A new Oneida and Herkimer County Community Health Assessment is focusing on preventing tobacco-related illnesses and breastfeeding
A coalition of health groups is working on an action plan in those areas.
A draft data book for the health assessment has been posted online on the St. Elizabeth Medical Center website.
The data shows that 25.1 percent of Oneida County adult residents smoked in 2009, compared to only 17percent statewide. In Herkimer County, only 20.9 percent of adults smoked, but 33 percent of Herkimer County high school students smoked. That compares to 21 percent of Oneida County high school students and 21.2 percent of students stataewide.
Although the rates of breastfeeding in both counties are above the state average, the data book notes that black and Latina women are considerably less likely to breastfeed than white women. Women from Somalia and Burma were much more likely to breastfeed.
The 2013 health assessment was conducted by a team including representative of local hospitals, the Oneida County Health Department and community agencies with technical support from faculty and staff of the Central New York Master of Public Health Program. The work group included representatives from Herkimer County.
The assessment was launched at a community health forum in May, at which participants identified and prioritized health system and health status issues.
The 93-page draft report includes data on chronic diseases, lifestyle, disease prevention, environmental and safety issues, sexually transmitted diseases, infectious diseases, mental health, substance abuse and maternal, infant and child health.
The book can be accessed on the St. Elizabeth Medical Center website at www.stemc.org/news/item/432.

grabLunch() eatLunch()Creating the lunch would be silly - that's for the maid to do - and even the maid doesn't make the lunch, they just getTheLunchIngredients() from the store or the fridge. Making lunch is more work - disposing of the lunch and its wrappers and garbage is even more hard work. Disposing and creating lunches causes more hassles than if the lunch was just there.. as a command. giveMeLunch() and eatLunch(). With computer systems, we should reduce any creation work. We should just be able to command the computer in a SlaveOrientedProgramming manner. This means that programmers should not create their objects (unless absolutely necessary, such as if the sandwich just isn't good enough in the FreeLunch and we have to initialize it with some mustard - but even initializing it doesn't mean creating and freeing it.). Computers are Slaves We should be able to command anything we want out of our computer without creating anything or disposing of anything (but in some cases we will dispose if it means getting to the store faster.. for example disposing of the person that is in your way blocking you from leaving the house). In some cases creation and disposable is useful, but in most cases we just should be able to commandHim to doThatNow. For example if we really want to do hard labour and work in a factory and create cars.. then we can do so.. but if possible it would be better just to getCar() and driveCar(). Even buyCar() is not required in SlaveOrientedProgramming because I can just stealCar(). This comes from a ModularWeenie? and ProceduralWeenie?. I use objects when I have to, and I use the heap when I have to.. but the stack is also great and some simple "commands without instances" at times are also great. Jokingly, it also means that most life on earth was really not created... someone just commanded sh*t to happen and it did. Okay, only in some cases where absolutely necessary might have there been an instance - such as an atom. But maybe this atom was composed of other things and just commanded together, possibly. Imagine, that you actually had to make breakfast as an instance?
stealIngredients() if makeMeBreakfast == false then cookBreakfastMyself() eatIt()There is no creation of the breakfast.... there is no freeing of the breakfast. Even stealing the ingredients isn't necessary since we already have all of them (stored in a fridge module, and they never run out.. they only contain bugs and diseases at times). BreakFast contains the word "fast" in it and is a command itself. BreakFast isn't even a noun. It's an action. Break Fast. Break Now. When you tell someone in real life to make you break fast, do you first have to create that person? No. A computer should make you breakfast without any hassles such as first the comptuer becoming pregnant and having a child in order to make breakfast for you. That's complex. Creating Code The only thing I'd argue we need to create.. is the code itself (but even that is just thoughts commanded on to paper). We have enough creating and hard work to do so stop requiring so many instance creations and freeings please. We spend enough time creating code, so why create instances if we don't need them? Garbage Collection Garbage collection helps half of the time.. but even better is something that doesn't require freeing or creating.. just declare and use. As a bonus, in many cases these declare and use (stack items or reference counted items) are faster than any other type out there. Wait, I get a FreeLunch that is also better? How can a FreeLunch be better than one that I have to make myself? In some aspects, the one you have to make yourself can offer more customization.. but half the time I just need to eat the good FreeLunch since it is GoodEnough and. For super customization of your own instancee.. many times YouArentGonnaNeedIt. Consider this situation where we just need a fricking list of strings:
program mylist; var s: StackStringList?; begin s.add('item1'); s.add('item2'); s.add('item3'); for i:= low(s.items) to high(s.items) do writeln(s.items[i]); end;Compare the above simple code to this nonsense:
program mylist; var s: TStringListObject; begin s:= TStringListObject.Create; // dangling pointer! Dangerous s.add('item1'); s.add('item2'); s.add('item3'); for i:= low(s.items) to high(s.items) do writeln(s.items[i]); s.free; // how does this help us? the instance does what for us? s:= nil; // how does this help us? the instance does what for us? end;Thread programmers will argue the instance helps! it does! which is nonsense. Put the item in a command. Garbage collection programmers will argue that there is no dangling pointer so garbage collection solves the worlds problems. True to an extent except that the above solution doesn't even require the garbage collection and doesn't require any instance. JustDoIt for crying out loud. Put the item in a command:
procedure threadSafe_SoThere; var s: StackStringList?; // or reference counted begin s.add('item1'); s.add('item2'); s.add('item3'); for i:= low(s.items) to high(s.items) do writeln(s.items[i]); end;Encapsulation? Need to initialize something within the list of strings? Fine. Do so. Say so. You don't have to shove that code into a Create() constructor.. you can put it in a more descriptive Init() procedure. Encapsulation doesn't just exist in OOP. Inheritance? Some times you just need the damn stringlist. Sometimes you need an integer list with sort capabilities (as opposed to an Array which is just too simple). But a stringlist doesn't have to have babies and children all the time. If it does, you can wrap it and extend it.... either by reusing the existing one and adding more to it (using an object without an instance on the stack, which some argue isn't a real object.. so let's call it a good useful structure that can be extended). Memory Creation We do have to allocate memory sometimes, but it can be wrapped and abstracted. We shouldn't be creating it over and over and over again. Machines and tools are reused.. not recreated over and over again. Databases are reused.. not recreated from scratch over and over again. Memory allocation can be wrapped into modules and commands (and reference counted types). Creating and freeing memory in production code is NeedlessRepetition and can cause bugs. Better instead wrap it into safe commands and modules. Garbage collection isn't always even needed if the stack is used or if the memory allocation is wrapped into a command that one can use over and over again, or if reference counting is used. Bad Influences Java has bastardized programming by obsessing over instances of this and instances of that, without any stack, nor VAR (by reference) or OUT params, and no simple reference counted types. The joke in Java is that one can do functional programming if he just creates more object instances.. which defeats the purpose of functional programming just being there. The other joke in Java is that one can do imperative programming if he just creates more object instances.. which defeats the purpose of imperative programming which is to have commands that are just there ready to use.

