Thank you for the July the 4th wishes. Same to you my dear. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO very hot here. We haven't had one day under 100 since last Wednesday so I have been inside the entire time. It has been a very long month being indoors. I am headed to an outdoor birthday party for a very important 1 year old this weekend though. Probably won't stay long, but at least I will be outside.
Praying for you always my dear. I am so praying that this cycle happens and sticks. I can't even try to imagine what you are feeling, but know that I am here if you need me and I will be saying all sorts of prayers for you. Love you guys!!!

Team Frakas
Hero: Black Spy Hero: Guybrush Threepwood Nemesis: White Spy Nemesis: LeChuck
Black spy peered through his catcher's mask at the Death Star as it loomed over the horizon of the stadium. Shuttles traveled back and forth between the space station and the docking platform located in the right field bullpen. The Empire's efficiency was impressive and formidable against an enemy with profuse numbers but would be defenseless against one mad man.
Tallying the frequency as each shuttle arrived and departed, Black spy adjusted his chest protector and crotched behind home plate. As he descended, Black spy attached a small explosive to the leg armor of the Imperial Stormtrooper in the batter's box. Once again he was undetected. He placed his mitt in a position to obscure the trooper's vision and then giggled to himself. The stormtrooper probably couldn't see anything in that helmet. Black spy lowered his free hand and flashed the signs to the pitcher.
White spy stood on the pitcher's mound and acknowledged the sign from Black spy by touching the brim of his cap. He grasped the baseball in his mitt with his throwing hand loosely. He emptied his mind and started the wind-up. The ball launched from his hand and gained velocity racing toward Black spy's expecting catcher's mitt.
The Stormtrooper braced and shifted his weight. The bat he held swung and connected with the approaching baseball, changing its trajectory. The ball propelled into the sky. The trooper dropped the bat and ran down the painted line toward the white rubber coated canvas bag to the right of the pitcher's mound. Before the ball landed on the outfield grass, the explosive attached to the Stormtrooper's armor ignited. The trooper's leg violently detached from his body. The rest of him collapsed to the ground and passed out from the pain.
Guybrush Threepwood witnessed the spectacle for the fifteenth time, "Huh. Those guys are more gullible than fans who continue to purchase the same film series released on different media formats." The self-proclaimed mighty pirate approached the tranquil baseball and extracted it from the pillow of grass. Guybrush arced his arm flimsily and threw the baseball toward the infield.
LeChuck barked for the fifteenth time, "You throw like a field-prancing, flower-sniffing wench."
Guybrush retorted, "Yeah. That doesn't get old after fifteen times."
LeChuck belly-laughed, "Not for me, Tulipwood." The demon pirate retrieved the baseball as it rolled lazily into the infield. He lumbered over to the fallen Stormtrooper and tagged its maimed body. The umpire raised his right arm and bellowed, "Yeeerrr out."
The grounds crew exited the dugout and removed the remains of the Stormtrooper. They placed the remnants on the flatbed of a utility vehicle. They drove the mangled mess to the rest of its fallen comrades piled beyond the left field fence.
The Dark Lord of the Sith argued foul play to the umpire, "You have failed me for the last time, once again."
The umpire explained, "I've searched their catcher every time you've protested and found no foreign substance."
"Then how do you explain the mountain of Imperial Stromtrooper parts in left field?", Vader growled.
The umpire shrugged, "They're your team, not mine, Lord Vader. Now, Play Ball!" He tossed the ball to the scourge of the Jedi.
Vader held the ball in mid-flight with the Force. It hovered and followed him as he turned and walked up the pitcher's mound.
Guybrush picked up a batter's helmet and placed it on his head. He grasped two bats and began to take a few practice swings. He dropped one bat, left the on deck circle and walked toward the batter's box.
Black spy made his way to the right field docking platform.
White spy monitored a small box with switches and lights he held in his hand.
LeChuck stepped out of the dugout and into the on deck circle.
Guybrush kicked some dirt in the batter's box and faced Vader, "You know, they say black is slimming. Not so much on you."
Lord Vader stood dispassionately on the mound. His breathing echoed throughout the stadium.
Guybrush held his hand up to the umpire signaling his desire for some time to get set. He continued to taunt Vader, "And another thing. I've always wondered why the breathing thing was so scary. Now that I'm actually in your presence, I know why." Guybrush waved his hand in front of his face. "Your breath is horrid! Is there some filter that needs to be changed in that mask? Do you have a warranty plan on that?"
Vader howled, "Silence!"
From the on deck circle, LeChuck lechuckled, "It be a pleasure to not be on the receiving end of a Threepwood taunt."
The ground rumbled as Vader's anger enflamed. The hovering ball shot toward the batter.
Guybrush expected Vader's retaliation and braced himself for the impact. He turned his back to the encroaching projectile. Prior to his at-bat, he took Black spy's chest protector and positioned it to cover the seat of his pants and lower back. The ball hit the cushion and bounced away.
The crowd collectively gasped as Guybrush fell to the ground. The umpire threw up his hands calling time out and signaled a warning toward the Dark Lord and both benches. The umpire stood over Guybrush, who sold his part perfectly. Guybrush got to his knees holding his back. The umpire questioned with concern, "Are you alright, son?"
Guybrush feigned a cough, "I'll be alright." As he got to his feet and made his way to first base, the crowd burst into applause. Guybrush stood on the base and leaned over with his hand on his back.
Black spy returned from right field. A shuttle lifted off and headed toward the space station.
LeChuck stepped into the batter's box.
Vader forced the baseball to home plate and Guybrush broke into a run toward second base.
LeChuck squared into a bunt stance. He caught the ball with the bat and it dropped onto the grass softly. LeChuck dropped the bat and made his way to first base.
The Stormtrooper behind the plate jumped out of his crotch and went to pick up the bunted baseball. As he leaned over to grab the ball, White spy flipped a switch. The trooper exploded.
Vader watched another trooper fly into pieces. The Dark Lord grabbed the ball with the Force and threw it to the Stormtrooper at first base. White spy flipped another switch. The trooper at first base burst into flames. The baseball sailed into right field.
Guybrush rounded third base.
Darth Vader lifted a foot off the ground and floated toward home plate. He forced the ball from right field as the outfield erupted into a minefield.
Vader and Threepwood converged. Guybrush dove under the black cape and touched home plate before the ball reached within the grasp of Vader.
The umpire threw his arms apart, "SAFE!"
The crowd cheered. The scoreboard recorded its first run.
Suddenly, there was a flash in the sky and the ovation died.
The next day, the SPORTS headline read:
Empire defeated – Game called on account of debris

