What is
Wilms' tumor?
Wilms' tumor is a disease in which
cancer (malignant) cells are found in
certain parts of the kidney. The kidneys
are a "matched" pair of organs
found on either side of the backbone.
The kidneys are shaped like a kidney
bean. Inside each kidney are tiny tubes
that filter and clean the blood, taking
out unneeded products, and making urine.
The urine made by the kidneys passes
through a tube called a ureter into the
bladder where it is held until it is
passed from the body.
are the symptoms and how is Wilms' tumor diagnosed?
tumor is curable in the majority of affected
children. If your child has symptoms,
your child's doctor will usually
feel your childs abdomen for lumps and
run blood and urine tests. The doctor
may order a special x-ray called an intravenous
pyelogram. During this test, a dye containing
iodine is injected into your childs bloodstream.
This allows your childs doctor to see
the kidney more clearly on the x-ray.
Your childs doctor may also do an ultrasound,
which uses sound waves to make a picture,
or a special x-ray called a computed tomographic
scan to look for lumps in the kidney.
A special scan called magnetic resonance
imaging, which uses magnetic waves to
make a picture, may also be done. Chest
and bone x-rays may also be taken.
If abnormal tissue is found, your childs
doctor will need to cut out a small piece
and look at it under the microscope to
see if there are any cancer cells. This
is called a biopsy.
In Wilms' tumor, how the cancer cells
look under a microscope (histology) is
also very important. The cancer cells
can be of favorable histology or unfavorable
histology (which includes focal and diffuse
Your childs chance of recovery (prognosis)
and choice of treatment depend on the
stage of your childs cancer (whether it
is just in the kidney only or has spread
to other places in the body), how the
cancer cells look under a microscope (histology),
tumor size, and your childs age and general
What Are Other Childhood Kidney
Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney, rhabdoid
tumor of the kidney, and neuroepithelial
tumor of the kidney are childhood kidney
tumors unrelated to Wilms tumor. The treatment
of these tumors is different from that
of Wilms tumor but because of their location
near the kidneys, they have been treated
on clinical trials developed by the National
Wilms Tumor Study Group.
Stages of Wilms tumor
Once Wilms tumor has been found,
more tests will be done to find out if
cancer cells have spread from the kidney
to other parts of the body. This is called
staging. Your childs doctor needs to know
the stage of the disease to plan treatment.
The following stages are used for Wilms
Stage I
Cancer is found only in the kidney and
can be completely removed by surgery.
Stage II
Cancer has spread beyond the kidney, to
fat or soft tissue or blood vessels. The
cancer can be completely removed by surgery.
Stage III
Cancer has spread within the abdomen and
cannot be completely removed by surgery.
The cancer may have spread to the lymph
nodes (small bean-shaped structures found
throughout the body that produce and store
infection-fighting cells) near the kidney,
blood vessels, or the peritoneum (tissue
that lines the abdomen and covers most
organs in the abdomen).
Stage IV
Cancer has spread to other parts of the
body, such as the lungs, liver, bone,
and/or brain.
Stage V
Cancer cells are found in both kidneys
when the disease is first diagnosed.
Recurrent disease means that the cancer
has come back (recurred) after it has
been treated. It may come back where it
started or in another part of the body.

Re: a union is always a join!

As Brian writes, this is one step too far. Every relation can be decomposed into smaller ones based on its nontrivial functional dependencies, but if it hasn't any - and the resulting relations don't - it is only a join of itself.
Perhaps by join you mean something like the AND in Darwen's 'A New Relational Algebra' (thanks for giving its URL earlier), which has the join and and union of relational algebra as special cases. We can also decompose relations by writing them as the unions of other relations (someone I know wrote a PhD thesis about it), but Heath isn't about that.

I don't follow. If we know the dependencies, some deletions are possible, while others aren't. How is this relevant if you don't make a distinction between 'base' and 'virtual' relations? (Or 'time varying' relations and views, whatever.)

If by 'subset of attributes' you mean 'key', you're right.

Heath has an 'if' clause; aren't you overlooking it?

Yes, but what are trivial joins good for?

An insert extends a relation vertically (it adds tuples); a relational algebra join horizontally (it extends tuples with attributes and values), but when projecting these attributes away again, hasn't added anything). An insert can be expressed as a (relational algebra) union of the existing relation with the inserted tuples, but no nontrivial r.a. union is a r.a. join (and vice versa). Using the term 'join' for Darwen's AND operator, which combines r.a. union and join, doesn't change this.
What are you trying to achieve?
>One can equally say that

In the relational algebra, a nontrivial union is never a join or vice versa. What does combining them into "AND" buy you?

I don't see what this has to do with anything you wrote before.

Christoph Waltz Might Still Cameo In The Muppets Sequel
By Sean O'Connell 2012-12-27 10:09:46 comments
The idea of Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds standout Christoph Waltz in a Muppets movie was so unusual that minute we heard it was a possibility, we immediately wanted it to happen. Normally, the Muppets lure comedians or actors with a lighter touch for their cameo roles. John Krasinski, Steve Martin, Rashida Jones, Bette Midler these are the names we expect to see in scenes with Kermit and Miss Piggy.
Then, Waltz dropped out of the still-developing Muppets sequel, and was replaced by Modern Family star Ty Burell. That makes sense. Skilled in uncomfortable pauses and delusional comedic glances, Burrell is going to play an Interpol investigator. However, Waltz has now said we shouldnt count him out of the sequel altogether.
While doing Django press, the actor told Collider that he might still be doing a cameo for the film, and his scene could have him dancing with Miss Piggy. The Muppets answer is at the end of the clip. Click the link above to give it a listen.
It was Waltzs busy schedule that reportedly was going to keep him out of filming the larger role in the planned sequel, but if director James Bobin can find some room for him, were willing to take what little bit we can get. Waltz is such a no-nonsense guy, wed love to see him let his hair down, so to speak, for a silly dance number with Piggy. Well see if it makes it into the finished cut. Bobin and Nicholas Stoller are hammering out a screenplay, while Ricky Gervais has been tapped for the movies lead. The sequel is taking shape. Well see if Waltz is involved or not as time goes on.

