Nova Scotia Dept. Of Environment And Labor Provides Environmental Assessment Guide
|in News Departments
Nova Scotia's Department of Environment and Labor has released the "Proponent's Guide to Wind Power Projects: Guide for preparing an Environmental Assessment Registration Document."
The manual, which provides information on documents and information required of developers who seek environmental approval for wind power projects, also includes detailed explanations of project considerations and possible obstacles, such as weather conditions, effects on wildlife, socioeconomic objections, and visual and noise impact.
"Through the use of this guide, the proponent can ensure that issues associated with wind power projects have been considered prior to the submission of the EA Registration Document (EA document), in order to avoid delays in the EA process," the guide's introduction notes. "Proponents with thoroughly prepared EA documents are less likely to be required by the Minister to submit additional information once the EA process has begun."
The guide can be downloaded at gov.ns.ca/enla/ea/docs/EAGuideWindPower.pdf.

Well this is making this unplayable. I did't even hit the stockpile button this time and still zombies everywhere. Plz fix this CH staff.
lol.. so NOT USING THE OPTION caused the problem now?
this game has patched like 50 times, and yet it's the CH trainer causing all the problems..right? I see...
we aren't FIXING or CHANGING THE TRAINER.
and due to this last post, likely the stockpile option will be removed at the next patch. you can thank alex hart for his super helpful contribution to our decision process.
[Edited by Caliber, 12/3/2013 8:53:52 AM]
To make up for Alex Hart's brilliant, informative, and ever so helpful post, I'm donating an extra ten bucks solely for the experience this trainer has on the game. I wouldn't have enjoyed it otherwise. I do hope the stockpile thing can be figured out down the line, possibly as a workaround by including the materials in containers via a key for easy access. If it doesn't pan out though, I'm not too worried. I greatly appreciate the work that went into this trainer.
If anyone has helpful input that isn't complaining about the trainer, I'd love to hear it. People are talking about mods but I don't see links, just complaints.
[Edited by alex_hart1986, 12/4/2013 12:45:15 AM]
I hav now run across another little niggleWhen i press Num 9 for stockpile, it incresed my influenceI have not changed the trainer from defaultWhat am i not doing right
Infinite durability are not working, actually everything is breaking or jamming pretty fast, any advice?
Infinite durability works, but there's a catch to it.
When you're looting an area and you find a weapon/gun you must have the option off before you take it or it will be triggered as damaged once you take it.
Same thing when you're depositing weapons in your locker, have the option OFF, and turn it back on.

|Changing patterns of medication use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in a Medicaid population.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18499716 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To examine changes in patterns of medication utilization in patients with RA. METHODS: Data from Tennessee Medicaid (TennCare) databases (1995-2004) were used to identify adults with both a diagnosis of RA and at least one DMARD prescription each year. Annual age-specific utilization of DMARDs, glucocorticoids, NSAIDs and narcotics was measured on the last day of each year to determine the point prevalence of use of these agents. RESULTS: Records from 23 342 patients with treated RA were analysed. Most patients were females (78%) and white (74%). The median age was 57 yrs (interquartile range: 48-65). The proportion of patients who had a current DMARD prescription on the index date increased from 62% in 1995 to 71% in 2004 (P < 0.001). MTX was the most commonly used DMARD. By the end of 2004, 22% of patients had a current prescription for a biologic, and etanercept represented 51% of all biologic therapies. During the study period, the overall utilization of glucocorticoids decreased from 46% to 38% (P < 0.001), whereas NSAID utilization increased from 33% to 38% (P < 0.001), and use of narcotics increased from 38% to 55% (P < 0.001). A secondary analysis that identified RA patients based on diagnosis codes alone, showed similar patterns, but lower DMARD utilization which increased from 33% to 52% overall and from 0% to 16% for biologics. CONCLUSIONS: The utilization of DMARDs increased in TennCare patients with RA, and by 2004, use of biologics was substantial. Although glucocorticoid utilization decreased, use of both NSAIDs and narcotics increased.

