WILLIAMSTOWN, MA — Williams defenders Antonia Clark and Lizzie Burns created a key turnover in the final minute of play Sunday to allow the Williams College women's lacrosse team to stave off a furious Union rally and post a 9-7 non-conference victory at Renzie Lamb Field.
The Ephs improved to 5-2 with the win, while Union slipped to
2-2. Williams hosts conference rival Connecticut College Wednesday
at 4:30 p.m.
Williams had taken a 3-2 halftime lead and built that to an 8-4 advantage with eight minutes to play, but the visiting Dutchwomen scored three consecutive goals in a one minute, 53-second span. Kellin Skurek's goal off an assist from Melissa Hine with 5:51 remaining made it an 8-7 game.
Union had one last chance to tie in the final minue, but Clark and Burns surrounded a Union attack and forced the ball loose. A quick pick-up of the groundball by Quinn Bruggemann led to first-year Margie Fulton's third goal of the game with 32 seconds remaining.
Union's Allie Cuozzo scored in the first minute of the game, flying out from behind the Williams goal and firing a shot past Eph goalie Julia Schreiber. But Williams was able to possess the ball much of the half and scored three straight goals, one each from Alice Nelson, Britt Spackman and Tracey Ferriter, to build a two-goal lead.
The Dutchwomen's second goal came with only 6.1 seconds left in the first half, courtesy of Hine, but it gave them momentum entering the halftime break down just one.
However, it was the Ephs who struck first in the second half, as Spackman fired a shot past Union keeper Cat Ruggiero. Anne Marie Burke then took a pass from Julia Nawrocki and flipped a quick shot into the net for a 5-2 lead just 1:42 into the half.
Union pressed closer with goals by Kristin Joyce and Cuozzo that made it 5-4, but after a timeout, the Ephs regained their composure. Fulton scored her first goal of the game with 17:47 left, batting in a rebound from in front of the Union goal. First-year Taylor Fleishhacker then scored off a Spackman assist and Fulton scored again, also from Spackman, to make it 8-4 with 11:31 to go.
The Ephs outshot Union, 30-21, in the game, and held a 27-22 advantage in groundballs. Fulton had three goals and an assist for Williams while Spackman finished with two goals and three assists. Hine had two goals and two assists for Union, and Cuozzo scored twice.
Ruggiero made 12 saves for Union, Schreiber had seven for Williams.

As much as it can be, the inaugural report of the recently-rebranded The New Zealand Initiative is relatively free of overt ideology.
Formed last year as a blend of lobby groups the Business Roundtable and New Zealand Institute, the NZ Initiative (NZI) describes itself as "an association of business leaders that is also a research institute".
"And we believe that these are not contradictions," the NZI website says.
But don't expect hypothesis-testing scientific neutrality from the NZI either: this is research from a particular point of view.
Nevertheless, the group's first release, titled 'New Zealand's global links: foreign ownership and the status of New Zealand's net international investment', is mainly about the numbers.
The report compiles an impressive range of data with the aim, as NZI chief Oliver Hartwich says in the introduction, of illuminating "the state of New Zealand's integration into the global economy".
Essentially, the study, authored by NZI senior fellow and principal of consultancy firm Capital Economics, Bryce Wilkinson, is intended to hose down concerns about foreign capital in general, while also debunking current specific worries that the Chinese are buying New Zealand holus-bolus.
When, in fact, the NZI report says "it is the Australians who have been taking over New Zealand at the margin".
"At 31 March 2001, Australians owned 31.5% of the FDI [foreign direct investment] stock in New Zealand," the study says. "By 31 March 2012, it was 55.8%. Meanwhile, the share owned by ASEAN countries only rose from 1.9% in 2001 to 3.1% in 2012."
There is more to the report than that and its 112 pages is full of interesting numbers that I couldn't absorb in a morning, or probably a lifetime.
But one point of interest in the research, picked up by other media, is the finding that New Zealanders are actually not too bad at saving - contrary to received wisdom.
"In fact, NZ resident units overall customarily spend less than they earn," the NZI report says. "On the latest available estimates, national saving has been positive for 38 of the 41 years between 1972 and 2012, the exceptions being 1992, 1993 and 2009."
And while it doesn't mention it by name, the study puts a dampener on the higher economic goals often attributed to KiwiSaver.
"Policies aimed at raising the savings rate as an objective in its own right may also produce disappointing results in terms of competitiveness and productivity growth," the report says.
Indeed, the NZI study - whose members include ANZ and Westpac - is pretty ambiguous about the whole savings ethos.
"Certainly, if NZ resident units saved more and invested the same amount more wisely, they could enjoy higher future consumption than otherwise, other things being equal," the report says. "But it does not follow that they would regard the forgone consumption initially as a sacrifice worth making."
The NZI alternatives to saving are not surprising: higher productivity; reduce "wasteful spending".

theres 3 bolts in the back of the tailgate its self there torq bits and once loose you take the plastic bucket out and carefully pull out the handle and pop out the rods that are to the latches on the side care full not to drop em or you will be fishing for a few minutes to get em out http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cd/full.aspx?Page=25 theres a basic layout of how it sets in the tailgate
why are you wanting to take the handle out? just replacing it or are you going to shave it and make a smooth tailgate?
i have a 95 and my handle barely works now like it doesnt unlach till the very last couple of cm when i pull it out and when i close it half the time it doesnt latch on, thats what happening to you?
Chevy truck parts
I would lube up the linkage behind the plate on the tailgate and on rach end of the tail gate latches too. need to use the white lithium grease on those latches so it will stay on there.

Two months after sending the Prime Minister an invitation to meet the Dalai Lama, organisers of the Buddhist leader's New Zealand visit say they have not received a response.
The 73-year-old exiled Tibetan spiritual leader is scheduled to be in Auckland on December 6, where he will speak at the Vector Arena.
Mr Key said before last year's election that he would meet the Dalai Lama as Prime Minister.
But his spokesman told the Herald that "a decision is yet to be made on this invitation".
"I hope John Key's decision to wait till the last minute is because of his busy schedule, and nothing to do with fear of harming relations with China," said Thuten Kesang, chairman of the Dalai Lama Visit Trust.
China regards the Dalai Lama as a separatist and is opposed to any world leaders meeting him.
The United Chinese Association of New Zealand - an umbrella group representing 28 local Chinese organisations - wrote to Mr Key in April asking the Government not to grant him a visa.
The Dalai Lama fled to India 50 years ago when China crushed an uprising in Tibet.
A decision by United States President Barack Obama to postpone his first meeting as President with the Dalai Lama is overshadowing a visit to Washington this week by the exiled leader.
The Dalai Lama arrived on Monday in Washington and will be received by prominent politicians.
But the focus for many in China, Tibet and the United States is the President's decision not to meet the Dalai Lama until after he visits Chinese President Hu Jintao in Beijing next month.
This week's trip comes at a delicate time for a new US administration looking to improve relations with Beijing and win Chinese support for crucial foreign policy, economic and environmental goals.
The Dalai Lama's visit to Canada last weekend was met with protests from dozens of Chinese Canadians and Chinese students calling him a "hypocrite" and a "liar", said to China's Xinhua news agency.
Friends of Tibet New Zealand last week issued two postage stamps depicting the Tibetan flag to mark 50 years of "illegal occupation" of Tibet by China.
Mr Kesang says he will be keeping a close eye on the visit of exiled Uighur leader Rebiya Kadeer next week, to see what sort of reception and reaction she receives in Auckland.
China considers Ms Kadeer a terrorist and is also opposed to any foreign countries giving her a platform to engage in anti-China separatist activities.
Mr Key said on Monday that the decision to issue Ms Kadeer a visa rested with Immigration Minister Jonathan Coleman, and Green MP Keith Locke said yesterday thathe had written to Dr Coleman detailing Ms Kadeer's itinerary inAuckland.
"By and large, the Uighurs and us Tibetans are in the same pot of soup," Mr Kesang said. "The people are still suffering under the oppressive communist regime.
"After five decades, Tibetans continue to be denied the basic right to freely express their identity and practise their religious and cultural traditions."

