Land of the Rising Sun - UK to Japow
Hi, apologies as prob not first time this has been asked so I will try a search but......me and 3 friends are getting old(ish). We've worked in ski resorts 'doing seasons' and can all ride to an advanced level.
We now have to make do with a couple of holidays (vacations) a year and usually venture from here in the UK to Europe or North America but next Winter 13/14 we want to do something different. Japan has been discussed over the years and this time we are thinking of doing it.
Looking for some advice about a) the trip in general and b) if anyone else has done it from the UK and what tips they have ie if booked all seperate or through a tour operator?
Im experienced enough to know we cant gaurantee waist deep pow although thats the goal and we want to go at best time for snow possible.
Looking to go for 10 days or 2 weeks due to distance and spend at least a few nights partying in Tokyo.
Any advice welcome, cheers
This Method Mag Japan issue is an awesome resource. There are two main options in Japan, Hokkaido which gets the most snow but the mountains are more like hills and the terrain a bit flatter. Then there's the Japanese Alps on Honshu (The main island) around Nagano where teh terrain is steepr and there's still a lot of snow. You'll probably fly into Tokyo, there are two airports there... from one of them you can fly direct to Hokkaido, from the other you'll need to switch airports. If you want to get to Nagano, you can hop on the Bullet Train. Best time to go is between Jan & Feb.
There is quite a bit of info in this thread.
And lots more in other threads in this section of the forum.
Asia - Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums
If you have 2 weeks I would personally advise splitting it between Nagano and Hokkaido for variation. Late Jan through early Feb gives you the best chances of waist deep pow.

Hokkaido, Japan 2012/13: Latest, snowHeads ski forum
Forget partying in tokyo lol, its not how the japanese roll. 2 weeks is a short time and you will get plenty of japanese flavour wherever you go. Spend your time on the snow
Yup, there isn't a single place to party in Tokyo!
White room party is where its at.
why dont you list some instead of just being a dick

Keep an eye out for MoDot trucks on the area's only diverging diamond interchange. Engineer Charles Sullivan says drivers have complained about faded stripes on the lanes of I-70 overpass at Stadium Boulevard in Columbia for most of the winter.
"We know it's a needed thing, and we're looking at it more as a safety feature, so yes, we're out there striping that," says Sullivan.
Sullivan says, besides faded stripes, he's only heard minor concerns about the new traffic pattern on Stadium at I-70, and traffic flow has apparently improved.

2014 Sheldon G Shore Lecture
The Sheldon G Shore Lectures
Dr. Sheldon G Shore
Sheldon Shore was born in Chicago in 1930. After completing his Bachelor's degree at the University of Illinois in 1951, he moved to the University of Michigan where he completed his Master's (1953) and Doctoral degrees (1957). Shortly thereafter, he moved to join the Chemistry faculty at The Ohio State University, where he provided almost 57 years of distinguished service.
Professor Shore's research has spanned vast areas of the periodic table, but perhaps he is best known for his pioneering work in the area of boron hydrides, metal cluster carbonyls and lanthanide transition metal systems. He and his coworkers developed the first rational synthesis of B4-B10 boron hydrides and one of his early compounds, ammonia borane, which had been predicted to be too unstable to isolate, was isolated by him and shown to be stable at elevated temperatures. It is currently a hot topic for hydrogen storage and release. He produced the first well-defined examples of boron nitride nanotubes, analogs of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. His mechanistic studies of the synthesis of metal cluster carbonylates and the water-gas shift reaction attracted wide attention. This work has been featured in current treatises on cluster chemistry and is also described in inorganic chemistry text books. His work on mixed metal clusters of lanthanide-transition metal elements and their conversion to nanoparticles has led to new heterogeneous catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone, hydrodechloronation of chlorobenzenes, and the reforming of propane. Dr. Shore is the author of over 300 scientific publications and 14 patents. He has received numerous awards and recognitions for his research. Most notable among them is the Chemical Society's Columbus Section Award, the Morley Medal of the Cleveland Section, the ACS Award for Inorganic Chemistry and election as a corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. The Ohio State University has also recognized him with the Distinguished Lecturer Award, the Distinguished Scholar Award, the Charles H. Kimberly Chair of Chemistry, and the Distinguished Professor of Mathematical and Physical Sciences Award. Dr. Shore received the ACS Award for Inorganic Chemistry in 2008.
During Dr. Shore's tenure at OSU, 91 students have completed MS or Ph.D. degrees with him, and many more postdoctoral fellows and visiting scholars have been associated with his laboratory, not including the thousands of undergraduates who have passed though his classes. Over a long and active career, Sheldon Shore left a profound and indelible imprint on the lives of the many faculty, staff, and students of the broader Ohio State University family that were fortunate to know him. The annual Sheldon G Shore Lecture provides an opportunity to remember and celebrate his achievements.

