The Table shows the clinical, epidemiologic, and pathologic characteristics of patients with HCV-related mixed cryoglobulinemia. The mean duration of mixed cryoglobulinemia syndrome was 9.2 ± 5.2 years. Most of these patients (91%) had chronic liver diseases. Liver biopsy showed chronic hepatitis in 27 patients (72.9%) and cirrhosis in 7 patients (18.9%); of the latter patients, 1 also had superimposed hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver biopsy was not performed in the remaining 3 patients because they had persistently normal alanine aminotransferase levels. Other frequent systemic manifestations were peripheral neuropathy (89%) and the sicca syndrome (41%). Four patients had clinically overt B-cell lymphoma, 1 had mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)–derived marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (gastric MALT lymphoma), 1 had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and 2 had follicular lymphomas. The patient with MALT lymphoma also had evidence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Serum mixed cryoglobulins with rheumatoid factor were detected in all patients (type II in 20 patients and type III in 17 patients), and 92% of patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia had low levels of complement C4.
Translocation of the gene from chromosome 18 to a position adjacent to the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene on chromosome 14 results in deregulated overexpression of Bcl-2 antiapoptotic protein. J = IgH joining segment; C = IgH constant region. Bcl-2 and Bax are homologous proteins that have opposing effects on cell survival: Bcl-2 blocks apoptosis, and Bax promotes it. The ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax is important in determining susceptibility to apoptosis. The t(14; 18) translocation causes increases in the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax and inhibition of B-cell apoptosis.
"Bcl-2," "N segment," and "JH" represent sequences of the /J junction corresponding to the gene (chromosome 18), N-segment and J region of the IgH gene (chromosome 14), respectively. Alignment was done on (GenBank accession number M14745) and IgH gene J regions (accession number M25625) (line bcl-2/J ). "Pre" and "post" designate sequences corresponding to peripheral blood samples obtained before and after interferon-α treatment, respectively. Dots indicate identical nucleotides. Gaps in sequences (–) were introduced for clarity.
Immunoblot analysis showing expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from two patients with hepatitis C virus infection and type II mixed cryoglobulinemia (patients 15 and 33) and from two healthy persons who served as negative controls. Ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax in two patients with hepatitis C virus infection and type II mixed cryoglobulinemia (patients 15 and 33) and from two healthy persons who served as negative controls. Expression of Bcl-2 protein in B cells and in non–B peripheral blood mononuclear cells (T cells and monocytes and macrophages) separated from peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples of three patients with the t(14;18) translocation. Lanes 1 and 2 show data in patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia (number 15 and 33). Lane 3 shows data from a patient with chronic liver disease but not mixed cryoglobulinemia.

Speed Of Light
186,282 miles per second
impossible to exceed by acceleration
One foot per nanosecond - about 10^6 times the speed of sound, which is one foot per millisecond.
299792458 m/s in vacuum.
The meter is defined as 1/299792458th the distance light travels in vacuum in a second nowadays. This only makes sense, because light wavelengths are the most accurate form of measurement currently at our disposal. It also makes for fewer decimal places to remember.
More flippantly, perhaps less usefully, it's:
the square root of (energy divided by mass).
the square root of the reciprocal of the product of the permittivity and permeability constants.
somewhat slower than Hammy the Squirrel in the denoument of "Over the Hedge"
So there you are.
"What do you mean? A European speed of light or a Bose-Einstein condensate speed of light?" (with apologies to Monty Python)
:-) But since you bring it up: there's only one speed of light. When people talk about the speed of light varying in different media, that's a shorthand/euphemism for rather complex phenomenon, and a reasonably descriptive euphemism -- but not
Why does this page exist? Can we have
in units people are likely to understand please?
1m in pi nanoseconds?
1km in pi micro-seconds?
North Pole to Equator in 33 thousandths of a second?
Eight times round the world in one second?
Sun to Earth in 8 minutes?
What units would you like? If you're a programmer, or a scientist, how is it that you are not capable of converting units for yourself?
as a physicist I'd usually use 3*10^8 m/s (or 1 and convert other quantities e.g. energy in eV )
Well the problem is that most of the world does metric and a small portion of the world does more archaic units. Therefore it wouldn't be fair to enumerate the speed in units "we" would understand because some people will not understand it. I therefore submit that the speed of light is 1799884800000 furlongs per fortnight.
Oh fine. 299337984 meters per second
Do people really find 300,000,000 metres/sec easier to grasp than 1 foot/nanosecond? Just how far is 3*10^8 metres? Can you truly grasp that?
Well, while 3 hundred million metres/sec is useful most of time, the guys that design our circuit boards find that a little clumsy (except for our earlier boards, which were several billion metres across).
Yes, but only because we want to calculate another quantity in SI units. approx 9*10^8 feet. Just how quick is a nanosecond, can you truly grasp that? The speed of light doesn't really make sense in a human way, SI units are a nice consistent way of dealing with dimensions when plugging constants like this into equations, which is the only time numbers like the speed of light are useful, it just isn't a number that is useful on a human scale. --
Sampling at 50 MHz, the speed of light corresponds to a 3 metres intersample distance for radar. And no, there isn't a factor of two error here, that's left as an exercise for
If the radar is being used within the atmosphere, the speed of light is different from the above constant. It's also different in water and glass -- hence refraction. By the way, I always used 1 ft/nsec during my hardware days in the seventies. Even then, computers were fast enough that backplanes and external buses had significant transmission-line effects.--
was also known for carrying around a "nanosecond". It was a one-foot length of copper wire, which, of course, is that distance that electricity will travel in that length of time. (See
) Remember, this was back in the '70s. Her point was if we were going to build computers with cycle speeds faster than 1MHz we would have to put the logic boards closer to each other than the one foot they were in the machines of the late '60s and '70s. Basically, she envisioned the advent of microprocessors.
My father attended a lecture by Commodore Hopper where she distributed some nanoseconds, followed by packets of pepper - picoseconds.
Not exactly. Supercomputers in the 1960s already had to take distance vs the speed of light into account (actually, the speed of signal propagation, which is a large percentage of the speed of light, not c itself). Same issues arose in the analog domain with high frequence (especially radar).
If you're dealing with the speed of light on a regular basis, you probably want to use PlanckUnits
, where c = 1. This is the appeal of 1 foot/nanosecond; it's only a power of 10 from the appropriate Planck unit, so you don't need to carry around numeric constants. SI is just as arbitrary as any other unit system when you're using ScientificNotation
; PlanckUnits
are sometimes described as "God's own units" because they let you drop the constants from most of the laws of physics. --
Frequently called "natural units".
Yes - all unit systems are arbitrary, hence 1 foot/nanosecond is not universally easier to understand than 3*10^8 m/s. I don't consider having a numeric constant that is
to a power of ten an advantage over one which is close to 3 times a power of ten, but then I've been brought up with the metric system alongside imperial units. I would use PlanckUnits
normally but that is because I normally don't mind getting an energy in MeV, it's all about the units you want to end up in (which
an arbitrary choice
a 3rd party supplies one of the numbers in particular units, if you don't use their units you will need a numerical constant to convert units anyway). --
Natural units/Planck units are arguably not arbitrary, the only such.

