[AMERICANS ABROAD] Jozy Altidore should become the fourth American to play in the English League Cup final as Sunderland faces Manchester City Sunday for the Capital One Cup at Wembley (live on beIN Sports USA and beIN Sports en Espanol at 9 a.m. ET).
Of the 22 foreign-based players eligible for Wednesday's Ukraine-USA game, three play in Friday, 10 play on Saturday and eight play on Sunday. Mix Diskerud's Norwegian season with Rosenborg doesn't resume until the end of March.
On Thursday, Aron Johannsson started for AZ in its 1-1 tie
with visiting Slovan Liberec that sent the Dutch club through to the final 16 of the Europa League.
MIDWEEK COPA MX ACTION. Former U.S. U-17 Alejandro Guido scored for second division Dorados in its 2-1 win over Guadalajara in Mexican Copa MX play. Paul Arriola and
Stevie Rodriguez also played for Dorados, the farm team of Tijuana, where they normally play. They are allowed to play for Dorados, which advanced to the
knockout stages of the Copa MX, because Tijuana is not entered in the tournament due to its participation in the Concacaf Champions League.

Small bowel transplantation has become an accepted treatment option for patients with irreversible intestinal failure. Our experimental model of orthotopic small bowel transplantation in rats serves as a reliable tool to address underlying immunologic and inflammatory processes that complicate intestinal transplantation.

Kitamura, K., von Websky, M. W., Ohsawa, I., Jaffari, A., Pech, T. C., Vilz, T., et al. Orthotopic Small Bowel Transplantation in Rats. J. Vis. Exp. (69), e4102, doi:10.3791/4102 (2012).
Small bowel transplantation has become an accepted clinical option for patients with short gut syndrome and failure of parenteral nutrition (irreversible intestinal failure). In specialized centers improved operative and managing strategies have led to excellent short- and intermediate term patient and graft survival while providing high quality of life 1,3. Unlike in the more common transplantation of other solid organs (i.e. heart, liver) many underlying mechanisms of graft function and immunologic alterations induced by intestinal transplantation are not entirely known6,7. Episodes of acute rejection, sepsis and chronic graft failure are the main obstacles still contributing to less favorable long term outcome and hindering a more widespread employment of the procedure despite a growing number of patients on home parenteral nutrition who would potentially benefit from such a transplant. The small intestine contains a large number of passenger leucocytes commonly referred to as part of the gut associated lymphoid system (GALT) this being part of the reason for the high immunogenity of the intestinal graft. The presence and close proximity of many commensals and pathogens in the gut explains the severity of sepsis episodes once graft mucosal integrity is compromised (for example by rejection). To advance the field of intestinal- and multiorgan transplantation more data generated from reliable and feasible animal models is needed. The model provided herein combines both reliability and feasibility once established in a standardized manner and can provide valuable insight in the underlying complex molecular, cellular and functional mechanisms that are triggered by intestinal transplantation. We have successfully used and refined the described procedure over more than 5 years in our laboratory 8-11. The JoVE video-based format is especially useful to demonstrate the complex procedure and avoid initial pitfalls for groups planning to establish an orthotopic rodent model investigating intestinal transplantation.
1. Donor Operation
2. Backtable Procedure
Immediately after extracting the graft, the aortic conduit is used for perfusion with 3 ml chilled UW solution. For this, a 20 G i.v. catheter on a 10 ml syringe is used. The perfusate should be observed to flow out freely from the divided portal vein. For the intestinal irrigation with Nebacetin, a 50 ml syringe is used.
3. Recipient Operation

Normal postoperative course
The transplanted animals should recover quickly from the procedure under a heat lamp for approximately 1 hr. Hypothermia is a major cause of postoperative mortality and should be carefully avoided intra- and postoperatively. Intraoperative fluid losses must be replaced by s.c. injection of 2.5 ml normal saline plus 2.5 ml Glucose 5% every 8 hr for the first 24 hr. The rats should also have free access to glucose solution (or gel diet) and water p.o. for the first 24 hr postoperatively. After this period they should regain normal feeding behavior with free access to standard rat chow and water ad libitum. Pain is controlled by administration of carprofen 5 mg/kg s.c. daily for three days, with the first shot to be administered at anesthesia induction. Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is only needed in the allogenic setting, and can be administered over 5-7 days (ampicillin 15 mg/kg s.c., q. 12 hr). General appearance, fur condition as well as mucosal appearance should be normal. After POD 1 the activity level should return to preoperative status, apathic or abnormal behavior suggests early surgical complications. After initial loss of up to 20% of body weight the rats will start to gain weight again around postoperative day 6-8 and will have reached around 90 % of their preoperative weight normally around postoperative day 14 (in the isogenic setting without rejection).
Postoperative complications
As stated above, a distended abdomen, apathic behavior, discontinuation of feeding and changes in general appearance (ruffled fur, secretion from the eyes) should be considered as symptoms of possible complications. The animals should be seen by the surgeon and a veterinarian. Conditions like dehydration, inflammatory state due to peritonitis, ileus due to stenosis of the bowel anastomosis, insufficient pain medication and others must be ruled out and treated. If the animal does not recover despite treatment, discontinuation of the experiment must be evaluated on a case by case basis according to applying animal experiment regulations.

Figure 2 represents weight loss data, not survival, the decreasing number of available animals to measure weight loss is mainly due to sacrifing of animals for experiments.

