Painting Town Red, Dancing All Night, and Other Cliches You'd Kill to Live Out
Wednesday night at ad:tech totally kicked Tuesday night's ass.
It started pretty innocuously. I met up with Ana Yoerg, whom I haven't seen since last year, and we hit the W to bootleg internet and do work. Turns out Return Path was having a party there, so we sat on a couch like square bears with our Macbook Pros and tried to avoid the aerodynamic alcohol beverages.
Every once in awhile I'd look up and meet eyes with a well-dressed waiter, whose only function was to hold up a sign that said "Return Path."

"~Victorville & Route 66~" Victorville by Yaqui
Victorville Travel Guide: 22 reviews and 43 photos
The first residence of Victor Valley where the Shoshonean Paiutes, Mojaves, Serranos, Vanyumes and the Chemehueves. They all wondered in and out of the valley for water and food. They often fought and the strongest tribe remained. The Spanish traveled through this area by using trails created by Native Americans. It was eventually used by fur trappers Jedidiah S. Smith and explorers Brevet Captain John C. Fremont. It was finally settled by pioneer Captain A. G. Lane in 1858. He attained the rank of Captain during the Mexican-American War, but sadly suffered from malaria. He found the dry climate helpful to his condition. He established what was called Lane's Crossing. He offered travelers who were passing through goods they needed to continue on. He was successful of growing crops and raising cattle. It was in 1895, this village was called "Victor" after Supervisor Jacob Nash Victor when the railroad came to Victor Valley. It was an engineering triumph that arrived in 1883 built by the California Southern RR line. It reached the Atlantic & Pacific (UPRR) junction at Barstow/Daggett in 1885. It was renamed to Victorville in 1901 when the post office was established.
In 1926, highway U.S. Route 66 found it's way through Victorville. It graces Seventh Street and continues across Interstate 15 and becomes Palmdale Road, which passes through Old Town Victorville. Yet, not longer the main passage since Interstate 15 passes right over it. Old Town Victorville looks a little weary. I was exploring and was a little dismay in the condition of many of the buildings. Most were vacant, and yet some business such as the antique stores are hanging in there. There is lots of historical interest in the old town area, but I do not want VT travelers think this is all of what Victorville has to offer. There is a huge outlet factory mall located off of Interstate 15 and more.
- Pros:Lots of history~
- Cons:Watch for speeders!!!!

Oh wonderful, we are on Route 66 here! A shame though that the museum was closed - it would certainly be interesting to visit. Still you seem to have made the best of your time here :-)
Thanks for your comment on my Strasbourg page. It is fun to see a Victorville, CA page. I taught for many years in Phelan, just down the road. I miss the Joshua Trees. They have real character.
You show us lots of ?hidden gems?, Dee; I like there is (was?) a Pyrenees Restaurant near Route 66; travelling with you is always a pleasure.
What a great introduction with interesting information. Enjoyed your historic tour. Enjoyed the story about Brownie, sad.
Super photographs, Dee.
Hi, Dee!~ Thanks for your story about Victorville!
This town has had a lot of varied history. What an irony the cemetery got overused. How does that happen? Good job of showing the sites
The Turner House of 1880 looks most lovely! Wishing you the best for the New Year of 2011, dear Dee.
Poor Brownie! I'm proud of people who created a monument to the dog... Thank you Dee for sharing this story!
Nice page!
Nice story about the dog :O)

When gun ownership declines, crime drops
The National Rifle Association's position that assault weapons are a magnificent weapon well worth possessing makes sense until the weapons fall into the wrong hands. Sadly, this occurred recently.
There are some interesting statistics to consider. Nearly 55 percent of Americans own guns, yet only 6 percent of Britons own guns.

" While this term has been used over and over, it still holds true. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. If the individual who committed the massacre in Sandy Hook drove a van loaded with explosives into the entrance of the school, Would we ban vehicles? And anyone can create a car bomb with ingredients found at hardware stores. Where do we draw the line? I believe if those teachers were armed, then a lot less would've faced their execution last Friday. "

" Approximately half of those killings you cited were inner city shootings by minorities against each other. Most of the balance were either self inflicted suicides or by someone close to the person killed (domestic violence). A infinitesimal amount were mass murders. More people are killed annually by drunk drivers then by guns; would you ban cars? Banning guns to prevent violence is like banning cars to prevent drunk drivers. Guns are NOT the problem: People are. "

Re: Amos Johnson 'How I Beat Cassius Clay'
Tuesday Night - June 21, 1966
The Stadium - Liverpool, United Kingdom
Attendance; 20,000
'Atom Amos' Johnson (United States)
Record......22-3-2 (11 KO's)
Rating......#7 WBA / #5 Ring Magazine
Age..........27 1/2
Height.......6' 3"
Weight......200 lbs.
Brian 'Blackpool Rock' London (United Kingdom)
Record......34-13-0 (26 KO's)
Rating.......#14 WBA / #13 Ring Magazine
Height.......6' 0"
Weight......199 lbs.
'Atom Amos' Johnson was Disqualified by 'British Referee' Ike Powell mid-way through the 7th Round
for 'head-butting' Britain Heavyweight Brian London.
In a very rough fight, where both fighters bent the 'boxing rules', with head-butting, low-blows,
hitting after the bell, and inside rough-housing, the Referee Ike Powell called a halt to the bout,
after warning the American heavyweight several times earlier.
Many of The Liverpool Stadium fans boo'ed the Referee's decision, as both fighters were guilty
of fouling.
'Atom Amos' Johnson was getting the better of the two combatants, by showing flashes of
good boxing, after withstanding a good charge by the 'Blackpool Rock' in the middle rounds.
The American, the #7 ranked Heavyweight was ahead in the bout, and appeared to be on his
way to a Decision win.
$700 (10%) of the American's $7000 fight purse will be withheld by the British Boxing Board.
'Atom Amos' Johnson; 'The Referee allowed London to get dirty, and I had no choice but to do
the same to him. He never warned him about fouling, yet I was warned several times for
retaliating. Every one could see I was on my way to a Decision win, and the only way he
could win was by Disqualification.'

