Add diagnostic clarity on gynecological cancer using the Lumipulse G series
From the company that brought you CA125, Fujirebio now introduces HE4, the first new biomarker in 30 years for ovarian cancer management1
Lumipulse G HE4 is a Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay (CLEIA) for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) use for the quantitative measurement of HE4 (Human epididymis protein 4) in human serum or plasma (sodium heparin, lithium heparin, or dipotassium EDTA) on the LUMIPULSE G system. The assay utilises proven CLEIA (ChemiLuminescent Enzyme Immunoassay) technology with results that are available in up to 35 minutes.
About HE4 - Human Epididymis protein 4
What is HE4?
Human Epididymis protein 4 (HE4), a serum biomarker, is expressed in normal epithelial tissue. HE4 is detected in high levels in the serum of ovarian cancer patients. HE4 has shown to be a stable biomarker in which levels do not change in normal physiological conditions.
HE4 is not evelevated
- during pregnancy2
- in any phases of the menstruation cycle or with hormonal treatments3
- with hormonal stimulation during IVF treatment4
Importance of specific biomarker for management of gynecologic diseases
Cysts are a common occurrence, especially in premenopausal women, and the majority of cysts are benign:
- Up to 10% of women will have some form of surgery for ovarian mass5
- Preoperative differentiation between the benign and the malignant ovarian mass in the premenopausal woman is problematic6

A handy way to tell what's inside a black box is to give it a good shake. Similarly it is often a good idea to bring a system far from equilibrium to understand its inner workings.
This talk mainly focuses on the results of ultrafast optical spectroscopy on Na2IrO3, a frustrated Mott insulator with strong spin-orbit coupling. Our results indicate that there is a distinct change in the non-equilibrium behavior of excitations as the system becomes magnetically ordered at low temperatures. Specifically, we observe that in the disordered phase the transient response is due to both bound "Hubbard excitons" and unpaired single particles, whereas in the ordered phase the single particle contribution becomes strongly suppressed. This is an indication of an increase of binding energy of Hubbard excitons which we argue is due to unique interplay between the strong frustrated Kitaev term and the weak Heisenberg-type ordering term in the Hamiltonian. In this regime magnetic ordering gives rise to an effective attraction between charged excitations which grows with distance causing them to become trapped within the excitons in analogy with quark confinement inside hadrons.

We are excited for this rare opportunity to offer individual session with a Native American Medicine Man.
Sam Tso is a Native American and member of the Navajo Tribe. He was born in Arizona and raised by his family in the traditions of his people. He served as a translator for the Navajo elders in the legal battle for his family and community's right to remain on their ancestral homelands. The lawsuit of his Great-great Grandmother Manybeads brought Sam before the United Nations and Congressional Committees in Washington, D.C. In the aftermath of the Manybeads lawsuit, Tso continues as a carpenter, silversmith, rock carver, storyteller and teacher. His work as an activist continues on behalf of all people whose rights are being denied or questioned.
A healing session with Sam is one hour and a completely and totally transforming experience. During a session, he incorporates the knowledge he has gained over the years. Sam will evaluate your body for balance and flow of energy. He may ask you about a life event or trauma you may have experienced that he has perceived. Or you may choose to come to the session ready with your own questions or problems you want to work on with him. Sam will then use his techniques to release inharmonious energy to balance and align your body.
Sam's style is very personal, gentle and caring. He has a level of intuition, sensing what you may have experienced and relates through his own life experience. There is no question that he is a powerful healer.
Sam has spent the last couple of decades sharing his knowledge of his Navajo, or Diné, culture and spirituality. An accomplished storyteller and cultural consultant, Tso was raised by his elders in an ancestral, remote area of Dinetah, the nation's homeland, in Arizona. Part of a family of healers, he is a practitioner of Native healing; his talents at being able to see the causes of physical, emotional, psychic and other disorders and misalignments have led him to be described as ahuman MRI. He then uses one or more techniques to correct misalignments.
To Make an appointment call 201-527-8668. There are limited appointments so please call to reserve you spot.
Cost: $150.00

