View Some of Our Favorite Photos of 2013
The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health is a dynamic, diverse institution, evidenced by our dedicated faculty, staff and students who are shaping the future of healthcare.
While it's impossible to easily summarize all of the elements that make our school great, what follows are 15 of our favorite photos from 2013 that exemplify our missions of education, patient care, research and community service. The images were shot by John Maniaci of UW Health marketing and public affairs, Todd Brown and John Wingren of Media Solutions, and medical student Matthew Kutz.
We hope you enjoy these photos, and we hope you're looking forward to 2014. On Wisconsin!
Future Surgeons?
The School of Medicine and Public Health and UW Hospital and Clinics participated in the annual UW-Madison Science Expeditions, which included a hands-on tour of the clinical simulation facility.
Better Check That Heartbeat
Medical student Karen Flores Rosario checks Bucky Badger's heartbeat. The Class of 2017 made a meaningful connection with alumni through the gift of a stethoscope.
The Art of Science
This colorful image from the lab of Su-Chun Zhang shows neurons (red) and glial cells (green, supporting cells in the brain) from human embryonic stem cells.
A Perfect Match
Match Day could not have gone any better for Natalie Weisensel. Not only did she learn her residency location, she got a marriage proposal from (then boyfriend) Brandon O'Neill (now fiance).
Honored for Community Service
Less-than-perfect weather conditions couldn't dampen our spirits as Dean Robert Golden presented the Spencer Foreman Award for Outstanding Community Service to UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank during a Badgers football game.
One Last Photo with Bucky
New doctors pose with Bucky Badger after graduation. Their careers may take them far from Madison, but they'll always be Badgers.
Learning About Mindfulness
Even in the hectic life of a medical student, it's important to slow down once in a while. About 20 students learned about the fundamentals of mindfulness, which has benefits including clarity of mind, better listening skills, greater empathy and an increased sense of connectedness.
Great Cast of Characters
A group of students in our Physician Assistant Program show off their "broken" limbs after successfully learning how to prepare a cast.
White Coat Welcome
The MD Program Class of 2017 participated in an annual rite of passage: the White Coat Ceremony, which signifies their entry into the medical profession.
Precision Required
Yongjun Yan of the Department of Medical Physics carefully labels tumor-targeting compounds with radioactive isotopes.
Easy-to-Use Flu Facts
Heather Lukolyo helped develop a booklet that uses simple language to make it easier for people with low literacy to grasp the importance of getting flu immunizations.
Our Proud Campus
From the rooftop of Rennebohm Hall, one has a perfect view of the Health Sciences Learning Center, Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research and UW Hospital and Clinics.
The Wisconsin Idea in Action
Dean Robert Golden speaks at an outreach event in Milwaukee. He talked about our Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH) program, which is addressing health disparities in urban areas.
Slowing Down? Not This Guy
Don Schalch, professor emertius, is a longtime mentor to our students. Though he retired in 1999, he volunteers as the medical director and regular attending physician for MEDiC, our network of student-run free clinics. Now in his 80s, he still regularly rides his bike.
Leading by Example
Patrick Brown, a student in our MD/PhD program, is well on his way to a career as an outstanding physician/scientist. But he also wants to have a positive impact on others. "What I care about is the generation behind me and whether they can succeed. As I succeed, I need to turn around and bring someone else with me," he says.

Black College Expo
Feb 24, 2014, by Ryan · email · Leave a comment
This weekend I was worked at a table representing USC Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy at the Black College Expo in Downtown Los Angeles' Convention Center. It was a great event for anyone who is interested in going to college. They had tons of colleges there as well as seminars for parents, such as how to apply for financial aid. I was amazed at how many people were there. I just wished that I had this when I was thinking about college because it is such an overwhelming process. I was happy to tell them about my experience at USC, but also about the amazing field of Occupational Therapy… because, of course, a lot of people didn't know what it was. I didn't know what OT was until after I graduated from my undergraduate program. I was so glad to be a part of this and inspire prospective students!

Technical Abstract: Over the last several years a two-source (soil + vegetation) energy balance modeling scheme has been developed and tested using either microwave-derived soil moisture or radiometric surface temperature as the key surface boundary condition. An overview of the modeling schemes are presented. Heat flux output from both models using airborne thermal-infrared and microwave radiometers are compared and contrasted as well as comparisons with aircraft flux measurements collected during the 1997 Southern Great Plains experiment (SGP97) conducted in Oklahoma, USA. The utility of the microwave-based two-source modeling scheme in simulating surface temperatures will be assessed using the airborne radiometric surface temperature observations. The capability of providing reliable spatially distributed heat fluxes at regional scales by both modeling schemes in contrast the aircraft flux observations will be discussed.

Dads v. Huggies
Mar 13th
Oh Huggies, what have you done? I saw a flurry of posts and comments over the last few weeks related to an advertising campaign by Huggies (here is a quick overview by Janice D'Arcy over at the Washington Post and the final outcome as well). Basically, Huggies tried to celebrate dads by calling them inept — maybe not the original goal, but that was the perceived result.
I understand the backlash and think that Huggies deserves almost every single criticism for the sheer fact they used a stereotype as the basis of the campaign. I say almost since, well, some complaints are straight from More >

Another interesting article from the New York Times and contributor Andrew Adam Newman. Although it focuses on Procter & Gamble marketing Pampers to dads on a more overt basis, it included a couple topics I find somewhat noteworthy that aren't direct topics of the piece.
First topic: Companies focusing on of-the-moment things like, oh, I don't know…fathers on father's day.

