Oh hey look, I'm actually making a post about Edreoll with new screenies.
So anyway, Edreoll went through a rewrite yet again, following the older format of how it worked in the early development download. However, several changes have been made for simplicity's sake.
* The world is split into 12x12 maps (20x20 grid to equal 400 maps in the worldmap total).
* The screen is not going to scroll. Instead, players traverse through these maps with warptiles just off sight of the viewable map. The screen will fade to black, and then will fade back in when the player has warped to the new map.
* Players no longer have the ability to level up abilities. Instead, they can however upgrade stats, Life, and AP with gained experience.
* Classes will influence stat points on a linear level (Fighter = +2 STR, etc)
* The player must travel through the world to find the eight Elemental towers and defeat each of their guardians in order to obtain new abilities and class armor.
* After defeating the eight elemental guardians, the player will then require travel through the four realms (Physical, Spirit, Void, Pure) and best the guardians of their respective realm (gives 2nd tier class abilities/armor).
* After besting the realm guardians, the last four temples will become available for the last four elements (Special Elements) Time, Space, Chaos, and Balance. These will also give 2nd tier abilities/armor.
* A trip through the Voidal Realm lies the 2nd and final bosses: Curse Sorcerer and Curse Dragon. Defeating the final boss will grant the player max stats and unlimited AP.
* After 'beating the game' the player has the option to rebirth in which case the player restarts the game with a title and special item "Soul of Arsap" which allows the player to use to auto-revive if fallen (the player must recharge the item thereafter).
* The player may have up to 5 Souls of Arsap (extra lives) and therefore can rebirth five times.
* Stat-levels max at 10. Stat increments per level :: LP/AP = 5 :: STR/MND/AGI/ARM = 3.
* Max stat power (LP/AP/STR/MND/AGI/ARM) = 100.
* A wide set of hotkey-usable abilities, weapons, and consumables will be created to enhance the experience of Edreoll.
So, that's pretty much the entire concept of Edreoll in a nutshell. Easy, simple, and enjoyable. It's so much easier to complete, and I can actually see that light at the end of the tunnel now.

Many applications require fast data transfer over high speed and long distance networks. However, standard TCP fails to fully utilize the network capacity due to the limitation in its conservative congestion control (CC) algorithm.
Many approaches have been proposed to improve the connection's throughput by adopting more aggressive loss-based CC algorithms. These algorithms, although can effectively improve the link utilization, have the weakness of poor RTT fairness. Further, they may severely decrease the performance of regular TCP flows that traverse the same network path. On the other hand, pure delay-based approaches that improve the throughput in high-speed network may not work well under the environment where the background traffics are mixed with both delay-based and greedy loss-based flows.
We propose a novel Compound TCP (CTCP) approach, which is a synergy of delay-based and the loss-based approach. In CTCP, we add a scalable delay-based component into the standard TCP Reno congestion avoidance algorithm (i.e., the loss-based component). The sending rate of CTCP is controlled by both two components. Augmented with this new delay-based component, which rapidly increases sending rate when network path is under utilized but gracefully retreats in a busy network when bottleneck queue is built, CTCP has very good bandwidth scalability with improved RTT fairness, and at the same time achieves good TCP-fairness, irrelevant to the windows size.
The novel Compound TCP has the following properties:
- CTCP can efficiently use the network resource and achieve high link utilization.
- CTCP has the similar or even improved RTT fairness regarding to regular TCP.
- CTCP keeps good TCP-friendliness.
Compound TCP has been shipped in Microsoft Windows Vista and later Operating Systems.

Raney is a friend of my dear friend Elizabeth, and she's getting married in September in Tennessee. As far as the wedding goes, Raney's way more excited about being married to the love of her life than planning all the details – which, if you're going to be excited about one or the other, is definitely the way to go. And there's people like me who love the details, so that works out well! I hope this board is helpful to you, Raney!

The summer has started, since last saturday temperatures finally reached 20 °C and up. How we've been looking forward to that! And after all the busy garden work I finally find the time again to write something in my journal…
Much has been going on, lots of seeds have been sprouting and the plants have gone into the ground, the tomatoes and peppers have been planted outside, just like all the other frost tender crops which I've been holding in the greenhouse for now.
And my garden is under attack: birds keep taking the onion seedlings out of the ground, slugs have eaten all my newly plante iceberg lettuce and aphids are creating havoc in my greenhouse. My fellow gardeners are advising me to spray pesticides but in my first year I'd like to learn as much as possible about 'the natural way' of things, so I'll definitely not resort to the use of chemicals. I did cover more crops with nets against the birds and I've been busy collecting ladybugs and released them in the greenhouse. Hopefully they'll find the aphids very appetizing….
I've also started a couple of interesting trials: I started a 3-sisters plot with Sugar mais, a climbing bean and pumpkins to cover the ground. The beans are nowhere to be seen yet but the maize and the pumpkin are growing well…
Then there's the Ianto's polyculture trial. It consists of growing all kind of crops intermixed, the crops can be harvested at different moments in time. There's Radishes, several kinds of Lettuce, Marigolds, Dill, some beans and some cabbages.. So far the cabbages are growing nicely and the seeds are slowly coming up. Everyday this plot gets a little greener….
And then I finally managed to get hold of some Goumi plants (Eleagnus Mulfiflora) this is a nitrogen fixing shrub with edible berries… Supposed to be a very good companion plant with fruit trees. The Goumi's are still very small now but I'm so looking forward to how it will all develop and grow!
I'd seriously stay away from pesticides. They do way more damage to the whole system at large than the manufacturers want us to know (I found a video about that, posted it in my 30 May entry). Great that you resorted to let ladybugs do their thing :-))

Fans of Cars2 will want this large Mater Bubble Blower when they see it in the store. Unfortunately, we found that the bubble blowing aspect of this toy doesn't work as well as we had hoped. You have to push pretty hard to get some bubbles to come out the side of Mater. While we applaud the battery-free aspect of this toy, it would have been more pleasing if the bubbles came out of the top and were more plentiful. Our parent testers also did not like that the bubble solution drips easily out the side of the toy when you pick it up ("solution is really sticky when it pours down your leg!").

