She is Lady Daphne Bevington, but tells Cormack she's a lady's maid sent to pay a debt. He escorts her home, but can't get her out of his mind. Cormack uncovers Daphne's true identity, and it isn't long before he's drawn into her circle of admirers. He wonders which one is the scoundrel he is hunting.

Fitch Rates Caesars' Proposed $1.5B Sr. Secured Notes 'CCC+/RR3' Business Wire NEW YORK -- February 4, 2013 Fitch Ratings assigns a 'CCC+/RR3' rating to Caesars Entertainment Operating Company, Inc.'s (OpCo; CEOC) $1.5 billion proposed add-on issuance to the 9% senior secured first-lien notes due 2020. The Rating Outlook is Negative. A full list of ratings follows at the end of this release. In connection with the offering, CEOC is seeking several amendments to its senior credit facilities, which includes permitting the use of proceeds from today's notes issuance, obtaining an additional $100 million of revolving facility commitments due January 28, 2017, increasing accordion capacity by $650 million, and revising the calculation of its primary financial maintenance of 4.75x senior secured net debt/EBITDA. If CEOC obtains the amendments, the proceeds from the add-on issuance will be used to repay outstanding term loans (TLs) and transaction expenses. The TL repayment to consenting lenders will be applied first to outstanding B1, B2 and B3 TLs due 2015, then up to 20% of principal outstanding of B5 and B6 TLs due 2018, with the balance of any additional proceeds to reduce outstanding TLs at CEOC's discretion. The proposed transactions are a slight positive by pushing out 2015 and 2018 maturities to 2020 and by improving liquidity through the additional revolving commitments. However, that is offset by the higher interest costs, which will negatively impact OpCo's near-term cash burn rate. The company's recent refinancing transactions, including the proposed issuance today, have deteriorated the company's free cash flow profile. Fitch estimates that the OpCo will burn $450 - $600 million annually in 2013 - 2014. The B1, B2 and B3 TLs bear interest at roughly 3.2%, while the B5 and B6 bear interest at nearly 4.5% and 5.5%, respectively. As a result, interest costs from the proposed transactions would increase by roughly $70 million. Proforma for recent financings and adjusted for cage cash, CEOC has more than $2 billion of excess cash. The cash on hand should be adequate to fund the CEOC's cash burn projected by Fitch through 2015, make near-term investments in unrestricted subsidiaries (Baltimore and Project Linq), and paydown $125 million in unsecured notes coming due 2013. SENSITIVITY/RATING DRIVERS With Caesars pushing out a bulk of its 2015 maturities, Fitch is now more focused on the company's cash burn rate. Transactions that increase CEOC's cash burn rate materially could lead to a downgrade. As Fitch previously indicated, we are also monitoring developments that may sway the parent's ability or motivation to support CEOC, since the viability of CEOC may depend on such support. The pursuit of a strategic transaction related to a newly created entity, Caesars Growth Venture Partners (CGVP), may pressure ratings as it may reduce the company's willingness to support OpCo debt obligations. Fitch may revise the Rating Outlook back to Stable while affirming the IDR at 'CCC' if the operating trends pick up stronger than expected, improving prospects for a sustainable FCF profile by a 2015 time frame. The Las Vegas Strip (27% of OpCo's LTM EBITDA) is Caesars' best bet for leveraging any improvement in the macroeconomic environment. RECOVERY RATINGS Today's proposed issuance is not material to the RR3 rating from a recovery analysis standpoint. In December 2012, Fitch downgraded CEOC's first-lien debt to 'CCC+/RR3' from 'B-/RR2' when it last issued $750 million of first-lien notes due to reduced recovery prospects from that issuance, and the longer-term trend of executing several transactions that have negatively impacted first-lien recovery prospects. The 'CCC+/RR3' rating assigned to the proposed notes reflects estimated recovery rate for first-lien debt in the 51%-70% range. Fitch's estimated recovery for CEOC's first lien debt is at the high end of the stated range, so there is considerable cushion at the 'RR3' Recovery Rating for the first-lien debt. Detailed recovery analysis using data through June 30, 2012 for Caesars is available on www.fitchratings.com (see links below). Fitch's rating commentary and a detailed report on Caesars, both dated Sept. 5, 2012 provide a more extensive discussion about the Caesars overall credit profile. Fitch ratings are as follows: Caesars Entertainment Corp. --Long-term IDR 'CCC'; Outlook Negative. Caesars Entertainment Operating Co. --Long-term IDR 'CCC'; Outlook Negative; --Senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility and term loans 'CCC+/RR3'; --Senior secured first-lien notes 'CCC+/RR3'; --Senior secured second-lien notes 'CC/RR6'; --Senior unsecured notes with subsidiary guarantees 'CC/RR6'; --Senior unsecured notes without subsidiary guarantees at 'C/RR6'. Chester Downs and Marina LLC (and Chester Downs Finance Corp as co-issuer) --Long-term IDR 'B-'; Outlook Negative; --Senior secured notes 'BB-/RR1'. Caesars Linq, LLC & Caesars Octavius, LLC --Long-term IDR 'CCC'; Outlook Negative; --Senior secured credit facility 'CCC+/RR3'; Corner Investment PropCo, LLC --Long-term IDR 'CCC'; Outlook Stable; --Senior secured credit facility 'B-/RR2'.

"April 13, 2012 (TSX: ADV) (NYSE AMEX: AXX)
Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (TSX: ADV) (NYSE AMEX: AXX) ("Alderon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive subscription agreement dated April 13, 2012 (the "Subscription Agreement") with Hebei Iron & Steel Group Co., Ltd. ("Hebei"), China's largest steel producer. Hebei will make a strategic investment into both Alderon and its Kami iron ore project (the "Kami Project") in an aggregate amount of C$194 million, in exchange for 19.9% of the outstanding common shares of Alderon (the "Private Placement") and a 25% interest in a newly formed limited partnership that will be established to own the Kami Project."
They struck a SIMILIAR DEAL like the old CONSOLIDATED THOMPSON IRON ORE MINES (CLM-T).
Kami Iron Ore Project:
The PEA is preliminary in nature and it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the conclusions reached in the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
We are waiting for the NI 43-101 Technical Report at Radio Hill.
Does Radio Hill have the iron ore resources like Kami???
That is the BIG UNANSWERED question at this point. Remember that Radio Hill could be a COMPLETE FAILURE in ECONOMIC MINABLE RESERVES. We simply do NOT know until the TR is out.
Radio Hill is in a BETTER location than Kami.
This is my opinion only.