Why would you try to improve/change your product? Haven't you learned from facebook that change is not good? Tongue, meet cheek..cheek, tongue. As many a parent probably knows, Pampers changed things up a bit with their diapers and rolled out Dry Max diapers — which are now under attack for causing chemical burns. I will say this: I HAVE NOT USED THESE DIAPERS and I AM NOT CRITICIZING PARENTS THAT HAVE RUN INTO ISSUES WITH THESE DIAPERS. I made that in caps in case someone doesn't have time to read the whole thing. My thoughts are on the mechanics of More >
The great diaper debate
May 13th
When we left the hospital with our little bundle of diapered joy, I realized a lot of things. The first was that I should have wrapped the entire car in bubble wrap and had the folks at NASCAR install a steel role cage in the car. The second was: What diaper brand should we choose? (not really, but I needed an opening)
Each diaper company vies for our attention with promises of leak protection and comfort, but for me it ultimately came down to personal preference on one item — the tabs that secure the diaper. Our own debate was More >

On Tuesday's finale of The Voice, Robin performed "Get Her Back," with winning contestant Josh Kaufman and once again underscored why he has become one of the most respected vocalists in contemporary pop, soul and R&B music.
Check out the new single here:
The new album is Thicke'sfollow up release to last year's Blurred Lines, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart propelled by the success of its single of the same name.

I dislike routine and predictability. I also think having a plan is a bit overrated. Things usually work out for the best. I love being asked to something last minute. Sure, I wasn't your first choice for a sky diving buddy but you're jumping in 3 hours and you need a friend, I'll go.
Remembering movie plots. However, I'm terrible at remembering TV shows. I can tell you the plots of the movies I watched as a kid, but I have trouble even remembering which shows I watched. Why the difference?
Solving problems in the shower. For some reason I think better in there.
I'm pretty good at card games, board games, and puzzles. Set, settlers, spades, etc. Also escape games, they're the best!
Movie: Anything with "Movie" in the title (Scary Movie, Epic Movie, etc). A lot of others too.
Shows: Black Mirror, Futurama, Game of Thrones, House of Cards, South Park, Breaking Bad. I don't like any show with a laugh track. If it's funny, I'll laugh. (Yes, Seinfeld has a laugh track.)
Music: I've been really feeling the congos lately
Food: Nothing beats mom's spaghetti, but I'll eat anything. I love the food in this city.
Books - Kindle is man's greatest achievement. Thousands of books and a battery that lasts for weeks!
Dad jokes - I don't always tell Dad jokes, but when I do he laughs.
Chipotle and Mexican Coke - My 2 addictions.
Dogs - Pretty much always happy to see you, even if they don't know you.
Beer - Wheat please!!
-what would make the best useless superpower
-whats the biggest dog I could smuggle into my apartment
-why people make a big deal about the comma but don't know how to use a hyphen
You read fantasy.
You have ASMR (seriously this is the weirdest greatest thing ever).
You've done an escape game.
You've got a good Dad joke.

The Portuguese Podengo is a hunting dog from — yup, you guessed it! — Portugal, who comes in three sizes, small (Pequeño), medium (Médio) and large (Grande), each size with two hair coat types (smooth and wire coat) and a unique temperament. The Grande was bred to help hunt deer and wild boar, while the smaller sizes targeted rabbits and smaller game. The Pequeño also kept Portuguese explorers' ships clear of rats after the reconquest of the country from the Moors in the 13th century.
Regardless of size, the Podengo is an athletic, lively dog who excels at agility and makes a fine companion. Her loyal and fearless personality makes her a good guard dog, and her intelligence makes her easy for experienced trainers to teach. She is very active, so daily exercise is a must, and she is usually good with children and other animals when socialized from an early age.
Although generally considered a healthy breed, Portuguese Podengoes can still be prone to some hereditary and congenital conditions that can adversely affect their health — not to mention your family budget. Some of the conditions and illnesses Podengoes are prone to include hip and knee problems such as Legg-Calves-Perthes Disease and medial patellar luxation.
Thankfully, Petplan pet insurance covers all hereditary and chronic conditions as standard. Which means if your Podengo inherits her dad's sore knees or her mom's hips, you're covered.

