Today 3/29 is my daughters 4th birthday. Last week, we were playing her favorite game. I was the mommy cheetah (complete with plastic figure) and she was the baby cheetah (complete with plastic figure). She said the baby was three and a half and was nursing. I said "yes, she'll be weaned when she is four" Well, a few days ago, she said "Im not weaned, I will be when I'm four" I almost fell over.
She did nurse on 3/27 , but I think she might not nurse anymore. I guess time will tell. For what it's worth, she has be vehement about not being weaned EVER. Whenever she said that, I just laughed to myself, and told her someday she wouldn't be interested in having 'mimi's ' anymore.

There are 235 verses in Matthew that are paralleled in Luke but not in Mark or John.
This number represents more than a fifth of Matthew and Luke, and so some scholars have proposed that there was a written source—called Q—that both Evangelists drew upon, though it is now lost.
There are, of course, other possibilities. One is that Matthew simply used Luke; another is that Luke used Matthew.
It is possible that they both used a lost written source for this material, but...

Now that Punxsutawney Phil has predicted an early spring, learn a little more about where this Groundhog Day tradition comes from.
The first recorded Groundhog Day in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, was on Feb. 2, 1886. Punxsutawney is located in west-central Pennsylvania, about 80 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Each year, tens of thousands of tourists jam into the small Pennsylvania town to celebrate Phil's arrival.
Much is made about Phil himself, but the festivities around Groundhog Day are plentiful. There's a chili cook-off, ice carving exhibitions, Prognosticators Ball sleigh rides, music, food, fun and games.
The reason for German undertones in Groundhog Day is that it is a very old tradition and the earliest settlers in Pennsylvania were German.
A similar custom takes place in Germany on June 27 called "Siebenschläfertag." If it rains that day, the rest of summer is supposedly going to be rainy.
Serbia celebrates a yearly event that is strikingly similar to Groundhog Day as well. It is celebrated among Orthodox Christians in the country on Feb. 15 each year. If it is sunny and clear, then winter is not over yet. If it is cloudy, winter is about to end.
Punxsutawney Phil is the most well-known, but more than a dozen states celebrate with their own groundhogs, such as Georgia's Gen. Beauregard Lee and Buckeye Chuck in Ohio. Pictured here is Staten Island Chuck, who makes his own annual prediction from New York City's Staten Island Zoo.
According to tradition, the men wearing top hats who lead the Punxsutawney Phil ceremony are known as the "Inner Circle."
There are 15 members of the Inner Circle and each of them has a title that ranges from President and Secretary/Treasurer to Thunder Conductor, Iceman and His Protector.
Continuing to keep up with technology, Phil has been updating his Facebook page and tweeting his predictions for several years now.
As to Phil's accuracy, according to the StormFax Weather Almanac and records kept since 1887, Phil's predictions have been correct 39 percent of the time.
As the tradition goes, if Phil sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. Of the 120 predictions on record so far, Punxsutawney Phil has predicted an early spring 18 times.
Phil's real name is "Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of Prognosticators and Weather Prophet Extraordinaire."
While the 1993 comedy "Groundhog Day," starring Bill Murray as an arrogant and egocentric Pittsburgh TV weatherman who finds himself in a time loop, forced to repeat Groundhog Day over and over again, has brought more attention and bigger crowds to Punxsutawney since its release, it was actually filmed for the most part in Woodstock, Illinois.

North Campus Monarchs
Yesterday afternoon myself and number of other staff members braved the heat to continue our survey of North Campus insects. On the heels of last week's Gulf Fritillary discovery, I found the site's first Monarch butterfly caterpillar, Danaus plexippus!
Monarch butterfly caterpillar
As soon as I saw the caterpillar I knew it was a Monarch: There isn't another caterpillar in our area with such yellow, black, and white banding. Also, the caterpillar was found on a narrow-leaved milkweed plant, Asclepias fascicularis, which is one of the food plants of this well-known species.
Based on its size, this caterpillar is in the second to last caterpillar stage (4th instar). Over the coming weeks it will molt to the last and...

Today (Saturday) is an accessory day.
We started off with Goodmornings, then did 3x8 speed pulls
After the speed pulls i did some GHR work then abs.
Alright all,
I am a Full Power lifter, but my goal right now is to qualify for the Arnold Bench Bash, compete with the best power lifters around at the Arnold in the bench. This does NOT mean I am not going to be training full power, it just means I have an opportunity to Qualify for the Arnold for the bench, why the fuck wouldn't I go for it?!?
The qualifier for Pro at 198 is 445 and at 220 495. I am probably going to cut to 198 and smash the 445. I hope to be close to a 500 bench by the end of this year.
Today (Saturday) is an accessory day.
We started off with Goodmornings, then did 3x8 speed pulls
After the speed pulls i did some GHR work then abs.
What are you weighing now? Will that be a big drop in weight for you?
I am not at all worried about the weight, I traditionally walk around at 200 and I ate my ass off to get to where I am now. I am going to organize my diet as follows
Current: maintenance phase (keep weight the same, neither gaining nor loosing for at least a month or more)
September: Cut the calories a bit and begin working my weight down a little (not too much)
October: pre-meet begin water loading, then manipulate the water and hit the sauna for weigh in. Then after I make weight eat my ass off
October: compete for the qualifier, if I fail. Then shoot for December 7th (another qualifier).
I'm comfortably hovering around 235. I've thought about trying to cut weight to make the 220 class, but dieting down isn't easy for me. I can do it but I think it would severely affect my strength training. So my plan is to make sure I stay in the 242 class and just get stronger.
Best of luck to you brother. Looking forward to see you make the Arnold
315x17 reps
Sunday is an accessory day. Do either volume or speed work, opted for volume. Kept it simple 1 set at 315 for reps
After that, did a bunch of accessory work.
3x5 3board press (315)
3x10 hanging kettle bell presses (working on my horrid stabilizers)
Bunch of rear delt work
Lat work
Do your elbows always shake like that?
Cool, how do you go about fixing something like that?
Max Effort Buffalo bar work
Getting some blood flow. 230 for 31 reps.
accessory work day
suspended good mornings
After good mornings, we hit the rest
Good mornings
Squats 225lbs 5x5
2sets of lunges (light)
Bands for Leg Curls.
Good afternoon everyone,
Today was that max effort squat with 100lbs chains. I made it to 385lbs without wraps. From there I jumped to 425lbs with wraps (that is 525lbs at the top).
Took me two attempts to smash this weight, but I got it. Had to get my head and technique correct !
465 off a two board. not a bad baseline for 3 months out!
Umm that was 475... lol
Sorry math skills
Sunday is always accessory work.
Did 5x5 with the buffalo bar 285lbs. Strict pause at the bottom and practiced my leg drive as well.
After this we took a break and did max effort push press (video above) got 275lbs. Can't complain with that. Last time I failed to get 275 and it took me two attempts to get 250lbs. So this is a 25lbs PR.
After the push press i kinda forget to right everything down because really who cares? Some triceps with the dumbbells and bands, then some pulldowns. Yippee
Worse deadlift ever.
Glutes not firing,
using too much back.
Too tight going down.
Well I pulled into the bar better then normal. Small victory.
EPIC frigging squat day !
So my competition PR is 450... Today I smashed 475 on my 2nd attempt. My first attempt I fail, lost my air at the bottom and didn't get it... Tried again and absolutely smashed it.
Can't wait to compete again I will be at 500 in no time
After squats I did some speed pulls about 6 sets *was a bit too heavy*
Then some GHR and hyper extensions for the win
Excellent day
So happy