Mexico faces diabetes disaster as obesity levels soar
Mexico City - With each bite into a greasy taco and slurp of a sugary drink, Mexico hurtles toward what health experts predict will be a public health crisis from diabetes-related disease.
A fifth of all Mexican women and more than a quarter of men are believed to be at risk for diabetes now. It's already the nation's No. 1 killer, taking some 70,000 lives a year, far more than gangster violence.
Public health experts blame changes in lifestyle that have made Mexicans more obese than anywhere else on Earth except the United States. They attribute changes to powerful snack and soft drink industries, newly sedentary ways of living and a genetic heritage susceptible to diabetes, a chronic, life-threatening illness.
The results are evident at public hospitals, where those needing treatment for diabetes-related illness, such as blindness and kidney dialysis, clamor for help.
"The first time we came, we had to wait 12 days for my husband to get dialysis," said Marta Remigio Jasso, who spoke on the grounds of the General Hospital of Mexico, a public unit of the Secretariat of Health. "I slept under my husband's hospital bed."
Already, some 150,000 Mexicans receive kidney dialysis, but nearly the same number are denied treatment for lack of insurance, said Dr. Abelardo Avila Curiel, a physician and expert in population studies at one of Mexico's most prestigious medical centers, the Salvador Zubiran National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition.
"When we project the increase in diabetes and the costs associated with it, the Mexican health system will be overwhelmed. It can't be paid for. By the year 2020, it will be catastrophic. By 2030, it faces collapse," Avila said.
Somewhere between 6.5 million and 10 million Mexicans now have diabetes, the Health Secretariat says. While the numbers are fewer than the 20 million who suffer from diabetes in the United States, Mexico carries the seeds of an unfolding tragedy linked both to soaring obesity and shifting demographics that will heavily burden health systems.
"In the next four decades, the population of people 65 years and older will quadruple," said Manuel Ordorica Mellado, a demographer at the Colegio de Mexico, a public research and teaching institution. "This is vertiginous growth."
By the middle of the century, Mexico is likely to have 25 million elderly people, he said, equivalent to the nation's entire population as recently as 1950.
The elderly are among those suffering the worst from diabetes-related illness.
"Diabetes is the primary cause of blindness in Mexico. It's also the main reason for amputations," said Carmen Reyes de Ortega, the executive director of the Mexican Diabetes Association, a nonprofit advocacy and educational group.
"The panorama is not good," Reyes de Ortega continued. "We'll have a lot of people suffering blindness, with mobility problems and needing dialysis."
The once-languid pace of Mexican life has undergone radical transformation in recent decades. Crowded urban areas force long commutes on workers, and public security concerns keep them cooped up at home.
Workers who once would return to their homes for long lunch breaks, eating freshly prepared foods, no longer can do that.
"It is practically impossible to go home to eat lunch now," said Dr. Gabriela Ortiz, a department director at the National Center for Preventative Health and Disease Control. "We ask for food to be delivered to our office. Some employees go out to the taco stands on the corner or to the street markets."
Since tap water is widely considered unsafe, and public drinking fountains rare, most Mexicans swill a sugary drink with their meals. The average Mexican consumes 728 8-ounce sugary drinks from Coca-Cola per year, an average of two a day, far more than the 403 eight-ounce drinks that are consumed per person annually in the United States.
"Coca-Cola is a great villain, but it is not the only one," Avila said, adding that some 30 of Mexico's 500 largest businesses produce snacks or other types of junk food, carbonated or sugary beverages. He said their total annual sales top $80 billion and their advertising and lobbying budgets easily trump public health campaigns.
A 2012 federal health and nutrition survey found that 64 percent of men and 82 percent of women in Mexico were overweight or obese. Obesity levels have tripled in the past three decades.
"I'm looking out my window," said Dr. Stan De Loach, an American-certified diabetes educator who has lived most his life in Mexico, "and I see two, three, four, seven, eight people out of maybe 20 people who are obese."
Mexico now has higher obesity rates among children ages 5 to 11 years than any other country. According to a 2012 health survey, 34.4 percent of children are obese, Ortiz said. The comparable figure in the United States is 16.9 percent, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
"Diabetes 10 years ago was a problem mainly among people 55 years and older. But now we see cases even in young people 12 and 13 years old," said Reyes de Ortega of the Mexican Diabetes Association.
In Mexico, some 400,000 youth suffer from diabetes Type 1 (which requires insulin injections) or Type 2 (which is associated with obesity, inactivity and family history).
Amid worries about rising childhood obesity, lawmakers in 2010 limited the kinds and quantities of food and drinks that could be offered at public schools. But vendors still congregate outside school gates at the end of each day to peddle fried snacks, sweets and sodas.
"Why do they keep selling potato chips and ice cream at the school where my son goes?" asked Fabiola Balbuena Torres, a 31-year-old professional wrestler who goes by the ring name Faby Apache. Torres is one of scores of pro wrestlers taking part in "Fight Against Obesity," a program to encourage youngsters to consume healthy foods.
Many of the alarm bells sounding about diabetes and its long-term impact come from experts outside government.
"It's a bomb. It's an extremely urgent problem," Reyes de Ortega said.
Health Secretariat officials say the government will do what it can to treat diabetes-related illnesses, acknowledging that kidney dialysis eats up as much as half of the budget earmarked for diabetes.
But pledges of universal health coverage do not match reality.
"The health system in Mexico operates with smoke and mirrors," said Dr. Joel Rodriguez, a nephrologist. "If you have social security, they give you an appointment in eight months or a year. You end up going to a private clinic because you can't get in to see the doctor."

