JACKSON — Under Mississippi law, students must attend schools in the district where they live unless there is a mutual transfer agreement between school districts.
Not everyone likes the idea, as the Mississippi Supreme Court will learn as its referees a dispute between Mark and Laura Fails. The couple filed a lawsuit against the Jefferson Davis County school system that goes to the heart of the transfer law.
By law, students can transfer between school districts only if both school boards agree. There have been some failed attempts to tinker with the law, but Mississippi legislators have generally agreed the transfer issue is a local one.
It hasn't been all peace and harmony. Generally, parents have seen the issue as a freedom of choice. The school district wants to protect its right, under the law, to prevent a wholesale exodus and to protect local funding.
In Mississippi when students transfer to other districts, state money goes with them. Several school districts across the state have been reviewing their local transfer policies particularly during the tough economy.
In 2003, the Fails family, who lived in Jefferson Davis County, obtained a transfer for their daughter to attend school in Sumrall in Lamar County Public School District.
In 2007, the Jefferson Davis school district went into conservatorship. As a result, it revoked all previous transfers. That meant the Fails' daughter had to return to Jefferson Davis schools.
The couple sued and lost in circuit court. The state Court of Appeals last May sided with the school system.
Among the arguments by the Fails were that school board couldn't revoke a student's transfer from one district to another after the transfer was approved. They also claimed the school board could not adopt a blanket policy against transfers from one district to another.
The Appeals Court said nothing in state law suggests that once consent has been given for a transfer it cannot be withdrawn.
The school district had obtained an attorney general's opinion that said: "The release of the student to attend school in another school district is not permanent. The transfer is effective until either party revokes its consent."
The Appeals Court also ruled the school district was allowed to adopt any transfer policy it wanted, including a blanket policy that banned all transfers.
There have been some court cases on the school transfer issue.
In 2007, the Booneville and Prentiss County school districts settled out of court a year-old dispute over the transfer of students. The Prentiss County Board of Education the previous year voted to end student transfers to other school districts.
Parents of 135 students who live in an area of Booneville annexed in the late 1980s sued the Prentiss County School Board. They wanted their children to attend Booneville schools. The Booneville School District and the city of Booneville joined the parents' group as plaintiffs in the case.
The settlement spelled out how student transfers would be handled in the future and the rights of students in the annexed to stay where they were.
In 2010, a federal judge ordered a small south Mississippi school district to stop allowing hundreds of white students to transfer out of majority-black schools. The U.S. Justice Department contended the school district had, for years, allowed hundreds of white students to transfer from predominantly black Tylertown schools to Salem Attendance Center.
The judge ordered the Walthall County School District to change its transfer policy to only allow transfers to a school outside a student's residential zone only if students can justify it as a well-documented medical emergency or if students have a parent working full-time at a school outside their zone.

In the comic, they were buddies from Vietnam who were as close as brothers. After the war, Storm Shadow went to Japan, and Snake Eyes came home to find his family dead (in a sorta convoluted twist that involved Cobra Commander's brother and indirectly led to the founding of Cobra), so he joined Storm Shadow in Japan. He quickly became better than SS, and the Hard Master wanted to make SE his heir. SE refused.
Cobra Commander, meanwhile, had hired Zartan to infiltrate the clan and kill SE (whom he blamed for his brother's death). Zartan found peace as an apprentice swordsmith, but CC threatened to expose him to the clan and sent Firefly in to make sure Zartan did his job. Zartan used a high-tech bow (and an arrow stolen from SS, to frame him) to home in on SE's heartbeat and shoot him through a wall, not realizing that at that moment, the Hard Master was demonstrating an imitation technique to SE by imitating his heartbeat. The Hard Master was killed by SS's arrow, and SE saw SS apparently fleeing the scene. He was actually chasing Zartan (whom he didn't know) as far as his escape vehicle, a Cobra helicopter (presumably flown by Firefly).
SS joined Cobra and made his way through the ranks to become CC's personal bodyguard, knowing that CC would know the identity of the killer. He eventually found out and snuck into the Pit to inform SE, and the two attacked Cobra Island to seek revenge on Zartan. He was gunned down by the Baroness, left for dead, and, when he came out of his trance, he went into seclusion for a while before accompanying SE on a mission or two and officially joining the Joe team.
So, short story, in the comic book, he was always an honorable sort and sought especially hard to atone for his deeds as a Cobra once he left the organization.

When Marine Corps Cpl. Cammie Richard heard the news that a ban prohibiting women from fighting on the front lines had been lifted, she called friends she served with to bask in the "awesome news," she said.
"I served with a lot of other women, and I think this is wonderful," Richard told the American Press. "I am overjoyed and have been trying to contact them all day long."
The move, announced by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday, overturned a ruling from 1994 that prohibited women from being assigned to ground combat units below the brigade level.
Richard said she understands that not everyone can serve in a combat role, but that women who can, and want to, should have the opportunity to do so.
"I'm a Marine Corps vet, and we did the exact same training as the men. But we weren't allowed to go to the extra two-week training that was specifically geared towards combat training," she said.
"If a woman can put on a pair of boots and hike right alongside the guys and do the same things they do, then we should be allowed to be on the front lines. If we can haul the load, let us do it."
U.S. Navy veteran Michael Gunter said he is "excited for women in the military."
"When I was in the military, women could do anything that the men could do just as well, and some did it better," said Gunter, a former aviation storekeeper. "They could outshoot men or shoot just as well as any man could. Their skills were the same. I don't understand why they weren't able to be in combat if they wanted to."
Other veterans disagreed with the decision to lift the ban.
Airman 1st Class Brooke Doucet said she doesn't agree "at all."
"I just don't think it's a great idea to assume a role that is for a man, but we now live in a time of equality where women want the same rights as men," she said.
"Combat situations aren't situations that women should be in; they react differently to things than men do. I think that if a woman is exposed to some of the things that they would see on the front lines, that their feelings and emotions would be too much to handle the situation in the safest manner for the troop."
Pfc. Shannon Thomas said that when she enlisted in the Marine Corps she questioned why women weren't allowed to assume combat roles, and the answer given to her by an officer has "always stuck" with her and "makes sense."
"He told me when men are around women in any situation, men are prone to want to defend women," she said. "When on the front lines, if a man were to see a woman get injured he's going to want to help that woman, thus putting himself and others in the troop at risk for injury as well."
Thomas said she also doesn't believe that women are "made to carry" the equipment that servicemen in combat have to tote around.
"It just isn't realistic to me; men and women aren't physically built the same," she said. "I will defend women's right on everything, except for this. I firmly don't think that women belong on the front lines for emotional and physical reasons."
Marine Corps platoon commander Mitchell Adrian said his concern for allowing women to assume combat roles is the effect it could have on the camaraderie within a combat unit.
"Things have changed a lot in the 25-30 years it's been since I've been on active duty, but it's really difficult for me to comprehend how personal relationships between (troops) in the field will be when genders are mixed," he said.
"(Troops) build close bonds because they are in a tough environment and in close proximity for periods of time — this could change and it's difficult for me to understand how this will work. Another problem could be that men tend to be more protective of women than they are of other men, and that could really affect a situation."
About 14 percent of the 1.4 million active military personnel are women.

