Pope Benedict, the Pianist
May 22, 2014 by 2 Comments
One of the pleasures in which Pope Emeritus Benedict is said to indulge in his retirement is playing the piano.A skilled pianist, he was unable to spend much time at the keyboard during the years of his papacy. Now, perhaps, he returns to that great love.A Redditor pointed out this video this morning.

is 65 in the near future?
I'm long term long on SBUX, but hedged. When the stock was at 53 I bought the Jan '15 50 calls and have been selling the monthly otm calls against them. With new markets opening up and coffee REALLY cheap right now(look at SBUX inventory relative to prior years) I see a slow but steady rise in this issue. Food will add to the the top line, but bring down margins.
I have recently had my head handed to me on short term trades(shorts) on FSLR and AAPL, so don't make me out to be a Svengali. If I/we treat this like a marathon and not a sprint, I think we'll be ok.
I agree with 65

Free Garden Crafts eBook delivers decorative garden tips
May 19, 2009 – Northbrook, Ill.—In March 2009, Michelle Obama planted an organic vegetable garden to help educate children about the importance of healthy, local food. As summer approaches, you should also consider developing a garden to help the environment and to save money in these tough economic times.
Vegetable Gardens can help reduce waste, and if you get your kids involved, they might even want to eat the foods they grow. Besides the health benefits of organic fruits and vegetables, gardening can also improve the value of your home. Scotts Miracle-Grow reports that a beautiful lawn and garden can increase property value by up to 15%.
So once you plant your garden, why not liven it up with some colorful plant stakes or fun clay pots? The National Gardening Association reports 3/4 of American households participated in one or more types of indoor and outdoor garden and lawn activities annually for the last five years. That's about 80 million households! Just think of how much money Americans could save by crafting their own garden decorations.
This is why the editors of FaveCrafts have compiled a free Garden Crafts eBook that includes over 25 project ideas for how to decorate your garden. These are crafting projects that can make your garden even greener.
FaveCrafts.com is offering everyone the opportunity to download this eBook absolutely free. The chapters in the book include everything from decorative watering cans to innovative garden décor easy enough to make with your kids. The free eBook can be downloaded from http://www.favecrafts.com/Green-Crafting/Garden-Crafts-eBook

I'm about a week and a half post partum and dealing with hypertension that came on immediately after delivery after a pretty good pregnancy. I'm on 30mg Procardia XL. In the hospital my bps were 150-160/100-110, since being home they've been 130-140/185-90. Although DH is home helping, I have a newborn and toddler right before Xmas, so laying around on my left side isn't exactly feasible. Is it ok to do activity for a short period of time, like shopping trips to one store and things like that? When regular joes have hypertension they're encouraged to exercise, is that the same for people with post partum hypertension?
Can I do activities?

Did your doctor give you any specific restrictions? After DS was born, I was just told not to lift anything heavier than him or to drive myself until 6 weeks. They gave me a little flyer about starting to exercise by taking walks, too, 5 minutes at a time. So, unless you were told something different, it's probably okay. Just listen to your body and take it easy! Having a baby is hard work.

I had pre e that was diagnosed about a month and a half before delivery. (October). During that time especially at the end I went shopping. I used the electric go carts many stores provide. I felt like I was going nuts and that a shopping trip every week really helped.

I would see if your doctor can give you something to control your blood pressure. Once your blood pressure is under control then you should be able to do the things you need to do. You can have complications after you give birth. I would be careful and follow your doctors recommendations and make sure that they are aware of your blood pressure.