I want to hear from YOU.
A couple weeks ago, I made a plea for surfers get in touch with me. I got some great feedback that will lead to some great upcoming sports sections.
Now, I want to hear from anyone that has any type of sports related story they think I should hear. I know there's got to be a ton of interesting athletes in St. Johns County, and I want to learn about them. I want you to let me know what I'm missing.
Send me an email, (email@example.com) or hit me up on Twitter (@CodyErbacher).
I have no idea if it is going to lead to more business in the long run, but I give Tampa Bay Rays ownership credit for providing 20,000 free tickets for tonight's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Many have criticized the Tampa Bay fans for not supporting the team enough (attendance is 22nd in the major leagues) despite a stellar record. A lot of owners would've whined about lack of support or maybe used it as a threat to build pressure for a new stadium. Instead, the team is doing something nice for people who want to support it but maybe can't justify the cost of a ticket.
If you're a welcomed member of the anti-LeBron James club, you've run out of luck. Thankfully, the NBA season is upon us and so is the cloud of doom the King brings with him. If you thought that "The Decision" was the final straw, you were terribly mistaken. Thanks to his selfish desire to join the Miami Heat, we will now be subjected to an intriguing story that is also unbearable. ESPN is following the Heat around. So is every news outlet in American apparently. I, for one, would rather spend my time being tortured. It can't possibly be worse.
Contrary to what some people may believe, I don't hate the Jaguars. But what do you want me to say?
After games like Sunday's loss to the Eagles, I'm speechless. I can either point out how horrible it was to watch, or I can keep quiet. What positives can you take from that game? Well, it seems like they can't cover anybody (again) and David Garrard is simply playing awful. Clearly, there's plenty of time to get things straight. However, there is little going right as of now. If I was a Jaguars fan I would keep my hand close to the panic button.
We're now a month into the college football season, so we finally know a little bit about what this year is all about:
* Alabama is still the team nobody in their right mind wants to play. Arkansas had a chance on its home field Saturday.
* I have no idea who is going to win the Heisman, but right now I'd be tempted to vote for 'Bama's Mark Ingram.
* Despite what much of the world wants you to believe, Boise State is a very good football team. That win over Va. Tech will look good at the end of the season. Right, Boston College? Stuart Korfhage
Stray thoughts.
I've been hearing for I don't know how long that the Miami football team is on its way back to becoming an elite program. Well, the 'Canes got stuck in traffic a few times, but I would say that the team is now solidly headed in the right direction. That's not to say Jacory Harris is a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate -- because he isn't. And Miami is not a serious national title contender this year. But a strong showing at Ohio State and a nice win at Pittsburgh has me thinking the 'Canes could be as good as anybody in the ACC this season.
There are moments in sports that you will never be able to forget because an athlete simply choked in one of the most defining moments of his athletic career. Chris Webber calling a timeout when he didn't have one in the 1993 NCAA basketball championship game; Phil Mickelson losing a lead on the 72nd hole in the 2006 U.S. Open; baseball goats Bill Buckner and Mitch Williams losing World Series games in true choke artist fashion. Well, that list grew by one on Wednesday.
After what Joe Torre accomplished in New York as a manager, it's hard to imagine anybody really getting angry with him. I guess that doesn't include Mets manager Jerry Manuel, who is reportedly miffed because Torre mentioned he is "curious" about managing the Mets in 2011. Manuel took offense because he hasn't been fired yet. The key word is yet. Manuel is 199-206 over 2 ½ seasons, and the Mets are in fourth place right now. I'll agree that Torre showed some degree of poor taste in discussing the Mets job, but there is no reason for Manuel to get really upset.
All around the NFL, non-producing quarterbacks are getting shown the bench this week. Hey, fans don't buy tickets to watch their teams flounder. That brings me to the Philadelphia Eagles, who have received six solid quarters of play from Michael Vick. Now they're going back to Kevin Kolb. I know coach Andy Reid has said all along that Kolb is his No. 1 guy. But the NFL is about winning now. You develop players in training camp and preseason. On Sunday, you have to put your best players on the field.
Some stray thoughts.
Funny how the Gators are being lauded for their ability to win ugly games. Last season, people were ready to riot when Florida didn't triple its opponent's score. This just goes to show you that no matter what happens, one thing about UF football remains the same: Their fans are spoiled. ...
I feel a little bad for the Jaguars. This was a terrible game, but it's not the end of the world. I just hope everybody, fans and players, can just take it and move on. They're still 1-1.

