Return Five Scorers From Last Year
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Bulldogs will travel to New York this Friday to compete in the 71st annual Heptagonal Championships. The conference meet, which features all eight Ivy League schools, is the highlight of the cross country season for many runners. After an off meet at Penn State National, the Bulldogs look ready to bounce back with two weeks of solid training going into this weekend.
Head coach Dan Ireland said several runners could make a big impact this weekend. The Bulldogs return all top five scorers from last year's Heptagonals, including junior Conor Dooney, who placed 13th overall and earned All-Ivy last season. Junior Jeff Perrella should also play an important role, finishing as the Bulldogs' top runner at every meet he has raced in this season. Ireland also highlighted senior captain Max Walden and junior Julian Sheinbaum, who have consistently scored in the Bulldogs' top five this season.
Sophomore Demetri Goutos also joined the top five for the first time with his breakthrough race at Penn State National, while junior Nathan Richards and sophomore Sam Kirtner have consistently ran in the Bulldogs' top seven. Freshman Michael Cunetta will be the only freshman representing the Bulldogs, but his two finishes as the Bulldogs' second scorer this season has proved his competitiveness with more experienced runners. Other Bulldogs that could contribute include senior Chris Scavone, junior Jake McKenzie and sophomores Kevin Lunn and Matt Thwaites.
"The guys have trained hard all season and are looking forward to the opportunity of competing at Heps," Ireland said.
The Bulldogs look to improve from their seventh-place finish last year. Columbia is the defending champion, although Princeton, currently ranked 18th in the nation and first in the Mid-Atlantic Region, will look to reclaim the title. Only three Ivy League schools rank above Yale for the Northeast region: Dartmouth (third), Columbia (fourth), and Cornell (sixth). Harvard and Brown rank eighth and 12th, respectively, while Penn ranks sixth in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
The men's race at Van Cortlandt Park kicks off at 11:45 a.m. with the awards ceremony at 12:30 p.m. Additional coverage and live results will be posted on Ivyleaguesports.com and Hepstrack.com. Complete results will be posted on Yalebulldogs.com after the meet.

Linen Jumpsuit
Added Feb 5, 2014

Wellington, New ...
Black linen blend jumpsuit based on the Burda Long Jumpsuit.

Material Notes
I did quite a few adjustments to this project before making it up. I first made a toile to get sizing right. I am 5'10" and this pattern was cut for a petite size, which I certainly am not. I decided to leave the body length as I liked the fit of it better up high on my waist. I didn't do the pockets either because it added bulk to the hips and was not flattering on my body shape. I also tapered in the legs to give a slimmer fit. I didn't want gathered sleeves in my version so adjusted the sleeve pattern piece to remove the gather altogether. I will add belt loops to the back, as the belt sits better with them. I also drafted up a facing for the neck/front to make it a bit more sophisticated, rather than the binding. I also adjusted the front/centre of the pants and closed up the front gusset/panel part that folds over . It looks much tidier.
This project was simple for me, but I am an intermediate/advanced sewer. I definitely find that BurdaStyle patterns in general require some prior sewing and garment construction knowledge by the maker, as some instructions can seem vague or incomplete.
Overall I am really stoked with this project. The fabric works really well. I opted for a drapey fabric as the more structured wovens tend not to flatter the design. But perhaps that is just my preference. I will make another one of these in future. Possibly out of a drapey denim blend.
The shoes are Funkis brand in case anyone is curious. The leather darkens over time into a deep honey brown. Very comfy and made in Sweden! www.funkis.com

I took ages to finally commit to making this jumpsuit. It is a really gorgeous fabric so I wanted to make sure it was going to be something that I loved. I really am happy with it and relieved that my adaptations have come out so well. Thanks for your comment!

Apostolic nuncios are the ambassadors of the Vatican's diplomatic service. Like all ambassadors, their No. 1 rule is not to make waves or headlines when giving speeches. This is usually accomplished through bland diplomatic-speak that must be studied and parsed rather than quoted.
All of which makes the speech that Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò gave to the U.S. bishops at their fall meeting that much more interesting.
It came on the wave of recent news reports about divisions among U.S. Catholic conservatives over Pope Francis, and it suggests that there is at least some high-level concern that such divisions could weaken the Church and its leadership in this country.
In his talk, the nuncio spoke with a minimum of obfuscation about Pope Francis, about the type of bishops the pope wants, and about the need for unity in the U.S. Church. By diplomatic standards, his words were blunt.
Archbishop Viganò summed up the phenomenon of Francis: "As the successor of St. Peter, Pope Francis has made a great impression by drawing and captivating the hearts of men and women throughout the world, inviting them to meet Christ personally in their lives."
As if to underscore Francis' papal pedigree, the archbishop cites Paul VI, John XXIII and John Paul II in his talk, establishing the continuity of Francis with his predecessors. He mentions the great admiration Francis has for Paul VI and his suffering and profound love for the Church.
Archbishop Viganò cites Paul's famous quote in Evangelii Nuntiandi: "Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if it does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses…. It is primarily by her conduct and by her life that the Church will evangelize the world."
Pope Francis, the nuncio said, "is giving us by his own witness an example of how to live a life attuned to the values of the Gospel."
What does this mean for bishops: "The Holy Father wants bishops in tune with their people." He "wants 'pastoral' bishops, not bishops who profess or follow a particular ideology."
What does a pastoral bishop look like? The nuncio quotes Blessed John Paul II on the importance of bishops understanding the ministry, the problems and the sacrifices of their priests. He quoted Pope John that "the sacred deposit of Christian doctrine should be more effectively guarded and taught."
But then Archbishop Viganò implied that there may be "difficult years" ahead. There is a "historical confrontation" coming, he quoted then-Cardinal Wojtyla in a 1976 speech, between "the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the Antichrist."
Pastoral is not code for inoffensive niceness. Instead, the nuncio urged his audience to be attentive, watchful and prepared "to give radical witness to their faith in Jesus Christ."
If the Church is to be strong in the face of trial, it must be unified, and Archbishop Viganò ended his talk with an appeal to "a spirit of real unity among yourselves and, of course, with the successor of Peter, trusting in the way he sees best to live out his mission to mankind."
He acknowledged that U.S. political society is polarized and weakened, but "the Catholic Church will preserve her unity and strength as long as its people have trust in their bishops."
His speech ended by again exhorting the bishops to "give genuine witness to the faithful."
Not just bishops, however. His eloquent exhortation to witness, humility and sacrificial service necessarily applies to all of us who love and work on behalf of our Church in all our ministries and professions.

