He is hitting .464 (39-for-84) during the span five doubles, 17 runs, 11 RBI and 11 stolen bases. The streak features 12 multi-hit games, including four three-hit games and one four-hit game. He has logged a first-inning hit in nine of the games. He has also reached safely in all 22 games. Reynolds still has some work to do for the school record. RJ Englert strung together a 28-game hit streak in 1972. In more recent history, Tyler Naquin logged a 27-game hit streak in 2011.
Cole Lankford has been playing his best collegiate baseball as of late. In his last 10 games (the Aggies' last 11 games), Lankford is batting .419 (18-for-43) with six multiple hit games, four doubles, two triples, one home run and 11 RBI. In the weekend series at No. 8 Cal State Fullerton, he went 6-for-13 with five RBI. In the last five games, Lankford has three 3-hit games, going 3-for-5 each time. In the series finale against Georgia, Lankford came up just a single shy of hitting for the cycle going 3-for-5 with three runs, one double, one triple, one home run and one RBI.
With the Aggies' midweek win over Houston Baptist on March 12, head coach Rob Childress reached the 300-win plateau for his career. Childress owns a 304-160-2 record, all as the skipper of the Aggies. He trails only Mark Johnson (876 - 1985-2005) and Tom Chandler (660 - 1959-84) on A&M's career win list.
This marks the seventh meeting between the two schools with Texas A&M owning a 4-2 all-time advantage. The squads first met in 1907 with A&M posting a 4-0 lead. After a 91-year hiatus, the series resumed with a three-game series in College Station in 1998. Ole Miss won the first game of the series, 17-3, but A&M bounced back for 6-3 and 3-2 victories to take the series. The Aggies toppled the Rebels 13-7 at the 1999 NCAA College Station Regional. Ole Miss is the last SEC squad the Aggies played before entering the SEC, losing to the Rebels 6-3 at the 2012 NCAA College Station Regional.
Ole Miss is one of the hottest teams in the country entering the series. The Rebels are 20-2 overall and 2-1 in the SEC. Junior catcher Stuart Turner has been on a tear to start the season, hitting .474 (36-for-76) with 17 runs, nine doubles, one triple, two home runs and 30 RBI in 22 games. Junior Preston Overbey is hitting .333 (24-for-72) with 12 runs, two doubles, one triple, two home runs and 16 RBI. Junior Austin Anderson (21), sophomore Auston Boudfield (22) and sophomore Tanner Mathis (20) all have 20 or more runs. The Rebels pitching staff owns a 2.42 ERA and holding opponents to a .227 ERA. Friday night starter Bobby Wahl is 5-0 with a 1.82 ERA. Closer Brett Huber is 2-0 with six saves.
The Rebels have advanced to the College World Series on four occasions, with the most recent appearance coming in 1972. Ole Miss won the 2009 SEC title, the sixth all-time, and most recently the Rebels won the league title in 2006. Ole Miss boasts 40 former players who reached the Major Leagues. The group is led by six-time MLB All-Star and two-time Gold Glove shortstop Don Kessinger and current Cardinals' All-Star right-handed pitcher Lance Lynn.
This season, eight pitchers have taken the mound as Aggies for the first time, including three true freshmen. The eight pitchers have combined to allow 14 earned runs on 54 hits and 31 walks over 72.0 innings. True freshman Grayson Long leads the group, posting a 3-0 mark with a 2.35 ERA and 24 strikeouts over 23.0 innings. Redshirt freshman Matt Kent is 1-1 in 11 appearances, racking up 9.2 frames, with five runs for a 4.66 ERA. Junior Jason Jester is 2-0 with six saves. He hasn't yielded a run in 16.1 innings of work, scattering seven hits and three walks while striking out 16. True freshman AJ Minter (3.2 IP) and sophomore transfer Nate Sorenson (0.1 IP) are unscathed on the year. Sophomore transfer Zach Brashear has allowed two unearned runs over 5.1 innings and redshirt freshman Ty Schlottmann has allowed one unearned run over 2.2 innings. True freshman Andrew Vinson has allowed three earned runs in 9.1 innings of work.
Jace Statum has been a catalyst at the bottom of the order the last six games. He has a .667 on-base percentage over the span with seven hits, seven walks and two sacrifice bunts in 23 plate appearances. He is batting .500 (7-for-14) with five runs, three RBI and two stolen bases over the five games. In the first 16 games of the season, Statum played in 12 games with just seven starts. He logged a .320 on-base percentage and .227 batting average (5-for-22) with five runs, three RBI and two stolen bases over the first 16 games.

Last 5 games .500 6-6 14 5 7 3 .500 7 0 1 .667 2 2-4
It's early in the season, but the Aggies' are on a brisk pace for stolen bases with 44 through 22 games. The current pace would give A&M 112 through a 56-game season. The school record is 151 set in 2007. Mikey Reynolds leads the team with 11 steals followed by Krey Bratsen with eight. Blake Allemand has seven steals and Charlie Curl and Jace Statum have chipped in with four apiece. Last season, A&M tallied 129 stolen bases which ranks third on the Aggies' all-time chart.
Still testing things out to find the solid lineup for the meat of the season, head coach Rob Childress has yet to duplicate a lineup in 2013, using 22 different batting orders. Krey Bratsen, Daniel Mengden and Mikey Reynolds are the only three players to start all 22 games and Bratsen and Reynolds are the only two to be in the batting order all 21 games.
The trio of Reynolds and Bratsen are also the only two to bat in the same spot in the order more than 11 times with Reynolds leading off all 22 games and Bratsen batting in the No. 2 spot 20 times. The Aggies have had nine different batters hit the No. 7 spot and eight different batters hit in the No. 6 spot. A&M has also had seven different batters hit in the No. 9 spot. Blake Allemand has hit in six different spots in the order.
The Aggies schedule features eight teams in the Baseball America Preseason Top 25 for a total of 20 games. The slate also highlights seven games against three teams in the BA Preseason Top 5 and 13 games against five teams in the BA Preseason Top 10. The Aggies play preseason No. 1 North Carolina and No. 18 Rice at the Astros Foundation College Classic at Minute Maid Park. They have a non-conference road series at No. 22 Cal State Fullerton. They have SEC series at No. 13 Ole Miss, No. 7 South Carolina and No. 3 Arkansas and SEC home series against No. 5 Mississippi State and No. 10 LSU.
The Aggies are 1-0 in extra innings this season. Texas A&M beat Georgia 2-1 in 10 innings in their Saturday affair at Blue Bell Park.
Now the Aggies' Friday night starter, Kyle Martin spent his first three seasons as a stalwart in the bullpen. He currently ranks fifth on A&M's career list with 82 appearances. With his anticipated start on Friday, Martin will move into a tie with Kyle Nicholson (83 - 2004-07) for fourth place on the career list. It will be a harder record to reach as a starter, but he's chasing Kyle Thebeau's record of 103 appearances between 2006-09.
With eight stolen bases on the year, junior OF Krey Bratsen moved into fourth place on the Aggies career stolen bases charts with 60. He is three steals shy third place, trailing No. 3 Steven Truitt (63 - 1997-99). Jason Tyner owns the school record with 118 from 1996-98.

