|Hedysarum laeve, a rhizomatous clonal half-shrub, commonly dominates in inland dunes in semiarid areas of northern China. This species propagates vegetatively by the extension of horizontal rhizomes resulting in programmed reiteration of apical and/or axillary meristems. In this study, (14)C labeling and experimental defoliation were employed to test the photosynthate translocation within the interconnected parent-daughter ramet pairs. A proportion of (14)C-photosynthates was transported from the parent ramet into the daughter ramet, the roots of the daughter ramet, and the rhizome; these three components showed more than 70% sink activity after 24-h translocation. On the other hand, the basipetal translocation (from daughter ramet into parent ramet) was relatively small with sink activity of less than 5%, but sink activity of the rhizome exceeded 10%. Defoliation had an influence on the photosynthate translocation between parent and daughter ramets. The intact parent ramets significantly increased their (14)C-photosynthate translocation into defoliated daughter ramets when compared to intact daughter ramets. The daughter ramets transported significantly more (14)C-photosynthates to the defoliated parent ramets than to the intact parent ramets. A portion of (14)C-photosynthates was transported into the rhizome from both parent and daughter ramets, indicating that the rhizome is supported by both ramets for photosynthates. The clonal integration between ramets of the species through rhizome connection may confer benefit both to the ramets and the genet in adverse environments.

As of Tuesday, March 19, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
ATLANTA -- The Georgia Professional Standards Commission won't investigate former Alcovy High School principal LaQuanda Carpenter on allegations of purchasing alcohol while on a school trip and misusing school funds.
Jeff Meadors, who is a member of the Newton County Board of Education, filed a complaint with the PSC in January as a citizen based on what he learned through litigation discovery. In October, Carpenter withdrew a pending defamation lawsuit against Meadors that alleged that he commented about her or told others information about her to post on the Newton Citizen website.
Meadors' complaint alleged that Carpenter breached a code of ethics for educators by being at a school-related activity with students while under the influence of, possessing or consuming alcohol while on a band trip to Florida in 2010. The complaint also alleged that she misused public or school funds in regard to missing club funds at the school.
In June, after the alcohol issue was brought to the attention of Newton County School System Superintendent Gary Mathews, a school system investigation was conducted. Mathews reported that the evidence did not call for any disciplinary action. Mathews also addressed the missing funds issue in June, saying that school officials should have kept better records, but no evidence suggested that the funds were misused.
The PSC voted Thursday on the complaint, deciding that there was no probable cause to investigate any further.
Carpenter's last day at NCSS was Feb. 1, after previously being out on maternity leave since November. The Newton County Board of Education paid Carpenter and her husband Dennis Carpenter, who was deputy superintendent of Operations, nearly $70,000 as part of a settlement agreement after both submitted letters to NCSS requesting release from their contracts.

Jeff Meadows is catering to the right wing Republicans in Newton County. Jeff Meadows is trying to position himself for public office. The citizens of Newton County deserves qualified educated leaders on the BOC. He with all of his negative rhetoric is like a cancer for this community. Hopefully, he reads this since it appears he is aware of what is written in the newspaper.

Do you propose we we use Dekalb or Clayton as examples of a "How To" for running a education system? For the record Eyeball, Meadors is an active memember of the BoE not BoC.

i think if filing this complaint is what it took to send the real cancer out of the system then in my opinion good for him - i think he tells the truth - i think he states fact - just ask Hunter Hall - facts so truthful that he jumped up and down in public about that very truth - keep telling the truth it is the only way to turn things around - truth - choice and the American dream - i love to read his work and learn something each time and i am a Democrat

The board probably wants to wash their hands of this person, not have anything to do with her past this point, regardless of whether there was any merit to the charges. I'm glad she's gone; she was not an asset to the school system or the students. That anyone would defend her is more shocking...
dennistay53 2 years, 8 months ago
First, Jeff Meadors is already in Public Office as he is a member of the Board of Education. Second ,Since when did wanting a good school system idea belong only to right wing republicans? 3rd the Carpenters are already gone and out of state, thus no need to pursue this.

What Are the Education Requirements for a Hotel Management Career?
The requirements for a career as a hotel manager usually include a bachelor's degree and significant work experience. In some cases, a high school diploma or associate degree may be enough. Read on to find out more about educational programs for hotel managers, as well as the economic outlook for this occupation. Schools offering Hotel & Restaurant Management degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Job Description
With an education and training in hotel management, you'd be prepared for a career as a lodging manager. Your work setting is dependent upon your employer, since hotel management skills could carry over to other lodging institutions like boardinghouses or hostels. You might work in an assistant manager role, in a head manager role or with a team of managers, depending on the size of the establishment at which you work.
The overall operations of the hotel are in your hands. You need to make sure that your employers are drawing a profit from the establishment. This means that you have to actively advertise and try to attract customers. Additionally, you'll perform bookkeeping duties, which can include purchasing supplies and keeping track of the income your hotel generates.
You're also in charge of overseeing your team of workers. You'll write the work schedules and monitor employee performance. If any customers have complaints or questions, you'll answer them to ensure that they're handled properly.
Educational Programs
For hotel management careers, it's recommended that you acquire a bachelor's degree, although a high school diploma or associate degree can suffice in some cases. Majors in hotel management and hospitality management are the most common. You can expect to take both general business courses and specialized hospitality courses. Capstone courses are also common.
Hospitality Courses
A hotel or hospitality management bachelor's degree program may include the following major courses:
- Hospitality law
- Hospitality financial management
- Hotel and restaurant sales and marketing
- Customer service
- Facilities and room division management
- Hotel operations
- Restaurant and beverage management
Business Courses
Another area covered in a hotel or hospitality management bachelor's program is general business. Some example courses you might take include:
- Management principles
- Business computing
- Human resources management
- Business communication
- Economics
- Finance and accounting
- Strategic management
Significant work experience is usually required for a position as a hotel manager. You'll find many hotel management programs have internship or work opportunities. If offered, you'll want to participate in such an internship program in order to gain some firsthand experience.
Job Outlook and Salary Information
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that lodging managers are expected to see little or no change in employment over the 2012-2022 decade (www.bls.gov). Only a growth of one percent is projected during that period. Despite an increase in tourism and travel, lodging businesses are looking to cut expenses and streamline operations. As a result, you'll find that hotels are increasingly using only one manager per location. Your best chances for employment are with full-service hotels like casinos and resorts. In addition, the BLS notes that bachelor's degree holders might find more opportunities.
The BLS noted that lodging managers had a median annual income of $46,810 in May 2012. The top ten percent of earners made $89,530 or more annually, while the bottom ten percent of earners made $29,290 or less annually. Most of the employment was in the traveler accommodation industry, and workers in that area earned an average of $53,780 in May 2012.

