The Hullabaloo ABC (Hardcover)
Aha! Boo! Cock-a-doodle-doo! It's morning on the farm, and there are sights and sounds galore. Donkeys are braying, pigs are grunting, cows are mooing-even the jays are jabbering! From clucks and cackles to rumbles and whoops, this rollicking alphabet book takes young readers on a barnyard romp that is chock-full of noisy words they will love to hear and say out loud. Beverly Cleary's timeless text comes to life in vibrant new illustrations by Ted Rand. Here is a book that is guaranteed to delight a whole new generation of readers.
About the Author
Beverly Cleary is one of America's most beloved authors. As a child, she struggled with reading and writing. But by third grade, after spending much time in her public library in Portland, Oregon, she found her skills had greatly improved. Before long, her school librarian was saying that she should write children's books when she grew up.
Instead she became a librarian. When a young boy asked her, "Where are the books about kids like us?" she remembered her teacher's encouragement and was inspired to write the books she'd longed to read but couldn't find when she was younger. She based her funny stories on her own neighborhood experiences and the sort of children she knew. And so, the Klickitat Street gang was born!
Mrs. Cleary's books have earned her many prestigious awards, including the American Library Association's Laura Ingalls Wilder Award, presented to her in recognition of her lasting contribution to children's literature. Dear Mr. Henshaw won the Newbery Medal, and Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Her Father have been named Newbery Honor Books. Her characters, including Beezus and Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ralph, the motorcycle-riding mouse, have delighted children for generations.

I have a Mazda B2300 pickup with its tailgate stuck in the up position. The release lever doesn't require as much force to pull any more, and only one end seems to be releasing when I pull it. Any ideas how to get the other side to disengage?

By "only one end seems to be releasing when I pull it," I am assuming you mean the latch on only one side of the tailgate is releasing. That, coupled with the lightened pull, suggests to me that the other side cable has worn or broken. In the meantime, to un-stick it you'd have to find that cable and pull it. To fix the problem overall, you'll probably need to get a new cable, or at the very least have the old one reattached to the lever.
This may or may not be a permanent fix, but don't overlook the value of lubricating the gears and cables in the handle and the actual side latches themselves.
The stress of pulling on cables and gears may waste energy that could be used to pull the latches just that much farther. I've found that lubrication with WD-40 or Silicone spray to be a great method of dealing with a stuck tailgate. Spray it real good, and use the red tips that come with the spray cans.
The added benefit is that it will reduce wear and tear on the handle and latches, as it equates to less stress on the cables and more output on the latches.
I ended up pulling off the bed cover by unscrewing the 8 screws on the inside of the tailgate. There was a metal plate underneath that also came off, giving me access to the inner-workings of the tailgate latch mechanism. The plastic hardware connecting one of the pull-rods to the handle lever had snapped. The hardware kit that I had purchased from Auto-Zone actually didn't have anything that fit my setup. So I scrounged some hardware up from my garage and kludged a solution together. (Yes, duct tape was involved.) The solution that worked involved a wire-shelving drywall anchor, a 1/4"x20 nut, and 4 washers. The drywall anchor was a little too small for the hole on the lever, so I put a few wraps of duct tape around the bottom to keep it from pulling back out.

In my younger days I may have placed a few stickers on my bricks. Including some that covered multiple bricks.
Now my daughter has the tendency to do the same thing :)
How can I best remove the stickers, particularly old ones?
In my younger days I may have placed a few stickers on my bricks. Including some that covered multiple bricks.
Now my daughter has the tendency to do the same thing :)
How can I best remove the stickers, particularly old ones?
the best way i found out till now is to get them of as good as possible with your nails or a plastic-knife (i wouldn't recommend to use metal knifes or razorblades - if you do, be careful to avoid scratching the bricks surface) and then remove the remaining glue with:
I performed my own experiments to determine which methods work by randomly applying three stickers (which are similar to the stickers that come in LEGO sets) onto a simple brick wall.
I haven't tried hair spray, pure-alcohol or any other chemical cleaning products.
Best to remove as much as you can by mechanical means (plastic spatula/fingernail, nothing harder unless you like scratching your bricks) then use some 'Sticky Stuff Remover' to get the sticky residue off.
This stuff works on just about anything without leaving a mark, Lego is made from ABS and will not be affected by it.
I have used a razor blade to remove the sticker, then a wee bit of food oil to remove the residual glue.
Sometimes just using some tape and a repetitive dubbing motion have done the trick as well.
If you don't care about preserving the old sticker, remove it with your fingers or a plastic knife and then use rubbing alcohol to remove the remaining sticky bits. As other posters have noted, metal knives/razors leave the risk of scratching the plastic bricks - it all depends on the level of confidence in your knife/razor skills.
I use alcohol instead of harsher chemicals (like glass cleaner or hairspray) to reduce the amount of possibly toxic chemicals on the bricks, since kids will be playing with them after the sticker is removed.
Acetone (fingernail polish remover) works quite well also, I used to use it to get rid of marker and stickers on my LEGO bricks as a kid. Definitely do not soak your bricks in it though or you will notice your brick will turn out quite rubbery when you remove it! I found that out the hard way.
There is/was a product called Un-Du that would soften the adhesive of stickers so that they could be removed and reused. I was able to find a few links online, so I guess it's still around. The "patented" part of the "Un-Du" product was the tool extension attached to the bottle. The important part is the liquid and that is plain heptane. I haven't checked it against ABS, but I think it's worth a look see
Rapid remover works wonders. Also, hot water soak and then just peel it off.