There are certain problems related to removal of wisdom teeth, which the patients who undergo the surgical extraction of wisdom tooth have to face. These problems are not complications but are general ones which almost every body has to face. However if the patient is aware of these problems before hand then it becomes easier for them to minimize their effects and also helps mentally for the patients. These problems can sometimes lead to complications if not addressed properly like severe infection in the extraction site. However one can meet all the problems effectively by carefully following the instructions of dentists.
The most important thing after the extraction of wisdom teeth is the formation of clot at the extraction site. Till then the bleeding and oozing of blood from there is common. This bleeding can occur up to 3 days after the removal of wisdom tooth; however after 3rd day its quantum goes down and should be very less or barely noticeable. Till the bleeding is continuing, one should avoid vigorous rinsing of the mouth as it can dislodge the colt formed at the extraction site. One should gently start doing warm saline rinses 2-3 times a day after 24 hours of extraction of wisdom tooth as it helps in faster healing of the wound. These should be continued till the healing is completed. This should stop the bleeding. But sometimes it does not stop. In such cases one can take sterilized gauge piece and gently bit down on it with equal pressure. This helps in stopping the bleeding. This should not be overdone as this can irritate the wound. After biting down for half an hour, when gauze piece is changed, there should be noticeable reduction in the bleeding. Another more effective way is to take iced tea bag instead of gauze piece as the tannic acid in the tea bag helps more in reducing the bleeding from wound. All the steps help in reducing the bleeding and oozing. However where in spite of all these steps it does not stop or reduce after one day then one should contact the Oral Surgeon as this is not normal and good and there can be some other reason for the same. During the period of formation of clot in the exposed extraction site of wisdom tooth and coupled with presence of bacteria in the mouth, one can have bad smell coming from there shortly after the surgery. Further this can be accompanied by bad tasting fluid seeping from extraction site. This bad smell and fluid can continue upto maximum 2 weeks after the surgery. All these increase the importance of follow up appointment with dentist within 7-10 days of surgery. During this visit if the dentist feels that the infection has set in the extraction socket then he gently uses a plastic syringe without the hypodermic needle and fills it with a mixture of equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water or Chlorhexidine Gluconate which also comes in the form of a mouth wash, into the sockets to remove any food or bacteria that may have collected in the back of the mouth.
This is the most common complication after extraction. Our mouth is full of bacteria. One cannot sterilize it. Dentist decides whether to give antibiotics after the extraction or not. Usually for the simple extractions antibiotics may not necessary but in the case of patient having pain and swelling or pus then the dentist prescribes the antibiotics as a preventive measure. In cases where bleeding continues after 48 hours along with acute pain and swelling, there could be infection after the extraction. In such cases the patient must contact dentist to avoid further complications.
Swelling is another common problem after the extraction of wisdom tooth. Rather the painful swelling is a good sign and is indicator of normal progress of healing process of wound. There is no fixed time frame for its duration and level of severity. These can be different from person to person. To reduce the amount of swelling one can do cold fermentation with ice. It should be done for 20 minutes and then take break of 20 minutes. Do this for one hour within 12 hours of surgery. Do not do hot fermentation. The post operative instructions of the dentist explain all this including the start and reduction of swelling. Normally it takes 7 days for swelling to subside and if this does not happen within this expected time then one should call up the dentist to checkup. In cases where swelling once goes away and then sets in again, this can be due to infection in the wound.
Dry Socket is also one of the most common complications of wisdom tooth extraction. It is a very painful condition. In dry socket condition the pain is acute and it does not subside even after taking pain killer tablets and to complicate further food gets impacted in the socket. It happens when the blood clot formed over the extraction site gets dislodged or does not form or falls of prematurely. Dry Socket is not an infection rather it is a condition. This happens when the post extraction instructions given by the dentist are not followed by the patient. Smoking, drinking with straw, sucking, spitting or blowing nose dislodges the clot. Females taking contraceptives have higher risk of getting dry socket due to the high level of estrogen. Further sometimes sneezing, musical instruments played with mouth also can disturb the clot due to change in pressure in the mouth. In the cases where the patients are smokers or in the case of complicated extractions involving lot of effort on the part of dentist for cutting the bone or in the case of patients having previous history of dry socket, the chances of their having dry socket are higher than others. When all the symptoms are present and the patient suspects of having dry socket then he should contact the dentist. The dentist will clean the extraction socket and induce fresh bleeding for formation of clot. In case of infection, the antibiotics are prescribed along with pain killers.
When the wisdom tooth is extracted by the dentist/Oral Surgeon, they have to be cautious so that to avoid the injury to nerve as these can be in close proximity to the tooth being extracted. The nerves of major concern are Inferior Alveolar Nerve and Lingual Nerve. The importance of these nerves is as under:
Inferior Alveolar Nerve – This nerve enters the mandible at the mandibular foramen and exits the mandible at the sides of the chin from the mental foramen. This nerve supplies sensation to the lower teeth on the right or left half of the dental arch, as well as sense of touch to the right or left half of the chin and lower lip.
Lingual Nerve – This nerve branches off the mandibular branches of the trigeminal nerveand courses just inside the jaw bone, entering the tongue and supplying sense of touch and taste to the right and left half of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue as well as the lingual gingiva. Such injuries can occur while lifting teeth but are most commonly caused by inadvertent damage with a surgical drill. Such injuries are rare and are usually temporary. Depending on the type of injury they can be prolonged or permanent.

The British duo decided to split last year to give Dave Peacock sometime to grief but they eventually want to give fans a farewell tour.
Veteran British singing duo Chas & Dave are reuniting - less than a year after they split. The two-piece band - beloved in the U.K. for their quirky hits inspired by life in their native London - decided to call it quits last September following the death of bass player Dave Peacock's wife Sue in July.
But Peacock has had a change of heart - and wants to give fans a farewell tour. Pianist Chas Hodges tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "I was sat at Dave's house having a cup of tea and out of the blue he said he wanted to do a farewell tour. Dave felt he left in unavoidable circumstances and wanted to come back for one final tour."
The tour is slated to start in March 2011. Tickets are on sale for up to £43.50. More than 30 other dates are expected to follow. "We are splitting the set into two halves, the first will be all the stuff we did in the pubs in the 70s, ending with Gertcha," Chas explained.

