More than $4.2M for Early Research Awards and research infrastructure
September 9, 2016
Danelle D'Alvise, Research Communications
David Harris Smith has a very real Early Researcher Award (ERA) from the government of Ontario, in recognition of the importance of his work with virtual environments.
Smith is one of four researchers awarded $140,000 each by the provincial government's Early Researcher Award program, which recognizes early career researchers for their potential to become world-class innovators.
Virtual Hamilton: A Virtual Environment for Participatory Urban Planning is Smith's project, one that will generate an enduring legacy for the City of Hamilton by helping to plan the city with -- and for -- its citizens.
In partnership with the City of Hamilton, Smith's goal is to integrate 3D visualization and interactive social media to create a virtual city model that will promote civic engagement in community development and participatory urban planning processes.
"The Virtual Hamilton project provides new ways for the City to engage our citizens in important urban planning issues," says Glen Norton, Manager of the Urban Renewal Section for the City of Hamilton. "This exciting and timely partnership with McMaster will help illustrate and tackle some of the challenges facing residents, businesses and services in areas that are rapidly changing, enabling all the stakeholders to 'see' what change might look like."
In addition to the four new ERAs, Ted McMeekin MPP for Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale, announced $3.72M for 16 projects awarded under the Ontario Research Fund's infrastructure program, which helps cover the costs of acquiring or renewing research equipment.
"Many of the researchers awarded funding today will now be able to upgrade and augment their current facilities with the latest equipment, while others will be creating new laboratories, developing novel technologies on our campus, or expanding their research teams," says Rob Baker, vice-president, research. "This will ultimately increase our research capacity, accelerate our research results and provide an enriched research-training environment for our students."
The twenty research projects funded by the ERA and ORF programs represent all six of McMaster's Faculties.
The Early Researcher Award recipients and their research projects are:
- David Harris Smith, assistant professor, communications & multimedia
Project title: Virtual Hamilton: A Virtual Environment for Participatory Urban Planning
- Leyla Soleymani , assistant professor, engineering physics, Canada Research Chair in Miniaturized Devices; Project title: Development of all-solution-processing methods for creating fully integrated biosensing platforms
- Eva Szabo, assistant professor, biochemistry and biomedical sciences, Canada Research Chair in Metabolism in Human Stem Cells and Cancer Development
Project title: Improving treatment of obesity by making stem cell models to understand how obesity develops
- Ayse Turak, assistant professor, engineering physics
Project title: Nanoparticle arrays for light management an degradation control in organic devices (NanoLight)
Each Early Researcher Award garners $100,000 from the provincial government, and is matched by an additional $50,000 by the university. The government also provides up to $40,000 for indirect costs.
The sixteen ORF-RI recipients, their research award and projects are:
- Jonathan Bramson, Canada Research Chair in Translational Cancer Immunology, who was awarded $300,000 to research new treatments for cancer that employ patients' white blood cells to fight their tumours.
- Biologist Ian Dworkin, who was awarded $148,606 to examine the functional effects of subtle changes in gene function.
- Qiyin Fang, Canada Research Chair in Biophotonics, who received $149,036 to develop intelligent home sensor networks for the elderly. His team will work to develop sensors that can monitor physical activities and physiological parameters.
- Materials science engineer Kathryn Grandfield who received $61,889 to develop new methods to identify the underlying mechanisms involved in the bonding of implant materials to bone. Specifically, she will study the interactions between natural and man-made biomaterials at the nanoscale, focused on improving orthopaedic and dental implant technologies.
- Khaled Hassenein, who is leading a project team that has been awarded $249,933 to establish the Evidence-based Decision Making Centre, the first of its kind, which will help organizations understand and enhance managerial decision making to improve their productivity
- Lesley MacNeil, biochemistry and biomedical sciences, who was awarded $144,487. She will use nematodes or roundworms to study two environmental factors – diet and microbiota – and how these factors interact with disease mutations.
- Andrew McArthur , an assistant professor in biochemistry and biomedical sicences, who will use his $34,245 award to establish a new bioinformatics laboratory to integrate functional genomics, biocuration, and analytics in biomedical research.
- Paul McNicholas, Canada Research Chair in Computational Statistics, who has been awarded $150,000 to develop statistical techniques for the analysis of very large data sets that cannot be analyzed with existing approaches.
- Anthropologist Shanti Morell-Hart was awarded $80,000 to investigate transformations in past environments, human causes of these shifts, and societal responses to ecological change. Her archaeological research will map long-term changes in human-environmental relations through patterns of plant residues at ancient Mayan sites.
- Sukhvinder Obhi , associate professor of psychology, will use his $226,111 award for exploring the neurocognitive bases of social behaviour. He will examine whether a particular system in the human brain known as the human mirror system (HMS) causes social mimicry, and whether a particular factor that is known to affect social relationships – power – also has effects on the HMS and social mimicry.
- Structural biologist Joaquin Ortega will use his $800,000 award to acquire a Cryo-electron Microscope, a system that provides Ortega with the ability to understand cellular enzymes – those industrious micro-scale machines that sustain life
- Biophysicist Maikel Rheinstädter is leading a research team that will use their $400,000 award to unravel the mystery of how the earliest form of cellular life emerged more than 3.5 billion years ago.
- Brian Timmons, Canada Research Chair in Child Health and Exercise Medicine, has been awarded $80,000 to study the connection between physical activity and health in young children, and develop effective physical activity strategies that will keep them healthy
- Mechanical engineering professor Stephen Veldhuis, director of the McMaster Manufacturing Research Institute has won $398,380 to improve the performance of tooling using an integrated coating strategy involving material and process parameter optimization
- Gerry Wright, director of the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research and Canada Research Chair in the Molecular Studies of Antibiotics was awarded $300,000 to further his research on how to overcome antibiotic resistance
- Ryan Wylie, assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology, was awarded $197,972 award to develop synthetic mimics of the extracellular matrix (ECM) – the microenvironment that surrounds cells and provides structural and chemical cues. The understanding of cell-matrix interactions will lead to the development of targeted cancer therapies as well as regenerative therapies after cardiac arrest and stroke.
"We are proud to invest in ground-breaking, world-class research right here at McMaster University. Our researchers are key to building a knowledge-driven economy in Ontario which, in turn, strengthens our competitive edge," said McMeekin. "Congratulations to all of the well-deserving researchers receiving these competitive awards."


