Free Advanced Mobile Care for Android
It should be no surprise that smart computing devices are outselling traditional desktop and laptop computers. There is an intensive battle for market share of operating systems for these smart devices, which includes smart phones, tablets and related devices. The primary combatants are Google with its Android operating system, Apple with its iOS, and Microsoft with its newly released Windows 8 version for smart devices. While it may appear that Apple seems to get the most media coverage and has a large and very loyal user base, published reports indicate that Google's Android is outselling Apple by a wide margin, with Microsoft barely getting an "honorable mention."
As smart devices become more powerful and more widely used, they are encountering many of the same types of software and security issues faced by their older cousins. Many of the traditional software and security companies have versions of their products for smart devices, while countless smaller companies and individuals have also created system utilities for smart devices. With their prolific numbers, and the fact that more of us are using our smart devices for daily transactions, including as an "electronic wallet," it was inevitable that cyber crooks, malware authors, and other miscreants would start to target smart devices of all operating systems. While there are many smart device security utilities that protect against malware, and there are many other system utilities to maintain and improve smart device performance, there are relatively few comprehensive utilities that perform both essential tasks. One well known software publisher with many millions of loyal PC users recently introduced just such a product for Android smart devices, IObit's Advanced Mobile Care, which is available as a free 3.1mb download from the Google Play store.
IObit calls its newest free product a "... security and optimization app ... (that) gives Android users an excellent way to protect their smartphones from Android security and performance problems." Using a build of its respected anti-malware engine of PC fame, IObit provides significant protection from the malware targeting the Android platform with dramatically increasing frequency. Also integrated into the new Advanced Mobile Care is an Android optimized build of its wildly successful and popular Advanced System Care (more than 150 million downloads of the PC version). This feature provides for a comprehensive system tune-up of the smart device, including memory recovery (cleaning), deletion of obsolete cache files, and the removal of useless junk files. By performing these system maintenance tasks, Android speed and performance can be improved, while minimizing the content for the limited storage capacity of the device.
In addition to protecting an Android device from malware and improving general system performance, Advanced Mobile Care also offers Android users additional functionality and features. In terms of usability, malware detection and removal, junk file cleaning and system improvement functions are all started with a "One Tap Scan," which commences the complete scanning and cleaning process. Many people have become avid game players on their Android devices; this IObit product includes "Game Speeder," which serves as a game launcher that can improve the performance and speed of the games.
Compared to PCs and laptops, most Android devices have much less built-in storage that can hold the apps and operating system, which can restrict the number and size of apps that could be on the Android device at any time. Almost all Android devices can optionally utilize some form of additional storage, typically some variety of SD memory card that can hold many more apps (programs), music, videos, and other data. Coupled with the fact that there are nearly a million apps for the Android, many of which are free, Android users often download more apps than they can likely use. To better meet the needs of Android users, Advanced Mobile Care includes an App Manager which can display all of the apps on the device sorted by frequency of use, name, or size. The App Manager can also be used to uninstall unwanted apps as well as free up internal storage by moving apps to the SD card, freeing up the integral memory and storage for other functions.
One common complaint in the smart phone and tablet blogs, regardless of operating system, is limited battery life. On more than one occasion, my smart phone shut down unexpectedly when the battery power dropped below a predetermined level. I was initially unaware that many of the apps that I had loaded were continuously running (Facebook, Gmail, Groupon, and others) and were resource hogs, all of which combined to drain the battery faster than I had expected. Advanced Mobile Care offers a "Battery Saver" utility that offers three user selected battery management modes in order for the user to better control battery usage. With the Battery Saver integrated with a Task Killer, the user can easily decide which apps to kill. By stopping unnecessary apps from running, battery power is conserved and memory is freed, leading to improved performance and longer battery life. The Battery Saver displays the projected remaining battery life with different combinations of running apps, as well as the remaining time to recharge the battery during the charge cycle.
Because of their inherent portability, smart devices seem to be borrowed by others, and sometimes "misplaced" (lost or stolen). Many of us carry a large quantity of personal information on our smart devices, which could be purloined by others in possession of our devices. Our personal information may be valuable to others, especially to identity thieves who might make illicit use of our sensitive data. Advanced Mobile Care includes a password protected "Privacy Locker" that enables the user to hide and secure sensitive information, as well as personal photos, family videos, and other content from those whom we do not want to share that information.
Advanced Mobile Care, available for free from the Google Play store, will run on almost all contemporary Android devices.

Is anyone on here going to use Dr. prior to their name once they receive their Juris Doctor? I once had a professor who would always write out their name as Dr. So and So Phd. Now THAT is overkill!
The overkill comes in by using Dr. AND PhD while citing their name. Actually, I have talked to a few scholars and they say that Attorneys have the same entitlement to Dr. as PhDs.

