Jeff Capel
Associate Head Coach
Follow @jeffcapel
Former Duke standout Jeff Capel joined the Duke staff as an assistant coach on May 6, 2011 after spending the previous nine years as the head coach at Virginia Commonwealth (2002-06) and Oklahoma (2006-11). He was promoted to associate coach in July of 2013 and then named associate head coach prior to the 2014-15 season.
Capel owns a 175-110 record as a head coach with three NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Elite Eight in 2008 with Oklahoma.
In three seasons at Duke, Capel has seen the program compile a 83- 22 record with a 40-12 mark in the ACC. The Blue Devils have earned a top three seed in the NCAA Tournament three times with a trip the Elite Eight in 2013. Capel has also been instrumental on the recruiting trail helping Duke secure committments from six McDonald's All-America selections over the last two years. The Blue Devils' 2014 recruiting class was tabbed No. 1 in the country and features four players rated in the top 40 of the Recruiting Services Consensus Index.
Capel took over as court coach and scout with the USA Basketball Men's Senior National Team in July of 2013 and assisted the staff throughout Team USA's gold-medal run at the 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain.
Last season, Capel played a key role in the develpment of National Freshman of the Year Jabari Parker as well as All-ACC wing Rodney Hood as Duke posted a 26-9 record overall with a 13-5 mark in league play. The high-scoring tandem combined for 35.2 points and 12.6 rebounds per game in guiding the Blue Devils to the ACC title game and the program's 18th straight 20-win season.
In 2012-13, Capel helped guide Duke to a 30-win season and a 14-4 record in league play. The Blue Devils went 6-3 against AP top 25 teams with wins over No. 2 Louisville, No. 3 Kentucky, No. 4 Ohio State and No. 5 Miami. He saw the senior trio of Seth Curry, Ryan Kelly and Mason Plumlee combine to average 37.5 points and 17.8 rebounds per game. Curry and Plumlee both earned second team All-America honors as well as first team All-ACC accolades in 2013-14. Capel was also instrumental in the development of Quinn Cook. The sophomore point guard recorded 21 double-figure scoring games while averaging 11.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. Cook was named MVP of the Battle 4 Atlantis and was also a third team All-ACC pick by ACSMA.
In his first year back in Durham, the Blue Devils posted a 27-7 record, including a 13-3 mark in the ACC. Duke earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and finished the year with 10 wins over NCAA Tournament teams. Capel helped mentor a trio of All-ACC performers (Austin Rivers, Seth Curry and Mason Plumlee) in 2011-12.
He began his coaching career as an assistant coach under his father, Jeff Capel II, at Old Dominion University for the 2000–01 season. In 2001, he joined the coaching staff at VCU as an assistant and was promoted to head coach of the Rams for the 2002–03 season—making him, at the time, the youngest head coach in Division I men's college basketball (27 years old).
Capel guided the Rams to an 18-10 mark overall in 2002-03 to tie a school record for wins by a first year coach. VCU also went 12-6 in league play to finish second in the Colonial Athletic Association.
In 2003-04, VCU's CAA Tournament championship game victory over George Mason catapulted the Rams to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1996. The Rams lost in the first round to Chris Paul and Wake Forest, but not before putting a major scare into the fourth-seeded Demon Deacons, 79-78. VCU closed the year 23-8 overall and 14-4 in league play. The 23 wins were the most for the program since the 1995-96 season and marked the 11th 20-win season in school history.
Capel's 2004-05 squad finished 19-13 and competed in the National Invitation Tournament, marking just the third time in program history that VCU made consecutive postseason appearances. In his final year, Capel guided the Rams to a 19-10 record, including an 11-7 mark in league play.
Capel compiled a 79-41 (.658) record, including a 50-22 (.694) mark in the CAA, over four years as head coach at Virginia Commonwealth prior to being named the head coach at Oklahoma on April 11, 2006.
While at Oklahoma, Capel led the Sooners to a 96-69 (.582) record overall with two NCAA Tournament trips (2008 & 2009) and was a major factor in the recruitment and development of 2009 National Player of the Year Blake Griffin. Griffin would go on to become the first player from Oklahoma to be selected No. 1 in the NBA Draft, the 2011 NBA Rookie of the Year and the 2011 NBA Slam Dunk champion.
In his first year in Norman, Capel guided his squad to a 16-15 mark despite the departure of three key members of the recruiting class prior to his arrival.
Capel signed Griffin, a McDonald's All-American, in his first full recruiting class and the Sooners quickly showed vast signs of improvement. Oklahoma finished the year 23-12 overall and 9-7 in Big 12 play. The Sooners reached the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament and earned a sixth-seed in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Capel earned his first NCAA Tournament victory with an opening round win over St. Joseph's before losing to third-seeded Louisville.
In 2008-09, Oklahoma experienced one of the best seasons in school history as the Capel-led Sooners finished 30-6 for the program's fifth 30-win season all-time and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. The Sooners opened the year 25-1 to reach No. 2 in the AP Poll before Griffin was sidelined for a week with a concussion suffered during a late February contest. Capel's Sooners were granted a No. 2 seed for the NCAA Tournament, and easily beat Morgan State, Michigan and Syracuse to reach the Elite Eight. Oklahoma fell to eventual NCAA champion North Carolina, 72-60, despite another outstanding performance from Griffin. The unanimous All-America selection and National Player of the Year finished the NCAA Tournament with 114 points and 60 rebounds, becoming the first player to reach such milestones in over 40 years.
With the early departure of Griffin as well as the graduation of two other starters, Oklahoma was left with an inexperienced although talented team for the 2009-10 season. With two returning starters and three McDonald's All-Americans on the roster the Sooners were ranked in the top 20 of the preseason polls. After a 13-9 start to the season, injuries and youth caught up to the Sooners as the team dropped its final nine games of the season to finish 13-18 overall.
Capel's roster was further depleted for the 2010-11 season as three highly recruited players left school early. In all the Sooners had to replace four of their top five scorers heading into Capel's fifth season at Oklahoma. Despite a roster that featured just two upperclassmen who would play more than 10 minutes per game and two players taller than 6-foot-7, the Sooners battled to a 14-18 record on the year. Seven of Oklahoma's top eight scorers on the season were freshmen or sophomores, and those seven players accounted for 70 percent of the team's points on the year.
Capel also has coaching experience on the international level with USA Basketball. In the summer of 2010, he led a USA team featuring Kyrie Irving and Austin Rivers to a 5-0 record and the gold medal at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship in San Antonio, Texas. He was also an assistant coach on a gold-medal-winning USA Men's World University Games Team that featured Duke's Shelden Williams and went 8-0 in Turkey in 2005.
Following his career at Duke, Capel played professionally for two years. He spent the 1997-98 season playing for the Continental Basketball Association's Grand Rapids Hoops. In 1999-2000, he played in France before returning to Grand Rapids. Capel was also drafted in 1997 by the Raleigh Cougars of the USBL.
During his successful playing career as a Blue Devil, Capel racked up 1,601 points, 433 assists and 220 three-point field goals. He finished his career among Duke's all-time leaders in minutes played, three-point field goal percentage, three-point field goals and assists. He was a four-year starter for the Blue Devils, helping the team to an 83-46 record and a trip to the 1994 NCAA Championship game. Capel started 28 games as a freshman for a Duke squad that lost to Arkansas in the 1994 national championship game, 76-72.
On February 2, 1995 in the regular season game played at home against North Carolina, with Duke trailing 95–92 at the end of the first overtime, Capel hit a running 40-foot shot at the buzzer which sent the game into double-overtime. Although Duke lost the game 102–100, Capel's shot was hailed as one of the most memorable plays in Duke basketball history and it was nominated for an ESPY Award for College Basketball Play of the Year.
Capel led the Blue Devils in scoring as a junior (16.6 ppg.) and helped Duke to a No. 8 final AP ranking as a senior. He averaged 26.5 points over Duke's two NCAA Tournament games in 1997, the same season he was named an Academic All-ACC selection.
A standout prep performer, Capel was named the 1993 North Carolina High School Player of the Year after averaging 23.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists for 31-1 state champion Fayetteville South View. He also set school career records for points (2,066), rebounds (668) and assists (663).
Capel, who graduated from Duke with a bachelor's degree in history in 1997, and his wife, Kanika, married in 2003. They have two daughters, Cameron and Sydney, and a son, Elijiah.