text: We had the anticipation and disappointment of the Moto x launch from Motorola last week, the latter because the device was confirmed as not heading to the UK. But that doesn't seem to be the end of the story.When the phone launched, Motorola pointed out that this was the first in a series of phones, with an earlier rumour pointing to Motorola delivering a quad-core version of the Moto X in Europe with a price tag of €250, which works out at something like £216.That rumour sounds more credible after some words of encouragement from Motorola Mobility CEO Dennis Woodside. he has confirmed to the CNET site that a 'less expensive' Moto X is being developed to appeal to international customers in markets where people 'generally don't buy' subsidised devices, as well as the prepaid market in the US. We don't know if the UK fits into that scheme, but we'll be gutted if we get passed over a second time.Mr Woodside pointed out the difficulty in finding a good quality smartphone at a lower price, forcing customers to make sacrifices in quality: 'The experience of devices you can get for less than $200 is subpar right now,' he said. 'We want everyone to have access to affordable smartphones.'He added that he wants Motorola to be able to offer cutting edge technology at an affordable price, so that cost-conscious consumers don't have to choose between spending a lot of money on a device or buying older, outdated technology.'Buying a new iPhone at full price for a prepaid service costs quite a bit of money, especially families who are buying devices for multiple people.'Woodside wouldn't give specifics of which features would still be included in a cheaper Moto X or when such a device would hit the market. But it sounds like it could be here this year: 'Moto X is the brand that we are most focused on,' he said. 'And there is more to come. You will see additional products within months.'Here's hoping we'll see something before the festive season. If Motorola wants to shift a few units, that should be the case.Source: CNET

Barely three months after effectively pulling the plug on Google.cn by committing to stop censoring search results as required by Chinese law, Google is rethinking its position. Instead of automatically redirecting users in mainland China to Google.hk, the company has posted a "we have moved" message on Google.cn so that users have to click on the link to Google.hn themselves.
The Wall Street Journal reports Google made the adjustment in an effort save its license as an Internet service provider in China without compromising its commitment to end censorship. But it's unclear whether the change will be enough to appease the Chinese government to the point that officials will renew Google's Internet license. Neither a spokesman for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology nor a foreign ministry representative was willing to comment directly on the issue.
Reaction from Google users in China is quite varied. The more tech savvy shrug off the change as nothing, but others seem to be exchanging their enthusiasm for the company with scorn. One comment on a Chinese microblogging site reportedly said:
If you want to leave, just leave!
If that's not enough, observers in the United States are fed up with Google's wavering ways. As the friend of a friend said earlier today:
Eventually, they'll have to decide whether they're going to stick to their moral compass, or give up and capitulate completely. There won't be a middle ground.
Ah, the Google sissies blinked. Hahahaha.....Reply

