Objectives: Previous studies investigating the association between interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and its receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) polymorphism and cervical cancer risk have reported controversial results. Thus, we examined these associations by performing meta-analyses.
Methods and Materials: Fourteen studies testing the association between IL-1β and/or IL-1RN gene polymorphisms and cervical cancer were examined: 5 studies of IL-1β–511C/T, 3 studies of IL-1β–31T/C, and 6 studies of IL-1RN. Overall and ethnicity-specific summary odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for cervical cancer associated with these polymorphisms were estimated using fixed- and random-effects models. Heterogeneity and publication bias were evaluated.
Results: Meta-analysis of all 6 studies showed variant genotypes of IL-1RN to be associated with an elevated cervical cancer risk (RN2/RN2 vs RN1/RN1: OR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.29–5.40; recessive: OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.06–4.38; dominant: OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.07–2.38). Combined analysis indicated that IL-1β–511C/T polymorphism was also associated with increased risk of cervical cancer (TT vs CC: OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.22–1.99; CT vs CC: OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.31–1.99; dominant: OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.31–1.95). No significant association of IL-1β–31T/C and cervical cancer risk was detected. There was no evidence of publication bias.
Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggested that the IL-1RN and IL-1β–511C/T polymorphisms may contribute to genetic susceptibility of cervical cancer. More studies are needed to further evaluate the role of the IL-1β–31T/C polymorphism in the etiology of cancer.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide.1 It is well known that the major risk factor for cervical cancer is the infection of high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), but most of the infections regress without intervention, suggesting that an effective host immune response might be an important determinant of susceptibility to HPV-related cervical cancer. Cytokines, as the products of host response to inflammation, play an important role in the defense against viral infection. Interleukins are proinflammatory cytokines produced by monocytes, macrophages, and epithelial cells. The interleukin 1 (IL-1) family consists of the cytokines interleukin 1α (IL-1α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and a specific receptor antagonist (IL-1RN).2
Interleukin 1β is a proinflammatory cytokine mainly produced by blood monocytes and tissue macrophages and has been implicated in mediating both acute and chronic inflammation.3 Recently, a common polymorphic allele of the regulatory region of the IL-1β gene was found to be associated with increased IL-1 production.4 Individuals with high and intermediate IL-1β secretor phenotypes may be more susceptible to lower grade lesions rather than high-grade lesion or cervical carcinoma.5 Elevated IL-1β was reported to be associated with cervical dysplasia.6 These evidences suggest that IL-1β may be involved in early step of cervical carcinogenesis and that individual difference of IL-1β secretion may affect individual susceptibility to cervical cancer progression.
IL-1RN is an anti-inflammatory protein that competes with IL-1 in binding to its receptor and modulates its effects.7 The polymorphic gene that encodes IL-1RN seems to play an important role in the development of various malignancies and infectious diseases.8 The IL-1RN gene is also polymorphic due to a variable number (2–6) of tandem repeat of 86 base pair (VNTR) within its second intron.
The presence of IL-1β–511T, IL-1β–31C, and IL-1RN*2 alleles has been associated with cervical cancer risk in some reports,9–11 but not in others.12 Therefore, we did meta-analyses to find sources of variation in the reports.
MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, and Wanfang were searched (last search was updated on February 10, 2014, using the search terms: "interleukin-1 receptor antagonist," "IL1," "polymorphism," and "cervical cancer"). All searched studies were retrieved, and their bibliographies were checked for other relevant publications. Review articles and bibliographies of other relevant studies identified were hand-searched to find additional eligible studies. Only published studies with full text articles were included. When more than one of the same patient population was included in several publications, only the most recent or complete study was used in this meta-analysis.
The inclusion criteria were (a) evaluation of the IL-1β–511C/T, IL-1β–31T/C, and/or IL-1RN gene polymorphisms and cervical cancer risk, (b) case-control studies, and (c) sufficient published data for estimating an odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).
Information was carefully extracted from all eligible publications independently by 2 of the authors according to the inclusion criteria listed previously. Disagreement was resolved by discussion between the 2 authors. If these 2 authors could not reach a consensus, another author was consulted to resolve the dispute and a final decision was made through most of the votes. The following data were collected from each study: first author's name, publication date, ethnicity, country, total number of cases and controls, numbers of cases and controls with the IL-1β–511C/T, IL-1β–31T/C, and IL-1RN genotypes and genotype method, respectively. Different ethnicities were categorized as white and Asian. We did not define any minimum number of patients to include in our meta-analysis.
Crude ORs with 95% CIs were used to assess the strength of association between the IL-1β–511C/T, IL-1β–31T/C, and IL-1RN polymorphisms and cervical cancer risk. Pooled ORs were obtained from combination of single study homozygous model (IL-1RN: RN2/RN2 vs RN1/RN1; IL-1β–511: TT vs CC; IL-1β–31: CC vs TT), heterozygous model (IL-1RN: RN1/RN2 vs RN1/RN1; IL-1β–511: CT vs CC; IL-1β–31: CT vs TT), recessive model (IL-1RN: RN2RN2 vs RN1RN2 + RN1RN1; IL-1β–511: TT vs CT + CC; IL-1β–31: CC vs CT + TT), and dominant model (IL-1RN: RN1RN2 + RN2RN2 vs RN1RN1; IL-1β–511: TT + CT vs CC; IL-1β–31: CC + CT vs TT), respectively. Heterogeneity assumption was checked by the χ2-based Q test.13 P value greater than 0.10 for the Q test indicates a lack of heterogeneity among studies, so the pooled OR estimate of the each study was calculated by the fixed-effects model (the Mantel-Haenszel method).14 Otherwise, the random-effects model (the DerSimonian and Laird method) was used.15 An estimate of potential publication bias was carried out by the funnel plot, in which the standard error of log (OR) of each study was plotted against its log (OR). An asymmetric plot suggests a possible publication bias. Funnel plot asymmetry was assessed by the method of Egger linear regression test, a linear regression approach to measure funnel plot asymmetry on the natural logarithm scale of the OR. The significance of the intercept was determined by the t test suggested by Egger (P < 0.05 was considered representative of statistically significant publication bias).16 All the statistical tests were performed with STATA version 10.0 (Stata Corporation, College Station, TX).
One hundred eighteen studies were identified after electronic searches, and 11 articles addressed IL-1β and IL-1RN polymorphisms with cervical cancer and met the inclusion criteria9–12,17–23 (Fig. 1). Table 1 lists the studies identified and their main characteristics. For the IL-1β–511C/T polymorphism, 6 studies comprised 3 Asian and 2 white population samples. For the IL-1β–31T/C polymorphism, all subjects were Asians. For the IL-1RN polymorphism, 6 studies comprised 4 white and 2 Asian samples. All of the cases were pathologically confirmed. Controls were mainly individuals with no history of any malignancy and matched for age. Genotype distribution in the controls of each study was in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Stratified analysis was only conducted for IL-1β–511C/T and IL-1RN polymorphism in Asian and white.
Five studies compared cervical cancer cases versus controls for IL-1β–511C/T polymorphism, and forest plots of the included studies were shown in Figure 2. The overall ORs for homozygous contrast (TT vs CC: OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.22–1.99), heterozygous contrast (CT vs CC: OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.31–1.99) and dominant (TT + CT vs CC: OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.31–1.95) of IL-1β–511C/T polymorphism were statistically significant associated with increased risk of cervical cancer. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, significantly increased risks were found for whites (TT vs CC: OR, 3.08; 95% CI, 1.64–5.80; recessive: OR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.48–3.17; and dominant: OR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.24–4.13) and Asians (TT vs CC: OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.06–1.80; CT vs CC: OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.30–2.01; and dominant: OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.25–1.89).
Meta-analysis showed that the IL-1RN polymorphism was associated with risk of cervical cancer (homozygous: OR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.29–5.40; recessive: OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.06–4.38; dominant: OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.07–2.38). Subgroup analyses by ethnicity suggested that the IL-1RN polymorphism was associated with cervical cancer risk in whites (homozygous: OR, 3.34; 95% CI, 1.16–9.64; dominant, OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.19–3.02).
No significantly elevated cervical cancer risk was found in all genetic models when all studies were pooled into the meta-analysis (CC vs TT: OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 0.98–1.69; CT vs TT: OR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.66–1.99; recessive model: OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.86–1.35; and dominant model: OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 0.74–1.92).
Egger test was performed to access the publication bias of literatures. The results indicated no significant evidence for publication biases except for TT + CT versus CC of IL-1β–511C/T polymorphism (Table 2).
A single study involved in the meta-analysis was deleted each time to reflect the influence of the individual data set to the pooled ORs, and the corresponding pooled ORs were not materially altered (data not shown), indicating that our results were statistically robust.
Reports of IL-1β and IL-1RN polymorphisms in cervical cancer have been contradictory. The discordant results among genetic investigations of complex diseases may account for clinical heterogeneity, ethnic differences, real genetic heterogeneity, and small sample sizes.23 Meta-analysis provides a useful means of analyzing inconsistent results because it increases sample size, and thus, statistical power.24 Accordingly, the current analysis was performed to draw a more reliable conclusion compared to individual inconsistent results. Our results indicated that the association of cervical cancer with either IL-1RN polymorphism or IL-1β–511C/T polymorphism was statistically significant. However, IL-1β–31T/C polymorphism using all of the models had no associations with cervical cancer.
IL-1β is a potent activator of immune responses directed against viral and bacterial infections.25 It was recently identified to be targeted by high-risk HPV as a central hub within the network of innate immunity and down-regulated in cervical tumors.5,26 Because a gradual absence of IL-1β was also found in cervical tissue sections, inactivation of IL-1β signaling apparently inhibits its central role in the balance between inflammation and antiviral immunity against an HPV infection, thereby significantly contributing to the development of cervical cancer.27
On the basis of the previously mentioned information, we suggested that IL-1β–511C/T polymorphism could be involved in cervical cancer pathogenesis and may be a potential relevant factor for cervical cancer by affecting IL-1 production or altering levels of IL-1 gene expression.
Meanwhile, IL-1β–31T/C polymorphism could not be supposed to affect the risk of cervical cancer. However, it must be admitted that these conclusions need to be confirmed in further studies due to the limited number of participants of this meta-analysis.
IL-1RN allele 2 has been shown to be associated with increased production of IL-1RA and IL-1β and decreased production of IL-1α.10 In addition, it is reported that IL-1β overexpression correlates with mutations in the p53 gene.28 Moreover, IL-1β has been shown to reduce apoptosis by changing the ratio of BCL-2/BAX proteins.29 Therefore, higher production of IL-1β may lead to increase in p53 mutation load, and the increased level of IL-1β may play a role not only in HPV-related cervical carcinogenesis but also in HPV-nonrelated cervical carcinogenesis. Furthermore, we did find significant allele 2 of IL-1RN associations with the increased risk of overall cervical cancer among whites but not among Asians. This finding and the fact that the allele 2 is rare in Asians suggest that this genetic marker may be of less importance and effect for that ethnic group.
Some limitations of this meta-analysis should be acknowledged. First, the controls were not uniformly defined. Although most of the controls were selected mainly from healthy populations, some had benign disease. Therefore, nondifferential misclassification bias was possible because these studies may have included the control groups who have different risks of developing cervical cancer.
Second, for IL-1β–511C/T and IL-1RN polymorphisms, in the subgroup analysis, the number of each subgroup was relatively small, not having enough statistical power to explore the real association. For IL-1β–31T/C polymorphism, the number of studies involved was relatively small, so the subgroup analysis was hard to perform. Third, our results were based on unadjusted estimates, although a more precise analysis should be conducted if individual data were available, which would allow for the adjustment by other covariants including age, ethnicity, menopausal status, smoking status, drinking status, obesity, environmental factors, and lifestyle.
In summary, this meta-analysis demonstrated that the predominance of qualified studies reported a statistically significant association between IL-1β–511C/T and IL-1RN polymorphisms and cervical cancer susceptibility, and no statistically significant association between IL-1β–31T/C polymorphism and cervical cancer susceptibility. To confirm these findings, further case-control studies based on adequately sized populations, including different ethnic groups, are still needed. Moreover, further gene-gene and gene-environment interaction studies should also be considered.

