July 18—The discovery of fossil remains of a hominid that lived in what is now Ethiopia between 5.2 and 5.8 million years ago are the subject of two articles in the July 12 issue of Nature. Hominid refers to the family of primates that includes all species on the "human" side of the evolutionary tree after the split from chimpanzees.
Researchers found the fossil remains of several of the ancient individuals along the foothills of the western margin of the southern Afar Rift, located in Ethiopia's Middle Awash study area. The Middle Awash is located about 140 miles northeast of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital city, and about 50 miles south of Hadar, where the 3.2-million-year-old "Lucy" fossils were discovered nearly 30 years ago.
Donald Johanson and Tom Gray discovered Lucy's fossil remains in 1974 at Hadar in Ethiopia. Her age is about 3.2 million years. Lucy was an adult female of about 25 years old. Approximately 40% of her skeleton was found, and the pelvis, femur (the upper leg bone) and tibia show her to have been bipedal (walking upright on two legs). She was about 107 cm (3'6") tall (small for her species) and weighed about 28 kg (62 lbs).
Fossils belong to new subspecies of early man
The team found the first fossils in 1997, with the latest one discovered this year. The fossil bones predate the oldest previously discovered human ancestor by more than a million years. The teeth and bone fragments apparently are from a hominid that emerged sometime after the split. The hominid is part of a newly named subspecies of early man called Ardipithecus.
While Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba is not the sought-after "Missing Link"—the yet-undiscovered creature that lived at the cusp of the evolutionary division between man and chimp—Yohannes Haile-Selassie, a doctoral candidate at the University of California at Berkeley, said the hominid certainly is very close to the branching point.
Based on a toe bone discovered among other fossils, Haile-Selassie has determined that the new subspecies Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba almost certainly walked on two legs when on the ground. The creature's teeth share more characters with all later-discovered hominids than with the teeth of all fossil and modern apes. The relatively large back teeth and narrow front teeth indicate that Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba ate less fruit and more soft leaves and fibrous food than his chimpanzee contemporaries, who were specialized frugivores.
Haile-Selassie believes Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba was about the size of a modern-day chimpanzee and about 20 percent larger than the "Lucy" specimen. Because neither the skull nor intact limb bones of Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba have been found, however, an artists' rendition of the creature is impossible at this time.
Giday WoldeGabriel, a geologist with Los Alamos National Laboratory, and his colleagues, characterized the creature's environment during its life in the Miocene era (5 to 6 million years ago) in Africa. At that time, Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba lived in a forested environment—a far cry from the region's present day environment of harsh desert surroundings. The area where the hominid dwelled was as much as 1,500 feet higher in elevation than today and it was much cooler and wetter.
But the hominid lived at a time when Africa was in the throes of continental change. The area was peppered with active volcanoes and intense earthquakes related to the formation of the rift valley. The Awash region during Ardipithecus ramidus kadabbas' day was showered with pulses of thick, hot volcanic ash from nearby volcanoes.
"It's hard to imagine that life would go on under such hostile environmental conditions," WoldeGabriel said. "Ardipithecus and the other animals inhabiting the region were real survivors."
The researchers found that numerous animals lived during the time of Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba. The research team found more than 1,900 fossil specimens comprising the remains of more than 60 identified mammal species. The fossils included primitive elephants, horses, rhinos, rats and monkeys. Researchers found the remains of more than 20 primitive elephants together at one site.
Finding Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba specimens a tremendous challenge
Lakes, forest areas, volcanic rocks and recent sediments cover about 87 percent of the present-day Middle Awash area. The remaining area contains patches of ancient sediments exposed by erosion, but less than 1 percent of the Middle Awash has windows of exposed ancient-sediment outcroppings that contain mammal fossils.
Discovering, correlating and searching these small windows to the past is a research challenge. The new Ardipithecus subspecies fossils were tiny nuggets in a huge landscape littered with pebbles and boulders. Finding the fossils truly was like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack.
Determining the age of the fossils
Geologists WoldeGabriel and Grant Heiken of Los Alamos, Paul Renne of Berkeley Geochronology Center and UC Berkeley's Department of Earth and Planetary Science, Bill Hart of Miami University of Ohio, and Stanley Ambrose of University of Illinois at Urbana collected volcanic and sedimentary rocks that lay above, beneath, and within the hominid-bearing sediments. The dates of the ash layers and lava flows bracket the age of the fossil remains.
To determine the age of the volcanic layers, researchers measure the amount of argon gas contained in volcanic rocks in them. The gas is a radioactive decay product of naturally occurring potassium that was in the rock when it cooled. Argon accumulates at a known rate in rocks and minerals. By measuring the amount of argon in the volcanic crystals, researchers are able to precisely determine the age of the rocks—and the fossils as well.
The international team includes more than 45 scientists from 12 different countries. Institutions represented by team members that have not already been mentioned include the Cleveland Natural History Museum and the National Museum of Ethiopia.

A private carrier refers to a company that owns the vehicles used to transport its goods. A private carrier is not a company that is a primary transporter of goods. Hence, its services dos not include transportation per se. It doesn't transport goods of other companies.
Salient features of a private carrier:
1. Companies wish to have their own fleet to have independence with the cost per volume of goods transported.
2. They make use of contract carriers when their own fleet falls short.
3. The company vehicle may also aid in advertising purposes.
4. They have their own discretion to sell their services or not.
Common Carrier is different from a Private carrier in a way that it has the main purpose of transportation, so the discretion is somewhat diminished. Trucks are the most preferred private carrier. Though airlines and ships are used too. There is a concept of blended operation where both private and common carriers work together.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Private Carrier along with its overview.

