* Britain names Mark Carney as BoE governor
* Carney says taking job at critical time for UK economy
* Carney's appointment takes investors by surprise
(Repeats without changes to story)
By David Milliken and Matt Falloon
LONDON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Britain named Canadian central
bank chief Mark Carney on Monday as the next governor of the
Bank of England, springing the surprise choice of a foreigner to
help steer the world's sixth-largest economy out of stagnation.
A former Goldman Sachs investment banker who as central bank
head guided the Canadian economy through the global economic
crisis, Carney will succeed Mervyn King who retires next July.
"He is quite simply the best, most experienced and most
qualified person in the world to be the next Governor of the
Bank of England," finance minister George Osborne told
parliament in announcing the appointment.
During the crisis, Carney helped to make Canada's recession
one of the shallowest of the world's richest nations. No
Canadian bank needed government help, and the country recovered
all the jobs it lost in the downturn relatively rapidly.
By contrast, Britain had to bail out some of its biggest
banks and the economy is struggling to achieve growth four years
after the crisis broke.
Carney also heads the Financial Stability Board (FSB), a
Basel-based body that sets global banking rules.
"This will be a very important transitional phase for both
the institution itself, the Bank of England, but above all for
the British economy," Carney told a news conference in Ottawa.
From next year the BoE will take charge of British financial
regulation, almost doubling its size. This boosted the case for
a governor with strong management skills and financial market
experience, rather than someone in King's academic mould.
Carney said he would help the British economy as it tries to
reduce its reliance on financial services.
"I can play a constructive role ... in relaunching this
institution with its new responsibilities, contributing to price
stability, to financial stability and to ensuring that the
rebalancing of the UK economy - which is underway - ... is seen
through over the course of the next five years."
Carney's past as a Goldman Sachs investment banker has been
a double-edged sword, as he fought to prove his loyalties lie
with ordinary citizens, not his high-flying banker
ex-colleagues. He clashed memorably last year with JPMorgan
Chase & Co Chief Executive Jamie Dimon in Washington as the
banker argued against new regulations for the financial sector.
Until now, Carney had strongly played down the possibility
of heading the British central bank. "(It's a) surprise, huge
surprise," said Peter Dixon, an economist with Commerzbank.
"That was the one guy I didn't have in the running."
The athletic-looking Carney will now become Britain's most
powerful unelected public figure, responsible for setting
interest rates and looking after the banking sector.
Britain's government had been widely expected to pick Deputy
Governor Paul Tucker as the new chief, ignoring calls for a more
radical option to shake up the central bank.
"Mr Carney is unique amongst the potential candidates in
combining long experience of central banking, huge international
credibility in economics, deep expertise in financial regulation
and a first hand experience of private sector financial
institutions," Osborne said.
The foreign exchange market passed a rapid judgment on the
announcement with sterling rising against both the U.S. and
Canadian dollars. The pound hit to a 2-1/2 week high against the
Canadian dollar to C$1.5950 from C$1.5898 beforehand.
Pressure on Carney will be high and financiers in the City
of London would expect him to act quickly to jolt Britain's $2.5
trillion economy out of stagnation, prevent bubbles and keep the
financial sector safe.
Carney is not a British national, although Osborne said he
would apply for UK citizenship. He studied at Oxford University.
Carney will serve at the Bank of Canada until May, and then
starts at the Bank of England in July. He will serve a five-year
term, rather than the eight-year term that had been expected for
the next BoE governor.
"Perhaps one factor in Carney's favour is the Canadian banks
were very highly regulated before the credit crisis and
accordingly the Canadian banking system is in good shape," said
Philip Shaw of Investec.
"One thing we would expect is the new governor sets about
delegating responsibility very quickly, given the enormity of
the tasks that the Bank of England is taking on."
Other figures earlier named as possible successors had
included Financial Services Authority chairman Adair Turner,
John Vickers, author of a government report on bank reform, and
Terence Burns, a former top finance ministry civil servant.

