Hyphessobrycon is a genus of freshwater fish in the Characidae family of order Characiformes. The Hyphessobrycon species are among the fishes known as tetras. Almost all species of this genus are native to the Neotropic ecozone in South America; about half a dozen species are from Central America and a single species, H. compressus, is from southern Mexico.
Taxonomy [edit]
This large genus of characins includes over 100 species.[1] The systematics of Hyphessobrycon is still largely unresolved.[2] Six groups within this genus have been recognized based on color patterns alone.[1] With no phylogenetic analysis of this genus, species are placed into this genus as anatomically defined by Carl H. Eigenmann in 1917.[3] By this definition, Hyphessobrycon is identified by the presence of an adipose fin, incomplete lateral line, two tooth series in the premaxilla, with the teeth of the external series continuous in a single series, teeth not strictly conical, preventral scales arranged in more than one row, and lack of scales in the caudal fin.[3] The characteristic of extension of scales onto the caudal fin that differentiates this genus from Hemigrammus is not satisfactory as it occurs in intermediate conditions.[3]
This genus is not monophyletic.[3] A monophyletic group within Hyphessobrycon has been hypothesized, termed the rosy tetra clade; this group is based upon coloration pattern and the shape of dorsal and anal fins of males.[1] Recognition of monophyletic groups among Hyphessobrycon species is complicated by the difficulty in finding characters useful for hypothesis of relationships among the species.[1] Traditional characters used to identify Hyphessobrycon are phylogenetically unreliable.[1]
Etymology [edit]
The generic name, Hyphessobrycon, is of slightly uncertain origin. The second part derives from the Greek βρύκω (to bite); the first, derives from an ostensible Greek hyphesson, which may be an error for υπελάσσων (slightly smaller).[4]
Distribution [edit]
The genus is distributed from southern Mexico to Río de la Plata in Argentina, achieving its highest species diversity east of the Andes in northern South America.[2]
Appearance and anatomy [edit]
All small fishes, the Hyphessobrycon tetras reach maximum overall lengths of about 2–7 cm (0.75–2.75 in). There is great anatomical diversity in this genus.[3] They are generally of typical characin shape, but vary greatly in coloration and body form, many species having distinctive black, red, or yellow markings on their bodies or fins.
Ecology [edit]
The Hyphessobrycon species are generally omnivorous, feeding predominantly on small crustaceans, insects, annelid worms, and zooplankton. When spawning, they scatter their eggs and guard neither eggs nor young.
Relationship to humans [edit]
None of the roughly one hundred fishes in the genus have been rated by the IUCN, but many species have small distributions and at least one, H. flammeus is believed to be extinct in the wild.[5] Many Hyphessobrycon species are popular aquarium fish.
Species [edit]
There are currently 131 recognized species in this genus:[4][6][7]

The Chippewas have eight incoming freshmen who bring a wealth of high school success to Mount Pleasant, including Trey Zeigler, a four-star recruit who spurned offers to Michigan, Michigan State, UCLA and Arizona State.
His father, Ernie Zeigler, coaches Central Michigan.
"We have a ways to go early on," said Ernie Zeigler of the Chippewas, who were picked second behind Ball State in the Mid-American Conference West division preseason poll. "We have seven of our first eight games on the road, and only five guys that have played in D-I games, and only four of them played an integral part.
"And although some guys are highly touted in our freshmen class, I see some growing pains. With the way our our non-conference schedule is sets up, even for a veteran team that would be a task."
Central Michigan finished 15-15 overall and 9-7 in the MAC last year, but loses its top two scorers in guards Robbie Harman and Jordan Bitzer.
Senior guard Jalin Thomas is the Chippewas' leading returning scorer (7.4 points per game), but Ernie Zeigler expects to some of his freshmen to shoulder the scoring load.
In the Chippewas' 77-38 exhibition win against Marygrove last week, Trey Zeigler, a 6-5 guard who is the only freshman ever to be picked preseason All-MAC, led the team with 20 points. Fellow freshman guard Derek Jackson added 15 points and five steals.
Still, Ernie Zeigler wants to temper his enthusiasm and expectations.
"This team has so much room for growth as far as focus," he said. "From a chemistry standpoint, there is no doubt we have had more depth and athleticism since starting to rebuild this program four years ago. The question is how good can we be."
Center Nate VanArendonk, of Grand Haven, another freshman who Zeigler will lean on this season, sees the potential.
"We have a lot of size and good athleticism," said the 6-foot-9 VanArendonk. "And we are deep at every position."
VanArendonk joins East Grand Rapids forward Colin Voss and Caledonia guard Luke Wiest as three of the eight freshmen on this year's team.
VanArendonk said the transition from high school to college and being a Division I athlete is starting to go more smoothly.
"It was difficult at first, learning how to manage your time, how to handle classes and still devote a lot of time to basketball," VanArendonk said. "But after a while I got into a rhythm and a routine, and now it's a lot easier and I'm having fun."
That's what Ernie Zeigler wants: players to have fun, but fun in a winning program.
"If the Chippewas again have competed at the top of the division and have a winning record and are fighting for an opportunity to advance in MAC tournament further than in the past, that's what I want," Zeigler said. "Those are goals we have each year, but more importantly we want to sustain -- that is what good programs do. We want to compete at the top of this conference each year."
Central Michigan opens its season Saturday against Cal-State Fullerton in the Rainbow Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Windows XP End of Microsoft Extended Support
Microsoft officially ended support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. After this date, Microsoft will not release any reliability, or compatibility updates or patches for Windows XP nor will they provide support to solve issues with this twelve-year-old operating system (Microsoft did make Windows XP patches available for a significant Internet Explorer vulnerability in early May, but this is the exception rather than the rule). The remaining users of Windows XP must migrate to a newer and supported version of Windows as soon as possible. This migration may require the purchase of new hardware that is capable of running newer versions of Windows and will at a minimum require the purchase of a Windows operating system upgrade.
Microsoft is officially terminating extended support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014, after a twelve-year life span. For about half of that time, Windows XP was the dominant operating system on Penn's campus. With input from University constituents, Information Systems & Computing (ISC) officially ended XP support at the end of FY 2012. Some members of the Penn community have continued to use Windows XP after that date, though at a declining rate. As of early May 2014, the University's installed base of Windows XP is slightly over 3.0% of the total of University-affiliated desktops and notebooks, or about 1,300 systems, the majority being desktops.
As of Aoril 2014, approximately 26% of all Windows computers worldwide continue to run Windows XP. Because no further security patches will be developed, these computers will be substantially more vulnerable to security risks and prone to malicious attacks. Also, with such a massive installed base and no future security patches, effective Windows XP exploits will almost certainly come quickly. Since the risk of vulnerability is so high, Windows XP should not remain in use at Penn after the discontinuation of support on April 8th. It is vitally important that Windows XP users not leave themselves in such a tenuous position to help protect both the University's data and the members of its community.
ISC strongly urges all users of Windows XP to migrate to a newer and supported operating system. Before migrating from Windows XP, users should examine their computer's technical specifications and determine whether they need to purchase new hardware or if they can effectively upgrade their existing hardware to Windows 7. Microsoft's Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is a recommended resource to assist with this determination.
Since many computers still running Windows XP are incapable of running current Windows operating systems for performance or driver reasons, migrating from Windows XP often means a migration to new hardware as well. To help facilitate migrations, the University's Computer Connection has stocked competitively priced and capable Dell OptiPlex desktops.
More recently purchased hardware may meet the minimum requirements for Windows 7, so an appropriate upgrade to Windows 7 can be installed; Windows 7 upgrades can be purchased from the Computer Connection. Please note that Windows 8.x works best with touch screens and other hardware that rarely shipped with Windows XP systems, so Windows 7 is typically the best choice for an operating system upgrade.
Technical details
Some research equipment may require Windows XP to operate. In this case, support providers should disconnect the relevant systems from PennNet or implement additional security controls such as VLANs and network firewalls, as well as prohibiting likely-targeted software or services (e.g., web browsers). Careful consideration should be given to data transfer solutions in these situations. Additional advice in securing such systems can be obtained by contacting ISC Client Care.
Some Windows XP compatible applications may not be compatible with newer versions of Windows. Windows XP Mode, available in Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise, will allow many of these applications to function as expected.

