Burgess, Thornton W: Mother West Wind How Stories. V1. 3 Aug 2009
Thornton Waldo Burgess (January 14, 1874 June 5, 1965). Born in Sandwich, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, he was a conservationist and author of children's stories. Thornton Waldo Burgess loved the beauty of nature and its living creatures so much that he wrote about them for 50 years. By the time he retired, he had written more than 170 books and 15,000 stories for daily columns in newspapers.
Peter Rabbit sat on the edge of the dear Old Briar-patch, staring up into the sky with his head tipped back until it made his neck ache. Way, way up in the sky was a black speck sailing across the snowy white face of a cloud. It didnt seem possible that it could be alive way up there. But it was. Peter knew that it was, and he knew who it was. It was King Eagle. By and by it disappeared over towards the Great Mountain. Peter rubbed the back of his neck, which ached because he had tipped his head back so long. Then he gave a little sigh.

2010: Online ROI – a challenge for companies
13.01.2010 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie: English Content, Web Strategy
The solution to the following question is complex: How should companies measure online ROI in future? In times of display, affiliate and search advertising the measure of success has been kept very simple. Page impressions, clicks, leads, sales – that was it. With the evolution of social media the topic of online measurement has become more complex.
In the Pre-Web 2.0 era, there was a formula that has put everything else into the shadows. It was based on the clic. Obviously still many CMOs see this as the crucial measurement factor of their online activities. The click was considered the basis of the digital marketing manifesto.
The formula of the previous online ROI went something like this…
Page impressions and clicks to convert click-through rate that generates leads and ultimately (hopefully) sales.
And this formula also corresponded to the value in the online marketing of cost-per-mile (CMP), cost-per-click (CPC), cost-per-lead (CPL), cost-per-sale (CPO). Simple, clear, pragmatic.
Marketers were satisfied, the sales man less (mostly) due to inferior leads and associated fluctuating revenues. There was a lack of transparency. The management is considered to be overstretched. 2010 everything will be different.
In 2009, the main German association for publishers and buyers, the IVW, killed the power of the page impression, the visit is the 'Golden Surfer' from now on. An English study by the Online Publishers Association (OPA) is following and strengthens the effectiveness of the 'silent click' and the value of the content and context.
Moreover Eyeblaster invents, and especially Dean Donaldson promotes this, the Dwell Time. Efficiency measurement of web activity becomes a challenge for companies. And if we take it to the top companies do need an eye-movement study to measure the time-based attention, the way we know it from the print era (similar to copy-test).
Another challenge is that there are numerous social media activities added, and here we are looking for a reliable measurement method to justify the expenses. In Germany the Association of Social Media and Social Media is quickly introducing a new currency: share of voice or share of buzz. A conceptually coherent model , but in practice is questionable in its feasibility, management and marketing relevance. A similar measure as the CTR won't be found in the social media industry, probably still for a long time. Probably not even 2010…
Let's illustrate the complexity of measuring social media ROI at a viral campaign, the buzz generated by social media coverage and results. Previously, the click was relevant. It was a unique short-term assessment without measurement of long-term effect. With the ended of the campaign the measurement time was over. Whether the click came from the desired target group of bookers ranked in it's relevance secondary.
In a viral campaign, however, due to the target-transparency, the question of efficiency measurement is completely different. All these values are quite different in context and only win in their semantic and concluding statement its relevance for the advertiser.
Questions arise such as …
How much time commitment gives the user his social activities and the commitment to the company?
How do I rate detailed comments on blogs, micro-blogs or social networks?
How to evaluate an Re-Tweet in this context?
From whom are the comments and actions coming?
How does buzz spread via this person and to whom?
How relevant is the target audience about the distribution for the advertisers?
How to integrate ratings in the measurement methog on video- or evaluation platforms?
What about the statements that I can not even see, because a front door at Social Networks is obstructing my access to the results?
Without individual-subjective definion of measuring units, each company, every Social Media ROI measurement is worthless, and social media marketing measurement fortiori. The metric must be defined in the relevant context of the desired outcome best possible – in other words the individual needs of the corporate strategy or intention of each social media activity has to be adjusted from case to case. Increase in visits to the website? Generation of Fans or Followers? Couponing on a community? Knowledge on brand confessions obtained? Or actually generate online sales?
Each profile of an active social median, its social graph, in its sustainability and its recommended value of inside and outside "of his" social community has different weight. Determine where the true relevant measurement is the responsibility of the advertiser. At the Webcific I have called the new monetary views as "cost-per-commitment" to provide the relativity of the word in question and to make clear the relevance of the word, but for the future.
Commitment begins with the communication to customers and does not stop when clients order at the company's shop. However, maintaining the commitment of campaign spending via email or traditional online activities still is essential. As customers loyalty runs outside the social media spheres, too. Defining commitment as a measure of social media may be based different on the company blog than on Facebook or Twitter.
A crucial factor in the social web is always forgotten: Traditional marketing campaigns have a beginning and an end. That's when Social Web communication starts…
The CPI formula in times of social web might be …
Reach and engagement convert to social activities that lead to multipliers, and (probably generate) revenues from sales.
The future of online ROI measurement should be driven on the basis of how much communication output must a company deliver through a variety of social media, until the customers brand promise is gaining credibility and creates customer communications. This leads to commitment, which I have just referred to as "social activities" that need to be defined. They are the drivers of the talks for the multiplication of messages from the public relations, marketing and sales department.
Spot On!
Measuring the Social Web ROI is a long term process. Metrics from shares, posts, comments, ratings or Tweets replace the old click-metric. For the new metrics remain the web's property, thanks to social search integration. Communication is dynamic and it may be that the pure bookmark result of yesterday, generates many social activities and conversations tomorrow.
Who dominates social communication that generates brand-vangelist peers (as I always like to call it). From anonymous platforms users become now fans, followers, blog readers and community members. They all have names that are transparent, a huge advantage of today's web-talks. In the decisive moment, when they start participating in the discussing companies can find important multipliers of the message of a brand or a company, and therefore define important parameters. But companies should remember that communication can take place anywhere and adjust according to their web strategy. This modern weaving culture should incorporate engagement metrics or policies between sales and marketing. Otherwise, the effort of monitoring, measuring, analyzing is worth nothing, and will not meet the result of the challenge of 2010.