OXFORD – Mississippi economic developer Leland Speed has said, "Pretty sells, and ugly don't."
Joe Fratesi, the institute's community development director, passed along that and a host of other advice – along with a good dose of praise – to New Albany leaders and other residents recently.
Fratesi presented the initial results of "First Impressions," a program of Mississippi State University's Stennis Institute. In the program, a team from one city visits another, taking note of problems and assets from a newcomer's point of view.
"It's not an inventory; it's a snapshot," Fratesi insisted, noting that locals use the information to set their own priorities for improvement.
New Albany's First Impressions team, from Batesville, identified opportunities for improvement from landscaping, road conditions and building maintenance at several city gateways to signage.
Fratesi said the group was impressed with New Albany's architectural street-name signs but added that wayfinding signage to help visitors find attractions was scarce and unattractive. He also noted the town could benefit from a strong sign ordinance.
"I think signage has one of the biggest impacts on people's impression of a community," he said. "Signage is something most communities can get their arms around – if they want to."
Fratesi said both ongoing downtown improvement efforts and the value of keeping city and county functions downtown shine through.
"Y'all have got a really great downtown," he said. "Bankhead is a great example of what to do with a main street. You want to take that and apply it to other streets."
The Batesville team found one Bankhead Street tradition unnerving, as did Fratesi himself.
"I would highly encourage from a community planning standpoint, from a safety standpoint, don't park in the middle of the street," he said.
The Sportsplex also drew many compliments from New Albany's First Impressions visitors.
"This is a fantastic facility," he said. "The phrase we heard over and over was, 'Man, I wish we had something like this in our town.'"
Other assets Fratesi and the visiting team noted were the Park Along the River, the soon-to-open Tanglefoot Recreational Trail, Northeast Mississippi Community College's branch campus, Baptist Memorial Hospital, a mix of commercial development, the Main Street program, plenty of historic houses and regional growth.
"You can go in some communities and feel like they're going backward," Fratesi said. "New Albany is moving forward. You're going to have growth, jobs, retail coming here."
Fratesi will continue working periodically with the Union County Development Association, Main Street Association and other groups to help the community decide some priorities.
"Lack of funding isn't usually the biggest problem. I think not having a plan is the biggest problem," he said. "The first step is finding out where you're wanting to go – and then we'll go find the funds to do that."

The AD got the ax too. Deservingly so.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
The school President OK'd the suspension a few months ago and now says that he did so without looking at the videos. How is that not a fireable offense?
The President won't be fired and he knows it. He was hired to lead Rutgers through a merger that is worth millions and millions of dollars, no way Christie fires him with most of the heavy lifting yet to be done with that project.
The kicker with all of this Rice gets a million dollar golden parachute.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
There's really this much of a dustup over those videos? Call me old fashioned if you want but I think it's solid motivation/punishment. I mean really?? I do the exact same thing to my wife and young children every time IU loses.

| It has to be said, that for many food-lovers like us, there are just some foods that we absolutely cannot live without. Los Angeles nutrition consultant Lauren Schmitt understands that, so she reminded us that really the only true "diet" you could ever be happy with is maintaining a healthy exercise program. Go ahead and indulge on that crème brulee, just make sure to walk it off the next morning.

| We know this one, and we know that so many people think that if they skip the bread basket at dinner they're doing themselves a serious favor. Well, even though it is good to cut here and there, Schmitt agrees with us that this is actually a very poor plan to try to stick to. Besides the fact that you're missing out on key nutrients that carbohydrates like rice, quinoa, and sweet potatoes have, the truth is that people have a very hard time following a lifetime of low-carb meals. Once they finally cave and jump back on the carbohydrate-wagon, their bodies freak out and the weight lost comes right back. An even, well-balanced meal of protein, vegetables, and carbohydrates, is the best way to push your body into shedding some pounds.

| Schmitt explained to us that the Healthy Plate Method is done by dividing your plate into four quarters: one filled with a lean protein, one with a whole grain carbohydrate, and the final two with vegetables and fruit. First used with diabetics, this method helps control blood sugar and promotes weight loss. You don't need any books, apps, or scales, just the memory of a straightforward plate diagram when you're sitting down for a meal.

| The hCG diet, which stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a diet based on hormonal injections and low-calorie meal consumptions. Beyond the fact that the daily injections are quite costly, Schmitt raises the point that low-calorie meals of most vegetables and lean protein don't give you enough daily nutrients that you need in order to maintain a healthy diet and comfortable weight. While you may lose weight in the beginning, the low-nutrient diet will eventually convince your body to gain the weight back.

