Protecting Citizens and Territories
Designing Sustainable Security
Centre of excellence for security solutions
Throughout the whole system engineering lifecycle, the System Design Centre works with customers and other EADS units on defence and security solutions like
- urban and peace-keeping operations
- protection of borders, critical, infrastructure, large events
- net-centric operations in the battlefield
- intelligence
- maritime and airspace surveillance
- air traffic management
Partner of the customer
Risk mitigation, technology capitalisation and a system-of-systems "integrated project team" working approach are key success factors offered by the System Design Centre. This integrated team of specialists from customer and industry side can rely on the System Design Centre's skills, methodologies, tools, processes and standards needed for system design, modelling, test and evaluation of system architecture, as well as of operational concepts. Furthermore, the portfolio includes operational and tactical training including hardware and man-in-the-loop. An integrated team of technical and operational experts along with systems architects and modelling specialists, the System Design Centre can rely on a competent operative consulting team. These so-called "Operational Advisers" come from the military and security world and link the system engineering skills with operational experience and reality. They work shoulder-to-shoulder with the customers and the system engineers on operational aspects.
Virtual Manoeuvres Improving Efficiency and Reducing Risk. Thanks to the System Design Centre's operational experts, system engineering skills, methods and tools, it is possible to set up, test and evaluate security systems in various scenarios before they are actually used. Thus, security concepts can be designed, tested and optimised in advance, and all those involved can be trained for their specific tasks.
The Integrated Project Support Environment (IPSE) is an advanced method for the engineering of large systems. Combined with the powerful net-centric operations simulation environment, it facilitates planning and design, mitigates risks and saves time. A virtual reality is created. Responses to emergencies can be rehearsed before they happen – invaluable when it comes to devising peacekeeping and defence concepts.
The System Design Centre also supports the development and implementation of large complex systems such as border protection or air traffic management systems. It brings together professionals in various fields who can provide clients with expert advice, combining their technological and operative know- how with innovative methods and tools.
The scenario shows the setup for a successful peacekeeping mission – all the most important areas have been secured: the airport, the port, strategic parts of the city, a refugee camp, an oil rig and also the global airspace. The commander of the command post has access to all the important information and has everything under control. This complex scenario is the result of many hours of collaborative work in integrated teams regarding operational concept, command and control, technical solutions, and decision-making process, including various stakeholders from multi-national bodies.
Designing Sustainable Security Close partnership with customers and end users
The first step in the design phase is a dialogue with customers and end users about the objectives, technical and operational requirements as well as about the available components and subsystems. During the planning phase, the system engineers, operational advisers and the client meet regularly to define the specifications.
Virtual manoeuvres in the simulated environment allow experts to evaluate design options and to detect strengths and weaknesses. These cyber scenarios provide insights into the future system, the interoperability of subsystems and components as well as the efficiency of the concepts of operation (CONOPS). Thus, adaptations and alignments of the system or the CONOPS can be performed in early stages. The System Design Centre's expertise in engineering of large systems is available to the client throughout the entire life cycle of the complex security projects. The system architects, the operational advisers as well as tools and methods like the Integrated Support Environment (IPSE) are not only available for development and use, but also system extensions.
The power of networked simulation and integration centres
The simulation environment of the System Design Centre for Net-Centric Operations Simulation encompasses various fixed and a mobile platform. It federates and simulates the most advanced as well as legacy systems, the digital models of major platform and system manufacturers. Interactive scenarios are thus generated in order to evaluate the performance and interoperability of existing and future capabilities (UAVs, combat aircraft, ships, missiles, etc.) in a network-centric architecture. Its open architecture gives the ability to interconnect the existing simulation capabilities of customers, industrial partners and in-house entities. In addition, a Net-Centric Operations Simulation mobile platform is available for on-the-field experiments, computer-aided exercises, or use at joint-venture or customer facilities.
Understand and prepare the future
In collaboration with the customer, the System Design Centre works today on the customers' needs of tomorrow. Experienced operational advisers and highly qualified system engineers investigate and evaluate how the customer can benefit from the improvement in technology and science. Through concept studies and technological demonstrators, the System Design Centre is exploring new security domains. New urban operations, joint interoperability or demonstrators for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) are just a few examples.

Update: The USGS originally reported the earthquake as a 4.5, then a 4.6.
WATERBORO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A 4.0 magnitude earthquake shook Southern Maine Tuesday evening.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the earthquake was centered south-southwest of Lake Arrowhead - that's in the Waterboro area.
The quake hit around 7:12 PM.
People called reporting the earthquake from Portland, Skowhegan, Windham, Boothbay, Bowdoinham and even some reports from the New York City area.
The Seabrook Station nuclear plant, about 60 miles away in New Hampshire, declared an unusual event, but said it wasn't affected. The plant has been offline for refueling.
People at the Milk Room convenience store in Waterboro say they certainly felt the quake hit.
Toilet paper and soap fell off of shelves in the front, some paper plates fell out back, but there was no major damage.
One employee was checking lightbulbs to see if any broke.
Overall, while some people on our Facebook pages reported some cracks in their walls or ceilings, no major damage has been reported from the earthquake.