newbie: Getting Started date: 8.1.99 Getting started with Unix Unix is a multiple user operating system. This means that it is designed to allow several people use the machine at the same time. Unlike some operating systems, when users are accessing it, they have the potential to access and use all parts of the system, even while not sitting at the actual computer. To distinguish users, each person has a 'User ID' (User Identification or UID) that tells the system who is accessing it at a given time. This User ID is a number between 0 and 65535 and gives the machine a way to remember each user and act accordingly. To us, these numbers are awkward and difficult to remember, so us non computers use login names. These login names are eight character alphanumeric IDs, typically in a format that represents names, company employee ID or nickname. "jericho", "bmartin" and "abcd0005" are all valid login names that you might find on a system. Each UID is associated with a login name. For example, on this system the user 'jericho' has a UID of 1000. During system use, I will see most everything referred to as 'jericho', while the system is really tracking everything with the numeric ID. To access your account on a unix box, you must first login to the system. This can be accomplished by sitting down at the system console (physical access), or connecting via a utility/protocol such as telnet, SSH, or FTP. For the purpose of our lessons, we will assume you are logging in to your own system at console. Most unix systems will greet you with something like this: forced login: This is telling you that the machine's name is 'forced', and that it is awaiting user login. At this prompt you type in the name of the super user account (root), or the name of your user account. Upon entering your login name, the system will then challenge you with: forced login: jericho Password: [If this is your first time logging in to a newly installed Unix system, it is advised you immediately create a new account for you to expiriment with. For Linux and FreeBSD, this can most likely be accomplished by running 'adduser' and following the detailed prompts. We will get into adding additional users in more detail later.] At this point, type in the password you previously selected to protect your account. If this is the first time you are logging into a new system, it is likely there is no password set. If this is the case, simply hit the ENTER key. Note: You will not see the password as you type it in! This is done for security reasons, so that anyone looking on will not be able to easily see your password. When you successfully input your password, the system will log you in. On many commercial unix flavors, you will simply be dumped to the command prompt. On more user friendly flavors, it may display where you logged in from last, a system message, notify you of new mail, and more. When all is said and done, this is an example of what you will see: forced login: jericho Password: Last login: Sat Jul 31 15:51:41 1999 from testing.attrition F O R C E D . A T T R I T I O N . O R G ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This computer is privately owned and operated and is in support of ongoing public and semi-public activities. If you are not authorized to access or use this system, disconnect now. Users of this system have no expectation of privacy. Logging in denotes consent to monitoring by ATTRITION.ORG staff or whoever owns us. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You have mail. forced ~$ At this point, the "forced ~$" tells you that you are logged into a machine called 'forced'. The $ prompt represents a user level account and prompt, indicating the system is ready to accept your commands. This is also known as the 'command prompt'. [Warning: The 'root' account is the most powerful account on a unix box. This account should not be used for day to day activity. While using this account, there are very few controls that will stop you from potentially doing damage to your system. Deleting files and destroying information is likely to be permanant.] We will get into passwords much more in depth with another lesson.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- Lipscomb Men's Tennis fall to Austin Peay 6-1 Saturday at Richland indoor tennis facility.
Miguel Cortez at No. 4 recorded the only singles victory this evening against Iago Seffrin 6-4, 6-1.
The Bisons only have five players who can play. They have to give up a match in singles and doubles by default.
"Austin Peay is a tough and experienced team that never takes a point off'," Lipscomb men's tennis coach Mario Hernandez said. "I think they simply out competed us."
Lipscomb lost at both No.1 and No. 2 doubles by close scores.
Miguel Cortez playing at No. 4 was the only Lipscomb player to win a match with a 6-4, 6-1 decision.
In singles matches David Salazar at No. 1 lost to ASPU's Jasmin Ademovic in a straight set fight 6-4, 6-1.
Stuart Tierney at No. 2 lost to Dimitar Ristovoski in a third set counter in which Tierney played a tiebreaker in the second set and finally lost the match to Ristovoski 6-2 in the third set. The final score of the match was 6-4, 5-6 (6), 6-2.
Rob Mitchell at No.3 gave a tough fight to Aleksos Tverijonas in the first set but lost it in the tiebreaker 5-7. Mitchell lost the match to Tverijonas in straight sets 6-5 (5), 6-2.
"These matches are good to have now though, because we are able to learn and improve from them so that we are not making the same mistakes during conference play," Hernandez said.
Lipscomb freshman Nacor Ibanez at No.5 fell 6-0, 6-0 to James Mitchell.
"Our players have to be tougher and more focused for every point without letting up," Hernandez said. "But I ultimately take responsibility for this.
"If we are not as tough as we need to be, that's on me. I need to make sure these next couple of weeks to really push our guys so that we don't have these issues anymore. We won't make this mistake again or ever."
The Bisons will get on road to Kentucky to play against Morehead State University next weekend. The match will start at 2 p.m. Saturday.
1. Ademovic/Tverijonas (APSU) defeated Miguel Cortez/Stuart Tierney (LU) 6-3
2. Seffrin/Ristovski (APSU) defeated David Salazar/Rob Mitchell (LU) 6-4

