A new technology could keep impaired drivers from ever getting behind the wheel.
Brentwood, CA 7/13/2012 06:43 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Can Lasers Treat Cocaine Addiction?
Heroin Goes Mainstream
Mental Health Treatment via Video Game
Despite all the public service announcements, the police checkpoints and the threat of arrest, driving under the influence is still a big problem. Drunk driving continues to be involved in one-third of traffic-related deaths in the US — roughly 11,000 deaths per year.
Technology is coming, though, that could make DUIs just a distant memory. A new alcohol-sensing technology is currently in development and could be required to be installed by all automakers in the future. The technology works by detecting alcohol in a driver's breath or skin using one of two options. Tissue spectrometry employs a laser touchpad to detect alcohol in human tissue, while distant spectrometry uses sniff tests to gauge alcohol levels on a driver's breath.
This latest advance is a big step forward from the current "interlock" system that some states currently require for convicted drunk drivers, which consists of drivers blowing into a tube that determines their blood alcohol level is below the legal limit before allowing the car to start. These devices can easily be circumvented by having another individual blow into the tube, plus they are only installed after someone has already been arrested for driving while intoxicated. This new technology, however, would be installed in all cars, potentially stopping DUIs before they happen.
This potential fix comes at a hefty price, though. Research into alcohol-sensing technology has already cost $10 million in five years, and researchers want $24 million to continue. And not everyone is a fan. The restaurant industry is worried about malfunctions that would mean responsible sober drivers or those who've had a single drink could be left stranded after a night out. Also, it only detects alcohol, so we still have drugged drivers to contend with out there on the open road. Still, the price may be worth it if it saves lives and keeps impaired drivers from ever getting behind the wheel.

PITTSBURGH - The Dodgers used their entire lineup to take over sole possession of first place in the National League West.
Clayton Kershaw won his fourth consecutive start, Matt Kemp drove in three runs and the Dodgers won their fourth consecutive game, 9-3 over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.
Eight Dodgers players scored at least one run and seven had an RBI.
"We're a pretty dangerous ballclub right now," Kemp said.
The Dodgers beat the Pirates 11-0 Tuesday and go for the four-game sweep today. They have scored 30 runs during the four-game winning streak.
Kemp had a two-run double and scored during the Dodgers' three-run fourth against Wandy Rodriguez. Shane Victorino singled and scored in that inning, part of his 3-for-5, two-run game.
Kershaw (11-6) had one of his two singles in the fourth, and he allowed three runs on six hits in eight innings. Kershaw had eight strikeouts and no walks.
"It was a great night," Kershaw said. "Any time you get that many runs, you just try to attack the strike zone and make them beat you. Fortunately, tonight I didn't walk anybody. Yeah, they got some hits, but when you have a 9-2 lead ... you go out there, pound the zone and let your defense work."
The Dodgers have won six of their last seven games, claiming sole possession of the division lead for the first time since July 13.
"Ultimately we want to be in first place Oct. 3, but it's always good to feel like you're in first place and to be in first place," Kershaw said.
The Pirates lost their third consecutive game and their grip on a National League wild-card spot. They hope they didn't lose their second baseman to injury, too.
Neil Walker dislocated the pinky finger on his right hand while attempting to turn a double play during the first inning.
Walker had an X-ray on his finger that was negative and will see a hand specialist this morning.
"I'm pretty confident I can avoid the DL," Walker said. "I had the same injury on a finger on my glove hand in 2009 (in Triple-A), and it healed pretty quickly - though I also tore my PCL at the same time and missed the rest of the season."
Walker fielded Kemp's grounder and tumbled over a sliding Mark Ellis as he was forcing him out at second and in the process of throwing to first. Walker landed awkwardly on his right hand and lay on the ground writhing in pain.
"I was kind of coming at the bag at a weird angle and he kind of clipped my leg," Walker said. "I ended up rolling forward and as soon as I hit the ground I knew what happened. It was bent like a Z and they (the trainers) had to pop it back in."
Andrew McCutchen hit his career-high 24th home run for Pittsburgh, which has lost six of seven.
The Dodgers, who are 6-0 against the Pirates this season, passed both Pittsburgh in the wild-card race and division rival San Francisco in the NL West.
The Dodgers didn't have a home run but tied a season high with 15 hits. Andre Ethier went 3 for 5 with a run and Hanley Ramirez had two hits, a run and an RBI for the Dodgers.
Victorino has a nine-game hitting streak and Kemp has a hit in seven consecutive games.
The Dodgers are 9-3 since Aug. 3.
"We're playing good right now," Kershaw said. "I don't want to say it's perfect - but we're playing pretty good right now."
Gaby Sanchez had two doubles for Pittsburgh, which has lost nine of its last 13 at home and is 3-7 on a season-high 11-game homestand. The Pirates entered the homestand with the best home record in the majors.
Pittsburgh's players held a team meeting 3<MD+,%30,%55,%70>1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>2 hours before first pitch, but it failed to help. The Pirates' combined 17-run margin of defeat the last two games is easily their worst for a two-game stretch this season.
Rodriguez (7-12) remained winless in four starts with the Pirates since being acquired for three prospects in a July 24 trade from Houston. He was charged with five runs on 10hits in 5<MD+,%30,%55,%70>2/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>3 innings, striking out one.
"We were able to tack on runs that were there for us if we were able to put the ball in play," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "And we were able to do that tonight."