by Simone de Beauvoir
Jean-Paul Sartre, the French philosopher, died in 1980 at the age of 74. In the first half of the book, a journal she kept from 1970 to 1980, de Beauvoir, Sartre's lifelong companion, tracks his gradual but inexorable decline. We learn of Sartre's trouble with his teeth, his growing blindness, his failing bladder and his occasional and debilitating bouts of drunkenness, in one sad instance fueled by bottles of whiskey and vodka brought by young women visitors. De Beauvoir seems intent on recording these events, not explaining or condemning them. Her loving, yet keen eye misses little of Sartre's slide into the grave. She writes of "a fixed smile of universal kindness on his lips (a smile caused by a slight paralysis of the facial muscles)." The second half of Adieux is devoted to a series of cool but cathartic conversations between the pair, who together probe nearly every nook of Sartre's psyche. When de Beauvoir asks his opinion of literature, he answers, "At present, I've finished. I'm on the other side of the door." Patrick O'Brian's translation does not pass on to the English reader the elegant clarity of de Beauvoir's prose. But free of self-pity by either participant, Adieux is a moving tribute of rare, unromanticized honesty and humanity. (Pantheon, $19.95)

The day before tax day was crunch day for both taxpayers crunching their own sets of numbers and the tax businesses that re-crunch them.
"They do their Turbo Tax thing, then they get nervous and come to us," said Greg Whittinghill, spokesman for the H&R Block office on McBean Parkway in Valencia.
On Monday — the day before income taxes are due across America — Whittinghill described as "brisk" the traffic through his office near Magic Mountain Parkway.
"Occasionally, we find a lot more money for them," he said, pointing to taxpayers who initially set out to file their taxes themselves.
Behind him as he spoke, the phone kept ringing.
"It hasn't stopped ringing all day," the H&R Block receptionist said.
Over in Saugus, near the "Statue of Liberty" mascot wearing green robes and a spiky headpiece while waving to passing motorists, the tax people at Liberty Tax Service noticed the same last-minute tax filing trend.
"It's actually really packed in here," said Liberty spokeswoman Jenny. "We're actually busy right now."
Asked to describe traffic through the Liberty office on Bouquet Canyon Road at Seco Canyon Road, she said: "It's been pretty good."
Asked to describe the last-minute tax filers themselves, she said: "We've had people come in with their taxes in spread sheets all done up and other coming bringing a shoe box of receipts."
According to the website maintained by the Internal Revenue Service, almost 120 million taxpayers opted to submit their individual tax returns electronically.
Since 1990, taxpayers have e-filed more than 1 billion Form 1040 series tax returns safely and securely, the website reads.
On Thursday, the IRS reported that it had received almost 100 million tax returns so far this year and expected to receive about 35 million more by the end of the day Tuesday.
However, about 12 million taxpayers will have requested extensions by the filing deadline, giving them an extra six months to file, according to the website.