A $20 million lawsuit against the aviation company that Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein alleges was responsible for his near-death plane crash last September will not go to trial until next year, a judge ruled today.
During a case management conference, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mary H. Strobel scheduled the trial of Goldstein's case and those of two others related to the accident for next March 2 so that federal officials can have time to complete their investigation into the cause of the crash.
In his lawsuit filed Dec. 23, Goldstein alleges the pilots decided to "to abort and/or reject the take-off in a negligent manner" despite knowing that at least one tire had blown as the jet reached take-off speed.
The plane overshot the runway and exploded into flames last Sept. 8, costing two friends and two airplane staff their lives, the lawsuit alleges. Goldstein and former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker were the only survivors of the crash. Goldstein is suing the estates of the two late pilots, Sarah Lemmon and James Bland, along with Clay Lacy Aviation, Global Exec Aviation, Inter Travel Services Inc. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co, and Learjet.
Goldstein suffered severe burns. He wants payment for pain and suffering, lost earnings, property damage, past and future medical and health- related expenses, and punitive damages.
Barker, 33, and Thelma Still, the mother of the drummer's bodyguard, Charles Still -- who was killed in the crash -- filed a separate lawsuit, and a third case was brought by the widow and son of Barker's assistant, Chris Baker, who also died.
The two pilots also did not survive. All three cases have been assigned to Strobel. Attorneys in the case said today they are in favor of consolidating them for trial.

How to make free bitcoins guide : http://bit.ly/makefreebitcoins Hey guys few days ago i found this way how to make free bitcoins after a lot of searches and…
Litecoin Bitcoin Miner – Get over 1500kH/s mining Litecoin
Visit doxcade.com/store for more
This is a dedicated Crypto-Currency mining rig designed to run constantly and reliably for years.
This rig is not for gaming or word processing or internet browsing so if that is what you are looking for this will not meet your needs. If you would rather have a hybrid gaming/mining pc message me and I can put together something more suitable for both applications. This rig is built to order with all brand-new components.
Essentially you are buying a turnkey money minting business.
I am happy to answer any and all questions you may have about the rig or mining, now and after your purchase and setup. I will give buyers my personal email and offer free tech support. I highly recommend reading up on Crypto-Currencies, mining, and current exchange rates online. I believe in Crypto-Currency and it's staying power.
This is the future and YOU are getting in on the ground floor.
I have been building gaming computers for myself, friends, and family since the IBM 486 (well over 10 years). Rest assured I have the knowledge and skills to build the most efficient and powerful GPU mining rigs around.
I am already using the best equipment available for this specific application. You will be glad I did when you are still using this product years from now and it has paid for itself many times over. At the current difficulty and exchange rate, this unit could pay for itself in just over 2 months mining Litecoins! The difficulty and exchange rate are subject to change so this is not a guarantee, just a simple estimation. See table below for more information.
I designed these rigs using only the best hardware available. What many people don't realize is that Crypto-Currency mining is very hardware intensive. Many lower end retail PC products were not designed to be run 24/7 for months and years at a time. Power usage when Bitcoin mining is very high.
This rig will get over 1500 kH/s on LTC

