What I don't like, is that with such an opportunity for a fresh start, they decide to go with a bunch of shadows, gradients, etc. The internet has enough of that. I like their font (ubuntu). So I did a quick 30 minute redesign with just some blue, white and somewhat balanced typography.

text: The New York Giants lead the league with 28 sacks, and second-year player Jason Pierre-Paul is the guy who gets to the quarterback with the most frequency.Pierre-Paul (6-foot-5, 278 pounds) is a tremendous athlete, as he proved a couple years ago when he dominated a competition with a South Florida teammate with 14 consecutive backflips.And he has shown that athleticism this season with 9.5 sacks. As I looked at each of those sacks this season, four were achieved when he beat the man assigned to block him off the snap. But the other 5.5 sacks were recorded a lengthy time after the snap because he did not give up on the play when the opposing quarterback held the ball too long."He will move around quite a bit," 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman said. "He's having a phenomenal year, he's a very good player, as are all their front seven. They'll move him around quite a bit. They move their defensive front and rotate them in and out quite a bit. So they get a fresh rotation and you really can't book who's going to be where."Pierre-Paul's sacks have come while he lined up at five different spots on the defensive line: right defensive end (4.5), right defensive tackle (two), and left defensive end, left defensive tackle and nose tackle (one apiece).Here's a look at each of Pierre-Paul's sacks this season:Game 1 at Washington (2 sacks): 1. Third quarter, second and 8, lined up at right defensive end, shoves left tackle Trent Williams backward and gets to Rex Grossman in less than 3 seconds; 2. Fourth quarter, third and 9, lined up at right defensive end, gives Williams head move to outside and went inside to sack Grossman in 3 seconds to force fumble.Game 2 vs. St. Louis (.5 sack): Fourth quarter, first and 10, lined up at right defensive end, with 2 minutes remaining, initially blocked well by left tackle Rodger Saffold, he manages to get around him but falls down in the process. He trips up Sam Bradford in the backfield 4.8 seconds after the snap and shares the sack with teammate Justin Tuck.Game 3 at Philadelphia (2 sacks): 1. First quarter, third and 11, lined up at right defensive end, blew past left tackle Jason Peters and attempted chip block of running back LeSean McCoy to get to Michael Vick in about 2.5 seconds. He missed the tackle, but came back and got Vick 6.3 seconds after the snap of the ball; 2. Fourth quarter, first and 10, lined up at right defensive tackle, shoved past rookie Jason Kelce to sack Mike Kafka in less than 3 seconds. Game 4 at Arizona: No sacks. Game 5 vs. Seattle (2 sacks): 1. Second quarter, first and 15, lined up at left defensive end, accelerated past rookie right tackle James Carpenter with an inside move to sack Tarvaris Jackson before he could get rid of the ball; 2. Second quarter, second and 4, lined up at left defensive tackle and was blocked well by rookie guard John Moffitt. Pierre-Paul's sack came 5.5 seconds after the snap when Jackson moved up toward the line of scrimmage, where he was tackled 1 yard behind the line of scrimmage.Game 6 vs. Buffalo (1 sack): Second quarter, third and 16, lined up over center Eric Wood in a three-man line, then worked a stunt, where he was picked up by rookie left tackle Chris Hairston, the play was blocked well, but Ryan Fitzpatrick held onto the ball and the sack occurred 5 seconds after the snap.Game 7 vs. Miami (1 sack): Fourth quarter, first and 10, lined up at right defensive end, Pierre-Paul never got off the line of scrimmage against tight end Anthony Fasano (granted, it looked as if he as being held). When Matt Moore ran out of bounds approximately 6 seconds after the snap, Pierre-Paul was the closest defender, thus credited with the sack.Game 8 at New England (1 sack): Second quarter, third and 7, lined up at right defensive tackle, bull-rushed forward in a pile and when backup center Ryan Wendell fell backward, Pierre-Paul came free inside. Brady initially ducked under Pierre-Paul, who scrambled back to his feet and sacked Brady 5 seconds after the snap.