5 B.S. Renaissance Myths You Learned in History Class
When you hear the word "Renaissance," chances are it summons up a mental image of brilliant artists effortlessly crapping out masterpieces and inventions, like a never-ending TED Talk in pantaloons. But some of what you think you know is wrong, some of it is misconstrued, and most of it just left your head completely the minute 8th grade history ended. But in case it's still knocking around in there, you should know ...
#5. The Rediscovery of the Classics Did Not Start the Renaissance
The Myth:
The Renaissance began in the 15th century, because that's when people rediscovered Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle for the first time in centuries ... and then, boom! Everything's got primitive engines and tiny dicks on it. All thanks to the power of reading.
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"I won't say I told you so, but I totally did."
The Reality:
Translators and scribes busting hump for Charlemagne banged out copies of Latin classics during the (not so) Dark Ages, too. Over the next few centuries, Italian and French scholars translated Arab and ancient Greek philosophy, math, and medical texts as well. So by the 12th century, students in Western Europe had access to an extensive library of Classical and Eastern knowledge. The Dark Ages may not have had Google Books, but hey, it was way more than the "nothing" we've all been told.
But if all that ancient knowledge was there all along, why wasn't there a Renaissance sooner?
Actually, there was. Twice. The Carolingian Renaissance and the Twelfth-Century Renaissance happened before the Renaissance, though they're both largely relegated to footnotes in our history books. Why? Because they lacked the one thing that makes the Renaissance stand out: stupid pants. Wait, no -- they had plenty of those. What these proto-Renaissances really lacked was any significant, memorable advancement of the arts. And the reason for that was simple: money.

Thankfully, the groundwork was eventually laid for us to have both money and stupid clothes.
As the Middle Ages wound down, Florence's pockets were bulging thanks to its textile industry. By the 15th century, Florence was like Wall Street before the subprime bubble burst: lots of people getting rich, not by perpetually toiling but simply by moving income around. Merchants and bankers suddenly possessed the ability to make it rain like only kings, popes, and unhappy druidic weather-gods could before. They also possessed something entirely novel at this point in human history: the leisure time to appreciate things.
So they looked around themselves ... and found jack-all to appreciate. They needed something to fill the void until we could get the Internet up and running, so they turned to art. Sculptures, paintings, and frescoes found a much wider audience than ever before, and artists were suddenly in high demand. We, as a species, were well aware of much of the knowledge attributed to the Renaissance. It hadn't necessarily been lost or neglected for thousands of years -- we just kind of lump it in as being "rediscovered" at the time because there were a lot of new paintings of robust naked women and sketches of death machines coming out. It must have been an era of enlightenment.

"After this, feel like going for a ride in my murder-matic?"
#4. The Renaissance Did Not Respect or Preserve the Past
Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com
The Myth:
It's downright amazing just how many of Italy's ancient buildings and monuments have stood the test of time, isn't it? No doubt a lot of that is thanks to the Renaissance, which rekindled an appreciation for all things ancient ... right?
The Reality:
While Renaissance scholars were busy searching for rare Classical texts, builders and architects were busy tearing down all the places where those texts had been written. Buildings were destroyed to recycle their stone for new projects. Some were torn down simply to make room for new construction. Countless ancient marble statues were melted down to procure lime. It was simply too much trouble to haul in new materials when stupid, useless old stuff like the Temple of Hercules and the Colosseum were sitting right there, just begging to be ransacked. Sure, we think of them as priceless relics of the past -- but if you lived next to one back in the day, it was just a big white tenement waiting to be pilfered.

"Help me carry this thing inside. I'm leaving for the weekend and want it to look like somebody's home."
Pagan sites weren't the only ones hit, either -- even the oldest church in Christendom fell victim to the ancient equivalent of meth-heads stripping copper wire: After standing for 1,200 years, St. Peter's Basilica was demolished so that a new cathedral could be built over it. Naturally, the new St. Peter's was built, in part, with stone quarried from the Colosseum -- possibly as a tribute to all those ancient Christians who were never actually fed to lions there.

"No thanks; the whole 'no gluttony' rule tends to make 'em all stringy."
#3. The Renaissance Was Not a Peaceful Era
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
The Myth:
The Renaissance was a whole century of painting, music, cherubs, and ridiculous facial hair. It was the hipster of eras. And nobody's more laid back and peaceful than a hipster just trying to get his art on, right?
Via Wikipedia
The high collar both indicated status and hid any ironic neck tattoos.
The Reality:
While the Renaissance masters adorned cathedrals and created masterpieces, Vlad Dracula decorated pikes with his enemies' heads. He was hardly an exception: England tossed over 100,000 lives into an argument over who should be king. Venice and everything east of it spent a century fighting the Ottoman Empire. Germany lost its collective shit in a knights' revolution, followed by a peasants' revolution -- take the two together, and you end up with enough terror and bloodshed to make the French Revolution seem like a Smurf village.
Srdjan Bedov/Hemera/Getty Images
That's not oil paint.
Starting in 1494, Italy was the site of a series of wars that lasted 60 years and involved every major Western European power. To deal with the increasing frequency, duration, and intensity of all these wars, European leaders began establishing standing armies ... which in turn helped fuel further increases in the frequency, duration, and intensity of all these wars. Prior to 1500, an average army might have had 15,000 soldiers; by the end of the 16th century, armies were over five times larger. It was exactly like the endless military build-up of the Cold War, just with a hairy dude holding a spear instead of a stealth bomber.