James DeVita draws attention for 'Shakespeare' from the New York Times
From here to there, James DeVita is getting noticed for his show "In Acting Shakespeare."
DeVita, a popular performer with American Players Theatre, didn't see a Shakespeare play until he was 24. Now he's known for performing works from The Bard - enough so that he created the solo show with the playwright's name (inspired by Ian McKellen's one-man salute to Shakespeare) and took it to, well, close to Broadway. Close enough to capture the attention of the New York Times, which reviewed the show today. »Read Full Article

MAM founding works
Before the Calatrava, before the Kahler, before the War Memorial Center, there was the Layton Art Gallery. And without Frederick Layton and the gallery, we wouldn't have the others. The Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Drive, which is rooted by the Layton collection, is paying tribute to the man and his gallery with a 125th anniversary exhibition. In the Gallery 10 and the Decorative Arts Gallery, MAM will display the works upon which the museum was founded. And the Baumgartner Galleria will display items that illustrate the history of MAM. Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Lubar Auditorium, guest lecturer Giles Waterfield will discuss "The Role of Private Patrons" in Layton's development of his collection. The lecture is free with general admission. »Read Full Article

I bought these as a reward with my Oh! Points. Thanks Lovehoney.
I was really happy to see that when they arrived that they could actually get over my thighs. As I am quite curvy, I often have trouble with stockings.
These are a replacement for a pair I ripped the previous week, but these can stretch to fit my legs perfectly. :)
They look gorgeous when on, and have high sex appeal!
Both me and my OH love them.
- Pros
- Fit well, look fantastic.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Great pair of sexy stockings for all sizes. :)

Pure White
Reviewed: 28 August 2013 by taraman, a Straight Married Male
I bought these stockings for a bit of fun with my OH.
When the stockings arrived I was very pleased to see they have some stretch in them, which makes them perfect for people with long legs. My OH has long 36" legs and many stockings only reach half way up her thigh. The Music Legs go all the way up!
The stockings are opaque as branded and the photo of the LH model is very representative. The thickness of the material makes the stockings almost like a very thin sock so if you want transparency, these will not work for you.
The overall quality of the stocking is excellent and great value for money. The thickness of the material should make them harder to ladder so I hope to have lots of use out of them with my OH.
I would like to note the stockings worn in the LH member photo are NOT the Music Legs Opaque Pure White Stockings as they are more transparent and have a completely different lace pattern.

