Researchers found eating greasy foods such as French fries or lasagna are okay as long as you make up for it during the week.
The study found gaining a small amount of weight on weekends is normal. Better yet, indulging a bit could help long term weight loss.
The bottom line: good long term habits trump short term splurges.

|Granato F, Ambrosio M R, Spina D, Lazzi S, Rocca B J, Voltolini L, Bongiolatti S, Luzzi L, Gotti G, Leoncini L & Tosi P (2012) Histopathology 60, 270-277 Patients with thymomas have an increased risk of developing additional malignancies: lack of immunological surveillance? Aims: To assess the risk, for patients with thymoma, of developing an additional malignancy (AM). Methods and results: We studied 68 patients with thymomas. Based on the World Health Organization classification, the tumours were categorised as A, AB or B (B1, B2, B3) thymomas. Control populations comprised 114 patients with colorectal cancer, 108 patients with lymphoma and 123 patients with thyroid carcinoma. Patients with thymomas showed a higher risk of developing an AM (22 of 68 patients versus 11 of 114, eight of 108, and eight of 123 patients, respectively; P = 0.0002). The association between thymomas and AMs was related to the thymoma histotype, with B1, B2, B3 and AB tumours showing a higher risk of developing an AM than A thymomas (P = 0.0474). Conclusions: Patients affected by thymomas showed a significantly higher risk of developing additional malignancies than those in the control groups, and cases that exhibited a predominantly cortical component were more likely to develop other neoplasms. This may be related to the functions of cortical thymic epithelial cells in providing for T lymphocyte maturation through interaction with major histocompatibility complexes.

Demonstration Project
John Copeland's problem, published in our January Network, must have seemed simple: many readers wrote in with similar solutions. Copeland's company manufactures an industrial burner that, he says, reduces fuel use by 40%. He has customers in several markets, but asphalt plant owners are unconvinced; they want to see results from another asphalt plant first (Cracking a Market, January, [Article link]). The answers:
Several years ago the manufacturer of Equitrack, a new surface material for horse-racing tracks, faced a similar problem. It had received tremendous response from training centers using the surface, but established tracks were reluctant to try it without a test case. Equitrack made a deal with Remington Park, a new racetrack under construction, offering reduced cost and deferred payment. Remington Park provided it with the test case it needed, and an inroad to the market. Since then other tracks have installed Equitrack.
By waiving profits, and perhaps devising a creative financing plan, Mr. Copeland might persuade an asphalt plant to take a chance. Loss of profit could be made up over the long term by growth in the new market.
Daniel P. Kelliher
Spring City Electric Inc.

Mr. Copeland should set up a deal whereby the asphalt company would not have to pay for the furnace unless it meets his guarantee of 40% fuel reduction.

Mr. Copeland might install the burner for free and recoup his costs from the savings the plant realizes over a set period of time. Or he may wish to forgo profit on the unit in exchange for the plant owner's endorsement. But he should take the instability of the oil market into account. He could tie payments to gallons of fuel saved, rather than dollar savings.

Popcorn! Peanuts! Paper!
Joanne Anderson's company stopped using polystyrene "peanuts" to pack shipments because the plastic is harmful to the environment. But the shredded paper she switched to was dusty, customers complained. In January, Anderson asked Network readers for alternatives (Care Package, [Article link]). As it happens, we may have answered her question ourselves: an item in Hands On highlighted a company that uses popcorn for packing material (Popped Fresh Daily, March, [Article link]). But other readers were split on paper versus peanuts.
Ms. Anderson's problem might be the type of paper she uses as packaging. Some papers, when shredded, are dirtier than others. Recycled paper used in most office supplies is dirtier than higher-quality stationery paper. If she's shredding recycled paper, a vacuum aerator would diminish the dust by cleaning the shredded paper.
Mario Colon
Design Engineer
Cary, N.C.
Like Ms. Anderson, our company still uses polystyrene peanuts for packaging, and we, too, are concerned about their disposal. But until a suitable substitute is developed, perhaps businesses could recycle the peanuts. Cooperating businesses in a city would agree to save the peanuts they receive in packages, and deliver them to a central location. Companies that use peanuts for packing could buy from this recycling center for considerably less than the material must cost new. Businesses would save money and the city could reduce landfill.
R. A. Steiner
National Wholesale Label
Klamath Falls, Ore.
Our company packages its leaded-glass inserts in shredded paper for shipment, and we have no problem with dust because we first wrap our panels in craft paper or butcher paper. This solves any dust problem, and shredded paper works better than anything else.

Engineering a Success
Chris Cleveland has an idea for a new electronic device, but where can he find someone to build a prototype? And how will he pay that person without bankrupting his plans (In Search of Engineering, January, [Article link])?
Many firms provide the design services Mr. Cleveland requires, but there are several degrees of expertise. He should first determine what degree he needs: is his device a Mercedes or a skateboard? Then he should look for a company to fit that need. The Thomas Register of American Manufacturers is an excellent place to start, and it's available in most libraries. He might also check his Better Business Bureau for the names of local electronic design firms.
Even if he plans on building the units, Mr. Cleveland should deal with a firm that offers contract manufacturing. It will typically design a product that is easily produced. He should ask to see some of its products and pay attention to aesthetics.
I would also caution him not to be so quick to give away part of his company in exchange for design services. Rather, he might propose to the firm a manufacturing contract. Some vendors will amortize part of the design fee over a production run if the product looks promising. Finally, he should not release any details of his product without getting a signed nondisclosure agreement. Otherwise, his product may get to market without him.
Michael Lockwood
Director of Operations
Linear Systems
Grand Rapids, Mich.
Mr. Cleveland should contact the electrical engineering department heads at universities in his area. Often, students who are close to graduating need to complete a project, and perhaps one of them would be interested in his idea. A department head might be able to point out bright students. He or she might even know of an interested instructor.

The Oshkosh Fire Department's heavy rescue truck at the scene of a two vehicle crash on Jackson Street in March 2010.
- Filed Under
The Oshkosh Common Council is stuggling with a looming decision between cutting firefighters, raising taxes and fees, or finding other cuts in a tough 2014 budget.
No one on the council wants to cut the firefighter positions, but no one wants to raise taxes more to fund those positions either.
Councilors find themselves with few palatable alternatives that would cut a significant amount of spending, and intend to find a way to retain the department's heavy rescue vehicle operators without having to increase taxes anymore than proposed by City Manager Mark Rohloff. The draft budget would ...

