The staff was also found to be very rude and unresponsive, especially in terms of the infestation problems throughout the community.

Roberto Martinez believes Wigan will be stronger for the injury and suspension problems that are threatening to derail their Barclays Premier League campaign.
The Latics go into tomorrow's clash with basement side QPR at the DW Stadium looking to avoid a third straight defeat and without eight senior players.
Defender Antolin Alcaraz and playmaker Shaun Maloney (both groin) are close to fitness but unlikely to feature tomorrow while midfielder Ben Watson (broken leg), wingers Albert Crusat (knee) and Ryo Miyaichi (ankle) and defender Ivan Ramis (hamstring) are also out.
To cap Martinez's selection problems, centre-backs Gary Caldwell and Maynor Figueroa are both suspended, with Wigan failing in an appeal against the latter's red card in Monday's 3-0 defeat by Newcastle.
The Wigan boss said: "We've got four centre-halfs missing and that doesn't happen a lot but I'm really pleased in the manner the other players have been working, and they've been waiting for their chance.
"That's what we want to create at the football club, a structure where you've got players ready to come in and to perform in the manner we want to play.
"Adrian Lopez came in against Reading and he performed against Manchester City and Newcastle at a very high level. Emmerson Boyce has been outstanding in that new role.
"I never look at the players that aren't there, it's the opposite. And once we get through this period we're going to be a stronger squad and a squad ready to finish the season really strong."
Martinez would certainly have wished for more options for such an important game as tomorrow's. Rangers remain bottom of the table, eight points behind Wigan in 16th, but have drawn both of their games under new manager Harry Redknapp.
The Latics are hoping to avoid another relegation battle, and Martinez is happy for the magnitude of the game to be talked up.
He said: "We want to be aware of the levels of expectation. The squad has been stretched to the maximum in the last three games with the players that we've had missing and I felt we reacted in a great manner and performed really well.
"In the last two games we feel frustrated that we couldn't get positive results to reflect some of the good things that we've done.
"You don't want to look away from the reality of the next game, which is a very important one from our point of view. We've had two defeats and we want to change that, and we have to change that.
"QPR are starting to bring a little bit of consistency in their play since Harry Redknapp arrived.
"You can see in their last two games, they got two positive results, they're playing with a real togetherness and they'll be looking at every game that they've got in front of them from now on as must-win games to get out of the position they're in."
Redknapp replaced Mark Hughes last month following the Welshman's sacking. The 65-year-old took over Tottenham when they were in a similar position four years ago, and Martinez expects him to turn around Rangers' fortunes.
"He brings real experience," said the Spaniard. "In football there is nothing better than knowing what to expect when you go into a challenge, that's a real advantage.
"Harry Redknapp has been in that situation before, he's been in a very successful team that had great times in the Champions League, and that brings a real feeling of confidence.
"He's going to get the best out of every single player. They've got very talented footballers and the moment they get a positive result they'll get a real competitive edge about them."
Martinez has called for the same support from the fans they received against Reading two weeks ago, when a Jordi Gomez hat-trick earned the Latics a last-gasp victory.
He added: "From our point of view, it's a home match and I did feel against Reading, in the second half, we started something special with the fans, I thought they were magnificent.
"They made us feel really comfortable and they allowed us to be ourselves. For us that's the challenge, to play in that manner at home and QPR is the next opportunity."

Legal Scholar Sues Former Employer
A former employee of the University of Iowa's law school has sued the institution, claiming that she was the victim of discrimination as a result of her conservative beliefs. Teresa Wagner was a part-time employee at the school's writing center in 2007, when a position for full-time employment as a teacher to first-year students came open. However, she was denied the position, which instead went to an individual she claims was less qualified, and who lost the job within a year. After that point, the job was never filled.
Wagner's suit claims that this refusal to promote her was based on ideological differences between herself and the school's faculty and administration. The charges were dismissed on the first trial, however, and it remains unclear whether Wagner will be able to continue to pursue her claim.
This case is another good reminder of how difficult and time-consuming pursuing a lawsuit can be for an individual. Fortunately, professional lawsuit funding can help to ameliorate some of these problems. To learn more, contact the team at Downey Lawsuit Funding.

OMG. I was inspecting the foundation of my home and found 1/2 of a wet termit tube going upm slab. It was not all the way up and when I disturbed it there were live termites it was very wet and fresh and it is the only 1 I found. I discovered it in the corner of the slab outside my kitchen in an area that I recently had work done and had th lower part of that that wall to the studs. There was no evidence of termite damage inside that I could see and I had 2 different contractors work on that area as well as the installers of my countertops so I was not the only person looking. Does that mean there are termites in my home or that they were just searching?
I eliminated an old rotting wodden chair (possibly termite infested) that was within 10 feet of the house as well as some dead limbs that I had removed form a tree to be rid of some of the source so I am sure there is soil infestation. I am getting a pest control company out as soon as I can schedule but in the mean time bought 2 gallons of a pesticide that said it would kill sub termites and saturated the soil in that area as well as sveral feet away from there. I am totally freaked outbu the thought of termites.
Is it possible I caught this before any horrible damage has happened? The house is in southern Louisiana. Stupid me let my termite contract drop a couple of years ago.
Subterranean termite colonies are usually located in the soil from which workers build mud tubes to structural wood where they then feed. The colonies are always connected to the soil and/or close to a moisture source.
An average colony consists of 60,000 to 250,000 individuals and a mature queen produces 5,000 to 10,000 eggs per year.
Once you see one of them, there is bound to be many (and I mean MANY) more! From my experience with these pests, it's better to resolve the problem sooner than later. I would ring one of the more professional companies and have them take a look at your situation. Check the yellow pages under pest control...you can reach Terminix at (877) 397-5201.

