BOOKED OUT! We are no longer taking bookings for this workshop as it is over-subscribed. We will be offering this workshop again in 2013 detail to follow.
This workshop brings participants 'from zero to fairly capable' in a number of statistical techniques important for quantitative studies in the social sciences. Participants will be able to determine which 'tests' to perform on data and when to apply them, how to write the stuff up, and (fundamentally) how to go about constructing research questions and data collection instruments to be able to run these tests without complication or trying to retrofit. Further, this workshop will (at least somewhat) address any potential worries persons may have about all things statistical.
We'll see things like descriptive analysis, charting, how to work with various data types and how they relate to statistical tests, how to know what test to run, how to read the output, how to report results, and we'll meet stuff such as correlations, regression, t-tests and various analyses of variance methods, factor analysis, parametric and non-parametrics, and more. We'll see and use plenty of examples, all social science focused. Not scary, really - it's all about quantitative skills. Come if you don't have quantitative skills, but want some. A 'one-day' format will get everyone off the ground, and participants will know how to advance the skills learned. The workshop will assume zero knowledge of stats.
Participants will their own laptop, with SPSS up and running on it. Download SPSS from http://www.nuigalway.ie/information-solutions-and-services/staff/software/spss.html. Participants will need to request a (site) licence code from ISS. Of course, all this needs to be done in advance of the workshop.

Big Buys of Veritas Asset Management
Aubrey is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Veritas Asset Management (UK) Ltd. is an independent asset management firm wholly owned by its employees. Its investment philosophy focuses on growing and protecting the real value of its clients' assets. The firm manages funds and portfolios through long-only or long-short strategies with an objective to deliver real returns for its clients in the long term. It is also known for its strong risk management controls. After its merger with Real Return Group in 2004, Veritas has made remarkable progress commercially. Among the well-known products of Veritas are the Veritas Global Equity Income and Veritas Global Focus. Both funds have been outperforming the MSCI World Index for many years already and have been awarded the Morningstar European Fund Manager of the Year for Global Equity in 2012.
The fourth quarter 13F filing of Veritas shows it had $3.131 billion assets under management. Its portfolio was composed of only 22 stocks. It did not initiate a new position, but rather increased its stake in 12. Among the big buys of Veritas to add to its existing holdings were Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Citigroup (NYSE: C), BP (NYSE: BP), Unitedhealth Group (NYSE: UNH), and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). Let's see how these stocks are performing.
Sources: Finviz.com and whalewisdom.com; prices as of Jan. 31, 2013
Veritas increased its stake in Microsoft by 60 percent in the fourth quarter, bringing the shares of Microsoft to 14.01% of its portfolio. It is currently the firm's top holding. Veritas had concretely exhibited the discipline of buying low when the company's stock price went into a dive during the end of the year. The share price has improved ever since; a brilliant move so far for Veritas.
Source: Finviz.com
Microsoft's growth prospects are encouraging. The EPS growth estimate for the next year is 10.88%, a significant recovery from the contraction in its EPS this year. The company remains a highly attractive addition to every portfolio with a resurrected profit margin of 21.20%, a sound financial state, and healthy pricing (as shown by a P/E ratio of 15.30 and a forward P/E of 8.81). These add to the fact that it is one of the stocks highly favored for its impressive dividend payment record. The annualized payment has been increasing consistently by an average of about 14% within the last 7 seven years.
Source: Nasdaq.com
Veritas also increased its stake in Citigroup by 14 percent during the last quarter of 2012. The firm's fourth-largest holding comprised 8.97% of its total portfolio. The fund manager initiated its position in Citigroup in the fourth quarter of 2011 and has been increasing its shares ever since.
Source: Finviz.com
Although the company experienced negative growth this year (-30.60%), the growth estimate for next year is 12.83%. The company faces challenges with its declining revenues. Nonetheless, it remains strong in terms of profitability. Also, while its operations are still largely financed by debt, the ratio has been declining. As of Jan. 30, 2013, the debt-equity ratio is 2.66, lower than last year's first quarter-end ratio at 3.226. Citigroup currently has a healthy P/E ratio of 16.85 and a PEG of 1.45. Meanwhile, the dividend amount, which used to be as high as $0.54, has now stabilized at $0.01 per share.
Veritas purchased an additional 25% of BP shares; the holding represented 4.32% of the fund manager's total portfolio. The firm initiated its stake in the second quarter of the previous year and has since been buying additional shares. BP has shown a remarkable improvement in terms of its EPS. In fact, the third quarter report has surpassed consensus by a wide margin of 25%. The earnings forecast for the company is as high as 13.93% in 2015.
Source: Finviz.com
Meanwhile, BP remains undervalued with its estimated P/E ratio at 8.15 and PEG of 1.71. The company remains financially sound with its current debt ratio of 0.42. It has also made remarkable improvements in its dividend payment. It is recalled that the amount had drastically declined in 2011 from a peak of $0.84 per share in 2010. The latest dividend paid by BP was $0.54, which is nearing its 2006 levels. With such a performance and the recent liberating decision coming from the US Department of Justice over the oil spill cases in the Gulf of Mexico, BP is becoming a good-looking addition to an investor's portfolio.
Unitedhealth Group
Veritas increased its shares in Unitedhealth Group by 9%; it initiated this position in the fourth quarter of 2011. UNH has encouraging growth prospects. Estimates show that EPS growth this year is at 11.68% and will likely to be sustained in the next 5 years. UnitedHealth, a company that offers diversified health services, had surpassed consensus for its quarterly earnings three times in 2012. This is attributed to its robust sales performance. In fact, the quarterly revenue is up 11% year-on-year. The P/E ratio of 10.46 and PEG of 0.90 make UNH a healthy addition to an investor's portfolio.
Source: Finviz.com
UNH is also a top dividend stock. It exhibited an outstanding increase in payment from a mere $0.03 in the first quarter of 2010 to $0.125 in the subsequent quarter. In the past 2 years, the annualized dividend has been rising at an average rate of 34%. It offers an undoubtedly attractive opportunity for income-seeking investors.
Source: Nasdaq.com
Veritas purchased 39,100 shares of Google in the fourth quarter; the holding represented 10.44% of the firm's portfolio. It initiated the stake in the fourth quarter of 2011, and has since been consistently increasing its shares in the company. Google continues to amass revenues; the quarterly amount has grown by 36.23% year-over-year based on a Finviz.com compilation. The EPS growth estimate for next year is 17.51% and this double-digit growth is expected for the next 5 years.
Source: Finviz.com
The giant tech company operates at a net margin of 21.50%. Its healthy P/E ratio of 23.28 and PEG of 1.58 show encouraging growth prospects for Google. Meanwhile, Google's futuristic Google Glass is currently on the table of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for review. The Internet-connected headset has Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth radios.
Indeed, Veritas shows in its recent moves its exemplary management strategies. I believe each of these buys provides great opportunities for growth that every investor has to consider.

Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
Discussions about Holistic Health and Alternative Medicine.
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
Share |
Correct me if I'm wrong ciscop, but I believe the main reason doctors don't vaccinate their own family members is because legally speaking, they cannot bill insurance for that procedure so they get their nurse or someone else to do it. I also believe there is some kind of oath that physicians take that states they will not perform medical procedures on their family. Anyone aware of that?
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
OHHH!! really?
i didnt think it like that i thought about it
like.. THEY'LL never recomend their family to do it
not that they do it themselves
For every person who reads this valuable book there are hundreds of naïve souls who would prefer to have their spines tingled by a sensational but worthless potboiler by some hack journalist of the paranormal. You who now read these sentences join a small but wiser minority. Martin Gaardner (Psychology of the Psychic)
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
Looking at the pictures you posted ND while eating my Beef Stew, I don't believe I have too much decision to weigh. In fact, I think I'm going first thing in the morning to make sure I'm up to date!
I did receive the anthrax vaccination a few years ago while there was still some debate on it's usefullness against the risk. Made me sicker than dog for a few days after each one (I had to take 4 follow-ups), but now, if any of you ever get an envelope in the mail with white powder in it, give me a call and I'll handle it for you!
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
People might not know understand why the backlash against vaccinations has not had dramatic effects. Of course, there are kids who get polio that should not. There are kids that become extremely ill that should not.
It's known as herd immunity.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity
Even though a vaccine may not protect everyone equally or in some cases may fail to protect, if enough people are protected, then the 'herd' as a whole is protected. If you look at the threshold table you'll see that the threshold is high for pertussis, aka whooping cough.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pertussis
In the 1970s there was a large backlash against vaccinations and in particular pertussis.
As you can see from the herd immunity chart it takes a high vaccination rate to keep the disease under control. With a drop in the use of the vaccine the disease easily took off.
Let's say the disease is allowed to take off. What happens? Even today with efforts to control it there are many deaths.
So even if a friend, or a friend of a friend, suggests that they didn't immunize their kids and nothing happened, think twice. People that avoid the vaccine can lead to the reemergence of disease and when it does they are the ones that are hit.
Scimitars were not available - beware January 19, 2038 is upon us.
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
Question: What makes you think that vaccines are all about safety, rather than about profits for Big Pharma?
Have you seen the documentary "Vaccine Nation"? It features many credible experts, including Barbara Joe Fisher, the leading expert on vaccines, who says that "it is a certainty that vaccines are not safe". One couple featured in the film even had their baby die from a vaccine. I showed it to my girlfriend and she said "Why didn't you show it to me before? Then I wouldn't have given our son all those vaccines."
Here it is in its entirety:
So why do doctors keep lying and telling everyone that vaccines are completely safe?
"Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking." - Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
Scepcop, vaccines are not 100% safe. No medication that actually does something is. There are side effects, and in a small percentage of people this can even be serious.
But you must compare this small group of people who have adverse effects to the large group of people who will be spared horrible fatal diseases. The numbers aren't even close. Do you really want to see a resurgence of smallpox? If you had been around during a smallpox epidemic, what do you think your reaction would have been to the vaccines? It is a numbers game.
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
Then why do doctors keep telling people that they are safe? How do you know these numbers haven't been manipulated? The tobacco industry can manipulate numbers easily, as you know.
Why do you believe that vaccines are all about safety, rather than profits? What is your basis?
What do you think of the cervical cancer vaccine? Do you think all girls should get it, just in case, as Big Pharma urges?
You live in fear, it seems, thus you are in a low vibrational state of consciousness, as David Icke would say.

Check this out. I asked an expat friend this question:
Check out his revealing reply that will drop your jaw...
Skeptics, how do you explain the above?

Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
This looks like a presentation worth watching. See film below.
Desiree L. Rover, medical research journalist and author, presented "Vaccinations, Weapons of Mass Destruction" on August 1, 2009 at the "State of the Planet" conference, in Amsterdam, Netherlands, put on by Groundcrew Amsterdam.
In her talk, she outlines the information she has been researching since her son died because of the chemotherapy that he got for a cancer originating from a vaccine. She presents many facts and emphatically encourages the audience to check out those facts for themselves.
We feel the information presented in this video is so critical to all humans that we would like to encourage you to take this video "viral." By that we mean, please send the link of this video to family and friends... and encourage them to also pass it forward so that everyone learns about this... Only by doing so, can everyone make an informed decision.
If you would like to contact Desiree, please write her at email@example.com
Special note from Desiree:
In my talk I stated that in 1997 the genetic remnants of the 1918 virus had been taken from the kidney tissues of Lucy, an obese Inuit lady victim... It actually were her lungs which Jefferey Taubenberger (Army Institute of Pathology) and his team removed from her body after having desecrated the permafrost graves of the 72 1918 flu victims of Brevig Mission, Alaska. This village counted only 8 survivors.
Johan Hultin was part of this 1997 team; it was his second visit. Already in 1951 he had succeeded in retrieving the virus in Brevig, but he lacked the necessary computer power to rebuild it then. It was when in 1997 supercomputers got installed at Fort Detrick (America's biowar lab founded by George W. Merck in 1942) that government agencies, scientists and pharmaceutical companies scrambled to get to Alaska and try again. This time they found 'Lucy', and with the help of the supercomputers Jeffery Taubenberger actually rebuilt the 1918 virus in 2003 and published its genetic sequence on the internet.

Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
They are reasonably safe. The risks of adverse reaction are quite low and completely outweighed by the risk of disease. All medications have side effects. We compare the risk to the reward. WIth vaccines, its not even close. You dodged my question about wishing to see a return of smallpox. Do you doubt that vaccines eradicated smallpox?
They are about safety, and profits.
I don't know anything about it. Can you please tell me what you think Big Pharma's argument is?
You don't think fear is a useful emotion? It is meant to keep us alive. People who live without fear will likely wind up dead. I do fear a return of smallpox. Why don't you?
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
Too busy fearing vaccines?
"It is proper for you to doubt ... do not go upon report ... do not go upon tradition ... do not go upon hear-say." ~ Buddha
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
I couldn't agree more!
The logical flaw of the OP is concluding that just because SOME vaccines may have been harmful and unnecessary that ALL of them are.
For example, there was the milk poisoning scandal in China. Just because some milk in China was poisoned, you can't conclude that all the milk in the world is harmful for children. Although you could start sending paranoid emails to people: "MILK KILLS!! Shocking NWO Conspiracy Exposed! Why don't we ever see world leaders drinking milk on TV? *Gasp* It's a conspiracy! They all know it's dangerous! STAND UP TO THE NWO BY BOYCOTTING THAT EVIL, WHITE LIQUID!!"
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
If mom and dad of this boy are both blond (as is somewhat implied by the 'normal' comment), I would suggest looking into the possibility that someone had an affair... genetic give-away...
My brother and I are both fully vaccinated -- my mother made sure of this -- and we are far healthier than the families we married into, who are also vaccinated. I suspect this has more to do with a healthy diet, than with anything else.
My nephew is not vaccinated, and is still healthy. My parents (and I) have grave concerns about this -- they witnessed the polio pandemic first-hand. They had schoolfriends die or become disabled. Additionally, my mother had a sibling die from whooping cough. These kinds of concerns disappeared with the advent of innoculations.
I am lucky enough to be of a generation that didn't have to worry that every little illness could be something worse than a cold or flu. In my generation, death from disease is more of an unusual tragedy than a common, almost expected occurance. That vaccines have changed the face of our society, I have no doubt, just as surgery has, but like all things to do with the human body, it carries some risk.
"There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." -- Oscar Wilde
Re: Are vaccines a dangerous scam?
These personal little annecdotes about who was vaccinated vs. who got sick (or fat WTF?) are not very helpful in this question. No one is suggesting that if you don't get vaccination you will get some horrible disease. These are looked at on the group level. It is about achieving herd immunity: if enough people are vaccinated it can prevent the illness from getting into the community, thereby benefiting those who were not vaccinated as well. When herd immunity is not reached you get what we're seeing with the current whooping cough breakout in the states.

The last time director Lee Daniels and cinematographer Andrew Dunn, BSC teamed up was on the film Precious, which earned six ACADEMY AWARD® nominations, including one for best picture. "That film was special, and it meant a lot to people," recalls Dunn. "It changed some lives."
The duo's latest collaboration is the extraordinary story of Cecil Gaines, who served eight presidents as the head butler of the White House from 1952 to 1986. The film begins in the cotton fields of Gaines' youth and reaches a climax when Gaines returns to the White House at age 92 to meet an African-American president. Forest Whitaker plays the title role.
The popular UK television dramedy Doc Martin is back for its sixth season. The show follows a doctor, played by Martin Clunes, who after developing a crippling fear of blood, retrains as a GP. He moves to a quirky seaside town, where he opens a practice and quickly offends the locals with his poor bedside manner.
Doc Martin is filmed on location in the village of Port Isaac in Cornwall, England, where "apparently the sun always shines," jokes the show's director of photography Simon Archer, BSC. The cinematographer, who took over for Chris Howard, BSC after season 3, uses a full range of 16mm stocks on the series.
The Good Road, from director Gyan Correa and cinematographer Amitabha Singh, was recently named the National Award Winner 2013 for Best Feature Film in Gujarati language at the 60th National Film Awards ceremony of the Directorate of Film Festivals. The award honors the best in Indian cinema. The film was produced by NFDC (National Film Development Corporation).
The film is a modern Gujarati story about three sets of people travelling on a highway, cutting through the Banni, bordering the Rann in Kachchh. Each on a journey to achieve their individual pursuits, but over a 24 hour period, the travelers discover something altogether different and unexpected about their lives.
T.C. Christensen, ASC has made close to 40 feature films and countless shorts and documentaries over the last four decades. The cinematographer-director has been following his passion for filmmaking since high school, when he started shooting with a 16mm Bolex camera, and fostered that ambition with an "opportunity meets preparation" attitude.
Most recently, Christensen finished a labor of love called Ephraim's Rescue, which tells the true story of Ephraim Hanks, who like most teenage boys, only cares about himself, but finds his way in life, and eventually provides relief and rescue to the suffering Martin Handcart Company pioneers who were caught in Wyoming's early winter storms in the fall of 1856.
Where does Hero go to up their glamour quotient? India.
For Hero's Glamour–a popular motorbike in the traffic-cluttered cities of India–the company chose cinematographer Paramvir Singh to shoot their latest ad. The DP is a graduate of the Film & Television Institute of India, and also a former creative in advertising.