While intestinal transplant models in rats have been described as early as in the 1970ies 5 most of the recently employed models involve heterotopic intestinal transplantation using different techniques 13. While the heterotopic procedures in general have the advantage of easier microsurgical techniques and easier accessibility of the graft for assessment, heterotopic intestinal transplantation has the big disadvantage of not taking into account the multiple interactions of the transplanted small bowel and its functional aspects like contractile activity and mucosal barrier function that characterizes an orthotopic graft in the context of a vast host of commensals and pathogens. Our group has gained a large experience with the herein described orthotopic model and our findings suggest that many of the specific alterations caused by inflammatory and adaptive immune responses have to be assessed in context with the functional properties of the transplanted small bowel like contractility and mucosal integrity. Of note, the anastomotic techniques employed here do not include the usage of arterial or venous cuffs, some of which have been shown to facilitate the procedure and reduce the critical warm ischemia time, especially in models of multivisceral transplantation 12,14. Although it may be necessary to employ cuff techniques in rodent models of multivisceral transplantation, the complicative potential of the cuffs has led us to avoid similar techniques in this model of single intestinal transplantation. We have not attempted to use portal drainage techniques in this model. Apart from being technically challenging (the small portal vein diameter could lead to venous outflow problems), which would make the whole model more difficult to establish - it is a fact that in clinical intestinal transplantation systemic drainage is used in the majority of cases. Thus, the described technique reflects clinical practice combined with technical feasibility. Portal drainage of the grafts has not been shown to be associated with superior outcomes in several clinical and experimental studies 2,4. Sufficiently short ischemia times of around 35 minutes necessary for stable animal survival can be achieved after completion of the learning curve for this model.
Orthotopic small bowel transplantation according to this protocol can be learned by a microsurgically experienced researcher after performing approximately 30-40 procedures. The visualization as achieved by the JoVE format allows for direct visual observation and accurate reproduction of the employed techniques that possibly leads to quicker establishment of the method and less animal sacrifice. Critical points are bleeding, cold and warm ischemia time and bowel anastomotic stenosis/insufficiency. The cold ischemia time in this experimental setting is not as crucial as warm ischemia time but should not exceed 45 minutes. The warm ischemia time should be around 35 minutes and also not exceed 45 minutes, as this may cause higher postoperative mortality. The ideal donor and recipient weight is around 200 g because smaller rats do not tolerate the procedure well and weight over 300 g is associated with excessive intraabdominal fat. The rats lose up to 20% of body weight in the direct postoperative period but should start to gain weight again after 6-8 days postoperatively (Figure 2). Daily health checks (alertness, fur and mucosal appearance, weight, stool quality and frequency) should be performed until the animal is sacrificed. We recommend daily administration of antibiotics and analgesia for at least the first three days as described above. After initial practice, particularly of the microvascular and bowel anastomoses, this model provides reliable and stable long term survival of around 80-90% in the isogenic setting. In the allogenic setting survival is generally lower, depends mainly on immunologic phenomena like acute and chronic rejection and may vary widely according to the immunosuppressive regimen used and tested.
Technical notes: The donor operation time should be about 45 minutes. The recipient operation should not much exceed 1.5 hours. A heating pad should be used routinely to avoid hypothermia in the recipient. For easy vascular access, the lateral tail vein of the recipient can be cannulated at the beginning of the procedure using a 22 G intravenous catheter. Irrigation of the intestinal lumen, as described above may not be necessary, omitting this step has to our knowledge no negative effects on outcome and mortality.
Animal study requirements: The animals were kept according to applying laws and regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany, State North Rhine-Westfalia. The document numbers under which the experiments were approved can be requested from the corresponding author.

In situ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) have been used to study the electronic structure of Pb thin films grown on a Si(111) substrates. The experiments reveal that the electronic structure near the Fermi energy is dominated by a set of m-shaped subbands because of strong quantum confinement in the films, and the tops of the m-shaped subbands form an intriguing ring-like Van Hove singularity. Combined with theoretical calculations, we show that it is the Van Hove singularity that leads to an extremely high density of states near the Fermi energy and the recently reported strong oscillations (with a period of two monolayers) in various properties of Pb films.

Sofia Vergara Covers First Issue of Walgreen's New Beauty Magazine
Posted on March 31, 2014
Sofia Vergara covers the first issue of Discover Beauty Within, a new magazine from Walgreens. The publication was created by Lebhar-Friendman Publishing and Walgreen. It is available at Walgreens and Duane Reade drugstores. It includes editorial content as well as coupons from Walgreens' merchandising partners. The magazine costs $1.99.
Sofia told Discovery Beauty Within in the interview, "As a Latina woman, we take pride in looking good! My mother always taught me to leave the house looking my best, and that is part of who I am. I like to feel sexy, and a pair of high heels, big lashes and a bold lip color help me feel my best."
Sofia also gives beauty tips like drinking lots of water and getting plenty of sleep. She also talked about the Killer Women show she is producing for ABC, which she says is based on Argentine crime drama called Mujeres Asesinas.
Steven Dixon, publisher of the new magazine, says in a statement, "Beauty magazines are aspirational for most women and our objective is to change that. At a cover price of only $1.99 combined with an incredible value in offers from our partners, Discover Beauty Within is a worthwhile purchase for customers who appreciate savings while reading about the latest beauty news. The publication will feature candid interviews with empowering women like Sofia Vergara and Gabrielle Reece."