Normally, when a team that's supposed to be near the top of the league standings is at the bottom, accusations fly. Angry glares are exchanged.
And fingers, almost always, are pointed.
So what's going on inside the Capitals' locker room, where the locals are off to a 2-7-1 start and sit dead last in the NHL standings?
Has the blame game begun?
"We have to stay positive," right wing Troy Brouwer said. "We can't turn on each other and start bickering at each other because that's just going to be cancerous."
There is, of course, plenty of blame to go around for the Caps' poor start, their worst since starting 2-8-1 in 2003-04.
In the court of public opinion that starts with Alex Ovechkin, who is off to the worst start of his career with two power-play goals and two assists after 10 games.
"It's not like we're waiting on Ovi to lead the charge and score four or five goals in one game," said Capitals left wing Jason Chimera, who is still seeking his first goal.
"You can't look to one person. One person doesn't win you a Stanley Cup. You've got to look at yourself in the mirror and go from there. I'm sure he's going to get his share of goals."
Through 10 games coach Adam Oates has tried Ovechkin on the right wing and the left wing. He's matched him with centers Nicklas Backstrom, Jay Beagle and now, Mike Ribeiro, and wingers Marcus Johansson, Joey Crabb, Troy Brouwer and, now Wojtek Wolski.
"It's a constant shuffle and you're always trying to find chemistry," Oates said. "You see that, for example, [Toronto's Phil Kessel] gets three Grade A [chances] a night, so is that the chemistry or just a guy having a tough time? There's all the answers in the world. I think [Wolski] is playing well."
While Ovechkin's lack of production is part of the Capitals' problem, it's far from the only one. Their penalty kill has surrendered one or more power-play goals in seven of the first 10 games and they are 0-6-1 in those games.
Goaltenders Michal Neuvirth, who will get his second straight start in Pittsburgh on Thursday night, and Braden Holtby have allowed three goals or more in eight of the Capitals' 10 games, while the Caps have yet to score more than three goals in a game.
The best thing going for the Caps is that there are still another 38 games to be played in the regular season. That journey continues in Pittsburgh, where the Caps begin a stretch in which four of the next five games are on the road.
"It's not like we don't have the character in this room to get the job done," defenseman Mike Green said.

Jeez, Mark, your wife is brave. I slipped a note in with my first tax return saying something like "spend it wisely for once" and then I worried about hearing back from an irate IRS agent. But long as it goes through I guess they don't care what's on the check, except for the amount.

After stopping, when accelerating, 2005 hyundai tucson****** forward several times as if it doesn't want to go, then goes smoothly, it is due for tune-up, at about 58,500 miles, had problem before with smoke/they said it was mist from vents, they checked it about 6 times, nothing, they then found something else, have had regular tune-ups, oil changes, dealer said due for big tune-up $399+$199 for certain spark plugs since it's a v-6, plus tax, said it could be more if something else is wrong when they look at it, are tune-ups this much now? Was ready to trade in, but can't while it's doing this, hate to dump this kind of money if I'm not going to keep it. Any help?

February 17, 2011.
Wow! That is a lot. Honestly, I can't think of anything that would require that much money unless they charge 200 dollars an hour labor. Get another opinion. AS far as the tune up, it shouldn't require plugs again. Not at that mileage.

IN THE 1990 S, management consultants extolled the "Darwinian revolution." they coached executives to intensify competition within the company. It was reasoned that what was good for our economy in its entirety was good for individual companies.
In general, competition between companies fosters creativity, hard work, and greater wealth. But competition within companies can incite workers to hide information; it can cause mistrust and betrayal.1
How is competition defined? a clear definition was described in an experiment by social psychologists. In the experiment there were two children, Sam and Michael, who participated. Sam was offered M&M candies. He was given two choices:
Choice #1: Sam gets three M&Ms
Mike gets two M&Ms
Choice #2: Sam gets five M&Ms
Mike gets six M&Ms
Sam chose the first option—he was very competitive. Notice that in the second option he could actually have increased his own gain but Michael would have gotten more candies. Sam was driven to be one up from Michael no matter what the gain.
Before we continue, we need to define ethical behavior. Many of the examples in this book about unethical behavior are actions that

Warning about uncertified appliancesComment on this story
Cape Town -
Electrical appliances which are not certified by the SA Bureau of Standards (SABS) pose a serious threat to consumers' lives, Parliament's energy portfolio committee warned on Tuesday.
"This follows shocking revelations by the SABS that there are tons of locally and internationally manufactured products which do not conform to the prescribed quality national standards," it said in a statement.
During recent oversight visits in Gauteng, committee members were told by SABS CEO Boni Mehlomakulu that some state institutions, including certain municipalities, "continued to procure and utilise some products that were untested for standards compliance".
The committee said the production and trading of electricity appliances by some manufactures without the SABS certification was "a serious threat to the economy and consumers' lives". - Sapa

Minions feature film (spoiler)
For the Despicable Me fans out there, in addition to Despicable Me 2 which is due out soon, there's a side-quel coming, featuring the Minions as main characters. It's due for release in December of 2014. Linky
Actually, it's a prequel. In it, we learn that the Minions have existed throughout all of recorded history, serving various super villains (and ending up destroying them via their clumsiness). The prequel is set in the 1960s where the Minions set about finding a new villain to work for (this is before they ever meet Gru of course). The villain will be played by Sandra Bullock.
The minions film also has its own Twitter feed, @MinionsMovie

Article: Both FOXP1 and p65 expression are adverse risk factors in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A retrospective study in China[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of FOXP1 and p65 expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine the expression of FOXP1 and p65 protein in 92 DLBCL tissues and analyze their correlations with clinicopathological features or prognosis of patients. The survival was assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method and proportional hazards model. Results showed that positive FOXP1 expression was detected in 68 (73.9%) cases and positive p65 expression was detected in 56 (60.9%) cases. There were 46 (50.0%) co-expression of FOXP1 and p65 protein in all cases, a positive correlation between the expression of FOXP1 and p65 was noted (r=0.234, p=0.025). The status of FOXP1 was correlated with patient's age, worse performance status score, higher lactate dehydrogenase levels and International Prognostic Index (IPI) factor score. The status of p65 was correlated with patient's age, B symptom and higher IPI factor scores. Both FOXP1 and p65 protein expression were associated with the non-GCB phenotype (p=0.001 or 0.000). The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that both FOXP1 and p65 expression were associated with poor survival of patients. Meanwhile, FOXP1+/p65+ subgroup had the worst PFS (p=0.012) and OS (p=0.030), whereas the FOXP1-/p65- subgroup had the best prognosis. Thus, immunohistochemical assessment of both FOXP1 and p65 status in DLBCL tissues may be a valuable approach for predicting the survival of DLBCL patients.Acta histochemica 07/2012; 115(2).

