Looking forward to our first trip to San Diego for a BYU bowl game since the
National Championship clinching game in 1984.
I really hope Lark starts, but would like to see Riley get in as well, maybe on some 3rd and 3 situations.
Go Cougs!

I wouldn't be surprised to see a long term relationship between the Poinsetta and BYU. I've also heard some rumblings that the Holiday Bowl isn't very excited about getting the Big 12 #5 team any more. When it was the 5th place team in a conference of 12 it meant more than getting the 5th place team in a conference of 10 teams.

You may, but I don't believe Utah has SDSU on their upcoming schedule do they? So are you referring to 2020 or some other time in the far future?
Or were you referring to your and your buddies in EA Sports College Football 2012 on XBOX, you know, since your team isn't going to a bowl game at all?

""The Poinsettia Bowl and the Holiday Bowls are equals. "
Really??? If you say so, I'm sure we all believe it !
Why do people say things like this to fuel the fire.

This paper presents a visual-servoing method for compensating motion of soft tissue structures using 4D ultra-sound. The motion of soft tissue structures caused by physiological and external motion makes it difficult to investigate them for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The main goal is to track non-rigidly moving soft tissue structures and compensate the motion in order to keep a lesion on its target position during a treatment. We define a 3D non-rigid motion model by extending the Thin-Plate Spline (TPS) algorithm. The motion parameters are estimated with intensity-value changes of a points set in a tracking soft tissue structure. Finally, the global rigid motion is compensated with a 6-DOF robot according to the motion parameters of the tracking structure. Simulation experiments are performed with recorded 3D US images of in-vivo soft tissue structures and validate the effectiveness of the non-rigid motion tracking method. Robotic experiments demonstrated the success of our method with a deformable phantom.

Mike Ashley has to be the dumbest son of a bitch alive. He's trying to sell Newcastle United after the fans and Kelvin Koogan turned on him and now Ashley thinks some Nigerian consortium is going to pay his £400 million asking price.
I was pretty sure Ashley was being scammed in one of those email fishing frauds. Now, I am sure after a devious UF reader sent in the email Mr. Ashley received with the offer to purchase the club.
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2008 08:58:18 (GMT)
From: Moses Odiaka [firstname.lastname@example.com]
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: CONFIDENTIAL PROPOSAL
Dear Mr. Mike Ashley,
My name is Mr.Moses Odiaka.I work in the credit and accounts department of Union Bank of NigeriaPlc,Lagos, Nigeria. I write you in respect of a number of our investors at Union Bank. The heavans have presented Nigeria with vast mineral and oil deposits. Many Nigerians have done well because of this and are now searching for grand investment opportunities to diversity their holdings. I approach you with their interest in Newcastle Soccer Club.
They are prepared to offer you 280 million british pound sterling for your interest in the team. To get this money we only ask that you tranfer your interest in the team to a Nigerian holding trust escrow account. Once that is done we can secure the funds for your payment and all sides will be happy with the end result.
To do this, I will need your full name and address telephone/fax number,company or residential, also your bank name and account, where the Newcastle interest will be transfer from. This is necessary for the escrow holding trust to be set up in Nigeria. Once this is complete our transaction will be all but done.
When you contact me, then we shall discuss on how the money will be delivered.I am currently in europe for a six months course,you can reach me on this number for further discussion 0031 623 866 723.Kindly send your reply to my private email address stated below email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Trusting to hear from you,
I remain Respectfully yours,
Mr Moses Odiaka.
firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
(0031 623 866 723)
Even my grandma doens't fall for these scams…any more.
I have to hand to the Nigerians though, they are really playing out the string on this confidence game. They are telling the Toon fans that the Geordie Messiah, Mr. Koogan, will return if they succeed in the purchase of the Tyneside club.