Agile software development - wrong or right?
This post is a result of a discussion about software development methodologies, which some of the people involved were convinced that Agile was just a chaotic way of getting a software product done.
The Agile software development methodologies are often mistakenly compared to cowboy coding and related to undisciplined developers. This couldn't be more far from the truth. But before I continue, let me explain what Agile software development is.
Agile is a conceptual framework that tries to mitigate the risks in a project by developing software in a short amount of time. It's an iterative method, and each iteration can last 1 to 4 weeks, having casual tasks from a complete project life cycle (planning, design, coding, testing and documentation).
Each iteration starts by defining the requirements (interaction stories) and ends with potentially market-ready software.
Teams have the ability to self organize as they speak directly with other team members and the stakeholders.
But what makes Agile really different from other methodologies is the fact that the entire process is adaptive. While others like the waterfall model, spend allot of time and effort trying to predict every aspect of the process, Agile just keeps going and adapts itself to whatever comes along. Just think about all the planning that the waterfall needs, and then if something changes, it goes back to the start. It's slow and tends to resist change.
Of course that this is not suited for every software project. The best case for Agile is when you have a medium size project with a small team (up to 20 programmers), a constantly changing environment, and a demanding client that loves to add or remove features from the projects every new day (don't they all do?) and is collaborative.
In the end, you get a happy client, because he is not locked up in a contractual negotiation, instead he collaborates in the project and has the freedom to change his mind whenever he feels that something should be different. Generally this also increases usability, because once again, the client/user took part in the process. Quoting Jakob Nielsen regarding Agile methods:
"Agile methods hold promise for addressing the many ways in which traditional development methodologies erect systematic barriers to good usability practice."
You can read the article about usability and Agile methods by Jakob Nielsen right here.
There are some famous examples of Agile methods, like XP (Extreme Programming) or Scrum, and I will talk about them later in another post. For now, just concluding the title, Agile is probably the right way for most of today's projects, specially in the Web 2.0 field. But it's not easy to change to this kind of methodology, and requires everyone involved to collaborate intensively. If the change comes naturally, you will probably get great and fast results.

Biotechnology Consultation Agency Response Letter BNF No. 000127
Return to inventory: Completed Consultations on Foods from Genetically Engineered Plant Varieties
See also Biotechnology: Genetically Engineered Plants for Food and Feed and about Submissions on Bioengineered New Plant Varieties
CFSAN/Office of Food Additive Safety
April 23, 2012
Ms. Margaret A. Wideman
Regulatory Affairs Manager
Monsanto Company
800 North Lindbergh Boulevard
St. Louis, MO 63167
Dear Ms. Wideman:
This letter is in regard to Monsanto's consultation with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition and Center for Veterinary Medicine) on genetically engineered canola, MON 88302. According to information Monsanto has provided, MON 88302 canola is genetically engineered to confer resistance to the herbicide glyphosate. The herbicide tolerance in MON 88302 was achieved through the expression of the cp4 epsps gene. All materials relevant to this notification have been placed in a file designated BNF 000127. This file will be maintained in the Office of Food Additive Safety.
As part of bringing this consultation to closure, Monsanto submitted a summary of its safety and nutritional assessment of the genetically engineered canola on March 23, 2011. Monsanto submitted additional information on June 14, 2011, and September 16, 2011. These communications informed FDA of the steps taken by Monsanto to ensure that this product complies with the legal and regulatory requirements that fall within FDA's jurisdiction. Based on the safety and nutritional assessment Monsanto has conducted, it is our understanding that Monsanto has concluded that food and feed derived from MON 88302 canola are not materially different in composition, safety, and other relevant parameters from canola-derived food and feed currently on the market, and that genetically engineered MON 88302 canola does not raise issues that would require premarket review or approval by FDA.
It is Monsanto's responsibility to obtain all appropriate clearances, including those from the Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Department of Agriculture, before marketing food or feed derived from MON 88302 canola.
Based on the information Monsanto has presented to FDA, we have no further questions concerning food and feed derived from MON 88302 canola at this time. However, as you are aware, it is Monsanto's continuing responsibility to ensure that foods marketed by the firm are safe, wholesome, and in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. A copy of the text of this letter responding to BNF 000127, as well as a copy of the text of FDA's memorandum summarizing the information in BNF 000127, is available for public review and copying via the FDA Completed Consultations on Bioengineered Foods page at www.fda.gov/bioconinventory.
Sincerely yours,

The New Face of Philanthropy - In search of a purpose-driven life
What once was a subject of discussion for old-money circles has now become the focus of individuals in search of mission-driven career paths and purpose-driven lives. The act of donating money, goods, time or effort to support a charitable cause has become a process engaged in not only by the wealthy but by individuals who do not possess great wealth and are committed to improving the quality of human life.
The enormity of the work and reach of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has made philanthropy more mainstream. Similarly, Irish Singer Bono and his "Red" campaign to fight HIV/AIDS has brought global press coverage to the topic, while young, rich, socially conscious entrepreneurs like eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are changing philanthropy through unique networks and new forms of giving.
But an important gap exists in the representation of today's new philanthropist. An African-American group is steadily emerging outside the glare of the limelight as radical world changers — men and women who are challenging the status quo and taking tremendous leaps of faith for change for the global good. Typically, they are individuals who have excelled academically and are on the fast track for career growth, but who feel spiritually unfulfilled from being unable to use their ordinary lives for the good of their communities. Indeed, the new face of philanthropy is incomplete unless it reflects these young African-Americans who are now finding ways to address an array of socioeconomic disparities, often by partnering with large corporations. They include Scott Abdul-Salaam, Etu Evans and Tiffany M. Gardner. founders of ScottCares Foundation, Solesville and One World Foundation, respectively.
Social entrepreneurs with innovative solutions to society's most pressing social problems, they are more strategic, more global and demand more results than previous generations of African-American philanthropists. They may not have a pool or channel of wealth to fund the initiatives they are leading, but they have become so connected to the issues that they self-fund many of their projects while seeking financial support for expansion.
As with any entrepreneurial endeavor, starting and developing a nonprofit organization can be challenging, but entering the nonprofit arena is particularly frustrating and often downright discouraging, with stringent tax, bookkeeping and personnel regulations to be observed. The new African-American philanthropists bring to their endeavors valuable exposure to corporate development and business training. However, the lack of seed funding or a large capital campaign can make it difficult to sustain those endeavors. And while in their corporate careers they find support among mentors and advisers developed over years of networking and from various experiences, finding the same support in the world of nonprofits and foundations requires familiarity with an entirely new set of events, meetings and people to whom they must gain access and with whom they must build relationships.
Despite these challenges, the emerging African-American philanthropist presses on, committed to their choice to transfer the focus of their everyday lives from the bottom line to helping create a better world.