| Similar to Volumetrics, in that it doesn't set a strict standard of foods but rather tracks the foods you're already eating, food-tracking approaches such as electronic methods can be very effective. Schmitt told us that research has proven that the individuals who rely on electronic methods, such as My Fitness Pal or Livestrong apps, to track their food intake are more successful with losing weight compared to those who don't. "By journaling one's food, it opens up one's eyes to the amount they are consuming and they can correct the meals or snacks that are too large or not balanced properly. Some people find that they eat a great array of food but that they just eat too much," she explains.

| Along with the popular detox diet trends that Best-selling author of "Fire-Up Your Fat Burn" and health expert on ABCs "Good Morning Texas," Lori Shemek told us about, Schmitt mentioned another cleanse that has becoming popular, which is the long term fruit and vegetable cleanse. "The human body is smart and can adequately cleanse itself. If we were truly toxic as you may read in literature promoting cleanses, we would die. The body benefits from high intake of fruits and vegetables for nutrients and fiber, but needs more than just produce. We need adequate protein and complex carbohydrates [as well]," she says.

| The Flexitarian diet works to try and give you the benefits of becoming a vegetarian, without making you give up meat altogether. Thankfully for most steak-lovers, Shemek believes that it works. "The diet is excellent in its approach to weight loss for vegetarians and it is effective in creating optimal health. It uses plant-based proteins and creates the flexibility of choosing different meals that can work for the whole family. Adding meat very occasionally is still allowed on this diet," she says.

| Los Angeles nutrition consultant Lauren Schmitt studies diets on a daily basis through her work at Healthy Eating and Training, Inc. One diet that always has her eyes rolling is the 100 percent raw vegetable diet. Many people cannot tolerate eating a diet that is 100percent raw. Their digestive system rebels [against it], she says.
Virgin agrees with Schmitts sentiments, and also points out that this diet is highly popular with celebrities, who have expensive private chefs that are making their raw foods taste really, really good. You might be in for a different story if you were to actually try it, warns Virgin.

| Shemek is a fan of the South Beach plan because it relies on good carbohydrates and fats (the stuff we like to eat) to promote successful weight loss. She warns that the initial stages can be challenging for some, but relying on a diet of lean dairy, lean potatoes, fish, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains can be very rewarding in the weight-loss department.

| Author of "Six Weeks to Sleeveless and Sexy" and co-star of TLC's "Freaky Eaters," JJ Virgin is known as one of the nation's leading experts in fitness and nutrition. Her 25 years of experience in the industry has taught her, among other things, which diets work. A popular one that has been around for centuries is the vegan one, and Virgin has her doubts about it. Because a lot of vegans rely on food-substitutions she feels that they subject themselves to a lot of over processed and unnatural foods that are carb-heavy, low in protein, and high in sugar. The perfect recipe for weight gain.

Lalala! Years go by so fast these days... See you next year!
Lalala! Years go by so fast these days... See you next year!
Time for my yearly advogato diary entry. nothing much to report. Still alive and blogging up a storm at my blog anyone looking for me will find information there.
Ahhh, it feels good to be back... such a long time, but it's still as plain as ever :).
I've most recently gotten involved with PHPCommunity.org, which we WILL make THE php community. Doing most of the work in the Content department... got a mailing list set up, so if anyone wants to come in and lend a hand please drop us a line.
OK, back to work :)
Geez, been a long time. Well, I've kept my blog busy, so didn't have anything to put here.
The last few days I've been adding different Custom Kewords to my Custom Keywords Wiki page. I just finished writing a script that parses the wiki page into a bookmarks file that you can feed to your Birds bookmark manager. It's still a bit buggy, but we'll have to solve those problems when we get to them :)
Questions or suggestions welcomed on my blog annoucement page, you can see the source for the converter there too.
I'm very proud to have discovered a way to satisfy my wife's need for shopping. Ebay works like a charm... and the best part about it is that she hasn't spent anything yet :)
Now that we're talking about ebay, I'll drop a blatent plug for something I'm selling there.
<blatent plug>
Here is a nifty home made serial remote control receiver. It used to be great fun before my kid learned how to walk and flushed the remote control down the toilet. Anyway, there is no reserve and it's about to go pretty cheap (approx $2.25).
</blatent plug>
I've taken my Home Video VCD collection and made ISO's of them on my hdd. Now I'm trying to find a way to view them straight off the ISOs.
Do any of the standard movie players in Linux play the avseq01.dat file directly off the mounted iso, without going through the VCD interface? I've tried with xine/totem/mplayer but they don't work. I've asked questions in chat rooms but gotten less then sufficient answers.
I haven't put a lot of time into this, but if anyone has done this I'd be very pleased if you'd let me know.
It's been a while since I've been here! Personal life has been VERY busy, so all else is put aside... such is life.
Linux Mags and UK
So I've relocated to the UK, and to my disappointment I haven't been able to find ANY Linux mags in any of the newsagents. Why is this? In Italy and Germany every little Kiosk on the corner has anything you would want.
I've never had to DL iso's of the latest and greatest Linux distro, as it was without a doubt at the corner News agent... oh well...
I Konverted. Is that a Krime?
Ever since I can remember I have been a Gnome guy. When I was on Mandrake 9 I was less then satisfied with the speed of Gnome, and then when I got fed up with that and upgraded to Slackware I used the very nice Dropline Gnome. However, Nautilus still didn't satisfy my file management needs.
I hadn't even installed KDE when I installed Slackware, but in my quest to find the perfect PGP gui (which I'm still on) I flew over to linuxpackages.net and grabbed a copy of KDE 3.1.2.
Konquerer (the filemangager, not browser) was kluttered yet, usable. The desktop is friendly (with the "new" menu which is strangely absent from Gnome), the printing is wonderful, dialogs are beautiful. What more can I say?
So now I primarily use the KDE desktop, but still use other non-KDE apps, Abiword, Xchat, GAIM, Mozilla, etc... I miss my Gnome Fish, and all the pretty icons, but I'm trading that all for the functionality that KDE offers.
Gnome does have a bright future, and I will stay with whatever scratches my itch.
And yes, I am a bit annoyed with the Kontinual lack of Kreativity both camps show in the naming of their apps.
The saga continues, with version .905 released yesterday. I will be playing with it over the next few weeks, it shows lots of promise.
As reflected in the timestamp on my last diary entry, I have recently had VERY little time to contribute to the OSS community. I have sent in a few patches, but I have certainly not spent "a significant amount of time on free software" which is a requirement for the Journeyer level of certification that I now hold.
In my opinion, I don't fall into the Apprentice category either, since I am not "still striving to acquire the skills and standing in the community".
I would like to maintain some position in the advogato trust metric, so I am at a loss as to what to do. I am currently an "observer", but to ask people to certify me as such would be to withdraw their certification, if I understand it correctly.
I was chatting with someone the other day and he (she?) said that advogato was getting a bit too ``I-just-installed-debian''... well, like they say, ``If you can't beat them...''
My Mandrake r128 bug bothered me enough to make me turn hardware acceleration off, when using the scroll bar the interface does freeze for a second then recovers. Yuck! I hope I can hold out until I can try to fix it. Anyway, I'm getting a new graphics card in Jan, so I should be alright then. I would try to recompile X, but I just don't have the time to look into it just now.
Finally got around to taking a look at what these guys have been doing, nice stuff... Blocklayout was much friendlier then I expected. I'll be taking it for a bit of a swing in the next few days (weeks?), I'll post my findings here.
What interests me the most is the possibility to use the core and create xaraya distros/bundles. I haven't seen what type of installer is coming, but it would be nice to have it modular, so that individual module developers, can create a ``distro'' with just their module (and the modules it depends on), and have it plug in to the installation procedure, without having to hack the actual installation code.
Good Luck!