ATLANTA — Georgia State University's Model United Nations Team can now add "International Award Winners" to its bio.
Eighteen students from the Model United Nations team traveled to their first overseas conference in Manavgat, Turkey, on March 5-9. Thirteen students won awards for their work representing countries, including Russia, the Republic of Cape Verde and Turkey.
"This level of success makes us proud to represent GSU as a university, which is making so many strides each and every day to be so successful and resourceful," said Raya Siddiqi, head delegate for the GSU Model UN Team. "To be so successful abroad got me very excited to see all the hard work the delegates put forth paid off and that we are continuing to uphold the level of excellence and legacy of our program."
To prepare for the trip to Turkey, the team spent long hours studying each country's history, profiles and foreign policies. Each student also had to submit a position paper to attend the conference. "I think a lot of the delegates on my team thoroughly enjoyed representing Turkey in Turkey," Siddiqi said. "It was a great experience as a majority of the other delegates in their respective committees were of Turkish backgrounds who were really excited to hear and see how Georgia State represented their country of origin."
Siddiqi represented Russia in the General Assembly Third committee, which deals with social, humanitarian and cultural issues.
"It was interesting to hear about the different perspectives delegates in my committee had on the issues we had up for debate such as discrimination based on race, gender and religion, which is an issue every country has something to offer dialogue over," she said.
In April, the team will represent Russia at the National Model UN conference in New York.
The winners are:
For representing Turkey:
Zain Malik – Outstanding Delegate, UN General Assembly 1st Committee
Sofia Siraj – Outstanding Delegate Awards, UN General Assembly 3rd Committee
Kimmia Salehi – Outstanding Delegate Awards, UN General Assembly 6th Committee
Carrie Iacomini – Outstanding Delegate Awards, World Health Organization
Jennifer Breedon – Outstanding Delegate Awards, UN Security Council
Fahad Chowdhury – Outstanding Delegate Awards, Future NATO
Katherine Van Marter – Honorable Mention, G-20 Summit
For representing Russia:
Sarah Casiano – Outstanding Delegate UN, General Assembly 4th Committee
James Leung – Outstanding Delegate, World Health Organization
Rania Renno – Honorable Mention, UN General Assembly 6th Committee
Scott Leavitt – Honorable Mention, Historical UN Security Council
For representing the Republic of Cape Verde:

This is what I think is the STARTSWITH UDF and a related unit test. Hope this is in the right format, etc.?
First attempt at the patch.
Moved test code into TestStringUDFs and added Schema mapping for string datatypes to STARTSWITH UDF.
Thanks for the great hackday!
My IDE was messing with existing whitespace, reposting patch...sorry!
Hi Eli, thanks for the patch.
A few comments.
To properly handle the exception you should use warn.
warn("Error message " + e.getMessage(), PigWarning.UDF_WARNING_1);
You should also override outputSchema.
@Override public Schema outputSchema(Schema input) { return new Schema(new Schema.FieldSchema(null, DataType.BOOLEAN)); }
You should check for null also "argument" and "testAgaints".
All the rest looks good.
I will commit once these issues have been addressed.
Is this on the right track? Thanks again
Committed to trunk.
Thanks Eli!
Thanks Eli
thanks again!

Boston is the home of Book of Odds, and in memory of those killed and wounded, and in honor of the bravery and solidarity displayed by so many, we use our tools to look at the odds of this horrific attack.
Even though it's still early, I think that there's a good case that Rand Paul's early support may turn into something real. In other words, he's a legitimate frontrunner.
The existence of certain obnoxious quarters of the right in Occupy was occasionally a problem for the movement, but the right's presence was also a sign of Occupy's promise.
Can we escape the past? No. And why should we? For one, we've spent far more time in the past than we do in the present. The present, at best, lasts the blink of an eye...if you blink really, really quickly.
A bunch of men who seem to know nothing about pregnancy and even less about sex should not be tasked with making laws which take away the rights of women to be people who can have some measure of control in their lives.
Sometime toward the end of this year, I shall become an American citizen. A few of my European friends look confused when they realize that I go around the world expounding the importance of liberty -- and yet choose to live in the U.S.
Bitcoin true believers really do hope, even perhaps intend, that their new currency subverts and supplants a state-based system they believe to be non-consensual and coercive. In the end, however, the state's role will be vindicated.
Every so often in American politics a party nominates an insurgent, not because of his/her experience, but simply because their message strikes a resonate chord with the most active faction of the party at that time.
Between 1960 and 2008, 50 U.S. Senators sought the Presidency and lost. U.S. Senator Barack Obama broke the nearly half-century "Senate Curse" in 2008 by wining the Presidency.
The big question for Democrats is this: What kind of deal is worse than the sequester, which Paul Ryan has said is the Republicans' fallback position. In other words, what would make Democrats throw up their hands and say: "You want it? You got it." -- and mean it?
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who is embroiled in controversies about plagiarism, could learn from Obama instead of making lame and silly excuses that are being brilliantly dissected by Rachel Maddow of MSNBC and others.
If you're a true libertarian, own it. But be prepared to be questioned vigorously about the role government has played in your life and your successes, and be prepared to defend decreased literacy and increased poverty, increased labor abuses and a vanishing social safety net.
In two weeks, Tea Party leaders in Congress will pull back from the brink... or not. But what if the very plan is to go over the edge?
It's time to bring all the troops home, secure our borders like Fort Knox and reduce our foreign policy to negotiation, trade embargoes and other fiscal restrictions.
We need to have policies that help all students to succeed, and not just the few. Ayn Rand and her philosophical followers would have us be concerned only about future "strivers." Our better nature, most religions, and our country's core beliefs call for us to help all.
Former Congressman Paul responded to MSNBC correspondent Wagner's challenge by flatly refusing to reconsider his planned appearance at the Fatima Center conference and by accusing Wagner of "Catholic bashing."