Most exciting UD memory:
Cardboard Project freshman year was a great time. We practically lived in the studio, even slept on the floor beacuse we were all working so hard. It's also how everyone in my major got to know each other. We may have been working, but it was with fun kids!
Advice for a new student:
A lot of people I know, now at one point or another, thought about transferring because they couldn't ind people like them. If by the end of freshman year you don't like your friends, keep looking because there are 16,000 people on campus, and there are bound to be some who are into the same things as you.
Advice for their parents:
If your nest is empty, it's time for y'all to focus on you!

2008 Satisfaction Survey
We conducted our annual satisfaction survey between 20 October and 17 November 2008. All our reading room visitors were encouraged to complete the survey. The survey was also available on the website.
The aim of the survey was to:
- find out the level of satisfaction felt by users on their visit to, and on the services offered, in the reading rooms
- obtain feedback of satisfaction on the use of the website, and
- invite suggestions for future talks and seminars.
We are most grateful to all those who took the time to complete the survey. Your responses have provided us with very useful feedback on our reading room, online services and website resources. This will be of great assistance in our future planning.
Everyone completing the survey was invited to go into the draw to win a copy of the Convict Guide. Congratulations to the 2008 winner Mrs Noelene Hoysted.

Primary Application Packets
We now have a total of 11,053 Primary Application Packets listed in Archives Investigator (see NRS 17513). You can search for Primary Application Packets that have been transferred to State Records with or without the PA number using Archives Investigator.
- If you know the PA number conduct an Advanced Search - Record Item. Enter the primary application number (include PA making sure you include a space after PA and before the number: e.g., PA 17106) and the series number 17513.
- If you do not know the Primary Application Number you can still conduct an Advanced Search - Records Item. Enter the series number 17513 and in the Title Field enter the name of the individual who obtained the PA in the Item title field: e.g., Thomas Hogan. Select All Words.
Remember, if you do not locate the Primary Application Packet using Archives Investigator, you should visit the Department of Lands at 1 Queens Square, Sydney and consult the Departmental records to locate the Primary Application number.
There is a helpful 'Tips' webpage on Archives Investigator which illustrates how to search for a Primary Application packet. If you would like more information on Primary Application Packets read the updated Archives in Brief 108.
Spotlight on searching for Unassisted Passenger arrivals
The search for unassisted passengers arriving in Sydney can be a daunting and time consuming task. Without the name of the ship or the specific date of arrival, and in the absence of a comprehensive index to the passenger lists, researchers are faced with reels and reels of microfilm copies of lists to scroll through. The task has been made a little easier because of a range of online indexes now available.
The following indexes are available in both State Records' reading rooms:
Index to unassisted Immigrants 1842-56
This index comprises unassisted (or free) passengers who came to Australia at their own expense, including ships' crew. It was compiled by Ms Aileen Trinder and Ms Pat Fearnley (formerly Stemp) of Pastkeys. The Index to unassisted Immigrants, 1842-55 is published on our website with the permission of Ms Trinder and Ms Fearnley, who also retain the copyright to this index.
Western Australian Genealogical Society Inc. (WAGS)
The Western Australian Genealogical Society (WAGS) has published an Index to passenger arrivals in Western Australia, 1839-90, 1898-1925 on the reading room computers. This can be a useful source for tracing arrivals as passengers may have continued on the journey to Sydney after reaching Fremantle.
The National Archives of Australia Index to passenger arrivals, 1921-50
You can search for passengers arriving by ship in Fremantle and other Western Australian ports between January 1921 and 15 January 1950; or arriving at Perth airport between 1944 and 15 January 1950 on the National Archives of Australia website. You can also access the NAA website on the reading room computers.
Public Record Office of Victoria
Many ships on their way to Sydney called in at Melbourne. The Public Record Office of Victoria (PROV) has an online Index to Outward Passengers to Interstate, UK, NZ and Foreign Ports 1852-1896 (passengers travelling on ships leaving Victoria). To quote from the information on the PROV website 'You can search by passenger names, ship name or departure date and obtain a reference to the microfilm copy of the lists (catalogued as VPRS 3506) available in PROV Reading Rooms. This index is being prepared by PROV volunteers. Further instalments to 1923 will be published as they are completed.'
If you find an entry in these indexes you can check the following records for the Sydney arrival:
- Reports of vessels arrived, Jul 1826-Dec 1853, NRS 1291 [Reels 1263-1280 and 2851], and
- Passengers arriving, 1854-1900, NRS 13278 [Reels 399-560 and 2001-2122, 2751)
These microfilm reels are available in our reading rooms. Microfilm reels covering July 1826-1900 also form part of the Archives Resources Kit and can be accessed at our 40 community access points throughout New South Wales. The other good news is that those with computer access may be able to view digital copies of the some of these passenger lists on the Mariners and Ships in Australian Waters website. For example, if you find a person in the PROV index, check out the Mariners and Ships in Australian Waters website to see if the list has been transcribed and scanned. John Wilson is listed in the PROV index as departing for Sydney on the Whompoa in September 1878. The transcription and digital copy of the passenger list for the Whompoa which arrived in Sydney on 27 September 1878 can be viewed on the Mariners' site and John Wilson's name is listed.
Lists of departures from the British Isles, 1890-1960
The website, ancestorsonboard.com has an index to outward Passenger Lists for 'long-distance voyages leaving the British Isles' covering the years 1890 to 1960. As it states on the site 'you can search for passenger list records of individuals or groups of people leaving for destinations including Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa and USA featuring ports such as Boston, Philadelphia and New York. Passengers include not only immigrants and emigrants, but also businessmen, diplomats and tourists'. While you do have to pay to view the passenger list, you do not have to pay to search the index. A successful search of the index will show the following information: last name; first name year of birth; sex; departure year and port; destination country and destination port. In many cases this will be enough information to identify an ancestor which means that you may be able to narrow down your search of those voluminous unassisted passenger lists. There is a link to this website on the reading room computers.
You may even find a record of your ancestor's arrival using the range of online indexes we have listed.