I'm more wondering about the upper register here, but I suppose this applies to pedal notes also. Is the trumpet's range theoretically unlimited? Is there anything (besides the player) that potentially could limit the range of the trumpet?

As Matthew indicated in his comment, once the wavelength of the sound gets smaller than the diameter of the tubing, the trumpet will no longer behave like a column of air. This means that, at these wavelengths, the trumpet will not support the resonance modes that make up its behaviour at normal frequencies. I.e. not sound like a trumpet (to the extent that it sounds at all).

Did you stumble onto this website while looking for Malaysian wedding photographer Andy Lim?
Since June 2012, Andy's blog has moved to a new home at Emotion in Pictures. Please visit the new blog for the latest pictures:
This identity design project was a re-branding exercise for Memento Images, a wedding photography studio in Melbourne. The logo I created is a heart-shaped adaptation of the 'M' initial in Memento, framed within the viewfinder of a camera.
My wife and I were supposed to be in Europe 2 weeks ago. But thank God our flight was canceled due to the volcanic ash all over Europe, otherwise we probably would have been stranded there. We were desperate for a getaway, so a quick look at the world map brought us to Taiwan.
We started our trip with a stinky tofu supper by the roadside in Taipei
Then we followed a local tour which took us to Hualien on the east side of Taiwan island. This is the scene from Baci Lookout Point.
The next day was a tour of Taroko Gorge National Park. We started at the Iyax Valley (Shakadang Trail).
On a wobbly rope bridge…
The Swallow Grotto
A dance show by Taiwan aborigine folk
Jioufen was a nice half day trip from Taipei, pity it rained.
A koi pond near the Taipei Botanical Gardens.
We enjoyed Dansui, at the northernmost MRT stop in Taipei. Here we got our portraits drawn by a street artist.
An ocarina shop. These are cute musical instruments that can be played like a flute.
Street food in Dansui. My favourite was the sui kow (dumplings) from 2 places: a sui kow specialty shop in Ximending (Taipei) and a roadside shop in Hualien town.
I'd like to recommend our driver, Steven. He'll bring you around the city (or island) in his very well-maintained Volkswagen T5 van. To set things straight, I don't personally know him, but once in a while I come across someone who deserves a mention. So if you're going to Taiwan, give him a call:
(Taiwan country code is 886) 0916-880-828 or 0981-397-928

