A few days back, Hari on FriendFeed had asked how one could get a a CAS number from a PubChem compound ID (CID). The reverse, that is finding a CID for a given CAS number is generally quite easy as shown by Rich here and here. Since I was trying to get some writing done, this was a good excuse for a quick hack to solve the problem.
At IU I maintain a partial mirror of PubChem, which stores the compound, substance, association and synonym data (and a partial dump of the bioassay data) in a PostgreSQL database, updated on a monthly schedule. For this problem, the synonym table contains two columns – CID and synonyms associated with a CID. For example, the synonyms for CID 2244 include aspirin, Acenterine, Salcetogen, 2-Acetoxybenzoic acid, Acetilum acidulatum and so on. In fact, 272 synonyms are listed for this CID.
Now, the PubChem synonym data contains CAS numbers for many of the CID's. The problem is that they are not marked as CAS numbers. In other words they're just plain text. However, CAS numbers do follow a specific format, best described using a regular expression
Thus resolving the CAS number for a given CID reduces to a SQL query to identify the synonyms for the CID and then identifying the synonym entries that match the above regular expression. Unfortunately PostgreSQL does not allow one to use POSIX regexes. Instead a slightly more verbose form has to be used:
SELECT synonym FROM pubchem_synonym WHERE
cid = '2244' AND
(synonym SIMILAR TO '__-__-_' OR
synonym SIMILAR TO '___-__-_' OR
synonym SIMILAR TO '____-__-_' OR
synonym SIMILAR TO '_____-__-_' OR
synonym SIMILAR TO '______-__-_' OR
synonym SIMILAR TO '_______-__-_');
Since the CID field has a hash index, getting the set of synonyms is very fast and so doing the regex match on a few tens or hundreds of entries is not too much of a problem.
Given the above SQL query, we can wrap it up in a mod_python script to provide a simple REST interface to this functionality:
Now, there are some caveats. Since we update our mirror once a month, we are a bit out of date from the real PubChem. Furthermore, as the link will show, aspirin appears to have multiple CAS numbers in PubChem and this problem has been discussed by Antony a number of times. Finally, given the fact that it might be possible that some arbitrary string matches the CAS regex, the code evaluates the checksum to ensure that the matched string is a valid CAS number (but of course, not necessarily a correct CAS number).

This Week In Pictures - 03/12/12
THE announcement that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first child has unsurprisingly dominated the news this week. The mother-to-be was treated in hospital for acute morning sickness, as the press camped outside, but left on Thursday to recover fully at St James' Palace. Meanwhile, in other baby news, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady welcomed their second child, daughter Vivian Lake.
Also this week, the 2012 Turner Prize winner was named as artist Elizabeth Price, while Claridge's unveiled its contemporary new Christmas tree, AllSaints unveiled a collaboration with Swarovski and Keira Knightley showed off a hidden talent on US television.
Heidi Klum kicked off the weekend in suitably dramatic style by hosting a very delayed Halloween party - and, as is tradition, didn't hold back when it came to her costume efforts. Also to have a busy weekend were Vogue cover girls Rihanna and Cheryl Cole, with the former holding a fragrance launch in LA and the latter a book signing in London.
Click through the gallery on the left to see the pictures we're all talking about this week.

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

Nordin Morgan About Me Artist Statement I share my birthplace with the Pharos of Egypt. My immigration to USA has been the underlying event which has defined my work for the past recent years. Most of my painting is figurative made in a spontaneous expressive manner. It also addresses identity, displacement, and reflects how the exterior reality affects the idea of who I am. Some might suggest relationship, story, or other significant moment in time. I have a strong sense of people�s presence. I feel that I recognize their face and read their movement on the stage of life... as if they were placed there just for my sake. They move so that I may depict their movement. They grant me the right to reduce their figures to lines,...

For John Lasseter, 'Planes' Gets Personal
As chief creative officer of three animation branches at Walt Disney Studios, John Lasseter has directed and overseen some of the biggest critical and commercial hits in the world of computer-animated film.
He has an unexpectedly close emotional tie to the coming movie "Planes."
Lasseter's films have won the Oscars, and earned some staggering profits. But Lasseter, 56, says what really drives him is making films that touch audiences. "That's my 100% focus," he said. "It comes from our own stories. It comes from our own hearts."
He helped conceive of Disney's new 3D, animated film "Planes," which is "inspired by the world of 'Cars'" and will be released Aug. 9. Set in the world of racing airplanes, "Planes" centers on Dusty (Dane Cook), a crop duster who dreams of becoming a highflying racer and competing in the international circuit.
In one poignant scene, Dusty is on an aircraft carrier (called the "USS Flysenhower") with his mentor Skipper, a reclusive veteran of WWII. Dusty struggles to understand the truth about Skipper's wartime experiences, which Skipper is loath to discuss – until he finally shares what happened, and there's a flashback to WWII.
"It was very important to me to get that right, because my father was on an aircraft carrier the entire time during WWII," Lasseter said.

History Libraries & Collections
At a time when libraries are working towards more collaborative forms of collection development and financial pressures increase, students and researchers need to be aware of collections which exist in a range of different libraries and how to obtain access to them.
This online guide is a successor to the printed 'Guide to History Libraries and Collections in London', edited by Ross Woollard and published by the University of London Research Library Services in association with the Committee of London Research Libraries in History, which was produced in print form until the 24th edition in 2009.
Providing a digital platform for the guide ensures library resources help underpin the aim of History Online to offer a comprehensive service for the history community in UK Higher Education and the profession more generally. It also means that the guide can continue to expand from its original purpose of providing information about the library resources of the federal University of London. Currently the focus is on libraries in London, both in the University and outside, but it is the intention to eventually make the database national in scope.
If you have amendments or suggestions, please contact Matthew Shaw, Librarian of the Institute of Historical Research, at email@example.com

