|PMID: 23421133 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|INTRODUCTION: The cosmetic benefit obtained from the use of lipoic acid in the treatment of different skin disorders related to oxidative stress is compromised by its chemical instability, which complicates the preparation of cosmetic formulations suitable for topical use. Considering that nanoencapsulation increases the stability of lipoic acid, the aim of this study was to develop different semisolid formulations, based on innovative cosmetic ingredients and containing lipoic acid-loaded nanocapsules.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Lipoic acid-loaded nanocapsules (5.0 mg/mL) were prepared by interfacial deposition of the pre-formed polymer and the thickening agents Aristoflex AVC and DC RM2051, used alone or in combination. The formulations were characterized in terms of resistance to centrifugation, pH, lipoic acid content, rheological characteristics and optical parameters determined by multiple light scattering. Also, their stability when subjected to cycles of thermal heating and freezing was evaluated.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The semisolid formulations presented suitable properties for cutaneous administration, with enhanced physicochemical stability, considering the drug content and resistance to centrifugation, being observed for the formulations containing nanocapsules. All of the proposed formulations showed pseudoplastic flow behavior. The nanoencapsulation leads to an increase in the flow indexes. After the stress cycles an improvement in the consistency, particularly for the formulations containing nanocapsules, was observed. According to the results of multiple light scattering analysis, the formulations can be considered stable.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of new cosmetic ingredients, unlike traditional hydrogels, represents a differentiated platform for preparation of stable semisolid formulations containing polymeric nanocapsules, presenting physicochemical properties suitable for topical use.

Editors note: This is another in a series of articles out of California Medical Facility and California State Prison Solano, both located in Vacaville.
VACAVILLE — Primes Harrell was just a couple of days shy of being handed his high school diploma when he got into trouble last year at age 18.
He ended up in a Level II dormitory-style facility at California State Prison Solano, sharing space with hundreds of men – mostly older than him – instead of sharing a place with his buddies for some after-graduation summer fun.
The Vacaville state penitentiary is not where the now-19-year-old from Stockton said he wants to stay. If inmate Cotton Jones has anything to say about it, Harrell will learn the skills he needs to stay out of trouble when he is released next year. And be a productive father to his three young children.
"I'm looking at people (here) who have been (in prison) half of their life," said Harrell, a soft-spoken teen who admitted to fighting a lot while in school. "If I stay here, my kids aren't going to have any respect for me and if I stay here, I won't have a relationship (with them)."
Enter Jones.
Jones, like Harrell, is an inmate. He's the program coordinator for the Level II In Building Self Help program at the prison and was instrumental in its implementation. It's a one-of-a-kind, peer-to-peer prison program developed by Associate Warden of Level II Operations Kim Young.
He is a 27-year veteran in corrections who oversaw the development of the program when tough financial times resulted in staff reductions and suspended programs a few years ago. It was designed to cut down on idle time with no cost to the taxpayer – staff and inmate volunteers, donations and 15-cents-on-the-dollar inmate positions are its backbone.
The classes focus on such subjects as making better choices, communication techniques, soul-searching and anger management. There are dozens and dozens of choices that also include book clubs and parenting classes – the latter taken by Harrell. Inmate facilitators go through eight hours of general training and then several weeks of training unique to the class they will teach.
While the classes are open to all Level II inmates, Jones said he wants to reach the young ones who wind up in prison. With him, he said, they've found a mentor and a safe haven within the walls of a place that can be overwhelming.
On a recent day, as Jones walked through his dormitory facility, he pointed to his bunk – one of the younger inmates, another 19-year-old – was fast asleep.
"He feels safe there," Jones said.
"We have something in place to help them find balance," he said of the program, and of a mentoring program designed to help younger prisoners. "When they turn around and (get) out of (prison), they know how to be a better person. Right now, they don't know how."
On this recent day, an inmate facilitator conducted a Bible class close to Jones' bunk, but Jones spent most of his time in another Level II building, sitting in on a class called Conflict Recognition and Resolution for Effective Goal Setting.
The 12-session class has several prerequisite classes: Denial Management, Anger Management, Victim Awareness and a substance abuse class if that was an issue prior to incarceration.
"Most of the time, substance abuse is involved," said Ronnie Randon, an inmate class member.
Randon is one of several inmates in the class that is taught by two inmate co-facilitators, Richard Bell and Shavar Gilliam. The class location, and the official "office" location of the In Building Self Help program, is an alcove that also houses six inmate bunk beds, next to the showers.
It's within the direct eyesight of an overhead guard location. It's not a quiet place, with other inmates involved in myriad pursuits beyond the alcove, but those in attendance inside the alcove gave Bell and Gilliam their full attention, taking notes and asking questions.
The class's premise is effective goal-setting and reaching those goals despite obstacles and conflicts using the works of Zig Zigler, Abraham Maslow (Hierarchy of Needs) and Lawrence Kohlberg (Theory of Moral Development).
"Every time I teach (this class), I'm getting a better understanding of conflict I have within myself," Gilliam said.
He admitted that goal-setting is still tough for him because he was so "used to going on a whim."
Aside from the class's premise, a sense of community and knowledge of himself is Stephen Bogovich's takeaway.
"I never understood 'community' until I came to the self-help groups," he said.
Young said there is nothing like the program within the California prison system. She said that it's not unusual for her to get calls asking about the program's setup. She credits Jones with being one of the reasons the program exists. It's cut down on discipline reports and recidivism, Young said.
"I call it 'bringing the mountain to Mohammed,' " she said, citing an adaptation of a popular phrase. "It helps them interact and gives them social skills they probably didn't have when they came in.
"Out of everything I've done in my career, it's the most powerful . . . meaningful, I should say."

