Uhuru Afrika, The Macrotones, Big Mean Sound Machine
69 Kilmarnock Street
Boston, MA, 02215
This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
The Macrotones' imperial afrofunk assault aims to slay. While rooted in groove-fertile afrobeat, the 10-strong militia's heart pounds with a more sinister urgency. Their commanding horns, drilling percussion section and puzzle-piece precise ideal of songcraft propels minds and dancing feet alike. Placed on bills with reggae, hip-hop and math-rock defenders, the Macrotones have found common ground among devotees of all jams.
Respectful of the Fela Kuti legacy, the Boston collective erupted out of a traditional afrobeat ensemble in 2007 knowing there were new, heavier directions to push toward. They maintained a focus on head-nodding simplicity, but added a face-slapping sting to the style. "Put these guys in tuxedos and they could rock a black wedding to the bone; keep them grimy and they'll continue smacking Boston's underground silly," wrote the Boston Phoenix. With a low and chunky bari-tenor-trombone horn section up front, a slinky tectonic deep end behind, and grinding organ and edgy guitar popping off all around, the band's sonic layering serves as a musical tactician's manual.
Solidly entrenched in Boston, the Macrotones have inspired crowds throughout the rest of New England and New York. Their first record, Wayne Manor – self-recorded, self-produced and self-released in 2008 – provides a snapshot of the crew's genesis. Described by one critic as "funk as modern as Wu-Tang Clan and as jazzy as old Chicago and Blood, Sweat, and Tears," the Macrotones are now pushing into darker territory. New tracks currently being recorded for the follow-up have been referred in blogs as "urban adventure soundtrack material" or simply "music for spies."
Fusing elements of Afrobeat, 60s Garage Rock, 70s Funk, and a Jamaican Dub sound
system, this hefty bunch is striving to create fresh music that will keep you on your toes all
night long. Ranging from 8 to 12 members, the Machine is a Big Mean wall of sound. The
Big Mean Sound Machine will take no prisoners.

Life cycle costing: a review of published case studies
Purpose - Despite existing life cycle costing (LCC) method descriptions and practicable suggestions for conducting LCC analyses, no systematic analyses on actual implementations of LCC methods exist. This paper aims to review reports on LCC applications to provide an overview of LCC uses and implementation feasibility. Design/methodology/approach - A review of LCC cases reported in academic and practitioner literature. Case reports were compared against one another and against the defining articles in the field. Findings - Most of the reported LCC applications were far from ideal. Compared to the methods suggested in the literature many of the case study applications: covered fewer parts of the whole life cycle, estimated the costs on a lower level of detail, used cost estimation methods based on expert opinion rather than statistical methods, and were content with deterministic estimates of life cycle costs instead of using sensitivity analyses. Research limitations/implications - This review is limited to reported LCC applications only. Further research is encouraged in the form of a field-based multiple-case study to reveal context-specific dimensions of LCC analysis and implementation challenges in more detail. Practical implications - This review highlights the difficulty of conducting a reliable LCC analysis, and points out typical problems that should be carefully considered before drawing conclusions from the LCC analysis. Originality/value - First systematic analysis of LCC applications that gives directions for further research on the LCC concept.

The Totally NEW Team Corwin Thread

The Holy Avenger sword was added to the Elite VoD loot list.
In the hands of a Paladin, it has both holy and axiomatic burst, radiance (4d6 light damage on crit, chance to blind), greater dispelling and spell resistance 35. Otherwise, it is a +5 Cold Iron Longsword.
Somewhat meh, as axiomatic burst only affects a smallish subset of critters, and holy only about half the critters. It only breaks Demon DR, so only the three or four Mariliths are affects. And the Demon queen is lawful I think. So either not much better, or worse than, the level 14 Holy Sword. The Spell resistance is the nicest part; 35 is the highest I've seen, and may even have a marked effect in epics; pre-epic it will be very powerful, though this is a ML18 sword.
re:money cap - You become premium by buying points in the store and buying something. You could just grab the cheapest points pack, but it's up to you if this game is worth that much or anything to you. Otherwise, I don't know of anyway to get that plat, and the mail will probably vanish after awhile.
On a further note, check the AH and brokers regularly. There was an Alchemical Light Hammer in the House D weapons broker, and I bought an Icy Bursted Paralyzing Khopesh off the AH for a mere 18,000pp. There was also a Jorgundal's collar for 58kpp, which gives 10% melee alacrity .In other words, very nice item to have. Yes I bought it and no you can't have it. The others up were close to 500k each.
Oh that? It's just the cat sir.

