I got my Wise Liter receiver last night. It is a thing of beauty!! I saw a sample at Knob Creek so I knew it would be a piece of carefully manufactured, precision machine work. I was not disapointed. After close examination the craftsmanship is evident, the parts are perfectly formed and fitted together precisely. I took some basic measurements rorm a reweld and it is spot on.
I am doing this built with parts I have on hand left over from other builds, so I am short a couple of parts that are coming from Dan at Angola. The cam piece fit on nicely, and the feed cover and tray fit properly. I had to hit the rear sides of the receiver with a file to get the feed cover to latch properly.
All in all this receiver is definately worth the $950.00 for a serious builder. It is a legal, approved, registered receiver that will make an easy,quality build that will be worth all the time and money you put into it.
As soon as the rest of the parts arrive I can test fit the rails, install the grip retainer bracked and check the buffer fit
I will be doing a complete new tutorial with this build, it looks like it will be a fairly easy one to complete.

Ernesto Lopez
From Grand Theft Wiki
Ernesto Lopez is the oldest son of Adriana and Mr. Lopez, and the oldest brother of Luis Fernando Lopez and Leta Lopez-Wilkinson. He was abandoned by his father along with brother and sister. Ernesto dislikes Luis, believing that he is drug dealing trash. He moved out of the city and got a family, and a job as an accountant. His siblings dislike him, believing he is a prick, as he apparently never sends money to his mother. Luis makes fun of his wife too. It is revealed that Ernesto only phones their mother twice a year.
- Whenever Luis get drunk alone in either Maisonette 9 or Hercules, he will drunkenly mention that Ernesto is an asshole.
- During one of the Club Management side missions, Dessie asks Luis to go pick up the Blue Brothers and bring them back to Maisonette 9. Luis complies, but states he's only doing so because his niece is crazy about them. Considering the fact the Ernesto and Luis hardly talk, and that his kids think their uncle Luis is dead, it can be implied that it is actually Leta's children he is talking about.

They are just unconscious.
Pretty easy to score when every player on defense is within five yards of the line of scrimmage.
21-0 half way through the 1st. Crazy.
Nice pick six.
ULM beat Wake Forest and only lost at OU 34-0.
I continue to think Baylor runs the table this year.
I want Baylor to play Nebraska.
I wish they'd just hang 100 on someone to prove they can.
When you watch Baylor, the field looks huge. When you watch ISU, it looks tiny and crowded.

So much for heading toward the retirement years with a pocketbook full of cash to throw around. Baby boomers are lucky if they've got a change purse to go to.
Forbes reports a new study finds boomer money is going toward increased housing costs, paying for kids' college education, utility payments and health care premiums. And shelling out for the fun stuff—like eating out, clothes and items for the house—is down, the magazine adds.
So maybe a new couch for the living room can wait, and we're fine with a cozy evening dining in. But give up our shoe shopping? Never.

It's pretty awesome, I don't think I've ever been completely healthy for six months straight so this is a new record.
It's pretty awesome, I don't think I've ever been completely healthy for six months straight so this is a new record.
Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
dude, i've could have told you that. what are you working on? body building, swimming, running, crossfit?
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
Yeah bodybuilding leo, getting your heart broken and having a sense of pride can do things to a man
aww... sounds like you need some protein ;]
i do CrossFit and some body building. it's gonna take time to get those crazy awesome results, like 2yrs or 3yrs, but it's worth it.
i check out Scott Herman (has a youtube channel). He has amazing info and routines.
and a lot of his stuff is for free.
you can choose to become a member on his site and choose to pay a membership which grants you a nutrition guide thingy. it's pretty cool.
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
Yeah I'll prolly get protein in the summer after my exams, I'm aiming for those university bitches!
Cool, ill check him out. I mostly rely on my friends//fit/ for info tho
also what do you mean 'get protein' - do you not consume protein in your regular diet?
i was exercising for a few months and lost a bunch of weight and got a lot stronger, but havent been to the gym at all for the past month and a half now. will start again this weekend when the semester will be over.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
i fucking suck at exercise. fuck that shit its not worth it ppl like me for who i am!!!!!!
im not trying to mimic kirby either. i just fucking am terrible :[
there is an way to figure out the amount of protein you need. remember, if you consume too much, your body will convert the unneeded extra into fat. so watch it!
convert your body weight from lbs to Kg. then use the second formula below to figure out how much protein (milligrams) you'll need. .8 is not exercising all day. for people who do office work. 1.8 is for people like me who do a lot of exercises and very active. and you can figure something in between those to fit you.
1. Weight in pounds divided by 2.2 = weight in kg
2. Weight in kg x 0.8-1.8 gm/kg = protein gm.
Use a lower number if you are in good health and are sedentary (i.e., 0.8). Use a higher number (between 1 and 1.8) if you are under stress, are recovering from an illness, or if you are involved in consistent and intense weight or endurance training.
Example: 154 lb male who is a regular exerciser and lifts weights
154 lbs/2.2 = 70kg
70kg x 1.5 = 105 gm protein/day

I knew I was getting older when Andy Griffith started looking attractive in those Matlock reruns. (RIP, dear Andy.) As a girl, I was really on the hunt for a good dancer. Now I want "doesn't gamble away the mortgage money." Eventually I'll be thrilled with "doesn't drool."
Back in high school, if Mr. Bates (the Downton Abbey one, not the creepy motel one) had asked me to the prom, I'd have said, "No way—what's with the bowler hat?" Now I appreciate a guy who serves you breakfast in bed and already owns a tux. Given the choice between David Beckham and David Letterman, I want the David who makes me laugh. Given the choice between Jon Hamm and John Cleese, I want . . . well, I want Jon Hamm. But the idea became especially appealing when Don Draper turned 40 and seemed to be settling down.
Stability is sexy. Devotion is sexy. A knowing smile and silver Matlock locks are sexy.
Hmm. Wait. Maybe I'm not defining a mature man. Maybe I'm defining a mature me.

