Woman Who PeepsRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I see a woman, she peeps in and disappears
full of brilliance, she feeds the child's fears
how can water contain such fire?
Who is she?
HintShe is not a real person.
AnswerI see a woman she peeps in and disappears (lightning flashing through your windows)
Full of brilliance, she feeds a child's fears (many children are afraid of lightning)
How can water (a thunderstorm) contain such fire (lightning).

A sexual deviant has been sentenced at Bradford Crown Court for hoarding depraved images of child pornography and bestiality.
James Middleton was told by the judge: "The public are rightly disgusted by this activity and victims must be protected."
Middleton, 24, who was formerly resident in Mill Close, Settle, pleaded guilty at Skipton Magistrates Court to five charges of making indecent photographs and videos of children, between April, 2010, and September, 2012.
They included 439 photographs and three videos at the lowest, level one; 25 photographs and two videos at level two; 111 photographs and six videos at level three, and 147 photographs and 33 videos at level four. They also included seven photographs at the highest level five, that included sadism or bestiality.
Middleton admitted a further charge of possessing 60 prohibited images of a child, between April, 2010, and September, 2012, and possession of 30 extreme pornographic images of people and animals.
Yesterday Judge Jonathan Durham Hall QC sentenced Middleton, now of Bury, to a three-year community order with supervision and a requirement to attend a sexual offender treatment programme.

Ludwick says shoulder problems are in past
Reds outfielder displays impressive power stroke in Tuesday's loss to KC
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Upon exiting Tuesday's game vs. the Royals after five innings, Reds left fielder Ryan Ludwick got ice for his left throwing shoulder like he usually does. His surgically-repaired right shoulder was not packed with even a single ice cube.
"I haven't iced it all spring. That's how good it feels," Ludwick said. "I haven't been in the training room, except for stretching it. I feel great. It's not aching. Let's knock on wood to keep it that way."
Ludwick tore the labrum in his right shoulder on Opening Day vs. the Angels last season and missed four months to rehab from surgery.
In the first inning on Tuesday came the evidence that Ludwick's shoulder is better. With two outs, he slugged a 2-1 pitch from Royals starter Danny Duffy for a two-run home run to left field that carried well over the bullpen and on to the berm of grass behind it. It was Ludwick's first homer of Spring Training.
"I hit it real good. It was on the line," said Ludwick, who is 3-for-10 (.300) in four games this spring. "It got out of here quickly. ... It was pretty loud, too."
"He ain't lying," interjected teammate Todd Frazier, sitting one locker over.
When a reporter noted that Ludwick had said he may not have had his power back after he returned from the disabled list in August, Ludwick interrupted and showed some irritation.
"I never said 'may not.' I did not have my power. I hit two home runs in [129] at-bats," Ludwick said. "You guys don't know. You guys aren't professional athletes. You've never had shoulder surgery or rehabbed for four months. If you don't lift a weight, how are you going to have power? All you had to do was add two-plus-two, you know? I was able to lift this offseason. I'm strong right now. It's a completely different body. You guys make what you want of it. I feel like it's a broken record right now. We keep talking about it."
Ludwick, 35, said he was motivated by people who doubted that he could return and be a productive power hitter again. He hit 26 home runs with 80 RBIs during his first season with Cincinnati in 2012.
"I've seen a lot of stuff that 'he's getting older," Ludwick said. "'He's coming off the shoulder surgery. People who have shoulder surgeries late in their career don't tend to come back from them.' Fortunately for me, it's my non-throwing arm. I've been through five other major surgeries. It's not like I haven't been through it before."

Sodium Level
What is a normal sodium level? At what point is the level considered to be dangerously low? As a cancer patient, is this indicative of anything?
Each laboratory has different ranges for normal sodium levels, so what is considered low is different for every laboratory. In general, one starts to monitor sodium levels that are in the mid 120's range, because if it gets any lower it may cause confusion. If it is extremely low, say less than 110 or so, occasionally one may have a seizure. If low sodium levels start to cause problems, there are guidelines for giving IV fluids to help correct the problem and there is also a medication that is helpful. However, many people have a sodium level in the 120's range and have no problems from it.
Some types of cancers produce proteins that cause sodium levels to be low. Sometimes a sodium level will drop when someone has pneumonia or any other type of lung problem, including cancer. Occasionally, cancer in the brain can cause a low sodium. Medications can also decrease sodium levels.
You can't really say too much about the cancer based on just a sodium level, because so many "non-cancerous" conditions can affect the sodium. One needs a physical examination, other blood work, and radiographic studies to determine if the cancer is growing or shrinking.

