LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Coming off a historic series win at Florida to open Southeastern Conference play, No. 8 Kentucky will open its home league schedule by welcoming No. 14 Mississippi State for a three-game series, with first pitch on Friday set for 6:30 p.m. ET at Cliff Hagan Stadium. The series will resume on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET and conclude on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
All three games will be broadcast live on the UK IMG Radio Network, with Dick Gabriel calling the action.

The game on Saturday will be televised live on Fox Sports, with Bob Kesling and Nick Belmonte calling the action.
Kentucky (16-4, 2-1 SEC) is coming off the series win at Florida to open conference play, its first series win in Gainesville since 1999. UK then suffered a 6-3 midweek loss to Western Kentucky on Tuesday, as the Hilltoppers plated three runs in the first and held off a late UK rally for the win.
UK will send its regular weekend rotation of sophomore southpaw A.J. Reed (2-2, 2.84 ERA) to the mound on Friday, senior lefty Jerad Grundy (4-1, 1.93 ERA) on Saturday and junior left-hander Corey Littrell (3-0, 2.84 ERA) to the mound on Sunday. Mississippi State will counter with dynamic sophomore southpaw Jacob Lindgren (2-0, 1.85 ERA) on Friday, junior righty Evan Mitchell (0-1, 2.75 ERA) on Saturday and senior right-hander Kendall Graveman (2-1, 2.36 ERA) on Sunday.
A native of Terre Haute, Ind., Reed has made five Friday-night starts for the Wildcats. The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder has worked 28.2 innings, allowing 30 hits and five walks, striking out 21. In Reed's two-year UK career, he has a 7-5 record and a 2.62 ERA in 82.1 innings, walking 14 and striking out 72. Last Friday night at Florida, Reed turned in one of his best career starts in a hard-luck loss. He worked 6.1 innings and allowed six hits and four runs - one earned - walking one and striking out five. Reed took a 1-1 game into the seventh inning before UK committed three errors to allow the three decisive unearned runs to cross the plate in the 4-1 UF win. Lindgren has made five series-opening starts, working 24.1 innings and allowing only 15 hits and four walks, striking out 29. Last Friday night vs. LSU, Lindgren worked 5.2 innings, allowing five hits and three runs, striking out seven. Lindgren worked 5.1 innings in relief against UK in the regular-season finale in 2012, allowing three hits and one run, striking out seven.
Grundy, a native of Johnsburg, Ill., has made five starts on the weekend for UK in 2013, The 6-foot-1, 200-pound lefty has worked in 32.2 innings, allowing only 21 hits and eight walks, striking out 28 and holding opponents to a .184 average. In his two-year UK career Grundy has made 21 weekend starts, hurling 118.1 innings, walking 44 and striking out 91. In Grundy's last start, he worked his fourth quality start of the season, tossing six innings, allowing six hits and three runs, walking four in 82 pitches. Grundy allowed three runs on five hits in the first two innings, before settling down to allow just one run over the last four innings as UK rallied for the comeback win. Grundy made two starts vs. Mississippi State last year, one in Starkville to conclude the regular season and one in the SEC Tournament. Grundy had a 1-1 record in those two starts with a 4.22 ERA, striking out 14 in 10.2 innings. In his first start vs. MSU, Grundy worked 4.2 innings, allowing four hits and four runs, walking four and striking out five and MSU used a three-run fourth for a 4-3 win to clinch the series. In the SEC Tournament, Grundy tossed six strong innings, allowing only four hits and one run, walking two and striking out a then-career high nine. Evan Mitchell has made five weekend starts, tossing 19.2 innings, allowing only eight hits and 16 walks, striking out 23. On Saturday vs. MSU, Evan Mitchell worked four innings and allowed one hit and three runs - two earned - walking three and striking out four. In the regular-season finale in 2012, Evan Mitchell worked 2.2 innings in a start vs. UK, allowing three hits and two unearned runs, walking two and striking out four.
Littrell, a native of Louisville, Ky., has made five Sunday starts for UK, working 31.2 innings, allowing 32 hits and eight walks, striking out 31. A 6-foot-3, 190-pound southpaw, Littrell has made 37 appearances with 34 starts, posting an 18-8 record and a 4.21 ERA. He has tossed 199 innings, allowing 62 walks and striking out 169. In his last start, Littrell worked a career-long eight innings in a rubber-match win at Florida, allowing 10 singles and just one run, not issuing a walk and striking out seven. Littrell made a pair of starts vs. MSU last year, at Starkville and in the SEC Tourney. He worked 4.1 innings in the regular-season finale at MSU, allowing seven hits and seven runs - five earned - walking one and striking out six. In the SEC Tourney, Littrell tossed a quality start in a hard-luck, 2-1 loss, working six innings, allowing six hits and two runs, walking two and striking out six. Graveman has made five starts for MSU, tossing 26.2 innings, allowing 23 hits and 11 walks, striking out 20. Graveman is coming off a quality start in a win over LSU on Sunday, working six innings, allowing seven hits and one run, walking three and striking out four. Graveman started against UK in Starkville in 2012 going 3.2 innings, allowing five hits and two runs, striking out two. Graveman also started in 2012 in the SEC Tournament, allowing six hits and two runs in 2.1 innings, striking out one.

