How to hide requests from apps and games on Facebook?
Here's a question from one of our readers:
How can I get rid of the nosy application and friend requests I get in Facebook? For example – FarmVille, Mafia Wars, Birthday Calendar etc.
Thank you for your question. App requests are an integral part of Facebook. Recently, they made it in a way that they do not pop-up all the time. However, if want to get rid of them, this is how:
- Login to Facebook
- Find and hit the App Requests link on the left hand side in above the People Online section
- Find the application and press the "x" button next to a particular request
- Choose either Ignore <appname> or Ignore requests from <username>
- Do the same until you have removed all of the unwanted requests
You can do the same for Game Requests as well by doing the same from the side bar.

- Description
DetailsThe English "pestle" derives from classical Latin "pistillum", meaning "pounder". The classical Latin "mortarium" led to the English "mortar", meaning "receptacle for pounding" and "product of grinding or pounding". Both terms have been used traditionally in pharmacies for myriad purposes, but its kitchen uses hold no bounds either.

- Love the design
I have been looking around for a modern mortar and pestle for quite some time and am glad I finally found it. Hard to believe, but many are designed the same way and this one is very unique and matches the modern decor of my new kitchen. The only thing I don't care for is the word 'edge' on it, but was willing to compromise for the sleek cool overall design

A storm erupted on Monday as a British teenager raped by a footballer was named on social networking website Twitter.
Police promised a "robust" investigation after the girl was identified and abused on the internet within hours of Wales striker Ched Evans being found guilty of the attack.
Her name was being circulated so widely that it is understood to have been one of the top "trending", or most used, words on the Twitter site at the weekend.
The victim was on Monday night said by her family to have been "traumatised" by the loss of her anonymity and the Attorney General has warned that those who published her name could face prosecution.
Sheffield United player Evans, 23, was sentenced to five years' jail on Friday for raping the 19-year-old in a hotel after a night out in Rhyl, North Wales last May.
He admitted having sex with the victim but she told police she had no memory of the incident and believed her drinks had been spiked. Evans's friend, the Port Vale defender Clayton McDonald, 23, also admitted having sex with the victim but was found not guilty of the same charge.
Soon after Evans was convicted, his Sheffield United teammate Connor Brown accused his victim of being a "money grabbing little tramp".
Another supporter tweeted: "Birds that **** footballers then accuse them of rape are complete compensation-grabbing ***s. They need shooting."
The personal abuse against the victim on the internet soon escalated into messages in which she was named.
Jonathan Cox from Sheffield published her name, saying she "isn't a victim she's a w***e". Joshua Laughton, also from Sheffield, tweeted the name of the victim before sharing another user's message saying "she's got a massive reputation in Rhyl for doing similar things".
Both Cox and Laughton have since removed their messages from Twitter.
Rape victims are granted lifelong anonymity by the British courts and publishing a name is a criminal offence punishable by a fine of up to £5 000.
North Wales Police have described the comments on Twitter as "profoundly disturbing'"and say they contribute to the young woman's "continued trauma".
On Monday night her family revealed she was "traumatised, shocked and deeply upset" at being identified by Twitter users.
Her mother said: "Putting her name on Twitter is just another horrendous ordeal for her and we have been assured the police are going to come down like a ton of bricks on these people."
The teenager is understood to have had counselling following the rape.
Evans has been the top scorer for Sheffield United this season, scoring 29 League goals, and he was named in the Professional Footballers' Association League One team of the year on Sunday. Voting took place before his conviction.
The sister of the victim believes she has been abused because of Evans's popularity as a footballer. She said: "People are only doing it because he is a footballer, I think it is absolutely disgusting and the whole family are shocked."
While newspapers and television broadcasters follow court anonymity rulings, they are often ignored on the internet and postings are usually difficult to remove once they have been published.
Labour MP Louise Ellman said: "The naming of any rape victim should be condemned, anonymity is crucial and this case should be pursued by the authorities."
North Wales Police have begun collecting evidence. Detective Chief Inspector Steve Williams said: "As and when criminal offences are identified on such websites they will be dealt with robustly and the offenders will be brought to justice."
A spokesman for the Attorney General's Office said: "Rape victims have lifetime anonymity and the publication of a rape victim's name is a criminal offence."
When confronted about his Twitter message Cox, 20, said: "What Ched Evans did was totally unacceptable but there are thousands of people tweeting about it, not just me.
"I didn't think about the content before passing it on. I didn't even know if it was the girl involved or not."
Sheffield United on Monday announced an internal probe into the tweets from Brown. - Daily Mail

text: London, (ANI): It seems Cameron Diaz is desperate to reprise her role as Charlies Angel. The actress is calling on movie bosses to resurrect the Charlies Angels film franchise, because she would love to star in a third installment.The Hollywood beauty teamed up with Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu to bring the 1970s TV show to the big screen in the 2000 movie of the same name and they followed it up with a sequel, Charlies Angels: Full Throttle, in 2003.Diaz now admits she wants to be given the chance to turn the series into a trilogy. I would love to! Of course I would. Why wouldnt I? Itd be fun! the Daily Express quoted her as telling E! Online.But Diaz fears movie bosses might want to replace the trio with a new set of Angels, adding, I dont know if well do it. I mean, we played the movie as the new crop of Charlies Angels and we never were trying to be (or) pretend we were the other girls (from the TV show). So it might just be time for a new crop of girls to come on.

NO PHOTOS MOVE ON!! I'm not into blind dates nor blind conversations, so don't expect me to reply. And I don't give my email or number to complete strangers so don't suggest you'll send photos if I do cuz I won't.
IF YOU CAN'T CARRY CONVERSATION don't waste the minute of your time nor mine. I don't enjoy trying to get to know someone in bits and pieces here and there. If you're no more interested than that, neither am I.
IF YOU'RE WAY OVER WEIGHT, I'm sorry but I won't be interested. Not judging, it's just my preference. However, I do find that a few extra pounds can be appealing. But don't describe yourself in your profile as "A few extra pounds" when in fact you should list yourself under the "big" category. Don't kid yourself or me. If we meet I won't only be turned off by your appearance, but also by your dishonesty. And honesty is a must!! So please, no surprises. Although looks aren't everything, physical attraction has to be there. (If my photo hadn't caught your eyes attention would you have stopped)? Also, even though I have my moments, in most cases it's usually a sign of over eating and/or extreme laziness, unless it's due to other health issues. In any case, although I am a light smoker on my way of quiting, I can still out run, out hike, and if in a relationship out perform in other ways unmentionable more likely than you can. I prefer someone challenging or can at least keep up. But I wish you the best.
I WILL NOT be anyone's half time, down time, spare time, or sometimes. So don't waste my time. And don't insult my intelligence.
It seems I get a few and far between negative comments about my profile. I'd like to say that, before you judge me take into consideration that in order for me to feel offended, I first have to value your opinion. It only makes you the smaller person who hasn't matured to the level I'm looking for in a real man who grew among morals, (such as, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all). So if you feel the need to waste your time messaging me with your childish thoughts by all means do so because for me it's kind of entertaining reading the thoughts of a simple mind. However, I won't be losing any sleep.
I come from a family that is down to earth true southerners and all was raised on farms including myself most of the time growing up. I've been raised on good morals, character, and old fashion relationship values. I have a hillbilly draw, southern slang, and some redneck ways. (Not a whole lot of lady like etiquette). So if you're not into country girls skip my page.
I believe in being strong even when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles. I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and good things fall apart so better things can fall together. The truth is everyone is going to hurt you, you just got to find the ones worth suffering for. Nothing easy is worth having and nothing worth having is easy.
I am picky. But not that I want perfect, there is no such thing. It only means I'm not willing to settle.
I think opposites can attract and some of the greatest relationships fall together by the most uncommon people. It's not only about the similarities but the differences you're willing to accept. There's much joy in sharing the things you have in common with one another, but a mirror image is less magical. I mean, sure you're going to enjoy the hike of a familiar trail, but where's the adventure to explore if you don't open your mind to embark on different journeys?
I have no regrets, my worst mistake was my greatest lesson. I'm selfish, impatient, and little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best. I'm not a one in a million type of girl, I'm a once in a lifetime kind of woman.
Welp fellas, that's me in a nutshell :)

