It has also launched e-Consultancy and Monitoring Cell for Diabetes.[7]
JN Medical College came into existence through the enthusiasm of Dr. Sir Ziauddin Ahmed, who saw the need for a medical college for the poor community at Aligarh. He worked with his colleagues and students (old boys) to work for the establishment of a medical college at the Aligarh Muslim University.[8] He raised the funds for the college.However the dream couldn't fulfil during his lifetime because of the death of Sir Ziauddin Ahmed in London.
The college under the leadership of Prof. Hadi Hasan,[9][10][11] who was a leading force in the fund raising campaign. Neatrly eight million rupees were collected from all corners of the nation. The medical college was declared open on 2 October 1962 (the 93rd birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi) with an intake of 1st Batch of 40 MBBS students and the same strength continued up to 1984. The intake was increased from 40 to 100 students in 1985 and this remained so up to 1995. The academic session of 1996–97 witnessed a further increase in the intake of MBBS students up to 150 as well as beginning of BDS course with intake of 40 students in the first batch by the permission of MCI and DCI respectively.
Colonel S. Bashir Hasan Zaidi (vice chancellor), Major SMH Naqvi (Principal) and Mr MM Siddiqui (Registrar) must be given particular credit for overcoming all difficulties in starting the college.
In the early seventies the college was under the Deanship and Principalship of Colonel M. Tajuddin. Dr. Mahmoodur Rahman, the then vice chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University played a key role in the establishment of Dr. Sir Ziauddin Dental College under the Faculty of Medicine.

By Claude Shitindi – Photos From My February Safari
Greetings from Arusha, Tanzania. My name is Claude Shitindi and I am a driver-guide with Africa Dream Safaris. I have just returned from a 10-night safari to the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater beginning February 6, 2013 and ending February 16, 2013. We enjoyed many different areas of the park and also a nice mixture of lodging and camping including Seronera Sametu Camp in the Central Serengeti Woodlands, Private Camping in the Southern Serengeti Plains, Ngorongoro Serena Lodge on the rim of the Crater and finally Lake Manyara Serena Lodge.
Included here are some of my favorite pictures I managed to take on the safari with my guests. We very much enjoyed our adventure together!
Lastly, here is the latest Migration Report:
Scattered herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle are currently ranging around Naabi Hill and the Triangle area of the Southern Serengeti. Medium sized herds were seen further south around the Matiti Plains. Immediately around the Ndutu Woodlands there is good viewing for giraffe, elephant, leopard and lion. To the west of Ndutu is currently the best area for cheetahs. The Central Serengeti including Seronera Valley is also great for game viewing currently especially Maasai and Sametu Kopjes with fantastic sightings of lion, elephant, buffalo and giraffe. Lastly, around Moru Kopjes there are huge herds of zebras and wildebeest that were arricing from Kusini area and we got lucky with rhino sightings there too. I am not sure if these herds around Moru will stay or go back to southern plains and Ndutu when there is more rain.
Thank you,
Claude Shitindi

Troubled university overhauls management
Beleaguered City University is to streamline its management structure from next month to bring the president closer to those implementing his policies.
Heads of faculties will be able to report directly to the president, Professor Chang Hsin-kang, avoiding layers of red tape and enabling him to keep on top of university events.
The university has been troubled by complaints of confused management and poor student performance in its law faculty, complaints which are believed to have spurred the overhaul.
The number of vice-presidents will be increased from four to five and they will have other duties from June 1 to ensure Professor Chang can carry out policies effectively.
'As efforts to recruit a deputy president have not been successful, I feel that I need a balanced team of vice-presidents,' Professor Chang said in an e-mail to his staff yesterday.
'A new position of vice-president for business and finance will be created.' The university now has vice-presidents for education, research, planning and information services, and institutional advancement.
James Ng, director of business and finance, will be promoted to vice-president for business and finance.
He will supervise three offices - business operations, facilities management and finance.
The other vice-presidents will be given more jobs. The vice-president for education, Professor Edmond Ko, will look at policies and plans relating to undergraduate programmes, student admission and student development.
He will also serve as dean of students and oversee the registrar's office and the school of continuing and professional education.
A new position of director of campus planning will be created to assist the vice-president for planning and information services to meet the university's ambitious campus construction plan, including student hostels.
Professor Chang also said deans of faculties, including the dean of the troubled School of Law, which is the Faculty of Law until June 30, will report directly to him.
'I believe that this new management structure will provide more effective support to the core functions of the university,' he said.
Richard Ho Yan-ki, dean of the business faculty, said the changes could help the president carry out policies.
He said faculties would also save time with work grouped under the five vice-presidents' offices.
But Mak Hoi-wah, elected staff representative to the university's council, warned of confusion and overlaps by having more vice-presidents.

Lupe Fiasco Calls Obama "The Biggest Terrorist" [News]
Lupe Fiasco has hit worldwide headlines after labelling President Obama "the biggestt terrorist".
"To me, the biggest terrorist is Obama in the United States of America," he said in an interview with CBS News' "What's Trending." "For me, I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism. The root cause of terrorism is the stuff that the U.S. government allows to happen, the foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists. And it's easy for us, because it's really just some oil that we can really get on our own."
The Chicago rapper also explained that he isn't a part of the political process in any way, despite addressing the many issues.
He continued, "I don't vote. I don't get involved in politics. Because it's meaningless, to be honest. First of all, I'm a real big believer if I'm going to vouch for someone, I'm going to stand behind everything they do. If I'm going to say I stand behind this person and write on a piece of paper that says I stand for this person, then I have to take responsibility for everything that he does. Because that's just how I am as a human being. Politicians aren't going to do that, because I don't want you to bomb some village in the middle of nowhere."
Recently Lupe also released this statement after the apparent death of terrorist Osama Bin Laden, he said, "Osama Dead!?! Afghan Operation done now??? Now kill poverty, wack schools, and US imperialism…"
Lupe Fiasco touches on some political issues on his single featuring Skylar Grey, "Words I Never Said" which you can listen to here.

