The cost of living in the U.S. has increased by only 1.7 per cent over the last 12 months, according to the latest consumer price index for May.
That headline number is significant because for the first time in 16 months CPI inflation has fallen below the U.S. Federal Reserve's target of 2 per cent.
U.S. stocks have been rising Thursday on the news. The rationale is that lower inflation gives the Fed greater room to stimulate the economy. The Fed's policy-making committee is meeting next week, and many investors are thinking that further monetary stimulus is now very likely given the weak condition of the domestic recovery and the worsening financial crisis in Europe.
But it may be wrong to think that May's 0.3 per cent month-to-month decline in CPI will spur the Fed to re-open the spigot, according to Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist for Capital Economics.
Diving into the numbers, he points out that the decline was largely due to the 6.8 per cent drop in gasoline prices and the 4.1 per cent falloff in natural gas prices. In addition, food prices remained the same. Core consumer prices, however, actually increased by 0.2 per cent in May, leaving the annual rate of core consumer inflation unchanged at 2.3 per cent. And the three-month annualized rate accelerated to 2.7 per cent, up from 2.3 per cent, he noted.
These details mean the Fed may in fact still be reluctant to launch additional stimulus measures as early as next week.
But Mr. Ashworth says there's a good chance that core inflation will soon start to ease, gradually sliding below the Fed's 2 per cent target. He points out that the big drivers behind the core increase in May were rising prices for clothes, airline tickets, hotel rooms and used automobiles. But those trends should shift due to the decreasing cost of cotton, fuel and new car prices, he said.Report Typo/Error

LONDON (Jul. 11)
The Evangelical Churches of Lower Saxony, in the British zone of Germany, have decided to eliminate from their records the first names of "Sarah" and "Israel" which the Nazis forced those of their members who had originally been Jews to assume, it was reported here today from Hamburg. The Nazi order applied not only to Jews who had changed their religion, but also to non-Jewish spouses of Jews.
A German court in Bielefeld has convicted Dr. Emanuel Schaefer, former Gestapo chief of Breslau, Oppeln, Kattowice and Koeln and one-time major general in the Gestapo, of crimes against humanity and against the Jews. His sentence was 21 months in jail.

But she hits the mark more than she misses, e.g., a debauched rock star is described as looking like "a Pierrot gone bad."
Edward mounted first and Pierrot last, having stopped to answer some questions of the host.
"That is the delusion proper to Pierrot," said Pantaloon, contemptuously.
Poor Pierrot had been tossed as high as a rocket, and apparently was not expected down again in time for the performance to-day.
The whole company, pressing after Pierrot, abandoned itself to laughter.
The depths of Pierrot's faith shamed him, and he crawled silently between the blankets and turned his face to the wall.
Violently he shook off the restraining hand of Pierrot who sat on his left.
She ended by opening it, and Pierrot, concealed in it, seized her hand and would not let go.
After a tedious hour of expectation, Pierrot made his appearance.
At dawn the prison door was opened and three masked men led Pierrot out through the courtyard into the garden.

Police have released CCTV footage showing the impact of the ATM explosion at the Harbour Town shopping Centre which took place on Saturday.
The explosions, timed to coincide with Australia Day fireworks caused damage to buildings at the centre as a result of debris which was flung when the explosives were set off.
Harbour Town shopping complex remained closed on Monday following the incident.
The footage shows the explosion from the first level above the ground level where the ATMs were blown up.
It shows items in a nearby shop falling from shelves as a result of the explosion.
Two ATMs at the Wellington Street shopping complex were targeted and an additional two were destroyed as a result of the explosion.
Police have not revealed whether any money had been stolen.
Sergeant Naomi Smith said investigations into the incident were continuing.
Harbour Town is expected to re-open on Tuesday.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn once came looking for Thorn in the league office, once super-glued a sign to his door stating that Bad Boy fines had paid for Thorn's nice digs, a sign that caused three-figure damage when ripped from the door. Thorn's name was synonymous with crime and punishment, and yet he always knew there was one sheriff in town, one Muggsy Bogues-sized John Wayne and Clint Eastwood forever daring some reckless cowboy to make his day.
"When you need a stand to be taken," Thorn said Monday, "David Stern is going to take it."
So Stern went after his ballplayers the way his ballplayers went after the fans, and set a standard that all sports leaders — pro, college and high school — had better have the guts to honor. Clemson and South Carolina officials were the first to step into the box, and good for them. They removed their football teams from bowl consideration as punishment for players who staged an on-field riot that a procession of uniformed officers couldn't control.
This can't be a fleeting trend. In fact, criminal prosecutors should follow Stern's lead. The fans who threw sucker punches at Ron Artest and Fred Jones, and a chair toward Jermaine O'Neal, should be arrested on the same assault charges earned by Artest, O'Neal and Stephen Jackson.
"David has made a statement for all sports," said Thorn, CEO of the New Jersey Nets.
That statement shouldn't end with the maximum penalties imposed on a few Indiana Pacers who in one night filled a season-long void of NHL thuggery — and then some. Bud Selig, Paul Tagliabue and their peers need to start lifting weights at Stern's gym. Throw holy heck at violent troublemakers first, worry about union responses and appeals second.
Truth is, the Pacers should be exploring ways to void Artest's contract rather than exploring ways to get him back in some small forward's face by the All-Star break. Artest should be made a free agent, and NBA executives should be made free to avoid signing him. That's a form of collusion no right-minded person would contest.
College administrators nationwide should also be busy threatening to revoke the scholarships of any players who engage in a sequel to Clemson-South Carolina. Athletics directors need to put common decency ahead of the pursuit of cold, hard BCS cash.
These unforgiving messages have to be sent to make Friday night's brawl for it all in Auburn Hills a seminal moment in the reshaping of a sports culture that had turned as wild and crude as your typical spring break video. Other suits need to cover Stern's back, and Billy Hunter should stand among them.
Hunter is a good man who runs the NBA players' union. As a football player at Syracuse, Hunter was smart enough to earn the team's captaincy by petitioning black teammates to boycott games scheduled against Southern schools that segregated their stadiums. As a U.S. Attorney, Hunter was smart enough to go with the political flow and advise President Carter he should act on his gut feeling and pardon Patty Hearst.
Hunter's only doing his job fighting this lost cause of a fight. But if he stepped away this one time and allowed Artest to take a season-long nap, Hunter would score valuable credibility points with a public less inclined than ever to back his fabulously rich constituents as the storm clouds of another labor war roll in.
He'd also be doing the right thing. Athletes who cross the barrier between the playing field and the stands to attack paying customers surrender their right to slide back into the protective cocoon of sport. The days when a Mike Milbury can assault a hockey fan in Madison Square Garden with his fist and the man's shoe, breeze through a quickie suspension, and then later climb his sport's corporate ladder into a position of high power should be over.
Stern started to reverse the vile course of the games we play, and now he needs help. The commissioner of the NBA woke up one day and realized he had much bigger problems than Larry Brown's Olympic copouts and Latrell Sprewell's warped sense of reality, and Stern did something about it.
His unanimous vote against the culture was 1-0. Clemson and South Carolina just pushed it to 3-0.
Who has the conviction to make it a four-peat?