It's not too late. With two days to go until Valentine's Day, you still have time to give the ultimate expression of your devotion by presenting your loved one with a replica of your head made out of pure chocolate.
Reuters has the skinny:
Chocolate hearts for loved ones on Valentine's Day are so last year — at least in Japan where one Tokyo design firm offered up its 3D scanner to make miniature chocolate replicas of faces.
In a one-off celebration for Valentine's Day, KS Design Lab invited people to be scanned with its 3D body scanner to create silicon moulds in the shape of their heads. Participants then poured chocolate into them to make mini-me treats on a stick.
'I didn't actually think it would turn out to look this much like me, so I'm a bit surprised,' said Mariya Kawae, 30, who planned to give out heads to her husband and work mates.
The finished heads are roughly 3 cm (1.2 inches) in length and are mounted on a lollipop stick for "handy eating."
It the idea of having your head shrunk and/or on a pike is off-putting, the website candyaddict sells an anatomically correct chocolate human heart. And the website Chocolate Fantasies has your number if you are seeking a more intimate body part cast in chocolate.

Even if you didn't support health care reform, it's easy to get behind the White House's childhood anti-obesity campaign.
Taking a direct aim at the growing problem of childhood obesity, the Obama administration, led by First Lady Michelle Obama, is right on target with a task force plan that would confront the obesity epidemic over the course of a generation.
It is in our best interest to reduce obesity rates, and the ideal place to start is with children.
A report released last week was jam-packed with recommendations to help reverse the terrible trend and reduce obesity rates to levels from a generation ago.
Nearly one of three children today are overweight or obese, which is astonishing enough except that two-thirds of adults are too - and thus at risk for diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers.
Obesity has tripled among adolescents since 1980, rising to more than 17 percent, while the number of childhood hospitalizations for obesity-associated conditions doubled between 1999 and 2005.
Obesity in children has serious long-term implications. For the first time, children are being diagnosed with weight-related chronic ailments that usually strike much later in life, type 2 diabetes, popularly known as adult-onset diabetes.
The good thing about the White House plan is that it encourages parents to be better role models.
Some involve changing the way food is marketed and labeled so that parents have useful, understandable information. Recommendations also would seek to limit some advertising practices targeted at children.
A lot of the recommendations involve education, which include teaching parents and children about modern dietary challenges, the value of physical activity and that it is not healthy for children to spend all of their time sitting in front of a television screen or computer monitor.
It took us decades to get to this point and it will take decades to get us back. Parents and teachers must ingrain into young people the healthy eating and exercise habits that will last a lifetime.
This national initiative is one we all can get behind. It is a war worth fighting in the ongoing battle against childhood obesity.

2012 Watch: More on Huckabee
Reports of the former governor's political demise may have been greatly exaggerated.
6:01 PM, Feb 2, 2010 • By MATTHEW CONTINETTI
Readers made some great points in response to my post yesterday on the race for the 2012 GOP nomination. One correspondent pointed out that I neglected to mention John Kasich, the former Republican congressman and Fox News personality who is running for governor of Ohio. A Kasich victory would launch him once more into the Republican stratosphere--but it would be hard to begin a presidential campaign after less than a year in office!
Another reader pointed out an interesting detail contained in the likely candidates' FEC reports. Here's a slightly edited excerpt:
All these points are dead-on. (I sent an inquiry to Romney's Free and Strong America PAC about their number of donors; they haven't responded.)
What's striking is that Huckabee's political career was declared finished just recently, when it was discovered that he had commuted the sentence of cop-killer Maurice Clemmons. No question, Clemmons likely will feature in an anti-Huckabee attack ad in early January 2012. But I've heard from many Huck supporters who are willing to overlook the governor's record of commutations and pardons. Huckabee is with the Republican grass-roots. He's a great debater. He came from nowhere to win Iowa in 2008. Why shouldn't we expect him to surprise us again?