27 - 30 Mar 08
Categories:WRC, PWRC
Based:Cordoba-Villa Carlos Paz
Most Recent Winner:Sebastien Loeb (2009)
One of the WRC's most spectacular and demanding events, Rally Argentina is based from the town of Villa Carlos Paz, 35km south of Cordoba and right in the heart of the stunning Cordobese Sierras.
The competitive action takes place in the three valleys of Cordoba province, each of which offers gravel stages of differing character and landscape. The scenery ranges from huge expanses of open plains north of Carlos Paz, to the mountains further west where narrow rocky tracks wind through a dramatic, high altitude landscape that resembles the surface of the moon. In general the stages of Rally Argentina are soft and sandy, with many river crossings, and frequently become rough and rutted on repeat passes. The blend of high speeds and bumpy terrain can make Argentina a car breaker. If that wasn't enough, the high altitude of the stages, just as in Mexico, saps the cars of power as they struggle for breath in the thin air.
Several stages near La Falda have been dropped in favour of ones not used for several years. Organisers have also scrapped the opening stage in Buenos Aires' River Plate soccer stadium which proved a logistical headache in 2007. A shift to the early autumn season means weather conditions are likely to be unpredictable.

All-Star Festivities
All is right in the world of baseball after last night's Home Run Derby. Well maybe not, and you know me, I've always got something stuck in my craw to complain about, that's why you all love me isn't it?
The Game Contestants
What is the point of having a set roster if half the guys are going to pull out with some injury resulting in a replacement being added? I don't know, guess I'm just bitter that Pablo Sandoval didn't make it despite all the late additions. Have I mentioned that bitterness before? Think I have. Gotta tell you though, the additions of Carlos Pena and Nelson Cruz just don't make any sense to me at all.
Pena leads the NL in home runs with 24, but he also is second in the league with 111 Ks while his batting average of .228 is 76th amongst qualifiers. The homers are great, and sure his team did a great job last year making it to the Series, but seriously? Just an awful choice.
Cruz doesn't deserve to be in the All-Star game, and I'll prove that in a second. Still, the man can rip it in BP so he was certainly a welcomed edition to the HR Derby. Why doesn't he deserve to be on the team? Let's compare his work to another AL outfielder who didn't make the game.
Cruz: .263-22-53
Dye: .302-20-55
Dye is clearly ahead. The distance between the two only enlarges when we look deeper.
Cruz: .326 OBP, .539 SLG
Dye: .375 OBP, .567 SLG
Again Dye is ahead, and overall his OPS is .077 points higher. Does anyone really think the 13 stolen base advantage Cruz enjoys overcomes that? Not me, especially when we note that Cruz has hit all of .212 over his last 118 ABs.
Home Run Derby
Don't know if anyone bothered to add it up, but we all know that the AL's foursome in the HR Derby is a bit of a joke. Entering the contest the four, Joe Mauer, Nelson Cruz, Carlos Pena and Brandon Inge, have a total of 407 career home runs. Over in the NL, Albert Pujols has hit 351 just by himself.
Anyone besides me think that Chris Berman and his "back, back, back" call should go all the way back to the bench? Once upon a time it was cute, not it's just annoying.
I wonder how much MLB is selling those special "gold balls" for (the money ball the players were hitting when they got down to their last out)? A quick check of MLB's website shows that they only cost $34.99. You can either buy one of them or take your girlfriend out for a couple of drinks to loosen her up. I know how I would spend my 35 bucks.
What the hell is that yellow/green line that ESPN was using to track the baseball's flight? Is it me or did that bring back nightmares of the NHL's attempt with the glowing red puck a couple years back. Silly me, I thought I was watching a major league baseball event and not playing an interactive video game.
How long should a HR Derby last? Seems to me that 14 hours, or however long it went, is too much.
Erin Andrews is the perfect combination of the blonde bombshell looks, the voice, and the knowledge of the game. It certainly doesn't hurt that she is beautiful, but she knows her stuff. Unfortunately she might need to hire a new wardrobe consultant. What was that bumble bee colored get up she was wearing at the Derby? Not that I really cared mind you.