Epic Fail: Tim Carpenter, Karma And The $64,000 Sell Out
They say that everybody has their price. For State Senator Tim Carpenter, I think that price was $64,000.
Too bad it didn't work out for him. I guess karma really is a you-know-what!
According to reports, last month Tim Carpenter had committed to break ranks with his Democrat colleagues in the State Senate and vote in favor of the bill to streamline mining approval in Wisconsin. In exchange for his vote, Carpenter had supposedly received a promise that a program to train high school students for future mining and manufacturing jobs would be set up in his State Senate District.
Talk about a win-win. The State gets thousands of good paying jobs and Carpenter gets a training program for voters in his District.
Anyway, at the last minute, Carpenter allegedly reneged on his promise and voted against the mining bill.
So why did Carpenter weasel out (with apologies to weasels everywhere)? While he tried to blame the Governor after proposal failed and the mining company pulled out, I think the answer is much simplier. $64,000!
At the time of his vote, Carpenter was running for City of Milwaukee Treasurer against one of his legislative colleagues, Spencer Coggs. If you wonder why someone would leave the State Senate to become City of Milwaukee Treasurer, the answer is easy. A State Senator makes about $50,000, the City of Milwaukee Treasurer makes about $114,000 - a difference of $64,000.
If Carpenter had broken ranks with his fellow Democrats and voted for the mining bill (purportedly giving Scott Walker a "win" on job creation), you know this would have been a huge campaign issue in the Treasurer's race in the heavily Democratic-leaning City of Milwaukee. Therefore even though I believe he knew a vote for the mining bill was the right thing to do, I think Carpenter was more worried about his immediate political future. So much for profiles in courage.
In a twist that can only be described as karma at its finest, Carpenter lost the Treasurer's race last night. Ouch.
The bottom line is that Carpenter doesn't get the extra $64,000 a year, his State Senate District doesn't get the job training, an economically distressed area of the State doesn't get thousands of good paying jobs and no one will ever believe Carpenter again when he promises to do something.
Talk about an epic fail!

I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Prior to analyzing her genome, investigators expected to find that either she was a human being like us, or she was a Neanderthal. What they found, however, no one was prepared for. No one!
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.

Prisons, rehabilitation and justice
by Lynette Parker
Recently, I read an article about the struggles faced by the state of Florida after the US Supreme Court banned sentences of life without parole for juveniles who do not kill anyone. In the discussion over the need to revisit cases and re-sentence the offenders, one retired judge was quoted:
"There are no resources in prisons for rehabilitation,'' the former judge said. ``You give him 30 years, and he'll get out when he's 45, what's he going to do? Re-offend. Some people, regardless of their age, need to be put away forever."

My husband and I enjoy serving this tasty chicken to company as well as family. It looks like we fussed, but it's really fast and easy to fix. I found the recipe years ago and have made this dish many times. It usually prompts recipe requests.
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. In a third bowl, combine bread crumbs and cheese. Dip chicken in flour, then eggs; coat with bread crumb mixture.
- Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Drizzle with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon over the chicken. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes or until tomato mixture is heated through. Yield: 4 servings.

Great camera, super easy to use out of the box. Picture quality for this type of camera is superior. Very pleased with the functionality of the unit. Pros: Light weight, compact, great picture quality, quick start for picture taking. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Camera Written By JohnE, Arizona on Monday, March 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a wonderful camera. It produces beautiful photos and is very compact and easy to carry. Also, the WiFi function was not too difficult to setup and permits very easy downloading of photos to the computer. Pros: Great pictures, compact size and WiFi. Cons: None so far. Was this review helpful? Yes No good camera Written By Andy A, Charlottesvillle,VA on Wednesday, February 04, 2015 happy with it so far. Was this review helpful? Yes No 340 HS Written By R L Baird, Seattle, WA on Tuesday, January 06, 2015 I've been enjoying my new camera for a couple of months and it is better in every way than my 300! Was this review helpful? Yes No Canon PowerShot Elph340HS Written By Franck C., California on Monday, November 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a Canon SLR and have been very happy with the results from it.The Elph340 takes very good, sharp, true color photos. It is very quick to turn on and very good on the various Automatic settings. A very good backup to the larger SLR Pros: Quality+ Good battery life. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice camera Written By Powershot 340 HS, Kansas on Sunday, November 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The pictures are great quality and the zoom is everything you should expect from a camera this size. I have seen some other Powershot models with a flash that pops up; I think that is a bad design because that is where most people hold onto the camera. The 340 HS has the flash on the front and it works like a charm. Pros: Great price; nice, clean pictures; nice zoom. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Canon Power Shot Elph 340 Written By Debbie, California on Monday, September 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After my son reviewed several small cameras for me, he suggested this little guy. Sometimes I am electronically challenged, so this camera was perfect. I got some very good photo's of my husband at Pike's Market and the Space Needle. I found it's ease of use fit me perfectly. I'm planning on purchasing another one or two more for my sons as a Xmas gift. This is a small but mighty camera. Pros: Very easy to use. Clear and concise photos. Small but works as well as larger cameras. Cons: Didn't come with a memory stick. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Impressed Written By Quentin, New Oxford, PA on Monday, July 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am very pleased with this camera. The included guide is quite adequate for me. I did go online and tried to find the complete guide but had difficulty getting to it. It didn't list the ELPH 340 HS. It takes very sharp pictures. I recommend this camera. Pros: Nice size and very light. Cons: The arm strap is very diffficult to attach to the camera. 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Superb little camera Written By Kyle, Upstate NY on Thursday, April 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my 3rd Canon. I love the the ease of controls. It goes from start button to shoot almost instantaneously. The quality of the shots are amazing for a camera this size. The zoom is quick and focus is effortless. Pros: Size of camera with a zoom. Speed of use after turning on. Cons: Wifi works well but took a while to figure out software. That is mostly my problem. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Review of Canon Powershop Elph340HS Written By Avid Outdoor Person, Northern NJ on Tuesday, April 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I like this camera, easy to use if you just want to use the basic auto control functions. My biggest complaint (why it gets a 4 Star rating) is the lack of a decent manual. The one supplied is just a quick use guide - you have to go online to get the full version. Takes good photos - easy to transfer to another media or to cloud storage. Pros: Takes good photos, small compact size, easy to transfer photos via Bluetooth or WiFi. Cons: Must go on line for decent manual. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The Coordinated Universal Time code (UTC) information can also be added to the image file to indicate the shooting date and time. Image Sensor/Processor: The camera is equipped with a 1/2.3" CMOS image sensor with 16.8-million total pixels, and 16.0-million effective pixels. Optics: The ELPH 340 HS has a 12x optical zoom lens with a 4.5-54.0mm focal length (35mm equivalent is 25-300mm). Zoom: In addition to the 12x optical zoom, the camera features a 4x digital zoom. When used in combination, the total zoom is approximately 48x. The focal length when using the optical zoom and digital zoom together is approximately 25-1200mm. Digital Teleconverter: The focal length of the lens can be increased by an equivalent of 1.6x or 2.0x through the use of the Digital Teleconverter. The equivalent focal lengths of the lens (35mm equivalent) are 40-480mm when using the 1.6x digital teleconverter, and 50.0-600.0mm with the 2.0x teleconverter. The digital zoom and digital teleconverter cannot be used simultaneously. Recording Media: The camera records still images or moving images with stereo audio on SD Memory Cards (2GB or less), SDHC Memory Cards (4GB to 32GB), and SDXC Memory Cards (32GB and higher). The camera does not have internal memory, nor does it include an SD card, so you will be required to obtain a memory card before recording. Still Image Resolution/Compression: The ELPH 340 HS can record still images in JPEG format in 4 different sizes (Large, Medium 1, Medium 2, and Small) and 4 aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 3:2, and 1:1). For each resolution, you can set the compression to SuperFine or Fine.

