The decision is in. LeBron James is going to the Miami Heat.
UPDATE at 10:07 ET: Time for the signoff, and a happy ending from LeBron. He reminds the audience that all the proceeds from the sponsorship spots that were sold for tonight's show will go to the Boy's and Girls' Clubs of Cleveland, Akron, Miami, Chicago, New York and Miami. Says LeBron: "This is an unbelievable venture for myself . . . This is great, also for the kids. The kids are our future . . . One day I might have another LeBron, maybe." The University of Phoenix also says it's good for a $500,000 donation and five scholarships.
UPDATE at 10:03 ET: LeBron, says this has been in the works for awhile, and that playing on the Olympic team with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh played a big role. "I think it was something in the making . . . The fact we all signed the same deal a few years ago (and became free agents at the same time). Now, it's like a dream come true . . . I think the friendship has been there from day one."
UPDATE at 9:58 ET: LeBron, on the fact Mario Chalmers is wearing his No. 6 already for the Heat: "I think I'll give Mario a call and see if we can work something out."
UPDATE at 9:52 ET: ESPN goes to commercial, but with this tease -- that there's another announcement coming from LeBron before the show ends.
UPDATE at 9:51 ET: LeBron, on his reaction to Michael Wilbon telling him that some people in Cleveland already are burning his jersey: "I can't get involved in that. One thing I didn't want to do was make an emotional decision. I wanted to do what was best for Lebron James and make him happy . . . This is a business and I had seven great years in Cleveland and hopefully the fans will understand, but maybe they won't."
UPDATE at 9:48 ET: LeBron, on his expectations for the coming season: "What do I expect? I expect to win. I expect us to get better every day . . . At the end of the day all our minds are winning an NBA championship."
UPDATE at 9:46 ET: LeBron on the terms of the contract: "The numbers are not finalized ... All three of us are going to take less money, because we wanted to play alongside each other . . . It's not about getting the max deal. If it was I would have stayed in Cleveland."
UPDATE at 9:43 ET: LeBron on meeting with Pat Riley: "He's great . . . Pat has been there. He's coached a winning championship multiple times . . . He understands what it takes to coach a championship team and he's going to do everything it takes to make we sure we compete for a championship, for multiple years."
UPDATE at 9:40 ET: LeBron, on what it will be like to go back to Cleveland and play there: "I know we're going to have to go back there twice a year and hopefully the fans will be respectful, but I don't expect them to be . . . It's a lot of mixed emotions, because of what I was able to build there from being a 17-year-old kid to being a 25-year-old man."
UPDATE at 9:36 ET: Instant analysis time.
The Decision is in and the winner of the LeBron James sweepstakes, as was rumored all day long, is the Miami Heat. (Which means Cleveland got KO'd, and the Knicks, Nets, Bulls and Clippers took a TKO.)
LeBron, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh become the NBA's newest Big Three. They don't have a big man of note to patrol the paint, but they have an abundance of All-Star talent. They also have three members of the USA's gold medal-winning team from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and the guys who were the No. 1, No. 4 and No. 5 picks in the 203 NBA draft.
This ends LeBron's free agent drama, but sets in motion a whole new set of questions. Among them:
UPDATE at 9:31: LeBron, explaining leaving Cleveland: "This is tough. You feel like you let a lot of people down."
Also: "I never wanted to leave Cleveland, and my heart will always be in that area."
He also said it's not so much about leaving, but rather, "It's about joining forces with the other two guys. (Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.) In a perfect world I would have like to stay."
UPDATE at 9:28 ET: LeBron is going to the Miami Heat. Said LeBron: "I'm going to take my talents to South Beach and I'm going to the Miami Heat. I feel like this is going to be the best opportunity to win, and not just this season, but in multiple years."
UPDATE at 9:25 ET: LeBron says he didn't decide until today, and that a conversation with his mother played a major part. But still hasn't said who.
UPDATE at 9:19 ET: Another commercial break, but LeBron is in a chair on stage, opposite Jim Gray. And Stuart Scott did just promise we will know the decision in "just a few minutes." Hang in. It's almost over. We think.
UPDATE at 9:17 ET: Moooo. They are milking this cow. Running clips of LeBron talking about how "this is a business." The ESPN crew keeps taking a vote, and everyone is expecting Miami. Unanimous for the Heat.
UPDATE at 9:12 ET: So much for LeBron giving the word early on. We're on commercial break, and have yet to hear a word from LeBron.
UPDATE at 9:07 ET: LeBron is in place on stage, but so far the show has only had hype and highlight clips from the ESPN crew.
UPDATE at 8:54 ET: LeBron has arrived at the Boy's and Girl's Club in Greenwich, Conn., so everything appears on schedule.

All seems to be going simply great to the Bollywood celebrity A.R. Rahman. The Musical Mozart he has been nominated for a Golden Globe in the category Best Soundtrack. The movie for which he has been nominated is called '127 Hours' and it was directed by none other than Danny Boyle, the director of another international success, 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
A.R. Rahman had already won in the past two Grammy awards and two Oscars. For the movie his has been nominated Rahman has receive credits from all parts of the world. The background music is considered to be simply haunting. The story of the film is centered around Aron Ralston, who is a mountaineer that managed to stay alive 127 hours in the Utah Canyon, injured. He had his arm struck.
It seems that Ralston himself wrote to the composer after hearing his movies. Ralston said to him that he would have managed to survive 'another 127 hours with the help of his music'.
Everybody in the industry is more than sure that Rahman will win the Oscar as well.

Jacob Lane of the Gander Collegiate Concordes hockey team kept his sweltering scoring streak going, but it came in a losing effort to the Exploits Valley High School Eagles Friday night in Central Newfoundland High School Hockey League action.
Lane scored twice to record multiple points for the third-straight game, and Steve Best added a single, but the Concordes dropped an 8-3 game to the Eagles at the Gander Community Centre.
Best also added an assist in the loss, and Brandon Mills collected a pair of helpers.
The Exploits team was led by a four-goal effort from captain Brandon Jewer, and Cody Drover recorded three assists.
"The first period, minus the first few minutes, was great. I thought the first-half of the game was excellent," said head coach Darryl Hayden. "We did breakdown a little in the second-half of the game, and our defensive zone coverage was probably the biggest. We'll be working on that."
The Eagles came out like a team on fire, scoring the game's first two goals in the span of 2:01.
However, Lane responded by scoring two goals in seven seconds to tie the game 2-2. Shawn Loveridge regained the lead for the Eagles late in the opening period, and the Exploits squad never looked back.
The Concordes never helped its own cause by taking 13 of 14 penalties in the second and third periods. Many of the players spent too much time on the ice killing penalties, including a couple of five-on-threes.
"It's the second game in a row where we collected too many penalties," said Hayden. "We don't like to see that. When you have to work a lot with your special teams during a game, a lot of the kids get tired. We've definitely been working our special teams."
Goaltender Riley Butt agreed with his coach. There wasn't much Butt could do about the goals that were scored on him, but despite the lopsided score, he expects the loss will push the team to get better, and prove to the Eagles the Concordes are a lot better than what they showed Friday evening.
"We took too many penalties," said Butt. "We couldn't get our power play going and we need to play better in our own end. We got caught running around a lot, but we're going to come out harder the next time we play them, and we're going to have a better effort.
"There's always been that rivalry between Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor," he added. "They're a quick team, and we need to come out harder against them than what we did tonight, and bring a better effort."
Not only was it the first time the Concordes played its rivals from EVH in high school hockey this season, it was the first time a few of the Concordes dressed for a game.
With new players come new chemistry, and although it took time for the new players to get used to playing in a new system, Hayden was confident saying the team will gel together, and new lines combinations will eventually form chemistry needed to win hockey games.
"We had a few players in the lineup tonight that hadn't played yet," said Hayden. "We're continuing to work on line combinations, so it's better to get this out of the way early instead of having it happen late in the season."
Rookie senior high players like Blair Bursey, Colton Collins, Thomas Hedges, Mike Mason and Graham Oldford all dressed Friday night, and Josh Fitzgerald was a healthy scratch.
The rookies are coming along nicely, according to Hayden, who added the new Concordes also understand they won't always be seeing the ice as often as the veteran players.
"They're great...they're some of our better players," said Hayden of the younger Concordes. "They play AAA hockey as well as high school hockey, so that shows you where their talent level is at right there. However, since they do play AAA hockey, it's hard to get them in the lineup, and it's hard for them to gel with the other players. But we'll continue working on that the best we can.
"The players are pretty understanding about not getting in (the lineup) as often as other players on some days, but they're all good kids and we have a good team here."