Having recently been in St. Louis I can speak to the great atmosphere of the park and the interest of the fans who were great. How is it that baseball hasn't had an All-Star game there in 43 years? I'd throw out the word pathetic, but you know what I think about Mr. Selig and his cronies – I'm never really shocked at what they fail to do.
I can't help it. For some reason every time I hear Steve Phillips I come away impressed. I know Mets fans are throwing tomatoes at me right now.
What's the deal with the running foot marker for the balls while in flight? What is this, a video game? Wait, didn't I already make this point? Baseball isn't meant to be "cute" guys, so leave it be.

detrusor urethral dyssynergia
Thor is an almost 6 year old neutered male GSD rescued by us almost 5 years ago off of "death row" from a county kill shelter. He's a gorgeous black and tan, thick coat, with a hint of red-cinnamon coloring. Very affectionate especially for a male.
No health issues to speak of until...warning what follows is long and is correlation not cause and effect. Noticed a slight hitch in his gate in early August. Took him to a well known/respected ortho vet/surgeon who treats our female GSD with (both) hip issues (also a rescue from same death row). Wouldn't you know it...x-rays showed arthritic right hip. Somewhat ironically, I had my right hip replaced in mid August. Mention that because that delayed Thor getting a vetalog injection which has worked well. Injection done on 9/11. A bit before 9/25 noticed very odd rash outbreak on Thor's tummy and inside thigh - basically ONLY where there was little to no hair. No where else. I initially treated with hexadene shampoo, but soon went to vet and treatment was prednisone, rilexine (antibiotic), and Genesis spray. Food allergy suspected though there has been no change from Acana Pacifica, joint supplement, etc for years. Digress back to 5/25 when Thor had a rash outbreak in same general area, but this one seemed to be different than 9/25 outbreak. 9/25 outbreak was just plain weird - pinkish spots muted under skip that "exploded" into firey deep red blotches. Oddly, did not seem all that itchy. Anyway, the 5/25 outbreak was predisone, rilexene, and hexane and was very itchy, but rapid healing though. Have noted to vets that the 5/25 and 9/25 outbreaks were preceded by comfortis (and heartguard) on the 15th of each month. However, same was administered in June, July, and August with no obvious ill effect. On 9/29 - fours days after visiting vey for 9/25 rash outbreak - Thor has trouble urinating. Straining - dribbles only. Off to vet whereupon he is anesthetized, catheterized, and x-rays taken. Nothing mechanical found. He is released an urinates fine until the following Sunday. Of course, Sunday. Off to Emergency 2:00AM Monday morning (same vet hospital complex). Admitted and tested through Wednesday PM. Catheterized at least twice. A variety of (very expensive) tests including a cystourethrogram (essentially dye based imaging) shows no mechanical issues (no stones, good prostate, no tumors, etc) save for a noted slight anomaly in the countour of the urethra midway on the arc between the bladder and penis. Not thought to impede urine flow nor cause of this problem and thought to be, perhaps, injury from neutering. Drug protocol evolved to include diazepam (valium), phoenoxybenzamine (dibenzyline), and prazosin on an initial dosage and time schedule that will probably change. Can't remember, but initially only two of the three were administered with no expected effect. Adding the third med and the vet was able to manually express the bladder which we, the owners, are going to try now here at home. At this point, while I can get the bladder empty (hopefully), it takes almost a half and hour to do so. So, the plan is to adjust meds as necessary and hope that expression improves. And, then, perhaps back off the meds to see if the condition is transient (unlikely) or chronic (likely). Longer term if the condition is chronic would be to evaluate surgical alternatives if the meds do not work (well). And, frankly, these meds have nasty side effects (he's already lethargic and not himself) so I will have little patience for their longer term use. Who knows...did he have a drug interaction/reaction? I know steroids can be nasty. One of the treating vets speculated the second rash might have been - is - auto-immune, but the prednisone thwarts any attempt to diagnose scrapings now. He is now off prednisone and antibiotics and the rash seems to be nearly gone. This one has been persistent - two weeks now. Could be food I suppose. I suppose I'd appreciate any comments including simple well wishes, thoughts and prayers. Thanks, Pete and Linda |