text: This news item expired on 8/14/2011, so the information below could be outdated or incorrect. Standing Ovation Awards - January 2010 In 2003, the Western North Carolina Regional Air Quality Agency (WNCRAQA) began a recognition program to reward regulated entities who stay in compliance with federal, state and local air quality rules. In 2004, the program was expanded to further recognize local businesses and other organizations that have gone above and beyond air quality rules and regulations to implement voluntary, innovative programs that reduce air pollution in our region. We are pleased to announce the recipients of the eighth-annual Air Quality Standing Ovation Awards. This year, WNCRAQA is presenting the Standing Ovation award to Arvato Digital Services, LLC and APAC-Atlantic, Inc. Arvato Digital Services, LLC (Arvato), a media replication services facility, has made significant strides in pollution prevention and resource conservation as part of their Green initiatives program that includes multiple departments at their facility. Since 2008, they have reduced the amount of isopropyl alcohol (which accounts for the majority of their volatile organic compound emissions) by 40%. Acetone usage has been reduced by 23%. Arvato has an extensive recycling program; 86% of their waste materials are recycled, including food waste from their cafeteria. They have also reduced the amount of hazardous waste generated by 37%. Non hazardous waste has been reduced by 28%. Arvato staff members have made presentations to other local businesses in an effort to share best management practices regarding pollution prevention and waste reduction. APAC-Atlantic, Inc. (APAC) manufactures hot mix asphalt at three facilities in Buncombe County. APAC has made modifications to their Black Mountain plant to facilitate the production of a new product called warm mix asphalt. Warm mix asphalt uses technology to reduce heat input from the burner by 10 to 15%. The lower temperatures result in reduced visible emissions and odors from the silo and load out operations. Stack testing conducted on a similar APAC facility using this process in 2010 determined that particulate matter emissions are approximately 34% lower than those resulting from the manufacture of hot mix asphalt. APAC has the capability to produce both hot mix and warm mix asphalt and has been marketing the warm mix product to their customers, several of which have agreed to use the product, including NC DOT.

Endowment: Ensuring a Sustainable NRWA
For over forty years the Nashua River Watershed Association's supporters have played an essential role in helping to protect land and water, and also in providing opportunity for environmental education. How can today's donors be sure the programs and protection efforts they value continue in the future?
Endowments are critical to the sustainability of non-profit organizations. A substantial endowment enables an organization to plan on a steady stream of annual income for on-going work. Donations made to an endowment are permanently restricted; only their earnings can be distributed for the organization's use. Donors to endowment know that their funds are helping the organization in perpetuity.
The Nashua River Watershed Association has established an endowment fund for the Association at three of the community foundations that service our watershed communities: the Community Foundation of North Central Massachusetts, the Greater Lowell Community Foundation, and the New Hampshire Charitable Trust.

The original web developers of this site have been on hiatus, we're back and trying to breath new life into our old friend wolfweb.com
To be clear, we're just the code monkeys, we do not own wolfweb.com. The users own this site, they created it, not us. The admins, their friends, the general members did all the work and deserve all the credit. We code monkeys let the side down by just not being around to update and make sure the underbelly of the wolf was protected. Work pressure, closure and opening of development companies caused this to happen unfortunately.
Over recent times wolf numbers in the USA have slightly recovered and in some areas they have stepped back from the brink of annihilation and extinction. However with the new numbers of wolves, the ranchers, landholders and political entities have all stepped up their opposition to them, they are again hunting them. They want them removed from protection and have succeeded in doing that in some areas. This time in some cases the landholders are handed radio collar data so they can even see the wolves are coming and wait for them with loaded guns, sort of shooting wolves in a barrel. They need our help more than ever, we're back to step up to the plate for them and we'll swing wildly at every pitch until we connect. Please join us in our struggle, help us to protect the wild wolves and help them live their lives as nature intended.
To the new wolfweb.com:
Stage one is a new design, database restructure and new resources.
Stage two is promotion via twitter and facebook and other social media.
Our twitter account is wolfwebnews
facebook page is: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wolf-Web- ... 7435433668
Any help you can give would be great, mention us on twitter, re-tweet, follow, like us on facebook, send us information on wolves to put in the wolf info area, send us your original photos, artwork or just be active in the forums.
if you have any complaints or ideas let us know now while we're working on the site.
Thanks in advance
WW Web Developers

Apologies for the quality of the second photograph, was taken on my iPhone & to blow it up blog-size, the pixels went waaaah.
But I change my nails really quite frequently, because working in retail they chip within days! So I'm gonna start posting them a little more, as I never paint them particularly plainly. I just got a new double-ended dotting/brush tool for my nails, so I'm experimenting with that a bit too, hence the dots!
At the moment I'm trying to be really good with my money as I'm saving for a new car, but I'm having a little hiccup this evening as I've found a little goldmine of stuff I love on eBay. So i'll post a bit more about new purchases soon (:
Hope you're all good.

Sony NEX-6 : Tests and Reviews
Sony NEX-6 Review
Sony NEX-6: The compact hybrid synthesis
Even with a far less convoluted interface than the NEX-7's, the NEX-6 doesn't skimp on ergonomics and features, with its adjustable screen and its high-resolution OLED electronic viewfinder. The NEX-6 keeps the abundance of modes gracing recent Sony models, along with Full HD video recording in 50p, multi-shot Superior Auto mode, and as a bonus — WiFi.High-dynamic 16 Mpix sensorThe NEX-6 uses the well known and perfectly mastered 16-Mpix Exmor APS-C CMOS sensor that astonished the photo world with its dynamic range and high-sensitivity image quality, as confirmed by our tests on the NEX-5N and the SLT-A57,

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We've tested the image quality of the 24-Mpix Sony A6000 with over 23 zoom and prime lenses. Read on to find out which of those models perform best with Sony's current top-of-the-line APS-C mirrorless model.
We've analyzed the image quality of the 20-Mpix Sony A5000 with over 20 zooms and primes. Read on to find out which of those models you should be using with Sony's smallest and lightest mirrorless model.
We've analyzed the image quality of the 20-Mpix Sony A5000 with over 22 zooms and primes. Read on to find out which of those models you should be using with Sony's smallest and lightest mirrorless model.
The Sony Alpha A6000 is a revision of the earlier NEX-6 featuring a new 24-Mpix APS-C sensor and on-sensor phase-detection AF with improved coverage. Read on to find out how the new model performs.
Leica's latest addition to the range of APS-C X cameras adopts a 16-Mpix sensor and useful 28-70mm equivalent Vario-Elmar zoom. Read on to find out how well it performs.
With Sony dropping the NEX branding from their mirrorless models, adopting a 20-Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor in a small form factor the new Alpha a5000 appears to continue the NEX lineage. Read on to find out how well it performs.
Nikon's retro styled Df harks back to the days film externally, but the metal shell with its plethora of dials and buttons conceals a state-of-the-art 16-Mpix CMOS sensor intended for the worst imaginable lighting conditions. Read on to find out how this new addition to the range performs.
After the success of the NEX APS-C models, Sony has introduced the EVF-equipped 20-Mpix A3000 to compete with similar mirrorless models from Panasonic and Samsung. Read on to find out how this entry-level model performs.
Olympus always said the OM-D was a new line of cameras, and sure enough, after the delightful E-M5 the firm announced the flagship E-M1. With a new exterior design and a long-list of improvements over the E-M5, including a 16.3-Mpix Live MOS sensor with on-chip phase detection pixels, the E-M1 is being touted not as the replacement to the E-M5 but as the successor to the firm's Four-Thirds E-5 model. Read on to see how well the new camera performed after putting it through our labs.
The GX7 is Panasonic's classy replacement for the rangefinder style GX1 and features a new, improved 16-Mpix sensor, a tilting widescreen viewfinder and rear screen plus built-in WIFI connectivity. The magnesium alloy bodied camera is also the first from Panasonic to feature in-body stabilization, but just how well does this $999 (body only) mirrorless model perform

