Indian-origin scientists have successfully developed a radical new technique that may kill brain tumours by hijacking them into toxic pits or areas of the body that are safer to operate on.
One factor that makes glioblastoma cancers so difficult to treat is that malignant cells from the tumours spread throughout the brain by following nerve fibres and blood vessels to invade new locations. Now, researchers have learned to hijack this migratory mechanism, turning it against the cancer by using a film of nanofibres thinner than human hair to lure tumour cells away.
Instead of invading new areas, the migrating cells latch onto the specially-designed nanofibres and follow them to a location – potentially outside the brain – where they can be captured and killed. Using this technique, researchers can partially move tumours from inoperable locations to more accessible ones. Though it would not eliminate the cancer, the new technique reduced the size of brain tumours in animal models, suggesting that this form of brain cancer might one day be treated more like a chronic disease, researchers said.
"We have designed a polymer thin film nanofibre that mimics the structure of nerves and blood vessels that brain tumour cells normally use to invade other parts of the brain," said Ravi Bellamkonda, lead investigator and chair of the Wallace H Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University.
"The cancer cells normally latch onto these natural structures and ride them like a monorail to other parts of the brain. By providing an attractive alternative fibre, we can efficiently move the tumours along a different path to a destination that we choose," said Bellamkonda.
Treating the Glioblastoma multiforme cancer, also known as GBM, is difficult because the aggressive and invasive cancer often develops in parts of the brain where surgeons are reluctant to operate.
Even if the primary tumour can be removed, however, it has often spread to other locations before being diagnosed. "The signalling pathways we were trying to activate to repair the spinal cord were the same pathways researchers would like to inactivate for glioblastomas," said first author of the study, Anjana Jain, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts.
Tumour cells typically invade healthy tissue by secreting enzymes that allow the invasion to take place, Jain said. That activity requires a significant amount of energy from the cancer cells.
"Our idea was to give the tumour cells a path of least resistance, one that resembles the natural structures in the brain, but is attractive because it does not require the cancer cells to expend any more energy," she said. Details of the technique were reported in the journal Nature Materials.

Virtual machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not running - Solved
A while back I had set up a Hyper-V virtual machine, but it had been a while since I've needed to use it again. The time came again recently as I needed a VM to do some OS-specific testing. I got everything set up and started my VM, but was given an error message that said "Virtual machine [name] could not be started because hypervisor is not running." I was a little surprised to see it, since I could see that I had created a VM in the past - however, I remembered a change related to Hyper-V that I had made recently.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM - Independent Sales Rep Access
Have you given your independent sales reps CRM licenses so they can access CRM directly, rather than going through the Portal? Do you want them to have visibility only to the accounts, opportunities and leads that they are personally working?
The following steps will help you achieve this via the use of Access Teams:
JSON Support in SQL Server
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) support and a long-awaited feature of SQL Server has been added to the 2016 version, which will allow you to exchange JSON data between applications and SQL Server, parse JSON formatted data so it can be stored in a relational format and convert relational data into JSON formatted data.
Using XRM Tooling Instead of XRM Client
If you've been using the class "CrmConnection" in the Microsoft.Xrm.Client assembly, starting with the CRM 2016 (and subsequent) SDK versions (version 8.x), it's no longer available. Instead, you'll need to connect using the CrmServiceClient class which is found in the Microsoft.Xrm.Tooling.Connector assembly. You can view the details here.

Dynamics 365 Online: How to fix a broken Notes control on a custom entity
After upgrading from CRM 2016 to Dynamics 365, we noticed that the Notes control on a form for one of our custom entities was no longer working properly. It would display, but there was no longer any way to add notes to the record:

Troubleshooting the "Managed Metadata Service or Connection is Currently Not Available" Error
Sometimes you run into an error message that can mean any one of several things has gone wrong, and there's no real way to know what is the true solution. The error "Managed Metadata Service or Connection is currently not available" in SharePoint is one of those error messages.
Dynamics 365/CRM 2016: How to Share Personal Views in the Mobile App
Whether you're a user that just wants to share a view with someone or you're an administrator/manager that would like to create and distribute personalized views, sharing personal views is a very common thing, so it's surprising that CRM for Tablets does not support it. Shared views that a user does not own do not display in the mobile app. Even worse, if the user has access to a dashboard that contains personal views, they'll receive a generic error:
Dynamics CRM: Add Items to an OptionSet
While working in Dynamics CRM, I needed to add several options to a few different optionsets on the Lead entity. Adding the options isn't difficult, but can be tedious and repetitive, so I didn't want to do it manually. I decided to leveraged the CRM SDK and used a LINQPad query to populate the optionset as shown in Figure 1.

text: Against the Rams and Baltimore. Even if the Steelers beat the Rams now they still dont even clinch a playoff spot yet and have to wait till Sunday to get help from either the Browns losing or the Titans losing because its a non conference win. The Ravens have just lost to the Dolphins too which is not good at all because it means they are going to be on a 9 game losing streak going into our game because they are not going to beat Seattle next week in Seattle. So you can bet your last dollar that the Ravens are going to play all out that last week against the Steelers to ruin their division title chances or god forbid their playoff chances for that matter which is no longer a mortal lock. A Steelers loss to the Rams on Thursday night and this team has a 65-75 percent chance of missing the playoffs. They hung with Green Bay for a good part of that game today so the Steelers had better show up Thursday night and be ready to play because you know the Rams will especially since it will be Marshall Faulk night and they will be retiring his number.

