Saying that he takes "full responsibility for my actions and the consequences thereof," middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. acknowledged having tested positive for marijuana metabolites consistent with the use of the drug in the aftermath of his unanimous decision loss to RING champion Sergio Martinez that dethroned him as WBC titleholder on Sept. 15 in Las Vegas.
"Any explanation or justification that I can attempt to provide about the recent developments will not be enough or not convincing, so I want to make it known to everyone that I take full responsibility for my actions and the consequences thereof," read a statement that has been attributed to Chavez's Twitter account, and which was authenticated by Top Rank Inc. publicist Ricardo Jiminez.
"I want to apologize to all of those who are disappointed or aggrieved by my behavior. Only I know the cause [of the failed test] and only I will take responsibility. In contrast, I can say that I will emerge stronger from these events and I will vindicate my image in society."
The post-fight infraction was confirmed by Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer on Friday, and Top Rank CEO Bob Arum said Chavez planned to address the issue in a hearing with the Nevada Commission.
"Everything that happened generates an environment conducive to stopping and thinking about the future. Now its time to create the new Julio Cesar Chavez, to begin a stage to restore my career," Chavez's statement continued.
"I will prepare myself physically and mentally, to achieve new goals in the short term, [and one of them] is definitely a rematch with Sergio 'Maravilla' Martinez. I take this opportunity to thank everyone for the support that I have received and also recognize all of those who have sent messages of any kind."
During a call from RingTV.com, Arum expressed optimism upon hearing Chavez's words for the first time.
"It's a great statement that shows a lot of maturity. To me, it's very gratifying, because it shows maturity and it demonstrates that he has learned from this incident," said Arum.
"I applaud the statement, and trust me, I had nothing to do with writing it, and I didn't even know about it, so I am very gratified. "
But if Chavez is found guilty, he can be penalized or fined for the entire amount of his $3 million purse, suspended for up to a year, or a combination of both.
Chavez (46-1-1, 32 knockouts) is being associated with either a banned substance or alcohol abuse for at least the third time in his career, having tested positive for a banned diuretic following his unanimous decision victory over Troy Rowland in November, of 2009, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The result of the Rowland fight was later changed to a "no decision," Chavez was fined $10,000, and he was suspended for seven months by the NSAC.
Chavez was also arrested on Jan. 22 for driving drunk, just a week before his fight with Marco Antonio Rubio in Texas. He later struck a plea deal in mid-June, which granted him three years of probation and ordered him to to attend 30 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, the latter of which he already had completed.
In spite of his legal issue, Chavez successfully defended his belt against Rubio on Feb. 4 in San Antonio on HBO despite being in relatively bad shape and having to lose a large amount of weight the day before the fight.
Chavez was in much better shape for his seventh-round stoppage victory over challenger Andy Lee in June.
He dropped Martinez (50-2-2, 28 KOs) in the 12th round of the HBO PPV-televised fight that he was awarded only four of the 36 rounds scored by judges Dave Moretti, Adalaide Byrd and Stanley Christodoulu, who had Martinez winning, 118-109 (twice) and 117-110.
"Julio has got to prepare better for his fights," said Arum, "and not get involved in any more nonsense."

Suffice it to say, it's not been a particularly fun season for West Ham.
It all got a little bit too much for one young fan who travelled up to the City Ground to watch Nottingham Forest demolish the Hammers 3-0 in the FA Cup over the weekend, and he was captured whimpering on national television.
The poor kid now has something to cheer him up, though, as the club extended an offer to him via their official website:
Everyone at West Ham United shares this young man's disappointment and are grateful for the large numbers of fans that made the trip to the City Ground.
To show the Club's appreciation for the travelling Claret and Blue army, the Board, manager and captain would like to offer this young fan and his family a chance to watch an upcoming fixture at the Boleyn Ground from the Directors' Box.
The crying kid has inspired us to trawl the archives for other tearful fans, most of whom were not lucky enough to get such a generous offer from their clubs...

text: I'm going to start this post to see that it sadens me that a guy considered so smart says so many nonsensical or useless things. I could start with pointing out the mistakes, but I fear I will be played the card of word like it was in the game definition thread, basically state "well game can mean a bazillion things". I think it's hardest this time, because in this case we have a respected guy using a word, and if he uses a word in this speech as he does being ambiguous, it's just sad by itself. So I will go the other way around, first I will ask for definitions of the KEY words used on his speech and then work with that and see if what he says makes sense with these new uses of words that you will supply, or not. 1) What is morality? What's the definition of the word MORAL as used in this video?

Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 World Record SPECjAppServer2004
By Kevin Kelly on Jun 03, 2010
Using five of Oracle's Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 systems for application serving along with one of Oracle's Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 servers for the database server allowed Oracle to deliver a world record result of 28,648.74 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard on the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark.
This result was run using the Oracle WebLogic 10.3.3 Application Server, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, and Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition with the Oracle Solaris 10 operating system to obtain this world record result.Oracle Performance Advantages
This Oracle result is 26% faster than the IBM result of 22,634.13 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard. For the application tier of the benchmark, Oracle used five Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 servers compared to the sixteen IBM BladeCenter HS blades used by IBM. For the database tier, Oracle used a Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 server compared to a IBM system p5 595 used by IBM.
The Oracle result is faster than the HP result of 28,463.03 SPECjAppServer2004 JOPS@Standard. For the application tier of the benchmark, Oracle used five Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 servers compared to the seventeen HP BL870c blade servers used by HP. For the database tier, Oracle used a Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 server compared to a HP Superdome used by HP.
The five Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 servers used a total of 20 RU of space to obtain this result which is 26% less than the 27 RU space used by the three blade chassis containing sixteen IBM BladeCenter HS blades.
IBM uses more than 3.4 times the number of application servers than Oracle.
The five Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 servers occupied 40% of the 50 RU space used by the five blade chassis containing 17 HP BL870c blade servers to obtain this leading result.
HP uses more than 3.2 times the number of application servers than Oracle.
The six Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array storage used in this result occupied 6U of rack space which is 13% of the 44U space used by the database storage in the IBM result.
The database storage in the HP result used 4x EVA81000 Storage arrays consuming112U of space is more than 18 times the 6U space used for database storage in the Oracle result.
The application server storage in the HP result used an EVA6100 storage space which consumed 16U of space for JMS logs. The 5x T5440 each used internal SSDs for the same function - no additional external storage was used.
Six of Oracle's Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array storage were used with Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition on the Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 server to show outstanding database performance in this benchmark.
These results were obtained using Java Platform, Standard Edition JDK 6 Update 20 on the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 servers and running the Oracle Solaris 10 10/09 operating system.
The five Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440 servers used Oracle Solaris Containers to consolidate eight Oracle Weblogic application server instances on each server to achieve this result.
Oracle Fusion Middleware provides a family of complete, integrated, hot pluggable and best-of-breed products known for enabling enterprise customers to create and run agile and intelligent business applications. Oracle WebLogic Servers on-going, record-setting Java application server performance demonstrates why so many customers rely on Oracle Fusion Middleware as their foundation for innovation.
Oracle has other benchmarks that show that Oracle's "Optimized System Performance" is more important than IBM's "Per-core Performance Focus".

The Enlarged Board of Appeal held in G 2/97 that the appellant's responsibility for fulfilling the conditions of an admissible appeal could not be devolved to the board of appeal. There can be no legitimate expectation on the part of users of the European patent system that a board of appeal will issue warnings with respect to deficiencies in meeting such responsibilities. To take the principle of good faith that far would imply, in practice, that the boards of appeal would have to systematically assume the responsibilities of the parties to proceedings before them, a proposition for which there was no legal justification in the Convention or in general principles of law.
In T 267/08 the board made it clear that it was under no obligation to warn a party of deficiencies in the filing of an authorisation; rather, the party itself had the responsibility to take all necessary steps to avoid a loss of rights. Responsibility for filing a valid authorisation could not be devolved to the board.

GOP Lawmakers Press Investigation of Gun Operation
Talk about fast and furious.
Republican lawmakers are preparing their biggest push yet to try to force the Justice Department to explain a troubled federal investigation that they say inadvertently fueled arms trafficking to Mexico.
Rep. Darrell Issa, (R., Calif.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee has scheduled hearings next Monday and Wednesday on how the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives' "Operation Fast and Furious" backfired.
Among those called to testify are ATF whistleblowers who have provided information to congressional investigators.
The ATF investigation in 2009 and 2010 was aimed at gathering evidence against major gun traffickers believed to funnel weapons to Mexican drug cartels, whose battles have claimed 40,000 lives since 2006.
Two assault rifles that lawmakers say were tied to suspects in the Fast and Furious operation were found at the scene of a December shooting in Arizona in which border patrol agent Brian Terry was killed. The weapon that was used to kill the agent hasn't been identified. A Mexican national has been indicted in the killing.
Mr. Issa and Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R.,Iowa) have been investigating the operation, and say evidence indicates the ATF instead allowed more than 2,500 weapons to fall into the hands of traffickers.
The Wall Street Journal reported today that a weapons arsenal found in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in April included at least five AK-47 style rifles that U.S. authorities trace to suspects in the ATF's troubled operation. ATF documents show the guns were entered into a database of suspect guns.
The discovery appears to be the first confirmation of GOP fears that because of a poorly conceived operation, Fast and Furious guns ended up with drug gangs in Mexico.
"The reckless decisions of ATF and Justice Department officials in Operation Fast and Furious have devastated lives and put fear into communities on both sides of the border," Mr. Issa said.
The Justice Department said Attorney General Eric Holder takes "the allegations that have been raised seriously" and has ordered an inspector general probe of the matter.
The ATF controversy is turning into a political battle, with Republicans and Democrats switching arguments about the propriety of Congress holding hearings at the same time investigations are ongoing probes. In the 2007 scandal that followed the firings of U.S. attorneys in the Bush administration, Democrats pushed for hearings, while Republicans called such moves improper.
The Issa hearings next week include an appearance from Sen. Grassley, who doesn't have subpoena power in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
The ATF operation has been raised by Mr. Grassley in Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, but Chairman Patrick Leahy hasn't called any hearings on the issue. A congressional aide said Mr. Leahy hasn't received any requests to call hearings and that as a former prosecutor, Mr. Leahy is keen to allow existing investigations to be completed.