Foreprint shorter, 3" (75 mm) long and almost as wide; claws show on all 5 toes. Tracks are relatively large for animal's size because Common Raccoon is flat-footed, like bears and humans. Stride 620" (1550 cm), averaging 14" (35 mm). When walking, animal's left hindfoot print is almost beside right forefoot. When running, makes many short, lumbering bounds, bringing hindfeet down ahead of forefeet in a pattern similar to that of squirrel tracks.
Sign Crayfish leavings along shores, streams, or ponds; broken stalks, shredded husks, scattered kernels, and gnawed cob ends in cornfields.
Den: Usually a hollow tree, sometimes with scratched or torn bark around entrance; may have scat accumulated at base. Fissures, burrows, old chimneys or buildings, and other protected spots may also be used.
Scat: Droppings inconsistent in shape but generally cylindrical, uniform in diameter, about 2" (50 mm) long; granular, varying from black to reddish and sometimes bleached white. Scat resembles that of Virginia Opossum and skunks, but is often deposited on logs, large tree limbs, or stones crossing a stream. Several families of Raccoons may use a "latrine" area where copious quantities of scat are deposited.

Shares of ARM Holdings (ARMH) are up $1.34, or 3.7%, at $37.75, Gareth Jenkins with UBS raised his rating on the stock to a Buy from a Hold, while maintaining a $44.25 price target, writing that "we do not see anything having fundamentally changed in the ARM investment case," even though worries have emerged that Intel (INTC) is getting stronger in mobile device chip deals, and Nvidia (NVDA) presents new competition for ARM's licensing business.
ARM stock is down half a percent this year, but up almost 56% in the last 12 months.
Jenkins concedes much of the stock's value hinges on out years, heightening uncertainty of fundamentals underlying the price:
Given the back-end loading of ARM's valuation (we estimate c.80% of the EV is driven by forecasting beyond 2020), it is understandable that the stock (-30% off its peak) is prone to respond to the vagaries of news-flow which potentially affects the company's long term earnings potential.
Jenkins thinks the broad maturation of the smartphone industry may crimp royalties, but not disastrously so:
Despite this we believe ARM can still grow its royalty rates in high- end handsets due to the rising royalty rates, particularly in the high-end. We believe rates could rise from the current 1.5% towards 3% and even 4% if ARM is successful with its Mali graphics product. Moreover, while low-end smart- phones carry much lower absolute ARM royalty revenue/device than the high- end (closer to $0.20 rather than the $0.60-0.70 of the high-end), it is still higher than the $0.05 that we believe ARM currently generates from feature-phones.
Although Intel has made strides in mobile, and has a process technology advantage, Intel still has to prove itself with design wins in the market place, he thinks:
A year ago ARM's stock performed poorly as Intel promoted its manufacturing prowess which coincided with capacity constraints at 28nm at the foundries. Roll forward a year and again Intel bulls/ARM bears have been keen to publish "benchmarking" from Intel's recent unveiling of its Silvermont architecture. Given these benchmarks are based on optimised Intel chips and against estimates of big.LITTLE (actual products were not available for benchmarking tests to be done), we would question the usefulness of such benchmarks until products are actually in the market and comparable. Indeed, we have seen similar benchmarks which clearly score the 1.8GHz Cortex A12 (ie not even the high end A57) ahead of the 2.4GHz Silvermont. The proof of the pudding will ultimately be in design wins but Intel is clearly getting into ball park and it is dangerous to dismiss the threat complacently when there are already successful Intel-based devices in the market (The Lenovo K900 has been a top 5 selling device in the Chinese smart-phone market). While Intel may lay claim to a significant advantage in 14nm production, and we do believe the company has a slight time to market advantage, ARM and TSMC have already taped-out 14nm (marketed as 16nm and actually 20nm FinFET) in 2013 for Cortex-A57. In addition, without the wide support of Samsung [Electronics (005930KS)] and Apple (AAPL) introducing Intel into its mainstream products it is difficult for Intel, globally, to gain substantial market share and is likely to remain just one chip vendor among many in the market.
As for competition from Nvidia, and MIPS, a unit of Imagination Imagination Technologies PLC (IMGLON), Jenkins this the "synergies" between ARM's graphics intellectual property and its CPU design business will continue to be an important advantage:
Two recent announcements from competitors have caused concerns around competition in the IP licensing industry. First, Cavium licensed the latest MIPS (recently acquired by Imagination) Release 5 architecture for its Octeon III product line. While we are not surprised by an existing licensee signing with its IP provider, it is noticeable that Cavium signed a v8 (64 bit) ARM architecture license in August 2012 raising the question as to whether processing becomes less sticky like graphics with multiple IP vendors selected. Indeed, we were impressed recently at Imagination's Technology Summit in Asia with the company's efforts to make Android apps compatible with MIPs (either ported or using MagicCode). It remains to be seen whether this will make a difference given the importance of the actual eco-system benefits enjoyed by ARM's partners across multiple fields. Similarly Nvidia, facing lost opportunities to ARM and Imagination, decided that it would license its graphics IP rather than selling its own proprietary graphics chip alongside its Tegra processor. We have highlighted the competitive nature of graphics historically and maintain this view though we would point out that ARM will increasingly attempt to technologically leverage the synergies between graphics and its core processing business and we believe full coherence between the two will be available within two years.

The UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) family of enzymes are involved in the metabolism of various compounds in the body. These enzymes transfer a hydrophilic glucuronic acid moiety to their substrates, rendering them more water soluble and suitable for excretion. The UGTs act on various endogenous substrates, such as bilirubin, β-estradiol, and testosterone, as well as xenobiotics and drugs, such as diclofenac, morphine and valproic acid. The function of these enzymes is essential for the clearance of drugs and other toxins from the body and alteration of UGT activity could potentially cause drug-drug interactions in vivo. There is an increasing interest in the activity of these enzymes and their involvement in drug metabolism. The current methods for assessing UGT enzyme activity are laborious and involve protein precipitation and/or chromatographic separation steps, which are not amenable to higher throughput screening applications for UGT inhibitors or activators. Here, we present a new bioluminescent assay system for measuring UGT enzyme activity in vitro. Our assay does not involve any protein precipitation or chromatographic steps and is easily performed in a multi-well plate format. We have shown the ability of our assay to measure activity of many recombinant UGT enzymes (including UGTs 1A1, 1A4, 1A6, 1A8, 1A9, 1A10, 2B7, and 2B15) as well as assessing endogenous UGT activities from animal tissue microsomes (including human liver, renal, and intestinal microsomes, as well as mouse and rat liver microsomes). We were able to detect inhibition by compounds known to inhibit numerous isozymes (diclofenac) and we verified published data showing that some isozymes are inhibited by the HIV protease inhibitors liponavir and ritonavir while other isozymes are relatively unaffected. Assay variability, as measured by Z′ values, have been calculated for UGT 1A1 [Z′ = 0.83] and UGT 2B7 [Z′ = 0.67]. Our new assay format could greatly increase the throughput for assessing UGT activity and enable efficient screening of UGT isozymes against compound libraries.

I am planning an out of state hunt for 2011- starting my search now.
What I am needing is some ideas on guide service. I am not looking for cheapest, but the best value. I have hunted MO with Arrowmaster and had a good time and it was a great value.
After talking with a couple of buddies of mine we want to head somewhere with a different spiecies of turkey we can't kill here in Indiana. My thoughts are SD, NE, KS, OK and TE. If you know of a great service and have the experiences there please feel free to forward that to me. We are open to semi-guided, no guide public hunts and fully guided.... Thank you in advance.
My email is email@example.com or you can post here or PM me.
Be safe!

Students also brought their families, and the children enjoyed the playground and bouncy house. Everyone enjoyed the cook-out and the delicious brownies. This was a great opportunity for all the classes to hang-out with each other, and listen to a local iconic band, Captain Rat & the Blind Rivets. Hessel Park is just one of the many beautiful parks courtesy of the Champaign Park District and Urbana Park District that are scattered all over the two cities. The parks provide a great place to spend time with your friends & family and to study. MBA1s will be MBA2s next year and will need to work hard to keep their title as the tug-of-war champions! stats442 Views 0 Comments additional actions Add Comment

Three easy steps make red, white and blue cupcakes ready for a grand celebration.
You can freeze the baked cupcakes tightly wrapped for up to two months.
Create an attractive display by covering a piece of sturdy cardboard with wrapping paper, then plastic food wrap. Stretch and secure with tape. Or cover cardboard with foil or cooking parchment paper.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