There was not a sentence on what crime he committed and how is his victim doing today. BS. You don't get to go to state prison for a minimal offense. BSReply |
I was going to write the very same thing. Notice it wasn't a crime? It was "got into trouble". BS He committed a FELONY Crime. I have "got into trouble" and my parents punished me and I didn't get into trouble again. I've never committed a FELONY and been sentenced to Prison!! Please everyone read puff pieces for what they are. This article is not journalism, but a SLANTED VIEWPOINT of the author. WTH is with the D.R. putting these stories on the front page all the time? Multiple times a year we are wrongly told how every druggies at Solano Mission and the other half way (back to the streets) house are "going to do great". Never the follow up when they are re-arrested/back to a life of crime. <<<<>>>> I want everyone to be a success, but I also want honesty in reporting.Reply |
I was curious as well as to what offense garnered a two year prison sentence in the State Pen but it really doesn't matter. The man was aggressive, had three kids before he was incarcerated, and did not obtain a high school diploma. He and these kids would otherwise become a life long burden on society without a change in direction. I applaud the work being done with this program and hopefully will transform this young man into a productive individual and a good father keeping him from the dockets, supporting his own children, and being a good mentor to others. I certainly hope the young man sticks with it and doesn't succumb to peer pressure once released. He will need to motivate himself to gain a GED and job training.Reply |
They are ''Jerry's kids' and ''the sons of Obama''.Reply |

Journal of Obesity. DOI: 10.1155/2012/985902. Technical Abstract: This study used the aggregate data meta-analytic approach to determine the combined effects of aerobic exercise and diet on lipids and lipoproteins in overweight and obese adults. Twelve studies representing 859 men and women (443 intervention, 416 control) were included. Using random-effects models, statistically significant, intervention minus control reductions were found for TC (-12.8'mg/dL, 95% CI, -19.9 to -5.7), TC':'HDL-C (-0.5'mg/dL, 95% CI, -0.8 to -0.1), LDL-C (-6.8'mg/dL, 95% CI, -11.8 to -1.8), and TG (-13.1'mg/dL, 95% CI, -21.2 to -5.0) but not HDL-C (-0.4'mg/dL, 95% CI, -2.3 to 1.6). Results remained robust when adjusted for publication bias, deleting each study from the model once, and collapsing results for multiple groups from the same study into one effect size. These findings suggest that concurrent aerobic exercise and diet improve TC, LDL-C, TC':'HDL-C, and TG, but not HDL-C, in overweight and obese adults.

Wawrinka in quest for slam breakthroughComment on this story
Melbourne – Stanislas Wawrinka has emerged from behind the shadow of Roger Federer to claim his own niche in the men's tennis order by reaching the Grand Slam summit at the Australian Open.
It has been a break-out tournament for the understated Swiss, with an epic five-set win over three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic backed up by beating world number seven Tomas Berdych to march into Sunday's Melbourne final.
It is the 28-year-old's first Grand Slam final, four months after losing to Djokovic over five sets in the US Open semi-finals, and signals a coming of age as he looks to land his maiden major title.
Adding spice to his achievement is that Wawrinka has supplanted Federer as the number one ranked Swiss player, a position his close friend has owned since 2001.
Wawrinka's rise in the rankings from 17 at year-end 2012 to at least five next week stems back to his monumental fourth round loss to Djokovic, that went 12-10 in the fifth set, at last year's Australian Open.
He carried this on to his tight defeat in New York and his redeeming victory over Djokovic in the quarters this week.
Tattooed on his left forearm are the words of Irish poet Samuel Beckett: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." Wawrinka had lost 14 times in a row before triumphing over Djokovic.
"The match against Novak gave me a lot of confidence and showed me that I can play on a very high level in a very important match against one of the bug guys," Wawrinka said.
"After the (2013) semi-final at the US Open I knew that I was close to be there. But it still was far away for me to make a final in a Grand Slam.
"It's tough for me to have as a goal to make the final in a Grand Slam, especially with Novak, Rafa, Roger and Andy (Murray). I knew I had the level to beat the top players, but to be in the final you have to do it again and again."
Wawrinka has always been admired for his artful one-handed backhand but it's his all-round game, also armed with a potent serve and forehand, that has propelled him into Grand Slam contention over the last 18 months.
"I now have more confidence in myself. I know that when I go on court I can beat almost everybody, even on the big stage like in a Grand Slam semi-final," he said.
"It's a lot about confidence, especially with my game that I'm playing quite fast from the baseline, trying to always be aggressive.
"So I take a lot of risks and it's important to be really fresh and relaxed in my head."
That also corresponds with the arrival of Magnus Norman as his coach last April, with the Swede formerly in charge of countryman Robin Soderling, who is the only man to beat clay king Rafael Nadal at the French Open back in 2009.
Wawrinka said he was now in the best form of his career and was better at handling the pressure of the big matches.
"Last year I had the feeling that I was playing better, but I was also dealing better with the pressure," he said.
"I'm more mature. I'm 28 now. I've been on the tour for 10 years. Now I feel that it's my time to play my best tennis.
"I'm enjoying more what I'm doing, when I'm winning, and also maybe I know more how to deal with all the pressure." – Sapa-AFP

|Diffusion tensor imaging and fiber tractography in cervical compressive myelopathy: preliminary results.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21494906 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE: To assess diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in cervical compressive myelopathy (CCM) patients compared to normal volunteers, to relate them with myelopathy severity, and to relate tractography patterns with postoperative neurologic improvement. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Twenty patients suffering from CCM were prospectively enrolled (M:F = 13:7, mean age, 49.6 years; range 22-67 years) from September 2009 to March 2010. Sensitivity encoding (SENSE) single-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) was used for the sagittal DTI. Twenty sex- and age-matched normal volunteers underwent the same scanning procedure. Fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in the spinal cord were compared between the patients and normal volunteers and were related to myelopathy severity based on Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores. Tractography patterns were related to myelopathy severity and postoperative improvement. RESULTS: There were significant differences between patients and normal volunteers in terms of FA (0.498 ± 0.114 vs. 0.604 ± 0.057; p = 0.001) and ADC (1.442 ± 0.389 vs. 1.169 ± 0.098; p = 0.001). DTI parameters and tractography patterns were not related to myelopathy severity. In ten patients in the neurologically worse group, postoperative neurologic improvement was seen in four of five patients with intact fiber tracts, but only one of five patients with interrupted fiber tracts exhibited neurologic improvement. CONCLUSION: DTI parameters in CCM patients were significantly different from those in normal volunteers but were not significantly related to myelopathy severity. The patterns of tractography appear to correlate with postoperative neurologic improvement.