Undefeated weekend
The South Dakota State women's tennis team capped its undefeated weekend with a shutout win versus Green Bay, its second shutout in three meets.
In its third meet in three days, SDSU swept doubles for the team point. Brooke Henry and Tacy Haws-Lay dominated at No. 2 with an 8-1 win.
Ffion Davies and Jenny Blackburne were one-break winners at No. 1, as were Florencia Magni and Beatriz Souza at No. 3. Magni and Souza posted a perfect 3-0 record this weekend at No. 3 doubles.
Singles was more of the same, as all Jackrabbits were straight-set winners.
Magni won at the top spot 6-0, 6-3. Davies followed her performance with a 6-0, 6-2 win at No. 2. Blackburne was a 6-3, 6-3 winner at No. 3.
Souza completed her own undefeated weekend with a 6-4, 6-3 win at No. 4. She did not lose a single set in three matches.
Haws-Lay improved to 3-0 on the weekend, as well, with a 6-1, 6-0 win at No. 5. She only surrendered three total games in the three matches.
Henry closed out the meet and also finished the weekend with three singles. She won 6-2, 6-2 at No. 6.
"The girls were ready and focused again today, which was great," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "We have been talking all year about not riding the highs to high and lows to low. The girls were ready to play again and stayed solid today. If we stay consistent and confidence, we can gain a lot of belief from one weekend like this. The girls will put a solid week of practice in before facing Creighton on Friday."
SDSU is back in action next Friday at Creighton before taking its talents to Orlando for four meets during spring break. Start time on Friday is set for 6 p.m. in Omaha, Neb.

Thanks for the link(s)!
Somewhat ironically, I don't actually know to what degree your outside test for faith influenced the naming of my blog. I first remember hearing the phrase in a private e-mail conversation spring 2007 in which the articulation of "the outsider test" was one sentence. When I named my blog, I hadn't read your book or learned that it's most well-known for the Outsider Test for Faith. I thought it was just like "the problem of evil," "the problem of God's invisibility," or dozens of other arguments that aren't usually associated with any particular articulation or person.
But on the other hand, I had been a regular reader of DC for at least a month (including old posts) so the odds are very good that I was thinking about the Outsider Test for that reason.

Jeffrey, the first time I proposed the OTF was February 11, 2006. Iron Chariots Wiki picked it up and the last time the entry was edited was on July 22, 2007, so it was already there before that date. Just like I deliberately chose the title to this Blog to catch attention, so also I choose the title to this particular argument. And it has indeed caught on.

I just finished reading your book Mr. Loftus. I think it suffers from one fatal flaw: By dealing with so many issues it actually deals with none of them. There were many places where I felt you did not present the BEST argument for a Christian position (though most of the time you presented a decent argument). You also did not always include the counter arguments to your arguments.
After reading your book I got the same feeling that I got after reading the Case for Christ by Lee Strobel: Ok, that makes sense, you presented a decent case and answered some questions BUT how do people counter YOUR arguments?
Now of course you can't go back and forth ad infintum but like a public debate most of the issues are laid out to be evaluated after a little back and forth (though by no means are they all solved!). I do not feel your book did this adequately. Of course, it seems like your intention WAS to create a "Case for Christ" type book and thus in that case it succeeds. But I don't think a "Case for Christ" book actually succeeds in accomplishing the goal that you want it to and in actuality it shouldn't.
Just as someone becoming convinced of Christ because of "Case for Christ" is poor intellectualism anyone who is convinced of atheism or not being an evangelical by your book is also committing poor intellectualism.
Thus, at most, I think your book provides a good introduction to this issue. It in no way should convince someone of one position or the other. Much further reading and debate would be needed.
I think what you should do now is take each individual chapter in your book and make a book out of that chapter. Then this first book would be an excellent summary of the larger series. You should also think about getting a PhD and developing an even more powerful argument for atheism that way. Not only would you garner more respect and more respectable speaking opportunities you would have a much more developed and convincing argument for atheism. You could eventually even get paid by a university to then develop more arguments for an atheistic worldview. Why view your previous education as a waste of time? Take advantage of it and make a lasting contribution to the debate.
Anyway, those are my 2 cents. Probably not even worth 2 cents :p

Did someone just compare Why I Became An Atheist with The Case For Christ? There's a back handed compliment if I've ever heard one! I don't even know where to start......
I'll just say this, you find approximately ONE sentence in each chapter of The Case for Christ that contributes the the overall argument. Its mostly filled with Lee praising each interviewee and tossing a few softballs at him. This is not the case with Loftus' book.

- openlyatheist said...
In defense of Loftus' book, it is not for the uninitiated. Many sections I've had to read multiple times. My impression is that it is definitely not an introduction, but written for the studied Christian.

John, here are two simple questions that go, I think, to the heart of our last discussion:
(1) If one's religious faith is sociologically dependent, is one's rejection of other faiths sociologically dependent? For example, is the response a Christian has to a Muslim's claims -- i.e. the Christian's skepticism if Islam -- sociologically dependent?
(2) If a person (S1) from one culture intentionally adopts the sociologically dependent position of a person (S2) from another culture, isn't it the case that S1's position is 'just as' sociologically dependent as S2's? (And, if the OTF requires us to be skeptical about S1's beliefs, wouldn't it require us to be skeptical of S2's beliefs if they were socially transmitted by S1 to S2?)
If (1) and (2) obtain, then isn't it the case that a Christian's 'outside' position, if he undertakes the OTF, could be roughly identified with a Muslim's (or a Jew's, etc.) 'inside' position with respect to Christianity? That is, if the Christian were to step outside his faith, his skepticism towards his Christianity would be roughly identical with the skepticism towards Christianity that results from being inside, say, Islam (or Judaism, etc.); and that, therefore, every inside position is also, for someone else, an outside position? And if the skeptical part of everyone's inside position is roughly identical with the outside position you're asking someone to take, then isn't it the case that 'inside' and 'outside' are relative terms? And if 'inside' and 'outside' are relative terms, why are we to prefer the one to the other -- especially if *both* are sociologically determined (which is the case if (1) and (2) obtain)? And if both are sociologically determined, aren't you just asking, say, a Christian to 'trade' sociologically determined beliefs with a Muslim? And if all sociologically determined beliefs are dubious, isn't the OTF therefore a non-starter?