'Hated' LeBron James more loved than Dwight Howard by NBA fans
I've heard the saying before "haters are really fans who don't know it yet." Judging by the NBA's jersey sales, LeBron James has a lot of love from NBA fans.
USA Today posted a blog recently that LeBron James' NBA jersey sales topped Kobe Bryant, putting his jersey in the top-selling position for the first time in seven years. This debunks the perception that LeBron James' image is in shreds since ESPN's infamous "The Decision" interview where LeBron James announced he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat.
So much for that LeBron and Miami Heat hate card players like to use.
Another former hated player, Kobe Bryant, remains in top with the No. 2 top selling jersey while the lovable big guy's jersey Dwight Howard ranks No. 9. Rajon Rondo, Amar'e Stoudemire, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony ranked above Howard. John Wall finished in the No. 10 spot.
It's intriguing that Dwight Howard's jersey didn't finish higher considering he's got the most marketable and personable personality out of that top 10 round-up. Not to mention the Orlando Magic has experienced more playoff success in recent NBA history than the New York Knicks, Oklahoma City and the Chicago Bulls (although that is expected to change).
Interesting. Thoughts?

a silly but humble suggestion:
Your concept seems simple. I understand, what we read here is a beta version of bits and pieces of your book and not the full book. I would like your book to be easy to understand for beginners like me.
Forgive me if I am in the minority.

President Obama Prepares His Cabinet
By Michael Gallagher
The Minstrel
President-elect has begun selecting nominees for his cabinet with praise and aprehension.
With the presidential election finally over, it is now time for President-elect Barack Obama to complete his most difficult challenge: select a cabinet that not only satisfies the demands of his Democratic colleagues, but also one that garners the approval of his Republican counterparts.
The purpose of a cabinet is to monitor various portions of the United States government without the president having to be involved in every aspect.
The existence of a presidential cabinet dates back to the first president, George Washington, who appointed a cabinet of four individuals to advise and assist him in his duties. Today, President-elect Obama must nominate 15 people for cabinet positions.
To officially become a member of a president's cabinet, a nominated individual must be confirmed by the Senate with a simple majority. If they are approved, the individual must be sworn in to his or her specific position to begin his or her duties.
With the economy in shambles and disdain for Americans increasing throughout the world, people have become concerned over whom Obama will choose for his cabinet.
"I'm very interested to see who Obama will surround himself with. This could make or break his presidency. As a college student, I'd like to know where the economy and general direction of the country is headed," says Robert Puzycki, a senior communication major.
Obama, having little political experience, is expected to surround himself with very qualified individuals that can help rebuild many of the problems the United States currently encounters. Inheriting a country whose infrastructure is damaged and in desperate need of repair, many look towards Obama's appointment of cabinet members as a sign of change.
As the economy suffers dearly, many college students look to Obama's pick of Secretary of Treasury to be a very important one.
"With the economy the way it is, Obama's choice of Secretary of Treasury is crucial for our economy to rebound. This is probably the most important post in Obama's new administration," says John Modesto, a sophomore management information of technology major.
As a result, Obama selected Timothy Geithner, the president of the New York Federal Reserve, to fill the position. With many education loans at risk given the current credit crunch, students seem confident in Obama's pick. "I know a lot of kids are having trouble with their loans from banks. So I think a qualified person, like Geithner, is a positive sign for Obama. Maybe these loan problems can finally be taken care of for college students," says Modesto.
As the head of the New York Federal Reserve, Geithner helped lead a campaign to stabilize the financial markets and unify the regulatory framework that banks across the world operate under. With banks across the country suffering, Geithner hopes to end the credit crunch and restore economic stability to the country.
Inheriting a country in the middle of two wars, Obama has chosen to keep Robert Gates at his current position as Secretary of Defense. A moderate Republican, many college students view the Gates' appointment as a positive one, hinting at the fact that Obama is willing to work closely with Republicans in order to fix the current problems facing the country.
Students who have connections to the current wars have paid close attention to this appointment.
"Being that I am in the ROTC program, I think that the Secretary of Defense position is very important and affects me directly. I think keeping Gates on is a smart move for Obama, showing his willingness to actually set the country straight," says Dan Szilagi, a first-year criminal justice major.
Other students are also very high on Gates' selection.
"With the world at war, I think keeping Gates on is a very positive move by Obama. Being a Republican myself, I think this shows that Obama is dedicated to reuniting the country, no matter what political affiliation someone has," says Puzycki.
Gates has much experience at the position and can give Obama perspectives that may be overlooked by a Democrat-only cabinet.
Many students also have shown concern regarding the fact that residents of foreign countries view Americans with despise. As a result, students feel that Obama's pick for Secretary of State is a very important one.
"I'm really concerned over how other countries view us. I think we really need to heal those relations. A good way to do that is appointing an experienced Secretary of State," says Szilagi.
With that in mind, Obama chose Hilary Clinton, the current Senator of the state of New York and wife of former President Bill Clinton, as his Secretary of State. Some students feel that this selection is a good one.
"Hilary Clinton has a lot of experience and is well-known throughout the world. A lot of other countries hate us these days, and I think Clinton's image may help restore American luster to the world," says Modesto.
Being the wife of former President Bill Clinton, Clinton gained a global profile. When her husband was in office, Clinton was involved with a lot of goodwill missions to other countries. Her profile across the globe is a positive one, which will only help Obama's presidency, for both conservatives and liberals alike.
"I'm a very conservative person, but even I have to give credit to Obama's choices for his cabinet. He's surrounding himself with very qualified people that could lead to a very productive presidency in this time of crisis," says Puzycki.
Let's hope that Obama's cabinet can effectively deal with the economic crisis facing the country, as well as the various other issues affecting the United States today.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (6-7) officially kick off the most brutal part of their schedule Friday night when they host the Eastern Conference leading Chicago Bulls (13-3) to the Q.
This game is naturally being billed as the first showdown between Derrick Rose and Kyrie Irving, a pair of young PGs who will be playing a lot of games against each other in the next few years. Of course Rose, the reigning MVP and one of the absolute best players in the game today has a pretty healthy head start on Irving. But it would still be fun to see how Irving matches up with Rose at this early stage in his career.
Unfortunately, we may not get to see that matchup. Rose has been battling a toe injury and will be a game time decision. He did not participate in shootaround this morning, though, and in my opinion it might be a long shot to see him play tonight.
If he is absent, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau will likely use a starting lineup of CJ Watson, Richard Hamilton, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, and Joakim Noah. Key subs for the Bulls include Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver, Taj Gibson, Omer Asik, and John Lucas.
Make no mistake about it, the Bulls are a great team. They have the NBA's 8th most efficient offense and the 2nd most efficient defense. They are a team that just controls games from the half court, a level of efficiency that will suit them well in the playoffs. They don't turn the ball over much and they are the league's top offensive rebounding team (in ORB%).
The Cavaliers are expected to get Anthony Parker back tonight. That would reunite the starting lineup of Kyrie Irving, Anthony Parker, Omri Casspi, Antawn Jamison, and Anderson Varejao. No matter how you look at it, this is a rough matchup for the Cavaliers.
The Bulls will want to slow this game down for the most part, although Rose is never afraid to push the tempo from the point (the Bulls are 8th in fastbreak points despite being 25th in Pace Factor…talk about fastbreak efficiency). But in general, they like to run their half court sets to slow the game down and force opponents to have to deal with Chicago's half court defense.
One major matchup in this one will be Andy and Noah. There's no denying that Noah has dominated Varejao in past matchups. Andy must play a better game against Noah to help the Cavs have a chance in this game. Rebounding is going to be a huge factor, and Andy must find a way to keep Noah off the boards. Varejao has shown growth as a rebounder this year and he needs to be physical with Noah to keep him away from the boards, particularly offensive rebounds.
Without Derrick Rose, CJ Watson has played phenomenally well. This is still going to be a matchup to watch even without Rose. With the Bulls playing such great defense, Irving needs to be smart with the ball and protect it. I applaud the aggressiveness he has shown recently…it's what he needs to be doing to develop his game. But he needs to be mindful of the turnovers. The Cavaliers are a successful team at scoring in the paint in large part because their PGs create a lot of issues by driving. If Irving can mix up his scoring with some on the mark passes instead of throw-aways, the Cavaliers will have some chances to score and draw fouls inside in this game.
Finally, the Cavalier bench must have a great game against the Bulls' reserves. The Bulls' 2nd unit plays great defense, much like their starting counterparts. However, the Bulls' bench is not scoring a ton of points for them this year. The Cavs must have a bench performance that dramatically outplays the Bulls' bench in order for the Cavaliers to have much of a chance in this game. The Bulls' starting lineup is just too deep and too experienced for the Cavs' starting lineup to match up.
Who knows how many games the Cavaliers will win against many of the NBA's elite teams over the next six weeks. No matter how this stretch plays out, though, there will be plenty of opportunities for this team to show what they are made of and how far along they really have come under Byron Scott. A surprise win against a divisional rival would be a great way to kick off this stretch of the schedule.