The Bulldogs swept UK to conclude the 2012 regular-season, with UK needing just one win to win the 2012 SEC Championship. UK and MSU then split the two meetings in the SEC Tournament, with MSU winning the semifinal to advance to the championship round. UK was led during the five games with MSU by Thomas McCarthy, who hit .540 (9-for-20). Riddle is UK's returning leader against MSU, batting .333 with a homer and six RBI.

EMS Telecommunicators
Boston EMS Dispatch Operations is co-located with the Boston Police 9-1-1 center at Boston Police Headquarters. Most 9-1-1 calls are initially received by Boston Police or Massachusetts State Police call takers. If a call is identified as medical in nature it is transferred to specially-trained Boston EMS Telecommunicators, who serve as the critical link between the public and the EMS crews on the street. All call-takers are uniformed EMTs who have received an additional 19 weeks of specialized training in Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD).
EMS Telecommunicators verify EMS calls, determine their location, dispatch the appropriate units, and provide callers with pre-arrival instructions which assist bystanders or patients in caring for illness and injury before Boston EMS arrives on scene. These instructions are as basic as gathering a patient's medications, or as extensive as guiding callers through CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation). Additionally, through the "AED Alert" system, EMS Telecommunicators are able to advise bystanders of nearby Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) to be used in the case of a cardiac arrest. This ensures each patient receives the best possible medical attention until trained responders arrive – often making the difference between life and death.
EMS Telecommunicators employ a wide range of skills and technological assets to provide the best service to citizens in need. They are trained in mass casualty incident coordination and can communicate with Fire, Police and EMS agencies across the State. They operate the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system which is shared with the Boston Police Department and the Boston Fire Department.
Metro-Boston CMED
Boston EMS operates the Metro-Boston Central Medical Emergency Direction (CMED) system providing coordination between EMS field providers and area hospitals throughout the 62 cities and towns in the metropolitan Boston area. Boston EMS telecommunicators staff the CMED Center 24-hours a day linking field providers to hospitals, managing EMS channel usage, providing EMS resource information, and offering command and control assistance during mass casualty incidents or disaster response in cooperation with on-scene commanders.

i made this for the men at the church last week as we cooked pork bar-b-que.
this is along the lines of the duck commander gumbo but a little different.
first you need to make a roe. this is the base of the gumbo and is the most difficult step.
to make the roe start with 3 cups of flour and three cups of peanut oil. on medium low heat you cook this until it reaches a dark chocolate color. if it starts to smoke or boil reduce the heat or remove from heat until it cools down. if you scorch or burn the roe then you must start over and this process takes about an hour to reach the desired color.
once the roe reaches the color of a hershy bar add: four to five cups of green onions and three medium size white onions that have been chopped fine. also add at this time one whole large garlic smached or
minced. let simmer for ten minutes.
while all this is going on you need to boil about seven big ducks skin on in two separt large pots for about an hour to hour and a half along with salt ,black pepper and one bay leaf. your ducks need to be done when your roe is ready so you need to start your duck duck about one hour before you began cooking your roe. peel all the meat from the bones including skin and fat and add it to your gumbo along with three large packs of polish smoked sausage cut into chunks about the size of a quarter but just a tad thicker. pour most of the liquid that you boiled the ducks in into the gumbo. you are making about 4 gallons with this. the other pot you reserve most of the liguid to make your rice .
once you have added all of your ingredients add more black pepper and dont be shy with it plus two teaspoons of red ceyenne pepper plus one bottle of texas pete, salt, and a generous amount of tony chacheries cajun seasoning.
let everthing simmer for about 4.5 to 5 hours. stiring gently every 45 minutes then add about 2 pounds of small shrimp to the mix and let it simmer for about another 45 minutes.
about thirty minutes before you get ready to serve boil your rice in the reserved duck liquid and serve along with the duck giblets in it.
fill a soup bowl about half full of rice and top off with a generous serving of gumbo. garnish with chopped green shalots more tony chacheries and texas pete and grated cheese. or if you are true louisanna duckman add filee which is shaved sasafrass root. either way this guarenteed to make a puppy break his chain.
i made 4 gallons of this stuff and less than a half pint was left.

Which Emerging Markets Are Most Vulnerable To The Fed Taper?
For each emerging market, Morningstar analyst Francisco Torralba looks at four metrics 1. current account deficit (as a percentage of GDP over the past three years); 2. portfolio gross inflow relative to FDI inflow; 3. total and short-term external debt (as a percentage of GDP); 4. domestic credit relative to the GDP growth rate.
Torralba then averages all four metrics together, comes up with a composite score and ranks the emerging markets accordingly.
In terms of current account deficit - a measure of how much borrowing a country needs - Turkey ranked the highest, followed by India.
On portfolio inflow - a measure of "hot money" (portfolio money can be withdrawn more easily than foreign direct investments) - Mexico and Turkey are most exposed.
External debt - it is OK if a country has a lot of national debt (say Japan?) but the nation's finances become more susceptible if the debt is mostly held by foreigners - Turkey and Argentina rank the highest.
Credit growth - foreign "hot money" tends to be attracted to countries with fast credit growth - Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia were the worst.
When you tally all four categories together, Torralba concluded Turkey was most vulnerable, followed by Thailand, Mexico and Malaysia. Year-to-date, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) lost 6.6%. The Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) lost 7.5%. The iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR) lost 20.6%. The iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (EIDO) lost 25.2%. The iShares MSCI Thailand Capped ETF (THD) lost 12.1%.
The biggest drawback of this method is that it is backward looking. Torralba used data through the second quarter of 2013 only and does not use any forecasts. But it is a useful guideline for this week (Fed is meeting!).