2000 Ford Explorer ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
America's favorite SUV.
The Ford Explorer is easily the best-selling sport-utility in America. Nearly one of every six sport-utilities sold today is a Ford Explorer. Nearly 2.8 million SUVs were sold in 1998 and some 425,000 of them were Ford Explorers. About 430,000 Explorers were sold in 1999. The Explorer outsold its nearest competitor nearly two-to-one.
What's the significance of all these numbers? Simply this: Ford must be doing something right to sell so many Explorers. Indeed, the Explorer offers something for just about everyone, from budget-priced XLS models to feature-laden Eddie Bauer and premium Limited models. There are two-door and four-door Explorers with V6 and V8 engines and two- and 4-wheel drive.
As if that's not enough, the 2-door Sport model gets its own identity with special styling cues and a new model, the Explorer Sport Trac, will combine the features of a sport-utility and a pickup truck.
For the 2000 model year, the 2-door Sport is available with 4x2 and 4x4 drive trains for $19,970 and $23,070 respectively.
The 4-door Explorer is available in several trim levels. (The XL, with its vinyl seats and manual locks and windows, has been relegated to fleet-buyers only.) The XLS is now the base retail model, listing for $23,290 with two-wheel drive. The XLS includes such niceties as power mirrors, locks and windows, an AM/FM stereo cassette audio system, and aluminum wheels. With 4-wheel drive, the XLS starts at $25,170.
Explorer drivers can move up to the $27,185 XLT, which adds fog lights, privacy glass and interior trim items; the 4x4 XLT lists for $29,150.
Further up the Explorer hierarchy is the Eddie Bauer edition for $31,740 with two-wheel drive. This Explorer adds 16-inch wheels, automatic temperature controls, electrochromatic rearview mirror, upgraded audio and trim items, including leather upholstery. The Eddie Bauer 4x4 starts at $33,705, or $34,120 with all-wheel drive. The Limited is the top of the Explorer line, with more leather plus simulated woodgrain, special wheels and exterior trim, and retails for $31,995 for 4x2, $33,960 for 4x4, $34,375 for AWD.
Just about everything has changed on the Explorer since its 1991 introduction. Still, if asked to describe a sport-utility vehicle, most people could save time by just showing a picture of the Explorer.
The XLT is the typical Explorer, well equipped but not overly fancy or too expensive. It features a bright front and rear bumper with an integrated rub strip. Its compound headlamp array includes the headlights plus parking lights, turn signals and side marker lights in a single aero-curved assembly set into the bright grille surround. The grille itself is simple, with a large crossbar decorated with the Ford blue oval badge and three smaller vertical bars. The rear bumper echoes the front in appearance, but comes standard with a 3500-pound trailer towing capacity. Tri-color taillights and a liftgate with a flip-open rear window finish off the rear.
The Explorer uses an independent short/long arm front suspension with torsion bars and a live axle mounted on two-stage variable-rate leaf springs at the rear. A 4.0-liter pushrod V6 is standard in the XLS and can be upgraded to the 4.0-liter overhead-cam V6 for those wanting more performance. These engines come with a choice of 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. The XLT and more expensive models, however, come standard with a 5.0-liter overhead-valve V8 with a 4-speed automatic. The 215-horsepower V8 cranks out 288 foot-pounds of torque. Ford made its trailer towing package standard on all V8-equipped Explorers.
The inside of the Ford Explorer looks like America's living room, which is appropriate, considering that so many Americans spend so much time there. The front passengers get a pair of comfy captain's chairs, covered in a premium cloth for the XLT. The bench seat offers three-passenger capacity; the rear seat is split so that either half can be folded down for versatility when moving cargo and people at the same time. Big doors make access easy, though the XLT doesn't have the running boards standard on the Eddie Bauer and Limited models. Of course, half the time running boards only get in the way and you wind up with dirt on your pants cuff.
The Explorer has its automatic shifter mounted on the column with an overdrive-off button located on the end, handy when hauling or towing a trailer to prevent automatic transmission hunting (and overheating) in hilly areas. The dash features full instrumentation in a neatly laid out nacelle. The radio and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) controls are centered on the dash in a pod; that pod also houses a knob that controls the 4WD operation. The audio and cabin temperature controls are easy enough to use though we'd prefer an old-fashioned twist knob to control station tuning on the radio. The XLT has a handy center console/arm rest.
Front seat side-impact airbags are optional. Also optional is an ultrasonic sonar system that beeps ever faster as you back up within 6 feet or less of objects behind the vehicle. Considering the poor rear vision SUVs have when backing up, this rear sensing system is an important safety option.
Driving Impression
The Explorer is easier to drive on a daily basis than the bigger SUVs in the Ford stable. It is far more nimble in crowded parking lots with narrow spaces or on forest roads with tight switchbacks. If a small turning circle is paramount, the 2-door is a better choice, at 34.7 feet curb to curb, though the 4-door Explorer manages a fairly nimble 37.3 feet.
The V6 is the most popular engine. But the 5.0-liter V8 assures a certain command of the road with an ability to accelerate with all but the sportiest of automobiles, handy for merging or passing. It's the best choice for doing any towing, with reserve power for climbing hills and bucking headwinds. The V8 offers quiet cruising on the highway.
The Explorer is relatively free of wind noise and only a modicum of road noise filters up to remind you that you're in a truck. But the Explorer is indeed a truck. It's responsive to its rack-and-pinion steering, reacting smartly to a turn of the wheel, but there's no denying the high-mounted center of gravity and overall mass of the vehicle. It handles like a truck. The Explorer's relatively heavy tires and live rear axle arrangement also work against a luxury car ride. On a smooth road, you won't notice, but bumpy roads bring out the truck in the Explorer. It offers a stiffer ride than most cars, but at the same time it provides the feeling that it won't be swallowed up by the next pothole.
The Explorer is the modern American station wagon. If Norman Rockwell were alive today, he'd be painting families in Ford Explorers. The Explorer shares the cargo-hauling capability of the station wagons of yore, but it adds ground clearance and, in 4x4 versions, the promise of all-season mobility. Beyond that, the Explorer offers a utilitarian, outdoorsy image that no minivan can match.