BELL COUNTY (January 30, 2013) --- Classroom security is a priority issue for state lawmakers and local districts, as officials consider ways to make schools safer in the wake of the deadly shooting rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and among the options some districts are considering is arming teachers.
On Tuesday the Temple ISD Board of Trustees met to look at what some of the other schools in the area are doing.
The Gatesville and Academy school districts have also looked into security measures including the possibility of arming teachers.
Temple school officials say they won't be taking any immediate steps to arm teachers, but will instead wait to see if lawmakers in Austin provide guidance on the issue.
"We already have trained police officers who are in our schools so we're at a great advantage compared to some of the smaller school districts who don't have that option," TISD Assistant Superintendent for Student Services Scott Moger said.
Several rural districts that lack funding for campus officers and that can't count on the same quick law enforcement response as districts in urban areas have adopted teacher firearm policies including the Harrold ISD and the Union Grove ISD.
Adam Fitzer, who owns Texas Weapon Instructors, said his company will be training teachers in the Jonesboro ISD after the district adopted a policy allowing some teachers to carry guns in classrooms.
"We were involved in initial talks and once they did pass the rule so now we're going to be the company training them and they're not arming every teacher which is a good thing, but they are going to have a group of armed teachers which will be doing continual training over the next year," Fitzer said.
Harrold ISD's firearm policy, called the Guardian Plan, was adopted in 2007.
"Our Guardian Plan is four components and they have to have a (concealed handgun license) and then they're approved by the local school board, the third element is that they have to undergo some extra training, the fourth is they use frangible ammunition; which is ammunition that breaks apart when it hits a hard object so it minimizes ricochet effect," Harrold ISD Superintendent David Thweatt said.
Because the Harrold ISD was the first district to adopt a firearm policy for teachers in Texas, lawmakers are looking at the Guardian Plan for information.
"What I've been talking with the Legislature about is coming up with a standard, a certification process for training on top of concealed handgun to give the districts who want to pass a policy similar to ours some tools to work with so they can send their teachers or their employees off to get that extra training and have a certification process in mind," Thweatt said.
The change in security in schools is one many parents, teachers, and even security experts like Fitzer say they're ready to consider in light of the school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut.
"It was sad and it was wrong and there are things that could have been done to avoid it but we don't live in the same world we did 30 years ago things keep getting worse so things have to change," Fitzer said.

Essential Rules of Parenting: How to Stay Sane
Your sanity isn't only important because you are important, but also because your children need sane parents. And there are just a few Rules that you'll find, after you get the hang of them, help you keep your head when your children are crying theirs off.
(Excerpted from "The Rules of Parenting" by Richard Templar)
1 of 7
So who are the best parents you know? The ones who have a seemingly instinctive ability to say and do the things that result in happy, confident, well-balanced children? Have you ever wondered what makes them so good at it? Now think about the ones you privately think are not capable. Why not?
All the best parents I know have one key thing in common. They're relaxed about it. And all the worst ones are hung up on something. Maybe they're not stressed out about how good they are as parents (perhaps they should be), but they're hung up about something that affects their ability to be a really good parent.
I know a couple of parents who are neurotically clean and tidy. Their children have to take their shoes off at the door or the whole world falls apart -- even if the shoes are clean. They get really uptight if their children leave anything out of place or make any kind of a mess (even if it gets cleaned up later). It makes it impossible for the kids just to relax and enjoy themselves, in case they get grass stains on their pants or knock over the ketchup bottle.
The really good parents I've encountered, on the other hand, expect their children to be noisy, messy, bouncy, squabbly, whiny, and covered in mud. They take it all in stride. They know they've got 18 years to turn these small creatures into respectable grown-ups, and they pace themselves. No rush to get them acting like adults -- they'll get there in good time.

I forget who said it, but I once heard that a model is not really a person on the runway, but more of a living coat hanger. With that in mind, it makes sense that the models must all be rather tall, slender, and roughly the same size and shape to ensure clothing drapes beautifully � the way it was designed. But is there such a thing as too thin for a model?
The countries making the changes are some of the most fashion forward, and it is likely that others will be joining them. In Spain, models must now have a body mass index (BMI) of more than 18.5. This means that they are healthy overall for their height. Underweight models will be banned from the catwalks.
While this regulation might seem a bit silly, or perhaps a long time in coming, it has roots in serious events. A model in Brazil, Ana Carolina Resto, actually died from complications of anorexia. In her desire to stay thin, she brought about her own death. A month before another model, Luisel Ramos, died from heart failure brought on by anorexia. Many of the governments now feel obligated to step in and help put a stop to unhealthy practices on the runway and magazines.
Perhaps over time the standards will change and we'll get to see more models like Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks, and others who are more interested in looking healthy and beautiful than skinny and beautiful. It can only be a change for the better to start admiring those who exercise and eat well rather than making celebrities of those simply not eating at all.

More good news from today is the announcement that Tom Leonard has joined our team as Executive Vice President of Worldwide Business Development. Tom is responsible for formalizing strategic relationships with target accounts across all of Pentaho's channels inclusive of Global 1000 customers, OEM/ISV's, system integrators, and technology alliance partners. With over 25 years of technology sales and executive experience Tom has a lot of insight into the industry. I've asked for him to be the first of many guest bloggers on the Business Intelligence from the Swamp blog. My question to Tom is, "What brought you to Pentaho?" Welcome Tom!
Guest blogger: Tom Leonard
So I wanted to take the opportunity to share my thoughts concerning why I joined the Pentaho team. During my career, I have been fortunate to be part of two venture backed company successes – Bluestone Software and JBoss. For both, I was an early member of the team and witnessed the remarkable journey of each company scale from a small bookings / revenue position to recognition as high-growth, technology / market-share leaders.
Through these experiences (and via some not so successful ventures), I have learned that the key ingredients of a successful early stage company mostly comprises of the following:
- The technology
- The people (that shapes the chemistry / culture of the company)
- The market opportunity
At Pentaho, all of these ingredients are in place (with room to grow and improve of course):
The Technology
Over the years, Richard, James (Dixon) and team have invested mightily in building out a complete BI Suite that is on par with the mega and pure play business intelligence vendors. Pentaho employs the key developers, it owns the product development and roadmap that is supported by a large, vibrant, engaged open source community, and offers the market a fully integrated / interoperable business intelligence suite of products that are enterprise ready, deployed on an industry standard Java-based platform (either on-premise or via a Cloud / SaaS-enabled model), and is widely deployed in production by thousands of companies.
The proof is in the numbers:
- Thousands of organizations rely on Pentaho open source BI every day
- Over 5M downloads of Pentaho products since the inception of the company,
- #1 in open source data integration / ETL according to the BeyeNETWORK research report
- Hundreds of customers that have an active Enterprise Edition subscription with Pentaho.
The People
In my humble opinion, this is the intangible that makes companies great. Often – you do not know until you arrive at the company and see the good and the not so good. At Pentaho and under Richard's leadership – there is an amazing team that are all in-synch to drive the company to its fullest potential, opportunity and success. There is a tremendous level of passion and energy across the company that is fueling our significant growth with end customers and partners worldwide. Further proof that Pentaho is hitting its stride as a company; candidates' industry-wide want to work at Pentaho as evident by the "many" that have joined the team over the past quarter.
The Market Opportunity
The open source business intelligence space is growing at a phenomenal rate – so says Gartner ("Open-Source Business Intelligence Tools Production Deployments Will Grow Five-Fold through 2012")
Not much more that I can add here……
In summary, the company greatly understands the business that we are in, the opportunity before us and we possess the know-how to monetize and scale our business model. We have a proven team that has consistently demonstrated success, both on the BI and open source fronts. Pentaho has great investors, world class Board of Directors (Rob Bearden – JBoss and SpringSource and Zack Urlocker – MySQL), and an executive team that is directing the company to new levels of success each month (Lars Nordwall heading up worldwide sales, building a great team and executing flawlessly, Joe McGonnell working his magic on the marketing front, and Richard, James and team delivering great products).
This is the perfect time to be at Pentaho – if you have not noticed, I am very glad to be a member of the team.

