Heart patients in the UK have become the first in the world to use a new mobile station to assess their pacemakers without the need for a nurse, doctor or visit to hospital.
The hi-tech CareLink Express, has been launched at the Bitterne Park Medical Centre in Southampton, Hampshire, as part of a pilot study, enabling people fitted with the devices to have instant check-ups at times that suit them.
Its introduction, part of University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust's remote monitoring programme, is designed to provide care closer to home, cut waiting times and missed appointments and free up staff to treat patients in hospital.
Pacemakers are small electronic devices implanted in the chest to help regulate patients' heartbeats and regular monitoring allows experts to examine any changes in heart rhythm and intervene before patients become unwell or in need of hospital admission.
Patients with pacemakers routinely visit hospital for follow-up appointments once or twice a year, during which staff can spend about 20 minutes retrieving data during one-to-one consultations.
The mobile station means they do not need to attend fixed appointments - they head straight to the box, take a seat, follow the on-screen instructions and hold a monitor to their pacemaker for a few minutes.
Hospital staff are then able to access the data remotely through a secure server using a monitoring system known as CareLink and download it for review.
The innovation, which has been shortlisted for a Health Service Journal value in healthcare award, follows the introduction of the first walk-in pacemaker assessment booth at Southampton General Hospital in 2011.
Professor John Morgan, a consultant cardiologist and remote monitoring lead, said: "We are constantly looking at ways we can free up patients who don't need to see medical staff from having to attend clinics while focusing staff time on the minority of patients who actually need to see a doctor.
"It's the sort of innovation we need to see more of in the health service to improve the use of NHS resources."

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- From earnest beginnings, there was something different.
No longer was Barry wanting to linger around. Only a brief shower halted things. Otherwise, the Buccaneers men's tennis team meant business right from the start.
No. 4 Barry beat No. 6 Rollins, 8-1, Sunday at Buccaneer Tennis Center. It was the Bucs' second straight league win as they improved to 2-0 overall and 2-0 in the Sunshine State Conference.
"In our No. 1 and 6 singles matches, we jumped on them right away and didn't let them get into a rhythm," Barry assistant coach Thomas Hipp said. "Our doubles were reacting well, and not allowing them to return."
The Buccaneers swept the three doubles matches to take a comfortable lead in the match. Barry's No. 2-ranked pairs team of Marco Mokrzycki and Fabian Groetsch defeated Will Kwok and Robin Marchione, 8-3, at No. 1 doubles. Romain Costamagna and Ollie Lemaitre beat Jason Alabaster and Jacobo Herrero, 8-2, at No. 2 pairs. Max Wimmer and Renato Lombardi took care of Adrian Di Felice and Cooper Maxwell, 8-1.
"Fabian is a great doubles player, and we connect every single team really good," Mokrzycki said. "We had great confidence on the court. We were able to capitalize on our break points so we won fairly easy."
Mokrzycki, ranked No. 7 in the country in singles, beat a tested Kwok at No. 1 singles, 6-3, 7-5 for the Buccaneers' clinching fifth point. Groetsch, ranked 16th nationally, outlasted No. 36 Malte Christesen, 7-5, 6-4, at No. 2 singles. Wimmer beat Di Felice, 7-6 (7-4), 6-1 at No. 4 singles.
Costamagna beat Herrero, 6-1, 1-6, 6-0 at No. 5 singles. Lemaitre beat Alabaster, 6-2, 7-6 (7-1) at No 6. Marchione outdueled Lombardi in the longest match of the day, 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 13-11 at No. 3 singles.
In a pair of exhibition matches, Barry's Leo Vivas rolled to a 6-2, 6-3 win over Maxwell, and Eduardo Alfonzo defeated Sebastian Hafner, 6-2, 7-5.
"They're never easy to play," Mokrzycki said. "Their guys are always pumped to play us, and we're super happy that we could beat them."

Higher Low in Place for Gold Stocks as 2013 Beckons
After three months and a pullback of 20%, gold stocks are pushing higher once again and have a chance at a tremendous 2013.
There are two extremely important levels for 2013. The first is GDX 48 or HUI (INDEXNYSEGIS:HUI) 460. The chart below shows $48 as the most important near-term pivot point. GDX has already made a series of higher lows but a weekly close above $48 would add stronger momentum and confirmation to the uptrend. Also note the positive divergences in the GDX vs. gold ratio and the RSI indicator.
Click to enlarge
The weekly chart of GDX clearly illustrates our second important pivot point for 2013. Assuming GDX closes above $48, the next important resistance is $55, the September high. Moreover, note that $55 was an extremely important level dating back to the end of 2007. It is obvious that $55 is far more important than the highs near the mid $60s. If GDX closes above $55, then every chartist will be ready to jump on the bullish bandwagon. (Note that they have not jumped on yet. They have no clue now but will awaken after GDX is up another 20%.)
Click to enlarge
It's also important to note the prognosis of the weekly RSI. After surging to 65, the RSI corrected to 40 but it's curling up once again. A reading of 40 at a bottom (check) is typical of a bullish trend. Keep an eye on the weekly RSI as a move above 70 would be the first such move in six years! This market is slowly positioning for a big move in 2013 and 2014.
My firm has not been this bullish since May and August. The technicals look great and sentiment remains very favorable for longs. Meanwhile, valuations continue to be very favorable. As we've discussed in the past months, the miners are trading near historical lows in terms of earnings, cash flow, and sales. A breakout in gold past $1,900 would certainly raise the low valuations and at a time when stronger metals prices would thereby raise earnings. It is a tremendous one-two punch that could launch this sector in 2013.
The key for traders and investors is several-fold. First, you always need to plan with each trade and every investment. Decide how much you want to risk and how you will risk it. Second, in this sector you must employ effective market timing and proper stock selection. In the past year many stock pickers got killed because they couldn't pick the right stocks and they didn't cut their losses. If 2013 is a return to the bull for gold stocks, which I believe it is, then its time to do your research if you want to beat the sector.

