PARIS -- CIES, The Food Business Forum, here will formally unveil later this month a food-safety initiative that will set voluntary standards for food products sourced by retailers around the world. The effort, which includes the participation of a large number of global food retailers, will go further than ever before in unifying food-safety standards for the international sourcing of products, said Richard Fedigan, president and chief executive officer of the global organization of ...

This is the latest installment of our monthly feature called, "Ask the AD." If you have questions for Saluki Director of Athletics Mario Moccia, feel free to submit them by e-mail.
E-Mail a question to Mario Moccia
Coach Hinson, when asked what kind of offense he will run, answers that he will run the Kansas offense. I, like most other fans, have no idea of what that means? Could you please explain in layman's terms what is the Kansas offense?
I spoke to Coach Hinson, and he explained that the Kansas offense is predicated upon getting the ball inside, and everything flows off of that. It could result in a shot in the paint or an opportunity for a ball screen on the perimeter. The key is having individuals who can make plays for their teammates that give you the best high-percentage shot.
I graduated high school in 2006 and it has always been a dream of mine to play college athletics. I am currently at a point in my life in which I would really like to give it one more shot. My golf game is at its highest levels that it has been my entire life and really feel I can do this. What can I do to be given a shot at the team and a possible scholarship?
I would encourage you, or any prospective walk-on candidate, to contact Saluki coaches directly by email or phone. You can find this information on the Staff Directory page of our official website www.siusalukis.com. Our coaches always appreciate interest in their program, including interest from non-traditional recruits, provided they are a good fit academically and athletically at SIU. Most of our programs also offer walk-on tryouts during the fall, so be sure to ask Leroy Newton, our men's golf coach, if he will be holding tryouts.
Will any of this year's football games be televised?
The MVFC package includes two broadcasts on Mediacom Cable (at Missouri State and at Illinois State), plus one game on ESPN3 (vs. Indiana State). In addition, Fox College Sports will televise the road game at North Dakota State as part of the Bisons' institutional package. Saluki Sports Properties is also working with WSIU-TV to determine what other games could be televised as part of our own institutional TV package, and we should have decisions soon.
What are your thoughts on the football team recruiting some players from Penn State?
That's a tough one. Although, it is within the rules as now defined by the NCAA, I have a hard time with this, philosophically. If a Penn State transfer wanted to come here, and if we had a pre-existing relationship with them or were recruiting them prior to their signing with Penn State, I would find it acceptable. Dale Lennon has the latitude to do what he thinks is best with his roster. I have issued no edicts on this and am just stating my personal opinion. Obviously, certain BCS programs will get the first pick of the blue-chip athletes due to their ability to transfer and not have to sit out a year. I do not think many of the top players will transfer to the FCS level for that reason. Practically speaking, I just don't think this will filter down to our level to a significant degree.

In the previous Examiner article, some responses were published that were given to Ms. Karaleigh Roe, the President of the Parent-Teacher Association at Sunnydale Elementary School in Lancaster, CA. Despite the fact that many children have been repeatedly sickened by toxic mold in the school, it's been like pulling teeth with a piece of cotton candy to get any adequate action taken by the school board and Public Health officials. Why they simply won't listen or even admit there is a problem is beyond any reasonable explanation.
Here, then, is yet another excerpt, given by Ms. Roe, which is so unbelievably ridiculous it's nearly laughable:
"We know that if you EAT alot of mold, you can get alot of health problems, no question about it. And that's where, if mold is toxic, it's when you eat it. Now normally, we dont find people going over to the wall, and when they see mold and start licking mold off the wall.
Yes, it has happened here or there, but in general we don't see that problem."
later on:
"Just because you find it growing on a wall, doesn't mean that your going to have necessarily extra health consequences. Unless you have a pre-existing illness."
"Again "toxic mold", I put that in quotation marks all the time, because toxic mold doesn't really exist.
All molds are the same."
.... "as far as your run of the mill student that is running around the school, no, we're not concerned of those kinds of issues because this is just a contact exposure that we worry about as far as the mold on the wall is concerned."
"mold is one of those issues where there is so, so much misinformation out there in the world regarding mold, so we want to make sure that people understand the proper scientific interpretations of mold and what it means when you see it, what it means in terms of potential threats to human health, uh, etc.
So that's our primary goal from the science perspective, so make sure that that's well understood. And we've seen, in the past we've seen countless, countless media reports that really botch the issue about toxic mold and what it means and where it comes from and what our interpretations are, and they usually, unfortunately get alot of their information from court cases that go on. And as we all know once these things hit court cases, science gets swept under the rug. And that's a big pet peeve of mine. So my goal is to make sure that we just adhere to strict scientific principals, that's my goal, that'll be my goal in terms of making sure that you get the right education you needed about this as well."
"There could be mold covering all the walls in here, and still we would get all the same symptoms ... coughs .. irritations, those kinds of things that would result from if there was a little bit of mold in the room. So when we are talking about the actual levels of mold it's not so much about the levels, it's more about how you're getting exposed to it. If you're going over to the wall, licking the mold off the wall and eating it that's a different story and there are a whole bunch of situations , uh, bad things that can happen to you if that were to occur.
But uh, that route of exposure, I'm pretty much presuming is not going on here. We're really just talking about inhaling the mold and mold byproducts. "
There was actually far more information from Ms. Roe's communication with the inspectors but unfortunately, there is not enough space available here to include this. Let it suffice to state, though, that if the matter were not so deleterious to the students' wellbeing, it would seem like the inspectors' remarks are downright ludicrous. Perhaps they can afford to shrug the contamination off so lightly, since they are not forced to occupy the building daily themselves. It's also highly unlikely they have any children attending Sunnydale, or they might be actually concerned themselves. Being removed from the situation on a personal level, of course, they can distance themselves from giving a rodent's posterior.
This fight is not over yet, far from it. It may take time, it will certainly take ongoing supreme efforts from the PTA and others with children's health at stake. Be assured, though, just as the mold will continue growing through paint trying to cover it up, the battle to overcome both the health dangers at this school and those denying their existence will not go away.

