Toast The Huron County Safety Council for having a fine demonstration Thursday of our area's emergency response network by bringing Life Flight, North Central EMS and Norwalk Fire Department's "Jaws of Life" to its monthly meeting. We take emergency workers for granted most of the time, but they always are there when we need them. They are like insurance we know we need to have it, but we hope we never want to use it.
Roast The accusation of misconduct by two unnamed off-duty Greenwich police officers when the subsequent investigation by Huron County Sheriff's Det. Sgt. Dane Howard found there was no evidence to prove anything. Couldn't the resources of both departments have been better spent? It's time now to get back to business for everybody involved.
Toast Mother Nature for bringing some much needed rain to our county this past week. It wasn't nearly enough rain, but we'll take what we can get in this drought. We all would like to see one or two "soakers" this week to help get the crops back on schedule and green up our grass. Also, the flowers could use a good shot of rain. Is that too much to ask?
Roast bad spelling, grammar, language and etiquette that ran rampant though the online comments made about the death of Michael D. Brant in a car crash on July 5. Since that time, a number of approximately 200 comments for just one of the three stories about his passing have been removed by the moderator because of foul language and threats made in the story comments on the Reflector Web site.

Simple precautions are urged to prevent head, neck injuries
SUNDAY, May 10 (HealthDay News) -- A few simple precautions can help prevent head and neck injuries related to recreational or work activities outdoors, health experts say.
Each year in the United States, about 1.5 million people are treated in hospital emergency rooms for head injuries, and nearly 12,000 are treated for neck fractures, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Though sports and recreational activities cause many of these injuries, there's also danger from common and seemingly harmless products in and around the house and yard, including lawn mowers, sprinklers, ladders, playground equipment, garden hoses and sprinklers and garden decorations, says the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.
When sports were excluded, the top 10 outdoor-related causes of head injury in 2007 were:
The association says that a few simple safety precautions can prevent most of these types of injuries. It suggests that people:

Well, right now the market cap is about what they have spent to develop the Zaruma Mine so far. The gold and silver in the ground, at Zaruma, Jerusalem and Dynasty Goldfields is valued at zero. Hopefully the buyout will put a fair value on the infrastructure and the resources. A lowball would be 4 or 5 bucks. We'll see what happens after the election, and the next quarter. Make or break time. Nice to see Sprott hanging in. I'd like to see Kinross take it out. If Zaruma got up and running efficiently, they could use it as a cash cow to fund the other properties. Wait! Isn't that what we were thinking Dynasty was going to do?

Building Drizzle on the OpenSolaris OS
Sun-sponsored, open-source Project Drizzle, which originated from MySQL code, aims at developing a lightweight SQL database for cloud and Web applications. Trond Norbye's recent posting tells you how to compile Drizzle on the OpenSolaris OS. You link to the proper header file, install the packages, the readline library, and the Google Protocol buffers; download and compile Bazaar; and, finally, check out and compile the source code.
Altogether, about 20 or so command lines and you're all set. As Trond points out, with Sun's VirtualBox, the process is even more of a cakewalk.

I'm getting this error and I have no idea how to fix it. I practically have zero coding experience so I only work from the wordpress dashboard.
I suddenly got this error. I haven't changed anything, haven't installed anything new.
I did recieve a email from one of my plugins (WordPress Firewall) saying it detected and blocked a potential attack. However, the IP adress listed is my own (a couple of months ago I managed to block myself from my website by blacklisting my IP adress.. woops!). I've been getting these emails for the past couple of days. Whenever I cleared my cache history and cookies I was able to re-enter my website and the "attacks" would stop. I meant to whitelist my IP adress, but I forgot.
I'm not sure whether the problem is my IP adress, or if it's completely down. I'm very confused. Any help at all would be appreciated immensely!

Destin-based company recognized by Newsweek, PC Magazine and others
Destin, FL (PRWEB) August 4, 2009 -- In 1999 Christina Timmons parlayed a background in health care marketing and public relations into a new online industry. That's when her company, O.I.S. Media, launched MDJobSite.com, http://www.mdjobsite.com, a physician job search website that will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2009. After its first year in business the company was featured in Newsweek magazine; the following year, in PC World. Other publicity and awards followed suit, and MDJobSite.com is now considered by many to be one of the top physician job boards in the country.
National articles about its technology notwithstanding, Timmons credits the success of her business to the company's strong emphasis on customer service, noting that the staff constantly seek feedback from clients to help them enhance the site's effectiveness. The formula seems to work well: one Wisconsin client recently wrote that "in today's business climate where technical support can be non-existent, and the staff rude and ineffectual, the staff of MDJobSite.com are timely, knowledgeable and professional. They are genuine in their efforts to provide service and a recruiting tool that is second to none in the industry."
MDJobSite.com helps organizations locate and hire physicians, giving

