Trouble serving on jury.....
Does anyone else have this problem: Sometimes when serving on a jury I get to the last part to write an explanation and one of the replies (its entire box) covers up where I need to be! I refreshed and tried highlighting, for some reason that has worked at other times, but, not tonight. So I canceled....what to do?

1. I've had this problem from time to time, too
It did happen once while I was on a jury, so I called up DU on my phone. But it's also happened when I've just tried to read a post, but couldn't see the whole thing. I'm glad you've brought this up, thought I was the only one...

2. It happens to me regularly in just reading posts.....always a pic, chart, something
graphic involved. Then there are long 'lines', vertical, running behind the over lap. Hate it and even more when it's on jury service. It only happens on DU so.....????
I'm glad I'm not the only one too!

3. That's exactly what's happened to me, too!
Those lines make things impossible to read. I'll finally give up and go on to something else. I'm so glad you posted about this, since I was sure this had only happened to me!

5. All this time, I thought it must be something with my computer
Since it never happens on my phone, but I only use that as a last resort, LOL. Hoping that someone else weighs in on this. At least we both know we're not alone...
And I love the too!

Stoke defender Shawcross handed bitter-sweet England call-up
Fabio Capello handed a surprise call-up to Ryan Shawcross for England's friendly against Egypt just hours after the Stoke defender was sent off in tears during his club's win over Arsenal.
Shawcross was dismissed for a late tackle on Aaron Ramsey at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday that left the Arsenal midfielder with a serious leg injury and the centre-back, who walked off the pitch in tears, was reportedly still crying when he was driven away from the ground by his mother.
On a bitter-sweet day for the former Manchester United trainee, moments later Shawcross learned that Capello has drafted him into the squad for Wednesday's match at Wembley.
Capello and assistant Franco Baldini delayed the announcement of their squad by 40 minutes to have a final discussion about Shawcross' presence after hearing that he had been involved in the incident with Ramsey.
But Shawcross' clear regret over the incident convinced them to go ahead with their plan to pick the 22-year-old.
Shawcross partly owes his place to Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand's back injury which has forced the new England captain to miss Sunday's League Cup final against Aston Villa.
He has been a key figure in Stoke establishing themselves in the Premier League over the last two seasons and had never previously been sent off in his short career, which also included a loan spell at Belgian club Royal Antwerp during his time at United.
Capello also called up Arsenal winger Theo Walcott and Aston Villa midfielder Stewart Downing, while there is no place for out-of-form Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole.
With left-back Ashley Cole out with an ankle injury and deputy Wayne Bridge opting out of England duty as a result of John Terry's alleged affair with his ex-partner Vanessa Perroncel, Capello turned to Aston Villa's Stephen Warnock and Everton's Leighton Baines.
Warnock has made one previous England appearance in a friendly against Trinidad and Tobago, while Baines has yet to make his debut.
With Terry stripped of the captaincy and Ferdinand absent, it is expected that Steven Gerrard will skipper the team.
The squad
Goalkeepers: James (Portsmouth), Green (West Ham), Hart (Birmingham).
Defenders: Brown (Man Utd), Terry (Chelsea), Upson (West Ham), Lescott (Man City), Shawcross (Stoke), Baines (Everton), Warnock (Aston Villa).
Midfielders: Milner (Aston Villa), Beckham (Milan), Walcott (Arsenal), Lampard (Chelsea), Barry (Man City), Gerrard (Liverpool), Carrick (Manchester united), Wright-Phillips (Manchester City), Downing (Aston Villa)
Strikers: Heskey (Aston Villa), Defoe (Tottenham), Rooney (Man Utd), Crouch (Tottenham), Cole (West Ham).

JERUSALEM (Apr. 26)
U.S. Ambassador Thomas Pickering sharply criticized Israel's policies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip on Tuesday. saying that the Israel Defense Force's methods to suppress the Palestinian uprising there are "outside the standards of human rights which we and Israel share and advocate together."
Speaking at the Hebrew University here, the envoy decried deportations, administrative detentions, demolition of homes and other forms of collective punishment, which, he said, would not solve the problems in the areas.
His comments came as Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin announced that for the third consecutive day there had been no fatalities reported from the territories.
It is the quietiest period in a long time. the defense minister said in remarks to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. The IDF's mission is to restore calm, but this does not mean it can guarantee that "not one stone or Molotov cocktail will be thrown,"he said.
Rabin informed the committee that the nearly five-month-old uprising has cost the IDF about $300 million. The army can absorb $100 million, but the rest will have to come from the Treasury. he said.
The defense minister said the IDF is not waging a war against terrorism in the administered territories, but is engaged in a confrontation with masses of people. "This is a war of squad, platoon and company commanders, not colonels and generals," Rabin said.
Meanwhile. Jerusalem police continued their war of wills with the underground Palestinian leadership in which East Jerusalem merchants are caught in the middle.
The police, determined to break the ongoing commercial strike, have ordered shopkeepers to stay open during normal business hours or to shut down altogether.
The merchants instead have been following instructions from the underground leadership to stay open three hours a day. beginning at 2 p.m. to allow customers time to stock up with essentials.
Fourteen shopkeepers were arrested Monday for failure to obey police orders. Seven were released Tuesday on the equivalent of $650 bail, and seven remain in custody. Trials are scheduled to be held Thursday.

