Probably everyone here has been involved to some extent in the student revolt against examinations and grading systems. Many young people are not only disgusted with the whole structure of our life, but are even opposed to the vigorous pursuit of success. This nihilism arises in part from their correct observation that our successful technical and economic system is driving us rapidly and inexorably to the destruction of the earth's bounty and of its beauty. Logic supports the intensity of student reaction to the situation mankind has brought about, although one can easily disagree with some forms of the protest. The objection in medical schools to stiff qualifying requirements may be a spill-over from other areas. At least, in private conversations with students at Mount Sinai and other medical schools, I have found many of them to agree (sometimes reluctantly) that in preparing

Casa De Mi Padre - Release The Woman
Armando (Will Ferrell) tells villain Onza (Garcia Bernal) to release his hostage Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez)
Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial strains, Armando's younger brother Raul (Diego Luna) shows up with his new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez) and pledges to settle all his father's debts. It seems that Raul's success as an international businessman means the ranch's troubles are over, but when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit, the Alvarez family finds themselves in a full-out war with Mexico's most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal).

Q: I have two ferrets; one is Rudyard (3 years old) and the other is Jack (1 year). I hate to admit it, but it wasn't until last summer that I started to even attempt cleaning my boys' teeth. I started this because I read that the older a ferret gets the more important it is to have their teeth cleaned up. I also read that twice a week is a pretty good average for teeth cleaning.
Anywho, it's really hard! First, they lick the "toothpaste," and then when I pry open their lips and attempt to scrub, they have a fit! Additionally, when I get too forceful and scrub at their teeth, their gums also bleed (admittedly, this has only happened once). But if I'm not forceful, how do I brush their teeth?
Rudyard really needs a cleaning, and I will probably end up getting them groomed by someone who knows how, but I would like to do it on my own at home.
A: Make sure you use a ferret-safe toothpaste (a pet toothpaste or baby toothpaste without fluoride). Both of these pastes are enzyme-based and don't require brushing to work. This makes it easier to start.
When I brush my ferrets' teeth, I put a small amount of toothpaste on the brush and let them lick it a bit. Once they like the taste, they start to chew the toothbrush. I don't often "brush" as much as I move the brush around as the ferret is chewing the toothbrush.

So I have followed the required processes and when in Mixed mode I try and enable URL re-writing and run the phpbb_seo/sync_url.php scirpt I get the above error.
Currently all forums are working and displayed in pre-mod style. Manually entered URLs in the URL re-written style do work.
So I thought maybe I had skipped the 777 cache directory & files until after installing the script. So I uninstalled, re-installed phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_install.php and tried enabled URL re-writing still no joy. Yes, the cache in the forum directory is cleaned all the time.

So here I found myself this afternoon, basking in the glow of the end of another school year, looking forward to some big changes in September, kicking back and have good chats with my co-workers. Reading the story as it unfolded, it was interesting to see the various stages of reports, overlapping, all quoting the tabloids as their source. Heart attack, not breathing, coma, dead at the age of 50. Those were the headlines I was reading. And while there have been many urban legends and rumors of his death in the past, just like Stephanie from Full House, Paul from The Wonder Years and your choice of Brady Bunch child, he was still alive. But this time it was real. He's gone. I will not meet a life goal of seeing him live in concert. Damn.
I spent the evening dealing with my shock listening to the thunder outside and scanning my set of Michael Jackson: Series One cards released by O-Pee-Chee in 1984. They're almost exactly like the Topps set except you've got the traditional English/French text and the puzzle cards are not stickers. Both the base set and the puzzle cards have 33 cards in them.
Below is a sample. Click here to see the entire set.
Base Set
Puzzle Cards:
There's no doubt this is clearly an 80s set. The borders are nasty but there's something about the variety of images that's, well, interesting. You've got the superstar Michael in all of his singing and dancing glory. Then there's the crying clown and the llama patter. I love that the set recognized his turn as the Scarecrow in The Wiz.
I haven't checked today, but under normal circumstances, this set has been available online for less than $10. The combination of plentiful stock and ugly design has left it historically not too enticing.

In the following video, Fool.com contributor Maxxwell Chatsko updates investors on Solazyme's (NASDAQ: TVIA ) huge cash position. When the developmental stage company released first-quarter earnings earlier this month, investors learned that cash and cash equivalents stood at $239 million. That may not be a large sum of money for other companies, but it can go a long way for Solazyme as it builds out commercial scale.
The company is still pretty far away from reaching its targeted capacity additions over the next several years. Solazyme will have a global operational capacity of just over 125,000 metric tons by mid-2015, with an additional 325,000 metric tons of capacity on the way in the next several years. Investors are right to enjoy the cash hoard at the company, but should remember that substantially more money will be needed in the next few years.

I spent the morning in Orono. I noticed the sign for the Orono Thrift Shop and that it was open today so I had to go check it out. I like visiting shops like this because you never know what you will find. What I like about the Orono Thrift Shop is that the proceeds go to Orono Health Association to support various charitable causes which is clearly displayed when you are checking out. Everything is marked at affordable prices. The shop is located on Birch Street in Orono near the public library on the second floor. There is a room full of clothes and another with items ranging from kids toys to kitchen stuff. I found old bottles for a quarter apiece that had Portland, ME etched on them.

