Adams and Vince sink Scotland
Click here for all the latest scores, match reports, news, videos and exclusive interviews during the Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign
Jimmy Adams and James Vince each scored centuries as Hampshire hammered Scotland by 115 runs at the Rose Bowl.
Adams and Vince came together with the score on 22 for the early loss of debutant Tim Ravenscroft and compiled a stand of 233 for the second wicket.
Scotland captain Gordon Drummond used seven bowlers in a bid to stem the flow of runs, and he was hampered by the loss of medium-pacer Josh Davey, who was injured while bowling his third over.
Vince was the first to his century, his first in limited-overs competition, and Adams followed soon afterwards.
Vince finally perished after making 131 from 110 balls, including 13 fours, and by that stage the total was already well beyond Scotland's reach.
Michael Carberry was third out with the score on 266 and Adams followed 10 runs later, caught in the deep after compiling 113 from 103 deliveries.
His innings included nine fours and a six before he became the third victim for Gordon Goudie as Scotland attempted to salvage some pride from the battering they took at the hands of the Hampshire batsmen.
Hampshire finished with a mammoth 302 for four, and Scotland suffered an early blow in reply when they lost Ryan Flannigan in the fifth over.
New Zealander George Worker and Ollie Hairs ensured respectability with a stand of 50 for the third wicket, but Scotland's hopes were extinguished when Worker was caught at midwicket by Ravenscroft off Hamza Riazuddin four runs short of his half-century.
Chris Wood and Riazuddin chipped away at the middle order as Scotland attempted to accelerate with four wickets falling for 33 runs in a vain run-chase.
Majid Haq and Goudie held up Hampshire with a brisk ninth-wicket stand of 26, but when Wood returned to bowl Haq Scotland's innings was over, with Davey unable to bat.
Wood finished with figures of 4-34 from eight overs and Riazuddin claimed 3-37, but the match was over as a contest long before the conclusion at the end of the 35th over.

RPT-Implied volatility on EuroSTOXX 50 falls on Obama win
LONDON Nov 7 Implied volatility on European equities, seen as a crude barometer of investor risk aversion, fell sharply on Wednesday after the re-election of U.S. President Barack Obama left the door open for continued monetary stimulus.
The VSTOXX index of implied volatility on the EuroSTOXX50 fell 6 percent to 20.47. If the losses are sustained for the rest of the session, that would mark its steepest one-day fall in a month.

What happened to make it drop big today
take advantage of todays gift is what I'm doing..Added 900 earlier...placed a bid for 500 more a minute back..REDICULOUS PPS is my view...long squeeze by hacks perhaps being attempted comes to mine with me...
If anyone knows that then they should be a millionaire soon. None of the stock price action makes any sense to me, yes a FUNDAMENTAL investor. Manipulation by someone or group who has a large war chest to profit for themselves or by someone or a group who knows insider information well before it comes out. Either way, us average retail investors are at an extreme disadvantage with this stock....in the short to intermediate term. In the long term if the company continues to grow then the stock price will eventually reflect that. How long is eventually????? That is the million dollar question! In my opinion, trying to time the bottom and continuing to add to your position is folly. That may be how Michael got to the point where he has the farm riding on this thing. I would rather see a sustained bullish drive before adding, BUT, for me once I am out then I am staying out.
There are leeks going on within this company IMO. They keep everything so close to the vest as far as new product roll-outs, insider selling (the next big BOMB will be when our new CEO founder Alden unloads the 700,000 shares he registered). They have had no interest in shareholder or analyst correspondence besides the half #$%$ unprepared earnings calls and some thrown together mismatched Power Point slides.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
You can be sure of this: they will try to close the month of February above $6.34. That is the January high-volume low. We're under it now on lower volume.

