When you spend over 16 hours a day sitting in front of a computer like most programmers or technologists in Silicon Valley, you'll appreciate what I'm about to tell you. My back and neck hurts from long sessions on the computer. The 'minimalist' solution is the Backjoy Posture Plus - Dr. Mark Cucuzzella from the Natural Running Center recommended it a few months back but I wanted to test it out for myself. Dr. Mark even carry it with him on all the flights he goes on around the globe. I should have listened to him earlier...
The Backjoy Posture+ patented design encourages optimal posture and engages core muscles so you can sit more comfortably, and correctly, to get more out of life. Posture+ is not a simple cushion. It contains BackJoy's Active Stabilization™ technology. It was designed so you can automatically sit with optimal sitting posture, anytime, anywhere. And with the impact absorbing, all-conditions skin you can sit from the office chair to a rock hard surface with greater comfort, longer.
Simply put, here is how it works:
1. Backjoy Posture+ APS corrects your posture by automatically tilts, cups, and floats your pelvis upright so you can find your most balanced and comfortable posture.
2. Backjoy Posture+ naturally maintains your posture while you sit by automatically adapting to your movements to provide constant strain free comfort and optimal posture without having to even think about it.
3. BackJoy Posture+ engages your core muscles by dynamically supporting your pelvic floor to engage your core. With natural balance and support, you will feel comfortable, stronger and less fatigued after sitting for long periods of time.
The first question that came to mind when I received the Backjoy Posture+ is, 'How long do I have to use it to feel any results?'. My personal answer is three days. But many users experience immediate relief while some require several weeks of regular use to feel the benefits. Thus your results will depend upon your underlying conditions and how often you use your BackJoy Posture+.
Mine sits on top of my computer chair and I usually take the wallet out of my back pocket to get better alignment and balance. But I did find that when I took it for long drives (6 hours+ each way) to Southern California recently, I did not experience the benefits (my lower back and glutes had an uneasy feeling during the drive) probably because of bad posture due to the placement of my foot on the gas pedal or brakes.
The Backjoy Posture+ can be used in more places than you actually realize. Basically, anywhere you sit, it works! The Backjoy Sit Smart Posture+ is available in over a dozen color combinations and can be purchased at Backjoy.

Government looks to Plan B on mining tax
- From: News Corp Australia newspapers
- February 12, 2013
THE Government says it may tweak the mining tax after disappointing proceeds.
The Opposition used question time yesterday to jump on what it said was a flawed tax, suggesting its collection might be close to "idiot territory", raising just $5.50 per Australian in its first six months.
The minerals resource rent tax (MRRT) has raised just $126 million in its first six months of operation, against a full-year forecast of $2 billion.
Treasurer Wayne Swan blamed the shortfall on volatile commodity prices and said it was a long-term reform.
"We will look at the performance of this tax in light of prices in a normal way by our treasury and, of course, by our tax department," he said.
But he accused the Opposition of shortsightedness and said Australia would have lost out on $28 billion from the petroleum resource rent tax (PRRT) if the Coalition had had its way and blocked that 25 years ago.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard lashed out at the "reckless approach" of state governments when asked if the MRRT might be redesigned.
Conservative state governments have increased royalties, which are refunded to mining companies who pay them through the MRRT.
"We have been concerned about increases in these inefficient taxes and we've asked the GST distribution review to look at the matter," she said.
The panel had found the treatment of royalties under the MRRT was both "unsustainable and undesirable", and was now being discussed with state treasurers, she said.

About us
So who are we? We are 'The Away End', a Scottish site dedicated to covering sport.
We began as an online Scottish football magazine. Not since the heady days of SFT has the game north of the border had a regular magazine devoted to it (that's Scottish Football Today for those of you too young to remember, come in and take a seat, you are all very welcome here).
Up until now, we have produced six online issues beginning early 2009. We then took a break from producing magazines to instead launch the website, which we did in November 2009. In addition, we produce a weekly podcast (http://theawayend.libsyn.com), a variety of videos, and a new weekly newspaper.
However, this does not mean non-UWS students can't get involved, and we regularly produce articles on football and other sports from freelance writers, bloggers and students from other institutions.
To keep up to date with whats happening, either check this website regularly, follow us at www.twitter.com/theawayend or www.facebook.com/theawayend, and check out our podcast at http://theawayend.libsyn.com.
The Away End is an independent sports publication and is not connected to or any official product of any club or organisation within Scottish Football or any other sport in any way, shape or form.
Everyone has the right of reply to anything written on this website or in the magazine, and any such correspondence e-mailed to
may be printed in full in the magazine or on the website with suitable responses from the writer in question or the editor. For anyone wishing to reproduce anything from The Away End, we would appreciate it if you asked us first.

