Out with the old, in with the new.
When ABC's Body of Proof kicks off its revamped third season Tuesday, Feb. 19 (10/9, ABC), many of the show's key players won't be returning (RIP, Peter!). But one previously unseen figure from medical examiner Megan Hunt's (Dana Delany) past will be.
Enter Detective Tommy Sullivan (Mark Valley), an ex of Megan's who has recently transferred from the NYPD to her Philadelphia detail for reasons that don't appear to be entirely professional in nature. Picking up months after the Season 2 finale, the premiere finds Megan returning to work after a sabbatical — and suffice it to say, she's not exactly welcoming Tommy back into her life with open arms.
Body of Proof and other returning winter shows: Where we left off
Valley isn't the only new cast member joining the show. Game of Thrones' Elyes Gabel has also signed on to play cocky Detective Adam Schaeffer, who no doubt will butt heads with Megan at least once or twice.
Watch Megan get a very unwelcome blast from her past in this exclusive clip from the Season 3 premiere:
Season 3 of Body of Proof gets underway Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 10/9c on ABC.

MAPUTO, Mozambique — The United Nations says the death toll from the flooding in Mozambique has risen by seven to at least 55 people.
The United Nations said Thursday that heavy rains in northern and central Mozambique have displaced 19,000 more people, raising the total number of displaced by floods the past two weeks to nearly 170,000.
The Mozambican government said there is a shortage of food for flood victims in southern Mozambique. Luis Nhala, a health official, said that residents are eating food that has mixed with contaminated flood water, which is resulting in cases of diarrhea and vomiting.
Mozambican state television showed children in need of food and water.
One man held an empty plate and told the camera: "Look, we are starving. The government must do something."

The Brewery
In 1987, the Calistoga Inn gave birth to Calistoga beer and the Napa Valley Brewing Company. The Inn was the first establishment to brew beer commercially in Napa County since the days of prohibition. It brews four principle beers: Calistoga Wheat Ale, Pilsner, Red Ale & Porter. In addition, other seasonal beers are brewed throughout the year, such as the German Kölsch, Blitzen I.P.A., Belgian Pale Ale & Dugan Oatmeal Stout.
100% percent of the brewery's production is served at the Calistoga Inn. We also sell 22 ounce bottles, which are all hand filled. We have a 7-barrel gas fired brewhouse that was originally designed by Dr. Michael Lewis of UC Davis. Our current total annual production is about 450 barrels. After long hours of wine tasting, there's nothing like a cold beer on the patio of the Calistoga Inn.
Over the years we have won numerous awards for our beer, including both bronze and gold finishes at the Great American Beer Fest in Denver, Colorado, and blue ribbons at the California State Fair.
The Calistoga Inn has two bars where guests can taste the different beers. Visit our new air-conditioned Pub & our Patio Bar.
Brewery tours are available Monday - Friday with our brewmaster, Shawn Seidel. Please call in advance for an appointment: 707-942-4101

I ask that we (the community) refrain from talking about other members not registered here at TLN, which includes banned members. It may not be in our guidelines, but it's my request that you do not personally attack anyone from outside of this board.
This also includes the staff, as well as all non-staff members.
It's true that a great deal of AM570 board members were banned. It's also accurate to say that a lot of them are still here and have no problem posting at TLN as part of our ever-growing community. Our focus here is to step on the problems before they cause significant damage to our community. We give our warnings, we give our suspensions, and we give our bans...and not in any order, but as we see fit.
At the end of the day, it's the fans we want to protect...from personal attacks, mockery, and excessive baiting. We want to make sure your time here at TLN is a time well spent, sharing knowledge of the Lakers and the game of basketball, forming opinions and producing facts, not fighting off redundant insults and radical members.
Our ages span anywhere from 13-40+ on TLN, and I am fully confident that we can muster up enough maturity to do this, mainly for the sake of the site and message board. Among us and the other two great Lakers message board communities (Clublakers and LakersGround), we still share a common interest, and that's basketball. Drifting away from that and leaning on conflict to stir up discussion is only going to irritate what we have going for us at this time, and that's the last thing we should all want to do as registered members here on the site.
Thanks to all that comply with this.