Gay and bisexual men 'neglected' by health services
Stonewall publishes world's largest Gay and Bisexual Men's Health Survey
Report reveals serious concerns about mental health and domestic abuse
Stonewall today publishes the world's largest Gay and Bisexual Men's Health Survey, which reveals that even though Scotland's gay and bisexual men are more likely to attempt suicide or self-harm, have depression, smoke, drink and take illegal drugs, their needs are often overlooked by health services which tend to focus solely on gay men's sexual health.
Stonewall's survey based on responses from nearly 6,900 gay and bisexual men across Britain – available online at www.stonewallscotland.org.uk/gaymenshealth – also found that gay and bisexual Scots are more likely than men in general to have experienced domestic abuse from a family member or partner. Three in four of those who have faced abuse have never reported it to the police, and a quarter of those who did report were not happy with how the police dealt with the situation.
Colin Macfarlane, Director, Stonewall Scotland said: 'This deeply troubling report provides hard evidence that Scotland's gay and bisexual men are being let down by health services which often see homosexuality and bisexuality purely as sexual health issues. As a result hundreds of thousands of gay and bisexual men are in dire need of better support from health professionals. The findings send a stark message that Scotland's health services need to rethink how they approach many of their patients and our report makes a number of recommendations which could help them improve. We hope they will rise to that challenge.'

I'm inspecting the contents of a gentleman's chest. It has survived nearly five centuries buried in the silt of the English Channel. And yes, I feel like I'm in a time warp.
There are a pair of shoes neatly placed together, the remains of several different woollen garments and a pear-shaped leather drinking flask that has its cork and the remains of the strap from which it would hang. The jewelry includes a silver ring with a stone setting. There's also a cowrie shell. In the 16th century, it was currency on the east coast of Africa and the even more distant islands of the Pacific. So what was it doing on the Mary Rose when Henry VIII's formidable warship sank on July 19, 1545?
The presence of that shell is but one mystery you encounter in the extraordinary new Mary Rose Museum in the south of England. Even more tantalizing is the riddle of why the great vessel, which had been in service for 34 years, went under. It happened in full view of the king while leading the attack on a French invasion fleet during the battle of The Solent.
Theories abound: the Mary Rose was carrying too much weight; it had been thrown over by a heavy gust of wind while changing course.
"They are drowned like ratten," Henry commented glumly as he watched his most treasured warship vanish in the waves.
Some of the dead - along with much of the ship - have returned to haunt us. They exist in an eerie half-life after resting undisturbed for more than 400 years in The Solent silt.
In a glass case is the skeleton of the vessel's master carpenter: thanks to the miracle of 21st century forensics, we know he had rotting teeth, an abscess in his lower jaw that forced him to chew on one side, and he suffered from spinal arthritis.
He and other occupants of this doomed vessel wouldn't be available to us now - along with awesome forensic reconstructions of their facial features - had not the Mary Rose been finally raised from its watery grave three decades ago.
That rescue operation was a miracle. But it didn't prepare archeologists and historians for the treasure that emerged with it. Nor, at the time, were they were able to envisage a museum in which the vast oak hull of the Mary Rose, in all its battered glory, could play such a majestic role.
"The Mary Rose is the English Pompeii, preserved by water, not fire," historian David Starkey said after visiting the museum last year.
"All Tudor life is there; it's like stepping inside a Holbein painting."
Raising of the wreckage between 1979 and 1982 was the largest maritime archeological excavation. The result is the world's most significant collection of Tudor artifacts.
The Mary Rose Museum has a Canadian connection, with financial support from the Garfield Weston Foundation. It's fittingly located in the astonishing Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, which is still a working facility for the Royal Navy while also inviting visitors to celebrate 800 years of naval history.
The museum is tucked behind Nelson's famous flagship, Victory. Its sudden emergence through the mist reveals a ghostly cocoon that makes its own dramatic statement even before you join the lineup for the next timed entrance.
"It is architecturally striking, isn't it?" says dockyard press officer Holly Westwood. "You can see they've put some portholes in, as well, so they've really tried to emulate the shape. It took a lot of time to build, and when you'll go inside you really appreciate it - when you see the ship on one side and the artifacts on the other."
Among the many glories, the crowning one occurs down a long corridor where you find the past beckoning with every step.
Conservation was the priority when the hull of the Mary Rose first emerged from the water. It had been preserved for centuries by mud; once out of the mud, it had to be protected from the modern world. Spraying its oaken timbers with fresh water and a water-soluble polymer were key to its continuing survival. The process continued for years, and even now with the breathtaking starboard half of the ship fully visible from this windowed corridor, it continues - for the time being - to be sealed offin a "hotbox."
Along this 50-metre stretch, we experience the power of this relic of Tudor glory. We're passing along the equivalent of the middle deck here, with the port side a showcase of priceless artifacts as they might have been positioned minutes before the ship sank. The dim lighting is intentional - bringing further immediacy to the rusting remains of a wheeled cannon, a gnarled ship's chest, cannon balls large and small, huge coils of rope resting ominously above us. They "glow in their cases, like gems on dark velvet," the Telegraph newspaper wrote last year. It's all real, although Perspex is occasionally used to outline a missing portion of an artifact.
As we move away from the battered hull of the only 16th-century warship on display anywhere, and explore the museum's other galleries, that sense of immediacy remains palpable.
Those who lived and died on the Mary Rose are never reduced to museum specimens. You find a very real humanity and poignancy in the nit combs, some with bits of 500-year-old lice in the teeth; in the 10 musical instruments that were recovered; in the rosary beads and a calfskin leather book cover; in a huge cauldron that sits under the remnants of a brick fireplace.
From a surgeon's chest comes a flask that held wine for the purpose of washing out wounds, a mortar for grinding medicines, a spatula for spreading ointment.
Touch a nearby screen to find a modern re-enactment of paste being mixed to put on a wound and a patient clenching his teeth in pain as wine is poured over an open injury.
War and its consequences cannot be viewed in the abstract. So you can't ignore the implications of the three "wildfire" darts that were salvaged from the wreck: these were spears whose wrappings of gunpowder and oil were guaranteed to unleash fiery havoc on the enemy.
The human dimension is always present. We even learn about the weekly rations for the crew. On Wednesday, a pound of biscuits, a gallon of beer, a quarter fish, two ounces of butter and four ounces of cheese. Why so much beer? There were problems in keeping drinking water fresh at sea.
And, of course, the wonders of forensic science play a role in bringing us face to face with an archer - the groove in a finger bone indicates his occupation - as well as the master carpenter, a ship's cook, and a master gunner, among others.
The same technology used by modern police to identify murder victims from their skeletons is employed to help us into a more intimate relationship with what we're viewing. For, after all, this astounding museum is dedicated to those who died on the Mary Rose all those centuries ago.
Surely the ship's dog - a whippet-terrier cross with strong jaws good for catching rats - must be part of that honour roll. His skeleton, found near the master carpenter's cabin, communicates its own special poignancy.