Age Concern campaign to boost Silver Surfers
Next up: meals on wheels for the Incredible Hulk
This week is Silver Surfer Week, the centrepiece of Age Concern's efforts to get more older people online. Workshops and taster sessions are being held across the country to show Britain's ever-expanding grey army the power of the internet.
Age Concern director general Gordon Lishman said: "We will be able to offer older people across the UK the chance to experience the internet, many for the first time. Accessing services and doing your shopping online can be a real lifeline for some."
The programme is backed by BT, Microsoft, AOL and Intel, along with regulator Ofcom and government training organ LearnDirect.
An Ofcom survey last year found older people, particularly those on lower incomes, can feel alienated from the digital economy. It failed to spot an alternative global trend of pensioners being too busy designing porn carrying coffins, dressing up as fat old boilers, starring in grumble flicks and participating in reenactments of David Cronenberg's Crash to give a fig, two hoots, or even a packet of powdered egg about the internet.®

Game Blip: Yes, it was a feisty win over Winnipeg to keep the Canucks playoff hopes alive. Alex Burrows scored not once, but twice and had a handful of amazing chances throughout the night. The Canucks lose Kesler to what looks like a knee injury and Alex Edler is missing. Edler's body was present but clearly his mind was not there. Eddie Lack had a spectacular third period keeping the Canucks in the game and staving off what could have been another humiliating loss. Higgins showed some hands with the shoot out winner,and all that is fine and dandy. This is more about Henrik playing 1000th games in the NHL. So, shall we?
I know this has not been a usual year for Canucks Captain, Henrik Sedin. His ironman streak came to an end, his first major injury in the NHL happened. He's had lengthy point droughts and the Canucks are no longer on "march to the playoffs auto-pilot mode." However, 1000 games is one hell of an accomplishment, no matter what sport you play. What makes it more special for Henrik is that he did it all with one team. He is the first player in franchise history to play 1000 games. Stan Smyl played 896 games for the Canucks. Daniel Sedin is only 31 games away from 1000th, so he will be joining his twin fairly soon.
Warning: This edition of the Top 10 will take some of your time. Several moments of Sedinery take some time to watch, enjoy and appreciate. So relax, have a Kit Kat, give yourself a break, and a treat and watch some Henrik Sedin moments from some of his 1000 NHL games.
- The amazing "Sedin Tip Pass" It was almost like a set play (or was it?)
- "The Shift" over two minutes of puck possession gives us one of the best shifts in Canucks history.
- Henrik becomes the Canucks all-time points leader, passing Markus Naslund with this assist. What was more amazing was the standing ovation for him that moment.
- One of those plays when you realized Burrows has become "Alex Sedin" Hank orchestrates tic tac toe play. Too pretty!
- Henrik is the quintessential passing centre, but every now and then he buries one.
- Henrik brings Vancouver its first ever Hart Memorial Trophy as well as the Art Ross. The little diss at Daniel at the end is pure gold.
- Passing to the spot for Daniel's one-timer is a thing of beauty.
- Henrik's penalty shot against Martin Brodeur. Marty has been known to watch a lot of video tape on players for such situations but it's fair to say there isn't much on Henrik shooting, resulting in a beautiful goal.
- Henrik Larsson, is that you? All that pre-game soccer in the hallway pays off. Henrik keeps the puck in the Canucks' possession passing using his skates.
- Known as the playmaker, not the shooter, Henrik's first ever NHL hat-trick with a pass from Alex Edler.
It's a pretty wonderful highlight package when you come to think of it. As a hockey fan in general, I don't think any of us will ever see such wonderful chemistry between two players like we have the Sedin twins. None of that would have been possible without the day Brian Burke proclaimed he wanted Daniel and Henrik Sedin in Canucks uniforms. He delivered on his promise.

Henrik is the maestro of many amazing highlight reel plays over the years and I know he's got a few more in him. It's just a little "thank you" for sharing your talents with us fans for 1000 games, Henrik. Officially, now in terms of numbers, the best forward the Canucks has ever had. Long live Sedinery.
Justine Galo
PS: Henrik and Daniel have a pretty good sense of humour as well. Swedish Twins anyone?

