- Observations
Despite a higher MRDT [0058], rhesus macaques appear to age significantly faster than humans do from a physiological perspective [0002]. The females of this species reach menopause at about the age of 25 [0434]. Four male monkeys under caloric restriction for part of their lives and one fed a normal diet have lived beyond 40 years [1074].
Old animals suffer from various age-related diseases common in humans, including heart disease and cancer; amyloidosis, diabetes and, in females, endometriosis have also been reported [0981]. Chinese rhesus macaques have demonstrated noticeable age-related changes in both T and B cell subsets, comparable to those found during human ageing. T cell ageing is slower in female Chinese rhesus macaques than in males, giving males a more severe immune risk profile [1183]. There have been conflicting reports on the effects of caloric restriction in rhesus macaques. One ongoing study first reported in 2009 that caloric restriction can lower the incidence of ageing-related deaths [0873], a second ongoing study reported in 2012 that caloric restriction did not improve survival even if beneficial health effects were observed [1074]. The former ongoing study reported again in 2014 that caloric restriction reduces age-related and all-cause mortality [1184]. A comprehensive assessment of longitudinal data from both sites concluded that caloric restriction does improve health and survival of rhesus monkeys [1257].

POLICE searching for missing Helmsley woman Barbara Colling are now treating the search as a body recovery exercise.
Officers thanked volunteers for their help over the weekend, which saw more than 130 people turning out on Saturday to join in the effort, and around 70 people on Sunday.
The searches took place along the B1257 and in the Fangdale Beck area.
During the weekend's search effort, a 39-year-old man from Newcastle, who is a member of the Cleveland Search and Rescue Team, was airlifted to hospital after falling into a gulley just after 1pm on Saturday.
He sustained severe bruising and was released after treatment.
Mrs Colling was last seen walking along the B1257 near Abbotts Hag at around 9.30am on Monday, January 28.
Inspector Andy Everitt said: "I would like to thank everyone who turned out in the effort to find Barbara. Their help has been absolutely tremendous.
"Sadly, we are now treating the search as a body recovery exercise, as there is very little chance of finding Barbara alive.
"We are supporting her family at this difficult time and will continue to do so until the search ends.
Inspector Everitt added: "Thankfully the man who was taken to hospital, after he suffered a fall, was not seriously injured.
"The accident shows that even trained members of search and rescue teams can suffer mishaps.
"I am asking members of the public who go out searching for Barbara on their own to take extra care and not put themselves in any danger."
Anyone who can help locate Mrs Colling is urged to contact North Yorkshire Police immediately by dialling 101.

Thursday, January 26, 2006 – CHELMSFORD, MASS. - ZOLL Medical Corporation (NASDAQ: ZOLL), a manufacturer of resuscitation devices and related software solutions, today announced that it signed a three-year contract with Novation, the health care contracting services company of VHA Inc. and University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) that serves the purchasing needs of more than 2,500 VHA Inc. and UHC members. The agreement covers the ZOLL AutoPulse® Non-invasive Cardiac Support Pump, and offers an opportunity for ZOLL's direct sales force to bring additional value to Novation's members.ZOLL has had a relationship with Novation that dates back to 1999, based on positive performance reviews by Novation and member councils. The new agreement was reached after Novation's Nursing and Clinical Practice Council reviewed the AutoPulse using its new technology evaluation process. The Council found, after careful review of the product and supporting documentation, that the AutoPulse was unique and proprietary in the market and offered incremental patient benefits."The AutoPulse has gained significant credibility in the hospital marketplace as a result of this agreement," said Richard A. Packer, President and Chief Executive Officer of ZOLL. "The agreement is another proof point that the AutoPulse will advance the practice of resuscitation among medical professionals."Approximately 235 EMS agencies and hospitals worldwide employ the AutoPulse. A number of member hospitals currently use the AutoPulse as part of their resuscitation efforts, including the University of North Carolina (UNC) Medical Center, the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals, Stanford Medical Center in California, and Nebraska Medical Center.The AutoPulse is an automated, portable device comprised of a backboard and a simple, load-distributing LifeBand® that fastens across a victim's chest. The AutoPulse compresses the entire chest, in a unique, consistent "hands-free" manner, delivering maximum blood flow to the heart and brain* without interruption or fatigue. Additionally, it offers the benefit of freeing up rescuers to focus on other life-saving interventions.
Based in Irving, Texas, Novation was established in January 1998 through a combination of the supply programs of VHA and UHC, two national health care alliances. Novation serves the purchasing needs of more than 2,500 members and affiliates of VHA and UHC. These organizations used Novation contracts to purchase more than $23 billion in supplies in 2004.
ZOLL Medical Corporation is committed to developing technologies that help advance the practice of resuscitation. With products for pacing, defibrillation, circulation, ventilation, and fluid resuscitation, ZOLL provides a comprehensive set of technologies that help clinicians, EMS professionals, and lay rescuers resuscitate sudden cardiac arrest or trauma victims. ZOLL also designs and markets software that automates the documentation and management of both clinical and non-clinical information.ZOLL markets and sells its products in more than 140 countries. The Company has direct operations, distributor networks, and business partners throughout the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

