Watch Blood+
Saya Otnoashi was living the life of an ordinary schoolgirl in Okinawa, despite suffering from severe amnesia covering most of her childhood years. This all changed when she got a glimpse into the secret world that lay buried in her lost memories. A Chiropteran, a bat-like monster, appears and attacks Saya at her school one evening. As Saya tries to flee from the Chiropteran, a mysterious man named Hagi appears and helps her hold off the monster, ultimately convincing her to fight the fearsome figure with a sword lined with her own blood. She is surprised to find that her blood is able to crystallize and kill the beast. After the fight, seemingly impossible memories from a life decades ago come to light.
From this point on, the series focuses on the fight against the growing Chiropteran threat. Saya is forced to leave her past life behind, as she is inducted back into Red Shield, a secret organization dedicated to assisting her in a war that she has been fighting for centuries. Hagi resumes his role as Saya's bodyguard and assistant, and Saya's adopted brothers, Kai and Riku, join in the fight and provide morale support for Saya as she tries to regain her powers. Red Shield members, such as David, Lewis and Julia, also provide direct support and carry out their own operations during the series. Saya will need all of their help, since her overwhelming power threatens to break her sanity.
The Chiropterans are also not just mindless beasts. Intelligent Chiropterans, known as Chevalier, prove to be mighty foes as the series advances, and the sinister Cinque Flesh company carry out their own conspiracy tied to a mysterious figure known only as Diva. Worst of all, a third party, the Schiff, join the fray and fight against both sides.
Viewers should expect to see a fairly steady mix of intense and violent action, including fairly dark set pieces as early as the first episode, along with slowly paced investigation and character building episodes.

80/35 speculation: Sarah McLachlan
Published on March 4th, 2014 | by Joe Lawler
I don't know that she's a perfect fit for the festival, but I suspect that in a ven diagram of 80/35 and Sarah McLachlan fans there would be a fair amount of overlap.
I mention it because McLaughlan announced her national summer festival yesterday and she has a July 3 show in Kansas City, an open date on July 4 and a July 5 performance in Chicago. That means she's probably driving through Des Moines on July 4 anyway. Could she stop? I don't know, this is all speculation.
My hope is that her stage show is just videos of sad-looking dogs. No, I'm not crying, I just have something in my eye.

KINGSTON ŌĆō WeŌĆÖre living in the golden age of surveillance.
Or at least thatŌĆÖs the opinion of Bruce Schneier, an author and fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School. Schneier is often touted as the ŌĆ£guru of computer security.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs surprising, itŌĆÖs incidental, itŌĆÖs largely a side effect of having computers so pervasive in our lives and in our environment,ŌĆØ Schneier told attendees at the University of Rhode IslandŌĆÖs Honors Colloquium Tuesday night.
NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō During the Monday evening town council meeting, council members received a briefing on the status of the new salt shed recently erected by the state Department of Transportation (DOT) off Route 1 by Community Development Director Michael DeLuca. DeLuca, recognizing that many residents were surprised by the suddenly erected structure, explained the background of how it came about.
For more of this story pick up a copy of The Narragansett Times.
NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō A Subcommittee of the Ad Hoc Committee on Student Rental Problems convened on Monday evening to discuss a town ordinance on the number of unrelated relatives living in a single household in Narragansett. The committee recently divided into subcommittees to address particular issues in the URI student rental problem situation.
In numerous other cities and towns around the country, the code of ordinances dictates that no more than three unrelated individuals may reside in the same single family home, but NarragansettŌĆÖs ordinance on the matter is not as clean cut.
NORTH KINGSTOWN - A ŌĆ£town hallŌĆØ style meeting in protest of RhodeMap RI, a controversial economic development and land use plan for Rhode Island that will be voted on Dec. 11, brought more than 100 people to the Carriage Inn and Saloon on Monday night.
NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō A Narragansett man involved in a 3-car crash on Thanksgiving night in North Kingstown has died. The victim was identified as Cranston Adult Correctional Officer Jeffrey Golding, 41. Golding, the only passenger in the vehicle, was transported to Rhode Island Hospital where he died from injuries sustained during the crash the next morning.
NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō The Narragansett Town Council voted on Monday evening to approve the bond issuance of $1,800,000 for the proposed Community Athletic Complex. Finance Director Laura Kenyon explained the details of the long-term financing for the project, including in her discussion the proposed amendments to the Public Safety Complex and bond issuance of an additional $2,000,000.
JAMESTOWNŌĆöLast Thursday evening, the Jamestown School Committee unanimously voted to give high school students the option to attend Narragansett High School, beginning in September 2015. The decision comes after a long discussion between the two school districts, one which Jamestown School Committee Chair Cathy Kaiser has said does not affect the townŌĆÖs relationship with North Kingstown, where high school-age students from Conanicut Island currently attend public school.