The relationship between businesses and data is changing. In virtually every industry, data plays a much more important role now than it did just a few years ago, and this trend is likely to continue. Firms are constantly developing new methods for collecting, analyzing and leveraging information.
This is a positive development. The more that organizations utilize available data, the more efficient and effective they can become. However, it is also true that organizations that are pursuing such strategies need to develop policies that can guarantee data protection for the company, its clients and its partners. Greater reliance on sensitive data demands high-quality secure file transfer solutions.
Sensitivity matters
Almost certainly the single most significant data-related development in recent years is the advent of advanced big data analytics and business intelligence (BI) solutions. With these tools in place, firms are now able to gain useful insight from unstructured and semistructured data sets - resources that otherwise lack significant value. This has motivated organizations of all kinds to vastly increase their efforts to collect and generate data from a wide range of sources, as all of it may potentially prove valuable upon analysis.
However, it is critical for business leaders and decision-makers to realize that the value of such data is not limited to their own organizations. On the contrary, hackers and industry competitors can also benefit greatly if they gain access to this information. In the case of the former, there is a significant amount of profit to be made by selling stolen personal and company data. And competitors can use insight into a business to undermine its strategies, gaining a major advantage in their shared industry.
Considering these incentives, it is inevitable that cybercriminals will actively seek out ways of gaining access to business's sensitive data. And the more sensitive information that a company collects, creates and utilizes, the more opportunities there are for these threats to successfully cause a data breach. Businesses, regardless of their size, need to be aware of these risks and take proactive steps that can reduce the danger inherent to handling sensitive information.
Tools of note
The key difficulty that many businesses face is protecting their data without compromising its value. It is easy enough to keep data safe if that information is never going to be used - it can simply be stored on an isolated hard drive or server. But for this data to actually prove useful to the company, the firm's employees will need access to the information. The less limitations there are upon employee data access, the more valuable that data will be - so long as security is maintained at all times.
Secure file transfer solutions are critical for achieving this balance. With these tools in place, employees can send and receive sensitive data easily and quickly without increasing the risk that this information will be exposed to unauthorized personnel while in transit.

I think both techniques are used widely, and there's not a strong
concensus either way. There are also some organizations that use a
combination: multiple MX records, and each name resolves to multiple
addresses (take a look at AOL.COM's MX records).
The only deciding factor I can think of is that the configuration with a
single MX record will result in smaller response messages.

Take Shelter OklahomaUPDATED 6:57 PM CDT Jun 04, 2014
Jesse Jackson is going to Moore to help kick off getting new shelters in school petition.Video Transcript
Towers. It's been just over a year since the school was destroyed by the tornado, and the new school is almost complete. But parents of Plaza Towers kids say they're work is far from over - and we can't go through another storm season in Oklahoma without protection for our children. Danni Legg, Lost son in Plaza Towers - Clip 26 19:50 "It's shouldn't have happened. I have two other children that have got to be protected." Holding hands, the families who lost their children at Plaza Towers gathered at the newly rebuilt school - Many of them wearing t-shirts and carrying pictures to honor the 7 children who died. Leaders of Take Shelter Oklahoma launched a new petition Wendesday - to keep fighting to put shelters in every school. Even civil rights leader Reverand Jesse Jackson came to show his support. Reverand Jesse Jackson - Clip 19 10:17 "This is not about republicans. It's not about democrats. It's about our humanity." David Slane - Clip 24 16:10 "It's our hope we can not make this about politics but make it about our children." Their first initiative was abandoned in April - and now they need 160,000 signatures to place the measure on the November ballot. Mikki Davis - Clip 25 18:13 "I'm not giving up. This is the reason we're doing this. These, these children. This is the reason we need shelters in schools, it's so that I don't have to go to a gravesite to visit my son. So that I can pick him up at school every time." The revised petition will provide a $500 Million Dollar state bond that will help school districts fund storm shelters. Many people I spoke with say they will keep fighting until it's passed. Bree Steffen, KOCO 5 News. NEW AT FIVE. A WARNING FROM

Skip to comments.'Stop Romney' Christian conservatives give nod to Santorum ahead of S.C. balloting
Posted on 01/14/2012 3:31:10 PM PST by TBBT
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- With the South Carolina Republican presidential primary a week away, former Sen. Rick Santorum on Saturday received the endorsement of 150 influential Christian conservative leaders who are hoping to prevent former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney from becoming the GOP nominee.
The group, suspicious that Romney's commitment to social conservative causes such as ending legalized abortion is weak, met at a ranch outside of Houston, Texas, in hopes of rallying around one candidate rather than split their votes among three - Santorum, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
The endorsement came as the Republican presidential field converged on scenic Charleston, S.C., for a televised town hall meeting for undecided voters hosted by Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said in a telephone news conference after the meeting that the conservatives had begun their deliberations with "not a lot of hope that we could reach consensus around one candidate."
But in the end "there emerged a strong consensus around Rick Santorum," Perkins said, after three rounds of balloting.
Santorum, a staunch anti-abortion social conservative, was considered a long-shot candidate before surprising many by losing to Romney in Iowa caucuses Jan. 3 by only eight votes.
Support fluctuated between Santorum and Gingrich, Perkins said, before more than two-thirds voted for the former Pennsylvania senator. In the end, Santorum received 85 votes out of 114 - a smaller total because Perkins said some participants had left to catch flights.