Apparel, Retail Merchandising and Design/Retail Merchandising
Students majoring in apparel, retail merchandising and design with a focus in retail merchandising at North Dakota State University can make themselves marketable for a variety of careers in retailing fields. Retail merchandising is such a part of everyday life that people often take it for granted, but it is one of the fastest changing, most dynamic industries in the world today.
Background Information
New retail opportunities are emerging around the world. National and global retailers provide goods and services to consumers everywhere, via multichannel retailing involving traditional stores, catalogs, direct mail and online venues, including social networking sites. Retailers use state-of-the-art technology to respond instantaneously to changing consumer demand from around the world. These changes in the retail industry provide many exciting opportunities for college graduates interested in the highly competitive, fast paced and profitable field of retailing.
Career Opportunities
Retailers undertake a wide variety of activities. They raise capital from financial institutions; purchase goods and services; develop accounting and management information systems to control operations; manage warehouses and distribution systems; design and develop new products; predict and act upon fashion trends; and undertake activities such as advertising, promotion, sales force management and market research. Thus, retail firms worldwide offer opportunities for people with a wide variety of skills and education.
Graduates of the retail merchandising program hold positions such as buyers, store managers, visual merchandisers, regional managers, store owners, interior merchandisers, account executives and fashion forecasters with such companies as Target, Kohl's, Scheels, Macy's, Merchology, Best Buy, TopShop, Nordstrom, Vanity, The Gap, Trunk Club, The Buckle, Evine Live, Nike, Forever 21, to name a few. Many stores limit their management positions to employees who have completed a four-year degree. Often, recruiters consider the degree a minimum requirement for a management and/or buying career. A degree in apparel, retail merchandising and design with a focus in retail merchandising provides students with a firm grasp of business strategy. Graduates have a solid educational foundation that allows them flexibility in their career paths to move into positions in the wholesale sector, finance, marketing and sales.
The Program
Positions available in the retail merchandising field are diverse; therefore, this option provides students with an educational background that can fit into both short- and long-range career goals. The course of study includes classes on buying and merchandising, global retailing, retail market management, merchandise promotion, financial management and control, global fashion economics, consumer behavior related to apparel selection decisions, and the analysis of textile and apparel products using textile testing equipment. Technical software is introduced and reinforced in several courses.
Students choose to focus on the area of textile product or interior merchandising. The textile product merchandising focus includes courses such as sewn product manufacturing and analysis, consumer behavior, history of fashion, product development, dress and human behavior. The interior merchandising focus includes courses such as history of interiors, design process and interior graphics— knowledge needed to enter retail interior careers.
A 24-credit minor in business administration provides a general business background that prepares students for in-depth work in the retail merchandising field of study. An overall 2.5 grade point average is required for this option. A very strong general education curriculum assists students in learning critical thinking skills. Computer technology is an intrinsic aspect of the program. State-of-the-Art software is introduced and used in several courses.
Our Contacts Beyond College Walls
Special features of NDSU's retail merchandising program that help prepare students for a retail merchandising career include (1) acquiring sales and/or merchandising experience and earning college credit through summer retail internships, (2) participating in study tours to national or international destinations while earning college credit, and (3) obtaining a minor in business administration while earning the Bachelor of Science degree in apparel, retail merchandising and design. Another choice some students make is to attend the world renowned Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City. Students can take advantage of international study abroad experiences made available by NDSU's study abroad programs.
Through the above mentioned experiences, students gain valuable sales and/or retail merchandising experience before graduation while a faculty member helps them gain insight into store functions. Students are encouraged to work in retail stores part-time while in school, because learning takes place on the job as well as in the classroom. The study tours expose students to the fast pace of the constantly changing merchandising world.
The major benefits of a retail merchandising degree in this very competitive field are that our graduates have a better knowledge and understanding of (1) all textile products and how these products can be expected to perform, (2) product development, (3) how fashion trends evolve, (4) the impact of consumer behavior on the fashion and interiors industry, and (5) skills in managing and/or buying soft goods and interior products.
Extra-Curricular Opportunities
The Fashion, Apparel and Business Organization (FABO) brings in speakers and organizes field trips and other activities to provide interaction with professionals. Other organizations in the college and University provide further opportunities for leadership development and contact with professionals.
A limited number of scholarships are designated for students majoring in the department; additional scholarships are available to all college majors. For further information on scholarships visit: www.ndsu.edu/adhm/apparel-retail/scholarships.html.

Well folks, the world has changed. After many discussions (or arguments) it has now happened:
TJC has now cited a hospital under an IMMEDIATE THREAT (and SITUATION DECISION) when a nurse administers agents of deep sedation. The nurse was at the head of the table, administering the anesthesia agent and monitoring the agent. The only other person in the room was the physician who was performing the procedure. Hope everyone will stop arguing about this and just do the right thing.
Well folks, the world has changed. After many discussions (or arguments) it has now happened:
CDC Rules on Multi-Dose Vials
CDC Rules on Multi-dose Vials
Only Physician can record discharge summary: CMS
Interpretive Guidelines §482.24(c)(2)(vii)
All patient medical records must contain a discharge summary. A discharge summary discusses the outcome of the hospitalization, the disposition of the patient, and provisions for follow-up care. Follow-up care provisions include any post hospital appointments, how post hospital patient care needs are to be met, and any plans for post-hospital care by providers such as home health, hospice, nursing homes, or assisted living.
The MD/DO or other qualified practitioner with admitting privileges in accordance with State law and hospital policy, who admitted the patient is responsible for the patient during the patient's stay in the hospital. This responsibility would include developing and entering the discharge summary.
Note: While others may perform this function, it is clear that they should have participated in the care of the patient AND be recognized to perform this function under the state licensing act. What if the state is silent? Then it probably cannot be done by them.
Who Qualifies For Privileges: NEW CMS PERMISSION
There is an age old dilemma about who qualifies to be privileged by the medical staff. Traditionally it had been those to provide a "medical level of care". In the most recent release of the Condition of Participation the following is noted:
§482.12(a)(1) Determine, in accordance with State law, which categories of practitioners are eligible candidates for appointment to the medical staff;