ABSTRACT: For lack of the biomarker, early diagnosis of prostate cancer is often difficult. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is an important oncogene and a major structural coat protein of caveolae, which is involved in multiple cellular functions including molecular transport, cell adhesion, and signal transduction, as well as in the development and progression of prostate cancer. Cav-1 is secreted as a biologically active molecule that promotes cell survival and angiogenesis within the tumor microenvironment, and is overexpressed in the metastatic and primary sites of human prostate cancer. Secreted Cav-1 can be detected in the peripheral blood, and its expression level has an indicative value in the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. This review focuses on the structure and biological characteristics of Cav-1 and its correlation with prostate cancer.Zhonghua nan ke xue = National journal of andrology 07/2012; 18(7):635-8.
Article: Chu XY, Chen LB, Wang JH, et al. Overexpression of survivin is correlated with increased invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of survivin expression with metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). RT-PCR and Western blot assays were performed to detect survivin expression in CRC cells and normal intestinal epithelial cell. The expression of survivin gene was also detected in 15 CRC tissues, surrounding and adjacent colon tissues. Moreover, survivin expression in 48 CRC tissues with or without lymph node metastasis was analyzed. Multivariate analysis for lymph node metastasis was performed using logistic regression model. RNA interference was used to inhibit survivin expression in CRC cells and analyze its effect on invasion and metastasis of CRC cells. The expression levels of survivin mRNA and protein were higher in CRC cells than in normal intestinal epithelial cell line. The average levels of survivin mRNA and protein were higher in CRC tissues than surrounding or adjacent colon tissues (P < 0.05). High survivin expression was an independent factor for predicting lymph node metastasis of CRC (P = 0.043). RNAi-mediated survivin knockdown could significantly inhibit in vitro invasion and in vivo metastasis of CRC cells, which might be inactivation of matrix metalloproteinases. Targeting survivin will be a potential strategy to suppress metastasis of CRC.Journal of Surgical Oncology 05/2012; 105(6):520-8. DOI:10.1002/jso.22134 · 3.24 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: FOXM1, a member of the Forkhead Box (Fox) family of transcription factors, plays a critical role in tumor development and metastasis. The aim of this study was to elucidate its role in colorectal cancer (CRC), particularly prognosis and metastasis. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot assays were used to measure the expression levels of FOXM1 mRNA and protein in 15 CRC and adjacent normal mucosa tissues. Immunohistochemical assay was performed to detect FOXM1 protein expression in 112 CRC tissues and further determine its clinicopathological and prognostic significance. RNA interference (RNAi) was used to knockdown endogenous FOXM1 expression in CRC cell lines and to analyze the effects of FOXM1 knockdown on migration and invasion of CRC cells. The relative expression levels of FOXM1 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in CRC tissues than in adjacent normal mucosa tissues (P<0.01). In addition, the immunostaining of FOXM1 protein was stronger in CRC tissues than in adjacent normal mucosa tissues. By statistical analysis, we showed that high FOXM1 expression was closely correlated with the presence of lymph node metastasis, incidence of liver metastasis, and advanced TNM stage. Moreover, the cumulative 5-year survival rate of CRC patients with high FOXM1 expression was lower than that of those with low FOXM1 expression (P=0.0047). Multivariate analysis showed that the status of FOXM1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for CRC patients (P=0.025). Furthermore, RNAi-mediated FOXM1 knockdown could significantly inhibit growth, migration and invasion of CRC cells. Our results showed that FOXM1 over-expression is a molecular marker predicting increased invasive/metastatic potential of CRC and a poorer prognosis.Acta histochemica 02/2012; 114(8):755-62.