Crown copyright is a form of copyright claim used by the governments of the United Kingdom and a number of other Commonwealth realms.
In the United KingdomEdit
Crown copyright applies to all works produced by the British Government, subject to the condition that the qualification "Where a work is made by Her Majesty or by an officer or servant of the Crown in the course of his duties" is met. The Crown can also have copyrights assigned to it. There is also a small class of materials where the Crown claims the right to control reproduction outside normal copyright law due to Letters Patent issued under the royal prerogative. This material includes the King James Bible, and the Book of Common Prayer.
Prior to the 17th century, the executive - acting on behalf of the monarch, under the royal prerogative - controlled all printing, and the granting of licences to printers. During the 17th century, the Crown lost most of its rights, except with regard to the King James Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, Acts of Parliament and similar. Until 1911, there was no special status for the Crown, excepting those texts.
The Copyright Act 1911 removed the concept of common law copyright protection from British law, and it also provided specific protection for government works for the first time. Crown copyright was defined to extend to any work prepared or published by or under the direction or control of His Majesty or any Government department. The Copyright Act 1956 further extended Crown copyright protection by extending the definition to include every original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work made by or under the direction or control of Her Majesty or a Government department; sound recordings or cinematograph films made by or under the direction or control of Her Majesty or a Government department and works first published in the UK, if first published by or under the direction or control of Her Majesty or a Government department.
When the Copyrights Designs and Patents Act 1988 (the 1988 Act) came into force, the scope of the definition of Crown copyright was considerably reduced. Crown copyright was defined as subsisting when a "work is made by Her Majesty or by an officer or servant of the Crown in the course of his duties". Crown copyright was also defined as subsisting "in every Act of Parliament, Act of the Scottish Parliament, Act of the Northern Ireland Assemblyor Measure of the General Synod of the Church of England". All existing works in Crown copyright were continued as such.
However, some documents have Crown Copyright waived by the government, subject to certain conditions. This was introduced in a white paper in 2000 in order to improve access to government publications. There are 11 classes of copyrights for which waivers are granted. The document concerned, from Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO), is Future Management of Crown Copyright. Which documents are subject to waivers varies from time to time. The current list may be found on the official site.
Websites are reproducible unless otherwise indicated, but HMSO has stated in correspondence that they do not consider material under Crown Copyright redistributable under such licenses as the GFDL. For example, documents on the website of the Public Records Office" are subject to the following conditions:
The material featured on this site is subject to Crown copyright protection unless otherwise indicated. The Crown copyright protected material (other than the Royal Arms and departmental or agency logos) may be reproduced free of charge in any format or medium provided it is reproduced accurately and not used in a misleading context. Where any of the Crown copyright items on this site are being republished or copied to others, the source of the material must be identified and the copyright status acknowledged.
Images on this site may not be reproduced without payment of a fee to the Image Library.
The permission to reproduce Crown protected material does not extend to any material on this site which is identified as being the copyright of a third party. Authorisation to reproduce such material must be obtained from the copyright holders concerned.
The duration of Crown copyright varies depending whether material is published or unpublished. Unpublished material was originally subject to copyright protection in perpetuity. However, the 1988 Act removed this concept from British law. Transitional provisions apply for 50 years after the entry into force of the 1988 Act which mean that no unpublished material will lose its copyright protection until January 1, 2040. New Crown copyright material that is unpublished has copyright protection for 125 years from date of creation. Published Crown copyright material has protection for 50 years from date of publication. Those works protected under Letters Patent have perpetual copyright claimed over them despite being published. Works where copyright is assigned to the Crown by an author are subject to the normal term of protection for that particular type of work, for example life of the author plus 70 years for a literary work.
In AustraliaEdit
Pursuant to part VII of the Copyright Act 1968, the Australian Government owns copyright in any work, film or sound recording made by or under the direction or control of the Government, and any work first published by or under the direction or control of the Government.
An extensive review was carried out in 2004 and the findings were published in 2005 in the Copyright Law Review Committee's report. The chief recommendation was to end the distinction between the Crown and other copyright holders. In particular, the Committee was "emphatic" that the Crown lose its unique position of gaining copyright over material whenever it is the first publisher of such material. (For example, a previously unpublished short story, upon being published in a government work, would cease to belong to the author and would instead become Crown copyright, denying the author any future royalties.)
In CanadaEdit
Under section 12 of the Copyright Act, the government reserves its rights with respect to all documents produced by the Government of Canada.
- 12. Without prejudice to any rights or privileges of the Crown, where any work is, or has been, prepared or published by or under the direction or control of Her Majesty or any government department, the copyright in the work shall ... belong to Her Majesty and ... shall continue for the remainder of the calendar year of the first publication of the work and for a period of fifty years following the end of that calendar year
The Crown's ownership in its works is no more limited than those of any private persons. In practice, government materials are often licensed to the public for non-commercial use under the conditions that 1) due diligence is taken to ensure accuracy, 2) the source is identified, and 3) the material is not represented as an official version. Absent any licence available from the source of the material, there is no presumption that any government material is subject to such a licence.
Enforcement of this right has been relatively infrequent and so its effectiveness remains uncertain for certain materials. However, this is not true for some material. In the past few years the Crown has exercised its rights with respect to nautical maps which have been used for commercial companies for oil and gas exploration. This suggests that their right in crown copyright is likely enforceable.
In Canada, leaving aside the question of Crown prerogative, the federal government has legislative authority for copyright in the law. Section 12 of the Copyright Act is the provision dealing with Crown copyright. This section gives copyright to the Crown in works that are "prepared or published by or under the direction or control of Her Majesty or any government department."
In 1996 the "Reproduction of Federal Law Order"[1] was introduced by the federal government which gave permission for the public to reproduce federal legislation and regulations, as well as decisions by federally-enacted court and tribunals (eg. the Supreme Court, appellate courts). The only condition is that due diligence be taken to ensure accuracy and the document is not represented as an official version. Nevertheless, the order is only a licence to copy, thus the government can revoke future copying at its own discretion. Furthermore, the government still reserves its moral rights.
None of the provinces have introduced such a licencing scheme for their government documents. Instead, some provinces, such as Ontario, allow copying only under the condition that the document clearly acknowledges its unofficial nature and that it is labeled with the year of publication such as:
- © Queen's Printer for Ontario, 20—. This is an unofficial version of Government of Ontario legal materials.
The Information Highway Advisory Council, in its 1995 Final Report, recommended that Crown copyright generally, and not specifically in relation to the laws, should be maintained, but that the Crown in Right of Canada should, as a rule, place federal government information and data in the public domain.
It was also recommended that where Crown copyright is asserted for generating revenue, licensing should be based on the principles of non-exclusivity and the recovery of no more than the marginal costs incurred in the reproduction of the information or data ... the federal government should create and maintain an inventory of Crown works covered by intellectual property that is of potential interest to the learning community and the information production sector at large; negotiate nonexclusive licenses for their use on the basis of cost recovery for digitization, processing and distribution; and invite provincial and territorial governments to provide similar services.
The Yukon Territory and the federal government take the most liberal approach to Crown copyright in statutes and regulations, by permitting anyone to make copies without permission for any purpose – except commercial – while the other jurisdictions make fairly strongly worded prohibitions against copying the laws for anything other than personal use. It appears that perhaps the intent of these notices is to prevent copying by commercial publishers of the electronic version as prepared by the government, while permitting commercial publishers to manually type (or optically scan) the text of statutes if they wish to publish individual statutes (presumably with some value added to the raw legislative text).
Because the federal government was the leader in publishing statutes and regulations for free in Canada, and is responsible for the Copyright Act, it is important to take note of the Reproduction of Federal Law Order, PC 1996-1995, 19 December 1996. The preamble states the basic principles that support the copyright notice.
Whereas it is of fundamental importance to a democratic society that its law be widely known and that its citizens have unimpeded access to that law …. Anyone may, without charge or request for permission, reproduce enactments and consolidations of enactments of the Government of Canada, and decisions and reasons for decisions of federally-constituted courts and administrative tribunals, provided due diligence is exercised in ensuring the accuracy of the materials reproduced and the reproduction is not represented as an official version.
The federal Department of Justice has granted a free licence for copying federal law.
The Yukon Territory has perhaps the simplest copyright notice of all Canadian jurisdictions: "The legal material on this site may be reproduced, in whole or in part and by any means, without further permission from Yukon Justice."
By contrast, the other jurisdictions in Canada all restrict copying for commercial purposes (and sometimes for other purposes as well). One can speculate that the reason that some provinces assert copyright and limit electronic access to the law is to sell legal texts to legal publishers and the law profession. To ensure governments have something to sell, it is necessary to impose copyright limits and to ensure that the electronic access to the law that is provided is not as functional as it could be.
It should also be noted that governments are increasingly limiting the paper production and distribution of their laws and court decisions. This makes it all the more important for governments to provide the maximum access to electronic versions of the law.
Perhaps the most detailed copyright notice is from British Columbia, which refers to matters of ownership, reproduction, distribution, sale private study, and so on. It even tells the reader who to contact if they have any questions, and how to do so.
See also the copyright notices from Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Quebec and the Northwest Territories.
As would be expected, jurisdictions that do not publish their statutes for free on the Internet have tougher copyright notices.
The British Columbia Superior Courts notice reads:
- The decisions of the Superior Courts are made available on the Internet for the purpose of public information and research. The material on the database/web site may be used without permission provided that the material is accurately reproduced and an acknowledgement of the source of the work is included. Copying of the materials, in whole or in part, for resale or other commercial purposes is strictly prohibited unless authorized by the Superior Courts.
The question of who owns copyright in statutes and court and administrative tribunal decisions is one that is rarely litigated. It has been used by some governments to justify a refusal to publish the laws electronically and to justify using the laws to generate revenues. One way to challenge these arguments is to question the legal theory of copyright in the laws, but perhaps the better way is to focus on the policy choices and arguments relating to access to the laws.
In Tolmie v Attorney-General of Canada, Oct. 14, 1997 (F.C.T.D.), McGillis J dealt with a case where Mr. Tolmie requested, on 6 January 1995, under the Access to Information Act, the Revised Statutes of Canada in electronic form. "The preferred format is the existing WordPerfect 5.1 format that is presently used within Justice Canada for creating the Statutes. However, alternative formats such as the Folio format used on the CD-ROM produced for this purpose would be acceptable." On 20 August 1995, the Department of Justice published the electronic statutes and announced they would soon be published on CD-ROM, which occurred in October 1995. The CD-ROM was priced at $225.00. McGillis J rejected Mr. Tolmie's request on the grounds that the statutes were publicly available in electronic format and therefore excluded from the application of the Act under s 68(a).
In New ZealandEdit
Crown copyright in New Zealand is defined by Sections 2(1), 26 and 27 of the Copyright Act 1994. The Crown is the first owner of any copyright subsisting in any work created by a person who is employed or engaged by the Crown, under a contract of service, apprenticeship, or a contract for services. It covers works of the Queen in right of New Zealand, Ministers of the Crown, offices of Parliament and government departments. For Crown entities and State-owned enterprises, however, regular copyright provisions apply instead.
A term of 100 years applies under Section 26(3)(b), with the exception 25 years for typographical arrangements of published material.
At common law, and under the Copyright Acts until recently, the Crown acquired title by a kind of prerogative copyright in certain books or publications such as Acts of Parliament, Proclamations, and Orders in Council. However, there has been a deliberate divestment by the Crown of its copyright in law – principally in light of the policy considerations which hold that law should be freely available.
Section 27(1) defines a further exception to Crown copyright and copyright -- Bills, Acts of Parliament, regulations, bylaws, Hansard, tabled select committee reports, court judgments, tribunal judgments, Royal commission reports, commission of inquiry reports, ministerial inquiry reports and statutory inquiry reports do not carry any copyright, regardless of age. Section 27(1) came into effect on 1 April 2001. There is, in New Zealand, under s 27 of the Copyright Act 1994, no copyright in regulations.
Of course, the Section 27(1) exceptions apply in the original work, and do not apply in terms of new typographical editions by others, nor in annotations made by organisations such as legal publishers.