There are so many trolls that comment here I have no reason to know if someone like manning_is_john is one or not and is slapping me while appearing to be reasonable for some effect. In any case, does any Strobel book get the kind of recommendations that mine has gotten? Didn't think so.
- March 28, 2009 at 9:22 PM
- John W. Loftus said...
Eric, I've said pretty much all I want to say to you. I'm going to spend some time on Vic Reppert's additional criticisms if you'll stop repeating yourself. You refuse to understand even though you're much smarter than the average bear.
Yes, a Muslim is critical of Christianity precisely because s/he is a Muslim. And a Christian is critical of Islam precisely because s/he is a Christian. But that has nothing to do with the amount of skepticism they use to evaluate each other's faith. They are skeptical because they demand evidence and reasons to believe. That describes all of us with regard to the religious faiths we reject. That's the point. That's being an outsider, a skeptical person, for only an insider can believe. I'm just being much more consistent than you are with my skepticism, that's all. You must find a way to weasel your way out of this for you are clinging to your faith in the most desperate way. In nothing you have said have you presented anything by way of either an understanding of what the test is, or a good criticism of it that defeats it. I'd say keep trying but then I have other things to do, sorry.

"In nothing you have said have you presented anything by way of either an understanding of what the test is, or a good criticism of it that defeats it. I'd say keep trying but then I have other things to do, sorry."
No problem. Sometimes -- actually, most of the time -- discussions such as this one do reach an impasse (though I haven't simply been 'repeating myself,' and I think you know this; I've offered a few different criticisms of the OTF). I think my criticisms are strong, and you don't. Hey, it happens all the time in philosophy (and everywhere else), so it's no big deal! I look forward to reading your responses to Victor, and I appreciate the time you have taken responding to me since this discussion began.
- March 28, 2009 at 10:08 PM
- John W. Loftus said...
Yes, Eric, sometimes we just reach a point where we've said all we can say for now. Thanks for the cordial and friendly dialogue (sometimes it is I who lose patience first).
- March 28, 2009 at 10:12 PM
- Andre said...
Eric, where does it gets one if one keeps asking what you're asking?
Isn't one implication of the OTF, is to think about or to question your faith, since the obvious varieties indicates you might be in the wrong one. And in order to do that, doesn't one have to "think". Now since you and I have different beliefs that we both came by through thought, wouldn't this be a starting point? If this is so, then what you're asking of the OTF, is like asking someone not to think.
Obviously, all of us here are thinking, but we all come to different conclusions sometimes, and sometimes the same. The issues you/we then must deal with is why we come to those same, and different conclusions. This is evident when some do the test and fail (so to speak), and some will pass. Why would this be the fault of the test? By arguing the way you are only makes it seem that you're worried about what the power of the OTF can do, if applied
And since you don't think it's the best starting point, what would be you're suggestion? (Sorry if I missed it and you've already stated.)

For the record, I also think Christianity fails the outsider test. I should have made that more explicit. :)

Read: Chris Kreider Ranked 27th by Hockey's Future
Rangers prospect Chris Kreider has been ranked 27th by Hockey's Future in their ranking of the top 50 prospects in the NHL.
Kreider spent all of last season ranked 23rd.
Since Christian Thomas is ranked second on the Rangers team list, ahead of Ryan McDonagh and Tim Erixon, I figured that he would make the list, but it doesn't seem like it. No reason to think he would be ranked ahead of Kreider.
Kreider was called one of the top 10 prospects in hockey over the summer.

The Tenet is feature packed, centered around the exceptional optical clarity and performance that our Premium Optics deliver. Additional goodies like smooth action spring hinges and rubber- like Megol details make this style fit like a dream and stay put on your head when you have the throttle pinned.
Tough, yet thoughtful with the right to roam. The Rambler is comfortable on the busy streets of wherever or on the road less traveled. Underneath the tough exterior lies the performance features that set Smith apart from the masses.