It is Finished !
Thank you to the original artist of this illustration. I found it on the Internet and searched everywhere for the artists' name with no luck. I hope if you see this, you will not begrudge its use for this banner in our church. The image of Jesus throwing His head back and laughing with joy struck such a chord in me! and made me think He may have felt that way when his really hard work of Redemption was DONE ! Thank you, unknown artist, for the image! and thank you , Lord, for our redemption!

I thought I would share my experiences so as to prevent others from going through needless hand wrenching ...
I was having difficulty getting calendar syncing to work both ways ...
The problem was related to the way ZCO uses the MAPI/CDO libraries.
The ExchangeCDO install (.MSI) places by default the cdo.dll into "C:\Program Files\ExchangeMapi"
by copying the cdo.dll to "C:\windows\system32" and registering the dll via "regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\cdo.dll" (and renaming the cdo.dll in the ExchangeMapi directory),calendar syncing both ways started working.
There were many errors in the logs re:
- CDOCalendar::Initialize - Error in call m_spCalendarFolder = m_spCDOSession->GetDefaultFolder
In addition, look in the BES MAGT log for
- [30000] (09/09 21:04:06.125):{0xF5C} [ENV] CDO.DLL: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cdo.dll, Version: 6.5.8039.0
this ensures the environment is correct.

Sales of previously owned homes fell by more than expected in October, possibly due to delayed foreclosures and as banks imposed "overly strict" lending standards, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday.
Sales fell 2.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual unit rate of 4.43 million units from September's 4.53 million unit pace, the group said. Economists polled by Reuters had expected existing home sales to fall to a 4.49 million unit pace in October.

Next Update: 6:00 AM PhT (22:00 GMT) Tuesday 05 November 2013
The broad and strong disturbance (LPA) over the easternmost Caroline Islands which has intensified yesterday into a Tropical Depression (TD)...is now a strong Tropical Storm, internationally named HAIYAN (a Chinese word for Petrel, a kind of seabird). Dynamic Forecast Models indicate a dangerous Typhoon which could become a Super Typhoon...moving towards the central part of the Philippines...with a possible landfall over Eastern Visayas (Samar-Leyte-Masbate Area) on Friday, November 8. Residents living along the eastern seaboards of the Philippines from Northern Quezon...Bicol Region...down to Northeastern Mindanao should pay attention on the approach of this potentially destructive cyclone. Plans for emergency situation and/or disaster planning is a must as the storm is only 4 days away from hitting land.
Residents and visitors along Northeastern Mindanao, Visayas, Bicol Region and Eastern Luzon should closely monitor the development of Haiyan.
Do not use this for life or death decisions. This update is intended for additional information purposes only. Kindly refer to your national weather agency for official warnings, advisories or bulletins.
As of 7:00 pm today, the center of TS Haiyan was located over the central part of the Caroline Islands, just west of Chuuk State...about 865 km south-southeast of Hagatna, Guam or 2,645 km east-southeast of Samar, Philippines...currently moving west-northwest with a forward speed of 28 km/hr towards Yap State in Western Micronesia.
Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) are at 85 km/hr near the center with higher gusts. Tropical Storm Force Winds (63-117 km/hr) extend outward up to 85 kilometers from the center. TS Haiyan is a small-sized tropical cyclone with a diameter of 445 kilometers across.
TS Haiyan is expected to continue moving slightly westerly during the the next 24 hours...with a west-northwest turn through 48 hours. On the forecast track, the core of TS Haiyan will passing just to the south of Yap State on Wednesday evening.
TS Haiyan will gradually intensify within the next 24 to 48 hours as the system moves over the warm open waters of the Western Pacific Ocean...and could become a well-developed Typhoon on Tuesday. Advance Intensity Forecast (AIF) shows its 1-minute maximum sustained winds increasing to almost 200 km/hr on Wednesday afternoon.
The following is the summary of the 2-day forecast outlook and an extended 3-day forecast on this system:
TUESDAY EVENING: Strengthens into a Typhoon (Category 1) as it heads for Yap State...about 665 km east-southeast of Colonia, Yap [8PM NOV 05: 7.2N 143.7E @ 130kph].
WEDNESDAY EVENING: Becomes a Category 3 Typhoon as it passes to the south of Yap State...about 105 km south-southwest of Colonia, Yap [2PM NOV 06: 8.6N 137.8E @ 195kph].
THURSDAY EVENING: Moving across the Philippine Sea as a Category 4 Typhoon as it dangerously approaches Eastern Visayas...about 670 km east-southeast of Borongan City, Eastern Samar, PH [8PM NOV 07: 10.3N 131.4E @ 215kph].
*Please be reminded that the Forecast Outlook changes every 6 hours, and the Day 2 and 3 Forecast Track has an average error of 100 and 250 km respectively...while the wind speed forecast error, averages 35 kph per day. Therefore, a turn to the left or right of its future track and changes in its wind speed must be anticipated from time to time.