The Jazz opened overtime with a 6-0 run and led 110-104 after a layup by Jefferson with 34.7 seconds left. However, out of timeouts, George hit his third 3-pointer of the game. The Pacers forced a stop with 13.9 seconds left and appeared to have a clean look at a corner 3 before Hayward barreled toward George.
After jumping at George, Hayward leapt once more to grab the ball out of the air, forcing West to reach out with both hands for the foul.
West led the Pacers with 24 points, but George, who was named an All-Star for the first time this week, finished with 23 points. Hill, meanwhile, nearly notched a triple-double, finishing with 22 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.
That the game had a strange finish was only fitting. The Jazz led most of the way, despite being thoroughly outrebounded. At the end of four quarters, they had 24 assists and 24 rebounds, and lost the final rebounding tally 41-28.
However, the Jazz compensated by recording 17 steals and scoring 22 points off 28 Indiana turnovers.

Roland Garros: Day 3 Preview
Published May 26, 2009 12:00
PARIS, France - Two players who have held the No.1 ranking make their first appearance at this year's French Open on Tuesday, as the first round matches in the bottom half of the draw are played out. Both Jelena Jankovic and Serena Williams have plenty to prove after a troubled few weeks, though - as does France's own Alizé Cornet, who so far hasn't been able to find the form that made her claycourt season so memorable last year.
(5) Jelena Jankovic (SRB) vs. Petra Cetkovska (CZE)
First meeting
Jankovic has now made it to the fourth round or better at 11-straight Grand Slams, including back-to-back semifinal appearances at Roland Garros. But, while that's the very consistency that carried the 24-year-old Serb to the No.1 ranking late last year, her failure to go all the way to a major title, or at least final, had much to do with her subsequent overthrow by Serena Williams. Having dipped to No.5, she is first to admit her confidence has taken a hit, and although winning the claycourt title at Marbella last month helped, it's hard not to view her quarterfinal runs at Stuttgart, Rome and Madrid as disappointing. Maybe a slight lowering of expectations is exactly what she needs to force a breakthrough on the big stage, and in that context Cetkovska should provide a perfect first round test. The Czech made the last 16 here last year, and has scored Top 10 wins over Marion Bartoli and Elena Dementieva since then. So she has the talent to give Jankovic trouble, but the Serb should have too much class.
(21) Alizé Cornet (FRA) vs. Maret Ani (EST)
First meeting
This time 12 months ago Cornet was busy building a 24-8 season record on clay, had just reached the final at Rome, and in the glare of the spotlight was about to make a very respectable run to the third round at her home Grand Slam. But, while clay has been the surface the now-19-year-old can thank for her spectacular rise into the Top 20 - nearly 69% of her career match wins have been recorded on the red (or green) dirt - it has been a source of misery of late. The French teen is 1-6 on the surface this year, and instead of knocking on the door of the Top 10 has slipped out of the Top 20. Whether or not the Roland Garros pressure-cooker is the place to rebuild her confidence remains to be seen - the native of Nice has lost all four Fed Cup matches played on French clay this year - and it may not help that Amélie Mauresmo has already made her exit. Still, her draw could have been tougher: At the age of 27, Ani is still seeking her first Grand Slam main draw win.
Klara Zakopalova (CZE) vs. (2) Serena Williams (USA)
Williams leads 2-1
So far, 2009 has provided a snapshot of Serena's brilliant but mercurial career. One minute the 27-year-old is winning the Australian Open and rising to the No.1 ranking for the fourth time; the next, she is slumping to four consecutive losses for the first time ever. Needless to say, injury has had quite a lot to do with the American's recent run of ill fortune, but the upshot is that the 2002 French Open champion arrives in Paris as something of an unknown quantity. In the past that has been no barrier to success, certainly, but the danger today is she faces the player who inflicted the first of those four losses, in the first round at Marbella. Though her ranking has dropped to No.100 in recent weeks, Zakopalova beat Zheng Jie for her sixth Top 20 win on her way to the quarters at Warsaw last week, then lost a tight three setter to Daniela Hantuchova. She could be in the mood for a repeat performance.
Court 1
Virginie Razzano (FRA) vs. Daniela Hantuchova (SVK)
Hantuchova leads 3-2
Last year Hantuchova missed the European claycourt swing due to a stress fracture in her foot. But, while the injury itself healed sufficiently to allow a return at Wimbledon, the consistency that had restored the Slovak to the Top 10 went walkabout, resulting in a drop from the Top 40 earlier this year. The upside has been that Hantuchova has had no points to defend on clay, and the climb back up the rankings has begun. Three good wins got the 26-year-old to the semis at Warsaw last week, and although she duly became a victim of eventual titlist Alexandra Dulgheru, her losses before that in Stuttgart, Rome and Madrid were all to members of the Top 10. However, she won't relish the prospect of Razzano, for the Frenchwoman won the last two times the pair played, most recently on Dubai's hardcourts (Razzano went on to reach the final). What's more, with three consecutive third round finishes at Roland Garros under her belt, Razzano appears to thrive at her home Slam.
More to watch…
On Lenglen, seventh seed Svetlana Kuznetsova plays French wildcard Claire Feuerstein, who is ranked No.236 and making her Grand Slam debut. Elena Dementieva, the runner-up at Roland Garros in 2004 and seeded fourth this year, opens her bid for a first Grand Slam against South Africa's Chanelle Scheepers on Court 1, while No.30 seed Samantha Stosur and Francesca Schiavone do battle on Court 2. Jelena Dokic, a quarterfinalist at the French Open in 2002, faces Croatia's Karolina Sprem. No.18 seed Anabel Medina Garrigues lines up against the player she beat for the Fès title a few weeks ago, Ekaterina Makarova of Russia; Yanina Wickmayer, who beat Makarova in the final at Estoril, plays Urszula Radwanska.