But not even being held captive by armed militants in Nigeria satisfied Junger's need for dangerous assignments. Along with photographer Tim Hetherington, he spent most of a 15-month tour of duty embedded with an Airborne unit stationed in the Korengal Valley, the deadliest war zone in Afghanistan. That's the subject of his new book, War (Twelve), and also of Restrepo, the intimate, harrowing documentary he made with Hetherington about men in combat.
The General McChrystal controversy must seem a little serendipitous with the release of the film. Do you think it has a special relevance now?
I don't know if it's special relevance. McChrystal wasn't even in yet when I was over there. In that sense, it's not relevant. But it's definitely bringing the war into the public conversation. I think it had been absorbed by the BP disaster for a while, and now it's back on Afghanistan. It's such a critical story. And it can play out in so many bad ways. It's probably good that — whatever it took, McChrystal or whatever — it's back on the center of the table again.
It never really has been since 2001. Then, it was off to Iraq. Afghanistan was the war that nobody cared to talk about.
I've been traveling to Afghanistan since 1996 to report, and in 2001, I was with the Northern Alliance, and the people in Kabul were just overjoyed. Apparently 90 percent of Afghans in 2002 approved of the American military actions in Afghanistan. They saw it as a way out from under the oppression of the Taliban. They hated the Taliban. It was completely squandered because we left [only] a few thousand troops there. There's 40,000 cops [just] in NYC. It wasn't going to work; the Afghans knew it wasn't going to work. I think a lot of their ambivalence about partnering with us was because they couldn't believe the low level of focus in the wake of 9/11, which [we thought] merited [only] 15,000 troops in Afghanistan. I think that literally blew their minds. For me, it's such a wasted opportunity. It's really tragic, for them and for us.
But that's all politics, which you have said you wanted to avoid when making this film.
We would have been happy to have politics in there had the soldiers been political about it. But they're not. Our sort of self-given mandate was to make a movie that shows what it's like to be a soldier in combat. Period. So the camera never leaves the sides of the soldiers. If there were situations where the soldiers were asking generals, "Sir, what are we doing here?", that would have been in the movie, absolutely. But they didn't do that.

Live and die by the three-pointer
The major difference in this week's games, aside from a win and a loss, was the Pirates ability to shoot the three-pointer. In the loss against UNCC, ECU made just six of 23 three-point attempts (26 percent - their lowest percentage of the season). Their inability to make perimeter shots was one of the main reasons why ECU lost its first game of the season.
They followed up that dismal shooting performance with a stellar one. The Pirates set a team record by making 18 three-pointers against St. Andrews on 36 attempts (50 percent) – their highest percentage of the season). That was a big reason why the Pirates held a 30-point lead for almost the entirety of the second half.
It may be a bit of a no-brainer, but if the Pirates want to leave Chapel Hill with a victory, they are going to need to make the most of their three-point opportunities.
Rebounding a problem in tough times
Throughout this 6-1 start, the Pirates have really only had two tough games. In a come-from-behind win over UNCG and in the loss to UNCC, ECU was troubled by poor rebounding play. These were the only two games thus far that the Pirates have been out-rebounded (31-to-34 and 21-to-45 respectively).
In both of these contests, ECU was also on the losing end of the offensive rebound category (7-to-10 and 2-to-14 respectively), which could be proof that the Pirates are at their best when they are getting it done in the paint. Outside of these two games, the Pirates have led in both total and offensive rebounds in every appearance (totaling 226 rebounds to the opponents' 169 in five games).
The biggest test is yet to come…
The Pirates are 10 days away from their biggest game of the year. The Dec. 15 game against UNC has been circled on the calendar since the schedules were released. This is ECU's time to prove its worth on the court, against its toughest opponent. In order to win, the Pirates will need to stand their ground inside, and not be afraid to shoot the three-ball.
UNC has shown this season that they have weaknesses that can be exploited. Add a few significant injuries to that (a less-than-100-percent Marcus Paige and Dexter Strickland for example), and it's possible for the Pirates to steal an in-state victory. Stay tuned, it's going to be a wild one in Chapel Hill.

* Games: the shortest and the longest chess games, the most spectacular king marches and knight's tours, the longest sequence of checks and the records for multiple pawn promotions.
* People: charts meteoric careers and falls from grace, lists some of the luckiest and unluckiest players in history, and reports the chess achievements of famous people from scientists to monarchs, musicians to footballers.
* Tournaments, matches and events: lists the most peaceful and most bloodthirsty contests, the most persistent chess traditions, and those mysterious games that never happened but still appear in magazines and books.
* Around the chequered board: contains a miscellany of chess records, such as records for simultaneous displays and the record number of mistakes in a chess publication.
Packed with entertaining facts and figures, annotated games and biographical details, this book is a must for all chess lovers.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA Rulemaking
After months of negotiations, Tom Wheeler—the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)—thinks it's about time for consumers to be able to unlock their phones without fear of breaking the law. He made that much clear in a letter sent Thursday [pdf] to the president and CEO of CTIA, the industry group that maintains a Consumer Code that most carriers follow. In that letter, Wheeler proposes a December deadline for CTIA to update that code to include meaningful unlocking provisions—or face FCC regulations.
Forget extra cupholders or power windows: the new Renault Zoe comes with a "feature" that absolutely nobody wants. Instead of selling consumers a complete car that they can use, repair, and upgrade as they see fit, Renault has opted to lock purchasers into a rental contract with a battery manufacturer and enforce that contract with digital rights management (DRM) restrictions that can remotely prevent the battery from charging at all.
Is it possible that last year's disastrous Supreme Court decision affirming the withdrawal of millions of works from the public domain (at least in the U.S.) might set the stage for good constitutional challenges to bad copyright law? That's the argument that copyright scholar Neil Netanel makes in a recent article on the impact of that case on the First Amendment.
According to Netanel, one often-overlooked aspect of the opinion is that the Court explicitly identified fair use as an essential "First Amendment accommodation" that cannot be disturbed if copyright law is to survive First Amendment scrutiny. In the process, the Court may have poked a hole in the already shaky constitutional justifications for anti-user sections of copyright law.
Update 7/31: After a week's delay and some additional minor amendments, the bill has now passed out of committee. We'll keep you posted as the legislation continues to wend its way through Congress.
Original post July 23, 2013:
The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold a markup session today for HR 1123, Chairman Bob Goodlatte's "Unlocking Consumer Choice" bill addressing the current (and wildly unpopular) ban on phone unlocking. Unfortunately, although Chairman Goodlatte has introduced a manager's amendment [pdf] that somewhat improves bill, this legislation still doesn't go far enough in bringing about sorely needed reform to a fundamentally broken section of copyright law.
Congress looks poised to create a new legal shield for mobile phone unlocking, making it clear that people who switch wireless carriers won't face civil suits or criminal penalties under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. That legal protection was taken away by a ruling from the Librarian of Congress last October. In a hearing tomorrow morning, a subcommittee of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee will hear from witnesses about a bill to bring it back - at least temporarily. It's a no-brainer that people should be able to use the phones they own on the networks of their choice, as everyone from the wireless carriers to consumer advocates to the White House agrees.