- Quality, value for money, good for long legs.
- Cons
- Nothing.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/074,982, filed May 8, 1998 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,308,283, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/489,198, filed Jun. 9, 1995, now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 5,799,141. The foregoing patents and patent applications are incorporated herein by reference.
1. The Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a system and method for providing real-time protection of data on computer systems connected to a network.
2. Background and Related Art
There are several known methods for protecting computer data. One such method is to perform periodic batch back-ups of either an entire hard disk drive or selected files on a hard disk drive. Typically files may be selected based upon a file directory tree or other criteria, such as hard-coded filenames or filenames with wildcard characters. The data is typically written to a large capacity storage device, such as a tape-drive, connected directly to the computer system. Some batch back-up systems, however, such as the system described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,133,065, permit data on computers connected to a computer network to be backed-up onto a centralized back-up device on the network. Where batch back-ups are used, it is usually recommended that disk-wide back-ups of data be performed infrequently, such as monthly, and that back-ups of new or modified files be performed frequently, such as daily.
A disadvantage of batch back-up systems is that the stored data is often out of date. Even nightly back-ups do not protect data accumulated since the last back-up. In certain businesses, such as banking and financial industries, the loss of even an hour of transactions can have serious repercussions. Another disadvantage of batch back-up systems is that typically the entire selected file is backed-up even if only a portion of the file has been modified. If the batch back-up system is operating over a network, valuable network resources are wasted transferring unchanged data.
Another known method for protecting data is to duplicate (or mirror) all data write operations occurring on a primary device onto one or more secondary (back-up) devices. In systems utilizing this method, the data storage control unit for the primary device (such as a disk controller) is directly connected to either the secondary device itself or the control unit for the secondary device.
This type of data protection has been implemented using Redundant Array Inexpensive Direct access storage device (RAID) drives. A RAID drive is in essence a package of multiple, inexpensive disk drives. Mirroring has been accomplished by configuring the RAID drive controller to write the same data to two separate disks in the RAID drive.
Mirroring techniques are also used on fault tolerant computer systems. Fault tolerant computer systems have been available for mini-computers and mainframes for years, offering survival of any single point of failure in the system. These systems, however, often require expensive, redundant hardware, additional hardware for connectivity and frequently require specialized (often proprietary) operating systems.
One disadvantage of all known real-time mirroring systems is that none provides a granularity of mirroring smaller than a disk, partition or volume set. Also, none of the known real-time mirroring systems provides for mirroring across a local or wide area network.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for creating back-up copies of data files substantially concurrently with changes to those data files without using specialized hardware or operating systems.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide for back-ups at the level of individual files.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a back-up system that can be used with existing application programs that contain no data protection code without modification to the application programs.
The above and other objects are realized by the system and method of the present invention. Briefly, the present invention provides a data protection system that is not tied to specialized hardware or operating systems and that permits the user to specify a level of granularity of data protection down to individual files. In one preferred embodiment, a user initializes a configuration database that specifies the data files on a local system the user wishes to back-up (i.e., mirror) and the network location of a remote computer system to contain the back-up files. The system of the present invention provides a mirroring driver that is attached to the file system driver of the local computer system and intercepts operations on files (such as write operations, and delete, rename and change of attribute operations). By attaching the mirroring driver to the file system driver, the system of the present invention can mirror files accessed by existing application programs, having no data protection code, without modification to the application programs. The mirroring driver has a table with information read from the configuration database and determines if the operation is on a protected file. If it is, the mirroring driver stores information regarding the operation in a log file. A send process, which runs asynchronously from the mirroring driver, reads the log file and forwards the information regarding the operation from the local computer system across the network to the remote computer system containing the back-up file. The information is forwarded to the remote computer system using the standard methods provided by the networking software. A receive process on the remote computer system stores the information in its own log file and sends an acknowledgement to the source local computer system. A router process on the remote computer system then reads the remote computer system's log file and applies the operations to the back-up files.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the local system is itself a local area network having a plurality of workstations connected to a network server.
All communications between the local and remote computer systems use standard network protocols and wiring. Preferably, a Microsoft� Windows NT™ based network is used that supports Microsoft's Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface.
As shown in
It is also possible to implement the present invention with multiple remote computer systems. In this case, the data protection software will direct write requests to a specific remote computer system or systems. It is thus possible to create multiple back-up copies of a single data file.
The software components of the preferred embodiment of the present invention can be divided into three basic functions: setup and initialization, write intercept and store, and write forward and confirm.
mirrors file c:\a\x.doc only
mirrors all files ending with '*.doc' in directory
c:\a (other wildcard characters can also be used)
mirrors all files in the c:\a subtree
mirrors all files ending with '*.doc' in the c:\a
(Unless otherwise stated, references to filenames herein include the pathname.)
Destination site field 62 designates the network system name of the remote computer system that will contain the back-up file or files. The destination site can also be set to designate a DASD connected to the local computer system. Mirroring to multiple destination sites is accomplished by including a separate configuration entry for each destination site. Destination file field 63 designates the name of the back-up file or directory. If destination file field 63 designates a directory, which must be the case if multiple source files are specified, then the destination files are the files within the directory (or its subtree) with the same filenames as the source files. Attribute field 64 indicates whether attributes of the file (e.g., read-only or permissions) should be mirrored. Delete suffix field 65 designates a suffix that the back-up file or files should be renamed with, instead of deleted, when the mirrored file is deleted.
Referring back to
Send process 50 performs two separate but related functions: sending configuration information to remote computer systems and sending mirrored file update information to remote computer systems. The latter function is discussed separately below.
