Summer Fellow Megan Duke '14 published in mathematics journal
University senior Megan Duke has had the research findings she
produced as a part of the university's Summer Fellows program published
in the highly regarded Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Math Journal.
A senior mathematics major from Weirton, West Virginia, Duke published an article titled A Non-geometric Switch Toggling Problem.
Her research focused on when and how any system of switches can be
transformed from one initial configuration to another configuration by
always changing a fixed number of switches in any one step. This is
important research in the context of genetic toggle switches and how
they can be used to predict the conditions necessary for gene
bi-stability in gene-regulatory networks such as E-coli or feline
Duke conducted her research as a part of the
university's Summer Fellows program, which allows selected students to
work closely and intensively with the university's faculty on specific
areas of research. That research project must be chosen for inclusion
in the program by the university's vice president of academic affairs
and the university's president. Professor of Mathematics Dr. Richard
Daquila worked with Duke on the research and also serves as her faculty
To be published in the Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Math Journal, articles must be submitted to a panel of referees and then selected by the publication's editor-in-chief. The Journal is devoted entirely to papers written by undergraduates students on
topics related to mathematics. Although the authors need not be
undergraduates at the time of submission or publication, the work must
have been completed before graduation. The publication is sponsored by
the mathematics department at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
In addition, Duke was invited to present her
findings at the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) fall meeting,
held at Cleveland State University. The MAA is the largest professional
society that focuses on mathematics at the undergraduate level. Its
members include university, college and high school teachers; graduate
and undergraduate students; pure and applied mathematicians; computer
scientists, statisticians and many others in academia, government,
business and industry. Duke's presentation was one of only a few to be
given by an undergraduate student.
Duke will graduate from Muskingum in May with a
degree in mathematics and a teaching license. She plans to teach
mathematics and is also applying for a Woodrow Wilson National
Foundation Fellowship grant that would allow her to both teach and
attend graduate school.

My Reasons for Reporting This

subset: commoncrawl


text:
A recent article in The Guardian, a United Kingdom publication, says farmers in India are losing faith in producing genetically modified cotton. The writer contends that farmers blame the manufacturers of the new seed for causing crop losses. They believe this so strongly that a court in the country has ordered Bayer CropScience to pay more than $1.1 million to more than 1,000 farmers for cotton hybrids that "did not deliver the promised yields."
Bayer claims the yields did not occur because of "inadequate crop management and adverse environmental conditions." The company plans to appeal the decision.
India is place that seems to want to have its cake and eat it too when it comes to growing GM cotton. Growing cotton in India was incredibly difficult before GM cotton appeared in 2002. Harvests have doubled since Indian farmers adopted the technology. What they seem to forget is that with the GM cotton is that the seed is not a magic bean. The Indians claim they were promised certain yields. However, no yield can truly be promised by any company regardless of whether the seed is genetically modified or not. Growing conditions and management have a direct effect on yield, yet the Indian farmers seem to have forgotten that.
In an example of how misguided their views are about growing GM cotton, the head of the Central Institute for Cotton Research, Keshav Raj Kranthi claims GM cotton is more susceptible to bacteria. He claims GM varieties consume more water and nutrients, leading to soil depletion, which means more fertilizer is needed.
Kranthi has it all backwards. To produce higher yields, plants need more water and fertilizer. As plants produce more yields, they do mine nutrients from the soil, but any plant does that, not just genetically modified plants.
The group Coalition for a GM-Free India wants farmers to go back to the way they used to produce cotton before GM cotton was introduced. Why does it seem that anyone anti-GMO seems to be anti-technology? It appears this group wants India to return to half of the cotton yields it produced 10 years ago. They probably want to give up their second largest cotton producer status too.
"Small farmers have no idea what they're buying and even less idea how to grow these new varieties. Their traditional know-how is disappearing," said Sridhar Radhakrishnan of the Coalition for a GM-Free India.
It appears that Indian farmers either were not truly educated about how to use GM seeds or simply lacked the understanding of how to change and adapt their production practices to produce the higher yields they believe they were promised. In all likelihood, the government is to blame for failing these farmers by not providing them with the financial and legal help needed.