There is an old Chinese saying that good things come in pairs, and here at Who What Wear, we couldn't agree more! Now, we're not talking about shoes, earrings, or even designer duos--though we do have a soft spot for all of those things--we're talking about fabulous twosomes of another sort: uber-stylish friends! Yes, for today's installment of What They Wear we're spotlighting the always-exciting styling choices of a handful of well-dressed compadres, including top-notch editors, gorgeous models, and of course, a set of twins! So grab your girlfriends and read on for all the need-to-know details about these savvy and on-trend looks.
Poppy Delevingne & Josephine de la Baume
When we first spotted this photo of Poppy Delevingne and Josephine de la Baume, the phrase "opposites attract" immediately came to mind. The gorgeous ladies were snapped together at the Saloni F/W 11 presentation during London Fashion Week sporting yin and yang ensembles. While Delevingne put together a lovely ladylike look--specifically, a white blazer and shorts by Irwin & Jordan, Aldo wedges, and a Louis Vuitton scarf--de la Baume opted for a downtown, tough-girl ensemble, consisting of a 3.1 Phillip Lim jacket, sheer Prada crop top, vintage gray skinnies, and Miu Miu's Leather Lace-Up Heels ($795, select Miu Miu boutiques). To recreate Delevingne's resort-ready look, don't miss Topshop's White Linen Waterfall Jacket ($84) and Steven Alan's Berin Silk and Linen-Blend Shorts ($160); when paired together, these all-white separates make for a refreshing springtime ensemble. Then simply add ASOS' Crinkle Oversize Leopard Scarf ($22) for that perfect animalistic finish! If you'd rather channel your inner bad girl instead, try Kelly Birgin's Silk Chiffon T-Shirt ($140) and Gestuz's Textured Wash Leather Biker Jacket ($430); the latter is a spot-on alternative to de la Baume's amazing 3.1 Phillip Lim pick.
Ashley & Mary-Kate Olsen
Admittedly, we're super fans of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and are always on the lookout for their winning outfit selections. Most recently, the dynamic duo caught our attention wearing luxuriously chic furry pieces to the celebration of Vanessa Traina's capsule collection for Maje in New York last month. While Mary-Kate kept cozy in a multi-colored coat from The Row's F/W 11 collection, black pants, and Balenciaga ankle boots, Ashley wowed us in a leopard-print hat and a boyfriend coat from The Row's Pre-Fall 11 collection. And though their outfits are more cold-weather friendly, Ashley's decision to accent her neutral picks with a bright blue bag is perfect in keeping with spring's rainbow bright trend. Now, seeing as the temps are beginning to heat up, piling on the furry accents may not be the most practical idea. Instead, incorporate some texture into your look with a lightweight outerwear option, like Topshop's Blue Textured Tie Dye Bomber Jacket ($150). If you're not into that idea, follow Ashley's lead and liven up your sober color palette with a vibrant bag. We're fans of Giani Bernini's Pebble Convertible Tote ($128), which is ideal for those who prefer a shoulder carrier, or Forever 21's Leatherette Embossed Handbag ($21) for our readers who fancy across-body styles.
Taylor Tomasi Hill & Zanna Roberts
It's always intriguing to see how top editors are addressing the latest trends, so of course, we were over the moon when we spotted two members of Marie Claire's fashion team--Taylor Tomasi Hill and Zanna Roberts--looking fabulous together at the 2011 Gem Awards in New York earlier this year. We love the way Tomasi Hill experimented with texture and the season's ultra-bright hues by wearing Prada's Fox Fur Stole ($4805, select Prada boutiques) with a Burberry blazer and yellow Balenciaga skirt. One of the things we like best about her smart outfit is that it's so simple to recreate; just grab a black jacket, like Theory's Lanai Relaxed Blazer, and pair it with Truly Madly Deeply's Mini Pencil Skirt ($32)! We're also fans of Roberts' clever styling choices, specifically the way she paired a Michael Kors sweater with J. Crew's Sequin Long Skirt ($2500) for a shimmering bohemian look. If you like the idea of combining a cozy crewneck with a floor-length skirt, we suggest trying J. Crew's Cotton Alexi Sweater ($70) with AllSaints' Bell Maxi Skirt ($90). However, if you're looking to give your ensemble a little razzle-dazzle a la Roberts, Culture Phit's Sequin Skirt ($130) is a lovely option for an evening affair.
Amanda Brooks & Jenna Lyons
What do you get when you put Amanda Brooks (the Fashion Director of Barneys New York ) and Jenna Lyons (the Creative Director of J. Crew) in the same room? Sartorial heaven, of course! And that is precisely what happened at the J. Crew Insiders Fashion Event hosted by American Express in New York late last year, where Brooks and Lyons were snapped wearing equally noteworthy ensembles. We're totally smitten with Brooks' quirky black and white mix, which consists of a Brooks Brothers button-up shirt, 3.1 Phillip Lim romper, and Roger Vivier shoes. To recreate her noteworthy outfit, simply pick up Lucca Couture's Suspender Pants ($59) and style it with BDG's Classic Solid Breezy Button-Down Shirt ($39) and KG by Kurt Geiger's Eveline Flower Detail Platforms ($269). Lyons also impressed us with her utilitarian-inspired ensemble; we particularly appreciate the way she styled her J. Crew pieces, contrasting the lacey frock's feminine vibe with an army jacket and nylon grommet belt. To create a similarly stylish outfit, we suggest wearing Alice by Temperley's Lace Shift Dress ($350) with BDG's Cinched Anorak ($78).
Hilary Rhoda & Byrdie Bell
Whether it's super elegant or a bit more playful, we always love a great cocktail dress, so you can imagine our excitement when we came across Hilary Rhoda and Byrdie Bell in their amazing frocks! The two beauties were snapped together at the launch party for Brian Atwood's second shoe line, B Brian Atwood, in New York early last month in ravishing ensembles. Rhoda looked stunning in neutral tones, wearing a taupe Lanvin dress from a few seasons ago and nude Brian Atwood's Zenith Pumps ($630, 877.551.7257), while Bell captivated us with her quirky and energetic ensemble. The actress/model selected David Szeto's Wrap Dress ($955), Brian Atwood boots, and an OAK hat, resulting in a quirky, modern mix we love. If you're currently in the market for a party outfit, Topshop's Limited Edition Drape Side Dress ($350) and ASOS' Salmon Ottoman Side Drape Cocktail dress ($134) are both lovely options that remind us of Rhoda's fancy frock. Of course if you're looking for a statement dress like Bell's, Lipsy's Instinct Animal Print Frill One Shoulder Dress ($99) will certainly fit the bill. Just be sure to wear it with Reiss' Quincey Hat ($27) to further achieve her winning look.
Katie Holmes & Joanna Hillman
A slew of industry insiders were spotted at Barneys New York last month for a preview of Holmes & Yang's F/W 11 collection--the latest from Katie Holmes and her design partner Jeanne Yang's clothing line. Among the stylish crowd, we spotted Joanna Hillman hanging with Holmes, both looking quite cozy in their amazing outwear. Hillman, the Senior Fashion Market Editor for Harper's Bazaar, demonstrated how to create an effortlessly layered look by styling Equipment's Signature Blouse ($208) in Electric Blue with a Proenza Schouler leather jacket and a Michael Kors fur vest. For the bottom half of her outfit, Hillman opted for a pair of slim Zara pants and finished with gray Nine West wedges. Holmes looked refined and chic in MaxMara's Camel Hair Belted Coat ($2390, 212.879.6100) over a top by The Row and The Men's Trouser ($1035, available at select Barneys New York stores) from her very own S/S 11 collection. For those of you interested in trying Hillman's smartly layered look, start by picking up her exact Equipment blouse or go for Old Navy's Lightweight Roll-Up Camp Shirt ($25) in French Blue for a more budget-friendly option. After you've got your bottom layer sorted out, grab Urban Code's Chunky Zip Leather Biker Jacket ($197) then add Kensi's Fur Vest ($35). If it's Holmes look you're after, simply pick up French Connection's All Hours Coat ($288) and style it with a black top and Calvin Klein's Stretch Cotton Wide Leg Pants ($69). The resulting look is an excellent choice for the office or an after-work event.--Jessica Baker