Staten Island, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today called on Governor Charlie Crist to sign the newly passed bill that allow women to view ultrasound images of their unborn babies prior to abortions.
"It is always wrong to kill a child. And so many who would permit this so-called choice don't even want women to know what they are choosing," said Fr. Pavone. "The abortion lobby thinks women either don't deserve or can't handle the truth. I urge Governor Crist to stand for women and stand for the children whose fates will depend on his signing this bill."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

text: Adventure: HowTo HowTo Posted 05-09-2013 Spring Camping Tips & Necessities When packing, remember spring can deliver extreme warm, cold, and wet weather—and without much warning. Bring a tent and sleeping bag that are rated for temperatures several degrees below the kind of weather you're anticipating, to be safe. Versatile clothing: When packing, remember spring can deliver extreme warm, cold, and wet weather—and without much warning. Be sure to bring clothing for each condition and store clothing somewhere safe from precipitation. Shelter: Bring a tent and sleeping bag that are rated for temperatures several degrees below the kind of weather you're anticipating, to be safe.Also store these in a watertight case or container. And while this goes for any camping trip, be extra sure to bring along a tarp in case of spring precipitation. You might also be wise to bring a tent heater. Food and water: Store food in airtight, watertight containers. The Pelican ProGear Elite Coolers are ideal for storing food while camping and have been tested to ensure that items will stay cold for days on end. If you're planning to cook, bring a stove that will work, as many alcohol and canister varieties are prone to failure in cold weather. First aid kit and safety: According to the American Red Cross, all first aid kits should include well-labeled personal medication, bandages, aspirin, hydrocortisone, tweezers, and a first aid instruction booklet, among other items. It is also a good idea to bring a whistle along in case you become stranded. Unlike a voice, a whistle never becomes strained or hoarse. Keep a safety radio nearby to stay updated on looming severe weather. The Etón FRX3 is a self-powered emergency radio and flashlight combo that can even charge a cell phone. Flashlight: Of course, you'll need flashlights for an early spring camping adventure. Make sure you have a minimum of one lighting source per camper. Map: A trail map is always a good idea both in case of emergency and for general reference as you explore the nature around you. Keep these dry in watertight cases as well!

Price of crude oil rose over $104 because of the more optimistic U.S. economy, which grew 1.7% in the second quarter, beating estimates placed around 1%. "Energy prices have been supported in recent weeks by renewed optimism about global demand and a revival of concerns about the geopolitical situation in the Middle East," said Jessica Hinds of Capital Economics. "However, we do not expect this to last."
Weak demand plagued the economy in July with a drop in consumer confidence in addition to a slide in Chinese manufacturing which slipped to an 11-month low last week. China is the second-largest oil consumer in the world, and analysts predict that prices will be further affected by the country's poor performance.
A surprise came from the Energy Information Administration, which reported an increase of 400,000 barrels in crude oil supplies for last week, a growth spurt of 0.1% that brings the total count to 364.6 million barrels. This increase came out of the blue as analysts were predicting as much as a 3 million-barrel decline in the stockpiles based on the 30 million barrel decrease that occurred over the past four weeks. Despite this expansion of supply, Bank of America Merrill Lynch reported that the rising production in the U.S. and deteriorating growth in emerging markets will stifle the recent growth in oil prices. However, oil disputes in countries like Iraq, Libya and Iran will help keep oil prices over $100, and the activity in those regions should counteract not only the lower prices from increased U.S. shale oil supply but also the fears about sub-par Chinese demand.
With continuing uncertainty in economies around the world, it is likely that crude will remain range bound for the near term future. So how can a trader capitalize on a market that is trading within a range? We can set up a strategy that will allow a trader to collect premium in a market that is range bound. This strategy is known as an iron condor.
Trade: Selling the CL Oct 113.5-114.5 Call Spread and the 101.5-100.5 Put Spread for $0.37 Credit.
Risk: $630 per 1 lot
Reward: $370 per 1 lot
Breakeven: $113.87 and $101.13
This trade is established for a net credit and profits in a very wide range. If a trader believes that the price of crude oil futures will be within this range at October expiration this trade sets up well.

PDI excels in both primary care and multi-specialty billing. Specialties served include:
Our main office is located in Reisterstown, Md., on the northwest side of Baltimore, where we have more than 16,000 square feet of space specifically designed to support our cutting-edge billing services and allow for our future growth.

The runoff between incumbent Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss and Democratic contender Jim Martin takes place this Tuesday. Barack Obama has avoided appearing in Georgia on behalf of Martin. Turnout is always a challenge in a runoff election. Obama's appearance would obviously lend significant assistance to the contender. Why has he avoided Georgia?
It's a puzzling question. The sagacious Michael Barone speculates that Obama does not yet want to risk his political capital and suggests that Democrats are ambivalent about the prospect of achieving a filibuster-proof Senate majority:
Bill Clinton's campaigning for incumbent Wyche Fowler in the 1992 runoff didn't help Clinton's prestige but rather signaled something in the way of political weakness, because Republican challenger Paul Coverdell won. I'm guessing that Obama wants to avoid a repeat of this outcome. And I'm guessing, with some basis, that at least some incumbent Democratic senators would rather not have 59 Democratic colleagues, lest they be put on the record for imposing policies like the abolition of secret ballots in union recognition elections.
Writing on the Chambliss-Martin race for the only Atlanta-area paper with a conservative editorial line, Oglethorpe University Professor Joseph Knippenberg speculates that Obama may calculate that his strength as president would be enhanced if Senate Democrats are short of a filibuster-proof majority:
Stated simply, the more votes Democrats have in the Senate, the more powerful the congressional party is and the less leverage the president has to move them in directions that he wants. Rather than lead his party, President Obama may have to follow congressional majorities intent on agenda items that may not be at the top of his to-do list or on policies that do not jibe with the post-partisan posture he has been striking.
If, on the other hand, Harry Reid needs to find one or two votes to head off a threatened Republican filibuster, the president is in the driver's seat. He can rise above party and work across the aisle to woo and win a couple of Republicans – Maine Senators Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe come to mind. When, moreover, President Obama finds that he has to say "no" to the demands of congressional Democrats, it would not be in his own name, but rather on account of the need to pry loose a few votes from the other side. What better way to be "above party" without losing the confidence of his fellow partisans? What better way to be in a position to call the shots?
I've almost convinced myself that President-elect Obama shouldn't campaign on behalf of Jim Martin, if he knows what's good for himself and his administration. Indeed, if he could, he should film a commercial for Saxby Chambliss, the last barrier between him and an agenda driven by the demands of congressional Democrats.
Knippenberg concludes on a magnanimous note: "[T]empted as I might be to vote for Jim Martin to bring out the worst in the Democratic Party, I'm going to support my new president and put country above party by marking my ballot for Saxby Chambliss."
UPDATE: Today's Washington Times reports that "Obama lends his voice to Senate runoff."