for multiple patients inside an operating room, such as on an anesthesia cart:
- Can multi-dose vials be used for more than one patient? How?
Multi-dose vials should be dedicated to a single patient whenever possible.
If multi-dose vials must be used for more than one patient, they should not be kept or accessed in the immediate patient treatment area. This is to prevent inadvertent contamination of the vial through direct or indirect contact with potentially contaminated surfaces or equipment that could then lead to infections in subsequent patients. If a multi-dose vial enters the immediate patient treatment area, it should be dedicated to that patient only and discarded after use.
- What are examples of the "immediate patient treatment area"?
Examples of the immediate patient treatment area include patient rooms or bays, and operating rooms.
Deep Sedation: Can nurses administer the agents?
I get a lot of questions concerning the ability of nurses to administer agents of deep sedation. I have put together my conclusion based on the following citations from CMS. Be aware that some states have written into the nurse practice act that RNs may not administer agents of deep sedation, or "non-reversable" agents for sedation purposes. My conclusion is, based on the actual CMS COP, that nurses may not administer these agents for the purpose of sedation. Actually, based on CMS, one would wonder if RNs could even MONITOR patients. By the way, supervision of nurses is not even addressed by CMS, so therefore the "supervision" aspect would be irrelevant. Be aware that whether something is Deep Sedation or MAC depends on the manufacturer's definition of the drug.
482.52 Condition of Participation: Anesthesia Services
Monitored anesthesia care (MAC): anesthesia care that includes the monitoring of the patient by a practitioner who is qualified to administer anesthesia as defined by the regulations at §482.52(a). Indications for MAC depend on the nature of the procedure, the patient's clinical condition, and/or the potential need to convert to a general or regional anesthetic. Deep sedation/analgesia is included in MAC.
§482.52(a) Standard: Organization and Staffing
Anesthesia must be administered only by —
(1) A qualified anesthesiologist;
(2) A doctor of medicine or osteopathy (other than an anesthesiologist);
(3) A dentist, oral surgeon, or podiatrist who is qualified to administer
anesthesia under State law;
(4) A certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA), as defined in §410.69(b) of this chapter, who, unless exempted in accordance with paragraph (c) of this
section, is under the supervision of the operating practitioner or of an anesthesiologist who is immediately available if needed; or
(5) An anesthesiologist's assistant, as defined in Sec. 410.69(b) of this chapter, who is under the supervision of an anesthesiologist who is immediately available if needed.
Based on the above, it would also appear that Nurse Practitioners or Physician Assistants may also not administer deep sedation.

Would it surprise anyone to learn that Denzel Washington carries Safe House with his usual dynamic performance? If you've seen any Denzel Washington-led movie, then you know what he can do. He's a world class actor who can elevate even some of the weakest scripts in Hollywood.
Safe House is far from perfect, but it's also pretty far from the worst film that Washington has been in. Safe House actually gives Washington one of his most fun characters in years in the form of Tobin Frost, a former CIA agent turned rogue operative who effortlessly deals death with a charming smile. Apparently in the world of Safe House, Tobin Frost is so famous in intelligence circles that even low level operatives in charge of secret CIA sanctuaries know who he is.
Enter Ryan Reynolds as Matt Weston, the lone agent in the CIA's South African safe house. When we meet Weston, he has no idea about the s***storm about to erupt with Frost's arrival. Because someone like Frost would not allow themselves to be captured unless he had a very good reason. And when that reason catches up to him, Frost and Weston have to flee for their lives.
Very early in the film, there's an action sequence in which Weston is driving a stolen vehicle to escape from the people trying to kill him while desperately fighting with Frost for control of the car. It's a very John Frankenheimer-like scene that appears as if it was shot with practical effects instead of CGI; which gives it an intense and exciting quality. This was also my favorite part of the movie.
Swedish director Daniel Espinosa makes his American debut with Safe House, and for the most part he does so with confidence and style. His action scenes are well staged and the dynamic between Frost and Weston is really engaging. Make no mistake, this isn't a buddy comedy and Frost constantly tries to undermine or elude his younger counterpart. Frost has clearly been playing this game a long time and he's very good at it. Frost also seems to enjoy pointing out to Weston how the agency will hang him out to dry.
Although Washington won the Oscar for playing Alonzo Harris in Training Day, that character always felt cartoonishly evil to me (especially in the last third of that film). Tobin Frost is actually a much more satisfying character to watch, in part because he isn't so over-the-top. And it seems that Frost may have been someone very much like Weston at the beginning of his intelligence career. He's just had the idealism drained from his soul after years spent in the trenches.
There's even a physical transformation in the film, as Frost sheds his excess hair and emerges looking younger and more clean cut like the more heroic roles that Washington played earlier in his career. But Washington's greatest moments in this movie almost always come in silence, as we see the wheels turning in his mind while figuring out what to do next or how he can best manipulate Weston into doing what he wants.
Against an actor like Washington, it's fair to say that almost anyone could be blown away onscreen. And from some of his previous films, I'd have guessed that Reynolds would have come off poorly by comparison to Washington. Instead, Reynolds holds his own and he is fairly restrained as Weston without being a jokey, sarcastic hero like several of his earlier roles. Reynolds and Washington actually have very good chemistry while playing off of each other. It also helps that Washington doesn't seem to be trying to upstage Reynolds or show him up.
The story of Safe House is fairly conventional, but it's still fun and the movie was pretty entertaining. I doubt that this is going to be the start of the next big action franchise, but I really would like to see Tobin Frost on the big screen again.

