Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies
Vol 21 (4 Issues in 2016)
Edited by: Edzard Ernst, Peninsula Medical School, UK
Print ISSN: 1465-3753 Online ISSN: 2042-7166
Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies (FACT) is a quarterly review journal that aims to present the evidence on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in an analytical and impartial manner.
With increasing interest and growing research into CAM there are dozens of specific complementary medicine journals and thousands of general medical journals that present articles and research findings in this area. Knowing it is impossible to scan all these publications, the FACT editorial team systematically searches the world literature to uncover articles and key papers in all fields of CAM research. The journal saves readers times by making it easier to keep abreast of all the new research data related to CAM.
Topics covered include:
- Herbal medicines
- Acupuncture
- Homeopathy
- Manipulative therapies
- Nutritional therapies
- Mind-body therapies
- Hypnotherapy
- Other CAM therapies
The most important factual papers are summarised and critically appraised in the form of an expert commentary written by a member of FACT's international editorial board. The author(s) of the original paper are invited to respond and their replies are also published when received. All summaries and commentaries are evidence-based, reporting clinical trials, systematic reviews or meta-analyses, compiling, interpreting and disseminating the up-to-date evidence for or against complementary medicine.
Each issue may include:
- Summaries and commentaries on key CAM areas
- Original articles that review the evidence for and against CAM in a particular therapeutic area
- Debate articles which present different or even opposing views to tease out the pros and contras in controversial areas
- A comprehensive compilation of recently published CAM literature
- Guest editorials
- Interviews of outstanding personalities in the field of CAM
- Book reviews and a list of new books
- Letters to the editor

Rabid bat found in Coeur d'Alene
(AP) Another rabid bat in northern Idaho has turned up, this time after one was caught by a Coeur d'Alene family's pet dog.
The Spokesman-Review reported Saturday the dog had been vaccinated, but that it will remain under observation for several weeks, just in case.
Previously, another rabid bat was found in Coeur d'Alene, while another was found in the hamlet of Spirit Lake just to the northwest earlier this spring.
One cat was exposed and is under watch.
Three people inside their home were possibly exposed to the disease while they were sleeping. They underwent a series of five painful shots each, to protect them from rabies.
Panhandle Health District officials reminded people not to handle bats and to make sure their pets' rabies vaccinations are up to date.

Phil Spector?
Chat Forum
guess which 70's music star was in the barbers chair before me yesterday
paul mccartney?
Went to a local nightclub to watch him back in the midst of time, his first song was In The Summertime which he somehow made last about ten minutes then he did a few crappy self penned tunes before doing some even crappier covers of other peoples songs (first set over thank fook)
His second set was the same as the first but in reverse order, only this time he seemed to make his main song last 15 minutes
He seemed a bit bewildered when the crowed started to jeer near the end and couldn't get out of there quick enough when he had finished
did he have an afro or a perm / mullet combo at that point ;-0
Keep guessing!

MAC Jeanius Collection: Biker Blue & Frayed to Order Nail Laquer
Frayed To Order: White matte with soft pink duochrome pearl
Biker Chick: Black base with purple and blue pearl
Frayed to Order
Biker Chick
Frayed to Order
Biker Chick (my finger looks so smashed squishy here haha awkward ring finger pictures ftw)
First of all, I love, love love Frayed to Order. I have never seen a matte polish that has a pearl in it, definitely unique. Even though I know it's matte, I really didn't like the way it looked without a topcoat (shown above with one) It had a satin finish because of the pearl. That being said, I still really liked it.
Biker Chick is pretty, but not entirely unique. I wouldn't have realized the base was black unless I read the product description, because it comes off as a dark blue.
These are available for $14 each from MAC Cosmetics on March 3rd.

So, you missed the rally that began since March 2009?
Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ), as of yesterday, closed at $24.31, a level last seen during March 2009, when markets were trading almost at the lowest level of the past decade. Will you buy it now?
In this post, I am going to share my value as well as technical investment take on this company. Finally, I shall also share some ideas on how options can be used to hedge and/or to lower your cost.
Value Take:
Based on my analysis using discount cash flow models, I think Hewlett Packard is undervalued. The selling pressure is driven by recent lackluster performance and uncertainty around the company's future. It is going through tough times and there is no clear direction emerging, which is further depressing stock value.
Let's dive into numbers. (Learn how to Value Stocks and for an example of a company that was later purchased.)
- Assuming 0% growth going forward, using last 10-year normalized average earnings of $2.07 (last 3 years is $3.38) my value target price comes to roughly $17.60, and assuming just 1.5% growth my derived intrinsic value is $23.80 vs. current share price of 24.30 which is just 0.4x sales and 1.2x book value. (Assumption 2.128 billion shares outstanding).
- If I take FY 2010-11, 8.1 billion owner's earnings* (approximated by free cash flow), use 0% growth and discounted using 10% Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), the intrinsic value is roughly $30. If there is any growth above 0, say same as expected US GDP of ~ 2% and discounted it using 10% WACC, the price can easily move to almost $37.
*What is Owner's earnings? It is Net Income + Depreciation + Amortization + One-time Savings - One time expenditures - Capital Expenditures.
- However, If you factor analysts' estimates of long term growth as ~4% and discount it using 10% WACC, share price intrinsic values jumps to $45+
- You could dress up the numbers as you like, but even after assuming 2 to 3% decline for the next 2-3 years followed by return of growth to roughly 2%, it will still give you a value higher than current prices.
Watch-out: It is not yet a bargain in traditional margin of safety context and Hewlett-Packard may just not sustain its competitive advantage going forward. It may also not be able to reinvent itself. It may see business decline continuously. Those are clearly risk factors associated with the purchase of stock. Value investing is done when almost all others are fearful. To overcome that fear, the key is to value correctly.
Above analysis is by no means the most accurate analysis of HP's value, but at least it points you towards an idea that's screaming for attention.
Technical Take-
Here is a 20 Year chart of the company. Currently it is trading below financial crisis levels and is quite close to a major support line.
Click to enlarge.
Click to enlarge
Source: Prophet charts.
Though there is a possibility that the price may undercut this trendline still, I personally would be a buyer around $20-$24 zone. I usually don't buy at a single price, and almost always scale into a position.
How could you use options to either hedge and/or lower your cost.
There are couple of ways to play this-
- One can buy shares and buy ATM puts to hedge it.
- One can by shares, buy ATM puts and sell OOM calls to finance purchase of puts to create bracket and limit the gains. Keep repeating it if HP either continues to rise or fall or till it hits your stop loss.
- One can sell naked puts, if assigned buy shares, sell puts again and write calls to make money from either side movement.
- One can buy simple straight ITM (or OOM) leap calls
- The options' possibilities are enormous, there are still many more ways to play bullish bias with defined risk and higher leverage (e.g. credit spreads, calendars, etc.)!!!
Bottom line: I will be a buyer as per the scenarios mentioned above.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in HPQ over the next 72 hours.

