Shoe AvailableLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
The old woman who lives in a shoe has finally reached mandatory retirement age, and Mother Goose is now interviewing possible replacements. None of the five applicants is currently living in a shoe, though each notes on his or her application that he or she is living in a different eccentric domicile. And, although none has children, each applicant shares his or her abode with a number of domestic animals. No two keep the same type of animal.
While Mother Goose checks with her personnel department, see if you can match each applicant up with his or her domicile, as well as with the number and type of domestic animals each owns.
Names: Fanny, Gladys, Horace, Inez, Joe
Domiciles: banjo, churn, gourd, hat, jukebox
Animals: cats, chickens, geese, pigs, sheep
Numbers: not provided - you have to figure them out!
TBD (in the grid) = to be determined
1. Two applicants have the same number of animals, while each of the others has a different number.
2. The one who keeps geese lives in a jukebox.
3. Joe shares his abode with chickens.
4. The one who lives in a gourd has four fewer animals than Gladys (who doesn't raise sheep).
5. Fanny has 15 animals, which isn't the lowest number.
6. The one who shares his or her domicile with 19 sheep (who doesn't live in the churn) doesn't have the most animals.
7. The one who keeps cats doesn't have the lowest number of animals, but he or she does have three fewer animals than the applicant who lives in a banjo.
8. Inez (who doesn't live in a hat) has three fewer animals than another applicant.
AnswerFanny lives in a gourd with 15 pigs.
Gladys lives in a churn with 19 cats.
Horace lives in a hat with 19 sheep.
Inez lives in a jukebox with 12 geese.
Joe lives in a banjo with 22 chickens.
Someone has fewer than 15 animals (clue 5), and someone has more than 19 animals (clue 6). Therefore, the four unique numbers of animals are: the least, 15, 19 and the most. The fifth number matches one of these (clue 1).
The number of cats is neither the least nor the most, nor can there be 15 cats, as then someone would have 18 animals, which isn't possible. Therefore, there are 19 cats, and the "most" animals is 22 (clue 7). There are also 19 sheep (clue 6), so the numbers of animals are: the least, 15, 19, 19 and 22.
Gladys can't have the least animals, or the most (22), as then someone would have to have 18 animals (clue 4). Since Fanny has 15 animals, Gladys must have 19, and since she doesn't have sheep (clue 4), she has the 19 cats. This means that Fanny lives in the gourd (clue 4). She doesn't keep chickens (clue 3) or geese (clue 2), so Fanny has 15 pigs. The geese live in the jukebox, therefore Joe must live in the banjo with his 22 chickens (clues 3 and 7).
The sheep don't live in the churn (clue 6), so they live in the hat, and the cats live in the churn. (Remember, "The Cat in the Hat" is Dr. Seuss, not Mother Goose!)
Inez doesn't live in the hat, so Horace does, while Inez lives in the jukebox with her 12 geese (clue 8).

DICKINSON - A Galveston County family gets to spend more time with a beloved horse, and it's all thanks to a forward-thinking veterinarian.
The horse had a badly hurt leg, but the vet had an idea to help keep the animal's life as normal as possible.
Indio suffered a deep laceration above the hoof during an accident in his stall.
The family who owns him was devastated ,but they're now relieved doctors were able to save him.
Stephanie and Pedro Gutierrez, of Hitchcock, are owners of the 16-year-old quarter horse.
They've had him for two years, but say he's like family.
Currently, Indio is under the care of Dr. Dennis Jenkins, and is
staying at the Equine Recovery Center in Dickinson after he suffered a bad accident in the Gutierrez's barn.
"He inadvertently kicked his back leg through a tin part of a barn," Jenkins said.
The cut was so bad, Indio could have been put down, but the Gutierrez's say that wasn't an option for them.
So Jenkins called Dr. Ric Redden, a world renowned veterinarian from Kentucky to put a prosthetic leg on Indio.
Family and friends video taped the successful procedure.
Now the Gutierrez's are hopeful.
"We're very happy and very blessed," said Stephanie.
Even though Indio might not be ridden again, he will be able to live a comfortable life and continue to breed.
Doctors say it could take a year before Indio is fully recovered and able to return home.

Well, hockey Christmas, anyway. And you know that the GM of your team likes to put big, expensive presents under your tree and in your stockings.
So we'll see. Judging by the traffic here this week — idiots aside — youse all seem pretty excited about tomorrow's holiday. Anybody taking the day off?
Just a reminder, too. NHL Network will have the TSN guys and all their contacts on the air at noon, so that's a must-watch. But stay here, too. Imagine we'll be nutso here, especially if the Rangers get involved. Also imagine that they will be involved in a little bit more than Brad Richards.
I'm going to try to head over to the prospects camp today, just to get a hockey fix, some free air conditioning, have a look around, etc. I don't know how much, if any, I will actually blog about the kids … what with this being a holiday eve and all.

Scientists rally against creationist "superstition," reported the UK Independent, 1 June 2008 "The rise of creationism in Britain to the point where four out of 10 Britons believe it to be the literal truth - as well as the idea being taught in state-approved schools - has spread alarm throughout the scientific community. But this week sees the start of a concerted fight back, as an 18-month celebration of evolution and its greatest proponent, Charles Darwin, gets under way, marking the 150th anniversary of the unveiling of his theory and the 200th anniversary of his birth. People all over Europe will take part in a mass experiment to discover evolutionary changes to a species of snail; a major series of programmes is to be shown by the BBC; several books are to be published; and the Open University plans a new course on the subject.
Dr Bob Bloomfield, head of special projects at the museum and a key figure in the "Darwin200" project, said he was concerned by the prevalence of creationist ideas. "The statistics in this country are quite frightening. If you add up the percentages that either believe in creationism or intelligent design, it is approaching 40 per cent," he said. "I don't think society can be complacent when ideas which are unsound are perpetrated. We are trying not to compromise people's faith views, other than where they are absolutely inconsistent with science."
Editorial Comment: It's great to be told that our work is succeeding and it even more emphasises the importance of our work. Get behind it now with your financial and prayerful support.
Also notice that the scientists are setting out to undermine the work of creationists alone. The evolutionist is scared of none. Your support is vital.(Ref. sceptics, anti-creation)