California's Teets gets first victory
It took four weeks, but Bo Teets has his first win as a head football coach as California knocked off Canevin, 28-14, in a Black Hills Conference game.
The Trojans (1-3, 1-3) jumped to a 14-0 first quarter lead, upped the margin to 20-0 and were never in trouble against the Crusaders (2-3, 1-3).
"It feels really good to win one, but we don't want to stop here," said Teets. "In retrospect, the way we played the first three games against good teams, if we continue to play with that kind of intensity we can have a good season.
"We think we can be a playoff team. We're playing to win every week."
Corey Adams ran 12 yards for a touchdown and then James Bongiorno rambled 22 yards for another score to make it 14-0.
Lester McGriff made it 20 -0 with a 48-yard run in the second quarter.
The Trojans scored their final touchdown when Demetri Clements went 25 yards before halftime to make it 28-7.
Clements rushed for 132 yards for California.
"We got off to a good start and had a couple of drives bog down in the second half," Teets said. "But all in all, I thought we played a good game. I'm happy for the kids."
Canevin quarterback Reid Reslosky hit on 10 of 22 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns.
Washington 35, Yough 13
Even without Shai Mc-Kenzie, Washington can still play a pretty mean football game.
Just ask the Cougars, who were on the losing end in the Interstate Conference game.
The Prexies (4-0, 4-0) jumped out to a 20-0 lead and never looked back. They led 28-7 going into the fourth quarter.
Jonathan Spina passed for 133 yards and a touchdown and ran for a score for Washington.
Yough (2-2, 2-2) got 132 yards passing from Tyler Donahue, who also scored on a 46-yard run.
Nick Payne had 76 yards rushing on seven carries, including a TD, for the Cougars and Clayton Waldron caught six passes for 58 yards.
Beth-Center 80, Bentworth 0
The Bulldogs (4-0, 4-0) had no problem dismantling the winless Bearcats (0-4, 0-4) in this Tri-County South mismatch.
Matt Riggle scored four touchdowns for the Bulldogs and Jason Stay, Nico Brown and Anthony Welsh had two each in the rout.

After many attempts of saving my PS3, I'm sad to announce my PS3 is pretty much fubar. I can watch blu rays, dvds and even play ps2 games. For the moment i will not be buying another console for now. I'll check my option and concentrate on my wii and 360 and return to classic gaming with the NES and SNES. Does this mean the jedi_webslinger is dead... not really. I love the Playstation despite my hatred for Sony as a Company. I will return to ps3 gaming but not right now. Maybe wait for a price drop. In the mean time i will sell a bunch of my collection and keep the great games that are near my heart... I can never give up on God of War it's my favorite Sony franchise.
So here's to my PS3. Here are my favorite gaming moments ..
I first got this game. I fell in love. Finally a western on a videogame console that is similar to the great classics of the genre. I remember the first time i played. i was hooked... and this may be the the game I really am a true beast at in multiplayer. Before my first YLOD... i was ranked in the top in kill / deaths. I freakin' love this game to death. I'm currently playing it on the 360 but my first love was on PS3.
This game blew my mind. Graphics wise. I still prefer the second game but this is truly a work of art in motion. And you can see minotaurs Bowels.
I first played this game on the PS3. I prefer the 360 version but this game was the reasn i wanted a PS3. I love Rockstar. They did a great job even if they backstepped from San Andreas in terms of scale.
I know the second one is better but i still prefer the first one which was a nice surprise in gaming. This game represents the new era of Indiana Jones in my opinion.
Not so nice memories
PSN outage
Console bricked due to leap year bug
In general i loved my experience on the ps3. jedi_webslinger will be back when I'll have the money to buy another console.
So what are your favorite gaming moments this generation?

Microsoft sticks with NVIDIA Tegra for 2-gen Surface RT tablet
0. phoneArena posted on 08 Aug 2013, 22:48
Microsoft has chosen to stick with NVIDIA as main SoC provider for its next-gen Surface RT tablet. That has been confirmed by the chip maker's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, during a recent interview. "We're working really hard on it, and we hope that it's going to be a big success", he said, while speaking with...

Whhaat are you kidding me? nVidia must be giving them a deal they can't refuse or something.
The Surface RT already has a negative reputation that it will have to recover from, but they still decided to stick with the unpopular Tegra chips known for uncompetitive energy efficiency and excessive heat problems?
Well, I guess nVidia had to stick their chip in at least one well-known device before their stock tanks due to their unfruitful Tegra efforts. I guess the bullied need to stick together.

I totally agree with you. Even in phones, have always prefered Snapdragon. I was expecting a Snapdragon 800 version and truthfully was beginning to consider Win RT. Now, will wait again for something else. Hopefully they will actually release multiple verisons with different processors.
8. omar98 (Posts: 71; Member since: 28 Aug 2011)
Actually I Have a LG Nexus 4 And A LG optimus 4X HD .. I can tell you that the S4 Pro Heats as much as the tegra 3 Although more power efficient
11. Birds (Posts: 1171; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
It's more and LG issue. My L9 heats up quite bad itself.
2. haikallp (Posts: 246; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I would have prefer a Surface RT with a Snapdragon 800 processor. But I guess Nvidia Tegra 4 offers a similar performance.
3. CaoCiBai (Posts: 24; Member since: 07 Aug 2013)
If that's the case, Tegra 4. Go for it. Although i personally think Snapdragon is the better choice.
4. Glim12808 (Posts: 394; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Since MSFT decided to keep on with RT, it's good that they're the only one left to produce it so it gives them the liberty to price it low enough without fear of stepping on the toes of any of their OEM partners' product.
I hope the next gen RT will be at prices more palatable to ordinary users in developing countries. I also hope MSFT comes out with different sizes of the RT.