"Young Justice" Season 1 Vol. 3 – Just Whelmed by the Show, Really Underwhelmed by the DVD
Why don't I love Young Justice?
There's no rational reason why I shouldn't. Young Justice does lots of things right. It's a show based firmly in the DC Comics universe that mixes a surprising number of iconic characters alongside new creations, ensuring that it is entirely accessible to newcomers while also satisfying old time fanboys like me (and keeping us on our toes with change-ups and twists on old favorites). The major cast is mostly likable, introducing three entirely winning new superheroes and bringing out solid-to-excellent takes on three familiar faces. It's well-structured, well-written, well-acted, and superbly animated. The action sequences are beautifully choreographed and find exceptionally creative ways to use super powers and abilities. I'm also impressed at the show's catholic approach to the DC universe, pulling in anyone and everyone and even turning C-list characters like the Sportsmaster into cool, credible threats. I can nitpick elements of it (big surprise, I'm sure), but the show doesn't do anything egregiously wrong. I really do like the show quite a bit, but I am still mystified why I'm not joining in the full-throated chorus declaring it the greatest thing since sliced bread or Justice League.
The recently released Season 1, Vol. 3 DVD presents four more episodes of the show, which centers on a superteam of the Justice League's junior partners. Led by Aqualad, the team is rounded out by Robin, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian, and Artemis, with the League's Red Tornado acting as their chaperone, Black Canary leading their training, and Batman handing out their assignments. Prior episodes had established this sextet as the League's covert operations team, although their successes at disrupting nascent supervillain plans were tempered by the revelation of deeper, more sinister plans at work by a mysterious cabal called the Light. Even worse, the Light and their operatives repeatedly refer to a mole within the team, setting up a ticking time bomb under their very noses.
"Bereft" is probably the second strongest episode on this disc and one of the best episodes the show has done so far, as the team wakes up scattered across the desert of the rogue nation Bialya with no memories of the past six months (which also puts Superboy into a mindless, destructive state since he's technically less than six months old). It's an exceptionally well-structured episode that works to rebuild the first half of the story through flashbacks and pieced-together remembrances of the team while they dodge the Bialyan Army and Psimon, the mysterious telepath there for his own purposes. They also pick up a seventh member in a mysterious sentient sphere, who seems to adopt Superboy as its owner. "Targets" focuses on Red Arrow, who rejected offers to join Young Justice way back in episodes on the volume 1 DVD. Again going it alone, Red Arrow seeks to prevent assassins from the League of Shadows from disrupting peace talks, pitting him against the deadly teen ninja Cheshire and the Sportsmaster. His life is complicated by the arrival of Lex Luthor, ostensibly there to aid in brokering a peace deal, but never one to trust and possibly the real target of the assassins. Elsewhere, Superboy and Miss Martian begin the even more terrifying ordeal known as high school (which also includes several surprising and amusing cameo appearances). The tense, cleverly plotted "Terrors" puts the pair undercover as the Terror Twins in order to infiltrate the Belle Reve metahuman prison, where a chain of coincidences convinces the League that something big is afoot. When things go wrong, the pair have to out-think a horde of psychotic supervillains without blowing their cover. The disc closes with "Home Front," the strongest single episode on the disc, which pits Artemis and Robin against two impossibly more powerful opponents who have invaded Young Justice's cave headquarters and captured the rest of the team. Revelations are finally made about the mole on the team, ending the disc on a monstrous cliffhanger.
However, the strength of "Home Front" is a disappointment in that it took the show 12 episodes to finally hook me and reel me in, and even then I think it's largely for the superhero soap opera "and then what happened?" drive that's reminiscent of the comics which occupied much of my misspent younger days. I'm still not entirely sure what Young Justice is missing that I find in other similar shows like Justice League, Avatar the Last Airbender, or The Spectacular Spider-Man. I have to wonder if it's just that the show is actually TOO thought-out and tightly plotted, to the point where I feel like it has been drained of that spark of spontaneity that makes those other shows such a joy to watch. Everything is so architected and so constructed that it all often ends up feeling a bit too artificial, no matter how emotionally gripping it can be. That amount of obvious forethought can also work against it; I was quickly convinced that Artemis wasn't the mole because the show went out of its way so many times to leave obvious hints that she was. Young Justice is a pleasure to watch, but it sometimes feels like seeing a beautiful woman whose perfect hourglass figure is created by a corset so constraining that she's not allowed to breathe. I also have a powerful personal antipathy to conspiracy theory stories, making me predisposed to find the machinations of the Light more irritating than intriguing. On a related note, I'm also getting rather annoyed at how almost every single episode of the show concludes with the Light revealing that Young Justice's victory was, in fact, part of the plan all along. It reminds me of the overly-complex machinations of Darth Sidious in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where the byzantine secret plot seems rather unnecessary, if not dangerous or counter-productive, to their ostensible goals (not that we even really know what the Light's goals are as of yet).
There are other, smaller quibbles I have with the show. Sometimes, their all-inclusive approach to the DC universe works against them. When one character appears in "Terrors," you're left waiting until that character is revealed as a Bad Guy if you're familiar with Batman comics or even a select episode of Batman the Animated Series. Even the big ending reveal of "Home Front" wasn't as big a surprise as it should have been, considering the history of the character in question. I'm sure both moments are surprises for the newcomers to this world, but a show like Justice League was better at throwing old time comic fans in-jokes and references without allowing them to give away the farm. I still have major issues with the show's fundamental premise that Young Justice is the Justice League's covert operations and reconnaissance team. For all the show's powerful sense of realism, I'm stunned that nobody realizes in the show or on the staff that recon is not a job you hand to rookies in training, when the real life military units that do similar work are composed of experienced soldiers who have to earn their places on those teams through copious blood, sweat, and tears. Young people with little experience and poor impulse control are absolutely not the ones to handle missions where even a small snafu will leave them outnumbered, outgunned, surrounded, and often outside the reach of backup. It's such a non-sensical choice that I wonder if there's another revelation coming down the pike to explain it. Finally, as much as I like Miss Martian, I could live without hearing her exclaim "Hel-lo, Megan!" ever, ever again, but at least the unrequited crush she has on Superboy gets resolved on this disc. Add all these things together and you get a show that I find I like very much but still just can't love quite yet.
One thing that I definitely do not like is Warner Home Video's continuing "soccer mom" packaging of the series on DVD. There's little to complain about on a technical level: while not in high-definition, the episodes are in a beautiful anamorphic widescreen with a solid Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack, with ample chapter stops within episodes. However, with only four episodes on the disc and the only bonus being an excerpt from the tie-in comic book, this DVD itself is just plain lame. Warner Home Video has a track record of being all over the map as far as getting animated TV on DVD, with some shows (like the new ThunderCats) jumping straight to season sets, while others (like Batman: The Brave and the Bold or Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated) start off in "soccer mom" single-disc releases before shifting to more substantial season sets. Given past history, it is entirely reasonable to assume that a more substantial season set for Young Justice is on the way (a Blu-ray release is anybody's guess), so even hardcore fans of this series are probably skipping these single-disc releases.
Despite the criticisms I outlined above and before the show's legions of fans whip out their digital knives and flamethrowers, I really do like Young Justice — certainly enough to be annoyed at its continuing awful DVD releases. The fact that I keep watching it even when some of its tics and tropes drive me nuts ought to be testament to that. I just still don't love it despite the powerful sense that I should, although the episodes on this third disc bring it closer than ever before.

Last night's Heat/Pacers playoff game was somehow, at the very same time, both tremendous and sickening. It was a thrilling, back and forth game, with big-time players making big-time plays in a tight, physical, heated contest.
But then there was also an irritating element that seemed to pervade the entire game, specifically the flopping. It would take some real nonsense to make this flop attempt from Lance Stephenson the second most ridiculous part of the night, but here you go. This play embodies just how utterly absurd the whole thing has become.
Behold, two masters at work:

Will the NBA step up and do anything to eliminate the flopping in the playoffs this season?

