Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. Its prevalence approaches 10% in hyperendemic areas, such as southeast Asia, China, and Africa. Although chronic HBV infection is seen less frequently in North America and Europe, an estimated 1.25 million persons in the United States are infected. In the past decade, revolutionary strides have been made toward the treatment of chronic HBV infection. Interferon-α was once the only available therapy but has recently been joined by the nucleoside analogues, the most extensively studied of which is lamivudine. Interferon therapy continues to have a role in the treatment of a carefully selected group of patients. Lamivudine therapy, which has less stringent selection criteria, suppresses HBV DNA in almost all treated patients: Seventeen percent to 33% experience loss of hepatitis B e antigen, and 53% to 56% have a histologic response. Extended lamivudine treatment leads to the development of a specific lamivudine-resistant virus with base-pair substitutions at the YMDD locus of the DNA polymerase. Newer nucleoside analogues and other immunomodulator therapies are being investigated. In the future, combination therapy with different classes of agents may yield improved response rates and delay the development of resistance.
The viral genome is partially double stranded. Four overlapping reading frames (surface [ ], core [ ], polymerase [ ], and the x gene [ ]) encode for the viral proteins. Three upstream regions (preC, preS1, and preS2) are also shown. The size of each segment is shown in parentheses. aa = amino acids. Adapted with permission from reference .
After HBV endocytosis into hepatocytes, the genome is translocated to the nucleus and converted to covalently closed circular DNA ( ), which is transcribed and translated to form an RNA intermediate. Translocation of pregenomic RNA can be inhibited by interferon-α, and reverse transcription of the pregenomic RNA by polymerase to HBV DNA can be inhibited by nucleoside analogues. Association of the partially double-stranded DNA with envelope proteins leads to the formation of mature HBV particles that are then released from the hepatocyte. mRNA = messenger RNA. Adapted with permission from Glaxo-Wellcome Pharmaceuticals.
Sustained response. A "flare" of alanine aminotransferase ( ) activity is associated with the loss of hepatitis B e antigen ( ). Transient response. Serum levels of ALT ( ) and HBV DNA ( ) return to pretreatment levels after interferon therapy is discontinued. Hepatitis B e antigen remains positive (+). Anti-HBe = hepatitis B e antibody. Adapted with permission from reference .
ALT = alanine aminotransferase; HBeAg = hepatitis B e antigen; HBsAg = hepatitis B surface antigen.

But, together, we would ride the range each week across a movie screen—tall and strong and always winners. Our great cowboy heroes, however, like our daydreams, all went "thataway." This play picks up the story of one of those heroes, living precariously in a California rooming house.

5,000 Tweets; 8,000 Emails
Credit Union National Association's (CUNA) #DontTaxTuesday social media push on Sept. 10 was a big success, resulting in more than 5,000 tweets, 600 Facebook posts, 69,000 www.DontTaxMyCreditUnion.org page views, and 8,000 emails to lawmakers.
This social media initiative bumped the total number of hits to the www.DontTaxMyCreditUnion.org site to more than 1 million views since being launched in May, helped the campaign generate a total of 850,000 messages to Congress, and touched more than 3 million total social media users on Facebook and Twitter.
"This campaign was more successful than we could have anticipated," CUNA President and CEO Bill Cheney said. "The level of engagement we saw on Don't Tax Tuesday is a testament to the power of social media and to the dedication of credit union members, who value their credit unions so much that they actually want to stand together and advocate for protecting that value with lawmaker."
#DontTaxTuesday is the latest social media advocacy wave targeted at Capitol Hill to deliver the message "Don't Tax My Credit Union", that potentially exposed more than 1 million Twitter users to the campaign in a single day.
"We made so much noise that #DontTaxMyCU was at one point trending in the Midwest– that is, our campaign was among the most-tweeted topics on Twitter," Cheney said. "Coalition partners, think tanks, and others, including the Competitive Enterprise Institute and R Street, got into the act with tweets of their own."

Tax Reform Targets Executive Pay, But May Raise Salaries
The Tax Reform Act of 2014, proposed by House Ways and Means Committee Chairman David (Dave) Camp in February, could have some unintended consequences, including less incentive for companies to link pay with performance, compensation experts told Risk & Compliance Journal.
Current law caps a company's tax deduction for executive pay at $1 million, unless pay is linked to performance, and taxes executive pay only when actually received. The reform proposal would eliminate the tax incentive to link pay above the $1 million level to performance, and would tax executives when compensation vests instead of when it is paid. It would also expand the number of executives subject to these strictures.
"There's a lot of nuance in structuring compensation, especially at public companies, to align it with performance, said George Paulin, chairman and chief executive of executive compensation consultancy Frederic W. Cook & Co. Under the Camp proposals "we will have fewer levers to pull to make that happen," he said.
Andrew Liazos, head of the executive compensation practice at international law firm McDermott Will & Emery, said, "When you stop and think about what is going on, they are turning decades of tax practice on its head. Executives can be taxed prior to being paid and amounts above $1 million can't be deducted even if they cover services over several years.'"
The tax deduction for performance-linked pay has put wind in the sails of the pay-for-performance movement, but no one who spoke with Risk & Compliance Journal expects companies to abandon the linkage altogether should the proposals become law.