BOSTON—No. 14 Union navigated the elements to shut out the Harvard men's hockey team, 2-0, in an outdoor game in front of 8,981 fans Friday night at Fenway Park.
Kelly Zajac logged a goal and an assist and Mat Bodie scored to help the Dutchmen (11-5-6, 5-2-3 ECAC Hockey) win the game. Stephen Michalek made 30 saves for the Crimson (4-5-6, 3-4-4) as both teams—outfitted in new uniforms for the Sun Life Frozen Fenway 2012 event—battled winds near 40 miles per hour and swirling snow from the ice.
The game turned in the final seconds of the second period. With a second straight period appearing about to end scoreless, Bodie's power-play shot from the top of the circles deflected off two Crimson defenders, into the air and into the goal with 3.6 seconds showing on the game clock.
The Crimson had nearly gone ahead earlier in the frame, when Peter Starrett banged in a shot from in front of the goal off a feed from Daniel Moriarty, but Union goalie Troy Grosenick's skate had knocked the net off its moorings seconds earlier, negating the shot. Michalek kept the game scoreless with a huge save. Union's Nolan Julseth-White came out of the box to give the Dutchmen a three-on-one rush, but the rookie goalie gloved Zajac's shot from the left side.
In the third period, Union built on the momentum from its score in the waning moments of the second, limiting Harvard to two shots. Zajac doubled his team's lead at 5:37 of the period, stuffing the puck in from the left post after Julseth-White sent a point shot wide and Wayne Simpson backhanded the puck toward the crease.
Grosenick finished with 18 saves to hand Harvard its first shutout loss of the season and end the Crimson's run of 18 consecutive games with a power-play goal, dating back to last season. The loss ended a four-game conference unbeaten streak for the Crimson and was just Harvard's second loss in the last nine games.
Eleven of Grosenick's stops came in the opening period. Harvard registered the first six shots on goal in the game and held an 11-8 shots advantage in the period.
Colin Blackwell, who also delivered one of the biggest hits of the game in the first period, led Harvard with four shots. Patrick McNally blocked three Union shots.

"Functional cure" of HIV reported in 14 patients, French scientists say
More evidence suggests a "functional cure" of HIV is possible if the disease is treated early.
A study of 14 patients who were treated with antiviral HIV medications within weeks of infection now have now have no disease activities years after stopping medication. The research comes weeks after news spread that a Mississippi baby who was born with HIV and received immediate treatment was now disease-free at two and a half years old.
The study's authors warn their findings may not be the norm for all patients with HIV, though they estimated up to 15 percent of patients may be able to keep the disease at bay without the help of medication, which means they are functionally cured.
"Given the difficulty of eradicating [HIV], a functional cure for HIV-infected patients appears to be a more reachable short-term goal," wrote the study's authors.
Published March 14 in the journal PLoS Pathogens, French researchers described the 14 cases who have controlled their HIV post-treatment. All 14 patients were diagnosed with the infection in the late 1990s or early 2000s, 12 of whom showed symptoms of the infection.
Many people who are HIV-positive do not show any symptoms of infections. However, anywhere from two weeks to three months after infection people may experience fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, sore throat and fatigue -- described as "the worst flu ever," according to AIDS.gov.
All these patients were given standard combination antiretroviral therapy -- which typically can reduce risk for other infections and death, but cannot cure the infection -- for a median of three years. Most people with HIV/AIDS have to take these drugs for the rest of their lives. What may have made a difference for these patients is that all started the therapy within 10 weeks of infection.
The faster treatments were able to preserve the patients' immune system responses and protect against inflammation caused by the disease, in addition to reducing reservoirs of HIV elsewhere in the body. These reservoirs of dormant HIV often re-infect people once they stop taking medication.
- Child apparently cured of HIV: What are the implications?
- Baby born with AIDS virus appears to have been cured
- Baby's HIV "cure" differs from previously reported case
Using estimates from a French hospital database, the researchers said 5 to 15 percent of patients who stop their antiviral therapy early may no longer need medication. The effects were seen a median of six years after stopping treatment.
"Most individuals who follow the same treatment will not control the infection, but there are a few of them who will," study author Dr Asier Saez-Cirion, an assistant professor in the regulation of retroviral infections unit at the Institute Pasteur in Paris, told the BBC. "They still have HIV, it is not eradication of HIV, it is a kind of remission of the infection," he said of the functionally cured patients.
Earlier in March, researchers reported disease-remission in a little girl who had been born to a mother who didn't know she was HIV-positive. Typically if a mom has HIV, she will undergo prenatal care and doctors will give low-dose medication in the hopes of preventing HIV transmission. However, since this mother had no prior care by the time she came to the emergency room in labor. Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the University of Mississippi, gave a stronger-than-usual treatment of three HIV drugs within 30 hours of her birth.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CBS This Morning at the time, the treatment course serves as "an important proof of concept that if you treat early enough, you prevent the virus from establishing what we call a reservoir where it's very difficult to eliminate that after it's been established ... so they got a jump on virus." He added, "We're going to have to start looking at the relative risk versus the benefit of doing it this way."
Thirty-four million people live with HIV/AIDS throughout the world, with almost three-fourths of new HIV infections occurring in developing countries.
Saez-Cirion says the Miss. case along with his findings may lead to better treatment strategies.
"(This data) and the Mississippi study strongly support early treatment initiation and may hold important clues for the development of a strategy to cure HIV or at least induce a long-term control without the need of antiretroviral treatment," he told Reuters.
Dr. Myron Cohen, an HIV expert at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, told the AFP that the French study was "provocative."
"It provokes us to think. Who in the universe of people treated early can come off treatment? They showed us some clues, but it is a question that demands more science," he said.

