Choose Your Own Adventure' at IE
Madrid-based IE Business School is overhauling its portfolio of part-time degree programs to offer students greater flexibility in how often they take classes, where and with whom.
(IE Business School Program combinations for part-time M.B.A. and part-time executive M.B.A. students under the new plan.)
To do so, the school is trimming its part-time catalog from 12 degrees, including M.B.A.s and specialized masters degrees, to just two: the Global M.B.A.+ and the Executive M.B.A.+.
Beginning in the fall semester, students will be able to mix and match online and in-person course formats, choose how often their classes meet and opt for English or Spanish instruction. In all, there will be about 90 unique course combinations.
"Recruiters and corporate sponsors are questioning the one-size-fits-all programs as they seek to develop and recruit experienced talent for specific organizational needs," said David Bach, a strategy professor and dean of programs at IE....

"Flawlessly written, and in my opinion a work of art..." - Girly Girl Book Reviews
"This book was fantastic. It was steamy, funny, romantic, and just about any other emotion you can think of..." –Steamy Book Mama
This is a beautiful love story between two people who weren't ever supposed to be together. The story moved along and didn't drag at all... Great read for those who love historical romance, and even if you don't, I say try this series.

There's a frog in a lot of throats across the country as news has circulated that Kermit the Frog is getting a new voice.
ABC News and The Hollywood Reporter report that Steve Whitmire has left his role giving life to the iconic green Muppet. Whitmire has voiced and made the character move since Muppets creator Jim Henson's death in 1990.
A Muppets Studio spokeswoman told the outlets that longtime Muppets performer Matt Vogel will be taking over the role. Vogel has voiced such characters as Big Bird, Robin the Frog and The Count.
Joe Hennes, the co-owner, senior contributor and editor of ToughPigs.com , a website for Muppet fans, said...

Should You Learn to Code?
What's in the book?
- Does Everybody Really Need to Program?
- Please Learn to Think About Abstractions
- Learn to Code, Not Be a Pro Dev
- Why Doctors Should Learn to Code
- Why I Desperately Needed to Learn to Code
- And More!
On May 15, 2012 Jeff Atwood (co-founder of Stack Overflow) published a blog post titled "Please Don't Learn to Code" in response to Mayor Mike Bloomberg's resolution to learn how to code in 2012. In that post he argues against "learning to code just for the sake of learning how to code," a sentiment that sparked an active online debate.
This book is a compilation of several different perspectives on that debate.
Should programming be taught to every student as part of their core curriculum, similar to mathematics, reading, and writing?
Should every working professional take time to learn a programming language, even if their profession isn't obviously related to technology?
Those are questions we each ultimately need to answer for ourselves. But for anyone who does decide to learn programming, there's an ever-growing collection of free online resources designed to teach programming concepts and to walk newcomers through their first projects.
These are exciting times! We hope you enjoy this compilation.

Women's History Guides
Elementary Grades
1) "Maternal Oral History" Programming
Overnight or over several class periods to include student presentations.

- Ask questions, relay learned information, improve art skills, and artifact collecting to illustrate how historians use unconventional methods to research women's history.
- The student will interview their parents/guardians about their family's maternal history. For example, they can ask about the life of their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, or other family members. They can ask about the historical ear, events, movements, and social trends that female family members have been involved in.
- Students will collaborate in pairs during class time to compose a list of questions they would like to ask.
- Students will write the questions down on paper.
- During the interview, the students should be encouraged to write down their interviewee's responses, however parents/guardians may aid in writing down answers.
- Students will ask for historical "artifacts" that they can use for a class presentation ("show and tell") that will help describe their interviewee's history.
2) "Maternal Heritage Share and Tell" Programming
As decided by the instructor.
The purpose of this unit on women's history is to provide experiences and activities to increase students' understanding of women's history as it relates to his/her own family.
The students will be able to:
- Conduct an oral presentation.
- Demonstrate their understanding of women's history.
- Research family history as it relates to women's history in his/her family.
- Organize visual artifacts to illustrate the unconventional methodology that historians use when researching social history.
- Students will gather pictures that represent the women in their family and the women's life experiences from sources that are disposable such as newspapers, magazines, and newsletters.
- Students can copy photographs to demonstrate the necessity to duplicate historical artifacts to conserve original collections.
- Students will organize their pictures into a collage and orally present their contents to their class as it relates to women in their family and how they have impacted their local community, region, or nation.
- Students should be encouraged to use artifacts as they relate to the person they are discussing in class. The artifacts must be appropriate to the classroom environment (prior teacher approval may be necessary).
3) "Maternal Family Tree" Programming
One to two weeks (can coincide with other lessons).
The purpose of this unit is for students to trace their maternal lineage and develop a better understanding of women in their family as it relates to United States or world history.
The students will be able to:
- Effectively Communicate with their parents
- Demonstrate and practice writing skills
- Demonstrate their ability to present information orally (communicate).
- Demonstrate an understanding of diversity awareness.
- Illustrate the person they are describing.
- Create a family tree and understand the definition of genealogy.
- Demonstrate research skills and artistic skills.
- Students will ask their parents about their maternal lineage, parents should write the information down if the student is very young, older students should be able to document the information they are given.
- If the student is first generation American, use this as an opportunity to show diversity in the classroom and that we are all Americans regardless of how long our ancestors have been here.
- Students should ask who is in their maternal family tree, when they were born, where they were born, during what historical era they lived (Civil War, WWI, Depression, WWII, the Sixties, Counter-Culture, etc.), and when they died-if it is relevant.
- Students should illustrate how they think their maternal family tree should look and assign each maternal member a unique branch in their illustration.
- Illustrations or images should reflect the person they are describing.
- Students should turn in their trees for display in the classroom during Women's History Month.

