TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida State wide receiver Rashad Greene is day-to-day after injuring his finger during practice.
Greene walked off the practice field Monday along with a trainer, and coach Jimbo Fisher says the junior is day-to-day. Greene led the 11th-ranked Seminoles in all receiving categories last season with 57 receptions for 741 yards and six touchdowns.
Florida State already has lost two backup receivers in the preseason. Senior Scooter Haggins has a stress fracture in his knee, and Willie Haulstead was declared academically ineligible and is no longer a member of the team.
Another senior, Greg Dent, was charged with sexual assault in June and is not able to practice or play while the felony charge is pending.
Florida State opens at Pittsburgh on Sept. 2.

Family Court seeks child advocatesTraining sessions Oct. 11, Oct. 25, Nov. 15
The Court Appointed Special Advocate Program of the Family Court is expanding its efforts to represent the interests of abused and neglected children. The program is seeking qualified adults to serve as CASA volunteers.
CASA volunteers are trained members of the community who are appointed by Family Court judges to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court proceedings. As an official of the court, the CASA volunteer conducts an independent investigation into the child's life and provides information and recommendations to the judge. CASA volunteers collaborate with attorneys, social workers and family members to reach the goal of a safe and permanent home for each child.
CASA volunteers have varied professional, educational and ethnic backgrounds. They are selected on the basis of their objectivity, competence and commitment. Casework supervision is provided by full-time program coordinators while program attorneys provide legal advice and represent the CASA in court proceedings. Each volunteer accepted into the program must complete all three half-days of initial training.
The next training session is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Friday, Oct.11; 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 25; and 12:30 to 4:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 15 at Family Court in Georgetown. Completed applications should be submitted well before the first training date so program officials have ample time to process. Those who cannot attend this training session will be able to schedule another one after January 2014.
In 2012, Sussex CASA volunteers handled 121 cases, advocating for more than 163 children. While these statistics are impressive, many of Delaware's abused and neglected children still have no independent voice in court.
For more information about becoming a CASA, contact Lauren Brueckner at Sussex County Family Court CASA program, 302-855-7410 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

We admit that the U-turn Dress ($266) is rather intimidating upon first look. Before you run away with your arms flailing in the air, just imagine all the jaws dropping around you once you have it on. This dress is attention grabbing not only for its dangerously plunging neckline, but also for its meticulously hand-beaded embellishment. A more modest twist on this dress would be a simple tank or bandeau top layered underneath.
This dress might be a little problematic for anyone above an A cup...
I agree with Amy, no amount of double-stick tape could keep me in that dress, and I'm not a busty girl by any means.
Somebody needs a hamburger, STAT!

The governor says the new pension law is already paying off for Illinois taxpayers.
Gov. Pat Quinn says this is from the sale of $350 million in construction bonds, priced to yield 5.65 percent, which will cost the state $20 million less over the 25-year life of the bonds than a comparable sale in April. He says this kind of thing is to be expected.
"If we did something really hard, and erased a $100 billion liability, that would help our state economy, help our jobs, help our opportunity to save taxpayers money, so I think that's a very important thing," he said.
The pension law may not stand up in court, and the 2011 income tax increase expires at the end of next year – in the middle of the next state fiscal year – so the state budget is still a foggy situation. Quinn says he'll be putting together a budget proposal shortly, but for now, he wants to focus on the holidays.

Westbury firm's right on track with F1 team order (From This Is Wiltshire)
Westbury firm's right on track with F1 team order
4:00pm Friday 4th July 2014 in By Wiltshire Times Reporter
Specialist firm Spectra, based on the West Wilts Trading Estate in Westbury, has built a new mobile HQ for the Williams Martini Racing F1 team ahead of this Sunday's British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The company has been building the giant motorhome since January and employed 14 lorries to transfer it to Silverstone to be installed for the first time for drivers Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa and the rest of the team.
The building, sponsored by Martini, will be taken apart and rebuilt as the team travels to other European circuits.
It includes offices, meeting rooms, a kitchen, a roof terrace and a two Michelin-starred restaurant, and Chris Murray, head of marketing at Williams, said: "The structure is unique, being built to our specifications."
Engineering firm and coachbuilder Spectra has been established since 1987 and has previously designed and built a range of products for airlines, broadcasting companies and exhibitions.

The United States hailed ties with its oldest ally France as a success on Thursday, brushing off a spat in which US tire-maker Titan mock French workers as work-shy.
This week, in a letter to France's indutry minister Arnaud Montebourg, Titan chief executive Maurice Taylor claimed the lazy "so-called workers" at a loss-making tire plant in northern France only work three hours a day.
He mockingly rejected the idea his firm might invest in the plant and won a sarcastic reponse from the minister, who boasted that France's Michelin tire giant is 20 times bigger and 35 times more profitable than Titan.
The row caused a sensation in Paris, but in Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland insisted the testy exchange was a "private matter" and not a concern between the United States and its "oldest ally" France.
"We have deep and broad relations, including many successful American businesses operating in France, many successful French businesses operating in the United States," she added.
"As allies, we continually strive to keep our markets open to each other and to have both of our populations benefit from strong, robust trade both ways."
Though historic allies, the French and the Americans have a long history of both mutual admiration and distaste.
In one of the strangest recent chapters, the US Congress officially renamed French fries "freedom fries" in congressional cafeterias in 2003 in response to France's opposition to the proposed US-led invasion of Iraq.
The run-up to the war and its aftermath also saw a prolonged episode of France-bashing in the United States, but ties have since warmed markedly.
Asked whether she considered French workers to be "lazy," Nuland responded: "I have a personal soft spot for France. I think I'll leave it there."

Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a restrictive weight loss surgery performed by removing a portion of the stomach reducing the stomach to about 25% of its original size. This creates food volume restriction to effectively feel satisfied on less calories. The larger curve of the stomach is sectioned off and removed leaving a sleeve or banana shape from the esophagus to the intestines. The surgery permanently reduces the size of the stomach and is not reversible.
Sleeve gastrectomy can provide an effective tool to lose weight and keep it off. Like the gastric bypass, weight can be lost quickly and reliably without the additional costs of adjustments. And, because the procedure is most often performed laparoscopically, recovery time is minimal.
Weight loss surgery is an effective tool used to lose weight and keep it off. Lifestyle change is necessary to optimize success and keep weight off. If you qualify for gastric sleeve surgery, you must attend orientation classes and a personal evaluation session. In addition to individual counseling from our staff, you will meet with support groups to share experiences and challenges. For your convenience, all support groups and follow-up appointments are held in the St. Mary's Weight Management Center.
Attend one of our free information sessions, held at the Weight Management Center located at 950 S. Kenmore Dr. in Evansville, to learn more about our surgical weight loss options.
Sessions are scheduled the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. Please contact our office at (812) 485-5858 to sign up or click "Free Info Sessions" the button at the right top of the page..

Item #5062
Edible at any stage, this easy to grow plant forms a neat, low-growing rosette of lobed, dark green leaves with a peppery flavor that's sharp but not overpowering. Cut seedlings for micro greens, pick individual leaves as needed for salads and sandwiches, or harvest entire plants for a pot of cooked greens. Grows best in the cool weather of spring and fall, in sun or partial shade. Very hardy.
This packet sows fifteen 10-foot rows.
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost. In USDA zones 8 or warmer, sow in fall for winter and spring harvest. Sow every two weeks for continuous harvest.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Harvesting: Harvesting of baby leaves can begin as soon as the true leaves appear. Snip off with a pair of scissors. Entire plants can be harvested about 7 to 8 weeks after sowing. In mild winter climates, it's best to harvest during the cooler parts of the year. Plants growing in the heat of summer, or plants that have bolted (produced a flower stalk) may be too bitter to eat.

At Sea
Andrea Repositioning November 2008
Kevin's lecture on seabirds this morning was quite fascinating but I am still not sure if I could tell one booby from another.
One has to be careful about food as the dining room staff are so attentive and determined that we should all leave the ship far heavier than when we boarded. The food is plentiful and diverse with several choices of entres and mains and always a vegetarian selection. Desserts are wicked. Beer or wine is served free of charge with lunch and dinner and even though the wine is not of connoisseur quality, it is pleasant enough. If one chooses to drink something of a better standard, they are available at a reasonable price.

The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry's goal is to discover therapeutic agents that are both safe and effective at treating or preventing diseases. Compounds identified as selective and potent in the early drug discovery phase are progressed to preclinical drug development for further evaluation. It is estimated that over 10% of drugs fail in clinical trials due to pharmacokinetic reasons (1), and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines emphasize the identification of metabolic pathways, relevant metabolites and potential drug-drug interactions for new chemical entities (NCEs) where metabolism is the principal route of elimination (2) Consequently, drug metabolism studies are a critical constituent of any drug development program.
The primary site of metabolism for many drugs is the liver. Liver-derived systems such as liver slices, sub-cellular liver fractions, and intact hepatocytes are typically utilized to assess the metabolism of NCEs. Intact hepatocytes contain the cytochrome P450's (CYPs), other non-P450 enzymes, and phase II enzymes such as sulfo- and glucuronosyltransferases, and thus represent a prime model system for studying drug disposition in vitro (3). NCEs can be screened and rank-ordered according to metabolic half-life estimates or in vitro intrinsic clearance values (Clint,in vitro) obtained from metabolic stability studies. Moreover, metabolic screening assays enable drug developers to focus on the improvement of compounds through structural activity relationships (SAR) and prevent the progression of labile compounds to more costly in vivo studies. Given that cryopreserved hepatocytes retain enzymatic activities similar to those of fresh hepatocytes and offer convenience to the end user (4), the utility of cryopreserved hepatocytes in efforts to define a drug's disposition in vitro is advantageous as compared to other model systems.
Important notes
- Review this protocol to ensure y ou have all the necessary reagents and equipment prior to starting the procedure. Once thawed, cryopreserved hepatocytes must be used immediately and will not maintain viability if refrozen.
- Use universal safety precautions and appropriate biosafety cabinet when handing primary hepatocytes.
Critical materials and reagents
- Cryopreserved hepatocytes for suspension use, such as Life Technologies Cat. No. HMCS1S or HMCS2S (check website for additional catalog numbers), enough for 6 x 106 cells per plate
- Williams' Medium E, 500 mL, Life Technologies Cat. No. CM6000
- Hepatocyte Maintenance Supplement Pack (Serum-free), 1 kit, Life Technologies Cat. No. CM4000
- 12-well non-coated plates (Greiner Bio-One, Cat. No. 665 180 or equivalent).
- 15-mL conical tubes (1 per compound)
Compound stocks: test articles (TA) and positive controls (PC). Suitable positive controls may include:
- midazolam
- phenacetin
- testosterone
- dextromethorphan
- (S)-mephenytoin
- 7-hydroxycoumarin
- Stop solution
- 37°C water bath
- 37°C / 5% CO2 humidified incubator
- Orbital shaker placed inside incubator
Advanced Preparation
- Prepare Incubation Medium by combining Hepatocyte Maintenance Supplement Pack (Serum-free) with Williams Medium E per kit instructions, and warm to 37°C in a water bath. At least 5 mL of Incubation Medium will be needed per test article and control.
- Prepare compound stocks: test articles (TA) and positive control(s) (PC) dissolved in an organic solvent such as methanol or DMSO to desired concentration, such as 1 mM.
- Prepare hepatocytes immediately prior to assay, diluted to 1 x 106 viable cells/mL in Williams' Medium E supplemented with Hepatocyte Maintenance
- Supplement Pack (serum-free). Useful references:
- Protocol for Thawing and Use of Plateable and Suspension Cryopreserved Hepatocytes
- Protocol for Counting Primary Hepatocytes using Trypan Blue Exclusion Analysis
- www.lifetechnologies.com/hepatocytes
- In separate conical tubes, add the test compounds and positive control(s) to warm Incubation Medium to yield the desired working concentration(s). For example, prepare 2 μM by adding 10 μL of 1 mM test article stock solution to 5 mL of Incubation Medium. Note: if DMSO is used as a solvent, the concentration should not exceed 0.1%, with a maximum of 1% in the final Incubation Medium.
- Pipette 0.5 mL of Incubation Medium containing the test article or positive control into respective wells of a 12-well non-coated plate. See Figure 1. Note: Final substrate concentration will be 1 μM once step 6 is complete.
- Place the plate in the incubator on an orbital shaker to allow the substrates to warm for approximately 5-10 min prior to initiation of the reactions.
- For the negative control, boil 1.0 x 106 viable hepatocytes/mL for 5 min to eliminate enzymatic activity. Use enough volume to cover the number of negative controls desired.
- Remove the 12-well non-coated plate containing the substrates from the incubator.
- Start reactions by adding 0.5 mL of 1.0 x 106 viable cells/mL in each appropriate well of the plate to yield a final cell density of 0.5 x 106 viable cells/mL. Pipette 0.5 mL of the inactivated hepatocytes into the negative control wells.
- Return the plate to the orbital shaker in the incubator and adjust the shaker speed to 90-120 rpms.
Remove well contents in 50 μL aliquots at time points 0, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min.
- Additional time points 180 min and 240 min may be included, but should not be necessary for healthy and metabolically competent hepatocytes to detect high turnover compounds.
- In abbreviated screening assays where only two time points are used to assess NCE metabolic stability, it is strongly advised that a 0 time point and a secondary time point up to 120 min is selected.
Stop the incubations by addition of sample aliquots (e.g. 50 μL) to tubes containing the appropriate quenching solvent and either freeze at -70°C, or directly extract as per analytical methods.
Table 1 — Incubation conditions.
Working substrate concentration Working cell density Amount of working substrate per well Amount of working cells to add Final substrate concentration Final cell density Incubation volume Amount of quenching solvent 2 μM 1.0 x 106 cells/mL 0.5 mL 0.5 mL 1 μM 0.5 x 106 cells/mL 1.0 mL 50 μL
Figure 1 — Example of suspension metabolism study design using a 12-well format.
- Determine the in vitro half-life (t1/2) of the parent compound by regression analysis of the percent parent disappearance vs. time curve.
- Intrinsic clearance in vitro (Clint in vitro) can be calculated according to the equation: Clint in vitro = kV/N, where k = 0.693/t1/2, V = incubation volume (1 mL) and N = number of hepatocytes per well (0.5 x 106 viable cells).
- Clint in vitro may be scaled to in vivo predictions according to Obach (5) and McGinnity (4).

