The strategic bequest motive: evidence from SHARE
AbstractThis paper examines whether the empirical evidence supports the strategic bequest motive, as opposed to pure altruism, using SHARE data on ten European countries. The availability of internationally comparable data, as in SHARE, allows exploiting the cross-country variability in inheritance laws and cultural backgrounds to identify the operation of a strategic bequest motive determining the attention that adult children provide to their elderly parents.

Patient Comments: Strep Throat - Diagnosis
How was your strep throat diagnosed?
Comment from: Mary, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: September 29
I had strep throat when I was a child but it wasn't so bad. Now I'm 25 and this whole year I've had really really bad episodes of strep, already 5-6 times, everytime with very high fever (to 40 degrees C). Needless to say, this whole year has been a nightmare! Now I am sick again. When I am healthy, I will have the tonsils removed (at last, because it's so hard to get an operation nowadays, at least where I live). I can't wait for it. Strep is one of the worst things in the world!
Comment from: Soulfiregirl, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: February 22
I went to bed on Saturday night and woke up Sunday with the worst throat pain and headache in my life. My body ached and I had chills. Went to the doctor on Monday. He swabbed my throat and yep. It's strep. He gave me Amoxicillin. It's Wednesday and the headache and fever is gone but my throat still hurts like mad. I clench my fists every time I swallow! I just want this gone! I don't even have tonsils so how on earth did I get this dreadful illness.
Comment from: Sickbaby, 3-6 Male (Caregiver) Published: October 24
My son had two negative strep tests over a three week period. Finally, today the white patches were noticed and antibiotics were prescribed. The doctor today didn't even do a swab, he just wrote out the prescription. The testing isn't always reliable so it's best to keep asking if you think strep is a possibility.
Comment from: I_Hate_Being_Sick, 7-12 Male (Patient) Published: January 27
I have sore throat for 2 days and it hurts when I breathe now feels like some dust is in my lungs which there isn't any so I think it's strep throat. Btw if you start getting throat problems try putting some salt in warm water and gurgle it 1 drink at a time but it might relieve pain for 20 min. Then do it again.
Comment from: 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: March 13
Saturday I began to feel sore throat pain. By Sunday it was the worst ever! I went to a clinic and they did a rapid strep test. Positive. They even showed me what my throat looked like. White spots and it hurt so much to swallow. When I was a child my tonsils were removed. This pain was so intense it felt as if my tonsils were still there! I was prescribed Augmentin 875mg 2x per day. I have had a few doses and still have throat pain. Can't wait for this to pass!

Famous Kansas Citians: Actor Paul Rudd
By Diana Lambdin Meyer
When comedic actor and Kansas City native Paul Rudd returns to town, the first thing he does is settle in at his parents' Leawood home for a cup of tea and a bagel. That tradition is a nod to his parents British and Jewish heritage, but don't think for a second that his Midwestern roots aren't ever present in the roles he plays.
"I love coming back to Kansas City and hearing people say things like 'have a nice day' at the grocery store," he said. "I live in New York and spend a lot of time in LA, but people in the Midwest keep me grounded. I've been told I'm a pretty polite guy and that's because of Kansas City."
A graduate of Shawnee Mission West High school who attended the University of Kansas, Rudd is often first recognized for his role as Michael Hannigan who married Phoebe Buffay in the last two seasons of "Friends." In addition to Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Anniston, Rudd has worked with Julia Roberts, Kathryn Heigl, Ashley Judd and Reese Witherspoon. That these women are considered some of the hottest women in Hollywood is not lost on the boy from Johnson County Kansas.
"I can't believe that I can find work, and then to work with these women, wow!" he said.
Rudd delights in introducing his hometown to the rest of the world through his work. In the 1995 movie "Clueless" he wears a KU hat in several scenes. To other movie sets he brings posters of his favorite bands that play in Lawrence and Kansas City nightclubs.
A huge fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, Rudd returns home often, particularly during football season. Among his proudest professional accomplishments was narrating the 2007 HBO Sports documentary "Hard Knocks" when the show focused on the Chiefs' training camp.
He also lends his voice as Derek in the 2009 Dreamworks animated feature "Monsters & Aliens," a project that he believes let his personality shine. "I'm really a big doofus and doing a voice over really allows you to be bigger and goofier than most screen work."
Rudd enjoys returning to Kansas City events such as the annual Irish Fest over Labor Day weekend and the Kansas City Improv Festival, as well as the Art of Improv Comedy Fest in Lawrence.
"I love flying into KCI and seeing the farm fields, and those terminals," he said. "It's the greatest airport to get around in and that's one way I know I'm home."