FTSE 100 company Tullow Oil today said it has acquired Norwegian explorer Spring Energy for $372 million (£233 million), but its shares tumbled by more than 5% as it revealed disappointing results from test drilling in Ghana.
Spring holds 28 licences covering about 18,000 square kilometres in the North, Norwegian and Barents seas. Its acquisition is part of a strategy of selling off less-productive, aging assets and concentrating on higher-growth ones. Morgan Stanley analysts said: "A disappointing well result from Ghana overshadows a positive refocusing of the portfolio towards exploration."
Tullow chief executive Aidan Heavey said: "Active portfolio management is a key part of Tullow's exploration-led strategy." He added that the transaction was "part of an ongoing process of carefully refocusing our business and ensuring efficient allocation of capital by monetising non-core assets and re-investing the proceeds in high-potential oil exploration."
The shares fell 73p to 1183p.

Low boost for no reason
Out of the blue my max boost went from .09MPa to .04MPa. Bone stock no tune. I haven't even opened the hood since my last oil change back in MAY or when I adjusted my head lights. last month.
Stock 03 WRX. I did a search and found others with the same problem but they weren't stock and they never say what fixed it.
Maybe the solenoid is going out? or perhaps you got a boost leak. It not uncommon for hoses to split and cause low boost.
Discount the hoses from the bcs and test it.
If ## boost is ok, bsc is bad.
Happened to me in my all turbo car.

Discount the hoses? I think you mean "disconnect". bcs? I assume you mean the boost control solenoid? How do you test it? where is it? ##boost? Not a clue what that means. How would I know if it is ok? What is an all turbo car?

Ha! And here I thought he was talking about the rock band. There,now that we've bridged the generation gap how 'bout a little help?!Notfunny!
Try getting a boost leak test done. Dealership might do it, or a performance shop can do one. They will disconnect the hose going to your air intake filter, and hook a coupler with a PSI gauge to it and run air into it, if you have a boost leak the air is going to be escaping from the leak, hopefully you will be able to hear it, if not it may take some feeling around.
If there is no boost leak, you can start looking at the solenoid, this thread might be of interest: [url=http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1327478]How to test boost control solenoid - NASIOC[/url]
Use soapy water (dawn in a spray bottle) when running the BLT, helps a ton.

Blt ....mmmmm!
Boost leak test there buddy;)
Luckily the boost system in these cars are pretty simple. Try looking under the hood of a twin turbo car, that's a nightmare, atleast the JZ's are.
I tried resetting the ECU last Sunday and I took it on the interstate this morning for the 1st time since then. My turbo is hitting full boost now. I don't even know why I tried that. It was just the first thing that popped into my head.
Now my question is...why? Why did my boost cut out? Why did it come back when I reset my ECU?
No CEL? I wonder if the idiot light is not working.

Why consider psychotherapy?
At some point in our lives all of us are faced with a problem that seems to stay with us. It might be something tangible – like a relationship that isn't working, an unresolved situation at home or at work, a life event, or a trauma that continues to cause distress. Or it could be something more intangible – a feeling that something just isn't right, or even a wish to make more sense of your life.
Trying to deal with this on your own can be lonely. At the heart of therapy is a collaboration between two people whose work is to make sense of what is troubling you. Together we consider the connections between your present and past experiences – not like an archaeological dig, but as an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of yourself which can inform the way you relate to those around.
My clinical experience
I am a very experienced psychoanalytical psychotherapist who has provided therapy to people from all walks of life, through my private practice and within the NHS, for over 11 years.
As a psychotherapist, I have worked with adults across the age range and have helped people with a wide range of psychological difficulty, from the mild to the more complex end of the spectrum. I am committed to providing psychotherapy in a safe and confidential environment and am bound by the code of ethics of the Forum for Independent Psychotherapists.
Private Medical Insurance Registers for Psychotherapy
I am a registered provider for a number of private medical insurance companies including; PruHealth, WPA and BUPA

The storm in a teacup over a comment by retired Army General Wesley Clark continues echoing in the halls of Republican followers of John McCain. The senator from Arizona denounced Clark's comment "I don'[t think riding in a fighter plane and getting show down is a qualification to be president." McCain demanded "I think it is time for Senator Obama to not just repudiate General Clark but to cut him loose." Several Republican leaders blame Senator Obama for "nodding and winking" about the Clark statement despite the fact he referred to it in negative terms.
Senator McCain's demand that General Clark be"cut loose" is confusing since there is nothing to cut him loose from since he has no official role in the Obama campaign. The self righteous anger of Republicans concerning remarks about a man who fought in Vietnam might be taken more seriously if they had also been made against the filthy campaign against Senator Kerry who served in Vietnam while draft dodger Dick Cheney and coward George Bush made certain they were no where near actual fighting.
General Wesley Clark was in actual combat and risked his life. Senator Lindsay Graham claims McCain's torture experience made him an expert on issues such as torture. However, while General Clark denounced torture as a means of interrogation, Senator McCain refused to vote against a bill that would have prevented torture being used in the interrogation process.
P.S. Senator John F. Kennedy was elected based on his political ideas not because he commanded a P.T. boat in the Pacific that got shot up and destroyed.