Adam Kind, "Castle Doctrine" Killer of Bo Morrison Says "F*cken N*gger" In Finally Released 911 Call
The date was March 3, 2012 in the wee hours of the morning. The town was Slinger, a small town, almost all Caucasian. A group of people gathered to have drinks and share stories, celebrating the life of a friend they had recently lost. In that group was Bo Morrison, 20 years old. Bo was well liked by many, he had high hopes for the world. Bo believed, as I have heard so many times from people who were close to him, that he could help change the world, that everyone could. He has been said to have been in the process of joining the Marines and he was a college graduate in Carpentry. He was a soft, gentle man, a cuddler as many of his friends have said and as is evident looking through his Facebook profile. Bo was under 21 and when the police came to break up the party, hid on the neighbor's porch.
The media seems to highlight the fact that he was drinking underage and hiding from police. But this all becomes irrelevant quick as the story continues. The truly relevant portions are enough to sicken even the tamest of souls. Adam Kind, the neighbor had previously gone to confront the party goers. He banged on their window and yelled to turn the music down. He left his doors unlocked for this. Another fact that the media seems to ignore is that he is reported to have told the people in the car "You're gonna pay" or something to that effect. He went back home and later in the night was called by police. They stated there was a party but that all should be good and it had been broken up. The police remained right across the street as, in less than five minutes, he went to bed, talked to his wife, got his gun from a case in the closet, loaded it, checked the front, checked the kitchen, went into the porch, confronted Bo Morrison, and shot him dead.
The timeline alone doesn't make sense and I am in the middle of compiling a story with even more inconsistencies. Despite all of this, the highly partisan and clearly incompetent Washington County DA continues to stall justice and insist that this was self defense and "Castle Doctrine" despite the fact that Bo was not armed and self defense REQUIRES equal or lesser force. He continues to spit on the family and name of transparency, refusing to release tapes from the officer's car (who called Adam Kind from his car before the killing) and until almost two months later, refused to release the unedited 911 call. Finally the call was released. But what was hidden speaks volumes as to the extent the DA is willing to go to sweep this case under the rug.
Originally, the call was edited and today one of the portions edited out is released. In this portion (of which I have tweaked the audio so you can hear better), you can clearly hear Adam Kind call Bo Morrison both a "Stupid F*cken Kid" and later, a new developement, "F*cken N*gger". This new development shows clearly and without a doubt why the Washington County DA can no longer handle this case and why this needs to see a jury. The justification behind not trying Adam Kind is spotty at best. With these new developments it is clear that race may have had more to do with it than anything. In the State of Wisconsin we cannot take a persons life or liberty without a trial, and even then we can only take their liberty not life. But Bo Morrison lost his life and his liberty. Without a crime. Without a charge, warrant, or trial. His killer, Adam Kind, still runs free. Please share this and demand justice for Bo Morrison.

Thank you Jeremy, for your support, your honesty and for not giving up on a friend who was a beautiful person, who deserves a fair trial and whose life was taken to soon. RIP Bo I love and miss you, see you again soon you "beautifully handsome" you❤

Thank you for this. I shared it on my Facebook wall with the following comment:
Wisconsin friends, this is another Trayvon Martin case, right in our backyard. Racism and and out of control gun culture have long been a volatile combination in this country, but when dangerous and irresponsible legislation is added to the mix, incidents like this become inevitable. Being 20 and trying to avoid an underage drinking ticket is not a capitol offense. Adam Kind needs to be charged with murder.

I applaud you; very well written. I wrote this last week. I think you'll enjoy it. Please let me know if and when there is another rally. I will be there. I want to get involved and help all I can to abolish this Castle Doctrin, "License to Kill," redneck law. Joe
Maher, I have to respectfully and wholeheartedly disagree. Did you know that the cops were in two places surrounding the Hess house at 1:5O AM? Bo Morrison was shot at 1:58 AM.
Adam Kind, 35 set this kid Bo Morrison up and quite simply got away with cold bloody murder, March 3rd., 2012.
Here is what went down – the truth in essay form. Adam Kind baited Bo Morrison, or any such intruder coming from the party, albeit the cops who were the stimulus, scaring the kids to scramble and run for it, wildly in all directions. They, the cops were in two places; out front of the Hess house and in a perpendicular direction of the house, precisely at the time of the murder, as the District Attorney's report indicates. Adam Kind deliberately left the back porch door open, as he held his Colt-45 hand held tight, loaded with six sure fire rounds; he sat warm trigger happy, like a buck in heat to fornicate, and there just was no stopping him. He sat there waiting for this kid Bo Morrison to crouch down, then as what he claims to the DA in the report, "Who is it?" Then, {obviously knew he was one of the kids from the party} and shot him right through the heart, cold stone dead. Adam Kind {the NRA redneck he is} told his wife to call 911, as he the savage beast of an animal he is, gave NO resuscitation whatsoever, and also showing NO remorse whatsoever. The aforementioned should give some credence in at least the suspicion of finding Adam Kind guilty of First Degree Reckless Negligent homicide. However, the "Castle Doctrine" is now Wisconsin's License to Kill. Our good Governor of the State of Wisconsin Scott Walker signed this bill that let Adam Kind get away with murder, and there is absolutely no rationale here to think he was protecting his Castle in harm's way.
A license for an NRA Redneck to kill at his Castle….
Jeremy I hold you in high regard for standing up against the attrocities that African-American people have endured for almost 500 years. I live in Los Angeles and I only heard about this incident because of soliders like yourself. How can I be of any service towards our cause?