A video of a lion lunging at its trainer at the
casino in Las Vegas has been posted on
The minute-long video shows the lion lounging on a rock, his trainer leaning against a wall, while tourists videotape the cats in the exhibit. Suddenly, the animal attacks the man. With help from another trainer, he fends off the lion and exits the habitat.
An MGM Resorts International spokeswoman told
the incident occurred on Sept. 1. The trainer received stitches on his leg and has since returned to work, she said.
Officials aren't sure what caused the lion to lunge.
Reports FOX5:
Las Vegas Zoo Director Pat Dingle suggested something irritated the lion, but that it didn't mean to do serious harm. "If this cat was serious, the damage to the animal care gentleman would be a lot more," she told FOX5. "The cat had no intentions of doing permanent damage," she added. "It wasn't hungry. It wasn't anything like that. It was just a quick signal."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investigating.


text: One of the things I am struggling with, as I read this interesting and timely thread, is the jumble I see being made of units of analysis. Set the US IRB issues aside for a minute. While US law makes it clear that renumeration is required for another person to perform a musical work...there is no such requirement for someone to write about the work. Anyone could critique the musical line, or the lyrics, or the performance. They could evaluate the presence or absence of the A-minor cord without payment or permission to do so for work they could gain access to through legal means. However, if they want to talk to the author - using the interview responses as data - or gain information directly from the author - like through an online survey - they need to gain the author's permission...it's really hard to interview people who don't agree to be interviewed or surveyed. The difference is the unit of analysis. One is a things (document, webpage, sheet music, etc.) and the other is a person (interview subject, blood donor, survey taker, etc.). The fact that a "person" created the "thing" we are analyzing is really pretty much life on this planet - and the reason why plant biologists and geo-scientists don't usually deal with IRB's or "human" subjects - but if the "thing" is the unit of analysis it stands alone in most cases. Yes there are exceptions...there always are. Now just to cloud the water...assume I am doing a meta-analysis of interview texts across 10 published academic papers. Whose permission is required? Each individual interview subject?...the written text is their words. The paper's authors"...they are the primary authors of the works so they own the words in print. Or maybe the publishers?...they own the communication medium that allowed the interviews and associated papers to be available to me for analysis. Answer...no one, it's a "thing"...an article. A silly aside just to make the point. You could add many people to the list...the mailperson who delivered the journal - they had control and custody over the work and were the last person to touch it before it came to me. The printer who moved the words onto the paper that was bound and delivered to me...he had custody too. Now don't tear me apart here, I already said they were silly asides...but it proves the point...the unit of analysis is the thing...not the people involved. Having spent a number of years reading IRB applications I can tell you that this issue is the primary place applications are held up in review. Researchers want to say they are analyzing a "thing" say a webpage, when in fact their unit of analysis is a "person" who was selected for interview through the identification of their publicly available webpage. It's really basic stuff but this thread shows how easy it is and how often even experienced researchers mush it all up and confuse the units.

Daniel - Chapter 10
Daniel Chapters
1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a revelation was made to Daniel known as Belteshazzar, a true revelation of a great conflict. He grasped the meaning of the revelation; what it meant was disclosed to him in a vision.
2 At that time, I, Daniel, was doing a three-week penance;
3 I ate no agreeable food, touched no meat or wine, and did not anoint myself, until these three weeks were over.
4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I stood on the bank of that great river, the Tigris,
5 I raised my eyes to look about me, and this is what I saw: A man dressed in linen, with a belt of pure gold round his waist:
6 his body was like beryl, his face looked like lightning, his eyes were like fiery torches, his arms and his face had the gleam of burnished bronze, the sound of his voice was like the roar of a multitude.
7 I, Daniel, alone saw the apparition; the men who were with me did not see the vision, but so great a trembling overtook them that they fled to hide.
8 I was left alone, gazing on this great vision; I was powerless, my appearance was changed and contorted; my strength deserted me.
9 I heard a voice speaking, and at the sound of the voice I fell fainting, face downwards on the ground.
10 I felt a hand touching me, setting my knees and my hands trembling.
11 He said, 'Daniel, you are a man specially chosen; understand the words that I am about to say; stand up; I have been sent to you now.' He said this, and I stood up trembling.
12 He then said, 'Daniel, do not be afraid: from that first day when, the better to understand, you resolved to mortify yourself before God, your words have been heard; and your words are the reason why I have come.
13 The Prince of the kingdom of Persia has been resisting me for twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the Chief Princes, came to my assistance. I have left him confronting the kings of Persia
14 and have come to tell you what will happen to your people in the final days. For here is a new vision about those days.'
15 When he had said these things to me, I prostrated myself on the ground, without saying a word;
16 then someone looking like a man touched my lips. I opened my mouth to speak, and I said to the person standing in front of me, 'My lord, anguish overcomes me at this vision, and my strength deserts me.
17 How can your servant speak to my lord now that I have no strength left and my breath fails me?'
18 Once again, the person like a man touched me; he gave me strength.
19 'Do not be afraid,' he said, 'you are a man specially chosen; peace be with you; play the man, be strong!' And as he spoke to me I felt strong again and said, 'Let my lord speak, you have given me strength.'
20 He then said, 'Do you know why I have come to you?
21 It is to tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. I must go back to fight the Prince of Persia; when I have overcome him, the Prince of Javan will come next.In all this, there is no one to lend me support except Michael your Prince,