This sign says what I aim to do with these photos: See the ugly, but honest reality. When selecting motives for photos, it is so common everywhere in the world to focus upon the things that we see as relevant or nice. Between these points of relevancy there are wast areas of nothingness that one just needs to cross in order to gt to some other nice and relevant point. Some people seem to always be relegated to be in-between points though.
Downtown Tucson. Also here businesses go broke. But it all looks a bit nicer. I don't have a car and so I generally stay around here. Yesterday I decided I needed to get some underwear and for that I needed to get out of this very comfortable zone. I took the bus to a store which sells travel underwear and decided to take my camera. In the afternoon I decided to go on to the other side of town, to South Tucson where the language used is Spanish and take a few more pictures.
The transport center Ronstadt. It is located in downtown Tucson, right next to a number of bars, clubs and cafes and only about eight blocks from the sublet I currently rent. Yet the type of people hanging around there is markedly different from the visitors of any of these.
While around the university area in downtown Tucson, one gets the impression that the town is almost entirely white. That pictures changes once one gets on a city bus.
The number of users of the Tucson public transport system must be somewhat limited. This woman, who has "Tucson" and "Arizona" tattooed into her arms, I have met about every other trip I have taken on the buses in the last few months. She is part of a small group of mainly women who met in County jail, where she learned how to braid hair.
An "all American Combo" is a burger and artificially flavored sugar drink for $3.99USD.
White people. In this ocean of asphalt, the only non-homeless white people one ever sees are people who hop out of their cars, to cross a parking lot and enter a shopping center.
A shopping cart under a bridge. No-one sees it. Outside of the downtown area, no-one who can afford not to do so, moves around by foot. Consequently anything in-between shopping centers is invisible to most.
Outside the "Arizona Academy of Beauty" I spot a car with the number plate "MYDOG".
One of the many thrift stores is concerned that someone might get the idea to ride their bike and enter their parking lot. Bikes and skateboards are seen not as a means of transport, but as an annoying toy that youngsters use and that spread chaos and insecurity.
I spot a person outside. This time it seems to be a store worker, taking a break, getting some fresh air, and texting.
Capitalism is a game. You just need to play it smart!
Villa Hermosa at the intersection of Wilmot and Speedway offer apartments for senior citizens from 3550USD/month. Road access is not an issue here. I see no-one on the road-side facing balconies.
With the crisis, an extra emphasis has to be put on things having to be cheap. Here cheap wedding utensils are offered.
I spot a father with his two kids walking on the other side of the road. At first I think I spotted someone walking down the road like me, but I then realize they probably just parked there car a few more meters away.
Everything is golden on the surface. At first I do not realize that I encountered a human body.
At first I am afraid that I encountered a body that has been dumped here, so I feel I need to make sure that he is alive and OK. After having done that, I start feeling uncomfortable about having done that. How would I feel if someone entered my living quarters to figure out if I were alive like that? I make a quick exit.
The Starbucks cafe has outdoor seating. Finally one can enjoy drinking a nice cup of coffee outside, away from all the stress, right?
"Little Germany" -- a car repair for cars from abroad. And I feel almost like I'm in Germany right now.
The desert town of Tucson has about 500,000 residents although the natural water supply of the area cannot provide for that amount of people, water is being used for things like spraying it out on patios of restaurants so that people can feel humid while sitting outside.
After about twenty minutes of just asphalt and cars, I spot another human being, sitting on a bench on the other side of the road.
A guy is texting while he he sits on the back of a moving motor bike. Arizona is one of the states in which car drivers are allowed to use their mobile phone while driving. Also texting is very popular, as there is no room for ever being disconnected for anyone who wants to get ahead.
Now I've taken the bus to South Tucson. A motel at the intersection of 6th ave and Interstate 10 in South Tucson. When I first flew into Tucson in 2004 in order to go study Douglas, the taxi drivers dropped me off there to spend the night. Back then the price was twice of what it is today.
A sea-food restaurant. The two sisters who run the place started it 3.5 years. "Three years ago there was much more business here, before the crisis." 'María' (aged "a little more than 26") tells me. Now most of their clients have gone back to their home countries -- Mexico and Central America. 'Our family has dedicated itself at running restaurants, and tonight we'll have a meeting with a gentleman to figure out a plan of switching to a menu of food items that fit the budget of people these days."
María wants to emphasize that they still have loyal customers and that Friday and Saturday mornings it's much fuller than now. I promise to be back the next Wednesday morning at 8am, when she hopes some more customers will show up. As promised, I take the bus out there. But as María is all alone without any customers, I just wave at her and walk on. No reason to make her feel even more embarrassed.
A shop selling "natural medicine." Because the imagery of Jesus (or someone similar) is employed, I first think it is something Christian. After asking the owner whether she lets me takes a picture of her store, she explains it to me in detail.
Long distance buses are effectively segregated in southern Arizona. Luís Félix, is the driver of a company that drives between the border town Nogales and Tucson. "We give service to Mexicans by Mexicans. The tickets is bought in Spanish. The 'north-Americans' have another culture. They drive their own cars and things like that." When his clients want to go somewhere else, like Phoenix or further south in Mexico, Luís Félix calls the other Mexican bus companies that offer service to those locations. That makes up the Mexican bus system. A trip to Nogales, with home-pickup costs $12USD from South Tucson. Trips to Phoenix typically cost $25USD. There is an English speaking company that offers tickets to Phoenix for $39USD. Is that a tax on English speakers? "Yes, it's a bit like that!" Luís Félix smiles.
He changes the topic of the conversation. "What we want here is a health care system, but what we get are all these wars!" he explains to me. He also wants to know how Daniel Ortega is doing.
One of the shuttles being used by the Mexican bus companies of Southern Arizona. The buses they operate are typically not larger than this.
The Douglas shuttle company that I use frequently is also part of the Mexican bus system.
A tire shop -- distinctively different than what it would look in northern parts of the town. Besides motels, transport companies, restaurants and pawn shops, car parts dealerships seem to be the main business around here.
My day is done, I'm heading home.

Patient Comments: Poland Syndrome - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your experience with Poland syndrome.
Comment from: (Patient) Published: April 06
I have Poland syndrome and first became aware of it at around five years of age. I've always been grateful to my family for not making it an issue in my younger years. I am missing the right pectoralis major which caused me to use my left arm for any functions that required added strength, such as in bowling or throwing a ball. While in high school I participated in varsity wrestling and football. I even had a 24 year career in the Navy, retiring as a Chief Petty Officer. Obviously, the absence of the pectoralis muscle didn't go unnoticed at the many physicals I went through. I will admit to being very self- conscious of my appearance but at this stage in life I have no intention of undergoing any cosmetic enhancements or corrections.
Comment from: Marc, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: August 17
I have Poland's syndrome. I first became aware of it when I was ten or so and it has caused a lot of issues. I had a botched operation at 19, and had another one a year ago. My right breast muscle was missing, I have a slightly smaller muscle on the top of my arm and I think there are other things wrong, like I may have a shorter right leg. Anyway, it was very bad for my confidence. Operations are better these days and plastic surgeons are more aware. I had a simple silicone implant put in, after an initial operation to put a saline bag in to stretch the skin. I would say I look maybe 70 percent better, and I feel much more confident, though not always.
Comment from: Grandma, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: April 21
I was diagnosed at birth with absence of left breast and nipple. As I grew it was obvious that I had no large muscle in my left arm, my left arm is shorter than my right. I look as if I have had a radical mastectomy. I did not receive the diagnosis of Poland syndrome till I was aged 70. I contemplated surgery when I was 33 but was advised against it as it required long and prolonged recovery. However these days they know more about it.
Comment from: LucyH, 0-2 Female (Caregiver) Published: March 05
My daughter is 20 months old. When she was born she was diagnosed with scoliosis, webbed fingers on one hand, missing finger on one hand, small to no apparent shoulder blade on opposite side, and clubbed ulna; her radius and ulna are fused together. On Monday she had to have a cast put on her hand she had broken, with the clubbed ulna, and I had asked the doctor if he thought that her body brace was smashing in her ribs because it seems to be pushed in on one side. He took a look even though he is only a hand orthopedist and had told me that she is missing her pectoral muscle. When I looked Poland syndrome up all the symptoms are exactly as my daughter's defects. Not one doctor has ever put any of these together and noticed that this could be a possibility.
Comment from: DAK, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 15
I was born with Poland syndrome. I had webbed fingers on my left hand, and the left side of my body didn't fully develop. I missed a shoulder muscle and my left breast did not develop as much as my right one did. This obviously caused me confidence issues, so in my early twenties I had breast implants. This was great initially. Since then I have been through the trauma of having implants that split and leaked silicone into my body.
Comment from: 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: July 31
My son is 13 years old with Poland syndrome (PS). When he was born in 2001 nobody knew why his fingers were webbed, not even in the hospital. I was so sad I felt so guilty myself that I got depression for almost 1 year. After 4 years a doctor told that what he has is PS. I still do not understand why me. My son does not talk about it, but I know he feels so sad and lonely. I do not know what to say, what to do. He is a teenager now, soon he is going to high school, and I just hope that kids there do not treat him different.
Comment from: zoe, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: May 30
I was diagnosed with Poland syndrome at the age of 14 because I only had one breast. I went to my doctor who wrote to a consultant, they wanted to wait for me to turn 18 before they would operate with an implant. Until I turned 16 I wore special implants for my bra. I got bullied. It's been 18 years since I had my operation and I am now in a lot of pain. My implant is M shaped and it makes a popping sound. I am trying to save the money for private implants as the government will only do one on the NHS.

