Nutritional Health for Women
The Glycemic Index
Glycemic index, or GI, is an index given to mostly carbohydrate foods based on how quickly they raise blood sugar levels. The index is a number from 0 to 100; the higher the number, the quicker the food reaches the bloodstream as glucose. Sugar has the highest glycemic index (100); soybean one of the lowest (18). Foods with a high glycemic index are often processed, starchy, and sugary foods, although some natural foods, such as honey and watermelon, have high indexes. Foods that contain fat or fiber along with the sugar have lower indexes because the fat and fiber slow the release of glucose. Athletes in particular can use the glycemic index of foods to determine which types of carbohydrates provide the best fuel before and during events and training. High glycemic index food products such as GU or Cliff Shotz or drinks such as Gatorload or Endurox provide quick sources of energy and are useful in long endurance events in which the body has depleted its glycogen supply. High glycemic index carbohydrates need to be eaten frequently during endurance events lasting more than two hours to maintain blood glucose levels and provide energy. Before competition, low to medium glycemic index foods are recommended to promote steady blood glucose over the next one to two hours.
Research has recently suggested that people who regularly eat high glycemic index diets have a greater risk of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease due to a tidal wave of high and low blood sugar levels. High GI foods send a sudden flood of glucose into the blood, which causes the pancreas to release a large amount of insulin, the hormone that transfers blood glucose from the blood and into storage as glycogen or fat. The amount of insulin released corresponds to the amount of blood glucose; high levels of both glucose and insulin can be dangerous to body organs and increase the risk of diabetes. Also, there is a rebound of low blood sugar, which can cause sleepiness, moodiness, irritability, and, in diabetics, coma. Hunger is felt again sooner after high glycemic index foods are eaten due to this low blood sugar.
In contrast, low and medium glycemic index foods cause a slow release of glucose into the bloodstream. Normal amounts of glucose circulate and low amounts of insulin are released in a steady stream. This keeps blood glucose levels stable and protects the body and brain from the dangerous effects of unstable blood sugars. Mood is also stabilized, as brain glucose supplies are constant. In people at risk of diabetes, with a family history or a history of (gestational) diabetes in pregnancy, eating a low to moderate glycemic index diet will reduce the risk of developing diabetes later in life.

A high-fiber diet has been recognized for years for its health benefits. Dietary fiber content is very important to long-term health. In fact, it has been identified as a necessary diet nutrient by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Fiber is a natural plant product that helps slow digestion, lowering glycemic indexes of foods. Fiber has also been identified for its many health prevention benefits, particularly reduced risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, heart disease, constipation, diverticulosis, stroke, hypertension, and obesity.
The Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for fiber, based on a 2,000-calorie diet, is 25 grams/day. This should be your minimum. Because large amounts of fiber, especially if your digestive system is not used to it, can cause bloating, stomach upset, and diarrhea, increasing the overall amount of fiber in your diet should be done gradually with fiber distributed evenly throughout meals and snacks. Products such as Beano can help with gas and bloating if that is a problem. Eating various sources of fiber dailysuch as popcorn, fresh and dried fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and whole grains is also recommended. You should also drink plenty of water with fiber, because this will make your stomach feel full for longer. Because of the cleansing effect fiber has on the digestive tract and bowels, avoid high-fiber products the night before, morning of, and during events, unless your body is used to a high-fiber diet.
The Health Benefits of a High-Fiber Diet
- Decreases breast cancer
- Decreases colon cancer
- Decreases cholesterol
- Prevents and manages diabetes
- Prevents heart disease
- Prevents constipation
- Prevents diverticulosis
- Helps prevent stroke
- Prevents high blood pressure
- Helps prevent obesity
- Helps you feel full longer

One additional issue appears in the answer by kguler and motivated Sjoerd's answer (both of which are fine so I upvoted them of course): it's the question of how to plot these data dependent plot markers and then also draw a line through the data.
The answer is actually very simple - and that also means kguler's answer can be used this way: just combine the

For those who have ball heads and do other types of photography in addition to panoramas, I was wondering what is the best/easiest arrangement (with respect to quick release systems, etc). In my mind I'm trying to figure out how all the components would go together. For example, if I attach the NN to my ball head's quick release plate, and then attach the NN quick release plate to my camera, if I want to do some standard photography it seems I'd have to take off both quick release plates and reverse them. What are some good ways of working around this?
Thank you,

I am working with Rackspace (but this applies to any good host provider) to configure a Red Hat Linux web and database server. Both machines are dedicated to us and managed by Rackspace. Rackspace asked if we wanted Sophos antivirus on our machines for a small monthly fee.
Would you install and pay for antivirus on a web and database server? Why would I want antivirus on these machines? What are the pros/cons?

I had been playing through this quest and accused the court wizard of the murders in Windhelm. I went to see him in prison and he told me to look for the real killer at night. I ran frantically around the city but couldn't catch up to the arrow indicator on the map. I did find a dead body though and no one seems to want to acknowledge that it is there. Everyone just walks past it. So, I went to my house and found the real murderer inside, trying to find his bloody altar. I can hit him until he falls to his knees but he gets back up and carries on. If I try to hit him more after he goes down, guards come into my house and start attacking me! I have no conversation options with the Jarl or his steward to tell them the real killer is in my house. How can I complete this quest?
I don't know if there are more ways to complete this, but I waited in the area until the right time and like you couldn't find anything.
I then walked right outside the area and heard a scream and a new arrow popped up leading me to the market.
If you're fast enough, you should be able to find the murderer there trying to kill a woman and you'll be able to stop him.