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — LSU has a new starting receiver, center and right guard on its Music City Bowl depth chart.
A tight end and new defensive back position has been added, too.
The No. 22 Tigers (8-4) shuffled their depth chart ahead of Tuesday's game against Notre Dame (7-5) at LP Field.
Redshirt sophomore John Diarse moved into one of the two starting receiver spots along with Travin Dural. Dural and Trey Quinn or Malachi Dupre had been listed as starters at the position.
Center Elliott Porter did not join the team on its charter flight from Baton Rouge and will not play in the bowl game, as expected. Porter fractured his ankle at Arkansas in November.
The new depth chart reveals what was expected: Ethan Pocic will replace Porter at center, and Evan Washington will fill in for Pocic at right guard.
"It's been pretty tough (on Porter)," left tackle La'el Collins said. "He's a guy who started off with us at the beginning of the season. We're going to be playing for him — every snap."
Colin Jeter, who has played quite a bit this season, has finally been added to LSU's depth chart at tight end. The Tigers now have five tight ends on the depth chart.
Also, a nickel position has been added to the depth chart. Freshman safety Jamal Adams is the only player listed in the spot.
For a look at the full depth charts, click here.
Underclassmen talk
LSU coach Les Miles revealed on his radio show Friday that underclassmen have received their grades from the NFL Draft Advisory Committee. Miles declined to give any other details.
Players who requested grades did not speak with reporters upon the team's arrival at the Opryland hotel on Saturday afternoon.
Senior running back Terrence Magee declined to speak for the underclassmen, but he said most have their minds made up.
"Those guys … some of them have to go talk to their family, but I'm pretty sure they know what they're going to do," he said.
Cornerback Jalen Collins, safety Jalen Mills, linebacker Kwon Alexander, offensive linemen Vadal Alexander and Jerald Hawkins, defensive end Danielle Hunter and Dural are seen as LSU's top underclassmen.
Dural, a redshirt sophomore, has said he plans to return for his junior year. Collins and Alexander are seen as leans to leave early.

You're pumping gas when up walks an acquaintance who has been bugging you to serve on a committee she chairs.
Face it: She has you cornered. But you can still control how long the conversation lasts. If you've decided not to join the committee, tell her then and there. Biggs recommends using a simple line, like "Love to―can't" (or a variation, if you want to soften it). "The trick is to stop there and not explain why," says Biggs. "You don't want to keep the door open for her to come up with even more arguments to try to change your mind."
If you are still considering her proposal or don't want to make a rushed decision, say hello but keep moving. Start backing away as if you're in a rush to get somewhere, or pretend to rummage through your purse for your cell phone to make a call. It should become apparent that you're too busy to talk. If she doesn't let up, "tell her you'll call her with an answer on a certain day," says Fitter Sloane. "Be respectful of her time," she adds. "Call her on Monday if you said you would."

text: Senate Dems move to curb Fed's powers WASHINGTON (AP) ¿ Senate Democrats on Tuesday proposed stripping the Federal Reserve of its supervisory powers and creating instead three new federal agencies to police banks, protect consumers and dismantle failing institutions. The 1,136-page bill, released by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, would represent a significant shift in power in federal oversight of the U.S. market. The Fed has been a dominant figure in managing the economy, although many lawmakers blame the central bank for not doing enough to prevent last year's crisis. ___ Housing plan reaches 1 in 5 borrowers WASHINGTON (AP) ¿ The Obama administration's mortgage relief program has reached one in five eligible homeowners, a government report says, but most of those borrowers are on temporary trial plans that have yet to be made final. As of the end of October, more than 650,000 borrowers, or 20 percent of those eligible, had signed up for trials lasting up to five months, the Treasury Department said Tuesday. The modifications reduce monthly payments to more affordable levels.

Dóchas (English: "hope") is the network of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) involved in development and relief overseas and development education in Ireland. Formed in 1974, Dóchas is an umbrella group for a diverse range of organisations - large and small, young and old, secular or faith-based – that share their commitment to tackle poverty and inequality in the world. Through Dóchas, Irish NGOs work together on issues that are done better together than alone. Dóchas provides a space for NGOs to come together and exchange their experiences, and to use those experiences to come up with more effective ways to end all forms of poverty and injustice. Dóchas is the Irish member of CONCORD.
Dóchas's vision is of a world where poverty and inequality are unacceptable, and where every person has the right to live free from fear, free from want, and able to fulfil their potential.
The purpose of Dóchas is to enhance Ireland's contribution to world development. It achieves this by: leading the Development sector towards high standards of practice and being an independent representative voice of Ireland's Development sector, in order to influence public debate and decision-making in Ireland and the European Union.
Dóchas is part of a movement working to build a society, in Ireland and in Europe, that actively seeks to eradicate global poverty, injustice and inequality.

Volume 19: Over the years, the popular media has had a troubled relationship with organizations like SNCC. Hollywood film director Phil Alden Robinson maintains that a big challenge to producing freedom movement films for theatrical distribution is the assumption that the films won't sell overseas. The entertainment values that drive the news limit the depiction of day-to-day grassroots organizing to dramatic protests. However, "media" is no longer defined as exclusively Hollywood, network television or mainstream print media. "Young people especially", says photographer Maria Varela, "are not just cultural consumers but culture-makers."

