The field of medical imaging advances so rapidly that all of those working in it, scientists, engineers, physicians, educators and others, need to frequently update their knowledge in order to stay abreast of developments. While journals and periodicals play a crucial role in this, more extensive, integrative publications that connect fundamental principles and new advances in algorithms and techniques to practical applications are essential.
Medical Image Processing: Techniques and Applications meets this challenge and provides an enduring bridge in the ever expanding field of medical imaging. It serves as an authoritative resource and self-study guide explaining sophisticated techniques of quantitative image analysis, with a focus on medical applications. The book emphasizes the conceptual framework of image analysis and the effective use of image processing tools. It presents a detailed approach to each application while emphasizing insight and "tricks of the trade", and the applicability of techniques to other research areas. Although each chapter is written by an expert (or experts) in that area and is essentially self-contained, fundamental connections between the different topics are emphasized so that the book forms an integrated whole.
The book is designed for end users who wish to update their skills and understanding with the latest techniques in image analysis. Providing unprecedented breadth and detail, it will be a valuable cross-disciplinary resource both at the graduate and specialist level. It is also well suited to supplement and motivate learning in graduate-level image processing classes within biomedical engineering, radiology and computer science.

Dame Helen Mirren gets saucy on SNL
By Kim Palacios
hollywoodnews.com: "Unexpected" is the only way to describe Dame Helen Mirren's turn as host on last night's Saturday Night Live. The Englishwoman's opening spiel focused on decoupling the image played in her Oscar-winning role (that of Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 film "The Queen") from her own less inhibited personality. Yet the sketches went far in painting Mirren as a sex symbol, focusing on her sex appeal not only during the opening monologue but also through an SNL Digital Short dedicated to her cleavage. In a subsequent sketch sixty-five year old Mirren even played a stripper.
"I may have been appointed dame of the British Empire," said the actress as she opened the show "…but I'm not all scones and teacups–I'm more biscuits and D-cups." A subsequent song she sung included the line, "Have you ever seen 'Caligula'? I'm in the orgy scene." The SNL Digital Short featured Nasim Pedrad touching the actress' cleavage and being transported through a religious experience that likened the destination to cloud white heaven. The sketch featured a cameo of Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl.

I think the Mexican league probably still is better in terms of the quality they're able to attract from top to bottom, Altidore said. The inferior teams so to speak in Mexico are able to spend a little more and spread it out and get some more quality players. Our league is doing a good job of trying to counter that. navy and lime green baseball jersey We have a salary cap so it's different. But I think looking at both leagues with us having a salary cap, we have to be happy with where we are and where we're trying to go. I think the possibilities are great for MLS, and I think if anybody's future is brighter so to speak, you can't knock what's going on in MLS right now

Regardless of what actually caused the rise of home run rates, the prestige of the 500 Club has been diminished in the eyes of many by the number of its members connected to PEDs, namely Bonds, McGwire, Rodriguez, Sosa, David Ortiz, Rafael Palmeiro, Manny Ramirez and Gary Sheffield.

Most of the chapters are narrated by Taylor Greer, but Chapters Two and Four, which introduce Lou Ann, are narrated by an anonymous, omniscient narrator.
For the most part, the story is told from Taylor's point of view, and we are privy to her thoughts and feelings. Chapters Two and Four are written from a limited omniscient perspective, from which the narrator explains Lou Ann's thinking.

I saw "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou" last night. It's my new favorite Bill Murray/Owen Wilson/Wes Anderson movie. The entire movie maintains a very skewed view of the world, just slightly out of step with the world we live in. The only inauthentic scene, I think, is a minor one, seen in the previews, where Bill Murray is dancing to the electronic music being piped over his SCUBA helmet. I thought the computer-animated sea-life would be jarring or out of place but in context of the movie they were perfect.
Owen Wilson's Kentucky accent comes and goes, but I think (I'm hoping) that it was deliberate.
I think the David Bowie songs, sung acoustically in Portuguese, were an especially apt touch.

Are MCDC Settlements complete?
According to an article in the public finance daily newspaper, The Bond Buyer, the SEC is finished bringing settlements under its Municipalities Continuing Disclosure Cooperation ("MCDC") initiative. In the December 14 article LeeAnn Gaunt, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division's Public Finance Abuse Unit said, "We currently do not expect to recommend enforcement action against any additional parties under the initiative. We now think it is appropriate to turn our attention to issuers and underwriters and obligors that didn't participate."
The SEC has previously entered into settlements with 72 issuers from 45 states, and 72 underwriters, under the MCDC initiative. While the underwriters paid a total of $18 million in settlements, the issuers who settled with the SEC did not have to pay penalties, but agreed to establish appropriate written policies and procedures regarding their continuing disclosure obligations.
Meanwhile, many other issuers made voluntary disclosure filings under the MCDC initiative, but have not been contacted by the SEC. It now appears that those issuers no longer have to worry about the outcome of their filings and will not be the subject of any further settlements with the SEC.
This is good news for issuers who faced the uncertainty of having filed but not knowing what to expect next. In many cases, issuers had claimed in their filings that any reported omissions were not material. Undoubtedly, there will be significant speculation about the meaning of the SEC's decision not to pursue further settlements unless further clarification is forthcoming.