You can also record with a Miniature Effect at HD 1280 x 720 or 640 x 480 at 6 fps, 3 fps, or 1.5 fps. Intelligent Image Stabilization: The ELPH 340 HS is equipped with Intelligent image stabilization (Intelligent IS). To correct the effects of camera shake, the camera automatically chooses one of the following IS modes for the shooting condition: Normal: applied for still images Panning: for still images when panning Hybrid IS: for Macro shots Dynamic IS: for movies, reducing strong camera shake as when shooting when walking Powered IS: for movies, for subtle camera shake, such as when shooting movies at telephoto Tripod IS: no image stabilization applied Face Detection Technology: The camera's Face Detection Technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash, and white balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and backgrounds are properly exposed. Smart Shutter automatically shoots a picture after detecting a smile, even without pressing the shutter release button. Focus Lock: If it becomes difficult to focus on the subject due to low contrast to the surroundings, close up and far away subjects in the same shot, or quickly moving subjects, you can choose to lock the focus or auto focus on an object at a similar distance, then shoot the picture after recomposing the shot. Focusing Range: The camera features the following focus ranges (from the end of the lens): Auto: 0.4" to infinity (W), 3.3' to infinity (T) Normal: 2" to infinity (W), 3.3' to infinity (T) Macro: 0.4" to 1.6' (wide) Infinity: 9.8' to infinity (W/T) Shooting Modes: You can choose between several shooting modes. In the Smart Auto mode, the camera will automatically select the best settings for the scene, detect and focus on faces, and set the color and brightness to optimal levels. The Hybrid Auto Mode lets you make a short movie of the day (digest movie). When you record a still image, the camera will automatically record a movie clip of the scene immediately before each shot. The Program setting gives you more freedom to change camera settings, such as the ISO sensitivity, metering method, white balance, and image colors. You can also choose from shooting modes that match specific scenes: Portrait, Handheld NightScene, Snow, and Fireworks. If you wish to add special effects to images while shooting, you can choose from Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Fish-Eye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, and Monochrome. Creative Shot: The Creative Shot feature takes an original photo and produces up to five additional variations at the same time. You can choose from the following effects: Retro (resembles old photos), Monochrome (generated in one color), Special (bold, distinctive images), Natural (subdued, natural-looking images), or Auto (all effects). The six images from each shot are managed together as a group, and can be played back in the group, or individually and ungrouped. Continuous Shooting: In the Program mode, the camera will continuously take pictures at approximately 3.9 frames per second, as long as you hold down the shutter button. The image size is not limited, and the focus and exposure are determined when you press the shutter button halfway. In High Speed Burst mode, the camera will continuously take pictures at approximately 10.5 frames per second at a lower resolution (2304 x 1728). Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes: Evaluative: used for standard conditions. The area within the frame is divided into several zones and light is measured based on subject position, brightness, direct light and backlighting. Center-Weighted Averaging: averages the exposure from the entire image, but places more weight on the subject at the center Spot: meters the area within the spot AE point at the center of the LCD monitor or viewfinder Exposure Compensation: If you are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may need to correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You can set the adjustments from -2 to +2 in 1/3-step increments. Locking the Exposure Setting (AE Lock): You can set the focus and exposure separately to shoot. When the exposure is set, you can lock the setting, then compose the scene and shoot. This is effective when the contrast is too strong between the subject and background, or when a subject is backlit. Flash Exposure Lock (FE Lock), just as with the AE lock, lets you lock the exposure for shooting with the flash. White Balance: You can choose from the following white balance settings: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, and Custom. Flash Modes: The PowerShot ELPH 340 HS has a built-in flash with a range of 1.6' to 13' in Wide Angle and 3.3' to 6.6' in Telephoto. You can select Auto (flash fires in low light), On (flash always fires), Slow Synchro (illuminates subject in foreground while the slow shutter speed brightens the background not reached by the flash), or Off (flash doesn't fire). In the menu, you can turn on the Red-Eye Reduction lamp for the flash, and apply Red-Eye Correction to the images that have been taken. ISO Speed: The ISO speed can be set Automatically (ISO Auto), or manually to ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200. Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images but there's a greater chance of subject or image blurring in certain shooting conditions. Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing blurred images. The images, however, will appear more coarse. My Colors: You can choose the look and feel of the photos you take by using My Colors to add the following effects to the image you are currently recording or have already recorded: Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, B/W, Positive Film, Lighter Skin, Darker Skin, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red, and Custom Color. Self-Timer: The ELPH 340 HS utilizes a 10-second, 2-second, and a custom self-timer to allow the photographer to be included in the shot, or to avoid camera shake when using a tripod. The custom self-timer allows you to set the time delay to 1-15, 20, 25, or 30 seconds for up to 10 shots. Wink Self Timer: In addition to the standard and custom self-timers, the ELPH 340 HS can be set to record an image of a person approximately two seconds after detecting a wink. Face Self-Timer: The Face Self-Timer automatically detects an increase in the number of faces, and makes the appropriate adjustments. When the Face Detection Self-Timer is set, the camera waits for the photographer's face to get on-camera before it takes the shot. The camera will shoot, two seconds after the new face is detected. Playback, Editing and Print Functions Slide Show: Images stored on a memory card can automatically be displayed one-by-one using the Slide Show function. You can set the playback time for each image, and the transition effects when switching between images. If desired, you can repeat the slide show automatically. Index Display: This feature allows you to view 6, 12, 16, 36, or 100 images at once on the LCD monitor so that you can search for an image quickly. Movies cannot be played in the index playback mode. Magnifying Images: Using the zoom button, you can magnify a photo up to 10x. Once zoomed in, you can use the "arrow" buttons to move around the displayed area. Playback Displays: You can choose from three types of displays: No Information: screen includes no information about the image Simple Information: screen includes basic information about the image Detailed Information: screen include a histogram display as well as detailed information about the settings used when the image was captured. Resizing Images: You can save images a lower recording pixel setting than the original image, saving the resized image as a separate file. Cropping: You can cut out a portion of a recorded image and save it as a new image file. Protecting Images: The protect feature allows you to protect important images from accidental erasure. You can protect images by the image itself or select All Images. PictBridge: Using the supplied USB cable, you can connect this camera directly to a PictBridge-compatible printer of any brand. In this way, you can make prints directly from the camera without having to connect to a computer.

