Over the past several years, there has been an increasing appreciation of the burden of pulmonary disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in both the general population1-3 and in patients receiving immunosuppressive drugs. Soon after the first tumor necrosis factor-α antagonist was introduced into clinical use, the increased risk of mycobacterial infections, TB especially, in patients receiving these agents was recognized.4 Physicians are by now well sensitized to the importance of screening patients with various rheumatic and other systemic inflammatory conditions for TB prior to initiation of treatment with tumor necrosis factor-α blockers. Nearly every practicing pulmonologist by now is aware of the challenges of treating patients with Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium xenopi, Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium fortuitum, and others. It is well appreciated, through both large epidemiologic studies and individual experience, that in economically developed countries that generally have low incidence rates of TB, the burden of NTM infections far outstrips that of TB. Much less well understood, however, are the particular risk factors for developing infections with NTM, the natural history of these infections, and the best approaches to treatment. In this issue of CHEST (see page 563), Brode and colleagues5 make an important contribution to our understanding of the epidemiology of NTM infections and they point the way to important avenues of future research.

Chinese computer maker Lenovo's hopes of taking over ailing Canadian smartphone maker BlackBerry could face big regulatory hurdles, analysts warned today.
Lenovo has emerged as a bidder after it signed a non-disclosure deal to examine BlackBerry's books.
However, the Canadian government could block the deal if it feels it would not bring a "net benefit" to the country or if it believes there were a threat to national security.
Last week, Canada blocked an Egyptian telecoms entrepreneur's bid to acquire the Allstream fibre-optic network.
One source told Reuters that Lenovo might be more likely to try to buy parts of BlackBerry, which owns valuable patents and has a big enterprise division.
Cisco, Google and Germany's SAP have been lined up with a possible move for the Canadian firm. Co-founder Mike Lazaridis has also expressed interest.
Private-equity firm Fairfax made a tentative approach at $9 a share last month but many analysts are unconvinced that it will lead to a formal takeover bid.
The shares stand at $8.20 at present, a far cry from the near-$150 peak reached in 2008 when BlackBerry was the darling of the mobiles sector.
The company has put itself up for sale as revenues have plunged and it made a quarterly loss of almost $1 billion (£623 million) in August.
The BB10 range of phones and a new operating system, launched earlier this year, have flopped.
Comment: Lenovo looks like a good match
Given that protectionist Canadians wouldn't allow the London Stock Exchange to acquire their bourse a few years ago, I wonder how news that the Chinese are eyeing the country's fallen technology leader will go down in Ottawa's corridors of power?
The truth is stricken BlackBerry needs a saviour. Microsoft would have been an ideal fit until it threw its lot in with Nokia. Lenovo might not suit local sensibilities, but its expertise make it a better match than the proposed financial buyer. The Chinese company has surprised many since it took over IBM's personal computer business eight years ago.
BlackBerry is declining fast, but there is still more to it than the collection of patents that outmoded camera firm Kodak was reduced to. Lenovo would also gain BlackBerry fiend President Obama as a customer — assuming he still opted to use its gadgets to bash out his emails.Reuse content

Euthanasia and the Right to Die: Nancy Cruzan and New Mexico
Schwartz, Robert
This is the first right-to-die case to be heard by the United States Supreme Court; many believe it will be the only right-to-die case the Supreme Court will ever hear. The United States Supreme Court will address one issue: whether the United States Constitution includes a right that extends to permitting incompetent patients to terminate nutrition and hydration. That is the whole of the question. On one side is the Cruzan family. On the other side is Attorney General Webster, whose name appears in Webster v. Reproductive Services of Missouri, the abortion case last term. The right-to-die organizations and virtually all of the medical organizations in the country, as well as most civil rights organizations, have filed briefs supporting the Cruzan family in their attempts to have the tube removed. The right-to-life organizations and organizations dedicated to protecting disabled people have filed briefs on the other side, supporting the state in its effort to block removal of the tube. Church related groups have filed briefs on both sides of the issue.