hi everyone.
I am sleepy and my mind is agitated. When I try to meditate, I go into a semi-conscious state where my mind wanders off (you could say I'm half-asleep).
It's these times where I haven't had enough sleep that I need the benefits of meditation the most. However, when I'm so sleepy and agitated I cannot meditate! It's a vicious circle. It's at these times that I sometimes act mindlessly and this really impacts my life in a negative way. Any suggestions??

Conference Champions 1955, 1956, 1988, 2005
NBA Champions 1989, 1990, 2004
I think the rotation is fine in it's current 9 man form. We have to keep these guys fresh for the postseason, especially the older dudes and Roy. The ultimate goal here isn't the top seed in the East. It's the title. Come playoff time, the rotations will be shortened and you better believe this team is going to be locked in. I really think part of the problem is that they are just bored with the regular season. The NBA season is about 20 games too long imo.
Overall point stands though, it's too risky to put your eggs in the "Granger regaining his form" basket. The deal had to be done.
No, they're just not playing well. Whatever the problem is they either fix it immediately or lose the #1 seed. Miami isn't going away.

These guys are gonna get plenty of rest in the playoffs if they show up and take care of business. We can expand some energy now, to at least maintain our lead over Miami. But it might already be too late.
How could it possibly be too late already? We are still ahead of them in the standings. There are like 30 games left in the season. Plenty of time for any number of wonky things to happen.
Miami just went 5-1 on a tough road trip. They rolling and Lebron is gearing up the playoffs. This was the same time frame last year they went on the huge winning streak. Miami pretty much has the #1 seed locked up at this point. Pacers can't / wont win consistently enough to challenge.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
I guess this all just goes back to the fact that I don't see #1 seed as a necessity in beating Miami. I would love to have it, but I think we can beat them without it. I honestly think we can beat them in 6 games, too. With or without home court.
We really aren't giving up that much ground to Miami. We've lost half a game on them since January 1.
Yeah but this was the difficult part of their schedule, and a relatively easy part of ours. They are playing well we are not.
Has there been any kind of dialogue from Granger about all of this? In the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter what's done is done, but I would like to hear what he has to say. I mean we've already heard from Turner but not Granger.
Any word on if Turner is playing Saturday, he needs to.
Larry did the right thing here. Period. I'm sure he doesn't love it for the personal reasons any more than we do. We're not even the ones who had to tell Danny. I'm sure that fell to Larry and I'm sure that was hard on him.
"I'm going to go draft Danny Granger!" /click - The Legend
Do not for one second think that this was not hard for Larry on a personal level. I'm sure it was. Remember why Danny wears 33 in the first place.
But Larry knows that championships aren't won with feelings. We have no right to judge him on a personal level about this. He knows Danny better than anyone on this board I am sure.

Does anybody believe in the slim chance that Simon told Larry he'd be willing to pay LT in order to keep the group together, prior to making this deal for Turner? Re-signing both Turner and Lance in the offseason would be a tremendous long term coup for the Pacers.
According to Candace, Danny's physical is on Saturday*, and I believe the league won't let any of the traded guys play until they've all passed physicals, in case the trade gets rescinded (cf Tyson Chandler to OKC trade in 2009). It's very rare of course, but have to cover all possibilities.
*Edit: Whoops, seems I remembered wrong. CB's tweet said "tomorrow" yesterday, so yeah the players can be cleared soon.

I don't have a Granger (or any jersey of the Pacers) but as a Colts fan it would feel weird to wear a Manning jersey (especially since he's still playing for another team) it feels weird watching old clips of him as a Colt in general.
It will probably feel the same with Danny too.