Did you know that 2014 was the one of the hottest year in the recorded history of the Earth?
It was not because of anything related to Kim Kardashian or Kanye West either!
According to the New York Times, last year was the hottest on the planet Earth since 1880. What does this mean and how on earth could last year have been so warm. Well, runaway greenhouse gas emissions are the main culprit.
This semester, we have been learning how exactly the greenhouse effect actually works and how mankind has had an actionable impact on global climate change. For example, as humans burn more fossil fuels to power our 21st century lives, more and more carbon dioxide emissions are released into the atmosphere. All of those extra emissions produced by cars, factories, homes, and businesses get clogged up in the atmosphere. With all those emissions, more and more of the sunlight that typically gets reflected back into space gets trapped between the atmosphere and the surface.
So, how exactly have increased carbon emissions in the atmosphere impacted the United States? For one, extreme heat has blanketed Alaska and the western US. The American West has been experiencing a harsh droughts that are completely changing the way many Americans live and use water. In fact, California Governor Jerry Brown has said that Californians have to forego water usage for things like gardening and carwash since freshwater is so scarce in the area.
Michael Freilich was interviewed by the Times and said that climate change is the major challenge that our generation will face. Increased global temperatures have an outsized impact on the temperatures of the world's oceans which contribute to harsher hurricanes, monsoons, and winters which can cause traumatic damage to human and animal life as well as material destruction. Increase heat will also kill forests, plant and animal species, melt land ice and accelerate the rise of sea levels.
April 22, other than being a certain someone's birthday, is Earth Day in the United States. Earth Day not only allows us to remember the environmental gain the US and the world have attained since the 1970s, but continue to marshal support for comprehensive environmental protection and alternative energy policies.
This Earth Day, partake in on campus activities that are being sponsored but also evaluate your own environmental impact. This can be done by calculating your carbon footprint online and committing to commonsense, environmentally conscious practices. Carpool, turn off excess utilizes that waste power, and write your local and federal public officials to ask them if they are fighting for our environment.
As Captain Planet would say, we can all make a difference in the fight to protect the world!

'Scouting' Molecules Give New Direction for Drug Development
Research highlight
'Scouting' Molecules Give New Direction for Drug Development
New insights into the behaviour of molecules could have major implications for the design of drugs that block protein interactions. A team of researchers led by Dr Peter Crowley at the National University of Ireland Galway has revealed in intricate detail how a drug-like molecule can explore the surface of a protein.
The pioneering work was published by Nature Chemistry online (Sunday, 29 April) and will appear in the June issue of the journal. It was found that molecules scout around the protein surface, moving from one location to another constantly examining their surroundings.
For the past thirty years, drug design has been dominated by the search for small molecules that fit perfectly into a protein's active site and modify its activity. Recently, the focus of attention has shifted to molecules that recognise and bind to the protein surface. Such molecules can camouflage the protein and prevent it binding to other proteins. Knowledge of these interactions is essential to the development of therapies that target undesirable protein interactions such as occur in Alzheimer's disease.
"Inside every cell thousands of different proteins work together, like the parts in a machine, to sustain life. How proteins stick to one another and to other molecules is a crucial piece in the complicated puzzle of biochemistry and often the key to effective drugs", explains Dr Crowley.
The researchers chose a negatively charged molecule called calixarene and a protein with lots of lysine amino acids, which are positive. The opposite charges cause a force of attraction between them. Using sophisticated analytical methods, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, Dr Crowley and colleagues were able to visualise how the calixarene sticks to the protein surface.
"Another feature of the calixarene is its bowl-shape. Lysine can fit snugly inside the calixarene, which ensures that an interaction takes place", adds Dr Crowley. "It turns out that the calixarene binds to several different lysines and explores the protein surface by hopping from one lysine to another. The result is exciting because it adds a new dimension to our understanding and provides drug designers with an alternative strategy."
Dr Crowley emphasised the importance of funding basic research and acknowledged the support of the National University of Ireland Galway and Science Foundation Ireland. The project was a collaborative effort that involved the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility and Dr Amir Khan at Trinity College Dublin.