I would go for the linux firewall script. That easily be found by Google.
It only requires to network devices on your linux box. So the machine
needs either 2 networkcards or a dual networkcard.
Also for best functionality split your network in two different ip-ranges.
Wireless router and Linux box eth0 first ip-range.
Linux box eth1 and laptops in second ip-range.
Be aware that the second ip-range might need a physical switch or hub to
avoid direct internet access.
ad 1. No need for webaccess, can be needed for a "web nany".
ad 2. If you still wish to do so, squid is a Linux Proxy application.
ad 3. Iptables needs to installed, it is on your RHEL or Centos install
media. Linux firewall script is a configuration script for
ad 4. Depends on the requirements: a router only blocks ip-ports, it
does not block web content
ad 5. probably not, standard routers are no "web nanies".
ad 6. proxies can be configured as "simple web nannies"
ad 7. not necessary, for a Linux router it is the easiest setup.
ad 8. yes, to many to mention. The OSI networkmodel should be studied.
A gateway is a 7 layer translation, a proxy is an application, and
a NAT server does not fit in OSI (it is a tcp/ip device).
Kind regards,
Jan Gerrit

Q: I've had a male guinea pig (Max) for about 7 months but he is a year and a half old. Three days ago I got another guinea pig. She is a female about 6 months old. When I first introduced them outside of a cage in an open area, they seemed as though they were going to fight. Max was trying to mate with her, but she seemed uninterested. I separated them when I thought they were about to fight. Max is twice her size, so I know he would hurt her if they got into it. I'm not sure how to make them get along. I haven't seen them actually get into a big fight, but I was too scared to let it get to that point. Tonight, I have Max out on the floor and her cage on the floor with her in it. He keeps circling the floor purring, swaying his bum back and forth, sometimes she does it also. But then he begins chattering his teeth (she does it back sometimes). When she is in the cage, they seem like they like each other, but outside they seem to want to fight. What can I do to stop this? I am currently caging them separately due to fear of them hurting one another.
A: Female guinea pigs demonstrate disinterest toward males when not in estrous. When they are not in estrous, they look at the male as their equal more or less and as a roommate, not a mate. As they would do when introduced with a female, they want to establish who will rule the roast within the environment with the other guinea pig.
Now this guinea pig happens to be a male, but male or not one will have to be dominant. Your female sounds as if she wants to dominate, posturing by purr rumble strutting as the male is doing back to her. If one does not allow the other to mount in a nonsexual but dominating posture, then there will be fighting.
Your pair does not sound like they will be able to get along for any period of time together. You are correct in believing that the female will more than likely be hurt because she is going to fight back. She is not going to allow herself to be dominated by the male. This feeling may change one day a month when she is cycling or every 17 days for 24 hours but the behavior will return the other days of the week.
Having your guinea pigs out in a large space, with constant supervision, may be the way you will have to keep this pair. The other possibility is having the male neutered, but in most cases of neutering it will not change the demeanor of the male; it will only eliminate his ability to procreate.
If your female guinea pig does not like him now, she will more than likely not ever like him. He is simply not her type.

It all goes – surprise surprise – a bit tits up after that, so before long you're getting stuck into densely packed corridors of enemies and dodging bullets over the rooftops of Hong Kong. It's all greys, neon and angles, with you scrambling for (ideally) a shotgun to take out the swarm of enemies congregating on your position.
One of the biggest problems, though, is on-screen text. This is fixed to the front plane of display, but it's a 2D image stuck in a 3D world. It's workable, but it doesn't look quite right – though it's more of a restriction of the technology rather than any mistake on Treyarch's part, I think.
But it also affects the 2D crosshairs. These have been turned off by default, and you can see why: it looks really weird with them on. This is especially jarring with the wider crosshair spreads of weapons like the shotgun.
And, of course, Treyarch is also encouraging 3D gamers to use the iron sights as much as possible. Here the game separates the weapon to the front of the screen and the action to the back, and while the effect takes a bit of getting used to it does make you feel like you're actually looking down your weapon.
Some bits will naturally be more striking than others. Rappelling down the side of a mountain in the level WMD looks phenomenal, and when a dense patrol of enemy soldiers walk past you at the start of the same level you get a far more accomplished (and impressive) sense of depth than you would without the glasses.
You'll also come across a fair few sections that don't really pop out at the player, though, and it's with these bits the game's 3D sometimes feels like it's relying on using the iron sights for immediate 'wow' factor. Black Ops hasn't been designed to be viewed solely through 3D glasses, after all, but this is clearly a conceit prospective 3D gamers are going to have to make for a few years to come. When it does work, however, the effect is powerful and striking – good enough to make me Google how much 3DTVs are currently going for. Sigh, if only I was a millionaire.
3D won't appeal to everyone, of course, but what's clear from seeing a few levels in motion is how Treyarch has managed to seamlessly incorporate 3D into Black Ops on the sly. It looks more impressive than what I've seen of Guerrilla's implementation of the same technology in Killzone 3, and it's also very impressive to see it running on the 360. How Treyarch has managed to keep quiet about the fact it's going to be the first blockbuster shooter to support stereoscopic 3D is beyond me, but that's exactly what it's done.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is due for release on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and DS on November 9.