I thought I would bring this up as an interesting case study, because as Blake has pointed out, you want to ignore the differences in the forms of long throwers and get to the similarities. Find the similarities in this guys throw with one of the known big guns out there and you may find it highlights what you should be working on.
Yes, there is wind in this video, but he bombs 500'+ in other videos without wind. I posted this one because you can see his form in it.

Hound hits the trail of fugitivesJohn Silvester
Published: February 2 2013 - 3:00AM
POLICE have established a fugitive taskforce to track down armed offenders, bail jumpers, escapees and runaway sex offenders hiding throughout Australia.
The unit, which has already tracked down and arrested hundreds of parole violators, has had its role widened after an eight-week trial during which investigators arrested three of the state's most dangerous fugitives.
They have also arrested three serious sex offenders who breached supervision orders.
Assistant Commissioner (Crime) Steve Fontana told Fairfax the taskforce would be assigned to find ''offenders with a history of violence who are armed and pose a risk to the community''.
The Fugitive Taskforce will be a larger version of the Repeat Offenders Parole Enforcement unit that has specialised in finding parole violators who have committed thousands of crimes while on the run.
''Over the years these investigators have developed expertise in tracking down people and that ability will be used to find a range of fugitives,'' Mr Fontana said.
''We have identified a gap in our response in finding violent offenders and we are confident this will bridge that gap.''
He said the taskforce had shown an ability to efficiently arrest violent suspects without injury. ''They have made the situation safe for members, the community and the suspects themselves.''
The Fugitive Taskforce will check forensic records to identify crimes committed by parole violators and fugitives, co-ordinate investigations throughout Victoria and liaise with Australian and international law enforcement agencies.
Investigators have already identified suspects who have fled to Ireland, Bosnia, Croatia and New Zealand.
Assistant Commissioner Fontana said the taskforce will run at least three investigative crews and target offenders committing violent crimes around Victoria.
Fugitive Taskforce team leader Detective Sergeant Mick Gunn said, ''We find people, that's what we do. We are here and we are not going away, so get used to it.''
''We don't care where they are in Australia, we will follow them - we don't lose interest.''
He said the taskforce would reactivate old cases to search for fugitives who have been missing for years. ''We'd rather die trying than die wondering.''
The number of parole violators arrested by police in Victoria has jumped from 269 in 2009 to 579 last year.
Detective Sergeant Gunn said police, case workers and the Adult Parole Board would work together closely to identify parole violators likely to commit further crimes.
''We are acting in a more timely manner now. If we get them early, they may only spend a short time in jail. If they continue to reoffend, they will get long sentences, putting greater pressure on the system.
''If we do not actively target these people, then they will continue to commit offences from shoplifting to murder.''
Since 2009 police have identified and arrested more than 1500 parole violators.
The unit has worked closely with friends and families to persuade many of the violators to surrender voluntarily.
''Most just want one last cigarette before they come in. We don't mind,'' Detective Sergeant Gunn said.