New Jerusalem Bible
Bible Resources
The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

Some people are sensitive to water, which causes them to itch. They get itchy when they step into a bath or shower. Water-induced itching has fancy name, aquagenic pruritus.
Although allergic reactions usually cause visible hives, sometimes the skin changes are subtle until you start scratching at your skin.
Stress and fatigue also commonly cause itching without a rash.
Some other causes of itching without a rash include:
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Kidney disease
- Liver disease
- Pregnancy
- Thyroid disease — both an under active and over active thyroid can cause itching

Bombing suspect Richard Parker has been moved from the Wilson County Jail to another facility, The Wilson Post has learned.The move occurred on Thursday, Feb. 20, according to the Wilson County Sheriff's Department's Online Information System.Brian Fuller, assistant district attorney with the 15th Judicial District, confirmed Parker's relocation on Tuesday, but declined to say if he was moved due to any sort of threat or the high-profile nature of the case, or to which facility he was moved. "Yes, he's been moved. I really don't want to comment," he said, adding, "he's still in custody."Parker is a suspect in the deaths of his in-laws Jon and Marion Setzer who resided at 580 Vance Lane, about 2 miles outside of Lebanon, off Hartsville Pike, on Feb. 10. Parker and wife, Laura, resided on the same property as the Setzers, at 576 Vance Lane. Parker is suspected of placing an explosive device at the residence. Mr. Setzer, 74, was killed instantly, and Mrs. Setzer, 72, died two days later, on Feb. 12, at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Parker was arrested the following day on Feb. 13. A funeral for the couple was held this past Saturday at the First Church of the Nazarene in East Nashville.Since the incident occurred, authorities have been tight-lipped regarding the investigation. Fuller did say on Tuesday that the investigation was continuing. There has been no official word from anyone involved in the case as to what the device was, the type of explosive used, or what they believe was the motive.Agencies involved in the investigation include the Sheriff's Department, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; State of Tennessee Fire Marshal's Office, Bomb and Arson Division; Federal Bureau of Investigation, Lebanon Police Department, Wilson County Emergency Management Agency and the 15th Judicial District Attorney's Office.Parker was arraigned on charges of two counts of First-Degree Murder, two counts of Premeditated First-Degree Murder and one count of Unlawful Possession of a Prohibited Weapon on Feb. 18 before Judge John Wootten Jr. The judge set bond at $1 million.Parker is to appear in court again for a motions hearing on April 8.Editor Jennifer Horton may be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.

WESMAR Bow Thruster on Oil Support Vessel
WESMAR (Western Marine Electronics) of Woodinville, Wa. has announced the installation of their ABS design approved bow thruster for dynamic positioning on the 175 ft FSV Gulf Fury, the newest and fastest oil support vessel for Gulf Fleet of Lafayette, Louisiana. Gulf Fury, joins a fleet of 17 other Gulf Fleet vessels. "She is our first total ABS classed DPS-1 vessel. With this classification and with WESMAR's V2-20 ABS design approved bow thruster, the Gulf Fury is viewed highly in the industry, creating opportunities for us around the world," said Ryan Pecoraro, Technical Engineer and Project Manager for Gulf Fleet. Gulf Fury was built for deep water offshore work around platforms that are not attached to the sea bottom, traveling back and forth doing crew changes and carrying cargo for the rigs, 24 hours a day/7 days a week. This work requires close maneuvering in adverse conditions, and holding the boat true, and this is where the WESMAR bow thruster is of great value, says Pecoraro. "We believe WESMAR is the only stainless steel counter rotating dual prop bow thruster system to have ABS DP certification," said Bob Sentz, Vice President of WESMAR's Mechanical Division. The system on the Gulf Fury is a Model V2-20NS Vortex counter rotating, dual prop all stainless steel bow thruster, with a horsepower rating from 75 to 150 and the company anticipates similar approval soon for their V2-26 and V2-36 systems

Kevin Connolly Wants an 'Entourage' Movie
Kevin Connolly is lamenting next season of Entourage being its last after HBO pulled the plug due to the show's out-of-control cost, but he's hoping for a Sex and the City-style movie because Entourage, at its heart, is also about four women trying to live fabulous lifestyles filled with new shoes. E! Online reports:
The only people happier than the girls of Sex and the City when their movie opened were the Entourage guys. I was jumping up and down just like Sarah Jessica Parker."
Anyone else feel like they just read an excerpt from Tom Cruise-penned midget erotica, or am I the only here with a literary background? No, really, tell me the next paragraph doesn't involve a thimble jacuzzi and then watch me call you a "liar."