In Becky Masterman's chilling debut thriller Rage Against the Dying, heroine Brigid Quinn spent her FBI career hunting the worst sexual predators. She is tough and self-reliant. After Brigid was forced to take early retirement from the FBI, she left that world behind entirely. Now, she now lives a quiet life with her new husband Carlo and their two pugs. Former priest Carlo knows little about that life or the person Brigid was before they met. Everything changes when Brigid's past comes crashing into her present. A man named Floyd Lynch is arrested, and he confesses to being the Route 66 Killer. That case was one of the worst of Brigid's career, resulting in the disappearance of her protégé Jessica. Lynch knows some key details that were never publicized, and he leads authorities to Jessica's mummified remains. However, Brigid has reason to believe that his confession is false. Soon, Brigid realizes that she is being stalked, and she must find the killer to save herself.
Rage Against the Dying, which Masterman originally titled One Tough Broad, brings an exciting new character to the thriller world. Masterman says that her debut novel is "in some respects like a coming-of-age novel for an older woman." Although 59-year-old Brigid is very confident in her strength and abilities, she is still learning about being a wife and friend. Masterman, whose previous career was in forensic textbook publishing, brings a level of realism to the brutal crimes that Brigid has seen. Rage Against the Dying is the kind of thriller that keeps readers up late at night and might make them sleep with the lights on.
The renowned author of African literature, Chinua Achebe, has died in Boston at the age of 82. He is best-known for his seminal 1958 novel Things Fall Apart, read by millions worldwide, and featured in the curriculum and reading lists of countless high schools and universities. This novel follows the life of Okonkwo, a proud Igbo man living in turn of the 19th century Nigeria, and the cultural changes that he must face and accept as British colonialism takes hold of the area and the only life he knows. Achebe also wrote a number of follow-up novels to this groundbreaking story. Confined to a wheelchair for the past twenty years following a car accident, he lived in the United States for the last two decades of his life, and was a professor of African Studies at Brown University in Providence.
Achebe also was a strong proponent of the rights of the people living in the once-breakaway Nigerian state of Biafra. His book There Was A Country: A Personal History of Biafra was published last year. Explaining the Nigerian civil war that took place in the late 1960s, this mélange of memoir and history reminded the world of an oft-forgotten war. Achebe also wrote an allegorical folktale which was republished last year with Mary GrandPré's illustrations. How the Leopard Got His Claws tells the story of a short-lived coup and the resulting return of the original power players, in terms that are understandable for all ages.
In his first novel, Ghostman, Roger Hobbs creates an exciting world of double dealing, casino heists, crime bosses and an intriguing main character caught in the middle. The Ghostman goes by many aliases and stays separate from the rest of the world. He is careful not to live in one location for very long, has no close associates, and doesn't maintain a phone line or a personal email. He refuses to use his real name, but when a message comes to him for the persona Jack Delton, he knows that someone is contacting him to collect a debt. Years ago, the Ghostman made a fatal error during a heist in Kuala Lumpur, and Marcus, the mastermind of the heist, was sent to prison. Now Marcus has discovered a way to contact the Ghostman and he demands to be repaid with a very dangerous proposition involving stolen money from an Atlantic City casino. The money was newly printed by the Federal Reserve and contained a dye pack that will explode within the next two days. Marcus needs to find the thief and the cash, and contacts Ghostman with the general schematics of the plan. But plans with criminals can easily go awry, and soon our hapless anti-hero attracts the attention of a crime boss known at the Wolf as well as a rather tenacious FBI agent. It will take a great deal of nerve and every trick at his disposal in order to come out alive.
The story is fast-paced and exciting. It unfolds in present day Atlantic City with the current plan of action, but interspersed are chapters told in flashback and the reader learns the history behind Ghostman's debt to Marcus. Ghostman is a fantastic thriller that looks into the heart of the criminal world and examines what it takes to survive in such a hostile environment. Roger Hobbs is a new writer to watch, and is sure to please fans of nail-biting suspense.
The days are longer, the sun is shining, and flowers are starting to bloom. It's time to get outside and get moving! Evan Balkan offers a multitude of opportunities for fun and interesting local adventures in Walking Baltimore: an Insider's Guide to 33 Neighborhoods, Waterfront Districts, and Hidden Treasures in Charm City.
The well-known tourist attractions of Fells Point, Mount Vernon, and the Inner Harbor are of course represented, but this local author and CCBC professor also shares hidden gems that are spread across the breadth of the city. It is these lesser known corners of Baltimore which put the charm in Charm City, and these walks allow for a detailed exploration. Each area is presented as a 1 to 4 mile walk, and Balkan includes little-known facts, trivia, and stories about the neighborhood being toured. Forts, The Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum, and the Gwynns Falls are among the many sights included on these varied walks, which truly offer something for everyone from history buff, to sports fan, to nature lover. Balkan also offers tips on parking and public transportation, and rates the difficulty level of each walk from easy to strenuous so readers can plan accordingly. Finally, for a more customized look at the walks, Balkan separates them by theme in an appendix. Themes include American Firsts, Writers & Readers, Museum Madness, and Green Spaces.
Visitors and newly transplanted residents will appreciate this compact guide as a way to learn more about the city beyond the Inner Harbor. Old-timers will utilize this handy read as a way to rediscover Baltimore's rich history, beautiful landscapes, and fabulous neighborhoods. All will enjoy the exercise and savor the sampling of culinary delights to be found on each walk.
It wasn't merely a catchy slogan when the Lay's potato chip commercial challenged you to eat just one. Like the rest of the food industry, Lay's was banking on the fact that the ingredients in their products would make it difficult for consumers to stop crunching. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Moss's new book Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us will make you think twice before you pick up another cookie or sip another soda.
Moss explores how the processed food industry uses key ingredients to make their products more addictive, and the negative impact that those foods have had on our health. The processed foods that we find at our supermarkets are carefully formulated and tested to hit the consumer's "bliss point," the precise amount of sugar that will make the product most appealing to the greatest number of people. Through both the ingredients and the companies' carefully targeted marketing, consumers are manipulated to buy and eat more and more of these products. Moss goes beyond the nutrition of junk food. He also explores the science of food and creates a business history of the food industry. Salt Sugar Fat is an intriguing and sometimes terrifying, look at this one trillion dollar per year industry.
Pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Robert Lustig also takes on the food industry in Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease. After the US government recommended a low fat diet in the 1970s, the food industry responded by adding sugar to low fat products to make them taste better, which Lustig says has had disastrous results. Lustig, whose 90-minute lecture "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" has been viewed over 3 million times on YouTube, documents the connection between the added sugar in our food and the obesity epidemic.
Dan Champion was an undercover cop with the NYPD, on fire with ambition and with no regard for overtime caps or departmental boundaries. While combing through old case files, he discovers references to the "Fat Woman," a mysterious, legendary monster, responsible for countless human trafficking purchases and subsequent murders. His obsession with finding her and the consequences of this personal mission are the driving force of A Killer in the Wind by Andrew Klavan.
A sting operation Champion has arranged to bring down the Fat Woman falls apart, resulting in the loss of his job and exile to a sheriff's office in rural New York State. During his pursuit of the Fat Woman he took a street drug as a sleep aid, and he has since been haunted by ghosts and hallucinations. These visions raise many disturbing questions for Champion. How does he know the ghost boy's name is Alexander? Why is the woman in his vision so familiar that he believes he could be in love with her? His life is turned upside down when a woman's body pulled from the river turns out to be the very woman from his visions. The only words she utters before falling unconscious are "They are coming for us."
Klavan is an international best-selling author, gifted in writing all things action and adventure. A Killer in the Wind is fast-moving and adrenaline-charged as the author utilizes bursts of short sentences and strategically placed repetition to create an effect that propels the story forward by matching pace with the action. This adult thriller is just a step darker than his teen series The Homelanders, the first of which has been optioned as a feature film. In both cases, he proves to be masterful at sweeping readers up in a mysterious suspense-filled novel and taking them on a wild ride to the stunning conclusion.
Lawyer Lina Sparrow instantly knew she was staring at a drawing that transcended time. The young African American man at its center stood in a Virginia field with his hands at his side, waiting. More than 150 years may have passed, but Lina knew that the charcoal put to paper that day said as much about the subject as it did about the artist who created it. In Tara Conklin's shifting, stirring debut, The House Girl, two worlds coalesce, as the winds of past sins expose the fight for freedom and family identity that reach from present day deep into America's past.
In the plush law offices of Manhattan's prestigious Clifton & Harp, first year litigation associate, Lina Sparrow, has just been handed the class action case of a lifetime involving historic reparations for slavery. In locating a slave's descendant to act as lead plaintiff, she stumbles upon the story of artist Lu Anne Bell and her house girl, Josephine, who sometimes painted alongside her mistress. Josephine was seventeen in 1852 when she escaped from the failing Bell tobacco plantation. Now Mrs. Bell's paintings are highly regarded for their sensitive portrayal of her husband's slaves, but recent speculation has questioned their authenticity. Lina, herself the daughter of artists, delves deeper into the searing plight of Josephine. In doing so, she begins to question her personal life and her own sense of place.
Conklin, a lawyer by training, exploits the double narrative as the means to weave together a historic time period with the legal perspective of twenty-first century restitution. As the prose expands, uncovered correspondences lay bare the horror of slavery. Readers of The Help by Kathryn Stockett and Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker by Jennifer Chiaverini will enjoy this moving connection to the troubled past.
Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity is Andrew Solomon's exploration of the infinitely complex relationship between parents and children. He investigates the nature of parenting children who are exceptional in a variety of ways. Solomon interviews families with children who are prodigies, deaf, dwarfs, autistic, schizophrenic or are transgender, for example. He bookends these stories with his own experience at being both a son and father. There are common themes among parents whose children possess these unique qualities. The individual stories inspire every emotion—heartbreak, grief, anger and joy. Although very challenging, parents maintain their child's "difference" is a gift. The families often gain incredible strength and resilience.
Solomon's psychiatric and academic backgrounds add depth and context to the exploration of each "condition". He examines big issues such as identity, culture and "nature vs. nurture." He provides overall context, history, and the latest research. Thanks to his engaging storytelling skills, the information is readily accessible and truly fascinating.
Solomon is the perfect author for such a book. His previous work, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression, was the winner of fourteen different book awards and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He is a Lecturer in Psychiatry at Cornell University and Special Advisor on LGBT Affairs at Yale's University Department of Psychiatry. He writes with clarity and warmth about extremely complex issues. This book is highly recommended to regular readers of nonfiction, parents, teachers, and anyone hoping to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to parent a child.
The shroud of secrecy which surrounds an elusive artist is at the heart of Banksy: The Man Behind the Wall by Will Ellsworth-Jones. This former journalist presents an in-depth look at the reclusive artist from his beginnings as a nobody vandal all the way to the Academy Awards as producer of a nominated documentary. As unlikely as it would seem when reading about the beginnings of his journey, Banksy has somehow managed to become one of the world's best known and wealthiest living artists. His pieces, which once drew anger and police attention, are now securing millions of dollars at auction.
While Banksy, via his publicity organization Pest Control, refused Ellsworth-Jones' requests for interviews, the author manages to use secondary sources to shed light on this enigma. He talks with friends, acquaintances, and fellow artists to recount how this mystery man from Bristol, England, who refuses to be photographed or reveal his given name, turned the art world on its head. Readers will also meet fans who wait for hours to obtain limited edition prints and follow the author as he searches the streets for some of Banksy's works. Ellsworth-Jones also addresses the paradox that Banksy's commercial success has created for him and questions whether he is the sellout as so many of his contemporaries claim. This is a fascinating glimpse inside the world of street and outsider art, a social commentary, and a philosophical debate about the definition of art.
Many Americans probably got their first glimpse of Banksy (along with a distorted voice and hidden face) and his world in his 2009 documentary, Exit Through the Gift Shop. This intriguing Oscar-nominated film prompted one New York Times critic to coin the term "prankumentary," leaving viewers wondering whether the entire film is yet another hoax perpetuated by Banksy and his cult of followers.
If you had the chance to change an event in your life, would you? What if that change meant uncertainty, loneliness, and possibly death? The time traveler in Sean Ferrell's new novel, Man in the Empty Suit, becomes intimately acquainted with the chaotic, frightening, and liberating repercussions of seizing your destiny and altering your fate.
Ever since he discovered his ability, the time traveler has been jaunting along in time with no discernible mission other than exploring the ages for his own amusement. The only true continuity in his life comes from the party he attends each year on his birthday, where he mingles with all his other selves from other years. There is the Inventor, who first travels through time and initially sets up the party, the other Youngsters, who are younger than his current self, and the Elders, who are older and more knowing. He is surrounded by himself, and each year the party progresses in exactly the same way with each version playing the same role and saying the same lines as before to avoid breaking continuity with each other and altering the proscribed timeline. But the year he turns 39, events do not proceed as usual. Due to a single missed action, versions start ending up dead, memories the Elders have are disconnected from the current reality, and a mysterious woman named Lily appears at the party for the first time. It is the time traveler's job to set things right, but will he choose to return events to their original path or to forge a new destiny for himself?
This gripping, surreal story is full of emotional tension and psychological drama. Fans of time travel fiction, science fiction, and Stephen King's 11/22/63 will find this unusual and offbeat novel a compelling and thought-provoking read.