House Directors
Many Kansas State University fraternity and sorority chapters employ house directors. House directors, or housemothers, as some chapters call them, typically live in the chapter facility to help manage chapter employees, care for the chapter home, and serve as a mentor for chapter members.
House directors play a crucial role in supporting young adult members. House directors may serve as the mom away from home, lead the chapter in etiquette and social graces, counsel a member through difficult personal issues, and serve as the chapter's biggest cheerleader at campus events like Homecoming, Greek Week, and intramurals.

LMS girls top Moultonborough in tournament final
- Published in Local Sports
It was a victorious weekend for the Laconia Middle School girls' A basketball team, as they won all four of their games and improved their season record to 21 wins and 4 losses. The weekend culminated with the Lady Sachems winning the Lakes Region Invitational Basketball Tournament for the second consecutive year, held Saturday and Sunday at Winnisquam High School.
The fun started on Friday at the Middle School, as Laconia avenged two previous losses to Merrimack Valley by defeating them 36 to 31. Amelia Clairmont led the victors with 20 points (including a pair of 3 pointers). She also had six steals and eight rebounds. Delia Cormier had 8 points and Bella Smith 5 points. The win by Laconia was Merrimack Valley's only loss of the year.
The contest was very tight through the first three quarters as Merrimack Valley lead 17 to 15 at the half and 29 to 26 after three quarters. Laconia then proceeded to outscore their opponents 10 to 2 in the final quarter to spur the victory.
Hannah Dow came off the bench in the fourth quarter and scored a fast break layup and also caused four key turnovers that were all converted into Laconia field goals.
On Saturday's first round game of the Lakes Region Invitational in Tilton, Laconia beat Franklin by a score of 36 to 31. Leading scorers were Amelia Clairmont and Bella Smith each with 10 points, Delia Cormier and Emma Schumacher had 4 points. Beka Howe, Victoria Dean, and Delia Cormier contributed with solid defense , as Laconia's pressure on both ends of the floor was instrumental in the victory.
In Sunday's semi-final game, Laconia defeated Gilford 38 to 13. Leading scorers were Amelia Clairmont with 17 points, Bella Smith 13 points, Delia Cormier 4 points, Kenzie Bartlett 2 points, Skyler Tautkus and Delaney Ross each with 1 point. Lindsey Drouin had 10 rebounds, while Smith and Clairmont each had 6 steals for the victors.
In the afternoon final, the Lady Sachems beat Moultonborough by a score of 42 to 23. Clairmont and Smith again were the leading scorers with 13 points and 10 points respectively. Also chipping in for Laconia were Emma Schumacher with 6 points, Delia Cormier 4 points, followed by Lyndsey Drouin, Devon Mello, Beka Howe, and Delaney Ross each with 2 points. Delia Cormier also contributed 9 rebounds along with Clairmont's 7 boards.
Laconia looks to finish their season in strong fashion during the February school vacation in the Bow Invitational in two weeks.

Like most people,Eisenberg tried retirement. Didn't like it. For roughly 10 years, when he wasin his 70s, he traveled around the world, played golf and tennis, and enjoyedgame fishing. Those are the kinds of things most people dream about, but soonEisenberg was bored, and when he received a call to go back to work at Zabin asa consultant in 1979, he jumped at it.
Zabin Industriesmanufactures and distributes zippers and notions for the garment industry, afield often thought of as a game for the young. It is a fast-paced businesswhere the demands and products change seasonally. It might be tempting to thinkthat Eisenberg, who was a cofounder of the business in 1954, was brought back asa figurehead, but he's not about to be put on a pedestal. Alan Faiola,president of Zabin, says, "He wants to be treated as a friend, not an icon. Ifyou don't let him be involved, it doesn't make much difference. He'll getinvolved."
As a young man,Eisenberg attended New York University and studied pre-med. Then came World WarI, and he was drafted into the Army. After his service, he entered the garmentbusiness, where he built his long career.
Eisenberg has strongfeelings about the place of older workers in our society. "They can serve wellbeyond the ages they're retired. Most of them have the ability to do it, andthe desire.
"One deterioratesso quickly doing nothing," he says, "and I call fishing and playing golfdoing nothing. You get bored with it."
Alan Faiola creditsEisenberg's long, successful career to his attitude. "Here's a guy whoalways looked to the future. That's the thing that probably keeps him mentallysharp. He always talks about what's going to happen, what lies ahead.
I learned more aboutwhat Robbie did in the last 50 years from this award he receivedthan I ever learned from him."
Even at the age of102, Eisenberg is still looking ahead - and still has a great sense of humor.When asked how it feels to be the oldest worker in America, he replies, "Allright. I only hope I can continue to be!"