WHEELING - Amanda Inman spent Sunday, Mother's Day, getting to know her brand new baby girl - Vanessa.
Inman, a Weirton resident, gave birth to her second child at 1:26 p.m. Thursday at Wheeling Hospital. She also has a 2-year-old son, Alec, with husband Matt Inman.
Vanessa weighed in at 6.15 pounds and 19.5 inches long - the same measurements for Alec when he was born. Vanessa and Alec were delivered by Dr. Chandra Swamy, who also delivered Inman and her twin sister, Melissa, 31 years ago.

MEET MOM — Weirton residents Amanda and Matt Inman enjoy their new baby girl, Vanessa, at Wheeling Hospital on Friday. -- Shelley Hanson
Inman said her sister is due to have a baby in June.
"She delivered my son and my daughter, and she actually will deliver my sister's baby as well," Inman said of Swamy. "We were the first set of twins she ever delivered. It's pretty cool to me that she delivered me and my children."
When Inman delivered Alec, her labor lasted 18 hours. Labor for Vanessa was much shorter, at 4.5 hours.
Inman said having her daughter so close to the Mother's Day holiday makes her birth even more special.
"I get to share her birthday close to Mother's Day. And my husband now will remember her birthday and Mother's Day," Inman quipped.
Swaddled in a pink blanket and wearing a shiny pink bow on her head, Vanessa slept peacefully in her mother's arms at the hospital.
"She's in sales and she's very good at it, but there's been several times when people have said to her that this is what she was born to do," Matt Inman said of his wife as she held their daughter. "She's told me that this is the most gratifying thing she's ever done."
Inman said after becoming a mom it made her think differently about her own parents.
"It makes you look at it in a different way. I have a great relationship with my mom, but I have a different respect for her - especially being a twin. Not raising one at a time but two - I don't know how she did it."
For new mothers and mothers to be, Inman advises them to cherish the time they spend with their little ones.
"Enjoy it because it goes fast," she said. "I enjoy everything about it - taking care of them," she said.
Matt Inman said he was amazed by how his wife had the energy to play with their son while she was pregnant - even at the nine months mark.
"It's amazing. I think it boils down to that's what you love to do. For me, I have to find another level of energy, I have to amp myself and it just comes naturally to her," he said. "I think she helps me more than I help her."
Inman believes the hardest part of being a mother is finding the right balance between work and motherhood.
"Most moms have to work and I think it's a challenge to work a full-time job and take care of a child," she said.
When Inman was a child, like most girls she enjoyed playing with baby dolls and Barbies.
"When I got older, I knew that I wanted to have at least two" children, Inman said.
Matt Inman said he knew early on that his wife would be a good mom.
"I think I knew from the moment I met her. You could see her with other people's children," he said. "She's a kind person, a selfless person. If those aren't the two most important qualities for a mom, I don't know what are."
Inman said her son appears to be adjusting quickly to having a sibling. When he went home after his first visit with her, he wanted to come back to the hospital to see her again.
"He actually warmed up to her yesterday. He was a little standoffish at first, but he seems to be excited about his baby sissy," she said.
On Friday, Vanessa was among 19 other babies in the hospital's nursery that day.