Home holds no answers as Reds' skid continues
Simon lasts 4 1/3, production at a minimum in seventh straight loss
CINCINNATI -- The Reds are now almost two full weeks removed from enjoying a victory. They remain winless since the All-Star break.
A season-high losing streak reached seven games in a 4-1 defeat to the Nationals on Friday night at Great American Ball Park. Cincinnati's last win was on July 13 vs. the Pirates, but it feels like eons ago. Once seven games over, the club is now at .500 again with a 51-51 record.
"Sometimes when you struggle, and obviously, we're struggling ... you kind of end up putting way too much on your plate," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "Everyone does it; we do it as coaches and managers, players, etc. -- you put a bunch of hurdles in front of yourself, and you get away from what you do naturally, comfortably."
The strong and reliable starting pitching that skillfully kept the Reds out of long losing streaks during the first half has turned up missing. One of the rotation's two All-Stars, Alfredo Simon, was desperately needed to be a stopper.
What Cincinnati got was a second straight subpar performance. Simon (12-5, 2.86) was done after 4 1/3 innings, having already thrown 89 pitches while allowing three earned runs and nine hits with two walks, a hit batter and three strikeouts.
"A couple of pitches were up, and I wanted them down in the zone. I was behind in the count," Simon said. "When you get behind in the count, it's easier for them to hit the ball. We have to put everything together and work like a team as we did before."
Now 0-2 with a 4.82 ERA in his last two starts, Simon's previous outing saw him reach only five innings vs. the Yankees last Saturday. He had 16 quality starts in 18 outings and 12 victories before the All-Star Game.
It was a scoreless game until the fourth, when the Nationals' hits started piling up against Simon. He allowed three straight hits to begin the inning, including an RBI double to right field by Zach Walters. One-out RBI singles by Denard Span -- who recorded his second consecutive four-hit game -- and Anthony Rendon gave Washington a 3-0 lead.
"Next time, I have to do better," Simon said.
Simon was done after a leadoff double by Adam LaRoche and a one-out walk to Bryce Harper in the fifth. Reds starting pitchers are 0-5 with a 4.90 ERA during the losing streak and have one quality start between them.
"He's the one guy that really didn't have a lull in his season," Price said. "He didn't have a stretch where he had two or three games in a row where he struggled, and probably to a man, the rest of the guys have, outside of [Mat] Latos because he hasn't been here all that long. So I'm not concerned about it."
The Nationals added a run in the sixth inning against J.J. Hoover.
Good starting pitching often kept the Reds afloat when the lineup struggled previously. Now, the losing streak is a collaborative effort as Cincinnati's offense has collected 13 runs in the last seven games. On Friday, Washington's Tanner Roark allowed one run and only three hits over seven innings.
"I think everybody is trying to do their part," Reds third baseman Todd Frazier said. "Right now, everybody is just not doing it, the whole. Pitchers are doing their thing. They're keeping us in ballgames. Four runs they gave up today, we should find a way to manufacture a couple of runs. We just haven't. It's frustrating."
In the bottom of the fourth, already trailing 3-0, the Reds got on the board against Roark when they caught a break. Billy Hamilton, who had their first hit of the night, was on third base when Ryan Ludwick tapped a check-swing grounder off the glove of a diving Roark. Ludwick reached safely ahead of a desperation throw from Walters near second base as Hamilton scored.
It was only the Reds' third hit in 44 tries (.068) with runners in scoring position during the losing streak. They are not doing much at the plate with or without runners in scoring position as they are batting .176 in the seven losses.
"Everything gets expanded more when you lose," Frazier said. "That's the toughest part. Maybe missing a sign. Maybe not backing up. Every little thing comes into play. Everything is getting blown up. We had a good talk today in the hitters' meeting. We feel fine. It's just a matter of producing."

Just a quick update for those who love Iceland as a model (a category which unites the unlikely pair of uber-Keynesian Paul Krugman and Conservative eurosceptic Dan Hannan).
After its disastrous banking and property bubble and bust, house prices have been growing strongly again, and are within a whisker of their 2008 highs – in stark contrast to Ireland and Spain. All three (with two different measures of Spanish housing) are shown in this chart, and Iceland's break from the Irish/Spanish pattern is clear:
This, just like the country's return to economic growth, looks like another justification for Iceland's decision to refuse to bail out its banks, unlike most of the rest of the world.
Now, I'm no friend of bank bailouts, and would much rather see middle-class bank creditors take losses than taxes rise on the poor to subsidise those creditors.
But things aren't quite as simple as the housing chart shows. As well as cleaning up its banking system through a gigantic default, in large part on foreigners, Iceland's krona has collapsed.
When measured in foreign currencies, the people of the island are far poorer than they were, something which really matters for a place which imports virtually everything it needs other than fish and electricity.
One example is the import of cars: for the four years since 2008, the total tonnage of cars (I know, funny measure, but that's how Iceland provides it) imported is lower than for the single year of 2006. And this isn't only because of the extremes of the bubble: last year, even as Iceland began to recover and imports picked up, saw fewer cars imported than in any year from 1999 to the collapse.
Adjusting Icelandic house prices into euros, then, allows a fairer comparison with Spain and Ireland's outcomes (although not a way Icelandic residents will think about it, of course). And it tells quite a different story:
Now, this doesn't matter to Icelandic homeowners paid in krona. But it does put a bit of a damper on the idea that Iceland is having a strong recovery.
Measuring in krona, even Spanish house prices have started to rise, as you see in this next chart: Read more

This afternoon, we released BrowserLab v1.6.2 which includes the following changes:
- Chrome 13 (Windows) support has been added
- Firefox 5 (Windows) support has been added
- A fix that improves BrowserLab's support for sites built with the SilverStripe CMS
- Additional bug fixes and improvements
Someday in the not too distant future, we're going to remove Firefox 3.0 and 3.6 from BrowserLab. If you're wondering why we would remove support for older browsers, it is to keep BrowserLab lean and mean, and keep our backend costs in check. We can't keep older browsers around forever, and we've seen significant drop-off in market share for these older versions. If you have objections to this, please let us know why. You can let us know how you feel by posting here in the Comments, or on our BrowserLab User Forums.

Huge Huge fan of the site and it's writers.

jimbo2779 - Saturday, June 29, 2013 - linkAnother great podcast guys. I really like the dynamic between Anand and Brian but it is a shame the other guys aren't included in this one as I think their different POVs add a lot to the discussion (when they can get a word in :P)
Hopefully we don't have to wait 2 months for the next one, I was starting to dread that you guys had decided to discontinue them. I'm glad that worry wasn't warranted. Thanks again guys. Reply
blanarahul - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkCan you you guys do a detailed article on how the CCI is broken in the Exynos Octa? I would like that.
I have a question:- If the CCI is broken and the L2 Cache data has to pushed into the DRAM and back into the L2 Cache of the other cluster. Won't it improve performance consistency if you disable the A15 cluster all together? Reply
blanarahul - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkFound a useful article but it still doesn't answer my question:- http://www.sammobile.com/2013/05/30/samsung-proces... Reply

