Governor signs six bills to combat cancer
In a celebration last week at Virginia Commonwealth University's Massey Cancer Center, Gov. Bob McDonnell ceremonially signed six pieces of legislation that will further cancer-related research, treatment and education throughout the state.
"While we can celebrate that more and more Virginians are surviving cancer today because of the work of cancer organizations like Massey, we must continue to work to find a cure," McDonnell said.
State support to the Massey Cancer Center rose from $1 million to $7.5 million in the past two years, and with House Bill 1182 – one of the measures signed Monday – the center will now be able to apply for research grants from the Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Fund.
"Massey serves on the front lines of the war on cancer, and the work done here exemplifies VCU's laser focus on research that makes a difference and our unwavering commitment to human health," said VCU President Michael Rao. "What you do inspires everyone."
Rao expressed delight in hosting McDonnell as well as gratitude toward the state government "for investing additional resources in Massey's ground-breaking and valuable research."
"Every year, more than 35,000 Virginians are diagnosed with cancer," said Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling. "That's why it is so important for us to do everything we can to combat this disease and promote effective programs to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. We can accomplish this goal by promoting healthy living, investing in cancer research and treatment, and advancing legislative solutions like those the governor is signing today."
McDonnell also signed:
• HB 83, sponsored by Delegate Robert Orrock, R-Thornburg, and Senate Bill 544, sponsored by Sen. John Edwards, D-Roanoke. These companion bills require doctors to tell women having mammograms whether they have dense breast tissue that could hide cancer.
• HB 1273, sponsored by Delegate Christopher Peace, R-Mechanicsville, and SB 450, by Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel, R-Winchester. These bills require health insurers to pay the same for orally administered cancer chemotherapy drugs as they do for intravenous therapy.
• House Joint Resolution 120, sponsored by Mark D. Sickles, D-Franconia. It establishes Sept. 26 in Virginia as Mesothelioma Awareness Day. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in the protective lining that covers the body's internal organs. It is usually caused by exposure to asbestos.
House Speaker William Howell of Stafford and various legislators attended the bill-signing ceremony.
Also present were representatives of the Women's Clubs of Virginia, the Medical Society of Virginia, the National Patient Advocate Foundation, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation.

The Huskie gymnastics team enjoys some of the finest competition and practice facilities in the Mid-American Conference.
Northern Illinois' gymnastics facilities have been upgraded in each of the last two years, most recently with the completion of the NIU Gymnastics Room for the 2008-09 season. The new area gives the Huskies' nearly three times more space than before and is filled with new, state-of-the-art equipment, including multiple bars sets and balance beams. The new area supplements the previous practice facility, which features an above-ground pit system that is seven-feet deep with two runways, 736 square feet of loose foam and a myriad of landing mats and skill cushions. The practice area also houses an above-ground pit system at the end of a full-length tumbling strip.
Inside the adjacent Jeffrey and Kimberly Yordon Center, which opened in August 2007, NIU gymnasts have the use of the 12,500-square foot weight room and fully-staffed athletic training room to enhance their athletic development and manage their health and fitness.
NIU gymnastics home meets are held in the 9,100-seat Convocation Center., site of the 2005 Mid-American Conference Gymnastics Championships Competitions are held in either the "main bowl" of the "Convo" or in the adjacent, and cozier Victor E. Court.
Located on the west end of campus, the Convocation Center encompasses 215,000 square feet with over 3,000 parking spaces. In addition to athletics events, NIU commencement ceremonies, job fairs, concerts, and other programs have been held in the building. The north side of the building holds the Huskie Athletics administrative and coaching offices.

Welcome to Oracle's Application Grid Blog
By Application Grid Product Marketing on Mar 26, 2009
Application grid is an approach, architecture, and set of practices related to foundational middleware technologies such as application servers and transaction processing monitors. The idea is to bring to middleware grid computing's techniques of pooling resources and dynamically adjusting their allocation across demands.
Compared with traditional "dedicated stack" practices, the grid approach improves efficiency through better utilization of resources and also improves performance, reliability, and scalability.
In this blog we'll explore all of this in more detail, looking at what technologies, practices, and products are involved. It's a fairly new and emerging area, so there's lots to learn, discover, create, and even argue about! Let the games begin...

Google wants to make anyone an Android app developer
Google has launched a tool that lets anyone develop Android applications, even people with absolutely no programming knowledge at all.
In fact, the new App Inventor for Android is aimed specifically at people with no prior programming knowledge.
This is because it all works based on a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor, an idea borrowed from web development. Only unlike web development editors, there doesn't seem to be any way to enter or edit raw code into the App Inventor, even if you do know your way around with programming languages a little bit.
It uses a block-based infrastructure, where 'blocks' can be anything from buttons, links, to blocks that store information, have repetitive actions, and blocks to perform certain actions only under certain conditions. There are even blocks for letting your app talk to Amazon or Twitter. Apps you build can even create databases of information.
Using App Inventor to create an app doesn't seem to limit how much of the phone's hardware features you can make use of. You have access to the GPS, accelerometer and other sensors and you can even have your users speak to the app to make it perform actions.
You can also trigger actions to be taken by other parts of the Android OS, such as automatically texting "Sorry, I'm driving" messages to anyone who sends you an SMS while you're using the app (and, presumably, driving).
There seems to be an endless amount of use-cases for applications developed with this tool, so I'm sure that over time we'll see many very good ones. And this may, obviously, help Android in the ongoing battle with iOS over how many apps are available for each platform.
Here's the brief video demo:
Access to App Inventor is currently granted only after you fill in this form, but getting in immediately is in no way guaranteed. Greater availability will presumably come soon, after Google has worked out all the kinks and squashed all the bugs.
If you have been granted access and want to play with it, make sure you check out the Getting Started guide, the Tutorials, and if you need any help, there's a Google group just for that.
Sample applications are also available.
What are you waiting for then? Your career as an Android developer starts… now!

