Summaries for PRKAA2 Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is a catalytic subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a heterotrimer consisting of an alpha catalytic subunit, and non-catalytic beta and gamma subunits. AMPK is an important energy-sensing enzyme that monitors cellular energy status. In response to cellular metabolic stresses, AMPK is activated, and thus phosphorylates and inactivates acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and beta-hydroxy beta-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), key enzymes involved in regulating de novo biosynthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this catalytic subunit may control whole-body insulin sensitivity and is necessary for maintaining myocardial energy homeostasis during ischemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for PRKAA2 Gene
PRKAA2 (Protein Kinase, AMP-Activated, Alpha 2 Catalytic Subunit) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with PRKAA2 include wolff-parkinson-white syndrome and aromatase deficiency. Among its related pathways are PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and Signaling by GPCR. GO annotations related to this gene include transferase activity, transferring phosphorus-containing groups and protein tyrosine kinase activity. An important paralog of this gene is NUAK1.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for PRKAA2 Gene
Catalytic subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensor protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating cellular energy metabolism. In response to reduction of intracellular ATP levels, AMPK activates energy-producing pathways and inhibits energy-consuming processes: inhibits protein, carbohydrate and lipid biosynthesis, as well as cell growth and proliferation. AMPK acts via direct phosphorylation of metabolic enzymes, and by longer-term effects via phosphorylation of transcription regulators. Also acts as a regulator of cellular polarity by remodeling the actin cytoskeleton; probably by indirectly activating myosin. Regulates lipid synthesis by phosphorylating and inactivating lipid metabolic enzymes such as ACACA, ACACB, GYS1, HMGCR and LIPE; regulates fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis by phosphorylating acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACACA and ACACB) and hormone-sensitive lipase (LIPE) enzymes, respectively. Regulates insulin-signaling and glycolysis by phosphorylating IRS1, PFKFB2 and PFKFB3. Involved in insulin receptor/INSR internalization (PubMed:25687571). AMPK stimulates glucose uptake in muscle by increasing the translocation of the glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, possibly by mediating phosphorylation of TBC1D4/AS160. Regulates transcription and chromatin structure by phosphorylating transcription regulators involved in energy metabolism such as CRTC2/TORC2, FOXO3, histone H2B, HDAC5, MEF2C, MLXIPL/ChREBP, EP300, HNF4A, p53/TP53, SREBF1, SREBF2 and PPARGC1A. Acts as a key regulator of glucose homeostasis in liver by phosphorylating CRTC2/TORC2, leading to CRTC2/TORC2 sequestration in the cytoplasm. In response to stress, phosphorylates Ser-36 of histone H2B (H2BS36ph), leading to promote transcription. Acts as a key regulator of cell growth and proliferation by phosphorylating TSC2, RPTOR and ATG1/ULK1: in response to nutrient limitation, negatively regulates the mTORC1 complex by phosphorylating RPTOR component of the mTORC1 complex and by phosphorylating and activating TSC2. In response to nutrient limitation, promotes autophagy by phosphorylating and activating ATG1/ULK1. AMPK also acts as a regulator of circadian rhythm by mediating phosphorylation of CRY1, leading to destabilize it. May regulate the Wnt signaling pathway by phosphorylating CTNNB1, leading to stabilize it. Also phosphorylates CFTR, EEF2K, KLC1, NOS3 and SLC12A1. Plays an important role in the differential regulation of pro-autophagy (composed of PIK3C3, BECN1, PIK3R4 and UVRAG or ATG14) and non-autophagy (composed of PIK3C3, BECN1 and PIK3R4) complexes, in response to glucose starvation. Can inhibit the non-autophagy complex by phosphorylating PIK3C3 and can activate the pro-autophagy complex by phosphorylating BECN1 (By similarity).
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a heterodimeric protein serine/threonine kinase that is composed of alpha- (catalytic) and beta/gamma- (regulatory) subunits. AMPK acts as a sensor of the energy status of cells and ensures survival during times of cellular metabolic stress.

Tax Talk,
I understand that when selling a home, you are not obligated to
pay taxes on up to $500,000 of proceeds assuming the seller is married
and has lived in the home for two out of five years prior. However,
let's say you have $600,000 equity in your home. A few months prior
to selling, you cash out $100,000 in equity by refinancing. Now
you are back to having $500,000 in equity. Would this exercise be
a possible solution to avoid paying the capital gains taxes on the
sale of your home? Thank you in advance. Best regards.
-- John
You're confusing equity with gains. The exclusion of $500,000 for
a married couple applies to the gain on the sale of the home and
not the proceeds or the equity. Gain is the difference between the
selling price of the property and the cost of the property, plus
improvements plus buying and selling expenses. The gain does not
change by financing or refinancing arrangements.
If you refinance as you suggest,
the $100,000 that you pull out is not taxable income. Instead it's
a loan. If you use the $100,000 to improve the home, then the improvements
are added to your cost. However, if you use it to buy a car or consolidate
debts or just put it in the bank, then your cost in the property
is not changed. When you later sell the property, your proceeds
from the sale will be reduced by the $100,000 that you previously
borrowed, but since you already received that money without paying
taxes you cannot count it as a cost of the property.
There's no safe bet in trying to shelter gain in excess
of $500,000 on the sale of a home. Some people suggest selling it
to a relative when you're close to reaching the gain limit of $500,000
and then reacquiring it later. Whether this will fly with the IRS
is not yet proven. However, it's probably a safe bet that they won't
like it.

the Experts" page, and select "taxes" as the topic.

