25 July 2016 Canadian Museums Association National Conference 2016
The second chapter of the author's experiences at the 2016 CMA conference wherein he listens to speeches, learns about other people's mistakes, eats more seafood and gets a lesson in Maritime weather.
14 July 2016 Canadian Museums Association National Conference 2016
The first day of the conference was for full and half-day workshops. I was up dull and early that rainy morning, swallowed a breakfast sandwich at Timmie's, consulted my program guide and headed to my first seminar.
27 June 2016 Repairing Steel DiesBefore they were to be placed in collection storage, these broken dies were evaluated for further conservation treatment. Ultimately, the decision was made to repair the breaks.
15 June 2016 New Acquisitions
In May 2013, staff of the Bank of Canada Museum visited BABN and were able to select for the National Currency Collection more than 650 steel dies (small, engraved metal or "intaglio" plates) and other production tools formerly used by the company to prepare the intaglio printing plates.
Closed for Renovation
The Bank of Canada Museum is currently closed to the public and will reopen in 2017.
Complete Commemorative Note Series
Since issuing its first series of bank notes in 1935, the Bank of Canada has issued three commemorative bank notes. Each commemorative note marks an important milestone for the reigning monarch or a defining moment in Canadian history.
Collection Highlights
25 June 2014 5 Cents: Canada, 1943The beaver briefly disappeared from our nickel during World War II. So did the nickel typically used in minting the coin, a consequence of wartime rationing of the metal.
The New Building Project
Much more than replacing the linoleum and painting the kitchen, the construction team has begun construction on a new space for new ideas and new audiences−for the Bank of Canada Museum.
Travelling Exhibitions
During renovations, you can't come to us, so we'll just have to come to you. Welcome to our travelling exhibitions program – our way of keeping our metaphorical doors open while the actual doors are closed.

I am new to Ubuntu LTS. I am using the SVN server that comes with 10.04 it is 1.6.6. The current version is 1.6.17. How quickly can I expect an update to the LTS applications?
Generally the LTS will not get new versions of applications, but rather security patches and bugfixes to current package version - the version number will likely never change, however there could be new features backported, but not likely. Your best bet would be the Subversion PPA but that only goes to 1.6.17.
If you are wanting something newer than than, you will likely have to install from source unfortunately.
Important security bugfix updates you can expect very quickly, but it will be on base of 1.6.6 (base vesrion for this release) with merged only security changes, so you will have package version like:
So, if you care about security, stick with normal package from normal repo. If you care about some new features, you need to:
All of above are messy - do you really want it?

Working on the postgresql charm a bit, and I'm wondering if there is a way to supply overrides for default values in a "juju-way".
In my charm that will be consuming the services provided by postgresql, I was thinking I could override things like the database name, or the name of the super_user created. If I stick something like this in the relation-joined:
relation-set user=my_superuser
I'm having an issue where the postgres/db-admin-relation-changed can actually run before the consumer joins runs (or finishes running at least).
Eventually, the postgresql/db-admin-relation-changed will run and get my data, but if it runs too quickly, I could wind up with 2 superusers.
TL;DR: Is there a way to guarantee that default configuration is overridden in a service on the provides side of the relationship?

ROBINSON (October 10, 2012)--The Robinson City Council approved a resolution Tuesday authorizing the city manager to approve an agreement for the reservation of raw water and sale and delivery of treated water from Waco.
The city hopes the move will better accommodate city growth.
"Development will begin immediately on the interstate once the water line is put in place. The water line construction is expected to be completed by May of 2013," spokesperson Kaci Allen said.
"This will give Robinson a lifeline for a guaranteed water source from the City of Waco for our future," City Manager Bob Cervenka said.
The contract will be heard at the Waco City Council meeting slated for Tuesday.

I have this problem, how i can solve?
closed as not a real question by e100, Farray Aug 1 '12 at 19:55
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The general workflow is to open your existing fonts, save your working files as .vfb and export new OpenType fonts. There are quite a few potential issues you need to check for before doing this though.
I would suggest you read the manual in detail.
(And to be cynical, I'm not convinced that someone who would spend US$649 on an application of this complexity wouldn't have worked through this issue).

I live in South Carolina (37 C or 100 F everyday in July), but I LOVE Rhubarb. I planted 4 rhubarb plants in the shade on the north side of my house. 3/4 have died and the last is struggling. They get lots of water. Is there anything else I can do to stimulate growth? Would potting them and bringing them indoors help?
I grow it very successfully here with summer temperatures to 42 Celsius. We also get sub-zero winters with frosts common. I have mine under bird netting, which believe it or not reduces direct sunlight. I planted mine into a sand mixed with horse manure. I water virtually daily in summer and a lot less in winter.
I cannot stop them raging. I am in Australia in outback desert type country. I have had stalks over one inch in diameter. The white bird netting I am sure, combined with sand and horse manure mix is the secret.
For North Texas (similarly hot, but less humid) it is recommended that rhubarb is grown as an annual.
I tried it once but it was a dismal failure - one (of two roots) sprouted but didn't get past about 6in. I chose a shady spot, but the root stock (from a big box garden place) was probably poor quality. I think there's a good reason much of the local population don't know what it is (I've had check-out people at the grocers not know what it is) - and that is, it doesn't grow well at all in the hotter climates.
I grow it in the UK where it thrives. I'd suggest putting it in a shady area under some trees or shrubs. Maybe you could grow it in late winter / spring and autumn as an annual? It needs cold dormancy (induce in late summer by putting the root in a bag and in a freezer). Then in late summer when it is cooling down - plant it and harvest in late autumn / early winter and maybe through till spring. When it starts getting hot again, cut it back, dig it up and store it in a fridge until late summer when it should go in the freezer for a week or two. I'm not sure if this will work, but Rhubarb is very cold hardy and could be forced to grow in a cooler part of thr year IMO. It won't thrive in heat though, so don't have it un the ground during the middle of summer. I'm not sure if it'll work, but it's worth a try. Rhubarb roots are dirt cheap and can be divided every few years.
Your problem is growing rhubarb in a warm climate, mine is growing grapes in a cool climate. Rhubarb is easy to grow here - put it in the ground and forget about it.
When I grew rhubarb in England, it thrived without any help. Of course, the climate in England is temperate.
It doesn't grow very well at all in climates approaching sub-tropical and warmer. Even if there is a noticeable cold season, rhubarb will find it difficult to thrive when summers are hot. The humidity level might be important too.
I've attempted to grow rhubarb in two different parts of Tennessee. In the mountains of Northeast TN, at about 2000 feet elevation, I found that rhubarb planted in the spring seemed to thrive for a while, but by August it had all but melted into the ground. I would think that the NW corner of South Carolina might experience something similar, the rest of the state being worse for rhubarb.
In West TN, a few miles from the Mississippi at about 300ft elevation, where winters are less cold and summers tropically hot and humid, it gave up the ghost much more rapidly.
Growing it as an annual might be possible, but an important point about rhubarb (to me) is that it's around for many years. I've given up growing it, with despair.
I suspect that the climate of the area around San Francisco, California, would be good for rhubarb.... also Maine, Michigan, northern Illinois...
My sun-room doesn't get enough sunlight for rhubarb. I went to a local nursery that sells rhubarb and the plants were thriving outside in 90F heat. The only difference: they had a very porous soil vs. the clay I had tried growing mine in. I am now successfully growing rhubarb outside in 80-90 degree F heat. The soil MUST be porous. (+ daily watering)
I'm recently retired here in southern Brasil from Manitoba, Canada. I too miss rhubarb crumble, and of course nobody ever has heard of rhubarb here. I brought some seeds from Canada, and started the plants outside in a planter in mid winter (July here). They grew amazingly well! I even managed to savour a rhubarb crumble, then the weather got really hot, and they fizzled out and disappeared. I don't think the plant likes warm soil. I'm going to try again and this time watering only with cold water, maybe that might help. I have pictures of the plants; they were awesome!