The LOCKSS Program, Stanford University Libraries and The CLOCKSS Archive Support "Long-tail" Publishers
Communities using the LOCKSS Software have collaboratively passed an important milestone and are now preserving over 1000 "long tail" journal publishers, smaller publishers who have ten or fewer journals. Content from these publishers are most at-risk for loss, making preservation vital to guarantee future access to the material for research and teaching.
Tuesday, February 23, 2016
A faculty-led project developed by the Stanford Libraries' Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Research (CIDR) was recently featured in Stanford Report, which describes it thus: "...a digital humanities project led by Stanford historian Tom Mullaney is creating a map that illustrates the ongoing and multifaceted impact of funeral reform and grave relocation in China. In the last 15 years, grave relocation has been taking place in China on a massive scale. To date, some 15 million deceased people's remains have been moved." CIDR developers David McClure and Karl Grossner, together with a small SUL team, have been working on the project with Professor Mullaney over the past 18 months, and Mullaney presented a synopsis of the project at the Stanford Libraries' annual donor event in October, 2015.

Just diagnosed with CVID, could they be wrong?
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I a 37 year old nurse. My doctor sent me to a rhumatologist because of weakness and pain in my joints. She did blood tests and found my immunoglobulin A to be 27 and immunoglobulin G was 400. I also have vitamin B12, D and potassium deficiency. I am extremly tired and my body aches if I do anything physical. I went to an immunologist who said I had CVID. He wants me to start IV treatments in two weeks and I am worried what to expect. Does anyone know how often this is misdiagnosed? What should I expect from the treatment? My family thinks they are wrong because I "dont seem sick to them" It is very frustrating and is happening so fast I would love someone to talk to who has been there. thanks!

I can't give you much information as I'm new here also and undiagnosed so far.
I'm wondering what the normal ranges are listed as for the test results you gave?
Also, did the immunologist do other tests specificlly to see if you produce antibodies to certain vaccines?
|View More Posts Ignore
Hi, I know that the normal range globulin A is 81-463, and globulin G is 694-1618. They did test for antibody vaccines and I am loosing them. I am no longer immune to mumps, measles or hep B. Being a nurse, I have had all my innoculations this year, but my recent titers came back negative. Did you have the same results? Do you know your globulin numbers? I am lucky to have a great doctor that gave me 4 pages of my blood work and the normal ranges for each test. Let me know what yours are.