It's complicated -- I'd say that the PML is probably among the most complicated sections of Open MPI because it is the main "engine" that enforces the MPI point-to-point semantics. The algorithm is fairly well distribute throughout the PML source code. :-\
> 2.There are five components :cm,crcpw ,csum ,ob1,V in the pml framework . The function of these components?
cm: this component drives the MTL point-to-point components. It is mainly a thin wrapper for network transports that provide their own MPI-like matching semantics. Hence, most of the MPI semantics are effectively done in the lower layer (i.e., in the MTL components and their dependent libraries). You probably won't be able to do much here, because such transports (MX, Portals, etc.) do most of their semantics in the network layer -- not in Open MPI. If you have a matching network layer, this is the PML that you probably use (MX, Portals, PSM).
crcpw: this is a fork of the ob1 PML; it add some failover semantics.
csum: this is also a fork of the ob1 PML; it adds checksumming semantics (so you can tell if the underlying transport had an error).
v: this PML uses logging and replay to effect some level of fault tolerance. It's a distant fork of the ob1 PML, but has quite a few significant differences.
ob1: this is the "main" PML that most users use (TCP, shared memory, OpenFabrics, etc.). It gangs together one or more BTLs to send/receive messages across individual network transports. Hence, it supports true multi-device/multi-rail algorithms. The BML (BTL multiplexing layer) is a thin management later that marshals all the BTLs in the process together -- it's mainly array handling, etc. The ob1 PML is the one that decides multi-rail/device splitting, etc. The INRIA folks just published a paper last week at Euro MPI about adjusting the ob1 scheduling algorithm to also take NUMA/NUNA/NUIOA effects into account, not just raw bandwidth calculations.
Hope this helps!

5 Species That Seem to be Trying to Take over the Earth
#2. Dolphins are Massing Their Troops for... Something
If you responded to the idea of a dolphin onslaught by clapping your hands together and squealing "more aquatic hugs for everybody!" then you have a shocking revelation coming: dolphins are jerks.
As we have pointed out previously, dolphins are one of the few species on earth that appears to kill purely for fun. Gangs of males sometimes even kidnap and hold captive females for months on end, and dolphin attacks on humans are not at all uncommon.
Basically, we only think they're cute and friendly because their perpetually smirking expression makes them look like marginally retarded sharks and we just want to see the lil' fellas do their best.
What is new about dolphins, however, is that suddenly they've started forming "superpods," grouping by the thousand in places never before seen:
Yes, these graceful animals tattooed on roughly half the ankles of the mall-skank population are, in fact, child-murdering gang-rapists with a hunger for human flesh. And now they're gathering in armies that stretch over a mile long and number in the tens of thousands.
And just exactly what are you supposed to do when confronted with one solid mile of what are essentially the ocean's most playful Viking hordes? How do you survive that? Play dead? Swim? Politely ask them to balance colorful balls on their noses? No, your most likely option is to simply get raped and die. But hey, if you stay out of the ocean you should be fine, unless...
Good God, the prophecy is true!
#1. Kudzu Vines will Strangle All of Us in Our Sleep
Right now, huge chunks of the Southeastern U.S. pretty much look like the above picture. That stuff that makes it look like God threw a big leafy blanket over everything, is the Kudzu vine.
It dominates the landscape because it is simply the best at what it does, and what it does is grow. Seriously, at a rate of about a foot a day it's like watching time-lapse in real life. Go on vacation for a week, and when you come back you'll find this shit has eaten your car.
They've given Kudzu the nickname "the vine that ate the South." Nicknames are typically shorter than the original name, but considering as how the South is breathing plants instead of air right now, we'll cut them some slack on that one.
And that's not to say it's limited to the South: although it isn't supposed to be able to survive sub-zero weather, new "pods" of Kudzu have even been discovered as far north as New Jersey and Oregon. And as usual, scientists don't know how or why this is happening, but we sincerely hope they're having fun documenting the mating habits of slime molds (or whatever it is they're spending their research time on) while Mother Nature is growing herself a race of giant plant-men who attack our power lines with their enormous golf clubs.
But there is hope! Unlike the rest of the entries on this list, someone is actually doing something about the Kudzu. In a rare show of common sense by the local government, the city of Chattanooga has successfully controlled an outbreak of Kudzu by releasing goats and llamas into their wilds to graze on it. However, presumably unsatisfied with the level of insanity present in this plan, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is instead proposing a more pants-shittingly crazy idea for national containment: they want to introduce a dead fungus called Myrothecium Verrucaria into the environment to combat the intrusion of Kudzu instead.
To recap: rather than let the existing livestock simply eat the offending species, USDA scientists are advocating the release of zombie mushrooms to battle the killer vines. Who the fuck is at the head of the USDA? Poison Ivy?
Then again, maybe they just wanted to avert having massive herds of wild goats overrunning the landscape 10 years from now.

Neither star has been in the first XI of late, but the 67-year-old has insisted that he has no intention of letting them walk back into the first teamBayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has stressed that players such as Arjen Robben and Mario Gomez will have to accept that they are no longer undisputed starters.
Both attackers have lost their berths after lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injury, and the 67-year-old has no intention to make changes to his starting XI any time soon.
"All of them could play, all of them are totally motivated in training. We don't just have 11 first-teamers, we have 20 good players," he was quoted as saying on the club's official website.
"I'm delighted with our strength in depth. It's obviously a shame that I can't play all the good players we have, but the players have to accept it. Victories are the priority.
"I won't be making many changes at the moment. The team has to come together as a unit, and we have to keep winning. I refuse to take risks in the circumstances."
Bayern sit first in the Bundesliga table with 48 point from 19 games.