Love on Campus: Trying to Set Rules for the Emotions
By SARA RIMER
Published: October 1, 2003
BERKELEY, Calif.— The University of California is beginning the academic year under a new policy that bans ''romantic or sexual'' relationships between professors and their students.
Like a lot of people on campus, Catherine Gallagher, a professor of English here, is confused.
What precisely does the word romantic mean, she wonders. ''Does it mean a personal relationship? Does it mean you can't go out for coffee?''
The university has long had a strict sexual harassment policy. With its new rules, it has joined a small but growing number of colleges that have taken the extra step of trying to regulate those relationships that, at least at the outset, both parties seem to want.
But setting policy for how sex and romance should play out on campus turns out to be as complicated and problematic as, well, relationships themselves. The policy took effect at the University of California's nine campuses in July. People have been debating it ever since.
At the University of Michigan, which is revising its policy on consensual faculty-student relationships, the administration has even come up with detailed hypothetical examples of what situations might arise and how they should be handled.
''Department Chair X is having a sexual relationship with Graduate Student D who is a member of Assistant Professor Y's laboratory in the same department,'' one example reads. ''In managing the resultant conflict, Chair X would have to recuse himself from evaluative/promotional reviews of Assistant Professor Y's work while Graduate Student D is a member of the laboratory.''
Schools that have adopted such policies include Stanford, Yale, Duke, the University of Virginia, Ohio Wesleyan and the University of Iowa. The strictest policy, put in place at the College of William and Mary two years ago, forbids consensual relationships between all faculty members and undergraduate students.
But more typical are policies like the one Duke adopted in 2002, which strongly discourages faculty members from becoming involved with their students but says that if such a relationship develops, the faculty member must report it to a dean and then be removed from all authority over the student.
Peter H. Burian, a classics professor at Duke who was chairman of the Academic Council when it took up the issue, said he received dozens of e-mail messages from faculty members about the policy -- more than any other issue the council considered under his watch.
''People have very strong feelings about this.'' he said. ''There were people who felt the university was morally culpable for not saying no to any such relationship. There were other people who basically said, 'You're trampling on our rights. We know faculty members who are x years later happily married to former students. We know this is going to happen.' ''
The new policies, at Duke, the University of California and elsewhere, arise out of a range of concerns, including the ethics and conflicts of interests involved in such relationships. Gayle Binion, a professor of political science who helped negotiate the adoption of the new policy at the University of California, said her primary concern was ensuring that faculty members did not cross ''normal professional relationship boundaries,'' the same sort of boundaries that have long been clearly established between doctors and their patients, she said.
As other supporters of the policy do, she questions if relationships between faculty members and students they supervise, recommend for graduate school or jobs, or otherwise evaluate can ever be truly consensual.
''It's not just about power,'' Professor Binion said. ''It's about the asymmetry of the life situation. For faculty members, they have relationships, they break up, their lives go on. They're established. For students, these things can have dramatic repercussions. We're saying the faculty member has to be the one to take responsibility. You can't just say the student says it was O.K.''
At several schools, including William and Mary and Ohio Wesleyan, the policies were prompted by highly publicized incidents involving sexual relationships between professors and students.
At the University of California, such a policy was already under discussion when the dean of the university's Boalt Hall School of Law at Berkeley, John Dwyer, resigned after a student accused him of sexual harassment. Mr. Dwyer, who was not married at the time, said that he had had one consensual encounter with the student -- whom he did not teach or supervise -- and that his actions represented ''a serious error in judgment.''
The new policy prohibits faculty members from entering into consensual relationships with any student for whom they have, or ''reasonably expect'' to have, academic responsibility. That includes students they are teaching or supervising or evaluating in any way. Faculty members who violate the policy are subject to disciplinary action ranging from a reprimand to dismissal.
While the University of California's new policy was approved by an overwhelming majority of the academic assembly, it continues to stir debate here. Professor Gallagher is one of more than 60 faculty members, mostly from the humanities and including many from women's studies, who have objected to the new policy as too vague and too sweeping.
They say it is impossible to know with certainty which students they may ''reasonably expect'' to have academic responsibility over.