Mystro – Dreamin [Music]
This is a brand new track from U.K Hip-Hop heavyweight Mystro, which is a remake of Lupe Fiasco's "Beamin" instrumental called "Dreamin". Mystro explained that a few personal issues have resulted in "Dreamin" being created, and the lyrics suggest Mystro is reflecting on the events which most Hip-Hop fans can relate to. There will be a brand new project called "Mystrogen" available to fans later in the year, and I fully expect to hear a lot more news and music ahead of the release. You can listen to Mystro – Dreamin on the audio player below.

Date of Stay: July, 2010
The website view of this park is very misleading. This park is very small and does not accommodate big rigs well at all. We sat outside our front door and could clearly see our neighbor inside their rigs and speak to them through the window. There is NO place to walk your dog except across a very busy street in a children's ball field. We had some issues with our rig, called repair and notified the manager we may be delayed in departing later than expected, she was not happy. We ultimately made the decision to leave early (without repairs) to accommodate the park. We were advised absolutely no refunds!
Date of Stay: May, 2010
This is a well maintained comfortable park. To be so close to the city, it was very quiet! Security patrolled the area and the site was nice and large. We will definitely keep it on our list for future stays.
Date of Stay: May, 2010
This is a wonderfully quaint park contained within the city park. We stayed for four nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. There is no sewer, but a dump station is available. We were also told the city plans to update the electric to include 50 amp as well. Nice little known park.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
We camped here during the height of summer. The park is very clean, sites are spacious and the restrooms maticulous! We did not shower in the park showers, but the staff made sure we saw them on arrival and knew where all amenities were. The cable was out of service throughout the park: don't know why. Very little shade, but many trees planted for the future. Overall a very pleasant park. We will definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
We stayed here in August, so the humidity was a little high. This is a beautiful campground with lake and woods nearby. Staff is very helpful. We were here for 2 weeks with no TV and never missed it for a minute. Close to Hot Springs for "touristy" fun and shopping. We will return again and again!!!
Date of Stay: February, 2009
We camped here in February into March. Staff was wonderful, park has excellent amenities - even a small game room for the kids! Areas along the river to fish or just watch the water, deer came up to the rig in herds. We have stayed at others in the area, but will definitely come back here with friends and family.
Date of Stay: September, 2008
This is by far our favorite campground. We have stayed here several times a year for the past 4 years and have never been disappointed. The park is secluded, but close enough to town to be convenient. Lots of shopping available nearby if you like walking main street shops.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
What a beautiful park!! We camped here in July and were so pleased. The staff is friendly and helpful, surroundings are gorgeous, and the park is centrally located for area tourist spots. We will definitely be back!

I have a issue with my brand new 2007 Honda Accord. I purchased this car Apr 13, 2007. Unfortunately, I brought this car back to the dealership on Apr 20, 2007 becuase of a serious leak from an engine block. A couple of days after they inspected my car, they called me and said " we found a crack on the engine block. So we have to replace the whole engine block." My car mileages is only 391 miles. Also, it is a factory defect and not an ordinary problem. So, I asked America Honda Customer Service to replace it with another brand new car, but they rejected my request. I think Honda's quality control is getting an issue more and more, even though people believe that Hoda has a world best quality control. I'm wondering whether there are more people who are struggling with this kind of case of Honda vehicle and is it fair that they rejected my request. I just signed on the contract for a brand new car, not for the car which need to replace a motor. Thanks Samuel Kim
They will replace the motor with a brand new Honda motor.This is an unusual failure for a Honda but they are trying to correct it.The more you complain about it the less likely they will do their very best to fix the car right.Give them a chance to get the car up to top condition for you and drive it for a while,you might be very pleasantly surprised.
Sam , I understand your frustration with your situation however Honda is responsible for the replacement of only the defective part or parts . NOTHING in life is perfect and that includes Honda . They do however continue to manufacturer quality automobiles on a consistent basis .

Scouting Tim Hortons
Pressure is likely to mount on Tim Hortons Inc. now that it's in the crosshairs of a second American hedge fund.
Scout Capital Management says in a regulatory filing that it has boosted its Tim Hortons stake to 5.5 per cent, from 1.5 per cent earlier, and that it plans to raise certain issues with the Canadian coffee-and-doughnut chain.
Scout's interest follows a push just a couple of months ago by Highfields Capital, which urged Tims to hold back on U.S. expansion and drive up profitability via other means.
Yesterday, in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Scout said it now holds 8.4 million shares of Tim Hortons and has been talking with the company's senior executive.
The hedge fund made all-encompassing, typical statements in the document, but the message appeared clear.
"The reporting persons have engaged and expect to continue to engage in discussions with senior management of the issuer with respect to the issuer's optimal capital structure, capital expenditures, timing and magnitude of share repurchases, management compensation metrics, and technology investments, among other matters," Scout said.
"Reporting persons may have engaged, or may in the future also engage, in discussions with management, the board of directors, other shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, management, operations, assets, financial condition, governance, strategy and future plans of the Issuer in addition to those more specific matters addressed in the previous sentence."
A Tim Hortons spokesman said the chain doesn't talk about meetings with individual stockholders, but added that "we are focused on continuing our track record of creating shareholder value, and welcome feedback from all of our shareholders."
A spokesperson for Scout said the hedge fund is not commenting further.
Tim Hortons, which just last month appointed former Nestlé executive Marc Caira as its chief executive officer, cited "challenging" conditions when it posted first-quarter results in early May.
"In Canada, we believe consumer confidence and discretionary spending have been negatively impacted by rising unemployment, high consumer debt and the cooling housing market," it said at the time.
"U.S. consumers are also facing elevated unemployment relative to pre-recessionary levels, as well as concerns arising from changes to fiscal policy. In response to the low-growth environment, competitive activity in the consumer sector remains intense, impacting the performance of many participants in the sector."
But it also stressed that it's "taking important steps to continue to expand and enhance our system, improve the guest experience and build value for our shareholders."