Military veteran Aaron Spurlock, fed up with the panhandlers in Weaverville, decided to take matters into his own hands.
Spurlock has been standing in front of Tops shopping center in Weaverville holding a sign that says, "Not broke, have a job, just saying hi."
Several people have been giving Spurlock a thumbs up.
He says that every time he goes shopping at the shopping center he sees panhandlers.
"They're out there smoking marijuana and for something like that, to me, it puts a downside on this community," Spurlock said.
He has finally had enough and has decided to send a message to the panhandlers in hopes that his sign will make a difference.
Spurlock said the sign is not meant to mock anyone. He said he understands that there are people out there who really need the help, but there are also those who do not and he said there is plenty of opportunity around.
Those in the area appear to agree with him, many of them voice their support of his sign and pictures of him holding it have been circulating on Facebook.
Spurlock said he plans to outside of the shopping center from 2 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. and hopes that it will make a difference.

Future dated join date, or are time machines real?
i was checking out a new member's join date for doctorate research or something, and i noticed the join date listed was for tomorrow July 27th 2011. i'm on the east coast and it's not midnight yet so for me the current date is July 26th.
i took a screenshot if you think i'm a constant liar or something
what does it mean? what would you think if you saw this, when you happened to look for your doctoral research or other reasons?
13 Answers answer
Time machines are real. I answered your question a week ago.
Something like this:
@ohcheri: d'oh yes! like what @drchops mentioned in his comment with the future join dates. i also think it must be a timezone thing, but shouldn't it show the local woot server timezones or at least Texas time, versus China timezones?
Stop stalking people for "research or something". This isn't facebook. ;)
I've noticed this too. It's been going on at least a week. I wonder if it might be based on where the member lives (other side of the international date line)?
Oh, and I don't think you're a "constant liar"... Maybe an intermittent one, but not a constant one. :)
edited: I see you sort of mentioned this in your response to ohcheri.
@gregorylikescheapstu: lol!!
@msklzannie: when you've noticed it, is it something reasonable like 1 day in the future? that could be blamed on timezones. or was it several days/weeks?
lots of doctoral research going on here, what a bunch of smart people ;)
I think the site uses UTC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time
@chris12345: Give this person a prize!
@w00tgurl: check out the time stamps on the comments and you will notice the tiny little z at the end. This is for Zulu time which is 5 - 6 hours ahead of woot time depending on the time of year (DST playing havoc once again).
Dammit, I've been found out! So much for tha- Wait wtf, just one hour forward??
I've been taken advantage of =/ That's the last time I'm getting a flux capacitor refurb...
@w00tgurl: Always just one day in advance, and I think I've only noticed it within a few hours of midnight (CT).
@w00tgurl: Aha! The secret is out...WOOT has sold out to the Chinese just like the US government :-)
Most dates / times on Woot are stored as UTC.
well thanks for the reality checks everyone! i'm glad to see it's just the old Zulu timezone showing its power over us :) or a defective flux capacitor, depending on how much you "want to believe". hehe
@joneholland: welcome stranger & staffer. you joined with inkykatz? post moar!