Hi guys!
I think that the Junior Gillespi's idea (the DSHAPER feature) is so usefull.
It prevents users from waste bandwith for example with programs p2p, uploading files all time (you
know that taking so much upstream capacity, decreces the downstream too because of the ACK packets).
The only doubt i have is what happen if some guy changes his IP address intentionally to free his
bandwidth account (the mono has not a static IP assignment method).
Thank you all

Abstract: Moldova holds the unenviable distinction of having
suffered the largest fall in GDP and living standards among the former
socialist countries in Europe. By mid-1999 GDP had fallen to less than 30
per cent of its level in 1990, while living standards had plummeted from a
situation of relative well-being before independence to one of abject
poverty. This development has neither been God-given nor the result of
particularly bad governance. Indeed, Moldova was for a long time praised by
IMF and others as a progressive reformer and 'over-achiever' in terms of
macro-economic stabilisation policies. The present study is devoted to an
analysis of the economic and political development of Moldova since
independence and to the social consequences of the economic collapse. The
final chapter discusses the reasons behind the dismal development.

A Multimodal Analysis of a Permanent Museum and a Mobile Museum Display in South Africa
This paper will report on research on the semiotic weighting given to different design aspects of museum displays by a particular group in a permanent and a mobile museum context. This research has been undertaken in order to understand how different aspects museum displays comprise contribute to meaning making. It looks at the interrelationship between different design elements and at how the interrelationship between the different design elements influence meaning making. Drawing on Kress and van Leeuwen's (1996; 2001) theory of multimodal discourse and on recent research on communication in museums (Ravelli: 2006; Meng in O'Halloran: 2006), this study considers why it is apposite to consider museums as multimodal, co-deploying different modes to make meaning. The paper investigates the design elements employed in museum displays, which includes: linguistic design (labels and captions); visual design (objects on display, photographs and drawings); audio design (video recordings) and spatial design (lay-out of the display).
The paper will discuss a multimodal analysis of the rock art and rock engraving displays, drawing on inter alia the work of Kress and van Leeuwen (1996; 2001), which is done with the intention of formulating a metalanguage. It is envisaged that this metalanguage will enable museum practitioners and educators to talk about and better understand meaning making in museum displays and contribute to current debates on communication and meaning making in museums.

A series of unpleasant sights showing the actor when he was in the hospital and even when he's dead have been made available for sale.
Though Gary Coleman has not been laid to rest yet, unpleasant pictures of him when he was ailing in the hospital are being shopped around to the media, TMZ reported. And among those pictures, one even shows Gary already dead.
The site further reported that in one shot, Gary is seen having his eyes closed and the late actor is hooked up to a ventilation machine. The person selling the photos claims to have four photos and one of the pictures was taken about an hour before Gary died.
Gary's final photo, meanwhile, was taken after the "Diff'rent Strokes" actor was taken off life support. The site disclosed that asking price is in the low five figures.
Gary Coleman died on Friday, May 28 at the age of 42 after suffering from a brain hemorrhage. Gary's ex-wife Shannon Price, who was at Gary's side at his final hour and the one who authorized doctors to "pull the plug", has since made arrangements for Gary's funeral.
However, Dion Mial, a friend and former manager of Gary who is named as the beneficiary, revealed that Shannon has no legal right to decide where Gary's funeral will be. Dion said, Shannon "has absolutely no rights or authority, with regard to the disposition of Gary's remains, services, estate management."

Spahn's vast baseball collection hits open market
ATLANTA — Warren Spahn's son doesn't want to choose a sole heir among his five children, so he has put his father's 1957 Cy Young award on the market.
Greg Spahn, the only child to baseball's career winningest left-hander, will have more than 800 items — most of Warren's Spahn's memorabilia collection sold in 406 separate lots — at a live auction that begins Monday at the Javits Center in New York.
"I just felt like the time is right," Greg Spahn said. "With everything that we sell, I'll split the proceeds with the kids."
Hunt Auctions has a price range between $75,000 and $125,000 for the Cy Young Award. Other expensive items include a 1958 National League championship ring, 300th career victory ball and Spahn's personal Hall of Fame ring. The event is being held in conjunction with Tuesday's All-Star Game at Citi Field.
Greg Spahn is retired from real estate sales but said he wants extra college money for his children.
He added that his father, who died in 2003, did not want the memorabilia to become a burden. Greg Spahn, who lives on the family ranch in Broken Arrow, Okla., has moved hundreds of bats, uniforms, hats, cards, plaques and more three different times.
Gregg Spahn said he has never sold anything from the collection.
"We've had it either on display in two museums or stored in two houses, and then there's concerns like security and condition," Spahn said. "I'm turning 65 in October, so the time is right to reintroduce my dad to the public. A lot of people don't know what all he accomplished, and some don't know much about him at all."
Many of Warren Spahn's achievements still stand today. His 363 victories rank fifth on the career list, his 63 shutouts rank sixth and his 5,200-plus innings pitched rank eighth. He was on the NL All-Star team 14 years and won 20 games an NL-record 13 times.
After being awarded a Purple Heart and fighting in World War II, Spahn returned to baseball at the age of 25, and the following year he went 21-10 with an NL-leading 2.33 ERA for the 1947 Boston Braves.
His pitching helped Boston win the NL pennant that season, and his 21 victories and 2.68 ERA in '57 were instrumental in the Milwaukee Braves' World Series title against the Yankees.
Spahn was 44 when he retired in 1965. The Atlanta Braves have kept the Cy Young award in their hall of fame, and Greg Spahn says it will return to Turner Field if he doesn't get an acceptable price.
"I have tremendous affection for the Braves and way they've recognized my father's career," he said. "They retired his number, they erected a statue outside the stadium and have done so much to keep his legacy alive."
David Hunt, the president of Exton, Pa.-based Hunt Auctions, said Jim Palmer's three AL Cy Young awards averaged $75,000 in sales last year. Hunt added that Spahn's Cy Young award could be considered more exclusive because in 1957 the trophy was only given to one pitcher. Beginning in '67, Cy Young awards were given to pitchers in both leagues.
"Having been privileged to work with some of the most impressive estates in baseball — (Joe) DiMaggio, (Ted) Williams, (Whitey) Ford, to name a few — the Spahn collection isn't like anything else I've seen," Hunt said.
Greg Spahn has not put his father's 1948 NL Championship ring and 1957 World Series championship rings and a few other personal items up for sale.
Hunt Auctions is accepting online bids for the first 406 lots until Sunday at 11 p.m. The live auction begins at 11 a.m. Monday.