My thoughts on PSL Gear.
A bit more PIP then I am used to but damn this shit is going good. The M1T definitely has a big of a bang for the buck. I feel stronger on it and ready to smash. However my liver also feels it.
I love the test / eq combo. Nice and mild on the sides and I really feel great.
Very nice reverse band training session today. Went a bit too heavy on the 2nd set and failed... Remember the goal is to NOT FAIL. SO I was very happy that I recovered and dialed it in just right on that third set and got my peak / grinder and was able to complete the rep.
After this we played around with some volume with 185 / 225 / 245 and just did a little bit of rep work.
Then we did a few tripples with the pin presses (working the lockout) I was able to get 405 for 3 then 425 for 2 then 455 for 1. Then we dialed it down to 315 and did some reps (one set) and polished it off. The triceps were DONE.
Then just some back work and flyes with some bands.
Heavy accessory movement. Yes these were a tad high, but my training partners are taller then me so it was a fine compromise. Got a nice PR and was happy with that !
After the heavy accessory I did
3 sets of walking lunges (nothing crazy)
10 sets of leg extensions
10 sets of glute ham raise.
Side note: Glute Ham Raise properly executed is HARD. I am getting better at them though. The goal is to be able to do 5 sets of 20.
Hah not even close yet!

William Paterson University
Paterson State Normal School Circa 1928
From its beginnings as a normal school in the city of Paterson to its current designation as a comprehensive university, The William Paterson University of New Jersey has been dedicated to providing educational opportunities and service to the community.
The institution was founded in 1855 as the Paterson City Normal School in response to the growing demand for professional preparation of teachers-in-service in the emerging free public schools of Paterson. By 1875, the normal school had added a one-year teacher training curriculum for high school graduates seeking to become teachers, which was later increased to two years. In 1910, the school, which had changed location several times, was moved to the brand-new School #24 on 19th Avenue and East 22nd Street in Paterson, where it remained for 40 years.
With a growing realization that the responsibility for teacher preparation should rest with the state, local educators urged the state to take over the Paterson City Normal School. In 1923 the State Legislature passed an act to establish the New Jersey State Normal School at Paterson. Its sole aim, as later described in the 1929-30 catalog, was "to develop a well-trained teacher for service in the schools of the State."
Beginning in 1936, the school began offering general college courses to students not planning a teaching career, as well as a four-year general elementary curriculum. In April, 1937, the name of the school was changed to the New Jersey State Teacher's College at Paterson and a degree-granting curriculum was established.
The college entered a period of growth, adding an adult school (1938), a nursing program (1939), a business education curriculum (1943), a kindergarten/primary curriculum (1943), and a reading clinic (1944). The country's involvement in World War II resulted in the establishment of a child care center and a college unit of the Red Cross.
With enrollment growing as veterans took advantage of the G.I. Bill, the college sought a new campus with room for expansion. In 1948, the state purchased for $200,000 the Wayne estate of the family of Garret Hobart, the vice president of the United States under William McKinley. The site, featuring 250 hill-top acres and a turn-of-the-century manor house, became the new home of the college in 1951.
From 1954 until 1966, the college experienced rapid expansion of the physical plant, curricula, special services for the student body and administrative offices. The first graduate program in education was instituted in 1955. In April 1958, the institution became Paterson State College as the State Board of Education eliminated the word "teachers" from the name of each of the six state colleges, although the mission of preparing teachers continued to be the main focus. Also in 1958, for the first time the college was accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
With the opening of the first student residence hall in 1962, the college for the first time could enroll students living beyond commuting distance. During 1966, degree-granting programs in fields other than education were added. By then, the faculty had grown from 35 in 1954 to 212.
In 1967, the college, by state mandate, was transformed into a multipurpose liberal arts institution. In 1971, the institution became The William Paterson College of New Jersey, in honor of the New Jersey patriot and statesman.
The college continued to evolve during the 1970s and 1980s. In 1978, a portion of William Paterson's personal papers were purchased by the Alumni Association and donated to the college. The collection, which constitutes a quarter of Paterson's papers, rivals that of the Library of Congress. Other milestones include the establishment of the Distinguished Lecturer Series, a forum for speakers with national and international prominence, in 1980; the authorization and implementation of a master's degree in business administration in 1981; and the institution of a 60-credit general education requirement in 1982. A $4.3 million Governor's Challenge Grant, awarded in 1987, provided the college with money to enhance the science and communication programs. In 1994, the college initiated a Comprehensive Analysis of all academic programs and administrative functions to lay the groundwork for planning as the institution approaches the year 2000. Based upon the quality and breadth of our faculty and our academic, cultural and community service programs, on June 27, 1997, the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education accepted the college's petition to become The William Paterson University of New Jersey. The University celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2005.
Today, The William Paterson University of New Jersey enrolls more than 11,200 undergraduate and graduate students. It supports 43 undergraduate and 21 graduate degree programs in five colleges: Arts and Communication, Christos M. Cotsakos College of Business, Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Science and Health. The institution's 370 full-time faculty, who are widely respected for their teaching, research and scholarship, include 26 Fulbright scholars.
The 370-acre campus features 31 major facilities, including the Atrium, an academic building housing student computer labs, a state-of-the-art language lab and a humanities media center; the expanded and renovated David and Lorraine Cheng Library with more than 350,000 bound volumes; the Financial Learning Center, a technologically advanced academic facility featuring live data feeds; Hobart Hall, a state-of-the-art communication complex; a science complex; performing and fine arts centers, multipurpose recreation and student centers and resident housing for nearly 2,300 students. The university is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.