One of the most difficult literary devices to recognize as well as convey is tone. Helping students to identify tone in literature can be daunting, and helping students create the appropriate tone in their own original writing can also be a chore. The following are some tips to help students grasp the concept of tone. I have also created a free activity called "Using Appropriate Tone" to help students grasp the idea of tone, and –trust me–kids will LOVE this activity!
The tone of a piece refers to the author's attitude toward the subject. Finding the tone can seem like a daunting task at first; however, you can ask yourself a few simple questions to help you figure it out. Examples of these questions are: Is it formal or informal? Serious or lighthearted? Is there an emotion attached such as sadness, anger, lust, love, contentment, or consternation? Is the author taking a humorous approach to the subject? Is he or she being ironic, sarcastic, witty, contemplative, etc.? To find the answers to these questions and properly identify the tone, you have to look at the author's use of language including such tools as for word choice, phrasing, and use of or omission of details.
The same idea must be used when writing an original piece. It is important that students use the correct diction (choice of words) to help convey the way they are feeling. Ask students how difficult they find understanding a person's tone through text message or emails. Have they ever been confused by what the person is saying? Have they assumed a person was serious when they were actually joking? If the words are not laid out right, we can easily be confused by a person's writing, and get the wrong idea of a person's intentions or meaning.
Another way to think of tone is like tone being the background paper on which you write a note. For example, if you are writing a note telling your mother how much you love her and appreciate her, and in the end, ask to borrow the car keys for the night, you may want to write your note on a pink, flowery piece of paper rather than on the back of a cardboard pizza box you pulled out of the trash. The choice of paper gives the reader an idea of the message you are sending. Similarly, you don't want to give someone a note to let them know you would rather just "be friends" on a piece of pink paper with red hearts! The words you choose to use in your writing act like those pieces of paper — you must choose your words wisely in order to get the right point across.
For helping students grasp the concept of using the right tone, please download Using Appropriate Tone, free on TeachersPayTeachers! If you love it, please leave feedback and tell others.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — In the quest to create jobs, some states are getting creative: Nevada may hold contests to encourage entrepreneurs. Ohio is giving control of its liquor profits to a group of business leaders. And Washington and Alabama are "selling" income they don't even have yet.
More than four years after the start of the Great Recession, state lawmakers have few options left to stimulate economic activity. With little room for new spending or tax cuts, several have turned to more imaginative, sometimes quirky, proposals to encourage job growth.
"Jobs, jobs, jobs," is how New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo summed up his agenda. His $15 billion "New York Works" plan is a version of traditional jobs programs, but with a twist he calls "entrepreneurial government."
Instead of handing out government money, the Democrat plans to extract matching commitments from private companies to rebuild 2,000 miles of highways and countless bridges and tunnels. Difficult fiscal times required a new approach, he said.
He proposes creating a "Rebuild NY Bank" to use state and federal money as equity to create a pool for investments in jobs programs or infrastructure projects.
Those projects will entice businesses with a new form of contract called "design-build" in which the company can control the whole process and reduce typical estimates by months and millions of dollars, Cuomo said.
The governor also proposes to swap land for a global casino developer to build the nation's largest convention center in the New York City borough of Queens, while pushing for a state constitutional amendment to allow private-sector casinos beyond Indian land.
To fund infrastructure projects in Washington state, lawmakers are trying to raise money by selling off future income from the state lottery and other, more obscure sources of revenue. The state has largely maxed out its bond capacity, and there's no momentum for new taxes.
Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley is proposing a similar bonds program backed by future federal grants.
A plan released by Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval adopts tactics common to the corporate world: It seeks to cultivate the state's brand and creates a small pool of money for loans and grants.
Steve Hill, director of the governor's Office of Economic Development, said the goal is to highlight industries already entrenched in the state while trying to match private entrepreneurs with private investors who may want to pursue new lines of business.
The plan includes a $150,000 fund for three contests — one each in Las Vegas, Reno and a rural area — that will help entrepreneurs bring their business plans to fruition.
Ohio's Republican governor announced an agreement last month to funnel profits from state-owned liquor stores to a nonprofit board of business leaders. The money, part of a 25-year deal worth $1.4 billion, is supposed to give the board tools to attract new businesses and expand existing ones.
New York isn't the only state looking to tap gambling for money. Republicans in Washington state and Massachusetts are trying to exploit its ability to quickly generate both jobs and revenue.
Massachusetts Sen. Richard Ross, a Republican who helped broker a deal that authorized up to three new resort casinos, said he saw gambling as a rare jobs solution that political leaders could agree on.
At this point, he said, "we kind of felt like it's the only one we have."

In the old X++ framework (Dynamics AX 2009 and earlier) when you wanted to display company logo on report you could use display method on table. In Dynamics AX 2012 that would not work.
For RDP reports you could add CompanyLogo field into temporary table and then fill it in Data Provider class (for details please look into Sales Invoice report, class SalesInvoiceDP method insertIntoSalesInvoiceTmp).
But what if you don't want to use RDP report but Query based report. To get it to work you need to:
1. Create query based on table CompanyImage and I added field dataAreaId to Range:
2. Add this query as data source to SSRS report with property Dynamic Filters = False
3. There has been added parameter CompanyImage_dataAreaId. Specify following properties for this parameter to be automatically populated:
DefaultValue: =Parameters!AX_CompanyName.Value
Visibility: Hidden
4. In precision design I could add Image to be connected to added data source
The company image will be displayed on report.
Thanks for the help!
One thing I ran into was I had to rename some of the field references within the header when I added the additional data-set to the report.

