Comparison of waist circumference percentiles versus body mass index percentiles for diagnosis of excessive fatness in a large cohort of children
Reilly, John J and Dorosty, A.R and Ghomazideh, N.M. and Emmett, P.M. and Steer, C. and Wells, J.C. and Ness, AR (2010) Comparison of waist circumference percentiles versus body mass index percentiles for diagnosis of excessive fatness in a large cohort of children. International Journal of Pediatric Obesity, 5 (2). pp. 151-156. ISSN 1747-7166

Context. Waist circumference may offer improved diagnosis of obesity in youth compared with body mass index (BMI), but empirical evidence is limited. Objective. To compare the ability of BMI percentile using UK reference data and waist circumference percentile using UK reference data to diagnose high fat mass in English children. Design and Methods. In 7 722 9–10-year-olds (3 809 boys, 3 913 girls) sensitivity and specificity were calculated and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analyses undertaken to determine the diagnostic accuracy of BMI and waist circumference z-scores to define high fat mass measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). High fat mass was defined as being in the top decile of fatness for each sex (359 boys and 367 girls). Results. The area under the ROC curve was slightly higher for BMI percentile (0.92 in boys, 95% CI: 0.91 –0.93; 0.94 in girls, 95% CI: 0.93–0.95) than waist circumference percentile (0.89 in boys, 95% CI: 0.86–0.91; 0.81 in girls, 95% CI: 0.73–0.90). Specificity of BMI percentile was slightly but significantly higher than that of waist circumference percentile for both sexes (p<0.05 in each case). Conclusions. The present study suggests that waist circumference percentile has no advantage over BMI percentile for the diagnosis of high fat mass in children.

Lensational: Tamron's New 16-300mm is Simply Amazing
Tamron's new 16-300mm zoom is about the same size as a can of cranberry sauce (same diameter and a full one inch shorter) but it covers the entire range from 24mm professional wideangle to 450mm super-telephoto. It has Vibration Compensation to eliminate the shakes and improve handheld sharpness, and genuine Macro focusing (as close a smidge over 15-inches). The full name is Tamron 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO (Model B016) and it will be hitting camera store shelves in time for summer.
The cutting-edge lens design consists of 16 elements in 12 groups and includes three Molded-Glass Aspherical elements, two LD (Low Dispersion) elements and UXR (Ultra-Extra Refractive Index) glass. The unit construction is moisture-resistant and the lens barrel sports a fresh-looking rectilinear grid pattern grip.
I've been shooting with it for about two weeks now, with three different Nikon crop-frame DSLRs, including a D5000 that's been modified for 720nm Infrared use. It's very sharp and the close-focusing is amazing. It's surprising how useful it is to have a genuine 24mm wideangle on the short end. It's going to be tough to go back to shooting weaker lenses.

Priam (pronounced: /ˈpraɪ.əm/; Greek Πρίαμος Príamos, pronounced: /prí.amos/) was the king of Troy during the Trojan War and youngest son of Laomedon. Modern scholars derive his name from the Luwian compound Priya-muwa-, which means "exceptionally courageous".[1][2]
Marriage and issue
Priam had many wives; his first was Arisbe, who had given birth to his son Aesacus, who met his death before the Trojan War. Priam later divorced her in favor of Hecuba (or Hecebe), daughter of the Phrygian king Dymas. By his various wives and concubines Priam was the father of fifty sons and many daughters. Hector was Priam's eldest son by Hecuba, and heir to the Trojan throne. Paris (also known as Alexander), another son, was the cause of the Trojan War. Other children of Priam and Hecuba include the prophetic Helenus and Cassandra; eldest daughter Ilione; Deiphobus; Troilus; Polites; Creusa, wife of Aeneas; Laodice, wife of Helicaon; Polyxena, who was slaughtered on the grave of Achilles; and Polydorus, his youngest son.
Priam was originally called Podarces and he kept himself from being killed by Heracles by giving him a golden veil embroidered by his sister, Hesione. After this, Podarces changed his name to Priam. This is an etymology based on priatos "ransomed"; this derives from Greek verb "priamai", meaning to buy. His Greek name explains why among the trojan allies the Trojan themselves were the ones that communicated with Acheans without any issue, while Trojans themselves could not directly communicate with their allies. When Hector is killed by Achilles, the Greek warrior treats the body with disrespect and refuses to give it back. Zeus sends the god Hermes to escort King Priam, Hector's father and the ruler of Troy, into the Greek camp. Priam tearfully pleads with Achilles to take pity on a father bereft of his son and return Hector's body. He invokes the memory of Achilles' own father, Peleus. Priam begs Achilles to pity him, saying "I have endured what no one on earth has ever done before — I put my lips to the hands of the man who killed my son."[3] Deeply moved, Achilles relents and returns Hector's corpse to the Trojans. Both sides agree to a temporary truce, and Achilles gives Priam leave to hold a proper funeral for Hector, complete with funeral games. He promises that no Greek will engage in combat for 11 days, but on the 12th day of peace, the mighty war between the Greeks and the Trojans would resume.
Priam is killed during the Sack of Troy by Achilles' son Neoptolemus (also known as Pyrrhus). His death is graphically related in Book II of Virgil's Aeneid. In Virgil's description, Neoptolemus first kills Priam's son Polites in front of his father as he seeks sanctuary on the altar of Zeus. Priam rebukes Neoptolemus, throwing a spear at him, harmlessly hitting his shield. Neoptolemus then drags Priam to the altar and there kills him too.
It has been suggested by Hittite sources, specifically the Manapa-Tarhunta letter, that there is historical basis for the archetype of King Priam. The letter describes one Piyama-Radu as a troublesome rebel who overthrew a Hittite client king and thereafter established his own rule over the city of Troy (mentioned as Wilusa in Hittite). There is also mention of an Alaksandu, suggested to be Paris Alexander (King Priam's son from the Iliad), a later ruler of the city of Wilusa who established peace between Wilusa and Hatti.

