The signature voice of pop-rock band Styx will step in as headliner of this year's free, annual Our Hospice of South Central Indiana concert.
Dennis DeYoung and his band will perform Aug. 30 at Columbus' Mill Race Park.
Classic rock band Kansas, announced as concert headliner in May, informed Hospice leaders a week ago that it had to pull out of the Columbus show, said Laura Hurt, president of the nonprofit agency that cares for terminally ill patients and their families.
Kansas' lead singer is retiring, requiring that the band cancel some of its final dates for the year, Hurt said.
The Hospice concert, which often has attracted crowds estimated at more than 10,000 people of all ages, is its biggest fundraiser of the year, normally generating more than $100,000 for its programs.
The event also has served over the years to build awareness of Hospice's work, which was still considered new when the annual concerts began in 1986.
"This is the way we thank the community for supporting us," Hurt said. "We couldn't even consider canceling it."
She said she was relieved that the organization delayed producing event T-shirts that generate part of the profits. Hurt complimented her concert committee for booking DeYoung so quickly as a replacement.
DeYoung is best known for his lead vocals on Styx hits from the 1970s through 1990s such as "Lady," "Babe," "Come Sail Away," "Lorelei" and "Show Me the Way."
He wrote and sang lead vocals on "Lady," a tune that became the group's first hit in 1972. DeYoung wrote seven of the band's eight Top 10 hits.
Styx currently tours with frontman Tommy Shaw, the group's longtime guitarist.
Keyboard player DeYoung, meanwhile, tours with his own six-piece band.
"He was available, and he met our criteria for national name recognition," Hurt said. "This is a win-win situation."
Mayan Miscalculation, winner of the recent Battle of the Bands local contest, will open the show. It will be followed by 40 Years of College with a guest appearance by Janie Gordon, a former member of the group.
While admission to the Our Hospice concert is free, the agency generates revenue from the sales of $10 raffle tickets (for a chance to win $10,000), T-shirt sales, food vendor sales, home-baked cookies and other items, including glow necklaces and bracelets.
Hospice added a weather insurance clause this year to help it cover financial losses in case the event is rained out. The gathering has been affected by inclement weather the past three years.
Last year's show with Tommy James and the Shondells was rained out, resulting in losses originally totaling $50,000 before other fundraisers were conducted.
The concert in 2012 with Three Dog Night was moved to Columbus North High School gym three days beforehand because of forecast severe storms spinning off Hurricane Isaac. That show drew about 3,000, far less than most concerts at the park.
In 2011, the concert was canceled when a severe storm hit the park before headliner Grand Funk Railroad could take the amphitheater stage.
The 28th annual concert is sponsored by Faurecia and Columbus Regional Health, and is supported by the Columbus Area Arts Council.

This is a 2D animation I created using frame-by-frame animation tools in Photoshop CS5. As a school assignment, I had to create an animated ad of some sort (in photoshop), so I decided to advertise my college's tutoring services. The character's frustration reflects my own frustration when I'm struggling in Probability and Statistics or Biology subjects. xD
Concept, character design, and animation all done by me.
(anyone notice the little Godzilla in the background? XD)

in response to YuanLinYou are alone.
Do not experience this at all.
Then again there are reports of people getting motion sickness from video games, so I guess you are an unlucky tiny minority.