He was at ease and he announced on Tuesday afternoon that he is a Georgia Bulldog.
Blazevich feels good about his decision.
"I am good to go now. This is just another step in the long journey of life. I will be relaxed during my senior year and it feels good to have the recruiting process overwith. It feels great to be committed now."
It came down to six schools, Alabama, Clemson, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Ohio State, and of course, Georgia.
Why did this 6-foot-4, 225 pound tight end out of Charlotte (N.C.) Charlotte Christian pick the Dawgs?
"It just came down to the people for me," he said. "I love the people there and I just fell in love with the coaching staff. I also love the town and it is a school I would go to with or without football. I had to separate that and Georgia is a school I would love to go to either way."
More and more prospects are committing, then de-committing these days, but Blazevich does not see that happening with him.
"I waited to commit because I wanted to make sure of my decision. The word commitment means a lot to me and it would take something crazy for that to happen with me. The coaches would have to be gone for me to think about it. My commitment is solid."
Blazevich is the No. 10 tight end in the country on Scout at this time.

Her announcement was issued one day after the governor had said that he still hoped to save his marriage. "There are hopes to reconcile," he said Thursday, the newspaper reported.
The decision by Jenny Sanford comes the same week that a state House subcommittee censured the governor, but declined to impeach him, over his behavior in leaving the state secretly for five days to visit his Argentine lover.

For Ancaster councillor Lloyd Ferguson, the nearly $1.75-million expansion to the Ancaster Senior Achievement Centre needed to have a "wow" factor for it to be a success.

As over 200 people streamed into the gleaming new addition June 21 for the first time during the grand opening ceremony, Ferguson looked around, raised his arms and confirmed people will be surprised at what they see and experience.

"When they come into the building, see the fireplace and look out into the courtyard, they are going to say 'wow,'" he said.

Invited guests, members and politicians all embraced the new structure. People took turns snacking on cream-filled pastries or dipping strawberries into the chocolate fountain as they wandered about the grand, sun-drenched lobby, soaking up the expansive space, or sitting in the comfortable chairs strewn about the room. Some people were enjoying snacks and coffee in the new outdoor courtyard, which includes a patio where a barbecue awaits.

It was an appropriate 40th birthday gift for a facility that has seen some hard times and spectacular successes since 1974.

The expansion, which began about four years ago with crude drawings, may not have been a reality if not for the fortitude of the senior centre members and dedicated Hamilton city staff, said Al Gordon, chair of the advisory board. Construction began last spring, but late last year there were some serious concerns about the slow progress to meet the federal government's March 31 deadline to substantially complete the project and receive $500,000 in funding.

"We built this centre one brick at a time, one craft show at a time," Gordon told the eager audience. "You deserve what you are about to see."

After the slowdown, a new contractor began work and the construction continued. Gordon praised his 1,000-strong membership for enduring the hardships that allowed the work to continue. He said not one program was cancelled and the membership adapted to the limited space available.

The expansion includes 3,600 square feet of new building space, a 2,200-square-foot courtyard and a new septic system to handle the more than 65,000 visits to the popular Alberton Road facility.

ASAC advisory board member Helmi Kaufmann said the expanded centre will provide some relief for members.

"It's a well-needed place to sit and have a coffee," she said. "More people should come. A lot of people think it's for old people. It's for active people."

Brad Kuhn said the expansion is long overdue and a welcome opportunity to showcase the facility.

"We are definitely happy. We just hope it meets the needs of a lot of people. We hope a lot of people will come out and say this is a place to come out and hang around."

The IDF on Monday published security camera footage that claimed to show the Palestinian teen who approached a Border Police post in Hebron last week and was shot by an officer after allegedly attacking her colleague and pressing a fake gun against the officer's head.
The video shows a male approaching the building and chatting with one of the Border Police officers who is standing outside the structure. He then appears to accost and assault a second officer. No audio accompanies the video.
The male — later identified as 17-year-old Muhammad Ziyad Saleimah — can be seen swinging punches and then struggling with the border policewoman. Two other officers then attempt to assist their colleague, who grapples with her attacker. Once the attacker is thrown off the officer, one of the other border policewomen fires multiple rounds at him.
Earlier reports indicated that the Palestinian man had pressed a gun against the officer's head, which, after he was shot dead, turned out to be a fake weapon.