CHIPPENHAM started 2013 with another bold attacking performance to put their struggling National Three South West visitors to the sword at Allington Field on Saturday.
The home side strengthened their position in the top half of the table with a seven-try performance, flanker Frazer Clilverd and wing Ryan Surry both touching down twice.
Harlequins arrived just one place off the bottom of the table, but were by no means lambs to the slaughter, their pack occasionally getting the upper hand in a see-saw battle with their opposite numbers.
Chippenham though, were far more clinical out wide, with some fine handling helping to pick their way through a competitive Quins defence.
A breathless start saw neither side able to capitalise on promising attacking positions, but the hosts grabbed the lead as full-back Sam Saunders landed a 30m penalty from in front of the posts on six minutes.
Oxford still looked dangerous at this stage, but ultimately the first-half damage they suffered was largely self-inflicted.
Surry crossed for his opener on nine minutes, reading a telegraphed wide pass from Quins fly-half Will Hilton and strolling in under the posts from 70 metres untouched, Saunders converting.
Ironically, it was while pushing for the second try that the home side coughed up possession for Oxford's response.
After winning a scrum against the head, Chippenham spilled the ball underneath their opponents' posts and wing Pete Haiatokoua galloped up the touchline. The retreating Saunders scragged him a yard or two short of the line, but the ball popped up for centre Luke Evans to touch down.
Hilton landed a fine conversion and both sides were reduced to 14 men on 20 minutes after a flare-up resulted in Quins' Matt Edney and Chippenham lock Mat Bye being sin-binned by referee Devon Simon Lane – the latter inexplicably as he appeared to not be involved.
Oxford attacked again, but were this time picked off by home centre Gary Champion, who went clear and offloaded to midfield partner Rupert Crockett to steamroller of the line.
Saunders added the extras and three minutes before the interval the third try arrived as Bobby Lyons found Surry, who chipped up the line allowing skipper Lyons to drop on the ball.
Two tries within five minutes of the restart ended the match as a contest, the first arriving somewhat fortuitously as fly-half Harry Taylor's miscued kick to touch bounced infield. Surry robbed his opposite number and Crockett continued the move before finding Clilverd with a deft scoring pass.
Three minutes later, Saunders broke into Oxford territory and as a ruck was formed, scrum-half Lewis Surry intelligently chipped into space for his brother to gather and score his second, Saunders converting.
The final half-hour was a scrappy affair, several; minutes of Oxford pressure coming to nothing against a rock-solid home defence before both teams finished with a flourish.
First, home flanker John Boddington dotted down as the pack rumbled over from a lineout drive, Saunders adding the extras, then Quins hit back through full-back Harrold Whittington, Hilton with the conversion.
Finally, more good hands saw Crockett chip ahead for Clilverd to gather and go over out wide.

TPWD Game Warden Field Notes
The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
Boat Theft Ring Busted Up — A Guadalupe County Game Warden has investigated a case that involved the theft of five boats and the attempted theft of 14 other boats on Lake McQueeney. The warden recovered three stolen boats floating on the lake. That investigation led to other boats that had been damaged or vandalized. At 9 p.m. the same day, the warden received a call about a boat wreck on the lake. Within minutes he was at the scene. The search and immediate investigation revealed no boat operator, passengers or injuries. The following day other wardens assisted the first warden with the boat accident investigation. It appeared that someone had released the boat at full throttle from the shore with no one on board. It made a u-turn and returned back to shore, causing extensive damage to a boat dock and boat. Around noon, the warden was interviewed by a San Antonio TV station about the incident, and the news was aired at 6 p.m. With no suspects in the case, TPWD solicited the assistance of the viewing public and gave phone numbers where people could call with any information about the incident. Another stolen boat was recovered as well. By about 7 p.m., a call with information came in. With the assistance of the Guadalupe County S.O., three suspects were arrested by 8 p.m., and two other suspects were arrested later. A total of five suspects were arrested (one adult and four juveniles). To date, a total of 19 boats were reported stolen or damaged.
Enforcement of New Law in Motion — One set of game wardens held a work detail to enforce the new law (SB155), which prohibits vehicles in riverbeds and they focused on the Nueces and Frio Rivers. The Nueces and Frio Rivers are in Dimmit, Edwards, Frio, Uvalde and Zavala counties. The wardens filed a total of 15 cases: five for operating a vehicle in a riverbed, two water safety violations, no life jackets, one for no fishing license, and seven hunting violations. They also incarcerated a violator for operating and possession of a stolen ATV.
Top Dog — Recently, a Palo Pinto County Game Warden and his drug detecting dog responded to a call for assistance by Department of Public Safety officers who had an 18-wheeler stopped on Interstate 20. Upon arrival, the warden found that DPS had placed a suspicious bag on the ground for investigation. The warden parked his vehicle about 30 feet from the truck and let the dog out of his kennel. The dog went straight for the bag. It took some time to count, but money found inside it ended up totaling $570,230. The driver admitted it was drug money. Charges are pending.

