FIRMS Submission Guideline for PeopleSoft 8.4 Conversion |
This is to provide guidance on the FIRMS submission requirement for those campuses
that convert or upgrade to PeopleSoft 8.4 Finance during the 2004/05 fiscal year.
FIRMS data is normally due on the 10th working day after the close of the quarter
(i.e., usually around the 14th of the following month) except for the fourth quarter,
which is due July 31. Campuses that convert or upgrade to 8.4 will be allowed
additional three weeks to complete their FIRMS submission from 8.4 for the quarter
ending immediately before the go-live date. All other quarterly submissions should
be completed according to the normal submission schedule. For example, those campuses that will go live on 8.4 in October will be allowed additional three weeks until November 5 to complete the first quarter submission from 8.4. Those campuses that will go live on 8.4 in January should submit the first quarter data on the normal schedule by October 14 from 7.5 or a legacy system they are using, and then complete the second quarter submission from 8.4 by February 4. Since FIRMS quarterly submissions are cumulative, we are aware the second quarter submission may contain data derived from two different methods during the transition. Please let us know immediately if you will not be able to meet the submission schedule. I can be reached at (562) 951-4671 or via email firstname.lastname@example.com. GVA:lw AD 04-05 | ||

Words of support celebrating the teen's survival could be seen painted on a giant boulder outside Buena Vista High School on Tuesday.
The rock is a popular spot for students to celebrate football victories and show school spirit, Principal Brian Yates said. As word spread about the Johnsons' deaths Monday night, he said, a group of students repainted it to honor them.
They painted a blue cross and a red heart, and in big letters, "FOR THE JOHNSONS." Smaller notes are scrawled nearby, like "Never forgotten," "Your spirits live on" and "Stay strong, Gracie."
Together, the Johnsons were deeply involved in their community, Yates said.
Kiowa was a senior at the school and a star athlete.
Dwayne was a football coach known for the way he connected with players. Dawna waited tables at two restaurants to support her family but still had time to help coach track.
"They were like parents to all of us," Yates said.
As those who knew them in Buena Vista grieve, they are also offering words of encouragement to the teen who survived the deadly rock slide.
"I'm so happy that you're still here for your brother and for your family," family friend Anna Yates said Tuesday when asked what she'd like to tell Gracie. "You're just a miracle. Everyone has faith in you."
After all, she said, Faith is Gracie's middle name.

Online Reservations
I accidentally made my reservation for the wrong date. I did not realize this until I showed up at the restaurant with my party of 10. They were so kind to accommodate us and they even offered to switch my open table reservation to the correct date so I would be able to collect the points! It was my mother-in-laws birthday and she was treated to a nice dessert with candles. What could have been a disaster (due to my mistake) turned out to be a great day for all of us.
The only reason why I give this restaurant a 4 is because it is extremely expensive. If you're looking for a nice place and willing to spend money; this is your place. However if you are just tired of walking around and you are looking for a place that is reasonable, then keep walking because the food wasn't any better than your neighborhood Chile's. It just seemed like I paid for presentation. But I digress it was bad, just expensive.
I frequent this restaurant often for lunch and am never disappointed. Their menu offers something for those who just want to nibble and for those who come hungry. Either way, you will leave pleased!
Nice place with good food. Outdoors was closes as still too cold. Good and quick service
Perfect French bistro setting. Vibrant and happening lunch scene. Very professional waitstaff that serve you with alacrity, but without obtrusiveness. Fantastic Chicken Paillard, and nice little macaroons offered with coffee.The only downside is that the pricing is a bit steep, but that's Midtown.
They do a good job of not letting the bit of building scaffolding get in the way
Third visit; this time with good weather, we were outdoors. Food is consistently tasty and well served. Good selection of fare especially for lunch. Attentive service. Not cheap but not outlandish given the location.
I generally like to come here for the Truffle Fries and Cocktails after work, but stopped in for lunch today. The crab cake was amazing and the sushi was a great addition to the menu. Sitting outside, enjoying a nice breeze was a great way to break up my work day and avoid the hustle and bustle of Rock Center...
I go at least once a week. Love sitting outside. Excellent service.
Spring overlooking Rockefeller Center with perfect weather and wonderful menu! We so enjoyed the grilled branzino and the attentive service. What a lovely way to celebrate one of the few genuine spring days this year.
Excellent service, great healthy food. Was a good choice for my business lunch. Outdoor tables are lovely on sunny days.
Service was very good - food really good - it was a hot Sunday afternoon - yet we felt comfortable outside! Nice location for nyc
Pricey but worth it for the people-watching, and ability to sit outside. On this particular afternoon, however, the outdoor seating was unbearably hot, and the heavy canvas tenting only contributed to the heat.
If you're looking for a chic. vibrant lunch spot to entertain a business guest or pleasure set, Brasserie Ruhlmann is your place. The beautiful Art Deco interior and dining is quite stunning. It has the straight-out-of-Paris feel. The food great and the ambiance is "alone among the crowd". I've been to this restaurant many times and I always want to come back. The outdoor dining room places you in the bustling Rockefeller center but the awning gives you relief from the summer sun and enriches the sense of privacy. You want chic? Ruhlmann's the place.
Marvelous experience! A great alternate to Sea Grille in same area. Outdoor, umbrella-covered seating affords nice view of Channel Gardens at Rock Center Rink. Indoors is clubby yet not stuffy. Mixed crowd of power brokers to theater goers. Excellent menu variety is able to please any diner's preferences or limitations. Highly recommended.
One of my favorite midtown places for outdoor dining spring, fall and summer! Love it!