Hi again,
I'm going to repost my first post here for you. I posted it a while ago and haven't had a response. I don't think this board is very active though you may find it different since you have a diagnosis. I am waiting to see an immunologist at this time so I'm still kind of in limbo. Since I havent seen the immunologit yet I haven't had the antibody testing.
From what I've read many people do very well on th IVIG treatments and feel much better.
I'm searching for a more active forum to try and get some help. I will let you know if I come across anything.
Here's my first post and info:
Hi all,
I am a 41 year old woman. I've been unwell and on disability since my early 20's. I have a diagnosis of CFIDS and Dysautonomia.
I have a teen daughter who is on homebound education with very similar symptoms to mine. I'm desperately trying to find a diagnosis and help for the both of us.
My health fluctuates. I go from bedridden to almost feeling completely well and back again. I'm in a down turn at the moment and trying to keep a positive outlook. It's not easy sometimes.
When I'm feeling poorly I suffer with severe fatigue, chills, night sweats, excessive day time sweating though no real fevers, headaches, swollen lymph nodes, yeast infections (chronic), chronic UTI's, muscle pain, severe joint pain, diarrhea for the past 2 years, 30 lb weight loss, nausea nd lack of appetite, orthostatic hypotension (my BP drops when I stand or sit too long causing fainting) and just general malaise.
My PCP gives me Nystatin and Diflucan for the yeast and that's about it.
He's done numerous workups which haven't found much of anything. I do have an enlarged spleen and Mitral Valve Prolapse and anemia.
About 10 years ago I was given 5 courses of IVIG. My doc said this was to help with the CFIDS. I did not note any improvement.
At my urging he agreed to send me to an immunologist. I just feel that I really need to find out if there's something that can be done since my daughter also suffers. If there's anything I can do to help her I will do it.
My doc gave me blood test results to bring along. The results of which are below (abnormals are *'ed:
IGG Subclass 1 365 (Normal 344-966)
IGG Subclass 2 164 (Normal 133-622)
IGG Subclass 3 40 (Normal 12-138)
IGG Subclass 4 1 (Normal 1-115)
IGG Totl 595 *(Normal 600-1600)
IGG Subclass 1 499 (Normal 344-966)
IGG Subclass 2 192 (Normal 133-622)
IGG Subclass 3 71 (Normal 12-138)
IGG Subclass 4 2 (Normal 1-115)
IGG Totl 741 (Normal 600-1600)
IGG Subclass 1 449 (Normal 423-1112)
IGG Subclass 2 148* (Normal 149-586)
IGG Subclass 3 40 (Normal 29-142)
IGG Subclass 4 1.3 (Normal 1-187)
IGG Total 611* (Normal 700-1500)
Immunoglobulin G 819 (Normal 700-1500)
Immunoglobulin A 94 (Normal 60-400)
Immunoglobulin M 65 (Normal 60-300)
I also had a bone marrow biopsy a few years ago to rule out Leukemia. The biopsy showed absent stainable iron and "a diffuse polyclonal reaction to all antisera".
Basically, what I'm hoping is that maybe someone knowledgable could look over these results and give me an opinion?
I could of course, just take the CFIDS diagnosis and leave it at that but I want to make sure i've explored every avenue.

Hi again,
It dosent look like your globulin numbers are that low but I would push your doc to find you an immunologist. From what ive read people with this show all different kinds of symptoms. Have they checked your thyroid funtion or done a CT to look for nodules? That would explain your night sweats, weight loss,sweating and swollen lymph nodes.At work I have seen alot of people with orthostatic bp, unfortunitly we put them on meds and send them home to see their PCP before a we find a cause. I know how you feel about your daughter, Yesterday my kids had to be tested for cvid it was hard to tell them that they may have to have infusions for the rest of their life. Its a shame this board isnt active, if you find a better one please let me know and I will do the same.

Hi I was diagnosed with CVIDS in 1995. I have Kaiser Permenente Insurance in California. My blood tests came back as showing the normal range for IgG is 768-1536 mine is negative34, for IgA results normal is 139-347 mine is negative 7.0 for IgM normal is 68-190 mine is 8, I have been receiving infusions of gammaguard for last 15 years on and off. Have worked great for me, no side effects. I would not predict any unless you have other issues happening.

I am surprised that you have negative numbers. That makes me wonder if mine are low enough to need the infusions. This whole thing caught me by surprise, they were looking for arthritis or a connective tissue disorder. I dont have to many health issues. Mitral valve prolapse, and my joints pop in and out of place, and a herniated disk in my back, I am just weak and tired alot. Im not worried about my insurance I work at the hospital so im covered for the teatment.

Hi again Sloane. What I know about having CVIDS is that is presents with chronic upper respiratory infections, because all the immunoglobulins that you are low on, fight off any invading bacteria that penetrates mucus membranes and causes infection. That's what CVIDS does. The joints and muscles could be caused by something else, but whatever you do you MUST be treated by a competent immunologist, don't rely on a PCP or a hematologist.
|View More Posts Ignore
I saw one immunologist but I did have my PCP set me up with another one for a second opinion. The first one I saw scared me. I went in there thinking I had MS which was the doctors initial thought and came out having CVID. I dont think im that sick. I have my share of colds and flu but I work full time and go to school at night and take care of two teenagers. From what ive heard people with cvid are sicker than me. I think im going to hold off on the treatment until I get a second opinion. Did you see more than one doc?

January 02, 2013Reviewer: Sandra in IowaTastes just like regular licorice. Kids can't tell either.
October 12, 2012Reviewer: JEAN in ArizonaI missed Twizzlers when I went low carb. Now I eat these all the time! Even my son, who hates most sugar free things, enjoys them. Soft, sweet, chewy. I do have to watch how may I eat - or I go over my carb limit. I order these almost every time I place an order, especially since they are hard to find anywhere else.
June 09, 2012Reviewer: Caterina in IllinoisNow, I'm not going to pretend it's healthy, but boy is it good. The taste is excellent, I can't tell it's not the real thing, and the texture/mouth feel is fab. It really shows they can make a great sugar free candy.
November 22, 2013Reviewer: Pamela in IllinoisA great alternative to the real thing and great for low carbers/diabetics. I LOVE These! Hard to tell the difference and there's no weird after taste.
November 06, 2013Reviewer: Whitney in WashingtonI'll admit that it's been years since I've had 'real' Twizzlers, so it's a little tricky to compare the two.
I tried both these and the SF vines, and these were the winner.
These guys are good (dangerously so!), but not perfect. It's a little bit harder then I would have expected, and almost 'dry' in taste.
With the high malitol, sensitive stomachs won't be able to take much. And at 11 carbs per serving (just under 2 carbs/pc), low-carb dieters will have to settle for just a few to stay in allowances.

