Kernicterus - Topic Overview
What are the symptoms? continued...
The lifelong damage from kernicterus may cause long-term:
- Movement problems. A baby may develop slow and uncontrolled movements or random, jerky movements.
- Hearing loss or deafness. Some babies may seem to have normal hearing, but they develop a problem processing sounds. This is called auditory neuropathy or auditory dyssynchrony.
- Learning problems and other developmental disabilities.
- Problems moving the eyes, especially looking upward.
Kernicterus may cause stains on the outside (enamel) of a child's baby teeth (primary teeth).
How is kernicterus diagnosed?
Your doctor diagnoses kernicterus through a physical exam and knowledge of your child's history of symptoms. Blood tests to measure your baby's bilirubin levels are also done.
Once a baby has kernicterus, brain damage has already occurred. For this reason, it is important to follow and treat jaundice before bilirubin levels get too high.
Can kernicterus be prevented?
You may be able to help prevent kernicterus by being aware of the symptoms of jaundice and making sure your baby gets testing and treatment when needed.
- If your baby is still in the hospital and has signs of jaundice, your doctor or nurse may do a transcutaneous bilirubin test. He or she will place a small device gently against your baby's skin to check the bilirubin level. A blood test can also check your baby's bilirubin level. A baby with a bilirubin level that requires treatment will have light therapy (phototherapy). This is usually given in the hospital. In very mild cases, you may treat your baby at home using lights the doctor gives you. Do not be alarmed if your baby has to have phototherapy; it does not mean that he or she is in danger of having brain damage. Doctors use this therapy to help prevent bilirubin from getting to a dangerous level.
- Feed your baby at least every 2 to 3 hours during the first week or two. This helps keep bilirubin moving out of the body through urine and stool.
- Set up a well-baby check-up before you leave the hospital. Jaundice is usually at its worst around day 5, so have the visit within the first 5 days after your child's birth. The doctor will check your baby for jaundice that is of any concern.
- Call your doctor if you think that your baby's skin on the tummy, arms, or legs is getting yellow or that yellowing on the face is getting worse. Also look for yellowing in the whites of your baby's eyes. Get medical help right away if your baby is jaundiced and is hard to wake, acts very fussy, or is not feeding well.
- Talk to your doctor about what makes your baby more likely to get kernicterus, such as:

Can't understand why the Blue with paint splashes all over it, from the Terry Cooper/Kumar era doesn't warrant a spot in that line up of awful strips, Steve...Paul Tate modelled that to the brink of horribleness.

The same thought crossed my mind Nige.....that 'paint' shirt.
Perhaps it was left out because youngsters can access this site....you know....nightmares and all that.
I actually think it was designed by a 'Kumar kid' by accident when he knocked paint over the original design and it was mass produced (27 replica tops) before anyone realised.
Incidentally, 24 tops were sold. 2 were exported for the corrida de toros and 1 was given a decent cremation on humanitarian grounds.
In case we have all forgotten what it looked like....
Hee, hee, still laughing at Hull City's, lads--fuskcing hilarious.

I've been searching for tutorials for AS3, but it seems Google Search interprets "AS3" as "Flash" and gives me undesired content. Even after changing it to ActionScript 3, it still seems every tutorial is based off of some program, usually Flash CS3 (I think that's what it's called) and not just the language itself. Using FlashDevelop, I can't find much help in them since they seem to do less writing code than anything else.
Honestly, I just want to learn how to do extremely basic things, such as "make a sprite show up", but I can't figure out the system behind doing that because it's always related to some program.
So, do you know of any place that has a few tutorials for AS3 basics, such as making sprites and learning the syntax fully?
The official site isn't much help, either...
Where can I find tutorials for starting ActionScript 3?

Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission has weighed in with his thoughts on the Supreme Court decision striking down gay marriage bans, telling anti-gay Christians to take solace in the knowledge that "this ruling will ultimately be overturned" by God.
"Morally, the Bible could not be more clear," Cass said, on his "Defending a Christian Worldview" program over the weekend. "Homosexuality is consistently condemned in the strongest possible terms ... Science proves living a homosexual lifestyle is devastating, medically and psychologically. It's not loving the encourage people to violate God's moral law, especially when the consequences are so destructive. Now we're sending a morally confused message to our children and grandchildren. God is not pleased."
"The good news," he continued, "is this ruling will ultimately be overturned. The real triune Supreme Court in Heaven has already ruled: marriage is a union of one man and one woman. We can confidently celebrate that which God has ordained because time and eternity are on our side."

Philadelphia Gives Former QB McNabb Heartfelt Sendoff
Published: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 11:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 11:40 p.m.
PHILADELPHIA | Donovan McNabb's voice cracked and his eyes watered when he stood at the podium to give his retirement speech.
Famously booed when he was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999, McNabb couldn't hide the tears when he called it quits 14 years later. The six-time Pro Bowl quarterback was back in Philadelphia on Monday to make it official, three years after he was traded from the Eagles and 21 months after taking his final snap in the NFL.
"Special day," McNabb said. "I'm not one for emotion, but this is pretty tough."
Before McNabb even took the stage, team owner Jeffrey Lurie revealed that his No. 5 will be retired on Sept. 19.
"The No. 5 has become synonymous with one of the greatest eras of Eagles football," Lurie said. "And ensuring that no one else will ever wear Donovan's number, we honor one of the greatest playmakers to ever wear an Eagles uniform."
McNabb will be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame and have his jersey retired on Sept. 19.
"To be mentioned with the likes of Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Chuck Bednarik, Tommy McDonald, Brian Dawkins and all the other players who have paved the way for me, for my former teammates and for the current players, it's truly an honor," McNabb said about becoming the ninth player in franchise history to have his number retired.
Dawkins received the honor last year when his No. 20 was put on the shelf.

