Thank you for the OpenVPN corrections. I've been wanting to set one up and now will try out the steps with your corrections. Cheers. Perspectoff 04:47, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
The OpenVPN page still has quite a few things that still needs to be edited. if no one jumps in to edit it, I'll get it myself slowly over the next couple days I am somewhat inexperienced with OpenVPN and want to make sure i am not adding incorrect information, so you may want to wait a week before using the instructions --Nexpe 20:00, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- No worries. Almost everything I've written in this guide I've sorted out the same way: slowly and step by step over a week or two. I'll wait for you to do it this time, lol! I've been meaning to set up VPN for about 6-8 months but never got around to it. Glad to have you taking the time to sort it out properly! Cheers. Perspectoff 04:51, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Miraculous: Ray's seven RBIs lead way
Fort Myers outfielder smacks grand slam in his four-hit outing
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | August 7, 2012 7:32 PM ET
Ray hit a grand slam in the third inning and capped his career night with a solo homer in the sixth, finishing 4-for-6 with seven RBIs, as Class A Advanced Fort Myers set season records in a 22-5 rout of Jupiter at Hammond Stadium.
Technically, he topped his June numbers in five at-bats -- he popped up in his final plate appearance. The damage was already done, though, as he helped the Miracle set team season records for runs, hits (20) and homers (four) in a game.
"It's pretty unbelievable actually," Ray said. "One of the best games of my life, and I'm kinda speechless. It was really good to put the barrel on the ball and get some good results."
Ray wasn't the only one who connected Tuesday -- Steve Liddle went 4-for-5 with three RBIs and three runs scored, Angel Morales was 3-for-6 with three runs and Josmil Pinto went 3-for-4 and knocked home three.
"It was unbelievable as a team," said Ray, Minnesota's eighth-round pick in 2010. "Our last seven games, we went 1-6 and got beat up, so it was nice to turn that around, get a few hits on some other guys and run around the bases."
Ray's grand slam in the third came off Jupiter starter Chad James (5-8), who was charged with six runs over two innings.
"I was just trying to get something up in the zone to hit to the outfield and get a run across," Ray said. "2-0 count, fastball middle-in, I was able to stay down on it, get it elevated and it went out of the yard."
Three innings later, Ray hit his second homer of the month.
"0-2 count, I'm just trying to stay short, get the ball in play," Ray said of his at-bat against Dane Stone. "Fastball up, and I put a good swing on it."
Ray needed a triple for the cycle. He said he knew it, and so did the rest of the Miracle dugout.
"My teammates were giving me a hard time," he laughed. "I needed a triple in my last two at-bats, Angel did too. They give us a hard time, and I hit a home run instead."
Ray, who homered and popped up in his final two at-bats, said he faced a similar scenario once at the University of Kentucky.
"I had the same thing happen, I needed a single in college at Indiana and accidentally hit a homer too."
Ray would welcome some more accidental long balls, especially in a season in which he entered the game batting .223. He raised his average Tuesday by 10 points.
"It's been a season full of ups and downs, but that's the way baseball is," he said. "Tough games and streaks, but things are starting to come around a little bit. The whole team is kinda going better. We're trying to make a final run and try to make a run at the playoffs."
Fort Myers, who got a boost from rehabbing starter Carl Pavano on Tuesday, had dropped five straight to Daytona and St. Lucie before splitting their previous two games entering Tuesday. A 22-run win, though, can be a stress reliever.
"Kinda eye-opening for some of the guys, for most of us, it's a boost of confidence," Ray said. "We were joking around in the dugout. I think everyone had a hit and it was a great team effort."
Fort Myers' previous season high in runs was 13 against Lakeland on May 7.
Pavano, on the Twins' 60-day disabled list with right rotator cuff weakness, allowed a run on two hits without a walk over two frames. He struck out one, but gave up a homer.
"There is no date to get him back here," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said Friday. "His last couple bullpens felt good, his shoulder felt stronger and he's more comfortable."

Just post it. It might be better than whats currently available. Who knows.
After getting BT4 working I started looking through all the tools and noticed that there were two important ones missing (that I couldn't find at least) 1. is a random pass generator that uses up and lowercase alpha, numeric, alphanumeric, and special characters (if you choose) It can handle passes not in the normal word lists like Xx0_13eeR. 2. is a digit appender. Basically just adding x integers onto the end of a string x number of times to make new mutations of a word (i.e. apple becomes apple2016)
I have written a Java version of each that I use on a regular basis now. If anyone is interested I can post a link to the JAR file or just send me a PM. They are still kind of rudimentary but they do allow you to save the passes to an organized .txt file that can be used by all the other tools in BT4 so they integrate well. Also, I kept the size as small as possible so they can be used with a Persistent Thumb Drive.
The only issue to be aware of is output file size. They can get big if you choose too many passes at once.
Just post it. It might be better than whats currently available. Who knows.