- Product Description
- Product Reviews
Intel RealSense Technology
- The Intel RealSense R200 Camera and the Intel Atom processor module work seamlessly with the flight control firmware to add intelligent obstacle navigation
- With a combination of specialized cameras and sensors, this system maps and learns its environment in 3D, recognizing each obstacle, planning an alternative route, and navigating around it
- The module adds downward facing sensors to improve stability, enabling indoor flight as well as outdoor flight when close to the ground, even with poor GPS reception
- Remembers previously avoided objects for future reference
- Intel Atom-powered sensor module
- Dedicated RealSense R200 camera
Flight Control System
- No Fly Zones
- The No Fly Zone preset locks the Typhoon H's flight ceiling at 400' above ground level at the takeoff point. This feature helps ensure compliance with FAA sUAS operational guidelines. In addition, Geo-Fencing can be enabled to further restrict possible flight patterns, locking the hexacopter within a user-defined radius of the pilot
- Dynamic Return to Home
- Simply switch to Home Mode and Typhoon H will return and land within 26' of you
- Point-of-Interest (POI)
- Locks the hexacopter in a circular orbit pattern around the takeoff point. This mode is especially useful for creating a circular "tracking" shot with a bird's eye view. In this mode the camera can still be moved independently
- Orbit Me
- The Typhoon H flies a circular path around you, keeping the camera trained on you the whole time. This is similar to Point-of-Interest, except locking onto the pilot rather than an arbitrary object
- Journey
- The Typhoon H will fly up and out, as far as 150', and capture the perfect aerial selfie
- Curve Cable Cam
- Program an invisible route for Typhoon H to fly along. Typhoon H will fly between pre-set coordinates while independently controlling camera position
- Watch Me / Follow Me
- Watch Me ensures Typhoon H will stay in one place and always point the camera at you wherever you go. Follow Me tells Typhoon H to keep the camera pointed at you as it moves along with you
ST16 Personal Ground Station
- Transmitter (handheld radio controller) and ground station system are combined into one device with the included 16-channel ST16. It features a 2.4 GHz transmitter for joystick operation of the quadcopter. In addition, there is a 5.8 GHz-range receiver for the video feed from the camera plus telemetry data. For ground station functions, it features a built-in Android device with 7" touchscreen
- 7" Built-In FPV Display
- View a live feed on the ST16's 7", 720p resolution display. In addition, it can show telemetry data from the flight controller, such as altitude, GPS coordinates, and remaining battery life. Settings can be accessed via its touchscreen interface
- Waypoint Navigation
- Ground station functionality provided by the ST16 includes waypoint navigation. With this autopilot mode, apply pushpins to a map to create "waypoints" that define the Typhoon H's course. Altitude, speed, and heading can all change at each waypoint
CGO3+ 4K Camera with 3-Axis Gimbal
- The included CGO3+ combines a 12-megapixel, 4K camera and a 3-axis brushless gimbal into a single unit designed to capture stabilized aerial video and still images. For live view and remote operation, the camera features an integrated 5.8 GHz video downlink that enables operation and viewing from the 7" touchscreen on the ST16 Personal Ground Station. You can also pair with a mobile device using the free mobile app – available at Google Play and iTunes app stores
- Wizard Wand for Two-Operator Control
- The included Wizard Wand is a TV remote-style controller that can be used alongside the ST16. This means better videos and photos with one operator piloting the drone and one operating the camera
Airframe Design
- One Motor Failure Survivability
- A benefit of six rotors is that one can fail without stalling the aircraft. When the flight controller detects a motor failure, it adjusts its parameters to compensate. Maneuverability and performance will be greatly reduced; however, it gives you the chance to safely land the aircraft
- Retractable Landing Gear
- The landing gear retracts during flight to provide the camera an unobstructed 360° of shooting
- Collapsible Design
- The Typhoon H features quick-disconnect propellers for speedy breakdown. Additionally, each rotor arm folds down to a resting position against the drone for a more compact profile that is easier to transport
- Carbon Fiber Parts
- Carbon fiber components are used extensively to decrease weight and increase durability

Ahmedabad: Lou Vincent and Craig McMillan struck fine half-centuries to take New Zealand to 195 for six at tea as India's quest for a victory in the first cricket Test continued on the final day in Ahmedabad on Sunday. With just one session of play and 27 overs remaining, the Test is still open and a result difficult to predict, though the Indians continued to dominate by taking a couple of wickets in the post-lunch session.
The Kiwis need another 175 runs for victory with four wickets in hand -- a very tough task considering the Indians have not allowed partnerships to build by taking wickets at regular intervals. The Indian bowlers, especially the spin duo of Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh, have also been quite economical so far. While Kumble has proved to be more successful of the two having conceded 66 runs in 29 overs while taking four wickets, Harbhajan has also done a commendable job with figures of 33-0-59-2.
But the duo have now run into an in-form Craig McMillan, batting on 56 at tea and first innings centurion Nathan Astle (16 not out) who came to bat down in the order due to an upset stomach. The two batsmen have so far added 26 runs for the seventh wicket and looked at ease against an attack which was getting frustrated not being able to finish off the match.
Earlier, Vincent looked in good touch en route to his 67 (184 b, 9X4) but he succumbed to a poor shot and played on a Kumble delivery to his stumps to become the first wicket to fall in the post-lunch session before Jacob Oram (7).

Mitchells & Butlers Christmas sales top hopes
Restaurants and pubs group Mitchells & Butlers
The company, whose chains include Harvester, Toby Carvery and All Bar One, said it was confident of further growth in the year ahead.
M&B said Thursday sales at restaurants and pubs open more than a year grew by 4.4 percent in the 17 weeks to January 21.
Market expectations had ranged between growth of 2 percent and 3.5 percent, with the average forecast standing at 2.6 percent, according to a Reuters poll of five analysts.
The firm said like-for-like sales were up 6.5 percent in the nine weeks to January 21.
M&B, which has around 1,600 restaurants and pubs across Britain, said trading in January had been more subdued but consistent with the underlying like-for-like sales trend first noted in July last year of around 1 percent growth.
The group was the subject of two rejected bid approaches from its biggest shareholder, billionaire currency trader Joe Lewis, last year. Lewis, who holds a stake of over 25 percent, aborted a 230 pence per share offer, valuing the business at around 940 million pounds in October.
Under takeover rules, he is prohibited from making another approach until April this year.
M&B has been the subject of boardroom upheaval, having gone through six chairmen over the past two years and has been without a permanent chief executive since Adam Fowle departed last March.
Industry veteran Bob Ivell, a former managing director of Scottish & Newcastle's managed pubs division, is currently acting as executive chairman and leading the search for a new
The firm, whose annual shareholder meeting takes place later Thursday in Birmingham, said good progress was being made to appoint a new CEO and to strengthen the board with additional non-executive directors.
However, the Association of British Insurers (ABI), which represents about 20 percent of M&B's shareholders, has issued a 'red top' alert on the company, its strongest possible warning about governance concerns, singling it out as the only FTSE-350 firm which currently has no independent non-executive directors.
British corporate governance watchdog PIRC, which advises institutional investors, has called on its members to vote against the re-election of non-executives Doug Evans and Douglas McMahon, representatives of Lewis, who also owns Premier League soccer club Tottenham Hotspur.
Shares in M&B closed Wednesday at 258.6 pence, valuing the business at 1.06 billion pounds.