Change is sometimes difficult to comprehend, and this season, the Seymour High School girls basketball team endured that with a new head coach in Jason Longmeier.
From day one, he told the girls that change was difficult, and the five seniors had one season to learn his system.
On Thursday night in the school's cafeteria, the Owls conducted their awards program. Longmeier said he doesn't give out a most valuable player award, but he gave out several other honors.
Senior Sidney Carr received the offensive player of the year award, which is based solely on statistics from the season. Carr finished with 230 points.
"She went from starter to being the first player off the bench," Longmeier said.

Being an avid fan of stand up paddleboarding I think this is one of the best articles and collection of info and videos I have ever see.
I wanted to share this with you if you've never experienced the health benefits and general overall fun of Stand Up Paddleboarding.
Because I love being on and around the water, I was interested to hear about another way to enjoy Michigan's many beautiful lakes: stand up paddle boarding. "It's fun and easy," said Mark Beauman, a SUP enthusiast and teacher at Grand Ledge High School. An avid windsurfer, Beauman picked up SUP a few years ago, after his friend, Bob Pratt, introduced SUP to the windsurfers at Lake Lansing. Pratt was the first in the area to SUP and has taught dozens of people how to take their workouts to the water. Pratt and Beauman alternate between the two sports, depending on wind conditions. "I can be on the water all the time," said Beauman. "When it's windy, I windsurf; when the water is calm, I ride an inflatable stand up paddleboard."
Beauman invited me to the SUP demo sponsored by Summit Sports last August at the MSU Sailing Center at Lake Lansing. Since I'm not athletically-inclined, I was skeptical. But I was willing, and Beauman assured me that I was able. "You just need to have good balance," he explained. "It's a fast learning curve. It takes a few minutes to get the hang of it, but soon you'll be tooling around like a pro."
SUP is similar to rowing a surfboard while standing. In fact, SUP is an ancient form of surfing. Minimal equipment is required: a board (around $1,000 and up), a paddle (around $200 and up), and a personal flotation device or pfd (about $50-$100). Sandals or water socks can be worn, but for better balance and control, paddling barefoot is recommended. Although SUP equipment rentals are available in Grand Haven, they're not currently available in the Lansing area, so SUP demonstrations are the best way to test drive equipment and determine your affinity for the sport.
The day I attended the demo at Lake Lansing, the water was a bit choppy. Even so, after listening to a few minutes of instruction, I was able to stand up on the board easily, get my bearings, and make some progress. Although I felt a bit wobbly and it took a while to coordinate my paddling, I didn't fall in. According to the instructors, the trick is to stand with knees slightly bent, put weight on the balls of the feet, paddle close to the board using straight arms, and look ahead rather than down. With the headwind that day, I didn't get very far, but with practice, I could see myself tooling around as Beauman predicted.

The yummiest kind of motorbike for ripping up single track is made of modeling chocolate. This motorcycle cake tutorial is for cake decorators who find themselves challenged by designs that involve two-wheel vehicles, i.e. bicycles, dirt bikes, scooters etc. Because the problem with two-wheelers is that they don't translate smoothly into the edible form. Consider a standing moped cake decoration made from gumpaste for instance and all the effort and infrastructure that would involve. Or imagine carving a motorcycle shape out of cake…the nightmare frosting job that would ensue. No thank you! Here I will sculpt a mogul (i.e. a mound) of cake, build a motorbike in parts, then place them on the cake to give the impression of a completely intact standing vehicle.
Edible Materials Needed
– ¼ sheet cake
– 4" diameter round chocolate cake, 2" thick
– 5 cups chocolate buttercream
– 1/2 cup vanilla buttercream
– 1/3 batch of modeling chocolate – some tinted light blue
– 2 cups chocolate glaze
– 1/3 cup chocolate chips, ground in a food processor to look like dirt
– White piping chocolate for the inscription
– Cocoa powder for dusting
Equipment Needed
– quarter sheet pan
– 4" round cake pan (or 4" round cutter)
– 4 1/2" round cutter
– Felt tip marker
– Parchment paper
– Craft utility knife
– Gumpaste/fondant modeling tools
– Small round and square microcutters
1. Cut a 4" wide cylinder of cake in half to form two wheels (alternatively, cut 4" circles out of a sheet of cake using a 4" cutter). Cover them in plastic wrap tightly, pressing to round the edges slightly. Freeze solid.
2. Once frozen, dip the topside of the wheels upside down in chocolate glaze. Allow the wheels to set in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before handling again.
3. Saw diagonally through a 1/4 sheet cake the long way, taking the edge off the 90º front ledge. Rotate the wedge 180° then reattach it to the cake, creating a slanted surface like a mountain face on which to display the motorbike. Alternatively, during the filling stage, assemble a 1/4 cake in the shape of a mound.
4. Plunge a 4 1/2" round cutter into the face of the mogul to mark the position of the wheels. Hollow out each spot a little to create grooves for wheels to nest in. Angle the grooves slightly so that the wheels will both tilt inwards.
7. Draw a motorbike onto the parchment paper using the wheels and the outline of the cake to frame its size. Reference images on the internet to get a sense of how a dirt bike looks.
8. Tape the drawing to the flat underside of a clean sheet pan.
10. Shape the components of the bike out of modeling chocolate, making certain aspects bulge more than others to add depth and dimension. Create disjointed parts that fit together like a puzzle but are not attached. That way, they can be pivoted and rearranged when it comes time to place them on the cake.
12. Allow the motorbike parts to rest, untouched and uncovered at a cool room temperature for at least two hours before handling them again.
14. With a small offset spatula, roughly add chocolate buttercream underneath the wheels to secure them and create the impression that loose dirt is kicking up behind.
16. Drizzle chocolate glaze over the back edge of the cake. Pipe an inscription using white chocolate + vegetable oil (see more on how to write on a cake here).
17. Dust the top of the cake lightly with cocoa powder for one final touch of dirt.