Things could have veered badly in "We Bought a Zoo," but thefilm enjoys an advantage: Cameron Crowe knows what he's doing.
The writer-director of "Say Anything," "Jerry Maguire" and "Almost Famous" is known for extending a premise beyond its potential with strong dialogue and an understanding of collective audience emotion. Crowe, who grew up in San Diego, tackles his first PG-rated film with "We Bought a Zoo," brave in that it isn't easy for filmmakers to fully engage an audience at that thematic level, beyond animation, though it's sometimes done.
Crowe manages to do just fine with "We Bought a Zoo" by creating a family film with maturity, depth, humor and emotional resonance. The film is based on a book by a British author who lived this experience, or close.
Matt Damon plays Benjamin, a Los Angeles journalist who ishaving trouble coping after his wife dies. So is his teen son, whohas trouble in school and beyond. Benjamin makes a risky change,quitting his job and moving his son and precocious daughter to anunlikely place ---- a house on the property of a small private zooopen to the public. The zoo is actually closed after some troublewith the previous owner, but the zoo staff is still present, alikable if vaguely eccentric bunch, led by talented zookeeperKelly, played by Scarlett Johansson.
Against odds, and despite frequent setbacks, the family trio and the dedicated staff work to open the zoo again. It's a road filled with obstacles, as well as lions, monkeys and miscellaneous dung, but it's also a road lined with hope and renewal for all involved.
"We Bought a Zoo" is an elevated family film, not flawless but benefiting from Crowe's way with words and momentum. By the time he has taken several of the characters on special personal journeys, we know we've seen something that goes beyond a wacky animal yarn. The film lands as something necessarily simple, but also well realized. It's a place where realistic sentiment meets manic barnyard meets genuine family dynamics, a place where loss is interrupted and healed a little in humorous, heartfelt ways.

Celebrating 20 years service to Seagull owners,
Sept 1994 to 2014.
(And another 10 years unofficially before that!)
You are looking at one of the first
ever websites, 1992!
how we have grown since then....
But check prices of spares against my
prices, bet I am cheaper!
I do not sell on Ebay,
but I have just about every part here and cheaper than most!
mail me on
with a wish list and I will give you prices.
Sorry not working at the moment, enticing them
back shortly! More bread needed...
To see what
John got up to for 2 months during summer 2013 you can read his trip log
here. In 2017 I hope to complete the circumnavigation postponed
in 2016 whist I got my kidney stones sorted... and the log
will be active again.
As last time, will be good to meet up with
a few customers!
If I am not answering the phone, this might give you a clue to where I might be!

One of college hockey's best brawls turns 30 (and involved a Rochester player)
Posted by: Feldman
I was 6 when The Water Bottle Game happened.
If you haven't heard of The Water Bottle Game, that's OK. It means you're not a fan of Wisconsin or North Dakota when it comes to college hockey. But, if you are a fan of either of those teams, and you're my age (36) or older, you had better remember TWBG.
Here's a link to a story in the Grand Forks Herald, which goes into great detail about the event. If you can't read the story (I believe you need to sign up with a username), we'll sum it up below.
Also, here's a YouTube video of the incident. I believe the action kicks in about 30 seconds into the clip.
The backstory: UND and Wisconsin were, and still are, heated rivals in the 1980s. The teams first played in 1968. UND won national championships in 1980 and 1982. Wisconsin won in 1981 and 1983.
In a regular season game at Dane County Coliseum in Madison, nearly 30 years ago today (it'll be 30 years on Monday), Wisconsin's John Newberry squired NoDak's Cary Eades (a current UND assistant coach) twice in the face with a water bottle as Eades skated by the Badgers' bench.
After the second squirt, Eades walked onto Wisconsin's bench and put his stick up near Newberry's throat. Wisconsin's Pat Ethier saw Eades confront Newberry, and Ethier ran down the bench and punched Eades. That punch set off the brawl.
The brawl spilled down the tunnel, into the beer gardens, and eventually involved fans and police.
A fact that I didn't know from that brawl appears in the Grand Forks Herald story: "At the end of the brawl, Wisconsin's Todd Lecy started launching UND's abandoned equipment — gloves and sticks — into the stands."
Yep, Todd Lecy, who won a state high school championship at JM four years before this brawl.
No surprise to anyone who watched college hockey back then, UND's Jim Archibald re-ignited the brawl, running back to the ice from the beer gardens and throwing a haymaker at a Wisconsin player that eventually earned him a five-game suspension.
Archibald is now the head hockey coach at Brainerd High School; his team won the Kiwanis Festival here in Rochester in 2009 and 2010. In passing, I mentioned The Water Bottle Game to Archibald last year, hoping he'd let the story flow from his perspective. He just smiled.
This isn't condoning fighting, certainly not condoning a bench-clearing brawl. It's just pointing out an incident that Wisconsin and UND fans still laugh about.

I'd love to say I expect the Sixers to bounce back in a huge way tonight against Denver, but I just don't see it happening. That's not to say it's impossible, but Denver is a very, very good team, thanks to one player, Chauncey Billups.
Of all the players who have changed teams over the past 12 months, none has had a greater effect than Billups, and his presence has boosted just about everyone on the team. Imagine what the Nuggets would be like if they hadn't sold Marcus Camby over the summer.
After the jump we'll do a brief pregame and then the in-game discussion, of course.
Kate Fagan pegged J.R. Smith's contribution as the key to the game in her preview. Personally, I think this game is going to hinge on Nene. The last time these teams met, Nene has 13 points, 12 boards and soundly out-played Dalembert in the middle. If Sammy can't contain Nene, and most importantly, keep him off the offensive glass, it's going to be a long night.
Smith, Billups and Melo are all shooting well-above league average from three and none of them are shy about heaving bombs. That's something to keep an eye on. Denver doesn't do a great job of taking care of the ball and they are prone to foul, so an aggressive style on both ends of the floor could swing the odds back in the Sixers' direction.
Last night I had a key to the game for the Sixers of scoring 100 points against Indy. They fell woefully short, so tonight I'm going to pick something much simpler. I don't care how many bad shots Lou Williams takes. I don't care how many stupid decisions he makes. I only want to see Lou overcome one demon tonight. I want him to go the entire game without jumping in the air to make a pass. Just work on that one, Lou, then we'll build from there.
Interesting statistical note about the Nuggets. Carmelo Anthony is fifth on the team in win shares. He trailed Nene (who leads the team), Billups, Kenyon Martin and the Bird Man, Chris Andersen. I thought he was actually playing better this season.
Tip is at 7 p.m., join me in the comments, I'll be watching live.