Mark Duggan's mother today attacked Scotland Yard for the "disgraceful" way it treated her family after police shot her son dead.
Pamela Duggan, 53, said the Met's response to her son's death last August - which led to riots that spread from Tottenham across Britain - had made her family's pain and distress much worse.
An interim report into the riots by Met Assistant Commissioner Lynne Owens said that police made "comprehensive and strenuous" efforts to talk to local people and calm tensions after Mr Duggan, 29, was shot on August 4.
The report was described as a "whitewash" by local church leader Pastor Nims Obunge.
Mrs Duggan today echoed that view and demanded a public apology from the Met and the Independent Police Complaints Commission. She said: "They did not treat us well at all. I still feel ill about it.
"It was disgraceful. I did not hear about the shooting until Mark's girlfriend Semone (Wilson) came round and put the TV on and we saw it on the news."
Mrs Duggan also told of her anger that there was no senior officer at Tottenham police station on August 6 to talk to protesters who had marched there to seek information over the shooting. She said: "They went to the police station and waited for hours, but did not get any answers. It was an insult."
Within hours the riots had begun.
Mrs Duggan said: "It should have been handled better. A couple of weeks or more after it happened a senior police person came round and said sorry and that I should have been told earlier (about the shooting), but that was it. They should apologise publicly."
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, the Duggans claim, they were so ill-informed that the father-of-four's sister Kay, 38, drove to Central Middlesex Hospital near Ealing, believing he had been taken there alive by air ambulance, only to find it was an injured firearms officer who had been transported.
Many hours later, the family say, they had to contact police themselves to find out what was happening as they had received no firm information.
The IPCC has admitted making a mistake when it initially said Mr Duggan had fired at police, when tests showed he had not.
The family's lawyer has accused the watchdog, which is handling the investigation into the shooting, of "misinformation, a lack of information, and conflicting information".
Mrs Duggan said she is on medication and rarely discusses her son's death publicly or reads news reports about the case as descriptions of him as a "well-known gangster" do not match her memories.
Mr Duggan's late uncle was Desmond Noonan, whose crime family ran Manchester's underworld for 20 years. Mrs Duggan said: "Mark was not the kind of guy that he has been portrayed as - the way they say he was a gangster. He was a father, a kind, loving family man with kids.
"I can't talk to anyone about it. It brings back too many painful memories. He was my son. The riots were nothing to do with Mark - we did not want them and he would never have condoned violence like that."
A spokesman for the Met said a senior police officer had already publicly and privately apologised to the Duggan family for the way they were told of his death.
In a statement, the force said new protocols were being drawn up to prevent similar problems in the future.
A spokesman said: "Commander Mak Chishty met with the family of Mark Duggan on behalf of the MPS and apologised to them directly and via a public statement for the distress caused to them, especially around the way in which his parents became aware of his death.
"A new protocol between the IPCC and the police on communication is being developed with the aim of providing greater clarity in future.
"The MPS will be publishing a final report into the disorder shortly, which will include a detailed account of events."

Adam Sandler sets Razzie record for worst movies
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comic actor Adam Sandler may not be in the running for an Oscar this year, but on Saturday he set a new record for another award -- the most Razzie nominations for the worst films and performances of 2011.
The producer, actor and writer received a leading 11 Razzie nods, including worst actor, actress, screenplay and film, in a contest created as an antidote to the love-fest that engulfs Hollywood during Oscar season.
Sandler's cross-dressing comedy "Jack & Jill" in which he played both the male and female roles, led the pack of poor movies with 12 nods. His romantic comedy "Just Go With It" got 5, and "Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star", for which Sandler wrote the screenplay, notched up 6 nominations.
But Sandler, who ironically was voted People's Choice best movie comedy actor in January, was in excellent company.
Al Pacino, regarded as one of the best living film actors, got a dishonorable mention for his cameo in "Jack & Jill". Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, got a nod for her supporting role in "Just Go With It", and Nicolas Cage was nominated worst actor for his performances in three 2011 movies -- "Trespass", "Season of the Witch" and "Drive Angry 3-D".
And the first installment in the finale of vampire romance "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" -- a favorite Razzie target -- got eight nods, including worst movie and worst acting nods for stars Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart.
The winners will be determined by 600-plus voters of the Golden Raspberry Foundation and announced on April Fool's Day, April 1.
That's a change in tradition that for years saw the Razzies handed out on the eve of the annual Academy Awards, sometimes making for a bizarre weekend. Continued...