'Mudding' was 'BUCKWILD' reality star's medication
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The sport of tearing into trails in backwoods in trucks and all-terrain vehicles, known among enthusiasts as "muddin'," is a part of life for many amateur daredevils who love to get dirty in rural West Virginia, just as it was for "BUCKWILD" cast member Shain Gandee.
It was a fitting pastime for the 21-year-old, one of the stars on a show that warned viewers not to mimic the "wild and crazy behavior" they witnessed — swearing, fighting, four-wheeling, even swimming in the bed of a dump truck-turned-swimming-pool.
He and two others were found dead inside an SUV on Monday about a mile from Gandee's Sissonville home. The Kanawha County Sheriff's Department said Tuesday that autopsies confirmed they died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. The vehicle was stuck so deep in a mud pit that its tail pipe was submerged; it is possible the gas flooded the cabin because of the clogged exhaust.
In one episode, he describes four-wheeling as a stress-reliever: "This is my medication right here," he says before getting stuck in a mud pit and blowing up his engine. And there was no place he enjoyed being more than behind the wheel in the woods, said Gandee's cousin Ashley Gandee Lewis.
Just two days before he died, Gandee had gone mudding with people he met Saturday at the grand opening of her general store in Proctorville, Ohio.
"He said, 'Let's go!' And they went," Lewis said. "Mudding's just taking your vehicle and finding the biggest mud holes you can get, and seeing how fast you can get through them. You can fish tail it sideways or get stuck.
"It's just about having a good time. It's just about making memories."
Authorities said Gandee, his 48-year-old uncle, David Gandee, and 27-year-old Donald Robert Myers were last seen around 3 a.m. Sunday at a bar and they told people they were going driving off-road. The SUV was found by one of Shain Gandee's friends next to a trail used by four-wheel drive vehicles, about 15 miles outside of Charleston.
FILE - This Jan. 2, 2013 file photo shows Shain Gandee, from MTV's "Buckwild" reality series in New York. Gandee was found dead Monday, April 1, in a sport utility vehicle in a ditch along with his uncle and a third, unidentified person, authorities said. Kanawha County Sheriff's Department Cpl. B.D. Humphreys said the bodies of cast member, Shain Gandee, 21, his uncle David Gandee, 48, and the third person were found Monday near Sissonville. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Invision/AP, file)
The network has not said whether it was filming Gandee at the bar Sunday morning or after he left.
A four-wheeling charity event was being planned, with donations going to Gandee's family for funeral costs.
Jim Humphrey, a salesman at Morgantown Power Sports, said mudding is just a part of the Mountain State's history. People who live near lakes and oceans buy speedboats and personal watercraft. People who live near mountains and mud buy four-wheelers, he said.

Nasdaq OMX Chief Executive Greifeld Signs Contract Extension
Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer Robert Greifeld, who oversaw a failed $11.3 billion bid for NYSE Euronext last year, signed a five-year employment extension with the New York-based exchange operator.
Greifeld will get a base salary of at least $1 million and additional compensation of twice that annually if he meets one or more performance goals each year, according to a regulatory filing. He can't work for a competitor for two years after leaving the company, the filing said.
The deal follows Nasdaq OMX's attempt with Atlanta-based IntercontinentalExchange Inc. to purchase the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, which had agreed to a takeover by Deutsche Boerse Group AG in Frankfurt. Nasdaq and ICE withdrew their offer for NYSE Euronext on May 16 after the Justice Department said it would block the deal because it would give the combined entity too much sway over corporate listings and other services. Antitrust regulators in Europe prevented the Deutsche Boerse transaction on Feb. 1.
Nasdaq OMX also extended General Counsel Edward S. Knight's employment with a five-year contract. Knight, who is also the company's chief regulatory officer, can't work for or provide services to a competing exchange for 12 months after his departure, according to the filing. The employment terms went into effect for both men on Feb. 22, the filing said.

|Inflammatory bronchopulmonary response of preterm infants with microbial colonisation of the airways at birth.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8653437 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The inflammatory indicators in the tracheobronchial aspirate (TA) of 81 ventilated preterm infants with microbial colonisation of the airways and in non-colonised neonates were analysed on the first day of life. TA was assessed for chemotactic activity, neutrophil cell count, and concentrations of leukotriene B4, C5a, interleukin-1, interleukin-8, elastase-alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor, free elastase and albumin. Concentrations of mediators were related to concentrations of the secretory component of IgA. The infants' gestational age was mean (SD) 27.9 (2.0) weeks, birthweight 945 (179) g. In 12 infants (15%) microbial colonisation of the airways was present (Ureaplasma urealyticum n = 7; bacteria n = 5). Compared with non-colonised neonates (n = 69), chemotactic activity, neutrophil count, and concentrations of interleukin-1, leukotriene B4 and elastase-alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor were significantly higher in the colonised group. The difference was most pronounced for IL-1 concentrations, both with and without correction for secretory component. There was also a trend towards increased concentrations of interleukin-8 in the latter group. There were no differences for concentrations of C5a and albumin in the TA of both groups. It is concluded that airway colonisation with U urealyticum or bacteria at birth is associated with a clinically relevant bronchopulmonary inflammatory response. Increased concentrations of interleukin-1 in TA on the first day of life may be a marker of perinatal colonisation of the airways.