MANCHESTER, N.H.- Just a week after winning by a razor-thin margin in Iowa, polls released this morning show current front-runner Mitt Romney holding a considerable lead over his GOP rivals.
According to the latest polls released this morning, Romney's standing is averaging 40 percent, with his rivals lagging behind leaps and bounds from his standing in Iowa, where he skirted past former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum in Iowa by a mere 8 votes. Polls show Mitt Romney headed for a blowout victory in the New Hampshire Republican primary. According to the Suffolk University Poll, released earlier this week, Romney earns 43 percent, with Ron Paul in second 14; Gingrich at 9; Huntsman at 7; and Santorum at 6. Indeed, nearly every poll conducted this cycle has shown Romney with a double-digit advantage.
Though his opponents have attacked Romney's position, alleging that he "puts politics first", the attacks have done little to halt his stride, as he glides through the debates unscathed. Similarly, the Republican Primary Projections Released by the NYTimes show Romney with 98 percent chance of winning.
Mr. Romney's standing will be solidified on Tuesday, in what will be the First primary of the Republican nomination process. As the solid favorite, all eyes will be on his opponents, jockeying for the spot of chief rival.
All eyes will definitely be on New Hampshire, as the candidates attempt to derail Romney, who for all intensive purposes, is right on track for the Republican nomination.

LONDON, UK. 29th April 2014: In many ways, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are the first step on the road to semi-autonomous or fully-autonomous self-driving and driverless vehicles. Visiongain's analysis indicates that the global automotive ADAS market will reach $18.2bn in 2014, up from $16.5bn in 2013. Visiongain assesses that the market for automotive ADAS will record double-digit growth throughout the period 2014-2024 as ADAS becomes an increasingly strong product differentiator and assists in the development and acceptance of autonomous self-driving cars
The visiongain author of the 188 page report Automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Market 2014-2024: Precursor to the Autonomous Self-Driving Car commented that:
''In 2014, Park Assistance, Rear-View Cameras, and Adaptive Front Lights applications dominate the ADAS market however, the penetration into passenger cars is relatively low despite the increasing rate of installations into the premium car manufacturers.
The automotive ADAS market will be driven by the reduction of ADAS end-user application' prices, the positive impact of government regulation for safety and the convergence of consumer demand towards semi-autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles. These factors will enable a shift in the ADAS supply towards volume auto OEMs particularly in Europe and Japan. Additionally, they will create a favourable environment for the adoption of semi-autonomous or fully-autonomous vehicles close to the end of the forecast period.''

The unaware presidency of Barack Obama
Earlier today we posted on the CIA station chief being expelled from Germany for running intelligence operations against German targets. As incredible as it seems, Obama, according to the New York Times, was unaware of either the operations or the fact that one of our agents had been busted by German counterintelligence. This is a sad and continuing trend in this administration. Whenever anything blows | Read More »

Falling Into Wagner's Burning Ring of Fire
PARIS—The Paris Opera's first full production of Richard Wagner's four-opera "Ring of the Nibelung" since 1957 comes to an end with "Götterdämmerung" ("The Twilight of the Gods," or "Le Crépuscule des dieux"), which opened last week at the Opera Bastille.
As with the preceding episodes, this final installment met a divided response from the opening-night audience: enraptured applause for the cast and especially for conductor Philippe Jordan and the Paris Opera Orchestra; and thunderous booing for director Günter Krämer and his crew.
In fact, the production is extremely tame compared with the over-the-top, incoherent camp and kitsch of the previous episodes. Gone are the rubbery, bare-breasted fake torsos, the guerilla commandos in balaclavas, the jolly Valkyrie nurses scrubbing up bloody nude male cadavers, the garden gnomes and stands of marijuana plants. The Rhinemaidens in their pink-sequined mermaid gowns with strategic red pasties appear in a cameo flashback, but otherwise the sober stage is mostly dark, with minimal furnishings on a revolving floor and a tall, grid-like frame for video projections and a final, garishly violent video game. Costumes are sober too, dark suits and ties and simply cut medieval gowns in black or white. Except for a brief rainbow shower of ribbons and a silly whirl of beer-hall waitresses in dirndls, there is almost no color, and no relation at all to the rest of this Ring.
In "Siegfried," the heroic knight of the title rescued Brünnhilde, a sleeping Valkyrie magically imprisoned in a ring of fire by her father Wotan. They married, and Siegfried gave his bride the ring of the Nibelung, made of gold originally stolen from the Rhine.
In this final chapter, he leaves contented hausfrau Brünnhilde at home as he pursues a knightly quest that takes him to the castle of the Gibich: Gunther, his sister, Gutrune, and their villainous half-brother Hagen, who concocts a plot to marry Gutrune to Siegfried by giving him a magic potion that will make him forget Brünnhilde and fall helplessly in love with her. But the ring is a curse on all who possess it, and the betrayed Brünnhilde wreaks vengeance by conspiring with Hagen, resulting in Siegfried's death and the beginning of an all-too-human end for Wotan and the other gods of Valhalla.
Tenor Torsten Kerl continues as a lyrically gifted, if romantically inept and generally clueless, Siegfried, and soprano Katarina Dalayman remains a powerhouse in the huge and taxing role of Brünnhilde. Lovely mezzo-soprano Sophie Koch does a splendid, intensely affecting star turn as the distraught Valkyrie Waltraute—a role that might be too big for her voice. Bass Hans-Peter König offers a gloriously sung Hagen, as dynamic as he possibly can be while confined to a wheelchair pushed around by baritone Peter Sidhom's diabolical Alberich. And for Mr. Jordan and the Paris Opera Orchestra, this "Götterdämmering," like this entire Ring, is a triumph.
Until June 30

Fewer New Yorkers smoke than a decade ago and die from smoking-related illnesses. Between 2002 and 2009, smoking rates dropped 27%, representing 340,000 fewer smokers and 6,300 lives saved. Smoking-related deaths fell 17% in the same period, from 8,700 to 7,200.
Despite our successes, smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in New York City, responsible for 1 in 3 preventable deaths and 1 in 7 deaths overall.With a third of the city's 950,000 current smokers expected to die prematurely and as many as 18,000 high school students still smoking, it is clear that more in tobacco control and prevention must be done, including promoting and increasing the use of cessation treatment.

