Firefighters representing more than 30 agencies from the greater Los Angeles area and beyond convened Tuesday for an intensive four-day experience to learn how to safeguard their own lives in the line of duty.
The Fire Ground Survival Class, which was hosted by the Los Angeles Fire Department, teaches firefighters how to "get out of a bad situation" while fighting a structural fire and avoid getting into a "Mayday" scenario in the first place, said LAFD Capt. Andy Ruiz, lead instructor for the International Association of Fire Fighters.
The IAFF helped develop and fund the firefighter survival program — billed as the most comprehensive survival skills and Mayday prevention program available — with grant assistance from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. While the national curriculum has been taught to and tested by individual departments in recent years, Tuesday marked the first time the program has been rolled out to all departments in an entire fire area, Ruiz noted.
"This is monumental for the Fire Service," he said, watching the class at the Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center near Dodger Stadium. "It's the first time in the nation that we're (instructing) the entire region and that, to me, is huge. And we're setting the footprint for the rest of the nation because they're watching us. If it's successful, they will be using the same (methodology)."
Nationwide, an average of 100 firefighters lose their lives in the line of duty annually, with 58 killed so far this year, Ruiz said, adding that the vast majority die in structural fires due to communication issues, a lack of company unity or complacency.
Firefighters from 31 agencies who are training this week and in similar upcoming sessions will take what they've learned back to their own departments. Ultimately, this training — which was made possible as a result of more than $500,000 in grant money — will reach 9,000 firefighters in Region I, Ruiz said, which includes every agency in the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
"Everything we teach is based on a line-of-duty death — everything," Ruiz said. "Somebody put their uniform on and died, and we don't want it to happen again."
In addition to classroom time, officials said firefighters will play out life-threatening scenarios — such as being trapped in a confined space, escaping from multi-story windows and getting out when a roof has collapsed — and practice what to do in a blaze when they are trapped, disoriented, running out of air or lost and how to breach a wall or go out a window headfirst.
The survival program, which was developed by a committee of experts, applies lessons learned from firefighter fatality investigations conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
"Being in a fire is unpredictable — it's dangerous," LAFD spokesman Erik Scott said, noting he had the roof of a single-family home collapse on him while fighting a fire about five years ago in North Hollywood, leaving him with severe injuries.
"I can tell you firsthand," he said, "it does happen, even though you are trying to determine all the instances so you're not caught in that situation."
While the number of fires has significantly declined in recent decades, the number of firefighters deaths has not. That is largely due to the use of more combustible, petroleum-based materials in buildings, such as couches and carpeting, said Burbank Fire Department Battalion Chief David Schmitt, who was assisting with the training.
While a candle or cigarette dropped on a couch 50 years ago usually confined itself to the couch, today such a fire would likely spread to the entire room in the same amount of time, he said.
For years, he added, trainers did not take into consideration some of these evolving factors, but they've had to change their techniques in light of new realities on the ground.
"If there is a life in danger, we're going to risk our lives to save that life," Schmitt said. "If it's just a building, especially an abandoned or vacant building, we're not going to risk a life.
"Whereas we've been doing that for so many years and we were successful, we can't go in and have that offensive line all the time because the way the fires are burning have changed so much."

Outbound 2
I had removed links to this page for a while out of sheer embarrassment, but now I think it provides a sense of movement and background -- this image and its sentiments were among my first steps upon a new road of being aware of the importance of quality of mind.
How things change: now it's 2001, graphics tablet, Photoshop, PC, and a host of experiences that have flowed by: pain, tears, and joys. I'm now several jobs away, thoughts away, lifetimes away ... well, not quite lifetimes, not yet. I won't say I'm any better an artist, but my perspective has changed in many subtle ways, and I daresay I'm a bit wiser now (though just as much an idiot as ever).
What I wrote of this image years ago: Pixel pushing manga-style again. What can I say? Oh, yeah, well, I hope I am outbound in a generally upward direction. I hope. Though I hadn't thought of that at the time....
I can only pray that my path does take me upward.

After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10 (release candidate), I've recently noticed stuttering in video playback. That might very well also be related to my using the intel 2.5.0 xorg driver. But Phoronix now made a correct examination and found out Ubuntu is getting slower and slower since 7.04.
Complexity or just bad programming? Is it related to the kernels gettings worse and if so, is that related to the Ubuntu patches or the vanilla kernel? I'm curious for hopefully following explanations.