Kevin Federline - the ex-husband of Britney Spears - is reportedly set to become a father for the fifth time, with girlfriend Victoria Prince being five months pregnant with her first child.
Kevin Federline is set to become a father for the fifth time.
The 33-year-old star - who has two sons Sean Preston, five, and Jayden James, four, with ex-wife Britney Spears - is reportedly expecting his fifth child with girlfriend Victoria Prince.
While this will be Victoria's first child, Kevin - who has been dating the 28-year-old former professional volleyball player for more than two years - is also dad to Kori, eight, and six-year-old Kaleb, his children with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson.
A source close to the couple told E! Online: "They are totally happy."
Kevin - who divorced Britney in 2007 after three years of marriage - still officially has the sole custody of the former couple's sons Sean and Jayden, although the youngsters currently split their time between both parents.
With Victoria reportedly being five months pregnant, she can be confident of her partner's parenting skills, as in 2008 he was named Father of the Year by Las Vegas nightclub Prive.
Meanwhile, in November 2007, Details magazine named Kevin as one of their Fathers of the Year, alongside the late Anna Nicole Smith's ex-partner, Larry Birkhead.
At the time, the magazine explained: "The New Dad, as represented by Kevin and Birkhead, is involved. He trucks the kids to the supermarket, decorates their bedrooms, and even lets them dictate the direction of his career."

50 Shades of Grey Watches
OK, if we're going to do this (and by "this" I mean buy one of these watches) it's probably best if we have a safe word. I was thinking the safe word could be "more" or "harder" or "awww yeah that's it." It could also just be "stop" but where's the fun in that?

The Obama administration may be crowing about its "historic" emissions agreement.
So if a device can help make a significant dent in usage, it can save a lot of watts, a lot of money, and a lot of emissions.
Smart grid systems can enable big savings in emissions but there has to be a plan for putting them into effect.
And the emissions from electricity generation are growing faster than are those from transportation.
Energy companies want to ward off greater regulation of emissions.
In five days the emissions were entirely suppressed, and have not returned to this time (over two years ago).
Its emissions must always be in a compound ratio to the fund and the demand.
By June 1, this had kindled into a blaze overpowering all other emissions.
Now, we may say of registers that they are to the larnyx what emissions are to the mouth.
Pennsylvania was always more moderate in its emissions of paper money than any other of our colonies.
early 15c., "something sent forth," from Middle French émission (14c.) and directly from Latin emissionem (nominative emissio) "a sending out, projecting, hurling, letting go, releasing," from past participle stem of emittere "send out" (see emit). Meaning "a giving off or emitting" is from 1610s.

No. I have an affinity for cats and seem to understand their nature. My first cat could never be held or cuddled and was pretty grumpy overall. I do try to get them to come over or win their affection and sometimes it works and other times not. I don't take offense to it. In a way that's what I kind of like about cats. Things have to be on their terms.
I know I would've tried to pet a Siamese! They are one of my favorite breeds. My neighbor had a chocolate point that was a retired show cat with a big belly, a sweet and chatty nature. Her name was Lola.
Anyway to get back on topic, I found a mother cat with two kittens who were living under my front porch. She was extremely aggressive to where I thought she may be feral. Looking back she most likely was being protective of her kittens. I am a sucker for kitties and was determined to help. I began bribing her with deli turkey which was all the motivation she needed to come out of her shell. I discovered she was sweet as pie once she warmed up to me and would follow me around the yard like a dog
. When my neighbor took her kittens I found a rescue place that helped me get her fixed and her shots done if I fostered her and got her a home. She ended up with a great lady who had recently lost her previous cat and had a huge property for her to roam around on. I would've kept her for myself if she got along with my other cat.

A couple are suing a London hospital for £300,000 for failing to spot a genetic fault which they claim led to the death of their three-month-old son.
Catherine Allibone, 34, gave birth to Jasper unaware that he had a rare chromosomal abnormality, despite having had tests which should have identified it before he was conceived.
She and her husband Richard, who live in Kew, have begun proceedings in the High Court against St George's
Hospital in Tooting for failing to provide a "competent standard of care" leading to the "horrendous ordeal" of their son's short life.
Jasper, who was born in September 2009, suffered from severe brain and physical disabilities. His parents were told there was no prospect of improvement in his condition.
Mrs Allibone, 34, who works in public relations, said: "We believe there were multiple failings in our case, but despite our horrendous ordeal we still regard the NHS very highly, predominantly due to the amazing care received at the Royal Brompton paediatric unit after Jasper was born."
Mr Allibone, 45, a Cambridge graduate who worked as a global programme director at Deutsche Bank before starting up his own consultancy firm, said: "No one should go through this. It is a terrible experience, and we were let down."
Alison Eddy, a medical law expert at solicitors Irwin Mitchell who are representing the couple, said: "Mr and Mrs Allibone started their legal action against the NHS when Jasper was alive and was likely to need a significant level of care and rehabilitation throughout his life. The couple remain committed to finding answers relating to his birth."
Mrs Allibone has a rare abnormality known as reciprocal translocation — when bits of genetic material known as chromosomes break off and switch places.
Tests to identify this were carried out at St George's during Mrs Allibone's previous pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage, but they were not scrutinised properly, the papers lodged at the High Court claim.
As a result, no tests were done to find out if Jasper had inherited the abnormality from his mother.
The claim details the catastrophic impact that Jasper's birth had on the couple's work and home lives, and the fall-out that occurred from the trauma and anxiety of dealing with such a severely handicapped newborn.
A spokesman from St George's Healthcare NHS Trust said: "As this is an on-going legal case it is inappropriate for the trust to comment at this time."