Corsair Vengeance M60 and K60 Review
Corsair is a popular company when it comes to power supplies, RAM, and cases, but a recent exploration to the "dark side" has lead Corsair to their Vengeance product releases. The series contains a couple keyboards, a couple mice, and currently three headsets to choose from in their lineup. So if you've always been a fan of corsair products, it's time to literally get your hands on some serious gaming gear.
Combining superior responsiveness, precise accuracy, and reliable controls, the Corsair Vengeance series claims to allow you to perform at you highest level. The M60 is an enthusiast grade 5700 DPI laser sensor mouse designed to change the way we game. Being optimized for first person shooters, the ergonomic design has a dedicated sniper button to temporarily reduce your DPI settings for more of an accurate lock on those headshots. With a total of 8 programmable buttons you can demolish all your friends all night long.
The Vengeance K60 is yet another mechanical keyboard designed for performance gaming. With Cherry MX Red key switches (most of you are starting to know the different switch types) you can imagine the sensitivity and low operating force everyone loves. The response rate is ultra-fast and responds in a predictable linear pattern unlike other types of keys on the market. The K60 has swappable WASD and 1-6 keys designed with a specific contour to the gaming position. The red gaming keys have a different texture designed to reduce slip so you can focus on gaming but still allow you to swap back to the "normal" keys for everyday general use.
So today we'll take a look at the Vengeance 60 Series from Corsair. Both the M60 and K60 will be in my hands for gaming and everyday use. Do they hold up to what Corsair claims? Is your next paycheck going towards one of these or both? You'll have to do some reading to uncover the answer…
Closer Look:
The M60 from Corsair came in a nice little cardboard box just like any other package surprise that shows up on my doorstep. Inside I found a lovely little plastic shell package containing the mouse. My favorite type of packaging besides the really strange boxes is the type that allows me to see the full product right away.
The cardboard card inside the box is detailed with a faded red to black behind the mouse with "VENGEANCE M60" printed to the left and right of the mouse. It says on the front that it's designed for performance gaming in two languages: English and French. On the back of the package it continues with these two languages to point out seven solid features as well as some technical specifications. It talks about the 5700 DPI and the side-mounted sniper button, two of the major features of this mouse – the rest can be found on the specs and features page.
After taking away the plastic, this picture of the mouse sitting in place almost looks fake, as if it wasn't there. I assure you it's there; the lighting often plays tricks with flat black products such as this one. Pulling apart the little cardboard insert reveals a little quick start guide and a small booklet about the warranty information (since they give you 2 years for something to go wrong – although since I've been holding it, I'm already fairly certain I won't be needing the warranty). The cable comes wrapped up with a nice Velcro strap that stays on the cable even when undone – looks like this will be a nice mouse to take on-the-go, to LAN parties, and wherever you may game.
The K60 showed up on my doorstep in a nicely packed box as well. The packaging again plays with the red fade-to-black color scheme that the M60 follows. "VENGEANCE" is in huge yellow letters on the front of the box with a nice picture of the keyboard behind it. The top right corner lets you know you have the K60 from the series, and a little plastic window on the left even gives you a little peek inside.
Like with the M60, we again see the English and French languages on the box. The back of the box shows another angle of the keyboard with the wrist rest attached. Six key features are listed next to a quick description of the Vengeance series itself. It brags about Cherry MX Reds, contoured and textured WASD keys, anti-ghosting, the cushioned wrist rest, and aluminum chassis. The edges of the box show some of the features closer up and provide a quick list of specifications. The box even reminds you that you have a 2 year warranty with this product in case something goes wrong down the road.
Tired of looking at the pretty box and product pictures, I wanted to take the keyboard out and get a good look at it already. It comes in a recycled, molded, encasement when you pull it out of the outer box. The package is shaped to hold the components perfectly and appears to protect the product well. It looks like an environmentally friendly attempt despite the large plastic cover. The red contoured WASD keys are on display and just asking to be put on the keyboard right away.
Flipping the package over you can really see the contours designed to hold the specific package contents. The wrist rest, bundled cable, quick install guide, and warranty booklet are all neatly hidden within their own recesses. Pulled away from this nifty packaging the keyboard looks pretty nice and I'm looking forward to using it already. The cables come neatly bundled with the Velcro wrap just like the M60; it looks like Corsair was really using thinking caps when they put it all together.
The 60 series is quite appealing to the eye, as both the M60 and the K60 are pretty sexy out of the box. I'm ready to use them but I'm guessing you'd like a little more up close and personal look at the two – not just some box shots. Visit the next few pages to get a good look and see how each of these peripherals perform.

usually i use SpyBot or Spy Sweeper. But i got a nasty bug neither of them would remove. The pesky bug is called SearchAssistant and it's a toolbar that gets stuck in IE.