The location and the food itself was great. I tried this restaurant with my girlfriends during restaurant week. It looks great for outdoor dining. Our waiter was, however, a little rude. He didnt have the patience to listen to our orders and seemed irritated. The good thing is that they seemed to quickly realize this and sent other people (including someone who appeared to be in charge at the time) to our table to make sure we were being served well. Overall, it was a good experience.
Outside on a beautiful summer night with visitors from out of town- a perfect night! We loved it!
Have dined at Brasserie Ruhlmann many times for lunch and the food and service are excellent. All staff makes you feel welcome and special. Very enjoyable dining outside at Rockefeller Center.
Great spot for outdoor dining. Food was very good - classic bistro
We sat outside and enjoyed a beautiful lunch people watching as people walked past Rock Center Plaza. The shrimp & lobster salad sandwich and the organic chicken pesto panini, the french fries are amazing!
The food was great. The prices are high for what you get, but it's not an everyday restaurant.
We had a beautiful night at Rockerfeller. The food was pricey, but it was good. Our waiter was very nice and prompt. We had a lovely dining experience outside.
My wife and I vacation in NYC once or twice a year and we frequently have lunch or dinner at Brasserie Ruhlmann. The food is authentically French, the room fells like we're in Paris, and the service is always first rate. This trip it was lunch on the patio on a sunny afternoon in August. The big umbrellas provided shade but didn't obstruct our view of Rockefeller Center. Claudia was our waitress and she was excellent. She was very attentive to our 13 year old grandson who was in the city for his first time. She made a recommendation to my wife on a nice dish she thought she'd like. It was as good as Claudia said. Kudos to the Brasserie for top rate food, ambiance, and service. See you soon. George Brinkman from Cincinnati, Ohio
This past weekend I enjoyed another delightful outdoor lunch at Brasserie Ruhlmann. The service was exceptional, and the food was tasty and satisfying. I shall be returning next week in celebration of a friend's birthday. Plus, nothing surpasses dining outdoors with a scenic view of Rockefeller Plaza!
Unfortunately they were out of the Watermelon Gazpacho, but the substitute of Corn Mushroom Soup was delicious. I enjoyed the Roasted Beets and Grapefruit Ricotta Salata Salad. The Hanger Steak was tasty. And the desserts - Chocolate Macaron and the Raspberry Vacherin were to die for. Although the portions seemed small, they were tasty and filling. Looking forward on returning to try the Watermelon Gazpacho.
The corner table that was requested was perfect for a semi-private business lunch meeting. The cut of beef in the steak frittes was delicious. The whole experience was how a good business lunch should be played out. Well done!
We are a from Westchester county and we like to eat in NYC once or twice per month. Most of the time we go to the same places, but given that is the end of the summer we deceided to give this place a try. The location is one of the best in NYC, we sat outside and love the view of the Rockefeller Plaza. The menu is not extensive, but very good dish selections. I tried the Skate and I love it. The staff was very proffesional and provided an outstanding service. Looking forward to the next visit.
I love Brasserie Ruhlman for an outdoor lunch. There's no better setting to be in Rockefeller Center on a beautiful day & having a great meal. I can't get past the hamburgers to try anything new though since they are so yummy!!! I will return!
The food and service were very good. A little too chilly for outdoors but inside was very elegant. Went on a Tues. around 8:30..not too many diners, so it was quieter than I'd like but still had an enjoyable evening
Food and choices are great. Service efficient and professional. Everyone is attentive. Lots of choices in seating areas and ambiance. Great for outdoor dining as well. Great location and good for lunch and dinner. Have gone back several times and will go back again.
I always enjoy my times there. Right across from Rockefeller Center. Great place to people watch. Outdoor dining very nice. If you're lucky, get a window table to see the tree at holiday time.
We had a 6pm reservation here before an 8pm Broadway show. We walked to restauant from our hotel off Times Square. We were celebrating our daughter's 13th birthday! Restaurant is beautiful-art deco like, old-school fancy NYC right on Rockefeller Plaza-very pretty at night! Service was amazing, food amazing and they even had a beautiful bday dessert for my daughter (we called ahead and told them it was her bday-from the second we walked up, everyone there started wishing her a happy bday-made it very special). When we arrived at 6pm, it was abit quiet since it was so early, but it quickly filled up w/diners and bar patrons. We finished around 7:20pm-enough time to walk over to the Broadway Theater and catch our show. Wonderful night!
Great decor, location, good food and service but utensils not up to this class of restaurant .
Business lunch, not too loud to have a conversation. Food was quickly delivered and very tasty. Great service. Pricey but what do you expect for the location...
Shopping and show near Rock Center and wanted a central spot for luch. Arrived for first reservations at 11:45 which was smart as by 12:30 the restaurant was packed. Asked for a window table and received it . Service was outstanding, the chicken panini and amazing french fries great as well as was the decedant apple tart we shared for dessert. Pretty high ceiling room and the bar looked nice as well. Would definately recommend and return - You can see the Christmas Tree from some of the windows as it is right in the Plaza - It was surrounded by scaffolding this day but would be lovely when done - a nice respite from the crazy holiday crowds in a week or too! Make a reservation then or you probably will not get in!
Busy Art Deco dining room with elegant touches; very good French cuisine typical of brasserie. Very crowded at lunch and can be hard to hear conversations. Clears out quickly after 2 and is noticeably more relaxed. Try the Lobster Cobb Salad! Healthier than it sounds and come w a unique Asian oriented dressing!
Wonderful food in the heart of Rockefeller Center. Divine saads, wide sushi selection and exquisite entrees.
i picked the restaurant because of the location to THE CHRISTMAS TREE area. I wanted to take my two grandchildren to brunch/lunch. I would have preferred brunch menu as we had a noon reservation. The food and service were fine but I did not want to spend the amount of money that I did for lunch. We we going to a show afterwards and would have preferred a less expensive menu. Even a simple hamburger was $22. It was my fault for not checking out the prices on the menu.