Governa Apr 14, 2010 4:51 AM
in response to YuanLinAre you playing 3D games like Doom? Could be Motion Sickness aka Doom Sickness.
From Doom's (very old) FAQ:
[19-8]: I get motion sickness when playing DOOM
There have been a lot of discussion about this phenomenon. In short some people experience dizziness attributed to the game movement. There were many theories, most along the line of motion sickness. Some also said that the animation is too smooth so it fools your brain into believing it to be real. Others said its too jerky and it makes you vomit like being sea sick. Another popular theory is that lack of proper acceleration (like on-off high speed) attribute to the nausea. I will not go into discussion of why. Instead, I will post some steps people suggested. Remedies are not guaranteed to work. There are many, all are experimental and some will have opposite effects on different people. This, it seems, is a very individual problem.
(1) Try different display sizes. Either use different size monitors or use the screen size option to vary the display window.
(2) Try sitting closer/further from the display (don't stick your nose in it, I don't want you to get radiation sick). Try combining this with focusing/defocusing on the display or surroundings. This is to see if you are being aware that you are looking at the monitor and hopefully it may convince your brain that what you play is not really real.
(3) Try different machine speeds. If you have a turbo switch try playing with it on/off.
(4) Try different input devices. With a mouse you can control acceleration more accurately than with a joystick or the keyboard.
(5) Play on your friend's/colleague's computer. See if it is better/worse.
(6) Have breaks while you play. Play in turns. Watch others play & then play yourself.
(7) If you have sound card, try playing with/without the sound. If your sound card is stereo try playing with headphones on. Reverse the headphones so that left becomes right.
indychris Apr 14, 2010 6:43 AM
in response to YuanLinThat's a bummer, Yuan,
I've fought chronic vertigo/menier's disease for years, and I haven't had one ounce of trouble using my iPad for reading, surfing and even quick-paced, constant motion air hockey and racing games.
If I were experiencing that, I'd take it back/sell it for sure.
StevePug2 Apr 14, 2010 9:45 AM
in response to YuanLinI have friends who suffer from this (went to IMAX Avatar with her and she got really badly sick- bummer) and it's very real and bothersome. Try not to use that flick scroll but only ones you guide yourself and maybe look away while there's any motion on the screen.
mark75090 Apr 14, 2010 10:38 AM
in response to YuanLinMaybe it's the sudden realization of what else you could have spent that $499 on.
Inachu Apr 14, 2010 11:42 AM
in response to YuanLinTo the OP:
You are not breathing enough.
One tends to have shallow breathing when sitting while using a pc.
So you get the same way using the IPAD.
Timothy Johnson1 Apr 20, 2010 8:28 PM
in response to YuanLinYOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
I've been getting it too. It's such a bummer cause I love the machine. The word processor is awesome, the book reader phenomenal. Such an improvement over the kindle. But the kindle doesn't make me feel like "stopping the ride". I first started feeling it pretty badly when using Numbers of all applications. Now I think I'm sorta suffering from a Pavlovian effect. Sometimes just the thought of the iPad makes me feel like I've been trying to read in long distance car ride...
I've been trying to look away more often and deepen my breathing. I'm determined to beat this thing! I just hope the engineers are able to change the settings so it doesn't happen. I think it may have to do with the new LED technology..
dlg_az Apr 20, 2010 9:15 PM
in response to YuanLinI had read this post before, thinking it was odd and since I had no effects. For the first time since I've purchased my iPad, just this past weekend I too had dizziness. I had spent a full lazy day watching movies mostly in a position of laying down on my side. After moving from side to side to get comfy during the course of watching over several hours, I got up and whoa! And it persisted for quite some time. I was quite surprised. I have no idea why it happens, but it does happen. Interesting, for sure.
iCreature Apr 21, 2010 7:40 AM
in response to YuanLinIf turning brightness down doesn't work try wearing a pair of dark glasses. You may be having a problen of contrast sort of like some people experiance when driving along a road at a good speed with a bunch of regularly spaced trees between you and the sun causing you to frequently go from light to shade which can cause various symptoms like you discribe: dark glasses seem to reduce this effect by cutting down the overall brightness.
far182 Apr 21, 2010 10:13 AM
in response to iCreatureI have suffered life long Vertigo. This is something that is very real and there are treatments. While some people here who are experiencing the Dizziness might not have Vertigo, I suggest talking to a Vertigo specialist about it. Try this as well:
Drink lots of water all day. At least 8 glasses.
Don't overdo the caffeine.
Stay away from any processed foods.
Don't consume any MSG. You would be surprised how much food has it.
Get plenty of sleep.
If you do the above for several days and discover that the dizzyness goes away while using the iPad, this is a good indication that you should get a consult from a specialist.
Good luck on this.
PhillipDuran Apr 22, 2010 8:04 AM
in response to YuanLinDoom and Wolfenstein used to mess me up. I would feel sick for about 15-30 minutes after playing for about 5 minutes. Some FPS games would do this to me, but a few would not. Marathon (Bungie) would never make me sick. I don't have motion troubles anywhere else, just with a few FPS games.

Okay, gave it a once over.
First, it's a good idea so far, and it holds a lot more ground than what you had before. However what you need to do is check up on a few parts. It still has inconsistencies. You say they came to a land, which most would assume is this Fingoe you talk about. But then suddenly talk about two islands being hit. If this is also Fingoe you have to explain how it became two islands in the first place.
It's better to say two entwined beams hit
land, and thus they separate into the two islands.
Second, what people gave them their names if there where only 8 people who settled there? You have to create a time span between the original story and the people of now. So it's better to say "Over time the ancestors of those few called the deity's...etc etc"
There are a number of grammatical errors here and there as well, so it'd be best to fix what you can. Getting a game off to the public is all about presentation. If your posts show spelling errors, or inconsistency, it's safe the assume your game will as well. Or at least, that's how most people think.
If you'd like I can fix whatever problems there are and show you a draft so you can work on it from there. Just let me know. It's a good idea overall, it just needs to go a few extra steps before it can be more than just "good".