Caley cut another five
Inverness boss Terry Butcher has continued his rebuilding plans by releasing five more players.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me on Twitter @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 03/05/11 7:11pm
Inverness boss Terry Butcher has continued his rebuilding plans by releasing five more players.
Max Johnson, Chris Hogg, Gil Blumenshtein, Dani Sanchez and Eric Odhiambo will not be offered new contracts when their current deals expire at the end of the season.
They will join long-serving quartet Grant Munro, Roy McBain, Stuart Golabek and Russell Duncan in leaving the Highlands outfit after they were informed on Monday they would not be getting new deals.
Butcher said: "I can't thank all of them highly enough, or praise them enough, for everything they've given to me and the club.
"I would like to wish them every success in the future."
Contract offers
Butcher, however, has made contract offers to the other five players who were out of contract - Stuart Duff, Adam Rooney, Gavin Morrison, Shane Sutherland and Kenny Gillet.
And Ross Tokely is staying at the club after a clause in his contract triggered a one-year extension.
Butcher is also set to lose Burnley forward Alex MacDonald and Blackburn winger Aaron Doran when their loan deals expire at the end of the campaign.
However, Butcher has already expressed an interest in bringing Doran back to the club next season.

Two students in economy traveled with 4L Trophy
Students from the School of Law, school of economics and business studies in Bank, finance, insurance (ESEMAP-Ecole supérieur d'économie et de management des patrimoines) accepted a challenge : to carry out the "4L Trophy 2011" from February 17 to February 27 between France and Morocco. David Hallereau and Cyriaque Macé began this humanitarian-adventure trip 2 years ago. They finally hit the sandy road (A 4L is a vintage Renault).
The adventure began in November 2009 when the two students created the "ESEMAP 4L Trophy" association. Its mission : To fight for the poor children's access to school and to a high-quality professional training. In order to help them, the 2 resident natives loaded educational and sporting equipment into their car : they will give it to the young people in the south of Morocco.
10 days, 6 000 km
1 200 4L, and 2 400 students left from Paris. Driving their Renault 4L, the teams attempted to cover a distance of 6,000 kilometers (3700 miles). On the road, students were confronted with obstacles and challenges in the sand and dunes. The daily winners are not those who break the record time but those who clear the obstacles most easily and in the shortest distance.
A consequential budget
ESEMAP 4L Trophy collected 1 500 euros (total budget:7 500 euros) from FSDIE (University of Angers' student aid program). To raise funds, students need to find sponsors:through items displayed stuck to the car (like the university logo !), donations, and equipment gifts. They finally made ends meet and they were on their way. The two reached the finish line on February 27 : 443rd out of 1200 !

FreedomPop on verge of being purchased by a major carrier
Once SoftBank founder and Sprint Chairman Masayoshi Son decided that he couldn't fight City Hall (namely the FCC and the FTC), he decided to stop pursuing T-Mobile. He also replaced long time Sprint CEO Dan Hesse with Marcelo Claure. But Claure's goal is to allow Sprint to challenge the Verizon and AT&T duopoly alone, without requiring an acquisition. Thus, we would be very surprised if FreedomPop became the target of Sprint.
On the other hand, from its earliest days, FreedomPop was supposed to be living on the edge, offering free monthly data to subscribers. Hmm. Which carrier does that remind you of? Would T-Mobile be interested in a unique boutique like FreedomPop to help spread the word from the good book of Legere?
FreedomPop CEO Stokols said that the carrier will reach the one million subscriber mark by the end of next year. By the end of this year, FreedomPop will be available in small and large retail stores in eight major markets like New York City, Dallas and Houston. FreedomPop's wireless service will also be available in 1700 Staples stores from coast to coast before the holiday season starts.
A growing company like FreedomPop will certainly be targeted by bigger carriers who would love the opportunity to capture fresh growth. And the best part is that an acquisition like FreedomPop would probably fly under the regulator's radar. An acquisition by T-Mobile would put it that much closer to leapfrogging over Sprint, something that John Legere says will take place before the end of the year.

I always keep seeing adds for freedom pop. Are they good? Are there any gimmicks?

They use sprint network so network wise they suck. Once they are owned by tmobile that will change a bit.

i have the freedom pop hub burst which uses sprints 4g wimax, 10 gb of data for $20 per month, i use it for my business. 2 computers checking emails/facebook/sometimes watching video and i have never gone over half my alotted data. There is no customer support that i know of. monthly payments are taken out of your credit/debit card automatically with no way to pay in advance. it is by far the cheapest option out there and it works for me, now if you are not in a 4g wimax area then you might have a problem

Sounds like a soft drink. Maybe Coca-Cola is going to buy them? Free hotspot with every case of Coke?

Bought a hotspot free with free data. Can't go wrong with that! Great as a backup. Got me out of trouble a couple of times

Manglobe will be doing this season. Judging from the movie, they tend to strictly follow Hata's new art style (which makes all the characters so loli-like and shota-like, as well as simplifies details, noticeable in the characters' hair) and use flashy and very bright colors. Although Manglobe's designs don't seem too bad, I prefer J.C.Staff's.

Leave library tax alone
North Apollo Councilmen Ed Barclay, William Campbell and Tom Newton don't like the borough's tax supporting the Apollo Memorial Library. That's because they can't spend it the way they want and it actually helps people.
They say they don't how many North Apollo residents use the library. Neither do I, but every time I go, there are lots of people using the computers, reading newspapers, checking out books, researching in the genealogy section and putting the services available to good use.
More people use the library in a day than attend the monthly council meetings. I used to attend meetings, but our council didn't want to do anything for the people of North Apollo. Getting rid of the 0.75-mill library tax is just a way to take something good from the people because it's not controlled by the politicians.
I'm sure Barclay, Campbell and Newton will find 16 people to sign a petition to place a library tax question on the fall ballot. I really wish they would focus on important matters and leave the library alone.

Boston Red Sox 2008 Playoff Series Sweatshirt
1 Recommendation
hanahula's recommendation
Those Sox fans not lucky enough to be in Tropicana Stadium for Game 6 of the American League play-offs initially thought they would be out of luck. In a blooper that will go down in television history, "technical difficulties" prevented TBS from broadcasting the game until after the first inning was already over. Obviously, the Sox still knew their fans were out there, somewhere because the team reached out from the grave to force the series into a seventh and final game. Never a dull moment for Red Sox Nation. And you, too, can experience the angst tonight, Sunday, October 19, 2008 at 8:00 p.m. EST on TBS (supposedly.)