LOS ANGELES (AP) - In an effort to find a treatment for autism, scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles are leading a $9 million experiment that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of drugs within weeks rather than years.
It's part of a push by the National Institutes of Health to fast-track the pace of discovery that hopefully will lead to new therapies for several neurological disorders. Besides autism, the federal agency is also backing rapid efforts to seek treatments for psychosis and mood and anxiety disorders.
Typically, the path to getting drugs approved is long and costly and often littered with setbacks. The goal of this new approach is to test several potential drugs in small groups of people and then decide which one merits further investigation.
"We need to quickly and accurately identify which ones are really ready" for primetime, UCLA lead investigator Dr. James McCracken said in a statement.
UCLA is working with other medical centers to pinpoint promising drugs for autism, a spectrum of disorders affecting a person's ability to communicate and interact with others.
Federal statistics show one child out of 88 in the U.S. is believed to have autism or a related disorder. The number of cases has jumped in recent years mainly because of wider screening and better diagnosis. Children with autism may make poor eye contact or exhibit repetitive movements such as rocking or hand-flapping.
The causes of autism are unknown, but scientists lately have focused on genetics, which are thought to account for roughly 20 percent of cases. People with autism are often prescribed drugs to manage hyperactivity and aggressiveness, but the medications do not target the core problems, doctors said.
Enrollment in the UCLA-led project has yet to begin but researchers expect it to happen soon. Over a three-year period, they will test several compounds and study how they interact with the brain.

CHAMBERSBURG >> Residents can expect to see work on the outside of Chambersburg Area Senior High School in several months, as crews replace the concrete overhangs above each of the three floors along the main part of the building.
Chambersburg Area school board is currently soliciting bids for the project, which calls for "extensive rehabilitation of concrete overhangs on three facades of the existing high school building."
Though renovation at CASHS was completed just a few years ago, the overhangs did not show deterioration at the time of planning in 2005-06, said district spokesperson Tammy Stouffer.
After some set-up starting in April, the bulk of the work will start in June, after school has let out for the summer. The district wants it completed before students come back in August, but it could turn into a two-summer project, according to business manager Steve Dart.
The project has been estimated to cost $750,000, but that was before it was discovered that the overhangs are more deteriorated than originally thought, Dart said.
According to an email included with the Dec. 4 school board agenda, Richard Mula of Mula Architects, Lancaster, reported that up to 60 percent of the overhangs "are beyond remediating and will need to be completely removed and recast."
There was significantly more deterioration than the first study two years ago, Mula reported. Because of that, he advised that the original plan to repair the overhangs should be changed to partial restoration.
"We are recommending that the best course of action is to fully remove the concrete sills as close to the building facade as possible and create a small ledge detail that would visually carry the line across the elevation," Mula said.
"The school district would have eliminated future issues completely from reoccurring and will minimize maintenance requirements," he added.
The school board will take bids Feb. 7 through March 4, and at the soonest will award the bid at the March 26 board meeting.

I'm getting a prophylactic mastectomy with implant reconstruction. I'm 5'8 and 168 lbs and wear a 36B. The doctor recommends direct implant recon and could put in a 350cc implant, worse case 300cc. He said putting in an expander might not be an option. Why do some patients not have an option to have expanders? Will a 350cc implant look really small on a woman my size? I'm worried that I won't be happy if my breasts look too small after surgery and would like the look of at least a C cup.
How Big is 300 or 350cc?
Doctor Answers 10
How to pick breast implants.
1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.
4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is realistic for your anatomy. The most common mistake is to go too big.
5) I recommend that the surgeon NOT make a final implant choice in advance, because this is just an educated guess.
6) The surgeon should have a large inventory of different size and shape implants available in the operating room.
7) Then the surgeon can put sterile disposable implant SIZERS in your breasts during surgery, to see what a particular implant really looks like inside you. This is how to make the best choice. A sizer costs only $45, and takes all the guess work out.
8) Finally, the sizer is discarded, and the correct breast implants (based on what you want and on your anatomy) are opened from the operating room inventory, and put in your breasts to complete the operation.
Augmentation after prophylactic mastectomy
I am sure that you have a lot to think about if you have decided to undergo prophylactic mastectomy.I would encourage you to focus upon the reason for the surgery and its potential longterm benefits in reducing the risk of breast cancer. That said, the cosmetic result is important. A 300 cc implant will produce no more than a B cup given that the underyling breast tissue will be removed. Exactly how much volume it will produce is dependent upon implant placement, your chest musculature, the thickness of the skin draping over the implant and other factors. Discuss your expectations in detail with your plastic surgeon prior to the procedure. I generally do not favor tissue expansion because it will require supplemental surgery to replace the expander with a permanent implant or leave you with an implant with a port (which some women can feel under the skin and find objectionable). Piggy-backing two implants also has its own problems. It would be best if you could achieve the desired result in a one stage procedure. Wishing you the best of outcomes!
Breast augmentation & proper implant
It is not clear to me, why your plastic surgeon has told you that staging reconsryction by putting expander and then replacing it with a permanent implant is not an option. 300 cc implant is approximately two cups ( B cup). If you are already B cup and want to have a size larger you should consider 400 cc implants. If these impalnts put your breast flaps under undue tension, the only logical option would be to put tissure expanders to prepare enough space to accomodate appropriate size implants.

Prophylactic mastectomy and implant sizing
There is no way that I or anyone else can provide you with accurate recommendations regarding implant size for your prophylactic mastectomy without first examining you. Photos can offer some information but not as regards implant size.
There also is no valid reason that I know of that would preclude your ability to have tissue expanders if so warranted. If you want to be somewhat larger than you are now, this would be a potential approach.
You should seek out 1 or more additional consultations with board certified plastic surgeons and then decide what you would like to do and with whom.