When server process 32 notifies the send process of a change in the configuration, send process 50 increments the configuration version number 39. Configuration version number 39 identifies the latest version of the configuration database 33. Send process 50 sends configuration version number 39 and the entry to receive process 51 on the remote computer system. Receive process 51 adds the configuration version number to its remote configuration version number table 40. Each entry in remote configuration version number table 40 identifies the local machine and the latest version of the configuration database received from that machine. This information is used to ensure that the configuration information on the remote machine is in sync with the configuration information on the local machine.
Receive process 51 also writes the new entry to router configuration database 37. As shown in
Router configuration database 37 contains all entries that designate the remote computer system as a destination site in all local computer system configuration databases. Router process 38, described in more detail below, reads the router configuration database, at startup and when instructed to by receive process 51, and updates the router configuration table, also described below.
If the user, through client configuration process 31, indicates that an entry in configuration database 33 is to be deleted, server process 32 performs the deletion and also transmits the change to mirroring driver 43. Mirroring driver 43, in turn, flags the corresponding entry in its table as deleted.
Each time the local computer system is restarted, mirroring driver 43, through server process 32, and send process 50 read configuration database 33 and create a driver configuration table 49 and a send process configuration table 59, respectively. Driver configuration table 49 contains for each source file listed in configuration database 33 the source file field and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) based on the contents of the source file field. The CRC is used to optimize look-ups in driver configuration table 49. The calculation of a CRC is well known in the art.
Send process configuration table 59 contains for each source file listed in configuration database 33 the contents of the source file field 61, destination file field 63, attribute field 64, and delete suffix field 65, and a list of the destination sites 62 designated in each configuration database entry having the same source file. The send process also generates a CRC based on the contents of the source file field.
The write intercept and store function is illustrated in
After the system has been started, file operations executed by application program 41 are passed to the input-output (I/O) manager 42 of the local computer system. I/O manager 42 passes the file operation to mirroring driver 43, which in turn passes the file operation to file system driver 44.
I/O manager 42 and file system driver 44 are standard operating system functions and are well known in the art. Mirroring driver 43 is attached to file system driver 44 using, for example, the IoAttachDevice call of Windows NT. In this way, the mirroring function can be implemented without requiring recompilation of application or operating system programs.
When a file open or create operation is passed to mirroring driver 43, mirroring driver 43 searches driver configuration table 49 to determine if the file is to be mirrored. Mirroring driver 43 first creates a CRC for the filename of the file being opened. If the configuration database entry is for a fixed filename, then the CRC is compared to the entry's CRC. If a match is found, then the name of the file being opened is compared to the source filename in the entry as a check in case two filenames have the same CRC. Once a fixed filename has been found, no other fixed filenames are searched for.
If the configuration database entry is for a wildcarded filename, a subtree, or a subtree including a wildcarded filename, the length of the filename of the file being opened is compared to the length of the fixed (or non-wildcarded) portion of the entry's source filename. If the length of the filename of the file being opened is less than the length of the fixed portion of the entry's filename, checking for this entry stops, since the entry could not possibly match the file to be opened. Otherwise, the fixed portion of the entry's source filename is compared to the initial portion of the filename. If a match occurs, the remaining portion of the filename is compared to the wildcarded portion, if any, of the entry's source filename.
If the filename of the file being opened matches any entries in driver configuration table 49, mirroring driver 43 stores the following information in an entry in a temporary list: the file object pointer (which uniquely identifies the file); a sublist having, for each matched driver configuration table entry, a pointer to the driver configuration table entry and the part of the filename that matches the non-fixed portion, if any, of the driver configuration table entry; and the operation performed on the file (in this case, Open). Mirroring driver 43 then passes the open operation to file system driver 44. If the open operation completes successfully, the temporary list is added to Open File List 46; otherwise, the temporary list is deleted. Open File List 46 contains only one entry for each opened file and the entry points to all of the corresponding entries in driver configuration table 49.
When a write or truncate operation is passed to the mirroring driver 43, mirroring driver 43 checks the file object pointer to see if it is in Open File List 46. If it is, the mirroring driver 43 sets a flag indicating that mirroring is necessary upon successful completion of the I/O operation. Mirroring driver 43 then passes the I/O operation to file system driver 44. File system driver 44 attempts to perform the I/O operation and, if successful, returns a success code to mirroring driver 43.
If mirroring driver 43 receives a success code from file system driver 44 and the mirroring flag is set, mirroring driver 43 creates one or more entries in Store and Forward Log 47. As illustrated in
A Store and Forward Log entry is created for each configuration database entry corresponding to a file object in Open File List 46. Source filename field 71 contains the source filename specified in the driver configuration table entry followed by the part of the filename that matches the non-fixed portion (if any). CRC field 72 is set to be the same as the corresponding field in the driver configuration table entry. Command field 73 designates the action to be performed on the file (e.g., write data). File offset field 74 is set to the offset in the mirrored file at which data was written, and data size field 75 is set to the size of the data written. Lastly, data field 76 contains a copy of the data that was written to the file. Preferably, a new Store and Forward Log is created when the current Store and Forward Log reaches a predetermined maximum file size.
After creating an entry in Store and Forward Log 47, mirroring driver 43 returns a success code to I/O Manager 42 which in turn passes it to Application Process 41.
File operations, such as delete, rename and change of attribute, are also processed by mirroring driver 43. For delete and change of attribute operations, the file is searched for in driver configuration table 49, as above. If a matching entry is found in driver configuration table 49 and the operation is successful on the local computer system, mirroring driver 43 creates an entry in Open File list 46, again as above. In this case, command field 74 is filled with delete or change of attribute information. For rename operations, mirroring driver 43 searches driver configuration table 49 for both the source and target name (where the rename operation renames the file from source name to target name). If the rename operation is successful on the local computer system and a matching entry is found in driver configuration table 49 for the source name, mirroring driver 43 creates an entry in Open File list 46 with command field 74 set to delete. Also, if the rename operation is successful and a matching entry is found in driver configuration table 49 for the target file name, mirroring driver 43 creates an entry in open File list 46 with command field 74 set to copy. A command field set to copy indicates the file is to be copied to the remote computer system or systems.
When a file is closed, the mirroring driver 43 checks Open File List 46 for the file object being closed. If the file is found, mirroring driver 43 further checks whether the file has any pending delete, copy or attribute operations and, if so, writes the delete/copy/attribute information to Store and Forward Logs 47 with command field 74 set to the command in the Open File List entry and the offset, size and data fields set to empty. Lastly, mirroring driver 43 removes the file's entry from the Open File List 46.
The actual mirroring of data at the remote destination site (i.e., the write forward and confirm function) is illustrated in