Course content.
What you need to know. Anatomy and physiology are demanding fields of study requiring the student to be disciplined and attentive to detail. There is much to learn and a very short period in which to learn it. Students who attend the lectures regularly, take adequate notes during lecture, and study regularly do well in these courses. While there are no formal prerequisites at this time, a baseline of knowledge, as might be learned in high school, is presumed: a working command of spoken and written English; the ability to perform basic arithmetic operations; an elementary knowledge of plane and solid geometry; basic biology, including structure of the cell, evolution, and development; basic chemistry, including atomic structure, elements, compounds, and energy; and some knowledge of physics, such as the laws of motion. Add to this list as a very strongly suggested skill set is the ability to use a computer, e-mail, and the Internet productively. Not only will this allow you to use the lecture-note pages to the fullest, but it will also permit easy and rapid communication between you and your instructor, you and your classmates, you and your University.
This may look like a formidable list, but do not be put off by it; there is nothing in the list that should not be expected of any student taking a college biology course, let alone anatomy and physiology. Except for the language issue, any deficit can be overcome by additional reading and study by the student at the appropriate time.
Studying. I am not an expert in designing effective study habits, but I will offer a few suggestions:
1. Be interested in the material. I believe that even if every other suggestion is ignored, when a student is truly interested in a subject, he or she takes the time to explore it in greater detail. The more one investigates something, the more expert one becomes.
2. Study often. Try not to wait until the night before a midterm or final to cram. If one studies a little bit after each class session, not only does the material seem more familiar, but there is the chance for additional consolidation of the material into memory. Some authorities recommend at least two hours of study for each hour of lecture material.
3. Study what is important. Always study the material presented in lecture and any assigned reading. I would be remiss if I did not emphasize how important it is to go to class. Additional reading of the textbook or linked web pages should not be ignored, but if pressed for study time, go with learning the material that the test is known to cover.
4. Generate questions and answers. And do not make them trivially simple. Test them out on other students in the class. Solve problems. Use the study/quiz questions in your textbook.
5. Study as a group. If the group members test one another, make sure that at least one person in the group knows the correct answer to the test question.
6. Seek extra help. As with studying, do not wait until the last minute. For one thing, you will have lost the context of the problem. If you do not understand something, ask the instructor after class, or ask your laboratory teaching assistant, or e-mail the instructor.
7. Use Blackboard™. To help you with this course, a Blackboard™ site has been set up. That site has useful items and links that can improve your studying and grade in this course. Here are some of the components of Blackboard™:
Format. Lecture examinations (and, if given, quizzes) will be in multiple-choice/true-false format. Unless otherwise noted, questions will be based on the material presented in lecture; the lecture outlines available through the syllabus web page links will serve as a guide for the material covered. This statement does not preclude the possibility of questions being asked which might serve to test the student's ability to visualize, analyze, or interpret other data germane to the field of inquiry. In addition, questions will not just test rote memorization of data, but some may require the student to analyze data to arrive at the correct answer.
From time to time, questions may be added as lateral-thinking challenges to the student. Answering these questions is voluntary on the part of the student, and any answer, or lack thereof, will in no way affect the grade earned by the student on the didactic portion of the examination.
Exam protocol. Students must put away all study materials (textbooks, notes, review cards, whatever) at the time the examinations are handed out; further review of material once the exam has been distributed will not be permitted. It is incumbent upon the student to read the examination instructions carefully, to heed any additions or corrections indicated by the instructor, and to ask the instructor if something is not clearly explained or questioned. Be aware, however, that it may not be possible to answer such questions because to do so would betray the answer.
All exams must be returned by the designated end time for that examination; failure to turn in the exam by that time will result in a zero for the examination. If a student is late for a scheduled exam, the student will be permitted to take that examination provided that no student has already completed the test and left the room; in addition, the student must complete the exam and turn it in by the designated end time for that examination.
During an examination, the student may not listen to any playback device, digital or analog, including, but not limited to, tape recorders, CD players, camcorders, &c. The use of calculators requires permission of the instructor.
Challenges. Any challenge to a question on an exam or to a grade earned on an exam must be submitted in writing by the class following the posting or review of the answers or grades for that exam.
Missed exams. No makeup examination will be given except for one missed due to extraordinary circumstances. In those cases of genuine emergency, prior notice or subsequent documentation must be provided in order for a makeup to be allowed. Failure to do so will result in a grade of zero being posted for that exam. Vide supra for information on how to contact me.
Athletics. Academics has priority over sports. If there is a conflict between sports travel and course work that must be completed, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that arrangements have been made with the instructor to clear any missing assignments or examinations prior to the final exam in the course.
Extra credit projects. No. Why not?
Classroom behavior.
Attendance. While attendance is not taken on a weekly basis in a large lecture course such an Anatomy & Physiology, and there is no attendance component in the determination of the grade, failure of the student to attend lecture on a regular basis could adversely affect a student's performance on the tests, not to mention that the student has not been able to benefit from the presentation of the material.
Deportment. Proper class deportment is expected. Questions that seek to clarify or expand the lecture material are always welcome. Disruptive classroom behavior will not be tolerated, and frivolous questions that are totally off-topic, persistent argumentative questions, or questions that only serve as self-aggrandizement fall within the purview of such behavior. Students engaged in such unsociable activity will be asked to leave. If the offender or offenders cannot be identified, then the lecture will be terminated, but the class will be responsible for whatever material would have been covered. Impolite behavior, such as wearing a baseball cap indoors, is merely gauche, not disruptive, and so, cannot be barred.
Portable communication devices. The use of beepers or cellular phones during class can be quite disruptive to the lecture environment. Therefore, all beepers and cellular phones must be turned off (or placed in vibrate mode) prior to entering the lecture room. Exceptions to this policy must be cleared with the instructor. Students who engage in text-messaging during class are not only being rude to the instructor and their fellow students, but are also depriving themselves of the class content. Violation of this directive will be considered equivalent to disruptive classroom behavior.
Many circumstances may require a modification of the course content or schedule of events (such as a school closure on a scheduled examination date); the instructor reserves the right to make such modifications with appropriate notification. If such a change is necessary, a notice will be posted via Blackboard™ to call the student's attention to it.
Your overall course averages will be determined by the following:
The assignment of letter grades to one's overall course average will be determined by the following rule:
Grades on a particular examination should always be viewed in a comparative light, and if a letter grade has been attached to the exam, that letter grade indicates the position of the earned score on that exam within the ABCDF–grading system.
For further information on the CPS policy on grading, please see the Student Handbook, pages 30–31.
Academic Assistance.
The College of Professional Studies has academic and student support services; questions not answered by the web page can addressed by communicating with an Academic & Student Support Specialist at 617.373.2400, or toll free 877.668.7727, or email@example.com. If you have special needs because of learning disabilities or other kinds of disabilities, please feel free to discuss these with me so that the proper accommodations can be arranged, or contact the Disability Resource Center. For more details on the services Northeastern University offers you, please see the CPS resources and services web page.
|Conformity with the Code of Student Conduct and sanction information can be found on the CPS general regulations web page.
Academic honesty.
The student is encouraged to study with other students, to share notes and ideas. All examinations, laboratory exercises, and other assignments, must be completed by the student alone. Examinations and quizzes administered in this class during previous quarters are not available for review by the student, and any student who reviews such will be considered to have violated the policies on academic honesty. Neither this nor any other form of academic dishonesty will be tolerated. In the frame below is Northeastern's Academic Honesty and Integrity Policy:

power my arduino from the car battery?
Will it be too many amps?
Will my arduino use the whole amp from the battery
My arduino will be controlling 3 TIP120 transistors.. 1 for each color. The amps o the LED bars ten selfs will be under 1Amp for sure..
Oh, also do i use the place with the circular jack and solder the wires from the battery to the jack connector for my power? Or do I put the car battery wires in Vnn? I'm always confused what Vnn is..
One more clarification, so with the 1/2A Fuse, I just connect the 12V from the battery to either the power jack or vin?

Proof by assertion: Sometimes informally referred to as proof by repeated assertion, is a logical fallacy in which a proposition is repeatedly restated regardless of contradiction. Sometimes this may be repeated until challenges dry up, at which point it is asserted as fact due to its not being contradicted (argumentum ad nauseam).

Honors & Awards
» Two-Time Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll
» Academic All-Big Ten (2014)
Receiver Kevin Gladney got his first taste of playing time for Nebraska last season, primarily seeing action on special teams. He also added depth in the NU receiving corps and will look to push for playing time at wideout in 2015. Gladney was one of 21 Huskers who earned academic All-Big Ten honors in 2014.
2014 (Redshirt Freshman)
Gladney played in seven games, including the first six games of the year and the regular-season finale at Iowa. He worked on coverage units and also saw limited work at receiver. Gladney did not have a reception or a tackle.
2013 (Redshirt)
Gladney redshirted in his first season in 2013.
Before Nebraska (Firestone Senior)
Gladney was one of three signees from Ohio in the Huskers' 2013 class. Gladney posted big receiving numbers for Coach Tim Flossie at Firestone High in Akron, Ohio. Gladney had 32 receptions for 536 yards and seven touchdowns as a senior. He also accounted for 110 yards on three kickoff returns. Gladney's play helped Firestone to a 5-5 record in the Ohio Division II ranks. For his play, Gladney was a second-team Division II All-Ohio choice.
Gladney posted even bigger numbers as a junior for Firestone, when he grabbed 48 receptions for 768 yards and 12 touchdowns to earn all-city honors in Akron. Gladney first made a strong impression as a sophomore when he saw extensive action for Firestone. Gladney was also a standout on the basketball court. As a junior, he averaged 19 points per game to help his team to a 15-7 record and earn all-city honors. As a senior, he led Firestone to a 13-10 record. Gladney only visited Nebraska, but did have offers from Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, Vanderbilt and Cincinnati to name a few. Gladney was generally regarded as one of the top 50 players in the state of Ohio and as one of the top 60 receiver prospects in the nation.
Gladney is the son of Dorryea Gladney and Kevin Barnett, and he was born on Feb. 13, 1995. He has not declared a major. Gladney has volunteered his time with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Uplifting Athletes, Husker Heroes and Husker Hotline.

September 1, 2013
The SEC's proposed rules will defeat their goals in letting startups raise money publicly. Startups may be forbidden from raising money at all if they accidentally break the ruleseffectively putting the startup out of business. Or startups will decide that these rules are so difficult to follow that they will raise money privately lowering their chances of raising money and moving their conversations to forums that can't be tracked by the SEC.
Either outcome defeats the purpose of letting startups raise money publicly. And it will have the unintended consequence of putting large numbers of otherwise promising startups (and most of the job growth in the U.S.) out of business.
I think the words of Angel List say it all. Please re-think this. I have had a very difficult time raising money to date and have been waiting for the change to take full advantage of the new SEC rules so that we can get our company off the ground. That will mean 5 new jobs this year and hopefully 20 new jobs by 2015.
The proposal appears to be targeted to the way startups raised money 20 years ago: with long prospectuses designed by bankers who were facilitating the deal. Today, startups raise money without bankers, through informal conversations with investors, and they're always in fundraising mode. It is unfeasible to notify the SEC in advance, file documents every time there is a new communication with investors and include boilerplate with every communication. Worse, since everything is public, startups will see other startups break the rules and assume there are no rules. The stated purpose of these rules is to help the SEC track investment activity so they can adjust general solicitation regulations over time. There are ways to do this without putting good startups out of business or moving investment activity underground. First, allow third parties like AngelList to do the filing on the startup's behalf, with a simple URL that is delivered to the SEC via API. Second, only require boilerplate when startups are communicating financing terms. Finally, remove the 1-year ban for noncomplianceit is incommensurate with any harm.