I've just got back from holiday from Orlando, Florida and had to review the service I received from Holiday Genie. The service we received from beginning to end has been outstanding, I couldn't fault anything. The lady who looked after my booking from beginning to end was fantastic, when booking the holiday over the phone she offered me lots of advice in helping us book our once in a lifetime family holiday. She was extremely patient listening to all our needs and helpful when booking the holiday. The hotel was great much better than expected. Not only this we had a bit of a scare at the airport as I had forgotten the paper part of my driving license and she called the car hire place and got straight back to me reassuring me it wasn't a problem. I received regular emails from her which were very helpful to the lead up to our holiday. I had an amazing holiday, everything went really smoothly, from the car hire, to the airport, the theme park tickets and the accommodation. We had a small problem with the GPS we hired and my agent told me she would sort the problem out for us so again the great customer service has continued even after we have got back from our holiday. I will definitely be using holiday genie again for our holiday next year and would happily recommend to others, fantastic company and exceptional customer service.

Jefferson County Library to move during renovations
By Charlie Bermant

Most Popular this week

According to Meredith Wagner, the library's assistant director, "We are going to start contacting our customers next week to let them know that the remodel is happening,"
"It is a big change for people," she said, "but it is also an opportunity for people to learn what we are going to do with the remodel."
The aim is to make the library a more welcoming and modern facility, said Library Director Ray Serebrin.
The library located at 620 Cedar Ave. in Port Hadlock is scheduled to close Dec. 2 and to reopen after about two weeks at its temporary location, 51 Colwell Road, which is across from Circle and Square Auto Care on Rhody Drive.
The library will be moving portions of its collection to the 5,000-square-foot space, which is less than half the size of the current location.
The temporary location will be a bare-bones operation with no wireless service and a smaller selection of materials, though patrons will be able to order items from the main collection.
The renovation is estimated to cost $700,000, $300,000 from an earmarked library fund and the remainder through a private
fundraising campaign.
As of Friday the library was about $6,000 shy of the goal, according to Serebrin.
The project is less ambitions than an $8.4 million plan that was defeated by the voters in August 2011.
If it had been approved, the measure would have raised property taxes by $44 a year for 20 years for a house valued at $250,000, which is the average home value in the library district.
"After we lost the bond issue, the conditions that led to the proposal still existed; we were still overcrowded and needed more resources," Serebrin said.
"So we looked at other ways to accomplish this."
Instead of a massive rebuild, the renovation project will add about 500 square feet to the public library area and reconfigure that space in order to make the library holdings more accessible.
The bookmobile barn attached to the main building will be replaced by an auxiliary building, and the current area will be renovated and used for storage.
Displays will be streamlined to make the library more welcoming.
Shelves will be reoriented to better display the front of a book, while the media will be moved to the back corner "in the same way that a supermarket displays milk and eggs," Serebrin said.
Other improvements include redesigned seating and lounge space; improved layout to ease congestion; better lighting and the new self-checkout stations.
Serebrin said the temporary location will be able to serve the basic needs of people who want to use the library with some restrictions.
The most significant is a lack of space; lack of WiFi ibecause there will be no place for people to sit down; and a parking lot that could have difficulty accommodating all of the patrons.
But once the project is finished, it will be worth the wait, Serebrin said.
"When you come in here any afternoon, the place is jammed, and you see scores of people everywhere," he said.
"It gives us pain to cut back our services," he said.
"But we are doing this (renovation) for a greater purpose, to create a more navigable, comfortable and useful library for the public."
Serebrin acknowledged that libraries have changed from the days when librarians would intimidate anyone who dared to make a sound but said that some people still visit libraries in search of quiet.
"For much of our clientele, who may be older, they have the idea that there may be a sense of tranquility and repose in a library." he said.
"Right now, we don't have it at all, so part of the effort was to create zones of tranquillity that allow people to study, read and think and create a little bit of space that provides a sort of time out from the crazy world we are living in."

Lifetime value is how much a customer is worth to you over the entire period that they will do business with you. For example, if your average customer spends R200 every time he or she makes a purchase from you, and that customer will typically make one purchase a month and do business with you for five years, their lifetime value is as follows:
R200 x 12 months x 5 years = R12 000
Business owners can effectively boost their profits and the sustainability of their businesses by increasing the lifetime value of their customers. The trick is to change your focus from the single sale now to understanding the idea of lifetime value.
For example, let's say you embark on a campaign to generate new sales leads that costs you R10 000. You get 200 new leads from the campaign. Effectively, each lead has cost you R50. Of these leads, 80 become customers, spending an average of R500 with you twice a year. Your average customer lifetime is two years.
That means that the lifetime value of your customer is R2 000. With 80 new customers spending R2 000 over their customer lifetime period, your campaign has generated R160 000.
And that does not take into account the fact that those 80 new customers might bring you referral business. If 10 of your new customers tell just one friend who buys from you, that's an additional R20 000 worth of business of lifetime value, which means your campaign has generated R180 000.
Related: Your Customers' 'Why' Is More Important Than Their 'Want'
Think long-term
You see, it's not just about the people that your campaign attracts, but the profit you will make from them and their referrals over the course of several years. It's not about market share — it's about wallet share. Instead of trying to get the biggest slice of the market, business owners should focus their attention on increasing the amount of money they make from each customer, over a period of time.
The critical thing is to turn each customer into a lifetime customer. And the way you do that is through customer service, building customer relationships and focusing on generating repeat business.
The truth is that many businesses require customers to make a second purchase before they break even (e.g. if it cost you R200 to acquire the customer and she only spent R100 with you the first time she did business with you). Repeat business is the sure way to profit. And the fact is that it's up to six times less expensive to sell to an existing customer than acquire a new customer.
Type of business
Obviously, your customer lifetime will be different depending on the type of business you run. If you sell cars, your customers might buy once from you every five years, but over a period of 20 years. In that case, you can increase your lifetime value by using car services or add-on products to generate additional repeat business.
Related: Your MVP Isn't Really Viable Until Your Potential Customers Say So
If, on the other hand, you run a quick-service restaurant, your customers probably purchase far more frequently, but for a lower value. You might attract additional repeat business by introducing a loyalty programme where customers get their tenth meal free.
Whatever the case, you can boost your profits by finding customers who will be with you for the long term and ensuring that you take good care of them.

