Objective: We hypothesized that intermittent hypoxia might influence serum substance P levels, and that this effect might in turn contribute in excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
Patients and methods: Fifty-five patients with newly diagnosed OSAS and 15 age-matched nonapneic control subjects were enrolled in this study. Full polysomnography was performed in all patients. Single blood samples were drawn between 8:00 am and 9:00 am after the sleep study. Substance P levels were analyzed with a competitive enzyme immunoassay (substance P EIA kit; Cayman Chemical; Ann Arbor, MI).
Results: There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, smoking habit, and snoring between the two groups. Serum substance P levels in the OSAS group were significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.0001). Serum substance P levels were positively correlated with rapid eye movement sleep (r = 0.330, p = 0.049) and slow-wave sleep (r = 0.324, p = 0.049) phases. Serum substance P levels were negatively correlated with Epworth sleepiness scale score (r = − 0.253, p = 0.048), number of total apneas during the night (r = − 0.247, p = 0.036), number of respiratory events during the night (r = − 0.266, p = 0.024), apnea-hypopnea index (r = − 0.287, p = 0.015), respiratory arousal index (r = − 0.267, p = 0.026), time spent in apnea and hypopnea (r = − 0.307, p = 0.01), average oxygen desaturation (r = − 0.265, p = 0.026), and oxygen desaturation index (r = − 0.254, p = 0.031).
Conclusion: We concluded that EDS seen in some of the OSAS patients might be associated with various pathophysiologic mechanisms including substance P levels.

Diablo 3 with Havok and DX 10.1?
Since the third part of the monster hunt was officially introduced and the first in-game scenes were revealed, the question about the technologies in use arises.
According to the Frequently Asked Questions of the game website, a Havok support is part of Blizzard's engine. Until now there is no information about the hardware requirements of Diablo 3. They are said to be delivered at a later date.
Prior reports about the use of DirectX 10.1 in Diablo 3 have not been confirmed on the official website.

Center Point animal refuge owner challenges IOSHA findings
The owner of a western Indiana animal refuge fined $69,000 by the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration for safety violations discovered after a tiger mauled a woman at the center says he is contesting some of the agency's findings.
Exotic Feline Rescue Center owner Joe Taft tells The Herald-Times it would costs millions of dollars to replace the fences or make them higher as IOSHA officials want. He says he has received increased donations, but not enough to pay for the required changes.
In June a worker suffered was injured at the animal refuge near Center Point about 60 miles southwest of Indianapolis when she failed to secure a sliding cage gate.
Taft says he plans to meet again with IOSHA officials to try to reach an agreement.

AUD/JPY: buy targets - 92.00 and 93.00
By: Dmitriy Chernovolov
- AUD/JPY reversed from strong support level
- Next buy targets - 92.00 and 93.00
AUD/JPY continues to rise after the recent sharp upward reversal from the strong support level 89.30 (which reversed earlier impulse waves (1) and 1, as you can see from the daily AUD/JPY chart below). The support zone near the support level 89.30 was further strengthened by the lower daily Bollinger Band.
Given the clear Bullish Divergence visible on the daily RSI indicator - AUD/JPY can be expected to rise further from the current levels toward the next buy target at the resistance level 92.00 (which stopped the previous minor correction 2) – the breakout of which can lead to further gains toward 93.00.

The Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov (FPK) equation governs the probability density function (p.d.f.) of the dynamic response of a particular class of linear or nonlinear system to random excitation. An interval wavelet numerical method (IWNM) for nonlinear random systems is proposed using interval Shannon-Gabor wavelet interpolation operator. An FPK equation for nonlinear oscillators and a time fractional Fokker-Planck equation are taken as examples to illustrate its effectiveness and efficiency. Compared with the common wavelet collocation methods, IWNM can decrease the boundary effect greatly. Compared with the finite difference method for the time fractional Fokker-Planck equation, IWNM can improve the calculation precision evidently.

Guest post by Sarah Goodrum
Research on violence prevention in schools focuses on building positive climates and sharing information. A positive climate increases students' willingness to report concerns to school staff. There is less research examining the climate among school staff; yet, this climate also shapes whether teachers report concerns about students and how administrators respond to concerns about those students. This qualitative case study provided lessons learned about information sharing among school staff following a tragic high school shooting. (more…)

Lovely, peaceful haven
Beautifully furnished , warm and comfortable. Excellent kitchen facilities which we made use of !
Much to see in the area and well worth a stay!
Beautiful, historic house in the country.
A lovely, quirky, characterful property that was a joy to stay in. The hosts were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Easy access to main roads to visit local attractions. Would recommend Hall House to anyone.
A gem of a spot in a beautiful part of Norfolk!
The Old Hall lived up to everything that was said about it. Everything was as described, with the bedrooms as magical as described. The Aga range in the kitchen ensured there was always a warm welcome home while the lounge was the perfect place to relax with the wood burning stove.
We received a hearty and warm welcome from Paula and Tom who not only told us clearly all we needed to know but made themselves available for any other queries.
The Old Hall is a perfect base to explore this delightful corner of Norfolk and we would love to be able to return and recommend it to others.

