Need to brush up on your math skills or prepare materials for a new math class. There are many different colleges and universities that offer free online math courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. Here are ten courses that would be useful to teachers.
Numbers, Units, and Arithmetic – This introductory math course from the UK's Open University offers a basic review of whole numbers, decimals and fractions. The course is split into three self-study modules and takes approximately five hours to complete.
Algebra I – This undergraduate level Algebra I course from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology covers a wide range of topics, including groups, vector spaces, linear transformations, and bilinear forms. Course materials include lectures, quizzes, assignments, and more.
College Algebra – Utah State University's free college algebra course teaches students about number systems, graphs, functions, theorems, permutations and combinations. Course materials include readings, assignments, and quizzes.
CSET Mathematics I: Algebra – The University of California – Irvine has an excellent online course designed to help prepare math teachers for the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET). The course includes six lessons and covers a wide range of topics.
Geometry I – This free math course from the Mathematical Institute of the University of Oxford provides a thorough introduction to geometry. The online course includes lecture materials, handouts, and question sheets.
Algebraic Geometry – The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's free graduate level algebraic geometry course includes lectures, problems sets, and an exam.
Calculus I – Dixie State College of Utah offers two free online calculus courses. This course covers a wide range of topics, including limits, infinity, tangents, derivatives, anti-derivatives, and integrals.
Multivariable Calculus – This free UC Berkeley course offers a comprehensive review of multivariable calculus. The course is delivered through a series of pre-recorded audio and video lectures.
Trigonometry I – This offering from Whatcom College is more of a unit than a course, but it does provide an excellent introduction to trigonometry. The unit is presented through a 20-page PDF and includes text and illustrations.
Computational Discrete Mathematics – Carnegie Mellon is currently developing this free online course, but units are available while the course is in development. The course emphasizes practical algorithms and experiential learning and includes self-guiding materials and activities.

Hi I'm a brand new teacher; my name is Mrs. Rabbe – don't google me please but I think this is a great resource.
I've been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
I wanted to thank you for this good read!! I certainly enjoyed every
bit of it. I have you book marked to look at new
things you post…
Valuable info. Fortunate me I discovered your web site by accident, and I'm shocked why this accident didn't happened in advance!
I bookmarked it.

call your dealer first and ask for the financials up front.
from the chrysler website:
Q. Can you tell me what the discount will be on my new vehicle?
A. As an eligible purchaser/lessee you have the right to see the factory invoice and the Employee Advantage Claim Form. Ask the dealer to show you the factory invoice and look for Employee Price (EP) on the invoice. That price is what the vehicle will cost you with the discount. If you are ordering a vehicle, ask the dealer to calculate the price for you. Top
Q.May I lease a vehicle through my bank?
A. Yes, the vehicle may be leased with any financial institution. Top
Q.Are rebates deducted before or after the Employee Discount?
A. Rebates are deducted from the Employee Price (EP).

According to TSN, the Calgary Flames defeated the Phoenix Coyotes 3-2 at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Wednesday.
Matt Stajan scored the game winning goal for the Flames at 16:01 of the second period from Mark Giordano and David Jones. The goal put the Flames up at the time 3-1 and regained momentum for the Flames after Antoine Vermette of the Phoenix Coyotes scored shorthanded with Mikkel Boedker in the penalty box for tripping.
It was a strong game for Karri Ramo, who made 30 saves and registered an assist on a goal by Lance Bouma. The other Calgary Flame to score Wednesday was Sean Monahan who opened the scoring in the first period at 11:44.
For the second straight game after the penalty-filled affair Saturday in Vancouver, the Flames were very disciplined. Only Kevin Westgarth spent time in the sin bin, and it was for separate hooking and tripping infractions in the first period.
With the win, the Flames improve to 17-27-7, but are still 18 points back of the Minnesota Wild for a playoff spot.
Calgary will next play host to Nashville on Friday. The Predators were in a trade on Wednesday. The club dealt defenseman Kevin Klein to the New York Rangers for defenseman Michael Del Zotto.
Del Zotto has two goals and nine assists for 11 points, while Klein had one goal and two asssts for three points.

An Assessment of College Students' Attitudes and Empathy toward Rape
Date: December 1998
Creator: Burke, Sloane C. (Sloane Christine)
Description: The purpose of this study was to assess rape attitudes and empathy levels of students at a university in North Texas. The Attitudes Toward Rape questionnaire and the Rape Empathy Scale were administered to 387 undergraduate students. Dependent variables were attitudes and empathy and independent variables were prior knowledge or experience as a rape victim, having female siblings, gender, marital status, and age. Significance was found between rape-intolerant attitudes and both prior experience as a victim (p < .001), and gender (p < .001). Significance was also found between empathy and experience as a rape victim (p < .035) and gender (p < .032).

Gender was significant for the following factors: pregnant women as employees (p<.001), emotional stereotypes (p<.001), choosing family or career (p<.001), and physical limitations (p<.001). Those students 17-19-years-old had a more negative attitude toward pregnant women choosing work over family (p<.001) than did the older students.