Equipment Development
In close collaboration with Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF) scientists, researchers at University Radioactive Ion Beam (UNIRIB) consortium universities are offered the opportunity to perform low-energy nuclear structure research using radioactive/stable ion beams and experimental equipment available through HRIBF.
UNIRIB, a division of the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), provides not only funding, but also technical support, equipment and the ability to bring scientists together to collaborate on nuclear energy research. The UNIRIB consortium also plays an important role in leveraging national laboratory and university resources to effectively accomplish the strategic science goals of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
Learn more about many of UNIRIB's ongoing technical developments and available equipment below:
Active Projects
Oak Ridge Isomer and Isobar Spectrometer and Separator (ORISS)
ORISS is an ultra-high-resolution isomer/isobar separator for the spectroscopy of the decay of very exotic nuclei. Radioactive ion beams are produced via the isotope separator on-line technique (ISOL) method, where a thick target is bombarded with light ions, such as protons, deuterons or alpha particles. The radioactive species produced in the reaction has to diffuse out of the production target and is transported to the ion source where it is ionized and accelerated.
These steps are highly dependent on the chemistry of the isotope. Neutron-rich beams are produced at the HRIBF via the fission of uranium. In this case, isotopes of many different elements are produced simultaneously. Hence, it is often necessary to perform chemical separation in addition to mass separation.
He-jet ion source
The He-jet ion source is a fast and chemically in-selective novel type of ion source, which can be used to investigate very exotic, short-lived isotopes.
The Ekta-BESCA is a nine-fold, segmented, solid state conversion electron spectrometer with very high peak detection efficiency.
Development of radioactive ion beam ion sources
The radioactive ion beam development team works to understand the processes that take place in a target-ion source and to optimize each of them in order to purify beams and increase their intensities. Development of new beams is also needed to support experiments with proton-rich isotopes that are relevant to radiochemical detectors for stewardship science.
UNISOR mass separator
The UNISOR isotope separator facility is composed of a target/ion source station on-line to the 25 MeV tandem accelerator, a 90-degree mass separation magnet having a mass resolution of m/dm = 2000, and three experimental endstations.
Recoil mass spectrometer (RMS)
The RMS is a zero degree device used to separate masses produced in nuclear reactions. The spectrometer is 25 meters long and is comprised of a momentum separator for beam rejection and the traditional electric-magnetic-electric dipole mass separator.
Low-energy radioactive ion beam spectroscopy station (LeRIBSS)
The LeRIBSS is a detector station for decay spectroscopy of exotic neutron-rich nuclei produced during the proton-induced fission of U238 at the HRIBF.
Digital electronics for decay spectroscopy
Decay spectroscopy involves the observation of radioactive nuclei through beta decay, alpha decay and proton emission.

National Post ·
The best 1.7 seconds of Toronto's season might have been played on Wednesday night by Amir Johnson, the guy Jose Calderon once described to the rest of the Raptors as one of the best teammates he ever had. Johnson entered the game with 15.7 seconds to go as Hedo Turkoglu was about to shoot a second free throw; Johnson nonchalantly took a step into the lane as the free throw was launched.
He then clawed his way past Josh Smith and kept the miss alive, knocking it out of bounds off Atlanta's Marvin Williams.
With 14.0 seconds left Johnson loped back to the bench, his mission accomplished with nothing much more than effort.
"He doesn't view it as 'I'm just in here as a sub, killing two or three seconds,'" Raptors coach Jay Triano said yesterday. "He views it as this is an opportunity to get my hand on a ball. And he did."
It is like Chris Bosh said in his season-defining diatribe last Saturday night: "Act like you care," he thundered, after a second consecutive game in which the Raptors met adversity and essentially surrendered to it. Not for the first time, either.
On Wednesday, though, the Raptors showed something more. They trailed the Hawks for just over 20 consecutive minutes of second-half play; it was adversity, again. But they refused to turtle, and Bosh's game-winning jumper with 2.1 seconds left sealed the comeback.
"We just seemed to have more energy, we had good energy," Triano said. "Our guys were very active."
And so with 16 games left in the 2009-10 campaign and a playoff spot on the line, that's the mission now. Act like you care. That's it.
"Sometimes we just let too many things dictate our mood," Bosh said yesterday. "When we miss shots we kind of get down; when we make mistakes we kind of get down. [Wednesday], we played with a little bit more heart. You just play, play it out, try as hard as you can. When you keep it going, keep trying, that's what happens."
Bosh has been beating that drum for so long that every time he is asked about it it feels like deja vu for everyone involved. For the fans, too; there's a reason they were booing two minutes into the Atlanta game, with Toronto already looking lifeless.
It is one thing to cheer for a team that is just not quite good enough to matter. It is another to cheer for a team that, too often, doesn't seem to care enough to matter. As one member of the organization put it yesterday, "Sometimes, when we start missing shots and getting down, we just sort of cave."
This is the city that embraced Jerome (Junkyard Dog) Williams because, while he couldn't figure out a pick-and-roll for love nor money, he hustled. This is the city that adored Alvin Williams and his limited talent because he worked. This is the city that loved Matt Bonner because he was an adorable doofus. Oh, and he gave his all, too.
The point is that this well-heeled town has an affinity for the grinders, and while Amir Johnson does what he can in the minutes he gets, this team's character is sometimes dominated by the Andrea Bargnanis and Hedo Turkoglus, which is probably part of why attendance has dropped 8.3%since 2007-08.
If this team had played as hard all season as it did Wednesday-- a game in which Bargnani grabbed 11 rebounds, the most since Jan. 15, and in which Turkoglu seemed to care for the first time in ages--how much better would they be than 33-33?
"I think you could ask every team in the Eastern Conference that same question, and the answer would be we would all be better off," said Antoine Wright, who returns tonight against Oklahoma City after one game off with a sprained ankle.
"But I think we understand it's going to take that type of effort and that type of mentality over the next three weeks of the season for us to be in the playoffs. There's a lot of teams mushed together, and they're all fighting. So we have to come with that fight."
There is a difference between knowing what it takes, and bringing what it takes. Bosh may have mentally checked out of this mess, or maybe he settled for jumpers against Atlanta because of their defensive scheme. Bargnani may have flashed his teeth against Atlanta, but that doesn't mean we'll see them again. Turkoglu may be a little too insecure, but there's a good player in there somewhere.
Look, there doesn't seem to be much doubt as to where this season's headed. Sure, the Raptors would probably prefer to play Orlando or Boston over Atlanta or Cleveland in the first round, but odds are the match-up itself won't matter much. Barring one hell of a plot twist, Toronto's season will be buried in the first round of the playoffs for the third time in four years.
But if they want any hope at all, that's the prescription. It may be Game 67, and this team may still be talking about how to capture urgency and focus and desire. But show us something, Raptors. Make it worth our while. Act like you care, as often as you can, before it's over.