DIY Monday: Tie dye jeans
Today, I'll be showing you how to tie dye your jeans. Of course, by now, you've probably found it elsewhere, but still… I thought it was fun to share this one with you! Let's get those hands dirty!
Step 1: You'll need a few things to make this DIY work! So look for a pair of jeans you'd like to give a second chance of showing that booty of yours! Fill a bucket with some water and add some whitener. The amount is up to you, I added quite a lot to make this work, but like I said: it's up to you Next you'll need a pair of plastic gloves because bleaching can be a b*tch! Grab a few elastics and keep following instructions….
Step 2: For a nice tie dye effect, putting the pants in a bucket with some whitener will not be enough. You'll have to wrap the jeans in every way possible and secure those small parts with some elastics. Start at the bottom of your pants and wrap it all the way up! The places you can't see, the whitener can't reach. Are you getting excited already?
Step 3: It's time for some action. You'll have wrapped the jeans with a few elastics and put on those gloves already… So now, do it! Put those pants in that freakin' bucket! Make sure they stay under, because they tend to float around… I filled another bucket with some water and put in on top to make sure it stays where it needs to be. Now leave them in there for as long as you want, as long as you like the result!
Step 4: After all the running back and forth to the bucket, you can finally take those pants out of the water, let them dry, maybe wash them first… and then you can flaunt them jeans, Isabel Marant style! I can not assure you it will go as quick as it seems but you'll love the result! What I can tell you is that you have to choose a thick pair of jeans because the ones I'm wearing here are in fact jeggings, of which the fabric is not very strong… That results in a few holes here and there, hihi!
Have fun and let me know how it turns out ^^

Just four days after being tabbed the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week, junior guard Xavier Silas collected another honor from the league office, as he was recognized as the MAC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Week for the period ending Dec. 27, 2009.
Playing his first home game of the season against Maryland Eastern Shore on Dec. 22, Silas scored a game-high 19 points, going 7-for-7 from the free throw line, and pulled down seven rebounds, in Northern Illinois' 18-point (87-69) win.
The Huskies have played three games since then, including wins over North Dakota (1/2/2010) and Chicago State Wednesday night on the road. In NIU's current four-game stretch, Silas is averaging 23.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting nearly 46 percent (.459) from the field, and 84 percent (.839) from the free throw line.
Silas, a Colorado transfer, currently leads the Huskies 18.3 points per game, and has led NIU in scoring in six-of the seven games he has played in. He carries a 3.353 grade-point-average in Northern Illinois' media communications curriculum.
The Huskies (4-8) will travel to Muncie, Ind., and Worthen Arena, to open MAC play at Ball State (6-6) Saturday (Jan. 9) afternoon beginning at 1 p.m. The game will be televised on mynetworkTV in Rockford (channel 16 on Comcast cable) through the Ball State Sports Network.

Irina tutored my son for SAT and ACT testing. He was having a difficult time with math and she really helped him. He has always had difficulty with standardized tests as he tends to panic and not finish. She helped him to learn to slow down, relax and work the problem. We saw measurable improvement in his score after Irina worked with him for just a few sessions. My only complaint is that I didn't find her sooner! You won't go wrong with Irina.
Very helpful and knowledgeable abut the GRE! I have a very short time frame before I take the exam and I wish I had approached her sooner!
Irina has been tutoring me to prepare for the GRE. I have learned so much from her and she has been beyond helpful. So happy I met her! Highly recommend her if you are struggling in math, and reading.
Irina left a great first impression. My 17 year old son had his first SAT lesson with her yesterday. She is knowledgeable and patient! So far she gets the highest mark!

Thanksgiving and Christmas 2012 present unique challenges for Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli. How will the couple, who announced their split in March, ensure their three daughters have a happy holiday season in a whole new way?
"This is my first shared holiday," Jennie Garth recently told Us Weekly of gearing up for her first Thanksgiving without her husband of 11 years. "Their dad and I are hammering out the details of that, which is weird."
The 40-year-old mother of Luca, Lola and Fionna said of the kids' schedule, "They're actually gonna be with him for Thanksgiving and I'm gonna be with some friends, and then I get to have them for Christmas."
"We're gonna do our Thanksgiving on Saturday," Jennie Garth, pictured here dining with her three daughters in August, continued. "I'm gonna make a whole meal, have them go shopping with me and help me bake everything, and my mom and her husband are gonna come over."
"For Christmas, it's all about baking cookies — anything sweet! — and then giving them out to the teachers and crossing guard guy," the actress added, looking forward to the fast-approaching holiday. "…today I realized that Christmas is around the corner! I'm gonna get back from Thanksgiving and it's three weeks away!"
As someone who is hosting both Thanksgiving (for my family) and Christmas (with the in-laws) this year, I've got a bit of the time's-running-out panic as well. Funnily, I do find I'm able to relate to Jennie Garth's holiday shuffling despite neither being divorced no having parents or in-laws who are divorced.
Last year, everyone simultaneously bent over backwards to make Thanksgiving easier for everyone else, leaving a gaping hole. My mother-in-law moved their celebration to Friday, while my own mother moved hers to Saturday! On the holiday itself, we were left with no one. I think we made nachos.
Do your holiday celebrations include schedule shuffling, as Jennie Garth is doing this year?

