The Search - Poem by craig moon
How iv searched the world over, but have not yet to find,
My true kindred spirit a lady sublime.
And thou iv had many false starts with ones who were kind,
Non were the one Iv search for through time.
So onward I roam, Across vest oceans of time,
In search for my lady who's so gentle and kind.
Who's spirit is free which can never be tied,
which you can see if you look in her wild gypsy eyes.
So on and on I go, Across hot desert and tundra's of snow,
To tops of high mountains And over I go.
But once in a while I'll rest on there peaks,
and look down into there valley's where she might well be.
And if somewhere, Someday, my journey does end,
It wont be until I find her again.
When I'll hold her in my arms until eternity ends.....

Department of Psychology, College of Letters, Ritsumeikan University
Kita-ku, Kyoto, 6038577, JAPAN
Phone: +81-75-465-7881, Fax: +81-75-465-7882, E-mail: ml-psy-adm @ ml.ritsumei.ac.jp
About the Department
Psychology began in the 19th century as the science of mind and behavior. Since then, psychologists have done research in order to gain a scientific understanding of mind and behavior. In April 2001, in order to meet expectations in the real world and to keep up with current academic trends, the Psychology Department revised and expanded its educational system. The present Psychology Department curriculum integrates what has been learned from research in psychology with practical aspects, in order to foster truly excellent students. Using what has been discovered in the field of scientific psychology, we wish to make practical and clinical contributions to many fields. The aim of the Psychology Department curriculum is to connect what students learn in our courses with real world issues. Students can choose classes from four specializations (cognition and information processing, lifespan development, personality and society, and behavior and environment), as well as other topics in psychology. One notable feature of the Psychology Department curriculum is that classes focused on learning empirical methodology are offered at all levels. Students who hope to become mental health counselors or clinical psychologists can acquire basic knowledge and skills through the courses offered in the Psychology Department. However, in order to obtain clinical qualifications, students must study at a graduate school (e.g., the Graduate School of Science for Human Services in our University).

This game in Division Two of the Bury Ladies Netball League started very even, with both teams scoring from their own centres.
Kings crept ahead by two goals, before City Leisure found themselves in front by two goals after some excellent shooting by their man-of-the-match goal attack, who scored 16 of their 17 goals.
Kings brought it back to an even score before netting a penalty on the stroke of half-time to lead 9-8.
City Leisure were slow getting back into the game in the second half with Kings taking advantage to score the next three goals to lead 12-8. Kings stayed four ahead for most of the second half and made sure of the points in the final minutes when they scored two goals to win the game 23-17.

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
I am on the board of directors of 2 technology companies & do consulting engagements from time to time. Ordinary income is minimal as I usually receive stock (not cash). No health insurance coverage from the above.
I do not currently collect social security.
On May 16, 2014 I will turn 65 years old.I currently have cobra medical insurance through my former employer. OK.I don't want to run the risk of a gap in coverage during the transition to Medicare. I understand.What are the steps I need to take to enroll in medicare at age 65 and when? Within 3 months of your 65th birthday you will want to enroll at the link provided below. This is for people who don't plan on collecting their SS retirement at that "early" age of 65, but do need to get Medicare. But you MUST proactively apply, it won't be automatic.
When & how should I discontinue my current coverage? I'd definitely wait until your Medicare is on board. So when you turn 65 (after you have applied just before turning 65), you want to notify your COBRA carrier.How should I go about finding a medicare supplement policy? You can research on the web or use a Medicare Broker. Just the other day, because it is the time period to change policies, my mother went from an Advantage Plan to Original Medicare with a Supplement (the supplement fills in the gaps not covered by A&B, like deductibles, co pays, etc.). The agent we used I had met at an informational display, where I was advising on Social Security and her company, Bankers, we informing on what it provides in terms of Medicare. Anyway, she was SO good at explaining the differences between Advantage plans vs. supplements and we so appreciated it, and looking at which would best fit my mom's needs. That being said, if you can find someone like that who does not work for ONE company but can sell various Medicare company's products so as to be able to point out the best one for you (not push the only one she sells) - I think it is helpful. SO much depends on your income, what you can afford, what health needs you have, including prescriptions, etc.Anything else I need to know? You seem to be heading in the right direction - and not waiting until the last minute IS important, so you can learn of all the policies and what they will cover, so you can choose. Note that the Advantage plans, which are provided by private companies, having differing coverages for different states/regions. Site the allow you to search, you will see, ask for your zip code. We ended up NOT going with an Advantage plan, but with the F plan which is a supplement (the most expensive but no more deductibles, not co pays, no 20%, etc.) And apparently once you are in a supplement, they can't kick you out. Once one is ill a lot or deteriorating, one likely can't get into the higher coverage medicare supplements.
I would likely use the link below for learning the basics of what is out there:

If your data has a natural candidate key, use that. If not, add extra parts until you have a unique key. If you are using OrderPreservingParitioner, it is really important to use keys which can give you a lexically sortable range to scan when you need to find them, so that you can use get_range_slice etc. There are other approaches however - in some cases it may be possible to use columns instead of rows there. But you'd still need keys for the columns. A straightforward way of generating unique IDs for your objects is to add an incrementing ID (managed locally) to the host name of the (client) node where they were generated. But this is probably not helpful in most cases. Mark

