|PMID: 17398185 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The usefulness of 64-slice multidetector coronary computed tomography (MDCT) in a diagnostic triage of 100 consecutive patients (age 55.8+/-11.6 years; 57% men) with chest pain suspected to be ischemic in origin and a negative or nondiagnostic exercise treadmill test (ETT) result was examined. None of the patients had previously known coronary artery disease (CAD). MDCT showed obstructive (>or=50%) CAD in 29 patients; 13 of 59 patients (22%) with a negative and 16 of 41 patients (39%) with a nondiagnostic ETT result. High-risk (left main and/or 3-vessel) CAD was present in 3.3% of patients with a negative and 4.9% with a nondiagnostic ETT result. The 29 patients with obstructive CAD on MDCT had a higher mean Agatston calcium score (221+/-402 vs 40+/-77 U, p<0.001). Invasive coronary angiography confirmed MDCT findings in 26 of 29 patients (positive predictive value 90%) and 45 of 54 stenotic segments (83%) in a per-segment analysis. For the 71 patients without obstructive CAD on MDCT, clinically driven invasive angiography detected CAD in 1 of 15 patients (1 false-negative MDCT result) and 2 of another 5 patients who were referred for invasive angiography later during a 12-month follow-up period. In the remaining 51 patients, MDCT findings effectively allowed exclusion of obstructive CAD, and there were no major adverse clinical events during follow-up. In conclusion, in patients with chest pain possibly ischemic in origin, no previously known CAD, and a negative or nondiagnostic ETT result, contrast-enhanced 64-slice MDCT scanning was a useful tool to provide direct noninvasive coronary angiography and rapidly advance diagnostic triage.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are continuing their holiday in the Caribbean with children Moses and Apple following the news of their separation and have reportedly jetted to the island owned by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw for some extra privacy.
The couple confirmed last week their 11 year marriage was over in a statement on Platrow's Goop website. Hoping to avoid the ensuing media onslaught, they took their children off on holiday before the news broke and have since been sunning themselves in the Bahamas.

According to eye-witnesses, they headed to the private island on Sunday and appeared pretty happy despite the raging interest in their break up. A source told the MailOnline: ''They looked happy and calm. Chris was wearing a hat and Gwyneth was casual in a white t-shirt... they drove right up to their private jet with the kids in tow.''
The Country and Western lovebirds have reportedly offered their island home to the couple (WENN)
The couple are said to have headed to the private hideaway of Goat Cay, a 17-acre private island, on Sunday morning. Chris was spotted behind the wheel of a Red Ford Explorer heading to the Bahaman Governor's Harbor Airport, before boarding a private plane to the island.

Gwyneth and Chris are known to be close to Faith and her husband Tim after the actress co-starred with McGraw in the 2011 movie Country Song, in which they played man and wife. The country and Western couple purchased the island in 2008, the MailOnline reports, which feautres a luxury four bedroom 15,000 ft house where the couple are likely to be staying.

The tropical paradise is just one of 365 islands which make up the Exuma archipelago. Johnny Depp and Tyler Perry are just some of the stars who own neighbouring islands, which cost around $30 million each.
Previously they were staying on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas at a luxury $10,500 per week mansion. Eye-witnesses claimed the couple appeared relaxed during their visit and showed no signs of stress from the break-up.
"Chris was making Gwyneth laugh until she had to wipe tears from her eyes," an eye-witness who saw the couple dining out with friends claimed. "You wouldn't believe they were divorcing. They were deep in conversation and looked really happy together."

|Pre- and postoperative self-reported cognitive effectiveness and worry in patients with suspected lung malignancy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23615147 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Purpose/Objectives: To examine perceived cognitive effectiveness and worry in individuals with suspected lung cancer before and after surgical resection and to determine any differences between individuals with and without a postoperative diagnosis of lung cancer.Design: A repeated measures longitudinal design.Setting: A comprehensive cancer center and a Veterans Administration medical center in the midwestern United States.Sample: 15 men and 8 women aged 37-82 years (X = 61.4, SD = 10.7) with suspected lung cancer.Methods: Descriptive statistics were used to characterize data. Paired t tests and nonparametric correlation analysis were used to determine relationships among the main study variables.Main Research Variables: Perceived effectiveness in cognitive function as well as general and cancer-specific worry.Findings: Patients diagnosed with lung cancer were significantly older. Patients self-reported lowered perceived effectiveness in daily activities that require directed attention both pre- and postoperatively. Patients with nonmalignant postoperative reports had higher general worry at each time point, which was significant following surgery.Conclusions: A diagnosis of suspected lung cancer may contribute to compromised perceived effectiveness in cognitive function. Nonmalignant pathology following a diagnosis of suspected lung cancer may be associated with continued worry.Implications for Nursing: Nursing assessment and interventions aimed at supporting effective cognitive function and modifying worry for patients with suspected lung cancer are essential to optimize adjustment.Knowledge Translation: Suspected lung cancer imposes high demands on cognitive and emotional function. Oncology nurses are in key positions to support patients during and following the diagnostic workup for lung cancer. Younger patients with nonmalignant postoperative reports may need continued follow-up.