BJP's Rashtriya Ekta Yatra: Heading In Wrong Direction
BJP fascination with Muslims, Kashmir, Pakistan and Yatras is never going to end. Latest in the series, Rashtriya Ekta Yatra, is heading towards Kashmir for hoisting flag in Lal Chowk, Srinagar on 26th January.This time flag hoisting is planned when normalcy has just returned to valley after weeks of unrest. BJP Rashtriya Ekta Yatra should have headed to North East instead of North West. China has become very aggressive in North East India and specially Arunachal Pradesh. All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) has decided to protest "humiliation" meted out to sportsmen by boycotting the Republic Day celebration and all function of national importance. China's "Map World" is showing Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin- two area in dispute with India – as part of China. George Fernandes had suggested that China must be perceived as a threat by "any person who is concerned with India's security." Robert Blackwill have said "China using Pakistan to slow India's rise". BJP narrow vision is not doing any good for the country and such narrow vision is not expected from a national party which has ruled India for six years. Continue reading

From Rimland To Heartland: BJP Squeezing To Centre Of Power?
In the earlier decades after independence it was often felt that the political party, which controls the heartland states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and even Madhya Pradesh, rules the country. Now just opposite is happening. The party or group of parties, which are ruling India has virtually no base in the heartland of the country. In fact the Congress party is in power in bordering states of Assam, Rajasthan and in the coastal states of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. The party is prominent opposition in the coastal Kerala and Karnataka, where it has the potential to stage a comeback sometimes in the future. Continue reading

In 2006, the whole gaming world was shaken by the release of the Nintendo Wii. Since then, motion control was on everybody's mind. A few years later, Sony released its own version, the PlayStation Move. Like Nintendo's approach, the Move requires the player to hold at least one controller. It has a glowing ball stuck on one end of the remote detected by a camera below the TV, while the Wii uses an infrared light above or below the screen detected and tracked by a camera in the Wii remote.
Microsoft also released its Kinect for the Xbox 360, which, after its first financial quarter in the market, became every PC hacker's favourite due to a series of wonderful Kinect hacks coming out of the release of an open source community driver. These Kinect hacks seem to have made Sony jealous. Sony's Dr. Richard Marks intended to give PC hackers access to every level of the Move hardware. They announced the Move Server Project, Move.Me to make it possible for the academe and hobbyists to develop software using the PlayStation Move controller on their own PCs. Rather than running directly on PC, Move.Me involves a special server on PS3 that records the actual input registered by the Move and transmits this data over a connected computer via network connection.
Move.Me library C was skillfully used by a guy named Jacob Pennock and constructed motion-controlled mouse driver for Move. He declared that control motions are transmitted through a recognition library called "hyperglyph" that records movements 98 percent accurate. Although Pennock hasn't publicly released the code to his Move Linux mouse driver, his videos of using Move.Me software is described on his site. Some of the gestures include, launching Facebook with an "F", starting videos with a "V", and closing items with an "X". Move.Me does not directly run on computers. It involves a PS3 server that records actual input by the Move and then transmits data over a computer via LAN.

I have a scenario in which I need to replace the nth sub-string in a string.
s/sub-string/new-string/g; will replace all the sub strings, but I need to do for a particular occurrence.
Please help me with this.
This question might be interesting: Perl regex replace count
You might do something like this:
For replacing the nth occurrence of a string using
For replacing the substring, we need to know what you want to replace. Give an example.
Try this:
adjust 2 according to your needs (it's your 'n'- 1). Note that there may no separators exist between those substrings. e.g. 'abcabcabc' would work but 'abcdefabcabc' won't
You can also do like this
I'm really a believer that there's no point building extra complexity into a regular expression unless it's truly necessary to do so (or unless you're just having fun). In code I actually planned to use I would keep it simple, like this:
Using the
This approach eliminates an explicit counter (though the for loop is essentially the same thing without naming a counter variable). This approach also scales better than a
In a previous question on the same topic I once embedded a counter in the left side of the s/// operator. While it worked for that specific case, it's not an ideal solution because it's prone to being thrown off by backtracking. That's another case where keeping it simple would have been the best approach. I mention it here so that you can avoid temptation to try such a trick (unless you want to have fun with backtracking).
The approach I've posted here, I believe is very clear; you look at it and know what's happening: match twice, keep track of last match position, now match a third time with substitution. You can have clever, you can have efficient, and you can have clear. But sometimes you can't have all three. Here you get efficient and clear.