This is the profoundly moving story of a young girl coming of age at the turn of the century. Francie Nolan lives with her family in the Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn from 1902 until 1919, where, as an imaginative, alert, and resourceful child, she grows up under the burden of suffering that is the lot of a great city's poor.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Francie Nolan, avid reader, penny-candy connoisseur, and adroit observer of human nature, has much to ponder in colorful, turn-of-the-century Brooklyn. She grows up with a sweet, tragic father, a severely realistic mother, and an aunt who gives her love too freely--to men, and to a brother who will always be the favored child. Francie learns early the meaning of hunger and the value of a penny. She is her father's child--romantic and hungry for beauty. But she is her mother's child, too--deeply practical and in constant need of truth. Like the Tree of Heaven that grows out of cement or through cellar gratings, resourceful Francie struggles against all odds to survive and thrive. Betty Smith's poignant, honest novel created a big stir when it was first published over 50 years ago. Her frank writing about life's squalor was alarming to some of the more genteel society, but the book's humor and pathos ensured its place in the realm of classics--and in the hearts of readers, young and old.

Philadelphia Mayor Nutter Chooses Comcast Over 200,00 Workers
He is nothing if not consistent. Just as he did two years ago, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter vetoed a bill allowing workers to earn sick days.
The bill had been amended to be more amenable to Mayor Nutter's corporate sensibilities. It would allow workers to earn one hour of sick leave for every 40 hours worked. It would also exempt small businesses with up to five employees.
But it was still not enough. In rejecting this pro-worker measure, Nutter repeated the same claptrap that politicians have used to oppose the minimum wage, worker safety measures, and child labor laws throughout history.
Mayor Nutter, in his veto message, said mandatory paid sick leave would result in job cuts that would hurt "the very workers this bill is intended to help." And he said it would hurt the city's ability to attract new businesses.
The business lobby, lead by Comcast and the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars opposing this bill in 2012 alone. Those dollars, in Nutter's eyes, overrode the health and economic needs of nearly 200,000 Philadelphians who have no access to sick days.
But there's something different in 2013. We are only one vote away from overriding this veto in the Philadelphia City Council.
Councilman Dennis O'Brien is a swing vote on the sick days bill. He voted no the first time, but moving him to a "yes" could provide this crucial worker protection that so many Philly workers have lacked.
Take Action: Call Councilman O'Brien and urge him to vote to override the Mayor's veto of the sick leave bill.

I am 5"9 and 138 pounds. I am wanting a breast augmentation. I was definitely under blessed because I am barely an A cup right now. I am wanting to be a C cup. I definitely do not want to be in the D cup range. What size silicone implants would be the best for me?
What Size Silicone Implants Would Be the Best for Me?
Doctor Answers 8
How to determine an implant size?
Its common to not really know but when you make a statement about not wanting to be a 'D' cup, you should go out a buy a bra cup size that you do not wish to exceed and proceed to create a sizer using rice and a knee high nylon stocking. Find out how much rice is needed to fill you cups and then you can confirm this with external gel sizers most doctors have in their offices. If you doctor doesn't want to work with you on this, find another doctor who will and who understands your desires. However, don't be surprised if you like a D cup... most of my patients all lament that they wish they went larger.
What size implant?
You need a live consultation so that your plastic surgeon can take some measurements and determine what size implant would be appropriate for your body. From there, you may chose to go smaller or larger, within reason.

Choosing your implants
Hello. The most important factors for determining the size of implants that could be used on a patient include width of the base of the breast, the size of your thorax and the amount of breast tissue and skin you have. Once a surgeon has this information he could better educate you on what type of implants would work best for you.