Hello beutiful IGN readers, I have not posted a theory, let alone a Mario theory in a while. Recently I have been posting way too many boring update posts which has been doing nothing but filling your IGN user inbox with crap you don't care about. The reason I have not been posting theories in a while is because, to be honost, I don't have an theory ideas at the moment...
I honestly am out of theory ideas so I am just complaining about LiveFyer right now
Currently I am running in my Mario nerd noggin to come up with a new theory, but nothing so far. I don't like to steal theories and expand upon them and call them my own... like other game theorists out there (looking at you Matthew Patrick). No, I like to stay original to my own game theory ideas. I WAS going to do a Mario timeline blog, but recently two other theorists made videos theorizing about the Mario timeline and I don't want to make it look like I am stealing from them, let alone me making my own version because they recently made theirs (Darn it Matthew Patrick...).
However, I do have a theory that I will be posting on my next blog. The problem is, it will cause much debate in the comment section. I know there will be debate in the comment section of my next blog so I want to make sure when I do make it that everyone keeps there cool. When and if there is debating, I need everyone to keep an open mind. I do not want anyone making fun of anyone else's ideas or beliefs. I love debating when everyone is friendly and open to each other. No name calling and no use of harsh pics or gifs.
Before you ask:
"Is the blog related to gaming?" Yes, very much so.
"Will you be making fun of anyone or persons ideas in the blog?" No I will not.
"Will you try to make fun of any game franchise that someone loves to prove your point?" No.
"Is it controversial because it has mature material (swearing, nudity, drugs, etc)?" No, the blog will be all age appropriate.
I am planning to write the blog soon, and I know I have viewers of mine that are mods so I trust they will make sure my comment sections stay clean. I wanted to make this blog to make sure everyone would be told to act kindly just in case.
If you have any questions ask below.
Thanks for reading!!!

Laser correction for myopia and astigmatism using an excimer laser has been performed with success for several years.
During the last 2 years, a new method for correction of refractive errors has emerged. In the method (ReLex) a femtosecond laser is used to cut a lenticule in the corneal stroma that is subsequently removed. For simple myopia this method has proved effective and on par with excimer baser LASIK. However, it remains to be determined if ReLEx is as effective in the treatment of astigmatism.
In the study, patients with high astigmatism are treated with conventional LASIK for astigmatism in one eye and with ReLEx for astigmatism in the other.

A California legislator wants to shrink considerably the severance pay for California school superintendents.
Assemblyman Luis Alejo, D-Watsonville, introduced a bill Monday that would limit the amount superintendents receive for severance to only three months' salary, rather than the existing 18 months.
"The combination of high-paying salaries and high superintendent turnover is an issue that does not receive enough attention," Alejo said in a news release announcing the move Monday. "The two factors combine to create a problem of excessive severance packages at the expense of students and taxpayers."
Also, in response to recent developments in the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District, Alejo plans to amend the bill before committee to include a provision that would limit paid leaves of absence for superintendents.
MPUSD Superintendent Marilyn Shepherd was granted a paid leave of absence through the remainder of her tenure with the district, set to end in June. The estimated cost to the district for her leave is about $93,000.
Alejo is proposing this legislation in response to a report by the Sacramento Bee, which points out the highest paid superintendent in California last year was the superintendent of Orange County schools, who earned $322,159. The superintendent of Los Angeles Unified, the largest school district in California with more than half a million students, received $275,000 in pay.
In Monterey County, Shepherd was the second-highest paid K-12 administrator. At $223,315, she was behind only the Carmel Unified School District superintendent, who earns $224,869 a year.
Alejo is also citing a recent report published in the American Educational Research Journal, which found that 45 percent of California superintendents left their jobs between 2006 and 2009. The high superintendent turnover not only hurts district stability but also its pocketbook.
"Considering the state's fiscal hardships, these are amounts that schools cannot afford to pay," Alejo said. "By placing limits on cash settlements and paid leaves for superintendents, we can save money for students, begin to improve our schools' administrative processes, and demonstrate fiscal discipline in the administration of taxpayer dollars."
MPUSD Board President Curt Parker said the bill to cap superintendent's severance pay is a good idea. But he believes the part aimed at MPUSD is not well informed.
"When I talked to (Alejo), his mind was already made up," Parker said. "He wasn't calling to get information."
MPUSD trustees will hold a special meeting Tuesday to continue the process of hiring a new top administrator. Among the items is the approval of a profile survey to circulate to the public that asks what type of qualities and background the public would like to see in the new superintendent.
Board members will also be asked to approve a timeline to complete the hiring process. The idea is to have someone in place by mid-April.
Parker believes the plan is doable, since the position is already being advertised.
"The superintendents, the best ones, go first," he said. "We're trying to get our name out there so we can get the best people to apply. And (the candidates) want to know before they quit their other job that they have a job in this district."
The board meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. at the Instructional Materials Center, 540 Canyon del Rey, Del Rey Oaks.