smartypnt4 - Friday, June 28, 2013 - linkSo... This is actually podcast 20, which you posted before. Sorry to see you guys are having issues today, between this and the images not loading in the Richland mobile article this morning. Reply
smartypnt4 - Friday, June 28, 2013 - linkFixed now. Disregard. Reply
Crono - Friday, June 28, 2013 - linkExcellent, was looking forward to this (what can I say, I like to listen to some interesting stuff when I'm driving). I want to know how soon before I can get the GPE ROM on my AT&T HTC One. It's already as smooth as butter with Sense 5, but would love to play around with almost-stock Android just to see how it runs. Reply
Crono - Friday, June 28, 2013 - linkAlso, I'm surprised you guys don't offer a smaller MP3 size at least as a secondary option. 32 kbps (CBR preferably) is enough for speech, unless there is some background noises you want us to pick up on, ha ha. 185MB is overkill for a podcast, unless it was a music podcast. Reply
Zink - Saturday, June 29, 2013 - link+1 podcasts are half silence and speech doesn't need nearly the bitrate used for music. Less bits please. Reply
speconomist - Saturday, June 29, 2013 - linkI completely agree, this is waaay overkill.
Half or even one third of the current bitrate would make more sense without compromising audio quality at all. Reply
Terminator02 - Saturday, June 29, 2013 - linkThis. I've been putting off commenting on the bitrate of your podcasts, but it is quite unnecessary to use a 204 kbps bitrate on a podcast as you currently are for the MP3 versions. I'd say 128 kbps is the absolute max needed for (non-music) podcasts, with 96 kbps being ideal in my opinion, and 80 or 64 kbps sounding fine as well.
I would prefer that you not go any lower than that as it starts to sound significantly worse when you go below 64 kbps.
This would not only decrease the strain on your servers, but allow us to start listening to the podcast sooner (for those of us who download it to listen on-the-go), as well as filling up less space in portable devices and using less bandwidth. Reply
Crono - Saturday, June 29, 2013 - link64kbps is a good bitrate. I think 48kbps AAC is roughly equivalent. Reply
Eggrenade - Saturday, June 29, 2013 - linkI actually really appreciate the high bitrate. They use quality microphones and the podcast sounds really good. 200 kbs is perhaps a little more than necessary, but it would be a shame to add that gargley sound to such a nice recording. I'm certainly not listening to the quality of their voices more than what they voice, but I appreciate the quality nonetheless. I would prefer variable bitrate (constant quality) just to save space, but I'm not to picky about that.
Great podcast, as usual. Reply
Terminator02 - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkIt already is variable bitrate, the bitrate I posted was the average.
I don't really personally care if AnandTech goes variable or constant bitrate, as it doesn't affect me, but I've been told that constant is more compatible with older devices.
My recommendation would apply to the max bitrate if it's variable.. Reply
Brian Klug - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkThis is something we've been debating for a while, and even though I'm all for the really high quality audio I agree for mobile use it makes sense to have a lower bitrate. I'm pretty sure that's coming :)
-Brian Reply
Terminator02 - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkEven your M4A feed has an average bitrate of lower than 128 kbps and is close to 100MB vs the MP3's 185MB with an average of over 200 kbps. Obviously there is the codec difference, but I honestly cannot hear any difference between the two, and probably wouldn't even if you went even lower.
The filesize is especially noticeable to me because the bandwidth when downloading your podcasts seems to be bottlenecked on your end. When I was downloading it near release I think I was getting ~1 Mbps :(
I don't mean to disrespect you guys, I just wish for a smoother and more convenient experience when downloading my favorite podcast. Reply
Khato - Friday, June 28, 2013 - linkEntertaining as always. Especially looking forward to that Haswell MBA vs iPad4 efficiency article!
One other point that caught my attention - Intel's 100mV advantage on 22nm is on the threshold voltage. Which is actually a surprising amount when you look at the plot they provided with the release materials and see that they're talking about a ~250mV threshold voltage for 22nm versus 350mV on 32nm. But it's also not really applicable to actual products as near threshold computing is still in the research phase for the most part. However there is a very interesting hint regarding likely operating voltages for Silvermont from the information Intel released on their 22nm SoC process last December. Specifically, at the same leakage levels the 22nm SoC drive currents at 0.75V are roughly 2/3 those of the 32nm process at 1.0V. (I also tend to believe the fact that they provide figures at 0.75V instead of the more standard 1.0V just might be implying something.) While I somewhat doubt that Silvermont will run full turbo frequency at 0.75V, that may well be what it needs to run in its sweet spot, and that kind of voltage reduction would certainly explain the marked jump in efficiency. Reply
crypticsaga - Saturday, June 29, 2013 - linkThe comparison between ARM's and Intel's strategies with regards to the number of their architectures is incredibly insightful. I am curious though how you view this dynamic changing in the long term. While its true that as processor tech continues to advance the middle ground will become increasingly competitive, I would venture that Intel's profit model precludes them from ever truly competing with ARM on the low end. Would you disagree? Reply
Krysto - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkNope. Intel will never, EVER, be "competitive" with Core chips against ARM. The dual core chip alone *starts* at $350 for crying out loud. Their only chance is Atom, but last I checked, even that is at least 2x more expensive than the ARM chips in the same category. There's little reason why any Android/Chrome OS OEM, at least, would pick them over the ARM chips.
Plus, Intel still stands no chance in the mobile GPU race with Atom, Imagination's Series 6 and Nvidia's Kepler will obliterate whatever Intel comes out with in the next few years. Reply

Krysto - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkGoogle Glass needs to have HTC One's sound recording capability [1], and OIS and good low-light performance (just like any camera should today, but it's even more important for Google Glass, where you shake your head a lot more than your hand when moving).

KaliszAd - Sunday, June 30, 2013 - linkBrian, why don't you get a Nokia Lumia 920? It's rugged phone by default, maybe not water resistant but I left it in snow for about 20 - 30 Minutes by mistake and it didn't even turn off. The Lumia also didn't break, and I tell you, I dropped it several times on different surfaces from about face - height.
I believe, Lumia EOS with the 41MP sensor will be also as good as Galaxy Camera/ Galaxy NX, because it will still be great phone and a decent camera and still quite rugged.
Maybe, I am biased a bit - Microsoft really has to do a lot of work and polish on Windows Phone Reply
dealcorn - Monday, July 01, 2013 - linkAnand, give some thought to how successful ARM has been with n-1 foundries. Once a foundry becomes fully depreciated, it's cost to produce a SoC drops dramatically. It is a key to ARM's $10 SoC's.
Until Baytrail, Intel has never had a n-1 product that could compete in the tablet space. When Clovertrail+ becomes n-1, it's cost drops dramatically and under classic microelectronic theory, Intel is supposed to use it to trash the profitability of the tablet middle market. Clovertrail+ is your missing third Intel architecture. The Street cares more about market share than profit margin on products from Intel's obsolete fabs. Reply
entrer1 - Tuesday, July 02, 2013 - link@ps4/Xbox 1. One thing that confuses me, if you saw e3 the Xbox 1 games looked real good in my book pertaining to graphics and frame rate. If you look at forza compared to drive club , both first party games, forza looked to be maintaining 60fps and running in 1080p where as drive club club did not look no where near as amazing as forza and also was struggling to maintain 30fps. Does Sony really have a huge real world performance advantage over Xbox 1? Or at the end of the day is it all smoke and mirrors? Not a fan boy BTW. I own both current generation condoles now. I am a huge fps multiplayer gamer though and am really liking the idea of Xbox 1 providing dedicated servers. Can not stand peer to peer connections. Reply
pdjblum - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkIt is odd that a website that has a large enthusiast reader base and reviews enthusiast gear believes that hardcore gamers choose to game on xbox or play station. It is odd that all Brian's friends who he calls "gamers" game on consoles. And it is odd that Anand pretty much plays Halo on xbox. Really! It is even odder that Brian would put a console on his desk and hook it up to his monitor instead of use his pc to game. Not only is the new look for advertisers rather than readers, but this is now pretty much a gadget/mobile site catering to, I guess, not enthusiasts. Reply
jeffkoe - Friday, July 05, 2013 - linkEnjoy the teckie info included in your podcasts. Thank you, host (not sure of everyone's name) for explaining acronyms and higher technical references. Brian is enjoyable, but can get a bit tedious with rants. Overall very enjoyable! Reply
pdjblum - Saturday, July 06, 2013 - linkObviously Brian is smart and I do love his rants. However, he is obviously not smart enough to explain complicated concepts in simple terms so that he would not need to disparage people for not getting it the first time. Really, Brian, you are just a rude, arrogant, condescending punk. You are way too full of yourself. But I do love your honesty and your rants. Of course the vast majority of people are pretty stupid, but they don't need to be reminded of that by a punk such as yourself. Reply
flyingpants1 - Wednesday, July 10, 2013 - linkI agree. Brian Klug is sort of antisocial and arrogant. In addition to what you mentioned, he constantly talks over everyone else in the podcast, often mentioning his credentials or skills or important friends for no reason at all. I notice it too, but it usually doesn't bother me.
On the other hand I think the "technology arrogance" is perfect for a site like Anandtech, it's extremely useful to have the point of view of someone who actually cares deeply about technology.
What really bothers me though, is when that condescending attitude is combined with ignorance. A couple podcasts back, regarding removable batteries for smartphones, it was "Uhhh! You got what you got! No removable batteries ever again! MicroSD is the worst storage medium and all MicroSD cards are constantly corrupt! Nobody uses it anyway! It costs too much to put it in!"
Really? You're the mobile reviewer on an enthusiast site, and you think people are stupid for not wanting to settle for less battery life and less storage space on a $600+ device? Lol. Removing features that directly affect the usability of the phone in order to save like 7 cents in manufacturing costs makes no sense whatsoever. Meanwhile you won't stop talking about other stuff like the One 4MP camera which nobody except you would ever notice or care about.. Reply