Houston TX (SPX) Nov 04, 2013
On the eve of a vehicle relocation to make way for the arrival of a third Soyuz at the International Space Station, the Expedition 37 crew supported a variety of science experiments, reviewed Soyuz procedures and prepared for the return home of three crew members.
Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Flight Engineer Luca Parmitano spent their Thursday morning conducting some on board training to prepare to move their Soyuz TMA-09M spacecraft from the Rassvet module to the aft port of the Zvezda service module. Along with Flight Engineer Karen Nyberg, they will undock their spacecraft at 4:34 a.m. EDT Friday for the planned 24-minute hop. NASA Television will provide live coverage of the relocation beginning at 4 a.m.
Yurchikhin, Parmitano and Nyberg also conducted fit checks of the anti-G outfits they will wear underneath their Sokol launch and entry suits while aboard the Soyuz.
The Expedition 37 crew is relocating the Soyuz to make way for the launch and arrival of a trio of new station crew members -- NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Koichi Wakata and Soyuz commander Mikhail Tyurin of the Russian Federal Space Agency - who will dock their Soyuz TMA-11M spacecraft to Rassvet on Nov. 7 about six hours after their launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The three new flight engineers are currently in Baikonur completing their final preparations and training for launch.
Mastracchio, Wakata and Tyurin will deliver an Olympic torch to the station for the longest leg of its relay to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Flight Engineers Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy, who will carry the torch outside the station during a symbolic spacewalk on Nov. 9, worked in the Russian segment of the station Thursday to install U.S. spacesuit lights and helmet cameras on their Russian Orlan spacesuits.
The torch will return to Earth along with Yurchikhin, Nyberg and Parmitano on Nov. 10 when they board their Soyuz for the journey home after more than five months in space.
In addition to their spacewalk preparations Thursday, Kotov and Ryazanskiy joined Flight Engineer Mike Hopkins for a training session with the Crew Healthcare System. This training refreshes their memory of the stowage locations for emergency equipment and gives them an opportunity to work as a team in resolving a simulated medical emergency. The trio practiced CPR techniques and checked out the station's automated external defibrillator device.
Hopkins also participated in the Reversible Figures study. Research has shown that the way astronauts perceive three-dimensional objects changes when they are up in space, and this experiment helps determine how the crews use linear cues and different perspectives before, during and after the flight.
Nyberg meanwhile spent part of her day Microbiome study, which takes a look at the impact of space travel on the human immune system and an individual's microbiome -- the collective community of microorganisms that are normally present in and on the human body. For this session, Nyberg completed a survey and collected test swabs from the surface of her own body as well as from surfaces throughout the station.
In addition to providing data that will keep future crews healthy, findings from this study could benefit people on Earth who work in extreme environments and further research in the detection of diseases, alterations in metabolic function and deficiencies in the immune system.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 10, 2007
Laura Cavender
Rare auto-immune disorder studied at GUMC; Georgetown University Hospital nationally known for treatment
Washington, D.C. -- Individuals with scleroderma are living significantly longer today, compared with 30 years ago, and the physicians who treat this rare disease of connective tissue hope the newer drugs now on the market may extend lives even further.
Scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disorder of unknown origin, results when collagen builds up in the body's connective tissue and causes thickening of the skin. In the chronic and often progressive systemic form, scleroderma causes stiff joints and hardening of the internal organs and blood vessels.
In the July issue of the journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, Georgetown University Medical Center professor Virginia Steen, M.D., studied 2,000 patients with scleroderma (also known as systemic sclerosis) treated between 1972 and 2001 at the University of Pittsburgh and found that 10-year survival steadily improved over those years by 12 percent-- from 54 percent to 66 percent.
"This is really good progress, which we hope to improve upon," said Steen, a leading expert on the disorder who has helped make Georgetown University Hospital a national treatment center for scleroderma. In the 1980s, while at the University of Pittsburgh, she developed a natural history database of scleroderma patients and this database has continued to evolve into the largest in the United States.
The reason overall mortality has dropped, Steen says, is partly because a class of medications, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors became available which dramatically improved the treatment of renal crisis. Renal crisis used to be almost always fatal and now it is a very treatable complication of scleroderma, she said.
Now pulmonary arterial hypertension and pulmonary fibrosis, a condition that is traditionally the second-most frequent cause of death, is responsible for most of the mortality, but these conditions may be increasingly treatable, she said. Patients may develop either disorder, or both.
"Before, it was kidney and then lung disorders that affected most of our patients, and now that we have successfully treated the kidneys, mortality due to lung disease has become the issue," Steen said. "We are working on ways to use the newer medications to help treat these disorders, hoping to further improve overall survival."
While all scleroderma-related disorders are believed to affect as many as 900,000 people in the United States, only between 40,000 and 165,000 are diagnosed with systemic scleroderma, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Like all scleroderma disorders, systemic scleroderma affects more women than men, and varies in severity.
In this study, Steen collaborated with co-author Thomas Medsger, M.D., professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh to study patients with systemic scleroderma enrolled in the registry. They studied patients evaluated at the University of Pittsburgh between 1972 and 2001, dividing them into five-year time periods, depending on when they were seen.
They found survival improved in each of the five-year periods, and that the frequency of death due to renal crisis significantly decreased over the 30 years, from 42 percent to 6 percent. But the proportion of patients who died from pulmonary fibrosis increased from 6 percent to 33 percent, Steen said. The frequency of pulmonary hypertension also increased, but there was no change in gastrointestinal and heart-related deaths.
"Use of ACE inhibitors made all the difference in saving patients from renal failure, and now it is important that physicians use drugs now available to treat lung disorders and researchers continue to search for new therapies," Steen said.
About Georgetown University Medical Center Georgetown University Medical Center is an internationally recognized academic medical center with a three-part mission of research, teaching and patient care (through our partnership with MedStar Health). Our mission is carried out with a strong emphasis on public service and a dedication to the Catholic, Jesuit principle of cura personalis -- or "care of the whole person."

(Washington, D.C.) The week-long trial before a three-judge federal court begins on Monday, August 27th in South Carolina v. United States, a case involving South Carolina's restrictive photo identification law. The trial begins at 9 a.m. in Courtroom 28A (6th Floor) at the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, 333 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
In the lawsuit, South Carolina asks a federal court to allow it to implement, under the Section 5 preclearance provision of the Voting Rights Act, its restrictive photo ID law in time for the upcoming November election.
South Carolina's photo ID law, which only allows for the use of only a limited number of photo IDs when voting in-person at the polls, was previously rejected by the United States Department of Justice.
"As the Department of Justice previously recognized, South Carolina's proposed photo identification measure would be harmful to minority voters," said Leah Aden [2], Assistant Counsel of the Political Participation Group at LDF. "According to South Carolina's own data, minority registered voters were nearly 20 percent more likely to lack a photo ID issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles than white registered voters, and thus to be effectively disfranchised by the state's proposed requirements. Indeed, there are more than 80,000 registered minority citizens in South Carolina who lack a DMV-issued photo ID."
Nationally, 25% of African Americans and 16% of Latinos lack a government-issued photo ID.
"Without the protections of the Voting Rights Act, it would be exceedingly difficult to stop South Carolina's discriminatory photo ID measure. South Carolina's photo ID law is yet another example of why Section 5 is still needed to protect minority voting rights," said Ryan Haygood [3], Director of the Political Participation Group at LDF.
In the lawsuit, LDF represents the South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, and an African-American student voter who attends Benedict College, a historically Black college in South Carolina, as Defendant-Intervenors in this case.
South Carolina purportedly enacted its voter photo ID law to detect and deter in-person voter impersonation and enhance voter confidence in the electoral process. However, South Carolina has not advanced any specific or credible evidence of voter impersonation fraud in South Carolina.
"South Carolina's photo ID measure is a solution in search of a problem. Credible studies show that one is more likely to be struck by lightning than to perceive an instance of in-person voter fraud. The trial will make clear that the state's proposed photo identification measure will have a significant impact on its minority voters," said Ryan Haygood.
South Carolina's voter ID law is part of an assault that is being waged on the voting rights of people of color, recently chronicled in LDF's report Defending Democracy: Confronting Modern Barriers to Voting Rights in America [4], available by clicking here. [4]

How Much Would It Cost To Be Captain America?
Captain America: The Winter Solider is in theaters today. (Read the review here)
The people at Business Insider took the opportunity on this occasion to calculate the costs of becoming Captain America. Ummm I hope you have the budget of a small nation, or at least a movie star's bank account.
The total cost: nearly $55 million dollars. And that takes into account inflation.
The shield is the most expensive part, costing $54,431,100. According to Marvel, 1 gram of the material from which his shield is made from, vibranium, costs $10,000. And his shield weighs 12 pounds. (Nice mixing of metric and imperial measurements - because Freedom isn't divisible by 10!!)
The rest of his stuff: the uniform, the motorcycle, his supermarket shopping cart, etc, bring the cost up to $54,609,201.60. With inflation, that's $54,977,922.05.
So let's think about this for a minute:
$54,609,201.60 minus $54,431,100 equals $178,101.60, or factoring inflation, $368,720.40.
Meaning since World War II, the cost of Captain America's shield has not gone up in value at all in 70 years.
Clearly vibranium isn't a good investment. Now sliver, gold, platinum. Now THOSE are the money metals!!
I need to get on the phone with my accountant. "Morty! Pull all my money out of vibranium!!! Sell, sell, sell!!!"