Los Angeles Clippers Clinch First Playoff Spot Since 2006 — Weekly NBA Roundup [VIDEO]
Teams are fighting it out to make the NBA playoff field, as the season is down to its final 10 days. Here's what's happening in the NBA this week:
Team on the Rise: Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers (38-23) clinched the franchise's first playoff berth in six years by beating the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder, 92-77, on Monday night. The victory was the Clippers' eighth in 10 games and kept them within 1.5 games of the crosstown rival Lakers in the Pacific Division race. It seems as though the preseason acquisition of point guard Chris Paul and the continued emergence of superstar forward Blake Griffin has helped the Clippers franchise move past its failed past, for this year at least. Los Angeles will need bench players like Kenyon Martin and Nick Young to step up if it intends to go deep into the playoffs.
Team on the Decline: Orlando Magic
After clinching a playoff spot Sunday night, Orlando (36-25) beat Philadelphia, 113-100, on Monday. However, the loss of centers Dwight Howard (herniated disc) and Glen Davis (sprained knee) to injury within the past week has to make Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy concerned about his team's chances in the playoffs. Already without forward Hedo Turkoglu (facial fracture), Orlando could be severely limited in a first-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers or Miami Heat if at least one of the injured big men don't return. Guards Jameer Nelson and J.J. Redick are picking up their scoring pace, but they can't help with interior defense.
Play of the Week: Kevin Durant to Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are two of the NBA's best players. They show plenty of sizzle with their substance on this transition play against Sacramento on Friday night.
Player on the Rise: Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
After plodding through a middling first half of the season, Boston (36-25) has secured a playoff spot and is headed toward the Atlantic Division title. Some of the thanks can go to the improved play of center Kevin Garnett, who averaged 20.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in four games for the Celtics last week. Garnett had three double-doubles, including a 21-point, 12-rebound game against New Jersey on Saturday. The veteran center must be at his best if Boston wants to realize its NBA title hopes.
Player on the Decline: Grant Hill, Phoenix Suns
After putting together a productive season at age 39, Grant Hill has missed all but two of the Suns' games since March 25, as he recovered from a knee injury. Phoenix (32-29) is currently tied with Houston for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Suns need Hill to provide minutes down the stretch to help close out games. If Hill's knee can't withstand back-to-back games, it's hard to imagine this once-great player being a factor even if the Suns do make the postseason.
Coach on the Hot Seat: Paul Silas, Charlotte Bobcats
New Orleans beat Charlotte, 75-67, on Monday to hand the Bobcats their 17th straight loss, which clinched the NBA's worst record for Paul Silas' team. Charlotte (7-53) needs one more win to avoid setting the all-time NBA record for lowest winning percentage in a season, currently held by the 9-73 Philadelphia 76ers of 1972-73. Even if Kentucky's Anthony Davis is destined for the Charlotte roster next year via the NBA lottery, Silas may not be back to coach if he can't guide his team to at least one more win in 2012.
Bizarre Stat of the Week: New Orleans Hornets
During an 88-75 win over playoff-bound Memphis on Sunday, New Orleans (19-42) scored just 33 points in the first half, but rallied for 55 in the second for one of their most impressive victories of the season.

Twenty years ago, HSRT veterans David Colacci and Susan Ericksen followed their spring wedding in Saugatuck with a summer performing this beloved musical. Now we join them in celebrating their anniversary this summer with a second honeymoon, as they revisit this jaunt through a married life from a new perspective.

Robb (Nora Roberts.), and has earned an Audie award for Origin in Death, as well as Earphone Awards.

In this case, that's not a problem. The box uses RTS going asserted and then deasserted to bring it up out of sleep mode. If nothing happens after that, it just goes back to sleep. So wild fluctations won't cause any problems. But you're right. I have a USB->parallel interface that has just that problem, and in that particular case, there are "bad things" that can happen (mind you the same problem exists with a hardware parallel port, because the BIOS goes out and does a reset). In that case, the external box doesn't get power applied until the PC is up and running. Jim