If one thing kept the Marcellus football team from a higher level of play in 2007, it was a defense that, by season's end, was banged up and prone to allowing big plays -- as Westhill's Dale Ross demonstrated in the Section III Class B semifinals.
As the 2008 season began last Friday night, the Mustangs still hadn't solved all those issues -- but it's moving in the right direction.
Just when it mattered, Marcellus shut out the Golden Knights in the fourth quarter, allowing for a comeback and a 23-21 victory.
This proved to be a back-and-forth affair as the Mustangs, 6-3 a season ago, blew a double-digit halftime lead, yet showed some resolve in rallying down the stretch.
Operating from the spread offense he had mastered while throwing for more than 2,100 yards last fall, junior quarterback Will Fiacchi led a trio of scoring drives after HP went up 7-0 on Dan Fruscella's six-yard touchdown run.
Each drive ended in a different way. First, Marcellus drove to the one-yard line and had sophomore fullback Ricky Alfreds punch it home for the tying TD late in the opening period.
In the second quarter, when the Mustangs' drive stalled at the Golden Knights' 13, Fiacchi displayed his strong right foot, blasting a 30-yard field goal through the uprights and putting Marcellus ahead 10-7.
All that was left was to get a TD pass -- and Fiacchi obliged just before halftime, connecting with Joe Cornish on a 20-yard scoring strike to make it 17-7 going into the break.
As much as Marcellus dominated the second quarter, HP did the same in the third period. Fruscella returned with a 33-yard TD run that cut the margin to 17-14, and when the Golden Knights got the ball back, it drove to the three-yard line, from where Tyler Mann converted.