does anyone have any predictions for the geography 2016 paper? Im having a hard time studying it and it would be great to narrow it down.
NOTE, this is not a prediction but if i was you I would know how to do map questions(Q5) really well as they are always guaranteed. Then i would learn all of physical geography which is the most manageable part of the course. Make sure you know your coasts/glaciation as that is very common. Now you have Q1 and Q5 sorted. Then its up to you what you study. I would definetly learn soils as that is very frequent in Q4. Learning off the 3 types of rainfall and the weather equipment is also a good bet for Q2. Good luck.
Sorry i misread your question, i thought you meant JC geography. Never mind

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has spoken a few times with the South China Morning Post, and now the newspaper has published a bombshell detail.
The SCMP can now reveal that Edward Snowden admitted during his June 12 interview to taking his most recent job with defense contractor Booz Allen with the specific intention of gathering information to leak.
Edward Snowden's Hong Kong Interview: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
The NSA whistleblower tells Hong Kong's South China Morning Post that the U.S. has been spying on China for years.Click here to read more
They quote the 30-year-old whistleblower as saying:
My position with Booz Allen Hamilton granted me access to lists of machines all over the world the NSA hacked. That is why I accepted that position about three months ago."
It is unclear exactly why the Chinese publication waited two weeks to publish the information or why today was the right time to make the "reveal."
While it is uncertain if the revelations that this leak was premeditated will change the nature of Snowden's prosecution, it may slightly alter public opinion, especially in the wake of the United States Government's announcement that they will be charging Snowden with espionage.

These limits are given in terms of a unit referred to as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The FCC requires cell phone manufacturers to ensure that their phones comply with these objective limits for safe exposure. Any cell phone at or below these SAR levels (that is, any phone legally sold in the U.S.) is a "safe" phone, as measured by these standards.

Hey, it's Captain Phasma! Watch this awesome review, or don't. Get your The Force Awakens stuff at Entertainment Earth.
We still haven't seen everything - but there are many Kylo Ren action figures. Variant accessories may be a thing now, so keep your peepers peeled. This one has a bear trap of sorts, but the figure itself has a great sculpt, good deco, and stands up just fine. It's eight bucks, and you can order it at Entertainment Earth or elsewhere. Read on!
Amazon listed two (so far) new exclusive sets on 9/3. They are:
Star Wars The Force Awakens 3.75-Inch Figure Troop Builder 6-Pack - actually has 7 figures. Captain Phasma is joined by uniquely armored Stormtroopers and Snowtroopers. The fact that it is not actually a six pack once again robs me of Black Flag jokes.
Star Wars The Black Series 6-Inch Stormtrooper 4-Pack - This is the rumored "evolution" set. Each figure is unique - Stormtrooper has dirty deco, Episode 7 Stormtrooper has a unique pauldron, the Episode III Clone Trooper debuts in this set, and the AOTC yellow Clone Captain is new.
There's always hope! Walmart has 3 figures up for grabs now and more are coming. Tonight you can order Luke Skywalker (dirty boot redeco recolor of 2012 Vintage Blu-Ray Jedi Luke), Darth Vader (repack, possible redeco of the 500th Vader mold), and Chewbacca (possible redeco of 2004 Vintage Chewbacca.) I'm in the middle of a series of large crises so I'll update this with facts (or your comments) as time permits. As you wait, click below to see the figures at Walmart.com.
Upcoming releases include the unreleased Ceremonial Leia, Kylo Ren, and a First Order Stormtrooper.
Ad: Entertainment Earth added two new Hasbro Star Wars exclusives to its all-new The Force Awakens shop! The first-ever Crimson Stormtrooper figure is in a new all-Empire The Black Series boxed set, and from The Force Awakens comes a Desert Assault Walker with a swell Sandtrooper-inspired First Order Stormtrooper Officer.
We're in a hurry, so I'm pasting this in real quick - The Black Series 3 3/4-inch aren't quite dead. Where did they go? Find out after the jump.
Hasbro sent along a handy-dandy list in a press release, and here you go.
Hey, it's R4-D23 (D23 Exclusive)! And tomorrow is Force Friday, but you knew that. This one was sold at the Disney show recently, and it's pretty nifty - you don't have one like this. Read on!
From the Star Wars Weekends comes this newish R2-D2 (Holographic) action figure. It's clear blue, unpainted, and uses the newer Disney droid tooling. Should you snag one? Read on!
Hey kids, while we wait for Friday let's look at some other toys you have have missed. The R2-D60 figure was sold as part of Disneyland's 60th Birthday and isn't too expensive if you have to turn to the secondary market. Get while the getting is good. Read on!
Today in Figure of the Day - before a brief hiatus so I can get some other things in order so we can hopefully all have a fun September - is R5-Series Astromech Droid Black with Silver and Orange. It's another Disney droid, and potentially available at a theme park "near" you right now. Is it worth it? Read on!

Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Varsity Tennis Center)
Score: Michigan 4, Wisconsin 3
Records: Michigan (9-7, 5-0 Big Ten), Wisconsin (13-6, 2-2 Big Ten)
Next Event: Friday, April 9 -- at Penn State (State College, Pa.), 3 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's tennis team rallied past Wisconsin on Sunday (April 4), winning 4-3 outside at the Varsity Tennis Center. Michigan dropped the first set in every singles match after winning the doubles point, but juniors Jason Jung (Torrance, Calif./West Torrance) and Chris Madden (Lotus, Calif./Ponderosa) won at Nos. 1 and 4, respectively, in three-set thrillers to give U-M the come-from-behind win and keep the Wolverines perfect in Big Ten play (5-0).
After a loss at No. 2 doubles yesterday (Saturday, April 3), the senior duo of George Navas (Tampa, Fla./Tampa Preparatory) and Mike Sroczynski (Chatham, N.J./Laurel Springs Prep) kicked doubles off by overwhelming No. 79 Luke Rossow-Kantor and Mike Dierberger (Wisconsin), 8-3, to give Michigan an early advantage for the doubles point. The No. 3 team of freshman Chris Cha (Eureka, Mo./University of Missouri H.S.) and Madden clinched the point with a come-from-behind victory over Patrick Pohlmann and Ricardo Martin (Wisconsin), 8-5, to give Michigan an early 1-0 lead in the match.
Wisconsin quickly took control of singles, grabbing the first set on each of the six courts. The Badgers tied up the match at No. 2, after No. 17 Moritz Baumann knocked off freshman Evan King (Chicago, Ill./Kaplan) in straight sets. They added another point when Wisconsin's Chris Freeman defeated Cha at No. 6 in three sets.
Michigan got a point back to even things up at 2-2 when Navas won at No. 5, pushing his record in Big Ten matches to 5-0. Wisconsin once again took the lead in the match when Patrick Pohlmann (Wisconsin) sent back Sroczynski in three sets.
In the third set at No. 1, Jung was down 5-4 to No. 21 Marek Michalicka and serving for a tie. The game was tied at 30-30 when Michalicka received a time violation warning from the chair umpire. Jung won the next point to go up 40-30 when Michalicka received a second violation, giving Jung the point and the game win, tying the third set at 5-5. The junior went on to win the match 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 and corral momentum back to Michigan with Madden the only remaining player on the courts.
Madden, who had clinched team wins three previous times this season, most recently yesterday against Northwestern, came through again at No. 5, this time over Billy Bertha (Wisconsin) in three sets, giving Michigan the 4-3 victory and setting off a celebration at the Varsity Tennis Center. He also clinched Michigan's wins against Vanderbilt (Jan. 23) and Notre Dame (Feb. 13).
Next Friday (April 9), Michigan hits the road for the first time this season in conference play, facing Penn State in State College, Pa. The match is scheduled to start at 3 p.m.
The following are match-by-match results:
No. 1 -- No. 41 Jason Jung (U-M) d. No. 21 Marek Michalicka (WISC), 3-6, 6-3, 7-5
No. 2 -- No. 17 Moritz Baumann (WISC) d. No. 97 Evan King (U-M), 6-3, 6-2
No. 3 -- Patrick Pohlmann (WISC) d. Mike Sroczynski (U-M), 6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-2

Four of Michigan's remaining five dual matches will be on the road. The Wolverines have only one home match left, Sunday, April 18, against Purdue, which will also be Senior Day. They are 6-3 at home (5-1 on the six-match home stand).
Michigan won the doubles point for the 13th time in 16 dual matches.
Each of U-M's three doubles teams (Jung/King, Navas/Sroczynski, Cha/Madden) are 4-1 in Big Ten play.
Five of the six singles matches on Sunday went three sets.
Michigan Head Coach Bruce Berque
On the match against Wisconsin ... "It's a relief. I've been doing this for over 20 years and I can't remember winning a match after losing each first set in singles. It was an unbelievable team effort. I'm so proud of our whole team. Wisconsin is a very good team and this was a great win for us, but there are a lot of things that we need to improve upon."
On how his team changed its mindset after losing the first set in all six singles matches ... "When the scoreboard looks bleak as it did today, you either cave in or step up and our guys stepped up. They became much more aggressive in their play. Jason and Chris really stepped up today and showed great resilience in their matches. And George, our captain, looked impressive in his win. He's taking a lot of pride in being our leader out there."
On shifting focus to road matches ... "The tennis stays the same. When you are away, nobody is really helping us but ourselves. It's all about the team, and that's what I preached to our guys this whole week. Starting with your first five conference matches at home is nice, but now we go out on the road, and we just have to be on the same page."
U-M Junior Chris Madden
On his mindset during the last match ... "Tough match, real tough match. I knew I had to come through. I actually didn't know what was going on the other side with JJ (Jason Jung), but I just concentrated on holding and did my best to come out with a win. It definitely feels good. It's a huge win, unbelievable win, but we can get better and we have higher goals."
On pressure situations ... "When I am the last one out there, I'm completely zoned in. Quiet. If I am the first one off, I'll do my best to cheer on my teammates and push them."
U-M Junior Jason Jung
On his win at No. 1 ... "I don't even know what to say. The coaches helped pull me through today. I was able to buckle down and get through it. The conditions were better today, too."
On the halfway point in the Big Ten season ... "This win helps us in so many ways. It gives our confidence a huge boost. We know now that, home or away, we can come out and play with anybody. We're playing pretty well right now and hopefully that leads to better things down the road."
U-M Senior George Navas
On his win at No. 5 ... "It wasn't pretty, but even after I lost the first set, I thought I could make a few adjustments. I felt pretty confident I could get through it even though I wasn't happy with the quality of my tennis or like where I was at mentally. In that second set, I saw a few people starting to make some charges and knew we would be alright if we just stuck with it."
On the importance of this win ... "It's really big, especially since we came back in three matches after losing the first set on six of them. It's something I have never been a part of. Wisconsin is one of the better teams in the Big Ten and now with this win, we can focus on playing Penn State and Ohio State next weekend and moving forward."