Today I decided to go check out the new bakery that my friends have been mentioning as a great place to grab lunch. Massimo's Breads opened last week on 130 Hammond Street in Bangor. Its an Italian artisan bakery that has breads, pizza, sweets and sandwiches. Its only a few steps away from Massimo's Cucina Italiana up the hill. While I waited I got to try samples of their pizza and bread which were very yummy. I loved the design of the bakery which was beautiful and simplistic. The staff was very nice and the bakery has a cozy atmosphere. I ordered the campagna panini (turkey, provolone and basil pesto) which was delicious and a large serving. They also have assorted coffee and espresso drinks available. I would recommend this bakery as a great place to go and grab lunch and bring it back to the office and make your coworkers jealous. :)
Coco Loco on Central Street in Bangor opened today. Its a Mexican restaurant that has tamales, tostadas, tacos, empanadas and quesadillas on the menu currently. It seemed a little chaotic being the first day open in the kitchen but the food was delicious. I am hoping this becomes a great place for locals to stop by for lunch. From what I heard Coco Loco will be open Monday-Friday 7-2pm and is cash only. Curious what the breakfast menu will look like.

HOMETOWN: Hendersonville, Tenn.
WHY YOU KNOW HER: She's up for best new female vocalist at the Academy of Country Music Awards on May 15, and her crossover hit "Tim McGraw" won Breakthrough Video of the Year at the 2007 CMT Music Awards.
She's spent her teen years in Tennessee, but as a child she lived on a Christmas tree farm in Wyomissing, Pa., with her stockbroker dad and homemaker mom. Hauling the harvest around took muscle, but one icky task required a strong stomach. "I had to look for praying mantis eggs [in the trees]," she says, "because if people brought them into their house, the eggs would hatch and there'd be thousands of them."
Sure, she sings, plays guitar and wrote much of her self-titled gold debut. But at age 10, Swift was her own agent too, booking karaoke contests and festival gigs. The next year, she took her demo of Dolly Parton and Dixie Chicks covers to Nashville. "I walked into the major labels and was like, 'I want a record deal,'" she says. "They didn't really take me seriously—I sang like a chipmunk!"
Asked to autograph a fan's stomach so it could be tattooed on immediately afterward, Swift says, "I said, 'Yeah, right,' and signed it obnoxiously big." An hour later the woman returned with the star's script tatted to her tummy. Swift's response? "I said, 'I really hope things go well for me so you can justify that.'"
Though she's now homeschooled, Swift milked the hallway gossip from her years at Hendersonville High for inspiration. "There was always some drama I could write songs about," she says. "Like my friend getting broken up with and bawling her eyes out or a guy being completely immature." Those lessons might be keeping her "completely single" these days. Explains Swift: "I can't afford to have my head messed up right now—and that's what happens with a guy!"

The Indianapolis Colts have released Peyton Manning.
There's lots of speculation as to why the Indianapolis Colts have made this decision. In my opinion, it was an incredibly stupid decision. The big question is whether Peyton Manning can still play football. If he can't, he should retire. If he can actually play, he should have stayed at Indianapolis for another couple of seasons and schooled the young rookie, Andrew Luck. I'm sorry, but I'm not buying all the hype that is surrounding Andrew Luck. I'm old enough to remember Todd Marinovich and Ryan Leaf. Both quarterbacks were surrounded with all of the accolades that one could ask for; yet, when they got into the NFL, somehow it just didn't materialize. Thousands of excuses were made. The bottom line is that these guys were paid a lot of money and were a bust. There are no sure things in the NFL. I don't care how great you were in college, that greatness does not translate into the NFL. Hell, Tom Brady was mediocre in college at best and is now a great NFL quarterback. Personally, I would take a Peyton Manning playing at 80% of his total capability versus any unproven quarterback.
I enjoyed watching this video of a blogger sneaking a metal object through the TSA high-tech scanners. He makes a compelling argument that these high-tech scanners are nothing more than window dressing. Then, he loses me. He talks about how we need to get rid of the scanners and go back to the old metal detectors and how we need to privatize the TSA. What? Privatize? His argument to privatize the TSA undermines the whole video.
Anonymous has taken down the Vatican website. It seems that this group is undeterred by several recent arrests. I wonder if they wrote their protests in Latin. Now, that would have been classy.
Bill Maher has decided to run to the rescue of Rush Limbaugh. Curious. Basically, his argument on Twitter was that Rush Limbaugh apologized and therefore should be forgiven. He also would like intimidation of Limbaugh sponsors to stop. I'm sorry he didn't like it. Rush Limbaugh's non-apology apology didn't start getting heartfelt until yesterday. Yesterday, we saw a real apology.
Michele Bachmann continues her delusional assault on ObamaCare. Earlier today she said, "Going with that logic, according to our own Health and Human Services Secretary, it isn't far-fetched to think that the President of the United States could say, we need to save health care expenses – the federal government will only pay for one baby to be born in the hospital per family, or two babies to be born per family. That could happen. We think it couldn't?" Pigs could fly. Beggars could ride. I could go on.
If you think that the media is manipulating this election, I think you're right. I think there are too many incentives for the media NOT to try to pump up Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum. The bottom line is that the GOP field is the weakest in over 30 years. Bob Dole, former Sen. and former GOP nominee for president, would mop the floor with these guys. Last night's suspense-less piece of theater was mind numbingly awful. Anyone following the selection knew how was it going to go before anyone went to the ballot box. Newt Gingrich was going to win Georgia. Ron Paul was going to win around 9% of the vote. Rick Santorum would take a couple of states. Mitt Romney would win Massachusetts and a couple of northern states. The icing on the cake was the small margin of victory that Mitt Romney was going to have in Ohio. Please do not tell me you were surprised. We've seen the saga many times before in this election season. Mitt Romney, going into Florida, had a huge deficit. He spent a ton of money and squeaked out a victory against a suddenly bewildered and unfocused Newt Gingrich. (Remember him talking about moon bases? How is that message disciplined?) Then, just last week, we had the nailbiter in Michigan. Mitt Romney was going to lose his home state, remember? Then, Rick Santorum launched into his Obama is an education snob routine and talked about the famous speech by JFK which made him puke. Mitt Romney opened up the cash register and somehow, just barely, each got a victory. How many times are we going to fall for this Charlie Brown, Lucy and the football routine.