It's All About Balance continued...
Likewise, if you're bottom-heavy and top-light, Siebold says, look for clothes that bring the eye upward. Think great necklines and bright colors near the face, and dark colors on the bottom.
"Your goal should be to achieve a visually balanced, symmetrical look between top and bottom so when you look at yourself in the mirror you see an unbroken line, and no one area jumps out," says Siebold.
In addition, Arroz notes, you can fine-tune your balancing act by paying attention to body details like your torso (long vs. short), bosom (high, low, large, or small), hips (wide side-to-side or wide front-to-back), and recognizing where you carry the most weight.
"Any one area of your body that doesn't look right in relation to the rest of your body is the area that you need to address with corrective clothing," says Figueroa.
Size Matters -- Size Tags Don't
Size Matters -- Size Tags Don't
While visual balance is important, so is wearing the right size. That sounds simple enough, but Siebold says it's an area where we often make major fashion faux pas.
"We often think that if an article of clothing fits around our body that it fits our body, but this is not the same thing," says Siebold. Clothes should gently curve around your body, without clinging but without hiding your shape, she says.
"A plus-size girl's best friend is definitely her tailor, because oftentimes just a dart here or a seam there can give even the most inexpensive outfits a designer look -- and yes, that will make you look thinner," says Figueroa.
As unflattering as baggy, shapeless clothing can be, wearing outfits that are too small can be an even bigger fashion disaster.
"When you are a size 6, trying on a size 8 to get a better fit isn't a big deal; but when you're in an 18 and you need to size up to a 20, you feel like a horrible failure," Figueroa says. "Going up a size isn't just a fashion move, it's a whole psychological experience, and so we often avoid it."
To shake those feelings, she says, learn to ignore size tags and go for what looks best on your body. To make sure you have the right size, make sure there's about a finger's width of space between your skin and the garment. "More than that and your clothes are going to make you look shapeless; less than that, and you are squeezing into too small a size -- and either one is going to make your look heavier," says Figueroa.

This calculation method is very detailed and complex. The Red-Bag software engineers together with engineers of Gasunie followed the course of flange management at Dijkgraaf-Support B.V. The images give an overview of the practical exercises supporting the theory as presented in the class room.
We are happy to announce that the latest release of the Vessel & Exchanger Software version 8.4 August 2014 has been issued. The package will be send to our customers this week. Customers receive this software update as part of your maintenance contract.
Below listed are the major updates.
Fluor Netherlands is using the PCC software of Red-Bag for the calculation of their pipe class components. During the years Fluor has provided valuable feedback for the further development of the software and the cooperation has been successful ever since.
We are happy to announce that Bureau Veritas in Antwerp Belgium has placed the purchase order for the Red-Bag PCC and VES software.
At Red-Bag we regard this order as an important milestone that signifies the confidence that a Notified Body has in the PCC, VES software and Red-Bag as a company.

We are not convinced that the characters in "How to Train Your Dragon" are Christians (our understanding is that Vikings did adopt Christianity, but we don't know about these characters), and perhaps that's why the description of this special doesn't mention Christmas, just the 'winter holidays.' In any case, Hiccup and Astrid and Stoick are all here for this holiday tale despite their preparing for "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and "How to Train Your Dragon 3," which are due out in 2014 and 2016, respectively. We do kind of wonder if in fact though Santa's sleigh isn't pulled by reindeer, but rather by dragons. Wouldn't that be kind of awesome?

A Modern Guide to An Aggressive Chess Opening
Grandmaster Bogdan Lilac provides a complete repertoire with the aggressive Grunfeld Defense, based around complete illustrative games. The Grunfeld has been a favorite of World Champions Fischer and Kasparov, and its young contemporary adherents include Vishwanathan Anand and Peter Leko.
The Grunfeld for the Attacking Player
Shock Your Opponents with the Four Pawns Attack!
It seems unfair that Black gets all the attacking chances in the normal lines of the King's Indian. Readers can now take a tip from the World's leading expert of sharp systems and shock their opponent with the Four Pawn Attack! Black has countless ways to go wrong, while White is risking little if well-prepared. Vaisser's hitherto unpublished analysis will give readers the edge they need to send Black's King to the guillotine.
Beating the King's Indian and Benoni
This is White's fianchetto against the King's Indian Defense 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.g3. An ideal choice for those who want to deny King's Indian players their usual attacking plans. White's harmonious scheme of development, envisaging strong pressure against Black's queenside, has appealed to many of the all-time greats - Alekhine, Botvinnik, Karpov, and Kasparov.
The Fianchetto King's Indian
A new generation of Russian players has renovated this opening to make it a fully respectable member of the modern openings. This book provides complete coverage of this lively counter-attacking system, and shows how difficult it is for White to handle without careful preparation.
The Chigorin's Queen's Gambit
This book focuses on the King's Indian variations that have undergone the most dramatic change in the 1990's: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0. The system with ..Na6 receives full coverage, together with the traditional main lines of 7..Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 followed by Ne1 or Nd2.
The New Classical King's Indian
Understanding an opening is more important the knowing a mass of variations. For no opening is this more true than for the Spanish. The most famous of chess openings leads to a deep strategic maneuvering battle. Experienced GM's seem almost clairvoyant when handling the positions. It is not a sixth sense, but a knowledge of the typical maneuvers and themes that enable them to have their pieces where they need them, when they need them. This book provides a complete course in helping the reader to understand those themes.
Understanding the Spanish
Understanding opening ideas is far m ore important than memorizing long variations, especially for the player who has little time or inclination for the study of opening theory. In this book the author has selected a number of sound but aggressive systems which he himself has used in Grandmaster play. By using annotated games to explain the strategic features of each variation, he also gives the reader a feel for the middle game positions which arise.
Dynamic Chess Openings
The Sveshnikov Sicilian is arguably the most dynamic line in the whole of the Sicilian Defence. Black takes on certain structural weaknesses but gains active piece play as compensation, which is very much in keeping with the modern style of play. Black is not content to equalize but from the very startsets out to wrest the advantage from his opponent's hands.
The Sveshnikov Sicilian
The Definitive Guide to Fischer and Kasparov's Favorite Chess Opening
The Najdorf Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6) is the most important, popular, and talked about opening in chess. Its name is synonymous with such luminaries as Tal, Fischer, and Kasparov.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 2005 -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture today announced a further increase in fiscal year (FY) 2006 allowable sugar imports of 450,000 short tons raw value (STRV).
This amount is composed of a 150,000 STRV increase in the global, first-come, first-served FY 2006 tariff rate quota (TRQ) for refined sugar, and a 300,000 STRV increase in the World Trade Organization (WTO) raw sugar TRQ. This action is in response to the sugar market situation resulting from hurricane damage to the cane crop and disruption in refinery activities, delays to beet and cane harvesting, and various transportation dislocations.
With this increase, the FY 2006 WTO raw sugar TRQ is now 1,651,497 STRV. The additional TRQ quantity will be allocated by the U.S.Trade Representative. Entry of this sugar will require certificates for quota eligibility. The 300,000 STRV increase in the WTO raw sugar TRQ will be made in the same manner as has been done in prior increases of this TRQ.
The global refined TRQ, previously established on September 9, 2005 at 82,815 STRV, is now 232,815 STRV. The authority for modification of a quantitative limitation previously established for the sugar TRQs is in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, Chapter 17, Additional U.S. Note 5.
To qualify for entry under the refined sugar TRQ, the sucrose content, by weight, in the dry state must have a polarimeter reading of 99.5 degrees or more. Sugar entering under the global refined TRQ must be entered in containers of 120 metric tons or less. It has been determined that tranches are needed to allow for orderly marketing of the refined sugar TRQ. The TRQ will open in four 37,500 STRV tranches on the following dates: December 9, 2005; December 29, 2005; January 10, 2006; and January 24, 2006. Entry of this sugar will not require certificates for quota eligibility.
USDA is reassigning 450,000 STRV of the current cane sugar marketing allotment to imports because the recent hurricanes have significantly reduced the sugar production potential in Louisiana and Florida. USDA will announce revised cane state allotments and sugarcane processor allocations when the company-specific damages are better understood.
USDA has announced in the Federal Register an extension of the period in which refiners licensed under the Refined Sugar Re-Export Program must export refined sugar to offset a corresponding import of raw sugar from 90 days currently to 270 days. This extension for licensed refiners will expire on September 30, 2006. This action should provide additional short-run liquidity to the market.
USDA recognizes that more sugar than the quantity provided for by this action may be needed in this fiscal year to balance the market. USDA will continue to assess domestic refining capacity, domestic production and consumption and the relationship between the Mexican and American sweetener markets as a common market is approached in January 2008, and market developments as it makes these adjustments.