Monday was a decent day after early morning showers and thunderstorms; officially at Philadelphia International Airport it reached 84 after a morning low of 69. The rain between 1-3am measured 0.23" in the ol' bucket at the airport, but across Southeastern New Jersey it brought over 0.50". There were also more showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, but were more isolated in nature as a cold front and upper level trough pivoted through in the afternoon.
Overnight the showers and thunderstorms will be isolated and mostly everyone else will just see partial clouds as lows dip down to the lower 60s. Tuesday will feature a light northwest wind shifting to a southwest wind along southern areas in the afternoon. Highs will just be around 80(but upper 70s north and west as well as along the coast). Overnight Tuesday the lows will be in the middle 50s(upper 40s N&W) with a clear sky and a calm wind thanks to amazing radiational cooling!
Highs on Wednesday and Thursday will be in the lower 80s with sunshine giving way to fair weather cumulus once we reach our convective temperature in the afternoon(the estimated temperature that the surface must reach in order for clouds to develop); this will be because there will be a short wave meandering along the Great Lakes and pinwheeling across the region, BUT any showers should stay well north of the region.
Come Friday the cold front that's been hanging out offshore retrogrades a bit closer to the coast, but it's not until Saturday that we may see some showers or thunderstorms(especially along the coast) with highs approaching the middle 80s.
That's it for now, but you can check out the rest of the 7-day forecast at www.scottderekwx.com/forecast.html.

Praise and A Mild Warning
By Freddy
from Boston, MA
Comments about Levenger Special Request Blank (100 cards), Circa Jotlet:
I ordered these cards to add to my "jotlet" (that name makes me cringe) for doing quick sketches on the bus, or at the coffeehouse. The weight is very nice and the surface is a pleasure to draw on. However, a mild warning to anyone who, like me, saw the description "Blank Refill" and assumed the cards would be blank, be aware that Levenger prints its name and 800 number on the lower left-hand corner of one side of each card. (Yes, now I see it faintly visible in the photograph above, but it's much more visible in person, and I for one didn't see any reason to peer at a photograph of what was described as a blank card.) I'm a little resentful of having to advertise Levenger every time I hand over one of my little sketches to its unsuspecting model. I might have shrugged off the name alone, but the 800 number?

Donovan's Brian is the 1953 sci-fi film based on the book of the same name. Dr. Patrick Cory and Dr. Frank Schratt are performing experiments when a plane crashes nearby. They decide to use the dead man, W.H. Donovan, as a test subject to see if they can keep a brain alive. It works all too well and Donovan uses Patrick in order to carry out his nefarious schemes. When Patrick is able to control his body, he tells his wife Janice and Frank to kill Donovan. Can Patrick break free from Donovan?
This isn't a bad film, although the viewer may wonder how Dr. Schratt is able to perform surgery while drunk, since his coordination would suffer. It's somewhat low-key sci-fi, as besides the disembodied brain, it's played out like a crime drama. Viewers who are against animal testing will be pissed off that a monkey is sacrificed for the experiment. The story is good until the climax, where the writers pull a deus ex machina in order to save the good guys. It would have been better if Patrick used his own willpower to defeat Donovan. Despite its flaws, Honolulu sci-fi fans should at least rent it.

I'm glad to announce that DB2 Express-C 9.5.2 for Mac OS X Leopard is available for download. Later tonight, I will provide further details. Meanwhile, enjoy!
If you enjoyed this post, then make sure you subscribe to my Newsletter and/or Feed.
once again another post that I was very much looking forward to!
i am anxiously waiting to see your detailed post on this topic…
Will there be a version for Mac OS X Tiger?
Needed to manually create /etc/sysctl.conf and reboot in order to start DB2. Contents that finally worked:
kern.sysv.shmmax=1073741824 kern.sysv.shmmin=1 kern.sysv.shmmni=512 kern.sysv.shmseg=128 kern.sysv.shmall=268435456
So far, so good.
Amazing news!
Particularly for me, if db2 support on mac had been launched 2 months ago, my decisions when buying a new laptop for work would be completely different, but we can't have everything lol.
What about a solid ODBC driver for the mac? Not talking about the OpenLink Software crap.
[…] pre-announced in my two previous posts, DB2 for Mac OS X Leopard is finally available for download. It's now official, DB2 on Mac is […]

T-Mobile Partners With Swype, Will Be Featured on Several Touchscreens
In my review of the Samsung Omnia II, I paid close attention to the new style of virtual keyboard featured on the handset called Swype. I praised the innovative style that came with it, and wondered about whether or not it would be popular enough to make it to other touchscreen phones. Turns out that the verdict is in, and Swype will now become more of a staple in many of T-Mobile's feature touchscreen phones.
Swype sidesteps the usual tap-tap-tap method of keyboard input and instead opts for a swiping function, hence the name of the technology. You slide your finger from one letter to another without actually taking your finger off the screen until the word is done. Once done, Swype can usually tell what word you're trying to type and throws it up onto the message for you. This method can be especially helpful if you're a bit more clumsy at typing the actual words. If you still can't visualize it, please watch the video at the end of the post.
The first phone to feature Swype Keyboards will be the brand new MyTouch3G, launched today on T-Mobile. This is just the beginning, though: T-Mobile plans on adding it to the HTC HD2, not to mention several other WinMo and Android devices.
With T-Mobile's partnership, it looks as though this could become a new standard for phones all over the world if the phones they're preloaded on are successful.
Here's my video of using Swype on the Omnia II; it should be very similar to this on the new MyTouch3G.