This home in Sweden is a 300 m2 old carpentry that was renovated and is now for sale here.
Simplicity, bright spaces, black and white details, and green plants, are quite common when we are talking about interiors styling in Scandinavia.
But this home takes the idea of an indoors garden to a whole new level.
There are plants everywhere!
I find it fascinating because I really love home plants but, unfortunately, I can't keep them alive for long enough to make it worth having them (except for the occasional bouquet).
Also, notice how the same tones can be found inside the home and outside in the garden.

I called Tire Butler this morning at 11:30 a.m.to ask if they could send a mobile truck over to fix a flat tire for my friend who was visiting from the U.S. My friend had driven over a pot hole the day before and was concerned that there was damage to the rim and that she'd have to replace the tire. Ninety minutes later, a technician showed up, removed the damaged tire and rim, diagnosed the problem, fixed the tire and put the tire and rim back on, telling my friend that she didn't need to buy a new tire. Tire Butler provides amazing, fast and expert service! An awesome business run by amazing staff.

Just would like to give an excellent Shout Out to Tire Butler & Josh. I am leaving for Florida & I wanted to get an oil change & a tire rotation done on the vehicle I am driving to Florida with. I contacted 3 different Toyota dealers to get this done & all 3 told me that they were not booking until the first week in December. I then thought of Tire Butler after remembering seeing one of their trucks on the road a couple of months earlier. I spoke with Josh on a Monday & he arranged for someone to come by my house the next day to rotate the tires. The job was completed professionally and as promised. I then took the vehicle into Mr. Lube who did the oil change & filter in 15 minutes.,Thank you Tire Butler and Josh for helping me out and remembering what customer service is all about. The Toyota dealerships in the GTA really need to learn something about customer service. Thanks again. I'll send you a postcard from the sunny south!!!!

It was such a pleasure to work with everyone at Tire Butler. From the moment I reached out to them, to the day they came to my house to do the change, all the staff were so courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. I definitely will be using Tire Butler for years to come!! Thanks for the amazing work!

Excellent service; quick, efficient, conscientious staff; all around lifesavers! Besides the ease of not needing to visit a garage to have my tires changed, Tire Butler is great in emergency situations! I recently skidded a curb and blew one of my summer tires -- rather than call CAA for roadside assistance, I called Tire Butler, who showed up with my winter tires in under 20 minutes, changed out all my tires in the parking lot where I'd pulled over, and arranged for a new replacement summer tire to be ordered and stored in their facility. I felt extremely well taken care of and grateful to be a Tire Butler customer!

Phenomenal experience working with TireButler on finding the best tire for my vehicle. Spoke with Josh and he provided and recommended the most adequate all season tire. I booked an appointment for the following week, one of their technicians showed up at my place and installed the new tires. They also took the old ones as I no longer had a purpose for them. Overall great experience, would definitely recommend.

Love Tire Butler! They have always been on time and efficient. While not cheap, the convenience is worth it. We also had an emergency situation (blown out tire) and they squeezed us in, which I very much appreciated. Highly recommend!

These guys are great - they come to your location, check your tires to make sure they're in good shape, store your off-season tires. Fast, reliable and friendly.

Entire experience was great. So easy and convenient to have Tire Butler come to us and save us hours of our time compared to going to dealer or shop.

Very convenient alternative to dragging tires to and from a service centre twice per year. On time. Friendly. Reasonably priced
00:19 17 Feb 18
Outstanding service! I've been servicing with Tire Butler in the last 4 years. Our kids bring their cars to our driveway and we get all four cars serviced. Very professional, fast, and courteous. They diagnosed a problem that was caused by my previous installer (he did not put O rings and as a result the car was vibrating at highway speed). When one of the cars had a flat tire, they were able to find me a new tire faster than my Toronto dealership (Subaru). I highly recommend!

Came in to have a rim repaired from a sign falling and denting it. Was called back after a while to let me know the rim was repaired but when I arrived, the rim was no longer round and the clear coat was missing on that side. Spoke with the manager and asked him if he even bothered to inspect it before calling me?!? I refused the rim and left it with them to be fixed properly. Upon my second visit, the rim was still not perfectly round and I was told that this was the best they could do. I was not even offered a refund for my time and gas having to come back twice. To make matters worse, after five months, the clear coat started peeling. I contacted the company to let them know and I was told that they were too busy and would get back to me when they have time. To this day I have not even received a call regarding the repair. They were friendly and nice when it came time to take my money but the service during and after is complete garbage! They should be ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of people and calling themselves a business! Too bad you cannot give a negative star review because even one star is too much! Get your rims repaired somewhere else that treats you with respect and not just as a dollar sign!