Animal Haven Shelter in Soho, NYC for the past 8 months (much longer than any other dog) and for no good reason!
Everyone at the Shelter agrees that Cha Cha is a great dog who will make an amazing pet. It is hard to say what breeds Cha Cha may have in her DNA, but the shelter staff think she might be part boxer or mastiff. She is a big bundle of joy who has had trouble finding a home in New York City due to her size.

GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) - An autographed baseball glove that Lou Gehrig gave to a Connecticut man when he was a boy has sold for $287,500.
Officials with Hunt Auctions said the glove sold Tuesday at auction in Minneapolis. They didn't disclose the name of the buyer.
Howard Henderson, a 92-year-old Greenwich (GREN'-ich) resident, says the New York Yankees slugger gave him the glove in the mid-1930s. It's signed: "To Howard. I hope you have much luck with this glove as I did. Lou Gehrig."
Gehrig and his wife were friends with Henderson's father, Ray, a songwriter. Gehrig visited the family's Bronxville, New York, home.

Counting down free agents who make sense for the Stars: No. 8 Jason Garrison
NHL free agency begins Sunday, July 1, and the Stars are expected to be in a lot of discussions. Can they lure a player to a rebuilding team that's missed the playoffs for four straight seasons? And which players should they target. Staff Writer Mike Heika takes a look at 10 names to watch.
We continue with a power play helper.
Name: Jason Garrison
Team: Florida Panthers
Position: Defenseman
The lowdown: Garrison is an interesting player, because he's a late bloomer coming off of one good season, and that means you really don't want to lock him up to a long-term deal and then end up regretting it. But with Dennis Wideman getting $5.25 million a year for 5 years from Calgary, the price is high for defensemen right now. On the positive side, Garrison is big (6-2, 220) and has a huge shot. He was third among defensemen in goal scoring last season at 16. He would be a big help to the power play even with a left-handed shot. He also is a decent defender, averaging 23:41 a game last season and posting a plus-6 on a team full of minuses in Florida. On the down side, he does not have a reputation for playing physically, and might not be able to consistently carry big minutes against the best players in the NHL. Still, I really think the Stars would be interested if they can get him at a reasonable rate. But the guess here is that $5.25 million a season for five years is not the rate they are looking for.

SACRAMENTO — California would become the fifth state to allow judges to declare a child has more than two legal parents under legislation that passed the Assembly on Tuesday and is bound for the governor's office.
The bill from Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, says a judge could legally recognize additional parents if failure to do so would be detrimental to the child.
Current state law allows courts to acknowledge only two people as parents. Supporters say the statute does not give judges any leeway to exercise their own judgment based on a child's situation.
Leno's bill was prompted by a 2011 court case involving a California girl whose legal parent could not care for her and whose biological father was deemed not a parent. In that case, the girl ended up in state custody because her birth mother became incarcerated and her other legal parent was hospitalized.
"This authorization would be used only rarely, and not when children are blessed with too many parents, but too few," said Assemblyman Mark Stone, D-Scotts Valley.

|Mechanical behaviour modelling of balloon-expandable stents.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10940405 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Endoprostheses are small struts placed by intravascular way to restore the vascular lumen and flow conditions. The purpose of this work is to provide models for evaluation and characterisation of some mechanical properties of a balloon-expandable stent by using the finite element method. Here we present the results for a metallic tubular peripheral prosthesis: the P308 Palmaz stent. We focus on the mechanisms linked to the structure expansion and its long-term behaviour. Several models are constructed in order to determine the stent shape after dilation and to assess the stress and strain fields in its wall due to this transformation. They inform us about the shortening percentage on expansion, degrees of radial and longitudinal recoil, and weaknesses of the structure. Various methods, differing in their levels of complexity, are then attempted to exhibit the predominant factors responsible for the crushing of a stent under external pressure. Moreover, the sensitivity of this critical pressure to geometric imperfections is studied. Lastly, since this kind of material is implanted for a lifetime, we test the stent with regard to fatigue life. Beyond safety considerations, this type of characterisation provides mechanical properties that are often difficult to obtain by experiments. If it was available for various stents, such information could be used to choose the appropriate prosthesis for specific applications. Moreover, confronted with observations from practitioners, they might lead to a better understanding of the failure or success of a particular design and to work on the product optimisation.