Our Hearts Were Young and Gay (original 1942; edition 1963)
by Cornelia Otis Skinner (Author), Emily Kimbrough (Author), Constantin Alajálov (Illustrator)
Work details
Our Hearts were Young and Gay by Cornelia Otis Skinner (1942)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
First published in 1942, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay is the story of two privileged American women in their late teens who have an adventure in Europe just after the end of World War I. Although it's moderately interesting, I found the two women thoughtless, self-absorbed and rather insufferable. Anyone who would cover up the fact that she has measles to avoid being inconvenienced when departing ship, not worrying one whit about infecting others, is a horrible person. That her parents and traveling companion go along shows the world she came from. Being young and stupid is no excuse. And to call it a "comic chronicle" is a huge exaggeration. It was funny as a crutch. And the writing stunk.
Utterly charming. As a child in a small town, when I discovered Skinner, Kimbrough, Thurber, and Robert Benchley, I was thrilled to have a chance to read 'grown-up' books. I didn't understand every reference then, and I still don't. Also, now I see a tiny bit of unconscious racism & classism. But this is still absolutely delightful, capturing a moment in time with such energy & humor that a reader feels as if she's on the trip with the two adventuresses. I do recommend you start with either this or [b:Water, Water, Everywhere|6597177|Water, Water, Everywhere|Emily Kimbrough|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1308288712s/6597177.jpg|6790949] if you've never read any of these old travel memoirs.
Cornelia Otis Skinner, an American actress, writer and screenwriter co-wrote Our Hearts were Young and Gay with her good friend Emily Kimbrough, a memoir about their travels in Europe in the 1920's. It is difficult to see where Kimbrough's collaboration is exactly as the book is written in Skinner's first person narrative. None of that seems important however as the book is full of charm and humour, and both women come across quite hilariously full of adorably lovable quirks and eccentricities.
2015-07-13_21.14.41Having finished college Cornelia and Emily embark on a European tour which they have planned for some time. There is much excitement, at their first independent adventure and not a little horror over the peculiar safety pocket both girls had been made to wear beneath their clothes by anxious parents. They set sail for England on board the Montcalm, their relatively cheap ticket meaning their cabin is well below decks. Barely do the two get themselves settled than they are uprooted again. The ship becomes stuck, run aground and starting to tip, thankfully still just in sight of shore. When the ship is finally freed they limp on to Canada where the girls spend a week with an Aunt of Cornelia's before finally setting off once more on another ship. Aboard the Empress of France Cornelia and Emily can finally enter in to life aboard an Atlantic going vessel. Their often hapless shipboard life is recounted with the sort of gentle humour which is reminiscent of E M Delafield's A Provincial Lady. There is deck tennis to be negotiated, and blushed over, a concert to take part in, and 'nice women' to try and befriend. Then Cornelia falls victim to measles. Waiting to meet the girls in London are Cornelia's parents, who with Emily's help must smuggle poor Cornelia – who has plastered herself with makeup to hide the beginnings of a rash – past the health inspector.
In London the two friends' new found independence is somewhat diluted by the comforting presence of Cornelia's parents nearby, who provide them with a good meal or two. In England the two American young ladies are introduced to all manner of new experiences including English rain, Hampton Court, encounter H G Wells, a potentially exploding hot water geyser and particularly inexplicable to Emily – British currency. 2015-07-13_21.13.00
"It was in vain that I tried to show her the difference between a half-crown and two shilling piece. She refused to admit they were anything but two versions of fifty cents and persisted in being so stubbornly obtuse about it I finally told her if she'd just bring herself to read what was written on them she'd know. This didn't work out so well either, because she'd keep taxi drivers waiting interminably while she'd scan the reading matter of each coin, turning it round and round, sometimes breathing on it and rubbing it clear. When I suggested that people might think her awfully queer she said not at all, they'd merely mistake her for a coin collector. I tried explaining to her that "one florin" meant two shillings but that made her madder. The day we received a bill made out in guineas, and I told her there was no such thing as a guinea, it was a pound and one shilling, only the swanker shops charged you guineas, and you paid in pounds and shillings, but you called it guineas although, as I had said, there really was no such thing, she slapped me"
Leaving Cornelia's parents in England, the two friends continue their travels to France. In Normandy they stay in a small French pension and in Rouen a house of ill-repute which the two innocents mistake for a guest house – much to the bemusement of the inhabitants.
"Some of the doors were open, and we caught glimpses of the other guests who seemed quite surprised to see us and we were indeed surprised to see them. They all appeared to be young women in very striking evening dresses. This was certainly unusual, but we concluded they must all be waiting to go out to a dinner party. It never once occurred to us that we weren't exactly in keeping with the ton of the place, I, in mu Buster Brown panama and Emily in her pepper and salt tweeds.
Madame led us up several flights of stairs and allotted us a modest room quite removed from the more elaborate ones below. She explained we'd be tranquille there. Then in a faint, far-away voice, she asked how we'd happened to come to her place."
After Normandy the girls finally get to Paris, they see the Eiffel Tower, encounter bed- bugs, visit the Ritz bar and catch up again with Cornelia's parents who have now arrived in Paris too. Cornelia even manages to take a few acting lessons with an acting hero. Soon it is time to leave, the adventure at an end. While Emily heads off with friends on a motor trip, Cornelia heads home to the states.
This hugely entertaining memoir with its hilarious illustrations is deliciously infectious and has quite definitely whetted my appetite for the two essay collections Nuts in May and Popcorn that I have waiting.
a little dated but quite funny and still true about one's first trip to europe.
The author is the daughter of Otis Skinner, and Maud Durbin Skinner, matinee idols of the early 20th century. Decades after the trip and having established herself as an actress, Cornelia collaborated with her travel partner, Emily Kimbrough with a memoirists' detailed memory, to tell the story of their trip abroad when they were in their late teens. Two cheery women, from Montreal to Paris, with shipwreck, an hysterical game of tennis, measles, inadvertent lodging in a house ill repute, with romantic yearnings and sightseeing.
With a gift for exaggeration bordering on hysteresis, the stories are detailed, nostaligic and innocente. The girls are as companiable and terrifying as girls can be.