The tftpdnld ROMmon command recovery procedure fails due to invalid syntax or variables
- Gold, 750 points or more
Core Issue
The tftpdnld ROM Monitor (ROMmon) recovery procedure must be done in a specific way in order to work properly. Inputting the commands with incorrect syntax or variables causes the procedure to fail.
If the tftpdnld ROMmon command recovery procedure fails, verify that the following conditions are met:
- The TFTP server is running.
- The Cisco IOS file is in the root directory of the TFTP server.
- The filesize of the Cisco IOS image being uploaded is correct.
- If using Cisco TFTP Server 1.1, deselect the two check boxes in View > Options for logging and file transfer progress.
- If possible, connect directly to the PC running the TFTP server with a crossover cable.
- The file being uploaded is compatible with hardware and memory requirements.
- If the router has two built-in Ethernet or fast Ethernet interfaces, always use the first interface (usually 0/0). You must use the built-in interface. For example, if a Cisco 1700 series router has a WIC-1ENET card installed, the tftpdnld ROMmon command does not work with that card.
- All variable commands must be upper case. The variable itself is case sensitive as in the case of a filename, as shown in the following example:
- TFTP_FILE= must be upper case and c2600-i-mz.120-7.T.bin is case sensitive.
- The DEFAULT_GATEWAY= address should not be the same address as the IP_ADDRESS= variable. This causes the process to fail. Set the DEFAULT_GATEWAY= variable to the address of the TFTP server.
The following example shows how to perform a tftpdnld ROMmon command recovery procedure with a TFTP server at the 10.1.1.2 address, a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, and a filename of c2600-is-mz.120-7.T.bin.:
rommon 16 > IP_ADDRESS=10.1.1.1
!--- This is the temporary IP address assigned to the router.
rommon 17 > IP_SUBNET_MASK=255.255.255.0
!--- Same as on the TFTP server.
rommon 18 > DEFAULT_GATEWAY=10.1.1.2
!--- Use the IP address of the TFTP server.
rommon 19 > TFTP_SERVER=10.1.1.2
!--- TFTP server's IP address.
rommon 20 > TFTP_FILE=c2600-is-mz.120-7.T.bin
!--- Exact name is case sensitive.
rommon 21 > TFTP_CHECKSUM=0
!--- This prevents checksum errors with earlier 2600 boot ROMs.
rommon 22 > tftpdnld
!--- This command must be lower case.
TFTP_FILE: c2600-is-mz.120-7.T.bin
Invoke this command for disaster recovery only.
WARNING: all existing data in all partitions on flash will be lost!
Do you wish to continue? y/n: [n]: y

THE popular perception in Europe is that Melbourne Cup day provides the best racing Australia has to offer. So it comes as a surprise to many visitors to learn that, while the Cup itself holds pride of place as the most important race on the calendar, Derby day at Flemington offers the best single day's racing in the country in terms of quality.
Four group 1 races, two group 2 and three group 3, all on the one day - no wonder they call it Christmas Day for grown-ups.
And, it truly is the creme de la creme. You will find everything from the top weight-for-age stars in the country in the Mackinnon, the most promising staying three-year-olds in the Victoria Derby, contenders for the Oaks in the Wakeful, the best sprinters in the Coolmore Stud Stakes, and among others, the Cup ''gatecrashers'' going around in the Lexus.
Just less than six hours of sustained competition at the highest level on one of the world's great tracks, Flemington. Many times I have been asked how it compares with the other great race days elsewhere.
My emphatic reply is that it rates as No. 1. The three biggest (single day) rivals are Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe day at Longchamp, Paris, the Breeders' Cup, a moving racing feast in America that is presently being held at Santa Anita, Los Angeles, and Dubai World Cup night. All serve up outstanding racing fare.
The French have done a fine job in building Arc day into a showcase afternoon that attracts fans from all over Europe. Unfortunately, racing in France has lost popularity over the past two decades, though the tierce (trifecta) remains a focus for most punters at weekends.
Poor attendances most days underline that decline, yet nobody would know if they turned up at Longchamp on Arc day.
Usually, about 40,000 pack the ageing grandstands for Europe's premier all-aged race, with its supporting card of six other group 1 races. More than 50 per cent of that attendance comprises visitors from Britain and Ireland, adding greatly to an atmosphere unrivalled in that part of the world.
The Breeders' Cup, which started in 1984, has been looking a little tired of late. Issues with track surfaces, as well as drugs and medication have seen dark clouds hovering over a race meeting that has lost a little of its glitz. Prizemoney is still relatively high, but there have been no serious increases to match the purses offered by Dubai.
Sheikh Mohammed has invested a fortune in promoting the Dubai World Cup program and that has resulted in some memorable races being run at the old Nad Al Sheba and the lavish new Meydan. It is the centrepiece of the Dubai carnival that runs during the winter months.
There is also a potential rival in the shape of Ascot's British Champions Day, but that fixture is still in its embryonic stage, having been staged only twice, with the mighty Frankel its glittering star both times.
They are all great race days, and we are all the better for having been there. But give me Derby day at Flemington any day.
One of my most treasured possessions is an old racebook from Derby day in 1956. The Hotham Handicap, the last race, is famous for the triple dead-heat of Ark Royal, Pandie Sun and Fighting Force. The equivalent race today is the Lexus, and if there is another triple dead-heat, officials might be working until midnight trying to finalise the Melbourne Cup field.
J.A. McGrath is the chief racing writer of the London Daily Telegraph and commentates for the BBC. He will call the Melbourne Cup for the BBC on Tuesday.

I had the pleasure of sitting in Scotty Bowman's office during the playoffs a couple of times when he was in Pittsburgh.
And he said this to me one day, although he probably said it a bunch of times:
"This is the only business where the worse job you do, the more vacation you get."
Not much more needs to be said about Game 7, although I was thinking that I've been lucky enough to cover three of them with the Rangers (all home-ice wins), and as a kid I saw the one in 1971 at Chicago and the one in 1974 in Philadelphia (both road losses).
So I'm pretty excited tonight, even as a neutral observor.
I'm sure you guys are much more excited that I, and probably a lot more nervous, and maybe we ought to hire a cardiologist to be on hand here at the Festivus Blog for tonight.
Here we go, one hour and counting.
Try to enjoy it.
(Just a side note, in case it doesn't go as you hope, please try not to use profanities. Thank you.)
PS, I don't buy this whole thing about how important the first goal is based on the rest of the series. First of all, if you put all that importance in the first goal and don't get it, then what? Do you quit?
Also, Game 6, the Caps scored first, the Rangers came right back with one. It was the third, fourth and fifth goals that were biggest.
In Game 5, the first goal was big because the Rangers didn't score all night. Ditto Game 3. And just the opposite in Game 2, when the first goal was the only goal. Washington scored the first goal in Game 1 and lost. The Rangers scored first in Game 4, and that wouldn't have been enough if they hadn't added another one.
First goal: overrated.