HBC shuffles ranks
Hudson's Bay Co. shuffled its top ranks today, moving the well-known Bonnie Brooks to vice-chair from president, and Liz Rodbell to president from executive vice-president.
HBC, which has turned around its Canadian Bay stores, though its Lord & Taylor unit in the United States lags, said the transition will be done by early next year.
"This new structure will continue to drive our long-term growth strategy, as we build upon the company's momentum toward revitalizing its banners and product offerings, and strengthening the customer experience," said chief executive officer Richard Baker.
Verizon eyes Canada
A top-ranking executive at Verizon Communications Inc. has confirmed the U.S. telecom giant is mulling an entry into Canada's $19-billion wireless market in the wake of a report this week by The Globe and Mail.
Chief financial officer Fran Shammo told The Wall Street Journal today that New York-based Verizon is in the preliminary stages of weighing a potential expansion into Canada.
"We're looking at the opportunity," Mr. Shammo said in an interview at the Journal's CFO Network conference in Washington. "This is just us dipping our toe in the water."
On Monday, The Globe reported that Verizon has held exploratory talks with investors in Wind Mobile in recent weeks, but those discussions are still at an early stage.
Exit, stage right?
Will 2013 mark the end of Ben Bernanke's reign at the world's most powerful central bank?
It's growing increasingly likely.
Observers certainly see it that way, the latest evidence coming from President Barack Obama, who said late yesterday that the Federal Reserve chairman has done "an outstanding job" in these troubled times but that has stayed in the post "a lot longer than he wanted or he was supposed to."
This is a crucial year for the Fed as it heads toward the expected pullback in stimulus but remains focused on unemployment, which the central bank has said must fall to 6.5 per cent before it raises interest rates again.
"Add this to the fact that Bernanke is taking a pass on one of the most important monetary policy events of the year at the Jackson Hole, Wyoming, [conference] sponsored by the Kansas City Federal Reserve, and it seems fairly likely that Bernanke will be stepping down as Fed chairman when his term expires on Jan. 31, 2014," said Derek Holt and Dov Zigler of Bank of Nova Scotia, referring to the president's comments.
G8 expected to unveil tax initiative
The G8 leaders are expected to announce greater co-operation on tax transparency as well as a move toward more disclosure of corporate ownership when their meeting ends today, The Globe and Mail's Paul Waldie reports from Enniskillend, Northern Ireland.
Both issues are seen as critical to developing countries, particularly in Africa, and leaders from Senegal, Liberia, Ethiopia and the African Union will attend the meetings at the Lough Erne Resort to press their case.
But there are stumbling blocks at the G8. Canada is believed to be resisting some of the measures, something that has surprised advocates.

Lessons from Venus
by Rasmus Benestad and Ray Pierrehumbert
A special report in The Observer on Sunday (April 9) titled 'Venus – The Hot Spot', provides a well-written account on a mission called the Venus Express. The Venus express is an European Space Agency (ESA) mission to probe the the atmosphere of Venus and address questions regarding the differences between the climates on Venus and Earth. According to the plans, the probe will enter the final orbit around Venus in May 2006, i.e. within about a month.
What relevance does a mission to Venus have for a blog like RealClimate? Primarily, Venus offers scientists the chance to see how the same basic physics used to study Earth's climate operates under a very different set of circumstances. In one sense, Venus is rather similar to Earth: it has nearly the same mass as Earth, and while its orbit is somewhat closer to the Sun, that effect is more than made up for by the sunlight reflected from Venus' thick cloud cover. Because of the cloud cover, the surface temperature of Venus would be a chilly -42C if were not for the greenhouse effect of its atmosphere. In reality, the surface of Venus, at 740K (467C) is even hotter than the surface of Mercury, which is a (relatively!) pleasant 440K. Per unit of surface area, the atmosphere of Venus has as much mass as about 100 Earth atmospheres, and it is almost pure CO2. This accounts for its very strong greenhouse effect. In contrast, the CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere accounts for a mere .00056 of the full mass of one Earth atmosphere.
Despite the fact that Venus has vastly more CO2 in its atmosphere than Earth, the same basic principles govern the operation of the greenhouse effect for both planets: the fact that air cools by expansion as it rises means that the upper parts of the atmosphere are colder than the surface, while the opacity of greenhouse gases to infrared means that infrared radiation can only escape from the upper portions of the atmosphere. Since the rate of radiation goes down with temperature, the net effect allows the planet to lose energy at a rate much lower than it would if the radiation from the surface escaped directly to space. Although most of the warm surface temperature of Venus is accounted for by its CO2 greenhouse effect, there are suggestions that it is warmer than it should be on the basis of CO2 alone. There are various theories that have been proposed for the source of the additional greenhouse effect, and sorting this out will be one of the major objectives of Venus Express.
Another interesting difference between Venus and Earth is that Venus has a very slow rotation rate, taking 243 Earth days to complete one rotation. This is actually somewhat longer than its year. Despite the low rotation rate of the surface, the upper atmosphere is whizzing along at a rate of about one rotation every four Earth days. Pinning down the mechanisms responsible for this super-rotation will teach us much about atmospheric dynamics in general. In particular, it would be interesting to know if there are circumstances in which the Earth's atmosphere could kick over into super-rotation.