How to Make Gelling Powder
This powder, found in almost every disposable diaper, will quickly transform virtually any liquid into a thick gel.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Get a clean diaper. Open it, and rip the inside. (Note: there may be multiple layers. Rip through all of them.)
2There will be some cotton inside. Remove this cotton and set it aside. Get the empty diaper and pour out the powder inside.
3You've found some of the gel powder! There is more in the cotton. Rub the cotton over a flat surface to extract the remaining powder. Remove any bits of cotton that fall off with the powder, as they will hinder the powder's effectiveness. When you have extracted as much as you need, use the cotton to sweep the powder into a small empty bottle, cup, or any other perfectly dry container.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- This won't work well unless you get all cotton out of the powder. If you don't isolate the gel powder, you'll only get some wet cotton, so don't waste your time or disposable diapers.
- If you lack an adequate amount of powder, the liquid will take significantly more time to set. If you use very little powder, it will gain the viscosity of hair gel after at least 20 minutes (please do not attempt to use this as hair gel).
- You may need multiple diapers if you plan to use the powder with a full glass of liquid.
- Do not add to anyone's drink as this will poison them if they consume it.
Things You'll Need
- One or more disposable diapers
- A very small bottle or other container
- A liquid to pour the powder into

IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems
Special Issue on Complex- and Hypercomplex-Valued Neural Networks
Complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) exhibit very desirable characteristics in their learning, self-organizing, and processing dynamics. They are perfectly suited to deal with complex amplitude, composed of amplitude and phase, which is one of the core concepts in physical systems dealing with electromagnetic, light, sonic/ultrasonic, and quantum waves (electron and superconducting waves). This, together with the widespread use of analytic signals, gives them a critical advantage in practical applications in diverse fields of engineering, where signals are routinely analyzed and processed in time/space, frequency, and phase domains. In addition, broad-sense CVNNs such as quaternion and Clifford neural networks, as well as kernel and reservoir approaches, underpin unique new directions in color-information treatment, robotics and control. To further promote research activities in this area, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks plans to publish a Special Issue on "Complex- and hypercomplex-valued neural networks" to be published in January 2014.
We welcome theoretical papers, application papers, as well as survey papers. Topics include, but are not limited to:
·Theoretical aspects of CVNNs such as complex-valued activation functions, gradient, and stability
·Learning/Self-organization algorithms and processing dynamics in CVNNs
·Chaos in the complex domain, coherence, and causality
·Complex-valued associative memories and attractor networks
·Feedforward/Recurrent CVNNs for time series analysis and classification
·Phase-only and phase-sensitive signal processing and nonlinear filtering using CVNNs
·Distributed, widely linear, sparse, and kernel CVNN approaches
·Pattern recognition, classification and time series prediction using CVNNs
·Applications of CVNNs in image processing, speech processing and bioinformatics
·Frequency- , time-frequency, and spatio-temporal domain CVNN processing
·Quantum computation and quantum neural networks
·CVNNs for trajectory tracking, robotics and control
·Clifford, quaternion, and multidimensional neural networks