Do American Adults Know How to Exercise for a Health Benefit?
Date: December 1998
Creator: Krzewinski-Malone, Jeanette A. (Jeanette Aileen)
Description: Approximately 950,000 Americans die annually from cardiovascular disease. Physical activity is a major risk factor for the development of CVD and a risk factor for stroke. The purpose of this research was to determine whether American adults know how to exercise to achieve health benefits and whether this knowledge is a function of demographics. Items included knowledge of exercise guidelines and knowledge of traditional and non-traditional exercise activities. This information was obtained from 22 questions that were a part of a larger national survey of 2,002 American households. Statistical analyses of this sample, indicate American adults have knowledge which varies by demographic groups. Data revealed that overall the 61+, Less than High School, African-American, Hispanic-American, and Male groups have the least amount of knowledge about exercise. These data can provide health educators with important aspects of exercise knowledge for future health promotions/interventions.

The Effect of Running Speed on VO2 Kinetics in the Severe Exercise Domain
Date: December 1997
Creator: Williams, Christine Suzanne
Description: There has been an interest in the kinetics of the V02 response during exercise at various intensities. However, most studies focus on the response of submaximal intensities whereas few studies have examined V02 kinetics at severe intensities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of exercise intensity on V02 kinetics over a range of severe intensities.

Effects of Endurance Intensity and Rest Interval on Subsequent Strength Performance
Date: May 1996
Creator: Books, Gregory D. (Gregory Douglas)
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of cycling exercise at different intensities and rest intervals on strength performance. Ten males, engaged in concurrent training for at least one month prior to testing, comprised the subject group for this study. Results show only leg press torque and leg press work to be decreased after cardiorespiratory exercise of moderate intensity. Leg extension average power, chest press torque, chest press power, and chest press work after cycling were not decreased from pre-exercise values. No significant effects were found for exercise intensity, testing times, or intensity by testing times. These results indicate that lower body strength is decreased by cycling and that one hour is not sufficient to restore leg strength.

The Effects of Project PACE on Adolescent Females' Physical Activity Readiness
Date: May 1998
Creator: Williams, Christy Nicole
Description: This study evaluated the effects of Project PACE, a program designed to increase physical activity, on the physical activity level and selected psychosocial variables of sedentary adolescent females ages 12 to 18. Psychosocial variables included self efficacy, attitude, perception of barriers, perceived social support, and knowledge. Of the 69 participants, 40 were enrolled in the treatment group and 29 were enrolled in the control group at the start of the study. The only significant differences were found for attitudes towards physical activity at base line. Findings from this study suggest that implementation of Project PACE protocol in school settings may produce some positive effects, but no significant findings were detected.

The Effects of Video-Computerized Feedback on Competitive State Anxiety, Self-Efficacy, Effort, and Baseball Hitting-Task Performance
Date: December 1998
Creator: Leslie, P. Jason
Description: This study examined the effects of frame-by-frame video-computerized feedback on competitive state anxiety, self-efficacy, effort, and baseball performance of high school players. Players were randomly assigned to one of three feedback conditions: (a) Hitting score, (b) Hitting score and frame-by-frame analysis of a mechanically correct swing, (c) Hitting score and frame-by-frame analysis of participant's swing and a mechanically correct swing. Once per week for six weeks, the players completed three questionnaires: (a) Hitting Self-Efficacy Scale, (b) Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2C, and (c) Performance Effort Scale, and performed a hitting task. Results of the 3 (Group) x 6 (Trials) ANOVAs revealed no significant effects. This study does not support previous confidence-baseball hitting research.

Ethnic Identity, Gay Identity and Sexual Sensation Seeking: HIV Risk-taking Predictors Among Men of Color Who Have Sex with Men
Date: August 1999
Creator: Géliga-Vargas, Jesús A.
Description: This study examined relationships among ethnic identity, gay identity, sexual sensation seeking, and HIV risk-taking behaviors among 302 men of color recruited from gay bars, bathhouses, community agencies, and the 1998 United States Conference on AIDS. The sample included 24% African American, 28% Latino, 25% Asian/ Pacific Islander, 19% Caucasian, 1% American Indian, and 3% other ethnicity. Logistic regression analysis identified sexual sensation seeking, having an undefined gay identity, being in a sexually exclusive relationship, not being HIV seronegative, and length of stay in the country (for those born overseas) as significant predictors of unprotected anal intercourse (insertive and penetrative) among men of color who have sex with men.

Goal Setting Strategies, Locus of Control Beliefs, and Personality Characteristics of NCAA Division IA Swimmers
Date: December 1999
Creator: Stout, Joel T.
Description: The purpose of the present study was to examine goal setting strategies, locus of control beliefs and personality characteristics of swimmers (108 males and 111 females) from top twenty 1999 NCAA Division IA programs. Three questionnaires were completed: (a) Goal Setting in Sport Questionnaire (GSISQ: Weinberg, Burton, Yukelson, & Weigand, 1993), (b) the Internal, Powerful Others, Chance Scale (IPC: Levenson, 1973), and (c) the compliance subscale and six conscientiousness subscales from the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO PI-R: Costa & McCrae, 1985). Descriptive statistics from the GSISQ indicated that most of the swimmers set goals to improve overall performance (51%) and set moderately difficult goals (58%). Results associated with the IPC scale revealed that most of the swimmers attributed their sport performance to internal factors. Results pertaining to the NEO-PI-R indicated that most swimmers were highly conscientious, disciplined, purposeful, and determined.