Best ways to redeem rewards points over the holidays
It's challenging to budget during the holidays, what with shopping, entertaining and family travel on the agenda. No wonder many of us look to our reward points for a little help.
Gifts are top priority for most people this time of year. According to Capital One's quarterly Rewards Barometer survey, 59 percent of holiday budgets go for gifts, followed by meals (20 percent). Gift cards are among the most popular redemption options, along with cash and domestic airline tickets. Travel accounts for only 11 percent of the average holiday budget, but if you have a card that earns travel rewards, using them now is a great way to save some cash for gifts.
So, how do you get the best return on your holiday points?
Take advantage of Cyber Monday. About 43 percent of rewards cardholders will skip the trip to the store on Black Friday this year, the survey showed. Thirty-two percent plan to shop online instead, a third more than last year. Many retailers offer special discounts on Cyber Monday, which is Dec. 2 this year.
If you're one of those planning to skip the long lines at crack of dawn, check out CyberMonday.com. It has a listing of 800 online retailers and the limited-time deals they're offering. You can use that information to gauge whether it's a better deal to pay outright for an item or use rewards to purchase it, and if it's the latter, how many points represent a fair exchange.
Register for revolving categories. Rewards cards that offer 5 percent discounts for revolving categories are aimed at holiday spending right now, mainly retail purchases. Now through Dec. 31, Discover Cashback is offering a 5 percent bonus in online shopping -- apparel, electronics, toys, gifts -- while Chase Freedom cardholders can earn 5 percent cash back on up to $1,500 spent at Amazon.com (including on Amazon Prime memberships) and department stores such as JC Penney, Macy's and Sears. Shop through the Ultimate Rewards portal with your Chase Freedom card and you'll get an extra 5 percent back, for a potential total of 10 percent cash back.
Double-dip with gift cards. Discounted gift cards are a great way to give someone more spending power than you're paying for. American Express and Capital One are offering holiday deals of 10 percent to 20 percent off on select gift cards purchased through their rewards websites, and Discover promises to increase "or even double" your cash back rewards with gift cards from more than 150 partners, including retailers, gas stations and restaurants. Chase Freedom is also offering deals on gift cards through the end of the year.
If you want to maximize return on your gift card investment, consider buying discounted gift cards and then using them to buy gifts. For example, 2,250 Ultimate Rewards points would normally be worth $22.50 in cash, but if you use them instead to get a $25 Kohl's gift card, you're getting a 10 percent savings. If you then use that gift card to buy merchandise on a 10 percent-off sale, you've shaved 20 percent off your purchase price.
Shop through a rewards portal. The easiest way to get an extra payoff is to remember to start your online shopping at the portal of your rewards program -- the site often referred to as "the mall." Shopping through a rewards portal may not save you money during the holidays, but you can bank some rewards for later, when you're really tapped out.
When customers shop online and not through the [credit card rewards] mall, they're effectively missing out on their incremental earn.
President, Affluent and High Net Worth, Chase
The biggest missed opportunity by cardholders, says Jennifer Roberts, president of affluent and high net worth business at Chase, is buying directly from online retailers instead of going through the Ultimate Rewards portal. "When customers shop online and not through the mall, they're effectively missing out on their incremental earn," says Roberts. "They may be shopping some of the merchants we offer and we can see those transactions come through, but we don't see them coming through our mall. So, a lot of times they're missing out on up to 10x incremental earn in terms of points."
Use a third-party tracker. If you have points and miles spread out over several programs, you can compare the payoff for a particular purchase with a site such as evreward. Type in the e-commerce site you're about to buy from and it will show you which rewards programs are offering bonus points for that retailer. Evreward tracks more than 40,000 rewards and coupons for more than 10,000 online retailers and services, and allows you to compare deals at a glance.
Book holiday travel through a rewards portal. If you are planning to travel during the holidays, travel rewards often offer the best bang for your point. For example, if you transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to your United Mileage Plus account, you could get a round-trip United flight from New York LaGuardia to Los Angeles for 50,000 points (departing Dec. 20 and returning on the 28th). That same flight costs nearly $800 if you buy it with cash, making the travel reward a much better deal than if you used those 50,000 points on, say, the $500 TV being offered through Ultimate Rewards.
If you focus on one card, you're able to build up a larger pool of rewards that you can then you can use for bigger purchases, bigger rewards redemptions.
|-- Amy Lenander
Capital One vice president, rewards programs
The same principle holds true for other programs such as American Express Membership Rewards.
Dig up forgotten points. Representatives from both American Express and Capital One say the most common mistake cardholders make with rewards is not redeeming them. "Customers are most likely to remember to use the rewards on the card they use the most," says Amy Lenander, vice president of rewards programs at Capital One. "But they probably have rewards sitting around in places they don't remember that they can get some utility from at this time of year -- either to buy gifts or to supplement some of the travel they're doing."
Keep it simple. Life can get crazy this time of year and some consumers prefer to avoid the hassle of juggling multiple reward programs. If this describes you, it might make sense to pick one card and focus your efforts. "I think it's important for customers to understand which of their cards gives them the most value all the time," says Lenander. "If you focus on one card, you're able to build up a larger pool of rewards that you can then you can use for bigger purchases, bigger rewards redemptions."
If you opt for simplicity, make sure you have a card that offers rich rewards on the things you're most likely to spend money on, and lots of flexibility to use them when and how you want to. Avoid rewards that expire or come with blackout dates.
Give to charity. While most of us focus our spending on one main card, we often leave points stagnating in less-used loyalty programs. What to do with the about-to-expire 4,000 miles on that airline you rarely fly? If giving back is one of your priorities this time of year, you can always donate those points to charity. Most major card issuers and loyalty programs make that fairly easy to do, with a minimum donation of 1,000 miles.

Adventurous travelers are always looking for the next thrill. Several years ago it was ziplining. Then everybody seemed to be trying stand-up paddleboarding. The next must-do activity for thrill seekers could well be flyboarding, a sport that captured public attention when celebrated actor Leonardo DiCaprio soared above the water on a flyboard off his yacht in the Mediterranean.
The all-inclusive all-suites Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit is giving guests an opportunity to experience flyboarding through a Flyboard Experience package. Offered through operator Vallarta Adventures, the package is available at reduced rates through April 26.
"We always strive to be cutting edge, to be the first out there with new activities, experiences and facilities," said Juan Vela, vice president of Velas Resorts. The resort company researched what was trending in consumer interest for water sports and discovered flyboarding, Vela reported.
"Traveler reaction has been wonderful," Vela said. "We're even getting repeats, which is the ultimate praise."
What It's All About
Flyboarding bears some similarity to taking off above the waves with a jet pack, although a flyboard is more like a supercharged wakeboard that propels the rider over the water and up in the air.
The rider stands on a board connected to a long hose that's attached to a boat. Pressurized water flows through the hose to the rider's boots, providing thrust that can lift the rider up to 50 feet in the air. Nozzles under the rider's feet provide most of the propulsion and handheld nozzles help riders keep their balance, much like ski poles help a skier maneuver. The flyboard is buoyant and riders who tire during the experience can land on the water and catch a breather between rides.
The Flyboard Experience package offered by Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit includes one flyboard tour per adult per stay and transportation to and from the tour at 20 percent off the regular rate for adults and 50 percent off the rate for children ages five to 16. Package rates start at $339 per adult, per night, based on double occupancy and a three-night minimum stay.
After April 26, travelers visiting the Riviera Nayarit region can experience flyboarding by booking a tour through Vallarta Adventures.