A to C Cup and Size of Implant Needed
An average volume to increase one cup size is 200 cc or so. This varies quite a bit based upon the size of the patient and particularly the size of the chest wall. In addition, breasts often are not a full cup size, but partial cup sizes. Thus, the volume needed is best determined by sizers prior to surgery. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

This is a common question on RealSafe. In order to obtain a specific recommendation more information is needed. Please resubmit your question with photos (front and lateral views) and measurements in particular your breast width.

What Size Silicone Implants Would Be the Best for Me?
It is not easy without the patient, but no more than 300 cc- 350 cc, sub or under the muscle respectively.
Spanish translation provided by doctor:
No es facil sin ver al paciente, no mas de 300 cc- 350cc, arriba o debajo del musculo respectivamente.
What Size Silicone Implants Would Be the Best for Me?
Perfectly appropriate question, but one that really cannot be answered with the info available.
There are no fixed definitions of cup size, and I have numerous patients with bras of three different cup sizes all of which fit. Furthermore, a C cup on a 36 band is larger that a C cup on a 34, smaller than a C cup on a 38.
Best is to try on implants at your consultation. see what looks good to you. Your surgeon will use that info along with breast measurements to recommend the right implant for you.
When you are ready for an in person consultation, RealSelf has listings of surgeons in your area. You should consider cross referencing the listings from the The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (plasticsurgery dot org). A listing in the ASPS website assures you that your surgeon is not only board certified, but also is a member in good standing of the major plastic surgery organization in the U. S. Thank you for your question, best wishes.
Best Breast Implant Size/ Profile for Me?
Thank you for the question. As you can imagine, despite your good description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you precise advice online. The best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. In my practice, the use of photographs of "goal" pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "C cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this helps.

North Carolina's Republican-heavy legislature needs to change its name to "Midnight Marauders." The conservatives once again launched a late night sneak attack on the Democrats. They overrode and gutted several measures vetoed by NCs Governor, Beverly Perdue. Here is what they approved:
- Fracking—which could affect clean drinking water for 2.4 million people from Research Triangle to the Sandhills
- Cut the guts out of the Racial Justice Act—removes race as a challenge in death penalty cases
- Defunded Planned Parenthood
- Zapped the state's budget--meaning $190 million less for education
Now here is the elephant in the room. NC is sitting on approximately $1.8 million set aside for the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA). The funds are supposed to be used to upgrade election procedures, voting machines, registration processes and poll worker training. HAVA was enacted to avoid a Florida-like "hanging chad" debacle, and insure the integrity of federal elections.
Senate President Pro Tem, Phil Berger ignored an NC House measure that would have taken money out of the next governor's inaugural party fund. A GOP liaison, Sara Riggins, responded for Berger in an e-mail:
…the only state expense the State Board of Elections had planned for the funds were upgrades to a software system, which we felt would have a minimal impact over the next year.
Yeah, right. The Repubs deliberately axed $664 thousand from the budget to make sure the federal government could not release an estimated $4 million to improve the state's election system. County election boards are short on cash. Prediction: broken machines, fewer early voting sites. Additionally, the right-wingers redistricted the state, which amounts to a map Jesse Helms would be proud of. The conservatives have re-segregated North Carolina.
Berger and his ilk are banking on confusion, long lines, damned lies and Art Pope. Pope, a rich crusader/hater, is the embodiment of the Koch brothers in NC. In 2010, he gave millions to GOP candidates. The Tea Party Repubs don't just want voter disenfranchisement—they want to change the outcome of an event that happened nearly 150 years ago--the Civil War.

By no means do I hate them and I love my girlfriend for being so considerate and thoughtful (she said she found them as a cyber Monday deal and a lot of pro gamers use them and they are common) but don't they look a little ridiculous to wear to work? Or is it just me ?

What is MPH?
The Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) and the Doctor of Public Health (Dr.P.H.) are multi-disciplinary professional degrees awarded for studies in areas related to public health. The MPH degree focuses on public health practice, as opposed to research or teaching. Master of Public Health programs are available throughout the world in Medical Schools, Schools of Public Health, and Schools of Public Affairs.
Additionally, students develop an integrated interdisciplinary, cross-cutting set of overall competency domains (Communication and Informatics, Diversity and Culture, Leadership, Professionalism, Program Planning, Public Health Biology, and Systems Thinking). A newly developing specialty within the MPH degree is Occupational Health Nursing.
In the United States (U.S.), medical graduates may pursue an MPH in public health practice; medical students can pursue an MPH in public health medicine.
In some countries the MPH program is only available for medical graduates (MBBS or equivalent), those without the medical degree can join the Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) program.
Types of Schools
There are many Public Schools in the USA: Online programs and on Campus. There are 49 CEPH-accredited schools of public health and the number increases almost every year so try to join one of those schools.
How to apply for the un-CEPH-accredited schools?
Just go onto their websites and check there as each one is different.
What is SOPHAs?
We use SOPHAS in order to apply for those 49 schools only. You will have to apply through SOPHAS and go onto the School`s website as well to check if there is an application that you will have to fill as almost all the schools require you to fill an application and have an account on their website. You will have to make an account on SOPHAS to start there and you will be having your own checklist.
Where to start?
I believe that the very first step is to go online and check the deadline for the program/univ you want to apply to in the first place.
On SOPHAS you will find a checklist for the International students (one who were not graduated from the USA). Read everything and especially "prepare to apply" and "your application"
Documents required
Each school has its own requirements and deadlines. http://www.sophas.org/documents/SOPHAS_Intl.pdf)
School specific requirements and individual processes are commonly indicated for the:
Statement of Purpose Reference type preference (i.e. Faculty, Colleague, Employer) Test Scores and Test Score Waiver Process-See http://www.sophas.org/search.cfm School Specific Questions found on the SOPHAS Application Supplemental Application and Application Fee* indicated on SOPHAS School Profile Application review process and timeline for decisions Decision Notification (Please note SOPHAS is not privy to the admission decisions of schools)
What is WES?
World Education Services is a not-for-profit organization specializing in foreign credential evaluation. Must be accepted by Wes before applying for Schools on SOPHAS.
First, create an account on the WES, then you can choose the country you are asking about (ex. Egypt), and check the requirements for graduates from this country because each country has its own requirements. Some require your School (in Egypt for example) to send the documents in a sealed envelope and others do not.
Send you diploma and transcripts in both Arabic and English languages to the WES and must follow up with them because it takes weeks to get done and to check if there is anything missing.
Some accept USMLE certificate instead of the TOEFL or ILETS and some do not.Please refer to the link below:
Link for TOEFL website: http://www.ets.org/
Link for GRE website: http://www.ets.org/gre/
The only one I know about is : A famous one is the one between wezaret elmalia and Harvard (Go to the following link and choose Egypt). But you have to get back to Egypt for 2 or 4 years (I can not remember)
Statement of purpose
Write in 1-2 pages the following:
1) Your background and how this led you to MPH
2) Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now ?
3) Why did you choose to apply for this school ?
Letters of recommendation
3-4 letters depending on each school from physicians, professors, researchers you worked with stating why you are eligible for joining the school. Since most of MPH is about research, I believe try to get most of your letters from researchers/professors
Application fee for the following:
1) Sophas
3) Each school has an application fee as well so the more you apply the more you pay schools

