Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
A new solution to this challenge uses high-resolution vision technology to audit both volume and precipitate in racks containing up to 96 tubes. An advantage of this approach is that auditing can take place without de-capping of the tube, thus minimizing any exposure of the sample and helping reduce potential degradation or cross-contamination.
A high-speed vision system incorporated into a benchtop instrument is used to image multiple sample tubes simultaneously—up to a full column of eight tubes in a standard SBS footprint rack. The captured image is analyzed, and the liquid meniscus detected for each tube being audited.
Advanced image processing routines take into account variations between different liquid types, for example DMSO or aqueous solutions.
Once the position of the meniscus has been determined, the volume of liquid is calculated, taking into account the tube type. Further algorithms are used to detect the presence of a cap and any precipitate in the base of the tube.
Figure 1 illustrates a column of eight tubes following image capture, with various regions of interest depicted, with detection of caps, meniscus, and precipitate (in two of the tubes).
Benefits of this approach include: speed, less than two minutes to audit a 96 tube rack; accurate, volume measurement better than +/-10 µL; precipitate and cap detection; no need for tare-weighing of tubes; noncontact and operates with capped tubes.
The RTS Tube Auditor™ (Figure 2) can be used manually, with racks of tubes presented by the user, or integrated into a fully automated system, with racks of tubes being loaded/unloaded by a robot. This allows end users to audit small or large numbers of tubes according to the needs of their organization.
By integrating the instrument into an automated system, typically where the liquid sample is aspirated from the source tube and dispensed into a plate, it is possible to perform auditing following selected, or indeed every, access to the sample. Users can determine the frequency at which they audit samples based on their own quality control processes.
Although originally intended to facilitate in-process auditing, this technology is also finding applications at an earlier stage in the drug discovery process. Having an accurate record of the volume prior to putting the sample into storage is clearly important.
The Tube Auditor can be used to measure volume at the time of initial sample dissolution (and also give an indication of how well it has been solubilized). During early trials the technology reliably identified samples with lower volumes than had been anticipated. Upon investigation, this was found to be a result of blocked tips in the liquid handler used to perform the solubilization.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

The influence of mobile and social on tech purchases is surprisingly high, according to an IDG Research Services survey. More than 9 in 10 tablet users and 72% of smartphone owners look for product reviews with their devices, and purchase-related activity was 70% or higher for both groups. Seeing a mobile ad drove 43% of consumers to the research phase, 21% to purchase. The survey also found that social media exposure had a positive effect on tech buying as well. "Mobile usage has been soaring for a while but advertising has not. This research is a wake-up call for marketers," says IDG Global Solutions president Matthew Yorke.