Microsoft vet says Windows Phone 7 devices get 8 upgrade [U]
updated 09:15 pm EDT, Tue April 17, 2012
Windows Phone Apollo may reach all devices
(Update: no?) Talk of Windows Phone 8, or Apollo, dropping backwards compatibility with existing phones may be false. A video interview (below) with Microsoft Evangelist Nuno Silva posted by Portugese site Zwame suggested that "all" Windows Phone devices, even from the first generation, would get the next version of the mobile OS. He was explicit in mentioning early models, such as the LG Optimus 7 and Samsung Omnia 7, as qualifying.
Outside of the interview, Microsoft has barely acknowledged that a future version of Windows Phone is in development and has been shy on version compatibility. It has promised that the next major Windows Phone version will run existing apps.
The OS has raised compatibility questions mostly out of a belief that 8/Apollo is a significant break from how WP7 behaves. It may have enough code compatibility with the desktop that its apps could run on Windows 8 with minimal porting. Most expect Microsoft to at least have some new features in the new version that will require new hardware.
A hard cutoff was considered unlikely given that it would alienate those who had bought phones even from just months earlier, such as a Lumia 900. [via WMPowerUser]
Update: An unofficial but "trusted" source speaking to The Verge claimed that there would "absolutely not" be an upgrade from Windows Phone 7.5 to 8. Microsoft, when cross-checked, would only talk app compatibility and not OS upgrades. While corroborating an earlier tip, it could risk orphaning every existing Windows Phone owner and hurt Microsoft's chances at regaining market share lost over the past several years.

I Think We Can Win This One!!!
I just want to see defensive improvement lets start mixing things up right now. Witherspoon out of the middle and maybe some ned DBs.
I want to see Butler and Alston get more action.. I think they are just ready to get on that field and help the Rams out.
I don't want to think about it. Our performance could keep us off the Monday night schedule for years to come....
Hard to be optimistic about the Rams winning any of their remaining games. Chicago scored 23 points today with virtually no offense. Whatever ails there offense will get better against our defense.
Colts 11-1 vs Titans 4-7 Who won? Titans. Any given sunday or in this case monday. I just hope we don't get embarassed on national prime time game.
We will probably get shut out.

More than 50 games have already been played in the NBA 2012-13 season and the Los Angeles Lakers still have not turned the corner. The team currently has a disappointing 25-29 record, four games below .500 leading into the All-Star Break.
Nobody knows if the Lakers will get it together and while many of you think there's still a possibility, there's a chance that this season isn't the year for the purple and gold.
More and more rumors are spreading that stars Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard cannot stand one another. We didn't believe the news at first being that both players seemed to be supportive of each other early in the season, but after hearing of the heated altercation between both athletes after the blowout loss to the Clippers, any chance the Lakers ever had of actually doing damage this season went straight out the window.
In addition, there's now even more breaking news that Dwight Howard has plans of leaving Los Angeles and moving to Brooklyn to join the Nets. We know, here we go again.
Sources have said that Howard apparently spoke to current Raptors' small forward Rudy Gay and mentioned how Gay "messed up" by getting traded to Toronto. Howard continued by saying that Gay "should have waited to join him in Brooklyn."
Even before the season began, many Los Angeles Lakers' fans were hesitant to fall in love with the 6'11 center because these people knew that there was always room for situations like this when it pertained to Dwight Howard. It might've been considered as being negative at the time, but it turns out that those fans were right.
It doesn't matter who the player is, once fans hear of any rumors that the athlete wants to leave, any respect that those types of professionals ever had diminishes within the fan base. Dwight Howard is officially standing on thin ice and this scenario does not bode well for the Lakers' chances of making a deep run into the playoffs.

Sweet, crunchy kale is trendy and nutritious. / JAE S. LEE / FILE / THE TENNESSEAN
You Asked For It
Question: Edith Markley of Nashville has totally charmed me with her question. She asks me to verify for the sake of her granddaughter that there really is a food called head cheese, adding that she used to enjoy it in her youth.
Answer: Well, Edith is right! First, let me explain that this is not a cheese at all, but a sausage. It is made from the seasoned meaty bits from the heads of calves, sheep or pigs. It has a gelatinous broth added and is usually cooked in a mold that it is removed from after it has cooled completely. Head cheese is served at room temperature and very thinly sliced.
What used to be just a leafy green garnish on the dinner plate has now moved to the center of that plate. Nutrient-rich kale is the new snack and entrée star from the large cabbage family.
While its been cultivated for well over 2,000 years, the popularity of kale has only soared over the past couple of years. The plant itself is quite nice-looking and falls into the nonheading group of cabbage that is famous for those yummy leaves.
Kale is one of those unique plants that prefers cooler climates but can still thrive in warmer areas. The coveted frilly leaves have a very mild flavor that will remind you of cabbage. Although there are several varieties that have colors ranging from purple to creamy white, nearly all have the identical flavor. The solid green ones are the most plentiful and will be available at the best price point.
Select those that are sturdy-looking and fresh. As they age, the leaves will wilt, turn limp and begin to yellow. They will also develop quite a strong taste. I buy it by the bunch and store it in the coldest part of the refrigerator, which is the crisper drawer. Use it within three days for the best flavor.
To prepare it for use, just wash the leaves thoroughly and remove the center stalk. It is tough and should be discarded. Allow it to drain in a colander or dry it with clean paper towels before using.
If you have lots of recipes for using fresh spinach, you also have lots of recipes for using fresh kale. They can be prepared the same way. The popular way to prepare it at the moment is to make kale chips, which is simply roasted kale that has been sprinkled with olive oil, salt and pepper.
The local crop looks outstanding! To locate the fresh kale producer nearest you, go to www.picktnproducts.org, and dont forget to call before heading to the farm for availability. A second fall crop will be available in September.

Mamatography Week 4: This And That
|February 1, 2012
|Posted by Luschka under Mamatography, Projects & Series
Welcome to week 4 of 2012. Is it just me, or is it really flying by? We're in FEBRUARY folks. I haven't even packed away all the Christmas decorations yet! (Yes… I know how bad that sounds!)
Without further ado, here's our week four for 2012.
19/366 – Lost Day
Ah… the enduring sickness. It seems we lost a day here…
20/366 – Feed the Toddler
Sick, sick, sick sick, sick sick sick, and did I mention, sick? At least with home made yoghurt, I'm pretty sure Ameli's getting some good stuff in too…
21/366 – Feed the Birds
My inlaws came to visit and after lunch we went for a walk along the canal. I think it's really important for girls to have a good male influence in their lives, and I treasure that she has a good daddy, Grandpa, Oupa and uncle who love her. Sadly Oupa and Uncle Zee are far away, but daddy and Grandpa are near.
22/366 – Birth Pool Test Run
It's getting hot in here… well, actually the temperature is dropping, and my belly is getting bigger. We have to start getting things ready for this new baby, so as a first step, we dusted off Ameli's birthpool to make sure it's good for round two. She's way bigger than the day she came out of it, I'll tell you that!
23/366 – Lego
The sickness bug just won't leave our house, so we've been laying low, doing what we can to keep busy while keeping warm. Here's Daddy and Ameli building Lego.
24/366 – Fairies and butterflies
When you can't choose, why not be both at the same time?
Trying to sort things out and make space for Squidgy's arrival. Ameli's room's been a bit of a mess from my efforts to tidy, so this is the before and after once I'd sorted clothes she can still wear from clothes she can't. And then it was back into bed, because if I don't shake this cold… *sigh*.
Remember to link up your Mamatography posts below, and if you're just visiting, thanks for stopping by!