Article: Relationship between RGS5 expression and differentiation and angiogenesis of gastric carcinoma.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To explore the regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5) expression in gastric carcinoma and its association with differentiation and microvascular density (MVD). Expression of RGS5 and CD34 were examined in 76 cases of gastric carcinoma, including 22 cases with lymph node metastasis and 54 cases without lymph node metastasis determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). MVD was assessed using CD34 monoclonal antibody. The presence of RGS5 and CD34 was analyzed by IHC using the Envision technique. The RGS5 expression in gastric carcinoma was positively correlated with the differentiation of the tumor (r = 0.345, P < 0.001), but not related with age, gender, tumor size, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P > 0.05). The average MVD in the group with lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than that in the group without lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). RGS5 expression was negatively correlated with the average MVD (P < 0.05). RGS5 expression level in gastric carcinoma is associated with the differentiation and MVD of the tumor, and may be used as an important parameter for determining the prognosis of gastric carcinoma patients.World Journal of Gastroenterology 11/2010; 16(44):5642-6. · 2.37 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: To investigate whether the STK15 mRNA expression correlates with clinicopathologic features and the prognosis of HCC patients. Three hepatoma cell lines, two normal liver epithelial cell lines, hepatoma tissues, adjacent tumor tissues and normal liver tissues were obtained from 46 HCC patients. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR assays were performed to detect the expression of STK15 mRNA in above cell lines and tissues. Moreover, the expression of STK15 protein in hepatoma tissues, adjacent tumor tissues and normal liver tissues was also examined by immunohistochemical staining. Finally, correlations between STK15 mRNA expression and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of HCC patients were evaluated. STK15 mRNA showed higher levels in hepatoma cell lines than in normal liver epithelial cell lines. Moreover, the mean levels of STK15 mRNA and protein expression showed statistical difference between tumor tissues, tumor adjacent tissues and normal liver tissues (P<0.01). By immunohistochemical analysis, we found that paraffin-embedded archival HCC tissues showed higher expression of STK15 than adjacent tumors and normal liver tissues. Furthermore, HCC patients with higher STK15 mRNA expression showed poorer prognosis than those with lower STK15 mRNA expression. The high level of STK15 mRNA expression was significantly correlated with tumor stage (P=0.0081), more frequent lymph node (P=0.0380) or hematogenous metastasis (P=0.0066), and a higher incidence of cancer-related death (P=0.0083). Furthermore, the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates of HCC patients with higher STK15 mRNA expression group (47.6% and 52.7%) were significantly lower than those of patients with low STK15 mRNA expression group (56.9% and 68.8%, P=0.0018 and 0.0047). STK15 mRNA might be a good marker for predicting the prognosis of HCC patients.Clinical biochemistry 03/2009; 42(7-8):641-7. DOI:10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2009.01.023 · 2.28 Impact Factor
Article: Wang R, Geng J, Wang JH, Chu XY, Geng HC, Chen LBOverexpression of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) and its clinical significance in lung adenocarcinoma. Lung Cancer 66: 237-244[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), an important regulator of translation, plays important roles in tumor transformation, progression and metastasis. However, the clinical significance of eIF4E expression in lung adenocarcinoma (AdC) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the expression of eIF4E gene in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and tissues, and to investigate its relationship with clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma in combination with p53 status. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting assays were performed to detect the expression of eIF4E mRNA and protein in normal human lung epithelial cell line, immortalized lung epithelial cell line and lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Additionally, the expression of eIF4E gene was also detected in 32 cases of lung adenocarcinoma tissues, tumor adjacent tissues and tumor surrounding normal tissues by the same methods. Moreover, expression of eIF4E and the status of p53 in specimens from 76 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were examined by immunohistochemical staining. Correlations between eIF4E expression and clinicopathological features, and the effect of eIF4E on prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma were evaluated by statistical analysis. The levels of eIF4E mRNA and protein expression were higher in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and in telomerase-immortalized lung epithelial cell line than in the normal lung epithelial cell line. The expression of eIF4E gene showed statistical difference between tumor tissues, tumor adjacent tissues and tumor surrounding normal tissues (P<0.05). Moreover, the higher levels of eIF4E expression were correlated with poorer differentiation (P=0.012), higher pathological stage (P<0.0001) and clinical stage (P=0.002), a higher incidence of hematogenous metastasis (P=0.007) and cancer-related death (P=0.036). The 5-year survival rate of patients with higher eIF4E expression was significantly lower than that of patients with lower eIF4E expression (P=0.0045). Furthermore, in a multivariate analysis by Cox regression model, high eIF4E expression was confirmed to be an independent prognostic factor (HR: 2.258; unfavorable, P=0.0056), while lymph node (HR: 2.033; unfavorable, P=0.0440) and hematogenous metastasis (HR: 3.489; unfavorable, P<0.0001) were also significant prognostic factors. High eIF4E expression was correlated with poorer overall survival in lung adenocarcinoma patients. eIF4E might be a better clinical marker predicting the prognosis for lung adenocarcinoma patients in combination with p53 status.Lung cancer (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 03/2009; 66(2):237-44.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between p27Kip1 low expression in breast cancer and its prognostic implication in breast carcinoma patients. Methods All data that were associated with the study of the relationship between p27Kip1 and the prognosis for breast cancer was pooled from Cochrane library, PubMed, Embase and Medlinebase. The outcome was measured using the risk ratio (RR). Data pooling was performed by RevMan 4. 2. Results 6457 patients from 20 studies were included in this meta-analysis. RR estimate of overall survival (OS) for patients with low level p27Kip1 was 2.07 [1.66,2.60] (P<0.01). For disease free survival (DFS), the pooled RR was 1.27 [1.10,1.47] (P<0.05). The combined RR estimate of relapse free survival (RFS) for patients with low level of p27Kip1 was 1.49 [0.92, 2.42] (P >0.05). In patients with lymph node negative breast carcinoma, the combined RR for OS and RFS were 1.98 [1.34,2.91] (P <0.01) and 1.28 [0.45,3.65] (P > 0.05), respectively. Among the patients with lymph node positive breast carcinoma, the combined RR for OS and RFS was 1.92 [1.31, 2.82] (P=0.0009) and 1.35 [0.96,1.89] (P>0.05) respectively. Conclusions Low level of p27Kip1 appears to be an independent prognostic factor to OS and DFS of breast cancer patients but not to RFS. Additional studies with large patient number and widely accepted practical methods are required to derive the precise prognostic significance of p27Kip1 expression in breast cancer patients.Zhonghua bing li xue za zhi Chinese journal of pathology 02/2008; 37(2):92-8.
Article: Effect of bone marrow-derived monocytes transfected with RNA of mouse colon carcinoma on specific antitumor immunity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived monocytes transfected with RNA of CT-26 (a cell line of mouse colon carcinoma) on antitumor immunity. Mouse bone marrow-derived monocytes were incubated with mouse granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) in vitro, and the purity of monocytes was detected by flow cytometry. Total RNA of CT-26 was obtained by TRIzol's process, and monocytes were transfected by TransMessenger in vitro. The activity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vivo was estimated by the modified lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Changes of tumor size in mice and animal's survival time were observed in different groups. Monocytes from mouse bone marrow were successfully incubated, and the positive rate of CD11b was over 95%. Vaccination of the monocytes transfected with total RNA induced a high level of specific CTL activity in vivo, and made mice resistant to the subsequent challenge of parental tumor cells. In vivo effects induced by monocytes transfected with total RNA were stronger than those induced by monocytes pulsed with tumor cell lysates. Antigen presenting cells transfected with total RNA of CT-26 can present endogenous? tumor antigens, activate CTL, and effectively induce specific antitumor immunity.World Journal of Gastroenterology 03/2005; 11(5):760-3.

Product Great - In Store Service Poor!
Blood Builder review posted by Barb Neal on 3/27/12
MegaFood Blood Builder is great. I donate blood and my iron level is always excellent. I especially like the fact that it is organic.
On the downside, my local store (where I pick up the product); can never seem to find it. Their system to organize online purchases is a nightmare. I'm constantly having to wait while they scramble to locate my order.

English Premiership Correct Score Predictions: Week 14 – 05/12/09
As Christmas looms, the 2009/10 EPL table is taking shape, with Chelsea looking dominant and Portsmouth looking doomed. Can Liverpool break into the top four, and will Bolton be able to escape the bottom three?