Some time ago, a writer for ESPN.com -- Bill Simmons, you may have heard of him -- proposed a standardized set of rules for all fantasy football leagues as a way to make the sport more fun.
I pretty much agreed, and not just because I'm a company man. It would save me from generating dozens of different cheat sheets each year and needing the Dewey Decimal system to organize them.
But that kind of cookie-cutter approach would never fly for fantasy baseball. The game has been around for too long and spawned too many Mason-Dixon lines on the landscape. Rotisserie or head-to-head? Mixed-league or single-league? Draft or auction? These may seem like decisions unworthy of the Supreme Court, but believe me when I say that something as trivial as the number of bench and DL slots can be grounds for someone to join or leave a league. That said, there is no greater chasm in fantasy baseball than the one between single-season "redraft" leagues and keeper formats.
Usually, this space is dedicated to people in shallower leagues in which team construction is a one-and-done. However, it's June, which means that in dynasty leagues, struggling squads are selling off their high-priced talent to contenders in exchange for a bunch of guys who still aren't old enough to drink legally.
It's dump-trade season, and so this one goes out to any owner who is asking the eternal question: "Am I a buyer or a seller?"
Casing the joint
Most of the trades discussed in fantasy columns would never come close to happening in the real world. Can you imagine the Cardinals sending Albert Pujols to the Yankees for CC Sabathia and Johnny Damon? No, but in fantasy parlance, that swap might make sense for both sides. What's far more common in "real" baseball is a deal like the one consummated by Pittsburgh and Atlanta this past week, with the non-contending Pirates "dumping" Nate McClouth to the contending Braves in exchange for three minor leaguers, including one named "Gorkys." I can't make this stuff up.
The same thing defines buyers and sellers in fantasy, but what about those middle-of-the-packers? Many take a wait-and-see attitude. I'm not a fan. That usually just ensures that by the time you decide whether you're buying or selling, the guys you'd most want back have already been moved.
So do the research and be decisive. Don't just say, "I'm 14 points out of first, so if I can pick up a point a week, I'll be in first by Yom Kippur." See which categories you'll gain in without doing anything if others dump. Divine whether it'll take one good player, one great player, or a flotilla of stars to move you up more than a few points. Examine your own roster to see whether you have the kind of keepers people will want, or whether you're already loaded with players in their final contract year.
If after all of these steps, you still don't know then I say make a run at the title. First of all, it's more fun than sitting around and waiting for your hardball seedlings to sprout. Second of all, it's better for your league when more teams are in the hunt, and last time I checked, being in lame leagues isn't very much fun. Finally, by going for it now, you have eight full weeks to reconsider. If the end of July rolls around and you're still in fifth or sixth, your wealth of "dumpable" assets will let you make several dump deals to get the best remaining keepers from the top teams. Who knows, with two more months worth of stats, you might even have more data to target the players you want.
With that said, the players I'm stealing this week are all not-yet-marquee guys I'd want in deep mixed or single leagues if I were dumping. Sure, you lust after Justin Upton, Max Scherzer and Adam Jones, but right now, they're kinda helping their teams win in 2009. Meanwhile, the players I'm dealing are the ones who look like keepers now but might not be worth as much at the trade deadline.
Three I'm stealing
James Loney, 1B, Dodgers: Loney isn't a key cog in anyone's championship machine for 2009, mostly because he doesn't hit for power and his minor league numbers don't suggest that he will. But the kid knows the strike zone, as evidenced by his 23 walks to 23 strikeouts, and he's young and big enough -- 25 years old and 6-3, 220 pounds -- for the power to still come. Remember, Kevin Youkilis didn't hit double-digit homers in any minor league season and then stroked 29 in his third full major league campaign at age 29.
Dexter Fowler, OF, Rockies: The main reason minor league speedsters don't keep up their thieving ways in the majors is because they can't get on base enough to do so. Fowler has been slumping, and he strikes out too much for a guy whose main asset is speed, but he also takes plenty of walks and has the ability to turn them into stolen-base doubles. And he wasn't just a singles hitter in the minors, posting a slugging percentage better than .500 in his 2008 campaign in Double-A. He turned 23 this past March and never played a day in Triple-A. He's way ahead of schedule and could be a dangerous fantasy force in 2010 and beyond.
Phil Hughes, SP, Yankees: Looking for next year's Zack Greinke? Yeah who isn't? Ain't gonna happen, since seasons like Greinke's come around once every decade or so. But I like Hughes' chances of being a fantasy anchor in 2010 better than any other untested AL pitcher, and that includes David Price. Hughes has nothing left to prove after a minor league career that stands at 31-8 with a 2.38 ERA, a WHIP of 0.925, and 367 strikeouts in 329 2/3 innings. He turns 23 this month, and next year, he'll have a rotation spot all year. Sign me up.
Three I'm dealing
Asdrubal Cabrera, 2B, Indians: With a breakout season and now a hurt shoulder, he's perfect trade bait for teams playing for the future since there's very little guarantee that he'll continue his hot hitting when he returns. The guy is a batting-average-driven performer, unless you believe his 20-steal pace was for real. I don't. He is only 23 and likely will still develop, but his current upside is a 10-homer, 15-steal season, and while that's plenty usable in AL leagues, it's not the explosive potential I look for in keepers.
Zach Duke, SP, Pirates: So far, Duke's 2009 has been almost a mirror of his outrageous half-season of 2005, which imbued him with "next big thing" status. In the next three years, his lowest ERA was 4.47, with a record of 18-37 in that span. I love his comeback, but he still isn't striking out enough guys, and his control is merely good. Maybe he'll become one of those rare aces who don't need the strikeout. Prove me wrong, but if I'm writing off my season in June, I want the next Nolan Ryan, not the next Jarrod Washburn. (And yes, I know Washburn is pitching well, but I stand by the statement.)
David Aardsma, RP, Mariners: While Aardsma may be the first guy on your list alphabetically, he's not the first cheap, unexpected closer you'd want for the future. He has always had the swing-and-miss stuff you want from someone pitching the ninth inning, but he walks far too many batters. This year, opposing batters are hitting just .174, nearly 100 points worse than they did in 2008 and 80 points below his career mark. Seattle still has to hope that Brandon Morrow reclaims the role at some point since his arm doesn't seem suited for starting, so even a slight regression for Aardsma could kill his keeper value.
Pulling the job
No deals in my keeper league to report, nor did I get anything done in the STEAL. However, in one of my anonymous public leagues, I followed my own advice from a week ago and traded Derek Lowe and the newly returned Vlad Guerrero for Cole Hamels and the ultra-mediocre Kendry Morales. I may drop Morales for any number of free-agent bats, but in getting Cole Hamels, I hooked up with my very public man-crush.
Until next week, don't just win your league. Steal it, and keep stealing the keepers.