The defender, who has since become co-manager at German side Bayer Leverkusen, made 464 appearances for the Reds after joining from Dutch club Willem II in 1999.
Hyypia had a highly successful spell at Anfield, winning a host of European and domestic honours, before departing the club in 2009 for a new challenge in a player-coach role at Leverkusen.
"The day I signed my contract with Liverpool, that's one day I will never forget because Liverpool was my favourite team when I was younger and it was a dream come true," he told the BBC.
"I was there a long time and I had to leave friends there - it was a bit emotional.
"Now I think of my Liverpool career with joy, especially the fans - I always had a good relationship with Liverpool fans. I guess they saw I always tried my best on the pitch.
|Liverpool are 20/1 with Bet365 to finish in the Premier League top four
Hyypia retired from the game in 2011, but in May 2012 was handed the reins at Leverkusen alongside Sascha Lewandowski after a successful caretaker spell.
The pair have since guided the club to third place in the Bundesliga behind current leaders Bayern Munich and defending champions Borussia Dortmund, but Hyypia has admitted to finding management more difficult.
"As a player it's quite easy - this job is much more difficult," he added. "It's quite funny being on the other side now to see how much work you have to do with the team, outside of the team, and all the planning for the season, for pre-season, and for every training session.
"As a player you show up half an hour before training and somebody tells you what to do. Then you go to the shower and go home."
Hyypia played under Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez at Liverpool and revealed that it was the latter who taught him most as a coach.
"I haven't had a lot of managers and coaches in my career but from every one I tried to take the positive things," he said. "The negative things, I don't want to bring them into my coaching.
"If we are talking about football tactically, maybe I learned the most from Benitez. Tactically he was good and maybe I'd say I've learned the most from him."

Some people say when you play a team sport you become a family, and family is just one of the many words that can be used to describe the Mancos boys varsity team. No matter what the problem, the team could rely on one another to be there no matter what. This trait showed Friday night and Saturday as the Mancos Bluejays took on the visiting Norwood Mavericks and the Ridgway Demons. From the beginning Mancos struggled to keep up with the intensity of the Mavericks and the Demons, but the Bluejays stayed right in the game with their drive to win.
The Bluejays were neck and neck with the Mavericks from the beginning and fought to keep the lead when they had it. On Saturday the boys played a fast paced game while Coach Yake subbed his players in and out to get an equal amount of playing time throughout the team. With anticipation on how the boys would play after a turmoil-filled week, the crowd watched in awe as the boys played more as a team than we had seen in weeks. However, on Saturday, there was no doubt that the Blue jays came to win. The boys were neck and neck with the Demons for the first two and a half quarters. During the end of the 3rd and the start of the 4th quarter the Blue Jays pulled away for a solid win.
From the point of view of a member of the Mancos community, I find it important to go to sporting events and support the kids that go out for that sport. I believe that that is the only way the kids will get through what they are going through and succeed - by the support from the community at their games cheering them on, no matter if the child is on C, JV, or even the Varsity team. Something that affects one person will affect the whole team and their performance and that's why it is important for the kids to stick together and be able to talk to one another and their coaches. Coach Yake will pull these boys together once again and have them playing as a team, no matter if they win or lose.
Our community is a small enough one where everyone knows each others business so why not take advantage of that and use that to tell everyone to come to the games, cheer on the Mancos Bluejays and become that tightknit community we once were.

What difference does his attire make? Plenty of presidents have dressed up and messed our country up in style. Kudos to them. He shouldn't be criticized for going for that business casual look from time to time. I don't know about the presidency (at this point in time), but I do know that Obama has the democratic party down pack. Anyone who says other wise is in denial.
... looks likes those skinny hyperactive kids in elementary school that run around and stumble on words when reading too fast.
[...] And if the high didn't solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world's ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and bull and cheap moralism. [...]
Obama is a black whom many whites find reassuring, with his Harvard pedigree and law degree rounding out his half-European ancestry. If you take this in almost anthropological terms, there's a sense in which whites are more comfortable with blacks who they believe reaffirm them. Other whites apparently view Obama not so much as a black trailblazer but as a multicultural figure, with his racially-mixed parentage and childhood spent in Hawaii and Indonesia.
He doesn't have the composure, doesn't project the manly image needed -- he looks likes those skinny hyperactive kids in elementary school that run around and stumble on words when reading too fast.
Quote from: radar on September 27, 2006, 03:39:43 AMHe left Chicago for three years to study law at Harvard University, where he was elected the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. He graduated magna cum laude.At Punahou (high school) obama tried drugs and let his grades slip in his final years of high school. Teachers and fellow students at Punahou say that Obama wasn't a straight-A student, but they had high expectations for him. One of his teachers, Kusunoki, who has taught at Punahou for 33 years, adds that "[he] was very gifted, and I knew he'd do great things. But this well? On this stage? I never expected that."

"There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs. It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."
"To admit our doubt and confusion to whites, to open up our psyches to general examination by those who had caused so much of the damage in the first place, seemed ludicrous, itself an expression of self-hatred"
"Even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."