Flickr photo by Spencer E HoltawayWe've heard it before, mostly from that one -- count him, one -- holdout friend of ours who's not on Facebook and is actually proud of it:
I'm not on Facebook because I have real friends.
Facebook causes stress -- you're online all the time!
Facebook is for shut-ins, people who are so lonely they'll talk to anyone.
He's wrong, of course. And a lot worse off than the rest of us. People who use Facebook -- or any social-networking site, for that matter -- are actually happier, healthier, and a lot less stressed than those who don't.
Not that we can give Facebook total credit for making us happy in the first place, Moira Burke, a university researcher with an academic degree in Facebook, explains. Okay, so she's a PhD candidate at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, but same thing.
But there's no doubt that checking our profile, sharing a link, or commenting on a friend's Wall makes us feel good. As Facebook teaches us, support is a good thing, so I asked Burke to share some of the exciting findings from her own work and from other researchers in the field.
Here are 5 Reasons Facebook Is Good for Your Health:
1. You Are Less Lonely
Sounds obvious, right? When you're connected to someone, you can't be lonely. Duh statement of the year. The key here is "connected." You have to participate. In Burke's recent work, the people who were truly less lonely and felt stronger connections were those who engaged and shared in the Facebook experience as opposed to just trolling around and reading other people's stuff.
2. You Are More Open-Minded
To the argument about Facebook leading to fewer real-life friends, Burke says: "Most research finds that online and offline social communication increase together, rather than online communication displacing offline. People who are heavy Internet users have more diverse social networks, including people from different ethnic backgrounds and different political perspectives. They are just as likely to visit their neighbors in person as are less frequent Internet users."
3. Relationships Are Easier
As we know just from being Mommy, "easy" makes life better. So much better. We live for the day we can eliminate any extra step -- throwing away the diapers for good, handing over the toothbrush, giving them the keys to the car so they can drive themselves to practice (well, maybe not so much that one). But you get the point -- keeping up relationships are hard. Even finding time to meet friends at the coffee shop these days can turn into a logistical nightmare. Facebook makes it easy to maintain relationships through "likes," photo sharing, and status updates. It's so much simpler to post an announcement on your News Feed ("I've finally left my job") than to pick up the phone or individually email everyone you know. Easy.
4. You Get Sick Less
As of yet, no studies have examined a direct connection between online social networking and physical health, but Burke notes there are decades of research demonstrating links between social support and health. There has been plenty of research showing people with more diverse ties get fewer colds and recover faster, so you draw the line. Even having someone drive you to the doctor, or nudge you to go, is associated with lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, Burke says.
Which leads us to the next reason ...
5. You Are Less Stressed
Researchers at Cornell University led by Catalina L. Toma found that simply looking at your Facebook profile helps to mollify stress through "self-affirmation." That's a fancy way of saying that you're more aware of your own goals, values, and the characteristics important to you. People who spent time on their own profiles were more less defensive and more accepting of feedback. So, when you're under stress, you're better able to manage it. This makes you feel better in general.
Are you a happy Facebook user?
Yes I'm very happy using facebook because on there you can say whatever you want and not worry about people judging you for speaking your mind. I have over 400 friends and most of these friends I don't know but even thought I don't know them they are still my friends because they have been there for me when I need to talk.
"I have over 400 friends and most of these friends I don't know..."
Full. Stop.
I like Facebook because I think I know more of what my grandbabys are doing. we also use the web cam I get to see my grandkids in real time which is neat so I think the computer and facebook lets us be closer than any of time
my initial reason for being on Facebook was because one of my favorite websites, American Family Assoc., had opened a page there. i later found out that my oldest daughter had a Facebook account, then my youngest daughter opened an account there. several of my older grandchildren also have their own Facebook accounts. after i had been using it for a while i discovered that the church where we have our membership had a page there, also the church both of my daughters attend; a lot of the people i know from both churches have Facebook accounts. since then i've found pages for several websites that i frequent, and accounts from my in laws, both from hubby's family, and from my daughters' hubby's families.
I grew up with a large extended family of cousins... we were close as kids, but got busy with our own lives, especially once the grandparents got too elderly to host holiday gatherings and things like that. That really changed once Facebook came along... I see my extended family a LOT more, I know more of what is going on in their lives, and far from taking away from actual person-to-person contact, it has actually spurred us to get together a lot more. This year I'm attending a 'ten year grad' anniversary with a bunch of friends from university- solely organized on Facebook. Any way to keep in touch is great- it's definitely been a good thing for me!
I like facebook because i have a chance to share the things on my mind to my friends who have known on
facebook has given me manythings i can't have in a personal communication. i can meet and know people more easily and they just did inspire me to think wisely and see things from different views. It's quite helpful to improve my understanding on others.

my country, right or wrong
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Originally Stephen Decatur, in an after-dinner toast of 1816–1820:
- "Our Country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but right or wrong, our country!"
Later stated by, and often attributed to, Carl Schurz, 1872.[1]
- "My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right."
- an expression of patriotism.
Usage notes[edit]
Frequently used either as an expression of jingoism (extreme patriotism), in the sense "I will stand by my country whether it be right or wrong", or as a straw man to attack such patriotism as unthinking.
- ^ Schurz, Carl, remarks in the Senate, February 29, 1872, The Congressional Globe, vol. 45, p. 1287, cited in Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations., # 1641

VANCOUVER -- Centre Sidney Crosby practiced with Pittsburgh Penguins in Vancouver today but doesn't know when he will be able to return to the NHL.
Crosby hasn't played in the league since suffering a concussion on January 5.
He still hasn't been cleared for contact in practice but says it feels good to be back skating with his teammates.
The Penguins open the NHL season tomorrow night against the Vancouver Canucks.
Crosby said he has some good memories of Rogers Arena.
It's the building he scored the winning goal in overtime in Canada's gold medal victory over the U.S. at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
you know, I've been thinking about downranking. Since it's a PvP-centric change, wouldn't it make more sense to have lower-rank spells more resistable by players so we don't gimp the PvE aspects as well? Introduce some mechanic that makes it so Rank 1 Arcane Explosion has like a 95% resist chance by a level 80 rogue so it can't be used to break stealth, just for an example. That way a priest who wants to save mana can still spam GH 1 while low on mana if he perfectly well pleases.