New terminal at JWA open
John Wayne Airport has officially opened Terminal C.
We love the seamless open-air design that mimics the existing terminal, the colorful "Flight of Ideas" floating sculpture by artist Beth Nybeck depicting aeronautical charts and wingspans of birds, and the art exhibits (especially "In Plane View" from the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum). And we appreciate the free Wi-Fi.
Yet what we're most excited will take several more weeks to open: New concessions will bring hungry travelers even better dining choices. Look out for the first runway view restaurant, the Anaheim Ducks Breakaway Bar & Grill, order a charbroiled burger at Carl's Jr., or a hot dog from Jerry's Wood Fired Dogs that has the first wood-fired grill in an airport.
Ruby's Diner will serve breakfast to burgers; and award-winning chef Zov Karamardian will offer contemporary Eastern Mediterranean foods at Zov's Bistro and Zov's Grab & Go. Javier's, a local phenom Mexican eatery, will open Javi's, which serves fresh seafood to premium beef, as well as specialty margaritas like cucumber, jalapeño and tamarindo.
The first Hobie Sand Bar, a surf culture-themed eatery, will serve breakfast classics to Hobie's Beach Road Tacos, including beef barbacoa, surfin' chipotle chicken, or mahi-mahi fish tacos. Fro-yo fans can get their fix at the soon-to-open Pinkberry.

CAMBRIDGE — Ask 50 local music fans for the meaning of the Rock 'n' Roll Rumble, the annual WZLX-sponsored battle of the bands, and you'll get 50 different answers. Ask any of the judges drawn from the New England music world on any of the nine nights of competition what makes for a winner, and the answers will run the gamut as well. That's both the appeal and the drawback of the contest: It's simultaneously a feel-good, community-engendering homecoming of sorts for the local music scene, and a divisive clash of opinions.
On paper, the criteria for choosing a winner are more clear. Bands are judged on songwriting innovation, on-stage musical effectiveness and showmanship, vocal prowess, pacing of the set, and a certain "it'' factor. One might make an argument that the winner should represent the most likely to succeed of this year's crop of bands, although it's been quite a few years since one went on to make a big splash on the larger national stage — the Dresden Dolls in 2003 being perhaps the best recent example.
Whether or not that will apply to the '60s-style cinematic-noir-rock of this year's winners, Eddie Japan, remains to be seen, but as in sports, the championship doesn't always go to the best in theory, it goes to who performed best in between the whistles. On Friday night at T.T. the Bear's, they were the clear standouts.
The night got off to an interesting start, with state Representative (and mayoral candidate) Martin J. Walsh warming up the crowd. "Who brought the suit?" one might have wondered. Walsh is the one behind the push to make the Modern Lovers' classic, "Roadrunner," the Massachusetts state song, after all, so at least his Boston rock taste checks out.
In what might be its first time following a politician onstage, the young four-piece Twin Berlin hurried through a set of aggressively delivered garage punk. The band — who seem poised for attention outside of the local scene, with memorable tracks like "Can't Take, Take, Take," power-chord-slashing pop, and Strokes-like guitar leads – nonetheless wrestled with a poor sound mix that swallowed all sense of nuance and flattened out their quiet-loud-quiet dynamics. "Who's drunk?" bassist Sean O'Neil said early on in the night, to few responses in the affirmative. "We don't stand a chance," he joked.
The wide-open, cleaner chords and professional polish of Glenn Yoder & the Western States came as a stark contrast. Americana-leaning songs like "Just Want You to Love Me" found the five-piece harnessing both the genre's mournful teardrop slides, as well as a rowdy bar-rock energy. "Younger Brother" had Yoder and company coming together with perfectly executed three part harmony, while "Pretty Little Girl" crescendoed into a rousing high point of guitar soloing. The crowd was rightfully impressed.
With the 20- and 30-something acts covered, the seasoned veterans of Eddie Japan — comprising frontman David Santos and an eight-piece band that included two backup singers and horns — completed the survey of the Rumble's sweeping generational demographic. Songs like the swaggering, guitar-noir of "This Married Life" made it hard not to feel swept up into the enthusiasm of the riveted crowd and the music itself. Sounding something like the house band of a Western B-movie, or a Tarantino soundtrack, the band's busy arrangements were executed deftly, with Santos's belting soaring over the mix. "A Town Called Nowhere" made a ghost-town gunslinger standoff sound like a party.
When asked just after their set if he thought they might win, Eddie Japan multi-instrumentalist Chris Barrett said, "No, but I didn't think we were going to win the other two nights either."Luke O'Neil can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tsarnaev's Lawyers Seek Trial Delay
Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev say they likely won't be ready for November's scheduled trial start.
Defense lawyers appearing in U.S. District Court in Boston on Thursday argued that prosecutors have given them massive amounts of evidence as part of the pre-trial discovery process that they now need to sort through. They intend to formally request a trial delay later this month.
Prosecutors say they simply complied with the defense's extremely broad document request.
Judge George O'Toole, meanwhile, gave prosecutors until next Thursday to file their response to the defense's latest arguments for seeking to move the trial out of Boston. Tsarnaev's lawyers want the proceedings moved to Washington, D.C. because they say Tsarnaev can't get a fair trial in Boston. Prosecutors oppose that motion.