Interpretive Handbook
89468 :
SOS1 Gene, Known Mutation, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant disorder of variable expressivity characterized by short stature, congenital heart defects, characteristic facial dysmorphology, unusual chest shape, developmental delay of varying degree, cryptorchidism, and coagulation defects, among other features. Heart defects include pulmonary valve stenosis (20%-50%), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (20%-30%), atrial septal defects (6%-10%), ventricular septal defects (approximately 5%), and patent ductus arteriosus (approximately 3%). Facial features, which tend to change with age, may include hypertelorism, downward slanting eyes, epicanthal folds, and low-set and posteriorly rotated ears. Mild mental retardation is seen in up to one-third of adults.
The incidence of NS is estimated to be between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 2,500, although subtle expression in adulthood may cause this number to be an underestimate. There is no apparent prevalence in any particular ethnic group. Several syndromes have overlapping features with NS, including cardiofaciocutaneous (CFC), Costello, Williams, Aarskog, and LEOPARD (lentigines, electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic stenosis, abnormal genitalia, retardation of growth, and deafness) syndromes.
NS is genetically heterogeneous, with 4 genes currently associated with the majority of cases: PTPN11, RAF1, SOS1, and KRAS. Heterozygous mutations in NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, SHOC2, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, and CBL have also been associated with a smaller percentage of NS and related phenotypes. All of these genes are involved in a common signal transduction pathway, the Ras-MAPK pathway, which is important for cell growth, differentiation, senescence, and death. Molecular genetic testing identifies PTPN11 mutations in 50% of individuals. Mutations in RAF1 are identified in approximately 3% to 17%, SOS1 approximately 10%, and KRAS less than 5% of affected individuals. NS can be sporadic and due to new mutations; however, an affected parent can be recognized in up to 30% to 75% of families.
The SOS1 gene comprises 23 exons and encodes a 150-kd autoinhibited RAS-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor. After receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) stimulation, SOS1 is recruited to the plasma membrane, where it acquires a catalytically active conformation and catalyzes activation of the Ras-MAPK pathway. Reported NS-associated mutations in SOS1 are missense, gain-of-function mutations and are believed to abolish autoinhibition, which leads to increased and prolonged Ras activation.
In addition to Noonan syndrome and related phenotypes, an insertion mutation in SOS1 that creates a premature stop codon at residue 1106 was identified in an extensive Brazilian family with hereditary gingival fibromatosis, an overgrowth condition characterized by a benign, slowly progressive, nonhemorrhagic, fibrous enlargement of maxillary and mandibular keratinized gingiva.
Genetic testing for SOS1 mutations can allow for the confirmation of a suspected genetic disease. Confirmation of NS or other associated phenotypes allows for proper treatment and management of the disease and preconception, prenatal, and family counseling.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Genetic testing of individuals at risk for a known SOS1 mutation that has been identified in a family member
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
All detected alterations will be evaluated according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics recommendations.(1) Variants will be classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Patients who have received a heterologous blood transfusion within the preceding 6 weeks, or who have received an allogeneic blood or marrow transplant, can have inaccurate genetic test results due to presence of donor DNA.
This test is for individuals who are at risk for a SOS1 mutation that has been previously identified in the family. If the familial mutation is not known, the familial proband should be screened for a SOS1 mutation using the full gene sequence assay (SOS1 / SOS1, Full Gene Sequence, Blood).
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