Don't let the title fool you… I'm not talking about the real VOR. Personally, I think those guys are crazy, going around the world on a 70′ rickety rocketship, eating freeze dried food with threats of fishing boats, nets, long lines, pirates and the Indonesian Navy.
Rather, I'm talking about the Volvo Ocean Race Game (www.volvooceanracegame.org) that a few of us here in the office are playing. Officially, the stakes are for bragging rights, although there is talk that the last person to finish in Singapore will have to grow out the ol' mutton chops for a solid month.
There are seven of us currently making our way from India, around Sri Lanka, through the scoring gate due north of Palau We and down to Singapore… and we're doing it from the comfort of our own couches at home (because, honest boss, we'd never waste company time on this…).
Right now, I hold a debatable lead over the rest of the group — I say debatable because I've made a fairly risky/bold/heinously stupid move to hug Sri Lanka while the rest of the group is taking a more true to life approach by staying further offshore. I'd love to tell you that I have some master plan associated with this move, but I basically didn't plan on a wind shift and I was forced to head further north than I expected. Now, everyone else is moving at about twice my speed… so yeah, I'm basically banking on being able to break to the north before everyone else to save myself the humiliation of growing the most spotty and grotesque facial hair ever seen.
Taking a look at the current Rankings:
1st Place: Scoop editor, Chris (DTF = 1,478nm)
2nd Place: Scoop editor, James (DTF = 1,499nm)
3rd Place: Aaron from Customer Service (DTF = 1,524nm)
4th Place: Mike from Fulfillment (DTF = 1,531nm)
5th Place: Warren from Customer Service (DTF = 1,563nm)
6th Place: Jarret from Rigging (DTF = 1,576nm)
7th Place: Ian from the Storefront (DTF = 1,709nm)
Lucky for me, Ian was asleep at the helm this weekend, steering a due south course for the better part of 72 hours. Even though he has finally adjusted course and there's a ton of race left, all of the analysts agree that he's going to have to do some fancy (fake) sailing to avoid "winning" the Race for the Chops.
Unsexy Update: Due to the rules at the beginning of the race apparently being unclear about being able to cut between Sri Lanka and India, the folks running the VOR game are throwing up the ol' virtual 1st Substitute penant and are recalling the entire fleet. This was apparently due to the complaints of a bunch of people that must have more on the line than having to grow unweildy facial hair.
The Race for the Chops will be restarting tomorrow at 0500 Eastern, when Ian will get a second life and my somewhat safe feeling about not having absurd facial hair will evaporate.

Houdini Door
Your bedtime and day time sanity saver. Perfect for the cot to bed transition. Helps keep toddlers & pets out of off limit rooms. Discreet & simple to install
What is a Houdini Door & How does it work?
"After two failed attempts of multiple nights to move our nearly three year old out of his cot into his bed due to his constant up & down & blatant refusing to stay in his room, we had all but given up when we braved a third attempt with Houdini Door in hand.
It went from being this horrid trying time with an overtired child to a breeze.
After explaining what we were doing & why, we put our son to bed. While he came to the door to begin with & called out for various things, he couldn't get out & eventually jumped into bed & went to sleep.
After four nights we have a big boy who sleeps in his own bed. Day sleeps (as always) can be a little harder, but I have Houdini door & I know he's safe & secure & he can call for me if he needs me.
Stoked with the results & would recommend to all, just wish I had done earlier. Thanks a lot" - Maree Gordon, NZ - June 2016
We have 3 Houdini Doors in our house, on 2 kids rooms and our bedroom. These have been an absolute godsend!!!!!!. I ADORE this product.
They work amazingly to keep our ratbag 2 year old out of the bedrooms during the day (so he can't get into his siblings things and my makeup!) but keeps the air circulating as the doors aren't fully shut.
They also work great to keep mr2 IN his room when it is bedtime, otherwise I would never get him to sleep.
Seriously awesome product and I highly recommend it to other parents of toddlers!! They have kept me sane and I honestly don't know how I would have coped without them!
Definitely worth 5 stars! – Ally Bowden, NZ - July 2016
Megan Pace. 28 March 2013.
The Houdini door has allowed my husband and I to sleep in peace. Our 3 year old had a habit of getting into the kitchen at night and eating everything in sight, once we had the Houdini door on she no longer could get into the kitchen allowing us, and her, to sleep in peace. Easy to use, easy to install, this is one product I honestly could not live without! If you are wanting to child proof this is one product you really cant surpass!
MarBev 4 April 2013
I think the Houdini Door is fantastic! It is great at keeping my little one in her bedroom when it is time to go to sleep, and stay in the bedroom as told. I also have a wee baby and during the day we use it on that door to keep my 3 and nearly 2 year old out of the baby room yet still being able to get airflow through, and I can hear if she is crying and needs something. A wonderful product, just what we were after. Thank you
Mellissa 9th April 2013
After many many months of misery (mine) and an over tired toddler who refused to stay in his room and kept waking the other kids, we had success with this on the first night! 3 nights on, and the threat of it is enough to make him go to sleep straight away! Last night he was asleep by 7pm, instead of the usual 10pm.It is such a great design, and so simple to use. I like how the door isn't shut, so he doesn't feel locked in, and I can also see what he is up to in there! Once again, thanks so much, I will definitely be recommending this to others!