With the launch of pension plans in insurance and open-ended mutual funds, today, women somehow feel that it is "in' to invest in such new age instruments. There is no doubt that these instruments are transparent in their operations, give flexibility in choosing the proper asset mix, are market-linked and so on.
But one has to understand that "putting all money in one basket is not the right investment strategy".
So, while you have investments in mutual funds and insurance plans, there is also a need to diversify investments across instruments. And one of the most under-rated investibles for retirement planning is the Public Provident Fund (PPF).

Drug Safety:
A lot of people don't drink but some do. You will not feel left out if you don't drink or do drugs.
Drug Safety:
Our campus police do a very admirable part to keep the young peoples on campus safe and out of harms way, including drugs.
Drug Safety:
Valparaiso University is a dry and drug-free campus, meaning that drugs and alcohol are prohibited on campus. Some students go off campus to drink or do drugs, but most who do are very responsible about it and only partake in moderation.
Drug Safety:
It's a dry tobacco free campus which removes a lot of opportunity for use or pressure to use.
Drug Safety:
Many students use and abuse alcohol and marijuana, but for the most part, it is kept under control by the VUPD and the close knit community where everyone knows your name.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Finding drugs on campus is a difficult task. The portion of the campus population that participates in drug use is minimal. Just about every student knows more people in his/her high school class who did drugs than people around campus who do drugs. The most used drug, not including alcohol, would be marijuana, but it is used by a limited amount of students so it is not noticeable.
At Valpo, there are the people who have tried this or done that, but if you have to choose a "drug" that gets the most use on campus, it would be alcohol. However, if you don't drink there is no pressure to do so. Even at the bigger fraternity parties, no one forces anyone to drink. It is really easy for drinkers and non-drinkers to coexist with each other, which makes the atmosphere on campus really positive.

I specified in the notes when ordering that the driver needs to take the 2nd left turn once in my close. I always say this because it can be a bit of a maze. I happened to look out the window when I saw the driver walking down from the top of the close, then after giving me the food walked off in a completely opp direction to his car. As a result of his inability to follow a simple direction he parked, walked around before finally delivering my food cold

Friday, Sept. 14, 2012
COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) -- Authorities in Columbus say a woman accused of dragging a police officer with her car has been charged with aggravated assault on an officer.
Columbus police said 41-year-old Marlina Rivers was taken into custody Thursday and also faces charges of theft by shoplifting and obstruction of an officer.
The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports that Rivers is accused of shoplifting nearly $200 worth of items from a Kmart store. Authorities say Columbus police Officer Whitney Foster responded to the store and tried to stop Rivers, who by then was in her car. Police say Rivers sped away, and at one point dragged Foster across the pavement.
Foster sustained injuries to her arms, legs and right eye.
Muscogee County Jail records do not indicate whether Rivers has an attorney.

