There is a factor that goes like the size of the antenna divided by the wavelength squared, and the wavelength at 50 Hz is, um, "large" -- a tenth of a light-second or so, compared to a tenth of a meter or so. Squared. "Static" (time-varying at 50 Hz, but non-radiating) fields probably exist around isolated AC wires carrying large currents, none of which will be anywhere near the systems, since by hypothesis they are being run by a power supply some distance away and run on DC. Second, EM >>radiation<< (including both of the E and M fields it is made up of) is strongly excluded from most conductors, with the nonlinear exception of ferromagnetic metals for static magnetic fields. Metals are dielectric and diamagnetic in that they expel field. An EM wave incident on a piece of metal is typically absorbed and reflected within a "skin depth" of the surface that is again a very small number. A piece of aluminum foil is plenty adequate to completely screen most EM radiation; so is aluminum screen (like that used in certain windows) provided that the hole size is smaller than the wavelength. Microwaves carrying quite a lot of power (enough to cook you) are easily screened by a simple sheet of metal punched with holes in it across the window so you can see into it without frying your eyes or brain (although being paranoid I don't stand with my eyes pressed up to the glass watching my popcorn pop:-). Third, the cancer scare is just plain that -- a scare. There is no statistically significant evidence that living under or near high voltage power lines causes cancer. The only time such evidence WAS reported, the statistics of the study was questionable, and reanalysis completely eliminated the hypothesized effect. Nor is there ANY credible mechanism for them to cause cancer -- the power available in the fields produced by high voltage lines is simply not adequate to EITHER raise the temperature of anything a measurable fraction of a degree (one doesn't exactly cook one's thanksgiving turkey by going outside and setting it under the high voltage power line) OR to cause e.g. quantum mechanical transitions with enough energy to damage molecules such as DNA. Finally, such radiation as there is has a penetration depth that is tiny into any conductor and wait! We are conductors! Just as is the case with sunlight, the only part of our bodies that are actually EXPOSED to radiation fields from power lines is our skins, but melanoma was not the cancer reported. Then (to quote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field): The strength of the field at the Earth's surface at this time ranges from less than 30 microteslas (0.3 gauss) in an area including most of South America and South Africa to over 60 microteslas (0.6 gauss) around the magnetic poles in northern Canada and south of Australia, and in part of Siberia. so if (to quote you): > Please note that general agreement seems to be that it is wise to avoid new > situations where persons must nonstop live in a field above 0.4 microtesla. then the human race is SOL, isn't it. And here is our government, doing nothing about it! Time to migrate to the moon or something except that wait! The Earth's field, a hundred times bigger than "general agreement" says is safe, helps to shield us from the very radiation streaming at us from the Sun that that IS ionizing (molecular bond breaking) and hence IS likely to cause cancer. I'd worry more about what will happen when the Earth's magnetic field vanishes, as it appearst to be doing at a possibly alarming rate, or reverses, as it does every quarter-million years or so. Finally, you seem to completely misunderstand the difference between volts and amperes. If one places one's head up against a 400000 volt overhead primary supply wire there is indeed a health risk but it ain't from magnetic fields. I'll have to pass this one on to my brother-in-law the electrician, he'll find it a hoot. It is from the blinding searing pain you'd experience in the fraction of a second that your nervous system still "functioned" while it exploded into a plasma, driven by a more or less electroSTATIC process (as 50-60 Hz is, as noted, a "slowly varying field" and you're in the NEAR field zone where radiation is irrelevant except, of course, for the high frequency fourier components of the lightning bolt that blows you apart. Magnetic fields are produced by CURRENT, not voltage. Two wires 1 meter long carrying a current of 1 ampere and separated by one meter produce a force of 2x10^-7 Newtons on one another. Since the magnetic field constant DEFINES the ampere, the magnetic field one meter away from a long straight wire carrying one ampere of current is EXACTLY 2x10^-7 Tesla (or 2 milligauss). It varies like 1/r as one approaches the wire, so at order of a millimeter it is order of a gauss. The maximum currents inside a PC are order of 10 amperes (depending on voltage and power drawn on the different DC supply lines and they tend to be cm away from things, so their fields too probably approach a whole gauss. This is sensible -- Gauss are units we use as they are RELEVANT to everyday fields where a field of 1 Tesla is so large that it actually IS dangerous (at least to people wearing iron or other ferromagnetic metal or carrying around bank cards in their wallet -- I've trashed two of the latter carrying around demonstration magnets in the department:-(. Note well that this large a field is still a factor of 40 or smaller than the Earth's magnetic field. The only statement below that I unambiguously agree with is the one about amateuristic methods. So, for the record, the EM shielding I was referring to is that that might be required for radiation in the GHz range, caused by bleedout from the CPU clock or other system oscillators, from motherboard traces or unshielded lines that are on the order of cm in length (since 3 GHz radiation has a wavelength of around 0.1 meter and will radiate significantly from an antenna a few cm in size and can be picked UP efficiently by other nearby antenna a few cm in size). My original (64K motherboard) IBM PC radiated like an SOB. I could tell because I could literally hear it as interference on the radio I had in my office when I tuned to the right band of frequencies. The problem persisted through the AT, but then all but disappeared. You can still "hear" a bit of bleed-through radiation if you listen to music on a computer and have a good ear, sometimes, but they engineer motherboards to AVOID the problem and largely succeed. In no case was the RADIATION dangerous. It is just within the realm of possibility that if you mount two cheap motherboards too close to one another you'll induce enough voltage in certain frequencies between them to excite e.g. a bit flip and ruin your computation(s) or cause system crashes. There are FCC regulations as well, as the frequencies used in computers interfere with e.g. cell phones and other radio devices in the GHz range. Sorry for any confusion, and remember, college physics textbooks aren't too expensive and the wikipedia is free (and is rapidly becoming a fabulous resource for physics as people write {\em great} articles for it on advanced subjects. rgb > Isn't shielding 50Hz fields pretty expensive, or do we speak of other type > of shielding here, so not getting rid of the electro magnetic field? > > I tend to remember mu-metal is one of the metals that gets used, as it > completely eliminates 50Hz fields.