Note: These matches have already been played. For this weeks predictions, click here.
Saturday, 5 December 2009
Arsenal v Stoke – Arsenal suffered their first home defeat of the season, with a comprehensive 3-0 loss at the hands of London rivals Chelsea. Manager Arsene Wenger maintains that his side still have genuine title ambitions, but Chelsea's victory opened up an eleven point gap between the two sides. Arsenal do have the benefit of a game in hand, but they will need to win the majority of their remaining games if they are to repay the managers faith. Stoke held out for a goalless draw with Blackburn, moving onto twenty points for the season, just five behind the Gunners. Tony Pulis and his men will expect a sterner examination at the Emirates, but will take heart from an away record this season which has seen them defeated just twice. Verdict 2-0.
Aston Villa v Hull – Aston Villa have fallen off the pace of late with two successive 1-1 draws, the latest one against fellow Champions League hopefuls Tottenham. That result left them in sixth place, and outside of the European places on goal difference. Opponents Hull have started to turn around their fortunes, and a hard fought 1-1 draw at Manchester City helped move them to fifteenth place, four points clear of the relegation zone. Verdict 2-1.
Blackburn v Liverpool – Blackburn were forced to settle for a point after a goalless encounter with Stoke. The hosts missed a succession of chances and remain in the bottom half of the table, five points above the drop-zone. Liverpool eased some of the disappointment over their early Champions League exit with a 2-0 win over local rivals Everton. The three points helped the Reds into fifth, just three points behind third placed Spurs. Verdict 1-3.
Man City v Chelsea – Manchester City were involved in a seventh successive draw, succumbing to a late Jimmy Bullard penalty at home to Hull. The sequence of results has severely dented their title ambitions, leaving them fourteen points behind opponents Chelsea. The Blues strengthened their own position at the top of the table with a 3-0 victory at Arsenal, leaving them five points clear of nearest rivals Manchester United. Verdict 1-2.
Portsmouth v Burnley – New boss Avram Grant will have no doubts about the size of task he faces at Portsmouth, after watching his side slump to a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United. Portsmouth have managed just seven points from their opening fourteen matches, and are a further seven away from safety. Burnley followed two successive draws with defeat at West Ham, despite scoring three goals. The 5-3 goal-fest left Burnley comfortably mid-table, a position which many of their fans would have happily taken if offered pre-season. Verdict 1-1.
West Ham v Man Utd – West Ham scored five in a thrilling 5-3 win over Burnley, their third win of the season pushing them clear of the bottom three. Gianfranco Zola's men will be aware that chances will be at a premium against the Champions, whilst the Reds will also offer more of a threat than the Clarets. Manchester United returned to Premiership action with a 4-1 win over bottom of the table Portsmouth, a Wayne Rooney hat-trick helping the team to consolidate second spot. Verdict 1-3.
Wigan v Birmingham – Wigan followed their 9-1 drubbing at the hands of Spurs with a clean sheet, in a 1-0 win over a toothless Sunderland. Despite the dour nature of the match, Wigan fans will be pleased to return to winning ways, and will hope to follow this up with a further three points against Birmingham to leap above them in the table. Birmingham have taken six points from six with back-to-back 1-0 wins, the latest at struggling rivals Wolves. A win at Wigan could take the Blues as high as eighth, and enhance their chances of Premiership survival. Verdict 1-1.
Wolverhampton v Bolton – Both Wolves and Bolton are languishing at the wrong end of the table, locked in a relegation fight. Despite a poor run of form, a win for the Trotters could help them to escape the relegation zone if Manchester United take all three points at West Ham. Verdict 0-1.
Sunday, 6 December 2009
Everton v Tottenham – Everton continued their slide down the table with defeat against local rivals Liverpool. The 2-0 loss leaves David Moyes and his team in sixteenth spot, with the manager acknowledging that his team are embroiled in a relegation fight. Spurs took a point from Aston Villa to remain in third place, on target for Champions League qualification, and will be looking for a return of the attacking form which saw them demolish Wigan 9-1. Verdict 1-2.
Fulham v Sunderland – Fulham took a point from struggling Bolton to move into the top half of the table. Despite dominating throughout, it took a second half Damien Duff equaliser to earn a share of the spoils for the Cottagers. Sunderland failed to score against a Wigan side who had conceded nine the week before, but remain in the hunt for a European place. Verdict 1-1.

First lady Obama attends funeral for slain Chicago teen
CHICAGO — She didn't say anything, but she didn't have to.
First lady Michelle Obama — simply by filing into a church pew on Chicago's South Side on Saturday and mourning the killing of a smiling 15-year-old girl she had never met — spotlighted the everyday gun and gang violence plaguing the nation's cities.
"Genocide," one eulogist called it, lamenting that guns have "become part of our wardrobe."
Another exhorted the politicians in the pews: "Don't give us lip service."
The Rev. Michael Pfleger vowed: "We must become the interrupters of funeral processions seeking to bury our future."
Since being gunned down in Chicago a week after performing with the King College Prep high school's majorette team during President Obama's second inaugural festivities, Hadiya Pendleton has become a symbol for the innocence lost to senseless shootings.
The first lady, who met privately with Pendleton's family and about 30 of her classmates, did not speak at the funeral, which lasted for four hours. But her appearance carried heavy political overtones, occurring as the president is pressuring Congress to enact tougher gun laws.
For the Obamas, the teen's death on Jan. 29 hit home — Pendleton went to school only a mile from the Obamas' family home. The Obamas thought about their daughters, Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, said Valerie Jarrett, a senior White House adviser and close friend of the Obamas.
"It's personal for us," said Jarrett, who accompanied Michelle Obama to the funeral. "The first lady and I grew up in Chicago. It could have been our daughters. So as residents of Chicago, residents of the South Side, our heart just goes out to her family. ... We may not have known her, but she's a part of our family, too."
Education Secretary Arne Duncan, a former Chicago Public Schools chief, sat with Jarrett and the first lady. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, both Democrats, also attended, as did the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
To Pendleton's mother, known as Cleo, the show of dignitaries was at times overwhelming. "You kind of don't know how to act," she confessed.

Microsoft security manager warns of the dangers of rootkits
Spyware and malware have been an ongoing problem for personal computer users, but recently the bad guys have started to get really nasty. Once, the worst one had to fear was that an e-mail attachment might be a trojan horse in disguise, and infect files on your computer. Such nasties could (usually) be easily removed by anti-virus software, much of which was available for free.

This thread is dedicated for all those viral emails you get that have no references yet state that "the Prophet said this or did that" or "the Deen says this and that", etc. This includes emails, pictures, attachments and everything that is sent in the name of the Deen. I'm sure we are all spammed with such emails. Some of them are truthful, but 90% of the time, they are full of garbage. Usually, at the end of such emails, you are instructed to forward it to 10 people. In some emails, it is mentioned that if you do not forward it, you will suffer with some sort of affliction. Post all your FW: 'Islamic' emails here and have them checked out. If you are not lazy enough, use the quote facility to place the FW: email in, then follow it up with your own comments or questions/answers. This thread has bene initiated in light of the Mutawaatir Hadith of the Prophet peace be upon him: "Whoever lies against me wilfully, he might as well take his place in the Fire", and the Hadith reported by Imam Muslim: "For a person, perpetrating a lie by conveying whatever he hears is sufficient". May Allah give us all the Tawfeeq. Ameen.