Starring: Arun Vijay, Suresh Gopi, Prabhu, Karthik Muthuraman
Director: A.Venkatesh
Maanja Velu is releasing on
May 23, 2010
Maanja Velu Movie
The 'Malai Malai' duo is back. Buoyed by the response to their earlier venture, Arun Vijay and director A Venkatesh have
joined hands once again, this time for 'Maanja Velu'. The film is a remake of Telugu blockbuster 'Lakshyam'.
Produced by Feather Touch Entertainment, the film has 'Peranmai' fame Dhanshika playing the female lead. The shooting for
'Maanja Velu' is complete and Arun Vijay hopes that it would repeat the box office magic of 'Malai Malai'.
Interestingly, the actor is sporting a bald look for the first time in his career for a crucial segment in the film.
"Although I was initially apprehensive about tonsuring my head, the director convinced me it would create a greater impact on
the story. Also, I knew this look has worked wonders in the past for many stars, including Superstar Rajinikanth in Sivaji."
Yesteryear actor Karthik is making a comeback to Kollywood with 'Maanja Velu'. The actor, who has been a part of the Tamil
film industry for over 29 years, portrays the role of a police officer and the brother of protagonist Arun Vijay.
Talking about his comeback, Karthik says, "It's an emotional re-union with my peers. I don't know why I drifted away from
acting for years. I want to thank Mani Ratnam for bringing me back to the industry in his film 'Raavan'. It fetched me'Maanja Velu'.
"I didn't want to sign up for any other film till 'Raavan' was released, but my good friend and colleague Prabhu persuaded me
to take up the 'Maanja Velu' role. Although I only appear in a guest role, it is a powerful cameo," he adds.
Says the heronie Dhanshika, "I play Anjali, a college student, in the film. It is a bubbly role and I am part of not just the
romantic sequences but also the stunt scenes."
"Director Venkatesh has made 'Maanja Velu' with the right commercial elements. I am confident that the movie would become a
blockbuster," she says.
Maanja Velu is all set to release as a summer treat! The movie stars Arun Vijay, Karthik, Prabhu, Dhansika, Vijayakumar and others.
A press note from the Maanja Velu team states that 250 prints of the film have been made ready. The movie is directed A Venkatesh and produced by Feather Touch Entertainment.
The audio of this film, which was released last month, has got a good response and this has created an expectation for Maanja Velu. Arun Vijay is also looking forward to this movie's release as he is still riding high on the success of Malai Malai.
'Maanja Velu': Man and his mission
It's official now. 'Maanja Velu', the second film in the combination of Arun Vijay, director A Venkatesh and Feather Touch Entertainments, is all set to hit screens on May 7, as a 'perfect summer treat to the movie-buffs'.
Thanks to the success of their previous venture 'Malai Malai', the trio has teamed up again for this movie, which too is a commercial entertainer and a remake of Telugu blockbuster 'Lakshayam'.
Dhanshika of 'Peranmai' fame stars opposite Arun Vijay, while yesteryear top actor Karthik makes his comeback in a pivotal role with this flick. The film also features Prabhu, Santhanam, Ganja Karuppu and others in important characters.
Says the director, "the film is about an angry young man who performs some cruel acts. What made him to take the path of violence forms the crux of the story. Arun Vijay has given his best. The climax scene is going to be one of the highlights."
Arun Vijay's Maanja Velu postponed!
Arun Vijay's ambitious film, the eagerly awaited Maanja Velu, which was scheduled to release on May 7, has now been postponed to May 21.
The delay is due to lack of theatres in Tamil Nadu, as April 30 will see the release of Sura and on May 7 Irumbu Kottai Murattu Singam is releasing. At the same time Paiyaa is going strong. Added to that half a dozen other small films are releasing, creating acute theatre shortage.
Though Arun Vijay says: " All the theatres that screened my earlier hit Malai Malai wanted to screen Maanja Velu, so on a request from them and for a wider release, we have pushed the release date to May 21."
Arun Vijay goes mottai
Arun Vijay, who bounced back with Malai Malai, has almost completed his next film titled Maanja Velu.
The character that Arun is playing in Maanja Velu requires him to shave his head and hence the actor has tonsure his head.
The film, directed by A.Venkatesh and the climax and stunt sequences of the film will be shot soon.
Arun hopes the magic of mottai will work for him too like it worked for many stars like Rajinikanth in Sivaji. Produced by Feather Touch Entertainment, the film has veterans Karthik and Prabhu playing crucial roles and is expected to hit theatres by February end.
A fight sequence where Arun was suspended upside down was canned at Binny Mills over a period of seven days by stunt choreographer Kanal Kannan.
Maanja Velu with 215 prints
Arun Vijay is on Cloud Nine. His upcoming film Maanja Velu is all set to grace theatres this summer with about 215 prints. After tasting success in Malai Malai, the Arun Vijay-Venkatesh duo is back with Maanja Velu.
Maanja Velu is also an action movie. 'Maanja' is the gluey mix of glass powder and other stuff rubbed on the string of a kite used to cut the strings of rival kites. But if handled wrongly, it can cut you. This forms the basic plot.
Prabhu, Karthik, Ganja Karuppu, Santhanam and others form the supporting cast. The racy numbers tuned by Mani Sharma is already a runaway hit.
Arun Vijay's Maanja Velu from May 7
Arun Vijay's home venture Maanja Velu has been confirmed for release on May 7. It will be releasing in nearly 350 screens worldwide as there is a positive talk in trade about the film.
Earlier the film was planned for Chithirai Thirunaal, i.e., April 14. But the incomplete post production graphics work did not allow the film to hit the summer earlier.
According to A Venkatesh, the director of the movie, Arun Vijay has done some real dare devil action scenes in the film. Yesteryear romantic hero Karthik is making a comeback with this movie, in an important role. Prabhu also doing a cameo in the film. Arun Vijay will appear b ald in the climax, as he said earlier in a press meet.