Emulator Hangs with "Error: Storage paths not specified."
Hi Everybody!
I'm just trying to run one of the applications ZXing under the emulator but it seems something does not work.
I think it's something related zayit program or library but I'm unable to identify what's the problem. The emulator crashes just before running the app and after everything is initialized.
The actual error is:
Error: Storage paths not specified.
And the last logs lines are:

so it can use filesystem.
So the question is. How can I get this to work?
I have to say that I managed run the program with the normal j2me toolkit from sun perfectly.
But wanted to try it out with evey SonyEricsson phone and new features. Ex. capuccin
Thank you very much!
Best regards.
Hey you are using linux... Way to go!!
Have you set your storage path in the WTK project setting?
go to the "Edit" menu and select "Preferences..". A dialog box will
come up and there is a tree selector on the left. Click on "Storage"
and the form that will appear to the right will have a field "Storage root directory:"
Fill that in to be the path location you know is there.
Most likely you have some permissions on the path that is confusing the Emulator,
or there is no default and it can't figure out where to put it.
Hope that helps.

No doubt you already have a long list of dates—birth dates, wedding anniversaries, and the like—to remember. And no doubt you already have a long list of terms, abbreviations, and acronyms that you must store in your brain, as well.
Well, if you're in or approaching retirement, we'd like to add to those lists. Below, according to our experts, are some of most important dates as well as terms, abbreviations, and acronyms you must never ever forget. If you do, it could cost you.
Terms of endearment?
RBD: The required beginning date (RBD) is the deadline by which your first required minimum distribution must be withdrawn from your retirement account, according to Denise Appleby, the CEO of Appleby Retirement Consulting.
Big tax bills can devastate your retirement savings. MarketWatch's Robert Powell and Andrea Coombes talk about strategies to employ before and during retirement to lower your taxes.
Check out the new
MarketWatch Retirement
RetireMentors: In-the-trenches advice
Ways to boost Social Security payout
Retire here, not there: California
10 things your 401(k) plan won't tell you
Generally, your RBD is April 1 of the year that follows the year in which you reach age 70½. "However, this can be extended later for non-IRA retirement accounts, if you are still working for the employer that offers the plan under which you hold your account," she said. "However, don't assume that your employer offers this extension, as they are not required to do so. Check with them to be sure."
Jim Blankenship of Blankenship Financial Planning amplified this point by noting that the RBD could be the year after you leave employment for 401(k) and 403(b) plans for non-owner employees over age 70½.
RMD: Your required minimum distribution, or RMD, is the minimum amount that you must withdraw from your retirement account for the year that you reach age 70 ½ and every year after during your lifetime, said Appleby. "You can always withdraw more than your RMD," she said. "But, if you withdraw less, you may owe the IRS a 50% excess accumulation penalty on the shortfall."
Note: If you have an inherited IRA, you must also take an RMD.
Blankenship, for his part, also noted that RMD begins with the year you reach age 70½ for IRAs and 401(k)/403(b) plans. If, however, the employee is still working after age 70½ and does not own greater than 5% of the company, RMD doesn't start until the year after retirement for any plans at that employer, he added.
FRA: Full retirement age is the age at which a person may first become entitled to full or unreduced retirement benefits, according to the Social Security Administration. "If your full retirement age is older than 65 (that is, you were born after 1937), you still will be able to take your benefits at age 62, but the reduction in your benefit amount will be greater than it is for people retiring now. Learn more at Retirement Planner: Full Retirement Age.
Blankenship noted that FRA could be age 66 to 67 depending on your year of birth.
According to Mike Piper, a CPA based in St. Louis and ObliviousInvestor.com blogger, FRA is also the point at which you can either "file and suspend," (thereby allowing your spouse to claim spousal benefits based on your work record, or file a "restricted application" for just spousal benefits while allowing your own retirement benefit to grow until 70. Read Social Security claiming tricks to maximize payout.
One for the ages
Age 55: If you separate from service in the year you reach age 55 or later, distributions from that employer's 401(k) or 403(b) after you separate from service won't be subject to the 10% penalty, said Piper.
Others agree. "A 401(k) or 403(b) participant who leaves service at or after this age can begin taking withdrawals without penalty, as long as the withdrawals are from the 401(k) or 403(b) plan, not from an IRA," said Blankenship.
If you're age 55 and you're dealing with a 401(k), Barry Picker of Picker & Auerbach, CPAs, noted this: "If you separate from service in the year of your 55th birthday or later, you can tap into your 401(k) plan prior to age 59½ without the 10% penalty. However, if you roll the 401(k) into an IRA you lose this benefit and you have to wait until age 59½."