Grimnirs (Runes #2.5) by Ednah Walters
Series: A Runes Novel
Release Date: December 2nd 2013
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Publisher: Firetrail Publishing
Presented by: As You Wish Tours
Banner Made by: Julia Hendrix
Purchase from Amazon: Grimnirs (A Runes Book) (YA Paranormal romance)
One lost love.
One lost best friend.
One hot soul reaper.
Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to be normal. She doesn't want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she's loved from a distance for years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she's nursing a serious heartbreak. It's no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.
The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection defies logic. It doesn't help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she's ever felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.
Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.
I'm already a fan of this creative YA series where Norse mythology, the magic of runes, and teen romance have been carefully crafted into a fantastical plot of intrigue, mystery, and suspense. The series does need to be read from the beginning in order to understand and follow the continuous storyline. While the first two books have featured Raine and Torin, in Grimnirs, the focus shifts to Raine's best friend, Cora.
Since I enjoyed the romance between Raine and Torin so much, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Cora, who until this point didn't really interest me as much as some of the other main characters. Although Cora has stood by and supported Raine in difficult times, she still seemed a bit shallow and superficial. Unlike Raine, Cora has always been more of a social butterfly, concerned with fashion, boys, and the latest high school gossip. In all fairness, though, her character has always been in the periphery and under-developed. Now, readers get to know the real Cora, a loving, compassionate young woman who is unwavering in her loyalty to her family, friends, and especially to one exceptional Grimnir who is in servitude to Hel, goddess of the Underworld.
Cora's life has drastically changed six weeks after the tragic swim meet where she witnessed a horrific scene of death and destruction. The emotional trauma she experienced led to a brief stint in a mental institute where she could recover. Now, she's back at home feeling alone and abandoned by her closest friends, Raine and Eirik. To make matters worse, she has an unexplainable ability to see ghosts or souls who haven't departed from Earth yet. Her newfound gift or curse, as she sees it, gradually pulls her into the world of Echo, a Grimnir whose purpose on Earth is to escort the souls of the recently departed to Hel, underworld of the dead.
Through a case of mistaken identity, Cora literally falls into Echo's arms and is shocked to discover she doesn't want to let him go despite the fact they come from two different worlds where Mortals and Immortals just don't mix.
Echo is a refreshing addition to the plot, and just as Torin did with Raine, he tries to fight his growing but forbidden attraction to this feisty, stubborn blonde who becomes a target of goddess Hel. When Hel begins to send Grimnirs to fetch Cora, Echo's loyalties become split over his need to protect Cora and still follow his goddess's directives.
Cora and Echo's love story is beautiful, and I was touched by the depth of their feelings for each other and the sacrifices they are willing to make to stay together. Cora is the light that brightens Echo's dark heart and tortured soul. Her loyalty and belief in him is amazing and inspiring. Even though this is a YA novel, the love scenes between the two do become intimate but are tastefully written.
Raine, Torin and the rest of the Valkyries continue to play major roles in the story and the overall plot becomes much more elaborate. I'm impressed with how Walters is able to keep all of the ongoing story threads unified as the series progresses. I also like that she creates characters whose motives aren't always clear. Just when I think I know how a character will respond, she creates complications that make me uncertain of just what that character will actually do. In this book, Eirik is a prime example. He has been making plans to be with Cora unaware of her involvement with Echo. When their worlds collide toward the end of the book, I really don't know how Eirik will direct his anger. The climax is suspenseful and the conclusion left me satisfied for now. I can't wait to see whose story will be featured next. All of the main characters have interesting stories just waiting to be told.
I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
"Now see what you made me do." I eased off the brake. Ahead, Dad's truck was nowhere in sight.
"Sorry about that," Echo said, but he didn't sound or look it. He reached out and lifted the hair on my right shoulder.
I swatted at his hand. "Stop that."
"Can't help it." He planted a kiss on my neck. The car swayed as I momentarily lost control.
"I'm serious. Quit messing with me, Echo."
"You smell amazing." He trailed kisses up my neck to my ear and inhaled.
The sensations that invaded my body were downright frightening. Not even Eirik had ever made me feel like this. If I could forget Echo was a lunatic and I was losing my mind, I would have enjoyed the sensation.
I reached up and tried to push his head away, but it was like moving a boulder. Worse, my hand sunk into his hair. It was silky, and for one brief moment, I wanted to run my fingers through it, maybe hold his head in place and savor the moment.
He bit my ear. I squealed and, once again, lost control of the car. "Dang it, Echo. We could get into an accident."
"But we self-heal."
I self-healed, too? Nice. No, not nice. I refused to start buying into his crazy assumptions. "I could hurt someone."
"There're just Mortals. If it's their time to go, it's their time to go. No force of nature can stop that. No, that's not true. Norns could. You look breathtaking this morning. Love that shade of red on you. Very vampy. What is it you once told me? Red gives you the extra oomph when you are having a shitty day."
The only person who knew that was Raine. "Who told you that?"
EDNAH WALTERS grew up reading Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys and dreaming of one day writing her own stories. She is a stay-at-home mother of five humans and two American short-hair cats (one of which has ADHD) and a husband. When she is not writing, she's at the gym doing Zumba or doing things with her family, reading, traveling or online chatting with fans.
Ednah is the author of The Guardian Legacy series, a YA fantasy series about children of the fallen angels, who fight demons and protect mankind.