About 600 students at Lincoln Elementary School in Salt Lake City received gifts Thursday as part of the Utah Central Credit Union's annual drive.
On homemade ornaments that were hanged from trees at the credit union branch offices, students asked for two presents each. Visitors to the credit union then chose ornaments and bought the gifts. Each student requested a "want" and a "need."
The school has a large refugee population and nearly 88 percent of Lincoln's students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, and many students asked for basic items such as blankets, pencils, pillows, coats and food.

Neighborsgo's Gloria Hernandez reports:
If you're an Irving resident excited about library access, this is your lucky day.
Ground was broken this morning for a $9.7 million high-tech South Irving Library on Schulze Drive. The library would be a part of a master plan to build four full-service libraries within four miles of every Irving resident.
That's right: Four miles.
These additions should be welcome news for book-lovers in the Irving area. On Dec. 31, Irving residents lost big-box book retailer Barnes & Noble.
Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne said the South Irving Library will serve as a catalyst to spur redevelopment in Irving's Heritage Crossing District. The South Irving Library is expected to be completed May 2014 and be a Silver LEED-certified building.

Mouth Diseases
Reddish Color on Middle of the Tongue
Hi My mom`s (age 70) tongue has a red color patch (1" x .5" in size) and has muscular feelings or kind of sprain sometimes. no pain. can not eat much hoter food. had dental issue and removed tooths 4 months before. What could be the issue? Which doctor is the best for that? Is it a symptom of any kind of cancer?
First off, I would suggest that you have your mom seen by the dentist that removed the four teeth.
The reason for this is that this practitioner saw your mom prior to extractions and probably would have a good idea of the status of the oral cavity and tongue before this treatment.
Without seeing your mother, what you are describing is either "Geographic tongue/Benign Migratory Glossitis", This is a superficial loss of the papillary covering of the dorsum of the tongue. This condition can be the result of many things, spicy foods, high temperature foods (Pizza burns), high acid content foods (tomatoes or citrus) a contact localized reaction (Lichenoid reaction) that can be caused by medications, allergens (corn, peanuts etc), dental materials, mouthwashes etc.
Finally she could also have a minor fungal infection (even though yeasts such as Candida sp. are normal inhabitants of the oral cavity sometimes they can change from a commensal inhabitant of the oral cavity to an opportunistic pathogen).The resultant infection can result in reddened mucosal surfaces and slight ulceration of the mucosal lining.
The burning is related to the loss of the "protective barrier" provided by the mucosal and epithelial covering. The "sprain" she complains of may be the result of her over using her tongue to compensate for the irritation.
To be safe I would have it evaluated to rule out a more ominous pathology like cancer of the tongue.
I hope this helps.

Gary Cooke has become the first contestant to be sent home from Celebrity Masterchef Ireland.
The Après Match star was eliminated from the competition after failing to impress judges Nick Munier and Dylan McGrath in the 'You on a Plate' and Crêpe Suzette cooking challenges.
While Munier described Cooke's salmon and potato dish as "rustic", McGrath was less kind, saying it looked like it "fell from the roof".
Speaking to RTÉ TEN; Cooke said of making Crêpe Suzette, the classic French dessert: "I didn't have a clue really what it was. There was at much chance as me being able to make it as piloting a plane! I didn't know what to do."
The comedian admitted that he didn't fancy his chances of getting far in the competition, and downplayed his cooking ability, saying: "I'd say on a scale of 1 to a 100, I'd have be about a 3 or a 4. I can make pasta!"
However, Cooke wasn't too phased by having Nick and Dylan judge his cooking, explaining that it was "kind of hilarious really, because somebody who doesn't really cook having their food judged by a Michelin starred chef and another 5-star caterer is just intensely ridiculous."
He added of the judges: "They're both pretty blunt and direct. They're a good laugh actually, they're good fun. I enjoyed working with them both. As I say, there was nothing really at stake for me so I didn't care what they said."
When asked who he pegged to win the competition, Cooke said: "I suppose Aengus [Mac Grianna] seemed to be the best when I was there. Maia [Dunphy] seemed to be good, her visual presentation was fantastic. I thought they both seemed quite good."
Continuing in the Celebrity MasterChef competition are Aengus Mac Grianna, Maia Dunphy, Yvonne Keating, David Gillick, Conor Pope, Kamal Ibrahim and Tracy Piggott.
You can catch episode two of Celebrity MasterChef Ireland on Sunday July 21 at 9.30pm on RTÉ One.
MasterChef Ireland wish to thank Coppingers and Kal for all their assistance in the making of this programme

