FIGS. 4A and 4B are flow charts of the method of the present invention.
FIGS. 5A-S are examples of representations of film holders usable a icons in the present invention.
FIGS. 6 and 7 are examples of representations of dentition, usable a icons in the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a computer-based system is presented embodying the present invention.
The computer-based system includes central processing unit (CPU) 21, which, in operation, first loads software embodying the present invention into memory 22 from program storage medium 23. The software of the present invention is presented in flow chart form in FIGS. 4A and 4B, and is shown in detail in the program listing of the Appendix hereto. Program storage medium 23 can be any machine readable storage medium such as, for example, a floppy or hard magnetic or optical disk, or a programmable read-only memory. The computer system further includes display 24 which is connected in a known manner through display control bus 26, display interface 27, and internal data/address bus 28 to CPU 21. The computer-based system also includes an x-ray sensor 29 which is connected through sensor cable 31, digitizer 32, and internal data/address bus 28 to CPU 21. To acquire x-ray images, sensor 29 is used with x-ray source 33 to produce two-dimensional x-ray images of dentition 34.
The computer system can be any computer and hardware display. In the preferred embodiment, an IBM AT compatible PC computer, available from Jameco Electronics is used. This preferred computer system includes an Intel 33 MHz 80386 CPU with 8 megabytes of system RAM, 40 megabytes of hard disk drive, 5.25 and 3.5 inch floppy disk drives, a SuperVGA noninterlaced 1024�768 pixel display adapter, a noninterlaced SuperVGA monitor, and an AT 101 key style keyboard. However, other combinations of commercially available components can also be used without departing from the scope of the invention.
The preferred x-ray sensor is a Sens-A-Ray sensor, available from Regam Medical Systems AB. This preferred sensor produces a 576�386 pixel analog image which is digitized by digitizer 32 before application to data/address bus 28. Digitizer 32 is preferably a frame-grab board available from Regam Medical Systems AB, however, other commercially available image digitizers can also be used. Digitizer 32 is required in the preferred embodiment because the preferred sensor 29 produces a pixelized analog signal. However, if sensor 29 produced a digital signal, sensor 29 could be connected directly to data/address bus 28, and digitizer 32 could be eliminated.
X-ray source 33 can be any commercially available x-ray source appropriate for the particular application. For example, for intra-oral radiography, x-ray source 33 can be, for example, a type Gendex 1000 x-ray source available from Gendex Corp. Of course, other types of commercially available x-ray sources are also acceptable.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, shown are images displayed on display 24 (FIG. 1) which are illustrative of the present invention. Referring first to FIG. 2, shown is a patient query dialog field 36 and exam/study selection dialog field 37. Patient query dialog field 36 includes several subfields in which are entered patient specific data. For example, subfields 38, 39 and 41 include, respectively, the patient's name, the patient's chart number, and the patient's date of birth. Subfields 42 and 43 respectively display the date and time of examination. Subfields 44 and 46 relate to the referring physician.
Subfield 47 displays the modality of the particular examination (for example panoramic, intra-oral, extraoral), and subfield 48 displays the type of examination (for example full mouth, bitewing, complete panorama, cephalometric). Subfield 49 reveals the interpretation status, and subfields 51 and 52 indicate whether the user wishes to interactively choose the images to be displayed (manual), or whether display in a predetermined sequence is desired (CINE).
Exam/study selection dialog field 37 lists the various exams which are stored relating to the patient identified in patient query dialog field 36. For example, in FIG. 2, exam/study selection dialog field 37 indicates that five examinations have been completed including a complete panorama, three intra-oral examinations including a full mouth 20-film examination (FMX-20), a 4-film bitewing (BW-4), and a 2-film bitewing (BW-2). The fifth examination is a cephalometric extraoral examination. The entry for each examination in exam/study selection dialog field 37 includes three items: examination modality, examination type, and date of examination. When different examinations are to be selected for review, fields 42, 43, 47 and 48 of patient query dialog fields 37 are updated, as appropriate, by a system user.