Israel sorry for 'diplomatic dwarf' jibeComment on this story
Brasilia- Israeli President Reuven Rivlin apologised on Monday to his Brazilian counterpart for a remark by a foreign ministry spokesman calling the Latin American powerhouse a "diplomatic dwarf."
The comment in July was made by spokesman Yigal Palmor after Brazil criticised Israel's military campaign in Gaza as excessive and recalled its envoy in Tel Aviv.
In a phone call on Monday, Rivlin assured Brazil President Dilma Rousseff that Palmor's comments "do not correspond to the sentiments of the population" of Israel, Rousseff's office said in a statement.
Rousseff had criticised Palmor's remarks, saying "Words, including the spokesman's, sometimes create a very bad climate. In this case, we have to be very careful."
In the phone call, her office said, Rousseff "condemned the attacks on Israel" by Hamas, and "reiterated Brazil's historic position ... defending the co-existence between Israel and Palestine as sovereign, economically viable and, above all, safe states."
Israel and Hamas Monday started a new 72-hour ceasefire, as negotiators in Egypt worked to seek a permanent end to hostilities.
Rousseff "expressed hope for the continuation of the ceasefire and the current negotiations," the statement said.
More than a month of bloody fighting in and around Gaza has killed at least 1 940 Palestinians and 67 people on the Israeli side, most of them soldiers. - Sapa-AFP

Raspberry Pi GPU driver open-sourcedForum members pakt and Dougal have been very excited to inform us about this:
Yes, this looks like a game-changer.
Heh, heh, I see from the comments in the above link, there is some criticism regarding just how much is open source and what is still hidden as a firmware/binary blob.
It will be very exciting when a hardware-accelerated X.org driver emerges for that GPU.
I will dust off my RP, but for now have a few things to do with Woof -- work is needed on MoManager and the PPM.

in reading comments on this topic (RPi and OS) i've found this project:

Probably, the one factor that makes support for the RPi project is that the Farnell/element14 operation is run as a charity, like the OLPC, aims to reintroduce real programming skills to the education system and has aspirations to extend to buy-one-gift-one (and other?) beneficent schemes.
Linux developers already provide their talents gratis so this makes their generosity even more worthwhile.
There will be technical and logistical limitations and issues along the way, but there isn't a gargantuan multi-national syphoning off resources at the end of the rainbow!