Pennsylvania rakes in more from slot machines in 2012
The state's 11 casinos won $2.47 billion on slot machines last year, the sixth consecutive year revenue has increased, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board announced on Thursday.
The increase was 2.7 percent over 2011, or about $65 million.
Pennsylvania's 55 percent tax on slot machines earnings brought the state more than $1.3 billion.
William H. Ryan Jr., the board's chairman, said revenue has been strong despite casinos that have opened or expanded operations in Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, West Virginia and elsewhere.
Ryan said the industry employs 16,000 people statewide, supports economic development projects and provides property tax relief.
Critics have said gambling revenue has not produced the level of property tax rebates that state politicians promised when they voted to legalize casino gambling in 2004. Property owners, on average, receive about a $200 discount on their annual tax bills.
Rivers Casino, Pittsburgh's only casino, ranked third in slot machine revenue with $282 million, a 2.35 percent increase over 2011. Parx Casino in Philadelphia and Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem held the No. 1 and 2 spots, respectively.
The Meadows Racetrack & Casino in North Strabane ranked fifth statewide with $249 million. Its slots revenue was essentially flat compared with 2011.

Child survival at the heart of Tour du Burkina Faso
By Modeste YAMEOGO
Ouagadougou, 3 November 2010– The 24 edition of the Tour du Burkina Faso, which came to an end on 31 October 2010, was a great opportunity for UNICEF to communicate messages on child survival in Burkina Faso. More than four million Burkinabe were reached with these messages as the tour passed through the main towns. The Tour du Faso is a bicycle race which has been held in Burkina Faso since 1987. This year the Tour began on 22 October 2010 with the participation of 83 cyclists who cycled 1,318 kilometres through the towns and countryside. During the ten days, the cyclists were greeted at each stop by children, women and men who had come to enthusiastically welcome the first arrivals. Since the tour remains free in terms of accessibility and since it reaches nearly all the towns in the country, UNICEF ensured that there were messages on applying the six essential family practices during each of the ten stages of the event.
Activities, games and sketches were developed by a group of young comedians on exclusive breastfeeding, hand washing, use of insecticide treated mosquito nets, use of oral rehydration salts to treat diarrhoea, adequate complementary infant feeding and prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV. In addition certain specific topics were addressed in areas where the rights of children are not fulfilled, such as girls' education (Sahel region) and child labour (in areas where cotton is grown).
On giant placards were simple messages such as: school is mandatory for all children; all children should be immunized; wash your hands with soap; and sleep under mosquito nets. The animators for the Tour de Faso repeated these messages in favour of children to the crowds who lined the roadsides
UNICEF also facilitated the participation of children at this event. More than 30 children (boys and girls) were selected to take part in a closed circuit of five kilometres. Different prizes consisting of school bags, school stationary and bikes were awarded to the children. Parents and children alike were pleased with the activities. Salamata Sawadogo, a ten year-old girl who came first in the Kaya leg was overjoyed to receive her bicycle. "My mum was right to encourage me to participate in this Tour. Now on I have my own bike, I'm happy and would like to thank the organisers for including children in the Tour du Faso." A total of 300 children participated in the Tour du Faso.
This year's event was particularly special as it was honoured by the presence of an iconic figure in international cycling figure. Eddy Merckx, real name Edouard Louis Joseph (Eddy),and a citizen of Belgium accepted to be the patron for the children who were taking part in Tour du Faso for the first time. He too appreciated UNICEF's participation, "UNICEF has passed on good messages in favour of children throughout all legs of the Tour. I am very happy and hope that the children who participated in these competitions will be the great champions of tomorrow," he said.
"With thousands of people of all ages, in particular an impressive number of young people and children who gathered to see the cyclists and greet them at the various meeting points, UNICEF has had an excellent opportunity to pass on important messages on the survival and development of children," stated Hervé Peries, UNICEF Representative in Burkina Faso.

With a view to understand the maximum limit on the airplane Oswald's efficiency factor eo in the quadratic represent on of the Drag Polar, an analytical expression for eon has been derived in terms of the ratio of the horizontal tail lift-coefficient to wing lift coefficient. Maximising eo with respect to this ratio shows that (e o )max is a strong function of the tail span to wing span ratio. It is observed that for reasonably high values of this span ratio (e0 ) max could exceed values of unity.13;

"We are aware of the situation with Tarell (Brown) and Tyrell (Gatewood) and have met with both of them," head coach Mack Brown said in a statement. "We're working closely with the young men and the authorities. At this time, we are holding them out of all team functions as we gather as much information as possible before making a team decision."
The three were arrested at approximately 2:48 a.m. Monday in the 7700 block of Interstate 35, according to a Sheriff's Office press release. From a report on ESPN.com:
According to the Probable Cause Affidavit, the arresting officer pulled over a white 2003 Mercury driven by Harris after the car swerved in and out of lanes on a highway a few minutes before 3 a.m. CT. Brown and a second passenger were both asleep in the car.
After Harris passed field sobriety tests administered to test whether he was intoxicated, he told one of the officers on the scene that he had been smoking marijuana and admitted that there was "some" marijuana in the car.
As police officers approached the vehicle, one of them noticed a handgun on the lap of the sleeping passenger in the back seat, who was later identified as Brown. Police later confirmed that the gun was a loaded 9mm handgun.
Police also located a marijuana "blunt" cigar under the front seat of the vehicle weighing approximately 1.1 grams, as well as an additional 0.7 grams of marijuana in Harris' front pocket.
From a report on KXAN.com:
Brown's attorney, Jamie Balagia released the following statement to us on Monday:
"It is my understanding that Aaron Harris was in actual (pants pocket) possession of a small amount of marijuana, and that Tarell Brown was merely a passenger in the vehicle. The weapon involved does not belong to, nor was it intentionally possessed by, Tarell. I will continue to update you as I learn more about the police version of arrest. There will be a video of the entire incident if the officer followed policy. I will be entering a plea of not guilty on behalf of Tarell Brown. Tarell is hopeful that this matter can be handled quickly so that he can concentrate on his studies and the Buckeyes. Tarell is cooperating with the UT athletic department and appreciates the support he is receiving from family and friends."
The maximum punishment for the Class A offense is one year in the county jail and a $4,000 fine. The maximum penalty for the Class B misdemeanor is 180 days in the county jail and a $2,000 fine.
Brown is a two-year starter who has played in 36 career games. Gatewood, a fourth-year junior, is not listed among the three-deep in this week's Longhorn depth chart. He played 24 games at WR or on special teams in 2004-05. He moved to linebacker in the spring before transitioning to safety.