I've been a customer since 2014 and the service is AMAZING. My tires get changed while I'm at work and the cost is reasonable for service AND storage.

I have used Tire Butler before and it was a super easy and simple way to have my tires changed. This time I was in a pinch but Karen was able to fit me into the schedule - same day! They came onsite (no waiting in lines forever to get my winters off) while i was in a meeting. I left them the key, they changed the tires and it was done. I am very grateful for their help and excellent service. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Peter Hoffman
01:23 26 Mar 18
I have used Tire Butler for all my cars exclusively since 2010. During that time, I have bought 6 complete sets of high end tires, 3 of which were wheel & tires sets. In each case their prices were the best I could find anywhere, including TireRack landed, Canadian prices. The service is prompt, professional at a reasonable price. They torque each wheel nut and reset the TPMS. Cannot ask for better.
Michael Keshen
20:21 27 Mar 18
Very efficient and professional. They showed up at my home within the promised time window, changed my tires in about 15 minutes and were on their way. I hired them after they were recommended to me and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them myself.

Can't recommend this company enough. Excellent serivce, super responsive and the pricing was on par with Costco which is my normal go-to. But Tire Butler is minus the hassle and headache of long ordering times and appointment bookings. Plus the tires I ordered were better than the versions you would get at Costco.The guys in the truck were service oriented and friendly. This a great idea and is executing flawlessly. Well done, you've got a customer for life here.

I just used Tire Butler for the first time and I loved it!! I called this morning and within a couple of hours Tire Butler was at my door ready to help me! They were very concerned that the job be done immediately since I have a young child and they didn't want me driving around with unsafe wheels. The mechanic (Dino) was very sweet and was happy to answer all my questions. I will definitely be using Tire Butler again - it was fast, convienent and affordable! Thank you Tire Butler :)

This is my first time using Tired Butler and my last time. I was quoted $141.25, ended up paying $226. That is an extra $84.75 because my wheels were off rim, what ever that means. Don't you have to take the wheel off the rim to put the wheel back on the rim? Yes it was convenient to change my tires in my driveway but I don't like being charge more money than they actually said it was gonna cost. My money is my time. All I can say is that I tried it but I would warn people of extra costs.

I just had Tire Butler put winter tires on my wife's car. Firstly, they came in $400 less than the lowest quote I received, from other tire shops, for the same tires. They also had a greater selection of options. Tech arrived on time and time was very professional.

Top Drawer Service!!! Their Service Tech Joe came to my home, on time, and did an incredibly thorough and professional job. This was my first time using their service, but, I will DEFINITELY be using their service again. Their prices are better than my dealership, they store the tires for less than almost another place I would trust, and they have tire prices that are competitive with Costco and out of town dealers! One of the best new business finds for me in a couple of years!! I would, without exaggeration, recommend them to everyone!!!

Tire Butler is absolutely amazing! They provide excellent customer service. I recently used Tire Butler for purchase and installation of my winter tires and for storage of my summer tires. I was very happy with the service they provided. Even more amazing- the service they provided for my flat tire. After driving over a road work screw with my new winter tires, one of my tires went flat. Tire butler arrived quickly and assessed the situation. They took off my tire, took it for repair, and reinstalled the fixed one all within an hour! All of the staff are very friendly, efficient, and provide great customer service. I am super impressed, thankful and appreciative for all of Tire Butlers services and assistance. I would recommend them to everyone! Thanks so much again!

Due to the construction on Eglinton, one of my tires got a tear in the side, rendering it useless. I called Tire Butler early this morning and Josh got me sorted right away. Their van arrived 30 minutes earlier than expected and their tech did great work. Definitely would recommend this shop, and will use them again in the future if I have to (knock on wood, but it's Toronto, something is gonna break again!)

First off, how refreshing is it to have the company arrive early? So used to companies being at least half an hour late. Secondly, the employee was extremely friendly, professional and quick to change my tires. He even went to help a neighbour after with her questions. Price was better than mechanic nearby and I didn't have to leave the house. Went above and beyond and rewrapped my old tires for storage. Will use seasonally.

TireButler is amazing! Changed my life. No more do I have to put the tires in my car, drive to the shop, wait for hours, then put the tires back in my car and drive home. Time is money so this service is worth every penny! The staff are always kind and helpful and would recommend anyone that has never used them to give them a try. Once you try it you will never go back to the old way of swapping tires.

Patrick Fahn
18:12 04 Nov 19
Very poor customer service (actually no service whatsoever).I submitted a request online and never heard back from anyone. When I called the office, it seems like every call is directed to this Josh guy who never answers the phone (I called numerous times) and he doesn't have voicemail set up. His outgoing message says everything can be booked online which isn't true. I needed rim repair and the available services shown on the booking page are tire change and tire storage.I really don't think they want any customers ... when customers want to reach them, they seem to do everything they could so one can't.