The Brasserie was kind enough to take us in early and give us the table with the view of the tree that I had requested. The service was outstanding. The food was good. At first I had ordered crab cake and they came back to tell me they were out of it. My wife ordered a fish entree and wasn't as impressed. I was impressed with the variety of the wines they sold by the glass. My only complaints would the fact that the menu was limited and they were out of something on the menu and did not tell us when they seated us. The noise level was higher than I had expected. I was disturbed by the gratuity suggested on the bill. It said recommended gratuity 18%, but the amount they recommended was more than 20% gratuity.
The menu was limited but the food was good and the service was excellent.
Brasserie Ruhlmann at Christmas time wouldn't necessarily be your first choice, especially for a native New Yorker, given its location in Rockefeller Center. However, with an out of town guest it was my restaurant of choice. On a very busy Saturday night, they offered fine food (onion soup is excellent) and great service. What impressed the most was that the maitre'd came over to give me the bill and indicated that the dessert was on the house since they were late in bringing the requested cheese to the table. Admittedly, delivery of the cheese was not problematic for me. However, thought it was very thoughtful and certainly appreciated that they noticed.
This place is great in tourist heavy Rock Center, busy but good food and service. Not a bargain, for sure, but great on a corporate expense account or such. Steak frites are yummy, and the bar makes a fine Manhattan. Four stars !
Took my wife for her bday. Service was excellent. Seating was as requested, view of Xmas tree. Glass of champagne to start the evening on the house. Food was very good. Attention to detail was excellent. Very efficient. Highly recommended.
We were a party of 4 friends. Had the ribs, lobster/shrimp sandwich, paradelle and mussels marinara. Everything was excellent!! This was our first time here and we will definitely be back.
We snuck in a wonderful two hour cocktail and dinner date between our holiday viewing of the Rockefeller Center tree and ice skaters, and a raucous night of laughter at Kinky Boots. It's easy to walk from the Ruhlmann through the vibrant Times Square crowds to the theaters. Our cocktails were chilled to perfection, the dinner was very good (actually much better than I thought it might be) and the chocolate macaron dessert was truly exceptional. The staff were very attentive and yet non- intrusive. We dined at our leisure. Next time we are in Rockefeller Center we will go back for another bite.
Outstanding service, atmosphere and food. A perfect evening.
It was snowing and blowing outside but in Ruhlmann we were having a great meal served by great staff who seemed happy to be there and happy we were there. The lobster mac and cheese was super. And the Rock Center tree right outside didn't hurt either. The wild mushroom risotto was perfect for the cold night. We will definitely be back
I have avoided this restaurant as I thought it was a place for tourists. What a mistake! We had the most wonderful lunch and have made plans to return. The food is outstanding as was the service.
Once again, I have had the time of my life at Brasserie Ruhlmanns! Went for lunch with two work colleagues and dined outside in their "pleasure garden" amongst the hustle bustle of NYC one is transported to another place -- could it be Lake Como, Vienna, Paris perhaps? The service and food are divine. The location is perfect. Feelings of a private garden and those sitting within are the lucky ones. Intimate dining al fresco in the middle of it all - Rockefeller Center. FABULOUS!

Why did Seattle turn manhole covers into works of art?
By Paula Wissel
"We, in our 20's and 30's, took over the city from the old men who were sitting in the Rainier Club playing dominoes all day."
There are thousands of manhole covers on the streets of Seattle. Some of them, 115 to be exact, are official works of art. Artists are commissioned by the city to create them. It's one of those little quirks that set the city apart.
Why the city decided to decorate these "personnel hatch covers," as the city now refers to them, harks back to a time when the city was full of creative energy and lots of city activists were looking for ways to improve the quality of urban life.

Salvage isn't a bad idea given that there are more players competing in a round, but the ability to salvage friendlies wrecks for money would be a bit rude and badass tbh... something to do with SV would be nice too, but I afraid people exploit it.
If you were to nerf ambo respawn, a second mashman could be a nice replacement to encourage teamwork.
I'm not sure if this is too crazy, but it could be handy to give someone an ability to build basic defence like sandbags and machine guns.
In Domination, Machinegunners have the ability to delpoy MG nests if they had an MG in their inventory. I could make a similar system.
I'm trying to think of very factional skills, for example, the OPFOR takistanis can deploy IEDs as their special skill and BLUFOR can do.... something that BLUFOR do..

Match report: York City Knights 26, Hunslet Hawks 28
10:30am Monday 3rd September 2012 in Sport By Peter Martini, email@example.com
York City Knights player-boss Chris Thorman fails with a late conversion attempt that would have earned his side a draw with Hunslet
York City Knights fans will be glad it's all over. This 2012 season has, frankly, been rubbish. And there wasn't even a happy ending, hard as they might try.
At one point, it looked like they might just pull off an unlikely comeback from 22-4 down in this "Wooden Spoon Grand Final" – but arch-rivals Hunslet, fielding nine ex-Knights, held on to win 28-26.
It was unfortunate, therefore, the Knights could not finish not only the season but also player-coach Chris Thorman's illustrious playing career in more fitting fashion. Second-bottom, cast adrift from the rest of the Championship, is bad enough. But last? Nah, he didn't deserve that.
The former Super League star – who has given three years to the Huntington Stadium club as inspirational player, assistant-coach, community development officer, student mentor, and, over the last 12 months, player-boss – has regularly shown he can still cut it on the pitch (often as the team's only half-back), even if he does now hang up his boots to take on an assistant role at Huddersfield.