Sometimes it's best to just leave well-enough alone. Editorial Director John DeDad takes a look at the effects — both good and bad — of swapping out an oversized transformer for an undersized one, and how to compensate for the change.
Q. Our service consists of a 1,500kVA, 12.47kV-480V utility-owned transformer with 6% impedance (Fig. 1). We have two large, 6-pulse adjustable speed drives. One is connected to a 660-hp dynamometer, and the other powers a 440-hp fan. Aside from these pieces of electrical equipment, we have virtually no other loads, except for a small amount of lighting.
We conducted a power system harmonic analysis and found that, as we suspected, the drives were producing 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonic currents. But we also found that the total harmonic distortion (THD) on the voltage was well within the guidelines specified by IEEE 519. In fact, the harmonic voltage distortion at the utility transformer secondary was less than 5% of the total of all harmonics, and less than 3% on any single harmonic.
Through several billing periods, our utility found that the total demand for our metered facility was only 315kW. According to our utility, the dynamometer, being a regenerative device, was not drawing power most of the time but instead was feeding power back into the system.
Feeling that its billing was accurate, our utility believed its transformer was oversized and decided to replace the 1,500kVA unit with a 500kVA unit. After all, with a maximum 315kW demand, the 500kVA unit was thought to be more suitable.
Shortly after replacing the original transformer, we began to see significant problems, mostly resulting from some interaction between our facility's power system and the new transformer. Basically, we found that the THD at the point of common coupling (PCC) was now in excess of 12% on the 5th harmonic alone, and over 9% for our entire power system. Any idea what happened?
DeDad's answer: Without access to the actual measurements of your harmonic analysis at your site, I can only guess what took place with the transformer change.
A major characteristic of harmonic currents and voltage distortion is that the voltage distortion increases, even when the same currents are flowing, as the source impedance increases. And this increased voltage distortion will be in direct proportion to any multiple of source impedance increase. In other words, the amount of voltage distortion that will occur varies with the magnitude of the source impedance, when distorted currents are flowing through this source.
In your situation, it could be that as the utility reduced the transformer size, it may have inadvertently increased the apparent impedance in the same proportion. In other words, the utility, in effect, reduced the transformer capacity by a factor of three (1,500kVA down to 500kVA) and possibly introduced a new apparent impedance of 18%.
When that happened, those harmonic currents now flow into what appears to be a very high-impedance source (the 500kVA transformer), which causes the voltage distortion to dramatically increase.
You have two options to eliminate the problem. The first is to have your utility replace the 500kVA ("high-impedance") transformer with a much lower one, possibly the original 1,500kVA unit. This will change the THD back to the original, acceptable levels.
The second option is keep the 500kVA transformer and to install a harmonic trap on its secondary (Fig. 2 above). This should remove the harmonic currents from the line. So without distorted currents, you should have only minimal voltage distortion.

By Anne Tergesen
In the wake of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the number of companies that automatically enroll new employees in 401(k) plans has risen dramatically. About 56% of large companies now do so, up from 24% in 2006, according to Aon Hewitt.
But until recently, the vast majority of employers have set default contribution rates at 3% of salary or less. As a result, there has been criticism that auto-enrollment—while raising participation rates—hasn't boosted overall savings rates.
Now, though, a growing number of employers are starting to take measures to raise employees' savings rates, according to a forthcoming "401(k) Wellness Scorecard" Bank of America Merrill Lynch has released annually since 2009. The scorecard represents a survey of the 1,349 retirement plans that use the financial-services company as a record-keeper, covering 2.5 million plan participants. (The latest installment will be published in a Bank of America Merrill Lynch report this Wednesday.)
Among the 401(k) plans Bank of America Merrill Lynch administers, nearly half of those that automatically enroll employees use a default contribution rate of 4% or higher. About 10% are automatically enrolling employees at a savings rate of 6% or more.
"Plan sponsors and administrators are taking pretty aggressive actions to help people achieve a higher rate of financial success," says Kevin Crain, head of Institutional Retirement & Benefits at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Financial advisers typically recommend saving 12% to 15% a year, combined with an employer's matching contribution. Vanguard, for example, estimates that those with incomes below $50,000 should save 9% of salary or more, a number that includes a company match; those with incomes between $50,000 and $100,000 should save 12% or more; and those with incomes above $100,000 should save 15% or more. The reason for the range: Social Security replaces a greater portion of income for individuals in the lower brackets.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch says companies are also helping their employees save more by automatically raising participants' contribution rates every year. (Employees can always opt out of an auto-enrollment or auto-increase program, but few do.) Among the companies that use the bank as a record keeper, 52% of those that use automatic enrollment also use auto-increase. The number with auto-increase has risen 17 percent over the past year.
Overall, the "Wellness Scorecard" reveals several other positive trends:
- The number of loans from 401(k)s declined about 5% from last year, while hardship and in-service withdrawals fell 8%.
- Over the past year, 81% of employees who took an action within their 401(k) plans did something positive—like starting or raising contributions. In contrast, only 9% did something negative, such as stopping or reducing contributions.
- In 2012, the number of employers who asked B of A Merrill Lynch to host educational meetings and seminars for employees rose by 30%. Moreover, the report says, "22% more employees took advantage of such financial education consulting services."