Breast implant size
300cc is equivalent to 10 ounces and 350 is about the same as a 12 ounce can of coke. Your Doctor can place different size implants under a sports bra to give you a better idea of what you might look like
Breast size after implant reconstruction
Because tissue is being removed and you are counting on the implant, and only the implant to give you volume, I would say that you would probably be no bigger than you are now with that size implant. It is possible that that is the largest implant your chest wall can accomodate at the present time. An expander can be used to stretch the skin and muscle over time in order to allow a larger implant to be placed during a second surgery. You might want to ask yoru plastic surgeon if you are a candidate for an expender in order to get you closer to the C cup you desire.
Cup size
Without seeing you it is hard to predict actual cup size as a 300cc implant will give a different cup size on about every patient. Any patient that could have an implant put in could also have an expander put in. I can not think of any reason that you couldn't.
The main question is the mount of the breast tissue to be removed.
The use of the expander is to stretch the pectoralis muscle . Your surgeon may have decided to use biological tissue to help to cover the implant and avoid the expansion(Alloderm). The final size of your breast will depend on the amount of tissue removed during the prophylactic mastectomy.Your surgeon can give better answer regarding the size.
Breast implant size v cup size
It is difficult to predict what cup size a particular implant size will translate to after surgery. It depend on many factors, including the amount of breast tissue the patient starts with and the overall body frame of the patient. It is hard to say whether a 350cc implant will look too small. If your desire is to bigger than your current breast size, then you may want to go with a larger implant. Make your wishes clearly known to your surgeon so that together you two can decide which size is best for you.
Breast implant size/cup size?
The more breast surgery I do the more I realize that there is no correlation between the size or model (profile) of implant used and resulting cup size. This may have to do with several factors including: the amount of breast volume the patient starts with, the shape of the patient's chest wall (concave or convex), the type and model of breast implant selected (saline/silicone and low/moderate/high profile), bra manufacturer variance in cup sizes, the degree of filling of the cup with breast tissue, and the subjective differences in patients perceptions of cup size.
Much of the final "look" achieved after breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors:
1. The initial shape, size (volume of breast tissue), symmetry of the patient's breasts. In general, the better the preoperative breast appearance the more likely the breast augmentation "look" will be optimal.
2. The experience/skill level of the surgeon is important in determining the final outcome. For example, the accurate and gentle dissection of the breast implant pockets are critical in producing long-term well-placed breast implants. I personally think that these 2 factors are more important than any others, including type (saline or silicone) or model (low/moderate/high profile) of implant.
3. The type of implant used may determine the final outcome, especially if the patient does not have significant covering breast or adipose tissue. For example, some surgeons feel that silicone implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants because silicone gel has a texture that is similar to breast tissue. Each patient differs in the amount of breast tissue that they have. If a patient has enough breast tissue to cover the implant, the final result will be similar when comparing saline implants versus silicone gel implants. If a patient has very low body fat and/or very little breast tissue, the silicone gel implants may provide a more "natural" result. On the other hand, saline implants have some advantages over silicone implants. Silicone implant ruptures are harder to detect. When saline implants rupture, they deflate and the results are seen almost immediately. When silicone implants rupture, the breast often looks and feels the same because the silicone gel may leak into surrounding areas of the breast without a visible difference. Patients may need an MRI to diagnose a silicone gel rupture. Saline implants are also less expensive than the silicone gel implants. Other differences involve how the breast implants are filled. Saline implants are filled after they're implanted, so saline implants require a smaller incision than prefilled silicone breast implants. On May 10, 2000, the FDA granted approval of saline-filled breast implants manufactured by Mentor Corporation and McGhan Medical. To date, all other manufacturers' saline-filled breast implants are considered investigational. As of 2006, the FDA has approved the use of silicone gel implants manufactured by the Mentor Corporation and Allergan (formerly McGhan) for breast augmentation surgery for patients over the age of 22.
4. The size and model of breast implant used may make a significant difference in the final outcome. Therefore, it is very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "C cup" or "fake looking" or "top heavy" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the breast implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison. I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible. By the way, the most common regret after this operation, is "I wish I was bigger".
I hope this helps.

free energy generator – easy to build
This easy to build free energy generator device is easy to replicate for just under 5$. How did I discover this device by accident? I was playing around with a dyi neodymium magnet motor and felt an "electric tickle", everytime the neodymium magnet got close to the coil. So I asked myself: can I power anything with it? I tried a LED and that burned up after a few seconds so I tried it with small 2 engines from an old walkman, connected together. This setup has been running for 2 weeks now and I still don't understand the working of it. I know that a perpetuum mobile would violate the first law of thermodynamics and/or the second law of thermodynamics so it has to gain it's energy from somewhere. Is it zero point? Could anyone please explain? I'm lost… This video was shot with my Samsung Galaxy Note in HD 1080p quality.
24 Responses to "free energy generator – easy to build"
dude you should wire it up to charge your phone or ipod
Nice man! You should build a bigger scaled one to support the use in you home
quite easy to explain…the magnet's field cause an electrical current to move through the coil,easy as that
the amount of energy used to induce the magnetism in the magnet when it was made will not be payed back in electrical gains by this device before the magnet is worn out, needing to be magnetized again. east as that.
My Uncle Burt and I used to do a lot of these kinds of projects.I can't exp[lain it but I know it is very real.
A static magnetic field causes moving electrons? You have no glue from simple physic, easy as that!
If it were easy as that, permanent magnets would be used as batteries.
Not sure how this works, but do you live near high power lines?
i assume you also know better,but since the question was asked in the first place,why not play with it?
or use it to charge a cell phone or camera or a GPS.
Have you tried it with a larger coil? More turns? If so how does this affect the voltage?
Very bright…pardon the pun. This is awesome work. Thank you for sharing your genius with us. Peace <3 Awake in Canada
A good scam, I know the trick
I just want to know where u have hidden the battery
there is so little energy its not even funny, whats your explanation then? magic? making energy from magnets?
easier explanation! its fake.
its 2 easy…… due to d force n attraction of magnets… d copper coil generated electric city..!! Study Phiysics…!! u may get in more deeep..!!
It would be cool if you would show or include in the description a diagram of the circuit. I would like to try this myself. Thanks
esta muy bien pero me pueds enviar el esquema a mi correo si no es mucha molestia gracias mi firstname.lastname@example.com
It'"s work because you hide the battery at the back. That is why there is a cut in the film at 01:08, aand that why the coil ends go through the brown cardboard and that you always tthe whole under an other cardboard, the white one, where is hidden the battery all the time you present the system from the top. for the sound, very easy to control on the vid to make it sound all the time, but I bet you would hardly present the system form the side running WITHOUT CUT
this is so fucking stupid…
if any of you want free energy that is real built and tested i build fuel less generators and tesla switches since 1981 …send me a email air2gas at yahoo.com
the pix is my daughter Lauren
Tell me, have you made a video response proof of showing how this is "fake"? If not, could you? and if no, why not?
Have you been able to increase power with more windings, larger magnet, and so on?