One of the best little radios I use to listen to sports coverage is my Roberts R 9924 portable radio. In the looks department it is nothing spectacular but it is a good decent and reliabale little radio I have owned for a while. It is probably looking a bit outdated by now to some people but to me it's one of the best.
What I personally really like about this radio is that it has a little socket for my headphones which means that not everyone on the bus has to listen to my chosen channel on my way back from work. I will use the aerial around the house or the office fully extended in order to give it a little boost and to help with the signal transmission. This radio is made from cheap bog standard plastic. Having said that however, it has been dropped more times than I can rememebr, and despite being made from cheap plastic it hasn't made it look too knocked or scratched, so it must be very hardwearing.
It runs from 2 x AA battteries but these can work out quite expensive so I choose to use the rechargeable ones. It is very easy to use and very lightweight to carrry about in my backpack. The sound quality for such a little radio is actually very good in my opinion. It is not tinny, as you might expect, but delivers excellent sound quality.
I paid about £14 for it a while ago now and I do own other poratble radios, but I have to say that this one is near to the top of my list of favourites.
I also like the fact that it comes with its won carrying handle and this has proven to be very useful for me over the years and has prevented me from actually dropping it more times than I have already. It has no digital display but this doesn't bother me as the reception is excellent at all times.
Overall I really rate this radio quite highly.
Over the years, Roberts have manufactured a range of reliable radios, from the old fashioned cabinet models to the modern receivers encompassing the latest digital technology. Today's review is for one of Roberts' simplest 'wireless' sets - the ultra portable R 9924. The R 9924 It isn't a isn't a DAB model, just a straightforward FM / MW / LW tuner which can be purchased online for only £14.99.
Design & Appearance
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Silver in colour, the R 9924 is built from a plastic which i've found can withstand the odd knock and drop. It's arguably not the prettiest looking device (silvery plastic isn't usually a great look), but neither is it overly offensive. Those who like to have a radio with them at all times will be pleased to know that the R 9924 feels light in the hand, and can just about fit into a trouser pocket. From the perspective of power consumption, the radio requires two AA batteries to operate, and these can potentially last for a long time - I often fall asleep with the radio on at a low volume, and find that i'll get a couple of months use before they need replacing. When listening to FM stations it's usually necessary to elevate the telescopic aerial - although that said, I can normally get away with putting it only half way up. Medium Wave doesn't require the aerial.
Audio Output, Features, & Reliability
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In terms of its sound quality, the R9924 is perfectly acceptable for spoken word use (excellent for sports coverage), but not so good for music. Due to the small size of the mono speaker, the device can't handle the mid to bassy frequencies especially well - but as a last resort it's just about acceptable. As it's such a basic model, the only additional feature is the headphone socket which is useful when you don't want your fellow travellers on the bus knowing what you're listening to. In terms of reliability, the radio has served me well, and I've found no technical difficulties regarding its performance.
Final Word
- - - - - - -
Overall, the Roberts R 9924 is a really good little radio which is especially handy during a trip to the beach. The great thing about the device is the fact it can pick up long wave - something which the majority of the other portable radios that i've owned in the past can't do. It may not sound like much of an achievement - but for test match cricket on Radio 2 it's a must!. Easy to use and recommended.
When it comes to technology I would say I am quite up to date. The Roberts R9924 portable radio certainly appears to be a very outdated and unsophisticated radio. I couldn't disagree in all fairness, with its basic look and 3-band feature with long wave. The front panel of the radio has a fairly large speaker on it, but the sound isn't the most inspiring! There is no Dolby Surround Sound here, thats for sure! On the front of the handheld radio is also the panel giving details on which station you are currently on, and helps when you are searching for a new station also. As this isn't a digital display it isn't as accurate as it could be, but priced at around £15 it isn't an all singing and all dancing music centre.
The Roberts R9924 takes two AA batteries, I use rechargable batteries as if I listen for a number of hours a day they can wear out quickly and the cost of batteries isn't cheap! After use I always ensure the radio is turned off properly to prevent unnecessary power use. When I find the desired radio station I find the signal to be strong enough to listen to it properly, but as I said this isn't crystal clear sound quality. The sound is lacking bass and treble, and the sound is very tinny, as you would expect with most budget radios. As the radio is portable it can easily be held in your hand, or put in a pocket or bag for easy carrying.
One positive with this radio is that it has a headphone socket, so you don't have to listen out loud all the time, which is a big no-no when using public transport! The telescopic aerial is useful for when I have the radio on in or around the home and large buildings, as it boosts the signal.
The radio is made from cheap plastic, but for a basic radio it meets my needs. The carrying strap comes in handy when I don't have a bag with me and wish to transport the radio, and overall for £15 it really cannot be knocked.
The one thing I must mention in this review is that digital radio MAY eventually take over and this format of radio will become obsolete. There were talks of a 2015 'digital radio switchover' but due to the signal problems with digital radio this is yet to be confirmed.
I had one of the roberts small compact portable radios to take with me when I wanted to listen to the radio and keep updated as well as for listening to music. I think for £15 it is not too bad and it works with no problems when you need it.
You can use the radio with batteries and it takes only 2 AA size ones. I think that batteries lasted well in this and they did not run down all the time. I had to make sure I switched the radio off right and that way I was sure that I was not wasting battery power.
The radio is small easy to transport and use and picks up signals ok. I think that the look is ok. Its not all that stylish but it is neat, tidy and fine for use away from home, holidays, in the garden, when working etc. The carry strap can be handy when you take the radio with you and I used it with no problems.
The radio can pick up lw, mw and fm signals and the dial to pick up the signal is easy to use. The fm signal is the best. The ariel can be put up for a better signal and I did most often have to do that to get the best signal. When I did that the sound was very clear and easy to listen to.
I don't think there is much base or treble balance to the radio but I didn't mind too much. It is functional enough but its nothing special in the sound dept it works and its not muffled.
You can hear it clear enough and when its on its not too bad on the old ears. It won't win any awards for best sound quality, but its not the worst sounding radio I have heard. You can put the volume up or down and the led will show when the radio is on.
If you want to use the radio and not annoy anyone near you, you can use the headphone input and that works fine. I used that with no problems and found it a good thing to be able to use.
Its easy to plug in a headset to it and the sound you get back when using the radio like that is ok. Its a good way to listen to the sports when you are out away from home as you can stick it in your pocket and listen with earphones on. Good for hen pecked lads out with the wife.
I would recommend the radio for its compact portability and ease of use. It fits in the palm of your hand ok or can be used with the carry strap. Even though there is only a single speaker on this the sound is good enough.
I wanted a little radio that I could keep in the kitchen with me so I could listen to music whilst I am cooking, and also to take upstairs with me to listen to whilst I'm cleaning or in the bath etc. I bought this one by Roberts on Amazon as it was one of the cheapest, all I wanted to do was listen to music on it now and again. It cost me £16, and I am glad I purchased it, I am really pleased with it.
It takes 2 AA batteries to work, and it is really small, compact and lightweight. You can also plug headphones into it too if you want. It looks quite cheap but its only to listen to music on whilst I'm cooking and cleaning. It feels quite study though, I don't think it would break easily if you dropped it.
It is grey in colour and has quite a long aerial. It also comes with a carry strap if you wanted to walk around with it. It is pocket sized so is ideal to carry around with you on the move.
This little radio was really easy to set up onto my favourite radio station, it only took a few minutes and the sound is excellent, and it is surprisingly loud for such a small thing. There is no crackling or anything, the sound is perfect. It works in every room in the house perfectly too.
I highly recommend this portable radio if you are thinking of buying one, it is so easy to set up and use, the sound quality is excellent and I would definitely purchase again if this one was to break!