ON THIS PAGE: You will read about your child's medical care after cancer treatment is finished and why this follow-up care is important. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
After treatment for medulloblastoma ends, talk with your child's doctor about developing a follow-up care plan. This plan may include regular physical examinations and/or medical tests to monitor your child's recovery for the coming months and years. All children treated for a CNS tumor, including medulloblastoma, should have life-long, follow-up care.
Based on the type of treatment your child received, the doctor will determine what examinations and tests are need to check for long-term side effects, such as cognitive (thought-process) and hormonal symptoms caused by radiation therapy to the brain or spinal cord, side effects caused by surgery, and the possibility of secondary cancers. Follow-up care should also address your child's quality of life, including any developmental or emotional concerns. Learn more about childhood cancer survivorship.
The child's family is encouraged to organize and keep a record of the child's medical information. That way, as the child enters adulthood, he or she has a clear, written history of the diagnosis, the treatment given, and the doctor's recommendations about the schedule for follow-up care. The doctor's office can help you create this. This information will be valuable to doctors who care for your child during his or her lifetime. ASCO offers treatment summary forms to help keep track of the treatment your child received and develop a survivorship care plan once treatment is completed.
Children can also enhance the quality of their future by following established guidelines for good health into and through adulthood, including not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and participating in regular physical activity. Talk with the doctor about developing a plan that is best for your child's needs. Learn more about the next steps to take in survivorship.
The next section offers a list of questions you may want to ask. Use the menu on the side of your screen to select Questions to Ask the Doctor, or you can select another section, to continue reading this guide.

The reading list
"Lovers of ink and paper, take heart. Reports of the death of the printed book may be exaggerated.
"Ever since Amazon introduced its popular Kindle e-reader five years ago, pundits have assumed that the future of book publishing is digital. Opinions about the speed of the shift from page to screen have varied. But the consensus has been that digitization, having had its way with music and photographs and maps, would in due course have its way with books as well. By 2015, one media maven predicted a few years back, traditional books would be gone.
"Half a decade into the e-book revolution, though, the prognosis for traditional books is suddenly looking brighter. Hardcover books are displaying surprising resiliency. The growth in e-book sales is slowing markedly. And purchases of e-readers are actually shrinking, as consumers opt instead for multipurpose tablets. It may be that e-books, rather than replacing printed books, will ultimately serve a role more like that of audio books—a complement to traditional reading, not a substitute.
"A Pew Research Center survey last month showed that the percentage of adults who have read an e-book rose modestly over the past year, from 16 percent to 23 percent. But it also revealed that fully 89 percent of regular book readers said that they had read at least one printed book during the preceding 12 months. Only 30 percent reported reading even a single e-book in the past year."

Rachel Reeves
Assistant Admissions Processor
BS, Math, Texas Christian University, 2010; MAT, Match, Texas Christian University, 2012
Serving with DTS since: December 2013
Hi! So glad you are interested in DTS! I am very new to DTS and I am getting my first experience of it as an employee. I'm not a student yet, but I am praying about it, and I feel the Lord leading me in that direction. My job is to help process documents that are part of the applications. If you have any questions about the application process, feel free to call us! I really enjoy the encouraging work environment. You can truly tell the Holy Spirit is doing work here. I have felt welcome since my first day, and I know this hospitality translates to the students and prospective students.
Thanks for checking out our website and for you interest in DTS! Hope to see you during a campus visit soon!
What are your hobbies or outside interests?
Spending time in God's Word, arts and crafts, journaling, SciFi/fantasy books and shows, math, learning.
What made you decide to go to DTS?
I was about to venture into a full time career teaching high school math, but there was a moment where the Lord let me know that wasn't what He had planned for me at this moment. I say I stumbled upon this job, but I now know that the Lord meant for me to be here. I feel so blessed to work with such amazing and encouraging people!
What do you do on your day off?
My aunt is currently teaching me to make quilts, and it's especially fun to do in the winter. I have been attending a new church this year and I enjoy going to lots of church activities. Love playing with my black lab, Kobe. Even though he's 90 lbs, he is still my little puppy.
What are your favorite foods?
I really like Tex-Mex and pretty much any kind of dessert.
What is your favorite television show of all time?
This is an EXTREMELY hard question. I would have to say House and Eureka.
What is the best part about working in the DTS admissions office?
The best part is working with amazing people and getting to read all the salvation stories of applicants.
What is your favorite piece of literature?
Sounds really strange, but I just recently started reading for fun. I really enjoyed Divergent.
What is your favorite musical artist/group/genre of music?
Lately, I listen to a lot of Christian music. I really like the musical style of Hillsong United's "Zion." Songs that I really enjoy are ones with resonating lyrics. My favorite song right now is Laura Story's "I Can Just Be Me."
Who is the person you admire most and why?
I admire many people that I have met at First Baptist Irving. This last year I have come to know them much better. I admire their willingness to share their testimonies and to show Christ's love to me.
Who is your favorite Bible character and why?
Peter is my favorite, because he reminds me that even if there are times when we mess up or doubt it's still possible to have times when we can "walk on water."
If you could have superhero powers, what would they be?
To be able to read really fast.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
I love living in DFW; I don't think I'll ever be moving…God willing.