Now being a Brit I wasn't really exposed to his work as a kid like most have been America over the last 50 years: I only actually learned of and saw episodes of Gumby (a character much like our Morph, only Gumby has been around far, far longer.) on a trip to the Moving Image gallery in Queens, New York a few years back. They had an exhibit running of Gumby full of sets and character models as well as screening of some of the films and lots of old merchandise to see. I did write a bit about it right here on this very blog, but only showed you one photo from there. So it only seems fitting to show you the rest of the photos I took. Big times fans of the series who couldn't go to the exhibit might appreciate them at least. Some are a bit shakey though, sorry about that (click to enlarge).
From what little knowledge I have of the Gumby series, I believe all of the sets and models at this exhibit were from the Gumby movie that came out in 1995 (and can be found on Youtube).
On the exhibit they also had a quick demonstration with a guy showing how stop motion animation is done (naturally aimed at kids). The Gumby models they made and used were not quite as slick as the ones above, haha.
And look at all this merchandise! I'm still surprised this never made it over here, unless I'm mistaken and they did show it here once.
and this place even had the costume Eddie Murphy wore for his Gumby parody on Saturday Night Live!

By Dan King - Newcastle United Digital Editor
Newcastle are looking to complete a Barclays Under-18 Premier League double over Middlesbrough when the Teessiders arrive at Little Benton on Tuesday (kick-off 11am).
Dave Watson's Magpies were 2-0 winners at Boro's Rockliffe Park HQ last month thanks to goals from Joe Kerridge and Daniel Barlaser.
That was one of five wins in United's last six games at this level - the most recent coming on Saturday when Chelsea were beaten 3-2.
Alex Gilliead scored a brace against the Blues but he's away with England under-18s, who face Germany in a friendly on Wednesday, while a handful of Watson's regular players were involved for the under-21s in Monday's 0-0 draw with Manchester City.
However Rolando Aarons returns after a hamstring injury. The game is open to the public and admission is free.
The squad is: Rolando Aarons, Stefan Broccoli, Kyle Cameron, Ben Drennan, Liam Gibson, Macaulay Gillesphey, Tom Heardman, Jack Hunter, Joe Kerridge, Adam Laidler, Ryan McKinnon, Michael Newberry, Lewis Suddick, Liam Tatters, Jake Trodd, Freddie Woodman, Paul Woolston.

Developing asychronously
Why it works for Github, but maybe not for the rest of us
These days, it's not hard to find a Silicon Valley startup that claims, not so modestly, that it's changing the world. And while it's true that some startups are doing just that, the not-well-kept secret is that most of them aren't doing anything productive, much less profitable, but still somehow find ways to get funding. But one startup, Github, is unique: not only is it changing the world, but it's changing the way startups change the world. Github's about page claims it hosts over two million repositories, which include the likes of the Facebook SDKs, the popular JavaScript framework jQuery, and the open-source release of Doom 3. It was even the primary home to arguably the most important open-source project ever, the Linux kernel, when its usual home was compromised earlier this summer.
And while Github is making a huge difference in how people write, store and track their source code, it's also starting to affect how people develop software. This is an important distinction, and failing to optimize the processes and philosophies that you and your team take while developing software can lead to productivity losses just as severe as bad developers or bad bugs.