Send process 50 executes in the background (i.e., asynchronously from other software on the local computer system) and periodically reads Store and Forward Logs 47. Preferably, send process 50 reads Store and Forward Logs 47 every tenth of a second or immediately if the previous read found new data to be forwarded.
At startup, send process 50 reads configuration database 33 and builds send process configuration table 59 in memory.
Send process configuration table 59 basically contains essentially the same information as configuration database 33. Each entry contains the source file, destination site, destination file, attribute and delete suffix information of a corresponding entry in the configuration database 33. In addition, a CRC based on the source file is associated with each entry.
Send process 50 locates new I/O requests in the Store and Forward Logs 47 in two ways. At start-up and when a remote computer system becomes unblocked (described in more detail below), the send process 50 reads the Store and Forward Acknowledge (SFA) Log 54. SFA Log 54 contains an entry for each remote computer system that is to receive mirrored data. As shown in
Alternatively, during normal operation, send process 50 maintains a pointer for each Store and Forward Log 47 to the last entry sent. Since send process 50 processes the entries in each Store and Forward Log 47 in first-in, first-out order, any entry in a Store and Forward Log after the last entry sent is new.
Once send process 50 locates a Store and Forward Log entry to send, send process 50 extracts the source filename and CRC information from the entry. Send process 50 then scans the entire send process configuration table 59 and locates the entry with the matching CRC, preferably using a binary tree search algorithm. If the command code in the Store and Forward Log entry is other than a copy command (which is discussed below), send process 50 then sends the source file, CRC, command code, offset, size and data fields of the Store and Forward Log entry, along with the current configuration version number 39, to the destination site specified in the send process configuration table entry. As described above, configuration version number 39 designates the current version of the configuration database and is incremented each time the configuration database is updated. Configuration version number 39 is also incremented each time send process 50 is restarted.
On the remote computer system, receive process 51 receives the information sent by send process 50 and stores it in a pair of router log files (RT1, RT2) 56. The receive process 51 first checks whether the configuration version number sent by send process 50 matches the configuration version number stored in remote configuration version number table 40. If the version numbers do not match, the remote computer system's router configuration database 37 is not up-to-date. In this case, receive process 51 will return an error code instructs send process 50 to send the current configuration information. Configuration version number table is stored in memory and is cleared each time the remote computer system is restarted.
If the configuration version numbers match, an RT1 and RT2 entry are created As shown in
If receive process 51 successfully writes the information to RT1 and RT2, receive process 51 sends an acknowledgement to the source machine. After receiving the acknowledgement, send process 50 marks the entry in Store and Forward Log 47 as complete and updates SFA Log 54. When all entries in a Store and Forward Log are marked complete, the log can be closed. If the writes to RT1 and RT2 are unsuccessful, receive process 51 returns an error code. Preferably, a maximum size can be set for RT1 and RT2 files. If either router log file (RT1 or RT2) is at its maximum, receive process 51 will open a new pair of log files (e.g., RT1.00n and RT2.00n).
Router process 53 is responsible for applying the file update information to back-up files 55. At startup, router process 53 reads Router Configuration database 37 into the router configuration table 58.
Each RT1 file has a flag indicating whether it contains non-completed entries and the oldest RT1 file is processed first. Router process 53 reads an entry from the RT1 file and checks if the entry is marked as complete. If the entry is not complete, router process 53 checks blocked file log 57 (discussed below) to see if the entry is for a file which is blocked. If the file is blocked, router process 53 skips the entry and reads the next entry.
If the file is not blocked, router process 53 searches Router Configuration database 37, using the CRC and source filename information, to determine which back-up file the file operation should be applied to. Router process 53 then checks if the back-up file is open and, if not, opens it. Router process 53 also creates the file, as well as any necessary directories, if the file does not exist. If ten files are already open, the least recently used open file is closed before opening the current back-up file. Router process 53 then applies the file operation to the back-up file and marks the entry in the RT1 file as 'complete'. If all entries in the RT1 file are complete, then router process 53 sets the file flag to 'file complete' and opens the next pair of router log files.
If an entry in the Store and Forward Log 47 has command field 73 set to copy, send process 50 copies the file indicated in source filename 71 to the destination site(s) indicated in the matching entry for source filename 71 in send process configuration table 59. The copying is accomplished by simulating data writes that recreate the mirrored file and having the mirroring system of the present invention, described above, automatically create and/or rewrite the back-up file. If source filename 71 specifies a directory subtree, then all files in the directory subtree are copied to the destination site(s).
A user can also initiate copying of files from the source machine to remote machines through a synchronize command. This is typically done after adding existing files to configuration database 33 or when mirrored files and back-up files need to be re-synchronized. As shown in
Referring again to
The unblock command checks whether a blocked site has become unblocked (i.e., whether communications can be re-established with the remote computer system). If communications can be re-established, the unblock command informs send process 50, which in turn closes the current Store and Forward Log 47, opens the oldest Store and Forward Log 47 having entries for the site is unblocked and marks the entry for the site in blocked site list 91 as unblocked. Send process 50 then continues with normal processing. The unblock command is preferably automatically executed periodically (e.g., every five minutes) and also manually executable by the user at any time.
Blocking also occurs on remote computer systems when router process 53 detects that it cannot write to a back-up file. Router process 53 adds the router configuration table entry and the name of the router log file containing the blocked operation to remote blocked file log 57. Again an unblock command is automatically executed periodically or can be manually executed by a user.
When a file is unblocked, router process 53 marks the router configuration entry for the file in blocked file log 57 as unblocked. Router process 53 then closes the current RT1 and RT2 log files and opens the pair that were open when the file was blocked.
In addition to the above-described software and data files, one of skill in the art will appreciate that it is generally useful to maintain error log files on the local and remote computer systems for storing errors occurring during the operation of the system.
When server process 32 is executed on the local computer system, server process 32 starts mirroring driver 43, if not already started, and identifies for mirroring driver 43 the current Store and Forward Log 47. Server process 32 also starts send process 50 if mirroring is on. In addition, server process 32 sets up an interface (e.g., an RPC interface) for communicating with client configuration process 31.
On each remote machine, remote server process 35 likewise starts and manages receive process 51 and router process 53.
A single computer system can act as both a local computer system and a remote computer system simultaneously, in which case all the processes and functions described above will be present on the single computer system.
In this disclosure, there is shown and described only the preferred embodiments of the invention. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the particulars disclosed and extends to all equivalents included within the scope of the claims.