Emanuele Della Rosa: I'm Ready To Face Erislandy Lara
By Miguel Rivera
The World Boxing Council advised BoxingScene.com a few days ago that WBC International champion Emanuele Della Rosa (31-1, 8KOs) will be the opponent for Erislandy Lara in a final junior middleweight eliminator. Della Rosa lost in 2009, by split decision, to middleweight Sebastian Zbik.
Della Rosa, who's currently ranked third, is ready to face Lara.
"There is a chance that I could face Lara, who is a great fighter. And I'm ready to face him... or anyone else [in a WBC final eliminator]," stressed Della Rosa.
Lara (17-1-2, 11KOs) faced Vanes Marirosyan in a final eliminator last November. They went to a nine round technical decision draw after Vanes suffered cut above his left eye from an accidental clash of heads. The WBC ordered them to fight again, but Vanes took a pass with no written contract clause for the winner to get a guaranteed shot at WBC champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Regarding the Wednesday letter, "Commercial service necessary": Really?
The opinion ignores so many facts about Paine Field and commercial airports it is hard to know where to begin. Let's start with the one fact most proponents of commercial air service either don't know or won't admit. Federal law gives priority to commercial flights. If Allegiant with their "subsidize us or we won't come" business model wants to land and takeoff with their noisy, polluting, MD-80 planes, then all other activity at Paine Field would have to wait, including 787 or other ready-for-flight tests. Who wants to subsidize that and why?
Paine field has Boeing (poised to increase employment to 33,500 in the next five years), Future of Flight Museum, Flying Heritage Collection, Historic Flight Foundation, and several high-tech companies supporting Boeing in addition to a healthy general aviation presence.
Federal law does not allow local restrictions on number of flights or time of day if scheduled service starts up. Increasing subsidies to fit Allegiant's model means more flights. And here is how the game is rigged: if Allegiant is subsidized then the FAA requires offering the same subsidies to other airlines. And, think a one-runway airport can't get busy with commercial flights? San Diego International is a one-runway airport and has approximately 550 departures and arrivals per day.
Does Mr. Robinett or anyone really believe we should subsidize airlines for a few low-paying jobs with all the impacts and threats of FAA's unrestricted growth scenario? If so, please explain why. If not, then please join us in calling for all reasonable, foreseeable, potential impacts to be identified (this is the law by the way) and for all mitigation costs to be paid by the airlines, not the taxpayers. Businesses should be able to stand on their own.

