A stroll along a sidewalk between a wheelchair bound grandmother and her grandson became a tragic event in Mobile last week. A 45-year-old man, driving a Chevrolet Tahoe reportedly lost control of his vehicle in Mobile, Alabama last Friday. The man reportedly had a medical condition. However, police say they do not know the nature of the condition. At the time the man lost control of the Tahoe, a 65-year-old woman in a wheelchair and her 11-year-old grandson were on the sidewalk.
Police received a report of an Alabama pedestrian accident just before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Police and emergency personnel responded to the scene. Upon arrival, emergency crews found that both pedestrians had been struck by the Tahoe.
The 65-year-old wheelchair-bound grandmother was pronounced dead at the scene of the tragic accident. The 11-year-old boy suffered serious, but not life threatening injuries. The boy was transported to the University of South Alabama Medical Center for treatment.
Due to the undisclosed medical condition that may have caused the driver to experience a brief blackout, the 45-year-old driver was taken to Springhill Medical Center for evaluation of his condition.
No charges have been filed against the 45-year-old driver of the Chevy Tahoe. Traffic homicide detectives from the Mobile Police Department continue to investigate the accident. Roughly 5000 Americans are killed in pedestrian accidents annually, with around 64,000 more sustaining personal injury, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

As we mentioned earlier, this breakdown of sound into component parts sometimes doesn't give you a good feel for the sonic character of the equipment under review. It gives us a list of evaluative factors we can consider, but the very process we use to perform a point-by-point analysis of the sound can create the impression that all sonic factors are equally important, which experience tells us just isn't so.
What sets the Blue Hawaii SE apart is the amp's well-balanced ability to capture both the inner details and the big-picture view of the music simultaneously—an area where the BHSE stands as a hallmark, breakthrough design (other amps can do one thing or the other, but not both at once). If you understand that the human nervous system is designed to be highly responsive to perceived threats, then you can see that some equipment that cleverly but consistently emphasizes certain musical details will draw your attention in a way that may impress you. But, we think there is a strong argument to be made that this process is essentially a process of distraction. A more musical method is to reveal the detail without drawing your attention to it. This allows you to focus where you or the artists desire, which is often a better approach. The Blue Hawaii SE seems to be set up to present the music in just this way.
This is important because we've argued that the Stax SR-009 headphones produce a subtle but meaningful qualitative shift in the presentation of music. Basically, they offer a more transparent, lower distortion, more micro-dynamically accurate lens on the music that changes the way everything sounds. That improved canvas, if you can accept the metaphor, can be treated in different ways. The Blue Hawaii SE, when it comes to transients and dynamic capability, mostly seems to just not get in the way. Beyond that, we can name a few quibbles with the sound, but on the big things the Blue Hawaii SE gets things right if you want to be able to listen to all parts of the music at will.
For purposes of this review, my comments are based on listening to the BHSE with the Stax SR-009, but Playback Editor Chris Martens has heard the BHSE with other electrostatic 'phones and reports that the amp exhibits similar strengths no matter which electrostatic 'phones you plug into it. It is, though, important to understand that electrostatic headphones in general, and the Stax SR-009 in particular, tend to be very revealing and to take on the sonic persona, as it were, a whatever amplifiers are used to drive them. For this reason, those considering purchasing a Blue Hawaii SE would do well to try the amp with the specific models of headphones they intend to use (a point that is especially true for those who plan on using Stax SR-009s). In a Platonic world, it would be nice to imagine that an amp could be ideal for every transducer, but in the real world a smarter and better approach is to treat headphones and amplifiers as a system, and to evaluate them accordingly.
We close by repeating our suggestion that prospective purchasers need to think about which aspects of the Stax headphones are causing them to pursue electrostatic listening in the first place. You might say "all of them" and that's fair. But we do think there are likely to be two major, valid camps, both seduced by the SR-009, yet desiring different things from their headphone amps.
One camp will value the SR-009 for its amazing clarity and ability to retrieve low-level details, and we predict members of that camp might gravitate toward the Woo WES precisely because it, too, maximizes these same sonic attributes.
The other camp also values the clarity and detail retrieval of the SR-009, but will likely view the SR-009s as huge overachievers in both areas. Thus, members of the second camp will look to step beyond the transparency and detail of the SR-009 with an amp that offers analog-like qualities of musical integrity and dynamism. In other word, they will seek out an amp that lets them enjoy both "the forest and the trees" musically speaking. The Blue Hawaii SE could be the ideal amp for those listeners.
On Kate Rusby's album 10 [Compass], the midrange of the song "I Wish" sounds natural and believable, and the instruments blend together well in the mix. We could, however, hear just a trace of tube noise on this track.
The song "Sweet Bride", also from 10, has good bass detail and excellent guitar delicacy and clarity without stridency.
Thank you for the informitive and thorough reviews of the Headamp BHSE and Woo WES. However, I am confused by the title of the review of the BHSE and some of the language in the text of both reviews. Possibly this is just a linguistic misunderstanding. For me, "musicality" along the chain of reproduction has a maximum at the performance, and then degrades as we travel down the chain due to inaccuracy of components (and their interactions) in the chain. The more accurate the chain, the more it will reveal the musicality of a musical performance or, e.g., the dreadful bombast of recorded dreadful bombast. So I guess the question is, as their differences are explicitly addressed, which do you believe is the more accurate with the Stax SR-009 Earspeakers: the BHSE or the Woo WES? Sound is a many-dimensional entity, and across-the-board characterizations like "more accurate" may be impossible. So a helpful answer might break "accuracy" into components. E.g., when the Woo WES maximizes "clarity and ability to retrieve low-level details", is it doing so accurately? Another approach might be to clarify that by "offers analog-like qualities of musical integrity and dynamism" that you actually do mean "accurate reproduction of musical events" but simply used different words to express it.