Titan Group announced today that after 20 years at the helm of Titan America, Aris Papadopoulos will be retiring from the position of CEO, effective August 1, 2014. He will become Executive Chairman of ST Equipment & Technologies (STET), reporting to the Group CEO and will also serve as an advisor.
Commencing with a 1994 joint venture with Roanoke Cement, Papadopoulos led Titan America through a growth trajectory that included the acquisition of Tarmac America and Separation Technologies, modernizing the company's two cement plants, numerous operational expansions and multiple concrete acquisitions.
"During Aris' tenure, Titan America grew from a cement JV in Roanoke, Virginia, to the preeminent East Coast construction materials producer," commented Papalexopoulos. "Aris, more than anyone else, has shaped Titan America over two decades."
Bill Zarkalis, Group CFO since 2010, will succeed Aris. Bill joined the Group in 2008 as Director of Business Development; he previously held executive positions at Dow Chemical. As CEO-designate, Bill will work closely with Aris to ensure a smooth transition. Michael Colakides will become Group CFO, effective May 16, 2014.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition: The Lampe Family
January 09, 2011 06:58 PM by Candace Young
Ty Pennington begins tonight's episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition on ABC by saying this week is about being tough – and trees. Jeff Lampe has had to cut back drastically on working in his tree business due to an untreated hernia, which has created a decline in income. This means no money to repair the rotting in the house. In spite of their situation, the family still teaches teens wrestling at home in Kentucky. Read on for details of the home makeover…
Ty and the Extreme Makeover Home Edition design team set up cameras to ambush the Lampe family on a trip to the movie theater. They sit down to watch a film, and UFC fighter Randy Couture appears on the screen, followed by Ty who shouts his trademark greeting on the bullhorn! Jeff Lampe is emotional and tells Ty how relieved he is – it's awesome. The builders from Elite Home tell Jeff it is an honor to work on their new home.
The family takes the design team on a tour of their Louisville Kentucky home and property, including the dilapidated garage that has been converted to a wrestling training facility.
The design team members get to know the children, who range in age from 4 to 17, including youngest daughter, Angela, who suffers from Down Syndrome and needs a safer space of her own. Jeff talks about feeling like he's let down his family, but can't ever quit. Ty announces that the family is going to Walt Disney World in Florida.
Jobs are delegated and plans are made to move the foundation of the new house further up the hill to avoid flooding. Ty contacts the Lampe family in Florida so that they can watch the destruction of the old home – it's a lumberjack demo! Jeff Lampe wishes he was there!
Construction of the new house gets underway. Ty assigns Paige and Ed to build a treehouse as well! Paige says they'll go extreme. They find a master treehouse builder to weigh in on their concepts. At the main build, everyone works on ideas for bringing the outdoors inside for the nature-loving Lampe family.
Ty explains that they also want to help out the Lampe family business – he works on a fabulous new sign. Paul visits the school connected to Jeff's wrestling. They contact the family, who get to hear the boys thank them. He tells Jeff to look to his left – his inspiration, wrestler Dan Gable, appears! Jeff and the kids get to run through some moves with Dan.
Back at the site, Olympic gold medal winner, and professional wrestler, Kurt Angle, is introduced. He will help out with the design of the new training facility at the Lampe family build.
Before long, Ty has the keys and the furniture is being moved in. The Lampe family arrives on the scene in their limo. The crowd chants, "Move that bus." When they see their new home, the Lampe family is in disbelief at the sight of the beautiful log cabin-style structure. Jeff and his family thank Elite Builders, and are told that money was raised to pay off their mortgage!
Inside, the Lampe family is overwhelmed by the huge space. Ty comes in and Shelley hugs him. They all admire the family tree in the living room. Upstairs, the kids check out their new rooms. Angela's room is perfect for a little girl with Down's Syndrome and looks like a kitchen! Shelley and Jeff look at their new master bedroom – the nature theme impresses them. Ty comes to show them their new office for the business, complete with new logo. They learn that CVS Pharmacy has set up a fund to help pay off Jeff's medical debt and will pay for surgery on his hernia.
Next it's time for the Lampes to check out their backyard – with the extreme treehouse! Everyone loves the ropes, bridges, and furniture.
Last, the family goes to see their new, state-of-the-art wrestling facility. They love it. The wrestlers they teach are brought in, and everyone gets busy. Jeff Lampe talks about giving back.

Pardon for posting this a little late but if you've haven't been up to date with the going-ons of GTA4, we got a treat for you.
Microsoft is hosting an Xbox LIVE sweepstakes for GTAIV. The grand prize will be a trip for two at the Grand Theft Auto IV launch party in New York City. (No word yet if the party will serve free booze and hookers with burly russian dudes as security...) Unfortunately for the canucks and brits, this giveaway is only available to US residents.
Here is a full list of the prizes you can win from signing up.
Also, it appears the page for the sweepstakes is down. Be patient as it seems it's from a service overload.
Add Me on MySpace if you're so inclined...
QUOTE (Heartless on GTA4.TV)
Unlike the mainstream forums, we're gritty, crazy sociopaths. And still approved by Rockstar. Most GTA Sites cater to a younger, softer audience (Zidane?), as opposed to this forum, which caters to bi-polar grandmothers with too many cats (Pyro?).

Incumbent 26th Judicial District Attorney Schuyler Marvin today announced he will run for a third term in the fall. The 26th Judicial District encompasses Bossier and Webster Parishes.
Marvin was first elected as a Democrat on November 5, 2002 in a runoff election against Republican Mike Boggs. In 2008, Marvin, who had changed to Republican, was unopposed for a second term.
Republican Whit Graves last week announced he will oppose Marvin in the November election, but no other candidates have come forward.
In announcing his candidacy, Marvin said in the past 12 years his office has prosecuted "thousands of criminal cases and hundreds of juvenile cases," adding that his office has tried more than a hundred jury trials. Marvin said his office has collected and returned to businesses and individuals more than $3.4 million in hot checks. In addition, he said more than $2.1 million has been distributed back to law enforcement agencies in funds and property taken from criminals, as well as collecting and distributing more than $1.8 million in restitution funds.
He also pointed to technology advances that include a wireless video link between the crime lab in Shreveport and courtrooms in Benton; securing funding for video conferencing to avoid security risks; and placed juveniles on home detention using an electronic voice recognition system.
Two retired judges are now on the DA's staff, Marvin said, and full-time investigators who work exclusively on hot checks are now part of the staff, as well as a violent crimes unit.
Juvenile diversion programs and teen court have been successful, and the district attorney's office has sponsored a number of workshops and seminars for the public, Marvin said.

Powwow revels in spotlight status
PONCA CITY — T.L. Walker can finally let the good news out: The Standing Bear Pow Wow is one of the top events in North America. The powwow, which will begin its 14th year Friday, was named one of the top 100 events by the American Bus Association. Although Walker, who is the executive director at the Standing Bear Native American Memorial Park in Ponca City, didn't need a list to tell her that, it doesn't hurt to have the accolade. "I've been sworn to secrecy for months," she said Wednesday. "We could not be more excited about it." Officials with the state Tourism and Recreation Department asked Walker to submit a nomination for the powwow. She didn't think the nomination had a prayer and was overwhelmed when told it made the list. The list is made so travelers can plan their calendar a year in advance. Though the event was placed on the 2008 list, this year's edition starts Friday. The top motor coach and group travel companies consult the association when planning where they will book travel, said Lindsay Vidrine, spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. A panel of travel professionals from the United States and Canada select the events. The Prix de West Invitational Art Exhibition at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City was also in the top 100 for 2008. The yearlong Oklahoma Centennial celebration was recognized as the top event in the United States for 2007.
'An incredible event'What's unique about the Standing Bear Pow Wow, said T.L. Walker, is that it's the only event where all six Ponca City area tribes (Kaw, Osage, Otoe-Missouria, Pawnee, Ponca and Tonkawa) come together. She said the Standing Bear Native American Memorial Park is fortunate to be surrounded by other attractions, including oil barons' homes and museums. "There are just so many elements to this that I think that's what made this nomination possible," she said. "It's an incredible event." The powwow is surrounded by shade trees in a beautiful Oklahoma autumn background, she said. The event is also true to tribal traditions, she said. It includes gourd dancing and a princess competition. About 150 tribal representatives and community volunteers staff the event, which is free and open to the public. Between 3,000 to 6,000 people are expected this year, Walker said. If you go: This year's event starts at 6 p.m. Friday and will end about 11 p.m. Saturday at the intersections of U.S. 60, U.S. 77 and U.S. 177. For more information, call (580) 762-1514.