Hmmm. I think that would be a disappointment. Pears are marginally OK. It's the juice down the arm and the grainier than apples texture I don't like.
ReplyDeleteI'm familiar with these, they are also called Ya pears. There is also a crunchy brown variety, the name of which escapes me right now.
ReplyDeleteI love pears...and yours sounded sweet and juicy! I'll have to try these...I've seen them but never bought them! Someone gave us a huge box of pears this weekend. I am going to have to figure out some recipes to use them up...I'm sure they will all ripen together! Uh oh! haha.
ReplyDeleteWe've had here for decades a fruit called Asian pear which tastes like a pear but has the crisp crunch of an apple. I occasionally buy them when I can get organic ones. I use pears in my juicing so just bought a bag of bartlett pears to use for that.

Tagged: propulsion, Template Builder
December 20, 2012 at 11:56 am #18905
I'm building a page using the template builder which has always worked fine – Now all of a sudden it is not "self-organising" any more, so when I drag and drop the elements into the order I want, and save the changes, it just leaves the new elements at the bottom of the page. http://oliviera.com/restaurant/
To add a complication, the website is bilingual, and the template builder has no problems on the french version of the page: http://oliviera.com/fr/restaurant/
They've both worked fine n the past, even after the site went bilingual.
I'm stumped as to what is happening here. Any leads?
Thank you!
December 20, 2012 at 7:28 pm #101324Hi liveo,
Have you done any recent updates or changes? Any new plugins or any plugins that have gotten updates?
January 7, 2013 at 11:30 am #101325Hi Devin,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
A few plugins got upgraded during the holidays – but I strongly believe it was just WordPress that was updated to 3.5 before this problem happened.
However, since last week we have also updated
– Woo-commerce
And have an additional problem, the duplication of page content (I see there is a thread here http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-product-descriptions for that)
You can see an example on the following pages:
Should I treat these problems separately or should they be resolved together?
Thank you!
January 7, 2013 at 11:54 am #101326Hey!
Did you try Nick's solution: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/duplicate-product-descriptions#post-89254 ?
Best regards,
January 7, 2013 at 12:54 pm #101327Thanks Dude, worked great for the products!
However, I have the same problem with the portfolio – http://oliviera.com/recipe/aubergine-oliviera-2/
Could you tell me what to change for that please ?
I'm also still having problems with the original issue of the template builder for the restaurant page which is not self-organising: http://oliviera.com/restaurant/
This is strange as it works on the french page – http://oliviera.com/fr/restaurant/
Many thanks
January 8, 2013 at 4:14 pm #101328Hi,
Would you please set me up with a temp admin login/pw in order to get you back on track as quick as possible. My email is usjahm at gmail dot com.
January 10, 2013 at 9:28 am #101329Thank you Nick,
just created the admin for you. I'm on standby if you need anything –
January 10, 2013 at 12:06 pm #101330Hi,
Had a minor malfunction. Your site ran out of memory. You need to log in using ftp, and delete the first line in your htaccess file which is at the base of your theme next to wp-config.php.
php_value memory_limit 128M ;
Sorry , looked like php was running as a module. But you need to ask your host to boost your alocated memory
Try adding the following line to wp-config.php file at the base of wordpress
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
Once you have that done. You need to read this post where i have the fix to portfolio posted http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/ (Purchase code hidden if logged out) -section#post-90888
Sorry again. Hosts cheap with memory are a menace,
January 10, 2013 at 2:46 pm #101331Hi Nick – the site is down – should I be worried? No one on this end is working on it.
January 10, 2013 at 2:50 pm #101332Ok getting the webmaster on it ASAP – Strange as we are hosted by Media Temple – is it something on their end?
Thank you, will let you know how it goes.
January 10, 2013 at 4:56 pm #101333Hi Maia,
Are you on a Grid server with MT? It doesn't look like they have any cluster issues reported at the moment but it could just be a short term issue.
January 10, 2013 at 5:02 pm #101334Hi,
Yeh, Media Temple I heard good things about. The screw up was mine. I tried to raise your memory allocation and I shouldn't have done that without having ftp information at hand. But your food distracted me also. :)
That second issue about self organization, I am unable to replicate. My only idea is that the browser you are using is at fault somehow, since 100% of the time , the order I save the individual items is the same order they remain in even after logging off.
Thanks, nick

Jumbo 5/1 ARM vs. 30 Year Fixed
Notice how the difference in interest rates is narrowing. Hopefully, the allure of these Adjustable Rate mortgage Loans will wane.
3 comments:

Higher rate is not necessary to burst the bubble. However, I do welcome more rate hikes.
I thought 5/1 ARM is passe. Everybody is using Option ARM now. - AnonymousAugust 04, 2005 5:20 PM
I know this is a it off topic but none of the blogs have mention the reintroduction of the 30 year T-bill. While this wasn't a secret it does spell that the goverment want to finance its hugh war debt with the longer term. I truly beliveve that they ressurected this bond to drag the 10 year out of it's "conundrum" position. I also believe that this is a calculated effort to deflate the bubble and maybe encourage savings. I have read other blogs that state that savings by US citizens would only add to a "world Glut " of savings. I disagree.. China, Japan etc have excess $$$ because of our excess consumption for there cheap products...I think we our priming our economy for a correction that few can remember..ie 1980's type of recession.. 30 % percent of the population simply can't remember this type of economic downturn...

The Art Room and Columbia Threadneedle Foundation Partnership with Work It! At Selfridges: Re-Work It: Chairs for The Art Room; Pop-up Art Room and a Window
The Art Room, in partnership with the Columbia Threadneedle Foundation, is joining forces with Selfridges' Work It, a campaign launching on 30 April 2015 designed to highlight how the way we work is changing and how craftsmanship embraces new technologies. Three exciting in-store projects for The Art Room will profile and celebrate the work of this leading charity. For six weeks, The Art Room will have a major presence in Selfridges: an installation of chairs transformed by artists, designers and architects, suspended in the main Atrium space; a pop-up Art Room in the Ultralounge space; and a window on Duke Street co-curated by Art Room students and directly inspired by their own work. The project will raise funds for the work of The Art Room and is supported by long-term partner, the Columbia Threadneedle Foundation.