A phone that can resist water, look normal
The mere sight of the photo accompanying this item is enough to make our heart skip a beat or two, as we can only imagine what a good dousing would do to a standard cell phone. But fear not, this handset is actually supposed to be wet, at least for purposes of Fujitsu's marketing campaign, to show off its water-resistant casing.
The fact that we mistook it for a conventional phone bears some significance; most of the waterproof phones we've seen look a little more stout, shall we say, or something better suited for a construction site. The &… Read more

The married couple of Jin Akanishi and Kuroki Meisa made statements to their fans about their relationship.
"To my dear fans
May I take this opportunity to let you know
I have married Ms. Meisa Kuroki on Feb 2, 2012.
I am even more focused to create and deliver my best to
My fans, and sincerely hope I can have your kind blessing
For my new future."Jin Akanishi
"To everyone who has supported me
I'm sorry it's taken so long to report this to everyone.
I, Kuroki Meisa have married Akanishi Jin-san on February 2nd.
I am still immature,
But I want to work even harder than before.
And I hope to grow as a person.
Please continue to support me."Kuroki Meisa
Of course, none of the statements to date have yet addressed the rumor of Meisa's pregnancy, but Meisa herself is having events cancelled for mysterious reasons.
Kuroki Meisa (23) is beginning to feel the first effects of being married to Akanishi Jin.
It was announced on the 12th that the planned March 4th special buyer event for Meisa's album "UNLOCKED" has been suspended. Announced on her official homepage, reasons cited for the cancellation include being "due to physical condition, and considering various other circumstances". Although her pregnancy was not announced officially, her agency stating "due to her physical condition" has led many to believe Kuroki is entering maternity leave.
In addition, her appearance on TBS's music program 'Kamisun!' has also been canceled.
Yeah, the physical condition is being knocked up.
Moving on to Jin, Johnny Kitagawa is pissed at him.
Following the shocking marriage of Akanishi Jin (27) and Kuroki Meisa (23) , Johnny's Jimusho Johnny Kitagawa (80) has confirmed he is considering punishing Akanishi. "As the person in charge, I have to consider it. I have to do something", he said.
"I hadn't heard anything about it before, so I was shocked", said Kitagawa regarding the prompt marriage. "I wish he had contacted me beforehand."
Kitagawa discovered the news in a newspaper, and afterwards, got a call with the news from Akanishi. "From the start I've always been someone who doesn't contact people. I'm not concerned about private life…", Akanishi said in a gentle tone of voice. To Kitagawa, who values relationships of trust, it seems this came as a huge shock.
Leaving KAT-TUN was one thing, but this might matter more if Johnny is seriously pissed. With the amount of pull he has in the music industry, god knows how Jin's career goes if Johnny's Entertainment decides to cut ties.