A lot of research suggests that alcohol should be bad for sex. Scientists have measured how alcohol affects penile swelling, vaginal engorgement, time required to achieve orgasm (both during intercourse and masturbation) and vaginal lubrication. The results? Alcohol inhibits all of these sexual responses. Erections are slower to rise and quicker to fall, vaginas are slower to lubricate, and orgasms are delayed.
And yet many people report that moderate amounts of alcohol are good for sex. In one of the largest surveys addressing the issue, 45% of men and 68% of women said that alcohol enhances their sexual enjoyment.
So what's going on? The answer to this apparent paradox lies in the old joke that the brain is the body's largest sex organ. Especially where alcohol is concerned, this is no joke at all – as about 40 male undergraduates from Rutgers ably demonstrated in a classic experiment conducted in 1976. It worked like this.
The male students were divided into 4 groups. One group was given vodka and tonic and were told it was vodka and tonic. Another group got just tonic, and were also told the truth about what they were drinking. The third and fourth groups, however, were lied to. The third group of men got vodka and tonic, but were told (and were led to believe by some simple tricks) that they were drinking plain tonic water. The last group was told they were getting alcohol, but in fact they simply got tonic water served to them in glasses smeared with a few drops of vodka to produce an alcohol smell.
After downing their drinks, each volunteer was outfitted with a variety of monitors to measure things like temperature, heart rate, and penile swelling. Thus wired, they settled in to watch an erotic video.
The results were striking. The subjects who thought they drank alcohol were most highly aroused – whether they actually consumed alcohol or not. The men who thought they drank alcohol and who actually got alcohol were the most highly aroused, while the men who thought they got alcohol but got only tonic were slightly less aroused, but still significantly more aroused than those who either got, or thought they got, tonic water. It was the belief in alcohol consumption that proved significant for sexual response, not the presence or absence of alcohol. The belief overcame any of the physiological dampening effects the alcohol might have had.
When it comes to alcohol, in other words, people quite often feel what they expect to feel. This process can obviously be self-reinforcing. The experience of an enhanced sexual encounter under the influence of alcohol can lead to increased expectancies of similar results the next time around.
Now, I'm not saying that alcohol has no effect at all. It most certainly does, as Shakespeare noted more than 400 years ago when he had the Porter in Macbeth observe that drink "provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance." All of the research on expectation and alcohol on sexual response used moderate amounts of booze. The blood alcohol levels among the Rutgers men, for instance, were equivalent to what would be found after the consumption of only 2 or 3 standard drinks over the course of an hour. (A standard drink is defined as a half-ounce of pure alcohol – the amount generally found in a can of beer, a 5 oz. glass of wine, or a 1.5 oz. shot of whiskey.)
If higher doses had been used in the experiments, it's likely that all the physical variables measured, including penile swelling, would be adversely affected. There are limits, in other words, to mind over matter. Given a high enough dose, all the expectation in the world won't rouse a penis (or clitoris) anesthetized by alcohol. A little alcohol may be good for desire, but too much will take away the ability.