Although the first sunshine in several days may have hurt attendance, The Fourth Annual Catalyst of Hope/Kentucky PEP Rally will be considered a success because of the many lives it touched.
"I am incredibly pleased with the turnout, the presentations, and the overall atmosphere of Saturday's event," organizer Patti Clark said. "While we would have liked to have had a larger crowd, we understood there were many other activities going on and it was the first pretty day of spring."
Despite weather-related setbacks all along, construction leaders at Owen County's new courthouse facility are hopeful that completion will come during the spring of 2012.
Construction Superintendent with Codell Construction Taylor Coates said as of Friday construction has been pushed back 60 days since the start date of April 26, 2010 – which ends up being 84 calendar days.
Nine of those days came from the severe thunderstorms and rain during April.
A wet-dry petition that had been making the rounds in Owen County since January was officially filed at the Owen County Clerk's Office Monday afternoon.
The petition, which included at least 200 more signatures than needed, was signed by "Citizens for Change and Growth."
As the Owen County School Board continued their budget battle Monday, the board gave the public a chance to respond to some recent decisions.
Those wishing to speak to the board concerning an issue were asked to sign up to do so and were each allotted three minutes to address the board.
Owen County Primary School's Media Specialist Mindy Green addressed the board. Her position took a 10-day reduction and she requested that the board think of her next year when they're making more budget decisions.

Wednesday receipts: 841
For the week: 1,009
Last week: 640
Last year: 1,033
Compared to the previous Wednesday: Slaughter cows and bulls $1 to $2 higher. Feeder steers $2 to $3 lower. Feeder heifers $1 to $3 higher, except 500-600 lbs. fully, $4 lower.
Farmers who raise livestock; whether cattle, horses, sheep, or goats, should think of themselves as forage farmers as well. Increased use of forage reduces feed costs and increases potential yield per animal; to some extent, it is an input that a farmer can manage himself to minimize concentrate purchases.

The Owen County High School boys' relay teams have been having a great season so far in 2011.
At a recent meet in Grant County, they were not just good, they were record breaking.
Paul Banks, Collin Trammel, Bobby Mingie and Darian Polley make up both the 4x100 meter and the 4x200-meter teams.
Both teams finished first at Grant County.
Their time of 46.45 in the 4x100-meter was good for a new school record as was their time of 1:37 in the 4x200-meter relay.
The post-season honors continue to pile up for Owen County High School junior Rianna Gayheart.
The Lady Rebel guard had already been named Eighth Region Player of the Year.
Last week, she received more recognition.
She was named honorable mention All State by the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Gayheart was also selected to play for the Kentucky Junior All Stars.
Her team will be taking on the Kentucky Senior All-Star team the week before the seniors play the Indiana Senior All Stars.

I decided to play this hack and to make it more interesting I planned on making a baton pass team. So I caught a ledyba which learned baton pass and breeded it with a scyther. The female scyther that hatched had the move baton pass. When I tried to let that same scyther with baton pass breed with a dustox who had learned silver wind, a scyther hatched with silver wind, but not with the move baton pass which it should've inherited from it's mother scyther with the move baton pass. I should've gotten a scyther with baton pass and silver wind, right?
This kind of ruins my plan on making an unique and fun team I had in mind...

Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
I am concerned my Brother will lose his half of the 3 lots. Will this happen? If I don't list these since they are in My Mothers name will they find them?
My attorney told me to say the property belongs to my brother or if I decided to tell the trustee we could cut a deal with him (money) & I can keep the property. Your thoughts? I am to say the least confused.
I so appreciate your honesty. If the trustee works out a deal to purchase his interest, will the creditors still take the remainder of my half?