Agate box from the 19th Century, likely used for snuff to hold inside a pocket, as small snuff boxes were very popular.
The clasped box is in good condition with minor wear around the side metal filagree.
The stone is made of Scottish Banded Agate. Bands of quarts in this gem of agate in a dark brown, black and white contrasting colors in the agate. I purchased this at a Antique Faire in England awhile back. I purchased several of them while I was there, because I love agate accessories, or anything stone, so I looked for these sweet boxes. The box opens and closes fine. No problems and in great condition.
It is 1 3/4" X 1 1/4" X 3/4" tall. May have been a patch box as well, rather than for Snuff, but a lot of agate boxes were made for snuff...and larger boxes w/ legs were used for desk or dresser size snuff boxes. They are about twice the size as a pocket snuff box.
Purchased in England.

Our 2015/2016 survey season finished at the end of April 2016 when Peter and Frances followed the swallows back to England.
By the end of April we had completed 2 full assessments on all 14 sites with the help of our willing volunteers – who are now nicknamed the mud larks after getting stuck in a couple of really muddy sites which didn't dampen their enthusiasm one bit. We have continued to refine assessment methods as we gain more experience. We now take a quarter meter square quadrat for each of the different biota at each site in order to obtain detailed information on population numbers. We have found and identified over 200 species which shows the huge amount of life living in the Estuary and is great indicator of its health. We can now compare the results of two assessments at each site and Frances is spending much of her time in England sorting out the mass of data into some sort of order.
Interesting observations included an explosion in the numbers of shaggy sea hares (Buraetella leachi) in March many of which were found washed up on the shores all round the Estuary. The cause is not known but many were seen to be mating so this may have been one of the reasons for such large numbers. We accessed water data from the KEMP data recorders and found that oxygen levels had been lower than normal at that time and this could also have been a factor. Those who assessed the rock stack at Featherbed Bay were fascinated to watch a large octopus hunting for food along the water's edge.
The most striking feature of the last year has been the effects of the sheets of sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca) which now cover large areas of the shores especially in the Ashmead Channel and its approaches. This is smothering the eelgrass and mud and affecting the species that normally live there – for example in some areas the mud prawns have almost disappeared. This is turn will reduce their value as nurseries for young fish. However we will have to learn to live with this as the recent paper by Dr Allanson et al, 'Insights into the cause of an Ulva lactuca Linnaeus bloom in the Knysna Estuary', suggests that the sea lettuce is unlikely to go away. We have also been dismayed to see the damage to the eelgrass beds in Kingfisher Creek caused by extensive digging by baiters. This is a major threat to Knysna's environmentally important eelgrass beds which account for half of the eelgrass in South Africa.
Part of the routine of ShoreSearches now is to take plastic sacks with us and collect litter on the walk back from the assessment site which is particularly valuable in the more remote areas where official litter pickers do not reach. Sadly we usually find just as much litter when go back a few weeks later.
ShoreSearchers are fully involved in Knysna Basin Project's education programme with local and visiting schools, public groups and visiting organisations such as WESSA. We have been particularly involved with Knysna Primary's Eco Club and Riverwood Primary, and we spent a very worthwhile morning in April introducing new SANParks staff to the life of the Estuary. Our interaction with schools covers the shore and saltmarshes and includes classroom presentations and guided beach and shore walks where pupils are shown the many species living around the estuary and how important it is to treat the estuary and its inhabitants with care and respect. For many it is the first time they have seen how beautiful shaggy seahares are, the casings where moonshine worms live and the many other wonders of the Knysna Estuary.
We start assessments again in early October 2016 and we look forward to renewing contact with our volunteers and another successful ShoreSearch season. The good news is that SANParks have extended our research permit until 2019 which will enable us to further increase our data base of species diversity and frequency and to develop how best to present the data for the authorities and public.

While we had to wait seven years for Alexander Payne to return to theaters with a new drama, The Descendants made us realize just how much we missed the director. Thankfully the wait won't be nearly as long for his next, as production is gearing up for a fall shoot. For Nebraska, we know Bruce Dern and MacGruber himself Will Forte will lead the black-and-white film as father and son, but now the rest of the cast is starting to fill out.
Although over 20 speaking parts are still left to fill, two major additions have come aboard as Breaking Bad star and funnyman Bob Odenkirk has joined the ensemble as Dern's son and Forte's older brother, while Stacy Keach, who last showed up in The Bourne Legacy, has been cast as old colleague. Payne is also reportedly circling his About Schmidt actress June Squibb for another role, »

Which film is the odds-on favorite to grab the Palme d'Or this year. It depends not on who you ask, but who is assigned a jury seat. We've decided to offer our readers a breakdown on the jury of nine.
Known For: His political edge, as well as an omnipresence in Cannes, where he's appeared 14 times, winning awards twice.
Best Work: He won the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room, though many regard 1994′s Dear Diary, which won an directing prize at Cannes, to be his best.
Little known fact: Organized an estimated 200,000 protesters in 2002 to a gathering in the square in front of Rome's San Giovanni basilica to oppose legal reforms planned by the right-wing government of Silvio Berlusconi. He was quote during the protest as saying "The Italians who voted for Berlusconi were following a dream — and they woke up in a nightmare. »

