Retaliation to Chase forefront at Kansas
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The question for Kurt Busch was simple: Did little brother Kyle get what he deserved from David Reutimann on Sunday at Kansas Speedway?
The answer wasn't so simple.
The 2004 champion explained how he's been on both sides of the "non-Chase driver wrecking a Chase driver" issue. He recalled how in 2005, non-Chaser Scott Riggs wrecked him on the third lap of the Chase opener at New Hampshire, basically taking him out of contention to defend his title before he began.
His conclusion?
"Being in the Chase doesn't protect you from guys slamming into you," Kurt Busch said Thursday during a stop at NASCAR's Hall of Fame to promote next week's race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "The times I've been in run-ins, it's easier to try and discuss things and really get each person's perspective from it with a discussion.
"If there still is a conflict, have at it. Let's wreck some cars."
In other words, Reutimann could have talked things over with Kyle before deciding that an earlier incident between the two was just cause for retaliation.
"If the talk didn't go well, then maybe you come back and retaliate later on when the spotlight is not on you," Kurt continued. "If you get wrecked in that race, NASCAR is always looking for you to do something in that same race. I think Reutimann could have done a different job."
Kurt gave us something else to think about, too. He reminded us that when Riggs wrecked him in 2005, there was speculation that was payback for an incident between the two at Indianapolis.
Now consider what Kurt said about Riggs after that race. Remember? "There are guys you race with, there are guys you can't. He [Riggs] doesn't really know where he is most of the time."
Sounds kind of like what we heard in August when Kyle questioned Reutimann's talent after the Bristol race. That sparked a war of words and likely had Reutimann on a short rope when it came to tolerance of anything involving Kyle.
"It all comes down to we don't like each other very much," Reutimann said the ensuing week. "It's been [going on for] a while. We just don't like each other, and we agree that we don't like each other and we're fine with it. We're pretty honest about it. I'm good with it."
In other words, when Kyle saw Reutimann loose ahead of him at Kansas, he should have known better than to get close enough to make contact. And after there was contact, he should have expected Reutimann to take some action.
"The spotter should have told Kyle [that] Reutimann was coming, and if Kyle wanted to get out of the way, he could have yielded to him then," Kurt said.
But there's more to this story. Reutimann complained earlier in the week about having potentially good finishes this year ruined by other drivers who have run over him. He said "sometimes you just have to do things to make people see what was once deemed acceptable is no longer acceptable."
Said Kurt, "If he's continuously getting run over, then he's a common denominator."
"I ran over him at Richmond because [when] he drove into the corner I thought he was giving me the bottom lane. I drove in to make a pass, and first thing you know we're together.
"He's setting the tone 'You can't push me around.'"
So did Kyle get what he deserved?
"It's racers being racers," Kurt said. "It's not every day that cars are running into each other, so when guys are running into each other, it's good to talk about. It's good for our sport."
Kurt then looked over his shoulder at the row of famous cars on Glory Road, from the black No. 3 that was driven by Dale Earnhardt to the No. 11 once driven by Darrell Waltrip.
"Everybody in here on top of this row has had their run-ins with other drivers," Kurt said. "It's what makes our sport what it is today. The fierce rivalries, the competitiveness, the fire you have to be a champion and to be a winning driver -- you're going to have conflicts.
"That's part of our sport."
Told you it wasn't simple.
Penalty upheld, and process improved
CONCORD, N.C. -- It was a tough call today. Sit outside of NASCAR's Research and Development Center and wait for the final appeal of Clint Bowyer's penalty at New Hampshire, or go to Martinsville and take laps around the half-mile track with David Reutimann.
Reutimann was the sexier story considering his run-in with Kyle Busch on Sunday at Kansas. It started the debate on whether a non-Chase driver has the right to pay back a Chase driver, something Reutimann addressed with reporters before taking them for a spin.
"Sometimes in life there comes a time when you've got to stand your ground and sometimes you have to do what, at the time, you know is not right and you look back and you may could have done things differently," Reutimann told reporters in Martinsville. "But in the end you sometimes have to stand up and do what's right by you.
"It's a slippery slope because if you're talking to a child, you're trying to project the right way to do things, you also have to explain that is not the way you want things to be done but sometimes you're backed into a corner and you don't' have a choice."
This was a huge topic of conversation as about half a dozen of us sat outside of the R&D Center for what I've dubbed "Survivor Concord: The Final Appeal." Greg Biffle even stopped by and shared his thoughts, ultimately saying he wouldn't put himself in the position Busch did by wrecking Reutimann earlier in the race.
For the record, I'm on the side that if payback is OK -- as NASCAR has allowed all season -- then it shouldn't matter whether you're in the Chase or not.
As you see from the dateline on this blog, I chose to go to Concord. I had to finish what was started last Wednesday when the National Stock Car Racing Commission ended a five-hour marathon by unanimously rejecting Richard Childress' appeal.
Today was much different. Instead of rain and cold, it was sunny and breezy. We also brought supplies such as chairs, power cords and food.
Childress' mood coming out of this appeal was just as different as the weather. A week ago he was angry, defiant, calling the process unfair. On Tuesday he was smiling, much more pleased with the way this process went.
He called it fair.
He is right. If NASCAR wants to end the bashing of its appeals process, then make the initial appeal more like Tuesday's before chief appellate officer John Middlebrook.