The Pittsbrugh Steelers' LaMarr Woodley was pretty upset over Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice's perceived desecration of the the vaunted Steelers "Terrible Towel", and made it known on Twitter:
"If youre not a steelers fan, dont put your hands on a terrible towel" @LaMarrWoodley, Nov. 19th
Ray Rice says he didn't mean any disrespect, and rather than going back and forth with Woodley, he explained that he traded his gloves with a fan for the towel, and apologized.
"I apologize to those who saw it as disrespectful. For me, I thought it was a pretty cool gesture, exchanging my gloves with a fan and walking out with it. Obviously, getting a victory there was cool and I leave it in the past. Their fans are great, the organization is great and the rivalry is always going to continue to be great," according to to a story by Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun.
"To have something in your basement to know what the rivalry is all about is pretty cool. I've been exchanging jerseys with guys. My basement is geting pretty colorful down there with other teams' stuff. [Having the towel was] not maliciously, just more out of respect."
There you have it; now let's move on.

Probability and Statistics
At a Glance - Bar Graphs and Histograms
Remember the difference between discrete and continuous data: discrete data has clear separation between the different possible values, while continuous data doesn't. We use bar graphs for displaying discrete data, and histograms for displaying continuous data. A bar graph has nothing to do with pubs, and a histogram is not someone you hire to show up at your friend's front door and sing to them about the French Revolution.
We'll do bar graphs first.
Sample Problem
The colors of students' backpacks are recorded as follows:
red, green, red, blue, black, blue, blue, blue, red, blue, blue, black
Draw a bar graph for this data.
The values observed were red, green, blue, and black. If we had bins marked "red,'' "green,'' "blue,'' and "black,'' we could sort the backpacks into the appropriate bins. After doing this, how many backpacks would be in each bin?
Looks like most of these kids are singin' the blues.
A bar graph is a visual way of displaying what the data looks like after it's been sorted. We start with axes. The graph kind, not the "I want to be a lumberjack" kind. The horizontal axis has the names of the bins (in this case, the colors), and the vertical axis is labelled "Quantity":
Above each bin (color) we put a bar whose height is the number of things in that bin (backpacks of that color):
Since we're super fancy, we'll also color the bars different colors.
The advantage of doing this is that you won't wear your black crayon down to its nub and be left with a box full of unused colors. Time to let "chartreuse" see the light of day. If you're not using crayons, please disregard.
The bar graph shows what things would look like if we stacked up the backpacks in their respective bins. You'll need to imagine the zippers and pockets though. We won't be drawing those in the graph.
Check this out for a silly—yet oddly entertaining—way to comprehend bar graphs.
Sample Problem
A fruit basket contains four kiwis, eight apples, six bananas, and one dragonfruit.
Draw a bar graph for the kinds of fruit in the basket. If the dragonfruit gets angry, just feed it one of the kiwis. They love New Zealanders.
If we sort the fruit into bins, we'll need bins for kiwis, apples, bananas, and dragonfruit, so the bar graph axes will look like this:
Sorting the fruit into the appropriate bins gives us this bar graph:
A bar graph makes it easy to see at a glance which bin has the most objects and which bin has the fewest objects. By the way, don't bother going to your local Target and trying to get more bins. We've cleaned them out.
Sample Problem
A survey was conducted of 79 kids at a local swimming pool to find their favorite hot-weather refreshment. Use the bar graph below to answer the questions.
- How many kids said ice cream was their favorite hot weather refreshment?
- Which refreshment was the favorite of exactly 20 kids?
- Which was more popular, popsicles or ice water?
- How many kids said hot coffee was their favorite hot weather refreshment?
- 40, since that's the height of the bar in the "ice cream" bin.
- Soda, since there are 20 kids in the "soda" bin.
- Popsicles, since the bar above "popsicles" is slightly taller than the bar above "ice water."
- Only one, but we felt like he was probably messing with us, so we'll throw out that result.
Now for histograms. Histograms are used for displaying data where the separation between "bins" is not so clear, and we need to make decisions about what bins we'd like to use. We hate making decisions though, which is why we're going to keep our Magic 8-Ball within reach, just in case.
Sample Problem
A bunch of fish were caught in a lake. Don't worry, we'll throw them back in after we're done with this example. The lengths of the fish, in inches, were
6.2, 6.2, 6.55, 7, 7.4, 8.5, 8.6, 9, 9.1, 9.2, 9.25, 9.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6.
Make some histograms to display this data.
Let's make a histogram where the first bin contains all fish that are at least 6 but not more than 7 inches, the next contains all fish that are at least 7 but not more than 8 inches, and so on. That way, we won't have any long fish in with any short fish, and we don't need to worry about any of them getting inch envy. How many fish are in each bin?
To draw the histogram, we draw something that looks very much like a bar graph. The axes are labelled similarly, and the height of each bar corresponds to the number of fish in the bin. The bars are touching because there is no clear separation between different bins (there's not much difference between a fish 7 inches long and a fish 6.999 inches long, although one of them does get to go on a few more amusement park rides).
The bins we picked for the histogram were arbitrary. We could just as well draw a histogram where the bins held fish that were 6 to 6.5 inches, 6.5 to 7 inches, and so on. We just don't like to use half-inches if we can help it, because we don't want to encourage decimal points. They already insert themselves far too often.
We use the word interval to refer to the "size'' of the bins in a histogram. In the first histogram we drew for the fish lengths, the bins were 1 inch (6 to 7 inches, 7 to 8 inches, etc.). In the second histogram the bins were inch.
As the interval becomes smaller, the histogram gives a closer, more precise picture of what the data looks like. In the histogram with interval 1 inch, we could see that there were 5 fish between 9 and 10 inches. In the histogram with interval inch, we see that those 5 fish are actually between 9 and 9.5 inches. The smaller the interval we use for the histogram, the more we know about the data from the picture. If we were to use a large enough interval, we could throw all the fish into a single bin and let someone else figure it out. Wouldn't make our graph particularly interesting or tell us very much about the fish, though.
There's nothing particularly special about intervals of 1 or . We could use other intervals just as well.
Remember: when putting data into the bins, if a number is on the boundary between two bins, we put it into the bin on the right. If the bins are 6 to 7, and 7 to 8, then the number 7 goes in the bin from 7 to 8. It can laugh all it wants at its 6.999 friend from there.
Now that we've built both bar graphs and histograms, let's revisit the differences between them. Some differences are more important than others. The fact that bar graphs drink Coke while histograms prefer Pepsi, for example, is irrelevant.
Bar graphs
- are drawn to display discrete data.
- have "bins'' that can be figured out easily by looking at the data (colors, or genres, or dollars).
- usually have white space between the bars, but the bars can be touching (not super important).
- can be used to compare a small number of values (allowance per person, or income per company).
- are drawn to display continuous data.
- can have whatever "bins'' you want, depending on how detailed you want the histogram to be.
- have their bars touching; might be a good idea to use bar sanitizer to prevent the spread of germs.
Example 1
Tim gets $5 per week, Penelope gets $10 per week, and Lu gets $7 per week. Not because Penelope is older or works the hardest. Her parents just like her best.
Compare the weekly allowances of the children using a bar graph.
Example 2
The salaries of three employees are compared in the bar graph below. Use the bar graph to answer the questions.
Example 3
Different cats were weighed. We had a tough time getting them all to sit on the scale without scratching us half to death. Anyway, we finally found them to have the following weights, in pounds.
(a) Draw a histogram for the data with interval 1 pound.
Example 4
Use the histogram to answer the following questions.
Exercise 1
Make a bar graph for the following set of data:
Trianna's bookshelf contains 40 mysteries, 30 science fiction books, 10 non-fiction books, 50 comic books, and 5 dictionaries.
Exercise 2
Make a bar graph for the following set of data:
Some kids were surveyed about their favorite flavors of ice cream. The answers were chocolate, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, vanilla, strawberry, strawberry, vanilla, vanilla, and vanilla. What, have these kids never heard of cookie dough or cake batter? Hey kids...get out more.
Exercise 3
Make a bar graph for the following set of data:
Company A makes $100,000 per year. Company B makes $200,000 per year and Company C makes $1,000,000 per year. We'd like a job at Company C, please.
Exercise 4
Determine if a bar graph or a histogram should be used to display the data. Explain your answer.
A group of kids were asked for their favorite colors: 10 said red, 5 said orange, 5 said yellow, 1 said green, 15 said blue, and 5 said purple. Let's assume none of them were lying.
Exercise 5
Determine if a bar graph or a histogram should be used to display the data. Explain your answer.
Some fish were weighed, and their weights were found to be 6 oz, 6.5 oz, 7 oz, 7.2 oz, 7.3 oz, and 8 oz. Go easy on the 8 oz. one... he's trying to cut back on the algae.
Exercise 6
Determine if a bar graph or a histogram should be used to display the data. Explain your answer.
Happy Meals, Inc. charges $3 for a happy meal while Fast Food Fishes charges $2 for a happy meal. Don't figure in the money spent in the lawsuit over permissions to use the term "happy meal."