Richard Tarboton
- Date
- 06 February 2012
Richard Tarboton, Director of Energy and Carbon, BT Group, sheds light on the company's innovative carbon intensity reduction target, the benefits of investing in the Clean Revolution for the telecommunications industry and how BT Group is marrying economic success and climate stabilization.
- What was the basis for BT Group undertaking innovative sustainable practices?
The fundamental basis for our long term commitment to sustainability is to reduce our negative effects on the environment, hand in hand with cost reduction, and leverage our experience to help our customers enhance their sustainability through innovative products and services.
- Tell us about BT Group's innovative carbon intensity reduction target?
Rather than set carbon targets based on achievability, we wanted to set a target that enabled both economic prosperity and climate stabilization. Our Climate Stabilisation Intensity Target does just that. It creates a single target for the whole company that can be implemented across our different geographies. A model like this, widely adopted across industry, is the path to economic success and climate stabilization.
- What are the most significant areas you see for BT Group in the next five years?
More advanced energy controls to reduce energy consumption, increasing delivery of renewable energy projects and ensuring better transparent purchasing systems are in place. This is important both internally and as they have future market opportunities for BT Group.
- What is the most significant challenge faced in implementing the Clean Revolution?
The greatest challenge at the global, country, company and individual level is measurement. It is only through measuring how much we're consuming and producing that actions can be taken to reduce negative environmental impacts.
- Is the telecommunications industry beginning to see the benefits of investing in the Clean Revolution?
We're seeing other telcos starting to set ambitious carbon reduction targets. This is good for the industry as it promotes a more environmentally conscious industry as well as keeping each firm on their toes in the race to be the most sustainable firm. What needs to be reported on more clearly is the year-on-year energy consumption. This will enable a more effective comparison between those firms which are actual leaders and those who just say they are.
Read BT Group's Clean Revolution case study.
Richard Tarboton is the Director of Energy and Carbon at BT Group, where his team have overall responsibility for BT's energy and carbon strategy and energy trading operations.
BT currently purchase 0.7% of the total energy supply in the UK and are the largest buyer of green electricity. BT has topped the Dow Jones Sustainability Index eight years running, and was also awarded as the top sustainability company in the UK at the 2007 Business in the Community awards. Now Richard's team is aiming to achieve an 80% reduction in carbon by 2016 from 1996 levels. Richard also leads the BT wind project; the biggest wind power project by a company not in the energy sector.
In 2006, Richard lead the development of the UK Government's climate change strategy for local authorities. In a previous role as head of the transport energy business unit of the Energy Saving Trust, Richard also delivered the environment transport programme for the Government, where he led investments in low carbon vehicle technologies and helped roll out business services to fleets across the UK to cut their carbon footprint.

ZF-8017: Zend_Service_Twitter_Search should not extend Zend_Http_Client
Currently Zend_Service_Twitter_Search extends Zend_Http_Client, this is bad because :
a) Zend_Service_Twitter_Search is NOT a Zend_Http_Client - it merely uses one (hence an architecture issue)
b) It does not make it possible for a mock Zend_Http_Client to be introduced to perform tests
c) It does not make it possible to use a subclass of Zend_Http_Client - which may have e.g. local site specific proxy / caching settings.
thanks David.
Do you have any comment's on what it should extend use to get the data from Twitter?
Jon -
Why do you think it needs to extend anything to get data from Twitter?
Can't it just USE a http client? In much the same way as e.g. Zend_Service_Twitter, Zend_Service_Flickr and so on use e.g. the rest client.
I agree with you. I'll have it extend the Zend_Rest_Client so it has have more control over it.
Let me know if this patch works for you.
The patch would solve my issue with injection of a different http client; thanks.
The patch was checked in to the trunk with r18573 and into the release branch with r18574.
Changing fix version to next minor release (1.10), as it was solved by changing the dependency from Zend_Http_Client to Zend_Rest_Client. (Adding or changing dependencies is not allowed in mini releases.)
r18574 has been reverted at this time.