It's a bun in the oven for yet another Hollywood couple. Ok! Magazine reports that Eva Mendes is seven months pregnant, and hottie Ryan Gosling is the father.
Mendes is thrilled. "She's been ready for motherhood for a while now, and to be sharing this experience with Ryan is a dream come true for her[,]" a source close to the couple told the magazine.
Apparently motherhood wasn't always a huge priority for the stunning 40-year old. Back in 2011, Mendes told Stylist magazine that she didn't feel the urge to become a parent just yet:
"Maybe I'll do it when I'm 41 or something; that's happened to a lot of people I know who decided not to. I don't feel the ticking clock… I feel I have time. Whether that's a reality or not, I don't know. I'll just be patient."
Mendes began dating Gosling, who is 33, in 2011 after they co-starred in the movie "The Place Beyond the Pines," but have been on-again, off-again recently. However, the baby news seems to have reinvigorated their relationship. According to Ok!'s source, "Ryan grew up without a dad, so he always said when he had kids, he'd be there no matter what. This is it for him."
That might not be good enough for the new momma. Ok's source continues, "Ryan doesn't think they need to marry just because they are having a baby, but Eva believes it's important to have their lives fully intertwined."
Will the parents-to-be make it official before the baby comes? Or will they follow the new trend of getting married afterwards? Only time will tell!

On Sunday, July 27, Rev. Louis R. Blakey, Jr., pastor of New Canaan Worship Center in Richmond, Virginia concluded his series from the book of Numbers about the Israelites in the wilderness on their way to the promised land. Today's sermon was titled "Standing on the Edge of Disaster" based on Numbers 16:41-50. A previous sermon was "Standing on the Edge of Greatness."
At this time of being in the wilderness, people had grown weary in the camp and dissension had started, and they had begun to point fingers and blaming others especially Moses and Aaron. They had a big problem because they did not have a relationship with God. We were created to have a relationship with God and with others.
The pastor pointed out three areas surrounding the people's dissension and the reason they were on the edge of disaster: rebellion, response, and rescue.
Even though the people grumbled against Moses, they were rebellious not against Moses but against God. Korah was the main one who was complaining. Therefore, God told the people not to be around Korah, According to Numbers 16: 31, "The ground under them split apart, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, and all those associated with Korah, together with their possessions. They went down alive into the realm of the dead, with everything they owned; the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community." Rebellion causes death.
God told Moses to tell Aaron to put incense in a censer and go through the camp to make atonement for the people. Aaron responded by being the go between the living and the dead. The plague stopped but not before 14,700 people died from the plague in addition to those who died because of Korah. Despite the rebellion and the response, there still was a rescue through Aaron.
Jesus became our rescue when He died on the cross to make atonement for us. Never again will we be separated from God. Jesus blood gives us hope when we are on the edge of disaster. Because of his blood we can come back from the edge of disaster.

Is it possible to prevent anaphylaxis?
Preventing anaphylaxis is the ideal form of treatment. However, that may not always be easy since insect stings are frequently unanticipated, and allergens in foods are often hidden in a variety of different preparations. A consultation with an allergist is vital in helping one identify the trigger(s) and providing information and instruction on how to best avoid them. The affected individual will learn how to use emergency kits and how to become prepared for any reaction in the future.
These are three situations in which preventive treatment might be offered by the allergist.
- Allergy shots may be suggested to some people with wasp, yellow jacket, hornet, honey bee, or fire ant reactions. This form of treatment gives 98% protection against the first four insect reactions, though somewhat less protection against fire ant reactions.
- Premedication is most helpful in preventing anaphylaxis from X-ray dyes. Alternative dyes that are less likely to cause reactions may be available.
- Desensitization to problematic medications is often effective. This process is accomplished by gradually increasing the amount of the medication given under controlled conditions. Sensitivities to penicillin, sulfa drugs, and insulin have been successfully treated in this way.
Anyone known to be at risk for anaphylaxis should wear a Medic-Alert bracelet that clearly states the allergic trigger, the risk of anaphylaxis, and the availability of an epinephrine kit.
People with anaphylaxis to medications should take new medications by mouth whenever possible since the risk of anaphylaxis is higher with injections.
|Avoidance Principle
|Insect stings
Since avoidance is not fail-safe, a person at risk for an anaphylactic reaction must be adequately prepared in an emergency to handle a reaction. It is recommended that everyone at risk carry epinephrine injection kits designed for self-administration. These kits are available by prescription only and come in two forms:
- EpiPen is a spring-loaded automatic syringe that delivers a predetermined dose (0.3 mg) when the tip is pressed hard for several seconds. An EpiPen junior is available for children under 33 pounds and contains half of the dose.
- Ana-kit contains a preloaded syringe and needles with two 0.3 mg doses of epinephrine. These are injected under the skin or into the muscle of the thigh. An antihistamine, alcohol swab, and a tourniquet are included in the kit.
Learn more about: Ana-kit
Here are some important points to remember regarding the kits:
- Ask a doctor to explain the use of the kit carefully and practice with the demonstrator kit.
- Check expiration dates and replace outdated kits.
- Keep kits out of direct sunlight, which may affect the drug.
- Additional kits should be brought to school or work.
- Always have kits readily available.
- Make sure that friends, relatives, exercise buddies, and coworkers are aware of one's condition and know what to do in case of a reaction.