LOCKHART (January 17, 2014) Willie Brite, Jr., 43, who's accused of ignoring barricades set up as heavy rain produced flooding in Central Texas flooding, has been indicted in the death of a passenger who was swept away when he drove into a swollen creek.
The Caldwell County Grand Jury indicted Brite, of Lockhart, on a charge of criminally negligent homicide.
Sheriff's Sgt. Frank Alvarez says Brite was not in custody Friday.
Investigators say Brite deliberately drove around safety barricades set up on Nov. 1 along Brushy Creek and his vehicle ended up submerged.
Brite escaped but Cynthia McKee, 57, was swept away.
Her body was recovered from the creek the next day.
Officials say Brite was also indicted Wednesday on a driving while intoxicated charge in connection with another incident in December.

But that's doing it the hard way: why get small when you can make an army of microscopic robot paramedics that will do it for you?
A few years ago that would have sounded like an absurd fantasy, something out of Jules Verne or H.G. Wells. But nanotechnology -- the science of coaxing or manipulating atoms to assemble themselves into microscopic machines or stable structures -- holds the promise of a new Industrial Revolution.
In the 19th century, the tools of progress were coal, oil, and steel. In the 21st century, they will be atoms, microscopic tubes carrying drugs, and miniature disease-fighting robots, say small-thinking scientists with big ideas, who met last week in Bethesda, Md. at a conference on nanotechnology.
The prefix nano-, from the Greek word for "dwarf" is used in medicine and science to denote things that are vanishingly small -- technically 1-billionth of a 'whatever'. So, a nanosecond is a billionth of a second, and a nanometer is a billionth of meter.
The idea of making molecule-sized machines may seem bizarre or silly to some people, but nanotechnology scientists are actually holding the mirror up to nature.
In some ways, Mother Nature is proof of nanotechnology, says conference co-chair Jan H. Hoh, PhD, associate professor of physiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. "People ask 'can you really build devices on a length scale of a few nanometers?' And the answer is, 'We know you can, because nature already has,' Hoh tells WebMD. "Part of current efforts at nanotechnology are these lessons-from-nature kinds of projects, where you try to understand the design strategies and principles nature uses, and then ask yourself 'how can I exploit these strategies to build devices with entirely new functions and new properties?'"
Nanotechnology embraces many branches of science and technology, from space exploration, to energy conservation. One area of particularly bright promise is in medicine. Imagine, if you can, what nanorobots or "nanobots" -- minuscule, single-minded automatons designed for a specific purpose -- may be able to do:

NH Police Officer Killed, Suspect Killed by Bystander
FRANCONIA, N.H. -- A Franconia police officer was shot and killed during a routine motor vehicle stop on Friday.
The state attorney general's office says Cpl. Bruce McKay, 48, was shot four times and run over by the suspect's car on Route 116 in Franconia. McKay was a 12-year veteran of the Franconia Police Department.
The state attorney general's office says the incident began Friday night when McKay attempted to pull over Liko Kenney on Route 116. Kenney took off, leading McKay on a brief pursuit.
Investigators say when McKay stopped Kenney a second time a mile up the road, he used pepper spray to subdue him. According to police, that's when Kenney shot the officer four times and the proceeded to run the officer over with his car.
State Attorney General Kelly Attorney said a passer-by, Gregory Floyd, 49, witnessed the incident and rushed to the officer's aid. Investigators say Floyd grabbed McKay's gun and ordered Kenney to drop his weapon. According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin, Floyd fatally shot Kenney when he tried to reload his gun.
Ayotte said the state has decided Floyd's actions were justified and he will not be facing any charges.
According to police, there was a previous incident involving McKay and Kenney. Back in 2003, Kenney was convicted of simple assault and resisting arrest for an incident involving McKay.
Family members said Kenney was ski champion Bode Miller's cousin. Back in September 2005, McKay pulled Bode Miller over on Route 116 for going 83 mph in a 40 mph zone.
As of Saturday afternoon, Miller did not return any calls to comment about the incident.
Friday night, Gov. John Lynch ordered all flags be lowered to half staff. He also visited with first responders in Franconia on Saturday who spent the night investigating McKay's death.
He said, "My thoughts and prayers, and those of my wife, Susan, are with the family of the New Hampshire police officer killed this evening while serving the people of our state."
The last police officer killed in the line of duty was Manchester Officer Michael Briggs, who was shot and killed in October 2006.
The prayers and thoughts of the members of the UNH PD are with Cpl. McKay and his family.

The Boston Globe is playing this up as some sort of fued instead of some dink who shot a cop and then ran him over. After Bode Miller's performance, on and off the mountain, at the last Olympics I concluded he was a jerk. I guess it runs in the family.