University Hospital now performs laparoscopic kidney removal
University Hospital is now using a new less invasive approach–hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy–to remove a kidney from a living donor for transplantation. The new laparoscopic procedure enables surgeons to remove a kidney through a small incision, resulting in less pain and a faster, fuller recovery for donors. University is one of only a handful of hospitals in the state–and the only one in Central New York–to offer this procedure.
The technique, transplant officials say, has the potential to increase the number of people interested in becoming a kidney donor. "As this procedure becomes more and more available, we could see greater access to transplantation and a life free from dialysis for people in need of a new kidney," said Dilip Kittur, M.D., a transplant surgeon and director of transplant services at University Hospital.
Laparoscopic nephrectomy is performed using a laparoscope and video technology. This instrument allows for three incisions, each approximately 1/2 inch in length. The tiny laparoscopic instruments are used to cut the kidney away from surrounding tissue. A final incision of approximately three inches is made near the navel through which the kidney is extracted. The procedure lasts about two and a half hours. A hospital stay of two to three days is usually necessary before the patient is discharged. Donors can return to work or resume their normal activity within two to four weeks, according to doctors.
"This procedure is extremely patient-friendly," said Kittur. "It's less invasive, causes less pain and does not require a lengthy hospital stay. And it is just as safe as traditional nephrectomy."
Conventional kidney removal–open nephrectomy–requires a 12 to 14-inch incision and removal of part of the rib to extract the kidney. "This procedure usually results in a prolonged hospital stay, a significant amount of postoperative pain and a recovery that can last up to eight weeks," Kittur said.
The use of laparoscopic nephrectomy has been shown to increase in the number of donors. Studies from different transplant centers where laparoscopic nephrectomies are performed show a dramatic increase in kidney transplants from living donors. At the University of Maryland Medical Center 40 percent of the kidney transplants today come from living donors, compared to 25 percent four years ago, before the center began performing laparoscopic nephrectomies.
"The decision to donate a kidney is a very personal one and many factors go into reaching that decision, but the fact that we now offer a much less invasive procedure for kidney removal, may sway some individuals in becoming donors," Kittur said. "We've seen this to be the case in other areas of the country."
For more information on becoming a donor, contact University Hospital Transplant Program at 315-464-5413.

From 1988 until 2009, Inside Flyer founder Randy Petersen organized reader polls for awards ranging from best frequent flyer award redemption to best overall customer service. Past winners of the Freddie Award for best airline credit card in the Americas include:
- Starwood Preferred Guest American Express (2006-2008)
- Diners Club - Club Rewards (1997-2005)
- American Express Membership Rewards/Membership Miles (1992-1996)
- American AAdvantage & Marriott Honored Guest Rewards (1989-1991)
- Diners Club - Club Rewards & Ramada Business Card (1988)
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan won the final Freddie Award in 2009, shortly before Petersen announced his intention to retire the influential awards program. Though Petersen refused offers to sell the Freddie Awards, a group of writers and business professionals founded the Frequent Traveler Educational Foundation to carry on the awards' tradition.
About the Frequent Traveler Awards
Like the Freddies, the Frequent Traveler Awards weight hundreds of thousands of traveler votes to account for program size and influence. The FTEF held their 2011 award ceremony on April 28 at Citi Field in New York City, revealing their polls' top rated programs to an audience of press and travel industry professionals.