Notes on Basic 3-Manifold Topology
by Allen Hatcher
Number of pages: 61
The little that exists of the 3-manifolds book (see below for a table of contents) is rather crude and unpolished, and doesn't cover a lot of material, but it does contain a few things that aren't readily available elsewhere, like the elementary form of the Jaco-Shalen/Johannson torus decomposition theorem.

The Disney songstress is put on her collaborator wish list, while Robert Pattinson is excluded from the list of guys she is looking for.
The "Twilight" hysteria has been all over the United States and Kat DeLuna is one of those who have been caught with the fever. The "Whine Up" hitmaker exclusively told AceShowbiz that she loves vampire Edward due to his soft, sweet side.
"I love Edward Cullen from 'Twilight' because even though he's meant to be a Vampire and a killer he has a soft sweet side to him," the 22-year-old singer said. "And girls like a guy with character but with a sensitive side!"
Despite admiring the bloodsucking character, DeLuna however admitted Robert Pattinson who portrays Edward in the movie adaptation is not her type. "I think Robert Pattinson Is a bit more flashy than Edward and flashy guys are not my style! Sorry Robert!" she reasoned. "Plus Edward can fly and Robert can't!"
DeLuna is eying to release her sophomore set "Inside Out" in early fall this year. One of the singles "Push Push" which features Akon will have its music video debuted on June 16. "[The] concept is basically having people look at me through a kaleidoscope as I show a more mature, fun side of me and it contains a lot of beauty scenes while keeping the viewers and me on a very personal level because I'm literally focusing on singing to them and inviting them into my world," she revealed to us.
For a future project, Kat DeLuna would love to make a duet with Disney songstress Miley Cyrus. "I would love to collaborate with a female, probably like a Miley Cyrus because I love her voice or Pink!" she gushed.
Check back on Saturday, June 19 for the full interview.

Long Trails of the Triangle: Black Creek Greenway
Distance: 7.1 miles
Location: Cary
Surface: Paved greenway
Uses: Bicycling, running, walking
Family friendliness: Yes, but use caution at major road crossings including NW Maynard Road, Chapel Hill Road, SW Maynard Road and High House Road.
Vibe: The original 2.5 miles of this trail, opened in the early 1990s, parallels its namesake creek and is noted for its cozy, scenic qualities. The trail as a whole is more utilitarian, linking Lake Crabtree on the northeast with North Cary Park, Godbold Park and Bond Park. At Bond Park, you can take the White Oak Greenway west, eventually to the American Tobacco Trail (it's possible to detour two of the missing links and make that connection via roads).

The Supreme Court of Appeal has found that the health hazards of smoking outweigh the interests of smokers as a group.
The SCA dismissed an appeal against an order by the Pretoria High Court brought by British American Tobacco of SA (Batsa).
The appeal concerned the proper interpretation of a section of the Tobacco Products Control Act, as amended by the Tobacco Products Amendment Act, which relates to a prohibition on the promotion and advertising of tobacco products.
Batsa approached the high court for a proper interpretation of section 3 of the act.
It argued that in terms of section 16 of the constitution, the impugned prohibition limited the company's right to engage in commercial expression and the right to freedom of expression of tobacco consumers.
Batsa argued that tobacco consumers were denied the right to receive information concerning tobacco products. It sought a court order that the impugned provision did not apply to one-to-one communications between tobacco manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and retailers, and consenting adult consumers. The SCA said the appeal was whether the limitations were reasonable and justifiable.
The court held that it had to consider the rights of smokers to receive information concerning the tobacco product and the government's obligation to protect its citizens from its hazardous effects.
It found that there were powerful public health considerations for a ban on advertising and promoting tobacco products, and that the seriousness of the hazards of smoking far outweighed the interests of smokers as a group.
The SCA judgment found that the prohibition on advertising and promotion of tobacco products was reasonable and justifiable as required by the constitution. – Sapa

Soften and nourish dry lips with this moisturizing balm formulated with Shea Butter.
‹‹ I just bought this lip balm on 8/1. It smells so good, like all l'Occitane Shea butter products. We've had a long stint of hot weather & my lips were dry, chapped, cracked at the corners & hurt pretty badly. Used the balm & felt immediate relief on my lips. The balm lasted many hours and didn't eventually dry out my lips as other lip products do. It's also very soothing. It has a matte finish but still makes your lips look & feel soft. Been using it a few days now & my lips are healed! ››

No cash for fight to halt child abuse
THE Premier, Morris Iemma, and the Treasurer, Michael Costa, have refused to provide new funding to tackle an epidemic of child sexual abuse in Aboriginal communities, ignoring the pleas of three ministers and the taskforce that identified the crisis.
Almost a year after receiving a report from an expert panel warning that abuse in Aboriginal communities was four times the average, the State Government has responded with a "five-year plan" containing 88 recommendations - but no extra funding to implement them.
The Federal Government, the State Opposition and taskforce members have expressed dismay at the Government's response.
The Herald understands Mr Costa blocked any new funding despite representations by the Attorney-General, Bob Debus, the Community Services Minister, Reba Meagher, and the Health Minister, John Hatzistergos.
The acting federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister, John Cobb, yesterday called on Mr Iemma to override Mr Costa and fund the recommended programs.
The state ministers are believed to have sought funding of between $20 million and $40 million a year. The Opposition has compared the request with $25 million the Government recently gave to the Lane Cove Tunnel company to compensate it for delaying road closures until after the March election.
Professor Chris Cunneen, from the University of NSW and a member of the taskforce, yesterday likened the lack of new funding to an inadequate response by governments in the early 1990s to the royal commission on Aboriginal deaths in custody.
Because of the lack of new funding, the Herald understands, the Government has scrapped a recommendation that a special case worker, dealing with child sexual assault, be provided to each Aboriginal community.
"The issue of funding is very important because it will require agencies to find funds to do this out of their existing budgets," Professor Cunneen said.
"While the Government can say it's funding the recommendations, we don't really know how they're doing that if there's no clear allocation of resources."
The Opposition Leader, Peter Debnam, said the Government had released its response during the holiday season because it was "woefully inadequate".
Professor Cunneen feared the response to the report - Breaking the Silence: Creating the Future, which the Government received in February but did not release for four months - would be "buried" in the lead-up to the state election.
The taskforce's chairwoman, Marcia Ella-Duncan, warned last month a decision not to fund the programs would be inhumane.
A Government source said the lack of funds was disastrous: "They've been sitting on this for ages. There was a lot of work in preparing budget proposals with an understanding this was a major thing the Government wanted to address.
"Treasury said they had no money ... [and] the next day put $25 million in for the tunnel in Lane Cove. There's a big opportunity to tackle a major problem and they have just missed it. It means we can't do as much as quickly."
The report found there existed a culture of "silence, denial and inappropriate responses such as protecting the perpetrator".
The Government's response said it would boost surveillance and evidence-gathering efforts by police for pedophile cases. It also promised alternative accommodation for Aboriginal people granted bail and to "encourage" police prosecutors to place more restrictions on bail for offenders.
A spokesman for Mr Iemma, Ben Wilson, said the Government was boosting spending in the Department of Community Services, which would benefit Aboriginal communities and stop abuse. He said the report had found ways to better employ existing resources.
Mr Costa's office refused to comment.