To help make football a little safer, Intel officials last month proposed having players' helmets outfitted with microprocessors that would wirelessly alert doctors if the athletes suffered a hit hard enough to cause head injuries.
And why not? Besides being installed in everything from automatic teller machines and airport check-in kiosks to pacemakers and ocean monitoring sensors, microchips also are going into a staggering array of once decidedly low-tech items -- from grave-stone markers and running shoes to fish lures and writing pens.
The potential market is huge. Chip sales of all types generate about $300 billion a year in sales worldwide, with personal computers and smartphones accounting for a third to half of that, according to some experts. That means $150 billion to $200 billion in sales come from so-called embedded semiconductors, which go into pretty much anything a person can think of. And that segment is growing fast.
In the future, "where won't we find chips?" asked Jordan Selburn, principal analyst for consumer electronics at research firm iSuppli. "The answer is pretty close to nowhere."
Moreover, due to the sophistication of the chips being used, the difference between PCs and many formerly mundane products is quickly narrowing.
"The term 'embedded' used to refer to a low-level, limited-function semiconductor and nobody needed to pay attention to it," said Shane Rau, a chip expert at the market research firm IDC. "Now these devices are taking on more intelligence. They're becoming more programmable, they're getting faster and they're getting communications functions built into them."
Consider these examples:
The trend is easing life for everyone by enabling consumer gadgets to make decisions that once had to be made by people, said Lori Dolnick, a spokeswoman for the German company Miele, whose household appliances are outfitted with semiconductors as well as wireless features. As an example, she described what happens when a Miele washing machine detects a problem.
"It could be a misuse of detergent, a door left open or --- on the very rare side -- a part failure," she said. "These faults are sent to the wireless communication module called RemoteVision and that will alert Miele. Miele then calls or e-mails or texts the customer to offer a solution or a repair to their problem -- often before they even know it's a problem."
For a machine to do all that requires sophisticated chips, which is why Intel -- which is known for its brainy microprocessors -- believes it has a chance to grab a big share of the surging embedded market, said Ton Steenman, general manager of the Santa Clara company's embedded and communication's group.
Intel isn't wasting time looking for ways to take advantage of its technology. Among other ideas it has in works, it's conferring with farm-equipment manufacturers on the possibility of using its chips to make remotely controlled tractors that would let farmers till their fields, plant seeds, dispense fertilizer and harvest crops from their office desks.
"The possibilities," noted Steenman, "are pretty much endless."

From toilets
to tombstones
Already a key component in personal computers and smartphones, microchips are making their way into an ever-expanding array of other items, from fishing lures and running shoes to toilets and grave markers.
The market for these so-called embedded chips is estimated at $150 billion or more. But that's expected to grow as companies increasingly explore ways to make common household appliances and other products access the Internet, communicate with one another and perform new functions for consumers.

An embedded chip adjusts shoe's cushioning to the person's weight and running style.
echo dictation pen
Livescribe of Oakland sells a chip-powered ink pen equipped with a camera and audio recorder that's designed to help people remember precisely what was said when they review handwritten notes.
Pro-troll lures
A chip in fishing lures sets off an electrical pulse which "duplicates the electric nerve discharge of a wounded bait fish," prompting other fish to bite it.

A Quote by Ottorino Respighi on america, composers, fame, music, opera, and work
A review of his work: His music soon spread throughout Europe, and he was invited to America were he performed the Piano Concerto. He would have wished that he would be remembered as an opera composer, but it was to be his orchestral extravaganzas, mainly the trilogy of Roman pictures that has made his name famous.

Our town council is a powerful body. As such, they have the authority to appoint the various boards and committees that serve our town. Unfortunately, the appointment thing is not that easy. It is especially difficult if you want everyone to be happy.
The same is true for the appointee. It is not always an easy job. You can't just vote your own agenda every time a vote comes up. The job requires balance. The town's best interest is generally served by consensus building. Unfortunately that is where politics comes in. Sometimes the appointing authority is just not interested in building a consensus. They want what they want.
These complex relationships can be simplified by quality communication. The appointees and their appointing authorities should communicate to reduce confusion. The appointees should be respected and appreciated by those charged with making the appointments. The appointees are in office to use their brains. They should not be expected to ask permission before every vote.
The same is true for those doing the appointing. The appointees are generally volunteers. Once they are vetted and appointed, they should be pretty much left to their own designs. They give countless hours of service.
However, that doesn't make them anywhere near perfect. They need to understand how they got there and give a special listen when the councilors speak. Even if the communication is not directed to them, the appointees should be able to hear.
We went through a committee's mass resignation last year. From my perspective, that was the tail trying to wag the dog. The new appointees we got seem to be doing a fine job. We also learned how good communication can sustain relationships last year. Even in a highly charged political environment.
Now we seem to have a new high-profile appointment pending. It is difficult to determine what if anything has been communicated between the parties to date. Past appointment practice has revealed occasions of serious communications breakdown. There seems to have been little in the way of quality conversation thus far. That is not good. There is still hope as the process is not over yet.
The quality of our community is directly linked to the individuals that make up our government. We need capable leaders to make good appointments. Then we need both parties to get along.
Be it workshops or phone calls, we need our elected and appointed leaders to communicate and compromise. We need everyone working together.
Page 2 of 2 - As the appointment season wraps up and the new fiscal year gets under way, let's hope our leaders come together as a team. With communications and team spirit, we stand to get the best. Stay tuned to see if we will get the best appointees for our town this time around.

I added the following to functions.php:
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' ); // for posts only, not pages
set_post_thumbnail_size( 200, 200, true ); //200x200, hard-crop mode enabled
add_image_size( 'tiny-thumb', 75, 75, true ); //sidbar thumbs, 50x50, no hard-crop
And then I want to reference the "tiny-thumb" image in a loop located in sidebar.php, which I'm referencing like so:
Unfortunately, that outputs the following (actually, the image's largest dimension, height or width, is set to 75, and the other value is relative to keep the aspect ratio):
<img width="75" height="75" title="my-image-title" alt="" class="attachment-tiny-thumb wp-post-image" src="http://example.com/path-to-original-image">
The problem is that the original image is shown, not the new hard-cropped 75x75 thumbnail that I want. Yes, I have rebuilt all thumbnails using the "Regenerate Thumbnails" plugin, and I have manually uploaded new files after making these changes without any luck. Additionally, I can change the dimensions in functions.php's add_image_size() and the image's height and width will change, but it's still just the original image and is not being hard-cropped. What can I do?