I'd like to get back into mountain biking after not touching my current bike for over 7 years. It's a '94 Cannondale M800 with a pepperoni/beast of the east frame. Unfortunately, the components (all Deore LX) are in rough shape after years of hard use followed by neglect. I looked into replacing everything that needs replacing and upgrading to a front shock and that puts me in the ball park of a new cannondale hardtail (I'm not bike savvy, so my lbs would be performing all the work).
So, I have two questions:
1 - Are the current cannondale hardtail frames (Furio-X) better (lighter/stronger) than my frame?
2 - I may make the leap to full suspension - does the rear suspension have specific maintenance requirements or would it be as painless to own as a hardtail? All I know is hardtail, so I wouldn't know what I'd be missing performance-wise if I stick with hardtail (and the wife would be happy with the extra $$$ in my wallet )

So. I can run. Who knew?

So somehow in the last six months, I turned into a runner. I'm not quite sure how it happened, but yesterday I found myself cruising along through mile 4 of my 5.4 mile run feeling like I could go forever, and trying to work out a new, 7 mile route. And this was the day after a ski trip, when my legs weren't at their best. OK, so I didn't feel like I could keep going forever during Mile 5, but a Mile 6 would have been doable.
Even as a skinny highschool student, I despised running and only did it to get gym class over faster (we had to do so many laps, whether we ran or walked was our choice). When I went to the gym regularly in grad school, I'd run on the treadmill for 20 minutes to supplement my cardio, but even when I was in great shape, going for a 5 mile run outside seemed unfathomable.
I started walking in August, then in September started tentatively jogging short intervals. By Halloween, I was able to run 3.7 miles at 10 minute miles, and added in a 5.4 mile run on weekends. Now, 5.4 miles is my regular weekday run, and I'm planning to add a 7 mile weekend run next month. I'm also trying to crack 9 minute miles on my 5.4 mile route.
I still can't say I love running. It's more of a stress relief and mental toughness exercise for me. It's difficult and monotonous and dreary, but it's teaching me to push more just when my brain wants to stop whether or not my legs have more to give. A run makes a hard day at work fade away, gets fresh air into my lungs, exercises my dog, zaps calories, and I can do it almost anywhere. So I'm a non-runner, but I can run, and I'm going to keep on doing it.

When I started out I was listening to fast-paced music, but stopped about 6 weeks ago. I say it's dreary, but with the constant 24/7 media blitz, I'm thinking it's healthy to get away from that and think my own thoughts and clear my head for an hour, even if I bore myself.

Wow! That is a long run. I am duly impressed.
Have you thought about listening to a podcast or a book-on-tape while you run? Maybe that would make it less dreary.