Equality Virginia last month released a scorecard listing where Virginia legislators stand when it comes to anti-LGBT discrimination. Among the specific items on which legislators were scored was whether or not they'd signed an Equality Virginia statement pledging not to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression in their office hiring.
That statement is similar to a proposed antidiscrimination state bill, SB701.
According to the scorecard, 17 of Virginia's 20 Democratic senators have pledged not to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Three remaining three – Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth, Surry, Sussex counties); Phil Puckett (D-Tazewell, Wise counties, Norton, Radford); and Minority Leader Dick Saslaw (D-Fairfax, Falls Church) – have issued statements supporting nondiscrimination, but did not specifically mention sexual orientation and gender identity.
Among Senate Republicans, five have made the nondiscrimination pledge; one offered a nonspecific pledge; and 14 have not issued any statements on the issue.
The House of Delegates remains largely opposed to such protections, though the minority Democrats are overwhelmingly in favor of the protections. Among Democrats, 25 of 31 delegates support nondiscrimination protections for LGBT people; three have issued generic statements promising they will not discriminate in hiring; and three others – Luke Torian (D-Prince William Co.), Roslyn Tyler (D-Greensville, Dinwiddie counties, Emporia, Franklin) and Kenneth James (D-Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth) – refused to issue any statement opposing discrimination.
Among House Republicans, 10 of 67 issued made the specific pledge; 10 issued generic nondiscrimination statements; and 47 declined to support nondiscrimination. The chamber's sole independent, Lacey Putney (Bedford, Allegheny counties) also issued a nonspecific nondiscrimination statement.

Chat with Jerry Cantrell
Welcome to SportsNation! On Thursday, fantasy football stud and Alice in Chains co-founder, Jerry Cantrell, stops by to chat about his music career as well as the "Alice in Chains & Friends Fantasy Football Charity League II," which features some of rock music's biggest stars.
Former NFL player turned actor Matt Willig won the inaugural event and Cantrell is set on claiming the title this year not only for bragging rights but because the league winner's charity receives proceeds of an auction of items donated by the league owners. Meat Loaf, Duff McKagan, ESPN's Jay Harris and several others round out the league.
Raised on country music, Cantrell's sound was shaped by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath, leading to him co-founding one of the seminal rock bands of the 1990s. Alice in Chains went on hiatus for several years in the late '90s, during which time Cantrell released a pair of critically acclaimed solo albums, before the group reformed in 2005.
Send your questions now and join Cantrell Thursday at 5 p.m. ET!

Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell will be here in minutes to chat music and fantasy football!
carlos sobarzo (chile)
where you extract inspiration to create your songs, melodies, riffs, lirics??
Jerry Cantrell (5:02 PM)
We've been doing it for a long time and everybody starts emulating their heros. I'm no different than anybody else. Eventually you find your own voice and we did that as the band. It's trial and error, the influences that you grew up on. And I had a lot of classes in school that was music based. I think that had an influence too.
David (Washington)
What was your best draft pick?
Jerry Cantrell (5:03 PM)
It's tough. Picking in the later rounds, it's always tough. I think I'm glad I grabbed Andre Johnson, even though he's injured. I'm happy with my team. My WR core, I was worried about, but they've come around. Even though the Cowboys are having a bad year, Romo is having a good stat year. My best pick? Probably my waiver wire moves.
Maurício (Brazil)
Hi Jerry, how are you. I'm a fan from Brazil. Do you plan a tour in Latin America with AIC next year? =)
Jerry Cantrell (5:04 PM)
We were very very close to coming this year and the only thing that kept us from coming was that we couldn't make it work financially. It's a real big effort for us to bring the people we need to make our show. We want to get back there, but it quite didn't make sense for us to get back down there. Being in a band, we're investing in ourselves all the time. Luckily the fans have been there for us, when we've gone to Australia and things.
Phil (Boston)
How much trash talking goes on during the week between you and the guys in the league?
Jerry Cantrell (5:06 PM)
Not as much as I would like. I'll call a couple of guys out right now. They're wussies. Jay Harris, being one of them. He hasn't said one peep. He hasn't commented on anything and I've been throwing stuff at him. He hasn't been a presence. I'm calling you out Jay Harris. You need to talk, even though you're getting hit around. Meat Loaf, what the hell? Nothing from you either. He's a musician, so maybe he's too good for us. Scott's weighed in. Willig is having a hard time, but he's still talking.
diego alberto arenas (chile )
how much hours were you practising with the guitar when you were in the school???
Jerry Cantrell (5:07 PM)
Until I passed out, basically. I would spend hours and hours in my room by myself. When I first started playing, my mother and grandmother, who raised me, were very musical. They liked that I was into music. I locked myself in my room with a radio and guitar and after a while they started to get worried about me. They just figured I that I found something I liked and they supported me. I had a guitar with only two strings on it and she took me to the store to get some pegs.
Noah (North Hollywood)
Jerry! Great show the other night at the Gibson Ampetheater! Do you see yourself continuing performing live in the future? You looked pretty comfortable on stage.
Jerry Cantrell (5:09 PM)
Oh yeah. We've been working only 5 years now. It's been a full time job to get the band back to where we want to see it. It took a lot of work from our end. We had a lot of stuff to work through. It's almost impossible to pull off what we did to move on without losing your identity after losing your best friend. A lot of stuff happened. I'm just really proud of everybody. And grateful.
raul (walla walla,wa.) [via mobile]
Saw u in portland last saturday. Amazing again! Where did u find william duvall? Love his voice. Do all the AIC guys play fantasy? RIP layne
Jerry Cantrell (5:10 PM)
Mike and I play. The other two don't care about it. Mike and I are heavy into it. I met William in LA in 2000. I was working on a record for 2002 and we did some jamming together. I kind of absorbed his band into mine. We went out on tour, so we have a history together. When we started hanging out more as a band, I thought he would be a guy to have around.
Brenno (Brazil)
Does Alice in Chains plan to record a new album or it's too early to say something?
Jerry Cantrell (5:12 PM)
I think it's too early to say. I wouldn't say that we wouldn't. That definitely would happen more than it wouldn't. But I know from experience that it's better not to say something until there's something to say. But a lot of work has been done. It's been 5 years to get to this point to get to the end of this tour. But it takes it out of you. Anyone would need some time to recoup. We won't talk about it until next year. We deserve some time off.
Noah (North Hollywood)
How is the tour going for you? What's it like to tour with the Deftones?
Jerry Cantrell (5:13 PM)
The tour couldn't have gone any better than it did. We surpassed all of our expectations and went far beyond them. And we've had two bands we really admire with us. We wanted to do this final leg of the tour with some friends of ours and have three different musical flavors. It's a pleasure touring with them.
Gaël (pronounced 'Gail') (Brussels, Belgium)
How big a role do you have in the writing of vocal lines and lyrics? Do (most of) your songs have a vocal line when you present them to the band? Thanks
Jerry Cantrell (5:14 PM)
We've always credited our writings, so it's all there in the records. Being in a band is a really interesting thing. There are talented individuals and how they work together as a team can change. I've been lucky enough to have been one of the main song writers in the band for many years. I take pride in that. It's a team.
Carl Roberts III (Nashville, TN)
Hi Jerry, I'm a huge fan of your solo work. Any chance of seeing any new solo material in the future?
Jerry Cantrell (5:15 PM)
Not for a while. My first and foremost love has been this band and always has been. THe only reason I did those two records is because we weren't working as a band. But being a part of this band is a full time job. Some guys can do multiple things and maybe when I was younger I could do that, but not now.
Gaël (pronounced 'Gail') (Brussels, Belgium)
Hey Jerry, could you tell us some funny Layne stories, I'm sure we'd all like to hear some! Thanks
Jerry Cantrell (5:17 PM)
There's too many to pick from. I think a lot of people miss, and unfortunately a lot of people only know him because of how it ended for him and that tag gets put on him. What doesn't get written is that he was a sweatheart of a person. He was really sharp and witty. He was always up for a good joke.
John-linkous (France)
Hello Jerry , when the DVD of the Seattle performance will be released ?
Jerry Cantrell (5:18 PM)
We filmed the show, so I imagined something will happen with that. I haven't seen the footage yet, and it was cool to do it in our hometown. They wanted to do something with the band. They talked to us about doing it and we did it on the tour. I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.
john (Florida)
How will you celebrate it? (if you win this year)?)
Jerry Cantrell (5:20 PM)
I will call everybody and rub it in their face until we play the next season. I will gloat endlessly. It's fun. I've been playing fantasy football for 5 years. It's been something cool to do on the road. Having your slingbox hooked up so you can see the games when you're in Europe. It gives you something to concentrate on during the travel. The shows are great, but the time inbetween can be mindnumbing. I've only won one year. I would love to be the champ again. More importantly, it's pretty much about playing. I just missed the playoffs last year. The cool thing about the league is we get to have fun, we get to have our friends together and raise money for charity.
Jerry Cantrell (5:21 PM)
We've had a really good tour. It's been great having you guys out there supporting us. Seeing you in every town all over the world has been great. The future looks bright and the world is what you make of it. Just because you take some losses in life, doesn't mean it's over.
Buzzmaster (5:21 PM)

TV Watch Bachelor Pad
It's been a very Kimye weekend here at PEOPLE, so you'll be forgiven for missing out on the other celebrity news that had us buzzing.
Another member of the Bachelor family is officially off the market.
Gia Allemand was laid to rest Thursday morning in Manhattan.
On a side street in the Chelsea neighborhood, a group of close friends and family began to gather in the rain outside the Trinity Grace Church, preparing to say goodbye to the beloved Bachelor contestant, who died in a suicide earlier this month.
Waiting photographers snapped pictures as a car pulled up to the curb outside, which was lined with floral bouquets. The sight of a large sign that read "Gia" in flowers prompted some mourners to break down in tears.
Allemand's boyfriend, basketball player Ryan Anderson, was one of the last to arrive. He entered the church with Allemand's family, remaining stony-faced as pallbearers carried the coffin inside. Once inside, he sat in the front row, as did Allemand's mother, Donna Micheletti.