The 5 Days of Diwali:
Day 03: Lakshmi Puja / Diwali
Diwali is the five-day Hindu holiday known as "the Festival of Lights" and is celebrated over five days with each day signifying a particular aspect of the festival. The five days are:
Day 03: Lakshmi Puja on Diwali to invite the Goddess of Wealth
The Diwali day amidst other celebrations, holds special importance for the Hindu community as they worship Lord Ganesha and Lakshmi (Laxmi) on this auspicious day. It is a common belief that Lakshmi - the goddess of wealth - visits the homes of her worshippers on this day and hence people keep their windows and doors open while performing puja* in order to welcome the goddess.
A sixteen step ceremonious puja is performed on Diwali to welcome the deity. People paint and decorate their houses with flowers and lights in order to welcome the goddess. Fresh scented flowers and herbs are offered to the deity along with sweets amidst blowing of a conch and the ringing of bells.
This day also marks the welcome of Lord Rama who returned to Ayodhya on this day after killing the demon king Ravana. Diyas and candles are lit in order to ward off evil spirits and provide self enlightenment. Once the puja is over people visit friends and family and exchange gifts and sweets to mark the celebrations of Diwali and the victory of truth over evil.
*Puja: "A ceremony of gratitude or a religious ritual performed as an offering to various deities, distinguished persons, or special guests". (wikipedia)

I actually really enjoyed Sotskova's program.
I actually really enjoyed Sotskova's program.
I just can't get into Medvedeva's program music or her costume--it's just a trite, heavy ponderous production. She skates well though, nice 3F-3T. 58.75, which surprises me, thought she'd be right up with Sotskova.
Boy, Karen Chen is really missed at this competition.
Poilina's body type (tall and long limbs) looks great on the ice! Too bad her jumps were a mess today. Her and Proklova are probably the best all around package in this field and although neither are my favourites, I hope they perform better tomorrow and really make getting on the podium difficult. I'm not sure how possible that is though.
Evgenia Medvedeva clearly desperately wanted to skate clean, she was stony faced and rushing from the beginning. Her SS aren't atrocious but this field has excellent skating skills so she came across as quite poor in that area. She landed all her jumps with a 3-3 and 3L in the second half but her TES is quite low, I think it's probably because she had a wonky change of foot on the combination spin.
Protocals: http://www.isuresults.com/results/gp..._SP_Scores.pdf
Sotskova: Not a single -GOE.
Sakhanovich: All three jumping passes in the halfway mark. Also all level 4s.
Medvedeva: two level 3 elements.
Proklova: 3T was not scounted. All level 4 elements.
EDmunds: Lots major points on levels -- 3 level 3 elements along with messing up the jumps.
Wang: Decent levels (only step sequence level 3. Jumps, however, not there.
Looking at the way past GPs have gone, any of the top three could win it. Medvedeva has what it takes to storm the rankings with a huge 110+ score, Sakhanovich has two 3-3s with a big one in the second half and a pretty backloaded program and Sotskova gets the highest PCS usually. The FS is going to be a bloodbath!
A little bit disappointed for Proklova and Edmunds, but so happy to see Sotskova in the first place. And Serafima performed really good, a different style with nice qualities. Hope they both repeat the same success in the free. It seems like battle for the junior worlds also will be really difficult in Russia.
JUNIOR LADIES SHORT PROGRAM - VIDEOS (By Starting Order)
1. Angela WANG (USA) Short Program
2. Serafima SAKHANOVICH (RUS) Short Program
3. Maria SOTSKOVA (RUS) Short Program
4. Alexandra PROKLOVA (RUS) Short Program
5. Polina EDMUNDS (USA) Short Program
6. Evgenia MEDVEDEVA (RUS) Short Program
Overall Result, Segment Result, Protocols
I am kind of surprised that Sakhanovich has the highest TES but 4th in PCS. I thought she had the best artistry among all the Russian skaters here, maybe Proklova has about the same level of artistic ability. I haven't watched the actual performances, yet, so I might change my mind afterwards...
Sotskova's PCS should be at least 2 points higher than the rest
the judging here has been shameful as the senior ladies
Sakhanovich deserves PCS in mid 23, terrible bent knees too
Medvedeva has poor skating skills and Edmunds needs more penalty for her jumps

PC Specialist Vanquish Arc Midi Review
Published: 22nd November 2013 | Source: PC Specialist | Price: £1199 |
Given that you can pick either the R9 290 or the GTX770 for the same price, in gaming terms it's clear which is the better choice for performance. Only Resident Evil 6 prefers the GTX770, and every other game has higher performance on the R9 290. Very impressive results on both, especially when you consider this is only £1200.

The 82-year-old Kerens man accused of fatally shooting his wife in February has been found not competent to stand trial.
Randolph County Circuit Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong announced her ruling on Theodore Yeager Newlon's competency Thursday in Randolph County Circuit Court. Wilfong heard testimony on the issue at a special evidentiary hearing Dec. 7, but deferred delivering her decision until Thursday.
Newlon was indicted in June on one count of murder and one count of wanton endangerment following the fatal Feb. 6 shooting of 69-year-old Dora Lee Newlon in his home.