|taking a daily antinflamitory to fight facial wasting?
Dec 26, 2001
i have read many times one of the reasons people have fascial wasting and other problems,may be because of constant inflamation from the hiv virus. would it not make since to take a mild daily antinflamatory to combat it? i am thinking of motrin or some none aspirin (as to not cause to much blood thinning) i also for years took an aspirn a day because i had read it blocks prostiglandins(which tumors love) anyway just throwing this out there,what do you think?
Response from Dr. Fisher
Good thinking, no evidence. Which is why we need more basic research into the causes of lipodystrophy. Also the absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence. So it might be helpful. AF

Chris Vericker, an adjunct faculty member of Emmanuel's Graduate and Professional Programs, was named the 2011 recipient of the Outstanding Continuing Education Faculty Award from the University Professional & Continuing Education Association (UPCEA), New England region. Vericker was honored at the association's conference in Providence, R.I., October 26th.
Vericker has been an adjunct faculty member at Emmanuel since 1996. He has instructed over 150 courses in the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program and the graduate programs in management, research administration, and human resource management. In addition, he has been instrumental in the development of new graduate management specializations, which include two courses delivered in a fully online format.
As a long-serving faculty member in Graduate and Professional Programs, Vericker is well regarded by his colleagues and is often sought out for direction and guidance. As an instructor, he is consistently evaluated by students as among the top faculty members in management. Students appreciate his ability to make complex subject matter engaging and relevant while understanding their interest in career growth at their places of employment.
"His greatest strength [is] to put himself in the place of the student, see things from that point of view, and work together with each student to ensure success in the course," said Sheila Doyle, a student of Vericker's within the graduate programs in research administration.
Vericker's appreciation for the needs of his students stems from his own experience in education, having received both his bachelor and master's degrees as a part-time student. He holds a Bachelor of Science from St. Peter's College and a Master of Science from Pace University. Of his own educational experience, he told Emmanuel News in 2007, "I know it really helped me find my way in life and gave me an opportunity to get my education."
In addition to teaching, Vericker is the vice president of the Construction Lending Group of Middlesex Savings Bank where he has worked for seven years. Even with a full-time career of his own, he maintains an exceptional commitment to Emmanuel College and its students in Graduate and Professional Programs. In her official nomination of Vericker to UPCEA, Executive Assistant to the Vice President of Academic Affairs Ellen Mendonca, formerly the director of advising and special projects for Graduate and Professional Programs, highlighted some of his outstanding contributions, from serving as a graduate student advisor for capstone projects and mentor to students and colleagues, to attending student events and participating in activities across the College.
"Chris exemplifies all the extraordinary traits that we seek for continuing education faculty members teaching adult and graduate students," she wrote. "We are so fortunate to have Chris as part of our esteemed faculty in Graduate and Professional Programs."

HIV Pill Burden, Not Dosing Frequency, Appears to Affect Treatment Success
October 28, 2013
Taking a once-daily treatment regimen over a twice-daily regimen may slightly improve adherence, but not necessarily virologic suppression, according to study results presented at EACS 2013 in Brussels, Belgium. However, regardless of dosing frequency, a lower pill burden was correlated with better adherence and virologic suppression.
The study results, presented by Jean Nachega, M.D., were derived from a meta-analysis of 19 randomized clinical trials from around the world conducted between 2004 and 2011, spanning a total of 6,312 participants. Seven studies included treatment-naive patients, nine studies included treatment-experienced patients with virologic suppression, and three studies included treatment-experienced patients who had experienced virologic failure after switching to a new regimen. The researchers set out to compare rates of adherence and rates of virologic suppression in patients receiving once-daily antiretroviral therapy regimens versus patients receiving twice-daily regimens. Median follow-up time was 48 weeks.
When measuring rates of adherence:
When measuring rates of virologic suppression:
Overall, there was an average increase of 2.5% in rates of adherence for those taking once-daily regimens versus twice-daily regimens, a modest but statistically significant difference. By comparison, there was an average increase of about 1% in rates of virologic suppression for those taking once-daily regimens versus twice-daily regimens -- however, this difference was not statistically significant.
The researchers noted that the relatively small increase in adherence rates may have contributed to this apparent lack of virologic outcome. However, they also noted limitations that may have been a factor, including possible pharmacokinetic differences between the drugs in once-daily regimens versus twice-daily regimens, the short duration of several of the trials and the recruitment (in some trials) of treatment-experienced patients who were likely already highly adherent and virologically suppressed. For these reasons, the researchers believe the difference in rates of virologic suppression may be underestimated.
Nachega also stated that when analyzing all studies and patient groups cumulatively, the higher the number of pills -- or "pill burden" -- in a regimen, the lower the rates of adherence and virologic suppression were among patients.
Given all of these results, the researchers concluded that switching patients from a once-daily regimen to a twice-daily regimen may be reasonable, particularly if they are experiencing side effects on their once-daily regimen. However, the wisdom behind any switch may greatly depend on the number of pills in the regimen, they warned, as pill burden was found to be a predictor of treatment success.
Further study is warranted, in particular to investigate the impact of switching from a once-daily single-tablet regimen to a once-daily multi-tablet regimen.

Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins offer to repay portion of public costs to renovate stadium
The Miami Dolphins have offered to repay Miami-Dade County for a portion of the public costs of renovating Sun Life Stadium, and to pay millions of dollars in penalties should the team fail to bring major events to South Florida, including four Super Bowls over the next three decades, The Miami Herald has learned.
The Dolphins have told the county they will repay Miami-Dade for the initial share of the renovation costs in about 30 years, but the rebate would not include the debt payments that will likely come with the deal, according to a source familiar with the Dolphins' offer and a draft term sheet obtained by The Herald.
During meetings last week with NFL owners in Phoenix, the Dolphins shared a confidential report on their ongoing negotiations with Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez to bring the issue to a countywide vote, according to an NFL source. The source said the Dolphins revealed they have offered to use private dollars to fund $225 million in construction costs for a renovation now estimated at $389 million, less than the $400 million figure that was the most commonly used estimate for the deal.
That amounts to the Dolphins asking for public money to fund about 43 percent of the construction costs, less than the 49 percent that was initially floated as a starting point by the team. And the Dolphins have offered to go one step further and repay Miami-Dade for the $120 million the county would be expected to put into the renovation, the NFL source said. The remaining $44 million would come from a state sales-tax subsidy.
The new details on the Dolphins' offer come as the team faces pressure to close a deal with Gimenez and then launch a campaign to win a countywide referendum that would be needed to get the funding plan approved. The Dolphins want to pay for a portion of the renovations with a new $3 million rebate on sales tax it pays the state, as well as with new dollars generated by increasing the taxes charged mainland Miami-Dade hotels to 7 percent from 6 percent.
Last week, the Dolphins announced two concessions initially floated by the county: If state officials agree the team will cover the costs of holding the referendum, and the team will not accept county dollars if the NFL does not award South Florida the 50th or 51st Super Bowls when league owners convene May 22.
The term sheet obtained by The Herald also included details on a repayment plan. Under those terms, the Dolphins would repay the county $120 million in 2043, after the end of a 30-year deal covered by the agreement. The terms do not include an adjustment for inflation, and would not return to Miami-Dade any of the interest expense the county would incur to repay $120 million in bonds borrowed using the revenue created by the higher hotel tax.
According to the term sheet, the Dolphins would be bound by the agreement even if the team is sold.
The team would pay the county a penalty at the end of the 30-year agreement if the Dolphins do not deliver a minimum number of events at the stadium, including at least four Super Bowls, four college football championship games and 22 soccer matches. For example, the penalty for not landing a Super Bowl would be $15 million. The NFL source said the team would pay up to $100 million in penalties.
The Dolphins would also sign a non-relocation agreement, agreeing to stay in Miami until 2043. The stadium renovation would be completed by September 2015, the NFL source said.
Ownership of the stadium would remain in private hands for the life of the deal, according to the source. That means the Dolphins will continue to pay property taxes on the stadium, a bill that in 2012 came to nearly $4 million.
The team shared details of the negotiations, which also include a pledge to cover cost overrun, with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, multiple club owners and other high-ranking league officials last week.
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and CEO Mike Dee declined comment Monday.
"We are looking forward to finalizing a fair agreement with the mayor this week, but until then we will not negotiate in the media," team spokesman Eric Jotkoff said.
Gimenez's office also declined comment. "The mayor is not going to negotiate in public," communications director Fernando Figueredo said.
Gimenez, who came into power partly because of his strident opposition to the highly unpopular public financing for the new Miami Marlins ballpark, has repeatedly said the negotiations might not result in any deal, if the terms do not benefit the county.
The mayor and the Dolphins have met four times. They did not meet last week and have no meetings scheduled this week.
The Dolphins want a referendum to take place May 7 or 14, before the May 22 NFL owners meeting. That would require county commissioners to set the special election sometime in the next two or three weeks, since Miami-Dade is required to provide legal notice 30 days before an election.
The referendum would be contingent on state lawmakers approving a bill allowing the county to increase the hotel taxes and providing the Dolphins with the sales-tax rebate. The legislation was quickly approved by several Florida House and Senate committees before slowing down last week.

NEW YORK (AP) -- At least for one day, drivers in the New York region on Saturday seemed to be getting a break from spending hours in gas lines after Superstorm Sandy.
Around New York City, they still waited longer than usual at stations. But the lines that stretched a dozen Manhattan blocks earlier in the week at some stations were far shorter. Many were closed — for lack of fuel or taking a break.
In Brooklyn, drivers waited about 20 minutes at most in blocklong lines — much less than in previous days.
But on Staten Island, the few open stations were busier, with about 20 cars lined up on one street amid stalled traffic.
No one knows exactly what will happen in the coming week as commuters and businesses look for fuel to get back to work.
The gas rationing announced earlier this week — the first in the nation's largest city since the 1970s Arab oil embargo — is forcing motorists to alternate days they line up at stations based on whether their license plate ends with odd or even numbers.
In New Jersey, state-imposed gas limits continued in 12 of 21 counties. The rationing based on license plate numbers will be evaluated to see how much longer it's needed, according to Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for Gov. Chris Christie.
The restrictions, coupled with power restoration, have mitigated the long waits that drivers endured at service stations just after the storm, said Sal Risalvato, executive director of the New Jersey Gasoline, Convenience Store and Automotive Association.
"It may take another week or so before it gets back to normal," he said.

Four students killed by USA militarized police force for protesting
Today is an ugly anniversary in American history: 42 years ago, National Guardsman opened fire on anti-Vietnam protesters at Ohio's Kent State University, killing four students. Ten days later, Mississippi police fired on civil rights protesters taking refuge in a women's dormitory at Jackson State University and killed two more students."

As Mel Gibson's character said in "Lethal Weapon";
"We're going to get bloody on this one Rog."
The only reality the "true believers" insist upon is the one where they get to do all of the killing. History has proven beyond any shadow of a doubt that they know of no other alternative.
Believe. Or die.