Has anyone heard of the Burzynski Clinic? And what do you think if you have?
I have known someone being treated by the Burzynski Clinic. He had a brain tumor. Unfortunately, he did succumb to the cancer. This was about 6 or 7 years ago. Don't know of anyone being treated there for CC.
My parents are desperate and wanting to raise thousands and thousands of dollars to send my sister there. I don't want to do that if he is not legitimate. I called and they don't give you much information on the phone. They just want you to come there.
Lee and I looked into it...they do not take insurance....we dug deeper....found that they were actually raided by FBI in the late 90's and still had cases in court...we spoke to someone, got all the information and was ready to go until we found out they are pretty much a scam. Just really proceed with caution....I would not recommend based on BBB info.
It looked like a scam to me, but just wondering what other people thought. Thank you very much.

Aortic valve stenosis — or aortic stenosis — occurs when the heart's aortic valve narrows. This narrowing prevents the valve from opening fully, which obstructs blood flow from your heart into your aorta and onward to the rest of your body.
When the aortic valve is obstructed, your heart needs to work harder to pump blood to your body. Eventually, this extra work limits the amount of blood it can pump and may weaken your heart muscle.
If you have severe aortic valve stenosis, you'll usually need surgery to replace the valve. Left untreated, aortic valve stenosis can lead to serious heart problems.
Aortic valve stenosis ranges from mild to severe. Aortic valve stenosis signs and symptoms generally develop when narrowing of the valve is severe and can include:
The heart-weakening effects of aortic valve stenosis may lead to heart failure. Heart failure signs and symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, and swollen ankles and feet.
Aortic valve stenosis often doesn't produce warning signs or symptoms right away, making it difficult to detect at first. You also may not recognize that you're experiencing symptoms. The condition is often discovered during a routine physical when your doctor hears an abnormal heart sound (heart murmur). This murmur may occur long before other signs and symptoms develop.
Depending on the amount of narrowing, an infant or child with aortic valve stenosis may have no symptoms, may tire easily or may have chest pain with vigorous physical activity.
Aortic valve stenosis usually affects adults but can occur in children. Infants and children with the condition may experience symptoms similar to those of adults. If you or your child experiences such signs or symptoms, see a doctor — especially if you or your child has a known heart problem.
Aortic valve stenosis is narrowing of the aortic valve. Many things can narrow this passageway between your heart and aorta. Causes of aortic valve stenosis include:
Congenital heart defect. The aortic valve consists of three tightly fitting, triangular-shaped flaps of tissue called cusps. Some children are born with an aortic valve that has only one (unicuspid), two (bicuspid) or four (quadricuspid) cusps — not three. This deformity may not cause any problems until adulthood, at which time the valve may begin to narrow or leak and may need to be repaired or replaced.
Having a congenitally abnormal aortic valve requires regular evaluation by a doctor to watch for signs of valve problems. In most cases, doctors don't know why a heart valve fails to develop properly, so it isn't something you could have prevented.
Calcium buildup on the valve. With age, heart valves may accumulate deposits of calcium (aortic valve calcification). Calcium is a mineral found in your blood. As blood repeatedly flows over the aortic valve, deposits of calcium can accumulate on the valve's cusps. These deposits may never cause any problems. These calcium deposits aren't linked to taking calcium tablets or drinking calcium-fortified drinks.
However, in some people — particularly those with a congenitally abnormal aortic valve, such as a bicuspid aortic valve — calcium deposits result in stiffening of the cusps of the valve. This stiffening narrows the aortic valve and can occur at a younger age. However, aortic valve stenosis that is related to increasing age and the buildup of calcium deposits on the aortic valve is most common in men older than 65 and women older than 75.
Rheumatic fever. A complication of strep throat infection, rheumatic fever may result in scar tissue forming on the aortic valve. Scar tissue alone can narrow the aortic valve and lead to aortic valve stenosis. Scar tissue can also create a rough surface on which calcium deposits can collect, contributing to aortic valve stenosis later in life.
Rheumatic fever may damage more than one heart valve, and in more than one way. A damaged heart valve may not open fully or close fully — or both. While rheumatic fever is rare in the United States, some older adults had rheumatic fever as children.
Your heart, the center of your circulatory system, consists of four chambers. The two upper chambers (atria) receive blood. The two lower chambers (ventricles) pump blood.
Blood returning to your heart enters the right upper chamber (right atrium). From there, blood empties into the right ventricle underneath. The right ventricle pumps blood into your lungs, where blood is oxygenated.
Blood from your lungs then returns to your heart but this time to the left side — to the left upper chamber (left atrium). Blood then flows into the left ventricle — your heart's main pump. With each heartbeat, the left ventricle forces blood through the aortic valve into the aorta, your body's largest artery.
Blood flows through your heart's chambers, aided by four heart valves. These valves open and close to let blood flow in only one direction through your heart:
The aortic valve — your heart's gateway to the aorta — consists of three tightly fitting, triangular-shaped flaps of tissue called cusps. These cusps connect to the aorta via a ring called the annulus.
Heart valves open like a one-way gate. The cusps of the aortic valve are forced open as the left ventricle contracts and blood flows into the aorta. When all of the left ventricular blood has gone through the valve and the left ventricle has relaxed, the cusps swing closed to prevent the blood that has just passed into the aorta from flowing back into the left ventricle.
A defective heart valve is one that fails to either open or close fully. When a valve doesn't close tightly, blood can leak backward. This backward flow through a valve is called regurgitation. When a valve narrows, the condition is called stenosis.