Late Nite FDL: Where Do I Sign to Sell Out?
Well, this is interesting. It seems that the Petroleum Institute is taking Right Wing Bloggers on all-expense-paid travel junkets to view some new construction projects and spread the word that, in fact, Big Oil is Wise and Good and Strong and only has the best interests of the American people at heart.
I will travel the next two days to Houston and Corpus Christi on a tour arranged by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The tour includes other bloggers, including Bruce McQuain of QandO, who announced it earlier today. We will take a tour of Chevron's Blind Faith platform before they deploy it — a platform designed to pump a new field in the Gulf of Mexico. We will also tour their visualization center, get a briefing on deepwater drilling, and have a lengthy Q&A session with Chevron representatives.
Obviously, I hope to get a better perspective on oil drilling, the petroleum industry, and energy policy as a result.
Because there couldn't possibly be any better way to get straight answers out of the petroleum industry than to let them assume total responsibility for your well-being for several days as they ply you with food, alcohol, and disinformation. God damn. Could these two jokers be any closer to a surprise upset in the competition with front-runners O'Hanlon and Pollack for the "Overly Credulous Rubes of the Year, 2007" award? Doesn't anyone but me find it a little humorous that the new oil rig they took these Right Wing stool-pigeons to view is called "Blind Faith"?
I talk a lot about the pride I see in our military about their profession, their equipment and what they do. I saw the same level of pride and professionalism in (Chevron Employee) Emile (Beaudreaux). He is personally invested in this project and he can't wait to make it a producing facility. I found his pride and sense of ownership to be both impressive and assuring. We often think of big oil companies as monolithic faceless giants that don't give a good hoot about anything but profit. Mr. Beaudreaux and many others I met, showed me a significantly different and praiseworthy side and one the oil industry needs to spend a bit of time and energy presenting to the public out there. Good people.
Mmmm, yeah. The petroleum industry is packed to the rafters with "good people", of course. The oil and gas industry are, in fact, staffed entirely by people who reside permanently on Santa Claus's "Nice" list, whereas Santa hates bad old liberal, environmentally conscious people who think maybe we should look for other sources of energy than oil. We are perennial residents of the "Naughty" column because, God knows, Santa took a beating when his Enron stocks tanked, and the rest of his portfolio is pretty heavily weighted still toward the petro-industrial complex.
But you know, whatevs.
Remember not so long ago when a Certain Wingnut Blogger (who shall remain brainless) got his Aquaman Underoos in a knot because he thought Apple was paying me to hype the iPhone?
I just know that only the lefties get the goodies, like all-expenses-paid trips to Amsterdam, so it doesn't really matter if he pimps the iPhone or not, and I think he knows that too.
Anyway, as I'm on the right wing and am definitely not getting any free swag from Apple, as I have no opinions to influence besides a bunch of drooling imbeciles whose idea of a really hot new invention is a "fidjo" (which is just a fiddle with a banjo glued to its back), I can, clean of all mercenary motives, declare emphatically that I could give a rat's ass about Steve Jobs or his darling little techsessories and fashion-forward widgets.
TRex– enjoy the phone. Should prompt literally duos of conversations.
TBogg had the best analysis of the situation, as I recall:
Envy is thin because it bites but never eats. – Spanish Proverb
Shorter Ace:
I think I'll try passive-aggressive whining about not getting free stuff in the hope that it will get me some free stuff
Maybe TRex will let him have the box to live in.
Well, shock of shocks, I still don't have an iPhone (nor do I particularly want one), nor have I ever, ever blogged about something because someone was paying me to do it or offering me a free trip to anywhere, on or off an oil rig. But you know, I'm open to the idea. I never said my motives were pure. I'm basically just here because I get off on the attention, but if shiny new consumer items were thrown into the mix, I believe that I could make some room in my panoply of motivations for simple greed and object-lust.
Maybe J. Crew would like to give me one of everything in their winter catalog in exchange for a series of essays about how good my butt looks in their new slim-cut khakis. I know they'll do it because I'm a Liberal, see, and since Conservatives are the most trodden-upon of all the trod-upon minorities in the US, it would only take my having to ask, and those parcels would start stacking up at my door before you can say, "Payola!"
Are you listening, Hillary campaign? I've said before that I'm not leaning particularly in your candidate's direction, but perhaps a lifetime supply of pudding cups would help my thinking on this issue. Or maybe a free trip to visit Jane and my family who live in DC for New Year's.
In fact, I'm sure Peter Daou has just dropped everything and is frantically emailing people to get my phone number. Call me!
What about you guys? Has Mr. Soros dropped any hints about what he'll be bringing down your chimney this year? The Lexus coupe he gave me last year is starting to look a little used. But maybe this year he'll finally give me that pony (in addition to the seven figures he pays me per annum to attack marriage and subvert traditional values).
Hey, whaddya know? Selling out is kind of fun, isn't it?