Yup... she deserves it. (ex-gf)
There is no light in this tunnel.
Yup... she deserves it. (ex-gf)
At least gamers can now pick between games with zombies and games with zombies AND guns.
The animation and look of the zombies are pretty good!
Very good!
I'm pretty happy with modo. I don't like working with blender, I tried... and I'll probably try again. I can get modo really cheap because I'm a student so money isn' really an issue (yet).
I'm taking an official break from modeling but you can see some of my work in my profile.
You don't really need a graphics tablet, it will "only" help you draw more precise. I would suggest you focus on creating a good base mesh. You can not learn it all in one go.
At least you're not taking it personal lol.
I was about to say: neat graphics.
But that's just a random image isn't it?
Sorry to come over harsh but are you just winging it?
I've seen the comic thing you guys tried, and you guys already have a few races defined with *some* backstory. But I get the feeling that the game itself is still pretty rough and you could simply say "well I deleted everything and I'm going to try it again" in the next video.
How about some story updates or an overview of the gameplay (besides kicking other rabbits and wolves). You can't keep making "general" asset-sets forever.
Just because it runs fine doesn't mean it can not be improved. Think about it like this, if you have 100k models, you can NOT add 4 of them in 1 arena. Have the arena look impressive (enough polygons) and add all shaders/lighting at a playable framerate for everyone.
If you can do it with 2k polygons, why make it 20k?
Well the positive thing is the face looks like a face... good job :p.
Some points to help you improve:
- the base mesh should have just enough definition so you don't have to guess what's it going to be. 344 polygons for a character is not enough.
- with each "level" you should try to sculpt as much as you can with it, don't keep adding levels just because it adds polygons. Keep it simple.
- level 7 is clearly too much for a character like this. This is because of 2 problems:
1) your base mesh is TOO simple, which results in having to up the levels quickly.
2) you do not push enough polygons in each level.
and maybe a final note:
- smooth doesn't mean good.
And what are you doing! I expect bleyblade action, lol :).
Keep it up, you'll get there.
True, it looks weird. The first thing I did was open her profile and check her activity points, ah well... we don't have to know everything I suppose...
" I'm married and have no kids, nor do we plan on it." <- that's good to know!
Good luck managing content - so you'll take some load off of Henley?
Well, just try to stay objective when you're looking for ways to improve.
Good luck!
How can the sue you for making Java work on the PSP (if it doesn't already)?
This looks weird. It's like the water level rises or the trees are growing underwater.
So why not make Java run on the psp and use the real game?
I think this poll's options are wrong. Self-thaught and "read documentation" mean the same thing!
No way anyone of you so called "I did this all by myself" did not read any sort of documentation. Of course you will learn by trial and error, but you always need documentation for the difficult parts that are not as simple as "what if I do this, oh look at that!".
For example to the OOP coders out there, no way you said "mmm I have a 'class_A' and I have this other 'class_B' what if I do 'class_A extends class_B'". How did you even know the word "extends" existed in the language? Or where to put it?
So yeah, I've learend by reading documentation. (source code is also a form of documentation btw)
Let the downvoting begin.
Luxology modo Luxology.com
I'll try to come up with something... no promises!
I see you've already got quite a few models done already. I would suggest you focus on the programming part now. Get some proof of concept going, and not just pre-rendered scenes.
Yes long time no see! I'm a silent wachter :p.
Sebastian-andersson.com <- your friend/former classmate has some beautiful work. This one goes in the "these guys are great" folder.
Even for $3 this game deserves a lot more polish.
- Better graphics, even just slightly...
- The "animation" of starting the jump needs to be a lot smoother
- The "flying" and "gliding" is really static/lineair
What target audience do you have? Little kids probably do not care.
I used this site to convert points to money: Xboxlive.ign.com
Geforce.cevo.com <- starcraft 2 event organised by Nvidia. You can sign in until 16th July 2011.
So hows the beyblade game going? Anyting "in-game" yet?
Very good, and somewhat late indeed, update. Good work!
Suggestion: filter the database so that "shotcut" games do not show in the list of sellable games. And do not count them as part of the Desura catalog, it's giving the customer the wrong impression.
Rovio is a company not a person?
"Rovio is an entertainment media company based in Finland, and the creator of the globally successful Angry Birds franchise. Rovio was founded in 2003 as a mobile game development studio, and the company has developed several award-winning titles for various mobile platforms."
If you are going for "contributors" instead of an actual team, it would be a good idea to make a list of whatever you need - with reference to the art style and polygoncount or any other information you have to guide the asset creation workflow.
People might think the banana-model they made in 5 minutes will look good in your mod.
Switch: switches between states. A light switch turns the lights ON, and if you press it again - OFF.
Button: sends a signal (either short pulse or for as long as you are pressing the button) to another system. The power-on "button" of the computer sends a signal to the motherboard.
I guess...
thanks for including me in the list lol...