A former University of Georgia doctoral student has admitted he masterminded a scheme that stole credit card numbers from hundreds of victims and netted about $150,000.
Carlton Adam Leroi Lewis III pleaded guilty to federal charges and could spend nearly six years in prison as part of a plea agreement that was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Knoxville, Tenn.
The 25-year-old Lithonia man recruited servers at restaurants throughout the Southeast to steal customers' credit and debit account numbers, then used the information to make fake cards for expensive shopping sprees, according to an indictment filed last month.
Lewis converted ill-gotten merchandise to cash by selling it over the Internet, according to the indictment.
The scheme began to unravel in March, when a trooper with the Tennessee Highway Patrol arrested Lewis in Knoxville on a DUI charge and found a skimming device, fake credit cards, newly purchased electronics and other merchandise, according to the indictment.
At the time, Lewis was in a UGA psychology doctorate program, but had yet to enroll for the summer semester or pre-registered for the fall semester.
Authorities expect that a continuing investigation by the U.S. Secret Service will result in charges against conspirators.
The five-count federal indictment includes charges that could send Lewis to prison for a maximum of 35 years, but he could avoid the lengthy sentence if a judge accepts his plea agreement when Lewis returns to court on Nov. 3.

Application using ID3TagPanel.framework?
ID3TagPanel.framework is exactly what I searched for simply showing the ID3Tag of MP3 files I have on my hard disk, but imported to iTunes. Is there any known application using the framework, I think of a small and simple app, only for viewing and editing the tags.

Can't compile
Let me start by saying I'm really glad this project is here,
and if this post is pointing out any inadequacies, they're all in
me, not this project. That said, I can't get it to compile,
though I'm sure I'm just being an idiot. When I open the file
(in Xcode) I get two red entries off the bat, ID3.framework
and ID3Panel.framework. The absolute path for
ID3.framework is somewhere in Chris' home, so I change it
to (what I think is) the correct path for me. ID3Panel also
has the wrong path, but won't let me change it, so I readd it.
Then I go to compile and fail and "Errors and Warnings"
turns red but doesn't appear to have any entries. Any
thought? I hope I'm just being an idiot.