Dark current generation as a function of temperature of a Ford MPP-CCD. The dark current is more than 3 orders of magnitude greater for the noninverted condition than for the inverted state after the sensor was subjected to 20 krad of 60Co radiation. The finite dark current increase for MPP operation (a factor of 2) is due to radiation damage in the bulk.

Not cracked up as presented.
Please let me explain in my commentary below.
I called Toshiba to solve what appeared to be a minor issue regarding getting the DVD/CD player to play.
I was disconnected four (4) times without the courtesy of a return call from Toshiba after I had given my telephone#.
I had the exact same discussion with (5) five different people each time I called back.
I had to pay $35 because the unit was out of warranty.
Previously, this unit has consistently given me problems through 2 IT technicians who had much trouble fixing the unit. After purchase I had to bring a unit back to the vendor 3 times. The 3rd time, they exchanged the original unit for the one I currently own and having difficulty.
Sequence of phone calls:
I was told to use the Recovery Disc. I believed we were to use a portion of data on the Recovery Disc to fix the issue. I asked, Is any saved personal data would be safe and he assured me that it would. Since I am a novice PC user, the technician took me trough every step with my questioning every step. We finished the process, the disc began to function and was told to call back in 20 minutes after the process was complete.
The unit was restarted and the DVD/CD player was functional; however, all the saved data and all of my programs were gone.
At this point I was really angry that a simple issue could have caused such disgusting and dire consequences.
Question: What is the protocol (steps) to solve the simple DVD/CD issue besides using a Recovery Disc?????
I wrote Toshiba and asked the following.
My needs from Toshiba:
*Recover the lost important personal data
*Return all programs to the original function.
*Replace this poor performing unit with a new unit with reliability.
This would be in concert with Toshiba's Commitment, "To maintain fair and equitable business practices", as outlined on the site: http://www.toshiba.com/csrpub/jsp/home/Tcommitment.jsp
Further stating, "Philosophy and ethos is founded on the principles of corporate social responsibility."
I was denied any help from Toshiba.
Just thought someone should know.

