Feast of Saint John, Apostle and evangelist Beloved: That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked at and our hands touched, that which concerns the Word of life that life was revealed, and we have seen and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father and was revealed to us. What we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write these things to you, that our joy may be complete. Responsorial – Psalm 97.1-2, 5-6, 11-12 Resp. 12 R. Be glad in the Lord, you just! The Lord reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad! Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. R. Be glad in the Lord, you just! The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory. R. Be glad in the Lord, you just! Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Be glad in the Lord, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name. R. Be glad in the Lord, you just! Gospel – John 20.1a, 2-8 On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!” Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went to the tomb. They ran together. But the other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first. Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, yet he did not enter in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed. | Mid | [

One of the world's leading human rights campaigners has launched a scathing attack on David Cameron - accusing him of sacrificing British values for Chinese cash. Ai Weiwei accused the Prime Minister is lowering Britain's standards on human rights and its "essential values" by agreeing billions of pounds worth of trade deals during President Xi Jinping's state visit to the UK. He warned Britain would not have a "bright future" if it continued to succumb to the might of China's economic power, claiming Mr Cameron risked sacrificing Britain's strong leadership on human rights for the "short term gain" of business deals. President Xi Jinping's four-day visit to the UK has heralded in £30bn of business deals, including an investment by China in a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset. However Mr Cameron has come under fire from MPs and human rights campaigners who accuse him and George Osborne of ignoring China's poor record on human rights in their determination to secure investment. Under President Xi's leadership, more than 250 human rights activists have been imprisoned as he presides over what Amnesty International called the biggest crackdown on human rights in a generation. “I think the British Prime Minister has had a record on putting human rights aside which is very bad strategy and also is a very bad aesthetics, because this certainly doesn't represent the British people,” Mr Ai told Sky News. "For British I have to say, if they sacrifice very essential values just for this short-sighted gain in business, this is wrong, this is absolutely lowering their standards and it is not going to have a very bright future...when they see Mr Cameron not put human rights as an issue, (that) will make people very disappointed.” Mr Ai said China was changing “very dramatically” and its people believed in the democratic movement, but any transformation would only come about with a strong joint effort. When asked what he would say to Mr Xi if the pair met, he replied “First, I would wish him a good trip. “I think yes China does need to develop and we do need to have very stable conditions for any kind of development, but this kind of development only can come from respecting the truth, respecting the history, and having strong values...those values can make China have a better future.” Speaking shortly afterwards, President Xi defended his record, saying China "attaches great importance to the protection of human rights" but added: "We know that there is always room for improvement." The China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) will have a 33.5% share in the project (PA) Mr Cameron was challenged about Mr Ai's suggestion in the same press conference. Asked by the BBC whether there was "any price that’s worth paying in order to further our business interests with China," the Prime Minister replied: "I would completely reject the premise of your question that either you can have an exchange with China about the issue of steel or indeed about human rights; or you can have a strong relationship with China which is good for business, investment and growth. "My argument and my contention of doing five years of this job is that you can have both, indeed you must have both. The stronger our economic, trading, business and other partnerships, the stronger our relationship the more able we are to have the necessary and frank discussions about other issues. "And it’s those discussions and that relationship that leads to that grater understanding that makes that positive," he added. Mr Xi’s four-day visit started on Tuesday and will continue tomorrow with a visit to a Buckinghamshire pub for fish and chips with the Prime Minister, before talks at Chequers and dinner with the Camerons. | Mid | [

[Delays in the diagnosis of lung cancer]. To study the clinical and demographic factors associated with delays in the diagnosis of lung cancer. A 2-year prospective study of patients admitted to the respiratory medicine ward with a suspected diagnosis of lung cancer. We studied demographic factors, health care received, place of residence, and delays in carrying out diagnostic procedures. The following diagnostic time periods were defined: consultation (from first symptom to first medical visit), middle period (from first medical visit to hospital admission) and diagnostic (from hospital admission to histological diagnosis and clinical staging). One hundred thirteen patients with a mean age of 65 years (range, 36-90), 103 men and 10 women, were studied. The most frequent symptoms leading to consultation were coughing (10.6%), hemoptysis (19.5%), chest pain (26.5%), and shortness of breath (9.7%). First visits were to a primary care physician for 72%, to the hospital emergency room for 22%, or to a pulmonologist for 6%. Forty-four percent of the patients visited the doctor 2 or 3 times. The mean SD, numbers of days for the different time periods were as follows: consultation, 30.3 60; diagnosis, 18.6 19; middle period 37.9 63. The mean total time from first symptom to diagnosis was 85.7 87 days. The middle period, the time in hospital until diagnosis, and the total time were shorter when patients were referred by the primary care physician to the emergency room or were directly admitted to the hospital (P<.001). Only 25.7% of the staged lung cancers were operable. Delays in lung cancer diagnosis are long. The attitudes of primary care physicians and their relations with specialized care providers are crucial for reducing delays. | High | [

Data analyzed in this paper are available at Xeno-Canto collaborative sound library (<http://www.xeno-canto.org>). We provide unique identifiers used to locate each of the used audio files in Xeno-Canto database (see [Supporting information](#sec012){ref-type="sec"}) together with metadata relevant for the replication of results. Introduction {#sec001} ============ Non-invasive animal sampling techniques such as automated audio recording offer a powerful alternative to traditional capturing methods, with fewer adverse implications for wildlife welfare and reduced sampling biases \[[@pone.0184048.ref001]\]. Numerous types of field-optimized recorders (lightweight, waterproof, wireless and with large memory capacities) are commonly used in ecology, allowing to integrate large amounts of information across multiple spatial, temporal and biological scales. This poses key challenges for audio analysis, the most obvious being that with increasing amount of data, manual processing becomes unfeasible, and thus either drastic subsampling or automatic identification is necessary. Virtually all vocal species have unique acoustic patterns that differ significantly among species, yielding a natural tag that allows for population monitoring \[[@pone.0184048.ref002]\]. Animal vocalization can be used to obtain both life-history information (*e*.*g*. sex or behavior) and ecological information (*e*.*g*. abundance, habitat use, survival, immigration and emigration). At least in theory, entire vocal species communities can be automatically identified from data provided by autonomous recorders. However, in practice it has been challenging to develop automated identification algorithms that would reach even close to the same level of species identification as obtained by manual identification by experts. There is vast literature about automated species identification, including applications for insects, bats, whales, amphibians and birds \[[@pone.0184048.ref003]\]. A multitude of technical alternatives has been developed both for sound processing and pattern recognition tasks \[[@pone.0184048.ref004]\]. With the development of cutting-edge methods in machine learning \[[@pone.0184048.ref005]\] and the continuous growth of computational power, the set of available options is rapidly increasing. The bioacoustics community has recently started to systematically compare different techniques by applying them to the same datasets (e.g., the bird species identification challenge LifeCLEF \[[@pone.0184048.ref006]\]). Not surprisingly, as animal vocalizations vary broadly, some methods have been found to perform well for some groups but poorly for others. Additionally, existing classification methods give good results if the target classes are well represented in the reference database, but it has remained difficult to conduct reliable identifications if the reference database is sparse. With any method of species identification, a central question concerns the reliability of the classification. To move from sound similarity to a more objective measure of the reliability of species identification, the fullest solution would be to estimate the entire set of probabilities by which the query sound represents the possible candidate species. Among the existing classifiers, only few yield robust probabilistic output, and the reliability of such output has not been systematically evaluated \[[@pone.0184048.ref007]\]. In our previous work, we have developed a probabilistic method for taxonomic classification (PROTAX) of DNA sequence data \[[@pone.0184048.ref008]--[@pone.0184048.ref010]\]. PROTAX is a statistical model that estimates the probabilities by which the best matching reference sequences represent the species behind the query sequence. The probabilistic classifications by PROTAX take into account not only the species for which reference sequences are available, but also species that are known to exist but for which no reference sequences are available, as well as species--or higher taxonomic units--that are not known to science in the sense that they are missing from the taxonomy. PROTAX also accounts for the possibility that some of the reference sequences are mislabeled, a complication often present with DNA data. In this paper, we modify PROTAX to work with sounds rather than with DNA sequences, to present a method for probabilistic classification of animal sounds, called PROTAX-Sound. We use a species-rich case study of tropical birds to illustrate how the statistical framework is able to perform automated species classification in an accurate manner. In particular, we show how PROTAX-Sound can improve the classification accuracies of other classifiers and calibrate their estimates of classification uncertainty. We provide code and instructions to allow users to process their own audio with PROTAX-Sound. Materials and methods {#sec002} ===================== The PROTAX-Sound framework {#sec003} -------------------------- The overall workflow of PROTAX-Sound identification system has four phases: 1) the construction of a reference database consisting of manually identified vocalization samples; 2) the definition of acoustic features to be used to perform the classification; 3) the parametrization of the classifier; and 4) the extraction of query samples from field recordings and their classification ([Fig 1](#pone.0184048.g001){ref-type="fig"}). Steps 1--3 need to be done only once for a given set of reference species, while step 4 is repeated for each field audio to be scanned. The output from PROTAX-Sound is the predicted classification of each query sample, which in its fullest version is the vector of probabilities for all possible outcomes implied by the reference database. In the following sections, we describe the pipeline of [Fig 1](#pone.0184048.g001){ref-type="fig"} in more detail. {#pone.0184048.g001} ### 1) Construction of the reference database {#sec004} Ideally the reference database includes several samples of all relevant types of vocalizations of all species present in the study area, recorded using the same equipment and under similar conditions as the field recordings to be identified. Besides the samples of the target species, the reference database may include as outgroups vocalizations of other species and background noise. To compile the reference database from audio files (*e*.*g*. WAV files from field recordings, online libraries or collection CDs), regions of interest (ROI) can first be located using unsupervised extraction of templates \[[@pone.0184048.ref011]--[@pone.0184048.ref014]\]. In brief, the template method (see supporting information [S1 Text](#pone.0184048.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"} for details) consists of a sequence of image processing techniques performed over the spectrogram image of the sound. The automatically identified ROIs can optionally be validated manually, meaning that the user may visually check the quality of the segmentation, and redraw or delete unwanted ROIs when necessary ([Fig 2](#pone.0184048.g002){ref-type="fig"}). In the end, each sample in the reference database consists of the coordinates for the ROIs in the audio file, and the known species identity. {#pone.0184048.g002} ### 2) Defining acoustic features {#sec005} In the same way as PROTAX can classify DNA sequences based on any kind of sequence similarity measures or output of other classifiers \[[@pone.0184048.ref009]\], PROTAX-Sound can classify sounds based on similarities between any kind of numerical features extracted from audio samples. To illustrate PROTAX-Sound, we have selected to use as predictors (i) the Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs), (ii) the output of the Random Forest classifier based on the cross-correlation between the query sounds and the reference ROIs \[[@pone.0184048.ref014], [@pone.0184048.ref015]\], and (iii) the output of the Convolutional Neural Network classifier. MFCCs are the most widely used features in both speech recognition and animal sound identification, whereas cross-correlation based features have performed very well in bird sound classification challenges \[[@pone.0184048.ref014]\], and Convolutional Neural Network classifiers represent a newly emerging method. For a discussion about some alternative choices, we refer to \[[@pone.0184048.ref016]\] and \[[@pone.0184048.ref017]\]. We computed 16 MFCCs for each 0.02 second long frame that make up the ROIs of a given audio sample (see supporting information [S1 Text](#pone.0184048.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"} for details). To obtain information about the temporal variation of the MFCC coefficients, we also computed the so called Delta and Delta-Delta features \[[@pone.0184048.ref018]\] for each MFCC coefficient, resulting into 48 parameters per frame. We then computed the mean and variance of each of these parameters over the frames of all ROIs that make up the audio sample, resulting into 96 parameters per sample ([Fig 1B](#pone.0184048.g001){ref-type="fig"}). We computed the dissimilarity between two samples as the Euclidean distance between the MFCC feature vectors, resulting into six dissimilarity values corresponding to the mean and variance for the three MFCC-based features. We computed the normalized cross-correlation between the query sounds and the reference ROIs by sliding the spectrogram images of these two across each other and identifying the position that results in highest correlation of signal amplitude (see supporting information [S1 Text](#pone.0184048.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"} for details; \[[@pone.0184048.ref019]\]). The values range from 0 to 1 for completely uncorrelated to completely correlated (or identical) images. We utilized the correlation values between a single query sample and all reference ROIs as predictors in a Random Forest (RF) classification algorithm (see supporting information [S1 Text](#pone.0184048.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"} for details), and used the classification probabilities provided by RF as predictors for PROTAX-Sound (see below, [Fig 1B](#pone.0184048.g001){ref-type="fig"}). As an alternative to the RF classifier, we used the Convolutional Neural Network classifier (CN), for which we computed predictors by processing the raw audio data into spectrograms by calculating Mel-scaled log-power spectra at every 10ms (see supporting information [S1 Text](#pone.0184048.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"} for details). We used the classification probabilities provided by CN as predictors for PROTAX-Sound (see below, [Fig 1B](#pone.0184048.g001){ref-type="fig"}). ### 3) The parameterization of the classifier {#sec006} The PROTAX approach classifies samples against a hierarchical classification tree, which can be constructed independently of the reference database and can thus consist also of species that are not included in the reference set \[[@pone.0184048.ref009]\]. PROTAX predicts probabilities using a multinomial logistic regression model which decomposes the probability of one among all possible outcomes \[[@pone.0184048.ref009]\], which approach can be viewed as an application of the Platt scaling method \[[@pone.0184048.ref020]\]. In case of DNA-based molecular species identification, it is natural to use a taxonomical tree as the classification tree, in which case the classifier will conveniently yield probabilistic classification to the levels of species, genera, orders, and so on. However, as vocalizations reflect taxonomy only to a limited extent, we choose to use PROTAX-Sound without a hierarchical tree structure. Like the DNA classifier PROTAX, also PROTAX-Sound can utilize any kind of numerical predictors. Here we illustrate its performance with the following eight predictors. We calculated six MFCC-based dissimilarities (see *Defining acoustic features*) between the query sample and all reference samples under the putative species. The predictors 1--6 are the minimum value of these dissimilarities over the reference samples available for the species. The predictor 7 is the logit-transformed class probability *p* assigned for the query sample by the RF classifier. The predictor 8 is the logit-transformed class probability *p* assigned for the query sample by the CN classifier. For predictors 7 and 8, in order to avoid singular cases related to *p* = 0 or *p* = 1, we modified the usual logit-transformation $logit\left( p \right) = log\left( \frac{p}{1 - p} \right)$ to logit(*ε* + (1 − 2ε)*p*), where we set ε = 0.001. In addition to classifying the query samples as one of the species existent in the database, PROTAX-Sound also accounts for the possibility that the species behind the query sample may be outside the reference database, in which case the correct classification should be 'unknown species'. We estimated the model parameters using the method of \[[@pone.0184048.ref009]\]. We thus generated training data by considering one reference sample as a query sample, and computing the predictors of PROTAX-Sound for this query sample. To mimic the case of a species included in the classification tree, we simply removed the query sample from the reference database to avoid circularity. To mimic the case of unknown species, we modified the classification tree by removing the leaf representing the species behind the query sample and all reference samples associated to it. ### 4) Scanning and classification of field recordings {#sec007} To classify sounds from continuous field recordings PROTAX-Sound first scans through the field audio files and locates candidate sounds to segment. The candidate sound regions form the query samples are filtered for background noise elimination (see supporting information [S1 Text](#pone.0184048.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"} for details) and further processed for feature extraction and predictor construction (see *Defining acoustic features* and *The parameterization of the classifier*). In the end the query sample is classified by using the parameterized model to predict probability values for each possible outcome based on the reference set of species. In the present study, however, we utilized the entire audio track as the query sample to be classified. This was done because the test audio data are not continuous field recordings with long periods of silence and noise-only regions, thus no further processing for locating candidate sounds was necessary. Increasing computational and statistical efficiency with feature pre-selection {#sec008} ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It can be computationally and statistically inefficient to run PROTAX-Sound for all MFCC and cross-correlation features that can be computed for a large reference database. We thus aimed to filter out redundant, spurious and noisy reference ROIs, the inclusion of which may not only increase computational time but also decrease the accuracy of the classification. We selected the most informative ROIs based on the importance of the features as outputted by the Random Forest model fitted to the cross-correlation features (see supporting information [S1 Text](#pone.0184048.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"} for details; \[[@pone.0184048.ref021]\]). We started with a Random Forest model trained for all cross-correlation features and then retrained it with increasingly smaller number of features, always using the most important ones. We chose the optimum amount to be selected based on the configuration that showed highest classification accuracy. Evaluating the performance of PROTAX-Sound: A case study on tropical bird vocalizations {#sec009} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the evaluation of the PROTAX-Sound method, we used as a case study tropical bird vocalizations extracted from the Xeno-Canto collaborative sound library ([http://www.xeno-canto.org](http://www.xeno-canto.org/)). This is part of the same dataset used in the Bird task of LifeCLEF classification challenges, enabling us to compare to classification results by other methods. The dataset we used comprises the 200 tropical bird species most numerously represented in Xeno-Canto, gathered from field sites in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana \[[@pone.0184048.ref006]\]. Audio files are stereo and recorded at sampling rate of 44,100Hz, with generally good quality but with variation in the level of noise due to *e*.*g*. weather conditions and the amount of background species, as common when building reference databases from heterogeneous sound sources. Based on the metadata provided by Xeno-Canto, we selected species represented by at least five audio files, and constructed the database only with maximum quality files (class 1) which had no background species. We used a five-fold cross-validation strategy by dividing audio files in five groups to be used as training and test data, i.e. we used four folds to training and the remaining fold for classification, and iterated until all audio tracks had been classified. This strategy guaranteed that we always used independent data for training and for testing our approach. The species were divided between folds in the most balanced way and all folds had at least one audio file for all species. Multiple recordings for the same species were considered to possibly represent the same individual if recorded by the same author and on the same day \[[@pone.0184048.ref022]\], and such cases were never included in both the training and classification groups to ensure the independence of the classification data. We assessed the classification performance of four different PROTAX-Sound versions: PROTAX-Sound (MFCC+RF+CN), which utilized all sets of predictors listed above, as well as PROTAX-Sound (MFCC), PROTAX-Sound (RF) and PROTAX-Sound (CN) that included only one of the sets of predictors. The motivation for this was to examine how much classification resolution each set of predictors provides, as well as to examine if they provide complementary information (*i*.*e*., if the joint model performs better than any of the three models alone). In addition, we assessed the classification performance of the Random Forest and the Convolutional Neural Network classifiers directly instead of using them as predictors for PROTAX-Sound. The motivation for this was to examine if the classification probabilities of Random Forest and Convolutional Neural Network are not calibrated, and if yes, whether the PROTAX-Sound approach can calibrate them. Ideally, a classifier does not give as output just the most likely class, but the probability by which the query sequence belongs to any candidate class. To evaluate the classification accuracy and to examine whether the classification probabilities are calibrated, we mimicked a user who would pick up the class that received the highest probability. To assess the accuracy of these classifications, we examined which fraction of them belonged to the correct species. Before describing how we assessed if the classification probabilities are calibrated, let us first note how they should behave if they are calibrated. As an example, assume that there are 100 query samples for which the highest classification probability is 0.8 (and consequently, the remaining classification probabilities sum to 0.2). In this case, the species corresponding to the highest classification probability should be the correct species in 80% of the cases, whereas it should not be the correct species in 20% of the cases (hence, in these cases the correct species is one of the candidate identifications with a lower classification probability). If this is not the case, then the classification probabilities are not calibrated, being either under- or overconfident. While under-confident classification probabilities may be preferred over overconfident ones, clearly it is most preferable to have calibrated classification probabilities and thus a reliable assessment of identification uncertainty. To examine for the presence of a bias, we used reliability diagrams \[[@pone.0184048.ref023]\]: We ordered the highest identification probabilities from the lowest to the highest, and paired with each the information of whether the classification was correct (1) or not (0). We then plotted against each other the cumulative sums of the identification probabilities and the numbers of correct classifications. If the highest classification probabilities are calibrated (and separately so for small and large probabilities), such a plot will follow the identity line, whereas a deviation from the identity line will indicate uncalibrated values. Even if the identification probabilities would be on average calibrated, they could still be under- or overconfident for some individual species. To examine for such a possibility, we repeated the above described procedure separately for each focal species. Instead of plotting the results as we did for the overall summary, we generated for each species an empirical p-value that describes the level of bias in the identification probabilities. To do so, we simulated the null distribution for the number of correct outcomes for each species by summing the results of *n* Bernoulli trials related to the highest probabilities predicted by PROTAX-Sound for each of the *n* samples belonging to the species. This process was repeated 10,000 times to generate the null distribution. We then calculated a p-value based on a two-tailed test to check whether the observed number of correct classifications deviates from the simulated numbers. A small p-value implies that the probabilities estimated by PROTAX-Sound would have a very low chance of producing the observed outcome for the species, indicating that these probabilities are not calibrated. Results {#sec010} ======= The performance of PROTAX-Sound against the 1766 test samples is shown in [Fig 3](#pone.0184048.g003){ref-type="fig"}. The best model version was PROTAX-Sound (MFCC+RF+CN) that combines outputs from the MFCCs, Random Forest and Convolutional Neural Network, for which the classification with highest probability was the correct species in 1203 cases (68% accuracy). The predicted classification probabilities were generally calibrated, as the line depicting the relationship between predicted and true identities falls very close to the identity line in [Fig 3A](#pone.0184048.g003){ref-type="fig"}. The second best performance was achieved by the Convolutional Neural Network alone which reached 65% accuracy, but with substantial bias on its predicted probabilities: the probabilities outputted by the Convolutional Neural Network suggested a 41% accuracy. The Random Forest algorithm alone reached 48% accuracy, but also with substantial bias in its predicted probabilities: the probabilities outputted by the Random Forest algorithm suggested only 26% accuracy. For both cases the CN and RF classifiers, PROTAX-Sound was able to convert the biased classification probabilities into calibrated ones, thus reducing their bias ([Fig 3A](#pone.0184048.g003){ref-type="fig"}). PROTAX-Sound parameterized with the MFCC predictors achieved only 19% accuracy, showing that the MFCC features have much poorer classification power than the cross-correlations utilized by the RF and CN algorithms. {#pone.0184048.g003} The species-specific assessment of PROTAX-Sound (MFCC+RF+CN) showed that also the species-specific probabilities are well calibrated. If they were fully calibrated, the histogram of species-specific p-values generated by the null-model approach should be uniform in the range \[0,1\]. As shown in [Fig 3B](#pone.0184048.g003){ref-type="fig"}, this is close to be the case, except the peak near p = 1, which is due to the discreteness of the distribution for small sample sizes and can thus be ignored. Thus, there is no evidence for uncalibrated probabilities even in the species-specific identification probabilities. [Fig 4](#pone.0184048.g004){ref-type="fig"} illustrates the nature of the probabilistic identifications for four focal species, with variation in the certainty by which the vocalizations can be identified. More generally, the distribution of the highest identification probabilities ([Fig 3C](#pone.0184048.g003){ref-type="fig"}) involves much variation and reflects the range of difficulties in acoustic species identification that is faced also by an ornithologist conducting similar identifications manually: some vocalizations are very easy to identify while others are hard to distinguish from other similar vocalizations. Amongst the identifications with much uncertainty there were 139 samples for which PROTAX-Sound assigned the highest probability to 'unknown species', indicating that the similarity between the query sample and the best matching reference sample was not better than the matches between reference samples belonging to different species. {ref-type="supplementary-material"}.](pone.0184048.g004){#pone.0184048.g004} The variation among the species in their classification probabilities can be attributed to two sources. First, it is evident that species with distinct vocalization patterns lead to more confident identifications than is the case for species whose vocalizations are similar to some other species. To illustrate, let us consider the parrot *Ara macao*, with vocalizations very similar to other species within the Psittacidae family. For the test samples which represent the species, PROTAX-Sound assigns on average only 9% of identification certainty to the correct species, but it is 84% sure that the samples represent one of the Psittacidae species (sum of the identification probabilities for the species within the Psittacidae family, see supporting information [S1 Table](#pone.0184048.s002){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). This example also illustrates that PROTAX-Sound can be used to estimate identification probabilities not only for individual species but also for groups of species. Second, the number of reference samples correlates positively with classification accuracy ([Fig 3D](#pone.0184048.g003){ref-type="fig"}), most likely due to the fact that the likelihood of the inclusion of a high-quality reference sample which matches well with the query sample increases with the number of reference samples. The feature selection experiment showed that including only approximately 40% of the most important features improves the accuracy of the Random Forest algorithm from the 46% baseline (model with all features) to 49% ([Fig 5](#pone.0184048.g005){ref-type="fig"}). Besides the slight gain in accuracy, reducing the number of features significantly decreases the total computational time when classifying field audio data. {#pone.0184048.g005} Discussion {#sec011} ========== In this work, we have utilized recent developments in probabilistic taxonomic classification methods for DNA sequences to develop a PROTAX-Sound, a statistical framework for probabilistic species identification for audio samples. We have demonstrated that PROTAX-Sound is able to convert similarities of audio features into calibrated species membership probabilities. The estimated probabilities reflect the same intuitive evaluation of uncertainty used by human experts \[[@pone.0184048.ref024]\], with PROTAX-Sound leaving much uncertainty for species with similar vocalizations, or species that are poorly represented in the reference database. Like a human expert encountering a new vocalization, PROTAX-Sound assigns a high probability for the *unknown species* class when encountering a query sample which does not share similarity with any of the species in the reference database. As illustrated by our example of the parrots within the Psittacidae family, sometimes PROTAX-Sound, or equally a human expert, can make a confident identification only at the level of a group of species, not at the level of an individual species. Random Forest is increasingly used in automated sound classification due to its good accuracy and various implementation advantages: it is fast, scalable and robust to noisy and correlated data \[[@pone.0184048.ref022], [@pone.0184048.ref025]--[@pone.0184048.ref027]\]. However, as we illustrated here ([Fig 3](#pone.0184048.g003){ref-type="fig"}), the identification probabilities predicted by RF are not necessarily calibrated and can thus substantially compromise the robustness of biological inference derived from species classifications. In our study the CN approach was the best performing algorithm, but also it provided non-calibrated identification probabilities. In contrast, the identification probabilities predicted by PROTAX-Sound (RF) or PROTAX-Sound (CN) were calibrated, making the assessment of species identification uncertainty reliable and ready to be propagated to downstream analyses. Thus, when using the output of a single classifier as a predictor, as we done here with RF and CN, PROTAX-Sound can be viewed as a statistical wrapper to calibrate the probabilities outputted by the classifier (but see \[[@pone.0184048.ref028]\] for alternatives). Our results show that for some species there remained much uncertainty ([Fig 4](#pone.0184048.g004){ref-type="fig"}), and thus additional predictors are needed to improve accuracy. Importantly, PROTAX-Sound allows one to use as predictors any combination of audio similarity measures and classifiers. Ideal predictors have good classification resolution (*i*.*e*., have much variation among species but only little within a species) and provide complementary information. In order to further develop potentially complementary predictors, we note that the temporal component of bird sound provides important information for discrimination, *e*.*g*. calls, chirps and warbles having different temporal patterns \[[@pone.0184048.ref029]\]. We attempted to incorporate temporal variation by using the delta coefficients extracted from MFCC \[[@pone.0184048.ref030]\], but the poor results from PROTAX-Sound (MFCC) suggest that these features failed to capture the relevant parameters. One possibility is to explicitly model the temporal variation of the acoustic signal by considering *e*.*g*. the order in which the ROIs appear in a track, their lengths, and the duration of gaps between them. Such data can be used as input information for Hidden Markov Models \[[@pone.0184048.ref031], [@pone.0184048.ref032]\], the output of which could be used as a predictor for PROTAX-Sound, potentially providing complementary information from other predictors such as RF or CN used here. PROTAX-Sound (MFCC+RF+CN) being the best accuracy model emphasizes the power of complementary predictors to achieve best classification results. PROTAX-Sound classifies query samples not only for the most likely species, but for the full set of species present in the reference database, and can generate detection matrices of query samples times the probability of placement for all target species. When building *e*.*g*. Bayesian models of bird community dynamics \[[@pone.0184048.ref033]\], or joint-species distribution models \[[@pone.0184048.ref034]\], the collection of such detection matrices can be considered as a prior for the true occurrence matrix. Then one can sample the posterior distribution of the true occurrence matrix, thus enabling to propagate species identification uncertainty through the community modeling analyses. Statistical methods with great potential for automated identification are continuously appearing in the scientific literature \[[@pone.0184048.ref035]\], and as discussed above, PROTAX-Sound provides a statistically rigorous method to combine the strengths of the different techniques. In parallel with the development of statistical methods, it is important to make the methods applicable to real data acquired from field conditions \[[@pone.0184048.ref036]\]. One practical challenge with automated processing of audio samples is generated by variation in the amount and type of background noise \[[@pone.0184048.ref037]--[@pone.0184048.ref039]\]. Among the multiple methods developed for filtering out background noise \[[@pone.0184048.ref040]--[@pone.0184048.ref042]\], we adopted the simple but effective median filtering technique to remove background noise (see supporting information [S1 Text](#pone.0184048.s001){ref-type="supplementary-material"} for details), successfully applied in recent automated identification studies \[[@pone.0184048.ref022], [@pone.0184048.ref043]\]. The technique performs very well for audio with relatively constant background noise (e.g., white noise caused by moderate wind), which was the case for the majority of the data we classified. This might not be the case for more difficult recording conditions (e.g., equipment near to streams or in windy areas) and then extra filtering may be needed. While we have illustrated the use of PROTAX-Sound specifically for identifying bird sounds, it provides a general framework to classify the sounds of any vocal animals, such as bats or frogs. While there are still undoubtedly further challenges associated with improving the classification accuracy of the method, and in applying it to noisy and heterogeneous field recordings, we hope that the framework developed here provides a robust starting point for probabilistic identification of animal sounds, making it possible to propagate the unavoidable uncertainty in species identifications to biological inference derived from audio data.