We recently finished up the latest major version of a project at work, a web application that allows our clients to view Facebook Page analytics that we generate and empower them to craft their future social media strategy. The project has seen a couple iterations, but for this one, in an effort to make the whole thing simpler, we reworked most of it from the ground up, including a brand new user interface.
But while CSS is a very powerful tool, this web app was going to require a lot of it, using features from every version of CSS. And while "graceful degradation" was our methodology to some degree, the last version of this product didn't support any browser except Chrome (because of time constraints) and it was made clear that this time, we would need to support all major browsers. This would mean hundreds of rules, nested rules, exceptions to rules, and fixes for The Browser That Shall Not Be Named.
So in an effort to simplify our CSS develop/test/deploy cycle, we decided to employ LESS, an extended CSS with support for nesting, variables, imports, and expressions.
Codenamed "The Experiment"
Welcome to the new Cleveland, Curveballs and Common Sense, codenamed "The Experiment"! Go ahead and take a look around, then come on back and I'll show you around.
Last year, around this time, I started thinking about redesigning my blog. I was working on implementing a WordPress theme from scratch at work; with Stephen Stanton (and his boss Josh Laney) providing the graphics and creative vision, all I had to do was write the code that powered a new WordPress site for our Chasing Trophy Whitetails brand. On my end, there were some neat technical things with the theme like an HTML5 image gallery and automatic generation of OpenGraph tags. It seemed pretty fun and pretty easy at the time, and so I quickly became eager to write a theme for my own blog and transfer some of that new knowledge over.
But it's not even close to that easy: it takes skill and talent to create and execute a WordPress theme design, and so I flustered for almost a year, coming up with various ideas but nothing good enough to make me want to switch.
A challenger appears
If you look on my company's team page, you'll find my picture captioned "Overrater". I take this caption somewhat in stride, because being involved in developing many of the analytic algorithms at our office means that I'm spending a lot of my days "rating" client's Facebook Pages and presences. The reason the caption is there though, is that I have a strong tendency to not be impressed with things most people seem to like ("Shark Week", "Avatar", "Top Gun", college football, to name a few) and call them overrated.
Which brings me to Google's new, much touted social network called, simply: Google Plus. Google+ isn't Google's first entry into the social arena, but it's their newest and inarguably their strongest. And while Google enjoyed excellent early reviews as well as an early influx of 10 million enthusiastic users, my impressions of Google+ are much less enthusiastic. My initial impressions of what's wrong with Google+, after the break.
Learn the code. Love the code. Be the code.
When I was born, my Uncle Jim (who has since passed away), who was a newspaper columnist, wrote me a letter welcoming me to the world and introducing me to my family. It was a neat idea (and a tradition I plan to continue), and in the letter, he predicted that because of my genetic makeup, I'd be an All-American, All-Academic starting linebacker for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
My parents, who probably read the letter the night it was written as opposed to discovering it buried in family photos years later, probably read the letter and chuckled. Given the fact that my parents are both computer programmers, I can imagine one of them saying, "there's no way that kid's not a programmer." (I'm not sure what this says about my sister, who will probably cure cancer one day but can't defragment a hard drive to save her life.)
And if one of them said that, they were right. I've been fascinated with computers since I was in elementary school, launched my first website back when Albert Belle was slugging home runs for the Indians, started writing programs in middle school, wrote a full web app in high school, and never looked back.
Well, kind of. Because there was definitely a time over a period of the last few months and years where my computer science knowledge stagnated, where my interest in the field was at a low point, and where I just felt burnt out. But lately I've felt that drive again, that addiction to building awesome things that only software engineering can deliver.
A bug by any other name
I ran across this post today on TechCrunch (er, sorry, I guess it was on MobileCrunch). For those uninterested in reading the full article, I'll speak a little bit about the bug, which has the potential to be very costly. Basically, the article states that when you're viewing a motion-JPEG (a video format based on JPEG photos – often found in digital cameras or security cameras) file in Safari on the iPhone and then closing Safari, the browser actually stays open. Mobile Safari will continue to use up bandwidth as it loads the motion-JPEG at the specified interval, and if you're on a pay-per-megabyte-downloaded plan, you could foot the bill for thousands of dollars.
The article kind of justifies this bug. After all, it states, it doesn't affect you if you're on an unlimited plan (because hey, if you have all that extra bandwidth, why not waste it?) and it only seems to occur if you're viewing a motion-JPEG (which isn't the most common file format, but it's not unused either). So, fine. It's a bug, it doesn't really affect a ton of people that greatly, oh well, right?
The first comment on the article:
How is this a bug?
The website refreshes…it's not apples fault the person would have a crazy bill, it's the user for not closing out the page.
And here's the real beauty of making an Apple product. No matter how bad it sucks, no matter what kind of problems it has, Apple users defend Apple products like they're defending their children. This attitude either stems from or causes Apple's ridiculous arrogance about its own products. (For an example, check out any of Apple's recent commercials for any of their products.)
I'll address the commercial first. Here's the thing. Apple's made a good operating system. It didn't happen overnight. If you think this operating system has been rock solid from day one, look again. If you remember, OS X only really started even getting stable at around 10.3, and it got good at around 10.4. The OS has been really a work in progress since 2001, and it's had its share of problems. That's not to mention Mac OS 9 and below, whose codebase was, for all intensive purposes, abandoned when the company was on the brink of bankruptcy in the late nineties. But that's an argument for another day.
Let's get one thing straight: when you close a program, it should close completely or give you some indication that it's still open: in OS X, an open program is a shiny light under the icon in your Dock, in Windows it appears in your taskbar or system tray, etc. Not only does Safari not give you any feedback that it's remaining open, it's the only application on the iPhone to do so. It's far from expected behavior, and when using an electronic device, users prefer devices that they can guess what's going to happen based on their actions.
If any users get a bill in the triple digits (in some cases, as noted in the article, over $3000 for an hour of unknown downloading), Apple should pay it themselves. This isn't user error. It's either by design (for whatever reason), or it's a bug. Apple should fix it.
WWW is the new blog
A couple of quick programming notes (related to the content of this site, not my actual programming. Actually I guess it is related to my actual programming. So forget I said this.):
- You may have noticed that blog.jimmysawczuk.com now redirects you here, to www.jimmysawczuk.com. I did this to create a more unified feel for my web presence, hopefully it's more helpful for what you're looking for. I'm still working on it, so let me know if you have suggestions or concerns.
- Because I moved some files around I needed to rebuild certain projects so that they could be downloaded from the server off the installer, so I rebuilt Invaders and George In Space!. If you haven't checked them out yet, you should – they're probably the two most useful programs I've ever made.
As always, thanks for your feedback, and above all, thanks for reading!
This post was originally written as a guest post for RyboMedia on October 15, 2009. Thanks to Rybo for letting me post this! Hope you all found it enjoyable and informative.
We ran into a problem at work last week that was, at the same time, a nightmare and exactly the kind of problem you want to have.
The culprit was our latest Big Prize Giveaways promotion, and the problem was that our app had metaphorically gone from 0-60 in about two seconds, and it experienced the same thing your neck feels when it accelerates that fast: whiplash.
UPDATE: Developing Socially
Just a quick post to let everyone who's interested know that I'll be giving a talk tomorrow at Refresh Columbia. More details can be found in this post, but I'll be talking about Facebook development and how it can impact your Facebook Page. I'll post some source code and my slides on this post once it's over. Hope to see you there!
UPDATE: Code and slides after the jump.
Two choices
I don't normally write about higher level software design for a couple of reasons. For one, I don't consider myself to be an expert in the field. I'm not sure there is any one expert in the field, actually; it's a little bit like saying there's an expert in string theory, a field that's less that fifty years old and every bit as complex as software design. However, I don't really consider myself above average at it either, and if I'm not above average at it, there's not usually anything I could say that you couldn't read somewhere else, better explained and more original.
The second reason I don't normally write about software design is that since most of my projects are small (projects at work are either designed in collaboration or already designed), I don't waste much time on design. Today I modified a GreaseMonkey script Mike wrote to remove ads from GrabUp posts; he wrote it because he was sick of looking at ads, I modified it because I was tired of the refresh caused by redirecting to the direct image. I didn't write out a vision and scope document, I didn't create a design document, I didn't diagram it – I just wrote it. Another example is my recent weekend project TooLongForTwitter.com. It's a little larger in scope, but rather than figuring out how everything was going to work beforehand by diagramming it out, designing a database, etc., I just started writing it and it all just kind of came together. Even back when I was writing McJournal, I had an idea in my head of how the final product would look but I never wrote it down anywhere, I just started writing.
Point is, it's pretty easy to skip that design process which can greatly influence the success of your product. As I thought about it this evening, I realized that all software products fall into two categories.
The first category are the applications that are designed not to suck. We all use software for many different purposes, but a lot of times, we're using it for work or productivity. Hence, products like Microsoft Office, Quicken, GMail, TextMate, etc. are designed as software that stays out of your way. Either it lets you perform tasks the way you want, or it gently nudges you once and then leaves you alone. Nothing is more annoying in this case than the application that's trying to do too much (Clippy: "It looks like you are writing a letter…" anyone?). Applications that are designed for productivity usually fall into this category, because normally you want to get your work done, then get off the computer and head out to the golf course. The key word with these types of applications is intuition: it should be intuitive for the user to use.
The other category is the applications that are designed to rock. As you might imagine, these are normally entertainment applications like video games or multimedia applications. These are applications that the user wants to use, applications that the user wants to learn, and applications where the user may want helpful tips. For example, take Halo 3. The game would have been a bestseller without adding a bunch of new weapons, a bunch of new gadgets and a bunch of new customization options in multiplayer mode, but because the game added those little features, it was smash hit and is still played today. Entertainment applications can't be simply functional to be successful; they've got to be immersive.
Ever wonder why Twitter is emerging as a more popular social networking tool for professionals and celebrities compared to Facebook? It's simple. Using it is as simple as sending an SMS message from your phone or typing 140 characters in one form field on the web. Want to share a link? No problem! Just copy and paste it in there and done. No captchas, no conversion to "shared items" like Facebook likes to do, just shows the URL and makes it a link.
On the other hand, Facebook is complex enough already, and it's gotten more confusing for the average user over the years. Over the last couple of months I've had the pleasure of introducing my dad and my aunt to Facebook (seriously, Mark, I'm fighting for you here, how about throwing some of that money my way?) and I've seen the site through new eyes: even with the wizards, hints, etc., a cautious user may feel overwhelmed when visiting the site for the first time. Facebook realizes this, that's why they're rushing out Facebook Lite to their 250 million users. Interacting with friends, profiles, streams and comments is hard enough; adding Pages and Ads to the equation makes it even more confusing. Thus, professional users or less computer-savvy users are using Twitter for their business communication.
Another example is in web browsers. As many of you may know, Internet Explorer 6 is still alive and kicking on the web. As someone who has faced a ton of IE 6 errors and quirks, I am definitely in favor of getting this browser out of circulation. But generally, people are using IE 6 for one of two reasons: a) it's an office requirement, or b) it works for checking e-mail, news, etc. and that's all it's needed for. For these users, a browser is a productivity application, not an entertainment application, and IE 6 (unbelievably) "doesn't suck" too much for them and it requires zero installing, configuring or tweaking to get up and running.
On the other side of the spectrum, Firefox is more of an entertainment browser. Clearly, users use it for productive purposes too, but it's clear that Firefox is used as an application that rocks rather than an application that doesn't suck: tabbed browsing, add-ons, and a prettier interface are just a few of the reasons younger users tend to use Firefox.
I guess the point of all this is, next time you're writing an application, no matter how big or small, ask yourself the following question: do I want my application to rock or not suck, or better yet, do my users want my application to rock or not suck? Hopefully it helps you iron out your feature list and make it one that your users will expect.