Allow both parties to have their say in front of each other. Allow them to cross-examine each other.
Put all the cards on the table.
That way more owners may leave that appeal like Childress left this one, believing they had been completely heard and feeling they had all the facts, not feeling like they were cheated.
"[If] today's procedure was done similar to that at the other appeal, we wouldn't be here today," Childress said.
And I wouldn't be sitting in a blue camping chair waiting to hear Middlebrook's final verdict. I would have been in Martinsville hearing Reutimann defend his right to take out Busch.
Dover is already crazy, and the race is yet to come
DOVER, Del. -- Let's straighten out a few issues from Dover International Speedway.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is ranked 21st in points and has had trouble finding his own pit box this season, told a reporter that David Reutimann, who is 16th in points and a contender to make the Chase until the final cutoff, needs to "polish up his craft."
Greg Biffle said it was an unfair advantage that Chase drivers -- he didn't mention names, but we should assume he's talking about Friday's pole-winner Jimmie Johnson and second-fastest Juan Pablo Montoya -- were allowed to participate in a tire test at Dover even though the test occurred a month before the 12-driver field was set.
Brian Vickers said the best way to make pit road safer is to get rid of it altogether, or maybe not race real cars at all, "just play video games."
OK, so Vickers' comment was tongue-in-cheek.
But it's been that kind of a crazy weekend so far at Dover, and it likely will get crazier before the second race of the Chase concludes Sunday afternoon.
Let's get Earnhardt and Reutimann out of the way first. Earnhardt obviously was upset that he had a car capable of at least a top-5 finish last weekend at New Hampshire before Reutimann lost control and sent him into the wall.
Reutimann admitted he made a mistake. He looked NASCAR's most popular driver in the eye and said he was sorry.
But Earnhardt still criticized him after the race and did so again at Dover. Just a guess, but this has to do more with frustration from a disappointing season for Earnhardt than Reutimann, or one wreck.
"He definitely hasn't had the kind of season I'm sure he would like," Reutimann said Saturday. "A lot of us haven't. He obviously had a very good racecar. When you get taken out, that's not going to sit very well with you.
"I can't blame him, but I've been hand-whipped pretty hard this week. You can only talk about somebody for so long before you get tired of it. That's kind of the point I'm at right now."
For the record, Reutimann didn't comment on how many times Earnhardt has missed his pit stall this season. He also didn't note that he qualified fifth this weekend and his chief critic will start 24th.
Now for the tires. The new compound Goodyear brought to the "Monster Mile" has some drivers and crew chiefs scratching their heads for the right setup.
Denny Hamlin, whose teammate Kyle Busch was one of eight drivers who participated in the earlier tire test, called the tires "just crap, really" and insisted that cars will slide all over the place.
"From what I hear they didn't bring back the tire that everyone liked," he said. "Same as Atlanta. They keep increasing the stagger in the tires, and it just keeps making guys loose in and loose off [the turns].
"They won't listen to us drivers, so I don't know why we even tire test these tracks anymore."
Apparently, Goodyear listened to Johnson, who suggested the tire manufacturer bring a combination that would put more mechanical grip in the car and let teams "back off some of the crazy setups we are running and tighten these cars up."
But if testing is such a big advantage, how do you explain the fact that Johnson wasn't one of what he called the "75,000 cars" that tested at Indianapolis and won the race?
"There is no doubt there is an advantage to it, but we overcame that at Indy and didn't have a chance to test there," he said.
In other words, everybody stop complaining.
Biffle should have more pressing worries. Although he qualified fourth, his four Roush Fenway Racing teammates qualified 21st or worse, and Bobby Labonte, using Roush Fenway equipment, was slower than only two cars.
What's alarming about that is the No. 71 Labonte drove last week at New Hampshire qualified 18th with David Gilliland.
"That constitutes how poorly we're doing [our] job [as well as] that Yates organization across the street," Biffle said. "We all have the same equipment and we're just not getting it done."
At least Biffle finally explained why the Roush cars are struggling. Apparently, it's all about corner speed.
"Let me explain that," he said. "There's two ways of getting a car to turn around the corner. One is the car turns with the front tires when you turn the steering wheel, it turns with the front tires, and it turns around the center of the corner you can push the gas down and off you go.
"The second way is if the front tires don't turn, they slide up the race track -- you cannot get them to turn. The only thing you could do is loosen the car up, take wedge out, do whatever you could do to try and get the back of the car loose enough to where you go around the corner with the back of the car turning. So the back of the car is sliding around the corner, almost, if you will, like a forklift."
And a forklift, he says, turns with the back tires and not the front. He says drivers have run faster on seven cylinders than the Roush cars because their corner speed is faster.
That's crazy.
And then there was real crazy, when Vickers was asked if crew members deliberately run out in front of other cars to slow them down on pit road.
"I can assure you that I'm trying to avoid people on pit road because I don't want to hurt anybody," he said.
Well, that's good to know.
That's when Vickers went from making pit roads wider to eliminating them to playing video games. Johnson, who was next in line for his weekend press appearance, seemed a bit surprised by the whole exchange.
"Everybody clear on the whole pit road deal Brian was talking about playing video games instead of driving?" he asked as he left the media center.
Yep, we've got it all straight.

