Potential novel treatment for influenza found
Washington: In a new study, an experimental drug has shown promise in treating influenza, preventing lung injury and death from the virus in preclinical studies.
University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers found that a drug called Eritoran could protect mice from death after they have been infected with a lethal dose of influenza virus.
The potential value of this drug as single therapy or in combination with antivirals is further supported by previous research that found that it is safe for use in humans.
The findings are of particular interest to scientists now that the latest deadly strain of flu, H7N9, is spreading in China - 82 people in China had been infected with the new strain of flu virus as of April 26, and 17 had died.
Previous scientific studies have revealed that acute lung injury caused by the influenza virus is the result of an immune reaction mediated by a protein called Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4).
Senior author Stefanie Vogel, Ph.D., Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and Medicine at the University of Maryland, and colleagues previously demonstrated that mice that lack the ability to signal through TLR4 are highly refractory to influenza-induced lethality.
In their new study, they extend these findings by showing that Eritoran - a synthetic inhibitor of TLR4, originally developed by Eisai Inc. for treatment of sepsis - improved clinical symptoms and prevented death when administered up to six days after infection with the influenza virus.
Existing antiviral medications must be administered within two days of infection to be optimally effective.
The study was published in the journal Nature.

Have you tried running Falkenrath Aristocrat over Olivia? I am using Olivia for Commander but I tried her and cut her in my Vampire builds. Do you often get to use her abilities at FNM's?

No I didn't try Falkenrath Aristocrat , but Olivia Voldaren is very handy once she's out there :) (seeing that there are only 2 Olivia's in this deck she doesn't get out a lot...small odds to get her and it's a fast deck)!
It's a fast deck so usually it's over quite fast. If the game takes longer, I've got more chance to get Olivia Voldaren on the battlefield. Seeing that it's a longer game, I also have more mana on the battlefield (and probably an empty hand by then) so I get to use her abilities as well then. If I only use her first ability she get's big really fast (burning the small guys while doing that). I use her second ability just to take over the bigger guys.
Thanks for the suggestion but Olivia Voldaren has been a lifesaver in quite a few games so I'll keep her in here :).

Formula 1 set to increase engine noise
7 April 2014 – Formula 1 is set to look at ways to increase the level of sound produced its new turbocharged engines.
The lower noise level has been criticised by many fans and paddock figures in the early stages of the season, including Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone and reigning quadruple World Champion Sebastian Vettel.
But following meetings with the sport's key players in Bahrain, the FIA is to set up a working group to address the issue, and it is hoped that the changes can be tested for the first time at the post-Spanish Grand Prix test.
"It's something we have been addressing with all the manufacturers involved in Formula 1, to address the thing even with the new regulations," Todt told media in the Sakhir paddock. "We must see if we can implement in the short, medium, long term, a bigger noise. And that we will do and we will get unanimous agreement.
"After Barcelona there will be two days of testing, so hopefully there is something that can be tested."

I have paid off an account that was not reported as a collection but was reported as delinquent. It was sold to a collection agency and I have paid them. I was given a verbal agreement on record that when the account was settled, it would be removed from my report, but I don't think I would trust them with a dust bunny let alone this. How can I go about doing this myself? Do I appeal to the bureaus or the original creditor or the collection agency? I have looked on Google and on Credit Karma and have gotten many conflicting views and suggestions.
I appreciate any helpful comments and advice.

Paid in itself isn't an reason/ground for removal, paid and unpaid collections have same reportable length of 7 1/2 years (unless in New York State where paid collections supposedly last only 5 years), Now you will read many different stories and ways to have it removed, feel free to try them all, if it works? It would a exception than rule. If you paid it before collection agency reported then they probably won't bother to report, as it takes time and money... Paying collection account would not have any affect on the status of the original account, the late payment wont be removed just because you paid the collection, especially it was sold to collection agency.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
The Fugitives - Poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The waters are flashing,
The white hail is dashing,
The lightnings are glancing,
The hoar-spray is dancing—
The whirlwind is rolling,
The thunder is tolling,
The forest is swinging,
The minster bells ringing--
Come away!
The Earth is like Ocean,
Wreck-strewn and in motion:
Bird, beast, man and worm
Have crept out of the storm--
Come away!
'Our boat has one sail
And the helmsman is pale;--
A bold pilot I trow,
Who should follow us now,'--
Shouted he--
And she cried: 'Ply the oar!
Put off gaily from shore!'--
As she spoke, bolts of death
Mixed with hail, specked their path
O'er the sea.
And from isle, tower and rock,
The blue beacon-cloud broke,
And though dumb in the blast,
The red cannon flashed fast
From the lee.
And 'Fear'st thou?' and 'Fear'st thou?'
And Seest thou?' and 'Hear'st thou?'
And 'Drive we not free
O'er the terrible sea,
I and thou?'
One boat-cloak did cover
The loved and the lover--
Their blood beats one measure,
They murmur proud pleasure
Soft and low;--
While around the lashed Ocean,
Like mountains in motion,
Is withdrawn and uplifted,
Sunk, shattered and shifted
To and fro.
In the court of the fortress
Beside the pale portress,
Like a bloodhound well beaten
The bridegroom stands, eaten
By shame;
On the topmost watch-turret,
As a death-boding spirit
Stands the gray tyrant father,
To his voice the mad weather
Seems tame;
And with curses as wild
As e'er clung to child,
He devotes to the blast,
The best, loveliest and last
Of his name!