Of Interest. I came across a George GORDGE that died in Wedderburn, Victoria, in 1888 aged 67 years. His parents were named as Samuel GORDGE and Annie LONGRIDGE. Looking at the parents names I'm certain this will be the brother of Samuel. Now need to confirm if the mother was LOVERIDGE or LONGRIDGE.

didn't do my planned LHT today. pre-bedtime anxiety has left me dog-tired. middle child went to bed 2 hours early and before eating dinner, complaining of a tummy ache. i hope she's not going to be sick tomorrow. i measured my waist, down 1.5"! i'm sure it's the exercise, so i really must work harder to keep that up.

haha, yeah other kids. my children are just too holy. j/k
no, i meant the other providers which didn't seem decent. one had two dogs (boxer and shih tzu), and she "usually" keeps the dogs outside because the shih tzu "gets too excited for the kids", and another care provider was talking about putting my 19 month old in time out if he "disrespects" her rules. the second is already caring for 9 kids, mostly by herself, except that her husband stops in throughout the day. my kids are generally helpful and cooperative, but i don't think they'd handle authoritarianism too well. maybe i'm just really picky, but i don't feel comfortable with those scenarios. all of the other providers which seemed ok were the same price as the center close to my classes.
i think i found a solution, but i deleted it because i'm paranoid and it was way too much info for a public forum (you never know who's lurking!).

although sleep deprivation no doubt had a role in this, the schedule i laid out wasn't really working for me, so i'm going to modify it. i think i'm better served by sprinting twice a week for 5 min rather than pushing myself to 10 min once a week. also, i shouldn't expect myself to LHT for 30 minutes at a time, that's obviously too long for me. so here's the new modified schedule:
Sun: sprint 5 min (jump rope, quick run, mountain climbers, race with kids in the backyard) MFSP 30 min (dedicated to yoga)
Mon LHT (BW: squats, pushups, weighted bridges, leg lifts)
Tue: MFSP 30 min
Wed: LHT (BW)
Thur: sprint 5 min, MFSP 30 min (dedicated to yoga)
Fri: LHT (BW)
Sat: MFSP 30 min
for the LHT portion, here's what i intend to do, to failure:
weighted bridges (28#)
dolphin pose
weighted squats (28#)
those somethings, which i don't remember what they're called
nose-to-the ground girly pushups
while sprinting, i'm focusing on mountain climbers and squats, adding in jumping jacks and jogging in place as a sort of "rest" while keeping my heart rate up.
i sprinted today for 5 minutes, will yoga tonight after the kids are in bed. i'm eating appropriately and within bounds, but i'm getting really tired of logging my food intake, so i won't for now.
i'm making a few assumptions here, but i think i've got the childcare thing worked out. i need to chillax, the little guy will be in care for 9 hours a week, split into three days. the center seemed like a decent place for kids, i think he can handle it. i'm not worried about #2, i know she'll be happy where she's going. i have no clue how i'm going to fare in chemistry, but i know i'm going to like the other class, so assuming my (specific, unmentioned) assumptions were correct, everything is going to be okay. worst case scenario, i'll have to defer enrollment until summer or fall. it's not that big of a deal.

Glad you got it worked out. That kind of stuff can drive you crazy.
it really can. i think i have most of it squared away. one of my assumptions was incorrect, so i had to improvise, and then my adviser missed that i didn't have the prerequisites for one of the classes, so i have to pick another one (at a different time, which affects childcare), but i think it's going to work out. i'm not too happy about the kids eating the center's food, but i'm going to have to suck it up.
It sucks when you work so hard and then you find out that things have changed or that the kids are eating junk, but in the end, hopefully it will all be worth it. Feed the kids well at home and just do the best you can with what you can. There will be challenges and comprimises for all, but there is also a lesson in it for all of you. I just hope you can make it all work because this really is a huge thing you are attempting. Don't give up and you will succeed!
it could be worse. they have an onsite cook who makes the meals from scratch, and the kids will only be there for 3 meals per week. i talked with the center's director about my son's ECC, and she was at least okay with me providing a special sweet treat (xylitol candies) instead of the skittles they give kids. i'm going to just sigh and overlook the rest.
i missed my LHT yesterday, the day was simply too busy. the first opportunity i had for it was around 10:30 last night, so i did it today. i decided it's better NOT to go to failure if it means i dread and inevitably avoid LHT day, and also that i needed to incorporate stretches into my routine.
a bit of stretching (mostly legs and lower back)
2 minutes of dolphin pose, followed by child's pose
10 one-legged bridges on each side (this was somewhat weighted, as i had a toddler crawling all over me)
10 of those things that i still don't know what to call them
2 sets of 10 weighted squats (28#)
8 girly pushups
can i just whine for a second? it's so frustrating to try to work out around toddlers. grumble grumble grumble

Farfield Friends Meeting House
Near Addingham, West Yorkshire | Listed Grade II*
History and Architecture
Anthony Myers, of Catgill near Bolton Abbey, provided land for a Quaker burial ground at Farfield in 1666. Three years later he gave an adjoining plot for the meeting house, which was built later that year. It is a simple single cell building with stone walls and mullioned windows. The roof is stone slated and supported by a single king post truss. Its floor is stone flagged. Apart from two loose benches, the only fitting is the oak minister's stand, of an unusual panelled design with turned balusters.
In the burial-ground is a row of five table-tombs commemorating the Myers family. These are rare features in a Quaker burial ground and provide evidence of a commemorative practice that the Quakers subsequently discouraged.
A free 2-page guide can be downloaded here.
Repair and Regeneration
HCT completed a programme of repair in the mid 1990s. HCT leases a piece of land adjacent to the Meeting House where there is a small picnic and parking area for visitors.