Jury trial underway into Okotoks murder
Court: Brother breaks down on stand while talking about murdered sister
Wednesday, Feb 12, 2014 04:08 pm
The brother of a Filipino woman killed only weeks after arriving in Canada kept a picture of his sister in his jacket pocket, next to his heart, while testifying on the first day of the trial into her murder.
A jury trial began Monday into the murder of Marites Teresa Reyes Enrique, who was known as Teresa or Tess to her friends and died April 17 on route to the hospital after being found with severe stab wounds in her Cimarron apartment.
Her older brother Ronaldo Enrique, frequently broke down while talking about the discussions he had with his sister after she arrived in Canada at the end of March 2012.
He said he frequently talked to his sister from his home in California, sometimes as much as three times a day.
He told the six man and six woman jury that his sister was happy the first two weeks in Canada, but that changed dramatically in the third week, a week that would end with her dying of multiple stab wounds.
�The first week, the second week, she�s really happy,� Enrique said. �(She said) its beautiful in Canada. It is cold.�
However, after three weeks living in Okotoks Teresa wanted to return to the Philippines. Enrique said in during their daily text messaging and online chat conversations his sister said she felt trapped by Pelaez and was scared of him.
�She said she is having a very difficult time,� Enrique said. �She felt like she was in a prison. It was Carlos � she could not leave by herself� She was really afraid of Carlos, fearful of what he might do towards her.�
However, Teresa said Pelaez never hit her, Enrique said. He said he talked to Pelaez once and said the man only asked why his sister would want to return to the Philippines.
Enrique said his sister also wished to go home and take care of their sick mother.
On the day she died Teresa told her brother she was going to Walmart to print an airline ticket she had purchased to go back to the Philippines.
He never heard from his sister again.
Court heard EMS and police arrived at the couple�s apartment around 2 p.m. on April 17, 2012 to find both suffering from stab wounds.
Okotoks RCMP const. Melanie Skidmore testified she arrived at the scene that afternoon before EMS and saw Teresa Enrique rolling around on the floor, covered in blood. One of her pinkies had been severed and she was moaning and asking for help, saying she thought she was dying.
Carlos Pelaez was also laying on the floor next to her, with blood on him and seemed to be trying to comfort her, Skidmore said.
�They were pale, yellow in colour,� Skidmore said. �There was lots of blood.�
She said Pelaez also had blood on him, but she couldn�t see where it was coming from.
An off-duty Calgary police officer, who lived in a neighbouring apartment was already inside and had moved a kitchen knife with an eight inch blade away from the pair, she added.
When she and her partner arrived the scene was frenzied, she continued.
�It was pretty chaotic,� Skidmore recalled. �There a lot of blood. Her pinky finger was cut off and it was on the ground.�
Skidmore said when the ambulance left with the pair, she noticed Teresa�s finger had been left behind so she gave it to a firefighter to give to EMS personnel.
However, Teresa Enrique never made it to hospital, passing away in the ambulance.
Pelaez was air lifted to a Calgary hospital, where he was treated and subsequently arrested upon his release.
Enrique said it was hard facing Pelaez in court, a man he believes killed his only sister.
�He�s the one who killed my sister,� he said. �I want him to go to jail.
Enrique, who was almost 20 years older than his sister said they were very close.
�When she was little I took care of her,� he said. �I was the one who changed her diapers. I bathed her. I fed her. When she went to school I did take her to school. Whenever she had problems she would come to me for advice. She would tell me all her problems. This is how I loved her a lot.�
Teresa�s death has been hard on his parents, Enrique added.
�They want justice for my sister,� he said, adding he doesn�t think the penalty will be stiff enough. �It is only 25 years here. Its not life. Its not good enough.�
The trial is expected to take two to three weeks.

This area has had a real population BOOM; not just the residents growing up and joining the workforce, or having babies, but the immigrants have contributed to the huge rise in traffic struggling to get back and forth to work every day. What are they going to do in the next decade, as the rate of people using public transport or our area's highways continues to expand?
According to Connaughton, we will have to find ways to get around using the transportation systems we already have; no extending the roads, or the subway. I-395, I-95, and I-66 are extended as far as they can go, and it would simply cost too much to extend/expand the subway. (Maybe we can use more shuttle buses, or expresses buses, which will do a heck of a job on our carbon imprint!)
This will probably be good news for those that are equipped to telework. This will become much more important to employers and employees alike, as rush hour traffic gets more and more congested, no matter how you get there!
Does your employer telework? Should it? Got any thoughts on some other ways to halt this mad growth spurt?

Benjamin Ulysses Ratchford was born in Gastonia, N.C. on Sept. 7, 1902, to Joseph F. and Marietta Ratchford. He earned a B.S. from Davidson College (1926), and earned the first doctorate in economics awarded by Duke University in 1932. After serving briefly as an economics instructor at Cornell University (1927-1928), Ratchford returned to Duke and joined the faculty of the Economics Department in 1928. While at Duke, Ratchford authored several books, such as
He also served in a number of official positions, including Raleigh District Price Officer for the Office of Price Administration (1942-1943), Instructor in the Army Finance School (1943-1944), Economic Advisor for Level of Industry in the Office of Military Government for Germany in Berlin (1945-1946), Deputy Chief of the Office of Program Review for the Economic Cooperation Administration in Paris (1948), and Chief Economist for the International Bank Reconstruction and Development Mission to Turkey (1950). Ratchford received the Medal of Freedom in 1946 for his work on German reparations, awarded by the War Department to civilians performing meritorious service overseas during World War II. Davidson College awarded him a Citation of Merit in 1948, an honor made on the basis of a national poll of Davidson alumni.
Ratchford was also a member of the board of editors of the
In 1960, Ratchford left Duke to become vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond, Va. He retired from that position in 1967, and returned to Durham, N.C.
He married Laura B. Deaton in 1932; they had two children. Benjamin U. Ratchford died Jan. 20, 1977.
The Benjamin U. Ratchford Papers contain correspondence, subject files, teaching materials, documents, writings, notes, reports, a journal, and a scrapbook. Major subjects present within the collection include the Duke University administration and Economics Dept., the Federal Reserve Bank, the Office of Price Administration, the economy of Germany after World War II, the United States War Department, and monetary regulation.
The papers are organized into two series, Correspondence and Subject Files.