After launching their basketball season at a central Pennsylvania tournament two weekends ago, the Mount St. Joseph Academy Magic dug right into their Catholic Academies schedule last week, winning home court contests over Villa Maria (34-31 on Tuesday) and Merion Mercy (50-26 on Thursday).
The Mount finished the week with Saturday's 49-16 road romp at Delco Christian Academy, raising its overall record to 5-0.
The early-season victory over Villa was particularly important, since the Hurricanes are always solid contenders for the AACA title and lost to the Magic on a buzzer-beater in the league finals last winter.
Last Tuesday's game wasn't decided until the final minutes, which didn't come as a surprise to fans of the two programs. After a field goal by MSJ junior Meg Geatens tied the bout at 28-all with just over two minutes remaining, Villa's Lisa Mirarchi hooped one of two free throws to give the Hurricanes their final lead of the evening.
Both teams were now in the double bonus, and after Mount guard Bridget Higgins drove in near the right baseline to deposit a lay-up, she hit two free throws to make it 32-29 with 40 seconds to go. Later, sophomore guard Alex Louin rounded out the Magic's total by sticking two foul shots with 12.3 ticks on the clock. A pair of Villa free throws with five seconds left locked in the final margin at three points.
Higgins had a game-high 16 points and junior Kelsey Jones and sophomore Carly Monzo added five points apiece for the winners, while the visitors were paced by Maddie McTigue, with eight points, and Mirarchi, with seven.
"Obviously, we put ourselves in a real nice position by defeating Villa Maria," Mount coach John Miller remarked. "I told the girls we want to take advantage of that, while still taking one game at a time."
Speaking of the pivotal role of Higgins, his senior point guard, the MSJ mentor noted "Bridget adds a lot of energy. I've been observing that the girls look to Bridget for leadership, and that's something that has emerged naturally. She's ready to lead our team."
By all indications the meeting with Merion two nights later would not be as challenging, but Miller had some words of caution for his charges.
"I did remind them that two years ago in this very same gym against Merion Mercy, the game went down to the wire, literally to the last play of the game. When it's a league game, you've got to be prepared for anything."
The Golden Bears actually had a chance to draw first blood with a pair of free throws in the opening minute, but both attempts failed and instead the visitors found themselves behind 10-0 with 2:51 to go in the initial period. A jumper from the foul line by Christina O'Shea got the Bears on the board, but the quarter concluded with the hosts ahead, 14-2.
Merion was more successful penetrating to the hoop in the second stanza, and was only outscored 11-9, making for a 25-11 halftime tally. MSJ's Higgins had acquired her second personal foul six minutes into the game, but Kelsey Jones came in to take over at the point. After missing much of last season with a knee injury, the junior appeared to be back in form.
"Kelsey takes care of the basketball for us and has a nice way of settling us down," Miller said. "She has a very good understanding of the game. Even when she's beside us on the bench, she's always pointing out things that are very accurate, yelling to the girls 'look for the double,' and so on."
The Magic reasserted themselves during a third quarter in which senior guard Maddie Kohler chalked up seven of her nine points for the night. Her classmate Cailin Schmeer was also dialed in for the third round, posting six of her eight points as she hit the Mount's first three field goals of the second half. The Magic went ahead 34-11 before the Bears scored their first points of the second half.
Louin was consistently productive during the engagement, splitting her team-high 12 points evenly between the halves and recording six steals and five rebounds.
Staurday's non-league rival, Delco Christian, proved considerably less formidable since the graduation of 6'3" Emily Homan, who is now playing at Lafayette College along with MSJ grad Sarah McGorry ('08). The Magic were up on the Knights 25-8 at halftime, and the gap kept growing despite the Mount's liberal use of its bench players.
A roll call of eight different Mount St. Joe scorers was led by Louin, with 13 points, and Higgins, with 10.

Just when you think you have heard the most outrageous utterances from our gun-aholics, they one-up themselves. Following is the twisted logic presented by Larry Ward, chairman of Gun Appreciation Day:
"I believe that gun appreciation day honors the legacy of Dr. King. First of all, we're looking for a peaceful protest, looking for people to come out and to remind the members of Congress and the president how we feel about our Second Amendment, and the truth is, I think Martin Luther King would agree with me if he were alive today that if African Americans had been given the right to keep and bear arms from day one of the country's founding, perhaps slavery might not have been a chapter in our history."
Did anyone tell this "chairman" that Martin Luther King is not alive today because he was assassinated with a firearm? No, he is not around to be boggled by this "chairman's" asinine assertion.

Liberty, Centra celebrate affiliation agreement for medical students
|From left, Chancellor and President Jerry Falwell, Jr.; Dr. Ronnie B. Martin, dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine; and Michael Bryant, president and CEO of Centra
Leaders of Lynchburg's two largest employers celebrated an agreement on Monday that will have a direct impact on the health and well-being of their community.
Liberty University's College of Osteopathic Medicine (LUCOM), which is seeking accreditation and is scheduled to open in Fall 2014, signed a five-year affiliation agreement last month that would secure clinical rotations at Centra facilities for third- and fourth-year students. Liberty hosted a special event to celebrate this affiliation at the Hancock Welcome Center, with school administrators and Centra's executive team in attendance.
Centra is a regional nonprofit healthcare system based in Lynchburg and serving more than 300,000 residents in 38 locations throughout Central and Southside Virginia.
"What a great day in the history of healthcare in Central Virginia," said Michael Bryant, president and CEO of Centra. "We are proud that Lynchburg's two largest institutions are collaborating to enhance the welfare of our friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Hopefully, this won't be a singular event or the last, that there are going to be many more opportunities for our missions to come together and we will collaborate in many more ways in the future, where both of us can leverage what God has given us so we can benefit Central Virginia and beyond."
Liberty Chancellor and President Jerry Falwell, Jr. said the new medical school "would not be nearly as successful without the help of Centra, without the commitment on Centra's part to take these students."
"Thank you and we look forward to a long and beneficial relationship," he said. "We are looking for ways now we can return the favor."
The agreement allows for about 80 students in Centra facilities each academic year, with Centra providing equipment, supplies, and support necessary for training, as well as assisting in selection of students and development of curriculum.
Dr. Ronnie B. Martin, dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, said the joint venture is about improving the quality of life for the community.
"The development of this visionary partnership between LUCOM and Centra is really not about a new building, it's not about a new healthcare system, it's not about an affiliation agreement or a contract. … It really all boils down to being about people. It's about the patients that we'll take care of, and the students and the healthcare professionals that will be impacted by what we're doing here today. It's really about improving the lives of people, access to healthcare, quality healthcare, preventative health care."
Construction continues on the 138,000-square-foot, four-story Center for Medical and Health Sciences on Liberty Mountain, overlooking main campus, that will house LUCOM and several departments in Liberty's School of Health Sciences. The $40 million facility will include a comprehensive medical clinic, extensive resource center and library, research center with multiple labs, and state-of-the-art simulation and standardized patient education facility.
Martin noted that Monday's celebration comes during National Osteopathic Medicine Week, a time to recognize the contributions made by more than 100,000 osteopathic physicians, residents, and students to our society today.
There are currently 29 osteopathic colleges, with 37 campuses in 28 states. Liberty will become the 30th, and the second in the state. The osteopathic medical profession, historically serving in rural and medically underserved settings, places a more prominent emphasis on a holistic, preventative health, patient-centered approach.
"With osteopathic physicians practicing in every discipline of medicine, they are major contributors to the health and welfare of the patients in the U.S. and across the globe," Martin said. "For more than 130 years, osteopathic physicians have built a tradition of bringing health care to where it is needed most."
He said Liberty is committed to excellence in service to "our fellow man and our country" in the same way it is committed to "the service and glory of God."
"The development of LUCOM is another way that LU is living that commitment," Martin said. "LUCOM will improve the lives of countless students, professionals, and patients through its efforts to provide medical education, research, and service, with an expressed goal of developing great physicians, individuals who become more than doctors and, rather, emulate Jesus as healers of men. In doing so, it will not only advance Liberty's mission of Training Champions for Christ, but will advance our mission of demonstrating the love and service expected of us as Christians."