Sorry you're not feeling well over there. Looks like you'll get it out of the way before baby comes though, which is good. So exciting!
Isn't it a blessing to have family and friends we love help love our children?

Both at the same time — reminds me of a time when Amy's little dolls were both wanting to marry the prince, and they "asked the government," which agreed he could marry both of them, and the problem was solved.

Lol! That actually made me laugh! I have been worried about how dull my life looks, because when we did it in 2010 we were travelling a LOT… looked GREAT! But actually, I find knowing that I have to find something to photograph MAKES me get up and do things – I sometimes need that motivation, so I say definitely! Give it a go again!
I love the before and after pics of Ameli's room… well done you! Hope you feel better soon!
Christine @ African Babies Don't Cry's last blog post ..All Things Jesse {Mamatography Photo Challenge: Week 5}
What great pics! I love the belly pics in the birthing pool. I actually havent even edited a photo since the birth of my little guy. I thought about just combining the whole month of January and posting it…maybe I will, maybe I won't…time is just a new thing when you have a toddler and new baby around.
Anyway, I love that you're sharing your year!
Toni @ Carrigan's Joy's last blog post ..Jacob: 2 Weeks
Hope you're starting to feel better! I'm glad your in-laws were able to come and help out at least. Great birthing pool! You must be getting super excited!!
Outdoors Mom's last blog post ..Mamatography Week 4
I'm amazed at how much you accomplished despite being sick. I think feeding toddler is about as far as I would get How exciting it must be to know that the birth pool is ready, and things are tidied. You're so close!

Wayans not done making fun of scary movies
The new BET comedy series "Second Generation Wayans" begs the question: Have there really been only two generations of the professionally funny family that gave us "In Living Color," the "Scary Movie" franchise and "White Chicks"?
"I'm pretty sure there were some really entertaining Wayans before us," says Marlon Wayans. "You know, some hilarious slave Wayans. They could've been in (Quentin) Tarantino's movie ("Django Unchained"). Pickin' cotton, and tellin' jokes. That's us."
At 40, Marlon is part of the same generation of Wayans that produced Damon, Keenan Ivory, Kim and Shawn. Marlon has "always been the most-talented" of the clan, says George Thomas, film critic for the Cleveland Examiner — capable of low comedy, but also of stealing film from the likes of Tom Hanks ("The Ladykillers").
Wayans' latest function in the funny-family enterprise is "A Haunted House," an attempt to move on from the "Scary Movies" that he helped launch, but which the family is no longer a part of. With the "Scary Movie" installments — begun as a response to the "Scream" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchises — growing more watered-down with each year, Wayans saw an opening for another parody.
"There's a fine line between that moment when you're a fan of the movie, the first movie in a series maybe, or you're a fan of a genre — and the first films in it are the good ones — and then the bad ones start coming along and you hate them," Wayans says. "When I see common denominators, common situations, common characters — a genre of films or a series of films becomes all the same movie — that's when I go 'That sucks. But it's funny that it sucks.'"
That's where he figures the "found footage" genre of horror is — "Paranormal Activity" and its many imitations.
"By the time the recent 'Paranormal Activities' and the rip-offs came along, I said, 'Wow. White people do some dumb stuff in these freaking movies. You know what would be funny? If 'Paranormal Activity' happened to a black couple. Who would they call? What would go wrong with them?'"
He couldn't do much with the original found-footage horror film — "The Blair Witch Project" — because "Black people don't camp. We came from Africa. We know what's in the woods."
But what if, say, a black couple had "thug cousins" they could call in a crisis? "That's what I would do. And that's funny, to me. There are things even a thug is afraid of."
Next up for Wayans is a co-starring role in the comedy "The Heat," with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. He plays Bullock's character's love interest.
"We don't have any love scenes. Or any chemistry, really. But I'm pretty sure that in my mind, they do the nasty. A man's got to have hope."

The California Office of Administrative Law on Monday approved emergency regulations governing health insurers' treatment of autism coverage.
The regulations were issued by the Department of Insurance to implement details of the California Mental Health Parity Act as well as to implement SB 946 by Sen. Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento), an autism treatment law passed in 2011.
"These emergency regulations will ensure that insurance companies cover medically necessary treatment," Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones said in a written statement. "Autistic children and their families should now, without delay, receive the transformative treatment that will enable them to succeed in school, their families and communities."
Although laws were in the books governing autism coverage, consumer complaints raised concerns at the Department of Insurance that some insurance carriers might not be complying with the laws. The emergency regulations should clarify the laws' requirements, said Janice Rocco, deputy commissioner at DOI.
"We found that it was important to get these [emergency] regulations in place as soon as they were drafted," Rocco said. "Any delay can impact a child in an ongoing way. If you have delay, [the condition] becomes more difficult to treat, and more costly to treat."
State law on autism treatment is a different issue from autism coverage under the essential health benefits of the Affordable Care Act, Rocco said.
"The federal law will require certain coverage, but state law is different. In California, we have put more comprehensive solutions into statutes," Rocco said.
Jones said autism has reached "crisis proportions" in California, and that delays or denials by health insurers in covering autism treatment ends up increasing costs to the state, as patients end up seeking help at the county or state level. According to Jones, California will save between $139 million and $198 million next year, as insurers pick up the cost of autism treatment.
The OAL approval of the Department of Insurance emergency regulations went into effect Monday.
The emergency regulations ban visit limits and end cost limits on coverage unless limits apply equally to all benefits under the policy. They also limit denials and unreasonable delays in coverage.