"Stop Romney".
Ironic isn't it? Their efforts may very well secure a victory for the one one they so desperately want to stop.
I suspect that the Romney camp is loving this.
Santorum doesn't have a prayer at beating Romney.
Apparently Newt is getting 50,000 Christian leaders together: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2833039/posts
Keep on Laughing TBBT.
Keep on laughting. :D
Aww, bless their hearts! Huckabee rides again!
Between the Romney rinos and this desire to support Rick S., Romney will win if this continues. All of the prayers in the world are not going to change the numbers for Rick S.
George Barna (an Evangelical) who runs the Barna research group came out today and supported...Newt Gingrich. He thought Gingrich would be the best candidate to defend Christianity in this era.
This is the first time Barna has ever supported anybody in any race.
I agree. Romney is up in one poll in SC by 21. Santorum is one of the worst candidates they could rallied around.
They aren't interested in doing anything other than f'ing up like they do almost every election.
Paper tigers always looking to act so righteous while they rum themselves into a wall.
Romney's best voting bloc.
You're right...
I'm not too optimistic about the chances of stopping Romney. I don't see the Rick/Rick clingers loosening their grip. This is mostly likely to play out as it did in 2008. Except this time Romney's margin of victory will be bigger.
We'll see next week when fresh polls come out. Possible outcomes...
- Santorum switches places with Newt in the polls but is still well short of beating Romney (best case scenario for Santorum).
- Newt slides, Santorum gains, and the both meet around 20%, well short of what's needed to beat Romney.
- The polls remain static - leading to Romney win.
- The only chance that Romney looses S.C.: Somehow S.C. realizes the realities of the battle field and move towards Newt. This depends on how big the Anti-Romney sentiment is in S.C. - something that I'm not sure is that large. Being the optimist that I am - this is probably the least likely outcome.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online from January 10-13 with a sample of 995 South Carolina registered voters. It included 398 Republicans and 380 Democrats.That's 380 Democrats and apparently 217 Independents. Republicans make up just 40% of this poll. Is that really representative of how the voting demographic is going to play out in S.C.? With that many Democrats and Independents sampled in this poll, are the results any surprise?
You can have Romine. He's all yours. When he ends up being Obama 2, remember all your love for the commie homo abortion loving liberal.
Oh heavens. Conservatives actually choosing a conservative!?
How can that be!
Durn them all to heck!
Apparently, despite the oversample, Santorum's numbers didn't budge.
Either Santorum's really got the solid support of the conservatives that did get polled, or Newt is radioactive among independents. ;)
Or maybe the Hillary supporter just dig the sweater-vest. :p
"Santorum switches places with Newt in the polls but is still well short of beating Romney (best case scenario for Santorum)."
He's winning in NC? Why is that?
Best case scenario - Santorum beats Mitt, Newt beats Mitt, Santorum beats Newt (as in NC), and Mitt finishes third.
"Somehow S.C. realizes the realities of the battle field and move towards Newt"
It's like taking a quiz. All the answers have the same one. Newt.
I hope that this collective endorsement works. Romney is a Wall Street liberal and Gingrich has too many liabilities to be a strong general election candidate.
MY prayers belong to Newt Gingrich!
Split vote = Romney is ccounting on that to stop his feared challenger Newt Gingrich!
Santorum has my vote and I'll try to squeeze out a few more bucks for him. Money is really the only reason a candidate gets out of a race regardless of where they finish in these early races.
In 08 McCain was finishing very low in the early primaries but he had money and media behind him to keep going and pick up delegates as others dropped out.
Don't know if you saw this thread. Santorum says he'll home school in the white house.
A homeschooling President? That's another reason to vote for Santorum.
This farce will continue right until Romney gets the nomination, just like it did with that moron Huckabee and McCain.
Santorum would just stand there like a deer in the headlights.
Yes, if only they were liked the enlightened Newt fans on FR, they'd realize the guy with endless scandals who placed 4th and 5th place and hasn't won a single county yet is the "only" man who can stop Romney.
Not if the Newt who showed up for global warming "debate" with John Kerry is on stage with Obama in the future. Instead we'd have Newt agreeing with Obama's left-wing premises to show what a smart, enlightened, compassionate conservative he is.
>> Santorum would just stand there like a deer in the headlights. <<
Sure, like he always has in the past and especially when he debated Barbara Boxer on the Senate floor. Oh, wait! That didn't happen, did it? Instead, the opposite happened. Santorum moped the floor with the vile leftists.
... why are you looking at me like that? All the Paul supporters assure me it's going to happen!
"Yes, if only they were liked the enlightened Newt fans on FR, they'd realize the guy with endless scandals who placed 4th and 5th place and hasn't won a single county yet is the "only" man who can stop Romney."
You Obama boys are really, really scared of this man aren't you..??
You should boy cause Obama is going down in 2012....!!!
BTW, only had two primaries and both of them have been in libeals states....Newt will do jus fine in the South.
Be Patient....Obama's butt whoppins coming, Newt's just gotta finish off "Ol" lefty Rommy boy first. I want be long now.
"Yes, if only they were liked the enlightened Newt fans on FR, they'd realize the guy with endless scandals who placed 4th and 5th place and hasn't won a single county yet is the "only" man who can stop Romney."
You Obama boys are really, really scared of this man aren't you..??
You should be because Obama is going down in 2012....!!!
BTW, only had two primaries and both of them have been in libeals states....Newt will do just fine in the South.
Be Patient....Obama's butt whoppins coming, Newt's just gotta finish off "Ol" lefty Rommy boy first. I want be long now.
That's dead on, onyx
Why people can't see through this is beyond me ....
Santorum hasn't said anything in the GOP debates that anyone remembers or cares about.
Newt will go after Obama and the MSM, Santorum will be wide eyed and polite.
We need someone who is going to fight for this election, not another polite Senator.
Romney watched '08. He learned from Iowa and the usefulness of Huckabee against Thompson. Of course Thompson's heart wasn't in it, unlike Newt's.
Well, here's to the Republic and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you