I defer to this statement to a point.
Rubber fuel line will over time "rot, crack and leak".
Best choice is to use seamless steel fuel line with the correct fittings from the mechanical fuel pump to the carb.
Next would be to use aluminum fuel line; although it is subject to cracking and if it rubs on any surface it will wear thru quickly.
A good choice for a flexible line would be to use something like Russell Proflex hose which is a braided stainless outer cover over a CPE inner liner. This is also subject to "rot, crack and leak" over time though and the inner lining is not visible and therefore can not be inspected for condition.
Worst choice is the semi-transparent colored plastic fuel line that was very popular in the '50's with multiple carbs and is still available today. It definitely will discolor, harden, crack and even melt at low temperature in a very short period of time. This should
be used except for show purposes.
Any fuel line you decide to use should be installed using the correct fittings, routed away from heat source (exhaust) and moving parts (fan belt). The line should also not be subject to rubbing against anything to prevent any abrasion which will cause the line to wear prematurely.
A routine inspection as to the condition of the line should also be done.
A short flexible line (usually rubber) is normally connected from the mechanical fuel pump to the metal fuel line that comes from the fuel tank. This is to allow the engine movement to not crack or break the fuel line to the mechanical pump. This line definitely should be inspected often.

We may like lip-synching to Grease, but when it becomes a mantra for the finish of our moisturizer, we feel like a beauty school dropout. Finding the right dry-touch formula is challenging, but this cream offers the right amount of moisture without any heaviness or residue. After just two weeks of use, a whopping 90 percent of study participants noticed an improvement in their skin. Looks like this is one relationship that'll last longer than a summer.
I know that this product says mattifying moisturizer, but I actually have been using it after my night serum in the evening. I notice that it is not as hydrating as other moisturizers (so perfect for summer, not for winter), but has made the texture and tone of my skin look good. I only wish it wasn't so expensive. You don't need a lot, so I think it will last a while. I will have to save my money and my points for this purchase.4
I thought this moisturizer was OK but not really for me. I think if you had really oily skin, this would work well. It went on very dry and if you don't move quickly enough, it's hard to spread it out over your face. Anyway, not a bad moisturizer, but too dry for me. I also prefer to have an SPF in my moisturizer.3
This product does what it says it will do---and does it well! You will be amazed at how easily this primer goes on. It is creamy and light, a perfect layer for your foundation. And it adds zero shine, so even without foundation you can have moist skin with a matte finish. Love this! My only wish is for My Prime to change the color of the tube so that it will be easier to find it in my cosmetics bag. :)5

Circle is a place women can come home to themselves and feel the support of other women. In circle, women are not "empowered." Instead, they have an opportunity to remember their power and to discover that being an agent of change is not about doing it alone.

Unless the communities that typically receive services begin to serve, to stretch more than just their hands but their own hearts, they cannot experience the power they have to transform their own lives and own communities.
Change.org destroys the myth that there are not enough seconds in the day to do the things we really care about. We are change agents that can move from idea to action.
In corporate corridors, when change agents are perceived as an invading cancer and rejected, there is no popular uprising to counter that force.

Free Slurpee day gets sloppy
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — All did not go smoothly during Free Slurpee day at a Vancouver, Wash., 7-Eleven store.
About 30 people were inside one of the convenience stores when a man threw the icy beverage into an employee's face Thursday afternoon, Vancouver police spokeswoman Kim Kapp told The Columbian.
Other customers held the man until police arrived, Kapp said.
Officers gave the customer a warning and told him to leave. Police say the man wanted to go back inside and apologize but police told him to move along.
The Columbian story doesn't say what started the Slurpee tossing.
Each year on July 11, 7-Eleven offers free small Slurpee drinks to customers.