Send North America: West
Regional Focus: West from North American Mission Board on Vimeo.
Drop 29.68 north, 179.47 west into your GPS. Survey your new surroundings. You are half way between the Aleutian, Hawaiian and Samoan island chains, and a long way from Guam or Okinawa. Liquid vastness far greater than the open plains of the American West engulfs you, and you are alone. You are almost literally in the middle of nowhere. Now put yourself there for eternity.
While difficult to imagine, that absolute lostness is comparable to the spiritual lostness found in the West. Whether you're talking about Jackpot, Nev., Nothing, Ariz., Hungry Horse, Mont.—or Hollywood, San Francisco or Seattle. The American West is home to both some of the most sparsely and densely populated areas of North America—as well as some of the continent's most lost.
The vast spiritual lostness describes just about the whole region. Almost nine out of 10 residents in the West have no relationship with Christ. That's 62 million people—87 percent of the population—who are lost. And there are very few people in the region to tell them about Jesus—just one church for every 16,000 people.
So the next time you find yourself in Lost Nation, Nev., or Seattle, Wash.—remember that the people around you may well be lost and have no real hope.
Meet the West Population: 71,815,378
SBC Congregations: 4,465
Population Per Congregation: 16,084
Number of Lost: 62 million
Percentage of the Population Lost: 87 percent
Based on 2009 statistics.
"Most people in San Francisco don't go to church and don't think there's any reason to go to church. You have to be able to speak into the world they operate in. We are actively involved in "being Jesus" to our city." —Ben Pilgreen, church planter, Mission District, San Francisco

HP sponsored study offer few surprises
QualityLogic Completes Worldwide Ink and Toner Reliability Comparison Study for HP
With 3.5 Million Pages Printed, Most Extensive Study of Its Kind Compares OEM to Remanufactured Supplies
QualityLogic Inc., One of the largest independent quality assurance organizations in the imaging market, has announced the completion of a robust study that expands traditional print cartridge reliability testing methodologies to address a wider array of user experiences. The QualityLogic Reliability Comparison Study, commissioned by HP, looks beyond out-of-box failures and offers the industry a new perspective on testing print cartridge reliability based on faulty cartridges, print quality consistency and user interventions. QualityLogic's comprehensive analysis compared leading brands of remanufactured aftermarket cartridges with HP original inkjet and LaserJet cartridges.
"This study offers a broad insight into the types of reliability issues printer users are faced with every day," said Gary James, QualityLogic co-founder, director and VP of business development. "Cartridge buyers should be aware of the hidden costs associated with reliability problems."
In addition to establishing the testing methodology, QualityLogic procured a sample of leading worldwide aftermarket remanufactured cartridge brands. The study focused on evaluating the reliability of black and color inkjet and monochrome toner cartridges.
"This study was the largest, most ambitious and thorough independent analysis of laser and ink jet consumables ever conducted," said James Mater, QualityLogic president and CEO. "The QualityLogic team worked for over one year to conduct extensive testing, and meticulously analyze and compile results — 3.5 million pages were printed and over 1,700 ink and toner cartridges were consumed."
All brands were tested on the following criteria:
- Out-of-the box failures — cartridges that produced 10 or fewer acceptable pages
- Premature failures — cartridges that printed less than 75% of the average number of pages produced by the cartridges tested for that brand
- Print Quality Consistency — Cartridges that produced a high number of unacceptable pages — would have required reprinting of 1 out of 10, or more, pages
In the final analysis, QualityLogic's study demonstrated that HP original cartridges are significantly more reliable than leading aftermarket remanufactured supplies for ink and monochrome toner brands.
"Increased reliability and print quality consistency have a direct correlation and impact on productivity and the overall cost of printing for consumers, whether they work with a single system from home or with multiple systems in a network environment," said Pradeep Jotwani, senior vice president of Supplies, Imaging and Printing Group, HP. "QualityLogic's study further reinforces our claims that HP original supplies offer superior reliability, quality and value over aftermarket brands."
While different aftermarket brands had different kinds of problems, all brands had notable problems in at least one category. Key highlights are shown below:
QualityLogic Reliability Comparison Study – Key Highlights:
- Original HP monochrome LaserJet toner and black inkjet print cartridges were more than 9 times more reliable, and original HP color inkjet print cartridges were more than 50 times more reliable than leading remanufactured brands.
- On average, 4 percent of the remanufactured monochrome toner cartridges failed out-of-the-box or failed prematurely.
- On average, over 40 percent of the color and 17 percent of the black remanufactured inkjet cartridges failed out-of-the-box or prematurely.
Print Quality Consistency:
- On average, the remanufactured brands had 8 times more cartridges that produced a high number of unacceptable pages

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Have you ever been severely wronged by a clay pigeon — just had your entire life ruined by a lifeless disk of clay? Triple B Clays is easily the best place in Los Angeles to get your legally sanctioned revenge on hundreds of them with a real, live shotgun. Adjacent to Whittier Narrows in South El Monte, Triple B offers a wonderland of heavy-gunning sports. A sharp scent of gunpowder mixed with cigar and marsh makes for an almost bucolic weekend afternoon in the SGV, but that calm is punctuated by the sporty popping of shells and lively shattering of targets. The golf course–sized range is always family-friendly, and it's a perfect intro to the world of firearms, even if you're not specifically into object-spite. 831 N. Rosemead Blvd., South El Monte.

The hike through the Old Los Angeles Zoo at Griffith Park is like traipsing through a lost episode of The Addams Family. Hikers can ascend to its twisted, metal ruins, dating to 1912, making these remains of lion's dens and monkey cages almost ancient by Los Angeles standards. You begin by parking near the creepy carousel straight out of Something Wicked This Way Comes. Along the way, it may give you a chill to come across the many inhumane little cages old-timey folks thought were nice homes in which to keep the beasties. Sites like ModernHiker.com will help you plot your course so you know exactly where to go and what to bring. The full hike can cover up to three miles and take as long as two hours. For those with a less adventurous spirit, simply visit the old bear habitat off the grassy knoll. Today it's a picnic area. Griffith Park Drive, Griffith Park, 90027.