Why Israel isn't bluffing on Iran
It is often hard for Americans to grasp the idea of an existential threat to a nation. While one existed for Americans during the Cold War, since then the notion that any single actor with any single act could effectively obliterate Americans or their lifestyle is very hard for many people to get their brains around. But that is exactly the threat that Israelis face from even a "limited" Iranian nuclear attack. And though it is reasonable to debate whether the Iranians would actually use such a weapon against Israel given the likely consequences for them, from the Israeli perspective, given Iranian threats and actions, the risks of guessing wrong about the intent of the leaders in Tehran are so high that inaction could easily be seen to be the imprudent path.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How should Fierce be used?Fierce is a workout formula, designed to give the user all the aspects of a product they need, with nothing they don't. Unlike many formulas, Fierce is a complete all-in-one product that can easily be used as a single product solution for users. Fierce can either be taken once or twice per day depending on the user.For one serving per day, consume one serving of Fierce before working out. If you work out in the evening, consume Fierce no later than 6 hours before sleeping.For two servings per day, consume one serving of Fierce in the morning, and one before working out. If you work out in the morning, then do one serving preworkout, and one in the early afternoon.
Q. How long will a tub of Fierce last me?This depends entirely on how many doses you take per day. For someone using one serving per day, a single tub of Fierce will last 50 days. For someone consuming 2 servings every day, a single tub will last 25 days. Many users will find that they only require one serving per day to achieve the effects that they want.
Q. Does Fierce replace any part of my nutrition, training, or cardio?In no way will Fierce, or any other supplement, replace any aspect of these three. Fierce provides the conditions to push yourself longer, harder, and stronger than you otherwise may, however it will not deliver a miracle. Only hard work in and out of the gym produces results, of which Fierce brings a new level.
Q. What should I avoid while consuming Fierce?
Avoid consuming large amounts of caffeine while using Fierce. Due to the stimulant nature of Fierce, the provided energy will be enough for most users of stimulants such as caffeine.
Q. Should Fierce be cycled?Due to the stimulant nature of Fierce, and NO production, it is a good idea to cycle Fierce. Caffeine over time will decrease in effects and will blunt the CNS response, and NO has a radical capability. It would also make sense to use antioxidant products, such as R-ALA/Na-R-ALA/K-R-ALA, and Green Tea Extract, both which are relatively inexpensive and known for their health benefits.
Q. Do I need anything else with Fierce?Fierce is designed to be a complete solution, so no. For those who extensively use NO products (Fierce does have a NO component), an antioxidant such as green tea would not be a bad idea, however is not vital. Fierce does not require any external creatine, NO, or stimulant products to be effective. There are other products that Fierce can be stacked with, such as V12 HP844 to enhance effects, however such stacks are optional.
Q. What does Fierce cost?
Most online retailers should have it between 34-38 dollars.
Q. What flavors are available?
We currently offer tangy orange and wild cherry.

