Lowland Rescue has been involved in helping people who have been affected by the flooding. Volunteers from as far away as Cheshire have helped Surrey Search & Rescue who have been working to evacuate people in Chertsey and Egham.
A sandbag flood defence is being put in place in Chertsey 'to protect other individual properties which are not covered by the flood barrier'. Surrey Police say they will also be installing pumps to divert water back to the Thames downstream.
This action could provide protection for properties in Hazlebank Road, Thames Close and Mead Close; an area of approximately 0.25 square kilometres and approximately 200 homes. A spokesman said: "This is about taking preventative steps to protect homes at risk and will not increase the likelihood of flooding to properties not currently at risk."
"We are continually assessing effective locations for deploying temporary flood defences for properties that are at risk of flooding but are not currently flooded. Unfortunately because of obstructions such as fences, vegetation, etc. it is not possible to run the flood barrier behind those properties on the north side of Chertsey Bridge Road.
"This work is being carried out to mitigate the effects of a possible rise in the water levels. If the water levels remain the same, we would not anticipate seeing any further flooding. It is very unfortunate that a line has to be drawn and it is not possible to protect all 2,800 homes within the whole community. The position of the flood barrier will not have any impact on the flooding probability of other homes."
Runnymede Borough Council has confirmed a sandbag wall would be put in place 'to enhance protection' in the Penton Hook area. The works were due to start at midnight on Wednesday night, and are expected to finish by around noon today.
They are proposed to be constructed in two parts. One wall of defence is to be constructed at the top end of Penton Hook Road up to the junction with Wheatsheaf Lane.
The second, will be at the bottom end of Penton Avenue down to River Road.
The agencies involved will include army, Surrey Police, Surrey Fire & Rescue and Environment Agency

A round-up of some of the other stories coming out from the flooding.
Firefighters have said they have been left with without little or no water kit, with one saying the situation is a 'joke' as they attempted to rescue people in The Creek, Sunbury. "We also can't do any-thing until a boat from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue arrives," they said.
Also Runnymede and Weybridge MP Philip Hammond who, like UKIP leader Nigel Farage, visited Chertsey on Tuesday, has said the government's flooding policy should be had once the waters have subsided. He said: "There's a separate discussion here about the policy on flood defences, dredging and so on.
"Right now the issue is about what we need to deliver to people here and now, to deal with the emergency situation they are facing."
A chance for volunteers to fill sandbags will be starting at 10.30am at St Peter's Church in Windsor Street, Chertsey. Vicar, the Reverend Tim Hillier, said: "The support from the community has been absolutely fantastic. The water is about half a mile away from the church itself, so many people are living in fear of what will happen over the next few days, we need as much sand as we can get."
Meanwhile The Kitchen in Egham High Street will be open from 10am-4pm every day from now until Sunday (February 16) as a place for people to go to chat, snack and enjoy a hot drink.
The parish of Busbridge and Hambledon, while miles away from the immediate flood area, has able to come to the aid of a family of six with a newborn baby. The family had been forced to evacuate its flooded home in Chertsey, but has now been offered refuge in a house standing empty in the parish south of Guildford.
Parish priest the Revd Simon Taylor said: "We have a house here which used to house a staff member but is currently empty. I approached Waverley Council and they contacted Runnymeade Council who identified the parents with three children and newborn baby and offered it to them as free emergency accommodation.

Speaking of stars . . .
Fiona McCann
Anyone see Susan and Darren? The most heartwarming, vein-thrumming, uplifting show of this Fringe, for this reviewer at least. The eponymous mother and son stayed with me long after the strains of Barry White had faded (which takes some time, given that the deep voiced crooner has a show-stopping moment half-way through). It was the kind of affecting human drama that makes up for any one-star moments, and reminds audiences of why festivals like the Fringe are so important.

Suspect shot, officer injured in Rayne
By Howell Dennis
RAYNE – One man was shot and an officer was injured when authorities attempted to execute a search warrant at a residence on Malvern Street in Rayne early Tuesday afternoon.
According to police, the suspect, whose name had not been released as of press time, took off in his vehicle upon seeing the officers, striking an Acadia Parish Sheriff's deputy. Officers responded with gunfire as the man desperately tried to escape through a nearby cemetery and apparently had his car disabled by a gravesite. Several other gravesites were damaged.
"This case is still very much under investigation," said Louisiana State Trooper David Anderson. "We're still very much in the process of collecting evidence and trying to determine exactly what happened here."
Several angry residents poured onto the street and claimed that the suspect was just sitting in his vehicle when he was shot. However, the injury to the Acadia Parish Sheriff's deputy makes that version of events somewhat hard to believe.
The truck backed through a ditch and broke through a fence before going into the cemetery.
Police had cordoned off approximately six blocks in the neighborhood so that traffic and onlookers could not contaminate the scene.
As for the complaints of the suspects neighbors, Anderson said that all aspects of the crime will be thoroughly investigated.
"We're looking at everything," he said. "Remember this investigation is still very much in its initial stages."
The injury to the officer was classified as moderate, while the suspect's condition was unknown as of press time.