Kim Kardashian showed her support for Congressional candidate Marianne Williamson during a press event held on April 8th, 2014. The Vogue cover superstar (using that term loosely) sported a chic all black look with her favorite Tom Ford sandals and a $1,450 Bottega Veneta clutch.

I'm super proud of Kimmy (because we are friends in my head) and this semi-conservative yet wildly fashionable suit. It's the perfect take on how women can wear a masculine garment and not look… well like a man. The crisp contrast of fabric on the lapel and the drapery effect on the pants gives this suit the feminine touch it needs. Kim tops the look off with a natural fresh and sleek hair. I am here for Kim and her closet!

Finland has outsourced the submission of study and employment based residence permit applications to VFS Global. An appointment is mandatory. Please visit residencepermits.finland.fi for more information. Foreign nationals need to have a residence permit to stay in Finland for three months or longer. If you will be working in Finland, you will also need a residence permit for a shorter stay.
A residence permit may be granted on the grounds of family ties in Finland, employment, studies, Finnish descent, return migration, humanitarian grounds or for other exceptional reasons.
Nationals of other Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland) can enter Finland without restrictions and stay in the country without a residence permit. They also do not require a worker's residence permit.
EU and comparable nationals (Liechtenstein, Switzerland) do not require a residence permit. However, they must register with the Finnish Immigration Service no later than three months after arriving in the country.
Most residence permit applications can be submitted online at https://enterfinland.fi/.
An online application requires:
The decision to grant a permit rests with the Finnish Immigration Service. Honorary Consulates cannot receive applications.
In some cases applications for a residence permit based on grounds of family ties or other reasons can be filed with the Finnish Immigration Service in Finland.
Applications must be carefully completed and signed. All necessary attachments must be obtained in advance before submitting the application. Applications may be submitted in Finnish, Swedish or English. All attachments must be translated into one of these languages. Applicants will be fingerprinted when visiting a service point.
Applications cannot be submitted by an agent or mailed in.
More information about residence permits.
The residence permit fee is payable in advance and will be charged at the time of submitting the application.
The fees are listed on the Finnish Immigration Service website and on the Embassy's or Consulate's website (see scrollbar on the left).
Processing fees are not refunded for refused applications.
It is difficult to give any exact guide on processing times. Requests for supplementary documentation are bound to affect the processing time. The Embassy or Consulate has no influence over processing times at the Finnish Immigration Service.
Average processing times are listed on the Finnish Immigration Service website.
Applicants whose permit application is approved will receive a biometric residence permit card. The card is valid for up to five years and must subsequently be renewed. Applications for a renewed residence permit card can only be filed with the Finnish Immigration Service in Finland.
The residence permit card is not tied to a specific passport, but the personal information in both documents must be identical. In other words the residence permit card must be renewed to reflect any changes in the passport's personal information.
Applicants who have a residence permit sticker in their old passport and who get a new passport must apply for a residence permit card.
If you are a visa national with a residence permit, you must report a missing or stolen residence permit card to the police. To be admitted to Finland again, you must submit a copy of that report to a Finnish mission and apply for a new residence permit. As a ground rule a Schengen visa cannot be considered even though the applicant has a valid residence permit.
A person who holds a residence permit may live and travel in Finland and leave the country and re-enter during the validity of the residence permit. Persons who hold a worker's residence permit are furthermore entitled to work in Finland.
A person who holds a residence permit may also stay and travel within the Schengen area for up to three months, provided they are not subject to an entry ban to the country in question.
A fixed-term residence permit is issued for either temporary (a so-called B permit) or continuous residence (A permit). The type of permit granted and its validity will depend, among other things, on the nature and purpose of the stay.
The worker's residence permit is either temporary (B) or continuous (A), depending on the nature of the job.
Students' residence permits are always temporary, B permits.
Residence permits issued on grounds of family ties will be issued for periods not exceeding the validity of the sponsor's permit. The type of residence permit (A or B) depends on the sponsor's permit. The first residence permit is usually issued for one year, unless the application is expressly for a shorter period. A person with a continuous residence permit may be granted an extension of no more than four years at a time.
Residence permits are issued for continuous residence after two years of temporary stay, provided there have been no changes in the conditions on which the permit was granted.
Foreign nationals with a fixed-term residence permit and planning to stay beyond the validity of the permit must apply for an extension well ahead of time. Applications for an extension can only be submitted to the Finnish Immigration Service in Finland. If the residence permit card has expired, an applicant needs to apply for a new residence permit from the Finnish mission abroad. As a ground rule, a Schengen visa cannot be considered.
A permanent residence permit can be granted when the applicant has been resident in Finland for four consecutive years on a continuous residence permit. A permanent residence permit is valid for an indefinite period.
A fixed-term or permanent residence permit is revoked if the foreign national has moved permanently out of Finland or if they have remained outside the country for two years without interruption, with the intention of staying there permanently.
Under the newly revised Population Information Act, persons planning to move abroad for three months or longer are required to notify the local register office that they are moving temporarily or permanently.