A body has been found washed ashore in an area where a Somalian went missing while fishing in bad weather, police said today.
Osman Sharif, 32, from London was an inexperienced sailor who was alone in his rigid inflatable boat (Rib) in Christchurch Harbour, Dorset, on Tuesday when he is feared to have fallen overboard.
Rescuers stopped searching for him the following day and police began a missing persons investigation.
Dorset and Hampshire Police were today recovering the body which was found on a beach in Barton on Sea, Christchurch Bay, yesterday and has not been identified.
Poor weather and inaccessibility of the site meant it would be a "lengthy process", Hampshire Police said.
Mr Sharif was last heard of at 2pm on Tuesday when he called his girlfriend - around the same time as he was last seen on the boat.
She raised the alarm after 10pm that evening when he did not return home.
Rescuers do not know if he was wearing a life jacket or if he knew how to work a GPS system in his boat.
"He didn't have any form of wetsuit on," a Portland Coastguard spokesman said at the time. "If he got thrown overboard he would have no chance of survival."
Mr Sharif's car was found by a friend at Mudeford Quay at 10pm on Tuesday and his grey inflatable was found at Chewton Bunny by the Coastguard helicopter in the early hours of the following morning.
"We don't think he has done very much fishing from a boat," said a Coastguard spokesman. "We understand it is only the second time he has been out fishing from a boat as opposed to from the shore."
The Rib was small for the force six winds and rough seas, he said.
"If he wasn't very experienced in boats he probably would not realise that.
"If people aren't prepared they can get carried away and can get themselves in to trouble."
He added: "It would have been uncomfortable in those conditions. We would not recommend somebody with his amount of experience going out in those conditions."
On board his boat were heavy sweaters, a repair kit, reflective jacket, spare oil and fishing tackle.
"I personally think he probably fell over, but that's only from what we found on the boat because there seemed to be no other reason for it to have happened."