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Jeff Bender is a professor of veterinary public health at the University of Minnesota, and his research interests lie in the intersection of animal health and human health, including animal-borne diseases of humans, food safety, and antibiotic resistant pathogens in animals. Dr. Bender will speak on "Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ( MRSA) in Veterinary Practice" at the American Society for Microbiology's General Meeting in Philadelphia this May.
To a microorganism, vertebrates can all look pretty similar. Dr. Bender's work focuses on pathogens that can make themselves at home in both human bodies and the bodies of our pets and livestock. Outbreaks of bacterial illnesses from meat products are well publicized these days, but the pathogens we have in common with animals don't just travel in one direction. We humans can pass organisms and diseases to our animals, too. Dr. Bender says pets treated at veterinary clinics, for example, have come down with painful MRSA skin infections they picked up from their owners. Fluffy might become a temporary reservoir of MRSA in your home – capable of reinfecting you and your family, but the good news is that she probably won't be a long term carrier of the bacterium.
In this interview, Dr. Merry Buckley asks Dr. Bender about MRSA in pets, whether farmers often get sick from animal-borne diseases, and whether he thinks it's a good idea to "go organic" when shopping for food.

Mathematica on tablet computer
I hope, that my queestion is not too much off topic for this group.
I'm planning to buy tablet PC (or netbook). My first candidate is ASUS Transformer Prime, but the problem is, that until now it is sold only with Android OS (it is promised, that it shall be sold with MS Windows 8 in the near future).
As a teacher I don't need any massive computation, but I realy do need Mathematica running on that device. I would like to ask group members if they have any personal experiences with Mathematica on such devices (tablet PCs or netbooks running Windows or Linux (not MacOS)).
The second question is for group members from Wolfram: Is Wolfram planning to sell also Android version of Mathematica in the future? If not, would it be teorethicaly possible to run Mathematica on Windows 8 running on ARM processor platform?
Thanks for any responses in advance

The LC9 did not have a recall, the LCP and the SR9 did. The Ruger LC9 is a good pistol. Recoil is very subjective, compared to a full size .40 I think if she can handle the .40 she will be able to handle the LC9. Although in my experiance much of recoil is assosiated with how the gun is gripped and this gun has a much shorter grip then a full size weapon. The biggest problem I see with the LC9 is so many people joke about it having a recall that it has become the almost truth. Ruger is a fine company and they do not hide the fact they have problems when they do like other companies do. LC( has not had a recall. not once.
If she likes it I would have no worries getting it for her if I were you. If my wife asked me for one and had held it and liked it I would spend our money on one for her in a minute.

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 106, September 27, 1996
T3D/T3E Timings
[ One of our T3D users, Dr. Alan Wallcraft of Stennis Space Center, contributes this article. ]
I have a couple of ocean model benchmark codes which Cray ran on both the T3D and T3E. The original used Fortran 77 and PVM message passing. Vendors are allowed to modify the code, but I don't know to what extent Cray did so. One change they made was to use the Fortran 90 compiler and REAL*4 throughout, since ocean models typically run with 32-bit REALs. The benchmarks use the same basic code but at two sizes, (i) a small 1/2 degree global ocean case, and (ii) a much larger 1/16th degree global case. Since the T3E typically has twice as much memory per node as the T3D, Cray ran on half as many nodes on the T3E. This makes direct node for node comparisons trickier, but even assuming only a 1.8x speedup when doubling the number of nodes (which is about the minimum expected for this kind of code) the T3E is about 3.3x faster than the T3D. This is a very good speedup, particularly since the compiler is presumably still better tuned for the T3D than the T3E (i.e. the T3E compiler will probably improve as it matures). Peak T3E hardware performance is 4x the T3D (600 Mflops vs 150 Mflops).