ePortfolios at a Crossroads
Trent Batson
EDUCAUSE released the findings from its annual Survey of Undergraduate Students and
Information Technology in September 2013.
While EDUCAUSE had kindly offered AAEEBL the opportunity to read and
edit a sidebar in the report regarding eportfolios, the report as whole, in its
design, revealed an odd understanding of eportfolios.
The following quotation from the Report suggests that
students were led to believe that eportfolios fit into an odd category of
something they call "experimental experiences."
In investigating the
magnitude of use of open educational resources, e-texts, simulations and games,
and e-portfolios, we found that these are experimental experiences for most
students; they typically have used them in one class or on occasion rather than
as part of their education resource ecosystem.
We also found that students are not telling us they want these resources
used more – in fact, interest is either flat or decreasing.
p. 39, ECAR Report
In the same report, however, we find that 52% of all
students used eportfolios at some point in their undergraduate career. Therefore, we can surmise that ePortfolios
may be implemented, to one degree or another, on over half of the 4,000 or so
U. S. institutions of higher learning.
How can they be so common and yet referred to as "experimental
AAEEBL's 2013 Annual Conference was "ePortfolio Coming of
Age." For us in the eportfolio community
to see more evidence of Casey Green's finding in 2010 that over half of U. S.
institutions then had eportfolios on
their campus, the ECAR Report was gratifying, despite its odd characterization
of eportfolios. ePortfolio adoption is
indeed spreading in U. S. higher education and in higher education around the
In our field, we are aware of the multitude and disruptive
ways that eportfolios can be used. We
can envision an educational enterprise built around evidence-based learning and
assessment. That enterprise
(institution) could be more aligned with learners' needs today after their
transformation. With our sense of the
potential of eportfolio technology, in concert with mobile computing in a
multi-modal world, ECAR's characterization of eportfolios borders on bizarre. It reflects a shallow perception of
AAEEBL and the community need to do more to open eyes. Yet, we find ourselves in a chicken and egg
situation: does transformation come
first or do eportfolios come first? In the report, we find that three-quarters
of those students using eportfolios use them in only one class. ePortfolios, on most campuses, therefore must
seem "experimental" since only one or
a few faculty members are using them.
(Note that the ECAR Report is based on student responses, and not on reports from administrators who might
have also included institutional use of eportfolios for institutional research
and tracking student progress toward learning outcomes. Since this kind of data was not included in
the Report, we can assume the spread of eportfolios in higher education is
Since Kenneth C. Green's report in 2010 that half of all
institutions had eportfolios, the ECAR Report shows a sky-rocketing of student
use of eportfolios up through 2012, leveling off in the last year. Combing the Green data with ECAR's, we can
suggest that eportfolio penetration of U. S. higher education could easily be
60 or 70%. Reports from the industry add
credence to this supposition.
But, there is another incipient movement that could be
encouraging for us eportfolio advocates.
Some eportfolio providers who offer both an LMS and an eportfolio
platform, have integrated the two or are considering doing so. Other providers offer both an assessment
management module (for tracking student progress toward learning outcomes) and
a student eportfolio module. It is not
hard to imagine the LMS, which has saturated higher education, adding
eportfolio capabilities and eventually altering how eportfolios are marketed
and used.
If we consider that nearly 100 percent of faculty and
students use an LMS, adding eportfolio capabilities to the LMS would result in
a much quicker uptake of eportfolio use than using the current marketing of LMS
and eportfolio as separate enterprise products.
If faculty members already are familiar with how an LMS works – its
ethos, terminology, structure – they would find added eportfolio "spaces"
easier to navigate than they would in a brand new and separate eportfolio
Right now, of all courses or classes taken on campuses in
the U. S., again according to ECAR, most students only encounter one or two
eportfolio courses. At the same time,
100% of students encounter an LMS course.
The best way, from an industry perspective, to enter the market
ambitiously could then be to offer a better LMS and then make it even better by adding eportfolio capabilities.
There are of course real complications to overcome since the
LMS is owned by the institution and its faculty while eportfolios are supposed
to be owned by students. The LMS is
course-based and the eportfolio is learner-based; one is vertical, the other
horizontal. The gestalt of each platform
is a polar opposite.
Yet, it is very possible that this is exactly how the market
will begin to swing: LMS companies
developing eportfolio capabilities and eportfolio use then grows as an adjunct
to LMS use.
The eportfolio stack might then look like:
Learning eportfolio
Assessment management system
Learning management system (LMS)
And all of it will be called an LMS.
I am not saying I believe
this is how things will play out. But I
do know that this scenario will be part
of how things play out.
Does this scenario mean that the values our community sees
in eportfolios will be championed and supported? It would seem that the danger would be,
instead, that the market may drive eportfolios away from learning-centered and
back toward teaching-centered, at least within the academy.
Our Association and the community need to advocate for
eportfolio values. We need to continue
to demand that our providers understand the purpose and the transformational
power of eportfolios. The new website
that AAEEBL has launched (not fully provisioned with content yet, alas), can
help in this advocacy: you can add your
own voice as part of AAEEBL's advocacy via the forums and blogs and groups at
the new AAEEBL site.
As a global community, we have a potentially strong
voice. We are at a crossroads; eportfolio
use is spreading but we find very little understanding in general of how
eportfolio can best be used; the enterprise-transformation power of eportfolios
is even less understood; the LMS providers seem to be looking at the eportfolio
market as a new growth path. The
crossroads, then, presents two dangers:
1. ePortfolios
continuing as an "experimental experience."
2. ePortfolios
growing in use but strongly flavored by the LMS ethos.
As the market grows, it becomes more attractive to
investment. Let's make sure that investment moves us in good directions.

Clot removal device improves stroke outcome
By Martha Kerr
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters Health) - A device that suctions out blood clots in the brain causing acute stroke proved safe and effective and was associated with improved neurological outcome on all measures, even when used eight hours after the onset of the stroke, according to results of a study.
The mechanical device, known as the Penumbra System and marketed by Penumbra, Inc., of San Leandro, California, helped improve blood flow to the brain in 82 percent of 125 patients studied.
A favorable neurological outcome at 30 days occurred in roughly 42 percent of patients.
The trial results were announced by Dr. Cameron McDougall of Barrows Neurological Institute in Phoenix, Arizona, at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2008, held here this past week.
The Penumbra System did not malfunction but there were four adverse procedural events in four patients. At 24 hours, 35 patients (28 percent) had bleeding in the brain.
Death from any cause was 26 percent at 30 days and 33 percent at 90 days.
There was a "high rate" of reopening of previously blocked passageways within blood vessels, McDougall told meeting attendees. "The trend for a better outcome when vessels were opened was consistently observed across all neurological and functional measures," he added.
The Penumbra System has been approved for use in Europe since June 2007 and it just received US FDA approval in December 2007.