Alamance Community College is asking for the community�s input on the qualities its next president should have.
And it�s making it easy for people to share their opinions.
The college has scheduled a public forum from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30 in the auditorium of its Graham campus.
College spokesman Ed Williams said participants will be asked what �traits and characteristics� they think the new president should have.
Martin Nadelman has been the college�s president since 1999. He announced in late 2012 he will retire effective Oct. 1 of this year.
Williams said the college�s trustees, who are responsible for hiring a new president, �hope to engage the larger community� in developing a template to guide them in selecting a new leader.
A subcommittee of the college�s board of trustees has been meeting to start the process of selecting a president. It has hired the N.C. Association of Community College Trustees as a consultant in the selection process.
The subcommittee is made up of Carl Steinbicker, who is chairman of the full board, along with Davy Davidson, Reid Dusenberry, Dick Fisher, Catherine Smith and Russell Wilson. Committee members agreed hiring a consultant could assist them on issues such as the best ways to get opinions from people both on and off campus.
In choosing a consulting firm, subcommittee members said they wanted a national search but also wanted an organization with experience working with community colleges in the state.
When Nadelman was selected, he came from another community college in North Carolina, but there were finalists from New Jersey and Texas.

- There is a single word that can be made with iiiiiiiiii which is i itself.
- Top Search results from google
2. And i am sure you don't really care about what iiiiiiiii is, So probably this is the place you should be.
3. Third reason you need to see this page is because here at abc2xyz.co we have a lot of fun things to do on the internet, Which is definitely better than searching for random alphabets like iiiiiiiii.