Sikeston enters the season ranked No. 4 in Class 3 after a fourth place finish at state last year.
With the majority of the pitching and many key offensive players returning, head coach Kevin Self is hoping for third consecutive trip to Columbia.
"My expectations are the same as they've been the last two years -- and that's pretty high," said Self. "We want to win the conference, win the district, and then you want to not only get to the Final Four, but you want to win it. Our goals are set pretty high, we want to win a state title. It's as simple as that."
The top returning player is junior all-state infielder Blake DeWitt, who has been starting since he was a freshman. He led the team in most offensive categories last season, batting .458 with 31 runs batted in and 38 runs scored.
With the graduation of Adam Garrett, DeWitt will move from third base to shortstop this season.
Self says an off-season weight-lifting program has helped DeWitt's speed and strength.
"He's lost some weight and he's gotten a lot stronger," said Self. "I think people are going to be surprised to watch him play. He is a lot faster and quicker than he's been in the past. And he's really hitting the ball. He's been hitting some shots out of there with a wooden bat. I'd hate to see what he's going to do when he starts swinging an aluminum bat. I would expect more power out of him."
Also returning is catcher Jacob Priday who burst onto the scene last year as a sophomore with a big offensive year.
He hit .427 with a team-leading 34 RBIs and 31 runs scored. He also led the team with 17 extra-base hits.
Drew Lawrence, the only returning senior that started last year, will be moved from left field to third base.
He batted .317 with 22 RBIs and 20 runs scored last year.
"I look for Drew Lawrence to have a big year as a senior," said Self. "Traditionally here in the last few years our seniors have had really good years. That's why we've gone to the Final Four."
Junior Lance Rhodes is the team's top hurler, going 6-1 with a 1.43 earned run average last year in 58 2/3 innings. He struck out 56 and walked 31.
When he's not pitching he will handle shortstop, third base and some outfield.
Rhodes batted .311 with 16 RBIs last season.
DeWitt is the team's No. 2 pitcher after going 8-0 with a 2.50 ERA. He struck out 58 and walked eight in 50 1/3 innings.
"One of them is going to play short when the other pitches," said Self of Rhodes and DeWitt. "Lance has looked really good at short. His range is better, he's faster and stronger."
Junior Nathan Eaves started in right field last year as he batted .344 with 15 RBIs and 16 runs scored. He is one of the fastest players on the team.
Junior Scotty Keenan, who started first base the second half of the season last year, will be moved to the outfield and will get some more time on the mound.
The left-handed Keenan only threw six innings last year, but he recorded a win and struck out five.
Self says his power has increased and his arm strength is better.
Senior Adam Miller has some big shoes to fill as he will take over the second base position from graduated all-stater Jamie Puckett.
Miller had three hits in only 15 at-bats last year but he is considered a good defensive player with good range.
Sophomore Richard Landers could also see some time at second base.
Junior Brad Deere, who went 1-for-3 in a brief varsity stint last year, will take over the left field position.
Junior Zach Fayette and sophomore Cullen DeHart will both play first base.
DeHart, a left-hander, will also get some time on the mound.
"With Scotty and Cullen DeHart that gives me two left-handers that I've never had," said Self. "I never had even one until last year."
Self said sophomore Bryce Wibbenmeyer and Lawrence, who picked up a win in four innings of work last year, will also pitch this year.
Seniors Luke Jackson and Brandon Eldridge and sophomore Ross Merideth all give Self some quality depth.
"We've got some big holes that were left from last year, but our program is kind of to the point where usually there'll be some kids step into those holes and fill those," said Self. "We expect that to happen again this year."
With only one senior with a lot of playing time returning, Self is expecting his talented junior class to be the leaders of the team.
"These juniors really had to grow up in a hurry last year as sophomores," said Self. "Blake's been to two Final Fours and he's played in the championship game. A lot of these guys have played in pressure situations and that's why they've done well."
The Bulldogs have a revamped schedule this year with the addition of the Reidland Wooden Bat Tournament and regular season games with St. Dominick, East Carter County and Clearwater.
Sikeston dropped out of the Greene County Tech Tournament, an even the Bulldogs had won the last four years.
Another highlight on the schedule will be the SEMO Conference Tournament the first week of May.
There is a new face in the district this year with the addition of Notre Dame. The school was bumped up a classification after the private school multiplier was passed.
It will add even more to an already brutal district that includes perennial contenders Kennett and Dexter.
"It'll be a good tournament but that's the way you like it," said Self. "You want them tough, you don't want them easy. Maybe not as tough as last year when you've got to win it on a bases loaded walk in the 10th inning."
Sikeston will open the season at home on Tuesday when they host Notre Dame at VFW Stadium at 4 p.m.
The Bulldogs will follow that up with another home game on Wednesday against Kelly at 4 p.m.
Sikeston has won 20 or more games for three straight years and they have reached the Final Four two years in a row.
So Self knows his team will always have a target on its back.
"What we've done the last couple of years, when we're on somebody's schedule, we're going to get their best," said Self. "We're going to get their best hurler and probably their best game, so you can't let up on anybody."

Search engines make it easier for disappointed shoppers to share their fury.
The shoes vexed her.
As my fiancée and I prepared for our low-key wedding this year, we faced hardly any headaches selecting our venue, sending out the invitations and choosing all the nice sentimental words for the ceremony. When possible we purchased our needed materials online; my wife, for instance, ordered hundreds of vintage buttons from various people across the nation so she would craft her homemade, non-organic "flower" arrangements.
But then came the shoes. My fiancée was going for a vintage look, and each night, it seemed, she would scour the web for that perfect pair. I don't pretend to know anything about shoes—I only recently graduated from Payless to higher-priced stores—but I remember the weekly disappointment she had when she opened another package and learned the shoes were the wrong color, the wrong size, the wrong style. After all, who likes constant broken promises?
Finally she found the right pair, but not before unleashing her fury on whatever ratings and review sites were relevant. My fiancée—sorry, my wife—is not a person who gives in easily to desires of revenge, but she did want to make sure all those merchants, whether boutiques or budding eBay entrepreneurs, would not go unpunished for those weeks and weeks of pre-wedding grief.
The lesson? Just because you are dealing with customers who are a time zone or two away doesn't mean you can treat them poorly and expect to get away with it. Sure, this seems obvious, but two developments this week should reinforce this lesson for any online retailer interested in having a fatter bank account.
First, Google Inc. indicated it would give more weight to reviews of merchants in paid search results. Some retailers may have had the luxury of ignoring reviews, but that is changing, says Scot Wingo, CEO and president of ChannelAdvisor Corp. "We think this is a top priority to look at right now—especially during the summer months," he says. "You don't want to roll into the holidays without having your best foot forward on these reviews."
Second, Bing, the search engine operated by Microsoft Corp., said it is working with ResellerRatings.com, a provider of syndicated reviews of online merchants. Bing had provided consumers with product reviews only. Consumers now will have access to more than 430,000 customer reviews of retailers. "This is a great way to help consumers make more informed purchase decisions," says Michael Paulson, Bing director of product management.
So, online retailers, remember to keep your promises, or you might find it easier for your customers to tell the whole world you did not.
With Google devoting less space to search ads, those positions become more valuable than ever.