The King's Daughter
Dell, a committed Christian and temperance worker, was anguished when she moved back to her father's village tavern. Challenged to do good, she found much opposition when she ran the household in a bright, clean way. She repeatedly had to go back to her heavenly Father for strength and direction.
"She had forgotten for a moment whose child she was. The King's Daughter! She must not forget that. Truly she had a Father whom not only all the earth but all heaven adored." An important verse is Isaiah 55:8—"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord."

Benjamin Bisbee
Benjamin Earl Bisbee, a long-time Hood River resident, passed away on Oct. 1, 2005, at Mid-Columbia Medical Center in The Dalles, Ore. He was 88 years of age.
Ben was born May 12, 1917, in Telluride, Colo. He moved at an early age to Newberg, Ore., and then later to Hood River, where he graduated as valedictorian from Hood River High School.
He served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II. He participated in service in Guadalcanal and other parts of the Solomon Islands, as a Master Sergeant.
After the war, he returned to Hood River to grow fruit with his brother, Roy Bisbee, for Duckwall Fruit Co.
In 1959, Ben and Roy sold a patent to Stark Brothers Fruit Co. for an apple they had grafted together and patented. The apple was called the "Bisbee Red."
In 1961, he married Laura Jean (Mitchell) Collins.
Ben served on the Hood River Memorial Hospital Board for many years. He was also a member of the Elks, Eagles and Hood River Gun Club. He served as Fire Chief of both Westside and Odell Fire departments. He was a Cub Scout leader for many years, with Odell Troop 378.
Ben enjoyed many activities including hunting, fishing, camping, rock hunting and just being in the woods.
He was preceded in death by his parents and both sisters, Rose and Daisy, and brother, Roy.
Survivors include brothers Ralph Bisbee, Robert Bisbee and Lester Bisbee; his wife, Laura Jean Bisbee of The Dalles; stepdaughter Sally Ann (Collins) Vencill and husband Beau of Philomath, Ore.; stepson Jack R. Collins III and wife Laurie, of Hood River; son, Ben J. Bisbee of Hood River; daughter, Laura (Lisa) Boss and husband, Mark, of Parkdale, Ore.; son, Brian Bisbee and wife, Deanna, of Hood River. He is also survived by 11 grandchildren.
A graveside service will be held at Pine Grove Butte Cemetery at 2687 Van Horn Dr., Hood River, on Oct. 6 at 2 p.m.

Randy Moss Is A Sideline Reporter For The Pro Bowl, But, Unfortunately, It Is Just Some Guy Named Randy Moss
It takes a lot to make one really angry about the Pro Bowl. No one cares about the Pro Bowl—not football fans, not gamblers, not even the players in the game. It's a nice Hawaiian lark before the Super Bowl.

Thinking of bacteria in terms of the infections and specific diseases they cause is deeply rooted in medicine. From the germs that cause flesh-eating infections or gangrene to the bacteria responsible for things like strep throat, sinus infections, and urinary tract infections, today microbes are still a powerful force to be reckoned with.

As scientific knowledge of bacteria and the human immune system advances, however, researchers have begun to confront the more subtle effects of bacteria – effects that may take place over years and involve multiple interactions and contingencies.

Such bacterial effects would not produce an infection as we have come to think of infections – that is, nothing noticeable such as pneumonia, or bloody diarrhea, or even as much as a fever or a sneeze.

Gut Bacteria: Friend or Foe?

Instead, they are seemingly innocent co-passengers in life – harmless squatters living in our intestines and other areas, otherwise known as the normal flora. Normal flora help us in many different ways, however, researchers believe that an imbalance in the types of bacterial hitchhikers found in the mix might have a role in complex diseases, such as autoimmune syndromes, allergies, and even cancer – that's the idea, at least.

Of course, the opposite may also true. The right balance of intestinal bacteria might actually have a protective effect over time in some cases. Cancer is a multifactorial disease, and no one is proposing gut bacteria alone hold the key to cancer prevention, but this is one of many avenues being explored.

Doctors have long known that particular species composition of the microscopic "garden" in the intestines can be important to health in illness. As scientists continue to learn new things about how the human immune system works, and how bacteria interact with it, the concept of the microbiome has emerged: the human microbiome refers to all of our microbes' genes and can be considered a counterpart to the human genome – all of our genes. The genes in our microbiome outnumber the genes in our genome by about 100 to 1.

The concept of good and bad bacteria in the microbiome has made its way into the public consciousness as well, in the form of probiotics, prebiotics, and functional foods.

· Probiotic refers to live microorganisms that are intended to have health benefits.

· Prebiotics can be thought of as particular nutrients – often partially digestible carbohydrates – that "feed" the good bacteria, or otherwise potentially help to promote a good balance between beneficial and harmful gut bacteria.

· Functional foods are products that have a potentially positive effect on health, beyond basic nutrition.

As you can see, the way these terms are defined, there is no guarantee of effectiveness – which reflects the both the budding stage of the science and the complexity of proving that there are indeed benefits.