Hours before she hanged herself Aug. 12 with a vacuum cleaner cord, Gia Allemand argued with boyfriend Ryan Anderson over her suspicions he'd been unfaithful, according to a police report.
As Anderson dropped Allemand off at her New Orleans apartment, she told him that she still loved him; he replied, "I don't love you anymore," according to Anderson's statement to police.
Two hours later, Anderson – summoned to Allemand's apartment by her concerned mother – found Allemand hanging, according to the police report obtained by E! and TMZ.

Being a contestant on The Bachelor means being wooed by a handsome man on extravagant dates in exotic locations, a televised pursuit of everlasting love that brings joy – but also for many, very public heartbreak.
Gia Allemand, who vied for Jake Pavelka's affection on season 14 of the show, "was fully capable of handling it," says former Bachelor and Bachelor Pad contestant Michelle Money, who saw Allemand on August 5 in New York. "It's so sad to think looking at her in New York, I thought she was okay. But now I look back and think, wow, is there something I could have done or said?"
Engineer Mike Simpson was heading down to the pool in his New Orleans apartment complex on Monday when he heard a loud, high-pitched bellowing from the hall.
"I thought I heard someone calling for help, so I sprinted down there," Simpson tells PEOPLE. "I pushed the door open and saw a guy bear-hugging someone to his chest."
NBA player Ryan Anderson had just arrived back at his girlfriend Gia Allemand's apartment and found her hanging from a metal staircase by the door.
Donna Micheletti, mother of Gia Allemand, issued an official statement Friday morning to set the record straight about theories and remarks that have come out about her late daughter.
Released through a media representative, Micheletti's statement said, "The family and close friends of Gia Allemand have not spoken to the media to date, nor have they posted comments or insight on Twitter. There are numerous statements and theories in the media regarding Gia's death and her life that refer to sources close to Gia or friends of hers."

Evident by the outpouring of heartbreaking Tweets from past and present members of The Bachelor franchise, season 14's Gia Allemand, 29, was a beloved contestant.
Remembered for her long, brown locks, carefree personality and fit physique, the third finalist in Jake Pavelka's season died of an apparent suicide on Wednesday after being hospitalized in critical condition on Monday night, following a "serious emergency medical event," ABC said.
While Allemand's death is a tragedy, her life can be remembered in notable TV clips during her time in the reality TV spotlight. Here are five of the New Yorker's most memorable on-camera moments:

NBA player Ryan Anderson, who discovered girlfriend Gia Allemand after her apparent suicide attempt, issued a statement Wednesday mourning the loss of The Bachelor starlet.
"I'm deeply grateful for all the love and support we have received from family, friends and fans," says Anderson. "Gia was the most beautiful person I knew inside and out and she always smiled and made everyone else around her smile."
"She had such an amazing impact on my life and anyone that knew her was blessed. All I have left is to cherish those memories we made together and help perpetuate the many values, faith and love that we shared."

Jake Pavelka had to pull his car over to the side of the road because he couldn't stop crying when he learned castmate Gia Allemand had died.
Allemand, who was taken off life support Wednesday after an apparent suicide attempt, was "an angel," he tells PEOPLE.
"I am in complete shock and devastated to hear the news about Gia," says Pavelka, who romanced Allemand, 29, on season 14 of The Bachelor. "She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. And a very dear friend. My heart goes out to her family during this very difficult time. We have lost an angel today."

Excellent Flat Iron For $40!I'm a hair stylist. Yesterday, I decided to take a trip to Target for laundry detergent and there award winning Rice Crispy treats at the cafe, (Delicious) Anyway, I decided to take a detour through the Hair care section to see whatâ??s new and check out their Flat Irons. One in particular I remembered that was highly reviewed was the Remington Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Iron! I promised I would treat myself to this Iron very soon because my weave clients keep demanding straight! Straight! Straight Hair! A great price at $49.99, but then I glanced right next to it and found the New Conair Infinity Oil infused Ceramic Flat Iron that reaches an astonishing 455 degrees! At $39.99 I figured I'd give it a shot. Plus I'd use the extra ten dollars for bleach and softener! That evening I tried the iron on one of my African American Clients who has quite a bit of long thick fantastic bushy coarse Un-relaxed hair! I was amazed that after washing and conditioning (with Silicon Mix) I was able to run a quick pass of the Conair Iron through the client's and end up with silk! Super Straight, Super Hot. Super Flat and Very shiny Hair! I'm sold!