Is "Man-made Global Warming" about to take another hit?
posted at 5:07 pm on July 20, 2011 by Bruce McQuain
It appears the warmist agenda is about to take another hit if this is being interpreted properly:
The chief of the world's leading physics lab at CERN in Geneva has prohibited scientists from drawing conclusions from a major experiment. The CLOUD ("Cosmics Leaving Outdoor Droplets") experiment examines the role that energetic particles from deep space play in cloud formation. CLOUD uses CERN's proton synchrotron to examine nucleation.
CERN Director General Rolf-Dieter Heuer told Welt Online that the scientists should refrain from drawing conclusions from the latest experiment.
"I have asked the colleagues to present the results clearly, but not to interpret them," reports veteran science editor Nigel Calder on his blog. Why?
Because, Heuer says, "That would go immediately into the highly political arena of the climate change debate. One has to make clear that cosmic radiation is only one of many parameters."
Oh … "only one of many parameters", eh? Nice to see someone finally admit that. For instance that big yellow thing that hangs in the sky each day?
Imagine that – cosmic rays have a role in cloud formation and the sun is extraordinarily active in how many cosmic rays are able reach the atmosphere and carry out that function. Apparently few if any models use it. However the the effect is profound:
The CLOUD experiment builds on earlier experiments by Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark, who demonstrated that cosmic rays provide a seed for clouds. Tiny changes in the earth's cloud cover could account for variations in temperature of several degrees. The amount of Ultra Fine Condensation Nuclei (UFCN) material depends on the quantity of the background drizzle of rays, which varies depending on the strength of the sun's magnetic field and the strength of the Earth's magnetic field.
Emphasis mine. Back to that big yellow thing – what role does it have:
Since clouds often cover 30 percent of the earth's surface, a moderate change in cloud cover clearly could explain the warming/cooling cycle.
Svensmark noted the gigantic "solar wind" that expands when the sun is active—and thus blocks many of the cosmic rays that would otherwise hit the earth's atmosphere. When the sun weakens, the solar wind shrinks. Recently, the U.S. Solar Observatory reported a very long period of "quiet sun" and predicted 30 years of cooling.
Got it? We're in a solar minimum and the temp hasn't risen in the 10 years since it has begun. Go figure.
So where does this leave us given the CERN gag order? What can you infer from that?
Nigel Calder does a good job of rounding the inferences up for us:
Four quick inferences:
1) The results must be favourable for Svensmark or there would be no such anxiety about them.
2) CERN has joined a long line of lesser institutions obliged to remain politically correct about the man-made global warming hypothesis. It's OK to enter "the highly political arena of the climate change debate" provided your results endorse man-made warming, but not if they support Svensmark's heresy that the Sun alters the climate by influencing the cosmic ray influx and cloud formation.
3) The once illustrious CERN laboratory ceases to be a truly scientific institute when its Director General forbids its physicists and visiting experimenters to draw the obvious scientific conclusions from their results.
4) The resulting publication may be rather boring.
Indeed … boring only in the sense of reading dense scientific material. Not boring in its impact.
The CERN experiment is supposed to be the big test of the Svensmark theory. It's a tipoff, then, that CERN's boss, Rolf-Dieter Heuer, has just told the German magazine Die Welt that he has forbidden his researchers to "interpret" the forthcoming test results. In other words, the CERN report will be a stark "just the facts" listing of the findings. Those findings must support Svensmark, or Heuer would never have issued such a stifling order on a major experiment.
Can't wait to watch this one unfold. But the gag order is very suspicious and certainly infers that the results don't support the warmist theory … or should I say "assertion" now?

The ED get extremely hot for me, burning my fingers to the touch and stinky, at just 12v 500mah.

BTW, as others have mentioned, they are very easy to blow with excess voltage. I tried pumping 24v / 3a divided between 3 ED's and one of them blew in a minute without anything unusual, steppers never disconnected.
No public wish lists :(

Technical Abstract: The application of conventional Size Exclusion Chromatography to the fractionation of branched polysaccharides has, at present, an upper molecular weight limit of approximately twenty million. Waxy maize amylopectins with weight average molecular weights (Mw) up to approximately 100 million daltons, as measured by multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS), have been fractionated using a commercial solid bead hydrodynamic column with 90% DMSO-H2O (w/w) as the mobile phase. Our work with this chromatographic system, consisting of a hydrodynamic column, a commercial dual angle laser light scattering detector with associated software, and a differential refractive index detector, indicates that still higher molecular weights could be fractionated by this type of column. Current developments and problems in examining these extremely high molecular weight, highly branched, polysaccharides will be discussed.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell men's soccer player Daniel Haber, who was named the Ivy League Player of the Year in November, has signed a professional contract with Israeli club team Maccabi Haifa FC and will be forgoing his senior year of eligibility at Cornell.
Haber will take a leave of absence from Cornell, meaning he can come back to school within a five-year period to complete his degree without having to go through re-admittance procedures.
Haber, who racked up a league-high 18 goals and 43 points in his junior campaign, helped the Big Red to its first outright Ivy League title since 1977 and its first NCAA tournament berth since 1996. Haber was also named a First-Team All-American at season's end and was on the All-Ivy First Team. His 1.06 points per game and 2.53 goals per game led the country.
Haber signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Maccabi Haifa on Monday after two weeks of tryouts. He is the only player on the Haifa roster from Canada and is also the team's only player from North America.
Maccabi Haifa, which plays in the Israeli Premier League (Israel's top division of soccer) is a 12-time Israeli Premier League champion, last winning the crown in 2010-11. Haifa placed fifth at the end of the 2011-12 season and is currently in third this season through 17 games.