HARARE, Zimbabwe — They are so different yet so much alike: Egypt and Zimbabwe seem related.
For several weeks Zimbabweans have been glued to their TV sets watching the revolution in Cairo unfold. Both countries are former British dependencies; their arthritic leaders are in their mid-80s and have been in office for 30 years. The two leaders were the best of pals and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe invariably ensuring landed his plane in Cairo when travelling to the Far East; their subjects suffered equally from poverty, corruption and repression.
In the last two weeks Libya's ruler, Muammar Gaddafi, has joined the club of elderly African dictators on the brink. Zimbabweans are hoping he won't end up in Harare. He has pretensions to head the African continent which annoy Africans south of the Sahara, especially when he dresses up as a character from a Gilbert & Sullivan opera.
So why do Zimbabweans not occupy Africa Unity Square in the center of Harare and topple a regime long past its sell-by date?
The answer is simple: Zimbabweans are unable to mobilize a critical mass. They have been so bludgeoned over the years — with nothing to show for it — that they have lost their appetite for confrontation. Small bands of protesters make good targets for the riot police.
Zimbabwe's civil society has confined itself to a virtual revolution in Harare courtesy of Al Jazeera, willing the Egyptians on but unable to emulate them.
Even then they are not safe. A former MP Munyaradzi Gwisai and 45 others including trade unionists have been arrested and charged with treason for watching video footage of events in Egypt. They were accused of plotting an Egyptian-style uprising in Zimbabwe.
"On 16 February they held a meeting and the purpose of the meeting was to organize, strategize and implement the removal of a constitutional government of Zimbabwe by unconstitutional means, the Tunisian-Egyptian way," charged prosecutor Edmore Nyazamba. "In their speeches, the accused highlighted that there was a long serving dictator/authoritarian leader, general hunger, poverty, unemployment and capitalist tendencies where wealth is enjoyed by a few individuals while the general populace is suffering."
On Wednesday, the Zimbabweans' lawyer said he would oppose the charge against his clients, who were ordered to remain in custody overnight.
Zimbaweans are asking themselves, 'What was the secret to Egypt's success?'
"We have lost our fear," protesters told TV stations. And very simply, Zimbabweans haven't. Their courage has been knocked out of them. In Egypt's middle class revolution social networking played an important role. In Zimbabwe internet sites have not yet been used to organize people on a significant scale.
Another key difference is the role of the army. In Egypt the army is adored, particularly after its success in the 1973 war with Israel. In Zimbabwe the army has been suborned, its leaders bought off. The Zimbabwe National Army is a crucial agency of Mugabe's brutal regime and appears to relish its role in suppressing democracy. The generals regard Zimbabwe's democratic opposition with barely concealed contempt.
In Egypt the former ruling NDP party's headquarters was the first target of the crowd. In Zimbabwe Mugabe's Zanu-PF building stands safely above the fray unmolested by any unruly mob.
What is significant in the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions is the absence of anti-imperialist rhetoric. The emphasis has been on freedom and democracy, not — perhaps with the exception of Yemen — anti-American fist-waving of the Iranian variety.
Muammar Gaddafi represented the divergence when he chastised the Tunisians for chasing away their president.
"Tunisia now lives in fear," he said in a broadcast. "Families could be raided and slaughtered in their bedrooms. And the citizens in the street killed as if it was the Bolshevik or American revolutions."
The Libyan leader evidently knows little about the events of 1776 or 1917 but that didn't stop his stream of consciousness. "And what is this for?" Gaddafi continued. "To change Zine al Abidine? Hasn't he told you he would step down after three years? Be patient for three years and your son stays alive." It sounded a bit like a threat.
Zimbabweans continued to share notes with their North African counterparts. Tunisian newspapers reported the first lady piling gold bars aboard the presidential jet lifted from Tunisia's reserve bank. Zimbabwe's first lady, Grace Mugabe, has a similar reputation for acquisitiveness but prefers the allure of diamonds.
Zimbabwe's first family, like the Bourbons of old, appear to have forgotten nothing and learned nothing from the events of the past month. At the very moment that Mubarak announced his departure for Sharm-el-Sheik, Mugabe's noisy motorcade swept through downtown Harare in a demonstration of pomp and power. Motorcyclist outriders waved motorists out of the way and assaulted those slow to do so.
"He's clearly not watching the news," one observer remarked. And it is true that Zimbabwe's ruler lives in a world of his own. His glazed vehicle windows protect him from the unappealing realities of the world outside. How much longer will be be an onlooker?
Questions were asked in Zimbabwe's parliament this week as to whether Zimbabwean soldiers were among the mercenaries hired by Gaddafi to suppress the popular revolt in Libya. The Minister of Defence referred the matter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Zimbabwe already plays host to one ex-dictator, Ethiopian tyrant Mengistu Haile Mariam, now Zimbabweans are wondering if they will have to put up with another one. For Zimbabwe's arrogant post-liberation aristocracy, radicals in Harare have a new word of warning: Libya!

As a child, I loved pistachio nuts. They were something my mom would buy on occasion because they were expensive but she loved them too. But when she did, she'd be selfish with them and would only spare me some if she hadn't finished the pack within a few days. However, here I sit in a house where pistachio nuts are left on the island of an ombre, wooden kitchen for snacking in and between meals or rushed rides out of the house to whatsoever location.
As I stood there sipping on my wine and breaking open the shells of the pistachios, I realized the beauty of change and the things we value. If you asked me right now what my favourite type of nut is, pistachio would not be the number one contender. I might have a hard time deciding between almonds (which I am allergic to) or pecans (which I barely ever eat, and when I do, I can never really decide whether I completely love their taste, or totally despise it). However, pistachio is not at all at the top ranks. See, when things are rare to us, they are more beautiful and more desirable for whatsoever reason. There truly is something in wanting something you absolutely cannot have. This should be clear in the fact that I crave and love almonds even though I am allergic to them and they are one of the few things I cannot eat.
However, as we grow and have the pleasure of experiencing all these thing that were rare or kept from us, we realize that they are not at all as special as they seem.
....This revelation is something that I am going to take into the new year, because it is something that has been demonstrated to me time and time again, however, my child-like mind and naivety kept me from realizing it. Yet, all it took was a bowl of pistachio nuts and memories of my sweet, beautiful mother that brought the lessons of the universe into my perspective.
Rarity only means beauty because we receive it in small doses; but that does not mean that your diamond in the rough is more rare than the gem you've find amongst the many stones of a sandy beach. It really just lies in a change of perception and a change of perspective; and that is something I need in this new year. Because my diamond in the rough could well be hiding in the shore of gems I have so inconsiderably dismissed as inadequate.

A common adage in showbiz (or anything really) is, "It's all about who you know."
But I'm sorry to tell you, this statement won't get you very far.
It's relatively easy to cross paths with Broadway stars, toast with a big name producer at a party, shake hands with a top casting director at a networking event, or even be Facebook friends with key contacts.
However, the better adage for real success in showbiz, is, "It's all about who knows you."
Simply having crossed paths with the people you'd like to know is a good start to building a relationship, but until that person will return your calls or emails or recognize you on the street, you don't know them and they don't know you.
I frequently make introductions for the wonderful people in my network to the other wonderful people in my network and they do the same for me. In fact, when I was new to NYC and knew hardly anyone, I sat down with a few industry people who I had met over the years. I sought their wisdom and advice about the business and at the end of each conversation I'd ask, "who else should I be talking to?"
Inevitably they'd make an introduction which would lead to another meeting and another introduction and in time (and many cups of coffee and glasses of wine) I had built – and continue to be building – a huge network of incredible contacts, colleagues and friends.
Our theater industry is made up of a relatively small community and odds are someone you know knows someone you want to know and may be willing to make an introduction for you. These days, with LinkedIn and Facebook, figuring out connections has never been easier. Take the time to put in the legwork to get a real introduction.
Becoming "known" in the theater business takes time, diligence, and putting yourself out there to as many people as you can whether they be interns or icons. It's about showing up, following up, helping people, asking for help, and being part of the community.
It's a lifetime endeavor, but the rewards are limitless. Because dropping names can only take you so far. Creating meaningful contacts can make your career.