GOP leaders to block military immigration measureap file photo
This photo shows House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia speaking on Capitol Hill in Washington. A spokesman for Cantor says hell block a vote next week on legislation giving a path to citizenship to people living here illegally who serve in the military. Fridays announcement from Cantor comes after a Republican congressman from California announced plans to try to bring the measure to a vote as an amendment to the annual defense bill.
WASHINGTON House Republican leaders intervened Friday to prevent a vote on immigration legislation, dealing a severe blow to election-year efforts to overhaul the dysfunctional system.
The move came after a Republican congressman from California announced plans to try to force a vote next week, over strong conservative opposition, on his measure creating a path to citizenship for immigrants who were brought illegally to the U.S. as children and serve in the military.
Rep. Jeff Denham labeled his bill the ENLIST Act and said he would seek a vote as an amendment to the popular annual defense bill, the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA.
In response, Doug Heye, spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, said: No proposed ENLIST amendments to NDAA will be made in order.
Heye said no stand-alone vote on the measure would be permitted, either.
It was the latest setback for President Barack Obamas efforts to move comprehensive immigration legislation through Congress to boost border security, remake legal worker programs and offer legal status to the estimated 11.5 million people now living here illegally. The Senate passed an immigration bill last year, but its been stalled in the GOP-led House.
Denhams measure was widely popular and seen as perhaps the likeliest area for compromise.
But in recent weeks prominent conservative groups, including the Heritage Foundation, announced their opposition. Heritage Action, the groups political arm, announced it would include the vote in its ratings on lawmakers and called Denhams legislation deplorable.
Cantor himself, who previously had supported offering a path to citizenship for immigrants brought illegally as children, faces a primary challenge in Virginia June 10 from a tea party opponent who has criticized the majority leader for not being conservative enough and accused him of supporting amnesty for immigrants living here illegally.
Dave Brat, an economics professor at Randolph-Macon College, is a long-shot to unseat Cantor, but his campaign has won attention and support from conservative leaders such as radio host Laura Ingraham, partly because of his attacks against Cantor over immigration.
Cantor, House Speaker John Boehner and other House GOP leaders have insisted they want to advance immigration legislation, though theyve rejected the Senates comprehensive bill. Chances have always looked slim, but the White House and outside advocates saw a window for action over the next several months, before Congress August recess and November midterm elections.
Fridays developments seemed to all but rule out anything happening on the issue this year in the House, if even Denhams limited measure could not advance. Despite a wide coalition of business, labor, religious groups, farmers and others pushing for an immigration overhaul, many individual Republican House members who represent largely white districts have been unmoved.
Asked Friday if Boehner disagreed with Cantors decision, Boehners spokesman, Michael Steel, said he did not.
Denhams office had no immediate reaction to Cantors announcement. But in an interview beforehand, Denham, who has a competitive race in his heavily Latino district in central California, said he would keep pushing his legislation regardless of what leadership did.

However, please be aware that we receive a large number of requests for our ambulances and crews to attend local schools and community events.
East Midlands Ambulance Service is keen to support events that aim to educate and raise awareness about our service and we endeavour to attend as many as possible.
However, due to the ever increasing demand for our services (we receive a 999 call every 45 seconds), all available resources must be used to respond to 999 calls.
This means that we rely on the goodwill of our frontline staff to volunteer and attend events during their rest days, and this limits the events we can support.
It is with regret that, for the reasons given above, we are unable to meet most requests of this type.

|Title: Distribution of Blood Derivatives by Registered Blood Establishments That Qualify as Health Care Entities; PDMA of 1987; PDA of 1992; Policies, Requirements, and Administrative Procedures
|Abstract: FDA is proposing to amend certain limited provisions of the implementing regulations of the Prescription Drug Marketing Act (PDMA) of 1987, as modified by the Prescription Drug Amendments (PDA) of 1992 and the FDA Modernization Act of 1997. Certain provisions of that final rule that published on December 3, 1999, (64 FR 67720), do not allow a registered blood establishment that provides health care services related to its activities as a blood establishment to concurrently distribute blood derivatives. The effective date of those provisions of that rule is December 1, 2006, as published on February 23, 2004, (69 FR 8105). FDA is amending the final rule to allow a registered blood establishment that concurrently provides health care services to also distribute blood derivatives.

British participants on the FZY gap year scheme joined athletes from around the world to take part in the Jerusalem Marathon and raise more than £7,400 for the Ethiopian Barmitzvah Fund.
Forty-five members of the year course group completed runs. Most took on 10 kilometres, while three people successfully finished the half-marathon.
A Swedish member of the group, Michael Einhorn, even managed the full 42 kilometres of the marathon route. "Afterwards I got a medal, fruit, water, yoghurt and congratulations from people I'd never met, "he said. "It was one of the best experiences ever, another year course memory that I will never forget."
The FZY group hopes to raise £12,000 for the charity with different events throughout their time in Israel.

Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work
Lyle S. Hallman Foundation funding supports Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Sep 10/12| For Immediate Release
Dr. Simone Weil Davis, Coordinator, Inside-Out Canada
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier University and its partners will continue to expand the successful Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, thanks to a generous donation from the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation. An official announcement of the gift was made at a ceremony Sept. 10 at Lauriers Faculty of Social Work in Kitchener.
The Foundation is excited to be part of breaking down stereotypes between people inside and outside of prison, said Laura Manning, executive director of the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation. We believe this program will help to make our community stronger, and we applaud Wilfrid Laurier University for its innovative work.
Since 2011, Lauriers Inside-Out program has brought outside Laurier students to the Grand Valley Institution for Women, a federal correctional facility located in Kitchener, to complete one of their required courses together with incarcerated inside students. Last semester, 17 social work students from Laurier took part in the program alongside 17 inside students.
The Inside-Out Program is transformational for the incarcerated students, said Peter Stuart, education counsellor, Correctional Service of Canada Grand Valley Institution for Women. By working toward university credits alongside students from the community, they see that they are capable of being successful at the post-secondary level. I am confident that they will be much more likely to continue post-secondary studies upon their release as a result of this program.
Stuart also noted that there is a marked decrease in recidivism rates for offenders who participate in post-secondary study while incarcerated, a further societal benefit of the program.
The donation from the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation will help support a new Inside-Out course this fall, Human Rights in a Globalizing World, for 20 students (10 inside and 10 outside). It will also help Laurier and the Grand Valley Institution for Women to launch the first Canadian Inside-Out Instructor Training Institute next summer. The training institute will host a customized, rigorous week-long course for faculty interested in launching Inside-Out programs at their own institutions.
We are very grateful to the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation for their generosity toward this outstanding program, said Rob Donelson, vice-president, Development & Alumni Relations. Laurier is the leader in developing the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program in Canada, and this donation will enable us to build the program and provide the opportunity for other prisons, correctional facilities and post-secondary institutions to participate.
In fall of 2011, Laurier was one of two universities nationwide to launch Inside-Out in Canada, and it is currently the only institution in the country to host multiple courses. Founded at Temple University in 1997, the program is well established in the United States. One hundred and twenty-five colleges and universities across 25 states have sponsored Inside-Out classes and 100 correctional institutions have housed the programs.
The Inside-Out Center at Temple University, international headquarters of The Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program, wants to express our enthusiastic support of Laurier's commitment to expanding the Inside-Out Program in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, as well as across Canada, said Lori Pompa, founder and director of the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program. We look forward to collaborating with our Canadian partners in realizing this growth over the coming years.