In school students learn the basics of math, English, history, and science. There are some others skills that are important for students to know before they leave school. There are now courses that teach financial literacy and money management. Some wonder why is money management education important for students? There are several reasons why students should attend a money management course.
More Temptation:
Internet shopping is easy and is becoming very popular. All it takes is a credit card and a couple clicks of a button to spend money. Shopping and spending money is very easy. A student has to learn that it is important to save money and delay making unnecessary purchases. The earlier they learn this the better off they will be.
More Debt:
Young people today have a lot more debt than previous generations. Student loans are costly and it is easy to build up thousands of dollars a semester. There are also more credit cards being used today than in the past. Before a student knows what happens they can deep into debt. Financial literacy programs will teach a student how to accumulate less debt, pay off debt, and stay on top of their finances.
People are Going Bankrupt:
While every now and then life situations happen where a person may lose control of their finances, bankruptcy is becoming more common and people are declaring it at a younger age. According to research one in five people ages 18 to 24 declared bankruptcy. Many of these people had more debt than they were able to manage. Financial education could help a person stay out of debt and teach them tips on how to pay it off.
Save Later:
The younger generations are delaying the time they start savings for retirement. One reason is because they delay the start of their careers. Younger workers are also more likely to change jobs and they may not roll over the money for retirement that they have begun to build up. It is not uncommon for a person not to find a stable job until they are in their 30s. If a student learns the importance of saving from the time they are in school they will put money away at a younger age. It is more likely they will avoid taking time out of the workforce as well.
Not Everything is Fair:
While some people may be from a family where it is important to save and talk about money, not all young people are some lucky. Some people come from families that are struggling to get by. Other families do not talk about financial matters. If a child is not learning financial planning and education at home they need to learn it from somewhere. Schools are designed to help young people build up the skill they need in life including money management.
These are some of the important reasons as to why students should be taught about financial management and planning. These tips can help a student become successful and help them become financially secure.

James can make a whole series about stuff he likes because he's James but anyone else can't comment with a few words…? That's what I call wierd.WatchmenFTW

I've noticed that CarreyFan comments on all of the Monster Madness videos and I've also noticed that he knows a lot about what he is saying. He obviously likes older monster movies and he has the right to comment if he wants. Whats weird is that I have to stick up for a complete stranger because some people decide that they have to earn Internet Street Cred by putting other people down about how often they comment on James' videos. I personally haven't commented on all of them, but I have watched all of them. How is that any different than commenting on them. I personally give CarreyFan some credit for taking the time to not only, watch the videos, but also taking the time to log on and leave some friendly comments on a subject that James is fond of. If you have nothing better to do than to comment on people being "weird" then you must have no life.

My favorite movie from the monsters of Universal Era,
I love this movie, This movie has a very real feeling to it, I love the Gill man, I don't know why but this movie reminds me a lot of Anaconda for some reason, Even though that movie sucks balls,
One thing I do get angry about is the third Creature from the black lagoon, WTF where They thinking, they totally raped the Gill man a new one, Why made him human looking and so ugly, Everything that was amazing of the creature was destroyed in the 3rd one, his aggressiveness, his swimming,
I know they wanted to do something different, but Come on that's one of the worst movies I have seen, I remember seeing a Female creature of the black lagoon Figure and that made me think, I wish they would have done a movie based on that than what they did,
anyways great reviewpenpan

Awesome movie! It has everything, romance, fist fights, sea monster, a douche bag boss, and the beautiful women Kay played by Julie Adams. The monster looks badass! Great cinematography and seeing it in 3D in the 1950's is insane. I feel kinda bad 4 the creature, he jus wanted sum pussy.

Grateful and happy to be part of this beautiful endeavor by WholeMe/Neuromusings in Australia : ) I had so much fun answering their questions!
At the core of my life philosophy is the idea that we are all strong beyond measure. As one of my favorite Finnish philosophers, Dr. Esa Saarinen, often says: "There is more to us than meets the eye, more that is good". In short, that's what the research on sisu is all about – as well as imagining no limits.
Few days ago, WholeMe stumbled upon 'Are you mentally tough?' from Scott Barry Kaufman in Scientific American. In this great article on "mental toughness" beyond the body, Scott introduces the reader to the notion of 'Sisu', a finish word 'which refers to extraordinary determination, courage, and resoluteness in the face of extreme adversity'.
I instantly fell in love with the word 'Sisu'. First because of its semantic, neither in french, english nor spanish, a word describes so well what one can achieve through wholeness. Second because if there is a word it means there is hope. Ludwig Wittgenstein once said, "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world". For more on the semantic of 'Sisu' (versus perseverance, resilience, etc.) see the last