It is the best variant of Risk so far.
Risk 2210 was excellent but it was a little complicated.
Godstorm is superb. Components are excellent and the game tactics the best so far. The surprises that this game carries are out of this world. The important thing is that there is no loss of strategy because of the excellent tactics. Actually, this Risk has the most strategy of all the other variants. Luck plays a role because of the dice that they are present in all Risk games, but the rest of the new rules and tactics are very well tuned and allow for many different strategies. If you want to win you have to wait to unleash the wrath of gods at the right time and adjust your strategy as you go. Focusing in one god alone will not take you very far.
If you are a strategy fan, go buy this game. It is excellent, not complicated, easy to learn but difficult to master, and it takes about 60 - 70 min (the problem is that you want to play one more game again and again).
The game ends after 5 turns, but in some of our games we go for 7 turns. 5 turns sometimes does not allow the true winner to shine. Some strategies pay off in the 6th turn.
Go buy this game !!!
I got Godstorm 2 years ago on my 13th birthday. At first I thought it was stupid, but when I actually learned how to play it became pretty fun. The game is hard to pick up, but once you learn, it is pretty easy to remember.The worst aspect of the game is the time consumption. A game with 5 people took about 5 and a half hours. This is because players can make their turn as long as they want to, and the underworld takes up time as well. Its a fun game that I wouldn't recommend to anyone under 12 or 13, its that complicated. But you get hooked on it after 1 game. My friends loved it, and they couldn't be more differant, so EVERYONE can get into Risk Godstorm. It is expensive, but well worth it.
When me and my friends first got our hands onto this game the excietement in the room was insane. But as the game progressed we noticed certain quirks in the game that hampered gameplay.
One of the things we noticed was the vague directions placed on cards. Unlike 2210 where directions are explicit and easy to follow, Godstorm had some directions that we as a group had to decipher on our own. Some of the cards hurt everyone on the board. Other cards apparently gave you cards of other Gods, even if you did not posses those specific gods on the board. All in all the cards can be pretty confusing.
Another shortcoming is the very small size of the underworld. The spaces are so small that players will often get confused as to what space their men stand. But since the crypts and altars don't count that much it never is too much of a concern for our group.
Although the cards aren't perfect they are very cool. Unlike Lord of the rings risk where cards almost always never play into your hands, help your opponent, and otherwise do not add to your strategic plan; Godstorm's cards are far more helpful when configuring your gameplan. Now the cards are not as good as Risk 2210 cards (which are the epidemy of helping someone create the perfect strategy to crush his enemies) they do add a wonderful flavor to the game that I think many will appreciate.
The board, while it is a little small, is better than Lord of the Rings Risk and is very unique. Mountain ranges create nice borders between continents. The plague markers are a very intrecal part of the board as well. Much like devistation markers in 2210, a person can attack through them he just has to lose half of all his invading men. I like that. Adds a new twist to an old favorite.
All in all the game does have some flaws but on the other hand the game does have that ability to give the player a good time of global domination. Just the way any Risk game is supposed to be.

Hello everyone,
I posted a question about how to have the title of the posts display over the images in the circle on the homepage. Andrew Nevins was kind enough to help me with a solution so I thought I would share it here in case other people have the same issue.
I still have to play around with it to see if I can get it to only display on hover but I am very happy to finally have something that's working to show the title!
Here's the link to the previous post.
If anyone has any other suggestions feel free to add them here!

If you change the theme, you will lose any icons in OO, the only solution I
could find was to choose the theme I like and then select the human icons.
I found this very odd, when I first installed Ubuntu not having icons in OO
stopped me installing it instead of SuSe, what I had done was to change the
theme straight away, I am not a fan of brown themes. When I bought a Dell
laptop, the first thing I did was to look to see if OO had icons it did,
but lost them when I changed the theme.
I have not looked to see if this is the case with all icon selections.

SUMMIT -- A 32-year-old Saratoga man who had been missing for more than three weeks was found dead Saturday near Mount Bache in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Eric Dean Garcia was last seen at a party in San Jose the night of Sept. 18, according to San Jose police. Garcia said he would be right back, then left on his black, Harley Davidson motorcycle.
He was reported missing to San Jose police Sept. 20.
About 5 p.m. Saturday, a hiker in the Mount Bache area found Garcia's body, said Santa Cruz County Sheriff's deputy April Skalland.
Skalland declined to describe exactly where he was in relation to a road or trail. Garcia was identified by his fingerprints, authorities said.
An autopsy Monday determined that Garcia was the victim of a homicide. Authorities have not released further details about his cause of death or the potential motive in his killing.
"We're in the early stages right now, really just starting the investigation," Skalland said. "We just notified the family" Tuesday.
Family and friends of Garcia described him as a "loving, awesome person" on a Facebook page that sought information in his missing person case.
His nickname was Pee-Ka, and he lived at his brother's home in Saratoga on weekdays and often went to Turlock on the weekends.
The night of Sept. 18, Garcia was at a party near Vine and Goodyear streets when he left about 11:45 p.m. He was last seen talking on the phone. He was wearing a white T-shirt, a black leather vest and Levi's jeans.
Garcia rode a 1985 Harley Davidson FLT with a license plate 18W5272. The motorcycle remains missing, and Santa Cruz County sheriff's investigators said they want to find it.
The Sheriff's Office is leading investigation in Garcia's homicide.
"We're hoping that anyone who has any type of information will come forward, even to find that motorcycle," Skalland said.
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office asks anyone with information to call the investigations division at 831-454-2311 or the anonymous tip line at 831-454-5995

Ringworm is a fungal infection that is easily transmissible from animal to animal (or human) either by direct contact, contact from human to animal, or contact with infected surfaces. There are multiple treatment options for ringworm which you should discuss with your veterinarian.
Ideally, the infected animal should be shaved down to reduce the amount of surface area the spores can attach to and thus transmit the disease to others. All hard surfaces, including floors, baseboards, heating registers and auto interiors should be cleaned thoroughly with disinfectant cleaner, then wiped down with a 1:10 bleach solution.
This is also true for cages, litter pans, carriers, food and water dishes. All bedding, sheets, fabric surfaces should be washed in hot water with detergent and a 1:32 bleach solution. Color safe bleach may also be used. Carpets, furniture and drapes should be vacuumed and steam cleaned frequently throughout the course of the treatment. Forced air furnace filters should be changed weekly since the spores are taken in through the intake vent and can escape through the outflow vents leading to continued re-infection.