Aortic valve stenosis isn't considered preventable, and presently it's not known why some people develop this condition. Some risk factors include:
A deformed aortic valve. Some people are born with an already narrowed aortic valve or develop aortic valve stenosis later in life because they were born with a bicuspid aortic valve — one with two flaps (cusps) instead of three. People may also develop aortic valve stenosis if they were born with one cusp (unicuspid aortic valve) or four cusps (quadricuspid aortic valve), but these are much more rare conditions.
A bicuspid aortic valve is a major risk factor for aortic valve stenosis. A bicuspid aortic valve can run in families, so knowing your family history is important. If you have a first-degree relative — a parent, sibling or child — with a bicuspid aortic valve, it is reasonable to check to see if you have this abnormality.
Risk factors for aortic valve stenosis and atherosclerotic heart disease are similar — such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and smoking — which may indicate a link between the two.
Aortic valve stenosis — of any cause — can be a serious condition. If the aortic valve is narrowed, the left ventricle has to work harder to pump a sufficient amount of blood into the aorta and onward to the rest of your body.
In response, the left ventricle may thicken and enlarge. At first, these adaptations help the left ventricle pump blood with more force. But eventually it's harder for the heart to maintain the blood flow to the body through the narrowed valve. Then you will start to experience symptoms. Eventually, the extra work of the heart can weaken the left ventricle — and your heart overall.
Left unchecked, aortic valve stenosis can lead to life-threatening heart problems, including:
You're likely to start by first seeing your family doctor. After your initial appointment, your doctor may refer you to a doctor trained in diagnosing and treating heart conditions (cardiologist).
Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Questions to ask your doctor at your initial appointment include:
Questions to ask if you are referred to a cardiologist include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
A doctor who sees you for possible aortic valve stenosis may ask:
While you wait for your appointment, check with your family members to find out if any close relatives have been diagnosed with cardiac disease. The symptoms of aortic valve stenosis are similar to a number of other heart conditions, including some that tend to run in families. Knowing as much as possible about your family's health history will help your doctor determine the next steps for your diagnosis and treatment.
If exercise makes your symptoms worse, avoid exerting yourself physically until you've been seen by your doctor.
To diagnose your condition, your doctor will review your medical history and symptoms and conduct a physical examination. As part of a routine physical exam, your doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to your heart. He or she is listening for, among other things, an abnormal heart sound (heart murmur).
If your doctor discovers a heart murmur, he or she will discuss it with you. Many heart conditions, including aortic valve stenosis, can produce a heart murmur. In the case of aortic valve stenosis, the heart murmur results from turbulent blood flow through the narrowed valve.
If your doctor suspects that you or your child may have a deformed or narrowed aortic valve, you may need to undergo several tests to confirm the diagnosis and gauge the severity of the problem. You may be referred to a doctor trained in heart conditions (cardiologist) for tests such as:
Echocardiogram. This test uses sound waves to produce an image of your heart. This is the primary test your doctor may use to diagnose your condition if he or she suspects you have a heart valve condition. In an echocardiogram, sound waves are directed at your heart from a wandlike device (transducer) held on your chest. The sound waves bounce off your heart and are reflected back through your chest wall and processed electronically to provide video images of your heart.
An echocardiogram helps your doctor closely examine the heart and heart valves to check for any problems or abnormalities. This test helps your doctor to diagnose aortic valve stenosis, evaluate the severity of your condition and determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition. An echocardiogram will also be used to monitor your condition over time.
In some cases, your doctor may insert a tube with a transducer attached to it and guide it down your throat into your esophagus (transesophageal echocardiogram) while you are sedated. This type of echocardiogram may offer more detailed images of your heart.
Chest X-ray. An X-ray image of your chest allows your doctor to check the size and shape of your heart to determine whether the left ventricle is enlarged — a possible indicator of aortic valve stenosis.
A chest X-ray can also reveal calcium deposits on the aortic valve. In addition, a chest X-ray helps your doctor check the condition of your lungs. Aortic valve stenosis may lead to blood and fluid backing up in your lungs, which causes congestion that may be visible on an X-ray.
Cardiac catheterization. Your doctor may order this procedure if noninvasive tests haven't provided enough information to firmly diagnose the type or severity of your heart condition. In this procedure, your doctor threads a thin tube (catheter) through an artery in your arm or groin and guides it to an artery in your heart.
Doctors may inject a dye through the catheter, which helps your arteries become visible on an X-ray (coronary angiogram). This test helps show any blockages in arteries to your heart that can coexist with aortic valve stenosis that may need surgical treatment along with aortic valve stenosis.
These tests and others help your doctor determine how narrow or tight your aortic valve may be and how well your heart is pumping. Once aortic valve stenosis is discovered, your doctor will either recommend treatment or suggest careful monitoring.
Medications sometimes can ease symptoms of aortic valve stenosis. However, the only way to eliminate aortic valve stenosis is surgery to repair or replace the valve and open up the passageway.
Surgery isn't always needed right away. If tests reveal that you have mild to moderate aortic valve stenosis and you have no symptoms, your doctor will schedule checkups to carefully monitor the valve so that surgery can be done at the appropriate time. In follow-up appointments, your doctor will review your medical history and conduct a physical examination. Your doctor may also discuss symptoms and what to expect as your condition progresses.