Individual tax impact reports to be available to school district voters
ALCO donates $20,391.30 in supplies
Moose Lake School District property owners may be able to call to get information about the tax impact on their properties before voting on the bond referendum May 21, Mike Hoheisel of Northland Securities told the Moose Lake School Board on Monday, March 18.
A roster of property owners in the Moose Lake School District will be collected and the tax impact for the $33 million project calculated for each, said Hoheisel.
"You will be the first school district to get that information," he added. "We are going to try it in Moose Lake."
The Moose Lake School District and the Rushford-Peterson School District, which also has old buildings that were damaged by a flood in 2012, have made presentations to the Minnesota State Legislature asking for $20 million for each district to replace the schools.
Hoheisel said that the presentation by the Moose Lake School District representatives was very well presented and it was received favorably. However, it will not be known if the grant is awarded until May.
The grant would greatly reduce the tax impact on the property owners in the Moose Lake School District, Hoheisel said.
The interest rates are starting to go up, he said. He had provided information at an interest rate of 3.55 percent, which also had a cushion to protect the school district and the securities company.
Hoheisel presented information that showed that a residential homestead property owner with a $130,000 property would have to pay $481.84 per year in taxes, and the owner of a $130,000 commercial/industrial property would have to pay $899.48. Those are both just for the school district's $33 million in GO School Building Bonds. That rate is for 2014. It increases slightly in 2015.
If the entire $20 million grant is awarded, the tax impact on a $130,000 residential homestead would be $222.37, and for commercial/industrial property, it would be $415.11 for $13 million in GO School Building Bonds.
Board members and people at the meeting spoke of the importance of urging the Legislature to pass the bill. The bill is authored by Senator Tony Lourey in the Senate and Representative Mike Sundin in the House of Representatives.
If the Legislature awards the $20 million grant, Vote Yes campaign organizers will just have one week to contact the property owners, inform them of the news, and urge them to vote yes on the referendum in the election on May 21.
"If you did receive that $20 million grant, that's a nice end-of-the-campaign hurrah," said Hoheisel.
Other business
Changing the service learning portion of Social Studies to make it more accountable was the one aspect of a presentation about the changes in the high school Social Studies curriculum.
Because the Moose Lake School District isn't meeting the state standards in Social Studies, the former Econ of Life, which isn't taught any longer, will be replaced with the traditional ECON, said instructor Lee Stephenson.
Next year, freshmen will take a full year of World History, and seniors will take a half year to meet the state standards.
Service learning, formerly known as community service, is not effective in holding the students accountable, it was said. Students have adults sign a slip indicating that the hours are completed but it cannot be determined if the time and service is accurate or fraudulent.
To add meaning to the projects, it would be better if the students had to complete less than the 48 hours of service required currently and spend more time prepping for group projects and reflecting on the experience after the hours have been completed.
"We are trying to address the problems, not trying to get rid of the program," said Stephenson.
Superintendent Robert Indihar reported that eight people have signed up for the new child care program that is being implemented in the elementary school. Ads for the position of director of the program have been posted, with a closing date of April 5.
The board approved accepting a $20,391.30 donation of supplies from the local ALCO-Duckwall store. Supt. Indihar reported that the store has a new vendor, and the vendor had purchased the supplies and donated them to the school.
"We were there to look at it today," he said. "There is all kinds of merchandise, like tools and paint, that the janitors can use. The merchandise will be divided for the different entities in the school, and the remaining items will be sold on the school's garage sale."
The board also approved accepting the donation of a piano from Kevin and Tammy Dunrud.
In other business the board approved the auditing firm of KDV for the audits for FY13, FY14 and FY15.
A working meeting of the school board was set for Monday, April 8, at 6 p.m., and the next regular meeting of the board was set for Monday, April 15 at 6 p.m. Both meetings will be held in Room 115 at the school.

Burning Question: Is It Really Necessary to Devein Shrimp?
If you've peeled your own shrimp (and saved the shells for stock) at home recently, you may have encountered the quandary of whether or not to devein the shrimp. While most recipes call for shrimp to be peeled and deveined (removed of its intestinal tract), there are dissenters, like our very own PartySugar, who has learned from the Spanish that it's completely unnecessary to devein shrimp. So what's the real story?
It depends on the type of shrimp. When cooking with smaller shrimp that have a translucent-hued tract, deveining is unnecessary. Larger shrimp and jumbo prawns often have a dark, sandy intestinal tract. You won't fall ill from eating jumbo prawns if these aren't removed; however, it's recommended that you remove them, not only for cosmetic reasons, but also to avoid affecting the shrimp's clean taste.

I don't know about mind blowers, but my column for I think April's CWM is on "things you can do with your starter cluster". It's far from exhaustive, but it provides a bit of direction for this perennial question. As far as RESEARCH topics are concerned, you should probably contact me off the list if you really do want any suggestions. There is a bit of difference between "generally interesting stuff you can do with a beowulf" and "computer science research you can do" with a beowulf. The former is concerned with applications and simple demonstrations -- the latter with tools, algorithms, timings, latency and so forth. I do have one idea for god's own project that I've offered up to the list a few times before (one inspired by work of Jack Dongarra and others, in case you were wondering which god:-). In a nutshell, it is to build a microbenchmarking daemon that could be included in a standard linux distribution and run as an initd-controlled tasks during startup. During normal operation, it would borrow idle cycles and accumulate benchmark/performance statistics and make them available via a socket interface (probably UDP) Any application, local or remote, could then query any host/node and get a performance profile -- a matrix of key microbenchmark numbers. These in turn could be used to "autotune" both serial and parallel/distributed applications. Once the daemon existed and a fairly standard set of numbers developed for a first cut at its output, one could then start thinking about e.g. rewriting ATLAS so that it autotunes from the daemon results instead of during build, so that a parallel application that partitions does so automatically to take advantage of superlinear speedups that might occur for certain partitionings, and so forth. I'd think that there were all sorts of papers in there, no? And a damn nice GPL toolset in the end that could be tremendously useful to lots of people. And as a final benefit for those seeking fame, it would obviously become THE microbenchmark tool for linux and likely other distros, as it would be the one that is built right in. In fact, the very first application that uses it would be a simple command line or GUI interface to read and plot its cumulated results... I'd be happy to direct this and maybe even contribute, if any CPS student-geeks out there find this interesting... rgb > > Good luck and welcome to the list. > > Brian Smith > > On Fri, 2005-02-18 at 10:44 -0600, streich at uwm.edu wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > I'm new to the list and just thought I'd introduce myself, as will probably be > > posting to the list a bit.

Diamond studs are the perfect gift for an important occasion. If she is more fashionable and follows the trends, give her princess-cut diamond studs, but if she dresses in classic styles, give round diamond studs.
Even if she has several pairs of earrings already, she'll love to add a pair of beautiful hoop earrings to her rotation. Most women have a preference of the colour of precious metals they wear, so look at her other jewellery to see what she prefers.
If studs and hoops are too predictable, silver earrings are available in a variety of fashionable styles. Other earring styles include colourful gemstone or beautiful pearl designs.