The bulls are back in town — and there\'s a growing sense that they\'re staying awhile.
The S&P 500 logged its 16th record close for 2014 on Wednesday, leaving U.S. market bears verging on their 19th nervous breakdown.
Bulls got another big boost after the close Wednesday from S&P Capital IQ. The research firm\'s Investment Policy Committee — which has been upbeat on U.S. stocks — raised its 12-month target for the S&P 500 to 2100 from 1985 — a 9% price increase. The model portfolio allocation of 50% U.S. stocks, 15% international stocks, 25% bonds, and 10% cash was left unchanged.
S&P Capital IQ consensus estimates see operating EPS increasing 12.4% from 2014\'s second quarter to the comparable quarter in 2015. As for inflation fears, they\'re overblown, the committee said; it expects inflation to run at or slightly below the recent 2.0% year-over-year increase in headline CPI.
This sunny economic and market outlook allows the possibility of a slight P/E contraction to below 17-times earnings as the U.S. bull market continues for a sixth year. Still, S&P Capital IQ said the market\'s current fundamentals \"support a high single-digit price appreciation for U.S equities in the coming year.\"
Technical traders, take note: S&P Capital IQ says that while the trend for the S&P 500 remains bullish, the index is unlikely to make any meaningful gains until the other indices establish themselves above current resistance levels. For the S&P 500 itself, traders can look for support on a pullback to a range between 1876 and 1850, which was the January high this year, S&P Capital IQ noted.
S&P Capital IQ added: \"While these levels of support remain intact, and the ascending trend channel remains in force, we continue to be bullish and anticipate further gains.\"
Skeptical? Check out Wall Street veteran Sam Eisenstadt\'s latest six-month forecast, which sees the S&P 500 hitting 2100 by the end of November.