Your doctor may order an echocardiogram to view your aortic valve and monitor your condition every three to five years if you have mild aortic valve stenosis, and every year if you have moderate aortic valve stenosis.
If you have severe aortic valve stenosis, your doctor may schedule checkups every three to six months. Your doctor may order an echocardiogram every six to 12 months to view your heart valve and monitor your condition. In some cases, your doctor may order additional tests.
In general, surgery is necessary when narrowing becomes severe and symptoms develop. In some cases, your doctor may recommend surgery if you have severe aortic valve stenosis even if you aren't experiencing symptoms. If you have moderate or severe aortic valve stenosis and other conditions that require heart surgery, your doctor may recommend surgery to treat your conditions.
No medications can reverse aortic valve stenosis. However, your doctor may prescribe certain medications to help your symptoms, such as ones to reduce fluid accumulation, to slow your heart rate or to control heart rhythm disturbances associated with aortic valve stenosis. Lowering blood pressure may prevent or slow the development of aortic stenosis. Ask your doctor if you need to lower your blood pressure with medications.
You may need valve repair or replacement to treat aortic valve stenosis. Although less invasive approaches are possible in some cases, surgery is the primary treatment for this condition.
Therapies to repair or replace the aortic valve include:
Balloon valvuloplasty. Occasionally, balloon valvuloplasty is an option. Balloon valvuloplasty uses a soft, thin tube (catheter) tipped with a balloon.
A doctor guides the catheter through a blood vessel in your groin to your heart and into your narrowed aortic valve. Once in position, a balloon at the tip of the catheter is inflated. The balloon pushes open the aortic valve and stretches the valve opening, improving blood flow. The balloon is then deflated, and the catheter with the balloon is guided back out of your body.
Balloon valvuloplasty may relieve aortic valve stenosis and its symptoms, especially in infants and children. However, in adults, the valve tends to narrow again even after initial success. For these reasons, doctors rarely use balloon valvuloplasty today to treat aortic valve stenosis in adults, except in people who are too sick to undergo surgery or are waiting for a transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Aortic valve replacement. This is the primary surgical treatment for severe aortic valve stenosis. Your surgeon removes the narrowed aortic valve and replaces it with a mechanical valve or a tissue valve. This procedure is generally performed during open-heart surgery.
Mechanical valves, made from metal, are durable, but they carry the risk of blood clots forming on or near the valve. If you receive a mechanical valve, you'll need to take an anticoagulant medication, such as warfarin (Coumadin), for life to prevent blood clots.
Tissue valves — which may come from a pig, cow or human deceased donor — often eventually narrow over the years and need to be replaced. Another type of tissue valve replacement that uses your own pulmonary valve (autograft) is sometimes possible but less likely in an older person. Your doctor can discuss the risks and benefits of each type of heart valve with you. Aortic valve replacement can relieve aortic valve stenosis and its symptoms.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Aortic valve replacement, the most common treatment for aortic valve stenosis, has traditionally been performed with open-heart surgery.
A less invasive approach — transcatheter aortic valve replacement — involves replacing the aortic valve with a prosthetic valve via the femoral artery in your leg (transfemoral) or the left ventricular apex of your heart (transapical).
In TAVR, doctors insert a catheter with a balloon at the tip in an artery in your leg or in a small incision in your chest and guide it to your heart and into your aortic valve. A balloon at the tip of the catheter, which has a folded valve around it, is then inflated. This pushes open the aortic valve and stretches the valve opening and expands the folded valve into the aortic valve. Doctors then deflate the balloon and guide the catheter with the balloon back out of your body. Alternatively, a self-expanding valve may be inserted into the aortic valve, and a balloon then isn't used.
In some cases, a valve can be inserted via a catheter into a tissue replacement valve that needs to be replaced (valve-in-valve procedure).
TAVR is usually reserved for individuals with severe aortic valve stenosis who are at increased risk of complications from aortic valve surgery. This procedure can relieve severe aortic valve stenosis and its symptoms in those who are at increased risk of complications from aortic valve surgery. TAVR has a higher risk of stroke and vascular complications than aortic valve replacement surgery. The technique is relatively new and is evolving quickly, and there are newer valves and indications occurring frequently. TAVR is sometimes referred to as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Aortic valve stenosis can be treated effectively with surgery. However, you'll need regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to check for any changes in your condition. You may still be at risk of irregular heart rhythms even after you've been treated for aortic valve stenosis. You may need to take medications to lower that risk. If your heart has become weakened from aortic valve stenosis, you may need medications to treat heart failure.
If you've had aortic valve replacement surgery, you need to take antibiotics before certain dental or medical procedures due to the risk of infection in your heart tissue (endocarditis).
Some possible ways to prevent aortic valve stenosis include:
Once you know that you have aortic valve stenosis, your doctor may recommend that you limit strenuous activity to avoid overworking your heart.
If you're a woman of childbearing age with aortic valve stenosis, discuss pregnancy and family planning with your doctor before you become pregnant. Your heart works harder during pregnancy. How a heart with aortic valve stenosis tolerates this extra work depends on the degree of stenosis and how well your heart pumps. Should you become pregnant, you'll need evaluation by your cardiologist and obstetrician throughout your pregnancy, labor and delivery, and after delivery.
Experience.