- How to Read a Study Record
Patients with mitochondrial disorders often have clinical symptoms. This can include migraines, seizures, strokes, hearing loss, balance issues, gastrointestinal issues, and many other symptoms. The investigators would like to learn more about these disorders and have designed a "Natural History Study" to monitor these conditions over time so that physicians and scientists can not only understand the problems that patients have, but work on developing treatments. The focus of the current work is to evaluate carriers of the m.3243A>G mitochondrial mutation. This study involves no treatment.

mtDNA mutation
m.3243 A>G carriers and their maternal relatives Other mutations in the mitochondrial genome may be included
controls (people not maternally related to mutation carriers) Preference is for married in relatives
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the neurological consequences of mutations in mitochondrial DNA, and the synthesis of energy. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell and are controlled by nuclear genetic material (DNA) and mitochondrial (mt) DNA. Mitochondrial DNA mutations impair mitochondrial function, and cause cellular energy failure. These mutations, when present in high abundance, cause neurological signs and symptoms that are clinically obvious. The investigators hypothesize that these mutations, when present in lesser abundance, will cause measurable alterations in the patient's neuropsychological profile and cerebral energy profile. This study does not involve any experimental or approved therapy. The investigators will evaluate the patient's condition with blood/urine tests, neurological exam, MRI/MRS, questionnaires, motor skills functioning and genetic testing.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|4 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
All patients who have a documented mtDNA point mutation will be enrolled. These mutations are genetically determined and transmitted through the maternal lineage. Therefore, this study will focus on family clusters and concentrate on the maternal relatives including the mother and all siblings. All patients suspected of having an mtDNA point mutation regardless of age, health status, gender, race, or ethnicity will be evaluated. The minimal age of entry into the study will be 4 years or older. We will also evaluate controls, or people do do not carry a mitochondrial mutation and are generally family members, not maternally related to a mtDNA mutation carrier
Inclusion Criteria:
Control (generally a non maternally related relative) Known carrier of a mitochondrial DNA mutation, or Maternally related to someone with a mitochondrial DNA mutation. Current focus is m.3243A>G mutations
Exclusion Criteria:
- Younger than 4 years of age
- No confirmed mtDNA mutation in family

CORFU, NY - A barn near Corfu was destroyed by flames early Wednesday morning.
It broke out around 2:00am on County Line Road in Genesee County. Crews first on the scene found the structure fully involved in flames.
There were no animals inside, however various pieces of farm equipment were destroyed.
Fire investigators estimate damage around $50,000. Crews from both Erie and Genesee County responded.
Crews needed to bring in water from nearby ponds by way of water tankers because there were no nearby fire hydrants.
The cause remains under investigation.