Small-Cap Shale for Aggressive Investors
I am by nature a conservative investor. Most of my portfolio is in value stocks with some growth potential, income producing vehicles like MLPs and a good dose of cash after taking some profits after the huge rally of the last six months.
My biggest position in 2011 was Microsoft (MSFT), acquired when it was under $25 early in the year. I do have 10% to 15% of my portfolio allocated to aggressive, small-cap picks and it is by far the most enjoyable part of my investments to manage. The 30% gain I had last year in MSFT provided the biggest part of my portfolio's performance, but I much rather talk of some of my small-cap picks that doubled, even if they provided much less of a boost to overall performance than Microsoft.

A 40-years-old male patient with a corneal scar secondary to perforating eye injury had undergone ipsilateral rotational autokeratoplasty in our clinics. The corneal scar involved the pupillary area. The patient had a preoperative visual acuity of counting fingers. The patient's cornea was trephined with a 0.5 mm temporal decentration. The 8.0 mm autograft was rotated approximately 180° to relocate the scar to the temporal aspect of the cornea. The final position of the corneal scar was temporal of the visual axis and central area was clear. The visual acuity at 1-, 3-, and 6-months followups was better than the first visual acuity in the patient. Ipsilateral rotational autokeratoplasty has many advantages over conventional keratoplasty. There is no risk of immunological rejection of the graft, postoperative corticosteroids are not needed as frequently, and donor cornea is not required. A rotational autograft can be a powerful alternative to conventional keratoplasty for some patients with traumatic corneal scars.

Keeneland: Tiz Miz Sue takes on quality field of 12 in Spinster
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The Juddmonte Spinster will sport extraordinary depth Sunday, but will that scare off Tiz Miz Sue? Hardly. The 5-year-old mare has taken on all comers in the last couple of seasons, from Havre de Grace to Plum Pretty to Royal Delta, all the while representing herself and her connections proudly.
[KEENELAND: Get PPs, watch Sunday's full card live]
Whether or not that class and consistency will translate into a victory in the Grade 1, $500,000 Spinster will not be known until late Sunday afternoon, when the Spinster is run at 1 1/8 miles over the Polytrack surface at Keeneland on the last of the three-day FallStars Weekend. What is nearly assured, however, is that Tiz Miz Sue will be part of the mix in what shapes up as terrific renewal of this prestigious fixture, a Win and You're In event for the Nov. 2 Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic at Santa Anita.
[BREEDERS' CUP 2012: DRF top 10 lists, video replays, latest news]
"We haven't dodged anybody yet, so I don't know why we'd start doing it now," said Steve Hobby, who trains for the Cresran LLC.
Tiz Miz Sue, with newcomer Joe Rocco Jr. to ride, will start from post 6 in the Spinster, which drew 12 other fillies and mares, including the defending champion, Aruna. As usual, the synthetic surface is one of the main variables involved in handicapping this race although Hobby said he has no worries about how his stable star should handle it.
Hobby said that one of the reasons he chose the Spinster for Tiz Miz Sue rather than the Beldame at Belmont Park last weekend "was because I know how well she gets over this."
Aruna (post 3, Ramon Dominguez) has raced 16 times on grass in 17 career starts, and that one exception was a doozy. She made a sensational move to take command of the 2011 Spinster after turning for home, and trainer Graham Motion is hoping for something very similar Sunday.
"You can throw out her last race," said Motion, referring to a last-place finish with an awful trip in the Beverly D. seven weeks ago. "She has trained very well back at Fair Hill, so we're hopeful she'll rebound the way we know she can."
Motion also entered Summer Soiree in the Spinster although he was holding out on his options Friday because the filly was cross-entered Saturday in the Grade 1 First Lady on the grass.
Other Spinster possibilities include the Todd Pletcher-trained In Lingerie (post 5, John Velazquez), bidding to become the first 3-year-old to win the race since Panty Raid won the 2007 running for Pletcher; Upperline (post 7, Jimmy Graham), an intriguing turn-back prospect for Mike Stidham; Mystical Star (post 11, Jose Lezcano), who defeated Aruna in June in the Grade 2 New York Handicap; and Karlovy Vary (post 12, Corey Lanerie), upset winner of the Grade 1 Ashland here in the spring.
The balance of the outstanding field includes Disposablepleasure, Juanita, Nefertini, Smart Sting, Starformer, and Kitty in a Tizzy.
The Spinster was first run in 1956, when champion Doubledogdare was the winner for Claiborne Farm and trainer Moody Jolley. Numerous standouts have won the race, including Princess Rooney (1984), Bayakoa (1989-90), Inside Information (1995), and Azeri (2004).
The Spinster goes as the eighth of nine races on a Sunday card that also includes the Grade 3 Bourbon Stakes (race 7). First post is 1:05 p.m. Eastern, with the Spinster set for 4:49.
After Sunday, the first five-day week of the 17-day fall meet resumes Wednesday.

ZURICH--Credit Suisse AG CS, +0.19% has no intention of splitting its wealth-management businesses from the investment bank, Chief Executive Brady Dougan told the Wall Street Journal.
The Zurich-based bank Tuesday said it will fold its asset-management activities into the private bank, and establish a new structure for the investment bank to focus more on business activities than regional responsibilities.
As a result, Credit Suisse will be left with two main units, one focusing on managing assets for clients, the other investment banking.
The rationale behind the changes is to reach more alignment between business and legal structure and to reduce the complexity of the bank, Mr. Dougan said. It shouldn't be seen as a prelude to an eventual split of the bank.
"We have no intention of doing that [splitting the investment bank from the rest of the business]," Mr. Dougan said. "We are very committed to the integrated bank model, which we think is best for our clients and will help us gain market share."