|Timing of bone marrow cell therapy is more important than repeated injections after myocardial infarction.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20667749 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|BACKGROUND: Bone marrow cell treatment has been proposed as a therapy for myocardial infarction, but the optimal timing and number of injections remain unknown.
METHODS: Myocardial infarction was induced in mice followed by ultrasound-guided injection of mouse bone marrow cells at different time points post myocardial infarction (Days 3, 7, and 14) as monotherapy and at Days 3+7 as "double" therapy and at Days 3+7+14 as "triple" therapy. Controls received saline injections at Day 3 and Days 3+7+14. Left ventricular ejection fraction was evaluated post myocardial infarction prior to any therapy and at Day 28. Hearts were analyzed at Day 28 for infarct size and survival of donor cells.
RESULTS: Left ventricular ejection fraction decreased from 55.3±0.9% to 37.6±0.6% (P<.001) 2 days post myocardial infarction in all groups. Injection of bone marrow cells at Day 3 post myocardial infarction resulted in smaller infarct size (17.8±3.6% vs. 36.6±7.1%; P=.05) and improved LV function (left ventricular ejection fraction 40.3±2.0% vs. 31.1±8.3%; P<.05) compared to control. However, delayed therapy at Day 7 or 14 did not. Multiple injections of bone marrow cells, either double therapy or triple therapy, did not result in reduction in infarct size, but led to improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction at Day 28 compared to control (39.9±3.6% and 38.8±5.5% vs. 34.8±5.3%; all P<.05). The number of donor cells surviving at Day 28 did not correlate with improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction.
CONCLUSIONS: Injection of bone marrow cells at Day 3 reduced infarct size and improved left ventricular function. Multiple injections of bone marrow cells had no additive effect. Delaying cell therapy post myocardial infarction resulted in no functional benefit at all. These results will help inform future clinical trials.

The forkball is a variation of the changeup. Forkballs very much mimic the splitter and are very rarely used by professional pitchers today. The movement is suited for advanced pitchers with a professional pedigree and it's hard to explain the actions on how to properly throw it for that reason.
The tuck action almost mimics the path of the circle change, but normally has a greater drop off of the table. The forkball can lead to mechanical problems because pitchers tend to snap it instead of simply letting it ride out without downward spin. It sounds counter intuitive, but the stale release is the action that causes it to drop off the table. Since the circle change is an easily repetitive pitch with a great decrease in arm related stress, the forkball has become outdated.

Hurvin Anderson
Tate Britain, London, UK
Hurvin Anderson's meditative suite of paintings, 'Peter's Series' (2007-09), teleports the viewer back to a poorly remembered 1950s Britain. Here, in the intimate surrounds of a sparse blue-hued attic room, newly arrived Caribbean immigrants too poor to rent commercial property have set up a barbershop in their own home. (A common practice among first-wave Afro-Caribbeans, according to Anderson.) The sketchiness of these renderings exudes existential uncertainty: walls, chairs and mirrors seem to melt continuously into the abstraction of anemic winter light. It's a vision of an awkwardly accommodated immigrant culture. Yet, if there's a sense of alienation here, it's also because Anderson's memories are not the vivid ones of a first generation migrant; born to Jamaican parents in Birmingham, England, Anderson follows what Paul Gilroy once called 'routes' (rather than 'roots') culture – a mapping of the paths that weave identity.
Each painting is rendered as a basic tricolour flag: earthy red carpet; blue walls; white ceiling. Mentally subtract the furnishings, and they become northern European seascapes, washed in the gentle tones of Peter Lanyon's St. Ives; mentally rebuild the walls, and you have the drab moodiness of Ivon Hitchen's London Group. Anderson achieves these retro-eggshell hues using a two-layer technique, a haze of white obscuring a base structure of vibrant geometrical form. 'Peter's Series' was made over a three-year period and it forms a record of Anderson's attempts to negotiate between abstraction and figuration. From the near-featurelessness of blue-and-white walls in Peter's III (2007), Anderson has slowly populated his images with furniture. In Peter's Sitters III (2009), in which a customer is depicted hunched in the barber's chair, Anderson achieves full figuration. The client's hair, however, lies scattered on the ground, melting into the painterly carpet as if the this fragile world is about to rebound back into hazy abstraction once more.
The first time I saw 'Peter's Series', I had a calypso song stuck in my head. It came from the Black Audio Film Collective's seminal Handsworth Songs (1986), also currently on view at Tate Britain though not part of the triennial. The song was 'London Is the Place For Me' (1948), by the brilliantly named Trinidadian singer Lord Kitchener, a ditty full of hope, if somewhat wince-inducing naivety. The reality, as those who were reduced to barbershops in attics experienced, was economic and social marginalisation. The immigrant's dream is as fragile as a wish: Kitchener's hopes of assimilation and the intimate pragmatics of making-do can be dashed by the harsh reality of racism, joblessness or police brutality. Anderson's acute formal powers, however, give this condition a sort of nobility. The lone figures in Peter's Back (2008), Peter's Sitters II and Peter's Sitters III (both 2009), look away demurely, displaying their napes to the barber. Yet, in looking away, these figures are also cryptograms. Anderson knows this room and these people – his father used to have is hair trimmed in similar digs – but the community of immigrants is a closed shop. Exile cannot be inherited. Sphinxes do not relinquish their secrets so easily.