Expert Markup Handlers for AT: A Proposal From Open A11y (FINAL Draft)
- Title:
- Open A11y Proposal: A Standard to Enable AT Interaction with Specialized Content
- Pete Brunet, IBM
- Dr. Vladimir Bulatov, View Plus Technologies
- Shawn Djernes, Nebraska Commission for the Blind
- Gregory J. Rosmaita, Open Accessibility
- Janina Sajka, Open Accessibility
Generalized content markup (such as HTML) is complimented by markup specifications that facilitate more semantically precise content markup.
Examples of specialized, semantically precise markup include MathML and
MusicXML. Assistive technology (AT) typically handles generalized content
markup, but does not know about specialized markup. Because of this, users of
AT are unable to access or navigate specialized markup effectively.
The Open A11y Expert Handlers group is exploring a standardized plug-in mechanism for assistive technology software. The goal of this plug-in standard is to allow AT to use expert software plug-ins to provide access to specialized markup exposed through accessibility APIs, such
as MSAA and IAccessible2 on Windows and AT-SPI on Unix/Linux. This plug-in standard will allow AT to rely on expert handler software to enable navigation and provide enhanced, semantically rich access to specialized markup, enabling an AT to more properly render -- visually, aurally, and/or tactilely -- the semantic meaning encoded in specialized markup, wherever such specialized markup is encountered: in the context of a word processor document, a DAISY book, or a web page or application.
The Open A11y Expert Handlers SIG has gathered use cases and developed
requirements for proposed plugin specifications covering:
- Braille
- Speech Input & Output
- Magnification
- Alternative Input
- Content Navagability
In this session, the panel will explain its work to date and invite comments on
its work from the audience. A comparison with existing specialized markup
assistive technology will be presented briefly as well in order to illustrate
the need for the platform and toolkit neutral plugin mechanism Open A11y

Photojournalist Acquitted of Resisting Arrest at Occupy Miami Confrontation
A Florida jury has acquitted photographer Carlos Miller of charges that he resisted arrest while covering police action at an Occupy encampment in Miami last January. Police alleged that Miller had refused orders to clear the area, but another journalist provided evidence to support Miller's claim that he was singled out among several journalists for arrest.
Miller, who is the voice behind the Photography Is Not a Crime blog, has been a tireless critic of police harassment of journalists. He learned after his arrest last January that police had circulated his Facebook photo internally–including to the officer who arrested him–and that police considered him a troublemaker.
According to Miller, police had finished clearing the Occupy Miami encampment and had broken ranks when Miami-Dade police officer Nancy Perez recognized him. Perez ordered other officers to arrest Miller, allegedly for refusing a police order to disperse.
Miller managed to capture a video and audio recording of his arrest. Police erased the video file, but Miller managed to recover it with computer file recovery software. He intended to use the recording of his arrest to win acquittal.
But the case turned on the testimony of a Miami Herald columnist, according to Miller's own account of the trial, and a report of the trial in the Miami New Times. The Herald columnist, Glenn Garvin, testified in court that Miller was on the scene as a journalist, not a protester, and that he (Garvin) never heard police order journalists to clear the area.
Garvin was standing near Miller when the arrest took place, and Garvin became worried that he would be arrested, too. But the officer who ordered Miller's arrest assured Garvin that he was under no threat of arrest.
"That proved that police had not established a clear perimeter, contrary to what they had been arguing, claiming that I had deliberately walked into that perimeter after being told I was not supposed to be there," Miller explained on his blog.
It was Miller's third arrest while photographing in public. The first time, he was convicted of resisting arrest, but managed to get that conviction overturned on appeal. The second time, the charges against him were dropped because the arresting office did not show up at his court hearing to testify.

I've long been a fan of the Twilight Concert Series but the Modest Mouse crowd (not necessarily rowdy-just mega huge at 40,000 plus) turned me off. Apparently, though, the scene at last week's Girl Talk show was more subdued, with more room to breathe. So if that's the case then this Thursday's show should be just fine.
So here we go: Beirut. They are so cool. Think indie/folk with a lot of gypsy music. In fact, lead singer and founder Zach Condon was heavily influenced by a European trip he took at 19. He recorded the band's first album, Gulag Orkestrar shortly thereafter. Now they've recorded another album, March of the Zapotec and are making their very first appearance in Utah.
With Beirut, you get lots of instruments (violin, mandolin, organ, accordian, horns-you name it) and a rolling almost Smiths-like sound. But much more rich, if that makes sense. Basically, this Thursday's show is set to be a cornucopia of sound. I'll be there. Will you?

I have one star hub that was already modified many years ago. Roller bearings was replaced with tapered roller bearings, and those are also destroyed. So I thought maybe to rebuild the hub with ball bearings.
Have any of you ever done this?
I found a link to the page where SKF 6204 bearings were used:
I have to explain that the hub is destroyed to throw and or rebuilding but it is not worth to rebuild it to its original state, so I thought I could to try to rescue it with use of ball bearings.
Do you have any plans how to convert the hub, how to lathe it and how to make the inner bearing sleeve. Any dimensions (inner, outer diameters of sleeve), plans, etc.