The past century hasn't been an easy road for Indonesia. Since the liberation from the Japanese in 1945, and through the rise and fall of the oppressive Soeharto regime (lasting for nearly three decades), Indonesians as a people have learned to "suck it up and soldier on" so to say. 16 years ago, the capital was inches away from tearing itself to pieces in the wake of riots and anarchy-filled streets. But from the rubble and chaos, Indonesia was able to quickly pull itself up by the bootstraps and march forward once again. As one of the youngest democracies in the world, it has also been forced to grow up faster than some of its other Southeast Asian counterparts. So in that sense, it's fair to say the nation is maturing quite quickly.
With a new president elect, an educated young generation is increasingly hopeful about international business opportunities and domestic policy. For the first time in 100 years, Jakarta is electrified with exciting innovations and flourishing startups. The internet has played a vital role. Increased global communication the world over has helped slingshot the country into an economic expansion. Faster web speeds have also put Indonesia in a position to solve some of its own problems and foster a one-of-a-kind identity. In light of Indonesia's Independence Day today, here are five tech products that you'll only understand if you live in the world's largest archipelago.
Jakarta is one of the world's most notorious cities for debilitating traffic. It's not uncommon for locals to show up hours late to a luncheon because they were fighting congested roadways. While the real solution will need to come from an infrastructure overhaul, LewatMana is an app that can help ease the transition in the meantime. LewatMana helps Indonesian commuters dodge traffic with live CCTV feeds during travel times. Singaporeans may not understand the utility of the app, as they simply board their clean and air-conditioned MRT. But ask an Indonesian who has ever sat on the back of a motorbike, inhaling black smoke from a Kopaja bus on Jalan Sudirman, and they will assure you LewatMana is a life-saver. Users can effectively get updated with traffic conditions in real-time without needing to buy a GPS kit. LewatMana is available on Android (Lite version), Blackberry, iOS, and Windows Phone.

Another way of coping with Indonesian traffic is by letting someone else deal with it for you. Motorcycle taxis (aka ojeks) are a convenient way to get across town quicker than you could in a car, provided you don't mind sweating and smelling like gasoline for the rest of the afternoon. But unlike traditional taxis, and true to the Indonesian way, this is a completely unregulated industry. Often, shady individuals will lean against trees and "cat-call" for potential customers. GO-JEK brings safety, reliability, and accountability to the ojek experience. The site not only lets users easily order an ojek anywhere in Jakarta, but also provides an instant courier service along with home delivery for groceries and takeout meals. The site is currently in the process of developing a mobile app with several new updates and features.
HijUp is Indonesia's fashion ecommerce site for Muslim women. One of the only local players bringing new chic style to traditional Islamic apparel, HijUp has hit the Indonesian market over the head with a sledge hammer. Last year the site recorded between 45,000 and 90,000 daily pageviews (1.3 to 2.7 million per month), and had the 12th most popular Indonesian YouTube channel.
Indonesians are curious cats. Gossip is a big part of the culture here in Jakarta, and as such, locals want to know how high of a salary their neighbor is earning. Qerja is giving us something to talk about. This fresh new company is emerging from the Ideabox accelerator and acts as a localized version of Glassdoor, the famous US startup that lets users compare average salaries and benefits of working for any given company. Indonesian locals can now refer to Qerja to set their own personal working and payment standards. The founders are keeping low profiles (as the site is still in its beta version), but the service is disruptive to say the least.

Kawal Pemilu
For those of you who don't know, Indonesia is blatantly rife with corruption, with a long history of cheating and alleged political fraud. For these reasons, and with all the media coverage in recent months, locals are hailing the creators of Kawal Pemilu (English translation: "Election Guards") as the nation's new wave of tech patriots.
Kawal Pemilu is a 700-person team of volunteers who counted the 2014 presidential vote tally documents manually and released the results online in real-time. Although the Indonesian elections are over, and the winner has been announced, locals can expect to see Kawal Pemilu in a more sophisticated form come future elections. Having been referred to as a team of tech freedom fighters, Kawal Pemilu galvanized voters this year, and redefined what it means to to live in an Indonesian democracy.