Artificial Sweeteners Bad Or Good
There are many artificial sweeteners created in recent history. You may be acquainted with some such as Splenda, Sweet-N-Low and others.
They use ingredients like sucralose and aspartame. These are man made substances.
|artificial sweeteners bad effects
Splenda is made from a sugar spin off called sucralose. It is a non-calorie sweetener and is not recognized by the body as sugar. The chemical structure of sucralose is terribly different from sugar and isn't metabolized.
Research with animals has shown that sucralose causes several problems together with reduced growth of newborns and adults. Different problems could develop like enlarged colon, liver, brain and kidneys. Also, shrunken ovaries and increased cataracts.There are several other issues moreover from using artificial sweeteners.The FDA and McNeil report have downplayed these findings.
Nutritional consultants believe artificial sweeteners don't have any positive results on an individuals health. One reason is that they evoke a craving for sweets.
Users of artificial sweeteners sometimes end up eating an excessive amount of food loaded with regular sugar negating any positive effects. Additionally, artificial sweeteners can cause serious distortion in your biochemistry.
Artificial sweeteners are potential toxic substances and could increase appetite. Even death has been reported from their use.They will lead to health issues such as birth defects, brain cancer, diabetes, emotional disorders and seizures.The public does not hear an excessive amount of about these problems so folks are unaware.The news doesn't report on this subject t often. They would rather report dramatic and instants news.The negative results from artificial sweeteners sometimes happen over time thus the user aren't invariably aware of the source of their issues. Diet sodas may double your risk of obesity by increasing weight later in life.These users could suppose it's OK to eat high-calorie foods since they are drinking diet soda.You have to use your head and trust nature. If something is artificial, why would you consume it?
Studies show that artificial sweeteners don't usually work and they're probably dangerous.
Just don't use them.

My Netflix Player is connected via Ethernet to a DL601 router, this in turn is connected to my Xyzel DSL modem. The DL601 maintains our PPPOE connection to our ISP.
Everytime we watch a movie, if we leave the Netflix player in the Main Screen, after some period of time our DSL Modem locks up. We lose our internet connection. Resetting the Xyzel modem restores the connection.
The only possible theory I can come up for this is that the Netflix Player is somehow logging us out of our PPPOE connection, or that Our ISP's DSL equipment is disconnecting us for some unknown reason.
Someday soon, I am going to try to get a Wireshark capture of the traffic between the DSL Modem and the DL601 Router.

Welcome to AEMO's portal for new network connections and alterations to connected generating systems
AEMO defines network connections as connections to the electricity networks that support the NEM (National Electricity Market).
This portal provides information on new connections of generating systems to transmission and distribution networks, and alterations to generating systems.
Network connections also encompass:
For enquiries regarding any of these connections, please contact AEMO.
The connection process varies by:
For assistance in identifying the applicable connection process, please contact AEMO.
AEMO's Role in Generator Connections
For generator transmission connections (i.e. typically greater than 30 MW in capacity) in Victoria, AEMO is involved in all stages of the connection process, from pre-feasibility to completion.
For generator transmission connections in the NEM outside Victoria, the connecting TNSP manages the connection process and is the main point of contact for the connection applicant. For generator distribution connections in the NEM (i.e. embedded generation and typically connections less than 30 MW in capacity), the connecting DNSP (distribution network service provider) manages the connection process and is the main point of contact for the connection applicant. For these connections, AEMO is involved in the following stages of the process:
For distribution connections with a capacity of less than 5 MW anywhere in the NEM, connection applicants will not be required to go through the connection process prescribed in Chapter 5 of the National Electricity Rules (Rules), but may have obligations placed on them by their connecting DNSP. For distribution connections between 5 MW and 30 MW in capacity, applicants will be required to go through the prescribed connection process; however, data and modelling requirements may be reduced.
The extent to which stages of the new connections process apply to alterations to connected generating systems, as well as AEMO's involvement, depend on the nature of the alterations. Clause 5.3.9 of the Rules provides further guidance.
New generator connections to the Victorian transmission system, in particular the 220kV lines between BATS -WBTS-HOTS and HOTS-RCTS
Please note the Q and A that has been developed to provide further information on the potential overloading of transmission lines in this area.

The Epigenetics Field Is Granular and...
Focused Genetic Analyses Seek To Improve...
Researchers from Mayo Clinic and Centre de Recherche en Cancérologie de Marseille have discovered the mechanisms behind two checkpoints in cell growth and development and tumor progession. They report that a protein called Erbin along with tumor suppressor Merlin control the activation of PAK2 in epithelial cells.
PAK2 is a downstream component of TGF-ß signaling and a target for cancer growth and fibrotic tissue development. In epithelial cells, however, TGF-ß is unable to activate PAK2. "We decided to look at the factors that prevented PAK2 activation in epithelial cells," explains Edward Leof, Ph.D., a Mayo Clinic biochemist who led the study, which appears in Developmental Cell. The paper is called "Erbin and the NF2 Tumor Suppressor Merlin Cooperatively Regulate Cell-Type-Specific Activation of PAK2 by TGF-ß."
The scientists found that Erbin controls Merlin, and when Merlin is absent or mutated, the result is schwannoma, a form of tumor involving Schwann cells, which make up the myelin sheath that covers nerves. Merlin has also reportedly been shown to play a part in causing melanoma, mesothelioma, and possibly colorectal cancers.
Additionally, the researchers showed that in epithelial cells, which have high levels of Erbin, the formation of an Erbin/Merlin complex prevents PAK2 activity following growth factor stimulation. In the absence of Erbin or Merlin, however, TGF-ß stimulates PAK2 activity in some epithelia, overcoming a critical checkpoint in tumor progression.