The entry of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct into a duodenal diverticulum has been demonstrated with increasing frequency in recent years, largely due to advances in radiological technique.
Diverticula occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract. In the small intestine they develop in close association with the entry of blood vessels suggesting a gradual protrusion of mucosa through a weak spot so formed. Most duodenal diverticula occur on the inner concave aspect of the duodenum near the ampulla of Vater. It is surprising that the entrance of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct into a diverticulum does not occur more often. Less than 40 cases of the anomaly have been described.
In our hospital 18 patients with the abnormality were encountered in a period of eight years leading us to believe that the condition is more common than has been previously realized. Ten were male and eight were female.

PowerColor HD6870X2 Review
Published: 6th July 2011 | Source: PowerColor | Price: £300 |
The PowerColor HD6870X2 is quite a complex thing to sum up in a snappy few lines.
All of the press blurb relentlessly hammered home the fact that the HD6870X2 was designed to best the nVidia GTX580 and if that is the sole measure of the PowerColor HD6870X2 then clearly it's attained its goal.
Throughout testing the HD6870X2 outshone the GTX580, sometimes was up with the GTX590, and also regularly out-performed two HD6870s in Crossfire. This last bit is especially impressive as normally when two GPUs are placed on a single card there are reductions in performance due to power draw issues, or the need to keep the whole thing cool.
Speaking of keeping things cool, this has been far and away the biggest drawback of the current range of cards. Compared to the Radeons of old the 6 series have, almost to a man, been hot and loud. The PowerColor HD6870X2 isn't really either of these things when we consider how that we've got two GPUs to try and tame. It's not cool, our overclock was thermally limited more than anything. It's not exactly quiet when compared to any of the nVidia offerings. However if you are expecting two GPUs to be twice as hot and loud as a single HD6870, then by that measure it's actually doing quite well, even if it ends up being just as loud and warm. This is largely a product of the twin-GPU design more than a problem with the cooler, which is very good indeed. As you can see, it's not as simple as it might seem.
Performance is indeed excellent, and a single card will always be more energy efficient than a pair. You don't need a ton of cables off your PSU and even an ITX board can handle the card happily. However a couple of the results we obtained, Unigine in particular, weren't quite as stellar as one would hope, especially the minimum frame-rate of some games caused noticable stutters. Although we're not sure if this is related to the drivers which follow the normal Radeon problem of being just not as stable as their nVidia challengers. During testing the whole system froze on more than one occasion.
Finally pricing which, at the time of going to press, isn't officially available. We've heard word that HD6870X2 should be available for around $450 which should mean (with the normal conversion methodology of just replacing the dollar with a pound) a UK price of between £300 and £350. We'd hope it would be on the bottom end of that and if it comes in around the £300 price mark it's a steal. If it ended up being more towards the £350 mark then we'd definitely question it as a valid purchase despite its GTX580 beating. After all you can pick up a couple of HD6870s for about £260, so once you take into account the better cooler then £300 would be about right. So we'll score based on a retail of £300 and you can adjust once the price becomes available.
All in all the PowerColor HD6870X2 is a great performing card that gives high frame-rates across a raft of games. The huge heat-pipes on the cooler keep everything cooler than we expected and in normal use it's not distractingly noisy although under extreme loading it becomes both hot and loud.
However it's much easier to live with than many of the other Radeon cards around and for that it's deserving of OC3D Silver Award.
Thanks to PowerColor for providing the HD6870X2 for review. Discuss in our forums.

Nvida might even drop the price of the 570 or maybe the 580 now in response to this, they usually drop their prices when AMD out performs them.Quote
£130-40 x2 + the lucid on board chip.
totally forgot about this card in the mist of buying a new one.Quote
Very nice review Bryan, I agree that the heat pipes could do with a little bit of elbow greece. Do you have the poor crossfire in unigine down to drivers or poor compatibility? Seems odd that it can't compete with 6870CF when that's exactly what it is..
So I think it's probably a driver issue, but it's equally possible that only in very extreme loadings (and Unigine is fearsome) does the limitations of the dual-GPU single-card solution become apparent.Quote
btw newegg has it for $519Quote
Nice card with good perfomance.
I was hoping a better price, maybe cheaper than two 6870's, was it too much to ask?
I was waiting for a 6870x2 review, this is the first I see on the net, thanks oc3d!Quote
that being said if they are £300 its going to be hard to ignore these when they hit the shelves.
oh yea xD
Okay. Um... Had wooden teeth, chased Moby .Quote
Wish the PCB was a different caller though.
Would have seriously considered this with a Z68 sniper but you know what they say about red and green Quote
Ti. That's the only SLI GTX560s we've reviewed and at the time the non-Ti version wasn't around. They are the MSI ones.
Thanks, Bryan. I asked because I would have been surprised if it was the "non TI" performing that well. It could cause confusion and make some think that the 560 was that fast.Quote
To be honest I am unsure. The Crossfire performance in a title such as Warhead or Metro was good enough to believe that it's working okay. 3DM11 is akin to Unigine in that it's very shader heavy, but that did well too.
So I think it's probably a driver issue, but it's equally possible that only in very extreme loadings (and Unigine is fearsome) does the limitations of the dual-GPU single-card solution become apparent.
I had the 4870x2 and it was a room heater, big and ugly. Until i water cooled it. Now I have the nVidia GTX470 and I am happy with it. I liked the review, especially graphs and I like the card to be honest. I don't like the temps and would like to se better designed cooling like Asus does it. End. Cya.Quote
It was going to my 470 that made me realise you are always better off with a single powerful gpu. I would never rely on the incoming 295 but I have heard that the 590 has no micro stutter issues at all so I am quite hopeful about it. In DX10.1 it hit both Tropics and Heaven out of the park, breezing past a 480 so I would assume it was due to the drivers..
Radeon issues are always the drivers man. I really hoped with the massive success of the 5 series Rads they would have improved, but it was like stepping back to 2005 Quote