Actress Cornelia Otis Skinner and journalist Emily Kimbrough offer a lighthearted, hilarious memoir of their European tour in the 1920s, when they were fresh out of college from Bryn Mawr. Some of the more amusing anecdotes involve a pair of rabbit-skin capes that begin shedding at the most inopportune moments and an episode in which the girls are stranded atop Notre Dame cathedral at midnight. And, of course, there's romance, in the form of handsome young doctor Tom Newhall and college "Lothario" Avery Moore. Published in 1942, the book spent five weeks at the top of the New York Times best-seller list in the winter of 1943 and was made into a motion picture in 1944.… (more)

CD Review: Nathan Beaver — Universal You; Playing Smith's Olde Bar's Atlanta Room, September 18
Nathan Beaver
Universal You
Red Eye Gravy
By Scott Roberts
You have to admire Nathan Beaver's tenacity. The Atlanta-bred singer/songwriter (now living in Nashville) began recording the follow-up to his 2004 debut CD in 2005 and due to a studio mishap, the 80 percent complete recording was lost. Understandably emotionally distraught and financially strapped, Beaver was forced to shelve his musical plans indefinitely. Fortunately he overcame this tragedy and has finally emerged five years later with his second effort, the likable if unremarkable Universal You, released this past June.
The CD starts out with the near-dirge-like "Piecing Together the World," an unusual choice for an album opener due to its slow pace. Though the song has a palpable earnestness and features some tasty pedal steel guitar from Mark Van Allen (who adds wonderful touches to many of the songs on the CD), it probably would have worked better buried somewhere in the middle of the record. Fortunately, Beaver picks up the pace on the second cut, the standout "Clever," a Jackson Browne-ian song that should have opened the CD and would fit in well on most adult contemporary playlists. The other notable track is "Shame On Me," one of the only other upbeat numbers on the disc and another showcasing the instrumental prowess of Van Allen, along with Beaver's clear, easy-going voice.
Universal You's production (by Will Robertson) is often a little too slick and polished for its own good, as are Beaver's often overly serious lyrics and attitude (an affliction suffered at times by many singer/songwriters), but when he lets go a little, the results are quite pleasing and satisfying. Next time he goes to the studio, Nathan Beaver will hopefully not be hit with any unforeseen disasters and will try to have a bit more fun.

Modern Cosmetic Surgery Center
Modern Cosmetic Surgery Center may have "surgery" in its name, but many of the services it offers require minimal incisions. Take SmartLipo, for instance—rather than subjecting clients to the invasive techniques and long recovery of liposuction, the treatment uses laser technology to break down fat with just one small incision. To treat spider veins, the VNUS procedure just requires anesthetic and a dose of radio frequency, and sclerotherapy calls on only a few injections. Of course, for more severe issues, board-certified surgeon Dr. Mohammed Siddiqui can harness more than three decades in his craft to heal what ails his patients—from digestive organs to the endocrine system—as quickly and comfortably as possible. The doctor also irons away the signs of age with a number of beauty injections, including Botox, Juvéderm, and Dysport.

Amsterdam Will Harvest Urine for Green Roofs
"Amsterdam is hosting International Water Week, which seeks to help cities address water challenges including rising sea levels, and growing demands for clean water caused by the world's growing population," writes Rich Heap.
"On Sunday, the city's water corporation, Waternet, installed a set of temporary urinals in La Place de la Bourse. Men are being encouraged to use these urinals so Waternet can collect their urine. It will then seek to extract the phosphates from the urine and turn them into struvite, which is a fertilizer used in agriculture and horticulture."

Hydrovolts - Turbine Project
Discovery Channel recently featured the hardware side of a project I've been working on.
Spatial Minds did the server side software portion. The application consists of two components: A Unix daemon performing data collection/storage and a Web 2.0 application for data visualization. The in-field turbines report sensor data in real-time over a wireless connection. The software collects the data and allows engineers to quickly visualize how the turbine is performing over any given date range. CSV files can be downloaded with a single button for import into Excel, Matlab, Tableau, or other software for more in-depth exploration of the data.
The Web 2.0 application source code is available under the GNU Public License at https://github.com/hydrovolts/hvconnect
The tabular data scrolls quickly and smoothly with an unlimited amount of data.

^^^^^thanks John - but I think you should state that you want the business of forum members! I don't think the performance or quality of the work was in question - which honestly in this industry speaks louder than some delivery issues. This was one of the most thoughtful posts I have ever read authored by a H Performance representative, or you yourself, and no matter if I purchase anything in the furture from you or not, because of this, I probably won't feel the need to chime in on future threads when someone asks about your company.
In this respect, I think you should not look at responding here as a waste of your time, because it was not, and should not look at future posts as a waste of time, posting on future threads, in any forum.
Honesly John, I'm a nobody, and even if you are a somebody in the automotive performance industry, word of mouth is still important with the lighting speed of online information.

I'VE HAD IT with CREEPS on bikes mowing me down in park when they are in bike game -_- They are doing it ON PURPOSE,& it needs to STOP !!!!!!! EVERY time I go there, they mow me down -_- I know the steering is a little hard, but, NO excuse for that happening. I NEVER mowed anyone down -_- Just last night, I was typing message to a friend & saw a bike mowing me down & DRAGGING me FAR away -_- NO ACCIDENT !!!!!! If it was accident, they would have stopped & let me go. They did NOT !!!!! The bikes NEED to be FIXED so that these CREEPS can't mow us down anymore. I'VE HAD IT with CREEPS on bikes !!!!!! FIX THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE !!!!!
Re: ACORN MEADOWS PARK
When someone hits you, they don't see you being pulled with until 3 seconds after it happens. Not everything is perfectly synced. It probably was intentional but the fact that they didn't immediately stop isn't evidence of that.
Re: ACORN MEADOWS PARK
IT WAS ON PURPOSE, I SAW THEM DRAGGING me FAR away. I had to go all the way back to my friend & he didn't get to read my message to him. After that, others were aiming at me & trying to HIT me !!!!! This happens EVERY time I go there !!!!! IT NEEDS TO STOP !!!!! I'VE HAD IT with CREEPS on bikes !!!!!!
Re: ACORN MEADOWS PARK
Yes, they do it intentionally. I've been pushed from one end of the bridge all the way to the train. And
I've watched them aim at others to push them.
Last few times that it has happened, i've hit X to ask to join ride! HAH confusion! then they stayed
well clear of me
Re: ACORN MEADOWS PARK
IKR. This has happened to me so many times it's ridiculous.
For some reason people who have no life will randomly pick out one person to push to their limits. I don't know how many times I've been hanging with a friend/friends just talking, and the convo gets ruined by some jerk. They line you up, ~BAM~. I don't know if it's just me but lately I've noticed being pulled further than usual, like I mean halfway accross the Park instead of just a little way. Usually I ignore this, and keep talking to the friend, just to give the jerk no ammo but they will almost always come back, line me up again... and again... and again. They won't stop. Ignoring will not work, they will just try harder to make you angry. I don't know what to do anymore! It's especially awful when someone has to comment on it, thus fueling the jerks' fun. "YOU GOT HIT, HAHA!!!" and such. We've been begging and begging for a fix, and still waiting!!!
I will offer this tip meanwhile. Stand near a bench when chatting with friends. If a jerk starts picking on you, click "x" and sit on the bench. You will be in for a laugh when the culprit comes by for another round and all the sudden you are sitting safely on the bench. Chat while sitting for awhile and the jerk will usually leave! I tried this once as a guy was pushing me and he left quickly once he realized he couldn't do anything.
bike hire
what are they going to do about the bikes in acorn park. every day i am on and get pushed around by the bike hire bikes. we cant just chill with our friend and have fun because of it. This is getting really old my friends complained about it still nothing has been done. we spend way to much money and time on here for this to happen it is not enjoyable
Re: bike hire
Re: bike hire[ Edited ]
IIRC it seemed like there was a game or something that had collision a long time ago, but it was turned off because people used it to bully others mostly, now it's back in Acorn Meadows.