How Safe Is Your Kid's School Bus?
A school bus crash yesterday in Ohio claimed the life of a kindergartner. Six-year-old Kasey King, of Frazeysburg, was killed in Wednesday morning's crash near Dresden, Ohio.
"I do not allow my two children to ride on a school bus -- even for field trips -- because they are so unsafe," says Dr. Alan Ross, president of the National Coalition for School Bus Safety. "We require kids to buckle up in our cars, but most school buses do not even have safety belts! The laws of physics aren't suspended because we put the kids in a large bus and paint it yellow. There's a glaring deficiency here."
According to a report by the American Academy of Pediatrics, there were over 17,000 injuries on school buses in 2006 alone. A recent research report found that only six states -- California, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York and Texas -- require large school buses (those weighing more than 10,000 pounds) to have seat belts. However, the Louisiana and Texas laws have yet to take effect, and New York's law does not require student passengers to wear the belts.
Installing seat belts would only cost about five cents per student per day. Isn't your kid's safety worth a nickel a day?
To write to your legislators about making school buses safer, click here.
Our hearts go out to Kasey's family in this tragic time.
Do you think ALL school buses should have selt belts?
Former school bus driver here.. I wondered the same thing myself. Then I learned why the padded seats are so high, to prevent kids from flying around if the bus does have to stop fast. The reason there are no seat belts on school buses is because it is far more dangerous to have them. Think about it, 60 kids on a bus ALL seat belted in. If there were an accident, fire, etc.. they would ALL have exit the bus quickly as possible. In a panic situation, some kids may not be able to unbuckle fast enough, or at all! So its my opinion that seat belts would put our kids at a higher risk of injury. School buses are actually the safest vehicle your child can ride in, safest in snow & ice (I never slid around). Its large so even in an accident, most children come out unscathed. Far more kids are injured in car accidents, the reason school buses seem dangerous is because of the few cases we hear and are broadcasted all over making parents paranoid. School bus accidents statistically are VERY rare!
NOT Making light of this poor little girls death and her families suffering, prayers go out to them
Busses are different than cars. It's safer for them to not have seatbelts and school busses are far safer than a passenger car.
This was the first fatality in an Ohio School bus in over 40 years. It is quite tragic; this is our school district, we are hurting right now. I'm not sure if jumping on the seatbelt debate immediately is the right thing to do. The number one thing we need to be doing is giving thanks for the children in our own lives. And just to clarify, this was a little boy whose life was lost.
Oops, little boy ♥
According to my investigation, billions of persons all over the world receive the personal loans from different banks. So, there is a good chance to get a small business loan in all countries.
Your issue is cool, however this will take very long time to create such of buy an essay for not professional people. Thence the english writing service will suggest to buy term papers under such circumstances.
That item is truly profitable! One time, term paper writing company assist me with writing dissertation, which I was incompetent to polish off due to private causes. I advise you dissertation writing that will help you in your university life. Cheer!
@Markus I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out?
I like this topic it's extremely good to post our valuable comments on to it.
Nice blogs that has the positive effect on to the life of the common man life Custom Papers
At present, lots of people are pretty sure that the custom essay writing service can be the great place to purchase research essay at. Furthermore, that's really perfect way to improve the writing skills!
Simply needed to point out I really admire your work on this blog and the high quality blogposts you make. These type of post are generally what keeps me going through the day time. I uncovered this post after a great companion of my own advised it to me. I do some blogging and site-building myself and I am always pleased to check out others adding high quality info towards the community. I am going to definitely be following and also have saved your website to my twitter account for others to see.
This is the way to scare people. Otherwise every time it does not happens.
like that is very rare as soon as I don't know what I'd do without your impression.
Seeing several of your blogposts I truly found this specific one to generally be wonderful. I've got a weblog also and would choose to repost a few snips of your respective content in my blog. Would it be all right if I do this so long as I personal reference your web blog or generate a inbound link towards the posting I procured the snip from? If not I understand and would not do it without having your acceptance . I have book marked this valuable article to twitter in addition to myspace account intended for reference. Anyway many thanks either way!
That is probably a neat solution to and now the shoe is on the other foot.

Four Quartets
T. S. Eliot
Four Quartets is the culminating achievement of T.S. Eliot's career as a poet. While containing some of the most musical and unforgettable passages in twentieth-century poetry, its four parts, 'Burnt Norton', 'East Coker', 'The Dry Salvages' and 'Little Gidding', present a rigorous meditation on the spiritual, philosophical and personal themes which preoccupied the author. It was the way in which a private voice was heard to speak for the concerns of an entire generation, in the midst of war and doubt, that confirmed it as an enduring masterpiece.

A prostate biopsy is a procedure in which tissue samples are removed with a special needle to determine if cancer or other abnormal cells are present.
A sonogram uses ultrasound technology to allow quick visualization of the prostate and related structures from outside the body. It may be used to examine the prostate gland for evidence of cancer.
Your prostate can be removed several ways. One way is for the surgeon to make several smaller cuts and removing the prostate using a tiny camera and surgical tools. This is called a laparoscopic prostatectomy. When a surgeon uses a robot during the procedure, it's known as a robotic prostatectomy.
A transurethral resection of the prostate is a surgical procedure that uses a tiny instrument to remove portions of the prostate gland through the penis, requiring no external incision.