Reconstructed – The Best of DJ Shadow. 2 CD set
DJ Shadow ascended the ranks of master turntablists' some time ago. He's a DJ with many gifts, attributes that overnight/YouTube success spawned DJ's can't learn sitting at their laptop. For example, how to spot a jam that will resonate with a crowd no matter what style or release date, sequencing/programming of the music in a way that tells a story, and take chances: drop flavors of music together and see what happens. You only find out what works when you try it in front of people. Seasoned turntablists like DJ Shadow and DJ Krush know this. It's part of their genetic make-up. Everybody wants to be a DJ today, but the desire shouldn't be merely for fame and glory. Empty pursuits like that tend to end with shit for art. Those fools never make it. A masterful DJ loves music. It's an addiction for him or her, it's about musical exploration into a deeper connection with the sound and lyrics (amongst other things). Shadow's sets are fascinating mixtures of underground urban beats, world music, anything you might consider "classic" representing any time period from the forties to the seventies, including modern as well. He's a difficult DJ to pigeon-hole. His mixes can be veritable joyrides through a chronology of music; going from old school rhythm and blues to modern hip hop; or a simple get-off-your-ass mixtape style, with constant switchbacks and curves throughout his DJ sets. Reconstructed does a fantastic job of showcasing Shadow's ear for a killer beat, smooth transitions, artful turntablism, and his willingness to let the music tell the story.
A glimpse of Shadow's brilliance is that he knows, fundamentally, how to make it all about the music. At least it appears so. He doesn't seem as hedonistic as other commercially successful DJs. His taste is so varied you can't deny his passion for music, not one particular genre where he's trying to carve out a niche for himself. Shadow always shows the music proper respect, letting rhythm and melody tell his stories instead of filling a masturbatorial need to show off his DJ skills at every musical opportunity. Up-and-coming bedroom DJ's take notice: Sometimes you just gotta let the record play. I know what that feels like, so no judgment here, but people like Gilles Peterson and DJ Shadow embody that concept. Don't get me wrong, brilliant DJ trickery peppers Reconstructed. How could you leave Shadow's masterful platter control and amazing ears for optimal cross-fades out of a Best Of record? These are some of his greatest talents. The point is that there are so many mixes out there which focus everything on the DJ's manipulation of the sound the music becoming a mere back-drop. Shadow lets the music be the star. His turntablist skill-set acts as a guide, not the driving force behind his mixed albums.
Reconstructed (a 2 CD set) is a compilation that spans Shadow's DJ career from his pre-Mo Wax days, where his timeless Preemptive Strike was released, to other statement albums like Private Press, and his latest: The Less You Know The Better LP. In addition; the set features two previously unreleased tracks: "Listen", featuring vocals from the legendary Terry Reid and "Won't You Be".
Odds are, a fair amount of the people reading this have a friend obsessed with collecting music. Guilty as charged here. However, there's always that friend who puts your whole crew to shame. I don't know anybody who owns more vinyl than Craig Kallman, Co-Chairman of Atlantic Records. That man is a true music addict. For example, his collection dwarfs mine, and all my friends' put together. Without knowing anybody plugged into DJ Shadow's crew directly, I have a feeling his collection is massive! It would be great to know how many albums he actually owns; one of those useless trivia facts you can drop over late night cocktails at the after-party. Believe me, once you delve into the many sonic shades of Shadow, all of these seemingly uncorrelated thoughts will crystallize! At least I hope so. The word is he's a professional bin-picker and crate-digger.
Shadow's impassioned respect and admiration for music leads him on cherry-picking missions to record shops all over the world. It's rumored that he spends hours digging through vinyl ruins until he finds at least one jewel in the stack. You can't deny his unwavering dedication. The result? Amassing an impressive body of work, exploring the juxtaposition of varying musical genres and styles, and Reconstructed is a splendid looking glass into the wonderful world of DJ Shadow. I especially enjoyed his new track featuring Terry Reid, "Listen". The lyrics are as timeless as it gets: "Is there ever a good time just to listen?" In today's daily media onslaught, it's difficult to stay on-task. But the seventies- styled horn groove is a bit of a head-bobber, and it reminds us that while we sit here on the edge of the twenty-first century, people felt the same way about our struggles thirty years ago. We're all just seeds in that time. How better to enjoy it than listening to a masterful DJ taking you on a journey through the magic of it all? Doesn't sound too bad right? If anything here made any sense to you, I highly advise you to head on over to the nearest record store (yes, they do still exist) and ask for a copy of any LP by DJ Shadow. Or, just ask for Reconstructed – The Best of DJ Shadow. That will getting you itching for more soon...

Hello and Welcome, Catherine....
I am so sorry...you've been through more than any person should have to...and I'm sorry you've been having to suffer with the symptoms of JRA from such a young age...and then Lupus too. What a huge life struggle for you! Man, you need more than just positive vibes sent your way...you need a huge HUG and a shoulder to cry on. Sending gentle HUGS to you and my most positive, encouraging vibes....and I'll throw in a special prayer for you too. In fact, I'll put you at the top of my prayer list today.
I'm terribly sorry your recent flare is such an energy draining, debilitating one. I've had Lupus since I was 18 (27 years now) and I remember so well the low grade fevers day after day and the joint pains that moved to different joints every day and I understand exactly, the fatigue that can make you sleep for hours...this can all make you feel miserable and very ovewhelmed..and like it's never gonna end. It can quickly spiral you into such frustration and depression, especially if you don't have anyone close to you to talk with and share your feelings. Everyone needs that outlet to vent and cry and just tell someone how awful you're feeling. With this disease, it can make it even worse if you have to bottle it up and keep everything to yourself. That causes us great stress in and of itself. I'm sorry the one person you wish you could open up to, your mom, isn't an option for you...you're such a sweet daughter to try to protect her...and I'm sorry she has Lupus too.
You mention you've been on Plaquenil for your treatment and it's worked well up till now...Have you talked to your doctor/Rheumatologist about the severity of this particular flare and what you're going through? Perhaps he or she may want to adjust your medication dosage (I don't know if this is possible with Plaquenil, I've only been on Prednisone and Imuran), or maybe add another med for the short term to get on top of this. I'm certain there are some options for combining different meds to try to get on top of the worse kinds of flares. I would encourage you to give your doctor a call right away.
And I'm wondering if you've ever used a therapist or counselor, as a person to talk to about your struggles with your illnesses? When I reached a point with my Lupus where I just couldn't take the pain and suffering anymore and I was extremely overwhelmed and had no one to talk to that truly understood what I was going through, I finally sought help from an excellent therapist. And she was a Godsend...she helped me deal with my frustration with the disease, my anger at the world, my depression, and she gave me some great tangible ideas to incorporate into my day to day life with Lupus. I am of the mind that every person with Lupus should ask their doctor to give them a referral to a therapist...I believe we can all use their services at some point in our journey with Lupus. I feel like they are another important part of our team of doctors and professionals to help us with our treatment...actually, to me one of the most important after your Rheumatologist. I don't know what your insurance coverage situation is, but you might check to see if you have benefits for a mental health counselor or therapist.
Lastly, I'm glad you took the step and decided to join us in conversation on this forum and not just read from the sidelines. I'm positive you're going to find that the people on this site are the greatest for support and understanding and I know they will make you feel very welcome. There is always someone here to listen when you want to vent or share, or just plain throw your hands in the air and scream....we've all had the chance to do that. And this is a great place for acceptance for who you are and for whatever stage your Lupus and your life are in.
Please keep coming back and know that you've found a group of people that want to help you in any way we can...and will do our best to lift you up when you're down and encourage you through your days.
Catherine...you are in my prayers...

I flashed his Firmware which was working ok except root being messed up. However after I flashed this kernel it just sits on a black screen after the samsung screen. I had to restore a previous back up. Something in my configuration is not right.
P.S. I am using the sammy kernel.
P.P.S. Oh whow some how the leak that I was flashing was LC2 no LD3. Have to pay more attention.
Like I said feed back don't take it personal.let's just stick to giveing feed back on this kernel and not have you get all sensetive like a women. All I said was that the battery life seem to be going very fast that is my experiance you don't like it then that is your problem. So I will leave it at that you move on
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
I installed this kernel last night right after release on AOKP, and didn't have any issues, except for a SOD after I set the minimum clock speed to 100MHz. Since I'm waiting on an important phone call (family member on his deathbed), I swapped back to Siyah for use overnight, just so I wouldn't miss any calls or my alarm for work. Now that I'm at work with a spare phone, I reinstalled the NEAK kernel (after running the kernel cleaning scripts AND manually clearing caches through recovery), but I've run into an issue and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what could be going on. When I reboot my phone, if I don't immediately unlock the screen and keep moving between home screens or provide some kind of phone input, the phone will completely freeze during the process where it checks the SD card for errors. Once that notification goes away, I can let the phone sit and everything works as normal, but if I leave the phone alone after a reboot it won't finish the error check and I have to power off the phone manually and power it back on to get it working again.
Here's what I've tried.
I removed all of the startup tweaks.
I disabled the CPU settings
I repaired permissions through recovery
I rebooted without my SD card installed.
Cleared caches (regular and Dalvik)
Nothing has seemed to fix the issue. Since it's more or less a "minor" bug (only happens during a reboot), I can live with it, I just have to remember to keep the CPU active during startup.