It's been over a year-and-a half since Two Plus Two has published a new book, but that will soon change. Our next book, Further Limit Hold 'em; Exploring the Model Poker Game by Philip Newall should be available by the middle of December. For those of you who read Philip's previous book, The Intelligent Poker Player, this one picks up where that one left off with more advanced information for limit hold 'em players. Current status is that the manuscript is finished and type-set and will soon be heading to our index builder, so we're right on schedule for the December publication.
I'm also going to announce what will probably be our next book. It's tentatively titled Applications of No Limit Hold 'em; A Guide to Understanding Theoretically Sound Poker, and the author is Mathew Janda. We don't have a projected publication date but initial editing work has begun on the first part of the manuscript while Matt is finishing up the final sections. As the title says, this is an all encompassing work on no-limit hold 'em and we at 2+2 believe it will become absolutely must reading for all serious players.
Also, I've been informed that work is continuing on the next Harrington book which is being targeted towards tournaments. Dan and Bill tell me they are working away, and I'll keep everyone informed as to when this text might become available.
Speaking of our books, we ran a cover contest for Further Limit Hold 'em in our Books and Publications Forum which is located here.
Many of the covers submitted are simply fantastic, and our current plan is to pick up a number of these covers for use on some of our future books as well as the one for which the contest was intended for. Also, at the time of this writing, the contest is still on-going, but we expect to announce the winners in early November.
At the time of this writing, Hurricane Sandy is just beginning to hit the East Coast of the United States. I know that many of the readers and participants of our forums are located in this area, so we at 2+2 wish everyone affected by Sandy the best in not only making it through the storm, but in the cleanup and other problems that should follow.
By the way, I have first hand experience in dealing with Hurricanes. When I was a kid, Hurricane Cleo was a direct hit where I lived in South Florida. In fact, the Miami Herald, described by home town of Coral Gables as looking "more like a war zone," so to this day my memories are very vivid. So again, if you live in the area where this storm hit, be careful for many days since the aftermath of a storm like this can also be severe.

I was saddened by the news that Dennis Hopper had passed away. I found out before it hit the news. He was the genuine article: actor, director, artist, photographer, visionary, maverick, rebel, legend, and friend. I had known him, and considered him a mentor. My mother, actress Karen Sharpe, co-starred with Dennis in the late 1950s in a program called Conflict, a popular television serial.
The episode was called "No-Man's Road." We all watched a rare copy of it at his home in Venice a few years ago. Dennis was always very supportive of my singing and acting career. He came to some of my live shows: one in particular stands out, when I opened at The famed Jazz Bakery for jazz legend Anita O'Day. In fact, I owned the rights to her life story at the time and Dennis wanted to make the film of her life. I wanted to play young Anita, and her music was a passion we both shared. Dennis also put himself on the line for me, once which I never forgot. We attended all of his art shows, my mother and myself. A couple of years ago, Dennis had a fantastic exhibit at The ACE Gallery that was a once-in-a-lifetime show for any artist. The opening was star studded. I will always remember the day he gave me the private tour. I will always remember visiting him on sets, and his kindness and generosity to me. Most recently, Dennis received his long overdue star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. I personally lobbied to help make that a reality with the Hollywood Chamber. He was truly honored and touched at the ceremony back in March. Sadly, that was the last time I ever saw him. I plan to have my own special screening this year of his landmark film Easy Rider at the Sunset-Gower lot, which used to be Columbia where the film originated. Dennis appeared on The Stanley Kramer Film Collection, Volume 1 in the special features section of The Wild One, the cult classic biker film my father made with Marlon Brando. Like my father, Dennis Hopper was a true maverick in every sense of the word. On July 11th there will be a very special tribute to Dennis at MOCA called "Dennis Hopper Double Standard." It is currated by Julian Schnabel, and is a show Dennis was involved with up until the last few days. Dennis Hopper is one of those unique, gifted individuals who comes along once in a lifetime. He will be missed.

Target (TGT) reported fourth-quarter earnings this morning, and … well, it wasn't pretty. But apparently everyone trading TGT stock today couldn't care less.
As expected, Target's sales numbers were crushed by its recent breach in credit card security. TGT earnings dropped 46% to $520 million, or 81 cents per share, for the three months ending Feb. 1. A year ago, Target earnings came to $961 million, or $1.47 a share. That's an alarming drop in business for the second-largest discount retailer in the United States.
Revenue was ugly, too, off 5.3% to $21.52 billion, which came in well below the Street's estimates of $22.37 billion. Same-store sales slid 2.5%.
TGT got no respite from forward guidance. Target says it expects current-quarter earnings to range from 60 to 75 cents per share, far below analyst expectations for 88 cents. Meanwhile, full-year Target earnings estimates of $3.85 to $4.15 per share fell under a bar of $4.21.
And yet TGT stock, which has been beaten down by roughly 15% in recent months, was rebounding by 8% of this writing.
TGT Stock: Where's It Going Next?
The huge decline in Target's earnings was of course blamed on the breach of Target's internal security, which led to the hacking of the records of 40 million credit card holders between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15. In addition, criminals also stole personal information on 110 million Americans, such as names, email addresses and street addresses. Shoppers were horrified and responded by staying away at Christmas time.
But this information has been known for some time. So … perhaps the Street was expecting an even worse report, or as I recently pointed out, with this important earnings report out of the way, perhaps investors feel like they can have renewed confidence in Target's ability to recapture its lost customer base.
Either way, it's one heck of a relief rally, and it breathed some technical life into TGT stock.
Click to Enlarge As you can see from the accompanying chart, before today's report, TGT stock had shown a little bit of improvement since the beginning of February. However, today's huge breakout on strong volume looks quite bullish over the near term. Notice the large white candlestick and the ascending RSI, MACD and Stochastic indicators.
There might be some overhead resistance at the declining 50-day moving average at $59.11, and then again at the $63 level, but the TGT train has now left the station and it could be full speed ahead for this beaten-down stock.
On the business side of the ledger, Target has vowed to continue its share buyback program and keep its dividend intact, which is now just below 3%. The company also has been working hard to restore customer confidence in their security systems, and Target is offering free credit monitoring services for a year to customers who've had their data compromised.
Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel also had this to say:
"As we plan for the new fiscal year, we will continue to work tirelessly to win back the confidence of our guests. … We are encouraged that sales trends have improved in recent weeks."
So is the worst over for Target?
Despite the $17 million in net expenses it bled in the last quarter, it would appear so by the Street's reaction to today's report. Even at current levels, investors can still snap up shares at a great price, relative to the most recent peak of last November of $66.89.
Just remember that unless Target begins to show some real improvement (for instance, Target Canada continues to weigh heavily on earnings), the Street might not be as forgiving when the next earnings report is delivered.
But until and unless that happens, I certainly would recommend buying TGT stock at the current price.
As of this writing, Ethan Roberts did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Career Service
The SOS Career Service provides all of the essential services our clients need to achieve their professional goals.
Professional Resume and Cover Letter Writing
At SOS Career Service, we offer the utmost in high standards in creating persuasive resumes and cover letters that help our clients obtain jobs. Your resume will be written from scratch by one of our career coaches . Your resume will concentrate on your marketable achievements, not simply your responsibilities in prior jobs. We will help you find a better job faster.
Resume Guidelines
There is a science to resume writing and we are experts. A typical hiring manager spends only 60 seconds reading a resume (no joke). Thus, your resume needs to be concise, skim-able, and easy to read. We have clear rules and guidelines for our resume writers in order to ensure quality.
These guidelines include:
- Only producing 1 page resumes
- Utilizing Times New Roman or Calibri font because it has been shown in scientific studies to be the most legible font for most people
- Using 11 or 12 point font
- Studies have shown people don't read paragraphs but they do read bullet points. Hence, our resumes incorporate bullet points instead of paragraphs.
- The name of the company, your position, and job description are more important than the dates of your employment. Consequently, our resumes focus on the former by putting them on the left side of the resume, bolded, in bullets, or italicized for emphasis.
- We divide our resumes into sections separated by lines to ensure that the hiring manager can easily find important information.
- All final version resumes are reviewed by 2 resume writers before being sent out for quality control purposes.
- We do not include more than 4 jobs or 7 years of work experience on a resume (it makes the client look like he or she jumps from one job to another) unless it is absolutely essential.
- Do not include high school education on resume unless you are under 20 years old and have not attended college
This is the worst job market in recent memory and our clients expect us to give them a competitive edge with a great resume.