...and I'm looking to start playing tennis again. I played in HS, and I'm looking to get back into it. I moved here from California in August, and I don't have any tennis friends yet. This 60 degree weather has me inspired. I live on the Northside and I would love to find someone to rally with once a week. I'm 26 year old female. Give me a call if you're interested. 805-450-2188.

I'd love to. Maybe this weekend or a night next week? I live in uptown, near lawrence and sheridan. Where do you usually play?
Julia 805-450-2188
Hi Julia,
Same question as other people...Where on the Northside do you live?
I also live on the Northside, and looking to play more then the one time a week I do now.
I live in Uptown, on Lawrence on Sheridan. I haven't played yet in Chicago, so I'm not sure where courts are at. But I'm willing to travel to play. I haven't played in a long time so I'm sure I'm a little rusty. I would love to play sometime.
If you live on Lawrence and Sheridan the two courts closest to you would be the Clarendon Park courts on Montrose and Clarendon, and the Chase Park courts on Lawrence and Ashland. The Chase courts are kind of hidden behind the fieldhouse but they have a great hitting wall. If you are available between 9 and 11 weekday mornings drop me a line.

Genomics in Medicine Lecture Series resumes
Genomics in Medicine Lecture Series resumes
Daniel Kastner, M.D., NHGRI scientific director and inflammatory disease expert, will lead the line-up of speakers as the Genomics in Medicine Lecture Series resumes in September. Established in December 2011, the series is aimed at enhancing how health-care professionals' understand the intersection between genomics and medicine.
Five new lectures are planned through February 2013, each taking place at Suburban Hospital's lower level auditorium at 8600 Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, Md. The series is sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health, in collaboration with Suburban Hospital and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
At 8 a.m., Friday, Sept. 7, 2012, Dr. Kastner will present a talk Horror Autoinflammaticus: Adventures in the Genomics of Inflammation. The systemic autoinflammatory diseases are a relatively recently recognized group of disorders, characterized by seemingly unprovoked inflammation without the high titer autoantibodies or antigen-specific T-lymphocytes seen in autoimmune diseases. Dr. Kastner's talk will describe the clinical features of the autoinflammatory diseases, and will present some of the recent advances in understanding their genetics, pathophysiology and treatment.
All are welcome to the hour-long lecture, all of which are scheduled on the first Friday of the month begining at 8 a.m. There is no lecture is scheduled for October 2012.
Genomics in Medicne lectures are all recorded and posted on GenomeTV, NHGRI's YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/GenomeTV.

Manchester United chief executive David Gill is predicting a busy summer for the club.
On the field, United look set to tie up a 13th Premier League title, with victory over Everton this weekend another step towards the title.
However, off the pitch preparations ahead of the summer are already under way, and Gill is expecting a busy few months at United.
"The work goes on all year round but obviously intensifies as we come to the end of the season in terms of players," Gill said.
"There's various contracts we've got to do, we'll look at some acquisitions and there will be some players who will leave. It'san interesting time."
Following last summer's deluge of spending, United are likely to be more intent on releasing players, rather than bringing in rafts of new faces.
Dimitar Berbatov is expected to leave the club at the end of the season, Michael Owen's contract is up at the end of the season while Besiktas are yet to decide over the future of Bebe after loaning the winger this season.
Meanwhile, all eyes will be on youngsters Paul Pogba and Davide Petrucci, both of whom are yet to pen new deals with United.
If as expected, several player are removed from the wage bill, finances may then be available to add, however, the club's debt is likely to take precedent.

In principle we have everything working already that way, but want to "excel" a bit more: (1) Right now we use memdisk from the syslinux/isolinux family to boot the dos image. Booting an exact floppy image works fine, but for some part in (2) we might need more space than a 2,88 MB floppy or its extended pendant gives to us. Thus we are currently trying to boot a hd image which sems to be a bit trickier than a simple floppy image (getting boot code, partition table right for example). (2) We want to have some feedback from the process and don't want to have an automatic reboot after a possible failure because in the worst case this might "brickify" a node. Once I had the problem, that automatic BIOS flashing worked, but one node - which looked similar but behaved differently - was not able to finish the flashing procedure successfully. Since I was monitoring the node I was able to redo the flashing with a different option [1]. Anyway, that's the reason why we want to include a dhcp client and some means, possibly a ssh or rsh client along with the needed packetdriver to the image and notify the server that way, that it successfully flashed the BIOS and set our custom settings correctly. Only after that the nodes should continue FAIing. But maybe we are just too cautious. Greetings Carsten PS: Anyone an idea, why my emails end up for moderators approval every time? I have just checked the settings, but I'm subscribed (with this from address) and everything looks fine for me. [1] I still don't know what wsa special to this node. All other nodes were happy to get the BIOS flashed, but this particular one needed a special switch from the AMI(?) flash tool. I don't really remember what was wrong since this was at the end of the past millennium ;) >> In the worst case, the DOS environment is working autonomously and the >> install server is 'guessing' >> whether the BIOS is flashed or not on the clients, >> e.g., by analyzing the DHCP logs, but this is not what we really want. > > I'm hoping that the process described above IS what you want. > > rgb > >> >> Regards >> Henning Fehrmann >> _______________________________________________ >> Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org >> To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit >> http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf >> >