Anyone recommend any charter captains in Riviera Maya. I will be there next week and will be looking to do some fishing.
Anyone recommend any charter captains in Riviera Maya. I will be there next week and will be looking to do some fishing.
I out of peurto adbentures wit i belive captian rick i f you do a web search alot will come up. when you get to your hotel check with them you will get better rates ..my trip was 90 for all day off shore for marlin we got 3 then recked fish for yellowtail the rest of the day one of my best trips ever
Im heading to Playa De Carman in April and have contacted Capt Rick for a morning trolling and an afternoon of wreck fishing, please post your report.
Jamaican Princess Sport Fishing
Point Pleasant, NJ
I was down there last spring. Hired a local on the beach with a panga. For $125, caught a dolphin, had a shot at a sail, and when we drove over some interesting structure on the reef I stoped him, grabbed a mask, and went in. From talking to others that ponied up for a real boat, it seemed no one else did better; most worse. I dont know that you have to go all out on a sportfish charter to catch or have fun.
Thanks everyone for the responses.
I'll post a report when I get back under this original post.
Fished with Capt. Rick.
Trolled about 500 yards from the beach and didn't have a sniff in about 250 ft of water. Seas were pretty ruff even that close to the beach...5-6 footers every few seconds. We didn't do any bottom fishing as it was hard enough to hold on without having a rod in your hands.
Trip was for 4 hours, but we got tired of getting beat the hell up and a couple of the guys got sick so I told the mate to head to the barn a little early. Not the top notch fishing center that people claim they are. The mate was rigging ballyhoo with hooks and leaders he pulled from a bucket with rust all over them and God only knows how old the leaders and knots were. The teasers looked like they were found in the garbage can. I don't even think the boat had electronics other than a vhf.
It's funny, the guys at the dock that sell you the trips are American; however, the mate and captains barely speak English.
We have our 48 Ritchie Howell ( Reel Passion )down in Isla Maujures and have been running a few charters. The fishing has been very good by all standards except for air temps which have been unseasonably cold ( 70's ). We mainly fish for sails and use the same techniques as practice for White Marlin. Charters / flights and lodging are reasonable and we will be there until 4/01....If interested in chartering we can be flexible on times and pick up in cancun.
joe d sorry to hear about your trip..i was looking at ricks also for the 1st week of april and wasabi loco charters i guess ricks is out did you hear anything about wasabi or can you suggest a boat for me and my family to fish on... we will be at sandos in playa del carmen
If I'm not mistaken Capt. Rick's operation uses a few boats and captains, and in my limited experience fishing with them years ago, it was certainly nothing special. They're sort of a tourist trap...
I'm sure where I stayed, the bottom fishing at least would have been productive. It was just a real bad day to go out considering the wind and the direction it was blowing out of. I should have known the conditions were not going to be favorable when I saw the red flags blowing on the beach indicating ruff surf advisory . Live and learn.

Jan. 31, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Markel Brown scored a career-high 30 points to lead Oklahoma State over Texas Tech 80-63 on Tuesday night.
The sophomore went 7 of 12 from the field, including 3 of 6 from beyond the arc, and didn't miss any of his 13 free-throw attempts.
Le'Bryan Nash scored 16 points for the Cowboys (11-11, 4-5 Big 12).
Keiton Page and Cezar Guerrero missed the only free throws in the game for the Cowboys, who made 33 of 35 overall.
Jaye Crockett scored 16 points, Robert Lewandowski added 14 and Ty Nurse chipped in 12 points for the Red Raiders (7-14, 0-9), who tied their worst start in conference play since 2000.
Nurse extended his streak of consecutive free throws made to 27 straight. For the season, Nurse has connected on 49-53 free throws (92.5 percent).
Crockett also had a career high 14 rebounds to secure his third double-double of the season and the fourth of his career. He leads the Red Raiders in scoring and rebounding in Big 12 games with 11.1 points and 7.0 rebounds an outing.

Try again. Since 10 is evenly divisible by 2, you simply need more precision. For example, 1/32 is exactly representable in decimal as .03125.

Of course, since they often deal with such numbers. Currency amounts are almost certainly the most common example.

Hurdle is a former Major League Baseball outfielder whose 10-year career was spent with the Kansas City Royals, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals. After retiring from playing baseball, Hurdle became a manager. His eight seasons with the Colorado Rockies included leading his 2007 club to the franchise's first National League pennant.
On Nov. 14, 2010, Hurdle was hired as the manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
In 2007, Hurdle managed Colorado to its second best finish in the team's 15-year history (only topped by the 2009 season) by winning 13 out of the last 14 games in order to force a tie-breaker game with the San Diego Padres to determine the winner of the National League Wild Card. The Rockies continued their improbable streak by sweeping Arizona in four games to win the first National League pennant in team history and reached the World Series where they lost to the Boston Red Sox.
After interviewing with both the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Mets for their vacant managerial positions, Hurdle was hired by the Pirates on Nov. 14, 2010. Hurdle then agreed to a three-year contract, keeping him with the team through the 2013 season.
At the 2011 All-Star break, Hurdle had led the Pirates to a 47-43 record, one game out of first place in the NL Central. It was the first time the Pirates had been over .500 going into the All-Star break since winning the 1992 National League East. At the 2012 All-Star break, Hurdle had led the Pirates to a 4837 record, leading the NL Central division by 1 game over the Cincinnati Reds.
Hurdle is married and has three children.