Rumors coming out of WWE has it that two out of the three top officials are against doing a tribute for Perro Aguayo on Monday Night Raw. The belief is that Kevin Dunn and Vince McMahon are the two who do not want to bring potentially negative attention towards the company, while Triple H wants to honor a fallen star. He feels that it would bring goodwill from both the internet wrestling community and those in the industry.

There is evidence that early detection from breast cancer screening is an effective means to reduce overall mortality from breast cancer. Findings from multiple research studies suggest that women with chronic disabling conditions are less likely to participate in breast cancer screening due to the multiple barriers they face. Barriers include those related to finances, environment, physical limitations, health carers' attitudes and lack of knowledge, and psychosocial issues. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the existing evidence of the barriers to breast cancer screening experienced by women with physical disabilities. Rehabilitation nurses that work with women who have chronic disabling conditions can be instrumental in eliminating these barriers to breast cancer screening through their efforts to promote health which is consistent with the philosophy of maximizing the health potential and quality of life of these women whose needs are often overlooked.

Converting .ttf to .eot in Windows
Published on by Jason Rollins | Posts by This Author
@font-face is all the rage in the CSS world these days and I?ve been dying to give it a whirl. This entry won?t discuss the best practices in terms of CSS syntax or the ins-and-outs of @font-face; that has been done in numerous other places which I will link to at the bottom of this entry. I?d rather focus on a specific Windows-related issue.
Microsoft, why dost thou hate us so?
Once I got started messing with @font-face I soon found out, like most things in web design, Internet Explorer does not make our lives easy when it comes to this new feature. Of the browsers that currently support @font-face IE is the only one that doesn?t support .ttf or .otf files, you know, like every other browser that supports @font-face. Of course, it only supports the .eot format designed by Microsoft itself. :-P
Microsoft provides a program called WEFT to convert your .ttf files to .eot but (big surprise) it?s super clunky and on my computer it kept crashing every time I tried to create a font database. Undaunted, I knew there was a better way.
Note: If you?re trying to convert an .otf file to .eot you must first convert your .otf file to .ttf. I know, hassle right? I?ve read that FontForge is great for this process but haven?t tried it yet. If I do I?ll write another article about how that goes.
Enter ttf3eot, an open source utility to convert .ttf to .eot (hence the name). After reading the Wiki page I found that the utility is primarily a UNIX-based utility but they offer a Windows version. So for our purposes we need the zipped up Windows Executable. Extract the .exe to the desktop and you?re almost ready to go.
Get organized
Now you certainly don?t have to do this, but it helps me stay organized. Chances are you?re going to have to reuse this file again so why not set yourself up for the future? Here were my steps:
- Make a folder on your desktop called ?Web fonts? or whatever you want and drop the .exe inside.
- Next, copy a version of the font you want to convert into the new folder.
Now you?re ready to run the .exe.
Running ttf2eot
Bring up the command prompt by clicking Start >> Run? >> type
cmd and hit ?Enter?. The syntax for executing the file is as follows:
C:\>ttf2eot.exe C:\OLD-FONT.ttf C:\NEW-FONT.eot\
Now if you?re working within your new Web Fonts folder you?ll have to make sure you set your path down to the folder it?s sitting in. My command looks like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\rollinsj>Desktop\Web Fonts\ttf2eot.exe C:\Documents and Settings\rollinsj>Desktop\Web Fonts\OLD-FONT.ttf C:\Documents and Settings\rollinsj>Desktop\Web Fonts\NEW-FONT.eot
Note: Obviously your paths will be different than mine so take note of where you?re pointing. Especially be sure to watch where you?re placing your new .eot file. There?s no notification that the process has run so getting the path right is important.
Hit ?Enter?. If all goes well the conversion should be instantaneous; at least it was on my computer. Now you?ve got your .eot file so IE can be happy!
There are tons of great entries about @font-face out there. Topics run the gamut from performance to best practice syntax. Here are some of my favorites:
- Web-fonts.info
- @font-face in-depth
- Becoming a Font Embedding Master
- Bulletproof @font-face syntax
- @font-face and performance
What other problems have you all come across with @font-face? Do you hate it all together? Is there a better way? Let us know in the comments.
1 Comment
I found this handy app /* Credit: Stack Overflow */
It converts the .ttf to .eot on the fly. Instant download. With the straightforward CSS from here: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss3_font-face_rule
You an easily skirt yet another of Microsoft's attempts at making their users' experience less spectacular than people who use standards-compliant browsers.