It took Haiti's own native son to lift Friday evening's despairing tone to one of hope and even revival as the two-hour broadcast came to a close.
"Enough of this moping, man, let's rebuild Haiti, let's show 'em how we do it where we come from!" Wyclef Jean, the singer and producer, shouted after singing the downbeat "Rivers of Babylon," with a Haitian flag around his neck.
He segued into the joyful tune "Yele" with an island beat, as musicians danced around him, singing the refrain: "Earthquake, we see the earth shake, but the soul of the Haitian people will never break!"
Jean showcased the resilient spirit of a nation in the midst of catastrophe. On Jan. 12, a powerful earthquake struck the already impoverished country, killing an estimated 200,000 people, displacing many more and reducing much of Haiti to ruins.
The telethon, shown on all the major networks and streamed live on many Web sites, was quickly put together by George Clooney and MTV Networks, along with the help of others, to raise millions of dollars for the Caribbean country.
The list of participating celebrities rivaled any top awards show: Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt, former President Clinton, Muhammad Ali, Beyonce, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Halle Berry, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, Dave Matthews, Neil Young, Julia Roberts and many more.
Luminaries like Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, Ringo Starr and Reese Witherspoon worked the phone banks, talking to donors.
"Hey, Steven Spielberg, it's really cool to talk to you," one woman caller said to the Academy Award-winning filmmaker.
John Mayer called in a $500,000 donation before the telethon began, according to a representative for MTV. Officials did not have an immediate total for the relief funds raised by the telethon.
Some stars like Matt Damon and Clint Eastwood recounted tragic moments from the quake. They paid tribute to the approximately 70 Port-Au-Prince-based U.N. workers killed in the quake, and the scores of workers and volunteers from nonprofit organizations that had already been helping in Haiti before the disaster.
Denzel Washington offered inspirational words about the positive impact people can make with their donations.
Most of the musical performances were downcast, emotional songs. John Legend sang "I Feel Like A Motherless Child." Kid Rock, Keith Urban and Sheryl Crow sang "Lean On Me." Beyonce, with Coldplay's Chris Martin backing her on piano, revised her hit "Halo" with new lyrics: "Haiti, we can see your halo, we pray you won't fade away."
Madonna provided one of the few upbeat moments with her choir-backed performance of "Like A Prayer."
Another highlight was Sting's reggae-jazz reading of The Police hit "Driven to Tears," backed by The Roots.
Jay-Z, Rihanna and U2's Bono and The Edge debuted a new song, "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)," as Jay-Z rapped from London: "When the sky falls, and the earth quakes, we gon' put this back together, we won't break."
The telethon was broadcast live from New York, London, Los Angeles and Haiti, where CNN's Anderson Cooper interviewed quake victims and anchored news clips of the tragedy.
Haitians were able to listen on Radio One Haiti.
A crowd made up mostly of Haiti's wealthier elite gathered Friday night at Break Time restaurant, one of the few still open in Port-au-Prince, and one of the only places residents could watch the telethon.
Owner Patrick Alexis said he enjoyed seeing the celebrities but was skeptical the money would get to people who need it.
"It's easy to do a telethon on behalf of the Haitian people, but who will really get the money? I know my country, I know my people, I know the leaders," he said.
Rabbel Bertrand, 16, who was heading to New Jersey to because his school collapsed, was surprised by the attention on his country.
"I didn't realize all those celebrities knew Haiti. When you talk about Haiti, people usually just talk about the bad things," Bertrand said.
Viewers can purchase performances from the evening on Saturday by way of iTunes for 99 cents, with those proceeds going to relief aid as well.
Friday night's telethon won't be the last major celebrity effort for Haiti; BET plans to hold its own all-star telethon on Friday, Feb. 5, with Diddy and Queen Latifah as hosts. It will also be aired on MTV and VH1.
Associated Press Writer Mike Melia in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, contributed to this report.
UPDATED 2 p.m. Friday:
NEW YORK (AP) - Beyonce, Madonna and Rihanna have been added as musical performers to Friday's multi-network "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon, joining such heavyweights as Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Coldplay and Keith Urban.
Among the celebrity participants are former President Bill Clinton, Denzel Washington, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, , Ellen DeGeneres, Halle Berry, Muhammad Ali, Clint Eastwood and Reese Witherspoon.
The two-hour telethon will be shown on all the major networks and a host of other channels starting at 5 p.m. Pacific time. It will be broadcast from New York, London, Los Angeles and Haiti.
An estimated 200,000 people were killed after a powerful earthquake struck Haiti Jan. 12, devastating the nation. The telethon is designed to raise funds for immediate relief and rebuilding.
"It's a big world out there, and we all have a lot of responsibility to look out for people who can't look out for themselves," telethon organizer George Clooney said in an MTV interview that aired Thursday night. "So what we can do is first and foremost, raise money. Period. That's it ...
"If I thought we could all pick up shovels and go in there and help without being in the way, I think a lot of people would do that," said Clooney, who will co-host the telethon with musician Wyclef Jean.
Jean, a Haitian native, is also among the performers and will lead the New York broadcast. CNN's Anderson Cooper will add reports from Haiti.
A statement released Thursday said Beyonce would perform from London, and Madonna from New York City.
Rihanna says she will perform a new song called "Stranded" with rapper Jay-Z and U2's The Edge and Bono on the telethon in London.
During the taping of a Norwegian talk show in Oslo on Thursday, the R&B superstar said she feels drawn to the cause because of Haiti's proximity to her home country of Barbados.
"In the Caribbean, we think of ourselves as one big family, one country," Rihanna told the host of the show, Fredrik Skavlan. "We're all together. We all represent each other."
She said she felt "great sadness" when thinking about the humanitarian disaster that struck Haiti following the earthquake.
"It's like it happened to Barbados," she said.
People can begin donating even before the start of the 8 p.m. EST concert via phone and text.
Starting Saturday, viewers can also download musical performances from the show via iTunes for 99 cents. Those profits will also be donated to Haiti relief.
Also Thursday, DiCaprio announced he was donating $1 million to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, the relief effort led by former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and one of the organizations benefiting from the telethon.