Top Five - Ways To Enjoy (or Not Hate) Running/
If you find running a consistent struggle, you are not alone. Even runners who love running don't love all runs. If you simply can't make friends with running no matter what you do, here are a few tips and links that you might find helpful.
1. Posture
Running posture, like our daily posture, is important. Over time we have gotten used to slumping over at our laptops or while on our phone or relaxing to watch TV. Unfortunately this poor posture translates over into our running form. Slumped shoulders. Head hanging. Eyes down. Core...what core? So tip number one for improving your running, is posture. Eyes up. Stand tall. Head inline with your spine. Shoulders back and relaxed. Hips under you (not tipped back or forward.) Soft footfalls more under your body than far out in front (over striding). Sounds easy, right? Like anything new it is going to take some practice to break old habits so start slow. Doing a "head to toe" body check as you run is a great way to become in tune with your posture. As you run simply ask yourself a few questions: "Am I standing tall? Are my shoulders relaxed? Are my eyes up, looking forward? Are my arms swinging softly back and forth?" Just tuning in to your body will help you begin the process of improving. Focus on one thing at a time for short periods. Keep it up and you'll find that over time your form and posture - and therefore your comfort - improving.
Additional Info: Chi Running - video
2. Belly Breathing
If you are panting like a sled dog every run then you may want to consider a few changes to your running style. First up, practice belly breathing (you know, those deep breaths that extend your lower abdominal). In through your nose, out through you mouth slowly, very relaxed. A 5 count in, a 5 count out. Practice while laying in bed, then sitting and then begin to work that type of breathing into your runs. The 5 count may not work but the act of breathing more deeply into your belly will help oxygenate your blood far more than quick short breathing from your upper chest. Practice, then practice some more. Having breath control can make an enormous difference in your running ability.
More info on Belly Breathing
3. Pacing
There are times to run fast, there are time to run moderately fast but mostly you should be running comfortably. If you don't like running, or find it hard then consider this: slow down!
Unless you are doing speed intervals, hill work or a tempo type run you should be running at a conversational pace. That's right. Conversational. If you can't carry on a chat with your running buddy then you are going too fast. Slow down. Forget about pace and run what feels pleasant to you. Top elite athletes spend much of their time running at an "easy" pace so why should you be any different?
More about Pacing - More Info
4. Mix It Up
Mixing up the terrain (trails, hills, beach) builds strength. Hitting the track for intervals builds efficiency. Road runs at a tempo pace builds consistent race day speed. Try to mix your runs up each week rather than get stuck in the same route at the same pace over and over and over. You'll become a stronger runner, you'll be come more efficient, you'll become a little faster without trying too hard.
Hiking is another way to help build strength. Hilly trails, and the ups and downs of uneven terrain use your muscles differently. This will help you build stronger attachments at your joints, and can reduce over-use injuries often common with repetitive motion.
Article - Importance of Varying Terrain
5. Make It Fun - Or Embrace The Challenge
One way to ensure running success is to make it fun. This could be through a running group, running with a buddy, entering races or training sessions with some great tunes as company. I'll admit to having Feargal Sharkey "A Good Heart" on my running playlist; an 80's classic!
We tend to stick with and work on things we like most. To improve as a runner, you first have to come to peace with running itself. Is it hills you loathe? Run more of them and make it a challenge, something you can overcome and be proud of. Is it speed work? Run with a group where your natural "competitive" instinct can kick in to propel you through a workout. Is it running itself? Stay in the moment, slow down, do your "head to toe body check". Ask yourself some questions. "What is it that I'm finding challenging today?" Remember your inner dialogue can have a huge impact on your moment-to-moment physical ability, so keep it positive, keep it in the now and keep it focused on moving forward.
Humorous Article I Love - I Hate Running (Contains Foul Language)
I don't expect every run to be a good one. Sometimes a 30 minute run can feel like 4 hours and sometimes 4 hours on the trails feels like 30 mins. That is normal, what isn't normal is to struggle every run. I hope the tips provided above help you find a middle ground with running, and help you to improve. Maybe you'll never love it, but if you don't loathe it then that's probably some kind of progress!

LED Light Technology
Advanced LED Light Technology for Youthful Looking Skin
Developed by dermatologists who knew the average person did not need an invasive, sometimes painful procedure to minimize the signs of aging and help build collagen.
It uses light-emitting diodes, or LEDs similar to those that illuminate alarm clocks and VCRs, and a micro massager as the basis of a revolutionary skin care system.
The frequency and duration of the LEDs are the keys to a safe and effective light technology that gradually helps alleviate the signs of aging.
Your skin appears clearer, smoother, tighter, and more radiant, while minimizing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
Each subsequent treatment yields continued gradual improvements in your skin's appearance.
We recommend that you take a photograph of yourself before your first treatment and after your sixth. You are going to like what you see.
Before and After Photos
When Can This Procedure Be Performed?
You cannot get permanent areola pigmentation until all of your breast reconstructive procedures are completed. This is because the size and shape of the breast mound must be finalized before placement of a nipple tattoo can be accurately determined. The reconstruction process can take years for many women, especially when breast revisions are needed.