When this was said, Anathapindika the householder wept and shed tears. Ven. Ananda said to him, "Are you sinking, householder? Are you foundering?"
"No, venerable sir. I'm not sinking, nor am I foundering. It's just that for a long time I have attended to the Teacher, and to the monks who inspire my heart, but never before have I heard a talk on the Dhamma like this."
[Sariputta:] '"This sort of talk on the Dhamma, householder, is not given to lay people clad in white. This sort of talk on the Dhamma is given to those gone forth."
"In that case, Ven. Sariputta, please let this sort of talk on the Dhamma be given to lay people clad in white. There are clansmen with little dust in their eyes who are wasting away through not hearing [this] Dhamma. There will be those who will understand it."

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 (RO4929097) when given together with temozolomide and radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma. Enzyme inhibitors, such as gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097, may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 together with temozolomide and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Maximum-tolerated dose defined as the highest dose studied for which the incidence of dose limiting toxicity is less than 33% using National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria [ Time Frame: 28 days ]The percentage of patients who experience toxicity at each dose level will be calculated, with a 95% confidence interval.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Changes in MRI parameters [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 4 years ]Perfusion and diffusion-based MRI parameters including but not restricted to blood volume, mean and median apparent diffusion coefficient and structural volumes will be analyzed. Results will be summarized, and mean and median values at different time points will be tabulated. Changes in such parameters will be checked for statistical significance and correlated with the disease status.
- Percent changes in serum YKL-40 levels and hair follicle HES1 levels [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 4 years ]Means and medians of all patients together will be calculated and tabulated for each time point, with depiction of standard deviations. A Wilcoxon test will be used to determine p value of changes in mean values of YKL-40 and hairy and enhancer of split 1, (Drosophila) (HES1), with a p value of less than 0.05 considered statistically significant.
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours ]Noncompartmental and/or compartmental methods will be used to calculate PK parameters of gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 and temozolomide from the plasma concentration-time data collected from each individual. Descriptive statistics (including number, mean and/or median, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and range) for PK parameters will be tabulated by dose level.
Other Outcome Measures:
- Expression of a variety of proteins through immunohistochemistry and/or real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and tumor tissue culture [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years ]Analyses will include comparison of results before and after exposure to gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 (Wilcoxon rank sum test), as well as status of the Notch pathway and cancer stem cells in a control population of 20 untreated patients (Mann Whitney test).