An incredible amount of elaborate braiding and chain wrapping creates such detailing that render her work visually stunning. Rose and horn lucky charms, along with Alyssa's trademark tassels make up the finishing touches. All of these elements come to play, bringing her pieces a refined tribal and ethnic vibe that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

Guidelines for Using the NFPA-distributed Video What Every Parent Should Know
Practice Turns Knowing Into Doing The most important point is that parents and caregivers need to conduct home fire escape drills. In order for children to take the knowledge they learn in school from the firefighter-educator about home escape plans, and translate that into action in real-life situations, children must practice.
What to Notice in the Film When the children actually practiced the home fire escape drill, they reacted correctly. Practice instilled confidence. Practice helped the children who said they understood what they should do, to actually be able to do it. The lesson parents and caregivers need to take home is that practice is the key.
Parents and Caregivers Need to Pick Up Where the Classroom Leaves Off Firefighters and teachers can give children the knowledge of what to do in an emergency. Parents and caregivers are the only ones who can help children turn that understanding into useable knowledge by conducting drills after children have fallen asleep. Parents and caregivers are responsible for fire safety in the home and making sure there are working smoke alarms, developing and practicing an individual home escape plan. Each family needs to make its own plan for its own house that takes into account the needs of each member.
Drills Help You Adjust Individual Family Escape Plans If a child does not wake up to the sound of the smoke alarm, or needs help escaping for any reason, the time to find out is during the home fire drill, not during an actual fire emergency. Just as a family's plan will include how to assist babies or physically or mentally challenged children in escaping, children who do not awake to the sound of the smoke alarm may need adult assistance in escaping.
Build a Plan Around Individual Family's Needs Families may need to adjust their own plan; for example, when adults awake to the sound of the smoke alarm, they go to the child's room and exit the home from there. These are not things that can be done or known in the classroom; they can only be done at home by children's parents and caregivers.
What Parents & Caregivers Should Do
What Adults Need to Know About Home Escape Plans - Have 2 Ways Out of Every Room and a Meeting Place
Additional Points Adults Should Remember
Special Points of Caution Some people will discount the value of smoke alarms - it is important to remind people that even if some children won't wake up, many will, and more importantly, the adults will and should be prepared to act quickly.
It is important for parents and caregivers to find out if their children will wake up to the sound of the smoke alarm and once they are awake, what they will do. Time is your enemy in a fire.

Game 6 showdown between Heat and Pacers
As with competitive NBA playoff series, we're seeing a back and forth between two excellent teams, and each game seems to produce a new conventional wisdom that the media will beat to death. The latest has Lebron James winning these games on his own in "Cleveland" mode, with Chris Both and Dwyane Wade doing their best impressions of disappearing magicians.
As with every "theme' coming out of one game, things can change very quickly. The main characteristics of Lebron's days in Cleveland were games like this when he couldn't miss a shot, often followed by big games where he would clank up threes at the worst time and then wilt under pressure. Lebron is now much more mature and consistent, but there's no guarantee that he can continue his torrid shooting in game 6.
Also, everyone is ripping on Dwyane Wade as he seems to age right before our eyes, but Wade is still capable of scoring outbursts that can help carry the Heat.
Then we have Chris Anderson. He should have been tossed in game 5, but the NBA at least got it right by booting him for game 6.
On the other side, Indiana needs to find someone to help out Roy Hibbert and Paul George. Lance Stevenson has been huge in their wins, but has had a hard time in Indiana's losses. They need him to play well.
I think tonight's game is a tossup, and if Indiana pulls it out, anything can happen in game 7 even though the Heat will be favored at home. It should be interesting . . .