But the rest of his squad, beset by injuries, dual-registration departures and the need to throw brave novices into the deep end, have shown they cannot – not yet anyway – especially with club chiefs unwilling to spend on strengthening when there was no threat of relegation due to the league restructuring.
How ironic it was, therefore, that it was Thorman who missed the touchline conversion that would have drawn his side level with five minutes left in which to get a winner.
It wasn't hard to see why these two sides, both hit by injury hoodoos, were stuck at the bottom of the division, so far behind everyone else.
Both showed how they can at times trouble teams in this tier and both had performers who, like Thorman, were deserving of more. But both showed why they had only one win each before this game. York were poor in the first half, Hunslet in the second. Both made too many unforced errors, and lacked the consistent intensity, power, pace and skill levels found higher up the table.
It nevertheless still made for an entertaining encounter and quite a rip-roaring finale – albeit with a sad ending befitting of York's season as a whole.
Hopefully Thorman got a better send-off afterwards when, after months of toil and trouble, he could finally let his hair down and, to coin a phrase used by someone who will remain anonymous, "drink his body weight in booze".
Yesterday's match had started well for York, but early pressure was wasted when Matt Garside opted to kick on the second tackle close to the visitors' line.
Possession was lost, as was position thanks to a penalty, and Hunslet broke through with full-back, Stuart Kain running home.
Luck helped the Hawks to increase their lead. The ball went to ground but referee Gareth Hewer deemed it had gone backwards and, with defenders confused and out of position, half-back Luke Helliwell darted through and gave Steve Lewis – a one-time winger with York and now a prop for the Hawks – the try.
The game was then beset by farce after Hewer came across a hole in the pitch which had not been spotted by match commissioner John Glover before kick off.
It's not the first time this Huntington Stadium surface has been a source of embarrassment.
The fact it took 15 minutes for someone to get a bucket of soil as players warmed down and up again added to the sense of slapstick.
The break probably did York good as it meant they could delay bringing 17-year-old props Tim Stubbs and Liam Ellis into the fray, and because they soon hit back on the scoreboard, Tom Bush superbly weaving from acting-half and timing his pass to send George Elliott speeding in.
Elliott, the former Leeds threequarter, had been handed the scrum-half shirt to become the tenth – tenth! – half-back partner for Thorman this season, although he played more as a "running back" with Thorman again the only playmaker.
His high tackle, though, gave Hunslet a penalty from which David March sneakily got Liam Welham to the line for a 16-4 half-time lead.
It would have been worse for York too, but for Hawks profligacy and superb last-man defending by full-back Bush.
He had earlier got his angles right to force Lee Mapals into a sloppy pass after the winger had broken down centre-field with men in support, and he later read Welham's dummy to sub winger Dennis Tuffour and superbly hauled him down.
Welham made no mistake 30 seconds into the second half, though, finishing a superb break by John Oakes – who has beefed up immensely since his York days.
The rest of the half largely belonged to York as, led by rampaging prop Adam Sullivan, backed up by some excellent work by sub Dario Esposito, and with some to-hell-with-it-all rugby, they fought back.
Esposito and Jack Lee created a try for Waine Pryce and, although Tuffour made it 22-10 after Gareth Poutney was laid out when running back a kick, Poutney more than made amends.
Clever footwork got him a try and, after Lee crashed in, he got his second when superbly taking a Thorman cross-field kick to the corner.
In between times, Helliwell, with three conversions behind him, had eked up Hunslet's lead with a penalty conceded by Esposito, meaning York were still two points behind.
Thorman, with three conversions behind him, could not goal this one though, and nothing more came from a frantic finale.
Match facts
Knights: Bush 8, Pryce 6, Sutton 6, Garside 7, Poutney 7, Thorman 6, Elliott 7, Sullivan 8, Lee 6, Aldous 6, Davies 7, E Smith 6, Freer 7. Subs (all used): Brining 6, Ellis 6, Stubbs 6, Esposito 7.
Tries: Elliott 24; Pryce 49; Poutney 60, 75; Lee 66.
Conversions: Thorman 49, 60, 66.
Hunslet: Kain, Mapals, Nathaniel, Welham, Brickwood, Helliwell, Karalius, Menzies, Haigh, Lewis, Clayton, Oakes, March. Subs used: McLocklan, Tuffour, Yates, Benjafield.
Tries: Kain 4; Lewis 16; Welham 32, 41; Tuffour 55.
Conversions: Helliwell 4, 16, 41 Penalties: Helliwell 72.
Man of the match: Adam Sullivan – gave his all against his former club in a storming second half, edging the accolade from Tom Bush, who was superb at the back in the first.
Referee: Gareth Hewer (Whitehaven) – okay, with some assistance from his touch judges.
Penalty count: 8-4.
Attendance: 913.
Half-time: 4-16.
Weather: warm – almost as if summer had arrived.
Moment of the match: young Gareth Poutney, having already made up for losing the ball in the build-up to Hunslet's last try by side-stepping in himself, leapt quite stunningly to pluck Chris Thorman's long cross-field kick out of the air and touch it down to give Knights late hope.
Gaffe of the match: the failure by match commissioner John Glover to spot the hole in the pitch, leading to the 15-minute delay in play.
Gamebreaker: Thorman, having earlier kicked a touchline conversion, was unable to repeat the feat late on to draw his side level.
Match rating: it wasn't hard to tell these two sides were bottom of the Championship but they served up some entertaining stuff – unfortunately without the happy ending for the retiring Thorman.

To fail to act to ensure player safety does seem to breach Health and Safety Regulations.