The Initial Formation Of Business Networks: How To Capture The Process Of Strategising
This paper discusses how network pictures can be used as a methodological tool to capture the process of strategising over time. The aim of this paper is to identify ways to capture the process of strategising based on how the networking of companies interplays with their ideas of future network positions. The authors use three cases of start-up companies to elaborate on strategising and the initial developments of their networks. The strategising involves changes in three related dimensions: The business relationships, the connections between business relationships, and the companies' products/offerings.

Whenever you create a new folder, you have to hit the enter key TWICE because first it'll throw an error that "there is no such file..". Okay. Then if you try to delete some, this happens also. Renaming is the same.
I tried adding a "2" to the end of the folder name, hit enter and got this. Here I can press cancel, nothing happens. If I press retry, the popup disappears and it'll finally change the folder name.
I can't come up with anything for this. Using BitDefender (registered, full protection), Windows 7 Ultimate Retail 32-bit (boxed, English version). The other PC had the same anti-virus protection , but it had Windows 7 64-bit. Both systems are activated, updated totally. I don't remember installing any new stuff on the PCs. All the stuff on the PCs are legal, no cracked / any other software present. It just happened, so to say. Already reinstalled the other PC because I thought * I * messed up something and its just something FUBAR. However, I dont want to reinstall my laptop also.
Any ideas are welcome. (Today I had a strange bug. Windows Explorer had 1.0+gb memory usage with 100% cpu. Killed it, launched a new explorer.exe and thats all. Nothing changed, but it may worth a try. The other PC did NOT have this problem, ever.)
Isn't there a registry fix for this or something?

Mafioso: The 4 Stages Of A Man's Life
stage 1
Young, dumb & full of impulses In this stage: You think with your heart.
Your mentor: Nobody.
We'll consider the first stage of a man's life as approximately the first 25 youthful years. In this stage, you're far from being a man. Everything you do is reckless and not planned out. You're a risk-taker because you don't know how dangerous the risks are. You don't think about the consequences of your actions.
You think of your needs, your desires. You're a selfish bastard. You have no need or respect for authority. Worse, you think you know everything there is to know about life, yet you know nothing. You could be smart, but you're not smart enough — you're a stronzo. You're blinded by your inexperience and stupidity. You chase skirts like a baboon. You're a kid in a candy store.
What should you be doing in this stage? Keeping your mouth shut and learning from others. Plain and simple. You will fall down. Just make sure you're falling down a flight of stairs, not the Grand Canyon. Be smart about your risks because burning people you might need in the future is not smart. Cement friendships, cement loyalties. You're too dumb and stupid to orchestrate a revolution; learn what you need to know to do that in the next stage of a man's life. Stay ambitious, but have a plan for that ambition. Find a good woman who will clean and cook for you... you need a strong foundation.
Biggest strength: You're fearless and ambitious.
Biggest weakness: You think you know it all, yet you don't even know your own elbow.
stage 2
Older, smarter, but not wise yet In this stage: You think with your heart and brain.
Your mentor: People who have accomplished what you want to achieve.
The second stage of life starts when things just start to "click." Things that weren't clear before suddenly come into focus.
You start to understand how the world works and realize that only the guys with power and money mean anything because they control all the chips in the world. In the game of life, they're always the players at the table who make the decisions.
You realize that life is a game, and that even though there are rules, it is those who bend them to the extreme who get ahead. At times, if there are no rules in the game, that's OK too, and you learn how to play along. You realize the world is great but corrupt, and you must adapt. You're gaining a bit of wisdom.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're still in Stage 1, even if your driver's license says you were born in 1952. Those who know what I'm talking about know that I don't need to explain what these "rules" are. There is no damn instruction booklet you get on your 30th birthday. They know what they are because they understand the ways of the world. It's all about the "click" theory. Capisce? No? Wait a few years.
In this stage of life, you start to respect and appreciate authority...