Boat Law Adds to Invasive Controls
Times Union
September 2, 2014
By Casey Seiler
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday signed legislation requiring boat owners to use "reasonable precautions" to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
The steps include cleaning, draining and drying the boat and trailer of visible plant and animal matter after pulling vessels out of the water.
Under the new law, first offenses would result in a written warning, while subsequent violations could prompt fines starting at $250 and topping out at $1,000.
In recent years, Lake George has been a major battleground in the war on invasive species such as the Asian clam, zebra mussels and spiny water fleas.
A new mandatory boat inspection system was launched in May at six launch sites around the lake thanks to support from state, federal and local support.
Eric Siy, executive director on the Fund for Lake George, said the program had inspected more than 14,000 boats since coming on line.
He praised the new law, but expressed disappointment that it won't go into effect for a year, and includes a "sunset" provision that repeals it on June 1, 2019.
"This is a crisis — that's not hype; that's based on our experiences in Lake George," Siy said.
He emphasized that the legislation needs to be backed up by sufficient inspection and decontamination resources.
"We built a fort on Lake George, but we are under siege," Siy said.
The League of Conservation Voters and the Adirondack Council praised the signing, and hoped to see additional support for the effort in the coming legislative session.
In a statement, Cuomo said the legislation "helps ensure that all who enjoy New York's waters will also do their part to limit the spread of different types of aquatic life that would otherwise harm the local ecosystem."

Flames Audio:
Liberty Softball Head Coach Dot Richardson recently completed her first season guiding the Lady Flames.
Following the conclusion of Liberty's 2014 softball season, Alan York of Liberty Flames Sports Network caught up with Lady Flames first-year head coach Dot Richardson for an interview. A two-time Olympic Gold medalist, Richardson was named the fifth head coach in the history of the Lady Flames' softball program on July 19, 2013. Richardson helped Team USA win two Olympic Gold medals, along with Gold at five Pan American Games and four World Championships. Among her many honors, Richardson was named the 1980's NCAA Player of the Decade. Facing a challenging schedule that included games against No. 20 Tulsa and defending national champion Oklahoma, the Lady Flames posted an 11-46 record, including 4-20 in Big South play. The Lady Flames downed Norfolk State, 5-1, Feb. 15, as Richardson picked up her first career coaching victory. Liberty played its best softball down the stretch, averaging 7.6 runs per game while batting .345 as a team over the final five games of the season. The team picked up its first conference series victory on April 26-27 at Presbyterian College. On April 24, the Lady Flames split a doubleheader with ETSU, serving as the last games played at Liberty Softball Field. Liberty went 206-178 all-time at its home facility, which opened in 1994. The Lady Flames' new softball stadium is slated to be ready for the 2015 season. Liberty, the No. 9 seed, opened the 2014 Big South Softball Championship with an 8-5 win over No. 8 seed Gardner-Webb, keyed by a five-run sixth inning that included a two-out grand slam by Grace Nordan. Kelby Allen hit two homers against Gardner-Webb, giving her a team-best nine home runs on the season. Richardson's squad blazed the basepaths this season, leading the Big South and ranking 24th nationally at present with 92 stolen bases, one shy of the program record of 93, set in 1996. Senior Katie Zavodny stole 32 bases this year, while sophomore Blair Lawrence recorded 20 stolen bases and senior Marybeth Sciolino added 10 steals. Three Lady Flames were named to the 2014 Big South All-Conference Softball Team, in junior Megan Robinson (1st team - 2B), Zavodny (2nd team - OF) and junior Hanna Nichols (Honorable Mention - 1B). It marks Liberty's most all-conference honorees since placing six players on the 2011 Big South All-Conference Softball Team. Robinson was voted to the Big South All-Academic Team for the second straight year, in addition to being voted to the Capital One Academic All-District III Team. She batted .303, while leading Liberty with 10 doubles, a .526 slugging percentage and nine multiple-RBI contests. Zavodny earns her third straight all-conference award, becoming the sixth player in program history to be named a three-time All-Big South player. She hit .349 with team highs of 37 runs, 66 hits, 32 stolen bases and 83 total bases. She finished her career as Liberty's all-time stolen-base leader, and second in Big South history, with 111 career steals. Nichols (.289) receives her first all-league honor, as she ranked third on the team with six doubles, four home runs, 18 RBIs and a .360 on-base percentage. Five seniors (Alyssa DiMartino, Nordan, Sciolino, Sammi Shivock and Zavodny) have graduated. The Lady Flames will welcome a large freshman class, and look forward to the opening of their new stadium in 2015, poised for further success.

Bartow, WV: East Fork Trail
The East Fork of the Greenbrier River cuts straight through 10,000 acres of proposed wilderness, passing through floodplain fields to groves of hemlock and pine to rocky clearings—and in spring, white serviceberry blossoms and wild ramps dot the hardwood slopes. Trace its crystal-clear waters—which offer pools, waterfalls, trout fishing, and crawdad hunting—on this easy 8-mile shuttle overnight. Begin at Island Campground and follow the East Fork Trail #365 on an old railroad grade 0.3 mile to the riverbank. Follow the river for the next 4 miles, watching for the forest's active beavers on the way. Camp here or a mile farther at Abe's Run. Continuing north, the trail climbs away from the river through dense forest before ending at Pig's Ear Road at mile 8.