Kerry Washington's Emmy wedding

By Marchesa standards, it wasn't horrific. You know what horrific Marchesa looks like, right? Here. That should refresh your memory. Or see Malin Akerman. So, again, by Marchesa standards, it could have been worse. But… I don't want to talk about Kerry Washington, our beloved Kerry Washington, in those terms. Full Story
Best Dressed Kerry Washington
Kevin Winter /Getty Images
PEOPLE Magazine has named Kerry Washington the World's Best Dressed Woman. Gwyneth Paltrow was named the World's Most Beautiful Woman. That was polarising. Kerry's crowning should be more popular, non? At least among those who aren't white supremacists. As you know, Kerry Washington gets a lot of love here at LaineyGossip. Full Story
Kerry Washington Project Runway

She's in NY. She's a guest judge on Project Runway. Credentials? Please. Kerry Washington has more style than Heidi Klum ever could. EVER. COULD. And she's showing you this in these photos. That's a great outfit, non? But... I don't love this decision. I don't love it because I think she's better. Full Story
Kerry covers FLARE
Did you know Kerry Washington went to Spence, the same school in New York as Gwyneth Paltrow? We need to find a copy of those yearbooks. We need to write a show about this. About a girl like Kerry Washington at school with girls like Gwyneth Paltrow. Duana? I know you're reading. Because, of course, as we've noted several times before, we are Kerry Washington fangirls here at LaineyGossip and Duana is our Heather #1. Full Story
Kerry can sing
Wenn, Jason Merritt/ Getty
All of us here at LaineyGossip have been girlcrushing on Kerry Washington for months, Duana in particular. I should show you some of the emails she sends me: "Kerry said this!" "Kerry dropped a reference in an interview that no one else understand, because they hadn't read xxwhateverbookxxx. Full Story
Kerry marries
FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
Kerry Washington is our current jam here at LaineyGossip.com. Have you watched Scandal yet? Get on it! It was announced yesterday, just as her Vanity Fair cover feature was going wide, that Washington married football player Nnamdi Asomugha in Blaine County, Idaho on June 24. JUNE 24! That was two weeks ago! As I always say, you can keep your sh-t tight in Hollywood. Full Story
Kerry Washington covers Vanity Fair
Should it be such a big deal? Not necessarily. She's the star of a huge hit show that's only getting bigger, she's had other covers this spring, she's gorgeous…and it's been six years since a black woman was on the cover of Vanity Fair, longer since a black woman was on the cover by herself.

A Love Letter To My Favourites*
*Kerry Washington is my favourite of all the favourites It's not a "gossip gift" per se, but this potential drama nominees roundtable is the best gift I could have gotten. It's delicious. I know all these women, I watch all their shows – it feels strangely indulgent to have them all in the same room and saying things that they maybe shouldn't. Full Story
Kerry Washington's MET gloves
Dimitrios Kambouris/ Getty
Duana and I were discussing Kanye West's girlfriend's Givenchy, which I'm convinced was a private joke between Anna Wintour and Riccardo Tisci (I am not buying those pictures, you can see them somewhere else), and she posited that perhaps the only redeeming quality about that dress is that the gloves are built-in seamlessly.

Best Oscar Colour Chameleon: Kerry Washington
FREDERIC J. BROWN /Jason Merritt /Frazer Harrison /Kevork Djansezian /Michael Buckner /Kevin Winter /Getty Images
You know that saying? That when you dislike someone the way he holds his fork will annoy you, but if you like him and he throws his plate in your lap, you'll still like him? This is how I feel about Kerry Washington's dress. I love everything she puts on her body, this woman. Full Story
Best Globes Style: Kerry Washington
Alexandra Wyman/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
The issue, I think, with this dress in stills is that the chiffon kind of looks like it has a harsh edge. I felt that way and thought I didn't like the hem – but then when I saw it moving, when she came out onstage (did we know she was that wee?) and I fell in love with it. So sophisticated, so gorgeous, and most importantly, so easy. Full Story

4. Re: How calculate Avg Based On Month numberRobin Harris Oct 26, 2012 11:22 AM (in response to 962252)Can you use the CURRENT_MONTH repository variable?
This is the month in YYYY / MM format so you can substring this to get the month number.
For example dividing the Approved PO Quantity by the current month number would be:
"Fact"."Approved PO Quantity" / CAST(SUBSTRING(VALUEOF("CURRENT_MONTH") FROM 8 FOR 2) AS int)
So all you would need to do is substitute your fact column for "Fact"."Approved PO Quantity"

SQL Issued: SELECT CAST(SUBSTRING(VALUEOF("CURRENT_MONTH") FROM "Time"."Month" FOR 2)AS INT) FROM "Financial Accounts and Applications".
I will Check Current_month repository varible is working Fine.
6. Re: How calculate Avg Based On Month numberRobin Harris Oct 30, 2012 8:32 AM (in response to 962252)You need to specify a numeric for the 2nd parameter. The Substring function takes the parameters of source string, starting character and length of sub section. So in my example it will take the value of current_month variable and return the characters from the 8th postion for 2 characters (so character 8 and 9). So instead of passing "Time"."Month" you need to pass the literal number 8. So I think the actual code you need is:
SELECT "Financial Accounts and Applications"."Value" / CAST(SUBSTRING(VALUEOF("CURRENT_MONTH") FROM 8 FOR 2)AS INT) FROM "Financial Accounts and Applications"
NB I am assuming the value you want to divide by the current month number is called "Financial Accounts and Applications"."Value", please change this to be what ever column you need to use.
Please mark as useful/answered