Small Business Profile
Consult A Doctor makes bottom lines healthier
CEO Wolf Shlagman [Photo: Daniel Portnoy]
But as the recession was beginning, companies were reluctant to pay for their employees' memberships. So Shlagman focused on marketing to insurance companies and brokers. The company conducted pilot programs to get the data it needed, bringing companies onboard by guaranteeing they would save money on healthcare costs. Doug Smith, founder of Minute Clinic, joined the company as chief medical officer.
Armed with venture capital funding, Consult A Doctor expanded rapidly last year, with revenue in "the $3-million to $5-million range," Shlagman says. Customers include Pepsi, hospital chain HCA and Minnesota-based health plan Medica. It expects to release an iPhone app soon, with an Android app to follow.
With healthcare legislation drawing attention to cost savings and access to care, Shlagman believes the company is on the verge of "hyper" expansion. He has been flying around the country looking to raise capital to fund it. "There's quite a bit of appetite right now for these types of solutions, so the investment community is looking hard at this space," he says. This fall, the company was selected to present at both the Enterprise Development Corp.'s Emerging Technology Business Showcase and Florida International University's Americas Venture Capital Conference, where it won the grand prize as "Top Global Innovative Venture."

Rosacea Patients Feel Effects of Their Condition in Social Settings
Most rosacea patients feel the negative social impact of their condition regardless of which rosacea subtype they may have, according to the results of a new National Rosacea Society survey.
While 61 percent of those with only subtype 1 (erythematotelangiectatic) rosacea, characterized by facial redness, said their rosacea had inhibited their social lives, the number rose to 72 percent among those who reported their redness was moderate or severe. Seventy-seven percent of patients with the bumps and pimples of subtype 2 (papulopustular) rosacea alone noted that their social life had been negatively impacted, and 85 percent of patients whose symptoms included subtype 3 (phymatous) rosacea, involving thickening of the skin, had been negatively affected.
Among the respondents who had the eye irritation of subtype 4 (ocular) rosacea, 71 percent said the disorder's effects had inhibited their social lives.
The most common complaint, cited by 50 percent of the 801 respondents, was having to refuse food or drink they normally would enjoy for fear of triggering a rosacea flare-up. Forty-three percent said they had been the subject of stares, misconceptions, rude comments or jokes, and 39 percent had refused or canceled social engagements because of rosacea's effects on appearance. Other common complaints included not participating in physical activities they would enjoy, reported by 37 percent, and avoiding new or different experiences, cited by 28 percent.
"It's important for rosacea patients to use a diary to identify and avoid only those things that affect their individual cases," said Dr. Lisa Maier, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Michigan. "This process can reduce the effect of rosacea on social activities, as certain foods and other factors that may trigger a rosacea flare-up in one patient may not affect another."
Combining all subtypes, those who characterized their rosacea symptoms as "severe" reported the most negative social effects of the condition. Ninety-three percent said the disorder had inhibited them socially, and their most prevalent complaint (named by 72 percent) was having to refuse or cancel social engagements. Having to refuse food or drink was cited by 67 percent.
"The good news is that medical therapy, combined with trigger avoidance, can help to reduce rosacea's impact on most patients," Dr. Maier said. Survey results bear this out, as 63 percent of the respondents reported improvement following medical therapy.

Trans Europa Express
next on air Tuesday, 30 October 2012 - 11:00am to 1:00pm
Trans Europa Express takes you on a musical journey through Europe - where modern dance music is often infused with tradition folk-elements - so you can dance to lovely "Crossovers" where Folk meets Club-, Gypsy meets Hip Hop and Tango meets Lounge music.
Ranging from Eastern European Gypsy, Balkan and Klezmer-tunes to Electronic Club sounds from Austria, Germany, Belgium or Italy - bathing in French Chansons, Finnish Tango, Spanish Flamenco, Portuguese Fado and much more - there are no borders and inspiration is what it is all about....
The people who listen to the show always know in which mood I was when choosing the songs. I play music to dance to as well as some slow, melancholic pieces from time to time. As I come from Europe there is often some memories and emotional attachment involved, and I hope my listeners feel that too. Generally I am a cheerful person that loves to dance and have fun – and that is what you can experience on TEE – music to dance and to relax to - Music that brings you on a journey....
Hop on and join the TEE for that musical journey!

Not all the best Swiss watch brands of the highest quality have ancient pedigrees and are owned by luxury conglomerates. Some of the finest watch companies are boutique upstarts. Penta has previously written, for example, about new entrepreneurial watch design companies like Urwerk and Janvier. Add Francois-Paul Journe to this elite group of relatively new high-end watch designers. He began making watches 30 years ago, and incorporated his brand in 1999, the eponymous Swiss watch company F.P. Journe.
Throughout November, F.P. Journe's latest creation has been on a world tour with stops in Asia and Europe. Last night was its official North American launch, at the company's Madison Avenue boutique in New York City. It's called the Chronometre Optimum and is part of the brand's Souveraine collection, Journe's line of manual watches. The brand's other collection, Octa, includes only automatic watches.
The F.P. Journe motto appears on each timepiece, "Invenit et Fecit," Latin for "invented and made," in reference to the watchmaker's initial-brainstorm-to-final-polish production, all in-house. The company produces about 900 watches a year.
The dial of the Chronometre Optimum manages to be eye-catching and clear while including a number of indications. Two concentric mini faces indicate hours and minutes; an adjacent smaller face indicates seconds. At seven o'clock there's a power reserve gage spanning 0 to 70 hours. All hands are made in blue steel, a signature of the brand.
An even smaller circle at eleven o'clock gives a peek at the constant-force remontoire, a titanium component that stores and releases power once every second, helping to balance the force of the escapement, the part of the watch that releases energy at a constant rate.
The surprise on the back of the watch is a dead-beat second. Connected to the remontoire, it's an indication that ticks (and stops) every second like an automatic or quartz watch, as opposed to a continuous sweeping second hand that is more typical in manual watches, including on the face of the Optimum.
The Chronometre Optimum costs $85,000 in red gold and $90,000 in platinum.