Re-Work It: Chairs for The Art Room
The chairs will be cascading through the Selfridges' Atrium in an installation entitled Re-work It produced and curated by Fair & Co. The installation, consisting of different transformations of the Ernest Race BA2 chair will expand in size as more and more of the chairs are added to it over the duration of the project. From 22 May they will be auctioned in aid of The Art Room through online auctioneers Paddle8, culminating in a live auction event at Selfridges on 9 June 2015. www.paddle8.com/auction/TheArtRoom
Pop-Up Art Room in Selfridges
Ultralounge (Ultra Hub) Lower Ground Floor, Selfridges
From 30 April 2015 an Art Room studio will be set up in the Ultralounge space on the store's lower ground floor. There will be sofas where pupils can relax and talk, tables where art projects are created and a communal area for sharing food. For the duration of the project, the Art Room studio will host sessions with groups of children from local schools and other institutions, partner organisations and businesses interested in team building, as well as groups of members of the public booking through Selfridges. In a programme of workshops they will work with our trained practitioners to transform everyday items such as chairs, lampshades, trays, aprons and clocks, as an introduction to the sense of empowerment found through transforming ordinary objects into something individual and creative which is experienced by all students of The Art Room.
Participate in a workshop

Duke Street Window Inspired by Children of The Art Room
To celebrate the Selfridges' spring campaign children of The Art Room at Northolt High School will be working with Selfridges' creative team to inspire a window, translating the students' idea of 'what is the World's greatest job?' into a unique window display.
The Art Room uses art as therapy to unlock the inherent potential of society's most vulnerable children. Aged from 5-16, they are referred to one of our Art Rooms because the challenges they face make it difficult for them to engage with learning and the school environment, and can mean they are often at risk of exclusion. In The Art Room they work with specially trained practitioners to develop their self-confidence, personal and social skills.
Fair & Co is an arts consultancy founded by Flora Fairbairn and Julia Fairrie in 2014. Operating as a network of creative specialists; architects, artists and designer-makers, Fair & Co source and commission unique and visionary talents for a diverse range of clients.
Columbia Threadneedle Foundation is the main partner for the atrium installation Re-Work It!
Columbia Threadneedle Foundation aims to grow Columbia Threadneedle Investments commitment to investing in the community, building partnerships that create positive social impact across a range of sectors, with a particular focus on using education, art and sport to engender lasting social change.
Paddle8 is the auction house for the 21st-century collector. Described by the Wall Street Journal as 'A virtual auction house with a permanent philanthropic bent' their global presence will provide unprecedented exposure for The Art Room's Chairs for The Art Room.

Amber Heard: I'm GLAAD to Be Gay!
Amber Heard has announced to the public that she is in fact gay (lesbian).
Friday night at the 25th Anniversary Party of The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), actress Amber Heard made her entrance on the red carpet besides another woman.
Some questioned if this woman was a tag-a-long, supporting the cause. That was until the 24-year-old star (Amber Heard) revealed that the woman Tasya van Ree was in fact her lesbian partner.
What better place to come out the closet than at a Gay and Lesbian shindig. Amber looked beautiful in her red dress while her partner wore all black.
Amber Heard gave an interview to AFTERELLEN.com and at one point states that "GLADD was one of the reasons that she was able to come out." She goes on to say, "I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something you're inadvertently admitting it's wrong. I don't feel like I'm wrong."
Amber Heard's partner Tasya van Ree is a professional photographer based out of Los Angeles. I've viewed some of Tasya's photographs online, it's filled with passion, intimacy, and dark at times and wonder.
I'm sure I can take a guess who she loves photographing the best.
Actress/model Amber Heard is set to play actor Johnny Depp's love interest in "The Rum Diary" and will also appear along side Nicolas Cage in the movie "Drive Angry". Both films are set to be released in 2011.

Mr. Basketball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the award. For the American professional basketball player, see George Mikan. For the Israeli professional basketball player, see Tal Brody.
Mr. Basketball is an unofficial award given to the person chosen as the best high school boys basketball player in a specific U.S. state, region, or metropolitan area. Conversely, the title Miss Basketball is used for the most talented female basketball player. The honor is usually awarded by the state or region's largest newspaper by the high school sports division of their sports department, and usually solidifies their position as the most recruited player by universities to play college basketball.