VCC connect can definately sleep - a good example is drirvers/usb/misc/speedtch.c but there are probably other ones. My personal recommendations: * There should be a per-atm-device semaphore held across calls into the driver's ->open, ->close, ->change_qos and maybe a couple other things to serialize those operations (for the sake of keeping the drivers sane - there's no reason there should be multiple operations pending) * The ATM layer shouldn't need to keep any other sorts of locks across calls into atm_dev->open or such. To avoid race conditions the ATM code needs to: 1. Take whatever internal spinlock it needs 2. Add the itf/vpi/vci tuple to whatever datastructure we're holding the vcc list in - but mark it as "inactive" so we don't find it while others are searching the list. Obviously the open will fail if we find a matching tuple (whether or not it was active) 3. Drop the spinlock 4. Take the per-device semaphore 5. Call atmdev->open 6. Drop the per-device semaphore 7. Re-take the internal spinlock 8. If open succeeded now mark the vcc as "active". If the open failed just delete it 9. Drop the internal spinlock To do a close the method is similar: 1. Take the internal spinlock 2. Find the tuple, mark it as inactive 3. Drop the spinlock 4. Take the per-device semaphore 5. Call atmdev->close 6. Drop the per-device semaphore 7. Re-take the internal spinlock 8. Delete vcc from the list 9. Drop the internal spinlock Then ->open and ->close can sleep like they need to but won't block other accesses to the list in the mean time. * If ATM_ITF_ANY is a pain to fix it should just be removed - it's basically a misfeature and is probably never used by anybody. I've already posted a patch to linux-atm-general that basically does this (it changes "ATM_ITF_ANY" to mean "first interface we find") -Mitch

cross threaded steering rack threads
Hi guys, seriously stressed out at a mistake I have made while servicing the car.
I was flushing the steering rack and while doing so, I managed to cross thread the thread on the steering rack. I didnt realise this at the time but it became apparent later on. Anyway, what do I now do to rectify this problem?
One source says that the rack has to be renewed and all pipe work associated to the pipe work also has to be renewed. Is this true? The shrapnel that I would of got into the system cannot be that much. Can it really cause that much of a problem?
If so, would it not suffice to just have the threads rebuilt on the rack, get it flushed, remove all pipe work get it flushed and remove pump and get it flushed?
Please advise. Also a diy for removing the rack would also be great.
I would first attempt a tap and die set to try and get threads straight on hose and rack. If successful, and no leaks, BAM! Flush system before putting back together after test fit just in case of metal in the system. If it leaks a little after together. Remove fitting and place one round of plumbers tape on threads, reinstall.
Ive decided to take the rack off and get a hella coil fitted to the rack. Dont wanna cause anymore damage. There is a few ways of flushing the system, what would you suggest is the best way in my case

Through diet and exercise, I have gone from 48% body fat to 15% body fat. I am planning on a body lift over the summer, and had the goal of getting to 8% first (I'm a 34yo man, 6'0", muscular). Here's my question, I've been given estimates of a total weight loss of 20-30lbs during the surgery. How much of that is actual body fat, and how much is skin, connective tissue, etc.?
When Skin is Cut off During a Body Lift, How Much is Fat and How Much is Lean Body Mass?
Doctor Answers 5
What is a circumferential body lift?
Most plastic surgeons refer to a body lift as a circumferential body lift = belt lipectomy. This procedure is essentially 3 procedures in one: extended tummy tuck + waist/lateral thigh lift + buttock lift (with the option of buttock augmentation). So a body lift will not treat the upper medial thighs or inner thighs. Please visit with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to learn more about your options.

Lean Body Mass Versus Fat Removal In A Body Lift Surgery
Dear Plaidly,
In a body lift procedure, the only tissues removed are skin and fat. The muscles and other deep tissues are not removed.
Composition of Tissues Removed with Body Lift?
Thank you for the question.
During body lifting, skin, subcutaneous tissue and adipose tissue are excised. None of these tissues should be considered "lean body mass". I hope this helps.

Amount and weight of Skin and Fat removed in a Body Lift operation
I know of no Plastic surgery colleague who bases the amount of excess skin and fat removal on a pre-set weight reduction goal. Nor do surgeons analyze the removed excess trunk skin and fat for their exact component parts. Many people who decide to change their life style by eating healthier and exercising become focused and driven in this goal. While it changes ther lives for the better it really does not help us as Plastic surgeons. When encountering people who underwent large volume weight losses we work with them on planning the best path for them to get rid of the excess skin reminding them of their long gone bodies and help bring out their new bodies by removing all excess skin. The weight of the skin, it's fat composition is immaterial. As a service to you, your surgeon surgeon surgeon would gladly weigh and photograph the skin and fat removed from you, if you so wish.

IE 7 ++, FF, Chrome, Opera, Safari. Guess that's it. There was a debate about supporting IE7 which is not required as much as I'm concerned although I believe you should necessarily provide support for this browser also.

I'm thinking of partnership too. I am a developer but even though I can design I am not so sure that I would be able to design a theme on such high level as themeforest themes are. I can code them for sure though. But what I wonder about, if it's fair to split 50/50 with a designer as the design usually takes much less time than development (correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I see it)
That hugely depends on the fact if you already have some framework to start with. My first WP theme took me 4 months to build. The reason for this was lack of experience with wordpress and the desire to create something for all future themes to be built on. So, after releasing my first theme, the others have taken one week from me to build. In this stage, it becomes ok to share the revenue 50/50 with a designer as making a quality design takes as much time.
I have had webmoney before, it's mainly used in Russia. A quite secure system however it has his limitations so better go with paypal anyway.
Confirm! IE8 on PC running Windows 7, no problem detected. So, waiting for the release of your new theme
I am afraid you won't, as it's too specific for being released as a theme.
I use this one for dummy texts – http://fucklorem.com/ A really handy one.
Search for DirectoryPress on google. That's the most advanced system currently.
I guess you've forgotten to post the preview link. In addition, could you please leave some contact details?.
You are free to use any slider in your themes the license of which clearly allows you to do so. MIT /GPL licenses are perfect for such cases. The license of majority of sliders Like Nivo, Piecemaker, etc… allows you to use them in your themes. Basically from my experience 99% of free sliders come with such licenses. And about using own slider, look around, almost all authors use one or another popular plugin for the sliders. Hope this helps.