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
I thought it would be an interesting look into our nation's political cartoon history if, this month, I took a look at a different editorial cartoon each day that won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. Do note that we're talking basically 1922-1967 here, as since then, the Committee has almost always awarded cartoonists generally for their work, not for an exemplary single cartoon. So in many ways, this is a snapshot of American politics (for better or for worse) over a forty-five year period. Here is an archive of the cartoons featured thus far.
Today we look at Tom Little's 1957 award-winning cartoon.
Tom Little (1898-1972) began working at The Tennessean (now known as The Nashville Tennessean) in 1918, while he was still in school. He stayed with the paper until his retirement in 1970 (he passed away two years later), over fifty years of service!
He began doing whatever was needed of him (police reporter, etc.) but he eventually worked his way into the paper as a cartoonist, both as a news/editorial cartoonist and also as the creator of the popular nationally syndicated comic strip, Sunflower Strip.
He drew Sunflower Strip for 15 years but actually ceased the strip in 1950 due to concerns from editors that his comic, which detailed the adventures of southern blacks, was seen as looking down upon his subjects, something Little took great issue with, but decided it better to stop the strip than to continue if that was how people were seeing it.
Little was a harsh caricaturist of politics, and he was quite an aggressive pursuer of issues that he felt needed to be brought to light, often in a very harsh, "take it to them" approach.
That's why it's interesting to note that the cartoon that won him the Pulitzer Prize was a bit more of a whimsical cartoon (although it, too, was a pointed cartoon at an issue that troubled Little).
People today are quite familiar with the notion of parents resisting immunizing/vaccinating their children, and that has been an issue for decades, and that is what Little decided to go after with his 1956 cartoon, depicting a child whose parents did not seek out the Polio vaccine that became available in 1955.
"Wonder Why My Parents Didn't Give Me Salk Shots?"
Pretty harsh (I love the detail of the children playing).
However, while obviously Little, having actually, you know, LIVED through it, has a better perspective on the subject than I do fifty-odd years later, I find it interesting to note that if there were ever a vaccination where parental apathy was NOT really a problem, it was the polio vaccine.
Jonas Salk, who developed the vaccine, instantly became as famous as President Eisenhower. He was such a celebrity that even today, Jonas Salk's name is well-known to almost all Americans. When the polio vaccine was released, DEMAND was the issue – there was not nearly enough supply to meet the demand for the vaccine, and in fact, a charitable foundation (now known as the March of Dimes) had to be formed just to allow the vaccines to be distributed in any sort of a reasonable manner.
If you were to pick a group that DID have less access to the vaccine, it would be the poor, who A. Had less organized access to the vaccine and B. Had less ability to pay for it.
Salk charged $2 a pop for the vaccine, and doctors normally just charged $3-5 for it, but some charged a helluva lot more. However, following a late 1950s outbreak of polio in the ghettos of a number of major American cities (although not the South, I do not believe), there was a movement to make the vaccine more affordable, probably about $10 today, adjusted for inflation.
So it's interesting to see Little highlight parental apathy regarding the polio vaccine. Still, it's a powerful cartoon against parental apathy PERIOD, and hell, what do I really know about the state of vaccinations in Tennessee in 1956? I can't say that Little is wrong, really. I can say it is a great-looking cartoon.
Amazingly appropriate still (at least in the UK) with regards to all the media scare regarding the MMR, and how many parents decided not to immunise their kids against Measles, Mumps and Rubella AT ALL… (understandable in a way… seperate jabs work out to around £100 EACH, combined MMR is free on the NHS)
Leading to people predicting a either an epidemic of Measles/Mumps/Rubella OR a sudden increase in the number of autistic children, depending on what you believed at the time…
I'm amazed that the Blair administration never used a modified version of this cartoon as an ad to promote the MMR vaccine..
Polio Vaccine Problems
"Until the advent of the Salk vaccine in 1955, the only prescription for extreme cases of polio was years of physical therapy and bed rest. Yet even so, in the three decades preceding the vaccine, the death rate from polio declined in the United States by 47 percent and in England by 55 percent. When mass inoculations began in the U.S., accompanied by stirring stories in Life magazine on Salk as the great healer of the century, the incidences of polio increased sharply. In Massachusetts, to take an extreme example, there were 273 cases of polio in the year leading up to August 30, 1954, when the vaccine was introduced statewide. One year later, there were 2,027 cases.
The correlation in other states and in England, though more modest, was striking enough that doctors at the National Institute of Health in the 1950s declared the vaccine "worthless as a preventive and dangerous to take." They also refused to take it themselves or give it to their children.
Not until 1976 did Dr. Salk acknowledge publicly that his vaccine was likely the "principal if not sole cause" of all reported polio cases in the U.S., since 1961. More recently, the Centers for Disease Control admitted that 87 percent of all polio cases in the U.S. between 1973 and 1983 has been caused by the vaccine, with all cases between 1980 and 1989 attributable to it. By then, tens of thousands of people may have contracted polio needlessly, even as the drug companies that marketed the vaccine made windfall profits."

The Dubious Legacy of Vaccines, Chapter 4
All of which has nothing to do with vaccines today.
Great, great cartoon. Very appropriate too, as you point out, Brian.
Now regarding "the dubious legacy of vaccines"…
If I wanted to refer to an authoritative scientific figure to back my beliefs that vaccines represent a threat to health, I would certainly not choose a quack who writes books on "holistic natural methods for the treatment of pets". I'd choose people who publish *actual* scientific papers.
The polio vaccine has all but eradicated this terrible scourge in the western world. Ditto for the vaccinia virus, which protects us from smallpox. Although it is true that vaccines WILL cause adverse reactions in a small number of people, and that some of these folks may get seriously ill or even die, these numbers are very small indeed and do not represent a valid argument against the immense benefits of vaccination for the population at large.
The benefits and risks of any treatment is determined by scientific studies, not by rumors spread by luddites and alternative quackery gurus. And that's just the way it is.
– Roquefort Raider,
who happens to be a Ph.D. in molecular biology (So I outrank Dr Goldstein! Nyah, nyah!)
I'm sorry, just because I think I'm so much smarter than a "quack" who writes books on "holistic natural" stuff, doesn't mean what he said is wrong.
These numbers must have come from somewhere, perhaps a "scientific" study (47 percent and in England 55 & 273 cases of polio in the year leading up to August 30, 1954, when the vaccine was introduced statewide. One year later, there were 2,027 & 87 percent between 1973 and 1983 for example)
& direct quotes (National Institute of Health in the 1950s declared the vaccine "worthless as a preventive and dangerous to take." & Dr. Salk acknowledge publicly that his vaccine was likely the "principal if not sole cause" of all reported polio cases in the U.S., since 1961 & Centers for Disease Control admitted that 87 percent of all polio cases in the U.S. between 1973 and 1983 has been caused by the vaccine, with all cases between 1980 and 1989 attributable to it – not sure if the last one is a direct quote, but if it's true, it's true)
I apologize for being a hypocritical luddite quack.