- From the Eclipse Bylaws section 7.2: "responsible for the development, articulation, and maintenance of the Eclipse Platform Architecture" (as defined in the then current Eclipse Development Process).
- From the Development Process: "... and ensuring the Principles of the Development Process through mentorship."
The EAC is responsible for the long-term technical health of the Eclipse platforms and frameworks. It involves itself in inter- and intra-project architecture and open source process through discussion during its meetings, mentoring and consultation. The AC is involved in both technical and process aspects because the social and process structure of a project has been shown to have a direct impact on the technical quality of its extensible frameworks and exemplary tools. See also Darin Swanson's Blog about the EAC. This role for the Architecture Council represents a new (revitalized?) role for the Architecture Council and thus there is not a lot of history to build on. The Council will be as effective and useful as we make it. Here is a recent presentation (PDF, 120K) about what the AC is and what it does in practice.
- Architecture Council/Membership Qualifications for members, and how to become a member
- The councils page has the official members list
- The Members and Mentors includes information about dormant members and proposed mentors of new projects
Discussions and Recommendations
- Top Ten Recommendations for Architecture (work in progress)
- Top Ten Process Practices (work in progress)
- Things Committers Should Know
- Development Resources, top advice for everyone including Community Development for Eclipse Projects
- Performance Bloopers
- Links Collection to architecture-related interesting blog posts, articles and the like
- Bugs on the AC component, or CC'd to the EAC
Getting Involved
- File a bug for discussion on the EAC. We welcome your input! - See this E-Mail.
Open Issues
- Architecture Council/Open Issues lists overflow topics that have been brought up but not yet been discussed
Call Schedule
EAC conference calls are every month on the second Thursday at 8am Pacific, 11am Eastern, 5pm European time. A reminder email will be sent to the list in advance of the calls. The call-in number is on each Agenda page (usually the standard Eclipse Foundation Conference Bridge for Project Reviews, as per the MyFoundation Portal page).

Revision as of 14:30, 30 September 2009
STEM allows you to import data from one or more external files and to play them back. Today, import is supported for Comma Separated Variable (CSV) files.
Organizing the Data Files
The individual files or collections of files for a particular scenario should be grouped in a single folder. In figure 1a we show a collection of files, all containing Shigella data, grouped in a folder called "ScenarioShigella". This folder can have any name and be placed in any location. In the example below we place the folder in the same location that STEM typically exports data to, namely:
... runtime-stem.product\<project>\Recorded Simulations\
This is where your runtime-stem.product\ is typically located on C:\runtime-stem.product\ in a default Eclipse installation.
To import data, it is necessary that a CSV file be created for each state modeled by the disease. Each file name should be the disease state identifier (e.g. S, E, I or R) followed by an underscore character (_) followed by a number. The number indicates the geographical resolution for locations contained in the file. For instance, 3 represents locations at administration level 3 (US cities). In Figure 1a we show several files containing data for the S, E, I and R states at administration level 3. The file extension should be .csv.
For information on how to export data, please see the documentation on the CSV Logger View.
Figure 1a: Organizing Your Data to Prepare to Import into STEM.
Data Format
Each CSV file should contain a header indicating the domain of data in each column. The first column should contain a sequential iteration or row number and the header label must be 'iteration'. The second column should contain the time the data applies to (each row should be sequential in time) with header label 'time'. The following columns headers should indicate the unique STEM location ID for which data in that column belongs to, and the values in each row is the count (individuals) at the location in the state represented by the file. If the data is from syndromic surveillance users will likely not have information on every possible state but when importing you must have files and file headers for each state that you want to display. STEM determines the type of the disease by checking which files are available when importing data, so if for example STEM finds an S_3.csv and I_3.csv file but no E_3.csv or R_3.csv file it will assumed the disease is of type SI. Note that the data in each column must be total count (individuals) and not fraction in each state. The numbers may be floating point (allowing fractional people infected for example).
Table 1: The CSV file must label the locations you plan to import into STEM (see text). iteration, time, US-VT-50013-67000,US-VT-50027-77500,US-VT-50021-16825,US-VT-50021-75925 0, Thu Dec 13 18:32:58 PST 2007 , 253175, 1.45, 1.45, 0.0 1, Thu Dec 13 18:32:59 PST 2007 , 253110, 3.34, 3.34, 0.0 ...
In order to actually import the data into STEM, you must create a scenario. The external data will be read by adding a special disease model called a "ExternalDataSourceDiseaseModel" to your scenario. Follow the instructions for creating a scenario. Your scenario must contain a model and graph that contains the same set of the regions named in your collection of data files. So if you want to play back data on US counties, you must add all the US counties to your model.
When you are ready to add the ExternalDataSourceDiseaseModel to your scenario (under the model node), click on the icon for adding a new disease. specify your project and give the disease a name. Select ExternalDataSourceDiseaseModel as the disease model. You must then tell the ExternalDataSourceDiseaseModel the location of your data file(s). You may use the selector button to the right of Data Path. A "Select Directory" dialog (figure 1c) will appear allowing you to select a directory that contains the data files you wish to play back.
Figure 1b: Creating an ExternalDataSourceDiseaseModel.
Figure 1c: Select the Directory that Contains Your Data.
Once you have created a scenario set up to Replay a disease from an external file, you can also edit the data path using the Properties Editor. Just go to your project, find the ExternalDataSourceDiseaseModel you created under the "decorators" folder, and double click on it in the Resource Set window (See figure 2). The Editor will show up allowing you to change this path used to read in data.
Figure 2: Changing the Data Path in the Properties Editor.
Once you have completed setting up your scenario, Save your work at this point by hitting ctrl-s. To replay your data, select the scenario you created in the STEM project explorer, right click, and select run. STEM will launch, load the locations you specified, and play back your data.