His side have been irresistible since late October and have now gone 19 matches unbeaten in all competitions.
Going into Tuesday's game they had kept six consecutive clean sheets and have leaked only seven goals in 22 Bundesliga matches so far this season.
Asked if Arsenal had the quality to score three times in the Allianz Arena next month, Heynckes was diplomatic but spoke with the confidence of a man who has his side running like a well-oiled locomotive.
"Arsenal are a good team and we will be taking the second leg very seriously," said Heynckes, who will hand the baton to former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola next season.
"In this season it's very difficult against us. We have 22 games and conceded just seven and that's just amazing.
"You can see it's very difficult to score against us and my team is always in the position to score two or three goals so I do think we have chances to progress to the next round."
First half goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas Mueller and a late third from Mario Mandzukic after former Bayern player Lukas Podolski had briefly given the Gunners hope, underlined the German club's superiority.
Once they fell behind in the seventh minute Arsenal seemed fragile and Bayern never looked like squandering the chance to emulate Schalke who also won at the Emirates this season.
"We played against a team with a lot of class. They played much better than us in the first half," said Wenger, who is coming under increasing pressure as an eighth successive trophy-less season looms.
"They are a team with quality and are very efficient. They are a good side. Congratulations to Bayern.
"Let's not hide the truth, it will be very difficult but we'll try to make the impossible possible. We have to go there and play like we play at home and try to change the score.
"The third goal of course makes it very difficult but we have to try."
Such is the quality in the Bayern ranks that former Chelsea and Real Madrid winger Arjen Robben was only among the substitutes along with Mario Gomez.
Robben, who came on just past the hour, said Bayern's game plan had been to steal Arsenal's early thunder.
"Tonight we made a very big step towards the quarter finals but we need to stay focused on our own game," he said.
"We expected a very big start by Arsenal here at home with the fans behind them and we warned each other that we had to be there from the first minute because there will be a storm at the Emirates Stadium."
The storm failed to materialise though and, despite midfielder Jack Wilshere working overtime to try and spur his team-mates on, Arsenal were overwhelmed.
"We didn't start great and that's been a thing for us this season," Wilshere said
"In the second half we stepped it up and it's unfortunate we didn't do that in the first half. I'm not sure why, maybe it's a bit of nerves or anxiety because we show what we can do when we play. We will look at it and try to put it right."

Farrah Abraham is the Worst All Over Again
1/22/2014 1:00 PM PST, by Emily Trainham
There are many, many reasons why Farrah Abraham is the worst, but this new one is the worst worst. Like, it's actually sort of reprehensible, and you'll probably hate her at least a little for this. Because guys: she got a puppy.
Not only did she get a puppy, she bought a puppy. And we could get into how important rescuing animals are as opposed to purchasing them, but instead, let's just focus on why this is a horrible decision for Farrah personally. And that is because this girl is so unbelievably bad at being responsible. She just cannot do it. For some reason, she's still allowed to take care of her daughter, but no one's going to keep an eye on that poor dog. This puppy is going to end up like the last one, wandering around in diapers because Farrah is too sorry to teach it how to poop outside. And yes, that makes her a bad person.
Can you please stop giving us reasons to dislike you, Farrah? Pretty please?

A new draft standard for video has been agreed upon by delegates of the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) which will revolutionise video for the digital streaming age, since the new standard will halve the size of video files while maintaining the quality. The new standard was decided in order to make bandwidth and download requirements for digital video streaming more manageable.
The old standard for compressed high-definition video, H264, is technically called MPEG-4 Part 10. This will eventually be replaced by the new High Efficiency Video Coding H.265, otherwise known as MPEG-H Part 2.
Meeting organiser, Per Fröjdh, also a manager for visual technology at Ericsson Research says:
"There's a lot of industry interest in this because it means you can halve the bit rate and still achieve the same visual quality, or double the number of television channels with the same bandwidth."
The move is set to have an enormous impact on the industry as file sizes will be so much smaller. Video data downloads increase every day and are expected to reach up to 90% of total data usage by 2015. Mobile service providers are expected to take up the new format readily, while other services may follow a little more slowly.