It turns out the NBA's equation to calculate efficiency isn't too efficient in its own right. Here are a few fun facts that you probably didn't see if you looked at the mammoth formula and got scared off, just like the creators want you to do:
-Each shot is given a value, made or missed. If two players shoot 30% from the field, the player who shoots (and in turn misses) more shots is rewarded with a higher PER.
-The formula doesn't account for situations. Who is the player playing against? Who is he playing with? Is the game a blowout? It's a lot easier to score against the third team than the first.
-The creator willingly admits his efficiency formula inaccurately weighs defense, as only blocks and steals are taken into account.
Another great piece of propaganda is the "per 36 minutes" stat. The biggest question here… WHY? What does 36 minutes mean? Is that what we are supposed to believe is the median minutes per game? In the 2011-2012 season, less than 20 players averaged 36 minutes per game so this "standard" seems to be a bit ridiculous.
A player only plays 20 minutes per game for a reason. The coach knows that he can get the most out of that player by limiting his minutes. Per 36 doesn't take into account the fact that a player who is only used to playing 20 minutes a night will probably start to feel a little winded at about minute 27, and most likely start to slow down his production.
Then there's true shooting percentage, the best way to gauge a player's shooting efficiency! Right? Wrong. Poor Ronnie Brewer… having a career year shooting 44% behind the arc, just around his career averages shooting 48% from the field overall… but because he's missed 11 of his 20 free throws, that TS% takes a dive. 20 free throws in 10 games should not have the same weight as the 40 2-point field goals he's taken in those same 10 games, should it?
So here at TKB we've created a new metric. It's not advanced. There's no adding and subtracting. You don't have to multiply field goal percentage by defensive rebounding rate. It's very simple, and you can do it from your couch, the bar, your seat at the Garden or anywhere there's a TV…
I present to you: the "My Own Two Eyes" Rating, or "MOTE" for short.
Here's how it works:
Watch a game. Form an opinion. State your opinion because you feel confident enough in saying what you are about to say without having to worry about what advanced metrics tell you, because in the end, your eyes and brain are a whole lot more powerful than a calculator and a player's usage rate.
For example, this season Carmelo Anthony has been playing strictly power forward, for better or worse. When he gets the ball in the low post, he has been near unstoppable. His size and ability to finish gives him the advantage against smaller defenders at the small forward position, and that combined with his foot speed gives him the advantage over slower defenders at the power forward position.
So Carmelo's MOTE Rating would be: he's one of the best post players in the NBA.
Why? Because you can see it, and it's pretty obvious. He's not the best, no one is putting him up there with Tim Duncan or Zach Randolph and no one is saying Melo should be a full time post-up player. But when Carmelo gets the ball in the wing or on the block, he is usually scoring or at the very least drawing a foul (or should I say, SHOULD be drawing a foul).
Example #2, Jason Kidd is getting up there in age, much like a majority of the Knicks' roster and don't you know, the media/fans of other teams have sure made it known. But he's single-handedly led the Knicks to a handful of victories with his calm and collected approach, his three-point shooting and his crafty defense. He has been an unsung hero for the Knicks in their 8-2 start.
So Kidd's MOTE Rating would be: he's one of the best free agent pickups this offseason.
It doesn't matter what his age is or what his numbers were in Dallas. It doesn't matter how he meshed with Dirk Nowitzki or how many minutes Roddy Beaubois stole from him. In this 2012-2013 season, he has done everything that was expected of him and more. He was supposed to be a backup point guard, now he's the starting shooting guard and a huge contributor to one of the best teams in the league… but the numbers would probably tell you otherwise.
The list goes on and on. Raymond Felton has a MOTE Rating of "early returns say the Knicks made the right move letting Jeremy Lin go and replacing him with Felton for half the money." Ronnie Brewer has a MOTE Rating of "why did the Bulls let him go?" JR Smith has a MOTE Rating of "no player has matured more than JR Smith this season." Mike Woodson has a MOTE Rating of "he's got the best goatee in the business."
As you can see, MOTE isn't a number, it's an educated statement. Now of course MOTE can be taken advantage of if you're not using it with all subjectivity thrown out the window. You have the power to make your very own argument as opposed to letting basketball's version of the quadratic equation make your argument for you. Don't abuse it.
I encourage everyone to join in. In the comments section, on game night via Twitter using #mote, or just in everyday life talking basketball around the water cooler. The goal is to promote justified opinions rather than unjustified numbers. Who cares if your opinion isn't popular? With your own two eyes, you can provide all the justification you need.

Hi all. My first post here (hopefully not the last), so please be patient!
I've set out to learn Lisp (for great good, no less), and started with this "Practical Common Lisp" book (hence question here). But one of the very first examples made me confused. It's about plists.
This works:
CL-USER> (getf (list :a 1 :b 2) :a)
But this does not:
CL-USER> (defvar foo (list :a 1 :b 2))
CL-USER> (getf foo :a)
It gives me an error:
value (1 2 3) is not of the expected type (SATISFIES
[Condition of type TYPE-ERROR]
Indeed, when I check:
CL-USER> foo
(1 2 3)
Where are my keyword symbols?!
I did try googling, but nothing on the first page looked like an answer to my question... perhaps I am too clueless at this point to find an answer on my own!

Although the name is now a household one, 'Shakespeare' is not a particularly common or easy to spell name. Over the years there have been a number of variations in the spelling of 'Shakespeare', as well as some ridiculous mispells. But do bear in mind that back in Shakespeare's day there wasn't actually such a thing as a standard spelling rule – it was a case of spelling words as they sounded. So, among the most common spellings of Shakespeare over the years were:
- Shakespere
- Shackspeare
- Shakespear
- Shakspere
- Shaxspere
- Shaxper
- Shakspeare
- Shackespeare
- Shackspere

WAG's June sales beat analyst expectations
DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens' stock was trading up 30 cents to $43.03 on the New York Stock Exchange mid-morning on Wednesday thanks to favorable same-store sales growth of 4.8% for the month of June versus an analyst consensus estimate of 2.8%.
Much of that sales growth can be traced to the front-end, as Walgreens posted 4.7% increased sales across comparable stores against tougher year-over-year comparisons. Before Walgreens reported June sales, Credit Suisse analyst Ed Kelly projected a 3% same-store sales increase driven by re-inflation and improving customer traffic. "We believe sales will continue to improve throughout the year [across the drug channel], as drug stores pass through product cost inflation without a meaningful impact to volume," Kelly said.
Overall, Walgreens reported June sales of $6 billion, up 6.8% as compared with last year. Total front-end sales were up 6.4%. In addition to the 4.7% front-end same-store sales lift, customer traffic in comparable stores increased 1.3% and basket size increased 3.4%.
Prescriptions filled at comparable stores were up 5% across the Walgreens network in June. Calendar day shifts positively impacted prescriptions filled in comparable stores by 30 basis points, Walgreens reported. Kelly pointed to higher pricing on branded drugs and a lull in the generic wave as additional driving factors of prescription growth. "Underlying script growth has remained lackluster since flu activity decelerated in April," he wrote in a research note released last week. "Total script growth, as reported by IMS, averaged just 1% in the last four weeks ended June 17 v. 2%-3% earlier in the year."
June pharmacy sales across Walgreens increased 6.2%, while comparable pharmacy sales increased 4.9%. Pharmacy sales accounted for 65.6% of total sales for the month.
Walgreens opened 15 stores during June, including two relocations, acquired seven stores and closed one for a net increase of 19 stores in the month.