Hopefully the RFL will ensure the club is furnished with the brochure 'Annual Preparation and Maintenance of the Rugby League Pitch' as provided by the RFL and RFL Facilities Trust

I had occasion to walk to the fitness center this morning. You know the one, adjoining the tennis court? Where you can ride a stationery bike and feel the breeze off the lake, looking past the trees and over the flower beds? Oh, yes. Got it. So it got me to thinking again, about my favorite things here…………..but really they are too numerous to count. So, how about five?
Well, had very little success holding it to five…………………but here's a peek at a July morning with food, fitness, fungi, flowers, flags,

Client: A small entrepreneurial company from Denmark is currently preparing to launch a new innovative mens product, a semen quality test for home use which indicates the semen mobility with 98 % accuracy! The appearance and use of the product is similar to a pregnancy test.Brief: The company's CEO asked the students at the School of Visual Communication in Denmark to analyze the scandinavian market, find a target group, design and name the product, create a complete visual identity and to introduce the market for a hard-hitting advertising campaign.Strategy: We will introduce the product and its features, and prove to the target group that the test is reliable. And be the target groups first step towards the solution of problems with conceiving.Concept: The concept behind Comma works just like a regular typographic comma, the only difference is that we replace the typographic comma in our sentences with the Comma package. That explains visually why Comma is the break in the pregnancy process when having trouble conceiving.We have decided to not only design a visual identity for the product, but to create an online community where involuntary childless can learn and share with equals, send readers letter to a professional semen analytics and read the latest articles about fertility. Then Comma will not just be a semen quality test, but a compassionate company which care and helps invulentary childless further against conceiving.This is project is made as a pitch.Too see the full project please visithttp://www.behance.net/gallery/Comma/5354315

TL;DR at bottom of textwall
SO! I've never tried this dream hero creating stuff before, but I am very happy with the tool, and ofcourse the initiative made by S2 to implement quality ideas in their hero design, from the community.
I'd like to apologize in advance for any semantic or grammatical errors; english is not my first language.
Anyways, I've reflected some upon the idea that a healing/support class could easily join the front ranks in this game, somewhat like a warrior priest. And what is that? It is a unit capable of healing and buffing his team, that does not neccesarily stay in the back. In fact, there's great emphazis on warrior priests having some offensive capability, and more than not in the form of a lockdown (depending on what you read, D&D and such, it may differ). So, while trying not to break a concept, but still implement it into HoN lore, that is somewhat a mixture of divinity and paganism, I've come up with an idea I find really amusing, and would love to get some feedback on it. Mostly because, while trying to figure this out, I believe I have stumbled upon one or two great ideas, while another (the ultimate on my hero) may seem somewhat generic, however far from misplaced if you ask me.
Anyways, I am not a good judge of good and bad before I have actually tried it for myself, so speculating a hero is very hard for me. I would very much appreciate any feedback on the concept; this is my first hero design, and who knows, I might have a talent. I know there are some very nice dream heroes out there, I took a look before hand, but none of the really popular ones seemed to match this.
Please give feedback on http://dream.heroesofnewerth.com/hero/Gorepunch/Karbul an initiation/support hero, Dream is great, I love hon <3

The immune system is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against attacks by "foreign" invaders. These are primarily microbes—tiny organisms such as bacteria, parasites, and fungi that can cause infections. Viruses also cause infections, but are too primitive to be classified as living organisms. The human body provides an ideal environment for many microbes. It is the immune system's job to keep them out or, failing that, to seek out and destroy them.
When the immune system hits the wrong target, however, it can unleash a torrent of disorders, including allergic diseases, arthritis, and a form of diabetes. If the immune system is crippled, other kinds of diseases result.
The immune system is amazingly complex. It can recognize and remember millions of different enemies, and it can produce secretions (release of fluids) and cells to match up with and wipe out nearly all of them.
The secret to its success is an elaborate and dynamic communications network. Millions and millions of cells, organized into sets and subsets, gather like clouds of bees swarming around a hive and pass information back and forth in response to an infection. Once immune cells receive the alarm, they become activated and begin to produce powerful chemicals. These substances allow the cells to regulate their own growth and behavior, enlist other immune cells, and direct the new recruits to trouble spots.
Although scientists have learned much about the immune system, they continue to study how the body launches attacks that destroy invading microbes, infected cells, and tumors while ignoring healthy tissues. New technologies for identifying individual immune cells are now allowing scientists to determine quickly which targets are triggering an immune response. Improvements in microscopy are permitting the first-ever observations of living B cells, T cells, and other cells as they interact within lymph nodes and other body tissues.
In addition, scientists are rapidly unraveling the genetic blueprints that direct the human immune response, as well as those that dictate the biology of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The combination of new technology and expanded genetic information will no doubt reveal even more about how the body protects itself from disease.

However court rules, gay marriage debate won't end
By DAVID CRARY
NEW YORK (AP) - However the Supreme Court rules on same-sex marriage, the issue seems certain to divide Americans and the states for years to come.
After considering two cases involving gay couples' rights this week, the justices left open multiple options for rulings expected in June. But they signaled there was no prospect of imposing a 50-state solution at this stage.
With nine states allowing same-sex marriages and other states banning them, that means a longer spell with a patchwork marriage-rights map - and no early end to bruising battles in the courts, legislatures and at the ballot box.
Opponents of same-sex marriage seem resigned to a divided nation where the debate will continue to splinter families, communities, churches.
Supporters of same-sex marriage believe a nationwide victory is inevitable, though perhaps not imminent.
Missouri group rallies in support of gay marriage
The gathering in Jefferson City coincides with the second day of U.S. Supreme Court arguments focused on whether same-sex couples can marry and receive the legal rights and benefits associated with marriage.
Some rally participants in Missouri asserted that it is "immoral" to ban gay marriage, as is the case under the state constitution.
Rally participants also focused on bills that would prohibit discrimination or school bullying based on sexual orientation.