Had a tire puncture last night and really need the car this week. Was looking for a convenient fix that limited me having to drive as they are run flats and don't come with a spare. Was really hopeful given all the great reviews but it seems it comes at the price of availability.Can't get a hold of them over the phone after calling 5-6 times over the course of about 20 minutes, their line just keeps going straight to beeping? Maybe a service issue with Fido or need more call lines.I tried to use their website and the results weren't much better. Their website is rough to use at times (but not horrible) and their availability dates are basically nil (next available appoint is OVER a month from now (Dec 13th, 4th of November today). All in all I don't mind the lack of availability but not even being able to get in contact is frustrating.

Tire Butler has been a GAME CHANGER for my husband and I. We drive a Mini Cooper and live in a condo, so we don't have any room to lug around our winter tires get them changed or even store them ourselves in the summer. We opted for their change and storage package and it's been working well for us! If I could give them an extra star for epic customer service, I would. My schedule is all over the place between work and travelling, but their team has been super accommodating to my crazy time restraints.

Tire Butler should not be confused with a dozen other companies with similar names - and it is easy to do. They all share a similar "brand" but there is a market leader - and Tire Butler is that leader. One critical standout of Tire Butler is their software that drives customer management - as the owner explained to me. It is easy to buy a couple of trucks and send out a few strong hands. But really you are a logistics company as he said. It can never be perfect and the impact of real time traffic circumstances is challenging. But my experience with Tire Butler is that they are the best in the business. They use software that time manages appointments so you can be sure nobody could have done it better in spite of Toronto's insane traffic conditions and their trucks are jammed with the latest tire equipment. We have two cars that have been managed by Tire Butler for three years and this is my first review - which I want to share because I understand that they are more than a fleet of equipped trucks, more than a state of the art logistics software and more than a well trained team - they offer a service you just can't beat on your own. I personally think they are underpriced. The cost of going anywhere in this city (certainly in terms of time) is freaking crazy now - and the idea they come to you, they do a professional job where ever YOU are - and do it as well equipped as they are... I totally 100% recommend.

Great Service! I ordered new winter tires, and had Tire Butler put them on my car and take my other tires for storage. The sales department was amazing, and gave me a better price than another company I received a quote from. They arrived EARLY and were super nice and friendly. I am so happy with my experience and will use their service 100% in the future.

I have to say I am overwhelmingly impressed with the service I received from Tire Butler. After discovering a flat tire when going to leave for work this morning, I called Tire Butler and they were able to get a tech out to me in a matter of only a few hours. The tech, whose name escapes me, was friendly and did an excellent job locating and plugging the leak in my tire. I would recommend this service to any I know. Thank you Tire Butler for making this situation so stress-free.

To her amazement, seeing them recover at an extraordinary rate, Royo was mind boggled. Natural regeneration was one thing but from pale eerie skin to healthy as never been ill, blurred version to crystal clear. Upon top of all the regen, to which left her baffle in awe, talk of "Mana" confused her. Mana? As in the video games? Couldn't be real but to much to her disbelief, after the joining of hands and channeling of energy, she did... well feel different.
So she had some form of energy to which she could heal other. Interesting. Though it seemed like no one needed a healing touch, a shame really. A new found ability, so she thought, and no one else to use it on. Perhaps regen on herself would do something but alas she wasn't in dire need of healing, a few scratches and bruises. Nothing of significance. She gave a hefty sigh. It was a little saddening. Royo looked towards Miss Hallow in her attempts to keep everyone on the boat. Getting wet isn't that bad. Quite refreshing. Staying on the boat seemed futile, considering help from above isn't too far away. Yet she had an urge to go save them well help them out at least.
Swimming over and trying to steady the boat didn't seem like a good idea. She would be helping them into the water instead of keeping dry and above.Then it hit her, could of been waves flicking water at the back of her, what if she could apply this new found energy somewhere else, somewhere were standing on water is possible or close to it. Sounds ridiculous but given this wonderland of an island and impressive show of regen. Royo was willing to go out on a limb. Taking a deep breath, closing her eyes and focus. Focusing on creating small air pockets. Not entirely what she was feeling, felt odd to say the least, but it lead to the junction of is it working or not? focusing around one hand placed on the water's surface. Her arm felt as she was pushing against soft earth.
With the other hand firmly against the surface, Royo lifted herself up. It couldn't been hidden, she was shocked. Lifting herself out of the water? Never have the thought occurred and to her surprise, the firm placed hands became deep in water and her face smacked against it. 'What a blunder.' She mummered in the depths. Perhaps this was a sign? Not to defy water?
This small blunder wasn't going to stop her, say one for Royo she doesn't give up easily. Once again she tried, this time with more success. Up and out though not as impressive as one would've seen, a woman crawling across the surface, hands and knees just very little contact on the water. Occasionally a hand, a knee or two would sink, focusing to stay above was taxing on the mind along with body. With practice she would be running across water like earth. But for now, crawling on all fours would do. 'Cripple guy, David, Grunt best head towards the boat. Wouldn't a rogue wave carrying you guys away.' she grunted at them under her deep breaths..
OOC: Hope this is reasonable and sound.