The Sunday Somethings, 16nov14November 16th, 2014
Something that makes me happy: Crafty days with Paula and Michelle! Yesterday, I got started on our Disney scrapbook and did some sewing.
Something I'm thinking: I'm thinking about Christmas!
Something I'm hoping: I hope the weather cooperates for our trip to Ohio and Kentucky coming up.
Something happening around the house: Gabe fixed the dishwasher!!! He thought of one more thing, and it worked. Hooray!
Something I'm reading: I finished Goldfinch, which I found to be a bit tedious. I enjoyed the first half better than the second. I read The One & Only, the newest by Emily Giffin. I was disappointed in that one! I also finished The Lavender Garden, which I liked better than the other two. It would have been a decent book club read, but it didn't blow my socks off or anything. I'm now reading Kiss and Spell, the 7th book in the Enchanted, Inc. series. It's light, fluffy, and enjoyable. Just what I needed.
Something Gabe is reading: Gabe finished Red Seas Under Red Skies. Since the last post, he's also read The Republic of Thieves, Prince of Fools, Annihilation, and Lock In. He's now reading City of Stairs.
Something I'm watching: We've been enjoying The Walking Dead and The Amazing Race. Gabe is keeping up with a few other shows, but we aren't watching too much at the moment. Our family went to see Big Hero 6, and we LOVED it! I also saw Gone Girl with book club peeps. It was interesting to see that movie after reading the book and knowing a bit about what was going to happen. The movie was pretty true to the book, for the most part.
Something I'm playing: Gabe has started playing games regularly on Monday nights. So far, they have played Caverna, Terra Mystica, Snowdonia, Concordia, Bruges, Glass Roads, Ra: The Dice Game. We have had a couple of dinner and games sessions with friends and played Quixx, Linko, and Walnut Grove. We had a games night, and I played Snowdonia, Splendor, Linko, Hey! That's my fish! and Telestrations. Gabe started over playing Zelda: The Skyward Sword. We realized we didn't get too far in that one!
Something I'm creating: I've been creating all kinds of things! Since the last post, I finished the WWDC book (and several of my coworkers also wanted to order a copy). I finished the Key West book from the girls trip in May. Audrey and Melisa ordered their copies! I started the Disney Cruise book from our trip back in February. I'm glad to finally start on that one, even if it is a bit daunting. I'm worried I'm not going to be able to fit it all in one book! I created our holiday cards, and I'm hoping to send them out just after Thanksgiving…but we'll see if that happens. I did some sewing yesterday, again. I made pillowcases out of fabric that Maddie picked out for both kids. I also made a few surprises.
Something about the grownups: I love my crafty days with Paula and Michelle! We just had one yesterday, and I felt like I accomplished quite a bit. Gabe has been enjoying his board gaming nights. He's getting to play some quality games. They are meeting about every other week. We had fun with the block party, especially the after party at the fire pit. We also had a great time with neighbors on Halloween. We enjoyed that it fell on a Friday this year, and the neighbors had another fire going as well as some fireworks. Good times. Gabe and I celebrated our 8th anniversary, and we had a great dinner at Maximillians. We went to a "romantic" movie and saw John Wick (haha). I had fun finally building the Lego Haunted House that I've had for 2 years, and Gabe put together the Ghostbusters car…an awesome combination. For the past several weeks, some of my coworkers and I have started having a shorter lunch and taking a long walk. The weather has been beautiful, and the trails around our campus are awesome. I've been walking 2-3 miles during lunch every day. I've also been tracking my foods and calories with myfitnesspal. I needed a little bit of a healthy reboot.
Something about both kiddos: After Maddie and I participated in the Chocolate 5k, we had a pile of Ghirardelli chocolates in different flavors. Our family held a taste test challenge with eleven varieties of chocolate. Cullen's favorite was Intense Dark, Maddie's was Dark Chocolate Truffle, Gabe's was Toffee Crunch, and mine was Dark Chocolate Mint. Gabe's least favorite was Hazelnut, mine was Sea Salt Caramel, and Maddie and Cullen both hated Dark Chocolate Mint. My favorite moment was when Cullen tasted that one and exclaimed, "That tastes like toothpaste!!!" He was horrified. I'm glad to know that Dark Chocolate Mint is safe from predators in my household (Gabe hates it, too.). The kids had fun with Halloween! We went to more houses this year, but we still covered a very small fraction of our neighborhood. Considering that they trade most of their candy to the Halloween witch, they don't really need to gather all that much. Each kid picked out ten pieces of candy to keep, and the witch took the rest of it in trade for small Lego sets. The kids designed their own jack-o-lanterns again this year. Maddie's was a simple smiley face, and Cullen's was a simple frowny face. Their imperfect designs crack me up.
Something Maddie is doing (6.5 years old): Maddie had a marathon challenge at school where we had to complete 26 miles over the course of a month and a half or so. The kids could walk or run the 26 miles, and Maddie completed it! It was a challenge mostly for us to find the time to get in some mileage. Maddie and I did a local Chocolate 5k, and I was so impressed that she ran the entire way. I couldn't believe it! The day before, she participated in Walk to School day, and she almost didn't make it less than a mile…so I was worried about how well she'd do over 3 miles. She was so proud of herself, so maybe we'll be doing some more 5ks in the future. Maddie was a beautiful Elsa, and somehow I was able to bobby pin her blonde wig enough so that it would stay on during trick or treating. We weren't sure how that was going to work! She will get another chance to wear the Elsa dress when I take her to see Disney on Ice later this year. It's Frozen themed, and she doesn't know that she will be going yet. Maddie's class had "Pumpkin Day" on Halloween, and I volunteered. This was a combination event with the other first grade classes, and they rotated to different stations in the different classrooms. I helped with a station where the kids brainstormed descriptive words for pumpkins. They then had to complete a worksheet with some of these descriptive words and measure a pumpkin in different ways (height, circumference). I thought it was a pretty smart move for the teachers to do something different on Halloween since the kids were going to be too excited to pay attention to regular instruction! They aren't allowed to do anything specific for Halloween. Maddie had been wiggling a loose tooth for over a month, and it FINALLY fell out on November 3rd. Well, more accurately, I gave it a final yank. She was so excited to lose her first tooth! The tooth fairy came and gave her a whole dollar (yeah, our tooth fairy is cheap). She didn't much like having the tooth yanked, but it was so loose that night at bedtime that I was seriously afraid that she might swallow it in her sleep. She lost one of the front ones on the bottom, and the one next to it is loose now. I imagine it will take some weeks before she loses it, though. It feels like her top front teeth are starting to get a little loose as well. I volunteered for Literacy Lunch and read some books to Maddie and three classmates. Gabe volunteered for Literacy Lunch once as well. He also volunteered for Otter Time, which is at the end of the day and involves helping kids with various academic areas and enrichment. Maddie is doing pretty well with piano, but it is hard to motivate her to practice at home. You'd think I was torturing her when I sit down with her at the piano. She does seem to enjoy it, so hopefully the practice will become less torturous. She's doing fantastic with swimming. We are hoping that she will be moving up to the next level and new challenges soon, but she's still benefitting from the current level. She continues to improve, and we haven't seen her stagnate in this class yet. Twice a week has really helped her, and she seems to love it. Maddie is tracked out and she went to her favorite art camp this week where they did Inuit art. She is going to the same art camp next week and will also be going to a new Lego and Technology camp during this track out.
Something Cullen is doing (4.5 years old): Cullen still often wakes up before the rest of the family. These days, he doesn't tend to sneak too many snacks as he has in the past. Sometimes, he does get his "breakfast toast" (which is what he calls his organic breakfast pastries). Frequently, he plays the iPad. He will play his usual games, and he's also figured out how to access his list on Netflix. One morning, I came out and he was playing the iPad. He had been banned from the iPad for a few days, so I said, "Cullen, you know you're not supposed to be playing the iPad." Then, I noticed a couple of men walk through the backyard. "Gabe, there are men in the yard, and I don't know what they are doing." Cullen says, "They told me what they are doing!" Um, what? Yep, that's right. Around 6:30am, the guys tasked with aerating our lawn knocked on the door and he answered it. By himself. When they asked where his parents were, he told them that his parents were sleeping. Within a couple of days, we had installed a double cylinder lock and keep the key out of reach. Cullen was an awesome superman for Halloween. He especially loved running to make his cape fly behind him (I didn't break it to him that the cape didn't really fly like he was envisioning). He ran out of steam before Maddie with trick or treating and was ready to return home. His class had a Halloween parade that morning…our last preschool fall parade! The parade was with all of the Children's House classrooms, and Gabe counted at least 12 Elsas and 19 superheroes. Our kids didn't exactly pick unique costumes this year. Cullen was sent home with a fever two days before Halloween, but thankfully he recovered quickly and didn't have to miss all the fun! Cullen had two other opportunities to wear his Halloween costume. His Kindermusik class wore costumes on their class before Halloween, and he went to a costume party for one of his best buddies in preschool to celebrate his birthday. I love when the kids can get more wear out of their costumes! The fake muscles cracked me up. When he put on his costume the first time, he had trouble with the stiff upper part with the muscles. He said, "I need someone to help me with my bras!" Um, not exactly son. Cullen went with me to vote. He was excited to accompany me, and I explained the process to him. When we left, he said, "That's it? That wasn't very fun? Why did we do that?" And then after I explained how important it is and our civic duty and all that, he asked, "Did we win?" Cullen had several more Lego classes, and they finished up the session. Cullen went to another birthday party where he played mini golf and rode in a go-kart. Cullen loves music class, and he has a talent for it as well. They are learning all about different percussion instruments and rhythms. He's doing pretty well with swimming and has a lot to learn. I'm curious to see how he does when we go to Great Wolf Lodge (soon!).
Something I am struggling with: You know, the usual. Writing these posts. It gets tedious when I neglect it for a month!
Something I'm looking forward to: In the next month or so…we have more swimming and music lessons. Thanksgiving. Great Wolf Lodge in Ohio and a trip to Kentucky. Dinners and lunches with friends. Book club. Doctor's and dental appointments. Art camp and Lego technology camp for Maddie. Our annual holiday poker tournament. Putting up our Christmas tree and decorations! Sending our holiday cards! Annual Christmas date with Audrey. Disney on Ice for Maddie and me. Rudolph play for the family.
Something captured: Elsa and Superman