In the coming months, a federal judge is expected to rule in a case brought by the biggest pharmaceutical and biotech companies attacking a Federal Trade Commission rule implemented late last year that will subject many more drug patent transfers to antitrust review.
In November, the FTC required that transfers of exclusive rights to pharmaceutical patents be reported to the FTC and the Department of Justice under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, even if the original developer retained manufacturing rights. Previously, the FTC allowed patent-licensing deals in all industries to avoid antitrust review if the patent holder retained the right to manufacture. The FTC, in consultation with the DOJ, proposed in August 2012 to change that policy, but only for pharmaceutical licenses.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America sued the FTC in December, arguing that the FTC had no authority to single out an industry for extra antitrust burdens. The rule "is both contrary to the plain language of the [HSR] statute and unsupported by record or fact," the group said in its lawsuit. PhRMA, as the group is known, numbers among its members some of the biggest drug makers, including Abbvie Inc., Amgen Inc., AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, Bayer HealthCare LLC, Biogen Idec Inc., Merck & Co., Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., and Sanofi. PhRMA based its lawsuit on two arguments.
First, PhRMA said, the HSR Act does not permit the commission to expand "the scope or coverage of the act to a specific industry or set of industries." PhRMA noted that in 1976 when HSR was being drafted, House negotiators rejected a Senate provision that would have granted to the FTC power to impose greater notification requirements on particular industries. Congress "specifically refused to grant the commission the authority to do what the commission has purported to do here," PhRMA wrote.
Second, the FTC offered no evidence that pharmaceutical patent deals were more likely to pose competition problems than those in other industries. "The commission provided no reasoned, data-driven basis for treating the pharmaceutical industry differently," PhRMA said. The group said that the FTC's assertion that drug developers are more likely to engage in the type of exclusive patent right transfers targeted by the rule than companies in other industries is based on the anecdotal conclusions of the FTC and not on empirical evidence. PhRMA cited a study submitted to the commission during the rule-writing process indicating that "these types of licenses are, in fact, common in the technology industry and many other industries."
The FTC has allowed patent-licensing deals to avoid antitrust review if the patent holder retains manufacturing rights after granting another company the exclusive right to sell the patented product. The FTC reasoned that most exclusive licensing deals, if they don't transfer the right to manufacture, are simply distribution agreements and not asset acquisitions that warrant antitrust review.
But in the pharmaceutical industry, the FTC decided that exclusive licenses present unique competition issues. Because many drug developers are small startups, they don't have the financial resources to carry their discoveries through the Food and Drug Administration approval process or to effectively promote the drugs when they are allowed on the market. To bring a drug to market, developers often enter exclusive licensing agreements with bigger pharmaceutical companies that can cover the costs of approval and marketing. But the bigger drug companies also will often demand royalty agreements that allow them to retain as much of the drug profits as possible. Because the patent holders essentially become captive manufacturers for the larger companies, these types of drug-licensing deals are "substantively the same as giving the licensee the exclusive right to manufacture, use and sell the product," the FTC said when it proposed the pharma licensing rules.
Antitrust attorneys specializing in pharma deals said the FTC has long been concerned that too many licensing deals have been escaping antitrust review and that the exemption for deals in which manufacturing rights were retained was a loophole that had been exploited.
The FTC has denied the PhRMA lawsuit's allegations. A lengthier defense is expected on March 10 when it replies to the group's motion for summary judgment.
PhRMA is being represented by Baker Botts LLP partners Joseph Ostoyich and James Rill, senior counsel William Bradford Reynolds and associate Emma Burnham. The FTC's legal team is led by general counsel Jonathan Neuchterlein, deputy general counsel for litigation John Daly and attorney Michele Arington.
The FTC has estimated that the proposed change would subject an additional 30 drug-licensing transactions to antitrust review each year. The agency, though, insisted that would be an increase of only 2% over the 1,500 deals antitrust regulators review on average each year. Antitrust experts said the 2% figure plays down the burden that would be imposed on the pharmaceutical industry.
Jon Dubrow, a partner in the antitrust and competition practice group at McDermott Will & Emery LLP, has noted that FTC statistics show only 75 chemical and pharmaceutical transactions were reviewed by the FTC and the DOJ in 2011, and 48 in 2010, so an additional 30 would actually be a significant increase.
Dubrow said the core issue in the case will likely be PhRMA's claim that the FTC's policy is discriminatory because it singles out pharmaceutical license deals for extra disclosure burdens. "Normally federal agencies get substantial deference in promulgating rules related to the statutes they implement," Dubrow said. "But PhRMA's position is that the FTC has gone several steps beyond what the statute allows for and it's not just a matter of interpreting the statute. If the judge follows that line of logic, I don't think she will give substantial deference to the agency."
How Judge Beryl A. Howell views the deference issue may turn on how far-reaching she believes is the FTC's power to take "necessary and appropriate" steps to enforce the HSR statute. Said Dubrow: "I expect the FTC will rely heavily on an argument that this was a 'necessary and appropriate' step' to protect competition."

Two Women Turn The Tables On Sexist Fashion Ads
Now, The Huffington Post reports that writers Holly Eagleson and Lauren Wade are throwing a light (or, some shade) on this routine objectification by re-making offensive fashion ads with male models in place of women. They took special aim at Terry Richardson's most notorious campaigns, and the charming American Apparel seen here.

Aggregate Types and Equations
What types of aggregates do you handle?
We handle all purpose sand, a-gravel, driveway stone, 3/4 crushed (drainage gravel), chips and dust (patio base), pea stone, large riverstone 2-4" and small riverstone 1-2", bedding sand (for use under interlocking pavers, flagstone and patio stones) and field stone 6-10".
How are aggregates sold?
Most aggregates are sold by the 40 lb. bag or bulk by the yard.
How much do aggregates weigh?
Gravel is the heaviest around 2860 lbs. per cubic yard. All the other aggregates are around 2600 pounds per cubic yard.
What is the volume of a 40 lb. bag of aggregates?
The volume in a 40 lb. bag will vary somewhat, but will generally be around 11 to 12 litres per bag (28.33 litres = 1 cubic foot).

Yes, all aggregates can be delivered with our small, 5 yard trucks or our larger 20 yard trucks and combined with any one other bulk material order up to a maximum of 20 yards for $80.00 per delivery in London and surrounding area.
How many yards do I need?
Multiply length in feet, times width in feet, to get the number of square feet. Divide the square feet by 27 and the answer by 12 times the number of inches of product you want to use.