I'm sorry if this is not the right place to post this, but I'm not sure where else it should go.
I've noticed that the ebooks that are in the ebook store do not show up in the listings of the author's other writings (e.g. regular articles, free reprint articles, etc.). It would really help a lot to have them listed. There is a place for ebooks, but I think that was from when there was an old ebook option that was, I believe, free.
When I find an author I like, I really want to see everything they've written, including any ebooks they've written. I just might want to buy one!
It seems that listing them would be beneficial to the readers, and would most definitely be beneficial to the ebook authors. Having the books listed along with their other writings would give them greater exposure and would potentially make the ebook option more profitable.
Thanks for listening!

If/when I can get such a gander and have time to take it, I will...;-) I don't know how much of current compiler design was bent by Intel's original segmented memory model. They had code data stack and extra (or something like that -- but I recall EX,SX,DX, and CX). But then motorola's memory model was flat instead of segmented, and it wasn't until the 386 or 486 or thereabouts before one "could" run an x86 flat and there was too much legacy code about at that point and it never really happened. But way, way long ago -- on IBM mainframes and with cards -- my original and only "real computer science course" was on computer architecture and microprogramming and so on, and IIRC even then the subroutine call ritual was push arguments onto the stack, allocate locals by moving the stack pointer, then dereference both by relative displacement from the stack pointer. C calls by reference in part because a function return simply restores the pointer (de facto losing the locals) and then pops the stack (de facto losing the arguments, although one "can" get them if one is working in assembler and can prevent stack movement in the meantime. rgb > > Perry > -- Robert G.

Posted: Feb 21, 2013 3:27 PM by Jessica Holley - email@example.com
Updated: Feb 21, 2013 6:45 PM
CORPUS CHRISTI - An overnight fire has left one Corpus Christi couple homeless after flames ripped through their home. The fire broke out around 11:30 Wednesday night on the 3700 block of Airline Road.
A once two story home is nothing but charred wood after a fire broke out destroying the entire home. Large flames shot out of the roof and quickly took over the entire home after the roof collapsed. Thursday morning fire crews sifted through layers of debris looking for a cause of the fire, which they now believe was started from a pile of trash near the garage and possibly a cigarette.
Neighbor William Hahn says the commotion woke him and his wife up. "Well the dogs woke me up and they were playing on the bed. I looked out and I saw fire coming out from the over head door," says Hahn.
Fighting the fire posed a challenge for firemen due to the road construction in the area. "My understanding is that they had an issue with water, one of the main issues was access because of the unpaved roads," says Captain James Brown of the Corpus Christi Fire Department.
He says one of the four trucks that responded got stuck in mud created from water running on to the unpaved road. Captain Brown says the resident tried to extinguish the fire on her own before calling 911. And that's something he says never to do.
Both who lived at the home managed to get out unharmed. One of the homeowners told Hahn's wife that it was his dog Blackie who woke him up and alerted the couple about the fire.
The couple is getting assistance from the Red Cross tonight they'll be staying at a hotel.