Pretty Green Bc Needed Quickly!
Decorating By Sweet-Kakes Updated 24 Feb 2009 , 3:36am by stephaniescakenj
Can someone tell me what Wilton colors to use to get a nice, pretty spring green or mint green shade of buttercream? I don't want that neon green that I seem to get when I use Wilton's leaf green by it's self. I really only have access to Wilton colors, since this is a last minute cake for this coming Saturday. I have the Wilton 8 pc color set, and would like to use what I have. Is that possible?
Wilton's Kelly Green should get you what you want. It makes beautiful grass.
If you have the primary colors, you can make your own. Yellow + Blue makes Green.
You can gradually add SMALL amounts of wilton brown to tone down the "neon" of the green.
I always add a little lemon yellow for lighter or forrest and moss green to darken to my leaf green. I don't like the result of leaf green only either.
yea try a little dab of brown and then a little bit of yellow.

ANAHEIM – Authorities have identified a woman whose mangled remains were found near a freeway off-ramp early Saturday morning.
The woman, who possibly was struck by several cars, was identified Saturday night by the Orange County Coroner as Desiree Moriel, 30, of Diamond Bar. The circumstances of her death remain under investigation, and details of how she ended up on the freeway remained unknown at 10 p.m. Saturday.
The official cause of death is pending an autopsy.
Authorities received reports of the body shortly after midnight on the 57 northbound near the Katella Avenue off-ramp, said police Sgt. Bob Dunn.
Both Anaheim Police Department and California Highway Patrol officials arrived on scene and found the body, damaged beyond recognition, officials said.
Some of the witnesses who called in reports said that the deceased person may have jumped or been thrown out of a moving vehicle on the freeway, Dunn said.
"At this point, we have not ruled out foul play," Dunn said earlier Saturday.
Officials closed part of the freeway during the investigation, but it was reopened around 6:30 a.m.
Police are asking any drivers or witnesses with information to call Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS or at occrimestoppers.org. Tips can also be made by texting OCCS plus the information to 274637. All tips can be made anonymously.

Hogan and Angle: Their Legacy and Folly
by, 05-11-2011 at 05:30 PM (3480 Views)
Hey EWN. Been a lurker for a while and thought it was time to join the community as ive been enjoying reading the blogs and threads here more and more. Hope i'm sticking to the rules.
This is about TNA's Kurt Angle and Hulk Hogan and the image the IWC has of them now.
I typically don't watch TNA. But will stay up on monday nights til 4am to watch monday night raw live as i'm in the UK. As almost every tuesday im left disappointed and tired from what i've seen the night before; I actually want TNA to develop to a point where WWE recognises its real competition and steps up it's game. And put the brakes on wrestlmania soon becoming renamed 'entertainmentmania'
Hope thats a nice set up for me explaining what I see from Kurt Angle and Hulk Hogan when i flick to TNA during the long wait til 2am.
Kurt Angles jump to TNA I must say is the biggest shock move that way espeially as it has a reputation for a WWE graveyard. As a main eventer in WWE it was a big big deal, for me especially, and actually made me consider checking out what TNA is about. While at that time it wasn't for me, at least it got me aware of it even if i dismissed it.
Fast forward to The Hulk Hogan Press conference at MSG and the next time I opened my eyes to TNA's product. Promising to bring wrestling back to what it was in terms of natual promo's. A big but obvious statement, but the momentum he's offered TNA in terms of awareness, and in becoming a more accessible product (maybe not everyones desired direction for TNA) has been steady.
While Angles image has been tarnished by his comments and actions outside of the squared circle. His twitter 'hack', his DUI's, His wannabe storytale return to olympics. He still has been nothing but the greatest ever servant for TNA. He has gone through divorce, through to working with his ex everyweek for the good of the company. It can't be easy to be put in a situation where your personal life is being played out as if a soap opera for the world to see. But for the good of the company he has worked with it. And the feud with Jarrett has been one of the longest while still remaining watchable because of the realism it has connected to it. He has also elevated the legacy of characters like Samoa Joe and Styles. Even though right now TNA has put their involvement on the back burner. The legacy has definitely built because of Angles work with them. The aura and history these TNA developed wrestlers have has been elevated. Because their feuds have been back and forth, as Angle had professionally put his ego aside for just twitter rants to help generate more stars for the company by being able to be put over.
Rolling back to his time in WW...F, You could only see an impressive worker. A heel most of his career, booed and 'you suck, what?!' chanted to oblivion. He has always worked and worked. And i think thats why Vince was happy to release him on his request. Because of what he has selflessly given to the company. Only difference now is its a contribution to the entire sport.
Hulk Hogan is a different story but i am looking at his positive impact now. I enjoy the new free natural promo's. I enjoy the backstage filming on impact. And as a matter of personal taste i like that the gimmicky 6 sided ring is gone. It's more pure now and looks like a product. A better product is what will entice people to tune in. Like i mentioned before. The accessibility of TNA has increased and that is because of Hogans input. I don't think its questionable that he was the 'main man' to take wrestling to mainstream awareness 'brother'. So in hiring a man that helped the sport evolve the way it has you can only ask that he help develop a growing company through his experience. It shows TNA's mission was to infact become more accessible and that shows that's is why Dixie hired him. Much like a manager creates the style of play of their team. The chairman will hire the manager based on their style in the first place. The ratings may not be there yet but its content has been transformed in the way it should.... if.... you want it to be more accessible.
Maybe his ego is ridiculous. It has been for years before TNA. And his personal and family life is just nuts, but he still gets on with the job, and he still has contributed to an industry more than we wish we ever could. But in a time where the internet exposes all of the flaws of a wrestler (my first instinct was to type superstar.. oh dear) It isn't going to be uncommon for personal problems to be hot topics when they appear. All i'm saying is while Angle and Hogan may get on our nerves with their gum flapping and shoot first ask questions later personal life. They deserve our respect for what they have given, and still give, to the sport. In all walks of celebrity life we see tiger woods style affairs and slanderous off the cuff comments that are offensive, but people know to seperate the legacy from the personal character. Why in wrestling is it overly different?
Hope you enjoyed that, take care

Sign Up for Levee Info
Quick Links
Foster City maintains the levee along the Bayfront, surrounding the majority of the outer perimeter of the City. Foster City's Levee system is primarily designed for flood protection. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had previously certified (accredited) Foster City's levee in 2007 as providing protection from the 1-percent annual chance (base) flood. This means that most land within Foster City is classified as Zone X, where mandatory flood insurance is not required. FEMA has recently conducted a coastal flood hazard study which has determined that roughly 85% of Foster City's levee system does not meet FEMA requirements. Therefore, the levee will not retain accreditation status when the Flood Insurance Rate Map is updated in mid-2016. Unless changes are made to the levee system, the entire city will be placed in a flood zone designation that will require that property owners with Federally-backed loans obtain flood insurance and owners selling property in Foster City will be required to disclose the flood zone designation as part of the sale. The estimated cost for flood insurance is several thousand dollars per year per property.