Big changes!
After 5 wonderful years working with passionate and skilled people I am now moving to São Paulo to work at Facebook's office for Latin America. My official role will be Partner Engineer.
This doesn't mean that I will go away from KDE, neither from Qt. It just means that I will contribute more on my free time (as it was before Nokia acquired Trolltech) than during working hours.
I am thrilled with this opportunity and I am sure that all of you who know me are also happy with this announcement.
I will be a little bit offline the next days due to my move, but I will be checking emails regularly

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
From the Quagmire to Savior and...
Treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas with Monoclonal...
From our September 1 Issue: We're...
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are the fastest growing segment within the pharmaceutical market. Among their important attributes is their high specificity. The ability to target specific antigens (expressed on cells, tissues, and organs) involved in the pathology of disease minimizes side effects and contributes significantly to the popularity and success of monoclonal antibodies in clinical applications.
Unlike several conventional (small molecule) therapies that offer only short-term symptomatic relief and can potentially cause serious side effects, it is believed that monoclonal antibodies provide more effective treatment with greater efficacy and tolerability.
Genmab creates and develops fully human monoclonal antibodies using UltiMab® technology licensed from Medarex. Therapeutic antibodies produced using this technology consist of 100% human proteins. High-quality, high-affinity human antibodies can reportedly be rapidly generated in a matter of months and can be selected to bind to naturally occurring human target proteins, tumor cells, or infectious agents. The UltiMab technology eliminates the need for humanization or complicated genetic engineering, which can be time consuming and expensive, according to the company.

PRIEST RIVER, Idaho — Bonner County officials say two teens from Nine Miles Falls, Wash., drowned in a fast moving stream near Priest Lake over the weekend.
The bodies of the male victims, ages 19 and 16, were recovered at about 5 a.m. Saturday in a log jam below the bridge near Priest Lake.
A group of campers at Lion Head Campground called 911 at about 1 a.m. Saturday to report that two members of their five-person party were missing and presumed caught in the fast flowing Lion Head Creek.
Volunteers with Priest Lake Search and Rescue and sheriff deputies began searching early Saturday.
The names of the victims were withheld while family members were notified.

Malaysia has its origins in the Malay Kingdoms present in the area which, from the 18th century, became subject to the British Empire. The first British territories were known as the Straits Settlements, whose establishment was followed by the Malay kingdoms becoming British protectorates. The territories on Peninsular Malaysia were first unified as the Malayan Union in 1946. Malaya was restructured as the Federation of Malaya in 1948, and achieved independence on 31 August 1957. Malaya united with Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore on 16 September 1963, with si being added to give the new country the name Malaysia. However, less than two years later in 1965, Singapore was expelled from the federation. Since independence, Malaysia has had one of the best economic records in Asia, with GDP growing an average 6.5% for almost 50 years. The economy has traditionally been fuelled by its natural resources, but is expanding in the sectors of science, tourism, commerce and medical tourism. The country is multi-ethnic and multi-cultural, which plays a large role in politics. The government system is closely modelled on the Westminster parliamentary system and the legal system is based on English Common Law. The constitution declares Islam the state religion while protecting freedom of religion. The head of state is the King, known as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. He is an elected monarch chosen from the hereditary rulers of the nine Malay states every five years. The head of government is the Prime Minister. Malaysia contains the southernmost point of continental Eurasia, Tanjung Piai. Located in the tropics, it is a megadiverse country, with large numbers of endemic flora and fauna. It is a founding member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, and a member of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the Non-Aligned Movement.