text: MSU PROFESSIONAL COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES March 20, 2002 Members Present: Jim Mitchell, Clyde Carroll, Becky Ward, Carina Beck, Leslie Schmidt, Jim Manning. Members Absent: None. Others Present: Susan Alt and Jane Herbes, Personnel and Payroll Services. The meeting was called to order at 2:00 PM by Chair Jim Mitchell. The minutes of the February 13, 2002, meeting were approved as distributed. Chair's report - Jim Mitchell. - UPBAC is currently receiving budget amendments. The $10 million in amendments will be prioritized. - Preliminary reports indicate new student enrollment will increase next fall - Two terms on Professional Council are ending, and elections will be held to fill the positions. Jim Manning (representing Academic Affairs) and Carina Beck (representing Student Affairs) are both eligible for re-election to three-year terms. Constituents in Academic Affairs and Student Affairs will be given an opportunity to nominate contract professionals for the positions. MAP - Discussion with Susan Alt and Jane Herbes. - MAP grew out of dissatisfaction with the then-current state-wide classification system, which looked at a position only, not at an individual's performance within that position. A Montana University System-wide committee explored possibilities, and MAP is the outcome of those discussions. - The part of MAP addressing development of performance plans is well underway. What is still unknown is the mechanism for setting and managing pay levels (how to change the responsibility of an individual in a position and where the money for added responsibilities will come from). However, it has been determined that this progressive pay must be preplanned. - Under the new classification system, there is an MUS labor management committee. MSU and UM labor management committee's operate under the system committee. - Candy Holt has been hired through a $125,000 grant to work as the system-wide MAP co-ordinator through March, 2003. - When any MAP pay rules are changed, they will be subject to collective bargaining, also. - Pay can't be influenced a lot, but "quality of work" issues can be improved with MAP. Performance and career advancement are provided. - The next part of the plan is to determined the amount of money assigned to each pay band. It is hoped to have this and other pieces of the plan in place by July. - Accountability for hiring and managing positions will move to university departments. Payroll will monitor for EEO issues. A balance will have to be maintained between flexibility in pay levels by departments and equitable pay for similar work across campus. There is recognition that the ability campus-wide to pay for equity is an issue. - Already, the new recruitment process has allowed departments to fill positions more quickly. - This new classification system requires training of supervisors. A training and development specialist is needed in Personnel to provide it. - The Professional Council offered to be a "sounding board" for MAP on the MSU campus as further parts of MAP are developed. Contract professional budget amendment. - The Provost has requested that for the coming fiscal year, faculty and contract professionals prepare separate budget amendments. If an MSU vice president is needed to introduce the amendment from Professional Council, the VP for Administration and Finance will introduce it. - The Chair distributed a budget amendment for professionals. The 1% requested (which helps make up for the 3% approved by the legislature two years ago but not given at MSU) can be used for equity, only. The $72,000 request includes administrators. - This budget amendment raises another issue. Since the budget amendment applies to state general funds, only, departments that don't receive general funds must take the money out of existing funding. - The Council voted to send the budget amendment forward, as presented, requesting that an additional 1% be added to the salary pool for professionals. Vehicle Use Agreement. - All university employees are being required to provide Personnel and Payroll Services a list of traffic violations since October, 2001. The purpose is to enforce state statutes regarding employees operating a motor vehicle on state business. - It would appear the same objective can be reached without invading the privacy of every employee on campus. Might a disclosure, such as one used by car rental companies, provide the coverage the state needs without invading every individual's privacy? - Employees may, if they have reason, send the reason for refusing to sign the form to Personnel with the form. These refusals will be considered on a case by case basis. - Jim Manning moved a memo be sent to the administration stating there is a less-intrusive way to deal with the issue and Professional Council objects to the procedure of requiring every university employee to disclose his/her driving record. The motion was seconded and carried. The memo will be sent to Susan Alt and copied to President Gamble, Jeff Shada, and Leslie Taylor. - Jim Manning moved that professionals be made aware through e-mail that employees may refuse to sign the form by attaching a reason for the refusal. These will be considered on a case by case basis. The motion was seconded and carried. As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 3:15 PM. ATTACHMENT: Results of the Ombudsman Survey Returned by Professionals RESULTS OF OMBUDSMAN SURVEY - CONTRACT PROFESSIONALS March, 2002 sent to 226 contract professionals returned: 36 1. If an Ombudsman Office had been available when you started at MSU, how often do you think you might have used it? A. Once every year 5 Comments: I've only been here less than a year. Since 2000 B. Once every five years 11 C. Once every ten years 6 D. Never 13 2. Are there unresolved issues that you, personally, might bring to an ombudsman? A. Yes 7 B. No 28 Issues: Inequitable pay compared to individuals on campus with similar positions and responsibilities. Job Performance Evaluation - in the past year and a half, things I've used and needed to do my job have been taken away. Hiring practices. It would be nice to have someone like this to discuss how I might go about bringing up issues with my boss about things such as the fact that I was hired on a professional appointment with a professional job description and he treats me as nothing more than his secretary - not allowing me any power to make decisions and that he has professionally cut me off at the knees in front of my peers. Salary restrictions dependent on the MSU budget rather than program monies. 3. Do you think creating an MSU Ombdsman is a good idea? A. Yes 24 B. No 6 Comments: Possibly, with a number of reservations: Can any one "lay" person really understand the scope/breadth of the issues they would be expected to handle? Can a faculty member adequately respond to the issues of interest to a professional or vice versa? Physical location presents a very real problem... Where would such a person be housed? Who wants to be seen walking in the ombudsmans office? Security is paramount: How will files be kept? Computer files, even the trash, would need to be secure, confidential, and physically disconnected from the University's system. Who would be responsible for the training... what kind of training, approved/constructed by whom? An on or off-campus person? And finally, where else has an idea like this been tried and what were the results? Maybe - I'm not if the person can be trusted. I don't care for the title of this position. [Yes], providing funding is available and there is a need university wide. Maybe, though it seems like a lot of power to vest in one person. I was thinking as I read your note, "what would happen if this person wasn't very good?" A mediocre person in the job would have very little oversight, very little impact. A really bad person would eventually be confronted, but a mediocre person would probably last 30 years. Maybe. 4. Personal information: How many contract professionals are in your department or administrative unit? 1- 5: 19 6-10: 8 11-20: 1 21-30: 0 31-40: 0 41+: 0 Not sure. Perhaps 2-3. My impression is that over the past 10 years the tendency has been to put new hires in under the classified system. How many years have you been at MSU? Less than 1: 2 1- 2: 1 3- 5: 5 6-10: 9 11-15: 5 (but in two cases only 6 years as a professional) 16-20: 4 21-25: 2 26-30: 1 31-35: 0 36-40: 1 40+: 0