Not happy yesterday. At 1218 I was waiting for bus to take me to TAG and my computer class. It appeared from the opposite direction than usual and I was taken unawares as I was looking in the other direction. I walked home and OH took me instead. After the class I stopped in town and made enquiries at the bus station. No change to timetable or route so they suggested driver error. Caught the bus home and hang on a minute, it routed the same way as this morning and to make matters worse driver failed to stop at the required bus stop. I had rung the bell and another passenger and I had to yell at him to stop, which he did some 50 yds passed the stop. When we suggested he had made a mistake he was sarcastic and irrated. Letter of complaint was handed in today.
Can't remember if I told you that on the first day of the digital camera course I bumped into the husband of an ex RAF colleague of OH. Hadn't met him before. Went to do my voluntary work in town, and guess what, there he was again and he has made enquiries about doing some voluntary work as well. What a small world.
Nottingham baby wondering how to get back in to its comfort zone! :-) And Charing Cross baby testing its wings. :-)
OG If you look in again before departing for the Highlands, have a great time. Do wish I could be going too. Strathspey is so lovely at this time of year (at any time, really). I hope you will all enjoy Roy Dennis' talk in BoG - we always seemeed to be a week too early or a week too late for his talks. Will you be taking photos so we can all put more faces to names? Hope the weather continues like this. I have a dog obedience and agility competition tomorrow and am relieved that it's to be dry but worried about dogs getting too hot.
PATRICIAT good luck tomorrow, but can understand your worry if it is hot. Will try and remember to take my camera to the talk but will defer to OGs better camera work.
Dibnib - despite the bus going the wrong way at least you bumped into an old colleague of your OH's and again in town - small world - and he has said he would like to do some volunteer work - good outcome all round.
Sandra - lovely captures of the peregrine chicks
Patriciat - hope the dog agility competition goes well for you.
All - do hope you are all OK, enjoy a warm weekend.
Another blue sky day here and hot already so Dillon has had his main walk before it is too hot for both of us. Will go for a swim in about an hour.
Afternoon all,
Scorching day here as well with current temp 26.6c. Fortunately there is a bit of a breeze or I am sure it would reach 30c. Spent a pleasant morning in Stamford and went to Elton for lunch at the garden centre there. Hamish had an early walk and will take him again when it gets cooler in the evening. Saw 3 red kites on our travels this morning. Not a lot else going on. Hope you enjoy the Eurovision tonight. LOL

Son in Law is on holiday in Turkey temp 25c. Current temp here 27c.

Okay, Alan, I'm going to have a major whine and a whinge and a rant. Are you ready? ;-)))
It's 94 F or 34.4 C here today! And tomorrow, it's going to be near 100 F, which is 37.8 C!!! And it's not even June! Phew! I completed a huge shopping mission this afternoon, and the steering wheel of the car was painfully hot to touch. I burned my fingers when I put my groceries in the boot. LOLOL!!! I thought I was going to have to call Thunderbirds IR to unload all those groceries!
They are going to run the Indianapolis 500 Race tomorrow, and it will be the hottest race ever. I can't imagine being in that enormous crowd in that heat.
Enjoy the Eurovision tonight, everyone. I think Engelbert looks and sounds pretty darned good! And the grannies are cute.
Diane - I can't imagine how hot it must be for you! I do think, though ,that you guys are much better at living with the heat. To explain - up here in the Highlands of Scotland, when we get a few hot days, a lot of people strip off clothing, open doors curtains and windows and melt! Where I grew up, in SouthWest England, on hot days we kept the curtains (?screens?) closed, did everything we could to keep the house cool (in UK we generally don't have air conditioning in our homes) I don't know if people still do that, but it worked for us!
Just looking in again. A couple more pics from our holiday in Wales. Went to Ludlow and took a pic of The Feathers Hotel there, an old facade, and of the Black Bull Hotel at the top of the hill.

Heather: It's actually way to early for us to have this kind of heat. We usually have a bit of it in August. You're right that most people here deal with it well. Except me. I hate it! LOL! It's just good that I'm single, and there's no one around to listen to me swear and complain. Well, the birds. But they're used to it, and they ignore me. Well, the Kingbirds swear back at me. :-)))
There was a turkey vulture circling me while I unloaded the groceries. I think he thought I was going to perish. LOLOL I swore at him, too.
I know what you mean; I have all the curtains closed today, and most of the lights off. But I should thank my lucky stars that I have AC. I can't imagine what my poor ancesters endured without it. We are so spoiled today.
Hope you're doing okay, Heather! Have you recovered from your holiday?
the chicks are so well camaflaged against the stone background

When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

Buyers flocked to the garage sale looking for bargains, Conmay said.
Among those who gave generously of their time to make the event a success were neighborhood residents Ian Pinero and Robert Wolfe who collected for the Food Pantry by going door-to-door.