Cows generally are not a problem because they move pretty slowly. Bears are really bad because where I live there are black bears, which are almost impossible to see at night even with HIDs. Deer are the worst.
The system I envision is really for detecting the fast moving animas such as deer that are in the woods along the side of the road and are on the move towards the path of the car. Those are the deer that pop out of the brush on you at the last second because they are spooked by something and get into the path of the car and are unavoidable. The system should be able to detect a deer running through the woods several hundred yards from the road that are head towards the path of the car. The system should alert the driver of the threat so he can slow down and increase his sense of awareness that an animal could jump out into the path of the car. Coming upon deer that are static objects on the side of the road are usually avoidable; unless they are around a corner.
I made my statement because I have hit a deer, and there is no system in the world that could have prevented it. I was on a heavily wooded 30 mph road and the deer came out perpendicular to me in a full run, I got her right in her side.

TUESDAY, May 14 (HealthDay News) -- Women who have a hysterectomy are not in danger of increasing their risk of cardiovascular disease later in life, a new study says.
Although earlier research had found higher chances of cardiovascular disease in the years following a hysterectomy, different criteria were used in this latest study, the researchers noted.
"If women are contemplating hysterectomy, they don't need to be worried about increased cardiovascular risk," said study author Karen Matthews, a professor of epidemiology and psychology at the University of Pittsburgh.
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the uterus; sometimes the ovaries are also removed, to lower the risk of cancer.
Previous studies found an increased risk for conditions such as coronary heart disease, stroke and heart failure in women who underwent a hysterectomy.
Unlike other studies, however, the new research included only women who had a hysterectomy in midlife and who didn't have their ovaries removed due to cancer, Matthews explained.
"It is possible that women who have a hysterectomy when they are young have an increase in cardiovascular risk," she noted.
The report was published May 14 in the online edition of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
To see if a hysterectomy actually increased a women's risk for cardiovascular disease, Matthews' team collected data on more than 3,300 premenopausal women who took part in a national study on women's health.
They compared cardiovascular risk factors before and after the women had elective hysterectomy with or without ovary removal with women who had a natural menopause.
These risk factors included cholesterol, blood pressure, inflammation, blood sugar and insulin resistance, Matthews said.
Matthews' group found there were changes in cardiovascular risk factors after a