The eye tracking specialist Seeing Machines Limited (LON:SEE) has completed a £6.7mln stock placing at a premium to the existing price that has brought in a new strategic investor.
VS Industry (VSI), one of the world's leading contract manufacturers, has subscribed for shares at 5.199p each, 20% higher than the 30-day weighted price of the stock.
VSI, which will appoint Yong Kang (YK) Ng to the Seeing Machines board, has a number of high profile customers, including posh vacuum maker Dyson.
It employs 11,000 staff and last year posted revenues of £340mln last year.
The cash raised by Seeing Machines will help it "accelerate" its efforts in the automotive industry, where eye-tracking technology will be key to the next-generation semi-autonomous cars.
Currently the company is partnered with Takata, the Japanese auto parts firm, to produce the driver monitoring system that is taken by a number of car makers.
Seeing Machines reckons the VSI tie-up with should also help with the development of its range of Guardian products for the commercial transport industry.
The Malaysian firm, which also has an operation in Hong Kong, has the "broad manufacturing capabilities" the Australia-based firm lacks and "influential transport related contacts".
Deal accelerates progress
Seeing Machines chairman Terry Winters said: "Their experience in value engineering and volume manufacturing will help guide Seeing Machines as we continue to scale up our business.
"The funds raised from VSI will allow us to accelerate our momentum in the automotive industry. There are enormous opportunities at the moment for our technology to become a critical part of the cars of the future.
"We're continuing to work on how we can best take advantage of those opportunities to maximise value for our shareholders."
Yet another savvy deal
Broker finnCap said earlier…
This is yet another impressive development partner for Seeing Machines, sitting alongside Caterpillar, General Motors, Takata, Boeing, and Samsung.
VSI's funding and manufacturing expertise will assist with the continuing development and production of its DSS devices [driver distraction system].
Some dilution is traded for additional funding while the manufacturing business continues to examine options for a spin out to ensure its own long-term funding.
Success in the mining industry
Seeing Machines is a technology company and its assets are primarily the proprietary intellectual property and algorithms that enable facial tracking from video and live camera feeds.
Commercially, these technologies are housed in the driver monitoring systems and the associated software platforms.
The company's technology is applicable for a very broad range of possible installations, though the driver monitoring devices have so far been the most advanced in terms of commercial development and revenue generation.
The product that has gained the most traction to date is the driver distraction system, used at 45 mining operations worldwide to monitor fatigue of dump truck operators.

eBooks have taught us that literature and technology are not as diametrically opposed as once believed and now 3 has chosen to show a little love to our best art form... (I would say that).
The progressive telco has announced 'Books on the Go', a service which will bring novels, biographies and more directly OTA to users' handsets. Both eBooks and audio books will be available and thanks to deals with the likes of HarperCollins and Penguin, 3 will be adding over 100 new titles each month.
The whole system is being developed in conjunction with GoSpoken.com - Andy McNab's online literary resource - and 3 will offer its whole customer base (no matter whether they are on monthly contracts or PAYG) free previews of all content. Pricing is rather clever with complete books costing between £5 and £10 with the option to also buy them in chunks at £1 to £3 in case you're reading Andy McNab/decide you don't like it 50 pages in.
Based in the network's 'Planet 3' portal Books on the Go launches immediately and while I'm not entirely convinced your eyes will benefit from reading off a budget Nokia (even the iPhone's 3.5in LCD seems a bit small) as a painfully elitist book snob (two literature degrees make me a complete pain in the backside) anything that gets people reading more is good in my book...

The future of the Napier-Gisborne rail line came up in question time in Parliament yesterday with Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee offering no commitment to repair it.
New Zealand First MP Brendan Horan raised the issue and criticised the delay in making a decision on the line's future.
The line was closed at the end of March after heavy rain caused three dropouts, one a 100m wide chasm, near Beach Loop.
KiwiRail has said it will cost up to $4.3 million to fix but other maintenance required on the line had to be taken into account. It has said it would need Government support.
A decision had been expected by the middle of the month.
Mr Horan said the livelihoods of many families in the Napier-Gisborne region hung in the balance and many more were suffering more hardship because of Government indecision.
Mr Brownlee said no decision had been made because the line was still under "active consideration".
The Government wanted certainty about future crated exports from the area before making a decision, he said.
"The question would suggest that transport routes into Gisborne are completely closed, they are not," Mr Brownlee said.
The question follows a visit to Gisborne by KiwiRail chief executive Jim Quinn this week, and a district council report which has reinvigorated debate about the importance, or not, of the line.
The report even suggested that fracking in the Gisborne district could provide a lifeline for the rail line.
It found that based on conservative estimates of freight volumes "not only would the short-term viability of the rail line to Napier be assured, but that the medium and long-term viability of the line is also strong".
The report says Gisborne's economy is based on primary produce, with large volumes needing to be sent out of the district.
"Further large-volume commodities may need to be exported from the district if tentative plans to mine mineral resources ... come to fruition.
"If hydraulic fracturing (fracking) processes were to be used for this, there may be a need to move considerable volumes of water mixed with fracking fluid as well."
The study says the 212km line could carry enough freight to exceed the amount required to break even by 500 tonnes.
Meanwhile, Gisborne meat processor Ovation and the New Zealand Automobile Association have come out in support of reopening the line.
Plant manager of Ovation New Zealand's Gisborne lamb processing facility, Kevin Morrell, said road transportation was used to get the company's shipping containers to the Napier port. "However, we have successfully trialled using rail and we are definitely keen to pursue this option," he said.
Road closures over the past 12 months have had a huge impact on Ovation Gisborne's business.
"I believe we will be very vulnerable if we were to lose the rail link to Napier."
The Automobile Association (AA) Hawke's Bay/Gisborne district manager Glenys Gray said the organisation firmly believed the link between Napier and Gisborne was vital.
The council unanimously supported the Hawke's Bay Regional Transport Committee for their efforts to retain the line.
A KiwiRail report on the line's future will be finished by June. A decision is expected by the Government next month.

Press Release
Gaza/Brussels/London – November 21, 2011
Largest CEPR delegation to date arrives in Gaza
The Council for European Palestinian Relations (CEPR) arrived in Gaza on Monday, November 21, with its largest delegation of international representatives to date. More than 35 countries are represented by over 90 politicians and civil society members from South America, Asia, the United States and Europe.
Portuguese Member of the European Parliament, Ms. Marisa Matias claims that "the high level of expectation has been met" but that "after 3 years since the destruction of Gaza, the main issue that brought us here still remains to be solved."
Irish Member of the European Parliament, Mr. Paul Murphy, who was detained onboard the Irish boat, MV Saorise, by Israeli authorities in international waters on November 4, is also amongst the representatives. It not by sea, then by land, the CEPR is striving to break the Gaza blockade.
Other prominent representatives include Clare Short, former UK Member of Parliament and Secretary of State for the Department for International Development (DFID); Ann Wright, former U.S. Colonel and member of the U.S. boat to Gaza, as well as the outspoken Senator from Peshawar, Pakistan, Mr. Mohammad Adeel.
In light of the turmoil erupting in neighboring Egypt, the arrival of the CEPR delegation is a success and aims on Tuesday and Wednesday to advance dialogue with the different Palestinian civil society groups and politicians as well as with international NGOs and UN agencies working in Gaza.
The CEPR's Director, Dr. Arafat Shoukri reiterates that: "the Israeli siege is a violation of international law; this delegation shows that our friends around the world also want to see the restoration of Palestinians in Gaza."