About the Book
Sandra Garzón Villarreal captures the infinitesimal details, sweeping vistas and startling colors of the world around her with a sense of delight and effortless serendipity. With each click of the shutter, time stops. The subject, the color, form, line and texture - everything seems to expand and take up much more of my perception. It's as if the microsecond becomes eternity, and the more it grows, the richer it becomes, the more there is to see and the more it makes me feel. She stills the rushing-by of the everyday, preserving the countless treasures we miss in our hurry to make appointments and meet goals, pay bills and attend to the endless demands of our lives.
This collection gave me an opportunity to remember how joy can suffuse a single moment, one perception, and how that can change the experience of every moment that follows.
~D'Ann Smith
Louisa, Virginia

Received: Tuesday, 6 January, 2009, 2:05 PM
Happy New Year to everyone from NZ,
Does anyone know if there are any records regarding the National School at
Southend for the period 1820's to 1860's. I have looked on ancestry for
the names of the schools in either Southend or Prittlewell for this time. My
JEMSON family was living in Southend at this time so I assume that the children
may have attended this school. The directory lists only the National School,
Southend, William McDonald , Master. Mrs Janette McDonald was mistress of the
infant school.
I have checked out SEAX for any records but there do not seem to be any for
this school.
One more thing, does anyone know what "Crooked Billet" is referring
to? In the 1851 directory for Leigh under WILLIAM HAY it has this written beside
it. The list is under tradesman. I am presuming it is a pub but thought someone
might know for sure.
Thanks in advance.
Any problems, please contact the List Admin:

India's Rupee Approaches Nine-Month Low as Investors Buy Dollars
India's rupee fell toward the lowest level since September as investors favored the U.S. currency on signs the world's largest economy is recovering.
The Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against six major trading partners, snapped a two-day loss. The Conference Board's index of consumer sentiment probably climbed this month to its highest level since November, while the S&P/Case-Shiller measure of property values in 20 cities jumped the most since April 2006, separate Bloomberg surveys of economists show before reports today. The rupee's losses will be limited by inflows to Indian stocks, according to HDFC Bank Ltd. (HDFCB)
"Today's depreciation is largely due to the broad dollar strength," said Ashtosh Raina, Mumbai-based head of foreign-exchange trading at HDFC Bank. "The rupee will likely stay range-bound as inflows are there."
The currency weakened 0.2 percent to 55.6750 per dollar as of 9:23 a.m. in Mumbai, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It touched 56.0150 on May 23, the lowest level since Sept. 6, and has dropped 3.4 percent this month.
One-month implied volatility, a gauge of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, rose 15 basis points, or 0.15 percentage point, to 8.99 percent.
Gold Curbs
The rupee will also be supported by the Reserve Bank of India's curbs against gold purchases to rein in a record current-account deficit, Raina said. The central bank clarified yesterday that lenders cannot make loans using units of gold exchange-traded funds as collateral. The monetary authority on May 13 limited imports of the metal by banks on a consignment basis to only those required to meet the genuine needs of exporters.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said last week the central bank may cut the pace of its asset purchases, a policy known as quantitative easing, if officials see indications of sustained growth. Overseas funds bought a net $14.5 billion of Indian shares this year as global stimulus measures boosted cash, exchange data show.
Three-month onshore rupee forwards traded at 56.50 per dollar, compared with 56.46 yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Offshore non-deliverable contracts were at 56.56 versus 56.45. Forwards are agreements to buy or sell assets at a set price and date. Non-deliverable contracts are settled in dollars.