Steelers notebook: LB Harrison doesn't practice; Mundy fined $21K
Steelers/NFL Videos
Pro Bowl linebacker James Harrison still hasn't practiced on consecutive days since undergoing knee surgery in mid-August, a sign his return isn't imminent following the bye week.
Whenever he has exerted the knee, it fails to respond the following day. It's obvious the defense misses Harrison, who was optimistic Wednesday the knee might be improving after he went through a full practice the day before.
Safety Ryan Clark said the Steelers' defense is allowing too many big plays, such as Darren McFadden's 64-yard touchdown run Sunday.
"No one stepped up to make a big play to stop them from happening," Clark said.
Mundy fined $21K
Safety Ryan Mundy was fined $21,000 for his helmet-to-head hit that left Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey unconscious for several minutes Sunday in Oakland.
Heyward-Bey spent the night in a hospital with a concussion and a strained neck.
Mundy's fine came one week after linebacker Lawrence Timmons was fined $21,000 for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. Mundy is expected to appeal. He was not suspended.
Good time for bye
Eight possessions, eight scores. That's what the Broncos and Raiders accomplished against the Steelers in the second half, except for one meaningless kneel-down possession at the end of Denver's 31-19 win Sept. 9.
The inability to get off the field perplexes linebacker Larry Foote, who calls the defensive signals.
"I wouldn't have thought this would be a good week for a bye week," Foote said, "but it'll be good for the guys to get away and look at themselves."
Grateful for regular refs
Many Steelers are hopeful the NFL's regular officials will be on the field when they play again Oct. 7 against Philadelphia.
"No matter what we think about the replacement officials, the other officials aren't perfect, either," Clark said. "But we'll be excited to get them back and get the guys who have been doing it for years out there again."
Left guard Willie Colon said the players previously gave the officials "a lot of (heat) because we always thought they were bad refs, but to see what bad really looks like, we're appreciative of them."
Give him a hand
If it appears Ben Roethlisberger is using more hand signals, a la Peyton Manning, it's because he is.
The signals are part of Todd Haley's offense, and Roethlisberger thinks the offense adjusted to them quickly.
"Not only did we have to learn new words (for the plays), but we had to learn new hand signals," he said. "So that's been tricky, but I think we've done a good job. And I think you have to give credit to the wide receivers because they're the ones who have had to learn the most."
Odds and ends
This is the first time since Week 6 in 2000 that the Steelers, Patriots, Saints and Packers are sub-.500 at the same time. … Despite their second-half failures in Denver and Oakland, the Steelers are second overall in AFC total defense. … Offensively, they are an NFL best in fourth-down conversions (3 of 4) but are last in the AFC on first downs (4.09 yards per play). … Mike Wallace leads the AFC in third-down receiving with seven catches for 121 yards. … No Steeler is in the top 25 in sacks. ... Roethlisberger had more than 300 yards passing and four touchdown passes in the same game Sunday for the first time in 117 career games. ... The Steelers have started 1-3 only three times in the past 21 seasons (2000, '02, '06). Since the 1970 NFL merger, they have been 1-3 eight times.