Waste of money.
GNC just released this newbie online. It's supposed to increase your HGH levels naturally, working with your body's own natural production of HGH. Studies behind it seem solid. I am really into the science behind what I will put into my body. I am going to try it and will report back. Anyone else tried it? Link, if it's ok to post. SeroVital Home Page
You can Google the name "serovital" to find the studies and info about it. Sounds promising.
Waste of money.
Have you tried it?? What were your results? Here is the link I found, they were talking about it at some obesity conference in Texas last week. I have been thinking about getting the injections until I saw this, I am kinda scared to do the injections, I waste a ton of money on stuff that doesn't work, what if this does?
'Fountain of Youth' Pill Steals the Show at San Antonio Obesity Conference -- SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
1. never shop at GNC
2. it's a proprietary blend of amino acids, this has been done before.
3. it works identically and is to be taken identically as that of l-dopa.
I do not see anything to get really excited about.
As a female, I am a little cautious about the injections, but you are right. Wait and see right? I know me though, I LOVE to try the newest thing. I might give it a try and keep you guys posted on what it actually does for me.
One more thing: I usually order online or Vitamin Shoppe for my supps. But GNC does have a Gold Card Tuesday which cuts stuff like multi-vitamins in half. They got busted a few years back for not putting what they say they do in their brands vitamins, so now, they are actually the real deal.
This product is a must have, not only for an athlete but just the everyday person you see walking down the street. I've been taking Growth Factor-9 for a few weeks now & feel much better. I feel rejuvenated when I wake up thanks to an improvement in my sleep. My energy throughout the day is higher, which helps me through m workouts after work. Lifting hasn't been as strenuous & my muscle recovery has become a lot quicker. This product seems like a win-win!
Be careful with ANY supplement that claims to change or work with your hormones. HGH has proven effects on weight loss and muscle gain, HOWEVER, the long-term effects and effects when quitting are unknown. If our bodies were meant to have high levels of HGH as adults, they would continue to produce it. It can be very dangerous to mess with our hormones without a physician's approval-just make sure you have a DR with no investment in the company you are inquiring about. I use supplements, so I am not against all supplements. I just hate to see people put their health at risk and compromise their finances. My mom believes everything Dr. Oz says to take--he recommends taking a handful of different products on every show! Imagine your medicine cabinet if you took everything! Companies pay him to endorse products, so be careful. Also, drugs and supplements may block each other when it comes to absorption, and/or may not even actually be absorbed because your digestive enzymes break them to the point where they do nothing at all. Just do your research I am curious how the product works but I would like to see it written from a source that is separate from their company.
Secondly even if this product works as claimed, their own study admits it is equivalent to 0.06iu of injected GH, a dose which anyone who has used real injected GH will tell you has virtually no fat loss effects.
I'm a medical doctor who researches the latest developments in bodybuilding, fat loss & sport supplements

If it really has HGH in it and it's a pill, then it's illegal. HGH is available legally only by prescription, and it's used primarily to stimulate growth in children whose growth is otherwise stunted. It's also prescribed off-label to increase vitality in seniors.
If it doesn't really have HGH in it, then who knows if it's any good at anything. Maybe if you crush it into a fine powder you can use it as a granulated scrub on your kitchen sink

FYI Daily
DSM-5, Grief, and Depression
Last updated: Dec 03, 2012
Two tough conditions often lurk behind the lights and tinsel of the holiday season: grief and depression. They often share many of the same symptoms. But are they the same thing? After much debate in the psychiatric world, the ruling is yes: The new DSM-5 mental-health diagnostic guide no longer supports a "grief exclusion" for depression.
That means that someone suffering a loss who shows the signs of depression can be treated as being clinically depressed. Health workers in the past excluded grief as being depression until the severe symptoms persisted longer than two months or made the person functionally impaired.
There are arguments for and against this distinction. For example, some clinicians say that many kinds of stressors can lead to depression, so why not mourning? Some people do experience an extreme form of mourning known as "complicated grief". But other experts worry that wthout the exception, the grief process will be rushed along, swept under a rug as unnatural, or overmedicated.
The Geripal blog on geriatrics and palliative care comes out wishing that well enough had been left alone, noting that the strong emotions of grieving are not a disorder but a healthy and adaptive response to loss. And they take time. In other words, depression is a clinical disorder but grief is a natural process.
Some considerations if you or a loved one feels grief-related blues this holiday season:
Don't be surprised if these emotions surface at the holidays, even if your loved one died some time ago -- or is still alive.
Holidays trigger deep emotions. For those who have a loved one with Alzheimer's, it's natural to experience grieving before death.
Realize how broad the definition of "normal" is, when it comes to mourning.
Learn the five classic stages of grief and a new assessment of the "tasks" a griever goes through on a very individualistic timeline.
Know you can help someone who's grieving.
Good approaches can be as simple as listening, being honest, and not being afraid to talk about the dead. Respect the griever's cues on how to celebrate the holidays.
Don't believe many of the myths about grief.
For example, some people say you can cry too much, or too little. Or that grief should last a set amount of time. (No, no, and no.)
Is grief a form of depression? However the psychiatric community defines it, anyone who has been through it knows that labels can't ease the pain. Time, perspective, and the love of others help do that. Even so, grieving never goes away completely.