Since its inception in 2006, six SRTP graduates have gone on to create their own shows and/or have been elevated to executive producers, including such members as show creators Sam Baum (Lie to Me), David Hudgins (Past Life), Glen Mazzara (Crash; Hawthorne), Matt Nix (Code 58, Burn Notice), Jon Steinberg (Human Target), Janet Tamaro (The C Word), and executive producers Steve Callahan (Family Guy), Jennifer Johnson (Cold Case), Scott Rosenbaum (V), John Stephens (Gossip Girl), and Darren Swimmer & Todd Slavkin (Melrose Place). This year's current participants, Matt Corman & Chris Ord, just received a series order for USA's Covert Affairs.
"I was thrilled to be a part of the 2009 Showrunner Training Program," said SRTP graduate David Hudgins, whose freshman show, Past Life, premieres February 11th on Fox. "The information I learned and the friendships I made were invaluable, and helped me greatly when my pilot was picked up. I think the SRTP experience made me much better prepared for running my own show."
"I can't think of a more important, valuable or worthwhile opportunity for aspiring writers than the Showrunner Training Program," said Warner Bros. Television President Peter Roth, who participated as one of the keynote speakers during the kickoff session in early January. "From my perspective, it should be a requirement for everyone – executives, writers, and anyone who aspires towards making better, more compelling, more efficiently produced television. This outstanding workshop, led by some of the best, most talented, most knowledgeable, most proven showrunners in the business, is a gift for any writer who dreams of one day becoming and, more importantly, succeeding, as a showrunner."
Each year's program features high-profile speakers from various areas of the industry. This year's 45 speakers include Steve Levitan, Shawn Ryan, Joss Whedon, Bill Lawrence, Phil Rosenthal, David Shore, Jason Katims, Paris Barclay, Ian Maxtone-Graham, Matt Nix, Yvette Lee Bowser, Glen Mazzara, Lifetime Television President JoAnn Alfano, and actor Blair Underwood. Additional sessions include other industry professionals such as actors, directors, and teamsters, as well as a visit to a post production facility with presentations from editors and Alicia Hirsch, Senior VP of Post Production at Fox Television Studios.
During the January 9th opening session, titled "From Writer to Manager," WGAW Assistant Executive Director Ann Widdifield welcomed the diverse group of SRTP participants. Keynote speakers included Roth, SRTP program co-founder and chair Jeff Melvoin (Army Wives), and SRTP co-founder and WGAW President John Wells (Southland, ER, The West Wing). The second session, "Managing Writers & the Script Process," held this past Saturday, included presentations from Bill Lawrence, Yvette Lee Bowser, and Glen Mazzara, and panel discussions on Diverse Writing Staffs and Running the Writing Room.
"In the fifth year of the program it's exciting to see that more and more shows are able to increase the number of properly trained executive producers," said Wells.
"The Showrunner Training Program has been universally well-received. The Program is a great example of the Guild and the networks working cooperatively for the benefit of the television community," said Widdifield. "We are grateful for the generous participation of our showrunners and the funding provided by the companies which make this program possible."
Upcoming SRTP sessions are all-day seminars on four Saturdays, running through February 20. Employing lecture and interactive test-case scenarios, as well as large and small group discussions, the program gives participants an intimate setting to interact with some of Hollywood's most successful and experienced showrunners.
The innovative program's core curriculum includes the following topics:
The program also includes two half-day "break-out" sessions with Wells talking about "Budget & Scheduling," and Stephen J. Cannell (The Rockford Files, Wiseguy) on "The Pilot Process."
To select participants, writers on the Showrunner Training Program Committee considered more than 60 eligible applicants and accepted 21 writers and/or writing teams, all of whom were recommended by television showrunners and/or network and studio creative executives for the in-demand seminar slots covering both comedy and dramatic series.
The Showrunner Training Program is the brainchild of Jeff Melvoin and John Wells. Melvoin and Wells, along with other SRTP committee members, as well as program director Carole Kirschner, played integral roles in developing the Guild's current program. In addition to Wells and Melvoin, the SRTP Committee includes showrunners Bowser, John Wirth, and Nicole Yorkin. Also on the SRTP committee are television executives Harry Isaacs (CBS) and Marc Sandman (Touchstone), who continue to serve as program consultants.