Kathy McAfee joined the Nunda Rural Fire Department in the 1970s because the department needed volunteers.
"I started because I needed to do something to help in the community," said McAfee, 57.
Not only was she one of the department's first female firefighters, but she also was the state's first certified female firefighter.
Today, she maintains her certification as an emergency medical technician and has served as a fire district trustee for the past two years.
However, what she is widely known for these days is creating and running the department's annual Pancake Breakfast with Santa and the Holiday Food and Gift Delivery, which benefit local children and families.
It all began a little more than 30 years ago with a gift basket, McAfee said.
McHenry Hospital, as it then was called, would give baskets of ham, cheese and fruit to area fire departments at Christmastime.
Since no one was ever at the station unless there was a call, McAfee said, the firefighters decided to donate the goodies to three elderly people in the district. The baskets were delivered on Christmas Eve.
"We did that for three years," McAfee said. "The second year, two had milk and cookies out when we got there."
From their emergency calls, the firefighters became aware of the area's needy families.
"We walked into a number of homes that did not even have Christmas trees," McAfee said.
McAfee worked with Prairie Grove School District 46 to get the names of families who would be willing to receive gift baskets.
"We got a few families the first year, and it grew," she said.
The program grew not only in the number of families helped, but also in the number of people putting it together, McAfee said.
Each year, the student council at Prairie Grove School organizes a food drive. Students and parents help sort the food and wrap gifts. Teachers donate the money for hams or turkeys.
"Prairie Grove School has been key in running a food drive all these years," McAfee said.
The Pancake Breakfast with Santa, which takes place the second Sunday in December, started close to 25 years ago as a way to raise money to buy gifts for the children and gift cards for their parents.
At first, the breakfast took place at the firehouse but since has moved to Prairie Grove School.
The growth allowed even more area young people to be involved, including Boy Scout troops and the fire department's Explorers, who are 14- to 21-year-olds interested in pursuing firefighting careers.
"It is so incredible," McAfee said of the coordinated efforts that include businesses such as Rose Packing Co. in South Barrington, which provides the sausage for the breakfast at cost.
For the past couple of years, a Christmas tree with the names and ages of children has been set up at the firehouse so firefighters can take tags and buy gifts, McAfee said.
Once all the food has been assembled and the gifts and gift cards have been purchased, McAfee arranges for visits to be made to the 12 to 22 families the week before Christmas.
Each family receives a ham or turkey, three boxes of food, personal care items, gift cards and gifts for the children.
A group of 10 firefighters and Santa make the deliveries by ambulance and sing "Jingle Bells" at each stop, McAfee said.
"It's a very heartwarming thing," she said. "The kids are so incredibly surprised. Every year, there's always a story to tell."
Although the firefighters don't know what the children would like for Christmas, oftentimes the children say their gifts are exactly what they wanted, McAfee said.
"It just happens," she said. "That's what's so amazing … seeing these little miracles happening."
McAfee, who begins work in July for the December events, always is looking for volunteers. To help, call the fire department at 815-455-1559.

words of thanks/
Tomorrow is a celebration. A day to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives: the ones we recognize and the ones we take for granted.
Thanksgiving is a time that I feel my words have little to add. Because it is not a time for reading as much as it is a time for speaking. It is a time to lift up our voices to the Maker of the Universe and praise His Holy Name. It is a time to share stories of what He has done and to rejoice with those in the community He has given us.
So today, instead of giving you my words, I will give you His. I will give you verses in the Bible that speak of Thanksgiving- verses that speak of why it is important and why we should be thankful. Use these words as a launching point to add your own words of praise.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. -Psalm 95:1-7
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. - Psalm 100
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. - Psalm 136:1-3
"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. – 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. –Philippians 4:6-7
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. –Colossians 3:17
"Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!" -Revelation 7:12

If there's one word I could use to describe winter skincare it would be: Moisturize.
Once temperatures drop, I always notice a change in my skin and how it reacts to products. Since I have a lot of acne scarring, I tend to use products that will speed skin cell turnover and these always result in dry and flaky skin during winter.
To combat this, I switch to gentler products and scrubs to keep my skin fresh and hydrated. Along with drinking a ton of water (which we all know we need to do more of) these are the products I use during the cold winter months.Read More

Angela's capstone project combined styles and stories. This experimental graphic novel synthesized many of her interests: Slavic myth, super heros, acceptance of body image, popular song, and biology. That is Angela with the blue hair (above).
The carbon paper traced line proved to be a powerful and unique technique in her hands. I'm sure there's more creativity to come. See more at http://www.arovnyak.deviantart.com/

POSTS: There were a couple of great posts. One at Beautiful/Decay. Thank you. And, another by a fabulous collector/lady I like: The highlight of my day.
SHOW: (so) Much (too) little, shared with Gala Bent and Sharon Arnold, was at Northwind Arts Center.
About a year ago NAC invited me to have a show with them. They asked that it be a two or three person show and I immediately began thinking about who I would like to invite. Gala and Sharon came to mind quickly and I can't say how delighted I am that the both agreed. Our work is not immediately visually similar, which is exactly what I wanted for this show. The places where we overlap lies below and is rich territory: repetition, pattern, and a reach for balance of geometry and control with fluid natural phenomenon is present in all of our work. This is spiced with a serious crush on science and the approach of asking or why/how/what do we do and where do with do it, plus a healthy dose of storytelling.

About Recycled Water
Rancho California Water District (RCWD) is continuing to develop more uses of recycled water. Water recycling, which produces highly treated wastewater, is used to irrigate most golf courses, large landscaped areas, schools, parks, and greenbelts. Southern California is using more and more recycled water in order to save its precious well water and import water for drinking and household use. Use the
On-Site Recycled Water Irrigation Manual
for proper usage and handling of recycled water, along with requirements for installing or modifying your irrigation system. Managers and supervisors of recycled water systems can also reference the
RCWD Recycled Water Site Supervisor Training Program
The District's recycled water meets the strict standards of the State Water Resources Control Board and the use of recycled water conserves the regions supply of drinking water. Recycled water is wastewater that has been purified through a series of treatment processes. According to these standards, tertiary-treated recycled water is safe for all human contact, except drinking.