Barriers Revisited
I have found that my intuition regarding the TEST_BARRIER, SET_BARRIER, and WAIT_BARRIER functions was off (see the next article). I've done some more work and come up with a better understanding.
By way of introduction, what do you think the following program will do if compiled for four PEs and run on the T3D?
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc program wait1 intrinsic MY_PE call WAIT_BARRIER () print*, MY_PE(), " done." end ccccccc
It terminates normally:
denali$ a.out 0 done. 2 done. 3 done. 1 done.
How about this?
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc program wait2 intrinsic MY_PE logical TEST_BARRIER print*, MY_PE(), " Before: TEST_BARRIER()= ", TEST_BARRIER() if (MY_PE() .EQ. 0) then call SET_BARRIER () else call sleep (5) call WAIT_BARRIER () endif print*, MY_PE(), " After: TEST_BARRIER()= ", TEST_BARRIER() end ccccccc
It terminates normally, with this output:
denali$ a.out 1 Before: TEST_BARRIER()= T 3 Before: TEST_BARRIER()= T 2 Before: TEST_BARRIER()= T 0 Before: TEST_BARRIER()= T 0 After: TEST_BARRIER()= F 1 After: TEST_BARRIER()= T 3 After: TEST_BARRIER()= T 2 After: TEST_BARRIER()= T
And this?
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc program barr1 intrinsic MY_PE if (MY_PE() .EQ. 0) then call sleep (5) call barrier () call barrier () else call SET_BARRIER () call SET_BARRIER () call SET_BARRIER () call SET_BARRIER () call barrier () endif print*, MY_PE(), " done." end ccccccc
It hangs on the second barrier call in PE0, and must be interrupted:
denali$ a.out 2 done. 1 done. 3 done. Interrupt Beginning of Traceback (PE 0): Started from address 0x20000c0514 in routine '_sma_deadlock_wait'. Called from line 78 (address 0x20000c0720) in routine 'barrier'. Called from line 8 (address 0x20000001a4) in routine 'WAIT'. Called from line 363 (address 0x2000003e08) in routine '$START$'. End of Traceback. ---
I wrote these little programs to demonstrate specific features of the barrier calls. Here are some general observations followed by a description of barrier states and transitions.
- Setting a barrier on one PE does NOT set it on any other PEs.
- The SET_BARRIER() call sets the local barrier unless all of the other PEs have already set their barriers, in which case, it clears the barriers on all PEs, all at once. On the T3D, this takes place in hardware, and is extremely fast, regardless of the number of PEs involved.
- While a barrier is set, extra calls to SET_BARRIER() have no effect and are not enqueued for later.
- Calling TEST_BARRIER() or WAIT_BARRIER() has no effect on the state of the barrier.
- The basic "BARRIER()" call is probably safer and easier to use than SET, WAIT, and TEST.
The local barrier can be in one of two states:
- CLEAR: in which a "WAIT_BARRIER()" call will NOT block and a "TEST_BARRIER()" call will return TRUE.
- SET: in which a "WAIT_BARRIER()" call WILL block and a "TEST_BARRIER()" call will return FALSE.
Start state: CLEAR: all programs start with all PE processes in the barrier state, CLEAR. Transitions: 1) CLEAR ==> CLEAR: any other (i.e., non-local) PE calls "SET_BARRIER()." 2) CLEAR ==> SET: occurs when the local PE calls "SET_BARRIER()." 3) SET ==> SET: any other PE, except for the last remaining PE, calls "SET_BARRIER()." 4) SET ==> SET: any other PE which has already called "SET_BARRIER()" calls it again. 5) SET ==> SET: the local PE calls "SET_BARRIER()" again. 6) SET ==> CLEAR: occurs when the last remaining PE calls "SET_BARRIER()". This could be the local PE, in which case, the transitions from CLEAR ==> SET and back from SET ==> CLEAR happen atomically. -------------------------------------------------------
For anyone who is interested, here is my main testing program. It lets you set barriers on different PEs at different times, and overlap barrier segments, as you wish.

Corrected Barrier Timing Program
In last week's Newsletter, I presented a program to do a timing comparison between eurekas and barriers. As noted, the program occasionally hangs. I speculated: "I think the problem is that the barrier calls are too close together, and once in a while a "set" goes undetected at some process' "wait." Sure enough, as explained in the preceding article, extra SET_BARRIER() calls have no effect, and thus I had introduced a synchronization bug into the program.Frank Chism of CRI rightfully called me on this, and sent in email and a debugged version of the program. Here is an part of Frank's message and the program:
> > Use of the fully asynchronous barrier routines can introduce very subtle > bugs if you are not careful to be sure that all branches fully satisfy > not only the setting of barriers but properly wait for them to complete > before allowing termination.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ If you work at computers all day (for years), how can you reduce eye-strain? }} # When pressed, ARSC staff were happy to respond. Some tips: - Every 5-60 minutes, look up from the screen and focus (for several seconds) on something distant. - Use dark "wallpaper." On text screens, use dark background with bright foreground. Here's a suggested xterm setting: WINTERM='xwsh -name winterm -fn -*-screen-bold-r-normal--18-*-*-*-m-100-iso8859-1 -bg black -fg white -bold cyan'. - Use large fonts and sit further back. - Blink often. - Use eye-drops. - Roll your eyes. - Get a monitor lens. This is from a Cornell study (available at: http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicles/5.2.96/filters.html ): "After using a glass anti-glare filter, the percentage of daily or weekly problems related to lethargy/tiredness, tired eyes, trouble focusing eyes, itching/watery eyes and dry eyes was half what they were before filter use for people who use computer monitors all day at work, said ergonomist Alan Hedge, professor of design and environmental analysis and director of the Human Factors Laboratory at Cornell." Q: What's an easy way to remove all the 'core' and 'mppcore' files in any of your directories (but have 'rm' ask before removing)?[ Answers, questions, and tips graciously accepted. ]

Well, thanks to Sarge I've got a badass (soon to be) MH with the resin RF, and thanks to Terminal I now have a nice aluminum stalk. The problem, hopefully a small one, is that the mounting area for the stalk only leaves about 1/8 of an inch on either side of the RF and I'm afraid it's going to be a pain to Dremel and keep structural integrity on the resin... help!
Do I shorten/trim the mounting piece on the stalk? How have some of you done it?