Bill Clinton
The spouse | Bill Clinton, 60
Day job | Founder of his philanthropic organization
The candidate | Senator Hillary Clinton, 59 (D.-N.Y.)
On his role if Hillary is elected
"I think, in general, former presidents should do whatever the current president asks them to do, if they can do it in good conscience, anybody. If President Bush asked me to do something, if I can do it in good conscience, I would do it. You know, his father and I did the Katrina work, the tsunami work. And I have done two or three other things for [George W. Bush]. You know, I love [Hillary] very much. And I think she would be a great president. And all presidents need help. They need all the help they can get. And we're going to have a lot of challenges. So if she asked me to do something, whatever it was, I would probably do it. But I — I hope I won't have to give up the work I do now entirely. I'd like to continue my foundation work around the world. But I want to be there for her. She — if the America people select her, I'm going to do everything I can to be there for her.''

On the transparency of marriage
"After being married for nearly 30 years and observing my friends' experiences with separations, reconciliations, and divorces, I've learned that marriage, with all its magic and misery, its contentments and disappointments, remains a mystery, not easy for those in it to understand and largely inaccessible to outsiders."

Hospital Sued for Charging Patients 18% Interest
More news today from the turbulent world of medical debt. Minnesota's attorney general is suing the biggest hospital system in the Twin Cities, alleging that Allina Hospitals & Clinics is violating a state law by charging patients excessive interest on unpaid bills.
"Allina has dug a deeper financial hole for patients facing tough economic times by charging usurious interest rates of up to 18 percent on medical bills," AG Lori Swanson said in a statement.
The hospital system says it told the AG in December it had decided to lower the maximum interest rate to 8%. The nonprofit pointed out that it offers free care to those with incomes less than 2.75 times the federal poverty line, and argued that it never violated state law.
The AG wants the hospital to give a refund to patients who paid interest she says is excessive. The legal debate turns on whether the hospital's debt program constitutes an "open-ended credit plan" under state law, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. The law allows such plans to charge 18% interest.

New cmake options for JSON UDFs.
By Sveta Smirnova-Oracle on Dec 11, 2013
Two weeks ago I announced new maintenance release of JSON UDFs: 0.2.1. It not only contains bug fixes, how you can expect from a maintenance release, but also contains improvements in build and test scripts.
First improvement is the easier way to build JSON UDFs on Windows. In the first version building on Windows was a pane: you had to build PCRE library, copy four files to directories where Visual Studio can find them and only then build JSON functions themselves. Now you can build this way too, but only if you really wish.
By default cmake will create appropriate makefiles for bundled PCRE sources and for JSON functions. Only command you need to prepare sources is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\bin\cmake.exe" -G "Visual Studio 11 Win64" . -DMYSQL_DIR="/path/to/mysql/installation"
And then you can build functions:
devenv my_json_udf.sln /build Release
This is done by introducing new cmake option WITH_PCRE which can take two parameters: system and bundled. For Windows default is bundled which means bundled version of PCRE will be used. Default parameter for UNIX is system, because you usually have regular expression library installed and no need to build it statically into JSON functions. But you can overwrite defaults on both systems, specifying option -DWITH_PCRE=system|bundled for the cmake command.
Another improvement is test automation. In the first available version you had to use strange file Makefile.unix and weird instructions to run tests. In 0.2.1 this file is not needed anymore: simply run `make test` on UNIX or open solution my_json_udf.sln in Visual Studio and execute target ALL_TESTS. Here I have a question for mature Windows users: do you know how to run this on command line? But regardless to command line or not this also means you don't need Cygwin to run tests on Windows. Perl, however, is still required and must be in the path, because it is required by the MySQL Test Framework.
Of course, MySQL server directory should contain binaries. In other words: if you use source dir when build JSON functions you need to compile MySQL server to be able to run tests.
On Linux, as well on other OSes which can run Valgrind, you can run tests with valgrind too. Instructions are a bit weird: you need to specify option -DVALGRIND=1 when build functions to run tests under valgrind. Command, which you need to use to run tests under valgrind is still the same: make test
And, finally, last improvement is possibility to create a source package by running command make build_source_dist. This option can look not very useful from the user point of view, but it really helps producing packages for MySQL Labs out of internal repository with sources. If you run make build_source_dist file, named mysql-json-udfs-0.2.1-labs-json-udfs-src.tar.gz, which contains all source code, will be produced. On Windows, again, you need to open my_json_udf.sln solution and build this target.