Utility stocks rocked higher Thursday, which might seem strange in a supposedly bullish stock-market environment.
Four of the five stocks in IBD's utilities screen — NiSource (NI), Dominion Resources (D), Sempra Energy (SRE) and OGE Energy (OGE) — showed solid gains Thursday.
And the Dow Jones utility average was outperforming the Nasdaq, the S&P 500 and small caps Thursday. What gives?
The kick-the-can solution in Washington to the debt-ceiling issue might get indirect credit as Treasury yields slip, making dividends more attractive. But the risk of a government default on its debt or even delayed payments were never truly at stake.
Less than 10% of tax receipts are needed to service the debt, so paying the interest on bonds wouldn't have been a problem even if the debt ceiling wasn't raised. Or as Moody's Steven Hess wrote in a credit outlook: "The debt limit restricts government expenditures to the amount of its incoming revenues; it does not prohibit the government from servicing its debt. There is no direct connection between the debt limit ... and a default."
Yet, the D.C. noise might have done utilities a favor. The worry for months has been that the Federal Reserve will at some point drop the bond buying and let interest rates rise.
Rising interest rates mean utility dividends look less attractive. Higher rates also impose higher costs on utilities because they are in a capital-intensive industry.
The recent bickering over the debt ceiling reminded the Street of a very real pressure the Fed faces on interest rates. Servicing the debt is a walk in the park with the current low interest rates. If rates were to rise significantly, servicing the debt could eat up a much bigger chunk of federal spending.
The Fed doesn't want to face the political pressures that go with that scenario.
Does this mean utility investors can breathe easier? Maybe, but with so much of utilities' appeal dependent on what government does or doesn't do, caution is appropriate.

The Ad Network Spending Spree
The wave of dealmaking engulfing the online advertising sector isn't over yet. The most recent evidence came Nov. 1, with news that Francisco Partners, a private equity firm in Menlo Park, Calif., is investing $100 million in Specific Media, a company that specializes in placing and targeting online ads.
Specific Media plans to use the funding, which follows a $10 million venture capital infusion in June, 2006, to purchase smaller ad outfits capable of expanding the company's ad-delivering capabilities and the markets its ads reach. "The capital is going toward acquisitions," Specific Media CEO Tim Vanderhook says.
Specific Media's peer group has already seen its share of deals. The world's largest Internet companies, including Google (GOOG), Yahoo! (YHOO), Microsoft (MSFT), and Time Warner's (TWX) AOL, have spent more than $10 billion in recent months (BusinessWeek.com, 5/18/07), snapping up online ad networks in hopes of boosting revenue from the placement of display ads, the graphic and multimedia messages that run in fixed places on Web pages.
Staking Out a Position
Specific Media won't say how much ownership it ceded in exchange for the investment, making it difficult to estimate the company's current value. According to the Venture Beat blog, the company was worth $200 million before the investment.
Specific Media's worth will become paramount in the runup to any initial share sale—or if the company becomes a takeover target. Thanks to revenue-sharing deals with sites across the Web, Specific Media placed clients' ads in front of more than 130 million U.S. Web surfers in September, more than 70% of the nation's online population, according to comScore Media Metrix.
Despite its size, Vanderhook sees Specific Media as David in a battle against an army of Goliaths for share of the nonsearch advertising market. "There is maybe one other company that has the scale to compete with the portals aside from us," says Vanderhook, referring to ValueClick, the leading independent ad network. "We will be the independent ad network of choice."
A Growing Share of the Ad Market
And plenty of online players are hoping Vanderhook is right. Since the spate of ad network acquisitions this year, some Web site owners have expressed concern that the companies placing ads on their pages are now owned by some of their largest competitors for online traffic and advertising dollars. The extra control Google would receive from its yet-to-be-approved $3.1 billion acquisition of DoubleClick has some particularly concerned, especially since many feel the dominant player in search advertising already wields too much power (BusinessWeek.com, 4/9/07).
The stakes in the ad network buying frenzy are high and rising. Search advertising makes up the largest share of the $21.4 billion online advertising pie, but other forms of advertising are growing their share. Roughly 40% of all online ad dollars go to search, according to an October report by research firm eMarketer. Together, video and display advertising, the forte of ad networks, account for almost 30% of the market. But by 2010, when the online advertising market reaches nearly $40 billion, both will make up 34%, compared with 39% for search, eMarketer says.
Eat or Be Eaten
To win in this growing field, the players that remain will need scale, experts say. "There are going to be four or maybe five really scaled platforms," says Dave Morgan, founder and chairman of Tacoda Systems, the ad targeting network acquired by AOL in July for $275 million (BusinessWeek.com, 7/24/07).
Specific Media wants to be among them. After increasing its scale through ad network acquisitions, Vanderhook plans to take the company public. "We will move quickly," says Vanderhook. "We are talking with a couple of acquisition targets."
His company could find itself in the crosshairs of a suitor itself. Although major players such as AOL, Google, and Yahoo have already purchased advertising networks, they have proved they are willing to acquire more than one. AOL, for example, acquired Advertising.com in 2004 and then added to its reach this year with the acquisitions of Tacoda, which tailors ads to the surfing habits of individual computers, and mobile network Third Screen Media. This year, Yahoo acquired both advertising exchange Right Media and ad network BlueLithium. Other potential acquirers include advertising agencies that want a firm foothold on the Web. In May, WPP Group (WPP) acquired 24/7 Real Media for about $649 million.
If Specific Media does go public, Vanderhook will have competition in his quest to be the leading independent ad network. ValueClick, which has been the subject of acquisition rumors itself, has a market cap of nearly $3 billion and has aggressively acquired smaller ad networks in the past to increase its scale and reach. Currently, it also can serve ads to more than 70% of U.S. Web surfers. "Certainly [it's] one of the big differentiators in this business," says Gary Fuges, ValueClick's vice-president of investor relations. "Scale matters."