NICOSIA, Cyprus | Russian money and influence have long made a splash on this Mediterranean resort island, where a suspected Russian spy paymaster vanished after being allowed to walk free on bail.
The ties go right to the top: Russian energy giant Lukoil has a big presence, and the Greek Cypriot president, a communist who studied in Moscow, is expecting an illustrious visitor in October - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
Embarrassed authorities searched airports, ports and yacht marinas Thursday for the suspect, identified as Christopher Robert Metsos. Freed on $33,000 bail, he failed to show for a required meeting with police on Wednesday.
There's no evidence for now that the deep Russian presence in Cyprus played a role in his release, but the Cypriot government is under pressure to explain the bewildering fumble involving a man wanted in the United States for reportedly operating a Russian spy ring there.
Nine others charged in the case faced bail hearings Thursday in federal courts in New York, Boston and Alexandria, Va. A 10th defendant was denied bail on Monday. Most of the suspects are charged with crimes that carry penalties of up to 25 years.
The case, a throwback to the Cold War era, recalls Cyprus' own heyday as a place of intrigue, a listening post for spies of all stripes who maneuvered in the Middle East and a convenient transit point for the shady figures of espionage.
Greek Cypriot police examined surveillance video from crossing points on the war-divided island, fearing the suspect may have slipped into the Turkish Cypriot north, a diplomatic no-man's land recognized only by Turkey.
But the fugitive might feel more at home in the Greek-speaking south, where tens of thousands of Russians own mansions and offshore accounts, read Russian-language newspapers and send their children to Russian schools. Recently, the tourist town of Limassol hosted a Russian festival that was opened by Greek Cypriot President Dimitris Christofias.
Cyprus is a top gateway of foreign investment into Russia and is a popular destination for Russian capital because of low taxes. Cypriot firms have been used as holding companies to avoid taxation in Russia. In recent years, Cyprus took steps to open up bank records so Russian authorities could track tax dodgers.
The political links are tight, too. Mr. Christofias, the only communist head of state in the European Union, earned a doctorate in history in Russia and speaks the language. He has welcomed Russian support for peace talks with the Turkish-speaking north, and his foreign minister met his Russian counterpart last week.
In Nicosia, Justice Minister Loucas Louca admitted that a judge's decision to release Mr. Metsos "may have been mistaken" and said authorities were examining leads on his possible whereabouts.
"We have some information, and we hope that we will arrest him soon," Mr. Louca told reporters.
The balding, bespectacled Mr. Metsos, 54, is wanted in the United States on charges that he supplied money to the spy ring that reputedly operated under deep cover in America's suburbs.
In Washington, the Justice Department expressed disappointment Thursday that Mr. Metsos was freed on bail. "As we had feared, having been given unnecessarily the chance to flee, he did so," said Dean Boyd, a spokesman for the department's National Security Division.

Americans will cast their votes today for president, and if reports are accurate, a few days later Vice President Xi Jinping of China will ascend to the chairmanship of the Chinese Communist Party, the first step in his assuming the presidency of China sometime in 2013.
The installation of these leaders provides a unique opportunity to help reshape the Sino-U.S. relationship in a positive direction. This could be a critical step given that there have been issues raised in both countries which would suggest that no matter who is sworn in on Jan. 20 in Washington, the relationship between China ...

Book Club - The Rosie Project
To kick off this year's first batch of Waterstones Book Club titles, we have Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project. Here's Graeme on writing the book and our Waterstones Cardholder reading group discussing it...
I read a mixture of non-fiction and fiction. Probably half of my non-fiction reading is about writing in all its forms, from drama to songwriting. There's always something new to learn or an idea that helps a problem I'm working on. Right now: The Cheeky Monkey by Tim Ferguson, who taught me comedy writing. My other non-fiction reading is very broad, with a good dose of science – I once wanted to be a theoretical physicist. Jared Diamond's The Third Chimpanzee started me on a jag of reading about evolutionary psychology and provided material for The Rosie Project.
My fiction reading is driven by my wife, a voracious reader who knows what I will like, and publishers who send me advance copies to review. And occasionally I choose a book myself, based on reviews and recommendations. I read an advance reader copy of Matthew Quick's Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock and enjoyed it so much I grabbed The Silver Linings Playbook. As a screenwriter-novelist, I'm always interested in the craft of adaptation – and this one is a really interesting case study, as well as a totally recommendable book.
Writing has made me a critical reader: it's hard to relax and just enjoy the story. Reading Ben Schrank's Love is a Canoe (an advance copy for the Australian edition), I couldn't help focusing on craft as he interwove his stories of past and present (I was reminded, just a little, of A.S. Byatt's Possession). But in the end, content triumphed over form and I settled back and enjoyed an insightful take on relationships with a good dose of humor.
1. Do you have a reading ritual?
I often read before I go to sleep – so there's always a stack of partly read books by the bed. It's a dangerous practice, because if a book pulls me in, I'm going to miss out on sleep. But I don't have any rituals around reading itself. I just read.
2. Do you have a favourite time to read?
I read when I can. That can be any time of day – and even at odd hours, since I get a lot of reading done on international flights where I'm trying to get myself into a different time zone.
3. Do you have favourite music to listen to while you read? Or do you like to read in silence?
I'm a (late) baby-boomer, so I don't spend my life plugged into music. I listen to music when I drive, but not when I'm reading or working. I guess I like to focus on one or the other.
4. Do you have special reading clothes?
Are you kidding? People have special reading clothes? This is a bit like the questions I get asked about writing rituals, and the answer's the same – I just do it, in whatever I'm wearing (note that I read in bed quite a bit…). When I was a database designer – in my previous life – no one ever asked if I had special database design clothes. But the work was just as hard and almost as creative.
5. Do you read every day?
If you count the newspaper, email etc… But books – not every day, although most days before going to sleep I'll read a chapter of something. It's as close as I get to a ritual.
6. Do you Drink and Read?
I said I read in bed… And I do drink… So the answer is a firm yes. "Do I read drunk?" is a different question, appropriately (if not accurately) answered by "I never drink to excess." But in the hypothetical situation in which I drank too much, yes.
7. Do you read different books at different times?
Novels when I'm travelling – which is quite a lot. Non-fiction at night. A few facts to go to sleep on…
8. How many books to you have going at the same time?
I'm going to go upstairs and count the number by my bed. I'm back. 9. Plus one in my bag. About half and half fiction and non-fiction. I may not finish them all, especially the Dylan biography.