Novartis reported positive data from a Phase III study comparing its somatostatin analog (SSA) pasireotide LAR (long-acting release) with its existing therapy Sandostatin LAR (ocreotide/IM injection) in acromegaly patients. Data from the 358-patient Passport-Acromegaly study showed that 31.3% of pasireotide LAR-treated patients exhibited full disease control (measured as a combination of growth hormone levels and age/sex-matched IGF-1 levels), compared with 19.2% of Sandostatin LAR-treated patients.
Pasireotide LAR is a multireceptor targeting SSA that binds with high affinity to four of the five somatostatin receptor subtypes (sst 1, 2, 3, and 5). On April 25 the EC approved a subcutaneous formulation of pasireotide, trade-named Signifor®, for the treatment of Cushing disease in adult patients who either aren't suitable for or have failed surgery. Additional regulatory submissions for the Cushing disease indication are in progress worldwide.

Legendary long-time basketball coach Dr. Jack Ramsay died after a decade-long battle with cancer at the age of 89 late Sunday night.
While Ramsay was more well-known for both coaching the Portland Trail Blazers to the 1977 NBA title as well as his NBA commentary for ESPN, the legendary coach played his college ball at Saint Joseph's while he also led the Hawks to their only Final Four appearance in school history as coach in 1961.
Ramsay was an impressive 234-72 in his eleven years on Hawk Hill and quite rightly has been honored by the University as a member of the school's athletics Hall of Fame as well as its Basketball Hall of Fame. Furthermore, the Ramsay Center, home to the offices, locker rooms, study spaces and film rooms of the Saint Joseph's men's and women's basketball teams, was named in his honor in 2009.
Ramsay also was the guide for five eventual NBA head coaches during his time at Saint Joseph's as Matt Goukas, Jim Lynam, Jack McKinney, Jim O'Brien and Paul Westhead all wound up becoming head coaches at the professional level after working under Ramsay's tutelage.
Ramsay was known as a fitness freak and he brought many of those traits into coaching with his emphasis on running and ball movement becoming paramount to his success at both the collegiate and professional level.
After his coaching career, Ramsay was a color commentator for the Philadelphia 76ers as well as the Miami Heat while also gaining a national audience working for ESPN.
Despite being diagnosed with melanoma in 2004 and fighting through many tumors and other forms of cancer, Ramsay continued to broadcast playoff games for ESPN Radio through last season.
Ramsay was a hit as a broadcaster as he was able to relate both the casual fan as well as the die-hard fan who has intricate knowledge of the game. It is hard to imagine listening to a game with Ramsay on the call without learning something.
At a time where basketball is being overshadowed by the ramblings of Donald Sterling, it is important that the legacy of Dr. Jack Ramsay is not similarly overshadowed.
Ramsay was a picture of all that was right with basketball as he won with dignity and grace, while gracing us with his presence in the broadcast booth long after his coaching career ended.
Dr. Jack Ramsay was a legend who will be missed, not only by the Saint Joseph's University community, but the basketball community as a whole.

Cardiff Educational Research Group (CERG)
Cardiff University has strong profile in educational research. During the last five years alone we have attracted over £2.500,000 in external funding for educational research from the ESRC, major national charities and other funding bodies. In the past, educational researchers at Cardiff were dispersed across more than one department. The creation of the new School of Social Sciences has now brought these researchers together to work on a broad range of educational issues. The majority of educational research within the School takes place within CCER though other research centres (SKIP and CREST) also have an educational dimension to their work. Educational research within the CCER has the following distinctive features:
Education is a Lifelong Process
We see learning as taking place in a variety of social contexts; in schools, colleges and universities certainly, but also within families, work-places and wider community settings.
Education Can Not be Divorced From Society
We believe that educational change needs to be understood in relation to other elements of the social structure, such as families, labour markets and political and cultural institutions. We are committed to taking a leading role in the new generation of educational research, which explores the relationship between processes of learning and other dimensions of individual and social life.
Educational Research Needs an Inter-disciplinary, Social Scientific Framework
A key aim of the new School is to foster high quality, inter-disciplinary social scientific research and this aim provides an important context for our educational research. An inter-disciplinary approach, we believe, is vital for theory-building, and for the development of policy and professional practice.
Educational Research Needs High Quality Methodologies
Developing, applying and providing training in rigorous research methodologies is central to the school's mission and colleagues working within the field of education have international reputations for their developmental work in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.

Samsung Galaxy Note may be launched by Verizon and Sprint as the Galaxy Journal
The Samsung Galaxy Note was announced by AT&T for the American market a few days ago during CES. Naturally then if you're an AT&T customer and crave this phone/tablet hybrid, you'll be anxiously awaiting its release.
But what to do if your carrier of choice is Verizon, or even Sprint? Well, up until now you pretty much had to get used to the fact that you won't ever be able to buy a Galaxy Note. However, that may not be true.
An analyst chimed in on the issue, and got quoted saying that the Galaxy Note is definitely headed to Sprint and Verizon as well. But, get this, it will be launched under a different name. The Samsung Galaxy Journal may be what it ends up being called. But it's surely going to be in Verizon and Sprint stores in the first half of this year.
Now you should be wary of anything an analyst says. So be wary of this. Treat it as a rumor, and don't run to your nearest Verizon or Sprint store to get in line for a Galaxy Note/Journal just yet. If this is in fact true, expect many more details to leak out slowly over the next few months.