NEH in the News
The 2014 Film Forward festival – a joint project of the Sundance Institute and the NEH, NEA, PCAH and IMLS – made a visit to San Diego, CA and Tijuana, Mexico in early March. Films shown as part of the event included Circles, a drama set against the backdrop of hard choices made in the Balkan War, and Dancing in Jaffa, the story of ballroom dancer Pierre Dulaine and his efforts to unite Israeli and Palestinian children through the transcultural power of dance, from KPBS, San Diego.
The Bloomington Public Library has been selected to host NEH-supported Prime Time Family Reading Time programming, with the first program taking place from March 12 through April 16. Other libraries in Illinois selected to participate include two libraries in Chicago and one in Peoria. The theme for this season's programming is "It's a Small World After All," with the focal stories centered on themes of global citizenship, from Vidette Online.
An analysis of the films nominated for 2014 Academy Awards reveals major differences in screen time for actors versus actresses, with Academy-award nominated leading actors getting an average of 85 minutes of screen-time compared to only 57 minutes for nominated leading actresses. These statistics were revealed by utilizing the Cinemetrics database at the University of Chicago, which breaks down films into component information pieces and which received an NEH grant in 2010, from the New York Times.
New facts, figures and idiosyncrasies in the trend of "selfies" – a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website – have been revealed through a study by CUNY Professor Lev Manovich. Manovich conducted the research using tools and techniques developed as part of the Software Studies Initiative, a project partly funded by the NEH. He intends to continue selfie research in the vein of viewing the online photography trend as part of "self-sociology," from National Geographic.
The NEH will be funding a project being conducted at the University of Chicago and Oxford University wherein data analysis techniques will be used to analyze the spread and development of intellectual knowledge in the early modern period. The project will focus on creating "commonplace books" – loading in massive amounts of scanned text from 18th-century books and sequencing out similar strings of text among various books to determine the origin and flow of ideas and arguments across authors, languages and time periods, from UChicago News.
Dan Livesay, assistant history professor at Drury University in Springfield, MO, has been chosen as the recipient of an NEH fellowship. Livesay will use the fellowship to conduct research at Rockefeller Library in Williamsburg, VA – noted for being an archive of specialized collections and records from Virginia planters – on the daily lives of slaves, from the Springfield News-Leader.
The Minnesota Humanities Council will be hosting "Telling: Minnesota," a three-act play wherein veterans will take the stage to share their war experiences and promote understanding of military service ranging from the Vietnam War to US operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Telling Project has been previously performed at the Library of Congress and across the US with support from the NEH, from the Star Tribune.
The Langston Hughes Center at Kansas University will be showing the Created Equal film series and hosting lectures and programs relating to the films' themes of civil rights, race relations, and non-violent protest from now through late March, from the Lawrence Journal-World.
The Connecticut State Library will be able to digitize 100,000 pages of three newspapers from Norwich and Bridgeport, CT printed between 1910 and 1922 thanks to an NEH Chronicling America grant of $274,034. The digitization will be complete by the end of this summer, in time to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War, from the Norwich Bulletin.
Radio interview with NEH Public Programs Director Karen Mittelman who discusses the value and purpose of the NEH-funded Created Equal film series and how they explore issues of freedom, civil rights and American history, from WAMC-FM / Northeastern Public Radio.

BAUMHOLDER, Germany -- Helen Hughes-Balilo, principal of Wetzel Elementary School in Baumholder, was selected as the Department of Defense Education Activity's nominee for the National Association of Elementary School Principals' 2010 National Distinguished Principals of the Year for Elementary and Middle Level through the National Association of Elementary School Principals.
Hughes-Balilo will be honored as the 2010 DoDEA National Distinguished Principal Oct. 14-15 in Washington, D.C.
"Under Helen's excellent leadership as principal of Wetzel Elementary School during the past five years, a complete transformation has occurred that has been keenly focused on student achievement," said Lawanna H. Mangelburg, former Kaiserslautern District superintendent. "Helen is committed to success for all students, and she places the highest priority on exemplary instructional interventions that are based on individual student academic needs."
Hughes-Balilo has been the principal of Wetzel Elementary since 2005. She served as the assistant principal of Smith Elementary School in Baumholder before her time at Wetzel Elementary. She also served as a teacher in schools in Okinawa and Iwakuni, Japan.
She began her career with DoDEA in 1989 at V.I.Grissom Elementary School at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines.
The National Distinguished Principals Program was established in 1984 as an annual event to honor exemplary elementary and middle school principals who set the pace, character and quality of the education children receive during their early school years.
The program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Association of Elementary School Principals, in corporate partnership with the Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company.
NAESP highlights the fundamental importance of school principals in achieving educational excellence for pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students. The national recognition afforded by the National Distinguished Principal designation instills pride in principals' accomplishments and reinforces their continued leadership in helping students develop a lifelong love of learning.
Hughes-Balilo earned her bachelor's degree from Glenville State College in Glenville, W. Va., and her master of science degree in education from Troy State University in Troy, Ala., in 1996.
"Helen Hughes-Balilo exemplifies the term 'exceptional educational leader,'" said Dorothy Meckes, a first-grade teacher at Wetzel Elementary school. "She energizes, engages and encourages the stakeholder in the Wetzel community to excel and work together. She creates an atmosphere of cooperation and mutual respect throughout the school and community."
DoDEA plans, directs, coordinates and manages pre-kindergarten through 12th grade education programs for Department of Defense dependents who would otherwise not have access to a high-quality, public education.
DoDEA schools are located in Europe, the Pacific, the United States, Cuba, Guam and Puerto Rico. DoDEA also provides support and resources to local education activities throughout the United States that serve children of military families.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Microsoft wants to invade your living room. The software company is betting that its new video game controller, now called Kinect but previously known as Project Natal, will appeal to families ready to graduate from the Wii.
Kinect recognizers users' gestures and voice. This means they can say "pause" or "play" instead of reaching for the remote when watching a movie. And they can play video games without a controller.
If it takes off, Kinect could add tens of millions of customers to Microsoft's entertainment and devices business. The segment hasn't been a big moneymaker for Microsoft. In 2009 it amounted to less than 1 percent of the company's overall operating income.