Theodore Yeager Newlon sits in Randolph County Circuit Court Thursday awaiting a hearing before Judge Jayme Godwin Wilfong on whether or not he is competent to stand trial for the fatal shooting of his wife.
Although court-appointed neuropsychiatrist Dr. Bobby Miller made the preliminary finding that Newlon was not competent to stand trial, Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Parker objected to that finding and retained neuropsychologist Dr. Steven Cody to conduct an additional evaluation.
In response to Parker's objection, Wilfong asked that the four mental health professionals who had evaluated Newlon present their findings at the Dec. 7 evidentiary hearing.
Three of the four evaluators Miller, Cody and psychologist Dr. Robert Rush deemed Newlon not competent to stand trial, while one psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Adamski reached the opposite conclusion. At the Dec. 7 hearing, Miller said he's diagnosed Newlon with delirium, epilepsy (seizure disorder) and a rare form of dementia known as frontal-temporal lobe dementia.
"At this time, the preponderance of evidence shows he's not competent to stand trial," Wilfong announced at Thursday's hearing. However, Wilfong said she felt the issue of restorability the question of whether or not Newlon could be restored to competency warranted further examination. Wilfong ordered that Newlon be re-evaluated by all four mental health professionals and set a second evidentiary hearing on the issue of restorability for 1 p.m. Feb. 8.
Parker and Newlon's attorney, James Hawkins, were given a chance to argue their cases prior to Wilfong's ruling. Parker argued that although the state had "a large hill to overcome number-wise," the single evaluator who declared Newlon competent Adamski, the psychiatrist had met with Newlon on the most occasions.
Hawkins, however, countered that Adamski's conclusions were based only on mental status evaluations and not extensive psychological testing employed by the other evaluators.
"I think Dr. (Steven) Cody put it best when he said that Mr. Newlon demonstrates some features of competency, but the only way to really tease that out is through testing," Hawkins said. "Obviously, I can't be called as a witness in this case, but I do not feel that this gentleman can assist me assist him in this case. Mr. Newlon, clearly by a preponderance of the evidence, is not competent and not likely to be restored to competency in the foreseeable future."
Upon announcing her ruling, Wilfong made a number of notations for the record, including the fact that none of the expert witnesses had testified that they believed Newlon was malingering, or faking, mental illness.
"In fact, I believe one of the experts testified that if he (Newlon) was faking, he was the most brilliant malingerer he had ever seen," Wilfong said.
The judge also noted that, according to expert witness testimony, Newlon was capable of eating, bathing and dressing himself; has demonstrated goal-directed behavior; and is not being treated for any mental illness at Sharpe Hospital other than age-related cognitive decline.
"He has a general understanding of the courtroom, by virtue of the fact that he consistently referred to the judge as female," Wilfong said.
Hawkins objected to the question of Newlon's restorability being left open. He additionally requested that Miller and Cody the neuropsychiatrist and the neuropsychologist perform diminished capacity, or criminal responsibility, evaluations on Newlon to see if the results of those tests might factor into Newlon's defense.

Sometimes we become so wrapped up in what's going on in our own neighborhood that we miss all the activity that's going on in the surrounding communities. One such example is Belington, which, like Elkins, is working very hard to make the most of their resources to revitalize their community. This was brought to my attention recently by Chris Sauerwein, chairman of the Belington Revitalization Committee.
Since the Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad so closely link our two communities, let's look at what they are doing - on close examination, not a lot different from what's being done in Elkins. In his letter, Sauerwein said, "I believe that as our situation improves, Belington has the potential to be a participant in regional tourism."
First, Belington was, as most now know, appointed in February as an ONTRAC participant as was Elkins and Beverly. Everyone is, of course, working toward making that a success and will then, if the program is successful, make the decision as to whether they will go on to the Main Street Program.
According to Sauerwein, Belington had two teams attend the Power of Ten Revitalization Conference for three days in Fayetteville. The town has also benefited from a recent intensive Community Design Study conducted by the WVU Extension Service.
Three projects are either under way or receiving preliminary engineering and design study. The pedestrian trail, commonly referred to as "Riverwalk," through the initiative of the BRC has received a certificate of approval for Phase I of the project and $40,000 from the West Virginia Department of Transportation. Along with the money, they received a letter of expeditious review for Phase II that could lead to additional funding. The total project cost, if approved, is estimated to be $100,000, with the city of Belington contributing $20,000. Phase I is expected to be completed by January 2010 and Phase II could be completed the following year pending final approval.
According to Sauerwein, the Riverwalk will provide a walking trail that connects downtown Belington with the city park. He said, "Our hope is that it will also be a first step in enhancing the train tourism experience for those who board the Tygart Flyer in Belington.
"It is widely agreed that routing a portion of the trail along the river will provide a scenic benefit that will encourage trail use by visitors, train tourists and local residents. That portion of the trail would likely be paved, with benches, streetlamps and fitness trail features," Sauerwein added.
According to Sauerwein, Freedom Bank has purchased a building adjacent to the railroad boarding area for community use by the BRC. The BRC has proposed to renovate the building to replicate the depot where train passengers can be welcomed with tourist facilities and bathrooms. The hope is that it may also be used as a visitor's center and community building.
Sauerwein also indicated that his committee hopes to develop the vacant lot that adjoins the proposed depot into a town square to be used for town activities. He said that the BRC has permission to use the lot and has "spruced up" the area into a green space with the help of community volunteers. "However," he said, "the property needs to be acquired to develop it fully, and we are looking into these options."
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will conduct two 10-hour OSHA 10 courses for general industry and construction at Davis & Elkins College on Thursday. The classes will be in Room 400 of the Science Center beginning at 8 a.m. A continental breakfast and registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. Lunch is provided.
Attendees may choose one of the two free OSHA courses which are: OSHA Standards 1926: (Construction) covering general safety and health provisions; electrical; fall protection; competent person; materials handling and storage; motor vehicles; mechanized equipment and construction equipment; scaffolding; excavations and stairways and ladders, and The OSHA Standards 1910 (General Industry) covering inspections, citations and penalties; record keeping; working surfaces; exit routes; emergency action plans, fire prevention plans and fire protection; electrical; flammable and combustible liquids; lockout/tagout; material handling; machine guarding; hazardous communications and industrial hygiene.
You may register by calling 304-637-9639 or by e-mail at www.alleghenyinsurance.com. Attendees completing the course will be issued an OSHA 10 card.
Allegheny Insurance Services, BrickStreet Insurance and OSHA are sponsoring the classes.
It's "oops" time again. In the May 9 issue of this column, I wrote that I attended the Lucky Enough Show Time band's show at the Elks Club on Saturday evening, implying that the shows are on Saturdays this year as they were last year. The performance I attended was on Friday evening as all their performances are this year. If you plan to attend their show, keep this in mind.