One of the greatest things about living in L.A. is how easy it is to get out of L.A. Nearby beach getaways and ski excursions abound, but on the list of easy weekend trips is the often overlooked, but delightfully charming, mountain village of Idyllwild. Nestled among pine trees and home to an abundance of log cabins, it's just a couple hours east of Los Angeles, though you feel as if you're much farther north. Idyllwild is the perfect place for the ambitious outdoorsman, the California sophisticate or the chilled-out hippie. You can hike, rock-climb and mountain-bike, as well as shop the unique boutiques, go wine tasting and enjoy good dining in the town square. But there's also a vibe here, something that tells you you've found the good life. Ask the local folks, and many will tell you how they came to Idyllwild for a visit — and never left. After one weekend, you start to see why. idyllwildtowncrier.com. —Ali Trachta
"Ain't no shame in the block!" shouts yoga instructor Henry McMillan at Hollywood Power Yoga to practitioners making modifications. Serene as students may feel in Downward Dog, McMillan keeps the vibe upbeat. "It's a yoga party," he says. "It's important that people have fun and feel good." What McMillan achieves is an atmosphere that's somehow tranquil and peppy at the same time. In a word: namaste! There are no bogus sounds of the rainforest pumping through the speakers. Instead, artists like Robyn, Empire of the Sun and M83 are the soundtrack here. But lighthearted as the energy may be, the workout is serious. Like any good party, the movement is nonstop, and in no time, the air is thick with sweat. But if you need a break, McMillan says, just kick it in Child's Pose. Party on, yogis. 1310 N.

What's better than smashing a frenemy in the gut with a hard-hitting power throw during a rip-roaring dodgeball game? Knowing that doing so is helping to better the community in which you play. The recreational (yet fiercely competitive) WeHo Dodgeball league started up a little more than a year ago, and players have flocked to its courts to get their game on. But they've also found themselves part of an organization that's serious about giving back. League founder Jake Mason says, "Our fundamental belief is that WeHo Dodgeball is not only a community itself but a large part of the local community." That's meant collecting a U-Haul van's worth of clothing for the Gay & Lesbian Center, raising money for AIDS Project L.A., spearheading a toy drive for the West Hollywood Sheriff's station and hosting a fundraiser "open gym" for AIDS Walk.

If you're into being fit but looking for something a lot more adventurous, try Cirque School L.A. fitness classes, which work every part of your body combined but offer far more excitement than a spin class ever could. Aerial Fitness gets you in shape while getting upside down. If you're not up for the aerial route, try an AcroFit ground class. There's also a 90-minute stretch class that safely increases your flexibility no matter your current range of motion. The staff at Cirque School L.A. is prepared to train anybody, regardless of current fitness state and goals. Classes are small, and tasks are tailored to each student, so it never becomes routine. If you haven't been able to commit to a fitness plan, or if your current workout regimen is more regimen and less gratification, don't despair.

According to an article I read in The Guardian yesterday, research has found that children who learn music, especially before the age of seven, find it easier to learn languages in later life. They also tend to develop larger vocabularies, and are better at grammar and high verbal IQs.
The writer of the piece, Liisa Henriksson-Macaulay from Finland, trawled through many scientific journals and noticed that early musical training "is the only proven method to boost the full intellectual, linguistic and emotional capacity of a child." Even one hour a week of musical training is sufficient to improve language skills and general IQ. She also cites studies that suggest that singing developed in our ancestors before language, and that language might have developed from singing.
If you had early musical training, do you think it helped with your language learning?

Hi again,
nevermind my earlier question, I found a solution. I case anyone is
interested, this is what used:
twoway (scatter group est1) (rcap est1_u est1_l group, horizontal) ///
(scatter group est2) (rcap est2_u est2_l group, horizontal), ///
ylabel(1/13, valuelabel angle(0)) ytitle("")
where est1 and est2 are the two estimates, and est1_l and est1_u are
the lower and upper bounds (same for est2). And group is my grouping
variable. I use the value labels for that variable as well (after
using sencode to change it from string to numeric)
All the best, Rick

2007.218: Complex dynamics of shear banded flows

Many complex fluids undergo a flow induced transition to a state of coexisting bands of differing viscosities and internal structuring. This effect, which is called shear banding, is widely observed in wormlike micellar surfactants, onion surfactants, colloidal suspensions and polymer solutions. According to a rapidly accumulating body of experimental evidence, shear bands often exhibit complex dynamics, which can be either oscillatory or chaotic in nature. This can be seen in the unsteady response of the bulk rheological signals, and in the motion of the interface between the bands. After giving a brief overview of this experimental evidence, we review in some detail recent efforts to address it theoretically.