Rawson Ames is not so sure what to think of the Harvest Festival parade clown.
As the NoCo50 Challenge has progressed, Sadie and I have become relative experts in attending festivals and events. We know what to expect. Vendors will sell merchandise ranging from arts and crafts to high-end furniture and electronics. There will be food vendors, thank goodness, because calories consumed at fairs and festivals do not count.
There will be live music, games for the kids and beer - generally served in a garden. There will be pop-up tents aplenty with all manner of treasure underneath. If you play your cards right, you may get a chiropractor to check the alignment of your spine for free. Will the wonders never cease?
Some fairs and festivals have carnivals with rides our personal constitutions can no longer handle. Other fairs and festivals will have a parade; the really good parades will allow you to throw candy. All involved can eat candy; it's a fair and festival requirement.
Northern Colorado has some great fairs and festivals. We have attended Taste of Fort Collins, the Colorado Brewers' Festival, NewWestFest, Loveland Loves BBQ, Bands and Brews, Larimer County Fair, Greeley Stampede, Cinco de Mayo and others too numerous to list. When it comes to vendors, we have bought it, drank it, ate it from a stick and in some cases regretted it. We even have friends at the curly fry booth. You may call me Dr. Turkey Leg.
So when we were assigned NoCo50 Challenge No. 34, attend the Windsor Harvest Festival, we must admit to a somewhat passe attitude. Another festival? At least we can see our curly fry friends.
Thankfully, something special happened at the Windsor Harvest Festival.
The Windsor Harvest Festival is in its 91st year. Traditionally held Labor Day weekend, music, food and a parade are integral parts of this event. Add in a Lions Club pancake breakfast, mud volleyball, town barbecue and a fireworks show and you have the quintessential small town celebration.
In recent years, a hot air balloon launch has been added to the fun. This year, I was invited for a ride. I was scheduled to go up Saturday with capable pilot Tammy Foley. Unfortunately, the wind had something to say about my trip and I wound up grounded. Thankfully, the balloons were able to launch Sunday, providing for fantastic views from above and below.
Casey Johnson is a good guy. I am 6-foot, 4-inches tall and he towers over me. So his stature is imposing, but his demeanor is as kind and gentle as they come. Casey works in information technology for the Poudre School District by day and by night has served as the chairman of the Windsor Harvest Festival and been involved in the festival for 18 years.
I admired the time commitment and asked how much the event had changed during his tenure.
"Immensely," Casey blurted. "One thousand percent. Eighteen years ago the festival was a basic Labor Day parade containing 20 to 30 entries. In Main Park, we had no more than 30 vendor booths and a few little kiddie rides. That was about it."
Casey said this year the event had 175 vendor booths, a sellout, 95 parade entries and entertainment all weekend long.
As we conversed, there were thousands of people laughing, smiling and enjoying one another's company.
That's when the aforementioned revelation began.
The Windsor Harvest Festival, and every other fair and festival we have attended, is less about the vendors, curly fries and free spine alignments and more about the people. While all of NoCo has watched Windsor rapidly grow, it is still just a small town. I quickly realized that small towns throw festivals as a good excuse to get together with their neighbors.
Steve Havens is the front man for Steve Havens and the Mad Cow Posse, one of Northern Colorado's most popular country bands. If you have attended a small town festival, chances are you have seen one of Steve's shows.
"We play Platteville Days, Eaton Days, Berthoud Days, Ault Fall Festival, Burlington's annual celebration and LaSalle Days, just to name a few," Havens said. Steve and the Mad Cow Posse was the featured band at the Windsor Harvest Festival on Saturday night.
"If I could do nothing but play the small town fairs and festivals, I would," Havens continued. "Windsor was huge. I bet there were 3,000 people in the park for the show. Eaton had a huge crowd. Platteville was packed. They are all such a small-town affair." Havens said it is not unusual for people to come from miles around just to get together, listen to music and celebrate with friends.
"I just love to see parents dancing with their kids. You'll see entire families dancing together."
I am from LaSalle and Sadie's from Wellington. We are small-town kids at heart, which is why there is something about the Windsor Harvest Festival that made our hearts leap. Small-town people coming together for small-town fun can never be passe.
I asked Casey how many hours he personally put into the event.
"I honestly could not quantify it," Johnson said. "A lot! We start meeting regularly in February and will wrap things up about three weeks after the festival's completion."
So why do Casey and volunteers like him invest so much of their lives to put on a party?
"I have fun with it," Johnson said. "Windsor is my hometown and this is just a lot of fun. There is a lot of good, positive interaction with people. It's just a good community event."
I will agree with Casey, wtih the addendum that it is the people who make an event good. NoCo is filled with good people, so good fairs and festivals are just an enjoyable byproduct.

NPC Jungle Beat Gets Euro Date
Posted by Jon Wahlgren
Get ready to not-bongo on June 5th
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat came with bongos on GameCube. Which, at the time, could have been considered "new" play control. Wouldn't putting the game out sans-bongos be like it going back to "old" play control?
Regardless of your definition, New Play Control! Jungle Beat hits Europe on June 5th with two new stages, new enemies and new weapons. It's new!
US gamers got it yesterday, and if you missed it the first time around like I did, well hey, you won't exactly be missing the bongos.

For a positive integer k and a graph G, the k-colour graph of G is the graph that has the proper k-vertex-colourings of G as its vertex set, and two k-colourings are joined by an edge in the k-colour graph if they differ in colour on just one vertex of G. In this note some results on the connectivity of the k-colour graph are proved. In particular it is shown that if G has chromatic number k=2 or 3, then the k-colour graph is not connected. On the other hand, for k>3 there are graphs with chromatic number k for which the k-colour graph is not connected, and there are k-chromatic graphs for which the k-colour graph is connected.