It looks like Juicy Couture and Lucky Brand have become too burdensome for Fifth and Pacific (NYSE: KATE ) to handle. The company is reportedly looking to sell off the brands, leaving its portfolio centered around the fast-rising Kate Spade brand. Lucky has had some success in the past year, though Juicy has languished, stuck with the velour tracksuits of yesterday. While Fifth and Pacific hasn't confirmed the rumors, the sale would make a lot of sense, and likely leave the company better off.
The Kate phenomenon
The biggest benefit to losing the brands would be the freedom it gives Fifth and Pacific to focus on its leading brand. Kate Spade had a 27% increase in direct-to-consumer comparable sales last quarter. The company has made the brand the focus of most of its recent presentations, going so far as to have an investors' day in March that focused solely on Kate Spade. Conversely, Lucky saw only a 3% increase in comparable sales, and Juicy had a 2% decline.
Kate Spade has been the clear winner, competing well with both Coach (NYSE: COH ) and Michael Kors (NYSE: KORS ) . While Kors saw a much larger jump in comparable sales -- 41% last quarter -- Kate's increase is nothing to be overlooked. It far outpaced the 2% drop Coach's North American stores experienced last quarter.
News of the potential sale sounded great to investors, and the stock jumped 7% during the day yesterday. That's largely due to the fact that Fifth and Pacific would be free of the drag that Juicy has been exerting on the company. Management forecast negative sales growth for the brand in the coming year.
A good buy
Even though Juicy and Lucky have been lackluster recently, both brands still have a lot of recognition and would make a nice addition to many portfolios. While Fifth and Pacific hasn't commented on the rumors yet, it would make sense to see both brands sold off to the same buyer, with Lucky sweetening the deal and covering for the weaknesses of Juicy. EBITDA increased at Lucky by 37% over the last year, helping to offset the 62% decline at Juicy.
As more details emerge, this will surely turn into better news for Fifth and Pacific shareholders. The company is reportedly sending out detailed information to sellers in the next week, and the sale could move quickly after that. While it's still early, I wouldn't be surprised to see a sale before the end of May. Keep your eyes on this one.
Michael Kors is one of today's hottest high-end fashion brands, and that's translated into one of the best-performing stocks in retail -- since its debut on the market in late 2011, the share price has more than doubled. But with all that growth, has the stock finally become too expensive, or is there still room left to run? The Motley Fool's new premium report on Michael Kors gives investors all the information they need to make the right decision. We cover the key must-watch areas, opportunities, and threats to the company that investors need to know. To claim your copy, simply click here now for instant access.

NxGen Preserve 63
2014 will be the 4th season for NxGen Preserve 63. This year we are expanding the community garden to include the vacant lot next to the existing community garden. Additionally we have more families participating in the community garden this season. Some with young children with food allergies that require food grown with no pesticides or chemicals.
The expansion plans include new raised beds, a chicken coop, a gathering space for events, a rain garden and a grape trellis.
Our neighborhood is in a hard hit area of Cleveland that has been adversely affected by the foreclosure crisis and job loss. Taking these vacant lots, providing access to healthy food and building community has had a positive effect on our street.

While consumption of aspirin has been shown to decrease the occurrence of nonfatal cardiac events, the majority of studies have not demonstrated any impact of aspirin intake on cardiovascular mortality. The present population-based study explores the possibility that aspirin consumption affects the presentation and severity of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and hence the likelihood of clinical detection.
We monitored the use of aspirin before admission for 2114 patients with a validated diagnosis of AMI in 16 hospitals in the Worcester, Mass, metropolitan area during 1986, 1988, and 1990. The AMIs were characterized as Q wave vs non—Q wave and large (peak creatine kinase levels more than five times normal) vs small (peak creatine kinase levels less than two times normal).
A total of 332 patients (16%) with validated AMI took aspirin before hospital admission. Nearly 65% of aspirin users had non—Q-wave AMIs, compared with 49% of nonaspirin users. Thirty percent of aspirin users sustained small AMIs, compared with 22% of nonaspirin users. These findings persisted after stratifying for previous AMI, history of coronary disease, receipt of thrombolytic therapy, and exclusion of early hospital deaths. Using multivariable regression models to control for age, gender, previous evidence of coronary disease, and use of other medications, prior aspirin consumption remained independently associated with AMI type (non—Q-wave AMI) and smaller infarct size.
Aspirin consumption appears to modify the presentation of AMI, increasing the likelihood that the infarct will be of the small, non—Q-wave variety.(Arch Intern Med. 1995;155:1386-1389)