In preparation for the 2014 hurricane season, the National Hurricane Center's south Florida ham station will conduct a day of on-air testing on May 31.
WX4NHC, located at Florida International University in Miami, will exchange radio reports between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., mostly on the hurricane watch frequency of 14.325 MHz, says assistant station coordinator Julio Ripoll.
The station ham station will make brief contacts on other frequencies, including 3.950 MHz, 7.268 MHz, 21.325 MHz and 28.425 MHz.
The annual station test is not a contest or simulated hurricane exercise, Ripoll said.
"This event is will be good practice for ham radio operators worldwide as well as for NWS staff to become familiar with amateur radio communications available during times of severe weather," he said.
WX4NHC will also be available on south Florida VHF and UHF repeaters , as well as Internet radio links that are accessible by computer.
Hams making contact with the hurricane station are asked to give a brief one-word description of their local weather, such as "cloudy," "clear" or "rainy."
During active hurricanes, the station receives spotter reports from hams in and around the path of storms, to help foresee damage and plan evacuations.

SEATTLE, Wash. - The Arizona State women's basketball team fell to Washington State 48-41 in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament on Thursday night.
Promise Amukamara grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds to lead the Sun Devils (13-18, 5-13 Pac-12), who were not able to overcome a 29-percent shooting effort.
Lia Galdeira (17 points) and Dawnyelle Awa (10 points) both scored in double figures for the Cougars (11-19, 6-12 Pac-12), who outscored ASU 35-23 and shot 48 percent in the second half to erase a five-point halftime deficit.
The Sun Devils had one of their best halves of the year on the defensive end in the first half as they held the Cougars to only 13 points to take an 18-13 lead at the intermission. Fulcher scored eight points in the first half as the Sun Devils held the Cougars to only 22 percent from the floor.
Galdeira would lead Washington State's second-half comeback as she scored 12 of her 17 points over the course of the final 20 minutes.
The turning point of the game came after Fulcher extended ASU's lead to 21-15 in the opening minute of the second half. A jumper by Galdeira ignited a 20-6 run by the Cougars over a stretch of 7:29. Galdeira scored 10 of the first 12 points during the run as the Cougars went from being down six to up by eight 35-27 with 11:26 left in the game.
A jumper by Micaela Pickens got ASU back to within six, before the Cougars reeled off six consecutive points to take their largest lead of the game, 41-29, with 7:41 left in the game. The Sun Devils would get no closer than eight points until the final minute of regulation.