State cites, will fine Westmoreland water agency following safety advisory
The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County has been cited and will be fined for failing to properly inform the public about health and safety risks associated with a boil-water advisory it issued last month.
John Poister, a spokesman for the Department of Environmental Protection, said the water utility, which serves 120,000 customers in five counties, did not meet federal disclosure guidelines when it issued the advisory on Oct. 24.
Poister said that while a citation was issued on Friday, a fine will be imposed at a later date.
"The fine could be well in excess of $1,000," Poister said.
The advisory extended through four days when a filter failed an inspection at a treatment plant that processes water from Beaver Run Reservoir in the northern section of Westmoreland County.
The initial alert failed to notify the public about what contaminants could have gotten into the water supply and all associated health risks that could have resulted from the infiltration.
"People have to know what it is they should be concerned about," Poister said.
Authority Manager Chris Kerr said he was given no indication during a three-hour meeting on Friday with DEP officials that a citation would be issued.
Kerr, who serves as president and co-owner of Resource Development and Management Inc., the private consulting company that is paid $1 million a year to run the authority, said the fine could be as high as $5,000.
"RDM is responsible for carrying out the emergency-response plan, so if there is a fine issued, RDM will pay for it," Kerr said.
Authority board Chairman Randy Roadman could not be reached for comment.
The authority said tests before and after the filter failure found no traces of bacteria in the water.
The DEP told authority officials to issue the boil-water advisory at 4 p.m. Oct. 24 because of a filter failure during a routine inspection of the George R. Sweeney Treatment plant in Bell Township. State officials said the precaution was necessary in case algae or dangerous microscopic bacteria had slipped past the malfunctioning filter.
Three hours later, authority officials issued the advisory through faxes sent to newsrooms of local newspapers and television stations. The advisory only said there was a "potential deficiency of the filtration barrier."
A day later, at a news conference, authority officials disclosed the potential contaminant in the algae and referred questions about health risks to the state Department of Health.
DEP officials praised the authority for how it handled technical aspects related to flushing water pipes to ensure no contaminants remained in the system.
The citation does not address the authority's failure to be specific about the area covered by the advisory.
Officials said the authority met state guidelines that required telephone notification to customers to be made within 24 hours. Authority personnel said notification was completed in less than seven hours, although about 12 percent of the 50,000 customers in the affected area were not contacted.
Meanwhile, heavy usage crashed the authority's website. Social media was not used the first day of the advisory and only sparingly later.
The authority board directed RDM to investigate its own performance.
Kerr said the authority has outlined changes to its public-response plan, including upgrading its website and incorporating social media.

Shuster Named PCSC Player of the Week
Sterling Shuster earned her first career PCSC Player of the Week honor after hitting four home runs in four games, including a walk-off, last week in a series versus San Diego.
April 30, 2013
LOS ANGELES - Sterling Shuster was named the Pacific Coast Softball Conference Player of the Week, the first such honor of her career, the league office announced Tuesday.
Shuster had arguably the best weekend of her career, going 5-for-12 (.417) with four home runs, eight RBIs and four runs scored in LMU's four-game series against San Diego. The sophomore second baseman had a .533 on-base percentage and a 1.417 slugging percentage in the four games.
In the series opener, she accounted for all four Lion runs, launching a three-run homer in the third that gave the Lions a 3-2 lead and adding a solo shot in the fifth to provide a two-run cushion. In game two, she gave the Lions a 1-0 lead with a solo shot in the fourth. She added a single in the ninth to finish 2-for-4 in the 2-1, 10-inning win. Her home run heroics continued in game three as she snapped a 1-1 tie with a two-run, walk-off home run in the eighth innings to give LMU the 3-1 win. While she did not collect a hit in the final game, she did draw two walks and collected an RBI when she reached on an error in the seventh.
All told, Shuster accounted for eight of the Lions' 12 runs in the series. After hitting just two home runs in her previous 43 games this season, she tripled her season total in home runs in the four-game span.
The Lions (30-21, 13-7 PCSC) return to action Wednesday with a non-conference game at No. 15/17 UCLA. LMU's regular season then concludes on Saturday and Sunday, May 4-5 when it hosts PCSC rival Utah Valley in a four game series. First pitch at Smith Field is scheduled for noon. In addition, the Lions' senior class will be honored prior to Sunday's start.

Good day to all,
I want/need to create a calculator for a sales team to calculate possible earnings based on commissions, accounts, and people per account, that type of thing. Has anyone ever done something like that or have the grey matter to whip something like that up? I am waiting for the logic from sales but I want to be proactive and get my head wrapped around the gist of it.
Has anyone ever created a calculator?

Nick Kyrgios into US Open third round
Serena and Djokovic sail through
Novak Djokovic has reached the third round of a grand slam for the 25th consecutive time at the US Open.
Joining him in the last 32 is 2012 winner Andy Murray and Canadian fifth seed Milos Raonic.
World No.1 Djokovic breezed past France's Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-1 6-3 6-0, firing 13 aces and 33 winners as the 2011 champion comfortably remained on course for a fifth successive final appearance.
"It's very windy, but I managed to adjust to the conditions that obviously are not easy for myself and my opponent," said Djokovic, who next meets Sam Querrey of the United States, after his brief 90-minute appearance.
Eighth-seeded Murray brushed aside 27-year-old German qualifier Matthias Bachinger, the world No.235, with a 6-3 6-3 6-4 win.
Murray exhibited none of the physical problems he suffered in the first round when he was cramping, sending down 36 winners past Bachinger, a contemporary from his junior days.
Raonic progressed with a 7-6 (7-4) 5-7 6-4 7-6 (7-3) win over German qualifier Peter Gojowczyk on the back of 26 aces and 64 winners.
The United States only saw three men making the second round - the country's lowest total in the history of the tournament - but 13th seed John Isner and Querrey have made it to the last 32.
Isner, a quarter-finalist in 2011, beat Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 6-2, while Querrey beat Spain's Guillermo Garcia Lopez for the fourth time in four meetings - including last week's Winston Salem warm-up - thanks to a 6-3 6-4 6-4 victory.
Australian 19-year-old Nick Kyrgios, who famously defeated Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon, reached the third round by seeing off Italy's Andreas Seppi 6-4 7-6 (7-2) 6-4.
He will next face Spanish veteran Tommy Robredo, who came back from two sets to love down for the seventh time in seeing off Italy's Simone Bolelli 5-7 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 6-3 6-2.

Jennifer Garner shot down Tom Cruise
Before marrying Katie Holmes and turning her into a zombie, Tom Cruise tried having relationships with Penelope Cruz and Sofia Vergara. He also unsuccessfully tried to land Ben Affleck's current bride Jennifer Garner, according to Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography written by Princess Di biographer Andrew Morton. Us Weekly reports:
Morton writes that Cruise left messages on the Alias star's voice mail in 2004 asking "if she knew what freedom was," but his advances were rebuffed.
Tom Cruise's pick-up line: Do you know what freedom is? I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve standing on a step-stool that reads "Tommy's Helper" to wash your hands. That's just my educated guess. Of course, I can't say I've ever felt the thrill of driving a car with alphabet blocks strapped to my feet, so maybe Tom Cruise knows something I don't.