All copies of the reference are to be destroyed. The superseding Circular, No. 77-04, Inadequate Lock Assemblies, of March 17, 1977, is enclosed for your distribution with the Appendix A to all Group I, II, IV and V licensees within your Region. A sample transmittal letter to each licensee is provided. Norman Haller, Assistant Director for Safeguards Office of Inspection and Enforcement Enclosures: 1. Trans. ltr to Licensees 2. IE Circular 77-04 Inadequate Lock Assemblies . (Transmittal Letter For IE Circular 77-04 To Each Safeguards Group I, II, IV and V Licensee) Addressee: The enclosed IE Circular, 77-04 is forwarded for your information and use. The subjects covered by this Circular should be helpful to you in properly implementing the physical security systems needed for your facility to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73. The illustrated Appendix is provided for the sake of clarity and does not constitute an endorsement of any manufacturer's specific product. No written report to the NRC is required by this Circular. If you have any questions concerning this matter, contact the Director of this NRC Regional Office. Regional Director Enclosure: IE Circular 77-04 Inadequate Lock Assemblies with Appendix A . Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Inspection and Enforcement Washington, D. C. 20555 IE Circular No. 77-04 Date: MAR 17 1977 Page 1 of 3 INADEQUATE LOCK ASSEMBLIES DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUMSTANCES: During recent physical security inspections at nuclear fuel cycle and reactor facilities, it was discovered that the lock assemblies securing some material access areas and vital areas were inadequate, improperly installed, or inoperable for a lack of maintenance. In a number of instances, the deficiencies were cited as items of non-compliance. The specific findings included: (a) Doors secured only with locks having simple spring latches which could be readily depressed with a piece of plastic, a card, knife, or other thin instrument. (b) Doors secured with locks having dead latches which were ineffective due to poor installation or lack of maintenance. The installation tolerances for a dead latch are very critical and their anticipated service life quite limited. (c) Outswinging doors and inswinging double-doors without mullions, which were not equipped with astragals or guard plates to deter forcible attacks upon the latch or bolt. (d) Exterior or exposed lock cylinders which were not equipped with effective collars or cylinder guards to deter forcible attacks upon the cylinders. (e) Doors secured only by lock sets with cylinders mounted within the door knobs, making the doors very vulnerable to forcible attack. (f) Lock sets which did not engage their associated strike plates due to incorrect installation, adjustment, maintenance, or damage. (g) Doors without locks. . IE Circular No. 77-04 Date: MAR 17 1977 Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION: 10 CFR 73.2 (f) (2) requires that openings in building walls be of construction and fastening of sufficient strength so that the integrity of the wall is not lessened by the opening. This requirement extends to vital areas (10 CFR 73.2(h)) and material access areas (10 CFR 73.2(j)). Thus, door locks must be of substantial construction and of such design, installation, and reinforcement that their neutralization or circumvention by common burglary techniques is precluded. Regulatory Guide 5.12, the Federal crime insurance guidelines, recent municipal codes and ordinances, and generally accepted practices within the profession of industrial building design and construction, advise that doors must be secured with a dead bolt. Further, in recognition of widely disseminated and publicized simple burglary techniques which can be accomplished with common tools without skill, the following limiting factors must be considered in determining whether the integrity of a vital area or material access area wall is maintained: (a) The door is secured with a dead bolt with either a one inch lateral throw or multiple-vertical engagements with its strike. (b) Outswinging doors and inswinging double-doors without mullions, are equipped with securely mounted astragals or guard plates. (c) Exterior or exposed cylinders are rim, bored-auxiliary, or mortise lock mounted, and are protected with (1) a cylinder guard or (2) substantial collar which is tapered, extends beyond the face of cylinder, and rotates independently when torque is applied. (d) All lock sets and associated hardware are effectively installed and maintained. Hardware illustrations and standard lock terminology are enclosed as Appendix A. . IE CIRCULAR No. 77-04 Date: MAR 17 1977 Page 3 of 3 POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: The identified generic deficiencies may be eliminated by the comprehensive implementation of one or more of the following solutions, in consonance with the operational and safety considerations of the facility. (a) Institute measures to assure conformance with the four limiting factors cited in the Discussion paragraph, above. (b) Obviate lock inadequacies by barring the door from within with a wooden (min. 2" x 4") or pipe (min. 2" dia.) member extending solidly across both stiles and jambs. (c) Obviate lock and other possible deficiencies by eliminating the doorway and filling the resulting cavity with masonry or construction materials equal to or exceeding the composition of the wall. This information is provided for action you deem appropriate to insure that vital area and material access area doors are secured in a manner which does not lessen the integrity of the walls and other physical barriers.