Drawing on Obama's luncheon speech on the budget to (his supporters at) the AP this week, the RNC has posted the video below comparing this year's model with last year's. Hmmm. Same as it ever was — as the RNC has previously demonstrated for Obama's 2011 and 2012 State of the Union addresses.
The RNC calls the ad "Same tired rhetoric." Tired rhetoric is no crime. What can we learn from it? The RNC doesn't say. I have a few thoughts, as I'm sure readers do as well.
There is no premium on originality in political rhetoric, but Obama is testing the limits. He is extending the concept of recycling into previously uncharted territory. Unlike traditional waste recycling, however, Obama's rhetorical recycling actually saves energy! He's saving the energy of his speechwriters.
In order to soar, words must have the force of truth. Obama left the area some time ago.
There is no contrast between Obama 2011 and Obama 2012. He's been in formal campaign mode since August 2011, and informally well before that. There is a contrast to be drawn — the contrast between Obama as a candidate for election in 2008 and as a candidate for reelection in 2012.
The contrast is stark. In 2008 Obama ran as a redeemer come to save the time. In 2012 Obama is in old hard left class warrior.
Does Obama ever express a thought using words in a new form? It seems that political cliches are the essential medium of his expression. His speeches are like New York Times editorials. They ought to be accompanied by a warning: Reading them can kill brain cells.
Is this really the somewhat interesting guy who wrote Dreams From My Father I doubt it. I don't say Bill Ayers necessarily wrote the book, but it couldn't have been Obama. He has yet to formulate a political thought in an original way.
Conservatives had Obama's number last time, but a lot of voters chose to ignore the evidence and hope he was who he pretended to be. As Samuel Johnson said of remarriage, it was the triumph of hope over experience.
This time around, pretty much everyone has Obama's number. He isn't even trying to conceal it or present it as something other than what it is. That's progress, isn't it?
If Obama is reelected, we will hear a lot more of this. But to what effect? Republican forces in the Senate will be enhanced and probably only modestly diminished in the House. What then? If he is reelected, it will be a long, long four years.
Well, let's hear it from the Talking Heads. Key question: "You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?"

It is possible that the main title of the report Trisomy X is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Trisomy X is a disorder that affects females and is characterized by the presence of an additional X chromosome. Normally, females have two X chromosomes; however, females with trisomy X carry three X chromosomes in the nuclei of body cells. There are specific physical features (phenotype) associated with this chromosomal disorder. Common symptoms that can potentially occur include language-based learning disabilities, developmental dyspraxia, tall stature, low muscle tone (hypotonia), and abnormal bending or curving of the pinkies toward the ring fingers (clinodactyly). Trisomy X occurs randomly as a result from errors during the division of reproductive cells in one of the parents. This disorder occurs in one in 900 to 1,000 live births.