Renal cell carcinoma is a very rare, but lethal disease. It affects roughly 30,000 people each year, 40% of whom will eventually die of their disease. The most prominent risk factor is smoking, although many non-smokers get diagnosed with this disease. Some occupational exposures have been linked to the development of kidney cancer. Such compounds as asbestos, cadmium, and petroleum by-products have been found to be associated with renal cell carcinoma. More recently, obesity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of kidney cancer, although the mechanism is not exactly understood. Certain patients who have diseases such as polycystic kidney disease or chronic kidney failure are at higher risk for developing kidney cancer. Some recent data showed that prolonged use of analgesics, especially those containing aspirin, is associated with the development of this cancer as well. Finally, genetics does play a big role in kidney cancer, especially among those who get diagnosed under the age of 30.
Most often doctors talk about kidney cancer presenting with the "classic triad" of flank pain, bloody urine, and an abdominal mass that may be palpable on physical examination. However, kidney cancer is also dubbed "the internists' disease", in that it has a reputation for presenting in very unusual, atypical, and often seemingly innocuous ways. If kidney cancer is suspected, some sort of imaging study such as an ultrasound, a CT scan, or an MRI is imperative. A biopsy is the only way to confirm the presence of a cancer. The stage of the disease must then be ascertained. Kidney cancer that has spread beyond the kidney carries a worse prognosis than disease that is limited to the kidney itself. When possible, surgery is offered to the patient as it offers the best chance for cure. Surgery can consist of removal of the kidney, and, in some instances, includes removal of any isolated metastasis that may be surgically accessible. Cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation may be offered to patients who cannot tolerate surgery for medical reasons. The role of chemotherapy and immunotherapy have traditionally been frustratingly unsuccessful in the treatment of this tumor. Recently, however, kidney cancer has made the headlines with a New England Journal of Medicine article touting the use of Bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech) in this disease. The future is looking brighter for this traditionally difficult to treat disease.
OncoLink is honored to obtain the latest insight by a discussion with one of the world's leading experts in this cancer. Dr. Kimryn Rathmell trained at Stanford, University of Chicago, and the University of Pennsylvania. She is now on faculty at University of North Carolina and provides us with her unique expert perspective. She treats exclusively kidney cancer patients and directs her own laboratory that is looking at the pathogenesis of kidney cancer.
OncoLink: What is known about the way renal cell carcinoma (RCCa) develops, grows, and spreads?
Dr. Rathmell: This is a very complex question and touches on the molecular, cellular, and systemic aspects of this disease. However, in answering we can overview many of the difficult issues associated with this cancer. RCCa occurs as a result of a series of genetic changes or mutations in the DNA of cells derived from the kidney. The gene that is most commonly mutated in this cancer is called the von Hippel Lindau (VHL) gene and it is very well studied. This is named for a familial syndrome in which affected family members are at a very high risk for developing RCCa. More sophisticated studies of RCCa's have shown that in addition to mutations in VHL (an average of five) are required for a cancer to develop. Many carcinogens have a link to RCCa including smoking and an occupational exposure to bromine. Two of the more intriguing associations with RCCa are the significant ties with kidney disease / long term hemodialysis use, and suppression of the immune system. RCCa tumors often contain a mixture of cystic and solid tissues. RCCa may develop from benign cysts, although, kidney cysts are fairly common and RCCa is relatively rare. RCCa growth is very hard to characterize and can range from indolent growth (slow tumor doubling time) to an explosive progression of cancer. A given individual will not know the pace of the growth of their disease until some time has passed and objective evaluation (by CT scan or MRI) is possible. Unfortunately, even in a single patient, the growth characteristics can change without warning, so vigilant observation is necessary even for those patients that appear to have very slowly growing disease. Even before the tumor has spread outside of the kidney it can grow into the veins that drain the kidney. This pattern of growth is typically associated with a worse outcome. When RCCa spreads outside of the kidney, the first place it usually goes is the surrounding lymph nodes or the adrenal glands, which are positioned on top of the kidneys. The most common site for distant metastases is the lung, although RCCa can also be found in the liver, bone, or brain. Unlike most other cancers, if the sites of metastatic disease are easily removed with surgery a small number of patients can still be cured.
OncoLink: What is the role for surgery?
Dr. Rathmell: Surgery is still the mainstay of treatment in this disease regardless of the stage. If the tumor is confined to the kidney, surgical resection is a curative treatment in more than half of patients. Even after the disease has spread outside of the kidney, there is a proven benefit to removing the primary kidney tumor in addition to any other appropriate therapy. Furthermore, resection of metastatic sites (such that may occur in the lungs) can also be curative for a selected group of patients that have very limited and accessible metastatic disease. Currently available techniques have made a nephrectomy (surgical excision of the kidney) a much more tolerable and less invasive surgery. There is the growing experience with hand assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy (HALN). This less invasive procedure is associated with decreased blood loss, a shorter recovery time, and a shorter hospitalization and can be considered in most cases of RCCa.
OncoLink: What kind of therapy is available for RCCA?
Dr. Rathmell: The pharmaco-therapeutic approach to RCCa is unique among solid tumors. Because there is no effective cytotoxic therapy, currently available treatments are designed to attempt to boost the body's own immune system to recognize the tumor as a foreign tissue and eliminate it using the immune mechanisms already in place. This approach has potential to work in kidney cancer because RCCa has been anecdotally observed to shrink as a result of naturally occurring changes in the immune system. The only FDA-approved treatment is high dose therapy with a cytokine called IL-2. IL-2 works by activating the most potent killer cells of the immune system. However, this drug is very toxic at the doses required for kidney cancer treatment, and can cause organ failure or even death in a very short period of time. Although these serious effects are not common, because of the severity of this treatment, many patients are excluded from even trying this option due to other medical issues (such as heart disease). Furthermore, many hospitals will not support IL-2 therapy. It must, therefore, be administered only at certain regional centers by experienced physicians and nurses. Despite to the toxic side effect profile, the treatment only offers a 15-20% chance of response by the tumor. However, the small proportion of the patients who do respond can have a response lasting several months or even years. For patients who are not physically fit enough to tolerate high dose IL-2 or those who do not have access to a center which provides this treatment, many practitioners have adopted a low dose long-term treatment plan with either IL-2 or interferon-alpha (another cytokine with similar action to IL-2), or a combination of both agents. Although the treatment is better tolerated, it does have a smaller response rate, and because of the long-term nature of the treatment (6 months or more) many patients find the treatment intolerable. When these drugs fail, sometimes, traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy agents are given, although these drugs usually have an even smaller rate of success in this disease. Treatment with radiation is reserved for treatment of symptomatic metastatic sites. Because of the rather dismal outlook for current treatment modalities for RCCa, this cancer is unique in that it is widely accepted that most patients with metastatic disease should seek out and participate in a clinical trial aimed at advancing the present standard of care.
OncoLink: What do you see for the future of RCCA?
Dr. Rathmell: Although the current therapy for RCCa is not promising, for the first time in decades some real breakthroughs have been made for treatment targeting both the immunologic aspect of the disease as well as the fundamental genetics of RCCa (mutations in VHL). First, significant interest in expanding the role immune mediated tumor response has spawned a number of studies evaluating immunization of patients with a tumor vaccine. The assumption being that a more sustained and more effective immune response will be attained by "training" the immune system to recognize the tumor as a foreign tissue. Second, is the recent explosion in the development of pharmacologic agents that block signaling pathways that are important for the growth of RCCa. The first of these to gain national attention is Bevacizumab, (Avastin, Genentech) an antibody inhibitor of blood vessel growth. This signaling pathway is uniquely important to RCCa because the common mutation of VHL causes a string of events that promotes the cell to "turn on" a large number of genes involved in the cell's response to oxygen deprivation. One part of this response in the normal state is the recruitment of blood vessels to an area of reduced oxygen in order to bring blood and oxygen closer to the affected cells. One of the proteins that recruits blood vessels is called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). VEGF is "turned on" inappropriately in RCCa cells along with many other genes that assist the cell in a low oxygen environment because of the mutation in VHL. Bevacizumab blocks VEGF from being able to recruit blood vessel growth, which is detrimental to tumor growth and ultimately leads to cancer cell death. Patients given this drug on average had a longer time before their tumors grew, suggesting that blocking this pathway is an important step in treating this cancer. This drug is now undergoing the final stages of investigation in RCCa. Additionally, there are other drugs not yet as mature as bevacizumab, which are showing promise in early clinical trials, and, I believe, are poised to change the way we treat advanced RCCa.
OncoLink: What other research is going on in RCCa?
Dr. Rathmell: A tremendous amount of research is currently ongoing specifically directed at understanding the biology and treatment of RCCa, although this kind of research can be difficult to fund because this cancer type is not as high profile as others. We are constantly learning more about the genetics of RCCa, which has already had an impact on emerging treatments, and will certainly aid in refining and supplementing treatments. With this information, an important step, which has not yet been accomplished, is the development of a reliable animal model of RCCa. This is the primary focus of my research. Others have exploited the newer targeted therapy approaches using small molecules. These are being tested in RCCa and show promise in preliminary studies. However, these trials are not yet mature enough to change clinical practice.