7. Atlas (Posts: 158; Member since: 15 Apr 2012)
Why on earth are they making a second tablet, the first one had terrible sales.
9. PhoneCritic (Posts: 926; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
RT 2 ????? didn't MS take almost a billion write down for the failed RT sales? what gives????!!!
10. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1583; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
The reason Microsoft is making the windows RT tablet again is because PEOPLE are buying mobile devices using ARMS processors. Apple and Android tablets USE ARMS CPU's. if Microsoft gets out of putting windows on ARMS CPU's. Microsoft will be out of the Mobile devices game. ARMS CPU's are cheaper and use less power than Intel I5 or I7 CPU's that are needed to run good Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 Tablets. Windows 8.1 is a PC/Server/Laptop operating system that requires Powerful CPU power to run this OS. Even the New Intel Haswell CPU's that will give Windows 8.1 Tablets good battery life will cost a good bit of MONEY to buy. Folks if you want a real do everything Windows 8.1 Tablet they will not be cheap. sorry about that!

Philadelphia Child Molestation Defense Lawyer
Due to the damage sexual molestation inflicts on victims, prosecutors approach these cases aggressively and relentlessly. But when false charges are leveled, innocent people can wind up in prison for years — sometimes for life — and families can be shattered forever.
At Brennan Law Offices, we understand the severe personal and criminal penalties facing those who are charged with child molestation. We will do everything in our power to spare you from the consequences of a conviction.
Contact us today online or by telephone to speak with an experienced sex crime defense attorney. We represent clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Have You Been Accused of Child Molestation?
At Brennan Law Offices, we provide aggressive and intelligent legal defense for people accused of child molestation and other sex-related crimes. A conviction on a child molestation charge can result in a life sentence. This is why it is important to approach these cases proactively, getting an early jump on the prosecution. Oftentimes, this aggressive approach to legal defense can mean the difference between winning and losing.
Child molestation charges are easy to make, but not so easy to prosecute. Often, it is the word of a single child, or a single guardian, against yours. And instances of witness tampering and coerced testimony abound in these cases. The state must prove that there was actually misconduct and our defense attorneys will hold them to that standard. We have been handling difficult criminal defense cases for over 25 years and are prepared to help you fight back aggressively against the charges.
A Successful Defense Starts Here
If you are facing charges of child molestation, it is important to get a strong and quick start to your legal defense.

Indonesian Growth Dynamics
This paper provides an analytical narrative of Indonesian economic growth over the past two decades. Particular attention is paid to the key economic crisis events of 1997-98 and 2008-09, and how and why Indonesia's response to them was completely different. We emphasize and illustrate how the years 1997-98 were a watershed in the country's economic history and political economy. We underline the country's generally good economic performance, especially the rapid recovery over the past decade, while also highlighting the fact that its economic growth has never quite matched that of the very high growth East Asian economies. The final section analyzes some key policy challenges, including embedding reforms in a highly fluid political environment, maintaining a broadly open commercial policy regime, the regional and international architecture, macroeconomic management, and 'connectivity' and regional (sub-national) development.

Champion Endurance Horse Cloned
The birth of the world's second horse clone has been announced by scientists. The foal is a copy of a world endurance champion, Pieraz, an animal that has been castrated and was therefore incapable of normal reproduction. The research was undertaken by genetic engineering labs Cryozootech of Evry, France, and LTR-CIZ of Cremona, Italy, where the foal is being kept. The World's first horse clone Prometea, was produced by the same group of researchers in 2003.

Trade Union Organising in Private Sector Services : Findings from the British, Dutch and German retail industry
The aim of the paper is to take a closer look behind the curtain of low aggregate trade union densities in retail and to outline the major obstacles and problems trade union organising faces in the retail trades. Trade union organising and recruitment is analysed against the background of a 'two hurdle model of organising' (cf. Haas 2000, Dribbusch 2003) derived from explanations on trade union membership put forward by Green (1990) and Disney (1990). Within this framework the first hurdle to be taken is the establishment of a workplace presence as a precondition for any sustainable membership development. The second hurdle is then to convince the potential members in the workplace to join i.e. the recruitment.