What does Ottawa County Environmental Health Services – Food Safety and Sanitation Division inspect?
The Ottawa County Environmental Health Services – Food Safety and Sanitation Division inspects food service establishments. These food service establishments may be fixed, mobile, or temporary. Food service establishments include the following:
- Restaurants
- Bars
- School Cafeterias
- Factory Cafeterias
- Coffee Shops
- Donut/Bagel Shops
- Ice Cream Shops
- Concessions
- Catering Kitchens
- Private Organizations Serving the Public
What training is required before an Environmental Health Specialist can conduct inspections?
Before one can become an Environmental Health Specialist, they must possess a minimum of a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Health or other science related field (chemistry, biology, etc.).
Prior to conducting food service inspections, the Environmental Health Specialist must complete twenty-five (25) joint inspections with a standardized trainer. They then must complete twenty-five (25) inspections on their own with each inspection scrutinized by the supervisor and/or standardized trainer. Next they perform five (5) joint inspections again with the standardized trainer.
In addition, at a minimum, they must complete a three (3) day Food Code training class, a two (2) day food borne illness training class, ServSafe Manager Certification training, and training modules provided by the Michigan Department of Agriculture. Other classes and continuing education are on-going.
Most Environmental Health Specialists also become Registered Sanitarians (RS) or Registered Environmental Health Specialists (REHS) by rigorous studying and successfully passing the four (4) hour registration exam.
How often is a food service establishment inspected?
According to Michigan law, food service establishments are inspected as follows:
- Establishments operating year round and school cafeterias are inspected once every six (6) months.
- Establishments operating nine (9) or fewer months each year shall be inspected once per season of operation.
The inspections described above are "ROUTINE" inspections. One or more "REINSPECTIONS" may take place shortly after a routine inspection to verify correction of violations. Routine inspections are unannounced. Reinspections are normally scheduled.
What does Ottawa County Environmental Health Services – Food Safety and Sanitation Division use as a basis to conduct inspections?
All food service establishments in Michigan must comply with the Michigan Food Law, Act 92 of 2000, as amended (MCL 289.1101 – 289.8111).
The Michigan Food Law adopted the 1999 Food Code of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the sanitation standard for all Michigan food establishments.
What types of violations are there?
There are two main categories of violations – critical violations and non-critical violations.
Critical violations are more likely than non-critical violations to lead to contamination of food and to result in causing a food borne illness if not corrected. Each violation listed in an inspection report clearly states whether or not the violation is critical.
Critical violations on the inspection report are listed as "Violation (Critical)", followed by the name of the violation, while non-critical violations are listed by name of the violation only. Additionally, there is a link for each violation that describes the violation in detail. The specific requirements may be found in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Code.
Examples of critical violations include:
- Absence of a knowledgeable person-in-charge during hours of operation
- Failure to restrict ill employees from handling food
- Failure of food employees to wash their hands when required
- Food employees touching ready-to-eat foods with their bare hands
- Failure to cook raw meats, poultry, fish or eggs to safe temperatures
- Failure to cool foods properly
- Failure to reheat foods properly
- Failure to hold cold foods at 41ºF or below
- Failure to hold hot foods at 140ºF or above
- Cross contamination between raw (uncooked) and ready-to-eat foods
- Failure to clean and sanitize equipment and utensils that come into direct contact with food
- Presence of pests in the establishment
- Failure to use, store, or label cleaners, poison and other toxic chemicals properly
- Failure to protect the water supply
Examples of non-critical violations include:
- Failure to keep the floors, walls, and ceilings of the establishment clean
- Failure of food employees to wear hair restraints
- Failure to maintain the facility or equipment in good repair
How do I judge the sanitation safety level of a food service establishment?
The best way to judge the results of an inspection is to read the entire inspection report. A perfect routine inspection report would have:
- No critical violations
- No repeat violations
- No violations overall
A typical routine inspection report may have:
- A small number of critical violations that are corrected during the inspection
- No repeat critical violations
- A small number of repeat non-critical violations
- Few to several violations overall
A poor routine inspection report generally has:
- Several critical violations that are not corrected during the inspection
- Repeat critical violations
- Repeat non-critical violations
- Several violations overall
Inspections are only a snapshot of what is happening in the food service establishment at that particular time. The presence of violations in an inspection report does not necessarily mean an establishment will have the same violations any other time. Furthermore, large establishments with extensive menus typically will have more violations than small establishments with simple menus. This does not identify large establishments as being less safe. When comparing inspection reports from different establishments, consider their size and menus.
What happens if a food service establishment has violations?
A food service operator must correct all violations of the Food Code during the inspection or by the time allowed in the inspection report. Failure to do so results in progressive enforcement action.
If an imminent health hazard is found, the establishment is ordered closed. The operation may reopen only after a reinspection proves elimination of the hazard. Imminent health hazards include:
- Lack of water or electrical power
- Food borne illness outbreak
- Severe pest infestation
- Back-up of sewage in the kitchen
- No hot water
- Fire
- Flood
- Any other situation in which the public may be in immediate danger
Ottawa County Environmental Services – Food Safety and Sanitation Division pursues progressive enforcement action when violations are not imminent health hazards, but are repeat and/or reoccurring. According to the Michigan Administrative Procedures Act, a food service license holder must be given three (3) opportunities to correct violations before his or her license is limited, suspended or revoked:
- The establishment corrects violations during the routine and reinspection. When the establishment fails to do this, the license holder is asked to attend a Compliance Conference.
- The establishment is to correct violations immediately following the Compliance Conference. When the establishment fails to comply, the license holder is asked to attend an Informal Hearing.
- The establishment is given another opportunity to immediately correct violations following the Informal Hearing. When the establishment fails to comply, the food service license may be limited, suspended, or revoked; or a Formal Hearing is convened to determine the next course of action. The license holder may request a Formal Hearing before the Ottawa County Department of Public Health Appeals Board to appeal a license limitation, suspension or revocation.
How do I read an inspection report?
The following abbreviations are sometimes used by the Environmental Health Specialists when writing their inspection reports:
EHS – Environmental Health Specialist – A person whom has completed the necessary training to inspect food service establishments.
FIFO – First In, First Out – This phrase refers to proper product rotation. First food stored should be the first used.
MDA – Michigan Department of Agriculture
PHF – Potentially Hazardous Food – This abbreviation refers to foods that must be kept hot or cold to prevent bacterial growth. Examples of potentially hazardous foods are: meats, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, cooked pasta, cooked rice, cooked vegetables, soups, seed sprouts, cut melon.
PIC – Person In Charge – Each food service establishment is required to have a person in charge at the restaurant at all times it is in operation. The person in charge must be knowledgeable about the safe operation of their establishment.
REHS/RS – Registered Environmental Health Specialist/Registered Sanitarian – Credentials held by Environmental Health Specialists who have successfully passed the registration exam.
RTE – Ready-to-Eat – This phrase refers to foods that need no further cooking, cleaning or processing to be consumed. Examples include salads, cold sandwiches, and sushi.
SEHS – Senior Environmental Health Specialist – An Environmental Health Specialist who has received REHS or RS.
WIC – Walk In Cooler – This is the large refrigerator many restaurants use to keep bulk foods cold.

I am using Kubuntu 12.04, since Ubuntu 11.04 I am facing this problem.
Most of time my pointer's position changes to any random position itself and it start typing somewhere else and sometime content of last copied lined get pasted itself at current position. This spoils my text, I have to undo every time.
I am very sure that I don't touch my Touchpad.
What can be wrong? Please suggest.

Same as for a custom v4.master, I want to create a custom minimal.master. The common advice: make a copy of minimal.master and then modify it. But how can I reference to the custom minimal.master? ( Such as for the v4.master, this can be changed by the Site Settings. )
Depending on how much you need to customize minimal.master you have two options:
BUT if you're developing for Office365 or another environment where you can only deploy sandboxed solutions then neither of the above will work. Then you have to resort to the following hack:
The javascript file will be loaded on every page so you have to make some check to see if you're on a page using minimal.master (I check for an element with the id 's4-mini-testarea') and then you have to make all your changes using javascript.
Are you asking how to load the custom master page? It should be referenced just like a custom v4.master. All you need to do is upload and publish the custom.master file and then it should be in the dropdown.
SharePoint Designer could be used as well.. just right-click and activate as custom master or default master..