Full SubmissionInternational Environmental Law and new sovereignty (Proposal for Rio+20 compilation document) by Dr. Xabier Ezeizabarrena1 (Phd Law, University of the Basque Country), Abstract This proposal tries to underline the international general experience on Environmental disputes within the contexto of Rio+20 process, in particular from the point of view of concerned individuals and NGOs. In this sense there is a need for international alternative settlement of environmental conflicts. However, states and their subdivisions are reluctant to submit themselves to such adjudication, especially in the relationship with individuals and NGOs. Although one may safely state that the international law of the environment is on the road to strengthening the role of non-state actors, there is still a long way to go before Access of these actors to international adjudication will be fully recognised. Therefore, there is real need worldwide for an open debate and proposal on an international forum for making available the need for international resolution of environmental disputes. The pending international challenges on Climate Change would find here another reason to push forward in terms of international solidarity and new sovereignty on environmental matters. Environmental Rights as a Key Point of the Rule of Law During the second half of the 20th century we have seen the development, either under international or domestic laws, of certain ethical and political parameters and rules called human rights. The development of human rights law is demonstrated by the establishment of, for instance, the European Court of Human Rights2 (ECHR) and the provision, in many constitutions, of systems for an effective judicial protection of these rights. The purpose of environmental rights law is to reach certain common legal grounds to achieve a similar international framework of law for sustainable development. Reality, however, demonstrates otherwise. Subject to a few exceptions, national courts do not assume the existence of the required customary or principles of international environmental law necessary for individuals, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and municipalities to derive claims from their violation. Judicial Protection of Environmental Rights Existing mechanisms The current lack of judicial protection of environmental rights by recourse to national courts is not compensated through the availability of international judicial review. There are various international dispute settlement mechanisms which address environmental issues in specific contexts, such as the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, the Court of Justice of the European Community (CJEC) and the ECHR. In addition, there exists an environmental chamber of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), though it has not often been accessed by governments for a variety of reasons. Furthermore, decisions of the World Trade Organization?s (WTO) dispute settlement bodies may also affect environmental matters. The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) is also actively working in this field during the last years. Need for international arbitration and conciliation and eficient enforcement of international environmental law One of the main tasks of institutionalised arbitration and conciliation of environmental disputes is to protect the rights of peoples to an adequate environment by granting individuals and non-governmental organisations Access to justice. Arbitration could also develop a substantive right to a healthy environment based on existing international human rights, principles previously mentioned, as well as statutory law applicable under the relevant conflicts rules. This would comprise prevention, restitution and compensation of environmental harm. The deficit analysis presented above clearly shows that individuals and NGOs are not adequately protected in international environmental disputes. Their role must be strengthened in order to achieve sustainable development. This proposal argues that there is a need for international enforcement, arbitration and conciliation on environmental international matters. However, the relative success of international courts dealing with environmental issues does not mean that every single petition reaches the final procedural phase misleading, in many cases, the real protection of environmental rights. Therefore, new concepts of sovereignty within a general proposal of international environmental justice should be fostered within the international arena. The path forward The experience of the enforcement International Environmental Law in general shows that from the point of view of concerned individuals and NGOs, there is a need for an international alternative dispute settlement mechanism to deal with environmental conflicts. However, given their relationship with individuals and NGOs, States and their subdivisions are reluctant to submit themselves to such adjudication. Although one may safely state that the international law of the environment is on the road to strengthening the role of non-state actors, there is still a long way to go before the Access of these actors to international adjudication is granted full recognition. In light of its flexible procedure for issuing consultative opinions, its independence and broad scope of legitimacy, there is a clear space to offer an open study and debate on the necessity of an international forum for the international resolution of environmental disputes. In terms of Human Rights this proposal would become a clear example of an open field within the law for sustainable development which is open for new developments. Once again in this context, international law seems to start assuming a shifting process within the concept of sovereignty. Thereby, the system could take advantage of this sort of procedures whenever the involved parties may assume the voluntary jurisdiction of a real international universal jurisdiction. This challenge is nowadays a key element for the development and real enforcement of the whole principles and rules of sustainable development, even for the direct protection of individuals or collective rights of legal persons. Therefore, we have a pending challenge open towards and within Rio+20 context.

Our research lab is focused on understanding the role of host responses in the pathogenesis of viral infections, with a substantial effort devoted to investigating the impact of neuroinflammation on CNS viral disease and in promoting recovery from brain damage. We use a mouse model of herpes encephalitis to study the impact of specific immune components of the virus-induced inflammation cascade on neurogenesis in the adult brain. We also investigate immune responses to viral infections in farm animals, most notably swine. Using these animal models, we study mechanisms of disease and emergence of novel viruses like swine influenza virus and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv).

Having worked with Lars von Trier on four movies to date (including the two-volume "Nymphomaniac"), Willem Dafoe is more than familiar with director's boundary-pushing narratives. After all, his character did get his balls crushed and was jerked off while unconscious until he ejaculated blood in "Antichrist." And probably for that reason alone, Dafoe believes that film mashes more controversy buttons than von Trier's newest provocation.
Speaking recently with Total Film, the actor said risky movies can still be made in today's cinematic environment that tends to favor sure things, and blockbusters. "I think there's room. Though I would say 'Antichrist' is a more dangerous, risky movie than 'Nymphomaniac,' " Dafoe said. "I like Lars [von Trier] a great deal. He has a good instinct to ask the unaskable."
We'll leave it for you to decide which of these von Trier films deserves the title of most dangerous. The one where Charlotte Gainsbourg masturbates and cuts off her clitoris? Or the one where students are graphically taught how to perform an abortion? Or maybe another movie entirely more risqué than either of them? Let us know below. [via Xposé]