Minutemen Cruise to Sixth Straight Win
Oct. 13, 2002
BRONX, N.Y. - The UMass men's soccer team continued its early march through the Atlantic 10 Conference with Sunday's impressive 3-0 win over Fordham. The win moves UMass' record to 8-4-0 overall and 4-0-0 in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Senior forward Jeff Deren (Chicopee, Mass.) scored his first goal of the game and 11th of the season at the 5:13 mark of the first period. Deren headed in a perfect cross from Dan Colwell (Spencer, Mass.) that beat the Fordham goalkeeper to the right top corner for a 1-0 lead.
The Minutemen made it 2-0 just eight minutes later when the Colwell to Deren connection worked again. Deren scored his 12th goal of the season with a short shot past a diving Ram goalkeeper.
UMass wouldn't let up as Ptah Myers (Columbus, Ohio) notched the third goal of the game at the 16:15 mark. Myers scored off a free kick from senior Derek Rhodes (DePere, Wis.).
That was all the Minutemen needed as the defense tightened and held Fordham to nine shots for the entire game. UMass outshot the Rams, 19-9. Enzo Altomare (Derby, Conn.) and Colin Burns (Newark, Del.) shared time in the nets, earning a shared shutout. The shutout was the fourth in the last five games for the Minutemen.
UMass returns home next Friday for a 3:30 p.m. game against Duquesne at Rudd Field. The Minutemen are off to their best A-10 start since beginning 4-0-0 in 1994, en route to the school's first regular-season crown.
Goals: UMass- Jeff Deren 11 (Colwell; 5:13); UMass-Deren 12 (Colwell; 13:14); UMass-Ptah Myers 3 (Rhodes; 16:15)

It seems I shouldn't have thrown out Celgene (Nasdaq: CELG ) because of its lofty price-to-earnings ratio in my best midsized biotech article. The cancer-drug specialist justified its valuation quite effectively today with a stellar second-quarter performance.
Revenue was up 36% on the back of top-selling Revlimid, which jumped 48%. Vidaza also had a nice showing, up 43% year over year. It's hard to argue with that kind of growth.
Some of Revlimid's growth is coming from doctors using the drug in a maintenance phase. The data presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology earlier this year clearly worked as a nice little advertisement for increasing Revlimid's use. Longer use equals more revenue per patient; it doesn't get any simpler than that.
Profit growth was even more impressive. Earnings -- backing out acquisition charges but including stock-based compensation -- increased 55%. Ironically, Celgene's beaten-down price must be taking a toll on the employee's stock options because the stock-based compensation only increased by $0.01 year over year. If you do back out stock options, adjusted earnings increased by only 50%.
The strong quarter led Celgene to raise guidance for the second quarter in a row. It's not all that surprising, as Celgene's management is typically conservative, but the increased guidance also includes a $0.05 reduction in earnings for the acquisition of Abraxis BioScience (Nasdaq: ABII ) , which Celgene thinks will close in the fourth quarter.
At one time, Celgene seemed like it could do no wrong. Having better-than-a-10-bagger from mid-2002 through mid-2007 will do that to investors. But the company proved mortal, and investors knocked the stock down over the past couple years, even further than they did for other midsized biotechs Biogen Idec (Nasdaq: BIIB ) , Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN ) , and Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD ) , especially during the market crash in late 2008 / early 2009. But since April 2009, Celgene has come back further than the others. Based on this quarter, it looks like investors' confidence in that comeback was justified.

When Fairfield Parlour (aka Kaleidoscope) began writing and recording their magnum opus, `White-Faced Lady` in 1971 little did they know that it would be two decades before the double concept album saw the light of day.
The band had been caught up in a classic Catch-22 situation: Olav Wyper, the Vertigo executive who had commissioned the album was leaving to join RCA. Because of this his old label refused to honour any deals that he had entered into -- and his new label refused to take on projects that he had commission on his old label!
Effectively without a recording deal the band found themselves in a penurious limbo. The following year the band broke up and the recordings were shelved.
But unknown to the band their reputation began to grow, based on their earlier seminal albums as Kaleidoscope, `Tangerine Dream` and `Faintly Blowing` and on their respected Fairfield Parlour album, `From Home to Home.`
In 1991 `White-Faced Lady` was released on vinyl -- and has been reissued successfully many times throughout the world on CD.
Peter Daltrey`s accompanying story was printed in the sleeve notes -- but here for the first time is the expanded text in book form, sumptuously illustrated throughout.