Ok, here's an odd one... Not sure if its a M0n0wall problem or not (home
network: Cablemodem-> m0n0wall_1.22-> several_computers_on_lan)
One Windows XP machine often won't connect to shares on other machines
that are on the LAN.(connect network drive \\hostname\sharename) BUT if
I *ping* the IP of that machine (the PC with the share I'm trying to
connect to), and THEN connect to the share using the hostname, it works
every time!
So, I can always connect to the shares using the IP, and I can connect
using the netbios name IF I ping the server first. Anyone heard of this

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/3/2014 (1232 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It seems oh-so-close but the Winnipeg Jets' lack of killer instinct in the last 10 days has been very costly.
The Jets, 3-2 shootout losers to the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday night, have lost five in a row, though they have taken three of those games into extra time.
And the task isn't getting any easier. Friday, the New York Rangers are in town, followed Sunday by the Dallas Stars, the current occupants of the final Western Conference playoff spot and five points ahead.
The Jets' next four games are against teams presently bound for the playoffs.
"I think the last five games we've been right there," Jets centre Olli Jokinen said today at the MTS Iceplex, where his team held a practice for just nine skaters. "A lot of close games. A few weeks ago before the break we were able to win those one-goal games."
Winnipeg is now 17-12-9 in one-goal games this season and an argument can be made that the team hasn't played a game that wasn't really close in two months — the last being a 5-2 laugher victory in Calgary on Jan. 16.
Jokinen said there's only looking ahead for the Jets.
"I think as a team and as a player when you start running out of games, you've got to stay focused and stay the course," he said. "Whatever happens the shift before you, try to bounce back on the next shift because there's always the possibility you can do something good. I think there's no reason to be tight right now.
"The coach was telling us last game that you've got to play to win, not to be afraid to lose. I think that's one of the things that we've got to go out there and play with confidence and if there's a mistake, then just bounce back. You just work hard and the mistake, that's part of hockey, part of the game and it happens all the time. The biggest thing is how you react after."

Date of Defense 2005-04-14 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) uses approximately 11,000,000 tons of aggregate per year for transportation projects. Being able to select durable aggregates for use in transportation projects is of considerable importance, if the aggregate deteriorates then the constructed facility requires premature repair, rehabilitation or replacement. Realizing the importance and also that deficiencies in the current WisDOT testing protocol may exist, it has been concluded that the durability-testing program for Wisconsin aggregates needs to be updated. For example, WisDOT is currently using the Sodium Sulfate Soundness Test (ASTM C 88) to measure durability, a test that was put in place in 1960. The ability of this test to predict durability performance and simulate field conditions is questionable and it has also been criticized for its lack of precision.
It should also be noted that the use of recycled and reclaimed aggregates has increased in recent years and not all typical durability tests can be used for testing these aggregates. The Sulfate Test in particular cannot be used for testing Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) because the chemical reaction produces erroneous and misleading results.
This project has identified recent advances in the understanding and testing of aggregate durability. An in depth literature review has been conducted and from the compiled information a laboratory testing program was developed. Selection of the tests was based upon the tests' precision, efficiency, and predictive capabilities. In the laboratory-testing phase of this project the proposed durability tests along with current WisDOT durability tests were used to evaluate the full range of Wisconsin aggregates.
From the test results it was found that the WisDOT aggregate testing protocol could be reduced substantially by eliminating many of the testing requirements for aggregates that have a vacuum saturated absorption of less than 2%. Also, the addition of several tests was ruled out due to their lack of correlation with field performance records. The Micro-Deval abrasion test is recommended for inclusion in WisDOT testing protocol as a test to measure the abrasion resistance of aggregate while the L.A. Abrasion test is better suited as a measure of aggregate strength. Additional conclusions were made based on the durability testing conducted and an overall testing protocol has been developed and is recommended for implementation by WisDOT.

Hong Kong (AFP) Feb 06, 2006
A magpie has been found to have died with the lethal-to-humans H5N1 bird flu in Hong Kong, experts said Monday, bringing to five this year the number of birds found with the killer disease.
The test result on the bird, which was discovered in a rural area close to the Chinese border over the weekend, came as officials stepped up measures to stop the virus speading to Hong Kong from bird flu-hit regions of China.
A statement from the former British colony's agriculture ministry confirmed the bird had the virus, which has killed 85 people throughout Asia and has spread as far as Eastern Europe.
The spate of bird flu discoveries -- in three other wild species and a chicken smuggled from China -- over the past two weeks is the worst since two infected falcons were found in 2004.
The last recorded outbreaks among humans here was in 2003, when a boy and his father died after a trip to China.
The latest scare is likely to deepen concerns that the virus could mutate to a form easily transmissible by humans, sparking a pandemic that experts predict will kill millions.
Officials Monday sought to plug holes in the city's otherwise watertight bird-flu defences after the diseased chicken was found to have been brought in across the city's fluid border with China.
Health minister York Chow said he had won agreement from his counterparts in the neighbouring southern Chinese boomtown Shenzhen to toughen bird flu defences.
He said officials would order culls of all flocks within a five-kilometre radius of any confirmed virus outbreak and added that the government would consider reducing the quota of poultry meat imported for food.
Three people who had come in contact with the chicken tested negative for flu Friday.
The scare has led to condemnation of villages that lie in the Hong Kong-Chinese border zone as the weak link in the avian flu combat measures.
The infected chicken was smuggled in, possibly unwittingly, by a villager who had given the bird to family members as a Lunar New Year holiday gift.
A border police official said police were unable to inspect all belongings of everyone moving in an out of the borderland villages.
Assistant commissioner for boundary and ports Chow Kwong said officers had stepped up border and sea patrols in response.
"Front-line customs officers have been put on high alert and examination of suspicious imported cargo and baggage has also been increased," the customs chief said.
"We have strengthened intelligence exchange with China and other customs authorities, the agriculture (department) and the food and environmental hygiene department to crack down on smuggling activities of birds and poultry," he added.
Bird flu first became lethal to humans in 1997 when it killed six people in an outbreak in Hong Kong.
Experts believe the scourge has been transmitted across the globe by migratory wild birds.
The latest scare in Hong Kong has renewed questions about whether or not China has been open about the spread of the disease within its borders.
Officials in the southern province of Guangdong say the province is bird-flu clean, however experts believe that diseased wild birds -- all local non-migratory species -- must have been infected from a nearby source.