"Just do what he tells you to do, Lothar." "Run away from a fight?" "Yes!" " If you cannot win, you fly away!" " Fast!" "It's a thin line between cowardice and cleverness." "It's true." "Alright!" "Morning, gentlemen." "That's a great idea." "I already heard rumours that the French thinks this paint is bulletproof." "I wouldn't take this with me." "It could get on the way up there." "This looks much better." "The crop stays here." " Scattered them up, didn't we?" " Yeah, it was getting busy up there." "Damn French knows how to protect their observation balloons." "I'm alright." "It was fun, wasn't it?" "Can I stay at your cottage tonight?" " Already feeling lonely?" " Yeah." "Did you have him transfer?" "Who?" "Your brother, Lothar." "Where is he?" "Did you see him?" "He was right behind me." "You better keep an eye on your little brother." "He has a hell of a dangerous attitude." "Oh for God sake." "Let the poor fellow land." "What is he doing?" "God... for Christ sake, Lothar!" "You shot this poor bastard to pieces." "You think this makes our father proud?" "He lost his hearing saving a wounded enemy." "So now you want to win a war without killing anyone, huh?" "I've watched you and Voss, and I don't like what I see." "You are all..." "you are all brilliant pilots, but you've got the wrong attitude." "This business of painting a war plane red..." "Stop dreaming!" "This is just not a polo game." "We are not boys anymore, we're grown men fighting a bloody war." "I'm quite aware of that." "I'm quite aware of that!" "But still, we can fight it with grace." "What?" "You were listening?" "The Marseilles heard you in Paris." " ... and Berlin." " Come on, he is just ambitious." "Well, have him contained then." "I for one, I don't want to get kill because of his ambitions." "And I hate to see you get kill either." "Morning my dear Hindenburg, and my dear friend von Hoeppner." "Welcome to Berlin, gentlemen." "The young man already seems to be more famous than what was his name?" " Oswald Boelcke, your Majesty." " Yes... yes!" "We need men like him." "I supposed... we'll have to give you another promotion, Richthofen." "You are a real hero." "I take it the ladies're all over you." "There aren't many ladies at 10,000 feet, your Majesty." "Corp, attention!" "Well, are you ready, gentlemen?" "Move on!" "Don't fall asleep." "Move on." "Captain!" "What shall we do, sir?" "I could run them over." "Put the pistol away." "What did he say?" "He wants my Captain's autograph." "Merci!" "Ready!" "Go!" " Ready!" " Go!" "How did you know?" "I saw you lose it." "Good morning, gentlemen." "Bodenschatz!" "Welcome!" "My new adjutant." "Kurt Wolff!" " Welcome!" " I've heard a lot about you." "Thanks." "Orders, Sternberg, orders." "My new commanding officer is the man" "I commanded not so long ago." "So..." "I've heard you chaps ran into some massive Allied aerial activities?" "More than massive." "Germany produces 10 planes, they've got hunderds unloaded in the French coast." "Let them come." "We'll shoot them out of the skies by the hundreds." "Meet brother Lothar..." "No!" "Damn!" "You bastards!" "You fucking bastard!" "Damn gophers!" "You know it's pure luck I didn't ran into one of those damn holes myself." "Thank you for being so tactful." "After embarrassing me by landing safely with shredded fins." "I've come to have a look." "Sopwith, right?" "New, isn't it?" "It was..." "Captain Brown, Royal Academy Flying Corp." "Notorious Red Baron, I presume?" "Didn't I shoot you down a year ago?" "Indeed you did." "Why're you still flying around then?" "Well, your prison camps are quite fancy, however they don't have airfields." "Thanks for pulling me out of that wreck, for saving my life." "Pulling you from that wreck didn't save your live." "True." "Without her help I probably wouldn't have make it back into a plane." "She's sure is a great girl." "She nursed me for weeks." "Did you ever get back your scarf?" "What now?" "I guess we could try killing each other with our pistols." "Killing you would make me famous too." "Sorry, I didn't bring mine but you might want to button up your holster before you lose yours." "How long have you been station in Europe?" "Ever since Mother England called the kids for help." "Meaning us, the Commonwealth colonies." "You're right." "The entire war seems to be a family affair." "Family ties is what you aristocrats are all about." "Russian Tsar, the Royal familes in Britain," "France, Austria, Germany..." "Everyone is someone's nephew, uncle, brother." "Man, your love life sure knows them all borders." "But to protect those borders, we killed each other off anyway." "And we always managed to find good enough reasons, don't we?" "You didn't unsnapped that holster's guard because you were afraid of me, did you?" "You have damn good eyes." "You thought about killing me?" "Isn't killing each other the reason why we are here?" "Yes!" "Be seeing you." "Don't get me wrong but I hope not." "Yes!" "So long then." "Good luck." "Fucking family..." "Sooner or later this war will be over." "You should hook up with that nurse." "I think she's got the hot for you." "What makes you say that?" "She kept bitching about you for weeks." "Stop the truck!" "Stop the truck!" "There you are, we just found him." "Sterni!" "Get a doctor here." "He doesn't need a doctor, he needs a priest." "A rabbi." "Oh really?" "He's dead, Manfred." "I'm catching up, brother." "It's days now since we buried him." "Why is it you can't enjoy the fact that" "I've been promoted." "I'm your brother." "He was a friend of yours, I know." "But he was a fighter pilot too." "He knew the risks he took." "Every oath soldiers proudly take, but you are more than a soldier, you are a superior officer!" "You have a responsibility towards the men out there!" "Towards your country and your people." "You know what our father always said..." ""A leader cannot afford to mourn."" "You smell nice." "Much better than all the flowers." "You're still a little boy playing silly games." "You haven't changed." "I'm not so sure about that." "A while ago, I wouldn't have let myself got shot down." "Turn over." "So much for "Germany's bravest."" "I'm sick of men keeps bringing this report of our lack of success every damn day." "I'm just trying to fill your seat, sir." "You send out single squadron," "Doering." "They're in no position to battle successfully against enemy formations." "Captain Doering has his orders." "The 'Officer in Charge of Avaition' arranges us on a time table, sir." "They are a bunch of idiots." "Condemning us to routine burial flights." "We needs to be flexible." "Loose!" "Hit the enemy where he actually is." "The British and French moved their airbase wherever and whenever they like." "Yes!" "We hardly ever down their damn planes." "I order you, to ignore OCA orders." "Mademoiselle Otersdorf, what are you doing?" "Just following orders, Baron." "You were ordered to come with us?" "Yes." "Richthofen, nice to have you back, sir!" "Welcome back." "The red ones are the 11th wing." "The yellow 10th." "The Zebras..." "No: 6." "And the black ones No: 4." "You're looking at the most successful fighter squadron of the war." "And these men are the best pilots in the skies." "I thought it would never happen." "What?" "See you smile." "I thought you're not supposed to fly." "Your nurse is a very good looking girl." "I've got a hole in my head but I'm not blind." "I am already fit enough to punch you in the face." "What are you writing?" "A book." "About flying." "What are you reading?" "I never see you without a book." "No?" "Oscar Wilde!" "You ever read one?" "No..." "I cannot see any British literature in here." "Hmm!" "Try this!" "There must be" "Shakespeare in there somewhere..." "My father read his play's once." "'Lear...'" "'Comedy of Errors.'" "You might find a couple of songs too... and a lot of playing billards," "hunting, flying, riding... ahem... how to flirt." "A hole in the head makes reading someone mind pretty easy, Baron." "So..." "Just ask." "Would you..." "Would you join me for dinner?" "Yes." "So?" "Difference... from what I thought you would be." "Different?" "Your write, it's entertaining." "You thought it would be blunt, boring... and deadly serious." "No!" "But you write about war." "I thought there would fanaticism..." "patriotism." "Patriotism... hmm." ""...the virtue of the vicious."" "You did read Wilde." "Even a little Dante." "It's helpful right now." "To knows a little about infernos, isn't it?" "Dance with me." "No." "Better not... no." "I am an infernally miserable dancer." "Imagined you're flying..." "Great!" "To have a hole in my head." "Without it I wouldn't be sitting here next to you, would I?" "Mentzke... can you turn the car around?" "There are so many hospitals now they have to give them numbers." "This is No: 76." "There's 500 patients." "Most of these men will die." "Those that don't, will never walk again, see again, taste again... love again!" "No, it's not great to have a hole your head." "You're lucky to be still alive." "Being born of nobility, you've advantages these men here do not." "They don't have choices." "It's not a game." "This is the lowest we'll ever get." "It never gets darker." "Come in." "Can you give me something for my head?" "Go to the cellar." "Now!" "They fly at night?" "Get yourself a gas mask." "Do you fly at night?" "No, we don't!" "Here." "Find a save place." "Lights out!" "Everybody turns off the lights." "Give it to me." "It's OCA, sir." "This is Bodenschatz." "Turn off all the lights!" "Night bombers!" "Good morning captain!" "Four already passed and four more coming." "Just take it all, it could be worse, sir." "It's not as if they just happened to fly past, Doering." "They know about this field and there will be more than eight." "Lots more!" "Good morning." " Good morning." " Morning, sir!" "Wolff, you alright?" "I can't find my cap!" "All machine-gun posts are being manned." "There's nothing more we can do to protect the planes on the ground." "Mentzke, get my gear!" "Ready my plane." "You are injured, you cannot fly, Manfred." "I'm not going to be a sitting duck." "I've got wings." "You flew right in between them, are you out of your mind?" "Take me to her..." "You've to lay still." "Go and find her." "I just need to know if she's not hurt." "It looks plainer." "Fokker built this great new plane, as maneuverable as the devil." "They climb like monkeys." "I know you are angry with me." "I've been ordered back to the hospital." "I know." "I'm sorry about Kurt Wolff." "He was a charming young man." "He forgot his night cap, you know." "His lucky night cap." "Baron..." "Yes?" "Take me to dinner again with you sometime." "And promise to always wear this lucky jacket of yours." "We are not late, are we?" "No, we aren't." "Lavatory?" "Down the stairs to the right, sir." "Back in a minute." "Attention!" "Everything goes according to plan." " Yes!" " Very satisfactory, yes." "Oh." "Our famous flying ace visiting our frontlines!" "Thank you for answering my invitation." "Quite a dornier sight from down here, isn't it Richthofen." "Your Majesty..." "Your Majesty!" "Aha... the little brother." "You're looking desposed, my dear Baron." "Yes, your Majesty." "I'm fine." "I always am." "Sometimes even irritated, sir." "How can you be "irritably fine"?" "!" "It happens out here." "We kill a couple of men." "And while they fall down in flames, we feel just fine." "I find this irritating." "My soldiers, do not... kill people." "They simply destroyed the enemy." "Well, the effects seems to be the same." "Yes, Mentzke?" "You have a visitor, sir." "I thought you might want to celebrate." "They published your book!" "The whole of Europe is reading it." "So... how about dinner and then a dance?" "They shut down the "Metropole."" "Yes, I know." "A British bomb hit the kitchen." "Damn those English!" "They won't be happy till all of Europe foods is as horrible as theirs." "They don't want me to fly anymore." "They're doing everything they can to make me stay back on the ground." "Really?" "They want me to command the entire airforce, the emperor himself." "That's so wonderful!" "So many times I woke up in the middle of the night, and read... the lists of missing pilots." "It is so good to have you down here." "Safe!" "Good!" "Your dancing has improved." "I have a lot of times to do this anyway." " Good evening men." " Good evening sir." " Bloody freezing, huh?" " So true, sir." "A brand new Bentley." "Where did you get it?" "Bentleys don't fall out of the sky." "Trust me, I've to argue a little with the chap." "You always wanted to be first of the Aces." "Now they offer it to you and you hesistate." "Yes..." "I always wanted to be like him." "Werner..." "Could you ever give up flying?" "I don't think so." "But if you ask my advice... you should grabbed your chance." "You only want me to stop, so you can be first." "I'll let you find out." "Alright... alright." " I'll stopped..." " Good." "if you stop first." "I don't think so." "I am married to my plane." "This is how I spend my spare time." "These are fine planes you're building us, Fokker." " The best." " Yes, thank you." "And yet somehow our own pilots seem to think they can do better." "Oh well... we sometimes modified the plane a little." " Here and there." " Modifications is one thing, ...but replacing our engines with those from enemy planes..." " How did you hear of this?" " Early this morning we received a report of the recovery of a new triplane." "Well..." "The Brits were less than amused to find one of their own Bentley engine's in a Fokker, they shot down." " I need to see it." " Of course." "I need to see it at once." "Get me the damn report, now!" "Just three more weeks, Manfred." "I already had my marching orders." "I'm going to join your combat wing." "What's become of him?" "Fallen in combat." "And him, his name is Voss, right?" "They are all dead." "I will fight with you and Lothar!" "Our big offensive is in full preparation." "They called it "Operation Michael."" "We will win this war, won't we?" "Wolfram, please..." "It's alright, father." "Of course we'll win." "The Allies don't have a clue about what's coming at them." "For weeks we've been flying out, and decepting their reconnaissances." "Keeping them from finding out where we'll breakthrough." "And we did a bloody good job." "This offensive is going to push them back into the channel." "Sir!" "Morning, sir!" "Please... follow us, sir." "Take cover!" "What an unexpected surprise!" "You came to visit another British defeat, captain." "Lieutenant, go and see if you could find somebody with a camera." "It's excellent propaganda and makes a very good picture." "We have our flying ace down here with us, on this victorious day." "Your excellency, we need to talk." "You don't want me down here." "If you give me the power to make strategic decisions, you won't have like them." "Why wouldn't we?" "We very much trust your abilities, Baron." "I suggest we surrender!" "Huh... what arrogances..." "What a pompous child you are!" "I was victor... in 63 aerial battles." "You know how I did it?" "When I faced a battle I couldn't win," "I flew away." "What makes you think we cannot win this war?" "What about our boys?" "Our holy cause..." "Our soldiers out in the field..." "You want to give all our efforts to the enemy von Richthofen!" "French... great cigarettes." "What makes us think our causes is better than the French, or the British and the Americans?" "It isn't!" "It's not even difference from theirs." "We just need an excuse for what we do because without it we would see who we really are." "Put this fool back into his aeroplane, and give him a parachute." "I can't afford to lose another idealistic hero." "Operation Michael..." "Our ground forces attack on both side of" "Socome town from here and from here." "That's a 70 kilometers battleline." "Right!" "Three armies..." "The 2nd army and 17th army are launching the offensive from here." "The 18th army will attack from here." "Our task is to gain control of the entire airspace and keeps it, my friends." "Shouldn't be a problem should it, Bodenschatz?" "Our planes are outnumber 4 to 1, Udet." "We've lived with that for months and weeks." "It will be worse than ever." "They'll send everything they've got against us." "Fucking cold." "What the hell are you doing?" "Sorry if I have bother you, sir." "What're you doing with my brother's picture?" "He ordered me to take them down." "All of them." "Sir!" "Move out!" "May God be with us." "Gentlemen..." "Let's go!" "Contact!" "Contact!" "Contact!" "He's really back, isn't he?" "His 'Flying Circus' swept the British from the skies!" "I saw him fly past, waving at us." "Sir!" "Gentlemen!" "High Command of the Northern sector thanks us for our accomplishments." "I want to add my thanks." "You've show me some splendid flying." "Thank you." "Bravo!" "Hear!" "Hear!" "Thank you captain!" "This isn't how you imagine your famous cousin to be, is it?" "The glorious captain that you often saw photograph." "Fatherland greatest hero." "The first of all the aces who shot down 80." "Nobody ever down that many." "I am really proud to be his brother." "You can't beat family, Udet." "Peace?" "Peace!" "Is that one of yours?" "I can't tell anymore." "You're flying again, ain't you?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "Why did you lie to me again?" "I didn't want to scare you." "I wanted you to be happy." "Kate, I just cannot do what they asked me." "They offered you safety, your life."

Background {#Sec1} ========== Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common cancer in women and the seventh overall in the world, affecting 528,000 individuals each year worldwide, with an age-standardised incidence rate (ASR) of 14.0 per 100,000 women. CC is reflected in different geographic distributions, and is the leading cause of mortality among women in the least developed regions, with about 230,158 deaths each year (rate 10.2 per 100,000), as compared with more developed regions that have 35,495 deaths each year (rate 3.3 per 100,000). More than 85 % of the global burden of CC, which is caused by high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HR-HPV), occurs in low and middle-income/Gross domestic product (GDP) countries \[[@CR1], [@CR2]\]. In Mexico, CC affects 13,960 women 15 years old or older (ASR 23.3, incidence rate per 100,000) annually. According to the Mexican Women´s Cancer information System (SICAM), the standardised CC mortality rate dropped between 1990 and 2010, from 28.7 to 14.6 per 100,000 women aged 25 and over; SICAM did not register mortality in women aged between 15 and 24 \[[@CR3], [@CR4]\]. These high incidences and mortality rates can be considered evidence of existing disparities related to socioeconomic and geographic factors. The population in Mexico, face problems related to many factors (social, economic, environmental, cultural and access to health care services) the impact of which increases the risk of a range of diseases. The probability of access to prevention programmes, plus appropriate and early treatment, and follow up also impact this risk. There are adverse modifiable factors related to:Lack of drinking water and basic sanitation services.Lack of health infrastructure and poor access to what does exist.Lack of education and hygiene. Besides the above mentioned, more than 35.70 % of the Mexican population live under conditions of high marginalisation and poverty. Mainly this relates to those distributed in the states of Veracruz, Puebla, Chiapas, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Guerrero, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosi, Tabasco, Yucatan and Campeche \[[@CR5]\]. Figures [1](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"} (in a, b, and c) and 2 give more specific information at a municipal level:Fig. 1Some indicators of the Mexican population living conditionsFigure [1](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"} shows the distribution of (a) the marginalisation Index, (b) Indigenous people, and (c) women's education.Figure [2](#Fig2){ref-type="fig"} provides the distribution of the population with public health system in México City.Fig. 2The Distribution of the population with public health system in Mexico, by municipality level The incidence of CC is higher in states with high marginalisation, where women have little or no access to early detection and treatment. For example, in San Luis Potosí (SLP) state, which ranks 8th in CC mortality risk in the country \[[@CR3]\] and also ranks 7th in deprivation and lack of basic socioeconomic resources \[[@CR5]\], CC incidence is 52.80 per 100,000 (age-standardised incidence). These rankings show that CC still remains a public health problem and different strategies need to be undertaken and improved \[[@CR6]\]. The highest percentage of the population with high marginalisation and poverty in the state of San Luis Potosi, is concentrated to the southeast and some municipalities in the north and northwest (Fig. [1a](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}). In another published study it is reported that in the south-east, 62.5 % of the working population receives an income of less than \$1.25 (USD) a day, a high percentage does not have piped water 76.6 %; 100 % no drainage; 90 % have soil floors; 30 % have no separate kitchen and 96.6 % live in overcrowded conditions (four to five members sleep in one room), all those are factors that generate scenarios of greater vulnerability \[[@CR7]\]. Moreover, the south east region also has more than 80 % of the state´s indigenous people living there (Fig. [1b](#Fig1){ref-type="fig"}). In the past decade, several studies of CC, identifying the main modifiable and non-modifiable CC risk factors for Mexican women, have been published. Some of the modifiable factors are:sexual relations before 20 years of age (OR = 2.60, 95 % CI: 1.75--3.95) and more than 4 childbirths (OR = 4.25, 95 % CI: 2.15--8.38) which are considered as cofactor in the development of cervical neoplasia, particularly for women infected with HR-HPV.Women with lower than 6 years of schooling (OR = 3.24, 95 % CI: 1.97--5.33).Illiteracy (OR = 4.75, 95 % CI: 2.94--7.69).Lack of access to a health care system (OR = 5.72, 95 % CI: 3.28--9.99). As previously mentioned, all of these are modifiable \[[@CR6], [@CR8], [@CR9]\]. Furthermore, women living in rural areas have 3.07-fold higher CC mortality risk compared to women with an urban residence. Some Mexican states also show a statistically significant difference in mortality from the national average, with women residing in the southern part of the country being at greater risk of dying from CC \[[@CR3]\]. However, in Mexico there are no studies that attempt to explain the residual spatial variation in CC incidence, i.e. spatial variation that cannot be ascribed to known, spatially varying risk factors. Given the above evidence, efforts to reduce CC begin with an understanding of incidence, mortality and prevalent geographical patterns. The aim of this paper is to analyse the geographical pattern of CC incidence in SLP state, using spatial statistical methodology that takes into account spatial variation in socio-economic factors and the accessibility to health services, whilst allowing for residual, unexplained spatial variation in risk. Our results are relevant to the implementation of the Mexican cervical cancer screening programme (CCSP) and could improve the effectiveness of decision-making in relation to preventive interventions. Methods {#Sec2} ======= Study-design {#Sec3} ------------ This was a geographical study based on CC incidence data for each of the 57 municipalities of SLP state in Mexico, which is located in the North-Central area of Mexico with latitude 21° 10´ to 24° 29´ north, longitude 98° 20´ to 102° 18´ west. One municipality was not included in the study because no outcome data was registered during the study period (Fig. [3](#Fig3){ref-type="fig"}).Fig. 3San Luis Potosi, SLP State, Mexico: Municipality division We combined two data sets for the spatial analysis. For the first of these, CC case-counts were drawn from the records in the public health system of the Epidemiology and Statistics Department, State Health Services (SSA) of SLP state over the study-period 2005--2010 for the 57 SLP municipalities; codes C53, D06 under the International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10). The operation of the Mexican Health Service is under the Ministry of Health; the service is integrated between public and private institutions. For the second data set, population data was extracted from the 2010 Mexican census, carried out by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography \[[@CR10]\], which also provided socio-demographic information for each municipality (count data aggregated by municipal level). We included several socioeconomic covariates in our analysis. The chosen socioeconomic covariates fall into two categories. Those related to individual women are expressed as percentage amongst women aged 15 years old or more, namely: illiterate; unemployed; single females (SF); born in SLP; head of household and lacking social healthcare protection. Other covariates are descriptors of the municipalities themselves, namely: marginalisation index (MI) which is an overall measurement of deprivation and lack of basic socioeconomic resources in the Mexican population, as well as urban inequality \[[@CR5]\]. In this study, we calculated the following three covariates for the model: the Coverage of Cervical cancer screening programme (CCSP); the Positive screening Index and the Index of Accessibility to health services. The Coverage *C* and The Positive screening Index *PI* are defined below \[[@CR11]\]:$$\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ {C}_i = \frac{{\mathrm{W}}_{\mathrm{i}}\ }{O_{\mathrm{i}}} \times 100 $$\end{document}$$ where *i* = 1,2,..., N C is the percentage of women aged 15 or more with pap smear, *W*~*i*~ represents the total female population aged 15 or more with a pap smear in the last year in municipality *i* and *O* represents the total risk population in municipality *i*.$$\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ P{I}_i = \frac{A_i}{w_i} \times 100 $$\end{document}$$ where *i* = 1,2,..., N *PI*~*i*~ is used to measure the detection of abnormal or cancerous cells, $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ A $$\end{document}$ represents the total of positive pap smears to abnormal or cancerous cells in women aged 15 years of age or older in the last year in municipality *i* and $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ w $$\end{document}$ accounts to women aged 15 years of age or older with a pap smear in the last year in municipality *i*. Finally, the Index of Accessibility to health services (IA). A gravity model as an indicator of the territorial dimension is used to estimate local and global accessibility, potential access to health services \[[@CR12]\]. The work was carried out on a scale of territorial disaggregation of Basic Geostatistical Areas (BGA): 6829 localities are included from 58 municipalities and Medical Unit (MU): 300 medical units, considering the place where the MU is located. This article uses a method that complies with the two fundamental premises of our proposal: it is simple and financially feasible. There are other more precise methods e.g. the 2SFCA and its derivatives \[[@CR13]--[@CR17]\]; and more accurate processes e.g. measure the distance through the network of roads and highways, using mathematical functions of accessibility \[[@CR18]--[@CR21]\]. However, these methods are not feasible in our study area for technical reasons (e.g. mathematical abilities and statistics of planning agencies) and the financial situations of SLP state governments.

Studies of correlation between linear distance and distance in kilometres on roads and paths, with data from the Communications and Transportation Secretariat (CTS) showed the correlations were higher than 0.70, the same is reported in other recent works \[[@CR22]\]. We carried out simulation exercises to test various locational solutions, using the linear distance and the one related to highways and roads network. The results were not very different in terms of improving population accessibility however the option of using the linear distance is much more practical and feasible for planners in the public sector \[[@CR12], [@CR23]\]. The network analyst and computations were carried out using ArcMap 10.2. Statistical models {#Sec4} ------------------ To describe variations in CC risk, we used generalised linear mixed models (GLMM) with spatially structured and unstructured random effects \[[@CR24]--[@CR27]\]. Specifically, we assumed that the number of disease cases *Y*~*i*~ in municipality *i* = 1, ..., 57 is Poisson distributed with mean *μ*~*i*~, conditional on measured covariates and unmeasured random effects, hence;$$\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ {Y}_i\sim Po\left({\mu}_i\right),\ {\mu}_i = {E}_i{\theta}_i\kern2.75em i:1,\dots, 57 $$\end{document}$$ In this equation, *θ*~*i*~ is the unknown risk relative to the whole study-area, and *E*~*i*~ is the expected number of cases, adjusted for variation between municipalities in the sizes, *N*~*i*~, of the population at risk, hence;$$\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ {E}_i={N}_i\frac{{\displaystyle {\sum}_i}{y}_i}{{\displaystyle {\sum}_i}{N}_i}={N}_ip $$\end{document}$$ Where *p* is the estimated average risk over the whole of SLP state. The relative risk is θ~i~, that is the estimation of the standardise incidence ratio (SIR) by the conditional autoregressive model (CAR). We cannot use SIR because we estimate it, hence using relative risk, following Clayton's paper \[[@CR25]\]. The logarithm of the relative risk, log (*θ*~*i*~), in each spatial unit is then decomposed into a deterministic part explained by a set of covariates *X*~*ik*~ with associated regression parameters *β*~*k*~ and an unobserved stochastic part, that in turn has two components: an unstructured component, *U*~*i*~ and a spatially structured component, $\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ {S}_i $$\end{document}$ \[[@CR26]\]. For the stochastic part of the model, the *U*~*i*~, are normally distributed and independent, with mean zero and variance *σ*^2^, whilst the *S*~*i*~ are also normally distributed, but follow a spatially dependent intrinsic conditional autoregressive model (CAR) \[[@CR26]\], leading to the log-linear specification;$$\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \log \left({\theta}_i\right)={\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^m}{\beta}_k{X}_{i,k}+{U}_i+{S}_i $$\end{document}$$ In the CAR model, the distribution of each *S*~*i*~, conditional on all of the *S*~*j*~*i* ≠ *j*, is normal with a mean equal to the average of the *S*~*j*~*´s* for municipalities deemed to be neighbours of the *i* th municipality, and variance *τ*^2^/*n*~*i*~ where *n*~*i*~ is the numbers of neighbours of the *i* th municipality. We defined the neighbours of the *i* th municipality to be those that shared a common boundary with the *i* th municipality. To estimate the model parameters, we used a Bayesian approach with normal priors for the regression parameters *β*~*k*~ and half-normal priors with variance *τ*^2^/*n*~*i*~ for standard deviations *σ* \[[@CR26]\]. The computations were carried out using Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations as implemented in the R-INLA package within the open source R software environment \[[@CR27], [@CR28]\]. We drew maps using ArcGIS 10.2. The output from the analysis includes posterior distributions for the model parameters and for the random effects, enabling estimation of municipality-level risk with or without adjustment for covariate effects. To detect municipalities with higher than average risk with adjustment for covariates, we used the criterion of a posterior probability that RR \> 1, we applied Richardson´s criterion \[[@CR29]\], which recommends those RR with probability above 0.8 to be considered statistically significant. To compare specific models within the overall model class, we used the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC), where smaller values of DIC indicate a better model fitting \[[@CR30]\]. This proved to be useful tool to compare models and to challenge the model under study. Results {#Sec5} ======= Our results show that in the study period 2005--2010, 1,586 cases of CC were diagnosed in the SLP state. The Age-Standardised Rate (ASR) was 52.8 for 100,000 women 15 years of age or older.

The municipalities with the highest SIR values \> = 1.50 -Tanlajás and Matlapa- are located in the southeast of the state. The municipalities with the lowest SIR values are located in the west and north; only Villa de la Paz (0.87) has a high SIR value. We identify that Villa de Arista and Ahualulco have high values compared to the midland state municipalities.Fig. 4The observed standardised Incidence Ratio of Cervical Cancer, SLP state, Mexico from 2005 to 2010 Figure [5](#Fig5){ref-type="fig"} shows the accessibility of public health services to Cervical Cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, as an indicator of the territorial dimension of health.Fig. 5The Accessibility to prevention, early detection, diagnosis and management of Cervical Cancer, SLP state, Mexico Table [3](#Tab3){ref-type="table"} presents the results from the GLMM models where models number 2 (DIC 343.69) and 4 (DIC 344.31) are the better fitting model.