Is a Higher Calling Enough? Incentive Compensation in the Church
We study the compensation and productivity of more than 2,000 Methodist ministers in a 43-year panel data set. The church appears to use pay-for-performance incentives for its clergy, as their compensation follows a sharing rule by which pastors receive approximately 3% of the incremental revenue from membership increases. Ministers receive the strongest rewards for attracting new parishioners who switch from other congregations within their denomination. Monetary incentives are weaker in settings where ministers have less control over their measured performance. (c) 2010 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved.

JR - I know I don't have late acceleration. I just don't have much acceleration at all I don't think. I feel like I am going pretty steady from the get go. I accelerate quickly but then I'm maxed out for most of my pull. I watch guys throw all the time and they have much more force behind their throw.
I don't know if this is a good idea or not, but I've been working on curling my wrist in toward my body as soon as I start the pull. My thought is that it will make the disc closer to my body and keep my speed down until a bit later, as well as get more of a whipping action. So far I haven't noticed any improvement. I'm also going to work on not taking the disc so far back. That way I don't have to pull the disc forward as far. I'm hoping that will help me better time the hit. I'm also looking at shortening my last step. Boy, that sounds like a lot of things to try. I'm hoping one of them helps.
Thanks again everyone.

I am working on a new homepage with WordPress as the backend. I am trying to design a menu/navigation system for it that will be dynamic. The structure looks like this:
------Nav Menu-----
---Dynamic Menu---
|| Content box ||
|| ||
The problem is that the dynamic menu is based on the current "content" and must be called from within the "post" loop which is located inside the content box; but I want the menu to appear above the content box (just below the Nav menu).
The only way I've found to do this is to use "static" positioning, but this seems to cause problems, for instance, when I scroll the statically positioned items don't scroll and are covered over by the content box. Also, it seems hard to center all the items in the middle with static positioning, and finally, it is very difficult for me to make sure that the dynamic menu appears just below the navigation menu.
Thanks for your help!

I just read on the package of epsom salts to consult a physician before using as a soak. I've been running lately and would like to have an all natural, pain relieving bath. Can I do this while BFing? Can DS be in the tub with me?
Also, I bent over to the recycling bin today and felt like someone had karate chopped my back. Ugh. Not good for a new runner. Anyway, can I take Aleeve? I don't really want to take anything but DH keeps asking me if I have looked up whether I can take this or not. Does anyone have any crunchy solutions? Maybe a tea I can drink?
Thank you for your help!