The Nets have acquired All-Star point guard Deron Williams from the Jazz for Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, two first-round picks, and cash, the teams announced Wednesday.
In a swift and astonishing comeback from their failed pursuit of Carmelo Anthony, New Jersey also will get Dan Gadzuric and Brandan Wright from Golden State for Troy Murphy, who will be bought out, sources said. Murphy is considering signing with Boston, Miami or Orlando once his buyout is complete. That separate transaction, with Golden State also getting a 2012 second-round pick from the Nets, is expected to be completed later Wednesday.
The deal, first reported by the Bergen (N.J.) Record and Yahoo! Sports, represents a major coup for Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, who lost out to cross-river rival New York in his pursuit of Anthony but arguably gets an even better prize for some of the pieces that were bound for Denver in a deal that was agreed to last week for Anthony. The Knicks acquired Anthony Tuesday for four players and three draft picks in a masssive, three-team, 13-player blockbuster. The Williams-to-New Jersey deal was agreed to Wednesday, hours before Anthony was set to make his debut for the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Williams, arguably the best point guard in the game, had grown disenchanted in Utah, where friction between he and coach Jerry Sloan resulted in the Hall of Fame coach resigning Feb. 11. CBSSports.com reported during All-Star weekend that Williams began planning his exit from Utah last summer, telling associates that if Amar'e Stoudemire wound up signing with the Knicks, Williams wanted to follow him there as a free agent in 2012.
In a chaotic environment that has changed the landscape of the NBA, the Jazz boldly got out in front of the looming soap opera with their superstar, opting to trade him for assets a year before his free agency would become a major issue. By doing so, general manager Kevin O'Connor has taken one of the marquee 2012 free agents off the market and spared his organization the kind of drama and distraction that besieged the Nuggets until Anthony finally was dealt to the Knicks.
As one rival executive noted, the Nets turned the "guts of the Melo deal" into a far superior talent and didn't have to give up as much as Denver was asking for Anthony -- or even as much as the Knicks gave up for him. But in the end, the players and draft picks surrendered on both sides of the Hudson River will be all but forgotten once Williams, Stoudemire and Anthony embark on what will be without question the most heated rivalry the New York area teams have ever had.
And with early indications that Williams is not happy with the trade, the Nets took a calculated risk -- but one that could pay enormous dividends. The Knicks got a player who wanted to join them while Williams will have to be sold. But he'll have the rest of this season and next -- barring a lockout -- to evaluate whether he'll have enough talent with him by the time the team moves to Brooklyn in 2012.
The deal saves the Jazz about $3.6 million in salary and luxury-tax payments, but does not push them under the $70.3 million tax threshold. Given the obvious decision to go in a rebuilding direction, the Jazz could be poised for other deals to clear the remaining $4.9 million they're over the tax. The Jazz get New Jersey's 2011 first-round pick and Golden State's 2012 first-rounder, which also comes from the Nets after being acquired in a previous trade.
The Jazz play in Dallas Wednesday night in the first game of the post-Williams era. New Jersey's next game is Friday night in San Antonio, where it is expected that Williams will make his Nets debut.
With star players aggressively angling for better markets and fellow stars to team up with, following the blueprint set forth first by the Celtics and Lakers and then by Miami's Big Three last summer, the Jazz snuffed out what could've been another long, painful march to free agency for Williams.
During All-Star weekend, Williams danced around the report by CBSSports.com that he hatched an escape plan to New York last summer and proclaimed that he would not be addressing his impending free agency until he made a decision. On Wednesday, about 28 hours before the trade deadline, the decision was made for him. Williams has two years left on his contract after this one, including a player option in 2012-13 -- when the Nets are scheduled to move into their new home in Brooklyn and truly ignite their rivalry with the Knicks.
In so many ways, that rivalry has been smoldering for months as the Knicks and Nets pursued Anthony. It was elevated to five-alarm status Wednesday, with Prokhorov trumping Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan's acquisition of Anthony on the very day the Knicks' new superstar makes his home debut against the Bucks.
Williams isn't eligible for an extension until July 1 -- or whichever comes first, July 1 or the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement. By trading him a year before he had the leverage of being able to force his way to the team of his choice -- like Anthony did with the Knicks -- the Jazz not only avoid the drama, but they also get a better deal than one they would've gotten under such duress.
The deal not only represents a short-term victory for the Nets in their battle with the Knicks over superstar talent -- it was 2-0 New York until Wednesday, with Stoudemire and Anthony on board at the Garden -- it also has wide-ranging implications in the chase for 2012 free agents. Will Williams stay in New Jersey, buy into the Brooklyn mystique, and try to topple the Knicks' star tandem of Stoudemire and Anthony by serving as a magnet for future free agents? Will he decline to sign an extension and try to force his way to the Knicks? Does his presence on the Nets virtually assure that fellow star point guard Chris Paul will make his summer wedding toast come true by joining Stoudemire and Anthony in New York in 2012? Whom does Dwight Howard team up with when his free-agent clock starts ticking? The Lakers, Knicks, or Nets?
Only this is for sure: The floodgates pushed ajar by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh last summer have blown wide open.