For five innings, Alamogordo (7-12, 1-4) was in complete control. Senior righthander Logan Meier had given up no runs on two hits and two walks as the Tigers held a 3-0 lead over the Trojans.
But as has been the case for many Alamogordo games this season, the final two innings were a different story for the Tigers. Mayfield (10-9, 3-2) scored seven runs over that span to run away with a 7-3 victory over its district rivals, an unraveling that Tigers Head Coach Randy McCloud credits to his team's inexperience in dealing with pressure situations.
"We haven't got that maturity yet," McCloud said. "Ultimately, we're a better ballclub than they are. We're a better ballplayer than (Las) Cruces, we're a better ballclub than Onate. But they have that killer instinct, and we just haven't got it yet."
Alamogordo struck first in the third inning when junior leftfielder John Matzke led off with a bunt single. Two batters later, junior second baseman Caleb Agnew hit an infield dribbler that brought Matzke in to score on a close play at the plate.
The play resulted in a 1-0 Tiger lead but also left Matzke injured, as the junior had to be helped off the field with an ankle injury.
"After the Matzke thing, the kids took it kind of hard that he got hurt," McCloud said, adding that he does not yet know the severity of Matzke's injury.
Even with two more runs in the fourth via RBIs by sophomore third baseman Daniel Weipert and junior DH Alfonso Cadena, the Tigers couldn't keep their lead -- or their focus -- for rest of the ballgame.
Mayfield's big inning came in the sixth, when the Trojans finally got to Meier with four runs to go ahead. Two of those runs came on a two-strike, two-out, bases-loaded single by Mayfield senior catcher Steven Mansanarez.
The Trojans then tacked on three more runs in the seventh, while the Tigers were unable to do anything in their final two offensive innings. Alamogordo recorded five strikeouts in its final six at-bats.
"We haven't figured out how to handle adversity yet," first-year Assistant Coach Jake Wells said. "As much as this program's been given over the years, from what I've heard, we haven't embraced the way to pick ourselves up off the ground yet."
Both Tiger coaches also noted that once the team got down, Alamogordo hitters changed their approach in the box.
"We're going up there at the beginning of the game with a plan --we're putting balls in motion, we're putting runners in motion, we're scoring," McCloud said. "Then all of a sudden we get to the later innings and we forget our game plan."
In order to start coming out on top in close contests, the Tigers must trust in their game plan and come to play for a full seven innings -- not just four or five, as they have had a tendency to do this season.
"Since the Carlsbad game, we've played a lot better -- we just have nothing to show for it, because we don't finish games," Wells said. "We've got to figure out a way to keep our focus for more than just an hour. If we played three inning (games), I think we'd be 17-2 right now."
Alamogordo's next contest, Saturday at Onate, is another district showdown.
"We've just got to figure it out before we get too deep into district," McCloud said. "We're 1-4 now in district, but we should be 4-1. We've been in every ballgame, right to the end, and it seems like the sixth and seventh gets us every time."

I hope everyone had a great new year. Sorry I've taken so much time off from blogging. I was pretty busy last week just getting caught up on e-mail. For those of you who posted comments, or sent comments to me directly, I'll try to get to them all (sorry it's taking so long). Last month was such a busy month with all the traveling for our work in Ecma and family time for the holidays that I quickly fell behind. Beta 1 of Office has been out for a couple months now, and I haven't posted much content to help people use some of the new XML functionality in Office 12. Today, I want to post an example Word document that leverages the new storage we provide for custom XML and the integration of that XML store with a new feature called content controls. Anyone who has Beta 1 should be able to try this out.
There were are large number of scenarios we looked at when we first started our move towards strong custom XML support back towards the end of Office XP. Some of them were around making document generation much easier and more reliable. Other scenarios were around making the Office documents integrate in richer ways with business processes. There were a number of different exciting scenarios here, but this first example I'm going to show is really more around document generation. We often see people use the mail merge functionality in Word for more than just creating letters. It allows you to import data to create a document driven by that data. We've also seen people do this in Word 2003 using the XML file format in combination with XSLTs. We had been a bit naive in thinking that there would be a lot of folks out there building XSLTs for transforming their data into a rich Word document. There are plenty of people willing to do this, but it's a lot of work, and often too advanced for the majority of people trying to build a solution.
I have an example I've demo'd at a number of conferences that I wanted everyone to get a chance to play around with. If you grab this ZIP file: http://jonesxml.com/resources/xmlMapping1.zip you'll see a Word document and an XML file called "item1.xml". Go ahead and open the Word document in Beta 1 and take a look. I have a couple things I'd like you to try:
This is new functionality that leverages a couple new features. Content controls, the custom XML store, and the ability to map the content controls to nodes in the custom XML store all combined to give you this powerful data view separation.
Even without the XML mapping, the new set of features in Word called content controls make it much easier to structure a rich Word solution. Go ahead and open the original document you'd downloaded again. Notice that in the 2nd paragraph, you can only edit within specific regions. In that 2nd paragraph, there are a number of "content controls", and then the entire paragraph has been "grouped". By grouping the 2nd paragraph when I created the document, I made it so that the look and boilerplate text couldn't be changed, and instead only the content of the controls could be edited. Some of the controls are just plain text, but notice that there are other types of controls as well. The date for example, has a calendar control that will drop down:
There are a number of available content controls:
These new controls, and the new "grouping" functionality make it really easy to design a template where you have some structured islands of information you want the user to fill out. Each control has it's own independent settings as to whether it's editable and whether or not it can be deleted. You can also specify placeholder text to be displayed when the contents of the control is empty.
If you are building a solution, the controls are also really helpful because they can be given unique names that you can use to easily address them in the Object Model. That also makes it really easy to get at them in the file format, since each control will be marked with XML structure. The part that I find most exciting about the controls though, is that you can map these controls to XML nodes in your own schema as we saw in this example.
While I'll need to cover this in more detail later, I did want to quickly explain how you can insert your own content controls. The first thing you'll need to to is make sure that you have the "developer" tab showing in the ribbon. You can do this by going to File -> Word Options, and under the view settings choose "Developer Tools":
Now, click on the "Developer" tab, and you'll see a chunk called "content controls"
With this, you can insert new content controls, as well as modify the properties of existing ones. Go ahead and play around with that a bit, and I'll post some more information later on ways to work with the controls. Some of the other topics I'll try to cover in the future in this area are:
(I almost forgot... go Seahawks!)