The lack of legitimate blog content this past week is down to a tangled string of causes, from a bit of post-birthday downtime to meetings to planning and running a workshop within a ridiculously narrow timeframe. And that only took me as far as Wednesday, after which I was taken down by the sort of nasty cold that left me wrapping up a deadline-sensitive exhibition essay on a bit of a DayQuil high. Yes, it was that kind of week, so this batch of links aren't particularly cohesive – though they do make good reading for a rainy day like the one outside my window right now.
Luke Skywalker and Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back (Source: sexualityinart.wordpress.com, and no, I don't want to know why either)
The problem with video as art: In a post that plucks my own frustrations clean from my brian, Star Wars Modern praises Christian Marclay's The Clock for circumventing so many of the gallery conventions that make viewing video art so damn tedious and uncomfortable. Besides evoking good old common sense ("Imagine being asked what you thought of Empire Strikes if you had had to watch it standing in the middle of a dark gallery? You would have entered cautiously to find a nay-saying green puppet brow beating a sweaty guy, stood there for a bit and left."), the discussion also couches the genre within the historical conventions of early conceptual works that prove just how unnecessary this physical endurance game really is.
Another great calling-out of art bullshit: Corinna Kirsch at Art Fag City raises some excellent points about the ubiquity of the term "readymade" in contemporary art to such an extent that any use of the word as discussion or criticism is essentially hollow and pointless. I agree with her quite whole-heartedly, but there's also been a strong thread of contention on the post that deserves a close reading in its own right.
Interesting times in Egypt: Artist and Art21 guest blogger Lindsay Lawson coincidentally found herself on a workshop assignment in Egypt at the same time as the recent protests-turned-revolution. Though she's not alone as an artist reporting from within the storm, what is fascinating about Lawson's post is her open acknowledgement that the events and encounters swirling around her cannot be neatly reconciled into any sort of coherent narrative – this is chaos at its most honest: "During the protests a man went wakeboarding down the Nile, as he does every Friday, while people on the shore ran away from police and tear gas."
The Situationist heart of punk: In an article written in advance of a BBC Radio 4 program on the subject, Geoff Bird explains how the political charge of Britain's punk movement found its impetus in the protests of France's Situationist movement and the May '68 student revolts in Paris. Though France's punk legacy is little-known today, it's fascinating to follow this conceptual punk lineage that includes French philosophy and Patti Smith's adoration of Jean Genet and Arthur Rimbaud. You can also listen to the radio program, 'Liberty, Fraternity, Anarchy – Le Punk Francais,' on BBC's iPlayer.

"Flowers in the Attic" 2014 premiers tonight on Lifetime as a remake of the 1987 movie, "Flowers in the Attic." From most accounts, it is a remake that you'll want to watch. People Magazine on Jan. 18 calls this remake of "Flowers in the Attic" "crazy good." It is also more like what you might read about in headline news today than it was when it was first conceived for a 1979 novel.
It is about time for another couple of generations to get introduced to this story that came out of a 1979 novel by V.C. Andrews. Andrews who died in 1989, would most likely be impressed of all the renewed interest in this sick American family today. It is a story that people may relate more to today than they did when the book first hit the racks decades ago, which isn't saying much for how society has evolved in the past years.
Anyone who has seen the first "Flowers in the Attic" movie is going to wonder how they can get anyone to come close to filling the role of the poisonous grandmother who was played back then by Louise Fletcher. This remake got Ellen Burstyn, who aces the role of the secretive woman who sets up more than just nourishment for the kids.
A very rich young woman marries against her parent's wishes and they disown her. She goes off with her new husband and has four kids, life was good until the husband dies. The mother is left destitute and takes her kids to move back with her parents in a mansion that seemingly goes on forever.
She tells her kids it is just for a few weeks as she is trying to get back into the good graces of her dying father, so he would write her back into the will. The mother and the kids get there using public transportation and carrying nothing more than a few suitcases in hand. The mom is a loving mother to her four kids and they adore her, but something changes.
The mother and four kids are met by the kid's grandmother who is as cold as ice and the kids soon find out they are about as welcome as bedbugs. This is the first time they get to meet this callous woman, who is their mother's mother.
It looks as if the family hit pay dirt and they are about to enter a life of luxury, but that is short-lived. The kids are escorted off to a wing of the mansion that is never used and they are locked in this large attic room by the grandmother.
Weeks turn into months and the kids only see their grandmother when she brings them their food. The mother is nowhere in sight, but the kids get a glimpse of her every now and then out the window as she is seemingly very happy going about daily life.
The grandmother's plot is slowly realized by the two older children who care for their youngest siblings, who are twins. The grandmother is constantly tossing out warnings to the kids about the perils of lust in her very few interactions she has with them. It is not until the film almost ends that you understand where that is coming from.
The family in this movie is horrid and they were just a figment of the author's imagination when the book was penned. Today it is something that you might see ripped out of the headlines, which is why the plot is more disturbing today than it ever was.
The movie is narrated by the oldest daughter played by "Mad Men's" Kieman Shipka. She plays the role of Sally Draper in the AMC hit series. The kid's mother is played by Heather Graham. The movie was a flop when it first came out, but later turned into one of those movies with a cult-like following.
"Eat the cookie" was a term coined from this movie, much like "Go ahead and make my day" from Clint Eastwood or "Here's Johnny" from the movie "The Shinning." If Lifetime does justice to this movie, tonight you can expect to watch a thriller depicting a sick and rich American family.
Check out the movie tonight, Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 8 p.m. ET on the Lifetime channel.