Type Section Information
The Dinwoody Formation was originally named for exposures along Dinwoody Canyon on the northeastern slope of the Wind River Mountains, near Dubois, Wyoming (Blackwelder, 1918). Newell and Kummel (1942) redefined the Dinwoody at the type locality as the dominantly silty strata between the Phosphoria Formation and the top of the resistant siltstone that was originally in the middle of the Dinwoody as defined by Blackwelder (1918).
Geologic Age
The Dinwoody Formation is Early Triassic (Sycthian) in age. It is overlain conformably in many sections by the Thaynes Formation and often overlies the Phosphoria Formation.
General Lithology
In northeastern Nevada, the Dinwoody Formation is dominantly fine-grained gray-brown massive to well bedded siltstone and minor amounts of conglomerate.
In the Snake Mountains, Gardner (1968) described the Dinwoody Formation as over 2,000 feet of massive, calcareous, greenish to brown or gray, siltstone and silty gray to olive shale with pyrite and carbonaceous matter, and thin interbeds of fine-grained, dark gray limestone with pelmatazoan columnals overlain by the Thaynes Formation. Bezerrides (1967) divided the Dinwoody into upper and lower members in the O'Neill Pass area of the Snake Mountains. The lower member is composed of 660 feet of conglomerate in lenticular beds one inch to 5 feet thick and as much as 50 feet thick. Clasts are well rounded to angular, chert, limestone, and siltstone that vary in size from pebbles to boulders up to 7 feet long and 4 feet wide. The conglomerates are all poorly sorted with local graded and scoured beds (Bezzerides, 1967). Siltstone beds up to 2 inches thick are interbedded with the conglomerate, and are locally rippled and cross-bedded and contain worm burrows. The upper member of the Dinwoody Formation is poorly exposed, massive to well bedded, laminated and crossbedded, gray siltstone which weathers to a gray-brown. Blocks of phosphorite and chert up to 12 feet in diameter locally float in the siltstone, and were probably derived from the underlying Phosphoria Formation (Bezzerides, 1967). Thin, black to blue-gray micritic limestone beds up to 10 feet in thickness are also present in the upper member, and grade into the overlying Thaynes Formation. The upper member is about 1,740 feet thick in the Snake Mountains (Bezzerides, 1967).
Small masses of cobble conglomerate mapped regionally as "marine conglomerate" by Coats (1985) in the Marys River Northeast and Wild Horse Quadrangles, and just south of the Jarbidge Wilderness are included here with the Dinwoody Formation. They are probably partially equivalent to the lower member mapped by Bezzerides (1967) in the O'Neill Pass area of the Snake Mountains. These rocks rest unconformably on upper Paleozoic sediments or western assemblage units. Thicknesses have not measured.
In the southern Pequop Range, the Dinwoody Formation is composed of a few hundred feet of olive-gray shale and interbedded red-brown weathering, chocolate-brown limestone (Snelson, 1955). In the Currie area, the Dinwoody is poorly exposed greenish-gray to olive, calcareous siltstone and shale with a 10 to 50 foot thick unit of dark-gray, medium grained, medium-bedded reddish-weathering fossiliferous limestone about 50 feet above the base of the formation.
In the Windermere Hills, the Dinwoody conformably overlies the Permian Carlin Canyon Formation and is composed of green silty argillite in beds 4 to 6 inches thick interbedded with dark brown-gray, platy argillaceous calcisiltite and gray to green-brown silty shale (Oversby, 1972).
Early Triassic rocks exposed in the Mount Velma Quadrangle (Coash, 1967) and East Humboldt Range (Snelson, 1957) are tentatively assigned to the Dinwoody Formation. In the Mount Velma Quadrangle, the Triassic is a folded and faulted sequence composed of pale green, light yellow-tan weathering, massive siltstone (Coash, 1967). A few thin beds of water lain tuff and limestone also appear to be interbedded with the sediments. The thickness of the sequence is estimated to be between several hundred and several thousand feet (Coats, 1985). In the southern portion of the East Humboldt Range, the Early Triassic rocks are composed of gray-brown limestone with intercalated shales, overlain by poorly exposed shale, siltstone and limestone (Snelson, 1957).
Early Triassic rocks exposed in the northeastern corner of Elko County along Long Canyon in the Dairy Valley Quadrangle are also tentatively assigned to the Dinwoody Formation in this report. R.A. Hope (in Coats, 1985) divided the section into an upper portion of tan and orange-weathering, platy siltstone and crosbedded, sandy and pure, gray to brown, orange weathering limestone, and a lower portion of platy, dark-gray, light gray-weathering laminated silty limestone with pelecypods. Our observations in this area concur with Hope with the addition of several thin brown-gray to green shaley interbeds near the base of the formation which were also noted by Clark (1957). Fossils of the Meekoceras zone were found in limestones about 412 feet above the underlying Permian rocks by Clark (1957).
Undifferentiated Triassic sediments mapped by H.F. Bonham (in Coats, 1985) in the Montello Canyon area of the Leach Range may include the Thaynes Formation, but are assigned tenatively here to the Dinwoody Formation. The section consists of over 2,000 feet of interbedded gray and green shale, and brown shaly limestone in the lower portion overlain by massive, well-bedded gray to brown-gray-weathering limestone with thin interbeds of shale. This section overlies the Permian Gerster Formation.
Average Thickness
The Dinwoody Formation is several hundred feet thick in the East Humboldt Range (Snelson, 1957), about 2,400 feet in the Snake Mountains (Bezzerides, 1967; Gardner, 1968), 2,200 feet in the Montello Canyon area of the Leach Range (Clark, 1957), 400 feet in the southern Pequop Mountains (Snelson, 1955), 300 feet in the Windermere Hills (Oversby, 1972), 560 feet in the Currie area (Nelson, 1956), and several hundred to several thousand feet in a faulted and folded section in the Mount Velma Quadrangle (Coats, 1985).
Areal Distribution
The Dinwoody is exposed within the Marys River Northeast and Wild Horse Quadrangles, just south of the Jarbidge Wilderness, Snake Mountains, Leach Range, Mount Velma Quadrangle, southern East Humboldt Range, southern Pequop Mountains, Windermere Hills, and Currie area.
Depositional Setting
The Dinwoody represents a complex of depositional environments that deposited continental red-beds, and quiet water shallow-shelf sediments on and bordering a broad and generally shallow marine shelf (Collinson and Hasenmueller, 1977). The presence of water lain tuff in some sections indicates local Triassic volcanism.