The Adobe Flash Platform provides an elegant way to build, distribute, monetize, and play games on the mobile platform. Once you learn the basics of ActionScript, Flex, and AIR, you can easily build simple to advanced games targeting various mobile devices.
Mobile games have gained immense popularity in the recent years primarily because of their ability to provide entertainment on the go. What does it mean for developers? There are numerous opportunities for game developers to produce and monetize their games on different online channels including the Android Market.
While you can use any language and tool to produce mobile games, Flash Builder allows you to develop market-ready games with minimal effort. Moreover, Flash Builder provides a neat interface for building your game engine/levels and also allows you to debug your game on a connected device.
In this post, I'll show you how you can build a simple Accelerometer-based game for the Android market using Adobe AIR and Flash Builder (Burrito). The objective of this game is to guide the earth ( image) towards the black hole (image) by using the accelerometer of the mobile device.
Now, if Accelerometer is available on the mobile device, you can initialize and handle the Accelerometer event as follows:
var acl:Accelerometer; ... accl.setRequestedUpdateInterval(200); acl.addEventListener(AccelerometerEvent.UPDATE, handleACLUpdate); ... private function handleACLUpdate(event:AccelerometerEvent):void{ rollingX = (event.accelerationX * FACTOR) + (rollingX * (1-FACTOR)); rollingY = (event.accelerationY * FACTOR) + (rollingY * (1-FACTOR)); rollingZ = (event.accelerationZ * FACTOR) + (rollingZ * (1-FACTOR)); earth.x = Math.round(earth.x - (rollingX*rollingSpeed)); earth.y = Math.round(earth.y - (rollingY*rollingSpeed)); ... }
Accelerometer data obtained from the device has some degree of inaccuracy. You can use a moving average of recent data to smooth out the movement of the earth. For more information on the Accelerometer class, read the documentation.
You can move the earth by simply tilting the mobile device on any particular direction. You should also remember to align the earth back in to the stage when it moves out of screen bounds. To achieve this, we'll use the Flex effects:
<s:Bounce id="beffect" /> <s:Move id="topbounce" target="{earth}" yBy="2" duration="100" /> <s:Move id="bottombounce" target="{earth}" yBy="-2" duration="100" /> <s:Move id="leftbounce" target="{earth}" xBy="2" duration="100" easer="{beffect}" repeatCount="1" /> <s:Move id="rightbounce" target="{earth}" xBy="-2" duration="100" easer="{beffect}" repeatCount="1" />
The trick is to move the earth by a very few pixels in the opposite direction with a short animation so that the continuous Accelerometer effect on the earth image does not make the earth movement jerky. You can also vary the duration of the animation and the amount of pixels to move to achieve better smoothness.
At this point, you should read the Flex 4 documentation for more information on Flex effects.
You can use Flash Builder to create mobile views for adding the media assets. Learn more on Flex Mobile Views and Navigators. You can drag and drop images on the stage using the design view.
You need to embed the images for the effects to work.
After obtaining the Accelerometer inputs, you can choose to calculate the distance between the Black Hole image and the earth's image. If the center points of both the images collide, raise an event to handle the collision. In our game, we increase the score. You can use the same concept to decrease the score when the earth hits any other rigid body apart from the black hole. The game play involves steering the earth to the black hole by carefully avoiding any stationary or moving objects.
I have built this simple game that will enable you to:
- Create game levels. In this game, each View is a level.
- Build ActionScript game engines. You can view and modify the sample code pertaining to health, score, and HUD management.
- Understand and handle timers. Game timers control the duration of the game play. Excessive usage of timers will affect the game's performance. Be warned!
- Persist game data. You can serialize the game objects to the application storage directory. The sample game stores high scores for each level and supports auto saving.
Getting Started
- Before you begin, download and install Flash Builder Burrito.
- Download the Black Hole Flash Builder Project. Extract the archive to get the BlackHole.fxp file.
- Click File > Import Flash Builder Project and select BlackHole.fxp
- To run the sample game, select Run > Run. For the launch method, select 'On device' and click Run. Make sure that your Android device is connected to your computer through USB.
Also, in the sample game, you can drag and drop the earth in to the black hole if you get tired of using the Accelerometer. This test game is also available in the Android Market as 'Black Hole'.
Happy Gaming!