California flu deaths have been on a stubborn rise this season. The latest reports show a jump in deaths from 203 to 243 deaths so far. The state Department of Public Health is investigating an additional 41 flu related deaths. According to a Feb. 14 Sacramento Bee article, only 26 people died from flu by this time last year. In comparison, the entire 2012-2013 season had 106 fatal cases.
The number 26 also applies to this year's flu deaths in Sacramento County. This is one of the highest counts in comparison to other counties in the State of California.
Los Angeles County had 52 flu related deaths, according to State Public health reports. Local public health reports had the count at 33 deaths.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, the death toll was at 51 according to a Feb. 14 San Jose Mercury News article.
Officials say the death rate is expected to keep rising, even though the season has peaked. which makes this the deadliest flu season since the H1N1 pandemic of 2009. H1N1 is still the predominant strain for this season, and the sad reality is that people only need to get a vaccine to minimize their chances of infection.
Many people are avoiding vaccines for various reasons, but that is the most often recommended course of action to take. The biggest danger is that the expected peak of the season has passed and the disease is showing a downward trend. People start to think they have dodged the bullet and will avoid taking the vaccine this year. The reality is that the season is expected to continue for a while and the virus is active.
According to a Feb. 14 LA Times report, relatively younger and healthier people have taken it hard this flu season. Still, the state report says that the "great majority" of the deaths involved people with underlying medical conditions and who stay at high risk of complications during a bout of H1N1.
Elderly people, pregnant women, infants, and people with other health conditions should be very cautious as they are the most high risk groups when it comes to H1N1 flu. People between the ages of 40 and 64 years are the most likely to contract the flu this year.
If the flu does take hold, anti viral medications can be used. The problem is that doctors are hesitant to use the "last antibiotics we have."

We've done it before: Welcome to a taxonomical breakdown of dealers in the 21st Century.
1. College kid who's just doing it for now, you know, but we can still be friends and stuff
Conversation commences with congenial greetings given to reduce the deal's awkward air. Watch as bud balances on his scale. He bags it while a bowl floats through the room. "What are my plans? Oh, you know, just chilling, probably not doing a whole lot. How about you?" Well, all right. See you soon, man. Exeunt.
2. "Dead" Family Spaceman
At Camp Bisco or [insert electronic/jam band music festival], there's that guy. You know, the one who's taken a thumb-stamp of LSD and is still somewhere off in space while his physical body tries to push acid on you. That guy. What's that rotten meat smell? That's him. Beware of unwanted dosing.
3. The Apartment-Complex Coke Dealer
Have you ever bought coke out of an apartment without having a really, really uncomfortable encounter with your dealer? It's coke, it's a dirty drug, he's a coked out, dirty guy whom you realize is ripping you off even as he explains in painstaking detail how great his shit is and how he's hooking you up. You don't call him out when he hands you a .5 baggy instead of the full g because he's that guy: the one you don't want to be around for more than five minutes. The guy who maybe, despite fucking you over regularly -- or even that-one-time -- thinks that you and he are friends.
4. Mollyfied Tweaker
It's all in the jaw. That twitch. Those bug eyes. The hop-dance. Expect botox-level smile paralysis, stanky sweat and probably some bomb molly.
5. Black Tar Bill
He sells Xanax, average bud, some mystery pills, "opium" and black tar. Two days after you encounter him at "friend's" apartment, he goes to jail for playing with butcher knives in public. Come on, bro.

Let's talk oil. No, really. We believe it's about time. If you and your partner have not yet discovered the sensual pleasure of introducing the sensation of oil, we (well, some of us) suggest you do so. What we like about the Kama Sutra Oil of Love ($47) is that each of the scents is so different from the others, but so very pleasing. What's not to love about chocolate mint, cherry almond (a favorite), raspberry kiss and vanilla crème? And let's be practical here, girls. Because they're water-based these oils wash away easily. Sure, we want to be sultry, but we don't want to be cleaning up after ourselves for days.
I dunno, Outblush. The Cherry Almond Kama Sutra oil I threw away felt and tasted like cough syrup. It was bad.

NormOxys raised $17.5 million in Series B financing for clinical development of its lead drug candidate, OXY111A, as a treatment for both chronic heart failure and cancer. NormOxys separately confirmed starting a dose-escalating Phase I trial with the compound.
The round was led by new investor, Care Capital LLC. Existing investor, Index Ventures, also participated.
NormOxys is focused on developing a drugs that enhance the body's ability to deliver oxygen more efficiently to oxygen-deficient, diseased tissues. Such oxygen release enhancer compounds represent a new class of allosteric effectors of hemoglobin that, NormOxys claims, allow hemoglobin to release much more than the normal 25% of its bound oxygen. The molecules are being evaluated for a range of diseases including heart failure, cancer, and potentially as an alternative to erythropoietin for the treatment of anemia.
"We plan to initiate additional trials to evaluate the efficacy of OXY111A in chronic heart failure and cancer later this year and we are looking forward to advancing additional candidates within our pipeline," comments Martin Tolar, M.D., Ph.D., CEO of NormOxys.
NormOxys claims that allosteric effectors of hemoglobin demonstrate significant effects on tumor growth. The drug increases hemoglobin's oxygen-release capacity under tumor-related hypoxic conditions and so switches off the hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1 alpha, which then down-regulates hypoxia-inducible genes, the company explains. The firm also reports that studies in mice with severe heart failure found that administration of OXY111A resulted in a dose-related increase in maximal exercise capacity of 63 ± 7%.
"In chronic heart failure patients OXY111A has tremendous potential to improve clinical outcome both in terms of morbidity and mortality and also improved exercise tolerance and therefore quality of life," remarks David Clark, M.D., CMO. "This Phase I study builds on preclinical cardiovascular studies in which we have shown that OXY111A enhances the exercise capacity of normal mice as well as of mice with severe heart failure caused by dilated cardiomyopathy, and, additionally, OXY111A attenuates the left ventricular remodeling seen in mice post MI [myocardial infarction], with no apparent side effects in either model."