Serving Size:ÿÿ One vegetarian capsule Servings Per Container:ÿÿ90
Other Ingredients: Vegetable cellulose. **Tegricel product does contain lactose. It contains roughly around 9-9.5% lactose which per capsule (about 52-55 mg). This small amount is not removed because it would require the potential denaturazation of the active compounds. If someone is extremely lactose intolerant they may have an issue but in most cases we have not seen this to be a problem.
What Makes Tegricel? Colostrum Different All Tegricel? Colostrum comes from cattle raised in the United States of America and is produced from healthy, nutritionally-supplemented cows on USDA and FDA certified dairy farms. These cattle are carefully fed a scientifically-designed diet that contains the proper balance of legumes and grasses along with minerals and trace minerals to ensure consistently high potency colostrum.
Colostrum has been shown in studies to:
HPLC High Performance Liquid Chromotography is a technique used in biotechnological research as well as for the pharmaceutical and nutriceutical industry. Modern HPLC has many applications including separation, identification, purification, and quantification of various compounds. HPLC is used to perform the optimum analysis of compounds in each batch of colostrum to ensure efficacy.
RPF?Repair And Protection Factor A novel (patent pending) analytical method that allows for the evaluation of a product's bioactive properties as it relates to the repair of damaged cells and the protection of healthy cells.
Tegricel? has an RPF Score greater than 3 times the leading New Zealand colostrum supplier and has an RPF Score greater than 2 times that of other leading colostrum products from Australia.

Move home to avoid being hit by 'bedroom tax', warns CAB
Posted: November 23, 2012|
FAMILIES who stand to lose out when the Government's new 'bedroom tax' comes into force are being advised to consider moving home.
From April, people in receipt of housing benefits who have more bedrooms than are needed at the address will receive a reduced payment.
For those people with a spare bedroom, the housing benefits payment will automatically be reduced by 14% of the rent payable on the property. And those with two or more spare bedrooms will see a reduction of 25%.
This will mean residents will have to make up the shortfall in rent themselves.

The only people who will not be impacted by the changes are those that live in a one-bed apartment or bedsit, or those of the age to claim pension credits.
South Derbyshire District Council has announced it will shortly be writing to all of those households affected by these new changes, while other local authorities are set to follow suit.
Among the organisations worried about the changes is the South Derbyshire Citizens Advice Bureau.
It says those affected by the imminent changes need to consider their options now.
Its chief executive, Jackie Spencer, said families could be left with no choice but to move house.
She said: "These new changes could plummet those affected into rent arrears through no fault of their own. These changes are significant and people need to start exploring new options now and not leave it until April."
Ms Spencer said families could consider moving to a "appropriately-sized" property, identify savings that could cover any shortfall in their housing benefit or reduce their outgoings.
She said anyone seeking help should contact their local Citizens Advice Bureau.
The Department for Work and Pensions said the reforms would ensure that people on benefits could no longer live in homes that most working families cannot afford – while providing transitional support for those in the most difficult situations.
A spokeswoman said: "Even with our reforms, housing benefit will meet rents of up to £21,000 a year and, apart from the most expensive areas in London, around a third of properties will still be available to rent.
"Our reforms restore fairness to a system that was left to spiral out of control."
To make an appointment with South Derbyshire Citizens Advice Bureau, call 01283 210 109. Opening hours are Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 10am-3pm.GOVERNMENT NEED TO HELP EASE HOUSING CRISIS
DERWENT Living has called on the Government to collaborate with housing providers to help ease the housing crisis in the East Midlands.
A report from the National Housing Federation found that there is a 50% shortfall in the number of new homes required in the East Midlands, leaving thousands of people on housing waiting lists.
The report also forecasts a 67% rise in private rental prices over the next decade, following a 16% increase in social housing waiting lists since 2002.
Derwent Living chief executive Peter McCormack said: "The housing shortage on both a local and national level is increasing every year.
"More than 116,000 households are on the waiting list in the East Midlands and homelessness has risen by 25% in the last two years.
"People often find themselves priced out of buying and private renting, meaning that turning to affordable housing is their only option.
"The Government and local politicians need to work with providers in our industry before the situation worsens."

Chicago cop charged after trying to pin blame for collision on injured cyclist
Prosecutors say off-duty officer responsible for hitting female victim with his pick-up truck and filing false police report
Previous News
Next News
A Chicago police officer has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving injuries and disorderly conduct for filing a false police report after allegedly hitting a cyclist with his pick-up truck then attempting to blame her for causing the collision.
Michael Bergeson, aged 33, was off duty at the time of the incident, which took place at 3.25am on the morning of 3 August at the corner of California Avenue and Wabansia Avenue in the city's Humboldt Park district, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.
Prosecutors say that he hit the unnamed female victim, riding with her boyfriend, with his truck, sending her flying over the bonnet and suffering a head wound. She spent two days in hospital due to abrasions, fractured bones in her foot and multiple facial injuries. Immediately after the incident, she was said to be drifting in and out of consciousness.
They also maintain that Bergeson got out of the truck and, without identifying himself, called the 911 emergency number and said: "female down, reason unknown, appears to be conscious." He rang 911 again two minutes later and said: "Possible AA female injured."
According to prosecutors, when an ambulance arrived at the scene three minutes later, Bergeson got into his vehicle and, after driving round the injured cyclist, collided with two parked cars, which caused his license plate to fall off his truck.
The license plate left at the scene led to police visiting Bergeson's home later that day but no-one answered the door and there was no sign of the pick-up truck. Two days later, he filed a police report alleging that the victim had ridden her bike through a stop sign and collided with his vehicle.
He also said that she had been responsible for his license plate falling off his truck, although prosecutors insist that medical and forensic records prove that the incident was his fault.
Bergeson, who joined the Chicago police department in 2003, was ordered to be held in custody in place of $25,000 bail.
What a complete scumbag. Probably pissed up as well which is why he got out of there.