By Fotovoltaik (also Photovoltaik) one understands the transformation about radiation energy, primarily solar power, into electricity. It is since 1958 first in the power supply of satellites by means of solar cells in the use. Meanwhile it is used for generation of current in the whole world and applies to roof areas, with park illusory automats, at or on open spaces.
The name consists of the components photos - the Greek word for light - and Volta - after Alessandro Volta, a pioneer of the electricity -.
The quantity of solar power, hitting as light on earth, is 10,000 times higher than the primary energy consumption (conditions 1998, 402 EJ) of mankind. The energy entry by the sun amounts to per year about 1.1 1018 KW/H. This radiation energy can be converted fotovoltaisch directly into electricity, without by-products develop such as exhaust gases (for example carbon dioxide). That wavelength coverage of the hitting and changeable electromagnetic radiation is not enough from the short-wave, visible ultraviolet (UV) over the visible range (light) until far into the longer-wave infrared range (radiant heat) inside. During the transformation the photoelectric effect is used.
The energy transformation takes place by solar cells, which are connected too for solar modules so mentioned, in Fotovoltaikanlagen. The produced electricity can be used either locally, stored into accumulators or fed into electricity mains.
In the case of feed of the energy into public electricity mains DC voltage produced by the solar cells is converted from an inverter into alternating voltage.
Every now and then an exclusive power supply is realized by means of Fotovoltaik in island systems. In order to have continuously energy here available, the energy must be stored. Acquaintance, accumulator-buffered island systems are parking meter systems, which are frequent in larger cities.
The fotovoltaische energy transformation is clearly more expensive because of the manufacturing costs of the solar modules compared with conventional power stations, whereby however large parts of the subsequent costs of the conventional energy transformation do not enter today's energy prices also. The strongly varying radiation offer makes the employment more difficult of the Fotovoltaik. The radiation energy varies foreseeable daily and seasonally conditionally, as well as daily dependent on the weather conditions. For example a firmly installed solar plant can bring one in Germany in July in relation to December up to five times higher yield. The fotovoltaische energy transformation is meaningfully applicable as a component in one energy-mixes different energy processes of change. Without the possibility of an economic energy storage generally speaking here conventional power stations will have not complete to replace yardstick. However the current feeding law and in particular the renewable energy law led to a boom with the establishment of Fotovoltaikanlagen in Germany. Thus at the end of of June 2005 the threshold was exceeded of electrical achievement installed by 1000 MW by Fotovoltaikanlagen, corresponds to a large conventional power station and means an increasing a hundredfold in the last 10 years.
The rated output in the Fotovoltaik is indicated in Wp (Watt peak) and/or kWp. "peak" (English maximum value, point) refers to the achievement with test conditions, which do not correspond to the everyday life enterprise directly. It does not act thereby also around the achievement of the cell or the module during highest sun exposure. The test conditions serve for the standardisation and for the comparison of different solar cells or - modules. The electrical values of the construction units under these conditions are indicated in the data sheets. With 25 "°C module temperature, 1000 W/m are measured irradiancy and an air measure of 1,5. These are the STC conditions (standard test conditions), which as international standard was specified. If these conditions cannot be kept with testing, then the rated output must be determined computationally from the given test conditions. The irradiancy of 1000 W/m does not come into Central Europe over one year seen very frequently forwards (the further south, the more frequently). In the normal enterprise solar modules and/or the solar cells have a substantially higher operating temperature than the 25 "°C and concomitantly a clearly lower efficiency planned in the test when this irradiation.
The middle annual production of a again in each case established net-coupled Photovoltaik plant in Germany, which can be expected, rises for years with improvement of the technology continuously and lies at present during meaningful interpretation of the plant at values around 900-1000 kilowatt-hours per kWp (source: Fraunhofer Institut for solar energy systems ISE, 2006).
With solar cells in the Fotovoltaik obtained efficiency reach from little per cent (for example about 6 per cent for cadmium tellurium ID solar modules) up to over 35 per cent (concentrator multi-layer laboratory copy). The efficiencies of usual market solar modules lie between 10 and 16 per cent. For general survey however still the losses of the inverter flow also.
Although the sun exposure altogether the available appears immensely high, the Fotovoltaik is very surface intensive due to at present rather low efficiency. Thus a wind-powered device with 5 MW achievement produces about exactly the same much energy like 500 m X.500 m (25 hectars) a large solar electricity plant.
The attainable Potenzial is very high: Despite the apparently unfavorable conditions in Germany were sufficient theoretically about 2 per cent for the total area of the country, in order to harvest with today available technology in the yearly total the same electricity, Germany altogether per year necessarily. The objection, the surface in Central Europe would be sufficient for a substantial portion from Fotovoltaik to the power supply, is not thus not durable. The necessary surface could be achieved without new sealing by means of the use of cultivated surfaces (above all roofs). The Fotovoltaik can on a long-term basis supply therefore also to Germany a substantial contribution to the climatic protection and to the preservation of resources.
The number mentioned of 2 % results in the case of an installed achievement of one kWp per 10 m surface, an annual energy yield of approx. 750 KW/H per kWp, requirements of electric current of Germany of approx. 550 billion a KW/H (the order of magnitude for the year 2004 and 2005) and the total area of Germany of approx. 350,000 km
In the year 2005 approx. 0.2 per cent of the German generation of current from solar energy were won, however with constantly strong growth, which corresponds for instance to an increasing tenfold of the production every five years. For the year 2010 different prognoses go from 0,45-1,0 per cent (source: Federation of the network carriers/Federal association renewable energies). Also with theoretically high Potenzialen solar electricity plays up-to-date and in the next years for the German generation of current only a very small role, however the current portion from Fotovoltaik for a functioning regenerativ is energy-mixes necessarily by the offer behavior of the solar power moving in opposite directions to the wind.
With the above data to area requirements a possibly necessary intermediate storage of the energy is not yet considered. If one assumes 25 % of the energy are used immediately and 75 % are stored would double, this with transformation losses of 50 % area requirements for Fotovoltaik approximately and would require additional capital outlays.

Dear all, within the chemistry part of the wikipedia, we are trying to get rid of excessive, and biased
external links on chemical substance-pages. Since every chemical substance gets assigned some unique
identifiers, it would be possible to collate all the external links into a page (a rough setup is on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Chemical_sources), and then have a special page creating the
links, just like the special:booksources page. I would like to have some help setting this up, I do not
have a live server to run a test wikipedia on, I have not much of a clue about php, and don't know how
to get my hands on an example (probs a copy of the special:booksources page.
For as far as I now can see, it boils down to making a copy of the special:booksources page, which loads
the chemical sources page. The special page has to be able to take more than one unique identifier, and
fill them in (maybe in some cases using some extra handling). I expect that the second step might be
also creating the magiclinks, but to start with I would be satisfied with templates calling the special
Can somebody have a look if what we would like to have is possible, and then help us set this up?
Cheers, Dirk.

For an extra kick, add 1 tsp. crushed red pepper to the coating ingredients before using to coat the fish.
Fish is done when it looks opaque and just begins to flake easily with a fork. Undercooked fish looks translucent and overcooked fish looks dry and falls apart.
Stack the mint and cilantro leaves on top of each other. Roll the stack lengthwise, then cut crosswise into thin slices. This is a technique professional chefs call chiffonade.
Escape to the tropics with this low-fat entree. The sweet and citrus topping is a perfect complement to the fish.