Modelled on Madiba, after a fashion – but not with permissionComment on this story
Controversial claims that Nelson Mandela had founded a fashion line launching in America this US summer have been revealed to be untrue.
The label, called 466/64 Fashion, is claiming to be inspired and founded by Mandela, leading people to believe his political legacy is behind the brand.
But James Cecil, president of Cadence Communications, which represents the Nelson Mandela Foundation in North America, said: "They cleverly use his quotes in their advertising, but this is not his line of clothing; he did not launch it, nor is he associated with it."
He said: "466/64 Fashion is making false claims that it is tied to Nelson Mandela – it is not, nor does it benefit him or his foundations. They are deliberately misleading people in the fashion industry."
Cecil said both 466/64 Fashion and the 46664 Foundation "have no affiliation with Nelson Mandela, the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, nor the Mandela Rhodes Foundation".
The collection, named after Mandela's prison number while he was jailed on Robben Island, has so far only been available in SA.
"It does not benefit him or his foundations. They are deliberately misleading people in the fashion industry."
The brand, introduced to the US market last week on Nelson Mandela International Day, at the SA consulate in New York, features casual wear in bright colours and vibrant African-influenced patterns, with lines for women, men and children.
A spokeswoman for 466/64 Fashion explained that the 46664 trademark is managed by 46664 South Africa, a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2002 to promote Nelson Mandela's humanitarian legacy.
After Cecil pointed out that Mandela's name "is not to be used in conjunction with any commercial products", the spokeswoman said 46664 South Africa's ethos "is not to use Mr Mandela's name and image commercially… it is to establish a global fashion brand that can create a sustainable income stream in order to fund various humanitarian projects".
The line "is therefore not Mr Mandela's clothing brand or line and should not be reported as such".
The brand, with press material stating that 46664 South Africa was founded by Mandela and that 466/64 Fashion was inspired by Mandela's legacy, was launched in SA in August last year. The line, which will see 10 percent of proceeds go to the foundation, includes "shweshwe" shirts, which Mandela often sports, and hoodies with 466/64 on the back.

|miR-146a regulates mechanotransduction and pressure-induced inflammation in small airway epithelium.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22593544 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Mechanical ventilation generates biophysical forces, including high transmural pressures, which exacerbate lung inflammation. This study sought to determine whether microRNAs (miRNAs) respond to this mechanical force and play a role in regulating mechanically induced inflammation. Primary human small airway epithelial cells (HSAEpCs) were exposed to 12 h of oscillatory pressure and/or the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α. Experiments were also conducted after manipulating miRNA expression and silencing the transcription factor NF-κB or toll-like receptor proteins IRAK1 and TRAF6. NF-κB activation, IL-6/IL-8/IL-1β cytokine secretion, miRNA expression, and IRAK1/TRAF6 protein levels were monitored. A total of 12 h of oscillatory pressure and TNF-α resulted in a 5- to 7-fold increase in IL-6/IL-8 cytokine secretion, and oscillatory pressure also resulted in a time-dependent increase in IL-6/IL-8/IL-1β cytokine secretion. Pressure and TNF-α also resulted in distinct patterns of miRNA expression, with miR-146a being the most deregulated miRNA. Manipulating miR-146a expression altered pressure-induced cytokine secretion. Silencing of IRAK1 or TRAF6, confirmed targets of miR-146a, resulted in a 3-fold decrease in pressure-induced cytokine secretion. Cotransfection experiments demonstrate that miR-146a's regulation of pressure-induced cytokine secretion depends on its targeting of both IRAK1 and TRAF6. MiR-146a is a mechanosensitive miRNA that is rapidly up-regulated by oscillatory pressure and plays an important role in regulating mechanically induced inflammation in lung epithelia.

ACT/SAT summary reports for each Tennessee school and district are public record and do not contain individual student information, yet they are not currently available online.
- Filed Under
In Tennessee, ACT and SAT results provide a measure of college and career readiness and determine eligibility for the lottery-funded HOPE scholarship. Because Tennessee is one of only a handful of states in which nearly every student takes the ACT, this test is the closest thing we have to an exit exam with real stakes for students and families. However, most Tennessee school systems are starting from a low level of performance on the ACT, and the pace of improvement is of great concern.
A composite score of 21 or above on the ACT or 980 or above on the SAT qualifies students for the HOPE ...