If I'm going to receive/send email through Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo, would I be able to see the IP of the sender? I know there's nothing to do with the IP but would it give away the location from where I'm sending emails? Just curious if such email providers send this information.
migrated from superuser.com Oct 10 '12 at 14:52
This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
Short answer: Yes (at least if the sender used an email program).
Long answer: Each email message contains a number of headers, which describe things like the sender's and recipients' email addresses, where the message originated from, and so on. As the message passes through SMTP servers, which relay it to the recipient(s), each of them adds a Received field to the header. The last (because new fields are prepended to the existing header) such field, then, should show the IP address of the sender. However, if the sender used web-based email (as opposed to an email client like Outlook or Windows Live Mail), then the first Received field often contains just the IP address of the email server, rather than the sender. (At least that's the case with Gmail, according to this article.)
Some email providers might also use other header fields. For instance, Outlook.com (aka Hotmail) at one time used the X-Originating-IP header.
To see the headers of an email message yourself, you can do the following:
Several websites (such as these two) allow you to paste the source of an email and will automatically parse it for the sender's IP.
You can see email details in gmail when you open the email.
At the header navigation of the opened email there is a down arrow for more options.
In the following list click on
Internet emails are designed to carry the IP address of the computer from which the email was sent. This IP address is stored in an email header delivered to the recipient along with the message.