How to win votes? Promise to drop taxes.
The formula worked for Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's three-time prime minister now engaged in his sixth campaign. One of his rivals, Mario Monti, is giving it a shot too. The man who raised taxes as part of his "Save Italy" austerity campaign, launched 14 months ago, when he replaced Mr. Berlusconi, now apparently believes they can come down.
On SkyTG24 television Sunday night, Mr. Monti, 69, said "taxes need to be cut, but no one should be making promises that cannot be kept."
Specifically, he said there is the "possibility" of reducing the national income tax (known as IRPEF) by one percentage point, freeze the value-added tax, which was raised by his government, and restructure the hated property tax that he introduced and which Mr. Berlusconi has vowed to scrap. Doing so does not necessarily mean Mr. Monti will cut it; it does mean that a greater proportion of the property tax might be set aside for struggling municipal governments.
Mr. Monti's reversal on tax hikes is capturing the imagination of some voters ahead of the election, which is to be held on Feb. 24 and Feb. 24. The latest poll, released Sunday by ISPO, gave Mr. Monti's centrist bloc about 15 per cent, putting it in third place, just ahead of the Five Star Movement led by comedian and anti-corruption activist Beppe Grillo. Previous polls had put the centrists at a mere 10 per cent.
The centre-left coalition, led by former communist Pier Luigi Bersani, remains in first place, with about 38 per cent, while Mr. Berlusoni's centre-right bloc, which now includes its former partner, the Northern League, could pull as much as 28 per cent of the vote.
To non-Italians and many Italians themselves, the election is confusing: Blocs from the right, centre and left, a comedian with enough popularity to take entire regions (Mr. Grillo's movement won the recent Sicilian elections), a resurgent Mr. Berlusconi and a wannabe technical prime minister, Mr. Monti, who is campaigning but not officially in the election (he is not a candidate because, as a senator for life, he is already a parliamentarian).
What is certain is that the Italian election is crucial for the health of Italy, the euro zone's third largest economy, and, by extension, the health of Europe. The country is in deep recession, is leaderless – Mr. Monti, who resigned last month, is the caretaker premier – and is too big to bail out if it were to get shut out of the debt markets, as Greece, Ireland and Portugal were. While Italy's sovereign bond yields have fallen considerably since Mr. Monti set up his unelected government, every European finance minister knows that another scent of blood could lure bond investors in for the kill.
A clear victory by Mr. Monti's centrists, who are backed by the Italian industrialists, the Vatican and European leaders, or by Mr. Bersani's centre-left, would welcomed by the markets. While Mr. Monti has shifted from tax hiker to tax cutter, he has vowed to keep the economic reform agenda intact. For his part, Mr. Bersani has vowed to do pretty much the same; austerity would not be scrapped should he win, though it probably would be diluted somewhat, a la Francois Hollande in France. Mr. Bersani had a credible record as a reformist in previous centre-left governments.
But the markets may not get what they want. Together, Mr. Berlusconi's party, PdL, and the Northern League, which is based in Milan and wants to separate the rich industrial north from the rest of the country, could deny Mr. Bersani's bloc the majority it needs (in Italy, majorities are required in both the Senate and the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies, to govern). Then there is Mr. Grillo. While his movement is sinking in the polls, it remains a competitive threat.
With the number of undecided voters at somewhere under 40 per cent, the election remains wide open with six weeks to go. A hung parliament is a possibility. So is a hung Italy. If the electoral battleground produces no clear winner, Italy's economic reform will stall and investors will seek revenge. The intensity of the euro zone crisis will be decided next month.Report Typo/Error

Mark Hensby isn't one to keep his mouth shut. First he ran his mouth about Michelle Wie, saying "I don't think a 15-year-old girl who's done nothing at all should get a sponsor's invitation to a PGA Tour event." A lot of articles start the same way this one does, "Australian golfer Mark Hensby has slammed (fill in the blank)."
This week, the tiny Australian's target is none other than the gigantic Greg Norman. Norman's fault, which Hensby can't resist pointing out? The Great White Shark, recently voted Australia's golfer of the century, apparently doesn't do enough to support Australian golf.
Said Hensby, "I can't see why Greg Norman is not doing anything. To me, he should be doing a little bit more to make sure it [the Australasian PGA Tour] doesn't go downhill." Three of the six Australasian Tour events are co-sponsored by either the European Tour (Johnnie Walker Classic) or the Nationwide Tour (Jacob's Creek Open, New Zealand PGA Championship).
Hensby describes Norman as "a very powerful man" who he feels should use his experience to help young Australian golfers.
Aussies Robert Allenby and Stuart Appleby were quick to defend Norman. Allenby went so far as to call Hensby's comments "pretty sad" and to say Greg is Australian golf. He doesn't owe the tour anything." Allenby then pointed out that Norman sponsored the Greg Norman Holden Classic for years. "I didn't see the Mark Hensby Holden Classic," he said.
Stuart Appleby also supported Norman, saying "Greg has done a huge amount for Australian golf. I don't think he can make a huge difference now."
Adam Scott is widely known as a Greg Norman supporter as well, and credits Norman with much of his own success on the PGA Tour. Many will recall that last year both Adam Scott and Greg Norman took flak from Bruce Devlin for missing the 100th Australian Open.
Here's a tip for Mark Hensby: put up or shut up.