Two complex, yet major, European events in early May drew attention to the tragic, but ongoing, decline of Western peoples: The first, a British election, where three major parties, accounting for 88.5% of the total vote (the balance split among 11 other parties), carefully avoided Britain's greatest social problem (incongruous immigration); perhaps intimidated, lest someone suggest they actually identified with a native British posterity, and call them nasty names. The second, European agonizing over what is now labeled the "Greek Bailout," which demonstrated the unnecessary economic trauma in trying to merge different peoples, with different cultures, in a common entity. There is, clearly, a common factor in these phenomena.
In May, 2001, we challenged European Union efforts to homogenize the distinct cultures of Europe; observing that a nation could enjoy the benefits of a free trade association--even monetary union--without calling upon its people to compromise traditional ethnic values, a sense of unique identity (ethnicity), or their social or moral preferences. British silence over changes altering the very warp & woof of British society, reflects a deliberate & determined effort to avoid analysis of the radical effect from introducing very different peoples into the same communities. Persistence of such avoidance may doom communities across the whole of Britain to a gathering social chaos.
The European monetary crisis reflected not only very different attitudes among the respective nations on questions of acceptable levels of debt, but also towards a planned interdependence, no more necessary to monetary union, than bank bailouts in America, to the preservation of a Federal Union. The planned interdependence has now led to a "solution" that endangers the very economic pursuits that once provided a major rationalization for the EU, itself. Both the British and Continental phenomena reflect a European pursuit of the same compulsion driven denial of reality, which we have seen so often in contemporary America. Yet consider the pathology of ethnic decline & fall from a slightly different vantage point.
There is clearly a point where any society will break down, if it becomes too confused in its self-perception, its own identity. In his Decline & Fall Of The Roman Empire, Gibbon describes how far the original working class Roman had been replaced, even in Rome itself, by ex-slaves & a vast cosmopolitan migration, drawn from throughout what had been the Roman world. This was a major factor in leaving geographic Rome, virtually indefensible against the oncoming Barbarians. To those who suggest that America is not being similarly undermined, consider what would happen in California, if we got into a foreign war in which Mexico was on the other side, and the crowds that recently terrorized large cities, protesting efforts to stop illegal immigration, returned to the streets?
Loss, or confusion, of identity can take many forms; but if the identity, lost, had true value, the consequences have catastrophic implications. In the Roman case, the sense of a proud, disciplined history--of the achievements of specific forebears--inspired the creation of a formidable empire. A confusion of the actual "Roman" identity was inextricably linked to the destruction of that empire. In point of fact, the empire achievers were only a small minority, well before the final chapter, with rapidly declining influence in a now cosmopolitan population.
Does the growing ethnic diversity of America--as for that matter, Britain--pose parallel problems--even without the threat of foreign invasion? To anyone paying attention to some of the public demands, originating among self-appointed spokesmen for groups identified as "Hispanic, Non-Cubans," with respect to immigration issues, it should be obvious how far down the path to absolute chaos, we have already travelled.
A "rose by any other name would smell as sweet"; but there is significance, none-the-less, in chosen names. Calling England, "England," reflects the Anglo-Saxon part of her history. The name is derived from the Angle tribe, who with others migrated into what had been Roman Britain at the approximate time of the fall of Rome. While the descendants of the Angles, Saxons, Danes, Celts and others in the south of Britain were later conquered by the Normans--basically Vikings who had settled in Normandy, across the Channel in France--the Anglo-Saxon character of the country survived, with the small new upper class, finally abandoning the French, they had adopted in Normandy, for an earlier form of modern English.
"England" means land of the Angles, as "Scotland" means land of the Scots. America is not a name dictated by the elements, nor emblazoned in the clouds over her. Rather, adapted from the name of a European explorer--the term "American," as member of a new ethnicity, was adopted by the European settlers, who had risen against the Mother country to achieve the freedom of their respective States, to represent a sense of common purpose--a purpose shortly reflected in their written Constitution, as discussed in depth in our May Feature. The confusion in Academia is demonstrated by the penchant to lump American Indian tribes together under the nomenclature "Native American"; a clear insult to proud peoples, who often laid down their lives, fighting to preserve their own unique nations in the lands of their fathers.
Why cannot the Left--why cannot, a now corrupted Academia, which once studied the infinite variation of the human species--accord to unique peoples the right to be unique? Why cannot we deal with each other with actual respect, as opposed to a compulsive need to pretend that we are all alike--as alike as peas in a pod, or matches in a box, none of which are really all alike, either.
There is absolutely no rational reason, why Nations no longer recognize that each people is unique; that a combination of factors, unique at any moment in time to a given population, will effect behavior; that that determinant is not something necessarily good or bad; merely something that must be recognized, just as one recognizes that Clydesdales & Thoroughbreds are both very nice horses, but have functionally very distinguishing traits. More to the point, there is no rational reason why any people should be apologetic for wanting to retain their own unique culture & demographics in the land of their fathers. What an absurd situation--with no Dean Swift around to send Gulliver to an island to burlesque it--that anyone would feel a compulsion to either deny such a sentiment, apologize for it, or insult a neighbor who holds it.
Yet more to the point: Who, but compulsion driven egalitarians & internationalists, really insults anyone by reasoned discussion of ethnic differences. There is a common misconception--one resulting from a contrived egalitarian hue & cry, that even to broach the subject is offensive to all non-White minorities. But that very notion is absurd. Was Reggie White's address to the Wisconsin Legislature, which celebrated some of the commonly perceived characteristics of recognized groups, a decade back, reason for anyone to take offense? (We are not referring, here, to the umbrage taken by radical Homosexuals to the great Green Bay Packer's Christian outreach; what he considered his Christian duty, in trying to save them from themselves.)
Understanding what is unique to any group, type or subset of a community, is by very definition, a constructive step towards better understanding such subset; and better understanding has ever been a foundation for better relations. Nor is the present neurotic ("politically correct") avoidance of the subject, either a compliment or benefit to any group. It is hardly an improvement over the good natured ethnic humor, with which peoples used to relieve the tensions of diverse groups living in close proximity; that is, before self-anointed thought Police began to excoriate even attempts at ethnic humor.
Clearly, there is great insult in assuming that anyone, under discussion, cannot handle the fact that some people prefer patterns of association & community, with which they and their families are most familiar? To ascribe such an irrational hyper-sensitivity against normal human preferences, is anything but complimentary. Most of us get over an expectation of being the center of attention, association or concern, for everyone we meet, before we even learn how to read. That is about the same time we realize that our own freedom, to not only like or dislike, but to determine degrees of liking, is consistent with according a corresponding acceptance of such freedom to others.
This is far from the merely academic; no mere lament for a psychologically simpler, more "normal" era. Would a British Tory Party have lost credibility as defender of traditional British values, if they had called for severe restrictions on immigration into Great Britain (already sustaining a population far beyond what she can feed internally), in order to maintain her traditional character (and space)? We would suggest that failure to face so important an issue, has completely destroyed Tory credibility with respect to long accepted norms. Their only justification, now, is purely materialistic. What people have ever sustained their character & culture with nothing beyond material pursuit?
A compulsion not to recognize that an ethnic England is very different from an England part Anglo & equal or almost equal part a wide assortment of diverse peoples--where given present migration & reproductive rates, she is certainly headed--flows directly from an Egalitarian mantra that dominates much of Academia & a sycophantic Media today. Whether that Egalitarianism is largely of Marxist, Fabian or other origin; whether it has a non-neurotic element, in addition to the obvious compulsive ones; are questions we can discuss, debate & analyze, ad nauseam. What is essential, here, is that regardless of the motivation, a denial of reality helps no one; can by no stretch be reckoned altruistic. Rather, it is an insult to anyone comfortable with being themselves; anyone happy to be unique.
All meaningful human achievement or failure, ultimately depends upon individual personality. But that personality is molded by heredity as well as nurture--bloodlines, as well as the affinities of inclination. We come in very different forms. Why not accord to others the respect that each of us really hopes to have in return: A respect for the right to be unique; to be oneself.