Thread: rena xp2 problem
rena xp2 problem
My grandma has a rena XP2 that she said is not pumping like it use to. She has cleaned the filter, impeller and made sure the hose's were not clogged. However, she is still saying it is pumping slower than is use to. This pump is ~6 months old. Many years ago I had a similar problem with my xp3 but never tried to figure it out... I just went to saltwater :-)
Any suggestions on what I can tell her to try?300g + 240g in wall build! - Follow Here
120g SW Reef, LED lights, cool fish and corals!
0Originally Posted by jeffs99dime
Btw, I disagree with the above.
The rationale for the arrangement specified by Rena [Or any canister manufacturer actually] is simple.
It's so that you have the Mech filtration [The sponges] BEFORE the Biological filtration [biomedia] in order to have the cleanest water possible flowing over the biomedia.
This is to prevent to pores of the ceramics [Where the BB live] from becoming clogged with detritus and artificially limiting the the medias BB capacity.
If you were to have the bio media first all of the physical particulate matter that gets picked up by the filter is simply slammed into your biomedia and immediately begins clogging its microscopic pores beyond usefulness. So um .. Don't do that you know.
This is worth repeating - You ALWAYS want the cleanest water possible flowing over your biomedia.
If it hasn't been done: One thing I would suggest that she give her sponges a solid rinsing under running warm water and then be sure to dunk/rinse them in dechlored water. I imagine they are pretty gunked up by now. Rinsing the biomedia in the dechlor water wouldn't hurt at this point either.
While you have all the media out of it.. Do test it to see if the flow improves as this will help you to determine if it's an impeller issue or due to clogged media/flow disruption elsewhere.

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

Also, clean the hoses, but after only 6 months I wouldnt think thats the problem.
My XP3 developed horrible flow and I couldnt believe the stuff I got out of the hoses. After a hose cleaning, all was back to normal.

By The Associated Press
QUANTICO, Va. — A Marine who shot two of his colleagues to death and then killed himself was a tactics instructor at a school that tests Marines who want to become officers, military officials said Saturday.
Sgt. Eusebio Lopez, 25, gunned down 19-year-old Lance Cpl. Sara Castromata and Cpl. Jacob Wooley, 23, on Thursday night inside barracks at the Marine Corps Base Quantico in northern Virginia. Other than to say the three Marines worked together at the school, military officials have not described their relationship or released a motive for the shooting.
Lopez, of Pacifica, Calif., was a teacher whose specialty was machine gunner. He joined the corps in May 2006 and deployed in support of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Castromata, of Oakley, Calif., was a warehouse clerk who had been in the Marines since December 2011. Wooley, a Corinth, native, was a field radio operator. He joined the Marines in February 2010.
Wooley's Facebook page was filled Friday with tributes to his life and dedication to the Marines.
Jessica Wildman, a Corinth resident who grew up with Wooley in the Alcorn County school system, said he was "an amazing young man."
"I spent the majority of my time with him during our childhood," she said. "He had so much energy and made everyone around him smile. Jacob had a way with people and a gift from God to touch lives."
Lopez was an instructor at officer candidates school, known for its grueling 10-week program that evaluates Marines on physical stamina, intelligence and leadership. The candidates must complete obstacle courses, hikes of up to 12 miles in full combat gear and take classes on navigation and tactics that help them in the field, according to the school's website.
Lopez's great-grandfather, also Eusebio Lopez, said the Marines contacted their family on Friday night.
"They told us they were investigating more, and they'd let us know. He wasn't the type to do stuff like that," said Lopez, 81.
From the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Va. …
MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. – Three Marines assigned to Officer Candidates School were killed in a shooting incident at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., shortly after 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 21, 2013.
Notification of the next of kin for the deceased Marines has been completed.
Provided below are the names of the casualties:
Lance Cpl. Sara Castromata, 19, of Oakley, Calif., served as a warehouse clerk. She joined the Marine Corps in December 2011, and was promoted to her current rank in February 2013. Castromata's awards include the National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and Good Conduct Medal. She had not deployed.
Corporal Jacob Wooley, 23, of Guntown, Miss., was a field radio operator. He joined the Marine Corps in February 2010 and was promoted to his current rank in July 2012. Wooley's awards include the Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon. He had not deployed.
Sergeant Eusebio Lopez, 25, of Pacifica, Calif., was a tactics instructor at the school, and his military occupational specialty was machine-gunner. He joined the Marine Corps in May 2006 and was promoted to his current rank in July 2011. Lopez's awards include the Combat Action Ribbon, Navy Unit Commendation 3rd award, Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation, Good Conduct Medal 2nd award, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Humanitarian Service Medal and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon 4th award. He had deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

2009 Starboard iSonic 111
Early planing and especially the ability to maintain planing are excellent. It simply tracks solidly off the rail, delivering superb gliding qualities. In chop, the Starboard doesn't bounce around like the Exocet/Mistral/Tabou, it has a finer touch and keeps a high level of speed. Its excellent overall speed in all tacks and all conditions is what makes it rewarding on a race course. It's extremely versatile and has the ability to pull ahead of the game no matter what the conditions.
2009 Starboard Evil Twin 74
The Evil Twin planes up early and keeps planing well. It feels both responsive and smooth. Quite directional, it feels easy and lively and also tracks better than other twins. It offers a lot of speed on the bottom turn. It can drive off the front foot on long bottoms and can switch to the tail for vertical snaps. What is extraordinary is its ability to close your bottom turns tight. It's like a mix of the Evo that pivots more and twin fins that carve more. Among the very best boards for side and side–onshore conditions. Accessible and radical, it will appeal to many. An excellent board to discover a new style in surfing.
2009 Starboard Evo 75
Thanks to its extremely light construction, it takes off early and sails without effort. Ultra smooth on the water, it has a beautiful touch. In waves, the Evo is both versatile and radical. The surf is smooth with lots of power. More versatile in different conditions than most boards, the 2009 Evo 75 now has a superior level of comfort, performance and radicalism thanks to its new construction technology. It targets a very wide user range, it's both easy and radical, it fits both side shore or onshore conditions. The brand's most complete wave.