Urethan (ethyl carbamate) has been used as an anesthetic agent in experimental animals for many years. It has the advantage of producing satisfactory anesthesia without respiratory depression. This property has been put to use in obstetrics.1 Observations of its effect on the hemopoietic system and mitotic cells has led to its use in the treatment of leukemia2 and other malignant diseases.3 The cytotoxic action of urethan can be responsible for renal and hepatic damage in addition to bone-marrow depression and sedation. Nausea, vomiting, and anorexia are undesirable side-effects. Reports by Weinstein4 and Howe5 on bacteriostatic action indicate its value in the treatment of wounds and burns. Howe,6 reporting on the toxic effects of topically applied urethan in 67 patients, found no hematological changes or evidence of liver damage. The amounts used ranged from 30 to 600 cc. of 10% solution daily for 2 to

Nature Watch
Many species of waterfowl spend the summer around Presque Isle State Park. Some of these that are typically gone by late May include green-winged and blue-winged teal, greater and lesser scaup, bufflehead and ruddy duck. Bog copper butterflies begin their short two-week flight now, but to see them you must venture into Titus Bog, where their host plant, cranberry, grows. This is the only site in western Pennsylvania for this bog species. Look for partridge berries now. They have an interesting life history: it takes two blossoms to make one berry, which are quite edible, by the way.