Hi all,
I'm about to begin documenting a page inventory of an existing medium-sized Web app. As I'm starting from scratch, I'd love to know which tools you use and how you organize your list of pages and interactions. In the past I've used a spreadsheet in which I grouped the pages by sections of functionality. This worked well, but I want to include interactions and design patterns, which may show up across multiple areas of the app (uploading a photo may occur in a photo gallery, a forum post or a blog post) while avoiding redundant entries.
Ultimately this doc will have the following pieces of information, though I am open to suggestions for better ways to organize and information to add or leave off:
* Sections (Forum, Blog, Gallery etc.)
* Individual pages / screens
* Interactions and modal windows (the user clicks the Upload Photo button and a modal dialog appears)
* Associated wireframes where available (name of the wireframe doc + page number or the actual wireframe)
* Associated design comps where available (not as important in the grand scheme)
And of course the easier it is to maintain, the higher the likelihood that it will be kept up to date, so efficiency tips would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance,

MarketBeat: Option Traders 'Call' on RIM to Continue Higher
(This story was first posted on The Wall Street Journal Online's Market Beat blog at http://blogs.wsj.com/marketbeat.)
By Kaitlyn Kiernan
Option traders are betting weak iPhone demand will be a boon for Research in Motion Ltd., as the BlackBerry maker prepares to launch its newest smartphone later this month.
Trading in bullish Research in Motion options surged to more than twice the daily average by midafternoon Monday amid reports Apple has reduced iPhone 5 component orders because of weaker-than-forecast demand. With less than three weeks remaining before the launch of the much-anticipated BlackBerry 10, options traders are betting RIM shares can jump to a 13-month high in the coming months.
"There is a lot of speculation that RIM can continue higher, with even more anticipation for the BlackBerry 10 release with the Apple news [Monday]," said Joe Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade. "Investors are betting that, with momentum from Apple slowing, the momentum in RIM shares will pick up."

Renowned cheetah expert Laurie Marker is coming back home to San Jose to talk about the big cats at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo on Friday.
Marker has had quite an adventurous life since she graduated from Leland High School in the early 1970s, traveling the world and founding the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia more than two decades ago.
She's been on TV -- everything from "Good Morning America" to "The Tonight Show" -- and was the recipient of both the Intel Environmental Prize at the Tech Awards and the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement. Heck, Time magazine even named her a Hero for the Planet, which isn't a bad line on a résumé.
So I'd say we're pretty lucky to have Marker, the world's leading expert on the big cats, taking part in Happy Hollow Park & Zoo's Conservation Lecture series. Her talk at the Leininger Community Center begins at 6:30 p.m., and, yes, she'll be bringing along a "cheetah ambassador" named Themba.
Tickets can be purchased for $35 at www.hhpz.org, with proceeds going to the Cheetah Conservation Fund.
BENEFIT FOR A CHEF: Friends and former co-workers of Gerardo Rodriguez are rallying around the family of the pastry chef, who was a popular fixture at both the Lion & Compass in Sunnyvale and Birk's in Santa Clara before he suffered a brain aneurysm in March at age 38.
A benefit is being held in his honor Saturday at the Lion & Compass as a way to give something back to his wife and their four children.
Tickets to the 5 p.m. benefit -- which will include a taco bar, live music and a raffle -- are $30 for adults, $15 for youths and free for kids 7 and under. Tickets will be sold at the door of the restaurant, which is at 1023 N. Fair Oaks Ave. For more information or to make reservations, call 408-745-1260.
LIVELY EVENT: Nine-year-old Nayah Damasen of San Jose got a standing ovation for her rendition of the Jackson Five's "I'll Be There" on Saturday night from a crowd of more than 350 people who attended Unity Care Group's third annual Youth Live! fundraiser at the San Jose Fairmont. She's been performing since age 2 and has sung for the Golden State Warriors and the Oakland Raiders as well as at last year's America's Cup.
It was certainly a highlight in an evening that included a keynote speech by Daymond John of "Shark Tank" that stressed the importance of mentors and a silent auction of 50 pieces of art created by youth who are in Unity Care's programs for foster youth. Campbell artist Lorraine Lawson once again lent her time to work with the young people on their art, and it was no surprise that by the end of the night every piece had sold.

Capt AJ & Capt Trent have the crew from the Lifestyles channel fishing show Fishing Addiction on board for 3 days. The first day, Tuesday, Capt AJ headed out and caught a 60kg striped marlin. The film crew got some excellent above & below the water footage. We also had a nice blue marlin on that jumped through the line unfortuantely and lost a black marlin in the afternoon.
Yesterday Capt Trent took the film crew out & caught a black marlin. The guy that was angling was surprised by the show with this trip & because he caught a striped & black marlin he receives $5000 in tackle, not bad for 2 marlin. Today is the last day of their charter with Capt Trent at the helm again. Stay tuned for the day's results. And also stay tuned to Lifestyle channel, we will let you know when it goes to air!!

Details released in double fatal Adirondack snowmobile crash
Alcohol may have been a factor in the two-sled crash, say police
Published 1:13 PM EST Mar 04, 2013
State police have released more details about a head-on snowmobile crash that killed two men in the Adirondacks over the weekend.
Troopers say 59-year-old Thomas Dykstra of Suffern was on a 2009 Arctic Cat heading north on Indian Lake when he rode into the path of 51-year-old Paul Prill IV, who was riding south on a 2002 Polaris at about 7 p.m. Saturday.
Both men were thrown from their sleds. They were declared dead at a hospital.
The cause of the accident is under investigation Monday, but troopers say they suspect drinking alcohol contributed to the wreck.