|New Understanding of Life and Its Processes: Cellular Biology
Modeling the nerve-muscle junction identifies a previously unknown disease process.
From birth, John's muscles didn't work the way they should. At a month old, he couldn't hold up his "floppy" head. At six months, his eyelids were droopy. At 10 months, he still couldn't sit without support. By age nine, he needed a wheelchair to get around.
Now 15, John — not his real name — still lives with the difficulties of his condition. His symptoms, muscle weakness and fatigue that progress over time, are characteristic of a neurological disorder called slow-channel congenital myasthenic syndrome. In many cases of SCCMS, symptoms aren't as pronounced at an early age as they were for John, and some doctors fail to recognize it as a disorder. They may even think it's behavioral — a lazy kid. Others diagnose SCCMS as a related disorder, myasthenia gravis, a mistake that can worsen SCCMS by treating it with the wrong drug.
With John, doctors suspected SCCMS, but a series of lab tests on biopsies from his muscle tissue revealed something puzzling. The electrical current that triggers muscle cells to fire continued longer than it should before shutting off — the "slow-channel" response that gives SCCMS its name. But even at 16 months, the current was also very weak, like a much more advanced case. And the structure of his muscle cells at the nerve-muscle junction, the synapse, was inconsistent with the weak current.
"What was unusual," says PSC senior scientist Joel Stiles, "is that he presented early in life with currents that were long and small, but the synaptic structure wasn't terribly abnormal. He had muscular weakness but mild structural change compared to classical slow-channel syndrome."
SCCMS is a catch phrase for a number of different but related genetic defects, all of which lead to mutations in a protein, AChR, that plays a key role in muscle movement. A receptor protein in muscle cells, AChR works like a combination watchman and gate. It receives chemical signals from the nerve cells that tell it to open and flips the switch to become a channel for the flow of ions — mainly sodium — into the muscle cell, a bioelectrical current that triggers movement. Lab studies showed a mutation in John's AChR different from any other documented case of SCCMS. Could this novel mutation lead to different AChR behavior, something not seen before that might explain John's unusual condition?
A medical doctor with a Ph.D. in physiology, Stiles is a specialist in computational neuroscience. With Thomas Bartol of the Salk Institute, he authored software called MCell that's used in two dozen labs around the world to simulate the microphysiology of nerve cells interacting with other cells. John's situation led Stiles to thinking. "If the synaptic structure isn't terribly abnormal, but the currents are still smaller than normal as well as longer than normal, there has to be something else going on in the receptor, other than just getting stuck in the open state."
With MCell, Stiles had a tool to test his hunch. From a series of simulations, he deduced that the AChR receptors were not only slow to close, but also slow to open. Following from this lead, lab studies have confirmed that, among other subtle changes, this novel AChR mutation causes the channel to open slowly — invaluable new knowledge that can help in arriving at appropriate drug therapy as well as in research to develop new and better treatments.
Sweeps in Parameter Space
MCell is a powerful biological research technology that fills a gap between smaller-scale simulations that model molecules atom-by-atom and larger-scale approaches that model whole cells or groups of cells. MCell models the space and boundaries within and between cells, and then tracks the release and dispersion of diffusing molecules and their reactions with cellular membrane proteins, such as AChR.
MCell starts with a highly realistic 3-D model of the cellular space — reconstructed from electron microscope scans. It simulates molecular diffusion by means of algorithms that model the random motion of the molecules, and at each succeeding slice of time — often a microsecond or less — it uses statistical methods to test for all the possible reactions.
With an Information Technology Research grant from the National Science Foundation, Stiles and Bartol are collaborating with computer scientists at the Salk Institute, the University of California, San Diego and the University of Tennessee — under the direction of Francine Berman of UC San Diego — to expand MCell's usefulness. The idea is to create a "virtual instrument," software with an easy-to-use interface that can run on a "grid" of many different computers at the same time and keep track of thousands of simultaneous computations.
"What's embedded in this kind of work," say Stiles, "is the need to examine the parameter space that the model sits in. Many unknowns go into this detailed a model — for example, the reaction between the neurotransmitter and the receptor and other proteins that contribute to the cellular system. In many cases, these inputs are poorly understood, and the modeler needs to examine how the output signal varies with changes in input. If you have a model with 20, 50 or 100 input parameters, they may all need to be varied in some systematic way, and with all those simulations you get into what we call gigantic parameter sweep scenarios."
Stiles and Bartol and PSC systems engineer Stuart Pomerantz are working on MCell project-design issues and on a graphical user interface that will allow researchers to easily control these parameter-sweep simulations. At the same time, the team of computer scientists is developing sophisticated ability to "steer" them. With software that can monitor simulations in progress, the researcher will be able to shift mid-stream, with no loss of data, to refine the parameters and test possibilities suggested by interim results.
Zeroing in with MCell
With the novel case of SCCMS, the key parameters were relatively well defined. "The question," says Stiles, "was what combination of factors in the face of relatively normal structure gives us both small and slow currents."
The muscle-cell membrane at the synapse is an irregularly curved surface — deep clefts lined with thousands of AChRs and other molecules. In these spaces, neurotransmitter molecules disperse and react with the receptors and with enzymes. Stiles ran a series of MCell simulations that compared AChR response in three different structural states — normal, focally deformed and globally deformed. Focal deformations, a relatively mild widening of some of the clefts, mimicked the biopsy at 16 months. The globally deformed structure represented advanced SCCMS.
As expected, MCell showed that slowing the closing rate of the AChR channel, so that more AChRs are open longer, extends duration of the electrical signal. MCell also showed, however, for both focally and globally deformed structure, that slowing the channel-closing rate doesn't reduce current amplitude. To the contrary, current peaks on average get slightly higher. Something else had to account for John's unusual condition.
Stiles knew from prior modeling that channel opening could interact with channel closing to affect current amplitude. When he modeled a combination of slow closing and opening rates for the focally deformed structure, he found an AChR response similar to the biopsy data.
"The modeling led us to say 'Now wait a minute,'" says Stiles. "There has to be something else, something beyond the classical picture of this disease, which is just stuck in the open state. It has to have trouble getting into the open state as well. Both of these defects have to be present to explain the progression of measurements in this patient." Lab work by Stiles's collaborators subsequently confirmed this insight and demonstrated that this novel AChR mutation leads to a previously unknown disease mechanism.