In his fourth season with the Costa Mesa High boys' soccer team, Franco Ramirez is playing for his third coach. That much turnover can make it hard for an experienced player to connect with someone new in charge.
For Ramirez and his latest coach, Amos Hernandez, that hasn't been the case at all.
The two relate to each other, respect each other and are fond of each other, on and off the field. They know what's necessary to succeed in a sport the Mustangs haven't achieved much in the past 10 seasons.
Without a strong work ethic, both agree the team stands no chance. Ramirez didn't learn how to work hard by playing soccer. Hernandez didn't learn by coaching soccer.
They thank their mothers for setting the right example.
While Ramirez and Hernandez are on the field on a daily basis with their team, their mothers clean houses. Carmen Ramirez and Mercedes Flores clean houses for a living and they're the moms who push their sons to strive.
"It inspires me because that's [hard work, cleaning houses]," said Ramirez, adding that his mother immigrated to this country from Mexico to give her son a better opportunity.
The vision is the same one Flores had for Hernandez.
The player and coach's family stories are similar. They use what their mothers have instilled in them to fuel Costa Mesa in practice and in matches. It's working so far, as the Mustangs are unbeaten in Orange Coast League play at 1-0-2.
They are competing unlike any other team Ramirez said he has been a part of at the school. The potential to do well, Ramirez said, has been there in his previous three seasons.
The new coach figured out what was missing.
"I just thought that they lacked organization, that they lacked a little bit of leadership, somebody to really bring the program together," said Hernandez, whose coaching background is mostly on the club level, with the Newport Mesa Soccer Club. "One of the things that I wanted to do was, where I played high school, [at Lakewood from 1996-99], the program that I came from, it was an organized program, it had a proper booster club, the parents were involved, and that's what I want to bring to the table here."
Signs of the program heading in the right direction are evident. The Mustangs have a senior to lead in the field of play and someone to lead from the sideline.
The start to Hernandez's debut as a varsity head coach wasn't ideal. The team lost its first three matches, never scoring a goal. Then after Costa Mesa won for the first time, it lost four allowable contests because it was on probation.
Four nonleague matches is all the Mustangs played before last week's Orange Coast League opener.
Through it all, Hernandez has stayed positive. He knew what he was getting into after the Mustangs were placed on probation for piling up too many red cards last season, violating a CIF Southern Section rule.
Last season was one Ramirez would like to forget because there was no discipline, but he cannot, he said. He worked hard to get ready for that junior season after he suffered a serious ankle injury as a sophomore.
All the work Ramirez did to get back, the 5 a.m. workout sessions to strengthen his left ankle and the physical therapy, didn't result in many wins in league for the Mustangs. They finished 3-6-1, good for fifth place, and missed the playoffs.
"My junior year was pretty bad [under Coach Juan Becerra], because I was coached [by Alex] Cordoba [my first] two years [at Costa Mesa]," said Ramirez, who was sidelined for much of Cordoba's final season with the Mustangs in 2010-11, when they reached the playoffs for the first time in nine years.
"I had to get used to new coaching. Becerra, as a person, he's a great guy. But as a coach, he was really young, 22 years old. During practices, it was pretty much players coaching players."
In the off-season, Ramirez had someone to talk to, his brother, Omar, about went wrong last season.
Ramirez and Omar always seem to be together, in their home, or on the field. Soccer unites them.
"We're always talking about what we can do better," Ramirez said.
The two brothers are roommates and teammates. They also play the same positions, striker and midfield.
Omar is more of a goofball at practice. As the oldest, Ramirez has a little more sense of urgency.
This season is his final one with the Mustangs' varsity program. He is one of two captains, an honor bestowed on players who can lead a team.
One way to motivate a team is by being vocal, something Ramirez has never set out to do. It just happened last week, him giving a speech to teammates before the team's first league contest.
The Mustangs hadn't played much up to this point. Ramirez didn't know what he was going to say to the team. The words just came out.
The match that day was so important to Ramirez that he needed to express himself.
"I don't think they knew what Estancia really was," said Ramirez, referring to the Mustangs' opponent in the Battle for the Bell rivalry series. "Estancia always sees us as easy, 'All right. We'll just play these guys and we'll win, and we'll win next time.' I felt like I needed to tell my players what this meant to us, [to] the youngest guys [on the team] and the first-timers on varsity. It was pretty motivating. I motivated myself."
It is one thing to speak up and another to back up those words. Ramirez delivered the message for the Mustangs and then won them over with his play right away.
In the second minute, Ramirez found the back of the net. The goal was enough for the Mustangs to upset the Eagles, 1-0, and give them just their second win against their rivals in seven seasons.
"When we realized we could beat our rival, we said, 'This is our year!'" Ramirez said.
It just might be the Mustangs' season. Two days after beating Estancia, Ramirez recorded another goal, helping the Mustangs tie Godinez, 2-2, in a league match.
On Wednesday, Ramirez led Costa Mesa to a tie against defending league champion Saddleback. He didn't record a goal, and neither did the Roadrunners, ranked No. 9 in the CIF Southern Section Division 5 poll, but it was still a good result for the Mustangs.
"In the 10-11 years of coaching at the youth level, I've only met a handful of kids that are as disciplined, as professional, as hard working as he is," Hernandez said of Ramirez, who plans to attend San Francisco State University and study kinesiology. "To me, he's one of the most impressive young men I have ever met."

About — and why — the review
ICTlogy, review of ICT4D, is a gathering of news, reflexions, articles about the role and impact of Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D), though it covers a wide range of disciplines directly or indicrectly related to ICT4D: the Digital Divide, e-Readiness, e-Inclusion, Digital Literacy, Open Access, Nonprofit Technology, ICT Reglulation, the Information Society, e-Learning.
ICTlogy began its way in October 21st, 2003, as the blog of both a practicioner and a researcher in the field of ICT4D. Blogs have, notwithstanding, two major drawbacks:
a) they are difficult to cite in (academic) bibliographies
b) have not already reached a legitimate status as scholarly literature
Hence, a review. ICTlogy, review of ICT4D, is nothing but the re-edition of the relevant blog articles (e.g. no "setup" categories or "hi" posts) in the shape of a review: an author, an editor, numbered issues, a subscription option, a contact for feedback and a valid ISSN. Now you can cite all articles. About their quality, time will tell.
Editorial Info
The review is monthly and you can access on-time updates (before month ends and last number issues) by subscribing here.