Our daughter has never been much inclined toward sleep. A standard stretch usually won't exceed four hours, and more frequent waking (like every hour) is far from unheard of in our house. As a result, my husband and I have yet to get a solid night's sleep in the last 18 months.
We have marveled at the discovery that our bodies (and our minds – though arguably to a lesser extent) can continue to function on just a few nonconsecutive hours of rest a night, but that doesn't make it any less painful. And yet, each night, when she cries, we wake to soothe her back to sleep beside us.
Mainstream American parenting culture tells us that she should be sleeping through the night by now. A common approach to accomplishing this is the Ferber/extinction method, otherwise known as "cry-it-out." Have we considered it? Of course. Believe me, we've considered everything. But ultimately, crying it out just isn't compatible with the principles of attachment parenting we believe in.
Attachment parenting is no newfangled trend. Though the term originated with pediatrician Dr. Bill Sears, the theory behind it was advanced by developmental psychologist John Bowlby in the 1960s. According to attachment theory, a strong bond between babies and parents is crucial for the child's social, emotional, and even physical development. That bond is simply not reinforced by refusing to respond to the baby's cry.
There is scientific evidence to support the proposition that leaving a baby to cry alone can cause physiological, if not psychological and emotional harm. Studies have shown that periods of crying and upset are accompanied by a flood of the stress hormone cortisol; frequent and prolonged exposure to cortisol can affect brain development in areas relating to memory, emotional regulation and attention, and behavior. The presence of a loving parent has been demonstrated to lower levels of cortisol even during episodes of crying.
Although such information is always of interest to us, on this issue we find ourselves guided less by science and more by instinct, and even a little common sense. Proponents of cry-it-out suggest that this method teaches the baby to "self-soothe." I find it hard to believe that a baby left to cry it out has actually soothed herself to sleep rather than falling asleep after exhausting herself crying. It's true that babies subjected to the cry-it-out technique may eventually cry less at night, but who's to say that is a reflection of self-soothing skills rather than the result of basic behavioral conditioning?
Cry-it-out is, after all, operant conditioning, a method designed to extinguish a specific behavior. The baby, having learned that her attempt at communicating her need for comfort by crying does not elicit any response, will eventually cease in her efforts. Thus the crying stops – and behaviorists declare the process a success. But while she may not cry any more at night, it's likely not because the reason she was crying has been resolved – why the baby was crying has no place in a behavioral analysis and therefore was never addressed.
All babies, in fact all people, wake frequently at night. If (hopefully when) our baby is able to wake at night and soothe herself back to sleep, we'd like for it to be because she is ready to do so, not because we've left her with no alternative. Some would counter that in being responsive to her nighttime needs, we're spoiling her, and that she'll grow up demanding and dependent. But as acknowledged by Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry researchers Commons and Miller, physical contact and reassurance at this young age fosters the kind of secure attachment which will provide our daughter a foundation from which to establish her independence.
We think that's worth a few more sleepless nights.

This book is amazing because it talks about my favorite sport and history including how African?Americans made changes. This reminds me of my life because I want to be a basketball player and I am following the footsteps of basketball players.
My favorite part of the story was ?The Air of Greatness? because it?s about my favorite basketball player, Michael Jordan and how he started playing.
I think people should read this book because if you are a basketball player you will want to know about basketball history. The illustrations were good because it really made basketball history look good and when people read it they will enjoy every bit of it.
The book I read was like no other because it was fun to read and now I know more about history and I know more about basketball players and who were the first black basket ball players. I recommend this book because it?s fun reading and you will enjoy learning how blacks made changes in the NBA and in the world. If you want to be a basketball player you can follow in their footsteps.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) Billionaire Ron Burkle has taken his interest in the Sacramento Kings all the way to the top.
Burkle met with NBA Commissioner David Stern for two hours at the league's New York headquarters Thursday, NBA spokesman Tim Frank confirmed Friday. No other details of the meeting were given.
USA Today first reported the meeting Friday.
A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press earlier this week that Burkle, a Southern California-based businessman and co-owner of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, was in ``serious talks'' with 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov to collaborate on a counteroffer for the Kings. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the discussions.
The Maloof family already has a signed agreement to sell the Kings to a group that includes hedge-fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, who intend to move the franchise to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The NBA Board of Governors must approve any sale.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson is doing his best to block the move.
Johnson, a former NBA All-Star, will get a chance to present a bid to NBA owners that will keep the team in California's capital city - with a plan to help finance a new downtown arena. Earlier this week, the mayor introduced 20 investors who have pledged at least $1 million each to be minority investors in the team. Johnson said he hopes to secure the heavy-hitters who will anchor the plan and produce a ``fair and competitive offer'' by next week.
Burkle expressed interests in buying the Kings two years ago, when Johnson convinced league owners to give his city another shot at financing a new arena when the franchise was exploring a move to Anaheim. Mastrov was among the final bidders for the Golden State Warriors before Joe Lacob and Peter Guber bought the team for an NBA-record $450 million in 2010.
The Maloof family has a pending purchase agreement that will give the Hansen-Ballmer group a 65 percent controlling interests in the franchise, which has a total valuation of $525 million, and move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name, another person familiar with the decision said earlier this week. That means the group will pay a little more than $340 million.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal is waiting to be approved. Hansen's group also is hoping to buy out other minority investors.
The main stipulation Johnson is counting on is that the Maloofs are still allowed to receive other offers until the league approves the sale, which the mayor expects to take until at least April, when owners meet in New York. The deadline for teams to file for relocation for next season is March 1, though that has been extended the last two years for the Kings.
NBA owners also can approve the sale at any time once the vetting process is complete.