It is shown that where μ̅s is the average cosine of scattering, then for any set of photons that undergoes exactly n scatterings per photon, the average cosine after scattering is μ̅0μ̅s n, where μ̅0 is the average cosine of the photon flux before scattering. For a set of photons that has traversed distance d through a medium with scattering coefficient b, the average cosine is μ̅0 exp[-bd(1 - μ̅s)]. For water bodies in which loss of upward-scattered photons through the surface is small enough to be disregarded, the value of μ̅c (the average cosine of all the photons instantaneously present in the water column) for any given incoming flux of photons with average cosine μ̅0 is determined entirely by the inherent optical properties of the water in accordance with μ̅c= μ̅0/[1 + (b/a)(1 - μ̅s)], where a and b are the absorption and scattering coefficients.

Britain's Got Talent topped 10 million viewers on ITV1 and was the most-watched show of the day for the third week running on Saturday, 1 May.
However, the other four new ITV1 weekend shows launched at the same time as Britain's Got Talent in mid-April – The Prisoner, The Whole 19 Yards, Marco's Kitchen Burnout and Survival with Ray Mears – are having more mixed ratings fortunes.
Britain's Got Talent attractewd 10.167 million viewers and a 43.5% share on ITV1 in the 8pm hour, with a further 103,000 (0.4%) for the ITV1 HD simulcast.

The ITV1 gameshow was up against the end of BBC1's Doctor Who (6.534 million/32.8%, BBC HD 343,000/1.7%) and Over the Rainbow (5.021 million/23.9%, BBC HD 155,000/0.74%).
On Sunday night, Survival with Ray Mears attracted 3.028 million viewers (14.1%) on ITV1 in the 7pm hour, with a further 64,000 (0.3%) for the ITV1 HD simulcast.
BBC1's Over the Rainbow pulled in 5.321 million viewers (24.3%) for the Sunday results show over 45 minutes from 7.15pm, with 129,000 (0.59%) for the BBC HD simulcast.

Almost 900 million people watched part of the London Games' opening ceremony on television, the International Olympic Committee predicted today.
The near-four-hour show included athletes from 204 teams marching into the Olympic Stadium, a film clip of Queen Elizabeth II hopping on a helicopter with James Bond — starring Daniel Craig — and parachuting into the stadium, the comedy character Mr. Bean playing piano with the London Symphony Orchestra and Paul McCartney leading the 80,000 crowd in singing 'Hey Jude.'
The IOC's television and marketing director, Timo Lumme, said he had a target figure for "global viewership" of the July 27 event.
"That's all eyeballs across the world, perhaps scraping in at just under 900 million people," Lumme told reporters.
The final, official rating will be lower. Known as "average audience," it counts viewers at home who watched for longer periods, and will be announced within months.
Around 80 of 200 national television markets have audited figures, and others are estimated, Lumme said.
Lumme suggested that Usain Bolt's win in the 100-meter final on Sunday will likely be the sports event with the highest TV viewership at the London Games.
"It will comfortably clear 100 million and should be approaching 200 million," Lumme told The Associated Press.
Ratings for the London opening ceremony appear to compare well with the spectacular 2008 Beijing Olympics event, which benefited from unprecedented interest in host country China.
Four years ago, the opening ceremony was estimated to have been seen by more than 1 billion people worldwide, and the official average rating was 593 million.
The BBC reported a peak audience of 27 million for the London ceremony — more than last year's wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The American network NBC said its 40.7 million figure topped that of the opening ceremony for the last Summer Games at home, in Atlanta in 1996.
The Summer Games opening ceremony competes with football's World Cup final as the biggest global television event.
In 2010, 909.6 million viewers watched at least one minute of Spain beating the Netherlands in Johannesburg, South Africa, according to Fifa research.
Fifa reported that the final drew an "average in-home global audience" of 530.9 million.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday had a terse response when asked what should be done if the solicitation of prostitutes is a recurring problem at the Secret Service: "Hire more females."
Nearly two weeks after news broke of the Colombian prostitution scandal involving a dozen Secret Service agents, CBS affiliate KIRO-TV in Seattle reports that Secret Service agents may have solicited prostitutes in El Salvador last year ahead of a presidential trip there.
Secret Service officers have told congressional investigators they are looking into the KIRO report. "This certainly does not mean that there is any validity to [the report], just that they are looking into all allegations," House Homeland Security Committee Chair Peter King, R-N.Y., said.
Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas has requested another briefing with Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan in light of the report.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today said she wasn't familiar with the latest developments, but she defended Sullivan, saying she has "great respect" for his leadership

56 chevy PU /Suburban clip?
Hi Guys,
I'm new, have a chevy 56 pickup. want to upgrade the front suspension. the roads where I live are unpredictable. Have access to chevy suburban IFS, the kind with the rubberless A-arm bushings, using grease zerks. can anyone tell me if this would give me a good ride and tracking ability close to or like the mustang ll ifs? NEED ADVICE!
I think the track width is a bit wide on those. Think it out before you buck your frame in half. If I were you I'd go for the donor Mustang II or a volare, with these your front end will bolt back on normally. I put a volare in this and it handled like a go-cart and stopped on a dime.
Definately check the track width, if that works it's almost a bolt in operation as they unbolt from the donor truck, make sure to get the steering box and drag link and get the mesurements to mount the box from the original truck.