Is there regional coding on VC games that prevents usage because I do notice the my Genesis games are coded as Mega Drive. If so, can I download US versions to use or do I have to have a mod chip?

If you're heading to college this fall, or if you are preparing to send your children to college, you probably have a checklist: laptop, iPod, iPhone, chargers, clothes, dorm/apartment supplies, bathroom supplies, books for classes (this is probably the right order too), and so on. The elephant on the list, however, is a fat tuition check.
As the economy continues to wane, college costs are still no bargain. Recent survey results show that the number of people who are worried about being able to pay for college is on the rise. Paying for college can be a creative process, and borrowing for college can haunt you for decades after school is but a dim memory. And yet, the necessity for a college degree seems to permeate our society, and so we continue to repeat this process every year.

Guinness convictions go to appeal
Three businessmen convicted in the Guinness fraud trial more than 10 years ago have had their cases referred back to the Court of Appeal.
The cases of Anthony Parnes, Ernest Saunders and Gerald Ronson, who have been fighting to clear their names, will be heard by three appeal judges later this year.
The Criminal Cases Review Commission has already sent the conviction of Jack Lyons back to the Court of Appeal.
The four men were convicted in 1990 of involvement in a conspiracy to drive up the price of Guinness shares during a takeover battle.
European Court ruling
The European Court of Human Rights has already ruled the men had an unfair trial because they were compelled to provide details to Department of Trade and Industry inspectors, which was then used against them as primary evidence in the trial.
The four cases will be heard together after a judge said at a hearing last week they should be "consolidated".
Mr Parnes' solicitor, Keith Oliver, said on Monday that he welcomed the decision.
He said: "We will be co-operating fully with a view to ensuring that the appeal comes onto hearing as soon as possible in accordance with the wishes of the court."
Mr Parnes was convicted of four counts of false accounting and two counts of theft and had his original sentence of two and a half years reduced to 21 months on appeal in May 1991.
Mr Saunders was convicted of eight counts of false accounting, two counts of theft, and of conspiracy to contravene the Prevention of Fraud Act 1958.
He was jailed for a total of five years but in May 1991 the Court of Appeal reduced his sentence to two and half years.
Mr Ronson was sentenced to 12 months and fined Ł5m after being convicted of two counts of false accounting, one count of theft, and of conspiracy to contravene the Prevention of Fraud Act 1958.

It's not even Christmas yet (we know that because the Air Jordan XI Retro 'Concord' is still awaiting its early morning
mass mobs lineups), and already select Nike SB retailers are starting to get their January 2012 footwear in stock. Let's start with a Nike SB Dunk Low in a bold mix of navy blue, black and gold whose basketball-like pebbled underlay makes these even more of a reminder of Michigan's Nike days. Coming up next is something you might expect more from Wisconsin, a Golden Hops suede-backed Dunk Mid Pro SB whose black leather overlay that looks so supple they could be a Premium. The Stefan Janoski makes an unprecedented offering with black and Anthracite pairs releasing in both the lowtop and Mid silhouettes, a simple black suede design echoed by the 'SB Chronicles' Team Edition SE we've shown you a couple times this week. Rounding out the set are a 'Tiffany' Zoom Bruin SB and the Omar Salazar LR in navy and white, which means this is the first month in a while without a P-Rod signature model. We know for a fact there are more models on the way and we'll be showing a couple of Quickstrikes a bit later this morning, so click through for more of this set and meet all your Swoosh skateboarding needs with Premier.

Montreal Fires GM Pierre Gauthier
by PuckStopsHere on 03/29/12 at 02:05 PM ET
Comments (5)
Ever since Geoff Molson made statements that undermined GM Pierre Gauthier after Randy Cunneyworth was hired as coach and an outrage started over the fact he doesn't speak French people began to predict that Gauthier would be fired at the end of this season. This firing became more obvious as the Habs season fell apart. Currently they are in last place in the East Conference. Today his firing was announced.
There is nobody ready to take over as interim GM right now. It isn't clear that Montreal has anyone in mind as their new GM except that he must be French speaking. They are not concerned with finding the best possible GM candidate in the world. They are limiting themselves only to candidates who speak French. That is a mistake in and of itself. The best possible candidate is not who they are interested in.
Gauthier has been the Montreal GM for over two years and he has not had success with the team. Many of the problems were put into place before he was hired in Bob Gainey's regime. Gauthier did nothing to solve these problems.
I am surprised that he was fired before the end of the season with no GM in mind. Montreal will likely go through their remaining five games with no GM. They will hire a French speaking new GM early into the off-season. Whether or not it is an improvement depends on who is hired. The problem is the Habs are not interested in hiring the best possible GM as they have limited themselves to people who speak French.