Arteriocyte entered into a three-year CRADA with the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) to investigate stem cell therapies developed on the company's technologies for orthopedic trauma and related battlefield injuries. Arteriocyte's Magellan® MAR01™ system will be evaluated for bedside production of cellular therapies and its Nanex™ platform will be used for stem cell expansion.
Arteriocyte is currently working with USAISR to evaluate Magellan point-of-care therapies for compartment syndrome (amputation prevention), burn debridement, and post-surgical wound infection prevention. The newly established CRADA will enable Arteriocyte to work directly with USAISR staff to explore broader use of its technologies to treat orthopedic trauma including limb injuries (bone, cartilage, muscle, and vessel structure) that affect a majority of battlefield wounded soldiers.
The Magellan system is an FDA 510(k)-cleared medical device for the rapid production of platelet-rich plasma from blood and bone marrow that is applied to a surgical site. Magellan MAR01 technology enables the closed-system concentration of aspirated bone marrow, yielding an injectable tissue rich in platelets, hematopoietic stem cells, and mesenchymal stem cells, commonly viewed as key components in tissue repair.
The self-contained Magellan unit provides ease-of-use and operator-independent consistency necessary for deployment in military medical operations, according to Arteriocyte. In addition to therapies for battlefield wounds, Arteriocyte is currently enrolling patients into a Phase I trial to evaluate the role of MAR01 in peripheral vascular disease with additional cardiac and orthopedic trials planned.
The Nanex platform consists of a biofunctional nanofiber-based 3-D scaffold designed to mimic the bone marrow environment, permitting rapid ex vivo proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells with minimal differentiation. Arteriocyte has multiple active development programs for this platform, including treatment of ischemic disease, identification and treatment of cancers of the blood system, and high-volume ex vivo red blood cell production.

Who pays late assessments after a condo or HOA unit is foreclosed by the association?
A client asked me yesterday what their condo should do in a case where the condo has filed for foreclosure and then the lender has just filed for foreclosure. Should the association proceed to take title and rent in this case or not? In such circumstances, I would (and have) given the answer most clients don't like, "It depends". That immediately raises the question, "On what does it depend"?
Mortgage foreclosures are still taking more than 600 days, on average, from what I have read. My experience is similar to that, although sometimes they move more or less quickly. As long as the delinquent owner holds title, that homeowner is liable for assessments, under Florida law. That can really hurt an association, when the owner simply is not paying anything or has defaulted on a stipulated payment plan. Frequently, associations are urged by their attorney to continue to foreclose and take title. If the unit is in reasonable condition, the association can then rent out the unit to recoup lost assessments until the lender forecloses. In many cases, that may be the best alternative, but in some cases it may not.
On the flip side, once the association takes title, and becomes the intervening owner, the association cannot later demand arrearages once the first mortgagee lender forecloses and takes title. The Association is responsible for those fees. Some associations may still demand them from the foreclosing first mortgagee, but that is improper and not authorized by Florida law.
This can become a difficult business decision for the association – hold on its own foreclosure and wait for the mortgage foreclosure sale, or proceed on its own foreclosure. In some cases, the Association may not be able to recoup what the first mortgagee would owe, once that first mortgagee takes title. Then the Association is stuck, and cannot recoup from the "bank" or subsequent owners. In other words, the ability to recoup fees from a future owner, whether the first mortgagee or a third party, is not legally possible.
In short, foreclosing is a gamble. How much of a gamble depends on mathematics (anathema to some unfortunately). It requires thought and calculation. How much, if any, repair is needed to make the unit rentable? What are other related expenses to taking title, such as attorneys fees and insurance? What can the association realistically charge in rent? What is the likelihood of the lender foreclosing before the lesser of 1% or 12 months is recovered in rent? In an HOA, with a mortgage executed prior to 2007 or 2008, then the association must consider what the lender's liability would be — if the Declaration protects first mortgagees (and sometimes anyone who takes title as a result of foreclosure) and the Declaration lacks "Kaufman language" (that the Dec is subject to the statutes as the change from time to time), then the answer is simple. The Dec controls and may preclude recovery from the lender. The decision to take title and rent becomes much easier. If the unit is rentable, the Association is usually advised to foreclose and rent (if the nut is in decent condition and rentable), since that may be the only way it can recover late assessments.
For a condo that decision is not as simple. For mortgages executed after 1993, the statute does govern, and then it becomes a matter of calculation and an educated gamble. Can the association likely recover the 1% or 12 months of assessments (in some cases it may be only 6 months, again depending on when the mortgage was executed).
Many of us wish the Legislature would close that loophole and exempt the intervening association foreclosure. However, that has not happened as yet, and with the banking lobby, isn't likely to happen anytime soon.
So my advice is still "it depends," and this is where the association and its lawyer should carefully consider the options, and the cost-benefit of foreclosing.

There is a new kind of trivia happening over at Fifty Brews in Waterford Lakes by UCF (formerly Fusian Ultra Lounge, Casey's Anthony's ol' stomping ground).
It's called 3rd Degree and it's a lot like Buzztime, already available at many sports bars in Central Florida. It's TV-based and you play against other people at the bar. But unlike Buzztime you solely use your cell phone to answer the questions instead of that wireless "Playmaker" device or cell.
Text-enabled phones work fine and there is a free app for iPhone and Android users where they can also find other places to play the game. Right now I've only seen that it's at Fifty Brews, but you can rank against people across the country who are also playing it. And, like most trivia (electronic or not) around town it's free.