It's been two weeks to the day since my Da Vinci Robotic Laparscopic Myomectomy.
The first memory I had awaking from surgery was being moved from the gurney to the bed in my room. There was a mattress that blew up, the nurses slid me across then I was turned from one side to the next as they carefully rolled me to remove it. I felt exhausted and pain was present in various places.
The doctor explained that the surgery had taken longer than expected but he felt it had gone well. I nodded as he explained I had no need for a hysterectomy (he knew it was a fear) but the reason for the delay was because my largest fibroid was in necrosis. He said he'd see me the next day and off he went.
As I opened my mouth to respond to one of the nurses, the pain of my throat became evident.The nurse asked if she could get me anything so my first word was ICE. The ice wasn't enough for me so I asked for water. The incision pain was there but the nurses near immediately gave me a dose of morphine which also knocked me out again.
When I woke, the incision pain was still there and I was beginning to feel what I believe is known as shoulder strap pain but for me, it was collarbone pain. This pain STILL aches me, it peaked during the first week but I believe it will get better as I become more active and able to lift heavier things to work out the gas.
The first meal after surgery was a clear one: broth, jello, lemon ice. Breakfast I decided to go high fiber and get oatmeal. I was STARVING but could only fit a few bites and tablespoons of lunch. When the Dr came for his rounds he told me again that the surgery went well but lasted a long time because "the fibroid was like touching wet tissue paper" but if I healed well, I should be able to start trying in 6 months or so. No sex for 6 weeks, take it easy and just heal. I was released shortly after lunch.
BRING A PILLOW FOR THE CAR RIDE HOME. The car ride home and to the pharmacy to pick up pain meds was traumatizing. I wished I had a pillow. Once home, I stayed on the second floor of my house for a full week. Each day as I felt more up to it, I walked a little more but I became painfully aware that you use your abdominal muscles for A LOT. I used a pillow for a lot of things. Coughing and sneezing were also traumatizing.
Make sure to pick up a stool softener, my intake definitely did not match my output. It took a FULL week before things started working again and a few days before they were working like normal. My belly growled, quivered, popped and punched. I took Gas X extra strength twice a day. It seemed to give relief from eating as well as the shoulderstrap/collarbone pain. I also added going up and down the stairs. The first time I went down, I stayed for a while to gear up for the trip back. It was also around this time I was able to stand straight somewhat comfortably and the stirry strips fell off. The incisions were small and looked very good.
I wound up taking the pain meds longer than expected. I thought I'd be able to be off the prescription meds in less than a week but found I needed to take it for a full week then at night for a couple days. Those meds could have also been a contributing factor to the intake/output issue.
I left the house for the first time 9 days after surgery- sans pillow. 11 days post, I went to a party for a two hours, I didn't press my limitations sitting the majority of the time but was feeling much better at this point. I was encouraged by the appearance of my scars. There was no discharge, redness and minimal tenderness. Because I drive manual, I have not added driving back yet.
Yesterday was my first follow up appointment. DP and I expected the doctor to take a look at my scar progress and say I was healing up well. The news was devestatingly harsh. The pathology results showed that although my specimen was negative for malignancy, there is atypical activity.
Because the tumor was necrotic, the dr. can not be certain that all of it was removed or of what it will turn in to. His recommendation is hysterectomy and constant monitering until that is done. I can choose NOT to BUT no matter what I still have to be scanned and monitered periodically.
My dr is a specialist in uterine disorders. This is something he's never seen before. I have to wonder, is there anyone else who's had this type of irregular pathology report?

1095 Avenue Of The Americas is a 630 ft (192m) tall skyscraper in New York City, New York. It was constructed from 1972 to 1974 as headquarters of New York Telephone and has 41 floors.[citation needed] The building also served as the headquarters of NYNEX and Bell Atlantic.[1] Kahn & Jacobs designed the building, which is the 61st tallest in New York. From 2006 to 2007 the tower received a $260 million renovation which upgraded the office space from Class B+ to Class A office space.[citation needed] The phone company moved its headquarters to the Verizon Building in the early 2000s, and sold off most of the building, retaining a condominium interest in floors 6-12, where Verizon maintained offices and a telephone exchange serving landlines in Midtown Manhattan. However, in 2013 the company moved its corporate headquarters back to 1095 Avenue of the Americas,[2] following a sale of the upper floors of the Verizon Building.
In addition to Verizon, other major tenants as of late 2008 include insurance giant MetLife (whose name is outside above the entryway), law firm Dechert LLP, iStar Financial, Lloyds Banking Group, Instinet, and Standard Chartered USA. [3]

Most Helpful
Tender and spicy and rich and crunchy - these are good! I halved the recipe, and used a clove of garlic, sauteed with the onion, instead of garlic salt. I made no changes other than that. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.
Having a party, are we? You turned sauerkraut into amazeballs.