California Transparency in Supply Chains Act
Effective January 1, 2012, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) will require companies that sell goods in California to make certain disclosures regarding their efforts to address slavery and human trafficking. The law is primarily intended to ensure consumers have access to detailed information about the human rights practices behind the production of goods that they buy, to assist in buying decisions. Fruit of the Loom, Inc. and our global affiliates, have a strong, comprehensive social compliance program, with a progressive Code of Conduct that includes third party monitoring. We do not tolerate human rights abuses of any kind.
Our company's Code of Conduct, available here, reflects our core operating principles, emphasizing respect for people and adherence to laws and ethical standards. We believe that workers at our facilities and our suppliers' facilities have the right to freely choose employment, and the right to a workplace free from abuse, harassment and unlawful discrimination.
Slavery and human trafficking can take many forms, including child labor and forced labor. To ensure we only do business with firms that share our principles, we screen contractors and use independent third party monitoring firms to conduct extensive assessments throughout our supply chain. Specifically, our program includes:
Supplier Screenings
As part of our contractor selection process, the company performs preliminary screenings to identify areas of risk and weaknesses in social compliance policies and practices.
Supplier Verification and Audits
Our verification and assessment program is designed to evaluate suppliers' compliance with our Code of Conduct on an annual basis through the use of onsite assessments conducted by third party monitoring firms. In addition to the annual assessments, the Fair Labor Association conducts assessments of a sampling of our facilities throughout the year. A finding of noncompliance with our Code of Conduct and other assessment criteria relating to forced labor or child labor may be based on a supplier's failure to adequately document compliance, even if no actual forced labor or child labor violation has occurred. An audit that discloses serious violations or weaknesses in a supplier's policy or practices regarding forced labor and child labor may lead to suspension or termination of our business with the supplier. We have zero tolerance for forced labor and child labor. If any such practices are revealed in assessments, we require suppliers to rectify the problem, and, if they fail to do so, we immediately terminate the business relationship for a period of no less than 12 months.
Internal Accountability Standards and Corrective Action Plans
Following assessments, suppliers are required to complete corrective action plans, which are subject to our review and approval. These plans outline how a supplier intends to resolve and prevent future occurrence of issues revealed in assessments. As appropriate, our assessors conduct a follow-up assessment at the facility to check progress on the corrective action plan and confirm resolution of any child labor or forced labor issues.
Supplier Agreements
Our supplier and contractor agreements and purchase order terms require compliance with international standards and applicable laws and regulations regarding forced labor and child labor, as specified in our Code of Conduct.
Our Partners
We collaborate with a number of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to raise awareness of social compliance issues, particularly child labor and forced labor matters. We regularly monitor reports and follow the developments of leading NGOs in this field, such as the Fair Labor Association, International Labor Organization/International Finance Corporation, Better Work Program, FUNDAHRSE and Fundemas.
Material Certification
As a part of supplier screenings, our authorized suppliers of components and our manufacturing contractors are required to sign a contract that commits them to adhere to our Code of Conduct, including its prohibitions on the use of Forced Labor, and to sign separate Acknowledgments that they understand and will comply with same. Each partner producing cotton apparel for the company is required to sign a statement confirming Uzbekistan cotton was not used in production of our goods. The United States Department of State has identified the widespread use of forced labor and child labor in the cotton sector of that country.
Training and Awareness
Our Code of Conduct specifically prohibits forced labor, slave labor and human trafficking, and is distributed annually to employees and contractors. Our Code of Conduct is translated into the local language(s) and any language(s) that make up 10% of the workforce in supplier facilities. Our contractors are required to read and post our Code of Conduct and provide training to their employees. Compliance with these requirements are verified during third party assessments. Our third party monitors are experts in recognizing and detecting forced labor, slave labor and human trafficking practices and conditions.

In a recent blog post by Tania Browne at SciLogs, she looks at the information available at the clinical world's fingertips to make clinical trials better and more informative for everyone. But there's one major setback. Data is not being made readily available to the public to learn from. The most common ways to retrieve data now are though journal publications and trial registries, but there is so much more data below the surface that can allow doctors and patients to truly understand the drug, it's clinical trial and the way it works for humans.
Browne points to four things that can make clinical trial data more understandable and better usable for doctors, patients and others in the clinical trial community. Registration is key for all clinical trials. She goes beyond just simply registraign all trials going forward but also points to trails that took place that took before this regulation was in place - such as the trials for high blood pressure and aspirin. What information could be gathered from the now-standard information such as the protocol, information about participants and their informed consent, the intervention being investigated.
Summaries are also something that should be available - for both completed and abandoned trials. Of the 635 clinical trials completed by 2008, only 20% had released a summary within a year. The median average for a summary being completed was 51 months, over four years. Browne suggests that companies who are producing full reports internally should share those publicly.
The conclusion of the article is that so many healthcare decisions are being made with out the data that is available. All Trials is trying to push this matter to help this information go public. Pharma companies have the data and should make it public so that consumers and physicians have a better understanding of where the medications come from, what the side effects are and quite possibly why it is or isn't a medication that should be used.
This fall at the Clinical Collaboration Congress., Conference Chair Kenneth I. Kaitin, PhD, Professor and Director, Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development Tufts University School of Medicine will be on hand to present Improving the Drug Development Process through Risk-Sharing Collaborations which will look at how using pre-collected data can impact the Pharma indstury in a positive way and make the research process more effective, stable place for drug innovation. The Clinical Collaboration Congress will take place this September 25-27, 2013 in Boston, MA. For more information on Ken's presentation and the rest of the program, download the agenda. If you'd like to join us, as a reader of this blog, when you register to join us and mention priority code XP1825BLOG, you'll save 15% off the standard rate.
Do you think it would be beneficial to the industry to release the data from previous clinical trials to the public? Why or why not?
The Partnerships in Clinical Trials Blog focuses on optimization intelligence, regulatory trends and globalization strategies for both sponsors and CROs. It is supported by a number of industry events.