Urge your members of Congress to support continued medical research funding
Blood clotting, or coagulation, is an important process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. Platelets (a type of blood cell) and proteins in your plasma (the liquid part of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury. Typically, your body will naturally dissolve the blood clot after the injury has healed. Sometimes, however, clots form on the inside of vessels without an obvious injury or do not dissolve naturally. These situations can be dangerous and require accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Clots can occur in veins or arteries, which are vessels that are part of the body's circulatory system. While both types of vessels help transport blood throughout the body, they each function differently. Veins are low-pressure vessels that carry deoxygenated blood away from the body's organs and back to the heart. An abnormal clot that forms in a vein may restrict the return of blood to the heart and can result in pain and swelling as the blood gathers behind the clot. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a type of clot that forms in a major vein of the leg or, less commonly, in the arms, pelvis, or other large veins in the body. In some cases, a clot in a vein may detach from its point of origin and travel through the heart to the lungs where it becomes wedged, preventing adequate blood flow. This is called a pulmonary (lung) embolism (PE) and can be extremely dangerous.
It is estimated that each year DVT affects as many as 900,0001 people in the United States and kills up to 100,000.2 Despite the prevalence of this condition, the public is largely unaware of the risk factors and symptoms of DVT/PE. Do you understand your risk? Check out ASH's five common myths about DVT.
Arteries, on the other hand, are muscular, high-pressure vessels that carry oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. When your doctor measures your blood pressure, the test results are an indicator of the pressure in your arteries. Clotting that occurs in arteries is usually associated with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), a deposit of plaque that narrows the inside of the vessel. As the arterial passage narrows, the strong arterial muscles continue to force blood through the opening, and the high pressure can cause the plaque to rupture. Molecules released in the rupture cause the body to overreact and form an unnecessary clot in the artery, potentially leading to a heart attack or stroke. When the blood supply to the heart or brain is completely blocked by the clot, a part of these organs can be damaged as a result of being deprived of blood and its nutrients.
The risk factors for developing a venous clot are different from those for an arterial clot, and people at risk for getting one are not necessarily at risk for getting the other. Different risk factors or events can cause unnatural clotting; however, each factor may initiate clotting in a different way. There are molecules in your system that signal your body to let it know when, where, and how quickly to form a clot, and genetics plays a role in how quickly your body reacts to these signals. Certain risk factors, such as obesity, slow the flow of blood in the veins, while others, such as age, can increase the body's natural ability to clot. Even certain medications can affect how quickly your blood clots.
The following factors increase your risk of developing a blood clot:
In addition to knowing your risk factors, it is also important to be aware of the symptoms of blood clots, which vary depending upon where the clot is located:
Blood clots are treated differently depending on the location of the clot and your health. If you are experiencing symptoms and suspect you may have a blood clot, see a doctor immediately.
There have been many research advances that have improved the prevention and treatment of blood clots. Some current treatments include:
If you are diagnosed with a venous clot, your doctor may refer you to a hematologist, a doctor who specializes in treating blood diseases. People diagnosed with arterial disease who are at risk for developing a clot in their arteries may have several doctors involved in their care, including a cardiologist (a doctor who specializes in conditions of the heart), a neurologist, and possibly a hematologist.
For some patients, participating in a clinical trial provides access to novel therapies. If diagnosed, you can talk with your doctor about whether joining a clinical trial is right for you.
If you find that you are interested in learning more about blood diseases and disorders, here are a few other resources that may be of some help:

World Peace and Other 4th Grade Achievements
World Peace and Other 4th Grade Achievements Previous Broadcasts
KQED World: Sun, Dec 8, 2013 -- 1:00 PM
This program interweaves the story of a remarkable educator and the extraordinary game he developed to demonstrate the complexities of peace and global conflict. Teacher John Hunter's World Peace Game is a hands-on political simulation exercise in which students tackle real-world military, economic and environmental issues. The 9- and 10-year-olds divide into groups, including nation states, the World Bank, United Nations officials, indigenous peoples and even arms dealers. Then, they face daily challenges ranging from insurgencies and global warming to ethnic tensions and natural disasters. Working together, while also balancing the interests of their own "nations," they attempt to achieve global prosperity with the least amount of military intervention. As fun and engaging as the game it profiles, this documentary provides an inspirational look at the lasting impact of one wise and caring teacher on his students and, potentially, the world.