In 1985, real estate developer Paul Roiff, in conjunction with Anthony Mansolillo, bought the Beach Club for $2.4 million . Following the purchase, he made $7 million worth of improvements, including the addition of the in-ground pool and the addition of the entire second floor of the pavilion around the pool and extending both east and west of the pool with three quadrangles.
Mansolillo also initiated a plan to change the contour of the beach. Previously, the contour of the property was perfectly flat from the area north of the pavilion, through the pavilion, and to the sea. The result of this flat contour was that the pit and the parking lot would often become over-topped with sand during storms.
In order to avoid this, the contour of the property was changed in
1986 so that the beach was made to slope downwards from the main deck
toward the sea.
In 1987, Mansolillo decided to transform the Beach Club into condos and the Bonnet Shores Beach Club Condominium Association was born.
Some time thereafter, Roiff and Mansolillo did business as Seaside
Realty. Eventually, Mansolillo faded from the
The Beach Club somehow managed to survive, albeit with damage, four
major hurricanes. In addition to the damage it
suffered from The Hurricane of 1938, the Beach Club sustained heavy
damage from the Hurricane of 1944, from Hurricane Carol in 1954, and
from Hurricane Bob in 1991, the last of which resulted in $1.7 million
in repairs.
In 1998, Seaside offered to sell the remaining development rights to the Condominium Association for $1.4 million. The issue of the development rights was indeed an important one. Mansolillo had obtained a building permit in 1987 which allowed him to continue to expand to a maximum of 1,069 units within 20 years.
Accordingly, if the condominium association wanted to stop expansion,
those development rights had to be obtained. However,
the $1.4 million offer was considered too high and was refused.
When the responsibility of the management of the Beach Club reverted from the developer to the condominium association, it was managed for several years by an off-site property management company.
In 2001, the condominium association became self-managed.
The operation of the Beach Club is overseen by an elected
Board of Directors, consisting of
seven owners. The day to day operation is directed by
five full-time managers who supervise a seasonal staff of 100.
In 2008, the BSBCCA bought out Roiff's remaining development rights for $400,000. The number of units is capped at 930; the development rights of the remaining 139 units were formally dissolved.
The units are divided in this manner: 2 deluxe live-ins, 4 live-ins, 285 cabanas, 26 double bathhouses, 206 mini-double bathhouses, and 407 bathhouses.
The membership has remained consistent for several years at about 4500. The south-facing beach is bordered to the east by Kelly Beach and to the west by Wesquage Beach, both of which are small, private beaches.
Kelly Beach is reserved for the residents of Bonnet Shores; Wesquage
Beach is reserved for the residents of the Bonnet Terrace Association
and of the Wesquage Association.
Today, membership in the Beach Club is dependent upon ownership of a unit. All sales are handled privately between seller and buyer. Ownership of a bathhouse or of a mini-double bathhouse entitles the owner to four memberships, of a double bathhouse to six memberships, of a cabana to eight memberships, and of a live-in or of a deluxe live-in to ten memberships.
The Beach Club season typically runs from the weekend prior to
Memorial Day to the last Sunday in September.
The food services were run as a concession for decades; in 2003, the condominium association assumed the operation of the food services. The Beach Club currently has a full-service restaurant as well as a snack bar and a grille. The snack bar is open seven days a week and the restaurant serves dinner Thursday through Sunday.
The pit is the location of not only the 75 foot 85,000 gallon pool,
but it is also the location of the sand bar and grill, where food and
beverages are served on a daily basis. Live musical
entertainment is offered under the pit's 60' x 60' tent every Saturday
night and every Sunday evening throughout the summer season.
The Beach Club prides itself on the family atmosphere that it
fosters. Swim lessons as well as tennis lessons are
offered. Each season sees two family movie nights
under the stars as well as a children's sand sculpture contest.
The Fourth of July fireworks display is a season highlight.
The Bonnet Shores Beach Club continues to be the envy of beach enthusiasts all over the state. The Beach Club's 28 acre property with 1700 feet of waterfront is truly a treasure by the sea.

The strength of an interaction is related to the rate, or probability, of the emission or absorption of its quantum. For example, a nucleus takes about 10^ -12 second (a millionth of a billionth of a second) to emit a photon. In comparison the beta decay of a neutron takes 12 minutes—about 10^ 14 times longer. It can be calculated that the time necessary for the emission of a graviton by a nucleus is 10^60 seconds, or 10^53 years! This is slower than the weak interaction by a factor of 10^58.
Now, neutrinos are themselves particles with an extremely low probability of absorption, that is, interaction, with other types of matter [see "The Neutrino," by Philip Morrison; SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, January, 1956]. They have no charge and no mass. As long ago as 1933 Niels Bohr inquired: "What is the difference between [neutrinos] and the quanta of gravitational waves?" In the so-called weak interactions neutrinos are emitted together with other particles. What about processes involving only neutrinos-say, the emission of a neutrino- antineutrino pair by an excited nucleus? No one has detected such events, but they may occur, perhaps on the same time scale as the gravitational interaction. A pair of neutrinos would furnish a spin of two, the value calculated for the graviton by Dirac. All this is, of course, the sheerest speculation, but a connection between neutrinos and gravity is an exciting theoretical possibility.
Gravity and Electromagnetism
In the laboratory diary of Michael Faraday appears the following entry in 1849: "Gravity. Surely this force must be capable of an experimental relation to electricity, magnetism and other forces, so as to build it up with them in reciprocal action and equivalent effect. Consider for a moment how to set about touching this matter by facts and trial." The numerous experiments he undertook to discover such a relation were fruitless, and he concludes that part of his diary with the words: "Here end my trials for the present. The results are negative. They do not shake my strong feeling of the existence of a relation between gravity and electricity, though they give no proof that such a relation exists." Subsequent experimental efforts have not been any more successful.
A theoretical attack aimed at bringing the electromagnetic field into line with the gravitational field was undertaken by Einstein. Having reduced gravity to the geometrical properties of a space-time continuum, he became convinced that the electromagnetic field must also have some purely geometrical interpretation. However, the "unified field" theory, which grew out of this conviction, had hard going, and Einstein died without producing anything so simple, elegant and convincing as his earlier work. Today fewer and fewer physicists are working at unified-field theory; most are persuaded that the effort to geometrize the electromagnetic field is futile. It seems, at least to the author, that the true relation between gravitational and electromagnetic forces is to be found only through an understanding of the nature of elementary particles-an understanding of why there exist particles with just certain inertial masses and not others-and of the relation between the masses and the electric and magnetic properties of the particles.
As a sample of one of the basic questions in this field, consider again the relative strength of gravitational and electromagnetic interactions. Instead of comparing the times required for emission of quanta, let us compare the actual strength of the electrostatic and gravitational forces between a pair of middleweight particles, say pi mesons. Computation shows that the ratio of electrostatic to gravitational force equals the square of the charge on an electron divided by the square of the mass of the particles times the gravitational constant : e2 / M2 C. For two pi mesons the value is 10^40. Any theory that claims to describe the relation between electromagnetism and gravity must explain this ratio. It should be pointed out that the ratio is a pure number, one that remains unchanged no matter what system of units is used for measuring the various physical quantities. Such dimensionless constants, which can be derived in a purely mathematical way, often turn up in theoretical formulas, but they are usually small numbers such as 2π, 5/3 and the like.