I'm looking for a PSpice transmission line part that includes resistance, inductance, conductance (between the conductors) and also mutual inductance between multiple transmission lines.
I can't use TLOSSY because its behavior is unstable under certain conditions that I need to simulate (e.g. 1 Meg Ohm resistor in series with one of the inputs simulating a break in the circuit). To my understanding, the distributed transmission line TLOSSY (and T) use an equation to relate the ports to each other (they are not actually electrically connected).
TLUMPx would be an ideal choice, except that the Kcouple2 won't couple TLUMPx's together (I think Kcouple2 works with the distributed transmission lines T and TLOSSY only).
T2coupled, T3coupled, etc... look promising, but I can see only a single field for mutual inductance Lm, and I need different values of Lm for different combinations of pairs of lines. I also need to couple 6 lines to each other, whereas T5coupled (couples 5 lines) is the highest in the TLINE library.
I've been working on this for several days and need to come up with a solution soon. Any suggestions will be gratefully received!
Is there a PSpice part that will model L, R, G and Lm? Or will I have to create a new custom part?
Thank you,
Take a look in the tline.lib, (tools\pspice\library directory of the installation), you probably want to take a copy for your own use, or copy a section of interest to a text file as the basis for your own LIB file. The "common" Lm is a characteristic of the provided coupled parts ** and does appear to be a limitation of the implementation of the t<n>coupled parts. I don't know if it would be possible to create a custom part that implements differing LM between the lines, in any case, see the limitations in the tline.lib file and reference the Transmission line section of the PSpice Reference Manual to see what the capabilities of the inbuilt fundamental models are.
In reply to oldmouldy:
Thank you for your reply.
I've had a look in tline.lib - the comments for 'tncoupled' say the parameters (including Lm) must be the same for all of the lines in the set. Also, coupling is modelled across adjacent lines only, whereas I need coupling between all lines. A modification to achieve this may be possible, but I'm not familiar with the format of library files (something I'll address as soon as I can).
Unless the lumped models (TLUMP128 etc) can be coupled (I don't think they can) TLOSSY (in analog.lib) appears to be the only part that models all the features I require. I'll re-visit TLOSSY (and Kcouple2) today, and see if I can verify that I get sensible results under the input conditions in my model.
Thanks again for your help :)
In reply to NickW:
Since you need 6 coupled Tlines, you may require your own symbol. oldmouldy has already suggested a good way to start for that.Another alternative you may want to try is to create a subckt model (covering all tlines and couplings) and create a symbol for that. I feel that may be simpler approach for your need.Here is the syntax for 2 coupled lossy transmission line.subckt TL2 1 2 3 4T1 1 0 2 0 R=.31 L=.38u G=6.3u C=70p LEN=1T2 3 0 4 0 R=.29 L=.33u G=6.0u C=65p LEN=1K12 T1 T2 Lm=.04u Cm=6p.endsYou can get the details about the format/syntax about Tline from PSpice A/D Reference Guide. You may have seen that already.
In reply to alokt:
Thank you for your help oldmouldy and alokt.
I found the paper "Selection of Lumped Element Models for Coupled Lossy Transmission lines". Lumped, coupled, lossy transmission lines is certainly what I am looking for.
I'll also read up on how to create a subckt model.
As far as I can see, a subckt model comprises any combination of existing parts. I think I'm going to have to create a new part because my problem is that I cannot model what I need using the parts in the library as they stand (I need a lumped, lossy, coupled transmission line where for 6 lines, each pair of lines is coupled with a unique mutual inductance).

Picture this: It's Tuesday night, you've had a rough day at work, you go to the kitchen and see your girlfriend reluctantly washing up some dishes in the sink. You think to yourself, "Self, I think a nice playful butt slap will be just the thing to cheer us both up, right?" WRONG!
It turns out that if you are Michael Martinez and your girlfriend is Tiffany Sherry – with a badly sunburned butt, mind you – that playful slap will get you stabbed – three times!
The stabbing went down in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on Tuesday night (8/7) and according to the police report, Martinez told the cops that he "was aware Sherry had a sunburn in that area" and that the butt slap was meant as a joke. Well, Sherry wasn't laughing and "became immediately aggitated."
Martinez says that Sherry turned around holding a large steak knife and chased him into the living room with it. Martinez said, "What are you going to do, stab me in front of your children?"
Sherry then told her two children to leave the room and then allegedly "poked" Martinez in the stomach with the knife then stabbed him in the shoulder. Sherry yelled, "I'm going to F—ing kill you," then stabbed him a third time as he fled.
Martinez called police from a neighbors home and was later found bleeding from a stomach wound and "two distinct cuts to the front and rear of his right shoulder area." He was taken to the hospital for treatment, and Sherry was arrested and is facing several charges and was being held at Northhampton County Prison after failing to post $25,000 bail.
Believe it or not, this isn't the first time Tiffany has used silverware to assault someone. In 2008 she stabbed a man with a fork during an argument. Will Somebody please keep the cutlery away from this woman?

Board OKs plan to resurface all-weather track for $300,000
OLEAN – The all-weather track at the Olean Intermediate/Middle School has not been resurfaced since it was put in place 14 years ago.
The School Board voted this week to resurface the track at a cost of more than $300,000.
The original plan called for the board to spend $237,000 on the track project, with an additional $43,000 to go on the district's tennis courts. That resurfacing was expected to give the track the same stretch of time before the next round of resurfacing was to be needed, District Superintendent Colleen Taggerty said at that time.
The board decided, however, that an additional five to six years would be a better solution.
The new plan adds nearly $100,000 to the project but is planned to extend the life of the surface to around 20 years.
"We are going from the 200 grade level to the 300 level and expect to get five to six additional years of use before it will need to be done again," Taggerty said.
Money for the project will come from the Capital Projects fund.
Some of the funds will also go to repair or replace items in the high school auditorium, Taggerty said.
The stage needs new rigging, lights, curtains and electrical work, the superintendent said.