The 29-year-old, who joined Anzhi from Lokomotiv Moscow in January, will be out for up to eight months, the wealthy club from the volatile North Caucasus region said on their website.
Yeshchenko was injured in a 4-0 defeat at FK Krasnodar on Sunday when Anzhi also lost fellow Russia international Oleg Shatov, who will miss up to three weeks with a pulled hamstring.
Big spenders Anzhi, chasing their first Russian league title, are already missing several leading players, such as captain Samuel Eto'o, Brazilian playmaker Willian and Russia winger Yuri Zhirkov, through injury.
Sunday's defeat left Anzhi in third place, 10 points behind leaders CSKA Moscow with eight games remaining.

NMMI AD accused of groping woman at Virginia event
ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Military Institute's athletic director has been accused of groping a woman at an alumni event in northern Virginia earlier this year.
The attorney for Reginald W. Franklin says the [auth] allegations are untrue and his client looks forward to his day in court.
The Roswell Daily Record reports the 57-year-old Franklin voluntarily surrendered to authorities in Virginia's Fairfax County after an arrest warrant was issued for sexual battery.
Franklin, of Roswell, is out of jail on bond. At a court hearing last Friday, his case was continued to Nov. 14.
Authorities say the allegations involve the wife of another alum and reportedly occurred at a Feb. 22 function in McLean, Virginia.
Prosecutors say a misdemeanor sexual battery charge carries a sentence of up to one year in jail.

The Lizzie Robinson House, located at 2864 Corby Street in North Omaha, Nebraska, United States, is the location of the first Church of God in Christ congregation in the state. Built in 1910, the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 1993, and was designated an Omaha landmark on June 9, 1992.[3]
Edward and Lizzie Robinson founded the first Church of God in Christ in the state of Nebraska after they moved to Omaha in 1916. The Robinsons resided here with their daughter, Ida Baker, from 1916 through 1924.[4] According to the City of Omaha, "Mrs. Robinson is significant historically for her role as organizer of the women's ministry for the Church of God in Christ, the largest African American Pentecostal denomination in the world."[5]

Ubiquitination, the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to a target protein, regulates most cellular processes and is involved in several neurological disorders. In particular, Angelman syndrome and one of the most common genomic forms of autism, dup15q, are caused respectively by lack of or excess of UBE3A, a ubiquitin E3 ligase. Its Drosophila orthologue, Ube3a, is also active during brain development. We have now devised a protocol to screen for substrates of this particular ubiquitin ligase. In a neuronal cell system, we find direct ubiquitination by Ube3a of three proteasome-related proteins Rpn10, Uch-L5, and CG8209, as well as of the ribosomal protein Rps10b. Only one of these, Rpn10, is targeted for degradation upon ubiquitination by Ube3a, indicating that degradation might not be the only effect of Ube3a on its substrates. Furthermore, we report the genetic interaction in vivo between Ube3a and the C-terminal part of Rpn10. Overexpression of these proteins leads to an enhanced accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, further supporting the biochemical evidence of interaction obtained in neuronal cells.

I am not an expert in this field but I need help with my EvoX on my old XBOX.
I will try to explain as good as I can:
My Xbox has been working as it should for appr 4 years. It has EvoX with a 160GB harddrive.
The startmenu has always been "play games...", "Mediacenter" etc.
Now the only menuoptions on the startpage is:
- MS Dashboard
- Reboot
- Power off
- Settings
- Backup
Do anyone know what has happened? Could it be that anyone changed anything in the settings?
It says "Gemini EvoX Setup CD v2.0" in the top of the screen.
Under settings there are a lot of info/options, for example "Bios version" is "unknown", is this normal?
Any help is highly appreciated.

You should have ftp access to your xbox since evox is running. Locate evox.ini and google for a stock version of the same file and compare the entries. Replace if necessary.

That just means that your BIOS hash is not in your evox.ini. You can manually add it if you want, but it isn't necessary.