By J.D. LeipoldApril 30, 2010
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, April 30, 2010) -- The Army G-8 announced yesterday the release of the 2010 Army Modernization Strategy which sets forth Army plans to move back into balance through cost-effective development and rapid equipment fielding.
Speaking at the monthly Association of the U.S. Army Land Warfare breakfast in Arlington, Va., Lt. Gen. Robert Lennox, the Army G-8, outlined the 91-page document. The strategy sets overarching goals and objectives and then provides overviews of selected modernization efforts.
Lennox said the paper was the first AMS to explicitly address the changes the Army needs in order to continue with modernization and equipping programs that are cost beneficial and affordable. At the same time, he said, the strategy addresses how the Army can simultaneously continue to adapt to force generation.
Lennox added that the kind of things the Army was looking for were network investments in joint tactical radio systems, a ground combat vehicle capable of full-spectrum operations and UAVs such as the extended-range, multi-purpose unmanned aircraft system. He stressed whatever the system, it was imperative they be upgradeable.
Other issues included modernizing the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior for expected service over the next 10 or 15 years. He added that the Kiowa was presently being used in theater at a higher rate than any other aircraft the Army has.

He said seamless network was about empowering the Aca,!A"edgeAca,!A? -- the dismounted Soldier -- with communications and data down to the individual level. That can be accomplished, he said, by improving global positioning system capabilities so Soldiers can better navigate in reduced visibility. This allows the pace and tempo of operations to move significantly faster.
The breakdown of anticipated expenditures for the modernization strategy for the 2011 defense budget includes $10.3 billion for research, development, testing and evaluation. The Army has also planned for $5.5 billion for trucks and support equipment; $6 billion for aviation; $1.7 billion for weapons and tracked combat vehicles, $3.9 billion for missiles and ammunition, and $4.3 billion for communications.

First of all, it's "kernel," not "kernal."
Second, you should be using the Diab compiler to build OS sources, not
the GNU compiler. (Unless you cheaped out and didn't buy a Diab
Third, you're not supposed to use explicit CPU types when you build
for PPC anymore (it used to be you had to specify the variant
explicitly, but that was for VxWorks 5.5 and earlier: in 6.x, the
rules have changed). There is one top level CPU type for all PPC
processor types, called PPC32. When you build with CPU=PPC32 from
target/src, it will build the objects for all of the CPU variants at
once. You don't need to specify each one individually.
Fourth, assuming you have the _entire_ OS source code installed (and
you neglected to state explicitly whether you do or not), the right
way to flush and rebuild all of the OS libraries is:
% cd $(WIND_BASE)/target/src
% make CPU=PPC32 TOOL=diab rclean
% make CPU=PPC32 TOOL=diab FEATURE_SET=pcd ADDED_CFLAGS+=-g
% make CPU=PPC32 TOOL=gnu FEATURE_SET=pcd ADDED_CFLAGS+=-g
Yes, you must build once with Diab and one with GNU. The build with
GNU only compiles the GNU intrinsics libraries (i.e. libgcc). Wind
River only supports building the core OS with Diab nowdays. GNU is
supported for customer apps and the objects are interchangable with
Diab, but building of target/src is only tested with Diab (and there
are a handful of files that won't compile with anything else). You
only need to build with TOOL=gnu once in order to create the GNU
intrinsics libraries. If you need to recompile code in a single
subdirectory, you only need to do one compilation with TOOL=diab.
NOTE: you must not do an rclean unless you have the full OS source
available. An rclean will delete _all_ of the libraries under target/
lib/ppc. If you don't have the source code to rebuild all of the
libraries, you'll need to re-install to get them back.
Once you've rebuild the whole OS, if you want to build in a single
subdirectory, you can just do:
% cd %(WIND_BASE)/target/src/drv/end
% make CPU=PPC32 TOOL=diab FEATURE_SET=pcd ADDED_CFLAGS+=-g
Now, as for why you're getting a link error, it's because you
specified CPU=PPC603 when you tried to compile things before. If you
look under $(WIND_BASE)/target/lib/ppc, you'll see two directories:
PPC32 and PPC603. The PPC603 directory is _NOT_ supposed to be there.
It was created because you didn't use the right CPU type, and it only
contains partial libraries: instead of compiling new code and updating
the libaries in target/lib/ppc/PPC32. you created new partially-
populated libraries in target/lib/ppc/PPC603. The linker scripts
happen to find the PPC603 directory first when you go to link your
image, but since the libraries are incomplete, you now get unresolved
symbol errors.
To fix this, do the following:
% cd %(WIND_BASE)/target/lib/ppc
% /bin/rm -fr PPC603
Now I know what you're going to ask: "But if I should only be using
PPC32, why does part of the OS build use the CPU_VARIANT macro?" The
only place where CPU_VARIANT matters is in target/src/arch or in this
case, target/src/arch/ppc. There are some files in target/src/arch/ppc
that need to be compiled differently for each PowerPC variant. For
example, the cache and MMU implementation details vary a little bit
between from one PowerPC processor type to another, so the same code
won't work on all of them. Except for target/src/arch, all other OS
code is variant-neutral and you only need to compile it once: the same
object code will work on all PPC variants. (One exception to this is
software floating point versus hardware floating point: for soft float
builds, you must use sfgnu and sfdiab instead of gnu and diab.)