A Classic in Search Of Its Former Glory; A Plaintive Cry From Consumers: Where Have the Peanuts Gone?
By CONSTANCE L. HAYS
Published: July 4, 1998
NORTHFIELD, Ill.— Poor old Cracker Jack. After more than 100 years in the marketplace, becoming the snack-food industry's version of a national treasure, it has been suffering a credibility crisis.
It starts with the peanuts. One consumer from San Juan Capistrano, Calif., complained in an April letter to the company that he had counted just five peanuts in his jumbo box of Cracker Jack. ''Did the machinery goof up,'' he inquired, ''or has the profit margin taken its toll?''
''How can you sell this as 'Original Cracker Jack,' '' demanded a Florida couple, who wound up with no peanuts at all, ''when it is only two-thirds of the original recipe?''
Plenty of letter writers criticized Cracker Jack for tasting stale or even burned. And then, the crowning indignity: ''When I got home, I opened the box and searched, and searched and searched for my toy surprise,'' reported a woman from Omaha. ''I got a different surprise . . . NO PRIZE inside.''
Judging from the tone of the mail, Cracker Jack's image, an image historically so wholesome and all-American that it rated a mention in the lyrics of ''Take Me Out to the Ball Game,'' appears headed the way of the daytime World Series game.
Reversing that downfall is the challenge facing Frito-Lay, the Pepsico division that acquired Cracker Jack from Borden Foods in October, as it begins an all-out effort to rejuvenate this venerable munchie.
At the moment, Cracker Jack represents a tiny part of Frito-Lay's business -- less than 1 percent of a projected $7.5 billion in 1998 sales -- but hopes are high. If all goes as planned, said Beth Struckell, a vice president in charge of Cracker Jack, by 1999 sales should be four times the current $45 million.
Frito-Lay expects to do this with new packaging, better distribution, marketing aimed at children and, yes, more peanuts. It vows to have better prizes, and to get them into nearly every box. But one thing it will not do -- fearful of alienating longtime fans -- is risk a New Coke-type fiasco by tinkering too much with the basic formula.
''The key thing is, here's a brand that's been around forever,'' said Bill Pecoriello, an analyst who covers Pepsico. ''Frito-Lay is going to be able to leverage its distribution system, and it will also put its brand marketing behind it.''
But first, Frito-Lay executives concede, they have to fix the quality issues and other problems dragging Cracker Jack down in the marketplace. In the year ending May 24, sales plunged 25 percent from a year earlier, according to Information Resources Inc., which monitors supermarkets, drugstores and mass merchandisers like Wal-Mart.
Still, Borden, which took over Cracker Jack in 1964, insists that its stewardship was actually pretty good. ''We were proud of what we'd done with the brand, particularly over the last couple of years,'' said a spokeswoman, Lynn Anderson. ''The technology we had in our factory was rather advanced in insuring that there was a prize in every package.''
Many people at Borden's headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, were sad to see Cracker Jack sold, along with Eagle Brand Condensed Milk and some other well-known brands -- all part of a decision to focus mostly on pasta and sauces. ''Our aim,'' Ms. Anderson said, ''was to find somebody who could leverage the equity in the brand and for whom it was a good fit.''
Cracker Jack's new owners, confident that their sprawling distribution network can easily deliver to stores of every size, say it would be unwise to mess too much with a product that had been a success for so long.
''Changing Cracker Jack would be the wrong thing to do,'' said Ms. Struckell, who clearly admires much of what its inventors and subsequent owners did to promote the snack, using everything from little plastic toys to coupons and children's clubs.
Cracker Jack, according to a Borden pamphlet, rose from the ashes of Chicago's Great Fire of 1871. F. W. Ruckheim, a German immigrant who was among the thousands who came to the city to help clean up the damage, began selling popcorn from a street corner in his spare time. By 1893, when Chicago held its first world's fair, Mr. Ruckheim and his brother, Louis, had come up with the recipe for a concoction of molasses, peanuts and popcorn that they hawked to millions of fairgoers. But it was not named -- legend has it -- until 1896, when a salesman sampled some and shouted, ''That's a cracker jack!''
Around 1918, cashing in on people's patriotism, Sailor Jack and the rest of the packaging took on a red, white and blue color scheme. ''In essence, we don't want to change,'' Ms. Struckell said. ''We're not repositioning Cracker Jack.''
Still, nostalgia alone will not quadruple sales next year, especially when only 7 percent of American households buy Cracker Jack, and do so, on average, fewer than two times a year, according to Frito-Lay's research. ''Consumers told us the reason they didn't buy it was they couldn't find it or didn't see it,'' Ms. Struckell said.
Fixing the distribution problems will be relatively simple, given Frito-Lay's elaborate array of trucks, vans and salespeople who already know how to get products onto store shelves. So she and her Cracker Jack marketing team have zeroed in on improving quality, introducing a foil-lined, four-ounce bag along with the traditional one-ounce cardboard box.

Roman Anthonys: Now Open
Justin Grecco, chef/owner of Grecco's on the St. Croix in St. Croix Falls, WI, and creator of Chef in a Box, just opened his second restaurant, the Italian-themed Roman Anthonys in White Bear Lake. Grecco has been a fan of Italian cuisine since his first trip to the country at the age of 21, when he decided to become a chef, and named the new eatery after his first child. The 180-seat restaurant is located in a strip mall, but the dim lighting and red-and-black decor were designed to give the space a 20s speakeasy vibe.

In this paper, we first introduce a (redundant) filterbank precoder framework for linear dispersion coding over frequency-selective fading channels, where the linear dispersion of information-bearing symbols over time has been shown by a synthesis filterbank structure whose filters are linear temporal dispersive encoders. Well-known zero-padding method would be applied to avoid IBI and changing the problem to LD coding over (virtual) flat-fading channels. Based on the proposed framework, coding in the transmitter and decoding in the receiver would be straightforward. Then, as the major novelty of the paper, we will propose time varying linear dispersion coding and it would be shown that choosing time varying filters as encoders would cause some modifications on the coding gain. Also it has been shown that the impairments caused due to 'zero-padding + frequency selectivity", could be compensated by time varying encoders. Simulation results would confirm our idea.