Just the title sounds over my head but I am going to give it a try!
Thanks Gavin.
Ok, NOT over my head. Basically it said that they found a protein that could help detect the cc earlier and may help with treatments. It looks like it was a joint project between researchers in Singapore and the US. Great news that people are doing such collaborations.
Hi Kris,
Yep the title went a bit over my head as well! And as you say, it is great that these collaborations are happening, the more the better! Hopefully some good will come of this, well a lot of good hopefully!
Best wishes,
This today from the Singapore Straits Times seems to be a follow up piece here about this development -
http://meltwaternews.com/prerobot/sph.a … 43329.html
"It was also found that MAPK13 plays a role in allowing the tumour cells to move and invade normal organ tissues.
The discovery means the enzyme could complement the current biomarkers used to diagnose bile duct cancer.
'This is significant as it is now possible to deactivate the gene through treatment to slow down the cancerous growth,' Prof Teh, who is also the director of the NCCS-Vari team, told The Straits Times."

text: Well that didn't take long. Just a few days after a judge ordered that Casey Kasem be located, a court investigator has done just that. The DJ legend had been taken from California to Washington State in what is turning into a huge battle between his wife and his kids. The kids have accused Jean Kasem of moving their father constantly and not letting them see him. One of the children was awarded a temporary conservatorship three days ago which led to the order from the judge for Casey to be located. The attorney for Jean Kasem said he didn't know where his client had placed Casey. Casey Kasem suffers from advanced Parkinson's and can longer speak and has been moved from one home to another in an effort to keep him away from his kids. I think they wanted the conservatorship not only to make sure their dad was ok, but also because they probably want to gain access to his financial records to see how much money has been spent by his wife and if there will be anything left for them when he passes.

Randy Travis honoring influences on new CD
Listen to Randy Travis on iHeartRadio
Randy Travis is paying tribute to the artists who inspired him on his new album, Influence Vol. 1: The Man I Am.
The disc features songs originally made famous by such legends as George Jones, Merle Haggard, Ernest Tubb, and Waylon Jennings.
Travis, who continues to recover from a stroke he suffered in July, says his Grand Ole Opry induction enabled him to get to know Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Little Jimmy Dickens, and other pioneering country music stars.
Travis adds that with the album he's not only honoring country's past stars, but trying to keep their legacies alive. He's also hoping to share some of country music's history with today's younger stars and fans.
Influence Vol. 1: The Man I Am is in stores now.

Exercise scientist touts PE to Senate committee
USC exercise scientist Dr. Russell Pate said that his 25 years of research experience underscores the need for the FIT Kids Act, a congressional proposal encouraging quality physical education and activity for all public school children through grade 12.
Russ Pate
The Arnold School professor testified Tuesday (May 18) in support of the legislation during a Capitol Hill hearing of the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, chaired by U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-IA.
The FIT (Fitness Integrated with Teaching) Kids Act, which has been approved by the U.S. House of Representatives, includes amendments to the No Child Left Behind Act that encourage public schools to provide regular and quality physical education and activity and hold schools accountable for meeting national standards.
Pate said his years of research and service on national panels and federal advisory committees on physical activity and prevention of childhood obesity have led him to conclude:
- "To achieve and maintain good health our young people should engage in 60 or more minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day.
- "The vast majority of American children and youth do not meet that guideline; indeed, most do not come close to meeting it.
- "If our students are to meet physical activity guidelines and accrue the associated health benefits, our schools must deliver physical activity programs of the highest quality.
- "An essential step toward ensuring that our schools effectively provide and promote physical activity in their students is to hold those schools accountable for providing physical education and other physical activity programs that meet best-practice standards."

A new Special Collections exhibit, "The Lives of Nobles: Downton Abbey in the Rhinehart Collection," examines a selection of common themes between the hit BBC and PBS series Downton Abbey and the Rhinehart British Studies Rare Book Collection in Special Collections. The exhibit explores the themes of entail, country homes, and country house libraries. The display is located on the Library's 4th floor at the top of the main staircase next to the Rhinehart Rare Books and Special Collections Room.
In Downton Abbey, the library is a common backdrop, yet few people know that we have a similar library right here in Belk Library. The Rhinehart Rare Books and Special Collections room was designed in the style of an English country library.
To more fully absorb the aura of such a library, Special Collections is hosting "A Downton Afternoon" open house in the Rhinehart Room, Wednesday, February 19, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Attendees will have a chance to see the Rhinehart Room and its collection, and enjoy a Downton Abbey-themed afternoon. All are invited. Costumes are optional.
For more information, please contact Greta Browning, Reference Archivist/Librarian, at email@example.com or 828.262.7702.