Weather alert from the Wilson EMA
The storm prediction center has issued a severe thunderstorm watch until 3 p.m. today for Wilson County.
A cold front is moving in from the west today generating severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings. Monitor weather conditions today for possible warnings.
By SABRINA GARRETT
The Wilson Post
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation arrested a former Lebanon Police Detective Monday on misconduct charges. Steven Gordon, 38, was indicted on one count of official misconduct and one count of patronizing prostitution.
Lebanon Police Chief Scott Bowen was first alerted of the alleged misconduct in November 2012, when a former confidential informant, who was not actively working with LPD at the time, came forward with accusations that Gordon had exchanged money for sexual acts.
When you start here, we take an oath of office and ethics training. We hold our officers to a high standard. This is not what we expect of our officers, Bowen said, adding that Gordons actions were a bad decision he made while off duty.
As the chief executive officer of law enforcement in Lebanon Bowen decided to turn the case over to District Attorney Tommy Thompson, who then turned it into TBI.
In Mr. Gordons 13 years at the department we have not had these issues. He comes from a fine family and did excellent work, but once allegations come out we have to handle those situations. We have to have the publics trust in us, Bowen said. In the TBI investigation we discovered policy violations. We suspended him for 30 days pending the outcome of the investigation and during that time he decided to resign.
A release from TBI stated that they were able to substantiate the allegations during the investigations and presented the case to the grand jury last week.
Gordon was booked into the Wilson County Jail Monday and released the same day on a $2,500 bond.
We are disappointed. Our policies dictate conduct on and off duty, Bowen said. The main thing is we have to have the publics trust in us. Police officers are human beings. In some cases make bad decisions and we have to suffer the consequences but his actions do not mirror the professional work that our officers do.
GLADEVILLE -- Wilson Central got two outstanding pitching performances and swept a pair of games Wednesday to open pool play of the Wilson County Invitational Tournament.
Lefty A.J. Franklin (2-0) struck out 14 batters in a 3-0 victory over Macon County in the opener. The Wildcats pushed across three in the bottom of the first and Franklin did the rest -- allowing just three hits.
In the nightcap, Braxton McFarlin ripped a walk-off double in the bottom of the seventh for a 1-0 victory over White House High. Starter Kyle Hubbuch (1-1) went the distance for the shutout -- scattering five hits and striking out six.

Alternatively, you might look at some floppy-based distributions, and add things from there. I doubt any version of X will fit on that box. Sorry. Another idea would be to find a way to use that machine as an Xterm - storing binaries on another network attached machine to overcome the 80MB limitation - perhaps qnx has something that might help in this space?

The Fed meeting this week brought a couple of changes to the economic projections from the Federal Reserve.
The projections are released four times per year and typically include forecasts for the direction of the gross domestic product, unemployment and inflation. This week's new additions incorporate forecasts of the federal funds rate, including where participants believe the rate should be at year-end for the next three years as well as when they believe will be the appropriate time to begin raising rates.
The charts that are usually included received short shrift yesterday in Bankrate's Fed coverage, but they revealed how widely varied opinions are in the committee.
The first chart illustrates the projections for changes in gross domestic product, or GDP. Some committee members see growth rebounding well through the end of the year and cresting 3 percent. Other forecasts call for flatter growth through 2012.
The central tendency shows that the majority believe that GDP will continue to grow at a slow-to-moderate pace.
The path of the unemployment rate shows that some optimistic members forecast a steady abatement through the year and into the next two years. The central tendency shows that most participants believe that the unemployment rate will slightly decrease this year and gradually decline over the next two years.
The committee sees "unemployment in the long-term being somewhere between 5.2 to 6 percent what we might call in there the natural rate of unemployment," says John Stewart, managing director of Vantage Economics, an economics consulting firm.
For personal consumption expenditures inflation, the central tendency calls for a sharp dip in 2012 and then flattening out over coming years. Some committee members put inflation on a steady course at least through this year.
In the press conference on Wednesday, Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke, did mention that deflation could portend extra stimulus from the central bank.
Their target inflation rate is 2 percent, as was announced in the statement released prior to the press conference. That was a first for the central bank and was a stated goal of the chairman.
From the statement:
The Committee judges that inflation at the rate of 2 percent, as measured by the annual change in the price index for personal consumption expenditures, is most consistent over the longer run with the Federal Reserve's statutory mandate. Communicating this inflation goal clearly to the public helps keep longer-term inflation expectations firmly anchored, thereby fostering price stability and moderate long-term interest rates and enhancing the Committee's ability to promote maximum employment in the face of significant economic disturbances.
"The Federal Reserve works under the dual mandate of maximum employment and stable prices and it's always been sort of implied that when you look at inflation and stable prices, the long-run personal consumption expenditure inflation rate should be at about 2 percent," says Stewart.
"They see that as being conducive, in the long run, to maximum employment," he says.

The Bull Terrier (Miniature) is a breed with origins in the English White Terrier, the Dalmatian and the Bulldog. The first existence is documented 1872 in The Dogs of British Island.
Miniature Bull Terriers have short, fine, and glossy coats that are very close to the skin, like the Bull Terriers. They are accepted in the ring to be white, white with another color, or fully colored. However, like the Standards, any blue or liver colored coats are undesirable. These dogs require minimal grooming.
In the early 1900s, the difference between the breeds was determined by the dog's weight. However, this led to Miniature Bull Terriers becoming so small and fine that they looked more like a Chihuahua than a Bull Terrier. So, in the 1970s, the weight limit was replaced with a height limit of under fourteen inches. They are usually no smaller than ten inches. According to the AKC, miniature bull terriers' weight must be proportionate to its height. However, they tend to range anywhere from 20–35 lbs.
The Miniature Bull Terriers have a very bold build. They have very muscular shoulders and a full body. Like the Bull Terrier, they have a head described as "egg-shaped." It is flat on top with a Roman nose. The eyes are triangular and closely set. The ears are carried erect and are not cropped or otherwise altered.The tail is carried horizontally rather than vertically.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
you have a bad oven igniter. this is a very common problem. to replace, remove the oven bottom and remove the 2 5/16 screws holding the igniter. first put a drop of dish liquid on the threads of the screws as they will not come out if you do not. the part can be found at www.appliancepartspros.com at a discounted price. the part number is XXXXX
cost is $39.95 plus shipping
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX taken the bottom of the oven out as instructed and note there are two screws in the horizontal plane and two in the vertical plane; I am not sure which to undo?
not sure where you mean? there are just 2 screws in the side of the igniter. they are right at the rear of the burner.
Perhaps question needs to be clarified with the note that the screws identified are at the igniter location.
here is a pic of the unit. the igniter only has 2 screws in the side of it.
Ok I think I understand I will try to undo them.
make SURE to use the dish liquid
then just feed the wires out till you get the plug and unplug.
OK stay with the rookie; I have unscrewed the igniter and two wires are attached to it. When you say unplug it could you describe where the plug is? The igniter unit has these two wires and as I feed them toward me in the oven there is a green connection behind the back of the oven that appears to be too large to come through to the oven. Is the plug actually part of the igniter?
that green plug will fit through the hole. it just fits but it will come out for you to unplug it
one side of it is with the igniter and the other stays with the oven
make sure that when you install the new one that the plug is pushed back through the hole as it can melt if left in the oven side
Victory! I have unplugged the igniter. One final question. You very helpfully identified on on line site to buy a new igniter, however, are these parts readily available at an appliance store at the about the same price you mentioned? My wife needs to bake tomorrow and I would like to be the hero repair guy tomorrow am...
at my store this same part is $76.99. so you will pay more but it is available at any appliance store that does repairs. chain stores like sears, lowes, etc do not carry parts
Thanks you have been very helpful.
your very welcome and thank you