'It pays Dividends' or perhaps not!
It has long been the law that dividends can only be paid out of distributable profits. You shouldn't just declare a dividend without exercising various safeguards.
In ascertaining whether there are distributable profits, directors are required to consider the Company's professionally prepared accounts.
If the company does not have its first year's accounts, or it has been some time since the company's last annual accounts, then the directors in deciding whether to declare a dividend should have regard to professionally prepared initial or interim accounts.
The directors should also have regard to any events that have occurred since the last balance sheet, such as potential litigation (which will require an assessment of the merits of those claims), a fall in the value of the company's assets, or possibly a change in legislation (i.e. a company's increased pension liability).
Where dividends are paid, otherwise than out of profits, then should the Company's fortune falter, the Company, and any subsequent Liquidator, can bring a claim to recover those unlawful dividends. You could end up paying back your salary if you effectively paid your salary by declaring dividends.
It has long been a vexed legal question as to whether a dividend could be set aside by a liquidator, even where the dividends had been lawfully declared by reference to professionally prepared accounts and the requirements of the Companies Act.
The High Court has recently held that a Liquidator of a Company can set aside an otherwise lawful dividend having regard to the provisions of the Companies Act (i.e. paid out of distributable profits) where the purpose of the dividend was to put the assets of the Company beyond the reach of a person who is making, or may make a claim against the Company, or to otherwise prejudice that person's claim.
The advantage to the Liquidator in bringing a claim that the payment of a dividend was a transaction defrauding creditors, is that the Liquidator will not have to prove that the Company was insolvent or became insolvent as a consequence of the dividend, and nor will claims have to be commenced within restricted time frames.
For advice concerning unlawful dividends and claims by liquidators, or office holders wishing to bring a claim please contact Richard Cooper of our Dispute Resolution team

An interim report by a five-member banking commission, headed by Sir John Vickers, is expected to recommend a series of measures to protect banks' key functions at times of crisis.
The moves are likely to cost banks an extra £5billion but are set to be supported by George Osborne, the Chancellor.
However, the recommendations will be contested by Liberal Democrat cabinet ministers including Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, exposing a clear fault line at the top of the government.
Mr Cable has in the past called for the big banks such as HSBC, Barclays and Royal Bank of Scotland to be completely split up into retail and investment arms- and Sir John's report does not go as far as this.
A senior Lib Dem source attempted to distance his party from the findings ahead of Monday's publication of the commission's interim report.
The source dismissed the document as merely an "interim report" which "will set out a number of options".
He served notice that senior Lib Dem ministers would continue the fight, within government, for "more competition" and something much more like the party's holy grail - the break-up of the biggest banks.
"What I think we are seeing here is something designed to draw the banks out and get their objections out there," the source added. "In that way, when the final decision comes, they can't say they weren't warned."
The split is the latest in a series of rifts between the Tories and the Lib Dems ahead of next month's local elections, which see the parties contesting thousands of council seats, and the referendum on moving to the Alternative Votes (AV) system at general elections.
David Cameron and the vast majority of the Conservative Party support the current First Past the Post system while the reverse is true for Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems.
Mr Osborne is said to be ready to face criticism of the banks for over costly changes including the ring-fencing of operationally essential parts of their business.
In effect, a "wall" would protect deposit-taking, small business lending and payment systems - turning these parts of banks into subsidiaries with their own funding and capitalisation.
By contrast, banks would be able operate the investment banking side of their business - underwriting, selling securities, assisting mergers and other functions - largely untouched.
It was this side of the business which sparked the crisis of 2008 - leading to Lib Dem charges of "casino banking."
Banks have protested about their treatment with threats from Barclays and HSBC that they might move the headquarters out of Britain to more relaxed regimes. However, the Chancellor is understood not to be impressed by such manoeuvring.
Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor, said Mr Osborne must not "duck the challenge" posed by the Vickers report.
He called for tough action to promotoe greater competition, structural reforms to protect customers' interests an international agreement on the way forward for the sector.
He added: "The banking crisis in Britain and around the world was devastating for families, for businesses and for our economy.
"That's why the commission must have radical proposals and must not pull its punches. The government must implement them – in a sensitive way and with international agreement to secure jobs - but they must do the radical thing.
"That's the only way to ensure this can never happen to our economy again."
Mr Cable has previously cited last year's coalition agreement as "quite explicit" on the future of the sector.
The document, drawn up in the weeks following last May's general election, says: "We will take steps to reduce systemic risk in the banking system and will establish an independent commission to investigate the complex issue of separating retail and investment banking in a sustainable way."
Lord Oakeshott, the former Lib Dem Treasury spoeksman who is a key political ally of Mr Cable, said: "George Osborne and David Cameron are very good at talking the talk on the banks but after Project Merlin [the lending and bonus deal signed by banks] it is bonus bonanza and loan famine as usual.
"It will be crunch time when Vickers finally reports and then they must act."

A particle bound in an infinite potential wall at $x=0$ will apply a force on the wall. For a plane wave and imagining it as a fluid bouncing off the reflection wall at $x=0$, find the force in terms of $\phi'(0)$, the derivative of wave function at $x=0$.
We know, for a reflecting fluid, $\textrm{force }= \frac{dp}{dt}$, where $p$ is momentum. Classically, $p=mv$. In our case, $v$ is $\hbar k/m$, the velocity of the plane wave. Instead of mass, we have $|\phi|^2dx$, the probability of finding the massive particle in an interval $dx$. So $p= \frac{\hbar k}{m}|\phi|^2 dx$. Then, force $f=\frac{dp}{dt} =\frac{d(|\phi|^2 dx \hbar k/m)}{dt}$
By the continuity equation, $\frac{d(|\phi|^2)}{dt}=-\frac{dj}{dx}$, where $j$ is probability current = $\hbar k/m |\phi|^2$. So $f=\frac{dp}{dt}=\left(\frac{\hbar k}{m}\right)^2 \frac{d(|\phi|^2)}{dx} = \frac{\hbar k}{m} 2 \phi \phi' dx$.
But for infinite potential, $\phi(0)=0$, so this gives 0. So I have an unwanted $\phi$ and a pesky $dx$ in my problem. I'm stumped for days, I'd appreciate all help. I'm fairly sure I should be getting an answer of force ~ $\phi'(0)^2$.