Lunchtime 5Ks return, this time with obstacles
The lunchtime 5K runs that fell victim to the same funding shortage that forced the cancellation of the air show, the surf contest and the Battle of Commands returned to the base Thursday, July 18.
A second one is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 15, at Family Beach at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu, and a third one is set for Thursday, Sept. 19, at the Beehive Gym at NBVC Port Hueneme.
Registration for each race starts at 11 a.m., with the actual run starting at 11:30 a.m.
The runs are put on by Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR).
"MWR Athletics is pleased to offer the Summer 5K Series in place of previously canceled 5K events," said MWR Marketing Director Dan Alpern. "These events have been rescheduled thanks to creative planning by the command, our community support director and MWR on behalf of our troops and their families."
That doesn't mean all obstacles are gone — in fact, several were added, literally.
Fred Morgan, athletic director for MWR, suggested the addition of an optional obstacle course at the end of the July 18 race, and of the 27 who signed up for the run, 10 decided to do the obstacle course as well.
Set up on the track next to the Beehive Gym, the course required participants to flip a tire 10 yards, crawl through hurdles, hop over hurdles and complete a par course that included push-ups and chin-ups.
"It's a good workout," said Construction Mechanic 2nd Class Pedro Cenaperez of Naval Construction Group 1, sweating and trying to catch his breath after finishing the course.
Paul Van Zuyle, an information technician specialist with Naval Facilities Engineering Command Information Technology Center, crossed the finish line first, then tackled the obstacle course, which he also finished first. His overall time was 24 minutes, 32 seconds.
The last-place finisher was Construction Mechanic 2nd Class Gus Cardona of Naval Construction Group 1. He finished the run and obstacle course in 37 minutes, 4 seconds — carrying a 45-pound weight on his back the entire time.
"Exhausted?" he was asked after he finished his chin-ups.
"A little bit," he replied, a smile breaking through the sweat.

Can North Carolina Be a Tipping Point State?
June 21, 2012
In 2008, Obama won North Carolina by less than 1 percent while winning by 7 percent nationally. After four years, Obama's big national lead has vanished, but Obama and Romney are spending away in the populous and diverse mid-Atlantic state. According to the Washington Post's ad-tracker, the two campaigns spent $1.7 million in North Carolina last week, similar to the other big battleground states like Florida ($1.8m), Ohio ($1.9m), and Virginia ($1.5m).
Why Isn't Romney Competing in Minnesota?
June 19, 2012
With ad spending increasing each week, it's clear by now what the battleground states are—and it's clear that Minnesota isn't one of them. It may not be surprising that neither campaign has aired ads in the North Star State, as Minnesota is perhaps best known in politics as the state with the longest consecutive streak of voting for Democratic presidential candidates, having last voted Republican in 1972.
The Diversity of the White Working Class
June 19, 2012
Are Republicans increasingly becoming the party of the white working class? So says Jonathan Haidt, but political scientist Larry Bartels offers up a convincing response: While the white working class has trended toward Republicans over the last few decades, the movement is exclusively a Southern phenomenon.