[Washington, DC] -- Ambassador to the United States Prince Bandar bin Sultan today issued the following statement:
"While it seems to be a trend to blame anything and everything on the Saudis, the latest claim that we have inflated oil prices is nonsense. Saudi Arabia has done all that it can to maintain stability in the global oil market and will continue to do so.
"Earlier this year, taking into account the shortages resulting from civil unrest in Nigeria and workers' strikes in Venezuela, and the tense situation in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, at great effort and expense, effected a substantial increase in oil production in order to prevent a disruption to the world's economy. And we were successful. Had it not been for these efforts, the impact of these events on oil prices and on the global economy could have been dramatic.
"On April 24, 2003, OPEC agreed to lower production, effective June 1, but not to pre-Iraq war levels. OPEC production quotas, in fact, are close to one million barrels a day higher than pre-war levels. This move was welcomed by the marketplace and resulted in a further decline in oil prices.
"Saudi Arabia has been, and continues to be, a strong and reliable energy partner. It is wrong to politicize this issue or make the Kingdom a scapegoat in the ongoing debate over energy policies."

There are a number of different wiring scenarios that could lead to this type of behavior, even in a dissociated neuronal cell culture. The two major cases are neurons that are truly isolated from each other, and collections of neurons that connect together. Since your question refers to firing and synchronized bursts, I'll restrict my discussion to the generation of spontaneous action potentials - but keep in mind that not all synaptic communication requires an action potential (the vast majority of internal connections within the retina, for example)
In the case of ensembles neurons in vitro, spontaneous activity is fairly typical. One simple way to get this activity is for a subset of cells in the network to be inherently spontaneously active. In the case of single, isolated neurons, this kind of individual cell spontaneous activity could also result in a single neuron firing spikes in a periodic fashion. So for example purposes, let's explore how a single cell could produce this kind of activity.
Since action potentials are triggered by a sufficiently strong depolarization, we need to identify potential membrane polarizing sources. When dealing with single cells, the major controllers of cell membrane voltage potential are the voltage gated ion channels. When open these channels can cause, depending on their type and cellular/extracellular conditions, either a depolarization or hyperpolarization in the cell. And, most interestingly, whether they are open or not depends on the cell membrane's polarization state.
That makes voltage gated channels excellent at feedback:
Physiologists have thoroughly characterized many of these cells, and they have many more states beyond an "open" and "closed", such as different levels of "inactivated". But we don't need to know about those to answer your question.
The last piece we do need is brownian motion which is the movement of particles due to their bombardment by other particles. This motion can with some frequency cause voltage gated channels to spontaneously open or close, which introduces noise into the system.
As you can imagine, if you have a positive feedback channel that is gated spontaneously, it will make it briefly more likely for other depolarization gated channels to be activated. Positive feedback can quickly lead to a rapid depolarization of the cell, which could be observed as a burst of spikes. If you include a set of slower reacting depolarization gated hyperpolarizing channels, then it's easy to construct a scenario where the cell would depolarize spontaneously with no apparent input, then have a quiescent period where a prolonged hyperpolarization makes it less likely to fire spontaneously.
Voila, bursting in an isolated neuron. Place a set of those neurons in a network and you can get generate a lot of spontaneous activity.