After a particular examination has been selected for review, the screen shown in FIG. 3 is displayed to the system user. Referring to FIG. 3, depicted are patient query dialog field 36 (displaying the same information as in field 36 of FIG. 2), icon or representation field 53, and image display fields 54. Although FIG. 3 depicts three image display fields 54, it will be understood that one or more image fields can be used. In FIG. 3, icon field 53 comprises an image of a full mouth examination 20-film holder. Within the icon in icon field 53 of FIG. 3 are film positions 56-74, each of which relate to a specific anatomical site. Specifically, position 56 is a periapical view of the right maxillary molars, position 57 is a periapical view of the right maxillary premolars, position 58 is a bitewing view of the right maxillary and mandibular molars, position 59 is a bitewing view of the right maxillary and mandibular premolars, position 60 is a periapical view of the right mandibular molars, position 61 is a periapical view of the right mandibular premolars, position 62 is a periapical view of the right maxillary canine area, position 63 is a periapical view of the right maxillary lateral incisor area, position 64 is a periapical view of the maxillary central incisor area, position 65 is a periapical view of the left maxillary lateral incisor area, position 66 is a periapical view of the left maxillary canine area, position 67 is a periapical view of the right mandibular canine area, position 68 is a periapical view of the mandibular central incisor area, position 69 is a periapical view of the left mandibular canine area, position 70 is a periapical view of the left maxillary premolars, position 71 is a periapical view of the left maxillary molars, position 72 is a bitewing view of the left maxillary and mandibular premolars, position 73 is a bitewing view of the left maxillary and mandibular molars, position 74 is a periapical view of the left mandibular premolars, and position 75 is a periapical view of the left mandibular molars.
It should be emphasized that other anatomical connotations can be applied to the various portions of the icon appearing in icon field 53, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, as long as the anatomical sites represented by the icon in icon field 53 appear in normal anatomical relation to one another.
In addition, although the icon illustrated in FIG. 3 comprises an image of a full mouth examination 20-film holder, different examinations may require different icons. For example, the icon appearing in icon field 53 for a 2-film bitewing examination would be that of a 2-film holder, for example as shown in FIGS. 5A, 5B or 5C, described in more detail below.
The flow charts of FIGS. 4A and 4B reveal the operation of the apparatus of FIG. 1 in combination with the display screens of FIGS. 2 and 3 to practice the method of the present invention. FIG. 4A relates to capturing and storing radiographs according to the present invention, whereas FIG. 4B relates to retrieving and displaying stored radiographs in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 4A, after the process has begun, in block 76 a user enters patient specific data using patient query dialog field 36 shown in FIG. 2. Then, in block 76, the user enters exam/study selection data using exam/study selection dialog field 37, also shown in FIG. 2. Then, control passes to block 78 where the display of FIG. 3 is presented along with an appropriate icon in icon field 53, in accordance with the examination data entered in blocks 76 and 77. Control then passes to block 79 where, using x-ray source 33, sensor 29 and digitizer 32 (FIG. 1), an x-ray image is captured and displayed in field 54 of FIG. 3. Then, in block 86, the system user uses the icon in field 53 to select the anatomical site within icon 53 that is to be associated with the x-ray image captured in block 79. Such selection can be accomplished by use of a keyboard, mouse, touch-sensitive screen, or other functionally equivalent user input device. After the selection has occurred, control passes to block 82 where the captured image is stored along with indicia of the associated location in the icon. The steps presented in block 79, 81 and 82 are repeated until images have been captured and associated with each of the anatomical sites represented by the icon in field 53. The image capture and store process is then ended.
Referring now to FIG. 4B, the image retrieval and display process is presented. After the process is begun, a user enters patient specific data in block 83. Then, in block 84, the set of examinations associated with that patient retrieved. Control then passes to block 86 wherein the display of FIG. 2 is presented including patient specific data in field 36 and study/examination data in field 37. After a particular exam/study is selected for review by the user, control passes to block 87 where the image of FIG. 3 is presented including the appropriate icon in icon field 53. Then, in block 88, the system user selects an image to be displayed by selecting the appropriate anatomical site of the icon in icon field 53. This user selection can be by use of a keyboard, mouse, touch screen, or any other functionally similar user input device. After the particular anatomical site has been selected, control passes to block 89 where the image is displayed. The steps of blocks 88 and 89 can be repeated to display additional images from the examination selected in block 86. The image retrieval and display process is then ended.
Referring now to FIGS. 5A-S, presented are various icons of film holders that can be used in the present invention for displaying in icon field 53 (FIG. 3) to facilitate user selection of images to be displayed based on desired anatomical site.
FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C are known as 2-film bitewings, FIGS. 5D and 5F are examples of 3-film bitewings, FIG. 5E is a 4-film bitewing, and FIGS. 5G-S are examples of full mouth surveys having various numbers of films. For each of the film holders depicted in FIGS. 5A-S, each of the film positions corresponds to a particular anatomical site within the dental arch.
FIGS. 6 and 7 are examples of different types of graphical representations of dentition that can also be used as the icon displayed in icon field 53 (FIG. 3), in accordance with the present invention. The graphical representation of FIG. 6 includes maxillary dental arch 91 and mandibular dental arch 92. The graphical representation of FIG. 7 includes a panorama of maxillary dental arch 93 and a panorama of mandibular dental arch 94. Also depicted in the graphical representation of FIG. 7 are panoramas of immature (baby teeth) maxillary and mandibular dental arches 96 and 97. Tooth numbers are also shown in the graphical representation of FIG. 7, but can be eliminated if desired.