A slightly crazy entry in Benriach's 10th release of single casks. A triple distilled malt, unlike their regular double distilled spirit, matured for 15 years and finished in a Pedro Ximenez Sherry Puncheon (Cask #7633). Light spirit + active sherry cask = hugely dark spirit and lots of character from the wood.

1O species likely to suffer at the hands of ocean acidification
The original article is a bit scare mongery and has some incorrect facts, so here's my adaptation.
We all know carbon has contributed to climate change and global warming, but also another underexposed problem: ocean acidification.
Tiny changes in the chemical composition of the ocean can have huge consequences for marine life, especially those who make their homes out of calcium carbonate [poor molluscs and coral] which is less available in acidified waters.
1. Blue sea slug [Glaucus atlanticus] - feeds on the highly venomous Portuguese-man-of-war. Not the best food chain to unbalance…ouch!
2. Pterapods - the basis of the Antarctic food chain. If they start dissolving whales and polar bears have another problem to deal with.
3. Brittle stars - vulnerable to ocean acidification in both adult and larval forms.
4. Squid - acidic water has been found to interfere with squids' blood making it harder for them to absorb oxygen.
5. Shrimp - represent an important part of food webs and ecological balance in all oceans.
6. Oysters - global populations have apparently suffered a sudden crash.
7. Sea Urchins - often overlooked for "sexier" species, even the ugly urchins have a critical role in maintaining reef ecosystems by eating algae, providing a healthy balanced reef.
8. Abalone - may not last the next 1OO years at the current rate of ocean acidification.
9. Coral - an obvious victim. The knock-on effects of more brittle or lack of coral structures are too vast and too scary to think of.
1O. Clownfish - been found to have a higher instance of deafness and increases in brash behaviour in acidified waters leading to poor defence against its numerous predators.