Article: Lidamycin inhibits tumor initiating cells of hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 through GSK3β/β-catenin pathway[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recently, tumor initiating cells are considered as the central role of tumorigenicity in hepatocellular carcinoma. Enediyne anticancer antibiotic lidamycin with great potential antitumor activity is currently evaluated in Phase II clinical trials. In this study, we evaluated the effect of lidamycin on tumor initiating cells of hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 and identified the potential mechanism. Flow cytometry analysis and sorting assay, surface marker assay, sphere formation assay, and aldefluor assay were used to evaluate the effect of lidamycin on Huh7 tumor initiating cells in vitro. To investigate the potential mechanism, the activity of GSK3β/β-catenin pathway was detected by Western blot and T cell factors transcriptional activity assay. Subcutaneous tumor model in nude mice was used to observe in vivo effect of lidamycin on Huh7 cells. Lidamycin decreased the proportion of EpCAM(+) cells and the expression of EpCAM protein. Lidamycin inhibited sphere formation of sorted EpCAM(+) cells in 7 d, and of parental cells in three serial passages. The population of aldehyde dehydrogenase-positive cells was reduced by lidamycin. In addition, lidamycin restrained tumor volume and incidence in vivo. Lidamycin activated GSK3β, and degraded the activity of β-catenin. Consequently, transcriptional activity of β-catenin/T cell factors was decreased. In brief, these results suggest that lidamycin suppressed Huh7 tumor initiating cells via GSK3β/β-catenin pathway. These findings reveal the potential mechanism of lidamycin on tumor initiating cells and the benefit for further clinical evaluation. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Molecular Carcinogenesis 01/2015; 54(1).

Article: Phosphorylation of Myofibrillogenesis Regulator-1 Activates the MAPK Signaling Pathway and Induces Proliferation and Migration in Human Breast Cancer MCF7 Cells.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Myofibrillogenesis regulator-1 (MR-1) has been characterized as a tumor promoter in many cancers. However, its mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. Here, we report that MR-1 is overexpressed in human breast cancer cells and participates in tumor promotion in human breast cancer MCF7 cells by activating the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. MR-1 interacts with MEK1/2 and ERK1, and its N-terminal sequence plays a major role in promoting the MEK/ERK cascade. Furthermore, six phosphorylation sites of MR-1 were identified, and phosphorylation at S46 was shown to be critical for the activation of MEK/ERK. Therefore, our findings suggest that MR-1 functions as a tumor promoter in MCF7 cells by activating the MEK/ERK signaling.FEBS Letters 07/2014; 588(17).

Article: Myofibrillogenesis regulator-1 promotes cell adhesion and migration in human hepatoma cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Myofibrillogenesis regulator-1 (MR-1) is a gene overexpressed usually in many human cancers. However, the effects of MR-1 on cell proliferation, adhesion, migration and genome-wide gene regulation are still unclear. In this study, a human hepatoma cell line that highly overexpresses MR-1, BEL-7402/MR-1 cells was established. While the high expression of MR-1 did not promote cell proliferation, it significantly increased cell spreading, adhesion and migration compared with control cells. A total of 147 genes were regulated by MR-1 expression, 46 genes were down-regulated and 101 genes were up-regulated by MR-1 overexpression. Many of these genes were related to cell adhesion, cytoskeletal regulation, MAPK signaling, and cell cycle related pathways. Western blot analysis further confirmed the regulation of pathways associated with migration by MR-1. These results suggest that MR-1 is involved in the regulation of cancer cell adhesion, migration and related gene expression.Chinese Science Bulletin 08/2013; 58(24).

Article: The blockage of Ras/ERK pathway augments the sensitivity of SphK1 inhibitor SKI II in human hepatoma HepG2 cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a challenge and the future of cancer therapy will incorporate rational combinations directed to molecular targets that cooperate to drive critical pro-survival signaling. Sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) has been shown to regulate various processes important for cancer progression. Given the up-regulated expression of SphK1 in response to the silence of N-ras and other interactions between Ras/ERK and SphK1, it was speculated that combined inhibition of Ras/ERK and SphK1 would create enhanced antitumor effects. Experimental results showed that dual blockage of N-ras/ERK and SphK1 resulted in enhanced growth inhibitions in human hepatoma cells. Similarly, MEK1/2 Inhibitor U0126 potentiated SKI II-induced apoptosis in hepatoma HepG2 cells, consistently with the further attenuation of Akt /ERK/NF-κB signaling pathway. It was also shown that the combination of SKI II and U0126 further attenuated the migration of hepatoma HepG2 cells via FAK/MLC-2 signaling pathway. Taken together, the dual inhibition of SphK1 and Ras/ERK pathway resulted in enhanced effects, which might be an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of HCC.Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 03/2013; 434(1).