Your success as a cloud service or hosting provider comes down to two things: uninterrupted access to your data center and reliable performance of your core data center services.
As a cloud service or hosting provider, you often have a higher risk of DDoS attacks than other online businesses because you, in effect, aggregate the risk of all your customers. An attack on one customer can affect others and potentially the entire hosting operation because of the heavy reliance on shared infrastructure.
The overall impact of a DDoS attack is a function of the time it takes to detect the attack, the time needed to mitigate it and the extent of service degradation both before and after mitigation. If your data center is down because of a DDoS attack or other network availability threat, your customers can lose revenue – and your business can lose revenue and credibility.
Since our founding in 2000, Arbor has been on the front lines of the DDoS battle. Our innovative DDoS prevention solutions and ongoing commitment to Internet-wide network security research and information sharing has helped establish Arbor as a global leader in the DDoS market. Our customer base includes the vast majority of tier one and tier two service providers globally as well as many of the world's largest hosting providers and enterprises.
By partnering with Arbor, you can protect and grow your business with solutions that enable in-depth visibility into network, application and routing traffic; DDoS detection, mitigation and reporting capabilities; and a revenue-generating platform for managed DDoS protection services. Highly scalable and easily deployed, our solutions are relevant whether you're a small hosting provider with a single data center or a large cloud services provider with multiple data centers and extensive network connectivity.

Police arrested 30 people in a drug-arrest operation in York City Wednesday.
It also resulted in the confiscation of an undetermined amount of drugs, guns, cash, and weapons, said Trooper Robert Hicks, state police spokesman.
A press conference on the operation has been scheduled for Thursday morning, according to a news release from York County.
Previously reported:
A helicopter flying over York City during rush hour Wednesday morning was being used to assist police in apprehending dozens of alleged drug dealers.
The operation was the culmination of an 18-month investigation and the service of 80 arrest warrants, said Trooper Rob Hicks, state police spokesman.
The roundup began early Wednesday morning and will continue until all 80 suspects are located, according to York County District Attorney Tom Kearney.
He said state police are conducting raids with the York County Drug Task Force and numerous other law-enforcement agencies to arrest people involved in the city's drug trade.
Kearney and Hicks declined to disclose further details about the investigation. A press conference is set for 11 a.m. Thursday at the state police barracks in Loganville.

If her success increases further thanks to this brand-new work, "This Is a Forgery," she may well turn into an egomaniacal jerk. But we'll still adore her. 8 p.m. $12¬–$15. Erickson Theatre Off Broadway, 1524 Harvard Ave.; tickets: 800.838.3006; brownpapertickets.com; info: ameliareeber.com
Must Experience

Must Taste
Tuesday – Saturday – A product of chef Scott Carsberg's secret construction project, Bisato is a new cicchetti bar serving affordable fare in the old Belltown Lampreia space (2400 First Ave.; 206.443.3301; bisato.com). Gone are many of the linened tables Lampreia was known for. The room now boasts an enormous J-shaped bar and a gleaming, red meat slicer (part showpiece, part workhorse). A set of 100-year-old barn doors gives the room a rustic warmth. The food is decidedly simpler than one would have encountered at Lampreia, though Carsberg insists the quality remains the same. The name is essentially unchanged, too: Lampreia is Portuguese for "eel"; Bisato means the same thing in the Venetian dialect. Everything on the menu costs $14 or less, including dishes such as branzino with black trumpet mushrooms and thinly sliced mango salad with prawns. But be advised: The portions can be small indeed.

What Film Forum is to cinema, North/South Consonance is to modern classical music—an independent nonprofit bringing New York City deserving works overlooked by big-ticket distributors and mainstream media. North/South continued its 32 season of free concerts Feb. 19 with "Midwinter Sounds," music for chamber orchestra by composers from Cuba, Italy, and the U.S., at Christ & St. Stephen's Church.
Mexican-born Max Lifchitz founded North/South in 1980 to guide the works of Latin American composers to worldwide attention. Today North/South has its own record label and a long list of international premiers. Still, Lifchitz feels he's fighting two concurrent trends: mainstream producers playing it safe by promoting only well-proven (i.e., commercially successful) composers coupled with lassitude on the part of the listening public. "Radio is afraid to play this music, and you can't get a listing in the New York Times unless you have a big publicity budget," he says. "With so much prerecording, people take music for granted. They want to have it on in the background, but they don't want it to get in the way. This music isn't easy listening."
Maybe not, but "Midwinter Sounds" sure wasn't hard to listen to. Modern classical music is often stereotyped as disjointed and overly intellectual, but the largely programmatic music featured in this concert conjured up a wellspring of good old-fashioned images.
Ada Gentile's opening mournful phrases in Torre del Guado resolved into a pastoral ode, recalling the tenuously happy end of Robert Frost's "Dust of Snow," while the four movements of Victor Kioulaphides' New York Moments are so evocative that one can't help but listen to the city's sounds in a different way. Even without knowing the title of the second movement—"Central Park (Reflections on the Lily Pond)"—you're crossing the Bow Bridge with your lover on a spring day; the eerie melodies of "Tugboat on the Hudson (Evanescent in the Morning Fog)" have you rubbing your shoulders against the strange beauty of the river at dawn.
Harold Schiffman studied composition with both Roger Sessions and Ernst von Dohnanyi. In Serenata Concertante, he offers a largo based on Appalachian fiddle tunes, as relaxed and charming as a sly romance. Ironically, the most "modern" instrumentation came from the oldest composer on the program—87-year-old Cuban-born Aurelio de la Vega. Sounds of fragmentation summoned another poem to mind: "Things fall apart; the center cannot hold." Images of a modern age.