The correspondence also outlines his role as vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The Subject Files series covers various topics, including the Federal Reserve Bank, the Duke University Economics Department, teaching materials, the resignation of President A.

This series contains correspondence with a variety of individuals and organizations. Early correspondence includes letters from Ratchford's friends and colleagues during World War II. Other correspondence from this time relates to Ratchford's work on the economy of post-war Germany. The later correspondence relates to Ratchford's roles as professor, researcher, economic advisor, and editor. In 1959, the correspondence documents a Ford Foundation grant to conduct a study of the economy of the South. In a letter at the end of 1959, Ratchford gives advice to Duke President A. Hollis Edens just before his resignation. Correspondence in 1960 outlines Ratchford's transition to his position as vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Letters in 1977 were notes of sympathy to Ratchford's family. An additional folder contains correspondence and autographs collected by Laura Ratchford. These materials feature autographs and autograph facsimiles of politicians.
This series contains subject files of Ratchford's papers, such as documents, clippings, reports, a journal, a scrapbook, printed matter, and other materials.

Macintosh Computers: Five Reasons to Love the Mac
If you regularly use Macintosh computers, you understand that once you have a Mac, you'll never go back. On the other hand, if you've never owned an Apple computer, you don't know what you're missing. An Apple Macintosh - whether it's a MacBook, a Mac Pro, or an iMac - takes personal computing to a whole new level. I bought my first iMac in 1998, have upgraded twice, and am still happy as a proverbial clam. Here, then are five reasons to love the Apple Macintosh.
3. Digital living. Macintosh computers are designed to embrace the digital lifestyle. MacBooks and iMacs come with iLife, a wonderful array of applications that let you effortlessly share photo albums, record podcasts and songs, and even create and edit movies. You can even publish your creations on the Web with a single click. How cool is that?
4. Bug-free. If you've been wrestling with Vista the past few months (or any other Windows operating system, for that matter), you don't know the meaning of freedom. Macintosh computers' operating systems are bug-free, and as for upgrades, you get to choose when to receive software update notifications, and always have the choice of updating now or in the future. Mac simply isn't intrusive; you get to control technology, instead of having technology control you.
5. Workhorse. Macintosh computers are more than a way to frolic in your spare time. They're also workhorses. For years, graphic artists and publishers have almost exclusively used Macs for work. With the Mac Pro, you can get Adobe Creative Suite 3, a suite of tools specifically designed for creative professionals. Whether you're a web designer, a graphic artist, an art director, or a video professional, Adobe Creative Suite 3 will make your work easier, better, and more fun.
There are those who say that Macintosh computers are limited in that much of the available software is only compatible with PCs. My experience is that my Mac can do anything a PC can do - and do it better. But for those diehards who insist that they can't live without Windows, the next version of Mac OSX, Leopard, will allow you to install Windows XP on the Mac. Right now, you can run Windows in emulation mode...although for the life of me, I don't understand why you would want to!

I'll leave it to others better suited to comment on the horror of Friday afternoon in Newtown, Conn. I am not yet a parent and would not presume to understand the emotions involved in something like this.
But on the media reaction and exploitation that followed the horrific news, I will comment.
Simply put, it was disgusting.
I've said before how progressives will exploit anyone and anything to advance their agenda, but I'd always thought there was a line, somewhere, of decency they wouldn't cross. I was wrong.

It was expected to a be a big seller and a key profit driver, but will now miss the busy Christmas sales period.
The game will not be available before 1 April as extra levels are added.
Nintendo saw profits tumble in the last quarter as it faced weaker demand for its consoles and the release of Sony's portable PlayStation (PSP) loomed.
High costs
The high cost of launching new products also hurt profits and the delay to the release of the Zelda game means the firm's development costs will increase.
Nintendo said the cut would be timed to precede a US dog game launch on 22 August.
Nintendogs, a game where players must care for a puppy, is reported to be doing well in Japan.
Nintendo's own GameBoy Advance sells for about $100 and its new Game Boy Micro, a smaller version of the console, will cost about $99.
The Micro would be available from the end of September in US. It will be launched in Europe on 4 November for a recommended retail price of 99 euros ($122),
Sony's PSP, which is due to be launched in Europe on 1 September, costs about $250.