I don't ask for too much out of my earbuds. I don't even mind when comfort trumps quality when I'm listening to my iPod or HiFiMAN portable device. If I wanted to focus purely on quality, I'd put on a set of on-ear headphones to transport me into musical bliss. But if I'm going for a walk, I'd rather not have anything weighing my head down.
Earbuds are funny though—you would think that manufacturers perhaps think the same way when it comes to comfort. Wrong. Just look at Apple's iconic white earbuds that come with every iPod. I can't tell you how many people tell me that they replace those right away, and that includes myself; one long walk wearing those and my ears feel like they've been pressed in a waffle iron.
I've also tested earbuds whose bulbous design carried so much heft to them that unless I jammed them seemingly into my brain, they would keep falling out of my ear if I was out walking at even a semi-brisk pace. I don't have too many bigger pet peeves during a walk than having to continually paw at my head making sure my earbuds aren't about to fall out.
So when British manufacturer RHA sent me its MA-350 earbuds for an evaluation, the first thing that struck me was how utterly comfortable they are. They provide a sort of invisible-like quality, with which you barely notice they are even in your ears though they surely are working effectively.
My wife uses our iPod touch during exercise, so comfort and sturdiness in earbuds are critical. She confirmed my initial response by saying the MA-350s were the most comfortable earbuds she'd ever used, "and you know how picky I am about them."
In terms of features, RHA says the earphones employ "the aerophonic design of a trumpet's bell … clean, simple lines and aluminum finish" among its attributes. The aluminum gives the finish just enough oomph to keep the buds in place, and the "soft silicone tips" live up to their billing. I used them for nearly three hours straight on a train ride, and no part of my ear felt bad after the trip.
Speaking of which, RHA also notes the earphones' noise-isolating design, which was evident during the train ride as well. As soon as I plugged in, the background noise was very muted, and PA announcements and even whistle blows were barely audible. No, not on par with over-ear headphones, but certainly respectably efficient for $40 earbuds.
Don't let the price on these fool you, either. Performance and build quality are very good. Apart from the aforementioned comfort, I also liked the fabric cable braiding as opposed to the usual plastic wrapping that earbud cords ordinarily employ. The fabric is much easier to untangle, and for my money I would go so far as to call it trickle-down technology from quality speaker-wire manufacturers—think about it, how many high-end speaker cables do you see sheathed in plastic? I've been using Clarus cables in my home system, and like other high-performance manufacturers they use fabric among the fine build quality.
In terms of performance, the MA-350s are solid, especially for the price. While listening to them with an iPod touch, I found that they really delivered a nice, neutral, crisp presentation that wasn't overly boomy like some earbuds or lean like others. Sonics came across at a good compromise, somewhere in the middle, which allowed for plenty of detail on both the low and high frequencies.
Several tracks by Jack Johnson emphasized the MA-350s' balanced and sharp delivery. Johnson begins many of his songs with a quiet opening passage before some drums and bass kick into the usual acoustic strumming. Each time, the earbuds provided a good amount of thump to make an impact, while not overpowering Johnson's gentle vocal style. I also felt that acoustic guitar plucking, whether it was Johnson or on albums such as Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, resonated really well through the MA-350s as you could hear every little thwang of the strings.
The dynamics of the MA-350s I thought were nicely revealed while listening to Genesis' epic Lamb Lies Down on Broadway on the iPod, despite playback at 128 MP3 (most of my iPod listening is in MP3 at 128 or 320 kbps). RHA lists the frequency range at 16-22,000Hz and the earphones handled the Lamb quite well, with all of its shifts from quiet interludes like "The Lamia" to the heavy growling of "Back in NYC" and more. The swirling energy of this album and all of its deeply textured composition came across superbly, and the rich reproduction of the percussion and keyboards from Phil Collins and Anthony Banks throughout made for a vibrant earful of sound.
Combined with their comfort and their build quality, the MA-350s are an astounding value if you're looking for a boost in earbuds performance. Sonics are full and lifelike, and the overall package delivers an enjoyable listening experience that is fatigue free, whether you're out for a half-hour walk or settling in for a cross-country plane ride.

I have given you 2 sources. You have given none. The Widsom library site you gave provided the definition of the word 'parikuppa' which either translated as 'agony' (Ven. T.) or 'festering' (Woodward). Since it's a website that gives just a definition, tell me the exact source and the author who translated it please.Bluelotus wrote:
By backup literature do you mean commentaries of some modern-day scholar monk? If so who cares? Ven T is yet another scholar who has given his own interpretation to the sutta. The sutta alone makes no vivid claim on an after-life hell. If you think it does, quote it.
What other sources? You have shown none so far. I've shown you two already and they both agree with each other. Your claim about Ven. T that he simply "given his own interpretation" is flat out wrong..Bluelotus wrote:
No mention of "incurable" there. I hear metta.lk has similar translation but I have not been able to find the sutta there. You have come up with some translators who agree with Ven T. Are you saying other sources are all wrong while only the sources you want to believe are right?