This had a strange flavor
This was VERY yummy! I loved the change in flavor using orange juice instead of the usual lemon flavor. I did use a can of concentrate orange juice as it was quicker than squeezing. My finicky 16 yr old boy even ate it and had seconds! That says it all
Decided to make this recipe with a backup plan..just in case my family didn't like it. We finished all the Island Citrus Fish and wished we had more! I used Haddock, because I had it in the freezer, and I added 3/4tsp. crushed red pepper which gave it a nice zip. It was fantastic! Light, sweet with a little spicy flavor. Will definitely make it again! Already shared the recipe!

With the Liga title in the bag, Barça's second consecutive Liga, the Azulgranas close out the season where they also won the UEFA Futsal Cup, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Cup
Only the Spanish Super Cup slips away
Barça Alusport have only lost one of the five titles in play this year. It was the Spanish Super Cup, the tournament that marks the start of the season. Barça lost in the final in Torrejón Adroz to Inter Movistar by 3 to 4.
The Azulgrana futsal team closed out the best season in the history of the Club after Barça Alusport beat ElPozo and claimed the Liga title this evening. This year Barça won four of the five titles that the team contested. This season Marc Carmona's men have written their names in eternal ink in the Club history books.
Once again the victim was ElPozo Murcia. This time it was a best-of-five series and the Southerners simply couldn't cope with the Azulgranas, who won their second consecutive Liga title. Barça won the title over the team that have the second-most titles in the LNFS (5).
Lobelle, the first victim
This season's amazing run started on March 11, when the Azulgranas claimed their first title. It was the Spanish Cup. Barça played the final in Logroño against Lobelle Santiago and won by 5-3 . Before beating the Northerns in the final, Marc Carmona's men saw off Inter Movistar in the semifinals (4-1), and Caja Segovia in the quarterfinals (0-3). This was Barça's second consecutive Spanish Cup.
In the heavens of Europe
On April 29 of this year, the first time in Club history, Barça Alusport stretched its dominance over the continent. The Azulgrana hegemony became a reality at the Pabellón Barris Nord in Lleida, where Barça played in the semifinals of the UEFA Futsal Cup. Carmona's men left Sporting Clube in the dust with a 5-1 drubbing and in the following match, the final, Barça claimed the title by beating Dynamo Moscow by 3-1.
First blow to ElPozo
Barça Alusport's rival in the final of the LNFS, ElPozo Murcia, tasted defeat as well in the Copa del Rey final. Barça won the match by 6 to 3 in the title game. This as well was Barça second consecutive Copa del Rey title. In the semifinal, Barça had beaten Inter Movistar in the semifinals.

Supermarine announce Samaritans as their charity partner (From This Is Wiltshire)
Supermarine announce Samaritans as their charity partner
5:30am Thursday 10th July 2014 in By Tom Bassam, Chief sports writer
SWINDON Supermarine have announced Samaritans of Swindon and District will be their charity partner for the 2014/15 season.
Suicide is the leading the cause of death for men between the age of 20 and 49 and a Samaritans is hoping their association with the Webb's Wood club encourages men who find it difficult to talk about their problems to come forward.
A spokesperson for the charity said: "We want to reach men who may not have thought about contacting Samaritans to let them know Samaritans can be contacted around the clock. They don't judge you and what you say stays between you and Samaritans."
Last year Swindon and District Samaritans were contacted by around 26,000 people either by phone, email, text and talking face to face and they are available to talk off the record on 01793 537373* or 08457909090*(*call charges apply).

Clelland C, Craciun L, Bancroft C, Lufkin T. Mapping and developmental expression analysis of the WD-repeat gene Preb. Genomics 2000 Feb; 63(3): 391-9.We have isolated from mouse a novel WD-motif-containing gene designated Preb. This gene encodes a predicted protein of 416 amino acids and has significant homology with other members of the WD-motif gene superfamily that play a role in cell fate determination. Preb maps to the proximal end of chromosome 5 in mouse, near the Hmx1 homeobox gene. Preb is detectable in early stage embryos in the peripheral nervous system, developing liver, and surface ectoderm. Later, Preb is expressed in the anterior portion of Rathke's pouch, which gives rise to the anterior pituitary, the organ responsible for the production of prolactin and other hormones. In midgestation embryos, the most extensive expression of Preb is observed in the perichondrium of the craniofacial, axial, and appendicular skeleton. The expression pattern of Preb in murine embryos suggests a potential role in the specification of multiple cell types, in particular, the fetal skeleton. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

The Internet might be a useful tool for activists and organisers, in episodes from the Arab Spring to the Ice Bucket Challenge. But over all, it has diminished rather than enhanced political participation, according to new data.
Social media, like Twitter and Facebook, has the effect of tamping down diversity of opinion and stifling debate about public affairs. It makes people less likely to voice opinions, particularly when they think their views differ from those of their friends, according to a report published by researchers at Pew Research Center and Rutgers University.
The researchers also found that those who use social media regularly are more reluctant to express dissenting views in the offline world. The Internet, it seems, is contributing to the polarisation of America, as people surround themselves with people who think like them and hesitate to say anything different. Internet companies magnify the effect, by tweaking their algorithms to show us more content from people who are similar to us.
People who use social media are finding new ways to engage politically, but theres a big difference between political participation and deliberation, said Keith N. Hampton, an associate professor of communication at Rutgers and an author of the study. People are less likely to express opinions and to be exposed to the other side, and thats exposure wed like to see in a democracy.
The researchers set out to investigate the effect of the Internet on the so-called spiral of silence, a theory that people are less likely to express their views if they believe they differ from those of their friends, family and colleagues. The Internet, many people thought, would do away with that notion because it connects more heterogeneous people and gives even minority voices a bullhorn.
Instead, the researchers found, the Internet reflects the offline world, where people have always gravitated toward like-minded friends and shied away from expressing divergent opinions.
And in some ways, the Internet has deepened that divide. It makes it easy for people to read only news and opinions from people they agree with. In many cases, people dont even make that choice for themselves. Last week, Twitter said it would begin showing people tweets even from people they dont follow if enough other people they follow favourite them. Early this week, Facebook said it would hide stories with certain types of headlines in the news feed.
Humans are acutely attuned to the approval of others, constantly