Thus, there is an increase in the risk of CC per decrease in working women percentage (RR 0.97, 95 % CI 0.94--0.99).Table 4Results from GLMM-model number4Fixed effectsmean ($\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mu $$\end{document}$)$\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ sd $$\end{document}$2.5 %50 %97.5 %*α* α−2.1221.185−4.393−2.1430.268*β* ~1~Unemployed−0.0320.014−0.062−0.032−0.006*β* ~2~Single female (SF)0.0440.0150.0140.0440.075*β* ~3~Marginalisation Index (MI)0.0520.0100.0320.0520.074*β* ~4~Positive screening Index (PI)0.0230.015−0.0080.0230.053*β* ~5~Coverage (C)0.1540.0220.1110.1530.199*β* ~6~Index of Accessibility to health services (IA)0.0130.009−0.0050.0130.032Summary statistics posterior mean ($\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mu $$\end{document}$); posterior standard deviation ($\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ sd $$\end{document}$) and posterior 95 % credible interval After adjusting the GLMM model, the smoothed relative risk varies from location in respect of initial risk and, three risk-maps are presented: Figure [6a](#Fig6){ref-type="fig"} provides an overall relative risk (RR). The municipality of Matlapa shows the highest RR, RR 1.80 (95 % CI 1.37--2.27). Some other municipalities with high RR are: Tierra Nueva RR 1.15 (95 % CI 0.75--1.67) in the south; and Aquismón RR 1.42 (95 % CI 1.11--1.17), Tanlajás RR 1.24 (95 % CI 0.92--1.66), Santa Catarina RR 1.14 (95 % CI 0.77--1.63), Tancanhuitz RR 1.07 (95 % CI 0.77--1.41), Huehuetlán RR 1.03 (95 % CI 0.70--1.43), SVT RR 1.07 (95 % CI 0.75--1.47) and Tamazunchale RR 1.0 (95 % CI 0.82--1.19) in the south-east. The municipalities with the lowest risk are: Cedral RR 0.57 (95 % CI 0.37--0.83), Villa de la Paz RR 0.68 (95 % CI 0.43--1.03), Ahualulco RR 0.93 (95 % CI 0.64--1.25) and Moctezuma RR 0.51 (95 % CI 0.35--0.72), Tamasopo RR 0.64 (95 % CI 0.47--0.83), Rayón RR 0.37 (95 % CI 0.22--0.54) and Lagunillas RR 0.44 (95 % CI 0.28--0.64).Fig. 6Risk-maps of Cervical Cancer from 2005 to 2010 Figure [6b](#Fig6){ref-type="fig"} shows a map of the explained component (fixed effects). In this risk-map we identify two municipalities with RR higher than 1.50, Matlapa with RR 2.13 (95 % CI 1.78--2.52) and Aquismón RR 1.57 (95 % CI 1.29--1.87). The municipalities with RR higher than the state of SLP are: Tanlajás RR 1.02 (95 % CI 0.92--1.11), Santa Catarina RR 1.07 (95 % CI 0.90--1.26) and Ahualulco RR 1.05 (95 % CI 0.89--1.23). All these municipalities are located in the southeast of the state except the last one, Ahualulco, which shows a different pattern to its neighbours in the centre of the state. The unexplained component (spatial random effect) is included in Fig. [6c](#Fig6){ref-type="fig"}, where more details are shown, for instance the patterns of the highest risk in the southeast (1.03--1.08) and lowest risk in the northwest (0.94--0.97). In the southeast of the state, Tamazunchale 1.02 (95 % CI 0.89--1.18), SMCH 1.01 (95 % CI 0.88--1.15), Tampacán 1.02 (95 % CI 0.91--1.17) and Matlapa 1.02 (95 % CI 0.91--1.19) show a RR pattern unlike its neighbours. Finally, Fig. [7](#Fig7){ref-type="fig"} shows the distribution of the posterior probability of RR. Three municipalities, Aquismón (1.0), Matlapa (1.0) and Tanlajás (0.92) registered excess risk, with posterior probabilities greater than 0.8. All of these are located in southeast part of SLP state.Fig. 7The distribution of the posterior probability of RR-Cervical Cancer Discussion {#Sec6} ========== Our results confirm that mapping of the RR of CC shows substantial spatial variation throughout SLP state, even after adjusting for known and hypothesized risk-factors that are available to us as spatially referenced covariates. The highest risk is concentrated in the southeast, where the Matlapa and Aquismón municipalities, are located. The municipalities of Villa de la Paz to the north, Tierra Nueva to the south and Ahualulco to the northwest attract our attention because of their similar pattern to those of the southeast. The lowest RR values are located in the north and in the centre of the state. Furthermore, between the areas of the highest and lowest risk there are socioeconomic inequalities and differences in accessibility to health services. There is a high in-accessibility to CC prevention in SLP state, mainly in the southeast area. The use of a method such as the 2SFCA (and its many variants) can be marginally more accurate than the method used in our article, however it is much less applicable in SLP state which lags behind others in the field of governmental planning and innovation \[[@CR31], [@CR32]\]. One of the most important problems when applying the 2SFCA methods (and their variants) in non-advanced regions of emerging countries, such as SLP \[[@CR31]--[@CR33]\], is the selection of a mathematical function that adequately represents spatial accessibility. This is a complex problem, even for experienced researchers, however In SLP, the technical capacity of state and local government´s planners is very low and finding an acceptable spatial accessibility feature is probably beyond their capabilities. In addition, the rotation of personnel in the public sector is very high, registering changes of officials every three or six years, which seriously limits the formation of specialists \[[@CR31], [@CR32]\]. Even more so, the indicator of accessibility is only a guide to orientate spatial planning of health units and not an accurate measurement. It does not take in to account for example, women's perceptions as potential users, on questions such as; what is perceived as safer? Which means less effort or risk? Moreover, it should also be noted that many areas of SLP are areas dominated by organised crime. Our results show that the highest weight in explaining the CC incidence risk pattern was attributable to coverage of CCSP, marginalisation index and index of accessibility to health services. The coverage of the CCSP in the state's target population is very low, particularly in women younger than 25. This calls attention to the significant problem of CC in the SLP state where advanced stages of CC illness are concentrated in the southeast of the state. However there are no other studies in Mexico concerning the distribution of CC's incidence using a spatial analysis methodology. Like this study, studies executed in other countries have shown spatial variation in the geographical pattern of CC incidence associated with the distribution of socioeconomic factors \[[@CR34], [@CR35]\]. For instance, Lorenzo et al. \[[@CR34]\] found that spatial variation of RR of CC was associated with the territorial distribution of socioeconomic factors and with lifestyles. Their results showed two areas with excess risk in Cuba, to the east and far west of the island (CAR-smoothed RR values 1.2 and 2.01) and the lowest risk was shown in the Midwest of that country. This corroborates the findings of this study, that the municipalities with excess risk and extreme RR values can be geographically contiguous. Our results showed a specific spatial pattern for the excess of risk for CC incidence. In another study, Cheng et al. \[[@CR35]\] also revealed a spatially varying regression coefficient between CC incidence and socioeconomic covariates across England, where low social status was the most significant factor related to CC incidence rate. The effect of and contribution from the low social status variable, varied between 0.07 and 4.40 times across England, with the greater contribution from this variable in the south and northeast. These researchers indicated that this might be related to population structure. In our study, the area with excess risk and high RR was the southeast, an area characterised by high marginalisation and poverty. According to another study, spatial variation in the relationship between the incidence of CC and socioeconomic indicators showed that socioeconomic status had a greater effect over the incidence of CC in some locations than in others. That is to say, the dynamic of the illness was highly correlated to the context under which women lived \[[@CR36]\]. In our results, the RR of CC showed substantial spatial variation over the state of SLP, some municipalities with similar RR tended to occupy adjacent locations on the map and some municipalities with high RR tended to be located next to low ones, such as Ahualulco, Tamazunchale and Tierra Nueva. One interpretation of the previous information could be that variations in territorial distribution lead to a stratification of advantages or disadvantages for women in terms of decisions for health care across SLP state. The affecting factor seems to be more related to access to health care services. About that, WHO \[[@CR37]\] states that the place where we live affects our health and our chances of having a prosperous life. This recognition led to the United Nations Development Programme, UNDP to emphasize local human development, which is to recognize that the place where one lives, conditions or sometimes determines factors such as; when people cannot migrate, plus welfare levels, as location facilitates or limits our access to various resources that make possible our development as human beings. Although the place of residence is not destined, it does represent a set of locational effects that limit or facilitate our development. WHO recognises that the deprived health of the poor, the social gradient in health within a locality, region, state, country and important health inequalities are caused by the unequal distribution of power, income, goods and services that are affecting living conditions \[[@CR37]\]. Secondly that there will often be broad regional processes, whether social, economic or environmental, which ensure that the disease incidence in one small area is similar to the one in neighbouring areas. For example, if this wider region has quite uniform levels of poverty, we can expect rates of some diseases to be higher than in neighbouring small areas that make up the region, like the south and southeast region in our study. It is possible that there exists a socio-spatial determination \[[@CR38]\]. The spatial variation in CC's distribution pattern in the SLP state is associated with the differences in the covariates' territorial distribution: unemployment, single female, marginalisation, coverage of CCPS and accessibility to medical attention units. These are key components of the women´s living conditions. Cheng et al. demonstrated just the same pattern by showing a locally varying relation between CC incidence and low social status, including unemployment \[[@CR35]\]. Unemployed women use health services less frequently or they do not use them at all, which could explain the low opportunity of timely prevention and detection of the illness. Furthermore, Tirado's et al. \[[@CR9]\] case--control study pointed out that a low socioeconomic level (RMp = 10.8) is a factor associated with increasing the probability of developing CC in Mexican women. In this regard, although six years of education could empower women in terms of decision-making, regarding health and job opportunities, 69 % of Mexican women who died of CC had no formal education \[[@CR39]\]. Other studies report that the southeast of the SLP state is characterised by high marginalisation and poverty \[[@CR7]\]. This marginalisation index combines nine variables that show some degree of correlation and a tendency to concentrate in non-urban zones, where marginalisation levels are usually higher; these zones are characterised by unemployment and the lowest education level \[[@CR5]\]. Low educational achievements limit access to health services and therefore to early detection of illness, such as early detection of CC through the Pap smear (actually HPV DNA screening-testing), and treatment when the disease is in early stages \[[@CR39]\]. In relation to this, if a health need is not recognized, the motivation to meet this need is therefore non-existent and as a result, the process of seeking health care is not initiated. This situation contrasts with, high educational achievements which contribute directly to better health along with the possibility of participating wholly in a productive society and utilising health care services. Employment and stable job opportunities could also improve the health of women by guaranteeing access to health services \[[@CR40]\]. This should be taken into account so that CC preventive programmes are directed to this high-risk area particularly in frequency, follow-up and control of the actions to be taken. Most importantly, distribution of health service resources should be related consistently to the distribution of CC risk. As such, the programme must consider the spatial dynamics of this health risk. With respect to single females, our results show that this covariate was significant to the distribution of the RR of CC. In the Cheng et al. \[[@CR35]\] study, it showed that the proportion of single females is part of the set of socioeconomic covariates used in the Townsend index that accounts for socioeconomic conditions and, low social status of population contributing to CC incidence with spatial differences. One study in Low-Income Countries showed that being single was a variable significantly associated with a reduced likelihood of a pap smear being taken \[[@CR41]\]. This suggests that single female status might be related to a lower possibility of obtaining a pap smear and in turn, the early detection of VPH-AR or early stages of CC illness. In addition, one of the most important factors to decrease CC incidence is an increase in prevention strategies and early detection. Our results show spatial variation in the relation between incidence and coverage of CCSP across SLP state. The aim of the screening programme is to detect abnormal or cancerous cells at an early stage of the disease, and can increase the chances of detecting cancerous cells sufficiently early to lower the incidence rate and thus, the likelihood of survival may be increased \[[@CR42], [@CR43]\]. However, some other factors could be impeding women´s access to health services such as: lack of basic socioeconomic resources, location of the medical attention unit, clinic service hours, costs, migration or change of residence, and organised detection programmes not existing. Also cultural barriers e.g. for Indigenous women or not indigenous. The population in south east of SLP state, registers a high presence of indigenous women (145,860 total of indigenous women), which is distributed in the 20 municipalities of the southeast area \[[@CR1]\]. However difficulties exist in the recording of health indicators (morbidity and mortality). In addition, socioeconomic status, location, and if the woman presenting to the CCSP is indigenous are not recorded. Therefore in the Mexican health service there is no official data for CC in indigenous women. A contribution of this study, from the perspective of health geography is that it provides a solid basis for making clear the need to support a proposal for improvement: namely, there is a need to have a database record that includes the socioeconomic conditions of the patients, pinpointing where they live, their behaviour, knowledge of prevention, and determinate cultural characteristics, for CC. One of the factors that makes this theme a complex research area is that although there are negative cultural factor influences within the indigenous population regarding submitting to the pap smear test, in practice it is seen to be a general resistance regardless of whether the individual is indigenous or not. Our data suggests that a very high proportion of the target population (73.29 %) from SLP state have low accessibility to public service medical attention units (SPSSA). Women who live in municipalities in the northwest and southeast of SLP have very low accessibility to a CC prevention programme or early detection and management of patients with CC (treatment and control services, such as oncomedicine, oncosurgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy). The only medical attention unit certified as an oncological centre and where all dysplasia cases are referred to is the Hospital Central (Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto), which is located in the metropolitan area of SLP city and ranks 5th according to the index of accessibility calculated in our study. For most of the women inhabiting the inner SLP states, far removed from the state capital, this hospital is not a viable option for early detection and treatment, before the illness evolves to advanced stages. As demonstrated, CC has a high chance of cure if detected early and treated accordingly \[[@CR1]\]. The SLP municipalities in the southeast and north are disadvantaged regarding the equipment for providing prevention, early detection, treatment and control of all positive cases detected early, for the dysplasia process. Therefore, the medical units are unable to meet the demand generated in their respective areas of influence, for instance, in the southeast, where our study found the highest concentration of municipalities with high risk. As Garrocho and Campos \[[@CR12]\] and Hernández et al. \[[@CR44]\] point out, the distribution and localisation of satisfactory health services represents a condition of advantages and disadvantages to users and that is why it is a key determinant in the population's health-sickness process. A high level of CCSP has been the key element in decreasing CC incidence and mortality rates in countries with well-established detection programmes \[[@CR45]\]. High levels of coverage of eligible women have principally been achieved in developed countries, for example, the UK´s CC screening programme reported that CC can be prevented by about 75 % provided that women periodically attend screening \[[@CR35]\]. Finland is another example of a country with a well organised screening programme, where 72 % of women receive invitations to participate in the Pap screening \[[@CR3]\]. In Mexico, as reported by the Ministry of Health, Pap coverage is less than 25 %. One study indicates that the use of HPV testing in combination with a Pap smear could be a cost-effective alternative for CC screening, and should focus on regions with low levels of Pap test coverage, a lack of health care infrastructure and rural and economically disadvantaged communities \[[@CR3]\]. Currently, having recognised the poor effectiveness of the Mexican cytology programme, the governmental "Seguro Popular" (a health insurance for low-income citizens) recently introduced an alternative CCSP based on HR- HPV testing for affiliated women aged 35--64 years but it does not cover women younger than 35 years of age \[[@CR6]\]. Screening younger women is an issue to be noted. In the UK the number of cases with Cervical Intra-epithelial Neoplasia (CIN3) has increased for women aged between 20 and 24 years because of trends in sexual behaviour. According to the National Health Service (NHS), increasing numbers of young females are becoming sexually active when they are still in their mid-teens and there is a poor use of cervical cancer screening resources \[[@CR35]\]. According to our Mexico results, women younger than 25 years old had fewer screening opportunities for timely CC detection. The Age-Standardised Rate (ASR) of CC for younger than 25 years old was 7.62. Allen-Leigh et al. \[[@CR46]\] showed that in 2012, 31.2 % of 15--19 years old adolescent Mexican women had undergone their sexual debut. A high percentage of these adolescents (52.2 %) reported not using a condom at their last sexual intercourse, and women in rural areas reported a lower percentage of using a condom. Note that sexual relations before 20 years of age is a modifying or avoiding risk factor \[[@CR6], [@CR9]\]. It explains the transcendence of coverage of CCSP for this population group in Mexico and also that sex education needs to improve in local schools, teaching mid-teen pupils about protective sex, because one key factor to modify or avoid CC risk, is the sexually transmitted HPV infection. The contribution of socioeconomic factors to CC incidence is clear but it is also evident that in order to achieve a significant decrease in mortality rates, there is a need for a geo-referenced database system of CC cases, with full territorial coverage to allocate resources to make spatially accessible and equitable prevention services that could eventually reduce CC mortality rates. Unfortunately, the current Mexican CCSP organization does not consider the spatial variation of CC incidence. Expanding the coverage of the CCSP, taking into consideration the spatial variation (i.e. spatial variation that cannot be ascribed to known, spatially varying risk-factors) could therefore improve health education and promote strategies for CC prevention, early detection and management, aimed at increasing women´s knowledge, thereby reducing CC incidence and mortality in SLP and other Mexican states. The type of medical attention unit (first, second, or third) depends on the size of the population. Resources assignment is through each jurisdiction. It is obvious that there is no consistency between the localisation of Health services and the needs of population in term of the spatiality of this health issue (CC). Spatiality has two key elements: determinations (economic, political, ideological, etc.) and existing factors i.e. accessibility \[[@CR47]\]. On the other hand, there is a territorial reality which makes decisions making complex as far as population health care and needs are concerned. There is reflected in many places with migrating and disperse population: a challenge for public policies. It is important to point out that the highest percentage of population is concentrated in urban areas but living in urban area does not guarantee the absence of marginalisation. There are many observable deficiencies in the current CCSP coverage capacity. Accessibility to comprehensive prevention services CC is a territorial indicator to differentiate its application areas and help preventing women from getting sick/dying from CC, highly preventable health problem. The WHO indicates accessibility to health care as an international key objective in meeting the health needs of the population \[[@CR19]\]. Medical care should be accessible and equitable for all people, no matter how much money they have, based on sustainable economic, social, and political attention. Furthermore, the spatial dynamics of this illness (geography of health perspective) should be taken into account while also offering women access to CC education, vaccination and screening or in any given case, with treatment to improve their quality of life. In our research, the GLMM provides a summary of the geographical pattern of CC incidence in SLP state that takes into account spatial variation in socio-economic factors and the accessibility to health services. Research indicates that recognising higher risk areas using the spatial model will help in targeting women to increase the efficiency of CCPS and different risk areas may have different screening intervals and even different screening tests \[[@CR35]\]. Furthermore, GLMM allow recognising patterns of geographical distribution, patterns in small areas and/or little frequent pathologies. In addition, small area analysis tends to reduce ecological fallacy. This is consistent with previous literature that concluded that associations over a set of geographical areas do not necessarily imply that these factors apply to individuals \[[@CR25], [@CR26], [@CR38], [@CR48]\]. As previously advocated, it is necessary to integrate the geographic dynamics of this illness in formulating CCSP policies in Mexico \[[@CR12], [@CR49], [@CR50]\]. CC is a preventable illness, since it is a late complication of a persistent infection by HPV and the final result of a chain of events, which may take years to develop to advanced stages. Conclusions {#Sec7} =========== The results from the GLMM make evident an increase in relative risk (RR) in the incidence of CC, in areas with concentration of municipalities that have deficient socioeconomic conditions and low accessibility to services of prevention, early detection, diagnosis and management of CC. This relation varies throughout the territory of SLP state due to the low coverage of CCSP, high marginalisation, and the low accessibility to health services these being important factors in the explanation of spatial patterning of the RR to CC incidence. The geographic variation reflects differences in personal behaviours, local differences, and differences in screening uptake rates by location. As mentioned in the discussion, the political standards that determine the characteristics (location, type, resources, etc.) of medical unit services are not made according to the needs of the population and the spatiality of CC. The evolution of this type of cancer provides a very valuable time period to educate the population about how to prevent the infection of HPV such as a sexually transmitted disease to identify the illness at an early stage. Early detection of the sexually transmitted HPV infection is key to modifying or avoiding this CC risk factor. Furthermore, we find it valuable that the national CCSP takes into account the spatial dynamics of this illness while also offering women better education concerning vaccination, screening or for specific individuals how treatment can improve their quality of life. Accordingly, from the results presented here, this investigation suggests:Considering the living conditions of women under a geographical view.In areas where screening is poor, HPV vaccination should be widespread.Thinking of these research results as guidelines for a subsequent health political action, with priority in areas with a concentration of municipalities with high risk.Creating a geo-referenced database system available at the individual level, which permits a spatial analysis at the individual level (i.e. individual socioeconomic data, behaviour and knowledge about prevention), plus is spatially organized and maximises the benefits of CCSP. Ignoring the spatial variability means to continue a public policy that does not tackle deficiencies in its national CCSP and to keep disadvantaging and disempowering Mexican women in regard to their health care. 2SFCA : Two-step floating catchment area ASR : Age standardised incidence rate BGA : Basic geostatistical areas C53 : Malignant neoplasm of cervix uteri CAR : Conditional autoregressive model CC : Cervical cancer CCSP : Cervical cancer screening programme CHICAS : Combining Health information, computation and statistics CI : Posterior 95 % credible interval CIN3 : Cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia grade III CONAPO : National population council CTS : Communications and transportation secretariat D06 : Carcinoma in situ of cérvix uteri DIC : Deviance information criterion GDP : Gross domestic product GLMM : Generalised linear mixed models HPV : Human papillomavirus HR-HPV : High-risk human papillomavirus IA : Index of accessibility to health services ICD-10 : International classification of diseases-10 INEGI : National Institute of Statistics and Geography INLA : Integrated nested laplace approximations ISCIII : Carlos III Institute of Health MI : Marginalisation index MU : Medical unit NHS : National health service OR : Odds ratio PI : Positive screening index PP : Posterior probabilities RR : Relative risk SF : Single female SICAM : Mexican women´s cancer information system SIR : Standardise incidence ratio SLP : San Luis Potosí SPSSA : Public service of the SSA SSA : State health services UAEM : Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México UASLP : Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí UK : United Kingdom UNAM : Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México UNDP : United Nations Developments Programme WHO : World Health Organization The authors are grateful to Peter J.

Scoring chance wasted Province would have recouped AHL investment Had St. John’s somehow managed to land the 2013 world women’s hockey championship, a 10- or 12-day tournament, the provincial government was prepared to prop up the local organizing committee with a $200,000 shot in the arm. Yet the folks on Confederation Hill have snubbed their noses at $500,000 for an American Hockey League team in St. John’s, a move that may scuttle a proposal that would see the Manitoba Moose relocate to the capital city next fall. For the record, the movers and shakers connected with the Moose-to-St. John’s deal maintain there is no agreement in place. The Telegram has learned it’s signed, sealed and, well, not quite delivered. The holdup is this little thing going on in Winnipeg, where the imminent NHL transfer of the Atlanta Thrashers to Manitoba has yet to be announced. Once that happens, the AHL’s Moose will be on their way to St. John’s where Danny Williams will be paying the relocation fee, a guaranteed amount to Mark Chipman’s True North Sports and Entertainment, who retain ownership of the team for the time being, and absorbing any losses the new St. John’s franchise might incur. There were a few hurdles to overcome here in St. John’s. One was a lease agreement with Mile One Centre, but given St. John’s Sports and Entertainment’s yearning for an anchor tenant — all the better it’s the AHL — that hasn’t provided much of an obstacle. Even SJSE will admit, privately, this is the city’s best — and perhaps only — chance at the AHL again. Given the emerging cost of travel, and the fact the new St. John’s team will be on the hook subsidizing incoming AHL teams, just like the early years of the St. John’s Maple Leafs, some provincial money will be required. Hurdle? Obstacle? Try Mount Kilimanjaro. But should we be surprised? Not really. This has nothing to do with a lousy 500 grand that could be dubbed a subsidy, grant, economic development or whatever. It has nothing to do with the fact the government will get its money back, and then some (some at City Hall suggest a $10-million economic spinoff from an AHL team isn’t out of the question). Unlike the $160,000 the provincial government gave to something called the Atlantic Studios Co-operative Wednesday. A co-op that, get this, has one permanent employee, apparently. No, this has everything to do with Kathy Dunderdale, the current premier, and the ongoing rift with Danny Williams, the former premier. Funny, but is there anyone out there who really, truly believes Dunderdale would be plunked in the premier’s chair if not for Williams? Anyway, back to the point: selling the idea of handing public money over to pro sports has always been a dicey proposition. But only if it were that simple. The reality is government was getting a return on this investment, directly through the tax on AHL ticket sales, and indirectly through the spinoff generated by the team. There is a host of examples for the economic spinoff that could be derived from the American Hockey League: • a payroll in the $2 million to $3 million range for the new St. John’s team • increased hotel room occupancies during winter, the low season in the industry • more staff for Mile One, meaning more money circulating through the community • out-of-town visitors dropping good money in the city each weekend • a boost to a downtown that’s not exactly bursting at the seams And we’re only scratching the surface when it comes to money generated. Money, by the way, from which the province gets a cut. But this makes no difference to the crowd who will cry ‘No dough for hockey!’ regardless of the positive arguments. No difference that a game or two on CBC’s Sunday afternoon AHL broadcasts, viewed nation-wide, would cost 10 times the price of those provincial government ads. No, this is all about Danny Millions. He’s good for it, right? And on the eighth floor of Confederation Building, one can’t help think an attitude of one-upmanship resonates through the corridors. Can there be any other plausible explanation? With "Republic of Doyle" getting a million and a half dollars? Countless grants going to local entertainers, professionals in their own right? With the province as financially well-off today as its ever been, and that coming on Williams’s watch, ironically enough? Noone really knows if this deal is dead, but you can be sure Williams is very pissed. He will either dig in his heels, and come up with the money. Or he’ll walk, and one close associate of Williams said Wednesday afternoon he wouldn’t be surprised if it was the latter. Either way, time is of the essence, as they say. Any day now, and the Atlanta-to-Winnipeg deal will be announced. Shortly afterwards, Chipman and True North Sports will want an answer from St. John’s. If it’s ‘Thanks, but no thanks’, Mile One may as well pack up the glass and boards, strip down the ice plant and sell the works of it. Comments Comments Your name*Email*Comment* Recent comments David May 27, 2011 - 08:03 How did we get to a world where the public provides the venue, then forks over subsidy money to coerce someone to use it, and people think this is in the LEAST bit sensible? We do not live in a world where we have no other issues, or problems, or unlimited resources...Yet, with health care slowly crumbling around our ears, we think that letting people watch a hockey game in a fancy arena is a genuine priority. Seriously, what kind of society prioritizes professional sports ahead of basic services and infrastructure? Have we all lost our collective minds? While a long time NHL hockey fan (and having never gone to see a game at Mile One when we had the St. john's Maple Leafs), it seems to me that IF (and that's a big if) it make's good economic sense (at the provincial level) to provide 500K per year to bring a AHL team to the PROVINCE, then perhaps it should be done. How could that economic analysis have been done by the province in less than a 24 hour period? Surely, like any other business venture, if there is a significant, positive economic benefit to NL taxpayer (to the province), then do the analysis, and if it clear that overall it is a good thing, then why not invest in a sporting economic activity when we do it for paper mills, drilling oil wells, fish plants, theater production, TV shows, etc. WHile I know there are other good uses for 500K, if the economic spinoff is significant, that would help provide more money into the provincial economy so that there would be even more money for other, more social, uses. Mark, your grasp of economics is poor. It causes you to advance arguments that have no validity. I understand of course that not everyone is an economist. (If you're interested in a quick explanation of the economics, you might look at my comment following the original story in the Telegram.) More worrisome is that your grasp of ethics is equally poor. You imply quite clearly that Dunderdale should approve the subsidy if for no other reason than she owes her job as Premier to Danny Williams. No doubt she does owe her job to Williams. For that matter we are all probably indebted to Williams to some degree (although there will be dissenters on that point). While I don't agree with everything he said and did, he undoubtedly left the province in better shape than he found it. But that is no argument in favour of the subsidy any more than if the request was coming, directly or indirectly, from Brian Peckford, Clyde Wells, Brian Tobin or Roger Grimes. Nor I hope would any of these ex-leaders expect preferential treatment. The lack of economic merit (which by the way is materially different from local film production supports) extends not only to this subsidy but to the original decision to build the stadium. Andy Wells and his out-of-control council approved it despite the resounding economic advice against it. Since then the City has struggled to hide the true extent of the burden it placed on city taxpayers. O'Keefe and Breen would now like to spread that burden across the entire Province with the help of cheerleaders like Robin Short. Indeed one of the other posters, Chris, goes so far as to claim the Province would go under if it wasn't for St. John's. If it's any comfort Robin, his ignorance of economics is worse than your own. The fact is, of course, that the very existence of this city is owed to the extraction and processing of natural resources everywhere in this province but St. John's. Indeed St. John's is lucky to be the repository of a huge arrary of governmental, institutional and commercial services made possible by, and intended for, the entire population of the province. Please don't insult the intelligence of people beyond the overpass by suggesting that the privilege is theirs, not ours. Jehovah It's obvious you do not know anythig about economics; this is a missed opportunity; nobody including Mr Short whomakes great points must realize that Mile One ireceived a subsidy from the cityy. With a major tenent it would help to reduce that subsidy. When you look at the big picture an AHL teamwould have many other spinoffs. Newfoundlanders enjoy white elephants. Mr. French made that decision because it ius an election year. This is sad commentary. Robin, I agree with the silliness of the province not putting some petty cash forward but feel you are uninformed regarding Atlantic Studios Cooperative. I own a local marketing firm and rent lighting/film gear from the ASC frequently. The Co-op framework allows us to rent gear for a very affordable cost and thus gives the local TV/film industry a boost. Bob Petrie (Director & Producer of Pigeon Inlet and major supplier for Doyle) runs the Co-op and has had to rely on well-worn gear and a shoe-string budget for years. This 160k will be put to practical use and invested in much-needed equipment to ensure the NL TV/film industry has access to the industry-standard tools it needs - Bob is a business man and runs a tight ship. Joe How come nobody is talking about the fact this will be a 3 year deal and then they are moving to Thunder Bay! Google search Anthony Leblanc. So we are expected to support a short term deal with taxpayer dollars and then the team is going to move to Thunder Bay when their new building is ready! R U Kidding Me? A St. John's resident May 26, 2011 - 13:30 Not a bit bias, are we now, Robin? I guess it wouldn't have anything to do with that you personally love hockey. Well, here's one St. John's citizen who don't want their tax dollars going to finance a hockey team. I have to pay extra money for electricity, extra money for Re-cycling, the city is putting bicycle lanes in front of your house so you have no where to park and all the city is worried about is a hockey team. Neither the other two teams we had worked so, what makes this team any different.. Danny Breen better be careful because come election, he may go the way of his brother, hopefully with a few more of these councillors getting the boot. The government is doing the right thing. They're speaking for all citizens not just "Hockey fans". The population of Newfoundland as of Oct 2010 was 509 200. People are complaining about the tax dollars to subsidy a Professional Hockey team. If everyone could imagine it as donating $1/year to have a team, would it be worth it? Yes, you know it would be. And people are complaining about paying a couple extra dollars in taxes a year to pay for this. Most of the complaints here are those who don't want a team, or could careless about the industry or don't enjoy it.. Now the government flat out said no deal, but annually, they can raise taxes on tobacco and alcohol. Everyone complains but nothing happens. People continue to buy the tobacco and alcohol because they need it, or ENJOY it....Then this extra money made from taxes goes towards the province. Who in their right mind wouldn't spend roughly $500 000 knowing that they would make approx. $10 000 000, $5 000 000 or even $3 000 000. The government could use this money towards roads, hospitals, homecare, and for individuals who need medical assiatance and can not afford it. To not spend this money is a bad decision by the Dunderdale party. You have to spend money to make money. But this is their decision. However, continue to raise taxes on tobacco and alcohol every year and we should be ok. And for those of you who don't enjoy either products, you have bought this stuff for special occasions/ gifts. Thererfore, you already spent those few extra dollars this year in taxes which could have been a full season of professional hockey. This could provide your son/daughter, husband or wife with a job in the province and will get more people off of unemployment and the province would be banking even more more.Think about it.... Why don't people realize that if it wasn't for St. John's the whole province would go under. All you keep talking about is that it is only beneficial for St. John's and the Municipal Government which makes no sense what so ever. The more money St. John's brings in, the more goes out to the rest of the province. St. John's is the engine that turns the wheels, the stronger it gets, the faster the province will grow! JEHOVAH, apparently your reasoning is off as well. Hockey fans in this Province tend to spend money in NHL cities by taking trips to watch hockey. The 'negative' in their home towns already exists and instead of paying more money on flights to Toronto, etc, they now may just make the short drive to St Johns and spend the money there. Our Government wastes so much money on countless business proposals and grants to companies with ZERO economic benefit, but because the money is budgeted to that Department, it is spent. That money cannot be 'transferred' to Recreation, Healthcare, etc. This proposal was rejected instantly, with no thought gone into the economic benefits to the Province, and without a comment from our Premier. What a good Leader we have....PATHETIC Rob - my reasoning may be off, but not for the reason you cite. Your supposition that hockey fans who travel to cities like Montreal or Toronto or Boston to see a team that they obviously have a passion for, will now forgo those trips to go see MINOR league hockey and a farm team to which they have no loyalty is a little dubious. And to justify what would be a bad decision (funding AHL hockey) based on the fact that government makes other bad decisions doesn't have a lot of logic. jerry rubia May 26, 2011 - 10:24 well i can see everyone is pleased with the decision that came down about helping out the ahl coming to town . but i have another way it could be done and with the amount of tax that we all get nailed with as it is my suggestion may not be all that bad. in 2001 here in green bay wisconsin it was voted and with alot of hard work was passed a half percent sale's tax on everything from cars to going out to what ever, u get where iam going i hope. in a little over ten years this city of green bay and the brown county area total pop of just over 200,000 has paid off 295 million dollar renovation to the stadium. all iam saying is a half percent sales tax isnt going to hurt , so why not go about it that way and tell the provincial goverment to half a nice day in not soi many words. just thought i would float that idea. EuroGuy May 26, 2011 - 10:55 Well said Rob, and Jehovah also seems to forget that the salary to the players and team staff is 'new money' coming to the local economy. Get your priorities straight May 26, 2011 - 09:26 Has anybody thought of approaching the hotels, downtown businesses and fans asking for them to pay the subsidy? No? Gee, I wonder why.... For what it's worth I don't want my tax dollars used for a pro sports team either. But Robin Short makes a good point. Why should government be handing out our money to T.V. shows, cultural groups, or any other entertainment endeavor. Whether it's a pro hockey team, a week long conference or a new software company, the subsidies are given to enhance economic growth and create jobs. There are numerous companies receiving grants and loans from the NL Government to help grow there business and add to our economy. Maybe one of the nay sayers can post a comment on this site and explain the difference. As far as I can see this is just another example of the government takng the polically correct high road with our aging population and our growing unsportsmanlike NL society. Yes of course, the lousy 500 grand (as Short refers to) per year is all the team needs by way of a subsidy. What happens if after a year or two, the lousy 500 grand isn't enough, and the franchise says that unless it gets an increase in the subsidy, they're out of here? Personally, I would rather see the 500 grand a year spent on recreational facilities around the province. This would pay big dividends in increased physical fitness for the kids and adults, lowering the obesity levels and cutting back on health care costs, a win win in my humble opinion. If the downtown bars, restaurants and hotels want the team, let them subsidize it, afterall they are the parties with most to gain. I thought you were supposed to be a "sports writer", all of a sudden you are a political analyst. I don't want any of my tax dollars going to a hockey team when there are more urgent needs for a half a million a year. I don't care what the spin is, if Mark Chipman wants this team to play in St. Johns, he will find a way. My understanding of Breen's comment is the subsidy would be annual, not just a one-shot contribution. Another thing, it would'nt bring out of town money 'each weekend' unless you have an advance schedule. Robin - stick to Sports as Economics is clearly not your thing! For this AHL subsidy to be beneficial to the province, and not just St. John's, there would have to be more of a result than just recirculating money that already exists here in the province. If we don't have AHL hockey to spend our $26.50 per game, guess what? - that money does get buried in the backyard and never get spent, it gets spent on other things like beer, chips, vegetables, gas, night at the movies, etc, etc, etc. The spin-off effect is the same (except govt didn't spend the $500k per year). And while AHL hockey might produce a spin-off in St. John's from out-of-towners, it would also produce a corresponding negative in their home towns, with a net zero overall effect for the province. | Mid | [

303 P.2d 1110 (1956) A. Holmes RICHARDS, Plaintiff in Error, v. AMERICAN SECURITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a corporation, Defendant in Error. No. 37260. Supreme Court of Oklahoma. November 20, 1956. Bryan Billings, Woodward, for plaintiff in error. William R. Burkett, Woodward, for defendant in error. *1111 PER CURIAM. This action was brought by the plaintiff in error to recover the amount of the payments authorized under the terms of a hospitalization insurance policy issued him by the defendant in error. Liability was denied by the defendant in error who relied on the following policy provision: "* * * hospital confinement * * * resulting from sickness the cause of which originates while this policy is in force and more than fifteen days after the date hereof," it being the defendant in error's position that the cause of the sickness did not originate while the policy was in force. The policy was issued June 25, 1953. A doctor testifying for the plaintiff in error stated that in January, 1952, he operated to remove a cataract from the right eye of the plaintiff in error; that he had examined him in November 1951, and again in January and April 1952, and that there was no cataract on the patient's eye at that time although the vision of the left eye was only 20/30 due to sclerosis of the lens; that the patient gave a history of difficulty in reading with his left eye; that in September 1954, he examined the plaintiff in error once more and discovered a cataract on the left eye which he removed in November 1954; that none of the examinations prior to September 1954, disclosed a need for hospitalization because of the condition of the patient's left eye. Another doctor, testifying for the defendant in error, stated that from his examination of the plaintiff in error in December 1952, it was his opinion that the man had an incipient cataract; that when he first examined him in September 1950, his vision in the left eye was 20/25 but that on the subsequent examination it had deteriorated to 20/25-2 or 20/30; that "he would hate to say definitely" that the patient had a senile cataract on the left eye at that time but that a cataract was developing; that "there is practically no difference between a sclerosed lens and a cataracted lens, only just in the degree of maturity. A beginning cataract and a sclerosed lens are practically the same thing. I don't know how you would differentiate"; that the loss of vision in the left eye was attributable to this condition and was such as to be noticeable to the patient; that "you can tell when they are started, yes, but you never know when they are going to start;" that the progress of a cataract is not always the same but that he reasonably expected this one would develop and require surgery; that no surgery or hospitalization was needed in December 1952. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff in error insists that his motion for a directed verdict should have been sustained on the theory that the evidence failed to disclose that the disease had become manifest or active "as a cause of hospital confinement" prior to 15 days from the date of the policy. In the case of Reserve Life Ins. Co. v. Lyle, Okl.Sup., 288 P.2d 717, 718, a policy provision almost identical to that involved herein was considered. The syllabus of the Lyle case stated the rule as follows: "In an insurance policy of express terms covering expense of hospital confinement `resulting from sickness the cause of which originates while this policy is in force,' the sickness is deemed to have its inception when the sickness first becomes manifest or active as the cause of the hospital confinement, and not at an earlier time when the medical cause of the sickness may have had its origin." In that case it was urged that a pre-existing arterio-sclerotic condition that might have caused the insured's heart attack came within the terms of the policy exemption. There had been no previous manifestation of the heart trouble, and this court held that the exemption did not apply. Previously, in the case of Mutual Benefit Health & Accident Ass'n v. Ramage, 293 Ky. 586, 169 S.W.2d 624, from which we cited with approval in American Ins. Co. of Texas v. Brown, 203 Okl. 407, 222 P.2d 757, 759, it was stated that "the disease originates when it becomes active or there exists a *1112 distinct symptom or condition from which one learned in medicine can with reasonable accuracy diagnose the disease. * * *" In the Brown case the insured's illness was a functional nervous condition that might have antedated the policy but had not caused any ill effects until nearly a year after the date of the policy. There too recovery was allowed. However, in no case cited to us or discovered by us has a recovery by a directed verdict been permitted where there was a conflict in the medical testimony in which one of the medical witnesses had diagnosed the specific disease from its symptoms at a time prior to the policy date. A motion for a directed verdict is not authorized where there is any evidence or reasonable inferences therefrom which would tend to support a verdict for the party against whom it is directed. In the instant case, considering the defendant in error's medical testimony in the light most favorable to it, we cannot say that there was no evidence upon which reasonable men might differ as to whether the cataract in the insured's left eye had manifest itself prior to the policy date by a distinct symptom or condition from which one learned in medicine could with reasonable accuracy diagnose the specific ailment which was thereafter the cause of the hospital confinement. Thus, it was not error to overrule the motion for a directed verdict. The plaintiff in error also complains of the instructions. His specific complaint is directed to instruction No. 4 given by the court. This instruction is substantially the same as the plaintiff in error's own requested instruction No. 4 which was the only one of his five requested instructions that was not given exactly as tendered to the court. This instruction merely pointed out that the only material question of fact unresolved by the parties' admissions was the question of when the illness first manifest itself. After quoting the policy provision, the court continued: "* * * the sole question for you to decide is, did the cause of the sickness * * * arise * * *" before the policy date. This phrase was thereafter adequately explained by the court's instruction No. 6 in which it was pointed out that "it speaks of an active state of illness * * * which manifests itself as the cause of the hospital confinement." (Emphasis supplied.) This is the exact language used in the Lyle case. If the plaintiff in error desired additional instructions on this point he should have requested them, for those given substantially covered the matter and were not prejudicial. The judgment is affirmed. JOHNSON, C.J., WILLIAMS, V.C.J., and CORN, DAVISON, HALLEY, BLACKBIRD, JACKSON and CARLILE, JJ., concur. The court acknowledges the aid of the Supreme Court Commissioners in the preparation of this opinion. After a tentative opinion was written by Commissioner James H. Nease, and approved by Jean R. Reed and J.W. Crawford, the cause was assigned to a Justice of this Court for examination and report to the Court. Thereafter, upon report and consideration in conference, the foregoing opinion was adopted by the Court. | Low | [

[Indications and concept of follow-up care of home-monitoring for premature and risk infants]. The pros and cons of home monitoring especially for premature infants with continuing apneic episodes and/or chronic lung disease are an ongoing discussion. The controversy spans socio-economic requirements, medical indication as well as patient and family needs. Here, the costs of home monitoring and follow-up care on the one hand and longer hospitalization times on the other need to be considered. This article aims to create a basis for this discussion by summarizing current evidence for the indications and considerations for differential diagnoses while also outlining the established follow-up program for these patients at the Dr. v.