Durham, N.C. — Dermatologists at Duke University using rituximab (Rituxan, Genentech) for the management of patients with treatment-resistant bullous pemphigoid (BP) have found that this anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody allows corticosteroid-dependent patients to successfully taper their immunosuppressive therapy.
They are hopeful their research may lead to a new understanding of disease pathogenesis and better approaches to its treatment.
Russell P. Hall III, M.D., and colleagues have reported on a series of six patients with BP who could not be tapered off a relatively high dose of prednisone (mean ~30 mg/day). Two infusions of rituximab 1 gm were administered at an interval of two weeks. After about 100 days, all patients were able to decrease their prednisone dose to about 10 mg, and during continued follow-up, some patients were able to discontinue prednisone completely, while others could be maintained at a dose as low as 5 mg/day.
Serology studies
Serology studies showed IgG anti-BP180 titers decreased gradually in all patients, falling significantly below the baseline level after nine months, but never disappearing. Thereafter, IgG anti-BP180 antibody levels slowly increased, although the rise occurred without any worsening of disease activity, reports Dr. Hall, J. Lamar Callaway Professor of Dermatology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C.
"These observations suggest to us there may be pathogenic and nonpathogenic populations of anti-BP180 antibodies. Therefore, we are also speculating there may be two populations of antibody-producing plasma B cells, a short-lived subtype that produces disease-causing autoantibodies, and a long-lived subtype that produces antibodies against the same antigen, but yet are not pathogenic," he says.
"We hope that further research will lead us to understand the pathogenesis of BP, because, ultimately, that might enable us to develop therapy targeting the B cells important in disease etiology, while hopefully minimizing any impact on production of antibodies responsible for natural immune function."
When it first became commercially available, rituximab was only approved for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's (B cell) lymphoma. However, there had been reports of its efficacy in treating other autoimmune diseases, and, more recently, evidence indicates that rituximab is very effective in treating other autoimmune blistering diseases, particularly pemphigus, Dr. Hall says.
Serology studies performed to elucidate the mechanism of action of rituximab indicated it did not affect memory plasma cells responsible for antibody production against naturally occurring antigens, as there were no significant changes in total IgG or IgG anti-varicella zoster virus antibody levels. Other investigators using rituximab to treat pemphigus have reported a similar finding, Dr. Hall says.
"This finding suggests production of the autoantibodies and long-lived antibodies are controlled by different mechanisms, and this is encouraging, because it suggests it may be possible to find a treatment able to control the disease without causing general immunosuppression," he says.
While rituximab initially depleted the circulation of B cells, flow cytometry studies performed to type B cell subsets showed that when the B cell population was reconstituted, it comprised a lower proportion of memory B cells (CD38-/IgD-) and an increase in the proportion of naïve/transitional B cells (CD38++/IgD+) relative to before rituximab treatment.
Dr. Hall notes that the observation that rituximab treatment was associated with a change in the B cell population provides evidence that circulating B cells are important in the pathogenesis of BP. Going forward, Dr. Hall and colleagues will be investigating whether features of the B cell response and reconstitution might be prognostic variables.
"Undoubtedly, as we treat more patients, we will find variations in response to rituximab. One hypothesis we will be exploring is whether treatment response and its longevity can be predicted by the nature of the B cell population and the speed of repopulation," he explains.
Disclosure: Genentech funded this research, but Dr. Hall reports no relevant financial interest in the company.