One thing for certain, the Class A District Tournament at Central High will not be forgotten any time soon by those who witnessed it.
Needing two wins against Fletcher last Friday to claim the championship, the Bronchos did just that, including a come-from-behind extra-inning victory in the first game to force a second.
An eventful game Thursday in which a Fletcher player was ejected for making obscene gestures at opposing players and fans set the table for an entertaining Friday.
Central High will travel to Sterling today (Thursday) for regional action. The Bronchos will play host Sterling, the No. 1-ranked team in Class A, at 11 a.m. The second game will feature Oklahoma Christian Academy and Calumet at 1 p.m.
Fletcher 6, Central High 5
The Wildcats came back in the bottom of the seventh inning to win the first contest between the two teams, but it was not the most memorable event.
Fletcher had a runner on third with one out when the Wildcats' Chase McCullar hit an RBI groundout to second base to tie the game. McCullar was met by celebrating teammates walking back to the dugout where he made an obscene gesture towards both the Bronchos' dugout and fans, prompting his immediate ejection from the game.
McCullar then went to the stands, but then was told by officials to go to the team bus. He was then witnessed to have made another obscene gesture to fans behind the bleachers heading to the bus.
Down 2-0 early, Central High's Ashton Wright tied the game with a two-run homer in the third inning.
Two hard collisions at first base over the course of the next two innings prompted words to be exchanged between the two teams and warnings issued to both teams from the umpires.
Fletcher scored th.e next two runs of the game to reclaim the lead at 4-2 after four innings.
The Bronchos got one run back in the top of the fifth with an RBI by Joseph Flood, scoring Chance Mathesen.
CHS tied the game for the second time in the game in the top of the sixth on an RBI from Matthew Quisenberry that scored John Repp.
The Bronchos took the lead for the first time in the game in the top of the seventh with an RBI from Austen Dewitt.
Fletcher rebounded in their half of the inning, though. Following the ejection incident, the Wildcats pushed across another run to win the game.
Jarret Sparks had started the game on the mound for Central High, but was relieved by Wright with one out in the seventh. Sparks allowed eight hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Wright would get the loss.
Central High 8, Fletcher 7 (9)
The Bronchos had witnessed Fletcher rally late the day before to win the first game between the two teams, so CHS decided to return the favor in the first game on Friday.
Sparks was not ready for his high school career to come to an end. The senior pushed a single through the left side of the infield in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game and then followed it up with an RBI single to right field in the bottom of the ninth to win the game.
It appeared in the early going like Central High was going to be done in by the number two. Fletcher scored two runs in the first, two runs in the third, and two runs in the fourth. The two runs in the fourth came on a two-RBI single from Levi Nix, who wore No. 2 on his uniform. The hit came on a 1-2 pitch with two outs.
Allowing only one run instead of two in the top of the sixth though would help the Bronchos stay in the game.
Central High was up 3-2 after the first inning following an RBI single by Joseph Flood and a two-RBI single by Dewitt. Fletcher though would shut down the Bronchos the next couple of innings to allow the Wildcats to take the lead.
Nix's hit in the fourth put the Wildcats up 6-3 and put the Bronchos' season on the line.
John Repp cut the lead to 6-4 on a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fourth. Wright would score on an error in the bottom of the fifth to cut the lead to 6-5.
Down two runs in their last at-bat, the Bronchos found some magic.
Flood hit a blooper to left field that was pursued by both the shortstop and left fielder. The two had a hard collision in the outfield with neither able to immediately recover. The run-in allowed Flood to pickup an RBI and end up with a triple as the center fielder had to come over and retrieve the ball.
Sparks would tie the game two batters later.
Flood pitched into the ninth inning for Central High, but would get no decision in the contest. Matthew Quisenberry would pitch one inning of relief to get the win on the mound.
Shelby Moon, who was making his first appearance on the mound for Fletcher this season following "Tommy John" surgery the previous year, took the loss.
Central High 13, Fletcher 6
The final game of the tournament might have had less nail-biting-drama than the previous two games, but the result was worth celebrating.
The Bronchos found themselves down 5-1 early, but stormed back to outscore the Wildcats 12-1 the rest of the way to claim the district title.
Jarrett Sparks followed up his first game heroics with two two-RBI doubles and a sac fly to pick up five RBI in the contest.
Mikel Womack's two-RBI single in the top of the sixth gave the Bronchos a nice 12-5 cushion.
Joseph Flood and Austen Dewitt also picked up RBIs in the game.
Roger Robertson was the winning pitcher for Central High. He allowed three runs on two hits with three strikeouts and five walks in 4 1/3 innings of work.

Measure for Measure
by William Shakespeare
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the Riverside edition.
Quote #1
Nay, but I know 'tis so: I saw him arrested, saw
him carried away; and, which is more, within these
three days his head to be chopped off.
I am too sure of it; and it is for getting
Madam Julietta with child. (1.2.3)
In Vienna, sexuality and reproduction are regulated by the government. "Fornication" (sex outside marriage) is illegal, which is why Angelo has Claudio arrested and sentenced to death after Juliet turns up pregnant. The play asks us to consider whether or not sexuality should be legislated. What do you think?
Quote #2
From too much liberty, my Lucio, liberty:
As surfeit is the father of much fast,
So every scope by the immoderate use
Turns to restraint. Our natures do pursue,
Like rats that ravin down their proper bane,
A thirsty evil; and when we drink we die. (1.2.3)
Here, Claudio compares his sexual appetite to a kind of gluttony and suggests that having sex is like drinking rat poison – both lead to death. This is pretty disturbing, don't you think?
Quote #3
Thus, what with the war, what with the sweat, what
with the gallows and what with poverty, I am
custom-shrunk. (1.2.4)
We've seen how some of the main characters view sexuality as something sinful and corrupting. Yet, minor characters like Mistress Overdone don't view sex in quite the same way. For Mistress Overdone and others, sex is big business (when paying customers aren't in jail or victims of the bubonic plague, that is).