What a weekend last weekend was, I feel like I need another one just to rest up. It was the Grand Final weekend, the Australian footy final between Hawthorn and the Sydney Swans. We had invited some friends over for a combined GF, housewarming and 30th party. Given the limited space in our apartment we were hoping for nice weather so we could be on the balcony. That didn't exactly happen. Read more
Grand Final weekend
Carn the crows!
What team should you be barracking for?
When in Oz you have to have a footy team that you go for. For those of you that might be indecisive I'll pass on a photo Marie shared in the Swaussie Facebook page that might help you make up your mind.
Lazy Saturday
We're having a lazy Saturday morning here today and it feels great, just what I needed after this last week. Made an omelette breakfast and Simon just watched the Crows beat Gold Coast in their first footy match for the season. I'm sitting here sipping on my coffee about to pay the bills so in other words no reason to complain so far.
Busy day
A rather grey Saturday here in Göteborg today but it's been a busy one. We started off the morning meeting up with the AFL team here in Göteborg (the Göteborg Berserkers) for a brekkie and a live screening of the opening game of the 2012 AFL season. Not the most interesting game between the Giants and the Swans but still enjoyable. Simon stayed after the game with the rest of the team since they were going to kick some balls themselves after but I went home instead. I did make a stop on the way though at Löplabbet where I bought myself a pair of running pants. I noticed I've been deprived my entire life running in normal trackies. What a difference it was to run in these. So comfy it almost made my jog at Skatås enjoyable. But only almost. 🙂
Be true to yourself
Australia lost a legend this week. On March 20th the well respected former AFL player Jim Stynes lost his 3 year brave battle to cancer. He was only 45.
I've always learnt from Jim, but I think the most valuable lessons have been in the last few years. He never ceased to amaze me. An incredible man we have lost too early. – close friend John Lund
Not being Australian I slowly grasped, while speaking to Simon and reading articles and tributes online, what an impact this man has made on not only the Australian Football League but the entire country. He was not just a star footy player he was so much more; an AFL consecutive games record holder, a youth worker, a business man, a Victorian of the year winner, a football club chairman, the first international player to become a Brownlow medallist, a writer and a much loved Irish import.
Garry Lyon's heartfelt tribute to his friend and former team mate.
I love this game
Grand Final rematch
As we wrote before the Grand Final on Saturday was a draw and the rules of AFL is a bit different from other sports, instead of playing another quarter or extra time, the premiership will be decided with a full replay rematch next Saturday. This doesn't happen that often though, it actually only happened two times before in the history of AFL, back in 1948 and 1977.
If the replay game turn out to be a draw too, extra time will be played instead of having another replay so on Saturday there will be a winner of the 2010 AFL premiership – the Magpies or the Saints. Read more
Grand Final Day
t's all about the Grand Final here in Australia right now and especially here in Melbourne. Since I didn't have a clue what people were talking about before I'll thought I would explain to you what's all about.
The AFL Grand Final is an annual Australian rules football match, traditionally held on the final Saturday in September at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne, Australia to determine the Australian Football League premiership champions. (This year the game is between St Kilda and Geelong)
The game has become significant to Australian culture, spawning a number of traditions and surrounding activities which have grown in popularity since the VFL/AFL went national in the 1980s. In 2006, the Sweeney Sports Report concluded that the AFL Grand Final became Australia's most important sporting event, with the largest attendance, metropolitan television audience and overall interest of any annual Australian sporting event.
With an official attendance of 100,012 at the 2008 AFL Grand Final, it's currently the best attended domestic club championship event in the world. Read more
Australian Football – Footy
Det är publiksiffran i fredags i Ethiad Stadium under fotbollsmatchen mellan ligans hittills i säsongen obesegrade, Geelong Cats och Melbournelaget Western Bulldogs. Jag var en av dessa besökarna tillsammans med tre killar från jobbet (två av våra säljare och så Peter). Var en helt ok match enligt experterna och för mig som aldrig varit på en match tidigare var det ju lite extra spännande. Vann gjorde inte helt oväntat Geelong men bara med två poäng och det var spännande in i det sista. Tyvärr tänkte jag inte på att ta med min systemkamera till matchen (hade nog kunnat bli några bra bilder) men vi åkte direkt från jobbet till arenan och det var inget jag hade tänkt på att ta med till jobbet. Efter matchen blev det en liten pubrunda med boysen men jag var hemma runt 01.30 så det blev inte så sent. Read more

Hey, they're engine builders, they say to use that procedure on EVERYTHING THEY REBUILD, yep even lowly tinkertoy zetecs.
Look, it's all about GUARANTEED end result on ANY engine. The idea being to put everything in your favor you can. I am well aware of how little spring load is on these. I can push the valves open by hand on the stock ones.
The statement about having not built any engines is pretty funny, I'll leave it at that. Once you build enough of them you figure out it doesn't matter what you call the parts, what matters is what you do with them. Lifter, tappet, follower, bucket, all same part to me, all I need to know is what engine I'm working on to draw up a plan. On all the Honda bike DOHC twincams I built the 'bucket' as you call it was called tappet or lifter by them in the manual. Later manuals changed to word lifter only to apparently avoid confusion. Looking in them as I write. I guess they're idiots too, huh?
The intended actions ARE the same, to open/close the valve. What other thing could they do?? Maybe YOU are the one that has not built very many engines, eh?
Com'on, we both know otherwise, you sound pretty smart to me. You just need to back off putting it out there like you are the only guy that can build a motor. I've got literally hundreds under my belt and no time to tell all of them. Heck, I could pick up some puffer knowledge from you, all my stuff was pretty much NA.

Wisconsin's Rustic Roads
A Road Less Travelled
Photographs by Bob Rashid
Text by Ben Logan, George Vukelich, Jean Feraca, Norbert Blei, and Bill Stokes
A favorite Wisconsin keepsake available again
Part guide and part spiritual journey, this visually stunning book celebrates America's statewide system of historic back country roads. It takes armchair travelers on a richly illustrated journey through the most beautiful landscapes of one of the nation's most geographically diverse states and serves as a guide for those who decide to embark on an actual trip over these charming lanes.
The project began when photographer Bob Rashid undertook a two-year odyssey to preserve the remarkable sights along the 67 official Rustic Roads in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's Rustic Roads, in the images of Rashid and the words of five of Wisconsin's most recognized and cherished authors, is a testament to places where the efficiency of a road is not measured by its speed, nor its purpose necessarily defined by a destination.
Bob Rashid (1949–2008) was a Wisconsin photographer whose work appeared in Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, Wisconsin Trails, the Milwaukee Journal, and other national and international publications. His book Gone Fishing is also published by the University of Wisconsin Press.