With all the hype about Pierre McGuire and Patrick Roy, the darkhorse (or maybe not so dark horse) is Tampa Bay assistant GM Julien Brisebois.
Brisebois was assistant GM in Montreal under Gainey, but left to join Yzerman in Tampa. He had success as GM of the Hamilton Bulldogs and the Norfolk Admirals, has experience in the Monreal market, and is a francophone Quebecker. He's also young and extremely smart, with a great take on the modern business of hockey.
In other words, he's the ideal candidate for this job.

"an outrage started over the fact he doesn't speak French" This is what's wrong with Montreal. This team has it's work cut out for them.

"The best possible candidate is not who they are interested in."
I want to know where you take that from. Geoff Molson, asked by a French-speaking journalist if language mattered, said that it will be taken under consideration, but that it is not the goal itself, that the goal was to find the best hockey person. It would've been easy for him to say it's mandatory. Later asked, in English, if a unilingual candidate would be considered, he refused to rule it out. Add to that the nomination of Randy Cunneyworth (a decision he supported at the time, and still agrees with) as interim head coach, and it seems clear to me that language comes second. Now, Serge Savard contradicted him later on saying that whoever the next GM is would have to speak French at least minimally, but he's an adviser, and I'll take his boss' word over his.
I'm a French Québecer, though not at all a nationalist. I find it appalling that fans are giving the Habs brass a hard time for not hiring enough French talent, both management and on-ice. They are right, language indeed comes second for the Canadien, but I see that as a good thing, not a bad thing.
I'd love to see Trevor Timmins as GM. If all hockey operations were as well-managed as his scouting department, the Canadien would be a winner.
Posted by Jean on 03/29/12 at 03:06 PM ET
So with Gauthier gone who will translate for Cunneyworth?

I want to know where you take that from. Geoff Molson, asked by a French-speaking journalist if language mattered, said that it will be taken under consideration, but that it is not the goal itself, that the goal was to find the best hockey person.
Team source told RDS today the new GM would absolutely be a French-speaker.
Take a look around the league, think about organizational track-records and ask yourself who the best executives currently are. Your list would probably be something like: Shero, Holland, Chiarelli, Poile…maybe Yzerman (team sucks, but he's made some incredible moves considering the mess he inherited).
Now consider that the Canadians would not have hired any of them for reasons of regional marketing. Seem like the best way to try to win to you? That's PSH's point.
***to be clear, I'm not saying French speaking guys can't be good or even great GMs. I'm saying French-speaking isn't a trait that contributes to building a winner. Sorting through candidates with something unrelated to winning as a primary disqualifier makes the odds of finding an awesome GM quite a bit lower than they otherwise would be.

'Knights Moving' printed from http://nrich.maths.org/
Show menu
Two white and two black knights are positioned on part of a chess board as shown.
A knight can only move in the usual way
and can only land on an empty square.
Swap the positions of the white and black knights.
Can you prove you have succeeded in the minimum number of moves?
A knight can move two squares horizontally and one square vertically, or two squares vertically and one square horizontally. The complete move therefore looks like the letter 'L'.
Unlike all other standard chess pieces, the knight can 'jump over' all other pieces on route to its destination square.