Allowed to take a break from Herceptin?
- Question from HelenT: Can I take a break from Herceptin this summer? Is there any clarity since ASCO on what is the optimal frequency and total number of weeks someone with HER2-positive, node-positive early breast cancer should be given Herceptin? I have just completed a treatment of AC and Taxol chemo as well as radiotherapy.
Answers -
Maria Theodoulou, M.D.
Based on the Herceptin data presented at ASCO this year, women diagnosed with HER2-positive are being offered Herceptin as part of their adjuvant therapy as long as their underlying cardiac function is normal. The results presented showed a clear and impressive reduction of disease recurrence in women who have received Herceptin that have HER2-positive disease.
Some women completed their chemotherapy without Herceptin because they were randomized to a non-Herceptin arm in the clinical trial, or were not part of a clinical trial from the beginning of their treatment. But now, Herceptin is being offered to women diagnosed with HER2-positive disease as long as it is within 6 months of completing their last chemotherapy cycle. The Herceptin is given in these circumstances, as the one just described, once every three weeks. This allows for a nice block of time to be away from your treating physician and clinic.
Because Herceptin is accepted worldwide now, as part of the early treatment in the adjuvant setting for HER2+ breast cancer, it is fairly easy to find. Even on vacation, you can probably find a physician who will help and cooperate with your care in order to avoid missing a dose for more than 6 weeks. If you plan to leave your home town, where you normally receive care, and travel during the summer months for longer than 4 to 6 weeks, your doctor can help coordinate with a doctor in the other area, in most cases.
Whether you are on Herceptin or not, when you travel, always, ALWAYS carry your physician's phone number and contact numbers with you. When traveling with prescriptions, such as prophylactic antibiotics in case you are at risk for lymphedema, please fill those prescriptions before you leave. Don't just take the written prescription with you.
The world has become a very small place with electronic mail and cell phones, and you can be tied directly to your physician even when you travel. Have that information in your wallet; carry your filled prescription bottles with you. When you're traveling for longer than 2 or 3 weeks, take an extra lymphedema sleeve with you. Treat yourself with the care, consideration, and love that you would your baby when you pack all those extra supplies to take care of him or her wherever you go.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Summertime Issues: Treatment and Personal Care featured Maria Theodoulou, M.D., Tamara Shulman, Ph.D., and moderator Marisa Weiss, M.D. answering your questions about the various summertime issues that relate to breast cancer treatment and personal care.
Editor's Note: This conference took place in June 2005.
The materials presented in these conferences do not necessarily reflect the views of Breastcancer.org. A qualified healthcare professional should be consulted before using any therapeutic product or regimen discussed. All readers should verify all information and data before employing any therapies described here.

text: By PAN PYLAS and FRANCES D'EMILIOROME (AP) â¿¿ Italy emerged from elections Tuesday with no clear winner, driving markets around the world markedly lower as investors worried that one of Europe's biggest economies would be unable to build a governing coalition that can stay the course on unpopular austerity measures. A day after polling ended, a few seats in Parliament based on Italians' voting abroad still remained to be decided, but their numbers won't ease the gridlock. European leaders pleaded with politicians in Italy to quickly form a government to continue to enact reforms to lower Italy's critically high debt and spare Europe another spike in its four-year financial crisis. If Italian parties fail to form a governing coalition, new elections would be required, causing more uncertainty and a leadership vacuum. "What is now decisive for Italy â¿¿ but, because Italy is such an important country for Europe, also for the whole of Europe â¿¿ is that a stable government that is capable of acting can be formed as quickly as possible," German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told reporters in Berlin. The results of the election are a rejection of the tough austerity approach of the previous technocratic government led by Mario Monti. A center-left coalition led by Pier Luigi Bersani appears to have won a narrow victory in the lower house of parliament, while the Senate looks split with no party in control. Italy's FTSE MIB index fell nearly 800 points, or 5 percent, to 15,552 Tuesday. Some of its banking stocks were briefly suspended after precipitous falls at the bell. The interest rate on the country's benchmark 10-year bond â¿¿ an important gauge of investor sentiment â¿¿ rose by 0.39 percentage points to 4.83 percent. Investors sought protection in the bonds of more stable and prosperous economies, such as German government bonds.