Will Obama Regret His Decision Not to Buy Ads in Michigan?
June 14, 2012
With the financial balance of power shifting toward the Republicans, Democrats are understandably alarmed that a deluge of cash from outside groups and Wall Street could swamp Obama's reelection efforts. As an initial step, the Obama campaign has concentrated their expenditures on a smaller number of swing states, ensuring that they at least remain competitive in the markets they consider most important. But when you concentrate resources, some areas end up short-changed, and the decision to narrow the playing field has left Obama without substantial purchases in several media markets.
A Message for New Health Professionals—and a Mission
June 13, 2012
Last month, I had the privilege of speaking at commencement exercises for the health professional schools at Nova Southeastern University. It was a homecoming of sorts: I spent most of my childhood in South Florida, about fifteen miles from the campus. But a lot has changed. When I left in the late 1980s, the sports/concert arena where I spoke did not exist. Neither did the hockey team that plays there. As for NSU, I remember it as a small, relatively obscure school, with maybe a few thousand students overall and no significant presence in health care.
What Democrats Really Should Be Worried About
June 07, 2012
I've spent too much of the past week trying to rein in Beltway overreaction, adding in the context necessary to keep my fellow '12 correspondents from spinning off into the ether. No, Barack Obama did not accuse the Polish people of genocide. No, Bill Clinton's wandering off the rhetorical reservation is not particularly newsworthy. No, Scott Walker's win in Wisconsin does not necessarily spell doom for the Democrats. But I'll abandon that scolding, buzz-killing mode this afternoon to pour some fuel on the latest news of the day—the Republicans' big fundraising haul.
Electionate Live-Blogs the Wisconsin Recall
June 05, 2012
Wisconsin by the Numbers Scott Walker cruised to a 53-46 win in the Wisconsin Gubernatorial Recall, stunning Democrats expecting a tight race after early exit polls. Walker's victory was built on a GOP-friendly electorate, even whiter, older, richer, and less Democratic than the 2010 midterms, let alone 2008. Seniors represented 18% of the electorate, up from 16% in 2010 and 14% in 2008. The non-white share of the electorate fell from 11% in 2008 to 10% in 2010, to 9% in 2012. 20% of voters made more than $100,000/year, up from 16% in 2010 and 19% in 2008.
Five Takeaways From the 2012 Primary Season
June 04, 2012
Now that Mitt Romney is officially the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and we have some distance from the primaries that decided it all, it's time to consider the lessons. Otherwise, poor memories, shaky analysis and self-serving spin will combine to congeal a conventional "wisdom" that is anything but. As someone who obsessively chronicled every twist and turn of this very odd nomination contest for TNR, here are my five top takeaways: 1. Mitt Romney is a very lucky man.
Romney Has a New Michigan Problem: His Own Party
May 30, 2012
You have to feel sorry for leaders of the Michigan Republican Party: They have a tough job this year. They want to promote Rick Snyder, the Republican governor. The obvious, easy way to do that is to highlight the state's economic record. Since Snyder took over as governor in 2010, Michigan's unemployment rate has fallen steadily to 8.3 percent, which is only slightly higher than the national average. (See graph below.) That's pretty remarkable, given the state's well-chronicled troubles. But nobody seriously believes Snyder's policies have a lot to do with the Michigan's recovery.

Library in need of repairs
Yes the electronic books are super expensive for libraries, but a lot of people would rather read on their kindle, nook or whatever ( Not me personally). A lot of people would be more likely to help the library system out if they could get a book electronically with out the long wait times on paper books, I've been waiting on one book for months now and I am considering just buying it. I also think that costs could be cut by using local companies to do the repairs and community volunteers. The costs DO NOT need to be cut by getting rid of things in the library, like the children's desk where they would stamp my little ones hand for following the rules while she was in there. (We miss it!)

IPSWICH, S.D. (AP) – Residents of the northeastern South Dakota town of Ipswich are using a mobile post office while the permanent building is fixed.
KELO-TV reports that the regular post office was closed because of a leaking roof and other damage.
For a while, people in the area had to make a 50-mile round trip to Aberdeen to get their mail. About two weeks ago, the U.S. Postal Service brought a mobile post office on wheels to Ipswich.
The Postal Service says it's working with its landlord to get the regular post office fixed. It's also looking at using another building in town on a temporary basis until the regular post office is fixed.
Resident Del Sanborn says the mobile post office is better than driving to Aberdeen.

Eliminating human parasitic disease often requires interrupting complex transmission pathways. Even when drugs to treat people are available, disease control can be difficult if the parasite can persist in nonhuman hosts. Here, we show that restoration of a natural predator of a parasite's intermediate hosts may enhance drug-based schistosomiasis control. Our study site was the Senegal River Basin, where villagers suffered a massive outbreak and persistent epidemic after the 1986 completion of the Diama Dam. The dam blocked the annual migration of native river prawns (Macrobrachium vollenhoveni) that are voracious predators of the snail intermediate hosts for schistosomiasis. We tested schistosomiasis control by reintroduced river prawns in a before-after-control-impact field experiment that tracked parasitism in snails and people at two matched villages after prawns were stocked at one village's river access point. The abundance of infected snails was 80% lower at that village, presumably because prawn predation reduced the abundance and average life span of latently infected snails. As expected from a reduction in infected snails, human schistosomiasis prevalence was 18 ± 5% lower and egg burden was 50 ± 8% lower at the prawn-stocking village compared with the control village. In a mathematical model of the system, stocking prawns, coupled with infrequent mass drug treatment, eliminates schistosomiasis from high-transmission sites. We conclude that restoring river prawns could be a novel contribution to controlling, or eliminating, schistosomiasis.