text: Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science Chapter 1 Computers and Programs Python Programming, 2/e 1 Objectives To understand the respective roles of hardware and software in a computing system. To learn what computer scientists study and the techniques that they use. To understand the basic design of a modern computer. Python Programming, 2/e 2 Objectives (cont.) To understand the form and function of computer programming languages. To begin using the Python programming language. To learn about chaotic models and their implications for computing. Python Programming, 2/e 3 The Universal Machine A modern computer can be defined as "a machine that stores and manipulates information under the control of a changeable program." Two key elements: Computers are devices for manipulating information. Computers operate under the control of a changeable program. Python Programming, 2/e 4 The Universal Machine What is a computer program? A detailed, step-by-step set of instructions telling a computer what to do. If we change the program, the computer performs a different set of actions or a different task. The machine stays the same, but the program changes! Python Programming, 2/e 5 The Universal Machine Programs are executed, or carried out. All computers have the same power, with suitable programming, i.e. each computer can do the things any other computer can do. Python Programming, 2/e 6 Program Power Software (programs) rule the hardware (the physical machine). The process of creating this software is called programming. Why learn to program? Fundamental part of computer science Having an understanding of programming helps you have an understanding of the strengths and limitations of computers. Python Programming, 2/e 7 Program Power Helps you become a more intelligent user of computers It can be fun! Form of expression Helps the development of problem solving skills, especially in analyzing complex systems by reducing them to interactions between simpler systems. Programmers are in great demand! Python Programming, 2/e 8 What is Computer Science? It is not the study of computers! "Computers are to computer science what telescopes are to astronomy." – E. Dijkstra The question becomes, "What processes can be described?" This question is really, "What can be computed?" Python Programming, 2/e 9 What is Computer Science? Design One way to show a particular problem can be solved is to actually design a solution. This is done by developing an algorithm, a step-by-step process for achieving the desired result. One problem – it can only answer in the positive. You can't prove a negative! Python Programming, 2/e 10 What is Computer Science? Analysis Analysis is the process of examining algorithms and problems mathematically. Some seemingly simple problems are not solvable by any algorithm. These problems are said to be unsolvable. Problems can be intractable if they would take too long or take too much memory to be of practical value. Python Programming, 2/e 11 What is Computer Science? Experimentation Some problems are too complex for analysis. Implement a system and then study its behavior. Python Programming, 2/e 12 Hardware Basics The central processing unit (CPU) is the "brain" of a computer. The CPU carries out all the basic operations on the data. Examples: simple arithmetic operations, testing to see if two numbers are equal. Python Programming, 2/e 13 Hardware Basics Memory stores programs and data. CPU can only directly access information stored in main memory (RAM or Random Access Memory). Main memory is fast, but volatile, i.e. when the power is interrupted, the contents of memory are lost. Secondary memory provides more permanent storage: magnetic (hard drive, floppy), optical (CD, DVD) Python Programming, 2/e 14 Hardware Basics Input devices Information is passed to the computer through keyboards, mice, etc. Output devices Processed information is presented to the user through the monitor, printer, etc. Python Programming, 2/e 15 Hardware Basics Fetch-Execute Cycle First instruction retrieved from memory Decode the instruction to see what it represents Appropriate action carried out. Next instruction fetched, decoded, and executed. Lather, rinse, repeat! Python Programming, 2/e 16 Programming Languages Natural language has ambiguity and imprecision problems when used to describe complex algorithms. Programs expressed in an unambiguous , precise way using programming languages. Every structure in programming language has a precise form, called its syntax Every structure in programming language has a precise meaning, called its semantics. Python Programming, 2/e 17 Programming Languages Programming language like a code for writing the instructions the computer will follow. Programmers will often refer to their program as computer code. Process of writing an algorithm in a programming language often called coding. Python Programming, 2/e 18 Programming Languages High-level computer languages Designed to be used and understood by humans Low-level language Computer hardware can only understand a very low level language known as machine language Python Programming, 2/e 19 Programming Languages Add two numbers: Load the number from memory location 2001 into the CPU Load the number from memory location 2002 into the CPU Add the two numbers in the CPU Store the result into location 2003 In reality, these low-level instructions are represented in binary (1's and 0's) Python Programming, 2/e 20 Programming Languages High-level language c=a+b This needs to be translated into machine language that the computer can execute. Compilers convert programs written in a high-level language into the machine language of some computer. Python Programming, 2/e 21 Programming Languages Interpreters simulate a computer that understands a high-level language. The source program is not translated into machine language all at once. An interpreter analyzes and executes the source code instruction by instruction. Python Programming, 2/e 22 Programming Languages Compiling vs. Interpreting Once program is compiled, it can be executed over and over without the source code or compiler. If it is interpreted, the source code and interpreter are needed each time the program runs Compiled programs generally run faster since the translation of the source code happens only once. Python Programming, 2/e 23 Programming Languages Interpreted languages are part of a more flexible programming environment since they can be developed and run interactively Interpreted programs are more portable, meaning the executable code produced from a compiler for a Pentium won't run on a Mac, without recompiling. If a suitable interpreter already exists, the interpreted code can be run with no modifications. Python Programming, 2/e 24 The Magic of Python When you start Python, you will see something like: Python 3.1.2 (r312:79149, Mar 21 2010, 00:41:52) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> Python Programming, 2/e 25 The Magic of Python The ">>>" is a Python prompt indicating that Python is ready for us to give it a command. These commands are called statements. >>> print("Hello, world") Hello, world >>> print(2+3) 5 >>> print("2+3=", 2+3) 2+3= 5 >>> Python Programming, 2/e 26 The Magic of Python Usually we want to execute several statements together that solve a common problem. One way to do this is to use a function. >>> def hello(): print("Hello") print("Computers are Fun") >>> Python Programming, 2/e 27 The Magic of Python >>> def hello(): print("Hello") print("Computers are Fun") >>> The first line tells Python we are defining a new function called hello. The following lines are indented to show that they are part of the hello function. The blank line (hit enter twice) lets Python know the definition is finished. Python Programming, 2/e 28 The Magic of Python >>> def hello(): print("Hello") print("Computers are Fun") >>> Notice that nothing has happened yet! We've defined the function, but we haven't told Python to perform the function! A function is invoked by typing its name. >>> hello() Hello Computers are Fun >>> Python Programming, 2/e 29 The Magic of Python What's the deal with the ()'s? Commands can have changeable parts called parameters that are placed between the ()'s. >>> def greet(person): print("Hello",person) print ("How are you?") >>> Python Programming, 2/e 30 The Magic of Python >>> greet("Terry") Hello Terry How are you? >>> greet("Paula") Hello Paula How are you? >>> When we use parameters, we can customize the output of our function. Python Programming, 2/e 31 The Magic of Python When we exit the Python prompt, the functions we've defined cease to exist! Programs are usually composed of functions, modules, or scripts that are saved on disk so that they can be used again and again. A module file is a text file created in text editing software (saved as "plain text") that contains function definitions. A programming environment is designed to help programmers write programs and usually includes automatic indenting, highlighting, etc. Python Programming, 2/e 32 The Magic of Python # File: chaos.py # A simple program illustrating chaotic behavior def main(): print("This program illustrates a chaotic function") x = eval(input("Enter a number between 0 and 1: ")) for i in range(10): x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) main() We'll use filename.py when we save our work to indicate it's a Python program. In this code we're defining a new function called main. The main() at the end tells Python to run the Python Programming, 2/e 33 code. The Magic of Python >>> This program illustrates a chaotic function Enter a number between 0 and 1: .5 0.975 0.0950625 0.335499922266 0.869464925259 0.442633109113 0.962165255337 0.141972779362 0.4750843862 0.972578927537 0.104009713267 >>> Python Programming, 2/e 34 Inside a Python Program # File: chaos.py # A simple program illustrating chaotic behavior Lines that start with # are called comments Intended for human readers and ignored by Python Python skips text from # to end of line Python Programming, 2/e 35 Inside a Python Program def main(): Beginning of the definition of a function called main Since our program has only this one module, it could have been written without the main function. The use of main is customary, however. Python Programming, 2/e 36 Inside a Python Program print("This program illustrates a chaotic function") This line causes Python to print a message introducing the program. Python Programming, 2/e 37 Inside a Python Program x = eval(input("Enter a number between 0 and 1: ")) x is an example of a variable A variable is used to assign a name to a value so that we can refer to it later. The quoted information is displayed, and the number typed in response is stored in x. Python Programming, 2/e 38 Inside a Python Program for i in range(10): For is a loop construct A loop tells Python to repeat the same thing over and over. In this example, the following code will be repeated 10 times. Python Programming, 2/e 39 Inside a Python Program x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) These lines are the body of the loop. The body of the loop is what gets repeated each time through the loop. The body of the loop is identified through indentation. The effect of the loop is the same as repeating this two lines 10 times! Python Programming, 2/e 40 Inside a Python Program for i in range(10): x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) print(x) x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) These are equivalent! x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) Python Programming, 2/e 41 Inside a Python Program x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) This is called an assignment statement The part on the right-hand side (RHS) of the "=" is a mathematical expression. * is used to indicate multiplication Once the value on the RHS is computed, it is stored back into (assigned) into x Python Programming, 2/e 42 Inside a Python Program main() This last line tells Python to execute the code in the function main Python Programming, 2/e 43 Chaos and Computers The chaos.py program: def main(): print("This program illustrates a chaotic function") x = eval(input("Enter a number between 0 and 1: ")) for i in range(10): x = 3.9 * x * (1 - x) print(x) main() For any given input, returns 10 seemingly random numbers between 0 and 1 It appears that the value of x is chaotic Python Programming, 2/e 44 Chaos and Computers The function computed by program has the general form k(x)(1x) where k is 3.9 This type of function is known as a logistic function. Models certain kinds of unstable electronic circuits. Very small differences in initial value can have large differences in the output.