Product Description
Welcome to the mysterious 1920's. Whilst on a Nile cruise, the singer Lolita Posperita has mislaid a valuable pearl necklace, and she suspects four of her fellow passengers of being the culprit. Against a background of desert, pyramids, and other ancient Egyptian monuments, players must help track down the thief. But time is short! The investigators only have three days until the steamer docks in Cairo and all the passengers disembark.
The search for clues on board begins... Each player tries to uncover as many clues as possible, while at the same time leaving a trail of red herrings for the other investigators. The mystery is only solved at the last moment: did the thief work alone, or with accomplices? Or did the singer just misplace her necklace?

text: Home > Medical > Meds and you > News 13 December 2012 Automated design for drug discovery A system of 'automated design' for new drugs could help develop the complex therapies needed for many medical conditions while also improving drug safety and efficiency. 0 Test Using the wrong pills? » Quiz Addicted to pills? » Original vs generic medicine Brand-name vs generics A system of 'automated design' for new drugs could help develop the complex therapies needed for many medical conditions while also improving drug safety and efficiency, new research from the University of Dundee has shown. The 'Moneyball' approach taken by the research team utilises the principles of advanced statistical and data analysis which have seen to be increasingly influential in areas as varied as sport, finance and in forecasting the recent US Presidential election. As more complex drugs are needed to treat more complicated problems - particularly in areas such as neuroscience, infectious diseases and cancer - the task facing biologists and chemists is daunting. However, researchers at the College of Life Sciences at Dundee, in collaboration with partners in North America, have shown that an automated computational process analysing huge amounts of existing data could provide a valuable new tool in drug discovery. What the research shows The innovative approach taken by the research team mimics the creative process of human chemists, where drug molecules are steadily improved through successive cycles of design and selection. "One of the things that makes drug discovery so hard is that you're trying to improve several different properties at the same time," said Professor Andrew Hopkins, Chair of Medicinal Informatics at Dundee. "Evolution is a mechanism than can be applied to solving these kinds of optimisation problems, and the iterative process of adaption and selection of hundreds of thousand of possible solutions can be simulated in a computer. "We have effectively proved the concept of automated design of new compounds, showing that by using algorithms to process massive amounts of data we can tackle problems of huge complexity. The system solves the design problem by using computational evolution to mimic the design process of human chemists but running it on a very large scale." The research is published in the journal Nature. The research team's work is funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. Drugs have to be able to deliver their primary effects and not present adverse side effects or toxicity that render them unsafe. But for complex conditions drugs also have to be designed to hit multiple targets. Designing drugs to this kind of multi-target profile is a complex and exceedingly difficult task for medicinal chemistry. How the design works Professor Hopkins and colleagues developed an automated adaptive design approach that can mimic the creative, iterative process of medicinal chemists by using computational evolution of large numbers of compounds. They initially used it to look at an existing drug, Donepezil, which is used in treating Alzheimer's Disease. "Professor Sir James Black, the Nobel Laureate and former Chancellor of the University, proposed that 'the most fruitful basis for the discovery of a new drug is to start with an old drug' and we followed that advice," said Professor Hopkins. "We took the structure of Donepezil as a starting point and from there the system evolved its structure, computationally, over many generations to a variety of different profiles across a range of drug targets. The predicted profiles were then tested experimentally and we found that 75% of them were confirmed to be correct. "This proof of concept shows that we could make significant advances in discovering and designing complex drugs, which could lead to improvements in safety and efficacy, while also potentially reducing the cost of drug discovery, which is a high-risk and expensive process." Professor Hopkins said improvements in data capture and management were key to developing the research. "Just a few years ago this would not have been possible because we need the existing drug data to build on and it was not held in a way that it could be analysed like this. But there have been significant developments, aided by groups like ChEMBL in Cambridge, who are funded by The Wellcome Trust, in making drug design data available in a format computers can process. What we have found particularly exciting is the way the algorithm has been able to learn from the human experience of drug design and mimic it on a massive scale to solve complex design problems." This phenomenon is reflected in the name of a new spin out company which has been formed to commercialise the technology – ex scientia – which is the Latin for "from knowledge".

'Emotive music explains the terror of the people' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Liz Fisher-Frank
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on December 12, 2012
My guest this week turned to writing novels after long years as a children's rights lawyer representing teenagers in care. Her fiction debut, Losing Agir, was launched on Human Rights Day and is a teen thriller about a child in care and a refugee who unite to seek justice. Music helped her connect with the realities of her displaced characters' lives, especially experiences that most of us take for granted – such as a family Christmas. She is Liz Fisher-Frank and she's on the Red Blog talking about Losing Agir and its Undercover Soundtrack.

A Must Read - Share
Twitter's advertising efforts are analogous to Facebook's efforts. They are focused on in-stream ads, and also on leveraging naturally-occurring social activity on the site. This suggests something of an emerging consensus in social media advertising around the user stream as the ideal spot for ad placements and the focus of new ad products. As this consensus develops, Twitter is introducing new ad formats and capabilities that are helping marketers and brands reach audiences on Twitter in ways that were not previously possible.