All acne is not created equal, but whether you're dealing excess oil, hormonal breakouts, or stress pimples, this calming facial treatment has you covered. Made from an all-natural fiber cloth that retains 50 percent more moisture than synthetic versions, this mask calms irritated skin, and eradicates excess oil and bacteria—because your skin shouldn't have to relive its blemish-filled teenage years.
I loved this product!! I was nervous at first with it being a cloth mask, but it was so easy to use and left my skin feeling so hydrated and soft! Most masks I have used in the past of dried out and stripped my skin, and this was the complete opposite! Definitely putting this into my skincare regime!5
I was pretty tired when applying this mask so I accidentally tore a little bit of the backing. But once I finally got the mask on I went to relax for 20 minutes. When I took the mask off my skin looked brighter but also dryer. I did massage the remaining product into my face, neck and hands. But you will probably need an additional moisturizer on top. It does a great job of eradicating excess oil.4

Goodbye NEET Welcome Back AIPMT
New Delhi,Oct 17
The All India Medical Entrance Test that CBSE plans to conduct on 4 May, 2014 would be known as AIPMT even though the exam pattern, structure and syllabus for the exam will be the same as that of NEET UG 2013 (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test.)
NEET UG, that replaced AIPMT last year, was supposed to be a single entrance examination to get admission to almost all medical colleges in India, including private medical colleges. The main aim behind the introduction of NEET was to relieve the need of students to appear in multiple tests and promote merit in admission process. However, many states as well as colleges did not support the idea of replacing the AIPMT with NEET.
Hence this year, the CBSE released an official notification stating that it would now conduct AIPMT 2014. AIPMT will be conducted only for the 15% national quota in government medical/dental colleges all over India except for the states of Andhra Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir.
(Read: CBSE to conduct Medical Entrance on 4 May, 2014)
NEET was supposed to have replaced many state level and institute level medical entrance exams. But AIPMT won't be replacing any such exams.
Azad writes to PM justifying NEET
New Delhi,Aug 8
The Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad has written to the Prime Minister justifying the need to retain the common entrance test i.e. NEET for admissions into MBBS, BDS and PG courses in all medical colleges, in the midst of a controversy over Supreme Court's decision to scrap it.
The letter from Azad came after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh voicing objections against the Centre's decision to file a petition in Supreme Court seeking review of its judgment quashing the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET).
Azad said that students seeking admission in graduate and postgraduate level medical courses and their parents had to suffer from mental, physical and financial hardships under the admission scheme followed till last year. Also, multiple entrance examinations conducted by various agencies have given rise to differential standards for admission to MBBS/PG courses compromising the merit component, he said.
Azad said that his Ministry has been working on creating a more robust environment for admissions to medical and dental courses across the country by introducing a single window entrance test and that it would be in the larger interest of society and of students aspiring to study medicine to have NEET. It has been made clear that no reservation policy followed by minority institutions or state governments would be affected by a NEET based admission process, he stressed.
With the support from the dissenting judgment of Justice A.R. Dave, Health Ministry has decided to file the review petition and has also sought the advice of the Department of Legal Affairs in the matter, the Minister said in his letter. In a majority verdict, the Supreme Court had scrapped NEET on July 18. In a dissenting judgment, Justice Dave had upheld the Medical Council of India's decision to conduct this common entrance exam saying that holding of NEET is "legal, practical and need of the society".
CEE to amend NEET rank list
Thiruvananthapuram,Jun 15
The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) will make amendments to the rank list of the National Entrance-Cum-Eligibility Test (NEET) before allotment to MBBS and BDS courses in the state to ensure that the list was in accordance with the prospectus published by it.
CEE B.S. Mavoji told Deccan Chronicle that the CBSE, which prepared the list, had given students the option to identify three states of their preference. Many students from Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have opted for the state.
However, the students who gave the state as a choice while applying for NEET UG 2013, would be eligible only if they satisfied the criteria for admissions to colleges as per the clause in the prospectus, he said. According to the prospectus, only Keralites and non-Keralite category-1 are eligible for admissions in the state.
According to this clause, a candidate of Kerala origin and children of all-India service officers allotted to the state are only considered as Keralites. A candidate who is not of 'Kerala origin' but who had undergone the qualifying course in the state and who is the son/daughter of employees of the central government, defence personnel posted in the state and employees, who are serving the state government, for a minimum period of two years are considered under non-Keralite category-I.