Indeed. Quite a few of Newt's think tank "Solutions" are anything but fiscally conservative. I was arguing with one of the Neuticles today who was claiming Santorum is a "big government socialist" but Gingrich is a "fiscal conservative". If that's true, why does Santorum have much better ratings from the Club for Growth and the National Taxpayers Union, both EXCLUSIVELY dedicated to fiscal issues? Are they lying? If Newt's more of a "fiscal conservative", how come he endorsed TARP and the wall street bailouts, an individual mandate for health care, and taking drastic government action to stop global warming -- all of whom Santorum vehemently opposed? Are we to believe that pro-TARP side was the "fiscally conservative" position? And why is it that Santorum is a "socialist" when he took earmarks and raised his own salary, but Newt's a great conservative when he does it? Why is it a "unacceptable" for Santorum to endorse Arlen Specter under pressure, but perfectly OK for Newt to eagerly endorse the even more liberal Dede Scozzafava?
Not ONE of my questions was answered. They'll just repeat "Newt is a fiscal conserevative, Santorum is a pro-life socialist" ad infim, like a broken record.
Newt fans just want to sit in their glass houses and hurl stones, ignoring the fact that Newt's record is to the LEFT of Santorum -- not only on social issues, but fiscal issues as well. Facts are like Kryptonite to Neuticles.
At least I won't stoop to their level. If Santorums a "big government socialist" then we might as well start claiming Newt hates Jews and loves abortion. Why stick with facts when you can just smear people with false accusations?
Thank you very much, dear friend. I wish you the very same for this New Year. Prayers for Republic and for Newt Gingrich's safe and successful journey to the presidency.
Ohhh, now that he's running for President he sees the error of his ways! Such courage! < /sarcasm> Funny how guys never give Romney a pass when he says he rejects his earlier views.
>> Newt will go after Obama and the MSM, Santorum will be wide eyed and polite. We need someone who is going to fight for this election, not another polite Senator. <<
Obviously you did not click on the links I sent you. The Newt that showed up in the debate with John Kerry was wide eyed and polite, the Santorum who showed in the debate with Barbara Boxer fought for conservatives and went after liberals and the MSM. BTW, you Newt fans do you guy a disservice by continually overhyping his debate skills. If you keep gloating about how Newt will "destroy Obama", you raise the bar for Newt so much that any flub at all, no matter how minor, will be spun as a "victory" for Obama in a debate.
Sorry, I omitted a word (*Our* Republic) - was watching Newt Gingrich's closing statement.
Huckster's forum.
Beat me to it.
The Santuckabee screws the pooch again for conservatives.
I'm not seeing how Santorum is conservative. What, on his record, leads you to believe that he is?
I think the most productive way to advance this discussion is, how do you define a conservative? What is it that makes someone a conservative in your understanding.
I know what it is for me. And I can describe why I support him, but I don't know about you.
For me - what catches my eye is his consistant support for unborn children, his outright rejection of abortion, contraception and gay marriage. I'm a convert to Catholicism. This really resonates with me seeing a candidate who not only supports the things that I do but is outspokenly in favor of them.
As for the rest, Santorum has a solid spending plan, to cut spending to 2008 levels, and 5 trillion on top of that. That's important that he has a plan, but that plan is not why people support him.
It's not something that's going to change. What you see is what you get. You're not going to come back 5 years from now and go, whoa. Where did that come from?
I also take a look at his enemies. Who hates santorum so much that they put up a site with his name to try to smear him? You never get an enemy, unless you've stood behind something. Churchill said this. Santorum has been so consistantly in support of these things that he's come by his enemies honestly, and I respect that.
I've had to deal with these folks myself and that is why Santorum appeals so much to me, because he knows what I have gone through.
But that's just me. I can appreciate folks being skeptical. If you want someone like Paul who wants to slash government spending to that degree - then you should probably vote Paul. But if you want a solid conservative then Santorum's your man.
Shall we check his voting record?
Doesn't believe in Right to work?
How are his gun votes?
Balanced budget?
Newt and Kerry agreed on the problem and only disagreed on the solution.
Why wouldn't it be polite.
Newt is the only one who has provided any fireworks in these debates.
He is able to reframe the question when the MSM twists it.
All Santorum is going to do is 'me to' Obama.
He isn't going to beat Romney and he won't beat Obama.
He said it was a "mistake". As far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong, he never said why or offered any elaboration or disavowed that he believed in climate change.
Why appear in the ad if he didn't believe the nonsense and favor a Gore/Pelosi style radical government solution to the imaginary problem? Doesn't make any sense.
Which is good.
The problem I see is that his past record shows that he's never seen a spending bill he didn't like. And with a deficit bigger than our entire national GNP, this is a massive danger.
Furthermore, his past record on the US Constitution shows that he believes it good and proper to disregard it when his personal beliefs are in question. Which is just the same as Obama and his beliefs. That also is a great danger.
At a time where our nation is so very close to bankruptcy... and at a time where our nation is *ALSO* so very close to losing it's very ideal of a federal republic, I don't think we can afford to have yet another President trample over our Constitution and spend our money like a drunken sailor.
I see from the article that every campaign sent representatives. What kind of a group of Christian conservatives was this? Does it have a name?
"The fact is that both Rick Perry and Rick Santorum are, thankfully, pro-life."
False. Perry supported abortion in the case of rape and Incest until as late as december.
"My comment reflects my recognition that marriage and most issues of the family historically have been decided by the people at the state and local level."
Also false. Reynolds clearly demonstrates that it is the responsibility of the federal government to enforce marriage. This is why Utah could not be admitted by supporting polygamy. The federal government can only enforce, it can no more change the definition then it can drop Habeaus Corpus. The definition of marriage is an essential part of the English common law.
Read the decision. This red state article does not even understand the constitutional issues surrounding Gay marriage. This is why Santorum is right and Perry is wrong.
As for the rest - Santorum's plan is better than Paul Ryan's. He argues in favor of cutting back to 2008 levels immediately, with a further 5 trillion in cuts on top of that.
You can argue that his record speaks otherwise, but his platform is clear. The state cannot continue as it has and the federal government must spend within their means.
That article, is a terrible article. I could write a better one and if you pay me, I'd be happy to write an article explaining why Rick Santorum's position is constitutionally correct, and why Rick Perry's position is constitutionally incorrect.
He appeared in the ad's, thinking the problem was a real one, to say that even though they agreed there was a problem, they disagreed on how to deal with it.
Newt wanted to take a free market approach to it.