With Mike Harris and Chris Prosinski each day in the EverBank Field meeting room that is home to the Jaguars' defensive backs are a whopping 11 new teammates.
Slowly, everybody is getting to learn each other's names.
"We're getting there," Prosinski said. "But it's a fun room. You've got some veterans who have come in, and the younger guys bring a lot of energy. It's a good mix."
But will that mix include Harris and Prosinski, who started a combined 14 games last year at cornerback and safety, respectively?
Harris and Prosinski are two of four returning players in the Jaguars' secondary, joining projected starting free safety Dwight Lowery and long-shot cornerback Kevin Rutland.
As the Jaguars veterans take this week off from meetings and workouts, early indications are Harris and Prosinski are in the team's plans.
Harris is expected to compete with veteran Marcus Trufant for the third cornerback role in charge of covering the slot receiver in sub-packages.
Prosinski is working as the second-team strong safety (he was a free safety last year).
That both are backups in late May doesn't represent a change. But their competition for playing time has changed almost completely.
Gone is just about everybody. New is just about everybody — five draft picks (including starting safety Johnathan Cyprien and cornerback Dwayne Gratz), Trufant and cornerback Alan Ball.
Instead of keeping track of the transactions, Harris and Prosinski continue to go about their business.
"I can't control who comes and who goes," Harris said. "That's not my job. My job is to come in, work hard and play fast."
Said Prosinski: "It's a business, and I knew they got rid of a lot of guys, so I knew they would be bringing guys in."
It was just a year ago that Harris was a seventh-round draft choice trying to win a roster spot behind a veteran group of cornerbacks.
When he played six snaps in the first five games, Harris was fifth on the depth chart.
But injuries/ineffectiveness by others, combined with his improvement, allowed Harris to climb into a prime role. He started the last seven games and finished the year as the Jaguars' most dependable cornerback.
Harris, 24, played 528 snaps and posted totals of 62 tackles, one interception and five pass breakups.
"The playing experience was big because you can't get that in practice," he said. "That time at the end of the year, it helped me out maturity-wise. I'm able to lean on that."
But like other parts of the roster, cornerback was addressed in free agency and the draft, pushing Harris back to reserve status.
At 5-foot-10, there is natural speculation that he's not big enough to play the Jaguars' preferred press coverage technique. The reviews so far, though, are positive. Harris has adjusted his footwork while practicing outside, and he is viewed as a good fit to cover inside.
"I'm getting most of my work inside at nickel, which is what I expected, and it's one of the things I do best," he said. "Inside, it's pretty much a press concept, but with more zone than I did last year."
Defensive backs coach DeWayne Walker is stressing footwork for all of the cornerbacks as the key to being aggressive in coverage.
"Your feet are your biggest asset out there," Harris said. "Outside, it's taken me some time to get used to a different kind of technique."
Prosinski has also gone through changes to how he plays the safety position.
Former defensive coordinator Mel Tucker employed the Cover 2 scheme — each safety responsible for half of the field — but the Jaguars could be more of a single-high safety team.
"This is totally different than what I experienced my first two years," Prosinski said. "But I like the scheme and playing the middle of the field and reading the quarterback and then using my range to make breaks on the ball. This is a more aggressive defense."
Like Harris, Prosinski, 26, saw limited duty early last year — 66 snaps in the first five games. But Lowery wrecked his ankle twice, allowing Prosinski to start seven games.
In 661 snaps, Prosinski had 66 tackles and one interception. Months later, he pointed out his chief area of improvement.
"What was disappointing — but it did get better the last three to four games — was my tackling," he said. "It wasn't that there were a ton [of missed tackles], but one to two a game and they ended up in bigger plays. All through college and even my rookie year, I was a sure tackler."
In training camp, if the Jaguars stand pat at safety, Prosinski is expected to compete with rookie Josh Evans for playing time. He will use last year has an example of how things can change (reserve to starter to reserve to starter).
"You still have to be ready because players go down," Prosinski said. "For right now, I'm running with the second team but like we talk about in the meeting room, not everybody can start, so you have to find your role and your way, whether it's on special teams or filling in for guys."

Home > Pre-Reg Pharmacist > How to Get Through the Pre-Reg Year & Exam
Download PDF format
At the start of the year, the pre-reg experience including the pre-reg exam can appear daunting. Allow yourself time to settle in, take time to get to know your colleagues and be clear early on of what is expected of you. Take everything on board and learn from it. During the year, it's really important that you are organised and it is highly recommended that you start your exam revision early on and not cram everything in at the last minute. At the end of the year you will be surprised by how much you have learnt and taken in.
Don't neglect your portfolio of evidence
Keep on top of your portfolio of evidence. Do not worry if one pre-reg has been signed off on seven performance standards and you have only be signed off on two. Even if you have been working extremely hard, do not necessarily assume it is because your pre-reg tutor is making your life difficult. It could be due to several reasons, for example the other pre-reg may have completed one part of their training that you have not done yet or your pre-reg tutor may want to see evidence from several different scenarios.
Pharmacy calculations (practice, practice & practice)
Start practising calculations early on in the year as this will help build your confidence and identify any areas of weaknesses before the pre-reg exam. Get into the habit from day one of developing a method to self-check the answer always. It is also important to ensure that you have a basic knowledge of arithmetic.
Prepare for the pre-reg exam
Answer as many sample questions as you can.
Ask various staff members to quiz you throughout the pre-reg year as this is a great way of learning whilst helping you to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
Form a close relationship with your BNF and BNFC during the year, try and get into the habit of using these essential prescribing reference sources to look things up at work regularly rather than asking your colleagues. If you do not know what you are dispensing, have a quick read in the BNF and BNFC. If you are limited on time at work, then read up on it later. The advantage of doing this is that you are more likely to learn more quickly and remember what you have learnt than if you sat there revising each page. Other essential reference sources that will also help with your learning include PILs (patient information leaflets) and the SPCs (summaries of product characteristics).
Get the answers to your questions not just from your pre-reg tutor
Do not just rely on your pre-reg tutor to answer all your questions. Ask other staff members as they could also help.
Get to know the range of resources kept in the pharmacy and what kind of things you can look up in each one. This will allow you to know where to look for an answer that someone may ask you or that you want to know for your own benefit or learning. Most importantly of all, when you qualify and if you do not know the answer to something, you are in a better position to know where to look. Ask other pharmacists what resources they use.
Understand what each staff member does
Try to embark on a range of experiences and shadow as many pharmacy staff members as you can as well as other healthcare professionals. Remember this is probably the only time you get to do this and having a greater understanding of what one does will allow you to understand their role better.
Be organised from the start of the year
Keep all correspondence from the GPhC in a safe place.
Introduce a filing system. File all the paperwork you receive from work or from your regional study groups as you get them. Do not let it all pile up, the last thing you should be doing is organising all your paperwork at the end of the year when you should be concentrating on your exam revision.
Keep a diary with you at work. Write important dates in this diary as well as the tasks to be achieved. It can also be easy to forget what questions other people asked you to find out about or any other questions that you need to look into further, so make a note of these also.
Your holidays are sacred to you due to exam revision but at the same time you probably want to enjoy yourself and switch off from your pre-reg training. Only you can decide how much time you need for exam revision and how best you work, therefore, think of how you should take your holidays before filling in leave requests. Make sure you do this early on so you are not refused leave because someone else has taken it.
Do not leave your audit to the last minute as this will only cause more stress for you.
Finally remember to try and enjoy your pre-reg placement and take some time out for yourself regularly.