The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, presiding over the regular weekly session of the Council of Ministers this afternoon, remarked on the importance of the Saudi farming sector as more than just a contributor to the Gross Domestic Product, saying: "In addition to the strategic importance of increasing the domestic production of foodstuffs to meet the increasing demands of the population, the development of the agricultural sector leads to other important roles". Expressing pride in the Certificate of Merit awarded to the Kingdom by the World Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), King Fahd stated that the development of the agricultural sector also increases income and promotes the standard of living in rural areas. King Fahd hailed the expansion of agricultural production over the last fifteen years as one of the greatest aspects of the successful realization of comprehensive development in the Kingdom, and expressed delight at the increasing demand worldwide for made-in-Saudi-Arabia processed foodstuffs, which are now being marketed in 90 countries.
King Fahd then reviewed with the cabinet a number of important domestic issues and urged concerned ministers to continue their open-door policy, meet with citizens to discuss their affairs, and try to find immediate solutions. He also urged them to give Saudization top priority in employment.
In addition, King Fahd discussed with the cabinet a number of political developments and described the Palestinian/Israeli accord signed in Washington DC on September 28, 1995, as a positive step towards a comprehensive and fair peace in the region, reiterating the indivisibility of the targeted peace and the importance of reaching an agreement on the Syrian and Lebanese tracks. The cabinet also reviewed the most important developments in areas of tension in the world and confirmed once more the steadfast Saudi position on the need to find peaceful and just solutions for problems that endanger international peace and security.

Buyers Guide: Fuji Absolute
If you were looking for the oldest bike brands, it might surprise you to know that Fuji would be among them. Fuji Bicycles has been helping riders conquer their mountains since 1899, and to this day they've continued to develop some of the most cutting-edge bikes on the market. The Fuji stable of products is enormous, with everything from high-end road bikes, to race-winning mountain bikes, cruisers, comfort bikes and everything in between. Obviously that's too much to deal with in a single article, so in this series we'll break down Fuji's road line up to help you decide which machine is right for you.
The Fuji Absolute is a flatbar road bike that is among the most popular sold in the U.S. Thanks to its non-aggressive, easy riding style, it's pretty much the perfect bike for cyclists who would rather see the sights and enjoy the ride in their everyday clothing than get all dressed up in lycra for a road ride. The Absolute is ideal for everything from urban commuting, to path and pavement riding, to charity rides and longer distance events.
The Absolute series of bikes all feature a durable and lightweight Fuji A2-SL custom butted alloy frame, with either a carbon fiber or a high tensile steel fork that helps absorb road noise and chatter, while increasing comfort. The flatbar setup gives the rider a more upright position for greater comfort and improved stability and visibility. Shimano shifting components are found on all the bikes, and deliver excellent performance in any riding conditions.
There are several different models of the Absolute to choose from, depending on your preferences, riding level, and budget. Fuji usually numbers their models beginning at either 1.0 or 1.1. The lower the number, the higher-end the bike. LE denotes a Limited Edition bike-- usually the result of a collaboration between Fuji and Performance Bicycles. Any model called "Stagger" indicated a bike with women's-specific geometry.
- Absolute 1.3: This model is for the rider who demands high performance, but doesn't want the discomfort of a dropbar race bike. It's outfitted with a carbon fiber fork to drop some weight, as well as lightweight Shimano Sora and Tiagra 9-speed road components for flawless, exact shifting, ideal for fast-paced or long distance rides.
- Absolute 1.5 Stagger: This bike is ideal for women who want performance without sacrificing comfort. This bike features women's-specific geometry for improved comfort while riding. It has a carbon fiber fork, and Shimano Acera 28-speed drivetrain for exact shifting performance.
- Absolute 2.1 & 2.1 Stagger: The Absolute 2.1 is ideal for the regular rider who's looking for excellent performance at a great value. It's available in both men's and women's models, and is equipped with a high tensile steel fork that gives you a silky smooth ride. Shimano 24-speed drivetrain gives you plenty of gearing for hills, thrills or Sunday coffee runs.
- Absolute 2.3 & 2.3 Stagger: This excellent entry-level bike is perfect for the occasional or weekend rider who wants to get out, get some exercise and have some fun. The durable aluminum frame is outfitted with a high tensile steel fork for comfort, and a 21-speed Shimano drivetrain that delivers outstanding performance with a minimum of maintenance.