That is a very awesome lamp. I saw one that was almost identical to it at the ReStore 'Habitat for Humanity' shop in Rockwall, Texas about a year ago. Unfortunately,, when I found it, I was in my car so I couldn't buy it. It was gone when I went back to get it with my truck. The only difference between the two was the map (the one I saw had a continental map instead of the ocean currents).
That's rather disappointing, but encouraging to know that these were apparently not just custom built for the space but must have been purchased from someplace. It does make me wonder if these beautiful pieces are still available.
I understand... when I found the one that I found, I was so excited thinking that it was one of a kind. I was so disappointed that it was gone when I went back to purchase it. However, at least I now know that there are others out there that are similar.

USAMITC Athlete Brings Home the Gold
July 6, 2012
By Kenneth Blair Hogue, USAMITC Public Affairs
FORT SAM HOUSTON, TEXAS -- An over 55 athlete from the U.S. Army Medical Information Technology Center (USAMITC) recently competed in the National Veterans Golden Age Games in St. Louis, Mo., and brought home three medals--two gold and one silver. Col. Terry Shanahan, (U.S. Army, Retired) of USAMITC's Project Management Division (PMD), won gold medals in the javelin and shot put, and a silver medal in the discus throw.
Shanahan was already a member of the Texas Throwers, a network of men and women of all ages who enjoy competing in the discus, shot-put, javelin, and hammer and weights. He competed, and still competes regularly in Texas Senior State Game competitions held all over Texas for athletes 50 and above, and in the National Senior Games held all over the U.S.
A Navy veteran and a fellow member of the Texas Throwers told Shanahan about the National Veterans Golden Age Games in St. Louis for veterans over 55. In these games, nearly 1,000 athletes competed in a choice of "15 events ranging from cycling and swimming to checkers and shuffleboard." Shanahan competed because they offered the discus, shot put and javelin.
Shanahan joined these groups and competitions as a way to "stay fit, stay in shape and to get back into the game," as he put it. "The oldest guy on the Texas Throwers is 90, and he throws the hammer," said Shanahan. He said the oldest thrower he knows of anywhere is a 91 year old discus thrower.

The Blizzard of i886
and Its Effect on the Range Cattle Industry
in the Southern Plains
came as welcome relief to the young people preparing for a dance
that evening at the Merchant's Hotel in Larned, Kansas. In the after-
math of the season's first storm on January 2, the weather was "settled"
now, even "pleasant" with a soft, southerly breeze. If an angry cloud
was seen scowling on the northern horizon no one made note of it in
anticipation of the evening's revelry. The dance was in full swing when,
around 9 P.M., the breeze shifted to the northwest, accelerated in ve-
locity, and filled the air with snow. No one paid attention. By midnight,
when the dance ended, snow drifts closed the streets. Swirling snow
blinded the eyes and filled the lungs of those who dared to leave. The
dance-goers had no alternative but to remain in the hotel for the night.
Not until midday on January 7, during a respite in the storm, did any-
one venture from the hotel, through enormous drifts, to the compara-
tive safety of home.'
The storm stranding dancers in Larned, Kansas, began as cold, dry
air settling on frozen land between the Canadian Rockies and Hudson
Bay. Devoid of moisture and heavy, the air gripped the earth's surface,
accumulating in a high pressure mass of "noteworthy" proportions be-
fore spilling out and flowing over the frozen ground. The overflow
moved with inexorable force toward a low pressure system forming
over the lower Rio Grande Valley." A powerful stream of air aloft inten-