Daisuke Matsuzaka isn't necessarily next in line for a shot at closing games if Kyle Farnsworth bombs, but the Mets may consider the veteran right-hander for the role if there is a need.
Manager Terry Collins on Wednesday cited Matsuzaka's improved control from when the Mets first signed him last season as a reason Matsuzaka could handle the job.
But the Mets also value Matsuzaka — who arrived last week from Triple-A Las Vegas to work from the bullpen — as a sixth starter should a need arise in the rotation.
"We've wrestled with trying to keep him ready to start a game and yet use him as his versatility dictates in shorter roles," Collins said before the Mets' 3-2 victory over the Cardinals at Citi Field.
Matsuzaka entered in the seventh inning and struck out Mark Ellis before Carlos Torres and Scott Rice combined for a scoreless eighth. Kyle Farnsworth got the save after allowing a run in the ninth.
Collins said he turned to Torres instead of keeping Matsuzaka on the mound beyond the seventh because he now considers Torres as the team's primary eighth-inning option.
"When you've got a two-run lead, you go to your guy, and that's what we did," Collins said. "Now [Thursday] we've got both of them."
Michael Wacha became the fourth pitcher in major league history to strike out 10 or more batters in four innings or less, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The Indians' Danny Salazar had 10 strikeouts in 3 ²/₃ innings against the White Sox earlier this month.
Despite the fact Vic Black hadn't allowed a run in six appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas entering Wednesday, Collins indicated the right-hander isn't close to returning to the big leagues. Collins cited the fact Black had seven walks over 7 ¹/₃ innings. The right-hander was demoted to the minors in spring training because of control problems.
Bobby Abreu is expected to make his first start for the Mets on Thursday. … Major League Baseball made a scoring change from Saturday's game and subtracted a hit from Daniel Murphy's total. Murphy was awarded a single on an eighth-inning grounder that Dan Uggla mishandled. The play was changed to an error.

Hey GOP...We Already have a Bill of Rights!!
Besides trying to elect one of their own - Mitt Romney - to the White House, the oligarchs have another trick up their sleeve this election. And that's to make sure their state taxes never go up again. Their plan is carried out in the form of ballot measures - often under the name of Taxpayer Bill of Rights laws - that will appear in a handful of states on Election Day that are aimed at making it very difficult to raise taxes. Such measures are on the ballot in states like Florida, Michigan, and Washington. So imagine a law - or, even more bizarre, an amendment to a state's constitution, that says, "You may not take away any tax breaks that billionaires or large corporations have without it getting at least a 2/3rds vote in the legislature, but you may lay off teachers, state troopers, repeal Meals on Wheels programs, and cut off financial aid to colleges and college students with a simple majority." And then imagine that the law went a step further and said that you can't raise taxes on billionaires or corporations, and you can't close any of the tax loopholes they use every day, but you can easily raise fees on everyday working people, so they're paying more to register their cars or park on city streets or have their garbage collected.

Quinn children in bid to halt IBRC action
THE children and other family members of jailed businessman Sean Quinn will next week ask a court to stop an action by Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (IBRC) alleging they conspired to strip assets from the family's International Property Group (IPG).
The five children and three spouses contend the bank's conspiracy action should be struck out or put on hold pending the outcome of the family's action against IBRC, due next April.
In that case, the Quinns claim the bank has no valid security over properties within the Quinn IPG and had also advanced some €2.4bn unlawfully to Quinn companies via loans to prop up its share price.
If the court rules in their favour, they contend the entire conspiracy action will have been pointless.
When the matter was mentioned in the Commercial Court yesterday, Mr Justice Peter Kelly said he would approve the directions and returned the conspiracy case to January 28 for further directions.

What is your healthy lifestyle goal for 2014? Eat Better? Lose Weight? Stop Smoking? Get Active? Complete a half-marathon? Health Plus shares this inspiring story to let you know your dreams are possible to achieve.
Kimberly Farmer, Wellness Commodore for Pulmonary Vascular Center at Vanderbilt, has a passion for healthy lifestyle that is contagious. Last year she set a goal that caught the attention of her colleagues. The challenge: To complete thirteen 5k race events in 2013. Her colleagues, Wendi Mason and Kathleen Kinser, took the challenge and ran with it (literally).
Wendi Mason says when she started running; it was a challenge just to get to the next mailbox. Now she runs a solid 10 minute mile and has lost 50 pounds. Wendi says she has found that having a partner to train and run with makes it more enjoyable. For her and her colleagues this is all about having fun and encouraging each other. Wendi completed 18 race events in 2013.
Kathleen Kinser was inspired by Wendi's lifestyle change and got on board. For Kathleen, the keys to success in making lifestyle change are: talk to your provider about specific conditions or needs; set a plan: schedule time to exercise and put it on your calendar; and get support–running a race alone just isn't fun! Kathleen completed 21 race events in 2013.
Just like Kim inspired her colleagues to make a healthy lifestyle change, you can make a difference too. Interested in learning more about becoming a Wellness Commodore? Contact Laura Osterman at (615) 322-6689 or email@example.com.
If you would like support from a Health Plus Wellness Coach to help you reach your goals for 2014 please contact Nic Gonzales at (615) 343-8777 or Lisa Connor at (615) 343-9623.

Most of Asus' highly versatile Transformer Book and Pad hybrids have detachable keyboards going for them and thus a portability edge over devices like Lenovo's Yogas. But if for some reason you want an Asus-made Yoga clone, here it is, up for grabs via Microsoft's online store.
Aptly named Transformer Book Flip, the punchy 13 incher can seamlessly mutate from a conventional laptop into a (husky) tablet by, well, flipping the touch-enabled Full HD display 360 degrees back. That way, you don't need to worry about the potential frailty of hinges or other joining mechanisms, although the downside is, once again, the extra bulkiness of the machine when used as a slate.
But hey, the Flip TP300LA is fairly affordable, at $799, and exceptionally zippy, thanks to a fourth-generation Intel Core i5 "Haswell" chip, 8 GB RAM and discrete integrated Intel HD 4400 graphics. Of course, a solid-state drive, even in a combination with a primary HDD, would have been a nice touch, however there's no way Asus could have then kept things so sensible cost-wise.
So the 500 GB hard drive will need to do, and so will the 7-hour battery, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 and HDMI connectivity. Available in limited inventory at the moment, the TP300LA shall be followed by configurations packing Core i3 and i7 heat, as well as 15-inch models with dedicated Nvidia graphics and SSDs. When? Keep in touch and you'll be the first to hear.