It was good news that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved the nation's first nuclear power plants on February 9th, clearing the way for the construction of two reactors by Southern Company at its Plant Vogtle site near Atlanta, Georgia. The bad news is that these are the first new nuclear plants since 1978!
In a nation with a growing population and increasing need for electricity to power homes and businesses, it is nothing less than insane to not include nuclear energy in the mix of providers. Environmentalists immediately attacked the announcement using the usual scare campaigns.
Equally insane is the failure to provide the means to safely store the radioactive materials that result. Highly contested by environmentalists, the Nevada-based Yucca Mountain deep geological repository storage facility for spent reactor fuel was cancelled in 2009. Nevada's Senator Harry Reid, Majority Leader in the Senate, played a major role in this disgraceful decision. The Obama administration terminated funding for the development of the site in 2011, leaving the nation with no long-term storage site.
In a similar fashion, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has waged a long war on the provision of energy; most recently with the imposition of its Utility MACT rule on plant carbon dioxide (CO2) and mercury emissions, neither of which pose any threat. Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, decried the rule as one "intended to undermine the viability of coal, one of our country's most abundant and reliable energy sources."
Despite having spent billions to meet the demand for upgrades of the technology to trap such emissions, coal-fired plants all over the nation are in the process of being closed as a result of the MACT rule. These "greenhouse gas" rules are baseless insofar as CO2 is not a pollutant and is vital to the growth of all vegetation on the planet. There is no proof that minor mercury emissions represent any threat to public health.
The EPA use of bogus "computer models" to support wild health claims argues for an end to this agency and the return of its responsibilities to state environmental agencies.
In January, the American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the leading authority, warned that "environmental regulations are shown to be the number one risk to reliability over the next one to five years."
The Institute for Energy Research has stated that "Beyond the 38 gigawatts of electricity capacity that has already been announced to retire, NERC estimates that another 36 to 59 gigawatts of capacity will come off-line by 2018, depending on the 'scope and timing' of EPA regulations. Together, nearly a quarter of our coal-fired capacity could be off-line by 2018, marking the first time in energy history that installed coal-fired capacity has declined."
This is a threat to the viability and security of a nation that sits atop the largest deposits of coal in the world! It is a nation in which coal provides 50% of its electricity.
In a similar fashion, environmentalists, after a long propaganda war against coal, have launched an equally massive campaign against natural gas, attacking the use of "fracking", a technology that has been safely used for the last fifty years or more to access equally vast reserves of natural gas.
Likewise the cost of automobiles has been systematically driven up by the wholly false EPA assertion that their CO2 emissions represent a threat to clean air. The imposition of a mandate to mix gasoline with ethanol has resulted in greater CO2 emissions while, at the same time, reducing the mileage of cars. In addition, the use of food crops like corn for the production of ethanol, have driven up food prices.
Anyone who has lost electricity due to a blizzard or a hurricane knows how totally dependent the nation is on reliable and affordable electricity, and knows how totally dependent they are on is provision.
The simple fact is that the present and prior administration's EPA, the Department of Transportation, and others have been lying to Congress and the American public for years regarding their claims about air pollution and energy provision. The Interior Department just put uranium-rich acres of land off-limits to mining.
Environmental organizations and special interest groups like the American lung Association are a fifth column of enemies within the nation.
The global warming hoax—now called climate change—is on its last legs. Nations around the world that have wasted billions on the claims made for "renewable" energy, solar and wind, are pulling back from further support. The "science" behind these claims has been totally and utterly refuted.
Even the United Nations, the source of the global warming hoax, is now switching its debased claims to a new hoax based on so-called endangered species.
The loss of tens of thousands of jobs in the energy and transportation sectors, as well as energy-intensive industries, is incalculable. EPA demands and mandates are deliberately undermining the nation's economy.
The lives and safety of Americans are under attack by environmental organizations and, if they are successful, the only outcome would be the deaths of millions here and around the world from hunger and the lack of power to turn on the lights, heat and cool homes, and power industries.
The planet is not running out of oil, coal, or natural gas. It can use more nuclear power, not less.
We are witnessing an environmental attack on American energy and, ultimately, on America.