|Re: Implementing JSR-170 as EJB Application
|Wed, 29 Jun 2005 23:48:30 GMT
hi Florian Florian Ried wrote: > I'm trying to implement a JSR-170 Content Repository as an EJB > Application. This is a similar approach as described in JackRabbit > Deployment Model 3 (Repository Server with RMI). IMO it's not a similar approach. If I understand you correctly you want to *implement* a jcr compliant repository. The JCR-RMI contribution is not a full implementation, it consists of two parts, a server that wraps an already implemented jcr repository (e.g. Jackrabbit), and a client that lets you access the remote server transparently. > All methods in the (Remote-) interface RepositoryImpl have to throw > RemoteExceptions (see J2EE Spec) but the interface javax.jcr.Repository > doesn't define them. As you noted while compiling the remote interfaces of your EJBs, remote calls throw RemoteExceptions. jcr-rmi tackles this problem with a design that makes intensive use of the adapter pattern. It hides the RemoteExceptions and it makes the remote objects available locally through the jcr API. see http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk/contrib/jcr-rmi/src/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/rmi/client/ClientItem.java?view=markup > Are there any solutions for this problem? If you want to implement a jcr compliant repository from scratch it will be hard work and you'll find many more problems in the path. I guess you should ask the Day team, they already walked that path and did a great job. If all you want is to access a remote jcr repository you might want to try jcr-rmi. > Recompling the javax.jcr.* Interfaces? it doesn't seem a good idea. What's the point of making a jcr compliant impl that's not jcr compliant? ;) > > Why is the scenario of building a JCR-Server on top of a EJB Container > not considered by the specification?

IMHO it's not. > Is it perhaps possible to use jackrabbit within an EJB-Container (with > custom DB-Mapping)? yes, you can use it in an ejb container. No matter the container I guess it shouldn't be so different to the example in the site. Just find out how to declare a jndi resource in your container and you'll be able to access the jcr repo either from your ejbs or from your jsp/servlets. The db topic was discussed quite a few times in the list, you'll find many threads in the archive (http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.jackrabbit.devel).

Hi , can I config mod file so the smoke from rockets stays longer or it can be longer ?
Please fix this mod to work with the total mayhem mod. Please please please! Graphical glitches abound at the moment):
+1 Please
No dirt trails with version 3.5.1?
Well it might work in the Steam version, but it gimps my retail version. Starting a skirmish becomes impossible: I can open up the skirmish lobby but can't add any AI or basically select anything with a drop-down menu. Campaign works fine so far.
Also, necro'd.
Will there com something new, alenhunter? Or did you completely stopped to work on it? That would be a pity!
Should I install Fiery explosions as well? I only put in the Baattlefeel components.
Desert maps are blinding... Overall lookin good though!
Did you make new effects in this two month, alienhunter? ;)
Nop I got like a job, and jobs tend to take a lot of your time. It sucks but I need to eat.

Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing
Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing, Tanzania.
6 Days/5 Nights:
Machame Route:
Day 1: Machame Gate (1,800m) to Machame Camp (3,000m).
Elevation Gain: 1,200 meters Hiking Time: 5 to 6 hours Distance: 10 kilometers .
After an early breakfast proceed to Machame Gate where you will meet the Safari porters, guides, and cooks that will spend the next six days trekking with you to Uhuru Peak, the roof of Africa. The drive through coffee farms and villages to Machame Gate takes just under an hour. The road is paved for most of the way with the last fifteen minutes on a 4WD track. Once you arrive, you'll spend about an hour waiting at the gate while we register your climb and the porters and guides make final preparations. At around 10am, you will begin hiking with your guides to Machame Camp, the destination for your first day of hiking. The porters and cooks walk ahead of the group to set up the camp in time for your arrival. For the first three kilometers you'll hike along a 4WD track that passes through the moss-covered trees of Kilimanjaro's cloud forest. You will then reach a signpost that marks the beginning of the mountain trail and the end of the 4WD track. The narrow trail is steeper and more slippery than the 4WD track and you will want to have your walking sticks with you. Continue on through the cloud forest for another 1.5 hours until you reach a clearing where you will break and eat lunch.
After lunch, you will hike through the cloud forest for another hour before leaving the forest for the scrubland. As the forest thins, the vegetation will change to include heathers, tall grasses and many species of wildflowers. If the weather is clear you will also be able to see some views of the surrounding area and your ultimate destination, Kibo Peak. Continue on for another half an hour before reaching Machame Camp for hot tea and snacks.
Day 2: Machame Camp (3,000m) to Shira Camp (3,840m).
Elevation Gain: 840 meters Hiking Time: 5-6 hours Distance: 7 kilometers Although considered to be the easiest day on the Machame Route, the route includes several strenuous uphill sections. You will be walking through exposed heather and moorland. Carry plenty of drinking water, as the hike can be quite hot on a clear day. During this section of the trail there are several viewpoints from which you can see the plains and forests below and Kibo and Mawenzi peaks above. As you gain altitude, the vegetation changes:
The trees diminish in size, giving way to Kilimanjaro's famous high altitude plants, Scenario Kilimanjaro and Lobelia deckenii. After eating lunch, you will climb the Shira Plateau, created when Kibo's lava flows filled up the Shira crater. Continue for another thirty minutes to Shira Camp, where you will relax for the rest of the day.
Day 3: Shira Camp (3,840m) to Barranco Camp (3,950m).
Elevation Gain: 690 meters Elevation Loss: 580 meters Hiking Time: 5 to 6 hours Distance: 10 kilometers Although this up and down day ends with an elevation gain of only 110 meters, by early afternoon you will have climbed 690 meters to a height of 4,530 meters before beginning your descent to Barranco Camp. Although the route is somewhat frustrating, this day is crucial for acclimatization. After breakfast, continue east on the Shira Plateau for two hours before reaching the junction for Shira and Lemosho Routes. Continue on through the barren landscape for another half an hour before stopping for lunch. Shortly after lunch you will reach the highest point of the day before descending quickly to Barranco Camp.
From the high point, you can see Lava Tower, a 300 -foot lava formation jutting out of the mountainside. Barranco Camp is considered to be the most scenic campsite on the Machame Route. From the campsite you will see magnificent views of Mount Meru, Heim Glacier and Kibo's southern face.
Day 4: Barranco Camp (3,950m) to Barafu Camp (4,550m)
Elevation Gain: 600 meters Hiking Time: 7 to 8 hours Distance: 8 Kilometers Leave Barranco Hut after an early breakfast to begin the long hike to Barafu Camp. The day begins with an hour and a half scramble up the Barranco Wall. This is the hardest part of the day and in some places you will have to use your hands to pull your body up.
After reaching the top, you will make a short descent into the greener Karanga Valley before continuing on to Barafu Camp. On the way to Barafu you will see several of Kibo's glaciers as well as the junction that connects our descent route, the Mweka trail, with the Machame trail. During day four you will hike by the Heim, Kersten and Decken Glaciers. Although the way to Barafu is bleak, alpine desert with little vegetation, Barafu Camp offers stunning views of Kibo and Mawenzi peaks, and Rebmann Glacier. Try to sleep as soon as you finish dinner as you will be waking up at midnight for your summit hike.
Day 5: Barafu Camp (4,550m) to Uhuru Peak (5,895m) to Mweka Camp (3,100m)
Elevation Gain: 1,345 meters Elevation Loss: 2,795 meters Hiking Time: 11-12 hours Distance: 18 kilometers At midnight you will begin your ascent to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa. For the next six hours, you will hike by flashlight. It is helpful to use a headlamp so your arms are free during the ascent. The Machame ascent to the crater rim is the most challenging part of the entire six-day trek. For much of the hike you will walk on a gravel slope that causes you to slip back slightly with every step forward. The going is extremely slow until you reach the crater rim at Stella Point. The hike from Stella Point to Uhuru Peak is a gradual climb and, as far as hikes go, not very difficult. The altitude, however, makes the hike a psychological battle, and you will need to go very slowly to reach the top. The guide will advise you on how to make the hike easier. The crater rim hike takes about forty-five minutes and you should reach Uhuru Peak around sunrise.
Take photos of your guide and group at the peak before beginning the long descent to Mweka Camp. On the way down from Uhuru you will enjoy breathtaking views of the mountain, crater, glaciers and Tanzania. If it is a cloudy day, you will still have the luxury of the gorgeous views of the clouds below. At Barafu Camp, eat breakfast, drink lots of tea and take a short break. You still have another three hours to go before reaching Mweka Camp, day five's destination.
Day 6: Mweka Camp (3,100m) to Mweka Gate (1,500m)
Elevation Loss: 1,600 meters Hiking Time: 2 to 3 hours Distance: 10 kilometers After breakfast you'll finish the trek with a descent to Mweka Gate. Your last hike on Kilimanjaro is a beautiful one, passing through the enormous trees of the cloud forest. Watch your step during the descent, as the trail can be extremely slippery. Safari vehicle will be waiting at the lower station of Mweka Gate to take you back to Arusha.