Bacteria and Cancer Risk

Scientists once believed that bacteria didn't seem to have "the right stuff" to cause cancer, in contrast to viruses. Even today, the list of viruses linked to cancer is very long compared with bacteria. And while it may be true that viruses can more easily fan the flames of malignancy development compared with bacteria, it is also true that bacteria are capable of contributing to the development of certain malignancies.

In the early 2000s, for instance, the bacterium Helicobacter pylori – known for its role in stomach ulcers – was clearly linked to gastric cancer. Once considered "fringe scientists," today many researchers looking into links between bacteria and complex diseases such as cancer are no longer considered unorthodox in their hypotheses and research efforts.

H. Pylori and Lymphoma

H. Pylori and MALT Lymphoma of the Stomach:

A rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is associated with the bacterium H. Pylori. The cancer is called "marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue," or MALT, for short.

Gastric MALT lymphoma accounts for fewer than 1 in 20 cancers that start in the stomach. Gastric MALT lymphoma involves B-lymphocytes, a type of immune cell, in the stomach lining.

Coxiella Burnetii and Others

The bacteria that cause an infection called Q Fever – Coxiella burnetii – are excreted in milk, urine, and feces and present in the amniotic fluid of infected animals. Veterinarians and people who work with livestock are especially at risk. For some time, people with lymphoma were thought to be at increased risk for Q fever.

However, a study reported in the October 2015 issue of the journal "Blood" suggests people with Q Fever may actually be more likely to develop lymphoma. Investigators screened 1,468 patients treated at the French National Referral Center for Q Fever from 2004 to 2014 and found seven people who developed lymphoma after C. burnetii infection. Six patients were diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and one with follicular lymphoma. These and other bacteria may have a causal link to lymphoma in some cases, but research looking into this question is still ongoing.

Studying Lymphoma Risk and Gut Bacteria

Scientists at UCLA interested in how gut bacteria might affect the development of cancer have been testing their hypotheses in mice that have a diseased gene related to a human genetic disease, ataxia telangiectasia.

In humans, ataxia telangiectasia, or A-T, is a recessive genetic illness of childhood that occurs in one out of 100,000 people. People with A-T tend to develop lymphoid malignancies at a greater rate than others. About 30 to 40 percent of A-T patients develop a cancer of some type during their life, and more than 40 percent of all tumors in A-T patients are non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, about 20 percent are acute lymphocytic leukemias, and 5 percent are Hodgkin's lymphomas.

In their animal studies, researchers used mice with a mutated ATM gene, responsible for high rates of leukemia, lymphomas, and other cancers.

Some mice were given only anti-inflammatory bacteria and others a mix of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory microbes. Results showed that lymphoma development was delayed in those mice receiving the anti-inflammatory bacteria alone.

How Might Gut Bacteria Decrease Risk?

Researchers then used a similar experimental design, involving the mice, to explore how gut bacteria might delay the onset of lymphoma. They found that those mice that received only the anti-inflammatory bacteria secreted metabolites known to prevent cancer in their feces and urine. Mice given these "good bacteria" also seemed to break down certain nutrients in a way that is believed to result in less cancer risk.

Mice given anti-inflammatory bacteria developed lymphoma more slowly than the comparator mice. The beneficial bacteria also increased the lifetime of the mice four-fold, and reduced DNA damage and inflammation.

The hope is that probiotics might one day help reduce the risk of developing cancer through these anti-inflammatory properties.

This page describes how to contribute, note that it is important that if you provide a patch that you check the radio button to allow your patch for inclusion in ASF software.
We do not normally put contributor names in source files, but I'll happily list you as a contributor in our POM (I'll make sure to not include your email address). Could you please provide the above improvment as patch and add it as an attachment to this issue and I'll commit it.
Again, thanks for your work!
Thanks for the hints about searching in the source code. I done so but I'm not still sure about when it should return null.
I can provide a patch with my understanding of the method but I'm not sure that my idea is the same that the orginal designer had.
Maybe there some instruction how to create and submit patches.
In general I think that the documentation of the interfaces (and the interfaces API designing) are really a important issues.
A library become useful when its API is usable. I don't know if this apply to yours project.
I'll subscribe the mailling list anyway.
Please put my name (Andrea Francia) but not my email address somewhere in the credits if you want to use my contribution.
- Authenticate user (or not).
- This method shall:

-
return a not null
{@see User}
object reference if the
- authentication succeeds

-
throws a
{@see AuthenticationFailedException}
if the authentication
- fails

-

- @param authentication could be:

-

{@see org.apache.ftpserver.usermanager.AnonymousAuthentication}
- in the case of anonymous authentication

-

{@see org.apache.ftpserver.usermanager.UsernamePasswordAuthentication}
- in the case of a normal authentication

-

- @throws AuthenticationFailedException if the authentications fails (e.g.
- wrong password, unexistent username, anonymous authentication
- not accepted).
- @return the authenticated user (must be not null)
User authenticate(Authentication authentication)
throws AuthenticationFailedException;
Patches are of course welcome, if not, a general overhaul of the Javadocs is planned before 1.0.
You can check the current implementations of UserManager to solve these questions so I don't know if this should be "major priority". Anyway, If you provided better documentation Im sure Niklas will be glad to add it.
My understanding is that you're only trying to point a deficiency in the documentation and not that you don't know the answers to those questions yourself. Otherwise, feel free to ask - the mailing list is too quiet anyway.