"I am going to look for beads at the dollar stores and thrift stores. This will take a lot of beads to make a garland. I think I will use mine on my mantle instead of on my tree. I do have a lot of plastic pony beads already so I might start with those. The colors would look cute by some tiny white Christmas trees."
"What an adorable basket and great way to use up scraps of yarn. I did not even think of a yarn bowl but it would be perfect. I have to do that since I always have my yarn rolling all over the floor. Easy pattern to follow and you can customize it as well. Thank you."
"Wow! All I need to buy is the coconut oil and I am all set. I have plenty of green tea in my pantry. I drink it all the time. I am super sensitive and like to make my own scrubs. This will be perfect. And smell nice as well. Thank you."

We are in Charlottesville VA
Stunning mentalism effect! Everyone loves to be a winner, and this great effect combines a terrific card prediction with a lotto scratch-off ticket!
Here's the effect: You start with a deck of cards and a pile of unscratched Lotto tickets on the table. Your spectator names a card in the deck, for example, the Eight of Hearts. You spread the deck of cards and show that all the cards have numbers written on them, and all are different.
Next, you spread the cards face-up and pull out the Eight of Hearts. On the back of that card is the number 36.
You give your spectator one of the LOTTO scratch cards from the table and the spectator chooses ANY row horizontal, vertical or even diagonal. He picks a row and scratches but... unfortunately, none of the numbers revealed is a 36.
However, you point out that if the numbers in the scratched row are added up, they total 36!
And what is more amazing, the spectator scratches the remaining spaces on the card and ALL rows in ALL directions total the number 36! In fact, there are more than 30 different ways to total 36!
You will receive 60 special lotto tickets (so you can perform it 60 times) and an instruction book with many tips and ideas on how to present this effect.
You supply the playing cards.Sorry, refills are not available. If you need more, please purchase the trick again.
Build this into a full routine as suggested in the manufacturer's demo video by using it with Trilogy or ValiDATE. See the links to those magic effects below.