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: November 21, 2001
OncoLink would like to recognize the contribution of the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance (NCCRA) whose initiative with Pharmacia Oncology and Pfizer has made this publication possible.
Volume 1, Issue 2
Fall 2001
A study published in the August 23rd issue of The New England Journal of Medicine supports the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance's (NCCRA) call for colonoscopy to be recognized as the best screening method for colon cancer. The study, conducted at 13 Veterans Affairs medical centers, examined the sensitivity of the nationally recommended screening tests, sigmoidoscopy and fecal occult blood testing (FOBT). A total of 2885 asymptomatic patients, ages 50 to 75 years, performed three FOB tests and then underwent a complete colonoscopy. Researchers noted what would have been found on sigmoidoscopy, as well as what would have been missed with this exam.
The study found that screening with both FOBT and sigmoidoscopy identified only 76% of the advanced neoplasms present in the study population. Another 24%, discovered with colonoscopy, would have been missed with traditional screening methods.
In response to these findings, NCCRA co-founder Katie Couric released this statement: "Our message has always been that colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening, and this research supports that fact. Knowledge about the disease and your own personal risk is the best tool in the fight against colon cancer. But, finding polyps and removing them isn't the end of the battle-continuing education is a key component in the fight."
The NCCRA is dedicated to the eradication of colon cancer through education, fundraising, research, and early medical screening. Research supported by the NCCRA is looking at the prevention of colon cancer. Areas being studied include finding appropriate genetic markers to identify high risk populations and the use of aspirin like compounds to prevent the formation of polyps. To learn more about colorectal cancer or ongoing studies, call the NCCRA clinical trials resource center at 1-866-724-4100.
The NCCRA/OncoLink registry has now been accessible online or via the clinical trials call center since March of this year. As of September 1st, 1137 surveys have been completed. Of these, 89% were completed online at OncoLink.
Researchers at Case Western University and Pharmacia have begun contacting people who meet the criteria for their clinical trials. Case Western researchers are looking at families with a history of early-onset breast and colon cancer. Pharmacia is conducting prevention trials utilizing aspirin like compounds.
Potential participants can help by taking the confidential survey, which was developed by cancer experts as an interactive way to help NCCRA scientists study families with a history of colorectal cancer. After completing the survey, the information is entered into a national registry. NCCRA scientists will use the information to determine eligibility for clinical trials investigating prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. If eligible, participants will be contacted directly by NCCRA research scientists.
The registry survey can be completed by calling the NCCRA Clinical Trials Resource Center at 1-866-724-4100 or complete the survey online.
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Virtual colonoscopy is currently being developed. It is a series of ultra thin CT scan images that are stacked by a computer and then the large intestine is isolated. It is currently investigational, as the early data from a few centers has suggested that it may be nearly as effective in their hands as conventional colonoscopy. It is time consuming since it may involve 100 to 250 CT slices, and the images need to be manipulated after they are obtained. In institutions that do these studies, the patients currently undergo conventional colonoscopy as well to determine the accuracy of the virtual study. All of the centers doing the study have shown that there is a very steep learning curve. The test is least sensitive in detecting villous adenomas, and they are the polyps most likely to contain cancers. It is still necessary to take the bowel prep; only it needs to be more effective than is needed for colonoscopy. Also, due to its experimental nature, insurance companies may not currently reimburse the procedure.
Barbara Barrie is an accomplished actress who received an Academy Award nomination for best actress in Breaking Away and a Tony nomination for her role in Companion. She also starred in the television comedy Barney Miller and the current hit show Suddenly Susan. Barbara Barrie began writing Don't Die of Embarrassment after she was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 1994 while acting in the television mini-series Scarlett.
Don't Die of Embarrassment takes the reader through Barbara's journey of symptoms, diagnosis, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and life with a colostomy. It is a candid view of experiences with her family, friends, and the medical profession. The ups and downs of living with a colostomy are discussed from a very personal viewpoint. The book helps the reader to understand the emotional roller coaster cancer patients' experience. It is an excellent book for the medical professional dealing with cancer in any capacity. The book addresses some of the verbal and nonverbal cues' patients pick up from medical professionals that can cause substantial anxiety.
The book is well written, touching, and witty. Not only those people diagnosed with colorectal cancer will benefit from this book, but anyone who has friends or family with colorectal cancer or a colostomy. It is highly recommended by Oncolink.
For Dr. Sandford Markowitz, Ingalls Professor of Cancer Genetics at University Hospitals of Cleveland and Case Western Reserve University and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute researcher, the greatest benefit of being part of the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance is the efficiency with which he has been able to locate families with a history of colorectal cancer for his research. Before Katie Couric and Lilly Tartikoff's NCCRA came along, he said, this was "very, very difficult to do."
"One investigator could never accomplish the same level of participation by placing ads or recruiting patients locally," Markowitz said. "Getting assistance from such a national organization to reach a broad national audience-well, you just can't buy that."
In fact, the 250 families now taking part in Dr. Markowitz's "Parent and Sibling Genetic Risk Study"-a study of individuals with two immediate relatives who have had colon cancer or precancerous polpys-were identified as a result of Katie Couric's initial broadcast of the NCCRA's toll-free phone number during the Today show. That broadcast generated as many as 5,000 to 6,000 phone calls from people who were interested in participating, he noted.
This current work is focusing on finding the genetic factors that put some families at higher risk for developing colon cancer. Dr. Markowitz noted that these are not families with the well-established syndromes such as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) and Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC), in which the lifetime risk of developing colon cancer can be as high as 80 or 90 percent. Instead, he's now concerned with families in which fewer people are developing colon cancer. Even having just one or two immediate relatives who develop the disease or its precursor, colorectal polyps, has been shown to increase a person's lifetime risk.
"We know there is a substantial familial component with this disease," said Dr. Markowitz. "So, we're trying to identify what's going on in these families, and trying to figure out what genetic clues can tell us about risk and who we need to focus on"-besides those families with the more obvious syndromes such as HNPCC and FAP, which involve what Dr. Markowitz called "highly penetrant" genes.
"What we're looking for are genes that are more 'normal' to everyday life," he added. "These are probably more important on a population basis, and ones that tend to work on folks who are a little bit older."
Markowitz and his team are now examining different genes in these individuals to determine which may play a critical role in colon cancer formation. Recently, they won the privilege of having samples analyzed at the National Institutes of Health Center for Inherited Disease Research, which possesses automated gene analysis machines. The equipment makes it possible to look at 300 areas of the gene sequence all at once, which should greatly accelerate the pace of this work.
Finding the genes that are involved can serve many purposes. First, said Markowitz, you can figure out who is at risk for genetic reasons so that they can modify their lives accordingly, such as by having more frequent screenings. Furthermore, the gene might be able to help you find new targets for treatment and even for prevention, if it suggests that environmental or lifestyle factors, such as too much fat in the diet, are also involved.
As indicated on the NCCRA Web site, Markowitz and his colleagues are still seeking people with two immediate relatives (a parent, a child or a sibling) who have had colon cancer, with one of those two immediate relatives being under the age of 65. They are also looking for patients with one immediate relative (a parent, a child, or a sibling) who has had colon cancer and was less than 50 years of age when they were diagnosed with the disease. He and NCCRA colleague Dr. Bert Vogelstein, who is involved in similar research, screen all questionnaires submitted in order to find families who meet this criteria.
Markowitz said that he sees this research as a natural progression of work he has already done to better understand the genetics of colon cancer. For example, he and his colleagues have already discovered that two key pathways-one that governs cell growth and the other that maintains the integrity of colon cell DNA-are often inactivated in people who develop colon cancer. They found that a breakdown in the DNA mismatch repair mechanism played an important role not only in cancers related to the HNPCC family syndrome, but also in a portion of sporadic cancers (those without an obvious familial component) in the general population. They also found that, in many of these repair-deficient cancers, a genetic mutation interferes with the shedding of cells that line the colon that would normally take place.
Dr. Markowitz said he is hopeful that all of his work will move toward clinical applications. Ultimately, he would like to find a way to use these and other genetic clues to develop a much simpler screening test, ideally a blood test, for colorectal cancer.
Like the participants in his research, he knows firsthand the impact that colon cancer can have on a family. His own father was diagnosed while Markowitz was completing his training as an oncologist, and this helped propel him to become part of the effort to better understand the disease.
"Certainly this is a disease I would like to make an impact in," he said. "I appreciate the responsibility I've been given by organizations like the NCCRA and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and I plan to honor it."