Jet Ski's
Jet Ski's have become a major force in boating over the last few years, now accounting for over 1/3 of new boat sales annually. There are about one million Jet Ski's in use today! That is a huge number of boats, and unfortunately there is an equal amount of misunderstanding to go along with them. Did you know that a Jet Ski was even considered a boat? Many people don't, and think of them more as toys that require no training or knowledge of how they work.
When Jet Ski's first came on the market, they were generally designed for only one person and were designed for high manoeuvrability. They were usually only available as stand-up models, and had few features. Over the last several years, two, three and even four seat models have become the top sellers. These craft are much more substantial than earlier craft, and are even capable of pulling a water skier. Today's models generally come with a good deal of storage space for gear, and have a very traditional "dashboard" with gauges. Remember, your Jet Ski operator's manual will tell you the specifics of your boat, including tips on safe operation, and how many people you can safely carry.Safety Virtually no Jet Ski's have running lights as all manufacturers recommend that they only be used during daylight. In fact, many countries ban the use of Jet Ski's at night. You are required to have Personal Floatation Devices and these are to be worn at all times whilst on a Jet Ski. Some areas require an adult to be on board when a minor is operating the craft, or may require completion of a boating safety course before a minor can legally operate a Jet Ski. There may be regulated speed limits, noise limits, hours of operation, and distance from other boats or objects that you may operate your Jet Ski. How They Work Jet Ski's are operated by two-cycle inboard petrol engines, which drive a jet of water pump. Water is taken in through a water pick-up on the bottom of the Jet Ski, drawn into an internal propeller (an impeller) that creates a jet of high pressure water which exits through a nozzle on the back of the Jet Ski. There is also a moveable "gate" that can be dropped over the nozzle to provide reverse thrust on some models. Be careful, this is not designed to be used to stop a Jet Ski operating at a high speed!
Jet Ski's are designed to be extremely manoeuvrable. They are built for quick, sharp turns, low-radius circling, and rapid acceleration. However, they are only manoeuvrable with the throttle engaged – to maintain steerage, you must apply throttle! For instance, the best way to avoid hitting an object is NOT to slow down, rather, you should apply throttle and steer away to avoid impact. Most models have an automatic cut-off lanyard (which must be attached to the operator's wrist or life jacket at all times) or self-circling feature to prevent a Jet Ski from going far from a driver who has fallen off.
Jet Ski's are self-righting if you fall off. Don't abandon your vessel if it overturns. Simply turn it over on the direction marked on the hull or as indicated in the user's manual that you read prior to use. Righting your craft improperly may make it more difficult than necessary to re-board, and you could cause internal damage to your Jet Ski. To re-board your craft, approach the rear of the Jet Ski, pull yourself up into a kneeling position, take your seat, start it up and continue on your trip. This sounds easier than it is – it is often quite difficult to re-board a Jet Ski, especially in rough water or when fatigued. A good idea is to practice in calm shallow water before venturing out.
Practice boarding your Jet Ski in a calm shallow area with your friends or family. If you have difficulty getting back on a Jet Ski from the water, you should most likely avoid using your Jet Ski in areas where there is a strong current or high waves. There are "ladders" available to help you climb back on – definitely a worthwhile investment. Finally, don't forget to re-attach your cut-off lanyard!
When operating a Jet Ski, keep clear of shallow water (less than two feet deep) or beds of sea grass or other vegetation. Since a Jet Ski sucks water in to power its water jet, it is best not to operate in these waters. This will help keep dirt and debris from fouling the impeller, which could lead to power loss or damage to your Jet Ski.Preventing Accidents Be aware of what is around you. The leading cause of Jet Ski accidents is striking an object (usually another Jet Ski). If you are operating your Jet Ski in a congested area, slow down and look at what the boats around you are doing. To avoid being struck yourself, always look for other boats before making sharp or sudden turns.
Because Jet Ski's are so small and manoeuvrability it is best to always give the other boats the right of way. Larger boats may not see you, and may not be able to get out of your way in time to avoid contact. Keeping a proper lookout can save your life! As with any boat, operate at a safe speed. It is very easy to get thrown from a Jet Ski, especially if you hit wakes or turn too quickly. Operating at a safe speed for the conditions will lower the risk of an accident.
If you lend your Jet Ski to a friend, make sure they know the Rules of the Road and how to operate your Jet Ski. Large portions of Jet Ski accidents occur with rental Jet Ski's or when people other than the owner are operating the vessel.Jet Ski Etiquette With the rapid rise in the number of Jet Ski's, there have been many complaints about their use and misuse. Many people would love to see them outlawed altogether. With common sense and common courtesy, both Jet Ski users and traditional boaters can coexist and enjoy their time on the water. Following some simple operating procedures can help eliminate the majority of complaints against Jet Ski's
Noise is probably the number one complaint about Jet Ski use. Though manufacturers are continually developing quieter motor and exhaust systems (Jet Ski motors all operate within legal limits for noise) there are many complaints about noise. The best way to avoid noise complaints is to follow the Rules of the Road and also to avoid operating at high speed near the shoreline and other boaters. Riding through surf and boat wakes is dangerous.
Obey the law! If all Jet Ski users faithfully obeyed the law, there would be far fewer complaints, and consequently far fewer usage restrictions. Jet Ski operators control their own destiny.

Your daily media round up of all the key stories affecting local government
Work programme
Iain Duncan Smith's 'work programme' is open to fraud and allows contractors to 'cherry pick' the most profitable job-seekers, a report by the Public Accounts Committee has found. The Times reports that as a third charity, St Mungo's, pulls out of the programme, parliamentarians are concerned that contractors are able to abuse the 'payment-by-results' system and that despite companies being paid more to assist the hardest to help, there is little evidence that they are taking up these clients.
Pupil premium
The Independent reports that the government will not ring-fence the £2.5bn pupil premium funding, intended to help schools to help the most disadvantaged pupils. In a speech yesterday, deputy prime minister Nick Clegg offered schools a new deal under which they would enjoy the freedom to spend the scheme's funding in return for them redoubling efforts to close the gap between the poorest pupils and their other peers. However, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) Christine Blower said that the pupil premium was simply being used to "plug gaps in schools' budgets because of other funding cuts" by the government".
School Food
Nine out of 10 academies are selling junk food, such as crisps and chocolate, to pupils, the Guardian says. The paper notes that the practice is banned in maintained schools in order to protect children's health. The paper says that findings by the School Food Trust contradict education secretary Michael Gove's claims that academies are following high nutritional standards. The paper notes that Mr Gove previously said that neither academies nor free schools were compelled to adhere to the restrictions on selling certain snack foods, which has now led to calls for the standards to become universal across all schools.
Special Needs Provision
Hundreds of thousands of children face being taken off the special needs register because they have been wrongly labelled as requiring extra help, the government will announce today. Under what the Daily Telegraph says will be the biggest shake-up of the system for 30 years, Ministers will "toughen up" rules on the diagnosis of behavioural and learning difficulties, following concerns that schools are "abusing" the system to "disguise poor teaching" and climb league tables. The paper says that for the first time, rigorous screening measures will be introduced to prevent pupils from being classed as having special educational needs when they have merely fallen behind or caused disruption in class. A single assessment covering education, health and care will be introduced, to avoid schools "over-identifying" pupils with special needs in order to attract more funding from local authorities and boost their position in weighted league tables.
Civil Service
Civil servants have been told they can work from home for seven weeks during the Olympic period, prompting "incredulity" from MPs, ministers and business leaders, according to the Times. The paper says that Whitehall will institute a "cut or change" journey targets for civil servants, adding that mail and package deliveries will also be diverted or suspended, leading to questions over whether government operations will "grind to a halt".
Road charging
There is a "compelling" case for road charging in the UK rather than the current system funded by taxes on fuel, the BBC has reported. A report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), funded by the policy arm of the RAC, suggested a "radical overhaul" of road taxes was needed.
Business Growth
Prime minister David Cameron has been urged by business leaders to urgently press ahead with measures to boost enterprise following a weekend in which senior ministers told corporate critics to "stop whingeing" and "worker harder". The Financial Times says that more constructive talks were held at yesterday's quarterly meeting of Mr Cameron's Business Advisory Group, despite Number 10's internal concerns that senior ministers had previously chosen to criticise business groups so openly. Director general of the CBI John Cridland has called for the government to press for an outcome to long-running talks on unlocking investment in infrastructure by pension funds and insurance companies. He also sought more action on deregulation to make it easier for firms to hire and fire employees.
Regional pay
Deputy prime minister Nick Clegg has "poured cold water on plans to impose regional pay bargaining in the public sector," the Guardian reports. Mr Clegg said at an event in north London that "we are not going to be able simply, willy-nilly, to exacerbate a north-south divide."
Alcohol pricing
Scottish ministers will introduce a minimum alcohol price of 50p a unit, "pushing up the cost of cheap vodka by nearly 50%," the Guardian reports. It says the move was "a tougher line than anticipated."