Deron Williams to Nets
Deron is a product of the system he played in... Harris' will improve in this same system (even with a different coach). Once he learns it his numbers will improve. As far as losing Boozer (LMAO misses 30-40% of each season with questionable injuries!) Jefferson is pulling similar numbers already and is younger, again part of the system. The Jazz franchise will do just fine and continue to be a contender in the west. Write off this season which we as Jazz fans already had...and add the draft picks to Harris and Favor, the Jazz are way better off then we were a week ago. We of course will miss Jerry Sloan, wish this trade had come before we lost him.

Deron Williams to Nets
This league is becoming a league of stars. Its blatantly obvious. The Nets got D Will just to hopefully attract another star, then get D will to re sign. I am a 76ers fan, and i am so angry that my team has not gotten a star yet. We blew our money on Elton Brand. Solid player, but now max contract esque. But is this movement to a league of stars a good thing? I mean, besides the fact that TV ratings will be up to watch the heat, knicks, celtics, and lakers, is it really good for the league? the answer is no. It leaves 5 or 6 teams with a legit chance to win the championship, and the other 25 with absolutely none. No cinderalla story. No big upset in the playoffs. No 6 seed in the finals. I think this is something that should be changed, and the only people who will disagree with me will be fans of teams with stars. I.E. Knick fans, heat fans, celtic fans, laker fans.

I agree, if they were gonna make this move, they should've done it before Darren ran Sloan out of town.
Also, the people who think the Jazz got over on this deal are retarded. They traded for an overrated PG, who, even as one of the stars on his team, in a crappy conference, couldn't hack it. Harris is a solid backup and and "AVERAGE" starting PG at best, look at the numbers, they don't lie. Then they get Favors who could barely break the starting lineup in "NEW JERSEY"! Do you honestly think he'll start over Milsap or Jefferson? I don't get it, out of all the positions on their team, they were solid at PF.
The only plus side are the draft picks, which are a crap shoot. Terrible trade Utah, you should've held out like Denver did, or made the move before Sloan got sick of Williams and left.

New Jersey traded for a top point guard and got some financial freedom. I'm sure in hopes to possibly lure the likes of maybe a Dwight Howard next year. That would make one hell of a one two punch.

WHY? WHY UTAH? Why didn't you keep Jerry Sloan, one of the 5 best coaches ever, and trade Williams 2 weeks ago???? We all know Williams got Sloan "canned" so why didn't they make the move then, and keep one of the greatest, not to mention classiest coaches EVER ??????

That's what you get Williams for messing with one of the best coaches ever in the NBA. Have fun in New Jersey losing all the time and passing to no one. On the other hand, Utah has really screwed themselves by making this move now, instead of before Coach Sloan decided he had enough of coaching a bunch of over paid punk arss wanna be thugs.

I didn't see it coming either, because it didn't show up on any of the rumor blogs. But I'm glad it happened, though, if only because it means the Blazers won't be trading Miller & Pryzbilla to the Nets. The Nets sure better get lucky luring other stars in the next year, or they gave up a lot for a one year rental. Moving to Brooklyn or not, how many stars (or NBA players in general) would choose the Nets as their first choice to play for? Good luck signing Williams.
If Utah does a good job selecting the right players in the draft, they'll have come out way ahead in this trade. I also think this could be a good team for Harris to play for. We'll see.

Although I really like Williams, I think the Nets paid too dearly for him. It looks to me that the Jazz are going to come out of this much much better,- AND Harris IS a good point guard. I would say that the Jazz will never be the same after Sloan left, but they got so many good combinations of draft and players from this trade, it looks like they will be alright ( though NOT the same level of possibility as they had when Sloan was there)
I can't see the Lakers going after Williams - especially with Derrick Fisher still playing at a high level - and the Lakers stated position of not wanting to give up Bynum. They have no one else - including Artest that would interest the Nets.

The players Golden State gave up are bad (Gadzuric, Wright) and do not expire this year. The pick they gave up is protected and it won't end up very high regardless because Golden State is hovering around .500 at the back end of the lottery.
Murphy expires this year whether he gets bought out or not. Thus, cap space for the Warriors

It was quite hot day, and my ice cream started to melt slowly. My cold ice cream (solid) melted and it turned into a liquid. There are three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Our world is filled with substances which could be classified as liquids, gases, and solids. For example, air is a gas, your pencil case is a solid, and water is a liquid. Solids, gases, and liquids can be classified by their volume, shape, or elements, compound, or mixture. A solid is a substance that keeps its shape and volume. For example, ice, rock, and diamond are solids. It has a distinct shape and volume, and also the particles in a solid are very close, and the atoms in a solid are not allowed to move too much. For this reason, a solid has a distinct shape and volume. There are two types of solids: crystalline solids and amorphous solids. There are many solids that the particles form a regular, repeating pattern. This means that the atoms in these solids are arranged in an orderly manner. You can easily find the examples of crystalline solids, for example, sugar, salt, snow and ice .Also, crystalline solids are melted at a certain temperature .Another type of solids- amorphous solids- does not have repeating or regular pattern, and it is not melted at a specific temperature. Plastics, rubber, and glass are the examples of amorphous solids. One of the states of matter is a liquid. Unlike a solid, a liquid does not have certain shape , but it has definite volume, because its particles are allowed to move freely. A liquid takes the shape of its container. Surface tension is one of characteristic property of liquid, which is the 'result of an inward pull among the molecules of a liquid that brings the molecules on the surface closer together'. (Physical Science, page74) Another property of a liquid is called, 'viscosity' which means 'a liquid's resistance to flowing' (Physical Science, page74) It depends of the size and the attractof the particles. A liquid with high viscosity flows slowly, for example, honey. As I have mentioned, the world is filled with states of matter. The last state of matter is gases. There is one thing you do every day, even though you do not really recognize. Yes, you do breathe in and out the air every day. A gas does not have definite shape, but unlike a liquid , it changes its volume very easily because the ' particles of a gas can be pressed and squeezed into a small volume'. (Physical Science, page75) As a gas moves, its particles fill the whole space available.Therefore, a gas does not have definite volume and shape. I've been talking about three states of matter; liquids, solids, and gases. But here is another question. Are there any other states of matter? How about plasma? Can't plasma be a one of the states of matter? Science keeps giving us questions. Now, it's your turn to answer my question!