Full Faith and Credit Clause Lawyers
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
What is the Full faith and Credit Clause?
The Full Faith and Credit Clause is a clause in the first section of the Federal Constitution which requires judges to recognize and enforce valid decrees and judgments from other state's courts. Full Faith and Credit is typically used to enforce marriage/divorce certificates, child custody rulings, restraining orders, money judgments and criminal convictions.
Are There Situations In Which Full Faith and Credit Would Not Be Enforced?
The purpose of the Full Faith and Credit Clause is ensure that laws in the United States are applied consistently and equally across the country. Full Faith and Credit does not apply to laws or rulings which were overturned, either by the institution which originally gave the decree, or by an intuition with higher authority (such as a court of appeals).
In practice, Full Faith and Credit is usually honored unless the decree clashes with a public policy of the state resisting enforcement.
How Does the Full Faith and Credit Clause Impact Child Custody?
All 50 states and the District of Columbia have passed the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, which requires states to recognize and enforce custody decisions made in other states. This means that a custody ruling in one state must be followed in every state in the United States.
Which State has Jurisdiction over my Child Custody Case?
Determining which state has the power to make custody rulings for your child can be difficult. Interstate jurisdiction can depend on where you reside, where your child resides, and where other members of your child's family reside.
Do I Need a Lawyer for My Child Custody Case?
If you are seeking to establish or modify custody over your child, it may be wise to consult with a family lawyer to discuss your options. Working with an experienced family lawyer can help you understand your rights and help you deal with the complicated legal system.

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5 Build Identifier: Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5 Bug description: The tokenization of words in firefox for spellcheck is wrong when there is a ZWJ/ZWNJ/ZWS in the word. How to Reproduce: In firefox 3 beta 5(I used this. can be reproduced in old versions too), type any word with a ZWJ/ZWNJ/ZWS in between the word. English word itself is sufficient. Type "catwalc" with a ZWNJ in between t and w. The red underline comes for the word fragment walc and not catwalc. I used English word for simplifying the explanation. Even though the Joiner characters in the word is not common in English, it is present in many other languages. Indic Languages , especially my mother tongue Malayalam(ml_IN) uses this extensively- in between the word as well as at the end of word. I will list some examples 1. അവന് (he) There is a ZWJ at the end of word 2. വില്പന (selling) There is a ZWJ in between the word 3. കായ്കറികള് (vegetables) There is a ZWNJ in between the word. Some Bengali(bn_IN) words র্যান্ডম (ZWJ) বাল্ব (ZWNJ) নেক্স্ট (ZWNJ) রেকোগ্নাইস (ZWNJ) ভবিষ্যদ্দ্রষ্টা (ZWNJ) If any of these words are not present in the word, user add it to the dictionary, the spelling error remains there with red underline. I will explain one case: If the word xyz<zwj> is not there in the dictionary, and if we add to dictionary, still xyz<zwj> is a word with wrong spelling. But if there is a word xyz in the dictionary already, xyz<zwj> will not show any spelling errors. This is because the word used for spell check after the wrong tokenization is "xyz" To verify whether this is a hunspell problem, I used the same hunspell word list in Openoffice 2.4 and everything was working fine there. Hunspell developers informed me that the problem might be in firefox and I found that it is true. Impact: All languages with using ZWJ/ZWNJ/ZWS in words will get affected. Spell check wont work for those words. Fix to be done: Correct the word tokenization of firefox for spellcheck in textfields. Reproducible: Always Actual Results:

In bug 455236 we have a related question, which was, is there really a standardized spelling with those characters? At least for Telugu, it sounded that that's not the case. I personally would consider a ZWNJ to be a spelling mistake in English words, but I don't know, CCing smontagu on that. Nemeth, did this discussion come up elsewhere in hunspell land so far?

(In reply to comment #1) > I personally would consider a ZWNJ to be a spelling mistake in English words, > but I don't know, CCing smontagu on that. I don't see that that question is relevant here. AFAICT, the issue that needs to be fixed is that we should be passing the word including ZWNJ etc to hunspell (as we currently do e.g. with SHY). Hunspell can then make the call whether the specific control characters should be transparent or meaningful or Just Wrong in the particular language.