Welcome to DPS Howrah The genesis of a Delhi Public School is an event in itself and the Delhi Public School Howrah is no exception. Like its predecessor, Delhi Public School Megacity, DPS Howrah bears the vision of inculcating in the students the right moral values so that they grow up to be able citizens of tomorrow. DPS Howrah, a CBSE affiliated school, will aim to preserve and enhance the highest standards of excellence and prepare generations for the 21st century. Gallery Messages Mr Vijay Agarwal Pro Vice Chairman When every action taken for a social cause is showered with blessings from the Almighty, it then creates a strong desire to continue working in that direction of serving the society in more ways than one. Having set a premiere DPS in Kolkata it was natural to dare to dream of yet another DPS at Howrah. I strongly believe that education allows us to break the barriers of the walls which have imprisoned our minds. Education allows the mind to break the shackles and spread its wings to conquer the unimaginable, to distinguish between good and evil, to make the right choices, to uphold our value system in order to strengthen the age old culture we belong to. Above all education gives us that unique knowledge to be humble as Humility is the mark of an individual. It makes me extremely happy when DPS Howrah is ranked as the topmost elite school in Howrah. The success of DPS Howrah has inspired me to continue my dream of spreading the light of knowledge even outside West Bengal with DPS Panvel(Mumbai),Credo World School in Dahanu(Maharashtra) amongst others. I hope to walk together with you all on this journey and spread the rays of education in the years to come. Mrs. Sunita Arora Principal DPS Howrah Delhi Public School Howrah has embarked on a clear cut vision of SACH i.e. we believe in Scientific enquiry of mind; Agility of body and mind; Creating, nurturing and preserving nature; Humility, unity and brotherhood. Our vision SACH encompasses these important areas for the holistic development in students. In this digital age we aim at providing activity oriented learning enabling the digital natives i.e. our students to use both dexterity of hand and agility of mind empowering them to be global citizens .Equal importance is given to inculcating the most important virtue in today’s time that is humility. As education along with humility is a mark of a well balanced, cultured individual. I hope our vision of SACH will enable our students to withstand and deal deftly with the rigours of life experiences encountered daily. Rashmi Rastogi HM- Senior School Classes(8-10) We at DPS Howrah aim towards achieving to equip our young minds with the right tools, with which they can carve out a niche for themselves, in the world that is slowly becoming smaller and smaller. The only aspect of education that seems applicable in this light is to teach our students to “Believe in their Capabilities” , and to instill in them extreme faith towards their creator who has made them self sufficient and capable of reaching any levels that they desire, capable of breaking all barriers that life brings forth to them, capable of creating anything that they dream about and capable of overcoming all their fears. Ms Meeta Chakrabarti Headmistress, Middle School Choosing the right school is immensely important, be it when our children first start out and heavily rely on their parents to identify the environment that fits, or at any other stage in our journey of life. As one of the new age schools in this region, DPS Howrah has already made a mark of educational excellence based on firmly embedded values, a passion for learning and an environment which inspires through its sheer diversity. In keeping with our school vision 'SACH' we at DPS Howrah foster outstanding relationships from which students, parents, teachers and staff, draw their ambition to do well and make a lasting contribution to school life and society at large. As the Headmistress of the Middle School section, I feel a real sense of privilege in having the opportunity to be an integral part of the educating fraternity. It is an exciting place to be. It is a school where we subscribe to High Performance Learning, a pedagogy that requires teachers to instil in our students thinking skills and a growth mind-set in an enquiry-based learning environment. These most essential ingredients for success in the 21st century are complemented and enhanced by a rich and diverse extra-curricular programme of sport, music, drama, educational expeditions and many other pursuits, all designed to educate the whole person. Ms Sreyashi Ghosh Headmistress, Pre – Primary Section Enrolling in the formal education system is the first stepping stone towards success in life for a child. In DPSH, we strive to provide an enabling environment to meet the learning needs of children to inculcate the right values and develop skills among them. Through our thoughtful learning curriculum we ensure that each child is presented with intelligent challenges in order to enrich the learning experiences. Interacting with such young and absorbing minds pose a great challenge in itself since each child has their own individual needs and develop their own learning curve. To cater to such challenges several interesting events are developed and implemented to the tiny tots. My journey in this school have been an eventful one…. where I have come across young minds, eager to learn, make a change. It is as if, I have grown along with them. Every year has brought along with it, a galore of challenges and opportunities; expectations and achievements. With every passing year we have tried to incorporate the new and deliver the best but always wrapped in the folds of culture and heritage; love and care. We hope to continue to do the same for the years to come. Manisha Malik Coordinator Pre Primary Every child is genius and unique. We at DPS Howrah motivate and appreciate this uniqueness in each child. We aim to nurture students and recognize the importance of early year’s education to help children grow and develop through age appropriate experiences. The learning may be expressed in a variety of ways through language, play, drama, art, music and movement. We help the children to develop their innate curiosity about the world around them. Children are encouraged to cultivate their imagination and knowledge in order to be in charge of their own learning. Children are motivated to move from known to unknown, concrete to abstract and local to global. Jaita Sen Academic Co ordinator, Primary School Delhi public school, Howrah is an esteemed institution working towards the wellbeing of the children for a brighter tomorrow. Inculcating the right values and infusing within them a sense of responsibility, wisdom, compassion and humility. More than educating the child, it's important to educate the mind. In the present scenario mere books won't help a child. They need complete nourishment, to develop physically, mentally and socially. Only then will they be confident enough to compete with the society and it's growing demands.Dedication andempowerment of all our effort takes place best in a school which believes in refining and are perceptive to the needs of our times and flexible enough to readjust its structures and activities to respond to them. We prioritize the needs of our students and encourage them so that they gain confidence and take initiative to excel in which ever task they undertake. A child-centric environment, which is stimulating and its main purpose, is to help the children to acquire the skills and knowledge they require to become better citizens of tomorrow. A child needs the right guidance and the right mentoring, give them that along with the right tools, and they will build their own castle and rule the world. Sunila P.Bhatia Academic Co-ordinator, Middle School “Develop a passion for learning. If you do , you will never cease to grow.” - Anthony J D’Angelo The purpose of our school is to transfer knowledge and prepare young minds to participate in a Democratic Society . I want to take students at different levels and see them develop together for the betterment of each individual. We are trying to bring greater choice and flexibility in our school. Education means focussing not only on the cognitive but the physical , social and emotional aspect of the student growth. Education is supposed to teach a generation of people to help them become productive members of Society. Education makes one a unique individual , not a conformist, it should furnish with an original spirit to tackle challenges . Priyanka Gupta EC-Coordinator “The quality of life is determined by its activities.” --- Aristotle. We at DPS, Howrah work towards ensuring that the children develop holistically in an environment in which they always feel motivated and are guided to achieve the best in them. Extra - curricular activities are equally important as academics. They not only provide the students with the much needed break from studies but also develop in them time management, patience, resilience, discipline, team spirit, etc. They also serve as one of the best ways to enhance the natural talent in the students. I hope and pray to God that we are able to assist our students in their journey of discovering and achieving their goals and representing our nation globally. I wish that they grow into confident individuals and responsible citizens of the world who are compassionate as well as humble....who give more importance to family than materialistic things.... who believe more in participating than winning..... | Mid | [

Some patients with intracranial aneurysms have a reduced type III/type I collagen ratio. A case-control study. A reduced production of type III collagen has been reported in previous studies to be associated with intracranial aneurysms. The purpose of this prospective case-control study was to assess the possible role of a reduced type III collagen production as a risk factor for having an intracranial aneurysm. The study group consisted of 41 consecutively admitted patients with intracranial aneurysms. Intracranial aneurysms were demonstrated by intraarterial digital subtraction cerebral angiography or during operation. The control group consisted of 41 healthy volunteers matched for age and sex. Fibroblasts were cultured from skin biopsies from patients and control subjects, and the type III/type I collagen ratios were determined. The type III/type I collagen ratios in the controls ranged from 5.5 to 19.8%, with a median ratio of 10%, and none had a ratio below 5.5%. The type III/type I collagen ratios in patients ranged from 1.1 to 25.1%, with a median ratio of 10.5%, and eight patients (19.5%) had a low (< 5.5%) ratio (p = 0.005, Fisher's exact test). Our findings support the hypothesis that a reduced production of type III collagen may contribute to the formation of intracranial aneurysms in some patients. | High | [

It takes a certain magic to lose an audience within the simplistic grandeur of a world almost far-removed from the rest of civilization; to educate in the ways of your forefathers with little in the way of preachiness; to allow those age-old traditions sing in near-perfect harmony. Yet, for all these sublime touches Pema Tseden conjures with effortless ease here on “Sacred Arrow”, his morality tale of pseudo-sportsman rivalry broiling over into village life deals little in the way of actual conflict, and at times feels more like the enabling of immature, petty squabbling between two siblings who simply need a clipping behind the ears. So why then are we so captivated by what is unfolding before our eyes? “The Sacred Arrow” screened at Festival des Cinémas d’Asie de Vesoul The centuries-old archery competition between Lhalong and Damo villages determines more than just the superior archer but is also a vital passage into adulthood for the young males who reside here. After Nyima (Sonam Nyima) bests his Lhalong counterpart Dradong (Renqing Dunzhu) in this year’s tournament his opponent struggles to fathom his loss and, with his pride in the wind, proceeds to exert his dominance with a thuggish rashness not unlike humiliated teenagers tend to exhibit. Whether it is through brute force or cheating Dradong continually falls at every self-inflicted hurdle whereas even his younger peers show more maturity and grace in defeat as children. At a time of ritualistic performances involving both communities we see the consequences his actions have on those around him, until his faith in himself and his clan has been all but tarnished. It is not until he reaches rock bottom does he embrace the traditions his father (Lobsang Chospel) and village chief (Dobskyab) hold in high esteem in time for a final qualifier between him and Nyima for representation in an international tournament. With very little complexity and even less development of character sans Dradong’s glacial coming-of-age, “Sacred Arrow” makes for an easily digestible watch; there is safety and comfort to be found within the overly familiar story – one which many films of this ilk chose to envelope themselves in – which is precisely where the issue with the Tseden’s film lies. For all the quarrelling and vitriol instigated by Dradong (and Nyima’s endless patience and humouring) there is very little depth to these tensions beside hurt pride; given how this rivalry serves as the bulk of the films it renders the plot a little underwhelming no matter how heartfelt the underlying message is. As we see our lead fall from grace through every careless decision he makes Dunzhu does well to breathe the very frustration misguiding his character, it is just a shame very little is done with it. The simplistic, one-dimensional nature of the plot is mirrored elsewhere but this is where the film begins to shine. Sacrificing story for a calm visual aesthetic and a focus on the minutiae of ritual and ceremony, Tseden presents a meditative portrait of Tibetan life composed through beautifully shot sequences almost stretched beyond a physical dimension. DP Luo Pan allows every breath of the world around him to fill every frame through the multiple vignettes dotted throughout the film, whether that’s the women making bread, the men chopping wood, or the masked dancing at the ceremony’s peak – even the archery itself is presented with such breathtaking fashion; coupled with Ricky Ho’s sweeping score this relatively simplistic film is elevated to something altogether more mythical and enchanting. This added impact is pushed further by the heavy leaning on history and storytelling itself: passed down by generations the story of the anti-Buddhist King Langdarma’s assassination at the hands of Lhalung Pelgyi Dorje holds significance in the villages’ origins and their archery tournament. The scene showing Chospel’s father figure educating his youngest son on the link between the masked dance and archery – and on the importance of fetching dimensions – not only provides a touching moment of bonding between father and son but also emphasizes the film’s greatest strength – the preservation of a history and an existence threatened by the omnipotent encroaching of modern technology and Western influence. Though this symbolism becomes a little on the nose later on (the advances of modernisation versus traditional spiritual practice) but here it is used to great effect. It might be just a little ironic that a film severely lacking in profound storytelling and cardboard-cut-out acting (though not from the younger cast, who are a delight to watch) redeems itself in the successive passing down of myths and legends. The quiet ruminations seem very far removed from the hustle-and-bustle of the modern life architecture and both Tseden and Pan not only manage to find life in every breath but also draw it out into a harmonious existence. By keeping things (sometimes painfully) simple, “Sacred Arrow” provides the rarest moments of tranquillity, of peace, only to those who allow themselves to see past its initial premise – which is, quite frankly, a fair trade. | Mid | [

Effects of aldehyde dehydrogenase genotypes on carotid atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic diseases are thought to be less frequent in Asians compared with Caucasians. Unlike Caucasians, nearly half of Asians have a functional deficiency in the low Km aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2), a key enzyme in alcohol metabolism, which potentially modifies the prevalence of atherosclerosis. This study examined the associations between ALDH2 genotypes ("typical homo," "hetero" or "atypical homo") and carotid atherosclerosis in 304 Japanese patients. As a measure of carotid atherosclerosis, plaque score (PS) was evaluated by B-mode ultrasonography. Age- and sex-adjusted PS was lower in "atypical homo" genotype patients (2.7 +/- 1.2 [mean +/- standard error], n=21) (p<0.05) and tended to be lower in "hetero" patients (4.5 +/- 0.5, n=116) (p=0.07) compared with "typical homo" patients (5.7 +/- 0.4, n=167). When we controlled for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and alcohol intake, the "atypical homo" genotype was found to be associated with lower PS (beta=-0.13, p<0.05). Based on these findings, the ALDH2 genotypes seem to be associated with the severity of carotid atherosclerosis, potentially modifying the prevalence of atherosclerosis in Asians. | High | [

IN MAY, WORLD Rugby moved to clarify a number of laws ahead of the World Cup, focusing on the straight feed at scrum time, challenges for the ball in the air, players joining mauls correctly and contact with the neck. “Every time the head or the neck is deliberately grabbed or choked, the offending player runs the risk of receiving a yellow or red card,” said the World Rugby statement following a meeting of the Laws Representation Group in April. Cleanouts around the neck must be penalised. Match officials should work together to ensure that foul play is strictly penalised and that player welfare is paramount.” It’s a point that has proved to be particularly notable in the refereeing of Test matches in the last few months, match officials clearly acting under World Rugby’s directives to do their best to eradicate tackling and rucking around the neck. A fortnight ago, Ireland conceded three points against Scotland for the below rucking action from hooker Sean Cronin. The call in this instance was made by assistant referee Marius Mitrea around 20 metres away over on Ireland’s left touchline, rather then referee Pascal Gauzère, who was within three metres of the ruck. It’s a fine spot from Mitrea and it’s difficult to argue with his assessment of the situation when we see Cronin bound around the neck of Scotland centre Peter Horne. Gauzère paused the match clock after awarding the penalty in order to give Cronin a warning. Your cleanout is around the neck,” said the French referee. “It’s just a penalty. Be careful. Cleanout around the neck.” No card, but a penalty seemed to be an entirely accurate and fair call from the match officials. Good refereeing and a strong application of the clarification World Rugby had made earlier this summer? Paulie penalised Paul O’Connell was penalised for what assistant referee Luke Pearce perceived to be the same offence during Ireland’s defeat to Wales on Saturday, the English match official bringing the play to referee Craig Joubert’s attention. Similarly to the Cronin example above, referee Joubert – close to the action – didn’t notice any infringement himself, with Pearce on the far left touchline instead highlighting O’Connell’s actions. As the guy in the blue scrum cap (Justin Tipuric) is trying to get the ball, he gets neck rolled off it,” Pearce tells Joubert once he has got the South African’s attention and halted play. “Penalty only?” asks Joubert. “Yeah,” confirms Pearce. Joubert heads to O’Connell to deliver the news, ignoring his attempt to appeal and saying: “Cleanout by the neck. It’s one of the key focus areas. Penalty.” Speaking post-match, Joe Schmidt shared his unhappiness at the decision and the manner in which the penalty was awarded. The Ireland head coach will naturally be more concerned by his side’s ineffectiveness with ball in hand at times, several unforced errors, the limited impact of the Irish maul and other disappointing elements, but he felt this was a poor decision. One of them in the 59th minute, if you have a look, is called by a man 50 metres away (Pearce) when the referee is three metres away, for a cleanout around the neck and it’s this fella (O’Connell) with both arms under the armpits,” said Schmidt. “Those are the fine margins that matches swing on, but they happen to both sides.” Does Schmidt have an argument here? In the blurry image above, we can see that O’Connell’s left arm is tucked in under Tipuric’s chest, while his right hand is reaching around under the Wales openside’s left arm. Clearly that means the Tipuric’s head and neck are nearby, but O’Connell doesn’t actually directly bind onto the head or neck at any stage. O’Connell’s contact and grip throughout is around Tipuric’s shoulders and under his chest, and it appears that the only reason Tipuric’s neck gets into a slightly awkward position is because the openside flanker fights to stay close to the ball rather than ‘accept’ O’Connell’s clearout. For us, it’s a certainly a harsh penalty in as physical a sport as rugby union but the opposite has been firmly argued to us and it’s open for debate, as with many decisions made by rugby referees. The ‘tin opener’ or ‘croc roll’ that O’Connell is attempting here is something that has become a key feature of modern rugby, as the rucking player looks to roll the jackaling defender away from the ball to prevent a steal or turnover penalty. That’s at the very core of this issue – the jackaling player. Let’s go back and look at Scotland’s Peter Horne in the instance where Cronin engages him around the neck. Is Horne really in control of his body weight here? Is he legitimately and truthfully on his feet to compete for the ball? The clip above suggests that Horne is not in control of his body weight and that without the arrival of Cronin, he would flop down over the ball, off his feet. Let’s jump back to the O’Connell example and take a look at Tipuric. Is Tipuric really in control of his body weight here? Is he legitimately and truthfully on his feet to compete for the ball? In the freeze frame above, we see Tipuric’s left hand firmly planted on the ground in front of tackled player Jack McGrath, while the Welshman’s right hand also gives him a degree of support. Again this is something that is unfortunately now accepted in rugby. Below, we get an example of an Irish player competing for and winning the ball only by initially supporting themselves with their hands. When we freeze the frame, below, is McGrath really in control of his body weight? Is he legitimately and truthfully on his feet to compete for the ball? In a game that moves as quickly as rugby, with so many different potential offences in every phase, it’s impossible for referees to pick up everything, but this hands-on-the-ground style of breakdown competition has been accepted too easily. It has almost become the norm over many years, meaning attacking teams have had to find an answer. A jackaling player threatening the ball as McGrath and Tipuric do in the examples above is very, very difficult to remove. That’s where the croc roll and targeting of the neck have come in. Professional teams and sides below that level have actually been training to specifically target the neck area, forcing the jackaling player to forget all about that ball and worry about the safety of their head and neck, as well as the flow of oxygen into their body. It’s brutal and violent, but it’s a reality of the way the game and its focus on winning. Essentially, the jackaling player is often cheating by putting their hands on the ground. Sometimes the only way to counteract that cheating is for the rucking player to take the law into their own hands. Chicken and egg The Paul O’Connell penalty still seems a harsh one now after multiple viewings and it’s essential that match officials are highly accurate in their execution of the directives handed down by World Rugby. Nonetheless, the fact that tackles and rucking around the neck are being clamped down on is obviously a good thing. The safer this sport is, the more it will attract new supporters and players. Late on in the Ireland defeat to Wales, we saw James King penalised for the above tackle around the neck of Sean O’Brien. Again, that’s an encouraging thing to see. Whatever your viewpoint on the penalty against O’Connell for his clearout on Tipuric, the underlying issue in all of this is the power of the jackal. It’s for the improvement of the game that World Rugby is looking to remove neck contact of course, but there must be a concurrent focus on reducing the instances of defending players competing for the ball when not in control of their own body weight. If that concurrent focus doesn’t happen, we will only see the weight of the breakdown favour going further and further in favour of the defensive team. Cut ‘hands on the ground’ out of the game as much as possible and watch the instances of rucking in or near the neck fade, while the crucial balance of competition at the breakdown between the attack and defence is maintained. | Low | [

1. Field of the Invention This invention concerns internal combustion engines, and more particularly relates to the starting of such engines without a conventionally employed storage battery or other energy source. 2. Description of the Prior Art Internal combustion engines operate on the principle that a liquid fuel, when ignited and combusted in a cylinder equipped with a reciprocating piston, generates a large volume of gas which pushes the piston toward the opposite extremity of the cylinder. In order to start the engine, fuel must be within the cylinder while the piston is at its outer-most point of travel within the cylinder, often referred to as Top Dead Center of the "power stroke", and means must be provided for igniting or "firing" the fuel. In engines having a multiplicity of cylinders whose pistons cooperatively engage a crankshaft, the sequence of firing of the cylinders is important in the starting and continued operation of the engine. Before the advent of storage batteries, internal combustion engines such as those on automotive vehicles were started by hand-cranking. The crank was geared so as to rotate the crankshaft. When manually rotated, the crankshaft performs the several sequential steps involved in the normal running of the engine, namely: feeding fuel to the cylinders, producing properly staged movement of the pistons, and supplying a magneto-generated spark to appropriate cylinders by way of a "distributor" switching device. However, the manual cranking of an engine is difficult even with relatively small engines, and almost impossible with high horsepower engines employed in modern vehicles. Internal combustion engines, as on automotive vehicles, can be extremely difficult to start in cold weather or after long standing, even when the engine is equipped with a heavy duty storage battery and starter motor adapted to rotate the crankshaft. Various expedients have been proposed for starting internal combustion devices. For example, explosive devices have been disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 1,877,936 and elsewhere. Modifications involving the delivery to the cylinders of a highly volatile starting fuel such as dimethyl ether is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,053,321; 3,494,340; 3,661,133; 5,119,775 and 5,195,477. U.S. Pat. No. 2,348,621 concerns an engine starting system equipped with means driven independently of the normal engine timing for effecting intake and exhaust in the engine cylinders and for timing the ignition means. The equipment required is of complex construction, and cannot be feasibly retrofitted onto engines of ordinary design. Also, a storage battery and accompanying starter motor are still necessary components of this system. It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a method for starting an internal combustion engine. It is a further object of this invention to provide a method as in the foregoing object which does not require use of a storage battery, starter motor or other energy source such as a flywheel or external means of cranking the engine. It is another object of the present invention to provide manually operable apparatus for accomplishing the aforesaid method for starting an internal combustion engine. It is a still further object of this invention to provide apparatus of the aforesaid nature which is easily installable upon and compatible with internal combustion engines of conventional design. These objects and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description. | Mid | [

I know, I know – I’ve been too long without posting. It’s been kind of a rough time here, and very busy as well. Since last I posted, we’ve had 10 foster girls come and go that you haven’t even heard about! There were the Mystery Girls: Sookie Stackhouse, Stephanie Plum, KoKo, and Sneaky Pie. There was the fizzy 4-pack that we called the Soda Pop Girls – Moxie, Fanta, Faygo, and Shasta. Net-Net and Missy Then there was a very special pair, older girls Net-Net and Missy. Yes, that’s the same Net-Net who, with her litter of babies, was my very first foster case. The one who bit me five times, sending me to the emergency room once. Net-Net Gets Cozy Net-Net’s owner reached a point where she had significant changes in her life that made it impossible to give her rats the care they deserved. So she surrendered them all to Mainely Rat Rescue. Since I’d had Net-Net before, it made sense for her to come back. I was promised she wasn’t a biter, now that she didn’t have babies. Not entirely true. Net-Net and Missy both made attempts at biting Gryphon right away. Me – well, with me they were what I came to call toothy, but not biting. I could pick them up (Gryphon couldn’t), and handle them, and even take them in on my bed to romp under the blankets. And all I ever got was a Tooth Touch to the arm, hand, even the nose or chin – a gentle touching of the teeth to a body part, not a bite. Missy Explores The Tooth Touch sometimes became a Slow Bite. Not an aggressive motion, but a slow and considered one. I took the Tooth Touch and the Slow Bite both to mean they were trying to communicate, not express anger or fear. The Slow Bite is a case of a Tooth Touch that doesn’t know it’s own strength. If you are quick enough, you can pull away from them. I was slow one night, and Missy actually broke the skin on my ear. Ouch! So, here we were with a pair of older girls (over 18 months, elderly for a rat), with a temperament issue. And in addition to that, they both developed tumors. What was intended to be foster care in contemplation of finding an adoptive home, became hospice care. Net-Net’s tumor grew rapidly, and it was the ever-increasing size of her lump that set the deciding point for the next phase. We parted company with Net-Net and Missy last week, sending them on their final journey to the top people at MRR. The head honcho herself is a certified euthanasia technician, so I can rest assured that they were handled gently, with great care and respect. Net-Net will always hold a special place in my heart. She was the rat who got me started on this path to greater involvement with Mainely Rat Rescue. On her first visit, she instilled in me a great fear of being bitten by aggressive rats. On her last stay, I came to understand her behavior better, to see the toothiness for what I believe it really is – an attempt by an intelligent rat to communicate with the living beings who provide her daily care. Net-Net and Missy, as cuddly as they ever got In the end, Net-Net, Missy, and I developed a mutual respect, and dare I say, even a friendship, for each other. I think they knew that in their final home, they were loved and cared for as their own cantankerous selves. I’ve been trying to screw up the courage to write this post for a few days now. This past Saturday afternoon, our best beloved Rattie, Lola, passed away in my arms. Lola was about 2 years, 3 1/2 months old. As we sat ready to eat our Saturday breakfast (which is around 1 p.m. for us), Gryphon noticed that she was lying in the nest box, gasping for breath. He gently removed her from the cage and handed her to me. Lola was struggling for air, but seemed glad of the comfort. Her breathing troubles waxed and waned over the next two hours. At intervals she would scramble to drag herself to another spot, as if hoping to escape the pain and discomfort. She was so weak, she couldn’t raise her body and stand. Finally, a few minutes after 4 p.m., she had a few spasms that appeared to be a final seizure. Her little fists clenched and pawed at her face as if washing it. Then, lying on her side on my chest, with my hands covering her, she went still. I cried. I have cried at least once every day since. I see her face all around me. We have lost other rats before. We loved every one of them, and each loss hurt. But not like this one. Lola was special. Both Gryphon and I feel like we’ve lost a soul mate. She came to us originally in mid July of 2007. We found her at a local PetCo, a surrendered rat hoping to be adopted. They claimed she was five months old at the time. It may have been true – she was less than full size, but no longer a baby. We ultimately decided to approximate her birthday as February 18, 2007. The most astonishing thing was that she kept jumping out of the tank she was kept in, to climb onto my shoulder, then jump back down and repeat the process. Over and over again. Clearly, she didn’t want us to leave her. So we didn’t. Lola’s First Picture, July 21, 2007 We brought her home, a spunky young teenager, to live with our aging girls Star and Sable. Star had clear health issues – a growing tumor, and a history of seizures and possibly even strokes. Sable was getting up there, but still functioning well. First Morning Together: Lola draped over Star below, Sable in the hammock above. July 28, 2007 Star succumbed to her health problems on August 14. By then, Lola was able to keep Sable company. Their companionship kept Sable going until January, at which point the older girl passed away in our arms from respiratory failure. Lola became very depressed. We don’t know how long she may have been without rattie companionship before we adopted her, but she had come to love Sable, and she missed her big sister. Anxious to ease her loneliness, I got in touch with Mainely Rat Rescue. We adopted a pair of neutered boys, Yuri and Leonardo, a week after losing Sable. First Meeting with the New Boys, 01/29/08 Lola had, from the start, been friendly, affectionate, and cuddly. Her personality had shown through at all ages, from her days as a bratty teenager picking on the old girls Star and Sable, to the flirty girl getting to know the boys we brought home for her. She became a protective mother figure when new girls were added – while still making sure they understood she wasn’t just a mother, she was The Queen Mother, thankyouverymuch. Since the start of 2009, Lola had started showing her age. She slowed down. She asked for more cuddles, spending up to an hour at a time just snoozing in my arms. She took on the role of curmudgeonly old woman, becoming more annoyed at the young whippersnappers she shared a cage with. In her most shining display of her true nature, when we tried to introduce Marbles into the colony cage, Lola turned out to be the only rat who accepted him. Every other one attacked him at every opportunity, but Lola slept with him, sometimes fended off his attackers, and kept him company when no others would. A short time later, we noticed a bulge starting to develop on Lola’s chest. Female rats are prone to mammary tumors, and at Lola’s age, surgery would be both costly and risky. So long as she had a reasonable quality of life, it was best just to help her live with it. She didn’t seem impaired, but did lose some weight and slowed down even more. The end finally came on Saturday, as I gave her what comfort I could, and told her if she had to leave it was okay, that we didn’t want her to suffer. I believe she went fairly peacefully. I hope she did. She was Lola. She was our love. She was a Clown: A Cuddler: Lola and Lily, March 2009 A Gourmand: A seeker of love: And a lover of yarn: She was our best friend, and sometimes a very nice neckwarmer: Gryphon and Lola, together. Rest peacefully and well, our dear friend. You will always be in our hearts. | Mid | [

Q: Type Name Not Allowed for Outputting MIDI File Values My program won't allow me to output these values because the "type name is not allowed" (highlighted in asterisks). What does that mean? What's wrong? I'm trying to parse this MIDI file, and it seems I need to use these data types, as the program was outputting the incorrect values (only MThd was outputting correctly, the rest were random hex values). What can I do to fix this? I'm new to coding, so sorry if this is a stupid question. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <stdint.h> typedef struct MIDI_CHUNK_HEADER { char MThd[4]; typedef uint32_t ChunckSize[4]; typedef uint16_t Format[2]; typedef uint16_t Track[2]; typedef uint16_t TimeDivision[2]; } MIDI_CHUNK_HEADER; int main() { std::ifstream In_File("C:\\Users\\micah\\Documents\\Twinkle.mid", std::ios::binary | std::ios::in); if (!In_File) { std::cerr << "Problem opening file!"; return 1; } MIDI_CHUNK_HEADER midi_chunk_header; In_File.read((char*)&midi_chunk_header, sizeof(MIDI_CHUNK_HEADER)); std::cout << "File type is: "<< midi_chunk_header.**MThd** << std::endl; std::cout << "Bytes to follow: " << midi_chunk_header.**ChunckSize** << std::endl; std::cout << "MIDI Format: " << midi_chunk_header.**Format** << std::endl; std::cout << "MIDI Track: " << midi_chunk_header.**Track** << std::endl; std::cout << "MIDI Time Division: " << midi_chunk_header.**TimeDivision** << std::endl; } A: typedef declares an alias for a type name. It does not declare a variable. You cannot use a type name in an expression as if it was a variable name. If you intended to declare class members, then drop the typedef. Also don't use typedef struct in C++. It has use in C, but is redundant in C++. A class can be defined directly without typedef: struct MIDI_CHUNK_HEADER { char MThd[4]; uint32_t ChunckSize[4]; uint16_t Format[2]; uint16_t Track[2]; uint16_t TimeDivision[2]; }; Furthermore you cannot output arrays directly with <<. It will print the address of the first array element instead, except for the case of char arrays (which will be interpreted as C style null-terminated strings). You need to loop over the individual elements and output each individually. (Without looking at the MIDI chunk header format specification:) It seems that you don't actually want arrays at all. If you want e.g. ChunckSize to represent 4 bytes, then you want only one uint32_t (which is 32bits equaling 4 bytes already by itself), not four of them: struct MIDI_CHUNK_HEADER { char MThd[4]; uint32_t ChunckSize; uint16_t Format; uint16_t Track; uint16_t TimeDivision; }; Please learn the language from a good book. It would explain how everything works in a structured way and you wouldn't make mistakes such as using typedef here. Learning C++ in an unstructured way will not get you far. C++ is too unforgiving to mistakes. | Low | [

A glutathione-based hydrogel and its site-selective interactions with water. Glutathione (gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine; GSH) is ubiquitous biological tripeptide with multiple functions and possible therapeutic uses. The oxidized disulfide form (GSSG) self-assembles into fibrillar aggregates and gels in organic solvents, but not in solvent mixtures with high water content. Here, the disulfide bond has been replaced with a pyrenyl moiety in order to test the ability of GSH to direct noncovalent self-assembly in H2O, when combined with a hydrophobic driving force for aggregation. The resulting GSH-pyrene forms gels in 95% H2O:5% DMSO. The gamma-glutamyl group is critical for gelation, as it is with GSSG organo-gels, inasmuch as neither S-(pyrenyl)-cysteinyl-glycine nor the iodo-acetamido-pyrene precursor gels under any conditions studied. Circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy indicate that the pyrene moieties cluster within the gels. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy reveal fibrous networks with individual strands of approximately 50-100 nm diameter. Saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR studies demonstrate that water interacts strongly with GSH-borne protons in both solution and gel states, but only the gels include water-pyrenyl interactions with significant residence times. | Mid | [

95 So.2d 506 (1957) William F. CHATLOS and Alice Chatlos, his wife, Appellants, v. Ronald McPHERSON, Appellee. No. 28472. Supreme Court of Florida, Division A. May 29, 1957. *507 Anderson & Nadeau, Miami, for appellants. Donald G. Miller and Paul J. Stichler, No. Miami Beach, for appellee. THORNAL, Justice. Appellants, Chatlos, seek reversal of a final decree quieting title to a parcel of land in favor of the appellee, McPherson. The determining point is the effect of Section 695.01, Florida Statutes, F.S.A. (the recording statute), upon the ultimate title acquired by the contesting parties. Appellee, McPherson, filed a complaint to quiet the title to a number of lots. Appellants, Chatlos, were among the defendants. Chatlos filed a cross-complaint asking that his title to Lot 8, Block 51, be quieted. The deraignment of the title of the respective parties is important. On December 16, 1925, Florida Cities Finance Company conveyed said Lot 8 to one Marley. The deed was not recorded until December 15, 1927. By deed recorded April 16, 1945, Marley conveyed to McPherson. Chatlos deraigns his title through a sheriff's deed. On the basis of prior judgments recovered against Florida Cities Finance Company execution was issued on June 16, 1926. A sheriff's deed, based on this execution and pursuant to notice of sale, was issued to a predecessor in the Chatlos title by deed recorded December 18, 1944. Chatlos acquired the title through subsequent conveyances. The significant dates are those relating to the date of the recording of the deed to Marley, which was December 15, 1927, as against the date of the execution based on prior judgments, which was June 16, 1926. A judgment had been recorded on May 24, 1926. Another fact actually constitutes the basis of the McPherson claim to a superior title. On October 24, 1925, a prior blanket mortgage encumbering the entire subdivision was partially released by the mortgage holder to Florida Cities Finance Company. *508 This partial release made no reference whatever to the claim of an interest of any other person. Nonetheless, McPherson contends that the partial release to Florida Cities Finance Company, the judgment debtor, should have put the judgment creditor on implied actual notice that the finance company had contracted to sell the lot and that if the judgment creditor had pursued an investigation and made inquiry of the finance company, he would have obtained this information. The Chancellor agreed with McPherson and quieted the title to the lot in dispute in his name. Reversal of this decree is here sought. The appellants contend that when the prior judgment was recovered and execution thereon issued on June 16, 1926, there was no recorded notice whatever of the claim of anyone other than the judgment debtor, Florida Cities Finance Company. Therefore, it is contended by appellants that the recording of the judgment and the issuance of execution before the subsequent recording of the Marley deed estops Marley and those claiming under him from claiming a superior title to holders under the sheriff's deed. McPherson, the appellee, contends that our recording statute binds a party to take notice of the matters shown by the record and such other facts as would be learned upon making inquiries suggested by the record. He relies on the proposition that the record here showing the partial release of the mortgage was sufficient to put the judgment creditor on implied actual notice of adverse claims that would have been revealed had inquiry been pursued. This is so, he contends, even though the partial release made no reference to any interest other than that of the mortgagor and mortgagee. In entering the final decree in favor of appellee, McPherson, the Chancellor relied upon our opinion in Hull v. Maryland Casualty Company, Fla. 1954, 79 So.2d 517. Although the rule of law announced in that opinion is the one contended for by the appellee, an examination of the factual situation to which the rule was applied would seem to establish a clear line of distinction between that case and the one before us. In the Hull decision although the ultimate deed relied upon by Hull, who was successful in defending against the judgment, was not recorded until after the judgment itself, there was of record prior to the judgment an agreement to sell executed by the judgment debtor in favor of Hull's predecessor. The record likewise revealed a pledge of this agreement to sell in the form of a mortgage executed by the judgment debtor and recorded prior to the judgment. The mortgage specifically described the recorded agreement to sell. In the Hull case also the partial release of the property from the prior blanket mortgage was recorded and the agreement to sell executed by the judgment debtor was thereupon re-assigned to it. All of these documents were recorded prior to the recording of the judgment. In the Hull decision we held that the numerous documents of record prior to the judgment, all of which reflected and specifically pointed to the claims of prior grantees from the judgment debtor, were adequate to require the judgment creditor to pursue an investigation independent of the record itself. Under such circumstances we held that the judgment creditor was not justified in relying entirely on the constructive notice supplied by the record. On the contrary, the record was literally permeated with signals that someone other than the judgment debtor had an interest in the property. These signals we held imposed a duty to make an inquiry which resulted in implied actual notice of the claims of third parties. In the case before us no such situation obtained. The only document relied upon by the appellee to establish notice of his alleged superior title was the partial release *509 of the lot from a prior blanket mortgage. Florida Cities Finance Company, the judgment debtor, had executed the mortgage and the partial release merely relinquished this specific lot from the lien of the mortgage. There was nothing whatever in the release or in any other documents of record suggesting the interest of a third party. So far as the record in this case reveals, there was nothing in its content that would impel any reasonable person to make further inquiry. Appellee, by his brief, asserts that if inquiry had been made of Florida Cities Finance Company, the judgment debtor, the interest of the true owner of the lot would have been made known. The point in reply is that there was no suggestion on the record in any form or nature that any further inquiry was necessary. Appellee tenders the nebulous viewpoint that "it is common knowledge" that when a land developer in the business of selling lots obtains a partial release from a blanket mortgage, he does so for the purpose of selling the particular lot so released. He then reasons that the partial release supplemented by so-called "common knowledge" should have impelled the judgment creditor to pursue further inquiry. We cannot indulge in such an extensive assumption as to the significance of so-called "common knowledge." Certainly, it does not necessarily follow that the partial release of a mortgage is necessarily preliminary to an immediate or impending sale of the property released. The pertinent portion of Section 695.01, Florida Statutes, F.S.A. is as follows: "Conveyances to be recorded "No conveyance, transfer or mortgage of real property, or of any interest therein, nor any lease for a term of one year or longer, shall be good and effectual in law or equity against creditors or subsequent purchasers for a valuable consideration and without notice, unless the same be recorded according to law; * * *" This statute has been construed to mean that one who records evidence of his title subsequent to grantees, mortgagees or creditors who have relied upon a prior record title is estopped to assert or enforce his claim as against those who have relied upon the prior record. Unless the record contains such information as would lead a reasonable man to make inquiry outside of the record sufficient to lead to information that would show the interest of the subsequent record claimant, it appears to us that in order to charge a person with notice of facts discoverable by reasonable inquiry, the circumstances should be such, or the record indications should be of a nature, that inquiry outside of the record becomes a duty and the failure to make such inquiry would constitute a negligent omission. In order to charge a person with notice of a fact which he might have learned by inquiry, the circumstances known to him must be such as should reasonably suggest inquiry and lead him to inquiry. Sapp v. Warner, 105 Fla. 245, 141 So. 124, 143 So. 648, 144 So. 481; Rinehart v. Phelps, 150 Fla. 382, 7 So.2d 783; Farish v. Smoot, Fla. 1952, 58 So.2d 534. We find no such circumstances or factual data appearing in this chain of title as would put upon appellants' predecessor the duty of pursuing an investigation extrinsic of the public records. The judgment having been recorded and execution issued long prior to the date of the recording of the deed to McPherson's predecessor and there being nothing of record to suggest the interest of any person other than the judgment debtor, upon whose title McPherson relies, we are compelled to hold that under our recording statute above cited, McPherson is now estopped to assert his claimed title against the claimant under the sheriff's deed founded on prior judgment and execution. We note that the *510 record fails to reveal any evidence that either party is in possession of the lot involved. The decree is reversed and the cause remanded for such further proceedings as may be consistent herewith. TERRELL, C.J., and THOMAS and ROBERTS, JJ., concur. | Low | [