Staples, Darien girls finish 2nd, 3rd at State Open track
NEW HAVEN -- Prior to the season, the Darien girls indoor track team set its sights on the triple crown -- FCIAC, Class LL and State Open -- of championships for the second straight season.
On Monday afternoon at the Floyd Little Athletic Center at Hillhouse High School, the Blue Wave, winners of the FCIAC and Class LL titles, fell short of their third goal, and instead finished third (32.75) behind champion Wilbur Cross (46) and runner-up Staples (42.33).
"We're a little disappointed," said Darien's Dillon Schoen. "It was kind of an off day for some people and I think that's what sports are all about. You can't have your day every day and we had a really great season up to this meet."
The Wreckers actually held the lead going into the final event -- the 4x400 relay -- but the Governors' took first in the event to win the title.
"We really wanted to win, we set our eyes on winning it, but we are really happy with it," Staples coach Jesse McCray said. "We wanted to get first, but we can't deny the effort of our girls."
The 1600-meter race featured three of the top runners in the region in Wilbur Cross' Danae Rivers, Hannah DeBalsi of Staples and Westhill's Claire Howlett. The trio put on a phenomenal show, with Rivers passing DeBalsi late in the race. She held off a late charge from DeBalsi to claim the victory. Rivers' time of 4:52.29 was a new state record while DeBalsi (4:52.57) and Howlett (4:53.07) each posted personal bests.
"It was a great race, strong runners and great competition," Howlett said. "Having more people that can run that sub-5 (minute) level is a big deal and makes it for a more strategic race. .. I just didn't have enough."
Darien -- led by Anna Sulger and Schoen -- opened the meet with a win in the 4x200 relay (1:45.93), edging Bloomfield (1:46.05) while Danbury came in third (1:47.87). New Milford, which took fifth as a team with 20 points, (9:32.35) took first in the 4x800 relay.
Weston's Rhemi Toth finished second in the 1000 meter run (2:58.91), Ridgefield's Laura Hergenrother (2:59.2) was third and Staples' Erica Hefnawy finished fourth (3:00.00).
Staples' Tyler Scanlin (1:36.52) finished first in the 600 meter dash, using a late-race kick to edge Jenna Olander of Tolland (1:36.60). Katie Foley (1:36.89) of Trumbull finished third.
"(It feels) incredible," Scanlin said. "I think it was unexpected honestly. It felt so good at the end knowing that I had it. After the second lap knowing there was only one lap left, I just had to push through."
DeBalsi, who earned 18 points for the Wreckers, set an Open record with her victory in the 3200 (10:41.39), beating the previous record set in 2011 by 10 seconds.
Sarah Boyd of McMahon finished second in the 55 meter hurdles (8.55). Catherine Lacy of Darien finished second in the long jump (17-06.25).
Jenna Calandro won the pole vault (11-07) while Darien's Madeline Schneider finished second (11-00).

Very enjoyable show.
Charlie, did you play someone called Teddy Turner - the bluesy song. The guy with the fairly high pitched vocal? His phrasing reminded me of Little George Sueref, for some reason.
I enjoyed the programme.

30 Day Ride Out Guarantee With this Surfboard - Don't like it? swap it
Firewire Helium Spitfire surfboard 6ft 4 Futures - White
Product Details
Firewire marketing Director, Chuy Reyna, was looking for all the benefits of the Dominator but with even more performance. The SPITFIRE combines a diamond tail and STEP-DOWN tail rail, giving the SPITFIRE the tail bite of a much thinner board, without losing the Dominator's speed and flotation. The SPITFIRE offers the same Five Fin quad/thruster option and a low entry rocker for easy paddling.
Firewire's Helium tech is all about making an already amazing set of construction options even better. Its lighter, seems strong, no signs of any pressure marks at all, and very fast. The top and bottom skins are parabolic rail set up is a new Paulownia/Balsa mix which is meant to give faster flex response. Having surfed the tech in a couple of different models it does feel light but the speed through a stiffer feel and responsiveness is exceptional, Helium is here to stay.
The Firewire Spitfire shortboard is a perennial favourite, the perfect blend of paddling, performance and versatility.
Boardshop is stoked to be a key partner for Firewire surfboards across Europe and beyond, we've been with them since the very start. Firewire surfboards are more durable than other surfboard manufacturing processes, and for 90% of surfers they will improve your surfing. Firewire is pushing the limits of applying new technology and innovation to surfboard design and always has an eye on the environmental impact of what they do, they truly are different to the other board companies out there. Firewire have come a long way since the early boards and the range of shapes and tech just gets better and better. A big chunk of the boards in the range are perfectly suited to the waves that 90% of us surf on a regular basis so if you haven't already give them a try. The staff here have surfed pretty much every board in the Firewire range at some time or another and we speak to surfers from all over the world and get their feedback on how the boards perform in all sorts of conditions so we're well placed to talk about all aspects of Firewire surfboards.

Overall Customer Rating
Andrew (reviewed 13/05/2018)
So, I'm 6'7 at 108kg and bought the 6'6 Spitfire Helium at 45ltr volume. I'm an intermediate surfer with reasonable weekend worrier paddling power. Waves surfed were reef breaks from lazy to punchy. Board performed perfectly and is easy to paddle, light, durable (unless a long boarder rides into you), stable to take-off on and turns on a dime. The steeper the better but does well in most conditions.
If in doubt about the size, trust the gents at boardshop as they haven't missed a beat on any of my board purchases. Delivery was fast and efficient with thoughtful packing. They even packed my board into the surfboard sock and bag that I bought and then wrapped the whole thing for delivery. Fantastic :)
Thanks again and highly recommend boardshop.
Nicolas Neumann (reviewed 17/04/2018)
Apart from that, the Spitfire is a great allrounder (more performance than the Dominator) and a true hybrid. If you need a performance orientated one board quiver from 2-6ish ft, look no further!