Former Ambassador To The Holy See Reflects On Traits In Next Pope, Calls For Worldwide Dialogue
DAYTON, Ohio, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As Catholics enter the Lenten season, the former U.S. ambassador to the Holy See calls for "a worldwide dialogue with Catholics from every corner of the earth" about the leadership qualities desired in a new pope. "The church needs a global leader and healer who can creatively, critically and constructively welcome the richness and catholicity of the human family and dialogue with the world concerning the great challenges it faces at this moment in human history," said Miguel Diaz, who stepped down as ambassador in November to serve as University Professor of Faith and Culture at the University of Dayton."Wouldn't it be great if during Lent -- a period of prayer and fasting and conversion -- the Catholic church entered into a dialogue with the world's one billion Catholics on who their next leader should be?" A prominent Catholic theologian, Diaz was the first Hispanic to represent the United States at the Vatican. What leadership characteristics does this recent Vatican insider deem important? "We need a charismatic, inclusive and thoughtful spiritual leader," Diaz said. "We need a diplomat, someone who can bridge human differences, someone who can engage with Muslims, Hindus, Jews -- all religions and people of no religion." The next pope should encourage the recognition and flourishing of human gifts at every level of the church and society, and the contribution and role of women in positions of leadership," Diaz said. "A 21st century pope should listen and respond justly regarding issues of power and privilege." In interviews with national media, Diaz called Pope Benedict XVI's decision to retire at the end of the month "an act of great grace." The Catholic church, Diaz said, stands at a crossroads.

I got the opposite as well. Especially from the presser after the Short pick. Almost as if his opinion didn't matter.
Although he has final say, Gettleman has stated that all draft decisions will be collaborative decisions. He's sought input from the head coach, coordinators and even position coaches on every player drafted.
I'd add further evidence can be found in Rivera's seeming newfound enjoyment of the term "hog molly".

Writing a book when you have a job and a child is hard. My job comes first. It has to: I am the breadwinner and I'm lucky enough to have a job that uses words and my creativity. This is great, but it means there are no long days to sit at my desk writing. I read articles of writers' tips and they talk about writing eight or more hours per day and it just isn't possible when you have got to go to work. And if your job involves sitting at a laptop, typing all day, by the time you have collected your child from school and fed them and listened to them read and bathed them and read them a bedtime story and showered yourself and dried your hair and done the washing up and made sure the uniform's all ready for the morning, the last thing you feel like doing is sitting down at a laptop and writing again. You can't just go "oh, I'm going to be really creative between 9 and 10pm tonight" because if your brain's done in, it won't happen.
The other, perhaps bigger issue here is confidence. Over the years, in sporadic late night weekend sessions, I've got thousands of words down; more than enough to fill a book. But for a long time, I have been frightened of it. A lot of the book is about being pregnant. I know people like reading my blog posts because of the sweet things Tom says and the way it all turned out OK in the end. Tom isn't talking when he is a foetus and I'm an angry, frightened individual, so it's nowhere near as lovely. But it did happen and it does happen and that's why I set out to write about it. People have read what I've written so far and told me it's great, but I'm plagued by what ifs. What if it gets bad reviews? What if I end up wanting to recall every copy and rip it up? What if people say 'big deal – women get pregnant every day?' (Elsewhere on the web, I've been criticised and even though I knew not to listen to those internet troll types, I'm afraid they got me.) I dreaded people going "How's the book?" because I didn't know. I actually got to a point a couple of months ago when I lay in bed thinking about it and decided I'd have to stop.
But all of this is anxiety; an anxiety that festers when you're on your own a lot. Of course, it is directly comparable to the moving situation (and very closely linked to it.) It felt safe to stay put and it felt safe to forget the book. But I needed to get brave again. What happened to the woman who was mortified when she got pregnant by a man who'd promised her it couldn't happen then vanished when it did, the woman who had her baby and went back to university and then went back again to do an MA and then set up her own business in her bedroom then took her baby to Australia and then made a career as a writer off the back of it all? She has been sitting in her house, getting scared of things that weren't there and letting life go stagnant. That's not me. I have got something to write about, I've got a contract with an excellent publisher and I need to get it out there. When you have something to say, the words just flow. And do you know what? I hammered this post out in minutes.
I just need to get this move out of the way and then the book's coming. And if you're a writer and you're scared, stop being scared. (And find the time, if you can.)
This brilliant post inspired me to write today. Back to the boxes.

Freeworlds: Tides of War is a fan built Star Wars total conversion mod for Digital Anvil's Freelancer game that was released several years ago. When fans began to make mods for Freelancer, one of the many things people were keen on seeing was a Freelancer mod based on the Star Wars universe developed by George Lucas. Freeworlds and Tides of War were the answer to this outcry. The development team of both mods have now joined forces to create an epic new Star Wars TC, Freeworlds: Tides of War.
Check out some of the awesome that is happening on the Freeworlds: Tides of War Demo Server. Official download found here: Moddb.com