I'm living in a German-speaking country where ß is not used at all. Therefore, I do not use ß when I write German texts. Now I'm asking myself if this is technically a spelling error? Or is the ß more or less just a convention?
Sign up

There is no single set of spelling rules for the German language (just as, e.g. British and US English have different orthographies). German as used in Germany does include ß in certain words (after long vowels and diphthongs), and this is -- within the official orthography -- mandatory. German as used in Switzerland, however, does not.
An analogy in English (although not a special letter) would be the use of u in words such as neighbo(u)r. US spelling does not have a u, but in British English, this is not merely a convention (except in the sense that orthography rules are a convention).
Eszett is mandatory unless there are technical difficulties to write it, like writing on a non-German keyboard, or using a software or font that just doesn't support the letter. Yes, it is a spelling error, but you can substitute it with ss if you can't use ß for some reason. The same goes for the umlaut letters ä, ö and ü.
Duden rule 160:
Please note that people may find it impolite if you don't use ß and the umlauts for no reason.
It is more or less a convention to replace "ss", and "sz" by "ß". For more on this topic see:
Nevertheless there are rules in Germany to define when to write "ss", or "ß". Therefore we have and had to learn these rules (including their many exceptions). Up to now German pupils will get a wrong choice marked as an error in school. Also it will be corrected when editing books, journals, and newspapers.
Still this rules are not true for all German speaking countries. In Switzerland the letter "ß" does not exist at all. All German words are spelt with "ss" in Swiss publications. Putting an "ß" would be a definite error there.
To quote the recommendations of the Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung (Council for German Orthography):
English translation:
If you mix ss (instead of ß) with other other umlauts (instead of ae, oe, ue), people will think you're from Switzerland.
For texts that have no association with Switzerland, it will be seen as a spelling error.
Those alpine rustics and their quaint spelling ways...
When Germany took a cue from the Swiss and sensibly changed its orthography so that ss instead of ß follows a short vowel, the Swiss could have reciprocated by replacing their ss after a long vowel or diphtong with ß.
Maybe a cavalry detachment should be sent into Berne to help them along.
In the meantime you could start a campaign of subversion by sprinkling ß's throughout your texts, hacking the NZZ webserver to change ss to ß, and defacing street signs in nightly raids. But I perfectly understand if you decline my suggestion.
The people calling for abolishment of ß will be defeated. ¡No pasarán! On the contrary, modern computer technology allows me to call for wide-spread use of the lovely capital ß, which has been in Unicode as character "ẞ" U+1E9E LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S since 2008. And if you are viewing this text set in the Arial typeface on a Windows machine, you just saw it in the preceding sentence.

Ants are still around because the first snowfall or low temperatures still haven't reached the required lows to put ants into hibernation. This is going to be a very simple, but fun lesson to follow even if you are a skilled artist. I find that it's always relaxing drawing something that is easy, colorful, and quick for me to complete. I also have a regular ant tutorial, and that lesson can be found in the insects section under the 'Animals' category. Have fun guys and be sure to open your imagination when tackling the task to drawing an ant for kids. Make a whole clan if you want to with ant hills scattered everywhere. Heck, you can even make an ant farm too.

The Long Island-born defender opted to move back to the New York area after a season with the Columbus Crew.The New York Cosmos began the process of player acquisitions on Tuesday, signing local product and former New York Red Bulls and Columbus Crew defender Carlos Mendes as the club's first professional player.
The 31-year old Mendes, a native of Minneola, N.Y., played seven seasons in MLS with the Red Bulls and one with the Columbus Crew, making 158 appearances in all. He was out of contract after the 2012 season and has chosen to sign with the Cosmos of the North American Soccer League, who will begin play in 2013 and are aiming to become the New York area's second Major League Soccer team.
Mendes becomes the second former New York player to join the Cosmos in as many months, after former Metrostars striker and Venezuelan Giovanni Savarese was named the reincarnated franchise's first head coach in November.

Oops, something didn't work.
Very nice...
I have one question about adding web parts as safe to the web.config file...
We are using Sharepoint Portal server and I don't have a web.config located in the inpub/wwwroot directory as shown in the clip.
Where is the web.config file we need to edit for Portal Server?
Thank you in advance.
I am still needing the answer - you or anyone at MS care to answer? Time is of the essense...
Never mind Doncho - found it...
In our case
One of the virtual directories...
Works great!
Sorry I took so long to get back to you. Glad you found it.
Good demo. I have some questions about making it work for me on my system. I am running WSS 3.0 Beta 2 and the bin directory and web.config file were not located at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. I did find the virtual directories that someone else pointed out but again no folder specifically name "bin" was there. Could the litware.dll be placed under the _app_bin directory or the App_GlobalResources directory? I modified the web config file there and created a bin folder. When I go to the Web Part Gallery and select New, I do not see the litware web part to add.
Any suggestions?
Sounds like you have done the same as I did... Not sure why it wouldn't show up...
I had problem adding a webpart to the webpart gallery too.
I have to reboot the machine to add a webpart in the "add new webpart to a gallery" list.
I can't get a refresh if I change the webpart in VS2K5 (and re-generate it).
I don't have a intpub/wwwroot/web.config, so I modified the web.config or every virtualdirectory.
I use MOSS2007beta2 (without tech refresh) and WSS3. French version upgraded form Sharepoitn server 2k3.
Assemblies that implement ASP.NET Web Parts and are installed into a partially trusted location, such as the bin directory, must be compiled with the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute set for import to succeed.
Any thoughts??
"...must be compiled with the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute set to succeed"
Did anyone find a workaround for this? I have the following line set in my assembly file:
[assembly: System.Security.AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()]
And my web.config has the following line:
<SafeControl Assembly="FooWebParts, Version=126.96.36.199, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=645f96a346d0edda" Namespace="FooWebParts" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
Thank you for this basic walk through. It worked like a charm! I would like to use SQL and AD data in the webpart and haven't found any med-advanced code snippits on how to accomplish this. Do you have any suggestions on where to look?
the w3b1d10t.
I too faced the same error.
Assemblies that implement Asp.Nety Web Parts and are installed into a partialy trusted location, such as the bin directory, must be compiled with the AllowPartiallyTrustedAttribute set for import to succeed"
But the good thing is, I was able to resolve the error.
While creating the project VS 2005 added a signature file <filename>.snk file.
Please delete the <*.snk> file from the project and rebuild the project. Then put the DLL in the bin directory of the web site......
Now you should be able to add the web part to the SharePoint site.
Hope this helps you...
I faced the same problem. Did everything everybody else previously mentioned.
How I solved it. I created a web part project under VS2005 with WSS extensions installed. Then built the project (and this is the important bit) and deployed it using VS2005's Build>Deploy <Project> menu. VS2005 did its magic and got it working.
BTW, deleting the Temporary.snk file did not work for me.
Doing what wym.inc did (VS2005 Build->Deploy menu) worked for me as well. Din't try the other possibilities.
good example.thanks