It's challenging to do two two-show days back to back. In New York we have 2 shows on Saturday and Wednesday but the Ahmanson is way downtown and I imagine it's hard for people to get here mid-week for a matinee.
Sleep between shows is what saves me. Thank goodness I am able to do that…put in ear plugs, curl up with Tulea under a cozy blanket that I was given as a gift for doing The Talk.
The opening went well and reviews are good and we're relieved that it's over and we can relax into the show. Moises has gone to New York to begin rehearsing "Bengal Tiger in the Baghdad Zoo" with Robin Williams. I will get to see it in April. I was a little jealous and feeling bereft when he (Moises) left but I'll get over it. Still, I wish he was here cause I have a few new ideas that I want to show him.
It's a little like old home week these days- many old friends coming to see the show. Tonight, David Zeiger will be here. I met him in 1971 at a GI coffeehouse in Kileen Texas near Fort Hood. He made a terrific documentary about the GI Movement during the Vietnam War, "Sir, No Sir!"
I just learned that Mark Rydell, the director who directed "On Golden Pond", is also in the audience. And friends John Taylor, bass guitarist with Duran Duran ( named after the evil scientist in "Barbarella") is here tonight with his wife, Gela, founder of Juicy Couture. I will have to race out of the theatre to try and make a brief visit to the pre-Grammy party given every year by Clive Davis so I may not have a chance to visit with these friends. I'll only stay a few minutes, though, cause tomorrow our matinee is an hour earlier, at 1pm so I'll need to get to bed as soon as I can. The next 2 days are going to be really hard but I will talk about that tomorrow. I'm writing this during a short break and I have to get ready to go back on stage.
hasta mañana

CeMPED is co-directed by Professor Phyllis Butow (School of Psychology), Professor Martin Tattersall (Central Clinical School) and A/Professor Alexandra Barratt (School of Public Health). CeMPED is a cross-faculty, multidisciplinary organisation that sits within the School of Psychology, the School of Public Health and the Department of Medicine within the Faculties of Science and Medicine. It combines the two very active existing research groups within the University; the Medical Psychology Research Unit (MPRU) and the Sydney Health Decision Group (SHDG).
Bosch Institute, University of Sydney and NSW Health
The Bosch Institute is a joint initiative of the University of Sydney and the NSW Health Service, carrying out "from bench to bedside" research with projects that range from basic research at the molecular level right through to the application of research findings in a clinical setting. Research in the Cancer, Cell Biology and Development theme, led by Professor Des Richardson, uses cell biological and other methods to investigate the mechanisms that regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. This general approach is applied to understanding basic cell physiology, cancer biology, developmental biology and the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. There are a number of areas of particular research strengths within this Research Theme. These include hormonal control of cell function (including the role of hormones in promoting the growth of breast and prostate cancers), the regulation of gene expression (and its importance in determining embryonic development, tumour progression and tissue differentiation), intracellular signalling systems, and the diagnosis and treatment of malignancies.
Centenary Institute, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and University of Sydney
The Centenary Institute, located at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH), is directed by Professor Mathew Vadas. The Centenary Institute has formal affiliations with the University of Sydney and RPAH and its location helps to promote opportunities for students to become involved in research as well as the translation of basic discoveries into clinical practices. The Centenary Institute's research programme is based on a combination of cell biology, molecular medicine and immunology. Research is carried out by eight teams within Centenary, namely B Cell Biology, Cancer Drug Resistance, Gene and Stem Cell Therapy, Liver Immunobiology, Lymphocyte Differentiation, Molecular Cardiology, Mycobacterial Immunity, and T Cell Biology. In addition, collaborative research programmes exist with departments and institutes at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital including Clinical Immunology, Cardiology, Institute of Haematology and the Sydney Cancer Centre.