Added by Sujit,
A brilliantly written and a very readable review. I was particularly happy to read Peter Lanyon's name. I became a huge fan of his abstract expressionist-like style of paintings which I saw in a gallery while living in London as a student in the nineteen sixties. His tragic death in an air crash (if I remember right) added to the mystique surrounding his work.

Gov. Chris Christie and his family appear in a TV spot for the state's 'Stronger than the Storm' campaign. / File photo
Read more about the contract at www.APP.com/STTS
TRENTON — Chris Christie says he had no role in the planning of last year�s $25 million �Stronger Than the Storm� advertising campaign, but a bidder says staff officials made it clear the Republican governor should star in the TV commercials.
At oral presentations for bidders on March 15, state officials �inquired if we would be open to featuring the governor in the ads,�� said Shannon Morris, president of Sigma Group of Oradell.
�They stated an interest. They asked us about using the governor,�� Morris told the Asbury Park Press, adding that officials �didn�t ask us about anybody else as a subject.��
MWW, the other candidate from two finalists, won the advertising contract with a pitch to state officials in a separate meeting that day to feature Christie, despite seeking $4.7 million in labor costs and markups, compared to the $2.5 million sought by runner-up Sigma.
Sigma made its proposal at 10 a.m. on March 15 and MWW presented its plan at noon. MWW received the highest marks from the six-member evaluation committee, including two perfect �10� scores.
The ads were funded by federal Sandy recovery money and ran during Christie�s reelection year.
When questioned about the campaign last summer, Christie said he had no input into the TV ad campaign.
�I certainly have no second thoughts about it,� Christie said in August. �I didn�t make the decision, but I certainly don�t second-guess the decision.�
The Office of the Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is auditing the contract, based on a request for review by Rep. Frank J. Pallone Jr., D-N.J. Pallone said he asked for the probe after reading the Press� investigation into the deal last August.
Christie�s spokesman said that the probe is part of the normal review process for federal contracts.
The Christie administration has failed to provide any notes or records produced from the oral presentations, despite several public records requests from the Press.
The state evaluation committee that picked MWW was comprised of administration officials and led by longtime Christie aide Michele A. Brown, who is CEO of the state Economic Development Authority. She once received a $46,000 loan from Christie when she worked for him in the U.S. Attorney�s office. Christie later recommended to the EDA board that Brown become its CEO. Christie also has veto power over the EDA�s actions.
It is unknown how Brown voted on the committee. The state has refused to release the name of the evaluator on each bid score sheet.
MWW spokesman Bill Murray in a statement Monday that MWW�s proposal �included no mention or suggestion of using the governor in the paid advertising campaign.�
But Shannon Eis, the company�s senior vice president, said in a May interview with the Press that MWW executives pitched using the governor in a starring role when they met with state officials on March 15. Eis in that interview said the company made it clear that Christie would have a prominent role.
�From the creative side we had to decide who is the strongest voice communicating that we�re back from the storm, and the governor has been that voice. We put out this very huge concept that included having the governor�s office involved loud and clear,� Eis said.
Neither Murray nor the EDA responded to requests for comment Tuesday. EDA officials have not responded to prior Press inquiries.
Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak said, �The selected bidder was simply the better company and won on the merits with a far more complete and ambitious plan. The Obama Administration issued a waiver to use a small amount of Sandy relief funding for a tourism campaign, which was by all accounts a success and helped salvage our summer nicely.��
Morris said she and colleagues had not considered putting Christie in the ads prior to their meeting with the state�s bidding evaluation committee.
�Our response was very neutral. We indicated that if we discussed it as a team, we would try to determine if we could make that campaign work. But we had other ideas for how we wanted to approach the campaign. Having the governor in the ads was something never brought up on our end,�� Morris said.
The government has not produced any records detailing if putting Christie in the ads was a determining factor in awarding the contract.
But Morris said, �What do you think?��

Web Browsers Security Test
Time for yet another web browsers security article. So there's a test called "Browser Security Test" which I found today and decided to run it on the latest stable web browsers releases. What about results?
Firefox 2.0.14 – All Passed
Firefox 3.0 – All Passed
Safari 3.1.2 – All Passed
Opera 9.27 – All Passed
Opera 9.50 – All Passed
Internet Explorer 7 – All Passed
As you can see, all browsers passed security tests (even IE7). So the question is: if you are testing for a failure and no one fails… Is this a major fail (useless test) or success?