Editors' review
Free Instagram Downloader allows you to browse and download all the photos off specific Instagram users' accounts.
Guided downloads: Free Instagram Downloader will always prompt to take you to the download location after downloading a photo or album.
Batch processing: Free Instagram Downloader lets you download entire albums at once from a single user, eliminating the hassle of clicking through individual images and checkboxes. In fact, the app assumes you're going to do that, as every photo is checked by default upon first opening the app. Images are also renamed as numbers, instead of keeping the inexplicable default string for each file name.
Inexplicable design quirks: Why does the File tab mirror the contents of the Help tab? Touch mode seems incomplete, as it only expands the checkboxes, but does not scale all menu items, accordingly.
Lack of description: It would have been nice to see descriptions scraped for photos. There is no enlargement of thumbnail feature, so users can't identify the photo without downloading.
Bottom Line
Free Instagram Downloader is your average app that gets the job done, as long as you don't mind putting up with some minor interface quirks. It's not the prettiest app on the block, but Free Instagram Downloader works as advertised, and that's always a plus. Its greatest strength is the batch download feature, and though the app doesn't necessarily encourage long-term engagement within its environment, Free Instagram Downloader is a perfectly capable Instagram scraper with little disruption.
Publisher's Description
Free Instagram Downloader is the world's easiest tool to help you download images, photos and pictures from Instagram easily and quickly. Just input the user name, and click one button, then all the photos will be downloaded to your computer. Save you a lot of precious time.

WOONSOCKET - A textile mill in Woonsocket is doing its part to help
relief efforts in the Philippines by making emergency blankets to be shipped overseas.
Northwest Wollen Mills currently has 30,000wool,
flame retardant blankets ready to be sent to the hardest–hit areas devastated
by Typhoon Hiyan.
And workers are ready at the drop of a hat to make more, if
"We have staff that is very happy to stay and work overtime
to get the blankets out, for example last year during super storm Sandy we
shipped out about 150 thousand blankets in about 2 days time," said Paulette Butler, Director of Sales at Northwest Woolen Mills.
The blankets will be given out through various government
organizations, as well as nonprofit groups.
The mill has been open since the 1960's.