If you'd like to speak to us about teaching or teacher training, please call us on Freephone
Your written application
Once you've got some school experience and made the important decisions about the subject and age group you want to teach, you'll need to start thinking about your written application. This is your chance to make yourself stand out to schools or universities, and these tips should help you do just that.
Writing your personal statement
When you submit your application via the UCAS Teacher Training portal, you'll need to write a personal statement. You need to make a big impression, but the space on the form is limited to 4,000 characters, split across a maximum of 47 lines, including spaces and line breaks – so use it wisely.
A good statement should highlight your personal strong points and how you can bring these to teaching. There's no 'one size fits all' approach, so you should avoid empty clichés or generic statements that don't say something about you as an individual.
We have a handy list of things to keep in mind, but as a general guide, it's a good idea to cover key points such as:
- your reasons for wanting to teach – and, more specifically, why you'll enjoy teaching your chosen subject and/or age group. What qualities do you have that will work well in the classroom?
- your understanding of the rewards and benefits of becoming a teacher
- how previous studies and any work experience relate to your chosen subject or age group. Make sure you give examples of what you have learnt from your experience, and how it will have a positive effect on your teaching
- what you've learnt during your school experience placements and how this has influenced your application
- how you've benefited from any other experience that you may have of working with children or young people – for example as a classroom assistant, or running a youth group or sports club
Provide plenty of evidence of your skills and qualities. Communication, motivation, organisation, creativity, responsibility and reliability are all important skills for teachers – so offer examples of times when you have successfully demonstrated your ability in these areas.
Don't copy from someone else's statement or from statements posted on the internet – UCAS screens all submissions and will know if the work you've presented is not your own.
Make a start on your application today by registering with UCAS Teacher Training. There's no pressure to complete it all at once, you can save your progress and continue any time.
The UCAS Teacher Training form also includes a separate section where you provide details of your school and work experience, which we cover below in more detail. Bear this in mind if it will help keep you within the character count.
Providing details of your school and work experience
You can add as many examples of school and work experience to the UCAS form as you like. This can include work placements and observations, as well as any paid and unpaid work. When you add an example, you can provide an accompanying description of up to 500 characters, detailing what was involved. In this section you should also include any reasons for leaving jobs, as well as consequent gaps in employment.
Make sure you take the time to give a clear outline of your experiences and when they happened. You can also highlight any skills from previous work that could be applicable to teaching, although if the character limit restricts you then you may choose to include this in the personal statement section.
If you feel like you need to expand on your professional background, you can also send the schools or universities you apply to your CV, or a summary of your work history. You can only do this after you have submitted your application and received a welcome email from UCAS, as you will need to include your Personal ID.
If you're applying for the School Direct (salaried) training programme – which is mainly aimed at career changers with at least three years' work experience – this part of the form can be important for demonstrating your eligibility.
Some schools may accept applications from high-quality graduates with fewer than three years' experience onto the salaried programme, especially in maths, physics, chemistry, languages and computing. You can check with individual training providers about this before applying.
The next steps of your application
As part of your application, you will need to include two references to complete your submission to UCAS Teacher Training. Visit our submitting your application page to find out more about the requirements for referees and the final stages of the application form process.

Depends on how long you want to hold it. If your timeline is 10 to 20 years, a US based Index Fund is probably not a bad idea. Shorter term is a crap shoot. My opinion is that North American Co's have a long ways to go to become competitive in the world markets, that combined with huge US debt and I believe we're in for an extended, underperforming North American Market.
I agree.

Children North East has used funding from players to help over 11,500 children and young people live happy and healthy lives.
7th August 2013
X Factor star joins in on the sailing fun with the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust organises sailing trips for young people aged 8-24
who are in recovery from cancer and leukaemia. Each voyage lasts four days and is
lead by experienced, professional sailors who are more than happy to pass on
their knowledge. These trips offer these young people the opportunity to rebuild their confidence and connect
with others who have undergone a similar experience. The Trust's first
expedition in Scotland recently took place from Largs thanks to £40,000 funding from players of
People's Postcode Lottery.
X Factor star and People's Postcode Lottery Ambassador Danyl Johnson took time out of his busy
schedule to set sail with the Trust. Danyl made the effort to get to know each
child individually and enhance their experience on board as much as possible.
"It's really tough for them and it's really tough hearing about their stories," said Danyl. "But moments like this really make it worthwhile. To look at the kids you wouldn't think that anything is wrong at all. They seem to be really carefree, up for a laugh and we just seem to be hanging out like mates."
"It's an amazing
experience - to be a part of this is kind of life-changing and I just feel really, really happy to be an Ambassador
for People's Postcode Lottery and to be
working with Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust."
Young cancer patients sometimes suffer from low self-esteem following extended periods of time spent on their own in recovery. Trips like these are a great way of bringing these young people together and giving them the break they need. Working together, these young people are given a lot of responsibilities on board, from cooking for themselves to being in control of the yacht. A nurse travels on each sail to ensure that all the children's medical requirements are taken care of.
The children on Danyl's sail also showed their enthusiasm
for the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and the great work its volunteers do on an
everyday basis. "I needed the break really with
my pals", said 15 year old Connor McDowall. "It's been really good so far. You've got your own time and the staff are just
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust has also received funding from players of People's Postcode Lottery on two other occasions. Funding of over £10,000 helped the Trust purchase a new van to transport service users and a grant of £5,000 previously enabled the charity to buy much-needed oil skins and vests. This funding was awarded by People's Postcode Trust, a grant-giving organisation funded entirely by our players.