Pacific Institute
Rating: 0 stars 0 0 review 683
432 Ivy Street San Francisco CA 94102 USA
Pacific Institute's mission is to promote individual and community wellness and to advance, disseminate, and preserve knowledge in existential fields with healing and evolving purposes. Pacific Institute supports this mission by promoting global awareness in our staff, students, and affiliates and by creating learning opportunities that reach toward service and compassion in the highest possible sense. Pacific Institute strives toward the recovery of meaning in our lives, that is, a central place of concern; commitment, devotion, and energy from which we can plan and direct our work back to the community.
Specifically, the Institute has three main projects. The Gerontological Wellness Program is dedicated to the direct delivery of services and brings a comprehensive concept of care to residential care facilities for aging adults, seniors, and residents with mental health issues. Emphasizing the emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of aging, licensed mental health professionals, interns, and trainees work in concert with residential care facilities in San Francisco and the Bay Area to provide psycho-social-spiritual care to residents within the facilities. In our innovative work with the elderly, we emphasize the aging process as a challenging and rewarding period that is neglected not only by the individuals themselves but also by our communities and health professionals. The second project is the Institute's Educational Programs which include professional internship, professional development, and public lecture programs. The Internship actually provides two programs within the same internship: The Gerontological Wellness Program Internship and the Intensive Clinical Training Program. These programs provide training for Master's level and Ph.D. level graduate students and professionals in mental health, nursing, and social work related to Gerontology. The programs are not only vitally important for the improved care of the Bay Area's aging population, but serve as training grounds for professionals whose career goals include the complete well-being of the elderly. The Institute's Intensive Clinical Training Program within the internship is a joint program with the City of San Francisco Public Health Department and the Community Behavioral Health Services (CBHS). The ICT program offers interns and trainees the challenging opportunity of receiving training, providing direct services, and being part of the cutting-edge Community Behavioral Health Services of the City of San Francisco. Using Pacific Institute's philosophy of training, students have the opportunity to learn from and support individuals, families, and groups served by the CBHS. Some of the services to which trainees and interns will be introduced include: psychiatric emergency services, mobile crisis, suicide prevention, urgent care, intensive and residential treatment, and homeless shelter-based services. Pacific Institute's second major educational project is its Continuing Professional Education programs. The Institute provides a wide range of continuing professional education opportunities for psychologists, therapists, social workers, nurses, and other related professionals through direct delivery of continuing education programs. Our continuing education mission is to optimize patient care and delivery of services. To this end, our programs are designed to provide the most up-to-date information and strategies for clinicians and allied health professionals. Elders Academy Press is the third major project of Pacific Institute and is an expanding program with two communication purposes. It seeks to help change perceptions of the elderly and aging and develop a vision of a contemporary Elder. Recent publications include Faces of Aging by Nader Robert Shabahangi, Ph.D. and The Therapies of Literature by Richard W. Wiseman, Ph.D. with a Foreword by Rollo May. Publishing projects include an anthology celebrating the joys and challenges of aging, a book of poetry about aging, a book demystifying dementia, and a book regarding self-esteem issues of aging women.

We just had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and honestly we had never heard of it before. We are very familiar with Holiday Inn Express as my husband stays in them on business trips but this was new to us. We are thrilled that we stumbled across the Staybridge Suites. We snuck away for a couple of days, just the two of us so we really didn't need a suite, usually we are toting 4 children with us and do need the suites size rooms. We were very impressed and pleased. Pricing is great; room was clean and well stocked, well laid out. The amenities were abundant and accommodating. The staff was so pleasant and helpful in directing us to restaurants and local businesses. We planned to just drive the next day to a point unknown and we decided that that "point" would need to be near a Staybridge Suites location. Will be looking in to Staybridge Suites in the future for our vacation planning. Enjoyed and will recommend to others. Karen G.