20:44, UK, Wednesday 09 May 2012
Over 100 UK bankers have won a court battle to secure £42m in unpaid bonuses from their former employer Commerzbank - even though it made huge losses.
A High Court judge ruled that 104 ex-London employees of Dresdner Kleinwort, now owned by Germany's second largest bank Commerzbank, should have the bonus payments promised to them four years ago honoured.
The judge said the bank had breached its legal duties by failing to honour the payouts, which came from a guaranteed annual bonus pool in 2008, calling them "binding and enforceable contractual promises".
Commerzbank, which has twice been bailed out by German taxpayers, had argued that its now integrated Dresdner Kleinwort investment banking subsidiary was both justified and obliged to slash 2008 bonuses because of its huge losses.
But High Court judge Robert Owen said: "I have come to the conclusion that the claimants are entitled to payment of bonuses provisionally awarded to them."
The individual claims brought by the bankers against the company and ranged from £12,000 to £1.6m.
Lawyers for the bankers said the case hinged simply on a brazen attempt by an employer to break promises made to staff, who had been persuaded to remain loyal to the bank in uncertain times with the promise of financial reward.
They said the pool was created in August 2008 in order to retain staff and was formally communicated to them by Dr Stefan Jentzsch, then chief executive of Dresdner Kleinwort Investment Bank, who said the pool would remain "no matter what", irrespective of financial performance.
Speaking on Jeff Randall Live, Clive Zietman, from Stewarts LLP, who represent 83 of the bankers said: "The promise was made not just to the employees, but also to the FSA, which was a critical part of the case."
He added: "The money was allocated and I think the case has much wider implications for employees across the country."
Mr Zietman also explained that the outcome was positive for others, as he told Sky News: "One winner out of today will be HM Revenue here, because my clients are income tax payers and they will be paying some of that money to the Revenue."
At the end of a two-and a half year legal battle, Commerzbank called the decision "disappointing" and said it would appeal against it.
A spokesman added: "The bank believes that the decision to reduce discretionary bonuses in light of 6.5bn euros (£5.2bn) of losses at Dresdner Kleinwort for 2008 was responsible and justified.
"The main argument revolves around whether the announcement on August 18 amounted to a legally binding agreement.
"It is the Bank's submission that there is every prospect that the Court of Appeal would come to a different view on this matter."
The ruling flies in the face of government, investor and public anger at the size of bonuses that have been paid despite disappointing returns and billions spent by taxpayers bailing out banks after the 2008 credit crisis.
Mark Levine, employment partner at Mishcon de Reya, who represented the bankers, said: "This case is likely to have significance whenever employment contracts are varied, particularly on the basis of verbal commitment or actions."
Sky News City editor Mark Kleinman added: "This issue of banker bonuses simply won't disappear."
The ruling came on the same day that Commerzbank posted a 63% drop in quarterly profits.
:: The Centre for Economics and Business Research has predicted that jobs in London's finance sector will slump to their lowest level for 16 years, with the eurozone crisis set to cause over 25,000 layoffs in 2012.
The think-tank said that would push the number of jobs lost in the City of London since the top of the financial boom in 2007 to 100,000,
The CEBR's analysis shows an average of 255,000 financial services jobs in London in 2012, the lowest level since the first quarter of 1996.
It put the additional staff cuts down to troubles in the eurozone, denting trading revenues, and increased regulations which are squeezing profits.

The SilverBoomBox will take our hip-hop night to Mumbai, New Delhi and Hyderabad.
Ever since we kicked off the NH7 Shakedown in June last year, the gig has become one of the few places to indulge in old-school hip-hop, R&B, funk and disco in the city. The gig has seen sets from the likes of homegrown hip-hop heroes including DJ Sa and Su-Real, alongside expert turntabling from the likes of DJ Uri. This month, the Shakedown goes international with acclaimed Japanese DJ Sarasa making her way to play three gigs around the country. Hip hop in India gets a shot in the arm this month with the NH7 Shakedown travelling to four cities for the first time.
Sarasa, aka SilverBoomBox, is a prolific DJ who's performed with the likes of Questlove, Lupe Fiasco, De La Soul and Grandmaster Flash. She grew up in New York and started DJing when she moved to Toronto while she was in college. Over the years, she's played shows around the world, released several acclaimed mixtapes and even started a lifestyle label called Mynority Classics. Her sets traverse hip-hop, funk, soul and house music, and she tailor makes her sets for gig she plays. In an interview with Acclaim Magazine, she says, "It all depends on what is going on around me, who is playing before me, and what music I am surrounded by at that time." Expect some expertly crafted sets from this Japanese party-starter at the Shakedown. Check out a recent set below.
Joining the SilverBoomBox at the Shakedown are a host of some of the country's best hip-hop DJs including DJ Uri, DJ Navendu and DJ Kan-i (who also played that bonkers adidas Originals Collision party at Dublin in Chennai (pictures). Check out all the dates for the NH7 Shakedown below and a poster for the gig that kicks it off in the capital on Friday.