STEM Model Creator
- 1 About
- 2 Instructions
- 2.1 Launch the STEM Model Generator Wizard
- 2.2 Configure the Model Package
- 2.3 Add/Edit a Computational Model
- 2.4 Run the Code Generator
- 2.5 Work with your Generated Computational Models
The STEM Model Generator was released in STEM V1.4.1 as a development environment tool to assist in the creation of new models by developers.
Now, as part of STEM 2.0.0 Milestone 1, we have integrated the Model Generator into the STEM application itself to beta test automated creation of new models !!
The model creator supports users who want to create a new disease or population model in STEM rather than use an existing model. Setting up the basic structure for a new model can be challenging. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for using the STEM Model Generator to design and generate the structure of a new STEM computational (disease/population) model project. Using a simple menu driven interface a user can define a new model (disease or population model) using terminology familiar to any subject matter expert. The model creator will then auto-generate the eclipse plugin and java code defining the model and hot inject it into the user's run time instance of STEM. In the future we plan to make these instructions (and the creation process) even simpler with an improved Graphical User Interface.
The development of the Model Generator tool was sponsored in part by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR). Additional special thanks to Alex Falenski from BfR for assistance creating and editing this document.
- Download and install STEM V2.0.0 Milestone 1 or later [1].
- No other installation is required. The model creator is now a part of STEM itself as of V2.0.0 Milestone 1.
Launch the STEM Model Generator Wizard
(this page is still under construction - but the instructions should work :-)
- Open the Eclipse SDK
- Open the File menu, New, and choose Other
- In the list of Wizards, expand the STEM category and select New STEM Model Project
- Click Next
- Choose Create and configure a new STEM Model Package
- Click Next
Configure the Model Package
The model package is the container for all models in a given package. A model package generates an Eclipse plug-in project.
Parameter Name Data Type Example Value Package Name String
(Java Identifier)
CattleSalmonellosis Package Prefix String
(Java Package Identifier)
The Package Name and Package Prefix are combined to create the resulting Eclipse plug-in/project identifier. For example, the model package with values above will generate an Eclipse plug-in/project with ID com.example.diseasemodels.cattlesalmonellosis. This plug-in, once automatically generated, will be added to your STEM runtime (while it is running). Later we will explain how you can also send this plug-in to colleagues you wish to share it with.
Add/Edit a Computational Model
When you're ready to add a computational model to the package, from the Model Package page, click Add Model. To edit an existing computational model, select it in the Contained Models list and click Edit Model. This will launch the Computational Model Wizard.
Configure Model Properties
Model properties are the most basic settings of a STEM Computational Model. Properties include the model's name, the model's type, and which parent model it extends and inherits parameters and compartments from. All are required.
Property Type Example Description Model Name String
(Java Identifier)
CattleSalmonella The model's name. This value will be the Java class name of the generated model. Should contain alphanumeric characters, no spaces, and cannot begin with a number. Model Type String from list DiseaseModel The underlying model type. If you're implementing a Disease Model, select DiseaseModel. A Population Model, select PopulationModel. This value is used to find appropriate parent models. Parent model Computational Model SIR The computational model this new model will extend. If you're not sure, select the textbook model that most closely resembles the compartment model you're implementing (SI, SIR, SEIR)
When you're finished, click Next to configure the Model Parameters
Configure Model Parameters
Model parameters - also called rate parameters - represent user-defined variables that are passed into the computational model. The values can represent many things, but are often variables to the differential equations that make up the model. Users are asked to provide values for these parameters when a new Disease/Population/etc is created in STEM. Examples include Transmission Rate, Immunity Loss Rate, etc.
By default, a model inherits parameters from its ancestor models (which might be a model you already created using these instructions). These are shown in light gray italics. You cannot edit or remove parameters inherited from another model. So, if you don't want to use a parameter on the list, start with a higher level model. The most generic Disease Model has one state 'S' for susceptible and no parameters at all.
To add a new model parameter, click Add Parameter. To edit an existing parameter, select one from the list and click Edit Parameter.
When you click Add or Edit Parameter, the Model Parameter Editor window opens. Use the form provided to set the properties for the model parameter.
Property Required? Type Example Description Name Yes String (Java Identifier) transmissionRate2 The parameter's name. This is the name of the Java member variable in the resulting computational model. This required property is a Java identifier and should contain alphanumeric characters, no spaces, and cannot begin with a number. Display Name Yes String Transmission Rate 2 The display name of the parameter. This should be a short, user-friendly description of the parameter. Data Type Yes EClassifier double The data type of the parameter. This will be the Java type of the resulting member variable. Tip: For models with multiple populations, select a ValueList or ValueMatrix data type. Default Value Yes** Type-specific 0.0 The default value of the parameter if a value is not provided by the user. A default value often accompanies the parameter in literature. **This field is required for numeric data types (like double, integer, float, etc). Constraints No Constraint minValue Parameter constraints are used to restrict the allowed parameter values. See below for more details about Parameter Constraints. Units No String PM/TP User interface message that explains what units are expected for this parameter Help Message No String User interface message that further explains the purpose or other details about this parameter. Missing Message No String User interface message that displays when no value is entered for this parameter. Invalid Message No String User interface message that displays when an invalid value (e.g. violates the constraints) is entered for this parameter.
Parameter Constraints
Parameter constraints are used to restrict the allowed values for a model parameter. A parameter can have multiple constraints. Each constraint is evaluated independently and must be fulfilled for a value to be accepted.
- Note: You can add multiple constraints of the same type. However, for certain constraint types, this may not make sense and may cause a value to never be valid. For example, it does not make sense to create two minValue constraints.
To add a new constraint, click Add. To edit an existing constraint, select one from the constraint list and click Edit.
Use the Constraint Editor to select the Constraint Type and enter a Constraint Value. When finished, click OK.
- Available Constraints
Constraint Type Example Constraint Value Description minValue 0.0 The minimum numeric value allowed for the parameter maxValue 1.0 The maximum numeric value allowed for the parameter More constraint types coming soon...
When you're finished working with Model Parameters, click Next to configure Model Compartments.
Configure Model Compartments
Model compartments are the second type of variable in the computational model and represent the various groupings within the model lifecycle. Unlike Model Parameters, however, these values are not defined by the user, but instead are calculated as the output from the model's differential equations. For more information, please read the Introduction to Compartment Models.
Like Model Parameters, Model Compartments are inherited from the parent model. Compartments inherited from another model are shown in light gray italics and cannot be edited or removed. If the compartments from your parent model do not closely match the compartment model you're implementing, you can elect to choose a different model to inherit compartments from.
- Note: Just because a compartment does not match the compartment name in literature does not mean it's not logically the same or can't be reused. Consider this before deciding not to use an inherited compartment.
To add a new compartment, click Add Compartment. To edit an existing compartment, select it from the list and click Edit Compartment.
Use the Compartment Editor dialog to edit the compartment's properties. All properties are required.. When finished editing the compartment, click OK.
Property Type Example Description Compartment Name String (Java identifier) s The name of the compartment. This is also the name of the resulting Java member variable. It should contain alphanumeric characters, no spaces, and cannot begin with a number. Compartment Type String Standard The property of values stored in the compartment. This helps determine what kinds of underlying calculations occur. Example types are Standard, Incidence, and Deaths. Data Type EClassifier double The data type of the compartment. Currently only valid type is double.
When you're finished working with compartments, the model is complete. Click Finish.
Run the Code Generator
When you're finished working with the computational models in the model package, you're ready to run the code generator.
From the Model Package page, click Next.
On the Generator Options, configure advanced properties for the code generator.
When finished, click Finish.
If no errors are found, the code generator will now run. This process may take 1-2 minutes.
Work with your Generated Computational Models
Once the code generator finishes, the new computational model project will be automatically added to your STEM Workspace. Follow the instructions for creating any type of STEM Scenario and your new model will appear on the list when you click on the new Disease (or new Population) model dialog.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The overwhelming majority of described fungal species are members of the subkingdom Dikarya (Hibbett et al. 2007), which is composed of the two phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. Ascomycota is the largest phylum within the kingdom Fungi, with around 65,000 described species (Kirk et al. 2008).
Ascomycota, which includes both unicellular and multicellular forms, is divided into three monophyletic subphyla:
1) Taphrinomycotina (which includes, among others, Pneumocystis jirovecii, a fungus that is often present in the lungs of healthy people but can cause pneumocystosis in individuals with weakened immune systems);
2) Saccharomycotina (which includes the "true yeasts", including among others Saccharomyces cerevisiae [Bakers' Yeast] and Candida albicans, the most frequently encountered fungal pathogen of humans and often the agent responsible for vaginal yeast infections and thrush and some toenail infections, among others human medical woes);
3) Pezizomycotina (this clade, the largest subphylum of Ascomycota, includes the vast majority of filamentous, ascocarp-producing species of ascomycetes).
Ascomycetes occur in terrestrial, marine, and freshwater habitats and many species play a major ecological role as decomposers. They range from microscopic to the size of large "mushrooms". The key characteristic of the Ascomycetes is the production of ascospores (by meiosis, usually followed by mitosis) in sac-like asci (singular: ascus) as part of their sexual reproduction (ascomycetes also reproduce asexually via the production of conidia, which are formed by mitosis at the tips of haploid conidiophores). In many ascomycete clades, these asci are enclosed in "fruiting bodies" (ascocarps), which include some very familiar forms such as truffles and morels.
In the vast majority of the symbiotic associations known as lichens, the fungal partner is an ascomycete (and a large fraction of ascomycete species are known from lichens). Many mycorrhizae (mutualistic associations between fungi and plant root systems) involve ascomycetes as well. A number of agriculturally important plant pathogens are ascomycetes--but so are the fungi that gave us penicillin and many cheeses (Ropars et al. 2012) and several ascomycete species have been major model organisms for research in genetics and cell biology.
(James et al. 2006; Hibbett et al. 2007; Kirk et al. 2008)

NEW YORK (AP) — The euro was unchanged against the dollar Tuesday as traders waited to see whether Greece will get its next payment of bailout funds.
European Union finance ministers met in Brussels on Tuesday, but no decision was announced.
"The backs of euro-area finance ministers are against the wall. They don't want to rush a decision on Greece, but they also know that they are running out of time," said Kathy Lien, managing director at currency trading firm BK Asset Management, in a note to clients. "Investors have no choice but to sit and wait."
The euro was worth $1.2807 late Tuesday, unchanged from late Monday.
The dollar strengthened slightly against the euro in early trading after the credit rating agency Moody's stripped France of its prized AAA credit rating. France is the No. 2 economy among euro countries.
The British pound rose to $1.5916 from $1.5905.
The dollar rose to 81.71 Japanese yen from 81.33 Japanese yen, to 0.9407 Swiss franc from 0.9403 Swiss franc and to 99.79 Canadian cents from 99.66 Canadian cents.