Building my 4th no-name-CF-frame-from-China bike. The first two frames I got on e-bay. One was a 26 MTB frame, one a 700c road frame. I got CF seatpost, bars, headsets, and for the road bike a CF fork, at the same time. Excellent value and NO problems with the frames or components whatsoever. A serious roadie customer of mine was showing off his custom CF road bike that cost him $7k a while back, and I showed him my frankenbike flat bar road bike creation with the frame and fork from China. A year later I met him on a big group ride and damned if his wife wasn't riding a bike with the identical frame and fork as mine!
Next I bought a CF cyclocross frame and CF components from China and was a little scared about sending money directly to Ms. Fanny Ding, Guangdong, Mainland China. Indeed, she did NOT give me an accurate date as to when the frame would arrive -- it arrived two weeks head of what she told me! No problems whatsoever with any of the pieces.
My 29er internal cable CF frame is in the US at customs according to EMS tracking -- less than a week after I sent money through PayPal. Thank you Jason Chen!
My experience is do not be afraid to buy these pieces -- you can build a whole custom bike for less than what a frame alone with a well-known logo would cost.
Don't need no stinking Trek or Cervelo logos on my bikes, I take some of my savings and give it to the custom pinstripe dude.

We present an abstraction of the probabilistic semantics of Multiset Rewriting to formally express systems of reactions with uncertain kinetic rates. This allows biological systems modelling when the exact rates are not known, but are supposed to lie in some intervals. On these (abstract) models we perform probabilistic model checking obtaining lower and upper bounds for the probabilities of reaching states satisfying given properties. These bounds are under- and over-approximations, respectively, of the probabilities one would obtain by verifying the models with exact kinetic rates belonging to the intervals.

Identifiers serve to denote constants, variables, loop names, and procedures. Their association must be unique within their scope of validity; i.e., within the scope in which they are declared (see 6, 7.4).
Aoki, M.; Yue, P. C.
The so-called identification problem is that of estimating unknown constant system parameters of dynamic systems. The computation of maximum likelihood is known to be nontrivial and is full of various pitfalls [1]. The Koopmans-Levin algorithm for system identification, which was first discussed in the context of dynamic systems by Levin [2], has been found to be very efficient computationally as compared to the iterative type of algorithms since it only involves the solution of algebraic equations and a very simple eigenvalue problem [3][4]. This method can be motivated through the derivation of the maximum likelihood estimate but is not the true maximum likelihood estimate as claimed by Levin. It has been shown to yield (strongly) consistent estimates under very general conditions on the observation noise and simple restrictions on the systems properties as well as input characteristics. In particular, if the observation noise is Gaussian, then the estimates are known to be close approximations to those obtained via the method of maximum likelihood [3][4].
Fleischer, M.
This article describes a set function that maps a set of Pareto optimal points to a scalar. A theorem is presented that shows that the maximization of this scalar value constitutes the necessary and sufficient condition for the function's arguments to be maximally diverse Pareto optimal solutions of a discrete, multi-objective, optimization problem. This scalar quantity, a hypervolume based on a Lebesgue measure, is therefore the best metric to assess the quality of multiobjective optimization algorithms. Moreover, it can be used as the objective function in simulated annealing (SA) to induce convergence in probability to the Pareto optima. An efficient, polynomial-time algorithm for calculating this scalar and an analysis of its complexity is also presented.

Abstract syntax with variable binding is known to be characterised as an initial algebra in a presheaf category. This paper extends it to the case of polymorphic typed abstract syntax with binding. We consider two variations, second-order and higher-order polymorphic syntax. The central idea is to apply Fiore's initial algebra characterisation of typed abstract syntax with binding repeatedly, i.e. first to the type structure and secondly to the term structure of polymorphic system. In this process, we use the Grothendieck construction to combine differently staged categories of polymorphic contexts.

In this paper, we present a HMM based system that is used to recognize ultra low resolution text such as those frequently embedded in images available on the web. We propose a system that takes specifically the challenges of recognizing text in ultra low resolution images into account. In addition to this, we show in this paper that word models can be advantageously built connecting together sub-HMM-character models and inter-character state. Finally we report on the promising performance of the system using HMM topologies which have been improved to take into account the presupposed minimum length of each character.