Please join us for a screening of 111 Girls (Iran, 2012), directed by Nahid Ghobadi and Bijan Zmanpira. Pizza and soft drinks will be available at 6:15pm. The film will start at 6:30pm. About 111 Girls: A government official, carrying a message from Iran's president, travels across Iranian Kurdistan with his driver and a young guide on a mission to stop 111 young Kurdish women from committing suicide in protest against conditions that have left them spinsters. Racing against the clock, they travel into territory simmering with resentment at official neglect and the hardship it has sown among a proud people. Against a dramatically colorful physical and human landscape, wistful longing mingles with dreamlike desire and absurdist humor as the three travelers meander helplessly in a land riddled with contradictions.

Thebault-Spieker Conducts Rural Data Collection and Research
Posted by Jayce Koester '16, Center for Small Towns on Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2013
Abbie Thebault-Spieker '16, Bemidji, is working with the University of Minnesota, Morris's Center for Small Towns (CST) to conduct research surrounding a multitude of closed, repurposed and abandoned school buildings in west central Minnesota. Over the past few decades there has been a rise in the number of closed school buildings throughout the region. The CST Advisory Council, a group of leaders in the rural development industry with a focus on guiding CST to relevant issues, targeted this as an area needing more exploration.
The council took an interest in abandoned and inoperative schools as it received more calls on the topic. After deciding that data on the issue needed to be found, analyzed, and catalogued, CST hired Thebault-Spieker as a student employee, adding Zak Threadgill '15, Anoka, and Joe Feely '14, Farmington somewhat later. Their tasks include calling communities, school districts, and private groups to collect data in addition to recording the information.
The team is working closely with Kelly Asche, CST community program specialist. They aim to compile a complete qualitative and quantitative report as well as best practices for area communities that have experienced the loss of a local school.
The Center for Small Towns states that the goal of the project is to help small towns make informed decisions that fit the needs of their community. They believe the benefits of this work are wide and broad. According to Asche, "the overall goal is to give small communities information and ideas on what they can do with their buildings and, hopefully, give them a framework to help them decide on next steps." He emphasized how important it is that small towns have precedent to examine as well as a variety of data and resources. Thebault-Spieker added that the team hopes to "help communities reach a consensus or conclusion about what to do with their old buildings."
The University of Minnesota, Morris Center for Small Towns (CST) is a community outreach program that serves as a point-of-entry to the resources of the University of Minnesota. Small towns, local units of government, k-12 schools, nonprofit organizations, and other University units are able to utilize the Center's resources as they work on rural issues or make contributions to rural society. Their mission is to focus the University's attention and marshal its resources toward assisting Minnesota's small towns with locally identified issues by creating applied learning opportunities for faculty and students.

"When you look at some of the bad tackles that have been punished far less it's completely ludicrous. This is a professional game and we need professional people making professional decisions not these silly little men."
-- Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson on the English FA's regulatory commission after it reacted to the club's appeal to reduce
Jeremie Aliadiere's three-game ban by adding another game because the appeal was "frivolous." The four-game ban for what has been called a minor altercation with Liverpool's
Javier Mascherano means Aliadiere's ban is one game more than what Birmingham's Martin Taylor received for shattering the leg of Arsenal striker

MARKHAM, ON, Canada -- Unis reports that its new Cowboy Shootout game and recently introduced Veggie Blast are proving popular with operators.
Cowboy Shootout challenges players to engage multiple stationary and moving targets with a tethered laser-pointer pistol. It rewards fast, accurate shooting; hitting consecutive targets doubles the player's points, and any target hit during the final 10 seconds of play awards double points. The game may be set to dispense tickets or coupons, the latter requiring the installation of a printer.
Veggie Blast, designed primarily for children, presents an array of randomly moving vegetable creatures that the player must take under fire with a "force-feedback" pivoting gun shaped like an ear of corn, activated by two buttons on its control yoke. It is important to avoid hitting the bombs interspersed with the vegetables. Hidden "mini games" offer the chance to win additional tickets. "It's every kid's dream – blast the veggies and win points," the manufacturer explained. Veggie Blast made its debut at the recent EAG show in London.
Details on Unis games may be requested from general manager Steven Tan by calling (905) 477-2823 or U.S. sales manager Debbie Gonzalez at (714) 377-0508.

Are cellular technologies scalable? According to Phillip Vanek, Head of Innovation at Lonza Bioscience, the answer to this question is "yes", but only if scaling is considered very early in the technology's development. Vanek addressed the topic of scalability at his talk at the INBT symposium.
Scaling-up of bench-top science into industrial processes is difficult for a number of reasons. Commercial-scale production of cell-based products introduces regulatory challenges and production volumes never encountered on the bench scale. Even the basic laboratory chore of cell passage can become a large hurdle when attempting to grow large number of cells in the multi-layered cell factory system.
With such challenges in mind, Vanek lays out a number of ways to improve the success rate of scaling up processes. He stressed that a process should ideally be closed for maximum success. A closed process prevents product contamination and minimizes user error. Also, maximizing automation helps minimize operator error in processing.
Most importantly, the treatable patient pool sizes and dosage requirements need to be well-known for a process to be commercially successful. Vanek concluded that cellular technologies are scalable, but only if researchers start with end goals in mind early and are well-aware of potential pitfalls.
Editor's Note: This a summary of one of the talks from the 2013 Nano-bio Symposium hosted by Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology held May 17. This summary was written by Christian Pick, a doctoral candidate in the chemical and biomolecular engineering laboratory of Joelle Frechette. Look for other symposium summaries on the INBT blog.