Let $G$ be a discrete group and $A$ an abelian group, then $H^n (G,A)$ can be defined as $$ H^n (G,A) = H^n (B_G, A)$$ Where $B_G$ is the classifying space of $G$, i.e. $B_G = E_G / G$ where $E_G$ is a contractible space on which $G$ acts s.t. $\pi_1 (B_G) = G$.
Now say you have an action of $G$ on a simplicial complex $Y$ and that the action is simplicial, cocompact and free, but $Y$ is not necessarily contractible. Say you know that (for some fixed $n$) $H^n (Y / G,A) = 0$ can you deduce that $H^n (G,A) = 0$?
(I've tried to ask this question a couple of days ago, but my formulation was bad so I had to delete and re-ask)

FORE! The village of Shadyside does not have a country club nor golf course. But that may be tough to tell if you didn't know better....
If one of these carts gets in front of me and not doing proper speed limit i will just run them over. As for central avenue west side people who have carts are not supposed to cross over to east. The same goes for east going to west. This is what village officials have been telling people

How to make the transition between clips - like a white flash?
Wed, 04/17/2013 - 15:31
Try a white colour clip with two disolve transitions - see screen shot
Wed, 04/17/2013 - 18:54
Do you have Frei0r installed? Where did you get 0.9.6? What distro?
Have you found the small green dot highlight on a clip to pull down a transition? **EDIT** Doh! Should be green triangle to RH bottom corner of a clip, not the green circle.
Have you read even basic documentation?
Wed, 04/17/2013 - 21:22
Probably the best approach is to add sunabs kdenlive PPA for 12.10 to your repositories, you can do that via Synaptic which may not be installed by default with 12.10, but you can get synaptic through the software center. You may be able to add sunabs PPA via software center but I always use synaptic for such things.
Add the PPA will give you all you need, kdenlive, MLT and Frei0r etc. Dissolve is missing because Frei0r is and although Frei0r is available in your 12.10 repos, it may not be upto date, so sunabs PPA's are better to install from.
Don't have the link but a quick google will find it for you.
Then you'll be able to add a dissolve, one way is to grab the green (**EDIT** Triangle NOT Dot) and pull down to create the transitions like ttguy has illustrated, if you've done that on your older version on the laptop and it's not what you want then you'll have to describe the effect you want in more detail.
Wed, 04/17/2013 - 23:30
I made a mistake earlier suggesting the green dot of coarse it should be the green triangle bottom right corner of a clip to pull down to create transition, my bad. But perhaps look at the 'Glow' effect it's keyframeable to get the ramped up burn out just at the end of the clip and then a simple transition if needed between the burn out and next clip.

Ok, care to share how you did it? :-)

Bacterial are a great group of organisms. They have circular genomes and never went toward linear genomes while other organisms show the opposite strategy and don't have circular genomes (disregarding their cytoplasmic genome). Why they have followed these different strategies?
You can package linear genomes much more efficiently than circular genomes, and bacteria simply don't require the information density to be prosperous.
To be a bit more specific, it's the torque strain put on the double-helix while it's being wound that makes the difference. Linear genomes can be wound around Histones, and these Histones can be further formed into more complex and dense patterns so that the DNA of a linear genome is condensed to a mere fraction of the size it was before. The high density allows cell division to occur much, much easier than it would otherwise happen in Eukaryotic cells.
Circular genomes cannot get rid of the torque stresses like linear genomes can. To attempt a similar packaging scheme as Eukaryotic cells would result in the DNA breaking apart at some point before you reached a high level of information density.
I'll look through my BioChem books again to find a reference later on, but hopefully you should have a solid idea of "why" from the above. For now you can do a little thought experiment: Think of all the ways you can wind a single piece of string or thread around things to make it as dense as possible. Then think of all the ways you can try to achieve the same density with a rubber band without breaking it. The string should win out in both the ease at which you can manipulate it, and the level of density you can achieve.

I've had two companies give their sales pitch on vinyl windows and doors. One has a foam core inside the vinyl frame, the other does not. One says the foam core helps insulate, the other says the foam core promotes mold growth.
Who is right? What are the pros and cons of a foam core in vinyl windows and doors?