I didn't realize this was a pregnancy symptom until today. I am now 18 days late for my period and have taken 4 urine tests (5 days late, 7 days late, 12 days late, and 16 days late...all negative). I used my first morning urine on the on 2 of them and the one taken at 12 days was at my doctors office in the middle of the afternoon when I had a hard time even going to the bathroom - I had to kind of force it. I have not taken a blood test yet so that will most likely be done at my next appointment which is scheduled for July 6th if I dont start another period by then. I was on birth control from May 2007 - May 2008 without missing a day in May so the likelihood that I am pregnant is small and I could be overreacting but with these veins, I am not overreacting. I also have heard that the blue veins can appear while on the pill but I find it weird that they show up now and I have missed my period. I am now off the pill (doctor's orders) until/if I start my next cycle.
I noticed the blue veins late last month (May). They are on each breast and travel to the nipple. I have started having brief headaches right above my left eye. It is like a sharp pain then its gone. The longest it has lasted is on and off for a day. I have had minor cramping (similar to my period starting). I felt like I was going to get my period when it was supposed to come (May 31) and once again 7 days later (June 6) but I have had no spotting, blood, or discoloration. My breasts do not feel sore but they do look a little fuller then normal. I drink pretty much only water, tea, and juice and have noticed lately that I go to the bathroom a little more then normal. It isn't an urgent sensation to go but its just a little more frequent than normal. I noticed a small amount of discharge about 4 days ago but that could be from being off the pill also as I used to discharge like that normally before being on the pill.
I am not sure if I have a specific question rather hearing advice from anyone else who has experienced the same thing or similar and what caused it. I understand most of the symptoms I have had can be related to the pill or hormonal imbalance. If this happened to you and you had mulitple negative pregnancy tests what was the final outcome if you weren't preggo? If you turned out to be preggo how many days late were you when you finally tested positive?
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to give all details that I can think of instead of having to add more. This is a very confusing time for me so I want to thank anyone in advance for any advice you can give.

I know this is probably not going to be what you want to hear - but if your body is producing enough hormones to cause pregnancy symptoms, then it would also be producing enough hormones to trigger a pregnancy test. With that said, it doesn't sound like you are pregnant. It sounds like your body is adjusting to how to regulate itself without birth control pills.
Good luck TTC. Remember to MAKE IT FUN.

I was still on the pill when I missed my period. I didn't come off the pill until day 6 late (of course those 6 days were inactive pills). So I don't understand how that works. Sorry if that sounds mean, not trying to be but I am confused that I would be late to begin with while on the pill. BTW, I wasn't trying to get pregnant but I am a heavy smoker and I want to be sure I should quit. I know I should quit anyway but thats alot of potentially unneeded stress for quitting if I don't "have" to.

I guess, if it were pregnancy that made you late on your period to begin with, you'd be having positive pregnancy tests. All the pregnancy symptoms, no period, sore breasts, dizziness, nausea, etc - are caused by hormones that your body gives off when it is pregnant.
It takes 10-14 days after conception for these hormones to become strong enough to cause anything. The first symptom is a missed period. Followed shortly behind by sore breasts and nausea (not all women get this).
Your symptoms could all be related to something else, is what I'm saying. Symptoms are not always indicative of pregnancy. They could be PMS symptoms. Or a hormonal imbalance from going off birth control pills. Your period could have been late due to normal pill useage and the fact that some women can stop having periods, have lesser bleeding, and their period becomes light an non-existent.
What does your doctor say? Why haven't you had a blood test yet? I'd be demanding one.

I gotcha...I am just paranoid now about the blue veins. I had never realized that they are a sign of preg and now they are here and its weird and confusing to me.
Ya, I was pretty pissed at the doctor on Monday when I went. My copay through insurance is $25. That is $25 for a pregnancy test and I could have done at home and gotten the same result. I told him when I got there that I needed a blood test because all urine tests had been neg. I am starting to realize that he is a just a male who doesn't understand and I may need to get a female doctor. If I don't get my period by the end of the month (which is when he expects it to come) than I will either demand a blood test or leave his office and find a new doctor.

Why does your doctor feel you've skipped a period? Considering he works for you, you might want to call up and make another appointment before the end of the month. What is he going to do? Refuse a blood test that you are paying for? That seems like bad medicine, doesn't it?
You have all these signs of pregnancy because you are looking for them. Not conciously, just... you know when you get a new blue car then suddenly you notice everyone is driving a blue car. You never realized it before because you weren't focused on it. Now you are focused on potential pregnancy symptoms.
I'll be honest with you, blue veins were never high on my list of first symptoms. The searing boob pain was though. I couldn't even take a shower without that pain. I've thought I was pregnant a few times, even feared being pregnant, but when I really did fall pregnant the second time, I knew right away because of the agonizing boob pain.