Murād Mīrzā
Murād Mīrzā (Arabic: مراد ميرزا; ?-1574) was the 36th Imam of the Nizari Ismaili Shia community.
He was a politically active Imam, possibly alongside the Nuqtavi Shia group, and had a large following.[1] Murād Mīrzā did not always operate from the Nizari base of Anjudan. As a result of his activeness, he acquired followers in Kashan and other central Persian areas.
Capture and execution[edit]
In 1573, due to the threat posed by the Imam, the 2nd Safavid monarch, Shah Tahmasp, ordered the governor of Hamadan, Amir Khan Musilu, to go to Anjudan to capture Murad Mirza. Amir Khan proceeded to Anjudan, and while killing a large number of the Imam's followers and taking much booty, was unable to capture him. However, the Imam was soon captured and imprisoned, but again escaped, this time with the aid of a sympathetic high-ranking Safavid official named Muhammad Muqim. With the help of his followers, the Imam was able to escape to Kandahar. However, while in Afghanistan, he was once again captured by the Safavids. This time there would be no escape, and after being brought before Shah Tahmasp he was executed alongside Muhammad Muqim in 1574.[2][3][4]

Can men take clomid
Category: Clomid
Questions and Answers
Any success with husband and wife taking Clomid?
I have been taking Clomid to help improve the shape of my sperm. Now, the doctor is putting my wife on it to help her produce more eggs and improve our changes even further. Has anyone had success with this? How many cycles did you go through before you became pregnant? For those of you that don't know, Clomid can be taken by men to improve sperm quality. Thanks for your help!
My husband is on Clomid as well. He is taking it for his low count and poor motility. He has to take it for 3 months at a time, (I think it is standard protocol, so it is likely the same for you) and this is his 2nd round. The first round didn't increase his count, but it did just slightly increase his motility a little. At one point both of us were both on Clomid, and at one point we also did 2 IUI's (also known as artificial insemination) but those both failed as well due to his low count and poor motility.
It takes 3 month for you to make a new sperm cell. Anything that you do today is going to affect your sperm 3 months from now. The Clomid that you are taking today will not take effect for 3 months, so don't expect results any sooner. Your dr should run another semen analysis 3 months after you first started taking Clomid to see if it has helped you at all, then your wife should begin taking it as well. Women should only be on Clomid no longer than 6 cycles at a time, so in my opinion, she should maybe wait to begin Clomid till you see if it has helped you at all. She can certainly start now, but it may be worth waiting to see your results, as she should only be on it for 6 cycles in a row, if she choses to do so.
Our urologist also told us about another product to help my husbands sperm, which he is taking right now along with Clomid. Here is the link: http://proxeed.com/
My husband takes this twice a day, morning and night. You do not need a prescription for this, and our urologist highly recommended it, so you may want to ask your dr about it to see if it may work for you. Again, since it takes 3 months to make a new sperm cell, results will take 3 months, with optimum results in 6 months. So, if after 3-6 months (after this here 3 month round of Clomid and Proxeed that he is on) his count has improved, we will discuss me going back on Clomid and possibly doing another IUI, as our reason for infertility is male factor.
Hope this helped. If you need to vent or need any further info, feel free to email me through my profile, I am happy to help! There will be a light at the end of the tunnel 🙂 Sending you and your wife all the luck in the world 🙂