June Oblinger Shott Center for Extended Learning
Located in facilities on the second floor of the Ned E. Shott Physical Education Building, the June Oblinger Shott Center for Extended Learning, a part of the Instructional Technology Center, provides a much needed link for learners unable to attend classes at Bluefield State College's main campus.
From the electronic distance learning classrooms, students and instructors on the Bluefield campus can interact with their counterparts in Beckley and Lewisburg. An entire audiovisual suite with document camera, PC computer, videocassette recorder, and DVD player are available at the instructor's fingertips. A second classroom, just down the hall, can serve as an overflow area for the main classroom, an independent classroom for additional telecourses, a video conference room, or simply as a traditional classroom.
The Center also features a more traditional television studio with full digital production and editing systems, as well as the Newtek Video Toaster, used by many major studios, and considered one of the most advanced pieces of equipment available for small-studio television production.
In addition to its classroom services, the Center is also the home of Bluefield State College's many community service television programs. Among the programs produced regularly and aired over Comcast Cable channel 96 are the Bluefield Board of Directors meetings, and "The Bluefield State College Spotlight", a regular series featuring items of public interest originating at Bluefield State College. Other programs of community interest are taped and scheduled for broadcast on an "as needed" basis. The Center is also the home of BSC Internet radio which produces radio shows available from the BSC website home page.
Print media design services are also available through the Center. A high quality color scanner in conjunction with a Macintosh PC and many of the most popular production programs provide outputs in high-resolution black and white laser print, color inkjet print, or encapsulated PostScript for service bureaus.
The BSC videotape collection and CD collection are housed in the Center and are available for faculty checkout and student use in-house.
- The Instructional Technology Center, including Self-Study and Production areas, is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00am to 9:00pm and Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm during the Fall and Spring Semesters.
- Weekend hours are sometimes arranged, but are not a part of the regular schedule.
- Hours for the Center for Extended Learning are the same, unless otherwise posted.
Programs and Courses
Bluefield State College offers many courses by distance learning modalities which meet the requirements for the Regents Bachelor of Arts degree. Please e-mail Bill Bennett at email@example.com to determine whether a BSC distance learning course is right for you.
Distance learning at BSC is offered by two primary delivery modalities: the BSC Interactive
Video Network (IVN); and Moodle and Blackboard. Most courses use one of these primary delivery modalities, but many of the courses combine one or more of the modalities with a Web component, a print component, and/or an e-mail component.
BSC Interactive Video Network (ITV) consists of electronic classrooms at campuses in Bluefield, Beckley, Lewisburg, and other sites. Faculty originate courses from one site to other sites. Students enroll in available courses at the nearest site to them which reduces travel time for the student and enables them access to courses which would not normally be available to them.
Online courses are offered through 2 different means: 1)Blackboard and 2)Moodle. Blackboard and Moodle are Learning Management Systems (LMS) that enables courses to be delivered online through easy-to-use teaching tools, leaning tools, and course management tools.
For more information please contact Audrey Biggs or Cody Chambers.
Equipment and materials are checked out to the faculty for periods of one week.
Students are allowed to use equipment and materials in the ITC or CEL only.
Members of the community are sometimes allowed to check out equipment and materials, but must be willing to accept financial responsibility for any losses or damages to equipment or materials in their possession.
Permission to check out equipment and materials by persons outside the college can only be obtained through the Director.