California's 'Regulate Marijuana Like Wine' Campaign Collects Over 10,000 Signatures In First Two Weeks
Regulate Marijuana Like Wine campaign collects over 10,000 signatures in first two weeks
Last week the campaign chairman for a new voter initiative to regulate marijuana like wine predicted his group would collect over 10,000 signatures -- in their first two weeks -- or he would resign. Today is the deadline for their campaign to make good on it's promise. True to their word, the Regulate Marijuana Like Wine campaign is releasing documentation to show that they have met their goal. Furthermore, the campaign is releasing the results of an independent poll of professional initiative petitioners that shows overwhelming support by voters for the RMLW Act of 2012.
Here's the report from Angelo Paparella, CEO of PCI Consultants:
"PCI Consultants, Inc. has collected over 47 million signatures, qualifying 250 plus measures across the country, and we have provided analysis for measures over the past 20 years.
This past week we put the new Regulate Marijuana Like Wine petition in play with five of our primary coordinators statewide. They in turn distributed it out to approximately 150-?165 or so circulators throughout California. At the time of this report (Sunday evening 11/13) we've amassed 10,421 signatures in six days. Approximately 7,000 of these signatures have been validated to date and we are running at 75.3% valid rate thus far.
We did a simple categorization of responses by having petition circulators ask the public to grade the petition on an A, B, C basis whereby A was the best grade — meaning the petition was of great importance as a topic that deserved a statewide vote -? on down to C as the lowest. Note that in the past the only petitions to get an "A" rating have been the slam?dunk issues at the ballot, such as increasing the minimum wage or support local governments or medical marijuana when it first came out.
About 75% of the circulators said the public rated the petition as an "A". About 20% rated the petition a B — either the Marijuana petition was duly deserving, but other matters like resolving California's pension system were probably more urgent. The other 5% fell into the indifference C category, "I signed to help you make your rent, buddy." Those 5% are typical of any petition drive, people signing just "because" with no affinity for the issue.
One interesting response that we did not anticipate and we heard numerous times, especially from the better educated (and therefore the most likely voters), is the "medical dispensaries are such a mess, LETS JUST LEGALIZE IT AND BE DONE." Other responses were quick and to the point, "yeah, its time" or "let's collect taxes on marijuana sales".
My reading of the notes from the 5 statewide coordinators is that a Marijuana petition would probably be a stopper (an issue the public goes out if its way to sign) — a lead issue amongst a majority of circulators. That is typically a really good sign for success at the ballot."
Also, the RMLW has a report from their Statewide Volunteer Field Coordinator:
"In our experience, drawing someone to the table is as easy as asking, "Will you help us legalize marijuana this year?" The simple question stops people in their tracks and the signature is usually as easy as asking what county they are registered to vote in. Several paid petitioners have asked to use our petition as a leader for the death penalty one they were circulating. It was a much easier draw for them. Public opinion in this state seems to expect legalization as a given, they seem tired of the complications. Most signers do not have questions until after they sign. When they want details it seems like what they really want is talking points."
Apparently, paid petitioners are asking to carry this petition for free, just because RMLW is such a powerful magnet for drawing voters to come and sign our petition, so that these petitioners can then get signatures on their paid petitions.
These results are in complete agreement with the latest Gallup Poll, which confirms a major shift with a record-high 50% of Americans who now say the use of marijuana should be made legal, up from 46% last year. That same poll shows a stunning 55% favoring legalization in the West.
The November 2012 Presidential Election affords proponents of a ballot initiative to change state law concerning the regulation of marijuana a strong opportunity for success. The most significant consideration is that the California electorate for the next Presidential Election will be considerably younger. Detailed analysis indicates that 21 percent of all voters will be under the age of 35, compared to just 16 percent in the November 2010 election. Also, in November 2010, 27 percent of voters were ages 65 and older but in November 2012 seniors are expected to comprise 20 percent of the electorate. As the table below shows, the composition of the electorate will be more advantageous for a legalization initiative, as a greater share of the electorate will be under the age of 40.
According to a spokesman for the campaign, "The universal popularity of our Regulate Marijuana Like Wine measure should not come as a surprise. After all, we created our initiative based upon the Economist/YouGov nationwide poll, which found that 58 percent agreed with the following statement, "Some people say marijuana should be treated like alcohol and tobacco. They say it should be regulated and taxed and made illegal for minors." In addition, 62 percent of western region respondents agreed with this statement-the highest of any region in the nation. Modeling our voter initiative after these important metrics has paid off and now there is every indication that this measure can go all the way."