There is still plenty of uncertainty surrounding the New England Revolution heading into the weekend, as head coach Jay Heaps will first have assess the fitness of Shalrie Joseph and Stephen McCarthy before he names his starting lineup for Saturday's match at Sporting Kansas City (8:30 pm ET, MLS Live).
Both players missed the Revolution's 2-1 defeat at Montréal on Wednesday, but Heaps said he hopes Joseph (questionable – hip irritation) and McCarthy (probable – concussion-like symptoms) will feature against Sporting.
"I think [they] are both questionable right now," Heaps told reporters on a conference call held on Friday. "We have to find out where they are physically and where they'll be as we're going into the match. But as of right now, no decisions have been made on either player."
In a positive sign regarding his availability for the match, McCarthy flew to Kansas City on Friday to link up with his teammates after he stayed in the Boston area for the midweek game at Stade Saputo.
The potential return of both players would provide a boost to the Revs as they seek to halt a run of two consecutive defeats, according to Revolution midfielder Benny Feilhaber.
"It's always tough not having those guys in the lineup," Feilhaber told reporters on a conference call held on Friday. "Shalrie [above] is our captain and he's a guy that's important to our team. Obviously, he's been here for such a long time. So [losing] guys like that, it's tough.
"McCarthy's been playing really well the last four, five, six weeks and him being out makes it a little tougher for us."
Although Feilhaber said he'd like to see Joseph and McCarthy back in the fold for this match against the Eastern Conference leaders, he noted that he and his teammates are more than capable of assuming the burden if they do not play and atoning for the 3-0 defeat suffered at Livestrong Sporting Park on March 17.
"I think that the guys that step in know what they're doing and they know the system," Feilhaber said. "They're not guys that are a level below anybody else on this team. So in that sense, I think we're not going to use it as an excuse. Hopefully, we can have all the pieces back for this game and then Jay will have more tough decisions to make."

WORK on a highly-anticipated £30m cinema and leisure development for Darlington is set to start in the next few weeks, The Northern Echo can reveal.
The Feethams Leisure development - featuring a multiplex cinema, a hotel and a number of national restaurant chains – is set to transform Darlington town centre and create hundreds of jobs.
After months of planning and work behind the scenes, developer Terrace Hill has announced that funding for the scheme is in place and that building work will begin before the end of the month.
Loading article content
The official start for the scheme has been welcomed by Darlington Borough Council leader Bill Dixon, who said it showed that investors had confidence in the town and its economy.
Up to 150 jobs will be created at the site, with more secured in the construction phase.
A number of national chains have been attracted to the site, including Vue Cinemas, which will operate the nine-screen cinema, and Premier Inn, which will open an 80-bedroom hotel.
Popular restaurant chains, including chicken outlet Nando's, Italian eateries Bella Italia and Prezzo, and a Greene King pub, operating under its Hungry Horse brand, will open their first branches in Darlington, while Lancashire based Chinese Buffet and Yarm's Purple Pig will also move to the town.
A 65-week build schedule has been put in place by Terrace Hill, with Feethams Leisure set to be open to the public by Christmas next year.
Terrace Hill is working with the council to arrange access to the former bus station site but Duncan McEwan, director of development at Terrace Hill said he does not forsee any major disruption for the public.
Funding for the £30m scheme had been expected to come from outside investors but a merger between Terrace Hill and fellow developer Urban and Civic this summer raised £120m on the Stock Exchange.
That windfall means Terrace Hill will now build, finance and retain the development for its portfolio instead of handing it over to investors.
Duncan McEwan, development director of Terrace Hill, said: "We are looking forward to getting it started, it has been a long time coming.
"The work behind the scenes for these things always takes quite a long time, especially as there have been a number of changes for our company.
"This is a great addition for Darlington and positive news for everybody."
Coun Dixon said the news was fantastic for the town and that the development would complement the offer already available in the town centre.
He added: "It shows that the professional investors have got huge faith in Darlington and will invest millions of pounds in the town.
"The jobs that will be created in the leisure industry are great news and will provide a great counterpoint to the hi-tech jobs in the science sector that we've recently attracted to the town. It's important to achieve that balance."

The American Symphony Orchestra League's 1999/2000 orchestral repertoire report surveyed 63 participating orchestras, covering 2,701 performances of 1,607 works by 436 composers — including 128 native-born American composers. The American composers with the most performances for the season were Aaron Copland (130), Samuel Barber (119), George Gershwin (89), Leonard Bernstein (83), John Adams (48), Charles Ives (46), and Christopher Rouse (26). According to the report, the most frequently performed American pieces were Barber's Violin Concerto (24), Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue (20), Copland's Third Symphony (19), Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story (17), Copland's El Salón Mexico (17), Barber's Overture to the School for Scandal (16), Adams' Violin Concerto (13), Barber's Knoxville Summer 1915 (13), Copland's Clarinet Concerto (12), and John Corigliano's Pied Piper Fantasy flute concerto (11). The American totals obviously pale in comparison with the most-performed standard repertoire composers overall — Mozart (585), Beethoven (580), and Brahms (485). The most-programmed pieces overall last season were the Brahms Violin Concerto (65), Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto (52), and Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 (48).
To see how American composers fared relative to one another in seasons past we can look to other ASOL repertoire reports. The most frequently performed American composers in the 1998/99 season were Gershwin (124), Barber (99), Bernstein (91), Copland (80), Ives (54), Adams (51), Rouse (40), and Corigliano (39). The most-programmed native pieces were Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F (37), Barber's Violin Concerto (25), Barber's Adagio for Strings (24), Ives' Three Places in New England (17), Copland's Symphony No. 3 (15), Gershwin's An American in Paris (14), Adams' Century Rolls piano concerto (13), and Bernstein's Symphonic Suite from On the Waterfront (13). In the 1997/98 season, the most-performed Americans were Gershwin (125), Barber (120), Copland (114), Bernstein (93), Corigliano (55), Adams (34), Ives (34), and –surprise– Joseph Schwantner (24). The most-programmed American pieces were Copland's Clarinet Concerto (24), Barber's Violin Concerto (23), Gershwin's An American in Paris (21), Barber's Knoxville Summer 1915 (20), Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F (19), Schwantner's Percussion Concerto (17), Barber's Cello Concerto (16), and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue (15). And, finally, in the 1996/97 season, the top Americans were Copland (130), Barber (119), Gershwin (89), Bernstein (86), Adams (48), Ives (46), Rouse (26), and William Bolcom (23); the most-programmed pieces were Barber's Violin Concerto (24), Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue (20), Copland's Third Symphony (19), Bernstein's West Side Story Dances (17), Copland's El Salón Mexico (17), Barber's Overture to the School for Scandal (16), and Adams' Violin Concerto (13).
As another, more specific, bellwether, we can look at the American programming of some of the past New York Philharmonic seasons — which has undoubtedly benefited from the string of anniversary years. In 1999/2000, the year of the Philharmonic's "Copland Celebration," the New York band performed Copland 64 times, far more than any other native composer. In 1998/99, the top Americans were Gershwin (40), Duke Ellington (30), and Bernstein (13). Jumping back across the decades, the 1990/91 season highlighted Bernstein (36), Copland (21), and Barber (14); in 1980/81, Copland (29) and William Schuman (8); in 1970/71, Copland (4), Gershwin (3), and Virgil Thomson (3); in 1960/61, Copland (6), Bernstein (5), and Morton Gould (4); in 1950/51, Barber (5), Copland (4), Norman Dello Joio (4), and Ives (4); in 1940/41, Gould (2), Walter Damrosch (2), Arthur Foote (2), and Roy Harris (2).
Another indicator of performances for American composers comes from the performing-rights societies, ASCAP and BMI. Neither organization will offer public rankings of its most frequently performed composers, but they will report those who are logging significant activity, in no particular order. Beyond the usual top names, BMI lists such composers as Alan Hovhaness, John Harbison, Steve Reich, Tobias Picker, Aaron Jay Kernis, Michael Torke, and Joan Tower. ASCAP offers Philip Glass, Ned Rorem, Howard Hanson, David Diamond, Dominick Argento, Lowell Liebermann, Robert X. Rodriguez, Augusta Read Thomas, Morton Gould, Randall Thompson, Libby Larsen, David Del Tredici, Stephen Paulus, and Dan Welcher, among others.