with great saddness that today we inform you that in eight weeks time Angel Ark Crete will have no choice but to close it's gates for the very last time. We need your support more now than ever before. Over the past eight months the staff, volunteers and supporters of Angel Ark have shown 100% dedication and commitment to the animals. We have managed to tackle the majority of major problems that we faced in the beginning, this could not have been possible without the kind donations of the supporters of Angel Ark but after major negotiations with the owner of the land and a Greek lawyer we have no choice but to vacate the land.
We have found new land To rent...
Our lawyer can secure a 17 year lease on this new land, this enables us to ensure that any animals that are with us long term are safe and secure with the knowledge they will never lose their home. We can take some of the materials from the existing shelter but some things will have to be replaced, and of course we will need to move at
least 130 animals to the new location . The new kennels will be larger with an outdoor run attached to every one. There is also a small house located on the land that can be used for quarantine and storage. There is also room for a manager to live on site to give the animals 24/7 care. This will enable us to give the animals a better quality of life until they find their forever home. Please remember that nothing is impossible. We urgently need your help to keep these animals safe, any contribution,no matter how small, either through cash donation, materials or volunteering your time can make this project possible. The project is called Angel's Hope

Some shots from Ana Maria and Kevin's engagement session in and around Central Park NYC. Their wedding is around the corner! I can't wait!
Monthly Archives: July 2012
Just a few favorites from Bridget and Stephen's lovely wedding at the Phoenixville Foundry in Phoenixville PA.
..coming to the blog soon!
Here are some of my favorite photos from Lacey and Jorge's wedding. Although the rain was off and on, it still was gorgeous and they had a beautiful wedding. We managed to get some great shots at Gantry Park in Long Island City before heading over to their reception at the Sheraton Four Points Hotel. […]
I photographed Avi 2 years ago when he was just a few months old and now he's just recently turned 3 and is growing into such a handsome little boy. How time flies! (I also photographed his parents wedding 3 years ago!). Below are a few of my favorites from the session. Enjoy!

Badgers Top Flames, 75-53

Let $R$ be a rectangular region with sides $3$ and $4$. It is easy to show that for any $7$ points on $R$, there exists at least $2$ of them, namely $\{A,B\}$, with $d(A,B)\leq \sqrt{5}$. Just divide $R$ into six small rectangles with sides $2$ and $1$ and so at least one such rectangle must contain $2$ points from the seven ones. Thus the result follows.
Here is the question:
What about six points?
I believe that the same is true. How do I prove my belief?
ps: I don't want to find such $6$ points. I'd like to show it for any set with $6$ points.

Restaurant Week in New York City is ON! If you are a foodie — or want to try one of the city's best restaurants at a discount (and who doesn't LOVE A BARGAIN?) — it's time to get online or on the phone and make a reservation!
If you're a picky eater, this is a great way to try a restaurant that you have heard about but aren't sure if you'll like the cuisine. So why sink hundreds of dollars for dinner with wine at a place you might not like when you can give it a test-drive (albeit with a limited menu offering) for an incredibly affordable price. Let's face it, you would spend about the same amount at Houlihan's for an appetizer, entree, and a beer. And in this instance, we're talking about some of the most respected restaurants in the business. It's also a great deal for bargain hunters and name droppers who want to say they've dine at the 21 Club, Aureole, or Bar Boulud — and no one has to know you only paid $25!
You've got until March 7th to enjoy three-course meals priced at $25 for lunch or $38 for dinner. And if you want to save even more, register with your American Express card and get an additional $5 back!
Keep in mind that these prix fixe Restaurant Week offers are only available Monday through Friday. You can make reservations through OpenTable.com but better hurry as tables at the hottest spots go fast and first.

Taco Bell has been in the chain-restaurant news of late, with the introduction of a breakfast menu that quickly is developing a strong consumer following.
Next up, a return to paying attention to its wildly successful Doritos Locos Taco line.
In early May, a still-secret flavor will be added to the offerings since "Fiery" was added last August to the original Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch flavors.
Chris Brandt, Taco Bell's chief marketing officer, won't share details of the new offering yet, but he did say on Tuesday that "the innovation will be on the inside." That leaves a wide path for speculation.

Site CMN07: Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge
The Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge, purchased in 1969, was the first refuge in the nation created to protect critical habitat for bald eagles. The refuge lies next to Mason Neck State Park and protects a large patch of uninterrupted forest that stretches from Accotink Bay to Occoquan Bay. The Great Marsh Trail, 0.75 miles long, and the Woodmarsh Trail, 3 miles long, both have information kiosks at the trailheads. The trails meander through an oak-hickory forest to a tidal marsh along the Potomac River. Avian species diversity explodes during spring and fall migration, when migrant songbirds and hawks come through the refuge. The marsh offers spectacular views of bald eagles, osprey, terns, and wintering waterfowl.
From Pohick Bay Regional Park, return to SR 242/Gunston Road, turn left, and drive 1.1 miles to High Point Road. Continue 1.5 miles on Gunston Road to Great Marsh Trail (handicap accessible) or turn right onto High Point Road and drive 0.7 miles to the Woodmarsh Trail of the Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge.

My Husband's Planner
I bought this planner for my husband a little less than 25 years ago. He used it sporadically for about 6 months. I took it over and have used it since. I tried the Palm Pilot for a while, (He purchased it for me.) and I couldn't wait to put it in a drawer and go back to Bosca Planner. I tried the iPhone too-no way! I keep the past calendars as a journal/diary of our family. I will continue with this format as long as I can get a refill, so keep printing!! Oh, and it's still in great shape.

The best!
I have had my Bosca Day Timer for over 20 years now and it is still in excellent shape! I have been able to get a refill calendar every year and when necessary have gotten address books or refill tablets as well. You can not ask for better service than to be able to purchase exactly what you need for over 20 years! Thank you!