Bouchon Bakery - Corn Muffin
So I made the corn muffin. I changed one thing right at the start. When looking at the ingredients I saw the sugar content. Im not a sugar-phobe, just check my other posts. I like my corn muffins/bread to taste like corn with just enough sweetener to balance but not notice that its there. So, I reduced the sugar by half. It also calls for frozen corn. Right now there is fresh corn abundant here. I used fresh cut right from the cob. Next time I will up the corn to double the amount stated cause thats what I like. I also didnt give this an overnight rest. Just mixed and baked. Came out wonderful and went great with chili we had for dinner. I know, I didnt follow the book and thats bad. I just couldnt use that much sugar. And I like more corn in my corn bread. I will definitly make these again but with my changes.

I find it strange that the Load Warrior doesn't come with these in the first place. These locking brackets will provide peace of mind to anyone that doesn't want their sweet baby taken in the night.
perfect for the mega warrior, easy to install
smooth locks
These work great! Easy to install and cover the screws that hold the mounts for smooth, snag free, loading and unloading.
Simple Math & Cheap Insurance
Don't shell out $300 for a Mega or Load Warrior with dropping 30 clamps to keep it secure to the top of your car. Many a rack has been lifted off roffs with nice bikes and Kayaks still attached. Lock up your stuff!
Great Locks
these work great and were easy to install!!!
Good stuff
The brackets are easy to use and secure... good stuff.
Understanding Directions
Locking bracket works great, not to hard to install... but... if you buy it at the same time as your Load Warrior, be sure to understand the directions to the Locking Brackets before you install. In my (lack of) infinite wisdom I just assumed that they would easily integrate once the Load Warrior was installed, but they didn't, and I basically had to "reinstall" the whole thing with the parts from this locking bracket.
Two in a Package!
Peace of mind. That's what I call these. Once locked, these babies will keep your basket safe and secure. No need for worry when you leave your car at the trailhead overnite. You only need to buy one package because there are two locking brackets per package and you can secure kitty corners.
Great Product
The instructions on the number of parts were a little misleading. There's 2 in a pack which is all I needed, although I bought 2 and ended up returning one. Regardless, this is a great product and BackcountryStore.com's customer service have made my return/credit a hassle-free experience.
YAK0075 Locking Brackets
These locking brackets are the way to go for security with the Yakima LoadWarrior or MegaWarrior. It was unclear on the Backcountry website, as well as in the Yakima catalog, and on their website, but each Yakima catalog #7064 package actually contains TWO locking brackets, with SKS locks and keys. Ordering two sets will lock down all four corners of these roof mounted baskets. No one that I spoke with on the phone at Yakima or Backcountry was aware of this fact either. I'm glad that I didn't order four.
Is it possible to request a specific SKS...
Is it possible to request a specific SKS lock code? I already have SKS locks and want to match what I already have.

Canadiens get Drewiske from Kings for pickby Arpon Basu
The Montreal Canadiens spent the better part of March auditioning some of their young defense prospects for the sixth spot on their blue line.
The organization finally decided to look at an external solution Tuesday.
The Canadiens acquired defenseman Davis Drewiske from the Los Angeles Kings for a fifth-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft.
"Davis Drewiske is a defenseman with good size and experience who has already played more than 120 games in the NHL. He adds significant depth to our group of defensemen," Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said in a statement.
Drewiske, 28, is in his fifth NHL season and has one goal and four points in 20 games. His career totals include four goals, 22 points and 67 penalty minutes in 126 games for Los Angeles.
Over the past few weeks, three Canadiens defense prospects -- including their first-round picks at the NHL Draft in both 2011 and 2012 -- made his NHL debut in succession: Greg Pateryn, Jarred Tinordi and Nathan Beaulieu.
Beaulieu was the latest call-up from the Hamilton Bulldogs of the American Hockey League, getting his audition on Montreal's third defense pairing alongside veteran Francis Bouillon. Beaulieu played 15:17 and earned his first NHL point in a 4-1 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday, but he was sent back to Hamilton following the announcement of this trade.
Drewiske has played an average of 14:28 in his 20 games this season as the Kings have dealt with injuries on their back end. But he did not play a game in Los Angeles' run to the Stanley Cup last season and he has never played more than 42 games in any of his five seasons with the Kings.
With the Kings' acquisitions of defensemen Keaton Ellerby earlier this season and Robyn Regehr from the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night, Drewiske appears to have been the odd man out.