Dossier - The Assassin part 3
Walkthrough - Dossier - The Assassin part 3
We're just about done on this floor for the time being, but still, we have to clean up any scraps we left behind. And by scraps, we of course mean enemy soldiers and mechs. If you were thorough in eliminating enemies in previous areas, then you shouldn't have more than a handful of foes left to deal with. If you're rushing through the area, however, then you can expect to be inundated by the final waves of enemies at the far end of this floor. Either way, conventional techniques work fine in dealing with the threat, so no worries at all (just keep using cover, remain patient, and go about your business from there). When all is quiet, scour the area for more medical supplies if needed. At the far end of the room, you'll see a large elevator door. Do not examine it yet. Instead, continue forward and swing leftward. You'll find a computer terminal that can be hacked, surrendering credits. You'll also find a Viper Sniper Rifle on the ground, and some heavy weapon ammunition in a nearby box. Be sure to gather all of those items before continuing.
Before examining the aforementioned elevator door, there's one more thing we have to do, and that is to examine a door just north of where the sniper rifle (et cetera) were just found. When you successfully hack open the door to this room, you'll find three more Salarian workers, similar to the injured worker you found back on the first floor. Though you pull a gun immediately upon finding these guys, you'll quickly realize that they aren't threats at all. Rather, it seems the assassin you are seeking was good-hearted enough to lock these guys away, hiding them from the mercenaries that seem hell-bent on eliminating all living and breathing entities in the building. You can speak with one of the Salarians at length about the situation here (earning Paragon or Renegade points in the process), but ultimately, you'll be able to free them, so you can go about your business unhindered. Before running out of the room and back to the elevator, however, be sure to grab the medical supplies, as well as credits from an unprotected computer terminal.
When you return to the elevator and finally examine it, you will call it down towards you. Take the advice of your party members, however, and immediately seek cover. That's because this elevator isn't coming down without some of its own occupants. When the door opens, Eclipse mercenary engineers will attack, in addition to some biotic mercenaries, and even a gigantic Krogan bounty hunter. The latter enemy is easily the biggest threat, so if you can, you'll want to focus on taking him out first. Then, deal with the residuals (hopefully your party members are doing that all the while). You don't have a lot of room to work with here, and thus, there's not a lot of room for error either, but you should survive the onslaught long enough to gain access to the elevator yourself, which you can then take up to the next floor in earnest.
When you arrive on the next floor, sit tight for an important cutscene. As the elevator heads up, you'll spot a mercenary, who is speaking with his handlers via a radio. After cockily letting his friends know that he doesn't need reinforcements, the party will automatically sneak up behind him, guns drawn. The mercenary doesn't have a chance in hell of responding in kind, and thus a conversation with him will begin instead of a gunfight. The mercenary is hard-as-nails at first, refusing to give you any information. Renegades can kill the guard outright via a quicktime event, or kill him later on by choosing to do so via the conversation tree. Paragons, however, can be patient with the mercenary, convincing him that his life is worth more than throwing it away for a mercenary leader. Either way, whether the mercenary lives or dies, you'll regain control following the cutscene.