In a Microsoft Windows 95/98/98 Second Edition network, hardware and software-related problems can cause one or more computers to lose the ability to browse or communicate with other computers. These problems range from no network functionality at all to random error messages when transmitting data across the network.
This article provides troubleshooting steps you can use to diagnose and resolve communication problems in a Windows 95/98 network. Note that troubleshooting communication problems is not always a straight-forward process. If one of the procedures in the "More Information" section does not work, go to the next procedure until the problem is fixed. To increase your knowledge of the major issues and possibly reduce the time it takes to resolve the problem, you may want to read this entire article before you begin to troubleshoot your issue.
Before You Begin
Before you begin troubleshooting your network connectivity problem, consider the following questions:
? Has this configuration ever worked before, or did this just start happening? If it just started, what has changed between the time this configuration was working and the time it stopped working?
? Has new hardware, cabling, or software been added? If this new addition is removed, does the problem go away?
? Is this problem occurring on one computer, several, or all of them? If the problem is happening on all computers, it may be cabling or connector related. If the problem is happening on only one or a few computers, it may be software or hardware related.
? Is the connection to the computer active (if the network adapter has transmit/receive data lights, are they blinking)?
IMPORTANT: Before you begin troubleshooting, make backup copies of the following system configuration files:
? Config.sys
? Autoexec.bat
? System.ini
? Win.ini
For information about how to copy files, click Start, click Help, click the Index tab, type "files" (without quotation marks), and then double- click the "Copying" topic.
To troubleshoot network connectivity problems, follow each step, and then attempt to connect to the computer again. If you are still unable to connect to the computer, proceed to the next step.
1. If you are receiving a network-related error message when you start your computer, query in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for the exact error message. The Microsoft Knowledge Base is available at the following Microsoft Web site:
2. Verify your computer and the computer you are trying to view has file and print sharing installed. To do so, follow these steps on both computers:
a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
b. Double-click Network.
c. Verify that "File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks" is in the list of installed network components. If it is not installed, continue with step D. If it is installed, continue with step 3.
d. Click File And Print Sharing.
e. Click the "I want to be able to give others access to my files" check box to select it, and then click OK.
f. Click OK, and then restart the computer when you are prompted to do so.
3. Verify the network adapter settings are correct and that there are no conflicts with other hardware devices. To do so, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
b. Double-click System, and then click the Device Manager tab.
If a red "X" is displayed next to the network adapter, enable the network adapter by clicking it, clicking Properties, clicking the Disable In This Hardware Profile check box to clear it, clicking OK, clicking Close, and then restarting your computer if you are prompted to do so.
If an exclamation point in a yellow circle is displayed next to the network adapter, continue with step D.
c. Click the network adapter, and then click Properties.
d. Click the Resources tab. Verify that the interrupt request line (IRQ), input/ouput (I/O) address, direct memory access (DMA), and RAM address settings are correct for your network adapter. To determine if your network adapter is physically configured to use these settings, refer to the documentation included with it.
e. To change the resource settings, click the Use Automatic Settings check box to clear it.
f. Specify a different IRQ, DMA channel, I/O address, and/or RAM address for the network adapter. You may need to try several settings if you do not know the settings used by other hardware devices.
g. Click OK, and then click No when you are prompted to restart your computer.
h. Click Start, click Shut Down, click Shut Down, and then click OK. Turn off your computer for 10-15 seconds, and then turn it back on.
4. If you are using Windows 95, skip to step 5. If you are using Windows 98, use the System File Checker tool to verify that no Windows 98 networking files are damaged or replaced. For information about using the System File Checker tool, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
ARTICLE-ID: 185836 TITLE : Description of the System File Checker Tool (Sfc.exe)
ARTICLE-ID: 129605 TITLE : How to Extract Original Compressed Windows Files
NOTE: If you apply a fix provided by Microsoft, some networking files may be replaced with updated versions. To prevent further problems from occurring, do not replace these updated files.
5. If you are using Windows 95, perform the troubleshooting steps in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, and then skip to step 6:
136337 Troubleshooting Windows 95 Startup Problems and Error Messages
If you are using Windows 98, use the System Configuration Utility to disable all non-essential drivers and programs that may be preventing network drivers from loading properly. To do so, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.
b. On the Tools menu, click System Configuration Utility.
c. On the General tab, click Selective Startup, and then click the following check boxes to clear them:? Process Config.sys File
? Process Autoexec.bat File
? Process Winstart.bat File
? Process System.ini File
? Process Win.ini File
? Load Startup Group Items
d. Click OK, and then quit the System Information tool.
e. Restart the computer.
Using the System Configuration Utility (Msconfig.exe), you can isolate the specific file or registry entry that is causing the problem after restarting your computer several times. Once the specific file entry that is causing the problem is determined, you should edit the appropriate file (using a text editor such as Notepad) or registry entry (using Registry Editor) to export (for backup purposes) and remove this entry and return the System Configuration Utility to Normal Startup mode.
For information about clean booting Windows 98 using the System Configuration Utility, please see the Narrowing the Focus section in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
TITLE : How to Perform Clean-Boot Troubleshooting for Windows 98
6. Attempt to view other computers on the network using a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) connection. To do so, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. In the Open box type, type the following line
where <computername> is the name of the computer to which you are trying to connect
c. Click OK.
If you can view other computers using only a UNC connection, consider the following possible causes:
- A browse server may not be selected on the network. In a Windows 98 network, a computer that maintains a list of workgroup servers is selected. It can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes to establish a browse server. If no browse server exists, you cannot browse computers on the network. Wait a few minutes and then try again.
- There may be a network cabling problem or a problem with the other computer's network adapter configuration. This can be the case if only the local computer appears in Network Neighborhood.
7. Test TCP/IP connectivity by attempting to ping several IP addresses such as "127.0.0.1", the network adaptor address, and the gateway address.
8. Verify that the network cabling and connectors are working properly, and that the network cabling is connected to your computer and the computer to which you are trying to connect.
If the network cabling is Thin Ethernet, connect two computers with a single cable, T-connectors, and terminators that are known to work properly. If the network cabling is twisted-pair (RJ-45), you must use a hub or concentrator. Windows 98 does not support direct connections of RJ-45 cable between computers. This check isolates possible cabling or connector problems that may not be clearly visible.
NOTE: It may also be necessary to reroute network cabling away from sources of electrical interference, such as fluorescent lights, radios, and cordless telephones.
If the network topology is 10Base2 (Thin Ethernet or Thinwire), place a 50-Ohm terminator on the network adapter. If the local computer name now appears in Network Neighborhood but does not appear when the regular cabling is attached, a cabling or connector problem exists. Examples of cabling and connector problems include an electrical short in the cabling, improper termination, and the use of the wrong type of cabling. Ensure that each computer's T-connector is secured on each network adapter, that 50-Ohm terminators are at each end of the network segment, and that RG-58 cabling (not RG-59 or RG-62 cabling) is being used.