An Anglo-Irish wedding dinner in Brussels
Here is the third installment of my 2006 wedding reports. Earlier this summer, I went to a wedding in Greece and then in Sweden. Just under a month ago, my English friend Helen and her Irish fiance David, whom I met during my first year in Edinburgh (i.e. in 1998-1999), finally took the step into marital bliss after almost 10 years together. Or, as the Best Man said at the wedding, David finally made an honest woman out of Helen:) They have been living and working in Brussels, Belgium, since completing their postgraduate degrees in Edinburgh, and therefore decided to get married in Brussels, too.
I've mentioned Helen on my blog before. She was the first person to tell me about celiac disease. I had never heard of gluten intolerance before, and Helen gave me a crash course in what she can eat and what she cannot. In late 1990s, I was still more of a baker than a cook, and realising I cannot bake my favourite cakes for my new friend (yes, that included my Canadian apple cake) was frustrating. I had to think of flourless cakes to bake, but that's how a rather nice and rich whisky & chocolate roly-poly found a way to my kitchen, so I'm not complaining. I also had to learn how to look for traces of gluten in the unlikeliest places - most soy sauces, for example, are out of the question. I remember being surprised that Helen had to go to pharmacy to pick up her special gluten-free pasta, and she had to consult a little book to see which potato crisps were acceptable and which not.
Anyway, back to the wedding. Helen and David had a civil ceremony, which took place at their local commune, Maison Communale de Saint Gilles. This was followed by dinner & dancing at L'Abbaye de Nizelles (above), a lovely mansion a short drive from Brussels. And the food was delicious. Here's what we had:
We started with Ballotin de sole et homard à la nage - a lovely sole and lobster dish:
This was followed by Magret de canard au miel d'acacia, sauce vinaigre de framboises:
Finally, we had a pudding suitable for a gluten-free diet, Vacherin glacé, fruits frais et coulis de fruits de l'été:
And later on, after some coffees, more drinks, and lots of dancing, we were served a festive cheese course (photo above).
Definitely a night to remember. Thank you, Helen and David, for inviting me, and Rob and Mig for hosting me!

wow! an exploding cheese wedding 'cake'.
that's an amazing idea.
And not suprising they used their imagination to come up with something unique since traditional British wedding cake is so hokey, usually.

Roxy, it was a lovely occasion, and the couple looked very much in love (just like they did back in 98-99!)
Kat - indeed!
Sam - thanks for commenting, and yes, a frozen wedding cake was different and really refreshing. And I really-really loved the tiered cheese "cake"!
Johanna - as I said, should I ever need a wedding caterer, I know whom to call:)
Paz - it was indeed.

This may seem very random but I was doing a google search for caterers and Abbaye de Nizelles and one of the results was your blog about a wedding you went to there! I am getting married there next year and am in the process of trying to find caterers. I was wondering if you happened to know or were able to find out who the cateres were (as the food looks lovely!) as I really want to get it right as the food is one of the most important parts of the day! Apologies if you think this a very random comment on your blog when I don't even know you but any help would be much appreciated...!
Many thanks.

Hi there,
Pille forwarded me your message. I can happily recommend the caterer we used, last August. It was Marc Houbart

He was fantastic! Enjoy your preparations, we loved the Abbaye de Nizelles!
- 8:40 pm, October 22, 2007
thank you so much for your help, his name was actually already on my list so just nice to have the reassurance that he is good! Thanks again.

YAs and Parent
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
How does the health care reform affect how long I can stay on my parent�s insurance? I am in college, but probably have to drop out this semester cause the chemo is kicking my butt. Really worried about losing coverage- I know my parents are really stressed about it.
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
Some health insurance changes went into effect on September 23, 2010 that relates to your question and other young adult issues. Young adults can be covered on their parent�s insurance plan up to their 26th birthday, regardless of whether or not they are students (they can even be married!). There are some restrictions, so check out the links below for more information and talk to the HR representative at the company that is providing the insurance.
Kairol Rosenthal, author of Everything Changes, the Insider�s Guide to Cancer in Your 20�s and 30�s, discusses some of the changes on her blog.

Fend off pesky winter colds by stocking your fridge with these 10 immune boosting foods and mixing them into your favorite Asian recipes.
1. Tomatoes
According to an American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study, a tomato-rich diet can protect infection-fighting white blood cells from being damaged by free radicals, as the lycopene in the fruit acts as an antioxidant. Get your fill of tomatoes in Nam Phrik Num (Chili and Tomato Dip), a Thai salsa that's delicious on top of meats or fish.
2. Red Bell Pepper
We tend to think of oranges as being the biggest sources of vitamin C, but on a per gram basis, red bell peppers have twice the C of citrus fruits. Enjoy them in Domi Jjim (Steamed Red Snapper), a beautiful dish that's packed with other immunity-boosting ingredients like fish, garlic, and carrots.
3. Sweet Potatoes
Orange veggies, like sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash, are rich in beta-carotene , which the body converts to vitamin A and uses to keep your skin—your body's first line of defense against viruses and bacteria—healthy and strong. Try sweet potatoes in Banh Tom (Shrimp Fritters with Sweet Potato).
4. Olive, Sesame, or Nut Oil
According to research from Iowa State University, the body requires some dietary fat to help absorb the immunity-boosting antioxidants found in vegetables. For a healthy mix of olive and sesame oils, drizzle Korean Salad Dressing over any type of greens.
5. Oysters
Shellfish, like oysters, lobster, crab, and clams, contains selenium, which helps white blood cells make virus-fighting proteins called cytokines. And oysters come with a bonus: They are also rich in the mineral zinc, which has antiviral properties. Enjoy oysters in Moo Gul Bap (Radish Oyster Rice), a warming Korean dish that's perfect for fall and winter months.
6. Garlic
Garlic contains a compound called allicin, which has been shown to fight infections and bacteria. Toss garlic into Kung Krathiam Phrik Thai (Garlic Pepper Shrimp), a quick and easy Thai dish that requires only a handful of ingredients.
7. Yogurt
The "live and active cultures" (also known as probiotics) that are found in yogurt can help keep disease-causing germs out of the intestinal tract. Enjoy yogurt in a sweet and refreshing Matcha Smoothie.
8. Cabbage
Found in the red pulpy flesh near the cabbage rind, glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that is known to help strengthen the immune system. Try red cabbage in Asian Slaw with Sriracha, a spicy, tangy side dish.
9. Tea
A hot cup of tea isn't just comforting when you're not feeling your best. Black and green teas contain an amino acid called l-theanine as well as other plant antioxidants that have been shown to boost immunity. Try this very simple cold-brewed Iced Green Tea recipe and don't be shy about drinking several cups per day.
10. Turmeric
Used in traditional Chinese medicine, turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which has powerful cold and flu fighting properties. You'll find turmeric in many curry recipes, including Simple Chicken Curry.