Don'tcha know that you have to submit autobiographies with each and every piece? And that your art has to be full of rainbow puke and colorful kittens in order to count as art?
But seriously, ignore that guy.
I would love to see whatever project this is concept art for! Looks like Morrowind meets StarWars in a very awesome way :D
Thanks OfBeauties! This is a piece for a fantasy setting I'm developing called Skies of Alestria. I will be posting new work about the setting in the near future. =) so glad you like it.

Here's an outfit I created for the belgian webshop the 3suisses some months ago. Hopefully, this outfit was the winner of the contest launched with several bloggers. I was really happy that people voted for this outfit cause I think it totally matches my personnality.
I'm not a skirt-dresses-kind-of-a-girl. I love feeling masculine and looking independant when I dress and that look is it! Thanks to 3 Suisses for that great event!

Russians Vote on Ruble Symbol
MOSCOW—Russians are voting on a symbol for their national currency in a move the central bank hopes will help the ruble emulate the world-renowned symbols for currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the British pound.
After looking at more than 1,000 options, the Bank of Russia has placed its top five picks on its website, giving Russians until Dec. 5 to vote for their favorite one. Voters are given a small box to explain their choice.
The first two are variants on the Russian letter R, which in Cyrillic looks like the letter P. The other three try to simultaneous show the Cyrillic and Latin letters for Ru.
Russian authorities are trying to establish Moscow as a global financial center and want to boost the ruble's image as a currency for international trade and a potential reserve currency. That won't be possible until 2015, when the central bank plans to fully float the ruble.

Final talk in series focuses on funerals, estates and what to do with all that stuff.
RANDOLPH – Over the past several months at Gifford Medical Center, community members have gathered for an educational series on death and dying, loss and love. First, they started the conversation, talked about "a good death" and then found the beauty of love in loss with "Grief: The Price We Pay for Love."
Now, the series concludes with a practical discussion about funerals, settling estates and what to do with all that stuff an individual accumulates over a lifetime.
"Afterwards: The Business Side of Death" will be held in the Randolph hospital's Conference Center on May 16 from 5-6:30 p.m. The event includes presentations by funeral director Randy Garner and attorney Steve Webster, both of Randolph.
Garner will share what happens after someone dies and the choices available to families. "There a lot of options possible in Vermont that are not available in other places," notes Cory Gould, a Gifford mental health provider and the organizer of this end-of-life series.
Webster will discuss settling a person's estate, and Gould will pose questions for discussion on dealing with checking and other accounts, post office boxes, rental agreements, heating oil contracts and more. The talk, says Gould, will attempt to answer the question "Now what do I do?" "It's really focusing on the practical, the pragmatic matters, after someone dies," she says.
Attendance at previous discussions is not required to attend this latest talk. No registration is required, and it is free. Gould can be reached at (802) 728-7100, ext. 7, to answer any questions.
The talk will be held in the Gifford Conference Center. The Conference Center is on the first floor of the hospital and marked with a green awning from the patient parking area. For handicapped access, take the elevator from the main lobby to the first floor. For directions to the medical center and more, visit www.giffordmed.org.
Gifford also offers a Grief Support Group on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month from 4-5 p.m. in The Family Center beside Gifford Ob/Gyn and Midwifery.

Wait, Wait, Your Honor
The tables will turn on Justice Stephen Breyer next month, when instead of posing obscure questions at Supreme Court arguments, he'll be answering them — with no clerks to help on research.
In an apparent first, Breyer will appear on a quiz show, as the celebrity guest on the March 17 installment of Wait, Wait… Don't Tell Me!, a weekly National Public Radio program featuring a panel of wits wisecracking about the week's news.
The program has become a guilty pleasure not only for NPR's listeners but also for subjects of the network's news coverage, who show up to answer questions in the Not My Job segment. White House Press Secretary Tony Snow is slated to appear on the March 3 program, while previous contenders have included Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.), who faced questions on ATM machines and topless dancers; author Salman Rushdie, quizzed on Pez dispensers, and Sen. Barack Obama (D., Ill.), tested on baseball slugger Wade Boggs's superstitions.
The Supreme Court appearance springs from something that could be called Six Degrees of Stephen Breyer. The Chicago-based radio program occasionally broadcasts from other cities, and at a Feb. 9 taping in San Francisco the celebrity guest was singer Linda Ronstadt. She brought along friends Sydney Goldstein and her husband, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, younger brother of Justice Breyer and a big Wait, Wait fan. According to the show's host, Peter Sagal, the younger Breyer suggested his brother as a suitable guest.
The elder Breyer, it turns out, is a lifelong radio fan who grew up listening to old-timey quiz programs, a Supreme Court official confides. Wait, Wait reminds him of some of his favorites from the 1940s and '50s, the official said, including What's My Line? with Bennett Cerf and Dorothy Kilgallen, It Pays to Be Ignorant and, of course, Kay Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge" with Ish Kabibble.
"We're very excited to have our first sitting Supreme Court associate justice on the show, Sagal said. Not only are we interested in the usual topics — what he wears under the robes, how the justices decide what to order for lunch — but it's only just that he find out what it's like to be peppered with loaded questions he really can't answer." –Jess Bravin