If the local computer does not appear in Network Neighborhood, the problem may be with the local network adapter's hardware or software configuration. To determine if this is the case, refer to "Test the Network Adapter Drivers" section later in this article.
9. There may be a problem with the network redirector. The following test uses the Windows 98 network components to generate a NetBIOS name conflict on the network (each computer must have a unique computer name on the network). To perform this test, set two computers to use the same computer name and check to see if an error message is generated. If an error message is displayed, the computers are communicating. If no error message occurs, a hardware problem exists on the network.
To test the network redirector, change the computer name to the name of the computer to which you are trying to connect. To do so, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
b. Double-click Network.
c. Click the Identification tab, and then type the name of the computer to which you are trying to connect in the Computer Name box.
d. Click OK, and then click Yes when you are prompted to restart your computer.
You should receive the following error message when your computer is starting:
The following error occurred while loading protocol number 1. Error 38:The computer name you specified is already in use on the network. To specify a different name, double-click the Network icon in Control Panel.
Using the Client for Microsoft Networks displays of the following error message report :
The following error occurred while loading protocol number 0. Error 38: The computer name you specified is already in use on the network. To specify a different name, double-click the Network icon in Control Panel. would instead indicate that Win9x Computer Name is identical to a user name account, so a very simple solution to this is to differentiate Computer Name from known user name accounts.
If you receive the error message, the two computers are communicating.
If you do not receive the error message, one of the following hardware problems may exist:
- The network adapter's configuration (hardware, I/O address, IRQ, memory conflict, etc) is incorrect on one or more of the computers. For information about how to change network adapter settings, refer to step 3.
- One or more of the network adapters is malfunctioning. If your network adapter includes a diagnostic utility, run the utility to determine if the network adapter is functioning properly.
- There is a problem with the cabling or connectors. This could be an electrical short, interference, or a cable, connector, or terminator that is not the correct specification for your network.
To troubleshoot electrical shorts and interference problems, either test the cabling with a testing device, or replace it with cables and connectors that are known to work correctly.
e. Repeat steps A-C, changing the computer name back to its original, unique name in step C.
10. Remove and reinstall the network adapter drivers. To do so, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
b. Double-click Network.
c. In the list of installed network components, click your network adapter, click Remove, click Client For Microsoft Networks, and then click Remove.
d. Click OK, and then click Yes when you are prompted to restart your computer.
e. Repeat steps A-B.
f. On the Configuration tab, click Add.
g. Click Adapter, and then click Add.
h. In the Manufactures box, click the network adapter's manufacturer, and then click the appropriate model in the Network Adapters box.
i. Click OK, click OK again, and then click Yes when you are prompted to restart your computer.
NOTE: If the network adapter is hardware configurable (uses jumpers or switches), the settings on the network adapter and in Device Manager must match. To determine the settings for the network adapter, refer to the documentation included with the adapter or contact the network adapter's manufacturer.
If the network adapter is software configurable, you may need to specify a different IRQ, DMA channel, I/O address, or RAM address in Device Manager. For example, some hard disk controllers are configured to use an I/O address of 300h by default, which is also the default for some network adapters. To change the network adapter's resource settings in Device Manager, refer to step 3.
j. Try to connect to the computer using its UNC name. For information about how to do so, refer to step 6.
k. If you are unable to connect to the computer using its UNC name, double-click the Network Neighborhood icon on the desktop to see if the local computer is listed.
11. If you are still unable to view the local computer in Network Neighborhood, there are several other possible causes:
- The wrong network adapter driver is being used. If the adapter is emulating another adapter (such as the NE2000), it may be necessary to change jumpers or switches on the adapter for the driver to work properly. For more information about configuring the network adapter or obtaining updated drivers, contact the network adapter's manufacturer.
- The network adapter is in a slot that is not functioning correctly. To verify this, put the network adapter in another slot in the computer or install the network adapter in another computer to determine if the adapter itself is defective.
- The network adapter is malfunctioning. Try using a different network adapter or run a diagnostic test if one is included with the adapter.
- The bus speed on the computer is too fast for the network adapter. Most network adapters are designed to work at Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus speed, which is 8.33 megahertz (MHz). Setting the bus speed any faster may result in unreliable performance.
The bus speed setting is usually changed in the computer's CMOS. Try lowering the computer's bus speed if intermittent problems occur.
- There is a bad or missing connection. Some network adapters, such as the Intel EtherExpress 16, include a utility that checks the integrity of wiring and connectors between two computers. If one of these utilities is available, use it to determine whether or not the two computers are physically connected.
12. Run a diagnostic test on the network adapter to ensure it is functioning correctly. Some network adapter diagnostic programs can also test communication between computers (this tests the network adapter and cabling). If this test works, Windows 98/95 should also work, provided the correct drivers are being used. If this low-level test does not allow two network adapters to communicate, some type of hardware problem exists with a network adapter, the cabling, or the connectors. Contact your hardware vendor if either the network adapter diagnostic test or the network test fails.
Windows 98/95 includes the NET DIAG utility, which can be used to perform a low-level communications test between two computers. To perform this test, follow these steps:
NOTE: Both computers must have the same protocols installed in order for this test to work.
a. On one computer, click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS- DOS Prompt.
b. At the command prompt, type "net diag" (without quotation marks) and press ENTER.
NET DIAG searches for a diagnostics server and should display the following prompt:
No diagnostic servers were found on the network. Is Microsoft Network Diagnostics currently running on any other computers on the network?
c. Press N (for No). This causes the computer from which you are running NET DIAG to be a diagnostic server until you press a key.
d. On another computer, click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt.
e. At the command prompt, type "net diag" (without quotation marks) and press ENTER.
If a NetBIOS-capable protocol (such as NetBEUI or TCP/IP) and IPX/SPX are both installed, you receive the following prompt:
IPX and NetBIOS have been detected. Press I to use IPX for diagnostics, N to use NetBIOS, or E to exit this program.
f. Press I (for IPX) or N (for NetBIOS) to test the network connection using that particular protocol.
If you are unable to communicate with the diagnostic server using the protocol you chose, try the other protocol.
If you are able to communicate with the diagnostic server using one protocol but not the other, the network is working properly. For the protocol you are unable to communicate with, verify that it is installed correctly on both computers, and then run NET DIAG again.
If you are unable to communicate with the diagnostic server using either protocol, run NET DIAG again, but this time reverse the role of each computer.
If your network adapter is not on the supported network adapter list, you may want to contact the network adapter manufacturer for information about the correct emulation or for an updated network adapter driver. The manufacturer may also have information about jumpers and switches that may need to be reconfigured for a particular emulation mode (for example, NE2000 emulation).
For more information about diagnosing problems with your network adapter or cabling, contact the hardware vendor.