Neet optional this year says Supreme Court
Hyderabad,May 14
Giving some relief to students, at least for a year, the Supreme Court on Monday made the National-Eligibi-lity-cum-Entrance Test (Neet) optional for admission to under-graduate and post-graduate medical courses for 2013-14.
This clears the decks for admission to MBBS, dental and PG medical courses based on exams held by the state. The court will deliver its final verdict on Neet in the first week of July.

No NEET centres in US Europe. NRIs cry discrimination
Washington,Apr 2
Several Indian community organisations in the US have called the "National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Under Graduate courses" (NEET - UG) discriminatory to non-resident Indian (NRI) students and have sought its gradual implementation over two years. With the approval of the Central Government of India, the Medical Council of India (MCI) had made provision for a single eligibility cum entrance examination, namely, NEET for admission to MBBS course in each academic year. Similarly, the Dental Council of India (DCI) had also notified that admission to BDS courses in each academic year shall be through National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET). Accordingly, the CBSE will conduct NEET for admission to MBBS and BDS Courses in the academic session 2013-14 on Sunday, 5th May 2013.
But NEET will hinder the NRI students applying for medical and dental college admission in India as there are no NEET test centres in the US, Europe and other countries with a large NRI population, said the Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) in a media release. About 2,000 NRI students apply to MBBS and BDS admissions in India every year.
Other community organisations including the Global Indian Diaspora Foundation, Federation of Kerala Association of North America (FOKANA) and Federation of Malayalee Association of America (FOMA) have also written to the central and state authorities in this regard.
The GOPIO has asked the authorities to maintain status quo on admission of NRI students to medical and dental colleges for two years, otherwise most NRI students would not be able to appear for NEET 2013. For the last 20 years, Indian medical colleges have been giving admission to NRI students based on NRI quota on the basis of equivalent certificate from the education section of the Indian missions and the Association of Indian Universities, GOPIO said.
Since the MCI announcement of the new national entrance test was made only in January 2013, there is not enough time to prepare for the test for NRI students in the current academic year as no clear examination guidelines are available yet, GOPIO said.
NRI students from the US, South America, Canada, Australia, Africa and Europe would find it difficult to take NEET unlike students in the Middle East who have NEET examination centres available in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) and Dubai
250 extra classes needed to cover Neet syllabus
Hyderabad,Dec 25
The National-EligibilityCum-Entrance Test for admission to MBBS and BDS courses will be a tough nut to crack for Andhra Pradesh students with junior colleges having to conduct more than 250 hours of additional classes just to be at par with Neet.
The expert committee appointed by the Board of Intermediate Education to study the implications of Neet on AP students has found that there are several topics in Neet that are not covered in the Inter syllabus.
The committee has come to a conclusion that the Inter syllabus for science subjects is no match for Neet, which is based on the NCERT syllabus. The outcome of this is that junior colleges will have to conduct over 250 additional classes from now to cover the Neet contents.
The committee found that there was a deficiency of 14 per cent in the physics syllabus, 35 per cent in botany, 36 per cent in zoology and 18 per cent in chemistry, when Inter was compared to Neet.
The Inter board has decided to conduct training programmes for lecturers in junior colleges from this month-end to apprise them of the variation in syllabus and the topics they need to cover to prepare students for Neet.
It has already sent circulars to principals to send their science teachers for orientation programmes.

NEET forms create confusion among students
Hyderabad,Dec 8
The confusion created by the government's inability to clarify what entrance exams students must sit for, is the last thing students anxious about their performance, need.
Students still do not know whether the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Neet) is applicable to Andhra Pradesh or not for admission to MBBS and BDS courses from the 2013-14 academic year.
The online application process started by the CBSE from December 1 has further fueled confusion among students, parents and teachers.
There are many columns in the online application form that students cannot comprehend. They are clueless whether they have to fill those columns or not, or whether to specify 'Yes' or 'No'. It is no use looking to teachers or the government for answers as, ironically, they, too, know nothing.
The government maintains that it cannot clarify anything about Neet at this stage since the case is pending in the Supreme Court, though the AP High Court has stayed Neet in AP earlier. As a precautionary measure, the government has advised students to submit applications for Neet. AP kids face never-ending woes Students don't know if Neet applicable to Andhra Pradesh or not Several columns in the CBSE's online form have also left them confused The column pertaining to `choice of seats' in the CBSE's online application form has been giving students in AP a tough time. It asks students from AP and Jammu and Kashmir who have opted for seats under the 15 per cent All-India Quota, to submit an affidavit.
However, AP is not part of the 15 per cent All India Quota created under a Presidential Order for local and non-local reservations. Officials say the question of 15 per cent quota does not arise at all in case of AP students.
The application also specifies an `Overseas Citizenship of India' (OCI) quota. However, in AP there is no OCI or NRI quota. There is only 40 per cent management quota as of now. However, in some states there is 15 per cent OCI/ NRI quota.
Medical education minister Kondru Murali and principal secretary Ratna Kishore refused to comment on this issue saying that the matter is prejudiced and the government can clarify only after the Supreme Court delivers its verdict on whether to exempt some states from NEET. Though the Supreme Court orders were expected on Friday, officials said they have not received any communication to this effect till now.