Early malacological literature suggests that the outbreak of schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease transmitted by aquatic snails, in the Senegal River basin occurred due to ecological changes resulting from the construction of the Diama dam. The common treatment, the drug praziquantel, does not protect from the high risk of re-infection due to human contact with infested water on a daily basis. The construction of the dam interfered with the life cycle of the prawn Macrobrachium vollenhovenii by blocking its access to breeding grounds in the estuary. These prawns were demonstrated to be potential biological control agents, being effective predators of Schistosoma-susceptible snails. Here, we propose a responsible restocking strategy using all-male prawn populations which could provide sustainable disease control. Male prawns reach a larger size and have a lower tendency to migrate than females. We, therefore, expect that periodic restocking of all-male juveniles will decrease the prevalence of schistosomiasis and increase villagers' welfare. In this interdisciplinary study, we examined current prawn abundance along the river basin, complemented with a retrospective questionnaire completed by local fishermen. We revealed the current absence of prawns upriver and thus demonstrated the need for restocking. Since male prawns are suggested to be preferable for bio-control, we laid the molecular foundation for production of all-male M. vollenhovenii through a complete sequencing of the insulin-like androgenic gland-encoding gene (IAG), which is responsible for sexual differentiation in crustaceans. We also conducted bioinformatics and immunohistochemistry analyses to demonstrate the similarity of this sequence to the IAG of another Macrobrachium species in which neo-females are produced and their progeny are 100% males. At least 100 million people at risk of schistosomiasis are residents of areas that experienced water management manipulations. Our suggested non-breeding sustainable model of control-if proven successful-could prevent re-infections and thus prove useful throughout the world.

Human schistosomiasis is a common parasitic disease endemic in many tropical and subtropical countries. One barrier to achieving long-term control of this disease has been re-infection of treated patients when they swim, bathe, or wade in surface fresh water infested with snails that harbor and release larval parasites. Because some snail species are obligate intermediate hosts of schistosome parasites, removing snails may reduce parasitic larvae in the water, reducing re-infection risk. Here, we evaluate the potential for snail control by predatory freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium rosenbergii and M. vollenhovenii, native to Asia and Africa, respectively. Both prawn species are high value, protein-rich human food commodities, suggesting their cultivation may be beneficial in resource-poor settings where few other disease control options exist. In a series of predation trials in laboratory aquaria, we found both species to be voracious predators of schistosome-susceptible snails, hatchlings, and eggs, even in the presence of alternative food, with sustained average consumption rates of 12% of their body weight per day. Prawns showed a weak preference for Bulinus truncatus over Biomphalaria glabrata snails. Consumption rates were highly predictable based on the ratio of prawn: snail body mass, suggesting satiation-limited predation. Even the smallest prawns tested (0.5-2g) caused snail recruitment failure, despite high snail fecundity. With the World Health Organization turning attention toward schistosomiasis elimination, native prawn cultivation may be a viable snail control strategy that offers a win-win for public health and economic development.

*Now in on limited vinyl* There's a very literal reason for the title of Nils Frahm's new album, Felt. He wanted to play the piano during the dead of night, without disturbing his neighbours, so he layed thick felt in front of its strings to muffle the sound. Rather than being frustrated, he unexpectedly found himself enchanted by this dampened sound, and it opened up new compositional as well as playing possibilities for his inquisitive mind. The resulting work is varied in style but it all has a close, confessional, nocturnal quality that's beautifully wrought and expertly recorded: from the Reich-a-like layered arpeggios of 'Keep' and 'More', to the wistful, jazz-tinted Glassisms of 'Familiar', there are plenty of grand harmonic gestures, but these are nicely
interspersed with, and balanced by, eerie ambiences like 'Pause' and 'Less'. Really lovely music for the arriving Autumn days, and recommended for fans of Machinefabriek, Isan and other masters of subtly romantic electro-acoustic sonorities.

Title: So Many Choices - Auditor, Day One

So Many Choices: A workshop for trainers and dogs Dog training is an activity designed to elicit, modify and control the behaviors of dogs. It requires cognitive skill as well as physical skill and it obliges trainers to make seemingly endless choices about methods, tools and priorities. From the initial choice of how to "get" the desired dog-behavior to occur, to later decisions about how to integrate the learned behavior into the dog's repertoire and daily life, the trainer must consider practicality, expediency and the dog's emotional welfare. We trainers aspire to make the best choices possible. And so we continue to educate ourselves, by studying the science, by watching great trainers in action, by brainstorming ideas and then trying them out with our own dogs, and by discussing concepts with our colleagues. This workshop will include all these activities. We'll combine lecture segments about the practical application of SMART (See, Mark and Reward Training) with plenty of dog-training exercises, demonstrations, games and time for questions. Think of this workshop as a chance to participate in a two-day "trainers' think tank." Saturday Lecture: Ways to get behavior Game: Exploring various ways to get behavior Training: Make a plan for novel behavior 1 Lecture: SMART review Training: Begin training novel behavior 1 Lecture: Reinforce Game: What's on the menu? Lecture & discussion: +R options Training: Continue training novel behavior 1 Lecture: Preserving reinforcers & punishers Demos