Today we are accustomed to seeing religious women – nuns – at work in almost every area of public life. We have quite forgotten that until not so long ago, the cloister and physical seclusion was the only way for women to live their devotion.
If so much has changed, it is largely because of pioneering women like Angela Merici, the 15th century founder of the Ursuline Order, the first group of women in the Church to be devoted to the teaching of the young.
Angela was born in north Italy in poor circumstances. She combined an intense piety with a strong desire to be of service, specially to the sick and to the young, and she joined the Third Order of St Francis, a lay group with Franciscan inspiration.
However even while barely 20, her conviction grew that she was meant to start a group of women to take care of the instruction of the young, and so restore family life; and through the family, all society. But it was almost thirty years before she could realize this dream. In 1525, along with 28 other women, she started the 'company of St Ursula' at Brescia, and pledged herself and her group to the teaching of the young, and the care of the sick and prisoners.
Angela Merici did not long survive her foundation, but the Ursulines increased in strength and numbers, and their influence on the education of women has been seen wherever the Church is found.

Understanding XML Schemas
Editor's note: since the publication of this article the W3C has made significant progress on the XML Schema specification. For an updated reference please see Using W3C XML Schema, published on XML.com November 29, 2000.
|W3C's Schema Working Draft
6 May 1999
The Schema WD is published in two parts: Part 1: Structures and Part 2: Datatypes (more about each of these in a moment). Note, however, that the WG begins each of these documents with the forthright statement that they are expected to change in substantial ways. At this stage in the game, what's important is to understand the goals and motivations for XML Schemas. Don't sweat the details.
In May, the XML Schema Working Group (WG) published its first Working Draft (WD). Schemas will have a broad impact on the future of XML for two reasons: first because they will define what it means for an XML document to be valid and second because they are a radical departure from Document Type Definitions (DTDs), the existing schema mechanism inherited from SGML.
In this article, I'll explore what schemas are, what validity means, how schemas differ from DTDs, and what new functionality will be gained from adopting them. I'll be using the XML Schemas WD from 6 May 1999 to frame the discussion and as the source for concrete examples.
The following sections cover specific topics in more detail. The sections are independent, so you can read them in whatever order suits you.