Questions and Answers: Cooperating against VAT Fraud
See also IP/14/121
What is the scale of VAT fraud in the EU? What is the scale of cross-border VAT fraud by operators in third countries?
In November 2013 the Commission published a report on the VAT gap in Europe. This estimated that the difference in the amount of VAT anticipated by Member States, and the amount actually collected, was €193 billion, or 1.5% of GDP. This amounts to 18% of theoretical VAT (i.e. all expected revenue). The VAT gap is not only due to fraud and evasion, but also to legal tax avoidance, bankruptcies, financial insolvencies and miscalculations. Nonetheless, VAT fraud is estimated to comprise a significant amount of the overall figure.
It is not possible to extrapolate from the VAT Gap figures how much relates to fraud in transactions carried out with non-EU operators. However, Member States' experience has shown that VAT fraud schemes often are set up with counterparts located in third countries. In addition, the risk of VAT fraud or evasion is deemed to be particularly high in e-commerce activities, since the identification of suppliers, customers and the place of supply is much more difficult to determine than in traditional transactions. E-commerce (good and services) is increasingly important to the EU and international economies, with revenue in this sector reaching USD 680 billion worldwide in 2011, and increasing by up to 18.9% per annum. This type of commerce is characterised by innumerable B2C supplies, with mini transactions and maxi profits, where both the supplier and the customers are often difficult to identify. This makes it susceptible to VAT fraud, especially as there are no specific controls or tools for the exchange of information with third countries.
How do EU Member States cooperate against VAT fraud?
As general rule, within the EU, taxation takes place where the customer is established. Therefore, when a customer receives goods or services from abroad and fails to report these purchases, the tax administration where they are based needs to ask the Member State where the supplier is established for information. This helps to assess the correct amount of VAT due on the purchase.
EU rules (Regulation EU 904/2010) set down a number of tools for Member States to cooperate with each other on VAT collection and tackling fraud, including:
Why does the Commission want to start negotiating with Russia and Norway on VAT cooperation agreements?
Unlike many third countries, Norway and Russia have a similar VAT system to the EU. As neighbouring countries, Norway and Russia have already participated in multilateral controls or have attended Eurofisc (VAT observatory) meetings as observers. However, tax officials who have been cooperating with the tax administrations of these countries have signalled the need for an EU agreement on administrative cooperation in the field of VAT, in order to exchange information and to assess VAT liabilities more effectively. National authorities, tax auditors and Eurofisc officials would benefit from tools which formally allow cooperation with Russia and Norway on a permanent basis.
Does the EU have VAT administrative cooperation agreements with any other countries?
Currently, the EU does not have VAT administrative cooperation agreements with any other countries. With Switzerland, the EU has an agreement to counter fraud and all other illegal activities affecting their financial interests, which covers VAT too. Contacts have been established with Canada, China and Turkey on this issue, given that they are amongst the EU's main commercial partners. Furthermore, even though US consumption taxation is based on a system of sales taxes, the Commission believes a dialogue with the USA to improve EU-US cooperation in fighting fraud in the field of VAT/sale taxes would also be very useful.
How would agreements with Russia and Norway help to prevent VAT fraud?
Companies established outside the EU which supply telecommunication, broadcasting and electronic services to consumers in a Member States should charge VAT in the Member State where the consumers enjoy the service. Since these kind of transactions are not subject to customs controls, it is very easy for non-EU companies to avoid declaring their supplies in Europe. This is a problem that works both ways: companies could declare in Norway or Russia that they are supplying services to the EU while, in reality, the customers could actually be established within those countries themselves. In which case, those services should be subject to VAT in their own country. An EU agreement with Russia and Norway would allow tools like multilateral controls or Eurofisc to be used to optimal effect, in order to establish the right place of supply and amount of VAT due for these kinds of transactions.

Marketers including AT&T are getting schooled on the fact that jumping in on the social conversation around national tragedies is not the safest arena for real-time marketing.
A handful of brands are being smacked around today for posting 9/11 commemoration tweets perceived as inane at best and insensitive at worst.
AT&T received the brunt of the outrage after tweeting a picture of the beams of light shooting up from the Twin Towers site, captured in the screen of a phone that's poised to take a photo, with the text "Never Forget."
The tweet was promptly removed, and AT&T issued an apology:
We apologize to anyone who felt our post was in poor taste. The image was solely meant to pay respect to those affected by the 9/11 tragedy.— AT&T (@ATT) September 11, 2013
While AT&T's post was the most overt as an ad, plenty of other brands -- including Waffle House, Huggies, Red Lobster, Macy's, Walgreens and White Castle, as chronicled in a series of retweets by comedian Joe Mande -- offered up sentiments of remembrance on the 12-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
We will always remember. http://t.co/bQs2LH4WCP— Walgreens (@Walgreens) September 11, 2013
Hug your family. Reflect on the sunset. Look forward to the sunrise. Hold your head high. Imagine a better world. And #NeverForget 9/11/2001— Macy's (@Macys) September 11, 2013
The Los Angeles Lakers, for one, seemed to realize they were treading on thin ice. The team posted a photo of Kobe Bryant with the hashtag #NeverForget superimposed, but quickly deleted it.
While the other 9/11-related tweets from brands didn't provoke the same negative reaction as AT&T's, they still walk a fine line in terms of relevance, according to David Berkowitz, CMO of MRY. While it would be fitting for a health care company that treats 9/11 first responders or a brand that actively runs scholarships for the children of the deceased to weigh in, trivialities like #NeverForget seem tone-deaf, he said.
"Unless you're bringing something of value, the easy thing is just to keep your mouth shut," he said.
On the other hand, brands' social channels are run by humans, and users of those products have come to expect humanity, according to Adam Kleinberg, CEO of Traction. He said that a simple "we remember" like Shutterfly posted to Twitter strikes the right chord.
Remembering 9/11. We will never forget.— Shutterfly (@Shutterfly) September 11, 2013
"Where AT&T blew it was in being too clever and self-aggrandizing," he said.