New Times / NewsThe following articles were printed from New Times [newtimesslo.com] - Volume 24, Issue 30
Our own faultBy MATT FOUNTAIN
What is the risk? Though still in the early stages, studies of the newly discovered seismic fault off the Central Coast—known informally as the Shoreline Fault by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E)—are beginning to reveal its geology and proximity to the plant in Avila Beach. Nothing so far discovered worries regulatory officials or PG&E brass but scientists emphasize the data are preliminary. The U.S. Geological Survey has yet to publish any information about the Shoreline Fault, or even list it on the agency's website as a known seismic feature. A scientific journal article recently written by USGS geophysicist Jeanne Hardebeck will be the first independent publication to formally define the rift. According to Hardebeck, the article is undergoing peer review and will likely reach print in June. In a June 2009 report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the PG&E geosciences department outlined its preliminary findings. The fault was discovered in late 2008, the result of a PG&E-USGS cooperative research agreement. Tom Brocher, the USGS geologist who lead the team that discovered the fault, told New Times it was discovered through analysis of a cluster of small earthquakes that occurred off the Central Coast since 1987. "We started by plotting locations of these historical events along the Hosgri fault, but then this linear trend of quakes popped out that we hadn't seen before," Brocher said, adding that these were seismic episodes in the 2-3 magnitude range, small enough to escape notice by residents and avoid posing a threat to safety. According to the latest PG&E information, which Brocher confirmed, the Shoreline Fault is a verticle strike-slip fault, which moves in a horizontal motion. It is approximately 24 kilometers long, intersecting with the nearby Hosgri fault to the north, and roughly 12 kilometers deep. According to PG&E, it lies 600 meters from the plant's power block and 300 meters from the intake structure. It is considered capable of producing up to a magnitude 6.1 earthquake (the plant was built to withstand a 7.5-magnitude event). "We don't know yet how rapidly the two sides are slipping past each other and that's key," Brocher said. "We don't know if it's releasing energy continuously, or storing it up. We don't know when the last significant earthquake—if any—was on this fault, or the magnitude. There's a lot of question marks." Another question is whether the location is entirely accurate, whether the fault could run onshore directly under the plant. Assemblyman Sam Blakeslee earned a PhD studying earthquakes on the Central Coast and is the author of Assembly Bill 1632, now law, which mandates that the California Energy Commission (CEC) analyze the state's two nuclear plants regarding seismic, environmental, and economic factors. "The state depends upon the reliable operation of Diablo Canyon," Blakeslee told New Times. "We need to know whether this large fault could run under or possibly affect the reliable operation of the plant. The actual length of the fault, the proximity to the plant; is it some yards away, is it hundreds of yards—these are critical questions." On January 15, PG&E filed an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to recover costs associated with additional seismic studies at and around Diablo Canyon, as recommended by the CEC. As of this printing, the CPUC has not made a decision on that filing. According to PG&E spokesman Kory Raftery, if funded, further research will be conducted by PG&E's geosciences department. But as far as the Shoreline fault is concerned, PG&E officials are confident about the data they already have. "While we see the 3-D studies as a useful tool in continued examination of the Hosgri fault and the Los Osos fault, we do not expect the studies to yield new information on the Shoreline Fault, particularly when it comes to the maximum magnitude of an earthquake the fault could, in theory, deliver," Raftery said. But for Blakeslee, it's important to do the research to avoid what happened in Japan in 2007, when a quake shook the largest nuclear plant in the world. Though the Japanese plant survived with minimal damage, more than 300 gallons of radioactive cooling water leaked into the ocean. "The earthquake that knocked out the Japanese plant cost $12 billion to ratepayers. A fraction of that amount spent to strengthen the plant could have prevented that outage," Blakeslee said. "That quake knocked out critical facilities that support the plant and many of the lesser components that support Diablo haven't been through that testing." According to a PG&E cost estimate, the company anticipates $500,000 will be used for study design and planning, $11 million for 3-D offshore seismic studies, $2.025 million for 2-D onshore studies, $2.052 million for ocean bottom seismometers, and $1.15 million for project management and peer review, bringing the total for the upcoming seismic studies to $16,727,000. PG&E expects to have the Shoreline Fault study complete by the end of 2010 and tectonic modeling for the central California region wrapped up by 2012. If the utility is granted recovery of costs, all seismic studies—including 3-D testing—are expected to be completed by 2013, about a year after the process of re-licensing the plant is expected to be complete. Given the uncertainty about dangers the fault could present, the SLO Board of Supervisors and other parties contend the plant should not be issued a new operating license until all seismic studies are completed.

Hell hath no fury like a French tournament director scorned.
Andy Murray withdrew from this week's ATP 250 level Open 13 tournament in Marseille, where he was top seed, stating on his website on February 12 that he needed "an extra week off to recuperate and recover for the long season ahead" after "playing in Australia for five weeks."
Marseille's tournament director thinks that's a lame excuse.
Peeved TD Jean-Francois Caujolle was quoted on Monday in Daily Express:
"Murray did the same thing to me last year. He can't know what it is to keep his word. A week ago, he asked me for a wild card to play doubles with his brother Jamie and I gave him one. A few days ago, he asked me for five hotel rooms and I gave him them.
"The No 1 seed of a tournament should have a sense of responsibility. If he does not respect his commitments, he should be suspended by the ATP."
Rule No. 1 – never speak to the Daily Express when you're angry. Wait until you've calmed down a little and talk with Sky Sports News. Caujolle's comments via Sky Sports:
"I never said that he should be suspended, but it's true I was really disappointed because he was my top player.
"There is a responsibility for the credibility of all the game when it's a top player. Sometimes you have to force yourself and be responsible.
"I understand he's quite young and it's not a huge tournament but it's quite disappointing and we had the same last year.
"One week before, to phone and say I am not coming would have been good. In that case I could have found another player, not as good as Andy, but made an offer to Marin Cilic or someone, but it was too late.
"A few minutes later Juan Martin Del Potro pulled out with a real injury so I lost my top two players."
But "c'est la vie" says Cajuolle: "It's not the fault of the ATP or even Andy. It's just life."
The ATP took Andy Murray's side (via Yahoo! News):
"There are clear rules and regulations in place with regard to player withdrawals and Andy Murray followed them," read their statement.
"We understand a situation like this can be frustrating for a tournament, but we are looking forward to a great week of tennis in Marseille with a strong field led by six of the world's Top 20 players."
Hmm. . .something tells me Andy Murray won't be playing Marseille in 2011.
The Scot is scheduled to play in Dubai next week.

Watch: Sexy 'Skyfall' Video Blog on Bond Girls Marlohe and Harris
by Alex Billington
September 20, 2012
Source: 007.com
"For me on set, it's been a joy just to play with these people." Indeed, Mr. Bond. This is one of the best video blog featurettes for the new Bond yet. 007.com has debuted a video blog, lacking any sufficient title, that focuses on the two sexy, but badass and talented, Bond girls in this: Naomie Harris as Eve and Bérénice Marlohe as Sévérine. This is about the eighth or ninth video blog for James Bond's Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes, and as I keep saying, the more we see the better this looks. But these two look absolutely the best, hands down. This video blog includes a lot of great on-set footage and plenty more, so fire it up below.
Here's the new Bond girls video blog for Sam Mendes' Bond film Skyfall, in high def from 007.com:
Skyfall is being directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road, Away We Go), from a script by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. Skyfall will once again star Daniel Craig as James Bond 007, along with Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench as M, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe, Helen McCrory, Ola Rapace with Ben Whishaw. You can also follow the official twitter @007 for updates as well, they've been tweeting photos and more. Columbia Pictures, Eon Productions and MGM have Skyfall set to hit US theaters on November 9th this fall. We'll continue to keep you updated on all things Bond. Check out my on set experience in Istanbul. I can't wait!