HARRISBURG - They were known as "random source" dog dealers.
They bought their animals by the hundreds from shady individuals known as "bunchers," who collect dogs from auctions, shelters, the street, theft, and "free to good home" pet ads.
Then, prosecutors say, the dealers sold the dogs to some of the nation's leading medical institutions.
Floyd and Susan Martin of Shippensburg were part of a federally sanctioned yet controversial method of procuring animals for medical research, known as Class B or "random source" dog dealers.

Egypt opposition leader calls for election boycott
CAIRO -- Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei called Saturday for a boycott of parliamentary elections, drawing immediate criticism from some within his movement who said it was a hasty decision.
The dispute showed the fragility of a fairly new opposition front forged after the deeply fragmented movement found little success at the polls since it led the 2011 uprising that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Opposition infighting would only help ensure that the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood group remains Egypt's dominant political force after the next vote.
"(I) called for parliamentary election boycott in 2010 to expose sham democracy. Today I repeat my call, will not be part of an act of deception," Nobel laureate ElBaradei, who leads the opposition National Salvation Front (NSF), wrote on his Twitter account.
The comment reiterated a frequently heard opposition sentiment that democratically elected President Mohammed Morsi is acting like Mubarak.
Morsi called for the elections in a decree late Thursday night.
Morsi's Brotherhood accused the opposition of running away from the challenge.
The deputy head of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, Essam el-Erian, responded to ElBaradei's call on his Facebook page.
"Running away from a popular test only means that some want to assume executive authority without a democratic mandate," he said of the opposition. "We've never yet known them to face any election or serious test."

DOHA: El Jaish SC introduced its newest home kit ahead of their first game in the Qatar Stars League (QSL).
The Club's new home kit is designed with a modern interpretation of football's classic style. The jersey, shorts and socks all come in University Red colour way that represents for years the club's identity.
The shirt boasts a classic design with a sophisticated white polo neck collar, two covered buttons with white high cuffs.
While this kit features Nike's signature style and passion for the game, it has been designed to offer players the latest in performance innovation, kit technology and environmental sustainability.
Nike Dri-Fit technology draws sweat away from the body to the exterior of the shirts and shorts where it quickly evaporates.
This allows players to perform at their absolute best by remaining cooler, drier and more comfortable.
The laser-cut ventilation holes and mesh panels featured in key areas of the kit also improves performance by increasing air circulation to the players' bodies and regulating their temperatures throughout ninety minutes.
The kits are made of a new dual-knit fabric consisting of both cotton and recycled polyester, which as well as removing sweat offers a softer feel and an overall more flattering appearance.
These kits have been created to provide both unrivalled performance benefits and lower environmental impact.
El Jaish FC new Home kit will be available to purchase in Nike stores across the region as of September at a cost of QR 379 for Men and QR 329 for Young Athletes.

Barney & Friends May Be the Biggest Kids' Show in Eons, but Some Grown-Ups Wish Its Dinostar Would Sink into a Tar Pit
This is the treacly conclusion of each and every episode of the (as Barney would put it) treeee-mendously popular children's television show about an imaginary dinosaur who—along with a cast of eight leapingly enthusiastic youngsters—romps, sings, plays, cavorts and otherwise eats up a half hour of airtime every day on PBS affiliates. The show, which first saw life as a video series in 1988, has an audience of about 2 million, making it the No. 2 PBS kids' show behind 24-year-old Sesame Street. That largely preschool audience will eagerly consume an estimated $200 million in Barney videos, toys, books and assorted merchandise this year. As the Barn might say: Sooooper-de-dooooper!
And yet, among Americans above the age of 3 or 4, a stinging Barney backlash has emerged. At just about any grade school lately, you can hear students singing (also to the tune of "This Old Man"): "I hale you/ You hate me...."
Grown-ups aren't much kinder. As one parent who also happens to be a paleontologist puts it: "There's never a killer asteroid around when you need one." David Letterman has compiled the "Top 10 Horrifying Secrets of Barney the Dinosaur," which include news of an indecent proposal Barney supposedly made: "Offered Fred Flintstone $1 million for one night with Dino." Then there's Jim Johnson and George Baier, the morning team at Detroit's WCSX-FM. For the past three months they've had a high old prehistoric time with their parody dinosaur. Arnie—Barney's illegitimate, low-life half brother who shamelessly bilks kids of their parents' money and sings ditties about dysfunctional families.
The dino loathing is carried to an extreme in the I Hate Barney Secret Society newsletter, a two-page anti-Barney screed written in a white-hot fury by Robert Curran, a Fort Lauderdale magazine ad salesman who says the Purple Menace made an addict of his 2-year-old, Michelle-Christian. "She would throw fits on the rug when the show ended," says Curran. The society's motto: Enough of this purple dinosaur crud!
What is it about Barney? Did anyone ever wish that Mr. Green Jeans would go berserk and brain Captain Kangaroo with a hoe? Maybe it's the cheesy production values, which make Mr. Rogers' neighborhood look like Beverly Hills, 90210. Maybe it's the numbing parade of badly lip-synched songs. And there is blobby Barnoy himself with teeth that look like white cardboard stripping and a voice (provided by Bob West) that suggests cake icing squeezed through a tube. For many adults, it adds up to ag-greee-vation. "I want to run and turn off the set when I hear the song," says Maggie Marchesi, a mother of two Barney lovers in Greenwich, Conn. "And those kid actors! They're just too cute and sweet. You can't help but think how much fun it would be to ruin their lives."
It would help, perhaps, if Barney had some of the pan-generational charm of a Big Bird. "I can watch Sesame Street with Willy," says San Francisco Chronicle reporter Steve Rubenstein, whose son is 2. "I can watch Mr. Rogers with Willy. I can't watch Barney because he makes me throw up." But that exclusive appeal is the whole point, says former Dallas schoolteacher Sheryl Leach, who created the Barney character in 1988. "We write the programs for kids only, on one level," says Leach. "We feel it's important that parents approve of Barney, but it-not important to us that they're entertained."
Even parents who hale Barney concede that their toddlers' happiness comes first. "Isn't this the time in children's lives when they should be insulated and protected and think the world is wonderful?" asks Nancy Novit, a mother of two in Lake Forest, Ill. "Would people rather we take our kids to Bram Stoker's Dracula?"
Of course not—especially when, to no one's surprise, there's a Barney movie on the way, perhaps as early as 1995.
It'll be stuuupendous! If you're 3.