Ambigrams are a form of visual wordplay in which words are written such that they can be read in more than one way. I have been creating ambigrams and other such oddities for a while now… and they are collected here for your enjoyment.
Check out
A mathematician-poet
reinterprets Ambigrams!
My ambigrams are featured in a new book.
December 2003:
An article titled "Words as Art and Play" about my ambigram work (with a couple of examples) made it to the New Educator, a publication of the College of Education at Michigan State University. Actually I made it to the New Educator twice! Here is the other article (Out of this world) this time on my research work (my real job!).August 2003:
A space ambigram I created was featured in Archimedes, a magazine for puzzles and recreational mathematics (Check out http://www.archimedes-lab.org/).My work was also covered in an article in an Indian magazine (Kohinoor publications). There is no web link available and I haven't even seen the actual print publication. I will post scans here when I get my hands on it.Ambigrams get famous in the Chess world. Ambigrams were always a part of Ram Narsimhan's website devoted to Vishwanathan Anand (India's first Grandmaster). Then it was picked up by ChessWatch (now defunct). More interestingly ambigrams ended up being featured in an Chess.fm Internet radio advertisement. I didn't get a chance to hear it but this is how it went:
<A few chess rumors>… What about the rumor that Anand is actually an Ambigram? Read all about this and other chess curiosities in ChessWatch… " (Thanks to Ram Narasimhan for telling me about this).
Finally, Ram asked me to create a few chess related ambigrams. One of the words he gave me was "Fritz", maybe the second best chess playing computer program in the world today. Well I did create one (see it here) and it ended up in an article on ChessBase.com (Here is a link to the article on the chessbase website, and another to an archived version on my site).
May 2003:
My work was covered in the Sunday edition of MidDay (a daily newspaper published from Mumbai, India) on the 25th of May, 2003. You can read the article on the MidDay web site or as archived on this site (this link may be more reliable).
You can also read the interview that led to the above article.
December 2002:
My friend, Gaurav Bhatnagar, writes a popular Mathematics column for a East-Delhi newspaper. I contributed a guest column back in December 2002. You can see the pdf version by clicking here.
An ambigram (cause-effect) I designed made it to the cover of a book written by Gary Cziko (Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). The book is titled "The things we do: Using the lessons of Bernard and Darwin to understand what, how, and why of our behavior" and is published by MIT press. You can see the cover here.

World Land Speed Record for a motorhome...
Ok it's not news… but it is interesting! Did you know the World Land Speed Record for a motorhome is currently held by a Hymer, using a gas powered 2.3 litre Fiat Ducato engine tuned by Goldschmidt? The event took place in Stuttgart in 2010 where a speed of 207kph was recorded.
The Hymer, powered by an economical 2.3-litre engine with innovative gas-diesel drive, clearly smashed the previous record of 191 kph. In a first attempt on an airfield, the record-making vehicle even topped the 200 kph mark – the speed such a fully appointed hotel on wheels has to reach to earn the title of the world's fastest motorhome according to the Guinness Book of Records. The measured speed was 207 kph!
The speed was reached thanks primarily to aerodynamic measures taken (for instance by using under-floor fairing or by flattening the window panes), by slight engine tuning, and mainly due to the additional power generated by adding gas to conventional diesel fuel. Heinrich Bloemer, the Goldschmitt employee responsible for inventing the revolutionary gas-diesel engine and formerly an active racing driver, took on the challenge of making the 2.3-litre HYMER Car into a sprint champion. "It would have been far simpler if we had taken the 3-litre version of the Fiat Ducato. But we wanted to show that the Ducato engine of lower cubic capacity has an enormous power reserve and is still very economical despite the present high output of about 200 hp", said Bloemer.

Alternative text is a textual description of an image. It is used in web browsers in place of displaying an image. People with visual disabilities need assistance in understanding what message an image is trying to convey because they cannot see, or have difficulty seeing the image. In addition, some web browsers do not support images (i.e.: handheld devices).
For people with visual disabilities the Alternative Text is read by screen readers to describe an image. The purpose of Alternative Text is to provide an experience as close as possible to that of being able to actually see the image, even when the image is never actually "seen".
Types of Alternative Text
There are three basic types of Alternative Text:
1. Alt tag - an "Alt Tag" is a short description, usually 8-10 words, or less. The "Alt Tag" is embedded directly in the web page.
2. Long Description - a description that is usually longer than 8-10 words. It is accessed through a "d" link. A "d" link allows people to click on the small letter "d" next to the image to open up a new page containing the entire presentation.
3. Decorative Image - an image that is used purely for decoration and does not add or take away anything significant from the message of the page. An example would be a line which is used to visually separate two items on a screen , like a line separating the Title of a page from the content of a page. When an image is encoded as a a "Decorative Image" it is assigned a null tag which tells a screen reader to ignore it.
Much of the timeline requirements for Section 508 accessibility standards compliance are already in place, with the exception of those websites for which remediation or replacement of the website is not possible or would constitute an undue burden, then a plan to provide an equally effective alternate form of access must be developed, documented, and communicated.
By May 15, 2012, all websites in the California State University system should fully conform to Section 508; the undue burden exception and requirements as described above continue to apply.
The full timeline published by the Chancellor's Office as part of the Accessible Technology Initiative is available on the HSU Accessible Technology Initiative website.
An electronically-provided ATI class is mandatory for faculty and staff publishing official web pages. Part of those training materials includes training on a product called AccVerify. This is an automatic web accessibility checker program that can check the accessibility of web pages. Keep in mind though, that not everything on a web page can be checked automatically. There are some manual checks that the developer/user has to perform. The training will cover the use of the AccVerify software in addition to how to perform the manual checks to do a complete check of a website.