I was repulsed by his situation when I read "Town Divided" over death of cop and "Hippie Kid." How can the town be divided?!?!?! Liko killed Cpl. McKay in cold blood. NOBODY should be divided. those siding with Liko are spreding the message that it's okay to kill a police officer if they are a "bully." Many consider what we do bullying, because what we do is make people accountable to their mistakes, and for the guilty they consider that bullying.
This is a good reality check for those wanting to be in this profession and a sad truth for those of us who are in the profession. Even when a police officer is shot in cold blood the public has a "wishy washy" stance on who is right and who is wrong.
I pray for Cpl. Mckay and his friends and family.
I have nothing but disgust for Liko and those who support him.
Town Divided Over Traffic Stop Killings
By BEVERLEY WANG and JOHN CURRAN
FRANCONIA, N.H. (May 17) -- Liko Kenney, who friends described as a free-spirited "Hippie kid," had a history of bad blood with police Cpl. Bruce McKay. So there was the potential for trouble when a traffic stop brought them together again.
Within minutes of the Friday stop, both were dead, dividing this town's 924 residents between those who see McKay as a fallen hero and those who considered him a bully with a badge.
"It's a tragic situation - two men lost and two families devastated," said Steve Heath, owner of the Franconia Village Store.
Beyond that, there's little agreement about the tragedy in Franconia, where local Olympian Bode Miller - Kenney's cousin - is royalty. His image appears on posters, signs and keepsakes all over town.
Authorities say McKay, 48, stopped Kenney, 24, for speeding, and Kenney asked to deal with a different officer and drove away.
By the time McKay caught up about a mile down the road, Kenney was in a frenzy, according to his friend and passenger, Caleb Macauley.
"I've never seen anyone so scared in my life," Macauley told WMUR-TV.
McKay forced him off the road and pepper-sprayed him. Kenney then shot McKay four times and drove over him.
Gregory Floyd, a passing motorist and ex-Marine who saw it all, grabbed McKay's gun and shot Kenney to death when he refused to put his gun down. Authorities quickly ruled the killing justified.
McKay, who had a 9-year-old daughter, was to have been married in July atop Cannon Mountain, where Bode Miller learned to ski. Instead his funeral will be held at the mountain.
As many as 6,000 officers from throughout the country are expected to attend Thursday's funeral, but in this close-knit mountain valley, where the Kenney family's roots run deep, at least one town may hold back.
Plans to send two fire department vehicles from neighboring Easton triggered a heated debate at the selectmen's meeting Monday night. Chairman Paul White, who is married to Kenney's cousin, moved to keep them away in protest.
Liko Kenney grew up on his grandparents' rustic tennis camp in Easton, where the extended family still lives. Liko's parents own a coffee plantation in Hawaii, and he followed their seasonal migrations: the islands in winter, the White Mountains in summer.
"He was kinda just a happy, hippie kid. He'd do anything to help anyone," said Holly Hayward, 48, who said she'd known Kenney his whole life.
Friends and family called Kenney a free-spirited outdoorsman who loved all-terrain vehicles and had issues with authority. Court records show he could be volatile even with his own family. In January 2003, an aunt, Larisa Kenney, sought a restraining order against her nephew, then 19. In a handwritten letter, she told the court Liko had frightened her by chainsawing trees near her cabin, sending one crashing onto her roof as she slept. When she confronted him, she said Liko exploded - shouting, grabbing her and then following her on his ATV as she ran to safety at a relative's home.
Just weeks later, Liko Kenney had a violent run-in with McKay, who had followed tire tracks into an isolated parking area. Court documents say it took three officers to subdue Kenney, who tried to escape three times, once while cuffed and shackled. One officer said Kenney grabbed McKay in the groin and that McKay reacted by punching Kenney in the face. Kenney's family and many in town say McKay broke Kenney's jaw that night, but Grafton County Attorney Rick St. Hilaire said Kenney's jaw was not broken.
Kenney could have gone to prison after pleading guilty to resisting arrest and assaulting McKay. But he got 15 days in jail, time served, when McKay asked for leniency, according to St. Hilaire.
Bill Kenney, 56, said the run-in changed Liko, and that his nephew started carrying a weapon because he feared McKay. Other residents say they found him intimidating as well.
"McKay had an attitude, he was rough on people," said florist Jean McLean, 53, who remembers once asking McKay to leave after he tried to shoo away teenagers playing Hacky Sack in front of her store. She called the killings "vigilante justice."
McKay was one of three full-time officers in the department and prosecuted some of its smaller cases. One man, Timothy Stephenson, sued McKay in 2005, alleging that he used his prosecutor's role to settle scores.
The men settled the case last year, with neither admitting blame.
Bode Miller also chafed against McKay, telling Sports Illustrated that he contested a 2005 speeding ticket in part to antagonize the officer.
Police Chief Mark Montminy called McKay a dedicated officer who served the town and department well.
"We don't harass people. He did his job, he did it well, everybody was treated the same. He was very knowledgeable and very professional, a dedicated police officer," Montminy said.
Pastor Gary Hart of Franconia Community Church of Christ said McKay's image as a law-and-order man in an old hippie town may have distanced him from others.
"Most of the time people saw him he was in his patrol vehicle, he was in uniform, he was stopping people on the road for speeding. And once you get a reputation, it's almost impossible to change it," said Hart, who does some police chaplain work.
Hart said he was impressed when McKay responded to a complaint he once made about a noisy wedding reception.
"So when people tell me he was so difficult, that hadn't been my experience," Hart said.

I agree
AMEN! Knowing Cpl. Mckay personally really hit home. It is the first time in 12 years losing someone in the line of duty that I knew personally. It is very sad. I agree with you that this scumbag killed a police officer. I know many cops who are very strict in their enforcement of the law. HELL, that is what we are paid to do. Just because someone is firm, but fair, doesn't make them a bully. The news reported that Cpl. Mckay even asked the court for mercy when Liko was sentenced for assaulting him several years ago. So no one can convience me that Liko had a reason to be afraid of Cpl. Mckay. I agree this is BS. This is one of the things I hate most about such an honorable profession. I hate to see what people say, God forbid, should I be killed in the line of duty.
Too much media attention is given to the sumbags and not enough to the victim. God Bless Cpl. Mckay and his family. I will miss you brother!God made cops so firefighters could have heros!

Again some more terrible news, I am truly saddened to hear this. I almost can't believe the number of these incidents happening lately, it just seems like the numbers are sky rocketing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. GoodGuy133 I am also sorry for your loss as well. As for Cpl. Bruce McKay, RIP.
Again the media in this country never fails to make me fail sick to my stomach. They are mentioning things in the story that are completely unrelated to anything that has happened. Also, thanks for Gregory Floyd actions and being there at the right time to assist.