Five years ago this Sunday, many looked on as wind, rain, and floods devastated our country's Gulf Coast. Afterward, many also looked for an opportunity to help.
Among them were Nicholas Connor and Dennis Bertken, who both witnessed the destruction in 2005 and thought we all could do better. They shared a belief that people should be better prepared to handle such disasters. The two quickly joined forces and founded a company called LifeGear, which provides high-quality equipment like backpacks, flashlights, and accessory kits for people in emergencies.
Today the company operates in 80,000 storefronts throughout the U.S. and brings in millions of dollars in revenue each year. As the fifth anniverary of Hurricane Katrina approaches, LifeGear CEO Nicholas Connor and President Dennis Bertken talked to Inc. reporter Evan Klonsky about their distinctive origins and how far they've come since Katrina.
Q: Hurricane Katrina demonstrated just how unprepared people are for disasters. At what point during the course of those events were you two inspired to start the company?
Connor: The true inspiration for the company is the result of the two of us watching the tragedy of Katrina unfold. Watching it on TV, being exposed to suffering and the damage in the area, we asked ourselves, "How can a country like America have citizens that were not able to fare better during this time?"
Bertken: What we found out by doing a little bit of research was that in America we are very quick at hitting the alarm button. But as you can see, following Katrina, we are also very quick at hitting the snooze button. I was in San Diego at the time and like a lot of Americans, I remember watching on TV with total dismay of how this could possibly be happening. The image that resonated with me more than anything was seeing people trapped in their attic; only the people who had flashlights could be seen and rescued.
The only way to reach people was to integrate safety into products that they were going to buy anyway. If there was an emergency, the products people have at their homes and at work could help them in those situations.
Q: How long did it take to come up with the business plan and get the company on its feet?
Bertken: The company launched our first invention, the PSD 6n1, shortly after Katrina. We had this concept that was a crank-powered flashlight with a radio, a phone charger, and an emergency siren that all ran off of quad power.
Connor: We started in Dillard's department store in Little Rock. By the end of October 2005 we had an order for 15,000 units. Within the first six months we were doing over six million in revenue and hadn't hired an employee. We knew that innovation was going to have to be a key factor. We've launched one new product a month every month since 2005.
Q: Even though the company was born from one of our country's most tragic failures, and that's a unique experience, how would you advise other small-business owners to emulate your success?
Connor: A lot of start-up companies try to gain traction based on a good idea or good value. What Dennis and I learned very quickly was that what you deliver has to be almost exclusively market driven. If there's a problem and you see a solution, you have to know what is going to make that product get off the shelves. We did a lot of homework before we went to big retailers like Target, to make sure we fit into their total business.
Bertken: Address a real need in the market place. Stay focused. It's really easy to become distracted, and as an entrepreneur, you can see yourself wandering in many directions. We have always been very committed to LifeGear. We want to make sure that every product has the value that we see integrated into it.
Connor: The last thing I would say is run fast. It seems like every good idea has someone behind you who wants to knock it off. The true value of a brand is in the intellectual property. That can be diluted very quickly if your innovations are knocked off by other products if you don't patent them.
Q: Five years later, would you say Americans are now more educated and prepared to handle emergency and disaster situations?
Bertken: Absolutely. Some of these people may not realize that sitting in their kitchen drawers at home, there are emergency preparedness products.
The success of the company has reached well in excess of 20 million customers in the last 12 months alone. Now we're expanding into Latin America, Canada, Japan, Europe, and Australia. As a result of our products being in the market, people are definitely more prepared.

My Patient Has Hip Pain—Are My Assessment Procedures Effective?
J Amer Chiropr Assoc 2011 July;48(5):15-17
|Abstract: Evidence in Action shows how practitioners can combine their background and experience with helpful elements from the literature for best patient outcome.
A 55-year old man enters your practice with a complaint of hip, thigh, and low-back pain.
Condition History
Weight-bearing increases his hip pain, causing him to limp slightly. Walking provides relief for his low back, but aggravates his hip. There is no posterior thigh or leg pain. However, his hip pain seems to travel to the anterior thigh.
Physical Examination
Can I use this study to help my patient?
Review of the Maslowski et al. article
Neither researchers nor patients were blinded to any aspect of this study. All physicians utilizing the diagnostic maneuvers were reportedly employing them in the same manner. However, no standardization process was reported.
Results: Investigators reported sensitivity values (how good a test is at detecting IAHP) at 0.88-0.91 for IROP and 0.81-0.82 for FABER. Sensitivity for the Stinchfield and Scour tests was poor. Specificity values (how good a test is at ruling out IAHP) for all tests were low. Positive and negative predictive values (how well tests predict response to intra-articular injection) were also low for all tests.
Sensitivity values of 0.8 or more are considered good for these types of tests. A value in the 0.8 – 0.9 range means the test is good to excellent at indicating the presence of a condition when positive. The results in this study indicate that the FABER and IROP tests were fairly good at detecting IAHP, but the Scour and Stinchfield tests were not.
Confidence intervals (CI's) for the two most sensitive tests were 0.57-0.96 (FABER) and 0.67-0.99 (IROP). One can think of a CI as predicting the value if the study were performed again, or as an indicator of the variability of the data in this study. These indicate that FABER and IROP demonstrated mild to high sensitivity in this study.
Conclusion: Based on these results, the authors concluded that the IROP and FABER tests were sensitive enough to recommend for use when evaluating patients with potential IAHP but not for predicting response to intra-articular injection. The Scour and Stinchfield tests were not recommended as useful for IAHP evaluation because their sensitivity and specificity values were low. When found to be negative, none of the four tests were effective at ruling out an intra-articular pain generator.
Limitations: All patients in this study presented a clinical picture consistent with an intra-articular pain source. Because this patient population was pre-selected in this manner, one should not assume the sensitivity of the studied tests is equal in a general or first-exposure hip pain population.
Low-back pain leading to pain in the hip region was not specifically evaluated in this study. Therefore, patients with spine-related conditions were not excluded from participation. Including these patients could confound results.
Key clinical information including symptom duration, history of injury, and the presence of mechanical symptoms was not collected, nor was information regarding the location of pain before and after injection, which could have further defined the source of pain and the utility of injections. Finally, the injection volume (10 ml) was large enough to potentially overflow the joint space, which can reduce pain in extra-articular tissue, leading to potential false negative and false positive results.
Are the study findings applicable to this patient?
You may decide to search for sensitivity and specificity values for other common evaluation maneuvers. Using the PubMed search terms hip, manual, diagnosis and predictive, you can find an article by Youdas et. al. that examines the Trendelenburg test as a potential tool for identifying patients with hip osteoarthritis.2
What is your decision?
Description of tests and key terms:
Stinchfield: "…performed with the subject supine. The tested leg was raised to 300of hip flexion with the knee in full extension. The subject held his or her leg in place while the examiner exerted downward force proximal to the knee…"
Scour: "…performed with the subject supine. The affected hip was maximally flexed and adducted. Then, with a compressive force applied to the joint in the direction of the shaft of the femur, the examiner moved the femur through a circular arc of motion…"
IROP: "…performed with the subject supine. The affected hip was flexed to 900 and the knee flexed to 900. The examiner internally rotated the hip by rotating the leg laterally while stabilizing the knee at the same time. Internal rotation overpressure was administered with further gentle rotation of the ipsilateral leg. The pelvis was stabilized , when necessary, by the examiner's other hand at the contralateral anterior superior iliac spine to reduce contralateral ilial rotation…"
Confidence Interval: "the computed interval with a given probability, e.g., 95%, that the true value of a variable… is contained within the interval."3