By Michael A. Wood, FMWRCFebruary 18, 2010
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Army News Service, Feb. 17, 2010) -- Monday marks the start of the annual Military Saves Week, the culmination of a year-long Department of Defense financial readiness campaign.
The campaign was designed to encourage servicemembers and their families to establish positive fiscal management habits through savings and financial planning.
Military Saves is part of "America Saves," a national campaign involving more than 1,000 non-profit, government, and corporate groups encouraging individuals and families to build personal wealth.
Campaign strategies include encouraging servicemembers and their families to take "The Saver Pledge," a commitment to exercise good financial habits and motivate others to do the same. Savers who enroll online receive electronic newsletters and advice from an e-Wealth Coach.
The campaign also encourages DoD credit unions and military banks to aggressively promote automatic deposits to savings accounts that can help servicemembers and their families take better control of their finances and build emergency savings.
"Financial security directly impacts Army readiness and reduces stress for Soldiers and their families," said Charles Lowery, acting director of Military Saves.
"Soldiers need to know that their families will be prepared in case of a financial emergency while they are away on deployment," he said.
The Army's Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command, in conjunction with the Office of the Chief of Public Affairs, is coordinating the Army's response to Under Secretary of Defense Tommy T. Thomas's message by urging all departments to participate in Military Saves Week, including The Army Spouse Employment Partnership program.
"Our tax preparation companies are providing one-on-one counseling to Soldiers and their spouses on the importance of saving and investing and the tax consequences of doing so," said Dr. Lillie S. Cannon, ASEP program manager and accredited financial counselor.
If military personnel are enrolled in a savings program, they are eligible for the Saver's Credit which could net them up to $1,500, she said.
Commanders and senior enlisted leaders are encouraged to place an emphasis on the Military Saves campaign directly before and during Military Saves Week, campaign officials said. They also urged commanders to appoint a Military Saves representative at the installation or command level to engage local credit unions and banks to make savings training and programs available to Soldiers and to focus on publicizing them during Military Saves Week.
"Military Saves is a command initiative in which leadership can work to create a culture that encourages savings and financial readiness," said Lowery. "However, changing our financial culture is a formidable task and requires everyone to take personal responsibility for adopting a 'Military Saver' lifestyle."
Every commander and civilian director is encouraged to sponsor a Saver Drive during Military Saves Week, while continuing to promote financial readiness throughout the Military Saves campaign year, according to Lowery.

Post subject: Supermarket's own nappies
Hi there.
I read recently that a newborn can go through 12 nappies a day. This is my first pregnancy and it made me think of how expensive stocking up is going to be. I already have many packs of Pampers and Huggies ready for the little one's arrival but I noticed Asda'a own brand newborn nappies are £1.64 for 24 (same as Tesco, £1.99 for 24 at Boots).
Does anyone out there use supermarkets own nappies and would you say they are just as good as the other big brand nappies. Im just hoping to save an extra few pounds each week by getting some 'cheaper' ones.
Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2008 2:25 pm
Post subject:
hi i used to buy pampers or huggies wen my baby was born but as you say can get expnsive and its only just recenetley i got the tesco value nappies £1.48 for 20(a lot cheaper) and they work just fine now leaks no accidents with them. but my daughters 19 months now and dont have sensitive skin like a new born so i dont no wether they wud cause any problems for a new born.
Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2008 10:03 am
Post subject:
I have tried Tesco's super dry, used them for a couple of days, but they seemed thicker than Pampers and swelled a lot more when wet. I made sure I put plenty of Sudocrem on when I used them.
Not harm in trying them though, every baby is different. I would always use pampers at night, with the extra sleep layer. Definitely makes a difference to my son.
If you are buying pampers the boxes are much better value, Asda do them for about £10.00(and if you have vouchers, can be even cheaper). I think larger Tesco's do them as well for a similar price.
Good luck with it all.

i always use sainsburys own brand about 7 quid for 70. i brought some pampers on special last week and whem my lil un woke up i noticed he had a club foot. the bleedi nappie had come right off. thankfully he didn,t do a poo! i thourght maybe i hadn,t put it on right but this happened again several times and they leak straight through and we change his bum pretty regular.
boots and superdrug own brand are very good as well. but as someone said b4 asdas aren,t the best.
own brand baby wipes are excellent value too!

Q&A With Palo Alto Networks Founder Nir Zuk
By Arik Hesseldahl
On Friday, Palo Alto Networks debuted for trading on the Nasdaq national market. Having priced the previous evening at $42 a share, the shares finished their first day of trading at $53.13, amounting to a rise of 26.5 percent. The company raised $260 million.
Combined as it was with the Web travel concern Kayak, which debuted the same day and whose shares rose similarly, it was a good day for tech IPOs. Add to the pile last month's debut of ServiceNow, and this fall's pending bow by Workday, and it's hard not to conclude that the tech IPO market is getting its mojo back after the botched Facebook offering in May.
Unless you follow the business of firewalls — the computer gear that is designed to keep good data flowing on corporate networks and keep bad data out — you may have missed the rise of Palo Alto Networks. I was certainly curious, and so on Friday, AllThingsD arranged to have a conversation with founder and CTO Nir Zuk at the New York Stock Exchange. He started Palo Alto Networks during a stint as Entrepreneur in Residence at Greylock Partners.

Mitral Valve Prolapse: Benign Syndrome?
Not available
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Sharon Anderson explores Mitral Valve Prolapse, a syndrome that has puzzled many for decades, and sheds light on a disease that affects so many and is addressed too little. The symptoms of the disease are not dissimilar from those of other ailments: palpitations, fainting, fatigue, shortness of breath, migraine headaches, chest pain, episodes of extremely rapid or irregular heartbeat, dizziness and lightheadedness. This makes diagnosing this disease more challenging, but Anderson explains why this disease should not go unnoticed. In her comprehensive study, she reveals the facts about this disease in hopes of helping others prevent the complications associated with it.