romsky wrote:Turn Counter is a great idea. I, too, sometimes, lose track of the turn number if I wanted to go back and try to analyze what has happened and what went wrong.
I also would love to see the following features that I think will go handy with Turn Counter:
1) Ability to see opponent's time remaining to complete his/her turn, similarly to what we can see with our turns. A lot of times when trying to go on a bathroom break or something, I almost have to get a watch our to figure out how much time opponent has on their turn to see if I can make it back on time.
2) Ability save or go back to history of purchases/moves/battles. I can see this being useful both in game - in case you missed what your opponent purchased or what he attacked you with or something like it. And after game for after-game review. Export to txt or scv would be ok too, doesn't have to be graphical replay..
3) Ability to stop the clock if all players agree - to take a break. Some games go over beyond expected boundaries and need to be put on 30-60 min break or something.
All great ideas and #1 and #3 sure seem like they would be very easy to do. I second these ideas.

Institution: The Royal Veterinary College
Researchers are key members of academic staff. They are central to the College's status as the leading centre for veterinary research in England, as well as its global aspirations. Beyond this, the College recognises that researchers make many other important contributions, for example in undertaking valuable research support, teaching and supervision duties, and as a vibrant group within the wider RVC community.
Following the launch of the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, the College developed a Concordat Code of Practice and Guide which demonstrates the Colleges commitment to the provision of timely and effective support for Research Staff and their chosen career paths.

Concordat Implementation – gap analysis
Practice No. 1274
Last modified: 21/06/2011 11:40:37
Institution: University of Strathclyde
A UK-wide process enables UK HEIs to gain the European Commission's 'HR Excellence in Research' badge, which acknowledges their alignment with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and Code of Conduct for their Recruitment. The UK process incorporates both the QAA Code of Practice for Research Degree Programmes and the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers to enable institutions that have published Concordat implementation plans to gain the 'HR Excellence in Research' badge. The UK approach includes ongoing national evaluation and benchmarking. This award recognises the positive actions that the University has taken to support the career development of researchers and the actions in place to implement the principles of the Concordat to Support the Development of Researchers.
The document is based on a gap analysis performed in November 2010 which sought to map existing policies and evidence of good practice to the Principles and Clauses of the Concordat. Actions were then identified where further work was required to ensure complete compliance, and responsibilities assigned. Actions highlighted are where new approaches or changes to existing approaches will be developed, identifying how these will happen and setting timescales. These new approaches will then be implemented and reviewed at regular intervals.

Institution: University College London
This is a brief summary of the organisational model that we have adopted in order to work more closely with Schools, Faculties and Departments and 'partner' with them in understanding and providing for the needs of their particular staff in a 'bespoke' way where appropriate. This positions us better to target our resource towards meeting real needs, while striving for enhanced alignment between UCL's research strategy and individual aspirations. This new model also enables us to work more closely in partnership with other key people deployed at a Faculty or Department level, such as Research Facilitators, Research Leaders, HR Consultants, Faculty Managers etc. -
Developing and writing health related research funding applications
Practice No. 1210
Last modified: 17/11/2010 15:41:57
Institution: University of York
Developing research funding applications is a multi-stage process including; refining the question and methods, finding collaborators, identifying appropriate funding sources, knowing what makes a successful application and who to get advice from, costing the bid and writing the application form. This project seeks to address some of these stages. The specific objectives are: 1. To create a series of short video clips/ audio recordings featuring staff from Department of Health Sciences, covering: • Features of successful applications. These will spotlight on senior staff who are panel members for some of the major health research funding bodies. • Staff experiences of applying for external funding. These will contain reflections of staff who have applied for research funding, both successful and unsuccessful. These resources will be stored on the Health Sciences Staff Intranet (on a web page dedicated to the project) with links from both research and teaching related pages. An online survey will give people who access the resource an opportunity to feedback their views on its usefulness. 2. To establish a Learning Set of early to mid career research staff to facilitate the development of skills in writing research funding applications. Early to mid career researchers will present research ideas to the learning set for discussion or commenting on applications in progress. The group would meet once a month and maintain an email list of members that could be contacted for advice when needed. The project team will be supported by two senior members of staff (Karen Bloor and Karen Spilsbury) and has been approved by Head of Department (Professor Christine Godfrey) and Chair of Departmental Research Committee (Professor Nicky Cullum). -