Julian Ovenden, who plays the Grim Reaper in the new Maury Yeston-Thomas Meehan musical "Death Takes a Holiday" has bowed out of the production due to laryngitis.
Says Ovenden: "I am deeply saddened to have to say goodbye."
Producers said Wednesday that Kevin Earley, who had been substituting for Ovenden since July 19, takes over officially for the rest of the run which ends Sept. 4.
The Roundabout Theatre Company's production, which is playing off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre, is based on the Italian drama of the same name by Alberto Casella.
The plot, which tells the story of Death taking human form and falling in love, was made into the 1998 film "Meet Joe Black" with Brad Pitt.

A Funeral Mass for Sam Lesseig will be held Friday at 10:00 a.m.
Fri, 30 Aug 2013 04:22:03 GMT —
Lesseig joined the university as a member of the Mathematics department in 1963 and started the women's golf program in 1985.
A Funeral Mass will be Friday, August 30, at 10:00 a.m., at Mary Immaculate Catholic Church.
Truman State University mourns the passing of Sam Lesseig, Associate Professor Emeritus of Mathematics and Head Women's Golf Coach.
Lesseig joined the university as a member of the Mathematics department in 1963 and started the women's golf program in 1985.
He was the only head coach in the 28-year history of the Truman women's golf team after helping a motivated group of golfers initiate the program.
Lesseig coached two all-Americans and 14 academic all-Americans while leading the Bulldogs to 11 postseason appearances at the National Golf Coaches Association Division II National Championships and the NCAA Division II and III Women's Golf Championships.
In 1999-2000, four members of the team were named to the NGCA all-academic team, the most in school history.
The Bulldogs qualified as a team for the inaugural NCAA meet and returned as a squad after a thrilling second place playoff finish at regionals in 2006-07.
Truman finished eighth that year at the national meet held in Houston, Texas.
Lesseig served on the NCAA Women's Golf Committee for a total of nine years and was Truman's interim athletics director during the 1988-89 school year.
Lesseig had been a mathematics professor at Truman since 1963. In 1961, he received a bachelor's degree from Fort Hays State University (Kan.), and in 1963, he earned a master's degree from Kansas State University.
He is survived by his wife, Dee, and their three children. Sons Vance ('87) and Corey ('89) both competed for the men's golf team at Truman, while his daughter Kristen ('88) was a two-time academic all-American for the women's squad.

SVG scrubber and optimizer
Scour is a Python module that aggressively cleans SVG files, removing a lot of unnecessary information that certain tools or authors embed into their documents. The goal of scour is to provide an identically rendered image (i.e. a scoured document should have no discernable visible differences from the original file) while minimizing the file size.
WARNING: Scour is intended to be run on files that have been edited in Vector Graphics editors such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. Scour attempts to optimize the file, and as result, it will change the file's structure and (possibly) its semantics. If you have hand-edited your SVG files, you will probably not be happy with the output of Scour.
Never use scour to overwrite your original file!
This package also provides a dh_scour debhelper extension which optimizes all shipped SVGs during package build. If python-rsvg and python-cairo are available, it will also do a before/after comparison and discard the optimized image if they differ by more than 0.05%.