Former top Brazil aide sentenced for corruption
SAO PAULO Brazil's Supreme Court has sentenced the former top aide of ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to nearly 11 years in prison on corruption charges.
Jose Dirceu was Silva's all-powerful chief of staff, but he was found guilty of orchestrating a cash-for-votes bribery scheme to win support for the president's proposals in congress. News of the scheme broke in 2005.
The top court on Monday sentenced him to 10 years and 10 months in prison. It wasn't clear when he would begin serving the time.
The political corruption trial is seen as a turning point toward cleaner governance in the country.
Twenty five people have been convicted on charges related to the case, including members of the ruling Workers Party, allied parties and people from the business sector.

Persecutted Jews flee as servantsBreaking News
As the Nazis tightened their grip on power in the late 1930s, Jews in Germany and Austria began to fear for their safety. Many fled abroad using well-documented methods such as the Kindertransport. But less well known is the story of thousands of Jewish women who fled to the UK by getting jobs as domestic servants.
When Natalie Huss-Smickler arrived in England in 1938 as a 26-year-old, she found her new job as a domestic servant something of a shock compared with her secretarial work back home in Vienna.
"My first job in England was very, very hard," she says. "I had to work from 8am to 11pm with an hour's break, cleaning and scrubbing and looking after the house, with half a day off a week.
"After a few weeks I complained, saying it's a bit too hard. The lady of the house said, 'If it's too much for you, I'll send you back to Hitler.'"...

"… I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith, to be content" (Philippians 4:11).
I have some dear friends that are going through what some would term "tough times." Each of them is hurting in different ways and needs a friend, helping hand, and kind words. I thought about the old adage, "Tough times don't last, but tough people do." But then I asked myself, "Do we really want to be thought of by those we love as 'tough people'?" I realize the word "tough" is relative, and I think I know what the writer of that little bit of sage advice meant, but I find I still question the meaning.
While talking to a young man the other day about the Lord and His work, we each spoke about reading the Bible. I was interested to hear the very well educated fellow say, "It doesn't really do me any good to read the Bible or go to church. I just can't seem to remember very much of it any time later." He's in good company. Well, perhaps not good company, but joined by big numbers.
I am always excited when I meet a new Christian or someone that has decided to come back from a life of sin and shame to the things of God. They are excited, happy and generally open to learning everything they can about the Word of God and the things of God. They usually want to be around other Christian people and cannot seem to get enough of talking about how God has worked in their lives.
When I was growing up in a lake community in rural Georgia, I was among the minority in my school classroom. Almost everyone I knew had a biological mother and father and maybe a brother or sister or two living in their family home. Mommy had married daddy, and they were all set to live happily every after, many of them in neat, white-framed or brick houses with perfectly matched picket fences and flower gardens.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Research Institution:
AbstractApplied Systems Intelligence proposes to design an intelligent control architecture based on our associate system technology to provide a UAV-equipped medic team the ability to autonomously coordinate activities in a combat environment. In Phase I, ASI will document the specific demands on this type of system, design an architecture that includes associate system software for integrated combat intelligence, and model the command and control knowledge base for operating a UAV medevac system. ASI will develop a set of use cases that capture the role of associate system technology in various stages of the combat evacuation process. Each stage features a different primary team member, but still demonstrates the ability of the integrated intelligence to share relevant information during the evacuation. The five primary elements of the UAV medevac team are: the Field Medic, the UAV Dispatcher, the UAV, the Combat Support Hospital, and the Virtual Nurse in the casualty bay of the UAV. ASI will identify potential teammates for demonstrating the system design in future phases. This effort will easily transition into Phase II where we will integrate this associate system C2 architecture and software to demonstrate the autonomous collaboration capabilities between a representative human medic and surrogate UAV.

The laws of gravity did not stop governing Mercury. To break it, it must have been outside the influence of the laws of gravity and this is not the case. The laws of gravity govern everything (including mercury) in this universe at all times with NO (ZER0) exceptions.
First of all I did not make this principle up that is found in the laws of nature. Its sad the scientific method foundation does not rest on the law of non-contradiction. All of the scientific data and statements from any subject in the scientific field fail if it violates this law or principle. Here is the definition to my principles found in the laws of nature.
contradictory statements cannot both be true in the same sense at the same time, e.g. the two propositions "A is B" and "A is not B" are mutually exclusive.
>>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_noncontra...
For example, The laws of nature either governs all in the universe or dont. For your method of reasoning to say that mercury broke the law of nature you claimed that the laws of gravity found in nature is un-able to govern it when mercury breaks it. So now I apply the law of non-contradiction to your statement,The orbit of Mercury breaks the law of gravity". Before even using the scientific method I know your statement violates the law of non-contradiction and dismiss your statement because either the law governs mercury or dont and the laws of gravity is constant in the universe.
AGAIN, do the laws of gravity govern mercury or dont? To break it mercury must make the laws of nature stop governing it. I think not!
You got your scientific method when it comes to interpreting data
My scientific method which is founded on the law of non-contradiction checks the integrity of the information gathered by your scientific method. Thats right, the information that you spew from your lips is governed by the laws of nature also and this law shows me how to discredit information that violates its principle.