Nias people
Nias, Indonesia
Commemorative maternity figure
[gowe or behu lawolo]
19th century or earlier
88.5 (h) x 31.0 (w) x 21.5 (d) cm
National Museum of Ethnology, Leiden
On Nias, impressive stone statues are carved in honour of ancestors and as a marker of a patron's status and wealth. Depicting a woman embracing her infant, this rare stone figure glorifies the fecundity of the individual woman portrayed rather than an ancestral or guardian spirit synonymous with fertility.
Across Southeast Asia, maternity images are symbols of prosperity and spiritual harmony. A celebration of fertility and continuity, this woman's sexual and reproductive potency is explicitly acknowledged by her full and pointed breasts and by the small child she holds. Probably the wife of a powerful chief, the woman is depicted wearing lavish gold accoutrements in the form of bangles, ear ornaments and a heavy neck piece. The first event in the cycle of feasts of merit often honours the patron's wife.

I would agree with what was said earlier. If you aren't winning enough ribbons to be satisfied, you probably wouldn't be winning too much cash either.
You'd just add the increased entry fees as another reason to see it as nearly impossible.
I'd be the first to agree that Field Trials can be very frustrating, but every once in awhile there is hardly anything that's better. The finances are the worst until you realize that it's a little easier with money, but money is only a small part of it. A lot of things have to happen to be successful.

"Field trials are not a game for good dogs. They're for great dogs with great training." E. Graham
Our games will never be for a purse. In order for a purse you have to have revenue. TV, paid admission, gambling, or entry fees would have to provide for the purse. Dog games fail at each......Thank God.
But can you imagine the hell that would break loose on here Sunday nite about the judges picking a winner for a test.....Now that would be worth the cost of admission. Wouldn't be peanuts around here, it would be grenades.
I have learned I need these dogs much more than they need me. Tim Bockmon
I love Gooser's posts - yes, it puts into perspective.
Their right, money changes everything and it changes the participants, but no matter your "hobby", it all costs money. For 5 years we participated in shoot to retrieve events, they are WAY more expensive to participate in than HRC as far as daily entry fees, because the payouts have to come from somewhere.

I can't believe you actually posted this on this site. Were you just trying to "stir the perverbial pot"? Sometimes it is best to keep you opinions to yourself and this would fall into that category. It's never about the money! I started training about 2 years ago and absolutely love it. It has become such a staple at our house my 2.5 y/o daughter cries when she cannot go and train with us. My 8 y/o son is the worlds best bird boy and I enjoy spending quality time with home during training sessions and club training days. My wife and I often go to HT's together and spend quality time together while waiting to run. In my opinion the happiness that this brings to our family is "priceless" and no amount of money can replace that!!!!!!

I have these jackets hanging in my closet. The first one I got was for Cinn (my first lab and one of the most expensive jackets I will probably ever own). Then I got one for Schooner which was even more special because it was for him earning 1,000 HRC points. Just last week I finally got an extremely special jacket for Wagars earning 1,500 HRC points. If I were to sit down and figure the cost of those jackets over the years, I could probably pay off my house.
Then last weekend I took my youngest dog Soul and we ran our first Derby together. My goal was for him to sit for the shot flyer in the first series. Not only did he sit for the shot flyer in the first but he was playing. Then he was still playing in the 2nd and then the 3rd and went out on the last bird of the last series. I was so proud of him and we had a blast.
All of the joy and friends that these dogs and the dog games have brought into my life over the 20 years cannot be replaced by money. And I am one of those "broke folks" referenced in a previous post.

More on Semmy Schilt's Future
- Written by Dave Walsh
Sometimes with Kickboxing timing is everything, and right now it is very clear to see why GLORY would feel it an inopportune time for one of their Heavyweight stars, Semmy Schilt, to no longer be an active fighter. While Semmy might not be the most fan-favorite fighter in the world, he is seen as one of the best Heavyweight Kickboxers of all time, with the credentials to match.
Yesterday we discussed the very real rumor of Semmy Schilt being retired, as we heard from sources very close to Schilt that he was having health issues and decided to no longer fight. This did not come as a surprise to us in the least, as Schilt had already been talking about no longer participating in tournaments and there was talk of him maybe fighting once or twice more before calling an end to his career.
GLORY's CEO discussed a few things with MMAMania's Brian Hemminger, one of the questions was about Schilt's retirement, to which he had this to say;
"As far as I know, he's on our active roster and that is certainly the case until he tells us. As far as we know, which is pretty close to the source, he hasn't announced anything at all that would prompt us to pick up the phone and give him a ring. As far as we can see, the press on the story has no primary sources whatsoever so until we hear it from Semmy, we're really excited to have him as a champion with us every since he came on board and signed with us."
While we respect Mr. Whittaker and his position, there were indeed primary, reliable sources on this. We've discussed the issue more with our sources, who've yet to actually be wrong in many years, and it was revealed that Schilt is indeed healthy now, but has still decided not to continue his fighting career. A statement from him has been expected, but possibly due to the Spike TV deal it will be delayed.