The first conceptions of the Playstation console date back to 1988. Nintendo had been attempting to work with disk technology since the Famicom, but the medium had problems. Its rewritable magnetic nature could be easily erased (thus leading to a lack of durability), and the disks were a piracy danger. Thus, when word came out of a new optical storage technology being developed by Sony and Philips, Nintendo was interested. Nintendo approached Sony to develop a CD-ROM add-on, tentatively titled the "SNES-CD". A contract was struck, and work began. In 1991, the SNES-CD (now titled the Play Station) was to be announced at the June CES. However, when Hiroshi Yamauchi read the original 1988 contract between Sony and Nintendo and learned that it allowed Sony 25% of the profits from the machine, he was furious. He deemed the contract totally unacceptable, and secretly cancelled all plans for a joint Nintendo-Sony SNES CD attachment. read more... Indeed, instead of announcing their partnership, at 9AM the day of the CES, Nintendo chairman Howard Lincoln stepped onto the stage and revealed that they were now allied with Philips, and were planning on abandoning all the previous work Nintendo and Sony had accomplished. Lincoln and Minoru Arakawa had (unbeknownst to Sony) flown to Philips headquarters in Europe and formed an alliance of a decidedly different nature- one that would give Nintendo total control over its licenses on Philips machines. The 9am CES announcement was a huge shock. Not only was it a complete surprise to the showgoers (Sony had only just the previous night been optimistically showing off the joint project), but it was seen by many in the Japanese community as a massive betrayal- a Japanese company snubbing another Japan-based company in favour of a European one was considered unthinkable in Japanese business. Initially, Nintendo's abandonment of the joint project caused Sony to consider halting their research, but ultimately the company decided to use what they had developed so far and make it into a complete, stand alone console. This led to Nintendo filing a lawsuit claiming breach of contract and attempted, in U.S. federal court, to obtain an injunction against the release of the PlayStation, on the grounds that Nintendo owned the name. The federal judge presiding over the case denied the injunction. Thus, in October 1991, the first incarnation of the new Sony Playstation was revealed. As for the deal between Philips and Nintendo, it fell through as well. However, because of the deal, Philips was able to create games for its CD-i computer based on Nintendo licenses. The games were terrible, and seen as another attempt by Philips to market the ill-fated computer. The PlayStation was officially launched in Japan on December 3, 1994, the USA on September 9, 1995 and Europe on September 29, 1995. In America, Sony enjoyed a very successful launch with titles of almost every genre including Toshinden, Twisted Metal, Warhawk, Philosoma, Wipeout and Ridge Racer. Almost all of Sony's and Namco's launch titles went on to produce numerous sequels. The PlayStation was also able to generate interest with a unique slew of ad campaigns. Many of the ads released at the time of launch were full of ambiguous content which had many gamers rabidly debating their meanings. The most well-known launch ads include the "Enos Lives" campaign, and the "You Are Not E" ads (the "E" in "You Are Not E" was always coloured in red, to symbolize the word "ready", and the "Enos" meant "ready Ninth Of September", the U.S. launch date). It is believed that these ads were an attempt to play off the gaming public's suspicion towards Sony as an unknown, untested quantity in the video game market. The first new version was actually a revision in early 1996, produced in response to complaints that PlayStations were overheating. Sony did not change the technical aspects or the cosmetics but did remove the RCA ports left over from the Japanese release. The parallel port (which was mostly unused by Sony) was also removed to reduce production costs. Sony also slightly improved the laser assembly. Many gamers experienced skipping full-motion video or dreaded physical "ticking" noises coming from their PlayStations. The seemingly universal fix for this was to turn one's PlayStation sideways or upside-down—although some gamers smacked the lid of the PlayStation to make a game load or work. This problem was carried over to many first-generation PlayStation 2s in the form of the very well known Disc Read Error message. Sony produced a redesigned version of the original console, called the PSone, in a smaller (and more ergonomic) case which was introduced in September 2000. The original PlayStation was abbreviated in Japan to "PS" and was often abbreviated as "PSX" by American gamers, as this was Sony's internal code name for the system while it was under development (PlayStation Xperimental). This led to some confusion in 2003, when Sony introduced a PS2-derived system in Japan actually called the PSX. The PlayStation is now officially abbreviated as the "PS1" or "PSone," although many people still abbreviate it "PS" or "PSX". There were only 2 differences between the "PSone" and the original, the first one being cosmetic change to the console, and the second one was the home menu's Graphical User Interface. A version of the PlayStation called the Net Yaroze was also produced. It was more expensive than the original PlayStation, coloured black instead of the usual gray, and most importantly, came with tools and instructions that allowed a user to be able to program PlayStation games and applications without the need for a full developer suite, which cost many times the amount of a PlayStation and was only available to approved video game developers. Naturally, the Net Yaroze lacked many of the features the full developer suite provided. Programmers were also limited by the 2MB of total game space that Net Yaroze allowed. That means, your whole game had to be crammed into the 2MB of system RAM. You couldn't officially make actual game discs. The amount of space may seem small, but games like Ridge Racer, ran entirely from the system RAM (except for the streamed music tracks of course). It was unique in that it was the only officially retailed Sony PlayStation with no regional lockout; it would play games from any territory. Another version that was coloured blue (as opposed to regular console units that were grey in colour) was available to game developers and select press. Later versions of this were coloured green. Contrary to popular belief, the RAM was not 4 megabytes but instead the standard 2 megabytes. The console included a CD-ROM emulator board connected to a PC. It was also able to run in-development games which lacked region coding (which would be rejected by a normal PlayStation as though they were pirated copies). A few of these units eventually appeared for sale through somewhat dubious channels at high prices. The installation of a modchip allows the PlayStation's capabilities to be expanded. This allows unauthorized copies of games to be played, but it also allows the playing of games from other regions, such as PAL titles on a NTSC console. Since modchips allow playing games recorded on a regular CD-ROM, it created a wave of games developed without official Sony approval, using free GNU compiler tools. The console was extremely popular, spawning the so-called "PlayStation Generation". Well known titles on the PlayStation include Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy 7, Resident Evil, Tekken, Wipeout, Gran Turismo, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Parasite Eve, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear Solid. As of May 18, 2004, Sony has shipped 100 million PlayStation and PSone consoles throughout the world. As of March 2004, there were 7,300 software titles available with cumulative software shipment of 949 million.

The Various Features of Energy Star Windows Nowadays it is quite a prevalent practice to make your homes energy efficient. By making our house energy efficient, we can cut down on our electricity expenses, create better air quality within our home space and reduce environmental pollution. There are various ways to make our houses more energy efficient; one of the most popular among them is the installation of windows that are certified by the US government’s Energy Star program. These are energy efficient windows that make your house a healthier place to live in. But before you get in touch with Toronto energy efficiency star windows to install them in your home, you need to know what their special features are and how you can benefit from them. This article will show you how Energy Star windows are ideal energy efficient solutions for any home environment. Energy Star windows can help to regulate the overall temperature of your house by keeping it warm during the cooler months and cooler during the summer season, which makes it more comfortable for you and your family. They also lead to less condensation and provide protection to your valuables from damage caused by direct sunlight; a problem that occurs frequently with conventional double paned glass windows. These windows also reduce your overall energy consumption which in turn is a boon to the environment. With lesser energy consumption, the level of pollution is also reduced. Condensation can be a major problem during the colder months. Often with conventional windows it is seen that water condenses or freezes on the interiors and accumulates over the sill. Chronic condensation over time can damage the sills, encourage growth of mold and cause the paint to crack. However, such mishaps can be avoided by using Energy Star windows. They are equipped with advanced framing, warm edge spacing and low E-glass coating which negate such possibilities. Installing Energy Star windows also help homeowners to reduce their air conditioning and heating bills by maintaining the temperature of their houses. They also help to maintain the overall appearance of the house by guaranteeing that no unnecessary damages caused by moisture or other issues will deteriorate the aesthetic appeal of the living space. About Us We perfectly understand that as a homeowner, it is your foremost priority to make sure that every single aspect of your home will be exactly how you want it to be and that even the smallest details will jive in perfection. | High | [

Interaction between monocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells induces expression of hepatocyte growth factor. To investigate the expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)--a multifunctional factor implicated in tissue regeneration, wound healing and angiogenesis--that is induced by cell-to-cell interactions between monocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), using coculture of human VSMCs and cells of the human monocytoid cell line, THP-1. We collected supernatant from the coculture medium and measured HGF concentrations with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Northern blot analysis of HGF mRNA was performed using a specific cDNA. To explore which types of cells produce HGF, we performed immunohistochemistry. Coculture of VSMCs with THP-1 cells for 24 h caused a fivefold increase in HGF concentrations over that in control VSMC culture. Northern blot analysis showed an induction of HGF mRNA in the coculture with a peak at 3 h. Separated cocultures demonstrated that both direct contact and soluble factors contribute to the production of HGF. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that both types of cells in the coculture produce HGF. Neutralizing antibodies against tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6 inhibited the HGF production in THP-1 cells and VSMCs that was induced by the coculture conditioned medium. The protein kinase C inhibitors H-7, calphostin C and K252b, and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein, significantly inhibited the production of HGF in the coculture. Cell-to-cell interactions between monocytes and VSMCs induced HGF synthesis in both types of cells, suggesting that local HGF production induced by this cell-to-cell interaction has an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension, atherosclerosis or vascular remodelling. | High | [

Q: on contact insert get Contact_ID I am currently working on an app, where I need to insert contacts into the mobilephones contact list. Using the ContactsContract.RawContacts batch insertion, I successfully inserted contacts into the phonebook. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.RawContacts.html However when trying to update them they just add more phonenumber, instead replacing the old one. So I came onto ContactsContract.Data where through the Contact_ID one could apparently on update replace the old phonenumber. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Data.html My question now is, is it possible to retrieve the Contacts_ID on insertion? So that when I insert a contact by this code: ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>(); ... int rawContactInsertIndex = ops.size(); ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI) .withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType) .withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName) .build()); ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI) .withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex) .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE) .withValue(StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, "Mike Sullivan") .build()); getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); I would get back the Contacts_ID? Thank you advance for any help you can give me. A: Better way, and you get the _ID not the RAW_ID!! Add that as static variables: static final String[] CONTACTS_SUMMARY_PROJECTION = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.Contacts.STARRED, ContactsContract.Contacts.TIMES_CONTACTED, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTACT_PRESENCE, ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY, ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER, }; Then add that after the insert: // Displayed name String displayed_name = "Contact's name goes here"; // Add the new contact try { context.getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } String select = "(" + ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " == \"" +displayed_name+ "\" )"; Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, CONTACTS_SUMMARY_PROJECTION, select, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC"); context.startManagingCursor(c); if (c.moveToNext()) { int id = new Integer(c.getString(0)).intValue(); } It works for me. | Mid | [

Essay eradicate poverty india facts: scst: Of all the rural households, around.46 percent belongs to scheduled castes, and around.97 belongs to scheduled Tribes. Becoming extra rich and extra poor creates a huge widening gap between the rich and the poor people. Limited income in larger families leads to lack of access to sufficient nutritious food for their children. Inflation and Price hike the term Inflation may be defined as an increase in prices of commodities coinciding with the fall in the purchasing value of money. Faulty economic liberalization the LPG attempts initiated by the Indian Government in 1991 were directed towards making the economy more suited to international market-trends to invite foreign investments. Poverty is a situation which no one wants have someone write your essay bumble to live however has to carry it by custom, nature, natural disaster, or lack of proper education. But outdated farming practices, lack of proper irrigation infrastructure and even lack of formal knowledge of crop handling has affected the productivity in this sector tremendously. Some people are unwilling to work hard or even not willing to work altogether, leaving their families in the darkness of poverty. Growing population: Our population is growing rapidly. Child Labor: In India, a large number of young boys and girls are engaged in child labour. Essay on Poverty in India: Causes, Effects and Solutions - Important Essay eradicate poverty india Hygiene and sanitation: These people have little knowledge about hygiene and proper sanitation system. Unequal distribution of enron essay conclusion assets with the economy changing directions rapidly, the earning structure evolves differently in different economic income groups. The poor people must get all help to reap the fruits of Independence. They do not get proper and healthy nutrition, medicines, and other necessary things. Certain Indian states are more poverty stricken than others like Odhisha and the North East states. Many Indian people do not get two meals a day. Every successive government, since 1947, has tried to reduce poverty by making various policies. Deprived: Around.5 percent of rural households are deprived according to the census. Unemployment: unemployment causes poverty as it creates the lack of money which affects peoples daily life. Violence and crime rate incidence of violence and crime have been found to be geographically coincident.

Probing multiple effects on 15N, 13C alpha, 13C beta, and 13C' chemical shifts in peptides using density functional theory. We have used density functional calculations on model peptides to study conformational effects on (15)N, (13)C alpha, (13)C beta, and (13)C' chemical shifts, associated with hydrogen bonding, backbone conformation, and side-chain orientation. The results show a significant dependence on the backbone torsion angles of the nearest three residues. Contributions to (15)N chemical shifts from hydrogen bonding (up to 8 ppm), backbone conformation (up to 13 ppm), side-chain orientation and neighborhood residue effects (up to 22 ppm) are significant, and a unified theory will be required to account for their behavior in proteins. In contrast to this, the dependence on sequence and hydrogen bonding is much less for (13)C alpha and (13)C beta chemical shifts (<0.5 ppm), and moderate for carbonyl carbon shifts (<2 ppm). The effects of side-chain orientation are mainly limited to the residue itself for both nitrogen and carbon, but the chi(1) effect is also significant for the nitrogen shift of the following residue and for the (13)C' shift of the preceding residue. The calculated results are used, in conjunction with an additive model of chemical shift contributions, to create an algorithm for prediction of (15)N and (13)C shifts in proteins from their structure; this includes a model to extrapolate results to regions of torsion angle space that have not been explicitly studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Crystal structures of 20 proteins with measured shifts have been used to test the prediction scheme. Root mean square deviations between calculated and experimental shifts 2.71, 1.22, 1.31, and 1.28 ppm for N, C alpha, C beta, and C', respectively. This prediction algorithm should be helpful in NMR assignment, crystal and solution structure comparison, and structure refinement. | High | [

Green Yellow Journalism? Jonathan Adler over at The Volokh Conspiracy points to a somewhat infuriating article by Jack Shafer at Slate which attempts to characterize (or is it caricature?) “green journalism” as a successor to the yellow journalism of the past. I get the impression from Adler’s previous work that he probably agrees with a lot of what is said. I do not. The column’s major gripe is a series of articles that have appeared in Slate since the fall in conjunction with the dirty hippies of treehugger.com. I am having trouble sniffing out a substantive criticism of the articles. Shafer bemoans their coequal presentation of a variety of carbon-reducing activities with both substantial and fairly insubstantial impacts. This seems like a quibble to me. Every bit does help, and, to appropriate Shafer’s example, not everyone does fly frequently. Everyone does, however, use a shower. Moreover, he is incredulous at their suggestions to seek out food grown locally and avoid meat. In environmental circles, this is not considered radical at all, since cows and other meat animals are a major source of methane, and since transporting food is just as wasteful as transporting people. (Shafer acknowledges that transporting people emits a hell of a lot of carbon in the preceding paragraph.) His concern about carbon offsets also seems somewhat overplayed. He notes, correctly, that the Financial Times and others have found some carbon offset firms to be doing very little actual offsetting. He fails to note, however, that other offset organizations engage in legitimate reductions, vis-a-vis the distribution of fluorescent bulbs in the developing world for example. Shafer’s concluding caveat paragraph is also pretty half-hearted and unconvincing. There is a lot of internal debate in the environmental community over proper priorities and goals, which is not the impression the author is trying to give Slate’s readers. Instead, he finds a few convincingly offensive outliers, tries to inflate another harmless article into an offensive one, and calls it a critique. I am unimpressed. | Mid | [

United Nations officials have set off to the Syrian town of Tremseh to investigate reports of a massacre of civilians by Syrian troops and pro-government militia. A three-car convoy was seen leaving Damascus and heading for Tremseh and UN officials confirmed the destination to the Spanish Efe news agency. The mission follows comments by the head of the UN monitoring mission in Syria that helicopters and tanks were used to shell Tremseh at the same time as villagers reported the killing of around 140 people. General Robert Mood said on Friday his officials were ready to enter the town of Tremseh if a truce there took hold. He said monitors stationed in the area had personally verified that heavy weapons were directed against Tremseh on Thursday. Late on Friday the UN said observers had been unable to contact the military commander responsible for the area near Tremseh and its members had been refused access. It claimed the Syrian air force "continued to attack populated urban areas on a large scale" and said its observers had logged more than 100 explosions in an "ongoing military operation". Residents of the small town of around 6,000 people said they were attacked from outlying areas late on Thursday after many hours of shelling. They blamed the attack on loyalist forces and a pro-regime militia known as the Shabiha which has been accused of being at the vanguard of other mass killings in recent months. Syrian officials instead blamed "terrorists", who they say have been responsible for much of the violence in Syria since the uprising began almost 17 months ago. The UN's special envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, said he was "shocked and appalled" by "intense fighting, significant casualties, and the confirmed use of heavy weaponry such as artillery, tanks and helicopters" in Tremseh, which is in an ethnically mixed area 22 miles from Hama. Activists in the area say around 600 casualties are being treated in field clinics and hospitals in surrounding areas. They claim that many bodies remain in crop fields and a final death toll will not be known for days. Mousab al-Hamadee, an opposition activist living 12 miles away, said people had travelled to the town early on Thursday to warn of an impending regime assault. Hamadee said he had spoken to his sister, who described the attack as relentless. "A big number of the young men were killed in the field when they were trying to escape the army attack," he said. "Helicopters targeted them by heavy machine guns while they were driving their motorcycles – while they were fleeing the village. "Today the people of Tremseh opened a house that was burned by troops. They found two people who were burned alive. My sister told me that the only two doctors in the village were targeted by mortar shells. Both doctors were killed in their houses." The alleged massacre took place before a UN security council meeting that is expected to weigh a new response to the crisis in Syria, which has morphed over the past year from a series of anti-regime demonstrations in many towns and cities into a full-scale insurrection. Some European states and the US are pushing for the UN to impose sanctions under a Chapter Seven resolution. However, Russia and China, which have staunchly supported Damascus throughout the uprising, have indicated that they will use their vetoes to block such a move. Damascus said earlier this week it was committed to Annan's six-point peace plan and nominated an interlocutor that it said would represent the regime in discussions with the opposition to bring about a ceasefire. | Mid | [

L’ancienne gare d’autocars Berri, dans le centre-ville de Montréal, reprendra vie au début de septembre avec un projet-pilote de livraison en vélos cargos électriques. Centre-ville: des vélos électriques pour remplacer les camions de livraison ? Fini, les camions de livraison au centre-ville de Montréal ? Pour réduire le nombre de véhicules circulant dans ses rues, la métropole lancera au début de septembre un projet-pilote de livraison en vélos cargos électriques. L’initiative redonnera aussi vie à l’ancienne gare d’autocars Berri, abandonnée depuis des années. Thomas Dufour La Presse Le but du projet est d’écourter la distance parcourue en ville par les camions. Certains d’entre eux iront donc porter leur marchandise à l’ancienne gare d’autocars Berri plutôt que devant la porte des clients. Des vélos cargos électriques prendront ensuite le relais pour apporter les marchandises à bon port. La première phase du projet comprend uniquement la livraison de colis : pas question de denrées alimentaires ni de meubles pour l’instant. « Mais on ne ferme pas la porte », dit Robert Beaudry, responsable du développement économique et commercial au comité exécutif de la Ville de Montréal. Les avantages du projet sont nombreux, selon lui. « Ça réduit les gaz à effet de serre, ça aide à décongestionner les routes et ça permet d’être plus rapide et plus efficace dans la livraison », résume-t-il. PHOTO DAVID BOILY, ARCHIVES LA PRESSE Robert Beaudry, responsable du développement économique et commercial au comité exécutif de la Ville de Montréal La Ville est déjà en discussion avec des entreprises de livraison qui participeront au projet. La liste des partenaires sera annoncée en septembre. La Ville récoltera des données qui lui seront utiles pour l’avenir du projet. Les statistiques recueillies permettront de déterminer les secteurs où la demande est la plus élevée, entre autres. Engouement pour le vélo L’entreprise de livraison à vélo LVM fera partie du projet pour les prochains mois. « On croit qu’on fait quelque chose de bien pour l’environnement, explique Marie Baudinet, directrice des opérations. Si on est plus nombreux à le faire, on est bien contents. » Mme Baudinet a vu l’intérêt pour la livraison à vélo augmenter au cours des dernières années. Quand LVM a vu le jour en 2015, le fondateur, Joffrey Fuzet, était le seul courtier de l’entreprise à sillonner les rues de la ville. Quatre ans plus tard, ils sont une quinzaine de cyclistes à travailler pour l’entreprise. La livraison à vélo comporte de nombreux avantages, selon Marie Baudinet. « En ville, les vélos sont plus rapides que les voitures sur les distances de 5 km ou moins, affirme-t-elle. On n’a pas besoin de chercher de stationnement ni de couper le moteur. On est très compétitif. » LVM est en activité toute l’année, même l’hiver. Ses livreurs ne s’arrêtent qu’en situation exceptionnelle, comme lors d’une tempête de neige ou de pluie verglaçante. L’avis des camionneurs L’Association du camionnage du Québec (ACQ) espère que la Ville prendra contact avec elle pour discuter des détails du projet. « Je ne sais pas quel genre de marchandises ce sera, le nombre de camions qu’il y aura, explique Marc Cadieux, PDG de l’ACQ. Pour nous, c’est encore sur la planche à dessin. » M. Cadieux croit que l’arrivée de camions au cœur du Quartier latin pourrait déranger le voisinage. « Une convergence de camions, ça pourrait déranger la nuit », affirme-t-il. Selon Robert Beaudry, de la Ville de Montréal, l’arrivée de camions près de l’ancienne gare ne sera pas une nuisance pour le voisinage. « La plupart des camions passaient déjà par là. » Le dernier kilomètre Une telle idée ne date pas d’hier à Montréal. En 2016, l’équipe de l’ancien maire Denis Coderre avait proposé de créer un centre de distribution urbain afin de faciliter la livraison des marchandises dans le « dernier kilomètre » séparant l’acheteur et le produit. La Ville évaluait alors l’option d’utiliser des véhicules électriques. L’idée a repris vie en juin alors que l’administration Plante a annoncé vouloir utiliser le secteur de Berri-UQAM comme centre de livraison pour des véhicules électriques. En plus du centre de livraison, la Ville compte installer un kiosque fait de matières recyclées pour permettre aux livreurs de se reposer. Des bornes de BIXI et des voitures en libre-service seront mises à la disposition du public près du lieu de livraison. Le projet a été mis en place de concert avec Jalon MTL, un organisme à but non lucratif montréalais spécialisé en transport électrique. > Consultez la carte du secteur | Mid | [

Nutrition education in the medical school: factors critical to the development of a successful program. The importance of better nutrition education in the medical school has become more recognized and emphasized in recent years. In an attempt to fulfill increasing needs for teaching programs, unproven approaches have often been used, thereby risking loss of both effectiveness of instruction and student interest. A retrospective evaluation of a decade of teaching experience at the University of Alabama in Birmingham has resulted in a better understanding of what problems may be encountered in the development of a nutrition education program. From this review, two factors appear to be of critical importance to a successful program: relevance of the course material to medical practice and the presence of a strong, positive role model as a physician-nutritionist. Five other factors that need to be considered, but often receive undue priorities, are also discussed. | High | [

A use-of-force trainer testified Tuesday that the actions of two Fullerton police officers charged in the 2011 beating death of Kelly Thomas were acting within the department’s policies. Manuel Ramos is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death. Jay Cicinelli is charged with involuntary manslaughter and excessive force. A 33-minute video of the altercation, synced with audio from devices worn by Fullerton police that night, shows officers repeatedly striking Thomas with batons and a Taser. The video has been key to the prosecution’s case and helped propel the July 5, 2011, clash to the national spotlight. On the witness stand, Cpl. Stephen Rubio said the Taser that Cicinelli used on Thomas wasn’t working correctly because Thomas continued to fight and the device made a noise that indicated it was being “ineffective.” After watching segments of the video, Rubio -- who trains officers in the Fullerton department -- said Cicinelli hit Thomas three times in the head with the Taser. Officers, he said, are allowed to improvise with their weapons, though they aren’t trained to use a Taser as an impact weapon. Strikes to the head and face can be dangerous depending on what items are used, how hard they land and where they hit the suspect, Rubio said. They’re only acceptable when there’s the threat of great bodily injury or death to an officer. “In the video, all things considered, I don’t see anything out of policy,” Rubio said. A former FBI agent and use-of-force expert who testified for prosecutors last week said hitting a suspect in the head with an impact weapon is considered deadly force. “That would not be good proper police procedure,” John Wilson testified as the surveillance tape of the police encounter with Thomas was played and paused. Thomas died five days after the struggle. A county coroner’s investigation determined that he died of brain damage from lack of oxygen caused by chest compression and injuries to the face. Defense lawyers have argued that the findings were incorrect and he died of a bad heart due to his drug use. Defense attorneys also asked Rubio about a part in the video in which Ramos put on white latex gloves and tells Thomas, “See these fists? ... They’re getting ready to f--- you up.” Prosecutors have identified the moment as the point at which the encounter escalated from routine to deadly. John Barnett, who is representing Ramos, asked Rubio if his client’s words were consistent with his training. “Yes, it was a conditional threat,” Rubio said. “The profanity may be off-color and may be a slight policy violation.” Still the use of words, even profane ones, as a means to avoid endangering an officer or suspect is acceptable, Rubio said. During cross-examination, Senior Assistant Deputy Atty. Jim Tanizaki repeatedly asked Rubio if Ramos was trained to calm tense situations using words when dealing with suspects, in particular with someone believed to be mentally ill. “Sir, I trained him, once again, to communicate with people effectively,” Rubio said, “whether they’re mentally ill or not.” The defense is expected to call its last witness Wednesday morning.

Q: Prove A Combinatorics Equality (Help!) Yesterday I asked following question. It seems that my question is put on hold. ========================================================== Prove following equality. $$\left( \sum\limits_{i=0}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{i} \left[ \sum\limits_{j=0}^{i-1} \binom{n}{j} \right] \right) = 2^{2n},\quad\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^+\;\tag{1}.$$ Please help! Thank you ========================================================== Answer: Intuitively I just figured out that to prove Eq. (1) it is easier if I consider following case. Let Alex have $n+1$ fair coins and Bob have $n$ fair coins, where $n$ is a positive integer. Let $A$ be the event when Alex has more heads than Bob. Eq. (1) is the cardinality of event $A$. The cardinality of event $A^C$ is $$\left( \sum\limits_{i=0}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{i} \left[ \sum\limits_{j=i}^{n} \binom{n}{j} \right] \right) \tag{2}.$$ Then, we can rephrase Eq. (2) into $$|A^C| = \left( \sum\limits_{i=0}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{n+1-i} \left[ \sum\limits_{j=i}^{n} \binom{n}{n-j} \right] \right) \tag{3}.$$ By defining $k = n+1-i$ and $l=n-j$, we can get that $|A| = |A^C|$. The union of event $A$ and $A^C$ forms the sample space $\Omega$. The cardinality of $|\Omega| = 2^{n+1}2^{n} = 2^{2n+1}$. At last, since the facts that $|A| = |A^C|$ and $|\Omega| = 2^{2n+1}$, we can get $|A| = 2^{2n}$ as shown in Eq. (1). Algebraically For me it is easier if I first change Eq. (1) into $$f(n) = \left( \sum\limits_{i=0}^{n} \binom{n}{i} \left[ \sum\limits_{j=i+1}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{j} \right] \right) = 2^{2n},\quad\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^+\;\tag{4}.$$ Then, algebraically $$f(n) = \begin{cases} \overbrace{\sum\limits_{k=0}^{(n-1)/2} \binom{n}{k}}^{= 2^{n-1}} \overbrace{\sum\limits_{l=0}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{l}}^{= 2^{n+1}}, & \text{if $n$ is odd} \\ \sum\limits_{k=0}^{\frac{n}{2}-1} \binom{n}{k} \underbrace{\sum\limits_{l=0}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{l}}_{= 2^{n+1}} + \binom{n}{n/2} \underbrace{\sum\limits_{l=\frac{n}{2}+1}^{n+1}\binom{n+1}{l}}_{= 2^{n+1}/2 = 2^n}, & \text{if $n$ is even.} \end{cases}$$ Next problem is how to prove $f(n) = 2^{2n}$ when $n$ is even. By factoring the $2^n$, we can get $$f(n) = 2^n \underbrace{\left( 2 \sum\limits_{k=0}^{\frac{n}{2}-1} \binom{n}{k} + \binom{n}{n/2} \right)}_{= 2^n}, \text{when $n$ is even}.$$ $$\tag*{$\blacksquare$}$$ A: Hint 1: $$\binom{n+1}{i}=\binom{n}{i}+\binom{n}{i-1}\tag{1}$$ Hint 2: $$\sum_{i=0}^{n}\binom{n}{i}=2^n,\qquad \sum_{i=0}^{n}\binom{n}{i}^2=\binom{2n}{n}\tag{2}$$ Hint 3: $$\sum_{i=0}^{n}f(i)\sum_{j<i}f(j)=\frac{1}{2}\,\left[\left(\sum_{i=0}^{n}f(i)\right)^2-\sum_{i=0}^{n}f(i)^2\right].\tag{3}$$ | High | [

Maybe she will use Kylin soon:) <cfhowlett> ypwong, think kylin will run on a dell vostro 1400? <smartboyhw> ypwong, yep "core ubuntu-docs" <ypwong> cfhowlett, shouldn't be problem <cfhowlett> ypwong, nice. It would be super if there was an english translation option on the main page ... for us ferriners who don't speak Chinese. <smartboyhw> JackYu, ypwong I can recommend you to play with offline docs <ypwong> cfhowlett, ferriners? <ypwong> ah <smartboyhw> ypwong, foreigners;P <cfhowlett> :) <ypwong> i guess it is but cambridge dictionary doesn't have it <cfhowlett> wordplay ... <ypwong> guess i should check urban dictionary, lol <ypwong> smartboyhw, perhaps cjwatson is referring to the ubuntu-docs package? <JackYu> smartboyhw, you mean we prepare kylin-docs ourselves? <smartboyhw> ypwong, yep. <smartboyhw> JackYu, sure:) <ypwong> hmm <smartboyhw> JackYu, ypwong for 13.10 of course <smartboyhw> JackYu, ypwong for example Xubuntu has https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-docs <JackYu> yes, I think so:) <ypwong> will people really read it? <smartboyhw> ypwong, that really depends. <ypwong> honestly i never read ubuntu-docs <JackYu> me too... <JackYu> but someone may read it <cfhowlett> my mistake. there IS an English tab on main site.