The human esophagus is composed of striated muscle proximally and of smooth muscle distally with a transition zone between the two. Striated muscle contracts much faster than smooth muscle. The change in pressure over time (dP/dt) of the contraction amplitude should therefore be higher in proximal than in distal esophagus, reflecting the presence of striated muscle proximally. There were 34 normal esophageal manometries of patients analyzed for swallow amplitude and dP/dt in the pharynx and esophagus. An additional 11 healthy controls were similarly studied. Amplitudes in pharynx and proximal and distal esophagus were not different. The midesophagus had a pressure trough (P < 0.001). The dP/dt in the pharynx was much higher than that in the esophagus (P < 0.001). The dP/dt of proximal and distal esophagus were of the same order of magnitude. The manometric behavior of the striated muscle portion of the proximal esophagus differs from that seen in the pharynx and shows similar characteristics to distal esophageal smooth muscle.
- esophageal manometry
- change in pressure over time
- smooth muscle
- striated muscle
according to the classical teaching, the proximal one-third of the esophagus is primarily composed of striated muscle and the distal two-thirds are composed of smooth muscle with a zone of gradual transition from one muscle type to the other between the two (20). This concept has been challenged, however, by anatomic studies in human cadavers, which showed that the striated muscle segment is often much more limited in extent (18, 26). The classical concept is supported by the common occurrence of a pressure trough in the middle esophagus, which is usually attributed to a transition zone from striated to smooth muscle (2, 11, 18, 19, 24). Striated muscle contracts faster than smooth muscle (10). Therefore, one would expect a steeper upstroke of the esophageal peristaltic contraction, i.e., a higher change in pressure over time (dP/dt), in the proximal compared with the distal esophagus.
Normal motility recordings were reviewed to test the hypotheses that the dP/dt in the proximal esophagus is higher than that in the distal esophagus due to the differences of velocity of contraction between the two muscle types.
Esophageal manometry studies of 34 patients (20 females and 14 males) referred to our laboratory between 1992 and 1995 for complaints of chest pain or heartburn were reviewed. The mean age was 47 yr (range 28–82 yr). These studies were selected for analysis because their initial interpretation was that of normal esophageal motility. All patients were studied using an identical manometric protocol as described in Manometry and Measurements.
An additional group of 11 healthy controls with no history of esophageal symptoms were subsequently studied with an identical protocol. These included 7 females and 4 males with a median age of 41 yr (range 21–61 yr). This control group was added to verify that observations in the patients with normal manometric studies truly described normal physiological findings.
Esophageal and pharyngeal manometry was performed with a catheter containing four solid-state transducers (Konigsberg Instruments, Pasadena, CA). Three of these transducers, one circumferential (distal) and two unidirectional, spaced 5 cm apart, were used in both the distal and proximal esophagus. The pharynx was measured with a second circumferential transducer, to compensate for the radial asymmetry of the pressure in this region (23). The manometry catheter was connected to a computer, and the data were stored on disk. All studies were performed after at least a 4-h fast. The catheter was passed through the nose and advanced into the stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) was studied using the slow pull-through technique. Then the catheter was placed with the distal sensor 3 cm above the proximal border of the LES, thereby placing two of the remaining transducers at 8 and 13 cm above the LES. Ten wet swallows, 5 ml of water each, were recorded. The catheter was then repositioned with the most proximal transducer being located 1 cm below the distal border of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), thus placing the two distal transducers at 6 and 11 cm below the UES. Ten water swallows were repeated. Esophageal manometry was done with the subject being studied in the supine position. For the study of the pharynx, patients and controls were changed into a sitting position, and the catheter was withdrawn to place one circumferential transducer at the proximal border of the UES and one in the pharynx 3 cm above that. Five swallows, also 5 ml of water each, were given for this part of the study. Catheter design and placements described above are illustrated in Fig.1.
For analysis, the studies were loaded onto a computer and the tracing was displayed on the screen. After adjustment of the esophageal baseline, the swallows were analyzed individually for all three catheter positions: distal and proximal esophageal as well as pharyngeal. Two parameters of muscle activity were assessed: amplitude and dP/dt. Amplitudes were measured as the difference between peak and baseline pressure. For calculation of the dP/dt an approximately linear segment on the ascending limb of the contraction wave was chosen. The change of pressure over this segment was divided by the corresponding change of time (Fig. 2). Ten swallows were analyzed at each transducer position for each individual, and the means of these values were used for further assessment. Amplitudes and dP/dt were compared between the different positions: pharynx at 3 cm above the UES, proximal esophagus at 1 cm below the UES, midesophagus at 6 cm below the UES, and distal esophagus as the average of 3 and 8 cm above the LES. The correlation between amplitude and dP/dt was calculated for the pharynx and the proximal and distal esophagus. The presence or absence of a distinct pressure trough in the middle esophagus was also identified. This was defined as contraction amplitude at either 13 cm above the LES and/or 6 cm below the UES of less than one-third of the mean distal esophageal amplitude (average between 3 and 8 cm above LES).
Amplitudes and dP/dt between recording sites were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Newman-Keuls method for multiple comparisons. Comparisons of mean contraction values at specific recording sites between patient normals and healthy controls were made using unpairedt-test. Correlation between dP/dt and amplitude was calculated with two-variable linear regression. Two- tailedP values ≤0.05 were considered significant. Data are expressed as means ± SE. The statistical software used was True Epistat (4th Ed.; Epistat Services, Richardson, TX).
Mean contraction amplitudes in the pharynx (131 ± 8.2 mmHg) and the proximal (105 ± 6.6 mmHg) and distal esophagus (116 ± 6.2 mmHg) for the 34 patients with normal manometry studies were not different from each other (P > 0.05). A lower mean contraction amplitude was found in the middle esophagus (56 ± 4.6 mmHg) than in the proximal or distal esophagus or in the pharynx (P < 0.001, Fig.3). Only 9 of the 34 patients (26%) had a distinct pressure trough in the midesophagus. Similar results were found in the 11 controls. Mean contraction amplitudes in the pharynx (115 ± 27 mmHg) and the proximal (83 ± 9 mmHg) or distal (95 ± 10 mmHg) esophagus were not different from each other (P > 0.05), and mean amplitude in the middle esophagus (43 ± 4 mmHg) was significantly lower than that occurring at the other three sites (P < 0.02). Mean values were not significantly different from those at corresponding sites in the patients (P > 0.05). Only 2 of the 11 controls (18%) had a distinct pressure trough in the midesophagus.
For the 34 patients mean dP/dt in the pharynx of 1,134 ± 37.6 mmHg/s was higher than the mean dP/dt of either the proximal or distal esophagus (P < 0.001, Fig.4). Although the dP/dt was numerically considerably higher in the proximal (127 ± 5.8 mmHg/s) compared with the distal esophagus (89 ± 4.5 mmHg/s), this difference was not significant when analyzed together with the pharyngeal dP/dt using ANOVA. Again, the findings in the healthy controls were similar. Mean dP/dt in the pharynx (1,236 ± 10 mmHg/s) was higher than the mean dP/dtat either proximal (127 ± 23 mmHg/s) or distal (95 ± 10 mmHg/s) esophagus (P < 0.001).
For the 34 patients, there was positive correlation between dP/dt and the amplitude of swallows. This correlation was stronger in the esophagus (r = +0.81 proximal and +0.91 distal) than in the pharynx (r = +0.68, P < 0.001 for all three). The corresponding regression equations arey = 26 + 0.98x for the proximal esophagus andy = 7.3 + 0.71x for the distal esophagus. The slopes of these two regression lines are not different (P > 0.05). The combined regression equation for proximal and distal esophagus isy = 15.1 + 0.86x. The slope of the combined regression line is eight times less steep than that of the pharynx (y = 138 + 6.9x,P < 0.001). These relationships are shown in Fig 5. Strong positive correlations between dP/dt and amplitude of swallows was also found for the 11 healthy controls (pharynx r = + 0.99; proximal esophagus r = +0.86; distal esophagus r = + 0.92,P < 0.05 for all). Again, regression equations indicate that the slope in the pharynx (y = 114 + 11.7x) is approximately 10 times steeper than that in the proximal (y = 59 + 2.2x) or distal (y = 8 + 0.9x) esophagus.
According to the classical teaching, the upper one-third of the esophagus is primarily composed of striated muscle and the distal two-thirds are composed of smooth muscle. Between these two zones is a transitional zone where the two muscle types gradually change (20). This concept appears to be derived from a publication of Goetsch (8), who studied the esophagi of only two men and found that the proximal 25–30% consisted of striated muscle, whereas the distal 60% was smooth muscle, with the remainder being mixed. Two reports in which this question was studied more systematically gave somewhat different results. Treacy et al. (26) dissected the proximal esophagi of 10 routine autopsy cases at 2-cm intervals, and Meyer et al. (18) dissected postmortem esophagi of 11 patients without known esophageal disease at 1-cm intervals. The segment of exclusively striated muscle was confined to the most proximal esophagus. In the first study smooth muscle first appeared on the average 3.9 cm (range 2–6 cm) from the top of the intrinsic esophageal musculature. In the second study only the upper 0.9 ± 0.3 (SE) cm of the circular and the upper 1.4 ± 0.5 cm of the longitudinal muscle layer were purely striated. The point where striated and smooth musculature were present in equal amounts (50% each) was at 5.8 cm (range 4–8 cm) and at 4.7 ± 0.6 cm, respectively. The distal 62% (14.3 ± 0.8 cm) of the inner circular and 54% (12.4 ± 0.9 cm) of the outer longitudinal muscle layer of the esophagi studied by Meyer et al. (18) were exclusively composed of smooth musculature. The zone in between, accounting for 34% and 41%, respectively, was composed of a mixture of smooth and striated musculature. The histological composition of the esophageal musculature translates into functional parameters. Mayrand and Diamant (17) gave normal volunteers amyl nitrite, a smooth muscle relaxant, and mapped the esophagus manometrically. When manometry was compared after amyl nitrite with baseline, the proximal 5–6 cm of the esophagus were found to be unaffected, whereas amyl nitrite abolished all swallow-induced contractile activity in the distal 11–14 cm. Between these, there was a transition zone with reduced peristaltic amplitude. Radionuclide transit studies of patients with scleroderma and achalasia, both diseases affecting the smooth musculature, show intact function of the most proximal esophagus with impaired bolus clearance in the middle and distal esophagus (21). In the present study the proximal esophageal pressure transducer was placed 1 cm below the UES, which, according to all of the previously described data, is an area of purely striated muscle. Even if one accounts for the swallow-associated upward movement of the larynx, which results in an orad movement of the UES of 2.0–2.5 cm, the transducer is still in an area with exclusively or at least predominantly striated musculature, particularly because the transducer also moves upward, although to a lesser distance (13).