Skill Level Beginner
In an earlier chapter we discussed how to set up relationships in your FileMaker database. It's actually one of the most important components to setting up a relational database system. So if you haven't watched those videos yet, I strongly recommend you go back and watch them before you proceed with this chapter. Just a little note. Once you have established a relationship inside your FileMaker file, then you have the benefit of being able to start working with some of the relationship based functions in FileMaker, and there are a lot of them. We are going to cover each one of them in this chapter. The first one of these functions that we are going to look at is the concept of using related fields.
If you recall from our discussion on relationships, each relationship between two tables in your database must have one parent and one child. Every relationship is going to be one-to -many relationship, so the child record is on the many side of the one-to-many, and the parent is on the one side. So in our example, as you see onscreen, I have got an Invoice detail record and the relationship between customers and invoice is one customer can have many invoices so that customer is the parent, which is on the one side, and the invoice is the child, which is on the many side.
So right now our context is in the child in the relationship. So once we have a relationship like this in place, which we do here in our example file, it's possible to use a relationship to look at data from one table from the perspective of another. So, for example, if I go into the Invoice Detail layout, you will notice that each of these records represents an invoice or an order. So we have got some information that lives in the order level, like the status of the order, the invoice date, the sales person who generated this, their commission, and some other information about subtotals and rates and that type of thing.
We also notice that we have got a field here that's called Customer ID and inside this field, contains the ID of the parent customer. So what that means is that our tables have a relationship set up, but this record actually has a related parent because its foreign key field is populated. And now you think yourself, well this is an order record. So it would kind of make sense that we had some fields that pertain to the customer somewhere on this layout. So, for example, you might want to go to an invoice record and see what company it's for, what their address is, shipping information, that type of thing.
Well, we could easily just go into the Invoice table and define a bunch of field to that are called company name, company address, company city, company state. However, that process wouldn't be efficient because we'd go in and create these fields that already exit in our solution somewhere else, but the real problem is we would create a risk of redundant data. So what if somebody who is writing up an invoice saw that the customer's address had updated. So they will go and update the fields that are in your Invoice table, the ones I would propose that we could have created.
But that's not going to go link back to the parent table. They're just going to be the same address fields. So it would make sense to do that, and that's just a small example of some really big damage and confusion that you can cause if you don't just leave the fields defined within their appropriate table. So the solution to all this is to store one type of information in only one place. In this case, store customer data in the Customer table. This is one of the primary reasons that you would work with the relational database system like FileMaker instead of something like a spreadsheet, for example. So how do we get around this issue if we actually want to have customer information on a layout that's based on Invoice? Well, this is one of the great benefits of having tables related to each other and of course we know that the Customer is related to Invoice.
Since the Invoice is the child in this table, it can pull data from any of the fields in the parent record. So, let me repeat. Because this is the child in a parent-child relationship or one-to-many relationship that means that we can place fields from the parent on this layout. And the reason we can do that is because there is only one parent. So we know exactly what data would show up in that field. I like to refer to this concept as borrowing from a parent. So, if we go back into Layout mode, let me show you how easy it is to do this.
So, let's grab from our toolbar here the Field tool, and we will drag that down to the Email and release, and now instead of choosing a field from the current table, which is the default, notice what happens when I click that dropdown. You see I have got all the other related tables and then the unrelated tables. Now, I can choose any one of these related tables and borrow fields from them, and then the fields that I place on here will display the data that's actually stored back in that parent record. I can't do that for anything that's listed under Unrelated, but we don't have any of those in the solution.
So let's pick Customers, and I will pick AddressEmail. So, now we see the AddressEmail field entered and what's interesting if you look real closely is that we have got two colons that precede the name of the field. That way visually you can see the difference between a native field for this table and a related field. Now, I am going to hold down my Option key in Mac and drag in the field, which is going to allow me create a new field. And you see it's already going to the Customer context. I am going to pick CompanyName, and I am just going to do a couple of more of these again, holding down the Option and dragging, Street, City, State, almost done, and Zip.
So, now you see they all are indicated as related fields and I didn't have to define any of these inside the Invoice table. So, let's go in the Browse mode and take a look at what happens. Save our changes. And now you see what we have got here is data that's coming in, but where is that data coming from? Well, let's go into Customer detail, we can find all Radley & Friends contacts, and we see we have got Boo Radley from Montverde, Arkansas, and if you go into the Invoice detail, you see, yeah Montverde, Arkansas ordered by Boo Radley.
So, now what happens if we change the parent? So if we go in and pick really any one of these, let's say Pernell Inc., now all this information changes. That's because I just changed the foreign key field again. This is all relationship stuff, but if I changed the foreign key field value to another parent ID. That means now these fields are going to be related to another parent record. So now you see them all update. So this is a great way to populate field or display field or even print values in fields without having to define them inside of your table.
So having a relationship between two tables means that you can share data both upstream from the parent, because there will just be the one related parent record and also downstream to the many related records in a child table. This allows you to have one location to store a piece of data and that one piece of data can then be shared throughout the database via these relationships that you are going to set up.

Summary: if our readers here are thinking of doing it, DON'T.
It is beginning to look as if I have been swindled also, since I opened a Forex account directed by Highland Stone Capital just 3 months ago. Today is 11 Aug 2011.
Not the 70% per year track record claimed, but loss in the account of 60% in 3 months; small gains BIG losses. Bad enough, but since 27 May 2011 there have no trade confirmations nor monthly statements sent to me. After multiples of confusions, switched passwords, etc. I finally entered the Windsor 4 Direct [Metatrader platform] to view the wreckage of my investment - 60% loss.
When I asked my FCTP Inc agent "VP at FCTP" on 3 May 2011 what was the relationship between themselves as introducing broker and the Highland Stone Capital outfit, he said he was tied up with a family health problem and he'd "get back to me in a couple days".
He has not called or mailed any reply to my emails or phone calls ... illness?, possibly. But he may just have been busy cleaning out all evidence from his desk and files.
I will name him later after I can do further investigation. Mr. VP's direct phone # took several messages in past month, but now it only rings with no message or recording ability. Mr. VP had my managed account with another firm that earned me some money then lost heavily "when the markets changed." At least I got the remaining cash back. Mr. VP kept in touch over 1-2 years, then told me of Highland Capital's well managed non-greedy performance, so I opened this account at FCTP.
Now their corporate phone is also a barrier, answering "automated attendent" with no name, hours, or Operator 0 except "enter the first few letters and #" . Well no match for Mr. VP nor for