Clomid for increasing testosterone levels?
I am a man 43 years of age.Can i take clomid to increase my testosterone levels?I am not in anaboliks,so,can clomid restore my testosterone or it works only after taking anaboliks?
Don't let the word 'anabolic' scare you – there is nothing wrong with taking a steroid if that is what you need.
One of the best sources of testosterone replacement therapy is topically applied creams/gels as they control the dosage with ease (can be changed daily as required – injections last weeks and once it's in you cannot get it out if the dose is wrong).
The creams are probably far better as they are not sticky, are not alcohol based (which causes skin rashes and irritation in many users), the creams also have far higher rates of adsorption through the skin (AndroGel has 10% adsorption and AndroMen Testosterone Cream has 70%), the AndroMen cream is also bio-identical (far safer than the synthetic varieties available).
People who have been TTC intercourse every other day? Possible?
I read people who have ben TTC for a year or 5 months or 8months… I have PCOS and for the past 3 months doc had asked us to have intercourse every other day since my periods were very irregular. Is it the same case with others who have irregular periods?? I mean do every couple need to try every other day? How can we ladies get into the mood to sex and does men take it?
Also as I stated earlier am gonna have an HSG test soon.Was very confident but now stating to have negative thoughts – what if my tubes are blocked etc etc… I have PCOS and we have been TTC next month will be on the 1st round of clomid!
i have pcos too and irregular periods, so my doctor recommended intercourse every 2-3 days. most women do not need to do this so often. women with regular periods can calculate out when they will ovulate, and can just have intercourse the day before or day of ovulation. it's only because our periods are irregular and we do not know when we'll ovulate that we should have sex so often.
but i started using ovulation predictor kits which are tests that you pee on each day and they tell you when you are ovulating. if you don't want to have sex every other day, you can use the predictor kits and then just have sex when you are ovulating.
Clomid cycle buddy help?
Does anyone know of a site that I can go to or is there anyone that wants to be "Clomid cycle buddies"? I just started taking Clomid 50 mg on the 5th for CD 5-9 and Metformin 1500mg daily. I was dx with PCOS in 2000. My DH is supportive but he doesn't really understand (as most men do..lol). I don't know anyone personally that is going through any of this (I don't even know anyone that is TTC) so I would really appreciate someone to talk to about all this. Thanks for your help!
I am going to start my Clomid circle in the next few days, it is my first time and I don't know what to expect. I can understand the feeling of want to talk to someone. I don have anyone to talk to as well because everyone always tell you 'don't worry you will be fine'.
I am trying to relax and stay positive about this, just believe in yourself that you are bless and will get pregnant soon.

wish we both get pregnant asap
On clomid, severe ovulation pain, no LH surge detected on OPK?
Hi Ladies, and men if you know the answer…
I am on day 14 of my cycle, took 50mg clomid from day 3-7, and had strong 'ovulation' pain on day 12 and 13. So far though, I have had NO sign on my daily OPK tests that I have ovulated….. there is a faint line on every one of them (next to the control line), they all look the same, but there is no change whatsoever. Can anyone give any insight?
Also, I have PCOS, and have read that clomid and or PCOS cannot change or effect the outcome of an OPK, but, I am really starting to wonder…
If you have experience or know whats happened, could you please share. I feel like I ovulated, but the tests are saying that I did not… I am confused.
Thanks all,
Keep in mind that the ovulation pain you thought you were experiencing might have well been clomid causing ovary activity and it not actually be ovulation. This happens to alot of ladies on clomid, myself included.
Yes, PCOS can affect opks. They can give numerous negatives before positives, but with clomid it should have straightened that out…clomid should be on target with your opks.
Glad you got your positive, and I hope it brings you a bfp soon. Good luck.
Been TTC for several months… any more suggestions?
Been trying for about 8 months. Both pretty healthy and I came off the pill about a year ago. Even then, I was only on it for a few months.
Two years before this, we were trying also, nothing for a year. But we hadn't been religiously trying, you know?
I think I'm ovulating, I get a white slimy discharge (I am STD free lol) about 2 weeks after my period every month. Give or take.
I am going to buy the book "Taking charge of your fertility."
I heard that men can take a supplement that helps sperm mobility. I am going to buy ovulation kits tonight.
My periods are just crazy, every 35-40 days(give or take) so I don't really know when I am supposed to ovulate.
I've heard of something called pre-seed. What does it do?
Also, the egg white like stuff is only to help the sperm get up where they need to be right? Isn't that what pre-seed is for? Also, about how much is it?
When will your Dr finally put you on clomid? I heard it does wonders lol.
Sorry for the 100 questions! thanks!
It's great that you bought the book- it will actually explain my first recommendation:
1) Chart your BBT. Its the only way to know if and when you are ovulating. Tracking the eggwhite cervical mucus and doing OPKs are great, but neither method GUARANTEES that you actually ovulate. Also, BBT will really help your doctor figure out what might be going on if you need to make an appointment to "move things along".
2) A simple multivitamin will help keep your hubby healthy. Zinc and selenium have also been linked to better sperm health. Also, smoking and alcohol can decrease sperm.
3) Make sure you are taking a prenatal vitamin so your baby can get a healthy start.
4) Preseed is a sperm-friendly lubricant. Most lubricants kill sperm because they don't have the proper consistency and ph. Preseed really only helps if you don't get that fertile CM (which it sounds like you do). Its probably not necessary if you get the eggwhite CM. I'm not sure on the price, but you can buy it online. A cheaper alternative is to make sure you are adequately hydrated (lots of water).
5) Yep. Eggwhite CM helps your sperm get to where it needs to go.
6) Your doctor may or may not put you on clomid depending on what your fertility issues are. Clomid only helps induce/strengthen ovulation, so if you don't have a problem with ovulation or if you have other hormonal/structural issues (or if hubby has a problem), other medication and procedures will be more helpful. See a doctor after you have been trying to concieve for at least a year if you are under 35. If you are over 35, seek a doctor after 6months.
Hope this helps a little! Good luck and lots of baby dust!!!
Progesterone, clomid, hcg?
I took 100mg of clomid this month as with 50mg my progesterone level was only 4 so they knew i hadn't ovulated but this time my progesterone is 32 and i really feel pregnant ive been sick my boobs are really sore I'm hot all the time and constipated! Also really tired but i know sometimes clomid can do funny things.
Anyway i went and got my day 21 blood test and asked them to do a pregnancy test too.
Just phoned for results and the secretary said that it said there was a low amount of hcg in my blood and that it had written on it not normally seen in men or non pregnant women?
Shes gonna check with a doctor and get back to me??
Do you think as it was only day 21 it would be low anyway?
I would think so yes.
I thought any hcg was a good thing.
Wishing you well