1952 tape recording
1952 tape recording refers to an audio recording by George Sayer of J.R.R. Tolkien in late August 1952.
Tolkien was visiting his friends (George Sayer and his wife) when the recording of Tolkien singing and reading excerpts from The Hobbit and the then unpublished manuscript of The Lord of the Rings was performed. The recording includes the poem "The Mirror of Galadriel", originally meant for inclusion in Book Two of The Fellowship of the Ring.

- All of Blindsaver.com's window fashions are custom fabricated according to the dimensions given on your order.
- Measurements must be exact to ensure a proper fit. For this reason measure to the nearest 1/8".
- Always measure the exact window intended for the blind. Every window in your home is a unique opening and may differ in exact measurements.
- For accurate measurements always use a 3/4" or 1" steel tape measure.
- To eliminate mistakes first measure the width and write it down then measure the height and write it down.
- Do not take any deductions for mounting clearance on inside mounts. Deductions will be taken by the manufacturers at the factory.
- Please read the rest of our measuring guides and download our measuring worksheet. Links can be found below.

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
Logitech killed the Squeezebox ReceiverRoku killed the SoundbridgeI want to buy something that's going to be supported by the manufacturer, and obviously by LinuxMCE. What are my options?
Thanks Andrew.I don't really want to buy another touch interface (that's what my orbiters are for) and I want to use my own speakers so the Logitech SB products that are still offered don't appeal.I'm looking at putting squeezeslave on a plugcomputer (dreamplug) (http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-dreamplugdetails.aspx#hw_block). By chance do you have any experience with this?
We have never looked in detail at any of the 'plug' PC's because they all seem to suffer significant cooling/reliability issues.... but we are looking at an custom ARM based board that would achieve the same ends ie a low power/low cost 'node' that could be used for audio or video. To help us get our production volumes up we will probably sell a version of this board 'bare' with a Ubuntu build in Flash to the community... pricing is by no means worked through yet but we'd hope to get it into peoples hands for around $75. We will also build the same board into a number of Dianemo 'nodes' and this version will have custom Dianemo firmware image supplied with it and packaged in a custom engineered enclosure. Pricing on the Dianemo 'nodes' has not been finalised yet.Anyway I think you are going in the right direction for sure with Squeezeslave + hardware.All the bestAndrew
Andrew,Could you tell us a bit more about your ARM-based-board project?Maybe in a new thread, sounds very interesting.Br,Raymond

History |

Annotate |
Added launch files for the demo and made a little change to theargument checker to make them work.
Added maps and menus in scoutsim.
Menu options for about, quit, clear, and viewing different maps.
Updated the licensing information in many files.
This is a broken commit because I decided to do this at a bad time. Sorry! The build will be working after next commit, I promise (and I won't push till then). This commit reflects the licensing in the files after I used my auto-add/remove script.
Got motor control working with scoutsim
Behaviors can now use the MotorControl class to change the speed of the motors in the simulator. The simulator correctly handles the command.At the moment, the set_motors command is limited to 'scout1'. We should look into prefixes to specify which scout (scout1, scout2, etc) each behavior should command....
Made a lot of changes to the general structure.
Applied object-orienting techniques to the code, cleaning it up considerably. Major design changes are as follows:
Added a template scout simulator class.
Scoutsim is modeled directly from turtlesim. At this point, the only changes are in names and indentation. A separate licensing file was also added to get rid of the junk at the top of the old turtlesim files.

Pangea is the name of the original super-continent which contained all the world's land mass before the continents started splitting apart 250 million years ago. We're launching Pangea Day with the vision that the people of the world can begin to overcome their divisions, and that the power of film can help make it possible.
Movies can't change the world. But the people who watch them can. I'm hosting a party at my home, why not consider having your library host one too?

I'll PM you the script.Originally posted by The_Dan
Problem 1:
I can't access the script for TBaseBot. Whenever, I try to access it UED crashes. I need to access the script becuase I want to see what functions I can manually access & I want some way of "fooling" the bots into thinking they saw something (I want Bots to act like humans, that can't be 100% sure that what they saw was a thief or a trick of the light).