Mount Pearl Blades goaltender Roger Kennedy jumps on a loose puck while Keith Delaney and Sean Wadden bear down looking for a CeeBees equalizer in third period action Saturday night at the S.W. Moores Memorial Stadium in Harbour Grace.
The Conception Bay North CeeBee Stars and the Mount Pearl Blades thought the shootout was fun the first time around that they decided to try it again, with the same result, a 4-3 victory for the Blades Saturday night at the S.W. Moores Memorial Stadium in Harbour Grace.
The CeeBees opened the scoring in the first period when Ray Dalton fired a puck past Blades starter Roger Kennedy.
The home team kept the visitors at bay, and the first period ended with the CeeBees up 1-0.
In the second period, special teams would let the CeeBees down as Mount Pearl tied the game at 1-1, and then took the lead 2-1 on consecutive power-play goals.
With Keith Delaney in the penalty box for hooking, Nathan Welton took a pass from Ryan Bellows and slide it past goaltender Doug Jewer. Terry Ryan also assisted on the play.
Colin Archer was in the box for hooking when Mount Pearl jumped ahead on a goal from Bellows. Ryan and Jason Hedges picked up the assists.
It would stay that way until the last minute of play in the frame when Colin Feehan took advantage of a Blades defensive lapse and sped in one a breakaway to beat Kennedy to make the score 2-2.
An icing non-call led to the third Blades' goal. Chris Mooney tucked a puck just underneath the crossbar and over the blocker of Jewer. David Cornacchia picked up the helper.
The period ended with Mount Pearl up 3-2.
The CeeBees pushed the entire third period for the equalizer, and captain Matthew Thomey tied the game up at 3-3 with just seconds remaining in regulation. Keith Delaney and Matthew French had the assists.
Mark Chaplin scored in the shootout and Kennedy stopped Sean Wadden to secure the victory for Mount Pearl.
The shootout loss means the CeeBees (6-10-4) salvaged a single point, but they still trail Mount Pearl by one point for fourth place with 16 points.
The two teams meet again next Friday night at the S.W. Moores Memorial Stadium in Harbour Grace at 8:00 p.m.

What is MOPS?
MOPS is an outreach to mothers of preschoolers that provides an open, caring and accepting atmosphere for today's mothers to grow and share their experiences with other women.
MOPS is a haven for soothing frazzled nerves and forming lifelong friendships. MOPS meets preschool moms where they are, and offers instruction and nurturing in a relaxed atmosphere of caring, sharing, and fun!
MOPS is coordinated by the mothers themselves, with the addition of "veteran" mothers, known as MOPS mentors, who lead the teaching time.
When does MOPS meet?
Our Hebron Baptist Church MOPS group meets the 2nd Friday of each month (excluding June - August) from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. MOPS requires each mom to become a MOPS to Mom member each year. The cost of the membership is $20.00. There is also a $5.00 supply fee for each month. (Scholarships are available)
The format of a MOPS meeting includes:
What about the kids?
Quality and loving care is provided for children (ages 0-6) through our MOPPETS ministry. MOPPETS is a preschool-like program with a spiritual emphasis. MOPPETS is a fun program where children will learn and socialize as moms participate in the MOPS program.
Who comes to MOPS?
The women who attend MOPS are all ages and backgrounds, but share the same desire -- to be the best mothers they can be! MOPS' purpose is to nurture all mothers of infant through Kindergarten - age (0-6) children by meeting her distinct needs to the glory of Jesus Christ.
Each mom who attends MOPS brings special qualities and personality to the group. Whether you are weary and exhausted or fulfilled and content, you'll come away encouraged in your role as a mom. You'll connect with other moms and learn how they handle similar situations, and you will be supported in your spiritual life as we integrate Christian principles. We welcome all types of mothers; working and stay at home, single and married. All experiencing the same "job" called motherhood.

Lot # 1168 (of 1560) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1983 "50th Anniversary of the All-Star Game" Ring
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $1,058
Of all the All-Star rings from all years, the 1983 edition is the most desirable to collectors. In 1983 Major League Baseball celebrated the 50th anniversary of its annual All-Star Game by holding the game at the same venue in which it began: Chicago's Comiskey Park. To commemorate the event, every living participant in a former All-Star Game was invited back to Comiskey Park to take part in the festivities. The rings produced were more elaborate and substantial than perhaps those for any other year. The game itself was also memorable, as it featured the first grand slam in All-Star Game history (by Fred Lynn) and the most runs scored in one inning (7, by the American League). Presented here is a highly desirable 1983 All-Star Game ring issued to a Major League Baseball staff member who worked at the event. The 10K gold ring, produced by Balfour, is set with a raised blue stone. Engraved on one shank is "All Star 1933," while the other features the 1983 All-Star Game 50th Anniversary logo. Engraved on the interior band is "10K" and "Balfo" (the company name is incomplete). The ring is in Excellent to Mint condition overall. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+. SOLD FOR $1,058