My doctor thinks I have missed it beacuse of a hormonal imbalance. I haven't had sore breasts other then when I push on my nipple but those are sensitive anyway.
I know what you mean by realizing symptoms because you are looking for them and until I realized that blue veins was a symptom I didn't really think I was pregnant. This is pretty much what put me over the line...that and today is 18 days late when I have always been regular. I did spot last month (all brown) also midcycle...on May 17 and again on May 21 - 25. I had a dr appt on May 22 for a pap smear and he wanted to check for preg bc of being on the pill and it was in the middle of my cycle. But that came out neg which seems totally normal because I hadn't even missed a period yet so I thought nothing of it. He just wanted to do one as a precaution.
Me and the dr decided that if that was my cycle being screwed up and "resetting" then I would start my new period by Mon June 16 and no later then June 18...but alas I have not and I don't feel like I am going to so my new date to wait for is June 30. If I haven't started by then I was going to take another test at home before the dr visit.

AbstractGenomics is playing an increasing role in plant breeding and this is accelerating with the rapid advances in genome technology. Translating the vast abundance of data being produced by genome technologies requires the development of custom bioinformatics tools and advanced databases. These range from large generic databases which hold specific data types for a broad range of species, to carefully integrated and curated databases which act as a resource for the improvement of specific crops. In this review, we outline some of the features of plant genome databases, identify specific resources for the improvement of individual crops and comment on the potential future direction of crop genome databases.

It is no secret, that tea tempers the spirit, dispels lassitude, relieves fatigue and refreshes the mind and body, but the big question is how does one prepare a perfect morning cuppa?
Many people ask for nothing more than a warm soothing beverage hence the art of making a good cup of tea has simply remained 'pot'-luck.
However, in the hunt for perfection in a tea cup, researchers at the University of Northumbria's School of Life Sciences spent hours demystifying the tea making process.
After spending 180 hours of testing and downing 285 cups of tea in the laboratory, scientists devised a new mathematical formula which will finally end the 'brewing' debate.
They crafted the perfect cup of tea with the optimal temperature, infusion, imbibation and milk.
The formula created by scientists for the perfect cup of tea is: TB + (H2O at 100C) 2mins BT + C (10ml) + 6mins BT = PC (at OT 60C).
TB = tea bag, BT = brewing time, C = milk, PC = perfect cuppa, OT = optimum temperature.
After spending 180 hours of testing and downing 285 cups of tea in the laboratory, scientists devised a new mathematical formula which will finally end the 'brewing' debate. They crafted the perfect cup with the optimal temperature, infusion, imbibation and addition of milk.
A precise approach to making tea
The scientists devised a step-by-step guide to help people get the most out of the world's favourite drink.
According to experts, the best method was to pour the freshly boiled water onto the tea bag in the cup and brew for two minutes. The next step was to remove the bag and add 10 ml of milk.
Senior lecturer Ian Brown, a food and nutrition expert in the university's School of Life Sciences who led the research, said, "When enjoying a cup of tea, our palette requires a balance between bitterness and sweetness.
"Milk quantities and brewing time were key factors studied throughout our investigation into the perfect brew."
"You might not expect to find toffee flavour in black tea, but by adding milk, toffee and vanilla flavours are intensified while the wood and grassy notes are reduced."
"This may explain why 98 per cent of Brits love tea with milk."
Ideal temperature
Explaining the brewing process further, the experts said after adding milk the beverage should be left for six minutes till it attains the ideal drinking temperature of 60C.This helps to efficiently extract flavour from the leaf.
However, after 17 minutes and 30 seconds, the tea will drops below 45C, temperature not warm enough to savour an "all round sensory experience".
Brown added, "The optimum temperature to drink tea at is 60 degrees centigrade. With the addition of milk, our brews were able to reach the optimum temperature after six minutes, two minutes faster than black tea.
"Waiting six minutes for tea to reach 60C avoids the risk of scalding, yet still allows us to enjoy the full flavours and aromas in our cuppa.
Flavonoids in tea counteract cardiovascular disease
Tea is a unique beverage that is by far the most popular drink worldwide. It acts as a restorative, a comforter and brings people together. More and more people are turning to tea due to its health benefits.
Tea leaves are known to contain a potpourri of potentially beneficial compounds called flavonoids. These compounds offer resistance against harmful molecules which accumulate in the body and damage cells.
Studies have established that flavonoid content prevents the oxidation of the so-called bad cholesterol in the blood that leads to the build up of plaque in artery walls. This in turn helps towards maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.

Apparently this just came out Friday, Kevin Hall reports that the Republican Party of Iowa evicted the Polk County Republicans from their headquarters. They gave them three weeks to move. They site "security" problems with volunteers coming in and out. Shouldn't this be seen as a good thing?
I'd think that perhaps A.J. Spiker may want to keep them around. pick their brains a little since Polk County Republicans fundraising is on an upswing while the Iowa GOP's is tanking.
Just saying.
This seems to be to be a really stupid move. This comes after they gave the Conservative Breakfast Club the boot, another stupid move.