Fixed-term employment in social science research: new directions in the research economy
Practice No. 896
Last modified: 20/10/2009 16:37:01
Institution: University of Oxford
This day conference (13 May 2009) was intended as a contribution to the development of more open and research-informed dialogue about being a contract researcher and carrying out fixed-term research in a range of social science disciplines and in of institutions. In addition, it highlighted the role that social science reserach can play in mapping employment patterns in research and in illuminating the personal, professional and institutional issues surrounding fixed-term employment. It provided a forum to review existing evidence about fixed-term employment in research, from several angles: that of contract researchers themselves, and their career experiences and identities; that of institutions as employers; that of research governance; and that of the disciplines/ fields as a whole. The conference was convened by the Research Staff Forum of the Oxford University's Department of Education, chaired by Dr Alis Oancea, and supported by the Centre for Excellence in Preparing for Academic Practice and by the Social Sciences Division. Speakers included Jacqueline Allen-Collinson (University of Exeter), on occupational identity and the lived experience of undertaking contract research; David Mills (University of Oxford), on the demographic profile of social sciences; Lynn McAlpine (University of Oxford), on the next generation of social scientists; and Zoe Fowler (Independent consultant), on contract researchers, career development, and capacity building. Iain Cameron (Head of Careers, RCUK), Rebecca Nestor (Associate Director, Oxford Learning Institute), Matthew Smart (Divisional Officer, Oxford University Social Sciences Division), Justin Hutchence (University of Reading), and Elizabeth Oliver (University of Liverpool) acted as discussants. The conference was attended by key representatives of Oxford University and of other UK universities, including decision-makers and academic and support staff. In August 2009, the British Educational Research Association published a thematic issue of its newsletter, "Research Intelligence", which summarised the proceedings of the conference.

Album Rating: 4.5Been out of the loop for a while with exams 'n stuff, any improvements I'd be happy to know. Album can be found here http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/album/At+Dusk+And+Forever/4562891
well written review, pos. i know the band by name, but never listened to their music. There are many metal bands who time forgot, bands that deserved to go onto greater things but fell at the critical last hurdle so true
Album Rating: 4.5Thanks man. This is great stuff
Album Rating: 3.5so catchy
Album Rating: 3.5pretty sure this album does have keyboards though. or what instrument is it on forever beach and the last half of always?
Album Rating: 4.5Man, the mix was so poor on the version I listened to, I had trouble telling. If it is keyboards, they don't overbear the sound unlike on COB and In Flames albums, and it sounds more like synths or some funky electro effect
Good review, Last.fm has been recommending these guys for a while for me, so I guess I need to finally give them a go.
Album Rating: 4.5It was actually you HSThomas who made me check this out, so my thanks go to you
good melodeath = oxymoron lolololol
Seriously do Metalstyles, this album is just so good. Forever Beach is beautiful. I have Dawn of Flames on CD as well but this is so hard to get these days.I'll definitely remember this and will aquire the album the next time I go on a melodeath binge/get into a melodeath mood.

Good job, looks cool. I hate all but a very few melodeath albums, but this might just be my cup of tea.Digging: The Future Sound of London - Dead Cities