NEW LONDON, Conn. - Sophomore midfielder Andrew Bishara scored two goals, including a dramatic equalizer with under three minutes remaining in regulation, but it wasn't enough to overcome Coast Guard, as the Engineers fell in double overtime on Saturday afternoon, 3-2. The loss sends MIT's record to 3-6 on the season (0-3 NEWMAC), while Coast Guard improves to 6-2-1 and remains undefeated (2-0) in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference.
The Bears proved that every second of each half counts, as they scored in both the first and last minutes of the opening stanza. Tech found itself in a hole from the outset, as Coast Guard took the lead just 35 seconds into the contest when senior Ryan Poitinger scored off an assist from fellow senior Casey Steuer. The lead was extended to 2-0 with just 45 seconds remaining in the first half when Peter Deneen found Ben Weber for the finish.
The Cardinal and Gray refused to go down without a fight, however, and its efforts paid off when Bishara slashed the lead in half in the 65th minute. The Toledo, Ohio native then secured his second goal of the game - and third of the season - in the 87th minute to knot the game at 2-2. Both of his goals were unassisted.
Despite having their chances in the extra sessions, it wasn't to be for the Engineers, who conceded the game-winner to Steuer three minutes into the second overtime period.
Each team put its opponents keeper to the test, with both Tech and Coast Guard recording 23 shots apiece. Freshman Tim Olah made nine saves for the Bears, while sophomore Tom Caldwell stopped six shots for the Engineers.
MIT will look to end a five game losing streak when it begins a five game home-stand against Brandeis on Wednesday, Oct. 4 in a match that is slated for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff. Coast Guard's next game will take place on Saturday, Oct. 7 when it travels to Wheaton for a NEWMAC showdown at 1:00 p.m.

LIVINGSTON, Ala. - The Georgia Southwestern baseball team scored a run in the first inning, but was held scoreless the rest of the way as the University of West Alabama handed the Hurricanes a 6-1 loss on Sunday afternoon to complete a three-game weekend series sweep.
The Hurricanes fell to 2-4 this spring while West Alabama improved its record to 6-1.
Stephen Eldridge put GSW ahead early when he drove in Les Cromer with an RBI single to left center in the Hurricanes first at bat.
Southwestern had an opportunity to extend its lead in the third after Evan Alderman doubled to open the frame and the following batter, Josh Sanders, was hit by a pitch. Cromer moved both men over with a sacrifice bunt, but both were left stranded after the next two batters went down on strikes.
UWA proceeded to tie the game with a run in the bottom half of the third inning and take the lead with a pair of runs in the fifth.
The Tigers added their final three runs in the eighth.
Matthew Suggs (0-2) took the loss for the Hurrianes after pitching five innings and allowing three runs on only four hits. He walked four and struck out six. Zach Smith tossed two innings of relief before Justin Barnes threw a scoreless eighth.
UWA starter Fernando Gonzalez (1-0) threw six innings of two-hit ball. He was charged with one unearned run. Logan Colvin and Matt Betts teammed for the final three scoreless innings.
The Tigers' had four players finish with two hits apiece.
Southwestern returns for its home opener on Wednesday at 5 p.m. against Shorter University.

Just what I wanted to have to spend an entire day researching... how I'm going to spend hundreds of dollars and an entire weekend crawling around in fiberglass batting. Oh... joy.
On the bright side, we could literally make that money back in savings over the next five months, since we spend about $400 a month in gas - most of which is evidently going right out the roof.
And I did get to see the truly amazing construction of our house - the planks that support the roof are 18 inches wide, and the beams are all hand notched. It also appears that when they ripped off the coupla they used the original roof to cap the hole, so when I put it back on, maybe I'll be able to use the original roof again!

Apparently right before we picked them up there was someone that came from a ways away to see them. She was practically crying begging the shelter to just let her adopt the two after they told her they were going to rescue. They left with us and she later contacted us. She literally harassed the crap out of me trying to get me to circumvent our procedures and just let her pick them up. I then find out she happens to know one of our old fosters who moved out of state, great foster. Still doesn't mean we skip our processes. I politely tell her we cannot do that but we'd be quick in setting up their home visit and vet check. We do her home visit and vet check, all is well, do a meet and greet with her daughters and they are approved.
Fast forward to this morning, she changed her mind and doesn't think they are financially ready to take the two dogs on. Well good thing the shelter didn't let you just take them then huh? I mean, I appreciate that they gave this a lot of thought and not being ready but holy hell, she literally sent me novels in email trying to get us to just give the dogs to her and now this? Yeesh.
the neighbor's nasty shih tzu has gotten into MY yard twice today...and tried to bite me.

However, if your pipes are in bad shape, you can end up finding out that the clogs are what are keeping them from leaking. However, if you have already tried drano do NOT use anything else except maybe a snake you'll have a serious and very dangerous chemical reaction.
Furnace - what's it doing? Or not doing as the case may be.
Next door neighbor's dog - maybe leave Inara out there for a bit?
Jumping fence - back ties for self corrections are my favorite.
And try to have a good day... or a good bottle of wine.

Talk about not getting much respect, or getting too big a share of blame, but Texans QB Matt Schaub doesn't get much love in a ranking of NFL quarterbacks by Will Brinson of cbssports.com.
Aaron Rodgers of Green Bay at No. 1? OK, sure. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees ahead of Schaub. No argument.
But Tony Romo? Josh Freeman? Ryan Tannehill? Well, they are all ahead of Schaub.
Here's the ranking and the reasoning:
23. Matt Schaub, Texans: This may seem unfair given how close Schaub and Houston have come to making it to the Super Bowl. But their success isn't about the quarterback — it's about the system and running the ball and playing defense. The Texans gave Schaub a four-year extension in 2012 and it may be a decision they'll regret soon. Schaub's a very nice quarterback, but is he someone who's going to win a Super Bowl without a stout running game and a big-time defense? I really don't think so.