Q&A with artist Jodi Staniunas-Hopper
Following stints with National Public Radio in Washington, D.C., and locally with WQLN and Cyberink, artist Jodi Staniunas-Hopper took over the graphic design department at Mercyhurst University in 1998, developing a major that focuses on website and publication design.
Hopper's one-woman show, "Concealed/Revealed" -- featuring her signature Luchadora masks, altered wedding wear and photographs -- is at Mercyhurst's Cummings Gallery. The artist will talk today at 6 p.m. in Room 114 of Zurn Hall Room; a reception follows from 7 to 9 p.m. in the gallery, located in the Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center.
Q Is there a difference between tonight's talk and a lecture for your art students in the classroom?
In the classroom I try to provide students with a variety of options to respond to the challenges before them to create personal inquiry. I might have them create a Pinterest board to investigate a problem, or a mood board, and/or a mind map. In my artist talk I am going to be revealing my process and my flaws. It's going to be more personal and focused on my works. Students and guests alike will be able to inquire about any aspect of the work, from the making to the concept.
Q What is the process involved in preparing for a show like this, particularly a one-woman show?
I am sure the process varies for every artist. For me, I am fairly pragmatic so I examined the space first. What would it take to fill the room with worthy imagery? Once I knew the footage, I could then channel my ideas more fully. My initial sketches morphed as ideas unfold. Some ideas really took off and others fizzled and still others were shelved for later. Once the masks are finished I envision the where and who of the photography part of my exhibition and set off about the execution of it.
Q Are you keeping in mind how each piece relates to others that will be in the exhibit?
Thematically, I am working with images of femininity (such as the wedding gown), gender roles and the idea that we, as women, wear different masks. Once we stop playing games and hiding we have the opportunity to live authentic lives. Within the exhibit you will see these themes addressed from different angles -- the housewife, the pinup, the model, the cowgirl -- all altered by raw material of the wedding dress. The wedding dress is symbolic of the princess motif that is historically placed in front of girls from a very early age. How does the idea of being a princess obscure a young girl's view of what is really possible for women?
Q What relevance do you hope your art has for the viewer?
I hope viewers are drawn in by the beauty of the work and then wonder about the meaning. Asking questions such as "Who is this woman? (and) How is she relevant to me?" I've always had issue with limitations on women, and art gives me the opportunity to comment on this issue.

In Vivo RNAi Screening Identifies a Leukemia-Specific Dependence on Integrin Beta 3 Signaling.

|We used an in vivo small hairpin RNA (shRNA) screening approach to identify genes that are essential for MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We found that Integrin Beta 3 (Itgb3) is essential for murine leukemia cells in vivo and for human leukemia cells in xenotransplantation studies. In leukemia cells, Itgb3 knockdown impaired homing, downregulated LSC transcriptional programs, and induced differentiation via the intracellular kinase Syk. In contrast, loss of Itgb3 in normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells did not affect engraftment, reconstitution, or differentiation. Finally, using an Itgb3 knockout mouse model, we confirmed that Itgb3 is dispensable for normal hematopoiesis but is required for leukemogenesis. Our results establish the significance of the Itgb3 signaling pathway as a potential therapeutic target in AML.