At the UN Security Council on Fragility and Natural Resources
Imagine you are a leader of an African country and your entire government budget for the year is $1.2 billion.
That same year, an investor sells 51 percent of their stake in a huge iron ore mine in your country for $2.5 billion — more than double your annual government budget.
And imagine having ordered a review into mining licenses granted by previous regimes and knowing that the investor who made the $2.5 billion sale had been granted a mining license in your country for free.
It's what happened in Guinea. It's a story I heard Guinea's president, Alpha Condé tell the G8's trade, transparency and taxation conference in London. And it's a story I thought well worth sharing at the UN Security Council's meeting on fragile states and natural resources last week.

Here's some things that hit close to home. Not a 100% match, and I'm getting better, but still… a lot of truth.
1. I hate the stigma attached to the word "introvert."
That means a weird, socially awkward person we all want to avoid. To me, an "introvert" is someone who is selective about who they surround themselves with. It's someone who is comfortable with being by themselves without feeling insecure. We value quality over quantity.
2. I love meeting new people, but only if you approach me first.
If I have to make the first move, it'll most likely never happen. I'm silently imagining every possible thing that could go wrong and by the time I work up enough courage to do it, I've thoroughly freaked you out by constantly glancing your way and you've already sprinted for…

VIDEO: Take a look at Kevin Durant and Team USA as they practice
HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — Here's what we've learned about Kevin Durant through his first seven seasons in the league: He's his own man, capable of independent thought and making intelligent, well-reasoned decisions.
He chose to sign a five-year extension in 2010 without demanding an option for an early out. To ensure maximum appeal as a corporate pitchman, he strategically didn't tattoo areas of his body visible when in uniform. A few years ago a stunned public discovered that Durant's uniform-covered torso resembles Allen Iverson.
He is the league's reigning MVP coming off a grueling season in which he logged a league-high 3,121 regular-season minutes followed by a postseason-high 814 minutes (even though his Oklahoma City Thunder lost in six games in the Western Conference finals), yet he remained committed to Team USA, currently holding camp in Las Vegas. Remember, this squad will compete in the upcoming world championships in Spain (recast as the FIBA World Cup). This is not an Olympic year or even an Olympic-qualifying year. Durant doesn't have to be here. He chose to be here.
And he's a big story in Vegas. Everybody wants to know if, inspired by LeBron James' homecoming, he'll leave the Thunder for his long-suffering hometown Washington Wizards in 2016 when he becomes a free agent.
In the NBA it's never too early to spin theoretical free-agent story lines. Mostly because NBA front offices are actively planning for the Durant sweepstakes. Teams have to align contracts today to ensure available salary cap in two summers just to be in the chase. The NBA is a star-driven league and Durant (with potential 2015 free agent Kevin Love likely headed to Cleveland in a trade) is the next available fast track to contention.
And yes, the up-and-coming Wizards are preparing. Who wouldn't love to add Durant to the promising backcourt of John Wall and Bradley Beal? Washington's books are in line for summer '16, and you might have heard they hired a new player development assistant, David Adkins. Adkins? He was an assistant at Durant's alma mater Montrose Christian in Maryland, and is said to be close to Durant. The plot thickens.
Fine, but any insinuation that Northeast Ohio's re-embracing of LeBron tugged Durant's heartstrings toward D.C. is a reach. The Cavs drafted the locally loved Akron phenom out of high school. He elevated the hometown NBA franchise to a Finals appearance in 2007 and three years later stomped on the hearts of his faithful with the incredibly insensitive "Decision." Four Finals runs and two championships with the Miami Heat later, LeBron, all grown up, decided it was time to mend fences. Great story.
It's not Durant's story. Durant did tell reporters Tuesday that he grew up taking the train to Georgetown games, although he left home to play college ball 1,300 miles away at Texas. He was drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics in 2007 and the next season moved with the franchise to Oklahoma City, a close-knit town he's professed his love for countless times, and as recently as his MVP speech for the ages.
The Thunder are perennial contenders. Durant holds close relationships with coach Scott Brooks, as well as teammates Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka and many others in the organization. Most of all, Durant willingly immersed himself in the community. When he won the MVP, the city declared him "OKC's MVP." The governor and state representatives attended the ceremony.
If he were to leave OKC, it's not a stretch to suggest that community will be more devastated than D.C. will be elated. With Durant, 25, in a Thunder uniform, the championship window is open-ended.
But hey, a lot can happen in two years. The Thunder could win a championship. Or two. Or maybe they don't and Durant's patience runs thin, after all he'll be nine years in by the summer of '16. Maybe the Durant-Westbrook relationship sours. Maybe Brooks gets fired. Maybe Durant ultimately decides he wants to play for a billionaire owner more responsive to spending when the moment calls.
So maybe Durant does go home, even though the number of stars who have gone home pales to those who never do when given the chance. We've seen Durant don Washington NFL gear and — not sure if anybody's pointed this out — he's got a Washington Nationals logo tattooed above his belly button. Durant does love his D.C. sports.
So maybe he does go home. Or perhaps, as was speculated when Durant hired Jay-Z to represent him, he goes to the Knicks or Nets. They'll all be in line (yep, even the Nets will be flush with cap space by then).
Yes, the script that has Durant riding a white horse into Washington, where the Wizards/Bullets haven't won a title since a decade before Durant was born, is real. It could happen. Durant could also play 20 seasons in OKC.
"I'm going to do what's best for me," Durant told reporters in Vegas. "It's hard to talk about that right now when I've got two years left in Oklahoma City. I'm just going to focus on that. I'm not going to make a decision based on what anybody else does."
Durant might as well memorize those lines. He'll need to cue them up over and over during these next two years.
But what we've learned of him over the last seven years is Kevin Durant is his own man.