Students should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, vice president of student development or other appropriate official written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. A form can be obtained from the Office of the Registrar that the student may use to request access to Academic Records. Other offices or departments will develop their own method-granting access. After the written request, each office or department will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the university official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They may write or use the appropriate form as designated by each office to the University official responsible for the record, clearly identifying the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.
If the university decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the university will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the university in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the university has contracted for a service (such as an attorney, auditor or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks; or a volunteer or other non-employee with legitimate educational interests.
A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
Upon request, the university may disclose education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll and by law must provide name and address of all students to any legitimate military recruiter who makes such a request in writing to the Office of the Registrar.

The 103rd Psalm is one of my favorites. There's a lot packed into less than two dozen verses. Scripture scholars divide it into four parts. I've long thought it deserves an extended musical treatment. But I'm not yet the composer to tackle that.
It is one of the nine common psalms for ordinary time, and arises fairly frequently in the Lectionary.
Naturally, 22 verses are too many to include at Mass. (Feel free to use them all at my funeral, however.) So the Lectionary framers have given us the following four stanzas:
The Lord is compassion and love,
slow to anger and rich in mercy.
He does not treat us according to our sins
nor repay us according to our faults.
As a father has compassion on his (children),
the Lord has pity on those who fear him;
for he knows of what we are made,
he remembers that we are dust.
As for (us, our) days are like grass;
(we) flower like the flower of the field;
the wind blows and (we are) gone
and (our) place never sees (us) again.
But the love of the Lord is everlasting
upon those who hold him in fear;
his justice reaches out to children's children
when they keep his covenant in truth.
Two antiphons are given:
The Lord is kind and merciful.
The salvation of the just comes from the Lord.
The former is much more common in the published musical repertoire and is a sort of default choice.
Getting back to the verses, it might be that among the published choices in the musical repertoire, these specific verses may or may not be included. But these are as appropriate as any for the funeral Mass.
Sections II and III of Psalm 103 (verses 6-18) reinforce God's power and authority over his people. But they also leave the door wide open for mercy. Like many readings, especially those we recently looked at in the eleventh chapter of John's Gospel, this psalm emphasizes God's tenderness toward those whom he loves. God is very aware of our human makeup: frail, mortal, fleeting, weak, sinful. Yet God's love does not waver–even for sinners.
How to best communicate God's deep love without getting sentimental, trite, or cloying in the music: that would be the challenge I would look for in a musical setting of the 103rd. You musicians out there, which setting would you recommend, and why?

Reports from Camelback Ranch
Colletti says no to Beimel. Then there is this report about Beimel being linked with the Oakland A's. So we are going to see Beimel wearing this Uniform ? Weird ! Thanks Mike for the picture.
6 comments:
I know all the females are in love with Ethier. But you know what Roberto ? Your brother is right. I met Ethier when he was a rookie and he was a real nice guy. I was with my sister and he was flirting with her ! Then I met him last December and I was surprised that he ignored me. My little brother gave him a ball and he signed it and gave it to me. He didn't even look at his face.

I thought it was Just me that Andre was like that with. Me and my wife call him Andre I don't sign photos Ethier. He shot me down cold. I felt like crap when he told me that. I hope he lossens up.
- March 7, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Bet he wish he had Beimel today
- March 7, 2009 at 3:47 PM
I'm a big Ethier fan. I've never had a problem with Ethier. ok I'm a girl, I don't know if that helps. But I think it all depends on the situation. Maybe he is tired. Maybe he is in a bad mood. Maybe he just hates signing. I love you Andre !

- Roberto said...
@ Joey - Wow dude, I wonder how many more people have had this experience ?
@ Evan - I'm sorry to hear that. I know how it feels when someone treats bad and you get that crappy feeling. Tony Gwynn, Randy Johnson, and Jim Rice are the top 3 that I can remember that made me feel like that lol
@ Mike - You are right. I guess Joe Torre is not a big fan of Beimel.
@ EthierFan - Look I've never had a problem with him. I've met him several times and the guy has been nice. Ethier was there in December at the Season Ticket Holders event at Dodger Stadium, very nice like always. Last February, I got him at the Caravan. He looked serious but that's about it. But I find it odd that lot's of fans have told me this via this blog or by e-mail and telling me that Ethier is not a nice guy. Just odd. Many people are just going to write to me and lie ? Who knows. Then my brother tells me the same thing !
Also, last year (November to be exact) I was able to do a little question and answer session with Jason Repko. He replied to me and I posted it in this blog. Then in December, I did the same thing to Ethier. He didn't write back. Didn't even say he can't do the Q/A. He just ignored me. I had plans on doing other Q/A with Loney and Kemp but after Ethier's rejection, I didn't feel I should do it.
Maybe I'll do it. Let's see what happens.