Jagannath University New campus built in Keranigan5 September, 2016 11:37:59 pm
Daily Dhaka Times : The new campus will be an addition to the present infrastructure and other resources of the university, located at the old part of the capital city," Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid told a press conference at his secretariat today.
A new campus of the Jagannath University (JnU) will be built in Keraniganj on the outskirt of the capital city to facilitate teachers and students a comfortable and standard atmosphere for higher education.
Referring to a decision taken today (Monday) at the cabinet meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair, the education minister said the new campus has been planned to remove the long-standing infrastructural crisis of the university ensuring a long-term solution to various problems of the students and teachers there.
The minister said that the new campus would have academic building, library, laboratory, auditorium and vice-chancellor's residence and dormitories for accommodating 30,000 students.
He said the government has already purchased 25 bighas of land in Keraniganj and the process of acquiring more land at the same area would start soon to construct the new buildings.
On Sunday, a 13-member delegation of Jagannath University Teachers Association met the education minister to discuss overall development issues of the university including construction of new halls.
During the discussion with the teachers' delegation, Nahid said construction of a 17-storey hall for female students is underway near Bangla Bazaar Girls School. Ground floor of the hall has already been completed.
Earlier, students of the university staged demonstrations for many times demanding measures to solve their accommodation crisis.

UW Heart Stem Cell Study Among AHA's Top Ten
Our Services
In 2009, a group of cardiovascular researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health proved that functional human heart muscle cells can be produced from genetically reprogrammed skin cells.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the discovery was one of the ten most important research advances for cardiovascular disease and stroke for the year.
Dr. Timothy Kamp, a UW professor of medicine, in collaboration with stem cell pioneer Dr. James Thomson, led the team that demonstrated that human induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells could be differentiated into contracting cardiac cells.
The team's findings raise the possibility that a patient's own skin cells could someday be used to repair damaged heart tissue.
"It's certainly an honor to have our research recognized by an organization devoted to the same goal we are-keeping patients' hearts healthy," says Dr. Kamp. "Much more research is needed before this type of stem cell can be used clinically, but there is significant promise that these cells may provide a powerful new treatment for heart failure and other degenerative diseases of the heart."
The AHA doesn't assign rank to the research advances on its annual list. Other notable advances included studies documenting the effectiveness of controlling calories in maintaining heart health, the effectiveness of oral blood thinners in patients with stroke and atrial fibrillation and the impact of smoke-free legislation on reducing heart attacks.

DescriptionThe Great Elf Strike of 1999 brought the North Pole to it's knees. Several demands had to be met like higher wags, lower urinals and vacations. Kris Kringle decides to go on a cruise and take some elves and his unemployed brother, Dingle Kringle. Dingle makes a bet with Kris and to settle it, they'll play a winner-take-all game of shuffleboard.
If you are playing a one player game, you play as Kris Kringle in red and the computer is Dingle in blue. You begin by deciding who plays first. As you brought no change and Dingle is broke, you flip an elf. The loser must play first. You play by pressing space or clicking the mouse. You can use the arrow keys or move the mouse to aim left or right. You will see an indicator of the ship's level as well as a grid with lit boxes moving from bottom to top. The farther away the lights, the more power you will have. If you go too far left or right, you will fall off the side. If you go too far forward, you will go off the edge and your elf will get eaten by a shark. You are attempting to stop the elves in the one hundred, two hundred, three hundred or four hundred areas. The four hundred area is the farthest edge without going to the sharks. There are three rounds of four tries apiece with the seas getting rougher each round.
If an elf appears with a yellow flashing bathing suit, it will hold up a sign indicating that it is double or triple points. After each round, the points are totaled and after the game is over, the winner is shown with a Christmas wreath with Christmas lights around their portrait. As this is an Elf Bowling, there are wisecracks and sight gags aplenty.

Moving on, we have three new images from Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth installment in the successful video game franchise. I admit I hold the first Resident Evil movie as a guilty pleasure but the second and third ones are just wastes of time, in my opinion. However, from what we've seen so far the fourth film will hopefully bring things back to being as fun as the first one.
Check out the images below, courtesy of IGN:
Resident Evil: Afterlife hits theaters on September 10th, 2010.
Finally we have some new images for the upcoming action-revenge flick, Faster, starring Dwayne Johnson. We posted the first teaser trailer and poster for the film yesterday so check those out if you happened to have missed them. Once you have, take a look at a selection of the new images from the movie below:
You can check out the rest of the Faster images over at Latino Review. The film opens in theaters on November 24th, 2010.
Well that's it for our latest round-up of new movies images. Which is your favorite? It might be the obvious choice but I have to go with the Thor one personally.