I have used the Bosca calendar since 1997. I have had the same leather case since that time and it is wonderful shape. I have used if for 16 years and know I will be able to use it for at least another 30 years. I like the way the calendar is set up, the space and information provided and the attention to detail. This is an excellent product at a great price.
October 12, 2013
An excellent product.
I have used these calendars for years in several leather Bosca binders, which are also excellent products. The calendars are functional, easy to use and contain a great deal of information such as international holidays and area codes. Overall, an excellent product.

Review of Monthly Minder Refill
After college graduation, I landed a job in NYC right in the heart of mid-town. I received my first paycheck and wanted to celebrate by buying something "professional". So I went into Bloomingdales and purchased a beautiful black leather Bosca planner, complete with an Address Book and Day Calendar. That was 20 years ago!! Today I own a thriving business and rely on my planner every day to help me organize work/life balance. Despite the electronic and digital age we are living in, I still prefer to open my perfect little black book and scribble my daily and weekly activities and reminders. I highly recommend this product and hope it brings 20 years of organized living to many career-minded professionals everywhere!

Great Old School Day Book
Not being too fond of electronic devices, I have used this organizer for more than 20 years. It is exceedingly well formatted and up to the exeellent standards of BOSCA quality ... very simple, easy to use with some helpful information regarding holidays and such.
October 9, 2013
Love My Bosca Calendar
I bought this leather yearly calendar many years ago and it's held up very well as it's so well-made. I refill every year with the monthly minder refill (and every few years I replace the address book) and it's perfect for helping me stay organized. It's compact, convenient and I really like the layout.
October 9, 2013
Very handy and usable calendar
I began using the Bosca monthly calendar in the leather binder in 2005. I find it to be a very handy and usable planning aid. In additional to being usable, it is attractive to carry to meetings and professional gatherings. It also becomes a handy archives for past events. A great planning document. Very convenient size.
October 9, 2013
Very Good, except for price
I have used this refill since I was given my daily planner leather book in high school (1973).
I use my planner everyday. I can only complain about the cost. I think that's a lot of money for a refill. I have searched stores looking for a less expensive refill but have been unable to find one that works with my leather book.

My Brain
This leather covered calendar is what keeps me sane and organized and saves me many embarrassing moments by helping me to remember everything I have done and will need to do. I commonly refer to it as "my brain", especially when I cannot find it. All family members including grandchildren know exactly what I mean when I exclaim "Where is my brain?". It has been an essential part of my daily life for over twenty years!

I've had my Bosca for over 8 years and use it on a daily basis. It's a bit scratched but otherwise looks good. The stitching has held and the snap still works which is remarkable. I use both the month-at-a-glance page and individual pages in the refill. I use the 3-month view at the bottom of the page frequently.

To say our emotions have been out of whack over the last week is an understatement. Yes, we've been crying at the appropriate times (new episodes of Parenthood; following the news that Hostess was folding) but we've also felt tears start to build during non-crises and everyday tasks as simple as crossing the street. If Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are no more, then why should one wait for the "walk" signal? We're all headed to the same place—a loveless, baggy/skinny sweatpants factory in the sky—anyway.
At Sunday's American Music Awards, Bieber brought his mom Pattie Mallette as his date, perhaps to show what a "good" guy he is and how Barbara Palvin is NOT (yet) a go-to plus one, before enjoying the embarrassment of riches his Beliebers and the AMAs bestowed upon him. Throughout it all, there were a few standout moments that suggested he had Selena on his mind: a shout-out to the haters and "I love you, too" during his acceptance speech; an emotional acoustic performance of "As Long As You Love Me"; the inclusion of Nicki Minaj's "Selener" reference in "Beauty and a Beat."
This explains the less than convincing body roll, and why the Bieb recoiled at Jenny McCarthy—disappointing every avid viewer of Singled Out—when she went in for a kiss.
But was it enough for reconciliation? Maybe! Word that the two were spotted together after the show (yes, that's Selena's hand on Bieb's arm) further blurs their current relationship status and continues to tear us up inside. How are we supposed to appropriately asses our social media allegiances if these two keep breaking up and reuniting? Did Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Getting Back Together" teach you anything, Selena?
In times of trouble, and whenever he needs a new song, Bieber turns to his mom, who was also spotted with the maybe-happy maybe-couple Sunday night. She's been a fan of the former Wizards of Waverly Place star from a start, and knows the perils of young love all too well. Could a few hours of purring advice into her boy's ear in front of Pitbull and Psy have finally led him fully understand Selena's wants and needs? Just 24 hours ago they were separated by a giant gate; now they've made physical contact.
As a friend of Tish Cyrus, Ms. Mallette is no stranger to dysfunctional relationships. So tell us what to think here, Pattie. You're a published author, whose refined Canadian wisdom obviously leads to great things.

2010 Colorado State Cylocross Championships Coverage
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Weather is always a big question mark in the winter months in Colorado. It could be sunny and 50 or it could be 20 degrees with 30mph winds and snow. The 2010 Colorado State Cyclocross Championships day 1 saw very nice weather, fast course conditions and large field sizes with over 100 racers in the 35+/4s and close to 100 in the Mens 35+ Open field. These conditions are far different from the 2009 edition. For the first time the event is being broken into two days allowing riders to race both days. It looks like Sunday's weather will be a little cooler but still dry.
Well our polls for the Mens Open and Womens Open were pretty close. Jake Wells ended up second with Brandon Dwight winning the race and Pete Weber rounding out the top three. For the women Nicole Duke led start to finish with Lisa Strong and Amber Rydholm rounding out the top three.