25 EarthHack finalists announced in contest to 're-imagine' technology for greener homes
- Date
- 07 August 2013
LONDON: Twenty-five finalists have been chosen by the judges of EarthHack [sustainable homes], a crowd-sourcing contest run in partnership with Marblar and The Climate Group, with the support of IKEA and Philips.
The international competition used Marblar's crowd-sourcing platform to ask entrants to 're-imagine' existing technology to create a more sustainable home, for a chance to have their idea turned into a real product by an industry leader and share in a US$25,000 prize pot.
Most of the entries aim to tackle household waste and energy consumption issues in unique and innovative ways, but those that made it to the final 25 have been chosen for their potential to be scaled up commerically. See a full list of the 25 finalists below.
Scaling up ideas
The EarthHack Judges picked the 'most promising' ideas for reducing CO2 emissions, which range from new building materials to re-imagined housing designs, community incentives schemes and novel lighting.
After the refinement stage, judges will pick the winners based on the following criteria: desirability, affordability, accessibility and scalability.
The chosen winner will present their idea at Climate Week NYC in September, win a US$15,000 prize and the chance for their idea to be turned into a real product by Philips or IKEA. The second place winner will take home US$5,000.
Those who don't win will still have the opportunity to share in the US$25,000 prize pot too; they can win US$50 by making a meaningful contribution towards refining the finalist's idea.
Entrants and those who log on to Marblar's site to view, discuss and critique the entries, come from a range of backgrounds, and include engineers, researchers and medical product developers.
Dan Perez, Founder and CEO, Marblar, commented: "We've been overwhelmed by the incredible product ideas streaming in from around the world. But most impressive has been the collaboration amongst Marblars, and the constant feedback from the judges. Our top ideas have been plumped out by five to ten people each, and that's been really exciting."
Dave Raval, EarthHack judge, Cleantech entrepreneur, and former Head of the UK Government cleantech incubation service at Carbon Trust, said: "One of the very special things about this competition is the way that the Marblar community comes around to support and build upon each others' ideas. This is great: no one will ever have all the bright ideas and answers all by themselves, so if we tackle the big problems of our age like climate change, it's got to be through everyone working together, like with the Marblar process."

Corellian Corvette, alias Blockade Runner, is the first ship seen in the first Star Wars movie... In the game world, it is widely used by rebellion and other factions also.
Side view
Victory-class Star Destroyer is another vessel not seen in movies. It is predecessor of Imperial Star Destroyer, is 900 m long and has seen it's best years during the old republic. Although it's too slow to be too effective in ship-to-ship -combat, it still excels in one area: It is still the largest ship able to enter a planet's atmosphere. Combined with it's heavy weaponry, this attribute makes it excellent ground assault craft.
This simple modelling projects creates stunned/dazed/shaken -effects for miniatures, giving your games comic -style effect - stars whirling around characters heads. The markers can be done in a bit different ways, making the result more or less comic-like.
While this project was inspired by Savage Worlds and it's Shaken condition, it can be well used in other games where characters have different conditions; however, it works best for games where there's not many common different conditions.
Below you can see marker in use - a shaken shaolin monk.

I am able to download files from an FTP on Win-CE to W2008 R2 SP1 64-Bit with a batch after creating a Firewall rule:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Allow FTP" dir=in action=allow profile=private program="C:\Windows\System32\ftp.exe" enable=yes
The user is a member of the group "Administrators".
Unfortunately the above is not true for a user who are allowed to "Log on as a service".
The only "solution" - is to turn off the Firewall for the "Private Network".
The same downloading script works fine on W2003,WXP and W7 Professional 32 and 64-Bits, when invoked by a member of the group "Administrators" or a member of the same group, who are set "Log on as a service".

Q1 What themes has a thin top border?
Q2 Could I in an easy way change the size of the topborder of the default Ambiance theme
I'm trying to switch to using (almost) the default Ubuntu desktop distro setup instead of doing lots of customization's as switching of window manager and mapping keys for example. Because all that fiddling with the setup has stolen lots of time from me at every install, upgrade, and reinstall that I have done at work and at home during the last 20 years.
The default theme (Ambiance) which I mostly like has a top border thats 28px high which I think is wasting a lot of space on my screen if I have a bunch of windows on the same desktop.
I have tried to use MyUnity to switch theme but it does not update the themes correctly immediately and surfing for new themes on the web is also very hard since I found no good searchtool where I could see the border look in a quick way.