AES E-Library
An Evaluation of Audio Warning Signals through Localization Behavior of the Eyes
The current study was focused on establishing the type of the envelope an auditory warning signal should have in order to minimize its distracting effect on the attention. Listener's ability to localize square wave and ramp spatial sounds was investigated. Their performance was evaluated using SMI EyeLink Gaze Tracking system. Both the auditory stimuli could be localized equally well. The reaction time was shorter for the square wave, but not significantly different from the ramp condition. The ramp stimulus, however, was reported by the participants to be more acceptable, were it to be used. The approach of using spatial sounds with a gradual onset might be a reasonable option to be considered when selecting the most effective shape for a warning audio signal.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the viral infection causing agent
especially in men. These warts are infected through the genetic tract of
the men and rarely in women. Genital warts are usually appearing in
different shapes but they are smaller and fleshy to touch. If the person
is extremely affected then the warts appear to be in cauliflower shape.
Mostly these lesions or warts are seen in anal and penile areas in men.
The occurrence of this warts may cause burning sensation, itching and
even tenderness of the affected area.
Treatment is based on the anogenital warts; most of the patients are given with immune system inducing drugs like Imiquimod (this can easily induce the growth of cytokines and other lymphatic cells) which can easily fight against cells that enter into the body as an infection. Viagra consuming men sometimes may suffer with this viral infection but there are no possibilities of this Viagra treating this viral infection. If these anal warts are not treated or a person undergoes anal sex they may be under risk of anal cancers. These cancers are to be treated else it may lead to death of the patient.
Viagra can be used by these viral disease suffering men but a precautionary method is to be followed i.e. use of condoms during sexual activity, so that this may prevent the other sexual partner with transmission of this diseases. But over dose or excess dose should not be taken, it may lead to complications.
Viagra professional is manufactured by the pharmacy giants like Cipla
and Ranbaxy. It is the stronger and latest version of Viagra. It is
much better than the previous Viagra drugs. Viagra professional is made
by very standard pharmaceutical companies by following the strict rules
and regulations of international drugs department and under
sophasticated environment.
Generic Viagra and Viagra professional work well for many cases but it is not suitable for everyone who use generic Viagra. Professional Viagra is absorbed faster, functions more efficiently, and stimulates penis better. With Viagra, it is difficult to treat a person who is suffering from psychological ED. However, Viagra professional has overcome the problem quiet very well as physical stimulation needed for the effects, is very less with this drug. Therefore, the use of professional Viagra has solved normally all kinds of ED problems.
The dosage of professional Viagra pill is used 20 minutes prior to sexual activities. Even if it is used 90 minutes after meals, it works very effectively. One must avoid consuming fat meals when they plan to have professional Viagra for full advantages. Taking alcohol along with this drug reduces its potency.
As professional Viagra is the stronger version, it offers some libido enhancement, so it is possible to get erections and to sustain them. One is able to achieve better erection and sustain it for longtime to give the best sexual pleasure to their partner with stronger power.
Professional Viagra has some side effects such as giddiness, vomiting, flushing, and upset stomach. At times, even there is probability of getting priapism. So, one should seek medical help without delay to avoid major health problems.
Vacuum pumps are the conventional ways of erections that are utilized
by men for having firm erections while participating in the sex. These
pumps are the cylindrical apparatus, with a piston pump.
The cylindrical tube is to keep the penis to obtain an erection and at the bottom of the penis a tight rubber holder is fixed. When the piston pump is pressurized, the vacuum is shaped in the cylinder and the enough erection is occurred. But the erection does not stay for longer periods.
The erections that have occurred by the vacuum pumps will not be there for more hours. Thus these vacuum pumps are replaced with the contemporary drugs like Viagra.
The active drug which is used in the manufacture of this pill is Sildenafil citrate. This drug assists in keeping up erections for almost four to five hours than the regular erections.
The drug is extremely sensitive for the patients so it should be taken under authorized medical prescription only. Some of the side effects of using this pill are gastric disturbances, problems in vision, faintness, pain in the chest and also vomiting sensation.
Keep in mind that this pills should be kept under room temperature and don't keep near the children and teenagers to prevent misuse of this drug.
Most of the side effects that patients report to the physician are rashes, swelling or painful erections. After consuming Viagra pill and if that happens, immediately stop taking the pill and consult your doctor.
This drug should not be taken by the women, pregnant ladies and also breast feeding mothers. And also the Viagra pill should not be taken along with nitroglycerin, antibiotics, antifungal and various drugs. They may affect unexpected heart attack or rise in the blood pressure.
• Female sexual dysfunction mainly refers to the loss of sexual
desire, sexual arousal, and sexual climax. The factors those are
responsible for libido in women is hypertension, aggressiveness,
diabetes, thyroid problems, neurological disturbances, tumors, and other
autoimmune system diseases.
• The drug mechanism of female pink Viagra is to increase the systemic circulation in the genital regions, and make the vaginal area ready for the sexual intercourse. The pharmaceutical preparation is pills it can treat lubrication problems in women and enhances positive effect during the sexual activity.
• This drug can be taken by women at anytime of the day but only under medical supervision. Avoid using alcohol and cigarettes with this pill. It may interact with the female pink Viagra and decreases the desired activity.
• There are some herbal Viagra that can enhance pleasure and cause sexual arousal in women. According to the folk medicine the crude herbal ingredients that are used to prepare herbal female Viagra are; Damiana leaves which acts as progesterone in action and increases the vaginal dryness. Motherwort; decreases the stress, wild yam; it elevates the sexual energy and produces contractions in the uterus, Ginkgo Biloba; increases the moisture in the vaginal skin and prevents from dryness. This provides oxygen to the cells in the body especially to the vaginal and uterus areas. Peppermint leaves are also mixed with this ingredients; this masks the bitter taste of the preparation, increases the circulation in the brain, gives a cooling effect and hides anxiety throughout the sexual activity.
• Erectile dysfunction is the condition in men which can be treated
with the modern allopathic medication. The medications are targeted to
the smooth muscle tissue i.e. corpus cavernosum of the penile region.
The erections are seen until the absorbed drug present in the systemic