SEC Turns Newly Opened Eye to Celebrity Board Directors
Companies may have to begin proving the celebrities they've appointed to their boards are actually smart.
Appointing celebrities to boards is a longstanding tradition. Companies do it because it gets them publicity and attention, and those onerous meetings tend to go by a lot faster when you're staring into the twinkling eyes of, say, Lance Armstrong, who served on the board of Morgans Hotel Group. Celebrities do it for the extra cash and because it makes them sound smart. Of course, they're not smart — at least not usually about whatever business they're on the board of. For instance, while it is true that Tommy Franks does have an entrepreneurial spirit, he doesn't really belong on Bank of America's auditing committee. OJ Simpson's wonderful performance in The Naked Gun movies really did not qualify him to discuss metrics at Infinity Broadcasting Corp meetings, and Lance in fact missed eleven of Morgans' board meetings in 2007, because after all, he's Lance Armstrong and has a bike to ride and starlets to date and a ball to look out for. At best, these appointments are a waste of space and money; at worst, they're taking up a slot someone decent could be occupying, and preventing companies from functioning better. And now the SEC has wised up, now that they've decided to start wising up to stuff.
Tomorrow they're meeting to discuss, among other things, new rules that will require people appointed to the boards of companies to know about the actual companies.
"What the SEC wants to do is prompt companies to make sure they're appointing directors who can do the job and not just look pretty on a roster," said Stephen Davis, a senior fellow at the Millstein Center for Corporate Governance and Performance at the Yale School of Management.
Right. It's just a suggestion. For now. Anyway, this is bad news for Vikram Pandit. We think he was about a hairbreadth away from nominating Heidi Montag to replace Robert Rubin on Citigroup's board, and why not? It wasn't like Rubin had a granular knowledge of operations anyway, and frankly, when it came to packaging air and selling it to consumers, Heidi is at least as good as anyone else out there. Shame, this new reality.

Hank Williams Jr. released this statement regarding his longtime manager and close friend, legendary songwriter Merle Kilgore, who passed away Feb. 6. "Merle was more to me than a manager," said Hank. "He was a father figure, he was a mentor, he was my business advisor, but most of all, Merle Kilgore, was my best friend. He's shared the good times with me and carried me through the bad-without judgment and without hesitation. He had heart, soul, compassion, business savvy, and a sense of humor. He's the definition of gentleman and scholar. I shall never know a greater man. The industry has lost an icon. I have lost a forever friend."

The more quicktag is available in Rubric and inserts into my post publisher when I click it. But when the post is published, it publishes the full text, rather than the first few paras followed by a link I could click through.
I'm not 100% which version of WordPress I'm using... I've just tried to check but it's been month since I wrote anything and I'm not even sure where to find that out anymore. I know isn't the newest one. Helpful.
I tried adding some code suggested on the forums for a similar problem in a different theme (as that was all I could find) to the stylesheet and pre-viewed it but it screwed up the header so I was obviously doing something wrong. It also said I had to pay for an upgrade in order to simply edit the stylesheet. This seems like rather a lot of effort for something that I would have thought should have been fairly easy to change?
Any suggestions?

Her first concert was a Britney Spears concert.
Her dad call himself her "Hollywood Firewall."
According to her, her first recollection of wanting to act was when she was 6.
Her dad (Marty Curran) wrote the song 'Quiver' that Brittany recorded for The Haunting Hour. It was considered to be used in the ending credits for the movie.
Her vocal coach's name is Rosemary Butler.
Brittany has appeared as Priscilla Wright in R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It alongside Emily Osment and Cody Linley of Disney Channel's Hannah Montana.
Brittany is 5'6".
Brittany: (on why she's never gotten rid of the acting bug) Can't don't ever want to.
Brittany: My other "best moments"- a kissing scene with Evan Ellingson in Complete Savages, a kissing scene with Drake Bell in Drake and Josh, and a kissing scene with Lucas Grabeel in my new feature film The Adventures of Food Boy. You know what the interesting thing is? I'm 17 and my only kisses in life have been on screen, never kissed a boy in real life. So, if you're "Mister Right", write to my agent! One of my funniest moments?! On the website IsTomCruiseNuts.com it was calculated that I would be Tom Cruise's next potential wife. Hilarious.
Brittany: (when asked about seeing all the young stars going out and becoming party girls) It's really sad to see the condition of some of my childhood role models. Too much, too soon obviously isn't good. Especially for kids who start too young. The work load and expectations puts too much pressure on little kids. Another problem is when parents don't hold their children accountable for bad behavior.
Brittany: (when asked if her parents were supportive of her career) Incredibly! My parents are supportive of everything my brother and I do!

If your doctor says you have a negative stress test, or that your cholesterol or blood pressure are normal, how assured can you be that you're not likely to have a heart attack in the next seven to 10 years? Assessing traditional risk factors, such as age, high blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking and family history can estimate a person's risk, but the picture is not always clear-cut. Some newer tests can be offered to provide reassurance or guidance about the need for medications or further testing.