Fresh off the Oscar-nominated success of "The Descendants," Alexander Payne is currently en route to Cannes, where he'll serve on the competition jury alongside the likes of Andrea Arnold, Diane Kruger, Ewan McGregor, Jean-Paul Gaultier and chairman Nanni Moretti. But it looks like our favorite David Strathairn impersonator made a big decision before he got on the plane to the South of France: as he's apparently decided on who he'd like to star in his next film.
The director's been working on "Nebraska," a comedy-drama, planned to be shot in black-and-white, about a father and son who hit the road together when the dad thinks he's won a sweepstake, for a while now, and names like Robert Forster, Jack Nicholson, Robert Duvall and Bryan Cranston have all come up in connection with the father's role, although it was widely reported that the director's Plan A was to try and lure »

Toby Jones/Sienna Miller = Alfred Hitchcock/Tippi Hedren? [Photo: Tippi Hedren / The Birds publicity shot.] Tippi Hedren once told The Times of London that Alfred Hitchcock — for whom she starred in The Birds (1963) and Marnie (1964), and with whom she had an exclusive contract — "kept me under contract, kept paying me every week for almost two years to do nothing" after she refused his sexual advances. "I admired Hitch tremendously for his great talent and still do," Hedren told London's Daily Mail. "Yet, at the same time, I loathed him for his off-set behavior and the way he came on to me sexually. He was a great director – and he destroyed it all by his behavior when he got me alone." Hedren had no luck after she rid herself of her Hitchcock ties. She had a small supporting role in Charles Chaplin's box-office and critical flop A Countess from Hong Kong (1967), starring Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren, »

This weekend isn't just about the Oscars, for the record. Saturday night, as is traditional, sees the warm-up for the big show with the 2012 Spirit Awards, Film Independent's antidote to the Academy Awards, intended to honor the best of independent cinema. With recent winners of the top prize including "Juno," "The Wrestler," "Precious" and "Black Swan," they've provided the opportunity for films that are perhaps a little too dark, small or offbeat to win Best Picture from the Academy the chance to grab some gold.
This year, things may be a little different, with oscar front-runner "The Artist" nominated in multiple categories, so we could end up seeing the two ceremonies mirroring each other more closely than ever. But will that actually be the case? True to their name, the Independent Spirits have been known to go their own way. We've run down our predictions below, and stay tuned for »

The Descendants is the Oscar-winners first film in seven years. Why's that? It's because Hollywood won't do adult drama
An almost Kubrickian seven-year interval has passed since Alexander Payne unleashed Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church on central California's vineyards in Sideways, remaking both their careers and sealing his own reputation as one of the most mordant and beady-eyed, yet sympathetic and humane observers of that poor benighted subspecies, the Middle-Aged American Male.
It turns out that time just ages Payne's wine more subtly in the cask, even if it may not help his pre-disastered protagonists grow up any quicker. The Descendants, set in Hawaii – a long way from Payne's native Omaha, Nebraska, where he set and filmed his first two comedies, Citizen Ruth and Election – finally offers a perfect showcase for the fiftysomething George Clooney. He plays Matt King, a self-admitted "back-up parent," who has to step up for »

He bagged an Oscar for Sideways (after refusing George Clooney a lead role). Now he's back with The Descendants (and this time Clooney made the cut). Alexander Payne talks to Simon Hattenstone about the importance of casting – and why his own films make him wince
Alexander Payne is the champion of male middle-class losers. Films such as Election, About Schmidt and Sideways star men who have the rug pulled from underneath them. So Matthew Broderick's teacher in the wonderful high school satire Election is bullied by Reese Witherspoon's monomaniac student Tracy Flick, almost has an affair, gets so badly bee-stung that his face is reduced to a raw burger, and loses pretty much everything. In About Schmidt, Jack Nicholson is left with nothing but repressed anger and an existential crisis when he's forced to take retirement. Sideways features Paul Giamatti as a depressed schlump of a teacher who »

So I have just about got Spiceworks up and configured. I'm loving it so far.
However, to be able to get it fully operational. I need to import my helpdesk tickets. We currently just have a sharepoint list that we use.
I've written a sql script that parses the sharepoint db, and extracts just the fields we need, giving them the headers that the bulk_ticket_import.rb ruby script requires.
However, the description field is usually pretty large, containing <div> tags and breaks etc. I can clean up my CSV file to get the data to import tickets into SpiceWorks but then looking at the tickets YUCK!
There is no formatting in the main description field. I basically need to be able to substitute <div> for a carriage return. That way it will display nicely inside SpiceWorks....
Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried using ASCII codes 10 and 13 on my SQL script to add that directly. No joy. I've tried replacing the div tag with \n no joy.
Any help would be appreciated.
This topic was created during version 5.0.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