Some people refer to squirrels as tree-rats, but we think of them as secret urban unicorns. Squirrelicorns! While the Squirrelicorn is just as magical as its fully equine unicorn comrades, they are a little less rare. You just need to know how to attract them.
To lure a Squirrelicorn out of hiding simply fill a Unicorn Squirrel Feeder with peanuts (and some peanut butter if you're feeling extra generous) and hang it up within squirrelly reach. Give them a little time to comprehend their
hunger magical potential and, before you know it, your once ordinary squirrels will become awesome Squirrelicorns:
Believe it or not the Squirrelicorn isn't the only magical creature found in urban backyards. Hang up a Horse Head Squirrel Feeder and you'll almost certainly attract a Squorse:
Now we know what you're wondering: Can two creatures as magical as these be friends? Members of our Bigfoot Research Team are currently taking time away from their search for the elusive Sasquatch to observe Squirrelicorn and Squorse behavior. Legend has it they meet for nutmeat feasts and dance-offs.
If you want to help solve this mystery (or just want to laugh at squirrels looking ridiculous), visit our squirrel shop so you can set up your own Unicorn Squirrel Feeder and Horse Head Squirrel Feeder.
Let us know if you capture photos or footage of squirrelly shenanigans!
BBC Springwatch recently shared this awesome video of a grey squirrel using one of our Horse Head Squirrel Feeders. He's determined to retrieve a tasty treat from inside the feeder, but in the meantime he looks like a horse-squirrel hybrid who's possibly had one too many hazelnut daiquiris.
To watch squirrel shenanigans like this from the comfort of your own home simply order a Horse Head Squirrel Feeder, or Big Head Squirrel Feeder, fill it with nuts, and hang it up in your yard. The squirrels will take care of the rest.[via BBC Springwatch]
Shana, our one and only High Priestess of Rubber Chickens, recently made an appearance on King 5's New Day Northwest. On April Fools' Day, while sporting a massive pair of Man Hands, Shana showed Margaret Larsen and the studio audience a selection of products that make great pranks on a day devoted to mischief.
It's a delightful demonstration of some of our favorite new items and classic tricks:
You probably remember these amazing photos of a squirrel using our Horse Head Squirrel Feeder that we first shared a few weeks ago:
The photos were taken by the awesome Jim Zielinski, who just outdid himself by capturing video footage of a squirrel using the Horse Head Squirrel Feeder:
Well done Jim and thank you for sharing! We've already watched it ten times in a row and it's still cracking us up.
Want to get your own backyard squirrels involved in this hilarious action?
Click here to buy the Horse Head Squirrel Feeder.
Yesterday we introduced the Horse Head Squirrel Feeder and today, thanks to intrepid photographer Jim Zielinski, we've got our very first action shots of the feeder in use by a real live squirrel. The squirrel is enjoying a tasty snack while looking utterly ridiculous. It's perfect:
Don't let your neighborhood squirrels be left out.
Click here to buy the Horse Head Squirrel Feeder!
It turns out that the Horse Mask is even funnier when it's on a squirrel! This hanging vinyl 6-1/2" x 10" squirrel feeder makes it appear as if any squirrel that eats from it is wearing a Horse Mask.
Put some peanut butter on the shelf inside this squirrel feeder and as the squirrel eats it, he'll be wearing the horse mask. Feeds and humiliates squirrels at the same time! You'll laugh every morning as you drink your coffee while staring out the window into your backyard.

Dynamo's Cameron back in his element
Updated 1:26 am, Wednesday, September 28, 2011
With only one appearance this season on defense, Geoff Cameron was quite surprised in July when he was picked for the MLS All-Star team as a center back. Although it had been two seasons since he played center back consistently, the Boston native jumped at the opportunity to face the legendary Manchester United even if he wasn't picked at his preferred midfield spot.
Since being picked to the MLS Best XI team as a defender in 2009, Cameron has mostly played in the midfield. But as the Dynamo try to make it back to the postseason after missing the playoffs last season for the first time in franchise history, there's a reason Cameron is back on defense.
After coach Dominic Kinnear moved Cameron from the midfield, the Dynamo responded with a three-game unbeaten streak and a two-game winning streak to move to the top of the MLS Eastern Conference standings.
"(Cameron) gives us a bit of pace back there, which I think we've been missing," teammate Brian Ching said. "I think Geoff feels a little bit more comfortable back there. Obviously, he and Bobby (Boswell) have formed a pretty good partnership over the past few years before last year, before Geoff stepped up in the midfield.
"They're kind of getting back into form. I don't think they're exactly where they want to be there, but I think it's great to have Geoff back there."
More Information
Sept. 24: Dynamo 1, FC Dallas 0.
Record: 10-9-12.
Saturday: Chicago at Robertson Stadium, 3 p.m.
TV/radio: TeleFutura; 790 AM and 850 AM (Spanish).
Better late than never
During the two-game win streak, the Dynamo put together two strong defensive efforts, including a shutout. Saturday's 1-0 win over FC Dallas was also the team's first road victory of the year.
Cameron and Boswell have been the two center backs during the winning streak. Andre Hainault, who has easily been the team's best defender all year, has been moved to right back. In place of Cameron, Luiz Camargo and Adam Moffat have handled the two central midfielders' roles.
That alignment proved quite powerful on Saturday when Hainault was free to play on the right side, where he completely shut down young U.S. national star and MLS MVP candidate Brek Shea.
"Geoff's a good player, but to be totally honest, it doesn't come down to one person," said teammate and fellow All-Star Brad Davis. "Like everybody else, (you can't succeed) without the guys around you. It's a total team effort battling. He made some great plays this weekend along with the rest of our team.
"Hopefully, he continues to play well and the rest of the team continues to stay at the level that we're at right now."
Not broken, no fixing
With three games left in the season, the Dynamo are likely to stick with their current defensive alignment of speedy All-Star Corey Ashe at left back, Boswell and Cameron at center back, and Hainault at right back.
Cameron can definitely still help the attack, which was evident when he scored the winning goal on a header against FC Dallas.
"Maybe I just bring a different style back there," Cameron said. "Saying that, I think guys who have been playing there … they've been playing well all season. I think I just bring in a little bit more speed back there covering ground.
"But I think everybody's been pretty good back there all year. Dom just wanted to switch it up and give me an opportunity at center back"

National Farmer's Bank, Owatonna, Minnesota - Louis Sullivan
National Farmer's Bank, Owatonna, Minnesota - Louis Sullivan - 1908
In 19o6 architect Louis Sullivan criticised the then-traditional bank with its classical ornament and layout in an article in The Craftsman -- read by musician-turned-banker Carl Bennett, Sullivan was challenged to "suggest how to obtain something better than the usual Roman bank."
The Owatonna National Farmers' Bank in Minnesota was the result: a variegated brick cube sparely, beautifully and thematically ornamented and proportioned, and judged by Frank Lloyd Wright to be the best of the many banks Sullivan was to build in this later part of his career.