Sports Direct bonus scheme backed (From Congleton Guardian)
Sports Direct bonus scheme backed
12:43pm Wednesday 2nd July 2014 in © Press Association 2014
A controversial bonus scheme for Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley has got the green light, despite a large protest vote from shareholders.
The plan, which has the potential to grant 25 million shares worth around £180 million to 3,000 employees including Mr Ashley, came under fire from investor lobby groups as well as the Institute of Directors.
J ust over 60% of the shareholders eligible to vote backed the plan, ending a two-year bid by the company to secure a scheme for its deputy chairman.
In April, the company pulled a proposal that could have awarded Mr Ashley more than £70 million based on targets for this year and 2015. The business initially tried to hand Mr Ashley a bonus in September 2012, but again failed to win enough investor support.
Mr Ashley, who is owner of Newcastle Football Club, has not received a salary or bonus since the retailer floated in 2007, although he netted £929 million in the flotation and has since banked h undreds of millions of pounds selling shares in the business. He owns 58% but was not able to vote today.
Shareholder lobby groups criticised the latest proposals, particularly as the allocation of shares to Mr Ashley has not been disclosed.
The Local Authority Pension Fund Forum said that it was inappropriate to establish an incentive plan with a single board member in mind.
Forum chairman Kieran Quinn said: "This arrangement creates a bias in favour of Mr Ashley as well as the impression that he is creating the scheme for himself.
"The company states that it has performed very well over the year, so Mr Ashley should be adequately compensated through dividends on his shares in the company."
He added that it would be preferable to establish a salary for Mr Ashley on which his contribution to a bonus pool could be based, rather than creating an arrangement for him that is different from that of the other board members.
To achieve the payout the firm's earnings will have to hit £480 million at the end of the 2016 financial year and rise to £750 million by 2019. Last year the business posted annual underlying earnings of £287.9 million.
Part of Sports Direct's recent success has been put down to the company's employee bonus scheme, which last summer rewarded some 2,000 staff with shares worth around £68,000.
The 2011 staff scheme is also on track to reward more than 3,000 staff having already surpassed two of the four earnings targets.
Sports Direct has around 400 UK stores and operations in 19 countries in Europe. It also owns brands including Dunlop, Karrimor and Slazenger.
Mr Ashley's allocation of the bonus scheme will be decided by the firm's remuneration committee.
Sports Direct chairman Keith Hellawell said the company's employee bonus share scheme was one of the most successful employee reward schemes in the UK.
He added: "The success of the scheme is demonstrated by the substantial shareholder value created over the last five years.
Mr Hellawell said the vote will ensure that the group continues to "retain and motivate its hard-working employees".
He added: "The resolution today also recognises the substantial contribution made by Mike Ashley over many years and, as demonstrated by the previous schemes, has the potential to create a further significant increase in shareholder value."

Converse's 'Of Time and Partisan Stability' presents one of the most elegant theories in political science. Analysing the surveys collected in Almond and Verba's five-nation study, Converse explains the micro-level processes that can contribute to partisan stability among mass electorates. If, as Campbell, Converse, Miller and Stokes argue, partisan loyalties contribute to electoral stability, Converse's theory has important implications, not only for electoral behaviour, but for democratic political stability as well.

Trichloroacetic acid is a skin peeling agent. Though it was proven to be very effective in fading and removing tattoos, people are still concerned about what TCA can and whether it is effective or not. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about using chemical peels for tattoo removal.
It can be used on any part but not on tattoos that are near or around the eyes, ears, nose and lips. It can be used on the face as well but it should be kept at a minimum since excessive application may lead to higher toxicity in the face.
It is recommended to be applied just once every 4 to 6 weeks. Frequent application may lead to excessive peeling. After application, you still have to wait 2 days to 2 weeks for it to peel. You have to wait for the peeling to subside before you apply the solution again.
Peeling effects are visible after 2 to 3 applications. The fading effect would is most profound with colored tattoos. The first to be removed is the tattoo borders. Depending on the size of the tattoo to be removed, the tattoo can completely fade or be removed in 3 to 6 treatments.
Trichloroacetic acid solutions are available over the counter in pharmacies as well as through online merchants. A bottle usually retails at around $40 to $60 and cheap when compared to the price of costly laser treatments.

Where did all my symptoms go?
So I'm really really pregnant. Baby is in the right spot, measuring the right size and has a heartbeat that we saw. I go back Aug 29th to hear the heartbeat, hopefully. Every twinge and ache I over analyze. I stare at the toilet paper looking for blood. It's been a whole lot of fun. However, I've had morning sickness. Like, bad. The doc put me on Zofran on Friday. I've had it for five days. Today is Wednesday, I wake up...and ..it's gone? Usually I can't wait to gobble that pill down and I even ate breakfast and I don't feel anything. Has me extremely worried.

This theatrical US metal band was formed in 1985 in the Lower East Side of New York City, and were named after the 1932 horror film starring Bela Lugosi. Led by Rob Straker aka Rob Zombie (Robert Bartlehe Cummings, 12 January 1965, Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA) and female bass player Sean Yseult (b. Shauna Reynolds, 6 June 1964, North Carolina, USA), with drummer Ivan de Prume (b. Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA) and guitarist Tom 5 (b. Tom Guay, USA), White Zombie released several EPs and an album of noisy metal on their Silent Explosion label while they played chaotic shows around local clubs to increasing acclaim from the underground press. John Ricci replaced Guay on guitar for 1989s Make Them Die Slowly, and the bands more focused approach helped rid them of the art-noise label that had been placed upon their earlier albums. However, Bill Laswells production still failed to capture the bands raw onstage power.