When you tried substituting the <div> tags for a carriage return, did you also try open the CSV in excel to check the formatting? You might also want to try changing the <div> to just a space as the ticket window can have a variable width.
Also, after you do your data transformation, load the CSV into excel and then do a save as to another file name before importing into Spiceworks. This will help clean up and standardize the character set.
Mar 4, 2011 at 11:23 UTC
I did open in excel yes. However, I also wrapped the fields in double qoutes " " as many tickets contain extra commas etc. Opening in Excel seems to remove these quote marks thus breaking my csv.
I really need a new line rather than just a space though. Some of these tickets have a lot of notes already in them.
Thanks for your help.
Mar 4, 2011 at 3:44 UTC
I think it's a little more work, but if you import the CSV to an Access table, make any changes you need and then export the table as a CSV you should be able to keep the text qualifiers. At least it worked for me with a test in Access 2003.
Also found this link that might help if your text lines aren't too long.

Thanks I'll give it a try after lunch

How did this go for you, Simon?
We are looking into SpiceWorks and this would be a show-stopper if we were unable to transfer our current Sharpoint-list-based incident tracker to the new system.

Daytime sleepiness in Japanese patients with multiple system atrophy: prevalence and determinants
The recent SLEEMSA study that evaluated excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in Caucasian patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) demonstrated that EDS was more frequent in patients (28%) than in healthy subjects (2%). However, the prevalence and determinants of EDS in other ethnic populations have not been reported to date.
We performed a single-hospital prospective study on patients with probable MSA. To ascertain the prevalence and determinants of EDS in Japanese MSA patients, we assessed the patients' degree of daytime sleepiness by using the Japanese version of the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). In addition, we investigated the effects of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and abnormal periodic leg movements in sleep (PLMS), which were measured by polysomnography, on the patients' ESS scores.
A total of 25 patients with probable MSA (21 patients with cerebellar MSA and 4 patients with parkinsonian MSA) were included in this study. All patients underwent standard polysomnography. The mean ESS score was 6.2 ± 0.9, and EDS was identified in 24% of the patients. SDB and abnormal PLMS were identified in 24 (96%) and 11 (44%) patients, respectively. The prevalences of EDS in patients with SDB and abnormal PLMS were 25% and 18%, respectively. No correlations were observed between ESS scores and the parameters of SDB or abnormal PLMS.
The frequency of EDS in Japanese patients with MSA was similar to that in Caucasian MSA patients. SDB and abnormal PLMS were frequently observed in MSA patients, although the severities of these factors were not correlated with EDS. Further investigations using objective sleep tests need to be performed.
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is believed to be caused by disturbed or inadequate sleep
In addition, EDS has been considered a common manifestation of multiple system atrophy (MSA)
In the present study, we aimed to ascertain the prevalence of EDS in Japanese MSA patients by using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)
This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Niigata University School of Medicine. We performed a single-hospital prospective study on patients with probable MSA
Data acquisition
Standard PSG was performed with the following montages: electroencephalography (C3-A2, C4-A1, O1-A2, and O2-A1); electrooculography; submental electromyography; a nasal cannula to measure nasal pressure and a thermistor to monitor nasal and oral flow; anterior tibialis movement sensors; inductive plethysmography for thoracoabdominal motion; electrocardiography; and arterial oxygen saturation. Esophageal pressure was also measured in order to monitor the respiratory effort. Signals were continuously recorded on a 24-channel polygraph (SomnoStarPro; VIASYS, Yorba Linda, CA, USA), and the PSG records were evaluated by clinical technologists who were certified by the Japanese Society of Sleep Research and blinded to the patients' clinical status. The scoring of sleep stages, arousals, and respiratory events was done manually from the PSG records according to the 1999 recommendations of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Task Force
Statistical analyses
Relationships between the ESS scores and variables related to clinical and sleep characteristics were analyzed by a Spearman's rank correlation test. Unpaired Student's
Clinical characteristics
We recruited 25 consecutive patients with probable MSA (Table
Four patients were able to walk without help, 20 were able to walk with the help of a walker, and 1 could not walk. All 25 patients showed autonomic failure: 15 patients had orthostatic hypotension
Sleep characteristics
In MSA patients, the ESS score was 6.2 ± 0.9 (range, 0–15), and the prevalence of EDS was 24% (6/25) (Table
Effects of clinical and sleep characteristics on ESS scores
No correlations were observed between the ESS scores and disease duration, disease severity as assessed by UMSARS scores, or cognitive function as assessed by MMSE and FAB scores (Table
The present study showed that the ESS score in our MSA patients was 6.2 ± 0.9. This ESS score was higher than the previously published score in Japanese healthy subjects (4.1 ± 0.3; n = 79; mean age, 67.0 ± 1.2)
We also analyzed the effects of SDB and abnormal PLMS on EDS. Consistent with the results of previous studies
Although abnormal PLMS may be observed in MSA patients, there is no evidence that an increased prevalence of abnormal PLMS causes sleep disturbances and EDS in MSA patients. Vetrugno et al. reported that 15 of 18 patients with MSA (88%) presented with abnormal PLMS
We showed that the disease duration and severity, impairments of cognitive or frontal function, as well as sleep quality that was evaluated by PSG, were not associated with EDS, while we identified a dose-dependent effect of antiparkinson drugs on EDS. Although this finding was not consistent with the SLEEMSA study, which showed a lack of correlation between the amount of dopaminergic treatment and EDS
As mentioned above, the major determinant of EDS in MSA patients remains unknown. It is possible that the involvement of the arousal system may be a determinant of EDS in patients with MSA. In addition, as has been reported for patients with Parkinson's disease, several factors, such as depressive symptoms, hallucinations, psychosis, nocturia, and nocturnal motor symptoms, can be possible causes of the EDS in MSA patients
This study had several limitations. The first limitation of this study was that some of the subjects were administered a DA (3 patients) or an antidepressant (4 patients), and these medications can cause daytime sleepiness. The second limitation was the uncertainty over whether ESS is a suitable method for evaluating daytime sleepiness in MSA patients. This uncertainty may stem from the difficulty in ascertaining that MSA patients accurately rated their likelihood of falling asleep in some situations that they did not experience after disease progression. These limitations suggest the need for further investigations to determine objective sleep tests, such as a multiple sleep latency test, in MSA patients.
The frequency of EDS in Japanese MSA patients (24%) was similar to that in Caucasian MSA patients (28%) in spite of the difference in the frequency of subtypes. SDB and abnormal PLMS were frequently observed in MSA patients (96% and 64%, respectively), although the severities of these factors were not correlated with EDS.