July 3, 1863 - Gen. Lee decides to resume the attacks on both flanks. Of the 10 roads radiating from Gettysburg, the Union controls only two - the Taneytown Road and the Baltimore Pike. If the Confederates can take either road the Army of the Potomac will be in serious danger and Meade will have to retreat.
But the Yankees beat Lee to the punch, attacking at Culp's Hill near the pike, the only paved road in Union hands. Lee hears the roar of cannon, and knows he needs a new plan - an attack in the center.
Three divisions of the Army of Northern Virginia, more than 10,000 men, cross the open fields toward the copse of trees on Cemetery Ridge. Most senior officers are down by the time the column reaches the Emmitsburg Road, well within the easy killing range of the Union infantry.
A few Rebels break through, but are slaughtered on the open hillside. Federals on the flanks close in on the confused mass of Confederates, who fall back to Seminary Ridge. Pickett's Charge is over, though the fighting will go on several days.

Posted by Tom Fornelli
For as long as this college football fan can remember, the Big Ten has started its Saturdays in the fall at noon eastern. As a kid growing up in Chicago, this was a pretty sweet deal. I could sleep in a bit on Saturday mornings and when I woke up --BAM! -- college football. Honestly, that habit hasn't really changed much as I've grown older, but it sounds like I may have to watch the ACC and Big East for an hour before the Big Ten games begin. That's because, according to a report in the Quad City Times, Jim Delany is trying to make it so that the noon eastern start times are a thing of the past. Instead, he wants to push the start of Big Ten games back an hour.
Note: The times in the text quoted from the report are in central standard time.
Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany reportedly is lobbying hard in negotiations with the television networks to do away with them. If Delany has his way, all Big Ten games next season will start at either noon, 3:30 p.m. or 7 p.m.
Many fans objected to the 11 a.m. starts because they cut down on pregame tailgating time and made it difficult for fans who lived several hours away to get to games on time.
Won't somebody please think of the early morning drinkers!?
Seriously, though, it is pretty cool to think that Delany is actually listening to the fans who have been complaining about the lack of proper tailgating time. An extra hour of fun before kickoff doesn't hurt anybody except for those in charge of cleaning up afterward. The question is, just because Delany and the Big Ten want it, will the television networks?
While I'm sure Delany wouldn't have much trouble convincing the Big Ten Network to push back start times, it may not be as easy to do so with ESPN/ABC. ESPN has had games beginning a noon, 3:30pm and 8:00pm for some time now, and I'm not so sure they'll be willing to move everything around just to please the Big Ten. And let's be honest, it's the networks that televise the games who will be the ones deciding when those games start, not the fans attending them.

Raiders buck tradition by featuring throws to running backs
Steelers/NFL Videos
Throughout their history, the Oakland Raiders have been synonymous with throwing the ball vertically to fast receivers.
While the Raiders still like their "go" routes, they've been finding plenty of success lately throwing the ball to their running backs, especially the "Fast Screen Pass."
In two games, 22 of Carson Palmer's 56 completions have gone to running backs — 15 of which were caught by Darren McFadden.
The "Fast Screen Pass" may not be the Raiders' most popular play, but it has been one of their most successful.
Oakland ran the play only three times in two games, but it has proved to be hard to defend.
Oakland's first play of the season was a 9-yard gain on the screen. Last week, McFadden went for 13 yards on the play, and reserve Mike Goodson scored one of the Raiders' only two touchdowns of the season with a 64-yard "Fast Screen Pass" against Miami.
The Raiders typically like to call the play during early downs as a way to make third downs more manageable.
But as proof from last week with Goodson's touchdown, it could turn into a big play with minimal risk involved.
The Raiders typically employ two receivers, a tight end, a fullback and a tailback on the play.
Tight end Richard Gordon goes in motion from right to left, then back to the right before settling at the end of the line to show Palmer if the opposing defense is in man or zone coverage.
With the tackles set in two-point stances showing pass protection technique, at the snap, center Stefen Wisniewski blocks the nose, then slips out into the right flat along with right guard Mike Brisiel.
Unlike a typical "slow" screen when the tailback stays in the backfield, fakes pass protection and then slips out to be the receiver, the Raiders use an up-tempo version of that play.
Instead of faking pass protection, the tailback — either McFadden or Goodson — will sprint horizontally to the line of scrimmage at the snap of the ball and stop in between the numbers and the hash marks waiting for the quick pass from Palmer.
The pause by the running back waiting for the pass is brief.
The running back catches the ball and turns up field looking for his escort of Wisniewski and Brisiel.
The "fast" screen is designed to take advantage of linebackers playing zone coverage. The Raiders want to get the runner into open space quickly and before an inside linebacker can pursue to the sideline.
If the runner can get a downfield block or two by a wide receiver, the play could turn into a touchdown like it did against Miami.

|Buseoksa Temple (Seosan) (부석사 - 서산)
|VisitKorea does not guarantee the quality of products or services introduced on its site and is not responsible for any direct or indirect losses resulting from use of said products or services.
|Located in Mount Dobisan in Seosan, Chungcheongnam-do, Buseoksa Temple was built in the Silla Era. The temple, which is also known as Seosan Buseoksa, is not as well known as Yeongju Buseoksa Temple in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province because of its size and lack of extensive historical documentation. The temple was built by the Great Monk Uisang in 677, the 17th year of King Munmu of Silla, and was later rebuilt by Great Monk Muhak during the Joseon Dynasty.
The beautiful Geumdonggwaneumbosaljwasang, or seated gilt-bronze Buddha statue, which was housed in the Buseoksa Temple in 1330, is now located in a temple on Tsushima Island in Japan. The only remaining buildings of Buseoksa are the large Geungnakjeon Hall, Mongnyongjang (the monks' living quarters), Simgeomdang, and Anyangnu. Walking up from the main hall, visitors will find the Sansingak building, and a stone pagoda close to the entrance of the Mount Dobisan hiking trail. From the summit of Mount Dobisan, one can get an amazing view of the Seohae Sea beyond Ganwoldo and Anmyeondo islands, as well as Mount Gayasan. For this reason, the temple draws a large crowd of visitors despite its relatively small size.