Hi Guys,
I am coding little around with Autohotkey myself.
Recently i have been working on a program that filters the "Print-Version" of certain
articles off a website.
Some URLs containing an extension like htm, html etc. some don't. "pid=123" etc.
What i want to do is to convert these URLS to a PDF for example using the following Syntax.
[copy or print]
URL2pdf.exe "www.google.de" "C:\google.pdf"
URL2pdf.exe "www.google.de" "C:\google.pdf"
to do this in background, too.
There are lots of solutions out there, that a private person is unable to pay for.
Thanks for any Comments...

Mansoor Ijaz has confirmed the purchase of a stake in Lotus and believes Nico Hulkenberg is the right man to replace Kimi Raikkonen...
Quantum Motorsports Chief Executive Mansoor Ijaz has confirmed the purchase of a stake in Lotus and believes Nico Hulkenberg is the right man to replace Kimi Raikkonen.
Ijaz revealed to Autosport after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that the purchase 35 per cent stake in the Genii Capital team has been completed after months of uncertainty.
The team's new investor also urged the Lotus team principal Eric Boullier to secure Hulkenburg's signature as a matter of priority.
"We as incoming owners and shareholders have made it very clear what our preference is," the Quantum chief told Autosport.
"I wish the transition had been smoother between Kimi and the next driver, who we believe will be Nico Hulkenberg, but sometimes in life things don't happen so clearly and as nicely as you would like them to."
Nevertheless, the American financier refused to comment on the exact details of the proposed deal for the Sauber driver.
"That part is not for me to comment on," Ijaz added.
"I can tell you the contract was prepared and ready to go.
"I know Nico is excited about doing this and I think it is a matter of a very short period before that is all finalised.
"Nico is a man well within himself.
"He is an up-and-coming driver; he has fairly long [career] life span ahead of him.
"In every sport the athlete has a fixed life span and if he has five or seven years left in him, that is enough for him to rise the very top of the pack with a good car, good technology and a strong team behind him."

European Union
European Union
Recent Activity
Migration flows that were stalled for a period by the pronounced recession that began in 2008 have resumed to a number of OECD countries, including the United States where there appears to be a slight increase in Mexican migration for the first time in several years. More migrants seem to be choosing emerging economies, including Brazil, China, and South Africa, over traditional destinations.
Belgium is often overlooked as a country of immigration because of its size and its less known history of immigration. Yet over the last three decades Belgium has become a permanent country of settlement for many different types of migrants. Our updated Belgium profile delves into modern migration flows and policies in Belgium which are inching away from a piecemeal approach towards a well-needed, long-term strategy.
Once known for large-scale emigration, Greece has become the main point of entry for unauthorized migrants heading toward Europe. The country must now — amid economic turmoil — grapple with issues related to its highly porous borders, mounting asylum applications, and inadequate immigrant-detention system.
With unemployment rates remaining persistently high in the wake of the global economic crisis, ongoing turbulence in financial markets, and new austerity in public spending, anxious publics and governments trained their attention on immigration and immigrants during 2011.
The Arab Spring exposed critical weaknesses and exacerbated long-held disagreements within the European Union related to asylum, immigration, and external border control policy matters that spilled over into the operation of the Schengen area.

It is crucial for children of migrant background in Europe to become proficient in their host country's main language of instruction. This MPI Europe policy brief provides key points and good practice examples on what comprehensive language support in Europe might look like.
For children of migrant background, school quality is critical to ensuring academic success. This MPI Europe policy brief examines how European policymakers can support school quality in four key areas: language diversity, the learning environment, social psychology and acculturation, and community connections.
Mentoring programs can target many core needs of children with an immigrant background that schools are not equipped to address, by providing specific and personalized support on the road to academic success. This policy brief prepared for the SIRIUS Network explores how European Union policymakers can make mentoring projects an integral part of the educational landscape at the EU level.
Whilst many European countries have well-established education systems, children with a migrant background are disproportionately among the underperformers and face a number of critical education needs that mainstream education policy does not currently meet. This policy brief prepared for the SIRIUS Network provides an overview of how education policies can be improved for children of migrant background.
In the coming weeks, the President-Elect of the European Commission and leaders of the European Union will discuss the new institutional map of the European Union, including new portfolios for the incoming college of Commissioners. Despite the fact that immigration is a critical challenge for the European Union, it has become harder for EU institutions to forge a strong policy. Perhaps as a result of this disconnect, one of the key ideas on the table is to create a Commissioner for Migration.
The European Council's new strategic guidelines, which set the pathway for future policy development in the area of Justice and Home Affairs in the coming years, seem unfeasibly insulated from today's migration and asylum realities and challenges confronting the European Union. The draft represents a missed opportunity to lead EU heads of state forward on critical issues in this area, MPI Europe's Director writes in this commentary.
This MPI Europe telebriefing, releasing the brief "Strengthening Refugee Protection and Meeting Challenges: The European Union's Next Steps on Asylum," examines Europe's current reality with respect to migration and asylum and assesses the possibilities for future development of EU immigration policy.
With the European Council meeting in late June 2014 to adopt strategic guidelines on asylum and migration policy, amid strains resulting from Syrian refugee migration and other flows, this MPI Europe policy brief identifies challenges and proposes a forward course. The brief recommends increased engagement by Member States in practical cooperation as a way to strengthen implementation and consolidation of existing EU laws and achieve more consistent asylum decision-making.