PROVIDENCE – The Rhode Island State Police, and other law enforcement agencies across the state are cooperating to provide backpacks and school supplies to disadvantaged students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade. State Police Col. Stephen O'Donnell said this year, the fifth year the program has been in operation, they will be handing out 1,200 backpacks filled with pencils, crayons, rulers and other basic school supplies, as well as items such as tissues, paper towels, and hand sanitizer for use by the entire class. That is 450 more backpacks than were given out last year.
The goal of the program, called Kids, Cops and Classrooms, O'Donnell said, "is to relieve the burden upon parents when they experience economic problems, so they can prepare to send their kids back to school with appropriate school supplies.
"As a result of the difficult economic times facing the state," he added, "cities and towns and families are being asked to provide more school supplies for themselves."
Another goal, O'Donnell said, "is that by doing the right thing by the youth in our communities, police officers are leading the way, so youth know that law enforcement officers are their friends and we're here to help them. This creates partnerships of mutual trust. This trust will create cooperation in the neighborhoods to keep them and everyone else safe.
Cumberland Police Chief John Desmarais, president of the R.I. Police Chiefs' Association, told The Times, "Being a police chief, I have sat on a lot of panels interviewing recruits, and the question is always asked: why do youwant to become a police officer? The answers are, I want to give back to the community, I want to make a difference. I want to help. This is a wayfor law enforcement to keep up with that.
"To see children on the first day of school, they're all anxious to get back to school," the chief said. "It's better for a child to have a backpack, supplies, so he doesn't feel different from all the others. That is key. Everyone should begin the school year on an equal level, and that is what we are looking to do."
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin, a former Pawtucket Police captain, said, "People will ask me, how do you reduce crime in the state, how do you make a better quality of life? It all starts with kids. Events like this, which we all support and law enforcement supports, is about keeping kids in school so they can get an education, so they have opportunities in the future they can avail themselves of and not commit crime. So they can see that the police help them get that education. All too often, police and prosecutors see kids as victims. We don't want to deal with kids as victims, we want to deal with kids who are strong parts of the community.
That's why I like the title of this: Kids, Cops and Classrooms. What does it put first? Kids."
Law enforcement agencies have been collecting funds to buy some of the backpacks and school supplies and others were donated by corporate sponsors such as Ocean State Job Lot, Benny's Home and Auto, CVS Caremark, W.B. Mason, Samsonite, and Walgreen's.
The program is operated with the assistance of Crossroads Rhode Island, Children's Friend, Project Night Vision, the Center for Southeast Asians, and the Hispanic Ministers' Association. Parents looking to obtain backpacks foe their children should contact Crossroads Rhode Island at 521-2255, O'Donnell said.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments about this wreath. It is a bit time consuming, but totally worth it.
12 inch foam wreath
Cardstock – I used 8.5 x 11
hot glue gun
spray adhesive
glitter – I like Martha Stewart's crystal fine glitter
1 1/2 yards sheer ribbon
1. I made two different sized circles. For the large circles, cut the cardstock into four pieces.
2. Cut each square into a circle. Doesn't have to be perfect. Mine were ovalish, they both work.
3. For the smaller circles, cut your cardstock into strips about 3 inches wide. Then cut each strip into three squares. Cut each square into a circle.
4. Cut each circle into a spiral, trying to keep the thickness even throughout. Mine definitely were not even, but it is helpful.
5. Once all the spirals are cut, start rolling the flower starting with the outside. Roll as tight as possible keeping the bottom edge aligned at all times.
6. When it is completely rolled, pinch the flower together a little bit to help it hold it's shape.
7. When you let go of your flower, it will spring open into shape.
8. Put a group of your flowers together on a sheet of newspaper and spray lightly with the spray adhesive. Then sprinkle your glitter on top. I was pretty generous with my glitter. Let dry at least 1/2 hour.
9. Hot glue the flower together by placing a little bit of glue on the bottom flap and then hold the flower in the shape you want while the glue dries. I found that if I left the individual flowers unglued, they would start to unwind and lose some of their shape after a few days.
10. Start gluing the large and small flowers on your foam wreath so that they are touching and showing as little of the foam as possible. You will probably have some little bits of the foam peeking through where you couldn't fit even the little flowers. Continue with all your flowers and come back to that at the end. Once all the flowers are in place you can go back and cover some of the areas where a lot of the foam is showing. I took a left over glittered flower, pulled out a little bit of the middle, and tore it off from the rest of the paper.
11. I curled it as tight as I could and stuck it into the little holes in my wreath. If I needed more, I kept taking little bits from the left over flowers and wound them into little pieces.
12. I bought one and a half yards of sheer ribbon and wrapped it through the wreath and tied a bow at the top.
Email me if you have any questions and please send me a link with your wreath. I would love to see how it turns out!

Britney Spears' Manager Calls Upcoming Release Her 'Ray of Light' Album
September 26, 2013 4:57 PM
Britney Spears has been hard at work on her forthcoming album, but little has been revealed up until now. While will.i.am has confirmed he's executive producer of the album, Spears' manager Larry Rudolph talked with Billboard and provided some insight into the songwriters she's been working with as well as her upcoming residency show at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
Having whittled down 600 songs to 28 for her Vegas residency, Rudolph told Billboard her upcoming two-year show Britney Spears: Piece of Me is "a new chapter in the Britney Spears saga."