Even more evidence that spicy food is becoming more and more popular — grandma wants me to make jalapeno poppers for Christmas this year. Jalapeno poppers don't need to be overly spicy, but they often have enough of a heat kick to make the tongue stand up and take notice. And when grandma wants poppers, you know they must be good.
I love that spicy food, especially chili peppers, is becoming more and more common. Demand is on the rise as world awareness grows about chili peppers. With the rise of the "superhots", which are chili peppers that surpass the heat of the mighty habanero pepper, curiosity is at an all time high. Habanero peppers typically measure in at around 300,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), but a new spate of chili peppers has left the habanero in the dust.
Consider this list of superhot chili peppers:
Bhut Jolokia: 1,001,304 Scovilles. Now, truly the hottest chili pepper around!
7-Pot Chili Pepper – Over 1 Million Scovilles. The heat of the 7-Pot pepper is similar to the Bhut Jolokia but with a more fruity and nutty flavor, like other Caribbean peppers. It is becoming more popular and well-known among chile-heads, but the seeds are very rare and hard to find.
Gibralta/Spanish Naga Chili Pepper – 1,086,844 Scovilles. The Gibralta Naga, or Spanish Naga, is of course grown in Spain, but was developed in the UK from Indian chili peppers.
Infinity Chili Pepper – 1,176,182 Scovilles. Created in England by Nick Woods of "Fire Foods," the Infinity Chili pepper held the World Record for the world's hottest chili pepper for two weeks in 2011, before it was ousted by the Naga Viper chili.
New Mexico Scorpion – 1,191,595 Scovilles. A New Mexico-based team has developed a super-hot chile known as the "New Mexico Scorpion" The New Mexico Scorpion has been rated at 1,191,595 Scoville Heat Units by an independent laboratory.
Naga Viper – 1,382,118 Scovilles. The Naga Viper (capsicum chinense) has been rated at 1,382,118 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), according to tests conducted by the Warwick HRI Mineral Analysis Laboratory, UK, in November 2010.
Trinidad Scorpion Butch T – 1,463,700 Scovilles. The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T has been rated at 1,463,700 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), according to recent tests. It was propagated by Butch Taylor of Zydeco Hot Sauce and grown by the Chilli Factory.
Dorset Naga Chili Pepper – 1 million- 1.5 million Scovilles. (Capsicum Chinense) Development of the Dorset Naga began near Dorset, England, around 2001 when Joy and Michael Michaud of "Peppers by Post" bought a Naga Morich plant from an Oriental foods store in southern England.
Chocolate 7-Pot Chili Pepper – Recently tested between 923,000 and 1.85 million Scovilles, with an average of 1,169,058. Only the Moruga Scorpion scored higher. It is suspected that it could reach 2 million in the future.
Trinidad Moruga Scorpion – 2,009,231 Scovilles. In February 2012, he 2012 New Mexico Chile Conference, in association with Jim Duffy of Refining Fire Chiles, announced that the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is the hottest chili pepper in the world. Clocking in at 2,009,231 Scoville Units, this chili pepper is beyond blistering.
Learn More from our List of Chili Peppers and Their Heat Levels.
But truly, chili peppers don't need to be blistering hot to enjoy them, which brings me back full circle to the wonderful jalapeno pepper. Without them, you can't make one of life's greatest treats – the jalapeno popper, so great that yes, even grandma wants them for her holiday meal.

I have a peculiar situation. I tried
with a simple code using Java Mail API. I can send
messages but not able to retrieve messages from INBOX.
After logining into Exchange Server 5.5 via JavaMail it indicates that there are no messages in the INBOX. But there sure are messages in my INBOX via Outlook.
There are no exceptions of anykind.
Same result via pop3 or IMAP protocol settings.
So it is more to do with configuring Exchange Server
to allow viewing of INBOX messages, I guess.
Any help will be appreciated.

I support Iowa's better bottle bill that now is before the Iowa Senate. I was on vacation in Alabama recently, and we had to throw away all of our beverage containers, which is such a tragedy.
Our bottle bill is the absolute best thing Iowa did for our environment and now it is time to modernize the original law to include water bottles and other popularly consumed non-carbonated beverage containers.
I would encourage all Iowans to visit www.IowaBottleBill.com and contact their state senators to support this important modernization plan.
It's good for our economy, it's good for our environment and it's good for keeping Iowa beautiful.

NHL Yourself let users insert their face into a vintage hockey card to use as a profile picture. Over the course of two NHL seasons and multiple updates to the app, I created a series of hockey card templates in the distinct styles of various NHL eras. Each of those templates required 30+ unique variations, one for every current and vintage team.
The application itself was updated several times from 2009 to 2011. New card templates were added, variations were created, and new user options such as background colours and facial hair options were implemented.