In these objects, the Body or Binary field contains the (base64 encoded) data, while the BodyLength field defines the length of the data in the Body or Binary field. In the Document object, you can specify a URL to the document instead of storing the document directly in the record.
|Boolean fields have one of these values: true (or 1), or false (or 0).
|A set of bits.
|Date data. Fields of this type contain date values, such as ActivityDate in the Event object. Unlike dateTime fields, date fields contain no time
value—the time portion of a date field is not relevant and
is always set to midnight in the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
time zone.
If you specify a date value in a query, you can filter on date fields only.
|Date/time values (timestamps). Fields of this type handle date/time
values (timestamps), such as ActivityDateTime in the Event object or the CreatedDate, LastModifiedDate, or SystemModstamp in many objects. Regular
dateTime fields are full timestamps with a precision of one second.
They are always transferred in the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
time zone. In your client application,
you might need to translate the timestamp to or from a local time
If you specify a dateTime value in a query, you can filter on dateTime fields only.
Development tools differ in the way that they handle time data. Some development tools report the local time, while others report only the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time zone. To determine how your development tool handles time values, refer to its documentation.
|Double values. Fields of this type can contain fractional portions
(digits to the right of the decimal place), such as ConversionRate in CurrencyType. In the API,
all non-integer values (such as Currency Field Type and Percent Field Type) contain values of type double. Some restrictions may be applied
to double values:
The maximum number of digits to the left of the decimal place is equal to precision minus scale. In the online application, precision is defined differently—it is the maximum number of digits allowed to the left of the decimal place.
Values can be stored in scientific notation if the number is large enough (or, for negative numbers, small enough), as indicated by the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition specification.
|Fields of this type contain numbers with no fractional portion (digits to the right of a decimal place), such as the NumberOfEmployees in an Account. For integer fields, the digits field specifies the maximum number of digits that an integer can have.
|Character strings. Fields that are of data type string contain text and some have length restrictions depending on the data being stored. For example, in the Contact object, the FirstName field is 40 characters, the LastName field is 80 characters, the MailingStreet is 255 characters.
|Time values. Fields of this type handle time values, such as FridayEndTime in the BusinessHours object.
Development tools differ in the way that they handle time data. Some development tools report the local time, while others report only the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time zone. To determine how your development tool handles time values, refer to its documentation.
These data types are used in the SOAP messages that are exchanged between your client application and the API. When writing your client application, follow the data typing rules defined for your programming language and development environment. Your development tool handles the mapping of typed data in your programming language with these SOAP data types.
Primitive types are used as a standardized way to define, send, receive, and interpret basic data types in the SOAP messages exchanged between client applications and the API. In addition, primitive data types are interpreted in a Salesforce-specific way, which is useful for display formatting and for numeric conversion (adding values of different currencies).
For example, Salesforce chooses to interpret a double value passed via SOAP as a double in a number of possible ways, depending on the field definition. If the field type for that data is currency, Salesforce handles the display of the data by prepending it with a currency symbol and inserting a decimal for precision. Similarly, if the field type is percent, Salesforce handles the display of the data by appending a percent sign (%). Regardless of the field type, however, the value is sent in the SOAP message as a double.
The API uses data types called field types that are defined in the WSDLs. For more information, see Field Types.

FALMOUTH — When Falmouth High School graduate Tyler Christopher Solimine received his diploma, he faced the audience in the high school field house and took a bow.
In return, the 22-year-old student with Down syndrome got a standing ovation from his approximately 184 fellow graduates.
It's more proof that the Falmouth High School Class of 2104 is one of the best ever, Solimine's mother, Katherine Solimine said.
"The kids have included him in everything," she said during Saturday morning's graduation ceremony. Faculty and athletic staff were also great, she said.
For instance, coaches purchased a letterman's jacket for the young man, who volunteered with the football team.
Tyler Solimine beamed and waved his diploma as he left the stage. His mom wiped away tears.
"I admire you and respect you," Falmouth High School Principal Joseph Driscoll told the graduates. He told the parents in the audience that they did "a wonderful job."
The first day of kindergarten seems "like ages ago," Abby Pokraka, secretary-treasurer of the class, said. Their freshmen teachers were right, she said: four years of high school flew by.
Emily Turner, president of the National Honor Society, also sounded a wistful — and optimistic note — in her commencement address.
"After graduation, each of us is moving on to something new," she said in a talk that wove in themes from "The Great Gatsby." "We cannot return to this place," Turner said.
"We all have the ability and the potential to change the world," Molly Bagg, class president, said in the class farewell. It can be a big change — or a small one, she said.
"A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference," Bagg said.
Falmouth schools Superintendent Bonny Gifford, who is new this academic year, told the students she wished them continued success in her first commencement address in Falmouth.
"You have become thinkers, ready to take on the world," Gifford said.
Falmouth High School senior class vice president Holly Shanahan compared the students to ships leaving the safe port of high school, and talked about the fast vessels the high school sports teams are named after.
"We're not normal ships," Shanahan said. "We're Clipper ships, and that makes us strong."
During their addresses, students remembered to thank everybody from the custodians to the cafeteria workers.
Driscoll had the graduates in their maroon caps and gowns stand and applaud their parents and guardians.
As the new graduates exited to the concert band playing, "Music for the Royal Fireworks Overture," their parents and other members of the audience returned the ovation.

From time to time, I get honked at even when I'm riding safely and legally. I think the car driver is just angered at losing a few seconds of his or her precious time stuck behind a "toy" riding on the street. This seems more common in cities and towns with fewer cyclists. It's easy to be a bully when you are encased in steel and the object of your aggression is some person poor, silly, or stupid enough to ride a bicycle on the street.
Getting honked at is often starting and can be very dangerous. I suppose that the best response is to just ignore it and not let it bother you. How many of you race to catch up with the driver at the next light to yell or explain our rights to the driver? Does it do much good? Do you just smile and wave? Any advice on how to handle this without making my blood boil???