"This group's a great idea and my compliments to the people who brought all from POWIA together again"
- Deependra Prashad, American Summer School 1997.
Our School History
The Prince of Wales's Institute of Architecture opened at Gloucester Gate, London
The Institute merged with the Urban Villages Forum and Regeneration Through Heritage to form The Prince's Foundation for Architecture and the Building Arts.
The Graduate Programme finished in July 1998, and the school transferred to Shoreditch in January.
The remaining Foundation Course in Architecture and the Building Arts closed in July.
The first intake of students into the Graduate Fellowship Programme in Sustainable Architecture and Urbanism.
Our Summer Schools
Summer schools have been held under several names in the past, . The first two were known as 'The Prince of Wales's Summer School in Civil Architecture', later ones as 'The Prince of Wales's European Summer School' or 'The Prince of Wales's American Summer School'. The last two (1998 and 1999) were not formally organised as summer schools, but rather run as an extension to the Graduate Programme. Summer schools have been held in beautiful and historical places, like Oxford, Rome and Berlin.
The Prince's Foundation began offering Summer Schools again in 2008, with the residential summer school The Culture of Building held in Lincoln and Poundbury, UK.
We are assembling an online library of images from the Institute and Foundation. Click on an image to view the class photos from years gone by. All photographs are by Richard Ivey unless noted otherwise.

Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Sixth AnnualSuccessful SequencingProjects…Pipelines…Platforms…ProgressMarch 7-8, 2012| Hilton San Diego Resort | San Diego, California
To sequence or not to sequence is no longer the question. Sequencing projects are becoming more numerous and more complex. Matching the NGS platform(s) to your genomic research project includes not only decisions concerning read length and coverage but also efficient workflow strategies. Management of sequencing projects includes both upstream sequencing runs and downstream data management and analysis. Experienced researchers from large sequencing centers, core laboratories, and specialized groups share their practical knowledge, real-world experiences and solutions from project to pipeline to platform to progress.
Day 1 | Day 2 | Download Brochure
7:30-8:30 am Breakfast Presentation (Sponsorship Opportunity Available) or Morning Coffee
» 8:30 am - 12:30 pm • Plenary Keynote Session
8:30 Chairperson's Opening Remarks
8:40 Recent Advances in Cancer Genome Sequencing
Richard K. Wilson, Ph.D., Professor of Genetics, Director, The Genome Institute, Washington University School of Medicine
Our laboratory was the first to sequence the genome of a cancer patient and discover genetic signatures relevant to the pathogenesis of the disease. Building upon this achievement, our current focus is to utilize genome sequencing and analysis technology to discover clues that will facilitate more effective diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other human diseases. This presentation highlights some of the recent accomplishments and impact of The Genome Institute's cancer sequencing program.
9:25 Making a Definitive Diagnosis: Successful Clinical Application of Diagnostic Whole Genome Sequencing
Elizabeth A. Worthey, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, The Human and Molecular Genetics Center, Pediatrics, Bioinformatics, Medical College of Wisconsin
We began deploying genomic sequencing in the clinic in the latter half 2009 to end a diagnostic odyssey in a specific child and continue to offer this service as a clinic to end such odysseys for other specific, very ill individuals being seen at the Children's Hospital and Health System of Wisconsin. So far we have received requests for clinical sequencing of more than 50 individuals. Eleven individuals have had their genomes sequenced; in a number of (but not all) cases a diagnosis has been rendered. Our approach to clinical whole genome sequencing, our analysis strategy and tools, and findings will be presented.
10:10 - 11:00 Networking Coffee Break in the Exhibit Hall with Poster Viewing
11:00 Can Genomes Improve Medical Outcomes?
Samuel Levy, Ph.D., Director of Genomic Sciences, Scripps Translational Science Institute and Scripps Genomic Medicine, Professor of Molecular and Experimental Medicine, The Scripps Research Institute
Pharmacogenomics and cancer benefit from the acquisition of DNA sequencing data in concert with relevant clinical phenotypes. The application of novel sequencing approaches in these areas enables the detection of molecular signatures that can be employed to determine appropriate treatment strategies that will positively impact medical outcomes.
11:45 RNA Editing – The Neo-Gold Rush of Diversity?
Robert Braun, Ph.D., Associate Director/Chair of Research, The Jackson Laboratory
RNA editing is a process that modifies RNA nucleotides and changes the efficiency and fidelity of the central dogma. Recent advances in sequencing have enabled the genome-wide identification of RNA editing sites in mammalian transcriptomes. We have demonstrated that tissue-specific canonical RNA editing (A-to-I and C-to-U) occurs in the mouse, and report that high-confidence canonical RNA editing sites can cause non-synonymous amino acid changes and are significantly enriched in 3? UTRs, specifically at microRNA target sites, suggesting both regulatory and functional consequences for RNA editing.