Hi TDHers!
Have some slack time between commissions, so I took the opportunity to complete a small project that I've been wanting
to do for a long time now--namely, make a display plaque for my helmet collection! Since my helmet collection encompasses
lids from the McQuarrie concepts through the screen-used buckets, the theme I chose was: BOBA FETT FROM SKETCH TO SCREEN.
First and foremost, a giant THANK YOU to Mynock for helping me out with this!! He has his own 3D printing set-up, and he
was instrumental in making the lettering for me.
I contacted Mynock about doing the lettering, and he had me send him the text that I wanted, along with a file containing
the font. The font is "Viner Hand ITC." I explained how large I wanted the plaque to be and he "grew" the letters for me!
He said (if I remember correctly) the material is just ABS plastic. Here's how the letters looked when they arrived.
The extremely thin film you can see around some of the letters was taken care of with about 15 minutes of sanding. I then primed
the letters with some Duplicolor filler primer and let them dry overnight.
I chose that font specifically for the type of finish I had in mind. I wanted a weathered, rusty metal look, so I looked into several
methods of achieving this type of finish. I settled on a faux finish kit by Sophisticated Finishes. It's their Rust Antiquing Set.
The kit contains 2 products: a water-based paint that contains iron particles, and a chemical solution that actually oxidizes the
iron in the first part. Pretty clever, these humans.
I applied part 1, the iron paint, and let it dry. Since it's a water-based product it dried very quickly. I did a second coat just to make
sure I had good coverage. After only about 30 minutes or so, I laid the painted letters on a large plastic lid from a storage bin and flicked
the rust solution on with an old toothbrush. The rusting solution is just a water-thin mix of chemicals. If you've ever used a product
called "Blacken It," it's pretty much the same thing. In the morning, the letters had rusted out nicely! Here's an example.
I thought of a couple of ways to mount the letters, and for now I went with simply gluing them onto glass in a floating frame. I got the frame
for about $12.00, so if I decide to do something else down the road, it wasn't a huge investment. To glue the letters onto the glass, I used
Testors Clear Parts Cement. This is made for attaching parts like canopies or windows. It's sort of a modelers' version of white (Elmer's) glue.
It dries quickly and it's crystal clear. It's this stuff.
I lined up the letters and used some strips of painters tape to mark out my working area, and to keep the letters straight.
After the glue dried and I assembled the frame, this is what the finished plaque looks like.
In different light, the rust patina really changes tone! It looks very realistic.
Here are a couple of close ups of the letters to show the unevenness of the rust.
So that's it! The plaque will reside on top of my two Ikea Detolf cases, and I will look at it and enjoy it. LOL
Thanks again to Mynock for "growing" the lettering for me!

First off these certain group of people that have an iranian accent, that one can tell is from another country. First I believe these same group of people were threatening citizens of america that they are being sued and if the citzens do not come up with money, they will be facing jail time.
These group of people usually know where you work, where you live, most of your phone numbers that citzens have to keep changing because it becomes constant harrassement.
Now these group of people have changed there MO. They no how to use the computer system well, so educated in that, but not very educated in English. So when I hear some one from a third world country offering myself something better than I have in the United States. I hesitate. Yes, I did recieve a call from one of them, the number is 702359559, we as americans can start jamming their phone lines as they so like to do to us, and prey on the innocent.
These group of people prey on nieve, desperate people that want freedom from financial burden that our country brings to us.
But, hey, they have no learned to apply for government assistance yet. It seems to be the government is eager to give to immigrants, but not US citizens.. Of course, the government is probably helping them fund thier equipment so the American people..figure out the rest.

Re: FDA Warning Letter Regarding Tobacco Retailer Inspection Violations
Reference Number: 13CO001899AB
Dear Sir or Madam:
This Warning Letter is notification from the Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), advising you that King Soopers #69 was observed to be in violation of federal tobacco laws and regulations. Violations of 21 C.F.R 1140 were observed during an inspection that occurred on July 20, 2011, during a two-part inspection that occurred on April 16 and 27, 2012, and during a two-part inspection that occurred on August 27 and 28, 2013. Please be advised that additional violations observed during any subsequent inspection may lead to a Civil Money Penalty (CMP), according to the schedule provided later in this document, and/or a No-Tobacco-Sale Order. Your response is requested in 15 working days.
On August 27 and 28, 2013, an inspector representing the FDA completed a two-part inspection of the establishment, located at 4271 South Buckley Road, Aurora, CO 80013. During this inspection the establishment was in violation because it has a self-service display of smokeless tobacco in a facility not restricted to adults at all times.
This inspection revealed that the establishment sells, distributes, advertises, and/or promotes cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco, which requires that the establishment and its owners comply with federal laws and regulations governing such practices. The violation observed during the August 27 and 28, 2013, two-part inspection includes the following:
1. The establishment has a self-service display or an "impersonal" mode of sale that provides a consumer direct access to smokeless tobacco without restricting the facility to adults at all times. Specifically, on August 28, 2013, the inspector observed an unlocked glass cabinet containing smokeless tobacco on the main sales floor.
A retailer MUST sell cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco only in a direct, face-to-face exchange between the retailer and the consumer and cannot use a self-service display unless a retailer ensures that minors are neither present nor permitted to enter at any time. Failure to do so violates 21 C.F.R. § 1140.16(c).
The establishment fails to ensure that minors are neither present nor permitted to enter at any time as the establishment is open to the general public during business hours. Therefore, the establishment is not restricted. It is your responsibility to ensure that no person younger than 18 years of age is present or permitted to enter the establishment at any time, or to ensure that all cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, and/or smokeless tobacco products are only sold in a direct, face-to-face exchange.
Previously, on October 20, 2011, CTP issued a Warning Letter to Dillon Companies, Inc. d/b/a King Soopers #69 for violations observed on July 20, 2011. During that inspection the establishment was in violation because it sold cigarettes to a minor and failed to check the minor's identification. Subsequently, on August 30, 2012, CTP sought a CMP in the amount of $250 from Dillon Companies, Inc. d/b/a King Soopers #69 for a violation observed on April 27, 2012. During that inspection the establishment was in violation because it had a self-service display of smokeless tobacco in a facility not restricted to adults at all times. You are receiving another Warning Letter because the violation observed during your most recent inspection occurred outside the statutory period for FDA to seek a CMP at this time. Please be advised that additional violations observed during any subsequent inspection may lead to a CMP, according to the schedule provided later in this document, and/or a No-Tobacco-Sale Order.
The listed violation causes your smokeless tobacco to be "misbranded" under section 903 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. § 387c).
You should immediately correct the violation listed above. Failure to correct the violation may result in FDA taking regulatory action without further notice. These actions may include, but are not limited to, civil money penalty, no-tobacco-sale order, seizure, and/or injunction.
The violation indicated in this letter may not be a complete list of violations at the establishment. The establishment must comply with all the applicable laws and regulations. For more information on these requirements, helpful resources for retailers, a database of inspections, and free Break the Chain of Tobacco Addiction materials, visit our website at http://www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts.
You have 15 working days from the date you receive this letter to respond. In your response, explain your plan for correcting the listed violation and preventing future violations. Include a telephone number and address. Note your reference number of 13CO001899AB in your response and mail it to:
SP-WL Response