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Sickle cell disease is a lethal disorder in which misshapen red blood cells can clog blood vessels and cut of blood flow to organs. However, new research shows that this normally harmful characteristic may also be used for a beneficial purpose—to cut off blood flow to cancerous tumors. Researchers from Duke Medicine and Jenomic developed a process of exploiting sickle-shaped red blood cells to selectively target oxygen-deprived cancer tumors in mice and block the blood vessels that surround them.
"Sickle cells appear to be a potent way to attack hypoxic (oxygen-starved) solid tumors, which are notable for their resistance to existing cancer chemotherapy agents and radiation," says senior author Mark W. Dewhirst, DVM, Ph.D., a radiation oncologist and director of Duke's Tumor Microcirculation Laboratory. "This is an exciting finding that suggests a potential new approach to fighting tumors that are currently associated with aggressive disease."
Sickle cells are typically associated with a potentially life-threatening disease in which red blood cells are deformed in the shape of a crescent moon or sickle. Unlike healthy red blood cells that flow smoothly through vessels, the sickle cells get stuck, causing blockages that are painful and damaging to tissue.
A collaborative effort between Duke researchers and scientists from Jenomic began in 2006 to explore whether sickle cells could similarly build clots in the vast networks of blood vessels that feed oxygen-starved cancer tumors, which can grow increasingly lethal as their oxygen needs escalate.
In an NIH-funded study of mice with breast cancer, the researchers gave the animals an infusion of fluorescently dyed sickle cells and viewed them under window chambers that provide real-time observation of processes inside the body. Within five minutes, the deformed cells began to adhere to the blood vessels surrounding the hypoxic tumors. Over 30 minutes, the cells had formed clots and began blocking the small blood vessels that fed the tumor. The team says the sickle cells ultimately formed microaggregates that obstructed up to 88% of tumor microvessels.
Dr. Dewhirst says the sickle cells stick like Velcro to the hypoxic tumor because it produces an abundance of adhesion molecules as part of its distress from oxygen deprivation. Normal cells don't produce the adhesion molecules, so there's nothing for the sickle cells to snag onto.
"Unlike normal red blood cells, we found that sickle cells show a highly unique natural attraction to oxygen-deprived tumors where they stick, cluster, and plug tumor blood vessels. Once clustered within the tumor, the sickle cells deposit a toxic iron residue as they die, causing tumor cell death," says David S. Terman, M.D., head of molecular genetics at Jenomic.
To boost that caustic effect, the researchers added zinc compounds (zinc protoporphyrin alone or in combination with doxorubicin) to the sickle cells, which caused even greater oxidative stress in the tumor and surrounding blood vessels. This resulted in a dramatic delay in tumor growth, quadrupling the amount of time the tumors were inactive compared to tumors exposed to regular blood cells. Mice showed no acute toxicity to the sickle cell treatment, the researchers report. They also note the importance of the induced injury to both tumor microvessels and tumor cells, in contrast to existing treatments directed only to the hypoxic tumor cell.
Drs. Dewhirst and Terman say the research team would continue to conduct studies in animals before moving to human trials. The study appears online in the January 9, 2013, edition of the PLOS ONE, in a paper titled "Sickle Erythrocytes Target Cytotoxics to Hypoxic Tumor Microvessels and Potentiate a Tumoricidal Response".

Donna Bussell
Professor Bussell on studying the Middle Ages
Meet Donna Bussell
Assistant Professor,
- B.S. California State University Bakersfield
- M.A. California State University
- M.A. San Francisco State University
- Ph.D, Columbia University
- I am from Manhattan. Which means I talk fast. I walk fast. And I am still searching for the perfect bagel here in the Midwest.
Interesting facts:
- I am now on my third career—so I know what it's like to work and go to school. I was a registered nurse, and a bilingual speech-language pathologist before becoming an English professor.
Learning philosophy:
- Learning is fun! But it takes a strong commitment to doing the work. Creativity develops hand-in-hand with analytical thinking.
Research interests:
- Women, politics, and religion in the Middle Ages, especially in England and France. Multilingualism and literacy in the Middle Ages.
Major project underway:
- I am completing essays on a literary culture at Barking Abbey, a medieval Benedictine women's community that lasted nearly 800 years. I am also beginning a project on Mary Magdalene.
Listen to Professor Bussell on studying the Middle Ages:
Advice to prospective students:
- Get ready to challenge yourself, and to be challenged by others. College is a special place. You will have opportunities unlike anything you've experienced before, but only if you embrace the possibilities. You can read, write, and think deeply about all sorts of issues. Open yourself to what is available here, especially the feedback you'll get about your work from teachers and fellow students who have no goal other than helping you to do better.
Best thing about UIS:
- Getting to know the students. Teaching small classes means that I can have conversations with my students where there is plenty of give-and-take. It also means we do things that would be impossible in a large lecture (like staging medieval battles) that help us understand what we're reading in new ways.