Policy for the return of financial aid
Policy for the return of financial aid received through Title IV fundsFederal regulations require each educational institution of higher learning to have a written policy for the refund and repayment of aid received by students who withdraw from all classes during a term for which aid has been received. These policies are effective only if the student completely terminates enrollment (for example, the student voluntarily withdraws from all courses or is dismissed from all classes).
The term "Title IV funds" refers to the federal financial aid programs authorized under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended) and includes the following programs:
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
- Federal Subsidized/Unsubsidized William D. Ford Direct Loan Program (DL)
- Federal PLUS Loan
- The date the student officially notifies the institution of his/her intent to withdraw; or
- The student's last date of class attendance or at an academically-related activity, or
- The midpoint of the enrollment period for students who leave without notifying the institution (an unofficial withdrawal).
Federal law requires that, when you withdraw from all your classes during the enrollment period, the amount of financial aid assistance that you have "earned" up to that point is determined by a specific formula.
The enrollment period for a program measured in credit hours is one semester. The amount of financial aid that you have earned is determined on a pro-rata basis. Therefore if you withdraw after completing 40% of the enrollment period, you have earned 40% of the amount of federal aid for which you were entitled. The school takes all or a portion of your earned federal financial aid (except Federal Work-Study earnings if applicable) to pay any outstanding charges that remain on your school account.
Once you have completed more than 60% of the enrollment period, you earn all of your financial aid assistance for which you were entitled.
Return of funds allocation
In accordance with federal regulations, financial aid funds are returned in the following order, if applicable:
- Unsubsidized DL
- Subsidized DL
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal SEOG
- Other Title IV programs
- Other state, private and institutional aid
- Student
Concordia's responsibilities in regard to the return of Title IV/state funds include:
- Provide each student with the information given in this policy
- Identify students who are affected by this policy and complete the Return of Title IV and/or state funds calculation in accordance with federal and state regulations
- Return any Title IV funds and state funds to the appropriate program(s)
- The student's responsibilities in regard to the Return of Title IV/State funds include:
- Return to the Title IV programs any funds that were disbursed directly to the student and which the student was determined not to have earned in accordance with federal and state regulations.
For additional information regarding the Federal Title IV refund policy, please contact the Student Financial Services at 800-535-5494, ext. 7270, or email@example.com.

Lavender Wreath
From the moment you open the box it comes in, this handmade wreath brims with the lush and soothing scent of lavender. Hidcote English lavender is a dwarf variety noted for its deep purple flowers. Cultivated on a pesticide-free and herbicide-free family-owned farm, the lavender is picked by hand, air dried and gathered into wreaths.
- Intended for display indoors or in a sheltered area
- Ideal for a kitchen or bedroom, where its fragrance will last for months to come.
- Available in two sizes, 14" or 20" diam.
- Made in USA.
Use & Care
- Upon receipt, carefully cut the cable ties securing the wreath and gently remove it from the box.
- Woven of dried natural materials, this wreath is intended for display indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause the materials to fade and become fragile.
- If you choose to hang your wreath outdoors, protect it from the sun, wind and rain.
- If your wreath is mounted on an interior door, we recommend attaching it in two places to prevent it from bouncing against the door when the door is opened or closed.
- It is normal for natural materials to shed. The extra fullness of our wreath is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping. To minimize shedding, it is best to not move the wreath once it has been hung.
- To clean your wreath or garland, lightly dust its leaves with a soft paintbrush or feather duster.
- To store your wreath, we recommend lightly wrapping it in tissue paper and storing it flat in the box in which it arrived or a box of comparable size.

Arsène Wenger says Robin van Persie's individual awards are the "best compliment" a footballer can get.
The Arsenal captain was voted Player of the Year by the PFA and the Football Writers' Association and received his latest prize at a ceremony in London on Thursday night.
Van Persie has scored 35 goals in all competitions this season and has won the admiration of his opponents as well as his fans.
"To be voted by your peers as the best player in the league, I think that is the best compliment you can get," said Wenger.
"He has been voted as well by the press. I am sure the choice is right and I wouldn't like to challenge that at all. To get both together for me is absolutely fantastic."
Van Persie's future at Arsenal will be discussed this summer and Wenger remains confident of a positive conclusion.
"I cannot guarantee that it will go smoothly but I am quite confident," he said. "I believe he is committed to the Club, I feel that the Club has shown great commitment to him over the years and put great faith in him.
"I brought him here a long, long time ago and he has developed fantastically well as a man and as a player. Today he is a world-class player and he deserves great credit. Hopefully we can keep him here.
"If I was in his [situation] I would be relaxed. I am relaxed too. First of all when you open your newspapers you see a lot of clubs who want our players but I would just like to say that nobody is at the end of a contract. That means all the decisions are made by the Club."
Samir Nasri was sold to Manchester City last summer when he had a year remaining on his contract but Wenger believes that Van Persie's situation is different.
"The situations are not completely comparable," he said. "My desire and my wish is to find an agreement with Robin van Persie, extend the contract and stay with us for a longer time. Hopefully we can reach that.
"If that wouldn't happen, we'll still want him to stay but I am more focused on the first situation. I think what is important for us is that we find an agreement with him to be happy and to stay and finish his career here."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I can't wait until it looks like that around here. When it's cold, it needs to snow. When there is no snow, it needs to be warm. See my logic? :lol:
Love the change of seasons. Afte three or four weeks I'm ready for a change. When its cold, I dream of warm spring waether. In summer, I cant wait for fall(my fav). Its unseasonably cold here and very wet and nasty, but no snow yet.