It may have been Kentucky Derby weekend, but it was that other horse race in America – the political one between the rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination – that continued to demand attention yesterday with two more do-or-die primary contests set for tomorrow in Indiana and North Carolina.
Barack Obama is in grave need of strong results in both states to counter the claims of his opponent Hillary Clinton that he cannot connect with the white working class. Mrs Clinton, lagging behind in delegate numbers, is similarly under pressure to do well – at least coming close in North Carolina and taking Indiana – lest she face renewed pressure to abandon a race many feel has gone on for too long.
The final stretch into tomorrow's voting was dominated by skirmishing over a proposal to lift the federal petrol tax to help hard-pressed working Americans fill their tanks amidst fast-rising prices. The move is backed by Mrs Clinton and John McCain, the Republican nominee, but opposed by Mr Obama.
In a self-assured appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, Mr Obama called the tax holiday a "classic Washington gimmick" that would do little good but may spur new demand and push up the base price of petrol even further. They tried the idea in his home state of Illinois and it failed, he said. "I voted for it," he added. "Then six months later we took a look and consumers had not benefited at all. I learned from a mistake."
Mr Obama campaigned intensely across Indiana over the weekend, bringing his wife, Michelle, and their two young children along for a couple of appearances on Saturday – at a merry-go-round and a roller-skating rink – in an attempt to underscore family values to voters. If Mr Obama loses heavily among white and blue collar voters tomorrow, Mrs Clinton will underscore her case to uncommitted super delegates that she will be the better candidate come November.
An Associated Press-Yahoo poll did not offer the Obama camp much respite. It showed that 53 per cent of white adults with no college education viewed the candidate unfavourably, up a dozen points since a similar survey in November. The poll also continued to suggest that white working-class Americans lean overwhelmingly towards Mrs Clinton.
Mr Obama, who scraped past Mrs Clinton in voting in the tiny US Pacific territory of Guam on Saturday, would breathe much easier come tomorrow night if he can prevail in Indiana. "If we win Indiana we've got the nomination," he said last week. He admitted on NBC that whatever the outcome he expects Mrs Clinton to keep fighting through to the last primaries on 3 June.
But winning Indiana will be tough with polls showing him trailing slightly. Helping Mr Obama, at least, are large concentrations of black voters in Indianapolis, in the state's centre, and around the gritty city of Gary, which lies just across the border from southern Illinois, where he lives.
Uncertain is how his resistance to the petrol tax holiday will play with voters in Indiana and North Carolina. Numerous economists have voiced their own disapproval of what Mrs Clinton and Mr McCain are proposing, which at best could save families 30 cents a day. "I was appalled by Hillary going with the gas tax," said Alice Rivlin, the budget director under Bill Clinton.
Mr Obama has stood his ground on the issue. "Only in Washington can you get away with calling someone out of touch when you're the one who thinks that 30 cents a day is enough to help people who are struggling," he said. "I think the American people are smarter than Washington gives them credit for."
His win in Guam by just seven votes may have been a fillip, but only a small one. The territory will send only four delegates to the party convention – two for each of the candidates.
On Meet the Press, Mr Obama admitted that the continuing noise surrounding the Rev Jeremiah Wright "wasn't welcome" for his campaign, but added: "I think that the American people understand that when I joined Trinity United Church of Christ I was committing not to Pastor Rev Wright, I was committing to a church and I was committing to Christ."
Mrs Clinton, speaking on ABC, said both campaigns "should definitely move on" from the Wright affair.

Monday's Molecule #154
Today's molecule is a bit more complicated than some of the others. You have to identify the molecule (common name only) and describe (briefly) its function. Can you name the precursor?
Post your answer in the comments. I'll hold off releasing any comments for 24 hours. The first one with the correct answer wins. I will only post correct answers to avoid embarrassment. This is your last chance to enter the Christmas draw for a free textbook!
There could be two winners. If the first correct answer isn't from an undergraduate student then I'll select a second winner from those undergraduates who post the correct answer. You will need to identify yourself as an undergraduate in order to win. (Put "undergraduate" at the bottom of your comment.) Every undergraduate who posts a correct answer will have their names entered in a Christmas draw. The winner gets a free autographed copy of my book! (One entry per week. If you post a correct answer every week you will have ten chances to win.)
Some past winners are from distant lands so their chances of taking up my offer of a free lunch are slim. (That's why I can afford to do this!)
In order to win you must post your correct name. Anonymous and pseudoanonymous commenters can't win the free lunch.
Winners will have to contact me by email to arrange a lunch date.
UPDATE: The molecule is thyrotropin-releasing hormone. It's derived from a long precursor protein containing multiple repeats of the tripeptide Glu-His-Pro.
The winner is Joseph C. Somody.
I'll announce the undergraduate winner of my textbook on Christmas day.

Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), also called thyrotropin-releasing factor (TRF), thyroliberin or protirelin
a tropic tripeptide hormone that stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone and prolactin by the anterior pituitary. The molecule is thyrotropin-releasing hormone.
It's a hormone that stimulates the release of thyrotropin or thyroid-stimulating hormone in the pituitary gland.
The hormone precursor is synthesized as a polypeptide chain containing multiple copies of the peptide -Glu-His-Pro-Gly-, which is cleaved to form mature TRH.- Raul A. Félix de SousaMonday, December 19, 2011 1:00:00 PM
Molecule # 154 is the Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH), or pyroglutamyl-histidyl-prolinamide (pGlu-H-Pro-NH2). It binds to a receptor of the anterior pituitary causing it to release TSH (Thyrotropic Stimulating Hormone).
ReplyDelete - Dima KlenchinMonday, December 19, 2011 1:38:00 PM
That's thyrotropin-releasing hormone AKA protirelin. That's a good one because it is linked to a Nobel prize in medicine (1977).
The function is kind of obvious from the name - it stimulates secretion of thyrotropin.
It is basically a EHP peptide with Glu condensing on itself. So the immediate precursor has to be simply EHP. Hmm, it appears to be thyrotropin releasing hormone. It is released by the hypothalamus into the hypophyseal portal system. I do not know what the precursor is exactly. Its function is stimulating the release of thyroid stimulating hormone and prolactin from the anterior pituitary.
If I'm right, it would be due to my intense review for the MCAT.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as it has been diagnosed by a couple Master Techs and they have no answers.