cardiac care and surgery
St. Francis provides award-winning, comprehensive cardiac care, including:
24/7 Emergency treatment
Chest Pain Center
Three Cardiac Catheterization Labs
Cardiac Care Unit
Intensive Care with Specially-Trained Staff
- Use of special technology, including Impella heart pumps
Cardiac Monitoring offered throughout ST. FRANCIS downtown
Advanced Cardiac Imaging, including Cardiac CT and MRI, Vascular Ultrasound and Digital Echocardiography
Cardiac, Vascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation
chest pain center
While chest pain is one of the most commonly recognized symptoms of a heart attack, it can be difficult to tell if your chest pain is caused by your heart or another problem particularly if you have no previous heart conditions. St. Francis Chest Pain Center is staffed by hospitalists and cardiologists 24 hours a day who help determine if chest pain is caused by a heart condition.
Located just steps away from the Emergency Room, the eight-bed Chest Pain Center allows those who arrive with chest pain to bypass the ER and be monitored and tested quickly. The Chest Pain Center is fully equipped with diagnostic equipment, and physicians and specially-trained staff perform non-invasive tests such as nuclear and echo stress tests, EKGs and blood chemistry tests to arrive at a rapid diagnosis.
If you are found to have heart problems, you will be admitted to the hospital and have access to St. Francis Heart Care. If tests show your chest pain is not caused by a heart condition, convenient touches abound. There is even a shower area so you can clean up and return to work immediately if you prefer.
cardiac care unit
St. Francis new eight-bed Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) is the latest milestone in St. Francis Heart Care. The new CCU was created to optimize clinical excellence and attention to the needs of the whole person. The result is a state-of-the-art, beautiful and convenient unit that improves our patients experiences.
The CCU is located near the Chest Pain Center, catheterization labs, operating rooms and telemetry unit to ensure smooth transport to and from procedures. Staffed by our efficient and highly-trained nursing staff, the unit is the first in the Upstate to use state-of-the-art, flexible medical arms over each patients bed instead of the traditional fixed head wall system. This overhead system allows caregivers to position the medical equipment in the best way to meet patient needs while offering convenient access to all members of the healthcare team.
Because St. Francis believes in healing the whole person, the CCU was created using design and materials that are shown to best promote healing. Touches like the abundant use of natural lighting, high ceilings and calming colors result is an environment that contributes in every aspect to the best patient-care delivery.
Patients' families also can enjoy beautiful new waiting areas and consultation rooms that are located on the same floor, close to their loved one. There is even a special elevator dedicated to the CCU that brings family and friends from the ground floor directly up into the CCU waiting area.
cardiac catheterization and heart surgery
For many patients, treatment of serious heart concerns starts with a cardiac catheterization. St. Francis has three dedicated cardiac catheterization labs equipped with state-of-the-art technology that allows physicians to pinpoint problem areas and even treat them on the spot during the same procedure.
A cardiac catheterization allows physicians to see arteries that may be narrowed or blocked, as well as open the narrow area using balloon angioplasty and placing stents to hold the arteries open.
Patients with heart arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation may have cardiac ablation to treat irregular heartbeats.
Patients who have arteries that are completely blocked often need a coronary bypass surgery.
impella heart pump
The Impella heart pump is the world's smallest heart pump that can be inserted in the catheterization laboratory through a standard guide wire. It goes through the femoral artery, across the aortic valve and into the left ventricle of the heart. It pumps blood from the left ventricle into the ascending aorta and provides critical blood supply to vital organs. It temporarily takes over the pumping function of the heart and provides time needed to initiate lifesaving interventions. The Impella moves the blood through the heart and to the other organs 5 times faster than current industry devices. It relieves the heart and provides time and options in the middle of high-risk events. It allows the heart to rest and, in some cases, recover. Other similar types of cardiac support devices require cardiothoracic surgical placement through the chest, far more of a strain on the patient at a time of crisis. Because the device is catheter based, it is easier to insert. The Impella pump can be used for:
Acute heart failure
High-risk cardiovascular conditions
Long-term treatment
Bridge to transplantation