How To Train Your Dog To "Sit Pretty"
We caught up with Dog Trainer Taylor and her super talented viral video stars Trick Dogs Lottie the Border Collie and Grizzly the Rescue German Shepherd. The trio put on three great shows at the recent Dog Lovers Days festival in Kitchener. Dog Lovers Days supported filming Taylor and her shows.
They are so well trained and both posed beautifully "Sitting Pretty" (in their bow tie and bow by HandMade in the Hammer) and giving each other hugs.
I have been trying to teach my dog Kilo the Pug to "Sit Pretty" with limited success. His body shape does not make it easy since he's top heavy and has very narrow hips. Grizzly being a German Shepherd also has a heavier top and long body so I got Taylor to give some tips on how to teach Kilo and your dogs.
Dog Training Tips By Taylor: "Sit Pretty"
Taylor explains that she only uses Positive Reinforcement techniques to train her dogs. She uses rewards such as food/treats, games, toys or affection to mark good behaviours. It's important to keep training a fun experience for the dog and the trainer. That way they will want to do tricks or commands for you.
The "Sit Pretty" trick does require lots of core strength and basic trick fundamentals like "sit" and "stay". Doing exercises like dog burpees, working on wobble boards and peanuts and "paws on the wall" or on your knee are a great way sto help build up your dog's core strength.
Our friends over at Slim Doggy also have some excellent suggestions.
How To "Sit Pretty"
Taylor showed us two ways to teach:
- Start by having your dog in a "sit" position and use a treat to lure your dog to sit up. They use their core strength to pull their paws up. Mark this action with a treat to positively reinforce the behaviour and repeat.
- For dogs who are having trouble balancing or may not have the core strength offer your arm as support. Then continue with step one.
This trick comes naturally to some dogs like border collies but for others like Kilo and Grizzly, it takes more practice. Every dog has their own way of performing this trick. Grizzly kind of leans back more. With patience and lots of practise and positive reinforcement, most dogs should be able to sit pretty. Always make sure the dog is in a safe spot so they can't fall and injure themselves.
My friend Diane from To Dog With Love mentioned that her beautiful Havanese Rocco had trouble balancing at first too. She mentioned some people teach the trick with the dog's back to the couch. This works for Kilo the Pug practising. We have been trying various methods all week but he still topples over or prefers to pop up on his hind legs and dance around. On the floor, his little froggy legs splay out so he really has to pull on a lot of muscles to hold the position. He has excellent balance and is very muscular so I think he just needs to find a position that works for him eventually.
Does your dog know this trick? Share tips and stories below.

RESIDENTS in a Northumberland village are coming to terms with the sudden closure of a nearby hotel and business venue.
Staff at Longhirst Hall were told on the morning of Friday, February 28 that they were losing their jobs because the Glasgow-based tenant management company which runs that part of the site, Hotel Lease (Number 3) Ltd, had ceased trading.
This also meant that dozens of couples have been left in the lurch as they had weddings booked at the venue for the coming weeks and months.
The hall was designed by famous architect John Dobson and built in the 1820s. It was once a school and a community home for children and in recent years, part of the building was used by Northumbria University and the former Castle Morpeth Council.
Longhirst Parish Council clerk Ian Thompson, who has lived in the village all his life, said: "It was a big shock when we heard about the closure.
"In November, I was at a hearing as the parish council had objected to an application by Longhirst Hall to increase its licensing hours. The company that took it on was determined to get the increase, so I'm surprised that it has gone bust just a few months later.
"A lot of money was spent in the early 1990s to bring the hall and its grounds back into use. Before it was leased out, the staff were very good at including the village in what it was doing and I was invited to give talks about the site's history and architecture.
"We hope that we're not going to get a long spell of inactivity at Longhirst Hall as that would not be good for the village."
The council's chairman, Bob Jackson, said the closure was very sad news, particularly as it was the biggest employer in Longhirst.
"We hope that a hotel operator will take on Longhirst Hall, but we have no idea about what's going to happen so it's a case of wait and see," he added.
The hotel and business conferencing properties were leased from owner Felton Property & Investments, which has not gone bust.
Northumberland Tourism staff have moved to alternative premises after having to leave their unit next to the hall, but it is business as usual for the Decoro spa and residents at Micklewood Park elsewhere on the site.
A spokeswoman for developers Dere Street Homes said: "Micklewood Park, private housing in the grounds of Longhirst Hall, is not affected by the current closure.
"Micklewood Park residents will continue to have rights to use the access road and grounds of the hotel.
"In addition, the golf and cricket, hockey and tennis clubs are in separate private ownership and those facilities are also unaffected."
Northumberland County Council is working to support those affected by the closure and couples who were due to get married at Longhirst Hall this year have already been contacted by a registrar and given advice about finding an alternative venue.
Those who made a booking at the venue for whatever reason can discuss their concerns and find out more about their rights by calling the Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 08454 040506.

Skyrim was not pirated before its release.
I seriously want to know: Were you anti-steam folks the same people that used to throw fits about cookies in your web browser?

However here's where my extreme technophobia takes over. I can't find the right video amongst a whole load of things.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please? (I do want to watch this as I am ham-fisted enough to find getting the lowers off difficult).

Eschalon: Book II - Impressions @ Gear Diary
by Aries100, 2010-05-18 15:50:53
Eschalon Book II, Basilisk Games latest chapter in its rpg series, has been played by the folks at Gear Diary. They have penned down their impressions of the game. Since many of us no doubt played the first game, here's something about how the game has advanced in the sequel:
But while it is similar to the original, don't mistake that for meaning there hasn't been any progress. As mentioned, you can now choose to play as a male or female character, and there have been a whole bunch of visual enhancements including the game now running at 1024 x 768 native resolution. But even within those changes there are a number of usability improvements that make the game even more fun to plow through!