An important assumption of our current understanding of the mechanisms of carcinogenesis has been the belief that clarification of the cancer process would inevitably reveal some of the crucial mechanisms of normal human gene regulation. Since the momentous work of Bishop and Varmus, both the molecular and the biochemical processes underlying the events in the development of cancer have become increasingly clear. The identification of cellular signaling pathways and the role of protein kinases in the events leading to gene activation have been critical to our understanding not only of normal cellular gene control mechanisms, but also have clarified some of the important molecular and biochemical events occurring within a cancer cell. We now know that oncogenes are dysfunctional proto-oncogenes and that dysfunctional tumor suppressor genes contribute to the cancer process. Furthermore, Weinstein and others have hypothesized the phenomenon of oncogene addiction as a distinct characteristic of the malignant cell. It can be assumed that cancer cells, indeed, become dependent on such vital oncogenes. The products of these vital oncogenes, such as c-myc, may well be the Achilles heel by which targeted molecular therapy may lead to truly personalized cancer therapy. The remaining problem is the need to introduce relevant molecular diagnostic tests such as genome microarray analysis and proteomic methods, especially protein kinase identification arrays, for each individual patient. Genome wide association studies on cancers with gene analysis of single nucleotide and other mutations in functional proto-oncogenes will, hopefully, identify dysfunctional proto-oncogenes and allow the development of more specific targeted drugs directed against the protein products of these vital oncogenes. In 1984 Willis proposed a molecular and biochemical model for eukaryotic gene regulation suggesting how proto-oncogenes might function within the normal cell. That model predicted the existence of vital oncogenes and can now be used to hypothesize the biochemical and molecular mechanisms that drive the processes leading to disruption of the gene regulatory machinery, resulting in the transformation of normal cells into cancer.
In the beginning, we could only speculate about the mysterious and seemingly incomprehensible processes within the human cell that govern gene regulation. Furthermore, an understanding of the deregulation of a cell's normal gene regulation resulting in its transformation into a cancer was even more mysterious and challenging. We could only guess how a human gene is turned on or off. Our models of eukaryotic gene regulation consisted of vague diaphragms and marvelous, but nonspecific, terms that failed to reveal a unifying biochemical and molecular concept sufficient to explain how human genes are regulated, and how genomic deregulation becomes the pivotal event leading to carcinogenesis [
Peyton Rous discovered that he could induce tumor formation in chickens by cell-free extracts [
An incomprehensible amount of research has been achieved since the presentation of these central discoveries and concepts. The regulation of transcription by phosphorylation should be undisputed [
Weinstein has proposed an insightful theory about the peculiar characteristics of the dysfunctional genomic activities of the cancer cell [
Demonstrating the mere existence of vital oncogenes is insufficient for our complete understanding of the neoplastic process. A significant obstacle still would remain. How would these vital oncogenes usurp the crucial normal gene regulatory mechanisms? As stated earlier, commandeering the normal cell cycle control mechanisms is mandatory. Yet, these vital oncogenes would have to accomplish one other fundamental process. There has to be a mechanism that allows their control of the chromatin modification events that lead to gene transcription. There is evidence that binding site recognition by transcription activators is determined by chromatin context [
If vital oncogenes are indeed the true wardens of carcinogenesis, achieving their goals by usurping cell cycle control mechanisms and intruding upon the normal mechanisms of gene transcription that leads to an addictive dependence by cancer cells, then they shall become the Achilles heel that we have long sought after. They should become the target for the development of molecularly targeted cancer therapy. Yet, before such an idealistic world can exist, we must first develop the tools and methodology needed to identify and isolate the oncogenic protein products of these entities. Although it is clearly recognized that cancer is a genetic disease [
The final defeat of this disease will occur with the emergence of the practical applications of genomics and proteomics [
The multifaceted aspect of the applications of protein microarray technology belies its inevitable incomprehensibly important role in the future design and development of truly personalized targeted cancer therapy [
Although gene regulation in humans is complex, and much has been learned in the past two decades, the elementary theoretical foundation for understanding normal and abnormal human genome function has been previously presented [
The suggested general events that lead to normal gene transcription were described as follows:
Nuclear proto-oncogene protein kinases are activated by phosphorylation.
These phosphorylated activated protein kinases bind to recognition sites in the major groove of the DNA helix as it winds around the nucleosome core histones.
A series of phosphorylation reactions mediated by these nuclear phosphoproteins and facilitated by histone H1 phosphorylation result in the displacement of histone H1 away from the site of gene activation eventually allowing access by the transcription initiation complex.
The exposed DNA sequences are essentially promoter sites.
The phosphorylation reaction cascade includes recruitment and phosphorylation of either DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase.
The intact histone octamer that makes up the nucleosome core complex functions as a scaffold during gene activity. The model assigned a central role to nuclear phosphoproteins.
We now know that phosphorylation reactions are the foundation of the signal transduction pathways that ultimately target transcription activators, their coregulators, and associated chromatin-modifying factors, leading to their phosphorylation by protein kinases or dephosphorylation by protein phosphatases [
The transforming mechanisms for DNA tumor viruses have become increasingly evident also only recently. As will be discussed later for vital oncogenes, tumor viruses with dominant acting oncoproteins exert their effects by interacting with key cellular targets resulting in the disruption of the normal controlling constraints placed on cell replication and gene transcription. The SV-40 large T antigen interacts with Rb, p53 as well as the pp2A phosphatase during transformation [
Steroid hormone receptors and steroid hormone action have been the topic of intensive basic and clinical research for decades. This nuclear hormone receptor superfamily contains the receptors associated with not only steroid hormones, but thyroid, vitamin D, and retinoid hormones as well. Many are ligand associated regulatory proteins. In fact, it is now clear that they all function as nuclear receptors by directly interacting within the region of the DNA response elements of target genes. Among other events, we now know that some hormone receptors have the capacity to recruit coregulators and interact by cross-talking to other signaling pathways. Even more revealing is the presence of some of the unique characteristics we now typically attribute to the cell surface protein kinase receptors involved in signal transduction during uncontrolled cell proliferation. For example, nuclear hormone receptors undergo a conformational change following ligand banding. The activation process of nuclear hormone receptors also often involves a formation of homodimers or heterodimers, the functional molecule. Of note, the recruitment of coactivator complexes to the target promoter during gene transcription results in chromatin decompaction [
The continued validity of this phosphoprotein-driven model of the regulation of the eukaryotic genome should be based on the judgment of its relevance to what is currently known about the detailed biochemical and molecular aspects of human gene regulation, its testability, its compatibility with current knowledge, its predictive power, and its level of simplicity.
"A theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements: It must accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations [
A defect in the normal cell cycle control mechanisms is an essential component of carcinogenesis [
At least 11 mammalian CDKs have been identified [
The pRb tumor suppressor protein is the master break shoe preventing the progression of the cell completely through the G1 phase of the growth cycle and into the S phase [
One more crucial interaction remains. In the normal cell cycle both CDK2 and CDK 4/6 phosphorylate pRb which eliminates its inhibitory function on E2F and enhances its ability to stimulate DNA polymerase [
Unlike within the prokaryotic cell, within the eukaryotic cell the genome has bulk. It has structure. It has contour and conformation. This characteristic arises as a result of the presence of chromosomal proteins [
The compacted structure of heterochromatin and the loose open structure of euchromatin have been repeatedly studied, as well as the dynamic transformation of closed compacted DNA to a more open accessible state during transcription and DNA replication [
The phosphorylation of linker histone H1 achieves the regulation of gene expression by mimicking H1 removal from compacted chromatin, resulting in decondensation and promoter gene exposure to the transcriptional complex [
A vital oncogene must have certain fundamental characteristics. It must have a proven association with cancer. Its direct effect must occur within the nucleus. Its oncoprotein product must be a downstream target for any associated initiating protein kinase cascade. Its oncoprotein product must usurp or alter normal cell cycle control mechanisms. Finally, there should be clinical evidence of oncogene addiction. c-
Although c-
There has been a less than silent revolution in cancer care for more than sixty years, starting with the initial growth factor research by Levi-Montalcini and Cohen [
Cancer results from a deranged genome manifested by the commonly seen associated genetic defects, and evident in the resulting dysfunctional protein products of these defective genes that drive the cancer process. Advanced diagnostic techniques capable of detecting and reading genomic and proteomic information in an efficient, sensitive, and specific way will be the foundation upon which individualized cancer treatment will stand. Two evolving technologies will fulfill these criteria [
There also exists another potential footprint of vital oncogene activity. This will be evident within the aberrant and specific protein patterns detected by proteomic techniques [
Biochemical mechanisms in vital oncogene action. The oncoprotein products of vital oncogenes are the ultimate end targets of the cancer cell's signaling pathways. Their cellular activities occur within the nucleus.
Usurpation of cell cycle control and transcription by vital oncoproteins. The oncoprotein products of vital oncogenes could enhance the cyclin-dependent kinase phosphorylation activities resulting in phosphorylation of the Rb suppressor protein and histone H1.
Diagnostic approaches used to evaluate vital oncogene action.