State Medal Stand: Northcutt finishes second in 1,600-meter run
By BOBBY "BUTCH" BURNEY | News-Telegram Sports Editor
May 12, 2007 - AUSTIN - Graham Northcutt went out Friday night with the intention to use the same strategy he had when he set the school record in the mile.
He very nearly duplicated the effort at the UIL State Track and Field Meet.
Running in a field stacked with talented runners, Northcutt took the lead early in the 1,600-meter run and finished second to earn the first SSHS medal at the state meet in three years.
Northcutt and Boerne runner Lorin Wilson broke from the field during the second of the four-lap race as Wilson won the event in a time of 4 minutes, 17.54 seconds. Northcutt ran a 4:20.89, about one second off
his school record mark.
He was able to hold off a hard-charging Zack Dawson of Big Spring, who was third, about one-half second back. The winning time this year was more than two seconds faster than last year's time.
"When I ran a 4:19, I was able to go out fast and run
by myself. I knew if I ran out of front, I'd be by myself with maybe one other person," Northcutt said.
"I just tried to run faster each lap and make my body go a little faster. That's what I did when I ran a 4:19, and I was trying the same strategy as I did then."
The strategy worked well.
Northcutt took the immediate lead, taking the field through the first lap in 65, which is the time he averaged for the entire four laps. With Wilson running side-by-side with him, they turned the second lap in 66 and started separating themselves from the rest of the field.
The third lap was a 63 as Wilson and Norhcutt opened a 30-meter lead over third. In the final lap, Northcutt was about three strides behind Wilson going into the homestretch, but couldn't gain any ground.
Northcutt and Wilson were able to take the starch out of fourth-place finisher Drew Bean of Little Cypress-Mauriceville who won the 3,200-meter race, and sixth-place finisher Brandon Chiuminetta of Dripping Springs who won the 800, by setting such a fast pace.
�My strategy was to go out hard. I knew most of them had to run the two-mile or something else,� Northcutt said. �The Boerne kid that won had dropped out of the two-mile, so he was fresh like I was.
�We stayed together until the last lap. He was a little bit ahead of me, and I tried to catch him the last 100 meters, but my arms and legs started locking up. I couldn't go any faster, but I was trying to hold off third place and get second.�
For Northcutt, the race capped off an accomplishment-filled week. At the sports banquet on Monday, he won the Forrest Gregg MVP Award and was named the top performer in three sports, includuing track.
SSHS head track coach Steve Hale said Northcutt's performance shows why he deserved those awards.
�He left everything out there. He ran his race and left everything out there,� Hale said. �The kid that won it ran a great race and so did Graham. I'm real proud of him. Once again, it goes back to preparation and mental toughness, and I'm just real proud of him.�
Notes: Northcutt beat Ryan Lusk of Mesquite Poteet, who edged Northcutt out for the Region II title, by 13 seconds. Lusk finished eighth. Lusk also ran the 3,200 and was fourth. ... The silver medal was hung around
Northcutt's neck by Adrian Johnson, who was Coach Hale's high school principal. ... Results can be viewed at the UIL website. It is ww.uil.utexas.edu.

Subject: [FreeHelp] Pedigree Chart form
Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2001 15:05:07 EDT
I have now created my pedigree chart mail-merge form, but not the template or
output pages needed to make it work.
I have put the chart on this page, so that you can see it
If the submit button is clicked the "You've attempted to access a page which
does not exist" page comes up, which is not surprising as I have not uploaded
the page that the submit button attempts to access
because the _derived etc. page is the one that makes Front Page extensions
work (or not!)
The problem I am having, at the moment, is that, despite looking through the
HTML codes for this page I cannot find any reference to this "derived" file
so that I can delete it and replace it with the Rootsweb information that I
will need.
Can anybody please tell me where it is?
Thanks again for your help

Review: The Ultra Electric Mega Galactic -- The Ultra Electric Mega Galactic
Monster Magnet guitarist Ed Mundell may be a stoner, but he's no slacker. In addition to cutting his main band's new platter, he also recently recorded the self-titled debut from his side project The Ultra Electric Mega Galactic. That group—rounded out by Otep session player Collyn McCoy (on bass and sitar), and Sasquatch's Rick Ferrante (on drums and percussion)—cranks out long-form lysergic space-rock instrumentals. Think Jimi Hendrix, Clutch, and Hawkwind passing a bong around a desert campfire and jamming out a soundtrack to 1981 animated tits-and-aliens cult classic Heavy Metal. Toke up and tune in.