Mame Emulator
It's a cross platform, multi arcade game emulation system. It runs on Windows, Unix and Mac, and is open source in case you want to port it somewhere else. You download the emulator, then you download .zip files for the game you want to play. It does vector games (Asteroids,
, Tempest) as well as raster, and even some more demanding examples from the early 1990s (e.g.
.) You should find all your favourites are available as downloadable ROMs.
used to have all 3000-odd ROMs available for download but have had problems with a copyright holder, and, to protect themselves, have removed all files from their site. The game information is still available, making this a useful historic reference. I know of no other site with reliable links to more than a few of the available roms. It's a shame, really -- some of these games might not even exist as working machines any more.
NOTE: There are copyright implications! That's why the ROMs are a separate download from MAME itself. You're not really supposed to do anything with a ROM unless you own the actual arcade machine. There seems to be some debate about this, and some games designers from long-since defunct companies are apparently happy for their work to be enjoyed for free. This site takes a different tack:
-- they say you can download any ROM, but after 24 hours, you should delete it (whatever that means) if you aren't legally entitled to use it.
[I live dangerously. I wait 25 hours to delete my ROMs.]
A lot of ROM download sites say that.
, but even I can see that that's an
. Copyrighted software is just that - you're not allowed to copy it, at all. Since when does throwing something away after a day mean you haven't illegally copied it?
The theory behind the "play with it for a short period and delete it" strategy is that, if you are ever prosecuted for copyright infringement, you might be able to claim that you were doing academic research or testing interoperability or pursuing some other
activity. If prosecutors find 3000 ROMs on your PC, it would be hard to make such a claim.
That said, I still download them.
wants to be free!
Why don't the people who own the rights to these things sell legal Mame versions for a few bucks? Seems like they could stand to make some money, and it would satisfy those of us who take the law seriously.
A lot of the original game team members are no longer available to set contract terms. A lot of the original game publishers have gone the way of the albatross, too. If you can talk Atari, Midway, Capcom, Data East, and a slew of other game manufacturers into licensing their old titles you might have something. Or not. Atari tried to re-release some of their old '70s and '80s vintage arcade games through Activision, I think, and that didn't fare too well. We'll have to see.
As another aside: there was a game published in 1995 by Gremlin Interactive (now deceased) called
Slipstream 5000
. This was a way cool (for the time) racing game using hovercraft that drove through a series of courses involving tunnels, moving obstructions, and a bunch of AI racers that all had weapons and wanted to make sure you lost the race. I just recently tossed my copy of the CD-ROM because I could no longer tolerate the terrible bugs. Too bad nobody else has ever come up with a similar game. Midway was working on a space race game when I was there a few years ago, but they closed the division before it was produced. Oh, well.

Ending Taxpayer Subsidies for Oil Companies
President Barack Obama, The White House
As oil and gas companies make tens of billions in profits and the government scours the budget for savings, President Obama called on Congress to stop handing them $4 billion annually in taxpayer subsidies. America's oil production last year reached its highest level since 2003, but we need to invest in the energy of the future, instead of subsidizing the energy of the past.
After the worst recession since the Great Depression, our economy is growing again, and we've gained almost 2 million private sector jobs over the last 13 months. But I also know that a lot of folks aren't feeling as positive as some of those statistics might suggest. It's still too hard to find a job. And even if you have a job, chances are you're having a tougher time paying the rising...

"One highlight of the annual meeting is a just-for-fun hunting contest where we use our dogs to find, point and retrieve pen-raised and released quail, pheasants or chukar partridge. Though there is an element of competition in the contest, most participants are doing this for the joy of hunting with their dogs."

"Making fun of born-again Christians is like hunting dairy cows with a high powered rifle and scope."

"They take unbelievable pleasure in the hideous blast of the hunting horn and baying of the hounds. Dogs dung smells sweet as cinnamon to them."