OMG, no! I don't want to believe this about my love Ethier! Every time I've met him, he has been SUPER nice! Maybe Maggie is watching from a distance ,now that he's closer to home, so he can't enjoy anything Haha. I heard she's mean to him but I don't know because I've never seen them together. But either way, I still love him

QX3 Digital Image Gallery
Pieces and Stems, Part 2
This collection of chip parts was photographed using oblique illumination and colored gels with the Intel Play QX3 microscope in reflected light.
The digital images presented above were captured using the oblique illuminator built into the microscope head with the assistance of a Dolan-Jenner Model 180 fiber optics illuminator using a 150 watt projection lamp. The light pipes of the illuminator were placed at approximately a 45-degree angle with respect to the optical axis of the microscope and were positioned to evenly illuminate the specimen. In many cases, colored gels were placed into filter holders and attached to the front of the light pipes to add color to the chip surfaces. A 2-inch square section of black paper was placed over the diffusion filter on the stage of the microscope to avoid any glare from transmitted illumination.

About this font family
Market Street Neon is an all-caps condensed display font constructed with two rounded-end strokes; the lowercase set is included as a repeat of the uppercase to make setting type just that little bit easier. I designed this font to be a little bit more "San Francisco" (hence the name of the font), with a contemporary and upscale feeling. It's intended for use in larger sizes of type, upwards of 48 pt. Market Street Neon is perfect for a design that wants to imitate neon—use it in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator or Corel with color & blend effects, and its geometry also lends itself well to simple color for signage, packaging, posters etc. that will pop.

Immunoglobulin Therapies
The information contained in this page is intended for Malaysian healthcare professionals only.
On this page:
Treatment Options4
There are effective treatment options for most patients with primary immunodeficiency (PI), although the types of treatments differ based on the type of PI.
Antibody replacement therapy
Antibody replacement therapy, the use of IgG concentrates administered intravenously, is an important therapeutic option for patients who are unable to produce adequate amounts of antibodies. The IgG product, prepared from large pools of human plasma to assure a broad spectrum of antibodies, is known as immunoglobulin, gammaglobulin, or immune serum globulin. The intravenous preparations are known as IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin) or immunoglobulin intravenous (IGIV).
IVIG is indicated for treatment of primary immunodeficiency diseases as well as an immunomodulatory therapy.
As a replacement therapy, IVIG does not stimulate new production of antibodies, so it must be readministered at regular intervals to maintain protective levels. Most PI patients using IVIG for regular antibody replacement therapy receive infusions every 3-4 weeks.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the process in which stem cells from a normal donor are given to a PI patient. In the past, stem cells were taken from bone marrow, but now new techniques support separation from peripheral blood and cord blood. Stem cell transplantation is commonly used with PIs involving granulocytes, T-cell or combined T-cell and B-cell deficiencies, such as severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, hyper-IgM syndromes and chronic granulomatous disease.
Gamma-Interferon, PEG-ADA, and G-CSF
Gamma-Interferon, PEG-ADA, and G-CSF are therapies derived from enzymes and proteins which target specific processes in specific PIs. Gamma-Interferon may be used to help phagocytes kill bacteria more effectively in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). PEG-ADA may be used in treating infants with a rare form of SCID involving deficiency of an enzyme, adenosine deaminase (ADA). G-CSF (Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor) may be used with patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant or those with low numbers of granulocytes.
Gene therapy
Gene therapy involves replacement of the defective gene with a normal copy. Although there have been positive outcomes with young patients with several of the SCID diseases, this type of therapy is still regarded as experimental.
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIs)
Immunodeficiency intrinsic to cells and tissues of the immune system, and not due to another illness, medication or outside agent damaging the immune system. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IGIV) therapy is used to treat PIs associated with defects in humorol immunity (ie, a lack of antibody production). These include, but are not limited to, common variable immunodeficiency, X-linked agammaglobulinemia, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and severe combined immunodeficiency. IGIV therapy is not effective for some types of PI, such as selective IgA deficiency or complement deficiencies.1 To date there are over 150 PIs classified by the World Health Organization (WHO).2,3
Common variable immunodeficiency
A disorder characterized by low levels of serum immunoglobulins (antibodies) and an increased susceptibility to infections. The genetic causes of the low levels of serum immunoglobulins are not known in most cases. It is a relatively "common" form of immunodeficiency, but the degree and type serum-immunoglobulin deficiency as well as the clinical course is "variable" from patient to patient.4
X-linked agammaglobulinemia
A PI disorder in which males are susceptible to bacterial infection, due to a mutation in the Btk gene which leads to a lack of antibody production.5 The disorder is X-linked as it is on the X chromosome, and is almost entirely limited to the sons of asymptomatic female carriers.4
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
An inherited defect of the immune system, caused by a mutation in the WAS gene located on the X chromosome.6
Severe combined immunodeficiency
A genetic disorder in which both B cells and T cells of the adaptive immune system are crippled, due to a defect in one of several possible genes. SCID is a severe form of heritable immunodeficiency.7
Secondary immunodeficiencies
A number of conditions such as malignancies, particularly those of the haematopoietic and lymphoreticular systems, metabolic disease, malnutrition, burns or severe infection can also cause defective immune function and poor antibody response. In particular, Intravenous immunoglobulin (IGIV) therapies, are used to treat chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL) and myeloma (MM).8 These patients may benefit from immunoglobulin replacement therapy in addition to standard treatment of their primary disease.
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), is an autoimmune disease characterized by a low blood platelet count, sometimes referred to as Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura, occurs when your body's immune system destroys its own platelets, in the same way it would destroy harmful invaders such as bacteria. Platelets are important for helping the blood to clot and stop bleeding.9
Patients may experience bruising, nose bleeds, or bleeding gums when platelet counts are low.