BrightSource Bucks CSP Trends
The declining costs of solar photovoltaics (PV), and the surprising shift of the Solar Millennium 500-megawatt (MW) concentrated solar power (CSP) project in Blythe, California to a utility-scale solar PV project, prompted many analysts to declare that CSP was dead. An estimated 70% decline in solar PV prices, and an easier permitting regime due to solar PV's modularity, has contributed to the impression that CSP had missed its window of opportunity, and would be left behind.
However, it turns out that the CSP value proposition is being bolstered by some recent contract activity by BrightSource Energy, a firm whose unique "Power Tower" CSP technology and long line of investors and partners (including BP, Chevron, Google, Alstom and Bechtel) position it as the leading CSP player in the U.S. The company has one of the largest pipelines of utility-scale solar technology projects, and it recently announced a deal with Southern California Edison (SCE) to integrate thermal energy storage into existing power purchase agreements that will increase revenues from power sales by as much as three times due to the better match with peak power needs. A recent study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) found that when combined with thermal storage – currently the most cost-effective storage approach available – CSP offers a higher per kilowatt-hour (~1.6 cents) value over solar PV due to its capacity and reliability benefits. And while CSP and solar PV are typically viewed as adversaries, NREL also bolsters the argument that they can be complementary, with CSP helping to enable larger penetrations of solar PV into power grids.
The BrightSource CSP system uses a field of software-controlled mirrors called heliostats to reflect the sun's energy to a boiler that sits on top of a "Power Tower" to create high temperature, high pressure steam. The steam is then used to turn a highly efficient steam turbine to produce electricity. When storage is added, the steam is directed to a heat exchanger, where molten salts are further heated to a higher temperature, thus efficiently storing the heat energy for future use. Later, when the energy in storage is needed, the heat stored in the molten salts is used to generate steam to run the turbine.
Under the original power purchase agreements with SCE, BrightSource was to provide approximately four million megawatt-hours of electricity annually across seven CSP facilities. Due to higher efficiencies and capacity factors associated with thermal energy storage, the new set of agreements will provide approximately the same amount of energy annually but with one less 200 MW power plant in the mix, reducing the land impacts of delivering this energy and avoiding transactional costs that ultimately impact California's ratepayers.
The new set of contracts, pending approval by the California Public Utilities Commission, now consist of two BrightSource CSP plants scheduled to deliver electricity in 2015 and another three power plants with energy storage scheduled to deliver electricity in 2016 and 2017. In addition, BrightSource and its partners – NRG Energy, Google and Bechtel – are currently constructing a 126 MW facility for SCE at the Ivanpah solar project in southeast California.
As the recent Pike Research report, Concentrated Solar Power, notes, the CSP industry has hit a few bumps in the road, but BrightSource is clearly a firm whose projects are bucking industry trends in terms of cancellations and switch-overs to solar PV.

When I was a young whippersnapper, some folks probably thought of me as being a mite looney. I considered myself a dedicated Boy Scout, a woodsman, a student of wildlife and an animal lover.
Anyway, I was young, brave and inexperienced enough to enter the forests of Penna, armed with a forked stick cut from one of the many hardwoods, looking for rattlesnakes. When I came across one, I would listen for his rattle, pin his head to the ground with my stick and then reach down and pick him up by the head for display to my friends. Good sport, huh?
In my senior years, I've learned better. I can tell you with a great emphasis that I'm out of the snake-hunting business and that is why I have not volunteered to join the state of Florida's bounty hunt for Burmese pythons in the Everglades. This wiser old-timer is not the slightest interested in trying to make big bucks hunting pythons. You could not get me to enter wetlands in Florida looking for any kind of critters, let alone a python. It matters not that pythons are non-venomous. I don't want to be squeezed to death unless by a loved one.
Folks are coming from all over the U.S. by the thousands to comb the Everglades to meet Florida's python challenge. The snakes have become a menace to native wildlife and have to be eliminated.
My youthful snake hunts have cured me of ever hunting snakes again. As far as I am concerned -- and naturalists would not agree with me -- the only good snake is a dead one. Oh, I know they are an important part of the ecosystem, but they give me the creeps because I have come across so many in the wild and have so far escaped harm.
The rattle of a rattlesnake chanced upon can cause terror and panic. A bite might be fatal. My scout leaders taught me to be careful, be calm, call for help, wear high boots, carry a snakebite kit and do not self-medicate. Back in my hunting days, I was taught to apply a tourniquet, cut an X over the bite and suck out the venom. Today it is suggested not to incise the bitten site. Wash it with soap and water if you have any out there in the woods. Applying a tight ligature may prove dangerous. Before going rattlesnake hunting it is suggested the hunter update himself on the latest treatments. What we were told to do in the old days may no longer apply.
So, I'm content to sit here in my easy chair and watch from a distance as that armed crowd of python hunters searches the Everglades trying to flush out their prey. We hope no one gets bitten, squeezed to death, shot, injured or insect-bitten while spooking the Burmese invaders. I am so glad I'm too old to remember where I disposed of that forked stick I cut and shaped so many years ago.