Despite undergoing extensive treatment, New Orleans Pelicans starting shooting guard Eric Gordon sat out Saturday night's game against the Miami Heat because of tendinitis in his left knee.
Gordon was forced to leave Friday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks in the first quarter after having a flare up of the ailment, which is an inflammation of a tendon in his left knee.
It is the first time this season, Gordon has had any issues involving his knee. He's missed only four games this season, which included three in December for a sore hip that occurred after he took a hard fall in a Dec. 23 game against the Sacramento Kings.
The Pelicans list Gordon as day-to-day, but there is no set timetable on his return.He was not made available for comment by the Pelicans on Saturday night.
''He's done really well as far as being able to play in games,'' Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. ''He does a really good job of taking care of his body. He had a great shootaround yesterday (Friday) and he tried to come back at halftime and it just didn't work out. You feel bad for him because he's trying everything he can to get on the
Before his injury, Gordon had totaled the second most minutes on the team with 2,057, which trailed only Anthony Davis' 2,126.
Prior to this season, Gordon had played in just 51 games since he was acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers in 2011 for All-Star point guard Chris Paul because of recurring problems involving his right knee.
Last season, Gordon led the then-named Hornets with a 17.0 scoring average, but he missed the first 29 games because of a patella tendon disorder and bone bruise in his right knee.
During his first season with the team, Gordon missed all but nine games after undergoing surgery to remove loose cartilage particles from his right knee.
But his current tendinitis condition is less severe than his previous problems involving his right knee.
Pelicans backup shooting guard Anthony Morrow said he's had tendinitis problems before in his knee and it mostly was a discomfort issue.
''It was tough to make any explosive step,'' Morrow said.''It was so much discomfort, you can't make the cuts or moves that you want to make. It kind of goes away on its own.
''But Eric hasn't been hurt a lot this season. He's worked hard every day for us. He can get his shot and score against the best of them. He's had a great year for us.''
LOSING STREAK ENDS: With Saturday's 105-95 victory, it was the Pelicans' first win against the Miami Heat since the 2010-11 season. They had lost five in a row against Miami until Saturday night.
''We executed on both ends of the floor,'' Pelicans point guard Brian Roberts said. ''We got some stops tonight and some rebounds. We were able to limit them to one shot and come down and run the offense.''
SCORING STREAK: For the eighth consecutive game, Anthony Davis scored at least 28 points, a franchise record. Davis scored 30 points and grabbed 11 rebounds against the Heat. He's also had three straight games of scoring 30 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, another franchise record.During the stretch, Davis has averaged 36.7 points.
''My teammates tell me that they feed off me and want me to great every game, so that's what I try to do,'' Davis said.
LINEUP CHANGE: With Gordon out, Williams changed up his starting lineup.Instead of starting at small forward as he's had for the past nine games, Evans was shifted to shooting guard.
Luke Babbitt earned his first start forward and Al-Farouq Aminu also returned as a starter at forward and carried out the difficult assignment of having to guard Miami Heat star LeBron James.
Babbitt was coming off a sensational performance on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks, when he scored eight of his 11 points in the fourth quarter to help the Pelicans put the game out of reach.He scored 11 points against the Heat, making 3-of-8 3-pointers.
''A lot of times you have to earn your minutes,'' Babbitt said.''There are few guys that come in and are handed minutes. Based on the talent in the NBA, you've got to come in and earn your spot.If one guy goes down, the next guy got to be ready.''
NO PROBLEM: Evans said he doesn't have any problems occasionally playing point guard. For the remainder of the season, Williams said he's going to experiment with various lineups and wants Evans to initiate the offense with the second unit as the primary ballhandler with second-year guard Austin Rivers playing more off the ball.
''I definitely love playing the point and I love having the ball in my hands,'' said Evans, who scored 16 points and had eight assists against the Heat.

Evangelist Benny Hinn is speaking out about his wife's recent divorce announcement.
On Thursday, Hinn posted a three-page statement to his partners explaining that his wife Suzanne has no 'biblical grounds for divorce."
"I also want you, my very dear partner, to know that there was absolutely no immorality involved in my life or in Suzanne's, ever," Hinn tells his partners in the statement. "We both kept our lives clean and were totally committed to each other for 30 years of marriage."
Suzanne Hinn filed the papers in Orange County, Calif. on Feb. 1 citing irreconcilable differences. The papers noted that the two separated on Jan. 26. Hinn insists his wife's recent action was a complete shock to the family.
"Suzanne never gave the family even a hint that this was on her mind," he said. "Even to this moment, the children and I don't know why she did it."
The evangelist continues to ask his supporters for prayer for his family's healing. He says that any pending divorce will not stop him from fulfilling his call to ministry.
"I want you, as my partner in this ministry, to know that I am going to continue preaching the Gospel and praying for the sick as I have for 36 years. I will not allow anything to slow me down or stop me," he said.
Benny and Suzanne Hinn married in 1979 and have three daughters and a son. Hinn's healing and evangelistic ministry has spanned the globe for more than 30 years, including Holy Spirit Miracle Crusades, ministry training conferences,TV broadcasts, and more.
Ministry officials said they covet the prayers and continued support of Pastor Hinn and his family as they walk through this difficult season.

Four decades after Pepe Jeans started out in London in 1973 aficionados are still choosing to wear nothing else but Pepe
London designer Nitin Shah and his brother Arun and Milan were the guys behind the Pepe brand – they had a clear vision for detail rich denims to counteract the bland and anonymous jeans that were around at that time.
Since then Pepe has had a rollercoaster ride to the top with over 300 stores internationally and an audience who are inspired by the fashion direction Pepe take. Actually high seasonal fashion is what Pepe truly are about with celebrities like Alexi Chung, Ashton Kutcher and Cristiano Ronaldo fronting their slick advertising campaigns.