The strategic value of oscillating tie strength in technology clusters
Hebbert, William P., Keast, Robyn L., & Mohannak, Kavoos (2006) The strategic value of oscillating tie strength in technology clusters. Innovation: Management, Policy and Practice, 8(4-5).
|PDF (212kB)
This paper focuses on the innovation networks of high-technology Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) within a Science and Technology Park (STP). More specifically, the study examines the role of network ties in high-technology SMEs by focusing on the linkages employed by small businesses to learn, adapt to technological change, and innovate. The paper presents evidence from a recent survey of Brisbane Technology Park (BTP) and this illustrates how the competitiveness of local high-tech firms will be enhanced by the suggested model, which describes the need for oscillation between weak and strong ties at different stages of the innovation process and diffusion.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
A few months ago, executive chef Nick Morfogen placed an order for a pound of truffles. To his extreme surprise, not to mention his great pleasure, he received his order in a lump sum -- a black Perigord truffle that weighed one pound. Being the savvy cook that he is, Morfogen immediately set about devising and advertising a menu that would highlight this rare treasure to its fullest potential, rather than exchanging the truffle for smaller ones that he could parcel out pasta by pasta. The customers who were fortunate enough to sample the truffled dishes that week were indeed impressed. This type of inspired opportunity-taking is only one of the reasons why 32 East has the edge on the competition, not just on the avenue but in the county. The others? Oh, just the usual: Morfogen's outstanding technique and great imagination, stellar service, and superb wine pairs. If the East stands for all things rising, then we can expect 32 East to continue to grow in stature -- even without the benefit of a one-pound truffle.
For Indian food regulars who want to avoid those awkward moments of ordering beef curry from a Hindu waiter, the simple way is to go vegetarian. Bombay Cafe has powerfully tasty vegetarian dishes that'll make most carnivores forget about the lack of animal flesh. The chick peas in the chole-bhatura are cooked perfectly al dente in a potent tomato-based broth, and the plain uttapam combines the simplicity of a poster-sized rice pancake with aromatic lentil soup. Everything at this simple restaurant is made on-premises, even the yogurt, which flavors the sweet lassi so well, and the roti, an oven-roasted bread. Best of all, your vegetarian feast will set you back only about $5 -- not a bad price for a clear conscience.
Q: Ever watch reality-TV shows?
A: I watch absolutely no TV. I work every night.
Q: Never?
A: All right, Monday. My day off. On Monday, I have to watch Fear Factor because my 10-year-old daughter, Margeaux, insists on it. It's kind of fun to watch with her. She's always comparing herself to the girls on the show. She says, "I could do that."
Q: Are there parts of the show you don't like?
A: When they eat slugs and things like that. I'm not crazy about that.
Q: Is that the restaurateur talking?
A: Not really. That whole segment of the show -- I usually walk away from it. It'll definitely kill your appetite.
Q: How about your daughter?
A: She can stomach it a little better than I can.
Q: Is the show in any way real?
A: It's interesting to see what people will do for $50,000. Is that real? I don't know.
Q: Can you learn anything from Fear Factor?
A: Jeez, I don't think so. It's kind of like a strange sports game.
Q: What does your daughter get out of it?
A: Just the sensation of it, I think. She's very competitive, very athletic. A major soccer player and a junior lifeguard. I think the competition is what she enjoys, especially when the girls are competing against the guys. That's Margeaux.
If the name seems like a mouthful, well, the large servings of fresh fish and shellfish justify it. A retail seafood market on one side and an attractive, casual dining spot on the other, Waves isn't all foam and froth like some of its trendy contemporaries. Yet its preparations are still modern -- Asian shrimp-noodle soup, coconut shrimp, lump crab "fingers," shrimp scampi with roasted tomatoes. Feeling traditional? Waves also offers lobster dinners à la beach parties in Cape Cod, with a Maine steamed lobster, mussels, clams, ears of corn, and new red potatoes. Best of all, your belly may make you feel as if you won't be riding any waves too soon lest you get a cramp, and your wallet won't be much lighter -- Waves is as reasonably priced as it is filling.
It's no secret that Chinese takeout isn't always healthful. But there is hope. Wingloon's lengthy menu features all the traditional Chinese-American fare; sweet and sour chicken, moo goo gai pan, beef lo mein, among others. But this drive-through and takeout restaurant is looking out for today's health-conscious consumer. In addition to a vegetarian menu including broccoli and mushrooms with garlic sauce, and sautéed string beans, any of their chicken or beef dishes can be prepared with tofu, and they will omit salt, sugar, or cornstarch. You just have to ask.
Let's be honest. You're cheap, and you always will be. So you might as well put on the plaid pants and baby-blue blazer and go for the early-bird special at Spoto's. Between 5 and 6 p.m., the upscale raw bar in downtown West Palm Beach throws in a salad, dessert, and drink for the price of your entrée. That's a value of about $20, which, you might as well admit, is more than you spent on your mother's last birthday present. The deal includes a spicy tomato, mozzarella, and red onion salad with a well-aged vinaigrette. It's a good complement to the onion-crusted yellowtail snapper at $21.75. Or pair the house salad, with its wheat-beer vinaigrette, with the bouillabaisse, which includes a half-pound lobster, clams, mussels, and nearly still-swimming chunks of fish. Eat quick and you can be in bed by 8.