Man dies after falling from truck
HOUMA — A 67-year-old from Morgan City died after he was knocked out of a pickup-truck bed on U.S. 90 Friday night, police said.
Tammy M. James, 46, of Morgan City, was driving a 2008 Toyota Tacoma west on U.S. 90 between Chacahoula and La. 311 with her husband, Richard L. James Jr., in the pickup's bed, said Sgt. Dennis Bergeron. He was riding in the truck's bed to secure furniture they were moving.
The furniture shifted, and Richard James was knocked onto the pavement, Bergeron said. Police responded shortly after 8 p.m.
James was taken by ambulance to Thibodaux Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead about two hours later, Bergeron said.
The crash was under investigation, police said. Alcohol and speed are not considered factors, but blood tests from both husband and wife were taken as required in all fatal traffic incidents; results were pending.
Four sought false IDs, police say
HOUMA — Three men and one woman from Georgia were arrested for allegedly using fraudulent documents to obtain Louisiana identification cards Friday in Houma.
Oseas, 20, Yorvin, 23, Clancy, 22, and Mariano Martinez, 50, all of Macon, Ga., were arrested on charges of unlawful production of fraudulent documents for identification purposes and taken to the Terrebonne Parish jail, according to State Police.
The four allegedly used fraudulent birth certificates and Social Security cards at the Office of Motor Vehicles on Capital Boulevard, police said.
Empty home catches fire
HOUMA — Houma firefighters subdued a small fire about 1:30 p.m. Saturday in an empty home off East Street.
The fire mostly damaged a mattress and box spring in the front of the boarded-up house on Larry Street, said District Fire Chief Terry Leonard.
NSU homecoming begins today
THIBODAUX — Nicholls State University's homecoming events start today and culminate with Saturday's football game against Bacone College of Muskogee, Okla.
Events begin today with a barbecue at 4 p.m. near La Maison du Bayou apartments.

Terrebonne GOP backs candidates
HOUMA — The Terrebonne Parish Republican Executive Committee endorsed these candidates in the Oct. 2 elections:
Jay Dardenne, lieutenant governor; Hunt Downer, congressman; Debra "Debi" Benoit, School Board District 4; Cindy Callahan, School Board District 6; David Ohlmeyer, School Board District 7.
The committee also voted to support proposed state constitutional amendments 1 and 2.
Early voting continues Monday through Saturday at local registrar's offices.
A story Friday titled "You can vote now for Oct. 2 election" contained incorrect information.
Robert Naquin withdrew from the Lafourche School Board District 4 race. Voters will decide between Thibodaux Republicans Marian B. Fertitta and Gregory Torres.

Sorry for the delay in posts. As you may have guessed, things have been a bit hectic and I have had to put my time-crunched training on hiatus. There is time-crunched and then there is positively, absolutely no time to ride.
It has been over two weeks since I have had an opportunity to go for a ride. For me, cycling is a fun diversion, an opportunity to unwind after work and a way to re-connect with old friends. As my wife will attest to, I am certainly a happier person (and more pleasant to be around) when I can get a ride in. So what has it been like the last few weeks? Difficult to say the least.
So I am curious to hear from you. How do you cope when you have no time to enjoy your favorite activity, hobby or pastime? Leave a comment and joint the conversation.
Thanks for reading.

You really need to make time, for your health and you and your family's mental health.
I've been too busy at work to squeeze in any time for any form of exercise, never mind riding… a 45 minute commute at either end doesn't help either. I've started to make time on Fridays though, for afternoon boot camp, and hoping to start to get back into mountain biking on Sundays. Need to get the fitness back up. Come December though, when the bambino arrives, that might all change…