The Body Mass Index Calculator can be used as a general gauge of how appropriate your body weight is for your height. By entering your current height and weight, you can assess if you are underweight, overweight, or just right.
The BMI Calculator is based on data taken from middle-aged men and women. It may not be accurate for pregnant or nursing women, competitive athletes, and the elderly. The normal ranges for BMI in children are entirely different, and vary according to age and gender.
If you have used other A.D.A.M. tools, some of this information may be filled in for you.
1. Click the appropriate button to indicate if you are entering your weight in pounds or kilograms.
2. Enter your weight.
3. Click the appropriate button to indicate if you are entering your height in feet and inches or in meters and centimeters.
4. Enter your height.
5. Select your status: NONE, BODYBUILDING/ATHLETE, PREGNANT, BREASTFEEDING, or UNDER 18 years of age.
6. When you're finished, click SUBMIT to display the results.
7. To enter new height and weight measurements, click TRY AGAIN.
BMI stands for "body mass index," a numerical value of your weight in relation to your height. BMIs are good indicators of healthy weights for adult men and women, regardless of body frame size. Higher BMIs (25+) are associated with increased health risks in some people. Could your weight be increasing your health risks? Use our BMI Calculator to find out.

The Nobel is not the only award the president does not deserve.
In 2005, she was one of 1,000 women from 140 countries nominated to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
In 2005, she was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her work against sex trafficking of women.
Last year, soon after winning the Nobel, Sirleaf was elected to a second term.
Even more significantly, Muslims have won three out of the last 10 Nobel Peace Prizes.
Nobel now found that if the nitrated cotton was increased from eight to about fifty per cent.
Finsen was given the Nobel prize partly for re-discovery of this.
A few years ago he was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine, perhaps the highest honor that can be bestowed on any physician.
The Nobel Prize consisted of a diploma, and an award in money of $40,000.
And to have the Nobel Prize confirm them would alienate every doctor in the world.
1900, in reference to five prizes (in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace) established in the will of Alfred Nobel (1833-1896), Swedish chemist and engineer, inventor of dynamite. A sixth prize, in economics, was added in 1969. Related: Nobelist.

Pics! Meet Alyson Hannigan + Alexis Denisof's Smiley Baby Girl, Keeva!
Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof recently took Baby Keeva for a walk in the park. Pics inside!
-Lucia Peters
Buffy alums Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof are one of our favorite celebrity couples, so we were super happy for them when they welcomed their second daughter, Keeva Jane, into the world back at the end of May. And hey, look! Here's our first glimpse of her, courtesy of People!
Alyson and Alexis took baby Keeva to the Will Rogers State Park in Pacific Palisades, CA this past Monday. She looks super comfy, snuggled in her blanket in Mom's arms—and gosh, but isn't she a smiley one! Keeva is currently seven weeks old, and this is the first time we've seen her out and about with her parents since her birth.
Read Celeb Flashback: 12-Year-Old Megan Fox Had Braces, Just Like Everyone Else
Alyson has recently been keeping her Twitter followers entertained with a variety of Tweets about the impossibly high standards in Hollywood for post-baby bodies:
I can practically hear the snark. You go, Alyson!
The couple are also parents to three-year-old Satyana Marie, who has definitely inherited her mother's bright red locks. I wonder if Keeva will follow suit?

$40M Suit Claims Brutality by Cops in Ferguson
(NEWSER) – A Missouri man who says he was just trying to get to his mom's house and a woman who says she was waiting for a ride and a sundae at McDonald's with her teenage son are among the five plaintiffs who have filed a $40 million lawsuit against Ferguson and St. Louis County police alleging "excessive force" in the wake of the Michael Brown shooting, reports the AP.
The suit filed yesterday charges cops with "intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent supervision, and assault and battery" and for treating local citizens "as if they were war combatants," reports CNN.

WATCH: Oprah gives away a car on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
Oprah's still got it. On Wednesday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," she picked a random audience member to come on stage and presented her with the gift of a lifetime!
Before calling the lucky young woman on stage, Oprah showed off some of her acting chops. She interrupted Jimmy's interview and started fanning herself saying that she was getting "that feeling again" and just couldn't help herself. Confetti fell onto the stage as Oprah handed over the keys, and they watched as the audience member was led out back to the sleek black sedan waiting for her. When the crowd calmed down, Jimmy asked her how often she gets overcome with the desire to give away cars. She said it happens "every once and a while" and "especially if [she] skips lunch." She added that she's "trying to get this under control."
Watch the video:
The media mogul is making her film comeback in this weekend's Lee Daniels: The Butler, which is the story of a White House butler, played by Forest Whitaker, who served eight Presidents.

I often like to print discussions out, so I can read them over several times and think about them. For some reason, I can read, comprehend and retain things on paper better than on screen.
Is there any way a "printable version" of the discussions be offered, like there are on many other websites?
Maybe this would be too much work. I just thought I'd ask.
By the way, i think your option to save posts is an excellent idea. You're the only one to have it that I know of.