My 57 sits on a 67'and 78' chevy hybred frame. Yes the track width is a bit wide. Mine sits a bit high so tire clearance is not a problem. However, I plan on having custom wheels made so I can drop it. If you ran skinnies up front you could make it work with off the shelf wheels. Here is a pic of mine.
Wow that is tiny. You can see it in my photo album.

Thanks magster, jalopy and turbo...
The control arms would come from the suburban but there's a plan to use another frame where the width would be right. Does anyone know if there is a cross member that could be had to adapt the suburban's control arms to the original frame of the 56' without having to chop it in half? would this correct the "too wide" problem?
Pilipino Caba?
The frame's width is not the issue, the front clip is. You say that the roads are unpredicable which tells me that you're not planning on lowering your truck. If so, then you can mount your trucks cab and bed on the Suburban's chassis and running gear. You'll need to fabricate and weld cab mounts and may have to shorten the length of the frame. But it's all do able. I've mounted a '57 cab on a '77 1 ton dually chassis. Here's pics of it: http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=1184251&uid=687113
Good luck.

You need to use the original surburan crossmember. It bolts on as an entire unit. It could be cut down from the center to mix the width
I'm getting the idea. Thanks. What is the end to end width of a Mustang ll IFS installed on a truck such as the 56'? I don't want to cut the frame for future upgradeability. The suburban's parts are the A-arms without the crossmember. Will try and see if thats still around.
To use the suburban a-arms without the crossmember would be more work than I or anybody I know would want to do. I think your best bet may be a MII unit, I run one in a '45 Ford PU and have had no problems to speak of. Call the suppliers and you can get a weld in or bolt in unot to fit your truck and maintain your frames structual integrity. If you still want to use the a-arms find a pickup 73-87, with a crossmember and use that. I see lots of them in alleys and fields around the country.

wonder how much it'd be to ship a crossmember there?
i've got one out of a68-69 chevy pu,should be close and then you could narrow it.
btw, you'll have to narrow the center link also but that's no big deal, i've been running a narrowed center link in my coe for 47K miles with no problems at all..
question; will fabrication be a problem over there?
if so, we COULD talk about what needs to be done and have it narrowed over here.
just a suggestion....
Again, thanks guys for your info. I'm getting closer to figuring out what this project needs. I still need to know, though, what it is about the Mustang ll IFS thats got everyone making and installing them on their rides. Is it steering geometry? Inboard stance? The suburban A-arm idea was from a friend of mine who happens to have one sitting around. The work may be involved, but I imagine it can be done here. I would rather have the better set up if that means the Mustang ll. But at this point, not having driven a truck like ours with a Mll leaves me guessing. I see the bolt-on weld-on units for sale in the mags but am clueless as to the reasons why everyone seems to be going this way. This is where I need your help.
The Mustang II is a nice compact suspension package that'll fit almost anything. The bump steer, disc size, spindle variations, parts availability, adjustability etc. are all hard to beat. The original ford suspension was designed for a 3000(ish) pound car (same ones on Pintos and Bobcats) so I wouldn't use it on your truck. The aftermarket versions are strong and very easy to install but they're expensive. The steering is controlled with a nice compact rack which is a bonus because steering boxes often get in the way. I picked up a '57 GMC recently and I'm going with the volare again, I like how they ride and handle... ever notice what's under a lot of the new cars and trucks these days? Yep, torsion bars.
Thanks magster.I've heard about the volare clip. Its been in the mags for a few years now. I haven't checked on the availability of the volare clip over here. I've heard good things tho.
Thanks magster.I've heard about the volare clip. Its been in the mags for a few years now. I haven't checked on the availability of the volare clip over here. I've heard good things tho.
Thanks tomslik, you feel a crossmember out of a 68 pu is the right width? According to what was measured on the truck I have here, the frame's width comes out to 61 inches. How wide is the crossmember you talk about? I appreciate the offer to go through the trouble of shipping one over here, and that may be in the cards. I understand that NO LIMIT suspensions makes a crossmember that uses wider A-arms out of Camaros. I'm trying to get in touch with them to see if they offer just the crossmember. I know that there are junkyard A-arms around here. Since the roads here are not as well built as the ones in the states, I have to be careful what suspension is put on the truck..

Center Danny Briere and defenseman Nick Grossmann returned to practice Monday for the Flyers, who were hard at work at Skate Zone preparing for a first-round playoff series against the Penguins that opens Wednesday in Pittsburgh.
Both players were injured by Pittsburgh center Joe Vitale two Saturdays ago … Grossmann was hurt on a knee-on-knee collison while Briere sustained a back injury on a hard check.
At Monday's practice, Briere was centering the Flyers second line with Jake Voracek at right wing and Brayden Schenn at left wing.

CAIRO, (Xinhua): At least four soldiers were wounded in a huge car bomb explosion near the military intelligence headquarters in Egypt's Sharqiya governorate, state TV reported Sunday.
The front walls of the building have been smashed, the report said, adding that the injured have been taken to the nearest hospital, and an explosion team has arrived at the scene to defuse possible other bombs.
Meanwhile, state-run Ahram website quoted a military source as saying that an explosive device planted in the backyard of the military compound in Belbeis district caused the blast.
No death was reported so far, but the TV said two of the injured are in serious conditions.
"Sunday's blast had partially destroyed the back wall of the building," army spokesman Ahmed Ali said, adding "the blast is the continuation of a series of coward terrorist operations committed by the black terrorism and the strife group against the Egyptian people, the military institution and the state's vital objectives. "
This is the second explosion in a few days hitting a security headquarters in Nile Delta cities. At least 16 people were killed and more than 100 injured in Daqahliya's Mansoura city on Tuesday.
Following Tuesday's attack, the government declared the Muslim Brotherhood, from which ousted president Mohamed Morsi hails, as a terrorist organization, despite the Brotherhood's condemnation against the accident. Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, a Sinai-based jihadist group, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The army-installed government's decision stirred violent protests on Friday that killed five people.