By Kevin Davies
April 4, 2012 | It has taken more than a decade, but the ideas of Venkatesan Thangaraj to create a pharma pipeline for image management are maturing so quickly that he sees the potential of developing an industry standard that enables all trial sponsors and vendors to have a single customizable tool for handling clinical imaging data.
Thangaraj founded Radiant Sage Ventures in 2008, hoping to offer pharma companies "a missing link" in their imaging operations. "Around then, there was much ado about imaging," he says. "Pharma was putting out RFPs to build or buy solutions, but there just weren't any. Many pieces went back in house."
But Thangaraj's ideas around imaging software dated back to 1999, when he first put together a business plan for such a system. Back then, however, VC firms he pitched wanted to focus on EDC rather than imaging. "I spent a good part of 7-8 years working on EDC technologies," he says. (He founded ENMED in 1999, and eventually sold it to an Indian IT company called MegaSoft.)
So when Thangaraj heard of pharma's renewed interest in imaging software, he already had the core concepts around what he wanted to do. It was just a matter of implementing it. In 2008, he arranged to meet with Pfizer, with which he had worked on other projects, to discuss his ideas and dust off his old slides. Six months after he built a prototype system, Pfizer became his first client, commissioning what became the Image Collaborative Portal (ICP).
Kris Kokomoor, associate director of Pfizer's Center for Excellence for Drug Development group in Groton, Connecticut, says Pfizer enjoys a strong relationship with Radiant Sage and continues to pursue the same goals in managing clinical image data. "We're at the same spot on the curve as several other big pharmas," he says. "Other pharmas might try to solve this problem internally, but I'm glad we didn't do that."
"One of our goals," he continues, "was to procure a product that would gain support in other areas of the industry. We've encouraged Radiant Sage to work with other pharmas. Most [software] solutions are very proprietary, and that's not a direction we're heading in."
From Pfizer's perspective, Kokomoor says there was a gradual recognition dating back five years or more that it was leaving good data in the field. "There was no epiphany—or if there was, it certainly preceded me!"
"We'd had many studies incorporating clinical imaging end-points, but the images were typically used only to derive endpoint data," he says. "The images were often left at the acquisition site or CRO. They'd read the images in search of a clinical endpoint."
While the clinical team might be satisfied with the endpoints, other analyses would require Pfizer researchers go back to the CRO on the original trial and ask for a copy of the images. Those images would typically be dispatched on DVDs or CDs from hospitals or CROs, their receipt tracked on Excel spreadsheets. The researchers typically lost interest, Thangaraj says, because they couldn't receive information in a timely fashion. "Every trial was different," recalls Kokomoor. "We had to deal with them ad hoc… What we wanted was a toolbox to transform image sets for new use."
Trial Toolbox
The first version of ICP went live in December 2009, and provided an archive where live clinical trial data could be imported and indexed. "Anyone else could search the archive and export it out in the next day or two," Thangaraj recalls.
By imposing a process and consistency on the front end while importing image data into Pfizer, Kokomoor and his colleagues reckoned they could reduce the amount of time servicing requests for further use of the data. Most imaging results are obtained in a DICOM file format, which defines a lot of metadata. "Those data contain a rich set of information, but some aspects are common and standardized, others aren't. We try to impose some standardization across study boundaries, so cross-study queries are effective."
Radiant Sage designed a web-based app with several Java-based applets for data import. "We provide the access to the app and the training [the CROs] need to get the job done," says Kokomoor. That extends to reading the images. "We provide training for readers, consumers, or importers."
The major return-on-investment is in the time saved between sending a request for clinical data and when the data are available. "We've made real progress in minimizing that amount of time. It's a big-time savings," says Kokomoor. "I'm confident this is adding to our ability to remain compliant, [improve the] chain of custody for images, ensuring images in house are properly de-identified. Now we retain the documentation."
In one example, many Pfizer clinicians wanted to study MRIs and X-rays associated with an osteoarthritis study involving 400 subjects over four years. "Any one data extract could have required months of manpower—now it's reduced to man hours or days to get done," says Kokomoor.
Radiant Relationship
Kokomoor stresses the continued malleability of Radiant Sage and its willingness to build to Pfizer's requirements. Part of the original specification was the creation of a repository within Pfizer's datacenter to hold terabytes of indexed image data and render it accessible in various ways. "It's like a PACS—but has a more study-centric view," he says.
The network-attached storage system manages tens of terabytes of data. Privacy concerns led Pfizer to choose an internal solution rather than house the data externally, at least for the time being. "The landscape around cloud computing—putting sensitive data in secure repositories outside the corporate firewall—that's changed a lot in the past two years. That's an aspect that we'll be revisiting over time," says Kokomoor.
Early on, the IT infrastructure included Nvidia GPUs, but more recently, Radiant Sage has revised the infrastructure to use just CPU power. Pfizer IT heavily leverages a shared infrastructure, Kokomoor explains, and that wasn't helped by using a specialized advanced processing unit such as Nvidia.
Kokomoor says a major disease area that has benefited from the relationship is neuroscience—acquiring images of brains. Quite frequently, clinicians want to review the primary image data to check for artifacts or verify a set of screening decisions. Now the Imaging CRO can transfer the images to Pfizer, where staff clinicians can review the images.
Radiant Sage has also introduced remote rendering for data. This allows a clinician to pull up a web tool and browse the data without download of any images. "We wanted them to view—so they implemented remote rendering, back on the client's system," says Kokomoor.
New Leads
Last year, Radiant Sage was awarded projects by another top 5 pharma, which involved core lab work. "We call version 2.0 a Core-Lab-in-a-Box," says Thangaraj. It added workflow features, radiology reads, and integration with Electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs).
Thangaraj says he discussed imaging software with another large pharma five years ago. "They built an in-house solution; it's their internal archive. But other features are not part of it, so I went back to them, showed them what we had, and there was some interest to look beyond what they'd built." Radiant Sage recently won a project to take the open-source ImagEDC code and validate it to make it 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.
Radiant Sage also recently expanded its business model to provide the same kind of solution implemented by Pfizer as a service. "The use case hasn't changed, but we're getting into more collaborative research with external parties," says Thangaraj. "Can imaging help us? Who is the knowledge expert? Who is using imaging? The trend is to collaborate or provide funding to these researchers."
Thangaraj offers an example: "If we have a site in Philadelphia that does some analysis, they can send this to another researcher to re-analyze the experiment. Now we have two independent sources of results. This ad hoc research happens frequently. Medical imaging plays a strong role. Over the last few months, that's the focus of our discussions. How do we get collaborators onto a common platform so straightforward to start to look and share images?"
"We want to stay focused on technology, but our partnership with Impact CoreLab enables us to provide services around our technology," says Thangaraj. "We can provide customers a one-stop shop from early research to clinical trials."