President Obama is planning a birthday surprise for wife Michelle, though we doubt it's much of a surprise.
He e-mailed his plan to millions of people.
In his missive, Obama asked campaign backers to sign an Internet birthday card for the first lady, who turns 48 on Tuesday, Jan. 17.
The president also warned supports to expect a tough re-election campaign this fall.
"This fall, Michelle and I will have been married 20 years," Obama wrote. "The next 10 months will be harder than any we've experienced together, and I couldn't do it without her. I know she'd love to hear from you today."
Obama also joked about his wife's nickname: FLOTUS, which is White House-speak for First Lady of the United States.
Also from the e-mail:
When you become president, one thing that happens overnight is that you and everyone you love get a bunch of new nicknames.
I was already pretty used to this. But "FLOTUS," short for First Lady of the United States, is really something else.
I'm writing because our FLOTUS, Michelle, turns 48 on Tuesday, and I know I'm not her only fan out there.
Will you join me in wishing her a happy birthday?
The decision to become part of this campaign was deeply personal for a lot of people, and Michelle and I are no exception. But we both knew, like anyone else who believes in what we're trying to do here, that this was never going to be easy.
This fall, Michelle and I will have been married 20 years. The next 10 months will be harder than any we've experienced together, and I couldn't do it without her. I know she'd love to hear from you today:

A Sad Day
Up until just a few short weeks ago, I had no idea that Bev had had a battle with cancer. Every day you could count on a post from her, with a really delicious recipe, sometimes two or three in one day. The entire summer she was busy canning farm-fresh produce from her brother's yard. Her energy level amazed me.
On Sunday, Bev would do a post called Saints & Scriptures. I was immediately hooked on having "breakfast with Bev" Sunday mornings. So many of her weekly posts really hit home for me, and I would tease her and say she was writing these just for me.
Her last project was baking for her church's festival. She was only able to be there for an hour or so.
I have no more words, she was an inspiring lady, a fabulous country cook with a zest for life, and a fighter. She passed in her own bed, surrounded with fur babies and family.
Rest in peace, Beverly, you will be missed.

Do the Hands Make the Person?
by Allison Young
Major: art
We are surrounded everyday by signs and symbols–from the words that we speak to the signs we read while driving down the road. Using the King Creativity Fund I am attempting to bring attention to the unconventional signs that we take for granted. I have made an installation piece that combines both gestures and different forms of written language. My project began by taking molds of many different hands with a substance called Algiform. After about three minutes this substance dries to a firm state and can be stretched just enough so one's hand can be gently slipped out leaving a perfect impression. Then I pour a plastic resin into the mold and once it dries I peel the mold back and reveal an identical replica of the original hand. The hands are then displayed holding different objects pertaining to the written word and surround a large quartz test tube filled with shredded paper. Each hand holds a different object and has a different pose representing the different interpretations any one viewer has from the next. I rely on this idea of the viewers individual interpretation in much of my work hoping to induce a more personal and unique experience.

Update: I am SO, so sorry for the delay in posting the winner's information!!! Katie and I were both out of town when this post went live. She thought I'd picked the winner,and I thought she had! My deepest apologies!!!
A random winner was selected, and that person is…kyla whitley. Congrats!
Thanks so much to Cynthia and the ladies at Magical Musings for having me here today!
When this post goes live I will be in lovely New Orleans for the Authors After Dark conference. New Orleans is one of those cities that I never get tired of visiting. There's so much history and magic there that it's hard not to love it. And talk about things to do! In addition to the conference which I know will be keeping me busy, there are a few places I hope to visit while there.
The first is Café du Monde. Even though it's summer, I'm looking forward to having a café au lait. The second place I know I'll be seeing is The French Quarter. The hotel is right in the middle of it so at least I know that's off my 'to do' list. Third on the list: ghost tours! I'm a big fan of anything supernatural and even though I've been multiple times before, taking a ghost tour at night through the French Quarter is kind of awesome. There are so many historic areas and since I'm a geek, I don't mind getting a history lesson.
I don't know if there will be time but I'm also hoping to get in some cemetery time. That's right, I like to visit cemeteries in my spare time (and no, I'm not kidding). In New Orleans, most graves are in above ground vaults and some are more ornate than others. Supposedly the voodoo queen Marie Laveau was buried in St. Louis Cemetery #1 but according to my husband (and many others) that's just not true. That certainly doesn't stop people from flocking to see her tomb. All around it there are markings of three XXXs in a row from people hoping she'll grant them a wish.
The Garden District is also on my list. This covers a lot of ground, but the story I'm currently working on has a few scenes that take place in the Garden District so I'm really hoping to make it. And last, but not least, I hope to hit up Jackson Square on Saturday before the book signing. On weekends there's so much going on there. Live music, a plethora of artists, psychics and street performers abound.
As I'm typing this blog I'm getting even more geared up to go! I don't think I could ever narrow down any place as my absolute favorite to visit, but New Orleans definitely ranks up there in the top ten. What about you? Where do you like to visit? Or where do you dream of visiting? One random commenter will be drawn to win a copy of Primal Possession (US only), the upcoming release in my Moon Shifter series.
About Primal Possession:
To protect her, he will unleash the beast within…
As his pack's second-in-command, lupine shifter Liam Armstrong gives orders and takes what he wants—until he meets red-headed, blue-eyed December McIntyre. Liam knows the human beauty is his intended mate the moment he sees her, but December is far too strong-willed to accept his protection.
December, whose brother is the town sheriff, has every reason to mistrust shifters after one killed her youngest sibling. But the forceful and handsome Liam has gotten under her skin in a way she hadn't thought possible, and the desire she feels for him is almost too much to bear.
When a radical hate group targets all humans known to sympathize with paranormal beings, December is attacked in her bookstore. Reluctantly, she turns to the only one who can help her: Liam. And he is going to take her to places within herself she never knew existed.