"…it must be remembered that the intensity of the symptomatology presents notable spontaneous oscillations."
Coccagna and Lugaresi, Int J Neurol, 1981
Restless legs syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is now generally appreciated in the medical literature as common and complex. Over 50 prevalence studies, most published since 2005, have been crucial in defining many important clinical aspects. In this issue of JCSM is one of the first general population-based incidence studies of RLS.1 How are incidence studies different, and how might they further clinical knowledge?
First, let us review the "Top Five" agreed upon findings from prevalence studies of RLS.2 Number 5: Prevalence in females is about twice as high as in males, beginning in the late teens or 20s. Number 4: Association with other conditions. Individuals with RLS are at least twice as likely to have scores indicating a depressive or anxiety disorder. This has major clinical implications in that common treatments for these disorders can worsen RLS,3 and because ongoing sleep disturbance is a known risk factor for the onset and persistence of depressive disorders, as well as for suicidality. Interestingly, emerging evidence indicates at least twice the risk of cardiovascular disease in RLS. Less agreement has been found regarding increased comorbidity with numerous other disorders, including hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Number 3: Quality of life (QOL) impairments are significant in moderate-to-severe RLS, comparable to diabetes and congestive heart failure.4 These include lower physical and mental health scores, with disturbed sleep very common by both subjective and objective measures. Number 2: There is a wide spectrum of frequency/severity. Of those meeting the four essential IRLSSG criteria, application of frequency at least 1x/week represents 60% of the RLS population; at least 2x/week is about 50%; and daily is about 20%. Clinically significant RLS—RLS associated with higher morbidity and where treatment should be considered—can be defined by frequency/severity measures. Occurrence at least 1-2x/week, typically with moderate to severe distress, is the most common definition in the epidemiologic studies that show impairment. Number 1: Consideration of differential diagnosis is very important. Exclusion of "mimics" of RLS, such as leg cramps, positional discomfort, arthritis, and leg edema, leads to specificity of diagnosis,5 and prevalence rates of 1.9% to 4.6% for moderate-to-severe RLS in European and North American studies.2 Without differential diagnosis prevalence estimates are about 1.25 to 2 times higher. Importantly, the 2012 revision of the International RLS Study Group (IRLSSG) diagnostic criteria will include differential diagnosis as a 5th essential criterion, as is also planned for the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-3) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) in 2013.
Incidence rate is an estimate of the number of new cases in a population over a given time period, as compared to prevalence, which estimates the total number of cases in a population at a given time. Incidence presents a temporal dimension to the disorder, rather than a single "snapshot" of it. While both typically assess disease associations and neither can prove etiology, incidence studies are usually more useful in identifying potential etiologic factors because incidence studies can identify factors associated with the new onset of a disorder, such as weight gain in obstructive sleep apnea.
The paper by Budhiraja et al. in this issue of JCSM is a significant contribution, showing that new cases of RLS are common, a yearly incidence of 1.7% for moderate-to-severe RLS (defined as RLS occurring at least 5 days/month and associated with at least moderate distress).1 Extrapolated to the adult population in Tucson, Arizona, this represents six to seven thousand new cases a year; to the US, four million a year. With the severity definition as above and exclusion of some mimics, this study found prevalence rates of 4.1% at baseline and 7.7% at follow up, which are within typical prevalence rates for the US. These findings are comparable to the only other general-population incidence studies of RLS, both published in the last six months. In two different German population-based cohorts, Szentkiralyi et al. reported incidence rates of 9 and 22 per 1000 person-years (= annual incidence of 0.9% and 2.2%).6 In Japan, Kagimura et al. found an annual incidence rate of 0.8%.7 This is remarkable due to a lower RLS prevalence of 2% in this Japanese cohort. Incidence was significantly higher for women in only one of the four cohorts.
Perhaps the most striking finding from these incidence studies thus far is the remission rate—that is, the percent of cases where RLS criteria were not met at the follow-up survey. This was about half of the cases when all four cohorts are considered. An explanation was not evident, although data analysis did not focus on this aspect. In contrast, a large clinical case series that included affected family members reported RLS symptoms over time as follows: progressive in 36%, stable in 41%, diminished in 15%, and remitted in 8%.8 Persistence of RLS in one of the incidence studies correlated with frequency (≥ 2x/month), but not with severity (by the IRLS rating scale) or consistently by age or gender.7 Clearly, factors related to persistence and remission need further study.
Multiple correlates of new onset RLS were examined in the Budhiraja et al. paper, with self-reported obstructive lung disease (asthma, chronic bronchitis, COPD, or emphysema) and estrogen use found to be independent risk factors. They cite six studies that support an increased prevalence of RLS for individuals with lung disease. Indeed, a 3-4 times higher risk of RLS has been found in COPD.910–11 Conversely, a large population-based study of COPD found significantly more COPD in individuals with RLS, as defined by spirometry.12 Clinically, it is important to note that peripheral neuropathy is common in COPD and can mimic RLS, but it probably does not fully account for the increased prevalence.9,10 Budhiraja et al. suggest hypoxemia as the pathophysiological mechanism by which RLS is exacerbated in obstructive lung disease, via influence on brain dopamine pathways. Of note, there is not good evidence that serum ferritin levels or systemic inflammation (which limits iron availability) explain the increase.10,12 Importantly, RLS represents a potentially treatable cause of sleep disturbance and decreased QOL in COPD.10,12
Estrogen's role in the exacerbation and pathophysiology of RLS is less clear. RLS is more common in women than men and is very common during pregnancy. While estradiol levels were found to be higher in pregnant women with RLS compared to those without RLS in one study,13 this was not confirmed in another study.14 Similarly, hormone replacement therapy use was found to be significantly more frequent in women with RLS in one study15 but not in two others.16,17 In a randomized study of hormonal therapy for postmenopausal women, RLS complaints were significantly less for those on estrogen + progesterone compared to baseline, but not different for those on estrogen or progesterone alone.18 Perhaps there is a genetically predisposed subset of women for whom estrogen is an exacerbating factor, but this relationship may be diminished when all women are considered.
Future incidence studies of RLS are likely to reveal additional clinical findings and etiologic clues. Because incidence studies provide a temporal dimension, these studies could provide new insight into the observation by Coccagna and Lugaresi more than 30 years ago of "notable spontaneous oscillations"—by helping answer why.

Emotions are a big part of any championship game but last Sunday's Ford EcoBoost 400 in Homestead had more than its fair share.
As Jeff Gordon crossed the finish line for his first victory at the 1.5 mile oval, the excitement of the win was accompanied by relief as he held off rival Clint Bowyer in the closing laps. Only a week away from their bitter confrontation, Gordon was concerned of retaliation if Bowyer could catch him.
"There was one restart where I had Joey, Aric, and Clint right there surrounding me," said the race winner on his concerns about racing those that still have issues with him. "You know, that thing is going to work itself out some way through racing."
Gordon offered an olive branch of peace to his fellow drivers and hoped that they will accept his apology.
"I felt terrible about how I went about it [the accident] and still regret the way I went about it but you know what? I can't take it back," said Gordon. "What we can do is look forward and race guys hard and clean."
Bowyer was not ready to forgive and was really hoping to catch Gordon in those closing laps.
"I just really wanted to catch the 24," commented Bowyer on his later race charge. "That was the only thing that went through my mind at the end."
As Gordon and Bowyer coped with their thoughts, Brad Keselowski became the 2012 Cup Series Champion in only his third full year on the senior circuit.
"I just feel so fortunate to be where I'm at right now in life and with racing," said Keselowski on his landmark win. "To have guys like this around me because you're a product of who you surround yourself by, and I'm surrounded by the best."
Keselowski already had one NASCAR championship to his credit on the Nationwide Series but team owner Roger Penske has spent a couple of decades searching for that coveted title.
"I feel amazing that I've been able to achieve this in racing," commented Penske on his first NASCAR title. "I've lauded the people that have been on that stage for so many years and to be able to join this elite group and say that I'm a champion in NASCAR means a lot."
With 15 Indy 500 wins in his resume, it was that elusive NASCAR championship that kept Penske up at night. However, that emotion is now behind him.
"We won the Indy 500, 15 times and we're a big deal," said the man known as "The Captain" of his accomplishments as a team owner. "But I'll tell you one thing. Until you get here and you compete at the top and win it, you really know what's happened, and I think I just woke up here tonight, and it's a big thrill."
There were other emotions throughout the garage area as drivers were moving to new teams for next season and manufacturers were leaving the sport for a short time. I can't possibly tell all their stories but it was an emotional way to close the 2012 season.
Keselowski will truly make a great ambassador for NASCAR as Champion but I imagine it will be a long time before you that smile will come off of Roger Penske's face.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/8/2013 (1471 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Royal Winnipeg Ballet has turned to eastern Europe to add two new dancers for the 2013-14 season.
Artjom Maksakov, a Ukrainian-born dancer who was most recently with the Boston Ballet, joins the RWB as a soloist.
Olga Malinovskaya, who studied at Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet Academy before joining the Estonian National Ballet in 2008, joins the corps de ballet.
Maksakov and Malinovskaya were both named among the outstanding dancers of the 2010 season by Dance Europe magazine.
The RWB has also promoted Sophia Lee, who last season starred in Moulin Rouge — The Ballet and Twyla Tharp's The Princess & The Goblin, among others, to soloist.
"I am delighted to be welcoming new talent into the company both from inside and outside our organization," RWB artistic director André Lewis said in a release Tuesday. "New faces bring fresh ideas and approaches, which is an absolutely essential part of the natural process of evolution for our company.
Four students from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School, Katie Bonnell, Kylie Duggan, Manami Tsubai and Ryan Vetter, have been hired as apprentices for the upcoming season, and two apprentices, RWB school grads Stephan Possin and Chenxin Liu, have been promoted to the corps de ballet.
The RWB's 74th season opens Wednesday, Oct. 16, with the world première of The Handmaid's Tale, a ballet adapted from Margaret Atwood's acclaimed novel.