Mr. Cranfield has never replied since he was involved in the initial account opening. I hope these names are not ficticious so there might be some satisfaction some day.
My next faint hope is that Windsor Brokers, Ltd is holding what's left of my stake, but they are almost harder to reach, with email addresses that get bounced back. I will see if their phones in Cyprus might work? Are they beyond US jurisdiction, probably? I only hope that the Greek government hasn't taken my money for their own pressing needs. I will try for a phone number at 3 am today.

I can not report as to the validity of their services but I can say that the owners and management are liars and thieves. They sublet space at 75 broad street forms November 2010 to the end of February 2011. When they left, they physically stole computer equipment. They did so while the person they were subletting form, was out with his wife who was giving birth. This is the lowest form of criminal. The main partner in forex capital forged letters and tricked the building into letting them remove computer equipment from the building that did not belong to them. They are operating their business on stolen hardware. On top of that, they bounced a deposit check for the office in the amount of 25 thousand dollars. To this point, they think they got away with the criminal act,, they will soon be very surprised. Luckily, the building was able to provide security video of the theft and the original sales order for all the equipment showing serial numbers and original purchaser has been located. Police have been notified and proper channels are being followed. I left out actual names out of respect, even though I shouldnt have any. I believe taking the high road is the best course of action. Please do your research before involving yourself with this organization that is run by people with questionable values.

By way of background, the complainant's wife was an affiliate working with the former employee. The complainant had personally requested that the report be removed from this site. Unfortunately, it is the policy of this site to never remove any report whatsoever no matter what the circumstances.
The investment vehicle in which the complainant invested was a managed forex account. The Highland Stone Capital managed Forex account currently has a minimum investment requirement of $50,000. [We] only do business with accredited investors. This alternative investment vehicle is an uncorrelated asset class which may not be suitable for all investors. There is an inherent risk in any investment. In addition, the HSC managed forex account is only compensated on a performance fee basis. Why is that important? Because HSC only gets paid when it makes money for a client as a result of achieving a new all time high on a monthly basis. The HSC has been rated in the past by both Barclays Hedge and Stark Research. Since its inception in 2004 it has never had a down year and has an annual rate of return averaging more than 70%. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The head trader of HSC was recently quoted in Futures and Option World Magazine's November 2010 issue.
Trust, integrity and a commitment to service may be mere words on this screen, but to us they are the standard by which we measure ourselves every single day. As FCTP continues to grow, we may stumble along the way, nevertheless, we are determined in our relentless pursuit to getting it right.

I have a shortcode that presents a form allowing the user to search for data in an external source. The shortcode will parse the submitted form parameters, run the query and then return the data.
All fine and good, except being a filter, the query of external source is run twice or even more often. :(
So, Google'ing about, it seems the correct architecture is for shortcode to have no side effects, just dump and form and do nowt else. Then use an init hook to process the form. That make sense, but where should the init hook put the results and how should the shortcode then get hold of the results and return them for display within a post?

"It's not as much money as we expected but it's certainly a doable amount," Bill Cram, an M. B. Kahn representative told the school board at a special called meeting last week.
Kahn is the company the school board hired to oversee the construction of the new middle school in the Liberty attendance zone.
Bedford County's supervisors voted, last week, to set a maximum price tag of $38 million on the construction of a new middle school in the Liberty attendance zone.
The school board unanimously voted, with no discussion, to declare Body Camp Elementary School and Thaxton Elementary School surplus and turn them over to the Bedford County Board of Supervisors. The resolution declares them surplus effective Aug. 1.
After a one year hiatus, Claytor Nature Study Center day camps are back. The center is offering week-long summer day camps each week, starting May 30 and running through July 1.
According to Dr. Greg Eaton, the center's director, the camps are divided up into two age groups. Nature Makes Sense for rising first graders to rising third graders and Virginia Safari, for rising fourth graders through rising sixth graders.
School board members made no decision on a site for Liberty High School's new gym, Monday night, after a public hearing on the gym.
The Virginia School Board Association's Southern Region held its annual meeting at Jefferson Forest High School (JFHS) Thursday night.
The architects and consultants working on plans for the new middle school in the Liberty zone now have direction as to what that school should look like, following Thursday night's meeting of the Bedford County School Board.
During a briefing on the progress of the design of the school, board members unanimously agreed to go with a more traditional look for the school -- one that incorporates a similar look to the front of the current Bedford Middle School.
In the seventh and deciding round, she guessed.
Through the first six rounds, Faith Peerman felt good about the words she had to spell – scrabble, macaroni, cauliflower, iguana, spherical and incorruptible. But in the seventh round, not so much.
"I guessed," she said with a smile.
And she won.
Peerman, a fifth grader at New London Academy is the 2016 Bedford County Spelling Bee champion.
A Liberty High School (LHS) art project is drawing attention to the new Army Reserve Center on U. S. 460. The students spent last Thursday afternoon painting some stacked hay bales.
Melissa Friedwald, who teaches the Art 1, Adaptive Art and Digital Art classes oversaw the project, which was done by her third period Art 1 class. Friedwald commented that she "usually doesn't get to do the fun projects."