Parent Teacher Conferences. Does anything else inspire such trepidation in a parent? The moment you walk into the school, taking note of the lost and found items stacked by the front office, you know youre in for it. You make your way down the long hallway filled with student creations, hoping that the wait time wont be too long, that the teachers have nothing but good stuff to say about your kids, and that maybe tonight youll be able to fall asleep without a laundry pile of concerns regarding your children swirling through your mind.
My first experience with conferences of course came when my own mother would attend mine. Anxious waiting and hoping that the teacher couldnt possibly remember every little thing I had done wrong filled my mind. The report was almost always the same, Jennys a smart, capable student. She just talks too much. My mom wished the teacher good luck with that, and I havent stopped talking to date.
My second experience with conferences was playing the teacher role myself. I can recall tired, working parents sitting across the desk from me waiting to hear the answer to a very basic question: Is my kid all right? I felt that there were two big components to my job at the time. First, tell the truth, and tell it with a smile. Second, offer lots of reassurance. Yes, parents, youre doing all right and so is your kid.
Now, I get to play the parent role. I brace myself for the conversations held while reviewing literacy and math numbers that tell me whether my children are on track. I really want to know most about my kids social-emotional lives at school. Are they respectful? Do they have fun?
At the end of the day, those conferences feel like theyre mostly about us as parents. Are we reading enough with the kids? Checking math homework enough? Then I take a deep breath and remind myself of one very important thing. Nobody is perfect. I cant expect that of myself or my children. The best teachers understand that, too.

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. / Special to the DFP
With his junior season almost over, Michigans Taylor Lewan is looking more and more like the Wolverines next first-round NFL offensive lineman.
ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said in a teleconference today that Lewan, who started his 25th consecutive game at left tackle in last weeks win over Northwestern, ranks as his No. 2 tackle for Aprils NFL draft, behind Texas A&Ms Luke Joecke, and a top-10 player overall.
I dont know how much further he can climb, Kiper said. But hes got a chance to be another outstanding Michigan offensive tackle. Theyve got a great history of providing the NFL with great offensive linemen, going back to Dan Dierdorf and Jumbo Elliott, obviously, up through Jake Long and a lot in between. So hes the next, and he will have a chance to be maybe an early first-round pick.
Long was the last Michigan offensive lineman selected in the first round, going No. 1 overall in 2008. Defensive end Brandon Graham was a first-round pick from Michigan two years later.
Kiper reiterated the widely held belief that Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson will have to convert to slot receiver/return specialist in the NFL, but he said Robinson still could go in the second round. He compared him to Antwaan Randle El, another former Big Ten quarterback (Indiana) who successfully made the NFL transition to receiver.
What made him a second-round pick, Randle El, was the Senior Bowl week. Thats when he proved he could catch the ball, Kiper said. You think about Robinson with his speed, can he catch it? And thats what hes going to have to show, whether its his pro day, whether its at the combine, whether its at Senior Bowl week.
He could maybe, possibly be like Antwaan Randle El, be a second-round pick, but its still a big question mark until he shows he can catch the football. We know hes fast, we know hes athletic, we know hes tough and all that, but can he catch the football? I really cant say for sure where hed go until we know that. But hes not going to be a quarterback.
Kiper said two Michigan State prospects have the potential to be second-day picks, too. Junior defensive end William Gholston has just two sacks this year but has an NFL frame at 6-feet-7 and 278 pounds. And junior running back LeVeon Bell leads the Big Ten with 1,249 yards rushing.
In terms of Gholston, hes pretty stout at the point, Kiper said. As pass-rush ability, you see glimpses of (it). I dont think he closes quite as quickly as I would like, at times. Hes made some plays in the backfield against the run this year. I think hes probably more a second-round-type guy right now than first.
I think, in terms of LeVeon Bell, very patient, deceptively quick, has that kind of build-up speed, can catch the ball even though he had, uncharacteristically, a drop or two this year. (Can) block. Hes an all-around complete player, for the most part. I think probably second, third round for him would be where I would project LeVeon Bell right now.
Bell, Gholston and junior tight end Dion Sims said after practice Tuesday that they haven't thought about Saturdays game against Northwestern possibly being their final home game at Spartan Stadium.
"I just want to finish the season, and I'll look at all those things at the end of the season, probably right before the bowl game or some time around there," Bell said of considering leaving early for the NFL.
Gholston said he had more pressing things to think about at the moment: "I'm thinking about getting to a bowl game, and these finals are about to come up."'
Sims echoed that sentiment: "I haven't given any thought to it. I'm just trying to win these last two games and make it to a bowl game."