(BlackDoctor.org) — Some children are always out of control. Sometimes it's naughty behavior, sometimes it's the result of poor parenting…but sometimes, out-of-control behavior is caused by a mental health disorder known as ADHD.
ADHD Symptoms
While bad behavior often accompanies other symptoms of ADHD, bad behavior in isolation is not ADHD. Children with ADHD simply cannot contain their impulses and active behavior like other kids, and these symptoms sometimes resemble bad behavior:
1. Inattention — daydreaming, lack of organization, inability to start or stick with routine tasks
2. Impulsivity — saying and doing things that are inappropriate (interrupting, being disruptive) on a regular basis
3. Hyperactivity — fidgeting, needing to move around, talking excessively
Distinguishing ADHD from bad behavior can be difficult because not only do the symptoms resemble bad behavior, but they can also lead to bad behavior.
Step Back and Observe
Parents should begin observation of their child's behavior first. To tell the difference between bad behavior and ADHD, observe behavior over time and in different situations such as at home, at school, at a park, at the movies, and at the dinner table. If the behaviors persist over six months and across settings, it could be ADHD.
But it's important to note that there are 18 criteria for a professional ADHD diagnosis, and none of them are about bad behavior. The most common reason for bad behavior in school is a learning style mismatch between the teacher and the student. 70 percent of those labeled with ADHD are misdiagnosed. If your child is able to follow directions and stay on task at home but not at school, then the issue is the school environment, not the child.

I have a computer with a video card that has no Linux support. I discovered this issue while trying to use a persistent usb to boot from.
I found that I can boot like that if I change options and edit so as to add
nomodeset there (see question and answer).
Also, editing the syslinux.cfg file from my live persistent USB and adding
nomodeset in a line there made this setting automatic for booting from the persistent USB.
Can I make a similar edit for proper install from the same live USB?
Is it possible to edit something on the live USB in order to install the SO from it, -- that is: having automatically the
nomodeset setting already there when the installation starts?
My problem is that in order to install I think I already have to have added
nomodeset or I'll see nothing on my display. I need a way to be sure that
nomodeset it's permanent from the start.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers have developed one of the better secondaries in the Big Ten. They have a deep group of young and talented defensive backs.
The Gophers lost fourth round NFL draft pick Brock Vereen from last season's team, but junior Damarius Travis is ready to step in this season.
The other three defensive backs are returning starters. Junior Eric Murray is one of the best cover cornerbacks in the country. He shut down some of the best receivers in the conference. Playing opposite him is senior Derrick Wells. He is a playmaker that has battled injuries the last couple seasons. The other starting safety is senior Cedric Thompson. He finished last season as the team's leading tackler.
The second unit will be strong as well with redshirt junior Briean Boddy-Calhoun at one corner spot. He opened last season as a starter before a knee injury ended his season during the second game of the season. Jalen Myrick will man the other cornerback spot on the second unit. He may be the fastest player on the team. The safeties are junior Antonio Johnson and senior Grayson Levine. Levine has been a special teams standout. Johnson has return ability and will likely move into the starting lineup next season.
Senior Marcus Jones and true freshman Craig James highlight the third unit. Jones is one of the better kick and punt returners in the conference. James was a sprinting champion in high school in Illinois. Also on the third unit will likely be redshirt freshman Daletavious McGhee and redshirt junior Steven Montgomery. Montgomery is a heavy-hitter that contributes on special teams. McGhee is a tall, lanky prospect that should make his first impact this season.
The other defensive backs on the roster are young walk-on players. Redshirt sophomores Cavonte Johnson and John McKelvey are the veterans of the group. Redshirt freshmen Adekunle Ayinde and Alexander Starks could get some playing time this season. True freshman Davis Anderson may be the most talented of the bunch, but he is likely to redshirt this season.

The coach of Portland Thorns FC was excited that Tina Ellertson was available when it was finally Portland's turn to participate in Thursday's National Women's Soccer League supplemental draft.
But it's uncertain whether Ellertson will play this season for Thorns FC. A tweet from her Twitter account early this week indicated she would not play pro soccer this season. Ellertson could not be reached for comment on Thursday.
A 2000 graduate of Hudson's Bay High School, Ellertson lives in Vancouver and is a coaching director for the F.C. Salmon Creek youth soccer club.
Thursday's supplemental draft was another opportunity for NWSL teams to add players. The new league previously assigned national team players to rosters, held a college draft, and given teams the chance to sign four or five free agents.
Because Ellertson was not signed prior to Thursday, she was included in the supplemental draft pool. Portland had the eighth pick of the first round, meaning Ellertson had to hope none of the other teams selected her ahead of the Thorns' turn.
"She's an outstanding defender who can play on the outside or in the middle. And she's extremely fast," Thorns coach Cindy Parlow Cone said.
Parlow Cone also cited Ellertson's experience, technical skill and tactical understanding as reasons she was a good pick.
Ellertson, 30, was a defender for the United States' women's national team from 2005-08, playing in 34 games including two during the 2007 Women's World Cup in China. From 2009-11 she played in Women's Pro Soccer for St. Louis, Atlanta and magicJack.
Ellertson was the first of five selections by the Thorns FC in Thursday's draft. Portland also selected University of Portland midfielder Angie Kerr, former women's U-23 national team forward Michele Weissenhofer, former national team defender Marian Dalmy and former University of Connecticut forward Jessica Shufelt.
On Wednesday, Thorns FC announced it signed four players with youth international experience: midfielders Becky Edwards, Allie Longand Nikki Washington and defender Nikki Marshall.
Thorns FC have 20 players on the roster. Parlow Cone said the team plans to sign several more players ahead of the beginning of practices. Thorns FC training camp will begin on March 11. The 22-game schedule will begin on April 13, though the schedule has not yet been released.
Timbers wrap up Tucson camp
The Portland Timbers on Friday will conclude a 12-day training camp in Tucson, Ariz., with a match against host FC Tucson of the Premier Development League. The 10 a.m. match will not be streamed live on the Internet. The Timbers return to Portland following the match. Their preseason schedule will wrap up with matches at Jeld-Wen Field on Feb. 17 (San Jose), Feb. 20 (F.C. Dallas) and Feb. 23 (AIK of Sweden). The regular season opener is March 3 at Jeld-Wen Field against New York.
• Timbers sign draft pick — The Timbers have signed central defender Dylan Tucker-Gangnes, the team's recent pick in the MLS SuperDraft and former Washington Husky.