After years of estrangement, Brody Jenner and his father Bruce Jenner are reconnecting while filming Keeping Up With The Kardashians
with the episodes airing just in time for Father's Day! We all know that Bruce is a stepfather for the Kardashian kids, and has two children with Kris Jenner, but how many children does Olympian Bruce Jenner have?
Short answer is 10 children, including six biological children.
Bruce was married to Chrystie Crownover from December 15, 1972 to January 2, 1981 during the height of his athletic career,p and had two children with her: Burton William "Burt" Jenner (born September 6, 1978) was named after Bruce's younger brother Burt who died in car accident. Burt was followed by Cassandra Lynn "Casey" Jenner on June 10, 1980.
He has two sons, Brandon Thompson Jenner (June 4, 1981) and Sam Brody Jenner (August 21, 1983,) born to ex-wife Linda Thompson, who he was married to from 1981 to 1985.
Bruce married Kris Kardashian (nee Houghton) April 21, 1991, and became stepfather to her children Kourtney Mary Kardashian (April 18, 1979,) Kimberly Noel Kardashian
(October 21, 1980,) Khloé Alexandra Kardashian (June 27, 1984,) and Robert Arthur Kardashian Jr. (March 17, 1987.) The Kardashian children lost their father Robert Kardashian to esophageal cancer in 2003, and Bruce has been a supportive and loving stepfather to them. He also has two girl with wife Kris: Kendall Nicole Jenner (November 3, 1995) and Kylie Kristen Jenner (August 10, 1997.)
Bruce also has five grandchildren: Daughter Casey has two daughters, Francesca and Isabella, Kourtney Kardashian has Mason Dash Disick and daughter Penelope Scotland Disick, and Kim Kardashian just gave birth to daughter North west on June 15, 2013.
As for Brody, he bonds with dad Bruce on tonight's Keeping Up With the Kardashians by playing some paintball, and supporting his Bruce's desire to bring a gun in the house despite Kris' protesting.
So now it's time to really get to know my dad, and I will give him a second chance."
"Right now I'm trying to build a relationship with my father," Brody says. "This is the first time in my life I've ever started to have a relationship with him — and it feels good."

SPX and INDU Updates: Ambiguity Remains the Order of the Day
Jason Haver
Bears showed up to the party yesterday. Can they make it stick?
In yesterday's outlook (see
Market Wants to Take Things 'One Day at a Time'
), I outlined the fact that I felt the
(INDEXSP:.INX) was quite ambiguous, and as a result, choose to focus on the
Dow Jones Industrials
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) as a waypoint -- hopefully one that would help in unlocking the wave count in SPX. I expected INDU needed to make a new high, which it did. However, SPX did not follow suit and stalled right at the key 1525 resistance level.
We are now within potentially dangerous territory for traders. I can tell you from experience that this is where many traders do great damage to their accounts, as they attempt to anticipate the market's next move based solely on prior expectations. My advice in this market would be to "live in the moment," as the saying goes, and trade only what you see, and stick to the low-risk entries with clear exits. We booked a nice profit for January/February, and it's now critically important not to give that profit back trying to call the next turn. Please avoid the temptation to think that any system is so flawless that it can see several months and "three turns" down the road. As I wrote about at length yesterday, the climate has shifted, and this is now a market that we need to take one day at a time.
The bearish engulfing bar yesterday has to be respected over the near-term.
INDU fell short of the upside target, but did fulfill the minimum expectation of a new high and reversal. This topping pattern should be respected unless INDU can whipsaw solidly back into the trading range.
Click to enlarge
SPX also presents a topping pattern. Both indices haven't yet moved far enough below the pattern to preclude bullish whipsaws, but "what we see" here presently appears bearish.
Click to enlarge
Yesterday's pending bearish sell trigger became active during the session, and targets 1470-1473. Each of the noted prior swing lows now become important near-term resistance zones on the road to maintaining that trajectory. Also note the market has dipped below the red basechannel. In my experience, either bulls will whipsaw this breakdown more or less immediately and put together a strong rally, or we'll retest it/bounce briefly back into it, and then continue lower.
While a near-term bounce would be reasonable, the short-term wave structure does ultimately look likely resolve lower over the next few sessions. As always, of course, the market reserves the right to drastically alter that picture on a moment's notice.
Click to enlarge
In conclusion, the bulls now have work to do to regain the initiative, and barring a strong showing that reclaims overhead resistance, I would expect this pattern to lead to lower prices over the upcoming sessions. Trade safe.

The Mornington Night 'n Day dairy was targeted again
yesterday, its fourth aggravated robbery in two years.
Police swooped on the Eglinton Rd outlet at 8am after reports
a man brandishing a firearm had held up the store.
He fled the scene with a ''significant amount'' of tobacco
and cigarettes, Detective Sergeant Rob Hanna, of the Dunedin
CIB, said.
Witnesses told police the alleged offender might have been in
the area for up to an hour before the hold-up. A public
toilet across the road was cordoned off yesterday morning.
The man was described as a caucasian, aged possibly in his
20s, between 1.75m and 1.85m tall and of slim, athletic
He was wearing a distinctive hoodie, three-quarter pants and
boots, and was carrying several shopping bags.
Police want to hear from anyone offered cigarettes or tobacco
since the robbery.
The new owners were not in a position to comment yesterday.
Night 'n Day Foodstore chief executive Tony Allison said the
female owner and a female shop assistant were in the store
when it was robbed.
Both were shaken but unhurt from the incident, he said.
Former owner Qian Sun was robbed three times between buying
the store in 2012 and selling it to the current owners last
August. The person who robbed the store on those occasions
was sentenced last year to seven years' imprisonment.
Mr Allison said it was unclear why the shop had been targeted
so many times, but at that hour of the morning ''it was
pretty brazen''.
The people in the shop followed the correct protocols and the
security system was of high quality, with the photo of the
offender widely distributed, he said.
Anyone with information was asked to contact Dunedin police
on (03) 471-4800 or via the anonymous tipoff line
Crimestoppers on 0800 555-111.