With the stock market moving higher on above average volume the past two weeks, many stocks with strong fundamentals have made solid price gains. During this time, a lot of stocks have broken out to new 52-week highs and all-time highs. This is important because stocks breaking out to all-time highs historically continue to move higher.
The reason for this is that there is no one underwater when a stock hits new all-time highs. There are no bag holders, there is nobody wanting to get out to "break even," and there is no one looking for it to rise just one more dollar to cut their losses. There are just profits.
Many of these stocks that breakout to all-time highs continue to appreciate higher during strong stock market uptrends. With the current market trending higher, I want to review the fundamentals of three leading medical stocks nearing all-time highs and then go over where I am looking to accumulate shares as these stocks trend higher.
What is a leading stock? A leading stock has strong EPS growth, strong sales growth, a high profit margin, a high return on equity, low to zero debt to shareholder equity, mutual fund ownership growth, management ownership, high future EPS estimates, a high Relative Strength line to the overall market, and is within 15%-20% of its 52-week high.
The first stock is finally a growth stock, following over a decade of losses. Regeneron Pharmaceutical (NASDAQ:RGEN) is a Tarrytown, NY developer of pharmaceutical products to treat inflammatory diseases, eye diseases, and cancer.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' EPS is finally growing, growing 216% and 264% the past two quarters. Sales growth has also recently exploded, following many quarters of either weak growth or declines. Sales have grown 107% and 182% the past two quarters. This new growth is expected to continue going into 2013, with EPS estimates expecting a gain of 56% from the year before.
Regeneron Pharmaceutical has 89% debt to shareholder equity, a profit margin of -3.6%, a cash flow of $-2.05, and spends 99.9% of sales on R&D. While these numbers are not flattering, it is due to the previous years of losses. As the EPS and sales growth continues to grow, these numbers will improve.
Mutual fund managers have taken notice of the recent growth with fund ownership increasing from 370 to 548 funds the past three quarters. Management owns 11% of the shares outstanding, indicating they are vested in making sure the company's share price appreciates.
Sticking with the Biotechnology theme, our next stock is Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:VRTX). Vertex Pharmaceuticals is a Cambridge, MA developer of small molecule drug treatments for hepatitis C, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, pain and cancer.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals' EPS has turned the corner, following years of losses, growing 180%, 216%, 160%, and 169% the past four quarters. Sales growth is even more impressive, growing 93%, 228%, 262%, 999%, 760%, 496%, and 286% the past seven quarters. More of this should be expected as annual EPS estimates for 2012 and 2013 are for gains of 675% and 47% respectively.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals has 51% debt to shareholder equity, a profit margin of 23%, a return on equity of 2%, a cash flow of $0.33, and spends 50.2% of sales on R&D. The current P/E ratio of 23 is in the middle of its 5-year range of 14-30.
Mutual fund ownership is on a steady climb, growing from 712 to 1059 funds the past seven quarters. Management owns 4% of the shares outstanding.
Our final stock is currently under a ton of accumulation (share price moving higher on extremely large volume) the past two months. Cynosure Inc. (NASDAQ:CYNO) is a Westford, MA developer of aesthetic treatment systems for non-invasive hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and vascular/pigmented lesions.
Cynosure Inc.'s EPS, like our other two stocks, has turned the corner recently, growing 233%, 147%, and 999%+ the past three quarters. Sales have grown 6%, 16%, 16%, 23%, 48%, 53%, 56%, and 50% the past eight quarters. Annual EPS estimates for 2013 are for a gain of 40% compared to the year before.
Cynosure Inc. has 0% debt to shareholder equity, a 3% profit margin, a cash flow of $0.40 per share, and spends 9.1% of sales on R&D. The current P/E ratio of 92 is in the low-middle area of its 5-year range of 8-244.
Mutual fund ownership, after stagnating for quarters, is finally on the rise again, growing from 113 to 123 to 148 funds the past three quarters. Management owns 9% of the shares outstanding.
The fundamentals above, along with the stocks being near all-time highs, easily places these three stocks at the top of my current buy watch list.
As long as the growth continues, all three of these stocks make excellent longer term holdings for individual investors. I am, however, an intermediate term trend follower and thus only want to be long these stocks as they trend higher.
On that note, I am already long Cynosure Inc. but plan to continue to add to my position on subsequent pocket pivot point buy signals off the 10 day moving average (volume must be higher on the signal date than any down day's volume the past 10 days) and on a breakout to a new all-time high.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals has been throwing some pocket pivot point buy signals lately but they all have come on below average volume. Friday's above average volume move is the first one that is a legitimate signal. Subsequent pocket pivot point signals on above average volume will be where I will accumulate shares.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is in the exact identical situation as Vertex Pharmaceuticals, as all recent pocket pivot point buy signals have come on below average volume. A breakout to a fresh new all-time high and subsequent high volume pocket pivot point signals off the 10 day moving average is where I will begin accumulating shares.
One final note about my methodology is that if I purchase any of these stocks and they do not move higher immediately I will cut my losses and wait for the next signal to trigger. In the stock market, if you do not cut your losses, one day you will definitely end up taking the ultimate loss.
Disclosure: I am long CYNO. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article. I may initiate a long position in REGN and VRTX over the next 72 hours.