Installation of the first Exchange server in the organization can't be delegated
Applies to: Exchange Server
Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Setup can't continue because the logged-on user doesn't have the account permissions that are required to install the first Exchange 2013 server in the organization.
Although Exchange 2013 Setup allows using delegation to install successive server roles, Setup requires that the user who is logged on is a member of the Enterprise Admins Windows security group when the first Exchange 2013 server in the organization is installed. This is required because Exchange 2013 Setup creates and configures objects in the Exchange Organization container in Active Directory during installation.
If you haven't prepared the Active Directory schema for Exchange 2013, the logged-on user must also be a member of the Schema Admins Windows security group. Alternately, another user who's a member of the Schema Admins Windows group can prepare the Active Directory schema before Exchange 2013 is installed.
To resolve this issue, add the logged-on user as a member of the Enterprise Admins security group. Or, log on to an account that's a member of the Enterprise Admins security group. Then run Exchange 2013 Setup again.
Having problems? Ask for help in the Exchange forums. Visit the forums at Exchange Server, Exchange Online, or Exchange Online Protection.

SANTAQUIN, UTAH (AP) - A Utah man who won a $380,000 Lamborghini in a convenience store chain's contest says he crashed the sports car six hours after he got it.
KSL-TV reports the lime green Murcielago Roadster will head to a Las Vegas body shop Wednesday for repairs, days after David Dopp won it from Maverik stores' "Joe Schmo to Lambo" contest.
Dopp says he was taking friends and family on joy rides Saturday when the vehicle hit ice or gravel and started spinning. The car hit some fence posts and came to rest in a field.
The Lamborghini has front-end damage, a punctured wheel and scratches along the passenger side.
Dopp wasn't injured in the crash and says the vehicle is insured.
He also says he'll be more careful next time.

93 Musters RoadWest BridgfordNottingham, NG2 7PGTel: 0115 914 3200
We offer flu jabs to all over 65s and those under 65 deemed to be at increased risk of flu (i.e. those suffering from asthma and other chronic respiratory diseases, chronic heart disease, renal disease, liver disease, diabetes or immunosuppression). We run a day when you can just turn up and book in at reception on the day.
This day is advertised beforehand in our local chemists, at the practice and on the website. It is usually held in September / October (dependent on when we get our supplies) so you can contact the surgery near that time to find out the date. Anyone missing this date will be contacted to see when they are able to get in to have one and we will possibly run a second date later on.
Saturday 29th September: 8.30am - 12.30pm
Saturday 3rd November: 8.30am - 12.30pm
No appointment necessary. If you are registered at the practice and eligible for a flu jab, just turn up on the day and give your name at reception.
If you are unable to attend on either of these days, there will be a further day on:
Tuesday 20th November: 2.00pm - 7.30pm
Here at St George's Medical Practice we provide an extensive range of Clinics and Health Care Services.
Our Ante Natal clinic is held in cooperation with our attached community midwife.
We carry out all our Child Health surveillance. This is done in close cooperation with our health visitors. We also provide a full childhood immunisation service.
All the doctors and nurses in the practice offer contraceptive advice during normal surgery hours.
Please contact reception for full details.
- Please enquire at Reception
Please call after 1:00pm to enquire about your test results as our reception staff will have more time to deal with your request between these times.
Note that the practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.
When you take your test you will be told how long it will be before the results are returned to the practice.
Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection in people under the age of 25. It affects both males and females and because it often has no early symptoms, it can go undiagnosed for some time. About 1 in 10 sexually active young people test positive, yet did not know they had it. If left untreated it can cause pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. As part of the Central Nottingham Chlamydia Screening Programme, we are now offering Chlamydia screening to any patients aged 15 - 24. the test is self-taken and full instructions given. Kits are available from your nurse, doctor or reception, on request.
If you have any concerns or questions with regards to sexual health, irrespective of age, please make an appointment with your doctor or nurse
Breast cancer risk is strongly related to age, with more than 80% of cases occurring in women over 50 years old. The highest number of cases of breast cancer diagnosed is in the 50-64 age group, the age group targeted for screening.
Many of them are diagnosed as a result of the screening programme. Survival rates for breast cancer have increased, with 72% of women diagnosed with the disease now being likely to survive for 10 years. This is much improved on rates ten years ago when 64% of women would be expected to survive for 10 years.
The NHS Breast Screening Programme continues to work closely with units across the region to deliver breast screening for all women aged over 50.
Patients are targeted, through their GP surgery, on a three yearly rolling programme. This will therefore mean that you could be invited for screening at any point between the age of 50 and 53, depending on when our practice screening falls.
Approximately one in twenty people in the UK will develop bowel cancer during their lifetime. It is the third most common cancer in the UK, and the second leading cause of cancer deaths, with over 16,000 people dying from it each year. It affects men and women equally.
Regular bowel cancer screening has been shown to reduce the risk of dying from bowel cancer by 16%. From June 2008 a national bowel screening programme was introduced across Nottinghamshire County. This aims to detect bowel cancer at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be effective.
If you are aged 60-69 years old and registered at St. George's Medical Practice, you will automatically receive a free self-screening kit on a 2-yearly basis. You will be sent a simple test kit to complete in the privacy of your home. This will involve collecting a small sample from three separate bowel motions and, using a specially designed prepaid envelope, returning the kit to the laboratory for analysis.
Prostate cancer is a serious condition. The PSA test, which can give an early indication of prostate cancer, is available to you if you want to be tested. However, experts disagree on how useful the PSA test is. This is why there is a lot of research and why there is no national screening programme for prostate cancer in the UK. An information leaflet has been developed (see below) providing balanced information about the PSA test, which will hopefully help you to decide whether or not you wish to have the test.