In most cases current accounts provide instant access, which means you do not have to agree to notify your bank or building society when you wish to withdraw funds and there are no penalties for doing so. Typically you can withdraw your money anytime with an ATM card or directly from the cashier or online if you have access to internet banking. Current accounts with instant access allow a fast-paced cash flow to exist, with in-comings and out-goings coming and going as they please.
The tables on this page are designed to make the task of comparing different instant access current accounts much simpler:
Santander 123 Current Account
B Current Account
First Direct 1st Current Account
Santander Everyday Current Account
Yorkshire Bank Current Account Signature
NatWest Select Current Account
Royal Bank of Scotland Select Current Account
It is usually the case that instant access current accounts have low interest rates, especially lower than that of savings accounts. This is why it is a good idea to have a savings account as well as an instant access current account. If you have access to internet banking it is often possible to set up a linked account where surplus funds can be transferred into your savings account.

Collingwood playmaker Dale Thomas is no certainty to play again in 2013 after he and the club jointly decided surgery was the best option to remedy an ankle problem.
The Magpies have also confirmed their reigning best-and-fairest winner, Dayne Beams, will be missing until at least round 14 - after their mid-season bye - due to a slower-than-expected recovery from the quadricep injury that has prevented him playing so far this season.
Collingwood director of football Geoff Walsh confirmed on Tuesday morning its stance of last week to give Thomas a fortnight's break, in an attempt to alleviate ankle soreness, had changed.
As a result the 25-year-old was to undergo surgery on Tuesday morning to repair a hole in the ligament which runs along the side of his right ankle. The expected recovery time of three to four months will mean Thomas, at best, will return "about round 20-ish".
"I know last week we said we'd give Dale two weeks' off with his training load and see how that goes. In reflection and discussion with specialists . . . and the player himself over the weekend the optimism about how successful that would have been was only moderate. But we know that the operation will be a success, albeit he'll be out for a longer term obviously," Walsh said.
"The diagnosis is if the rehab goes well he'll be back for the last few rounds of the season."
Walsh stressed Thomas had been influential in the decision to turn to surgery, which he stressed was unrelated to the right-ankle surgery he had in late November that delayed his start to 2013.
"We involved Dale in the discussions on the weekend and I think he was much more positive about . . . getting it done now so that he knew he'd get a good result and then be able to play, albeit deep into the season, rather than hope that after two or three weeks it was going to be in a state that allowed him to resume."
Asked whether it was more likely than not that Thomas would not return this season, Walsh replied: "The surgeons have a contrary view to that."
Thanks for all the well wishes!0 Op went well, resting up at the minute & plotting my path for a late season return! #smokeyforthebrownlow— Dale Thomas (@DT_13) May 21, 2013
Walsh also rejected the suggestion the extended convalescence period could be an opportunity to resume contract negotiations with Thomas, who is out of contract and said before the season he has keen to show some better form before signing a new deal.
"I wouldn't have thought the two were connected, no," he said.
Walsh said the delay in Beams return had been triggered by a desire to increase his training workload. Scans on the injury he suffered in the week of Collingwood's season-opener against North Melbourne revealed the "scar tissue around the injury is not robust enough to push him forward to the next level (of intensity) of his training".
Walsh said the 23-year-old's immediate training regimen would be reduced, rather than increased as planned, because of advice that "there was a danger we'd set him back to square one" if they did not.
"The scans on the weekend, which were a bit of a surprise, was that it wasn't scarring up the way we'd hoped," he said. "We've taken a really conservative approach there, pulled him back for a couple of weeks and said 'Let's see how things are after the bye'."
Collingwood has struggled to cover the absences in its midfield, but in and under ball-winner Luke Ball returned for his first game after a knee reconstruction against the Cats and performed well in Collingwood's six-point triumph.
The Magpies take on Sydney at the MCG this week before travelling to play the resurgent Lions at the Gabba. Their final two games before their bye are against league strugglers the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne.
Run and gone: key Magpies with injury problems
Tyson Goldsack: (hip) Utility hasn't played since round five.
Alan Toovey: (knee) Season ended in round five.
Luke Ball: (knee) Just played his first game in over a year.
Ben Johnson: (calf) Three games, just returned in the reserves.
Alex Fasolo: (foot) Three games, out for the season.
Lachie Keeffe: (knee) No games in 2013. On long road back from knee reconstruction.
Dale Thomas: (ankle) Late start, five games, then another major injury.
Clinton Young: (hamstring) yet to play, weeks away.