Houston Dynamo Support Groups Squash the Drama, Unite Forces
Marco Torres
It's an hour before game time on a late Saturday afternoon and members of the Texian Army and La Bateria congregate in a modest grassy area outside of Robertson Stadium. The Dynamo support groups have been camped out here since 1 p.m. in advance of seeing the home team take on the Columbus Crew.
"We're either very loyal or very bored," says an orange-and-sky-blue clad Texian Army dude in between pulls from a longneck beer. If this were a Major League Soccer playoff match, this Dynamo fan and his fellow diehards would have been here, in the oppressive heat, 24 hours before kickoff.
Marco Torres
The two groups -- along with El Batallón and Brickwall Firm, who are tipping back a few on the other side of Robertson -- are in charge of making a mutha-effing raucous during Dynamo home matches. For the first time since 2007, the four contingents, comprised of young and middle-aged folks from all sorts of racial backgrounds, post up together at one end of the stadium and go wild for 90-plus minutes.
It wasn't always a cohesive effort, due to some beef between Texian Army and El Batallón that forced Dynamo officials to separate the groups. However, in advance of the new $110 million stadium (scheduled for a summer 2012 opening) that will feature a special support-group section in the lower bowl, front office personnel asked everyone to, once again, merge forces.
The move so far has been a success, according to Texian Army and La Bateria. The latter, who last year broke off from TA but still coexists with the team's longest standing group, admits that there used to be "some drama, but [then] we got rid of the roaches."
Houston's soccer scene is a-okay, according to Chris Clemence.

Chris Clemence is one of TA's most vocal and recognizable fans. Today, Clemence, who clinches a cigar in a mouth that's difficult to spot amidst black-and-white face paint, waxes poetic about the growth of MLS as a whole. He points to the fact that several clubs, including the Chicago Fire and Sporting Kansas City, can now boast their own stadiums instead of sharing real estate with their respective NFL franchises.
Before moving to Houston, Clemence lived in Kansas City, where he backed the Kansas City Wizards, which was the team's name up until last year. Clemence says that in some ways, KC is weak sauce compared to the Bayou City soccer scene "because [Houston's] a bigger and more diverse city," says Clemence, who polishes off his beer and starts to break down the tailgate.
Moments later, Texian Army and La Bateria start marching towards Robertson. TA is in charge of the chants and flag-waving while La Bateria, under the sonic direction of a cat named Daniel, provides the music that usually includes a host of trumpets, trombones and drums.
Once inside, the groups go to town on their brass axes and vocal chords. To change up the relentless chants and percussion, the fans shout, whenever the opposing goalkeeper approaches and executes a free kick, "Oooooooh puto!" (In case you're unfamiliar with the meaning of puto, hit up Urban Dictionary.)
And though their team is shut out this evening by a 2-0 count, they'll willingly be back some six hours before the next home game to do it all over again.

Tractography refers to the in vivo reconstruction of fiber bundles, e.g., in brain, via the analysis of anisotropic diffusion patterns measured by diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI). The data provides a probabilistic model of local diffusion which was shown to correlate with the underlying fibrous structure under certain assumptions. Deterministic tractography suffers from uncertainties at kissing and crossing fibers, at different levels depending on the diffusion model employed (e.g., DTI, HARDI), yet it is easy to interpret and use in clinic. In this study, a novel generic algorithm, split and merge tractography (SMT), is proposed that provides a real-time, interactive and reliability ranked assessment of potential pathways, communicating the true information content of the data without sacrificing the usability of tractography. Specifically, SMT takes in a precomputed set of tracts and the diffusion data (e.g., DTI, HARDI) as its input, generates a set of short (reliable) tracts via splitting at unreliable points and forms quasi-random clusters of short tracts by means of which the space of short tract clusters, representing complete tracts, is sampled. A histogram of thus formed clusters is built in an efficient way and used for real-time, interactive assessment of pathways. The current implementation uses DTI and fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration based streamline tractography as its input. The method is qualitatively assessed on phantom DTI data and real DTI data. Phantom experiments demonstrated that SMT is capable of highlighting the problematic regions and suggesting pathways that are completely overseen by input streamline tractography. Real data experiment results correlate well with known anatomy and also demonstrate that the reliability ranking can efficiently suppress the erroneous tracts interactively. The method is compared to a recent method that also pursues a similar approach, yet in a global optimization based framework. The c- mparative study on real DTI data revealed the lower computational load of SMT and a better correlation with known anatomy.