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) Josh Hagins scored 14 points and dished out six assists to lead Arkansas-Little Rock to a 59-54 win over Western Kentucky on Saturday night.
Leroy Isler scored 10 points for the Trojans (12-9, 6-4 Sun Belt Conference), who beat Western Kentucky for the second time this season. Arkansas-Little Rock won 75-67 against the Hilltoppers earlier this month.
The Trojans trailed 38-37 when Western Kentucky's George Fant made a free throw with 11:33 left in the second half. But Arkansas-Little Rock regained the lead by going on a 6-0 lead to claim a 43-38 advantage with 9:26 left to play.
Western Kentucky cut the deficit to two points on a few occasions, but was unable to pull ahead.
Brandon Harris finished with 22 points and eight rebounds for the Hilltoppers (11-9, 5-4), who have lost four of their last five games. Fant had 13 points and seven rebounds.

There are many reasons to hate DirecTV. They have complete control of the NFL's Sunday Ticket package. They tell you their satellite signal never goes out in the rain when IT TOTALLY DOES, WHICH MAKES THEM LYING LIARS. And they discriminate against all customers who do not have a clear view of the southern sky. They're directionist!
To that list of sins, you can now add the company's use of the late Chris Farley to help shill their wares, a move that has sparked no shortage of hostility from the blog world.
Even before the Farley spot, this DirecTV ad campaign was in poor taste, extrapolating scenes from famous movies (most notably "Aliens") and then having the film's characters speak directly to the camera to tell you why you should buy DirecTV.
U.S. & World
It was a crass, obnoxious way to sell a product, and it made everyone who volunteered to participate look shameless. But with the "Tommy Boy" spot, the campaign has clearly crashed through the basement floor and blazed straight down into a heretofore unknown level of the ad underworld.
It's weird enough to have Farley in the spot, but then to have David Spade (who will do anything for money provided he doesn't have to exert any effort of any kind) sitting there, ripping on him, is even weirder. "Great, I'm here with tons of fun when I could be at home watching DirecTV… But no, I'm stuck here with either cable… or THAT."
Indeed, Spade could be at home with DirecTV. Instead, he's with the ghost of his famous friend, who died as a result of a drug problem that almost certainly stemmed from massive insecurities, and making a (bad) fat joke about him. HILARIOUS!
Well, fans of the late comedian aren't exactly thrilled with this news. A simple search of the Twitterverse offers an example of the standard reaction to the spot:
The Farley-Spade DirecTV commercial creeps me out…
Just remember, life could be worse - you could be David Spade abusing the memory of your dead buddy Chris Farley in a DirecTV ad.
Whoever came up with the Chris Farley/David Spade DirecTV commercial should be strapped to a rocket and fired into the sun...
shame David Spade can't be in a DirecTV commercial without having to digitally reanimate Chris Farley's corpse. Why not just play Joe Dirt?…
seriously, that directv chris farley ad is not cool
And those are the people who didn't even swear. Hey DirecTV, I have an idea for you: instead of spending what I presume would be tons of money to let Farley's estate dig up his corpse, you spend THAT money instead on making sure the receiver I bought from you doesn't take 7 years to reboot when I blow a fuse.

I'm pleased to inform, Today I passed the PMI-ACP exam. I'm so excited and relieved that it's done, Now I can reclaim my family life
Had real nerve-wracking moments during the exam.
Honestly speaking first 10 minutes into it, I had 4 out of the first 10 questions marked.
It was quite terrible moment but just I keep myself optimistic and with this courage I move forward and attempt all the questions in 2 hours and 30 mins.
So, last 30 mins I just reviewed the marked questions.
Exam mainly focused on different roles of Scrum, XP & practices Lean and Kanban. None of the other methodologies/frameworks found in my exam.
About more than 50% of the questions had Scrum, XP and Lean mentioned on them. Few were on Kanban, Agile values, principles and very few questions on story estimation.
Didn't see any question about calculations PV, NPV etc.
The 3 hours of allotted time is more than sufficient. Anybody who has taken the exam would tell you the same thing.
Thank you Izenbrdige (Saket and Seema) without you support it was not possible…
My preparation Journey start from Izenbridge and end on same
Reviewed Saket videos couple of times, read notes, attempted full length all 4 exams and follow & posted my concerns on Izenbrdige PM ACP exam preparation Forum. That's all…..
Thank your Saket and team for your brilliant support during my ACP journey.

How to check your Ubuntu Version

|Linux-based VPS or dedicated servers
Here is a quick tutorial on how to check your Ubuntu version.
Open a terminal window and enter the following from the command line to obtain version information on Ubuntu:
The -a option provides all of the information available to lsb_release. (Triva fact: "lsb" stands for "Linux Standard Base".)
The distributor ID shows that the operating system is Ubuntu. The complete description for this example is "Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS". The version number is 14.04.1, meaning that it was the first version that was released in October, 2014. The "LTS" designator indicates that this version is eligible for long-term support, so it will be officially supported for the next five years. The code name for this version of Ubuntu is "trusty," which is short for the official code name Trusty Tahr.