AUTHOR Martin Coleman will be reading his take on the Easter story in front of 20,000 people in Trafalgar Square tomorrow.
Grandfather Martin, 52, who lives in Church Street, Royal Wootton Bassett, is taking part in the annual The Passion of Jesus event and will be shown on a big screen reading the tale.
He has given his slant to the traditional story, for the Bible Society, based in Stonehill Green, as part of a Bible Bedtime free iPhone app which goes live today.
Along with the Easter story, Martin, who has self-published three children's books, worked on the Prodigal Son, the tale of Adam and Eve, and Jonah and the Whale for the project.
He said: "It is quite surreal how it came about. I went to read my new book to a child minder's group and got put in touch with Rachel Rounds, Bible Society's head of media, who was looking for a writer for the app.
"It is a huge honour to be part of the project and a little strange as I'm not a believer, but the society really embraced that fact.
"I recorded my piece reading the Easter story last week and I'll be travelling to London to be part of the Trafalgar Square audience, which I'm really excited about. I'm sure it will be quite the buzz to be there."
The Passion of Jesus is a 90-minute play showing the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus and will feature around 100 cast members.
The app, currently only available on iPhones and iPads, is supporting the Bible Society's Pass it On campaign with the group looking to get children of all faiths connected with some of the Bible's well-known stories.
Rachel said: "We were looking for someone to write the stories for the app and we were really impressed by Martin's work.
"If the app takes off we'd certainly consider doing some more of the stories."
Martin, who is a presenter on Fantasy Radio, based in Devizes, said that being involved with the project was one of the greatest experiences of his life.
He said: "It has been a real honour and I'd certainly be interested in doing more if the society want me to."
The Bible Bedtime app is available from iTunes and for more information about Martin's work visit www.martincolemanbooks.co.uk

Today Mayor Bloomberg is going to open New York Fashion Week. This is an exciting thing. Not so much because breath is bated as to what suit he will wear, or because of the nominal reason for the executive appearance (the move of the shows from Bryant Park to Lincoln Centre), but because of what it says about money and politics. You didn't think he was just doing it for the skirts, did you? Read more

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The real estate market is in full slumber, as usual during the holiday season, but 2014 is only weeks away.
And next year, the housing market will see some fresh complications that could slow growth when it should be springing back, according to one leading economist.
The National Association of Realtors' 2014 forecast, introduced during the association's 2013 Realtors Conference & Expo, says home sales should "retain the healthy gains" seen so far this year.
Home sales last year and this year have pretty matched mirrored home values, with sales up 20% and home values up 18%.
Lawrence Yun, the NAR's chief economist and historically a "glass-half-full" analyst on housing, isn't sure that growth can continue, though.
He notes that while home sales and home values both show double-digit growth, income levels for people who might buy those increasingly expensive houses have checked in at a much lower rate -- between 2% and 4% in the past two years.
"We've come off of record-high housing affordability conditions in the past year and are now at a five-year low, but conditions are still the fifth-best in the past 40 years," he says. "While the median-income family in many areas will still be well positioned to buy a home in 2014, income is barely budging given growth in consumer prices."

I'm alive. I haven't had much to say for a very simple reason. There is nothing to say. The billionaire owners are being dicks by locking out their players. The millionaire players are being dicks for demanding their ridiculously inflated salaries continue to stay inflated, and the regular guys & gals, like you and I are being held hostage to their negotiation. I've defended Bettman a lot over the years, and while I do agree that both sides are at fault, this time around I am placing more of the onus on Bettman than usual, simply because, there doesn't HAVE to be a lockout. They can play under the existing rules and negotiate as they go. While that doesn't sound like a sound negotiating point for the owners, it does make it more annoying for the fans simply knowing that fact. Record revenues, competitive balance…there's a lot to be thankful for by these NHL owners. Average joes are going bankrupt left right and center. People can't afford to pay for their medical expenses, people losing their homes on a daily basis, and these douchebags, making the most money they ever have, are locking their players out.
Excuse me while I go vomit.

WATCH: 9/11 truther grabs mic at postgame interview
(NEWSER) – A member of the "9/11 truther" movement took over the microphone at a Super Bowl postgame interview last night, albeit briefly, Mediaite reports. As game MVP Malcolm Smith was being interviewed, the man got in a few words: "Investigate 9/11. 9/11 was perpetrated by people within our own government." As the man was ushered out, Smith suggested his press pass be checked. The man, since identified as Brooklynite Matthew Mills, 30, did have a pass on his neck, NJ.com notes, but it wasn't a Super Bowl one.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote that tech entrepreneurs are the new rock stars. Andrew Mason, ousted chief executive of online deals site Groupon, may have taken the comparison to heart.
On Monday, Mr Mason, who was sacked from the company he co-founded in February, released Hardly Workin'. The album, he writes on his blog, is "of music to help people get ahead in the workplace" and "pulls some of the most important learnings from my years at the helm of one of the fastest growing businesses in history, and packages them as music".
While Mr Mason's effort may be post-Groupon, there is a long (and dubious) history of employees taking to song to express their love for stakeholders, customers and the company they work for. Read more

HOUSTON - Houston Independent School District officials voted to close Ryan Middle School in the Third Ward area on Thursday.
Dozens of parents and community members attended Thursday night's meeting at HISD headquarters in northwest Houston.
The district's 5 to 3 vote means Ryan Middle School will close and students will be relocated to Cullen Middle School by the summer.
Members of the NAACP protested Thursday afternoon in front of Ryan Middle School.
Community leaders voiced concerns that the HISD's plan to consolidate two low enrollment campuses will force minority children to be bused to campuses outside of their neighborhoods.
"We believe the community was deceived and really betrayed," said Reginald Lillie, president of the NAACP's Houston chapter. "We're asking HISD to honor the will of the people."
"We are not going to allow HISD to come in and destroy this community," said Dr. Carolyn Evans-Shabazz, education director for the NAACP Houston chapter. "Third Ward, Southpark, Sunnyside are not for sale."
HISD still has to vote on whether to consolidate students from Sterling and Jones High Schools on a new $72 million campus on the site of the current Sterling Campus.
Officials cited low enrollment at Ryan and Jones as the reason for the consolidation. Officials said Jones has fewer than 500 students and Ryan has fewer than 300 students.
HISD said those campuses have fewer students than the average size elementary school in the district. HISD officials said the low enrollment creates a state funding gap that prevents the district from offering a full compliment of academic and extra curricular activities at the schools.
"We believe if the curriculum is improved, we believe if they keep the programs in Third Ward, in our schools, not only would these children stay, but other children would move to our inner city schools," said Lillie. "If there's something wrong with the schools in our community, fix the schools. Don't close them down, don't bus the children outside of their own communities."
Officials said Ryan Middle School will become a Medical and Health Professionals Academy. HISD officials said they also plan to turn Jones into a district wide magnet school for gifted and talented children.