First I thank everybody for providing feedback on Sprinkler Controller Example I posted recently. I have attempted now Boiler Controller example and posting it now for your feedback. The only thing I know I haven't done this time is adding vi documentation for Main.vi. This is because I wanted to take exactly four hours and see how much I could finish. So my apologies and I will definitely be adding more documentation in future.
This time I am only struggling generating events at certain values of sliders and knobs. Consequently, failing to finish full functionality in allocated time. Will really appreciate comments!
Austin, I attached the results of the vi analizer (the exam graders will run this too!) Essentially you've got some issues and I'll walk through 1 sub vi with you. Lets Take Controller_File IO.vi
First the name- Decorating your names with scope is kind of silly when using projects "File IO.vi on Boiler Controller.lvproj" is sufficient wouldn't you say?
It looks like you tried to make an action engine- where is the USR? Personally I'd populate a USR with File Name in the initialize case (and since you'll call Initialize directly from Main- Pass in Main.vi's path- to meet the relative to main location requirement without all the stripping)
Error handleing- WWYT? pass error though with error in =error! that error you just through out might have been important
A couple things here- Check if File or Folder exists is right on the advanced file function pallate and may have been a better choice to drive your case selector. Watch your wire bends and- if the file open worked you left the referance open! This is a memory leak. Why did you unbundle the error status rather than driver the case with the cluster? (of course using Check if File or Folder exists would never return an error)
In the Write case you have some sloppy wiring too but What is with the clear errors vi that has no error in wired to it Now if you passed the error wired to the outside case into the guts you'ld have a much cleaner AE
The FP: Chosing the Arial 12 pt font was unwise as you'll see when you load the VI Analizer results and read this "Some part of the display of the control labeled "Consumer Datatype" does not use a specified font. If you are using a font other than Application, System, or Dialog font, this could cause problems when porting this VI to another system that does not have the proper font(s) installed."
Size your enums so that all selections display in the window I read "Initializ" in the Initialize case (1 too many i's by the way) and no-sir I don't think the decorations or labels on them aid the vi at all.
On the Plus side- your-VI documentation is clear and you mentioned you intend to come back to the FP obejects to add tips and discriptions.
Overall about a C- Go back through LabVIEW design patterns and Ben's Nugget on AEs and learn to use the VI analizer ( it'll help improve your style and documentation points on the test)
Hello Jeff
Thanks a million for reading and providing feedback. I am working further to improve documentation and will be using system font in future.
What is a USR? I could not find it through block diagram search?
I learnt to use now vi analyzer. Corrected most of the errors such as "font size, wire bends" and now they are removed from vi analyzer results. Good Start!
I am however struggling a little bit to remove following errors:
1) Dialog Control: The control labelled "source" is not a dialog-style control. Because of this, its appearance will not be palform-specific.
Source in this case is the string control in error in and error out cluster dragged on to the front panel from functions pallete. Do I really need to worry about this? VI analyzer returns same error for code and status controls of the error clusters.
2) Control Alignment: The control on this VI's front panel are not arranged in a manner similar to their location on the connector pane.
I had tried my best to arrange them in a manner similar to their location on the connector pane in the attached vi. Am I missing something here? ( I haven't used the top left terminal on the connector pane for this vi, but even if I had done, I would still get the same error)
I wouldn't worry too much about those two warnings, especially the first. As long as your controls are not randomly scattered all over the front panel and logically placed it should be fine. In your file io vi it looks perfect. VI Analyzer is much more finicky about things than any reasonable person would be. It is configurable so you can turn off warnings about things that you don't care about such as the non-system controls. Although NI graders probably run VI analyzer as part of the grading process I am sure they do not use the default settings and have most types of warnings turned off. They will probably look for overlapping objects, VIs with no documentation property, default icons, no comments on the block diagram, etc. Even if they see warnings they will use their own judgement.
My advice simplified as much as I can simplify it - If you write neat, documented and readable code using standard design patterns and it mostly works you will pass.