Since Fall River's beloved circa 1920 carousel suddenly stopped spinning in August, the Fall River Office of Economic Development and Battleship Cove have been working to figure out how to fund the repairs.
FROED has owned the carousel since a group of local businessmen saved the ride from being auctioned off in New York after the storied Lincoln Park in Dartmouth closed. It found a home at Battleship Cove in 1992 through a rather peculiar set of informal arrangements.
The carousel and the pavilion that houses it had fallen into disrepair. Now FROED has announced the steps being taken to repair the roof and water-damaged ceiling on the pavilion. The aim is to have the waterfront ride opened in time for spring.
The cost to repair the carousel, to be funded by FROED, is between $65,000 and $70,000. Meanwhile, Hetzler Contracting has been replacing shingles and laying rubber roofing on the pavilion. Work on the water-damaged ceiling will be done by FROED staff.
Battleship Cove, which has managed the carousel at no cost to FROED since 2001, hopes to continue that arrangement. FROED, meanwhile, is hoping to keep all options open to partner with a third party, that can, as FROED Executive Vice President Ken Fiola said, "maximize the carousel," including potentially offering more concessions at the site and hosting private parties.
Other fundraising options and governance involving the community that cherishes the old carousel also ought to be explored. Community buy-in and crowdfunding could go a long way in keeping the attraction on the right track.
FROED and Battleship Cove officials met last week but before any type of formal arrangement can happen, FROED must ink an official lease for the land with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Once all the formalities and paperwork are complete, let's hope that the carousel can continue to operate for years to come. Fall River's carousel is a unique attraction and a piece of local history that offers another reason for families to enjoy Battleship Cove and explore the city's waterfront.

Donald and Mildred Othmer were at the center of the international chemical community for over 40 years. An innovative engineer who held more than 150 patents, Don was Polytechnic University's first distinguished professor, and coeditor of the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. Mid was a high-school teacher, and later a New York fashion buyer, before becoming her husband's inseparable companion. Together the two were convivial globetrotters, keen financial investors, and generous philanthropists. This compilation of essays, articles, and remembrances pays tribute to the Othmers, who left an indelible impression on those who knew them, and a magnificent charitable legacy.

What was the percent of the Soviet territory that was under Nazi control at maximum extent?
A widely cited figure is "500,000 sq mi of Russian territory" occupied by Nazi Germany, but it does not seem plausible because of the imprecise choice of wording.
Wikipedia says (without providing a reference), that in course of Operation Barbarossa Germany captured 1.3 mln km2 until the end of 1941 plus a maximum of 0.65 mln km2 later. That would be a total of 1.95 mln km2.
Properly, this should be divided by Soviet land area as of 22 June 1941, but I've been unable to find this figure. I substitute the 1991 figure, which is only a little bit lower.
1.95 / ( 22.27 or more ) * 100% = 8.8% (or less)
That's not a terribly easy question as the numbers and definitions are in dispute. For example, do you mean occupied, military presence, or actually subjugated, and if subjugated how much resistance? Then do you include Soviet occupied Poland? If Poland, then what about Finland? Since the Russians practiced slash and burn, do you include territory which was more-or-less unable to be occupied?
The amount of land under control can be seen here and here. Both maps are from the same period and both show some very different maps. It appears that the most that the Germans were able to hold indisputably was somewhere around a third of the territory of the Soviet Union west of the Urals. The broader chart suggest closer to half of the territory west of the Urals.
Of course, both of those estimates exclude Siberia.

Are there any differences between "update" and "upgrade"?
Sign up

If you're talking about software, there is, imo, even though the two do overlap. (A lot depends on the context: I'm assuming a general one below.)
Usually, when you update a software, you apply patches and additional bits and pieces that the seller provides you for free, in theory to keep your copy in line with the official version (which is likely more stable, more secure and may even provide you with some new / better options, functionalities.)
On the other hand, when you upgrade a software, you usually buy / pay extra for a version unavailable for free. Of course, an upgrade serves as an update as well (in most cases.)
An example: say you have an antivirus program that you did not pay for (it being made legally available for free), but which has a commercial version as well: You usually update its database (to keep you safe from newer threats) - but if you upgrade it, it means you pay for an advanced version that gives you extended protection: not just via an updated database but also through extended capabilities (like email-scanning, link-scanning etc that were unavailable in the free version, no matter how up to date your database was.)
(Again, a real lot depends on the context.)
To update means to bring someone or something up to date, whereas to upgrade means to raise or improve something to a higher standard. The difference between these two is particularly apparent in the world of computers: an update is not always and improvement!
To update means to make something more modern or up to date; it also means to give to somebody the latest (or up to date) information.
Looking in the Corpus of Contemporary American for phrases containing update or upgrade, I get the following data:
Instances computer update 1 computer upgrade(s) 12 hardware update 2 hardware upgrade(s) 11 software update(s) 30 software upgrade(s) 31
The sentences containing hardware update are both referring to a software tool.
Update is a shortening of "bring up to date" and upgrade means to put at a higher grade (as in to make better). You can upgrade your your CPU from 2.4 GHz to 3.2 GHz, but your software update can have bugs that break your computer.
From most answers:
Well, the most "up-to-date" is not synonym of "modern".
One can have the most up-to-date SQL Server 2005 with all latest updates and hotfixes but it is behind, in being modern, after SQL Server 2008 (even not updated).
For example Service Pack 4 for SQL Server 4 was released on December 17, 2010, i.e. three years after release of more modern SQL Server 2008.
All the above contributions are laudable and basically linked. Hope this scenario simplifies and clarifies the basics.
Updating as explained earlier implies keeping something up to date thus if the functionality of a particular program is to rectify errors from level 1 to say level 3, updating the program implies maintaining or igniting its efficiency to work effectively within the specified levels (level 1to 3).
But to upgrade the program implies increasing its capacity and efficiency to enable it exceed or work beyond the previous lower levels i.e. levels 4, 5 and upwards.