Men's Tennis Downed By UW-Green Bay in Horizon League Semifinals, 4-3
April 24, 2004
2004 Horizon League Men's Tennis Championship Day One Bracket in PDF Format
Indianapolis, Ind.- The University of Illinois at Chicago men's tennis team got off to an outstanding start at the Horizon League Men's Tennis Championships tournament, downing Wright State 4-2 in the first round, but the Flames' dream of the school's first men's tennis conference championship was ousted in heartbreaking fashion by UW-Green Bay in the semifinals as the Phoenix snuck out with a 4-3 win on a dreary Saturday afternoon in Indianapolis.
UIC was paced by Horizon League Newcomer of the Year and All-League First Team selection Artsem Burmistrau, who played through an ankle injury to exact revenge on UW-Green Bay's Ben Davis, who defeated Burmistrau a week earlier, with a 6-2, 6-3 victory.
The Flames, who lost a close doubles point to the Phoenix in their matchup last Friday, took the point with an 8-6 win by Burmistrau and Karol Zarucki over Davis and Mat Weiss and an 8-2 slam of Derek Gonwa and Eric Hines by the UIC duo of All-League Second Teamer Paul Glendenning and Sean Kreymborg.
Outside of Burmistrau's singles win, only Kreymborg could post an individual win as the freshman downed Weiss in a back-and-forth 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 win in three sets.
It was tough luck for the Flames in three other matches as Zarucki, John Cincola and Pat Zufan were downed in air-tight three-set battles.
Zarucki was defeated by Tyler Dorn 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, while Cincola was edged by Jarett Cascino 6-3, 6-7 (8-6) 7-6 (9-7). Zufan took the first set in his match against Scott Dickert, but Dickert helped the Phoenix move on with 6-1, 6-4 wins in the final two frames.
UW-Green Bay moves on to face defending league champion Butler tommorrow at 9:00 a.m.
UIC came into their battle with the Phoenix with confidence after moving onto the semfinals with an abbreviated 4-2 win over the Raiders that was delayed by rain. The Flames were able to push the Raiders out of the tourney despite playing the singles slate of their Wright State matchup without an ailing Burmistrau.
Wright State took the first two singles contests against Zarucki and Cincola, but Kreymborg and Zufan added singles wins to a default win at No. 6 singles and the doubles point to give the Flames the win.
UIC wil close out their season on Sunday against Cleveland State, who was eliminated by Butler in a 4-0 loss, in the league's third-place match at 9:00 a.m.

Michelle Obama: First Lady, style icon and the epitome of a strong, black woman.
While many wonder what she will do next, or what she'll have on next, others ask who's responsible for her flawless hairstyles.
LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook! Get Your Daily Medicine…For LIFE!
Johnny Wright, the First Lady's exclusive hairstylist, and artistic style director for SoftSheen-Carson, is the First Lady's go-to guy when it comes to maintaining her perpetually polished look. The Chicago native says, "Hair is just like any other accessory. You've really got to make it go with what you're wearing."
Check out Johnny's tips for rocking a presidential-worthy hairstyle:
Know Your Style:
"Some styles are made for hair only when it's blown-out straight. You want a cut that's made for both curly and straight looks," Johnny says. "If you're concerned with how your hair will look wavy, ask your stylist to cut it when it's curly, and then blow it out and fine tune when it's straight."
Embrace The "Up-Tuck" Style:
"I'm a big fan of what I call the up-tuck. It works very well with face-framing layers, which most people have. You pin-up all the hair in the back, and then let the front fall naturally. It's like you've gotten a haircut. You kind of fake them out a little bit, and it's a great way to add versatility to your look."

Talledega's reputation for having the biggest crashes in Nashville went untarnished during the Aaron's 499 yesterday, beginning with a collision between between Danica Patrick and Brad Keselowski during lap 14 of the 188-lap race. At the time Paul Menard was on the outside, with Keselowski running between him and Patrick, when Brad's No. 2 Ford hit Danica's No. 10 Chevy, and went spinning into the apron. He then tore down the track, barely missing Trevor Bayne. Patrick's car was not damaged and she, too, was able to resume her run. Although she became the first female to lead laps at Talledega when she passed Menard on lap 6, she eventually finished in 22nd place.
"I was running the bottom and feeling like I was about to get hung out, when he went up to the outside and I was looking in my mirror to see if I was clear of Jeff Gordon's No. 24 to slot in," she recalled after the race. "I was moving to get in the lane, and thought Keselowski had enough momentum to get passed me. I really don't know if it was my fault or not. But if it was, it was not an intentional move on my part," she continued.
While the pair was lucky enough not to cause any pile-ups at the time, Keselowski's aggression on the track was the catalyst for a major 14-car crash with 50 laps remaining in the race. Among those forced to pit for repairs were leaders Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, and Tony Stewart. In fact, Stewart's car was so badly damaged that he was unable to return to the track and ended up scoring dead last. Jimmie Johnson and pole-winner Brian Scott were also caught up in the crash.
In the end, Denny Hamlin survived to win the Aaron's 499, followed by Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer, Brian Vickers and A.J. Allmendinger for the top five finishers.

The term "community" is getting more sophisticated every day. The world of open source and Linux development is a mix of full time corporate developers, volunteer hackers, non-profit .orgs, standards bodies, and more. Together these entities need to work together to create the "plumbing of Linux"
According to the Plumbers web site, Jonathan Corbet calls this the "kernel ecosystem". They call it "plumbing" which is is a collection of essential interfaces and services that are provided by the libraries, kernel, and utilities that make up a Linux system. Currently if a problem exists that involves kernel and user space, a developer must attend three different conferences in order to have the face-to-face contact with various stakeholders that is necessary to find a solution.
The Linux Plumbers Conference [1]was created to provide a forum for communication and problem- solving for issues, which are system-wide and cross project boundaries. This community event includes both invited guests as well as open registration, gathering 300 stakeholders, decision makers and developers.
Better cross project collaboration is something that is critical to sustain and enhance the community development process that makes up the platform. This conference is just what is needed to up the "open" world's game and bring more people and organizations to join the development party.