vs. Kent State, Tue., Dec. 31 at Jadwin GymAll-Time Series: Princeton leads 1-0Last Meeting: Dec. 1, 2012 at Kent, a 62-50 Princeton win
at Liberty, Sat., Jan. 4 in Lynchburg, Va.All-Time Series: First MeetingLast Meeting: None
• Princeton is off to its best start since the 1997-98 season, a fact that will remain regardless of Saturday's outcome, whether 10-1 or 9-2 through 11 contests. The '97-'98 team had Mitch Henderson as a senior and was ranked No. 18 by the time it had played 11 games. This year's Tigers can match that team by reaching 10-1 through winning a tournament, as the '97-'98 Tigers won the ECAC Holiday Festival by defeating Drexel and Niagara.• Princeton's setting this week is the South Point Holiday Hoops Classic, an event that runs five days in total with 14 games between Thursday and Sunday. A total of 14 programs between Division II men's, Division II women's and Division I men's teams are competing. Princeton by far wins the award for the furthest travel to the event at 2,220 air miles, beating out the University of West Florida men (1,650 miles) as the only programs from East Coast states at the event.
• Princeton has the chance to win/finish undefeated at a tournament for the first time since the 2000 First Merchants Classic hosted by Ball State, where the Tigers beat Weber State and Ball State on Dec. 1-2, 2000.• This is Princeton's second visit to Las Vegas and second to Nevada. The other time, Princeton was handled 69-35 by the No. 1 Runnin' Rebels, led by 19 points from Anderson Hunt on Dec. 19, 1990. Future No. 1 pick Larry Johnson, not long before his "Grandmama" days, was one rebound away from a double-double with 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting and a game-high nine boards.• Though Princeton has never faced Portland, the program does have connections to its city and home state. Two of Princeton's greatest achievements in men's basketball came in Oregon, when Princeton advanced to the 1965 Final Four held in Portland's Memorial Coliseum, until 1995 home of the Portland Trail Blazers, and in 1983 when it knocked off fifth-seeded Oklahoma State as a 12 seed on Oregon State's home floor in the NCAA Round of 32. The last time Princeton faced a team from Oregon was in the 1975 NIT, when Princeton took out the Oregon Ducks 58-57 in the tournament semifinal on the way to the title. Princeton is 1-1 all-time against the Ducks, the only Oregon team Princeton has faced.• As it prepares to face Portland, Princeton is now 5-3 all-time against WCC schools at the time of the game, having faced San Francisco (1-1), Santa Clara (1-2), Loyola Marymount (1-0), San Diego (1-0) and now Pacific (1-0). • Princeton is scoring at a rate unseen in more than 40 years so far, as the team's average of 74.1 ppg is its highest through 10 games since the 1971-72 season (83.3 ppg). That season is also the last time Princeton scored at least 66 points in each of its first nine games, as it has done this season.• The Penn State win allowed Princeton to eclipse its longest win streak in two-plus seasons under Mitch Henderson, now at eight games. It's the longest streak since the 2010-11 Tigers reeled off 10 straight.• The Tigers have upped their point total from first halves to second halves in seven of the 10 games this season. Princeton is 7-0 when leading at the half this season and has won 19 straight such games. In the other three games, the Tigers rallied when down five at the half against Lafayette and down 12 at the half at Penn State but came up one possession short in a three-point loss at Butler when down two at the half.• This will be Portland's second Ivy League opponent of the season. The Pilots defeated Columbia 69-52 on Nov. 22 in Portland.• Through games of Dec. 15, at the NCAA's last update, Princeton led the Ivy League in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.43), fewest fouls (151), fewest turnovers (95) and 3-pointers per game (10.6). Princeton's best national ranking was third with the 10.6 3s per game. Portland was 334th in Division I and 10th in the WCC in the stat, allowing a .411 clip.• Princeton's mettle on the glass has been tested already this weekend and figures to be again versus Portland. Princeton lost the battle on the glass by just one against Pacific, and Portland outrebounds its opponents by a 4.2 rpg clip. Princeton is all square with its opponents on rebounding entering the Portland game. Princeton had outboarded four of its first five opponents but has now been outrebounded in four of the last five games.• Princeton's 283 3-pointers attempted are the most through 10 games for the program since the rule came into effect for the 1986-87 season. The 1995-96 team had 261 tries through 10 games. The top two 3-point shooters on that team? Freshman Brian Earl had 61 3-point tries through eight games, and sophomore Mitch Henderson had 48. Princeton has tied the '95-'96 team for most 3s made through eight games, at 95.• Princeton is on pace to obliterate the program record for 3-pointers made in a season. The 1997-98 team made 265, and at Princeton's present clip of 11.3 threes per game, with 18 more regular-season games to play, the projected final regular-season number stands at 316.
• Princeton has nearly tripled its opponents in the number of 3-pointers made this season, canning 113 to 43 for its foes. The Tigers have also tried significantly more than their opponents, though not quite twice as many, 283-145.• Of Princeton's 527 field goal attempts this season, 283, or 53.7 percent, have been from beyond the arc. Of the 10 players who have appeared in at least six games this season, six have more tries from beyond the arc than from inside, including Will Barrett (55 of 72), Ben Hazel (55-77), Spencer Weisz (32-53), T.J. Bray (37-58), Chris Clement (14-18) and Clay Wilson (8-8).• Princeton has tried more 3-pointers than its opponents in nine of 10 games this season. The only game that the opponent tried more was at Butler, when the Bulldogs dialed long distance 24 times (making nine) to Princeton's 20 (eight made). • Princeton has held its opponent below .400 from beyond the arc in nine of 10 games this season, with the Lafayette game as the exception. The Leopards made 6 of 11 (.545) from distance, pushing the game to overtime before losing 81-80.• In Princeton's only loss this season, at Butler on Nov. 16, the Tigers had a season-low nine assists and shot a season-low .622 from the stripe on 37 attempts, by far a season-high. It was the only game this season in which Princeton didn't have at least 56 percent of its baskets assisted. The Tigers had nine of 18 (.500) buckets with helpers in their trip to Hinkle Fieldhouse. The Tigers also didn't have T.J. Bray for that game (injured), and Bray has become the team's leader in scoring (15.8 ppg) and assists (7.3 ppg).• Princeton returns nearly 75 percent of its scoring from a year ago despite graduating reigning Ivy Player of the Year Ian Hummer '13. The team also returns 71 percent of its starts and 67 percent of its minutes, with Denton Koon, T.J. Bray, Will Barrett and Hans Brase all having started at least 18 games last season.• 36.7 percent of Princeton's points this season have been scored by players who weren't on the 2012-13 roster, including rookies Spencer Weisz (9.2 ppg), Peter Miller (2.3 ppg) and Steven Cook (1.6 ppg), junior Ben Hazel (10.2 ppg) and senior Jimmy Sherburne (7.0 ppg). Hazel and Sherburne took the 2012-13 season off from Princeton.• Seven players (Bray, Brase, Koon, Hazel, Barrett, Weisz, Sherburne) have played 88.3 percent of the minutes this season and have scored 91.6 percent of the points.• Princeton has trailed in the second half in five games this season: Butler, Lafayette, Bucknell, Rutgers and Penn State, including by double figures at Butler (13) and Penn State (20). The Tigers came within a final possession at Butler and came all the way back at Penn State.• The Tigers have a six-member freshman class and, as of the FDU game, all six of them have seen game action, including Henry Caruso, Khyan Rayner, Hashim Moore, Steven Cook, Peter Miller and Spencer Weisz. Miller has played in nine of 10 games, and Weisz has started six contests while playing in all 10.
• Portland's top national rankings entering the week were centered around assists, whether assist-to-turnover ratio (26th, 1.44), assists per game (21st, 16.7) or total assists (29th, 167).• Portland has started the same five players in all 11 of its games: Kevin Bailey, Ryan Nicholas, Thomas van der Mars, Alec Wintering and Bryce Pressley. Bailey, Nicholas and van der Mars average at least 13 points a game, but the trio are the only Portland players averaging double figures. Nicholas averaged a double-double entering the weekend with 10.1 boards per game, now at 9.7.• Portland has made NCAA Tournament appearances in 1959 and 1996. Head coach Eric Reveno is in his seventh season at Portland after spending nine seasons as an assistant at his alma mater, Stanford. During Reveno's tenure at Stanford, the Cardinal defeated Princeton 58-34 in Oakland on Dec. 21, 2005.• Portland entered the weekend 0-4 when shooting below 46 percent from the field and 6-0 when hitting at least 46 percent. The Pilots shot .446 in the win over Bradley Friday night, their lowest shooting percentage in a win this season. Turnovers (17), rebounding (35-27 Portland) and cold shooting (.356 FG) doomed Bradley against Portland.• While Portland has had double-figure assists in each game, its opponents have reached 10 helpers in just six of 11 games. Portland was 3-3 in those games.• Portland is 7-1 when Thomas van der Mars scores in double figures and 0-3 when the 6-11 center does not score at least 10 points.