What is a night
cab view?
The MSTS
graphics engine renders cabviews as a series of overlaying
bitmap files, instead of true 3D objects (like those visible in
external views). Accordingly, the cabviews do not respond to
changes in ambient lighting in the sim, like when the sun goes
down or a locomotive enters a tunnel. MSTS-Bin allows a
secondary cabview to be installed along with the primary cabview.
When using the locomotive's cabview, any time the sun is not
"up" or the train enters a tunnel, the secondary cabview is
displayed instead of the primary cabview. This allows developers
to simulate day and night conditions within a locomotive cab.
What is
MSTS-Bin is
third-party patch to Microsoft Train Simulator that addresses
some of software challenges that were present in MSTS. It also
adds some capabilities to the simulator, such as the ability to
switch between control cabs between multiple locomotives in a
single train, or to use multiple cabviews from a single
Where do I
get MSTS-Bin?
MSTS-Bin is
available at
UKTrainSim. When downloading and installing MSTS-Bin,
please be sure to carefully read all the documentation and
follow the instructions.
What do I
need to use the RF16 Night Cab?
The cab
enhancement requires that MSTS-Bin version 1.7.1022 or later be
installed and functioning on your MSTS installation. Once the
cab enhancement is installed, it functions automatically.

Narrator: Erin Spencer
Publisher: Terry Maggert (2016)
Length: 7 hours 19 minutes
Series: Book 2 Halfway Witchy
Note: This book works fine as a stand alone though I think you would enjoy some of the characters more if you read Book 1, Halfway Dead first.
Set in the picturesque, touristy New York town of Halfway, Carlie is still making waffles at the local diner. Wulfric is enjoying his new-found freedom, and Carlie's company. Gus still appreciates having human slaves to open his tuna and provide a warm bed. But something is afoot, and it's more than just the circus in town and the clowns cluttering up the diner. As more bodies pile up, Carlie and Gran must put their witchy powers to use. Vampires are crossing their territory and not all are behaving nicely.
This was another fun addition to the series. Carlie is a little older, a little wiser, but also completely smitten by her half-vampire Viking lover. I think her love life had her a little distracted throughout the book, but I can forgive her. It's her first love and she's fallen hard. Plus, Wulfric is an interesting character in his own right. Things are complicated a little by his previous girlfriend, a shape-shifter named Anna. They have a child together and so it's unlikely that Anna will ever truly be out the picture, much to the irritation of Carlie.
The librarian was also a favorite character, even though I don't recall his name. He's a little awkward, totally geeky, and definitely a worthy ally. He helps Carlie dig up info on the first body and he doesn't lose it when he actually sees the body. I also enjoyed the mail delivery lady. She has a wholesome sexuality that everyone enjoys. I am glad the author put this character in the story because she serves as counterpoint to Anna. Carlie goes off a few times about Anna's promiscuity and it really borders on slut shaming, but then we have the mail delivery lady who Carlie likes. I'd like to point out we never actually see Anna behaving badly, we just hear about it from Carlie. Jealousy? Perhaps.
I really enjoyed Gran sharing one of her secret information sources, a certain ghost. That scene has stuck with me and still has me chuckling. I love that Gran is not only an important person in Carlie's life but also a worthy mentor.
Eventually the mystery starts to unfold as more than one vampire attempts to cross the lands protected by the McEwan witches. And, of course, the clowns play into it as well. How could they not? If you find clowns a little creepy, then this story will raise your gooseflesh. I really liked the underlying mystery and Gran and Carlie have to go to battle with their witchy spells. I'm on the fence about whether or not I liked Wulfric's role in the final battle.
Overall, this was a solid story and I got quite a bit of enjoyment out it. However, I did enjoy Book 1 more. Still, I look forward to the next book in the series.
I received a free copy of this book via The Audiobookworm.
The Narration: Erin Spencer does another good job with this installment in the series. She really sounds like a 20ish woman. I also like her accent for Wulfric and some of the clowns had accents as well. Her Gran is also growing on me quite a bit.
What I Liked: Carlie's determined to protect her territory; vampires; ghosts; Wulfric the viking vampire; great narration.
What I Disliked: Slut shaming? Perhaps; still on the fence about Wulfric's role in the final battle.