Because Microsoft must respond to changing market conditions,it should not be interpreted to be a commitment on the part of Microsoft,and Microsoft cannot guarantee the accuracy of any information presentedafter the date of publication.This White Paper is for informational purposes only. MICROSOFT MAKES NOWARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN THIS DOCUMENT.Microsoft, the BackOffice logo, MS-DOS, Windows, and Windows NT areregistered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.Other product or company names mentioned herein may be the trademarks oftheir respective owners.Microsoft CorporationOne Microsoft WayRedmond, WA 98052-6399USA0997DEFAULT USER TEMPLATE PROFILES==============================During Windows NT 4.0 Workstation installation, the setup program creates ageneric User Profile, the Default User, and saves it in a folder in theprofiles directory. These default settings define an environment for newusers who log on to the computer locally or who log on to a domain thatdoes not contain a network Default User profile. When a new user logs on, aprofile directory is created for that user, and the default settings arewritten to the new user's directory. (The profile may or may not then becustomizable, depending upon how the administrator has configuredprofiles.)In Windows NT 4.0, administrators have the option of generating a networkDefault User profile that, if present, will be used before the localDefault User profile is used. With the original retail release of WindowsNT 4.0, workstations downloaded this network Default User profile and themost recent NTconfig.pol file, and cached them in the local Default User(Network) and Policy folders, respectively. Then, instead of automaticallydownloading these from the server whenever they were needed, the logonprocess compared the time/date/size stamps of the two versions, and if theywere the same, used the cached versions without performing anotherdownload. With Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2, however, the System Policyfile, NTconfig.pol, is downloaded during each logon. (The profilefunctionality remains unchanged-the profile is downloaded only if the localcopy is out of date.)PROFILE NAMES AND STORAGE IN THE REGISTRY=========================================Windows NT 4.0 records which profile should be used by which user byplacing registry keys for the user's security ID (SID) in the registry in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \ProfileListEach user who has logged on to the local machine will have a SID recordedhere in a subkey, with a value that contains the path to that user's localprofile, ProfileImagePath. Should multiple users with the same account namelog on to the network, separate distinct profiles are created for each. Forexample, if multiple users with the account name John Smith log on to thecomputer, the first John Smith is assigned a folder named JohnSmith.Subsequent users with the same name are assigned folders named JohnSmithwith a numerical suffix appended, for example JohnSmith.000, JohnSmith.001,and so forth.MANUALLY ADMINISTERING A USER PROFILE THROUGH THE REGISTRY==========================================================As system administrator, you may need to change a given setting to avoidunnecessary user interaction, to make modifications before setting theprofile to mandatory, or to add custom registry entries. In addition, youmay need to modify the Default User Profile on a computer before new userslog on and use it as the template. You can open a specific user's profileor the Default User Profile and customize it manually as explained in theprocedure below.NOTE: Make sure that the user is not logged on before using this procedure.If the user is logged on while changes are made, the changes will beoverwritten by the user's preferences because profile settings are saved atlog off.As discussed earlier, the NTuser.dat file contains all of the registrysettings located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. As system administrator, you canmodify the data contained in the NTuser.dat portion of the profile byloading the hive into the registry.To manually customize a User Profile:1. Locate the profile to be modified. - If the profile is a server-based profile, locate the \\server\share\username and determine the extension on the NTuser.xxx file. - If the profile is a local profile, locate the %systemroot%\Profiles\username directory, and determine the extension on the Ntuser.xxx file. - If you need to edit the Default User Profile, locate the %systemroot%\Profiles\Default User directory, and determine the extension on the Ntuser.xxx file. - If you need to edit the Network Default User Profile, locate the Default User folder in the NETLOGON share of the domain controllers that are doing user authentication, and determine the extension on the Ntuser.xxx file. If there is more than one domain controller and directory replication is ensuring that the "Default User" profile is the same on all domain controllers, open only the profile on the domain controller which is the export server.2. Start Regedt32.exe, and select the HKEY_USERS on Local Machine window. Highlight the root key of HKEY_USERS.3. From the Registry menu, select Load Hive.4. Browse for the directory identified in Step 1, and select the NTuser.xxx file located in that directory.5. A dialog will prompt you to enter a Key Name. You can use any value, but you must remember this value so that you can select it during the unload process. For this reason, we recommend that you use the user name.6. Click Enter. This adds the profile registry hive as a subkey to HKEY_USERS, as shown in the illustration below.7. Edit the existing values as necessary.8. After completing the changes, highlight the root of the user's profile registry key, and from the Registry menu, select Unload Hive. This saves the changes to the user's profile. (When you first selected Load Hive, the key was mapped to the file selected in the Open dialog. A Save As option is therefore unnecessary.)MODIFYING THE DEFAULT USER PROFILE==================================To modify a Windows NT-based workstation's Default User Profile settings orto modify the Network Default User Profile, load the NTuser.xxx hive intothe registry as outlined above, make the necessary changes, and unload thehive (this automatically saves the changes). - The workstation Default User Profile is located in the \%systemroot%\Profiles\Default User directory. - To make changes to the Network Default User Profile, use the Ntuser.xxx file from the scripts export directory (%systemroot%\system32\repl\export\scripts) of the domain controller that is the export server for the domain. Any changes that you make to this file will be replicated to the other domain controllers (which are import servers).To provide users with a Default User Profile that contains customshortcuts, folders, and files that are not centrally managed, place theicons in the appropriate folder within the Default User Profile. New userswill receive the shortcuts, folders, and files as part of their newprofiles. For example, if you want each new user that logs on to a givencomputer to receive a folder called "My Storage" on the desktop, justcreate this folder in the path: \%systemroot%\Profiles\Default User\DesktopUPGRADING WINDOWS NT 3.5X SERVER-BASEDPROFILES TO WINDOWS NT 4.0 ROAMING PROFILES===========================================When you upgrade Windows NT 3.5x roaming profiles (.usr profiles), you donot need to change anything in the profile path configured in the useraccount. When the user logs on to a Windows NT 4.0-based machine and theprofile is found to be a Windows NT 3.5x profile, a process automaticallylooks for the equivalent Windows NT 4.0 profile. If the profile isn'tfound, a conversion process creates a new Windows NT 4.0 profile using thesettings established in the Windows NT 3.5x profile.During the conversion process, Windows NT 4.0 creates a directory for thenew profile in the same location as the existing Windows NT 3.5x profile.The resulting directory has a .pds extension, which stands for ProfileDirectory Structure, rather than the previous Windows NT 3.5x .usrextension. For example, if the User Profile path for the Windows NT 3.5xuser mydomainuser is \\myserver\myshare\mydomainuser.usr, and the user logson to a Windows NT 4.0-based machine, the profile directorymydomainuser.pds would be created within \\myserver\myshare.This approach allows the user to log on to the network from either aWindows NT 3.5x or 4.0-based workstation. If the user were to log on from aWindows NT 3.5x-based computer, the profile path would direct the WindowsNT 3.5x-based machine to the User Profile used prior to the Windows NT 4.0upgrade. If the user then moved to a Windows NT 4.0-based computer, theuser's Windows NT-based workstation would recognize that the profilecontained Windows NT 3.5x syntax, would replace the .usr with .pds, andwould then use that string to locate the Windows NT 4.0 profile. Theresulting Windows NT 4.0 structure will be the Windows NT 3.51 profile (nowNTuser.xxx) and the Default User Profile folders.It is important to emphasize that the Windows NT 3.5x profile is notdeleted-it is still available to the user should they ever log on from aWindows NT 3.5x-based computer. It is also important to note that thesettings for these two profiles are completely independent; changes made tothe Windows NT 3.5x profile will not be reflected in the Windows NT 4.0profile, and vice versa.NOTE: As an administrator, if you