- 2014. Castration modulates singing patterns and electrophysiological properties of ra projection neurons in adult male zebra finches. PeerJ PrePrints 2:e247v2 https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.247v2
Castration can change levels of plasma testosterone. Androgens such as testosterone play an important role in stabilizing birdsong. The robust nucleus of the arcopallium (RA) is an important premotor nucleus critical for singing. In this study, we investigated the effect of castration on singing patterns and electrophysiological properties of projection neurons (PNs) in the RA of adult male zebra finches.Adult male zebra finches were castrated and the changes in bird song assessed. We also recorded the electrophysiological changes from RA PNs using patch clamp recording. We found that the plasma levels of testosterone were significantly decreased, song syllable's entropy was increased and the similarity of motif was decreased after castration. Spontaneous and evoked firing rates, membrane time constants, and membrane capacitance of RA PNs in the castration group were lower than those of the control and the sham groups. Afterhyperpolarization(AHP)time to peak of spontaneous action potential (AP) was prolonged after castration.These findings suggest that castration decreases song stereotypy and excitability of RA PNs in male zebra finches.

Standing Up for Servers
I have been an avid fan of the Reader for over ten years. You have written great articles about my friends, local bands, I love the food reviews, etc. But this tidbit written by Ian Pike degrading servers in San Diego will make me never pick up a magazine again. His insanely unintelligent, verbosely disgusting article on servers here — and trust me I have worked with the best chefs in San Diego — makes me think he is a completely out-of-touch jerk.

No Homeless Expert
I am writing in response to Ken Harrison's story about homeless people ("Will Work for Food," October 25). While a lot of homeless people do have substance abuse problems, this is not true of all of them. What about veterans? Young people? Couples and families that have lost homes due to the economy?
Another issue I have with the article is Mr. Harrison stating that homeless people can get help if needed. What if the person in question is mentally ill and has no family?
I agree that a lot of the sign holders are not legitimately homeless, but just because Mr. Harrison held a sign for one day at an off-ramp, that does not make him an expert on homelessness.

$1 Not to Lie
I know most of these panhandlers are scammers, but some stories really get to me ("Will Work for Food," October 25). I recall the last time I turned down a guy who claimed to be a vet, wounded in Afghanistan or somewhere like that, with a family to support and no way to support them until his disability got approved. He even showed me scars on his leg that he claimed were from bullet wounds.
Now, being disabled myself, I know that he should be able to get SSI while he waited, unless he made too much money for SSI, so I know his story probably wasn't true, but I still felt like a jackass for lying to him and telling him I didn't have any money when I really did. It would have been worth a buck to avoid lying to him.
When I had a job and was making plenty of money I used to give a buck or some change to anybody who asked just because I was grateful I had it to give. I don't have as much surplus anymore and I've stopped, but it feels too cold-hearted.

Homeless for Real
I just had to write after reading "Will Work for Food," by Ken Harrison (October 25). Please tell me that was a joke. If not then it is one big huge load of BS. No one makes that kind of money on any off-ramp. I know this for a fact as I am homeless and many times have to resort to holding a sign — although I don't dirty myself up when I do, as washing my clothes is costly for me. So, I'm out there wearing clean clothes.
If any of you want to really know what it's like out there and what the real story is, come out and spend some time with me. I can tell you that there are a lot of people out there working on getting back to where they were. Also, many are mentally ill, addicted to something, or on the lam. There are more, but these are the largest groups. Most of the people I know out there put forth a serious effort to keep up their appearance and look decent. It's insulting that people just assume homeless people are all dirty grimy bums. Grow a brain. Or, better yet, come find out the truth in person.

The Road to Theocracy
Concerning the anonymous advertisement on page 13 of the Reader for the week of October 25, which is supposedly the Thanksgiving Proclamation written by George Washington in 1789. Along with other proselytizing religious ads that the Reader has printed, it was almost certainly paid for by a particular right-wing wacko church organization which, as stated, decided to remain nameless.
This ad was placed to try and show that God is part of American traditions and values, as a large amount of Americans believe. The proclamation however, was written at a time when man knew almost nothing of science and the universe around him. One thing I think that most Americans can agree on, as evidence of our Constitution, is that our founding fathers intended to keep God out of our laws. God is a personal thing. Keep him in your life if you wish, but we start down a dangerous road to theocracy if we allow him into our laws.

Lost in Florida Canyon
I pray that whomever finds my body will send this note to the Reader, whose incorrect directions within the October 25 Roam-O-Rama ("Seven Bridge Walk") sent me tripping down some brush a few nights ago into what I've heard passing bicyclists refer to as "Florida Canyon" during the hellish days I've been stranded in these bushes, legs useless, throat too dry to cry out. The next-to-last paragraph, "Turn left/west on Robinson Avenue" is most definitely incorrect. You must have meant "right/west."
You've seriously messed up a longtime fan who was using your guide with abundant trust for the first time. And, I fear, the last. There is no hope. Had to eat my left arm this morning. Things are getting bl——

Real Solid Poetry
I am sincerely asking myself: Why do you guys choose to publish terrible poetry? "Family Reunion 2012" (October 18) has to be one of the most boring and mediocre poems I've ever read. If the rest of Tomás Gayton's poetry and prose is anything like it, I am in utter awe of its publication. And you expect people to take a genuine interest in poetry, which already has a reputation for pretentiousness and tediousness, with mundane publications such as this?
It seems to me as though the writers you publish have better sounding credentials than actual interesting things to say. Give me a break with this crap and publish some real solid poetry so that I might continue to take a peek at what's being offered.