Ask JackYu <smartboyhw> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntukylin-release-team <ypwong> i saw some of the test cases are maintained in bzr <smartboyhw> ypwong, that's not a TESTCASE problem, it's a TESTSUITE problem in the ISO QA Tracker. <ypwong> ok, i am sidetracking <JackYu> smartboyhw, ypwong, hi <ypwong> JackYu, hi <smartboyhw> JackYu, hey! <ypwong> just discussing about our tests <JackYu> I'm watch the news about the earthshock <ypwong> JackYu, that's shocking <ypwong> I was at Ya'an few months ago <JackYu> yes,very sad <smartboyhw> JackYu, ypwong the Sichuan 7.0 one? <smartboyhw> extremely sad <smartboyhw> Too many disasters these tiems <smartboyhw> First the Boston bombing, then the explosion in Texas, then this:( <JackYu> yep, we changed our website to black and white this afternoon. <smartboyhw> eee <smartboyhw> JackYu, ypwong can we get back to the main point?;P <JackYu> anyway, what we could do is make UbuntuKylin better. <JackYu> sure. <ypwong> JackYu, there are 5 mandatory tests about installation <ypwong> http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/243/builds/42572/testcases <ypwong> let's see which ones we can remove * smartboyhw votes for the T-shirts :P <smartboyhw> Er too dizzy... <ypwong> t-shirts? <smartboyhw> ypwong, http://www.ubuntukylin.com/ukylin/upload/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=645&extra=page%3D1 <smartboyhw> .. <JackYu> yep, t-shirt for UbuntuKylin <ypwong> haha <smartboyhw> JackYu, grrr Ubuntu Studio is also planning T-shirts:P <smartboyhw> JackYu, ypwong suggested to remove the encryption thing <JackYu> smartboyhw: that's great. Do you have their pictures? <ypwong> too many colours to choose from <smartboyhw> ypwong, I agree <JackYu> smartboyhw: I agree. <smartboyhw> JackYu, which part? <smartboyhw> :P <smartboyhw> We are having two discussions here... <JackYu> remove the encryption thing <ypwong> JackYu, you plan to make t-shirts of 4 different colours? <JackYu> ypwong, I think 3-4 colors are enough. <ypwong> JackYu, and you need to have male and female sizes <JackYu> ypwong, yes, we plan to make 500 pieces this time:) <ypwong> wow <JackYu> smartboyhw: I agree to remove the encryption thing. <ypwong> good <ypwong> smartboyhw, gogogo <smartboyhw> JackYu, OK. Let me do some changes then <JackYu> ypwong, but need agreed by my boss:) <ypwong> JackYu, i thought you are the one to make decision :P <ypwong> then we wait for you <JackYu> ypwong, no, but my boss supports me most time:) <ypwong> sure <smartboyhw> JackYu, ypwong done please check <JackYu> smartboyhw: I was discussing with Ma Jun and jiaowen520li about the testcases today. We want to add some other testcases for ubuntukylin-theme and fctix. What's your opinion? <smartboyhw> JackYu, it's OK as long as you test it:P <smartboyhw> If your testers don't test: No good at adding these <ypwong> JackYu, good idea <smartboyhw> They should all be Run-once though <smartboyhw> No mandatory <ypwong> smartboyhw, can you explain the difference? <smartboyhw> ypwong, Run-once means only 1 pass is OK <smartboyhw> mandatory means that ALL results of that testcase should pass. * smartboyhw felt like an expert :P <JackYu> smartboyhw: I don't get the points:(. Could you explain in Chinese? <smartboyhw> JackYu, uh oh. <smartboyhw> It will take some time, my Chinese typing speed isn't fast. <JackYu> smartboyhw: thanks. <ypwong> smartboyhw, btw, seems there is no a specific image called RC? <smartboyhw> ypwong, it would be produced on Monday. <ypwong> smartboyhw, schedule slipped? <smartboyhw> ypwong, JackYu the Ubuntu Release Team does suggest people to start testing now <ypwong> i see lubuntu has already started <smartboyhw> ypwong, just that the Ubuntu Release Team doesn't create the milestone on the Ubuntu ISO QA Tracker doesn't mean there aren't RCs. <smartboyhw> ypwong, and I did already:p <ypwong> smartboyhw, use the daily image, right? <smartboyhw> ypwong, yep. <JackYu> sure. <JackYu> smartboyhw: I'am planing to start QA next Monday:) <smartboyhw> JackYu, good. <smartboyhw> JackYu, we will be so busy at Thursday:P <JackYu> yep, a busy week:) <smartboyhw> ypwong: Ooh you followed me on Twitter!

I can see it now. Decades from now, when my daughter, Madeline, looks back on the trip to Virginia that she took with her mother, father and grandmother in April of 2013, she’ll say to me, “Remember that time, Dad, when you got all annoyed because I asked you to get off the highway so I could use the bathroom?” By then, it might not matter that we had spent three days with dear relatives in a beautiful state that had become like a second home to us — that Maddie had climbed trees, taken daily bike rides, enjoyed the view of the Rappahannock River, played with her younger cousin and the puppy next door and stood in the very spot where George Washington was born. Nay, the story she will tell her kids — my grandchildren — will be about the time their Grampy tried to thwart her simple and God-given right to answer nature’s call. “Dad, I’ve gotta go to the bathroom,” Maddie told me from the back seat. “Can we stop?” “Really?” I replied, my annoyance immediate and clear. “Yes, Dad. I’ve got to go.” “We were just at the rest stop ten minutes ago. Why didn’t you go then?” “I didn’t have to.” And then I said, “Of course.” I could see Valerie giving me a look that said, “Just get off the next ramp. What’s the big deal?” My mother remained expressionless. She stays out of these things.Deep down, I knew I was making a fuss. We had left Sanford at a little after six that morning, it was now the early afternoon, and we still had a relatively full day stretched ahead of us to get to Virginia in good time. But here’s the thing: We were close to the George Washington Bridge in New York City, right where traffic starts getting really congested and hectic. I’ve driven this route a few times over the years, and I prefer to just get through it without taking detours and repeating a wrong turn I once took. Once I cross the bridge and pass the border into New Jersey and resume cruising on an open highway, I’m all set — we could pull over at every rest stop named after a president, a sports legend or a famous inventor, and I wouldn’t mind.Valerie pointed out a billboard for McDonald’s on our left. The sign said “easy on, easy off,” or something like that to imply simple access — clear proof that even Ronald McDonald knows that motorists who see that advertisement likely will not be inclined to just peel off a major road to get a Big Mac.So I took the exit. As it turned out, getting to the McDonald’s was not easy. It was on the other side of a busy route, and I had to first turn right and drive a bit before I could turn around and head left to get there. Then I missed the entrance to the restaurant because it blended in with a side street and the ways to get to neighboring businesses. Eventually, I just pulled into a service station, exasperated.By now, Mom was laughing pretty hard, in a gallows kind of way, which I admit I appreciated. I knew I was being an impatient grump — by then I had been driving for about seven hours, with five or six more still ahead of us — so I tried to moderate my mood with edgy but comical remarks. After everyone had visited the restroom — yes, as galling as it was, I went too — I apologized for my impatience and initial reluctance to pull off the highway. Maddie, who in several ways is her father’s daughter, teased me about my crankiness. She can do a pretty spot-on impression of me, and it cracks everyone up, myself included. We pointed the car toward the GW Bridge and continued our journey. We listened to the Eighties station on satellite radio — it was playing the top 40 hits of that weekend in 1985 — and I knew I had sealed my Fate. From there, I would be known as The Dad Who Did Not Want To Stop Driving So His Child Could Go To The Bathroom. “Uh-oh,” Maddie would say in the days ahead, before we’d get into the car. “Dad’s driving. If you’ve gotta go, you better go now ’cause we’re not pulling over!” And, of course, as Valerie settled behind the wheel at the start of her driving shift, she’d say, “If any of you have to use the restroom along the way, let me know. I’ll stop.” Ah, serves me right. What comes around, goes around. I’ve become my father, you see. However, before you start singing “The Circle of Life” — you know, that song from “The Lion King” — let me tell you what I mean. Dad planned these sweeping, elaborate trips when my sister and I were kids. He and Mom worked extra hard and saved money all year long to make these vacations happen. In the summer of 1989, we took our biggest trip of all — we spent three weeks out west, traveling through Nevada, Arizona and California and even spending an afternoon across the border in Mexico. One morning, we set out to drive along the Big Sur. We had skipped breakfast at the hotel to hit the road early. Dad had us on a schedule. “All right now,” Dad told us. “This Big Sur’s a long drive. If anyone’s hungry, we better stop now because there won’t be any places to get food for a while.” None of us were hungry at the time, so we passed. “Are you sure?” Dad asked. My sister Kelly and I nodded. We were sure. We didn’t know at the time we’d be going another 12 hours without a bite to eat, but still. We were sure.We drove along the Big Sur, and it was beautiful, and when we finished the route, we continued north. The more we drove, the louder Kelly’s and my bellies started to grumble. We were hungry. Did we beg Dad to pull over to a burger joint somewhere? I can’t remember. I was probably too lightheaded at the time. Kelly and I might have sung “We Are the World” at one point. All I can tell you is that when Dad finally did stop at a restaurant that evening, we had not eaten since dinner the night before.Which restaurant did we choose? A Kentucky Fried Chicken, I think. Maybe a Carl’s, Jr. It didn’t matter. Whatever I ordered, it tasted like filet mignon. Kelly and I teased Dad about this. He became known as The Dad Who Went A Full Day Without Stopping The Car So His Children Could Eat. For years, Kelly and I gave him a rough time — made sport of his Type-A vacation-planning and the busy, time-specific itineraries he set. We never let him forget that 24-hour fast. It drove him crazy. “We spent three weeks out there,” he’d grouse. “We went to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. We went to Disney Land, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Hollywood. We took the NBC tour and ate dessert on Rodeo Drive. We went to San Francisco. And all you guys remember is that 24-hour stretch when we didn’t eat.” “We skipped lunch, Dad.” “But I asked you in the morning if you wanted something to eat before we drove the Big Sur.” Of course Kelly and I remember everything about that trip. It was the ultimate getaway for our family. We had a great time and will remember it forever. But it was always a gas to remind Dad about those food-free 24 hours. So now you see why there’s a certain justice in my being labeled as the father who doesn’t like to stop for bathroom breaks while on long trips. Twenty years from now, Maddie will cherish her memories of Virginia, but the story she’ll tell will be the one I told at the top. | Mid | [

West Brom striker Nicolas Anelka has been suspended for five games and fined £80,000 following an investigation into his 'quenelle’ gesture, the Football Association has announced. The Frenchman performed the goal celebration after scoring in his club’s match against West Ham on December 28. Anelka denied the gesture had any anti-Semitic meaning and was a signal in support of his friend, the French comedian Dieudonne M’bala M’bala, the person who first brought the quenelle to prominence. He and a legal team have mounted a defence this week at an independent regulatory commission’s hearing at the Grove Hotel in Watford. The independent regulatory commission said in a statement on the FA website that the two charges Anelka faced - that the gesture was abusive and/or indecent and/or insulting and/or improper, and that it included a reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or religion or belief - were both found proved. The FA stated: “An independent regulatory commission has found an aggravated breach of FA rule E3 against Nicolas Anelka proven and has issued a five-match suspension and a fine of £80,000, pending appeal.” Importantly, the commission added that it was their finding that Anelka had not been deliberately anti-Semitic. The commission statement said: “So far as the basis for our finding on Charge 2 is concerned, we did not find that Nicolas Anelka is an anti-Semite or that he intended to express or promote anti-Semitism by his use of the quenelle.” The punishment is suspended pending a seven-day period in which Anelka may launch an appeal, unless he decides against appealing, the commission said. | Mid | [

Q: Please help me find a solution for “A generic error occurred in GDI+” I am running windows vista business 64 bit. I have a web service that was written in .NET using C#. I also have a client-side script on a web page that communicates with the web service. This is a aspx page titled "Default.aspx". I setup IIS and moved my web service folder containing the web service and all of the files that are needed to run it including the default.aspx page into C:\inetpub\wwwroot. I opened IIS manager and configured everything properly. http://localhost/mysite/Default.aspx works fine. The page loads. But I now get an error message when trying to upload an image. (There is an image uploader on the Default.aspx page) The purpose is to upload and crop the image before submitting it to the web service: Btw, this whole thing was tested and worked on another computer so I'm not thinking there is a bug in the code although there may be but I'm thinking there's another issue. Since I'm a bit of a newbie, I'd appreciate soo much an answer with instructions to the solution A generic error occurred in GDI+. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException: A generic error occurred in GDI+. Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below. Stack Trace: [ExternalException (0x80004005): A generic error occurred in GDI+.] System.Drawing.Image.Save(String filename, ImageCodecInfo encoder, EncoderParameters encoderParams) +377630 System.Drawing.Image.Save(String filename, ImageFormat format) +69 FaceRecognition._Default.previewBtn_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in D:\Project Details\Layne Projects\DotNet Project\FaceRecognition\FaceRecognition\Default.aspx.cs:114 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) +111 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) +110 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) +10 System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) +13 System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +36 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +1565 A: Without any code posted, it's really difficult to tell. However, given that it is an ASP.NET environment, and it "works on your machine" (or at least, that is the implication), my first impression would be to see if the user that the ASP.NET process is running under has perimissions to write to the directory that you are trying to save the image to. If that is indeed the case, you should assign write permissions to the user that the web application is running under. However, do not assign it to one of the users associated with the IIS process or the ASP.NET process. These are special accounts and you generally shouldn't assign extra permissions to them. Rather, create a standard user and have your web app run under that identity (easy enough to do through web.config) and then give that user the rights to write to the directory that you are saving the image do. If you are impersonating the user that is logged in, then you have to make sure that every user that is trying to save an image has rights to the directory where you are saving. This is best accomplished by putting all of those users in a group and then assigning the permissions and users to that particular group. | Mid | [

This application claims the Paris convention priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 11-294477/1999 filed on Oct. 15, 1999, which is incorporated herein by reference. The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery, and more particularly, it relates to improvement of a negative electrode active material for the purpose of improving the charge-discharge cycle performance of a lithium secondary battery. In a lithium secondary battery, the battery characteristics such as the charge-discharge voltage, the charge-discharge cycle performance and the storage characteristic are greatly varied depending upon active materials used in its positive and negative electrodes. As an active material of the negative electrode, metallic lithium is well known. In a lithium secondary battery using metallic lithium, lithium is deposited from the electrolyte during charge and is dissolved into the electrolyte during discharge. Although the lithium secondary battery can attain a high energy density per unit weight and unit volume by using metallic lithium, there arises a problem that lithium is deposited in the form of dendrite on the negative electrode during charge, resulting in causing internal short-circuit. In order to overcome this problem, metallic aluminum has been proposed as a negative electrode active material usable instead of metallic lithium (Journal of Power Sources, 12 (1984), pp. 145-153). In a lithium secondary battery using metallic aluminum, lithium is inserted into the metallic aluminum during charge and is released from the metallic aluminum during discharge. Differently from the use of metallic lithium where lithium is dissolved and deposited, the metallic aluminum merely serves as a host for absorbing and discharging lithium. Accordingly, there is no fear of the deposition, during charge, of dendritic lithium causing internal short-circuit. Metallic aluminum, however, largely expands by absorbing lithium and largely shrinks by discharging lithium. In other words, the volume is largely and repeatedly changed during charge-discharge cycles. As a result, the metallic aluminum is changed into a fine powder and its current collecting property is degraded, resulting in degrading the charge-discharge cycle performance. This is the reason why a lithium secondary battery using metallic aluminum as the negative electrode active material is practically used as a backup battery for a memory merely at a small depth of charge-discharge of approximately several percentages in spite of its theoretical capacity (i.e., 992 mAh/g) much larger than that of graphite (i.e., 372 mAh/g). Accordingly, an object of the invention is providing a lithium secondary battery exhibiting good charge-discharge cycle performance by using a negative electrode active material with small volume change during charge and discharge. The lithium secondary battery of this invention (present battery) comprises a positive electrode; a negative electrode; and a nonaqueous electrolyte, and the negative electrode uses an active material formed from an alloy including an A phase of a first intermetallic compound (A), and a B phase of a second intermetallic compound (B) having the same constituent elements as and a different composition from the first intermetallic compound (A) and/or a C phase consisting of one of the constituent elements of the first intermetallic compound (A), and at least one of the A phase, the B phase and the C phase is capable of electrochemically absorbing and discharging lithium ions. As a result, the lithium secondary battery of this invention can exhibit good charge-discharge cycle performance. | Mid | [

Our laboratory studies the molecular pathogenesis of human lymphoid malignancies and has three primary goals: to establish a new molecular diagnosis of human lymphoid malignancies using gene expression profiling, to elucidate the oncogenic pathways that result in malignant transformation of normal B lymphocytes, and to identify molecular targets for development of novel therapeutics for these cancers. To provide a molecular basis for the diagnosis of human lymphoid malignancies, we are exploiting DNA microarray technology to profile gene expression in these cancers on a genomic scale. The laboratory created a novel DNA microarray, the "Lymphochip", which is enriched in genes that are expressed in and/or function in lymphocytes (1). We have used Lymphochip and Affymetrix microarrays to profile gene expression in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (2-4), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (5, 6), mantle cell lymphoma (7), follicular lymphoma (8), multiple myeloma (9), and in a wide variety of normal lymphoid subsets (2, 10-13). One central goal of these studies is to relate gene expression to clinical outcome, thereby establishing a quantitative, reproducible and informative molecular diagnosis of the lymphoid malignancies (14). Our studies have revealed previously unknown types of diffuse large B cell lymphoma that are indistinguishable by current diagnostic methods, but which have strikingly distinct gene expression profiles, originate from different stages of B cell differentiation, utilize distinct oncogenic mechanisms, and differ in their ability to be cured by current chemotherapy (2-4). For several lymphoid malignancies, we have identified molecular profiles that predict the length of survival or the ability to be cured by chemotherapy, thereby providing clinically useful prognostic indicators. Our laboratory has mounted a major effort to create a diagnostic microarray that could provide these molecular diagnoses and prognoses to patients with lymphoid malignancies. Importantly, the genes that are associated with clinical prognosis have provided new targets for therapy of the lymphoid malignancies. Our laboratory uses functional genomics, chemical genetics and molecular biological techniques to validate these and other molecular targets, towards the ultimate goal of targeted therapies for patients aimed directly at the disordered regulatory biology of their individual tumors. MOLECULAR DIAGNOSIS OF LYMPHOID MALIGNANCIES Molecularly and clinically distinct diseases within diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) DLBCL has long been enigmatic in that 40 percent of patients can be cured by combination chemotherapy whereas the remainder succumb to this disease. By gene expression profiling, the laboratory discovered that DLBCL is actually comprised of at least three different diseases that are indistinguishable by current diagnostic methods (2-4, 15). As detailed below, these DLBCL subgroups can be considered distinct diseases in that they originate from B cells at different stages of differentiation, utilize distinct oncogenic mechanisms, and differ significantly in their survival rates following chemotherapy. DLBCL subgroups originate from distinct stages of B cell development One subgroup of DLBCL, termed germinal center B cell-like (GCB) DLBCL, expresses genes that are hallmarks of normal germinal center B cells. By contrast, another DLBCL subgroup, termed activated B cell-like (ABC) DLBCL, lacks expression of germinal center B cell-restricted genes and instead expresses genes that are induced during mitogenic stimulation of blood B cells (2). These two subgroups of DLBCL differ in the expression of thousands of genes, and in this respect they are as different as acute myelogenous leukemia is from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Clues to the normal cellular counterparts of these DLBCL subgroups have been provided by our laboratory's analysis of regulatory factors that control the differentiation of germinal center B cells to plasma cells. We and others showed that BCL-6 is a transcriptional repressor that is required for mature B cells to differentiate into germinal center B cells during an immune response (16, 17). Normal germinal center B cells express BCL-6 at high levels but BCL-6 expression is silenced during plasmacytic differentiation. DLBCLs belonging to the GCB subgroup express BCL-6 at high levels but those belonging to the ABC subgroup do not. BCL-6 is deregulated by chromosomal translocations in roughly 20% of DLBCLs, but the high expression of BCL-6 in GCB DLBCLs is not accounted for by these translocations. Rather, BCL-6 is expressed in GCB DLBCLs along with a host of other germinal center B cell restricted-genes because these DLBCLs are derived from normal germinal center B cells and retain much of their biology. In keeping with this notion, GCB DLBCLs have ongoing somatic hypermutation of their immunoglobulin genes, a characteristic feature of normal germinal center B cells (18). The cell of origin of ABC DLBCL has not been fully elucidated, but may be a plasmablastic B cell that is poised to exit the germinal center. Support for this notion comes from our laboratory's analysis of two regulatory factors that are required for plasmacytic differentiation, Blimp-1 (19) and XBP1 (20). By gene expression profiling, our laboratory demonstrated that BCL-6 blocks the expression of Blimp-1, and when BCL-6 activity was inhibited in a lymphoma cell line, Blimp-1 was induced and plasmacytic differentiation was initiated (21). We went on to show that Blimp-1 is a transcriptional repressor that extinguishes the expression of virtually all germinal center B cell genes, including BCL-6 (22). Blimp-1 and BCL-6 thus form a double negative autoregulatory loop that controls plasmacytic differentiation. Blimp-1 enables the expression of XBP1, which our laboratory showed is a master regulator of the secretory phenotype of plasma cells (23). XBP1 induces the expression of a large set of genes encoding components of the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi, leading to a dramatic expansion of the secretory apparatus (23). In addition, XBP1 increases the overall rate of protein synthesis by 50%, which contributes to the high rate of immunoglobulin secretion by plasma cells (23). In comparison to GCB DLBCLs, ABC DLBCLs are characterized by high expression of XBP1 and its target genes, as well as Blimp-1 (4). This phenotype is similar to that of a rare subpopulation of plasmablasts in the germinal center, which are thought to be in the process of migrating to the bone marrow where they will differentiate fully into plasma cells (24, 25). ABC DLBCLs do not express a variety of other genes that characterize normal plasma cells and multiple myeloma, suggesting that they are derived from a cell that is intermediate between a germinal center B cell and a plasma cell. In support of this notion, ABC DLBCLs have somatically mutated immunoglobulin genes, and therefore are derived from a B cell that has likely traversed the germinal center (18). However, in contrast to GCB DLBCLs, ABC DLBCLs have a fixed complement of immunoglobulin gene mutations, suggesting that the somatic hypermutation machinery has been inactivated as occurs normally during plasmacytic differentiation. Primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma: A distinct subgroup of DLBCL related to Hodgkin lymphoma Recently, we and others developed a molecular diagnosis of a third subgroup of DLBCL, termed primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBL) (15, 26). PMBL cannot be reliably distinguished from other types of DLBCL by current clinical criteria. PMBL was readily distinguished from GCB and ABC DLBCL by the expression of hundreds of genes, and we were able to develop a molecular diagnosis of PMBL. | High | [

2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI) is a psychedelic drug and a substituted amphetamine. Unlike many other substituted amphetamines, however, it is not primarily a stimulant. DOI has a stereocenter and R-(−)-DOI is the more active stereoisomer. In neuroscience research, [125I]-R-(−)-DOI is used as a radioligand and indicator of the presence of 5-HT2A serotonin receptors. DOI's effects have been compared to LSD, although there are differences that experienced users can distinguish. Besides the longer duration, the trip tends to be more energetic than an LSD trip, with more body load and a different subjective visual experience. The after effects include residual stimulation and difficulty sleeping, which, depending on the dose, may persist for days. While rare, it is sometimes sold as a substitute for LSD, or even sold falsely as LSD, which may be dangerous because DOI does not have the same established safety profile as LSD. Research Research suggests that administration of (R)-DOI blocks pulmonary inflammation, mucus hyper-production, airway hyper-responsiveness and turns off key genes in in-lung immune response. These effects block the development of allergic asthma in a mouse model. Several 5-HT2A agonist hallucinogens including (R)-2,5-Dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine DOI, TCB-2, LSD and LA-SS-Az have unexpectedly also been found to act as potent inhibitors of TNF, with DOI being the most active, showing TNF inhibition in the picomolar range, an order of magnitude more potent than its action as a hallucinogen. Pharmacology DOI is a 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptor agonist. DOI has been shown to be an extremely potent inhibitor of tumour necrosis factor-alpha inflammation at picomolar concentrations in cell studies. TNF-alpha is an important target for research into degenerative conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease, where the disease process involves tissue damage through chronic inflammation. This could make DOI and other 5-HT2A agonists an entirely new area for development of novel treatments for these conditions. DOI has also been shown to induce rapid growth and reorganization of dendritic spines and synaptic connections with other neurons, processes known to underlie neuroplasticity. History DOI was first synthesized by Alexander Shulgin. The radioactive iodine-125 form of DOI for PET imaging was first developed in the lab of David E. Nichols. In January 2007, British police reported that three young men had fallen ill, reportedly, after taking DOI at a rave in Biggleswade, near Milton Keynes, and warned others who had taken it to seek medical attention. This would appear to be the first indication that DOI has found more widespread use as a recreational drug in the UK. Legal status Australia The Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP) of Australia does not list DOI as a prohibited substance. Canada Listed as a Schedule 1 as it is an analogue of amphetamine. The CDSA was updated as a result of the Safe Streets Act changing amphetamines from Schedule 3 to Schedule 1. Denmark Illegal since 8 April 2007. Sweden Sveriges riksdag added DOI to schedule I ("substances, plant materials and fungi which normally do not have medical use") as narcotics in Sweden as of August 30, 2007, published by Medical Products Agency in their regulation LVFS 2007:10 listed as DOI, 4-jod-2,5-dimetoxi-amfetamin. United States DOI is not scheduled in the United States, but it is likely that DOI would be considered an analog (of DOB), in which case, sales or possession could be prosecuted under the Federal Analogue Act. DOI is occasionally used in animal and in vitro research. Scheduling DOI could cause problems for medical researchers. US State of Florida DOI is a Schedule I controlled substance in the state of Florida.

Jan lost track of the violent turns and twists Aurelie executed as they attempted to evade their hypothetical pursuers. The car skidded over a rocky outcrop and spun wildly, but with a sharp turn of the wheel Aurelie brought it back under control. Its headlights were dipped, making it almost impossible to see more than a few metres ahead, yet somehow they never collided with anything truly dangerous. Christo stripped off his jacket, revealing a long open wound on his shoulder. ‘Don’t look so worried, it’s just a graze. The guards were half asleep, but with the volume of fire they were pumping out, one of them had to get lucky.’ ‘How many were on you?’ Jan said, dumbfounded. The car swerved again and they were nearly thrown out of their seats. ‘Not more than twenty,’ Christo replied nonchalantly. ‘They were much more cautious once we had our hostage.’ Reaching underneath the seat with his good arm, Christo opened a first aid kit and handed a bottle of antiseptic and dressing to Jan. Without a word, Jan raised the bottle and tipped the strong-smelling substance onto the revolutionary’s shoulder, reaching up to apply the dressing. His first attempt was interrupted as the transport skipped over a low stream, but on his second attempt the dressing stuck. Christo gritted his teeth. ‘What’s the plan here?’ Jan demanded. ‘Because you’ll be lucky if those above just kill you after they discover there’s one of them in the flatbed of this truck.’ ‘The Dyn are paranoid and protective of their own; observe how carefully they wall themselves off from the outside world,’ said Aurelie. ‘They will be cautious because we have a valuable hostage. Arco will receive orders to stand off and observe.’ ‘I know how a hostage works!’ Jan exploded. ‘But sooner or later they’re going to attempt to retrieve it. You’ve just made yourselves Arco’s priority!’ ‘It won’t matter, we just need Arco to hesitate. Just a few days. Until -’ Christo cut himself off at a brief glance from Aurelie. Jan felt a jolt of worry; what counted as a step up from this? He slumped back into the seat, trying to calm jangling nerves. Without warning, Aurelie swerved off the rough track they’d been following and ploughed deep into the undergrowth. Fronds of false life lashed against the windscreen, leaving sticky smears where they hit. ‘What’s wrong?’ Christo shouted. ‘Aircraft, sounds like a drone,’ answered Aurelie, slamming on the breaks as the car buried itself in a dense thicket. She killed the lights and engine. ‘Help me with the camo.’ Jan complied without question, taking his cue from Christo. Together they hastily fumbled the camo sheet over the vehicle, ignoring the shrill clicking emanating from the thing lashed down in the flatbed. They clambered back into the darkened cab, pulling the sheet down behind them. For a moment Jan couldn’t hear anything beyond the prisoner and their own heavy breathing. But then he heard the aircraft, an almost inaudible low droning, growing closer. The sound rose and fell as it circled above, making one pass after another. ‘Are you sure it can’t see us?’ hissed Jan. ‘The camo will hide us, it’ll even keep our heat signature hidden for a bit, but if the drone operators can hear over the sound of their own engines then we’re screwed,’ cursed Christo. ‘Any way to shut up our passenger, Aurelie?’ Sat in the pitch black confines of the cab the Dyn sounded uncomfortably close, still singing like some demented cicada. ‘Unfortunately Dynic physiology makes that challenging,’ she replied. ‘But it’s unlikely that the drone’s even equipped with mics. Just wait, it will pass.’ Christo fidgeted impatiently in the seat besides her. The minutes oozed by, the cab growing ever more stuffy, until finally the drone moved on and at last the thing in the flatbed quietened. Whether it had simply exhausted itself or realised the futility of its actions, Jan neither knew nor cared. Aurelie insisted they wait another couple of minutes before revealing themselves. They finally reemerged from the jungle a couple of hours later, the dark canopy replaced by the half-light of the predawn sky. Jan scanned it nervously. The sun, still below the horizon, glinted off the wings of a distant drone. It circled like some vast carrion bird. ‘Not to worry,’ Christo said, as Aurelie pulled into a makeshift depot. ‘We’ll be moving on soon enough.’ Guards displaying the revolutionary insignia waved them in. ‘I thought we were returning to Fifteen,’ Jan said, looking to Christo for an answer. ‘Ha, no, way too much heat! Besides, that part of the journey is over,’ the man smiled. The car wound its way through piled construction materials and industrial machinery until Aurelie stopped alongside a vast warehouse. Pao emerged from behind a sheet of camouflage netting, dressed in cutoff fatigues. A long bayoneted rifle hung from a shoulder strap. He flicked on a torch and waved it in through the cab windows, dazzling Jan. ‘You took your time,’ he said with a scowl. Then his eyes shifted to the still-twitching shape in the flatbed and his face bleached. ‘First that wastelander and now this… You just taking in anything out the jungle these days?’ ‘Oh, do shut up,’ Christo grinned as he climbed out of the car, jabbing a hand in the direction of the covered alien. ‘Get some of the others out here and tie the Dyn down up top.’ ‘Hell, I wondered what had Arco’s spotters so riled up, but you’ve cracked if you think we’re taking that onboard -’ ‘Just get it done, Pao. Lash it down securely where anyone who might be watching from, say, five hundred kilometers up, should be able to spot it. Comprende?’ ‘There’s no way we’ll get away with this,’ Pao said, hands shifting in the direction of his rifle. ‘This is the only way we’ll get away with this,’ Christo snapped, voice hardening. Pao grunted something unintelligible, lifting the camouflage netting to allow Jan, Aurelie and Christo to pass into the warehouse. It reminded Jan of a factory. A column of rebels passed in the opposite direction, some pausing to nod or greet Christo, while Aurelie somehow contrived to remain invisible even in the centre of the crush. It was bewildering; there was more heavy machinery than Jan had ever seen in one place before. Hot steam gushed from loose joints and sparks cascaded from things being welded to a structure that filled the warehouse. There was a sense of anticipation that was almost tangible. Whatever it was they were working on was almost complete. Jan didn’t bother to ask where they were going next or how they were going to get there; he knew Christo well enough to realize he wouldn’t give a straight answer to such questions. Instead, without instruction or inclination to the contrary, he followed Christo and Aurelie up a set of stairs that wound upwards for what had to be more than a dozen metres. They emerged into a raised control room. Whilst Aurelie and Christo examined the banks of controls Jan looked down at the wide deck beneath, covered with netting. Small lights on the deck provided the only illumination, making the shape of the huge structure hard to discern. Men and women rushed to drag the netting away, revealing missile batteries and gun turrets. ‘It’s a fort,’ Jan said, incredulous. ‘You could say that,’ Christo said. ‘It’s certainly built to keep the outside world… outside. But we’ll need to be more proactive about that from now on. Thick walls won’t be enough.’ A klaxon sounded. Aurelie turned to Christo. ‘They’ve found us,’ she said. He merely nodded. Jan heard shouts filtering up from the deck as netting was thrown from the flanks, revealing slats of grey armour. He thought he recognised Pao’s voice from somewhere behind, yelling orders to tie the prisoner down. A cascade of bright spotlights ignited up out of nowhere, illuminating the deck fully. Jan glanced down and saw a huge white sawtoothed shape stretching across the entire deck – the ubiquitous insignia of the revolution. ‘There’s no way anyone could ignore what we’re about to do, you see,’ Christo said with a nonchalant shrug. ‘So there’s no more point in being subtle.’ Jan gaped as more lights came on, revealing the full size of the base. Jan could now see that it tapered to a blunt point ahead of him. The deck started to rumble as if all the heavy piping beneath them was breaking apart. ‘There’ll be here in a couple of minutes – helicopters, at least fifty soldiers. Drones are already overhead.’ The rumbling grew in intensity until it was a roar, drowning out everything. ‘Aurelie, everything’s ready. Let’s get going!’ Christo shouted, grinning. ‘Launch!’ he cried into a mic, to cheers from the occupied decks below. The world-ending roar reached a climax and Jan stared ahead as the entire structure lurched forward, the warehouse wall ahead of them tearing like paper. The vast vehicle, no fort, departed from its hiding place with ponderous acceleration, annihilating a grove of trees and trailing discarded netting. Jan’s mind flashed back to the days before, to the trail of uprooted trees he’d spotted just before his first encounter with the revolution. He was beginning to understand how, but not why. ‘Do you want the drones shot down?’ asked Aurelie, a wry smile playing across her lips. ‘Let them watch!’ Christo called back, laughing. ‘You’re mad,’ Jan shouted over the thunder of the engines, shaking his head, but laughing all the same. ‘My friend, it is the world around us that is mad,’ Christo winked. ‘What would be crazy is reacting to this insanity in an ordinary manner.’ | Low | [

Q: Ansi C - programming language book of K&R - header file inclusion Going through the K&R ansi C programming language book (second version), on page 82 an example is given for a programming files/folders layout. What I don't understand is, while calc.h gets included in main (use of functions), getop.c (definition of getop) and stack.c (definition of push and pop), it does not get included into getch.c, even though getch and ungetch are defined there. A: Although it's a good idea to include the header file it's not required as getch.c doesn't actually use the function declared in calc.h, it could even get by if it only used those already defined in getch.c. The reason it's a good idea to include the header file anyway is because it would provide some safety if you use modern style prototypes and definitions. The compiler should namely complain if for example getop isn't defined in getop.c with the same signature as in calc.h. | Mid | [

Sheet2 Automatically display filtered criteria based on double click from Sheet1 For example: when I double click on C1, on Sheet2 will automatically diplay filtered data based on A1 and B1 and same thing goes to if I double clik on C2 on Sheet2 will automatically diplay filtered data based on A1 and B2. Really need help from the experts here. A: This would be the code you need to catch your single-click event: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Debug.Print Target.Address End Sub This would be the code you need to catch your double-click event: Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean) Debug.Print Target.Address 'cancel the double click, prohibiting editng of cell per double-click Cancel = true End Sub I would have helped you with your filtering too, but since you did not paste any code to that, and I don't get how excactly you want what data to be filtered, I'll leave that up to you ;) Edit: This code can be used for Worksheet_SelectionChange and will set a filter based on a valid selection inside the used range.