Two second-half goals from Emmanuel Adebayor helped Tottenham to a 3-1 win against Swansea City that draws them level on points with Arsenal.
Following their north London rival's surprise defeat at QPR yesterday, Harry Redknapp's side looked to gain three points to take them to joint third place and end a run of five league games without a win.
Swansea looked to spoil the party when they came from a goal behind in the second half but two headers from Adebayor sealed a vital win for the Lilywhites.
Van der Vaart opened the scoring on 18 minutes when he finished off a rapid Spurs attack.
Bale was played in behind the Swans' left back and his pull back was cut out by Ashley Williams straight into the path of the on-running Dutchman, who calmly slotted the ball high past the helpless Michel Vorm.
Swansea levelled on 58 minutes through Gylfi Sigurdsson. The ball was chested down by Wayne Routledge on the edge of the Spurs box to the Icelandic midfielder, whose powerful snap shot into the ground bounced up and over Brad Friedel into the left side of the goal.
Tottenham knew that three points meant they would draw level with Arsenal in third place and, following the Swansea equaliser it was the home side pressing for a winner.
Their urgency was rewarded when Adebayor rose above Neil Taylor to head home Rafael Van der Vaart's corner on 73 minutes.
Chances of a second Swansea come back were thwarted on 86 minutes when Adebayor again towered above the visitor's defence to meet Aaron Lennon's cross from the right and head home from six yards.
Tottenham's run of five games without a win has not been reflective of their performances in recent weeks and once again they started the game brightly.
Van der Vaart went close in the eighth minute when his shot from inside the box hit a Swans defender and passed just wide of the left post.
Adebayor also poked his shot wide when he met Bale's cross after the Welshman had beaten the Swansea left back with a trademark run down the left flank.
A rare early chance for the visitors was squandered when Wayne Routledge found himself on the edge of the Spurs box but the midfielder dragged his low shot wide.
And the visitors again were left to rue a good opportunity on 31 minutes when Williams shook off the attention of Younes Kaboul from a corner but his header into the ground from six yards bounced over.
Spurs had the better of the chances in the first half through a Kaboul header, well saved by Vorm, and a 25-yard effort from Bale that fizzed narrowly over the bar.
Following the goal, Spurs were unable to build on their lead but Harry Redknapp's side pressed the Welsh visitors, breaking up their passes and snuffing out any real threat of an equaliser.
Their work ethic continued into the second half with Swansea stifled by the home side and in particular Scott Parker and the tireless Adebayor.
Gareth Bale was appealing for a penalty soon after Spurs took the lead for the second time when he was brought down after a darting run past three Swansea defenders.
The Welshman had already passed the ball to Modric when the challenge came in inside the box and that could have been a factor in referee Andre Mariner's decision to let play continue.
Had Modric not dragged his shot from the edge of the box wide on 44 minutes, Spurs could have gone into the break with a bigger lead.
It was somewhat against the run of play when Swansea eventually did draw level but a world class save from Brad Friedel prevented an earlier equaliser shortly after half time.
Gylfi Sigurdsson's curling effort from 30 yards looked certain to be heading into the top right corner but the veteran goalkeeper sprung to his left and pushed the ball onto the post and away from danger.
Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, Gallas, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto (Rose, 87), Sandro (Lennon, 70), Parker, Modric, Van der Vaart (Livermore, 84), Adebayor, Bale.
Subs: Cudicini, Lennon, Saha, Defoe, Rose, Livermore, Nelsen.
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor, Routledge (Dyer, 70), Britton, Sigurdsson, Allen, Sinclair, Graham (Moore, 78).
Subs: Tremmel, Tate, Dyer, McEachran, Lita, Moore, Gower.
Referee: Andre Marriner (W Midlands).

Reviews of this property
We stayed a night at Javiers place in Huelva. Javier was very polite and friendly, and his place is close to the center. The place is clean and he can explain more about the city.
The reason why I give 9 out of 10 points is that there was no WiFi at his place at that time, but close to his house is a Library were you have access.
Thank you Javier for hosting us.
Estuve poco tiempo , pero lo poco que se coincidió fue un anfitrión agradable, la estancia era acogedora la casa muy bonita, volveré la próxima vez sin duda.
Buen anfitrión, mi pareja y yo estuvimos agusto en la casa y un dia vimos un partido de fútbol con el :)
Habitacion muy centrica, exactamente a tres calles de una gran zona de marcha de tipo universitaria.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Javier is a very friendly person. He came to pick me up from the city centre. And he had maps and lots of information about the city and the area. He didn't speak much English, but that was good for me, as this way it was very good practice of my Spanish. He made me feel welcome. The room was ok and clean, and so was the shared bathroom. It's walking distance from the city centre.
I can recommend him.
Lugar encantador, Javier, muy atento y paciente con mi espera, una gran persona, muy agradable. Todo muy limpio, tranquilo y correcto. Cuando regrese a Huelva iré a su casa de nuevo sin duda, un placer. Gracias
Very nice house and room, all quiet and clean site. The owner good and nice person, very friendly and well attention. I will back Javier home, Excellent very good 100 % security. Thanks for all.
Muy agradable todo, tranquillo y muy simpatico. Muchas gracias Javier!

With the market in a butterfly downward trend, no one is winning much of anything. Current (15JAN08) prices of these stocks are lower than just five days ago when we picked them, but that's life. After a fictional 34% gain on an earlier Fantasy Portfolio, we were told to do it again – it was, perhaps, unwise, to accept the friendly challenge. So be it. We'll be honest and you'll see if there's any hope for us! We're no experts, this is just informative, you know the deal – it's all fantasy guess work for fun.
AM American Greetings $19.33
WFC Wells Fargo Company $28.04
NOK Nokia Corporation $34.96 (a little rich for us, but a good-looker)
WM Washington Mutual $14.63
Crazy, right? Two banks and a greeting card company that really only does well at Christmas? Here's the thinking that took place…
The last five years show very little slipping and sliding up and down. Almost naturally, the greeting card company is stronger at Christmas and tends to dive one-third into the year (after St. Patty's Day?) This last year was the most wicked of five years and the 52-week range bottomed at $18.11 With current prices so near the low for the year, AM showed promise as did the other four choices – as of this post, we're at $17.93 which is a new 52-week low. Damnit.
Wells Fargo! What could possibly go wrong? Five year track shows steady increase with dips two-thirds into the year. Again, 2007 was the roughest year with great, big dips and gains. A 52-week low of $25.79 has the stock at prices not seen since late 2003. It's gotta come up within six months or even a month, right? As of this post, we're at $26.49 which, thankfully, is not a new 52-week low.
Nokia got your attention, right? A tech stock from a tech-slanted website? We were aiming for near 52-week lows and actually used this pricey stock to deny any changes the others might go through. Nokia has been strong and stronger for ALL of 2007 seeming to defy the drops all the others are going through. This is the clydesdale horse, the lead dog, the one that bucks the trend. Or it's the single worst idea we've had in a long time. "Bought" at $34.96 with a 52-week low of $18.87, we've got a LONG way to fall if it comes to that. As of this post, NOK is $34.97 – a one penny gain times a hundred shares. We got a BUCK!
Totally by accident, we found Washington Mutual's stock. ROCK SOLID for five years and when the housing market fell, down came WM and it came down HARD. Really hard. Previous averages stood around $45 to $50 bucks. We bought in at $14.63 with 52-week lows reported at $10.73. Today, $13.59. Not all bad. Coincidence? The day after we picked WM to ride back up to $45 bucks (please), a purchase of WM by Bank of America was announced making Bank of America the biggest bank of all. No details were provided about how to shake off the billions of dollars in lending losses, but we've got some time….