Saccharin (Sweet'N Low, Sweet Twin)
Sold as a "tabletop sweetener" (packets used mostly to sweeten beverages)
Commonly added to packaged foods and beverages
What Is It? A compound containing sulfur and nitrogen that provides no calories because the body cannot break it down.
Sweetness Factor: 300 times as sweet as sugar
Take Note: Saccharin, first discovered in 1879, has a long, controversial history. The FDA re-approved saccharin for limited use as a food additive (in beverages and some processed foods) in 2000.
Our Taste Test: All but one taster rated it as "unpleasantly sweet." Most commented that, in tea—hot and cold—saccharin tasted "artificial" and had a bitter aftertaste.
Xylitol (XyloSweet)
Sold as a "tabletop sweetener" (packets used mostly to sweeten beverages)
Heat-stable; can be used for baking
What Is It? Chemically classified as a sugar alcohol, xylitol's chemical structure resembles both sugar and alcohol but isn't a true form of either. Since xylitol is a naturally occurring food compound, it is "Generally Recognized As Safe" (GRAS) by the FDA and, therefore, exempt from the approval process mandatory for artificial substitutes regulated as food additives.
Sweetness Factor: Same as sugar
Take Note: The body absorbs xylitol, but not fully—that's why the sweetener provides 2 calories per serving and also why it causes digestive problems for some people. People trying to control glucose levels shouldn't eat foods containing xylitol with abandon. The American Diabetes Association advises people with diabetes to count half of sugar-alcohol grams as carbohydrates. Studies show that xylitol, which is often added to gums and mints, may also help reduce cavities by reducing acid in the mouth. Xylitol is very toxic to dogs.
Our Taste Test: Tasters rated the sweetness level as "very acceptable" with only a few detecting a mild, yet not unpleasant, aftertaste in hot and cold tea. The sweetness rated well in baked cookies, but most described the appearance and texture of the cookies as unappealing and too soft.
Erythritol (ZSweet, Sun Crystals)

Jimmy McMillan Shares His Debate Strategy
One: Say Obama a lot. Two: Talk about rent regardless of the question. And three: Be bad.
When Andrew Cuomo and Carl Paladino take the stage at Hofstra University for their first and only debate tonight, they will be joined not by one or two, but by five other gubernatorial hopefuls. Among them, perennial candidate for any and every elective office in the land Jimmy McMillan of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party. The debate represents the widely ignored McMillan's best chance to make an impression on voters, but how will he stand out among such a crowd?
Apparently, McMillan seems to be taking a three-pronged approach. Prong one: dropping the name of President Obama whenever possible. "His name will be coming out of my mouth a million times," McMillan tells us. Prong two: Regardless of what question is asked of him, make the answer about rent specifically, how it's too damn high. Question about gay rights? "Turn it towards rent," he says. Any question about anything? "Turn it towards rent." Because once you solve rent, McMillan believes, you solve unemployment and the economy. Finally, prong three: Don't scrimp on the badness.
"You got one guy that appears to be bad, but it's time to let him know who's the baddest person in the arena tonight. He gonna need that bad. Paladino might start shaking when I sit down. I asked them to have the paramedics standing by ... I'm going to be the baddest man onstage. When I look out and see the paramedics, I'm gonna nod my head, have your medication standing by, because they're gonna need it. You're gonna hear [the other candidates] stutter, they're gonna be like, 'Oh no, don't let me go after him! Let me go before McMillan!'"
With McMillan as confident and cocky as Muhammad Ali before a championship fight, we asked him what the headlines in tomorrow's papers will say. "You're going to see my picture," he says, "and it'll say, 'Wow!'"

Pre-colposcopy instructions
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I was wondering if there were precautions I should take before my colposcopy?
Christina S. Chu, MD, Assistant Professor of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
While instructions before colposcopy may vary, in general, you should place nothing in the vagina for at least 48 hours before the test (no sex, tampons, or douching). Also, it is easiest if the test can be scheduled when you know that you will not be menstruating.

Our room was nice and was supplied with the basics, but no detergent was provided, minimal towels so we frequently made trips to the front desk. There was a soccer team that was staying in the hotel off the lobby at the time and there were frequent complaints by many guests due to the noise. So many complaints that at one point when we were sound asleep one night we woke up to the Police banging on the door down the hallway. Obviously their noise didn't wake us from our slumber that night, but it prevented us getting to sleep on other nights. Management should have had this more under control instead of the police being called by someone down the hall... definitely was happy to be in our new home and out of there.

Took my new Cannondale out yesterday and 40 mins into ride started getting pains just below neck top between shoulder blades, the bike is the right size a 56 I am 179cm, is this due to me not being used the drop bar posture or am I doing something wrong ? Have been told it may take a few rides for the muscles to get used to the posture, just mystified any advice would be welcome.