The 23-year-old finger spinner, who has a variety of deliveries in his armoury, is expected to make his Test debut and will partner Muttiah Muralitharan, the most successful bowler in Tests.
Earlier this month, Mendis, who bowls a mixture of off-breaks, leg-breaks, googlies and top-spinners, claimed six for 13 against India to help his team win the Asia Cup.
Mendis, born in Moratuwa, a city on the southwestern coast of the Emerald Island, was reportedly fast-tracked after his unconventional skills were noticed last year by coaches of the national cricket academy when he was playing in the B division league.
"From the day we spotted him, he had all the variations. Not only was he gifted, he was also very calm and always ready to listen," Anusha Samaranayake, pace-bowling coach at the academy, told the Indian Express newspaper.
Mendis announced his arrival on the international stage with three for 39 off 10 overs against the West Indies in a one-day series in the Caribbean in April.
Meanwhile, tearaway fast bowler Lasith Malinga and all-rounder Ferveez Maharoof have been ruled out of the first Test after the selectors decided to allow them more time to recover from their injuries.
The selectors decided to allow Malinga and Maharoof more time to recover from their injuries and waited till the three-day warm up game at NCC finished to name the final 15 as some of the players were given opportunity to prove their fitness and form in that game.
In the opening Test, starting here on Wednesday, Sri Lanka should take the field with just two fast bowlers. In that case either left-armer Thilan Thushara or right-arm seamer Nuwan Kulasekera will share the new ball with Chaminda Vaas.
Fast bowler Dilhara Fernando was also ruled out after suffering a knee pain during a three-day practice game against India over the weekend.
Sri Lanka Squad: Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Kumara Sangakkara (wk), Malinda Warnapura, Thilan Samaweera, Michael Vandort, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapugedera, Thilan Thushara, Chaminda Vaas, Prasanna Jayawardene (wk), Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis and Nuwan Kulasekera.

Are you good at threeway sex? I'm iffy. I'm never very good at multitasking, so while getting fucked by one guy, it feels so good that I keep forgetting that I'm supposed to be sucking the other guy. It's kind of like trying to rub your belly and pat your head at the same time, or is it the other way around? Tanner Bradley doesn't have my problem. In the fourth episode of Lucas Entertainment's "A Very Merry Bareback Christmas," he's got two giant cocks to take care of, and he doesn't ever forget either one of them.
Lucas Knight and Tanner Bradley are sitting on the floor wrapping Christmas presents and Santiago Figueroa is sort of reading a book, but mostly the guys are talking. When Tanner notices Santiago rubbing his stiffening cock in his pants, he moves between his buddy's legs and pulls out his big dick. With Santiago's dick down Tanner's throat, Lucas moves to the couch and necks with Santiago.
If you like oral action, and especially big dick sucking, this is a great scene because so much of it is blowjob action -- the guys only start fucking during the last ten minutes of the scene. (In fact the first episode of this series is all head and Dato Foland and Donnie Dean don't get around to fucking until the second scene.) But eventually Lucas and Santiago get around to spit roasting Tanner on the couch, and like I said, he's ambidextrous and has no problems bobbing on one huge dick while getting plugged by the other.