Matanat has been in sheep breeding for a long time. Matanat buys lambs, raises them, and sells them to the butcher to earn money. Today she needs AZN 2,300 to buy more lambs for her business.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan supports Komak clients who are designated as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Azerbaijan. An internally displaced person (IDP) is someone who has been forced to flee his or her home due to armed conflict, violence, human rights violations, or natural or manmade disasters, but who, unlike a refugee, has not crossed an international border. Azerbaijan is home to over 600,000 IDPs, who face limited access to employment adequate housing, water and electricity. Many of these people have also failed to qualify for loans through formal channels due to low income and lack of collateral. Komak has been working to support IDPs since 1999. By funding this loan, you are creating opportunities in extremely underserved communities.
About KomakKomak means "help" in Azerbaijani. As of its creation in 1999, Komak has kept true to its name by helping thousands of Internally Displaced Persons, refugees and the economically disadvantaged by providing these groups with sustainable credit services. As of 2010 Komak's $2.5 million portfolio serves 1513 clients, 81% of whom are IDPs, and 40% of borrowers are women. In 2009, Komak was cited in a report by the United Nations General Assembly as one of Azerbaijan's prominent forces in restoring the local economy by enabling small and medium enterprises with credit. For more on Komak, please join our lending team, Friends of Komak Credit Union.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Ohhh new missions. I like the sound of this. Downloaded.
Treachery is everywhere, for The Great War has nearly ended, but is still raging on the Soviet home front. The Soviet campaign takes place with a Soviet NKVD General Victor Kuznestov giving harsh orders to destroy Soviet Villages,which are later to be dethroned as a cloak of a renegade struggling with his inner morale to ultimately defect for the Allied cause. A high ranking officer, Gleb Suvorov, one of Stalin's best commanders will lead an assault against the traitor, and will determine the grim fate of USSR. The Allied campaign takes the final step into the last rampart of vanishing Soviet Power. The Allied commander will fight in the outskirts of Moscow, destroying a heavy threat in the form of a secret communist weapon, which might change the tide of victory! Surrender is not an option, fight bravely! This map-pack has been made by my good friend, Darvin, and replaces 9 Soviet and 9 Allied Aftermath missions.
Add the files in the folder to your Red Alert directory
This Map-Pack changes the 9 allied and 9 soviet missions in Red Alert: Aftermath
The Soviet Campaign is based on a trecharous scheme of a NKVD General, which is later to be killed in the name of Stalin, while the Allied Operations take place in the last advance against the USSR, where an Allied commander will recieve an order to destroy a weapon which might change the tide of victory for the Soviet cause.
All missions were developed with a serious approach to balance and gameplay, as well as an original and intriguing storyline.

Insperity Employment Screening Sets The Standard For Accuracy By Going Beyond The Basic Background Check
Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: NSP), a leading provider of human resources and business performance solutions for America's best businesses, is redefining background check standards with a comprehensive employment screening solution that ensures the accuracy and safe handling of sensitive data, compliance with regulatory requirements and an industry-leading turnaround time that gives companies an edge in hiring top talent. " InsperityTM Employment Screening has the resources, experience and technology to secure reliable background checks for small to large companies without turning to risky, third-party sources," said Jeffrey A. Jones, Insperity Employment Screening division president. "Missing out on the best candidates because of slow background checks or making a bad hiring decision because of faulty information puts a company at a competitive disadvantage, creates negligent hiring risks and, for small businesses, can be financially crippling."Comprehensive employment screening, including an extensive criminal background check, is completed in just two to three days, compared with the industry average of five days, giving customers a competitive advantage in the race for the best candidates. Many background checks rely on a national criminal database that captures only 20 percent of critical information on a local level, but Insperity's nationwide presence "puts boots on the ground" where job applicants live and work, Jones said, promising careful and precise scrutiny of local court records. "We employ a team of proven researchers who go directly to the source for information, then we automatically and independently re-verify any negative results and give the employer the guidance and tools necessary to appropriately manage any situation," said Jones. Support with compliance of regulatory requirements is provided by a skilled customer service team whose members average 17 years of experience. Analysis of employment history, Social Security fraud protection and education verification are accomplished entirely in-house by professional researchers. Advanced technology also provides customers with easy Web access to screening information, including an ability to check the status of a review each step along the way, as well as options for customization and prompt phone support.

Screening tests check for signs of cancer in people who don't have any symptoms. The goal of these tests is to discover the disease at an early stage when it is easier to treat. With the current screening methods available, mass screening of women for ovarian cancer is not recommended at this time. Why not? Because current screening tests are not accurate enough to find ovarian cancer in most women. Still, you should see your doctor on a regular basis to get a pelvic exam as often as your doctor suggests.
Talk with your doctor about tests if you answer yes to one or both of these questions. Answering yes means you are at high risk for ovarian cancer.
Have you had breast, uterine, rectum, or colon cancer?
Has your mother, sister, or daughter had ovarian, breast, uterine, rectum, or colon cancer? These women are considered your first-degree relatives. If you have two or more first-degree relatives who have had ovarian cancer, this suggests a possible hereditary cause.
If you are at high risk for ovarian cancer, additional tests are recommended for you.
Pelvic exam
Transvaginal ultrasound
Blood test for the antigen CA-125, which is a protein found in the cells of some kinds of ovarian cancer. This is not a perfect screening test, however, because it is not elevated in all women with ovarian cancer. And if it is elevated, it does not necessarily mean you have ovarian cancer.
A woman with risk factors for hereditary ovarian cancer should have a formal consultation with a genetic counselor with special expertise cancer.
One of the most important things you can do is be aware of the symptoms of ovarian cancer. If you have symptoms of ovarian cancer, such as a need to urinate frequently, bloating, or abdominal discomfort almost every day for more than a few weeks, and they can't be explained by other more common conditions, go see your gynecologist as soon as possible.

