Institutions, or The Personal and the Political
I have at least one theoretical worry about the ideas in this thread.
To use the label 'relationship anarchy' for an approach to relationships necessarily takes all of this out of the realm of the personal and into the realm of the political: to call oneself an anarchist in the serious, theoretical sense of the term is to take a stand on the nature and necessity of social and political institutions.
In truth, I think this social and political aspect of non-monogamy is also latent in 'polyamory', though there it's buried under language that frames everything in terms of personal preferences.
Really, though, we should be aware of the social and political radicalism of any attempt seriously to practice non-monogamy.
Institutions serve to limit and channel human activity in particular directions, providing predictability and stability for our lives together in the world; institutions can make it easier - or even possible - to secure things generally regarded as good, all else being equal, that we cannot secure as individuals.
To the extent conventional forms of relationship are embedded in institutions that promulgate and enforce them, anyone interested in an idea like RA would have to understand those institutions in some depth and ask very seriously whether and how society more broadly would function without them if everyone was really free to work things out for themselves, from the ground up.
Anyone who would seriously practice non-monogamy must also understand that institutions have a lot of momentum: they can be hard to change and have a nasty tendency to roll right over those who stand opposed to them.
Part of what makes them hard to change is that people tend to internalize the limits and channels established by those institutions, incorporating them into their values and even their perception. Hence, perhaps, the persistence of the idea of 'romance', as discussed above.
Now, we may be at a moment in the history of our own culture(s) (i.e., societies with English heritage?) that those who have a mind to can
get away with
developing unconventional approaches to relationships in their own private lives, and there is at least the hint of a possibility of nudging the relevant institutions in the direction of being still more permissive of "deviance" . . . but that's not at all certain.

is there a way / plugin that protects subpages with the same password, that the superpage has. I think it's not a good idea to give all subpages an own password, because if I change the superpage-password, I have to change all the subpages separately...
I looked into the sources, but I am new to WP and not really sure where to change this behaviour. I think the check for a superpage password could be done when loading the page from DB like in the get_post method... But maybe that would be overkill... :)
Thanks for helping