Harry Potter author J K Rowling has signed up with a new publisher
Her Harry Potter books have sold millions of copies around the world and lead to a series of blockbuster films, but now author J K Rowling is to turn her hand to writing for adults.
Her new publisher Little, Brown is keeping the title, the worldwide publication date and any further details about the novel under wraps until later in the year.
Rowling said the new book would be "very different" to her series about the boy wizard, which was published by Bloomsbury. "The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry's success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher," she said.
It had been rumoured for some time that Rowling was working on a crime novel set in Edinburgh.
Rowling's final book in the Potter saga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Bloomsbury), sold 2.6m copies in just 24 hours on publication.

MSU spokesman Kent Cassella last week defended the university's new health care policy, noting it is a national standard as outlined by the American College Health Association.
"MSU has adopted this standard as part of our long-term dedication to student health and wellbeing," he said. "The vast majority of our students, more than 90 percent, come to MSU with health insurance. For those few that do not, currently about 790 students, we are directly contacting them in getting appropriate insurance."
MSU joins the universities of Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota, as well as Northwestern University and Ohio State University as the sixth Big Ten institution to require health insurance, according to Cassella.

Brief introduction to the scenic spot:
It is the residence of Lu, who is the distinguished family in Wuzhou. Lu's Residence is a multi-linearity building. Among all buildings, the main one is Building "Suyongtang", which is located at the north street. It parallels with Building "Shidetang" and "Dafudi" to the east, parallels with the east, middle and west axis of "Shijinqidi" to the west, Building"Wutaitang" to the north. At the south street, there are Building "Zhushidi", "Wuyuntang", "Bingyutang". Many of buildings were built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Building "Suyongtang" is the public hall for the whole family of Lu. It is the main axis at Lu residence, therefore, the scale and position of "Suyongtang" tops No. one among those of Lu residence. There are three main rooms at Building "Suyongtang", also with one small room at the right and left respectively. "Songyongtang" was built with high-quality wood, exquisite carvings, which greatly shows the excellent wooden carving skill in Dongyang. Lu's Residence is one of the largest-scale ancient buildings of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1616-1911) Dynasties in Zhejiang province.

One of the most successful films of 2013 was the Disney film "Frozen," a computer-animated musical which won the Oscar for Best Animated Film. Young girls have embraced the feisty heroines of the movie, but you do not have to be a female below the age of 12 to enjoy the first-rate storytelling that undergirds the film. Another recent computer-animated musical made by Disney is "Tangled," which came out in 2010. Like "Frozen," it conveys a solid narrative with complex characters as interesting as ones in many live-action movies.
"Tangled" tells a modified version of the German fairy tale of Rapunzel. In this version, she is born to a king and queen, but as a baby, she was abducted by the evil Mother Gothel (voiced by Donna Murphy), who took her into the woods and raised her. She did this because Rapunzel's hair has magical powers which she uses to make herself appear younger. As a young woman (voiced by Mandy Moore), her hair is now extremely long. While Mother Gothel is out of town, she meets Flynn Rider (voiced by Zachary Levi), a bandit who agrees to take her to see floating lights which she has seen every year on her birthday. On their adventure, Rapunzel learns a lot about her past.
"Tangled" has a great cast of characters. Mandy Moore is excellent as Rapunzel, who is tough and desperate to see the floating lights. Flynn is very funny since he is in love with himself. He is played well by Zachary Levi. As Mother Gothel, Donna Murphy makes a great villain. Another memorable character is Maximus, a silent horse who hates Flynn at first, but grows to like him.
The musical numbers in the film are very well-done. One memorable number is set in a bar. Here, Rapunzel and Flynn meet a lot of colorful characters. This scene is very amusing.
"Tangled" is a great choice for fans of musicals or animated films.

Nokia E71x on Sale at AT&T Now
Are you dreaming? Nope. We'll pinch you if you still don't believe us; that's right folks, the Nokia E71x is no longer a fantasy, as it is now officially on AT&T's website for sale now.
It's been a long time coming, so we're happy to hear the news. And the specs of this particular phone were worth the wait, considering it has GPS, WiFi and 3.2 MP camera on a smartphone that costs only $99.99 after mail-in rebate.
The only thing that will take some getting used to is Symbian S60, but it's hard to turn down such a rich feature package.
Now that the wait is over, are you going to get the E71x? After playing with it on a couple different occasions I have come out quite impressed by the phone. Great features and small phone with an easy-to-use QWERTY.
Let us know what you think in our comments section.