In vitro studies indicate that striated muscle contracts 10–50 times faster than smooth muscle, the latter reaching full contraction after 500 ms and the former after only 10–50 ms (10, 25). Therefore the dP/dt of striated muscle might be expected to be 10–50 times higher than that of smooth muscle, provided the forces generated are within the same order of magnitude. This should be true, because the maximum strength of contraction per unit cross-sectional area developed by smooth muscle is equal to that of striated muscle (10, 25). Based on these facts, we hypothesized that the proximal, i.e., striated muscular esophagus, would have a higher dP/dt than the distal, smooth muscle esophagus. Although this was the case in our study, the difference between the two regions was small. The proximal esophageal dP/dt was only 1.4 times higher than the distal in the patients having normal motility studies and 1.5 times higher in the controls, both being much less than the expected factor of 10–50. There are two other reports in the literature that compared the proximal and distal esophageal dP/dt. Unlike our study, where amplitudes of distal and proximal esophagus were assessed relative to LES and UES, respectively, transducers in these studies were placed relative to the LES only, resulting in no defined position of the proximal transducer relative to the UES. Humphries and Castell (11), who assessed the esophagus in intervals of 2.5 cm, found no difference between proximal and distal esophageal dP/dt. Stef et al. (24), on the other hand, did find a higher dP/dt in the proximal esophagus. Assessed with water perfusion manometry, the dP/dt was 241 ± 19 (SE) mmHg/s in the proximal esophagus compared with 74 ± 3 and 85 ± 5 mmHg/s in the distal esophagus (24). However, the positioning of the catheter relative to the LES only might be a problem in this study, in which the most proximal recording site was placed at 21 cm above LES. Considering an average manometric length of the esophagus of 23 cm, with a range from 17 to 30 cm, it is possible that in some of the five subjects, this transducer was placed in the UES or pharynx, causing a falsely high dP/dt in the proximal esophagus (15).
One possible explanation for the absence of the expected difference of the dP/dt between proximal and distal esophagus is that the in vitro characteristics of muscle strips do not translate readily into the in vivo peristaltic contraction of the intact esophagus. A peristaltic contraction has two components, circular contraction, i.e., closure of the lumen, and propagation of the contraction wave. How much each of them contribute to the pressure profile is not known. In addition, any effect of longitudinal muscle contraction is also difficult to analyze. We assumed that circular contraction, i.e., shortening of the circular musculature, plays a much larger role than the propagation of the contraction wave. We also assumed that the biomechanical characteristics of muscle contraction translate into the pressure profile in the esophagus. This assumption is supported by studies in another hollow organ, the heart, which have shown the dP/dt in the ventricle to be a function of the velocity of myocardial contraction. Interventions increasing myocardial inotropy, such as exercise or the administration of norepinephrine, increase the dP/dt, and patients with myocardial disease have a low dP/dt (7, 16).
Our study is unique from others previously reported in that we also measured pressures in the pharynx, a purely striated muscle structure, in addition to those of the esophagus. The dP/dt of the pharynx was 9–10 times higher than that of the proximal and 13 times higher than that of the distal esophagus in the two study groups. This is within the order of magnitude by which striated and smooth muscle strips differ in their contraction velocities and therefore supports our assumption that muscle contraction properties translate into manometric parameters.
Because of the high interindividual variation of amplitudes and dP/dt, we calculated the correlation and regression characteristics between these two parameters to obtain a third parameter of muscle performance. There was good positive correlation between amplitude and dP/dt in the proximal and distal esophagus and in the pharynx in both study groups. The slopes of the proximal and distal esophagus were not significantly different. However, the slope of the pharynx was ∼7 times steeper than that of the proximal and 10 times steeper than that of the distal esophagus.
According to our data, the proximal striated muscle of the esophagus behaves manometrically more like the distal smooth muscle of the esophagus than like the striated muscle of the pharynx. This relationship was found both in a small group of healthy controls and a larger group of patients having normal esophageal motility studies. Three reasons could account for this. First, the biomechanical properties of striated muscle of the proximal esophagus could be markedly different from striated musculature in the remainder of the body. Second, differences of the innervation of this type of muscle in the esophagus could result in slower contraction. Third, resistance to contraction and the geometry of lumen closure could differ between the three sites studied.
There are data indicating that striated muscle of esophageal origin contracts slower than striated muscle from extremities. Muscle strips of the former reach peak amplitude of contraction after about 75 ms compared with only 10–50 ms for skeletal striated muscle (5, 10). In the cat maximum shortening velocity of esophageal striated muscle is 50% less than that of soleus muscle. Similar results have been found in the rat and sheep (1, 6). Although these studies demonstrate that striated muscle of the esophagus contracts slower than ordinary striated muscle, the extent of this difference does not explain the 9- to 10-fold higher dP/dt of the pharynx compared with the proximal esophagus found in the present study.
The innervation of striated musculature of the esophagus has some characteristics that are unique. It is one of the few striated muscles that is not under voluntary control. It has, analogous to the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, a myenteric plexus situated between the longitudinal and circular muscle layer, the function of which is not clear. Like the striated musculature of the rest of the body, the muscle fibers of esophageal striated muscle have motor end plates innervated by lower motor neurons (9, 12). However, there are some morphological peculiarities pertaining to the innervation of this tissue. Unlike ordinary striated muscle, which is innervated by myelinated fibers, studies in the mouse and rat have found only unmyelinated nerve fibers innervating motor end plates of striated muscle of esophageal origin (9, 22). Because unmyelinated fibers have a slower conduction velocity than myelinated fibers, this may cause a delay of muscle contraction. However, because the intramural plexus is very short, this is not considered to be important (9). Esophageal striated muscle of guinea pigs has fewer motor end plates, with shallower and less branched clefts than those of striated muscle from extremities (27). A similar situation is found in the rat, where motor end plates of esophageal striated musculature are smaller compared with ordinary striated muscle. They also have morphological features, such as closeness of the terminal axones, which are reminiscent of not fully differentiated motor end plates found at the time of birth (9). The simpler structure of motor end plates of esophageal striated muscle may limit the speed of neuromuscular transmission. However, it is believed that the rate-limiting step in the velocity of contraction is confined to the rate of formation of cross bridges between actin and myosin and not to neuromuscular transmission (10, 27). A slower contraction velocity of striated muscle of esophageal origin may also result from a delay of electromechanical coupling. Latency periods after direct electrical stimulation of this type of muscle are about twice as long as those of the extensor digitorum longus muscle in the rat (1).
When the esophagus is studied in vivo, as opposed to isolated muscle preparations, factors other than only the contraction properties of the muscle in question determined our results. These include resistance to lumen closure by tissue and bolus as well as differences in the geometry of lumen closure. All of these could explain the lower proximal esophageal dP/dt compared with the pharynx, because there are marked anatomic differences between the two. However, they should not explain the similar dP/dt of proximal and distal esophagus, unless one would postulate that these factors only impede contraction in the proximal esophagus. The esophagus is a tubular organ composed of three layers (mucosa, submucosa, and muscularis propria) and is of similar structure throughout its whole length (20). The esophagus relaxes at the front of the bolus and contracts at its tail, thereby propelling the bolus (12). As it contracts against the tail of the bolus, it encounters some resistance. High bolus resistance would again have to occur only in the proximal esophagus to explain the dP/dt values found in our study. However, peristalsis is relatively homogeneous along the esophagus, and no data suggest that there is more resistance in the proximal esophagus (12). The same applies to differences of the geometry of lumen closure.
Our data confirm the presence of the well-established pressure trough in the middle esophagus (11, 19, 24), although noted in less than one-third of the subjects in both groups using the station manometric protocol in our study. Because it occurs at the region of the transition from striated to smooth muscle, it has been explained by the mixture of two muscle types. This assumption has been verified in the opossum, where it was shown that the trough in esophageal peristaltic amplitude is located within the histologically determined transition zone (14). Clouse and co-workers (2-4) recorded esophageal pressures at 1-cm intervals during swallows and generated surface plots (the 3 axes being time, position within esophagus, amplitude) and isobaric contour plots, which allow detailed analysis of the intraesophageal pressure profile. The presence of a pressure trough in the midesophagus was confirmed. The plots had different shape and peristaltic velocity between proximal and distal esophagus, suggesting differences in the neuromuscular properties of these regions. These findings underscore the duality of the esophageal muscular function, a duality that corresponds with the histology of the esophageal musculature. The neuromuscular organization of the esophagus might be even more complex.
In summary, our study indicates that striated muscle of the proximal esophagus contracts slower than expected. Although this is in agreement with data showing lower contraction velocity of muscle strips from the striated part of the esophagus and with morphological features likely to result in a less efficient neuromuscular transmission of this tissue, none of these factors is capable of explaining the extent of delay in contraction. We studied both a small group of healthy volunteers and a larger group of patients with normal esophageal motility studies. We measured the performance of the esophagus in vivo and therefore assessed the whole contraction apparatus, including biomechanical, neuromuscular, and tissue resistance factors. The results indicate that a decrease of contraction velocity distinguishes esophageal striated muscle from typical striated muscle and supports the previously expressed opinion that this type of tissue should be classified as a subtype of striated muscle, i.e., visceral striated muscle (27).