Illumina and Agilent to market technologies for resequencing research
Illumina and Agilent Technologies have agreed to jointly market complementary technologies for scientists performing targeted resequencing research.Agilent's SureSelect Target Enrichment System allows researchers to "wash away" unwanted parts of genomes to target specific areas of genomic interest, and the companies say that when it is combined with Illumina's high-output Genome Analyzer, enables scalable resequencing on areas of interest."The Agilent SureSelect Target Enrichment System requires only standard equipment already in the next-generation sequencing workflow," says Nick Roelofs, Ph.D., Agilent vp and general manager, life science solutions unit. "The SureSelect platform draws upon Agilent's distinctive ability to accurately and reliably custom-manufacture oligos greater than 100 base pairs, resulting in highly specific capture of genome variance.""When combined with Illumina's Genome Analyzer, researchers can design their own experiments and take advantage of Illumina's long reads to achieve timely, reproducible results while reducing cost and increasing robustness," adds Dr. Roelofs.The new research protocol, developed in part at MIT, allows scientists to research multiple areas in a search for rare mutations, such as those causing cancer, as well as research of the entire genome."Targeting based on hybrid selection may be potentially useful for a variety of applications where traditional single-plex PCR is either too costly or too specific," says Chad Nusbaum, genome sequencing and analysis codirector at MIT's Broad Institute.