• Sildenafil not only helps in maintaining the erections but also helps in vasodilation of pulmonary artery in children also. The prescribed dose strengths are different when compared to ED; for ED the doses are 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg. The dose strength of Sildenafil for treating PAH is only 20 mg.
• The strengths prescribed are different for different patients, based on the medical condition they are prescribed. Most of men who use this Viagra suffer with side effects like facial flushing, abdominal pain, spasms in the gastrointestinal tract, and nasal congestion.
• Patients who are with over dose or missed dose; it is better to consult a doctor immediately. If the body is with extra dose on the same day of first dose administrated the patient may suffer with painful erections, ringing of ears, dizziness, and loss of vision.
• The drug Sildenafil is compounded with citric acid to form Sildenafil citrate. Sildenafil citrate is very active drug which undergoes active transport in the biological system. The half life of this drug may be about 3-4 hours.
• The excretion of the metabolized products of this drug is seen as 80% in fecal matter, and 20% in the urine.
There is a trend of recreational Viagra use in America today but doctors and drug companies are not so anxious.
Recreational Viagra use is when completely healthy men consume Viagra or any male impotence drug for better performance in bed, although they do not experience erectile dysfunction(ED) or any kind of impotence.
They simply need the boost in erection strength, duration, and their normal confidence.
One of the leading symptoms of this trend is the simple truth that over 70 percent of all Viagra and Cialis prescriptions now comes from normal practitioners, as opposed to urologists.
This means that it's now simpler than ever for a man to just claim erectile dysfunction to get his prescription, preventing any real examinations. Most physicians will also go down with the demand for recreational Viagra, and won't ask any questions.
Another reason that more and more men are consuming Viagra without
experiencing from erectile dysfunction is the lower minimum age
requirement for Viagra prescriptions in the last few years.
In the years since Viagra was revealed to the US market, the less than 45 age group has almost quadrupled, according to Express Scripts, the nation's foremost manager of employee prescription drug plans.
It's hard to decide exactly where recreational Viagra use starts and where legitimate erectile dysfunction treatment finishes. Most of the men who are self medicating, either through prescription medicines or generic Cialis, might be healthy men who have been surprised by recent session of impotence.
These men regularly want a rapid boost for the next time they have sexual intercourse, just to be on the safe side. And luckily for these men , the solutions are readily available.
Sildenafil citrate is the active form of the drug which treats
erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction is the defect in men
for not attaining satisfactory erections during sexual intercourse.
Some men are prescribed with higher dose of Viagra 100mg for their total inability to achieve an erection.
Due to embarrassment many men are reluctant to discuss about the erectile dysfunction with the doctors.
Viagra normal dose is about 25 mg; depending upon the severity of the erectile dysfunction the dosages are prescribed by the physician.
Recommended starter dose is 50 mg, the physician can adjust the dose either to 100 mg or to 25 mg.
The physiological functioning of natural erection enhancer cGMP; they help in relaxation of smooth muscles. When these cGMP levels are increased; they are antagonized by phosphodiesterase enzyme.
The potent drug Sildenafil citrate helps in maintaining erections within 4-5 hours. The erections cannot be prolonged after the drug reaches its peak concentration in the systemic circulation.
The activity starts within 15 minutes after drug administration. The major side effects like flushing, fatigue, severe headache nausea, vomiting, ringing of ears, and blue tint in the vision.
Accidental dose, or extra dose for prolonged erections are not advisable as they may irritate the biological system functioning.
Drugs like nitrates, antibiotics, antihypertensive drugs, antifungal drugs, and diabetic drugs should not be used with this Sildenafil citrate. They interact in the vital organs may lead to coma, and death.
In 1998 Pfizer introduced to the market a drug called Viagra to treat
erectile dysfunction. The contains of Viagra is sildenafil citrate
primarily the men of senior ages were kept in mind for this drug. As the
problem of erectile dysfunction is not confined to senior ages even
middle age men are suffering with this problem and are getting help
with this drug.
Medical doctors want to find the reason and problems regarding erectile dysfunction in some men. For this problem, Viagra is the best solution for most of the men. Vices like smoking and drinking among men has ill effects on their health and sexual life.
Men who suffer from this problem are embarrassed and ashamed even to consult a doctor. They feel humiliated when the issue of masculinity arises. Of course they want to know the reasons for not having a happy sexual life. This is a global problem as men from different countries are facing it. Only 10% of them consult doctor for medical help among the 30 million men who suffer from erectile dysfunctions and the rest of them carry this problem for the rest of their life.
Men should have a broader and free thought to talk about their erectile dysfunction and sexual problems. Marital status and life style and environment are some of the aspects taken in to consideration while treating this problem.
To get the right erection there has to increase in the blood flow by the arteries connected to the penis.Viagra does this by increasing the flow of blood to the arteries. So to last longer in the bed with their partner with a full erection Viagra is the solution.
Men may not need Viagra if that certain enzyme is present in their body naturally. To have a long erection the penis needs these enzymes to increase the flow of blood.
Any drug taken for a long period of time exhibits its side effects, as the drug taken enters the body and absorbed by the veins. For example antibiotics taken for longer duration is harmful to our liver and kidneys. So Viagra also would have side effects if taken for a longer duration of time.
Some of the common side effects are cardiac arrests, headaches, arteries of the brain opening up and
The perceptions of colors are affected due retinal damage. So people who operate machines or drive as part of their job are warned about long term use of this drug.
The safest way is to consult your doctor regarding the drugs reaction to your body and also take suggestions before taking any type of medication.
Viagra is used for treating impotence. It is manufactured by Pfizer
with active ingredient in it known as Sildenafil citrate which helps in
relaxing muscles and increase flow of blood into penis. When you intake
Viagra it will help in increasing the ability to attain erection when
the person is sexually stimulated. Men stated that when they take Viagra
they had successfully landed on sexual drive.
Generic Viagra helps in treating erectile dysfunction to respond to sexual stimulation. When a man is stimulated the arteries in the penis get relax and expand permitting the flow of blood into penis. When theses penis enlarge erection is formed. Viagra is not a hormone; it only works when a man is sexually stimulated.