McNeilus brand concrete mixers are used by more concrete producers than any other on the market, and McNeilus is also a leading brand in refuse collection vehicles. McNeilus Companies Inc., Dodge Center, Minn., has been able to maintain its industry leadership by regularly introducing design improvement that give a boost to productivity and fuel efficiency.
Some of these recent innovations incorporate a Power-On-Demand (POD) load-sensing hydraulic system from the Hydraulics Group of Eaton Corp., Eden Prairie, Minn. into McNeilus's ZR Series side-loading refuse collection trucks. The POD technology provides fuel economy by powering up hydraulic pumps and motors strictly to meet system demands. By supplying power only when it is actually needed, a system like Eaton's Power-On-Demand can dramatically reduce the amount of diesel fuel used by a refuse truck. When paired with Eaton's Hydraulic Launch Assist hybrid drive system, the fuel savings can reach 25% to 40% compared to traditionally-equipped trucks based on actual field experience.
The POD systems have demonstrated annual fuel savings of $4,000 to $6,000 per truck based on daily fuel savings of 4 to 7 gal per truck and $3 per gal diesel fuel. In addition to fuel savings and increased productivity, the POD systems may be simpler than the traditional hydraulic systems they replace. They can have fewer connections, longer lasting components, and offer increasingly sophisticated opportunities for integration through electronic sensors and controls.
The system used in the ZR Series includes a tandem Eaton 420 Series piston pump, Vickers CMX electrohydraulic load-sense valve, and Vickers MCD manifolds.
Other technologies contributing to the new design include Eaton's T motors, Integrated Hydraulics' dual over-center valves, Eaton Snap To Connect (STC) connectors, and Aeroquip GH493 hose assemblies.
The improvements called for sizing pumps to match the required cycle time of packer cylinders, preventing excessive heat generation, and reducing leakage from loose adapters and fittings. Results are impressive: a 20% improvement in productivity and up to 15% improvement in fuel savings compared to similar models
A look at the application
Picking up trash in areas with tight alleyways, narrow streets, or overhead interference has long been a challenge for operators of refuse trucks. But these conditions present opportunities for the ZR Series fulleject automated side loader to really show its stuff.
It features a zero-radius side arm that lifts 30-, 60-, or 96-gal containers vertically up the arm and dumps them into the truck without needing the arm to extend outward into alleys or tight urban right of ways.
Another useful ZR Series feature is its full-eject body that opens the tailgate and uses telescoping cylinders to eject the load without a body tip up or gravity dump. Furthermore, the body's low center of gravity makes it more stable during landfill dumping operations.
Meeting many challenges
McNeilus called on us in early 2009 with the need for a complete hydraulic system for the new side loader using CANbus controls for optimum performance. McNeilus's initial thought was to equip the system with traditional fixed-displacement gear pumps, and we responded by specifying hydraulic control valves to complete the system. After evaluating the performance and fuel demands of the prototype hydraulic system on a side-loader during test trials, McNeilus decided to take the road less traveled and equip the truck with a full POD system using piston pumps.
Because the full-eject body is equipped with large telescoping cylinders that run the packing mechanism, the first challenge was to size the pumps to achieve adequate cycle time for the packer cylinders and to fit behind the transmission without interference.
Packer cylinders typically have slow pack extend and retract cycle times due to the high fluid volume required to extend the packing panel during each packing cycle. The trucks are designed for 1,000 to 1,500 lift cycles per day, and the pack panel extends and retracts twice for each lift cycle. Consequently, instances could occur during routes with frequent stops that the packer panel may not stop running. And in some cases, the packer panel might not keep up with the lift circuit, which would increase route time. A large piston pump would provide the flow required. However, its bulky size and cost did not make it an attractive option.
Competitive products equipped on the ZR arm were also causing concerns. A pair of motors on a trolley lift and an over-center valve to control motor movement were wasting energy by generating excessive heat during performance testing. Another problem area was hydraulic fluid leakage due to adapters and fittings that became loose when hoses were extended or twisted during body lift operations.
Full replacements offer system solutions
While considering pump options, we realized that the arm operated quickly during the garbage can dumping cycle and then came to a rest as the packer panel was still extending and retracting to clear the hopper.
This meant that if the arm pump and packer pump could work in tandem while the arm was stationary and the packer was still cycling, the cycle time would improve dramatically. As a result, we selected a tandem 80-cc Eaton 420 Series pump for the application.
Applying the POD load-sensing technology, we designed a custom Vickers MCD manifold with the capability to combine pump flows during packer extend and run independently when the arm must function, resulting in a dramatic reduction in packer cycle time from 17 to 10 sec. Included in the manifold assembly are Eaton's Vickers solenoid valves, proportional valves, flow regulators, check valves, shuttle valves, and differential pressure sensing logic elements.
Controlling the loader arm proportionally and smoothly was another circuit requirement that benefited from the POD load-sensing technology. A three-section Vickers CMX 100 electrohydraulic load-sense valve was chosen to run the arm reach, grabber, and trolley lift functions due to its capability to precisely manage proportional flow. Using the valve resulted in faster cycle time with less fatigue on the truck structure, along with improved fuel savings by using full POD technology.
To overcome the excessive heat caused by the motor trolley circuit, we teamed up with Tony Montabon, Eaton's on-site applications engineer at McNeilus, and partnered with McNeilus engineers to evaluate the arm performance and chose Eaton 8.0 in.3 T motors and Integrated Hydraulics' dual over-center valves as replacement components. Also specified were Aeroquip GH493 half-bend radius, high-pressure hose assemblies that withstand the tight bend radii required as they move in and out during arm reach. The tightbend radii allowed McNeilus to use larger diameter hose assemblies, resulting in a dramatic reduction in wasted heat, thereby improving the efficiency of the circuit.
The STC threadless adapters were specified in locations in which hoses move while the body lift mechanism is activated. This selection was based on their swivel capability when not under pressure and that they use a snap ring to connect the male with the female, which seals on an O-ring to result in a leak-free connection. This is McNeilus's first application for STC connectors. They are providing leakfree performance and are easy for assembly line crews to install.
Changes see quick results
The McNeilus ZR Series went into production in May 2010 and is already proving to be the fastest side loader in the industry.
Packer cycle time is typically a factor in how fast an operator can finish a route. On highly dense routes where houses are close together, operators of conventional side loaders often had to wait for the hopper to clear the loading chamber before loading another garbage can. To date, operators have not had to wait for the ZR packer to clear. They just go from can to can without slowing down.
During two test trials, the ZR side-loader finished identical routes in about two hours less than other McNeilus side-loaders. The 20% improvement in productivity is a direct result of the fast arm and packer cycle times achieved by the POD system. Based on previous test results of similar trucks equipped with POD systems, the ZR side-loader also has the potential to save up to 15% on fuel consumption compared to a conventional fixed-displacement gear pump system.