The event was coordinated by Promo, an organization that advocates for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality.
Several Democratic lawmakers attended the event.
Mo. Sen. McCaskill supports gay marriage
The Democratic senator announced her support for gay marriage on her blog. She says churches should never be required to conduct marriages outside their religious beliefs, but she believes "government should not limit the right to marry based on who you love."
McCaskill's announcement comes the same week that the U.S. Supreme Court is to hear a challenge to California's gay-marriage ban.
Missouri voters approved a constitutional amendment in 2004 limiting marriage to a man and a woman.
As recently as last year's Senate campaign, McCaskill said she supported states' rights to decide gay marriage and had no quarrel with Missouri's vote.
President Barack Obama announced his support for gay marriage last year.
Supreme Court - Gay Marriage: Couple reflects
After 13 years of raising four boys together, Kris Perry and Sandy Stier are about to be empty nesters. Their youngest two children will graduate from high school in June and head off to college.
Perry and Stier might also get married, if the high court case goes their way.
They recently talked to The Associated Press about their Supreme Court case. On Tuesday, they plan to be in the courtroom when their lawyer tries to persuade the justices to strike down California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages and to declare that gay couples can marry nationwide.
Influential pediatricians group backs gay marriage
The American Academy of Pediatrics endorsement of same-sex marriage has been published online, citing the belief that a two-parent marriage is best equipped to provide the right environment. Their policy says that if a child has two same-sex parents who choose to marry, it's in everyone's best interests for "legal and social institutions (to) allow and support them."
The policy cites reports indicating that almost 2 million U.S. children are being raised by same-sex parents.
Officials with the group said they wanted to make the academy's views known before two same-sex marriage cases are considered by the U.S. Supreme Court next week.
Republicans Supporting Gay Marriage Write Supreme Court Amicus Brief
One of the signers confirmed for ABC News the existence of the brief signed by the Republicans and said it would be submitted to the United States Supreme Court this week. The deadline to submit briefs is Thursday.
The document, known as an amicus or "friend of the court" brief, is being submitted in support of a lawsuit aiming to strike down Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative that passed in 2008 banning same sex marriage. The existence of the brief was first reported by the New York Times.
Republican elected leadership, like House Speaker John Boehner, as well as the platform, are staunchly against same sex marriage.
The American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), the group who brought the California lawsuit challenging Prop 8, released a list of the signers today including Cheney's daughter Mary Cheney.
Signers included former congresswoman Mary Bono Mack of California, former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman and Meg Whitman, who supported Prop 8 when she ran for governor of California in 2010. Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, Richard Hanna of New York and former GOP national chairman Ken Mehlman also signed. In addition, three former Massachusetts governors -- William Weld, Jane Swift, and Paul Cellucci -- along with former New Jersey governor Christine Todd Whitman are signers. The list also includes Republican attorney and Romney senior adviser Ben Ginsberg and other high profile GOP leaders, strategists, consultants, and staffers.
Some big name supporters of same sex marriage who have not signed the brief include former vice president Dick Cheney, former first lady Laura Bush, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
The fight against Prop 8 already had a big name conservative supporter in Theodore Olson, former solicitor general under President George W. Bush, who is one of the suit's two lead attorneys along with David Boies.
The court will hear arguments next month in the case and another important gay rights case that challenges the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act.
One of the signers is Nicolle Wallace, Republican strategist and former George W. Bush aide and John McCain campaign adviser. Wallace said the beginning of the group took place in 2010 when Republicans supportive of same sex marriage came together to fundraise for the legal effort. But even in 2004 during Bush's re-election campaign working alongside Mary Cheney everyone on the campaign was aware there were disagreeing opinions on the ticket.
"For a long time those of us who sort of have always been on the pro-gay marriage side were quietly aware of others who had this view, but what's tremendous now is I can't think of any issue that has moved with greater speed than this one," said Wallace, who is an ABC News contributor.
She said the "power of the legal argument had a lot more to do with persuading the majority of Republicans on the brief than any political pressure."
Wallace stressed that she believes this issue, unlike others, will not "ignite a civil war in the party" because so many people have gay friends, co-workers, and family members even those who don't agree with their stance have a lot of "respect" for the disagreement.
In the latest ABC News-Washington Post polll on the topic from November a slim majority of Americans support gay marriage 51-47 percent, but amongst Republicans it is only 31-67 percent.
One of the signers, former Utah governor and Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman, Jr. voiced his support of same sex marriage last week, after opposing it during his presidential bid, in an article in the American Conservative titled "Marriage Equality Is a Conservative Cause."
"Conservatives should start to lead again and push their states to join the nine others that allow all their citizens to marry," Huntsman writes. "I've been married for 29 years. My marriage has been the greatest joy of my life. There is nothing conservative about denying other Americans the ability to forge that same relationship with the person they love. All Americans should be treated equally by the law, whether they marry in a church, another religious institution, or a town hall...Civil equality is compatible with, and indeed promotes, freedom of conscience."
Brian Donahue, a Republican strategist who did not sign the brief, believes that because the list includes so many prominent Republicans it represents a "significant step" for the party.
"It's a sign that there is a growing interest in the party to take steps to broaden its reach in defining what's acceptable to be part of this party," Donahue said. "It's healthy for members of the party to express their beliefs and opinions even when they may not be favorable by party leadership. It's healthy for the party to examine how it affects the lives of all Americans and it's a healthy discussion that's taking place within the party to say, 'What do we stand for?'"
Some Republicans fear the amicus brief could badly split the Republican Party. Hogan Gidley, a GOP strategist who has worked on the presidential campaigns of both Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, says the Republican tent should be "very broad," but this move by the group of Republicans will widen the schism in the party.