Day Centres and Care Homes
Computers for Day Centres
Setting up a computer suite with computers for Day Centres and Care Homes can be quite daunting. You may start off thinking all you need is a few computers but then quickly realise that that is only half the story. You may need high contrast keyboards, large trackball mice, height adjustable desks, screen magnification software and host of other products to accommodate your target group.
Adapt-IT can save you time, money and aggravation here. We are one of the few companies in the UK who specialise in setting up computer rooms for people with disabilities and special needs. You just need to tell us the needs of your target group in general terms and your budget and we will design and supply a complete computer room to satisfy those needs, taking a lot of the work out of funding bids.
Our work with Local Authorities, Health Authorities, Colleges and Charities over the last 10 years ensures that our design team will quickly become familiar with the requirements of your particular environment and can give you sound unbiased advice specifically tailored to your needs.
Computers for Care Homes
Making computers available for people in Care Homes is allows them to connect with friends and family – calling grandchildren anywhere in the world via Skype, sending them emails or accessing the internet – all of this is now achievable by virtually anyone provided they have the right sort of computer adaptations.
However computers for elderly users in Care Homes can be challenging both physically and mentally. Elderly users may suffer from visual problems, coordination issues as a result of arthritis or other issues. For computer "newbies" learning all the buttons to press or when to click or double click in the Windows environment can all be very confusing.
Adapt-IT has been instrumental in setting up computer suites and introducing computers for individual residents in many Care Homes throughout the UK and supply a range of products designed specifically for elderly users from large button keyboards with ABC layouts (rather than the standard QWERTY) to software with simplified interfaces to allow easier access to the programs you need – internet, email, letters etc.
In addition, we frequently help Care Homes to put grant applications together to enable them to open computer suites and provide computers for individual residents.

Of man and God like root and sky; the son
Of a Cornish shepherd, Cuthman, the boy with a cart,
The boy we saw trudging the sheep-tracks with his mother
Mile upon mile over five counties; one
Fixed purpose biting his heels and lifting his heart.
We saw him; we saw him with a grass in his mouth, chewing
And traveling. We saw him building at last
A church among whortleberries…
(Christopher Fry)
Today, February 8, we celebrate the feast of Saint Cuthman of Steyning (died, ninth century), English church builder and miracle worker. The life of Saint Cuthman is one of holy legend, recounting his various exploits made possible only through the grace of God. Regardless of the veracity of these legends, what we take from the life of Saint Cuthman is a profound respect and love for his mother, a dedicated service to the Lord, and unwavering faith—all lessons we can apply to our own lives today.
"Men mock and heaven shall weep!" at which a rainstorm flooded their fields and destroyed their crops. It is said that every spring these same fields are flooded.
Father Almighty, you have brought my wanderings to an end; now enable me to begin this work. For who am I, Lord, that I should build a house to your Name? If I rely on myself, it will be of no avail, but it is you who will assist me. You have given me the desire to be a builder; make up for my lack of skill, and bring the work of building this holy house to its completion.
|The stone of Saint Cuthman
" Nothing is wanting to those that fear the Lord."
Saint Cuthman, overcome with awe, asked for the stranger's name.
" I am He," was the answer, "in whose name thou buildest this temple."
|The Church of Saint Andrew,
located on the site of Saint Cuthman's Church

This was our third Bermuda cruise. We like the Bermuda itinerary because unlike other cruises you get to spend days rather than hours in port. That means having more time to get the feel of a place.
This was our fourth cruise on NCL, the second on the Dawn.
My partner has some significant physical disabilities and so the issue of handicap access and assistance was very important to us as we prepared for the cruise.
We arrived at the ship about 1 hour before sailing time and we able to go through the embarkation process very easily. Our cabin was good size, and the handicap-accessible bathroom complete with roll-in shower was a godsend.
Our cabin steward was extremely efficient and accommodating.
Every night we ate in Aqua, the smaller of the two main dining rooms. Every night the menu offered a good selection. The waiter and assistant waiter we had the first night were both excellent, and we tried to be seated in their section every night afterward. My only complaint about Aqua is that when it's full it's very noisy, making it difficult to hold a conversation. For breakfast we would go the breakfast buffet on Deck 8 midship which was very convenient since our cabin was on Deck 8.
The only specialty restaurant meal we had was the Jazz Brunch which was served on the first of the two returning sea days in La Cucina. In addition to a great selection of buffet items there was a choice of entrees from each of the ship's specialty restaurants. The jazz combo was excellent and their music provided a wonderful backdrop.
We selected this cruise partly for price and partly for convenience (we live only 100 miles from Boston), and so we feel that this cruise was a great value.
The only shortcomings I would point to are: 1) Attendants need to do a better job of picking up after passengers on the Pool and Sun Decks. (I noticed a dirty dinner plate next to an unoccupied lounge chair that wasn't picked up for 2-3 hours.), 2) The handicap access to the Venetian (the larger of the 2 main dining rooms) is poorly designed and poorly executed, and so we stayed away from eating there although Venetian is far more attractive and has a much more spacious feel than Aqua. 3) While we like the casualness of NCL's Freestyle Cruising concept I thought the Dawn was a little too hang-loose. I'm OK with dressing casually for dinner, but I think requiring men to at least wear a collared shirt of some kind for dinner is not asking too much.
Roomy with adequate space for getting around with a walker. Good-sized bathroom with well designed handicap-access features. Comfortable bed. A comfortable chair would have been nice.