Last week, AFL-CIO union czar Richard Trumka (download the Foundation's Fact Sheet on his history of condoning union violence and corruption) made headlines by predicting that the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill will pass in early 2010. The heated debate over the health care overhaul legislation has kept the public eye off this other union boss power grab for a few months, but Trumka's prediction makes it clear Big Labor's high command haven't forgotten about their highest priority.
The Card Check Forced Unionism Bill would effectively eliminate workers' right to a secret ballot in workplace unionization drives and replace it with overt union intimidation:
Under the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill, the provisions of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) that refer to the secret ballot election would be rendered a dead letter, even though they are not technically stricken from federal law.
Big Labor spin artists can claim all they want that the workers can still "choose" to have a secret ballot election, but there simply is no way by which workers can force union bosses to file for a secret ballot election -- and it is union bosses, not workers, who are in possession of the cards. Reporters who repeat this union boss talking point owe their readers a correction.
Read the full analysis here. Union bosses prefer card check instant organizing because it puts all of the power in their hands -- free from the meddling interference of government election supervisors and the workers themselves.
Fortunately, we already know what card check campaigns look like. Unfortunately, we only know this because hardworking Americans have been subjected to harassment, intimidation, and coercion by union bosses to get them to sign cards. In the video below, Dana Corporation employees in Albion, Indiana, shared their stories with the National Right to Work Committee.
The National Right to Work Committee warns to beware of any bogus compromises under the guise of protecting the secret ballot. One of the most dangerous aspect of the "compromise" talks is the lack of focus on the other toxic provision of the Card Check Forced Unionism Bill: mandatory binding arbitration.
Under the bill, workers won't just lose the right to a secret ballot when deciding whether or not to form a union. Even those who choose to join a union's ranks may see their voting rights severely limited, as mandatory binding arbitration would allow government bureaucrats to impose contracts on workers. That means union members may not even be able to vote to ratify their contracts: Whatever the government says... goes.
Even Far Left icon George McGovern knows this is a terrible idea. And as Reason Foundation analyst Shikha Dalmia detailed in the Wall Street Journal, states' experiments with mandatory binding arbitration and public sector unions have led to atrocious results -- including out of control budgets and fiscal mismanagement.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Garcia Takes Lead in Wyndham Championship
Sergio Garcia fired a 4-under 66 to take the 54-hole lead in the Wyndham Championship. The $5.2 million PGA Tour event began Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.
Garcia carded five birdies and only one bogey Saturday to reach 14-under 196, one stroke ahead of Bud Cauley (66) and South African Tim Clark (67).
On Sunday Garcia will be looking for his first PGA Tour title since the 2008 Players Championship and is focused on the final round. "I'll go out there, I'll try to play as well as I can," said the 32-year-old Spaniard.
"I'm trying to shoot the lowest score I can and hopefully that would be good enough to have a good solid chance at winning the tournament. We'll see. I'd love to have a crystal ball and tell you exactly what I need to shoot but, unfortunately, I can't." (See below for his full post-round interview.)
The 22-year-old Cauley, who turned pro in 2011 and carded five birdies and a bogey in the third round, is looking for his first Tour title. 'Going to be a lot of fun," he said of Sunday. "I love this golf course. I've got to keep trying to do what I'm doing. See what happens."
Sharing fourth at 198 are Jason Dufner (63), Harris English (68) and 2008 Wyndham winner Carl Pettersson (68). Davis Love III (66) is tied for seventh with Matt Every (68) and second-round leader Jimmy Walker, who posted a 71.
Dufner was understandably thrilled with his 7-under effort. "You know, today was a great day," he said. "Kind of what I needed to get back in this tournament, post a low score and kind be in the mix tomorrow depending on what the leaders, how they finish. So, good move and I'll be looking forward to tomorrow to try to make a run at the championship."
Defending champion Webb Simpson, who began the third round one shot behind Walker, shot a 71 to drop into a tie for 10th with six others at 200.
For all the scores, visit http://www.pgatour.com/r/leaderboard.
After signing his scorecard, Garcia met with reporters and discussed his day.
MODERATOR: All right. We will jump right in. We'd like to welcome 3rd round Wyndham Championship leader, Sergio Garcia. 4-under 66 today. Got you right where you want to be heading into the final round with a one stroke lead. Get some comments on the round today and then, you know, I guess where you finished 4th, I think one shot out of a playoff. So is there a little bit of revenge seeking?
SERGIO GARCIA: No, not at all. I try not to be like that. You know, obviously I would love to be two, three shots better but, you know, we're in a good situation. Like you said, the lead going into tomorrow, it's going to be a tough day. There's no doubt about it. Lot of very good players behind me trying to achieve the same thing I'm trying to achieve. So, you know, hopefully I'll go out there tomorrow, play well again and give ourselves a good shot at winning and see if we can finish in the same position that I was today.
MODERATOR: With that, we'll take some questions.
Q. Sergio, with so many bunched up, the field so bunched up today, what's the mindset? Do you have to think birdies on this course or what will you think about tomorrow?
SERGIO GARCIA: 18 pars are not going to win it. 14-under par is not going to win it. You have to make some birdies out there. We'll see. I don't have a number. I'm not going to say I need to shoot 4-under, 5-under or whatever. You know, someone might go out and shoot 9-under and 5-under is not good enough. I'll go out there, I'll try to play as well as I can. I'm trying to shoot the lowest score I can and hopefully that would be good enough to have a good solid chance at winning the tournament. We'll see. I'd love to have a crystal ball and tell you exactly what I need to shoot but, unfortunately, I can't.
Q. What's working well for you this week? You're No. 1 in scrambling. Your short game right there for you?
SERGIO GARCIA: Well, usually when you're up amongst the leaders you're doing a lot of good things, things right. You know, I've managed to hit a good amount of fairways which is important, a good amount of greens, too. The ones that I missed I've got up and down almost every time, which is great and, you know, just the last couple of days I managed to roll a couple putts at the right moment. So, you know, overall it's been just quite consistent, I guess.
Q. Sergio how many holes did you hit driver on?
SERGIO GARCIA: Not many. I don't know. Probably five, four, five at the most.
Q. Sergio, you won twice last year in Europe. How much would it mean to win over here with the Ryder Cup thing and everything to sort of being under the gun to do it now?
SERGIO GARCIA: Winning is great. Winning means a lot no matter what. Obviously putting myself in a situation to win is already a good achievement but winning, no matter what it is, it's great. Winning is never easy. It doesn't matter if it's Asian Tour, South African Tour, European Tour. I mean the Tour wins last year in Europe meant to me, meant as much or even more than the ones I've had here. So, at the end of the day, the most important thing, the importance I have give to the victories, not anybody else.
Q. You seem to be in command of your game. When was the last time you felt this in control of everything with confidence and the playing of the game?
SERGIO GARCIA: Well, I wouldn't say I'm - I feel fairly good. I've obviously felt much better. I think that Sweden, for example, this year, I felt like I was hitting the ball better than this week. I think that, you know, there's no doubt that I've been doing some things right and that's why I'm in the position I am. But, you know, I need to keep hopefully getting better and improving in all aspects of my game and, you know, if I manage to do that, then I can get back to, you know, where I was in probably 2008 or so.
Q. Sergio, have you changed caddies this week? Is there a new guy on your bag?
SERGIO GARCIA: Yeah. It's local guy.
Q. That's what I thought. How local?
SERGIO GARCIA: How local? I don't know. He's from close. Not from here exactly but just a little north or something.
Q. What effect did that have, if anything?
SERGIO GARCIA: He's carrying the bag great and, you know, he's doing what he's supposed to do. He hasn't done anything wrong. He hasn't pulled any wrong clubs or read any putts wrong. He hasn't had the chance yet so (laughter) - he's been very good.
MODERATOR: Anyone else? All right. Sergio, best of luck tomorrow. Hope to see you back here.
SERGIO GARCIA: Thank you.