Suspected swine flu cases rising in NC
Published: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 4:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 4:08 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The number of suspected swine flu cases in North Carolina is rising, including two sick travelers who have been hospitalized, as officials gathered medications and respirators to prepare for an outbreak, the state's health director said Tuesday.
Dr. Jeffrey Engel said there are still a "pretty low" number of suspected cases in the state but he expected numbers to continue climbing. Investigators hoped to determine later in the day whether any patients should be considered "probable" swine flu cases, and they expect to have any confirmations by Wednesday.
"We're behaving as if the disease is here," said Engel, noting that the state expects to soon receive an allotment of anti-viral medications and respirators that could help combat the spread.
Engel said two people traveling by plane through Charlotte have been hospitalized. He said one of them was a person arriving from Mexico did not feel well and was sent to the hospital.
"We are isolating that patient and will not allow that patient to continue to travel," Engel said, noting that the person was not a North Carolina resident but was being held in the state. He said the second traveler who sought medical attention was soon to go to the airport to return home in Texas.
Health officials have declined to say where the other suspected cases are or to say how many, although the Chatham County Public Health Department said in a news release that the state was investigating 15 total cases. Engel said he would wait until confirmations come in.
"The rule-ins and the rule-outs come and go," he said.
Engel said health officials do not feel it is necessary to quarantine patients and everyone who has had contact with them. But people with suspected cases have been ordered to stay home involuntarily.
"This is a prudent step to stem the spread of this potentially pandemic disease," he said.
Authorities have reported 51 confirmed cases of swine flu in the United States in New York City, California, Texas, Kansas, Ohio and Indiana. In Mexico, the suspected number of deaths is now over 150, and officials believe nearly 2,000 people have been infected.

Buffett: Berkshire Has Bought Back Stock
The big question when Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway announced a nearly unprecedented stock buyback on Monday: Would the company actually follow through with it?
Today on CNBC, Buffett said Berkshire already has started buying back stock. He didn't say how much stock Berkshire had bought.
In 2000, Buffett wrote in his annual letter to shareholders that Berkshire was willing to buy stock directly from shareholders. But the announcement alone–occurring not long after the Internet bubble started to burst–was enough to send Berkshire stock soaring, and the company never repurchased a single share.
This time, it looks like the company isn't just shooting blanks. Buffett said from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange that the low price-to-value of Berkshire stock pushed the company to announce the stock buyback– even though Buffett has criticized such moves at other companies as artificial stock-price props.
So why is Berkshire buying back stock now? "We haven't had many opportunities to do it," Buffett told CNBC today. "The only time to do buybacks in my view is when you think your stock is selling well below its intrinsic business value."
Buffett also took on criticisms that President Obama is anti-business and hurting companies because of uncertainty surrounding regulatory action and taxation. And then, he may have flashed a sign of disagreement (or at least a lack of blanket agreement) with Obama's jobs bill.
Buffett said Obama "took action to save General Motors and Chrysler," and backed the bailout programs to keep alive the banking system. In the process, Buffett said, Obama "rejuvenated the economy."
As for the regulatory worries, "I don't have any uncertainty," Buffett said.
Pressed by Andrew Ross Sorkin, Buffett wouldn't say whether he agreed or disagreed with Obama's recently announced jobs bill. Part of the program is the "Buffett Rule," aimed at preventing high-income earners from paying lower tax rates than middle-class Americans.
"I will look at the overall plan…and decide, net, do I like or do I not like it," Buffett said. "There is no question there will be parts I'll disagree with."