The term "acidosis" designates the lowering of the alkali reserve of the body caused by abnormal production or retention of acids. The types of acidosis most clearly distinguished are: (1) the acetone-body type, due to aceto-acetic and betahydroxybutyric acids; and (2) the phosphoric acid type, due to to the retention of acid phosphate. In this paper, evidence for the existence of a type of acidosis due to lactic acid will be presented.
The most generally accepted view at present regarding the origin and fate of lactic acid in the tissues appears to be the following: whenever the tissues perform mechanical work, d-lactic acid is suddenly formed from a precursor, lactacidogen (apparently a derivative of hexosediphosphoric acid) and the alkali reserve in the active tissues falls. During the ensuing period of rest, the lactic acid normally is removed in several ways: (1) by oxidation, (2) by synthesis to glycogen or

Sophia has been learning a few sight words (see, a, I, and and the), so we tried this easy little game.
I wrote a few sight words on the whiteboard. I called out a sight word and Sophia ran to erase it. She had so much fun with this very simple task. I wasn't really sure if she was solid in these 5 sight words, but this little "assessment" showed me that she indeed knows all of them:)

Pat Shingleton: "Confusing Percentages..."
In 2009, The American Meteorological Society noted that using percentages to forecast precipitation is a "confusing constant" for the general public. This prediction percentage was implemented in the late 60's with three psychological studies initiated by the University of Washington. The research respondents, college undergraduates, did not understand forecasts denoting percentages. Most of the participants believed a portion of an area or designated time period would receive a percentage of precipitation. When this system of forecasting was designed by the National Weather Service it outlined that within "a certain forecast area and during a forecast period "measurable" precipitation would be predicted by using a percentage."

SMYRNA - Tennessee House of Representatives candidate, Richard Garvin, announced he has signed Americans for Tax Reform's Taxpayer Protection Pledge.
This is a solemn pledge to oppose and vote against any unnecessary tax increase as an elected official. This pledge by Garvin is made to the constituents of Tennessee's new 37th House District, which contains north La Vergne, north Smyrna and northwest Murfreesboro.
"Today I am honored to stand with Americans For Tax Reform, and I support their fight against unnecessary taxation from our government on the federal as well as the state level," Garvin said. "When I'm elected to the state legislature, I will oppose any tax increases and I will stand up for small businesses and our families."
The Taxpayer Protection Pledge was first signed by Ronald Reagan in 1986 and has become the standard for candidates that are true fiscal conservatives and believe in limited government on both the state and federal level.
Garvin also stated, "When elected, I will work to ensure that Rutherford County stays at the forefront of job creation by opposing a state income tax. The last thing Tennesseans need is more taxation. Therefore I am proud to have signed the Taxpayers Protection Pledge."

• Indomethacin sodium promotes closure of the patent ductus arteriosus in premature infants. In addition to renal and gastrointestinal side effects, indomethacin may predispose to infection because of inhibition of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function. We retrospectively assessed the incidence of sepsis in a group of 58 premature infants with patent ductus arteriosus who received either oral indomethacin, surgery, or usual medical management. A significant increase in the incidence of sepsis was observed in the indomethacin-treated group compared with patients treated with surgery or usual medical management (seven of 31 vs one of 27). All episodes of sepsis occurred within one week of therapy. Patients in the indomethacin group who developed sepsis were less mature, had more gastrointestinal symptoms, and were less likely to survive than nonseptic indomethacin-treated patients. Nine patients studied prospectively showed no difference in PMN chemotaxis and adherence before and after indomethacin administration. Neither adult nor neonatal cord PMN chemotaxis was inhibited following in vitro incubation with concentrations of indomethacin ranging from 1 to 1000 mg/L. Bactericidal activity of neonatal cord neutrophils was also unaffected by concentrations of indomethacin from 1 to 200 mg/L. These results suggest that oral indomethacin administration may predispose the very-low-birth-weight infant to the development of sepsis shortly after therapy is begun although the mechanism remains unclear.

Session 44 - Double Stars.
Display session, Thursday, January 08
Exhibit Hall,
We present results of a \approx30 ksec ASCA X-ray observation of the unusual Wolf-Rayet star AS431 (= WR147). Infrared observations have revealed a 2.2 micron source located \approx0.''6 north of the optical WN8 star, which is possibly a companion. Nonthermal radio emission has been detected at a position nearly coincident with the IR source, but its origin is not yet understood. Our objective was to place tighter constraints on the origin of the X-ray emission that was originally detected by Einstein, with emphasis on discriminating between wind shock models and models that postulate accretion onto a compact companion. The ASCA spectra cover the energy range 0.5 - 10 keV, but are heavily absorbed below \sim1 keV with a derived column density of N_H \approx 10^22.3 cm^-2. Roughly half of the observed flux emerges at energies above 4 keV. Emission lines are present, and spectral models show a strong contribution from plasma over a broad range of temperatures from \leq0.4 keV up to at least \approx2 keV. No X-ray variability was detected down to a time resolution of 512 s. The absorption-corrected X-ray lumimosity is L_x (0.5 - 10 keV) = 6 \times 10^32 ergs s^-1 at a distance of 630 pc. We will discuss these new X-ray results in the context of wind shock and compact companion models.