Maurice Strong is an excellent example of environmentalist hatred. His remarks on his willingness to sacrifice human life for environmental causes show environmentalism's true colors. Maurice was involved in the formulation of the Kyoto protocols. He has repeatedly stated his desire to completely dismantle western civilization and modern technological society.
Please Google UN Agenda 21. This outrageous organization of "new world order" clowns are on a mission to destroy all of our rights and freedoms. And they have the perfect Marxist in office (at present) to help them with this evil agenda. Look up Maurice Strong too. The people against all of this garbage are: (in part) Rosa Kiore and Tom DeWeese.
we have not Built a Nulclear Power Plant since 1972 this is ridiculous it emitts carbon Dioxide the very air we breathe the green people think they will win but they won't the Cape Cod project did not work Not in my back yard ted Kenndy walter Kronkite and John Kerry all objecting to windpower with Ge using the Gulf stream using tubines but they doth Object to the Cape Cod Project and so it never happened, go figure
Robert Woodman. CO2 in elevated levels is used in greenhouses as "aerial fertilizer" to increase plant growth and fruit production. It can double food production in some plants. Plant growth increases from elevated co2 and this kind of green environment is one humanity would benefit from as well as all life on earth. Plants can also lock up some of the co2 moderating the atmospheric levels, but the actual effect depends on many factors so I don't indulge in computer model idiocy.
what idiots the green movement is Soylandra ,Sunpower, Lightsquare another soalr company hits the dust
When it comes to the green movement and energy the Germans are idiots. They also closed and sold their solar cell manufacturing capability to the Chinese who dismantled and moved the plants to China.
While the US has not made much use for years of civilian nuclear power, the technology has grown and improved. Look at the safety record of the US navy for one example. Canada also has made great strides in nuclear power design. Nuclear "pebble bed reactors" are safe enough they have been proposed as sealed remote site generator power systems for third world regions. Efficiency improvements have also been made in hydroelectric power, but environmentalists have blocked most of those as well.
The Japan nuclear disaster was not just from the damage from the earthquake, but from stupidity in design. They left the fuel tank for the emergency backup power for the cooling system unprotected outside where it was destroyed by the tidal wave. Without the cooling system the reactor failed. If the fuel tank had been properly protected the plant would have ridden out the quake and no disaster would have ensued. Yes, they had a problem, but as sentient beings we can learn from our or better others mistakes and improve the world around us. "The restoration of perfection is the proper work of man" medieval quote. This attitude and belief in the ability to make the world better is part of what modern liberalism and socialism has killed in our society.
Competing healthy nuclear, coal, gas, and hydroelectric will give us the best most durable and cheapest power grid. The current cost of solar and wind make them to expensive and unprofitable to bother with in most places. I am not sure if this is an engineering issue, material cost, or market manipulation.
There will be many scientific discoveries made in the future. Those new discoveries will provide the scientific basis for many, many new technological innovations. However.....The only specific scientific knowledge that we can be certain that our descendants will have ten generations from now are those things that we know today. The only specific technologies that we can be certain that our descendants have the use of are those that we already have the use of today.
Just sayin'.....Though the perfection of atomic fusion would result in the availability of enough new energy that it may last longer than the human race will last and even though we already have some scientific awareness and understanding of atomic fusion there is no way of guaranteeing that atomic fusion will ever be perfected and made available as a viable provider of mankind's energy needs.
And those aren't chickens coming home to roost. Those are buzzards.
@ Revo,
I find it interesting that Deutschland, known for a strong "green" presence ,is used as the example when just to the west France generates 75% of its electricity from nuclear power. This link shows that http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf40.html . A friend of mine, whose PHd in physcis makes her eminently more qualified than myself, believes nuclear power to be safe and thinks the Japan incident is not representative of nuclear power generation in general. I can agree with increased drilling and mining but to not include nuclear power in the arsenal of solutions is a mistake.
don't you SEE? That is the PLAN! the Death of millions! Population control and eugenics have long been the goals of the New World Order. Taking away reliable energy is a good way to control the population. Genetically manufactured foods which are causing untold problems in humans. Mandated birth control, even if it violates your religious rights, is being called for. Agenda 21 being quietly implemented. Wake up people! Connect the dots!

The original domestic Sphynx kitten was born in 1966 in Ontario, Canada and the lack of fur domino effects from a genetic mutation. Cautious, discriminating breeding methods have brought out the healthier traits of Sphynx cats while protecting their hairlessness. These cats are gaining popularity on a regular basis; it seems more and more people are appreciating their artistic beauty. They come in many color variations of their skin pigments.
Although the Sphynx are hairless in appearance, they do have velvety fuzz on their bodies. They also have light hair on the nose, toes and tail. The texture of their bodies has been compared to peach fuzz.
Because they are hairless, the Sphynx are more vulnerable to temperature changes and skin disorders, it is very important that this breed remains indoors at all times. They also need to be buffed every day with a soft, chamois cloth. They may also necessitate a bath and this task should be started early on or accomplished by a professional groomer.
Sphynx cats are very curious, playful and can be quite sly at times. They adore being the center of attention like being with other pets. They may be more affectionate and loving because of changes in temperature with very little fur to buffer the transformation of the seasons...
Remember to use only shampoos that are designed for felines or suggested by your vet. Using shampoos for humans or even dogs can be deadly for cats.
Before picking up a Sphynx cat, make certain your hands are warm. Cold hands may give them reason to not like being picked up later on.

Chemotherapy, biological agents or combinations of both have had little impact on survival of patients with metastatic melanoma. Advances in understanding the genetic changes associated with the development of melanoma resulted in availability of promising new agents that inhibit specific proteins up-regulated in signal cell pathways or inhibit anti-apoptotic proteins. Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor of the RAF/RAS/MEK pathway, elesclomol (STA-4783) and oblimersen (G3139), an antisense oligonucleotide targeting anti-apoptotic BCl-2, are in phase III clinical studies in combination with chemotherapy. Agents targeting mutant B-Raf (RAF265 and PLX4032), MEK (PD0325901, AZD6244), heat-shock protein 90 (tanespimycin), mTOR (everolimus, deforolimus, temsirolimus) and VEGFR (axitinib) showed some promise in earlier stages of clinical development. Receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (imatinib, dasatinib, sunitinib) may have a role in treatment of patients with melanoma harbouring c-Kit mutations. Although often studied as single agents with disappointing results, new targeted drugs should be more thoroughly evaluated in combination therapies. The future of rational use of new targeted agents also depends on successful application of analytical techniques enabling molecular profiling of patients and leading to selection of likely therapy responders.