3* bordering on 4* but as im not there yet wouldnt be fair to over-judge myself.
3* bordering on 4* but as im not there yet wouldnt be fair to over-judge myself.
The SPFA have a list of all freebies register in Scotland - this can be duplicated with the search function
The SFA have a list of all registered Non Playing staff in Scotland - this can be duplicated by the search function.
Scouting players before you sign them is also unrealistic for most lower league clubs in Scotland - most of the time it is done by word of mouth or because the club is in close vicinity to their club. This is how most loans and youth players from the SPL end up at clubs that are next door to them - not because of Scouts (after a trial period of course) - for example Airdrie United, Albion Rovers and Queen's Park end up having Celtic, Rangers and Motherwell "failures" in their team - and trust me it wasn't because of scouts.
It was because their manager asked Old Firm/Motherwell manager who was available at that time or they knew they were to be released so offered them a trial (another example is Aberdeen with Peterhead and Montrose).
3 stars. I'm not bad but I'm not going to start out with a Danish second division team and take them to glory in my first game :P
play attractive, attacking football. beat stronger opponents than me. pull off backs to the wall jobs. make some sensational signings, manage my club balances and finances exceptionally. only downside to my style is that i can start a little slowly sometimes.
108 with a quite beautiful post there.
And I'd class my self as a 2*. Purely because I'm quite crap, it takes me a long time to get success. Infact, it took me 7 season to get Marine promoted on 09. But, I'm not as bad as some here.
Probaly 3* but like weeman went for 4
5* here, everything I touch turns to gold.
I am the special one
Four star. Don't think I've ever managed back to back promotions from a BS Regional to L2. If I'm at a sleeping giant I can manage consecutive promotions from L2 to the Premiership, but with smaller clubs it will take me a couple of seasons longer. Once I have a top side I tend to maintain it quite easily and dominate the domestic leagues, although, unlike some, I don't win the CL season on season, with maybe 3 wins in 5 years being my best perfomance. I won the EPL and CL with Wycombe in 09, but it took me a good number of years to do so.
Most of the time it is about word of mouth or a manager's knowledge and contacts.
A potential signing will train with the first team or reserves and probably play for the reserves or the youth side.
A manager will generally use his contacts at bigger clubs to sign up young players on work experience on loan. These players may eventually end up joining the club if they are released by the parent club.
Also, a lot of the time, the manager will know the qualities of a potential signing due to him playing the same league as the club he manages.
Lists of non-contracted and available players are also available in England and regularly published in the Non-League Paper each summer, for instance, as well as being available online.
Personally, I do use the search page on FM occasionally but I only search for players who are based in the countries or regions I am able to scout. My own personal rule is always to scout or trial players thoroughly before signing them. I always use attribute masking as well. In general, most of my FM signings come directly from my scouts, from real life knowledge, from having seen a player in the game itself or from clubs in the same division as me.
This is how good i am
....by the way, I'm managing Liverpool
Last edited by fmobande; 26-10-2009 at 10:47.
this is why lots of low club aka conference league teams ,has 95% of English players cause of they scouting is not good enough or money wise, ect you would see some team like braintree snap up a young star from brazil with the scouting lvl they have.
I went with 3*.Fine playing as Premiership or Championship team, struggle with lower leagues. Hope to change this with FM 10 and have a go at Dafuge's challenge.
5 stars - absolutely no question about it
I'd say 3, since I can take any team into the premiership within 5-7 seasons, but then struggle to get them into the top four. Simply can't attract the best players.
On fm 08 id rate my self 3
On fm 09 id rate my self 4/5
but overall i think i'm a 3
I was pretty happy with my 100+ run of unbeaten league games with Villa, but it then got really boring so I resorted to constantly losing in the CCC Playoffs once again.
3. I've never been relegated ever, but I've also never won the Premiership ever.
Being honest i would consider myself a one star compared to the other people who play the game. I can do it with big teams but i'd never be able to turn lower league teams into prem title contenders in few years
i did take Braintree to win the blue square 1st season, and made them 1st in blue premier for for 27 games in 2nd season when i was predicted to become last . but then i flopped on the 28 game so that makes me 3/4 stars
And I meant a 3* at least. Nice work there with Stoke, did a bigger club snaffle you away with the lure of a huge war chest? This is what usually happens when I have a good save going with a lesser club. I just can't say no to Liverpool, Valencia, Ajax and the like when they offer me £70M+ for transfers. Then after a few months I lose heart and quit
I voted 3 stars, on 08 I got Burnley to the Premiership (only up 1 division, not a massive achievement) but I did win some impressive trophies, 3 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, 1 x Uefa Cup, 1 x Champions League. I was in 2016 when I stopped playing. Obviously Money is a massive problem compared to other teams so I viewed this as a successful game. On 09, I was Bolton, won a fair bit, although not as much as with Burnley, and still no Premiership but I'm an established top 4 side now and with a small stadium, no bigger than 35k seats so revenue was a bit tight. However because of the lack of "major" trophies despite numerous sides challenging I though 3 star would be fair.
Although I never sign in all the usuals mentioned on the forums. I.e. Saivet, Fazio, Sakho etc
I've got to be 4*.
I seriously clear up with Spurs although they are a big team. On '09 I've won 17 consecutive PLs, 10 Cls, 14 FA Cups, etc, etc. I've also won the World Cup and Euro Champs with England.
I'd give myself 5* but Spurs are far from the biggest test of FM pedigree. I'll start in the lowest tier of English football on FM10 and that will give me a true answer.
Love the moderators all rating themselves 4*. Obviously they don't want to make us feel inadequate
I voted 4 stars. I generally get successful with every team I manage in 2-3 seasons at most, otherwise I generally tend to get bored. I haven't been at a team for more than 3 seasons without winning anything since I genuinely get bored. I got back to back promotions with Leeds, which I took up to 6th place in the EPL in 4 seasons. Played a UEFA Cup final with Romanian side CFR Cluj, won doubles or trebles with most of the major European sides I played.
would be 5 but I don't have the patience to sign freebies/loans for struggling League 2 sides, I need to manage rich conference or highly placed League 2 sides to be happy.
I've just checked all my old saved games from FM 2005 to FM 2010 (Demo), there's 18 in total and in each of the manager stats my lowest win percentage is 71% with the highest being 89%. On that basis i'd put myself down as a 5.
I wouldn't say FM is easy, just say i'm that damn good! lol
5*, I smash it; always start a new game by obliterating everyone with Liverpool, then look for new challenges. Always take a Conference team to the Premiership, and even Won it with (the now non-existent) Moor Green in FM08 and got to like the Quarters of the Champions League.
Interesting that the the most popular choices are 3* followed closely by 4*, which probably suggests that the difficulty of the game is actually about right.
(insert useless characters here)
I usually start with lower league teams,and obivously it takes years to achieve something with them,but i quickly get bored and pick another team then another,it goes on and on.Thats why i give myself 2
3 for me for sure.
3* though if I get really into the game, I can usually reach 4*
I would say 4*
I have had moments of 5* ..... and moments of 3*
Tried all sorts of challenges, Man Utd, Real Madrid, Preston NE, Southport, Vauxhall Motors etc. I have done it all. I love starting as a small club like Southport and taking 15-20 seasons to get them to be the best team in the world with a huge stadium named after me and and a squad of complete regens.
I generally class myself as a 3*
I'm generally like a lot of others. I'm a better lower league manager than I am at a higher league. I generally tend to get teams promoted to the top division and then leave them :-)
I would say 3 i get the expectations I said I would to the board some may say I am 4 but I would think 3
2* in terms of achievement, 5* for effort.
Im undoubtedly a 4. So i should be having played FM/CM since Championship Manager 2. I always start saves thinking that i'm going to be a 5 but never do, i tend to do whats expected of me consistantly but not too much more, makes me wonder why i still play but i do!
It would give my self 3 .Strangely i have had more success with AT Madrid than any other top 4 English or Italian team.Also for me is harder to win the league with the top 4 teams than to get promoted in the first league with a lower league team.
only new to the game but i'd say a 3 ac.milan at mo in second season came second in first season but one the cup. This season 3 points clear at xmas lost only once but have drawn 6.
I would say 4. Generally successful, although sometimes I will make a gigantic **** up and bail...
between 3 and 4
Judging by FM09 and FM07, I'd say 5.
All others usually between 4 and 5.
At the start of the game i.e first couple of seasons i rekon a 4. However after that a 2/3 as teams work out my tactics and i usually struggle to adapt.
I normally do well on FM but my lack of long term saves I think stops me from being a 4*
Hmm I rate myself 3 I suppose . I'm not bad and I'm not a expert
My CV in this game is much better than real life. Managed back to back promotions in France, twice in England and once in Scotland. I put myself as a 5, but only because there isn't a 4.5.
I don't think I'm that good. It's just that AI's squad building is horrible (no offence SI), I can always find random quality freebies who aren't even being looked at by other teams. Freebies usually get me all the way to the top league.
I think everybody's CV in this game is better than real life bardock
As for the freebies part, I've noticed it myself; can normally pick up future superstars as the years go by for pennies. Will also find top quality players willing to rot in the reserves of their club as opposed to moving to your club for guaranteed 1st team football.
Anyway, enough of FM bashing, would like more votes now we've had the new game for a while
A confident 2* here.
Being a LLM I do of course lack some of the 'expertise' (T&TT, GP&TG ) that (I suspect many of) the 4* or 5* experts have. But overall I'm convinced that I could be better if I were more of a stickler for training setups, paid more attention to clever tactical setups etc. But that's me. It's a simple game IRL, so it should be simple in FM, too
I suppose then, DJ, the term (question) "How good are you at FM?" is very broad, seeing as we all have our own way of playing the game.
2? definitely!
Put myself down as a 3 last time I saw this thread, probably have to go down to two based on FM10, played 1 game, started as Villa, 2 wins in the league, through in the Uefa, everything is fine, 5 straight league defeats, out of league cup and in goes my resignation, start off as a Championship club next.
Although I need to spend more time, I'm playing it too quickly, I.e continue, continue, continue, not really do tactics...play match while I scour the net etc..
5* i'd love to manage my home team
Smoggy and proud!
Current ability : 3 stars, currently have a small ukranian side chasing the league one title. Expected to finish 17.
Pottential ability : 4 stars, as its my career game I will manage plenty of clubs so only time will tell
And on a side note, I did get offered the Middlesbrough job, I turned it down
I'm the mirror opposite; I like to become completely engrossed in the game and take ages to even get to the next match, let alone the next month/season.
I started as Man City a couple of days and and, barring some noodling around with the editor in between, I've only just reached my first League game of the season tonight. Have yet to play it.
Last edited by Wee Aja; 03-11-2009 at 23:59.
3* Given a good base squad and some transfer funds, I'm awesome. But, I really struggle in the lower leagues. Not a bargain hunter.
********** stars maybe? I'm the Phil Brown of FM.