With CBA news still swirling, today may be the last chance for a while to talk about non-pressing issues. Today, reader Ben F. chimes in with a defense of Dwight Freeney's Hall of Fame case. My thoughts appear after the jump.
I know that it's premature to judge Dwight Freeney's career. But as he is, right now, regardless of what he's destined to do, he's a surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer, and anyone who argues otherwise doesn't know ANYTHING about football.
He has been, since he entered the NFL, the scourge of left tackles and defensive coordinators everywhere. He is as feared by his competitors (NFL 2000s All-Decade Team; Ranked 15th in NFL Network's Top 100 Players of 2011) as he is admired by the media (4-time All-Pro selection; AFC Defensive Player of the Year 2005) as he is adored by the fans (6-time Pro-Bowl selection). Who got the only sack in Super Bowl XLIV? Dwight Freeney, playing on one (expletive) leg.
Dwight Freeney is the grease that makes the Indy defense work. Without him, the defense couldn't stop a crumpled-up piece of newspaper. Furthermore, he is a terror around the league. For example, if you asked Peyton which DE he fears the most, he probably wouldn't have a good answer. That's because the most feared DE in the league plays for his team. Tom Brady and 30 other guys would say "Dwight Freeney". His trademark spin has revolutionized the position, yet is immune to imitation. In that sense, he's sort of like a Wilt Chamberlain: he's successful because he can do things no-one else can. He has been a consistent producer for going on a decade, and he's six sacks away from 100 after only nine years in the league.
He checks all the boxes. Has he ever led the league in sacks? Yes, in 2004, with 16. How many years has he had ten or more sacks? Seven of nine so far. Super Bowl ring? Got that, and two appearances in which he played vital roles. In addition, he is simply The MASTER of the sack-fumble; he's forced 40 fumbles in his career. How many did the newly-enshrined Richard Dent force in his 15-year, 137.5-sack career? Only 37. Heck, Reggie White only forced 33 in his whole career!
I could go on and on about what a crucial, important, and special player 93 is (just ask my wife). But I think you get my point. Which is, if Dwight Freeney isn't wearing a golden jacket five years to the day from when he retires, it will be a massive injustice, no matter WHAT happens between then and now.
As an addendum, I'd like to point out that as Dwight is clearly a HoF DE, he ought to have a good shot at sustaining the kind of long, productive careers that is typical of other HoF DEs. I think we can still expect a good future for him, especially because he heals fast and keeps himself in peak physical condition.
While I admire Ben's passion, I have to disagree with him.
Dwight Freeney is on a Hall of Fame trajectory, but he has not arrived yet.
While everything Ben said of Freeney is true, his career lacks the kind of volume depth that punches tickets for Canton. That is to say, Freeney has had the right kind of peak, but especially for defensive players, it requires peak and longevity to make the Hall of Fame.
It is my belief that Freeney needs at least 30-40 more sacks in his career to reach the level necessary for enshrinement. Check out the career leaders in sacks on Pro Football Reference. The following names leap off the page:
Kevin Greene (5 PB, 2 AP), Indy native Chris Doleman (8 PB, 2 AP), Leslie O'Neal (6 PB), Neil Smith (6 PB, 1 AP)
I'm not even going to talk guys like Strahan, Taylor and Porter who aren't eligible yet. There are plenty of guys who not only have similar resumes to Freeney in terms of post-season honors, but ALSO have more than 120 sacks. None of those guys are in the Hall of Fame yet, and I don't see Freeney leapfrogging them unless he picks up a lot more sacks before he's done.
The simple fact is that Freeney's odds of enshrinement will skyrocket if he gets 40 more sacks to break into the top 10 all time. If he only gets 30 more, he'd finish around 125, good for 12th. He essentially has to get at least that far up the list to get serious consideration.
Ben is right about Freeney, but wrong about what it takes to get into the Hall.
The good news is that 31 is not old for a defensive end. Freeney still should have five or so seasons left of productive play. If two or three are at a Pro Bowl level, he should get very close to the threshold for enshrinement.