Primary Care Association (PCA) Initiative
The goal of APA's primary care association initiative is to develop psychologist positions and psychology training programs in Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) around the country, particularly community health centers and rural health clinics. These health centers are organized in states and regions of the country as Primary Care Associations (PCA) under the oversight of the HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) and its national organization, the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC).
The Primary Care Association Initiative was launched on September 19, 2008, in Washington, D.C., when the APA Education Government Relations Office and the APA Committee on Rural Health (CRH; under the authority of the APA Committee for the Advancement of Professional Practice) hosted an all-day meeting. Our goal was to work with BPHC, NACHC and the PCAs to increase the demand for psychologists and psychology trainees for delivering integrated health care at the health centers throughout the nation. This initiative grew out of the longstanding awareness of the lack of access to behavioral health and psychological and integrated health care services in rural areas.
The goals of the meeting were to
Learn what has worked to create positions for psychologists and psychology trainees in FQHCs;
Create an action plan to work with state Primary Care Associations to promote integrated care and new positions for psychologists and psychology trainees; and
Build the foundation for a partnership among state, provincial and territorial psychological associations (SPTAs), state primary care associations, relevant federal agencies and national organizations, and the American Psychological Association to further the initiative.
CRH has taken a strong interest in integrated care because it seems likely to be a part of healthcare reform and it seems to be a great model for rural psychology practice. An integrated care model brings psychologists into primary care and attempts to seamlessly provide both mental/behavioral health services along with traditional primary care medicine. At its most basic, integrated care can involve the co-location of mental health services in a primary care physician's office; in models with a higher degree of collaboration, the psychologist works as part of the team with the physician, nurses, and other staff, providing brief behavioral health interventions and consulting directly with the team on treatment plans. It has been stated that the primary care system in America is the de facto mental health system. In rural areas where psychologists and other mental health professionals are less densely located, it is even more important to provide services where most people will be willing, able, and likely to receive them.
Key Recommendations
The meeting concluded with a number of key recommendations, including:
Drafting talking points for use by psychologists willing to reach out to their state Primary Care Association.
Facilitate discussions among key stakeholders, including state, provincial, and territorial psychological associations, primary care associations, psychologists, payers, etc.
Developing materials to educate FQHC administrators on the positive health outcomes of employing psychologists.
Sharing publications with key players in the FQHC program at the federal, state & local levels.

Native Wholesale Supply, a giant cigarette wholesaler located on the Seneca Nation Reservation in Ontario, has filed for federal bankruptcy protection, Buffalo News reports.
The filings comes one month after the USDA took the company to court saying it owed $43 million to a federal trust fund. The company is also involved in several investigations and court actions in other states, which are questioning its cigarette shipping practices, reported Tom Precious of the Buffalo News.
In October, U. S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara ordered Montour's company to comply with the terms of the Fair and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 2004 and pay into the tobacco trust fund. In his company's Chapter 11 filing with the U. S. Bankruptcy Court in the Western District of New York, (Arthur Montour, owner of Native Wholesale Supply) listed the $43 million owed to the Agriculture Department as an unsecured claim.
Montour acts as a wholesaler of cigarettes — chiefly the Seneca brand—made by Grand River Enterprises, a plant on the Six Nations of the Grand River Indian Reservation in Ohsweken, Ont., near Hamilton.
Oklahoma went after Montour's company in court, alleging that he failed to make required payments into an escrow account created in the wake of a landmark 1998 settlement by 49 states and the nation's major tobacco companies.
In court papers filed last week in U. S. Bankruptcy Court in Buffalo, the State of Oklahoma—at $5.1 million — is listed as the second-largest unsecured claim for Montour's wholesale company.

Should The Habs And Flyers Make A Deal For Carey Price?
All those "Price is right" puns – Habs fans likely never imagined it would come to this and take on such a perspective.
This might be more than speculative, but rumours are that the Flyers were only curious about the asking price for Jaroslav Halak a few months back, and that the goaltender they truly covet is Carey Price. In fact, as Halak earned more starts for Montreal down the final stretch, at one point, GM Pierre Gauthier let it slip that calls for Price from teams actually increased the more the Habs leaned towards Halak as their go to goalie.
That's a very telling notion, and poses some curious questions and options for the Canadiens brass.
Rather than get full into another biased camp debate, let's leapfrog right over to the ultimate question. If Montreal were to deal Price to the Flyers, the return would have to be a significant one. The Canadiens, in such a scenario, would then face Price four times per season if he were to become a Flyer, for many years into the unforeseeable future. The Habs would then be looking for a trade that would offer similar quality for coming years.
Now from a Flyers point of view, over the summer, they may be able to get their mits on Marty Turco or Tomas Vokoun, who are both aging, and have never won much of significance. The Flyers goaltending issues are longstanding, and a very frustrating killer point in Philly failure for decades. For a good while now, the Flyers have gone through goalies like Hugh Hefner goes through bottles of Viagra.
Acquiring Price from Montreal, in Philadelphia's eyes, could potentially solve that particular issue for several seasons. It is late for them, in terms of solving that issue, and if they are truly intent on resolving it once and for all, they would be willing to offer up a heady return.

Detection of the HTLV-I antisense transcript in HTLV-I-infected cell lines. (A) Positioning of the HBZ antisense ORF in the HTLV-I proviral DNA. Primers used for RT-PCR experiments and the expected size of the amplified signal are indicated above the enlarged HBZ ORF. (B) RT-PCR analyses were performed on RNA samples from HTLV-I-infected cell lines using the 21-5 primer for RT and primer combinations presented in A for PCR analysis. Samples were tested for DNA contamination in RNA samples (lanes 1–2; no RT and no RT primer) and autopriming (lanes 3–4; in the presence of RT with no added RT primer). CTL represents PCR analysis with no added cDNA or RNA. M = 100 bp marker (the asterisk indicates the 600 bp band). Lanes 5 and 6 show the results of PCR using primers 23-3/21-5 and 21-4/21-5 to generate products of 400 bp and 450 bp, respectively.