Goffstown police were working to track down an attempted robber.
Officers said a man walked into the A1 gas station on Mast Road on Wednesday around 10:15 p.m., showed the clerk a small wooden bat and demanded cash.
The clerk refused to give him any money, and the would-be robber took off empty-handed.
Authorities were investigating whether the incident could be connected to a similar robbery in Manchester.
In that case, officers said a man targeted the Shell gas station on Wednesday morning. He was also armed with a small wooden bat, and fled the scene with some money from the register.
Anyone with information on either of these crimes is asked to contact police.

Great news from Rhett Bollinger's blog this afternoon: Speaking of Tommy John surgery, Twins GM Terry Ryan shared some positive news about prospect Kyle Gibson, who had the surgery done on Sept. 7. Ryan said he expects Gibson to be back in action this summer, which means he's recovering at a good rate considering most pitchers need about 12 months to come back after the surgery. "He'll pitch this summer," Ryan said. "I think we anticipate him pitching this summer. In fact, I don't think, I know. It's not anything different than the schedule." Last I talked to Kyle, it was always within his timeline to pitch in 2012. This is the first time someone with the Twins has said anything to that effect.
Posted 25 February 2012 - 03:53 PM
Good to hear! Hopefully by the end of the year he has the confidence that the injury is behind him, and can come ready to contribute in 2013
Scouting Report: Power: 30, Hitting: 50, Arm: 60, Defense: 40, Speed: 40. "Line drive swing and shows good contact and on-base abilities. Double's power at his peak. Strong arm from 2B or the OF, stiff hands. Not a fast runner, but above average instincts on the bases. Skinny body doesn't look the part, but can sneak up on you. ACL surgery sapped much of his athleticism." (Probably)
Posted 25 February 2012 - 04:00 PM
Great to hear, with so many Twins pitchers eligible for free agency at the end of this season it is important that the Twins get Gibson healthy for the 2013 season. As Steve said, hopefully he can get some confidence that he is past the injury by the end of the year and be ready to contribute in 2013.
Posted 27 February 2012 - 05:05 PM
I was very excited when I saw these quotes about Gibson coming out. Hopefully everything continues to stay on track and he will be able to be ready for his debut in 2013.

With Pavano and Marquis gone, Liriano a free agent and Baker with a very expensive option, the Twins' rotation will look a lot different a year from now...

I can't even imagine who will be picked up, and scraped up out of the discount bin.
But I would anticipate Hendriks to have full shot at the rotation next year. Duensing/Diamond.
Will need a horse,but stars are hard to come by. IF/when Morneau retires, that and some of this other $$ could be thrown at someone like Greinke?
Posted 28 February 2012 - 11:04 AM
Barring a horrible year, Baker should be back and Blackburn is still under contract. Hendriks, I think, we'll eventually earn a rotation spot this year. That's 3 spots. I could see the Twins bringing back Pavano on another one year deal if he makes it through this year reasonably well. Gibson would certainly get slotted in to debut sometime in 2013 although I think they'd still have him start the season at AAA. I'm not sure we'll ever be big FA players for a Grienke type guy. (-sigh-) Maybe Wimmers has a big year. Maybe our #2 pick, if it's a college guy, could jump in early in 2013. If none of that happens though, it could be a year of Swarzak, Doyle, Diamond like guys all getting 10-12 starts until the league figures them out and the next guy comes in.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Volunteers gathered along the banks of the Potomac River outside of Shepherdstown on Saturday morning to do a little spring cleaning at one of Jefferson County's historic landmarks.
The historic cement mill, formerly known as Boteler's Cement Mill, was originally constructed in 1826 as a grist mill, but was converted to cement production in 1829 to aid in the construction of the C & O Canal.
The site was acquired by the Civil War Trust in September 2013. The property, located near the intersection of River Road and Trough Road, was purchased for $70,000 with funding from the American Battlefield Preservation Association Program, the Civil War Trust, the Jefferson County Historic Landmarks Commission and the Shepherdstown Battlefield Preservation Association.