review the directory structures in theshare where users' roaming profiles are stored, and no .pds or .pdmextensions are appended, this is normal. No extension is appended toroaming profile directories that are new to Windows NT 4.0. Theseextensions are only added when profiles are migrated from Windows NT 3.5xto 4.0, or when the administrator creates a new Windows NT 4.0 mandatoryprofile that requires a successful logon.UPGRADING WINDOWS NT 3.5X MANDATORYPROFILES TO WINDOWS NT 4.0 MANDATORY PROFILES=============================================Upgrades of Windows NT 3.5x mandatory profiles to Windows NT 4.0 cannot bedone automatically. This is because the same restrictions that prevent auser from saving any changes to his or her profile also restricts thesystem's ability to generate a new Windows NT 4.0 mandatory profile from anexisting profile.When you upgrade a Windows NT 3.5x mandatory profile, the profile path doesnot need to be modified. However, you will need to create a new mandatoryprofile with the same desired settings. To create the mandatory profile,you can remove the mandatory extension from the old profile and force aconversion, or you can create the new profile from a template. Bothprocedures are explained below.To create a mandatory profile from the old profile:1. Replace the .man extension on the existing mandatory profile with the extension .usr.2. Change the extension on the user's profile path from .man to .usr.3. Allow the user to log on. This permits the conversion to take place.4. Have the user log off. This creates a directory with the name of the profile and a .pds extension.5. Change the .pds folder extension to .pdm and change the user's profile path back to .man.6. Rename the NTuser.dat file to NTuser.man.To create the profile from an existing template profile:1. In the \\server\share specified in the User Profile path, create a folder with the directory name of the location where the profile is stored. Use the .pdm extension for this directory name. For example, if the user name is domainuser, the directory name would be \\server\share\domainuser.pdm.2. On the Windows NT-based computer hosting the profile, log on as an administrator and map a drive to the \\server\share where the profile will be stored.3. From the Control Panel, click System.4. On the User Profiles page, select the profile to be copied. Use the Copy To option to select the user's folder created in Step 1, modify the permissions to reflect the proper account, and click OK. The profile is now written to the designated location, including the folder trees and the NTuser.xxx file originally included with the profile. The permissions are also encoded into the binary NTuser.xxx file.5. In the directory that the profile was copied to, check the NTuser.xxx file for the .man extension. If the extension is .dat, the profile will still be modifiable. Change the extension to .man, if necessary.Note that because the User Profile was saved into a directory with a .pdmextension, both the Windows NT 3.5x and Windows NT 4.0 profiles exist onthe server. A user can log on from either a Windows NT 3.5x or Windows NT4.0-based computer, and the appropriate profile will be used.EXTRACTING A USER PROFILE FOR USE ON ANOTHER DOMAIN OR MACHINE==============================================================As explained previously in this document, a user is given explicitpermissions to use a profile, and these permissions can be created andcontrolled by an administrator or generated automatically by the systemwhen the user first logs on.If a profile has permissions that differ from those needed by the user (forexample, if the profile was created for a user on a different domain), theprofile permissions must be changed to function correctly. As an example,suppose you have a Windows NT-based workstation that you would like to havejoin the domain, but you want the user to be able to retain his or herprofile settings. The Windows NT-based workstation is currently a part ofthe WORKER workgroup and will be joining the domain BIGDOMAIN.To change the profile:1. Log on to the computer as an administrator, and create a local account that will be used only temporarily to house the profile during the conversion process.2. Log on as a temporary user and immediately log off. This will create a subdirectory underneath the %systemroot%\Profiles directory with the name of the account that logged on.3. Log back on as an administrator, and configure the workstation to join the domain.4. After the workstation has joined the domain, reboot the computer.5. After the machine restarts, log on as the user from the domain that will need the converted profile, and then log off. This sets up the directory structure needed to complete the conversion process.6. Log back on as an administrator, and copy the profile structure, including the Ntuser.xxx file and all subdirectories, from the directory that stored the workgroup user's profile to the subdirectory created for the temporary user in Step 2.7. From the Control Panel, click System.8. On the User Profiles property page, select the temporary user profile, and click Copy To. Browse under %systemroot%\Profiles to locate the subdirectory that contains the profile for the domain user that logged on in Step 5. Click OK and then click the Change button for the permissions.9. Select the domain user who will use the profile. Click OK to copy the profile.10. Log off and log on as the domain user. The profile settings should now be available to that user.NOTE: Alternatively, you can copy the profile and use the instructions fromthe section "Encoding Permissions in the User Profile" to change thepermissions. However, this requires that you manually edit the registry.CREATING PROFILES WITHOUT USER-SPECIFIC CONNECTIONS===================================================In some cases, you may want to create profiles that include preconfiguredpersistent connections. However, if you need to supply alternatecredentials when you create the template profile, this can cause problemsfor users later when the profile is used.Information about persistent connections is stored in the registry locationHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network. This key has subkeys that list the persistentdrive connections by drive letter. For each of these subkeys, there is avalue of UserName. If alternate credentials must be supplied to make theconnection, those credentials are also stored here. Note that this includesonly the domain and user account name; the password is not included. Whenthe user receives this profile and logs on, Windows NT attempts toreconnect the drive, but the alternate credentials are sent rather thanthose of the logged on user.. Note that if the UserName value contains ablank string, the credentials of the logged on user are sent (which is thedesired behavior in this case).To avoid inadequate credentials or wrong credentials being sent, use one ofthe following approaches: - Avoid having to supply alternate credentials when you create the connections to network resources in the shared profile by granting the user creating the template profile sufficient permissions in advance. - Before modifying the profile to be a mandatory profile, run a REGINI script that removes the credentials from the UserName value. Do not delete the value, only the string data.TROUBLESHOOTING USER PROFILES WITH THE USERENV.LOG FILE=======================================================The Userenv.log is an invaluable tool for troubleshooting the process ofloading and unloading User Profiles. Each step in the User Profile processis recorded in the log, including informational and error-related messages.The checked version of the UserEnv.dll is the same dynamic link library(.dll) as the retail version, except that it contains debug flags that youcan set and use with the kernel debugger.This file, which is included in both the Windows NT Device Driver Kit (DDK)and the Windows NT Software Development Kit (SDK), when used in conjunctionwith a registry entry, generates a log file that can be used introubleshooting and debugging problems with roaming profiles and systempolicies on Windows NT 4.0 clients.To enable logging:1. Rename the file UserEnv.dll in the %systemroot%\SYSTEM32 directory to Userenv.old or to a unique name of your choice.2. Copy the checked version of UserEnv.dll to the %systemroot%\SYSTEM32 directory of the client machine that you want to debug. The checked version of the UserEnv file must match the version of the operating system and Service Pack installed on the client computer.3. Start REGEDT32 and locate the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion \Winlogon4. Create a new value called UserEnvDebugLevel as a REG_DWORD type. Assign the hex value 10002.5. Reboot the computer.Logging information will be recorded in the root directory of the C driveas UserEnv.log. You can use Notepad to view the log file. A sample log isprovided next.Sample Log----------LoadUserProfile. : Entering, hToken = <0xac>, lpProfileInfo = 0x12f4f4LoadUserProfile: lpProfileInfo->dwFlags = <0x2>LoadUserProfile: lpProfileInfo->lpUserName = <administrator>LoadUserProfile: NULL central profile pathLoadUserProfile: lpProfileInfo->lpDefaultPath = <\\DfsES\netlogon\DefaultUser>LoadUserProfile: lpProfileInfo->lpServerName = <\\DfsES>LoadUserProfile: lpProfileInfo->lpPolicyPath =<\\DfsES\netlogon\ntconfig.pol>RestoreUserProfile: EnteringRestoreUserProfile: Profile path = <>RestoreUserProfile: User is a AdminIsCentralProfileReachable: EnteringIsCentralProfileReachable: Null path.