SHEFFIELD — Most new coaches take over programs that are on the decline or just treading water, but Karlee Bruck won't have that problem.
Bruck, a 2007 Elyria High School graduate and volleyball player at the University of Michigan, is the new volleyball coach at Brookside High School.
She replaces Ted Whitsel, who left the program in outstanding shape when he stepped down after 14 years on the job, handing Bruck a team that is the two-time defending Patriot Athletic Conference Stars Division champion and a winner of 35 straight conference matches.
"I was always open to coming back home to Lorain County," said Bruck, who spent last year as head coach at Clinton High School in Clinton, Mich. "In fact, I was open to really going anywhere and had opportunities to do so. But this really feels like the perfect job for me. Ted has done a terrific job there and it was one of the higher-profile openings out there.
"I'm thankful for the opportunity to step in and keep the tradition going."
"Ted has done a tremendous job building the program," Brookside athletic director Dick Kerschbaum said. "He leaves on top and he will be missed.
When we went looking for his replacement, we wanted someone who has been a head coach and been involved in high-powered programs.
"Karlee has that experience and I expect she is going to be very successful here."
Bruck, who earned three varsity letters in volleyball at Elyria and was second team All-Ohio as a senior, earned four letters for the Wolverines, as well. A medical redshirt as a freshman after being diagnosed with diabetes, she came back to help lead the Wolverines to four straight NCAA Sweet 16 tournament appearances.
She also holds the University of Michigan single-match record for attack percentage (.818).
She led Clinton through a rebuilding year, bringing up several junior varsity players as replacements for key seniors lost to graduation, and the team finished a surprising fourth in the 10-team Tri-County Conference.
Bruck felt good about where the Clinton program was headed and was looking forward to the upcoming season when her grandfather told her about the opening at Brookside.
After doing some research, she applied for and got the job.
Bruck sat down with Kerschbaum and Whitsel after landing the job. While the meeting could have simply been a formality, it turned into much more than that.
"Ted spoke about the program and each member of the team," Bruck said. "Even though I haven't met them yet, I feel like I know them. We covered a lot of ground in that meeting and Ted is going to be someone that I can keep in contact with as we move along.
"I have a lot of confidence in my abilities. I am going to bring in some new things but I will be keeping what has been working."
Bruck also honed her coaching skills at several camps Michigan held and with two years of Junior Olympics.
Brookside will hold a meet-and-greet for Bruck on Thursday at 7 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. Kerschbaum said the entire Brookside community is invited.

K.J. Choi is no stranger to fast starts in the Sony Open.
The 37-year-old South Korean continued the trend Thursday, carding a bogey-free round of 6-under-par 64 at Waialae Country Club to take a one-shot lead in the PGA Tour's first event with a full field this season. Playing in his seventh Sony Open, Choi has never posted a score above par in the opening round of the event.
Last year, Choi also shot 6-under 64 in the first round and went on to finish tied for fourth.
Choi has historically been a good front-runner. He has been the leader or co-leader three times after the first round in his PGA Tour career and wound up winning twice (the 2002 Tampa Bay Classic and the 2007 AT&T National).
"Today, I think what's meaningful is that I had a bogey-free round," Choi told reporters. "My score reflected it. Yesterday, I felt like my shots were coming back. I was getting back into my rhythm. I feel like today, this year, I'm adjusting to the course very well."
Choi's opening round featured consistency. He opened with a birdie on the first hole and then added birdies on Nos. 6, 9, 10, 15 and 18.
Choi is coming off a tie for 28th at last week's Mercedes-Benz Championship, which featured a 31-player field of players who had won PGA Tour events in 2007. In his first outing of 2008, Choi started slowly with rounds of 79 and 75 before shooting back-to-back 69s.
"Last week I had a bit of trouble with the putting," Choi said. "It really didn't go the way that I wanted to, but this week I felt like my putting was coming back."
Choi enters the second round with a one-stroke lead over Jimmy Walker, Steve Marino and Heath Slocum, who are all tied for second at 5-under 65. Rory Sabbatini, Chad Campbell, Steve Lowery, James Driscoll, Kenneth Ferrie, J.P. Hayes, Brad Adamonis and last week's winner, Daniel Chopra are all tied for fifth at 4-under 66.
Tadd Fujikawa, a 17-year-old high school junior who became the youngest player in 50 years to make the cut at a PGA Tour event last year, struggled to a round of 4-over 74. A double bogey on his second hole set the stage for a disappointing day, despite strong fan support for the home-state player.
"I had a rough start, doubled No. 2 and misread a few putts here and there," Fujikawa told reporters. "It was actually pretty close to going in on a few of them and just got unlucky on a few shots.
"The back nine I started playing a lot better and I felt better about my game."
Choi, who made the cut in 21 of 25 events last year and won twice, said he only hopes he can continue his strong play in the tournament.
"All I can say is I'm going to try my best until the end of the week," Choi said. "I feel good this week. It's a good vibe that I'm feeling, and with all the fans, the local fans supporting me, I feel a lot of support there. It's treating me well."
January 11, 2008
Davis Love III, who played the final 57 holes of the Children's Miracle Network Classic without a bogey, finished at 25-under 263 in the season-ending event played at the Walt Disney World Golf Resort in Florida. It has been a long road back for Love, who severely sprained his ankle late last year. After tearing ligaments, he needed surgery, and he's spent much of this year rehabilitating the injury.