My name is Matthew Zachary and I am 28 years old. When I was 21, I was diagnosed with an extremely rare pediatric brain tumor (medulloblastoma). I have since beaten the odds, surviving surgery, aggressive radiation and a seven year recovery.
I started playing piano when I was 11 and professionally by age 16. Music had become the very fabric of my soul. I attended college at Binghamton University in the fall of 1992 as a Mechanical Engineering major. Needless to say, after three weeks of a 7:00am organic chemistry class, I promptly switched to Music.
It all started in the summer of 1995. I had just turned 21, completed my junior year of college and took a temp job as a computer tech for Dean Witter on the 68th floor of Tower One of the World Trade Center in New York City.
At first I thought the onset of strange headaches was brought about by the large periods of time I spent while working at such magnificent altitude. I had experienced headaches before, migraines to be specific, but these felt different. I wasn't sure how - they just were.
The summer ended and I returned to school.
In addition to these horribly strange headaches, the primary symptom I began to experience was the loss of motor coordination in my left hand, my dominant hand. This affected my ability to play piano, to write and to type. As a college Senior majoring in music, this was not a good thing.
Symptoms degenerated to the point where I began to collapse at random, slur my speech and experience headaches worthy of the Nobel Prize for pain. Doctors on campus gave me Robitussin (for my brain tumor). It didn't help. I wonder why.
I returned home after Fall semester only to meet with a Neurologist who promptly referred me for an MRI. They found a large mass - the size of a golf ball - growing in my cerebellum. My question wasn't necessarily "Am I going to live?", rather it was "Am I going to play the piano again?".
My caregivers did not know if these degenerative symptoms would disappear after surgery. I was told that I would be lucky to walk, let alone play, after the procedure - if it was successful at all. (Which it was, obviously.)
Indeed, I did have to re-learn how to walk, eat, drink, swallow and speak after my surgery. Those all came back within 6 months to 1 year. However, the day I returned home from surgery, I sat down at my piano to see if I could play. The defining moment of my life had come upon me...
I could play. But (there's always a "but") it wasn't all glamour and glitz.
Since my left hand hadn't "worked" properly for 6 months prior to diagnosis, 10 years of piano training had essentially been wiped out. Motivated yet disenfranchised, I began the slow and arduous process of retraining my left hand. This took five years.
Due to the nature of my tumor, the leading oncologic physicians in the NYC-Metro area could not agree on a conclusive prognosis nor recommended post-operative treatment protocol. This did not make things any easier.
After much soul searching, personal and professional researching and several consultations, second, third and fourth opinions, the decision on my treatment ultimately came down to me.
I decided on 33 treatments of high-dose (5940cg) craniospinal (head, neck and spine) radiation treatments and NO chemotherapy. While my CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) and bone marrow were clean and did not indicate even the slightest hint of metastasis, the choice to do craniospinal was more palliative than anything else.
I experienced several very severe side effects from treatment. If you can name it, I probably had it. My quality of life fell into the toilet, literally and figuratively.
My newfound ability to play piano again was instantly compromised. All I wanted to do was play but all my body wanted to do was sleep. It was agonizing torture - a quality of life I would not wish on my worst enemy.
I was sleeping more than 20 hours per day. During the remaining 4 hours I was either en route to the hospital, getting treatment, getting medical exams, going home from the hospital, regurgitating uncontrollably or trying to down some broth. I had lost the ability to eat solid food. Recovering from this plagued me for over 3 years. Even today, I suffer long term side effects involving a swallow disorder and saliva deficiency.
Due to this extreme fatigue from post-operative treatment (what I like to refer to as "the really fun times"), I was disempowered and needed to look deep within myself for a way to manage these life-altering circumstances. I made the decision not to let cancer destroy my art. I forced myself to sit down at that piano and play every single day - even for just 10 minutes. Couple that with the fact that I was also retraining my left hand from scratch, and you have a bird with wings too small to fly.
Since neither my mind nor my body were in the right place to create, compose, and express, my only recourse was to "scribble" down my ideas (motives, themes, melodies) on staff paper for the next time, not actually knowing if there would be a next time.
My identity - who I was - had been stripped away from me. The only way I could identify with myself was by my ability to create and by how much "scribbling" I did that day. Music was my inspiration, my stability, my hope, and the only gauge for my quality of life during those intensely debilitating days of torture. Those "scribblings" were my solace, my inner peace, and my miracle.
This was surprisingly empowering. I was able to channel whatever energies I had at the time toward my creativity. Indeed I did play piano every day during treatment, all the while composing many of the songs which wound up on the "Scribblings" album.
Being able to compose music gave me an identity and a purpose -- which continues to this day. It gave me the strength to keep going and helped save my quality of life. I have since discovered the power of music for others as well.
I was diagnosed in between the Fall 1995 and Winter 1996 semesters of my Senior year at college. My surgery and treatments prevented me from returning to school to complete my final semester - at least that's what everyone thought. Against all advice, I actually did go back to college in April while receiving treatment and graduated on time with honors with a degree combining music, musical theater, sociology and computer science.
Treatments ended. College was over. I now had the unanticipated task of living out the rest of my life. It took me 2-3 years to fully recover physically, emotionally, and psychosocially. I began a career as a computer tech at an ad agency in Manhattan. I then started up a computer consulting agency and began to build an extensive client base. I was still playing piano but the "day job" was getting in the way. I needed something...
My intention in producing "Scribblings" in 1999 was twofold - I wanted to legitimize my identity as a musician with a commercial record album, and I wanted to be able to offer it as tangible hope to the cancer survivors and hospital workers with whom I had build friendships. The rest is history.
By late 2000, my left hand had returned to a skill level that I was comfortable with. I was then ready to take my music to the next level and produce "Every Step of the Way", which features a very different texture of writing. With my left hand back, my intention was to showcase it through these new compositions, many of which were directly influenced from the unused "scribblings" from 1996.
In June of 2001, I quit my career to pursue my dream - and have not looked back yet. I have decided to dedicate my life to the pursuit of patient empowerment, cancer advocacy, physician/patient relationships and music as a spiritually motivating conduit for health and well being. I founded Matthew Zachary Music to be a vehicle by which I could fulfill that vision.
I wish to help educate and inspire people who face adversity in their lives. The music I compose stems from my experiences both surviving and recovering from my illness. It is my hope that it can touch the lives of those who may be seeking comfort and hope as they face their life's challenges. I believe in the innate healing power of music for it truly helped me heal mentally, spiritually and emotionally.
Everything that has happened to me, whether I liked it or not, became a part of my life; and I chose to live my life and to be the absolute best I could be every step of the way.
My music is dedicated to the thousands of people less fortunate than myself who continue to fight for survival while keeping hope alive in both mind, body & spirit, never abandoning their faith. One must maintain a strong spirit, no matter how difficult. With some visceral determination and little bit of hope, you will find that you can surprise yourself when you least expect it. Miracles do happen. My being here is one of them.