- Title
- Confinement-induced resonances in anharmonic waveguides
- Author(s)
- Peng, Shi-Guo; Hu, Hui; Liu, Xia-Ji; Drummond, Peter D.
- Abstract
- We develop the theory of anharmonic confinement-induced resonances (ACIRs). These are caused by anharmonic excitation of the transverse motion of the center of mass (c.m.) of two bound atoms in a waveguide. As the transverse confinement becomes anisotropic, we find that the c.m. resonant solutions split for a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) system, in agreement with recent experiments. This is not found in harmonic confinement theories. A new resonance appears for repulsive couplings (a3D>0) for a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) system, which is also not seen with harmonic confinement. After inclusion of anharmonic energy corrections within perturbation theory, we find that these ACIRs agree extremely well with anomalous 1D and 2D confinement-induced resonance positions observed in recent experiments. Multiple even- and odd-order transverse ACIRs are identified in experimental data, including up to N=4 transverse c.m. quantum numbers.

I still think the payoff of Shump in another year or 2 will be worth it.

I'd much rather make small moves for players like Blair and/or Stiemsma or even Jermaine O'Neal.
Nothing has continued, bro. We haven't traded Shump and I doubt that Grunnie would trade him after playing less than 20 games so far after a major ACL injury.
IMO, this is just a little way to maybe get Shump fired up to perform at a higher level. This is just a weak trade rumor that does not make much sense for us. The Knicks are 32-16 so far and I doubt that a player like Dudley would make much of a difference for this ball club, as compared to Shump who will be a very valuable defensive cog once the playoffs arrive.

Lose perimeter defender when we need another?
Dudley for Shump, no thx.
Trade a 22 year old player that has the potential to be one of the best perimeter defenders in the league? No thanks. I swear if the Knicks trade Shump I will be pissed. Shump has way too much potential to pass up that's why Phoenix is hoping to rebuild with him on their team. Dudley really isn't worth it and this years draft isn't going to be as good as last years.
Looks like the Suns have their own lottery pick and a couple of contingent protected picks this year. I doubt the Suns are dealing their lottery pick so they're talking about those other picks I'm sure. But if the Suns want to deal their own pick which might be a top 5 lottery pick I think the Knicks have to listen.
I looked closely at our game vs The Timberwolves. We were killed by that two guard offense. Setting screens to free up those guards that can shoot or drive to the basket. Shumpert was kind of useless in that game. I don't even think he played the second half. What lock down defense??? What are Iman's ppg?? Build a team around him?? He is a role player. Not even a scorer. At least Dudley can hit shots if left open. Right now we have Melo and Stat as dependable scoring. Who else?? What championship do y'all think we can win this way?? Stop getting so attached to these players. It's not personal, it's a business. I WANT TO WIN THIS SEASON!!!!
Shump's clearly not himself and won't be until next year. Hopefully he'll have some more pop in April and May

why u all wana trade Novak? its only player in Knicks roster that really can shoot 3s from any place i understand this guy dont play D he is just task man but his 3s are imporant. We need DEEP bench.

As Rio+20 negotiators rush [3] to complete a consolidated text [4] of outcomes before heads of state begin arriving tomorrow, participants at hundreds of side events are calling on business and government to take stronger action on clean energy, poverty elimination, food security, oceans, sustainable cities, green technology development, education, and more.
On Sunday at the U.S. Center pavilion [5], C2ES and the Global Environment Facility [6] (GEF) convened a panel [7] of companies, small-business innovators, and business representatives highlighting the critical roles played by each in promoting low-carbon innovation and sustainable development.
Clay Nesler from Johnson Controls [8] described a technology partnership [9] with Australian inventors leveraging their Shaw Method of Air conditioning (SMAC) with TwinCoil™ technology to deploy the energy-saving technology more broadly. The technology and innovative control algorithms allow the control of space temperature to be decoupled from humidity control, generating significant energy savings.
On a broader scale, Dawn Rittenhouse from DuPont [10] described the global scope of DuPont's science and technology investment [11]. The company has more than 9,500 scientists and engineers working in over 150 R&D centers worldwide—including here in Brazil—and it invested $2 billion R&D in 2011. Eighty-six percent of that R&D spend was targeted at finding solutions to global challenges—food, energy, and environmental protection. Dawn emphasized that working with local customers [12] is a critical part of DuPont's process for developing successful new solutions.
The need to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as key engines for job growth was emphasized by Pradeep Monga of UNIDO [13]. Pradeed related the success of initiatives such as the South Africa Clean-Tech Competition [14] that seek to adapt a "Silicon Valley" model to local needs and context.
Rex Northen from Cleantech Open [15] stressed the steps and best practices that countries and business can take to find, foster, and support innovators and entrepreneurs and build innovation "ecosystems." And Roberto Alvarez of ABDI [16] reported on Brazil's rapidly improving ecosystem for innovation, including $2 billion invested in more than 200 tech centers, education initiatives to grow engineering skills, and legal frameworks that encourage venture and private equity investment.
Within the formal negotiations, meanwhile, there appears to be strong support among developing countries for the UN's drive [17] to expand access to energy, but less enthusiasm for ensuring that new energy sources are as clean and efficient as possible. That position may be understandable, given today's economic instability and the critical role of energy (clean or not) in economic development.
But evidence abounds [18] that environmental protection and economic growth need not be a zero-sum game. And the initiatives highlighted at our side event and others here illustrate the many ways in which innovation can indeed contribute to sustainable growth.