Volunteers clean up the historic Cement Mill site, which played a part in the Battle of Shepherdstown during the Civil War. The cleaning efforts will ready the site for visitors in the future.
"The ability of several historical groups working together is what culminated in the purchase of this property," said Linda Gutsell, a lawyer for the Shepherdstown Battlefield Preservation Association. "Those familiar with the story of the Battle of Shepherdstown know this is the point where the Union troops, in pursuit of the army of Northern Virginia, crossed the river and pursued the Southern troops across land to the Osborne Farm, where the battle actually occurred."
According to Gutsell, the Battle of Shepherdstown resulted in the largest casualty in West Virginia, then Virginia, during the Civil War.
The Battle of Shepherdstown also played a part in the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
"It was this battle that actually compelled Abraham Lincoln to take that document out of his desk drawer, where it had been sitting unsigned for some time, and sign it. That's a significant part of history that our state shares in, and the SBPA is dedicated to preserving that history through securing and preserving as much of the property that was involved in the battle as possible," Gutsell said.
The morning's work began with the dedication of a new sign on the property, followed by a clean-up of the site. Volunteers removed branches and litter from the site, with the goal of enticing visitors in the future.
"Now that it's been acquired and it's going to be available as a historic site for people to visit, we've got to make it possible for them to walk around without tripping over sticks and garbage," Gutsell said.

Hearing Voices: Jocelyn Pook | Classical music reviews, news & interviews
Hearing Voices: Jocelyn Pook
The British composer discusses her unsettling, intimate and deeply personal new song cycle
"I am always fascinated by how much is in a voice, by their textures and qualities," says composer Jocelyn Pook. "They're like aural photographs of a person and you recognise them instantly." We are in her studio in north London and Pook flicks through audio-files in her computer to prove the point. Some of the voices she was chosen for their inherent musicality – voices on answerphones rise upwards as questions are asked and intervals are sounded for multi-syllabic words. Pook, an award-winning musician who often uses voices and vocal rhythms – real, sampled and digitally pitchshifted – in her compositions, is fascinated by the creative possibilities that the human voice affords.
But what happens when the voices prove untrustworthy? Hearing Voices, Pook's extraordinarily intimate new song cycle, which receives its world premiere at the Southbank tomorrow night, tackles that question head on. Commissioned by the BBC Concert Orchestra, Hearing Voices is one of five works relating, loosely, to mental health and psychic productions, within the evening's H7steria event and the programme works by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Schoenberg and an arrangement of a song by the rock group Muse. Scored for orchestra, taped voices and singer Melanie Pappenheim, the mezzo soprano who is a fixture in Pook's compositions, Hearing Voices is based around an aural sleight of hand: it makes audible the internalised voices that people keep to themselves. Pook's song cycle is about madness and the experiences of five separate women with hearing voices, but beyond that, it's specifically about feminine madness and about the arena in which madness is presented and constrained.
The hugely responsive music supports the stories themselves – not necessarily sweetly
What makes Hearing Voices so personal to the composer is that, out of the five real-life women in the song cycle speaking of their experiences of madness, four are known to Pook and two – her great-aunt Phyllis Williams and her mother, Mary Cecil Pook, who died last year – are close relatives. Mary, along with artists Bobby Baker (whom Pook has worked with several times in the past) and Julie McNamara are present in the forms of recorded interviews that Pook conducted with them. There is only one historical character – Agnes Richter, a German seamstress, who was in a state asylum for many years in the early 20th century. While there, Richter made a jacket from the rags of hospital uniforms and it was onto the jacket's every available surface that she embroidered messages. "It's covered with text, some of it decipherable, some of it not," Pook says. While some words attributed to Richter in Hearing Voices are the product of dramaturge Emma Bernard, Pook uses many phrases that are Agnes' own: "I plunge headlong into disaster" is one of these that Pook has set to music.
"The writing interested me greatly, it's a real theme in mental illness," Pook says. "I think it's partly writing in protest and partly writing as the need to make some sense of what is happening to you." The survival of the jacket is down to its inclusion in the collection of outsider art created by psychiatrist and art historian Hans Prinzhorn; and Pook first came across it in a groundbreaking book, Agnes's Jacket: A Psychologist's Search for the Meanings of Madness, by American academic Gail Hornstein. While Hornstein's account of the jacket and its hidden meanings was certainly a powerful spur to the writing of Hearing Voices, Pook's inspiration came from of her own family and great-aunt Phyllis, who was in an institution for 25 years, in particular.
"Phyllis came from a very conventional army family in the Channel Islands," says Pook, handing me a photograph taken in the 1900s. It shows a young woman surrounded by a family of boys and men. She went to finishing school in Switzerland, moved to Italy between the wars and in the Thirties moved to London. It was there, in a small flat in Notting Hill Gate, that her breakdown began. Phyllis heard voices: at first they were benign. "I ask myself, is it the thought I hear or are they speaking out loud?" she wrote in her diaries, which Pook and her mother received after Phyllis's death. "There seems to a regular company of people surrounding me all the time so I cannot complain of loneliness," Phyllis recorded on 24 December 1934. Within days, the tenor of the voices has changed and the writings are becoming agitated. She is called an "accidental woman" and the voices are ordering her to starve herself to death. By 6 January 1935, Phyllis is writing about outcasts, lepers and her "separation from God". The voices are so loud and incessant she has trouble recording them. Pook says: "I end it with Phyllis with her hands over her ears and singing a hymn to try to block the voices out."