All volunteer jobs require a reference check. Some jobs may require a driving history check and proof of vehicle insurance. It will be noted if a driving history check and insurance is required.
Adoption CounselorRequires training with an experienced Adoption Counselor. Knowledge of breeds and breed traits is very helpful. Duties would include counseling potential adopters to help find the right pet for them and to make sure they understand the responsibilities and long term commitment necessary of owning a dog. Time is spent getting to know the dogs and their personalities to identify the most suitable home and assist prospective adopters with the selection of a pet best suited to their family and lifestyle. Adoption counselors would also make follow-up calls to recent adopters to request information about how their new pet is acclimating to their new home and offer support for any adjustment problems.
Dog WalkerWalk dogs for exercise, socialization, and training around the premises (and sometimes off premises). A walker provides dogs the opportunity to get out and stretch their legs, play and experience some basic training. A walker can also sit with dogs providing "quiet time" to help relieve them from the stress of shelter life. Some walkers may also take dogs around the Salem area and various parks (on a lead at all times) with manager's permission. Dogs are assigned to Walkers based on the dogs' needs, as well as the Walker's ability, training, and experience.
Foster HomeCare for one of our dogs in your home while they are awaiting adoption. If you love dogs, this can be one of the most rewarding jobs we have. Many people who provide a Foster Home may work during the day, but they should be able to spend evening time with the foster dog and give all the exercise, love, and attention the dog needs.
Office AssistantIncludes various administrative tasks such as typing, filing, researching computer records, photocopying, organizing adoption packets, and writing. Other tasks include making and answering phone calls, greeting the public and answering their questions as needed.
Outreach WorkersProvide transportation for dogs and equipment to and from the event. Set-up tables, reader boards, other information for outreaches. Interact with the public, providing them information on the shelter and adoption, and allow the public to interact with the dogs. Walk the dogs, keeping them on leash with "Adopt Me" vests and cleaning up after them. Make sure the event site is clean. Return the dogs and equipment to the shelter.
Shelter Technican AssistantAssist the Shelter Technicians in maintaining the safety and well being of the dogs while in our care. Help with dogs that are new to the shelter and those with behavioral concerns. This also would include assisting the Veterinary Technician if needed with tasks such as, handling dogs for evaluation, taking temperatures, and running tests. Clean up after dogs and assist with feeding. Previous shelter tech experience required.

Pros Attend Hawaii Rush Holiday Camp
Hawaii Rush have just finished up their 2012 Holiday Camp with special guests Tobin Heath (WNT), Colin Clark (Huston Dynamo/LA Galaxy) and Jordan Angeli (U20WNT) along with Erik Bushey (Colorado Rush TD).
The traditional event provides an excellent opportunity for the Hawaii Rush players to interact with and learn from top professionals in the country. Three days of hard work and detailed instruction from the coaches sparked new dreams and desire to improve on many of the young participants. Under the close supervision of the staff the players got the opportunity to execute difficult and sophisticated skills with quality. Coaches patiently broke down the skills during the learning phases and encouraged players to use their skills during games. They were kind enough to participate and be part of the games, allowing the players the opportunity that vey few are fortunate to have…play with the pros!

text: Dolphin Stories Friday, May 02, 2014 Diving Into Service 9:18 AM :: 4004 Views This spring, 95 members of the Le Moyne community rose early to spend a Saturday in service throughout Syracuse. The volunteers, including students, faculty, staff and family members, brought their hearts and hands to 11 off-campus sites and two on-campus locations, where they prepared and served food for the hungry, assisted at community centers and shelters that serve the poor and homeless population, and did hands-on chores and deferred maintenance such as cleaning, washing windows and painting at community centers that benefit the needy. The largest team of 28 people spent the morning with Friends of Schiller Park, working to prepare the park for neighborhood families to use this spring and summer. The volunteers' day began at 8:30 a.m. with a Rite of Commissioning at the Panasci Family Chapel and ended in the early afternoon with a lunch at the LaCasse Dining Center. William Dolan, S.J., a campus minister and principal organizer of the event, said that volunteers found the experience to be "deeply moving" and that "the staff at the places where they served were grateful for the help and praised the hard work and positive, cheerful and generous spirit of the Le Moyne group." For Margaret "Maggie" Conley '14, the highlight of the day was assisting the staff of St. James Emmaus Ministry in serving breakfast to those in need. "I was touched the graciousness of the people we served, and by the feeling of joy and light that came from the people we met," she said. "They gave us so much more than we could have given to them, as is always the feeling I receive from doing service." The service of which Conley spoke lies at the heart of the Jesuit tradition. The very year the Society of Jesus was founded – 1540 – its members opened a soup kitchen in a church provided for their use by Pope Paul III, the Madonna della Strada Chapel. It was there that they fed and ministered to members of the local community, beginning a tradition of service and a commitment to social justice that has characterized the order for the past five centuries. "We're all called to leave our desks and give a piece of our hearts to the poor and needy, tapping into the lives of people who struggle, meeting them, engaging with them," said Father Dolan. "My hope is that this helped to deepen our students' awareness of society's least-advantaged people and impressed upon them how important it is to lift up our fellow human beings." Since his election in March of 2013, Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pontiff, has called upon Catholics around the world to serve those in need, writing via Twitter that, "The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need, those who have nothing apart from their poverty." Comments By Lisa Mendez @ Monday, October 06, 2014 11:31 PM Kudos on giving back to the community. This is something that should be promoted among our youth and to be emulated by everybody.

Sonoma Collection 7" Chef Knife
Ceramic knife that will outlast your ordinary steel knives!
Laguna Cutlery ceramic knives provide a fresh, modern, elegant look that will make a huge impression on whoever handles one, and will become an irreplaceable arsenal in your kitchen.
Ceramic knives have a multitude of benefits that surpass the capabilities of a traditional steel knife, which include a razor-sharp lightweight blade that makes the job of slicing food effortless and provides unprecedented balance.