VIDEO of Ryan Mallett getting blitzed by NFL combine press
From the very first question, which surrounded questions about character concerns and rumors circulating during his college career, Ryan Mallett was on the defensive.
The two-year starter at Arkansas had to know it was coming. Speculation and whispers have surrounded him for weeks, prompting his draft stock to drop. But Mallett clearly didn't expect the assembled media at the NFL combine to blitz him on first-and-10.
"First one, huh? No, I'm not going to talk about that right now. I've got interviews with the teams. And what teams need to know, they need to know. I'm going to leave it at that."
So, what's the combine experience been like?
"Yeah, I'm enjoying it. It's a great experience. Getting to meet the coaches that you see on TV and getting to meet the players that are high profile, it's been a great experience. It's tough but we're trying to enjoy it at the same time."
Does it bother you that these things are being said about you?
"It doesn't bother me."
What was it like playing for Bobby Petrino at Arkansas?
"It was a great experience. I learned a lot from him. He helped me learn a lot about defense and what it takes to get to this point. I have the utmost respect for him. And if I had to do it again, I would."
What do you look forward to at the next level?
"Competing against the guys that are at the top of the game right now. Trying to be like Tom (Brady) and Peyton (Manning) and guys like that is something I strive for as I watch the way they play the game. They control the game at the line of scrimmage and that's what I like to do."
What kind of person are you?
"I would say I'm a great person. I would also tell them to ask the coaches and the people I've worked with before. And if you don't know about my character, ask them and they can tell you."
You said you're not upset about the rumors, but how do you think they got started?
"I mean I can't tell you. When I saw that, I laugh about it. You can't control it, though."
Doesn't bother you?
"Not at all. Not at all."
What went into your decision when you left Michigan?
"I had a great experience at Michigan. I met a lot of great people, coach (Lloyd Carr), QB coach [Scott] Loeffler, were the main reasons I went there. It was a great experience. I learned a lot of things. The transition was because of the offense, was why I left to go to Arkansas. Coach [Rich] Rodriguez knew what he wanted to do and I thought it was best if I went somewhere else….I did talk to coach for about 10 minutes and we decided it was best if I didn't stay. What was tough for me was having to sit out. But it was the right decision for me."
How have you improved from last season?
"I'm taking checkdowns more, getting that completion percentage up. And not taking as many shots when the need was not be."
What do you say when some people say you're not that accurate?
"7,000 plus yards and 60 touchdowns in two seasons, that's how I respond to that."
How far can you throw a ball?
"I can throw it 80-plus."
What do you think is the best asset you'd bring to an NFL team?
"For me, my strength as a person, as a quarterback is my mental game, knowing defenses and recognizing [them] and knowing what they're going to do on third down and distance."
What you admire about Tom Brady and Peyton Manning?
"The way they play games with the defenses, the dummy cadences and things like that and try to get the defense to show their hand. I try to do that also."
We've heard so much about you and Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert. Are you excited to compete and show you're the top guy?
"I don't worry about what they do, I can only control what I do. And I've always been like that. I don't try and take control of what I can't control.
People can talk about them if they want to. I'm going to go play my game."
Do these allegations bother you considering they keep circulating?
"You're only human. They can keep circulating or whatever. But I can't control them. I don't even want to talk about them because there's nothing I can even talk about it….I mean, obviously somebody did it for a reason, right before the combine, right before the draft. That's the last I'm going to talk about that, though.
But can you clarify the drug use rumors?
"Like I said, I'm not going to talk about it right now. I talked about it with teams. We've discussed it and everything is good."
What's your favorite memory about playing in Arkansas?
"The fans. Playing at Arkansas, that's like Arkansas' professional team and they treat us like that. My favorite moment was probably the game against LSU that put us in the Sugar Bowl. There's a lot of great players in the SEC, and a lot of them are here. The speed of the game is extremely fast and
the complexity of the defenses, they change every week. Going in we have a plan and then we have to re-adjust."
Do you feel like you have some swagger to you?
"I don't know about a swagger. I feel like I have confidence in myself and teams see that. Some people don't like my confidence. But I can't do nothing about it."
What teams are you meeting with here at the combine?
"I don't like to discuss clubs' business, that's my business and their business."
Do you feel like your size gives you an advantage in this draft?
"It helps being able to look down the field and feel things coming. Obviously I'm not going to run around I'm going to move around in the pocket and find the open guy."
Ryan, the questions about the allegations are not going to go away, until you give an answer.
"I understand that. But like I said, I'm not going to talk about it. I'll talk about it with the teams."

Just got the word from an FFL dealer who has worked out of his home for the about the last twenty years. I used to help him at gunshows in VA and he sells hundreds of firearms a month both at shows and from his home during evenings and weekends when not at shows.
He is being shut down by the BATF for 'paper work errors'. He also told me he knows four other FFL home based dealers who were shut down in the past year. This is just another ploy of Barky and the Commocrats to stop the sale of firearms to US citizens IMHO!

Mark Fisher, the talented and prolific creator of environments that helped take the experience of rock concerts to a new and more spectacular level, passed away on June 26, 2013. He was 66. Fisher was responsible for the stage design of iconic and groundbreaking concert environments for such Hall of Fame Inductees as the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and U2, among others.
With news of his passing, the Rolling Stones issued the following statement, quoted in the Daily Mail newspaper: "We are all extremely saddened to hear of the death of dear friend Mark Fisher. The remarkable sets he designed for us over last two decades played a major part in the success of all those tours. His passion, dedication and professionalism was infectious. We all loved his dry sense of humor and unflappable demeanor ... a quietly soft spoken genius."
Among his credits, Fisher designed the set for the Rolling Stones' 1989 Steel Wheels tour and ex-Pink Floyd member Roger Waters' The Wall extravaganza in 1990, when he performed the 1979 album The Wall at Potsdamer Platz, the site of the Berlin Wall. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is proud to display examples of Fisher's work from both of these tours, including an installation that mirrors the Berlin performance and celebrates The Wall's most famous song, "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)." The 30-foot-high "teacher" from the song looms over the wall, while "Pink" sits behind it in a bleak motel room, watching TV. Visitors exit via the small hole through which Roger Waters sang the final song of the first half of the show, "Goodbye Cruel World," as the last brick was put in place, completing the blank and alien wall.
Fisher started collaborating with U2 in 1992, working on the band's Zoo TV, PopMart, Elevation and Vertigo tours. While Fisher worked primarily on the set designs for outdoor stadiums on the Zoo TV tour, the indoor versions featured six highly decorated East German Trabant automobiles (pictured, left, inside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum), which were suspended from the lighting rig, 35 TV monitors and a remote mini-stage, onto which a seventh Trabant was lowered during intermission. The Trabants' headlights served as spotlights, while messages, slogans, pre-recorded videos and live television broadcasts appeared on the screens. "We've got all this technology available, and it's our duty to abuse it," said lead singer Bono, who, dressed in black leather and wrap-around sunglasses, had been transformed into The Fly, the ultimate rock star. Those cars appear in the Museum's first floor. Fisher's work with U2 reached its apogee with 2010's 360˚ tour, which became the largest touring production in history.
Fisher also worked with Elton John and Madonna and also created stage sets for the theatrical musical We Will Rock You, based on the music of Queen.
In addition to his work in the music world, Fisher also designed the U.K.'s Millennium Dome inaugural show in 1999, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing and London Olympics in 2008 and 2012, respectively.