Anti-Semitism to be Confronted Head-On at European Meeting
By Abraham H. Foxman
National Director of the Anti-Defamation League
Note: This op-ed appeared in the
Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles
on May 7, 2004.
April 29, 2004
As delegates from 55 nations convene at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Conference on anti-Semitism in Berlin on April 28 and 29, it is an appropriate time to take stock of Europe's progress in addressing the re-emergence of anti-Semitism as a potent threat.
There are, indeed, some things to cheer about. If we compare today to where matters stood a year ago, a significant difference is the willingness of European leaders to acknowledge there is a problem. Denial is out.
French President Jacques Chirac, after more than two years of avoiding the issue, now recognizes that anti-Semitism in France is a problem. He has denounced it publicly as unacceptable. Following the publication of a European poll that found more Europeans seeing Israel as a threat to peace than any other country, Romano Prodi, the President of the European Commission, recognized the seriousness of this kind of thinking and organized a conference in Brussels in response. And the E.U. Monitoring group has conducted a full-blown report on anti-Semitism in Europe in response to the worsening situation.
Beyond the end of denial, steps have been taken and structures put in place to combat the hatred, most notably in France. President Chirac established a special task force, led by Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin and including the Ministers of Justice, Interior, Education, and Foreign Affairs. The group meets monthly, with each minister expected to report on what his ministry has done in the past month to deal with anti-Semitism.
Already, a number of initiatives have emerged from this structure, among them Holocaust education projects for the schools and legislation that would prohibit hateful satellite broadcasts from the Middle East. Aside from the substantive efforts, the message of seriousness emanating from the highest levels of government was important in itself.
The coming together of leaders from the 55 OSCE participating nations this week represents the move beyond an end of denial toward commitment to take action. The task now before those leaders is to concretize and institutionalize the fight against anti-Semitism.
The Berlin meeting and all such efforts are only as meaningful as the follow-up framework they leave behind after the photo-ops are over. Sustained, long-term monitoring, law enforcement action and education efforts must be championed by the OSCE conference and put into place by participating states.
Europe still has a long way to go. The gap between what is being done and what needs to be done is symbolized by the recent release of the E.U. Monitoring Center study of Anti-Semitism. The report itself suggested that the surge in anti-Semitic incidents in Europe in the last two years was mostly the result of action by radical Muslim activists acting on anti-Israel emotions.
But in releasing the report, the EUMC felt compelled to sanitize the findings -- focusing first on anti-Semitism perpetrated by "young disaffected White European[s]." Not surprisingly, the international media used this as the focus for their stories, and so to much of the world, that became the story.
This speaks to the continuing reluctance of Europe to address satisfactorily the connection of anti-Israel bias to the explosion of anti-Semitism. Those of us involved in discussions about the agenda for the Berlin conference recognize the dilemma: If the Israel issue is addressed forcefully there is the danger that all discussions could be politicized, potentially undermining the conference itself. On the other hand, if the issue at the heart of the problem is skirted, how serious can the conference be?
Unfortunately, too many in Europe still see efforts to address the impact of anti-Israel activity as a vehicle to stifle legitimate criticism of Israeli policy. This becomes an excuse to avoid looking inward to understand how Europe has come to this pass and how it can get to the other side. It also inhibits one of the most important responsibilities Europe has: to denounce on a consistent basis the Goebbels-like hatred toward Jews and Israel coming out of the Arab world.
Let's be clear: no one who is serious about these issues is seeking to stifle legitimate criticism of Israel. Identifying the sources of this new anti-Semitism and finding ways to combat it, not politics, are the goals of these endeavors.
In this regard, it was helpful that the E.U. report identified as anti-Semitism the use of classical anti-Jewish stereotypes (Jews as all-powerful, as deceitful) in describing Israel. What the report failed to do and, indeed, much of Europe fails to do, is to look at the connection between the one-sided criticism, the demonization, the delegitimization of Israel and anti-Semitism. These images, often themselves manifestations of anti-Semitism, create the climate in which anti-Semitic incidents are more likely to occur and in which there is hesitancy to act against the perpetrators.
It has been appropriately said that comparisons between today's situation in Europe and the 1930's are absurd and counterproductive. There is no anti-Semitic party committed to the destruction of the Jewish people in control of a powerful state in the heart of the continent. And unlike the 30's, there are mechanisms in place that have within them the potential to deal with the very real manifestations of anti-Semitism in today's Europe.
But what is also reality is that Jews in Europe are feeling intimidated and threatened once again, not by Nazi racist thugs and their allies, but by attacks on persons and institutions, by harassment of their youngsters in schools, by a sense of isolation as the media and universities bombard the public with images of Israel as the great source of evil in the world.
These circumstances should be unacceptable anywhere, but particularly on the continent where millions of Jews were murdered. Disagreement with policies of the government of Israel must not be the excuse to allow anti-Semitism to flourish once again in Europe.