The Medical Foundation, a privately funded medical research funding body within the University of Sydney, supports a portfolio of internationally recognised research across diverse fields of medicine in Sydney Medical School Clinical Schools and associated institutes.
The Medical Foundation Cancer Program includes research into the prevention, cause and treatment of breast cancer, prostate cancer and liver cancer, as well as measuring the effects of genes, environment and behaviour on cancer risk and outcome.
NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre
The NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre, a clinical research organisation, runs large multicentre clinical trials, takes part in trials of national and international collaborative trial groups and contributes expertise to trials run by others.
It also undertakes research into trial methods and reviews evidence from completed trials. For groups wanting to run their own trials, the CTC will advise on trial design or operation, randomise patients or analyse data.
The Oncology Program at the CTC coordinates clinical trials of treatments for a range of cancers. These phase II and phase III studies are often multidisciplinary, incorporating surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology and novel treatments such as biological agents. The CTC is the coordinating centre for several cancer cooperative research groups, for example, ANZ BCTG, AGITG, ANZGOG, ANZGCTG, ALTG, COGNO, APUG.
The Cochrane Breast Cancer Group
The Cochrane Breast Cancer Group (CBCG) is a Collaborative Review Group (CRG) of The Cochrane Collaboration. The CBCG is committed to the development of evidence relating to the prevention, early detection and treatment of breast cancer. The group was registered with The Cochrane Collaboration in September, 1996. Its activities are coordinated by a team of Editors and Secretariat based at The University of Sydney, Australia.

School of Public Health
The Cancer Genes, Environment and Behaviour Program is led by Professor Bruce Armstrong. Most of the research collects individual data from people with cancer. The project "Why do some breast cancers present at an advanced stage in women in Australia?" has interviewed women with breast cancer about events leading to their diagnosis. The question arose through research findings that larger breast cancers are as frequent now as in the early 1990s, despite widespread breast screening and falling breast cancer death rates. The research is exploring how much individual contribution is made by factors such as: the women's social support, the type of breast cancer, and their access to medical care. Ongoing studies are also investigating the health impact of mobile phone use and the interaction of sun exposure and personal risk profiles in the development of skin cancer, both melanoma and the non-melanocytic skin cancers.
The research undertaken by the Tobacco Control Group, led by Professor Simon Chapman in the School of Public Health, seeks to provide evidence about nicotine addiction and the adverse health effects of smoking (the link between smoking and lung cancer), supporting the need for strong regulation of the tobacco industry. These results are very important to public health in Australia, and this work draws on over 40 million pages of internal documents regarding the tobacco industry's strategies to resist effective tobacco control in Australasia.
The Screening and Diagnostic Test Evaluation Program (STEP) has been established within the School of Public Health since 1998, and includes research in two broad areas: understanding which screening programs are worthwhile and examine how those that are worthwhile should be best implemented, and exploring the test performance characteristics of different screening and diagnostic tests. STEP has three broad research arms: screening and diagnostic test accuracy, screening and diagnostic test outcomes, and informed decision making in screening and diagnostic tests.

With respect to cancer research, groups within the Faculty of Pharmacy are currently focusing on understanding the variability in response to anticancer medicines. Work led by Professor McLachlan uses a population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modelling approach to investigate inter-patient variability and correlate predictive patient factors with drug exposure in people living with cancer. Work led by Professor Murray is looking at the development of omega-3 fatty acid derivatives as anti-cancer agents, as well as the optimisation of anti-cancer treatments in patients (with respect to cytochrome P450). The ultimate aim of this work is to provide a rational basis for dose individualisation to improve treatment outcome.
The Australia-China Centre for Research in Chinese Medicines (ACCRCM)
The Australia-China Centre for Research in Chinese Medicines (ACCRCM) was established in 2007 and is joint collaboration between the University of Sydney, the University of Western Sydney and Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China.