Insects as a Nitrogen Source for Plants
Department of Biological Sciences, Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, L2S 3A1, Canada
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Received: 3 May 2013 / Revised: 18 June 2013 / Accepted: 9 July 2013 / Published: 31 July 2013
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Insect Pathology)
Many plants have evolved adaptations in order to survive in low nitrogen environments. One of the best-known adaptations is that of plant symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria; this is the major route by which nitrogen is incorporated into plant biomass. A portion of this plant-associated nitrogen is then lost to insects through herbivory, and insects represent a nitrogen reservoir that is generally overlooked in nitrogen cycles. In this review we show three specialized plant adaptations that allow for the recovery of insect nitrogen; that is, plants gaining nitrogen from insects. First, we show specialized adaptations by carnivorous plants in low nitrogen habitats. Insect carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants and sundews (Nepenthaceae/Sarraceniaceae and Drosera respectively) are able to obtain substantial amounts of nitrogen from the insects that they capture. Secondly, numerous plants form associations with mycorrhizal fungi that can provide soluble nitrogen from the soil, some of which may be insect-derived nitrogen, obtained from decaying insects or insect frass. Finally, a specialized group of endophytic, insect-pathogenic fungi (EIPF) provide host plants with insect-derived nitrogen. These soil-inhabiting fungi form a remarkable symbiosis with certain plant species. They can infect a wide range of insect hosts and also form endophytic associations in which they transfer insect-derived nitrogen to the plant. Root colonizing fungi are found in disparate fungal phylogenetic lineages, indicating possible convergent evolutionary strategies between taxa, evolution potentially driven by access to carbon-containing root exudates.

Before the theme to Young and the Restlessbecame known for its soapy dramatic goodness, Romanian Nadia Comaneci became the face associated with that tune.
In the Montreal 1976 Olympics, Nadia became the latest, the first in the modern television era, to serve as a hero to millions of young girls aspiring to be gymnasts. From behind the Iron Curtain where she grew up, here was an example of the humanity that still exists in an enemy during a war, cold or hot.
Her golden achievement was that she was the first gymnast to achieve a perfect score at the Olympic games.
Her gold medal run in 1976 endeared her to the American people in a way that was rare of a communist country athlete. Comaneci's adoration in America is so strong, she moved here in the 1980s and became a citizen in the 1990s.
In 1972, the shadow of terrorism hung over the Olympic games in Munich.
America's ally, Israel, had members of its Olympic team captured and eventually killed dampening the spirit of what was supposed to be a triumphant return to Germany for the games after the Hitler spectacle of 1936.
Mark Spitz shined during those Olympics, taking seven gold medals from his competition in the pool. His medals were achieved in the 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle races and the 100-meter and 200-meter butterfly races, setting a world record in each race. Heiden was also a member of the winning 4x100-meter freestyle, 4x200-meter freestyle, and 4x100-meter medley relay teams, each of which set a world record.
To this day, he is considered the standard by which all American swimmers are measured.
Wilma Glodean Rudolph should not have been an Olympian. Born prematurely, as she grew up, Rudolph was struck with scarlet fever, double pneumonia and eventually contracted polio. In order to receive treatment, Rudolph's mother had to take her to a black hospital more than 50 miles away.
Rudolph went on to set Olympic records in track and field that still stand today.
She was a product of the pre-Title IX era, literally having to make her way through sports with perseverance and determination beyond the norm.
Her work paid off, she became the first US woman to win three gold medals in the track and field events. Rudolph arose out of the 1960 Rome Olympics and earned herself the nickname, "The Tennessee Tornado," aka, the fastest woman on earth.
She holds the world record in the 100 meter and 200 meter races.
By the age of 12, Rudolph had put her disabilities behind her and started her dream of Olympic immortality.
At 16, she earned a ticket on the 1956 Olympic team and came home with a bronze medal in the 4x100-meter relay.
But it is for 1960 that she is most remembered.
Her inspiration for those Olympics was the one and only, Jesse Owens. Who sits ahead on our tribute.

Bulldogs stand alone on top of WBL
Celina wins first outright league championship in 12 years
CELINA - Forgive the Celina boys basketball team for being selfish, they weren't in the sharing mood.
The Bulldogs weren't satisfied with a share of the Western Buckeye League championship, so they went out and won it all for themselves with a 62-59 victory over Ottawa-Glandorf on Friday night at the Fieldhouse.
"Both teams were playing for a league title. They (O-G) wanted a share of it and we wanted it outright. Just feels great to come out on top in such a big game between two good teams," said Celina senior Nate Bihn, who scored a team-high 17 points for the Bulldogs.
It's the 16th WBL title all-time for Celina (17-3, 8-1 WBL) and the first outright crown since 1998-99.
"Feels great to win it all by ourselves in front of our fans on our homecourt. We knew that we won it last week, but none of us wanted to celebrate it because we wanted to have it all to ourselves," said Celina senior John Homan, who scored 13 points and had a game-high 14 rebounds. "Now we can celebrate."
Ottawa-Glandorf (12-8, 6-3 WBL) had a chance to force a three-way tie for the league title with a win over Celina but the Titans have to settle for third place as Defiance (16-4, 7-2 WBL) grabs second place.
"We started the league schedule with a loss to Defiance, but the guys never doubted themselves and fought like crazy to achieve a goal they had for this year," said Celina head coach Chris Bihn. "They have played hard all year and deserve every bit of success they are having. They have been working toward this for years as a group and it's very rewarding for me as a coach to see it all come together with an outright league title."
It wasn't an easy road to the outright WBL title but the Bulldogs got it done with a powerful inside performance. Bihn, Homan, Greg Riemesch and Mitchell Ross took turns attacking the Titans' post players while combining for 47 points and 32 rebounds.
Ottawa-Glandorf head coach Josh Leslie certainly noticed the damage that Celina's post players were dishing out.
"Their (Celina's) shot chart must look like the lane got shot out of it," said Leslie about the location of the Bulldogs' shot attempts. "They killed us on the glass and they killed us in the lane. Bihn and Homan especially killed us inside and on the glass."
Celina charged in front of O-G by hitting a trio of three-pointers in the first quarter but the Bulldogs never connected again from long range the rest of the game.
"We take away their inside game in the first quarter and they make every frickin jump shot," said Leslie. "They scored all of their points in the first quarter it seemed on jump shots. Then we try to take away their jump shots and they pepper us in the lane. I guess it's pick your poison."
The Bulldogs' strategy for the final three quarters of the game was all about locating the mismatch in the post and exploiting it.
"With us having so many guys that can score in the post, it allows us to try and find the mismatch on the court," said Homan. "Whether it was me, or Nate, or Greg...we just tried to find a mismatch and feed that person the ball. I think that's one of our team strengths and it worked to our advantage tonight."
Celina led by as many as 13 points early in the second quarter but O-G rallied in a big way. The Titans' Travis Schomaeker scored 10 points to lead an 18-4 run over the last six minutes of the second quarter that put O-G on top 35-32 at halftime.
The score was tied at 44-44 with 45 seconds to play in the third quarter when Bihn got loose for four points and then Homan hit a pair of free throws to help give Celina a 50-47 advantage with one quarter left to play.
Celina pushed its lead to as many as nine in the fourth quarter but had trouble closing out the win. Schomaeker buried a pair of three-pointers and Andrew Trenkamp scored two to leave the Titans down 62-59 with 1:39 remaining in the game.
A pair of ill-advised shots by Celina gave O-G several chances down the stretch, but the Titans were unable cash in on any of them.
Schomaeker, who finished with a game-high 25 points, missed an open three-pointer with 52 seconds on the clock and then misfired on a turnaround jumper in the lane with 18 seconds left in the game.
Celina left the door open for O-G down the stretch when Kahl Knapke missed the front end of a one-and-one situation with 18 ticks on the clock.
O-G put the ball in the hands of Schomaeker on the next possession and Bihn used his quick hands to make a great defensive play and force a jump ball with only 6.8 seconds remaining in the game.
The Titans got a great look at the potential game-tying three-pointer with about four seconds left in the game but T.J. Metzger's long-range bomb was just off the back of the rim with Bihn chasing down the rebound as time expired.
"I don't think any of us feel that this was our best game of the year, but it sure feels good to win it and get the WBL title outright," said Riemesch.