Azole antifungals are a group of fungistatic agents that can be administered orally or parenterally. The determination of the concentrations of these antifungals (miconazole, fluconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, and its major active metabolite, hydroxy-itraconazole) in serum can be useful to adapt the doses to pharmacological ranges because of large variability in the absorption and metabolism of the drugs, multiple drug interactions, but also potential resistance or toxicity. A method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of these drugs in serum utilizing ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography and diode array detection (UHPLC-DAD). After a simple and rapid liquid– liquid extraction, the pre-treated sample was analysed on an UHPLC-DAD system (Waters CorporationH). The chromatographic separation was carried out on an Acquity BEH C18 column (Waters Corporation) with a gradient mode of mobile phase composed of acetonitrile and aqueous ammonium bicarbonate 10.0 M pH10. The flow rate was 0.4 ml/min and the injection volume was 5 ml. The identification wavelength varied according to the drug from 210 to 260 nm. The method was validated by the total error method approach by using an analytical validation software (eNnoval V3.0 ArlendaH). The seven azole antifungals were identified by retention time and specific UV spectra, over a 13-minute run time. All calibration curves showed good linearity (r2.0.99) in ranges considered clinically adequate. The assay was linear from 0.05 to 10 mg/l for voriconazole, posaconazole, itraconazole, hydroxy-itraconazole, and ketoconazole, from 0.3 to 10 mg/l for fluconazole, and from 0.1 to 10 mg/l for miconazole. The bias and imprecision values for intraand inter-assays were lower than 10% and than 15%, respectively. In conclusion, a simple, sensitive, and selective UHPLC-DAD method was developed and validated to determine seven azole antifungal drugs in human serum. This method is applicable to patient samples, and can be applied successfully to clinical applications and therapeutic drug monitoring. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 40 (18 ULg)

Introduction: Paraneoplastic hypercalcemia is a sign of poor prognosis, as it is particularly resistant to the usual hypocalcemic treatments. Observation: In 2009, a well differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (Ki-67= 2%) is diagnosed in a 52-year-old diabetic man. The tumor is revealed with a splenic and hepatic carcinomatosis. Plasmatic calcium was: 3.54 mmol/L (2.15 - 2.6). Biology showed hypophosphatemia, PTH < 4 ng/ml, high 1-25 OH VitD, calcitonin: 1016 ng/ml (< 12 ng/ml). He had hypercalciuria and hypophosphaturia. He received for two years several cycles of Streptozotocin-ADRIAMYCIN and FOLFOX, with partial control of the tumor mass and calcium levels. In 2012, calcitonin levels are 29 ng/ml whereas calcemia is 3.17 mmol/L. Hypercalcemia is refractory to hyperhydration, diuretics, corticosteroids, and bisphosphonates therapy. Cinacalcet (Mimpara) is prescribed up to 120 mg/day (PO). Calcemia decreases gradually from 3 to 2.87 and then 2.76 mmol/L. PTH and calcitonin-the tumor mass remain unchanged. After two months of Cinacalcet treatment, Sunitinib (Sutent) 37.5 mg per day was added. During the third month, calcium levels dropped to 2.09 mmol/L and PTH raised to 78 pg/ml, requiring discontinuation of Mimpara. Calcitonin normalized, with a further improvement over pancreatic and metastatic lesions. Conclusion: Cinacalcet is a Calcium Sensing Receptor oral agonist. Cinacalcet hypocalcemic effects have not been previously documented in pancreatic paraneoplastic hypercalcemia. In our patient, Cinacalcet has significantly improved cancer prognosis: this drug could be a new alternative in paraneoplastic hypercalcemia. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 43 (6 ULg)
Persistent low levels of serum hCG: please do not miss phantom hCG! (pseudohypergonadotropinemia syndrome)

Introduction: Beyond pregnancy, persistent low levels of hCG may be associated with various benign and malignant conditions, i.e. quiescent gestational trophoblastic disease (QTD), raised pituitary hCG or false positive elevation caused by circulating heterophilic antibodies. This situation requires a clinico-biological approach in order to avoid misunderstandings that could lead to inappropriate diagnostic or therapeutic attitudes. Observation: A 23 years old woman (GOPO status) consulted his gynaecologist because of persistent abdominal pain. She was diagnosed of having trophoblastic disease on the basis of persistently positive human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test (Roche Modular) results, in the absence of pregnancy. Persistent low levels of hCG (around 10 U/L) were detected in her plasma. The patient underwent a trial with methotrexate chemotherapy. Abdominal pain was unrelieved whereas plasma hCG was 8.9 U/L. A serology test for Chlamydia indicated persistent infection and a course of antibiotic treatment was underwent without any relief. A laparoscopic exploration ruled out any trophoblastic residue or pelvic adherences. The patient was referred to the Endocrine Unit for further pituitary and hormonal investigations. Plasma and urine samples were sent to Biology Service to exclude a false hCG positive value. While low levels of hCG were detected in serum by assay, no significant hCG was detected in the urine (0,1 U/L). When serum was treated with HBT tube for the detection of heterophilic antibodies, hCG levels were 0.98 U/L. After mouse serum treatment, hCG was not further detected in our patient, indicating the presence of phantom hCG due to the presence of human anti mouse heterophilic antibodies. Conclusions: Textbooks on obstetrics and gynecology emphasize the importance of plasma hCG testing in patients with trophoblastic diseases. The ability of laboratory measurements to guide the clinician appropriately in every circumstance is limited. Caution should be exercised when clinical findings and laboratory results are discordant. Current protocols for the diagnosis and treatment of trophoblastic disease should include a compulsory test for hCG in urine and a test for heterophilic antibodies when appropriate. In this case report, we demonstrated that phantom hCG, was caused by heterogenous human anti mouse antibodies. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 65 (7 ULg)