Who Will Cry for the Little Boy?: Poems (Hardcover)
Email or call for price
Special Order
With the publication of Finding Fish, his memoir of a childhood spent in foster homes in and around Cleveland, Antwone Fisher shared with the world his story of perseverance, determination, and courage. And he also showed that within him beat the heart of an artist -- a major factor in his resilience and recovery.
Now with Who Will Cry for the Little Boy?, his first collection of poetry, Antwone Fisher reveals the inner truths that took him from a tumultuous childhood to the man he is today. The powerful poems presented here range from impressions and expressions of Antwone's years growing up to the love that he has gained from the family he made for himself as an adult.
From the title poem -- which is featured prominently in the movie Antwone Fisher -- a plaintive, haunting tribute to a childhood lost to abuse and neglect, to "Azure Indigo," the uplifting and touching poem about his daughters, many readers will find their own feelings and experiences reflected in this lyrical and passionate collection.
About the Author
Antwone Fisher is the author of the New York Times bestseller Finding Fish. He is also the screenwriter of the film Antwone Fisher, based on his life and directed by Academy Award winner Denzel Washington. Fisher lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two daughters.

Ministry Clarifies Rules on Global Mergers
NEW DELHI -- The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has put out is final word that only global mergers involving companies with a significant presence in India will require its approval.
The Ministry issued the clarification last week. It will start monitoring and regulating transactions from Wednesday.
Only global mergers in which the target company has a presence in India and revenue of at least 7.50 billion rupees, an asset base of at least 2.50 billion rupees would need to be approved by the Competition Commission, said Dhanendra Kumar, chairman of the Commission.
The Ministry's March notification, which had defined threshold limits in terms of assets and revenue, had not qualified whether these numbers referred to the target company's global assets or turnover or just its presence in India.
The lack of clarity led to significant confusion among multinational companies and corporate lawyers.
Mr. Kumar said the idea is to exempt companies that have no significant presence in India and, therefore, cannot be seen as adversely affecting competition in the country.
"This is a welcome development for global mergers particularly and will keep many global mergers, which would not have any bearing on the Indian market, out of the [orbit] of merger notification requirements," said Samir Gandhi, partner at Economic Laws Practice.
A global merger is one that involves two global companies or an Indian firm and a global one.
Vinod Dhall, former acting chairman of the Commission, said the clarification is a step in the right direction.
"This is a timely correction as it appears the words 'in India' were inadvertently missed by the [Ministry], which sent wrong signals to companies and corporate lawyers," he added.
Mr. Dhall further clarified that the companies would have to exceed both thresholds to fall under the ambit of the norms. For instance, if the target company's asset base is 2 billion rupees (against the prescribed 2.50 billion rupees), but revenue is 20 billion rupees (above the threshold), "the [transaction] will still be exempt" from the Ministry's purview, he said.
The Commission's Mr. Kumar said Indian companies that acquire firms in other countries would benefit because they would not have to seek the Commission's approval if the target has no presence, or only a small one, in India.

Burfict ready for new role with Bengals
Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict wants to be a star. His definition of being a star is different than most. It has nothing to do with limelight, everything to do with team.
CINCINNATI -- The art of tackling is a football essential. If you can't tackle, the opposing team tends to score a lot of points against you.
No one in the NFL made more tackles last season than Vontaze Burfict. The Bengals linebacker made 171 tackles by the official count of the league statisticians. Coaches like to keep their own count after watching film. They usually tend to be a little more generous in the tackling totals. Burfict's coaches credited him with 204 stops.
Regardless of the number, the player who two years ago at this time was considered too radioactive to touch by nearly everyone in the NFL except for Marvin Lewis, is now a leader of one of the best defenses in the league. Burfict is an every-down linebacker who can stuff running backs, cover them out of the backfield and drop into coverage against tight ends and wide receivers alike.
There are players in the league like Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu who could be lined up anywhere on the field on a given play and wreak havoc. Quarterbacks have to find them. Quarterbacks won't have to look long to find Burfict. The Bengals don't hide him. They don't move him around all that much. Just because you know where he's at doesn't mean you've got an advantage on Burfict.
"He's a guy who is really instinctive. He has that trait so he can see stuff before it happens a lot of times," said Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, who faces Burfict daily in practice. "People don't give him credit for how smart he is. He understands what offenses are trying to do, and then when he plays with the edge that he does he has all of the traits you want in a starting 'backer."
The Bengals began their final week of OTA practices Monday. Head coach Marvin Lewis closed up the practice with a stern message to the team followed up by some wind sprints.
"We needed a little bit of a reminder of what it's going to be like and what's important," said Lewis. "I think that we want to remind them we don't to be complacent at any point. We can't be complacent, we can't be average; we have to make sure we keep working. We keep doing the little things correct and moving forward with them. We can't go sideways at any point."
It's a message that gets delivered every now and then on the practice field, a message that is a constant in the meeting rooms and one that the players have learned to police themselves, said Burfict. He is just entering his third season but he is one of the senior members in the linebacker room. Rey Maualuga has the most experience with five previous seasons. Vinny Rey will be heading into his fifth season with the team.
Then comes Burfict.
Gone from last season's group are James Harrison and Michael Boley, guys who might not have played an abundance of snaps but were a veteran presence in the locker room. Even if their previous experience hadn't been with the Bengals and how then-defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer and then-linebackers coach Paul Guenther ran their rooms, they quickly caught on.
Burfict's style of play --seek and destroy-- is reminiscent of Harrison in his prime.
"I don't necessarily think it was because James was here but it was more about Tez getting comfortable," said Dalton. "He wasn't a rookie last year so he's kind of coming into his own. I think it was very similar to how James was for all of those years in Pittsburgh.
"Tez is definitely a guy you want on your team."