George Ashman and Jane Borbe each reported an interesting acquisition at the Jan. 14 meeting of the Palmerton Area Historical Society.
Ashman said David Snyder, son of Richard Snyder, provided some of the scripts written by Richard in the early days of Channel 13.
"We could not have gotten them anywhere else," Ashman said.
Borbe had a picture Warren Siegmond made of the Little White Church and a framed poem about the sounds of yesterday. Both will hang in the church. There will be a dedication in May.
The church roof has been inspected and slates replaced as needed. Twelve-year-old Angelina Rex provided a red, white and blue snowflake to be included in the patriotic decorations for the Christmas ecumenical service. Two hundred people visited during the Concourse Club house tour which included the church.
Pins and books from the Veterans' Memorial dedication are available at the Heritage Center, as well as the "Holiday Memories" book.
Borbe presented the first item in the annual show and tell program. She had about a two-yard loop of fiber. It was a watch chain and came with a note: "Dear Robert, Grandpa wanted you to have this." It was Grandpa's watch chain made of hair. She also had a funeral invitation edged in black from a funeral director which had been sent to John Brader.
Mary Kocher had a double piece of wire in a U shape ending with a figurehead. She did not know what it was. One person said the figure looked like Humpty Dumpty.
Mary Tashler passed around a miniature Roman chariot. It was a cigarette holder from the 1940s. She also had a small milk bottle of the kind used in school.
"We took turns being on milk duty. We took it around to the various classes and left it at the door," she said. A bottle of milk cost three cents. A cased picture from 1861 also held a love note. It was "a token of his love" on May 8, 1861.
Betsy Burnhauser had a string holder from a store. Purchases were wrapped in a bundle and tied rather than bagged.
Lucille Rex had both a regular size meat grinder and a small one. She uses the small one to grind nuts "almost into a powder." It was one of the few items saved from a fire on the family homestead and was found in the yard after the fire. Borbe used a grinder like the large-size one to make hash.
Shirley Wagner had a bottle with a spout. It was used to put oil into a car. The bottle was filled from a large container. It bears a 1922 patent date. The Wagners had bought a house and found it lying on the garage floor.
Marion Bossard displayed a decorative shoehorn brought home from Bangkok by her son.
Marlene Greenwood had a piece of wood with many slots cut in it. It was used to make pompoms or fluff rugs which were made in Shelby, N.C.
A wagon or carriage jack was presented by Carol Stefanik.
Her grandmother's coffee grinder was shown by Perma Borger. She digressed, saying she went to the Reformed Sunday School on Columbia Avenue. It had begun as a chapel. They drank untested water from a spring in the basement. The Sunday School was a lot of fun, and was where she met her husband.
Jim Burnhauser had a carpet tack remover from the days when carpets were nailed to the floor.
George Ashman, instead of a thing, had trivia from comic strips. From "Bringing Up Father" he asked what Jiggs' favorite meal was corned beef and cabbage. "Blondie's" first baby was Baby Dumpling who never grew up. Later children Alexander and Cookie did age. The people in "Gasoline Alley" aged over the lifetime of the comic strip.
Ashman said he and his young friends toured the neighborhood because different people received different papers with different comic strips and they wanted to see them all.
Borbe showed some additional items such as a bootjack that, when folded, looked like a gun and she had a bullet mold. Among her mother's things was a July 3, 1923, second prize certificate for a 50-yard potato race.
A man presented a minutes book from Lower Towamensing schools with a special meeting so interesting that Burnhauser read part of it. It showed when the various schools were built and that the bell at Delaware School was bought from Sears Roebuck.
Kocher told about some of her memories of days gone by. She came to Palmerton on the train in 1946 and the first thing they saw was the Greek church on the hill.

Preview: Team Bath v Surrey Storm
03 February 2012
Form Guide
Storm travel to Team Bath today after a promising start to the Fiat Netball Superleague. An away win at Mavericks was followed up with a 66-38 first home win over Loughborough Lightning, which put Storm top of the table on goal difference over Northern Thunder.
In contrast, Team Bath have got off to a stuttering start, losing their opening game to the surprise package of the season, Celtic Dragons and going down 45-55 in a tightly contested clash against Thunder. With two defeats from two, Bath will be looking to come out strong at home to Storm and get their season back on track in the chase for a spot in the top four after Stage 1.
Head to Head
Surrey Storm and Team Bath have enjoyed a competitive rivalry in recent years, with both teams gunning for the Superleague title during the last two seasons. In 09/10, both teams took wins before Team Bath knocked Storm out in the playoffs 42-57 on their way to the title.
Last year Bath again took the spoils away at Surrey, before Storm secured an away win of their own and then ultimate revenge in the playoffs, knocking out the champions in their own court 53-57 after a thrilling last quarter comeback.
With three wins each, both teams have the opportunity to take a lead in the rivalry, and a win for Storm will put them well on the way to securing a top two finish after Stage 1, and condemn Team Bath to an unprecedented three defeats on the bounce.
Ins and Outs
Undoubtedly the biggest story of Friday's match is the return of Storm's summer signing, Pamela Cookey to her old club Team Bath. Cookey has secured her place in Team Bath history, but will be looking to help Storm to an all important away win with a strong scoring and attacking performance.
The match will also see Greenway, Dunn and Cookey play together again at Team Bath for the first time since Tamsin and Rachel left Bath in 2009, and with all three now in the black and blue of Surrey Storm, fans of both sides will be intrigued to see how they link up again on their return.
Storm travel to Bath with the same squad that despatched Loughborough Lightning at home last week, with the addition of Rhianne McHale who returns from holiday and will be looking to make her mark on the team.
Jess Garland's Team Bath are currently undergoing somewhat of a transitional period, with a lot of their renowned production line of university talent getting their first Superleague court-time this season.
Player-coach Tamsin Greenway is looking for an all-round performance from the squad in tonight's match and admits the prospect of returning to Bath with Cookey and Dunn excites her. She said, "Last week we started really well against Loughborough, but we tailed off towards the end. Tonight we will be looking to perform at our best for 60 minutes, and get another important win against a talented Bath side.
"I was really impressed with Lorraine last week and so she deserves her place again in the squad. Elsewhere I'll be hoping to get Kat Ainsworth on court as she has recovered from her broken finger.
"There's a lot of talk and excitement of the return of Pam to Bath, and with myself and Rachel we all have great memories of playing there. We are all now on a new and exciting journey with Surrey Storm, and we'll be looking to perform as an attacking unit and ensure it's a happy return for us with a convincing win."
The match at the Team Bath Sports Arena is a sell-out with no tickets available on the door.