How long did it take you?

I did get the Northern Lites. Tried them out today. Great! Much better than the two previous brands I've tried. I didn't make it 20 miles however, I'm lucky if I got 8 miles in. Snowshoe running in a foot of snow is not easy! I think using poles might help. It was only about 5 degrees and my German Shorthair Sam was cold, even with a jacket and booties and running non-stop. So I headed back to the car after a couple hours.

What yummy things are you baking for the holiday this year? I made some iced gingerbread cookies and also some dog biscuits today. The dogs loved the biscuits!elizabethhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9854179.post-26817822980080133382008-12-21T20:51:00.000-06:002008-12-21T20:51:00.000-06:00I mentioned this song a few weeks ago on my blog.I...I mentioned this song a few weeks ago on my blog.

By Edward C. Baig, USA TODAY
With all the attention Facebook is getting over privacy, you'd think the social-networking giant was springing as many leaks as BP. While not that dire, Facebook privacy settings have been an oily mess. Even CEO Mark Zuckerberg conceded they needed to be a whole lot simpler.
I've been digging into the new privacy settings Facebook is rolling out to address the issues. The basic promise is that you can control a swath of privacy settings with a single click, though you can fine-tune. Facebook also reduced the info that can be seen by anyone on the Internet. It made it simpler to turn off applications and websites you're no longer interested in.
Not everyone is satisfied. While approving of Facebook's direction, Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, told me in an e-mail that users are still "very frustrated. The larger lesson is that we can't rely on Facebook to decide for the users how much privacy there will be."
The issues have been anything but simple. Facebook members — approaching a half-billion globally — are encouraged to openly disclose personal information. It is what fuels the "social" in social networking and helps you make new friends or reconnect with old ones.
Of course, the more detailed the data that you do choose to share — political beliefs, hobbies, religious practices, past and present affiliations — the more you're helping Facebook make money. Marketers can target ads to specific groups, tailoring an ad, say, to all members in Chicago who love hockey's Blackhawks. The ads are anonymous: Zuckerberg insists Facebook doesn't share any of your personal information with advertisers.
Facebook's challenge is to convince the public that the good vastly outweighs the bad — which I believe it does. A recent bug, since fixed, that under certain circumstances would permit advertisers to access profile information thought to be private hasn't helped Facebook's PR, however.
Making your adjustments
Everybody has a different tolerance for privacy. Consider the kinds of things you're posting. You may choose to share the most intimate stuff only with the closest of friends while remaining more reticent with others. But don't post anything you wouldn't want your worst enemy to see. Do you really want your boss to see the leisure suit you wore in high school? You can form a group or list of your high school buddies (or any other kind of group) and within customized settings limit certain information to that group.
•Basic settings. Many users won't have to go any further than the simplified new privacy control panel, accessible from a drop-down Account menu. You can assign different privacy settings to different sets of people, broken into three groups: Everyone (anyone on the Internet), Friends of Friends, or Friends. I'd rarely recommend sharing everything with everyone. But going to the most restrictive friends-only setting may not make sense either, especially if you hope to make new friends.
Facebook provides a "Recommended" middle-ground default set of settings, but make sure they jibe with your preferences. Under the defaults, the entire Facebook community can see your status, photos, posts, bio, quotations and family and relationships. But only your friends under the recommended defaults can comment on your posts, or see your contact information.
If you're not comfortable with any of these, click "customize settings" for more granular criteria, perhaps designating the networks and people who can see pictures and videos you might be tagged in, or those who can post on your Wall. It takes longer to pore through the custom settings, but it's a good idea to explore your options.
Also, drop in on the Basic Directory Settings by clicking at the top of the main privacy page. It's where you can determine such things as who can send you friend requests or see your friends lists.
•Applications and websites. This is the area with settings to see, control and opt out of the party apps, games and websites you're using. You can check out a preview of the Facebook profile people will see when they look for you on a search engine. Other settings here apply to such things as who can see your recent activity on games and control the information available to applications and websites when friends use them.
The applications and websites area is also where you can turn off the feature known as Instant Personalization. Facebook is teaming with the likes of Yelp and Pandora to help you share your culinary or musical preferences at those sites. When you arrive at a site, you'll be able to click "No Thanks" if you're not interested. But you can turn off Instant Personalization for all partner sites by unchecking the "Enable instant personalization on partner websites setting."
The new settings hardly remove all the confusion, complexity and controversy. But they do represent a major step in the right direction.