Statecharts is a visual formalism suitable for high-level system specification, while Verilog is a hardware description language that can be used for both behavioural and structural specification of (hardware) systems. This paper implements a semantics-preserving mapping from Graphical Statecharts to Verilog programs, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first algorithm to bridge the gap between Statecharts and Verilog, and can be embedded into the hardware/software co-specification process [19] as a front-end.

PPL Chairman Says Strong Earnings In 2013 Underscore Importance Of Strategic Realignment
DERBY, England, May 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) has taken decisive, strategic action to enhance shareowner value and to pay a secure dividend, the company's top executive said Wednesday (5/21) at the company's annual meeting in Derby, England. "Your company had another solid year in 2013, delivering strong earnings for our shareowners and equally strong reliable service for our 10 million customers in the United States and the United Kingdom," said William H. Spence, PPL's chairman, president and chief executive officer.Spence said that the company's 2013 results underscore the importance of PPL's strategic realignment of the past several years, so that the vast majority of its earnings now come from regulated utility operations. "Last year, more than 85 percent of our earnings from ongoing operations came from rate-regulated operations and we forecast that virtually all of our 2014 ongoing earnings will come from these regulated businesses," he said. During the meeting, PPL shareowners elected 12 directors to one-year terms: Frederick M. Bernthal, retired president of Universities Research Association and a former member of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission; John W. Conway, chairman and chief executive officer of Crown Holdings, Inc.; Philip G. Cox, retired chief executive officer of International Power Ltd.; Steven G. Elliott, retired senior vice chairman of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation; Louise K. Goeser, president and chief executive officer of Grupo Siemens S.A. de C.V.; Stuart E. Graham, retired president and chief executive officer of Skanska AB; Stuart Heydt, retired chief executive officer of Geisinger Health System; Raja Rajamannar, chief marketing officer of MasterCard International Incorporated; Craig A.

Sometimes doing an interview is like herding cats. An interview with Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte about their work in the new HBO series "Luck" starts out OK. A simple question about how he deals with a difficult director launches Hoffman into a story about some advice he was given by Anthony Hopkins.
"He says, 'Never raise your voice. Never have a fight. On a sound stage or wherever you're shooting, make sure you're shooting on the ground floor. When it gets to that point, you say, "Excuse me. I have to go to the bathroom." You've checked the bathroom out before. It has a window. You go in the bathroom. You lock the door. You climb out the window. You go home. You come back the next day. There's no argument anymore'," Hoffman says.
Nolte immediately adds that he has done that a couple of times.
Now it's Nolte's turn to share a story. He had trouble in 1982 while shooting "Cannery Row" because co-star Debra Winger kept telling director David Ward that he wasn't giving his all.
"And so we went to have dinner. David said, 'You're the most irresponsible actor I have ever worked with in my life. You just don't give. You're just irresponsible.' And Debra was watching me very closely, and I took the spaghetti and I smashed it in my face all over," Nolte says. "David didn't know what to do with that. And then Debra used that later on in the movie. She smashed spaghetti all over her face.

The Thesis Advisory Committee (TAC) oversees your thesis progress and final oral exam (thesis defense).
When developing your TAC, consider the following:
Additional TAC guidelines:
You are expected to meet with your TAC at least every six months after your proposal is approved to review your research progress. Submit a TAC progress report to the education specialist within one week following each meeting. This report summarizes the progress made to date and outlines the projected timeline and expectations for the next meeting.
Note: Failure to attend progress meetings may result in loss of Mayo Graduate School faculty privileges in clinical and translational science.
Progress meetings enable you and your TAC to collectively monitor your research project, as well as informally evaluate your progress toward achieving the program's core competencies.
Schedule your first TAC meeting six months after your protocol is approved by the CCaTS Postdoctoral Programs Committee. Follow-up meetings are scheduled every six months until completion of a successful Final Oral Examination.
Following each meeting, complete a progress meeting report form within one week of the meeting. Once the form has been reviewed by all members, submit to the education specialist. The form is sent back to all TAC members and you (the scholar) for electronic signatures via DocuSign.
Note: Failure to hold progress meetings and submit summaries may result in your being placed on academic probation or recommended for dismissal.

Hey im making a store for student details and i wanted some opinions on which collection to use. The store will have details such as name, number, address and email. The store will then be printed to a text file where i can load, save, edit and delete the details in the text file. I have never done this before and i do not no if there is any restrictions to file I/O when using collections. So i would really appreciate the comments. Thanks in advance.

Unless some special "fast location" capabilities are required, such as search by last name or by student ID, a list would be an appropriate collection to use.