Marcelo in the Real World
Reading Level: Grades 7+
Marcelo, a high school junior with a somewhat undefined precise location on the autism spectrum, is wildly looking forward to spending his summer working with the ponies at his school, Paterson. He will be the stable man for the school, and in the fall will be promoted to training the ponies to work with all types of disabled students. Marcelo is really looking forward to his summer and senior year at Paterson.
But his father, Arturo, has other plans. Arturo wants Marcelo to work at Arthuro's law firm, in the mail room - and Arturo wants Marcelo to switch to public school in the fall.
Marcelo is not given much choice about working at the law firm, but he is told that if he spends three summer months working at his father's law firm - in the "real world" - Arturo will let him choose whether to return to Paterson or continue at public school.
For Marcelo, three months in the "real world" sounds incredibly difficult as he does not know all the rules of living in that world. But working at the law firm is what Marcelo will have to do to ensure his return to Paterson, and so he accepts his father's offer.
As Marcelo's summer progresses, he begins to become more comfortable interacting with others, but when he uncovers a disturbing photograph relating to one of his father's big cases, Marcelo is unsure how to proceed.

AN HEREDITARY TRAIT Christ Schlegel, the Lastrup liar, was in town Friday and told us about his good heifer, which, he says, though she never freshens, gives milk the year round. Several vears ago when the old log house, just west of the brewery in Steger block, corner Musk- rat street and Circle avenue, was still the popular resort for tobacco chewers and yarn-spinners, Christ one day told a crowd of willing listeners, about this wonderful heifer. Steger, who was oiling his hand organ in preparation for grinding out of "Die Wacht am Rhein" limped to the end of the bar, and looking at the crowd over his glasses, said he could vouch for the truth of all Christ had told them. "She inherited her milk giving qualities," he explained, "J knew this heifer's mother. Herinother never had a calf and gave a pail full of milk twice a day for ften or twelve years."

"Check out" the library's new iPads
Laura McClure, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-5400
Beginning Jan. 17, USC students can check out iPads, thanks to a partnership between USC Student Government and the Thomas Cooper Library.
When student body President Joe Wright developed a list of initiatives for the year, one of his goals was to provide iPads for students, faculty and staff. Given current technology and the future of technology trends, Wright recognized a need for students to be familiar with these devices.
"It is important that we begin to integrate technology in all parts of education," Wright said. "Students should have the opportunity to expose themselves to all styles of learning, especially when it comes to learning through technology. The iPads will be a bold move that will make more information available, help students navigate through digital textbooks and encourage students to be more innovative."
USC Student Government has partnered with Thomas Cooper Library to make available 20 iPads for checkout from the library's Technology Lounge. The iPads will come loaded with a wide range of applications for work and play. Think Blackboard Mobile and Angry Birds.
During the loan period, users can download additional applications. Students can check out iPads for three days and faculty and staff can do so for five days. The iPads can be renewed once per loan period.
Wright worked with Marna Hostetler, director of Thomas Cooper Library, to spearhead the project. William Hogue, chief information officer and vice president of Information Technology, is responsible for the funding of this project.
"Without Dr. Hogue, this project would not have been possible," Hostetler said.
Student Government representatives will host an iPad informational launch 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Jan. 25 at the Russell House. Students will have the opportunity to become familiar with iPads and staff will be available to answer questions.
For more information, call Thomas Cooper Library at 803-777-0244 or go to the library's iPad website.
iPad checkout
- What: 20 iPads available for checkout
- Who: Students, faculty and staff
- Where: Thomas Cooper Library
- When: Starting Jan. 17
- Why: To give students the opportunity to become familiar with new technology

Well, apparently there are enough folks in Columbus familiar with R. Kelly's creepy history to get him ousted as one of the performers on the Fashion Meets Music Festival happening Friday, August 29-31.
Without Kelly that leaves O.A.R., Rusko, Michelle Williams (of Destiny's Child), Paper Diamond, and Destructo as the festival's headlining acts.
I've never been a fan of "Kells" even before I found out he married his then 15 year old protege Aaliyah (her R. Kelly written and produced debut album was called "Age Ain't Nothin' But A Number"...Ewwwwwww!) and before his penchant for young ladies became common knowledge. I'm glad it still bothers some people.
Oooh, which movie star will they jam with this time, assuiming they go to the big shindig on Sunday August 24, a few short days before their Cleveland concert?
We'll see.

Cleveland Agora founder Hank LoConti has died after a battle with lymphoma. The 84 year old impresario founded The Cleveland Agora in 1966 by the 1970s and through the 80s the club and the city were synonymous with breaking new rock acts including David Bowie and the 1978 Bruce Springsteen concert that has become a legendary show and much bootlegged recording.
In 2012, The LoConti family donated the Agora to the non-profit MidTown Cleveland to become part of a new development.