Listeriosis, an opportunistic food-borne disease caused by Listeria monocytogenes, is infrequent and occurs preferentially in patients at the extremes of age, during pregnancy or in immunocompromised hosts. Most common manifestations are maternofoetal and neonatal infections, severe invasive presentations such as bacteraemia with or without central nervous system symptoms occuring preferentially in immunosuppressed patients and self-limited gastro-enteritis affecting healthy individuals. Exceptionally, focal infections such as cholecystitis are described. We report here a case of acute cholecystitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes in an 82-year-old woman. Thanks to a successful treatment: cholecystectomy and antimicrobial therapy (amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid), the patient soon recovered. This case-report provides an opportunity to review the current literature concerning the association of Listeria monocytogenes and cholecystitis. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 28 (5 ULg)

The immune system may be considered as a sensory organ able to respond to different kinds of danger signals that are not detected by nervous cells. The immune response is not autonomous but also regulated by central and peripheral nervous system, as well as by neuropeptides, vitamin D and neuroendocrine axes such as the corticotrope, somatotrope, thyrotrope and gonadotrope axes. During evolution, the thymus emerged concomitantly with recombinase-dependent adaptive immunity as an 'immune brain' or a 'master class' highly specialized in the orchestration of central immunological self-tolerance. This was an absolute requirement for survival of species because of the high risk of autotoxicity inherent to the stochastic generation of extreme diversity characterizing this novel adaptive type of immune defenses against non-self. The thymus now appears to be an obligatory intersection for the integrated evolution of the major systems of cell-to-cell signaling, the nervous, endocrine and immune systems. The presentation of many self-peptides by thymic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins is controlled by the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene/protein and is responsible for the clonal deletion of self-reactive T cells. In the same time, by still unexplained mechanisms, MHC presentation of the same self-peptides in the thymus promotes the generation of self-specific FOXP3+ CD4+CD25+ natural regulatory T cells (nTreg) that are able to inhibit in periphery self-reactive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells having escaped the thymus censorship. Moreover, a thymus dysfunction is more and more established as the primary event driving the development of organ-specific autoimmunity, which is the tribute paid, mainly by mankind, for the preservation of self against non-self. Our novel knowledge about thymus physiology and physiopathology already serves as the basis for the development of various innovative and efficient immunomodulating strategies in pharmacology.

In Belgium, individual laboratory and treatment data of all HIV-infected patients seen in the 9 AIDS Reference Centres and 7 AIDS Reference Laboratories are collected prospectively since 2006. We present here an analysis of patients recorded in the cohort database between 1st of January 2006 and 31st of December 2008. During that period, 11982 patients were under medical follow-up in Belgium. Sixty-one percent of the patients were male and the median age was 39.8 at the time of first recorded viral load. Among the patients whose nationality or probable mode of transmission was recorded, nearly half (48.0%) were Belgian and 38.3% originated from Sub-Saharan Africa; heterosexual contacts were reported in the majority of cases (56.0%) followed by homosexual contacts (35.3%). A total of 145 deaths were reported. Around three quarters of the patients were on ART. The median CD4 cell count rose from 470 cells/mm3 in 2006 to 501 cells/mm3 in 2008. This cohort enabled us to obtain comprehensive information on the numbers and characteristics of HIV-infected patients currently being followed up in Belgium, and on trends in antiretroviral therapy and biological results. This will serve for planning purposes, evaluation of access to care and as a source of information for further studies. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 54 (21 ULg)

Hilton Head Fire Rescue units are still at the scene of a fire that destroyed several apartments at the Wyndemere apartment complex.
The fire started at about 8:30 Wednesday night. Six out of the 20 apartments are unlivable.
No injuries have been reported.
"This was a hard fought fire, they did everything they can and the firemen, they take it personal when they can't save more than what they were able to save last night," said Hilton Head Island Fire Chief LaVarn Lucas.
It took several hours and five fire engines to get the blaze under control.
Fortunately, no one was injured but the entire apartment building is being evacuated out of safety.
"At this point, they're trying to rule things out, they're looking for if there might've been something electrical back there," said Hilton Head Fire Marshall Joheida Fister. "There are a couple grills at the back so they're just trying to see what's back there and rule out the possibilities."
A structural engineer and an electrician will also be inspecting the building before anyone is allowed to return.
Greg Johnson is one of many who's letting the victims store their stuff at his place. He says he was home when the fire broke out and tried to help.
"I grabbed a fire extinguisher, ran over there, kicked the door in, tried to put it out, just no way," said Johnson.
Linda Prosser let an entire family stay the night at her house.
"We took the cats and the two dogs and the lady and her fish and her roommate came home and they stayed with us," said Prosser. "My son gave up his bedroom so they could have a room."
Other people loaned their computers and cars to help the victims out.
When asked why they're doing it, their answer was simple:
"It's just the right thing to do. I'd want someone to do it if it was me or my kids. I'd want someone to be there to help them."
"Definitely," said Jacob Ponto. "Everyone here is like a family, everyone gets along."
The American Red Cross is assisting the victims. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Lightning have re-signed right wing Martins Karsums to a one-year contract.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
Karsums has appeared in 24 NHL games with Tampa Bay and Boston, notching a goal and five assists. He was acquired by the Lightning at the trade deadline last March in a deal that sent Mark Recchi to the Bruins.
The 23-year-old native of Latvia played 18 games with the Lightning after the deal and posted a goal with four assists. He scored his first career NHL goal on April 3 against New Jersey.
Selected in the second round of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft by the Bruins, Karsums has 50 goals and 139 points in 176 career AHL games.