Tubbs, a 6-3, 188-pound guard, will sit out the 2008-09 season by NCAA rule and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining in 2009-10 and 2010-11.
"We're excited that Justin has decided to join our program," Bartow said. "Our coaching staff thinks he has a bright future and can really help us. He's a very well-rounded student-athlete that has excelled in the classroom, and he's played at a very high level having spent two years playing in the
An Academic All-
"I'm really happy to be coming to ETSU," Tubbs. "The thing for me was the way I connected with the coaching staff. They did a good job of getting to know me and I felt like they had a plan for my future. Because I'll be a fourth year junior when I'm eligible next year, my goal is to just get more experience during practice and get better. Hopefully the fans will see an athletic player who really plays defense and can knocked down shots."
An accounting major, Tubbs was also All-Academic during his freshman season for the Crimson Tide and earned the team's 2007 "Hustle Award" for daily effort. He played in 28 of 32 games as a freshman, averaging 9.6 minutes and 3.2 points a game. He scored a career best 13 points against
In high school, Tubbs averaged more than 16 points and four rebounds during both his junior and senior campaigns, shooting better than 78 percent from the foul line and 45 percent from 3-point range.
Tubbs said academics are extremely important to him.
"I take my academics seriously," Tubbs said. "Anything can happen on any day, and I don't want to fall short in the classroom because unexpected things happen. I take care of that first and then play ball."
Tubbs will round out ETSU's 2008-09 recruiting class, joining center Seth Coy (Montgomery, Ind.), shooting guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis), forward J.C. Ward (Marietta, Ga.) and point guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa, Fla.). Tubbs is the only player of the group that is not a true freshman.

Contact us for information about using this image.
There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: This was a promotional photograph from the Edison Company film, "Ononko's Vow," which was filmed in Deerfield, Massachusetts, in March, 1910. In this scene, an Indian, Ungagook, is about to die. A member of a rescue party, he saved Jonathan Smith, a member of this Deerfield family, from death at the battle at Bloody Brook in September, 1675. He was there with his young son, Ononko. But just after he delivered Smith back home, a fatal wound, hidden from the viewer and family, brought him to the edge of death. Just before he expires, he has his son vow to protect the family, as pictured here. Of course, this was just a movie, and in typical movie fashion there were inaccuracies ranging from the comical to the offensive. The sensation it caused, though, may have been an inspiration for the July, 1910 and later Deerfield Pageants. The 1910 pageant, for example, used costumes very similar to those worn by the "Indians" in this movie.