What's the problem here? Getting started on your athletic pavilion design.Show Hide
Design Challenge Background
The challenge is to redesign your high school's athletic facilities into an athletic pavillion. With national organizations emphasizing the importance of regular phyical activity to combat obesity, these spaces are more important (and used!) than ever. They are becoming communty spaces and spaces for connecting, cheering, and improving lifestyles.
Design Challenge Brief
You may redesign the interior of the existing athletic facilities, expand on the existing spaces, or design a completely new addition on to your school building. Your design should contain all the spaces and functions required for typical school athletic facilities – locker rooms, athletic equipment storage rooms, concession stands, trophy cases, water fountains, offices for athletics staff, bathrooms, exercise and weight rooms, and, of course, gym spaces. The redesigned pavillion should include ideas for both old and new ideas for athletic facilities. You should also consider sustainability issues and the environmental impact of your design.
For your Overview, it is important to post a short, but clear, 'success statement' that communicates the goals you hope to solve and achieve through your design solutions. When you're nearly finished with your design project, you can go back to this success statement to see if your design has met the criteria you first proposed.
What should I upload in this Overview step?
Write a short description of the problems you will be trying to solve in redesigning your school's athletic pavilion.
This is the most crucial part, the design and creation of a building from scratch. - Flemings Ultimate Garage
Curious about the instructions for this step of this athletic pavilion design problem? >>Show Hide
In the Collect Info step of the design process, gather as much information as possible about your school's existing athletic facilities, both indoor and outdoor. You also want to learn as much as you can about the students and staff who will use it. You can't propose new solutions until you figure out and document what the existing problems are.
Try This
- Do a 'site visit' of your school's existing athletic facilities and document what you see there by taking notes, sketching, and taking photos and videos. Note conditions that are unsafe, unsecure, or that are less than ideal. You can upload those photos or short videos here. Be sure to write a detailed description for every image. (If your school grants access to YouTube, check out this short video that some students in Chicago made about the design of their school building.)
- Take note of unsafe conditions or conditions that do not make sense (For example, not enough storage for soccer equipment; no place for fans to buy popcorn at events; no place for athletes to change clothes or store belongings).
- Interview your school's athletic director, student athletes from various sports, and other staff and ask them what they like and dislike about the current facilities. What changes would they make to spaces if they had a choice?
- Make a list of the features that you really like about how your athletic facilities look and function.
- Make a separate list of all the ways your current athletic facilities are not so well designed.
- Calculate the number of sports played at your school and the number of student athletes who play those sports. Consider how this information will affect your new athletic pavilion. How many teams will need to practice at the same time?
- Do an analysis at different times of the day, week, or school year and create a chart or diagram with average usage and high / low points.
- Do an analysis of the different types of equipment used by each sport. How much storage space is there currently? Is it enough? Too much?
- Visit Flickr or another photo sharing site and search for other types of athletic facilities or gymnasioums to determine good and bad examples of how these can accommodate user's needs.
- Post images of buildings, colors, designs, textures, or other things that inspire you in this step. Make sure you give credit to your source!
- Research other schools, universities, or public centers to determine good / bad examples of how athletic equipment and gear is stored and if anything is done to accommodate student athletes and the fans who use these outdoor facilities. What inspires you?
What should I upload in this Collect Info step?
Consider uploading photos, a short video, and a site plan drawing of your existing school library. Help us understand the existing conditions and the location of your spaces.
barclaya's work for the Collect Information step:
Curious about the instructions for this step of this athletic pavilion design problem? >>Show Hide
In the Brainstorm Ideas step of the design process, you start to be inspired by new places and you put some early ideas down on paper that show what you've found in the Collect Info step. You also might take more photos to show specific new ideas you have.
The simple diagrams you make here will help you understand how the existing library location and design compare with your new ideas.
Try This
- Draw a floorplan of your existing facilities. How are all of the different athletic spaces connected? What are the different pathways you can take through all of these spaces? Map all of these rooms and spaces.
- Use Google Maps to view and print out an aerial photo of your school. Take measurements of the overall dimensions of your existing athletic facilities, both indoor and outdoor and use the aerial to map out the measurements.
- Post this aerial map and sketch here so everyone can understand the relationship between your school building, the athletic fields, and the proposed site of your new pavilion. Describe the surrounding area and note existing structures such as the field, track, seating, storage, locker rooms, concession stands, and any fences.
- On a piece of tracing paper placed over the aerial photo of your school, sketch a diagram showing a large arc around the building to show the path of the sun throughout the day. This drawing is called a site analysis diagram. (Remember, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.)
Think About
- Will your new athletic pavillion replace your school's existing athletic facilities or become an addition to a different part of the building? Will it be built in an empty lot or space? Will it be underground or built on the roof? You decide.
- Spend some time looking at the aerial photo of your school. What types of other buildings surround your school? Homes, businesses, parks, parking lots, or an empty field? How will these other buildings impact the design of your new athletic pavillion?
- What types of streets surround your school? Are they busy or quiet?
- Based on the site analysis diagram you've sketched, where is the sun located throughout the school day?
- How can the indoor and outdoor areas of your new athletic pavillion be positioned to take advantage of the sunlight for good lighting?
What should I upload in this Brainstorm Ideas step?
Consider uploading hand sketches or a quick study model of all your first ideas. You can scan these drawings or take photos of your model.
barclaya's work for the Brainstorm Ideas step:
Curious about the instructions for this step of this athletic pavilion design problem? >>Show Hide
In the Develop Solutions step, your rough ideas come together with drawings and models that can show others your solutions for a new library.
Important! Since DiscoverDesign is about investigating the design process, the other people viewing your project - other students around the country, your teacher, and the mentors - want to see how your ideas have changed over time. This means that while you're working on your digital model, you'll want to be sure to keep re-saving it with a new file name every few days as you work through the steps.
Try This
- Draw a sketch or use software such as Google SketchUp, AutoCAD, or Revit to illustrate your ideas. You can upload photos (JPG files) from your SketchUp model, video fly throughs (FLV files) of your SketchUp model, or drawings (DWF files) from AutoCAD.
- Determine the best location for your new structure. Make side notes of where new elements may go or how you would change what is currently in place.
- Make a list of all the unique spaces and features you plan to have in your athletic pavilion.
- Your athletic pavilion can include any types of spaces and features you feel are most important for your particular school, but here are a few suggestions:
- Locker or changing rooms for home and visiting teams
- Athletic equipment storage rooms
- Concession stand
- Trophy cases
- Water fountains
- Offices for athletic director or staff
- Bathrooms for fans
- Exercise or weight rooms
- Use cardboard to create a 3D study model of early ideas. Or, create a rough digital study model of your ideas. These models don't need to show detail, just the overall size and massing for your athletic pavilion.
- Show your ideas to your teacher and peers for some feedback. You can also review your progress with the test group you may have interviewed and test whether your design would meet their needs or address their concerns. Learn from the feedback you receive and incorporate into your final design solution.
- Be sure to check out and make comments on other student design projects.
- Do not leave work for the last minute! Going through a detailed design process requires time to gather information, develop ideas, and make improvements. This is difficult or impossible if you try to pull everything together a week before your project is due. Projects that are researched, developed, and well executed will always stand out!
What should I upload in this Develop Solutions step?
Consider uploading images (JPG, GIF) of your rough digital model. It's ok if your model is still a work in progress. Show an axonometric or perspective view with people, which will help others understand the scale of your library.
barclaya's work for the Develop Solutions step:
Curious about the instructions for this step of this athletic pavilion design problem? >>Show Hide
The Final Design step of the design process is to create more finished drawings and models that illustrate your ideas to others. Remember, your explanation text, and the types of drawings, images, and models you share need to tell the whole story of your project to someone who may or may not have ever visited your school.
Try This
- Review your design and test it against your original sucess statement that you wrote for the Overview. Does it meet this criteria?
- Does your final design meet the expectations of the student athletes and athletic director that you interviewed? If not, you may need to go back to the drawing board and revise your design.
- For your final design, you will want to post a short but effective paragraph of your process and the unique solutions you found and developed. Tell us about your ideas and how they may or may not have changed over the course of the project.
- You might want to share floor plans, elevations, renderings of your digital model, photos of a physical model, or a video animation of your model.
- But you aren't done yet! Be sure to comment on other projects in the competition to foster, encourage, and build an online design community of learners in DiscoverDesign. CAF will also recognize students that provide both encouragement and constructive criticism on students' work throughout the run of the competition.
What should I upload in the Final Design step?
Consider uploading final hand or digital renderings, images of your finished physical model, or your finished digital model (as a DWF file).