The Debates: Are the Candidates 'Artfully Dodging"?
The Presidential Debate were broadcast from the Ritchie Center, Denver, Colorado.
Artful Dodgers: Responding But Not Answering Often Undetected
Seeing questions can help voters detect dodges and be better informed, a study says
How can some people respond to a question without answering the question, yet satisfy their listeners? This skill of "artful dodging" and how to better detect it are explored in an article published by the American Psychological Association.
People typically judge a speaker with the goal of forming an opinion of the speaker, which can make them susceptibile to dodges, according to the study, The Artful Dodger, published online in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied. Limited attention capacity is another reason people fall for dodges, said the authors, citing a previous study in which people counting basketball passes failed to notice a man in a gorilla suit walking through the game.
Dodge detection greatly increased when listeners were directed to pay close attention to the relevance of speakers' answers with regard to the questions, or if the text of the correct question was visible to the listeners as the speaker responded. The ability to recognize a dodge more than doubled, from 39 percent without the text to 88 percent with the text.
"Given concerns that voters are uninformed or misinformed and the many calls for increased education of voters—from politicians and pundits alike—these results suggest that very simple interventions can dramatically help voters focus on the substance of politicians' answers rather than their personal style," said authors Todd Rogers, PhD, and Michael I. Norton, PhD, both of Harvard University.
The researchers conducted four different experiments with four separate groups of people totaling 1,139 men and women averaging 44 years old. In three of the studies, participants watched a video of a mock political debate and then responded to an online survey. In the fourth study, participants listened to excerpts of a recording of a mock political debate and then responded to questions.
The study results indicated that people are frequently unable to remember an initial question if a speaker answers a similar question. Moreover, listeners rated speakers who answered a similar question just as positively as those who answered the correct question. Listeners had the most negative reactions if speakers answered blatantly different questions or if they fumbled their words even while answering the correct question.
But dodges aren't always bad, the authors noted, "such as when someone asks coworkers for their opinion on a new outfit." They pointed out that while posting the text of questions can be done for televised debates, it's not practical to carry around a poster of your questions when going about everyday life. And dodge detecting can be detrimental if people are engaging in creative, wide-ranging conversations.
"Still, our results suggest that in many cases, dodges cause sought-after and relevant information to go unspoken, with little awareness and few consequences," the authors said.

The Berenstain Bears and the Big Road Race (edition 1987)
by Stan Berenstain, Jan Berenstain
Work details
The Berenstain Bears and the Big Road Race by Stan Berenstain
No current Talk conversations about this book.
book discusses how brother bear won the big race because he continued to work hard despite not being the fastest car in the race.
2 books
I had mixed feelings about this book after reading it. I liked this book because it was an obvious spin off of the classic fable "The Tortoise and the Hare". I thought the authors did and awesome job of changing the story so that children in these times can understand the message and plot a little more. The fact that the authors chose cars in the story can grab a lot of children's attention because it is something they can relate to. The plot was engaging and fast paced to keep readers attention. The one thing I did not like was how it didn't really incorporate the Berenstain Bears into the story at all, other than the looks of the characters, even though it was a Berenstain Bear's book! Overall the big idea of the story is to keep trying your best no matter how hard it seems and who says you can't.
This is the story will teach children about not giving up no matter how bad things may seem. The little red car just kept on putting and ended up winning the race. The four mean race car drivers all got a bit head and ended up losing.

Did you miss this concert? Were you there and would like to hear it again—because once is not enough? You're in luck—NEC has made it available at InstantEncore. To play or download the performances, click here—there are no fees involved. You will need to have or create an account to complete the process. Your account will also allow you to receive notifications of future concerts.
As part of NEC's celebration of Benjamin Britten's 100th birthday, Associate Director of Orchestras David Loebel conducts a British-themed program:
Mendelssohn: "Scottish" Symphony
Britten: Sinfonia da Requiem
Tippett: Suite in D for the Birthday of Prince Charles
The Philharmonia and David Loebel continue NEC's celebration of the Benjamin Britten centennial with a performance of a work that could very easily fit into the Conservatory's concurrent festival, Music: Truth to Power. Composed while the pacifist Britten was staying in the United States during Britain's involvement in World War II, the Sinfonia da Requiem was commissioned by one of the world's most bellicose nations—Japan. And, even without a specific program, its character reveals its creator's deeply held convictions.
The story of the commission is full of diplomatic missteps, which ultimately resulted in the Japanese, already at war with China and about to bomb Pearl Harbor, angrily rejecting Britten's piece. So instead of the Sinfonia having its premiere on the occasion of the 2600th anniversary of the Japanese ruling dynasty, it was first heard in Carnegie Hall, New York on 29 March 1941 with the New York Philharmonic under John Barbirolli. Not long after the New York premiere, Serge Koussevitsky conducted the work with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This performance led to the Koussevitzky Music Foundations commission of Britten's opera Peter Grimes.
In three movements, the Sinfonia was dedicated to the memory of Britten's parents. The movement titles, Lacrymosa, Dies irae, and Requiem aeternam, are taken from the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass and, of course, anticipate the funeral rites of the many who would be killed in the War. The dark tone and the Latin titles were particularly offensive to the Japanese, a non-Christian nation seeking to celebrate jingoistically its world stature.
In describing the work, Britten told the New York Sun in 1940, "I'm making it just as anti-war as possible ... I don't believe you can express social or political or economic theories in music, but by coupling new music with well known musical phrases, I think it's possible to get over certain ideas ... all I'm sure of is my own anti-war conviction as I write it."
Sir Michael Tippett's Suite in D for the Birthday of Prince Charles was apparently not on the program when the London Philharmonia serenaded the Prince of Wales on his 65th birthday, November 25. Instead, the orchestra saluted the new pensioner with 90 minutes of Wagner (his choice) at the Buckingham Palace shindig financed by Indian tycoon, Cyrus Vandrevala and his wife, Priya. David Loebel and the NEC Philharmonia, however, are making up the gap by programming the 1948 work that has been described as "wonderfully lyrical and fabulously funny" by allmusic.com.
Finally, in keeping with the British theme of the concert, the orchestra and Loebel conclude with Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 "Scottish" that evokes the composer's memories of a walking tour through Scotland.