Dear Members,
Abhidhamma View : Purification of Virtue
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @SariputtaDhamma/JTN/Mult]
CMA IX, p. 347-348:
Purification of virtue consists of the four kinds of purified virtue, namely: 1) virtue regarding restraint according to the Paatimokha; 2) virtue regarding restraint of the sense faculties; 3) virtue consisting in purity of livelihood; and 4) virtue connected with the use of the requisites.
These four kinds of purified virtue are explained with reference to the life of a bhikkhu, a Buddhist monk.
Virtue regarding restraint according to the Paatimokha: the Paatimokha is the code of fundamental disciplinaryrules biding upon a Buddhist monk. This code consists of 227 rules of varying degrees of gravity. Perfect adherence to the rules laid down in the Paatimokha is called "virtue regarding restraint according to the Paatimokha".
Virtue regarding restraint of the sense faculties: means the exercise of mindfulness in one's encounter with sense objects, not allowing the mind to come under the sway of attraction towards pleasant objects and repulsion towards unpleasant objects.
Virtue consisting in purity of livelihood: deals with the manner in which a bhikkhu acquires the necessities of life. He should not acquire his requisites in a manner unbecoming for a monk, who is dedicated in purity and honesty.
Virtue connected with the use of the requisites: means that the bhikkhu should use the four requisites --robes, almsfood, lodging, and medicines-- after reflecting upon their proper purpose.
Love Buddha's dhamma,

Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
There are two major goals of this project:
- Comparison of DXA and QCT for diagnosis of bone loss in CKD-5 patients and determination of the prevalence of low bone turnover in CKD-5 patients with bone loss.
- Identification of the optimal combination of noninvasive tests for definition of the turnover component of ROD.

Further study details as provided by Hartmut Malluche, MD, University of Kentucky:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Comparison of DXA and QCT for diagnosis of bone loss in CKD-5 patients and determination of the prevalence of low bone turnover in CKD-5 patients with bone loss. [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Because each method (QCT or DXA) yields a dichotomous response (bone loss: yes or no), the proportion of patients with a bone loss will be compared between the 2 methods by using the McNemar statistic for correlated proportions.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Identification of the optimal combination of noninvasive tests for definition of the turnover component of ROD. [ Time Frame: 4 years ]A stepwise logistic model will be used to determine which combination of PTH and bone markers best predicts low bone turnover.

Study Population
patients from dialysis clinics
Inclusion Criteria:
- Aged 18 years or older;
- Chronic maintenance dialysis of at least 3 months' duration;
- Mental competence;
- Willingness to participate in the study;
- Calcidiol levels within normal range.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnancy;
- Systemic illnesses or organ diseases that may affect bone (except type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus);
- Clinical condition that may limit study participation (e.g., unstable angina, respiratory distress, infections).
- Chronic alcoholism and/or drug addiction;
- Participation in a study of an investigational drug during the past 90 days;
- Allergy to tetracycline.
- Planning to move out of the area within 2 years of the study;
- On active transplant list;
- Treatment within last 6 months with drugs that may affect bone metabolism (except for treatment with calcitriol, vitamin D analogs and/or calcimimetics).
- Calcidiol level below the normal range. The current routine clinical practice in our dialysis clinics is to check calcidiol status twice yearly and supplement with vitamin D according to serum calcidiol levels. It is therefore unlikely that a substantial number of patients will be excluded due to this exclusion criterion.

David Muth is a New Orleans native who has spent a lifetime in the Mississippi River delta and on the Gulf coast, studying its geology, ecology, plants, wildlife, history and culture. He took his degree in history at University of New Orleans and became professionally interested in the connection between culture and environment in the context of the delta. He worked for 30 years with the National Park Service at Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in south Louisiana, eventually managing its natural and cultural resource programs. At the beginning of 2011, he joined the National Wildlife Federation and is the Director of the Gulf Restoration program.
The program works in all five Gulf states, combining advocacy, outreach, education, science, and communications, along with state and federal policy initiatives, to bring about comprehensive, large-scale restoration of Gulf ecosystems, from the Everglades to the Rio Grande. In Louisiana it involves a joint effort among the federation, Environmental Defense Fund and the National Audubon Society, along with local partners like the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, the Louisiana Wildlife Federation, the Nature Conservancy of Louisiana, and Restore or Retreat, to bring about comprehensive, systemic restoration of the coast by reconnecting the Mississippi River and its life giving sediment to the dying delta.
The Gulf Restoration Program is working to find and seek consensus and national support for an ecologically sound and sustainable program to restore the health of the Gulf and to do so in a way that preserves the communities and culture of Gulf coastal communities to the maximum extent possible.