You should try a professional bike fit.
Just because you are 179 cm doesn't mean a 56 is right for you (the sizing of a bike with a given number varies on the type of bike and manufacturer and model). Normally, when you switch to drop bars, you will be sore (but pain is different, and should be alarming, though going for a 40 minute ride while just starting out may be a bit much). The geometry of the bike can also cause problems - racers may cause more pain than touring bikes due to their more aggressive geometry, for example.
Here are some tips from sheldon brown on pain, and what to do about it.
For anyone reading this who lacks the ££££ or even $$$$ to pay for a "full bike fit", there are books around that explain it all pretty well, I've never had a full bike fit despite being a rather oddly proportioned individual (shortish arms and trunk, short bullish neck and longish legs) A book I esteem highly is called "Richard's Bicycle Book". Which is quite possibly out of print but even so does turn up on ebay at prices even I wouldn't jib at. Author is Richard Ballantyne. He explains the ins and outs of getting the settings all tuned up to your own peculiar needs. As well as setting up your bike, just about everything else bike related is covered - it's a kind of cyclist's bible.
yes i have been riding for long time but started to get pain when i went out on longer rides upper back neck i have raised the stem shortened it changed bars wider seat before after done exercises physio changed bike frames done the bike dynamics bike sizing check i still get pain i should be able to ride a 100 easily but pain in upper back stops me as most bike s go up in size the top tube lenghthens as i need shorter top tube bigger head steerer its more like trial and error which is expensive if you havent got much money . all i can say is people change there bike size and ride diffrent bikes to prevent rsi i reckon that what they do in the tour as their bike positions seem a times impossible set ups like riding on the hoods they are very upright back seems very relaxed then they appear over stretched its not all its cut out to be as many pros are million airs and have many bikes and team of massages on tap and pro bike fitters there is a lot not being said ebay is full of frames for sale why people are in pain. or materialism if there was no pain there would be no need to change frames all the time the cycling industry is a big racket !expensive and complicated

PLUS: IN THE NEWS -- TENNIS; On Center Court,Grass is Greener
Published: September 17, 1997
Center Court at Wimbledon is sporting a new crop of grass. The best known rectangle of grass in the world has been dug up for only the second time in 75 years and a specially grown new turf has been put down.
The grass was badly torn up during this year's tournament, which was one of the wettest in history. ''We were planning to re-lay Center Court at some time in the near future, but what happened with all the rain this year made it necessary to do it now,'' said Chris Gorringe, the All England Club chief executive.
The grass at Center Court was grown in Yorkshire in northeast England and matured for two years before being transplanted.

Mrs Trotter, the artist's niece, told the compiler (30 July 1958) that the picture was painted at Walkington Rectory, near Beverley, Yorkshire, where the artist was staying with her sister, Mrs Dawe, during the 1914–18 war. She used to paint village children with Red Cross nurses and worked in the Red Cross herself. Another picture of the same nurse and baby was in Beatrice How's exhibition at the Galeries des Artistes Français, Brussels, December 1928 (1, repr.) as 'Infirmière'. The theme of baby and nurse occurs in many of her paintings.

The Dry Skin Season
Written on November 18, 2008 by Ms. Meniscus
Dear Dave,
Turn down the temperature of your shower water. Try moisturizing your skin with body lotion or baby oil (for your face, look for facial moisturizers — other lotions can cause break-outs).
And drink as much water as you can (moisturizing from the inside out).
For more tips, swing into a hair salon and ask around — your friendly stylists will have more than enough strategies and products to try.

We have some fantastic new vases by Dan Baldwin just in to our Soho gallery so we thought we would take a closer look at how Dan creates his striking ceramics.
Dan started working on pots by chance in 2004 when he doodled on a pot from the pound shop with a marker pen. At the time he had filled up thousands of pages for years with a series called 'Evil n Sick n Need Help' that was very separate to his paintings. So he started doing 'Evil n Sick' ceramics. 'The beautiful pot with a very dark fucked-up decoration really interested me.' Dan Baldwin.
To get a pot like one of his paintings was his long term goal and Dan embraced the new paints, glazes, and firing techniques he had to learn. He started off hand-painting factory moulded biscuit pots, getting them glazed and fired, and learning to use ceramic paints. But this was not enough and Dan longed to make the pots more like his painting with more 3D and mixed media elements.
Then one day when Dan was getting some of his pots fired he met Roberto a Sicilian potter and a new partnership was born. Employing Roberto's technical abilities in clay together they have been able to bring more of Dan's 3D ideas to the pottery. They have made about 50 moulds as well as moulded 3D objects in clay – brass swallows, guns, hand grenades, hearts, bullets, – and incorporated those into the ceramic design. It starts with a still wet pot, hand thrown, then Dan chooses what he wants to decorate it with and they apply these clay elements, freestyling as they go.
Dan is now producing highly advanced ceramic works with 3D clay casting of objects and working in precious metals, like pure gold. His dream of producing a pot like one of his canvases is even close, as you can see in the two amazing pots in our Soho gallery.
For more information on these two ceramics by Dan Baldwin please contact our Soho gallery or pop in for a closer look.

From Our Editors
When Dr. Nasimeh Yazdani received degrees from UCLA, the University of Iowa, and USC, her medical quest had just begun. After earning board certification in internal medicine and nephrology, she opened her own practice, where she and her staffers offer services ranging from general medical care and checkups to nephrology (kidney treatments), anti-aging medicine, and weight management.
As you might expect of a practice located less than a mile from the beach, the office itself isn't exactly cold and clinical. Upon arrival, clients sink into plush leather couches, where they snack on a homemade cookie, sip a beverage, or scream into a crocheted baby hat. They then head back to a private treatment room done up in pale mauve hues and decorated with silver-framed artwork.