By Sgt. 1st Class Howard ReedMay 20, 2013
OKINAWA, Japan - The Army simply defines resiliency as having the ability to "hunt for the good stuff" and bounce back from a significant emotional event to overcome a situation or crisis. It's something Spc. Mara E. Snowman, a euphonium player with the United States Army Japan Band, can relate to.
"I'm a very hard worker, hard on myself at times," said Snowman. "Overall I have high expectations for myself and think stress is ok but you never want to be distressed," explained Snowman.
It was day one of this year's United States Army of Japan, Warrior Competition Challenge on Okinawa and Snowman was feeling pretty good about her efforts in pursuit of becoming USARJ's Soldier of the Year. After scoring a 298 on the Army Physical Fitness test things look good for the Cleveland, Tenn. native.
As she prepared to board a bus for the warrior battle drills, event organizers delivered a message that would change her life forever. Snowman's grandmother, Jilbert Snowman, whom she considered her best friend, mentor and the family rock, passed away the night before.
"It was really hard, it really was a sudden moment for me and I decided to let it motivate me to do better. I knew what my grandmother wanted me to accomplish," said Snowman as she held back tears.
Snowman battled thoughts of the good times and special moments she shared with her grandmother to continue in the competition. On day three she would be tested again during the urban orienteering event. The event is similar to land navigation but requires participants to locate land navigation points in an urban area on Kadena Air Base.
Snowman found herself lost trying to locate a point which should have been a mile or two beyond the starting point. She ended up on the opposite side of Kadena's flight line which was more than double the distance of the point location.
"In addition to disappointing myself, I also felt that I was letting grandma down and needed to do better," said Snowman.
And it was that resiliency throughout the remaining warrior challenges that helped the Soldier overcome her personal hurdles and tough competition to be selected as USARJ's Soldier of the Year.
At the closing ceremonies Snowman said she decided to join the Army last year after graduating from Middle Tennessee State University with a bachelor's degree in music.
"Joining the military I knew I wanted to strive to be the best by working hard and training, but I could not imagine being here at this moment," said Snowman. "I knew I had to put my best foot forward and dedicate my efforts to achieve success for my grandmother."
Snowman explained she is honored to represent USARJ in the upcoming United States Army Pacific Warrior Challenge in June.
"I know it will be a hard challenge but I will give my best effort," said Snowman.
And if one thing for certain, Snowman will carry to the competition in Hawaii next month, is the memory of her late grandmother.
"One thing I learned from her and it has stayed with me since childhood. My grandmother would tell us to laugh at yourself, keep a warm smile on your face and always have a positive attitude. I know she's watching me from heaven," said Snowman.

Gatebe, CK, King, MD, Tsay, SC, Ji, Q, Arnold, GT, Li, JY (2001). Sensitivity of off-nadir zenith angles to correlation between visible and near-infrared reflectance for use in remote sensing of aerosol over land. IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING, 39(4), 805-819.
AbstractCloud absorption radiometer (CAR) multispectral and multiangular data, collected during the Smoke, Clouds, and Radiation-Brazil (SCAR-B) Experiment, was used to examine the ratio technique, the official method for remote sensing of aerosols over land from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, for view angles from nadir to 65 degrees off-nadir. The strategy we used is to first select a pristine, low aerosol optical thickness flight, and we then computed ratios of reflectance at 0.47 and 0.68 mum to corresponding values at 2.20 mum, separately for backward and forward scattering directions. Similarly, we analyzed data from high turbidity flights for comparison purposes. For both flights, we removed the effects of atmospheric absorption and scattering using 6S, a radiative transfer code, and then recomputed the ratios again for different values of aerosol optical thickness. Finally, we analyzed bidirectional reflection function (BRF) data to examine the dependence of the ratio technique on the relative azimuth angle. Results of this analysis show that a relationship between visible reflectance and near infrared (TR) reflectance exists for view angles from nadir to 400 off-nadir, and that simple parametric relationships can be derived. In spite of these observed relationships, the relationship R-0.47 = R-2.20/4, used in remote sensing of aerosol over land, does not seem to hold for the cases tested, both in the forward and backward scattering directions and that R-0.68 = R-2.20 /2 seems to hold for view angles from nadir to 45 degrees off-nadir but only in the backward scattering direction. These ratios show little variation with azimuth view angle and this seems to hold well for backward scattering directions over dark targets.

California agriculture is a clear free trade winner
What is in this article?:
- In 2010, the value of California farm exports to South Korea was more than $400 million. Given the size of South Korea's economy and the high trade barriers being erased, the accord may do more for farm exports than agreements negotiated for almost 20 years.
Among other findings, the authors report that:
- The top California agricultural exports to South Korea are fresh oranges, with tree nuts, rice, and beef and beef products also in the top five.
- Other California crops that hold a double-digit share of the South Korean market are hay, grape juice and kiwifruit.
- With an import tariff of about 45 percent, South Korean imports of California table grapes, fresh strawberries, fresh apples and lettuce and rice are small, but have great potential for growth.
- South Korea is becoming a major export market for California grapefruit and lemons. Lower tariffs will increase demand.
- The United States is South Koreas only supplier for almonds and the U.S. has more than a 90 percent share of walnuts. The current 8 percent almond tariff will be eliminated and walnut tariffs will be phased out over the next 6 to 15 years.
- Beef products are the top agricultural import (from all sources) into South Korea by value. With the new agreement, the within-quota tariff will fall by 2.7 percent each year, providing a gain for U.S. producers compared to import competitors.
- South Korea has high trade barriers for many dairy products, but with gradual reductions under the new agreement, the market will grow.