Online submission of NEET-UG forms begins
Pune,Dec 6
The online window for submission of application forms for the maiden national eligibility cum entrance test for undergraduate (NEET-UG) medical and dental courses is now open. Students can submit their forms by accessing the website - www.cbseneet.nic.in - for the single entrance test, which is to be held on May 5, 2013.
The Maharashtra government has already conveyed to the central government its commitment to be a part of the NEET-UG scheme from 2013 onwards. Consequently, the Maharashtra Health and Technology Common Entrance Test (MHT-CET), which was the combined entrance exam for admissions to the health sciences, engineering and pharmacy degree courses in the state, has been scrapped. The exam has since been renamed MT-CET for the engineering and pharmacy courses.
The state directorate of medical education and research (DMER) has posted a detailed notification related to the NEET-UG, which will be conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The Union government had published the NEET-UG 2013 exam plan for medical and dental admissions in the official gazette on February 15, while the Medical Council of India issued a notification on April 26 declaring that there will be a single national eligibility cum entrance test.
In Maharashtra, the NEET-UG will also be mandatory for admissions to the other health science degree courses such as ayurveda (BAMS), homeopathy ( BHMS), unani (BUMS), physiotheraphy (BPTh), occupational therapy (BOTh), prosthetics and orthotics (BP&O), audiology and speech, language pathology (BASLP), BSc nursing and paramedical technology (BPMT), the DMER notification states.
The DMER has cautioned all candidates aspiring for a seat in health science courses other than medical and dental, to ensure that they appear in the NEET-UG 2013 to qualify for admissions to the other courses. "The state government will not be responsible if such desirous candidates fail to apply for NEET-UG 2013," the notification states.
The NEET will be conducted in 16 cities in the state. In Pune, the DAV Public School on the DP Road, Aundh has been designated as the facilitation centre for the candidates from the city.
An admission notice issued by the CBSE states that the NEET-UG shall consist of one paper containing 180 objective type questions, ie, each question carrying four options with single correct answer, from physics, chemistry and biology (botany and zoology). The duration of the paper would be three hours.NEET-UG important dates.

Odisha Replaces State level medical exam with NEET for medicos
BHUBANESWAR,Nov 29
Putting to rest all speculations, Odisha has finally decided to join the national eligibility-cum-entrance test (NEET 2013), the over-arching pre-medical entrance replacing state-level examinations. "We had some apprehensions. After the Centre agreed to address those, we have agreed to be part of NEET-2013 for undergraduate medical admissions this year. There will be no separate state-level entrance," health secretary Pradipta Kumar Mohapatra told TOI on Wednesday.
Mohapatra had on September 24 expressed the state's apprehension that the test would mean medical seats in state-run colleges might go to students from outside the state. "We had raised certain issues with the health ministry. We are satisfied with the response," he said. The government had sought clarifications about the fate of MBBS seats in case enough Odia students fail to qualify for it. The Centre has clarified that a percentile system will be worked out where states can prepare their own merit lists depending on number of state quota seats (85% of total seats) available there. A separate national merit list will be prepared for filling up 15% seats in all states, which are currently filled from the All India Pre-Medical Entrance Test (AIPMT).
"This would ensure that Odia students continue to occupy 85% seats in the state," Mohapatra said, adding the Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET) would do the counselling for these seats. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will conduct NEET, which is scheduled for May 12, 2013.
Mohapatra said CBSE also agreed to include Koraput as a centre for NEET. Earlier it had chosen only Bhubaneswar and Rourkela as centres. The government had requested for centres in five cities, the other two are Sambalpur and Berhampur, the health secretary said. For medical aspirants, there would be five facilitation centres to help in the application procedure at DAV Chandrasekhapur, Mother's Public School and Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV-I) in Bhubaneswar besides KV-I, Cuttack, and Delhi Public School, Rourkela. Online application procedure for NEET is likely to start from December 1. There would be 180 objective type questions in the three-hour examination.

15 days before Neet, AP students clueless
Hyderabad,Nov 9
The silence on the part of the state government with regard to the National-Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for admission to postgraduate medical courses has been causing mental agony to thousands of PG medical aspirants in AP.
The first-ever Neet is just about 15 days away, but students still don't know whether to take the test or not, whether the test will be held in Andhra Pradesh and whether they will be allowed to take the test.
The Medical Council of India decided to conduct Neet from the coming academic year. The online test is scheduled between November 23 to December 5. The state government, meanwhile, approached the AP High Court, pointing out that Article 371 (D) of the Constitution gives special status to AP for admission to professional courses. The HC stayed Neet in the state. However, a similar case is pending in the Supreme Court, which is expected to hear it later this month. The SC recently transferred to itself 23 cases from various HC relating to petitions challenging Neet. The AP government thus cannot take a decision.

HC stays PG medical National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test
Hyderabad,Nov 7
The AP High Court on Tuesday stopped the Medical Council of India (MCI) from going ahead with its National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) for postgraduate (PG) medical courses for the academic year 2013. The test is scheduled to be held on Nov 23. The HC had in October stayed the same for undergraduate (UG) course.
A division bench comprising Justices V Eswaraiah and N Ravi Shankar ordered a stay after hearing a plea by the state government which said it was aggrieved by the way MCI had planned NEET. The state government accused both the Centre and the MCI of ignoring the special rights conferred to Andhra Pradesh under Article 371(D) of the Constitution. Article 371(D) allows AP to have zone-wise reservations to help its backward areas. Additional advocate general KG Krishna Murthy told the bench that MCI's NEET notification would adversely affect the interests of students from the state. The bench directed the Union health ministry and the MCI to file their counters within two weeks.

Testing time for students due to National Eligibility cum Entrance Test uncertainty
Nagpur,Nov 5
As soon as two students knocked on judiciary's doors against the new medical entrance test, coaching centres across the city were abuzz with rumors on the fate of the exam scheduled for 2013. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) is the central government conducted exam which will replace all other common entrance tests. The petitioners have pleaded before the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court that the state board syllabus is still not at par, thus putting them at a disadvantage.
While the court has given time to the respondents till December 13 to file a reply, students preparing for the crucial exam are in a quandary. Sameer Phale, lecturer at Ambedkar College (Deekshabhoomi), said, "In 2011, similar thing happened and students were a worried lot. Suspense over whether NEET will be conducted in 2012 prevailed almost till the last moment. This year, we had been preparing ourselves assuming that the NEET will be held in 2013, but with the matter now in the court, we will have to wait and watch."
Talking to TOI over the phone, the directorate of medical education and research chief Pravin Shinghare said there are no changes yet. "I am not aware of the development in Nagpur court. Hence, as of now I have to say that NEET shall be held in 2013. But, ultimately, we will follow whatever the court orders us to do," he said.
Chandrakant Satija, who heads the Nagpur branch of a national coaching centre, said, "I don't understand why people go to courts at the last moment? Since last year we are aware that NEET is going to be conducted in 2013. The Supreme Court has cleared it and then the state government approved it. Hence going to courts at the last hour is just putting parents and students in a fix."
A division bench comprising justices Bhushan Gavai and Sunil Deshmukh issued notices to the respondents, including Medical Council of India (MCI), State Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER) and state secretary for Department of Medical Education and Drugs. They were asked to file a reply before December 13, which was fixed as next date of hearing. "Prima facie we find that the policy of holding NEET can't be flouted. However, prior to doing that we are of the view that it will be necessary that the syllabus for entire country is common and the students should be put on same level before they appeared in the test," the judges observed.