4:30 Resource Management in NGS: Getting Out From Under the 80-20 Rule
Ghia Euskirchen, Ph.D., Director, DNA Sequencing Program, Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine, Stanford University
NGS has become a widespread tool in molecular biology and continues to play a critical role in personalized medicine, biodiversity, agriculture and other large-scale studies. Small-scale experiments and new projects tend to require disproportionately more support, yet they are often the sparks for eventual large-scale, systematic studies. Feasibility and project needs dictate process upgrades and frequent recalibrations are part of the realm. Illustrative examples from both internal research projects and the service center workflow will be presented and explored.
5:05 Application of High-Throughput Sequencing Technologies at the UCSD Biomedical Genomics Core Facility
Gary T. Hardiman, Ph.D., Associate Professor; Director, Biomedical Genomics Microarray Facility, University of California, San Diego
The mission of the UCSD Biomedical Genomics Core (BIOGEM) is to provide state of the art sequencing services to the UCSD biomedical community. A major goal in biomedical research today is to understand how alterations in the epigenome and subsequent responses in gene expression impact disease phenotype and treatment regimens. BIOGEM provides complementary services to advance these efforts: conventional gene expression microarray analysis and deep sequencing-based approaches to help define transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms. This presentation will cover the application of Illumina and Pacific Biosciences massively parallel sequencing technologies at UCSD BIOGEM.

In this parody of Game of Thrones Khaleesi, or Daenerys Targaryen, is more like the Mother of Pizza than the Mother of Dragons—which is a much tastier thing to be mother of, although not much good at protecting you.
Have you seen every Disney movie released since 1989? It's quite a few films, a Disney fan will undoubtedly have seen them but for everyone else, maybe not. Whether you have or haven't you'll def enjoy this mashup of (nearly) every Disney release since 1989.
Taking a break from filming the sequel to the very awesome Deadpool movie, the merc with a mouth himself headed to San Diego's Comic-Con to cause chaos and carnage amongst the cosplayers and nerds.
In this new animated short from Dorkly, they look closely at why Mortal Kombat rounds don't make much sense. Questioning how an opponent who was totally owned rises up for a 2nd round, when really he would need months of physical therapy before fighting again.
"Game Over" by PES is an awesome a stop-motion video featuring scenes from classic arcade games recreated using very unusual objects, from muffins to breadsticks, watches, and toy cars. Inspired.
As Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson begins his YouTube career, his good friend Lilly Singh AKA iisuperwomanii gives him a tour around the remote volcanic island where, supposedly, all of our favorite videos get made.
This Pokemon Go hack uses the accelerometer built into the smartphone to make the action of 'throwing' a poke ball that much more realistic—a simple setting change can utilize the phones accelerometer to launch the poke ball perfectly every time.
One day robots will walk among us, but before that day we have humanoid robots like DURUS—DURUS displays the natural heel-strike and toe push-off behaviors that play a key role in human locomotion. And it's kind of creepy to watch him move.
If you have a cat, then you'll know what happens when you combine cats and laser toys, but it seems no one told Simon Tofield who thinks it'll be a lot of fun to play with his cat using a laser pen. It doesn't turn out as planned though.
In this humorous sketch comedy duo Tripp & Tyler (Tripp Crosby and Tyler Stanton)are co-workers in an office meeting and they can't help making the most inappropriate dongle-related innuendos.
Get to know Jeff 'The Dude' Dowd, the eccentric and interesting man who was the inspiration for Jeff Bridges' legendary character, Jeffrey 'The Dude' Lebowski, in Joel and Ethan Coen's beloved 1998 crime comedy film, The Big Lebowski.
The filming of Star Wars episode 8 has ended. The cast and crew celebrated at a party that included some amazing and awesome dancing storm troopers—it's pretty much what every party, wrap or not, should have.
Matthew McConaughey has made some very odd Lincoln commercials where he stares off into the middle distance while driving and rattling on about all kinds of stuff—they're ripe for parody and this one featuring a girl in a pink Barbie car is one of the best.
Aerobatic pilot Melissa Andrzejewski flies under highliner Sketchy Andy Lewis and freestyle motocross legend Jimmy Fitzpatrick in a first of it's kind aviation stunt in the middle of a California desert.
Paweł Zadrożniak introduces his upgraded computer hardware orchestra, The Floppotron, which includes 64 floppy drives, 8 hard drives, and more. For it's debut performance, The Floppotron covers Darth Vader's ominous Imperial March theme from the Star Wars saga.