I started working as an apprentice in a clinical lab in Juarez, Mexico, when I was 14 years old. I had told my mother that I had an interest in medicine and science, and she introduced me to Dr. Ricardo Ortiz Piñeru and his assistant Daniel Chavez Licón. Dr. Ortiz was the former director of the medical school in Juarez, and mom had been his secretary. In fact, it was he who did the urine test to find out that mom was pregnant with me.
When I was 16 and started college, I decided to get a degree in laboratory medicine so I could build on the training I received at Dr. Ortiz's lab. Daniel taught me a lot, and I took all that training with me. By the time I finished college, I got a great job up in Pennsylvania. Their knowledge and wisdom still travels with me today.
It's been over 20 years since I felt the overwhelming nervousness of drawing blood, of preparing the lab analyzes, and of doing laboratory analyses that impacted people's lives. Since then, I'd like to think that I've grown a little bit and become someone of whom Dr. Ortiz would be proud if he were still alive. And I'd like to think that I've impacted people's lives through my work.
All of this has come to an end today. It was completely by choice and because opportunities have appeared to better prepare me as a practicing epidemiologist. The jobs that I had as a lab tech on the weekends or once in a while have ended. I am no longer a "lab boy."
It's okay. All things change. I now have to make sure that the things I learned from the lab come with me on my journeys and in my professional experiences. I must continue to give life to the memory of those I've lost who have mentored me as a lab tech and as a person.
It's bittersweet, but all good things must come to an end.

The tests will identify those who may have the disease, the second largest cause of cancer death in the UK.
By 2009, everyone aged 60-69 will be asked to self-test every two years.
The government hopes the privacy and dignity of the home testing kits will overcome people's natural reluctance to talk about symptoms.
People taking part in the scheme will send stool samples to a laboratory, where they will be analysed for the presence of blood.
The programme, promised in the 2000 NHS Plan and which will cost £37.5m in its first two years, is to be phased in from April 2006.
Around 25% of England, or 300,000 people, will be covered in the first year of the programme.
By 2009, the aim is for two million to receive the kits annually.
Five centres, which will include testing laboratories, are to be set up around the UK to analyse the kits.
Strategic Health Authorities are being invited to bid to provide a first wave of local screening centres.
'Positive step'
Bowel cancer kills 50 people a day in the UK. Lung cancer is the only form of the disease which kills more people.
Ministers believe a screening programme could cut the death rate by 15%.
Launching the programme, health minister Rosie Winterton said: "Although bowel cancer affects more than one in 20 people in their lifetime, of those who get the disease 90% survive if it is caught early.
"Because of the nature of the disease, people can feel uncomfortable talking about it, let alone coping with the symptoms.
"That is why the privacy and dignity that the home testing kits afford will help us better tackle the disease."
Jerry McMahon, of Kingsbury in Middlesex, was called in for screening under a pilot scheme at Northwick Park Hospital.
Mr Mahon, now 62, had no symptoms to suggest anything was wrong.
But a colonoscopy found two polyps in his colon, one of which was found to be cancerous.
He said: "The test was a life-saver. I've nothing but praise for the doctors at Northwick Park. I feel better now than I did at 25."
'I survived'
Hilary Whittaker, chief executive of the national charity Beating Bowel Cancer, said: "We believe that the screening programme will be a positive step in reducing the number of deaths from this cancer."
Neil Brookes, chief executive of Colon Cancer Concern, said: "At a stroke, the screening programme will raise the profile of the disease and encourage people to be much more active in seeking to prevent it."
TV presenter Lynn Faulds-Wood, of Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign and chairman of the European Cancer Patient Coalition, said: "I survived advanced bowel cancer and I've been investigating how to help save lives from bowel cancer for years. Screening, in my opinion, is the best way."
Professor Elwyn Elias, president of the British Society of Gastroenterology, welcomed the programme, but said the NHS would have to be able to cope with the people flagged up as needing further checks.
"If this is going to go national, which is obviously the aim, it will need a lot of investment and doctors will need a lot of training."

My favorite movie is "We Were Soldiers",
the main actor is Mel Gibson,
This film is about the war in vietnam,
I love this film because it is a true story
but also because it's an action movie
other good movie that I know his:
It speaks of a Japanese sniper team sniper
Following an intervention gone bad, a shooter is sent to prison for killing the hostage.
After his release from prison he has still does not understood why these colleagues did not support him and is seeking to have information.
It is the story of a soldier who lost his partner in a land Enemy territory.
After that the state is trying to find him guilty of the murder of a famous person.
For it is the only his job, shooting and killing his target from a long distance.
MY favorite music are those of the 80
because the music created at that time the artists had a sense of rythm rhythm individual and has influenced many artists of our time today