Article: Salmonella typhimurium strain SL7207 induces apoptosis and inhibits the growth of HepG2 hepatoma cells in vitro and in vivo[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Salmonella typhimurium is probably most extensively studied tumor-targeting bacteria and SL7207 is one of its attenuated strains. SL7207 was first made for bacterial vaccine development and its therapeutic efficacy and safety for hepatocellular carcinoma has not been characterized. In this study, the inhibitory ability of SL7207-lux on human hepatoma HepG2 cells was tested in vitro and in vivo. A bacterial luminescent gene cluster (lux CDABE) was transfected into SL7207 to better monitor the invasion of the bacteria. The results show that SL7207-lux can rapidly enter HepG2 cells and localize in the cytoplasm. This invasion represses cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. In vivo real-time invasion studies showed that the bacteria gradually accumulate in the tumor. This enrichment was confirmed by anatomic observation at 5 days after inoculation. About 40% of tumor growth was inhibited by SL7207-lux at 34 days post-treatment without significant loss of body weight. The area of necrosis of tumor tissue was clearly increased in the treated group. Bacterial quantification showed that the number of colony-forming units per gram of bacteria within tumor tissue was approximately 1000-fold higher than that of liver and spleen. These data suggest that attenuated S. typhimurium strain SL7207 has potential for the treatment of cancers.12/2012; 2(6):562–568. DOI:10.1016/j.apsb.2012.10.006
Article: CD133(+)EpCAM(+) Phenotype Possesses More Characteristics of Tumor Initiating Cells in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Huh7 Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: EpCAM or CD133 has been used as the tumor initiating cells (TICs) marker in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We investigated whether cells expressing with both EpCAM and CD133 surface marker were more representative for TICs in hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 cells. Four different phenotypes of CD133(+)EpCAM(+), CD133(+)EpCAM(-), CD133(-)EpCAM(+) and CD133(-)EpCAM(-) in Huh7 cells were sorted by flow cytometry. Then cell differentiation, self-renewal, drug-resistance, spheroid formation and the levels of stem cell-related genes were detected to compare the characteristics of TICs. The ability of tumorigenicity was measured in nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice to verify TICs. CD133(+)EpCAM(+) cells have many characteristics of TICs in Huh7 cells compared with CD133(+)EpCAM(-), CD133(-)EpCAM(+), CD133(-)EpCAM(-) cells, including enrichment in side population cells, higher differentiation capacity, increased colony-formation ability, preferential expression of stem cell-related genes, appearance of drug-resistant to some chemotherapeutics, more spheroid formation of culture cells and stronger tumorigenicity in NOD/SCID mice. CD133(+)EpCAM(+) phenotype is precisely represented TICs in Huh7 cells. It might be useful for studying biology mechanism of TICs in hepatocellular carcinoma and screening new targets for cancer therapy.International journal of biological sciences 08/2012; 8(7):992-1004.

Article: GAP161 targets and downregulates G3BP to suppress cell growth and potentiate cisplatin-mediated cytotoxicity to colon carcinoma HCT116 cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ras-GTPase-activating protein SH3 domain-binding proteins (G3BP) are overexpressed in various human tumors and participate in several signaling pathways involved in growth, differentiation and apoptosis. G3BP interact with RasGAP (Ras-GTPase activating protein) only in growing cells and depend on Ras activation, and participate in the Ras signal pathway. Therefore, the blockage and downregulation of G3BP may be a new strategy for cancer therapy. In this report, we demonstrate that a novel peptide GAP161 blocked the functions of G3BP and markedly suppressed HCT116 cell growth through the induction of apoptosis. The peptide bound with G3BP, which interfered with the interaction of G3BP1 with RasGAP and further suppressed Ras signaling pathways. GAP161 downregulated G3BP1 and G3BP2 proteins. Similarly, the knockdown of G3BP substantially decreased the proliferation of HCT116 cells and inhibited Ras signal pathways. Furthermore, the downregulation of G3BP could enhance cisplatin-induced apoptosis and growth inhibition of HCT116 cells. We also found that GAP161 suppressed the growth of BALB/c mice bearing colon CT26 tumors and nude mice bearing HCT116 xenografts. These results suggest that downregulation of G3BP might be useful in cancer therapy and that GAP161 is a promising new therapeutic agent for cancers.

Article: RasGAP-derived peptide 38GAP potentiates the cytotoxicity of cisplatin through inhibitions of Akt, ERK and NF-κB in colon carcinoma HCT116 cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To increase the efficacy of currently used anti-cancer genotoxins, a combination use of different drugs is a potential new therapeutical tool. Here, we reported that a synthetic RasGAP-derived peptide 38GAP with RasGAP(301-326) and TAT penetration sequences could enhance the effect of chemotherapeutic agent CDDP in human colon carcinoma HCT116 cells. Our results showed that 38GAP significantly increased the CDDP-induced apoptosis in HCT116 cells. This synergistic effect was associated with abrogation of CDDP-induced G2/M arrest by down-regulations of phospho-Cdc2 and p21, and inhibitions of phospho-AKT, phospho-ERK and NF-κB. In animal models, 38GAP combined with CDDP significantly suppressed CT26 tumor growth, while 38GAP alone showed slight inhibitory effect. Our data suggest that 38GAP in combination with chemotherapeutics will become a potential therapeutic strategy for colon cancers.Cancer letters 09/2011; 308(1):62-70.

PowerBoost brings conferencing to older Macs
updated 10:05 am EST, Fri November 16, 2007
PowerBoost conferencing
Ecamm Network has released a new Mac conferencing application, PowerBoost. The program is an add-on for iChat, and allows older Macs to use features more commonly reserved for the most recent systems. G4 Macs such as iBooks and eMacs can finally participate in multi-user conferences, which support up to 10 participants via audio, or as many as four via video. The program now also enables owners of PowerPC or Core Solo Macs to use the Photo Booth effects in Leopard's iChat 4, though backdrop effects are still off-limits.
Because the program assigns unusual priority to iChat, a CPU meter gauges how close a user is to overburdening their system. Mac OS X 10.4 or higher is required, as is iChat 3 and a broadband Internet connection. A single license costs $8, while a three-license pack costs $19.