Giant Devil Frog Poses Questions
Contributing Monkie G Living Staff Monkies
Published on February 26, 2008
Filed Under G Living, Nature / Non Human Stories
While the thought of an antagonistic beach ball-sized frog terrifies me — even as a fossil — scientists working in Madagascar are thrilled with the possible clues it provides to back up long held suspicions of ancient planetary shifts>.
Bits of the 70-million-year-old remains were first discovered over ten years ago. Over time, paleontologists were able to locate and piece together what appears to be a frog measuring a whopping 16 inches high and weighing approximately 10 pounds. Named Beelzebufo ("devil frog"), it is believed to be the largest frog species the planet has ever seen and is genetically linked to modern day South American big-mouthed frogs known as ceratophyrines (from the genus ceratophrys) or "Pac-Man" frogs.
Like its South American relatives — which are known for their aggressive, ambush-like behavior — the fossilized frog was round with a large mouth but also "sported a protective shield and powerful jaws" that scientists believe "may have enabled it to kill hatchling dinosaurs."
But the big question is: how on earth did the species evolve from the coast of Africa to South America?
It's long been thought that present day Madagascar was once connected to Africa as part of a supercontinent known as Gondwana, which broke free over 88 million years ago. But, according to National Geographic, scientists now believe the remains of Beelzebufo may "provide proof of a later physical link between South America and Madagascar, most likely through a connection with Antarctica."
Scientists believe it will take the unearthing of more fossils to prove or disprove this theory. Until then, try not to think about the giant frog from hell while falling asleep…

Education Credit - Form 8863
There are two tax credits available to individuals who pay expenses for higher (post-secondary) education. They are: * The American Opportunity Credit, and * The Lifetime Learning Credit Can you claim more than one education credit this year? For each student, you can choose for any year only one of the credits. For example, if you choose to take the American Opportunity Credit for a child on your 2016 tax return, you cannot, for that same child, also claim the Lifetime Learning credit for 2016. If you are eligible to claim the American Opportunity Credit and you are also eligible to claim the Lifetime Learning Credit for the same student in the same year, you can choose to claim either credit, but not both. * Based on the information in your return, our program will recommend the better of the two education credits. If you pay qualified education expenses for more than one student in the same year, you can choose to take the American Opportunity and the Lifetime Learning credits on a per-student, per-year basis. This means you can claim the American Opportunity Credit for one student and the Lifetime Learning Credit for another student in the same year. Who Can Claim an Education Credit? You may be able to claim an education credit if you, your spouse, or a dependent you claim on your tax return was a student enrolled at or attending an eligible educational institution. The credits are based on the amount of qualified education expenses paid for the student in 2016 for academic periods beginning in 2016 and in the first 3 months of 2017. For example, if you paid $1,500 in December 2016 for qualified tuition for the spring 2017 semester beginning in January 2017, you may be able to use that $1,500 in figuring your 2016 education credit(s). Academic period: An academic period includes a semester, trimester, quarter, or other period of study (such as a summer school session) as reasonably determined by an educational institution. In the case of an educational institution that uses credit hours or clock hours and does not have academic terms, each payment period can be treated as an academic period. Eligible educational institution: An eligible educational institution is any college, university, vocational school, or other post-secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. It includes virtually all accredited public, nonprofit, and proprietary (privately owned profit-making) post-secondary institutions. The educational institution should be able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution. Certain educational institutions located outside the United States also participate in the U.S. Department of Education's Federal Student Aid (FSA) programs. Who can claim a dependent's expenses: Generally, qualified education expenses paid on behalf of the student by someone other than the student (such as a relative) are treated as paid by the student. However, qualified education expenses paid (or treated as paid) by a student who is claimed as a dependent on your tax return are treated as paid by you. Therefore, you are treated as having paid expenses that were paid from your dependent student's earnings, gifts, inheritances, savings, etc. If a student is claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return, only the person who claims the student as a dependent can claim a credit for the student's qualified education expenses. If a student is not claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return, only the student can claim a credit. What is covered? The tuition and fees deduction is based on qualified education expenses you pay for yourself, your spouse, or a dependent you claim an exemption for on your tax return. Generally, the deduction is allowed for qualified education expenses paid in 2016 in connection with enrollment at an institution of higher education during 2016 or for an academic period beginning in 2016 or in the first 3 months of 2017. For purposes of the tuition and fees deduction, qualified education expenses are tuition and certain related expenses required for enrollment or attendance at an eligible educational institution. Who cannot claim a credit? You cannot take an education credit if any of the following apply: * You are claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return, such as your parent's return. * Your filing status is married filing separately. * You (or your spouse) were a nonresident alien for any part of 2016 and did not elect to be treated as a resident alien for tax purposes. * Your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is one of the following: American opportunity credit : $180,000 or more if married filing jointly, or $90,000 or more if single, head of household, or qualifying widow(er). Lifetime learning credit : $130,000 or more if married filing jointly, or $65,000 or more if single, head of household, or qualifying widow(er). How do I enter this into my TaxSlayer account? To enter the education credit into your TaxSlayer account, Log in and go to the Federal Section > Deductions > Enter Myself > Credits Menu > Education Credits.