Fairfax County Gang Prevention Summit Brings Community Together
Fairfax County Office of Public
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Feb. 25, 2005
Fairfax County Gang Prevention Summit
Brings Community Together
Fairfax County elected officials and county government employees joined several hundred residents, community-based organizations and business leaders as they converged on the Fairfax County Government Center today to discuss gang prevention, intervention and suppression. The summit, sponsored by the Fairfax County Coordinating Council on Gang Prevention, focused on coordinating existing gang prevention and intervention efforts between county government, schools and community groups.
In a letter distributed to summit participants, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly stated, "Fairfax County has the lowest crime rate of any jurisdiction in the United States. The one cloud on the horizon, however, is the growing threat of gangs. To address this threat we need to involve the whole community and we need to focus on prevention and intervention efforts as well as suppression and law enforcement."
Summit participants engaged in discussions centered on a recommended gang-prevention model created by the U.S. Department of Justice. Established on the idea that no single program can end gang violence, the model outlines five key strategies: mobilizing the community, providing opportunities, social intervention, gang suppression, and organizational change and development. While other jurisdictions across the country use this model, Fairfax County is one of the first in the region to use it.
Representatives from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) provided a presentation about their gang prevention model. Participants first assembled in small groups to focus on each of the five pillars of the model and then came together to hear the ideas generated from the small group discussions. These ideas will be incorporated into the recommendations the Coordinating Council on Gang Prevention will make to the Board of Supervisors in June.
Established by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, the Fairfax County Coordinating Council on Gang Prevention was founded on the premise that gang prevention requires a community-based approach. The council is responsible for the coordination and oversight of the county's gang prevention and intervention efforts, and the group reports directly to the Board of Supervisors.
For more information about the Fairfax County Coordinating Council on Gang Prevention, visit the Fairfax County Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/gangprevention/summit or call 703-324-8786, TTY 711. The full text of the chairman's letter and the OJJDP PowerPoint presentation are also available at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/gangprevention/summit.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Schizophrenia: When Hospital Care is Needed
People who have
schizophrenia sometimes have to spend time in the
hospital. This can be because of severe symptoms or for other reasons.
You may have to go to the hospital if you:
Doctors will try to find the best way to get you back to your
family and community as soon as possible.
Sometimes there is conflict about
receiving treatment in a hospital. In this case, you need to think about your
loved one's legal rights. States have laws that protect people who have mental
health problems from being forced to go to a hospital or get treatment. These
laws are different in each state. Get to know the laws in your state.
Working with a mental health care expert and putting your loved one into
a hospital may not be an easy thing to do. But it might be the only thing you
can do to prevent your loved one from harming himself or herself or others. In
the hospital, your loved one will get treatment to help relieve symptoms and
ease the danger.

Courtesy Kourtney Kardashian
Kim Kardashian isn't the only bangin' Kardashian sister these days. Elder sister Kourtney shared shots of her freshly-cut fringe on Instagram Tuesday.
"Peter Savic cut me some bangs," she posted to her account — and her excitement about her new do was evident in the myriad follow-up photos (and saucy video) she shared on her Twitter feed.
We've been faked out by Kardashian bangs in the past, so we're withholding our judgement on Kourtney's until we see an official shot. But we think if these aren't real, they should be — the soft, face-framing style really suits her!
Tell us: Do you like Kourtney with bangs?