Can anyone suggest a good overview/introduction of the Floer machine for a beginner? (Someone pointed out some intriguing connections to surface mapping class groups, which might be enough incentive to dip the toe in (though I suppose "total immersion" might be the only realistic option...)
Dietmar Salamon's notes are my favorite:
Also I should point out that the geometric intuition provided by Andreas Floer in some of his early papers is really quite beautiful and illuminating. For example read the introduction to his 1989 paper, Symplectic Fixed Points and Holomorphic Spheres, in Comm. Math. Phys (120) 575-611.
For the grittier details it's better to look in something like Dietmar's notes or the big book of J-holomorphic curves.
I wholeheartedly agree with both of Chris Gerig's suggestions.
The small McDuff-Salamon book on holomorphic curves ("J-holomorphic curves and quantum cohomology", available on McDuff's webpage) has a small chapter on Floer homology. The ideas in the rest of the book are also useful for Floer theory.
Audin and Damian have an introductory book called "Théorie de Morse et homologie de Floer". I haven't read it, but I hear good things about it.
If you're going for total immersion, a good place to start is with Seidel's early papers (e.g. arXiv:math/0105186, arXiv:math/9803083, arXiv:math/0309012) where you learn by watching him do things.
Michael Hutchings' lecture notes were precisely for this purpose; posted on his webpage: http://math.berkeley.edu/~hutching/
Lecture Notes on Morse Homology (With an Eye Towards Floer Theory and Pseudoholomorphic Curves)
A very good place is Kronheimer and Mrowka's monograph on monopole homology. Chapter 1 goes through the finite dimensional part.
I can vouch for Audin-Damian's Theorie de Morse et Homologie de Floer, read it cover to cover for my quals. They do Hamiltonian Floer theory with simplifying assumptions ($\omega$ and $c_1$ vanish on $\pi_2$ so there's no need to worry about bubbling, grading issues or caps, which one can learn from Dietmar's notes). They prove everything and provide intuition all along. The most technical estimates used for gluing are grouped into a Chapter that one can skip without loss of understanding. It also does Morse theory as a warm-up.

Liveline Monday 18 November 2013
Pat was eight years old living n Phoenix Arizona. She went to school on the 22nd November 1962 as usual…her teacher walked into the classroom and started crying. She told them that President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated. They were sent home from school. That memory has stayed with her all her life. Pat was one of many Liveline listeners recalling where they were on the day the news broke about his death.
Five Friday is taking place 6th December 2013. Noel Gavin from Killeen Golf Club and Joe Prendergast from Bargaintown tell us what they have on offer for a fiver on the day.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
The director of Georgia's Wildlife Resources Division is helping lead the organization that represents fish and wildlife agencies across North America.
Dan Forster was named president of the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies during the association's annual meeting in Portland this week.
Forster, a Georgia native, has served as Wildlife Resources Division director for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources since 2004. The division is charged with conserving, enhancing and promoting wildlife resources in the state.
The Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies' governing board is made up of fish and wildlife agency directors from state and provincial governments including all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canada and Mexico. Dating to 1902, the association advances science-based management and conservation of fish and wildlife and their habitats in the public's interest.
Forster has served the association in a number of leadership roles. He immediately begins a one-year term as president.
"It has been extremely rewarding working with my professional colleagues from across the continent on a variety of wildlife conservation issues critical to Georgia, and I am humbled by their confidence in my leadership at this important time," Forster said.
The association's role varies from representing state agencies on Capitol Hill to providing members coordination services on species-based programs, while also working closely with a variety of federal agency and industry partners and national conservation organizations including the National Wild Turkey Federation, Ducks Unlimited, Quail Forever, the National Rifle Association and others. These efforts are based on the North American Model of Conservation, the world's most successful system of policies and laws to restore and safeguard fish, wildlife and their habitats through science and management.
As Wildlife Resources director, Forster provides leadership and policy directives for an agency responsible for hunting opportunities on more than 1 million acres of public land, plus management of 110 wildlife management areas, 10 public fishing areas and seven regional education centers. Hunting, fishing, boating and wildlife watching include millions of Georgians and sport a multi-billion-dollar economic impact on the state.
Forster, a certified wildlife biologist and University of Georgia graduate with a Master's in wildlife biology, began work with the Wildlife Resources Division on the Georgia coast in 1990. He and his wife, Jennifer, and their two children live in Social Circle.

Stack Overflow should provide users the option of using a dark site design/theme. Why is this feature missing? The major IDEs are already a letdown regarding dark color schemes.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
I think this is a great suggestion. ProjectEuler.net has implemented this effectively, naming it Lights On / Off.
If you're using Gnu/Linux and have compiz installed, you can always invert the colors of your active window (look for "Negative" in the CompizConfig Settings Manager).
Without compiz there is an alternative solution via
Or you can use stylish which is avaiable for Firefox and Chrome and look into userstyles.
It's how I circumvent this strange so-white-I-bleach-your-eyes-out-background-dogma that's cursing the interwebs.
But anyhow: Yeah, a supported dark theme would rock.
I see a couple problems with doing this.
First, there currently is no way to change to any different theme on a per-user basis. So that's something that would have to be implemented. I don't think it would be all that difficult, really, but still that's an non-trivial amount of work.
Second, the themes would have to be populated. Who will create these themes? Will they be user submitted? If so who would approve them? Would there be safety potential concerns? (I'm not a front end guy, so I don't know, could someone put 'bad things' in a css?) If it's internal would this the next intern's project or something?
Third, the themes would have to be maintained. When there's a formatting problem, we'll have to ask "What browser, what SE build, oh and what theme?" It's another piece of the puzzle that would just complicate things.
Now, who doesn't like the idea of customization? I think it's great when there's multiple themes. Stack Overflow has so much orange I feel like it's Halloween all year round!! But honestly, I think the costs far far FAR outweigh be benefits we would receive from a feature like this.
It's possible to have alternate CSS themes for sites — it's even common to have alternate themes designed specifically to support printing — and browsers often (always? I dunno) have an built-in mechanism for selecting between the themes at the user's request. I certainly remember using this with Firefox on a number of sites, but haven't tried for a while to be honest. However, that doesn't mean that it is necessarily a wise thing to do. In particular, the alternate theme would need to be developed and maintained; surely that developer effort would be better spent elsewhere?
If you really want your own style, force your own stylesheet that overrides key things like colors (you probably want to leave the layout the same though). I'm sure that's possible, and it puts the cost of maintenance squarely on those who really care (i.e., you).
Came here and realised that this still isn't a thing! You can use Stylish to either create your own dark theme or there are a number of dark themes available (I don't think they're that great but I prefer a slightly broken dark theme to the current white theme).
Would definitely prefer it to be officially supported, but this is a workaround if you're desperate!