Book Blurb for Halfway Bitten
The circus came to Halfway, and they brought the weird. When clowns, vampires, and corpses start piling up in town, Carlie has to break away from her boyfriend, Wulfric, to bring her witchy skills to the table- or grill, as the case may be. When the body of a young woman washes up in the lake, it unleashes a spiral of mystery that will bring Carlie, Gran, and Wulfric into a storm of magical warfare. Spells will fly. Curses will rain. Amidst it all, Carlie will make waffles, protect her town, and find out if a man from the distant past can join her in happy ever after. With love and honor at stake, Carlie has no peer.

On Monday, November 5, Harvard President Drew Faust joined the Presidents of Northeastern, Boston University and MIT to present The Science Coalition's annual Champion of Science award to Congressman Edward Markey. Markey was recognized for his strong commitment to funding the basic research that keeps the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at the forefront of scientific discovery and technological innovation.
A long-time member of the Energy & Commerce Committee, Congressman Markey has been outspoken in his commitment to research and development, supporting legislation that has led to advances in energy, technology, and biomedical research.
Congressman Markey has worked with other Champion of Science award recipients, including Congressman Brian Bilbray (R-CA,) on efforts to increase the National Institutes of Health's budget. This year, their letter to the House Appropriations Committee attracted some 150 members of Congress to sign-on in support of the budget increase. Congressman Markey's leadership has been a critical factor in ensuring continued strong support for NIH research.
President Faust commended Markey's work on behalf of science, stating "we thank Ed Markey for his tireless support of science, and in particular his championing of university-based research as a pathway to knowledge that can unlock the future, strengthen the local economy and address the health and security needs of the nation. We are delighted that through The Science Coalition, Congressman Markey is being recognized nationally for what we know so well here at home."
The Science Coalition's Champion of Science Award is given to members of Congress whose actions and votes consistently reflect the belief that basic scientific research, conducted at universities and national labs across the country, is essential to the nation's ability to address pressing issues and that a strong federally supported basic research enterprise drives innovation that fuels the U.S. economy. Congressman Markey joins a distinguished group of 60 current and former Members of Congress who have received this award since 1999.


text: Politics 28 August 2006 Changing the rules* Is it a crime to wear a peace slogan at Westminster? Can your other half enter a civil partnership w Sign up for our weekly email * During a recent visit to London, I was surprised when a policeman at Westminster Abbey told me to cover up my T-shirt - which had a peace symbol and the word "AntiDeath" on it - because it was "political". It's actually the name of my band, but how come the police can tell me what not to wear, anyway? Kasia Krynska, Bristol Your bewilderment is understandable, but the situation is not as dire as you seem to assume. Only in parts of central London do the authorities have that power. A visit to tourist attractions elsewhere would have drawn little or no police attention. Westminster is, however, subject to special rules. The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 authorises the Home Secretary to specify anywhere within a kilometre of Parliament Square as a place in which demonstrations need prior authorisation, and in June last year, Charles Clarke designated the entire area between Lambeth Palace, Horse Guards Parade and the South Bank. "Demonstrations" are not defined, but expressions of dissent by lone individuals are specifically included - and a failure to give the requisite notice attracts up to 51 weeks in jail. It is a draconian power, and the police have been duly careful about its exercise. In fact, the only convictions to date have targeted people whose protests were and are especially embarrassing to the government: the long-standing pacifist Brian Haw, for example, and Maya Evans, arrested at the Cenotaph for reading out the names of British troops killed pursuant to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Had it been clear that you were a musician rather than an actual campaigner against death, you would probably have been left alone. The high court is due to consider the law's compliance with the Human Rights Act in November. It would be sensible, meanwhile, to seek official approval before visiting the designated zone again. Send a registered letter to: The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, c/o Charing Cross Police Station, Agar Street, London WC2N 4JP, at least six days in advance, stating what you plan to wear and how long you mean to wear it. Subject to any conditions imposed, you will then be immune from prosecution. My boyfriend has always been close to this old, rich guy who recently suggested to him that they enter into a civil partnership. All he'll say is that it would be a "financial arrangement" and that it wouldn't change his feelings for me. I'm pretty narked about it. What does it mean? A distressed romantic, Manchester Feelings lie beyond a lawyer's expertise, but please do not simply assume physical infidelity on your boyfriend's part. Civil partnerships require merely that both parties be unrelated adults of the same gender. Sexual intimacy is not required. Nor is it prohibited, admittedly - but you can take comfort from knowing that your boyfriend will do only what he feels is right. His explanation is somewhat puzzling, all the same. Though civil partners enjoy the same financial advantages as married couples, those advantages would necessarily exclude you. It is always hard to calculate secrets of the heart. I find myself wondering, nevertheless, just how "old" and "rich" his potential companion might be - for if either member of a civil partnership should die, the survivor potentially inherits the entire estate of the deceased, tax-free. And if one partner is prudent enough to insure against the other's death, the sorrow can come with an ever more silver lining. You should know, however, that their union would ordinarily have to last at least a year, and to dissolve it could take as long as five. Your boyfriend would meanwhile be disqualified from marriage. Of course, it might be that he has never been the marrying kind. Sadakat Kadri is a barrister and author of "The Trial: a history from Socrates to O J Simpson" (Harper Perennial, 2006).