First, we believe it may have been a mistake for the BDA not to meet with the city regarding the decision to extend funds to bring the Texas Mile back to Beeville.
City Manager Deborah Ballí said she had requested a joint meeting with the BDA board for the Thursday night session but the BDA had declined the invitation.
Many citizens cannot understand why the insurance cost is so high. The BDA board is requiring the Texas Mile to pay for a $50 million insurance policy for their twice-a-year event at Chase Field. Most such events require a $5 million policy, the organizers say.
As one person commented online, "It is a small event, not a Nascar race. Chase Field is completely deserted unless the Texas Mile comes in March and October. I could understand if Sikorsky was still up and running, but it's not anymore.
"I would be a disappointed citizen if the Texas Mile had to stop coming. This is a great opportunity for profit to come through Beeville as well as tourists, and a great opportunity for the Automotive Department at Coastal Bend College, because we as students have a chance to inspect these cars from all over the country..."
We also realize the BDA and Joe Montez, its executive director, are in a predicament. Yes, Sikorsky and its helicopter-repair jobs have vacated the premises. But the BDA still has tenants and assets, including high-priced aircraft stored in hangars at the former naval base.
As one official pointed out, "Just look at what happened at the Rialto," where an automobile accidentally crashed through the exterior wall, causing extensive damage to the renovated historic downtown theater recently.
There have been accidents (even one resulting in a fatality) at the Texas Mile, and the BDA certainly could not afford to be exposed to the liability resulting from such an occurrence at Chase Field.
Some question whether the city made a smart decision to award J&S Matus Motorsports $80,000 of its hotel and motel occupancy tax funds to pay for the Texas Mile's insurance, since it is a for-profit entity.
Yet, after hearing organizer Shannon Matus' report concerning the semi-annual land speed event, the council believes the city benefits from hosting it. Matus said that the Texas Mile brought 6,395 participants, crew and spectators to Beeville last year and they spent more than $700,000 in raw dollars during 2012.
It's a unique event, "puts heads in beds" (at the many motels) and has a devoted following among auto racers and enthusiasts, as well as some business owners. At least 30 Texas Mile supporters attended last Thursday's meeting.
So, we can understand why the council voted 4-1 to provide the HOT funds.
Perhaps the BDA will deliver a suitable replacement for Sikorsky and, after attaining "public use" airport status with instrument flight rules rating, fill up all the vacant hangars and aviation-related facilities at Chase Field in the near future.
In that case, maybe the Texas Mile would have to move to a more remote location. If Bee County really wants to retain this attraction long term, some landowner could step up and offer to construct the long runway and facilities needed to host the Mile.
That would be a win-win scenario. In the meantime, these entities must learn to coexist peacefully.

It takes more than the luck of the Irish to win this category. Modeled after Ireland's oldest pub, Dublin and Grandview's Brazenhead locations might not be exact replicas from the homeland, but they've consistently inspired the same friendly neighborhood vibe. Among the attractions: an extensive draught and bottle list, $4 "Happetizers" to encourage early arrival and regular entertainment ranging from bands to trivia. This is the kind of treasure that used to be available only at the end of rainbows.

Saying a thousand words without saying a thing
Sergey Brin, Googles co-founder, had an epiphany about the simplicity of communication through images while wearing Google Glass, the companys controversial, high-tech glasses.
Brin said he was eating a meal while wearing Glass when he received a text message asking what he was doing. He snapped a picture with his glasses and replied with the photo of his surroundings.
It was fascinating to see that I could just reply to a text message with a photo, Brin said in an interview. He didnt need to type or say anything; the image was enough.
Photos, once slices of a moment in the past sunsets, cappuccinos, the family vacation are fast becoming an entirely new type of dialogue. The cutting-edge crowd is learning that communicating with a simple image, be it a picture of whats for dinner or a street sign that slyly indicates to a friend, Hey, Im waiting for you, is easier than bothering with words, even in a world of hyper-abbreviated tweets and texts.
This is a watershed time where we are moving away from photography as a way of recording and storing a past moment, said Robin Kelsey, a professor of photography at Harvard University, and we are turning photography into a communication medium.
Not surprisingly, the largest social networking companies are spending billions of dollars to be the place where consumers latch onto these visual nods.
They know the stakes. While it might seem that Yahoos Flickr, Facebook, which also owns Instagram, and Twitter are fighting to become the ultimate online photo album or video vault, these companies are really fighting to provide the service for the newest way to communicate. Miss that shift, and they risk irrelevancy.
Brin isnt alone with his brisk visual responses. Snapchat is a mobile application that allows a person to take and send a picture or video, then control how long up to 10 seconds its visible to the person who receives it. After the photo is viewed, it disappears forever, like a casual exchange on the street.
You have images now that have no possible afterlife, said Kelsey. They are simply communicative.
From the Paleolithic drawings of the Lascaux Cave in France to the fleeting pictures of Snapchat, managed in an office near the beach in Venice, Calif., in 20,000 years or so we continue to express ourselves through images.
But the art of ancient hunters never had the opportunity to go viral. Evan Spiegel, Snapchats co-founder, who built the service two years ago while at Stanford University, recently said that Snapchat users sent 200 million images a day, up from 50 million images a day in December.
Snapchat isnt alone with its rapid rise in image-sharing. Instagram said last week that people shared 45 million photos a day on the site; 16 billion in total since it began less than three years ago. On Facebook, people share 300 million images each day, or 100 billion photos a year.
WhatsApp, another messaging platform that allows people to share photos, videos, text or audio notes, processes more than 27 billion messages a day on the service. Vine, Twitters six-second video-sharing app, has signed up more than 13 million people since it began in January. And the new Instagram video service, introduced just two weeks ago, seems to be playing catch-up with its competitors by allowing people to share 15-second clips.
Investors are noticing. Last week, Snapchat said it had raised $60 million in financing, which brings its total financing to $73 million and values the company at $860 million. Twitter bought Vine, before it even was introduced, for an undisclosed sum. And dont forget that Facebook paid $1 billion for Instagram last year.
So isnt this all bad for society? Another hatchet toward the English language where children wont even bother to communicate in LOL-speak anymore?
Were tiptoeing into a potentially very deep and interesting new way of communicating, said Mitchell Stephens, author of The Rise of the Image, the Fall of the Word, and a journalism professor at New York University. And as with anything, when you tiptoe in, you start in the shallow waters.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

Something magical happens when you visit the Phoenix I on the Alabama Gulf Coast. The moment you arrive, the world starts to fade away.

Fox Barrel
Ginger & Blackcurrant
The best cider I have ever tasted! I've never had a pear cider before, it was nothing like I have ever tasted. Fox Barrel's unfiltered pear cider has a cloudy reddish hue at first pour. This spicy red pear cider is infused with ginger extract, blackcurrant juice and organic honey. It has an aroma of sweet pear. The flavor is a rich pear and ginger at first taste. There is just enough ginger bite without that ginger burn. The last few sips are even sweeter than the first.
Tip: Give a full bottoms up tilt & swirl to evenly disperse the unfiltered pear-wine sediment.