Maybe witnesses cld call if the idiots who are exploiting the alleged victim in their hate game weren't twitting ppl to call the police station and tie up the lines. some may mean well but most are just idiots on a joy ride, pouring salt into a open wound.

When the people of this town should be hanging their heads in shame, they are trying to figure out how to white wash it. have a good time contributing to what is wrong with America.

I just wanted to state that this is so disgusting. I live in a small town in Northern Nevada and read about this online. I think it is one of the most vile things and that fact that the community is torn between the boys and the girls is outrageous. What is there to be torn about? All of you should be standing by this young woman and letting these so called upstanding young athletes know that this should not be tolerated! Period! I cannot believe this young girl is having to go through this and the humiliation she must be feeling. I am here to say that this would not be tolerated in our home town and they would not be rewarded for their actions here. I am saddened and appauled by what these young men are representing. Shame on them all.

When a person is grieving, the person needs to know that he or she has someone who cares. When the person receives your basket, he or she will know you do care. When it comes to sending a gift basket during death, the price should not matter because you and the receiver will both benefit. The sympathy-get well gift basket is worth every cent that's spent on it.

I tried using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS using a USB Stick, but the desktop resolution is really low - every icon and piece of text looks pixelated. I have a
`ViewSonic VS10866 monitor : 19"
LCD display, 16:10 aspect ratio,
300-nit brightness, 500:1 contrast ratio`
. How do I fix this resolution problem? The last time I used Ubuntu, it was version 10.04 which worked perfectly fine. So what's wrong now? I currently only have Windows on my machine, which I plan to run along with 12.04.

Awesome replacement for IDEA's 'Show directory in editor tabs for non-unique filenames'. If you have same named files in different directories this plugin will allow you to have directory names added to tab labels. It only shows path differences so if you have "blog/controllers/index" and "news/controllers/index" it will add either [blog] or [news]. In setting tab 'Tabdir' you can control how prefixes will be formatted.
Per-project configuration allow specify different formatting rules for each directory in project. To enable per-project configuration enable "Use per project configuration" checkbox(see screenshot №3) and reopen settings window(need close with Ok or Apply buttons). After this you will find 'Tabdir' configuration in project section(screenshot №4) in which different configurations can be specified.Note: that you should turn off IDE Settings → Editor tabs → Show directory in editor tabs for non-unique filenames.

This technology increases hydrocarbon recovery

[W2 glycerol]
Twenty years after the
first two glycerol dehydration units were built for
supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) use,
Denbury Resources found a need to build new units to process
the increasing amount of CO2 production from the
Jackson Dome area in Mississippi. Denbury has now completed and
started up five new glycerol-based dehydration facilities in the past five years,
with other units under construction. Glycerol is used to
dehydrate CO2 when high-pressures and non-idealities
cause excessive vapor-phase glycol (i.e., ethylene, diethylene
or trietheylene glycol) losses, making normal glycol-based
dehydration uneconomical in comparison with glycerol-based
dehydration. Denbury uses the supercritical CO2
primarily for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

HICKORY, N.C. – Having not dropped a singles match in a South Atlantic Conference dual since Feb. 23, Anderson University men's tennis kept the streak alive with a 9-0 blanking over Lenoir-Rhyne on Tuesday afternoon at Hickory High School.
With the win, the Trojans move above .500 at 6-5 overall and 6-1 in league play, while the Bears drop to 5-13 on the year and 2-5 in the SAC. The victory is AU's fifth win in its last six matches.
The freshmen team of Juan Carracedo and Mateo Rivas posted an 8-4 victory over Lenoir-Rhyne's Robin Hochguertel and Hunter Pack at the No. 1 position, while senior Danilo Faria and sophomore Paul Michael Calhoun snapped a brief losing skid with an 8-2 win over Filip Dobrosavljevic and Kilian Symalla at the No. 2 slot. Sophomores Inaki Iriberry and Tomas Passalacqua claimed an 8-1 win at No. 3 to round out doubles.
In singles, the Trojans continued their winning trend, as Carracedo recorded a three-set 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 win over Hochguertel at No. 1, while Passalacqua tallied a 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Pack at the No. 2 spot.
Rivas increased his singles winning streak to five as he cruised past Symalla 6-0, 6-1 at the No. 3 position, while Calhoun earned his own straight-set win with a 6-2, 6-2 decision over Dobrosavljevic. Calhoun has now won six of his last seven singles matches.
Rounding out the singles round, Iriberry grabbed a 6-2, 6-2 victory at the No. 5 spot, while Faria notched a 6-3, 6-1 win at No. 6. With the win, Faria improved to 7-2 for the season and increased his winning streak to six straight matches.
The Trojans continue their grueling week on Thursday when they welcome Limestone to Max Grubbs Memorial Courts. First serve against the Saints is slated for 3 p.m.

Mercedes-Benz with $1 million deposit at C1 Bank
Open to Florida residents only.
If you have a million bucks lying around, you can score a free 2012 Mercedes from Tampa-based C1 Bank.
Deposit $1 million in a five-year CD and pick one of four free Mercedes-Benz models valued at more than $59,000 through Crown Eurocars, Inc. in St. Petersburg. 2012 model choices include the SLK350 Roadster, E350 Sedan, ML350 SUV or an E350 Convertible.
13 Comments add a comment
Not really free, since you don't get to collect the interest for 5 years.
I just withdrew my million and then realized I wasn't a Florida resident.
OK Jeeves, put the private jet back in the hangar....no, not that hangar, the other one.
Even at the LOWEST CD Interest rates, if this one doesnt let you collect interest then thats AT LEAST $90,000 in SIMPLE (not even compund) interest.
Im saving up. When does the deal expire?
@ricardopresas: In a financial sense, $90,000 in five years is not nearly worth $90,000 today. One must use the present value of money to compare values at different times. In other words, you have to discount that $90,000 at the risk free interest rate for five years to see how much it's worth today.
@stunna735: valid through July 31, 2012
If it comes with Hookers, I'M IN!
Best deal out there for a 5-year deal is 1.8% compounded quarterly. Ally has it for 1.68 daily. Either way, not much diff.
So at the end of the 5 years, compounded, you're looking a little above $90k. Do the NPV of it.
Compared to C1's deal:
1.2% gets you slightly above $61k, do the NPV but also add in the value of the car and taxes. But you also get a $60k car.
Basically, is the car worth more than the $30k diff in interest spread over the 5 years? Yeah, it's a deal.
Whats the catch?
I was gonna go for it but they didn't have it in blue.
Only good for upto 2 per household, my mistress and I are in for 1. Wife gets screwed again. It's good to be reach!
This is not a good deal from a financial point.
1) In the fine print it says they are paying the full term interest up front and that money is used to pay for the car. You only get the 1 million back at the end of the term(no additional interest) - quote from fine print " At maturity of the full term with no exceptions or withdrawals, the client is entitled to receive from C1 Bank the $1,000,000.00 principal amount of deposited funds only"
2) What is the car worth after 5 years? It is a depreciating asset. So at the end of 5 years in future value dollars you could have a 1 mil + 90k in interest - or 1 mil and a car worth probably 30k.
3) Don't forget the cost to insure and drive the car.
4) Income tax on the entire pre-payed interest this year
I suppose if you were in the market for a new Mercedes it might be a good deal - depends on how it compares to just buying one outright and depositing the rest of the money in another bank.
You should just buy the car outright. $1mil can be invested and provide a better return...