While the vast majority of film-goers fully understand movie theater etiquette, it seems there's always one who deems it OK to talk loudly, throw popcorn or take calls on their mobile phone. Such people can turn what had the potential to be a great night into two hours of frustrating, blood-boiling torture. Sure, you can say something, but if the posters, notices, warnings and on-screen reminders aren't enough to communicate to the person that such behaviour is inconsiderate, it's likely your complaint will simply fall on deaf ears.
Intent on improving the movie theater experience for its patrons, one cinema in the UK has taken a humorous approach to the situation by using 'cinema ninjas' to patrol the theater during a screening, looking out for trouble-making transgressors.
Paul Vickery, the PR man for the popular two-screen Prince Charles independent movie theater in central London, told the BBC that the idea was the brainchild of audience members fed up with constant interruptions. Together they hatched a plan to send lycra-clad ninjas into screenings in the hope that a touch of humor might appeal to people's better nature.
Catherine Small, currently working as a ninja at the Prince Charles, told the BBC, "It's all about cinema etiquette, and making people have a great experience….so if we can stop the people being naughty then everyone else can enjoy it."
She continued, "We'll quietly sneak up on them, obviously not wanting to scare anyone, but we'll give them a little tap and a little 'shoosh' and a little whisper and explain why they're doing something wrong and that they need to stop so that everyone else can enjoy [the movie]."
According to Catherine, the cinema ninjas seem to be having a positive effect. "The response from people has been really great. People have found it amusing….and actually quite enjoyed it," she said.
Perhaps one day movie theaters around the world will be filled with cinema ninjas keeping order, singling out those annoying individuals who seem intent on ruining a night out for everyone else.

1. Multiplicity is the charging of a single offense in several counts of a complaint or information.
2. Aggravated robbery and aggravated battery are multiplicitous when the same act of violence provides the basis for each conviction.
3. The 1998 legislative amendment to K.S.A. 21-3107 changing the definition of a lesser crime to one where all of the elements of the lesser crime are identical to some of the elements of the crime charged, does not alter a multiplicitous analysis where the same act of force provides the basis for each conviction.
4. Police may legally impound a vehicle if authorized by statute or if there are reasonable grounds for impoundment.
Appeal from Geary District Court; LARRY E. BENGTSON, judge. Opinion filed June 13, 2003. Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
Debra J. Wilson, capital appellate defender, for appellant.
John H. Taylor, assistant county attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before RULON, C.J., KNUDSON, J., and LARSON, S.J.
KNUDSON, J.: Anthony C. Groves appeals convictions of aggravated robbery and aggravated battery. Groves contends: (1) The convictions are multiplicitous as the same act of violence provides the basis for each conviction; (2) the district court erred in failing to give the jury a multiple counts instruction as recommended in PIK Crim. 3d 68.07; and (3) the district court erred in denying Grove's pretrial motion to suppress evidence.
We hold that under the facts of this case, Groves' convictions for aggravated robbery and aggravated battery are multiplicitous. Consequently, we reverse the aggravated battery conviction and order that charge to be dismissed. We affirm Grove's conviction for aggravated robbery.
The underlying facts are not in material dispute. Terri Lott was the victim of an aggravated robbery when a man grabbed her purse and threw her to the ground. At trial, the issue was whether Groves committed the crime. The jury determined Groves to be the perpetrator and convicted him of aggravated robbery and aggravated battery.
Groves argues the convictions are multiplicitous because they arise out of the same act of violence. Notwithstanding Groves' failure to raise this issue before the district court, we conclude the issue may be considered on appeal. See State v. Taylor, 25 Kan. App. 2d 407, 409-10, 965 P.2d 834, rev. denied 266 Kan. 1115 (1998).
"Multiplicity is the charging of a single offense in several counts of a complaint or information. The reason multiplicity must be considered is that it creates the potential for multiple punishments for a single offense in violation of the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution and section 10 of the Kansas Constitution Bill of Rights." State v. Robbins, 272 Kan. 158, 171, 32 P.3d 171 (2001).
There is impressive case precedent supporting Groves' claim of multiplicitous convictions. In State v. Warren, 252 Kan. 169, 843 P.2d 224 (1992), the Kansas Supreme Court analyzed Warren's convictions for aiding and abetting aggravated robbery and aiding and abetting aggravated battery after Warren suggested to two women that they should commit robbery in order to obtain drug money and for providing transportation to the women who knocked an elderly woman down and stole her purse. The court reversed the aiding and abetting aggravated battery conviction after it determined convictions for aggravated robbery and aggravated battery were multiplicitous when the same act of violence provided the basis for each conviction. 252 Kan. at 182.
Warren was followed by State v. Vontress, 266 Kan. 248, 970 P.2d 42 (1998), in which the Kansas Supreme Court again analyzed a multiplicity argument relating to convictions for aggravated robbery and aggravated battery. The court determined a single act of violence, the shooting of one of the victims, was used to prove both crimes and resulted in a multiplicitous conviction:
"The State fails to acknowledge that the sole allegation of bodily harm in its complaint and the judge's instructions to the jury was Spires' gunshot wounds. To prove the bodily harm element of aggravated robbery, the State was required to prove one fact: Vontress shot Spires--the same fact necessary for proof of the great bodily harm element of aggravated battery. Under the information and instructions in this case, the aggravated battery count required proof of the fact which was also required to prove the aggravated robbery charge. Therefore, the convictions are multiplicitous, and punishment for both crimes is a violation of double jeopardy. The aggravated battery conviction is reversed." 266 Kan. at 257.
This court is duty bound to follow Kansas Supreme Court precedent unless there is a clear indication that the court is departing from its previous holding. Mueller v. State, 28 Kan. App. 2d 760, 763, 24 P.3d 149, rev. denied 271 Kan. __ (2001), cert. denied 535 U.S. 997 (2002).
We acknowledge since Warren and Vontress were decided, K.S.A. 21-3107 has been amended to remove former K.S.A. 21-3107(2)(d). See L. 1998, ch. 185, § 1. The significance of that amendment was considered in State v. Garcia, 272 Kan. 140, 32 P.3d 188 (2001). In Garcia, the Supreme Court followed its decisions in Warren and Vontress when it held the appellant's conviction for aggravated kidnapping was multiplicitous with either the rape or aggravated criminal sodomy convictions because "the bodily harm needed to prove aggravated kidnapping was the same bodily harm supplied by one of the rape convictions or the aggravated criminal sodomy conviction." 272 Kan. at 147. Although the court followed Warren and Vontress, it pointed out a change in the multiplicity analysis as a result of the revision of K.S.A. 21-3107:
"It should be noted that in 1998, the Kansas Legislature amended K.S.A. 21-3107 to essentially remove the former K.S.A. 21-3107(2)(d). See L. 1998, ch. 185, § 1. In its place, the legislature inserted a new version, K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-3107(2)(b), which provides that an included crime is one where 'all of the elements of the lesser crime are identical to some of the elements of the crime charged.' This will necessarily change the multiplicity analysis for cases which occur under the new statute and signifies a return to the identity of the elements standard that this court used prior to the enactment of K.S.A. 21-3107. Such a change, while allowing convictions for crimes which would have been multiplicitous under the statute at issue here, does not violate constitutional prohibitions against double jeopardy as it does not subject defendants to punishments greater than those intended by the legislature. [Citation omitted.]" 272 Kan. at 147.
We do not believe the dicta in Garcia signifies a retreat by the Kansas Supreme Court from its holdings in Warren and Vontress. Both of those cases were analyzed under a single act of violence paradigm unaffected by a lesser included analysis under K.S.A. 21-3107, before or after the 1998 amendment. We conclude the dicta in Garcia is not persuasive authority the Supreme Court will retreat from its holdings in Warren and Vontress. Accordingly, we hold Groves' conviction for aggravated battery must be set aside and the charge dismissed.
Groves' final argument is that the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress the evidence obtained after his car was seized. His argument is not persuasive. The "[p]olice may legally impound a vehicle if authorized by statute or if there are reasonable grounds for impoundment." State v. Canaan, 265 Kan. 835, 843, 964 P.2d 681 (1998). Here, Groves' car was used as the getaway car for a purse snatching. His car had evidentiary significance regarding identification and a potential location for the purse taken from Terri Lott. Reasonable grounds for impoundment certainly encompass a car that has been used in the commission of a crime and may contain fruits or evidence of the crime. See State v. Teeter, 249 Kan. 548, 552, 819 P.2d 651 (1991).
Affirmed in part and reversed in part; the aggravated battery conviction is set aside.