Ya know, Ive never had a real good sex partner. Every girl I have ever fucked just played as a 'receiver.' Sad really. Some have tried doing some things, just it was shit like moving back onto my dick as I thrusted into her. I have NEVER been riden like a champ.
There was one good time I had with a girl, but I must say it was more me than her. This was the only time I fucked like a porn star in one good round. But then again she had incredible tits and that I just couldnt fuck without fucking properly.

no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts

A typo has been found in the finnix-hwsubmit program (included in finnix-scripts) that prevents the output of "lspci -vvn" from being included with the report. If you use finnix-hwsubmit (and if not, why aren't you?), you will want to do an "apt-get update" and "apt-get install finnix-scripts" before submitting.
Additionally, a small package called finnix-3ware-install has been released. At work, we have a great number of machines with 3ware SATA RAID controllers in them, and using the 3ware CLI management program (tw_cli) can be handy. Unfortunately, the CLI is binary-only and closed-source[0x01], so it cannot be directly distributed with Finnix. Instead, I have created a script (that comes in the finnix-3ware-install package) that shows you the 3ware EULA, then downloads and installs it automatically. If you want to use this package, "apt-get update", then "apt-get install finnix-3ware-install". Enjoy!
[0x01] Why? 3ware's drivers are GPL, and the 3ware developers work with the kernel.org people so the drivers included with vanilla Linux kernels are usually identical to the version that 3ware distributes itself. However, the array management tools are closed-source.

Land Board Commits More Than $16 Million in Energy Impact Grants for Hub Cities in Oil Country
BISMARCK, N.D. – The Board of University and School Lands (Land Board) today committed an additional $16,788,859 in Energy Impact Grants for Williston, Dickinson and Minot to help address infrastructure needs stemming from the rapid oil and gas development in western North Dakota. The grants were allocated from Oil and Gas Impact Funds earmarked for incorporated cities with a population of 10,000 or more.
The Land Board committed grant awards in the amount of $9,593,634 for the City of Williston, $5,796,817 for the City of Dickinson, and $1,398,408 for the City of Minot. The funding will be used to build or expand community-owned infrastructure that will support the future development of permanent housing in communities throughout western North Dakota, including water and sewer extensions, road enhancements and public works improvements. The funding committed today to Williston, Dickinson and Minot is in addition to $21 million in Energy Impact Grants already provided to the three hub cities.
"These state grants are an important part of our on-going work to help communities meet the impacts created by rapid development," Gov. Dalrymple said. "At the same time, the state Department of Transportation will stick to aggressive timelines for many other road improvement projects and other infrastructure upgrades throughout western North Dakota during the current construction season."
Dalrymple is chairman of the five-member state Land Board. Other board members are: Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, Secretary of State Al Jaeger, Superintendent of Public Instruction Wayne Sanstead and Treasurer Kelly Schmidt.
Following Dalrymple's recommendation, the Legislature enhanced the Oil and Gas Impact Fund and appropriated $135 million for the 2011-13 biennium to offset direct energy impacts in the state's oil and gas counties. So far, the state has awarded about $95 million for critical infrastructure upgrades, emergency service enhancements, rapid school enrollments and other needs. About $25 million in additional grant funding will be allocated this summer.
In all, the state has committed $1.2 billion to help meet needs in the Oil Patch during the 2011-2013 biennium. More than $500 million has flowed into North Dakota's oil-producing counties to fund roadway projects, to enhance emergency services, to help address rapid school enrollment and to meet other needs. The majority of state funding, about $685 million, remains to be distributed. More than $400 million will be spent this construction season to address energy impacts.
In other action Thursday, the Land Board also awarded $2.6 million in state Flood Impact Grants to help political subdivisions within Renville, Ramsey, Benson and McHenry counties cover the costs of repairing flood-related damages to public infrastructure. In April, the Land Board awarded $25 million in state flood impact grants to help cover the cost of major flood damages in nine counties. The Legislature, during its 2011 special session, appropriated $30 million to help counties, cities and other political subdivisions repair major flood-related damages not eligible through other government sources or insurance.
Members of the Land Board also discussed the possibility of creating a state program to support the development of additional child day care services in the state's Oil Patch. The Land Board discussed the possibility of creating a matching grant program to assist in the purchase of "turn-key" modular facilities for licensed group daycare providers.

Prevention research over the past decades has underscored the importance of strategically using data to inform efforts to reduce problems related to substance use and mental, emotional and behavioral health (MEB). The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (SAMHSA/CSAP) has funded State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroups (SEOWs) to assist states, jurisdictions, tribal entities and communities to adopt and implement the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF). In Oregon, the SEOW is funded through the SPF-State Incentive Grant, to facilitate the use data in policy making and program development for adverse behavioral health (Addiction and mental health) prevention.
SEOW is a network of people that bring analytical and other data competencies to prevention. Their mission is to integrate data about the nature and distribution of substance use and MEB disorders and related consequences into ongoing assessment, planning, and monitoring decisions at state and community levels. The overall goal for SEOW is to use data to inform and enhance state and community decisions regarding substance use and MEB disorder prevention programs, practices, and policies, as well as promote positive behavioral and mental health over the lifespan. SEOW is guided by the steps of SAMHSA's SPF.
The information on this web page has been compiled by the State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup, financed by the Strategic prevention Framework State Incentive Grant. Each link included in this web page leads to databases that are highly useful in the field of Behavioral Health (Mental Health and Addiction): for the purpose of community health assessments, prevention program planning, policy planning, understanding the trends and prevalence of various behavioral health issues in the state of Oregon and comparison to other states or the nation. Fact sheets and other relevant documents and information is regularly updated on this web page based on current population interests and issues, so that prevention professionals, public health professionals, researchers and the public, can gather a comprehensive and precise understanding of the behavioral health risk factors and consequences in the state of Oregon, for all age groups, races, genders, communities etc.