Second within a 12 month period
Third within a 24 month period
Fourth within a 24 month period
Fifth within a 36 month period

Are you a regular visitor to Veoh, RapidShare, MegaUpload or even MegaVideo?
If so, this is the best add-on for you, ever. Provided that you're on the Firefox platform! (I doubt it'll be problem anyway, since analytics reports that more than 60% of users that visited NotCliche are Firefox users)
Don't you just hate the waiting time for Veoh, MegaUpload or even MegaVideo? Illimitux effectively removes all these limitation, by simply redirecting you to their site to "watch" the video. Basically, what the guys on that site have done is some magical stuff that allows you to skip the waiting times and get straight to the content that you want.
How it works? Don't ask me, I don't know what these people did to make it work so nicely for us. One thing's for sure, this add-on works, and it works extremely well. I was downloading a couple of stuff off MegaUpload last year and the add-on helped me to skip the 45 seconds wait time for the free download. Same for MegaVideo, since I was able to stream the videos without giving the site giving me "you have reached your maximum alloted blahblahblah".
Download it straight. It's that easy.
Of course, nothing is perfect. Getting this add-on does not mean that you will get premium access to the videos (faster load time, and all those advantages), but rather, this just means that you'll be able to skip the waiting time, thus enabling you to get straight to the content. I shouldn't really blabber here, so I guess I'll just leave the link here (get the add-on here) and you guys can get to enjoy all the awesomeness in your browser.
For those that are somewhat cautious about installing add-ons onto your own browser, but still want to use their awesome service, you can actually copy and paste the link on their website (check out their site here), and they will do the rest for you. It's that simple.
Either way, the best add-on for your Firefox. Especially for those with ISP problems such getting "this IP is downloading something" when you've just opened up a RapidShare window!

Theory Colloquium
Non-perturbative Gauge-Higgs Unification
→ Europe/Zurich
4-3-006 - TH Conference Room (CERN)
4-3-006 - TH Conference Room
100Show room on map
Gauge-Higgs Unification models are theories where the Higgs field is identified with some of the extra-dimensional components of the gauge field. One motivation for these models is that the extra-dimensional gauge symmetry protects the Higgs potential from divergences in the ultra-violet cut-off. Perturbative studies indicate that fermions are necessary to trigger the Higgs mechanism. Given the non-renormalizability of gauge theories in dimensions higher than four, we study non-perturbatively the simplest model which is a five-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory on a orbifold. The starting point is the formulation on a Euclidean lattice. We will present results from a semi-analytic approach using a mean-field expansion and from Monte Carlo simulations. These results indicate that the Higgs mechanism takes place without fermions and support an alternative view of the lattice orbifold as a five-dimensional bosonic superconductor.

Beta Stages for an Adventure Mode?
I was looking back at the old information back when the game was called Title Fight, and I ended up looking at the old unused/modified levels again. The levels that were removed looked very fun, I'm kind of confused why they didn't use them (the levels we have now are good also). The old stages also look more platformer like, so I was thinking, why not add an Adventure mode, that way these stages could be used? It would go sort of like Subspace Emissary from Smash Bros., only team multi-player would be in it though, so you and friends/random people can take on CPU enemies. Although there wouldn't be a story since that's already in-game, you just pick a level and play it, like Uncharteds Co-Op. New stages could be added as DLC, What do you all think?
Metropolis Beta Stage
Dreamscape Beta Stage (Useful for a Survival Stage in Adventure Mode)
Re: Beta Stages for an Adventure Mode?
Wow, those levels look cool. Well, the metropolis one is pretty bland, but the Dreamscape beta is beautiful.
Anyway, an adventure mode might be cool. I'm not sure how much I'd be into it, but conceptually, it could be fun.