Senior Lecturer in Modern History
20th Century Russia.
+44 (0)114 22 22567 | Jessop West 2.09
Semester Two 2016/17: On research leave.
I studied Russian and French at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, before moving to the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies, University College London, where I gained an M.A. in History and later my PhD. I held a Scouloudi History Research Fellowship at the Institute of Historical Research (2002-03) and a one-year lectureship at the University of Liverpool (2003-4), before starting at Sheffield in September 2004.
My first monograph Khrushchev's Cold Summer: Gulag Returnees, Crime, and the Fate of Reform After Stalin won the 2010 Wayne S. Vucinich Book Prize awarded by Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies 'for the most important contribution to Russian, Eurasian, and East European studies in any discipline of the humanities or social sciences published in English in the United States in the previous calendar year'.
I am currently principal investigator on a four-year AHRC-funded project entitled 'Protestants Behind The Iron Curtain: Religious Belief, Identity, And Narrative In Russia And Ukraine Since 1945'.
Professional Roles
British Association for Slavonic and Eastern European Studies (BASEES) - Member
BASEES Study Group on Religion and Spirituality in Russia and Eastern Europe (RSREE) - Co-Convenor
My research interests lie in the history of the Soviet Union, with a particular emphasis on the social and cultural history of post-war Russia. My first book explored popular responses to the reforms of the Khrushchev era, in particular the massive exodus of prisoners from the Gulag. Khrushchev's Cold Summer: Gulag Returnees, Crime, and the Fate of Reform After Stalin examined the impact of these returnees on communities and, more broadly, Soviet attempts to come to terms with the traumatic legacies of Stalin's terror.
My current project explores the history of Baptist and Pentecostal communities in the Soviet Union. In this project I will study state-church relations in the late Soviet period, exploring on the one hand how the government used bureaucratic, legalistic and propagandistic means to curb religious activity and on the other how religious groups sought to evade or at least attenuate this control. The project will explore the experience of belonging to a congregation and the meaning of belief in a radically atheist state. It draws on archival materials as well as oral history interviews which will be carried out as part of the AHRC-funded project.
My current project focuses on a very specific group – evangelical Protestants – but continues to develop my earlier research interest in how individuals and communities related to the Soviet project.

In the wake of Stalin's death in 1953 and Khrushchev's Secret Speech three years later, many Soviet citizens hoped that past injustices would now be put right. For some, this meant the right to rejoin the Communist Party. This article explores how former party members - including many returning from the camps - sought rehabilitation in the years 1956 to 1957. Focusing in particular on the party organization in Vladimir province, the article examines the differing ways POWs and purge victims were treated, and asks how far the decisions made by the party elite in this particular region reflected central policy or local concerns.
'Contesting the Paradigms of De-Stalinization: Readers' Responses to One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich', Slavic Review, 64 (2005), pp.580-600.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's novella 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' was published in the literary journal Novyi mir in November 1962 and provoked excited debate across the Soviet press in subsequent months. In this article, I use unpublished letters to the editor to examine readers' responses to this work of literature and as a means to explore attitudes towards the process of de-Stalinization more broadly. While many historians have tended to see the Nikita Khrushchev period as a battleground between liberals and conservatives, these letters suggest a rather more complex dialogue over the legacies of Stalinism. They show that even those readers who embraced the de-Stalinizing rhetoric of the Twenty-Second Party Congress found Solzhenitsyn's text highly disturbing. Distressed by the appearance of camp slang and 'vulgar' language within a literary work, readers took the opportunity to express their concerns over the large numbers of criminals released from the gulag, rising crime levels, and the perceived threat they presented to 'respectable' Soviet culture.

Wiregrass Ranch's physical 20-6 loss to Wesley Chapel will force two Bulls to sit out next week's game against Sunlake.
Starting quarterback Jake Day and starting running back Jamie Barone will both miss Week 2 for precautionary reasons after sustaining concussions Friday night, Bulls coach Jeremy Shobe said Saturday.
Barone left the game in an ambulance. The 5-foot-6, 145-pound junior rushed for 30 yards on six carries but did not play in the fourth quarter.
Day took a hard hit into the first down marker in the second half Friday night. He sat out a play but returned to the game. He sustained another hard hit near the sidelines in the Wildcats red zone in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter.
Day did not play in Wiregrass Ranch's final drive. The athletic 5-foot-11, 163-pound junior, threw a 31-yard touchdown pass Friday that was his team's only score of the game.