Thanks. //Daniel A: Use: format-number(translate(., ',','.'), '#.###,000', 'd') This transformation: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="text"/> <xsl:decimal-format name="d" decimal-separator="," grouping-separator="."/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:value-of select= "format-number(translate(., ',','.'), '#.###,000', 'd')"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> when applied on the provided XML document: <Add_Amount>2,59</Add_Amount> produces the wanted result: 2,590 The problem with your code is that 2,59 isn't a valid number and must be converted to such, before passing this as the first argument of format-number(). A: The extra call to translate() in Dimitre Novatchev's answer seems unnecessary. The use of <xsl:decimal-format> should be enough, like this: <xsl:decimal-format name="euroFormat" decimal-separator="," grouping-separator="."/> <xsl:value-of select="format-number(text(), '###.###,00', 'euroFormat')"/> | High | [

An NFL locker room is jammed with players who come from tough neighborhoods. Growing up on the mean streets is about survival. Weston Richburg is a highly regarded center who soon will complete his journey to the NFL that began on a farm in the Texas Panhandle. Growing up on a farm is about work. "When I was younger, I remember thinking I'd rather sleep in than get up early to take care of animals," Richburg said. "But that was a very valuable experience for me. Looking back on it now, I loved it. It taught me so many lessons. I wouldn't change it for a second." Richburg, who has an animal science degree from Colorado State, was driving his Chevy truck last week from Glendale, Ariz., where he visited with the NFL Cardinals, to his hometown of Bushland, Texas. How many college prospects projected to be drafted in the first or second round drive home from their visit with an NFL team? Then again, there is something special about Bushland. Its population has remained steady at 130, yet it has produced not only Richburg but another NFL prospect from CSU: tight end Crockett Gillmore. It's been a heady ride for Richburg, who was lightly recruited out of his small high school, then quietly made 50 consecutive starts in four seasons at CSU. From these humble roots, Richburg suddenly is dealing with the considerable attention that is bestowed upon arguably the No. 1-rated center available in the burgeoning industry that is the NFL draft. "Can he become one of the top two or three centers in the league in two or three years? That's the goal," said LeCharles Bentley, a former Pro Bowl center who has trained Richburg this offseason in Scottsdale, Ariz. "He's going to have a long career" An NFL player arrives at his team's headquarters around 7 a.m. four days a week, six months a year, to watch film, attend meetings, lift weights, do conditioning and practice football. That's not work. Work is getting up at 6 a.m. seven days a week, 365 days a year, from the age of kindergarten to feed the cows and pigs, tend to the pens, and whatever other chores Danny and Ruth might have for Weston and their two younger children. And then go to school and football practice before coming home to another round of farm chores. The football men who have worked with Richburg say they can tell he grew up with a farm boy's work ethic. "There is no doubt," said CSU coach Jim McElwain. "He's what I would call a gym rat. He's in the film room. He gets it." "All he talks about is those darn pigs," Bentley said. "He's one of those guys who when you leave at night, you see his truck in the parking lot, and when you show up first thing in the morning, his truck is already there in the same spot." There are plenty of country-strong boys growing up across the rural prairies, though, who don't become top NFL prospects. Richburg grew up to become 6-foot-3½ and between 298 and 310 pounds. "It depends on how many burritos I eat before I weigh in," he said of his weight. All of that mass, coupled with terrific hand and footwork technique, allows Richburg to push around the nose tackle playing across from him. Also, his athleticism and nimble feet permit his big body to get out on linebackers and cornerbacks. "He's a physical guy who has really learned how to get his second step in the ground and move the guy across from him," McElwain said. "I think he's going to have a long career." Manning could be new teammate Know which NFL team could use a young center? The Broncos. They have Richburg under consideration for the No. 31 pick in the draft, which starts May 8. They also need a cornerback and middle linebacker, so difficult decisions will have to be made. Richburg probably won't be there when the Broncos pick again in the second round with the No. 63 overall selection. Too many teams drafting in front of them — such as the New York Giants (No. 43 pick), Detroit (45), Arizona (52), Green Bay (53) and New Orleans (58) — also could use a center. Would the Broncos trust a rookie center to team with ever-audibling quarterback Peyton Manning? "Just thinking about that, that would be a heck of an opportunity to play with the best quarterback in the history of the NFL," Richburg said. "It would be very difficult because his expectations are so high. He's very knowledgeable. I think it would be like snapping to your head coach. If you don't do something right, I'm sure he gets after the guys. But for development as a young guy, it would be such an opportunity." Imagine Manning, who is known for his unmatched work ethic, showing up very early in the morning at Broncos headquarters, only to have company in the offensive film room. Boulder is pretty good at producing rock bands, and by "rock," we mean the in-your-face, guitar-heavy, leather-clad variety — you know, the good kind. For a prime example, look no farther than BANDITS. Full Story | Mid | [

Q: How to execute t-sql script using java? I have found the following links for executing script using java i.e. How to execute sql-script file in java? . But it is specific to postgre and mysql. I am looking for same solution for executing script in Sql server 2005. I am not acquinted with SQL Command Line. I have to make a batch containing series of calling different method of a class which also include the executing the script in the middle of batch. I googled it. But, i am not able to find the solution for my problem. Thanks in advance. A: Instead of a dirty solution like stored procedures, why don't you try the one found in How to execute sql-script file in java?? Instead of the psql command, try Sqlcmd -Shostname\dbname -U username -p password -i sqlscriptfile This should connect to the database, using SQL Server authentication, and run the script you specify. Pablo's answer in the referenced question should do the rest. Depending on your path, you might need to alter the 'Sqlcmd' bit to reflect the location of the program on your machine. To learn more about the command line utility, check out this article on databasejournal.com. | High | [

Self-exchange reaction of [Ni(mnt)2](1-,2-) in nonaqueous solutions. The rate constant, k, for the homogeneous electron transfer (self-exchange) reaction between the diamagnetic bis(maleonitriledithiolato)nickel dianion, [Ni(mnt) 2] (2-), and the paramagnetic monoanion, [Ni(mnt) 2] (1-), has been determined in acetone and nitromethane (CH 3NO 2) using (13)C NMR line widths at 22 degrees C (mnt = 1,2-S 2C 2(CN) 2). The values of k (2.91 x 10 (6) M (-1) s (-1) in acetone, 5.78 x 10 (6) M (-1) s (-1) in CH 3NO 2) are faster than those for the electron transfer reactions of other Ni(III,II) couples; the structures of [Ni(mnt) 2] (1-) and [Ni(mnt) 2] (2-) allow for a favorable overlap that lowers the free energy of activation. The values of k are consistent with the predictions of Marcus theory. In addition to k, the spin-lattice relaxation time, T 1e, of [Ni(mnt) 2] (1-) is obtained from the NMR line width analysis; the values are consistent with those predicted by spin relaxation theory. | Mid | [

Relation of virus particle counts to the hemagglutinating activity of influenza virus suspensions measured by the HA pattern test and by use of the photometric HCU method. The ratios of the number of virus (n.v.p.) to the hemagglutinating activity were determined for a series of influenza A and B strains using both the photometric HCU method and the HA pattern test. The logarithms of the ratios of n.v.p./hcu ranged from 7.06 to 7.54 and the logarithms of the ratios of n.v.p./HA from 6.87 to 7.56. While the n.v.p./HA ratios of different strains showed significant differences in a number of cases, such differences were not found for the n.v.p./HCU ratios with the only exception of the strain B/Hong Kong/8/73 differing uniformly from the other strains tested. Since the standard deviation of HCU values ranged from 0.006 to 0.039 log units and that of HA titers from 0.076 to 0.272 log units, it was concluded that the differences of n.v.p./HA ratios found were due to the range of variance of HA tests and did not reflect strain specific differences. The degree of purity of virus suspensions was found not to influence measurably the log n.v.p./HCU values. | High | [

It looks like New Zealand's property market may have reached a floor, and the worst could be over for property market activity, argues CoreLogic's head of research Nick Goodall. The residential property market seems finely balanced at the moment. Sales volumes continue to be constrained, with September’s sales down another 2.3% year-on-year after dropping 13% and 23% in 2016 and 2017 respectively - but this was only the second time that volumes have dropped since the start of the year: I believe that we’ve essentially reached a floor. This is backed by credit flows, which have actually increased over 2018 - suggesting that the market has adjusted to the overall tightening over the last two years, with buyers managing to raise the required deposits, survive greater scrutiny on their income and expenses and satisfy stricter serviceability tests. According to the CoreLogic Buyer Classification series, both first home buyers and multiple property owners actually increased their share of nationwide sales in Q3, and their relative strength indicates a general market confidence for those who are able to secure the finance required. This confidence will stem from a strong labour market, forecasted GDP growth (even if it’s slowing) and low interest rates - both current and forecasted. Plus, we have a possible relaxation of the LVR limits on the horizon, which could add to market demand. The balance then, comes from the continued focus on property investors – most recently in the form of the Tax Working Group’s interim report. The Group seems to favour recommending some form of tax on capital income, but it has to balance a number of considerations, not least administration and compliance costs, on top of dealing with the complexities in how to treat the different types of capital assets. In a recent seminar headed by the Working Group’s chair Sir Michael Cullen, it was estimated that 75% of their time between now and February 2019 when the final report is due will be spent on the capital income recommendation. So there’s a lot more discussion to be had, and still no guarantee the final recommendation will include a capital asset tax, let alone be pursued by the current coalition government. It’s fair to expect that any further taxes will negatively impact the market, meaning profits and subsequently the attractiveness of investment property will reduce, but I don’t think seasoned investors will be completely put off. It may well add an extra barrier for a newer generation of potential property investors, who may increasingly opt for other investment vehicles, including term deposits, commercial property, the NZ sharemarket or even the US stock market which is becoming increasingly easier to access with the introduction of overseas share purchase platforms. But we’re a long way from that investment behaviour change eventuating, let alone having any serious impact on the NZ property market. Overall, as always, there are positives and negatives, but the balance of evidence currently available suggests to me that the worst is over for property market activity. Comments from our readers On 25 October 2018 at 10:23 am Winka said: Except....what about the overseas situation (other than it being well situated) and it's inevitable effect on our economy? Interest rates are in 'rise' mode in the USA. Corporate debt is off the scale in places like Turkey and a couple of south American countries. The fact that the big five USA banks are teetering on the bad edge of risk, being that they have nothing left as tangible assets than derivatives, so the bail-out that we saw in the GFC period cannot be repeated!? Also, the fact that we are experiencing a 'bubble' phenomenon ( more sellers than buyers) in our property market...and lastly, that there is an inevitable convergence looming where FOUR negative-effect cycles will happen within +- a year, I do not accept your analysis as anything much more than an attempt at 'pushing the barrow' and trying to talk a radically ready-to-crash market up? 'Gut feel' tells me to watch this space within the next approx 12 months and see who is more correct! Otherwise the old saying of "when overseas markets get a cold, we get pneumonia is all just useless chat? Are Kiwis aware that our banks rely on a large portion of their loan funds from overseas banks (and their rising interest rates?). Crikey....Japan hit our part of this property cycle around 27 years ago, and has never recovered...nor has any light on the horizon, but maybe that's another story in the coming saga?

On 27 October 2018 at 12:41 pm Winka said: No.....the GFC around 2007/8 was a bit of a recession. what is looming on the horizon is something more serious than that....a Depression. However, just be aware of the fact that as in the depression of 1939 era, several individuals weathered that 'storm' quite well, meaning that there are select opportunities, and also places to keep (your money) well away from. there will be many in NZ who will choose to invest their money into housing (when it crashes) however, they will be people who remain numb to the Japanese example referred to, and they will invest into the 'perceived bargains' only to be 'rewarded' with the fact that those house will remain static for long enough to render their 'bargain-investment/s' a wasted exercise in most cases. When they leave their money in those dormant assets that do not show any appreciable 'inflation' of value, they effectively will cement in a real loss on their money due to loss of gains in some other better asset?! Remember....those four cycles destined to converge virtually at one time soon. Alongside the HUGE corporate debt worldwide (approaching USD$60 Trillion now) and the recipe is already "in the bowl & mixed"! That $60 trillion will be defaulting. Oh, my way of demonstrating the huge-ness of just ONE trillion is not in stating how many zeros it is. If you count at the rate of one per second, 24/7, every day and every night, how long would it take to count to just ONE trillion....a month. or six months...or 5 years? It will take you 36,000 years..!! Just to count to ONE trillion. I'm talking about 50 trillion of debt, & rising. Crikey...there will be readers who will claim that I am just a doomsday freak, predicting nothing but financial Armageddon, however, I will just respond by stating that they will sadly be the "un-prepared losers"? Those with a "barrow to push" we will see as virtually the only ones promoting their 'wares', and that makes sense, because that is how they make sales...and their living, to pay their bills, and feed the family and so on. We can all have our say. Time (and not a long time) will be the proof of the pudding in this "recipe" that I (and a few knowledgeable colleagues) have raised?

Between now and Opening Day, HardballTalk will take a look at each of baseball’s 30 teams, asking the key questions, the not-so-key questions, and generally breaking down their chances for the 2015 season. Next up: The Chicago White Sox. The Big Question: Should we be taking the rebuilt White Sox seriously as contenders? It got largely overshadowed by the non-stop wheeling and dealing in San Diego, but the White Sox also had an extremely busy offseason as general manager Rick Hahn attempted to turn an 89-loss team into a potential contender in one winter. Hahn beefed up the rotation behind ace Chris Sale by trading for impending free agent Jeff Samardzija, remade the bullpen by signing closer David Robertson and setup man Zach Duke, added a pair of good bats to the lineup in first baseman Adam LaRoche and outfielder Melky Cabrera, and even gave manager Robin Ventura a bit more bench versatility in utility man Emilio Bonifacio. Hahn had a busy, productive, high-impact offseason, but will it be enough to pull the White Sox up from 73 wins to the 85-plus typically required to be a factor deep into September? Fortunately for the White Sox they were starting with two hugely valuable, young building blocks in Sale, who finished third in the Cy Young balloting at age 25, and first baseman Jose Abreu, who won the Rookie of the Year award and finished fourth in the MVP balloting at age 27. Not many 73-win teams have two elite players around which to build. Sale won’t be ready for Opening Day after breaking his foot in late February, but assuming he’s back in the rotation by mid-April the White Sox top three of Sale, Samardzija, and Jose Quintana is one of the best in baseball. Their bullpen, which was a major weakness last year, now has a shutdown closer in Robertson, allowing guys like Duke, Jake Petricka, and and Zach Putnam to settle into setup roles. And within a couple months last year’s No. 3 overall pick, stud left-hander Carlos Rodon, should be ready for his call-up. The turnaround offensively won’t be as dramatic, but it doesn’t need to be. Chicago ranked in the middle of the AL pack in run scoring and is essentially replacing the corner outfield/designated hitter trio of Adam Dunn, Dayan Viciedo, and Alejandro De Aza with LaRoche, Cabrera, and Avisail Garcia, who returned from injury to play 46 games down the stretch. Toss in center fielder Adam Eaton’s on-base skills atop the batting order, plus Alexei Ramirez having more pop than the average shortstop, and even with second base and catcher being question marks this has a chance to be a much deeper, more dangerous lineup surrounding Abreu. Going from 73 wins to 85-plus wins in one offseason is extremely difficult, but the White Sox absolutely look like a team that should have a winning record and contending in a relatively mediocre AL Central division is entirely doable. What else is going on? For a long time Carlos Rodon was the presumed No. 1 pick in the 2014 draft, but then his stock dipped a bit and both the Astros and Marlins passed on the North Carolina State ace. Six months later it’s probably safe to assume both teams would do things differently, because Rodon struck out 38 batters in his 24-inning debut, ranked as a top-20 prospect by both Baseball America and MLB.com this offseason, and then impressed this spring with a 19/3 K/BB ratio in 12 innings. He looks just about ready and has top-of-the-rotation upside. Because he was 27 years old and a superstar in Cuba it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison to put Abreu’s numbers up against other “rookies” … but why not. He had a 169 OPS+ last season. Here’s a list of all the other first basemen in MLB history to top a 150 OPS+ as a rookie: Mark McGwire, 164 in 1987. That’s it. That’s the entire list. Even setting aside the whole rookie thing, the last 27-year-old first basemen with a higher OPS+ than Abreu were Miguel Cabrera in 2010 and Frank Thomas in 1995. And then no one else since 1962. Adam Eaton played so well in his first season with the White Sox–hitting .300 with a .362 on-base percentage and solid defense in center field–that Hahn signed him to a long-term contract extension that keeps him under team control through 2021. Eaton lacks power, but his on-base skills and speed are top notch and are an ideal fit atop the lineup and in front of Abreu. Eaton hit .348 in the minors, including .364 with 40 steals in 133 games at Triple-A. Prediction: One of the biggest improvements of any team in baseball, going from 73-89 to at least .500 in a division where four of the five teams figure to win 80-something games. But just short of the playoffs. | High | [

Looking Ahead Nothing in depth yet, but in the coming weeks we’ll be looking carefully at the NFL Draft and players the Packers might take to shore up some weak spots (guard) or spots that will be weak soon enough (cornerback, quarterback). Of course, all of that time will probably be wasted when Ted Thompson trades out of the first round pick or he selects someone obscure who ends up being a quality contributor almost immediately. The Senior Bowl is this weekend and a number of the players who looked good in practices and in that contest last year went on to be quality first-year players in the NFL. The Packers are in a very strong position regarding free agency. The most valuable unrestricted free agent this year is Corey Williams, who ranked third on the team in sacks this year. Williams made just less than $2 million this year and probably earned much more than that with his performance. Who will pay him? We don’t know, but he seems determined to play the field and the Packers seem content to let him. I think that’s a good choice. The Packers have up-and-comer Justin Harrell at DT and given Thompson’s track record I’m eager to see what it was about Harrell that compelled Thompson to pick him earlier than many others had projected he would go. The fact that Harrell showed up at camp overweight was a very bad sign and called into question a lot of the positive attributes we had heard about him (humble, small-town guy, believes in hard work, etc). But I won’t be terribly upset if we lose Corey Williams in free agency. He had a few very strong games but was otherwise just depth. Of course, depth is important, but I’d rather not pay the kind of money for it that he is likely to get. I’m not sure why, because most everything I’ve read about him has been positive, but I worry about the Cletidus Hunt factor, where an overperforming young gets paid and then sucks. Here is a look at Williams and the other free agents from Tom Silverstein today. As far as this website goes, we will be posting regularly throughout the off-season — through free agency, the combine, the draft, minicamps and training camp. We are looking at the possibility of liveblogging the NFL draft from New York City and we will definitely have extensive on-site coverage of training camp next summer. At some point, we will redesign the site to incorporate additional features (including a Fantasy Football corner) and to make it easier to navigate. We’re open to additional suggestions, too, so send them our way: [email protected]. | Mid | [

1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to devices for mooring watercraft, and more particularly, to novel docking support assemblies for watercraft which provides a means for avoiding damage (i.e., abrasive scratches to the hull, bow and/or keel) commonly associated with beaching a watercraft. 2. The Background Art Watercraft such as, for example, boats, jet skis, wave runners, yachts, sailboats, kayaks and canoes are typically formed of aluminum or glass-reinforced plastic composite material (i.e., fiberglass) which can become easily damaged or seriously scratched as a result of forcible impact or collision with sand, gravel, rocks or other obscure objects or debris found in water. Typically, when a watercraft is beached, removed from and/or launched into a body of water, the lowermost portion of the hull of the watercraft (generally encompassing portions of the stem, bow, forefoot, keel and stern) is particularly susceptible to abrasions. Consequently, abrasive damage promotes corrosion and structural weakening of the hull and/or bow of the watercraft. In addition, the bow of a watercraft may procure serious damage as a result of forcible contact with a docking platform when attempting to secure the watercraft thereto. Traditionally, the keel and bow (inclusive of the stem and forefoot) of a watercraft are formed having a substantially arcuate shape that structurally encourages the hydrodynamic flow of water across the exterior surface of the hull as the watercraft moves through the water. The hydrodynamic performance of a watercraft, however, can be significantly reduced as a result of abrasions in the hull, keel and/or bow of the watercraft. In this regard, serious damage such as, for example, deep scratches, penetration or abrasions in the exterior surface of the hull, keel and/or bow of a watercraft, may generate substantial dragging or suction forces that act against the motion of the immersed watercraft and, more importantly, may significantly affect the overall hydrodynamic performance of the watercraft. Moreover, abrasions in the hull, keel and/or bow of a watercraft will typically necessitate the repair and/or replacement of the hull and those structural features of the body of the watercraft that are functionally affected. The repair and/or replacement of the hull of a watercraft is customarily costly, and typically sorely inconvenient to the owner. Accordingly, the capacity for protecting the hull, keel and/or bow of a watercraft from abrasive wear and tear, damage and/or deep scratching has encouraged significant concentration within the marine industry as to developing various options for protecting the hull of a watercraft and reducing the cost of repair and maintenance of its exterior surface, while attempting to preserve the inherent monetary value of the watercraft itself. In order to minimize the abrasions and damage that are normally caused as a result of forcible impact or collision with sand, gravel and/or rocks in association with beaching a watercraft, those skilled in the art developed prior art boat ramps. For example, prior art boat ramps adapted for beaching a boat were developed which comprise a lowermost horizontally disposed bottom wall and a pair of upstanding side walls in converging relationship to each other and having opposite terminal end portions fixedly disposed at maximum spaced relationship to each other to define an entrance opening through which the bow of a boat may be readily entered in order to rest the hull between the upstanding side walls of the boat ramp. The pair of upstanding side walls typically include an angularly configured contacting surface and stepped portions in the wall for supporting the bow of the boat in relation thereto. In addition, those skilled in the art developed boat landings having a mat preferably formed of neoprene rubber which acts as a base for two solid neoprene rubber support blocks bonded to the base mat. This structural configuration provides a longitudinal spacing for generally introducing the keel of a boat therein during the beaching or landing operation of the boat in relation to the base mat. To provide a non-slip surface in relation to the shoreline, strips of neoprene rubber may be attached along the bottom of the base mat in spaced apart relationship across the exterior surface area of the mat. Although seemingly useful for their intended purposes, there are several practical disadvantages with prior art boat ramps and landings. For example, a significant disadvantage of prior art boat ramps and landings of the type generally discussed above includes the difficulty associated with beaching the watercraft in relation to the support structures, whereby prior art ramps and landings typically support a majority of the weight of the boat. Similarly, the effort and skill required to beach a watercraft necessitates an appropriate maneuvering speed that is sufficient to force the bow, keel and a portion of the hull of the watercraft onto the surface facing of the ramp or base landing strip. The weight of the watercraft, however, is no longer significantly offset by its buoyancy in the water. Moreover, a strong amount of upward thrust is typically required to lift the watercraft out of the water and into engagement with the ramp or landing, in addition to the upward thrust of force and pushing required to dislodge the watercraft therefrom. As appreciated by those skilled in the art, watercraft have a general tendency to roll onto either of its sides when mountably resting on a ramp or base landing strip, thus ultimately having a portion of the hull of the watercraft supportably disposed on the sandy or rocky shore. As illustrated by the number of prior patents, efforts are continuously being made in an attempt to remedy the foregoing disadvantages associated with beaching watercraft. For example, those skilled in the art developed mooring devices that include a cradling assembly that is pivotally mounted to a base, wherein the base includes a pair of spaced apart hinged legs engaged to one another by means of a plurality of cross braces and stop members that function to limit the rearward and forward pivotal tilt of the cradling assembly. In particular, when a watercraft moves onto the engaging pads of the two flanges of the cradling assembly, the weight of the watercraft is generally transferred across the center line of the base causing the cradling assembly to pivot forwardly until a structural stop makes contact with a base pivot cross member, thereby restricting further forward motion of the cradle. To limit rearward motion, a structural member is generally provided which engages at least one cross brace, thereby defining the limit of rearward tilt of the pivotal cradling assembly acting thereagainst. In accordance with another such technique or method for docking a watercraft, those skilled in the art developed watercraft docking/storage devices for lifting a watercraft from a body of water and thus storing the boat in a position above the water next to a floating dock. Prior art watercraft docking/storage devices of this general type usually comprise a stationary frame secured to the side of a floating dock or marina so that the stationary frame extends laterally therefrom. The stationary frame generally includes a pivoting frame attached thereto, wherein the pivoting frame extends into the water to allow for engagement of a watercraft. In operation, a watercraft is maneuvered toward a second end of the pivoting frame and a cabled connection is attached to the front of the watercraft to provide a means for pulling the watercraft up and onto the pivotal frame by means of angled rollers. When the watercraft has been moved far enough forward, the pivoting frame begins to pivot so as to become coplanar with the stationary frame secured to the floating dock, thereby providing a means for docking the watercraft out of the water on both the stationary and pivoting frames. Similarly, prior art watercraft docking/storage devices may incorporate a deployable carriage mounted upon a deck surface within a cradle assembly and movable in a guided path between a stowed and deployed position by means of adjustable support members secured to the carriage, particularly by means of a rotational engagement of rollers inwardly directed within channels of respective side rails. A meaningful disadvantage of these prior art watercraft docking and storage devices utilized for supportably mounting and/or removing a watercraft from the water is the considerable amount of effort required for pulling, lifting and pivoting the watercraft in order to mount the watercraft on the carriage or pivoting frame to remove the watercraft and the frame assembly from the water. Correspondingly, a user of prior art watercraft docking and/or storage devices will typically have to substantially lift, support and/or pull the carriage or pivoting frame upon which the watercraft is supported from out of the water, while substantially supporting the weight of the watercraft and the support frame in such a manner so as to not cause any damage to the user(s), the boat, the frame assembly or the dock. In accordance with other such prior art apparatus and techniques for docking watercraft, those skilled in the art further developed boat docking devices comprising a modified H-shaped platform adapted to reside substantially underwater and having two upwardly protruding arms with a cradle member attached to each arm. The cradle members may consist of a piece of redwood covered with a rug material for engaging the opposing sides of a watercraft. A significant disadvantage associated with the use of a textile, fabric or rug material for engaging the sides of a boat is the collection of sand in the fibers of the material which can act as an abrasive with respect to the surface hull and/or keel of the watercraft resting thereagainst. An elongated tongue may also be provided that includes a holding stake disposed at an end opposite its connection to the platform. The holding stake may be driven into the ground at the shoreline of a body of water to provide a means for supportably retaining the H-shaped platform in an upright position. In operation, the forward section of a watercraft is generally disposed between the two cradle members at a water depth sufficient to provide a floatable relationship therebetween. Typically, a rope is then tied between the boat and the ground stake to secure the watercraft to the docking platform. A significant disadvantage with prior art docking devices having the foregoing structural limitations includes the confined or limited movement of the cradle members in relation to their attachment to the protruding arms of the H-shaped platform. For example, the cradle members are structurally allowed only a small amount of rotational freedom in the direction of their longitudinal axis. This limited freedom of movement in relation to the upwardly protruding arms of the platform generally limits the ability of the cradle members to accommodate various hull configurations without having to manually adjust the pivotal position of the protruding arms in relation to the platform for each supported watercraft. Another meaningful disadvantage with prior art docking devices involves the potential of damage to a moored watercraft subject to drifting or rocking movement caused by appreciable wave action. Since the weight and balance of the watercraft is generally disposed in relation to only two cradle members and a rope tied to a holding stake at a distance from the support platform, the watercraft may tend to drift from its floatable engagement with the cradle members should the rope become untied or loose or as a result of appreciable wave action acting against the watercraft. Moreover, the use of prior art docking devices are usually limited to the length of the telescoping capacity of the tongue and the height of the ground stake as it relates to providing sufficient strength so as to maintain the watercraft in floatable relation between its cradle members. While prior art watercraft ramps and landings, as well as prior art docking/storage devices appear generally suitable for their intended purposes, these prior art mooring assemblies nevertheless leave much to be desired from the standpoint of effectiveness of operation, functionality as to universal application, simplicity of construction in relation to their multiplicity of working parts and relatively complex structure, manufacturing costs and generally being severely cumbersome in view of their bulky weight for the purpose of ease of transport. As will be appreciated in this particular art, economic considerations are significant when dealing with the highly competitive marine industry, since relatively complicated devices are frequently found to be commercially impractical. Moreover, even a slight savings in cost may substantially enhance the commercial appeal of a particular component or assembly when considering issues of mass production of the product. In accordance therewith, it would be desirable to provide an improved portable support assembly for watercraft which realizes the advantages of the prior art devices while at the same time eliminating the disadvantages associated therewith. Such an apparatus for supportably docking a watercraft is disclosed and claimed herein. | Mid | [

A forum for political and social commentary, leaning to the right and communicating the TRUTH about Cuba. The name honors my father's business in Cuba - Wall Street - a restaurant bar in La Habana B.C. Saturday, April 29, 2006 You Don't Speak for Me As a result of all the protests and bad PR Hispanics as a whole have been getting out of this immigration debate, a coalition has been formed by Hispanics who are pro-legal immigration and pro immigration reform. You Don't Speak for Me. In response to the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who have been marching under the Mexican flag demanding to be rewarded for having violated US immigration law, a new coalition has been formed to accurately represent Hispanics in the US who work hard, play by the rules and want the opportunity to see their own kids get ahead. Known as “You Don’t Speak for Me,” the coalition aims to dispel the impression that the people out on the streets represent the views of all Hispanic-Americans. “Politicians and the media seem to believe that Hispanic-Americans hold a monolithic view on the subject of immigration,” said Peter Nunez, a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and a spokesman for the group. “In fact, millions of Hispanic-Americans—including many who have gone through the immigration process the right way—are offended by the demands being made by people who have broken our nation’s laws. We are even more offended that the views of Hispanic citizens are not being accurately portrayed,” he said. My spouse - a legal immigrant - and I are one of those millions of Hispanic-Americans offended by these demands and that our views are not being accurately portrayed. I'm also offended at how many Hispanics (celebrities in particular) have taken up arms and made this about them (Hispanics) while forgetting the Haitians, Asians and other groups that are also here illegally. I'd like to clarify for once and for all that being anti-illegal immigration IS NOT being anti-immigrant, racist, prejudiced, anti-Hispanic or anti-immigration reform. It simply means that we believe the laws should be followed, and law breakers should not be rewarded. Please don't blend the lines. | Mid | [

Cloud Imperium Games and Roberts Space Industries announced that the alpha 2.6 update for Star Citizen has been released, featuring new ships to fly such as the the Origin 85X, Drake Caterpillar, Drake Herald and Aegis Vanguard Hoplite. They have a selection of new ship weapons available for pilots to use as well, including more than 25 new missile and laser weapons. Over on the official Roberts Space Industries site they showcased all of the new content in alpha 2.6, including posting up a half-minute video featuring the weapons that you can check out below. They’ve made many modifications to the vehicle and on-foot third-person camera, fixing many of the ‘under the hood” mechanics to make it more cinematic and user friendly, this includes three new camera modes for third-person view: chase camera, vehicle orbit and passenger orbit. With the inclusion of the Star Marine module they’ve also introduced the new health system that sees players bleeding out. Bleeding is a stackable state, so the more you bleed out from different body parts, the more likely you are ot bite the dust. Each body part can also enter a damaged or bleeding state, so it’s possible to leg-shoot someone until you do the equivalent of severing an artery and have them bleed out to death. You can stop bleeding by using the Medipen to fix the injured limb. The new scoring and leaderboard system was also implement with Star Marine, along with two different game modes and two maps. Arena Commander was also updated with the new Pirate Swarm game mode, along with new promotions done through a UEE Navy Arena Commander leaderboard. Blues also pointed out that CIG has switched over to Amazon’s Lumberyard game engine, which is based on the CryEngine technology. However, the switch came in favor of Amazon’s AWS cloud services for multiplayer networking. The Lumberyard is designed for large scale shards supporting massive multiplayer environments with better optimization and streamlined seeding over the CryEngine. The CryEngine, Unreal Engine and Unity aren’t very convenient for massive, open-world, procedurally designed MMOs. They’re better suited for high-end, small, instanced area environments. However, RSI and CIG wanted to go for super high-fidelity rendering and the CryEngine was perfect for that sort of stuff early on in development, so that’s why they went with the CryEngine. However, the engine scales horribly for MMOs, which is why they’ve eventually switched to the Amazon’s AWS and Lumberyard. In their production schedule they note that gamers can expect new mercenary missions and quests, repair functions for the ships and new salvage features in version 3.2, due next year. They also have plans on adding six new ships. 3.3 will go even further by adding farming, rescue missions, professions and new solar system locations.