Date of Stay: September, 2012
We chose this location as a good jump off point to Mammoth cave, for that purpose it worked out well. This campground is pretty remote for supplies and at least 20 min from the nearest shopping area. That said, it's also a good 30 min from Mammoth cave. Our registration was fast and simple through reserve America. We were given a garbage bag and map at the park entrance and we were off to the campsite. The campsite was well kept and the area appeared to be in good repair. Our biggest problem was the cleanliness of the bath house. There were dead bugs all over, and I mean all over everything, to include the sink counter, the urinal, the toilet and the showers. As for the live bugs they weren't that much of a problem but they need to install a fan to move the air and keep bugs from settling in. The view we had from our campsite was incredible, overlook of the lake breathtaking especially the next morning when the sun came up. We would camp there again when in the area.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
This park was a wonderful park to stay, it is part of a wildlife preserve so there are a variety of animals to be seen here, which helps feel like you are in a very special place. Our children loved this park because of the wildlife and park activities. There are two lakes on this park with multiple places to fish, boat, swim, play volleyball, go to playgrounds, have picnics and just about anything else you could want to do. My only warning is to make sure you lock up your garbage overnight because the raccoons will knock over the garbage cans or take food right off your table, so be ready for these animal thugs. Animal interactions also included wild turkey, deer and a huge variety of birds. The park attendants were pleasant and helpful, the nightly price was great, the facilities were great (but sometimes the campers who used them were slobs) and the security/safety of the park was nice. We arrived here on a weekday so we had the campground to ourselves until the weekend when it started to fill up and get busy. We will return over and over again as soon as we can.
Date of Stay: March, 2010
This park is beautiful and remote. It takes a long time to get to this park partly because it's on the far end of an island and the speed limit is very slow. All in all though, that's great because the benefit of this pristine, primitive campground by far outweighs the lack of tourist food and entertainment. The nightly price when we stayed here, was very reasonable and the facilities were very clean. We stayed at campsite 60 and were lucky to reserve that spot because everything else had been booked up. We used the online service (Reserve America website) to reserve our spot. The only downside was that there was only one bathroom/shower available for use, the other one was under repair. The staff was friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to returning to this park when the weather cooperates a little better. We were here at the beginning of March and it was unusually cold, so mosquitos were not an issue but the thunderstorms were. Great park!
Date of Stay: March, 2010
This park has a few great things going for it, the relatively private beach access, the fishing pier, the clean bathrooms/facilities and it's proximity to stores and restaurants. On the downside the campsite we stayed at (#116) was very difficult to level our trailer on, and was listed as crushed concrete. There was no crushed concrete on this site. There are some campsites that are concrete pads and some are crushed concrete but not this one. Another thing I didn't like was that there was one of 3 gates to allow foot traffic through to the beach that was going right through this campsite. Because of this I felt a bit uneasy as we had a bunch of people eyeballing our belongings, my family and our campsite. I think this was poor planning of the campground layout. As a security issue this gate was locked at night and only one gate was usable after that for which you needed to know the security code to go through. In my opinion, they should only have one entrance with a concrete sidewalk that does not go through anyone's campsite. Also, the cost per night was more expensive than I thought it should be, especially for those from out of state. Several fellow campers complained about the cost to stay here. Many of the fellow campers I talked with complained that they felt as though they were being gauged for being from out of state. On a few occasions I found the bathroom facilities were abused by campers but the staff corrected any problems reasonably fast so the facilities were always usable the next day. The campground needs to make an effort to improve their power and water source poles as just the act of hooking up your power or water felt as though these hook ups were going to break and fall apart As a matter of fact, when my neighbor unhooked his water hose to leave, he broke the pvc pipe and flooded my campground. I had to find the water valve in the ground to prevent a further mess. Overall this campground is ok, but could be so much better if they would invest more money and thought into maintenance and layout. The picnic area, the store and playground were great and on several occasions we did see security drive by making their rounds. We might return if we are in the area, but I think we will look elsewhere first.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
Staff was friendly and helpful. We prefer to use campsite bathroom facilities, and theirs was dirty at all times with a layer of hair, grime, and soap scum on the walls the whole time we were there. The facilities did not appear maintained any of the time we were there as the condition of the trash, showers and sinks never improved. I had to unclog the drain in the bathroom myself. In the women's bathroom, the shower stopped working all of the sudden, and instead of fixing the problem, they instructed my wife to use the men's bathroom (not a problem but we have 2 little girls as well). The washer and dryers worked most of the time, but occasionally the machines just didn't work. The pool was closed because staff said the liner needed to be repaired which was to be repaired the next day. The next day my wife asked if pool lining was repaired; they then told her that the pump needed to be replaced. Finally we were able to go swimming 3 days after we arrived but there was still a hole in the lining and the pump was the same old one that was there all along. Staff was understanding about our need to suddenly leave as our visit was cut short due to family emergency. Camp sites were very nice and if we didn't need to use facilities or pool I think we would have been very pleased overall. Facilities and pool needed some attention. I believe part of the problem with this RV park is that since it is shared with a mobile home park they forget about the RVs. Also, it was somewhat strange to have a campsite that was shared with mobile home park. Office and signage appear old and worn. Wi-Fi was not free according to staff, but had no difficulty getting online briefly by using someone else's unsecured access. We would not stay here again unless in motorhome. For us the campsite's strength was it's location that suited our needs perfectly.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
Wow, after a long drive on Hwy 280, we were glad to find this gem. Our campsite was right on the water with a 25ft dock. We loved the fact that we could go swimming from the campsite, not only restricted to the beach areas. The camp area was well maintained, ease of hook up was nice and overall feeling of safety was good as there are multiple gates throughout the park. Nearby bathroom facilities were clean and well maintained. Everything was easily accessible by bicycle. My only complaint is that the camp store is expensive (it's staff was not friendly) and the maps are horrible due to over copying. If you like to use the provided BBQ grills and tables pay attention because not all campsites have them. There were many campsites available and the camp office was helpful in deciding where to make camp. We had no problem letting our children play freely in the park because of the overall family vibe of the park. We are looking forward to the next time we stay there.
Date of Stay: February, 2009
It has great, safe and well maintained campsites. The bathrooms and showers were clean and plentiful, located throughout park. The surrounding Forrest is in a state of decay thanks to recent hurricane damage. There are flat roads for cycling with easy access by bike to surrounding businesses and beach. There are level and easy to back into asphalt camping pads at the campsite. When the sun goes down don't get caught outside unless covered in mosquito repellent. We didn't see many shaded campsites, everything appeared exposed to the Florida sun. There are shopping, stores and restaurants located within a 10 minute drive. The washroom was in need of updating and wi-fi is only accessible when near the recreation room. We're looking forward to the next trip to beach.