This is an account of a follow-up study of 1,102 "functional psychotics" treated in Gausted Hospital, Norway, who had their first admissions between 1938 and 1950. The purpose of the investigation was "to make multifactorial analysis of prognostic clinical, social, hereditary and physiological aspects of various types of functional psychosis." The study was carried out in the years 1956-1960. Only 130 patients could not be followed up for five years (75 having died within five years); 972 patients remained in follow-up group (five years); schizophrenic 664; reactive 206; manic depressives 102; 655 were personally examined at follow-up by the authors, 274 by public health officers and relatives' accounts, and only 62 by questionnaire to patients.
The schizophrenic group are defined as those with the following symptoms:
1. catatonic traits
2. emotional blunting
3. depersonalization (delusional type)
4. passivity
5. disturbance of symbolization
6. haptic hallucinations (somatic delusions)
7. special types

Samara Sabin, first-year coach of the womens cross country team at Kirtland Community College, is excited to get the upcoming 2009 season up and running.
The Firebirds will hold their first practice Tuesday, Aug. 18. The next key date on the calendar is Saturday, Sept. 5, when both the mens and womens cross country teams head south to Oakland Community College for their season-opening meet.
"This is very exciting, as we look forward to elevating the cross country program to next level," said Sabin, herself an avid runner. "But we have a lot to do to make sure we get off on the right foot."
One challenge will be to replace former standout Barb Council of Gaylord. Council paced the Lady Firebirds during her two years at Kirtland, shattering previous school records.
"Barb was a great runner and a great representative for Kirtland," said Doug Ryckman, athletic director at Kirtland. "She'll be missed. Still, Samara is putting together a nice team that should be fun to watch."
Currently, six runners have signed to wear the teal and gold for Kirtland. But, in needing to have five runners to score in team standings, Sabin said she'd feel a bit more comfortable with some added depth.
"I'd prefer to have a few more runners," said Sabin, who has coached basketball, volleyball and track during her tenure as a teacher for Crawford-AuSable Schools. "For one, it makes practices more competitive and everyone benefits from that.
"It's also nice to have a good team depth, in case of injury or illness. So, I'm really hoping we can add another runner or two before the season starts," she added.
One bonus for potential student-athletes is the availability of athletic scholarships.
"We do have some scholarship money still available," Sabin said. "This is a great chance for a person who loves to run to be part of a team, compete and maybe qualify for some financial assistance to help their efforts in the classroom."
Current or future Kirtland students who might be interested in the joining the womens cross country team may complete a prospective student-athlete form at firebirds.kirtland.edu/form.asp. They may also contact Sabin via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Volunteer, do something special for our soldiers this autumn. My brother and his family recently toured Vietnam and several other Asian countries.
He visited the cell in which Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain was held as a prisoner of war.
Living conditions there were terrible for Sen. McCain, and propaganda about the prisoners was profuse. The Vietnamese government even used pictures of U.S. P.O.W.s to decorate Christmas trees.

This journey was an eye-opening one for my brother, and he also visited underground tunnels used by the North Vietnamese for deadly one-to-one combat with U.S. soldiers and the South Vietnamese.
Today, the United States is in a different kind of war. This one is with terrorists, people who choose to use violence to hurt and promote fear in Americans and others here and across the globe.
My brother works on Wall Street, where the World Trade Center terrorist attacks occurred. It is with great joy that I'm able to speak with him every Sept. 11, giving thanks for his life.
However, my husband's former boss and his wife were not as fortunate. They lost their daughter, Mary Lou Hague, when the second plane hit the second twin tower.
After 9/11, I made several contacts with the West Virginia Nursing Association and WVU Medical Center to volunteer either on-site or at a hospital near the trade center. While nearby medical centers were on alert, there was nothing we could do since there were so few survivors.
I think of America as a wonderful place to embrace our freedoms and to volunteer for those who help to protect it - people like my husband's cousin, John Pickett, who was killed in the Vietnam War and my father, Bernard P. Wytko, a former P.O.W. captured at the Battle of Bulge during World War II.
When I visit my father's grave in Arlington National Cemetery, I'm thankful for the good company around him and try to think of ways to serve my country, beyond my job at home.
Sometimes I think about 'Taps," which played at my father's funeral, and the hot, July air that blanketed us at the graveside service. I recall my younger daughter, then age 4, running back to her Pap Pap's casket, standing on her tiptoes for one last hug. I thought about her running toward me, in her pretty, white dress with pink tulip pockets, full of life and hope.
In a way, she was my volunteer, helping me care for my father in his last years in my home. She'd swing on the trapeze on her Pap Pap's hospital bed as she ate popsicles, laughing and sticking her bare feet in my father's face, much to his delight.
Volunteers come in all ages, sizes, shapes and colors, and it's my hope that our soldiers benefit from a special project you may have planned.
Bill Dippery, Mifflin County Veterans Affairs director, said there are many efforts in place to assist our soldiers across the globe. These include providing calling cards, dry goods, over-the-counter medications, letters and cards.
Volunteer assignments also are available at veterans hospitals and centers across the country. Volunteers are selected according to the needs of the medical center, assignment preference and skills.
This autumn, as the leaves change color, please take the opportunity to volunteer for our soldiers to create hope and change in your own special way.