10.30.12: The CCRI Knights' men's basketball team is coming off one their best seasons in program history and the NJCAA Division II men's basketball poll is reflecting last year's success. In the NJCAA Pre-season poll released Thursday October 25th, the Knights are ranked No. 3 overall!
In 2011-12 the Knights had one of their best seasons in program history with a program record 31- wins to go against just five losses. The Knights also captured both the New England and Northeast Championships to earn the trip to the National Tournament where they defeated Penn Valley C. C., Baltimore City C.C. and South Suburban C.C. before taking on Mott the defending National Champions in the National Final Game. It was CCRI's second appearance in the school's history in the National Championship Game. The CCRI Knights dream season came to and in the Division II Men's Basketball National Championship game with a 70-60 loss to the National Champion Bears of Mott Community College from Flint. MI.
The Knight has an impressive crew of returning players led by first Team All-American Desmond Williams (Torrington, CT) and his backcourt mate Bryan Yarce (Cranston, RI) an All- Region XXI honoree who had a 4:1 Turnover Ratio as a freshman while dishing out 233 assist and also swiping 92 steals. They will be joined again by 6'6" forward Isaac Medeiros (Johnston, RI) and 6'2"shooting guard Steve Bevilacqua (Exeter, RI). All four were major contributors last year for the Knights and are battle-tested and prepared to help get the Knights back on top.
They will be joined by many newcomers. According to Head Coach Rick Harris "The newcomers are quick, strong and talented and could be one of the most talented teams that have ever taken the CCRI hardwood floor." Post players include: 6'8" Elijah Okagbare (Bourne, MA), 6'7" Patrick Marchand (Cranston, RI) and 6'7" Alioune Ndiaye (Senegal, Africa). Coach Harris believes the size and talent of this group will create difficult match-ups for DII opponents, along with the size needed to compete with the DI teams the Knights will face. The wing and guard positions are manned by a combination of slashers, shooters and ball-handlers. That group includes: 6'1" combo guard Jerome Harris (Hartford, CT), 6'2" forward Shaquille Rickets (Hartford, CT), 6'2" shooting guard Chris Light (Derry, NH), 6'0" guard Mike Ferrante (North Providence, RI), 5'11" shooting guard Rob Hazard (North Providence, RI), 6'2" forward Rudy Brito (Pawtucket, RI), 6'0" point guard Rob Alers (Central Falls, RI) and 6'4" forward Steve Rush (Cranston, RI). Late additions to the team include: 6'3"forward Flavio Barros (Woonsocket, RI) and 6'0" point guard Pat Doyle (Narragansett, RI).
Coach Harris and his staff believe that with this collection of talent, all the pieces are in place to have a season to remember if all the players come together as one cohesive unit. Coach Harris added "Personal agendas have to be put aside and the goal of becoming a team that works as one and seeks team glory over individual glory must become the common theme. I also feel that the addition of Pat Dame to an already potent coaching staff including Carmine Goneconte and Andy Jackson is one which will provide the team with every opportunity to improve daily and reach their potential." The 2012 - 2013 CCRI Knights have begun to take the necessary steps to reach their goal of returning to the NJCAA DII National Championship in Danville, Illinois in March.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

By 2025, every car on the road will be "connected" in some way. The connected car combines the vehicle, communications, and the Internet of Things. Given the mission-critical safety requirements of modern vehicles and the need for interchangeable multi-vendor components to work together reliably, designers face more challenges than ever before.
Fortunately, making the "rubber meet the road" for the connected car is what we do best. Keysight is ready to help you drive your devices, systems, applications, and even the entire in-vehicle network over the finish line.
5G Paves the Way for Greater Connectivity
Telecommunications and the latest automotive technologies are merging rapidly to enable the autonomous vehicle of the future.
Keysight's innovations in 5G design and test solutions together with our focus on enabling autonomous driving technologies promise to help designers and manufacturers bring the Connected Car to the next level of functionality sooner.
Verify Automotive Ethernet Testing
Automotive Ethernet provides the new backbone for faster automotive networks to serve autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which need higher bandwidth and lower latency. It is fast replacing slower conventional networks like CAN, LIN and MOST, which cannot meet the data transmission speeds of modern ADAS and infotainment applications.
Keysight's innovative automotive Ethernet design and test solutions help you to meet industry standards from physical layer 1 through higher-layer protocols up to level 7. We also continue to provide a variety of serial bus tests for I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, CAN FD, CXPI, SENT, LIN, FlexRay, BroadR-Reach, and MOST to serve the automotive industry's networking needs.
Connect the Car
Connected cars are typically equipped with wireless access and WLAN. This allows the car to communicate via the internet with other devices, both inside and outside the vehicle, and with other vehicles and nearby infrastructure nodes.
Connected cars share information on road and traffic conditions to allow nearby cars to take appropriate action. Many refer to this as V2X or "vehicle to anything" communications. Some of the wireless technologies used include cellular, LTE, LTE-Advanced, WLAN (802.11p), Bluetooth, and near-field communication (NFC). 5G will also be used. Our wireless test solutions allow you to verify the various types of wireless technologies used in the connected car. Our powerful cellular + Wi-Fi emulation system delivers performance results from protocol signaling tests for a complete cellular and Wi-Fi system.
Validate Emergency Call (eCall) Systems
In case of an emergency, seconds mean the difference between life and death. Cars equipped with emergency calling services require validation.
Our eCall conformance test solutions perform end-to-end functional and standards-compliant conformance testing of eCall and ERA-GLONASS (Russian version of eCall) modules to save more lives.
Eliminate Interference
In a connected car, too much electromagnetic interference can cause sensitive electronic equipment to degrade and eventually, to malfunction. A false triggering of the car's ignition system is a prime example. Ensuring the car's compliance with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards and requirements is, therefore, critical. With our solutions, you can mitigate this risk by accurately evaluating emissions, identifying suspect signals, and diagnosing causes of non-compliant emissions.
Simplify Infotainment System Testing
Current and future automotive radio infotainment systems consist of wireless connectivity, GPS, display, and more. This will make manufacturers face various challenges to test all of these parameters while maintaining low manufacturing cost.
Keysight's advanced infotainment test solutions help you measure your most demanding devices with a low residual distortion of <-110 dB while simplifying your testing environment with automatic tests and built-in test sequences.
Automotive Meets Smart Technologies
Learn the fastest way to test some of the most complex smart car technologies.

Dame Beryl Bainbridge, in full Dame Beryl Margaret Bainbridge, (born November 21, 1932?, Liverpool, England—died July 2, 2010, London), English novelist known for her psychologically astute portrayals of lower-middle-class English life.
Bainbridge grew up in a small town near Liverpool and began a theatrical career at an early age. (Sources differ on her birth year. Although Bainbridge believed it was either 1932 or 1934, her birth was reportedly registered in 1933.) She acted in various repertory theatres for many years before she published her first novel. Her work often presents in a comical yet macabre manner the destructiveness latent in ordinary situations. In A Weekend with Claud (1967), an experimental novel, the titular hero is a predatory, violent man. Another Part of the Wood (1968) concerns a child's death resulting from adult neglect. Harriet Said (1972) deals with two teenage girls who seduce a man and murder his wife. Other novels in this vein are The Bottle Factory Outing (1974), Sweet William (1975), A Quiet Life (1976), and Injury Time (1977). In Young Adolf (1978), Bainbridge imagines a visit Adolf Hitler might have paid to a relative living in England before World War I. Winter Garden (1980) is a mystery about an English artist who disappears on a visit to the Soviet Union. Subsequent novels include An Awfully Big Adventure (1989; filmed 1995), The Birthday Boys (1991), Every Man for Himself (1996), Master Georgie (1998), and According to Queeney (2001).
In addition to her fiction, Bainbridge wrote several television plays, and she published work that underscores what she considered the cultural and ethical disintegration of contemporary life. English Journey; or, The Road to Milton Keynes (1984) is a diary she kept in 1983 during the filming of a television series for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). She also published Front Row: Evenings at the Theatre: Pieces from the Oldie (2005), a collection of reviews and other writings on theatre. Bainbridge was made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 2000.