Well when it comes to cosmology we have to admit, we don't know everything. But we do know a great deal, enough to fill thousands of terabytes of hard drives. This is with observations alone of the early universe regarding solar system, stellar, and planetary formation. We however have not completely solved nor seen how the universe and early galactic formation took place. But because we do not know everything, does not mean we don't know anything.
That would be you , that does not know anything. You relish in it and hide your god in a place of stupidity. Not a particularly strong place to bargain your ideas from.

Yet we had a law of gravity. Worked out by some guy called Newton (you may have heard of him). Mercury violates that law.
It does.
Then since Mercury violates that law then the law must be wrong.
After all, "laws" are merely abstract concepts invented by humans as a guideline for expected actions either in culture or in practical/scientific principles.
Yet evolution doesn't violate it. Mercury does. Ergo the "law" of gravity is simply wrong, which is why it got replaced by the THEORY of relativity. Which is in turn being replaced by the theory of quantum mechanics. Whereas evolution on the other hand MAY contradict YOUR so-called "law" re: species, however reality shows that it contradicts your "law". Ergo your claims about species are simply incorrect and life can and does change over time, which does NOT violate any laws of non-contradiction. It merely contradicts your assumption that evolution did not and cannot happen. However your baseless opinions aren't relevant.(shrug)

Any person who truly searches impartially for the actualities of science or any official ivestigator will find the Bible to be truth. Precise application of facts or principles can be gathered and true knowledge of the physical or material world can be gained through observation and experimentation pertaining to the common idea of recurring events or phenomena which are a sequence of changing states that, upon completion, produce a final state like the original one. The Bible clearly teaches that common traits are in natures charcter. Nature produces examples of kinds and living things make propagation following patterns of form to bring the kind about again or anew in any manner to bear fruitful offspring. Natural markings are in kinds which are configurations with distinctive style, or form and a combination of qualities form a consistent characteristic arrangement. The laws and principles that guide the whole universe are a result of inborn or inherent qualities which are following a method of arranged order and material things are systematically comprised. SCPID theory contemplates and explains these truths.

"Although the concepts of a law or principle in nature is borderline to philosophy, and presents the depth to which mathematics can describe nature, scientific laws are considered from a scientific perspective and follow the scientific method; they "serve their purpose" rather than "questioning reality" (philosophical) or "statements of logical absolution" (mathematical). For example, whether a law "refers to reality" is a philosophical issue, rather than scientific.
Fundamentally, all scientific laws follow from physics, laws which occur in other sciences ultimately follow from physical laws. Often, from mathematically fundamental viewpoints, universal constants emerge from scientific laws."
>>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_science
The "law of non-contradiction" is a concept of a law or principle in nature.
Do you see the universal constant principle found in scientific laws. This means non-changing and if it changes with an opposing idea this would be a "contradictory" of the universal constant principle found in a scientific law that is backed with empirical evidence. It is this principle extracted from a scientific law that is backed with the empirical data that followed the scientific method I use to validate The law of non-contradiction, which is the foundation to my scientific reasoning I use to interpret all things found in the laws of nature.