College Hockey:USCHO Women's Game of the Week: UNH at Providence
In their storied histories, the New Hampshire and Providence women's hockey programs have combined for over 100 head-to-head meetings, 1,000 wins, 12 ECAC postseason crowns, and more recently, the first and only two Hockey East regular season and postseason titles.
The sport's two greatest historical powers face off in Saturday's USCHO Game of the Week in a familiar position — undefeated atop their league's standings. Providence is the two-time defending league postseason champion, but UNH has been ranked higher for the better part of this season and last. Because of the Wildcats' nonconference success, they're in far superior position to the Friars in the hunt for an NCAA at-large berth, and they even have a shot at hosting an NCAA quarterfinal, although Providence can gain ground quickly with some head-to-head wins. In the end, which or both of these teams makes the tourney may come down to the Hockey East postseason crown, which comes with an automatic NCAA invite for the first time this season. However, such considerations are still distant, and Saturday's head-to-head showdown at Providence will be the focus for now — at least until the rematch on Sunday at the Whittemore Center.
No. 8 New Hampshire 15-4-4 (7-0-2 Hockey East)
Top Scorers: Nicole Hekle, So., F (15-21-36), Stephanie Jones, Sr., F (15-13-28), Lindsay Hansen, Jr., F (5-20-25)
Top Goaltender: Melissa Bourdon, So., G (12-4-3, 1.84, .916)
Scoring Offense: 3.48 (6th)
Scoring Defense: 1.70 (6th)
Penalty Minutes: 14.0 (15th)
Power Play: 17.9% (10th)
Penalty Kill: 92.8% (1st)
After going 3-1-3 in a brutal seven-game homestand from Jan. 1 to Jan. 15, a two-week break leading to up this weekend was a boon for the Wildcats, who have just nine forwards and five defensemen healthy on their roster. UNH faced several challenges during that stretch, the foremost of which was facing No. 2 Dartmouth without two of those five defensemen. Although the Wildcats are small in numbers, they were still competitive in the face of that adversity, because so few teams in the country have talent spread across three lines like they do. Nevertheless, the in-conference ties against Boston College and Maine were not the kind of results UNH was looking for.
A big question entering this weekend is how the Wildcats will perform away from the big ice of the Whittemore Center against a team of the Friars' caliber. UNH is just 3-2-1 on the road so far this season, and all those games came against teams at the extremities of the standings. The road wins were against Vermont, Boston College and Northeastern, while the losses and tie were against No. 5 St. Lawrence and No. 2 Dartmouth. Against Providence the last two seasons, UNH is 3-0 at home, but 1-3 at Providence's Schneider Arena, and 0-2 in the Hockey East Championships at Matthews Arena. UNH will have to adjust to unfamiliar territory better than it has in the past to be successful on Saturday.
Providence 12-6-4 (7-0-1 Hockey East)
Top Scorers: Karen Thatcher, Jr., F (15-20-35), Rush Zimmerman, Sr., F (13-22-35), Sonny Watrous, So., F (16-9-25)
Top Goaltender: Amy Thomas, Sr., G (11-6-4, 2.63, .893)
Scoring Offense: 3.14 (11th)
Scoring Defense: 2.77 (19th)
Penalty Minutes: 15.7 (7th)
Power Play: 19.3% (7th)
Penalty Kill: 89.0% (9th)
This season has been a familiar story for the Friars — play .500 hockey out of conference, but dominate once the Hockey East season comes around. The latest sign of encouragement from Providence's sweep of Northeastern is the development of scoring sources aside from the top line of Karen Thatcher, Rush Zimmerman and Sonny Watrous (the latter of whom missed last weekend's series). Those three have accounted for two-thirds of the team's goals — an atypical scoring distribution for a Providence team. But now freshman Rachel Crissy has gotten into the act with a power play goal in back-to-back games, including the overtime game-winner on Tuesday against the Huskies. Junior Katelynn Laffin had a three-point weekend.
Providence, regardless of the circumstances, has brought its best game when UNH comes to Schneider Arena. The Friars have scored 19 goals in four games at home versus the Wildcats over the last two seasons.

Citi Names New Hong Kong-Based Global Head of Retail Banking
Citigroup Inc. has named Jonathan Larsen, currently head of consumer banking for Asia-Pacific, the head of its global retail banking unit, the first time the role will be based in Asia, according to a statement Wednesday.
The move underlines the growing importance of the retail banking business to the U.S. bank, with Asia Pacific contributing 37% to Citi's global net income in the first quarter of the year, and consumer banking in Asia making up almost half of that number.
The retail banking business involves managing Citi's vast branch network, which numbers 4,600 across the world with almost 700 in Asia.
In his new role, Mr. Larsen will continue to report to Asia Pacific Chief Executive Stephen Bird and the head of Citi's consumer group, Manuel Medina-Mora. Mr. Medina-Mora previously ran the global retail banking business.
Mr. Larsen joined Citi in 1998, and his previous roles include country head for Singapore, head of consumer banking for Asean and head of business development for Asia Pacific.