Charlie Cook to Dems: You know you're going to get totally destroyed in November, right?
posted at 7:34 pm on August 20, 2010 by Allahpundit
Well, maybe not totally destroyed. He's pretty sure that they'll hold the Senate, just because a 10-seat pick-up is a tall order for any party even under the best of circumstances. But we'll check back with him in a month or so. This is the guy, you may recall, who described ObamaCare as "Obama's Iraq" way back in February, before the bill even passed. How's that prediction looking these days?
The clip's long but the first three and a half minutes or so are really all you need. As for the House, he's predicting that the GOP will win it back — as a conservative estimate. Where the final seat total ends up is anyone's guess at this point. Don't tell Biden.

At last our phone company has managed to drag a strand of high-speed cable across the six miles from the exchange to the green box at the end of my garden. In a flash I've been transported from the "back of beyond" into the exciting world of the "digital now" (at least, that's what it says on the publicity blurb they sent me).
According to the leaflet, the new service is called "Infinity" and is immediately available with speeds "up to eighty times faster than ADSL". Of course, you do have to take into account a few over-excitable marketing terms here. It's actually still ADSL, but closer to you than it was before. Also, the multiple increase in speed simply reflects how slow it was before (less than 2 MB in my area). And when I phoned and asked if "Infinity" was a description of the actual speed I could expect, I wasn't really surprised to discover that it's actually around 40 MB maximum. I'm wondering how long it will be before the Advertising Standards Agency people start to ask difficult questions.
What they provide is "Fibre to the Cabinet" (FTTC), so you still have wet string between the cabinet and you (note that I refuse to call it "Fiber" on the grounds that it's buried under our green and pleasant English fields). And at the pointy end you get a modem that translates the signal into a PPPoE interconnection that any suitably-equipped router or hub can consume.
I always said I'd upgrade my ADSL line when FTTC did arrive, and I was on the phone to a business salesperson at BT (the phone company) the same day as I got the letter. Obviously take-up is somewhat slow because I got a fitting date only a week ahead; maybe because I have a business service rather than a residential one. And within three days they'd delivered by post the hub/router, a box of cables, and a welcome pack. The modem itself, and hopefully the requisite installation skills, would be coming with the engineer.
And everything did arrive on time, and worked. The engineer replaced the wall socket with a new one (or rather, one exactly the same as the old one but with an "Infinity" label), went off down the street to the cabinet and wiggled the wires for half an hour, plugged in the modem, and I was almost instantly cable-enabled. He also plugged in the hub/router they provided, and did a speed test to prove it would give 40 MB down and 10 MB up.
But then we got to the bit where I asked him to configure the hub with wireless turned off because it lives inside the server cabinet next to a lot of other sensitive networking stuff. If you happened to read my wireless security diatribe a couple of week ago, you'll recall a mention of how Virgin (my other ISP) tells you that your new cable hub has wireless enabled, including for a free open "guest network" connection. But you can turn it all off.
So you won't be surprised to hear that the BT hub has the same, but they don't tell you. When I originally placed the order, I'd been careful to verify with the sales guy that wireless could be completely disabled in their hub, and was told it could. What soon became clear is that you can turn off your own "primary" and "guest" networks, but you can't turn off the public open (and unsecured) "BT Wi-Fi" wireless network feature. There's absolutely no capability to configure it. It's on all the time, whether you agree to that or not.
I suppose it would have been a good opportunity to experiment to see how the free open Wi-Fi system worked, whether it used the same IP address as "my" connection, and whether it actually could eat up all my bandwidth. As I still have the hub (BT might decide they want it back sometime), I guess that's a task for a rainy day when I run out of other jobs.
Instead, as you'll see later, I simply tagged in a Netgear router that has an RJ45 Ethernet port for cable connections and can handle PPPoE. But that was only after some rather tortuous conversations with a guy at our local electronics store, and a search of the web for a wiring plan. All initiated by the fact that my existing ADSL modem/router can do both PPPoA (ordinary PPP over ADSL) and PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet). So, in theory, there's no reason that it can't be used with a PPPoE modem.
Or so you'd think. The BT cable modem has an RJ45 Ethernet output socket, but the old ADSL modem has an RJ11 "telephone-style" input port. No problem – I can (according to Amazon and several other online stores) buy, or make up myself, an RJ45 to RJ11 interconnect cable. Though figuring the pin connections from the many different diagrams on the web looked less than simple. So I popped down to the local electronics store and asked if they had one. I have to say that I wasn't prepared for the half-hour spirited discussion that ensued, and I'm still not sure which parts were accurate.
According to the expert man I talked with, after you switch to "Infinity" the ADSL port on your modem is redundant. You cannot use it at all, for anything. Therefore, you cannot buy an RJ45 to RJ11 connector – there is no such thing. Even if there was, it wouldn't work. Yet, according to BT, you can use your existing ADSL modem as long as it supports PPPoE, can expose a network username and password, and can be configured with an MTU of 1492. All of which my existing modem can.
In fact, the load-balancing router on my network, next down the line from the modem, can do PPPoE. It has an Ethernet input port, and I confirmed that it worked fine plugged into the BT Infinity cable modem. I could have just used that setup, but I wanted a perimeter network (what we're no longer allowed to call a DMZ) with port forwarding to a web server, so I needed a separate hub/router between the cable modem and the load-balancing router.
In the end I decided to replace the several-years old ADSL modem with one that has Gigabyte connections (not that I'm actually going to reach the limits of a 100 MB port), and where the firmware is a bit more up to date. And, of course, has an RJ45 Ethernet input port. But I also bought an RJ45 to RJ11 cable from Amazon – at some point I'm going to find out whether this would have worked. Maybe you already tried this, or can tell me whether it's a realistic option before I break something experimenting.
Best of all, however, the purchase of a new modem/router means I have another ADSL router to add to my growing collection of spare ones…

Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Fire- Storm.
(c) 9/2/2010. By Poetlife
( One year-anniversary -of tragic Black Saturday fires in Victoria.Australia.)
Blue replaced
Sky by orange mask displayed,
In days of hot despair
Flames of red, orange, yellow, blue
Glowed, danced in the gale force winds,
White glow of fire showed it's face.
Trees a silent sentinel of charged black butts, logs
Tops alight, swayed in life's tragic dance.
Storm of fire, wind, heat
Bright light,
Sound of life's flight, fight to survive.
Fingers of flames,
Ran the marathon, race,
Overtaking running, fleeing feet in space,
Flames were winners of this tragic race.
Cinders exploded fireworks
Glowing red, yellow, hot,
Flying in space.
Dark grey, white chokeing heavy smoke,
A canopy formed.
Water, steam, flames, heat,
Mingled, in streams of fear,
Tears of suffering, pain
Fire- storm
You won this tragic race.

New York's Collective Mouth Watering, Stomach Growling — We Want Our 2nd Ave. Deli!
The Big Apple has been in a funk ever since the famed 2nd Avenue Deli closed its doors two years ago. Now, as the Forward just reported, it's set to reopen, on 33rd Street between Lexington and Third Avenue. (It may be a slightly ridiculous location for the 2nd Avenue Deli, but I'm not complaining, since it's only a block from the Forward's offices.)
New York Magazine chats with the 25-year-old owner of the altneu restaurant, Jeremy Lebewohl, a nephew of murdered 2nd Avenue Deli founder Abe Lebewohl.
We learn that Jeremy likes gribenes and kishkes and prefers sours to half-sours and pastrami to corn beef. He keeps kosher, so when he wants to check out the competition over at Katz's, he has to send in his staff to sample the rival pastrami.
Read the full interview here if you want your stomach to be growling in eager anticipation until next week.