Some Points to Consider When Examining Limited Atonement
November 23, 2010 8 Comments
I think I prefer the term Particular Redemption over Limited Atonement but the concept is the same. In this article, Robertson lists several points in favor of limited atonement Roger Nicole made from chapter 5 of his book Our Sovereign Savior. One of the best points is
The real issue is the design or intent of the Father when he sent his Son to die on the cross and purchase redemption for sinners. Since all sinners do not get saved then there is either a limit in the effectiveness of the atonement or a limit in its intent. Was God doing something to save all sinners and failed? Or was God purchasing the salvation of the elect and succeeded?
I have heard this before. I have used this myself. I have yet to hear a reasonable response to this. That does not mean that one does not exist but I have yet to encounter it. Please read the list and leave a comment with your response to any one or all of them.

Honeywell launched the TrueSteam™ humidification system, a new highperformance, application flexible system that allows homeowners to select their desired humidity set points independent from air temperature. Three models offer different control options. The TrueSteam system provides the high efficiency and decreased water consumption of steam-based humidification, with more versatile installation options, sources say.
The Honeywell TrueSteam humidification system requires a small 1.75 –in. cut into ductwork and then easily mounts on a separate, lightweight bracket. The system's push terminals enable easy wiring and are routed through an interior harness so no wires are exposed. In addition, the system can be remotely mounted up to 20-ft. away from the desired humidification zone, providing limitless installation opportunities. This flexibility is particularly well suited for HVAC equipment in unconditioned or tightly fit areas such as attics, crawl spaces or mechanical rooms, where traditional flow-through humidification was not possible. The TrueSTEAM system uses multiple water sensors located in a separate compartment to accurately monitor water levels. The system's patented condensate collect dome and nozzle prevents water from condensing out of the unit and ensures only true steam is delivered into the airflow. The system uses up to 70% less water, and delivers a near 1:1 humidification delivery rate. This is to provide users with reliable and efficient moisture levels, sources report.

A new air handler from Trane has what sources describe as the industry's only one-inch filter to remove up to 99% of airborne allergens from filtered air down to 0.3 microns.
The 2/4TEE3D air handler has a built-in Trane CleanEffectsTM filter, the patented technology that is 100 times more effective than typical one-inch filters, according to company spokespersons. Integrating the technology into the air handler and the Trane two-stage XV90i furnace eliminates the need for a separate, whole-house air cleaning appliance. This saves space and installation time and costs.
Trane sources say the cleanable filter never needs replacing, which also reduces operating costs for homeowners.
Visit www.Trane.com for additional information.
Zonefirst has introduced a new Outlet Zone Damper (OZD).
When trying to add zoning — especially to older homes — the ducts aren't always accessible for damper insertion. The OZD solves this problem by allowing the technician to insert the damper at the outlet, behind the existing floor/wall register or ceiling diffuser. The thin profile — less than 3.5-in. with motor — allows the damper to insert into the floor duct boot. The OZD is powered by Zonefirst's plug-in damper motor and includes 100-ft. of plenum rated cable that can be run through the duct system back to the zoning panel.
The OZD is an opposed-blade damper powered by a plug-in damper that allows up to ten dampers to be controlled from one zone. The ability to control up to 10 dampers provides maximum flexibility to combine several rooms into one zone, or to have each room as a zone.

A Shout is a specialized language native to dragons. It is said that people were once born with the ability to speak in the dragon tongue, but have lost it over time. Now only a very select/rare few called Dragonborn have the natural aptitude for this ancient language. They can master a shout much quicker than others. Congratulations, like everyone else who plays this game, Your character is one of those rare breeds.
Shouts are separate from Powers and other magic. Shouts do not consume Magicka, but do undergo varying recharge periods. The longer the duration (hold the button) of the shout, the more powerful the effect and the longer the cooldown period. After using a shout, this global cooldown period is indicated by a blue coloring of the on-screen compass. When this coloring fades, the player is again able to use a shout. It's important to note that there are some points in the game you will HAVE to use shouts to get through obstacles, to various platforms or even to fight.
Each Shout is comprised of three Words. Not surprisingly, the Shout increases in strength as you learn more words, culminating in a longer and more powerful version of the Shout once all three Words are combined. The individual words of each Shout are learned from Word Walls in the world. Once you find a word, you must unlock it with a Dragon soul to use it. You can upgrade a shout by spending dragon souls on it to make it even more powerful( only if the shout is upgradable). Dragon souls are obtained by slaying dragons.
Shout List[edit]
- Animal Allegiance
- Aura Whisper
- Become Ethereal
- Call Dragon
- Call of Valor
- Clear Skies
- Disarm
- Dismaying Shout
- Dragonrend
- Drain Vitality
- Elemental Fury
- Fire Breath
- Frost Breath
- Ice Form
- Kyne's Peace
- Marked for Death
- Slow Time
- Storm Call
- Soul Tear
- Summon Durnehviir
- Throw Voice
- Unrelenting Force
- Whirlwind Sprint
Note that Drain Vitality, Soul Tear, and Summon Durnehviir are from the Dawnguard DLC.
Shout Locations[edit]
Many shouts can be found through the course of the main quest and some will even be given to you (this will save you from having to go dragon hunting). Feel free to view the full list of Shout Locations. For some easy ones, watch the video below.