|Murthy Kambhampaty <murthy.kambhampaty@xxxxxxxxx>

OK, here's another ;-). On a couple of machines (xfs-1.2, xfs-2.4.20 from not-quite-the-latest patches), I back up the postgresql system files (the so-called PGDATA directory) with: - xfsfreeze -f ... - LVM snapshot create and mount - rysnc ... ... - LVM snapshot remove (I do a preliminary rsync on $PGDATA to reduce the time the snapshot is operational.) This operation is run every 3 hours. Every few days to a week, lvcreate hangs on xfs_check_frozen, and an xfs_freeze -u ... returns the server to normal operations, though it ruins that backup. I ran xfstest/068 (with dd-generated load) on one of the machines that exhibits this behavior, and it completes 100 iters successfully. I am attributing the success of xfstest/068 to the syncs after dd (it could be other things), and on that basis I am wondering if the xfs sync rework will "solve" this problem (particularly the periodic sync). Any chance it will? (I have stuck "sync; sync; sync" at the top of the script, and am updating our test server to today's CVS to see if my speculation is borne out.) Also, has anyone been looking at this problem, or is it considered solved? In the meanwhile, I have a loop that tests processes spawned by the script for "D" state, with ps option wchan=xfs_check_frozen, every couple of minutes, and if found, the loop kills the backup with xfs_freeze -u and lvremove <snapshot dev> (thanks Greg Freemyer and the XFS developers for xfstests/068). Thanks, Murthy PS: Some suggestions on killing sleeps in xfstest/068, or elsewhere (can I take a pass on the joke regarding loss of sleep due to a certain commercial operating system ... almost): 1.) create a unique numeric identifier MySleep (MySleep=$$ works for me, mostly) and put it in the fractional part of the sleep time with "sleep 600.$MySleep" in the clean function. Then a "kill -INT $(ps ax | grep sleep | grep $MySleep | awk 'BEGIN{FS=" "}{print $1}')" just before the line "sleep "$DELAY_BETWEEN_ITERATIONS" kills off the "expired" sleep 2.) to kill all the sleeps spawned by a script, put MySession=$$ at the top of the script and "for tPID in $(ps -eo pid,session,command | grep $MySession | grep sleep | awk 'BEGIN{FS=" "}{print $1}'); do kill -INT $tPID; done" where needed in the script. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Lord [mailto:lord@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 12, 2003 15:22 To: kris buggenhout Cc: linux-xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Zero filled files On Mon, 2003-05-12 at 13:45, kris buggenhout wrote: > > great, > > I havent followed xfs development lately, but is the problem where xfs > umount would hang on shutdown related to this ? > > because that is one of the things that still annoyed me about xfs ... no > damage was done, but at times, the system would hang on umount.. > > kind regards, Kris Yep, should be, same class of problem really.

Stephen Dando Collins has uncovered yet another extraordinary true story: of the Australian man wrongly convicted of identical crimes in Sydney and San Francisco.
Broadcast date: Tuesday 28 August 2012
Historian Stephen Dando Collins writes about Roman, American and Australian history, and he's somehow able to spot a single individual with an amazing story no one has ever heard of.
He returns to Conversations with the story of Joe Windred, onetime mayor of Orange, NSW.
The two crimes Joe was wrongly convicted of occurred 11 years apart, to the very day; in both cases Joe was mistaken for someone else.
He broke out of prison and led an amazing life back in Australia, with another case of mistaken identity following him to his grave.

Does the Sense of American Exceptionalism Help the United States or Hurt It?
Mario Tama/Getty Images
In his Op-Ed essay in The New York Times last week, President Vladimir Putin of Russia criticized President Obama's assertion of "American exceptionalism," the idea that the U.S.'s heritage and policies make it uniquely able to do what it feels is right. All nations are equal, Putin said.
Some say the concept is crucial to America's ability to protect national interests. Others say it has led the U.S. into military and diplomatic quagmires.

Springtime brings warm temperatures, flowers and the opportunity for families and their pets to spend more time outdoors.
But it's also bee season.
And for one Torrance family, that resulted in tragedy. | » PETS BLOG
When Joe Park and his family left for church Sunday and, later, to run some errands, the family dog, Inu, was happily playing in the backyard.
When they returned, the 6-year-old Jindo dog was lying in a corner of the yard convulsing, her face horribly swollen.
She had hundreds of bee stingers in her, with most of them concentrated on her face, neck and head.
"We thought they were flies, she was convulsing and breathing very hard," said Park, who lives in a two-story house on a cul-de-sac near Spencer Street and Hawthorne Boulevard. "I tried to carry her closer to the patio. She was in a lot of pain and stiff. It looked like her nervous system was shot already. ...
"The dog looked like she was dying and she was completely healthy when we left," Park said.
The 40-pound dog died within 15 to 30 minutes, he said, as the family frantically administered Benadryl and tried to remove as many of the stingers as they could.
Inu died before they were able to take her to an emergency clinic.
"I pulled 10 or more stingers out and, while I was doing that another couple bees came and stung her in the throat," he said. "She died after the last bee stung her."
Don Sorensen of Bee n' Wasp Nest Removal on Ocean Boulevard in Torrance said Park was distraught when he called him Sunday night. Not only was he upset about the dog, but he was worried about the safety of his toddler children.
"He said his poor dog was totally covered with stingers all over, in his nose and mouth," Sorensen said, adding that the call "really got to me."
Sorensen's crew went to Park's house Monday and smoked the bees out of a hive that was discovered under the eaves of the two-story home. The bees were gaining access to the attic.
The crew will return in a few days to do more inspections and to remove whatever is left.
"I had no idea it was there," Park said of the hive that Sorenson believes may have been there for about a year.
There could have been as many as 25,000 bees in the hive, Sorensen said.
"The dog was probably barking and it aggravated the bees," Sorensen said. "And it was hot (on Sunday). They don't like hot weather either; they like nice weather."
A bee attack severe enough to kill a dog is rare, but not unheard of. A swarm of bees killed two dogs in Phoenix in May 2010 and two dogs in Tennessee last July.
Veterinarian Jonnie Quantz of Animal Emergency Referral Center in Torrance said her practice sees many cases of bee sting allergies and reactions, the most severe of which, anaphylaxis, causes death.
But the clinic, she said, has not seen a mass swarming case and she worries that there could be more as native bee populations are now mixed in with the more aggressive Africanized species.
When an animal is stung, pulling stingers out only releases more venom, Quantz said. But even so, she said there was probably little the Parks could have done to save their dog after such a massive bee attack.
In such a case, she said immediate transport to an animal emergency clinic is the best option. But, she said, chances for survival are uncertain. At best, she said, "it will be a fight."
Sorensen said he'd never heard of a bee swarm killing a dog in Torrance before.
Sorensen said bees will target the "dark" spots on an animal - eyes, nose and mouth - making the attacks especially debilitating.
Homeowners should inspect their roof lines and other areas around the house to see if there is any concentrated bee activity that could indicate a hive somewhere on or inside the house, Sorensen said.
"Keep an eye on the roof line," he said. "If the cable company drills a hole, seal it up. If the telephone company drills a hole, seal it up. If there is a hole in the vent screen, fix it. Make sure your house is bee-proof."
Cracks near windows or screens also should be filled, he said.
"If you see a bee fly into your house, it's up to no good," Sorensen said.
And a home that has had a hive in the past is more likely to attract resident bees again, he said.
Sorensen told of one case in which bees had so much honey in an attic that it began seeping through the ceiling.
"I've been doing this a long time," he said, noting that bees often nest inside walls and attics and can go undetected for months.
Bees normally do not bother people or animals, but they will swarm and attack if they feel threatened, he said.
"What they do is if you're getting too close to the nest, they'll come up and bump on you," he said. "If bees are bumping on you, get out of there."