Micromem to develop 1,000-bit memory chip using magnetic technology
Post a comment
TORONTO, Ontario -- Micromem Technologies Inc. here said that it expects to complete fabrication of a 1,000-bit array of its Magram memory technology by early February. Magram, a digital memory that combines both non-volatile characteristics with random-access memory capability, is seen as a potential breakthrough technology, and has already been successfully demonstrated (see Oct. 4, 1999 story).
A series of arrays is currently under development by Magram inventor Richard Lienau and his team at the Center for High Technology Materials in Albuquerque, N.M. Evaluation units for parametric and functional testing will be integrated, from groups of single bits all the way up to massive arrays of bits in one "package," according to the company. At least one array will consist of 1,000 bits or more.
"This is a very significant move forward in the development, in that compared to the first stage 'samples' demonstrated last year, which were only 8 bits wide, these EVUs can be built using much smaller design rules, thus allowing much denser arrays," Lienau said. "The principle reason for building large dense arrays is to demonstrate that Magram devices can function withindividual memory cells, or bits, densely packed in an array which would function similar to those in commercial memory products."
The Center for High Technology Materials is a world-class facility with the specialized equipment required to enable the advanced engineering that will lead to cell size reduction and integration. Lienau said. Increasing density, speed and array size will allow further reduction of power consumption and cost, he added.
Micromem holds the rights to Magram technology through its wholly owned subsidiary, Pageant Technologies (U.S.A.) Inc., based on patents licensed from Yale University.

CARACAS, Venezuela, June 27 (UPI) -- The wreckage of a plane carrying Italian fashion magnate Vittorio Missoni and his wife was found in 200 feet of water, Venezuelan authorities said Thursday.
The Interior Ministry said the small plane, a Britten-Norman Islander, was in the Los Roques archipelago, CNN reported. It vanished on Jan. 4 as Missoni flew from the Los Roques airport to Caracas.
There were six people on board, including the pilot and co-pilot and Missoni's wife, Maurizia Castiglioni. No one is believed to have survived the crash.
In a statement to the Italian news agency ANSA, the Missoni family and the families of others on the plane thanked the Italian and Venezuelan authorities for their efforts in finding the wreckage. They said efforts will be made to retrieve the plane.
The Missoni fashion house was founded in 1953 in Gallarte, Italy, by Vittorio's parents. It later moved to Milan and became internationally known for its knitwear.
Ottavio and Rosita Missoni turned over management of the privately owned company to Vittorio and his surviving siblings, Luca and Angela, in 1996. Ottavio Missoni died in May.
A bag was found on Curacao 124 miles from the place where the plane disappeared three weeks later.

Just follow my guide, it will fix your semi brick, it may or may not help with your corrupt file issue.
I know there's a thread for fixing semi-bricks already, but I just want to get everyone's opinion on the right thing to do. This Wii isn't mine, I just borrowed it from a friend who has an extra Wii.
If I recall correctly, the old firmware was something like 3.2-U. This Wii, BTW, has been hard modded, though I'm not sure what was used to do that. But it's hard modded. Right now I can't access the system menu because of the semi brick, I only get that Opera page.
What I did was I used Tales of Graces (JP) on this US Wii, and yeah, I installed the update -_-. I did it with Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (JP version) and installed the update there without encountering any problems, so I thought that it wouldn't get screwed too. Well I was wrong.
So I installed ToG, and I noticed I got the semi brick. I ignored it since when I tried loading the other games via Disc channel, it still works. I looked for alternatives to play ToG, so I installed the Home Brew channel and Neo Gamma r7 (IOS249 rev14) along with all the files that are supposedly needed to make Neo gamma work. And now I use it to load Tales of Graces and it works fine.
I haven't touched the Wii in a while, but lately, when I try to play other games via the Disc Channel, at some point in the game (either even before it loads or somewhere in the middle of the game) I get the "System Files are corrupted" message. And now I'm panicking .__.;
Should I just use this guide to fix it, and it'll get rid of the System files corrupted error, or should I do something else? http://www.wiihacks.com/bricked-wii-...era-error.html
If I heard correctly, Tales of Graces has a 4.2 JP update, but I'm not entirely sure.
Thanks in advance to all those who'll be able to help.
EDIT: I was thinking of using this, will it help? Semi-brick fix discs for all three regions (updated)

Just follow my guide, it will fix your semi brick, it may or may not help with your corrupt file issue.
Ipsa scientia potestas est.
Warning: Piracy is NOT supported. Word your questions carefully.
About the System files corrupted issue, I remember one time wherein I tried to install Preloader, but was unsuccessful due to something... I do remember trying to install other IOS that time. Could that have been the cause? If so, is there a way to fix it?
EDIT: I've tried it and it WORKED! It also fixed the System files corrupted error too! Thank you so much!
Last edited by ac745; 05-26-2010 at 11:35 PM.
I'm having a similar problem with Tales of Graces, even though I never installed an update. From a DVD, it will load a few logos before loading a black screen. From USB, it just loads a black screen right away. I tried to load NSMB to see if that would fix it, but now my NSMB won't load anymore. I'm not sure why it won't load because I followed the guide here but now I can't play NSMB OR ToG =/

Veggies 4U's Energy Pricing Dilemma
Veggies 4U is a young and dynamic family-run greenhouse: Lucy and her husband run the business with the help of a small group of friends and colleagues who serve on the company's Board of Directors. Lucy is preparing a report to the Board to recommend a natural gas supply contract for the next three years. The company has received four different contract offers, ranging from a simple forward contract, to a maximum cost contract with a price floor. The case focuses on the pricing and risk management opportunities offered by an integrated North American natural gas market. Lucy has to assess the different supply contract offers received by the company and to reverse engineer them in order to benchmark their cost with that of potential synthetic alternatives Veggies 4U could build. Once Lucy has decided what to recommend, she has to sell it to the Board.