Drug Interactions
This medicine may be affected by the drug cholestyramine and should not be taken with any form of estrogen therapy. Talk to your pharmacist for more information.
Drugs that may decrease the effects of this medicine include:
phenytoin (Dilantin)
carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Estrogens may decrease the effects of benzodiazepines (lorezepam
temezepam). If you are taking these medicines together or you have further questions about drug interactions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following:
seizure medications
medications to help you sleep
Estrogens/ estradiol/ estrones should not be used:
During Pregnancy: Vaginal Cream, Oral Tablets, Transdermal. If you think you may be pregnant, do not use any form of estrogen-containing drug. Using estrogens while you are pregnant may cause your unborn child to have birth defects. Estrogens do not prevent miscarriage.
If You Have Unusual Vaginal Bleeding Which Has not Been Evaluated by Your Doctor: Vaginal Cream, Oral Tablets, Transdermal. Unusual vaginal bleeding can be a warning sign of cancer of the uterus, especially if it happens after menopause. Your doctor must find out the cause of the bleeding so that he or she can recommend the proper treatment. Taking estrogens without visiting your doctor can cause you serious harm if your vaginal bleeding is caused by cancer of the uterus.
If You Have Had Cancer: Since estrogens increase the risk of certain types of cancer, you should not use estrogens if you have ever had cancer of the breast or uterus, unless your doctor recommends that the drug may help in cancer treatment. (For certain patients with breast or prostate cancer, estrogens may help.)
If You Have any Circulation Problems: Estrogen drugs should not be used except in unusually special situations in which your doctor judges that you need estrogen therapy so much that the risks are acceptable. Men and women with abnormal blood clotting conditions should avoid estrogen use (see Dangers of Estrogens).
When They do not Work: During menopause, some women develop nervous symptoms or depression. Estrogens do not relieve these symptoms. You may have heard that taking estrogens for years after menopause will keep your skin soft and supple and keep you feeling young. There is no evidence for these claims and such long-term estrogen use may have serious risks.
After Childbirth or When Breastfeeding a Baby: Estrogens should not be used to try to stop the breasts from filling with milk after a baby is born. Such treatment may increase the risk of developing blood clots (see Dangers of Estrogens).
If you are breastfeeding, you should avoid using any drugs because many drugs pass through to the baby in the milk. While nursing a baby, you should take drugs only on the advice of your health care provider.

I am trying to write a web application for my final year project at uni, and one of the first problems i need to tackle is getting an auto complete text box for local address input. i have spent some time looking around the internet and spent some time playing with the google maps V3 places autocomplete plugin.
there is something i dont quite understand on the api docs which i was hoping someone might be able to clear up for me, aswell as maybe point me in the right direction.
in the docs it says this:
the (regions) type collection instructs the Place service to return any result matching the following types:
this is what i currently dont understand, i live in cornwall (bodmin to be exact) and i want to make the results bias to bodmin. i have done the following:
var input = document.getElementById('inputOne');
var defaultBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(
new google.maps.LatLng(50.423394,-4.803829),
new google.maps.LatLng(50.508623,-4.692593));
//need to set bounds to cornwall/bodmin
var options = {
bounds: defaultBounds,
types: ['geocode'],
componentRestrictions: {country: 'GB'}
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input,options);
now this works but if for example i enter "st n" i would expect it to first come up with st nicolas street which is in bodmin. but it will come up with things like st neot which is several miles away.
there is part of me that thinks that i need to set the type to a different value, but i am pretty stumped right now.
EDIT: Example of what i am trying to achieve is on the maps.google.com page if you enter ,Bodmin then move the cursor before the comma and start to type a street name or even Asda it will keep it local to what is in that area. i would prefer not to have to type the ,bodmin but that is something which i could work around
if anyone has any ideas that would be awesome. then i will need to figure out how the user can put in some values like
"Asda" and get the local asda address.

Wow...a 90 lb 18 year old kid w/ mental health issues. I don't see how he could've posed a threat where lethal force would even be slightly considered.

Something like this happened to a friend's ex-fiance. She dated him for a long time, but knew he was having severe bipolar issues. Ex-military guy that finally broke down. He ended up moving back in with his parents, and was sort of losing it. His mom called the cops because he had a gun and she was afraid he would kill himself. Cops show up, inexperienced cop pulls his weapon, badabing badaboom, guy is shot down. Mom wanted some help, but her son ended up dead. Sad story. Some cops really shouldn't be on the force.