Main Content
Nice perspective
It's like the opening scene of the film Frozen.
I love how the city is just barely visible in the background. It makes the shot slightly haunting.
Very fine.
Knowing nothing about ice breaking, but indeed knowing about how much I like photography,are different things. Well I do like this one of men at work, that must be very hard on them.With those tools that look and are dangerous, I do not envy them this job. Outstanding shot. j.e.s.
great ..
@ashraful shyamal Ashraful......thank, appreciate your comment......
Congratulations!!! great photo
@Alejandra Ruiz de Mendarozqueta Thank you Alejandra Ruiz de Mendarozqueta (wow you have one long name.......)
Excellent photo.....good job.
@L. McKinney Thanks L. McKinney !
very nice
@Mathews Uthuppachan Thanks Mathews for the comment...
Wow... I love it!
@V. Lombardi Thanks so much.......
Fascinating. Such hard work I would imagine! So many interesting things to learn from the Nat. Geographic photos.
Woo hooo.....Photo of the Day......well done Wesley! Your 5 mile trek really paid off! Bet you enjoyed your dinner that evening :)
@heather levingstone Woo Hoo.....Nope I was staying alone in my in-laws home by myself all Christmas while I was up there shooting. No T.V., No people...just me and my cameras.......pretty sad huh.....
We in the US actually use something like that in construction to pound in concrete stakes and steel fence. You get a steel pipe 1/2 to 1 inch larger than object to be pounded in cut to length that is comfortable for you, thread the end, weld on handles and put a cap on it. Look at the first person his has a cap on it. All you would have to do is thread the bottom and add another device. There not as heavy as a sledgehammer and no misses.
@William Henry Hey thanks William, yeah I'm sure they probably got the idea to do this from construction workers seeing as how most of these guys are construction workers themselves, but I appreciate your info cause most of the time I just take the photos and never really delve into specifics...
So much of manual labour in tough weather, I wish they better come up with some workable machinery. Good luck to them.
@Rajesh Pathak Rajesh.....actually the photo information they had up there was incomplete. The ice is actually first broken by huge saws they drag across the ice. The big spikes there using are only used to break the ice apart.......
Its always a blessing to learn something new about other countries. I have lived in the snow in North Dakota but here in SA our lives are a lot more "sunny". Great photo... "but they had better mind their toes because those tools look real sharp".
@Sandra Hickman They weigh a ton Sandra and I could hardly pick up one myself so I don't know how they use these things all day......
What a feat of strength that must take - and ALL those blocks! I would have thought they would just freeze water into the right shapes.
@Bev Hennager No Bev....but then you might have an idea you can market to the Chinese and you could make a lot of money.....hahaha
I've stayed such a long time in Harbin but I did not know a tool like that.
@qing li Qing Li, That's because you were probably smart enough to stay inside where it's warm.....hee hee ........thanks
I personally salute the ingenuity of the tool (almost fashioned as a sword). I live in a winter country (Canada/Québec) where the idea has not come out yet.
@Denis C. Wow Denis, thanks for the informative comment....I always wonder whether this huge saw is something unique to China or whether it's used in other places. There's actually another shot on my gallery somewhere where you can actually see the thing more clearly.......but thanks much for you comment again.....
Congrats for making the photo of the day dear friend !! Such a wonderfully composed image and so deserving of the honor...
@Ivan Lesica Ahhhhhh UUUUU again. God Ivan your everywhere.....hahaha......Thanks so much friend and hope all is well in New York these days.......
Wow! just excellent. Keep sending more ......... great work.
@Sudipta Ranjan Das Appreciate your comment Sudipta.....thanks !
well dats a amazzing photo.......:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
@Lokesh Gautam Wow Lokesh..... 7 :D's.......that's a first......thanks so much......
This photo reminds me of the movie <Frozen> haha
@Sue Lee Thanks Sue and my feet were "frozen" that day as well..... ;-)
Fabulous picture. Is there any video available for this.

The Question:
I hope you don't mind my asking a question I'm very concerned with as I've heard you are the best and would trust your advice. I just got my nipples pierced on Saturday. I have flat nipples to begin with, they aren't inverted - just not erect without stimulation or being cold. I did some online research beforehand and from what I read found that it should cause them to stay a little more "perky."
The piercer marked saw them flat, in fact she marked them flat and I'm not sure she ever saw them erect. I was so nervous, I didn't even realize that I hadn't gotten to check the markings myself before they were pierced. Now that it's been a few days, I'm noticing something that's irking me. On the right side, one side the CBR seems to come out of the nipple itself, almost at the edge of it at an angle, but on the other side it's further back and seems to be out of the areola or behind the nipple instead. If I look front on in my bathroom mirror they're even and everything, but up close something just doesn't seem... lined up. Aesthetically it's a bit annoying, but what I'm really worried about is if this is going to cause me a bigger problem. More prone to reject, damage to the nipple etc.
What should I do? Learn to live with it, or take them out? Could I get it redone later and perhaps get them pierced erect so it lines up better? Or is nipple piercing just not for me? Is this not even an issue? I'm so confused.
The easiest, safest, most effective piercing care product ever!
GREAT for healing and troubled piercings.

Unanswered: Linechart with plotLines
I'm trying to mark special dates with a vertical line within the chart. (Like plotLines on highcharts -> http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1....tlines-events/)
First thought was to extend the charting classes but it's not that easy . Did anybody tried similar or have a good starting point?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott, thanks for the reply. I think I try to draw something on top of the chart and I will post the progress.
Unfortunately the link in your second post leads me to a "you do not have permissions to access this page" message. I guess this is only available for premium members.
interose, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