|ETS gene fusions in prostate cancer.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19657377 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Chromosomal rearrangements that result in high level expression of ETS gene family members are common events in human prostate cancer. Most frequently, the androgen-activated gene TMPRSS2 is found fused to the ERG gene. Fusions involving ETV1, ETV4 and ETV5 occur less frequently but exhibit greater variability in fusion structure with 12 unique 5' fusion partners identified so far. ETS gene rearrangement seems to be a key event in driving prostate neoplastic development: the rearrangement occurs as an early event and continues to be expressed in metastatic and castration-resistant disease. However, ETS alterations seem insufficient on their own to induce cancer formation. No consistent associations are seen between the presence of ETS alteration and clinical outcome, with the possible exception that duplication of rearranged ERG, reflecting aneuploidy, is associated with poor outcome. Thus, factors other than ERG gene status may be the major determinants of poor clinical outcome. Expression signatures of prostate cancers containing the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion suggest involvement of beta-estradiol signaling, and reveal higher levels of expression of HDAC1 and ion channel genes when compared to cancers that lack the rearrangement. These observations suggest new therapeutic possibilities for patients harboring ETS gene fusions.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U review
By Clawdeen Ghoul
Date:27/12/14 Rating:9/10
I am going to be reviewing the highly anticipated game, Super Smash Bros. 4, however I will only be reviewing the Wii U version of the game.
Let's crack on!
So the game graphics are excellant and much better. The opening sequence is better and amazing! The whole main page actually intriques me as well, all the character silhouettes in the background are a great touch to the game. The 8-player-smash is very.... interesting. The 8-player-smash means 8 players can play, however the camera is zoomed out that you don't even know where your character is or what they are doing, however I do find it to be fun but just hard, I also don't like how some levels aren't playable, like for instance Kirby's Fun Park levels or StarFox levels aren't playable, I understand that they are small, but they could make them bigger like the other levels they did.
The characters chosen for this game are frustrating me. I love Rosalina but Daisy has been in the Nintendo universe for longer, and as she is my favourite character, I can tel you that she needs the spotlight, not just a skin for Peach, not just a trophy. Same for Waluigi even if he is one of the items, he needs his time to shine, not just a Luigi skin. However, aside from that I love the other characters, all except Wii Fit Trainor, unfortunately Dr. Mario, Wario and Pac-Man, they are all just boring, nothing new. Peach is the same as last time which is annoying.
The controls are hard, as I normally use the arrow on the Wii U game pad, instead of the knob. But I am getting used to them.
Now, about computers. The computers are excellant and are very smart. However when only CPU's are battling, as you have lost, they take forever to win! I normally have to quit because they are taking so long!
Beside all the disadvantages this game is a great game, with some improvements like CPU's fight faster, and the including of more classic characters, this game is a great game! I would love to fight with the Gamecube controller! This is one of the best and my personal favourite Wii U games out there!

This was by far the most dissapointing and rubbish Need For Speed they've ever released. I mean seriously, trying to release that rubbish after Most Wanted. Idiots.
Care to elaborate at all?
I have to say I disagree. For me to distinguish the NFS games that are on the streets is almost impossible for I like them equally. So I would have to say NFS Pro Street is the worst NFS game in my opinion not Carbon.

on fire: Kings of Leon.
Julia Zave
Gonna Rise Again
John Brodeur
of Leon, the Whigs
Performing Arts Center, June 6
An overnight sensation in the United Kingdom with their 2003
debut Youth and Young Manhood, Nashvilles Kings of
Leon took a longer road to mainstream success here at home:
Until recently its been an iPod commercial here, a few film
placements there, and an undying love from music critics.
But momentum has been building for the Followill boys; it
seemed inevitable that the band would eventually have a breakout
pop hit, and graduate from warming up arenas (for the likes
of U2 and Pearl Jam) to headlining them.
On Sunday, Kings of Leon made their triumphant return to the
Capital Region, headlining in front of a nearly-full SPAC
amphitheatre and a respectable lawn audiencea far cry from
the few hundred folks they entertained at Revolution Hall
five years ago. Times have changed, of course: Like many a
youngish band, theyve changed their tune over time, from
the soul-inflected garage-rock of their first two releases
to the shoot-for-the-rafters arena-rock style of 2008s Only
by the Night. (2007s Because of the Times was
a transitional letdown, the ever-difficult third album made
only more difficult by the bands insistence on expanding
their horizons beyond their actual capacity.) Sundays turnout
was evidence of the bands recent ascent into the über-mainstream:
Grammy Awards for Nights first two singles, Sex on
Fire (Best Rock Performance, 2009) and Use Somebody (Record
of the Year, 2010). Naturally these songs received the most
rapturous audience response, but even in the knowledge that
Sex was a radio staple for a year it was still shocking
to hear 10,000 people singing along to its chorus.
Despite broadening their sound and appeal, the Followills
(brothers Caleb, Nathan, and Jared, with cousin Matthew),
joined onstage by an auxiliary instrumentalist, played the
first third of their Saratoga gig as if they were still showcasing
for record labels, stringing together a half-dozen tunes without
a break. In front of a relatively low-key stage set (a customizable
wall of lights, some red smoke, a few video screens) the band
strummed through tunes from all four studio albums, with Taper
Jean Girl emerging as an early highlight.
There were few frills: Bassist Jared Followill stepped up
to a synthesizer on a few numbers, and vocalist Caleb Followill
employed vocal distortion on another. The distortion might
have helped the singer in more places: He claimed to have
no voice, and indeed his typically pinched growl sounded
subdued, if not lacking in range. But this is a minor problem
when you have thousands of backup singers. (Sundays set was
reportedly cut short, and a midweek show in Scranton, Pa.,
was canceled to accommodate his recovery.)
While the Kings seemed bored by a few of the older numbers
(Mollys Chambers was, in a word, lethargic) and just plain
pooped by the end of the main set (ditto for On Call), they
rechanneled their energy into the more expansive material
like slow-burning encore-opener Knocked Up and the still-ubiquitous
Use Somebody. They also debuted a few new tunes, including
the just-this-side-of-Mellencamp anthem Southboundwhich
should be a massive hit at their Bonnaroo-headlining performance
this weekend. For that one they were joined onstage by Athens,
Ga., trio the Whigs, who earlier turned in a fiery 35-minute
opening set, despite playing to a lot of empty seats under
a still-setting sun. In a perfect world, Kill Me Carolyne
would be as big as any of the Kings hits.


text: Thomas Kline Delivers 2013 Edward J. Ross Lecture Friday March 22, 2013 Thomas R. Kline recently delivered the 2013 Edward J. Ross Memorial Lecture in Litigation. His talk was titled "Childhood Sexual Abuse: Out of the Shadows into the Courtroom." "A really tough topic," Dean JoAnne Epps remarked, "one that exists in our world but we wish weren't so." Kline has extensive experience representing young victims of sexual abuse, and recently emerged as a prominent national spokesperson for the victims of convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky while representing victim No. 5. He is a founding partner, with Shanin Specter, in the Philadelphia law firm of Kline & Specter, PC and past president of the Inner Circle of Advocates, described by The Washington Post as "a select group of 100 of the nation's most celebrated trial lawyers." "I admire very much the Ross family," Kline said, "not only what Ed did during his career but his family's devotion to him, his memory, and the accomplishments that he has."