Have Mercedes Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Pete, the cradle is the Mercedes part B67875877 which is a bluetooth cradle adaptor. It slots into the armrest instead of the original cradle B67875846 which was for a Nokia 6230. I got the new cradle adaptor added by MB Hertford instead of the cradle the car came with. The car was factory pre wired and fitted with the Nok,ia cradle.
To double check after I emailed you I swapped and put the old cradle back in, this worked fine before too but doesn't work either now. The problem can't be anything to do with bluetooth, the phones are connecting with the cradle as it says it is paired on the phone. The problem must be between the cradle and the comand.
The phone, udsing the bluetooth cradle worked fine yesterday morning but when I got back in the car the 'no phone' message came up, nothing happened other than I got out of the car, locked it then unlocked and got back in. Hard to see how the wiring failed in between times. The only other rthing is my wife said when she was using the car last Friday there was a constant quite loud clicking, like a relay or solenoid noise coming from around the back of the glovebox but when she drove back home it had stopped so she couldn't get me to listen to it. Everything was still working fine though at that point.

The four resources model, Aboriginal students and cultural and school literacies
Phillips, Jean & Healy, Annah H. (2004) The four resources model, Aboriginal students and cultural and school literacies. In Healy, Annah & Honan, Eileen (Eds.) Text Next: New resources for literacy learning. Primary English Teachers Association, Newtown, New South Wales, pp. 85-100.
In this chapter, the authors, Jean Phillips and Annah Healy, discuss a scenario involving Freda, a seven-year-old Aboriginal girl in a multicultural urban Year Three classroom. freda seems to be at odds with the literacy education practices in her classroom. Despite Freda being a bright and popular student who is 'verbally' willing to share a wealth of experience, she appears to resist traditional literacy based activities. Freda's life-world is a mix of holidays spent in far-north Queensland and school terms in Brisbane, where she interacts with her Aboriginal family and people from Western culture, in and out of the classroom. Here we discuss the ease with which Freda takes up the four resources in contexts that she understands and manages, and conversely, her unwillingness to do so in contexts where she struggles to make sense of the literacy goals set for her by the teacher.