Classic Exodus commentary still relevant

Nyack College, New York, United States of America
R. Alan Cole, Exodus: An introduction and commentary (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries)

Review Title: Classic Exodus commentary still relevant
R. Alan Cole published Exodus: An introduction and commentary in 1973. This commentary has remained in print for four decades, partly due to its place in the series Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries. Consistent with the other volumes in the series, it has a significant introduction (41 pages)1 and, although it is a small book, there is commentary of at least a sentence or paragraph on most verses, and important verses are given up to a page of commentary.
Cole's introduction has a helpful priority of theology over historical matters. He devotes 22 pages to the theology of the Exodus under the headings 'The God Who Controls History', 'I Am YHWH', 'The God Who Is Holy', 'The God Who Remembers', 'The God Who Acts in Salvation', 'The God Who Acts in Judgment', 'The God Whose Anger May Be Averted', 'The God Who Speaks', 'The God Who Is Transcendent', and 'The God Who Lives among His People'. Cole seems to neglect the important category of the God who sees and hears (although choices of priority inevitably must be made in an introduction like this; Ex 3:7). Cole also leaves 'creation' out of his list of five major themes in the Pentateuch (p. 12 [p. 15]). Nevertheless, Cole does a good job of summarising the theology of a book which presents the problem of disclosing the character of Yahweh to Moses, the people of Israel, and Pharaoh.
Cole's section on the holiness of God is particularly helpful. He shows the relational and moral nature of holiness and in memorable wording describes the law as the verbal expression of God's holiness, the tabernacle as the visible parable of it, and the people of Israel as the walking illustration of it (p. 23 [p. 27]). Cole is at pains to show a connection between the exodus and Christian redemption, but he also defines salvation in Old Testament terms of military and political realities, including the exodus 'as the supreme example' (pp. 17-18, 27-29 [pp. 20-21, 31-34]).
At one point, Cole's theological interpretation seems unlikely to resonate with the general outlook of the Old Testament. He claims that 'if God still "remembers" the patriarchs, then they must still exist' (pp. 26-27 [p. 30]). Elsewhere the Old Testament does little to suggest a meaningful relationship with God from Sheol or after death (Ps 6:5 [MT 6:6]).
Although Cole gives priority to theological matters, he also devotes three excurses to the date of the exodus, the site of the 'Red Sea', and the sources of Exodus. Naturally, Cole's archaeological evidence is dated, but he nevertheless gives a balanced account of historical matters, admitting uncertainty when there is a lack of data. He writes:
It is not essential that we know the numbers, or route, or date of the exodus. It is enough that, with later Israel, we know and believe that such an event happened, and that we too interpret it as a saving act of God. (p. 16 [pp. 18-19])
Cole claims that the 'essential historicity of Moses and of his work (at least in broad outline) would now be widely accepted' in biblical scholarship (p. 15 [p. 18]). This viewpoint can no longer be sustained and attitudes to historicity were beginning to change in the 1970s (see Nicholson 1986; Perlitt 1969; Thompson 1974; Van Seters 1975).
In the commentary, Cole gives helpful explanations of most verses and includes insights from Hebrew, offering a literal rendering where appropriate (e.g. birthstool is literally two stones, Ex 1:16, p. 55 [p. 61]). He offers a helpful integrated view of theological and scientific explanations, which others may see as contradictory. For example, Exodus 14 attributes the parting of the Red Sea to the action of God and the natural phenomenon of wind (Ex 14 does not mention tide). Cole suggests that these 'are not mutually exclusive explanations, nor even equally valid alternative explanations. To the Hebrew they are essentially the same explanation, phrased differently' (p. 77 [p. 84]).
The Tyndale format does not have a section for application, but Cole does make some attempt to apply the theology of Exodus to contemporary Christian life. For example, on page 235 [pp. 244-245] he uses the phrases 'Here again is a message for us today' and 'God deliver any of us from such a frustration'.
Overall, Cole's commentary is a useful shorter introduction to the text of Exodus. There is little documentation and Cole points the reader to other works (usually Hyatt 1971) when further information may be desired. He is conversant with a broad spectrum of scholarship and engages different ideas, but does not usually go into great detail. He also mentions Hebrew nuances and sometimes includes the Hebrew word under discussion (transliterated). These features make the book accessible to non-specialists who would be distracted by too much technical detail and documentation.
Some editing errors were corrected for the 2008 printing, but a couple remain: 'Siniai' (for 'Sinai', p. 25 [p. 29]); 'peal' (for 'deal', p.183 [p. 191]).