I keep breaking thread!
I'm new to fly tying and I've made a few nice saltwater flys, but I keep breaking the thread. I don't think I'm pulling too hard, but i could be. I'm using Danville Flat Waxed Thread. It seems to break right at the end of the bobbin. Is my bobbin the issue? Should I go to a heavier thread? What am I doing wrong?
Re: I keep breaking thread!
Is your bobbin all metal? If so there could be a bur at the end. Try a little bit of emory paper to sand off the bur. (Or worse there is a bur in the tube. I don't know any way to get rid of those. Or you could buy a ceramic bobbin. Those don't get burs.
If you opt to get the ceramic bobbin and your still breaking thread, your probably pulling to hard.
Re: I keep breaking thread!
First thing I thought of was you have a bur in your bobbin. Run some small diameter yarn through the bobbin and see if it catches. I like my ceramic bobbins very much.
Re: I keep breaking thread!
My tying instructor used a Dremmel Tool, tooth pick, jewlers/lapidery (sp) polish on one of my ceramic bobbins. It helped a lot.
There's still a chance that it's your thread or thread tension. I'll go for weeks without breaking thread and then put another spool on the bobbin. The new will break three or four times on the same fly.
Re: I keep breaking thread!
i had the same problem with a bur in my steel bobbin. ceramic is way better. however, i still break it sometimes because the spool refuses to spin, so i usually just take a knife or scissors and ever so slightly shave off a bit on the spool so that it doesn't lock.
Re: I keep breaking thread!
beerbrewer- flat waxed nylon has a breaking strength of around 5lbs, which is pretty strong compared to most threads, (but not as strong as some others like kevlar or gsp). I use FWN on most of the SW stuff i tie.
Assuming you're not really cranking down on it, as others have said, it sounds like a burr on the bobbin, and it's especially likely if it's a cheap import.
When working with Flat waxed nylon when it breaks on me, if it's not a problem with a burr it's usually because:
-Brushing the hook point with the thread,
-Arms of the bobbin are too tight (you can bend them out a bit to loosen), -----Thread is wrapped around one of the arms of the bobbin.
Re: I keep breaking thread!
You folks were right, it was my bobbin....I took out jeweler's loop and took a close look at my bobbin. It has a tiny cut at the top that runs inside the tube. I'm sure that is causing the issue. I ordered a new Dr. Slick Ceramic Bobbin for $11.
Re: I keep breaking thread!
Good going Beerbrewer. Just jumped on for food for thought. The old bobbin may still be OK for fine wire. That's where my old ones go.
Re: I keep breaking thread!
Some one here suggested gluing a glass bead on the end of a metal bobbin. Use a pin or needle to center the bead on the bobbin, then affix with your adhesive of choice. I did my old metal bobbin this way with J B weld. Only differece you can't suck thread it, you have to use a threader. Now it doesn't cut thread anymore.

High winds, hail, thunderstorms hit parts of Central New York
Thu, 26 May 2011 21:26:10 GMT —
Another round of severe weather rolled through Central New York Thursday afternoon, hitting the region with rain, thunder, and damaging high winds.
Around 2:15 p.m. the National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for most of Central New York, and subsequently issued additional advisories for severe thunderstorms. These storms dumped heavy rain on much of the area, and caused scattered tree damage, power outages, and reports of hail.
CNY Central viewers in Tully, Preble, and Homer have reported hail stones nearly the size of golf balls, and viewers in Cato have reported winds strong enough to topple trees.
Other parts of the area reported only light showers, or no weather activity at all, underscoring the hit-or-miss nature of these storms.
Here is CNY Central meteorologist Mike Brookins TM forecast:
- Tonight: Showers and thunderstorms, some severe with hail, heavy rain and damaging winds, will taper to isolated lighter showers overnight. Areas of fog develop. Muggy with a low of 60.
- Friday: Mostly cloudy with a few showers and afternoon thunderstorms. High 75.
- Saturday: Breaks of sunshine with a few more showers and afternoon thunderstorms. High 80.
If you see experience any severe weather, please submit your photos and videos to our CNY Central Facebook page.

A Resolution to Protect the Civil Liberties of Carlisle Citizens
To determine whether the Town of Carlisle wishes to take action to defend the civil liberties of its residents and all others within its boundaries by agreeing to the following resolution:
1. The Citizens of Carlisle, through its town meeting, hereby reaffirm the fundamental and unalienable civil liberties secured by the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the U.S. Constitution for all people within the Town, including the rights to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, and due process of law;
2. Provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act (""the Act"") and associated federal executive orders are assaults on these long-cherished civil liberties; and
3. As a great Massachusetts-born patriot, Benjamin Franklin, so well stated, ""They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.""
THEREFORE, be it resolved that:
1. The Town of Carlisle urges its elected representatives in the U.S. House and Senate to monitor the implementation of the Act and related executive orders, and to actively work for the repeal of those portions of the Act that violate civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution, particularly the rights to freedom of speech and assembly, due process of law, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, whether such searches and seizures take place in homes, libraries, schools, or elsewhere, and the right to counsel and to confront accusers;
2. The Town Meeting requests the Board of Selectmen, acting through the Town Administrator, to instruct the employees of the Town of Carlisle and its schools to act in a manner scrupulously consistent with the civil liberties guaranteed by the Constitutions of the United States and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to the extent legally permissible.
3. The Town Administrator is requested, to the extent legally permissible, report annually to the Town Meeting any information in the Town's possession about the manner in which the PATRIOT Act is being implemented in the Town, such as by disclosing the names and whereabouts of any Town resident(s) detained pursuant to the Act;
4. The Town Clerk and Board of Selectmen is requested to arrange to post and publish this resolution prominently and to send a copy of it to all Town departments, the Middlesex County District Attorney, the Massachusetts State Police, the Massachusetts General Court, the Attorney General and Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the United States Attorney for Massachusetts, the United States Attorney General, our elected representatives in Congress, and the President of the United States, for their action thereon.