Roger stays the King of Queens!
Roger won his fifth U.S. Open in a row by beating Andy Murray in the final today! The 6-2 7-5 6-2 victory put him one grand slam crown away from matching the record total collected by American Pete Sampras.
"This is a very special moment in my career," said Roger after his victory. "I had a couple of tough Slams this year, including that epic at Wimbledon. To take this one home is incredible. It means the world to me."
He powered up his huge game for the first Monday final in New York in 21 years, delayed a day after torrential rain scuttled the weekend schedule. He avenged two defeats against Murray, who would have become the first Briton to win the US tournament since Fred Perry in 1936.
"Andy's gone great the past couple of weeks," Roger said. 'We'll see more of him in the future.' Roger took the first two sets and then kicked in his afterburners with two breaks of the Scot to love in the third set, 4-0. He was broken while serving for victory leading 5-1 but put things right a game later on his second match point, as he wrong- footed Murray before falling to his knees in celebration of the reassuring victory.
Roger is the first man to win five successive titles at two different Grand Slams, just ended his streak this year at Wimbledon. He improved his Grand Slam finals record to 13-4. The match was his 34th straight win at Flushing Meadows, where he is now 45-4 lifetime.
Absolutely amazing!!!! Congratulations! I am looking forward to going to my tennis tournament in Palm Springs in March and can hardly wait to see you play.
All the best, a huge, huge fan in Canada!

More Voters Say Tax the Rich
A new Financial Times/Harris Poll finds growing worldwide support for raising taxes on the wealthy.
The study of 8,748 adults in eight countries found that more than half of respondents in all countries believed the wealthy should be taxed more. Here are the soak-the rich rankings (i.e., the percentage of respondents from each country who said "The government should tax the wealthy more"):
Japan — 77%
Spain — 65%
Germany — 64%
China — 60%
Italy — 59%
France — 51%
Granted, there are some obvious problems with the poll — it defines neither "wealthy" nor "tax more." And it's a relatively small sample size per country.
Yet the responses become more interesting when they're compared with another poll question: Is the gap between rich and poor too wide?
In this ranking — call it the envy ranking — Japan is at the bottom, with only 64% of respondents saying the gap is too wide, while another 20% believe it's just right. France has the second-highest envy ranking, with 85% believing the gap is too wide — yet it has the lowest "soak-the-rich" ranking. Germany is ranked first in the envy ranking at 87%, while the U.S. ranks second to last, with 78% saying the gap is too wide.
You would think that the countries with the highest envy ranking would also be the most likely to want to hike taxes on the rich. So why is the relationship nearly the opposite?
One answer might be existing tax codes. France already taxes its earners heavily, so there might be less pressure to tax people even more, even though the envy ranking is high. The U.S. probably has the highest wealth gap of any of the other countries, yet taxing the rich isn't as popular here, since more voters aspire to become wealthy themselves.
Another answer may be relative wealth gaps. Germans says their wealth gap is too wide –but Germany is among the more meritocratic economies in the world when it comes to distribution of wealth. Germans' definitions of "too wide" are probably different from those of Japanese and American respondents.
This could just be a mixed-up poll. Do Wealth Report readers have any other answers for this unexpected tax-and-envy relatationship?

Monday June 1, 2009
Lexington, KY – Kyle Nicholson delivered one of the league's best pitching performances of the season Saturday night with a complete game victory over the Lexington Legends. Lexington's Ross Seaton answered against the Augusta GreenJackets on Monday night with his own gem – a complete game 5-0 shutout to split the four-game set between the Legends and GreenJackets from Applebee's Park.
Seaton's shutout is only the second of the season in the South Atlantic League – the other was Kyle Nicholson's seven-inning blanking of the Asheville Tourists on May 18th – and the first nine-inning complete game shutout. Seaton (6-4) dominated the GreenJackets, allowing just three hits without a walk and striking out six.
Ehire Adrianza doubled in the fifth and was the only Augusta hitter to reach second. The other two baserunners came on a pair of singles and a fielding error in the third.
Aaron King ran into trouble and bad luck in the first. After a groundball to third that may have been a double play with one out and a runner on was mishandled by Charlie Culberson, King allowed a three-run home run to Brian Pellegrini to give the Legends a first-inning lead. Lexington added another in the third on a Matt Klimas throwing error and their final run in the sixth off reliever Andrew Reichard on Ronnie Ramirez's RBI single.