It is to be taken an hour before the sexual movement. However, it takes 30 minutes for performance Viagra's effect and this result lasts for almost four hours. If you obtain Viagra subsequent to a high-fat meal, it may take a little longer time to start working.
The most common side effects of Viagra are headache, nausea, flushing of the face, and upset stomach. But if you have pain in your chest during sexual activity, then visit doctor right away.
Before taking Viagra, tell your doctor about all other drugs you use. Women should stay away from intake of Viagra.
If you are suffering with erectile dysfunction or male impotence and
you want to take medication to help treat your disorder, make a complete
research first about the product or better yet, discuss with a doctor
regarding what drug is suitable for you. For those who don't know what
erectile dysfunction is, it is the inability of a man to get and sustain
an erection during sexual act? This disorder can be very disturbing and
embarrassing for a man. However, thanks to Viagra, know it is no longer
a difficulty, because it can help treat erectile dysfunction.

Re: i am considerin
g bankruptcy
You're welcome!
You might try negotiating directly with your creditors and avoid credit counseling and debt reduction. I was able to negotiate with most of my creditors directly to get sizeable reductions in interest rates. For example, Bank of America reduced the interest on my two credit cards from 28.9 percent down to 6 percent on one card and 4 percent on another card. If you have debts on medical bills, I think you'll have also have a good chance there to work out a payment plan.
A problem with both credit counseling and debt reduction is, as I understand it, you might have multiple late payments show on your credit report while those programs negotiate with your creditors and put your accounts under their programs. If you negotiate yourself, you avoid the late payments and better protect your credit.
Good luck!