The Accounting and Finance Employee Confidence Index, a measure of workers' assessment of their job prospects as well as their views on the economy, fell to a new low of 42.6 in the fourth quarter of 2008, according to the Mergis Group, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based staffing company.
Three-quarters of finance and accounting workers polled said the economy is weakening, compared with 64 percent a quarter earlier, according to the survey, which was conducted by Harris Interactive. A similar proportion of respondents said they saw fewer job opportunities in their field, compared with 55 percent in the third quarter.
The index's reading has fallen for five straight quarters after peaking at 67.5 in the third quarter of 2007, according to a Mergis Group spokeswoman.
The National Bureau of Economic Research, the nonprofit organization whose members are the semi-official arbiters of when recessions begin and end, announced last month that the current downturn began in December 2007.
Despite their generally bearish outlook, the workers surveyed were bulls when it came to their own companies. Two-thirds said they were confident of their employer's prospects, and three-quarters said they believed it was unlikely they would be laid off.
That's good news, because the share who said they weren't confident they would be able to find a new job if necessary jumped 8 percentage points from the third quarter, to 23 percent.
Companies cut some 148,000 finance-related jobs in 2008, the U.S. Labor Department reported this month. On Wall Street, job losses from 2008 to 2011 could total 82,300, according to New York City's Independent Budget Office.
The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, polled 397 accounting and finance workers. No margin of error was given.

Locked Keys In Car Who Do I Call
The question locked keys in car who do I call is a common question to most drivers. This may sound funny to some people but it the reality that we have to learn how to get round it. . This is one of the reasons that make most of the drivers have a spare key kept in a magnetic box stuck somewhere on the frame of the car. However , there are those who do not have the wisdom of doing this and therefore the question locked keys in car who do I call is a common question whose solution this article seeks to establish.
Using a wire
A coat hanger is known to provide an immediate solution when you lock your keys in your car. If your car has an old style lock, It implies that it has buttons that go up and down, a wire coat can be a suitable tool that can help you open the car and therefore the locked keys in car who do I call question should not arise. The process starts at the point where the wire is straightened and you used to unlock the car door.
If the above process does not work, it is advisable that the question locked keys in car who do I call be answered by calling the local police station. The police have the tools that can help you to unlock the car door. However, the police will only help you if you establish that you are the owner of the car and that you locked the keys inside by mistake. You may need the proof of insurance and a license and in some cases they may request for the registration. The only trouble with calling the police is that they may take up to one hour before they come to aid you.
Calling a locksmith
The other solution to the question locked keys in car who do I call can be found in the locksmiths who are near you. When you call one of them, he will start at the point where you will have to verify that you are the owner of the car and they will use an assortment of tools to have the car opened efficiently without damaging the lock or the body of the car.
Lastly, try to fold the seats so that you can crawl in to the car from the trunk and get the key. Locksmith in Greenville SC is such a company to serve you the best when you have lost your car keys our locked yourself out. Their price is comparatively lower than other company but their service is the best in that area.

sunny. i thought that they were anticipating 750bhp? if that was so, and cossie say they can deelope for 30m, then maybe they should go back to the old combined rules, ie 1.5 turbos, capped at 750bhp, plus 2.4 na, also capped at 750 bhp. that might throw up some interesting racing!
the rules have already been put back from 2012 to 2013. another delay possibly?

O'Reilly: Boston Bombing Arrests Cast Suspicion on UMass
The Factor host called for a state investigation of welfare and university precincts.
Today, three new suspects were arrested in connection to the Boston bombing. Two students from Kazakhstan are friends of bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. They allegedly threw out Tsarnaev's backpack filled with fireworks and his laptop.
"There is obviously a problem at the University of Massachusetts," Bill O'Reilly said in his Talking Points Memo. "What kind of students are they accepting anyway? Four bad seeds on campus, how many more?"
Massachusetts attracts students from all over the world. "That used to be a strength, […] but now there's suspicion, especially on the Muslim students," the Factor host said.
The Tsarnaev family reportedly received $100,000 in taxpayer-funded benefits. O'Reilly said colleges are responsible for the students they accept and states are responsible for the people they give benefits to. He called for a state investigation into what is happening in the welfare and university precincts.

The Growing Spine Foundation (GSF) was established by Behrooz A. Akbarnia, MD in 2008 to support spine-related research and education which relates to young children. The foundation's mission is to improve the global care of patients with Early Onset Scoliosis and other deformities related to the growing spine and chest through research, education and professional development.
Until recently, there were not many available options for the treatment of these young children and for the most part they had been ignored. Limited clinical studies exist, but many questions regarding prevention and treatment of severe deformities in children with immature spines remain unanswered. This group of children is often at greater risk for pulmonary complications and even premature death due to progressive scoliosis and its detrimental effect on lung development.
Under Dr. Akbarnia's lead, the Scoliosis Research Society created a Growing Spine Committee, recognizing the urgent need for both basic science and clinical research in this area. Progress is being made in getting physicians interested in exploring current treatment methods and ways in which to improve them. However, because the patient population is small, multi-center studies are required to evaluate these children more accurately and answer the clinically relevant questions. Unfortunately, grants are not readily available to support these projects due to the lack of financial incentive and ongoing issues with federal regulations related to pediatric research.
The Growing Spine Foundation supports Growing Spine research and educational projects as well supporting the Growing Spine Study Group (GSSG). With the combined efforts of the Growing Spine Study Group, data is gathered prospectively and different treatment methods from both past and present are compared. We hope to better evaluate the benefits of procedures that control scoliosis while allowing for growth of the thorax, lungs, and spine over time.
The San Diego Center for Spinal Disorders is the primary and central location for data collection for multi-center studies of GSSG. Because data such as growth measurements are so critical and since accuracy is a must, all participating spine centers are visited and monitored by physicians and researchers to assure uniform radiographic and clinical data collection and recording. SDCSD is then responsible for the quality review and management of all data.
The Growing Spine Projects also include basic science research. This includes biomechanical studies as well as animal studies, which have been underway to develop new ways to treat the growing spine with less invasive techniques. We have learned much, but have just begun to scratch the surface. Contributions to the Foundation will support continued medical education and research towards improving the lives of our young children who suffer these life threatening conditions.