Even so, the surprise she initially expressed upon learning her fate still resonates.
"The only shocking thing about it, for me, was the way in which it all went down," the season 7 mirror ball trophy winner, 42, wrote on Thursday on her Modern Mom blog. "Finding out that I would not be returning to the ballroom just weeks before the premiere was quite a shake up. I would have appreciated a heads-up and the courtesy of communication, but we are not always privileged to get that in the workplace."
Tacked on to dealing with her own shock came the reaction from her kids, who were in the car when she received the call with the news.
"My son shouted, 'You got fired Mommy?!' " Burke-Charvet says. "I tried to explain the difference between being fired and being let go. Then he yelled, 'You quit!' I laughed at the fine line in it all. Then I did my very best to describe to my children the reality of change and the need to maneuver through it with grace."
The TV personality is moving forward, but still holding positive DWTS memories close to her as she looks to new endeavors.
"I made many friends, [whom] I will keep and support in every way," Burke-Charvet, who calls the former experience a "blast," says. "I had the honor to work beside Tom Bergeron, whom I adore and have great respect for. I learned many valuable life lessons and TV skills in the chaos of live television. I am very grateful for my time at DWTS and I'm never greedy – eight seasons was the perfect run."
Continues Burke-Charvet: "I will always celebrate my coveted mirror ball trophy and all that it parlayed me into. I'll never forget dancing in the arms of the brilliant Derek Hough and how he helped me to find the rhythm in my own world."
She also thanks her "funny and crazy fans" for their support through the tough time, ending with the quote: "The way in which you walk out is equally as important as the way you stroll in. That goes for life, love, and everything in between."

For every "like" on Facebook and every retweet this week, the retailer donated 5 pounds of food to help fill two semitrailers set up at State Fair Park and in Oak Creek.
On Friday, Meijer dropped off the food at Feeding America on 17th Street and Fond du Lac Avenue on Milwaukee's north side.
"We're so encouraged to see the high level of engagement of the community on this campaign. We so look forward to future opportunities as we open stores in the area to continue to be a part of this," Meijer President J.K. Symancyk said.
Meijer also gave Feeding America the two semitrailers it used to collect the food.

Durant was the pilot of Black Hawk helicopter Super Six Four that was fired upon and subsequently brought down during a combat operation in Mogadishu, Somalia on October 3, 1993. After a horrific street battle, he was overrun by a crazed mob, captured, and held prisoner for 11 days. He was badly injured, suffering from gunshot wounds and a broken back, leg, and face. His image as a POW was seen around the world on the cover of TIME, Newsweek, US News and World Report, and all other television and media outlets. The events of that day were recounted in Mark Bowden's best-selling book Black Hawk Down and Ridley Scott's Academy Award-winning movie of the same name. Today, Durant is the New York Times best-selling author of In the Company of Heroes and The Night Stalkers and the president and chief executive officer of Pinnacle Solutions.

Hot Rods were slowed to a standstill at the 43rd annual Gatornationals as rain delayed the NHRA event till Monday morning. Officials worked several hours trying to dry the track, but every time the race looked like it was clear of the weather, more showers continued to fall on the Auto-Plus Raceway at Gainesville. Competition is scheduled to resume at 10am, starting with the semifinal round in Top Fuel. The event will be followed by the semfinals in Funny Car, Pro Stock Car, and Pro Stock Motorcycle. All patrons with a ticket from Sunday will be able to attend the event at no additional cost.

I got to finish this project by tomorrow, but I really don't know how to. If I don't finish it by Friday, I will be doomed:( I don't understand java AT ALL, I AM A JAVA IDIOT. Please help me finish the project! your help will be appreciated!
The project is Reversewords.
We have to design a function that will take a string of words and hand it back to the caller with all the words reversed (E.g. "i like you" becomes "you like i"). Use two nested for loops in the routine to get your result. Afterwards, in the main, continue asking the user for a sentence- or just type return to end (can use while loop in main).
this is what I got so far.
public class Reversewords
public static void main(String [] args)
Scanner inputreader=new Scanner(System.in);
int 0 = sen.getLength()-1;
int c = 0;
for (c=orj; c>0; c--)
if (sen.charAt(c)=='')
String sb = sen.substring(c+1,ori+1);
system.out.print(sb)" ";
ori = c;