I've heard some discoloration is to be expected with time, but I've only used my grill 4 times and it's already starting to discolor. In particular the left side of hood (closest to the smokebox ). The smoke really bellow's out top left, front corner when using smoke. Is this normal for the Gold D ?
The first time it happened I was able to clean most, but not all, of it off w / soap & water, but after I cooked this eve it came back worse, and didn't clean up as thoroughly. Is Goo Gone safe to use and effictive for cleaning smoke stain's on stainless ? YB2

My Name Is EarlEARL (Jason Lee) has taken one too many wrong turns on the highway of life. However, a twist of fate turns his life into a tailspin of life-renewing events. Earl won a small lottery and, after an epiphany, he is determined to transform his good fortune into a life-changing event as he sets out to right all the wrongs from his past.
In its inaugural season, MY NAME IS EARL received the People�s Choice Award, two TCA Awards, a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series and Emmys� for executive producers Garcia and Buckland for writing and directing, respectively.
Joining Earl along his quest to cleanse his karma are a few dimwitted friends: hapless brother RANDY (Ethan Suplee) and the very sexy CATALINA (Nadine Velazquez). Even DARNELL (Eddie Steeples), the owner of the Crab Shack where Earl drinks beer, offers his support. But it�s Earl�s ex-wife JOY (Jaime Pressly) who won�t lift a finger to help unless there�s something in it for her.
Despite his seemingly limited intelligence, Earl is oddly effective -- and the top-rated freshman comedy series, like Earl himself, has a voice and style all its own. Created and written by Greg Garcia, MY NAME IS EARL is executive produced by Garcia and Bobby Bowman. The series is produced by Amigos de Garcia and Twentieth Century Fox Television and is distributed by Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution.

This group is kind of surprising since the Weber was top of this class and a best buy last year. I'mnot sure if this reflects design changes in the Weber or increasing quality in the other units. In any case, I'm not about to scrap my Weber, necause I still feel that it will last longer than most of the others. For example, of the units ranked above the Weber, only the Broilmaster ($1200), TEC ($1300), and Thermos ($400) have burners guaranteed for 10 years.
Large Grills

2. Member's Mark Monarch
3. Kenmore 15337

A BATTLEPLAN has been drawn up to recruit more nurses at Basildon Hospital after it was found to have 183 vacancies.
The chronic shortage comes at a time when Southend Hospital's own lack of staff forced it to close off beds.
Both hospitals are looking abroad to plug the gap with Spain and Portugal the latest destinations for headhunters looking for talent.
It is also hoped the recruitment drive will cut the huge amount of money spent on employing temps, with Basildon spending £12.9million last year and Southend Hospital spending £1million a month on agency staff.
A spokesman for Basildon Hospital said: "There will always be a need to use agency nurses; however, we are working to minimise this as much as possible.
"Over the coming months, we will be recruiting newly qualified nurses, who have trained at the hospital, and will attend job fairs across the country.
"A team of officials will soon be dispatched to Spain in the hope 50 nurses will be recruited from there."
Southend recently hired 19 Spanish nurses to ease the pressure after previously having to shut 12 beds because it could not meet national guidelines of having one nurse to eight patients.
The hospitals are recruiting from abroad due to a lack of available staff in England and want to be prepared now in advance of the seasonal winter rush of extra patients.
The Basildon spokesman said: "As there will always be nurses who choose to leave the trust, it is important we plan recruitment activity so we continue to have the number of nurses we need."
Proposals to keep hold of staff include meeting with new starters to talk about their intitial experiences working with the hospital, monthly reports on employees who have stayed on for at least a year and giving people more opportunities for progression.
Location is always a problem CONCERNS have been raised previously about the struggles hospitals in south Essex face when it comes to recruiting nursing staff.
Karen Webb, East of England regional director of the Royal College of Nurses, told the Echo in April that the location of Basildon and Southend was a major reason.
She said: "It's in a location where nurses can just go down the road and get paid London Weighting.
"What they've done is quite sensible, to go abroad looking for capable staff."
She said overseas recruitment did not have an impact on local trainee nurses, but added better training could help stop hospitals from having to look abroad for staff.
She added: "Health Education East of England, the local education training board, needs to invest more in on-the-job training for already qualified nurses."

The President of the United States,
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. SP5 Kedenburg, U.S. Army, Command and Control Detachment North, Forward Operating Base 2, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), distinguished himself while serving as advisor to a long-range reconnaissance team of South Vietnamese irregular troops. The team's mission was to conduct counter-guerrilla operations deep within enemy-held territory. prior to reaching the day's objective, the team was attacked and encircled by a battalion-size North Vietnamese Army force. SP5 Kedenburg assumed immediate command of the team which succeeded, after a fierce fight, in breaking out of the encirclement. As the team moved through thick jungle to a position from which it could be extracted by helicopter, SP5 Kedenburg conducted a gallant rear guard fight against the pursuing enemy and called for tactical air support and rescue helicopters. His withering fire against the enemy permitted the team to reach a preselected landing zone with the loss of only 1 man, who was unaccounted for. Once in the landing zone, SP5 Kedenburg deployed the team into a perimeter defense against the numerically superior enemy force. When tactical air support arrived, he skillfully directed air strikes against the enemy, suppressing their fire so that helicopters could hover over the area and drop slings to be used in the extraction of the team. After half of the team was extracted by helicopter, SP5 Kedenburg and the remaining 3 members of the team harnessed themselves to the sling on a second hovering helicopter. Just as the helicopter was to lift them out of the area, the South Vietnamese team member who had been unaccounted for after the initial encounter with the enemy appeared in the landing zone. SP5 Kedenburg unhesitatingly gave up his place in the sling to the man and directed the helicopter pilot to leave the area. He then continued to engage the enemy who were swarming into the landing zone, killing 6 enemy soldiers before he was overpowered. SP5 Kedenburg's inspiring leadership, consummate courage and willing self-sacrifice permitted his small team to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy and escape almost certain annihilation. His actions reflect great credit upon himself and the U.S. Army.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (March 20, 2012) - Rollins was down late in the second half, but held Lander scoreless the final five minutes to post a 66-62 victory Tuesday in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
The 15th-ranked Tars (28-5) advance to the national semifinals where they meet Shaw University at 9:30 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, March 21. The Lady Bears advanced by way of a 61-58 victory over Pittsburg State.
Paris Moore hit four-straight free throws in the final seconds en route to a team-high 13 points. Sarah Blackburn chipped in 10 off the bench while Ashley Jones and Sarah Taylor each posted nine points and six rebounds.
Jasmine Judge hit 5-of-9 from 3-point range to lead the Bearcats (24-8) and all scorers with 15 points. Kaylyn Small and Ciara Lyons each netted 11.
Lander controlled most of the first half and led 22-16 with 5:36 to play in the first half. The Tars then closed the period on a small run and took a 28-26 advantage into intermission. The first half saw 10 ties and five lead changes.
Both teams struggled from the field in the opening stanza with Rollins shooting 37 percent (13-35) and Lander 31 percent (9-29).
Rollins came out of the locker room on fire and rolled off a 7-2 run to lead 35-28 with 16:42 to play. The advantage would be short lived, however, as Lander knotted things up with a 7-0 run over the next 90 seconds.
The Bearcats stayed hot from outside and went up 56-48 after Judge's fourth triple of the half.
Lyons drained a jumper at the 5:07 mark that put LU up 62-56 and would serve as the Bearcats last points of the night.
Jasmine Bradley got Rollins going with a bucket at the four-minute mark and Taylor pulled the Tars two points closer with a layup with 2:38 to play.
The Tars got a stop on defense with 96 seconds left and were given a game-tying opportunity, but Taylor's 3-pointer was off the mark with . Kourtnie Berry, however, battled for the offensive rebound and gave Rollins a fresh shot clock. Tera McDaniel drew a foul and calmly sank both to knot the score for the 14th time, 62-62.
Brittni Johnson missed a 3-pointer on Lander's ensuing possession and Moore ripped out the rebound while drawing a foul with 76 seconds to play. She hit both from the line to give Rollins a 64-62 lead.
Lander couldn't come up with a clean shot on its next trip down the floor and Taylor gathered up with a loose ball for the Tars. After a timeout, McDaniel missed a jumper up against the shot clock, but Moore was again the hero, snagging the offensive rebound and getting fouled in the process. The senior hit two more from the line and iced the game for Rollins.
Rollins ended the game shooting 40 percent (26-64) while holding Lander to 38 percent (22-57). The Tars also earned a 42-33 edge on the glass and committed 17 turnovers to 18 from the 'Cats.
Rollins and Shaw will be the second semifinal played Wednesday at Bill Greehey Arena with Ashland and Bentley opening up play. The Tars and Lady Bears are scheduled for a 9:30 p.m. Eastern tip off. The game will be broadcast live on CBS Sports, the Tars Sports Network at RollinsSports.com and locally on 91.5 FM WPRK.