PARIS - Internet telecoms software provider Skype expects to be cash-positive in 2005 and plans to launch video-conferencing, corporate services and a dedicated Wi-Fi phone this year, its head says.
Niklas Zennstrom, the Swedish chief executive of the privately held Luxembourg-based company, said 39 million people -- roughly the size of the population of Spain -- were using its free software to make internet-based calls worldwide at no cost.
He added the company was attracting 150,000 new clients every day without any advertising of its own.
In addition, 1.4 million of the 39 million are now using its pre-pay service to call people outside the Skype system, Zennstrom told the Reuters Telecoms, Media and Technology Summit in Paris.
Zennstrom, whose business is seen as a threat for traditional telecoms operators, said take-up of the company's pay-services was progressing as expected.
Last month, it introduced a voice mail and phone access service that allows users to be reached from a handset, fixed or mobile, as opposed to only a computer previously.
Skype is different from other internet telecoms companies such as Vonage in that it does not need to be managed by a central server.
"The model we have is to get as many people as possible to use free versions of Skype - it creates a platform for value-added services," Zennstrom said.
Zennstrom also co-founded Kazaa, the file-sharing software provider and rival of Napster that enables users to download music from the internet for free.
He said Skype was not planning to go public or sell out but did not exclude floating at some point.
Skype said it had to build its user base as quickly as possible, because rivals such as Yahoo and MSN were starting to enter its market.
"The biggest threat are the portals such as Yahoo and MSN. The threat is there, it is a gradual process," he said.
Zennstrom said the company planed to target the corporate market, given that about 30 per cent of its customer base used its software for business purposes.
He said Skype was working on a service that would allow several people from the same company to have different accounts but only one invoice.
Also this year, Skype said it would introduce its own handset that connects to Wireless LAN networks found at home, the office and hotspots in airports, hotels and railway stations. It will probably be for sale on its website.
In an effort to boost its customer base, the company will also offer software for video conferencing over the internet of better quality than existing consumer Web-based products.
Lastly, Skype said its software would be compatible with advanced mobile phones that use Symbian and Microsoft operating systems.

Nasdaq OMX Group Inc.
) announced the inclusion of a leading Internet television
network -
Netflix Inc.
) to its Global Index group. Effective Jun 6, this non-financial
stock will be part of the Nasdaq-100 index, which is a premium
global index including non-financial securities based on the
market capitalization.
Nasdaq-100 index comprises the companies of the core trade
sector such as computer hardware & software,
telecommunications, retail & wholesale trade and
biotechnology. These companies are based out of the US and other
international countries. Likewise, Netflix will also be a part of
the Nasdaq-100 Equal Weighted index (NDXE) and the Nasdaq-100
Ex-Technology Sector index (NDXX).
Netflix a Worthy Pick for Nasdaq-100
Based out of the US, Netflix enjoys a dominant position in the
Internet television space with a market capitalization of $12.5
billion. The company is a leading provider of television shows
and movies on televisions, computer or other mobile devices both
in the US and internationally. Netflix' strong margins growth
over the past several quarters complements its robust outlook,
going forward.
Even the shares of Netflix are maintaining a rising trend.
Yesterday's closing price represents a strong one-year return of
about 217.1% and a year-to-date return of about 149.3%. The
Nasdaq index jumped 23.0% and 17.9%, respectively during the same
Apart from a history of outperforming estimates and strong
financial results, Netflix's strong growth momentum is also
depicted by the positive estimate revisions that the company has
been experiencing thus far.
Following the release of the first-quarter results, the Zacks
Consensus Estimate for 2013 surged 34.5% to $1.60 per share in
the last 60 days. Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2014
rose 13.7% to $3.08 a share during the same period. Given the
healthy upward estimate revisions for both 2013 and 2014, Netflix
warrants a Zacks #2 (Buy).
Nasdaq Growing Through Diversification
On the other hand, Nasdaq's consistent focus on growing its
non-transaction base revenues elucidates the company's strategy
of diversification to ease the competitive pressure in the global
market. As such, Nasdaq's organic growth is being helped by the
steady market data and technologyas well as issuer and access
services revenues primarily due to the increased deliveries of
contracts and greater demand for co-location services.
The Nasdaq-100 index is also a part of the company's Global
Market index, which is a primary contributor to the issuer
services. Early this week, Nasdaq also received an approval to
launch its new interest rate derivative trading platform - Nasdaq
NLX. This further underscores the company's strategic move to
attain a competitive edge in Europe.
While Nasdaq carries a Zacks Rank #3 (hold), we maintain a
positive stance on Netflix in the near term. Meanwhile, other
stocks in the non-financial sector that are outperforming include
DTS Inc.
) and
AVG Technologies NV
), both of which carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Cecil B. DeMille made a lavish production out of the Ten Commandments, naming it just so. You may have seen it. It remains a huge and visually staggering film, chock-full of indelible imagery from biblical accounts.
By contrast, no production of any sort is planned here -- no theatrics, no rehearsed scripts. This is a simple piece. In its deepest heart, it asks followers of religions -- Christianity most especially -- for a truce, one long enough to exchange information among believers and those who do not.