A growing, witnessing Church is emerging from years of persecution. Catholic and Protestant, new expression and old, a significant turning to God is occurring in different places, in both registered and unregistered churches, and among different people groups. The Vietnamese diaspora is also seeing many become believers. These converts then bring the gospel back to Vietnam with them. There are three main groups where church growth is occurring:
Among the mountain tribal peoples of central and southern Vietnam. Praise God for preservation and growth by some estimates as great as nine-fold increase in just over thirty years! This occurred despite cruel persecution on the part of the government.
Among the Hmong and other minority peoples of Northern Vietnam. The 1990s saw the Church grow rapidly among the Hmong from no believers in 1988 to estimates of up to 400,000 just two decades later, catalyzed by FEBC radio broadcasting. House church movements among Northern peoples have spread.
Among the ethnic Vietnamese (Kinh) themselves. Although much more modest among this group, clear church growth is happening, in the formally recognized Evangelical Church of Vietnam [which actually consists of two separate organizations, one in the north EVCN(N) and one in the south EVCN(S)], in other, smaller but registered denominations and in the unregistered church networks as well. A Christmas gathering and service in Ho Chi Minh City in 2009 attracted 40,000 people.
One of the few Communist nations in the 21st Century, Vietnam faces new challenges. Repression of all types of freedom continues, but at the same time, social ills are on the rise. Drug addiction, AIDS, prostitution and exploitation of children are all too common. The land has seen great violence. Division and mistrust have been effective tools in the enemys hands in recent generations. Pray that the ideological and moral darkness over this nation might be banished by the light of the gospel.
For an additional 8 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
The Operation World book, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM provide far more information and fuel for prayer for the people of Vietnam.

|Mortality with congenital heart defects in England and Wales, 1959-2009: exploring technological change through period and birth cohort analysis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22753769 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Technological advances in surgery, intensive care and medical support have led to substantial decrease in mortality for children with congenital heart defects (CHDs) over the last 50 years.
METHODS: Using routinely-collected mortality and population data for England and Wales from 1959 to 2009, the authors investigated age, period and birth cohort trends in child mortality attributable to CHDs.
RESULTS: The total number of deaths with CHDs at all ages between 1959 and 2009 was 61 903 (33 929 (55%) males). Absolute numbers of CHD-related deaths in children (under age 15 years) fell from 1460 in 1959 to 154 in 2009. Infants (aged under 1 year) comprised over 60% of all deaths due to CHD during the 5-year period 1959-1963, but this fell to 22% by 2004-2008. Age-standardised death rates have declined for both sexes but, despite narrowing sex differences, males continue to have higher death rates. Successive birth cohorts have experienced improved death rates in the first year of life; however, declining mortality across all age-groups has only been observed for birth cohorts originating after 1989. Poisson regression modelling predicts continuing generational decline in mortality.
CONCLUSIONS: Death rates attributable to CHDs have fallen dramatically with advances in paediatric cardiac surgery and intensive care, largely due to decreased mortality in infants aged under 1 year. Initially, mortality in later childhood rose as infant deaths fell, suggesting death was delayed beyond infancy. Children born within the last 20 years experienced lower mortality throughout childhood.

A first grader finds a marijuana pipe on a school bus in Palisade and parents are concerned. Parents say the first grader tried give the pipe to his bus driver but he wouldn't take it, so he gave it to a fifth grader who brought it home to his parents.
Parents called Laidlaw who said they would look into the matter and then spoke with police who told them to bring the pipe down to the station.
The Palisade Police Department says the first thing they're going to do is check and see if the bus had a security camera. Unfortunately though they say it's unlikely they'll find out whose pipe it is.
Taylor Elementary School students share the same bus as Palisade High students. Parents say they're mad a pipe was found by a first grader and believe the driver should check the bus every day after the high school students get off of it.
School District 51 says they are concerned that a pipe was found, but directed all inquiries to Laidlaw. 11 News called Laidlaw several times but calls were never returned.

On Jan. 31, Dr. Shekhar Deshpande , Professor and Chair of Media and Communication, published "Tacita Dean-The materiality of the signifier" on His Blog, World Cinema . The article addresses FILM , Tacita Dean's 2011 installation in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, and the artist's return to celluloid film, a medium "richer in its capabilities of indexical signification" than its digital successors.
Dean's demonstration of the "green ray" off the coast of Madagascar, where the digital cameras gazing at the sinking sun failed to capture the magic of the green ray in its final moments for the day, is a testimony to the essential difference between celluloid and the digital. The abilities of indexical signification of film are richer while that of the digital are manipulable and deceptive. As the medium that Dean and many other artists thrive on disappears-16mm film-so is 35mm film. Along with film, vastly rich and complex discourses of viewing, social relationships, institutions and habits are vanishing in front of our eyes. Dean's work can not be dismissed as merely an anxiety of an artist or a defense of nostalgia that pines for the return of the past. As Marshall McLuhan cautioned us decades ago, we look to artists and poets to think of the future that we can not see. Dean's FILM Installation at Tate Modern emphatically hit hit asserts the specificity of cinema, denying, as Rosalind Krauss points out in her elegant speech at Tate Modern, the mythical grip of "Post-medium" condition. Celluloid and digital are not all cinema; each is a different manifestation of a generalized experience called cinema.