Huntington's disease is a genetic disease that causes loss of cognition, abnormal movement, and depression. Patients with Huntington's disease generally begin to show symptoms between age 30 and 40, but can exhibit clinical problems in their teenage years. Huntington's disease causes early death, often after many years in high intensity and expensive nursing care. Currently, there is no treatment that alters the course of the disease. My laboratory studies how the mutant gene for Huntington's disease (the gene is called huntingtin) kills certain brain cells called neurons. With my collaborator, Phillip D. Zamore, Ph.D., my laboratory is exploring a promising new therapeutic approach called "gene silencing" or RNAi. The goal of gene silencing is to shut off the mutant huntingtingene (the one that causes the disease), while preserving the normal huntingtin gene. Our initial experiments indicate that our therapeutic strategy is effective and safe in cultured cells and mice. We are currently examining how the gene silencing can be best delivered to people. We study mouse models of Huntington's disease and intend to expand our research to study animals with large brains, as part of the pre-clinical investigations required to develop drugs used to treat people.

The party atmosphere was definitely lacking in Monaco this year for Fund Forum. Numbers were down and the usual lavish entertainment had been credit crunched. Still, the organisers professed themselves pleased with the turnout, and with the numbers of chief execs who turned up to sit on panels or address the conference.
Some providers were still doing things in style, but they were mostly the asset servicing arms of the banks. I enjoyed an evening at a swanky hotel by the sea courtesy of BNY Mellon, including a performance by electric violin duo Fuse. It was just right for Monaco!

I think I may have oversupply. How can I tell for sure, and how can I reduce my milk supply?
I think I may have oversupply. How can I tell for sure, and how can I reduce my milk supply?
This is interesting in light of your other post about your baby pulling off your breast a lot (and possibly being distracted).
This information from the excellent website kellymom on Forceful Let-down Milk may be relevant to you. It may just be that your letdown is quite forceful - is this why you think you may have oversupply or are there other factors?
Many mums who have a forceful letdown actually find that feeding more frequently helps because then the quantity of milk in the breasts at each feed is less and so the letdown is likely to be less.
I would not do anything to try and reduce your milk supply until you have ideally seen a lactation consultant or been to a breastfeeding peer support group, if possible. You don't want to reduce the breastmilk your baby is getting when they rely on it for meeting all their nutrional needs as well as giving them huge emotional, developmental and social advantages.
Is your baby gaining weight well and normally? This is a good indication that your milk supply is right for him. Just checking - is he exclusively breastfed? Do you feed him on demand (day and night)? Thanks for answering all these questions!
If you really do have an oversupply issue (which isn't that common but of course is possible) then it is not recommended to restrict your baby's breastfeeds. Instead you should offer the same side to the baby once they want their next feed. This article in Breastfeeding Basics about oversupply explains this concept in more detail.
Some mums do find they have some amount of oversupply in the first 3 months. After this time (when breastfeeding is well-established) milk supply tends to settle down ad the body knows how much breastmilk the baby needs. As your baby is only 2 months old I wouldn't do anything to try and reduce your breastmilk supply at this time.
Please do post back - we are keen to support you with breastfeeding your son.
Warm wishes,
Hi LJ,
He is definitely gaining weight well; he's exclusively breastfed and I only breastfeed him on demand - so sometimes I end up going for longer stretches than I think I should because he hasn't indicated that he's hungry yet. For example, he's sleeping longer at night now. I wake up several times throughout the night with completely engorged breasts, like the way they were when my milk initially came in, but I don't want to wake him up. When he's ready to eat, he never completely empties one breast, let alone both, and I end up expressing the rest during his morning nap. Since I'm going back to work next week, I've been trying to build up a stockpile so he'll have plenty of bottles on his first few days, but I'm wondering if I should keep this up.
It may be a forceful let down - can there be multiple let downs in a feeding? Every few feedings during the daytime, he'll gag or choke during initial let down, and then he'll do it a few more times within the same feeding. Other times, I can hear him gulping rapidly; it's like there's too much for him to handle.
Thank you!
Dear Kristen,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes - it is normal to have multiple letdowns during one feed.
For women who do have an oversupply it is recommended that they don't pump between feedings because breastmilk works on a supply and demand basis. Therefore, the more you pump the more your body will produce.... It sounds to me like the fact you have been building up a milk supply for when you are at work (which is wonderful) has meant that you now have more breastmilk available than your son actually needs because you have been telling your body (by pumping more) to produce more milk. If this is the case then when you go back to just feeding on demand and not doing additional expressing (or just doing one extra pumping a day at the same time each day - this is quite important to avoid an oversupply) then it should settle down. It would normally just take 2-3 days for your body to adjust to this.
Alternatively, or additionally, it could be that your son has started to sleep for longer fairly quickly and your breastmilk supply has not yet adjusted to this.
With a forceful letdown, you can try feeding your son in positions where your breast is pointed more upward. For example, the football hold with you reclining slightly back. Does this make sense?
Best wishes,
That absolutely makes sense. All great advice; thank you so much!
You are really welcome Kristen. I hope your milk supply settles down for you soon and that starting back at work goes well.
Do post back and let us know how you get on.
Warm wishes,
I will, thank you!

For students with a hearing loss, often listening in a classroom can be challenging because the teacher's voice is competing with background noise, echos and distance. These ADA-compliant Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) for classrooms can help them hear the sounds they want to hear (speech from the teacher or other students) while reducing the distracting noises, even if the speaker is turned away from the listener.