NEET to be held in six centres
MYSORE,Nov 4
All states have given their nod for the approval of National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET), which will come into effect next year, said medical education minister S A Ramdas here on Saturday.
Speaking to mediapersons here, the minister said during a meeting of health and medical education ministers in Delhi, Tamil Nadu (which had initially opposed NEET) has also given its approval. In Karnataka, NEET exams will be held in six centres, including Mysore. Question papers will also be in Kannada to help students from rural and those taught in Kannada.
Ramdas said that the Bill - that mandates one year rural service for fresh MBBS graduates -- is all set to get President's consent in a week's time. "Union health minister will take up the issue with the President. Once it gets the consent, there will be 2,500 fresh graduates available every year for rural service. Among them, 1,500 belong to other states as they come under all-India quota and they can opt to work in rural areas of the respective states, if not here, for a monthly stipend of Rs 40,000," he said. Seven north-eastern states, which are facing a scarcity of doctors, are expected to benefit from this.
Speaking on the new medical colleges proposed in the state, he said they will cost Rs 1,400 crore, of which the Centre will bear Rs 1,100 crore, while the state's share is Rs 300 crore.
Approval has been given for starting centres of holistic integrated medicine at KR Hospital (Mysore), Vani Vilas Hospital (Bangalore), and Kims (Hubli). The government has sanctioned Rs 1.22 crore for the purpose. A centre unit worth Rs 60 crore will come up in KR Hospital premises, for which the centre would give Rs 50 crore.

Two entrance exams for medical, allied courses
Kochi,Oct 22
Students and parents are confused with two entrance examinations coming in the way of admissions to medical and allied courses next year in place of just one entrance so far.
For admission to MBBS and BDS courses, students will have to appear for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) while for entry to agriculture, veterinary fisheries, homeopathy, siddha and unani courses, they will need to qualify in the ent-rance exam to be conducted by the Commissioner of Entrance Examinations.
The state had in a strange move, decided to conduct its own entrance for medical-allied courses while joining NEET. Parents say the state should have followed Maharashtra, which had decided to take students for MBBS/BDS and other medical allied courses from the rank list prepared after NEET.
"The move of the state defeats the very purpose for which NEET was devised — to avoid multiple entrances," said Rajan, a parent.
However, commissioner of entrance examinations B.S. Mavoji told DC that entrances to the medical allied courses in state had been incorporated this year as a contingency measure.
"Last year there were also moves at the Centre to conduct NEET, which did not fructify. This year too, nobody is sure that it will happen as some states are opposing it. So, if we have to conduct the entrance on our own, what we need to do now is to add MBBS/BDS to the present list," he said.

Andhra Pradesh high court gives National Eligibility cum Entrance Test relief to Andhra Pradesh
Hyderabad,Oct 19
Wondering why even a state government is feeling vulnerable and knocking the doors of the courts, a division bench of the high court comprising Justice V Eswaraiah and Justice N Ravi Shankar on Wednesday stayed the applicability of National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for Andhra Pradesh for the academic year 2013.
The bench was dealing with a writ petition filed by the principal secretary, medical and health.
The petitioner informed the court that the Article 371 (D) of the Constitution gave special status to the state and the Presidential order provided for local and non local reservations in admissions to professional courses.
The proposed national eligibility (NEET) test nullified the constitutional safeguards. "The rules governing NEET framed by Medical Council of India cannot override the Article 371(D) of the constitution," the government contended.
K G Krishna Murthy, additional advocate general, told the court that the state had to take to judicial recourse to protect the interests of students. The state government had written several letters to the Centre but there was no positive response.
He further contended that the new syllabus with NEET orientation had come into force only last year and the students who studied the first year intermediate with the state syllabus would be at a disadvantage.
The medium of the test -- English and Hindi - would also result in Telugu medium students suffering a severe loss. The prohibition of capitation fee Act and the rules made therein provide for weightage to the intermediate marks while finalising ranks of the students and the NEET rules do not have such provision and the state Act can not be over ruled like this.
The bench granted interim stay and directed the Medical Council of India to file counter affidavit after Dasara vacation.

NEET Decision after SC Verdict
Hyderabad,Oct 19
Despite the AP High Court's interim order on Wednesday staying the National Eligibilitycum-Entrance Test (Neet) in 2013 for admission to MBBS and BDS courses in the state, the confusion over whether students have to opt for Neet or Eamcet in 2013 will continue. The state will make an official announcement about conducting Eamcet medical entrance in 2013 only after the final outcome of the Neet case in the apex court. Several states have approached the SC against Neet and the verdict is expected next week. Officials say clarity over conducting Neet in 2013 will come only after the SC verdict is out.

The new qualifying-cum-entrance examination will be conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) between November 23 and December 6 at selected test centres in 33 cities. The single, mandatory test for admissions to PG medical courses will be online.
Not without problems
But complaints have already started pouring in from candidates. The father of a PG seat aspirant expressed his dissatisfaction with the entire process. When he logged on to register for his son's exam centre, he was shocked to find that all the centres in Bangalore were full on the very first day.
"There were no centres in Bangalore when I logged in. Now my son has to travel to New Delhi to take this exam and I have to spend Rs.10,000 on airfare."
Tight schedules
Another PG medical seat aspirant spoke about the tight schedule as other entrance exams were lined up around the same time. He said: "The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) exam is on November 18, Diplomate of National Board (DNB) exam is from November 17 to 20. The NEET exam is scheduled between November 23 and December 6. As the exams have been advanced, our entire study schedule is affected."
Students also said that the website crashed by Thursday afternoon. Although all the centres were full by Thursday night, some centres were added on Friday morning which brought some relief to students.
First come, first served
However, a press release from Prometric India managing director Soumitra Roy said: "Depending on candidates' Internet connection speed and the number of candidates accessing the registration system, some waiting time can be expected. While we will endeavour to offer as many seats as feasible in candidates' preferred locations, availability is on a first come, first served basis, and we encourage all candidates to select the best available exam slot, register and complete their sessions as quickly as possible."