This indirect mode of interaction is time consuming, error prone and can lead to poor usability of OR computer systems. This thesis describes the design and evaluation of a joystick-like device that allows direct surgeon control of the computer in the OR. The device was tested extensively in comparison to a mouse and delegated dictation with seven surgeons, eleven residents, and five graduate students. The device contains no electronic parts, is easy to use, is unobtrusive, has no physical connection to the computer and makes use of an existing tool in the OR. We performed a user study to determine its effectiveness in allowing a user to perform all the tasks they would be expected to perform on an OR computer system during a computer-assisted surgery. Dictation was found to be superior to the joystick in qualitative measures, but the joystick was preferred over dictation in user satisfaction responses. The mouse outperformed both joystick and dictation, but it is not a readily accepted modality in the OR. Description: Thesis (Master, Computing) -- Queen's University, 2011-05-24 12:27:57.998 2016-06-29T04:00:00Z Computational models for improved diagnosis and prognosis of stroke using robot-based biomarkers Mostafavi Taraghi, SAYYED MOSTAFA http://hdl.handle.net/1974/14563 2016-06-15T05:12:00Z 2016-06-14T04:00:00Z Title: Computational models for improved diagnosis and prognosis of stroke using robot-based biomarkers Authors: Mostafavi Taraghi, SAYYED MOSTAFA Abstract: Stroke is a leading cause of death and permanent disability worldwide, affecting millions of individuals. Traditional clinical scores for assessment of stroke-related impairments are inherently subjective and limited by inter-rater and intra-rater reliability, as well as floor and ceiling effects. In contrast, robotic technologies provide objective, highly repeatable tools for quantification of neurological impairments following stroke. KINARM is an exoskeleton robotic device that provides objective, reliable tools for assessment of sensorimotor, proprioceptive and cognitive brain function by means of a battery of behavioral tasks. As such, KINARM is particularly useful for assessment of neurological impairments following stroke. This thesis introduces a computational framework for assessment of neurological impairments using the data provided by KINARM. This is done by achieving two main objectives. First, to investigate how robotic measurements can be used to estimate current and future abilities to perform daily activities for subjects with stroke. We are able to predict clinical scores related to activities of daily living at present and future time points using a set of robotic biomarkers. The findings of this analysis provide a proof of principle that robotic evaluation can be an effective tool for clinical decision support and target-based rehabilitation therapy. The second main objective of this thesis is to address the emerging problem of long assessment time, which can potentially lead to fatigue when assessing subjects with stroke. To address this issue, we examine two time reduction strategies. The first strategy focuses on task selection, whereby KINARM tasks are arranged in a hierarchical structure so that an earlier task in the assessment procedure can be used to decide whether or not subsequent tasks should be performed. The second strategy focuses on time reduction on the longest two individual KINARM tasks. Both reduction strategies are shown to provide significant time savings, ranging from 30% to 90% using task selection and 50% using individual task reductions, thereby establishing a framework for reduction of assessment time on a broader set of KINARM tasks. All in all, findings of this thesis establish an improved platform for diagnosis and prognosis of stroke using robot-based biomarkers. Description: Thesis (Ph.D, Computing) -- Queen's University, 2016-06-09 14:15:08.059 2016-06-14T04:00:00Z Computational Methods for Identifying Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy using 12-lead ECG Rahman, QUAZI http://hdl.handle.net/1974/14506 2016-06-02T17:06:37Z 2016-06-02T04:00:00Z Title: Computational Methods for Identifying Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy using 12-lead ECG Authors: Rahman, QUAZI Abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a cardiovascular disease where the heart muscle is partially thickened and blood flow is - potentially fatally - obstructed. It is one of the leading causes of sudden cardiac death in young people. Electrocardiography (ECG) and Echocardiography (Echo) are the standard tests for identifying HCM and other cardiac abnormalities. The American Heart Association has recommended using a pre-participation questionnaire for young athletes instead of ECG or Echo tests due to considerations of cost and time involved in interpreting the results of these tests by an expert cardiologist. Initially we set out to develop a classifier for automated prediction of young athletes' heart conditions based on the answers to the questionnaire. Classification results and further in-depth analysis using computational and statistical methods indicated significant shortcomings of the questionnaire in predicting cardiac abnormalities. Automated methods for analyzing ECG signals can help reduce cost and save time in the pre-participation screening process by detecting HCM and other cardiac abnormalities. Therefore, the main goal of this dissertation work is to identify HCM through computational analysis of 12-lead ECG. ECG signals recorded on one or two leads have been analyzed in the past for classifying individual heartbeats into different types of arrhythmia as annotated primarily in the MIT-BIH database. In contrast, we classify complete sequences of 12-lead ECGs to assign patients into two groups: HCM vs. non-HCM. The challenges and issues we address include missing ECG waves in one or more leads and the dimensionality of a large feature-set. We address these by proposing imputation and feature-selection methods. We develop heartbeat-classifiers by employing Random Forests and Support Vector Machines, and propose a method to classify full 12-lead ECGs based on the proportion of heartbeats classified as HCM. The results from our experiments show that the classifiers developed using our methods perform well in identifying HCM. Thus the two contributions of this thesis are the utilization of computational and statistical methods for discovering shortcomings in a current screening procedure and the development of methods to identify HCM through computational analysis of 12-lead ECG signals. Description: Thesis (Ph.D, Computing) -- Queen's University, 2016-06-01 15:56:26.134 2016-06-02T04:00:00Z Assisting End-users in Filling Out Web Services Wang, SHAOHUA http://hdl.handle.net/1974/14486 2016-06-02T05:11:54Z 2016-06-01T04:00:00Z Title: Assisting End-users in Filling Out Web Services Authors: Wang, SHAOHUA Abstract: With the quick advance of web service technologies, end-users can conduct various on-line tasks, such as shopping on-line. Usually, end-users compose a set of services to accomplish a task, and need to enter values to services to invoke the composite services. Quite often, users re-visit websites and use services to perform re-occurring tasks. The users are required to enter the same information into various web services to accomplish such re-occurring tasks. However, repetitively typing the same information into services is a tedious job for end-users. It can negatively impact user experience when an end-user needs to type the re-occurring information repetitively into web services. Recent studies have proposed several approaches to help users fill in values to services automatically. However, prior studies mainly suffer the following drawbacks: (1) limited support of collecting and analyzing user inputs; (2) poor accuracy of filling values to services; (3) not designed for service composition. To overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, we need maximize the reuse of previous user inputs across services and end-users. In this thesis, we introduce our approaches that prevent end-users from entering the same information into repetitive on-line tasks. More specifically, we improve the process of filling out services in the following 4 aspects: First, we investigate the characteristics of input parameters. We propose an ontology-based approach to automatically categorize parameters and fill values to the categorized input parameters. Second, we propose a comprehensive framework that leverages user contexts and usage patterns into the process of filling values to services. Third, we propose an approach for maximizing the value propagation among services and end-users by linking a set of semantically related parameters together and similar end-users. Last, we propose a ranking-based framework that ranks a list of previous user inputs for an input parameter to save a user from unnecessary data entries. Our framework learns and analyzes interactions of user inputs and input parameters to rank user inputs for input parameters under different contexts.