The Netherlands and Argentina square off later Wednesday afternoon with a spot in the World Cup final on the line, and even though the two teams are separated by a vast expanse of ocean and have only met eight times previously (the Dutch lead the series, 4-1-3), they have a history. So here's a look at their previous World Cup meetings.
1974 World Cup
FIFA employed an interesting format in 1974, with 16 teams split into four groups for the first round, the top two teams from each group moving on to another round of group play in the second round and the winners of the two second-round groups meeting in the final. Heading in to their second round matchup, Argentina openly scoffed at the Netherlands' "Total Football" system, but the Dutch answered with a 4-0 whipping on their way to the final, where they would lose to host West Germany.
1978 World Cup
Argentina got its revenge four years later, defeating the Netherlands, 3-1, after extra time to win the World Cup on its home soil. Controversy swirled before and during the 1978 tournament. The Netherlands led a call to boycott the World Cup to protest human rights violations under Argentina's president, Gen. Jorge Rafael Videla, who had swept into power two years earlier. When the boycott failed to materialize, Holland star Johan Cruyff refused to play. Thirty years later, Cruyff revealed that his personal boycott wasn't for political reasons, but rather because his family was the subject of an attempted kidnapping one year earlier. Then, needing a four-goal win over Peru in its group-stage finale to advance, Argentina scored a 6-0 victory that was allegedly arranged by Videla. To top it all off, the Netherlands accused Argentina of stalling before the final began in order to build up the tension at River Plate stadium in Buenos Aires. Argentina also questioned the legality of a plaster cast on Rene van de Kerkhof's wrist, further roiling up the crowd.
1998 World Cup
The teams' most recent World Cup meeting took place during the 1998 quarterfinals in France and featured one of the more dramatic goals in World Cup history. With the score knotted at 1 late in the second half, the Netherlands' Frank de Boer lofted a gorgeous pass from beyond midfield that Dennis Bergkamp neatly corralled and sent into the top of the net in the 89th minute, giving Holland a 2-1 victory.