What shoes have you found to be most effective for exercises like squats and deadlifts etc.?
Sign up

When doing any weight training that involves the legs/feet, you want a shoe that provides:
Specific cases:
To some degree I think the shoe needs will vary based on individual anatomy and flexibility. For me (43yr old male with 2yrs of heavy lifting, 6 months olympic weightlifting) a taller and stiffer heel was needed to deal with my ankle flexibility issues. Without the higher heel I tended to end up with my weight to far forward onto my toes rather than heels while lifting.
I've been through 3 different pairs in the past year and so far have liked the Risto Olimpico the best. They seem to have the biggest heel to toe drop of the ones I've tried and are definitely one of the most comfortable. I'be also tried the Pendlays (had a good heel but were very uncomfortable for me) and the Adidas Powerlift Trainers (very comfortable but not a big enough heel for me). Others at my gym swear by the Nike Romaleos and the Adidas Adipower shoes but I have never tried those.
I feel like it really depends on the lift. Pretty much unanimously, a lifter performing oly lifts or front squats will benefit from an oly lifting shoe. Equally, a flat bottom shoe, such as chuck taylors or ballet slippers will help out during the deadlift. However, I feel like the back squat has a wider variance in what lifters prefer to lift in.
A cheap good shoe to start in - Adidas Spezial. It is close to the ground, is very sturdy and does not cost a whole lot, like specialized shoes do.

The refinery, with a capacity of 660,000 bpd and a price tag of between $25 billion and $30 billion, would be built in the central coastal province of Binh Dinh. PTT has chosen McKinsey, Foster Wheeler and IHS as advisors for the project, it said, adding that the refinery would be operational from 2020.
By VU TRONG KHANH
HANOI -- Thailand's largest oil and gas conglomerate PTT has
started working on the feasibility study for a project to build a mega oil refinery
in Vietnam that, once completed, would turn the Southeast Asian
country into a net oil product exporter from an importer.
Sukrit Surabotsopon, PTT's senior executive vice president
for petrochemical and refining, told Vietnamese media
Thursday that the study will be completed by May next year,
according to a report from online news provider
The refinery, with a capacity of 660,000
bpd and a price tag of between $25 billion and $30 billion,
would be built in the central coastal province of Binh Dinh,
the report said.
PTT has chosen McKinsey, Foster Wheeler and IHS as advisors
for the project, it said, adding that the
refinery would be operational from 2020.
It said the refinery would produce 33 million tpy of
oil and petrochemical products, 50% of which
would be sold in Vietnam with the rest for exports.
Vietnam's sole refinery, the 130,000-bpd Dung Quat
refinery, started production in 2009. It meets only around one
third of the country's demand for oil products.
Local media reported last month that Vietnam Oil and Gas
Group, or Petrovietnam, and its partners from Japan and Kuwait
will start construction of Vietnam's second oil
refinery in September or October this year.
The $9 billion Nghi Son complex, to be located 180
kilometers south of Hanoi, will have a refining capacity of 200,000 bpd. It
will process Kuwaiti crude oil supplied exclusively by Kuwait
Petroleum International.
Vietnam imported 3.85 million tons of oil products in the
first half of this year, down 22% from a year earlier,
according to government data. Imports fell because the Dung
Quat refinery was shut for two months in
the middle of last year.