PUCL Bulletin, September 1998
Branded Tribes of India
[The following piece is by G. N. Devi, editor Budhan, the newsletter of the Denotified Nomadic Tribes Rights Action Groups (DNT-RAG). The newsletter is named after one Budhan Sabar who belonged to the Kheria Sabar Tribal community of the Purulia region in West Bengal. His dead body was handed over from the Purulia jail to his family in February, 1998. The police said that he had committed suicide in his jail cell. Jnanpeeth-Magsaysay award winner Mahasweta Devi took this case to the Calcutta High Court and alleged that Budhan was beaten to death. Justice Rama Pal of the Calcutta High Court rejected the police story in the judgment delivered on July 6 and ordered the State Government to pay compensations of Rs. 80,000/- to his wife and Rs. 5,000/- to his parents. The judgment also directed the State to punish the Jail Superintendent of Purulia and the office in-charge of Burrabazar police station. The newsletter of TNT-RAG is so named after Budhan Sabar - General Secretary]
The social category generally known as the Denotified and Nomadic tribes of India covers a population approximately of six crores. Some of them are included in the list of Scheduled castes, some others in the Scheduled Castes, some others in the Scheduled Tribes, and quite a few in Other Backward Classes. But there are many of these tribes which find place in none of the above. What is common to all these Denotified and Nomadic Tribes (DNTs) is the fate of being branded as 'born' criminals.
The story of the DNTs goes back to the early years of the colonial rule. In those times, whoever opposed the British colonial expansion was perceived as a potential criminal. Particularly, if any attempts were made to oppose the government by the use of the arms, the charge of criminality was a certainty. Many of the wandering minstrels, fakirs, petty traders, rustic transporters and disbanded groups of soldiers were included by the British in their list of criminal groups. During the first half of the nineteenth century, the tribes in the North West frontier had been declared 'criminal tribes'. This category became increasingly open ended and by 1871 the British had prepared an official list of Criminal Tribes. An act to regulate criminal tribes was passed that year. For instance, Bhils who had fought the British rule in Kandesh and on the banks of Narmada and were convicted under section 110 of the IPC were to be recognised as criminal tribes. The CT Act made provisions for establishing reformatory settlements where the criminal tribals could be kept in confinement and subjected to low paid work. They were required to report to the guardrooms several times every day, so that they did not escape the oppressive settlements.
By 1921, the CT Act had been extended to cover numerous other tribes in Madras Presidency, Hyderabad and Mysore. Thus, about the time Indian politics saw the emergence of Mahatma Gandhi as the leader of the freedom struggle, the Indian society mutely witnessed the emergence of a new class of people who were branded as born criminals.
Soon after Independence, the communities notified as criminal tribals were denotified by the Government. This notification was followed by substitution of a series of Acts, generally entitled 'Habitual Offenders Act! The HOAs preserved most of the provisions of the former CT Acts, except the premise implicit in it that an entire community can be 'born' criminal. Apparently, the denotification and the passing of the HOAs should have ended the misery of the communities penalised under the CT Act. But that has not happened. The police force as well as the people in general were taught to look upon the 'Criminal Tribes' as born criminals during the colonial times. That attitude continues to persist even today. One does not know if the police training academies in India still teach the trainees that certain communities are habitually criminal; but surely the CT Act is a part of the syllabus leading to the discussion of crime-watch. The result is that every time there is a petty theft in a locality, the DNTs in the neighbourhood become the first suspects. The ratio between the arrests and the convictions of the DNTs needs to be analysed to see the extent of the harassment caused by the police to these most vulnerable and the weakest sections of our society. The land possessed by the criminal tribes was already alienated during the colonial rule. After independence, various state governments have done little to restore their land to them. Schemes for economic uplift do not seem to have benefited them. The illiteracy rate among the DNTs is higher than among the SCs or the STs, malnutrition's more frequent and provisions for education and health care almost negligible since most of the DNTs have remained nomadic in habit. And above all, there is no end to the atrocities that the DNTs have to face.
Being illiterate and ignorant of the law of the land, the DNTs know very little about the police procedures, and so often get into difficult situations. The onus of proving innocence rests with them. I have known many of these people who are scared to wear new clothes for the fear of being arrested and therefore spoil them before using them. Mob-lynched, hounded from village to village, starved of all civic amenities, deprived of the means of livelihood and gripped by the fear of police persecution, the DNTs of India are on the run. Freedom has still not reached them.
It is time that the
Census authorities take up the work of deciding on a procedure to count
the DNTs as a distinct category in the next Census. Similarly, the police
training academies will have to make special efforts to senstise the new
trainees to treat this unfortunate lot with less brutality and greater
understanding. They will have to be brought under the provisions made
for the STs in the Tribal Sub-plans. Moreover, the people of India will
have to raise their voice and alert the authorities at local and national
level to the kind of silent genocide that the DNTs are facing. It is then
that, some day, these first freedom fighters of our country will receive
the benefits of independence for which they have carried the stigma of
being branded for over a century.

Hi Stephan,
I came to Haiku after the discussion about docbook versus doxygen, at least I don't remember it... :-) In many places in the code, I came across doxygen documentation, and I thought it was pretty nice. Whenever it made sense, I updated documentation, or tried to include documentation when I added new functions. I guess this is exactly the point of doxygen. I have no idea what the reason was to make docbook the official tool for documentation. (I should probably try to look it up in the mail archives, but don't feel like that right now.) So if you manage to bridge between
Archives were lost since then so it's not easy to look at them :(
Back then, Docbook had the advantage of being transformable with XSL to any content we'd like. We thought to Doxygen in a way to generate API documentation, but it didn't have something really better than Docbook in its use, apart its ability to parse source files for doc tags. Now, the generated XML from Doxygen could be used to generate API docbook files. About the Docbook syntax, I don't think it's hard to learn and write, particularly if there is already a load of samples to reuse.
The Boost XSL sheets used to convert from Doxygen XML are already in our repository. It's not easy to integrate them and structure the book.
Bye, Jérôme

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "I'm the king of the world!!"-- Jack Dawson, Titanic Sorry for the awful Titanic reference, but I thought it captured the moment, especially as Yahoo! ( YHOO) has now surpassed Google ( GOOG) with regards to Web traffic for the first time since July 2011, according to comScore. Of 225 million Internet users in July, 87.2% of them visited a Yahoo! site, accounting for 196.65 million unique visitors. That's markedly higher than the traffic Google experienced, which had 192.25 million unique visitors. Rounding out the top five were Microsoft ( MSFT), Facebook ( FB), and AOL ( AOL). This is a big deal, especially as Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer has vowed to make Yahoo! a "daily habit" for consumers. Mayer has made countless acquisitions to boost Yahoo!'s engineering team, most of them being acqui-hires, as she tries to bring more people to Yahoo! properties, and make the company more relevant in the future. Clearly, that strategy is paying off, as traffic has risen 20% from last year. What's even more impressive about Yahoo! vaulting to the top spot is the results don't account for the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based tech giant's biggest acquisition this year of Tumblr. In July, Tumblr had 38.4 million unique visitors, though a portion of the company's traffic is assigned "to other syndicated entities," per comScore's results. Tacking on just the 38.4 million unique visitors, and Yahoo! properties had 235.05 million unique visitors in July. Considering there were only 225 million unique visitors in the survey, Yahoo! is clearly seeing an explosion in traffic. Mayer's strategy of making Yahoo! an important factor in our daily consumption habits is only just beginning, as she revamps the company for mobile, and gives its properties a fresh, new, clean look. Mayer's next big revamp project is Yahoo! Finance. Yahoo! is spending an inordinate amount of time on this project, with the company cleaning house on some of its publishers. According to sources close to the situation, the project is known internally as HomeRun, and will make the Yahoo! Finance page look similar to the Yahoo! homepage, which was redesigned earlier this year.