NEET-PG online registration begins on a chaotic note
Hyderabad,Oct 5
The first day of the application process for NEET-PG entrance examination for admissions to post-graduate medical seats, started on a chaotic note. Not only did the online registration for the examination was glitch-ridden, candidates also complained that the bank they were meant to pay up the examination fee was ill-equipped to handle the huge rush.
The procedure to register for NEET requires candidates to first pay up the examination fee at an Axis bank branch (three branches in the city have been notified) and then register for the examination online, using the voucher given to them by the bank. However, candidates said they had faced problems on both counts. While many students had a problem at the bank as they were unable to get vouchers, most complained of problems during online registration. About 80,000 to 1 lakh candidates are expected to write the newly-introduced PG entrance examination from across the country. An estimated 15,000 candidates will be writing the examination from the state.
The website for registration was inaccessible for most candidates in the city as the server was down due to overload. NEET-PG exam registration is being held from October 4 to November 12. The examination dates are from November 23 to December 6.
Candidates who managed to register themselves for the computer-based examination said that they could not opt for test centres within the state or in neighbouring states. While there are three test centres in the state including two in Hyderabad and one in Vizag, the only available options for several test takers from the state were Guwahati, Patna and Raipur.
Worried candidates stated that NEET-PG, which comes under the purview of National Board of Examination, is the only entrance examination for higher studies in medical education that would guarantee an MD. "The Centre has done away with all the state-level medical PG examinations and hence, NEET is the only chance to get an MD. As there is too much at stake, all candidates are worried about the technical glitches on the first day of registration as they fear that such glitches could surface even on the examination day," said a candidate on the condition of anonymity.
Testing company Prometric is responsible for the online registration of candidates and also for the conduct of NEET-PG examination. Prometric also conducts computer-based Common Admission Test (CAT) for admissions into B schools. Candidates said that Prometric has been rather vague about various aspects of the examination including scoring. "There is no clarity on the syllabus for NEET. Besides, in spite of repeated queries from candidates, Prometric has not revealed the process of scoring though they have vaguely referred to an 'equating and scaling' process of evaluation," said a candidate.
The national board of examination had announced that NEET-PG will be held in January, 2013, however, the examination was advanced to November, candidates rued. "We were given hardly any time to prepare for the examination. It's the moral responsibility of the central government to make sure that no errors creep into the conduct of NEET-PG," said a candidate.

Andhra Pradesh again seeks exemption for students in NEET
Hyderabad,Oct 3
Andhra Pradesh has once again sought exemption for its students from appearing in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) till 2014.
In 2010, the state had agreed to taking part in NEET from 2012 but could not meet the deadline, citing the need for changes in relevant laws as well as the student curriculum.
Today, Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy wrote a letter to Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad requesting exemption from NEET for one more academic year.
"Introduction of NEET would involve certain amendments to the AP Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admissions and Prohibition of Capitation Fee) Act, 1983, and also the Dr NTR University of Health Sciences Act, 1986 under which the State's Common Entrance Test (EAMCET) is held," the Chief Minister said in the letter.
"The EAMCET ranking is based on 25 per cent marks secured in the Intermediate examination and 75 per cent in the EAMCET. The students who joined Intermediate in 2011-12 are eligible for 25% weightage marks. This is as per the provision in the relevant law," he pointed out.
"The NEET syllabus is based on the CBSE curriculum while AP adopted it from the academic year 2012-13. Students joining in 2012-13 would complete the Intermediate course by April, 2014. It would be appropriate for these students to appear for the NEET in 2014 as they would have studied as per the revised curriculum and also would not be eligible for weightage in marks," the Chief Minister added.
"In view of this, I request you to kindly issue orders exempting the State from the proposed National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test 2013," he mentioned.

Centre to double medical seats - By 2021, there will be 80,000 MBBS seats
New Delhi,May 15
The Centre is planning to double the number of medical seats in undergraduate and postgraduate courses to achieve a target of 80,000 MBBS and 45,000 PG seats by 2021, health ministry officials said.The officials said the plan has been mooted to ensure a doctor-patient ratio of 1:1,000 against the current fraction of 1:2,000.
The ministry of health and family welfare is targeting additional 38,431 seats in the MBBS and 22,806 seats in the PG streams by 2021, representing a rise of 92.45 per cent and 102.75 per cent respectively.
The target is 80,000 MBBS seats and 45,000 PG seats by 2021, the officials said at the meeting of Parliamentary Consultative Committee on health chaired by health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad here on Monday. The meeting was called to discuss the scenario of medical infrastructure. At present, there are 41,569 MBBS seats in the 335 medical colleges across India and 22,194 PG seats.
However, most of these seats and medical colleges are concentrated in the southern and western states with the central Indian states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh barely getting any share in medical infrastructure.
Ministry's latest data shows that 66 per cent of the 335 medical colleges and 69 per cent of the current MBBS seats are located at present in the Southern and Western states, including Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Goa. Eastern India, comprising Bihar and West Bengal, which feature among the five most populous states, have 10 per cent just 9 per cent MBBS seats. Common med. entrance tests from 2013 ¦ The proposed common exams for admission to MBBS and MD courses all over the country will be held from the next academic session, health ministry officials said. The officials told MPs at the Consultative Committee Meeting on Health that the proposed common tests, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Undergraduate (NEET-UG) and Postgraduate (NEET-PG) medical courses, have been notified for commencement from 2013-14. The common entrance tests for admission to MBBS and MD courses have been notified on February 25, this year for commencement from academic year 2013-14 they said. The NEET for admission to UG courses would be conducted by the CBSE and the NEET for PG courses would be carried out by the National Board of Examinations, they added.

AFMC Entrance Exam scrapped, merged with NEET from 2013
Hyderabad,Feb 10
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will be conducting National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET) in 2013 where students willing to apply for Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) will have to mention AFMC as their preference of choice. Though AFMC will be conducting online admissions this year, from 2013 onwards the institute has decided to scrap off its entrance exam.
This year AFMC entrance exam is scheduled to be held on May 6, 2012.
Director General of Armed Forces Medical Services (DG-AFMS), while attending the 50th armed forces medical research committee meeting and 60th conference of medical forces revealed that the MBBS program will commence in the month of August and admissions for the course will be held online.
Earlier AFMC raised objections in accepting NEET for admissions to the medical courses as they have certain criterias for selecting students in armed forces. However, the institute still will conduct its own aptitude test for the students qualifying NEET and opting for AFMC.
The DG -AFMS expressed that the Medical Council of India (MCI) has added more number of seats to post graduate courses so that they can create large number of specialists. He also added that various nursing colleges offering diploma courses will now offer degree programs.
The academic committee also discussed about various issues including evaluation methods of training and teaching efficiency and how to measure the objectives. The DG-AFMS also added that medical research committee will evaluate 167 award winning projects and research proposals on the topics such as compatibility in aircraft cockpit and anthropometric changes related to age in air crew and others.