Tavenner aims to break CMS curse
Marilyn Tavenner is going to have to break seven years of bad luck if she's going to get confirmed by the Senate to run Medicare, Medicaid and much of the federal health reform law.
Seven years is how long it's been since the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has had someone in the top job who had gotten through Senate confirmation. Since then, nominees from both parties have been tripped up by the politics of health care — whether the Children's Health Insurance Program or the more sweeping health reform law — and presidents have delayed nominations to avoid the inevitable controversy.
Story Continued Below
The CMS administrator's job is a sub-Cabinet position, but under both Democrats and Republicans, it's become one of the most politically turbulent posts in town. Gone are the days when even during the Clinton-era fights about health reform a nominee could sail through the Senate — a 45-minute hearing and no opposition.
Today, the agency's wide jurisdiction and massive budget have provided loads of fodder for scuffing up nominees or discouraging presidents from even putting a name up for the job. And that void at the top can hurt CMS, according to some of the people who have been in the top job.
What happens to Tavenner, a generally well-regarded former nurse and hospital administrator who has avoided controversy and can count House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in her corner, is unclear. If she gets through a Senate vote, she'd be the first confirmed CMS administrator since 2006, when Mark McClellan left the post during the George W. Bush administration.
Even before McClellan left, tensions were growing as entitlements became more controversial and nominees for any administration job got more scrutiny. After McClellan, three different acting administrators served out the remainder of the Bush administration. President Barack Obama is on his third acting administrator.
If there is a fight over Tavenner's nomination, it wouldn't really be about her — it would be over Medicare's future, the federal government's role in Medicaid and the implementation of Obama's health reform law.
But so far, there are no signs that the Senate Finance Committee wants to move quickly on Tavenner's nomination and risk that fight.
The White House nominated her in late 2011 to succeed Donald Berwick — another Medicare chief who couldn't get confirmed — and the Finance Committee never held a hearing. Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said last year that he didn't plan to hold a hearing because he thought it was clear she wouldn't get past Senate Republicans.
Her nomination expired at the end of the 112th Congress. The White House has yet to renominate her, but it is expected to. It would then be up to Baucus's committee to schedule a confirmation hearing. Asked recently about whether he would act soon, Baucus told POLITICO, "I'll have to give it some thought."

Claude Francis Alexander was born in Leicester in 1893, the eldest son of George Alexander (1870-1949) and Sarah Mutton (1872-1927). Claude and his siblings Reginald George (1895-1955), Charles (1897-1925) and Marjorie Florence (1910-) lived firstly at one end of Hartopp Road – number 116 – and then at the other. When Claude and Reginald signed up to join the Territorial Army it was while the family was living at number 9 Hartopp Road. The family were Baptists.
Claude joined the Leicestershire Regiment in October 1914, when he was working as a clerk for a shoe manufacturer. He started as a private but was promoted to lance corporal in 1916, and 5 months later to corporal. Claude served in France, returning home briefly every year. In 1917 he suffered a wound to his left knee and spent a couple of months in hospital in Bristol, but returned to France and was killed on 17th July 1918, less than three months before the end of the war. He is buried at Fouquieres-les-Bethune, Pas de Calais, along with 386 of his compatriots, mainly fellow Territorial forces. He never married.
Claude's brother Reginald survived the war. He joined the Territorial Army in 1913 aged just 17 and just 5 feet and 5 inches tall when he was a clothing dresser in the emply of Messrs Thorneloe Clarkson (in Northampton Street). Sadly records of Reginald's full service are lost, but we do know that he married Doris Stuffins in 1928 and lived in Leicester until his death in 1955.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Retired Gen. Alexander Haig Jr., a top official to three U.S. presidents, died Saturday at age 85 at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, officials said.
Haig was admitted to Johns Hopkins Jan. 28 with an infection and died at 1:30 a.m. Saturday, hospital spokesman Gary Stephenson told CNN.
Haig, a four-star Army general, served as commander of NATO and secretary of state under Ronald Reagan, and in 1988 ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination. Haig also served as a senior adviser in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon.
Haig gained notoriety in 1981 after President Reagan was shot and wounded and then Vice President George H.W. Bush was en route from Texas to Washington.
"As of now, I am in control here, in the White House, pending the return of the vice president," Haig declared shortly after the shooting.
Haig was born in Bala Cynwyd, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia, and attended the University of Notre Dame for two years before transferring to the U.S. Military Academy in 1944. After graduation in 1947, he served in Japan and led combat units in Korea and in Vietnam.

Actuaries design financial programs which focus on life, health, property, casualty, retirement, demographic, economic and investment possibilities. This is accomplished by using statistical and economic techniques to evaluate the financial, economic and business implications of future events.
Actuaries achieve professional status by passing a series of qualifying examinations administered by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS).

Setting up tester in the software has problems - there is no supernova elite listed. Tried using the plus instead. ok tester listed. now try downloading data. Seems to receive it all ok from the tester but then when it starts to process the data i get two messages for every asset. 'IDispatch error #3...' with an OK button and no instruction and then when ok is clicked a window with ' unknown error 0x800aoc93' at the top, an instruction that says 'operation is not allowed in this context@ and an ok button.

TOKYO, March 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced that it will release the open beta version of PlayStation®Suite SDK*(1) to content developers in April 2012 and the official version later this year. Through the introduction of these SDKs, SCE will offer a more streamlined content development environment for content developers — from large game development companies to small, independent shops — and further expand the world of PlayStation® to open operating system based portable devices.
In November 2011, SCE released the closed beta version of PlayStation®Suite SDK to limited content developers in Japan, United States and the United Kingdom. The upcoming open beta version incorporates their feedback and will dramatically enhance convenience and efficiency of the content development environment. The phased rollout of the open beta version will start in April 2012 free of charge and expand target countries beyond Japan, United States and the United Kingdom. Developers will also be able to conduct performance verification of their content developed with the open beta version on PlayStation®Vita.
SCE will also release the official version of PlayStation®Suite SDK at $99 US annually later this year, allowing content developers to have their content distributed through the PlayStation®Store*(2) on a commercial basis. Through the official version, content developers will also be able to seamlessly continue to develop content which was created with the open beta or the closed beta versions.
Furthermore, SCE will be adding content for PlayStation®Suite in Japan, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Australia. The phased rollout of the update will start later this year. The phased rollout will include improving the PlayStation®Suite presence on PlayStation®Store for users who want to enjoy a variety of content with ease and convenience on their PlayStation™Certified devices. SCE will also deliver content created through the official version of PlayStation®Suite SDK after the necessary procedure is completed.
As of March 7, 2012, the line-up of PlayStation™Certified devices includes Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ acro, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ acro HD, Xperia™ S, Xperia™ ion*(3) from Sony Mobile Communications AB, and "Sony Tablet" S and "Sony Tablet" P from Sony Corporation. SCE will continue to further accelerate the expansion of PlayStation™Certified devices.
Through PlayStation®Suite, SCE will deploy various measures to support content developers in their business, and expand the PlayStation® entertainment experience on an open operating system.
*(1) Software Development Kit is a set of development tools and software libraries. Developers are able to obtain this SDK by signing a license agreement with SCE.
*(2) Users can download vast digital content including games through PlayStation Store for PS3, PSP, PS Vita and PS Certified devices.
*(3) Model name may vary by region.