Wikileaks' Julian Assange and Conspiracy Theories
"I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud." Julian Asange, Wikileaks, July 19 (Image right)
John Young was one of the co-founders of Wikileaks. He quickly left the organization in disagreement with some of its policies (CNET). Young was a natural choice for Wikileaks since he has operated a leak website, CRYPTOME, since 1996. His site just released two articles on July 31 attributed to Wikileaks' Julian Assange (firstname.lastname@example.com). The announcement read:
I Don't Believe - more truth in a single song that we've goten out of our establishment since 9/11
"This is one thing that I was going to wait awhile before we talked about, but maybe we'll talk about it now so you can think about it, because you all, we all, have to make some kind of plans for ourselves. It's a free world we live in here. That doesn't mean that anything goes, what that means is we're going to put the truth up here for all to see.
"Now, let's face the situation. We've millions and millions of people awakening to the truth. Many, many more than some had dreamt or thought would be possible. We're going to need each other to help each other to work this out, because we're taxing the very systems that we as a society have constructed.
"We're going to be bringing out the information. But, the one major thing you have to remember from here out, when you go back out to the wilderness to go to sleep or if you stay here to learn more, is that the man next to you is your brother. And you damn well better treat each other that way because if you don't, then we blow the whole thing, but we've got it, right there."
Key October Surprise Evidence Hidden by Robert Parry
An example of State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADS) - Conspiracy if you will ...
Does the name "Lee Hamilton" ring a bell? Could author Robert Parry be drawing the wrong conclusion here?
Key October Surprise Evidence Hidden
By Robert Parry (A Special Report)
May 6, 2010
A Russian government report, which corroborated allegations that Ronald Reagan's presidential campaign interfered with President Jimmy Carter's Iran-hostage negotiations in 1980, was apparently kept from the Democratic chairman of a congressional task force that investigated the charges a dozen years later.
Lee Hamilton, then a congressman from Indiana in charge of the task force, told me in a recent interview, "I don't recall seeing it," although he was the one who had requested Moscow's cooperation in the first place and the extraordinary Russian report was addressed to him.
The discussion carries on to Facebook
I posted the new Deception Dollars on Facebook, and my friend Meridith, who lives in NYC, wrote.
You will not let go of this, will you?
To which I replied:
Well the murderers would like me to, but the crime has never been solved. Murderers usually like it when the investigation of a crime is covered up, and that fact itself is largely ignored. I'm not interested in doing things that mass murderers would approve of, even if it occasionally annoys people who, like them, would rather the matter be quietly left to drop.
If it weren't for the fact that the 9/11 crime led to two other much bigger crimes (wars), where people continue to be killed without justification every single day, while we sit here comfortably in the seat of power that's causing all the mayhem, than maybe I could "let it go".
Mysterious Deaths of 9/11 Witnesses
I knew of Barry Jennings and Dan Wallace, but I didn't realize there were so many other 9/11 eyewitnesses or family members who challenged the official story only to meet an early death.
Coincidence? Conspiracy?
The Ultimate proof NIST is lying about WTC7
The Ultimate proof NIST is lying about WTC7 Over 1,000 Professional Architects and Engineers agree that the mysterious collapses of WTC Building 7 and the Twin Towers on 9/11/01 need to be re-examined and investigated.

"Conspiracy or cock up?" White House reaction to ersatz bomber
The underpants bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, is a curious terrorist. He became disillusioned with his privileged life as the son of a bank chairman and member of the Nigerian elite, it would seem. Rather than pursuing his studies in London, he retreated to Yemen to learn the ways of al Qaeda inspired terrorism.
Farouk was so indiscreet that his father reported him to the U.S. Embassy as a potential terrorist in November. A month later, he managed to get on a jumbo jet headed for Detroit to complete a terror mission. Despite his training in engineering at the prestigious London School of Economics, Farouk failed in his mission. He couldn't mix his explosives to achieve the desired effect. He apparently forgot to detonate the explosive device in mid flight, waiting until just before landing in Detroit to start his task. He retrieved and set off the chemicals to create the explosion in full view of passengers.
What kind of terrorist is this? He doesn't know when, how or where to conduct his criminal enterprise.

Countdown: Detroit bomber intel failure: 'Conspiracy or cock up?'
By Diana Sweet
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 -- 7:55 am
On Monday evening's edition of MSNBC's Countdown with host Keith Olbermann, guest Richard Wolffe discusses the nation's intelligence gathering associated with the Flight 253 'underpants bomber,' Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, and serious questions that have risen about whether or not there was foul play, information intentionally withheld, or a conspiracy involved.
Wolffe is a journalist, MSNBC political analyst, and author of the Barack Obama book Renegade: The Making of a President.
Excuse me, but shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself?
Earlier today, my dear friend Edward accused me of "spitting in the face of American citizens who were truly affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks" since I am publicly demanding a real investigation into exactly what happened in our country on September 11, 2001. While Edward is a pretty smart guy most of the time, lately he has been getting a few things dead wrong. The point of this blog is to help Edward, and others, discover that they are actually the ones "spitting in the face of American citizens who were truly affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks" through their deafening silence and blind faith in the U.S. Government and Mainstream Media. To clarify this point, let's learn a little more about the families who lost loved ones that fateful September morning.

Indian Probe Blames Mosque Attack on Hindu Leaders
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: November 24, 2009
Filed at 12:19 p.m. ET
NEW DELHI (AP) -- An Indian government investigation released Tuesday into the 1992 demolition of a mosque by a raging mob reportedly accused top Hindu nationalist politicians of complicity in the attack that sparked nationwide ethnic riots, leaving 2,000 people dead.
The scathing report, handed to parliament 17 years after the attack, exposed the painful religious divide plaguing a nation that prides itself as a model of a multiethnic, secular democracy.