Caveats About Undergraduate Research
How to Structure and Name Data Files
Most of the research in my laboratory involves
the evolution of complex phenotypes.
Through empirical, theoretical, and methodological studies, we are also
helping to develop the field of evolutionary physiology (Links:
e.g., see
Annual Review of Physiology [1994] 56:579-621 [PDF
Physiology is the study of how organisms work. Evolution is the study of how organisms have changed (genetically) across generations. Thus, evolutionary physiology is the study of how and why the way organisms work has changed over time. For example, does the way an organism work constrain the way it may evolve? Answers to such questions require a deep understanding of both proximate and ultimate mechanisms, including phenotypic plasticity and early-life effects. Accordingly, my graduate students come through the Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology Graduate Program in the Department of Biology, as well as the Neuroscience Graduate Program, Genetics, Genomics & Bioinformatics Graduate Program, and the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences. I also participate in the
Evolutionary Biology Joint-Doctoral Program with San Diego State University. I serve as UCR co-Associate Director of NERE, the Network for Experimental Research on Evolution. As physiology cannot properly be understood in isolation from genetics, morphology, biochemistry, and behavior, my general approach is integrative and hence crosses traditional boundaries between disciplines.
Our laboratory is equipped to make a variety
of sophisticated whole-animal physiological and behavioral measurements.
We have concentrated on activity metabolism because many natural behaviors
(e.g., escaping from predators, foraging) depend crucially on capacities
for locomotion. I have worked primarily on lizards, snakes, and small
mammals, but I recognize the value of
both "model" and "non-model" systems and am always amenable
to work with other
Although most of our efforts involve exercise physiology and locomotor
behavior, graduate students have worked on a variety of other projects,
including: the evolution of reproductive timing in seals; behavioral/physiological
ecology and conservation biology of desert tortoises; reproductive and
conservation biology of lizards on a Spanish island; development of a monitoring
program for endangered species of small mammals. In addition, we
have collaborated with scientists from many countries, including Argentina,
Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Mexico, The
Netherlands, Spain, and The United Kingdom.