Cakespy: Why did you start your site?
Cannelle et Vanille: I left work to take care of my son and the first year after he was born, I realized I had not been baking enough and something was missing in my life. I didn't really know what blogs were until a friend of mine introduced me to Cupcake Bakeshop and then I found Tartelette. One Sunday afternoon, I just started a blog out of the blue and I haven't stopped since.
CS: There's no delicate way to say it: your site is food porn. How does it feel to know that all over the world, people are drooling over your site?
CV: It feels great! I never thought so many people would follow my blog but I love thinking that every dessert I make and every photo I take can make one person smile. It still amazes me.
CS: It seems like a lot of people who begin blogs / sites dedicated to their passion find that it really changes the way they look at the world. How has your site changed life / the way you look at baking?
CV: It really hasn't changed the way I look at baking. I really just bake what comes to me naturally. But what I have found is that I have struck friendships with people that I would have never met in any other way.
CS: You're from Basque country. What foods do you miss from home?
CV: So many to count… little tiny green peppers from Gernika, fresh fish, red beans from Tolosa, great produce, mamia and my uncle's puff pastry!
CV: "Repulsive" is a harsh word… I wouldn't say repulsive. I think there are many people in this country who enjoy fine food. I don't mean expensive food per se, I mean people that know how to identify fresh fish, how to smell bread or pick great fruit. But I think that the masses are still way behind of how food is viewed in other countries such as my own.
CS: Following up on that point, a while back you actually sent us some of your delectable lemon-olive oil madeleines. Well, I (Head Spy Jessie) personally would like to admit that I hoarded them and shared only one with Mr. Cakespy. Does this make me a bad person?
CV: No, it makes me laugh! It reminds me of myself when I was 7 years old and my grandmother gave me a small white chocolate Nestle bar. I was holding the chocolate bar when my brothers entered the room and I stuffed it all in my mouth, all at once, so I didn't have to share it with them!
CV: It would definitely be my grandfather Angel who was also a pastry chef. A fine one if I may say so. He retired when I was about 9 years old so I never had a chance to work with him.
CS: You have pretty much the cutest son, like, ever. What's his favorite dessert?
CV: He loves everything and it can be a problem sometimes. He particularly likes my banana bread but will try anything I give him.
CS: If pressed, what would you say the next big thing will be in baking or baked goods?
CV: I think small and delicate will stick around. I like the idea of a small treat. I like leaving wanting more. I also think a natural and rustic approach to food is necessary. I don't think this is a new idea at all, but I see a lot of focus on it once again.
CS: Does your family ever get pissed off that they can't eat dessert til your photo shoot is over?
CV: Yes and they drive me insane! The pressure is always on. I sometimes have to hide things in unexpected places so they don't disappear before the photo shoot.
CV: It's hard to say. Baking is almost like an impulse for me. Sometimes I feel like an idea comes over my body and I must transform it into something sweet. It's like purging, otherwise I go insane.
I think as of now, my goal is for me to become a better photographer. That's where I am at the moment.

People need to know what teachers are dealing with these days! Who would have thought that an elementary school teacher would be so overwhelmed, so stressed out, and so overworked, that she would have to stay up on several week nights past 11 pm!
After 18 years in this profession, I thought things would become a little easier; with experience, things become second nature, you know? However, administration seems to look for more ways to bring us down, so we're practically crawling and scraping our way across the shiny floors.
Too much to describe here, and I don't wish to sound so terribly negative. But a very sad thing is happening in schools today, at least where I'm at. They are wearing us down. We are becoming tired of fighting the good fight. Morale is low. People smile weakly at each other in the hallways, speedwalking the kids to the next class, rushing to grade-level meetings where we will be told of yet another assessment that will determine what we need to focus on.
Focus. We're not able to focus any longer. There are too many foci at a time, I fear we will only be mediocre in the end.
They tell us the big focus this year is science, to incorporate it in every way possible, especially throughout the literacy block. In fact, we've been told to put aside a lot of the literature, and to use the science text and science leveled readers to teach reading. (Wow.)
At the same time, we are to focus on writing, and vocabulary. Infuse it in all areas.
And test. Benchmark tests. Quarterly tests. On-line tests. State assessments. Friday tests. Just last week I gave my 4th graders a district math test, 53 pages long, that took two days!
I'm not going anywhere. But I feel for the newer teachers who are just coming in to this field, and feeling like they will walk right back out. And I hate seeing so many colleagues becoming resentful and tired.
I feel some of that bitterness growing inside me, so I try my best to talk myself out of it on the drive to work. My kids need to see a cheerful and energetic person in the front of the room. They will get just that. I love my job, I love my kids, I love the art and science of teaching.
But I hate what has happened to school.

White Papers and Application Notes
Numerical Simulation of Pulsed TIG Welding Partial and Full PenetrationA. Traidia[1][2], F. Roger[1], and E. Guyot[2]
[1]Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Techniques Avancées, Palaiseau, France
[2]AREVA NP, Centre Technique Soudage, France
In this poster, a numerical model of spot pulsed current TIG welding for partially and fully penetrated weld pools is presented. Heat transfer and fluid flow in the weld pool driven by the combination of electromagnetic force, buoyancy force, surface tension gradient and latent heat are included in our model. A new formulation of the electromagnetic problem is introduced to take into account eddy current in the weld pool. The shape of the free deformable surface under the action of pulsed arc force is also handled after the magneto-hydrodynamic calculation. We compare the influence of various pulsed welding parameters such as pulse frequency and current ratio on the weld quality. Experimental study is conducted to compare our numerical prediction with welding macrographies. It shows a real good agreement of the model.