"I don't want Republicans to be lazy and say, well Latinos are flocking to Democrats in droves so we should do amnesty,'" Gidley said. "The homosexual community is flocking to Democrats in droves so we should legalize gay marriage. The marijuana advocates are flocking to Democrats in droves, we should legalize drugs. To me that is a little bit reactionary, but also a little bit lazy."
Gidley said that he would "hate for anybody to sell their convictions in the hopes they get more votes."
Constitutional law experts say that while amicus briefs do not traditionally decide cases, they can be very influential.
Stanford constitutional law professor Jane Schacter says in this case she believes it could be an "influential brief" because it "telegraphs to the court that there is an increasing number of people who support same sex marriage and that it is no longer a partisan issue to the extent that it was."
"When this number of Republicans are saying it's an issue where there should be equality it changes the way it looks to the justices," Schacter said.
Yale constitutional law professor William Eskridge agreed, but said he believes the brief will not affect "the final vote, the likely affect is the way the opinion looks. Not just the majority opinion, but the dissenting opinion as well."
"It discourages a barnburning hysterical dissent," Eskridge said, noting Chief Justice John Roberts is less likely to sign on to a "barnburning" dissent after this brief.
UPDATE: IL House committee advances gay marriage measure
The State House Executive Committee voted 6-5 late Tuesday to move the measure to the floor, where passage is considered likely.
Advocates say the bill would help eliminate discrimination against children of homosexual couples. But opponents say this measure steps on people's religious freedoms. They argue lawmakers don't have the right to redefine marriage.
The bill was approved by the Senate on Valentine's Day. A House OK would send the matter to Governor Pat Quinn, who says he'll sign it.
IL Latino leaders advocate for gay marriage
In an open letter to lawmakers Sunday, 23 Latino leaders say all families deserve to be treated with respect.
Among those signing the letter are former Chicago City Clerk Miguel Del Valle and Sylvia Puente, executive director of the Latino Policy Forum.
The Illinois Senate approved a bill earlier this month that would end the state's ban on same-sex marriage. A House committee is expected to consider it Tuesday.
If it passes the House Gov. Pat Quinn has said he will sign the legislation, making Illinois the 10th state where same-sex couples may marry.
Opponents say the proposal endangers religious freedom and diminishes the sanctity of marriage.
Illinois Senate passes bill to allow gay marriage
In a 34-21 vote, lawmakers approved a measure to lift a state ban on same-sex marriage. The bill now moves to the House, where Democrats also hold a majority.
The Valentine's Day vote came amid concerns from Republicans that the bill would force religious organizations to allow same-sex marriage ceremonies in their fellowship halls, parish centers or even in their sanctuaries. Bishops in Illinois, led by Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, also have said they oppose the idea as against the "natural order."
Gov. Pat Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, has said he will sign the bill if the House approves it.
Poll shows rising support for gay marriage in Illinois
The poll, taken by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, shows support has grown from 33.6 percent in 2010 to 45.5 percent today.
Democrats hold a supermajority in the Senate and believe they will pass the bill. If approved, it heads to the House. Governor Quinn has also indicated he would sign the bill.

A mold (US / CA) or mould (UK / NZ / CA) is a fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae.[1][2]
Molds are a large and taxonomically diverse number of fungal species where the growth of hyphae results in discoloration and a fuzzy appearance, especially on food.[3] The network of these tubular branching hyphae, called a mycelium, is considered a single organism. The hyphae are generally transparent, so the mycelium appears like very fine, fluffy white threads over the surface. Cross-walls (septa) may delimit connected compartments along the hyphae, each containing one or multiple, genetically identical nuclei. The dusty texture of many molds is caused by profuse numbers of asexual spores (conidia) formed by differentiation at the ends of hyphae. The mode of formation and shape of these spores is traditionally used to classify the mold fungi.[4] Many of these spores are colored, making the fungus much more obvious to the human eye at this stage in its life-cycle. In contrast, fungi that can adopt a single celled growth habit are called yeasts.
Molds are considered to be microbes and do not form a specific taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping, but can be found in the divisions Zygomycota and Ascomycota. In the past, most molds were classified within the Deuteromycota.[5]
Molds cause biodegradation of natural materials, that can be unwanted when it becomes food spoilage or damage to property. They also play important roles in biotechnology and food science in the production of various foods, beverages, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and enzymes. Some diseases of animals and humans can be caused by molds, usually as a result of allergic sensitivity to their spores or caused by toxic compounds produced as molds grow.[1]
There are thousands of known species of molds which have diverse life-styles including saprotrophs, mesophiles, psychrophiles and thermophiles and a very few opportunistic pathogens of humans.[6] They all require moisture for growth and there are some aquatic species. Like all fungi, molds derive energy not through photosynthesis but from the organic matter on which they live, utilising heterotrophy. Typically, molds secrete hydrolytic enzymes, from the hyphal tips. These enzymes degrade complex biopolymers such as starch, cellulose and lignin into simpler substances which can be absorbed by the hyphae. In this way molds play a major role in causing decomposition of organic material, enabling the recycling of nutrients throughout ecosystems. Many molds also synthesise mycotoxins and siderophores which, together with lytic enzymes, inhibit the growth of competing microorganisms. Molds can also grow on stored food for animals and humans, making the food unpalatable or contain toxins and are thus a major source of food losses and illness.[7] Many strategies for food preservation (salting, pickling, jams, bottling, freezing, drying) are to prevent or slow mold growth as well as growth of other microbes.
Molds reproduce through producing very large numbers of small spores,[6] which may contain a single nucleus or be multinucleate. Mold spores can be asexual (the products of mitosis) or sexual (the products of meiosis); many species can produce both types. Mold spores may remain airborne indefinitely, may cling to clothing or fur or may be able to survive extremes of temperature and pressure.