As hoped for on auction day, Canada's smallest macro, Sleeman Breweries of Guelph here in Ontario has found a buyer from Japan:
Japan's Sapporo Breweries Ltd. plans to keep open all of Sleeman Breweries Ltd.'s operations and will retain John Sleeman as head of the company as part of a $306-million takeover offer unveiled last week. "John Sleeman appears to have a job for the future and as long as Sapporo wants me, I'll be here," said Mr. Sleeman, the company's chairman and chief executive officer, on a conference call yesterday. Mr. Sleeman, who founded the Guelph, Ont., beer maker in 1988, added: "I expect to be here for quite some time." Sapporo is offering $17.50 a share for Canada's third-largest brewer and has won the support of the company's board as well as Mr. Sleeman, who has committed to tendering his approximately 4.5-per-cent ownership stake to the all-cash bid.Cash is good and 4.5% x 300 million is a pretty good return for a guy who built up the brewery from a dream he had when he ran his bar. In that respect this is a success story. But listening to one of the interviews and reports on the transaction, it is a little sad to note that no one is recognizing that there were a few factors that created the strain forcing the sale. The only one cited is the buck-a-beer discount phenomena. No one is discussing the move into the US which has not apparently gone well as Sleeman is placing its product next to quality micros and coming up short. No one is mentioning the challenge of buying up any number of larger micros across Canada and whether that project played out well. And no one is asking whether what is in the bottle is the issue. The way Sleeman is talked about you would think you were dealing with innovators like Dogfish Head or masters of quality like Brooklyn Brewery or even a micro brewery.
In any event, it will be interesting to watch Sapporo to see what improvements or changes it can bring to the situation. It is good to see that the plan appears to be keeping the workforce in place and building upon what has been achieved to date.

CastilloVery nice shifters, very smooth and accurate shifting
Bill TaylorA big difference from the 6600 with routing under the handlebar tape for both brake and shifter cables. Comfortable hoods for climbing. Good indexing for shifting..
D. WrightThese look great on the new build. . . I'll never make the Tour but at least I'll shift like I do!
Mr GaylorGreat product. Super light qnd responsive! Highly recommended
JRIt was WAY past time to upgrade my old Dura Ace 7800 STI levers. Can't believe how different these are. Work so much better, smoother. Merlin cycles delivered these quickly, in perfect condition. Thank you.
Mr KebaletsweI ordered these shifters to replace my 105 which got damaged when I came off on a wet day and I got to say they've transformed my ride. The 105's worked fine but these are miles better. They came with shifter spacers, cables and cable crimps. I love the fact that Merlin always deliver what they advertised and I will always use them for my bike orders and I highly recommend them. That next day delivery is so good.
Mr GlessnerGlad I could find these for a reasonable price. Massive upgrade over 105 (5600).
Mr KeiserVery good ergonomics, very light touch for both front and rear derailleur shifting, excellent brake modulation even w/o Shimano calipers, I would rate them as 5 stars
Mr Cotterless Crank CollinsMerlin's Shimano Ultegra 6700 STI Levers are rugged, precise, reliable, and light weight. I own 6600 STI levers which are great and these, the 6700, are an improvement. Thanks Merlin.
Mr watanabe6700 is quite good quality, I prefer this more than 7900 duraace. Especially, much cheaper!!! But the quality is almost same with it!!!
Mr BowmerUpgraded my cross bike from SRAM Apex to Ultegra - so much crisper changes
Mr DakinSuperb value - better by far than 105 levers.
m4sworksMerlin offers the best price on Shimano components. I have ridden Dura-Ace and Ultegra, and for the money you can not beat Ultegra level of performance quality, especially in shifting which is where you need the most feel in a component.
Mr DawsonI bought these to upgrade my old dura ace levers on my winter bike. They are lighter, work just as well and tidy up the cables. Got a great price on these from Merlin and they work as good as the 7900 dura ace I have on my racing bike. Sure there is a slight weight penalty v the 7900 dura ace levers but it's difficult to detect. Great product, especially at Merlin prices and their service was fantastic. Thanks!
Mr DaviesWhy buy Dura Ace? These levers are outstanding. Smooth and Responsive.
Mr HeatherlyAn excellent product. Having upgraded from the 105 group set, I have found the 'Ultegra' group better in all departments . It's just more precise, smoother and a definite improvement.
Mr MorelandGreat performance, replaced my worn out Dura Ace 7800 shifters, just as good. Cables under bar tape an improvement. Highly recommended
Mr ShardlowWorth spending the money for the upgrade from 105 to Ultegra, Levers are smoother shifting action with more ergonomical feel to the hoods and level side shift/pull.
Mr NewboldGreat product, big improvement over the older type of shifter
Mr WarnerGreat feel to these shifters after a few years of riding Sram. Smooth shifting, great braking modulation, cannot fault.
Mr priceGreat blend of quality and value, smooth, precise and consistent. Well worth the investment if your frame is up to the same mark
Mr O'ConnorUpgraded from Ultegra SL. Very pleased with quality and overall design. Little bit of work to install but clear instructions. Great product.
Mr turnerExcellent Levers that look great. Braking with these levers is sharp and reassuring. The shifting is easy and precise. I found the cables where easy to fit and guide through the shifters.
MHInternal rattle in right side lever a little disappointing but, that apart, works beautifully.
Steve RGreat product at the cheapest price. Vast improvement on my old levers. Delivery was so quick that I had them on my bike less than 24 hours after I ordered them! First class service.
Mr KingGreatly improved ergonomics and faultless shifting.
TimRequired a new set of shifters after an incident with an impatient motorist. Upgraded from the a set of 6600 shifters. These definitely provide a much cleaner front end appearance and a much cleaner shifting experience.
Mr TajimaAs always excellent service an delivery and a great buy
JohnnyUpgraded to Ultegra from 105 (5600 series) most pleasing for me is the hood design I find it much more comfy,shifting is precise and quick and with all the cables under the bar tape does tidy the front end of the bike.