text: Tenacious Tuesday, 12/11/12 07:20:51 PM Re: Globaltrnr post# 2538 Post # of 3413 Yeah I thought the same thing but given Surface costs and lackluster reviews and lack of disclosure of Surface sales, and the fact that most IT shops go with "every other" Windows release I'm reeling my enthusiasm in. I do think the management capability of Surface (non RT) will gain more popularity with IT shows who are crying for devices that fit more in line with their management philosophy. Their interface is in the right direction and offers something even Mac laptops don't offer: touch. Problem for wider adoption other than consumer market is yet more hardware purchases for shops---and given microprocessor evolution on performance has slowed down--don't expect it tomorrow.

Go to a technology conference, and you may not find many programmers outfitted in Dolce & Gabbana, but you will find their gadgets adorned with wildly creative "skins" and ensconced in slick cases, sleeves and bags.
That's right: Geeks love to dress up their technology.
And non-geeks, too. With more and more people toting around netbooks, e-readers, gaming devices, digital music players, smart phones and laptops, there's a lot more opportunity to make a fashion statement with your technology. An always-growing subculture of indie artists and design-focused companies are producing beautiful wares to help you, and your technology, make a statement.
Which is just what I decided to do recently when I bought an iPhone skin — essentially a removable sticker to apply to the phone. I use my iPhone as a camera a lot of the time, and so when I saw the Leica look-alike iPhone skin from PetaPixel.com, for $13, I had to have it. Judging from the reactions I've gotten so far, it's a hit — an easy, not-so-expensive way to add some flare to my phone.
Of course, technology is often fashionable even without dressing it up. Does an iPad really need a skin to make it look cool? Not really. But the skins, cases and other accoutrements can turn not-so-cool technology, like an aging laptop with cracks in the plastic, into a stunning piece of portable art. Not only that, they also have the advantage of providing additional protection for your expensive gadgetry.
So the next time you're thinking about dropping $675 on a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes or $695 on a Hugo Boss sport coat, how about giving your tech some love and saving yourself more than a few bucks by dressing up your gadgets? Here's how:
• Skins
No doubt about it: A skin for your phone or laptop is likely to draw attention, whether you like it or not. You work for a stodgy company where individuality pegs you as a troublemaker? Then maybe a skin isn't for you. But anywhere else, it's likely to mark you as someone with style.
To buy a skin, take a look at the selection at GelaSkins, which uses a 3M adhesive for its removable skins. The company sells skins in a variety of sizes, for everything from the Droid Incredible to the Kindle 2 to the Zune HD. You'll find artwork from indie artists, Marvel comics and more.
If you like, you can even create your own skin by uploading a photo or other artwork.
Prices vary, depending on the device and the artwork, but you can pick up a skin for a phone for $14.95 and for a 15-inch laptop for $29.95 at GelaSkins.
• Cases and Sleeves
By definition, skins have style — that's pretty much the reason you buy one. With cases, you need to search around for one that's not wholly utilitarian. Thankfully, a number of companies, such as Incipio and Speck Products, give you style as well as protection. Incipio's motto, in fact, is "the art of protection." Although cases for phones often cost from $20 to $30, cases for other devices — in particular, for netbooks and laptops — can cost $100 or more, especially if you want one from a designer.
The iPad, in particular, seems to have inspired a market for opulent cases. An Oscar de la Renta iPad clutch, with an "ultra suede lining," goes for $390.
For laptops and netbooks, you might consider a stylish sleeve rather than a full-fledged case — an ideal option if you typically toss your computer in a backpack or shoulder bag. Unlike other bags, sleeves don't usually have pockets; they're slim enclosures to protect your device.
• Bags
Some bags just about scream, "I have some really cool, expensive technology inside here." I admit I bought one of these — well, I got it as a gift — and it wasn't cheap. The Ristretto bag, from Tom Bihn, costs $120 and fits my iPad and a wireless keyboard. I love the look of it.
Other companies with stylish bags, sleeves and other accessories include Skooba Design and Waterfield Designs (at sfbags.com).
• Stickers
There is one other option for dressing up your technology, and that's stickers. They don't come off so easily, but apply a bunch to your laptop — ideally, from technology conferences with names like DrupalCon or WordCamp — and you'll earn the admiration of geeks around the world.