Common Syllabus for 10+2 courses
Hyderabad,Jan 21
The Union ministry of HRD has announced plans to bring in a common national engineering entrance exam for students who will be admitted to the 10+2 courses in the academic year 2012-13. "The HRD ministry is making all efforts to conduct a national common entrance test for engineering admissions from 2014.
We are negotiating with all the state governments for that purpose," said Ms Daggupati Purandeshwari, minister of state, UMHRD. She also said a national common syllabus at 10+2 level is being worked on. "Some states have already agreed to this and we are confident of bringing a consensus on the issue among all the states." Explaining the reason forthe decision, she said, "The idea is to provide a levelplaying field for all students irrespective of the boards they opt for at state and national level." There are also plans to give weightage for 10+2 marks in the engineering entrance exam. The common syllabus will ensure that there will not be any disparity when giving weightage for 10+2 marks across the country." She said there was initial resistance to Neet from several states, including AP.
"The point was to inform students about any changes two years in advance when they take admissions in 10+2 courses. The MCI has announced that Neet will be applicable to fresh batch of students who take admission in the coming academic year 2012-13. All the states agreed to this," she added.

Will look into Davy's extradition, says Danish PM
By Express News Service - NEW DELHI
Published: 09th November 2012 10:20 AM
Last Updated: 09th November 2012 10:20 AM
Denmark has assured that it will re-examine the "techno-legal aspects" of the possible extradition of Purulia arms drop mastermind Kim Davy, after the Danish Government had previously turned down India's request for his extradition.
This assurance was conveyed by Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt during her meeting with External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid on the sidelines of the ASEM summit earlier this week.
"I am pleased to report the Prime Minister was very receptive to the information that I gave, and also said that techno-legal examination afresh is called for and will be done by them," he told reporters on Thursday.
In June 2011, Denmark's High Court had refused the CBI's request for extradition of Davy, on the grounds of "torture or other inhuman treatment". India had approached the Danish Government to appeal in Supreme Court, but it was turned down, claiming that no more fresh appeals were possible under Danish law.
On December 17, 1995, a Latvian aircraft dropped 240 AK-47 rifles, 10 rocket launchers and 81 anti-tank grenades over Purulia in West Bengal. The arms were allegedly meant for an organisation called Anand Marg which wanted to revolt against the Communist party government in the state. Davy, the prime conspirator in the sensational arms drop case, along with Peter Bleach, a retired British Air force pilot, allegedly hatched the entire conspiracy.
After being a fugitive for years, Davy was caught in Denmark on the basis of an Interpol Red Corner Notice in 2001. After his arrest, the mastermind of the Purulia operation claimed that the Indian agencies were also involved in the arms drop case and the Air Force's radar in this area was switched off so that the aircraft was not picked up when it flew in to drop the arms.

Maximum of four seasons as expected for any place in New England. Winters can be brutal at times.
nothing to complain about... its just cold
Well, it's the inner-city: Newark to be exact. New Jersey is a north-east state, so it feels like Florida in the summer, and Maine in the winter.
Frequent snowstorms this winter has caused numerous class cancellations. The spring semester calendar may need to be adjusted because of this.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
NJIT students should not expect for Newark weather to reach above 75 F, except during early September and in late April or May. The temperature tends to hover between 50 and 70 F during a majority of the time school is in session. The temperature has been known to go to 80, even 90, and drop down as low as 20. These periods do not last long outside of December or January.
Students should expect a notable amount of cloudiness and rain. In addition, the wind can sometimes be quite biting. It is important that students bring clothing that protects them from such conditions.

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related gene, MR1, is a non-classical MHC class IA gene and is encoded outside the MHC region. The MR1 is responsible for activation of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells expressing semi-invariant T cell receptors in the presence of bacteria, but its ligand has not been identified. A unique characteristic of MR1 is its high evolutionary conservation of the α1 and α2 domains corresponding to the peptide-binding domains of classical MHC class I molecules, showing about 90 % amino acid identity between human and mouse. To clarify the evolutionary history of MR1 and identify more critically conserved residues for the function of MR1, we searched for the MR1 gene using jawed vertebrate genome databases and isolated the MR1 cDNA sequences of marsupials (opossum and wallaby). A comparative genomic analysis indicated that MR1 is only present in placental and marsupial mammals and that the gene organization around MR1 is well conserved among analyzed jawed vertebrates. Moreover, the α1 and α2 domains, especially in amino acid residues presumably shaping a ligand-binding groove, were also highly conserved between placental and marsupial MR1. These findings suggest that the MR1 gene might have been established at its present location in a common ancestor of placental and marsupial mammals and that the shape of the putative ligand-binding groove in MR1 has been maintained, probably for presenting highly conserved component(s) of microbes to MAIT cells.

333 Wacker Drive - Kohn, Pedersen & Fox
333 Wacker Drive, Chicago, the building that in 1983 inspired amost on its own an urban renewal around inner Chicago -- and it wasnt so bad for the career of Eugene Kohh, William Pedersen and Sheldon Fox either. Twenty-three years later the building has been so widely emulated that it might be difficult to see it with fresh eyes, but in its day this building was a word-beater in the way it integrated its site context, and wrapped it up so elegantly.
To some eyes, mine for instance, it still is.

I am unsure if this is a setting I missed somewhere, but I have checked that the timezone for the WordPress is correct, and it is.
When looking at the "Week" view on the Calendar, the time list starts at 4 PM and stops at 3PM. The events that we add to the calendar have the correct time listed, but doesn't appear to show up in the right box on the actual list.
See http://www.villagegamer.net/images/calendar_times.jpg for an example of what I mean.
The events are showing up in the right boxes (the one listed as starting at 7 AM is in the 8th box, which would be for events starting at 7 AM) but the times listed down the far left column are way off.
Is this a bug, or is it a setting I am not noticing somewhere?