BUELACH, Switzerland, May 21, 2012 – Six-month results from the BIOLUX P-I study, demonstrating excellent safety and efficacy results for the BIOTRONIK Passeo-18 Lux Paclitaxel Releasing Balloon, were presented on Thursday, May 17, 2012, at the EuroPCR 2012 congress by Dr. Andrej Schmidt, Chief Angiologist at Herzzentrum/Park- Krankenhaus, Leipzig, Germany.
The Passeo-18 Lux Paclitaxel Releasing Balloon is a novel approach for treating de novo and restenotic femoropopliteal lesions. The device is based on the proven Passeo-18 percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) catheter, which is then coated with a matrix of proven antiproliferative paclitaxel and the biocompatible butyryl-tri-hexyl citrate (BTHC) excipient—enabling an optimal drug transfer to the target lesion tissue. In addition, Passeo-18 Lux features a unique, protective insertion aid to facilitate easier device introduction and handling.
BIOLUX P-I is a randomized controlled study investigating the safety and performance of the Passeo-18 Lux Drug Releasing Balloon catheter (n = 30) versus an uncoated Passeo-18 PTA catheter (n = 30), for the treatment of lesions in the femoropopliteal segment up to 200 mm in length. Patients were enrolled at five centers in Germany and Austria.
Primary endpoint data evaluated by an independent core-lab documented significantly reduced angiographic late lumen loss (LLL) at 6 months (p = 0.033) in the Passeo-18 Lux arm (in-segment LLL = 0.51 ± 0.72 mm) vs. the uncoated PTA catheter (in-segment LLL = 1.04 ± 1.00 mm). Binary restenosis was also reduced (p = 0.048) in the Passeo-18 Lux arm vs. the uncoated PTA catheter (11.5% vs. 34.6% respectively).
"The Passeo-18 Lux has demonstrated excellent results in this study and reinforces our confidence in drug-releasing balloons as a viable therapy option for femoropopliteal arterial disease," commented Prof. Dierk Scheinert, Chief Clinical Investigator of BIOLUX P-I and Department Head, Herzzenturm/Park-Krankenhaus Leipzig, Germany. "This device is very deliverable and easy to use compared with other technologies and treatment options for these demanding vessels."
"BIOLUX P-I again demonstrates improved clinical outcomes with our Lux drug-releasing balloon technology," remarked Alain Aimonetti, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, BIOTRONIK Vascular Intervention. "We have invested heavily in delivering state-of-the-art peripheral vascular devices and a supportive clinical study program. Passeo-18 Lux will be an exciting and proven addition to our unique portfolio."

Liverpool's Academy is more accustomed to seeing starlets rather than veterans – but pop down to the Kirkby complex on Sunday afternoons and that's exactly what you're likely to see.
The Liverpool FC Foundation launched the military veterans' programme in November of last year.
The scheme aims to re-engage ex-service personnel with physical activity and recapture their spirit of service and comradeship. The project also promotes health, education and employment.
Our cameras were at the Academy on Sunday afternoon to capture the latest weekly training session - and you can see the fine work the programme does for yourself in our free clip below.
The LFC Foundation are keen to welcome many more ex-servicemen and women to the scheme. If you, a colleague or family member would like to be part of the programme, please contact Steve on firstname.lastname@example.com.

Stacks/The Law Firm - News Room
It seems logical to assume that a parent who takes their child to another country, unbeknownst to the other parent, and without their consent, is committing a crime.
Indeed, sometimes it is considered a crime, but not always.
At the moment, if a parent violates a Court Order by taking their child out of the country, it's an offence that can carry a hefty fine or jail time. But if there are no Parenting Orders in existence, and parenting matters are not currently before the Family Court, then Australian law does not consider this an offence.
Many parenting groups are demanding that new laws be considered to make the removal of a child without the other parent's consent a crime, regardless of the circumstances.
While the 'abducting' parent may not face charges, there is at least an avenue for the parent left behind to have their child returned. Australia is party to the Hague Convention, an international treaty which aims to return children who have been wrongfully removed. Countries that have signed the treaty, currently over 80, have a Central Authority that deals with requests for the return of children.
The parent left behind can apply to the Central Authority in the country the child has been taken to, which will pursue their request. The case will be heard there, and assuming that the parent and child can be located, will often result in the child's return.
But not always. The abducting parent may be able to object to the child's return. For example, if a child has been away from their home country for over 12 months and is settled, it might be argued that moving them again would be harmful. For parents pursuing their return, the message here seems clear; act fast.
If the child has been taken to a non-Hague Convention country, getting them back becomes a great deal harder.
Some believe the lack of a criminal offence effectively says to parents considering abducting their children, "give it a go". At worst, you'll be forced to return.
But there may be consequences. Decisions about parenting orders are generally dealt with after the child has been returned, in their home country. The impact on the child will always be the focus, and the Family Court may not look kindly on parents who have wrongfully removed their children. Surely a child who fears they could be removed from their parent, friends and home at any moment, will not feel secure?
Some argue that making international child abduction a crime would achieve little, perhaps forcing abducting parents underground. Others believe that when emotions run high, such as during a relationship breakdown, people will behave unpredictably, criminal offence or not.
The debate continues.