اسهم البنك العربي الاسبوع القادم Fueled by media, attention and the current economic climate, a city that has always been known for its innovation has proven to be a choice destination for the entrepreneurial spirit. In the past five years, more than 1,400 start-ups have been established in Boston alone, according to boston.areastartups.com, a networking and news website for start-ups in the city.
خيار ثنائي آلة حاسبة التجارة Facebook, Zipcar, LevelUp and other successful once-start-ups have their roots in New England's economic capital – and not without good cause.
اى فوركس "There are not a lot of cities in the world where you have all the ingredients you need for start-up companies," said Scott Kirsner, author of the Boston Globe's Innovation Economy column, which covers inside technology, life sciences, start-ups and venture capital in New England. "But I think Boston is definitely one of them."
شركة ادميرال ماركتس While there is no precise formula for a nurturing, entrepreneurial environment, there are several major components.
أفضل الخيارات الثنائية مستشار الخبراء "The single biggest part is the abundance of students and talent in a very clustered area," said Greg Skloot, president of the Northeastern Entrepreneurs Club and a senior business and technology major.
توصيات اسهم الحمادي Gordon Adomdza, assistant professor of entrepreneurship and innovation said being a smaller city gives Boston an advantage.
الخيارات الثنائية الرسوم البيانية "Boston is really an ideal city for start-ups because of its size. You meet people who go to all the same events and all the same conferences," Adomdza said. "It's very easy to know people here."
وسطاء ثنائية الخيار أستراليا With more than quarter of a million students and some of the world's most renowned educational institutions, Boston is conducive to talent. However, it takes more than technical know-how and a dream to bring an idea to entrepreneurial life.
http://snelnaarschiphol.nl/?fantomas=forex-metal-gratis-%24100&0bd=99 forex metal gratis 0 "You don't find really healthy start-up environments in places where there isn't money," Kirsner said. "It can be wealthy people who like to invest in start-up companies, or venture capital firms tapping into the talent pool when they need scientists, programmers, or marketers to start a company."
الخيارات الثنائية يبوك Depending on the industry and nature of the business, start-up costs can be anywhere from a few thousand dollars to a $100 million. Boston provides the intimacy needed for close professional relationships as well as a financial climate conducive to venture investments, Skloot and Kirsner said. Though this community exists, some question its accessibility.
خيارات ثنائية باستخدام تحركات الأسعار Maorun Najjar, winner of the Northeastern Entrepreneurship Club's Start-up Challenge and a sophomore computer engineering major, said he felt while Boston has a great number of educational institutions, there is no easy way for students from different schools to connect.
استراتيجية الخيارات الثنائية Nadex "There is one thing missing though – the inter-college communication," he said.
تداول السوق السعودية Some companies have stepped up to solve this problem. Founded by Jason Evanish, a Northeastern graduate, Greenhorn Connect has established itself as the Boston hub for entrepreneur resources, events and organizations.
بيع ذهب في سوق الحراج The recent increase, according to boston.areastartups.com, in the number of new start-ups is a result of more than just the city's talent and money – Boston has always had those resources. Some feel the notion of the start-up has been cast in an especially appealing light by recent success stories and media attention.
الخيارات الثنائية ملكة "I think first-time entrepreneurs come into it thinking they're going to make it big; they learn very very quickly that it doesn't work that way," Najjar said.
شراء اسهم في شركة ابل The economy is also a strong factor in the increase in interest, Adomdza said.
"The rate at which people start companies increases in economic downturns, and a lot of Fortune 500 companies were started during economic downturns," Adomdza said.
Oftentimes a start-up is founded by a group of professionals coming from companies who were forced to lay them off in trying economic times.
"The reality is, some people found start-ups not out of choice, but out of necessity," Najjar said.
With this increase in start-up interest has come a rising demand for resources both in Boston and at Northeastern. A number of organizations have developed services catered to fledgling companies.
MassChallenge, a Boston non-profit, connects potential start-ups to the people and knowledge they need to be successful, according to its website. Teams from around the world are able to pitch their ideas to judges in hopes of earning one of 125 coveted spots in the MassChallenge Accelerator Stage – a three-month program in which teams are given everything they need to jump-start their success. MassChallenge is able to provide this opportunity because of donations from existing businesses.
"MassChallenge's success in Boston is really based on the participation of the community," director of partnerships Scott Bailey said. "Boston is really great at finding really motivated, driven people as well as the resources to back them up."
Northeastern has a number of resources available to students with an idea and a passion. The Entrepreneurs Club provides students with a support network and the resources they need to change an idea into a business model. Likewise, IDEA, Northeastern's Venture Accelerator provides students with coaching, mentoring and funding once their ideas begin to take form. These programs have received praise from people outside the Northeastern community.
"I'm really impressed by the resources Northeastern offers its students," Bailey said. "We see a lot of great start-ups from there." But students need only heed Najjar's advice for success: "If you have an idea, get started."

Killeen police arrested a 49-year-old man they said was selling illegal copies of DVD movies.
Police charged Garry Grant with "labeling" after a person contacted the police department Tuesday claiming Grant had two stolen video game systems he was attempting to sell on Craigslist, the affidavit stated.
Police found Grant driving in a van near the intersection of 38th Street and East Veterans Memorial Boulevard and initiated a traffic stop.
After Grant gave permission to officers to search the van, police found two video game systems and a box of compact discs organized and labeled in a manner that made it appear as though Grant intended to sell them.
When questioned, Grant told police he made copies of movies on his computer and intended to sell them. In total, police found 167 DVDs in the trunk of his van.
Justice of the Peace Garland Potvin arraigned Grant on Thursday, setting his bail at $50,000.
Potvin also arraigned Charles Stephen Harper, 19, on an unrelated charge of burglary of a building. Harper's bail was set at $50,000.