Scheduling a colonoscopy could be a life saver
Colonoscopy suggested for over-50 or at-risk
Abilene physician Mark Rubin said that there is more awareness about the need for scheduled colonoscopies, and noted that more people are being screened than in the past.
But "the prevalence of this disease (colon cancer) is rising," he said, despite more screening, meaning that while the trend is positive, it's still not enough.
"As you get older you have a higher risk for developing polyps," he said, fleshy growths on the inside of the colon or rectum that can — in time — become cancerous.
"Usually, it's a 10-year time span for a polyp to become malignant," he said, with the risk adjusted by one's age and ethnicity. African-Americans, for example, have a higher and earlier incidence of colorectal polyps and cancer.
A colonoscopy, according to the National Institutes of Health, is an exam that allows your physician to view the inside of the colon (large intestine) and rectum.
Rubin, who himself has had three colonoscopies, said it is the most effective screening tool available — noting that he's seen colon cancer in people as young as their late 20s and early 30s.
The preparation for the procedure, in which the system is cleared out so that physicians can get the best look possible, is generally considered the "worst part of the deal," he said.
According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, the process, called a bowel prep, requires all solids to be emptied from the gastrointestinal tract, with special instructions on diet (clear liquid, no beverages with red or purple dyes).
A laxative or enema may be required the night before the colonoscopy.
Once the test is under way, anesthetic is usually available, Rubin said.
The drug propofol is commonly used, allowing the patient to attain a deep level of anesthesia without intubation.
The whole procedure usually lasts an hour or less, depending on how cleared-out the patient's system is and other unforeseen wrinkles, such as angles particular to an individual patient's colon.
"If you see something abnormal you can remove the polyp then and there, or if there were a cancer, you could biopsy it and make preparations on how you would treat it," Rubin said.
Colon cancer can be asymptomatic, he said, though a variety of symptoms can manifest, including unexplained weakness and fatigue, anemia (especially iron-deficiency anemia), change in bowel habits, narrow stools, bleeding and pain in the anal area, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc.
The average age many recommend getting a colonoscopy is 50, though Rubin said he recommends many people, especially those with risk factors, family history or other concerns, get one at a younger age.
"I truly believe it should be 40," he said of the age of one's first colonoscopy, with follow-ups every five years beyond that.
If a cancer is detected, "you want to get it out in a timely fashion," he said, though everyone's tumor biology is somewhat different.
Patient resistance often plays a major role in people choosing not to be screened, he said, as do economic factors for some.
"And some people just flat-out say: I don't want a scope," he said. "They're fearful of it. But it's not that bad. You wake up and feel like it just took five minutes."
Susan's Story
In May 2009, Susan Keeling, 67, was "prancing into the doctor's office," in her words, to have her regularly-scheduled colonoscopy.
"I had a little colon surgery probably 25 years ago," she said. "There was no problem, no malignancy or anything."
But the procedure required her to have colonoscopies throughout the years, and Keeling had finally "graduated," she said, to waiting every five years to have the test.
"It was my first time to wait (that long)," she said.
The news afterward — a malignant tumor — was not what she was expecting, she said.
"It was quite a shock," she said. "I thought that this can't really be, because I feel just perfectly fine."
After taking her first chemotherapy class, she remembers driving home "crying and screaming, yelling at God, asking him why he wanted to do this to me."
But with encouragement from many others, and good medical care locally, Keeling chose a nonsurgical route, getting chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatments daily through Hendrick Health System. Diagnosed at the end of May 2009, she finished treatments in October of that year.
"It seemed at first strange to me that you'd do something to your body that tears it down so and makes you so sick," she said of the chemotherapy in particular.
But all throughout the way, she said, Keeling feels she was "so blessed" by what happened to her.
At the time, her husband was Hardin-Simmons University's head football coach.
The team put colon cancer awareness symbols on their jerseys as a sign of support.
Numerous other people wrote notes or brought cards and food, while Keeling herself compared her struggle to a football game on a CaringBridge site, sort of a social network for patients, friends and family of those undergoing a major health event.
She also relied deeply on her faith to help her get through, she said.
"I found that the blessing for me was that it stopped me and made me be still and do a lot of reading and conversing with my Lord, which I oftentimes got too busy to do," she said. "So you learn, you grow."
Approaching the time where she herself can be declared officially cancer free, Keeling said that it's of vital importance that people get regular colonoscopies.
The preparation for a colonoscopy isn't always pleasant, she said, though she agreed it's better than it was in the past.
"Because we caught it so early, I was at a real advantage toward having it healed," she said. "Some people, you're not going to know or have symptoms until it's progressed so much that you can't recover."
But the illness is "such a curable cancer," she said — "if it's found early."