MDR3 Deficiency
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report MDR3 Deficiency is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
MDR3 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that predominantly affects the liver. The disorder represents a spectrum of diseases that can range from mild to severe. The main symptom is interruption or suppression of the flow of bile from the liver (cholestasis). In addition, affected individuals may be prone to forming gallstones. Cholestasis in MDR3 deficiency occurs due to defects within the liver (intrahepatic) rather than within the bile ducts outside the liver (extrahepatic). Cholestasis can cause yellowing of the skin mucous membranes and whites of the eyes (jaundice), failure to thrive, growth deficiency, easy bleeding, rickets and persistent itchiness. Symptoms may be present in the neonatal period rather than at birth (congenital) or, in mild cases, may not appear until middle age when the disorder manifests as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, gallstone disease, or jaundice and scarring of the liver (cirrhosis). MDR3 deficiency is caused by mutations of the ABCB4 gene and is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
The terminology used to describe MDR3 deficiency can be confusing. The term can be applied to several disorders including progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) type 3, benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) type 3, low phospholipid associated cholelithiasis (LPAC) syndrome, adult biliary fibrosis or cirrhosis, and certain cases of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), of drug induced cholestasis (DIC) and of transient neonatal cholestasis (TNC). These disorders are all caused by mutations of the ABCB4 gene and resulting deficiency of MDR3.

A Wickhambrook man who launched a violent attack in a pub has been handed a suspended jail term.
Dennis Barwick, 42, of Nunnery Green, was also ordered to complete 200 hours' unpaid work and pay his victim £1,000 compensation.
Ipswich Crown Court heard on Friday how Barwick was holding keys when he punched Jason Saunders in the face, resulting in permanent scarring, at The Railway Tavern at Elmswell, near Stowmarket, in January. Barwick pleaded guilty to wounding and causing damage to a property at an earlier hearing.
Peter Gair, prosecuting, said the pair had previously been on good terms but recently fell out. He said they began exchanging angry words after Mr Saunders saw his partner talking to Barwick.
Mr Saunders, who told police he thought he was going to be attacked, knocked Barwick to the floor after moving his arm back "in a sweeping motion", Mr Gair said.
Barwick shattered two panes of glass, showering two customers with shards, after being ordered outside by the landlord and hit Mr Saunders in the face, causing two cuts, on returning to the pub later.
Mr Saunders said: "Dennis had a sharp object in his right hand. I was only aware of this when it was jabbed into my face. I felt instant pain. I was covered in blood."
Mr Gair said it later emerged Barwick was holding keys when he hit him.
Hugh Vass, mitigating, said his client was "genuinely remorseful" but had been subjected to "significant provocation" and was unaware he had keys in his hand.
Barwick was given a 12-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months along with a 12-month supervision order and a 10-day alcohol treatment programme.

well, they're both big, they just don't play very big, which is why they aren't locks to be lottery picks.
It also hurts that they're both twins in the same draft, which generally drops players a little lower than they should be.
Talent-wise, Marcus of Markiff would be good value at #15. Marcus would be a little better fit for how Indiana wants to play. They badly need another frontcourt scorer to come off the bench.

ok, so 15 minutes.
Regarding Faried, I'm a big fan too. At 6'8'' he's probably a little undersized, but his length and athleticism helps make up for it. Certainly he plays bigger than his listed height. And he might actually be taller than Big Ben, who by some accounts is just 6'6'' and certainly no more than 6'8''.
Also like what I've seen of Tristan Thompson.
For comparison's sake, that's the same wingspan that 6'2'' Shelvin Mack has! Really concerning if you're expecting Marcus Morris to be your starting PF. To be fair, it's not an official NBA measurement. And there have been successful players with relatively short arms (say Blake Griffin and Kevin Love, both 6'10'' with 6'11'' wingspans). 6'7'' for a 6'9'' guy is really T-rex arms territory though.
Indiana has a starting PF. They need a backup PF that can score.
Marcus Morris is a shooter, not really a pure post up player, so wingspan is not much of an issue there.
Faried resembles Reggie Evans to me. He's not a great man to man defender. Awesome rebounder, though.

DX says this about him:
I don't think we need another inconsistent player with shot selection issues, struggling defense, and an attitude problem. I used to think highly of him, but now, PASS.Never really finding his groove coming off the bench on a team featuring three players picked in the 2010 draft, Hamilton was incredibly inconsistent from game to game last year, showing significant issues with his shot-selection, defense and in turn his body language when faced with adversity.
We need a taller point guard with court vision, a banger power forward and a strong center, all to backup our current starters. That, of course, is pending any other moves we make this offseason. I can't think of anyone else in this draft whom we could take advantage of, or be able to reach, so I suggest we trade the pick for a potential lotto pick next year, and try picking up other assets through trades and signings.
witters: @imbtyler, @postgameonline
Look man, you are trying to overthink a simple thing here. Which leads to bad logic. There's no magic period you need to spend in Europe or college to get stereotyped. People who know how long a player spent in one league, generally know enough about that player not to stereotype him.
People who stereotype - they mostly aren't that sophisticated on the subject.
I wouldn't mind getting Biyombo we might as well swing for the fences. Didn't this guy get or was close to getting a triple double in the worlds game with rebounds blocks and points?
Also if this draft is so awful outside of williams and irving. Is there any team in the league that has a higher pick that would possible consider trading their pick away for just some salary relief and give us a chance to move up if we so choose?
I don't see Biyombo escaping the top 10, either.
No team would do that simply for the PR nightmare. I could see someone trading their pick for a future 1st, though.
They said they did it because the draft was really that weak.
I'm saying you don't do it on draft day. If fans are looking forward to a new player and you hand them cap space, it's a tough pill to swallow.
Otherwise you'd have noticed that (in the post you just quoted) I said that the stereotype isn't used by everyone.
Or maybe you mean, there's no 'soft Euro shooter' stereotype at all? There was a thread here not long ago about Valanciunas. One of the first posts - something along the lines of 'no thanks, don't want Euro shooters who are lazy to defend'. That's an extreme example, since that particular player is 100% energy right now, and next to 0 shooting skills, kind of a young Splitter. But man, that Dirk/Bargnani stereotype keeps coming up in all the wrong spots.
There are soft euro shooters, just like there are soft American shooters. JJ Reddick went from the ACC's all time leading scorer to having to prove he even belonged in the NBA.

Some are VERY outdated. So much in fact they actually have the Pacers picking at 12th.
I haven't seen anyone mention Kawhi Leonard. Maybe locals didn't get to see much of him because he was on the west coast. Seems like a good selection at 15.
I want Ivan Renko. 6'8 230 pound Yugoslav big man. I think he's going to be the real deal.
I love that cdash. I don't want to give it away, but all I am going to say is Bob Knight.
Read the book a long time ago.
Honestly, I think Leonard meets all your criteria.
Its official: we're taking Leonard.

MOSCOW, March 29 (Xinhua) -- The metro line in Moscow, shut off following two suicide bomb attacks, has resumed operation late on Monday.
Passengers and reporters were allowed into the Lubyanka station by 05:10 p.m. local time (1310 GMT), with the Cultural Park station being reopened earlier, and traffic had returned to normal along the line, the subway's spokeswoman said.
At the platforms of the two stations, some citizens were seen dedicating flowers to the victims.
Two deadly blasts struck the Lubyanka and Cultural Park subway stations in central Moscow during rush hours on Monday morning, with an interval of around 45 minutes, killing at least 37 people and injuring about 65 others.
The blasts were confirmed as having been set off by two female suicide bombers who probably were linked to terrorist groups in North Caucasus.