Preparing for Baseball's Most Extreme Circumstances
Disaster experts—and really, what better analogy is there for a discussion of major league managers—often use terms like "100-year event" or "1000-year event" to discuss the limits of our preparedness.
There are some situations that are so rare that in a cost-benefit analysis it is deemed not worthwhile to disrupt routines or expend resources in order to prevent them. For example, the United States has not stationed a large military force in International Falls because while there is a non-zero chance, there is a very small chance that Canada will attack us in a ground invasion from Ontario. The parlance is more commonly used for things like floods and earthquakes.
This month in baseball has seen several situations in which managers found themselves somewhat unprepared as games progressed to 16, 18, or even 20 innings. Having talked to a couple of the managers involved, it turns out that this is no surprise.
This month's Marlins-Mets 20-inning game, Jays-Rangers and A's-Yankees 18-inning games, and White Sox-Mariners 16-inning game are baseball's 100-year floods. They are situations that would take a lot of strain to prepare for, in that you'd have to pass up platoon advantages, pinch-hitting spots, and other ways of trying to win games in nine innings in order to improve your chances in the unlikely event of an umpteenth inning.
So does a manager ever go in with a plan even in the back of his mind for what happens if that night's game goes 18 innings?
"I don't think you ever think about anything more than 10, 11 innings," said Cubs manager Dale Sveum, who found himself on the winning end against the Reds, who ran out of pitchers quickly and refused to use Aroldis Chapman in a tie game on the road. (Russell Carleton wrote last week about closer usage in extra innings.)
"You're trying to win the game, you're not thinking about that stuff—you deal with it when it happens," Sveum added. "You're trying to win the game in nine innings."
Terry Collins, who wound up having to use Shaun Marcum for eight innings in a 20-inning loss to the Marlins on June 8, said that a manager doesn't really start thinking about the hyper-long relief plan until the tie game creeps really close to extras.
"It was about the seventh inning when you start to look and see who's left in the bullpen, and that's when Dan and I started talking about 'Hey look, we're going to need someone to give us three innings here," Collins said. "That's how Shaun Marcum's name got brought up. If we have to use him for x amount of innings, we can always push (his next start) back, and that's how that happened.
"I don't think anybody prepares to go 18 or 20 innings, I can tell you that."
Days, or nights, or days turned into nights like Marcum's were exceptionally rare until a couple of weeks ago. In fact, of the four longest extra-innings relief outings since 1993, three of them happened on the same day earlier this month. The other belongs, not surprisingly, to one of the prominent knuckleballers of the last two decades.
Source: Baseball-Reference.com Play Index
When a team gets itself into a situation like that, it's often because of thinking like Sveum's or Collins', which isn't wrong. It's hard and probably counterproductive even to predict extra innings when the game is tied. It's not until a game is tied after the eighth inning that the probability of going to extras crosses 50 percent. According to research from our sabermagician Colin Wyers, who suggested the aforementioned cutoff date of 1993 to give us a representation of something close to the current home run environment, only 22.9 percent of games that are tied after six full innings go extras. That increases to 33.8 percent of the games that are tied after seven and 55.5 percent of games that are tied after eight.
But then a funny thing happens.
I went into this wondering if the percentage of extra-inning games that reached a certain inning to end in that inning would go up or down as the innings got later. I could envision the case for more games ending in a given inning as the inning increased, since either pitchers were tiring or teams were down to their last option with a position player being the extreme. However, I could also envision a lower percentage of games to reach a certain inning actually ending as the innings got later if hitters were just going for home runs.
It turns out it's almost exactly the same for each of the next four innings in extras.
When a game has gone to the 10th, it has gone to the 11th 53.0 percent of the time.
Over the last 20 years, there have been 316 games that have gone to the 14th inning, and that's where the percentages to reach the next inning start fluctuating—though not strictly increasing or decreasing—as sample sizes get really small.
From 1993 through Tuesday, there were 47,742 games that weren't shortened by weather. Slightly over 8.5 percent of them have gone into extra innings, and the numbers go down fairly quickly from there.
As the chart shows, the chance of ever getting to a certain point in a baseball game dips below one percent in the 14th inning, and to Sveum's point, we can see why a manager never plans for 18 innings. One game in 1768 will get there, making it an 11-year event for a given team. A 20-inning game like the Mets and Marlins played on June 8, despite the fact that the Mets just played one three years ago, is a 49-year event for a team in the current run environment.
Those two 20-inning games were the extremes of perceived preparedness, one with reasonably well-rested starters going eight and seven innings in relief and the other with the teams falling all over themselves in the final innings and two position players pitching.
Yet no matter how nice it looks in the box score, you're never really prepared for that.

There's an absolute zero chance Canada would attack Minnesota from Manitoba at International Falls because International Falls is on the Ontario-Minnesota border.

On the other hand, a 14+ inning game is basically a one-year event for each team (1 in 151 games).

What's the difference between isolated and non-isolated dc-dc converters?
Isolation describes the electrical separation between the input and output of a dc-dc converter. An isolated dc-dc converter uses a transformer to eliminate the dc path between its input and output. In contrast, a non-isolated dc-dc converter has a dc path between its input and output. Non-isolated dc-dc converter designs usually employ ICs specifically intended for that purpose.
Why is isolation necessary for system power sources?
For safety considerations, there must be isolation between an electronic system's ac input and dc output. Isolation requirements cover all systems operating from the ac power line, which can include an isolated front-end ac-dc power supply followed by an isolated "brick" dc-dc converter, followed by a non-isolated point-of-load converter. Typical isolation voltages for ac-dc and dc-dc power supplies run from 1500 to 4000 V, depending on the application.

care to explain your faulty reasoning.......the USA is fine....but you constipated sumbyches are never satisfied with anything. get an enema for your mouth.