More Meidai
I saw that you featured San Diego rapper Meidai in an article (Blurt: "Record-Release Roundup," October 25). I heard some of his music after that and was inspired by his new album. I would enjoy reading more about him. Hopefully you can do a larger piece on him soon.

Women in Business's spring Conference is the culmination of women leadership, passion, and success. Each year Women in Business hosts a two day conference comprised of a series of invigorating panels, workshops, and speakers that embolden us to be the strong women we are.
This year our executive board is comprised of six incredible seniors, and they are about to take on their last Conference before they face the world outside of Kelley. We wanted to find out what Conference means to them, and this is what they had to say:
Ellie Bonanno, President – "Conference is one of my favorite times of the year. There is so much hype and excitement surrounding it in the months and weeks leading up to the weekend. I love the new energy that each committee brings each year and that the themes, speakers, and set up are constantly changing.
Conference is a reminder that I'm here for something more than a degree. I'm here to connect with incredible people following their dreams. I'm here to learn about myself and what I can bring to the table. I'm here to decide what I really want in life and wholeheartedly follow it."
Elizabeth Settle, Vice President of Networking – "I love the Conference themes. It's funny how just a few words can be so powerful and inspiring. WIB Conference has always centered the weekend long event around such moving themes. In my time with WIB we have seen "Have it All", "(Re)defining Success", and "Fearless". All which have been applicable to lives that we strive to live.
WIB Conference is a source of inspiration each and every year. WIB is so fortunate to have exposure to such amazing and respected women in the business world that feel compelled enough to share their story with us."
Jamie Baer, Vice President of Outreach – "The day of Conference is one of the best days to be a member of WIB. I feel such a strong sense of pride of my WIB peers when I look around and observe the months of planning that went into the creation of our organization's largest, highest-budget event. One of my favorite parts of the Conference weekend is the keynote speaker. Not only I am impressed by the individuals who agree to speak at our event, but I'm also proud to be part of an organization that has a strong professional reputation to attract such people. I also enjoy the keynote speaker part of the event because our organization invites all members of the Kelley and IU community to join us. I love seeing my friends there who are not in WIB with me because I'm proud of what I'm a part of and the fact that we are sharing such a cool event with everyone.
I was an Associate on the Conference committee during my sophomore year in WIB. We started planning Conference the summer before the big day (in February), so I was able to participate in the progression of the event from the initial theme brainstorming to the room reservations to the actual event. I learned so much about time management, long-term planning, and crisis management that year. I remember being intimidated by the task of planning Conference at the beginning of the school year, but under the guidance of my amazing Directors Caroline Dusenberry and Gretchen Kohler, I learned how to separate the task into manageable chunks and work together with my other associates to accomplish tasks."
Meggie Christopher, Vice President of Finance – "What I love so much about Conference (and especially what I've loved so far this year) is seeing it go from just an idea during the summer to full execution in the spring. SO much goes into the planning of Conference, and it is so exciting to see how the committee pours their hearts and souls into the planning process to produce such an amazing result for the rest of the organization. I particularly saw this process my sophomore year when Elizabeth Settle and Jamie Baer were on the Conference committee. They stayed up late the night before making sure the table decorations were perfect. Seeing how much work went into the event behind the scenes and how that translates to such meaningful and memorable experiences for our members is just incredible, and makes me so happy to see. I can't wait to see how this year turns out. I am sure it will be nothing short of amazing, and our younger members especially will be blown away!"
Annalise Wenig, Vice President of Communications – "I always love Conference pre-night. You can feel everyone's excitement as we prepare for a weekend of personal and professional growth. Because Conference is WIB's biggest event of the year, it almost feels like Christmas Eve.
Conference gives me an opportunity to reflect on the challenges and changes I've gone through in the last year. It's a time to set goals and get a new perspective on what I want to achieve. Most importantly, Conference has taught be to take a step back from the day-to-day and look at the big picture. It has helped me gain perspective on the opportunities that have been given to me (like attending such an amazing school, and being a part of something like WIB) and also the challenges that I will face (like being a woman in the professional world). And of course Conference lets me do all of this while surrounded but many other talented and intelligent women who are going through the same things. Conference reminds me again and again how fortunate I am.
Maria Grosdidier, Vice President of Membership – "Conference is a time to be inspired and grow from those around you. I love having the opportunity to talk with a variety of companies and learn about their lives in the real world. Our keynote speakers are always amazing as well; they give me the courage to know that anything is possible. If I want to start my own company, I can. If I want to be a CEO, I can. To be able to be exposed to that level of professionalism and learning at our age is unreal.
Each year, Conference is different and fresh. New theme, new speakers, new focal points, new companies, etc. I have gotten an extremely well rounded idea of what it is like to be a professional in the business world and how to go about it as a woman."
Women in Business's spring conference is on February 17th and 18th. Conference is open to the public on February 18th, and we encourage all to attend what will be an exciting day of leadership and growth.