Burfict isn't afraid to be a presence. He wants to be a star, not for the limelight but what it means for the team. He was named to his first Pro Bowl last season as well as the AP All-Pro second-team. The Cincinnati chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America named Burfict the Bengals MVP. His next step is to take what has already been a considerable level of play, not by just himself but the entire defense, and find a way to raise it.
"To me, (leadership) means taking a team to where it's never been before," said Burfict. "I lead by example. Know the playbook in and out. When the coach calls my name I've got to be answering right. All of it is about taking a team to the Super Bowl. I think that defines a leader. There are multiple ways but I think that's my way of defining a leader."
Zimmer may now be the head coach in Minnesota but with Guenther calling the shots as the defensive coordinator there won't be many changes to the basic philosophy of the defense. It's layered. The defensive line plays run-first, then get after the passer. If the linemen are occupying blockers, that frees up linebackers to make their plays. The cornerbacks are expected to play a lot of man coverages and the safeties have to be versatile enough to play not just in the deep third but wherever needed.
It's a system that has led to the Bengals being ranked in the top seven of NFL defenses in four of the past five seasons.
Matt Burke is the new linebackers coach for the Bengals. He spent the past five seasons with Detroit. He's still just getting to know this new group of players but he's been well aware of Burfict from when he scouted Burfict at Arizona State.
"I think I erased all of my scouting notes on him," said Burke. "Everyone is familiar with the story and how that went down. Obviously there were 32 teams that passed on him and we (Lions) were one of them. I can't hide that fact but it's been great to see, even from afar, I always respect and appreciate players who come up from whatever circumstances they are under."
Burfict has made a lot of people erase their scouting notes.
"As an outsider coming in, you know that you don't have 170-some tackles without getting to the ball. That speaks to his effort level," said Burke. "But he does it within the system. He does it within the scheme. He knows when he can take a shot at coming under a block or when he has to cross face. He always gets to the ball but he's not guessing. A lot of times guys will take shots and guess and that puts them out of position.
"His effort level, his intensity and his want to getting to the ball is there but he's also doing it in the right sort of format. He's rarely out of position."
The playoff loss to San Diego still stings. So much has been made of how Dalton and offense didn't play its best, to say the least, but a defense that built its persona on being more physical than the opponent and often times setting the table for the offense got pushed around by the Chargers in the second half.
"It leaves a bad taste and makes you work hard in the offseason but nobody brings it up," said Burfict of the loss. "We just come in each day to get better and understand the defense. Coach G (Guenther) was telling us that like the Spurs and how they won (the NBA Finals). They're not the greatest athletically but they know their system. If everybody knows the system -- d ends, safeties, corners, backups if anyone goes down -- if everyone knows the system you don't have to have the greatest athleticism. Because we have so many people that are athletic and competitive, our backups are, and if we all know the system we can't be beat."

My 9YO has the original Spore for DS so when he heard there was one available for the wii, he wanted it. Compared with other wii games for the same price, I thought it was lacking. The two-player features only battle mode so it is essentially a one-player game (much to the dismay of my other two). However, he thinks it is great and worth the $50 we paid for it. Spore has built such a sought after product that they can essentially charge whatever they want for it.
Bought this for my 7 year old son for Christmas. He thinks it is fun because you can build your own monster and it isn't too hard for him to play. It keeps things interesting by changing worlds and is just a lot of fun to play!
My son is almost 13. We got him this game for Christmas along with 4 other Wii games. This is the one he has played the most. He absolutely loves it!
Got this game for my sons 9th B-day. He can't stop playing it.
Walmart was the only one who had it in stock and didn't want a arm & a leg.
It was an alright game and I spent 10-12 hours playing it. The plot could hardly be called imaginative and was quite pradicable, the parts and bodys could only be chaged or scaled but not rotated or otherwize adjusted, there was little replayability, and it would be frustrating when they reword 10-15 mins of work on a puzzle with a unwanted part such as a set of decritive flowers or a infearior part. On the other hand there was a lot of challenges and original puzzles spread through out the game, more parts than the original spore for PC, and a beautiful world.
Over all I would say that this game is worth playing BUT I wouldn't spend more than 30$ on it.
I got this gift for my 6 yr old son, and his 5 yr old cousin - so this way they can play the same game when they see each other. My 6 yr old has been having a blast with this game and "creating" his own hero's uses his imagination! I would recommend!
Good graphics. Good use of the interactive remote but could be better. Some of the tasks are just too easy, others about right. Is a fairly short story line leaves you wanting a sequel. I receivied as a gift, so cannot say anything about price.
Very extensive creature creation if you like that sort of thing as well.
Cannot play online, single player only.
When first got the game I played every few days - my daughter likes it (11 yr old) very much!
It was in perfect new condition, my son really enjoys this game
It's fun, but not what I was hoping. I still like it, but I will probably just let my kids play it.