Jorg Haider died in a car crash which resulted from his drunken state of mind leaving behind his conservative right wing Alliance for the Future of Austria to sort out the details of his life. His political party has drawn upon extremists who hate foreigners and gays as part of their general culture of hating those who differ in some respect from themselves. As the nation mourned his death, Stefan Petzner, his protege broke down in tears at news of the death of his mentor and publicly admitted the two men had conducted a long term gay relationship even while their party was hostile to gays and lesbians. "We had a relationship that went far beyond friendship. Jrg and I w ere connected by something truly special. He was the man of my life."
It appears Haider's widow knew all about the gay relationship between the men and accepted their feelings toward one another. Ironically, shortly before leaving on his drunken drive home, Haider was photographed before a gay bar that he left after an emotional argument with Petzner.
Love comes in many forms and those who believe in the right of humans to love whom they please do not denigrate the relationship between the two men. However, given their love, it is sad they would not accord similar rights to other men.

- Can anyone submit a concept study to use the CNICS data or specimens?
Yes, anyone is eligible to submit a concept study for review by the Research Coordinating Committee (RCC). Any investigator who can be reasonably expected to conduct the proposed work is eligible to submit a concept proposal to CNICS. This includes, but is not limited to: researchers at CNICS sites, CFAR academic centers, non-CFAR academic centers, funding entities, and biotech/pharmaceutical companies. Please note, for biotech/pharmaceutical companies, all analyses will be conducted by the CNICS Epidemiology and Biostatistical Core. CNICS data will not be shared with for-profit or third party entities.
Only approved studies are granted access to the CNICS data or specimens. The requirements for submission of studies for review include the use of CNICS forms, timelines and SOPs. To avoid conflicts and overlap, a member of our leadership team or our designee must be included as a Co-Investigator on all submitted studies. CNICS leaders are listed on the CNICS Contact Us page of our website. If you need assistance finding a collaborator, contact CNICS directly.
- How do I submit a study for review?
Instructions and forms for submitting studies to CNICS can be found on our website on the Submit a Proposal page. Once submitted, a review call will be scheduled to discuss the proposed concept study. Written reviews will be provided prior to the call. See the CNICS Concept Proposal Guidelines for further clarification on the review process.
- What should I expect during the conference call review of my concept study?
Please allow 30 minutes for the RCC review of your concept study by conference call with the committee. The call will begin with the chair asking you to provide a 5-10 minute overview of your proposed study, followed by time for questions from the committee and discussion of your written reviews. The review calls are collegial and intended to offer recommendations and assistance. All members of the study team are welcome to join the review call.
- When are the review calls scheduled?
The RCC conducts reviews by conference call on the 2nd Friday of each month at 12:30pm PST/2:30pm CST/3:30pm EST. If you are unable to join a call at that time, the committee will try to convene a review at another time. This may delay the normal processing time for review of your concept.
- Will the RCC provide a letter of collaboration or support for a grant application that intends to use CNICS data?
Yes, all reviewed studies receive written confirmation of the results of the review call, usually within 2-4 weeks of the discussion date.
- Does the CNICS cohort include pediatric patients?

- Are there costs associated with the use of data or specimens for research purposes?
Investigators are not charged for use of CNICS data or specimens for research studies. Investigators are expected to pay for shipment of specimens to their institution. Some processing and retrieval costs may also apply for specimens requests, depending on the number of specimens.

The Lightning DB5 falls in between the Light Weight and Heavy Duty disc golf baskets. It is as heavy duty as a park quality basket, but the pole is slightly narrower in diameter. Great for temporary courses and adding temporary holes to existing courses for tournaments.
See the DB5 basket on our heavy duty baskets comparison video, read more details in the product description and then contact us for expert advice, multiple basket rates and accurate shipping quotes. The shopping cart will not calculate the shipping correctly, even for just one basket, because they are packaged in multiple boxes plus the pole(s). Thanks!

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the 15th annual Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas. I have attended DEFCON in the past, but never Black Hat. The conference has grown significantly each year, and judging by the size of the expo floor, the vendors understand its significance. I enjoyed the conference and had great conversations with practitioners and vendors alike. Here are some observations from two of the sessions that I attended:

CNN.com joins Republican fear-mongering about Canadian-style health care
CNN.com reported that Republicans are using "accounts from Canada to warn against government involvement in the health care system" without noting that Democrats have ruled out moving toward a Canadian-style system.
In a July 6 article titled, "Reality check: Canada's government health care system [1]," CNN.com reported that Republicans are using "accounts from Canada to warn against government involvement in the health care system" and that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) "asserted ... that a government-run health insurance option, which President Obama and Democrats want, could lead to a government-controlled health care system like Canada's." But while basing an entire article on reported problems with the Canadian health care system and Republican claims that the Canadian system could be coming to the U.S., the only counterpoint CNN.com provided was the following sentence near the end of the article: "The reality is that despite GOP rhetoric to the contrary, no Democratic plan now on the table calls for a Canadian-like government run health care system."
In fact, claims that the U.S. could adopt the Canadian health care system are "deceptive," as a July 6 Associated Press article [2] noted, because "President Barack Obama and Democrats pushing to overhaul health care want to create an optional, government-run plan to compete with private insurers, not replace them." Indeed, Obama has explicitly rejected [3] the idea of adopting a Canadian-style health care system, and as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) -- who supports a single-payer system -- recently noted [4]: "[T]he Congress is not talking about a single-payer Canadian system. ... So it's kind of a bogus argument."
As Media Matters for America has repeatedly [5] noted [6], during a March 26 online town hall discussion [7], Obama said he did not support enacting a "single-payer system" for health care like the one in Canada, but instead proposed that the U.S. "build on the [employer-based] system that we have and fill some of these gaps." Obama has since embraced [8] the creation of a federally funded "public plan" as one of many insurance options available in the health care market, not the sole option, as in "single-payer" systems such as Canada. Moreover, the current version of the Senate Health Committee's health care reform bill -- sponsored by Sens. Edward Kennedy and Chris Dodd -- includes [9] a public option to compete with private insurers.
An entry in the Encarta encyclopedia by McGill University associate professor Antonia Maioni summarizes [10] Canada's health care system as follows:
In Canada, healthcare is delivered by private institutions -- hospitals and physicians -- that are not controlled directly by the government. This private delivery system is combined with a publicly financed health insurance system that is paid for by the provincial and federal governments.
Each province in Canada has a separate health insurance system funded by provincial government revenues and contributions from the federal government. The federal government provides funding in a lump sum based on the province's population.
From the July 6 CNN.com article:
For Shona Holmes, simple pleasures such as playing with her dog or walking in her plush garden are a gift.
After suffering from crushing headaches and vision problems, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor four years ago. She was told if it wasn't removed, she could go blind or even die.
"They said to me that you had a brain tumor and it was pressing on your optic chasm and that it needed to come out immediately," Holmes said.
Holmes is Canadian, but the "they" she refers to are doctors at the Mayo Clinic in the United States, where she turned after specialists in her own government-run health care system would not see her fast enough.
"My family doctor at that time tried to get me in to see an endocrinologist and a neurologist," Holmes recalled. "It was going to be four months for one specialist and six months for the other."
Even with the warning from U.S. doctors in hand, Holmes said she still couldn't get in to see Canadian specialists. Because the government system is the only health care option for Canadians, she says she had no choice but to have the surgery in the U.S.
Her treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona cost $100,000, and she and her husband put a second mortgage on their home and borrowed from family and friends to pay for it.
When she recounts that part of her painful story, she weeps.
"That's the stuff that I find so tragic -- having dinner with my friends and I know how much money I owe them," Holmes says, tears streaming down her face.
With the health care reform debate raging in the U.S., Republicans in Washington are seizing on Holmes' story and other accounts from Canada to warn against government involvement in the health care system.
The Senate's top Republican, Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, asserted several times on the Senate floor last month that a government-run health insurance option, which President Obama and Democrats want, could lead to a government-controlled health care system like Canada's.
The reality is that despite GOP rhetoric to the contrary, no Democratic plan now on the table calls for a Canadian-like government run health care system.
But in talking to doctors, government officials and even average Canadians, they concede their system is far from perfect, but there is one statistic they are quite proud of: All Canadians have health coverage. That's 33 million people, compared with the 47 million uninsured in the U.S.

AD: A Growing National Problem
AD: A Growing National Problem
For many older adults and their families, AD stands in the way of the "Golden Years." It also presents a major problem for our health care system and society as a whole. AD is the most common cause of dementia among older people. Recent estimates of how many people in the United States currently have AD differ, with numbers ranging from 2.4 million to 4.5 million, depending on how AD is measured. But scientists agree that unless the disease can be effectively treated or prevented, the numbers will increase significantly if current population trends continue.
Our aging society makes AD an especially critical issue. A 2005 Census Bureau report on aging in the United States notes that the population age 65 and older is expected to double in size to about 72 million people within the next 25 years. Moreover, the 85 and older age group is now the fastest growing segment of the population. This is all the more important for a neurodegenerative disease like AD because the number of people with the disease doubles for every 5-year age interval beyond age 65.
AD not only affects the people with the disease, of course. The number of AD caregivers—and their needs—can be expected to rise rapidly as the population ages and as the number of people with AD grows. During their years of AD caregiving, spouses, relatives, and friends experience great emotional, physical, and financial challenges. As the disease runs its course and the abilities of people with AD steadily decline, family members face difficult, and often costly, decisions about the long-term care of their loved ones.
The growing number of people with AD and the costs associated with the disease also put a heavy economic burden on society. The national direct and indirect costs of caring for people with AD are estimated to be more than $100 billion a year. A 2004 study provided an equally sobering picture of the impact of AD. It is estimated that if current AD trends continue, total Federal Medicare spending to treat beneficiaries with the disease will increase from $62 billion in 2000 to $189 billion in 2015.
For these reasons, AD is an urgent research priority. We need to find ways to manage and treat AD because of its broad-reaching and devastating impact. We now know that the disease process begins many years, perhaps even decades, before symptoms emerge. Discovering ways to identify AD in the earliest stages and halt or slow its progress will benefit individuals, families, and the Nation as a whole.