Mom faces trafficking charges
A Sallisaw woman accused of trying to sell her two children to earn enough money to bail her boyfriend out of jail faces two counts of trafficking in children. Misty Nichole VanHorn, 22, was charged Monday in Sequoyah County District Court. She is jailed with bail set at $50,000. VanHorn is accused of trying to sell her 2-year-old daughter for $1,000 and her 10-month-old child for $3,000 to a woman in Fort Smith, Ark. VanHorn confessed to law enforcement officers she spoke to a friend about selling the children, but then changed her story saying she talked to the children's father about selling them to him, the affidavit states. VanHorn also confessed that she leaves the older child with a woman and that she doesn't know the neighbor's last name. The children were placed in state Department of Human Services custody.
Two Calif. men face drug charges
Two California men were arrested following a traffic stop in southwest Oklahoma City, police said. Police pulled over a vehicle for a traffic violation about 4:50 p.m. Saturday near W Interstate 40 and S Western Avenue and recovered a cardboard box containing 5 pounds of meth, according to the incident report. Samuel Oronia Ramos, 33, and John Manuel Soria, 35, both of Moreno Valley, Calif., were arrested on complaints of trafficking a controlled and dangerous substance. Ramos and Soria were taken to Oklahoma County jail. Their bail is set at $25,000 each.
Victim in blaze is identified
Family members identified Donnie Bence, 45, as the man found dead Friday after a southwest Oklahoma City apartment fire. Funeral services at Bunch-Roberts Funeral Home in Guymon are pending for Bence, a former Guymon resident.

The fire was at the Greystone Apartments, 4900 S Walker Ave.

An Ogdensburg man will spend weekends in jail after pleading guilty to attempted criminal obstruction of breathing and blood circulation.
In city court on Tuesday, Victor L. LaFlair, 27, of 834 Ford St., Apt. 12, was sentenced by Judge A. Michael Gebo to 45 days on weekends in St. Lawrence County jail, Canton.
He was also placed on probation for one year, ordered to pay $200 in surcharges an told to abide by no-harassment orders of protection for Anne L. Remi, 40, and Guy C. Bartlett, both of Ogdensburg.
According to court documents, Mr. LaFlair was arrested April 27 for criminal obstruction of breathing and blood circulation stemming from a domestic incident with Miss Remi. He was also charged then with unlawful possession of marijuana.
The plea also covers a Jan. 22, 2011, second-degree harassment charge in which Mr. Bartlett was the complainant.
Mr. LaFlair was represented by the St. Lawrence County Conflict Public Defenders Office.
In other cases before Judge Gebo Tuesday:
Blane A. Fisher, 24, of 461 Belmont Courts, Ogdensburg, was sentenced to 60 days in county jail after pleading guilty to attempted petit larceny. The plea satisfies a Jan. 19 petit larceny charge from Wal-Mart, 3000 Ford St. Extension, and an Oct. 10 petit larceny charge from Price Chopper, Gateway Plaza, Ford Street Extension. He was also ordered to pay $200 in surcharges. He was represented by the county Public Defenders Office.
Melinda S. Geddes, 25, of 328 Morris St., Ogdensburg, sentenced to 45 days of weekend county jail time and three years probation after pleading guilty to third-degree assault to cover that charge and two others. She was accused of stabbing David Geddes, Ogdensburg, in the arm in July 2010. She was also charged with second-degree criminal contempt in September 2009 for violating an order of protection for Mr. Geddes. Additionally, she was charged with petit larceny from Sholettes Liquor Store, Ogdensburg, in June 2010.
Miss Geddes was also ordered to pay $200 in surcharges and a $50 DNA fee. In addition, she was told to perform 8.5 hours of community service.
She was represented by the Conflict Public Defenders Office.
Erika R. Shrader, 23, of 819 New York Ave., Ogdensburg, was granted an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal of a Dec. 4, 2010, charge of second-degree harassment.
She was represented by the Conflict Public Defenders Office.
Frank T. Jenkinson, 34, of Rideau Ferry, Ontario, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct to satisfy a prior charge of seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, which was identified as anabolic steroids. He was fined and surcharged a total of $370.

Recap: Marty Biron's Comments On Being Placed on Waivers
via Carp from Rangers Report, Marty Biron spoke about being placed on waivers:
- On what he would like to happen, "I don't know. Obviously I need to take some time and think about it. I'll talk to the family, get some opinions from other people. I'll see what comes out of it."
- Would you retire, "I don't know. I think there are many options ahead of me, we will see what happens with being on waivers. There are different options that will be presented and I will see what fits the best. It's not the best scenario and I will be alright and figure it out."
- On his confidence, "it wasn't that high. I battled that up like everyone else in here did. This isn't a fun feeling, it's not something I have had to experience in my career. We will battle. I came into practice this morning and did what I had to do, worked hard. I will play it as it comes."
- On his emotions, "it's all very raw and fresh. Did I see that coming or was it in the back of my mind….my feelings are all over the place. I need to sort out the real ones from the ones that are caught in the moment."
- Did you see it coming, "I didn't see it coming….I had a talk with AV a few days back and I know that obviously my situation….I didn't….after the St. Louis and I had no information that it was possibly going to happen. I talked with AV a few days back and sometimes you try and pick yourself up when something is on the line. It just didn't happen.

Visited Grand Canyon this Week
By Paul Palmquist
November 8, 2013
This week we visited the Grand Canyon N. P. as a group of 14, who planned the trip 2 months ago. We were worried when the shutdown occurred, pleased when it ended, and hope that the Natonal Parks will be properly funded in the future. We all enjoyed the beauty of the canyon, and the geological and ecological stories it illustrated.