Genzyme, Apple, Royal Worcester: Intellectual Property
Shelbyzyme LLC, the owner of a patent used to treat organ-destroying Fabry disease, won $50 million from Genzyme Corp. after a jury trial.
Shelbyzyme filed the infringement suit in federal court in Delaware in October 2009.
Genzyme, a unit of France's Sanofi (SAN) based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, encouraged and contributed to the infringement of Leonia, New Jersey-based Shelbyzyme's 2006 patent 7,011,831, jurors in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware, found on July 17, according to court documents.
Genzyme was "not licensed or otherwise authorized" to use the recombinant DNA therapy for Fabry patients and used it anyway, Shelbyzyme said.
Fabry disease affects 1 in as many as 60,000 males and fewer females, according to the National Institutes of Health website on genetic conditions. The inherited disease results from a buildup of fat in organs and cells, causing pain, splotching, digestive distress and potential organ failure.
"We disagree with the jury verdict," Bo Piela, a Genzyme spokesman, said in an e-mail. The company may appeal, he said.
Charles Emanuel, an attorney for Shelbyzyme, didn't immediately reply to an e-mail seeking comment on the verdict.
The technology in the patent was developed by David Calhoun and George Coppola, researchers at City University of New York, according to court papers.
The case is Shelbyzyme v. Genzyme, 09-cv-768, U.S. District Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Apple Patent Trial Jury to Learn Samsung Destroyed E-Mails
Apple Inc. persuaded a federal judge to let jurors hear about document destruction by Samsung Electronics Co. (005930) in a patent trial scheduled to begin July 30 in San Jose, California.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul S. Grewal in San Jose yesterday agreed with Apple that jurors should be told they can draw an "adverse inference" from Samsung's failure to avoid auto-deleting e-mail that Apple later sought as evidence. The "rolling basis" Samsung used for deletions resulted in a similar ruling against the company seven years ago, he said.
"Rather than building itself an off-switch -- and using it -- in future litigation such as this one, Samsung appears to have adopted the alternative approach of 'mend it don't end it," Grewal wrote. "Samsung's mend, especially during the critical seven months after a reasonable party in the same circumstances would have reasonably foreseen this suit, fell short of what it needed to do."
Apple, based in Cupertino, California, and Suwon, South Korea-based Samsung, the world's two biggest makers of high-end mobile phones, accuse each other of copying designs and technology for mobile devices. The companies are fighting patent battles on four continents to retain their dominance in the $219 billion global smartphone market.
Grewal's proposed instructions for the jury begin by saying, "Samsung has failed to prevent the destruction of relevant evidence for Apple's use in this litigation." It adds that Apple has proved that "the lost evidence was favorable to Apple."
The instructions concluded by saying that jurors must determine for themselves whether to make the evidence destruction a factor in their verdict.
"You may choose to find it determinative, somewhat determinative, or not at all determinative in reaching your verdict," according to the instructions.
The case is Apple Inc. (AAPL) v. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., 11-cv-1846, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose).
Rambus Loses to LSI, STMicroelectronics in U.S. Patent Case
Rambus Inc., a computer-memory chip designer that has been fighting patent cases in court for a decade, lost a case against LSI Corp. and STMicroelectronics NV (STM) over controllers used in electronics including GPS devices and computers.
The U.S. International Trade Commission said the companies and its customers didn't violate Rambus patent rights, upholding a judge's findings from March. Notice of the decision was posted on the agency's website, with a full opinion to be made public after both sides have a chance to redact confidential information.
Rambus, which got 96 percent of its $312.4 million in 2011 revenue from royalties, claimed the companies incorporated into their chips inventions Rambus scientists developed to speed the transfer of data. The memory controllers are used in networking gear, televisions, set-top decoders and other devices.
The patents were either invalid or not infringed, the commission said, agreeing with the trade judge's findings that some of the patents were unenforceable because Rambus destroyed documents related to the litigation.
The dispute in this case centers on a type of dynamic random access memory called SDRAM that acts as the main memory in computers.
ITC Judge Theodore Essex found in March that all five Rambus patents were infringed, yet invalid because they sought to cover inventions already protected by other patents. The commission agreed on the invalidity of four patents, while saying the fifth wasn't infringed.
The judge said separately that three patents, named after lead inventor Richard Barth, are unenforceable because Rambus purposely destroyed evidence needed by companies to defend themselves against Rambus's infringement claims. The commission upheld that finding.
Both Rambus and the staff of the ITC, which acts as a third party on behalf of the public, asked the commission to overturn that finding because it was inconsistent with a decision the agency made in the Nvidia case.
Hynix Semiconductor Inc., which has been battling Rambus in courts since 1999, urged the commission to uphold the judge's findings on document destruction because it's trying to overturn a $397 million judgment won by Rambus after a 2006 trial.
A federal judge in California is considering whether Rambus should be precluded from enforcing some of its older patents against Hynix because of the document destruction.
A U.S. appeals court ruled last year that Rambus destroyed documents relevant to patent-infringement trials with Micron Technology Inc. and Hynix.
The case is In the Matter of Certain Semiconductor Chips and Products Containing Same, 337-753, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington).
Lundbeck Gets EU Antitrust Complaint on Pay-to-Delay Drug Deals
H. Lundbeck A/S (LUN), the Nordic region's second-largest drugmaker, was sent a complaint by European Union antitrust regulators over agreements with rivals that may have held back sales of cheaper generic drugs.
Pfizer Inc.'s Alpharma unit, Merck's German subsidiary, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. (RBXY) and other generic drugmakers were also sent EU complaints for agreeing to pay-to-delay deals with Lundbeck that may have delayed generic versions of its antidepressant citalopram, marketed as Celexa, for as long as two years, the European Commission said in a statement yesterday. Les Laboratoires Servier will soon get a similar EU antitrust complaint over a separate probe, the EU's antitrust chief said.
"Lundbeck vigorously opposes any allegation of wrongdoing and does not believe its practice has violated European competition law," the Copenhagen-based company said in a statement.
Servier hasn't yet received the EU complaint, the French company said in an e-mailed statement yesterday.
Xellia Pharmaceuticals, Resolution Chemicals, AL Industrier ASA, Watson Pharmaceutical Inc.'s Arrow unit and Generics UK, now known as Mylan Inc., were also sent statements of objections over Lundbeck's agreements with competitors who subsequently held back sales of generic versions of citalopram, the commission said.
Lundbeck's deals included direct payments to generic competitors, guaranteed profits in a distribution agreements and the purchase of generic versions of citalopram to be destroyed, the EU said.
Andrew Ridger, a spokesman for New York-based Pfizer, said the company received a complaint relating to a business its Alpharma unit sold before it was bought by Pfizer's King Pharmaceuticals subsidiary.
The complaint against Merck KGaA (MRK) related to an agreement made in 2002 by its former British subsidiary, Generics UK, Phyllis Carter, a spokeswoman for the company, said by telephone. Merck sold its generics business in May 2007 to Mylan for $6.7 billion. The company will analyze the statement and consider its next steps, she said.
Jen Lewis, a spokeswoman for Xellia in Congleton, England, said the EU probe related to a 2002 agreement between Lundbeck and Alpharma. Xellia was spun out from Alpharma in 2008 and it doesn't manufacture or supply citalopram or other antidepressants, she said.
Watson, which owns Arrow, has received the complaint and is currently reviewing it, said Charlie Mayr, a spokesman for the Parsippany, New Jersey-based company.
Ranbaxy spokesman Krishnan Ramalingam had no immediate comment. Calls and an e-mail to Resolution Chemicals weren't immediately answered. Calls to Mylan's U.S. press office and to AL Industrier weren't immediately returned.