Review: Moyo Fountains Valley
Normal criteria to judge restaurants by are quality of food, the class of service and atmosphere. For Moyo I have to introduce another category – your ass.
After sitting at Moyo for just half an hour you will be acutely aware of your ass and how much it hurts. Although the chairs have a rustic charm to them, they are uncomfortable as hell and your ass will be begging for mercy.
During this first half hour you will also get thirsty since waiters at Moyo is seriously a scare resource.
If you do manage to get a waiter and order something, the waiter will return 10 minutes later only to inform you that they don't have that item in stock. That goes for the wine and food.
Eventually we got so fed up with the waiter returning to tell us they don't have stock that we asked him to find out what they do have and then we will order that.
The restaurant looks stunning. Too bad the food is just average.
We finally struck gold and ordered something they do have. Luckily the food wasn't as shit as the service. However, that's all I can say for it though. Average at best.
There are so many negative things to mention about Moyo in Fountains Valley which is really unfortunate. The Moyo in Melrose Arch are for many people the definitive measuring stick you use to measure other restaurants with.
I assume that Moyo had an 'off' evening and that most of the time they must be on the ball. How else would they have survived this long?So maybe it is worth your time and money to go there. I would definitely not go back there. The amount they charge for the food and the service you get...not worth it.
I can summarise the experience with this:

Burlington official pushes assault weapons banDecember 28,2012BURLINGTON A city councilor in Vermonts largest city is responding to the recent school massacre in Connecticut by proposing a municipal ban on assault weapons with high-capacity ammunition clips.
Burlington City Councilor Norman Blais (Blay), a Democrat, is getting a mixed reaction from his fellow Council members. Two of them are urging that the city focus on better mental health counseling.
Blais is targeting the types of guns that Connecticut authorities say Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and six staff members at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn, on Dec.14. Lanza also killed his mother and himself.
Vermont law bars municipalities from adopting the sort of ordinance Blais is seeking, so the change would require action both in the city and the state Legislature.MORE IN Vermont NewsMany Vermont dairy farms are experiencing a tough summer, receiving very low prices for their...

5 Annoying Social Media Marketing Clichés That Won't Die
Certain words and phrases in social media marketing advice have become so overused that I cringe when I read them. They have a sanctimonious air of do-gooderism that is particularly annoying in the context of business, which is supposed to be about the ruthless world of making money.
But these clichés aren't going to go away, because they're all good advice. If you follow these clichés, you will succeed at social media marketing and make lots of money.
Engage. That's the big kahuna of social media marketing clichés. Companies shouldn't just be preoccupied with sending their messages out, they need to engage: get in on conversations with the market, listen to what customers and potential customers have to say, and respond.
Very true, but the word is annoying. "Engage" should be a word reserved for discussions of marriage and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Monitor. Companies should pay attention to key influencers in their markets and read and listen to what they have to say. They should use social media and reputation monitoring tools to keep on top of what people are saying, and should use that information to inform marketing and business decisions.
Give back. Marketers can't focus on selling product all the time. They need to publicize what other people are doing as well. This can be supporting charities, retweeting, or otherwise echoing other people's messages, or just entertaining and informing.
Do favors for other people, and they'll be more receptive to your marketing message. Think about the guy at the party who's always handing out business cards and trying to take advantage of other people. Don't be that guy. Instead, be the guy who helps out and brings a delicious potato salad. Everybody wants to get near that guy.
Go viral. Everybody wants to be the next Old Spice Man or "Will It Blend," but this is not the sort of thing you can plan on. Planning to go viral is like scheduling yourself to fall in love on Tuesday -- it just doesn't work that way. Videos will go viral, or they won't. It's outside of marketers' control.
That's frustrating, because going viral works. Viral video can increase brand exposure and improve sales. Heck, I was reading an article the other day about viral videos for marketing that talked about a marketing campaign for a special kind of razor used to shave people's heads. I got to thinking that I should maybe shave my head. I didn't even see the video, and it worked on me.
While you can't plan to go viral, you can maximize your chances. My colleague Dee-Ann LeBlanc rounds up six keys to going viral.
Markets are conversations. Mercifully, this cliché has died out in the past few years, but it's still true -- more so now than it was 12 years ago, when it was published as part of the Cluetrain Manifesto. It used to be that marketers sent conversations out into the marketplace, in the form of advertising and direct mail; it was like tying notes around rocks and throwing them through people's windows.
Marketing is now a two-way discussion, involving talking, listening, and modifying future speech and behavior based on what you hear.
Cluetrain is still relevant today, even though it was published in 1999, before Twitter and Facebook and YouTube, and back when blogging had barely begun. Companies are struggling with marketing conversations like they never have before. And that's actually good news, because when Cluetrain came out, there was no struggle. Companies were completely oblivious to its valuable messages.

Baked Alaska
From EatingWell: July/August 1995
For these individual Baked Alaskas, the meringue is beaten over simmering water to ensure that the temperature of the eggs reaches and maintains 140°F for 3 minutes. These desserts are finished under the broiler, but if you have a propane torch, you can do a masterful job of browning the meringue. This dessert is lovely garnished with Johnny-jump-ups or nasturtium blossoms