Hopkins Study Finds MRI Tests Safe for People with Implanted Cardiac Devices When Certain Guidelines ...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), an important diagnostic test, has traditionally been off limits to more than 2 million people in the United States who have an implanted pacemaker to regulate heart rhythms or an implanted defibrillator to prevent sudden cardiac death. Now, in a study published in the October 4 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine, cardiologists at Johns Hopkins report that a protocol they developed has proved effective in enabling patients with implanted cardiac devices to safely undergo an MRI scan.

Each year in the United States, more than 200,000 people have a cardiac defibrillator implanted in their chest to deliver a high-voltage shock to prevent sudden cardiac death from a life-threatening arrhythmia. While it's a necessary and effective preventive therapy, those who've experienced a defibrillator shock say it's painful, and some studies suggest that the shock can damage heart muscle.

Israel Accepts New 72-Hour Cease-Fire In Gaza
Updated at 1:40 p.m. ET.
Israeli officials have confirmed a new three-day cease-fire with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, a move that clears the way for a resumption on talks to end the weekslong conflict.
Confirmation on the temporary truce comes from a senior Israeli government official who spoke with NPR and comes amid reports of explosions continuing in Gaza. The agreement was set to take effect from midnight Israeli time (5 p.m. ET). It follows by hours remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he's prepared for a protracted military operation in Gaza. He had ruled out any return to truce talks unless Hamas rocket attacks ceased.
Earlier, a Hamas representative at the Cairo talks said the cease-fire proposal was being "studied."
According to NPR's Jackie Northam, reporting from Jerusalem:
"Many hoped that could be achieved through peace negotiations in Cairo. But Israel walked away from the indirect talks shortly after the three-day ceasefire collapsed, saying it would not negotiate under fire.
"The Palestinian negotiation team has remained, but it is now threatening to leave Cairo if the Israelis don't return. In the meantime, the fighting continues. Israel says Hamas has launched more than 100 rockets from Gaza to southern Israel over the weekend. The Israeli military says it's launched some 120 airstrikes."
Reuters, citing medics, says "Israeli airstrikes and shelling killed three Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday, including a boy of 14 and a woman ... in a third day of renewed fighting that has jeopardized international efforts to end a more than month-old conflict."

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, stir to coat and cook until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, onions, garlic and leek and continue cooking until the vegetables are a light brown. Add enough water to cover the chicken, and then add the peppercorns, parsley and thyme. Stir to mix and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer until the meat falls off the bone, about 2 hours. Keep the chicken aside and let cool. Keep the stock. Debone and cut the meat in chunks. Strain and skim the fat from the stock. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. (This step can be done the day before.) Add the potatoes to the stock and cook for 20 minutes. Skim the surface if necessary. Add the pasta and continue cooking until the pasta is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chicken chunks. Adjust the seasoning and serve.

A novel monitoring method for plasma-charging damage is proposed. This method performs a quick and accurate evaluation using antenna PMOSFET. It was found that not only hot-carrier (HC) lifetime but transistor parameters such as initial gate current and substrate current were changed according to the degree of plasma-charging damage. However, the present work suggests that monitoring the shift of drain current after a few seconds of HC stress is a more accurate method to indicate plasma-charging damage. The monitoring method using the present test structure is demonstrated to be useful for realizing highly reliable devices