Chicago — The YMCA of the USA recently recognized five Ys for their involvement in Pioneering Healthier Communities (PHC), an initiative that helps communities form a team of community leaders to implement solutions to improve eating habits and increase physical activity.
Since the program began in July 2004, select YMCAs across the country have assembled teams of business executives, hospital administrators, elected officials, school superintendents, leaders of academic institutions and public health officials to improve the physical environments and lifestyle choices available to community residents. From developing walking and bike paths to making sure nutritious options are available in school vending machines, PHC teams develop and execute interventions that influence local policy, the environment and area programs. These local changes often serve as models for replication in other communities nationwide.
PHC is part of the Y's campaign to Activate America. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides financial support and serves as a key expert advisor for PHC. The PepsiCo Foundation also supports the program.
Five Recognized Ys
- The Attleboro Y (MA) team, with technical support from the National Park Service, is working to improve the walkability of Attleboro with an extensive city-wide trail. It also plans to expand a bike-path system and make improvements to sidewalks.
- The Y of Greater Rochester (NY) team worked with their child care food vendor for three full-day child care sites, requiring fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables and enhancing servings of whole grains.
- The YMCA of the Suncoast team in Clearwater, FL, influenced the two largest providers of after-school care by requiring 30 minutes of daily physical activity in their programming. The county government adopted the physical activity requirement as part of its licensing requirements for all after-school programs.
- The Rapid City Y (SD) team has actively campaigned for public policies that support walking and biking. The Rapid City city council has denied variances for developers who don't include sidewalks.
- The Y of Grand Rapids (MI) team, in response to limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables for inner-city residents, planted three community gardens and started a farmers' market to increase opportunities for residents to purchase healthy foods.

Argh!!... had to review some old command line stuff today and tested it out. Had to recall how to either print out or create a text file in Widnows. So anyway the direct printing was to involved calling a batch file that printed the listing to an LPT port thats re-directed to a network printer. Tip for W2K should work with XP but not sure.
From the start you have to open window$ Explorer and go to the tools and pick Folder Options then when it opens go to the file type let it load and then scroll down to find the Folder pick it is simply called "Folder" highlight it and click the Advanced tab in the lower Right. In the Action box enter the text you want the choice to be called for me it was " Directory Text File" in the Application used to preform action: Enter cmd.exe /c dir /o /s>Dir_Contents.txt
say ok to everything and close and re open explorer. Right Click and is done as here you will see a menu pick "Directory Text File"
Ok you can change just many of the switches after the /c it is there to simply close the cmd shell window the /o /s can be changed to what ever you want in the text file and the name of that file and well notepad is a double click. The file will be placed into what ever folder you highlighted at the moment you clicked the option that is now on the right click of the folders Properties attributes. It will print from note pad to any local or network printer that is the default or choosen. Peace

Medical cannabis (also referred to as medicinal marijuana) is the use of cannabis and its constituent cannabinoids such as THC as a physician-recommended form of medicine or herbal therapy. The Cannabis plant from which the cannabis drug is derived has a long history of medicinal use, with evidence dating back to 2,737 BCE.
Although the extent of the medicinal value of cannabis has been disputed, it does have several well-documented beneficial effects. Among these are: the amelioration of nausea and vomiting, stimulation of hunger in chemotherapy and AIDS patients, lowered intraocular eye pressure (shown to be effective for treating glaucoma), as well as general analgesic effects (pain reliever).
Synthetic cannabinoids are available as prescription drugs in many countries. Examples include Marinol, available in Germany and the United States, and Cesamet, available in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and also in the United States.

As Lollapalooza wrapped up the last night of its three-day music festival, officials estimate the event drew hundreds of thousands of music-lovers.
City officials and festival organizers reported a crowd of 100,000 people flocked to Grant Park each day for the weekend festivities, setting a new record for the event.
Last year, the fan-filled festival drew 270,000 music-lovers over the three days, marking historic attendance and tying the record set at the 2011 fest.
Sunday's lineup featured a myriad of musical acts with performances by bands like Vampire Weekend, Phoenix and The Cure.
Throughout the weekend headline performers rocked the stages at Grant Park.
Friday's hits included Lana Del Rey, Steve Aoki, The Killers and Nine Inch Nails.
Saturday's lineup had a few schedule changes with two band cancellations in three days.
Lollapalooza announced Saturday that they were canceling a performance by the experimental rap group Death Grips.
Death Grips was reportedly a no-show for a festival after-party Friday at the Bottom Lounge.
The 8:45 p.m. slot on the Grove stage was filled by Los Angeles rock band Bad Things, who rocked out the stage's final performance of the night and left fans raving.
The band featured prominent snowboarder Shaun White on guitar.
"He shreds more than snow!" the Twitter fan page for the Olympic star tweeted.
Saturday's lineup at the Grove stage was already shuffled earlier in the week when Azealia Banks' performance was canceled Thursday due to a throat infection.
A Saturday highlight that left fans stunned happened when lead singer for The Lumineers, Wesley Schultz, waded into the crowd during the band's set in an "up close and personal" performance.
The Lumineers and Bad Things were among several crowd-pleasing bands to headline Saturday, including hit performances by Kendrick Lamar, The Postal Service, Steve Angello and Mumford & Sons.
Though fans drudged through soggy grounds Friday in a brief flashback of the muddy mess that plagued the festival in past years, the grounds dried up for the rest of the weekend event, to the delight of many Lolla-goers.
Last year's stormy weather evacuated the more than 60,000 in attendance and 3,000 staff members, causing thousands of dollars in damage to the grounds.
This year's mostly dry weather could lower the historically hefty repairs bill.

AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry boasted Tuesday that Texas has become a national model of economic success under his tenure, assuring lawmakers they can deal with pressing water and transportation projects and fund state needs while keeping the brakes on spending.
"We led the nation out of recession and into recovery," the Republican governor said in his biennial State of the State address to a joint session of the Legislature.
His message was replete with popular conservative themes — small government, low taxes and defiance of Washington. Perry said Texas has more money than it needs and he called for amending the Texas Constitution to allow the state to return tax money it collects but doesn't spend.
"As to how we provide that relief, there are plenty of good ideas," he said, asking that taxpayers send suggestions to his website.
Perry recommended $1.8 billion in unspecified tax relief. Most of the state's revenue comes from sales taxes, so direct refunds to taxpayers would be difficult.
And his rosy fiscal picture was rejected by Democrats, who warned that Texas under Perry's stingy budgets has badly shortchanged public schools, health care and other programs. They called for restoring deep budget cuts of two years ago.
"He's working to create greater and greater disinvestment in the future of the state," said Sen. Wendy Davis, a Democrat from Fort Worth. "That might be fine for his political purposes, but it's not fine for our state."
Perry's speech was aimed at two political audiences — Texans, who will vote for governor again next year, and national GOP voters, who will determine the party's nominee for president in 2016. Perry fumbled his White House bid last year but has indicated he wants to run again.
To win over national GOP voters, Perry would need to repair the damage from his ill-prepared and short-lived campaign, capped by an "oops" debate moment in which he couldn't remember the three federal agencies he'd promised to abolish if elected president. Tuesday's address, touting tax cuts and the success of the Texas economy, reflects the kind of message that Perry aides believe would particularly appeal to conservative voters.
Perry's future electoral prospects are unclear. A poll released Tuesday found that most Texans don't want him to run for re-election next year or for president again. "He's among the most unpopular governors in the country," according to the analysis by Public Policy Polling, citing higher unfavorable than favorable ratings.
Tuesday was Perry's seventh State of the State message since becoming governor more than a decade ago. It was a stark contrast to his address two years ago when the state struggled with a $27 billion budget shortfall and an anemic economy. Budget-writers responded with deep cuts to education, health care and other programs.
Texas has rebounded from the recession better than most other states, in part because of soaring revenue from oil and gas production. Perry credited conservative policies for the state's success.
"The tough decisions we faced last session tested our resolve and our dedication to the principles that brought us here," Perry said Tuesday. "In the end, we remained dedicated to those principles, holding the line on taxes, spending within our means and making the tough decisions separating wants from needs."
Speaking in the ornate House chamber, Perry said for the first time that he supports taking $3.7 billion from surplus to build highways and water facilities. The governor has been reluctant to tap the state's rainy day fund in the past but said the need for water and transportation projects is great and the spending would be a one-time thing.
He was interrupted once by a protester who shouted that too many Texans lack health insurance. Republican lawmakers stood and applauded, drowning him out until Capitol police escorted the demonstrator from the chamber.
Perry said nothing about restoring funding to schools, which lost billions of dollars in the current budget, prompting larger classes, fewer teachers and reduced programs. But he promoted the idea of creating more public charter schools, which are freed from some state regulation, and advocated a scholarship program for students to attend private schools.
He offered few details, but some advocates are suggesting an indirect voucher system in which the state gives tax breaks to companies, which then provide such scholarships.
Senate Democratic Caucus Chairman Kirk Watson of Austin said Perry's call to curb spending and cut taxes would hurt middle-class citizens and Texas businesses over the long run.
"They need good schools, colleges, universities," said Watson. "They need reliable water supplies, roads and transportation networks. They need efficient and effective hospitals, clinics, nursing homes."
Although Perry has aligned himself with social conservatives, he didn't mention abortion, gay marriage or other subjects on the agenda of the religious right. He also didn't deal with immigration.
Two years ago, as he prepared to run for president, Perry called for abolishing "sanctuary cities," where police are barred from asking those they stop about their immigration status. And he called for criminal penalties against employers who hire workers who are in the country illegally.
But the national immigration debate has shifted significantly since then, with many in the GOP warning that the party is failing to attract a growing Hispanic population because of its harsh rhetoric and anti-immigrant policies.
Perry also repeated that Texas will not accept federal funding to expand Medicaid under the federal health care law. And he declared the state will not assist in the implementation of so-called Obamacare by creating state insurance exchanges, as provided in the law. In cases where states decline to set up exchanges, the federal government will do it for them.
On Medicaid, he said, "Texas will not drive millions more into an unsustainable system, and that stance has not changed an iota."