The Pleasanton School District is just a little poorer after the theft of 26 solar panels from Hearst Elementary School between 2 p.m. Jan. 16 and 10 a.m. Jan. 21, according to a police report. The panels are worth $800 apiece, making the total value of the theft $20,800.
In other police reports:
A reel of copper wire worth an estimated $8,000 was stolen from a construction vehicle at the Alameda County Fairgrounds sometime between 10 a.m. Nov. 11and 10 a.m. Jan. 20.
Jewelry worth an estimated $6,445 was stolen in a Jan. 19 burglary from a home in the 1700 block of Paseo del Cajon Drive. An unlocked kitchen window provided access. A second home on Paseo del Cajon reported a theft of jewelry, also through a kitchen window. The second home, in the 1600 block, was apparently robbed Dec. 27; $9,800 in jewelry was taken.
A Jan. 19 home burglary in the 600 block of Sylvaner Drive netted computer equipment worth $2,400, jewelry worth $1,145, electronics worth $399, snowboarding equipment worth $1,000, and a $60 backpack. The break-in occurred between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.; a garage door was broken to provide access.

This past Monday marked the beginning of Ontario's first Local Food Week, a tribute to Ontario's farmers and food producers. This new annual celebration takes place during the first full week of June, as proclaimed in the Local Food Act, a series of good food-focused ideas universally recognized as a way to grow a healthier future for Ontario.
With a provincial election just a week away, we've heard many more ideas about how good food and farming could be supported by Ontario's new government. How do we build on the Local Food Act and other promising opportunities? We sent a survey to the four major parties to ask them about their specific plans.
Based on responses to this survey and platform scans, we are happy to report that all parties will continue to support the local food economy! Each party has committed to using the power of food and farming to grow job opportunities across the province. Additionally, unanimous support for the Local Food Act means Ontarians will still see increased purchasing of local food by public sector institutions, as well as goals and targets for increased food literacy and the Community Food Program Donation Tax Credit. We look forward to seeing all of these measures proclaimed and further developed after the election.
See what else they support on our 2014 Party Platform Report.
This new Report shares parties' commitments to supporting healthy food and farming policies across priority areas including the economy, healthcare, the environment, social assistance, and education. You can read the parties' responses in full on the Downloads page, alongside the original questionnaire and links to each platform. Other Vote ON Food and Farming resources include a series of "Good Food Ideas" platform asks, a fact sheet, and a variety of signs and questions for you to use in your community at debates and other election discussions.
You can also email all of your MPP candidates at once using our form at voteonfood.ca.

Goodell: NFL will pursue facts in Galea case
IRVING, Tex.--NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said here Tuesday that the league will "aggressively" look into the possibility that players could be disciplined for their dealings with a Canadian doctor charged by authorities in the U.S. with unlawful distribution of human growth hormone.
"We are very anxious to understand all the details and pursue it aggressively, and we will," Goodell said. "... We will pursue it in accordance with our policies."
Federal authorities last week charged Toronto-based physician Anthony Galea with unlawfully treating athletes with HGH and the unapproved drug Actovegin. According to court documents, two current NFL players and one former NFL player received medical treatment from Galea and the former player admitted to purchasing HGH kits from Galea. The two current NFL players said they did not knowingly use HGH, according to the documents. The players were not identified by name in court documents.
There were subsequent reports that Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss was among the athletes treated by Galea.
The NFL suspended New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison for four games and Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson for five games in 2007 after they were initially linked to banned substances through a criminal investigation.
HGH is on the NFL's list of banned substances but players are not tested for it. There is no reliable urine test for it and the players' union has not agreed to a proposal by the league, made during the two sides' labor negotiations, to blood-test players for HGH.
Goodell said Tuesday he's "hopeful" that the union will agree to blood-testing.
"We will continue to press that in negotiations," Goodell said.