We present a couple of videos concerning how it can be the vision of our immediate future from the point of view of touchscreen technologies and new glass surfaces.
video of the 11st Innovation Forum celebrated May 14 where Lluis Pastor, Director of the Studies of Communication Sciences and Information of the UOC, introduced the concept of Funiversity. (video in Catalan)
January, 22 took place the 10th Innovation Forum on the topic Augmented Reality (AR), where a team of experts presented the possibilities and advantages of this new technology as well as a few cases and real experiences developed through it. (Video in Catalan)
This concept allows to you to experience immersion and effortless navigation in an Augmented Reality environment. New types of interactions involving near-to-eye displays, gaze direction tracking, 3D audio, 3D video, gesture and touch. Through these new types of social linkages people will be connected in innovative ways between the physical and digital worlds.
Well, or at least where I would like. So e-book should be the future? I believe that it will be much sooner than we think. Could it be that this is what Apple has in mind? Soon we will know definitely…
On September, 17 2009 took place on 9th Innovation Forum that led to thematic Immersive spaces focused on virtual world Second Life, where we could explore the different possibilities and opportunities offered by this virtual environment for learning and creating virtual communities.

This week on the playground we're happy to welcome SF's own, Proof (Massive Selector). Proof is part of the team responsible for SF Soul Slam (Prince v. Michael Jackson feat. DJ Spinna), Wonder-full and his new creation, SFNY. Currently he's hitting SF with a slab of soul at his new weekly, Sweater Funk, featuring late 70's to mid 80's mid tempo R&B. All of the aforementioned parties are dope, but honestly he's coming to rock Recess because of a back in the day monthly at the old Poleng spot. FutureClassic was that perfect template kind of party. Two rooms of music featuring dope dj's and special guest performers that amplified the mission: to simply bridge the gap between the old and new. It was all hot and steamy up in that piece too. But shit was dope. This we like.
This Wednesday we'll journey further on that musical mission with special guest, Marky aka Proof.
You know the rules: music enjoyment not defined by the radio. This is common ground for all music heads and non-music heads alike. All dancers, great conversationalist, supporters of the arts and all positive people come together to be the foundation of this weekly get together.

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 2
I've been considering putting the data for the reference in a JSON file, that way the interface can be done in jQuery allowing for markup to be seperated from the data file making updates to the source data easier. Use of the file could be implemented in any fashion an author wishes whether it be a TXP plugin or page or otherwise.

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 2
Everything that has been said here can easily be done with MediaWiki, somehow no one has done it.
I'm glad to turn over the keys to Textbook to anyone with interest in it. I only ended up with it because everyone else who was involved dissapeared. Send me an email and the keys are yours.

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 2
I frequently visit th e tag reference, and tag listings for syntax check. ( Just did it yesterday, because I thought for some reason, that the linklist tak has an offset attribute, which it has not )
I find it is important, to guarantie some kind of (multilingual) permlink structure for these resources (without relying on cookies and such), that does not change.
Mediawiki allthough very robust, scares many Users off, due to this awkward bracket syntax. And the layout might be difficult to customize.
( Why didn't they use HTML in the first place ? )
On the other hand TXP might not be the best Tool for such a large amount of Users.

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 2
Alright I have a fresh new 4.0.6 install up on Textbook is someone wants to take a stab at recreating Textbook using Textpattern. If it works awesome. I think it's not the right tool for the job, but I would love to be proven wrong.
This would require at the very least MLP and some sort of versioning. Preferably automatic, I'm sure md_versions could be modified to hook into the save event. It might just be a matter of modifying what event it's attached to.
Who wants to give it a shot?

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 2
MLP is not yet compatible with v 4.0.6, and I think that hakjoon is right, that may be for this particular Case, TXP isn't right. What about scalability and support ? Can these be guaranteed ?
From what I've been reading, Mediawiki has good support.

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 2
Oh and let me repeat this. "I HATE MEDIAWIKI". We are not staying with MediaWiki unless someone else wants to manage it.
DokuWiki was seen as at least slightly less of a Pain and it can use textile which is a plus. I would prefer to pursue adding the needed functionality to TXP vs having to leanr the ins and outs of another package that I don't use for anything else.
I see versioning and multi language support as the bigger gotchas but it could also be a workflow issue. The whole process of creating new pages and interliking them is much more cumbersome in TXP IMO.
I really feel that the main problem with Textbook is content so whatever gets more people writing the better.

I was thinking about what Patrick just mentioned. That it is hard, timeconsuming und cumbersome, to do it at this stage, to get the multilingual IA structure right at this point. ( There is currently only one Developer on MLP ) Anyway, just my opinion.
( what I'd wish for the future, would be I tight Integration between MLP and TXP, but that didn't happen yet )

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 2
MLP is beyond me, like most of the technical stuff is, but I will be happy to put a lot of work into Textbook in a month's time when I finish the work I've been forced to do. Patrick hates Mediawiki, nobody seems to want to take it over, nobody seems so keen to use Docuwiki, so it seems to me that Textpattern is the way to go. If you techies can sort it out between you, I'll do all the copying and pasting and take charge of the editing etc. I'm sure some of you will keep an eye on me and make sure I keep the standards high ;)

Re: [wiki] Textbook redesign 2
Here a few things that DokuWiki has going for itself.
- it can use textile along with other syntax options (markdown)
- organizatinal stuff seems better
- versioning and diffing
- It can convert the interface to the content language (this is something that people wanted at one point)
- There is no database
- Auto TOC
- Content locking for no edit collisions (txp does not have this AFAIK)
- Breadcrumbs
- syntax is extensible
- customizable Auth with experimental punBB one already (no more need for multiple accounts)