Location: Honey Bee Breeding, Genetics, and Physiology Research2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is the central pest of domesticated and free-living honey bee, causing direct impacts on bee health as well as indirect effects caused by vectoring viruses and other bee disease agents. We propose to use emerging high-throughput sequencing techniques to sequence, assemble and annotate the genome of this mite, and use the resulting insights to improve honey bee health and crop pollination. We will increase project impacts through a cost-effective partnership across existing academic sequencing and informatics centers and by choosing appropriate sequencing techniques for specific questions. We will leverage this project by engaging ca. 40 academic and governmental researchers in a volunteer consortium, 22 of whom met along with nine industry leaders for an initial 'Varroa Genome Workshop' in January, 2009, at the American Beekeeping Federation Annual Convention, Reno Nevada.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
We will continue genomic sequencing to 20x coverage with an 'optimal' mix of straight and end-pair 454 reads, followed by genome assembly. Transcriptome surveys will be carried out using 454 pyrosequencing, focused on 1) nymphal development, 2) host finding (tarsal library), 3) immune responses (gut with and without virus infection), and 4) gut microbes. SNPs and protein polymorphism will be discovered using the ABI SOLiD platform on the mite transcriptome. These data will be aligned with homologous sequence data from the genome reads and from the 454 transcriptome reads to give an abundance of SNPs. Development and testing of a canonical gene will be followed by Integration and posting of emerging data via Beebase, NCBI, and other public databases.
3. Progress Report
The initial stages of sequencing are being completed by other investigators on the AFRI grant. The canonical gene set assembly will begin late in FY 2011, after which the varroa microarray will be developed and tested.
4. Accomplishments

A New Spin on Father's Day Giving
Prostate Cancer Education Council encourages men's health awareness this Father's Day
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the top five leading causes of death in American men are heart disease, cancer, accidental injuries, stroke and chronic lower respiratory disease—most of which are either preventable or treatable if caught early. This year, share the below tips with Dad to help keep him happy, healthy, and celebrating many more Father's Days for years to come, including:
1. HEART DISEASE: The number one cause of death in American men, Dad's risk can be reduced by making healthier lifestyle choices and taking care of conditions that can increase his risk of heart disease, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. This year, encourage Dad to eat right, maintain a healthy weight, give up smoking, and get regular check ups (blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.).
2. CANCER: Early detection is imperative to fighting this leading cause of death among men. Screenings have been shown to be effective in finding cancer early, particularly for prostate cancer. Impacting one in six American men, prostate cancer currently affects more than two million American men. Often treatable if detected early, there are frequently no signs or symptoms of the disease at its earliest stages, making screening essential to saving lives. If Dad is 45 years or older, or 40 years of age with high risk factors, the Prostate Cancer Education Council advises that Dad keep screening on his yearly to-do list.
3. ACCIDENTAL INJURIES: Motor vehicle, poisoning, falls and drowning accidents are among those most common causes of fatal unintentional injury to men. While accidents can happen any time, any where we can encourage Dad to take safety measures whether driving, at home or in the workplace.
4. STROKE: While nearly three–quarters of all strokes occur in people over the age of 65, they can—and do—occur at ANY age. While you can't control some stroke risk factors, such as family history, age and race, you can encourage Dad to control the leading cause—high blood pressure—as well as other contributing factors such as smoking and diabetes.
5. CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE: Chronic lower respiratory disease refers to chronic (ongoing) diseases that affect the lower respiratory tract (including the lungs). One of the most serious and prevalent forms is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The main cause of COPD is smoking and men who smoke are 12 times as likely to die of COPD compared to men who've never smoked. This year, help Dad quite smoking, avoid second hand smoke and minimize exposure to workplace chemicals to reduce his risk for COPD.
"There is still much to be done in terms of educating the public about the risks men face for prostate cancer and other fatal diseases, especially when it comes to the role of screening and early detection" said Wendy Poage, Executive Director, Prostate Cancer Education Council. "For prostate cancer, new screening methods are making it easier than ever for men to catch their conditions while the disease is still manageable."
One such example is a new molecular biomarker for PCA3, which offers additional information to aid in the diagnosis of prostate cancer through a urine test "The PCEC is currently evaluating its role in early detection, watching how it performs with and without PSA and other tests," said Dr. David Crawford, Chair, Prostate Cancer Education Council.
Gen-Probe Incorporated is a national sponsor of the PCEC's Father's Day Awareness Campaign and sells PCA3 ASRs (Analyte Specific Reagents) to several highly specialized laboratories across the U.S. (i.e., labs which are CLIA certified for high complexity clinical testing). Currently, there are several labs that offer urine tests to identify the PCA3 gene, including: Bostwick Laboratories, Dianon Systems/LabCorp, OUR Labs, CARIS/MPI and Mosaic Diagnostics.
About Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer, other than skin cancers, in American men. Estimates for 2008 indicate that more than 186,000 men will be diagnosed in the United States, and nearly 28,700 will die from the disease. African American men are twice as likely to get prostate cancer and twice as likely to die from the disease. The second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer, prostate cancer is often treatable if detected early.
About the Prostate Cancer Education Council
A national organization committed to men's health, the Prostate Cancer Education Council (PCEC) is dedicated to saving lives through awareness and the education of men, the women in their lives, as well as the medical community about prostate cancer prevalence, the importance of early detection, and available treatment options, as well as other men's health issues.