Fort Hood Shooting 'Oddities' - compiled by Lori Price
Lori Price is monitoring reports on the Fort Hood shooting. Many media reports have only mentioned Maj. Nidal Hasan as the shooter; however, others have reported:
"A second gunman is in custody after a shooting at the Army's Fort Hood in Texas in which at least seven people were killed and 12 wounded, reports KCEN-TV of Waco. The report comes about two hours after a first suspect was captured, shortly after gunfire broke out. Authorities say the gunmen were dressed in fatigues, though it's not confirmed whether they are military personnel."
"A senior officer who was playing golf Thursday near Fort Hood, Texas, told CNN he witnessed the arrest of one of the two surviving suspects of the shooting at the Army installation."
"Federal law enforcement officials say the suspected Fort Hood, Texas, shooter had come to their attention at least six months ago because of Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings and other threats."
"42 people shot by Army psychiatrist, promoted to Army Major in May. 12 killed; 30 wounded --US Official: Shooter was Major Malik Nadal Hasan"
Fort Hood Shooting 'Oddities'
Daniel Bland's Open Letter to Charlie Sheen:
Let me begin by expressing my gratitude and respect for your honorable decision to turn up the heat on this evil conspiracy which has invaded our country from within our own borders. You are a very brave man, and deserve the respect of every true blooded American citizen!
They pay you to teach?
Response to:
Anthony DiMaggio
Conspiracy, Inc.: Wild Tales From the Reactionary Right
You can't even provide a reasonable definition of "conspiracy" in your mindless call to ignorance. I also strongly detest your guilt by association approach, as if we are all alike, all incredible, all in the same category because you say so. The smear that people who call out government complicity and cover-up must be from the "reactionary right" is worthy of the drooling neanderthals you hoped to lampoon.
If you had a dictionary handy, you might have learned that conspiracy is any crime involving multiple parties. It's one of the most prosecuted charges in the US by the justice department (sic).
We are to take it -- from you -- a priori that the government never commits crimes. People in the white house, for example, never agree to break the law.
Large mountains of empirical evidence dispute this "theory" you posit. Your position is laughable on its face, of course, and your rant is gibberish.

Largest Iraq bombing in two years may have been inside job
By David Edwards and Daniel Tencer
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 -- 9:50 am
Sunday's twin suicide bombings in Baghdad that killed at least 155 people and wounded 500 others may have had help from within Iraq's security apparatus, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow reported Monday.
"This was a really well coordinated attack on an area in Baghdad that's supposed to be well protected," Maddow told viewers. "In order to reach their targets, the bombers driving these truck bombs had to pass through several checkpoints that were guarded by security forces and those security forces were supposed to be using hand-held devices designed to detect explosives."

I'm crying for joy right now!!
*fingers crossed for vray4c4d compatibility*
Looks like no physical renderer, sketch/toon, xrefs, or 3rd party shader/object/poste effects plugins supported. But still… really cool for what it is, and hopefully it'll only get better! GPU acceleration and CUDA utilization would be an amazing addition.

Journal of Biology 2010, 9:9 doi:10.1186/jbiol216Published: 11 February 2010
The TSC-22 domain family (TSC22DF) consists of putative transcription factors harboring a DNA-binding TSC-box and an adjacent leucine zipper at their carboxyl termini. Both short and long TSC22DF isoforms are conserved from flies to humans. Whereas the short isoforms include the tumor suppressor TSC-22 (Transforming growth factor-β1 stimulated clone-22), the long isoforms are largely uncharacterized. In Drosophila, the long isoform Bunched A (BunA) acts as a growth promoter, but how BunA controls growth has remained obscure.
In order to test for functional conservation among TSC22DF members, we expressed the human TSC22DF proteins in the fly and found that all long isoforms can replace BunA function. Furthermore, we combined a proteomics-based approach with a genetic screen to identify proteins that interact with BunA. Madm (Mlf1 adapter molecule) physically associates with BunA via a conserved motif that is only contained in long TSC22DF proteins. Moreover, Drosophila Madm acts as a growth-promoting gene that displays growth phenotypes strikingly similar to bunA phenotypes. When overexpressed, Madm and BunA synergize to increase organ growth.
The growth-promoting potential of long TSC22DF proteins is evolutionarily conserved. Furthermore, we provide biochemical and genetic evidence for a growth-regulating complex involving the long TSC22DF protein BunA and the adapter molecule Madm.

|Carbon monoxide and lethal arrhythmias in conscious dogs with a healed myocardial infarction.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2916409 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Environmental studies suggested that exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) increases cardiovascular mortality among patients with coronary artery disease. We investigated whether, in dogs with a healed anterior myocardial infarction at low and high risk for ventricular fibrillation, acute exposure to CO has adverse effects during acute myocardial ischemia combined with exercise. One month after myocardial infarction, 17 dogs had ventricular fibrillation and 16 survived during the combined exercise and ischemia test. These tests were then repeated in all dogs with different concentrations of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) (from 5% to 15%). With 15% COHb, heart rate (HR) at rest and during exercise was higher (p less than 0.05) than in the control tests. Surprisingly, the reflex HR response to acute ischemia was also altered; namely, the HR reduction characteristic of the low-risk animals was anticipated and accentuated (-31 +/- 25 versus 2 +/- 30 beats/min, p less than 0.05). Conversely, the HR increase characteristic of the high-risk group was reduced by CO (44 +/- 52 versus 72 +/- 43 beats/min, p less than 0.05). With 15% COHb, malignant arrhythmias occurred in two of the low-risk dogs and in none of the high-risk dogs. In the latter, CO was tested with a combination of exercise work load and myocardial ischemia duration not associated with ventricular fibrillation (VF) in the control condition. This study demonstrated that brief exposure to CO (1) profoundly alters the reflex HR response to exercise and to acute myocardial ischemia and (2) does not enhance the occurrence of malignant arrhythmias in conscious dogs with a healed myocardial infarction.

Now he sits in a 6-by-8 foot cell at the Montgomery City Jail with three other inmates for companions.
Gilley's conditions are described in court papers filed by his attorney, who's trying to get him out of jail before his trial June 6 on conspiracy and bribery charges.
Attorney Doug Jones says Gilley can't sleep because of noise, including inmates banging on the bars.
And he says Gilley needs to be back home in Enterprise because his wife is ill.
A federal judge has not indicated when he will rule.