As a "chemical antibody", oligonucleotide aptamers can specifically bind to their target molecules. However, clinical potential of aptamers in disease diagnosis is not yet fully explored. Using a tumor cell-based selection protocol, we developed single-stranded DNA aptamers for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) tumor cells. The aptamers specifically bound to HL cells with a high affinity, reaching maximal cell binding at 10 nM final concentration. Importantly, the aptamers were able to selectively detect HL cells and did not react to other tumor or blood cells in mixed samples, indicating that the aptamers can be used as a specific probe for
Clinical management of lymphoma is highly dependent on classification and grouping of lymphoma based on the morphology and immunophenotyping [
Aptamers have high specificity and affinity towards their target and have been generated for any given molecular target ranging from small molecules, such as ions, drugs, and toxins, to large molecules, such as peptides, proteins, and even whole cells, bacteria, and viruses [
Polymerase chain reaction was developed in 1983 and the first aptamers were reported in 1990 [
Aptamers have also been used for phenotyping cells. We have demonstrated in our previous studies that CD4 and CD30 aptamers can be used for immunophenotyping cells [
HDLM2 and KM-H2 (Hodgkin lymphoma), Karpas-299 (K299) and SU-DHL-1 (anaplastic large cell lymphoma), U937 (histiocytic lymphoma), Jeko-1 (B-cell lymphoma), Maver-1 (mantle cell lymphoma), CA46 (Burkitt lymphoma), K562 (chronic myeloid leukemia), HL60 (acute promyelocytic leukemia), Jurkat and H9 (T-cell lymphoma), MM1S (multiple myeloma), and LNCAP (prostate adenocarcinoma) cell-lines were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI)-1640 medium; a SKBR3 (breast adenocarcinoma) cell line was cultured in McCoy's 5a modified medium; and a HEK293 (human embryonic kidney) cell-line was cultured in Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) medium. The media were supplemented with heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY, USA) and 100 IU/mL penicillin-streptomycin, and were incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. All of the cell lines were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA).
Dulbecco's PBS (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) enriched with 4.5 g/L glucose and 5 mM MgCl2 was used as washing buffer during selection and flow cytometry assays. Binding buffer comprised of washing buffer containing 1 mg/mL BSA (Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) and 0.1 mg/mL t-RNA was used to reduce nonspecific background binding.
The ssDNA library for SELEX contained a random core of 30 mer flanked with an 18 mer primer binding region on both sides. A biotinylated reverse primer 5′- GTC AAC CGA ATG CGT CAG -3′ was used to generate single-stranded DNA, and a fluorophore (either FITC or Cy5)-labeled forward primer 5′- TAC CAG TGC GAT GCT CAG -3′ was used to monitor the progress of aptamer selection. The primers were designed with OligAnalyzer® software from IDT Technologies. The aptamer pools were PCR amplified with Taq polymerase and PCR reagents from Takara Bio (Mountain View, CA, USA).
CD30-positive HDLM2 cells were counted with a hemacytometer and two million cells were washed with PBS, centrifuged at 270 g, and used for SELEX. The cells were incubated with a DNA library, which was rapidly cooled on ice after heating at 95 °C for 5 min. Selection was initiated with a 250 nM ssDNA library that showed a similar preference for CD30-positive cells, including HL cell line HDLM2 and ALCL cells (K299) from a previous selection [
Pools 13 and 16 were tagged with the multiplex identifier primers for next-generation sequencing. Fusion PCR was performed with Ion Torrent Primers; primer A was fused with the SELEX forward primer and the Ion torrent primer trP1 was fused to the SELEX reverse primer. After optimization of fusion PCR, the products were purified by size separation using TBE-urea gels, recovered using Gen-Elute PCR purification kits from Sigma, and sequenced using the Ion-Torrent sequencing platform. Analysis of NGS data was performed using MAFFT alignment software [
The aptamer pools were tested using 200 nM of the enriched pool to monitor SELEX. One-half million HL HDLM2 cells were washed with PBS, incubated in a 100 μL binding buffer for 1 h, washed with 5× volume of washing buffer, and then re-suspended in 250 μL binding buffer. Ten thousand cells were counted on a BD Fortessa flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson Immunocytometry Systems, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The fluorescence readouts represented the affinity of the fluorophore-labeled pools towards the HHLM2 cells. Similarly, different lymphoma cells were used for flow binding assay. After the generation of aptamers, FITC-labeled aptamers were used for characterization using different types of lymphoma and non-lymphoma cancer cell lines. The apparent dissociation constants (app Kds) were measured by flow cytometry using a series dilution of the aptamers that was incubated and analyzed on the flow cytometer.
Competition experiments were performed by using one unlabeled aptamer, PS1 or the truncated aptamer PS1NP shortened by the removal of primer sites, in excess (10×). Competition of PS1 and PS1NP aptamers with CD30 aptamer C2NP and CD30 antibody was done in presence of excess unlabeled aptamers. The experiment was performed by incubating unlabeled C2NP in 10× excess with Cy3-labeled PS1 or PS1NP for 1 h. PE-labeled CD30 antibody was used to compete with unlabeled PS1 and PS1NP.
One microgram of DNA aptamers was incubated with human serum for 0, 2, 8, and 24 h. These samples were subjected to the standard phenol-chloroform DNA extraction protocol and the recovered and digested aptamers were visualized on a 5% agarose (TBE) gel. Fluorescence was quantified using the densitometry tool in the Bio-Rad Image Lab software.
Target HDLM2 cells were mixed with non-target U937 cells and incubated with 5 nM of Cy3-labeled aptamers for 1 h, washed with 5× washing buffer, and tested on a flow cytometer. Specific binding of 5 nM of aptamers was also tested by addition of HDLM2 cells with CD30-positive K562 cells. Similarly, HDLM2 cells were mixed with whole blood and tested with 5 nM of aptamers PS1 and PS1NP with flow binding assays for specific detection of HL cells in whole blood.
Imaging was performed using an Olympus epifluorescence microscope (Olympus America, Center Valley, PA, USA). HDLM2 cells, U937 cells, and a mixture of HDLM2 cells and U937 control cells were incubated with 100 nM of Cy3-labelled aptamer PS1 for 1 h, and then washed with 5× washing buffer and resuspended in 100 μL binding buffer for imaging.
Standard deviation is represented by error bars in the graphs showing the binding affinity experiments which used the average of the readings from two different experiments in duplicate. The graphs were plotted using MS-Excel 2010, and the integral Solver toolpack was used for data analysis.
Lymphomas are classified as Hodgkin (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Most HL originate from germinal center B-cells and a rarely from T-cells [
Next-generation sequencing was used to sequence different pools tagged with an identifier sequence. Among the aptamer sequences, sequence PS1 (
To rule out potential adverse effects of sequence shortening, specificity of aptamer PS1NP was validated by cell-binding analysis along with the ssDNA aptamer PS1. Both the full length and the trimmed sequence were synthesized with their 5′ end conjugated with a Cy3 fluorescent reporter. The aptamer probes were incubated with cultured HL tumor cells (HDLM2 and KMH2), ALCL tumor cells (K299 and SUDHL1), other lymphoma cells (U937, H9, Jurkat, CA-46, Maver-1, and Jeko-1), and other tumor cell lines (K562, MM1S, HL-60, SKBR3, LNCAP, and HEK293). After treatment for 1 h at room temperature, resultant cell binding of aptamers was quantified by flow cytometry analysis. As shown in
In addition, cell-binding affinity of aptamers was analyzed using a series dilution. Flow cytometry dose course assays revealed that aptamer PS1 had a high binding affinity and an apparent Kd of 5 nM ± 0.5 nM. The short aptamer PS1NP reached its maximal binding affinity at 10 nM ± 0.6 nM, indicating a slight loss of affinity due to the truncation when compared with the full-length aptamer (
Although aptamer PS1NP is a derivative sequence of PS1 and has a similar secondary structure, there is a possibility that they may compete to bind the same epitope of the target protein. A competition experiment between PS1 and PS1NP was performed which revealed that the PS1 and PS1NP did not compete with each other, implying that they may bind to different epitopes of their target protein (
Flow cytometry analysis revealed that both PS1 and PS1NP specifically bound to CD30-expressing cells HDLM2 and K299, but not to other CD30-expressing K562 and H9 cell lines, indicating a CD30-independent target protein expressed on the cell surface. Multiple competition assays with CD30 aptamer and antibody were performed to rule out the possibility of CD30 as the target of aptamer PS1 and PS1NP. Flow cytometry analysis of the competition experiment, with simultaneous incubation of HDLM2 cells with 10-fold excess unlabeled CD30 aptamer C2NP and Cy3-labeled PS1 or PS1NP, revealed that the presence of unlabeled aptamer C2NP did not have any effect on the binding of either PS1 or PS1NP aptamer (
Multiparametric flow cytometry is routinely used to immunophenotype various hematological malignancies, including HL [
Furthermore, to test potential clinical use, cultured HDLM2 cells were diluted into fresh human whole blood isolated from normal donors. The tumor cell/whole blood mixture was double-stained with anti-CD45 antibody and 5 nM aptamer PS1. As shown in
Aptamers have been used for various applications, such as a molecular recognition element for different analytes, as diagnostics and therapeutics, for biomarker detection and validation,