Its like the Traevon Martin thing... If you listen to the police call and you follow the incident, the kid got away for almost a minute, had time to dump whatever "contraband" or whatever the kid had, then you hear zimmerman say that he is back in the seen. So, he vanishes and then comes back at zimmerman. The kid attacks zimmerman so he gets blasted... And the whole world is like, he was an innocent kid with skittles..... Well, where did he disappear to for 1 minute and why did he come back at the guy. What would you think. And then you are getting attacked. Even if the kid just punched him in the face, that is reason to get shot. Its not the wild west or the 50s. If you dont know what someone is capable of and your brain suddenly says you are at risk, you gotta do what you gotta do... bam bam.
\nI mean, I wasnt there, but after hearing the 911 call and the timeline, I think its pretty crazy that the world got up in arms about a sketchy kid getting shot after loitering and selling drugs then attacking the guy. crazy world. Lesson of the day. Don't fu** with the guy with a gun. Ever. Unless you got a bigger, faster gun and are ready to use it.

Exactly. The minority ruin it for the majority. It only takes a few shi**y cops to give them all a bad rap.
\nSh*t like this shouldn't happen and it makes it harder for the decent cops to do their job. This kind of crap is unacceptable.
\nI'm sure the story isn't exactly the way they are telling it. I doubt 2 cops held the kid on the ground while the 3rd shot him... But 3 men should be able to subdue a 90 lb child without a bullet.

I am not a police advocate at all really, but I do respect guys that put their lives at risk and have to make judgement calls all the time. You are paid to be in a ton of Danger and sometimes sh** happens. San Diego PD shot people all the time. Kids. Crazy people. Homeless people. If you come at them from 50 yards away, you are getting gunned down... Its a sad state of affairs, but when people put their lives at risk in such a crazy job, they are also trained to protect themselves. This situation is wild. But it is what it is... "Mental Illness" and stuff are used as a lot of excuses, but people that act crazy in the real world put them selves at risk to get harmed. I mean, look at all these kids gunning down schools and doing crazy sh**. Its always stated after the fact "He had mental illness"... That is no excuse. I mean, would you care if someone in your family was harmed or worse by a person with "mental illness". That is no excuse. If you pose a threat to the real world, you should be removed from it and hospitalized. Not be allowed to walk around like a ticking time bomb that could harm innocent people at any time... Its like the pleading insanity debate in court.... Yeah, someone who murders 10 people is obviously insane. I kinda thought that goes without saying in situations like that.

Yeah man idk...the trayvon thing is apples and oranges to this situation imo, at least what they're saying about it up to this point. Trayvon got capped in some sort of mutually engaged conflict...this kid idk, 3 cops, 1 kid w/ a screwdriver, couldn't they have tased him?
\nI'm no police advocate either, as there seem to be a lot of violations of peoples' rights quite frequently, but the flipside to that is I've had the privelege of knowing a few officers quite well...one in particular was like a brother to me, taught me everything I know about hand to hand combat, and was a warrior in the truest sense of the word. The type of guy you'd want to show up if the shiit's hitting the fan. So there's good ones out there for sure, they just seem to be outnumbered by the power hungry bad ones.
\nAs an aside, i just got a ticket recently. For turning right on red in at a no right on red stoplight. Definitely one of the power piggies, and as he approached my truck he was shining his light around just looking for a reason to search my vehicle. I was driving clean, so I had nothing to hide, and some time...anyway I fumbled around acting all nervous hoping he'd search my truck(which has the more dog hair than any other truck in New England). He didn't take the bait unfortunately.

I don't worship cops... I have hated a lot of cops to be honest. But I also know good ones that want to help people. You hate all cops and military without regard for the truth. I don't hold the good ones accountable for what the bad ones do.
The media Hero Worships cops?! There's constantly stories about corrupt cops on the news
So you don't believe the media, but you believe a story that was in an article. That is media dip$hit.

These police stories get more horrific every time I get on the internet. Seriously sad.

So here's the deal.
I have multiple virtual host. Each virtual is a separate domain. Each domain is for separate applications. Lets say I have virtual hosts for:
http://.abc.com http://.def.com http://foo.com
I then a separate application, which is a RESTful HTTP api for the foo.com application.
What i want to achieve is essentially back channel communication between *.abc.com and *.def.com to api.foo.com. So that *.abc.com, *.def.com and foo.com are publicly accessible (this i have already set setup). But access api.foo.com is only accessible when being requested from the same server.
My criteria is:
- a 404 should be served to anyone attempting to browse to api.foo.com (not permission denied)
- access to api.foo.com is restricted to an IP or IP range
I have achieve this by:
- not setting a dns record for api.foo.com so anyone trying to access it will receive a 404.
creating an ip based virtual host for 127.0.0.1:80 and added the follow rule to /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 api.foo.com
This works exactly as desired. But is this the correct way to achieve a private virtual host?

Lael Fuller Just as a note, this is the same studio prop as used in the "sailor". Probably around the same time.

Kathy Pinna Thank you - I'm sure that you're correct. That's why I put the same approx date. We just have no idea who it is - it was brought from Wales when my gr grandmother emigrated in 1913 or so.