LeAnn Rimes may have wished that she stayed more silent when asked by Ryan Seacrest about her feud with Brandi Glanville. As reported by RumorFix on Tuesday, July 15, Ryan asked LeAnn, who was doing press for her new "LeAnn & Eddie" reality TV show with husband Eddie Cibrian, about being in a media and Twitter war with Brandi.
LeAnn implied that it was mostly Brandi's fault. She said that the feud with the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star has been "a very one-sided feud" and that Brandi has been "fighting with herself for a long time." LeAnn insisted that while Brandi has often opened up her mouth, she has stayed silent about a lot of things. LeAnn added that she has ignored way more things than she should have but she made the conscious decision to not go "absolutely nuts."
As for the times when LeAnn does talk about Brandi, LeAnn said that there are times when she simply has to stand up for herself. Unfortunately for LeAnn, it seems that there are many who believe that she has it all wrong. Several people replied to the article to comment that it is LeAnn who has been unable to stop talking about Brandi all these years.
They also pointed out that LeAnn has hardly stayed silent over anything, as evidenced by her very active Twitter feed. One person even said that LeAnn has been copying Brandi in an attempt to become her for a while, with staying at Brandi's honeymoon hotel during her recent vacation with Eddie being the latest incident.
Surprisingly, Brandi hasn't said anything on social media about what LeAnn said about her. Perhaps she has been too busy getting back to normal life after returning from hosting what has been dubbed the "World's Largest Bachelorette Party" at TAO Nightclub in Las Vegas over the weekend? Or perhaps Brandi Glanville actually realizes that talking about LeAnn Rimes will just give her enemy press that she shouldn't get?

" (CBS) The NHL likes to promote itself with a series of promotional announcements called "History Will Be Made."
" During the playoffs, the league will break out past playoff highlights of its greatest and most memorable moments and then rewind the event so viewers can easily see the instant a shot was fired or a save was made. Bobby Orr's famous 1970 overtime goal is one of those "History Will Be Made" moments. So is Patrick Kane's championship-winning overtime goal for the Blackhawks over the Flyers two years ago. It's a fairly clever campaign because it gets the message across (without being preachy) that every playoff game is worth watching.
Hockey fans and basketball fans have never seen teams from the same city win the winter championships in the same year. Teams from Boston, Chicago and New York have come close, but it has never happened. There is a chance that it could happen this year, and Chicago may have the best chance of pulling off the feat.
Of course, having a healthy Derrick Rose and Jonathan Toews would increase those chances.
Here's the closest teams have come "

The sodium-dependent inorganic phosphate transporter NaPi-IIa is expressed in the kidney. Here, the authors used a polyclonal antiserum raised against NaPi-IIa- and NaPi-IIa-deficient mice to characterize its expression in nervous tissue. Western blots showed that a NaPi-IIa immunoreactive band (~90 kDa) was only present in wild-type kidney membranes and not in kidney knockout or wild-type brain membranes. In the water-soluble fraction of wild-type and knockout brains, another band (~50 kDa) was observed; this band was not detected in the kidney. Light and electron microscopic immunohistochemistry using the NaPi-IIa antibodies showed immunolabeling of kidney tubules in wild-type but not knockout mice. In the brain, labeling of presynaptic nerve terminals was present also in NaPi-IIa-deficient mice. This labeling pattern was also produced by the NaPi-IIa preimmune serum. The authors conclude that the polyclonal antiserum is specific toward NaPi-IIa in the kidney, but in the brain, immunolabeling is caused by a cross-reaction of the antiserum with an unknown cytosolic protein that is not present in the kidney. This tissue-specific cross-reactivity highlights a potential pitfall when validating antibody specificity using knockout mouse-derived tissue other than the specific tissue of interest and underlines the utility of specificity testing using preimmune sera.

College Hockey:Friend stops 17 as St. Cloud rocks Union
Toor notches goal, two assists as Huskies get first win of season
MINNEAPOLIS — The St. Cloud State Huskies came close to getting their first win of this campaign in game one; in game two, they accomplished that feat.
St. Cloud (1-1), led from the 13:30 mark of the opening period and came away with 4-1 victory over the Union Dutchwomen. The Huskies got goals from four different players, and Julie Friend made 17 stops in her first start in the SCSU net to earn the win.
"Good position to get a freshman in there in a situation like this in a rink she's probably pretty familiar with," Huskies coach Jeff Giesen said. "She's played a lot here over her high school career, so that was a good outing for her."
The Huskies endured some tense moments until sophomore Molli Mott slipped a puck under the glove of prone Union goalie Shenae Lundberg on the power play to gain some insurance for St. Cloud with a 3-1 lead midway through the final period.
"We've got a lot of people in that room that didn't get a win until February last year, so they're still squeezing the stick a little bit tight," Giesen said. "When it got to three to one, everybody goes now we can just play hockey, right, and I think that's what happened down the stretch there."
Jocelyn Zabrick put the game away when she scored an empty-net goal from her own zone with 1:41 remaining to seal the victory.
"I said we don't need a goal, we just need to chip it to the next zone, and she goes out there and goes for it," Giesen said. "Do what the coach didn't say, I guess."
Senior Brittany Toor gave the Huskies their first lead of the season, picking up a power-play rebound and sliding the puck between goaltender Lundberg's skate and the post.
"Lisa [Martinson] put a nice shot hard on goal and it just rebounded, and I turned around and just put it in the net," Toor said.
She also earned an assist when Alex Nelson deflected in a Martinson shot from the point to make it 2-0 for St. Cloud State. Toor finished with a goal and two assists on the day to lead the way.
Union (0-2) got a pair of odd-man rushes in quick succession, capitalizing on the second when Christine Valente finished off a two-on-one break with Bryanne Panchuk.
"After last year — we had a pretty bad year last year — we just got a little excited that we were up two nothing," Toor said. "Stuff like that is going to happen."
After that, Union couldn't get their chances to go.
"Last night was a better effort for us," Dutchwomen coach Claudia Asano Barcomb said. "Today was up and back, we battled, but our passing wasn't on. We had a tough day. Our second period was good, but our third wasn't."
Next week, Union takes on Sacred Heart.
"It will be a very different-paced game, but it will be challenging for us," Asano Barcomb said. "We've got to get three periods together."
The Huskies return to Ridder Arena for a WCHA series with Minnesota.