- Combining multiple masks
- Using one layer to define the transparency of others
- Explaining the interaction between effects, masks, and mattes
- Mastering mask animation
Skill Level Beginner
Now that we have some experience in creating mask shapes let's put what we know to work, masking a different piece of footage and editing that mask shape. Again, if you have the Exercise Files in this lesson, open up comp 01-Masking*starter. If you don't have the Exercise Files, I just have two pieces of footage in this composition. One is the foreground, it has some interesting objects that I want to mask out, And the other is an interesting background that I want to reveal behind this layer I'm about to mask. Turn the visibility back on. Make sure my target layer is selected, so that I am masking the correct layer and not creating a shape layer.
And I am going to pick the Rounded Rectangle tool. I want to start by isolating some of these buildings. So what I'm going to do is going to click and start dragging until I can see the buildings and a bit of this freeway. It's kind of a nice arrangement. If I am not happy I can add Spacebar before I release the mouse and reposition my mask, but I'm going to put it right around there. Release my mouse and there is my mask. Normally your mask will appear in the Timeline panel.
If you cannot see it, M is a shortcut key to reveal it. Now when you're done drawing a mask is a really good idea to immediately revert back to the Selection tool. The Selection tool is your main tool in After Effects to do most of your editing. If you forget to, you might accidentally start drawing a second mask, but right now I want to edit my first mask. So I'm going to select my Selection tool. V is the shortcut. And you notice that I can see a Yellow mask outline around the shape that I drew. If you do not see this outline, a couple things maybe going on.
One is your mask may not be selected. So make sure it is selected in the Timeline panel. Two, there is a display option along the bottom of the Comp panel called Toggle Mask and Shape Path Visibility. If it's off, you won't see the mask shape and it's good to clean up displays just to see how things look. But if you want to edit that mask in the Comp panel you definitely want to turn on this option. And by the way this outline does not have to be yellow. You can control the mask color. Click on that color swatch. It brings up Color Picker and you can choose whatever color you want, but I'll stick with the default Yellow for now.
To move a mask shape, use a Selection tool, click on the yellow line, and drag. You can move it around your Comp panel. If you want to edit the shape of this mask, double-click that outline and After Effects will switch to what's called Free Transform mode. This allows you to transform the outline of the mask. Now as you hover your cursor over sides the mask, you get, for example, a double-headed arrow. You can go ahead and drag and resize that edge of your mask shape. Maybe I want just these two buildings or maybe I do when I am grouping three or even four buildings here to this side.
If you hover your cursor over a corner, you'll see a curved arrow, which means you can now rotate your mask shape. I'll undo. If you want to change the center of that rotation, you have a little anchor point icon while in Free Transform mode. You can drag that anchor point wherever you want. For example in this bright spot here and now when you rotate the mask will be around that Free Transform anchor point. I'll undo again. Double-click my layer. If I see just an outline and I'm not getting the special cursor, I am not in Free Transform mode.
You need to double-click a mask shape, get these additional mask nubbins to drag, and that how you can actually transform your mask. I'll double-click my layer again and get back to my normal mask outline. You can also edit individual vertices of a mask by selecting them and dragging them around. I'll undo. Normally, if you double-click a mask in Free Transform mode, all of the mask vertices are selected, so it may be hard to select just one. You drag the whole shape. If you're having trouble selecting just a couple points of your mask, one trick is to hold down the Shift key, click on a vertex to deselect that point, release the Shift key, click again, and now only that vertex will be selected for dragging around and editing.
By the way these corners or vertices are indeed Bezier paths. You have handles. We can go ahead and play around with them. We can do with that much more in the next chapter when we talk about using the Pen tool to draw mask shapes. Now I'll undo to get back to where it was.

Roasted Chickpeas
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 30 mins
I make this a lot. Great as a snack, you can give it any flavour you like by using different spices. When I am in a hurry I make it from canned chickpeas, otherwise I use dried chickpeas. Cooking time does not include soaking and cooking dried chickpeas.

- If using dried chickpeas, soak in plenty of water for 6-24 hours.
- Drain, cook in plenty water for about 1 1/2 hour.
- Drain and proceed as follows.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Grease baking sheet with the oil.
- Mix salt pepper and chili powder (or whatever spices you want to use) in a big plastic bag.
- Add chickpeas and shake until coated.
- Place chickpeas on baking sheet.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Most Helpful
I added garlic powder and it was pretty tasty.
I used more chili powder to the chickpeas. I used canned chickpeas. I omitted the salt for personal issues. I baked them 30 minutes. They were crispy. But when they cool, they soften. But it's still tasty and healthy. Thanks Chef Dudo :) Made for PAC Spring 2013
These were just OK for us. We felt they could have used more seasoning. I cooked for 30 minutes and they didn't seem done so I cooked for another 10. I think they should have been cooked even longer. I will try again with other seasonings.

RAW actress Charlene McKenna joined forces with comedian Dermot Whelan recently as they helped announce details of the Electric Ireland 'powering kindness' week. A new initiative aimed at encouraging more goodwill around the country, the end of the week will see some €100,000 donated to three chosen charities by the company. To take part, simply do a good deed for someone else and then assign it to either Concern, Focus Ireland or Special Olympics Ireland. The charity with the greatest number of kind acts completed in their name will receive some €50,000 while the other two will each get €25,000 to put towards worthy causes.