It's appropriations season! – that wonderful time of year when the House and Senate pass competing versions of legislation to fund government agencies, bureaus, and…whatever pork and pet projects they can squeeze in.
Congress has made most of its spending decisions over the past few years through last-minute continuing resolutions or consolidated appropriations bills. That makes it harder to follow the money (which may be part of the reason they've been doing it that way), but it's important to watch the dollars because some of that money is going toward national ID systems and biometrics.
Last week the House passed their FY 2014 Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill. As in years past, the legislation contains funding for three of everyone's favorite identification programs: REAL ID, E-Verify, and US-VISIT/the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM), a DHS office covering biometrics for travelers at airports, ports, and other points of entry.
For the coming fiscal year, the House appropriated $114 million for E-Verify, $232 million for OBIM, and $1.2 billion for the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP), from which grants for REAL ID implementation get doled out to states.
These numbers are consistent with past levels of appropriations for these programs, with the exception of REAL ID, which had its own funding stream until it was folded into SHSGP in fiscal 2012.

Add this to the "don't believe everything you read" file.
While the National Enquirer is reporting that Tim McGraw has a secret "son" he's been hiding from his wife, Faith Hill, McGraw's rep says the story just isn't true.
"The National Enquirer story is full of inaccuracies and misrepresentations about Tim and Faith," rep Mary Hilliard Harrington told People. "We aren't going to comment on false statements that appear to have been sensationalized for the purpose of selling tabloid magazines."
Tim McGraw opens up about being sober
According to the report, 23-year-old Tyler Zarbo told the tabloid that when McGraw was engaged to his mom, Kristine Donahue, McGraw helped raise him even though he wasn't his biological son. The Enquirer quoted Zarbo as saying McGraw "was like a father to me," adding that the two maintained a relationship even after McGraw and Donahue split up.
McGraw eventually went on to marry Hill in 1996. They have three daughters together.

Articles that caught our eye this week:
- CBS affiliates see Twitter accounts hijacked; password security in focus << The accounts of 60 Minutes, 48 Hours, and a Denver news affiliate were hacked and suspended last weekend. The article highlights the need for a password manager to create unique, strong passwords, and the renewed discussion on two-factor authentication for Twitter accounts. We agree that laziness and friction are two of the biggest obstacles to changing online security behaviors, but increased education and awareness in the media will help significantly.
- UK adults taking online password security risks << Although not a surprise, UK communications watchdog Ofcom published a study that showed 55% of adults admit they use the same password for most if not all of their online accounts, and 25% report they have trouble remembering passwords. However, there are positive trends of increased awareness of security features and products- which we believe will continue to improve, given the increasing number of online accounts the average internet user has, as well as the visibility of hacks and security issues in the mainstream media.
- Twitter Two-Factor Authentication is Obvious - and Necessary << A great op-ed from Lance Ulanoff at Mashable that argues for better protection of Twitter accounts through password management and the use of two-factor authentication. With hacks of accounts like AP that have shown how damaging the repercussions can be, we agree with his points. Given the positive improvements we've already seen from Twitter, we hope they continue to set a precedent in their approach to security.
Enjoy the weekend,

Glendale is set to become the next major city in Los Angeles County to ban plastic bags at grocery stores after City Council members on Tuesday were unanimous in their support of the new law.
"It's a no-brainer," said Councilman Dave Weaver. "It's inevitable. It's got to happen. We're just going to join in the crowd."
Glendale will be following in the footsteps of cities that have enacted similar rules, including Los Angeles, Pasadena and Laguna Beach.
But Councilwoman Laura Friedman said the city shouldn't stop at grocery stores, suggesting that the ban be extended to other retailers in the future.
"Grocers are a great step. Why not some of the other stores? Why not hardware stores?" Friedman said.
Despite the positive response from those on the dais, the ordinance must come back next week for final approval.
Glendale's proposed ordinance is modeled off a countywide ban that took effect in 2011, but the city's ban would also include farmers markets and all city-sponsored events, as well as any event held on city property.
Once given final approval, the ban will affect 164 stores within city limits in two phases. In six months it would affect large grocery stores that make at least $2 million in gross annual sales, retailers with at least 10,000 square feet that include a pharmacy, and farmers markets.
Smaller grocers, liquor stores and city events would have 12 months to comply.
Citations would be issued based on complaints filed by the public. After a first-time written notice, violators would be subject to a $100 fine, a $200 fine after the second offense in one year and $500 for each additional violation within one year, according to the proposed ordinance.
Public Works Director Steve Zurn said that since the county ban took effect in July 2011, there have been few infractions.
Mayor Frank Quintero said in an interview Monday that he thought it would be "a small measure that will lead to great results."
The proposed ordinance would also add a 10-cent charge on paper bags. Retailers could use that money to recoup costs and educate customers about reusable bags, Zurn said.
Some council members at first wanted to nix the 10-cent charge, but backed down when store representatives supported the fee.
Sarah Sheehy, spokeswoman for the California Grocer's Assn., said without the charge, retailers would be eating the costs of paper bags.
"It's a hugely important part of the ordinance," she said.
Several large retailers, such as Ralphs and Albertsons, have supported the ban in the past, preferring a similar statewide law rather a city-by-city patchwork.
Mark Sheridan, manager of the popular Montrose Farmers Market, also supports the change.
"It's a challenge, but one that's necessary for the community," he said, adding that the market may take a cue from Trader Joe's and other retailers by developing its own reusable bag.
Despite the proliferation of plastic-bag bans across the Southland, Donna Dempsey, a spokeswoman for the American Progressive Bag Alliance, said the laws are misguided since reusable and paper bags have their own set of environmental issues.
"It's very shortsighted," she said Monday.
Customers who participate in state-funded supplemental food programs would be exempt from the 10-cent charge on paper bags.