Directors Blog: New exhibitions, Ellen Terry and Peter Blake
Posted 16th June 2014
Watts Contemporary Gallery
It is exciting to open another show – but not just one – two! The Ellen Terry: A Painter's Actress opened on 9 June to great interest and support. The actress Geraldine James, spoke powerfully about the importance of this great icon of the 19th Century and gave a reading of the Quality of Mercy speech by Portia from The Merchant of Venice. It was very moving and combined with the film that is being shown of Ellen Terry as part of the exhibition, the painter's actress really felt present in spirit. The second exhibition which opened on 7 June was Peter Blake: Pop Victoriana, in the Old Pottery Gallery. This is wonderful. The quality of the prints produced by CCA Galleries is supreme and the inspiration of the Victorian age on Peter Blake's creative process is clearly evident. There is even a collection of Alice in Wonderland prints. All the works are for sale. Peter Blake attended the opening and it was observed that he shared a number of parallels with Watts – a driving energy to explore new genres for expression, the importance of values in his art – hope, love, faith etc, and his belief that his art encompasses all his experience.
This week a group of Watts Gallery patrons flew off to Russia! This is part of their strengthening the partnership between Watts Gallery Trust and Polenovo – an artist's campus two hours from Moscow, founded by Vassily Polenov which also boasts an artist's house and studio, a gallery and a chapel. Watts Gallery Trust is developing a network of artists' studio house museums and this week there was a meeting with a European funder to support the development of the network.
When an eminent artist commends the importance of Watts and Watts Gallery it is really heartening. Sir Antony Gormley was generous enough to address a group of Watts patrons and benefactors at the Serpentine in May, to celebrate the importance of Watts's sculpture Physical Energy and to help Watts Gallery in its efforts to raise the funds for Limnerslease. In his words he spoke about his very generous gift of a sculpture Another Time XIII which was sold at auction to support the Limnerslease project "All I want to say is that I gave just something that I do every day in order to honour the spirit of an artist that I think understood the centrality of art and creativity in human life; who wanted to share it, whose work is so enormous, in many ways he cannot be categorised and this is why I love him so much. That a man who made Physical Energy could also make the extraordinary universal tribute to individual acts of bravery that you can find in Postman's Park, but also painted the Sower of Systems that in some way liberated art from all representation and talked about cosmic energy long before Jackson Pollock."
Watts Gallery Trust could not continue without the support of so many people. Every day the Gallery can only open because there are stewards to care for the collection, to welcome visitors and to enhance their visit through sharing their knowledge and passion. In the recent discussions about volunteers, whether little old ladies, distinguished gentleman, young people, or just straight individuals of all kinds, independent gallery museums such as Watts Gallery could not survive without their support. Moreover, the over 300 volunteers who do work with us join us on a journey of learning. There are quarterly meetings to hear their views, learn more about the collection, discover some hidden letter or painting, review the learning programme, give feedback on new events such as Watts at Dusk and Watts at Dawn. The volunteers are a vital part of the organisation and I call them the third eye of governance. Their comments keep me in touch and on target! We are very grateful.

A literature review is presented regarding the synthesis, and physicochemical, chemical, and mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid)(PLA). Poly(lactic acid) exists as a polymeric helix, with an orthorhombic unit cell. The tensile properties of PLA can vary widely, depending on whether or not it is annealed or oriented or what its degree of crystallinity is. Also discussed are the effects of processing on PLA. Crystallization and crystallization kinetics of PLA are also investigated. Solution and melt rheology of PLA is also discussed. Four different power-law equations and 14 different Mark–Houwink equations are presented for PLA. Nuclear magnetic resonance, UV–VIS, and FTIR spectroscopy of PLA are briefly discussed. Finally, research conducted on starch–PLA composites is introduced.