What are Genomics, Proteomics, and Microarray and how do they pertain to cancer?
Please use for reference only.
Julia Draznin Maltzman, MD
Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: November 2, 2003
What is Genomics?
The recent completion of the human genome sequence has greatly increased interest in genetics. However, knowing the human genome sequence is only the beginning; the next step is to understand the function of each gene and how its? malfunction may cause disease. From what we know thus far, the human genome has approximately 35,000 genes. Only about half of these have recognizable DNA sequences that would suggest a possible function. Diseases that occur due to genetic mutations have been recognized in ~1000 genes. Furthermore, the old teaching of one gene makes one protein has been rejected with the discovery of alternative splicing and post-translational modification. Alternative splicing results when a single gene can produce multiple related proteins; and post-translational modification is the addition of small molecules to an already existing protein rendering it a novel function. It is thought that more than 100,000 proteins can be produced from 35,000 genes. Genetics is the study of a single gene and how it maybe passed on from one generation to the next. Genomics, by contrast, is the study of all the genes in an organism as well as their interactions with each other. Understanding genomics may hold the key to a better understanding of diseases such as cancer.
Furthermore, genomics may enable oncologists to tailor therapy to each individual patient according to their genes. The hope is, that one day, science would be advanced enough that a patients? genome may be ascertained by a simple, non-invasive test and compared with a ?normal? or ?healthy? genome within a matter of minutes. By knowing which genes are responsible for a specific disease, doctors could target the therapy to that particular gene. In the ideal world, this technology could have the potential to also be used for screening purposes in identifying individuals at risk of developing a disease (cancer or otherwise) based on their genetic make up.
What is Proteomic?
Proteomics, by contrast, is the study of all the proteins produced by a cell. Proteomics requires identification of these proteins and analyzing their role in the physiologic as well as the pathologic state. This is actually much more complicated than seems at first glance. While the DNA itself remains the same, proteins in any given cell change as genes are turned off and on in response to environmental influences and stimuli. Thus, at any given point, the proteins expressed in the cell may change. Given the dynamic nature of protein expression, their study has so far been a challenge.
Biologic behavior of a cell is determined by the pattern of gene expression within that cell. Each human cell has billions of DNA subunits, which encode for tens of thousands of genes. In any given cell only a small fraction of these genes are active. Cancer can be thought of as a disease that results after multiple genetic abnormalities. These abnormalities in the genome result in changes of gene expression ? in proteins, which functionally represent the genome. Changes in proteins result in aberrant cell behavior such as uncontrolled cell growth, loss of gene repair mechanisms, loss of contact inhibition and overall genetic instability.
Working with proteins is much more difficult than working with nucleic acids (RNA or DNA) for multiple reasons. Unlike nucleic acids, proteins cannot be amplified and thus proteins that are more rare may not be easily found. Furthermore, proteins are often denatured during experiments as small changes in working conditions may change their folded shape (tertiary and quaternary structure). Despite all the difficulties, the importance of proteins must be underlined. Proteins are responsible for cellular movement, adhesion, communication, metabolism, and reproduction of each living cell.
Due to the ubiquitous nature of proteins, the discipline of proteomics has a myriad of potential applications. One possibility is to identify new disease markers that can help in prevention, diagnosis, and even treatment of cancer. If scientists can identify which proteins are expressed in certain disease states, then novel drug therapy can be developed to target only the proteins responsible for a particular disease, sparing the healthy ones. This idea is already being employed by imatinib mesylate (Gleevec, Novartis) in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). In this disease, a novel protein is overexpressed. Imatinib?s mechanism of action is to inhibit this novel protein and thereby impede the disease process. Just as imatinib has revolutionized CML therapy, scientists hope to find such treatment for all cancers.
What is microarray?
Microarrays are the technology used to examine DNA, RNA, proteins, or even whole tissue samples to identify differences between cancer cells and healthy cells. Genomic array is a technique that examines a cancer cell?s genome and compares it to a healthy genome. Unlike most normal cells that have 46 chromosomes (two copies of each gene ? one paternal and one maternal), cancer cells often have abnormal chromosomes, either having a single copy of every gene or having three or more copies of a particular gene.
Expression arrays look at the RNA from cancer cells. As mentioned earlier, not all genes are expressed. In other words, not all DNA is transcribed into RNA. Expression arrays look at the RNA produced by the cancer cell. By examining the RNA as opposed to the DNA, researchers can differentiate which genes are actively being expressed within the cell.
Methylation arrays were developed because it was noted that not all RNA is translated into proteins. Either the RNA message is unstable or it is mutated, or the gene itself is hyper-methylated and therefore turned off. The word methylation refers to the addition of a methyl group onto a gene and thereby rendering it inactive. Genes are turned off and are not transcribed by hyper-methylation. This technique allows researchers to see which genes are expressed by examining the cancer cell?s genome and looking for hyper-methylation.
Protein arrays, run by gel mass spectrometry are able to look directly at the proteins produced by the cell of interest. Tissue arrays permit investigators to look at entire tissue blocks as opposed to sub-cellular segments such as nucleic acids or proteins.
How do microarrays work?
Each type of array is slightly different but the basic principles are similar in that they look for differences between normal and cancerous cells. The simplest genomic arrays are done by fixing known genetic material on to a microarray chip also called gene chip or biochip. These are either commercially purchased or made by the individual investigator to suit his or her special interests. Thousands of genes can be examined at once. It is important that the investigator keep track of the genetic organization on this chip. An array is an orderly arrangement of genomic samples on to a small flat area. Biochips can be as small as a postage stamp. Microarrays provide a venue for matching the known DNA (healthy cells) to the unknown DNA (cancer cells) based on the principles of DNA base pair annealing/matching. DNA is therefore extracted from a cancer cell and labeled with a fluorescent tag ? green for example. DNA from a normal cell is also collected and tagged with a different fluorescent color &endash; red. DNA from both cell types are allowed to mix and competitively bind to their complementary strand found on the gene chip. If a certain gene were overexpressed in the cancer cell, then the green labeled DNA would outnumber the red. There would therefore, be a greater likelihood that the green DNA will bind to the gene chip, and not the red tagged DNA. This overexpressed gene would out compete the genes of the non-cancerous cell and bind to its complement on the chip and that area on the chip would look more green. If the genes are not overexpressed by the cancer cell then there should be an even mix of red and green on the gene chip. Computerized fluorescent scanners are then used to read the fluorescent colors on the chip. A predominance of green, in this example, assumes cancer cell overexpression relative to the normal cell. A predominance of red assumes the opposite. By knowing the location of each gene on the biochip, the investigator knows exactly which gene is overexpressed in the cancer cell.
What are the implications of this technology?
The past decade has been a period of unparalleled discovery in the field of genomics and proteomics. Researches in virtually every malignancy are rushing to try to define some genetic component to risk of disease development, disease prognosis, therapy, and, of course, disease outcome.

There is so many ways you can cook a steak and there are all types of different steak cuts. I myself love T-bone style steak which is why I chose to do this type of meat. Other great cuts are rib eye, porterhouse, and sirloin. This is a very easy lesson to follow and if you like drawing food; you will love learning "how to draw a steak", step by step. As always you will enjoy the chibi design, and if you want to draw your steak with some awesome grill marks, go right ahead. Thanks guys and have fun with your drawing day!

I would prefer help tonight, if possible, as huge test tomorrow!!!
How do I rewrite this in terms of n?
$$ \frac{4A}{s^2n} = \cot \frac{\pi }{n} $$
Thank you!!!!
EDIT***: n is always a whole number greater than or equal to 3, as it represents the number of sides of a shape. Also, A and s must both be positive as they represent area and side length.
EDIT 2: Now, I am just looking for the inverse of function $y = x\cot \frac{\pi }{x}$ after using substitution. I would also accept something for $y = x\tan \frac{\pi }{x}$ if that makes any difference

What steps pre-mash can be taken to limit the likelihood of a stuck sparge?
Get the right crush
This is the single most important thing to prevent a stuck sparge. Read the HomebrewTalk's wiki page on evaluating the crush. An ideal milling breaks the internal bits of grain into a coarse powder while leaving the bulk of the husks intact. It is the husks that do the most to set up a good filter.
Use a good manifold design
A large area covered by the manifold or pick-up, spaced evenly across the bed. A few, or a single, pick-up may lead to channeling, which compacts the grain bed. John Palmer covers this topic in his book How to Brew. His findings are the result of experiments he designed with fish tanks and dyed water.
Other things
One thing I have noticed with some of the recipe kits is that they don't always separate the adjuncts from the grain. Running flaked maize, wheat or oats through a mill is a guaranteed stuck sparge. Make sure that the more non-grain ingredients in the recipe the more attention you pay to volume, mash thickness, sparge temperature and flow rates. I think its mentally less frustrating to deal with if you know from the recipe that the probability of getting stuck is higher. Rice hulls are a must, get a big bag and keep them around.