University Council Business: Summary of Progress
Submit a topic for consideration.
Term | Topic | Summary of Result |
Fall 2015 | Fee Remission for Part-time Staff Dependents |
The University Council sent a recommendation to President Scarborough in support of extending to qualified part-time staff the benefit to transfer one course per semester to a qualified dependent. |
Spring 2015 | E-Cigarettes | The College of Health Professions has implemented a non-smoking policy (which includes e-cigarettes) for areas that are within the sole control of the college. The college policy does not extend to common areas used by more than one department. |
Spring 2015 | Leave Bank Policy | The University Council sent a recommendation to President Scarborough in support of creating a leave bank for non-bargaining unit employees. |
Spring 2015 | Smoking | A communication is sent to the campus community at the beginning of each semester asking smokers to comply with Ohio's Smoke Free Workplace Law. UA forbids smoking in any enclosed area, including buildings, parking decks and University Vehicles. No smoking is permitted within 25 feet of an entranceway, window or ventilation system of any University building or enclosed area. |
Fall 2014 | Prayer Room on Campus | All student groups have an opportunity to request space at multiple locations across campus. |
Spring 2014 | Nursing Mother's Location | The University currently has two room available for nursing mothers at the Recreation and Wellness Center and at the School of Law. The Director of Campus Planning and Space Utilization will review Bierce Library and the Student Union to identify additional locations in the central part of campus. |
Spring 2014 | Folk Hall Repairs | Vice President Ted Curtis and Assistant Vice President of Physical Facilities Joe Gregor addressed the concerns. |
Spring 2014 |
Building Upkeep: Schrank Hall and Mary Gladwin Hall | Vice President Ted Curtis and Assistant Vice President of Physical Facilities Joe Gregor addressed the concerns. |
Spring 2014 | Internet Connectivity: A question about internet access. | Students, faculty, staff and those with UA credentials should only access the Rootown and UARH (residence hall) networks. The UAguest network is intended for use by guests and information has been restricted to protect copyrighted and licensed material. |
Spring 2013 | Student Recreation and Wellness Center (SRWC): A request to open the SRWC during home football games. | The SRWC will be open on home football game days for the 2013 football season. |
Spring 2013 | Customized Text Books: A request to investigate if customized textbooks are necessary because of the high cost to students. | Standard textbooks are less expensive than a custom version; standard textbooks can be resold but custom cannot. The deans have been asked to share these findings with their faculty to see if they might consider other options. |
Fall 2012 |
Student Family Housing and Day Care: A proposal to request family housing and day care services on campus for students with children | The Student Engagement and Success Committee provided the following information: UA does not offer family housing on campus due to cost and liability issues. UA relies on providers near campus to provide family housing (i.e., Fir Hill Towers, Ellis Properties and Summit County Job and Family Services). UA's Child Development Center provides day care options. |
Fall 2012 | Fee Remission for Part-Time Staff Dependents: A request to offer fee remission to dependents of part-time staff | The Budget and Finance Committee and the Talent Development and Human Resources Committee jointly determined that in the current financial situation, they could not recommend that the existing benefits package be expanded to include dependents of part-time staff. |
Fall 2012 | Environmental Sustainability: An idea to put solar panels and wind turbines on campus to save money and reduce student fees | UA's Board of Trustees approved a proposal to install solar panels on the roof of the Louis & Freda Stile Athletics Field House. It is conservatively estimated that this project will save UA at least $1 million over the next 20 years. While student fees will not be reduced, future risk of escalating fees have been directly mitigated because of this project. A study done by the VP of Capital Planning concluded that generating energy through the use of wind turbines was too costly and physically obtrusive. |
Fall 2012 | University Administration Hiring: A request to study the impact of reducing the number of administrators | The Talent Development and Human Resources Committee looked at UA Staffing from 1997-present and created a report that includes the following components: historical comparison, context for growth, and comparison with national and Ohio peers. |
Fall 2012 | Faculty/Staff Hiring: A request to hold discussions related to faculty, contract professional and staff hiring | The Talent Development and Human Resources Committee looked at UA Staffing from 1997-present and created a report that includes the following components: historical comparison, context for growth, and comparison with national and Ohio peers. |
Spring 2012 | Recognition of Service on University Council: A request to document and recognize service as a Talent Development initiative | UC Steering Committee sent annual recognition letters to UC members; this will be done on an annual basis. |
Spring 2012 | Budget Information Request: A request for budget allocations and expenditures for each campus unit for the last ten (10) years | University leaders held three campus forums to present a comprehensive budget analysis of the last ten years, including plans for the FY13 budget. View the presentation that was used at the forums. |
Spring 2012 | Interdisciplinary Symposium: A proposal to hold an annual symposium each fall to promote interdisciplinary discourse and scholarship on campus | The Budget and Finance Committee recommended that the University members interested in this activity seek funding from external sources (i.e., corporate sponsors, The University of Akron Research Foundation, The National Science Foundation and other agencies). |
Summer 2012 | Part-time Employees: A proposal to consider providing health-care benefits to part-time (non-teaching) employees | The Talent Development and Human Resources Standing Committee provided the following information: UA employs 159 part-time regular (non-teaching) employees and 239 temporary part-time employees. When part-time employees are hired, it is made clear that the position is part-time and there is no indication that it will become full-time in the future. Health insurance is offered to part-time employees that work at least half time; 100% of the cost is paid by the employee. |
Note: University Council convened its initial organizational meeting on November 22, 2011