After spending decades studying the history of social welfare and poverty in American cities, University of Pennsylvania history professor Michael B. Katz has a new book out titled Why Don't American Cities Burn?
The book, which traces the experience of African-Americans in the American city, begins with a murder and ends with a dilemma.
Herbert Manes' parents migrated to Philadelphia from South Carolina before World War II. Manes attended Benjamin Franklin High School. He drove a gypsy cab.
Robert Monroe, known as Shorty, was born in Neptune, N.J. It's unclear how Shorty also wound up in North Philly, eking out a living in the shadow economy of the hood as a street mechanic.
Manes had borrowed $5 from Shorty, and didn't have it on him when Shorty demanded it back. On Aug. 4, 2005, Manes stabbed Shorty to death on the 1400 block of West Oakland Street.
Katz was juror No. 3 in the murder trial.
The role of a juror is an uncomfortable one for a historian and social scientist. "In my world, where the goal is to comprehend rather than to judge," wrote Katz, "context matters greatly."
The jury interpreted Manes' action as self-defense; he was acquitted. But after the trial, Katz couldn't stop thinking about the wider context that created a situation in which one man could kill another over the price of a latte. So he began reconstructing the context of Shorty's death, which led to what Publisher's Weekly called "a defining history of Post-Nixon transformations of America's welfare state."
What Katz found, in short, is a story of failure.
In the United States, which has the highest incarceration rate in the world, one in three black men aged 20 to 29 are serving time in jail or otherwise under state supervision on any given day, according to the Sentencing Project. That's roughly the same percentage of white men with bachelor's degrees. The difference in black and white college graduation rates was wider in 2000 than in 1940.
Katz writes that for the most part, segregation was much higher in 2000 than in 1860, 1910 or 1930. According to a survey drawing numbers from the 2010 Census, Philadelphia ranks 9th in segregation by race, and according to a Stanford University study published just last week, we're the third most financially segregated metropolitan area in the country.
In his book, Katz quotes the bottom-line findings of urban scholars: "The fundamental reality is one of growing economic segregation in the context of overall rising inequality. People of different income classes are moving away from each other not just in how much income they have but also in where they live. America is breaking down into economically homogenous enclaves."
In other words, we're becoming a nation of bankers and butlers. Occupiers call it the 99 percent vs. the 1 percent. Katz and like-minded academics call it "the dual city."
Since all data reveals that the inequality that motivated riots of the 1960s and early 1970s has only gotten worse, why then, Katz wonders, has no one lit the match?
"Why is it that black men who are unable to leave bleak, inner-city neighborhoods have turned their rage inward on one another and not, as they did 40 and 50 years ago, on the agents and symbols of a politics, culture and economy that exclude them from first-class citizenship?"
Katz looks for answers in the relationship between black men and the labor market. He tackles the myth about the role of deindustrialization affecting black men and the labor market in Northeastern cities. It's a cliche recycled in many a newspaper article that begins something like, "Drug dealers sling their trade in the shadows of the factories that employed their grandparents and parents."
"Deindustrialization is way overblown as a cause of lack of black opportunity and poverty because certainly in Philadelphia, and most other cities with the exception of a few places like Detroit and maybe Chicago, manufacturing employment was not the major employment of African-Americans," says Katz, adding that the data shows that most African-American men worked in the service industry and the public sector.
Disenfranchisement "has a way of depoliticizing people, zapping their energy for the kinds of collective action," says Katz. "Then you put on top of that the drug economy and … it adds up to a picture of people who are angry and disaffected, and take out that anger on themselves. We really don't see targets."
Katz also spends a lot of time on differentiation, which he characterizes as a profound paradox of inequality. Differentiation—the process in which some African-Americans have succeeded despite institutional biases stacked against them—is an "engine" of inequality that paradoxically produces what seems like proof of equality.
"Here's some answers: Of course black-on-black crime is rampant, but black-on-white crime is absolutely out of control. There's your riot. Maybe the problems aren't with "the man keeping a brotha down". Maybe the problem is within. Maybe after decades of these people being raised with no morals and a sense of entitlement, the problem is inherent in the African American. If you keep promoting that the issue is within the system, these people don't even try to better themselves. You, sir, are part of the problem."
"Disagree with a few points...I remember that in the 60s most Black men worked in the auto factories and other manufacturing.
Also you don't see riots in major cities because Black inner city residents have realized that the situation become worse after riots when businesses that did hire nearby residents leave, never to return"
"Dependance on welfare and government assistance
Lack of education
Lack of leaders that do not blame "the man", whites, the system, etc...
Lack of a family unit (no fathers/1 parent families)
High rate of illegitimate children
High drug use
Most adult males in jail or ex-convicts
Lack of successful role models that are accepted by the general black population who are not entertainers or sports figures. Successful role models are labeled "Uncle Tom's" and sellouts to the general population.
High rate of moral decay and lack of conscience
At the end of the day, in the ghetto there is a lack of self worth and no sense of hard work to get an education and be successful....