1. Are you working out to your 9 out of 10 at every bootcamp class?
Like I am talking breathing out of your mouth and pushing past that "ugly zone" each and every time.
With our High Intensity Interval Training Bootcamp classes it is proven that you will burn up to 5 x more calories than a traditional fitness class but you gotta work! That is the thing with HITT training; you need to be pushing to your absolute max. Remember chicks you will get out of your workouts what you put in so just give'r! Besides you don't have time to waste so make every second count.
2. What are you eating to fuel your body?
Yes, I said fuel; you need to be thinking good foods will help to keep that fat burning engine going strong. Fill your engine up with the simple sugars, starches and carbs and you will run on empty quickly, be left feeling hungry, dissatisfied and down from the sugar crash. Unpackaged, unprocessed foods like lean proteins, veggies and healthy fats are the way to go. Remember chicks, you are what you eat so treat yourself well.
3. Do you have your SMART goals set?
My personal fitness goal is to be able to do 75 push ups consecutive on my toes within the next 45 days – ambitious yes – but I am determined!
Head Chick Laura made a great point today and said to me "goals without deadlines are just dreams"!
Dream big chicks but plan properly and set up your own SMART Goals! Use the Goal Setting Tools your received in your Chick Pack as part of our Bootcamp program and get on your way to reaching every goal – the sky's the limit!
4. What is your plan to keep you moving and motivated outside of Bootcamp class?
Find a new activity you love outside of Bootcamp, mark it in your calendar, do it at least once a week, make it a date and stick to it. Or find a fellow chick to help you not only stay accountable to your two workouts outside of class but also a friend you can do the workouts with. There is nothing more motivating than reaching your goals with someone to celebrate with and nothing says friendship like a burpee competition lol.
Now that you have honestly answered all of the questions above you should be able to see areas that might need some TLC.
So chicks take the bull by the horns and get at it.
The only thing you have to lose is potential inches and frustrationJ

Although Windows 7 offers a level of security not seen in previous versions of the operating system, there are times when it can be annoying to have to login every time the computer is reset. Luckily, Microsoft does offer a solution to having to log in every time. Learn how to set up Windows 7 to automatically login to an account.
A Word or Two of Warning
Obviously, by setting up Windows 7 to automatically login to an account, you give anyone with access to your computer the ability to use your computer. Setting up an administrator's account as the default account is probably not a wise idea no matter how convenient it may be for you.
One way to combat this problem is to set it up so Window 7 automatically logs in to a guest or some other limited account. Remember that if you set up an account with administrative privileges to log in automatically, anyone could set a password for the account and completely lock you out of your own computer. Choose carefully the account you want Windows 7 to automatically log in to whenever the computer is reset.
Set up and Automatic Login in Windows 7
To set up the automatic login in Windows 7, begin by logging into Windows 7 with an account that has administrative privileges and clicking on Start and then on Run. If you don't have the Run command on your Start menu, you can alternatively hold down the Windows key on your keyboard and press the R key.
Either method will bring up the Run dialogue box. Type the following line in the Run dialogue box and then click the OK button:
control userpasswords2
This opens the User Accounts window where you can control various aspects to users and user behavior. Click on the Users tab and locate an option titled Users Must Enter A User Name and Password To Use This Computer. This option is what makes it necessary to select a user and then type in a password to login to your computer.
Uncheck this box and click the OK button. Windows 7 will immediately opens another dialogue box asking if you want to choose an account into which the operating system will automatically login when Windows boots up.
Type in the username and password you want to use as the automatic login account. You have to confirm the password and then you can click the OK button.
Restart Windows 7 and verify that the operating system automatically logs in to the account you specified.
Although a convenient feature, there are some caveats to having Windows 7 automatically log in to an account. Some people use this feature temporarily to save some steps during a specific project. Others use a guest or other limited account as the default login account to set up a public or kiosk computer either in a public place or even in their homes.
Whatever your reasons, take care that you don't accidentally give someone unrestricted access to your computer and invite the potential for someone to take your PC hostage from you.

Where can I get an ultrasound to find out if I still have filler in my face?
I want to get an ultrasound done on my face to find out how much of my filler is still in me, and where. This will help me find out if I hold filler for longer than two years, as I suspect I do (unfortunately!!). Where can I get this type of ultrasound done? My dermatologist had no idea.

In 2009, thousands of Internet users were asked to remake Star Wars: A New Hope into a fan film, 15 seconds at a time. Contributors were allowed to recreate scenes from Star Wars however they wanted. The crowd-sourced project then stitched all the scenes together into a full 2 hour long movie!

In a caption for the photo, the 'Dark Horse' singer says that the Vice President 'made me call my 93 year old grandma to thank her for my baby blue eyes.'
Katy Perry met Joe Bidden and they took a selfie together. On Tuesday, June 24, the "Dark Horse" singer shared a snap of her and the Vice President on Instagram. "Brought my pink pony to the White House to holler @VP Joe Biden. #wheninwashington," she captioned the snap.
Bidden apparently was also excited to meet the pop star in person. "He made me call my 93 year old grandma to thank her for my baby blue eyes! What a Q-T," she gushed. In the snap, the "Unconditionally" singer looks fresh with her long hair pulled back in a ponytail. Applying light pink lipstick, Perry is all smiles when holding the camera.
Perry is currently in Washington, D.C. for her "Prismatic World Tour", which was launched to support her album "Prism". Prior to sharing the photo with Bidden, the 29-year-old singer uploaded a photo of her at the Washington Monument. "DC! Tonight's gonna be on point, every pun intended! #THEPRISMATICWORLDTOUR photo by @ronysphotobooth," she wrote.
Perry has been meeting politician as of late. She previously shared a photo with Hillary Clinton which was taken when the pop star attended an event for the former Secretary of State's book "Hard Choices". Perry, who offered to write a " 'theme' song if she needs it," received a response from Clinton on Monday. "Well that's not a Hard Choice. You already did! Keep letting us hear you Roar," Clinton tweeted.