The Liz Claiborne Inc. board is standing by its man.
This story first appeared in the February 21, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Despite disappointing earnings and a lagging stock price, Liz Claiborne's board members remain behind chief executive officer William L. McComb and his strategy. Board members firmly dismissed growing speculation that they are questioning McComb's performance, and instead attributed the anticipated missed earnings not to problems with the company's strategy, execution or leadership, but rather to inherited problems, changes in the wholesale marketplace and macroeconomic issues.
"The entire board has confidence in Bill, and we are very clear on the path we've chosen," said board chair Kay Koplovitz, who is also the founder of USA Network and a principal of media investment firm Koplovitz & Co. LLC. "We know the macroeconomic environment has changed since we set the targets, but the strategy we've chosen is correct and the execution is correct. We realize we have a lot to do, that it can't be done overnight, and we are focused on meeting our targets over a three-year period."
McComb said Wednesday that the company is in a "quiet period," and therefore he is unable to comment about the board's attitude toward his performance or the company's earnings.
The former Johnson & Johnson group president has been on the job at Claiborne for about 15 months. It's been seven months since his July 11 investors meeting when he laid out the new strategy for the $4.99 billion vendor, which included divesting more than a dozen less-profitable brands and pumping investments into power brands Juicy Couture, Lucky Brand, Kate Spade and Mexx. Since then, the company has restructured, cut costs and jobs and decided the fates of 14 of the 16 brands it put on review, including Dana Buchman and Ellen Tracy.
Koplovitz said the board's time frame is based on seeing positive results from the strategic review by 2010, a period McComb laid out in July. The board last met in January and will convene again in March.
"It's too early to reach any conclusions," said board member Raul J. Fernandez, ceo and chair of ObjectVideo Inc., who also echoed support for McComb. "These things take time. He's just begun to execute on the divestiture and restructuring. It would be like declaring a winner in the first quarter of the game."
Of course, it's not unheard of for boards to reevaluate executives early into their terms. Just this week, Dawn Robertson exited as Old Navy president after 16 months on the job. In 2006, William D. Perez stepped down as chief executive of Nike Inc. after 13 months, and Mark Weber stepped down from the top role at Phillips-Van Heusen Corp. after eight months.
Sources point to this month's exit of Paul E. Tierney Jr., who had served on Claiborne's board since 1995, as a sign that the board might not be as unified as it claims. Tierney was close with McComb's predecessor, Paul Charron, but the company said that did not play a role in his exit.
"Paul Tierney has been a valued director of Liz Claiborne Inc. since 1995 and has contributed immeasurably throughout his tenure," McComb said. "At this time, Paul has other commitments that he feels will preclude him from serving the shareholders to the best of his ability, and while we respect his decision, we are sorry to see him go."
Tierney, co-founding member of Development Capital LLC and general partner of Aperture Venture Partners LLC, serves on many nonprofit boards, including chairing TechnoServe Inc., which he invited McComb to serve on with him. Tierney declined to comment Wednesday on why he stepped down.
Even with the board's support, McComb still has to contend with shareholders in the face of an $18.06 stock price. Wall Street sent Claiborne's stock down 18.4 percent Feb. 14 after the vendor warned that fourth-quarter and year-end earnings would miss expectations. The warning followed three consecutive quarters of 65 percent earnings declines.
"While nobody is happy with the outcome for the fiscal year, our faith in Bill remains absolutely intact," said board member Arthur C. Martinez, retired chair, president and ceo of Sears, Roebuck and Co. "If anything, the turbulent markets in the retail world make us realize how much we needed a new strategy. This company needed some dramatic things to happen to it. Strategies get tired, people get tired — we needed someone with a fresh perspective."
Martinez admitted he was disappointed in the stock price and the price the brands on review fetched, but said both were primarily the result of the marketplace.
"Liz is not the only fashion apparel retail company going through a difficult period," said board member Bernard W. Aronson, managing partner of ACON Investments LLC. "The earnings miss was not because of errors in execution or strategy. These are broad long-term trends, and to Liz's credit, we understood these trends and adopted this strategy to deal with it."
Aronson added that he thinks the bad news is behind the company, and points to progress the company has made with Juicy Couture, restructuring, cost savings, selling off less profitable businesses and hires like Tim Gunn and Isaac Mizrahi.
"The old strategy just wasn't going to work, and we knew a change of this magnitude would take time and have ups and downs," said board member Daniel A. Carp, retired ceo and chair of Eastman Kodak Co. "While we don't like to be doing this in the face of headwinds from the economy, we are very pleased with the results. We're watching it every quarter, and as long as we continue to see good progress, we are comfortable not looking at changes in the strategy."
Brad Stephens, a retail analyst for Morgan Keegan & Co. Inc., doesn't see a light at the end of the tunnel and worries the company will miss even its adjusted earnings projection of $1.50 to $1.70 a share for 2008. But even Stephens argues for patience.
"Absolutely McComb needs more time," he said. "The earnings miss proves how much his strategy was right: how vulnerable the company is to whims of department stores."
Analyst Jennifer Black said she thinks the board will give McComb at least two years from his November 2006 start date, and added that the board shouldn't shake up leadership during the planning for fall and holiday. Moreover, the impact of new hires — from Deborah Lloyd at Kate Spade to Mizrahi for the Liz Claiborne brand — won't be fully seen until the spring 2009 collections.
Until then, the Claiborne board backs McComb. "I have full confidence in our ceo, Bill McComb. I have full confidence in the team he is putting together, and I have full confidence in the strategy we are now implementing," said board member Nancy J. Karch, director emeritus of McKinsey & Co. "Unfortunately, we are in tough market times."

Gary Corby was born in 1963, and is an Australian author of historical mysteries set in the world of Classical Greece.
Long been fascinated by ancient history, finding it more exciting and bizarre than any modern thriller, Corby combines the ancient world with his love of whodunits to create an historical mystery series set in classical Greece. His novels feature historical men and women from the time as recurring characters, notably Socrates, Pericles, and the priestess Diotima of Mantinea.
Gary lives in Sydney, Australia, with his wife and two daughters. He blogs at A Dead Man Fell from the Sky, on all things ancient, Athenian, and mysterious.