Only a welfare, socialist puke like you would think this country is fine.
#222 Feb 22, 2013
Dear President Obama,
The Fast and Furious operation backfired a bit in this regard, but Im glad to see it hasnt stopped you.
As you know, we are making inroads on US soil. Weve set up significant operations in the Southwest, one area where armed citizens can be a bit of trouble to us, especially if they own land we cross or are adjacent to.
We view their disarming with a positive attitude. I would say your basic gun-grabbing strategy is primarily aimed at the American West. The border states need to be cleaned out. The fewer people there who have guns (particularly those with high-capacity clips), the easier it is for us.
But since our drug trafficking lines take in most of America, wherever citizens arent armed were generally in better shape.
Im pleasantly surprised that media in your country havent pressed you to name the areas where most gun violence is taking place. After all, if your objective is to reduce that violence, you would think a campaign directed at gangs in inner cities would rank number one on your to-do list.
Those areas and those gangs do subcontracting work for us (and other Mexican cartels). Leaving them in place is a priority for us. So congratulations on being able to skirt this tricky issue. Your cojones are, indeed, huge.
Please pass along my thanks to Brian Williams, Scott Pelley, and Diane Sawyer. I assume they are in your pocket and carrying your message. Undoubtedly, they are also refraining from bringing up the gang issue. Whenever I speak with the president of Mexico, I point out your masterly and deft control of media as a model we should emulate.
Now to the real reason Im writing. In Chicago, your crime stronghold, one of our people is on trial. This is a sensitive matter, as you know.
The defendant, Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, wants to expose our arrangement. This must not happen. So far, your DEA and CIA have managed to gain trial delays.
Niebla and his lawyers are ready to offer documents that show the Sinaloa has US federal permission to ship tons of drugs into Chicago, and from there to other distribution points in the US.
Niebla will reveal this deal was made so that Sinaloa would provide valuable information on our rival cartels to the DEA and the FBI.
Therefore, Niebla will point out that he has special immunity from prosecution. That was part of the deal for high-ranking Sinaloa members.
Fortunately, his trial hasnt been played up in the American press. Again, well done. Coverage has been stifled. Its stayed on the back burner, and the CIA and DEA are claiming no such immunity deal exists for Niebla.
But at the same time, the CIA has been making motions in court to have documents excluded from the trial on the basis of National Security.
This is a gross tip-off to our deal, and it doesnt sit well with me. Its awkward. Im sure you agree, Mr. President.
The last thing we need here is exposure, especially while youre pushing forward your gun-grabbing program.
Sinaloa has members and agents and sub-contractors operating all over the US, and naturally these people are armed. They not only sell drugs, they shoot people. We cant control everything they do.
They get into intramural squabbles and use their weapons to settle disagreements. Bodies pile up. Sometimes, innocent people are killed.
Our subcontractors commit unrelated crimes that have nothing to do with drugs. They rob, they steal, they shoot, they kill.
If it comes out that Sinaloa and all its component parts, operating within US borders, are contributing mightily to high gun-violence statistics
And if it comes out that Sinaloa has a special arrangement to do business in the US without fear of disruption
Your gun-grabbing program and our operations will both be in dire jeopardy.
And the blow-up in the press will be catastrophic for both of us.
#223 Feb 22, 2013
You and I understand this is just business, but other people dont see it that way.
Therefore, Mr. President, Im stating, in the strongest terms possible, that the Niebla trial in Chicago has to be shut down, one way or another.
Either a quiet plea deal has to be struck, or we will be forced to do something drastic. Soon.
If Im reading you right, and I believe I am, your gun-grabbing program is just one step in an Operation Chaos aimed at destabilizing your country.
In the past, we have contributed to that agenda, and we continue to do so. We dont pretend to understand this whole game at its higher levels, but to us that doesnt matter. Were in business to make money and sell product.
We support you.
And we expect you to support us

You are never willing to admit blacks, your "people" commit more murders than all the other races combined in this country no-show.
You also refuse to admit that blacks commit 80% of ALL violent crime and compose 80% of all prisoners in America.
You think you know more than the FBI since you have claimed to be "a top senior law enforcement official for the state" and "a top senior adviser to the Governor" in the past. Both lies!
Sadly, you are too dumb to learn, too stupid to pity, too big a coward to do anything about it nothead.
Fortunately, everyone knows you are a liar and a fool.
#229 Feb 23, 2013
So, even you admits that there is no real "Gun Show Loophole". The fact is that in this country the legal buying and selling of goods goes on every day. You ask why do these private sellers show up at gun shows, the same reason that major car dealers set up at colleges and universities across the country at graduation time. The same reason you see drug users driving through the black ghettos looking for drugs. It is fairly simple, if you have something to sell or looking to purchase something why would you NOT show up at places where you would have more potential buyers?
#230 Feb 23, 2013
You are very funny, you will not post because you can not post. If you think that the average cop gets a fat check then you have just admitted to living in the ghetto. The main reason that shallow people such as you think that cops spend more time giving traffic tickets than anything is that you do not understand the structure of police departments. You see mostly traffic officers because they are the ones who are out there to be seen and stop these offenses before they happen. You do not get to see or if you do do not realize that you have seen the massive detective division, vice squad, multi department groups, admin service people and others who are fighting crime everyday in a more stealth type way.
The average cop has about a 40K base pay and if you think that is fat than you need to adjust your goals in life.

Again, the cops here are being totally reactionary to crime, we have a Cville PD, a county PD, a UVA PD, and what? nothing.

#233 Feb 23, 2013
5 times, did you get that? 5 times the SCOTUS has determined the police have no responsibility to protect you. Their job IS REACTIVE ! I am not saying that is right, just the way it is.
If you want protection, buy a guard dog because I don't think you should own a gun. NObama is working on that as we speak.
#234 Feb 23, 2013
If you do not like where you are living so much, you should stfu and move. By the way do you have the crime rates as far as crimes comitted and crimes solved to post?
#235 Feb 23, 2013
Its common knowledge inside and out of the City PD that reports don't get filed, the reason is obvious, but how do I know that? my ex worked for Cville and became disgusted at the ruse the PD was trying to put over on the community, she quit and went to Albemarle. The city is all about image, no report, no crime, no crime, great city.
#236 Feb 23, 2013
The only police i have ever heard you defend are the Va State Police. The largest department of traffic ticket writers around. SMH

our hands are in paint
to the soundtrack of 45
yeah yeah yeah
per minute
our hands are in ink
on a map of persia
like it's norouz again
goldfish and apple
and we are redefining
the empire
in the morning
we'll survey and walk
barefoot on its shards
it will make cute
w a l l p a p e r
our hands are in milk
at the temples
of mystics
we are covering our bases
a circadian moth
dines on light
it will starve
i waste my sorry
on small things
inanimate things even
give unto people
what is people's
he has practical bones
a list for everything
in silhouette
we spit out plans
in midair
they form a compound word
he asks
how will you do all that
without money?
i ask
how will you do all that
without youth?
hopeless little reminders
find little ways onto my palms
in the middle of sleep
they are oneiric notes or carnal origami
parents dreaming in the same bed like muted sex
they are whispers
from outside my skin neither
masculine nor feminine
every waking i am treading random music
every waking i peel fingers out of fists
at the core just smeared ink residue
swallowed by palm creases
having poisoned my blood with dreams unremembered
i squeeze a tube of toothpaste
into some semblance of life