text: This is a shading tutorial, the second part of "How to draw a Zergling from Starcraft" This will show you how to shade a line drawing. You can use the techniques shown on other line drawings you may have, if you did not see the tutorial on drawing the Zergling from scratch. I will go over the steps I take for shading a drawing and will give tips along the way. I would suggest using 3B to 5B pencils, an eraser, a sharpener and some tortillion or tissue paper. I will show how to decide on where the shadows and highlights will be on your drawing.

Not exactly, you have to think about your web services written in PHP as completely separate from your Sencha app. You server-side PHP code will be located in it's own area on your server (wherever you host your web services) and they are only exposed through the web service themselves (think of them being on a different server than your Senha app). So you don't mix in your server-side PHP with Sencha at all, they are completely separate. Typically the tools used to create web services allow you to generate a manual access web page which lists your web services and allow you to manually call them with parameters and see the results right from your browser. This is a great way to check that the web service really works if you are having problems calling it from your Sencha app. This is also a great way to work if for example you have someone else write the web services on the server - they simply provide you with the manual access page for your browser and from that you have everything you need - the URL of the web service, the parameters, the results, and you can even try it with real data.
The one thing you need to be careful of is your domains - try and have your Senbcha app and your web service hosted from the same domain. If they are different then you can still access cross-domain using a JSONP store but you are limited to GET (no POSTs) so not that secure and certainly not good for something like a login. Also you can run into problems with mobile, the iPhone for example has the default cookies set to "From visited" which means that if your Sencha app is hosted on a different domain than your web service and you want to use POST then it won't be able to access them until you first browse to the web service URL manually - not very practical for your users. Using a JSONP store gets around this which is why you will see it used to access public web service like twitter because they are on a different domain than your Sencha app, but it is not very secure.
4 Jan 2013 9:48 AM #12
To follow up on this a little more. Think of your PHP code as completely separate and it's own self-contained thing. It is located on your server in it's own area and accesses the MySQL data base there. Your PHP code then exposes the data it wants through web services which may be quite different than how you have organized the data in your database. The web services can be consumed by anything - a Flex app, and ASP.NET app, a Senha app - it does not matte to the server.
Your Sencha app only communicates with the server wbn services, it doesn't know anything about your database MySQL or even your code on the server, it doesn't even know what you data you have in your database, or even what technology you are using to provide the web serves - it could be JAVA code from a Linux server or ASP.NET from a Windows server where each are using totally different database technologies. It does not matter to your Sechna app - all it does is accesses data through web services. So when it comes to defining the fileds in your model for your store, you will only be defining the fields returned from the web service, not anything you may have in your database.
4 Jan 2013 10:09 AM #13
this time....i haven't understood (please could you use another word for web service?)
4 Jan 2013 11:24 AM #14
Yes, a web service is basically a function to get data that you can call across the Internet. All development platforms allow you to write web services and is it is the de facto way software is written today. Google, Twitter, Yelp, Yahoo, Flicker, Amazon, eBay, Facebook... - all written with web services and all you can access from your own application. Literally all corporate software is now written this way too so the data can be shared with their partners using different systems and technology. For example, you can search Amazon for mobiles phones of a certain price range and get the results of pricing, description, and even images if you like and present them in your application all transparently to the user. Google the words "web services" and you will get a lot of good explanations. So, for your program you would write web services on the server side to provide the data your Sencha app needs and then you call these web services (similar to how you would call a function) from your Sencha app and get the results you need.

The Meiri Berachot 21 (Peri Hadash, Keneset HaGedola and others) writes that in a case of Safek Deorayta Lehumra where one isn't certain after performing the action that he has fulfulled his obligation (i.e. Techelet) he still must perform the action. I know the Bet HaLevi argues with this. Who else is on the Bet HaLevi's side (if anyone)?

I found these guys on eBay.ca and they are CHEAP. I was searching 'Hot Mirror Filter" when they popped up in the 'STORES' results. Considering the IR filter is really only worth a few bucks, their service sounds a lot more reasonable than outfits like MaxMax or LifePixel. I see they have priced some (more difficult) models much higher, but still terribly cheap.
I haven't looked any father into them, nor have I seen any 'testimonials'. Considering they have been in business for a few years already, I wonder why they have gone so CHEAP, and if it will succeed?
Here's a quote from their auction:
WHAT IS ON SALE HERE IS A SERVICE THROUGH WHICH WE CONVERT AND MODIFY YOUR CANON DIGITAL CAMERA TO INFRARED. This custom manufactured high quality glass infrared filter is a drop in replacement for the original hot mirror filter. The response characteristics are similar to the R72 and 89b filters but is specifically designed to be used internally. After the conversion you will not need any filters in front of the lens and the camera will be just as sensitive to infrared as it was to visible light. This means you can hand hold and compose as normal. All filters are inspected to be free from scratches and other defects If defective please contact us immediately for exchange. All repairs and modifications are done at the owner's risk. Pro Photo Repair 7910 Raytheon Rd., San Diego, CA 92111 Tel. (85 277-3700 Fax.