Glad to help a borther-in-wire out
USR is "Uninitialized Shift Register" This becomes the storage element for the Action Engine's Private data. Seriously, review Bens nugget and see how you could improve that sub-vi

Cataract Surgery to Obtain Human Lens Material for the Study of Nuclear Cataracts

- How to Read a Study Record
Cataract, in which the lens of the eye is opacified, is the major cause of blindness. This study will examine protein material of the lens called crystallins to try to determine what causes nuclear cataracts, a type of cataract that forms in the central lens nucleus.
Men and women age 45 years or older with a cataract may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened to determine what type of cataract they have and will undergo a complete eye examination, including a vision test, eye pressure test, and examination of the lens and retina.
Patients selected for study will have a complete physical and eye examination, including photography of various parts of the eye, and ultrasound measurements of the eye. They will then have cataract surgery, either with or without intraocular lens implantation, and will have follow-up examinations 1 week, 3 weeks, 5 weeks and 8 weeks after surgery.
Tissue from the lenses removed during surgery will be given to NEI scientists for research on the causes of age-related nuclear cataracts.
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Use of Human Lens Material for the Study of Nuclear Cataracts
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 1997
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|May 2002
Progress has been made in elucidating causative factors for some cataracts but little is yet known about those factors involved in development of aging-related nuclear cataracts. The predominant theory of nuclear cataractogenesis is that the lens crystallins accumulate covalent modifications which ultimately lead to increased light scattering. This theory is based on several lines of evidence. Crystallins, the predominant components of the lens, are present at very high concentration and determine the refractive properties of the lens. A relationship between crystallin alterations and cataract formation comes from studies on animal cataract models where mutations in crystallin genes have been identified. Numerous studies have also demonstrated that covalent modification of crystallins occurs in the human lens. These modifications are reported to be developmentally related, age related and/or the result of toxic environmental influences. Data from this lab demonstrated that the human lens crystallins undergo extensive covalent modification as part of normal lens fiber cell maturation. Crystallin modifications that cause cataracts would have to be superimposed on these normally occurring modifications.
We have begun a study under the protocol entitled "Use of Human Lens Material for Possible Causes of Cataract" to compare crystallins in nuclear cataracts with those in normal lenses. The goal was to identify uniquely altered crystallins, isolate the modified species and determine the covalent modifications that could possibly be involved in cataract formation. Surprisingly, our preliminary findings indicated that the pattern of protein spots on a 2-dimensional display of the total lens proteins (soluble, water insoluble and membrane) in the nuclear region of nuclear cataracts is essentially the same as found in the nucleus of normal lenses. Only the relative concentrations of these protein species varied. The number of pure nuclear cataracts available was too few 1) to determine the relationship between nuclear cataracts and crystallin covalent modification and 2) to establish the significance of concentration differences in crystallin species between normal lenses and nuclear cataracts. Therefore, the purpose of this protocol is to recruit enough subjects with pure nuclear cataracts to complete this study which should provide significant insights into the mechanisms underlying nuclear cataract.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|Child, Adult, Senior
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Patients with cataracts will be screened in order to determine eligibility.
Patients 45 years and older of either sex with clinically significant cataract will be admitted to this study.
Patients requiring cataract surgery should have either age related nuclear cataracts or cortical and/or posterior subcapsular cataract without nuclear cataract (controls).
Age related nuclear cataract is defined using LOCS II Clinical Classification as having Nuclear color of 0-2, Nuclear Opalescence of 2-5, Cortical Opacity 0-1, and PSC 0-1.
In addition, for controls, patients of either sex with clinically significant cortical or posterior subcapsular cataracts but having no nuclear cataract will also be recruited. These will have a LOCS grade of Nuclear Color 0-2, Nuclear Opalescence 0-1, Cortical 1-5, PSC 1.4.