Australian troops 'kill two Afghan children'
- Published: 2 Mar 2013 at 21.49
- Online news: Asia
Australian soldiers in southern Afghanistan shot dead two children tending cattle, officials said Saturday, in an incident likely to escalate tensions over the conduct of international troops.
An Australian soldier with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) patrols Tirin Kot, the capital of Afghanistan's Uruzgan province, on February 17, 2007. Australian soldiers in southern Afghanistan have shot dead two children tending cattle, local officials said as the international coalition launched an inquiry into the incident.
Civilian casualties caused by NATO-led forces have been one of the most contentious issues in the campaign against Taliban insurgents, often triggering widespread public anger and harsh criticism from President Hamid Karzai.

on a Whim I put all four 1 gig sticks of Lanfest ram in my system. I knew ahead of time, or atleast thought windows xps is limited to 3.50gbs of ram is this correct and is there any bennifit to having all 4 GB in a windows xp system. Will it negativly effect my system at all? and will it use atleast 3.50gb of the 4 gb of ram. I figure I would buy the Lanfest ahead of time for the future because it is a limited edition and when vistas gets the bugs out I might move in that direction.
32-bit XP is limited to 4Gb maximum, however all your add-on cards (including graphics) take up a portion of that 4Gb register. So the more you have, and the more powerful your graphics card, the less space you will have. On 64-bit XP you are limited to 128Gb of RAM
The amount of usable RAM is dependent on the hardware devices you have in your system. 32 bit OS (like WinXP) are capable of addressing all 4 GBs of RAM, however, some is set aside for hardware devices (PCI-E, PCI, etc.) which is why you will see Windows reporting something less than 4GBs. Usually you will see somewhere between 2.75GB and 3.5GB available. Putting is 4 sticks will keep your system operating in dual channel mode, where as 3 x 1GB will not. So, put in the 4 x 1GB and enjoy
So if I'm reading this right it will use all 4gb but just show 3.5GB and it will still be benifical to multitasking etc and make my system slightly faster right? I'm glad I put the other stick in then. It sure boots faster.
It should only make your system faster if the system needs more than what you had before, so that it does not have to go out to the pagefile to get information. So if you had 2GB and that was sufficient for what you are doing, 4GB should not make it faster. However, if you had 3GB you were not running in dual channel mode so adding the extra stick would get you an improvement. Anyway, IMO the more RAM the better. I would rather have 3GB than 2GB, unless you are benchmarking.
Also remember, with overclocking you can only go as fast as the slowest part. doubling the amount of ram ICs (16 per stick, 2gb 32, 4gb 64) may have a impact on your max memory speeds. This is why benchers only use just as much ram as they need, 256mbit ics are usually faster than 512mbit, and therefore clock higher.
I noticed a slight drop so far but at my everyday clock it is the same. My systems does seems snappier
3GB switch Have you ever tried this and does it have any benifits http://searchwincomputing.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid68_gci1108831,00.html Here is another link explaining it. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e834e9c7-708c-43bf-b877-e14ae443ecbf.aspx it sounds like it will let you use 1 gig for Windows and 3 gig for application games etc.. instead of 2 for Windows and 2 for applications and games. i'm using it now and it lets you boot to either at start up.
After reading looks like it really isn't for me http://blogs.technet.com/askperf/archive/2007/03/23/memory-management-demystifying-3gb.aspx
so wait does that work for xp? Cuz the MS link there says it only works for Windows 2000 & 2003? That does look pretty sick tho.
benchmark your system. then edit your boot.ini file and put /PAE and then benchmark after you reboot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension all 4 gigs will be used, just not recognized by windows.
you read the wrong one yes works for xp http://searchwincomputing.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid68_gci1108831,00.html
That's a kewl site. Good illumination on that... I was suddenly "mystified" by the prospect also, but this definitely dispels the myths well.
The only reason to use the /3Gb switch is if you have 4Gb, and you only see less than 3Gb. If you see more than 3Gb then you'll see NO difference what so ever. It's for the people who lots of add-in cards, and big meaty graphics cards that see 2.75Gb or something like that. Just switch to XP x64 and you don't have these problems
BAHAHAHAHA Sorry I LOVE your signature... I say that to people who think they know programming and they go huh?!?!? XP itself only allows up to 4gb to be addressed, while server applications can cache much more to ram... Not sure what the difference is...

Extending restorative justice among young adults
from the Barrow Cadbury Trust website:
A new report by the Restorative Justice Council, launched today, recommends that all victims of crime should be offered restorative justice, regardless of the age of the offender. Currently, restorative justice is less available to the victims of crimes committed by young adults (aged 18-25) than victims of crimes committed by young people aged 17, despite its proven benefits to victims and in helping people turn away from a life of crime.