You certainly could if absolutely needed using the static 'mixin' method that exists in every class. For example:
Ext.define('A', { foo: true }); Ext.define('B', { bar: true }); A.mixin('b', B);Sencha Touch Lead Architect

Hum, seems to fit my needs but i can't make it work :
Ext.define('Ext.i18n.Locale', { extend: 'Ext.Base', mixins: ['Ext.util.Observable'], constructor: function(config) { // Merge defaults this.config = Ext.Object.merge(this.config, config); // Load mixins _.each(this.config.mixins, function(value, key) { Ext.i18n.Locale.mixin(value, Ext.ClassManager.get(value)); });

During the course of my journalism career I've covered many beats,
with public education being one of my favorites. No other beat can
match it in terms of complexity, compassion, controversy and drama.
Now, as a parent with a daughter in kindergarten, the school issues and controversies this newspaper reports on hit closer to home.
It's new territory for me.
However, my journalism experience gives me an edge over most parents – and educators. I've a broader understanding of the big picture of public education. And, I'm sad to say, the picture's not pretty.
For the last 20 years, I've covered the good and the bad sides of public education. I've written stories about exemplary educators, innovative programs and student accomplishments. At the same time, I've reported on embattled superintendents, dysfunctional school boards, incompetent school administrators and teachers, not to mention vicious union/district negotiations.
One of the most difficult issues on the education beat is covering budget cuts. Not only because it involves lots of numbers (I'm not a fan of math), but because the cuts often strike deep – into the teachers' pocketbooks and the students' education.
By now we've all experienced first-hand the effects of the economic crisis. Families are stretching every dollar to make ends meet. The Brookings-Harbor School District – facing a $750,000 or more shortfall – is preparing to make drastic cuts to an already bare-bones budget.
And there's no relief in sight: Educators are expecting more cuts, following the release of the governor's proposes 2009-2011 budget, which is projected to be about $2 million below current service level costs.
One thing is certain: We're going to lose programs and people. Which ones should be eliminated is the challenge that the superintendent's budget committee, the union and, ultimately, the school board will face.
It's a situation that can get ugly – fast. Fingers start pointing. Accusations start flying. Personal attacks are launched. Feelings get hurt.
Good fodder for the newspaper? Sure. But I hope it doesn't come to that. Such in-fighting among school employees would engender little empathy from the public, whose tax dollars fund their paychecks.
So what's the best solution?
I don't have one. And neither do the school administrators, teachers and parents I've asked. It's extremely frustrating to me – as a journalist and especially as a parent of a school-age child.
What kind of public education system will exist when my daughter is a fifth-grader? A 10th-grader?
For parents who haven't been paying much attention to the quality of the education their children are receiving, now is the time.
Don't wait until the 11th hour – when the final budget cuts are being proposed to the school board. Participate in the budget process, which began earlier this week and is open to the public. Read the stories reported in the Pilot and share your opinions with school officials and in letters to the editor.
Superintendent John Garner, a newcomer to the community (but not to education), has asked everyone to participate in the process and approach it objectivity – not emotionally. That's asking a lot, but I think it can be done. It must.
Our children's futures depend on it.

Sure, why not? If you're really worried about it, just saute the frozen and the fresh separately and combine them after the fact.

So, I just found a Heavy Crossbow of Extra Shots [...] (+1). When I fire it, I notice that it only uses one bolt; judging by the status messages, it seems like enemies are only being hit once.
What's up with that?
When I press shift-C, the character screen assures me that I get "Shots: 2/turn."
I'm playing as a Half-Troll Warrior; I heard that bows of extra shots are the only way to get more than one shot off at a time, but I don't seem to be getting that.
I'm not sure if it's important, but my strength is 18/160 and my dexterity is 15.

Our local Korean grocery store carries duck eggs in addition to chicken and quail eggs (both of which I've eaten). What differences should I expect if I buy the duck eggs and use them in egg dishes such as scrambled eggs?
I ran across a good resource while looking into duck eggs. I'll let it speak for itself:
There's a great deal more information on the page as well: http://www.practicallyedible.com/duck-eggs
Hehe when I first read the title of your question I thought 'erm chicken eggs are from chickens and duck eggs are from ducks'.
Duck eggs taste pretty similar to chicken eggs but they are likely to have a larger yolk. Some people say they have a stronger flavour but I haven't personally noticed this.
I've only ever baked with chicken eggs but I've heard several people say they prefer to bake with duck eggs (possibly because the larger yolks create a richer cake). Duck eggs can produce a slightly gooier scrambled egg mixture.
Something to remember is that chicken eggs can vary in taste (such as a fresh organic chicken egg compared to an older battery chicken egg) in the same way that duck eggs will vary as well. Although some people don't notice any difference between how eggs are produced, you might do and if you don't like duck eggs the first time to taste them it might be worth trying them again from a different source as you might write them off when actually you just like better quality duck eggs.
I've used them in dishes which contain both the whites and yolks (eg: scrambled eggs, quiches etc). Tasted great, no real difference except that the duck eggs are bigger and therefore you may have to compensate in the dry ingredients of your recipe.
I have also used duck eggs in dishes where only the whites were used (eg: pavlova and also a hard meringue). I found the taste VERY strong and bordering on unpleasant, although that might also have been because in both cases the duck eggs were fresh from the barn outside.
I haven't tried recipes with only duck egg yolks so can't give any advice here.
This just showed up on my news feed. It's about everything there is to know.
Chicken eggs (large egg, 50g):
Caloric ratio: 2% Carbs, 63% Fats, 35% protein
Duck eggs (70g):
Caloric ratio: 3% Carbs, 63% Fats, 35% protein
Duck eggs have three times the cholesterol of a chicken egg.
What are the benefits to eating duck eggs?
How does a duck egg taste? Most fans of duck eggs describe them as richer and creamier. Some say the flavor is stronger, some say it's lighter. Strength of flavor can often depend on the duck's diet.
How do I cook duck eggs? You cook them the same way you would cook a chicken egg. Because they have a lower water content than chicken eggs, you should be careful when frying them, as overcooking can lead to a rubbery egg. Because duck eggs do cook up fluffier, some recommended ways to use duck eggs are:

Sometimes when playing a trumpet/flugelhorn part on my own, I can't tell if I'm hitting the right partial, usually in the upper register. Sometimes it's too high, other times too low. What is the proper technique to guarantee that I'm playing the right partial?
When I first started playing, I had much of the same problem as you. In fact, for the first month, I played every last partial wrong and I sounded terrible. However, I started going to the lowest partial I could hit (low C). I counted up from there. I had to do this before every piece for a while to "find my place". After that, I knew by listening whether I hit the right partial or not. However, although I could not yet always hit the right partial the first time, I did know if I hit the right one.
However, playing a brass instrument is as much mental as it is physical. You must know and be envisioning in your head what you are going to play in order to play it right. This came easier first with the lower partials and eventually with the upper partials. I would categorize my progress into four steps:
Each of these took a while. It will vary by the player, but it took me a month or two to develop my ear and to know if I struck the right note. Being able to hit any note took much longer. Most of the time was spent working on the upper register, however. It takes a while, but developing one's ear and being able to envision what you are about to play in your mind are the two most important things you'll need.
I achieved the first by counting. I would count up to a partial. Let's say E. When I sounded it, I would try to remember it and envision it. I would then play a few bars of some other piece and come back to it. I would envision the E, and hit as close as I could. If I could not tell if I hit it, I counted down the partials until I reached low C. If you have a tuner, you can just take a look at that to see if you hit the right one, but I prefer counting partials. By doing this every time I practiced for a while, I not only built up my range, but I also developed the ability to hit any partial in my comfortable range (about to the high C at the time).
The upper register uses the same concept as the middle register. The only difference is that the upper register takes more time to master. If the piece you're working on has multiple trumpet parts, play the first (or solo if there is one) trumpet part. If you can't play it all, just play the parts you are able to play for now. This allows you to get a feel for the rhythm, and the pitch. When you're comfortable with that, Try playing the second trumpet part. Typically, it's more harmony and more repetition of notes. Next, try playing it up a step. If its in F Major, move it up half a step and play it in F# Major. This will firstly, help you with transposition. Secondly, (and more importantly) you'l learn to envision what you are going to play and play it. Keep moving it up a step until you reach the top of your range. This exercise helps with many areas of your playing, but here focus on hitting the right notes just by envisioning them. It will come with practice.
This will not come like turning a light bulb on. It takes time, dedication, and focus. However, if you can envision what you want to hit, and try to hit that partial, you'll eventually get it.
1. Hearing
If you know how the part is supposed to sound (either because you've heard it before, or because you can read music sufficiently well to hear the melody in your head), then you can obviously notice when the sound you play does not match. It can be a problem if you are playing in a very loud ensemble and can't really hear yourself (think 3rd trumpet in a big band's fff).
This helps you tell if you are hitting right or not, but you realize that you played wrong only after having already started to play the tone. Bummer.
2. Feeling
After a lot of practice, your lips' muscle memory just knows the right feeling for a given tone and loudness. Unfortunately this changes with instrument and mouthpiece. And possibly in what shape you are that day.
3. Cheating
If you are in a gig situation and are afraid to miss that high Ab start tone, it helps to sing it in your head before. But how do you know the pitch? You can play a low Ab softly, but that's not very discrete and does not sound professional at all. What you can do instead is blowing air through your trumpet (no sound) then suddenly throw your tongue to the bottom of the mouthpiece. Depending on which valves are pressed, you can hear the lowest tone with that fingering (that is low C down to low F#). Try to do this tongue trick while fingering C to F# up and down, and you will understand what I mean.
I would say you need both hearing and feeling. If you are practicing and still do not know if you played the correct notes or not, I'd consider:

Do they still make blow dryers with attachments?
I used to have a blow dryer whose brand I no longer remember, and I've been looking for a replacement ever since it wore out, years ago. It wasn't high powered (although it did have the same four choices they all seem to have, high + hot + low + cool). The air came out along one side, rather than at the end, the way most of them do, and there was a brush, and a comb, as well as the standard concentrator piece that they all seem to have.
Has anyone ever seen something like this? I really miss it, and have asked at several beauty supply places, who all agree that it sounds like a great idea, and no, they've never seen one.

I should add that it was certainly a name brand. I don't generally buy things if I don't recognize the maker. I had it in the early eighties, which means that some of you were not yet born.
Conair still makes several versions with attachments but I haven't seen one with all the attachments that you have described. Several I have seen are more stylers -
While others are more dryer -
I try not to use my dryer as I don't pay attention and I am always getting my hair sucked into the dang thing (I have hair down to my waist).
Haven't scoured the net to find anything yet...but I know the exact dryer you mentioned! My Husband had one years ago and he loved it, because the air came out of the side it was like using a rather bulky hair-brush and it straightened his curly hair like no other.
@colonelpuffpuff: Oh. My. You have my gratitude, and thank you. The item I wanted was your first link. Apparently I needed to search for styler instead of dryer, all this time.
Thank you, and it's already on the way.
Did I remember to say thank you? Thank you!
Vidal Sassoon also still makes this type - for reasons I don't quite understand, they tend to be marketed more towards men. Here's the VS one:
I don't have this exact thing but I do have other Vidal Sassoon hair care appliances and the ones I have have proved to be great quality (read: they work well and they last many years).
@kalaharinight: I've found that one before. It's marketed towards men (and people with short hair) because it tangles in long hair. Ow!
@shrdlu: You're welcome. I really had no idea the there were ones that blow out the side. I have had mine for eons and haven't gone looking at new ones for a long while. So, thank you, as I learned something new today.
@Shrdlu: I can't find your "vote me down" question! I respectfully bowed out on the idea, since you made the declaration first :)
I'm guessing you must have just not been on since the Downvote has come in to effect or you changed your mind for fear of rep recourse (which as I type this, I realize may actually be a wise decision).
Either way, if you DO create it, invoke my name so I can come contribute.
@drchops: Oh, no, we had you-know-who that did it for us. I had no idea someone was so universally loathed, that he'd continually get voted down on everything he did. He seems to be enjoying it, actually, since he's going out of his way to invite more of it.
Take a look over on Fresh; there's a couple of opportunities right there. In addition, I understand some folks have been searching out older things he'd posted (and commented upon) in order to downvote those, too.
I was late to this game this morning (strangely enough, I have a life), and it was already well under way before I started playing.
I should remind you that it's only luck I saw this, since I have notify if mentioned turned off.

I'm writing a game which uses obj files. I created an object in blender and I applied texture without UV coordinates and my question is: how to export this object to obj file, but with texture coordinates?
As you already noticed, there's no way around UV coordinates for games. Thankfully, blender comes with some very good UV unwrapping tools.
The simplest way to get UV coordinates from a 3D model in blender is to use Smart UV Project. You can do that by pressing U while in edit-mode and then select "Smart UV Project" from the menu.
This creates UV "patches" given some angular threshold. The result can look like this:
Done, you've got UV coordinates now. However, these coordinates are most likely not that useful, since you'll end up with a ton of seams. A good unwrapped mesh has less seams, preferably at places where they can easily be hidden (eg. where an uniform color meets) or where the seams will be obstructed by other geometry. That's why you usually mark the seams yourself (in edit-mode select the edges that should be a seam and press Ctrl + E and select "Mark Seam" in the menu). Then use the regular "Unwrap" (not "Smart UV Project") to unwrap the mesh,
Good UV unwrapping is hard and requires practice. This video-tutorial might help you getting started.