Be prepared for laughs–good hearty laughs–but with a price, because Neil LaBute's play, Fat Pig, that opened Feb. 7 at The Living Room confronts honesty–brutal honesty– as each of four characters displays harsh looks at their hidden insecurities as their safety net layers slowly bubble to the surface.
LaBute's play sets the audience on edge from the initial entrance of Helen, deftly portrayed by Kenzie West. Helen enters, mostly faces away from the audience to eat her tray of pizza, salad, dessert at a solitary table to set the theme of loneliness and trained, forced isolation. Audiences feel the pain from the beginning, and then, enter Tom, played by Bob Linebarger, an uncomfortable gentleman out for a lunch and looking for any vacant seat to enjoy his lunch. To his dissatisfaction, the only available seat lies next to Helen, the "Fat Pig" of the play title.
Pushing the envelope characterizes LaBute's work, but the printed word needs skill and gentle massage to transform it from print to live action. No one pushes the envelope like director, Bryan Moses can and always does. Fat Pig is an amazing show and the playwright had the audience on an edge from the beginning. Great staging and direction from Moses enhanced the incredible acting. Fat Pig looks brutally into some far too real characters. Moses' eyes twinkle when he sinks his teeth into an edgy piece. Audiences experience his edgy style from the get-go in Fat Pig. Not only does he create the mood of awkwardness and isolation immediately, his choice of actors makes the play spring to life.
The Living Room's limited space and seating might pose a threat for many shows, but for Fat Pig, "promenade style" met patrons at the door when they were asked to check their coats because they would physically move throughout the theater space to different scenes and setting throughout both acts.
Kenzie West deserves heaps of praise for a bravura, overweight character that confronts all the slings and arrows aimed at larger people. She typifies what every overweight person experiences. She puts a face and character to what some celebrities experience when they wear a "fat suit" and then go out in public to record reactions. Her words, smile, joking, and personality mask the insecurities, pain, and heartbreak buried within. She takes the audience along her journey in the play.
As her boyfriend, Tom, Bob Linebarger, provides some of the most uncomfortable and awkward first meeting dialogue one can imagine. No one can avoid his charming shtick as a bashful guy who meets an amazing person over lunch. As their relationship grows the audience sees more what reality holds and outside pressures create. Linebarger shines and brings so many laughs to the show. His character is the focus of all the other character's character flaws. He handles each situation with his nervously funny character with a non-penetrateable security wall.
As Jeanne, Liz Golson, takes the audience on a crash course of vulnerability, obsessive/compulsive behavior, rejection, and bullying and wounded pride. Golson works her way thought all of the emotional quirks of the character in big departure from the normal musical comedy roles usually associated with her. She brings her "A" game to the comedy/drama. Expect to feel her pain, her discomfort while laughing at the character's antics.
Tom's foil, Carter, portrayed with flair by Matthew James McAndrews, allows the Id of everyone's Freudian to speak and act with reckless abandon. No doubt about it, the character is an ass. He's everyone's worst nightmare. Tom represents the worst characteristics most shield from society. He says what most think but never verbalize. Tom represents all the unacceptable verbalizations and actions that society hopes never come out in public. McAndrews is superb as the unleashed character. He's funny, he's crude, and he's the epitome of the person no one wants as a friend. Count on him to deliver a strong character.
Top to bottom, watch for a well-conceived performance. All characters are strong and the direction brings out the laughter and pain of all characters. Watch them work their way through Fat Pig with confidence.
Fat Pig runs weekends through Feb. 5-23 at The Living Room. For tickets, check the website: thelivingroom.com

Gateshead Release Seven
Gateshead manager Anth Smith has released seven players; four strikers, two defenders and a utility player.
The most high profile departure is former Oxford United and Stevenage forward Yemi Odubade who has spent the second half of the season on loan at Forest Green Rovers.
Odubade has spent the last two years at Gateshead but has been limited to 14 starts and ten appearances off the bench this season.
Summer signings, Londoners Chris Bush and Glenn Wilson, are two more players not offered new contracts.
Bush played the first ten games of the 2012/13 campaign at either left-back or centre-back before he was sent off at Woking.
The 20-year-old did not feature in the second half of the season and had spells on loan at Lincoln City and Hereford United.
Wilson made only seven starts and four appearances off the bench after he joined Gateshead from Crawley Town and joined Salisbury City on loan in January.
Striker Nathan Fisher has spent the last three years at Gateshead and made 86 appearances, a significant amount off the bench.
Fisher, 23, has had his career at Gateshead blighted by injury and played 25 games this season, 14 of them off the bench.
Gateshead-born front man Liam Henderson was initially brought to Gateshead on loan from York City by previous manager Ian Bogie in November.
New manager Anth Smith then gave the 24-year-old a permanent deal until the end of the season.
Henderson, who made 21 substitute appearances for Watford in the Championship earlier in his career, played 13 games for home town club Gateshead.
Seven of those were as a substitute and his only goal came in the 2-0 final day win over Ebbsfleet United.
Former Grimsby Town right-sided player Peter Bore joined Gateshead in January from Lincoln City and played ten games but has not had his contract renewed.
Young front man Ryan McGorrigan had two spells at Gateshead, first under Bogie and then Smith, but was limited to just two starts.
In between times the Newcastle United trainee played for Blyth Spartans in the Evo-Stik Premier League.
Left-back Paddy Boyle, meanwhile, has completed his two half season loans from Dunfermline Athletic and striker Ben Everson has gone back to parent club York City.