How to Get the Most Out of a Group Exercise
Reader Comments (31)
Panel 3 was made out of deep-fried win with awesomesauce on top.
Hehe awesome
Wow. Who knew their workplace could have such solidarity?
Well done, went through all the archives in the last three days (Yeah, I could have gone faster, but I don't feel like skipping lunch) and it has been at least one laugh per comic. Thank you so much for all the laughs!
This is perfect! Just in time for our company's annual meeting. Fear and loathing in the conference room.
If they were being honest, they all would have hated his mullet
Panel four- absolute genius.
Sometimes this strip is funny because it hits so close to home.
If only all team building exercises went like this! lol
Ha! I like the way panel 3 sets up the gag rather than just dropping Star Wars references on us. Great as ever!
Wow, that Star Wars reference was so obscure I had to Google it. Bravo!
Losing your mojo the last couple of comics...
"Losing your mojo the last couple of comics..."
Ha, as if.
Doesn't Salacious Crumb have to make Jabba laugh at least once per day if he wants to keep his head? I didn't think MHB found Scott's jokes that funny.
@Patrick Mmm, agreed. Now I want to eat the third panel.
@JMS Are you kidding? This is the best one so far.
I must remember this technique for the next 'Diversity' class they send me to (*they* being the heartless corporate bastards for who I work).
I had to google "Salacious Crumb". So I will save you the trouble.
"One of the most annoying critters in the galaxy, Salacious B. Crumb was the favored jester in the court of Jabba the Hutt. The beak-nosed pot-bellied miscreant had a habit of breaking into a nerve-wracking cackle whenever the mood struck his flighty little brain. The creature had a knack for mimicry, and would pester many by constantly repeating what was said to him."
"I'm not your enemy! I'm your leader!"
The whole of Libya nods in sage agreement with Scott's response.
isit me, or any one else think Athena is kinf of hot?
Timing (Workmates + sarcasm / boss) = Hilarious^2
salacious crumb - i never knew he had a name!
Nerd alert! Only a nerd would know who or what Salacious Crumb is.
There ARE FEWER differences than you think.
Sadly, I didn't have to google the reference. I already knew who Salacious Crumb was....thanks a million!
The sad thing is, I knew who Salacious Crumb was without looking it up. But it made the laugh that much better!
Ha! Love the Salcious Crumb reference, and I love that you didn't explain it or even make any other reference. A true obscure statement.
This is another one out of the park, Scott!
solid gold instructions!
I recognized "Salacious Crumb" immediately but couldn't place it. As soon as my subconscious kicked in and remembered who it was, I almost choked on my water I was drinking; too funny. BTW, I only knew the name because of playing cards with my kids and they have a Star Wars deck. Truly obsure and multilayered humor.
I had a cat named Salacious Crumb. And her sister was Sy Snootles. You don't see their names very often around the interwebs. They were good film characters, but even better cats :-)
Well i feel dumb. I saw the name Salacious Crumb and thought Harry Potter, not Star Wars.
Salacious Crumb...
Googled it but when i saw it's image i remembered.
His job was entertain Jabba and literally do a good job to be alive

Rabbit spleen cells cultured in medium 199 with 20% fetal bovine serum or 20% autologous serum showed no measurable supernatant factor VIII (AHF) activity. In acellular control tissue culture vials containing medium 199, 20% horse serum, and 20% autologous plasma, activity averaged 29% at the beginning of incubation and 10% after 24 hours. In all instances, activity decreased to <1% by the end of the second day. In comparison, when initially heterogeneous rabbit spleen cell populations were cultured in medium 199, 20% horse serum, and 20% autologous plasma, a ralatively homogeneous macrophage culture was achieved by the third day, and measurable AHF levels were maintained for as long as nine days. Persistent AHF levels found in cultures but not in controls are interpreted as due to de novo synthesis of AHF by macrophages.

The system is a Packard Bell Model 755 with SiS 5598 on-board video
using shared RAM.
The problem is the mouse position indicator (X, arrow,etc) is 2 times as
far from the top
of the screen as the window manager thinks it is. When Xfree starts up
the X is at the bottom
of the screen and will go off the screen if you move it in that
direction. If you move the X
to the middle of the screen, and then try to move it off the sides or
top it stops at the edge of
the screen. If there is an xterm window at the top of the screen, it
will stay "active" until the
position indicator is moved down to a position that is twice the height
of the window below
the window. If it is moved to the side the window goes inactive as the
position indicator
leaves the window.
Has anyone got a cure for this, or can shed any light on the subject?

Greening Your SynagoguesGoals:1. Learn about ways to improve the sustainability of all activity related to the grounds and buildings of synagogues2. Set up a committee at your synagogue for implementing these changes3. Implement changes in synagogue policy and execution of all operations related to maintaining the grounds of a synagogueOverview: Protecting the environment and doing practices that are sustainable are not just good policy measures, but are also commanded of us by our Jewish textual tradition. The Torah teaches us that we are partners with God in creating and sustaining our world, so it is our duty and moral obligation to engage in sustainable business and personal practices. The long-term project provides ideas for congregations to implement sustainable practices in running the grounds of their synagogues to encourage and live out our ideals.Implementation: Most of the land that synagogues and other Jewish communities hold in trust, besides a few dense urban areas where buildings fill entire plots, is not built upon – but our synagogue grounds are walked upon, paved and driven over, played on, planted, and admired, reviled, or ignored. Are we being good stewards of this gift of good land?The choices that synagogues make about landscaping carry many serious implications. To learn more about how to make your synagogue grounds greener and for ideas of projects your synagogue can implement, follow this link to COEJL's website. http://coejl.org/resources/greening-synagogues-synagogue-grounds/ Program provided by the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life (COEJL) www.coejl.orgThe long term building project guide will also help you and your congregation figure out how to build green. The resources contained here are designed for synagogues now contemplating, planning, or involved in any kind of serious work on their buildings – new construction, expansion, renovation or retrofits.Numerous synagogues – across movements, regions, demographics, and sizes – have already made a meaningful difference for the Earth through their buildings. To get this project kick-started, click the link listed below to connect to COEJL's guide, which has numerous projects and ideas for greening our operational buildings: http://coejl.org/resources/greening-synagogues-buildings/Program provided by the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life (COEJL) www.coejl.org