First and foremost, before you read on, Change your password if you havent already. All members should do it immediately. Particularly members with a Sponsoring Subscription. We recently were the subject of a hack attack and one of our defenses depends on members to have a strong password.
Here is good advice on passwords.
1. Change your passwords regularly
Changing passwords regularly is highly recommended; preferably at least once a month. This is NOT about Mark II Forum, but in General. No matter which website or forum you join, or what type of environment you are joining. It is often the case that users do not care about changing their passwords every so often. But we guarantee that this will help to keep you safe online.
2. Do not use the same password on every site or forum online
Avoid using the same password for every single website/forum, software or any other types of subscriptions or registrations. If you have a problem remembering all of them, write them down and keep the document in a safe place, not in everyday public view. Security experts do not recommend writing down passwords but its a better option than having one password for everything. Do not save the document on your computer with an easy filename such as password list or stick a yellow note under your laptop with your login password (and yes, people do that).
3. When you re-use a password, then always use a different password for your email account
Now days many users online are tempted to use the same password for all their logins. As a minimum, users should have a password for their email account separate from all their other Application Passwords etc.
Your email address contains much of the information an intruder would need to hack your other accounts, as many web sites and services use a persons email address as their login username. Passwords for your banking services including sites such as PayPal and sites where your credit card number is on file, should also be unique. If you use the same password for many sites and one is compromised, you are most vulnerable on sites where an intruder could actually steal money or order merchandise and charge it to you.
4. Use passwords with a secure length / Or use an Online Password Generator
A good password is at minimum seven characters long and has letters, numbers and non-alphanumeric characters, and the simpler the password is, the easier it is to crack.
There are Plenty of Password Generators. Use one from a known Website. I recommend "Norton's Website" at Norton.com Link below!
Link: https://identitysafe.norton.com/password-generator/#
This is a free, excellent password generator and you can also open a Norton Identity Safe to store all your passwords if you have hard time remembering your Passwords

Ideal stopover
This is a large Victorian House converted in to hotel usage.
Some of the rooms and stairways are a little old fashioned but all the facilities are of good standard, although some redecoration will be needed in the fairly near future. The room much larger than in most more modern hotels with a good ensuite includinng an over-bath shower. Everywhere was very clean, neat and tidy. The two best features were the friendly and helpful staff and the excellent Full Yorkshire breakfast. Good value for money and a good overall choice for our one night stopover.

poor quality accommodation, very cramped, had to be a bit of a contorionist just to sit on the loo.
No lift, not easy to reach room through the multitude of doors and up to top floor. Free Wi-fi, if it worked, poor signal quality on top floor, slower than a week in the jail. Would not advise for the business traveller, best avoid.

nice little hotel
We enjoyed our overnight stay.
Our first room had a couple of problems, when we spoke to the receptionist we were quickly offered another room. We would have loved to have eaten in the restaurant but as we were on a budget couldn't afford it. It would be nice to see the early bird menu available on Saturdays too. Breakfast was brilliant. So much choice and so tasty.

While his name ranks toward (and often at) the top of any list of the world's greatest artists, Vincent Van Gogh did not know fame, fortune, or much happiness during his tragically short life. He died by his own hand, believing that he and his work would slip into obscurity, his time on Earth an inconsequential blip in the grand scheme of things.
What if someone could travel back in time and prove to Van Gogh that his paintings would touch the hearts of millions? What if they could reassure him that (at least some of) his madness was not all in his head, but an alien-touched reality that only he could perceive? Would the troubled artist have found some happiness from this knowledge? Might his life have carried on longer? 2010's Vincent and the Doctor is an episode of Doctor Who that ponders these very questions.
The stunning image on this 50″ x 60″ Doctor Who Van Gogh Plush Throw Blanket shows us how Van Gogh might have painted The Doctor's iconic time machine, the TARDIS, if the two had met. Why does the famous blue box look like it's exploding? River Song would be happy that I'm not going to reveal any spoilers about its context to the uninitiated here. Suffice it to say that fans of Doctor Who and Vincent Van Gogh can rejoice in this cultural mashup on its own!

Public Health Emergency Preparedness

In spite of research, it is difficult to build infrastructure to respond to something that has never happened. Despite the magnitude of the World Trade Center attacks and the anthrax releases that followed, bioterrorism response professionals warn us that the release of an infectious or toxic agent could produce a disaster of unanticipated impact.
One limitation of our project was limited funding to contact all of the medical call centers within the model's nine-State region for input. Instead, we focused on making sure we had input from public health departments within the region as the ultimate "users" of the model.
The great challenge to the HEALTH model is that of maintaining readiness for an event of unknown size and scope in the lack of any events. DHMIC, with help from CDPHE, is attempting to build this readiness through a repertoire of experience with smaller, planned public health events such as the Smallpox Vaccination Program Support Service and providing West Nile virus information. Funding for the technology improvements required for the model is also a challenge.
A risk for the program is that emergency response partners throughout DHMIC's service area could fail to capitalize on the model. Another risk is that other agencies will develop these capacities separately, perhaps producing redundancy, inefficiency, and confusion. DHMIC is actively trying to counteract the potential for this by including State and local agency members from all States in the region to assist in oversight of the model's development. DHMIC personnel continue to be active members of the emergency preparedness and public health community in Colorado, and other service-area States, to make sure that channels of communication are kept open to prevent this from happening.
Further development of the model would greatly benefit by implementation of all or part of the HEALTH model by other call centers and public health agencies. This would allow testing of its components and concepts in other situations, and could grow the experiential knowledge of the emergency response community. There is a risk that for reasons of resource limitations or for lack of foresight that this would not happen. Therefore, members of the Core Team are committed to publicizing the results of this research, and to future implementation of Rocky Mountain Regional HEALTH through further grant funding and partnerships.