If I was allowed one question of Indias Test cricketers, and was guaranteed an honest answer, I would ask Do you, deep down in your heart, believe you can win Test matches away? I wouldnt ask it out of sarcasm, or a desire to play to the gallery, I would ask it because a lot of actions emerge from true feelings. I would also ask it because I have asked it of players who travelled overseas in the late eighties and nineties and they were honest enough to say that they didnt believe they could.
But since it doesnt matter what I ask, or what I feel, it is important that someone who matters does. Eight Test matches were lost in England and Australia and if the question was indeed asked then, it remained secret. But the answer, and the resultant solution, didnt manifest itself. You could say, as Dhoni has tried to, that this is a different side, that the ageing batting line-up of those crippling losses has given way to a younger lot, and that therefore this team needs time. In fairness to that argument, India created winning positions in two of the last four tests but the ease with which those were subsequently squandered was indicative of a deeper issue.
On field battles
And so, now the hard question must be asked. And answered. And it must begin with whether or not the players, individually and as a team, genuinely believe they can win overseas; whether they respect each other enough as players to think that one of them can effect a turnaround in a Test match. Indias cricket administration, having won so many off-field battles with well planned campaigns, needs to spend a little more time in trying to win a battle on the field. For that, you must know why you are losing.
If you look at the away scorecards of matches between 2002-07, which was a good phase, some things become apparent. For a start, the batsmen made a lot of runs; it was the coming together of an extraordinary quintet of batsmen. With Dhawan, Pujara, Kohli and Rahane, maybe that phase can return though it is best not to live with such expectation. In seven Tests in Australia and Pakistan in 2003-04, India had scores of 409, 523, 366, 705, 211-2, 675 and 600! India won three out of those seven Tests but lost two and again

Also included in the festival are:
"Reading Dance": A free lecture on Sunday February 13th at 1:00. Experience a "behind the scenes" look at how contemporary dances are formed. Learn about meaning and imagery behind the choreographer's unique movement language and how the creative process is developed and refined.
Master Classes (2/12 and 2/13) by the Artistic Directors of the performing companies will be held during daytime hours of the festival in the Theater (Saturday and Sunday starting at 10:00 am.) Please call (206) 799-6004 for schedule and reservations. Classes are $18.00 each, three for $45.00 or five for $50.00.

The Performing Artists:
Spectrum Dance Theater, established in 1982, is the largest professional contemporary dance company in Washington, presenting work by Artistic Director Donald Byrd and guest artists, with a focus on Northwest choreographers. Its mission is to produce and present contemporary dance that challenges expectations and calls forth strong emotions, deep feelings and thoughtful responses. Donald Byrd became Artistic Director of Spectrum Dance Theater in December 2002. From 1978 - 2002, he was Artistic Director of Donald Byrd/The Group a critically acclaimed contemporary dance company, founded in Los Angeles and later based in New York, that toured extensively, both nationally and internationally. Byrd created over 80 works for modern dance companies, for his own group, Spectrum, and the Ailey Company as well as for Dayton Contemporary Dance Company and Philadelphia Dance Company (Philadanco). He has choreographed for classical companies, including Pacific Northwest Ballet, The Joffrey Ballet, Aterballetto, MaggioDanza diFirenze and Oregon Ballet Theater.

Wade is currently teaching for the 27th year at Cornish College of the Arts, where he is Professor of Dance. Madsen's work has been commissioned by Co Motion, Spectrum, and d-9 dance companies and most recently with Seattle Dance Project. Wade Madsen and Dancers has been producing and performing in Seattle since 1979. Madsen premiered Leaving at CHOP SHOP in 2009, a tribute in response to his father's passing.
Quark Contemporary Dance Theatre is a Seattle-based modern dance company driven to create works of dance that captivate, connect emotionally and intrigue through unique and unusual choreographic structure. Artistic Director David Lorence Schleiffers draws inspiration from his experience in musical theater, historic modern dance and contemporary dance. Through this company, he continually creates theatrical pieces which tells stories through movement. It is his artistic goal to present work that is both artistically intelligent and entertaining. Quark will be presenting Once and Never Again, which toys with organized dance structures as a means of highlighting moments of complete destruction and desolation.
Michael Rioux, Artistic Director of The Sho, is your favorite artists' favorite artist. He seriously insists that since everything is so damn serious that nothing should be taken seriously. He recently got into a Facebook argument about the existence of time. Returning by popular demand, The Sho will be performing site-specific work, People Believe Themselves, in the lobby and various locations throughout The Theatre at Meydenbauer pre-show and at intermission.

Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide
I enjoy the site very much, and we love the Dowel Barn Door! Hopefully, I will correctly post a couple of pics here and there. We live in a northwest suburb of Denver, Colorado.
I wanted to share the beautiful scenery we have every day at our flying spot. That's the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Divide in the background. Those mountains create some of craziest wind patterns in North America. Its always a challenge.
Here also, is a pic my granddaughter, Kayleigh, as we launch our "X-1 Dowel Barn Door". It was made from a $1.88 emergency blanket. It flew beautifully all of last summer.
I include a shot of Kayleigh just because she's so pretty! The line she's holding leads to an XKite Sky Diamond. They cost a buck and she has about 300 feet of line out, so all we can see is the line.
Soon we'll be flying the new X-2 Barn Door.
Thanks for being there.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (December 6, 2012) - Committed to providing exceptional services for families and children with disabilities and developmental delays, Pediatrics Plus celebrated on December 6, with a grand opening of its new 31,000-square-foot facility.
The Honorable Governor Mike Beebe served as the special keynote speaker, and was joined by Little Rock's Mayor Mark Stodola and Pediatrics Plus staff. A ribbon-cutting ceremony immediately followed.
"For the last 10 years, Pediatrics Plus has focused on improving the lives of children and their families with the goal of empowering children to lead independent, productive, and fulfilling lives," said Amy Denton, owner of Pediatrics Plus. "We are excited to bring this vision and so many opportunities to enhance our services with our new Little Rock facility."
The $7.2 million project will be able to serve over 400 children with special needs and developmental delays and their families. The 31,000-square-foot Pediatrics Plus facility houses 11 large, fully equipped classrooms; a full commercial kitchen; a library; a fully equippednurse's office; two multi-sensory accessible playgrounds; an 1,800-square-foot education and training room; and, access to more than 15,000 square feet ofstate-of-the-art therapy space and equipment, including four therapy gyms, a feeding lab, an Activities of Daily Living Suite, and 23 private treatment rooms.
In addition, the facility also features a Lite Gait Treadmill System, which is a state-of-the-art gait training system that helps children with weight bearing, posture, and balance, while allowing the therapist to facilitate appropriate movement patterns in a child's gait. Pediatrics Plus is the only private therapy provider in Arkansas to offer this kind of device.
"Our mission is to provide exceptional services for families and children with diverse abilities in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment," said Denton. "This new facility will allow us to address the individual and specialized needs of each and every child referred to our program while also building a lasting legacy and positive future for the children and families of central Arkansas."
Located at 1900 Aldersgate Road, the new facility will also offer specialty classrooms for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and social-emotional delays. Additionally, the new development offers outpatient therapy services that will serve children from birth to 21 years of age who have special needs, developmental delays, gross, fine motor and/or speech impairments, as well as any other impairment presented for which therapy is medically necessary.

When It Comes to Protecting Rivers, Who Do you Trust?
Today, the House will vote on H.R. 3189, the so-called "Water Rights Protection Act." The bill would dry up stretches of rivers and harm river restoration efforts nationwide.
The National Ski Areas Association and Aspen's SkiCo are pushing the bill, along with the Farm Bureau, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, National Cattlemen's Beef Association, Colorado Petroleum Association, and the Colorado Oil and Gas Association. In a nutshell, the bill would prevent federal agencies from doing their job to safeguard rivers, fish and wildlife.
The NSAA claims the bill would have no impact on stream health [PDF]. But the fact is, the United States Forest Service, the Department of the Interior, and the President of the United States have all declared opposition to this bill [PDF] precisely because it will harm stream health.
Ninety conservation, recreation, and sportsmen's groups and businesses – including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, League of Conservation Voters, Trout Unlimited, American Whitewater, Appalachian Mountain Club, Hydropower Reform Coalition, and OARS – oppose the bill because it will harm rivers and streams.
Who do you trust about whether or not this bill is bad for rivers? These ninety groups who care about protecting rivers and the agencies tasked with protecting rivers? Or the NSAA which has allied itself with Oil and Gas and the Farm Bureau, groups that are hardly known as stalwart defenders of natural resources?
Yesterday in the House Rules Committee, Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO), who used to support this bill, denounced it as a "job killer" because of the impact it would have on river health. And he correctly pointed out that several of the counties where some of the largest Colorado ski operations are located, including Pitkin County (home of Aspen SkiCo) oppose the bill because of the impact it would have on river health.
NSAA has also been promoting the fact that 80 percent of snow-making water goes back to the watershed. That's all the more reason that Congress shouldn't pass legislation making it easier for ski resorts to sell their water to trans-basin diverters or hydrofrackers for buy and dry schemes.
Stand up for rivers and the people and wildlife that depend on them. Say no to H.R. 3189.

More displacements have taken place in the Philippines' troubled Mindanao region following clashes between the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) and the breakaway group the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). It is believed that the fighting may have been caused by a land dispute near the town of Datu Saudi, forcing dozens of families to flee their homes for safety.
These events follow a wave of displacements in early August when up to 60,000 people were forced to flee their homes in the wake of attacks by the BIFF on the Philippines Armed Forces (AFP) in Maguindanao and North Cotabato province. In total, some 47,000 people are still believed to be displaced in both provinces, the majority living with host families.
Seven other municipalities in Maguindanao and North Cotabato provinces continue to record high numbers of IDPs . Assistance to the displaced has primarily been provided by local and provincial governments with support from aid agencies, including the International Committee of the Red Cross and the World Food Programme. According to the UN Protection Cluster, as of early September the main assistance needs concerned drinking water, toilets, food, shelter and protection. IDPs in host families, and the host families themselves, remained largely un-assisted.

Nick, I hope you get a chance to review this. I and I'm sure many others are curious as to it's build quality. For 289 Smacks it better be damn sturdy. ;)