TIMP1 in conditioned media of human adipose stromal cells protects neurons against oxygen-glucose deprivation injury. Adipose stromal cells (ASC) can protect neurons when administered to brains due to secreted trophic factors. Our previous studies demonstrated that several neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) and insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in ASC conditioned media (ASC-CM) can protect brains against hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury in neonatal rats. In this study, we demonstrated that human ASC-CM potently blockeds caspase-3 mediated cortical neuronal apoptosis under in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). Interestingly, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1), a non neurotrophic factor, played a significant role in the ASC-CM-induced neural protection against OGD. Thus, this study establishes the therapeutic potential of TIMP1 together with other neurotrophic factors in ASC-CM for treating cerebral HI disorders. | High | [

The most commonly used club in a typical golf bag is the putter. Approximately one-third to one half of a golfer's strokes on the golf course are taken using a putter. The design of golf putters varies widely. Putter heads can be manufactured having different weighting characteristics, sizes, shapes and colors. Putter heads have progressed from a simple blade-shaped design to more sophisticated designs such as mallet-type putter heads which can include particular weight distributions to improve performance. It is well known that weight distribution in a putter head can affect the moment of inertia of the putter head. As used herein, the moment of inertia is defined as the tendency of the putter head to rotate about its center of gravity when impacting a golf ball at locations spaced from the center of gravity. If the putter head is more resistant to twisting upon an off-center impact with the ball, there is a higher likelihood that the ball will move toward the intended target. Thus, a higher moment of inertia translates into greater forgiveness for off-center ball-striking, e.g. increased directional control of the ball. Further, decreasing the tendency of the putter head to twist on impact causes a more direct transfer of energy between the movement of the putter head and movement of the ball, resulting in better distance control while putting. In addition, the weight distribution of a putter head can impact the spin of the ball following contact with the face of the putter. Generally, a putter head that provides the ball with a certain amount of topspin while reducing the likelihood of sidespin or skidding along the surface of the green is desired. Traditionally, putter heads have been formed entirely of metal, such as stainless steel or other alloys. Current putter heads can include face inserts formed from materials that are different than the remainder of the putter head. However, achieving the precise weight and balance, along with a high moment of inertia to provide a more optimal loft and a truer roll of the ball following impact has historically been difficult, if not elusive. Accordingly, the need exists to provide a putter head having improved weighting and balance characteristics for a more consistent putting stroke and improved loft and roll of the ball after impact. A further need exists to provide a putter head having a high moment of inertia for to maintain a truer roll and decreased twisting of the putter head upon impact with the ball. Another need exists to provide a putter that is easy to use and cost-efficient to manufacture. | High | [

General properties of the resource consumption principle of neural function. It has been proposed that volumes of neural tissue may represent important processing elements. This viewpoint suggests one way that populations of synaptic elements cooperate to implement important computational capacities. I extend this view by proposing a set of computational functions for the extracellular space shared by a local population of synapses. The critical hypothesis is the existence of a hypothetical 'fluid' resource present outside synapses that must be internalized in order for a synapse to function. I outline some of the consequences of assuming that such a resource is in limited supply on short time scales. | Mid | [

Cytochrome P450 2B6 (CYP2B6) G516T influences nevirapine plasma concentrations in HIV-infected patients in Uganda. Polymorphisms in the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2B6 gene have been shown to influence nevirapine plasma concentrations in HIV-infected European Caucasians. Although nevirapine is used extensively in Africa, the influence of CYP2B6 genotype on nevirapine exposure has not been assessed in this population. We aimed to determine the influence of CYP2B6 genotype at position 516 on nevirapine trough concentrations in HIV-infected patients in Kampala, Uganda. Additional polymorphisms in the CYP and multidrug resistance protein-1 (MDR-1) genes were also assessed for their impact on nevirapine concentrations. The following genotypes were determined in all subjects using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism: CYP2B6 G516T, MDR-1 C3435T and G2677T, CYP3A4(*)1B and CYP3A5(*)3. Nevirapine plasma concentrations were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography in 23 HIV-infected patients who were generally healthy and had been taking nevirapine 200 mg twice daily for at least 14 days. Analysis of variance with post hoc testing was used to compare nevirapine concentrations among CYP2B6 genotype groups. The median nevirapine trough concentration in individuals homozygous for the variant allele (TT) was 7607 ng/mL vs 4181 and 5559 ng/mL for GG and GT individuals, respectively (GG vs TT median ratio=1.82; P=0.011). The mean ratio for TT vs GG individuals (95% confidence interval) was 1.51 (1.18, 1.84). No associations were observed between the other polymorphisms studied and nevirapine concentrations. CYP2B6 G516T significantly influenced nevirapine trough concentrations in HIV-infected patients in Uganda. Additional studies in larger patient populations are necessary to further define the potential clinical impact of these preliminary findings. | High | [

The head of Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth says he was denied entry to Hong Kong on Sunday, where he was set to launch the NGO’s Annual Report. In a Twitter video, Roth – a US citizen – said he flew in from New York to hold a press conference to launch the report on Wednesday: “The focus of the report this year was going to be how the Chinese government is really trying to deliberately undermine the international human rights system,” he said. Though he had entered the city freely before, he said it was the first time he had been denied entry: “Despite my probing, the Hong Kong immigration authorities would say only (and repeatedly) that they were barring me for ‘immigration reasons.’ They wouldn’t even own up to the real reason.” “I had hoped to spotlight Beijing’s deepening assault on international efforts to uphold human rights,” Roth said in a statement published later on. “The refusal to let me enter Hong Kong vividly illustrates the problem.” The Hong Kong event at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club has been cancelled. Roth added that the press conference will take place in New York. File photo: inmediahk.net. The US-based NGO operates in more than 90 countries. Roth – a former federal prosecutor – has been the executive director of the human rights watchdog since 1993. The Immigration Department told HKFP on Monday that it does not comment on individual cases: “In handling each immigration case, [the department] will, in accordance with the laws and immigration policies, fully consider all relevant factors and circumstances of the case before deciding whether the entry should be allowed or not.” ‘Sanctions’ Last month, a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs official threatened “sanctions” against Human Rights Watch and other American pro-democracy organisations. Sunday’s move comes as protests across the territory enter their seventh month. Originally related to a now-axed extradition bill, demonstrations have escalated into sometimes violent displays of dissent against police behaviour, amid calls for democracy and anger over Beijing’s encroachment. Photo: Studio Incendo. “My denial of entry pales in comparison to the harassment that Chinese activists routinely endure – jail, torture, and enforced disappearance simply for trying to secure basic rights for their fellow citizens,” Roth said. “But China’s efforts to interfere with the work of international groups like Human Rights Watch is a form of global censorship that governments should resist before it’s too late.” A string of other advocates, artists and academics have been denied entry in recent years, including US academic Dan Garrett, UK activist Benedict Rogers and Chinese dissident Feng Congde.

Messages of condolence for Ernst Schwarz 25 January 2001 The German Socialist Equality Party (Partei für Soziale Gleichheit) received the following messages paying tribute to Ernst Schwarz, who died unexpectedly at the age of 43 on January 13. I am deeply saddened to hear of Comrade Ernst's untimely death. He was a splendid comrade—devoted to the working class and to the party. It is not a simple task to defend revolutionary principles within a reactionary and opportunist milieu such as that which exists within the German trade union organizations. But Ernst did precisely this for nearly two decades, never losing either his confidence in the political path he had chosen or his sense of humor. My own contact with Ernst was all too limited—mainly at party and public meetings. But I enjoyed my discussions with him. He was determined to develop the audience for Marxism in the working class; and the questions he raised with me were invariably directed toward the realization of this goal. Ernst's death came far too early. But we will honor his memory as a Marxist whose life and work embodied the finest revolutionary traditions of the German working class. David North, WSWS editorial board chairman 15 January 2001 We were shocked and extremely saddened to hear of the tragic death of comrade Ernst Schwarz. On behalf of the Socialist Equality Party (Australia) we would like to extend our deepest condolences to comrade Ernst's family and to all his comrades in the Partei fur Soziale Gleichheit. Several of us had the privilege of meeting comrade Ernst in Germany during the early and mid-nineties and discussing with him the complex problems confronting steelworkers in Germany, as part of the experiences of the international working class. In January 1998 he travelled to Sydney, as part of the PSG delegation to the International Summer School. Many comrades recall his enthusiasm and eagerness to discuss and collaborate with his international co-thinkers throughout the course of the school. His attendance itself expressed the determination of the most advanced layers of workers to confront and tackle the profound crisis of perspective confronting the international workers movement and to embrace an alternative socialist outlook. His untimely death, a terrible blow to his family, co-workers and friends, robs the party of an important fighter in the cause of world socialism. With our warmest fraternal greetings, Nick Beams and Linda Tenenbaum, for the Socialist Equality Party (Australia) On behalf of the Socialist Equality Party I send our deepest condolences on the death of Comrade Ernst Schwartz. We were saddened and equally shocked to learn of the passing of this comrade, who was so relatively young and had so much more to contribute politically. The fondest memories of Ernst for many American comrades, myself included, are from the 1991 Berlin conference organized by the International Committee to oppose imperialist war and colonialism. The conference took place after the barbaric war against Iraq and brought together workers and youth from all over the world. Ernst enthusiastically welcomed the ICFI delegates to Berlin and would spend many hours explaining the history and problems of the German workers movement. He took the time to show delegates historical and cultural sites throughout Berlin and reviewed how the Social Democratic and Stalinist leaders betrayed the socialist aspirations of the German working class. During political discussions Ernst would become very animated, as he sought to get across the seriousness of the struggle to rebuild a socialist culture in the working class. It was evident that in every ounce of his bone and marrow this was a comrade deeply committed to the cause of building a better world for mankind. His life, while cut short by this tragedy, was not at all lived in vain. Other workers like him will take up the struggle for socialist internationalism in the next period. Our thoughts are with his family and other comrades in mourning the passing of this valuable member. Helen Halyard, on behalf of the Socialist Equality Party (US) All the members of the Socialist Equality Party in Britain were shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden death of comrade Ernst Schwarz on January 13. Ernst was well known and highly regarded by us all as a committed internationalist and an implacable socialist opponent of the Stalinist and labour bureaucracies. I recall with particular fondness Ernst's participation in the International Communist Party (the forerunner to the SEP) campaign during the 1992 general election. Ernst campaigned at many factories and workplaces in Sheffield, including some of the few remaining steel plants. Physically a “big bear” of a man, Ernst was no less fearsome when fighting for his political beliefs. I vividly remember how he would stride into the middle of a canteen and just begin speaking to the workers that were sitting around, eating their lunch and chatting. Imagine the impact as, in his heavily accented English, Ernst calmly but insistently stressed the commonality of the problems facing workers across the globe and the need for an international strategy to combat them. “What is the difference between us?” he would ask his stunned audience. “I am a German worker, exploited by capitalists. You are British workers, also exploited by the capitalists. There is no difference between us.” Workers quickly warmed to him and on several occasions the resulting discussion lasted well past the official end of the dinner break. One discussion with council workers went on for over an hour, as Ernst explained how the influence of the Stalinised Communist Party had paved the way for Nazism in Germany—their theory of social fascism splitting the working class and enabling Hitler to come to power without a shot being fired. Always vigorous and passionate about his beliefs, his natural inclination in politics, as in much else, was to “plunge straight in”. But Ernst was never simply a “militant”. He understood the centrality of the fight for socialist consciousness and responded enthusiastically to the decision by the International Committee of the Fourth International to launch the World Socialist Web Site, seeking to play his own role in the development of this important initiative. Ernst did not find it easy to become a writer, but applied himself to this task with the same determination that he brought to every political task he took on. Ernst felt keenly the importance of Rosa Luxemburg's observation (citing Ferdinand Lassalle before her) that “Only when science and the workers, these opposite poles of society, become one, will they crush in their arms of steel all obstacles to culture.” Luxemburg added, “The entire strength of the modern labour movement rests on theoretical knowledge.” Finally comrades, we remember Ernst also as a gentle, considerate and selfless man. It is truly the cruellest of ironies that this big-hearted individual was brought down by a massive heart attack. He will be greatly missed but always remembered. | Mid | [

Two Dogs Trapped Between Lava And Fence Rescued In Hawaii PUNA, HI (CBS Local) – Two tiny dogs in Hawaii, who ran away during the island’s volcano evacuations, have been rescued after they were found trapped between a fence and the dangerous lava flows. The Details: Two dogs trapped by lava flows in Hawaii have been rescued The dogs ran from emergency workers who were evacuating their owner A local non-profit pitched in to help find the dogs and bring them to safety Brus and Little Dude were lost for 10 days after the duo panicked and ran from firefighters who were at the Leilani Estates to take their owner, Carol Hosley, to safety. Aloha Ilio Rescue, the same group Hosley adopted Brus from six months earlier, started a search for the pups amid the island’s terrifying volcanic activity. Workers for the local non-profit luckily found the dogs on May 13 near a lava vent in the Puna area. “We’ve been looking for him for 10 days, and we’ve just kept going back, and going back,” Aloha Ilio Rescue president Daylynn Kyles told Hawaii News Now. “They were stuck behind a fence, and they couldn’t get out because the lava had surrounded them,” Kyles added. “It was crazy.” Rescue workers said that the two dogs were terrified and had been bitten by red ants, but were not seriously injured. Unknown to Aloha Ilio Rescue at the time, the daring rescue of Brus and Little Dude took place near the 17th fissure to open during Hawaii’s ongoing eruptions. “It sounded like a freight train. You just heard these constant, big booms,” Kyles told reporters. Hosley is one of nearly 2,000 residents to be evacuated because of the deadly lava flows. Her pets are reportedly staying with Aloha Ilio until she can be relocated to a safe and permanent residence. “The other stuff is stuff, but I got the dogs,” the grateful owner added. | Low | [

It worked! I was going crazy trying to figure this out! It solved the problem. Excellent suggestion. Thank you! Thank you. Thank you. Understanding that made my day. Thank you so much. You saved a piece of my sanity today. OMG thank you! That was my problem. You are my life saver!Other: This is NOT abusive. I pressed this button by accident.It is spam / self promotion.It is offensive or harmful.It does not contain enough information.It contains or requests illegal information.It does not make sense. Without knowing where you live, it is hard to say how much you should pay for a crown. The prices can vary quite a bit from state to state and from city to city. Just a rough idea, crowns could be anywhere between $700 and $1500 approximately. Call a few dental offices in your area. Some will give you a price, some may not. Before you call, make sure you know the ADA code for the crown. You could also call your insurance and ask what allowance they give for a crown. The codes specify what kind of crown you are supposed to get on your tooth. There are quite a few options. By giving the ADA code (the letter D and four numbers - should be on your treatment plan), you will actually be able to compare the price. Without the code, once again, the quote may vary quite a bit, because of all the different types of crowns. That would comparing apples to oranges. In Maryland a crown cost depends on the metal used its cost is almost $500 and root canal Estimates ranges from $350 to $600 for a front tooth it has one canal but for a molar having three canals or more costs more it estimates from $500 to $860 these prices depends on the difficulty and dentist level of experience of the dentist or a specialized may charge more than.for more details go to the website given below www.Expedia.com. A crown cost depends on the perciousness of metal used its naer about $500 and root canal Estimates ranges from $350 to $600 for a front tooth usaully it has one canal but for a molar having three canals or more costs more it estimates from $500 to $860 these prices depends on the difficulty and dentist levl of experience An endodontist or a specialized erson may charge more than this. Estimates range from $350-600 for a front tooth, which usually has one canal, to $500-$860 for a back molar, which can property three or more, local cost or living and the dentist` s level or training and experience. An endodontist, specializing in tooth root problems, may charge up to 50 percent more. And let me tell you A crown or other protective covering adds to the final bill. Root canal is the common dental procedure,the purpose of root canal is to treat inner part of a tooth its cost is $350-$1200 with the treatment, and crown or a cap is a dental restoration that covers your entire tooth. porcelain crowns cost cost is $950 to over $2000, and so totally it cost $1000-$4000 on root canal and porcelain crown both. If you need a tooth cap you have no dental insurance, you will have to pay all the cost of the covered tooth which will be very expensive about 1400-2000$ depending on the tooth you want to capped, although the insurance will not cover this cost, however, it will make it less expensive than with health insurance . . . Estimates ranges from $350 to $600 for a front tooth usaully it has one canal but for a molar having three canals or more costs more it estimates from $500 to $860 these prices depends on the difficulty and dentist levl of experience An endodontist or a specialized erson may charge more than this. The root canal treatment and crown in India depends upon which teeth you are doing it to, for the front teeth it costs about $450 which may vary throughout the india, the max cost is $450 . . . . . . . | Mid | [

Q: Playing Styles of Fischer and Botvinnik They say Botvinnik had 'scientific' approach to chess and Fischer's style was crystal-clear. What does it mean? Could you please enunciate about the styles of these masters in a more lucid way? A: Botvinnik believed in peer review. He would write up annotations for his games, and publish them hoping for feedback from other players. He also recommended to his students that they annotate their losses, and also look for mistakes in the games they won. These elements are all part of his 'scientific' approach. Fischer always kept the endgame in mind, preferred bishops over knights, grabbed pawns if he thought he could get away with it. Mikhail Tal would wait until the time control drew near, and then suddenly start to complicate the position, trying to induce his opponent into blundering. Fischer was much more straightforward, playing the board more than the man, not indulging in psychological ploys as much (at the board anyway). After the game was over, his opponent would look at Fischer's moves, and think they looked obvious in retrospect. These are the factors that make his style 'crystal clear.' A: I wouldn't read too much into these descriptions. We like to make up adjectives to describe great people all the time - these are not always rooted in any kind of quantifiable fact. It is not likely that you would become as good as Botvinnik by "copying his style", if that even means something more than "play the same openings". Having said that, I believe that Botvinnik was, in addition to a great chess player, also a great computer scientist. He was one of the pioneers in using computers to analyze chess positions - hence a possible clue as to where the "scientific" angle comes from. I doubt that his chess ability was somehow contingent on this work - I think he would have been a great chess player even if he was an accountant or historian. As for "crystal-clear", that sounds to me like the typical thing you would say if you are looking to praise a man of great skill without committing yourself to what you are actually saying. I mean, it's not like you can somehow disprove it. | Mid | [

Spatial patterns of (137)Cs inventories and soil erosion from earth-banked terraces in the Yimeng Mountains, China. The Yimeng Mountains is one of China's most susceptible regions to soil erosion. In this region, slopes are composed of granite- or gneiss-derived soils that are commonly cultivated using earth-banked terraces. Based on the (137)Cs measurement for nine reference cores, the present study analysed the spatial patterns of (137)Cs inventory and soil erosion using 105 sampling points in a seven-level earth-banked terrace system. The mean (137)Cs inventory, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and allowable error for the nine reference cores were 987 Bq m(-2), 71 Bq m(-2), 7%, and 6%, respectively, values that may reflect the heterogeneity of the initial (137)Cs fallout deposit. Within each terrace, the (137)Cs inventory generally increases from the rear edge to the front edge, accompanied by a decrease in the erosion rate. This results from planation by tillage and rainfall runoff during the development of the earth-banked terraces. Across the entire seven-level terrace system, (137)Cs inventories decrease from the highest terrace downwards, but increase in the lower terraces, whereas erosion rate displays the opposite trend. These trends are the result of the combined effects of the earth-bank segmented hillslope, the limited protection of the earth banks, and rainfall runoff in combination with tillage. The high coefficients of variation of (137)Cs inventories for the 21 sampling rows, with a mean value of 44%, demonstrate the combined effects of variations in original microtopography, anthropogenic disturbance, the incohesive soils weathered from underlying granite, and the warm climate. Although earth-banked terraces can reduce soil erosion to some extent, the estimated erosion rates for the study area are still very high. | High | [

Dryer Vent Placement I am moving the laundry room to the basement and need to install a dryer vent. Is it better to vent through the rim joist (wait, this house doesn't have a rim joist, the sheathing is attached directly to to the ends of the floor joists). Is it better to go through the sheathing (exterior is vinyl siding) OR should I go through the hollow concrete block below the siding? I realize going through the sheathing is easier, but I imagine the risk of water leak is much less going through the block. In the absence of cost and money, which method is better? Also has anyone had any experience with the Dundas Jafine BPSH4WZW ProShield 4-Inch Spring Loaded Dryer Vent Hood? You want the discharge to be above normal snow level, so that may dictate where it goes. I'd rather cut a hole in the siding than the block. You don't want to use flexible ductwork - while harder to install, you're much better off with solid, smooth walled duct. the clothes will dry quicker and you'll have less (potentially dangerous, fire-prone) lint buildup. I've heard good things about one with a U-shaped outlet with a cap on the end. WHen the dryer is running, it pushes the cap up, it falls back when off. No springs to wear out as gravity always wins.

Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. was within its rights to bulldoze some sheds and smash through community gardens along its unused Arbutus corridor, a judge has ruled, and the company can forge ahead with plans to store railcars on the abandoned line. "The City did not and cannot claim any property interest in the Arbutus corridor, nor can the City assert such rights on behalf of others in response to the proposed use of the corridor" by CP, Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson of B.C. Supreme Court wrote in his judgment released Tuesday. He dismissed the City of Vancouver's application that sought to prevent CP from resuming its clearing work along the line that hasn't been used to transport freight for more than 13 years. Story continues below advertisement CP agreed to temporarily stop the work in early November, after the city applied for an injunction to permanently halt the railway's clearing of garden plots and obstructions along the Arbutus corridor. CP maintains that the nine-kilometre-long Arbutus corridor's potential value as a real estate development could be $400-million. The company has offered to sell the property to the city for $100-million, but civic officials have balked, countering that a more reasonable value is $20-million. Condo dwellers who use community gardens, which weave through some of the most expensive property in Canada, say their plots are important. The judge, however, sided with Calgary-based CP. "The gardeners, pedestrians, cyclists and motor vehicle operators who have been using the corridor have no right to such use," he said. Chief Justice Hinkson said CP "will suffer irreparable harm if it is unable to even begin preparations for the resumption of rail use" along the urban stretch of land. Mark Wallace, CP's vice-president of corporate affairs, said the country's second-largest railway has been steadfast in its belief that it has the right to safely restart the line as it sees fits. "At the city's request, in good faith, we put down the lawnmower, so to speak," he said in an interview. "As we evolve our thinking on what we're going to do here, the primary purpose is storing railcars as our railyards run out of space for some of the storage. We think this is the perfect location to be able to do so." Story continues below advertisement Talks broke down between the city and CP last September as the two sides remained far apart on the valuation for the Arbutus property. "If the city gives us a call and would like to reactivate discussions, my phone is always on," Mr. Wallace said. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said there are still avenues for the city to pursue, despite the court's dismissal of the city's application. "It's disappointing to see that ruling, but the city will continue to use all of our tools to ensure the federal government and the regulators address this issue," he said. Civic officials have so far ruled out zoning for residential development, leaving the city to spar with CP over the plans for railcar storage. Developers are waiting for the city to shed light on whether it would be willing to entertain housing development in the longer term. "We do have ongoing safety concerns in the corridor," Mr. Robertson said. "With the Canadian Transportation Agency, we have an opportunity to take next steps. We'll continue to press the case. Our concerns around safety have not gone away." The mayor said questions linger, notably over whether CP has in fact abandoned the Arbutus line. While the last freight train operated in 2001, CP said it wants to return the right-of-way to freight operating standards and use the tracks again, though this time for storing railcars. The Arbutus corridor is currently zoned for transportation. Story continues below advertisement The judge noted that CP argues that the line could be reactivated in three weeks after testing, repair and maintenance. CP has estimated that it will cost $320,000 to get the tracks in shape for railcar storage south of King Edward Avenue. "This estimate does not include clearing third-party obstructions and crossing rehabilitation if any is required," Chief Justice Hinkson said. "The only candidate for a major crossing rehabilitation south of King Edward Avenue is 41st Avenue, at an estimated cost of approximately $80,000." | Low | [

In recent years the substructure of flat roofs, which formerly were covered with tar paper and asphalt, have been replaced by gravel-ballasted, waterproof, rubber membranes and the like, which are easier to install and more durable. Various edge systems, as exemplified in the following prior arts patents, have been proposed for fastening the membranes at the edges of the roof in a manner to avoid piercing the membrane edges, such that the membrane is rendered non-waterproof and subject to tear: ______________________________________ 4,071,987 Hickman 4,439,956 House 4,155,203 Wolma 4,472,913 Hickman 4,241,549 Hall et al 4,483,112 Rueblinger 4,403,458 Lolley 4,549,376 Hickman 4,419,850 Butzen 4,549,377 Castle 4,598,507 Hickman ______________________________________ Particularly in some areas of the country, wind conditions are often extreme, and it is difficult to keep a membrane in place in view of the tremendous pressures which are generated when air pressures build up under the membrane and tend to lift the membrane, even when the membrane is severely ballasted. The prior art is replete with various prior art systems which have been proposed to solve the problem of securing the edges of the membrane in an attractive and inexpensive manner, without perforating the membrane. Because the edges of the membrane cannot be ballasted, and are subject to the same wind lift conditions, it is, normally the edges of the membrane which, in prior art systems, are torn loose initially by wind lift conditions. | Mid | [

South Plains rural communities get short delay in USPS closing decisions Friday Dec 30, 2011 at 8:50 PM Adam D. Young Residents in more than one dozen South Plains hamlets can breathe a sigh of relief after the United States Postal Service gave their communities a reprieve - at least until May. The U.S. Postal Service, at the request of U.S. Senate leaders, earlier this month agreed to delay the closing or consolidation of any post office or mail processing facilities until May 15 following a summer and fall where Postal Service officials considered putting as many as 3,700 facilities on the chopping block, according to a Postal Service news release. The Postal Service warned its struggling revenues and increased health care costs force it to consider a variety of options ranging from closing or consolidating facilities, replacing brick-and-mortar offices with cluster boxes serviced by rural carriers or converting post offices into privately operated Village Post Offices. The Postal Service revealed 14 of the post offices in consideration were in rural, mostly unincorporated South Plains communities, including Whitharral, where Ed Sharp, Whitharral Independent School District superintendent, said he was hopeful the delayed decision is a good sign. "I think people feel like their chances are better knowing that a little pressure is being applied," he said. "It looks like, to me, it wasn't as easy as the government thought it was going to be to make a decision on this." Few South Plains communities on the list complained as loudly as the 100-plus residents of Whitharral and Pep who turned out to a September hearing in Whitharral's school cafeteria to voice their concerns to a Postal Service official. "The school and the post office are really the only things here," Sharp said at the time. "I think they think they've lost enough already in this town." For many of the listed communities, like Whitharral, Pep and Lazbuddie, the post office is one of the few institutions in town. Lazbuddie ISD's interim superintendent, Joanna Martinez, said she was surprised to learn the Postal Service had not committed to closing Lazbuddie's post office. "When the Postal Service representative visited in September for a public hearing, it almost felt like a formality, like it was a done deal and they were going to close our post office," she said. "To me, this delay is a very encouraging sign." In its news release, the Postal Service stated its representatives would continue analyzing information and seeking input through public meetings through May. "The Postal Service hopes this period will help facilitate the enactment of comprehensive postal legislation," according to the release. "Given the Postal Service's financial situation and the loss of mail volume, the Postal Service must continue to take all steps necessary to reduce costs and increase revenue." Spokespersons for the Postal Service did not return Avalanche-Journal calls for further comment. In a statement, U.S. Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Lubbock, said he understood the difficult financial situation postal officials have to make in addressing budget gaps in a time when first-class mail volumes have fallen by more than 50 percent. "Just as American families are making difficult decisions to cope with these new economic realities, so must the federal government and the U.S. Postal Service," he said. "It is imperative that USPS find ways to consolidate, innovate and become more competitive." Neugebauer said it was possible the Postal Service may be forced to close some facilities or change the structure of its retail operations as it streamlines its business model to become more profitable long term. "However, I am committed to working with USPS to ensure that these necessary changes do not disproportionately impact the residents of the 19th Congressional District," he said. "The Postal Service must maintain reasonable mail access for rural customers." In September, Postal Service spokesman Bobby Eubanks told the crowd in Whitharral the Postal Service selected its post office among thousands across the country due in part to a revenue shortfall. He said the Postal Service shaved off, mostly through attrition, more than 200,000 jobs, from 788,000 in 2001 to about 560,000 this year. Along with cuts to locations, the Postal Service is exploring the option of saving $3.1 billion by eliminating Saturday delivery, he said. Martinez said she remains concerned closing Lazbuddie's post office would add considerable time, cost and trouble to her school district when it processes its mail. Without a brick-and-mortar post office of its own, the 685 people in the Lazbuddie ISD area would have to drive 20 miles to Friona or Muleshoe for full service at the next closest post offices. Along with its three churches and an automotive repair shop, the Lazbuddie post office on FM 1172 is an integral part of the community, Martinez said. "We're really proud of the fact that we have our name on a postmark," she said. "It's more than a post office to us. It's a part of our community and part of our culture."

387 S.C. 297 (2010) 692 S.E.2d 532 In the Matter of H. Ray HAM, Respondent. No. 26800. Supreme Court of South Carolina. Submitted March 9, 2010. Decided April 12, 2010. Lesley M. Coggiola, Disciplinary Counsel, and C. Tex Davis, Senior Assistant Disciplinary Counsel, both of Columbia, for Office of Disciplinary Counsel. H. Ray Ham, of West Columbia, pro se. PER CURIAM. In this attorney disciplinary matter, respondent and the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) have entered into an Agreement for Discipline by Consent pursuant to Rule 21, RLDE, Rule 413, SCACR. In the agreement, respondent *298 admits misconduct and consents to the imposition of an indefinite suspension.[1] Respondent requests that, if the Court accepts the agreement and imposes an indefinite suspension, that the suspension be made retroactive to the date of his interim suspension. In the Matter of Ham, 361 S.C. 116, 603 S.E.2d 905 (2004). In addition, respondent agrees to reimburse the Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection (Lawyers' Fund) for claims paid on his behalf. We accept the agreement and indefinitely suspend respondent from the practice of law in this state, retroactive to October 4, 2004, the date of respondent's interim suspension. Further, we order respondent to reimburse the Lawyers' Fund for all claims paid on his behalf. The facts, as set forth in the agreement, are as follows. FACTS Matter I Over a number of years, respondent represented several members of the Doe family in a variety of legal matters. Respondent was named as the personal representative of Ms. Doe's estate. Respondent represents that all money he received from Ms. Doe's estate was properly authorized, although he acknowledges that he cannot properly document the funds. The sole heir to Ms. Doe's estate was her brother, Mr. Doe. Respondent had represented Mr. Doe over a period of years and had effectively managed Mr. Doe's financial affairs. In 2004, guardianship and conservatorship actions were filed in Richland County Probate Court concerning Mr. Doe. Respondent was notified of the two scheduled hearings, but he failed to attend either hearing. The probate court issued two orders directing respondent to produce financial records and an accurate accounting for the time period in which he managed *299 Mr. Doe's finances. Respondent failed to produce the requested documentation. Respondent acknowledges he is unable to properly document the monies which he disbursed on Mr. Doe's behalf. During this time period, respondent was admitted to an Upstate hospital and diagnosed with severe depression. Respondent acknowledges that he withdrew substantial money from his trust account for his own use and benefit. He further acknowledges that he did not comply with the recordkeeping provisions of Rule 417, SCACR. Respondent admits that, on September 27, 2004, he deposited $45,000 from his personal proceeds into his trust account in order to cover a shortage caused by his unauthorized withdrawals. Matter II Respondent represented Complainant in several matters related to her business. Respondent asserts that, in one of these cases in early 2004, he instructed his staff to effect service on the opposing party. Respondent mistakenly believed that service had been accomplished when he informed Complainant of the status of the case. In fact, service was never completed. Respondent admits that the file in the case was either lost or misplaced and he did not realize until several months later that service had not been accomplished. Respondent acknowledges that it was his responsibility to ensure that the case was handled in a competent and diligent manner. By letter from ODC dated October 4, 2004, respondent was notified of the complaint in this matter; the letter requested a written response within fifteen (15) days. Respondent failed to respond or otherwise communicate with ODC. On November 3, 2004, ODC sent respondent a letter pursuant to In the Matter of Treacy, 277 S.C. 514, 290 S.E.2d 240 (1982), again requesting a response. Respondent failed to respond or otherwise communicate with ODC within the timeframe requested in the November 3, 2004 letter. ODC received a letter from respondent dated December 6, 2004, which stated "I have recovered to the point when I can now prepare a reply to their complaint. I will have it filed within a week." As of February 18, 2005, respondent failed to *300 submit any substantive response to the allegations in the complaint. On that date, full investigation was authorized by the Commission on Lawyer Conduct. Respondent accepted service of the Notice of Full Investigation on February 28, 2005. The notice required respondent submit a written response within thirty (30) days of service. Respondent failed to submit his response until May 2, 2005. LAW Respondent admits that by his misconduct he has violated the following provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 407, SCACR: Rule 1.1 (lawyer shall provide competent representation to client); Rule 1.4 (lawyer shall keep client reasonably informed about status of matter); Rule 1.15 (lawyer shall keep client funds separate from lawyer's personal funds); Rule 8.1 (lawyer shall not fail to respond to lawful demand for information from disciplinary authority); Rule 8.4(e) (it is professional misconduct for lawyer to engage in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice). In addition, respondent admits he has violated the financial recordkeeping provisions of Rule 417, SCACR. Respondent agrees that his misconduct constitutes a violation of Rule 7, RLDE, of Rule 413, SCACR, specifically Rule 7(a)(1) (lawyer shall not violate Rules of Professional Conduct or any other rules of this jurisdiction regarding professional conduct of lawyers) and Rule 7(a)(5) (lawyer shall not engage in conduct tending to pollute the administration of justice or to bring the courts or the legal profession into disrepute or conduct demonstrating an unfitness to practice law). CONCLUSION We accept the Agreement for Discipline by Consent and indefinitely suspend respondent from the practice of law, retroactive to October 4, 2004, the date of his interim suspension. See In the Matter of Ham, supra. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, respondent shall enter into a restitution agreement with the Office of Commission Counsel. Under no circumstances shall respondent file a petition for reinstatement until he has reimbursed the Lawyers' Fund for *301 all claims paid on his behalf.[2] Within fifteen days of the date of this opinion, respondent shall surrender his certificate of admission to practice law in this state to the Clerk of Court and shall file an affidavit with the Clerk of Court showing that he has complied with Rule 30, RLDE, Rule 413, SCACR. INDEFINITE SUSPENSION. NOTES [1] Since formal charges were not filed prior to January 1, 2010, an indefinite suspension remains a possible sanction under prior Rule 7(b)(2), RLDE. See Amendments to the South Carolina Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement, Order dated October 16, 2009 (previous disciplinary rules apply, including possible sanction of indefinite suspension, if disciplinary complaint is pending on January 1, 2010, and formal charges have not been filed). [2] As of the date of the agreement, the Lawyers' Fund for Client Protection had paid $43,474.73 in claims against respondent. | Mid | [

The game you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this game, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation. **Version 2.00** A visual and auditory experience that explores the fear of the unknown as well as it conveys a message with deeper meaning. That same message is open to interpretation by the player. Press 'e' to interact with the objects. **Version 1.00** Enjoy the exploration of the fear of the unknown in this artistic game created under 4 hours. The main objective behind this video game was to produce an artistic work with only the knowledge I had on the Unity Engine so that I wouldn’t get distracted trying to learning new stuff. With this in mind I created a visual and auditory experience without big emphasis in the technical side in which video games swim. For that same reason the game doesn’t express any concrete objective or concept – is up to the player to decide / interpret what he or she sees or hear in their own way. This is the first version of the game which means that it is not fully completed yet. New updates and changes will come eventually.