So what's the election result going to be? That's the question I am asked most often nowadays, and I am sure it's the one my fellow political commentators also find the most difficult to answer. "Oh, it's going to be very exciting," we all say, laughing nervously, because nobody has a clue what the real answer is.
The truth is that this is the most unpredictable election in recent memory and for one very simple reason – for the first time in British political history, we're now in five-party politics. For the first time ever it's conceivable that the joint vote share of the two main parties might be under 60 per cent.
The only thing we can say with certainty is that the days of the election night swingometer are well and truly behind us. There is no such thing as a national swing. National opinion polls have been rendered almost redundant. The various internet election forecasting sites have little relevance. Tip O'Neill once said that "all politics is local" and boy was he right.
I have taken him at his word and taken on the mammoth task of predicting the result in each of the UK's 650 constituencies. Clearly only an idiot or a massive political geek would undertake such a task and put his money where his mouth is. I'll leave you to decide which I am.
Experts' predictions for the general election
Experts' predictions for the general election
1/10 Andrew Hawkins (ComRes)
Just as the polls in 2010 pointed to no overall majority for any party, the overwhelming evidence points to Labour either being the largest party or getting a small majority, probably below 20. The Lib Dems and SNP should each win between 25 and 35 seats, with single-figure wins for both Ukip and the Greens.
2/10 Joe Twyman (YouGov)
I predict it will be close. I predict a few tremors, though earthquakes are unlikely. I predict the eventual winner may not be the direct result of public opinion, but instead the outcome of political negotiations. It's too early to predict numbers given all the uncertainties surrounding (among other things) Ukip, the SNP and the Lib Dems. It is possible that it will be close between Conservative and Labour in terms of both votes and seats. The Lib Dems might retain 20-30 seats and the balance of power, despite small gains for the SNP, and at most half a dozen Ukip seats. Gun to my head? Labour minority government.
3/10 Ben Page (Ipsos MORI)
A mug's game for this election months away, but my predictions in order of likelihood: most likely a hung parliament or coalition of some kind, closely followed by either a small Labour majority or an equally small Conservative majority. Given how close the parties are, the unknown performance of Ukip in key marginals, the effect of incumbency on Lib Dem losses, the final size of SNP surge and so on, to be more precise is simply foolish! Professor Tetlock, who found that forecasts by experts were only slightly better than throwing dice, weighs heavily upon me!
4/10 Rick Nye (Populus)
I can see a hung parliament, where Labour is the largest party in terms of seats – though not necessarily in terms of votes, with the Lib Dems having 30 seats or fewer, the SNP having up to 20 seats and Ukip having no more than five seats. In short, it's going to get messy and stay messy for some time to come.
5/10 Nick Moon (GfK)
I can't recall there ever being an election more difficult to predict than this one. I'm confident no party will have an overall majority, with the Tories probably the largest party but no single partner for a viable coalition, with the Lib Dems on 25 seats, the SNP 20, Ukip three, and the Greens one.
6/10 Damian Lyons Lowe (Survation)
We might have expected a workable Labour majority, were it not for the wild-card rise of the SNP in Scotland. Survation's December Scottish polls suggest an almost complete wipeout by the SNP in Scotland and result in 40+ seat gains – mostly at Labour's expense. My current predictions are: Labour the largest party by 40-50 seats over the Tories, no overall majority; Tories 235-255 seats; Lib Dems 20-30 seats; SNP 30-40 seats – maybe held back from potential support level by opposition incumbency and tactical voting by pro-unionist voters. Finally, Ukip, 5-10 wins from Conservatives, including Rochester and Clacton, and potentially a single Labour-seat surprise.
7/10 Michelle Harrison (TNS)
The battleground over the next three months is at the kitchen table – the difference between what the statistics tell us about the economy, the experience that Britons are having of managing their household budgets, and where – and if – they believe politics can make a difference. In this regard, the disconnect with the major political parties is more interesting than the horse race.
8/10 James Endersby (Opinium Research)
Our first poll for 2015 shows Labour one point ahead [see above], but polls four months out from an election are snapshots, not predictions. It would be extremely unwise for a pollster to make a firm prediction now. At the moment, Opinium's estimate on polling day would be the Tories slightly ahead on vote share, but Labour slightly ahead on seats. These numbers are based on a uniform swing, with tweaks to Green and Ukip numbers based on local information: Labour 320 seats, Conservatives 271, Lib Dems 20, SNP 16, Plaid Cymru three, Greens two, Ukip four. A hung parliament with Labour potentially closer to a majority coalition than the Conservatives.
9/10 Martin Boon (ICM)
I've not recovered from the Scottish referendum campaign yet, and here we go with another wildcard strewn nail-biter. For me, Labour on 30 per cent will only fractionally nudge past their woeful 2010 showing – behind the Tories on 33 per cent – but enough to secure more seats (290 for Labour, 280 for the Tories) on boundary wackiness. The Lib Dems will secure 14 per cent of the vote and 35 seats; Ukip will also get 14 per cent, but that only gets them a couple of seats. As for Scotland, I'm bewildered, but as you asked I'll say 30 seats for the SNP, which wipes out a breathing-space victory in seats for Labour.
10/10 Lord Ashcroft (Lord Ashcroft Polls)
Declined to take part. His spokeswoman said: "As he has said many times, his polls are snapshots not predictions." Health warning: when The Independent on Sunday carried out a similar exercise in April 2010, at the start of that year's election campaign, eight out of eight pollsters predicted a Conservative overall majority.
Obviously I am not an expert on each seat. But there's a lot of information out there if you look for it. Sites such as PoliticalBetting.com and UKPollingReport are mines of useful statistics and opinion. Lord Ashcroft's excellent constituency-based polls also provide useful data along with other local factors I have researched. I've made the predictions as scientific as I can make them on the evidence I have available to me. In the end you also have to sniff the political wind and rely on your own political instinct. And that's what I have done. It's served me well over the last year when I got the European election results bang on and made the most accurate predictions in Cameron's Cabinet reshuffle.