Library Board
Wednesday, February 15, 2006
7 p.m.
City Hall Council Chambers
I. Roll Call – Stein called the meeting to order at 7 p.m.
PRESENT: Melissa Barnard, Maxine Brink, Stu Bush, Ann Heard, Cherie Hutter, Kathleen Kinnish, Marilyn Soules, Judy Stein
ALSO PRESENT: Virginia McKane, Assistant Director
Tony Lascari, Midland Daily News
II. Acceptance of Minutes
Minutes of the January 18, 2006 meeting were approved as submitted.
III. Additions or Changes to the Agenda
Stein requested that an item to discuss recognizing the Friends of the Library be added to the agenda under Old Business.
IV. Public Comments
There were no public comments.
V. Director's Report
Barnard reported that the City is beginning the process of updating its Master Plan and is inviting the public to participate in the process. Citizens can participate by hosting a small group Meeting in a Box which contains materials needed for a meaningful discussion about the City's future. Citizens may also participate in an on-line survey or attend community workshops. People can contact City Hall or visit the City's website for further information.
McKane updated the Board on the Battle of the Books. The first written battle was held today with 61 teams participating.
Midland preschools, daycares, and patrons have brought in dinosaur art to display in Youth Services. The display corresponds with the T. rex Named SUE exhibition at the Midland Center for the Arts.
The library was represented at the Kids Day at the Mall as well as Wellness Day at the Mall.
From the statistical report, Stein asked if the gate count includes the lounge and auditorium use. Barnard responded that gate counts are not done for those doors. Attendance at library programs held in the auditorium and lounge are included in program attendance numbers. A counter is being considered.
VI. Patron Compliments and Concerns
Barnard responded to the comments and questions received from patrons.
1. Please gather a list of all the book clubs available locally.
Many book clubs are membership by invitation only or require paid membership in an organization to join. The library sponsors a book discussion group open to anyone.
2. Books on tape – much better than books on CD – can return to same location easily; easy to change when walking. Ask the users!
The format available from venders is driven by the market. Books on tape are being phased out. The library has increasing demand for books on CD and MP3.
3. You have to move the tax form, photocopy area away from the computers! The people using that area are loud – put them in the basement. You have an elevator they can use if they can't use the stairway.
Staff will request that users keep voices down. The location of the forms and tax computer allows staff and volunteers to assist users.
1. Tax form computer is great idea. But it faces a window and is hard to see screen when the sun is out.
Computer monitor was replaced.
2. It would be nice to have Microsoft Word so that those of us without internet access at home can do what we need to do here.
Staff is exploring providing this service.
3. My comments concern the computer system for finding youth services books and materials. I find it confusing and very difficult to use, especially in comparison to the old system, which was straightforward and easy to use. Please bring back the old system! We could easily find books with it. If it's difficult for me to use, imagine how it is for children.
The "old system" is being phased out by the vendor. Please see the librarian if you need assistance using the catalog. Upcoming new releases from the vendor may address some of the catalog searching issues.
4. I find it very disconcerting to find a man dozing/sleeping in the reading area by the fireplace in front of the "Quiet" room. I haven't mentioned anything on repeated occasions, but today when he was snoring, I find it should come to your attention. I would like to enjoy sitting/reading in this area particularly.
Please report disturbances to staff.
5. I like the idea of your new free downloadable audio books, NetLibrary. However, I'm told by your librarians that you cannot use the books on the iPod. I believe most people have iPods if they have a portable audio player. You can pay iTunes money to download books.
The company that provides the downloadable audio books licenses libraries to have access that does not violate copyright. The iTunes product is for individual use only. Patrons are provided with information on the specifications for devices that can be used.
6. The library is well maintained but need more old movies on DVD. Thanks.
The library is purchasing older movies on DVD as they become available and as the budget allows.
7. I really enjoy the coffee shop! Thank you to all involved!
8. I can't believe that our public library has a television. Don't we get enough TV at home? Aren't we supposed to encourage kids to read when they come to the library? I would like to see the TV removed!
The television is used very responsibly by the teens. The library has not had any problems.
9. I wish old videos (DVD and video tapes), esp. Hallmark and PBS series would be free. I noticed many were not checked out in a long time and with this incentive, more people would check them out. In Cincinnati they do this.
This is a revenue source for the library, providing funding for the purchase of DVDs. See the March/April Library Connection "Frequently Asked Question" feature under Library Board for further explanation.
10. I am very concerned about the display case for Planned Parenthood in the basement of the library. It has pictures that are totally inappropriate for viewing by children. Why would you allow such a thing with no parameters on what is displayed? I wanted to be able to bring my children here but will not with such pornographic material in full view. It is most disappointing to see such a lack of discrimination as to what will benefit children.
The two pictures that may be referenced here are of the human body and are not pornographic (sexually explicit). There have not been any other complaints about this display.
11. I just wanted to let you know that my daughter and I really enjoyed the January guest storyteller, Rebecca Anlas. We attended three sessions last month. They were all fantastic! My daughter is 4 and she enjoys attending the Listeners Story Time. All the librarians in the children's department are so wonderful… kind, caring, and very knowledgeable. Many of them know us by name… which I think is awesome! The ladies at the checkout desk are helpful and friendly too. I think we have a wonderful library. Keep up the good work!
12. Kudos to the entire staff for their continued professionalism and fine service. The library is one of the facilities which I value most as a resident of this community. A couple questions about new books:
1) Is there any way to view a list of recent acquisitions by subject groupings to see what books have been added in our fields of interest? Can the reference librarians provide this information if we request it? We peruse the shelves of new books and look at the new and notable displays but often wonder what else we might reserve if we knew that a title was part of the book collection.
The automated system can't sort titles in these groupings. New books are shelved in the new book area for six months to allow patrons to see the new additions.
2) New books at other locations. We often find new books of interest in collections at other libraries but are not allowed to place a hold on them. In searching, we often observe that titles are on the shelf over a period of many weeks. It is disappointing to be unable to avail ourselves of these books when they are not in use. Is this a hard and fast policy restricting use of new books to the purchasing branch for a period of time after acquisition?
Again, my appreciation for the resources of the Grace A. Dow Library.
It is common for libraries to restrict new books to their patrons only for a period of time. This is a practice of the Grace A. Dow Memorial Library.
16. With great anticipation I came to the library today to get set up to use the eBooks at NetLibrary. I inquired about computer system requirements and was assured that there was no issue of what kind of computer the user has. As a Macintosh user, I wanted to know. I was assured that there would be no problem.
To my great dismay, I have discovered that it is impossible to use eBooks on a Macintosh. The downloadable files are in .wma (Windows Media Audio) format. It appears that all of the NetLibrary offerings have Microsoft's proprietary DRM (Digital Rights Management) in them which means they can be used only on a Windows PC. Microsoft has stopped further development of the Windows Media Player for Macintosh. There does not appear to be any workaround for this situation.
I am very certain that a significant number of your patrons use Macintosh computers. Since it is the library's chief business to provide access to all information, I do not understand allowing this limitation – no, barrier – to stand. Needless to say, I am deeply disappointed.
Patrons can pick up instructions at the Reference Desk on accessing eBooks on Macintosh computers. Macintosh computers can't be used to download the downloadable audio books.
17. I read about access coming soon for NetLibrary. Do I have to come to the library to sign up for the service? Will there be a cost? I think this is a great resource, my hat's off to all of those who have pushed for this forward thinking direction the library is taking towards technology.
There is no charge to register a user name to access NetLibrary. Please see librarians to register.
VII. Old Business
a. Board/Community Communications
Brink's "Frequently Asked Question" response will be included in the March/April issue of the Library Connection. Kinnish has turned in her submission for the May/June issue and Soules will be responsible for submitting a question and response for the July/August issue.
b. Community Read Project
No report at this time.
c. Cup and Chaucer Coffee Bar Report
Barnard reported that the Cup and Chaucer is promoting a new bookmark where you buy six beverages and get one free. The manager is also looking at products that will give patrons more value for their money. Hutter commented that the Cup and Chaucer has been doing a nice job of catching your attention as you enter the library. The board was also pleased that Mike Shea, director of the Arnold Center, won the Charles J. Strosacker Award.
d. Book Drop/Parking Lot
No report at this time.
e. Board Goals, Township Communication
The committee of Brink, Bush and Stein composed a letter to each township supervisor, either thanking them for their patronage and support or inviting them to become patrons of the library. The letters highlight the Teen Room, computer classes, informational computer resources, youth services, local history/genealogy information, and the Cup and Chaucer. Bush stressed that board members welcome the opportunity to attend a township meeting as representatives of the library board.
Brink will be doing a report at a meeting of the townships on March 2. Barnard will gather information about the library and its services for Brink to take with her.
f. Friends of the Library Recognition
Barnard reported that the Friends of the Library annual meeting is set for Wednesday, April 26 at 7 p.m. in the library lounge. McKane will be attending the Friends board meeting on February 22 and will request that the Library Board be put on the agenda for the Friends annual meeting.
VIII. New Business
a. Wireless Access Update
Barnard reported that the modem has been installed, equipment is being purchased and installed for filtering, and training will be scheduled for staff.
b. Mideastern Michigan Library Cooperative Board Representative
Barnard reported that when the library joined the Mideastern Michigan Library Cooperative, we were told that all Class VI libraries would have a permanent seat on the board, which consists of all laypersons. It is now time for our library to select a member of the library board to fill that seat. The position would take effect at the Cooperative's annual meeting on Thursday, May 11. All meetings are held in Flint at the Cooperative office; six or seven meetings are held each year. Barnard asked the board to consider filling this seat and to let her know if interested.
c. Mideastern Michigan Library Cooperative Annual Meeting
Barnard reported that the annual meeting of the Cooperative is Thursday, May 11.
d. Expiring Terms of Board Members
Terms will be up at the end of June for Stu Bush and Cherie Hutter. To be reappointed, it is necessary to submit an application to the City Manager's office by March 10. At their March 20th meeting, City Council will consider those seeking to be reappointed. Hutter said she will not be seeking reappointment; Bush has not yet decided.
IX. Board Comments
Stein commented that a friend of hers was thrilled with the computer classes provided by the library.
Heard commented about the international theme coming up with National Library Week, which also ties in with the Midland Public Schools and the Dow Chemical Company applying to the International Baccalaureate Organization.
X. Adjournment
The meeting of the Library Board adjourned at 8:12 p.m. The next meeting of the Library Board is scheduled for Wednesday, March 15, 2006 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall.