Another Therapeutic Agent in the Pipeline for Preventing Acute Vaso-Occlusive Events in Sickle Cell Disease
Dr. DeBaun looks at experiments using ARQ 092 as a possible therapeutic agent for preventing acute vaso-occlusive events in sickle cell disease.
Published on: January 01, 2013
Dr. Vercellotti indicated no relevant conflicts of interest.
Winkler IG , Barbier V, Nowlan B, et al. Vascular niche E-selectin regulates hematopoietic stem cell dormancy, self renewal and chemoresistance. Nat Med. 2012;18:1651-1657.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy for hematologic malignancies frequently ask, "How do hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) recover after treatment so that the blood counts return to normal?" The clinician usually describes how quiescent HSCs can robustly awaken to reconstitute red cells, white cells, and platelets and simultaneously self-renew, creating another quiescent HSC. This process provides a mechanism for both expansion of hematopoiesis and self-renewal of the quiescent HSC pool, assuring maintenance of hematopoiesis. The majority of adult HSCs are quiescent, maintained in the G0 phase of the cell cycle, and in this dormant state, stem cells are protected against myelotoxic agents such as chemotherapy or radiation. Once the toxic insult is obviated, the quiescent stem cell pool is activated and reconstitution of hematopoiesis ensues.1 HSC preservation occurs in specialized niches in the vascular/endothelial and osteoblastic/endosteal bone marrow microenvironment. Multiple cell-cell adhesive interactions with specific molecular receptors, cytokines, and ligands are required to ensure HSC multi-potentiality, quiescence, and selfrenewal. In the current paper, Winkler and colleagues from Mater Medical Research Institute, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, report that the endothelial-specific adhesion molecule, E-selectin, regulates HSC dormancy, self-renewal, and chemoresistance and suggests that hematopoietic recovery following chemotherapy could be modulated through E-selectin blockade.
E-selectin is a member of the selectin family (P-selectin and L-selectin are the other members) of cell adhesion molecules that function as lectins (proteins that bind carbohydrates). E-selectin is expressed by cytokine-activated endothelial cells, whereas P-selectin is expressed by both platelets and endothelial cells, and L-selectin is expressed by leukocytes. The investigators used wild-type and E-selectin knockout mice (Sele-/-) to show that the HSC cycle is slower when E-selectin is absent. This observation was E-selectin-specific as the HSC cycle time of P-selectin knockout mice was similar to that of their wild-type counterparts. Slower cycling suggests quiescence, and this interpretation was supported by repopulation assays in mice treated with hydroxyurea, an S-phase-specific agent. Those experiments showed that Sele-/- mice had six-fold more surviving HSCs in long-term culture assays following treatment with hydroxyurea. Despite this qualitative difference, the total number of HSCs per femur was not significantly different between Sele-/-mice and wild-type mice. HSC proliferation induced by E-selectin is mediated exclusively by vascular endothelial cells in the bone marrow, particularly those in the endosteal region compared with the central bone marrow. HSCs of Sele-/- mice withstood repeated rounds of cyclophosphamide chemotherapy significantly better than those of wild-type mice, and, compared with control mice, peripheral leukocyte counts were found to recover faster in irradiated Sele-/- animals. An E-selectin antagonist, GMI-1070, increased HSC chemo-resistance, quiescence, and self-renewal capacity without affecting the total HSC number. The effects of E-selectin appear to be mediated through binding of ligands that are expressed by HSC, including ESL-1 and glycosphingolipids, but not by the canonical E-selectin ligands PSGL-1 or CD44.
The authors do not propose a mechanism by which E-selectin promotes HSC proliferation. A commentary by Malcolm Moore that accompanies the article hypothesizes a potential role for disruption of TGF-β mediated inhibition of HSC proliferation.2-3 Use of E-selectin antagonists could reduce the myelosuppressive effects of chemotherapy, but on a cautionary note, tumor cells appear to utilize E-selectin ligands for homing, in which case use of such antagonists may induce quiescence and chemoresistance in malignant cells.

Thoughts On The Quality Systems Transaction – What Does It Mean for Ambulatory EMR?
David is a global digital healthcare leader that is focusing on the next era of healthcare IT. Most recently David served as the CIO at an academic medical center where he was responsible for all technology related to the three missions of education, research and patient care. David has worked for various healthcare providers ranging from academic medical centers, non-profit, and the for-profit sectors. Subscribe to David's latest CXO Scene posts here.
The top news last week was from Quality Systems Inc., which owns physician software vendor NextGen Healthcare Information Systems. The news was that NextGen will acquire HealthFusion Holdings, another ambulatory vendor, for $165 million (NextGen also sold their hospital division to QuadraMed the week before). As healthcare systems are consolidating, we are also seeing the consolidation happen on the vendor side and the payer side. The shrinking healthcare profit margin has an effect on the entire industry.
What is next for the ambulatory space?
- Physician Groups Joining Health Systems
As we move towards creating a clinical integrated network, the number of physician groups and independent physicians will also decrease where the majority will join an ACO or become an employee for the health systems. The decrease in medical groups and the consolidation of the medical groups will have a huge impact on the ambulatory EMR space. The industry will see a shift in the ambulatory EMR systems transition to the same EMR system that is used by the health systems, so I see a big pickup for the Cerner and Epic in the ambulatory world.
- Enterprise EMR
The enterprise EMR will have bigger demands from their clients to focus on the ambulatory side. Health systems are utilizing their technology investments as part of the outreach and growth strategy so it is vital that the clinics and medical groups have a system that fits their workflow. Many industry leading healthcare organizations are becoming a software EMR vendor by providing their ambulatory system to smaller hospitals, rural clinics, and physician groups that cannot afford the technology investment of an enterprise system.
This will be a very interesting space to watch in the next year. We'll see which players will survive and see what their strategies will be moving forward. I have been providing advisory services for many health systems in regards to their strategy for maximizing their technology investment and making it a revenue-generating tool. So I will be keeping a close eye on this space and sharing insights with you on CXO Scene going forward.

Craig City Council extends fireworks, open burn ban 60 days
August 15, 2012
In other action …
During its regular meeting Tuesday, the Craig City Council:
• Approved, 6-0, July 24 meeting minutes.
• Approved, 6-0, a special events permit for Art in the Park on Sept. 9 hosted by the Parrot Heads.
• Approved, 6-0, the renewal of a 3.2-percent beer license for Pizza Hut.
• Approved, 6-0, the renewal of a 3.2-percent beer license for Walmart.
• Approved, 6-0, the renewal of a hotel and restaurant liquor license for Best Western Deer Park Inn & Suites.
• Approved, 6-0, the appointments of Dan Martin and Justin Jenison to the Board of Appeals.
• Approved, 6-0, a $39,107 bid from Wastequip for a loaded container handler for the solid waste department.
• Heard a month-end report from Craig Police Chief Walt Vanatta.
• Went into executive session to discuss a personnel matter.
— Council member Byron Willems was absent from Tuesday's meeting.
With the city's ordinance banning open burning and the use of fireworks set to expire, the Craig City Council considered Tuesday extending the ordinance an additional 60 days.
Ordinance 1019 was first approved unanimously by council members in June citing the extreme fire danger in the City of Craig.
It was passed in accordance with the city's home rule charter and was initially executed for a period of 60 days.
Craig City Manager Jim Ferree said the original ordinance was set to automatically expire before the city council's Aug. 28 meeting.
City attorney Kenny Wohl drafted a reenactment of the ordinance for the council's consideration Tuesday.
"I think it's wise planning," council member Don Jones said. "We haven't been as fortunate as the people up east or in the south with the moisture they have received."
The 60-day extension was passed, 6-0, to stay consistent with Stage 2 fire restrictions currently in effect in Moffat County and on Bureau of Land Management land.
The ordinance, as re-enacted Tuesday, maintains its original language and bans the use of all fireworks, explosive devices and all forms of open burning within city limits.
The ordinance also stipulates fines of up to $1,000 and/or jail time for up to 180 days for those deemed to be in violation of the ban.
The ordinance takes effect immediately and does not prevent further re-enactment for another period of 60 days should the fire danger exist at that time.