I'm working in a large Perl application and would like to get stack traces every time 'die' is called. I'm aware of the Carp module, but I would prefer not to search/replace every instance of 'die' with 'confess'. In addition, I would like full stack traces for errors in Perl modules or the Perl interpreter itself, and obviously I can't change those to use Carp.
So, is there a way for me to modify the 'die' function at runtime so that it behaves like 'confess'? Or, is there a Perl interpreter setting that will throw full stack traces from 'die'?

I've got over 500 apps, i buy a lot instantly as i want the dev to get more money. Suddenly i dont agree with one high priced game and i'm a cheapskate? Wouldnt say my ipod was a 'bloody expensive device' either.
Yes i dont have 'proof' but if the game is half the price i personally (and not saying this is gospel) think that it'll sell much more. Plus its basic math isnt it ? Lower price for a big name game will mean more sales.
If a few years ago games on the app store were all $7-$10 and the 'cheapest' were $5 then fair enough. But the market has been created that so many people expect a quality game for a buck or two (or wait for it to be free).
If you are a huge fan of Soul Calibur then you probably wont care about the price, for others who are undecided the high price will put them off. We're not being cheapskates, just being practical. If everyone buys this then every other Taito game will be this price, other rival companies will see this and before you know it every game will be $12.


text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 021710 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 1210 PM CDT MON MAY 2 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 1110 AM CDT Mon May 2 2016 Mid-morning update to reflect concentration of rain/qpf toward the southern Pennyrile region of West Kentucky during the afternoon. Also added a differential mention of thunderstorms along the KY/TN border counties. Both short and medium range guidance, as well as short term sensible weather trends appear to limit the extent of measurable precipitation within a majority of the WFO PAH CWA. Will not rule out a stray sprinkle of rain elsewhere in the forecast area, but do not believe it warrants a measurable PoP mention. May need to make a secondary adjustment for temperatures as well, but needed to make an interim downward adjustments on PoP and Weather. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday night) Issued at 220 AM CDT Mon May 2 2016 Only average confidence in the short term due to subtle model differences regarding multiple light precipitation events. With the approach of an H5 short wave out of the central plains and a surface low tracking northeast across the deep south, precipitation is forecast to develop over the area today, especially the southeast half of the CWA. There may be just enough instability over the southern Pennyrile region of western Kentucky for thunder, so mentioned it there only. Until the passage of said H5 short wave this evening, scattered showers will be possible mainly over the northeast half of the CWA. As another short wave drops southeast across the region as it rotates around the southwest flank of a huge upper low just north of the Great lakes region on Tuesday, small precipitation chances are possible over parts of southeast IL, southwest IN, and northwest KY where deep layer moisture will be greatest. Tuesday night should be dry in the wake of this feature. On Wednesday another short wave rotating around the big low will push a cold front southward across the region. Again precipitation chances should be limited to mainly the northeast half of the CWA where moisture is expected to be deepest. Small precipitation chances may linger over the far eastern sections of our CWA Wednesday evening, then dry after midnight. Temperatures will average at to just below normal through the short term period. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday) Issued at 220 AM CDT Mon May 2 2016 We will start out the long term period with strong northwesterly flow over the region as a closed low over the Appalachians eventually moves out to the eastern seaboard. Sfc high pressure to our northwest will steadily build into the area by Thursday night and into Friday providing dry weather. Lingering low level moisture will likely mean will have some cloudiness to deal with on Thursday as this upper low departs, mainly in our eastern sections. This will keep temperatures cool there and in the 60s while most of SEMO will be seeing around 70 degrees. While we will remain in northwesterly flow aloft into Friday, we will begin to see upper heights rising as a highly amplified upper ridge in the central part of the CONUS steadily moves eastward. Therefore, with that said and hopefully less cloudiness, we should be able to get everyone into the 70s by Friday. Upper 70s should be no problem to reach by Saturday as upper heights rise even further, and the sfc high over the region sags southward allowing our winds to finally shift to the southwest. Our next chance for rain may arrive as early as Sunday/Sunday night but models are differing on the speed of our next frontal system. The ECMWF brings the front south into northern parts of the area on Sunday and then lift it back north as a warm front Sunday night and Monday. The 00Z GFS indicates the front never really makes it into our CWA before the parent system shifts eastward and brings precipitation into the area for Monday. Still too many details to be ironed out to warrant getting carried away with anything more than && .AVIATION... Issued at 1209 PM CDT Mon May 2 2016 The combination of diurnal mixing and the proximity of the mean frontal boundary near the WFO PAH TAF sites will keep ceiling near upper MVFR and/or lower VFR category. As cold air advection and drier air eventually builds in, any MVFR ceilings over KPAH and KCGI should become more scattered cloud bases overnight.