Egarter is still not sure how this new evidence fits into a comprehensive theory that would explain how Otzi came to die where he did. He hopes to investigate further. He would like to do an endoscopic examination of Otzi's chest cavity. Then he would like to get permission from the scientific committee of the museum that controls research on Otzi to defrost the body and remove the arrowhead. Doing that would enable him to determine whether the arrow severed any nerves, arteries or veins. Severed arteries would indicate that Otzi died of blood loss shortly after the arrow hit him.If veins were damaged, he might have lasted considerably longer before the loss of blood killed him. If no blood vessels were damaged, he might have survived the wound for several days. While further tests await, Egarter continues to look for other clues. "It was my work, my responsibility at first," he said. "But it has become my hobby." I had the sense that if his command of English were more certain, Egarter would have used the word "passion" instead of "hobby."
I tagged along with Egarter, mountain guide Pirpamer and Quilici one day last summer when they helicoptered up to the Tisenjoch to have a look around. Clouds wafting down from the mountain above hid the sun, melding with the snow and ice that covered much of the ground. Rocks that in sunlight glint with the faint golden color of pyrite looked black and foreboding. It was cold; we could see our exhalations in front of us as we hiked through the snow toward the place where Otzi was discovered.
Egarter, dressed in a parka, red cap, jeans and gaiters, made observations as he walked. "Aman would burn a thousand calories an hour in conditions like this," he said, looking around. He scuffed his feet in the snow, trying to get a sense of the footing Otzi had for his final steps. He looked at the mist, mist in which a man could, perhaps, disappear.
At 65, Pirpamer still has the light, sure step of an experienced mountain guide, though his hair and beard are as white as the flowers of the mountain avens that grow on the slopes below. He led the way to a stone obelisk that marks the site of the discovery. The obelisk's precise placement was dictated primarily by the desire to make it visible to tourists in the valley below. The actual site of the find is about 75 yards away, marked by a splotch of red paint on a boulder.
It was easy to speculate about how Otzi had come to this place and died. Perhaps he was a shepherd returning to a village in the valley below from winter pastures. Maybe another village had raided his home. Maybe another man had taken his wife during his absence. He could have encountered a battle. He could have lost his bow and arrows and fled with only his dagger and copper ax. He might have stopped somewhere to cut another bow and new arrows. His enemies might have pursued him, forcing him to seek refuge higher up, in summer pastures.