We bought a house this past aug. (2000 sq ft) and we are a family of four. We have a natural gas bill and water bill, which we were not use to paying before. Well my water bill has been like 70 a month! And our gas bill is like 150 a month on top of an electric bill which is 120 a month. Help me! I just don't know how to lower these. We are in the south so we haven't had a bad winter, I went from living in a 900 sq house to 2000, is this just what it takes to run the home?
Help me lower my gas bill!
Michelle (1976) AP, bilingual, ERF, GLBT, SAH, single mom by choice to Isabella (2/2011) gently weaned at 31 months ( . )( . ) On BS4!
That seems a bit high to me, but I live in Idaho. We have a newly built 2200 SF house.
We pay the following utilities monthly:
Water $30 ( Up to $80-90 in summer months for end of June through mid August since we do not have irrigation and use city water to water outside)
Gas/Electric approx $180 between the two (when one goes up the other goes down and it is almost always around that amount) Our Jan gas bill was $109 and we had a frigid month. Electric was $60, so a little under.
Sewer $25
Trash $17
We typically keep our thermostat around 65-68, our house keeps heat in well, so it feels warmer. I am always surprise when I walk by it. As others suggested, if I start to feel a bit cold, I put socks on or grab a blanket. Our stove and dryer are electric, so the only thing our gas is used for is furnace and water heater.
If the water bill includes sewer it's not very high. We pay sewer $80 every other month and water is 40 every other month. We have a tiny house.
You can also block off the air in rooms you don't use. We blocked off half our house this year by hanging up a comforter(classy haha) and our bill was HALF what it was last winter!!! We also used magnetic vent covers in two rooms we don't use much in winter. Next year I am investing in thermal curtains and a programmable thermostat.
We keep our heat in the same range as you as well, but we don't have gas, so can't compare.
About the water heater, see if you can change the setting for the high heat and the times on it.
In answer to your question, yes, changing the temp throughout the day, constantly will up your charges. That's why programable thermostats are fabulous.
I found in our house, we use our gas fireplace more often and our heating bill goes down. But our house is laid out very economical with it. The fireplace can heat the whole house save our master bedroom but that's okay because we like it cold when we sleep with lots of blankets. You can always bundle baby with a onesie and socks under a set of fleece footie pjs and a sleep sack.

Water rates are typically set at the municipal level and in many places includes sewer or other stuff (like trash). So to really judge water use, you need a gallons number, not a $$ number.

Basically I have two main questions:
- What exactly should you unit test?
- How do you do it?
The problem is I have several applications that rely in a database connection and/or are communication applications, which mean most of the test cases are integration tests (or so I think).
Most classes are fairly simple by themselves, but the ones that implement the communication protocol, which are the ones that would be useful to automate the testing, can seem to fit well into the "unit test" model.
Another example. I developed I pipe structure with multithreaded support for a consumer/producer pattern. When a thread reads the pipe and finds it empty it blocks until a writer writes into the pipe. Should I use unit tests to test that class?
How do you decide what to unit test?
Edit: I mean writing unit tests for automated unit testing.

I have Cyclone Slider 2 installed. I had 5 images, but it was showing 10 dots on the top right (navigation). I then added another 5 slides (so a total of 10) but now there are 20 dots showing.
Can you please help me find where to make the number of dots to equal the number slides in the slider.
Many thanks.

Gallery Nucleus hosts an art show on Saturday April 19, 2014 at 7:00 pm!
Press Release:
Wrought from the depths of our creativity, imaginary friends have been steadfast companions through amazing journeys and have helped to overcome unbelievable hardships. Despite being figments of our imaginations, these fantastical comrades cultivate immense growth and represent very real bonds.
Inspired by these unreal friendships, award-winning children's book illustrator Dan Santat's The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend weaves a tale about companionship, courage, and finding one's place in the world. Beginning on an island far away where imaginary friends are born, one patiently waits his turn to be chosen by a real child, but when Beekle is overlooked time and again, he sets off on an incredible journey to the bustling city, where he finally meets his perfect match.
In conjunction with the release of Dan Santat's book, Nucleus celebrates these not-so-real friendships with a roster of some of our favorite artists, including noteable children's book illustrators, who would like to introduce all of us to their very own imaginary friends. Join us opening night as we pay tribute to friends both real and imagined.

So this is my last chance to bank cord blood if I so desire, I was just looking for opinion, and I think we all now BBs are not the place to get proper ones.
So what say you DT................
Did you bank?
If no was it simply due to cost?
That's weird, OP. My OB was pretty against it and considered it mostly a scam. She was pro donating though.
We donated it. They blood bank had just started doing it. I wasn't going to bank it if we couldn't donate because of the cost and like others have said often that child can't use it and I remember one site had a big chart with all the banks, how much they have stored and how often it is pulled for use and it was really small how often they used the samples.
I ended up with a section and they were able to get the blood from the placenta. I think that sometimes they can try this with delayed clamping too.
Yes to clarify -- I've always heard yay public bank donation, nay private banking.
We did not personally bank it. I did donate it. It was free of charge and I got a nice thank you letter.
P.S. I saw you on House Hunters, you picked the wrong house, bitch.
Mind your own vagina, thanks. -ThisCharmingMaman
Private cord banking is mostly a marketing scheme.
Public cord banking is awesome, but not offered in my area.
We did delayed clamping (and would have done the public donation had it been a choice).
ETA: I'd be *extremely* suspect of an OB pushing private banking. That seems like a major red flag.
I would only do it if your child is from a minority backround/mixed race since minorities have a harder time finding an HLA match on the public registries (For example, you have about a 90+% chance of finding a match on the public registry if you are white, but only around a 50% chance to find a match on the public registry if you are black). Also keep in mind that the blood you bank most likely will only work for that child (you only have around a one out of 4 chance of matching a full blooded sibling when it comes to HLA matching) This is my line of work and I do this everyday.... Hope this helps give you some more background to make a decision
I had my ODDs (10) now, done with Cryo-Cell International. It is $50 around the time of her birthday 1 time a yr.