TV Ratings: 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' rises, David Blaine works ABC magic and 'NCIS' leads CBS Tuesday
'Dads' and 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' have small gains
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." has [possibly temporarily] stopped its slide!
While the tiny "Thor"-inspired bump for "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." probably wasn't even ABC's biggest news of the night -- relatively solid numbers for "David Blaine: Real or Magic" will probably lead to more primetime prestidigitation -- it's still a [possibly temporary] stop to negative trending that dated back to the week after the pilot.
Of course, ABC still couldn't come close to winning Tuesday night.
With its "NCIS" double-bill and "Person of Interest," which moved ahead of "Chicago Fire" for the first time this season among young viewers, CBS easily won Tuesday overall and also scored a slim key demo prize.
Meanwhile, it was low-business-as-usual for CBS' comedies, yet another uninspired performance for a CW IHeart Radio special and a small corresponding drop for "Supernatural." And at some point, NBC will have to figure out a format for "The Voice" that doesn't inevitable swoon at midseason, as the reality hit took yet another dip.
On to the numbers...
Among adults 18-49, CBS averaged a 2.5 rating for Tuesday night, edging out ABC and NBC's 2.3 rating in the key demographic. FOX was far back with a 1.4 key demo rating, while The CW did a 0.6 key demo rating.
Overall, CBS averaged an estimated 15.45 million viewers and a 9.7 rating/15 share for Tuesday primetime, far ahead of the 8.33 million viewers and 5.3/8 for NBC. ABC averaged an estimated 6.94 million viewers and a 4.3/7, followed by FOX's 3.06 million viewers and a 2.0/3. The CW averaged a 0.9/1 and 1.43 million viewers.
8 p.m. - "NCIS" dominated the 8 p.m. hour in all measures for CBS, averaging an estimated 19.39 million viewers and a 3.0 rating among adults 18-49. ABC's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." averaged 6.85 million viewers and a 2.3 key demo rating, a small bump, but a bump nonetheless. NBC was third with 6.33 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo rating for "The Biggest Loser, far ahead of FOX's "Dads" (3.2 million viewers and a 1.3 key demo rating) and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" (3.355 million and a 1.5 key demo rating), both up a hair. The CW's Lady Gaga-fueled album release thingie averaged 889,000 viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - "NCIS: Los Angeles" kept CBS in first overall for the 9 p.m. hour with 14.9 million viewers, while the network dropped to second a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49. NBC's "The Voice" was second overall with 11.22 million viewers and won the hour with a 3.1 key demo rating. ABC was third with "The Goldbergs" (5.14 million and a 1.6 key demo) and "David Blaine: Real or Magic" (7.16 million and a 2.3 key demo rating). FOX was fourth with "New Girl" (3.275 million and a 1.7 key demo) and "The Mindy Project" (2.41 million and a 1.2 key demo). [Last time "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" beat "New Girl" over in Fast Nationals, "New Girl" moved back into the lead in Finals, so I'm making no proclamations.] The CW's "Supernatural" averaged 1.96 million viewers and a 0.9 key demo rating despite its weakened lead-in.
10 p.m. - "Person of Interest" won the 10 p.m. hour overall for CBS, averaging 12.065 million viewers and finished second with a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49. ABC's "David Blaine: Real or Magic" rose to 7.83 million viewers and a 2.6 key demo rating. NBC's "Chicago Fire" averaged 7.44 million viewers and a 1.9 key demo rating in third.
UPDATE: The good news continued in Final Live+Same Day ratings for "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Tuesday's episode went up to a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49 and 6.89 million viewers overall. Both "The Voice" and "Biggest Loser" rose 0.1 in the key demo in Finals. Both "NCIS" and "Supernatural" added a few viewers, but stayed flat in the key demo.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.