Recipe of the Week: Tofu-Spinach Manicotti!
In keeping with this month's "Recipe of the Week" theme—tofu—I thought I would highlight one of my all-time favorites: tofu-spinach manicotti!
This magnificent creation is one part school cafeteria food, and one part Italian classic, with a hefty spoonful of awesomeness.
- 1 – 16 oz. box frozen spinach, heated in the microwave (or the fresh stuff, if you're classy)
- 1 – 2 jars of your favorite tomato sauce
- 1/2 lb. carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup canned low-sodium veggie broth
- 1 lb. herbed tofu (or regular tofu, with Italian seasoning added to it)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (available at health food stores)
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 box manicotti noodles, cooked
- Vegan mozzarella cheese, if desired
Slice carrots, and set them aside. Put olive oil into a large skillet, place over medium-high heat until hot. Add the parsley and garlic, then saute for 1 minute. Add the carrots and veggie broth; simmer uncovered for 5 min. Add herbed tofu, and lemon juice; stir well. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until the mixture starts to melt. Feel free to stir in the nutritional yeast at this step, just to make it a little bit more cheesy! Remove from heat; keep warm.
Place the cooked manicotti noodles in the bottom of an 11×7 baking dish, stuffing them with spread carrot mixture, the spinach, and then sauce. Once they're all stuffed, pour the remaining sauce over top. Cover and bake 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Uncover, add vegan cheese if desired, and bake an additional 15 – 20 minutes, or until it is thoroughly heated.

Westlake Chemical
Westlake Chemical (NYSE: WLK) is a vertically integrated manufacturer and marketer of basic chemicals, vinyls, polymers and fabricated products.
Website: http://www.westlake.com/
Company Description
Westlake was founded in 1986 by Mr. T.T. Chao. His sons, James and Albert remain Chairman of the Board and CEO respectively.
Product Lines: Olefins: Ethylene, Polyethylene (LDPE and LLDPE), Styrene, Epolene, and Propylene
Vinyls: Caustic soda, vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, and PVC building products including pipe, specialty components, windows and fence.
The company 10K (2013) provides considerable detail. Ethylene is made in two plants by ethane cracking in Lake Charles, LA. (One of the two plants is equipped to use either ethane, ethane/propane blend, or propane/butane/naphtha.) Ethylene is also made by propane cracking in Calvert City, KY. That plant is being converted to ethane cracking to take advantage of abundant shale gas.
Coproducts include chemical grade propylene, crude butadiene, pyrolysis gasoline and hydrogen, which are sold to external customers.
Westlake is the largest US producer of LDPE (low-density polyethylene). In addition to natural gas liquids or petroleum feedstocks for ethylene, the company purchases butene, hexene (for polyethylene), and benzene (for conversion to styrene).
Competitors are listed as--
Chevron Phillips Chemical Co., Dow Chemical, Exxon Mobil Chemical Co., INEOS, LyondellBasell Industries, and Nova Chemicals
The company purchases electricity and operates chlor-alkali plants (electrolysis of salt to make chlorine and caustic soda) at both Calvert City, KY and Geismar, LA. Caustic soda is sold to external customers. The chlorine is reacted with ethylene to make ethylene dichloride (EDC), which is converted to vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and then polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which in turn is converted to PVC pipe and building products like vinyl window frames. The company makes building products at 12 facilities. Westlake has the capacity to convert all of its PVC to building products but also sells PVC to downstream converters. The company has 59% interest in a jv with Suzhou Huasu Plastics Co. in China that makes PVC resin, building products, PVC film and sheets. In 2014, Westlake increased its jv ownership by 35.7% (by buying out the interest of INEOS, subject to government approval).
In July, 2014, Westlake acquired Vinnolit Holdings Gmbh of Germany adding VCM, PVC, and caustic soda capacity in Germany and UK.
PVC competitors include--
Formosa Plastics, Axiall Corporation, Oxy Chem, LP, and Shintech, Inc.
Building Products competitors include--
Diamond Plastics Corporation and JM Eagle
Related Companies
- Westlake Chemical Partners LP (NYSE: WLKP) In March, 2014, Westlake Partners was created to operate the company's ethylene facilities consisting of two plants in Lake Charles, LA, one plant in Calvert City, KY, and a two hundred mile pipeline connecting Mont Belvieu, TX with Longview, TX, where Westlake manufactures polyethylene. Westlake Partners is general partner in the operating company and owns 10.6% of the limited partner interest. Westlake retained 89.4% of the limited partner interest in the operating company and 52.2% limited partner interest in Westlake Partners. The operating company is intended to supply 95% of the ethylene it produces to Westlake at a fixed margin of $0.10/lb.