Google Could Face More Antitrust Probes, EU's Almunia Says
Google Inc. (GOOG) may face further antitrust probes by the European Union, the bloc's competition chief said, even as the owner of the world's biggest search engine works to resolve an existing investigation.
EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said the current investigation doesn't cover areas such as applications for mobile phones. Regulators will review the "solutions that Google will present to us and hopefully we will reach a settlement" for the existing investigation, he said.
While "we have not opened any other investigation, I don't exclude in future" that further probes will be started, Almunia told reporters in Brussels yesterday.
Almunia asked Google in May to make an offer to settle concerns that it promotes its own specialist search services, copies rivals' travel and restaurant reviews, and that its agreements with websites and software developers stifle competition in the advertising industry.
Google, based in Mountain View, California, is under growing pressure from global regulators probing whether the company is thwarting competition in the market for Web searches. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission and antitrust agencies in Argentina and South Korea are also scrutinizing the company.
Google continues "to work cooperatively" with the commission, said Al Verney, a spokesman for the company in Brussels.
Regulators asked Google to extend an initial offer to modify its search engine to cover mobile applications for smartphones and tablet computers, two people familiar with the negotiations said last week.
In 2010, the EU's antitrust agency began investigating claims Google discriminated against other services in its search results and stopped some websites from accepting competitors' ads. While Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and partner Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) have about a quarter of the U.S. Web-search market, Google has almost 95 percent of the traffic in Europe, Microsoft said in a blog post last year, citing data from regulators.

Trade Secrets/Industrial Espionage
Antique Diary Reveals Early Day Trade-Secret Theft From France
A diary recently belonging to Royal Worcester and Spode Ltd.'s Worcester Porcelain Museum makes it clear that the secrets of the famous porcelain ware was stolen from French potters, the U.K.'s Daily Mail reported.
John Flight, who then ran Royal Worcester, wrote in his journal that he stole secrets for the manufacturing of porcelain during the French Revolution and brought them home to England, according to the Daily Mail.
At that time Flight's factory was trying to deal with technical problems involved in the production of high quality bone china, and was also facing competition, both from Europe and Asia, the newspaper reported.
His company, which was established in 1951, put the diary on display at the Antiques for Everyone Fair in Birmingham in the U.K., according to the Daily Mail.

As a 23-year-old he stunned many with his 28th place and surprised again a year later when he picked up the white jersey for the best young rider - finishing ninth overall.
From there, the Spaniard was tipped for future Tour greatness but endured a brief dip when he was 13th in 2001.
Time trialling let him down that time as it did last year when he lost more than six minutes in the two stages against the clock to Lance Armstrong.
Mancebo still managed seventh overall and, if he can marginally lift his times on the solo stages, he is surely a contender for a podium finish.
Despite his high finish, he was still only the third highest Spanish finisher in the event.
Much is expected of the ibanesto.com rider and, due to his early promise and his overall finishes so far he has already been tipped as the "new Miguel Indurain".
The next couple of years will tell if he can pass the test.

The Bank of England's minutes for its August meeting surprised analysts, with all nine monetary policy committee members voting for bank rate to be kept at 0.5 per cent.
Expectations were for the committee to remain split, with seven in favour of keeping rates on hold and two backing a quarter-point hike (though a minority had forecast a shift owing to the dovish tone of last Wednesday's inflation report press conference).
Adam Posen again remained the only member calling for more QE, advocating an additional £50bn in asset purchases. However, the minutes' dovish tone has inevitably stoked expectations others could soon join him.
But another four members still need to change their minds before the Bank can begin a second round of asset purchases. What will that take? Read more

Early Career Profiles:
St. Olaf Alumnus - Johannes Mauritzen
What he does:
- Johannes graduated from St Olaf College in 2004 with majors in both math and history. He now works as a market analysis for the Jerome Levy Forecast Center, a small economic forecasting firm just outside of New York City. Johannes follows trends and developments in the economy, and makes predictions based on his research. Also, Johannes specializes in capital spending, inventories and finance and devotes most of his time to those areas.
Math on the Job:
- As a research analyst, Johannes concentrates primarily in the economics of the stock market. However, his extensive math and statistical skills come in handy when researching massive amounts of data to make accurate predictions of the economy. As Johannes says, "The kind of rigorous and thorough thinking that advanced math requires is also important in making quality analysis of the macro economy."
Johannes's background:
- Johannes received a BA from St Olaf College in Northfield, MN in the spring of 2004 majoring in mathematics and history. As an undergraduate, Johannes solidified a love for math and continues to investigate topics in mathematics he finds interesting.
Advice for students:
- Mathematics may not seem to directly apply to many areas of the business community. However, the critical thinking skills required to successfully complete a math major are useful to success in every occupation. As Johannes says' "I'm fairly sure that my being a math major helped enormously in gaining my job - my boss was also a math major - and even for bosses that aren't math majors, I'm quite sure they recognize the extra effort and difficulty of the major."