The species Pteropus melanotus is listed as 'Vulnerable' on the IUCN Redlist, with the caveat that: "if the Christmas Island population was found to be distinct, it would classify as Critically Endangered' (Hutson et al. 2008).
Scientific name: Pteropus melanotus natalis
Common name: Christmas Island Flying-fox
The Christmas Island Flying-fox (CIFF) is generally accepted as a subspecies of the Black-eared Flying-fox (Pteropus melanotus) (TSSC 2014d). The Black-eared Flying-fox occurs in India (Andaman Islands and Nicobar Islands) and Indonesia (Sumatra) and is absent from the mainland of Australia (Hutson et al. 2008). Some authors (i.e. James et al. 2007) treat the CIFF as a distinct species (Pteropus natalis), rather than a subspecies.
The CIFF is small, compared to most Australian Pteropus species, weighing between 250-500 g (mean 350 g) when fully grown (Churchill 1998; TSSC 2014d). The subspecies is described as having uniformly long, black fur, giving a 'chubby' appearance. A faint reddish collar of fur exists on some individuals (Tidemann & Richards 2008).
The CIFF is endemic to Christmas Island, a 135 km2 landmass located in the Indian Ocean, 2000 km to the north-west of the Australian continent and 360 km south of Java (TSSC 2014d). The CIFF is a mobile subspecies and its distribution extends across the entirety of the island (TSSC 2014d).
The CIFF is mobile and occurs as a single, interbreeding population. In 2012, reports on the total abundance of this population ranged between 800-1340 individuals (James pers. comm. 2012 and Woinarski pers. comm. 2012 cited in TSSC 2014d). The population trend in the preceding years to that point was negative (a decline) (TSSC 2014d).
Similarly to other Pteropus species, the CIFF congregates in camps for the purposes of roosting, mating and birthing and weaning pups (TSSC 2014d). Most camps are located near the coast and it has been noted that birthing and weaning occurs in a limited number of camps (three camps with breeding activity as of 2012) (TSSC 2014d).
Christmas Island has a tropical equatorial climate, with distinct wet and dry seasons and year-round high level of humidity (TSSC 2014d). The native vegetation community present on the island is largely mesophyll rainforest, although cleared areas, rehabilitated mine sites and exotic gardens also occur. Foraging habitat of the CIFF includes native rainforest, planted gardens and rehabilitated mine sites containing trees and shrubs (TSSC 2014d). Foraging microhabitat varies throughout the year, due to seasonality of flowering and fruiting of targeted plant species (TSSC 2014d).
The CIFF is similar to other Pteropus species, exhibiting a 'slow' life history, characterised by low reproductive output and long lifespan (TSSC 2014d). Mating is polygamous or promiscuous and occurs approximately between July to September. (TSSC 2014d). Following mating, the gestation period is approximately five months (Tidemann 1985).
Females give birth to a maximum of one pup per year, with births occurring in a defined annual season (generally between December and February) (TSSC 2014d). Tidemann (1985) found that female CIFFs could fall pregnant when they were just 6 months of age. It has been noted for other Pteropus species that successful rearing of young generally does not occur unless the mother is three years of age or older (Martin & McIlwee 2002). There may be a similar mechanism operating for the CIFF, which may be reflected in the age categories used by Hall and colleagues (2011), who classified any individual older than 3 years as an 'adult'.
The CIFF is considered to have a generation length in the wild of approximately nine years (TSSC 2014d).
Ecosystem services
Flying-foxes are widely regarded as important pollinators and seed dispersers and the CIFF is likely to play a similar role (TSSC 2014d). This may be even more pronounced on islands, where there are few other species that perform a similar ecological role; on Christmas Island, the only other vertebrate frugivore is the Christmas Island Imperial Pigeon (Ducula whartoni) (TSSC 2014d). For this reason, the CIFF is considered a 'keystone (sub)species' of the Christmas Island terrestrial ecosystem (DEWHA 2010a).
The CIFF feeds on a variety of plant species and plant parts, including fruits, nectar, pollen, flowers and leaves (TSSC 2014d). Dietary patterns are known to change between different times of the year, due to the timing of flowering and fruiting of different plant species. Fruit availability is considered to be greatest during the wet season (December to March) (TSSC 2014d).
James and colleagues (2007) tallied a total of 35 food plants consumed, including 18 species introduced to Christmas Island. Some important species are tabulated below (James et al. 2007):
|Scientific Name
|Common Name
|Plant Part Consumed
|Annona muricate
|Annona reticulata
|Custard Apple
|Barringtonia racemosa
|Powder-puff Tree
|Celtis timorensis
|Dysoxylum gaudichaudianum
|Ivory Mahogany
|Ficus macrocarpa
|Inocarpus fagifer
|Tahitian Chestnut
|Macaranga tanarius
|Nasturtium Tree
|Maclura cochinchinensis
|Cockspur Thorn
|Planchonella nitida
|Fruit and Flowers

|Fruit and Flowers
|Tristiropsis acutangula
|Fern Leaved Tamarind
|Fruit and Flowers
|Muntingia calabura
|Jamaican Cherry
|Cocos nucifera
|Coconut Palm
|Mangifera spp.
The normal fly-out distance between an individual's camp and foraging habitat has not been quantified; however, it has been noted that individuals are likely to move across the entirety of the island via daily, seasonal or annual movements (TSSC 2014d). The subspecies travels between camps and forages during the day as well as at night.
Phosphate mining and extractive industry
Approximately 25% of forest cover has been lost since the 1890's due to mining (TSSC 2014d). Rehabilitated mining land is known to be of a lower quality than undisturbed vegetation (TSSC 2014d). In addition to the removal of foraging and roosting habitat, phosphate mining is known to cause potentially lethal pollution (i.e. cadmium), which can be lethal to flying-foxes if ingested in sufficient quantities. At least one camp is known to have been abandoned due to the impacts of phosphate dust pollution (James et al. 2007).
Introduced Cats (Felis catus) occur on Christmas Island and are thought to number around 1000 individuals (TSSC 2014d). The CIFF has been found in the gut contents of Cats and predation pressure from Cats is potentially a very significant source of mortality for the CIFF (Tidemann et al. 1994; TSSC 2014d).
Yellow Crazy Ant
The introduced and invasive Yellow Crazy Ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) has significant and wide-ranging impacts on the rainforest ecosystem present on Christmas Island (TSSC 2014d). The CIFF may be directly impacted by this species or indirectly impacted, due to declining tree health.
Removal of preferred food sources
The diet of the CIFF is known to be made up of approximately 50% introduced species (James et al. 2007). The overall effect of this shift in diet is not known, however, similar shifts for other species of flying-fox have resulted in nutritional decline (Nelson et al. 2000).
Natural events
Cyclones and other intense natural events are known to potentially have catastrophic effects on populations of island species and such impacts have been documented for other flying-fox species (Pierson et al. 1996; McConkey et al. 2004; Shilton et al. 2008; TSSC 2014d).
Transmission of novel diseases to the CIFF population is also identified as a threat in the subspecies' Conservation Advice (TSSC 2014d).
A Christmas Island recovery plan is being developed by the Australian Government and is expected to include recovery actions relevant to the CIFF. The Conservation Advice for the CIFF also includes research and priority actions to assist in stopping the decline of the subspecies and promote recovery (TSSC 2014d). Some of these actions include:
- Continue to ground bait and aerial bait Yellow Crazy Ant colonies to prevent the formation of super colonies;
- Control and reduce the impact, in order of priority, of feral Cats, feral Rats (Rattus rattus) and wolf-snakes (Lycodon capucinus);
- Monitor known populations and identify key threats;
- Monitor the progress of recovery, including the effectiveness of management actions and the need to adapt them if necessary;
- Rehabilitate former mining areas;
- Investigate the potential threat and risks of chemicals and toxins, particularly cadmium;
- Investigate pathogens potentially threatening the subspecies, including Cat-transmitted pathogens.
Documents relevant to the management of the CIFF can be found in the Conservation Advice and at the start of the profile.