The treads on my road bike's 28C tires are almost completely gone—they only persist along the shoulders of the tire. Do the treads matter? What is a good indicator of when the tire as a whole needs to be replaced?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

The tread on a road bike's tires is really quite unimportant and purely cosmetic. Road bike tires have tread patterns because they sell better, not because they perform better.
Here's some questions to ask to decide about replacing a tire:
Smooth tread is actually ideal for road conditions, but not commonly found on tires. If you're on hard surfaces such as pavement/asphalt, the tread doesn't help you and actually slightly reduces contact area and increases rolling resistance. On most road tires the minimal tread pattern is just cosmetic to make their customers feel better (since a smooth tire looks slippery).
See also: Sheldon Brown's comments on tire replacement and tread patterns
If you plan to ride through mud, sand or other soft surfaces, you need tread. So when you no longer have tread on your mountain bike or cyclocross bike's tires, it's time to replace them (unless you plan to only use them on the road).
Many road tyres would have wear indicator. Usually that would be a small hollow on the thread. As long as it is visible the tyre is ok, once it is gone tyre should be replaced as that indicates that the main rubber layer is worn out, the grip is no longer that good and it may not be safe to ride.
For the last two worn-out road tires I replaced, I've noticed a pattern in wear that seems to be fairly consistent. This isn't a large sample size, but the tires were from different brands, and the wear seemed consistent with various comments I've seen from others. Based on your own tradeoff between cost- and safety-consciousness, you have to decide at which stage in the wear process you need to replace the tire.
This process might not be exactly the same for all tire models, but I've noticed it in several of them. Of course, even a new tire should be replaced if it develops any signs of trauma as discussed in other answers (bulges, cracks, or gashes), or if the frequency of punctures increases.
I replace my tyres when i start to get a lot of punctures.
With new tyres, i rarely get punctures, despite what i see that i cycle over. after some time, and wear, i suddenly start getting a lot of punctures.
As a hypothetical that doesnt happen: If i dont get any punctures and i start to see the tyre fibers coming through, its definiely time to replace the tyre.
I know it meets no manufacturers or performance guidelines, but its a method that requires absolutely no monitoring and lets me get all the life i can out of the tyre.

Written by sharissa on December 16, 2011
I am not a big perfume person, but I wanted something light and powdery. I asked the lady at the perfume store in the mall and she showed it to me. I immediately loved it and bout 2 bottles, since it was on sale. My 14 year old daughter ended up taking 1 bottle for herself. When I went back a year later the store was closed and I could not find it anywhere. So I bought it online for cheaper than I originally bought it for.

This was a martial arts movie, I remember that it was team-based: members of teams fight against each other one-on-one and win points for their team, the points determine the winning team in the end. However, I don't know if it was just two teams or multiple teams. I think it was an american movie, with the winning team being Asian and the other (or second-best) American. In the end, the winning team hand their medals to the other team, beginning with a severely crippled member of the winning team.
There was a dramatic scene where this crippled member of the winning team barely limps from one side of the arena to the other, handing over his medal, with other members of his team following.
There was also a scene, earlier in the movie, where one member of the "other" team, a white guy, has a limb injury (can't remember if it was hand or leg), and his trainer makes him focus on ignoring the pain so he can continue fighting, which he manages to do.
I think the movie should be a relatively well-known 80s movie (maybe late 70s or early 90s). Any ideas?

Tough and effective The Dec. 3 editorial "No price paid for negligence" raised objections to the common practice in government to put employees who perform poorly, or even commit crimes, on paid leave pending an investigation. Why not put them on unpaid leave, sparing taxpayers the double indignity of paying poor employees for not working? It can be done, even in the world of unionized workforces. Case in point: Waterbury Hospital this week suspended an employee — without pay — for refusing to take a flu shot as required by hospital policy. The employee, a nurse's assistant in the operating room, faced termination Dec. 15 if she didn't comply; she reportedly relented Thursday. With such rigorous enforcement of an important initiative, is it any wonder the hospital's employees have followed orders, even though as many as 75 objected to the requirement?

MORRISTOWN - Many a basketball game has been decided by a free throw.
Tuesday night's Buckeye 8 tilt between Union Local and visiting Harrison Central was decided by 15 of them.
The Jets were 15 of 16 from the charity stripe during the fourth quarter and that advantage propelled Union Local to a 61-49 triumph at ''The Hangar.''
''They made 15 in a row at one point and that was the difference,'' Harrison Central head coach Justin Clifford lamented.
It truly was.
Union Local held a slim 40-38 lead after the third quarter, but once the Jets got into the bonus with 6:06 remaining in the game they took full advantage.
''Harrison Central played hard and we knew they'd play hard coming in,'' UL head coach Ben Porter said. ''We got a little fatigued in the fourth quarter, but for us to step up and knock those (free throws) down was a credit to the kids.
''We shoot 'em in practice, but they have to step up during the pressure of the game and make them and they all did a good job.''
Kaleb McDiffit, battling illness, was 6-for-6 in the fourth. Trenton Tipton was 4 of 4. Gavin Porter was 3 of 3.
When all was said and done, Union Local finished the night 22 of 25 from the line, while Huskies were 7 of 13.
Clifford didn't blame the referees or anyone else for the discrepancy.
''We kind of had the tempo where we wanted it for most of the game,'' he said. ''We had the lead for most of the game, or were close to it. But, at the end, they made the plays and we didn't.''
The Huskies (1-2) tied the score at 40-40 during the opening moments of the fourth. Dalton Rutter, who tied for team scoring honors with 13, got loose in the open court following a Jets' turnover and was fouled going to the basket. He made both free throws to knot the game.
McDiffit made his first two free throws of the period at the 6:06 mark to give UL a 42-40 lead.
Following a Tison Johnson miss for Harrison Central, Porter converted a 3-point play to stretch the Jets' lead to 45-40 with 5:39 remaining.
Austin Kowalski, who also had 13 for the Huskies, made a layup a short time later to make it a 45-42 game.
From there, the Jets made six straight free throws to virtually ice the game, while the Huskies struggled to hit a shot. Harrison Central was 2-for-11 from the field in the fourth, with all but three of those attempts coming from 3-point range.
''We're gonna be who we are,'' Clifford said. ''We played so hard, so it's hard to sit here and be mad at them or anything. The ball was going in early and the shots weren't going in in the fourth. That was the difference.''
Kowalski was held to two points in the fourth.
''We were trying to limit his touches,'' Porter said. ''He's a very good player and our kids were doing a good job of keeping him from getting the ball.
''He was moving all night and I think he wore us down a little bit.
"I think we did a good job of keeping the ball out of his hands for the most part.''
Union Local (2-0) also had two players score 13 to lead the team - Tipton and Porter. McDiffit and big man Colton McKivitz each added 10.
Union Local 61, Harrison Central 49

Fermented wheat germ extract induces apoptosis and downregulation of major histocompatibility complex class I proteins in tumor T and B cell lines
Release date
The fermented wheat germ extract (code name: MSC, trade name: Avemar), with standardized benzoquinone content has been shown to inhibit tumor propagation and metastases formation in vivo. The aim of this study was to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms of the anti-tumor effect of MSC. Therefore, we have designed in vitro model experiments using T and B tumor lymphocytic cell lines.