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Seven years ago, the University of Arizona capped off a 65-4 season with the program's sixth national championship.
Six years ago, the University of Nevada hired Michelle Gardner to breathe life into a softball program that had been dormant for 14 seasons.
Five years ago, Katie Holverson won the first of three state championships at Cactus High School in Glendale, Ariz.
Sunday, Holverson shut the door on No. 1 Arizona with two innings of shutout relief for Nevada and preserved a 1-0 win that dropped the defending champions to 0-3.
It wasn't quite softball's version of Moore's Law, but the Kajikawa Classic offered plenty of evidence that college softball continues to grow more competitive at an almost exponential rate. And it proved that in a season that lacks a clear-cut front-runner, no team is perfect -- or safe.
It's a world where Nevada can go from afterthought to adversary in the blink of an eye.
Nevada finished last season with a losing record and missed out on the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five seasons back on the diamond. One of the losses came against top-ranked Arizona on the same field at the Tempe Sports Complex that hosted Sunday's matinee. Holverson started that game but watched four unearned runs cross the plate in the first inning en route to a 6-2 loss, one of five for her team in the tournament.
The Wolf Pack entered Sunday's game with more momentum, having defeated No. 25 Oregon State to open the event and added wins against Texas State and Missouri-Kansas City. They also had ace Jordan McPherson in the circle to begin the contest. The preseason WAC Pitcher of the Year, McPherson blanked Oregon State for five innings Friday before surrendering a pair of runs and giving way to Holverson to close out the win.
McPherson is a commanding presence in the center of the field, and when she's on, she makes life difficult for hitters looking to get the ball airborne.
"I think each year she's gotten stronger mentally and physically," Gardner said of her ace after the Oregon State game. "She is really the backbone and a leader for our team. And so for me, it's critical that she can come out and stay composed, even after she gives up two runs, and keep competing."
Those words proved prophetic Sunday when McPherson stymied the Wildcats for five innings and escaped a pair of bases-loaded jams despite a tight strike zone. By late in the top of the fifth, with the bases again full against her, McPherson was clearly laboring before she got Callista Balko to ground into a force at third base to preserve a one-run lead. Instead of trying to talk her way back into the game between innings, she grabbed Holverson's shoulders in the dugout and offered the sophomore some words of encouragement.
And when Holverson escaped her own bases-loaded jam by striking out Balko for the final out of the seventh, Nevada had its upset.
Off to a 7-3 start despite five games against ranked opponents, Nevada may have the same kind of staying power as Hawaii, last season's surprise out of the WAC. With freshman Danielle Patrick shoring up the infield defense at shortstop and a lineup that features gap power from top to bottom, the Wolf Pack may have the tools to pick up both of their pitchers the way they picked up the team this weekend.
"We had a rough year last year, but we were very young mentally and physically," Gardner said. "So I think we've got that on us now; I think we've got strong pitching. I think we have all the components."
Arizona State
Northwestern had the most impressive performance at the Kajikawa Classic, beating a pair of top-five opponents in Arizona and Texas A&M en route to a 4-0 start, but Arizona State claimed the equally ephemeral distinction of tournament champion for the third year in a row on the strength of six wins, no losses and a dominant run differential.
The subtext is that, as usual, none of the teams the Sun Devils beat can be considered favorites to contend for an appearance in the super regionals, let alone the World Series -- even if plenty of teams in Tempe proved that's no guarantee of success for a favorite.
It's a philosophy of scheduling coach Clint Myers is willing to defend with a roster deep with newcomers he feels he needs time to evaluate and who need time to adjust gradually to various roles and scenarios.
"We've got a schedule that is going to afford us to make some substitutions," Myers said. "It's one of those things that you've got to get them ready the best you can. We don't want people to be tired. There have been a couple of teams in the Pac-10 that have used the same people, the same pitchers, day in and day out, and by the time the end of the season comes, 60-plus games later, they're a little tired and beat up. We want to be playing our best softball at the end -- not in February."
So while the wins against Western Michigan, Virginia, Nebraska, Memphis, Texas State and Missouri-Kansas City were nice, the individual effort turned in by freshman Krista Donnenwirth at third base may be more important in the long run. Donnenwirth leads the team with 18 RBIs through 11 games and if her long-term prospects with the glove at the hot corner aren't certain, she's at least proved capable of taking some innings there between at-bats elsewhere. With highly touted junior college transfer Renee Welty redshirting for undisclosed medical reasons, that's good news at an uncertain position.
"How good has she performed for a freshman?" Myers posited. "How many freshmen in the Pac-10 hit fourth? She's just done an outstanding job."
The same goes for freshman Lesley Rogers, who finished an already strong weekend with four hits in Sunday's two games, including a leadoff stint in one game. For a lineup with more than a few streaky hitters, a consistent contact hitter could prove a huge boon.
"She's probably the biggest surprise we've got so far," Myers said. "She's just done an outstanding job. She's squaring it up, she's not striking out, she's seeing a lot of pitches. She's having quality at-bats, and that's a freshman. And she just learned how to slap this year."
Texas A&M
If not for five rain-soaked innings Friday during which Texas A&M staked Northwestern to an 8-4 lead that turned into an 8-7 win once the game resumed Sunday morning, it might have been the Aggies leaving Tempe with the most to talk about. That was certainly the case last season, when coach Jo Evans' team launched a campaign that would culminate in Oklahoma City with a perfect start at the Kajikawa Classic.
As it was, the loss against Northwestern this season only marginally dulled the luster of four high-quality wins against Arizona, Washington, Nevada and Notre Dame for a team with every intention of returning to the Women's College World Series.
Notably for the Aggies, seniors Megan Gibson and Amanda Scarborough followed up on a trend from the first week that saw the two versatile players essentially trade roles. Both players have been key contributors at the plate and in the circle since arriving in College Station, but Scarborough has always been the top ace and Gibson the top slugger.
Not so this season, in which Gibson is 6-0 with a 1.29 ERA in the circle and Scarborough leads the team with a .438 batting average, .688 slugging percentage and 11 RBIs. In the team's signature 3-2 win against Arizona, Gibson went the distance in the circle.
"She's really matured as a pitcher," Evans said. "She was always just a power hitter-power pitcher -- you know, wants to go throw hard at people. And now she's learning more the finesse of the game."
That maturity showed in the final frame against Arizona, when Gibson didn't hesitate before throwing to third on a grounder back to the circle with one out and a runner on second. Instead of facing Stacie Chambers with the tying run a wild pitch or passed ball away from scoring, she was free to work a strikeout with only a runner on first. Gibson, Scarborough, Jamie Hinshaw and Jami Lobpries seem like they've been around forever, but they are really the lone outposts of experience on a roster littered with young talent.
"The seniors, they're aware of what legacy they want to leave to our program," Evans said. "And of course, World Series and all that is important, but really more so is the leadership and the pride with which they play the game. That's what they want to pass down, and I think they're doing a good job with that."
Elsewhere at the Kajikawa
• Arizona's 0-3 start and 2-3 overall record this weekend will raise a lot of eyebrows given all the offseason drama surrounding the program's coaching staff, but nobody is likely to feel sorry for the Wildcats. For one thing, even in defeat, the talent on display for the Wildcats didn't disappoint. Chambers proved well worth the wait after a head injury derailed her freshman season. She drilled a deep home run over a secondary fence at Farrington Stadium against Texas A&M and finished the weekend with six hits and a pair of home runs in four starts. And in addition to flashing a versatile glove at shortstop in one game against Southern Utah, regular third baseman Jenae Leles looked entirely comfortable in the middle of the order for much of the weekend.
What was missing, as assistant Dave Feinberg noted before the season, was the speed and short game that Arizona typically uses to torment opponents. Interim coach Larry Ray, long the master of the short game in Tucson, will have to figure out how the pieces fit together with senior Adrienne Acton and freshmen Brittany Lastrapes and Lauren Schutzler, or how he'll build a less traditional source of consistent run production.
• Arizona lost a lot when Caitlin Lowe, Kristie Fox and Chelsie Mesa graduated, but Washington might have been the team in Tempe most pining for the good old days. The Huskies were already without Dena Tyson and Dominique Lastrapes, who both graduated, and Danielle Lawrie, due to Olympic duties with Canada. To make matters worse, Heather Tarr's team was also missing All-American shortstop Ashley Charters. A star at last year's Women's College World Series, Charters' senior season will be pushed back a year after hip surgery. Pairing Charters and Lawrie together one more time makes for promising conjecture concerning 2009, but it also makes for a potentially rough 2008.
The Huskies dropped three of five in Tempe, including one-run losses to Texas State and Oklahoma State. Ironically, the best news might have come in the worst loss, a 10-4 defeat at the hands of Texas A&M. Not only did the Huskies manage 10 hits against previously untouchable A&M starter Megan Gibson, but freshman Aleah Macon came on to strike out 10 Aggies in five innings of one-hit relief for Washington.
• Not unlike Washington, Nebraska made arguably its best showing in a loss against a ranked team to close out the tournament. Playing the entire weekend without ace Molly Hill, who could return from knee surgery in time to pitch at least once next week, the Huskers didn't get consistent innings from either sophomore Alex Hupp or freshman Tori Tyson and struggled to give either of them much in the way of run support.
But trailing Northwestern 4-2 late in Sunday's finale for both teams, the Huskers rode home runs from Haley Long and Crystal Carwile to claim a 6-4 lead. The Wildcats stormed back with four runs of their own to claim the win, but along with a solid weekend from junior college transfer Amanda Duran, the Sunday power surge offered tangible evidence of the potential a young lineup showed at times in Tempe.
• After splitting six games last weekend, Oklahoma State made a mildly surprising 4-0 run at the Kajikawa, adding wins against Western Kentucky, Virginia and Temple to a win against Washington. Senior Kim Kaye continued a torrid start, totaling six hits, six runs, three RBIs and a pair of home runs. With five home runs, Kaye has already topped her total of four from last season, which ranked third on the team. On the other end of the experience spectrum, freshman pitchers Sarah Odom and Amanda Crabtree made the most of their opportunities. Odom got the complete-game win against Washington, while Crabtree tossed a shutout to wrap up the weekend against Temple.
• Notre Dame lost a shot at Arizona when weather washed out the scheduled contest between the teams Friday night, but the Fighting Irish still took something from the Pac-10 by preventing Cal from completing a 5-0 weekend with a 4-3 win on Sunday. The good news for Cal, which had dropped four of six to begin the season, was the performance of Marissa Drewrey. After another strong weekend, the sophomore is now 4-2 with a 1.33 ERA and 56 strikeouts in 47.1 innings. Throw in a terrific start at the plate and in the circle for freshman Valerie Arioto and five early home runs from Sanoe Kekahuna and the Golden Bears could be in better shape to challenge Arizona, Arizona State, UCLA and Stanford than their Pac-10 neighbors to the north in Oregon and Washington.