Envato can you please post a reply when (or if) all the first 10 entries have been approved?
There are already nine, so I'd hazard a guess at "not long".
I haven't bothered with it since it looks a bit crap if I'm honest. Boyfriend has a record of 106, though.

The css issue which was mentioned by Shellbot has been fixed on the newest version (we also replied Shellbot on our support forum, thanks for posting ), if you have any other problem, please report to help us improve the product.
The theme probably just supports WooCommerce, in the sense that the author makes sure it will actually work with their theme if you install it and not look a total mess.
I'm not sure what to say about the contact form, I'm not familiar with Croma.Dash (just Googled up a video but it didn't show anything relevant) so can't really advise there. Contact Form 7 is totally customizable and easy to use, but you may not be able to use that with the theme's contact page depending how it's supposed to be set up :\
Sorry I can't be more helpful with that part, but maybe by the time you're finished setting up WooCommerce the theme author will get back to your question in the theme comments!
When you first install WooCommerce you should get a big obvious notification asking if you'd like it to automatically create some default store pages for you (shop, checkout, my account etc). This is the easiest way to get set up so I'd recommend letting it do that.
If that notification didn't happen it might be worth uninstalling the plugin entirely and installing it again.
What does the theme documentation say about contact forms? Should it be built in or does it support a plugin like Contact Form 7?
I've got cake, popcorn and booze. Tonight will be fine, tomorrow will be another matter
Broncos! Since my Packers aren't playing, I basically just picked the team that annoys me least.
Shame it starts at half ten at night over here >.<
The great plains of Pinterest would be my first pick, although having Instagrammers on one side and Twitterers on the other might be a bit much.
The idea is for your users to be able to access content they create with this CPT, regardless of which themes they use over the years. Your theme can and should have extra styling to make the CPT look perfect alongside everything else, but when your theme is disabled the content itself remains.
Sidenote: I've also struggled to find these requirements written down anywhere on TF, but am glad they're being adopted anyway.
Has anyone actually got IG Pagebuilder working? I installed the plugin, it immediately reduced the text size across my site and removed the formatting in all my posts.
I feel like if it was really this broken, more people would be mentioning it in the support forum on wp.org. Is it just me? Am I going crazy?

I'm not sure I have any definitive answers but wanted to reply because your feelings echo some of mine. I have been dancing for about 2 1/2 years and despite being quite serious about it, have hesitated to jump into the world of competition because of the expense. (I've overcome this hesitation to the extent that I am finally entering my first competition next month). I agree that it seems our choices are either competition or social dancing, although my local ballroom club does have showcase or exhibition nights 2 or 3 times a year for folks who want to "perform" for their peers. I think this is a wonderful avenue for people who take lessons and are serious about progressing in their dancing but don't want to participate in competitions.
My main problem is slightly different than what you are descibing--I very much want an amateur partner to work with, and maybe compete with, but it seems difficult to find someone in my community with the same dance goals, in terms of amount of practice time, how often & who to get coaching or lessons from, whether to concentrate primarily on one style or diversify, etc. To increase my opportunities to find a regular partner, I actively participate in ballroom, country western and swing clubs in my community, but am not sure this is a good idea because I seem to be spreading myself too thin and am probably not making the progress I would make if I stuck to one category. Obviously it's not working because I have lots of dance friends but haven't yet met a suitable practice or competition partner.
Since you are obviously interested in progressing in your dancing, maybe you could decide to compete occasionally (once a year?)in order to get inspiration & give yourself a goal to work toward but continue your social dancing with a partner who is diligent as you and has similar goals in his dancing. And if this gentleman has a brother who dances, please pass along his name & address!
I, too, would be interested in hearing what others have to say about these issues.

Olympics may shine but plenty to lament in recession-hit Rio
By Paulo Prada
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Across a busy street from the Maracanã stadium, host of two World Cup finals and next month the stage for the opening of the first-ever Olympics in South America, squats the massive concrete complex of the State University of Rio de Janeiro.
But the university, a pioneer in offering scholarships for low-income and minority students, has not enjoyed the same government largesse as the emblematic stadium, recipient since 2010 of more than 1.2 billion reais ($370 million) in state funds for World Cup and Olympic remodeling.
Even as producers test lights at the Maracanã for showtime Aug. 5, garbage mounts at the campus where 23,000 student have not attended classes since March because of missed payments to professors, contractors and university staff.
A nearby university hospital, a regional center for transplants and cancer treatments, has been so short of funds that doctors have this year regularly had to cut back on treatment because they lacked syringes, latex gloves, chemotherapy medicines and antibiotics.
"It has never been so precarious," says Edmar Santos, the hospital's director, explaining that cutbacks in the state budget mean the facility some days treats fewer than half the patients it normally would.
Two weeks before the Games begin, a recession and fiscal crisis are biting deep into the lives of more than 12 million people who live in and around this coastal city, stoking resentment over the some 40 billion reais ($12 billion) spent on Olympic projects.
State pensioners and employees, including teachers, health workers and police, have been getting paid late or not at all.
Many residents are unhappy that so-called Olympic legacy projects, including a new subway line and bus corridors, do little to help most of the population, instead further benefiting upscale districts. Continued...