"Typical liberal nonsense. If making excuses was a profession, liberals would all be Bill Gates. It is nobody's fault but their own. End of story."
"Certainly won't answer this question if folks are responding by saying "these people" The answer is so deep that it will never be really adressed in America so "we" need to start making our own answers, stop complaining and get the economic power that is the only true liberation in this country. Because, at the end of the day nobody gives a s---!"
"The author is spot on. White people molest kids their entire life and get 5 yrs. Black people do...... and get life in prison. Go figure. Glad our planet decides fate by karma."
"At the end of the day blah blah blah blah tell that to the educated looking for jobs right now. Whites lose their job and commit suicide. Blacks just get another job or make more money selling meth, which possession is still a minor crime."
"1. Dependence on Mummy and Duhddy
2. Lack of family unit. 75% of marriages end in divorce. Blacks don't get married, remember?
3. Most educated people in America, most in debt because of the tradition but there's always "equivalent experience" if you're not educated. see 4 and 7.
4. High drug use. Meth is the most used drug in America.
5. Most adult males molest kids.
6. Lack of successful role models. Most come from Europe.
7. High rate of suicide. see 4 and 5.
8. At the end of the day...... see jemimah post."
"Unfortunately, the problems identified by Professor Katz's in this interesting article represents the tragic consequences of brutual "white" racism acutely directed towards blacks in excess of several centuries. As a group, blacks have not succesfully nor effectively diminished the adverse effects of the pangs of institutional racism as other groups (Asians, Jews and various victims of white oppression). Inasmuch as individual blacks have excelled maugre the racist trammel, unless and until blacks, in general, incorporate discipline, determination and self-control in their personal deportment they will alwalys be a people manque since white racism will never stop gestating."
"Most blacks are obtusely satisfied, proud and enjoy their status as a conquered people living in America and, consequently, have relinguished any hopes of procuring the best in what this country has to offer them. Relatively speaking, that is why Afro-Americans are not "rioting". They have culled to follow the least line of resistance and declare an armistice with mediocrity."
"When Americans talk about race we speak about hypocracy, entitlement, malaise and often engage in generalizations and stereotypes. I do not expect that we will have the courage to objectively confront this domestic and historical issue as was repremanded by the Attorney General Eric Holder. This issue makes us defensive and causes us to pick sides but no matter what side we prefer the poor and oppressed are fellow citizens. It is tax dollars that fund jails, police, welfare, low income housing and no matter how much we cut the last two the former two will likely continue to increase. So it is in the country's interest to confront these issues so that they may be remedied and we can all move on."
"After reading the comments its nice to know racism continues to be alive & well and rampant. Before you decide that your opinion really merits sharing you should look at a little history. Maybe spend some time with the people, neighborhoods and communities that you malign without understanding or comprehension. Maybe ask some of these young men about their history and stories.
Generational poverty, inequality and racism (both personal and institutional) along with drugs and inadequate (and sometimes misguided) social policy has led to the situation we see in cities. All the other symptoms (single-family households, rates of incarceration, negative role models, etc.) that those spouting racist diatribes point to can be attributed to these interrelated factors."
"Black people are just as prejudice against white people. However, they may not have access to computers to the same degree as racist white people."
"The comments here make philly dot com commenters look like Rhodes scholars. Why allow comments at all? Go post your racist bullshit on stormfront dot org."
"As a black person I would like to say this... I have done my research on why my people behave the way they do. I am 35 yrs old at the age I am I grew up watching my niegborhood get weaker and less productive year after year. I have learned that around the 80's is when crack became a major problem in our community's but how did that stuff get in my people's hands from the gate? My people don't own plains... In order for that stuff to have gotten here it had to be a middle man. Whom had to be of high rank to pull it off. Our niegborhoods were designed to be corrupted. Delis on corners selling beer early in the day drugs infested our homes the job market was maid less accessible due to poor education do you all think that's a mistake ? I think not... I truly belive all the ignorance my people see day in and out was do e purposely for us to stay Inslaved in this paradox we call home. Everytime we have a positive leader they get killed or exsposed in a negative lite. But don't take my word."
"If Philly is "corrupt and contented" then the black community is "ghetto fabulous". What NEEDS to be addressed is a total crisis in parenting within 13% of American society, which is unfortunately concentrated in our urban centers, thus having a disportunate effect on American culture (look at any other nation and tell me if the culture of 13% of their citizens makes up over 60% of their music and media?). Furthermore, the claim of racism and segregation is based on an outdated model, and Katz's concepts of economic segregation obviously does not draw on the failures of black leadership in cities like DC, Baltimore, and Atlanta, where blacks not only controlled municipal government, but education and business and still couldn't keep pace with places like San Jose or Seattle where race wasn't a prerequisite (that's right, I'm talking about a blatant double standard in racism existing in towns where afro-americans cannot be legitimately called a "minority")."