Little disclaimer – these are just my opinion… taken and formed from my blog designing experience this past year and a half, and some things I've picked up along the way. Please take them with a grain of salt, and keep doing what you know is best for your blog 🙂 xo
Welcome to part 5 of awesomeness for your blog! I have been really surprised at the extremely positive response I've received from this little series and hope you are all enjoying them. 🙂
Thank you Pinterest for this image!
So… let's talk about your sidebars.
Sidebars are one of the BEST parts of a blog. When I happen upon a new blog of inspiration or cuteness, I look at two things… The "About" page, or something of this sort- because I love reading how the blogger began his/ her journey… and the buttons, links and info the blogger shares in the sidebar(s).
But let's face it. Sidebars can easily get cluttered with all the beautiful buttons of all your favorite places online. One way to keep all your buttons and save space in your sidebar is with something called the scrolling sidebar gadget. Click here for the quick and easy tutorial!
So cool. Check it out, it takes minutes to install 🙂
update: it came to my attention a few days ago through a fabulous reader that the tutorial was not working. i made some changes to the code for the gadget and checked it to make sure it works. if you have any troubles at all, please let me know. xo

pulpo fresco
5 comments:
ahhh- one of our faves. you did this beautiful, simple dish justice. i think the key is using really good extra virgin olive oil and the lemon. just a burst of acid is all you need. beautiful pics.ReplyDelete
if you haven't tried pulpo a la gallega, you should - (obvious pimping of our recipe - http://www.weareneverfull.com/pulpo-a-la-gallega-pride-of-galicia/). it's really delish.
You know I've been sitting on pictures of an octopus I purchased and cooked weeks ago...ReplyDelete
you're reminding me to get that posted.
It was so good.
I did a slow roast. We dipped it in melted butter.
I think next time I'll try your approach to it.
Looks so good~!
hi kathleen please send me the post when it's posted. love to see it.ReplyDelete
I love octopus! I'm always too afraid to make it at home though... this looks like a nice and simple method, though.ReplyDelete
hi kirby, i hope you try it. it's really simple and super delicious. i'm actually thinking about going to the market and get me another pulpo soon!ReplyDelete

Freeland removes benefit from police pension ordinance
In order to comply with state law, Freeland Borough Council has removed a "killed-in-service" benefit from its police pension ordinance.
The state now funds a killed-in-service benefit under Act 51 of 2009. That legislation provides a benefit equal to the monthly salary of the deceased officer, adjusted annually for cost of living. The benefit is payable to the deceased's surviving spouse or, if there is no surviving spouse, to the deceased's minor children under the age of 18.
In other police business, council:
- Promoted Senior Patrolman Matt Williams to sergeant.
- Decided to advertise for additional part-time officers at a salary of $14 per hour.
- Announced that the full-time officers have agreed to switch to Geisinger from Blue Cross for health-care coverage. Council President Robert Quinn said the switch will save the borough $20,000 to $24,000 annually.
Snow ban
Council approved revisions to the snow ban ordinance.
According to the amendment, during an ice storm or snowstorm, parking will be prohibited on the odd-numbered side of the street in an odd-numbered year and on the even-numbered side of the street in an even-numbered year until plowing and salting is completed.
Other business
Council also:
- Adopted the earned income tax ordinance, which retains the current rate of 1.5 percent.
- Adopted the flood plain ordinance as mandated by the state.
- Voted to pay $5,000 toward the 2012 tax anticipation note.
- Decided to request proposals for a $100,000 general obligation note with a five-year term for repairs to the district court office, the demolition of the former Pittman's furniture store building and the purchase of a parking lot near the borough building.
The meeting was continued to 7 p.m. Nov. 19.

Extra Credit for Thin-ness
Have you guys heard of the 60 Minutes a Day of Play campaign? It's actually an NFL movement to get kids to include more, well, movement in their day without labeling it "exercise."
According to NFL.com, its intent is to help kids get in 60 minutes of "play" by participating in fun, physical activity for an hour each day in order to combat childhood obesity.
I think it sounds like a pretty stand up program if you ask me. Get some public figures who kids idolize to encourage it, and it might just work!
However, what I think is an absolutely horrible idea to get children to exercise?Basing exam grades on slimness.
Pierre Dukan, the nutritionist for the Dukan diet is suggesting to give students extra credit for being slim.
The plan calls for high school students to be allowed to take a so-called "ideal weight" option in their final year exams, the "baccalaureat", under which they would earn extra points if they kept a body mass index (BMI) of between 18 and 25.
Those already overweight at the start of the two-year course would score double points if they managed to slim down over a period of two years.
headdeskIs it just me or does that not sound like an eating disorder waiting to happen? Um, yeah…I like the play time campaign better.
All that said, 15 years ago (15 years?!) when I was in grade school, my breakfast sure looked a heck of a lot worse than they do now. I've gone from a double sized cereal bowl of cinnamon toast crunch with milk to….
3 eggs w/avocado, cheddar, and sautéed mixed greens
Quite the difference, I'd say. Though I do love me some cinnamon toast crunch…
Ahem. Anyway, this breakfast is a repeater of yesterday's – the only difference today is that I added a little cheese and a lott-o avocado
I have been straight up craving eggs lately (if you couldn't tell!) Three to five a day aint no thang for me this week.
Before breakfast I got in a full body lifting workout. I did 8 exercises total in a superset style format and it took about an hour when including a dynamic warm up and a cool down/stretch. Here's what it looked like
8-Exercise Full Body Workout
Dynamic warm up: walking lunges, monster walks, inch worms, high knee pulls, then…
|Back Squat
|Incline Press
|Front Squat
|Seated Row
|Sumo Deadlift w/ DB
|Over Unders
|Barbell Hip Thrusts
|Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns
Now I'm off to take Niko for a walk before getting ready for work. Have a good one, guys
What was your typical grade school breakfast? Typical breakfast now?