A major new venue will arrive on the Chicago concert scene this summer, and it'll be booked by one of the local music community's most respected figures.
City Winery Chicago, which is scheduled to open a 300-seat concert hall in the West Loop by late July, announced Monday that it has hired Colleen Miller as its program director. Miller, 47, has worked as the primary talent buyer at the Old Town School of Folk Music for the last 17 years, and previously booked and managed the Coronet Theatre in Evanston and co-owned Biddy Mulligan's.
"It's a classic case of going to New York and falling in love with the venue," Miller said of City Winery, which has been thriving in New York since 2008. The venue is expected to book 200 shows a year, including multi-night residencies by musicians and singer-songwriters spanning genres such as rock, folk and jazz.
Though the concert venue, part of a 30,000-square-foot restaurant-and-winery complex at 1200 West Randolph Street, will be competing with Old Town and other venues such as Lincoln Hall, Space in Evanston and the Park West for certain artists, Miller says Chicago is a vibrant concert town that will have no problem accommodating another well-run club.
"This room will be different from the others in that the focus is very much on food and beverage," she said. "This is a niche that is very much about the type of customer who loves wine and music."
Modeled after its predecessor in New York, City Winery Chicago will boast a world-class 450-bottle wine list and a dinner menu that is aimed at working couples who want to blend "cultural and culinary experiences without having to choose one over the other," said Michael Dorf, the venue's owner.
"It works so well in music I was really shocked," Miller said of the New York venue. "They put a lot of effort into customer-service training. There is no clatter -- it's not like you're in a diner. It's actually a surprisingly good listening room. I would expect the same in Chicago. A lot of people would love to leave the house at 7:30 to go to dinner and see a show and be home by 11. This is the world we live in. They can get a lot in, in a shorter time. It intrigues me as a way to do it all."
Bau Graves, executive director of Old Town, said he's just begun to search for Miller's replacement. "Colleen is a hard act to follow," he said.
It's inevitable that Old Town and other established venues will be competing for some of the same acts with City Winery, he added, but doesn't see it necessarily driving anyone out of business. "I don't know that music will necessarily be the big draw there, but as a wine lover myself, I'm intrigued by what they have to offer," he said.
Dorf, who booked the Knitting Factory in New York before opening City Winery, acknowledged that "there will be an overlap with certain artists who play City Winery in New York and we hope will play City Winery Chicago instead of House of Blues, Park West, Old Town or Space."
But he thinks there is room for cooperation, and suggested that artists who play City Winery could also possibly do a master class or other educational seminar at Old Town while they're in town. Graves said that he and Miller have had some initial discussions "along those lines" but that nothing has been confirmed.
"I hope we're not seen purely as a competitor," Dorf said, "but as someone who helps bring some other things to Chicago that maybe wouldn't have happened otherwise. I hope we add to the pie and not just divide it up."

Credo of the Peaceful Traveler
Grateful for the opportunity to travel and experience the world
and because peace begins with the individual,
I affirm my personal responsibility and commitment to:
Journey with an open mind and gentle heart
Accept with grace and gratitude the diversity I encounter
Revere and protect the natural environment which sustains all life
Appreciate all cultures I discover
Respect and thank my hosts for their welcome
Offer my hand in friendship to everyone I meet
Support travel services that share these views and act upon them and,
By my spirit, words and actions, encourage others to travel the world in peace

The Raiders added veteran Tory Humphrey to the mix at tight end as they began a three-day mandatory minicamp Tuesday.
Humphrey, 6-foot-2, 257 pounds, played with both the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints, giving him familiarity with both general manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen.
In 31 games with nine starts, Humphrey has 13 receptions for 181 yards.
He joins veteran Brandon Myers and second-year players David Ausberry and Richard Gordon at a position that at the moment looks as if it will be done by platoon this season.