phightower 6/25/2011 - 11:25 PM Permalink Report Abuse 8 out of 8 people found the following review helpful 4 out of 5 Good Upgrade I wanted a pad extention for my Compact for easier loading but the factory 17 to 20rd magazine stuck 2" below the grip & looked awkward. Instead, I bought this kit and used the original 15rd spring. Not only does it make reloading more solid but it extends the factory 15rd magazine to 18rds. It looks good also!

IronBob 12/4/2011 - 2:46 PM Permalink Report Abuse 6 out of 6 people found the following review helpful 5 out of 5 Magazine Extension After reading the first review I purchased the Magaziine extension and spring for my PX4 Compact 9mm. I tried it both ways, with the longer spring and the original spring, it works both ways but the original spring allows the 18th rd to be installed with ease; it gives you a spare spring as well, win-win. I also agree with the other reviewer that it looks real cool as well! I recommend it. Comment | Was this review helpful? Yes | No Name Leave a Comment Submit Comment

My experience with Outdoor ProWash was EXCELLENT from beginning to end. Cody and Chris performed an excellent job of cleaning the stone around my house.

Also, the cost was very reasonable.Thank you very much George, Chris, and Cody (Outdoor ProWash)!!!!!Sonya M.
I am very pleased with the quality of service provided by outdoor prowash. My house really looks great, and it was so easy and convenient to set up an appointment. The price was excellent, too. I will be using outdoor prowash again in the future, and would recommend them to other homeowners.
Mr. Clark your company did a great job on my exterior last year. I plan to get yor people to come back in the late Spring for another clean up job. Thank you for reminding me of things to check on for the winter months. Expect my call for the Spring.

The first release candidate for OpenSUSE Linux 10.1 has been released, but as you know, no release notes, changelog, or whatever, so I again cannot tell you what's changed, improved, or fixed. Download locations are listed in the release announcement.

Curiously, the FreeBSD 6.1 release announcement is almost identical in format to the SuSE release announcement...
Yet no complaints about the lack of release notes or change notes. Granted, the FreeBSD release has more information about what's changed, but it's essentially "More, better, faster".
Disclaimer: I've been using FreeBSD since 2.0.x, and SuSE since 7.x.

Feyenoord created a dubious kind of record by losing 10 – 0 to PSV Eindhoven.
Their previous record of the most ghastly score they had ever lost by was 8-2 against Ajax in September 1983.
The new record more or less completely eclipses the old one.The same total number of goals were scored but this time Feyenoord were at the receiving end of all of them.
Consolation ? It can only get better after this….
Jonathan Reis scored a hat-trick for PSV with Ibrahim Afellay, Ola Toivonen, Jeremain Lens (2), Balazs Dzsudzsak (2) and Orlando Engelaar also joining the goal fest..

The very high need for electrical energy is adverse. An electric power in similar order of magnitude of the aerodynamic compressor power over a certain time is needed to cause an effective contribution for charging pressure increase (several kW) (several seconds). Conventional board networks (particularly 12 - volts -technique) are overdid with it however.

These 12 Volt vehicle compressors are cheap, around $20 or so, and the faulty unit is not worth repairing. A stuck non-return valve may sometimes be "un-stuck" by connecting a high pressure air supply to the compressor air intake, and giving it a quick "blast or two" of compressed air at 100psi, with the compressor running.

Get ready for a healthy, safe and fun summer!
June is a great time of year, just ask any child. It marks the end of school and the beginning of summer, which means long days playing outdoors, swimming and gathering with friends and family. June is also National Safety Month, so it's the perfect time to think about how to keep all those youngsters safe and injury free.
With longer days and higher temperatures, summertime unfortunately brings an increase in injuries. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 2 million children under age 15 will visit an emergency room this summer, and more than 2,000 children will die as a result of accidents or injuries.
The good news is that most of these injuries can be prevented with common sense and vigilance by supervising adults.
For example, all children should be supervised while near water, including pools, spas, lakes and streams. Accidental drowning claims the lives of approximately 750 children each year, according to the National Safety Council. To avoid injury, gates should be placed around all pools and spas at your home. Older children should be educated about water safety and taught to swim.
Other injuries occur as a result of children simply playing. Most parents understand that running, climbing, and playing games are typical activities for children, but adults should enforce reasonable requirements.
Whenever a child is riding anything with wheels (bikes, skateboards, roller skates, etc.), be sure the child is wearing a helmet. And children need to be taught where it's safe to play. Hopscotch on the sidewalk can be fun, but playing ball in the street can be very dangerous. Set limits and make sure your children understand them.
Also, climbing on the backyard juggle gym is great fun for kids, but mom and dad need to make sure it's sturdy and has no exposed metal that can cause injury. It should also have a soft foundation of mulch, sand or matting underneath, and children should be taught not to climb in ways that are dangerous to themselves or others.
Keep these other tips in mind to ensure your children are safe and have fun this summer:
With some common sense and proper supervision, you can help make this summer lots of fun for children.

Thanks again all! & dennis...wider shoulders, bike lanes, sidewalks... they'd all be good! Perhaps this capture should head to the county council! Thanks for the inspiration!!