Man Finds $500,000 Worth of Gold In Storage Unit
You dream about it all the time in one way, shape or form – having a pile of money fall right into your lap. Perhaps winning the lottery, finding a pirate's treasure chest in your back yard or maybe finding a copy of the Declaration of Independence at a flea market. We all dream of it. Well, for one lucky man, this dream came true when he purchased an abandoned storage unit and found a fortune inside.
In a scene reminiscent of A&E's TV show Storage Wars, a man from San Jose went to Contra Costa County and placed a bid on an abandoned storage unit. In California, once a storage unit has not been paid on for three months, the unit's contents become available for public auction. Bidders can not rummage through the contents, but they are allowed a quick peak from afar. The man who wishes to remain anonymous at this time, plopped down $1,100 for a unit. Inside? How about a half of a million dollars worth of Spanish gold coins!?
The $500,000 worth of gold coins were placed inside of a Rubber Maid bin according to the article . Liveacutioneers.com's Auction House PR states "According to sources the treasure was reviewed by an expert who described it as "Spanish gold" and believed that the coins dated to sometime between the 16th and 19th century."
Just imagine finding these coins stashed in a bin like that. This NEVER happens to ol' Monte. NEVER! What about you? Do you have any hidden treasure stories?

Public servants at the Financial Services Authority have overwhelmingly rejected a pay offer made in line with the Abbot government's hardline wage policies.
The 470 AFSA public servants voted by a landslide 82 per cent to reject a "complicated" wage offer of about 1.3 per cent per year that came with many cuts to conditions and entitlements to pay for the wage rises.
The ballot comes in the wake of bureaucrats in the Employment Department rejecting, by an overwhelming margin of 19-to-1 a pay offer of 1.4 per cent over three years.
The Australian Financial Services Authority's Chief Operating Officer Gavin McCosker told workers on Thursday morning that management and unions would be "back to the negotiating table" in 2015.
"A no vote means we go back to the negotiating table in 2015," Mr McCosker said in a message to workers.
"In the meantime, our current enterprise agreement stays in place."
The offer to AFSA's 470 staffers came with cuts to personal and carer's leave, redundancy provisions, flex-time, overtime entitlements and career progression arrangements.
CPSU union official Alistair Waters said he and his colleagues had mounted a "frenetic" campaign against the package after the offer was rushed out last week.
"Staff could see there was a lot more being taken away than was being offered," the union's deputy national secretary said.
Mr Waters said he believed the emphatic no-vote reflected the depth of feeling against the government's bargaining polices which bans any payrises that are not offset by cuts to conditions or entitlements.
"In my career that's the third or the fourth highest no-vote I've seen," the union official said.
"And it's not like AFSA is an industrially militant area, by any stretch of the imagination.
"Public sector staff see through a position from the government that requires them to give up an awful lot more than is being offered."

LARAMIE, Wyo. - With a limited number of meets remaining before the Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships, the Wyoming teams split into three groups heading to Seattle, Colorado Springs and Albuquerque this weekend.
Most of the team will head to the Air Force Team Challenge in Colorado Springs, Colo., for competition on Saturday. Select sprinters and distance runners will compete at the Husky Classic in Seattle, Wash., Friday and Saturday, while throwers Mason Finley, Mark Sparks, Dalton Sybrant, Shreese Daniels and Mollie Dahl will head to the Don Kirby Elite Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M., on Friday.
"The plan is to get better each week," said Wyoming coach Bryan Berryhill. "We'll need to bring a little more emotion than we did this past week and show more passion in each of our events. For most, it's their last chance to really prepare for the MW Championships that are in a couple of weeks and to get themselves on the conference list."
Several UW athletes were successful last weekend at the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Neb.
In her first pentathlon, junior Jenna Mann broke UW's all-time point total for the multi-event as she earned 3,566 points for seventh place, topping Britney Jackson's mark of 3,388 from the 2010 season. En route to the total, she earned a personal-best shot put distance of 34'10" and placed fourth in the 60-meter hurdles.
Senior Brandon Douglass broke his own UW school record time in the 60-meter hurdles, earning an 8.02 Saturday to beat his former best of 8.05 set at the Air Force Invitational in January.