Louise Renne '61
Taking a Stand
As the city attorney for San Francisco, Louise Renne '61 once successfully sued the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company to remove the cartoon character Joe Camel from cigarette advertisements. She also took on Bank of America in a case that helped San Francisco regain more than $80 million after the bank mishandled public bonds. "The job of a public attorney is not only to defend the public entity," she explains, "but also to affirmatively protect consumers and taxpayers."
Renne has enjoyed a long, and perhaps unlikely, career in the public sector. When she and her husband first moved to San Francisco, the legal community was governed by a hard-to-crack patriarchal network.
"There were a number of law firms that wouldn't even give me an interview," recalls Renne. One firm told her that a woman with two children should be at home rather than at the office.
Renne eventually broke through, and after working at a law firm, serving on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and working as the city attorney, she has now opened her own firm. Renne Sloan Holtzman & Sakai represents public agencies, as well as public interest clients, and is currently working to end bid-rigging and discrimination in the municipal bond industry. The subject riles Renne's legal passion and makes the answer to the question of retirement obvious. As she says definitively, "I don't see it on the near horizon."

WASHINGTON (CBS NEWS) -- House Speaker John Boehner pulled his "fiscal cliff" backup plan - the so-called "Plan B" bill - tonight after he realized he didn't have enough Republican votes to pass it.
In a written statement, Boehner said: "The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass. Now it is up to the president to work with Senator Reid on legislation to avert the fiscal cliff. The House has already passed legislation to stop all of the January 1 tax rate increases and replace the sequester with responsible spending cuts that will begin to address our nation's crippling debt. The Senate must now act."
The revelation that Boehner couldn't muster enough support for "Plan B" virtually confirms what Obama officials told CBS News earlier today: he's short on GOP support for the "fiscal cliff" offer he presented to the president last weekend. The two sides are not that far apart in the "fiscal cliff" negotiations: In their most recent offers, Mr. Obama was offering $1.2 trillion in revenue and $800 billion in spending cuts; Boehner was offering $1 trillion in revenue and $1 trillion in spending cuts.
There were several warning signs of the lack of enthusiasm among House Republicans: Boehner was seen on the House floor Wednesday glad-handling in an effort to win votes, and the decision to hold the vote late in the evening tonight appeared to have been made to ensure there was adequate time to ensure that the bill would pass. Erick Erickson of the conservative RedState blog reported Thursday morning that 34 Republicans planned to vote against the bill and 12 more were considering doing so, more than enough to block passage
The GOP maneuvering looks similar to what took place in the debt ceiling debate last summer, when Boehner worked toward a deal with the president that prompted blowback from his caucus once details started to spill out. At the time, House Republicans passed "Cut, Cap and Balance," which was essentially the "Plan B" of 2011 - it had no chance to pass the Senate or be signed by the president, but it allowed Republicans to say that they had at least put forth a plan.
Boehner's attempts to place blame for a possible tax hike on Democrats is complicated in part by the fact that the Democrat-led Senate has already passed a bill extending the Bush-era tax rates on income under $250,000, a bill Mr. Obama has said he would sign. House Republicans discussed holding a vote on that bill, in an effort to show that it could not pass the House, but ultimately decided against doing so.
With the nation set to go over the "fiscal cliff" in less than two weeks - and Boehner sending members home for Christmas - the path forward for negotiations is unclear. Boehner is not the only one facing a potential revolt from his base: Liberal Democrats have expressed concern over the president's willingness to change the way inflation is calculated in Social Security and other government programs - a shift to the so-called "chained CPI."
But it is Boehner who faces the larger challenge in keeping his side on board: Many House conservatives fear that a vote for a "fiscal cliff" deal could mean a primary challenge from a tea party-backed candidate. Though the Progressive Change Campaign Committee said Thursday that a Democrat who vote for a deal that includes chained CPI is "inviting a primary," most Democrats do not expect a vote for a "fiscal cliff" deal to mean potentially losing their seat.
The only way to reach a deal may be to let the nation go over the "cliff." When that happens, the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts will mean that taxes on nearly all Americans will go up. That fact would seem to make it easier for House Republicans to back a "fiscal cliff" deal, since they would be voting for a tax cut, not a tax hike.
But going over the "cliff" could have significant consequences. To be clear, the "cliff" is actually more of a slope: The $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts are phased in over a decade - it's not the immediate punch to the cut that "cliff" implies - and there are budgetary maneuvers that can at least somewhat soften the blow of both the tax hikes and spending cuts. But going over the "cliff" could spook the markets and once again shake world perceptions of the ability of the U.S. government to function effectively. And if a deal is not reached relatively soon after the deadlilne, the $500 billion in tax hikes and $200 billion in spending cuts in the first year will likely start pushing the nation back into recession.
Meanwhile, the nation is expected to reach the debt ceiling once again around February, an issue that Mr. Obama has hoped to take off the table as part of a "cliff" deal. And going over the "cliff" means more than just an increase in tax rates and the start of spending cuts mandated as part of the 2011 debt limit agreement: It also means the expiration of the payroll tax holiday, a lack of a patch for the Alternative Minimum Tax, no expansion of unemployment insurance, no expansion of the "doc fix" to keep physician reimbursements from falling, and a host of other outcomes.

I have two functions $f,g: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ which are continuous. Now in a proof one step that is not further explained says that the set
$$M = \{x \in \mathbb{R}| f(x) \leq g(f(x))\}$$ is closed.
I thought about it but could not find a short formal argument and I fear the answer is very trivial because the book explains all others steps very detailed. I noticed that if you instead say $f(x) < g(f(x))$ it is not true anymore because you could set $f(x)=\frac{1}{|x|+1}$ and $g(x)=1$ getting a contradiction for a sequence with $x_n \rightarrow 0$. Thank you in advance.

Loss of Appetite & Appetite Medications
What is it? What causes it?
Loss of appetite is when you do not get the feeling that you want to eat. Many things can cause you to lose your appetite the cancer itself, treatment, anxiety, and/or depression to name a few.
Why is it important to maintain an appetite?
A good diet is one of the best ways to help damaged cells rebuild. Studies have found that patients who eat well can better handle the side effects of treatment.
What to do:
- Try to eat small meals often and eat a variety of foods.
- If you have pain while chewing or swallowing, ask your health care provider and/or dietitian about recommending a powdered or liquid diet supplement.
- Milkshakes and pureed fruits often taste good when solid food does not. There are nutritional supplements that can be added to milkshakes to give you the vitamins and protein you need.
- Keep healthy snacks nearby for nibbling.
- If you can only eat small amounts, increase calories by adding butter, cream sauces or melted cheese to your recipes. You may also want to substitute milk or half and half when water is called for in recipes.
- Ask the VICC nutritionist about special recipe booklets and diet guides.
- Use soft lighting, quiet music and colorful table settings to make eating a special event.
- If friend and family offer to cook for you, let them and do not be afraid to tell them what you like to eat.