UPDATE: Protester arrested
UNINSURED: Law officers arrested a member of the group Texas Organizing Project after he shouted out about uninsured Texans during Gov. Rick Perry's State of the State address in the Capitol on Tuesday.
DETAINED: Texas Department of Public Safety officers detained the Rev. James Caldwell, 59, in a room outside the House chamber and later led him out of the Capitol in handcuffs, said the group's executive director, Ginny Goldman.
DISRUPTING: Caldwell was charged with disrupting a meeting or procession, a Class B misdemeanor, and was taken to the Travis County Jail, a DPS spokesman said. Members of the group were demonstrating outside the Capitol before the speech as well.

Missouri S&T Students Investigate Water Solutions
Bruno's main source of revenue comes from a co-op grain storage facility. In the years before pesticide regulations during the 1940s and 1950s, the town's main practice was to use grain fumigants to protect crop yield. Little did they know that the chemicals used seeped down into the area's water supply causing it to be undrinkable.
Now faced with problem of a dwindling water supply, this small town in Nebraska looks upon these Missouri S&T students for help.

Jon Cecchettini needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 304 designs submitted by 35 freelance designers.
We are a startup company with a web app that is launching in March. The product name is "SimpleCTMS" (clinical trial management system).
The application is a collaborative, project-management tool for global teams. The goals for our product/application are to be: simple, flexible, intuitive, organized, and team-oriented.
Our product/company website is simplectms.com, which has a temporary logo and design, and has more info about us and the product. The temporary logo includes a "fire" icon, because our official company name is "Trial by Fire Solutions" (but the fire icon does not really make sense for SimpleCTMS).
For more general info on CTMS products: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinic…ent_System
We are targeting professionals in the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, who plan, execute and track clinical trials (for drugs that are not yet on the market).
The CTMS market has existed for many years, but most applications are complicated, clunky, outdated/ugly and difficult to use. We are launching a fresh, innovative, attractive user experience, based on the latest web technologies/trends.
We do not necessarily need a logo that reflects biotech or pharma.... our design goal has been to build a sleek, simple, flexible, intuitive/organic web app, and we want a logo to reflect that.
We would like the logo in two text formats: "SimpleCTMS" (for our web site) and "SimpleCTMS.com" (for print, swag and other web uses).
We are accustomed to a logo consisting of an icon along with the text, which we like but is not required.
One rendering of the logo should be able to fit in our web-app header space, which is 40px tall and roughly 200px wide (and the logo should be clearly readable at that size). We would also like the logo to be able to scale up for use on signs (like for a conference stall).
We are flexible on color palette. Our current site uses light, neutral colors (light blues, grays, light earth-tones, etc.), and we want to stick with a "light" overall design, so the logo should be designed for a light backdrop. We are open to suggestions for a palette (we're also ok sticking with the light blue theme currently on our site).
The winner of the contest will likely be asked to work with us on additional design tasks related to our upcoming web and print needs (so we have an overall design that is consistent with our logo).
Thanks and enjoy!

Because many institutions and other entities will not accept a transcript that has been in the student's possession, we strongly recommend you request the Office of the Registrar to mail a transcript directly to the institution/entity involved. If you choose not to follow this recommendation, you are liable for any further charges for additional transcripts.