text: Defense did just enough in win over Longhorns By Dave Hickman October 7, 2012 Story Share AUSTIN, Texas - West Virginia's defense will still be maligned and perhaps mocked across the nation after Saturday night's win over Texas. After all, the numbers don't lie.In two Big 12 games, West Virginia has surrendered an average of 54 points. That the offense averages 59 might render that statistic meaningless, but it is still out there, front and center to be ridiculed.But look closer at the defensive performance in that rousing 48-45 win over the Longhorns and there is encouragement to be had. Several times against Texas the defense came up with big, big stops. And with an offense like this one, that's all that is needed."The defense came up with some big stops in key situations,'' coach Dana Holgorsen said afterward. "I thought they showed a lot of improvement.''And after giving up 63 points and 700 yards a week before against Baylor, a lot of improvement was needed.Texas still cut through that defense at times. The bottom line is that Texas had the ball 12 times and either scored (seven times) or had a chance to score (one missed field goal) on all but four possessions.But every one of those four possessions was huge for the defense. It stopped the Longhorns twice on downs, forced a fumble (all in West Virginia territory) and forced a punt. Consider that on 12 WVU possessions, the Texas defense, far more touted, stopped only three drives, never got the Mountaineers on downs and forced only one punt (plus two fumbles)."When the offense struggled, we made plays,'' said WVU safety Darwin Cook. "And when we struggled, the offense made plays.'' On the two occasions West Virginia's defense forced Texas off the field on downs, both were because of big defensive plays, not offensive ineptitude. Karl Joseph blitzed and tipped a David Ash pass on third down and Ash was pressured and hit on a failed fourth-down throw in the first quarter at the WVU 44.Then in the fourth quarter, Josh Francis sack Ash to put the Longhorns in a bad situation and much-maligned cornerback Pat Miller broke up a fourth-down pass at about the 20-yard line with 8:09 to play and WVU leading 41-38."Yeah, there were a lot of people criticizing me personally,'' Miller said of the week leading up to the game. "But you just have to feed off of that.''Granted, the defense still had its soft spots. Texas abused the Mountaineers perhaps four or five times by running double post patterns in the middle of the field and slipping a back or someone else lined up inside into the wide-open space vacated on the short outside. By the end of the night, Ash had actually thrown for one more yard than the Heisman Trophy favorite Geno Smith (269-268, although Smith made up for it with four touchdowns).But the vaunted Texas running game that so concerned the Mountaineers didn't even fare as well as WVU's run game, gaining just 135 yards (Andrew Buie had 207 himself). Texas gained 404 yards, but in this league 404 yards should come with a "just'' before it. Going into the weekend, a 404-yard average in total offense would have ranked eighth in the 10-team Big 12 and is 91 yards less that Texas averaged. And once again that's all West Virginia and its offense needed.nn It was just silly how successful West Virginia was on fourth down, going 5-for-5 after having not converted a single one of four tries in the first four games.The Mountaineers came into the game leading the nation in third-down conversions but made just three of 12. But it didn't matter because the fourth downs pushed that to an eight-of-12 success rate.And every one of them led to a touchdown. Two came on the drive that gave WVU a 14-7 lead, including a 2-yard run by Buie from an I-formation with Smith under center - Don Nehlen football. The second came when Texas sacked Smith, but the play was wiped out because the UT coaches had called timeout on the sideline. Tavon Austin turned a short pass into a 40-yard TD on the do-over.Smith later completed an 11-yard pass to Austin on the drive that made it 21-7, then in the second half converted two more fourths on the drive that made it 41-38 and gave WVU the lead for good. They came on another 11-yard pass to Austin on fourth-and-6 and a quick-to-the-line Smith sneak that went for 12 yards on fourth-and-short.nnBRIEFLY: Tyler Bitancurt now probably holds the all-time record for kicks blocked (his own) at West Virginia. He had his seventh field goal blocked against Texas, then punted for the first time in his career and had it partially blocked. Hard to fault him, though, after he made two field goals that proved to be the difference in a three-point win. Highly-touted Anthony Fera of Texas can't say the same.The win was WVU's first over a Top 15 team on the road since the 17-14 win at Boston College all but saved the unbeaten 1993 regular season.Smith has now thrown at least three touchdowns in six straight games dating back to the Orange Bowl. He's also now thrown 259 straight passes without an interception, dating to the South Florida game at the end of the 2011 regular season.As for his receivers, Austin (10 catches, 102 yards) now has six straight games of double-digit receptions. And Stedman Bailey, with his three touchdown catches, now holds the single-season school mark with 13. He's played just five games and has seven left.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dphickman1.

Auburn junior tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen forced a fumble and recovered a fumble against South Carolina Saturday. The recovered fumble was a big reason the Tigers won.
With less than two minutes remaining in the game and the Tigers trailing by four, quarterback Barrett Trotter connected with Lutzenkirchen on a third-and-five play from the Gamecocks' 9-yard line. Lutzenkirchen caught the ball at the 4-yard line, was stripped of it at the 1-yard line, and recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown.
The score gave Auburn a 16-13 lead, one it would not relinquish in the final minute of the game as the Tigers beat the No.10-ranked Gamecocks in Columbia to improve to 4-1 on the season and 2-0 in the SEC.
Auburn sophomore Michael Dyer, who averaged 15 carries per game before Saturday, had a career-high 41 attempts for 141 yards and a touchdown. Dyer's 41 carries ties the Auburn single-game rushing attempts record with Cadillac Williams, who had 41 against Georgia in 2001.
Trotter's touchdown pass to Lutzenkirchen was one of the few bright spots on the day for the junior quarterback. Trotter completed 12-of-23 passes for 112 yards, the touchdown and two interceptions.
Auburn's defense held South Carolina sophomore running back Marcus Lattimore to 66 yards on 17 carries and a touchdown. Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia was just 9-of-22 passing for 160 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, and rushed for 62 yards on 10 attempts.