On potentially losing his starting spot:
"The coaches have just said they're going to try people at different spots in case a guy up front goes down. We don't want to send somebody in there who doesn't know what they're doing. We don't know what's going on right now. I kind of got over it – if I'm the starter come game day, that's fine."
On how a stinger injury last week cost him:
"The injury just kind of set me back. It put me in the back, not all the way in the bottom, but coaches had to sort of take precautionary measures. They had to stick somebody else in there."
On not getting to play on Saturday because of the fires:
"We'd be pretty fierce if we didn't get to play Saturday. We wouldn't have it. We'd be pissed, practicing all summer, real hard, getting ready for a team we know nothing about. Everybody would be pretty much heated. We'd be waiting for the next game, definitely."

A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. It is possible to develop MDS with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing MDS. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your chance of MDS.
Factors that may increase your risk of MDS include:
- Age—MDS is most common in people aged 65 years and older.
- Gender—MDS most often occurs in men. However, a type of MDS associated with a missing chromosome (5q) is more common in women.
Genetic defects—Certain inherited diseases carry a higher risk of MDS development. Examples include:
- Down syndrome
- Fanconi anemia
- Neurofibromatosis type 1
Occupational or environmental exposures
- Working in the petroleum, rubber, and agriculture industries, and exposure to certain chemical solvents, are associated with MDS.
- Radiation from a nuclear bomb fallout increases the risk of many blood-related cancers, including MDS.
- Radiation therapy, especially in combination with chemotherapy, is associated with with an increased risk of secondary MDS (MDS with a specific cause).
- Lifetime exposure to radiation from medical and dental procedures may increase risk, but some tests and treatments may not be avoidable. Ask your doctor about any planned radiation exposure to determine if it is necessary.
- Chemotherapy—Certain chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer increase the risk of secondary MDS. This is especially true in people who have a history of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) during childhood.

Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Mac.
Eventlet is a concurrent networking library for Python that allows you to change how you run your code, not how you write it.
It uses epoll or libevent for highly scalable non-blocking I/O. Coroutines ensure that the developer uses a blocking style of programming that is similar to threading, but provide the benefits of non-blocking I/O. The event dispatch is implicit, which means you can easily use Eventlet from the Python interpreter, or as a small part of a larger application.
It's easy to get started using Eventlet, and easy to convert existing applications to use it. Start off by looking at the examples, common design patterns, and the list of basic API primitives.
Quick Example
Here's something you can try right on the command line:
% python >>> import eventlet >>> from eventlet.green import urllib2 >>> gt = eventlet.spawn(urllib2.urlopen, 'http://eventlet.net') >>> gt2 = eventlet.spawn(urllib2.urlopen, 'http://secondlife.com') >>> gt2.wait() >>> gt.wait()
Getting Eventlet
The easiest way to get Eventlet is to use easy_install or pip:
easy_install eventlet pip install eventlet
The development tip is available via easy_install as well:
easy_install 'eventlet==dev' pip install 'eventlet==dev'
Building the Docs Locally
To build a complete set of HTML documentation, you must have Sphinx, which can be found at http://sphinx.pocoo.org/ (or installed with easy_install sphinx)
cd doc make html
The built html files can be found in doc/_build/html afterward.

With another major spike in the NFL's salary cap, up about $12 million to $155.27 million, the spending spree that is free agency begins Wednesday.
Some teams that open up their vaults have prospered recently, most notably the Broncos. Denver won its third Super Bowl thanks to massive boosts from DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib, Emmanuel Sanders and Owen Daniels. Oh, and that quarterback, Peyton Manning.
All were acquired through free agency.
Of course, the Broncos spent wisely. Other teams have traveled down the road to ruin for giving the big bucks to the wrong players. Such 2015 big-time free agents Ndamukong Suh, DeMarco Murray and Julius Thomas hardly made a positive...

Troy Aikman didn't discuss Skip Bayless on Wednesday when he participated on a conference call to preview the start of the NFL season on Fox.
But the former Cowboys quarterback did discuss the importance of bathrooms inside or near a TV booth.
Aikman, who will again work with Joe Buck and Erin Andrews as Fox's lead NFL team — they have the Giants at the Cowboys at 4:25 p.m. Sunday — was asked about working Super Bowl LI (that's 51) in Houston on Feb. 5.
He said NRG Stadium was fine and all, but what Aikman was particularly pleased about was the proximity of the urinals and toilets in Houston.
"The booth is good and you can see the field well," Aikman...

Selena Gomez Covers Lorde's 'Royals' + Releases 'Slow Down' Lyric Video
Selena Gomez is a busy girl. She kicked off her 'Stars Dance' tour, covered a very hip track by a 16-year-old songstress name Lorde and dropped a fun and frenetic lyric video for her new single 'Slow Down.' Never a dull moment in Sel's world.
The full audio of the cover of the sensual and sultry song 'Royals' by Lorde is here.
But you can check out a snippet below, as well. Sel certainly has good taste in music, since this song is buzzing. Lorde, who reminds us of a younger and sassier Adele, will drop her debut 'Pure Heroine' in late September. But Gomez really does handle the song with grace and class.

So the June Media Metrix stats hit this past week (see subset here - Download June ComScore Engagement Report), and we're thrilled to announce that Meez.com is now the #1 US Internet site measured by engagement, meaning how long an average visit lasts, in this case an amazing 36.4 minutes. In addition, Meez is #4 in total engagement, measuring total minutes per visitor per month, showing that we're seeing lots of repeat visits as well. As I pointed out 5 months ago here, this means that Meez engagement has grown from 100 minutes a month per visitor in July 08, to 184 minutes in January 09, to an astonishing 227 minutes in June 09, and we're still going strong.
The end result is that we're seeing increasing numbers of users spending longer amounts of time in the Meez Nation virtual world, driving great rich media advertising results and rapidly growing virtual item sales. After a very tough slog in the past 6-9 months through brutal economic times, the team has driven the site to #1 in engagement, as well as to cash flow profitability, and now it's time to focus on growth to expand our leadership position in US teenagers.

The Ghost and Mrs. McClure
Penelope McClure is a young widow who leaves the high-powered world of New York publishing for her small hometown, where her aunt needs help reviving the family business, a bookstore. Little does anyone know that the ghost of a 1949 murder victim resides in the building, but it is well known that the private eye Jack Shephard was killed there. Penelope discovers the ghost because of her surprising, and initially disturbing, ability to converse with him...
The Ghost and the Dead Deb
Mrs. McClure, a co-owner of the "Buy the Book" bookshop, is out to solve a crime when an author of a unsolved mystery gets killed. With the help of the ghost PI Jack Shepard who is more like Philip Marlowe, Mrs. Clure does find the answers. The banter that goes on beween Mrs. Mc Clure and the ghost Jack Shepard are with light humor. ...