For more than eight centuries, Dublin Castle has been the historic heart of the Irish capital. Today the castle serves as venue for important state events, such as the inauguration of the various presidents of Ireland. In the past, the building has served a variety of functions, including as a jail, a treasury and a law court. For 7 centuries the castle was also the seat of English rule.
There are various tours that visitors to the castle can choose from. Specialised tours focus on specific topics such as the modern or traditional art collections. One of the tours concentrates entirely on the Irish crown jewels, which were stolen from here in 1907 and have never been found. The 44,000 square metre complex is located in a historically strategic location on the south side of the River Liffey.
Irish history is reflected in the castle's mixture of architectural styles. Since its foundation in 1204, the castle has undergone several thorough restorations, and each time a different generation left its own mark on the complex. In 1922 the castle was handed over to the Irish Free State. Today the complex encompasses government buildings, the State Apartments (the most important ceremonial halls in Ireland), museums, gardens, cafés and an international conference centre. Visitors may tour most of the castle grounds and museums on their own. The only exception are the State Apartments: these are only accessible on a special tour and accompanied by a tour guide.
"An investigative report by Scotland Yard disappeared just as mysteriously as the Crown jewels"
In 1907 the Irish Crown jewels were stolen from the castle. The circumstances were very suspicious: no door or lock was forced so it had to be an inside job, yet the culprit has never been found and an investigative report by the Scotland Yard vanished just as mysteriously as the jewels. Over the course of time many theories have emerged; most point to some sort of booze and sex scandal that has been covered up. The jewels have never been recovered.

Although very few people so far have reported seeing an angel, thousands of them have sensed or felt their presence at sometime or the other. There are many signs to tell that an angel or a divine being is around, as angels do give us a sign when they are working with us.
The most common of them is a seeing flashes, sparkles or trail of light for a moment. This is because the angels are made up of light and they glow in different colours. The other most common sign reported is a feeling of warmth around head, neck or face. Sometimes this feeling is associated with change in air pressure too which is perceived as a pressure on the crown area or in our ears.
Sometimes angels reach to us in the form of repeated number sequences called Angel Numbers (like 111, 4444, 555 etc.) Each number sequence has a message associated with it and if a particular sequence is seen repeatedly then it means that the message associated with the number is the guidance the angels are giving you right now.
Apart from the signs mentioned above, there are many other signs which the angels give us to make their presence known like seeing feathers around you, slight breeze in the room even when the windows are closed, cloud formation in the shape of angels, sounds of bells or chime or your name being called when no one is around, a pleasing fragrance from unknown source that lasts for a moment. The list is endless. Each one of us are going to feel the angels in our own unique and different ways depending upon our sensitivity and receptivity. If you have a strong feeling that you are in the presence of an angel then you most likely are because the unconditional love radiating from them is unmistakable.
Angels are ready waiting for our call of help and are happy to help always. While they are around us and working for us they make their presence felt. Look for signs in your life. How is that you are connecting to your angels today?
There are millions of angels who are working with the mankind on earth right now to bring about peace and happiness on earth. These angels belong to different spheres or categories. The Angelic Realm has a hierarchy of angels with each having different powers and specialties. The Angelic Realm has three spheres of angels consisting of nine orders, that is three in each sphere. The first one is the Heavenly Counsellors consisting of the Seraphim; the Cherubim; the Thrones, the second one is the Heavenly Governors consisting of the Dominions; the Virtues; the Powers and the third one is the Heavenly Messengers consisting of the Principalities; the Archangels; the Guardian Angels. The angels working with the people on earth belong to the third sphere and are discussed in detail further.
The Angels assigned to us from birth to stay by our side till death are known as Guardian Angels. They stay with us permanently during our stay on earth ensuring our safety. They are well familiar with our mission on earth and assist us in achieving our life purpose by motivating and guiding us throughout. There are at least two Guardian Angels with us always but one can invoke more than that as well.
Archnagels manages and supervises the guardian angels and other angels on earth. Archangel are very powerful and large. They do not have gender but we perceive them as male or female by their special names and energies. Few Archangels are mentioned in the holy texts of Bible, Kuran and ancient jewish texts. There are many Archangels but only 16 of them are currently working with mankind. They have a unique aura colour and speciality. The four major Archangels are discussed in detail.
The name means "he who is like God". He releases us from fear and all forms of negativity. He is associated with providing courage and protection. He is the most powerful Archangel and supervises other Archangels as well. It is believed that Archangel Michael has a sword of light in his hand and uses it to cut the cords of negativity around us. The aura colour associated with him is royal purple.
The name means "he who heals". He is in charge of all forms of healing. He heals diseases and sicknesses and painful situations in life and brings about comfort by detaching us from painful situations in life. He helps healers to enhance their healing skills. He is also known to assist travellers. The aura colour associated with him is emerald green.
The name means "God is light". He gives wisdom and new ideas and helps with setting up of new ventures. He is known to help us fulfill our Jaipurls and dreams by keeping us motivated and encouraged. He helps during natural calamities as it is believed that he warned Noah of the impending flood and helped him. The aura colour associated with him is pale yellow.
The name means "messenger of God". It is believed that Archangel Gabriel delivered the message to Mary about the birth of Jesus. Archangel Gabriel assists messengers like writers, teachers and public speakers. Also helps expectant parents with pregnancy, childbirth and adoption. The aura colour associated with her is Copper.
The other Archangels working with us are Archangel Ariel, Azrael, Chamuel, Haniel, Jeremiel, Jophiel, Metatron, Raguel, Raziel, Sandalphon, Zadkiel and Nathaniel. As each one of them have a speciality, we can connect with a particular Archangel and receive guidance and help in that particular area.

USDA Doesn't Want Tainted Meat Spoiling Trade
Next week will be the first Canadian check USDA has conducted in over three years and it comes in the middle of the Canada's biggest meat recall in history, so this portends to be a big deal. The fact that Canada has not had an audit visit in over three years immediately sent red flags up for me. It was another example of how Canada has received special treatment from USDA over the years that I believe can jeopardize the health and safety of U.S. consumers. With that as a historical backdrop and with the massive XL Foods recalls still on everyone's minds, what are the Canadian and U.S. governments proposing? Deregulation of the border inspection system. Food safety is not an area that should be deregulated. History dictates that we should strengthen and not weaken the food safety inspection system. Trade should not trump food safety.