Although molds can grow on dead organic matter everywhere in nature, their presence is visible to the unaided eye only when mold colonies grow. A mold colony does not consist of discrete organisms but of an interconnected network of hyphae called a mycelium. All growth occurs at hyphal tips, with cytoplasm and organelles flowing forwards as the hyphae advance over or through new food sources. Nutrients are absorbed at the hyphal tip. In artificial environments such as buildings, humidity and temperature are often stable enough to foster the growth of mold colonies, commonly seen as a downy or furry coating growing on food or other surfaces.
Few molds can begin growing at temperatures of 4 °C (39 °F) or below, so food is typically refrigerated at this temperature. When conditions do not enable growth to take place, molds may remain alive in a dormant state depending on the species, within a large range of temperatures before they die. The many different mold species vary enormously in their tolerance to temperature and humidity extremes. Certain molds can survive harsh conditions such as the snow-covered soils of Antarctica, refrigeration, highly acidic solvents, anti-bacterial soap and even petroleum products such as jet fuel.[8]:22
Xerophilic molds use the humidity in the air as their only water source; other molds need more moisture.
Common molds[edit]
Food production[edit]
The Kōji (麹 ) molds are a group of Aspergillus species, notably Aspergillus oryzae, and secondarily A. sojae, that have been cultured in eastern Asia for many centuries. They are used to ferment a soybean and wheat mixture to make soybean paste and soy sauce. Koji molds break down the starch in rice, barley, sweet potatoes, etc., a process called saccharification, in the production of sake, shōchū and other distilled spirits. Koji molds are also used in the preparation of Katsuobushi.
Red rice yeast is a product of the mold Monascus purpureus grown on rice, and is common in Asian diets. The yeast contains several compounds collectively known as monacolins, which are known to inhibit cholesterol synthesis.[9] A study has shown that red rice yeast used as a dietary supplement, combined with fish oil and healthy lifestyle changes, may help reduce "bad" cholesterol as effectively as certain commercial statin drugs.[10]
Some sausages, such as salami, use starter cultures[11] in their production, to improve flavour and reduce spoilage during curing.
Other molds that have been used in food production include:
- Fusarium venenatum – quorn
- Geotrichum candidum – cheese
- Neurospora sitophila – oncom
- Penicillium spp. – cheese
- Rhizomucor miehei – rennet for making vegetarian and other cheese
- Rhizopus oligosporus – tempeh
- Ustilago maydis – filling in tortilla-based foods
Pharmaceuticals from molds[edit]
Alexander Fleming's accidental discovery of the antibiotic penicillin involved the mold Penicillium, although the species identity is disputed (Penicillium notatum, Penicillium chrysogenum or Penicillium rubens).[12]
Several of the statin cholesterol-lowering drugs (such as Lovastatin, from Aspergillus terreus) are derived from molds.[13]
Howard Florey, Ernst Chain, Norman Heatley, Edward Abraham and teams of scientists in the UK and USA developed industrial-scale production of penicillin between 1941–45 and arguably started the use of antibiotics in medicine.[12][14]
The immunosuppressant drug cyclosporine, used to suppress the rejection of transplanted organs, is derived from the mold Tolypocladium inflatum.
Health effects[edit]
Molds are ubiquitous in nature, and mold spores are a common component of household and workplace dust. However, when mold spores are present in large quantities, they can present a health hazard to humans, potentially causing allergic reactions and respiratory problems.
Some molds also produce mycotoxins that can pose serious health risks to humans and animals. Some studies claim that exposure to high levels of mycotoxins can lead to neurological problems and in some cases death. Prolonged exposure, e.g. daily home exposure, may be particularly harmful. Research on the health effects of mold has not been conclusive.[15] The term "toxic mold" refers to molds that produce mycotoxins, such as Stachybotrys chartarum, and not to all molds in general.[16]
Mold in the home can usually be found in damp, dark or steamy areas e.g. bathroom or kitchen, cluttered storage areas, recently flooded areas, basement areas, plumbing spaces, areas with poor ventilation and outdoors in humid environments. Symptoms caused by mold allergy are watery, itchy eyes, a chronic cough, headaches or migraines, difficulty breathing, rashes, tiredness, sinus problems, nasal blockage and frequent sneezing.
Molds can also pose a hazard to human and animal health when they are consumed following the growth of certain mold species in stored food. Some species produce toxic secondary metabolites, collectively termed mycotoxins including aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins, trichothecenes, citrinin, and patulin. These toxic properties may be used for the benefit of humans when the toxicity is directed against other organisms; for example, penicillin adversely affects the growth of [17]Gram-positive bacteria, clostridia, certain spirochetes, and certain fungi, that cause disease.
Growth in buildings and homes[edit]
Mold growth in buildings can lead to a variety of health problems. Various practices can be followed to mitigate mold issues in buildings, the most important of which is to reduce moisture levels that can facilitate mold growth.[16] Removal of affected materials after the source of moisture has been reduced and/or eliminated may be necessary for remediation.

Super light pack, no bells or whistels
By JB

About Me Avid Adventurer
Comments about Mountain Hardwear SummitRocket 40 Pack - Black:
Super light pack, with the ability to get even lighter by removing attached compression straps, waist belt, and back pad (converts to bivy ground pad). I have the roll top version 2012, and like the simplicity of that kind of access, but the 2013 has a zipper access that looks pretty sweet as well. The 40L limit, and no exterior pockets help limit unnecessary gear (if you're like me and you always fill the space available). Comfortable to wear, even with the minimalist waist belt and shoulder straps. Use it for trips to the store on my motorcycle as well as a summit bag for Rainier and Mount Blanc.