How Talking Became Human Subjects Research: The Federal Regulation of the Social Sciences, 1965-1991
Zachary M. Schrag
Journal of Policy History, Vol. 21, pp. 3-37, 2009
In universities across the United States, institutional review boards, or IRBs, claim that they have the moral and legal authority to control the work of researchers in the humanities and social sciences. While IRBs may claim powers independent of federal regulations, they invariably point to these regulations as a key source of their authority. This article draws on previously untapped manuscript materials in the National Archives to trace the history of the federal regulation of social science research. Officials raised sincere concerns about dangers to participants in social science research, especially the unwarranted invasion of privacy as a result of poorly planned survey and observational research. On the other hand, the application of the regulations to the social sciences was far less careful than was the development of guidelines for biomedical research. Regulators failed to define the problem they were trying to solve, then insisted on a protective measure borrowed from biomedical research without investigating alternatives.
Keywords: institutional review boards, human subjects, social science, sociology, anthropology, regulation

UNIVERSITY PARK - Beaver Stadium turns 50 this year, and three members of the Penn State coaching staff were on the field the day it opened in 1960 with the Nittany Lions beating Boston University, 20-0.
Galen Hall was the Lions' starting quarterback that day, a sophomore having taken over for All-American Richie Lucas.
State's current offensive coordinator remembers looking out beyond the south end zone, which had about six rows of bleachers, and sensing how it was a far cry from the incredible atmosphere generated a year earlier when 34,000 packed and encircled Beaver Field - 4,000 over capacity - in a classic showdown against Syracuse.
"People were all over the place," Hall said of the 20-18 loss to the Orange. "It was a very close setting - almost like people were on top on you. It was great. Everything was closed in at the old place, with all the trees and the water towers and the surroundings. Out here, you were in an open area. You could look out and see Mount Nittany."
Joe Paterno likes to tell the story of how he thought the decision to move the stadium to the east end of campus would be the program's downfall. He lobbied Rip Engle to convince then university president Eric Walker not to go through with it.
"I said, 'You can't let them do that, Rip, it will ruin Penn State football,''' JoePa said earlier this week. "We were close to the Nittany Lion Inn, and people were used to coming up there. We had a nice parking area across the street, where the golf course was, and the whole bit."
Fact Box
Beaver Stadium by the numbers
1960.....46,284.....Inaugural game drew 22,000
1969.....48,284.....First of five expansions in 11 years
1972.....57,538.....Syracuse lured season-high crowd of 60,000
1976.....60,203.....Bleachers become bowl in south end zone
1978.....76,639.....Every home game listed over capacity
1980.....83,770.....Stadium raised, track eliminated
1991.....93,967.....North end zone overhang added
2001.....107,282.....Skyboxes, club seats, south end zone completed
Top crowds in Beaver Stadium history
1. 110,753 vs. Nebraska, 2002 (40-7)
2. 110,134 vs. Ohio State, 2007 (17-17)
3. 110,078 vs. Notre Dame, 2007 (31-10)
4. 110,033 vs. Ohio State, 2009 (7-24)
5. 110,017 vs. Michigan, 2009 (46-17)
Largest stadiums in the country
1. Michigan.....107,501
2. Beaver.....107,282
3. Neyland.....102,459
4. Ohio .....102,329
5. Bryant-Denny.....101,000
(Note: Neyland Stadium is home to the University of Tennessee; Bryant-Denny Stadium is home to the University of Alabama).
It was an argument Paterno and the football staff lost - probably one of the last ones - and a graduate building was built on the ground where Beaver Field stood.
Though it had a capacity of 46,284, the new stadium opened to a crowd of 22,000 against BU. Even the players found it awkward.
"I remember thinking it was a long way out there," Hall said. "It was sitting by itself. We bused out for scrimmages and the games, but we still practiced around Rec Hall and used the old locker rooms."
Gradually, though, Beaver Stadium became embraced and after a traffic jam before an Illinois game in 1960, tailgating began. The stadium has since undergone seven expansions, capped by the 2001 addition of skyboxes and the completion of the south end zone, and has more than doubled in size to the second-largest venue in the country.
Offensive line coach Dick Anderson was a freshman in 1960. He recalls being "amazed they could pick the stadium up and cut it into pieces and move it across campus," and he marvels at today's Penn State experience.
"The old Beaver Field was like a central hub, but there was no parking and no room for expansion," he said. "We couldn't exist like that today in the Big Ten."
"What's happened here - to be the first- or second-largest stadium in the nation and the way our fans have supported - has been fantastic," Hall said. "I could not have imagined it. We were all so young that we didn't have the vision to see what was going to happen."
And that includes JoePa, the wondrous visionary himself.
"Shows you how smart I am," he said. "It was a great move. It's amazing how many people come up here ... if we have a football team we don't know how good or bad it is yet, and yet we'll have a great crowd [today]."
Here's to the next 50.

December 7, 2011 - Harry Eagar
I don't like bigots. I have had more experience with Christian bigots, because there are more Christians, and being an ignorant Christian bigot is a point of honor in the South.
If you haven't encountered it personally, you cannot quite imagine how smug and disgusting Southern Christianity is. There are exceptions, but not many.
Gov. Rick Perry of Texas throws in with the worst of them.
Hat tip: Charles Johnson
UPDATE, Friday.
According to Johnson, some dimbulb in the Perry campaign forgot to switch off the Like/Dislike button on the Youtube video. The count as of Thursday morning: 42,000 dislikes, fewer than 1,000 likes.
I do not suppose this comes near to assessing the real impact of the ad, especially among its target audience of antihomosexual bigots, just that the antibigot sector saw its chance and took it.
According to an NPR report from the Republican Jewish conference yesterday, Perry was trying to explain away his position. I guess they're not real big on thinking 15 minutes ahead in the Perry campaign.