I don't expect to have got every prediction right, which will come as a relief to several MP friends from all parties who I have predicted will lose their seats. But this is an ongoing process, and I fully expect to revise some of these predictions between now and 7 May.
Having completed the task I am so glad I undertook it, as it has confirmed several theories.
In Scotland I just cannot see how the Scottish National Party can gain the number of seats many people are predicting. Some pundits predict with straight faces that the SNP will sweep the electoral board and end up with 30 to 40 seats. They have six at the moment, and try as I might I can't get them above 18. If they do achieve more than that it would be a political earthquake of epic proportions. They would be overturning Labour majorities of 15-20,000.
The most difficult thing to predict is how well the United Kingdom Independence Party and the Green Party will do. Both could deny each of the major parties victory in many marginal seats. Labour ought to be gaining seats in North Wales, for example, but the strong Ukip vote there – where they are taking more Labour votes than Tory ones – may well mean they don't take any at all. Indeed, in the North-west of England that same phenomenon could mean the Tories picking up the odd Labour marginal.
The one prediction I am 100 per cent confident in making is that the Liberal Democrats will lose more than half of their 57 seats. A year ago I thought they would end up with 30-35. In October I revised that to 28-30. Now I have them on 24. It could get even worse, but I reckon Nick Clegg will be safe in Sheffield Hallam.
The most recent political phenomenon is the growth of the Greens. While I don't see them winning any extra seats, it is possible for an increase in their vote to stop Labour winning in some key marginals. If the Lib Dem vote transfers to the Greens instead of Labour, Ed Miliband is in much bigger trouble than my headline prediction suggests.
If my overall prediction is anywhere near correct, Britain is on the verge of months, or maybe years of political uncertainty. It would take three parties to form a coalition, and I doubt whether many of us can see that happening. A safer bet would be that no one could form a sustainable government and we could be in for a second election in the autumn which none but the main two parties could afford – and even Labour would find it difficult to raise the necessary money in such a short time. In the meantime, the markets will get the jitters and the fragile economic recovery could well be threatened.
Welcome to five-party politics. It's not going to be an easy ride.

While sitting in KFC we told Ted and Justin to quit acting like such Reggins and stop trying to steal ourchicken.
by Ur a Canadian December 19, 2008
Nigger spelled backwards. Not used to "avoid having your ass beat" by a welfare recipient, but used instead at work to avoid being fired.
These goddamn reggins are always coming in here complaining about their account like the world owes them something.

The word reggin comes from the word "Nigger" spelled backwards. Less offensive word to use around people of color when trying to be racist or make prejudice remarks without getting ones ass beaten in like it aint funny. Word not to be used at the work place.
Oh fuck Tim, check out that fuckin reggin mother fucker! lets go fuckin shoot that fucker!
Stop being a reggin Grey Dane, you are such a fucking fagget. Bitch.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My ex & I current have joint legal/ physical custody w/him having residency for school purposes only.We switch every other week.Last yr due to the divorce, I was unemployed,in foreclosure, etc.I'm now full time employee, college graduate (B.A.),own stable residence. My 6 yr old has told the counselor about her dad burning her with cigarette in several places and telling her to lie about it (reported to DSS)The teacher has notice a change in her social behavior.The school n my district is superior bc its a magnet school.I'm more of an active parent, he isnt. He is a FT employee &student.He goes to school 3 nights/wk, 1 of which is his mid-week visitation with his child.Hes "on-call" at work a lot. Our child is often at daycare or with his parents.Whats my chances of gaining primary custody?
There is no hard and fast, birght-line rule as to what constitutes a material change in circumstances warranting modification.
If all or most of the circumstances that you have described in your question are new (i.e., did not already exist and/or where not anticipated/foreseeable at the time that current custody order was entered), then it sounds like you have a very reasonable argument to make that circumstances have changed in some material ways since the custody order was entered. Whether that will result in you gaining primary custody or not depends upon whether you can show/persuade the court that this change "warrants" modification and that giving you primary custody is in the best interests of the child.
The requirement to sufficiently allege a material change of circumstance is primarily to prevent a parent who is not happy with the outcome of their custody case from returning to court over and over again in an attempt to relitigate the same old issues or facts and/or to make an end-run around the time requirements for properly appealing a custody decision. The changes that you mention in your question are substantive, not trivial. Once you present the facts at trial to support that these alleged changes have occurred, your primary focus will need to be on showing that the factors listed in Section 20-124.3 of the Va. Code support a finding that it is in the child's best interest for you to be primary custodian.
You will need to prove your case by providing admissible evidence (including documents and witnesses) to the court to substantiate your position. This may include the school counselor, CPS reports (which, in and of themselves, are not going to just be accepted into evidence), possibly his employer (if he disputes your assertions about his work schedule), etc. Accordingly, it would be extremely helpful for you to have an attorney represent you in your case (the attorney should know the rules of evidence and how to conduct aggressive pre-trial discovery, as well as securing the witnesses, getting around non-discloure issues, requesting an IPE if necessary, requesting a GAL be appointed, etc.).
This response does not create an attorney-client relationship and is intended for general information purposes only.Ask a similar question
thank you this is very helpful. What is a IPE? Who would be considered as admissible witness? I have her teachers, counselors, CPS, her extracurricular activities instructors.. Is there anything else that I need to consider?
An IPE is an Independent Psychological Examination. If a parent is physically and emotionally/mentally abusing the people in their lives (especially children), then there is a very good possibility that there is some mental health issue involved. Since you cannot get at counseling records directly (they are privileged from disclosure), having a court ordered IPE (which is not subject to privilege) may enable you to get into evidence any underlying mental illness, personality disorder, anger-management issues, or substance abuse problems that may be going on with the other parent that could affect the health and welfare of the children. As far as wintesses are concerned, it is impossible to know who you might want to call as witness without being knee-deep into the facts of your case. However, a good rule of thumb to keep in mind is the hearsay rule. The hearsay rule essentially excludes from evidence any "out of court statement being offered in court to prove the truth of the matter asserted (in the out of court statement)". It applies to any statement, whether oral or written -- which is why documents can be difficult to get into evidence unless you know the hearsay exceptions that would allow the document into evicence. As far as witnesses are concerned, it is a helpful rule to remember -- if there is something you want the court to hear, then you need to bring the person who said it into court to testify. So, for example, the counselor can't testify as to what the child told them (it's an out of court statement being offered to prove the truth of the statement -- daddy burned me with a cigarette). There may also be some privilege involved. Same with CPS - a peson from CPS can testify as to things they personally witnessed (a burn, an unsuitable living environment, etc.), but not as to things that other people reported to them. When it comes to children, who the court is not going to want to see a parent trying to haul into court to testify, usually the appointment of a Guardian ad litum for the child is a useful way to get some of this hard to admit information before the court via the GAL's report (it's kind of a back-door way of getting otherwise inadmissible information in). Also, you can request home studies be done as part of the custody case. The home study findings are admissible. There are a number of exceptions to the hearsay rule (but it takes a number of years of law school, followed by years of actual litigation practice to really understand them and to know when and how to argue those excpetions). So, if you can get trial counsel for your case, I would strongly recommend it.
Ms. Mandell does a nice job of describing what you need to consider. I will only add that before you file -and I hope you will get an attorney to assist you - start a cookbook. For each point you raise write out every thing you has that will support that issue (eg. cigarette burns - witnesses, cps report/ worker; graduation - diploma; job - letter and possibly employer/ supervisor). Have filled in to better assist your attorney.Ask a similar question