I have an Ubuntu-server 12.04LT-64x installed on VMware Player (I found VMWare works better than Virtualbox after few installations over vb).
My host computer is an Intel i3 with 6GB-RAM and windows-8 Pro 64x installed. To the guest I gave 3.5GB-RAM and 2Processors (connected to web via a bridge).
Right now php is really slow. I think I configured php pretty well:
- time limitation 60s
- 512mb Ram
- APC installed
But everything is slow. I found out that when using composer (php cli script) things are going really slow, so right now I suspect that this is the cause for it.
P.S I notice that when I doing
ping google.com its never stops.. so.. mybe it have any relation..

when it gets close (like tied at 23!) I wish we would switch and just focus on getting it in.

The most startling news released Friday about the Obama administration's mishandling of the American people's business is not Obamacare, Benghazi, "Fast and Furious" or even the IRS scandal.
It's the incurred debt this White House has "managed" to add to the U.S. government.
The statistics do not lie.
Since President Barack Obama took office on January 20, 2009, the debt has increased an incredible $6.666 trillion, according to the latest numbers released by the U.S. Treasury Department.
The total U.S. government debt before January 20, 2009 was $10,626,877,048,913.08, according to the Treasury Department's Bureau of the Public Debt.
As of Jan. 31, 2014, the latest day reported, the debt was $17,293,019,654,983.61. That is an increase of $6,666,142,606,070.53 since Obama's first inauguration.
The actual total debt of the United States did not exceed $6.666 trillion until July 2003. In a bit more than five years the Obama administration, the U.S. has accumulated as much new debt as it did in its first 227 years, according to CNS.
The numbers are mind-numbing to anyone paying attention.

Pteropus rufus
|Scientific Name:
|Pteropus rufus
|Species Authority:
|É. Geoffroy, 1803
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable A2acd ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Andriafidison, D, Cardiff, S.G., Goodman, S.M., Hutson, A.M., Jenkins, R.K.B., Kofoky, A.F., Rabearivelo, A., Racey, P.A., Ranivo, J., Ratrimomanarivo, F.H. & Razafimanahaka, H.J.
|Hutson, A.M., Racey, P.A. (Chiroptera Red List Authority) & Hoffmann, M. (Global Mammal Assessment Team)
This species is listed as Vulnerable based on the loss of over 30% of its population over the last 20 years. This can be attributed to the increased level of hunting particularly with the introduction of shotguns and continued loss of its preferred roosting habitats.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to Madagascar (Simmons 2005). It is one of the most widespread bat species on the island and appears to only be absent from the highly populated central highlands (MacKinnon et al. 2003). The highest density of roost sites is in coastal regions, especially from Morombe in the south-west to Antsiranana in the north (MacKinnon et al. 2003).
|Countries occurrence:
|Upper elevation limit (metres):
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|Roosts are conspicuous and noisy but the bats are often tightly clustered making abundance estimates at the larger sites difficult. MacKinnon et al. (2003) reported that colony size ranged from 10 to 5,000 animals with a median of 400. They found that nationally 17.5% of 154 roosts had been abandoned in the last ten years and desertion rates were much higher (70%) in the central highlands. The estimated national population size in 2000 was 300,000 (MacKinnon et al. 2003).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It roosts in a variety of different tree species where the bats hang on the outermost branches (MacKinnon et al. 2003; Jenkins et al. 2007a; Long and Racey 2007). Roosts are very rare inside intact forest and are usually found in forest fragments, small islands or mangroves (MacKinnon et al. 2003; Jenkins et al. 2007a; Rakotoarivelo and Randrianandriananina 2007). Occasionally, Eucalyptus plantations are also used (Jenkins et al. 2007a). The majority of roosts are in small areas of relatively degraded vegetation with a few large trees. Roosting bats are easily disturbed by people and cattle that venture near the roost and colonies readily take flight (MacKinnon et al. 2003). Once disturbed the bats may move to an alternative roost site in the vicinity and it appears that each colony requires more than one roost site as a response to disturbance but also maybe to shifting patterns of food availability (Jenkins et al. 2007a). This species can survive in heavily modified landscapes through feeding on a mixture of native and introduced plants (Raheriaisena 2005; Jenkins et al. 2007a; Long and Racey 2007). It is known to travel at least 17 km a night between roosting and foraging areas (Long 2002) and may actually regularly travel much further than this.
The diet consists predominantly of fruit juices which are squeezed from fruit in the mouth. Large quantities of seeds are accidentally ingested during feeding and are later dispersed at other foraging sites, during flight or at the roost. There is some evidence that seeds that have passed through the digestive tract of P. rufus incur a fitness advantage through increased germination success (Racey et al. in press). Other plants parts are also consumed, including flowers, nectar and leaves. In the south, nectar from introduced plants is an important dietary component throughout the year (Long and Racey 2007). Some plants have evolved to attract nocturnal mammals like bats as pollinators and P. rufus feeds non-destructively on the nectar of two threatened baobab species (Baum 1995; Andriafidison et al. 2006). Because of its ability to travel long distances and its capability as a seed disperser and pollinato,r P. rufus is widely believed to be a key species in fragmented forest ecosystems (Bollen and Van Elsacker 2002; Bollen et al. 2004).
|Major Threat(s):
|There are numerous threats to this species. It is listed as a game species under Malagasy law and can be legally hunted between May and August (Durbin 2007). Only the few roosts that are located in protected areas therefore receive some protection (Racey et al. in press). Pteropus rufus is hunted for food across Madagascar (MacKinnon et al. 2003; Rakotondravony 2006; Rakotonandrasana and Goodman 2007; Racey et al. in press) where it is an important subsistence food but also of commercial importance. Although quantitative data on the supply of P. rufus for food and the impact of this harvest on colonies/populations is lacking, there is some evidence that the offtake is locally unsustainable (Racey et al. in press). Hunting occurs at roost sites and where the bats forage, especially when they feed on trees in villages (Jenkins and Racey in press). There is evidence that P. rufus from Ile Sainte Marie is hunted commercially and frozen shipments are sent to the mainland port of Toamasina (Rakotonandrasana and Goodman 2007). The conversion of the forest used by roosting bats into agriculture is another threat to P. rufus and results in the permanent loss of suitable trees which in many cases have been used for decades. Pteropus rufus feeds on a number of cultivated fruits that have a high economic value in rural Madagascar and is often subjected to persecution.
|Conservation Actions:
|It is listed on CITES Appendix II and is a game species under Malagasy law (Durbin 2007) but neither of these provide any practical in situ conservation measures (Racey et al. in press). There are a few roosts in protected areas, notably Parc National Kirindy-Mité, Parc National de Masoala, Parc National de Mananara-nord (MacKinnon et al. 2003) and Berenty Private Reserve (Long 2002), but many of the existing parks and reserves appear to be without roosting colonies (e.g. Goodman 1996, 1999; Alonso et al. 2002; Goodman et al. 2005; Schmid and Alonso 2005). The ongoing process to triple the surface of protected areas in Madagascar is providing an unprecedented opportunity to include traditional roosts in the new conservation sites. There is also significant scope for local institutions to conserve roosts and this is already occurring in some parts of Madagascar where the bats use sacred forests (Jenkins et al. 2007b) or where communities have created social contracts to protect the bats (Jenkins et al. 2007a).