At a Mullinville City Council meeting on Monday, May 7, following a 65-minute executive session with City Attorney Jan Jorns and Brad Zimmermann of Zimmermann Title and Abstract, Mayor Andy Kimble and the four attending city council members Kristie Odle, Tom Daniels, Dee McDonald and Jary Bohme expressed their belief that a contested section of Pine Street had never been officially vacated by the city, there by legally making the street city property.
"Following extensive research at the courthouse it was determined that the original ordinance that vacated that portion of Pine Street was never filed with the county," said Kimble. "They found a map that showed it had been vacated, but no official document stating that it had been vacated."
The small section of Pine Street south of Wall Street is believed to have been vacated in a sweeping 1898 journal entry, which vacated large sections of Mullinville (see The Signal "Street plan still a question mark" March 21, 2012).
Kimble said that the journal entry did not include the contested portion of Pine Street.
It was unclear how many of the adjacent land owners would have agreed to process a quitclaim deed, which was requested by the city during an April 2 city council meeting.
"We never got to the point [of receiving any quitclaim deeds] on Pine Street," said Kimble who remarked that the issue of a Pine Street vacation, or lack there of, is — as far as the city is concerned — finished.
"That is what we are trying to do with the [Elm Street] situation as well. We're trying to get it put to bed once and for all," added Kimble.
City officials have been engaged in a complicated legal process for months in an attempt to make legal what it feels are city streets.
This was the second misfiled city ordinance. The first was identified as city ordinance No.119, passed on Nov. 17, 1949, which purports to reopen a contested section of Elm Street.
That ordinance was never filed with the Register of Deeds Office either, as required by law. The misfiling of that ordinance was one of the arguments made by Elm Street landowner and local artist M.T. Liggett in March who claims the street is still his.
Kimble didn't comment of specifics, but said the city is currently preparing quitclaim deeds to mail to the landowners along Elm Street.
When asked if he had spoken to any of the Elm Street landowners Kimble said he hadn't recently and declined to speculate on possible quitclaim signers.

The manager of the promotion-chasing Eagles says any January deal must allow the talented winger to stay at Selhurst Park for 2012-13 to help his side reach the Premier LeagueCrystal Palace boss Ian Holloway insists any January deal for Wilfried Zaha must include a clause to allow the winger to remain at Selhurst Park for the duration of the current season as the Eagles target promotion to the Premier League.
The 18-year-old's displays in the Championship earned him a call-up to the England squad for the friendly against Sweden in November, and Goal.com revealed in the same month that Manchester United are interested in his signature.
Arsenal, among other top flight clubs, are also reported to be interested in Zaha but Holloway will push for the player to stay in order to help Palace secure the financial windfall of promotion.
"If we do reach an agreement with a club, it would have to include a clause that Zaha stays put for the rest of the season," he wrote in the Sunday Mirror.
"Wilfried Zaha is wanted by some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League. And THAT, in the football silly season that everyone else calls January, is the problem.
"The need for confidentiality makes it impossible to reveal who is interested in Wilfried and who has made a bid. But the constant buzz of speculation is difficult to cope with."
Despite the attentions of the big boys of the top flight, Holloway has commended Zaha for keeping his head and continuing to perform despite the added pressure.
"It is a great tribute to Wilf himself that he has been able to hang on to his sanity," he added. "He had a little dip in form when the transfer talk started to get louder last month, but he has since shown that class is permanent."
Holloway revealed that he has laid out to Zaha the possible scenarios the January window could bring so as not to reach a stand-off between club and player.
"I felt it necessary to have a chat with Wilfried this week about what might happen and what definitely won't be happening," he said.

I have struggled with organization and administration my whole life. Starting in 5th grade my grades plummeted. Nothing changed. I scraped by in school and even after all of that had to get my GED. I took many, many tests for learning disabilities and they came back negative. As a matter of fact I would test well and my IQ tests were high as well.
Once I started life as an adult, I chased my dreams. Everything started off well. Over time the job would overwhelm me. Like a tsunami I would be drowning in my tasks and fears. Knowing things didn't get done and that there were things to do as well as the ones that were coming. I had to quit because I couldn't handle the stress and I know I wasn't being effective.
It is easy to say ADHD (and maybe that is the truth) but it does not address the problem with a solution. How do I get organised?

We have an intranet environment with several extJS apps.
The current goal is to standardise look and feel through global css theme and predefined header with nav links to each of the app and a footer.
What would be the best approach using SA2?

I'd recommend a viewport with a vbox layout, a fixed height header/footer and then in the center have a container with a layout of card. You can then individually swap in/out your particular subapps in the center card layout container.Aaron Conran

I'm using a NN3 Mk2 with my Canon 7d and have noticed that when calibrating the NNP by aiming down at the bulls-eye on the rotator, my viewfinder center is off to the right a few mm. This is not due to lower arm settings, since that only determines horizontal offset when pointed 90deg down like this. Is this normal? I would have assumed a camera like the 7d would have a dead-center thread. Is it possible that the NN is somewhat off? I've checked my upper arm rotation and it is definitely pointed straight down and level.
From what I can tell, I may need to get the T-adapter to get things exact...but was under the impression that I wouldn't need this when I bought the NN3 starter kit. I've tried 3 different lenses with same results.

thumbnail image gallery?
I am new bee to sencha touch. I have started with few samples and now kindda familiar with store model and few other UI controls. As i am not a web developer I feel difficult most of the times to understand the small small things.
Now, I want to design a image gallery for iPhone using sencha Touch and java script. Please give me some sample of the layouts that i have to use. The images used will be fetched from my content server.
Next on tap of image it should be displayed on next screen with larger view and with next and previous buttons.