When using the graphical representations of FIGS. 6 and 7 as icons in icon field 53 (FIG. 3), user positionable frame 98 can be displayed along with the icon and can be moved (once again by use of a keyboard, mouse, touch-sensitive screen, or functionally equivalent user input device) to select the anatomical site corresponding to the desired image to be stored or displayed.
It should be emphasized that although the present invention has been described in relation to intra-oral radiography, application to other fields of radiology is also contemplated. In addition, those of ordinary skill in this technology will appreciate that additions, deletions and changes can be made to the disclosed preferred embodiment, without departing from the scope of the invention. ##SPC1##

Pretty sure it was based on the idea of there being one person that was just perfect for you and that you'd 'complete' each other.
I can't answer any of the other questions, except for the fact that I don't believe there is such a thing as a soulmate. Even if I did now believe that, I haven't found it. Ha!
I don't think there is such a thing as a soulmate. It seems completely ridiculous in my opinion. Out of the 7 billion people in the earth there is 1 soul mate for you? That person would most likely be hidden in some tiny village in Korea that you will never meet. People always seem to find their "soulmates" in the vicinity of their living area which is amusing.
I think it's more of a compatibility issue and a "growing together" issue than anything else.
What is a soulmate? Is it another elusive term for the wishful thinking? Or do we all have a soulmate? What defines a soulmate?
After a bit of checking, it seems there are myriad definitions and understandings of 'soulmate'. The word originated in the concept of supernatural or divinely predestined love: men and women each have half of the same soul (like a unique matched pair of shoes) and you must find your other half.
Today the meaning is a lot less definite, but it still carries some of the same connotations: the idea of a person feeling "complete" once they have found their soul mate and the perception that the two people (souls) are meant (by God, fate, the cosmic lottery, etc.) to unite.
How would you describe your soulmate? Is the idea of a soulmate purely based on emotion? Common interests? Or a strong compatibility? What makes 2 people compatible? Do you believe we all have a soulmate?
I accept the idea that two people can be almost perfect for each other, but not that it's a kind of supernatural destiny or that it's an extremely rare or exclusive circumstance. There may be thousands or even millions of people on the planet right now with whom one could have an 'almost perfect' compatibility. Beyond this I think the psychological world agrees that any relationship takes a certain amount of emotional bookkeeping.
Soul Mates Do Exist—Just Not In the Way We Usually Think
Why you shouldn't believe in soul mates
Do soul mates exist?
Do Soulmates exist?: Replacing the notion of soulmates with lifemat...
Have you found your soulmate?
I'm married to my best friend: a truly exceptional woman in every way (except for cutting hair, singing, and inventing funny voices, but otherwise: wow). I dislike the word soulmate and neither of us is perfect, but I do think we're just about perfect for each other over the long haul.
I have found mine. Actually it was 45 years ago, it just took her a little longer to figure things out. Last year she finally fell in love with me and we no longer have a Platonic relationship. She is a lifelong atheist and it wasn't until I became Born Again (as an atheist that is) that she was ready to accept that idea that we are each others ..... drum roll please.... sans-soul mates. I can't remember which of us thought that one up, but she laughs every time I say it. Yes, I believe in sans-soul mates. I don't believe that we each have only one or that we ever find one of ours.
It's wishful thinking.
I use to embrace this fallacy of a soulmate, but I did away with it even before I became free from all fallacies and myths. When I became free thinking I could not accept the existance a soul, that some one out of all the humans were just my match, as a result I work hard everyday to sustain the relationship that I have with my wife of 9years, somedays I even doubt I made a right decision, ( she has those guts to say that in my face that she thinks she made a mistake about me). Maybe some people do find such a combination, some of us have not ..... even after 9years of trying.
I find the notion that for every person there is exactly ONE perfect match out there--as many maintain--to be ridiculous. There may be several or there might be none. Exactly one for every single person would take planning by a higher power, and must of us here on T|A don't take that hypothesis seriously.
I remember the idealism of earier days, high school, where young girls were optimistic about the 'soul mate'.
I thought I was being kind to them in my attempt to squash such idealism as a young nerd, but they gave every indication of being 'sealed' against any divergence.
In hindsight, I expect that this is in parallel with religious belief, with the same degree of 'sealing'. Such idealism, I expect, could explain the divorce rate, since very few 'mates' will ever be 'ideal, and will by definition have socialization or emotional disabilities that make them 'real persons', and not princes, kings, queens, nuns or saints..;p).
I expect a 'soul mate' is really one who does not amplify, but dampen our disfunctionality, allowing us each to be real, and compassinate.
You know those things about you that no-one else shares and make you different from everyone else? Your soulmate shares them.