Skip to comments.Meet Trouble, the world's tallest cat (who is part African wildcat but is docile as a kitten)
Posted on 01/02/2012 7:29:33 AM PST by aldabra
When Trouble comes around, hes hard to miss.
Thats because the Sacramento, California cat is 19 inches tall from paw to shoulder, making him the tallest cat in the world. ...
Trouble is part house cat and part African serval cat, a recognised hybrid called a Savannah, but his height is still surprising, even for his breed. ...
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
My dream cat! Would love an F1 Savannah Cat!
Trouble is purr-ty.
Can I have that kitty cat?
Hold me like that and I'll be docile too.
Kitty ping...
Dang, that's a good sized cat. I bet that horse behind her is thinking "hope it doesn't get hungry."
Don't miss this post. What a cat!
Wow...that's a cool cat.
That is either one small woman or one huge cat!
They're both kinda cute, though...
One of my favs, too! I love some many cat breeds, but I've always been partial to the regular ol' American Shorthair classic tabby. Have one now that will be 19 in March.
What they say.... "Longcat is... LO-O-O-O-ONG."
You interrupted Longcat.
It is not a birth control method.
And the picture reveals the secret of his serenity...
The title of the article is misleading. An African Wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica) is not the same as a Serval (Leptailurus serval or Caracal serval).
All domesticated cats are descended from the African wildcat, which has a body length up to about 30 inches, and weighs in at about 14 lbs. The Serval has a body length of about 36 inches and males weigh up to 40 lbs.
The former looks much like a regular sandy brown to yellow-grey housecat, the Serval is sometimes mistaken for a young Cheetah.
I have a cat (Bob) who is a pixie bob. He has spots like this guy and he's big but not tall weighing about 18 pounds. He was born with a tail but all his siblings were bob cats so his breeder bobbed him too (grrrrr) so he is not the most coordinated cat and since I'm sure that some of his brain was bobbed too - he's not the smartest cat I've ever owned. He's pretty much a one person cat (me) and down right hostile towards my granddaughter who has been known to tease him. He is totally bonded to the house and yard and so we let him go out during the day. He's always back by dark and sleeps happily in the garage where he has his own little cat house. He is no more a threat to the birds than I am, in fact, he's sort of a afraid of them and doesn't climb or jump.
She's a feisty one. She should have been gone 7 years ago when she nearly died from a newly diagnosed Triad Disease. She was 18lbs at her heaviest, and was below 6 when she nearly died. She has outlived all other animals she grew up with, and has been with me almost half my life. Right now, she acts like a kitten, more so than ever before, and keeps the dogs in line. She truly has been a blessing in my life.
aka Stretch Armstrong
LOL! Post of the day!
I hate cats.
I own two...actually...I exist at their pleasure.
I am a big male guard dog type.
But I do like robust male kitties..indoor-outdoor types...I have land...they love to kill crap.
And bring it home for me to applaud.
as much as I hate cats, they sleep on our bed
the dogs who could actually defend us and save our lives do not
cats have gotten in my head...they are controlling me with their stare
am I the only one?
That cat would make a pretty decent alarm clock! :)

The user gets the UAC prompt when they start the program. Use wisely; their patience can wear out quickly.
Adding a requestedExecutionLevel element to your manifest is only half the battle; you have to remember that UAC can be turned off. If it is, you have to perform the check the old school way and put up an error dialog if the user is not administrator (call IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator) on your thread's CurrentPrincipal).
You can embed a manifest file in the EXE file, which will cause Windows (7 or higher) to always run the program as an administrator.
You can find more details in Step 6: Create and Embed an Application Manifest (UAC) (MSDN).
I implemented some code to do it manually:
In Visual Studio 2010 right click your project name. Hit "View Windows Settings", this generates and opens a file called "app.manifest". Within this file replace "asInvoker" with "requireAdministrator" as explained in the commented sections within the file.

As some projects don't automatically add a separate manifest file, first go to project properties, navigate to the Application tab and check to make sure your project is not excluding the manifest at the bottom of the tap.
Right click your executable, go to Properties > Compatibility and check the 'Run this program as admin' box.
If you want to run it as admin for all users, do the same thing in 'change setting for all users'.

Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnership (MAPP) - MAPP is a community-wide strategic planning tool used for improving public health by helping communities prioritize public health issues, identifying resources for addressing those issues, and taking action.
In August 2013, a group of community leaders formed Impact DuPage, a county-wide initiative aimed at creating a common understanding of community needs, gaps, and priorities that will advance the well-being of the DuPage County community. The initiative uses a collective impact approach - a common agenda, shared measurement, mutually reinforcing activities, continuous communication, and a strong backbone - to drive DuPage forward.
Using MAPP, Impact DuPage completed a county-wide assessment in 2014. The components of this assessment can be viewed here. Partners are currently developing an Action Plan to address the priorities identified in the assessment. For more information about Impact DuPage visit www.impactdupage.org.
In August 2010, the DuPage County Health Department completed the 2015 IPLAN MAPP planning process. The six MAPP phases and assessments are listed below. The Health Department used MAPP, and the following assessments, to develop its 2015 Community Health Improvement Plan.