Numerous wrecks reported in Oklahoma City Friday morning in snow
10:45 a.m. As parts of the state have had snow Friday, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation reports slick spots statewide and crews are out treating areas of concern.
In western and southwestern and southern Oklahoma, highways are slick, ODOT reports. Crews are out spreading salt and sand to treat slick areas.
Highways are clear in eastern and northeastern Oklahoma, but they are monitoring conditions, ODOT reports.
Highways in the Oklahoma City metro area have some slick spots and crews continue to treat isolated areas as needed. Drivers should still be cautious of slick spots and black ice. Commuters should plan extra travel time and make sure cars are clear of ice before driving.
Crews will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day as freezing conditions are expected to continue. Drivers are asked to be cautious. Travelers are urged to check with other states before driving out-of-state, ODOT reports.
A few driving tips from ODOT:
During snow and ice conditions, motorists are asked to:
· Check road conditions before getting out on the roads.
· Stay at least 200 feet behind road-clearing equipment; crews need room to maneuver and can engage plowing or spreading materials without notice.
· Allow extra space between vehicles, so there is adequate distance for braking in wet and icy conditions.
· Be aware of black ice, which looks wet on the roadway, but is actually a thin layer of ice.
· Please be patient, plan trips ahead and allow extra time to reach destinations
An advisory will be sent from this office as conditions change.
To check road conditions call the state Department of Public Safety's number (888) 425-2385.
9 a.m. Numerous wrecks are being reported across the Oklahoma City area as a band of snow moves eastward across central and south central Oklahoma Friday.
Multiple wrecks are reported on the Lake Hefner Parkway Friday at 8:55 a.m. in the northbound lanes near NW 63 and on the westbound lanes of NW 63 at the Parkway, according to police and fire radio reports.
A rollover wreck with injury has been reported in Edmond on 33rd street at Lincoln.
Oklahoma City police report about a dozen wrecks citywide at 9 a.m.

Aquarium is never clean
I need help! This happens every time I try to clean my 90 gallon tank. The water is green overall, so it never looks clean. But also, all of the junk on the bottom swirls up into pools of decomposing food, etc. Even when I vacuum the bottom, when I put in more water all of the stuff in places where I can't reach swirls out and settles over the nice clean sand. Some of the sand also has algae growing on it, I think. Some of it is greenish-brown, and it won't come off in the vacuum. Is that algae growing on the grains of sand? Also, I got a nice blue backdrop with the tank, and I put it up a while ago. It is pressed up against the glass just like a normal background, but it doesn't look blue like when there was no water in the tank. Is that just because the water is green? And is there a good cure for green water? I know you can replace some of it with distilled water, but I can't buy 30 gallons of distilled water and put it in gallon by gallon. Will any algae killer work? I've got some that's recommended for tanks with plants. How can I get the aquarium looking clean in general? Help!
Check this one out first:
How to Fix Green Aquarium Water
Hope it helps!!!
If you have that much food on the bottom even after you vacume the sand and gravel you are most deffinetly overfeeding. What type of filtration are you running?
For the algea on the walls get an octolontis.
For the uneaten food get ghost shrimp and more importantally stop overfeeding.
Wow sorry it took me so long to get to this post. I have a pleco that takes care of the algae. The oscar is just a messy eater naturally. I've started feeding in pinches instead of shaking a little amount of pellets out, which should cut down on uneaten food. But it's really annoying when my sister tells me she can't tell the difference after I spend an hour vacuuming the aquarium.:evil:
Sounds to me like you need a bottom feeder of some sort but I have no idea what you could put with an oscar because from what little knowledge I have of them they will eat anything that will fit in there mouth. How many hours a day do you have the lights on in the tank? If your water is green then here are some things you can try if you have not yet a three day blackout followed by a large water change will hit it hard and sometimes may clear it. A UV steriliser/clarifier or diatom filter will clear it up very quickly and is often the only way to clear it.
A new method is to use freshly cut 1-2 year old willow branches about 0.5-1cm in width. Place these in your tank vertically so they go from the substrate to a few centimetres above the water's surface. After a few days they will start to grow roots and the green water should start to clear. When cleared remove the branches from the water.
I have not personally tried any of these because I have luckly not had that kind of algae but those are things it says to try here:

Saturday night's winning Lotto ticket was sold at the Hogly Wogly convenience store on Capital Circle Northeast in Tallahassee.
Store owner Jimmy Weaver says this isn't the first time one of his stores had sold the winning ticket.
Jimmy says, "Back in '97 we had our store on Ocala Road and Tennessee Street; we sold the winning ticket there and it was never claimed. I think it was like $15 million."
Weaver will receive $10,000 just for selling the winning ticket and he hopes someone local won the jackpot. The winner of the ticket has 180 days to claim his or her prize.
The winning numbers are 7, 20, 40, 41, 43, 47, so check those tickets!