Cramer: Get derivatives out in open
Jim Cramer | [email protected]
Now, it is very easy to suggest that the whole enterprise must be corrupt. It is true that JP Morgan totally screwed up here. Mistakes, misjudgments, and terrible decisions were made throughout the organization. I do think, however, that this is important to point out: When JP Morgan found out about the second set of books, it did go to the authorities and said, "Please investigate this issue." A corrupt organization does not do that. The actions of JP Morgan itself and its top executives wasn't criminal. It was just stupid, and you can't prosecute people for stupidity.
Nor can you game fraud. There will always be people who will try to get over on the system to hide losses, to make more money, to steal and to conspire, especially when the money's as big as this situation, where billions and billions are lost. These alleged crooks stole billions in market capitalization from the institution, which was ill-equipped to discover the second set of books and was way too trusting.
Still, this kind of behavior will happen again and again and again. It's human nature, and no prosecution is going to stop human nature. All prosecutions can do, besides punish individuals after the crimes are committed, is to make it so that other potential crooks fear being caught and brought down, too. Anything that puts people behind bars is a for-real preventative. Nobody wants to go to jail, and if you increase the odds that they will, which is what this prosecution does, fewer frauds will be committed. That's a win.
But this case also brings out a systemic problem--one that it won't solve. The amazing thing about this case is that it shows lots of smart people couldn't even detect that something was wrong, even though billions of dollars were at stake. That's because the market in which these alleged crooks played was and still is totally opaque.
As someone who has traded the kinds of instruments that are involved in this case, I can tell you that there's way too much guesswork about what they are really worth. You could get away with having two sets of books, because nobody really knows what the right and wrong set are. The markets aren't on display anywhere. There are no checks to the markets. It is impossible on a daily basis to even figure out what they are worth. That's why it was so easy to commit this kind of fraud.
That's why I want all derivatives traded publicly, on an exchange, for all to see--or they shouldn't be traded at all.
The banks all fight my position. They love the opaque nature of these derivatives, because they can charge more for the product and create a market that's very advantageous for the firm, not just for the client -- or sometimes, even, to the exclusion of the client. In other words, you can rip people off in the dark; you can't rip them off in the sunlight.
You want to prevent this kind of individual fraud? Yes, you prosecute. But if you want to correct the systemic problem, you have to shine a light on all of this stuff, posting the bids and offers for all to see.
Without that sunlight as a disinfectant, to paraphrase late Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, you can't police this nonsense. The industry should use this sobering lesson to shine some light on derivatives, if not put up huge lanterns on them. Otherwise even the top dogs, as smart as they are, won't even be able to spot criminal enterprises within their own four walls.
You want change? Force firms to post derivatives. You want more crimes? Keep the derivatives in the dark--and I promise you that, even if the prosecutors get their men, there will be dozens more right behind them, ready to commit the same fraud. Without a spotlight on the market, it's just too easy and too tempting not to do so.
Disclosure: At the time of publication, Cramer's charitable trust was long JPM.

WebMD Answers
Hi, Often while you are pregnant your girls anatomy becomes more fleshy and full due to pressure and increased fluid volumes in the body. As the weeks pass and your body gets rid of excess swelling and the healing is almost done, things can feel a bit deflated and odd but your normal elasticity will eventually return but maybe not exactly to how it was before. Some women actually find sex more comfortable after having a baby.
So yes you can get a bit looser through your pregnancy.
Do hope this helps you and hubby.
Good Luck

Exchange Rate Regimes in an Increasingly Integrated World Economyby Paul Masson Michael Mussa Alexander Swoboda Esteban Jadresic Paolo Mauro Andrew Berg
This paper builds upon previous International Monetary Fund (IMF) studies on various aspects of the exchange rate arrangements of IMF member countries consistent with the IMF's role of surveillance of members' exchange rate policies and over the international monetary system. The paper examines the consequences of increased capital mobility and of the integration of developing economies in globalised goods and financial markets for the exchange rate regimes both of the world's major currencies and of developing and transition countries.

The station is first of all, within the city, an enclave; and the wagon, in our lives, a fantasy of annihilation of the Other.
On the occasion of the TGV line Mulhouse-Gare Centrale arriving this winter, we invite our future conference speakers to study the station and the wagon (in literature, history, the visual arts and why not even by taking to the tracks of philosophy) as cultural and artistic vectors of the programmed obsolescence of technological innovation. For historians, this may be an occasion to consider stations and railways' predominant role in the evolution of urban development.
Finally, to join act and speech, this conference will be nomadic, thus privilege the selection of propositions which may be interpreted as "university performances". Apart from a few talks which will take place within the elegant walls of the Société Industrielle de Mulhouse (a few feet from the Mulhouse Gare) most of the workshops will take place on a moving train. We will be forced to take to the stations, platforms and stops, without any particular itinerary, just an uncertain destination in search of ourselves on a perpetual round-trip voyage.

The story is here. You need to be a Rivals subscriber to get the whole story.
Hubbard chose Iowa over Nebraska in April, then opted out of his scholarship with Iowa's blessing this week.
It's stating the obvious, but Hubbard didn't leave Iowa because of its distance from his Maryland home. Despite what a Thursday press release from the University of Iowa suggested.

Prevention and protection are the only way to be successful in controlling certain pests. Boring insects, sod webworms, "the nasty rascal, the chinch bug," roaches and termites are just a few more.
Borers are generally moths or beetles as adults. They fly around and lay eggs on leaf petioles (where the little stem that comes off a leaf attaches to the main stem), cracks in the bark, or wounds in the plant. Generally, when the egg hatches, a larva emerges and tunnels inside the twig, tree, or vine. The larva is the part of the life cycle that does the damage. Since larva get inside the tree, it makes it very difficult to control with spray or dust applications. The borer overwinters as a larva and emerges generally in the spring as an adult.
Treating the tree (not a fruit, nut or vegetable producing tree) with a systemic product like Dominion or Safari as a ground drench as well as spraying the tree to protect the tree from adults that are laying eggs and an oil product to suffocate eggs is a good strategy for high value trees. Depending on the borer, you would target your spraying when the adults are active (usually in the spring).
Prevention is critical with borers because once they are inside the tree or plant, the plant protects them.
Pest management professionals do a great job of protecting our homes from termites. You would not want to watch your house get eaten up then think, "hey, I might have a problem with my house. The second story toilet just fell through the floor with my mother-in-law on it."
Termites do a lot of damage very quickly. The cost of protecting your house to prevent the damage is very low. If you have a reputable pest management professional do the work, their insurance should cover any damage unless you violated the contract (example – added on a porch and did not let them know).
Termites are one insect that should be left to a professional to control. Termites attack what is generally our highest price asset – our home.
While working in my yard last night, I did see a few sod webworm moths. They're back.