The War of the Worlds (1953)
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
2 Readers' Reviews
October 31st, 200811:27 pm
You got to pay your respects to this film in that it's the first of it's kind and it's pretty good, but the reality factor makes you chuckle a bit. You are not laughing at this film mind you, but in spite of it. The filmakers kept the story going forward and the effects for it's day were very innovative. But I love all of the melodrama, over acting and the random implausibility. The technicolor is great and it echos in the era to what will eventually be films like "The Blob".

If there was ever a film that has and will stand up to critisism, "The War Of The Worlds" certainly one of them. The respect given to H.G. Wells literary genius comes thru in every aspect of its translation to the screen. George Pal and Gene Barry were clearly defined and immortalized by this film. After all of this time it is still a current masterpiece. Timeless.....

The meniscus is a C-shaped disc that cushions your knees on both sides to absorb the shock in your joint and to hold your knee in place. Through sharp pivoting and turns, you can tear the meniscus -- and in extreme circumstances your ACL, the ligament in the center of your knee that limits rotation and forward motion. "If you find yourself feeling suddenly stiff, or have an occasional sharp pain inside the knee with swelling, as well as your knee locking or buckling, these could all be signs of a meniscus tear," says Dr. Popovitz.
Fix It Fast: Dr. Popovitz says that not all tears have to be repaired with surgery. But because it's such a minimally invasive procedure, many runners choose to get it done so they don't have to constantly worry about their limbs. Depending on where the tear is and how serious it is, smaller ones can be treated with resting the knee, frequent icing, and physical therapy.

Revolutionary Road
Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio) and April Wheeler (Kate Winslet) always see themselves as far-removed from the conventionality of suburbia. Yet that is exactly what creeps up on them when they buy a house in Connecticut. He toils 10 hours a day in a job he hates, while she, as a 1950s homemaker, yearns for fulfillment and passion. Rebelling against the torpor of their lives, the couple plan an escape that may push them to their limits.

Created by Zvents
Almost 40 years before "American Beauty" and 50 years before "Mad Men," novelist Richard Yates broke open the empty promise of suburbia in "Revolutionary Road."
The film version is bound to be compared with those dramas, because the new movie is from the director of the former, and the novel was an influence on the latter. But director Sam Mendes has eclipsed those kindred creations with a snapshot of domestic disturbance that's timelessly powerful.(Full review)

Anything can be used to scale or reposition the camera... in the example, we use tweens, but you could just as easily use (say) an actionscript function that took input from the mouse position for panning and mouse drag (eg drag the mouse up-down) for zooming.
If enough people have a use for this and request it, I'll even write and post the code. Im guessing it would be useful to allow the user to make their own directors cut out of an animation, perhaps saving their camera positions into a shared object, or in making parts of an animation interactive.

I could make great use of an interactive camera too!!!
The way I'm making that right now is creating buttons which scale symbols and the symbols have a drag option to pan the camera, but the interactive camera would be a great solution!

This is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm currently working on an interactive animation that will require you to zoom in on different areas while other things are going on. Having the camera work here is great.. but I'd like to have the user be able to zoom in and out and move the camera around for a more interactive feel.

I could most definately use that interactive camera tool. Not sure if you ever actually made it and posted it, but if you did, I'd love to have the link...

Just saw this thread, am very interested to know if such a solution exist. Real time using camera for a yard. Very interested for any link/info

Pudding Lane
Pudding Lane is a street in the City of London and formerly the location of Thomas Farriner's bakery where the Great Fire of London began in 1666. The lane is located off Eastcheap, near London Bridge and the Monument.
According to the chronicler John Stow, it is named after the "puddings" (a medieval word for entrails and organs) which would fall from the carts coming down the lane from the butchers in Eastcheap as they headed for the waste barges on the River Thames.[1] A commemorative plaque on the wall of a building called Faryners House, on Pudding Lane, records the site of the start of the fire. The sign was presented by the Worshipful Company of Bakers in 1986. The original name of the lane was "Offal Pudding Lane".
The nearest London Underground station is Monument, a short distance to the west. The closest mainline railway stations are Fenchurch Street and Cannon Street.
- ^ Billinsgate warde, from A Survey of London, by John Stow. Reprinted from the text of 1603: "... commonly called Pudding Lane, because the Butchers of Eastcheape haue their skalding House for Hogges there, and their puddinges with other filth of Beastes, are voided downe that way to theyr dung boates on the Thames."