Obama Urges Nevadans to Re-Elect Reid to Help Economic Agenda
President Barack Obama urged Nevadans to re-elect Harry Reid, saying he needs the Senate majority leader to continue work on the policies that brought the U.S. economy out of the worst recession since the Great Depression.
"If I'm going to be able to help middle-class families all across this country live out their dreams, then I want to have a partner in the United States Senate named Harry Reid," Obama told a Las Vegas rally last night on the third day of a five-state western campaign swing.
Reid is locked in a tight race against Republican Sharron Angle, a Tea Party candidate. The contest illustrates Democrats' difficulties as they seek to retain control of Congress in the Nov. 2 elections. Nevada's jobless rate is 14.4 percent, highest in the U.S., and the home foreclosure rate is five times the national average, according to RealtyTrac Inc. of Irvine, California.
Reid, a four-term senator, got 61 percent of the vote in 2004; this year, the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report rates the contest a tossup.
"Nevadans are fighting a tough fight, but we never give up," Reid told the rally at a middle school. He called Angle's ideas "extreme" and "dangerous."
Voter Anger
Obama and the Democrats are confronted with voter anger over the U.S. economy. An Oct. 7-10 Bloomberg National Poll shows that almost two-thirds of voters believe the country is on the wrong track, and unemployment is the top concern for about half the electorate. The deficit, which was almost $1.3 trillion for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, ranks as the second most pressing issue, cited by 27 percent.
During his speech in the state with the nation's highest foreclosure rate, Obama mentioned the topic briefly, stopping short of addressing remedies or the concerns of state attorneys general that banks may have acted illegally to seize homes.
"Everybody here in Nevada knows we've still got a long way to go," Obama said. "Families are hanging on by a thread, a lot of folks are seeing their homes lose a lot of value, a lot of foreclosures out here. It keeps me up at night, it keeps Harry Reid up at night. That's what keeps us fighting."
While Reid is among several Democrats who have urged lenders to put a moratorium on foreclosures because of questions about paperwork processing, Obama opposes a nationwide freeze because it could further damage to the housing market by holding up sales, spokesman Robert Gibbs said Oct. 12.
State Probes
Obama has backed investigations by attorneys general in all 50 states, and federal regulators are reviewing whether employees of lenders including Ally Financial Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. have falsified documents used in foreclosure proceedings.
Administration officials said Obama will address the issue in the final days before the election because the foreclosure crisis illustrates one of the choices for voters.
"One of the things that Wall Street reform brought" is the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, White House senior adviser David Axelrod said.
Republicans are "going to shave the ability to provide oversight and rule-making to prevent the kind of errors that we've seen in the issuance of mortgages and the shortcuts that we've seen that have created all these problems," Axelrod said.
After the Las Vegas rally, the latest in a series of similar gatherings intended to revive enthusiasm for Democrats among the voters who helped Obama win the presidency in 2008, the president attended a fundraiser for Reid.
Boxer Event
Earlier yesterday, Obama raised money in Los Angeles and campaigned for Democrats including Barbara Boxer, a three-term senator who has a slight lead over Republican Carly Fiorina, the former chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard Co.
Obama told a crowd at the University of Southern California that the election will determine whether the ideas they supported in 2008 are realized.
"In just 11 days you have the chance to set the direction of this state and of this country," Obama said. "Just like you did in 2008, you can defy the conventional wisdom."
Obama is campaigning in Democratic-leaning states where he is likely to have the biggest impact. He won all five states he is visiting this week in the 2008 election with majorities ranging from 54 percent in Minnesota to 61 percent in California. The president ends his campaign jaunt today in Minnesota with events for gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton.
Senate Seats
Obama stumped for Senator Patty Murray of Washington on Oct. 21. White House officials have said Washington and California are must-wins for Democrats to keep control of the Senate.
While in Los Angeles, Obama also taped an interview for the Piolin Show, a top-rated Spanish-language program broadcast in Southern California on radio station KSCA, set to air Oct. 25. California, the most populous U.S. state, is about 32 percent Hispanic, according to the Census Bureau.
Separately, the Democratic National Committee is spending more than $1 million on television and radio advertisements, in both English and Spanish, to encourage Hispanics to vote.
Obama will hold four more rallies the final weekend before the election in states he and other top administration officials have visited in recent weeks and where there are competitive Senate, House and gubernatorial races. On Oct. 30, Obama will stop in Philadelphia; Bridgeport, Connecticut; and Chicago and Oct. 31 he will be in Cleveland, Ohio.

The problem of spacecraft damping (damping of initial angular velocity to zero) for a minimal time is studied. Two variants of formulation of the optimization problem are considered; these variants differ in the form of constraints on the control torque. Analytical solution to the formulated problem is obtained in the closed form and numerical expressions for synthesis of optimal angular velocity control program are given. Similar problem of time-optimal angular acceleration of the spacecraft to the given value is also solved. Procedure for determination of the control torque at the initial time instant for the problem of acceleration of the spacecraft to the required angular velocity is presented. Numerical example of solution of the problems of buildup and damping of spacecraft rotation velocity for a minimal time is given.