The Jacksonville University Dolphins are the athletics team of Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. The Dolphins participate in NCAA Division I athletics, and are primarily members of the Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun). Some teams in sports that are not sponsored by the A-Sun play in other conferences. The football team plays in the Pioneer Football League, the men's lacrosse team is a member of the Southern Conference, and the men's and women's rowing teams are in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Sports sponsored[edit]
A member of the Atlantic Sun Conference, Jacksonville sponsors teams in seven men's and eleven women's NCAA sanctioned sports:[2]
Men's Intercollegiate Sports
Women's Intercollegiate Sports
- Notes
- ^ Football competes as a member of the Pioneer Football League, a non-scholarship Division I (FCS) league.
- ^ Men's lacrosse competes as an associate member of the Southern Conference.
- ^ a b Men's rowing is sanctioned by the Intercollegiate Rowing Association, not by the NCAA. Men's and women's rowing compete in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
- ^ Beach volleyball is a fully sanctioned NCAA sport which will have its first national championship in the spring of 2016.[3] The A-Sun was the first conference to sponsor a championship in the sport.
The Jacksonville Dolphins baseball team began play in 1957. It competed in the small-school College Division until 1969, its first season in the University Division (which later became Division I). Its first conference membership was in the Sun Belt Conference, where it first played in 1978. The Dolphins were affiliated with that conference until 1998, when they joined the Trans America Athletic Conference (later renamed the Atlantic Sun).
The Dolphins have participated in 13 NCAA tournaments, beginning in 1968 in the College Division Tournament. The other 12 have come in Division I. Jacksonville's best showing in the NCAA tournament came in the 1976 South Regional, when they were one game away from the College World Series, but were eliminated by Auburn 7–5. The Dolphins also were part of the NCAA tournament in 1972, 1976, 1989, 1991, 1994, 1995, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009, and 2011.
Men's basketball[edit]
The Jacksonville Dolphins men's basketball program was established in 1949.
Jacksonville has appeared in five NCAA Division I men's basketball tournaments, most recently in 1986. Their most successful tournament was the first they participated in, the 1970 NCAA tournament. The Dolphins, led by NBA Hall-of-Famer Artis Gilmore, the school's all-time leader in rebounds, blocks and field goals,[4] and Rex Morgan, the career assists leader,[5] advanced to the title game before losing to UCLA 80–69. During that 1969–70 season, the team became the first NCAA basketball program to average 100 points per game in a season.[6]
The Dolphins have won one A-Sun regular-season title (2008–09), but have not yet won the conference tournament and the accompanying automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as an A-Sun member.
The Jacksonville Dolphins football team competes in the Pioneer Football League, a Division I football-only conference. Their first season of play was in 1998, and they have been members of the Pioneer Football League since 2001.
They play their home games at D. B. Milne Field, which has a listed capacity of 5000 spectators.[7]
The Dolphins won the PFL conference title in 2008 and 2010, and represented the PFL in the 2008 Gridiron Classic, losing to Albany.
Bowl games[edit]

Pioneer Football League Offensive Freshman of the Year

- Tyrone Wright, DB, 2001
Pioneer Football League Coach of the Year
- Kerwin Bell, 2008
Jacksonville fielded both men's and women's NCAA Division I lacrosse teams starting with the 2010 season;[8] both programs became the first in Florida to compete in an official game on February 6, 2010.[9][10]
JU's lacrosse programs were founded by current Director of Lacrosse Mindy McCord, who also serves as the program's head women's coach. Assisting Mindy McCord are Brooke Richards Magnusson, a former University of Maryland standout and Maryland prep player of the year, and Jen Heup.[11][12][13][14]
The women's team was a founding member of the National Lacrosse Conference. In addition to Jacksonville, the eight-team conference includes southern-based universities Davidson, High Point, Presbyterian, Liberty, and Longwood, as well as northern programs Detroit-Mercy and Howard. The conference was a provisional conference for two years by NCAA standards; it must exist for two years to earn a potential automatic qualifier into the NCAA tournament.[15] The NLC disbanded after the 2012 season after the two all-sports conferences that contained most of that league's members, the A-Sun and Big South, began sponsoring women's lacrosse.
The men's team, the only men's Division I lacrosse team in Florida, is a member of the Southern Conference. The current coach of the men's team is Guy Van Arsdale.
Traditions and rivalries[edit]
Jacksonville University's most notable rivalry is with crosstown opponents the University of North Florida Ospreys.[16] The two universities contest the "River City Rumble", in which the school with the most wins over the other across all sports receives a trophy, the SunTrust Old Wooden Barrel.[17] JU holds the edge in the men's basketball series 15–8 in favor of JU after the 2014–15 regular season. However, the series is tied 7–7 since UNF became a full Division I member.[18]