text: HONG KONG, March 30, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical Company Limited ("Shanghai Petrochemical" or the "Company") (HKEx: 00338; SSE: 600688; NYSE: SHI) today announced the audited operating results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the "Year"). According to IFRS, turnover of the Group for the Year amounted to RMB 95,518.9 million, representing an increase of 23.22% over the previous year. Profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company amounted to RMB 956.1 million (2010: RMB 2,769.0 million). Basic earnings per share was RMB 0.133 (2010: RMB 0.385). The board of directors of the Company recommended payment of a dividend of RMB 0.50 per 10 shares (including tax) for the Year (2010: RMB 1.00 per 10 shares, including tax). Mr. Rong Guangdao, chairman of Shanghai Petrochemical, said, "In 2011, China's economy continued to maintain steady and relatively rapid growth while its petroleum and petrochemical industry demonstrated rapid and steady growth. However, the Group's operating costs rose sharply due to the high prices of international crude oil. Meanwhile, domestic prices of refined oil products were kept under control and prices of petrochemical products declined remarkably in the fourth quarter, resulting in a substantial decline in profit for the year compared to last year. Despite the unfavorable macro environment, both the employees and the management managed to seize opportunities when facing challenges in the market, put more effort into optimizing production and operations and carrying out the construction of the Phase 6 Project. As a result, the Group accomplished all of its production and operational tasks for the year and reached record highs in various indicators such as crude oil processing volume, total volume of goods and turnover. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Group's net sales amounted to RMB 89,509.7 million, representing an increase of 24.15% over the previous year. The weighted average prices (excluding tax) of the Group's synthetic fibres, resins and plastics, intermediate petrochemical products and petroleum products increased by 8.35%, 12.23%, 17.44% and 18.32%, respectively, over 2010. In 2011, the Group recorded continuous growth in physical production volume, with the total volume of goods amounting to 12,001,500 tons, representing an increase of 4.53% over the previous year. During the Year, the Group processed 10,866,700 tons of crude oil (including 257,000 tons of crude oil processed on a sub-contract basis), representing an increase of 3.29%. Total production output of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel was 5,745,600 tons, representing an increase of 6.92%, among which the Group produced 968,500 tons of gasoline, 3,979,800 tons of diesel and 797,300 tons of jet fuel, representing increases of 3.87%, 8.27% and 4.13%, respectively. The Group produced 910,100 tons of ethylene and 481,700 tons of propylene, representing a decrease of 6.45% and 7.93%, respectively. The Group produced 923,100 tons of paraxylene, representing an increase of 9.81%. The Group also produced 1,097,900 tons of synthetic resins and copolymers (excluding polyesters and polyvinyl alcohol), representing a decrease of 3.16%; 946,200 tons of synthetic fiber monomers, representing a decrease of 0.41%; 664,200 tons of synthetic fiber polymers, representing an increase of 3.26%; and 250,000 tons of synthetic fiber, representing a decrease of 1.42%. Meanwhile, the Group continued to maintain the premium level of quality of its products.