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- Pre-kindergarten programs in West Virginia will be required to offer children one daily meal beginning in the fall of 2010.
The state board of education approved the requirement Thursday.
It applies to both school-based programs and programs operated by churches and day care centers.
Programs must offer either breakfast or lunch.
Clayton Burch with the state department of education's office of special programs says free or reduced-priced meals will be offered to children who would qualify for them in elementary or middle schools.

Players are not getting paid for their likeness being in the game because of the lack of names and because they are student athletes.
Missouri defensive lineman Lucas Vincent wouldn't mind getting a free game out of the deal, though.

NASCAR CEO Brian France
- Filed Under
It was his 10-year anniversary as NASCAR's CEO, but Brian France was in no mood to celebrate.
Instead, he was the focus of a hastily called news conference on Sept. 13 at which he assured outraged fans that the sport was taking drastic measures to address the most tainted finish in its history, starting with the extraordinary addition of a 13th driver in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. The move came after Michael Waltrip Racing was ruled to have manipulated the results race at Richmond International Raceway - the race to set the field for the 10-race title playoff - by ordering one of its drivers to ...

Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
So here is one of the old timers who seemed to have a home forever 34 years WOW just think what he has seen. Or would that be just think what he was part of? These folks that have sat in these jobs for years have been making decisions and destroying america. These are the folks that either took part in or watched from the side lines while their buddies stripped away our industrial base, created the housing crash,thrown us into war around the world which in turn has destroyed our economy. And people like this give a parting speech and we are all to feel warm and fuzzy about his sacrifices to civil service. Give me a break today if you have been sitting in that chair for more then 20 years you should be charged with treason against the people and have the key thrown away. These people are responsible for the shape this nations in they will spin it their way and many americans will swallow every word they say. But the facts are the facts these folks are responsible they created the laws they allowed this to happen. But we americans stood by and watched and did nothing but put them right back in each election till now. Time for old fools to leave office they are all millionaires with nothing to lose where a youger person might be hungry and create laws to reverse what these crooks did. Dont know this guy at all but he was there through it all so has to take ownership.
Whatever your opinion of Mr. Skelton's politics, it is hard to deny that his departure is bad news for civil-mlitary relations.
According to U.S. Census Bureau only 10.12 percent of the nation's population (18 and older) has served in the military. Of these veterans 65.2 percent are 55 or older. Compare this to peak of about 19 percent in 1970. As the population continues to grow, the veteran population continues to age, and military participation rates continue to dwindle, this proportion will only decrease.
This general trend can be seen in our national elected bodies as well. Among the 535 member of the 11th Congress 120 have served in the military. While this measure is greater than the proportion among the general population it has been declining (there were 126 in the 110th congress). As the majority of veterans move into retirement it is likely that the percentage of representatives with military experience will continue to decline. Look here for more informaiton on the topic: http://civilmilitarygap.wordpress.com/
The point is that the universe of elected officials with personal experience with the armed force, or who actively engage the armed services in an attempt to build personal understanding, is small and shrinking. We can only hope that those that take his place pay close attention to his farewell warning.

However it came to pass ? pun oh-so-intended ? personalized obits, full of detail and life, are once again popular.
- Filed Under
Decades from now, when my obituary offers far too much detail and leaves you laughing out loud, blame or thank my Grandma Bess.
The woman obsessed over obits in our hometown newspaper, making me snip them out, place them in a small box and help her send sympathy cards to the survivors.
Long before my pals knew what "deceased" meant, I commiserated as Grandma waved obits from her childhood and bemoaned the loss of "death notices that told you something."
One of my favorites, circa 1920, mourned a man who "expired on the dining room floor, clutching his heart and calling out to his family and his maker."
Even at 7, I could imagine the guy collapsing and I was hooked, albeit sad for the people who still had to eat in that dining room.
That's surely why, to this day, I delight in well-written obits that go beyond the "who" and the "when" to the "Wow!" - even when the deceased isn't famous, like Roger Ebert or Annette Funicello, or even well known.
Maybe it's because social media is causing people to reflect on what will be said about them when their Facebook status is no longer updated. Perhaps others, too, had grandmas fond of a flowery funereal phrase.
However it came to pass - pun oh-so-intended - personalized obits, full of detail and life, are once again popular.
Consider father and son James R. Taylor and James R. Taylor II, who died within a day of each other and whose smile-filled notices appeared March 31 in FLORIDA TODAY.
The elder Taylor, a Cocoa Beach resident, met his wife on a blind date when she was a fashion model. He "loved his family, his work, his country and his life."
The son, who died at 60, modeled his tennis serve after "Rocket" Rod Laver and "played doubles with Capote and Sinatra."
Best: "As president of Phi Delt, he threw legendary parties, dumpster-dove for exam answer sheets and conceived infamous pranks involving smoke grenades and a chocolate laxative cake."
Now that, along with the "tan thighs" that drew the younger man's future wife's attention, is some dandy detail.
Harry "Mick" Shortt, father of my colleague Tim Shortt, was memorialized March 31, too.
Shortt's great obit spoke to everything from his helping change the New York City skyline as a construction worker to his suspenders and love of skydiving - in 1961, he survived a 7,200-foot freefall with a bad parachute.
Yes, there's an art to this written celebration of life.
And it hits me: What would I want in my own obit? My friend Marilyn Brackney, who redid her mom's obituary after the funeral director wrote one Marilyn called "dull and lifeless," said she'd describe me as "perceptive and quirky." I love that, but surely there's more.
Do I brag that I once hitched a ride with Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter? Do I mention my love of pop culture, rock music and my nephews? Share that I met my husband, a drummer, when I was thrown on his lap, onstage?
Or do I stay silent? Trust a stranger will scrawl a few kind words about the former reporter whose favorite part of the Oscars was the "In Memoriam" segment?
Hopefully, I have at least 50 years to get something noteworthy in writing. Unlike Mick Shortt, who "wasn't even keen on having an obituary," I want the final say on those last words.
I just don't want to call out for my Grandma Bess anytime soon.
And certainly not from the dining room floor.

It is all too easy these days to achieve good looks, at least if you believe what you read.
We can all have whiter teeth, smoother skin and shinier hair with only a swipe of a credit card and thats only on a lunch hour.
I would be the first to admit I enjoy a little fashion tip when it comes my way, and adding up the amount of money I have spent in my lifetime just trying to maintain blonde hair is definitely something I dont plan to share. Who doesnt love a little lift when it comes to feeling good about what you see in the mirror? The temptation to do anything it takes to chase the elusive youth serum has kept many a company going.
Its no wonder so many women are obsessed with beauty and willing to do almost anything, no matter how painful, to get it.
And thats exactly where our 25 Most Beautiful Women can teach us a thing or two. These women didnt get what theyve got on a lunch break, and no amount of money could purchase it.
The truth is that they have the kind of beauty that you have to work hard to get. After meeting them, from what I can see is it always starts with a big heart that doesnt stop until it is completely emptied into someone else. Read their stories and I think youll agree. Sparkling eyes, a beautiful smile and a big hug are always lovely.
And something you wont find in any jar.