Developing restorative justice circle intuition
from the entry by Kris Miner in Restorative Justice and Circles:
The first step is to gain knowledge, the 'how to' of a Restorative Justice Circle. Then you develop experience, those experiences lend to your understanding and ability to predict what happens. Pour in some passion, some real care and authenticity to your work and you'll develop an effective style of Circle Keeping. That blends to provide Circle intuition.
Your grace with sorrow informs your restorative justice approach
from the entry by Kris Miner on Restorative Justice and Circles:
....The type of "informed" work that influences practitioners, the topic of this blog, comes down to the way we carry our own sorrow. I think this impacts the manner and approach with we use with victims, offenders, and community members. From the range of simple to extremely complex cases, our own sorrows (and the grace of which we carry sorrow) comes along to our facilitation experiences. The experiences we have a facilitator also inform our ability to carry sorrow with grace.

Considering consequences
I enjoy restorative conferencing. I've been awed by the way people share their hearts and address the harms they've caused or experienced. While not everyone will go into a conference, I like offering an opportunity. I've learned that I can serve just by listening to stories when people aren't interested in the conference process. They are interested in someone who will listen to them.

Can I cry?
I have a confession to make. I cry at the drop of a hat. Movies, television shows, commercials, stories – it doesn't matter. I can be in tears in 0.2 seconds.
So, it may be a surprise to folks that know me to learn that I don't cry when I'm facilitating. I'm tempted at times, but I haven't actually shed tears during a conference. I've been thinking about this recently after a training event in Panama where several Prison Fellowship leaders were talking about facilitating the Sycamore Tree Project®. The training had been intense with personal stories and a lot of tears. In the middle of all the sharing, one of the leaders asked if it was okay for the facilitator to cry.

A need to talk
"He never talked to us and we were friends."
I recently heard this statement several times from a couple whose teenage son was killed in a vehicular accident. The "he" they referred to was the driver of the vehicle who had been their neighbour at the time. Throughout the hour long preconference, they continually repeated their hurt and disappointment that the offender had not offered condolences or talked to them since the accident. That lack of communication just seemed to weigh on this couple as they struggled with their grief.

Releasing control
As a facilitator, I occasionally face situations that give me pause. Do I really want to facilitate this case? Am I competent to facilitate such a case? There are times I walk into the situation with real concerns and doubts, but simply have to trust the process.

What's wrong with this picture: Thief stole laptop after apologising to victim
from the article in The Telepgraph:
Editor's Note: Alright, boys and girls. What mistakes were made in this case?
A thief forced to apologise to his victim for stealing his laptop under a restorative justice programme stole the man's replacement computer during the visit.
Months earlier Ivan Barker, 21, had stolen a laptop and cigarettes from wheelchair-bound Jean Jacque Mathely.

Certificate in Restorative Justice (delivered online)
From Simon Fraser University's website:
An idea with deep roots in Aboriginal and many faith-based communities, restorative justice is enjoying a resurgence. While holding offenders responsible for repairing the damage they have done, it takes a community-minded approach to managing criminal and other conflict. The Certificate in Restorative Justice introduces you to the philosophy behind this powerful concept. Moving beyond theory, it also examines restorative practices such as mediation, conferencing, and circles, and how to use these methods in conflict situations and community development.

Woz – Moving Shadow. In my mind THE most influential label on D&B and broken beats in general. When Rob Playford called it quits in 2008 saying that he didn't want to dilute the quality of releases on the label I felt like a piece of D&B had died. The back catalog of Moving Shadow is like a history of D&B itself. From rave to breakbeat hardcore to jungle to D&B, Moving Shadow had always been there and always had the best artists of the time producing the best music.
When I was cutting my teeth on rave tunes, Moving Shadow had some of the deepest, roughest and most danceable tunes on the scene. Rob Playford as 2 Bad Mice (along with Sean O'Keeffe & Simon Colebrooke) was killing it with Bomb Scare, an anthem so large it still influences producers and gets sampled today. Blame's – Music Takes You and Omni Trio's – Mystic Stepper pretty much kicked off the lighter and more musical Intelligent genre of Jungle and D&B. And Kaotic Chemistry's – Illegal Subs showed just how catchy and devastating Breakbeat Hardcore really could be.
This mix is the beginning of a series that will take you through 15+ years of Moving Shadow History. It is going to be long and god knows how many parts there will be to it, because as a label Moving Shadow have literally thousands of releases. But one thing I do know is that the mixes are going to be quality and the music exceptionable.