MBK-ING Deal Wins South Korean Approval
South Korea's financial regulator approved MBK Partners' purchase of ING Groep Korean life-insurance operations, the last hurdle for the $1.6 billion deal, almost four months after the agreement was made.
The Financial Services Commission decided to let a special-purpose company established by MBK buy some 8.2 million shares in ING Life Korea, according to a statement from the regulator Wednesday.
After two failed sales attempts in as many years, ING managed to close a deal with Seoul-based MBK Partners in late August. The Dutch bank will retain a 10% stake in ING Life Korea.
The process was a headache for ING, which has to sell half its global-life insurance business to meet the conditions of a 2008 bailout by the Dutch government. ING's only unsold business in Asia are its Japanese units.
ING's first attempt to sell its Korean insurer came last year, but the deal with Seoul-based banking giant KB Financial Group Inc. collapsed in December following fierce opposition by KB's nonexecutive directors.
Earlier this year ING held exclusive talks with a consortium consisting of Tongyang Life Insurance and local private-equity firm Vogo Fund—Tongyang Life's largest shareholder—but they also failed.

Each spring, elections are held to determine the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer for the La Pietra Student Council. In addition, each class elects two representatives to serve. The council is overseen by a faculty advisor, who is a liaison between the students and the faculty and administration. The Student Council spearheads many activities, including school dances, Big Sister/Little Sister activities, spirit week, and various community service projects.
With nearly 20 clubs to choose from, students are bound to find one (or more) that piques their interest. If not, they can start a new one. There are clubs that focus on community service, cultural activities, environmental concerns, literary interests, and health and wellness.
La Pietra Delegates represent the school at various events, both on campus and in the community. Among their key responsibilities are conducting campus tours, hosting School in Session visits, and volunteering at admissions open houses. In 2011-12, delegates also served as hosts for the Wahine Forum—an annual conference of female business leaders—and volunteered at the APEC summit. Delegates must apply to be part of the program and commit to participating in at least one event per year.
La Pietra's Peer Leaders are a group of young women who provide friendship and leadership to middle school advisory groups. Peer Leaders are women who take initiative as well as direction; are motivated, confident and service-oriented; and believe in the essential traits of integrity and honesty.
La Pietra's chapter of the National Honor Society coordinates numerous activities throughout the year, including a Diamond Head clean-up, a luncheon honoring volunteer parents, and peer tutoring on campus. Consideration for membership in the chapter is based upon Scholarship, Character, and Leadership/Service. Each member is selected by the Faculty Council based on the above criteria.