Ulcerative Colitis Trials |
Crohn's Disease Trials
UC San Diego Inflammatory Bowel Disease Center Patient Biobank
The purpose of this study is to establish a biobank of human blood, tissue and stool samples, images, and clinical data to be used in research intended to find out more about inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
The biobank will allow scientists to perform future studies that may allow us to learn more about IBD in order to improve the care provided.
Patients must be 18 years of age and diagnosed with IBD by their provider.
Predicting Response to Medical Therapy in IBD
The purpose of this study is to understand why some patients with IBD clinically respond to TNF inhibitors and other patients with IBD do not respond to TNF inhibitors. Colonic biopsies and blood will be obtained from patients with a clinical response to TNF inhibitors and from patients without clinical response to TNF inhibitors
First, gene expression from TNF responders and non-responders will be compared to help identify predictors of who will respond to this therapy, enabling the development of tests that will help to predict which patients with IBD are likely to benefit from treatment with TNF inhibitors and which are not. Then, intestinal biopsies will be used to develop systems to test potential efficacy of new medications in order to identify potential therapies that may benefit patients not responding to conventional TNF inhibitors.
This biobank study is conducted in collaboration with Takeda California.
FIT: Fecal immunochemical testing for quantifying disease activity in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease: Identifying a 'FIT for purpose' clinical end-point)
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic condition of the lower intestines, or colon. It is associated with episodes of swelling and inflammation of the colon, which result in abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. Currently, physicians rely heavily on performing colonoscopy to determine the severity of disease and most appropriate treatment. Colonoscopy is however, an invasive test and can sometimes be associated with an increased risk for complications requiring surgery. Fecal immunochemical testing, or FIT, is a lab based test that measures the amount of blood in a patients stool. Currently, FIT is used as an alternative to colonoscopy for colon cancer screening. Bloody diarrhea is one of the most common symptoms in UC and measuring the amount of blood in the stool may help determine how inflamed the colon is. FIT could therefore potentially be used as an alternative to colonoscopy for determining the severity of inflammation and most appropriate treatment. We plan to perform a research study where we test stool prior to colonoscopy with FIT and determine if FIT results correlate well with colonoscopy findings. The information from this study will help determine if FIT can be used as an alternative to colonoscopy in UC.
New Therapies and Biomarker Development in Crohn's Disease
The purpose of this study is to try to identify tissue and blood biomarkers that would help predict response to therapies and ultimately to evaluate novel medications for Crohn's disease. Blood and intestinal biopsies will be obtained from patients with active Crohn's disease. First, blood and tissue samples will be used to help identify biomarkers that will help predict response to therapies. Second, intestinal biopsies will be used to develop a system to test novel medications for the treatment of CD in order to identify potential new therapies that may be safer than existing therapies. Ultimately, the study will help develop new therapies for the treatment of CD.
To be eligible for the study the patient needs to have a diagnosis of CD with active symptoms. The patients cannot have impaired decisional capacity, bleeding diathesis and active diagnosis of colon cancer.
This biobank is conducted in collaboration with Janssen.
Dr. Sandborn talks about a promising new biologic for ulcerative colitis that can be self-administered by patients.
GA28950A Phase III, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Etrolizumab During Induction and Maintenance in Patients with Moderate to Severe Active Ulcerative Colitis who are refractory to or Intolerant of TNF Inhibitors.
The objective for this study is to evaluate the efficacy of etrolizumab compared with placebo for the induction of remission in patients with UC as determined by the MCS at Week 14 and to evaluate the efficacy of etrolizumab compared with placebo for the maintenance of remission at Week 66 for randomized patients in remission at Week 14.
To be eligible for the study patients need to be between 18-80 years of age, have a diagnosis of UC established for at least 6 months, be intolerant or refractory to one or two TNF-inhibitors. The patients cannot have colonic resection, diagnosis of CD, past or present fistula or abdominal abscess.
Etrolizumab may enhance efficacy in UC and eliminate generalized immunosuppression by preferentially targetting trafficking to the gut rather than to other organs and tissues.
Etrolizumab is a humanized Mab based on the human IgG1 subgroup-III VH, κ subgroup-1 VL consensus sequences and was constructed using standard recombinant DNA techniques.
M14-033: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Multicenter Study of Higher Versus Standard Adalimumab Dosing Regimens for Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Subjects with Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of higher induction and maintenance dosing regimens in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
To be eligible for the study, a patient must have active UC and be between 18-75 years of age and be diagnosed with UC for at least 90 days. Patients cannot have disease limited to the rectum and have a history of subtotal colectomy with ileorectosomy or colectomy with ileoanal pouch.
Adalimumab is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody containing only human peptide sequences. Adalimumab is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian cell expression system.
RPC01-3101: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of Oral RPC1063 as Induction and Maintanenca Therapy for Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of RPC1063 versus placebo on induction in clinical remission.
To be eligible for the study, patients will have to be 18-75 years old and have had a UC diagnosis for at least 3 months. Patient must be receiving treatment with at least 1 of the following therapies and must continue on these therapies during Induction: Oral aminosalicylates, prednisone, budesonide.
Patients cannot have severe extensive colitis as evidenced by physician judgment that the patient is likely to require colectomy or ileostomy within 12 weeks of Baseline or current/recent evidence of fulminant colitis, toxic megacolon, or bowel perforation.
RPC1063 is a small molecule compound that potently activates the S1P1R and the S1P5 receptor.
GS-US-395-1100: A Combined Phase 2/3, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Induction and Maintenance Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of GS-5745 in Subjects with Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of GS-5745 to induce clinical remission and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of GS-5645.
GS-5745 is a fully humanized high-affinity monoclonal IgG4 antibody that is selective and a potent allosteric inhibitor of MMP9. In human UC, MMP9 expression is strongly induced and is associated with progressive disease.
Patients must be between the ages of 18 to 75 years of age and should have a documented diagnosis of at least 6 months AND with a minimum disease extent of 15 cm from the anal verge.
Demonstrated at any time over the prior 5 years an inadequate clinical response or loss of response to, or intolerance to:
Corticosteroids, Immunomodulators, TNF Antagonists, Vedolizumab.
2013-01 OCEANIA: Detection of Advanced Colorectal Neoplasia by Stool DNA in IBD.
The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test for CRC in IBD patients. Tissue diagnosis of CRC will be established by histopathology examination.
To be eligible for the study patients must be between 18-84 years of age and be a candidate for surveillance colonoscopy. The patient cannot have prior colorectal resection and IBD limited only to the rectum and without a concurrent PSC diagnosis.
Crohn's Disease Clinical Trials
M14-115 A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Two Adalimumab Induction Regimens in Subjects with Moderatelty to Severely Active Crohn's Disease and Evidence of Mucosal Ulceration.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of two adalimumab induction regimens in achieving clinical remission.
Patient need to be between 18- 75 years of age and have a CD diagnosis for at least 3 months. The patients need to have a CDAI score between 220 to 450 despite concurrent or prior treatment with at least one of the following: Oral corticosteroids, oral bedesonide, azathiprine, 6-MP or injectable MTX. Patient cannot have surgical bowel resection within the past 6 months or is planning any resection at any time point while enrolled in the study; symptomatic bowel stricture; abdominal or peri-anal abscess.
M13-740 A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of ABT-494 for the Induction of Symptomatic and Endoscopic Remission in Subjects with Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease who have Inadequately Responded to or are Intolerant to Anti-TNF Therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of ABT-494 versus placebo and to assess the pharmacokinetics of ABT-494 following oral administration in subjects with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease with a history of inadequate response to or intolerance to anti-TNF therapy.
To be eligible for the study patients must be between 18 and 75 years of age and have a diagnosis of ileal, colonic or ileocolonic Crohn's disease for at least 3 months prior to entering the study. The patient must have inadequately responded to or experienced intolerance to previous treatment with an anti-TNF agent.
ABT-494 has demonstrated that inhibiting JAK1 with minimal impact of JAK2 is feasible at efficacious drug exposure levels. Thus, the enhanced selectivity of ABT-494 has the potential for an improved benefit/risk profile by mitigating JAK2 inhibitory effects on erythropoiesis and myelopoiesis.

With the armed conflict between Western-backed Islamists and the Bashar al-Assad regime still raging, recent reports suggest growing unease among some rebel groups and anti-Assad activists with the surge in influence and power of al Qaeda-linked terrorists determined to enslave Syria under brutally enforced Islamic law, or sharia. The escalating fears have become so serious that some rebel leaders are reportedly considering joining forces with the Assad dictatorship to wage war on Islamic fundamentalists.
The United Nations announced on December 16 that it is asking for a total of $12.9 billion in aid, with $6.5 billion of that amount to go to refugees impacted by the ongoing civil war in Syria.

I am a lucky woman. Throughout highschool and faculty, my oldsters unbroken American state on their automobile insurance policy. i used to be a fashionable item to add! I unbroken the value as low as potential by earning the great student discount, driving a 14-year-old Subaru, ne'er having a ticket and being born a woman. However, once my fiancé James and that i were getting ready to induce married, one among the monetary conversations we tend to had was concerning the automobile insurance policy. My oldsters gave American state the title to the automotive (they owned it) and it became my responsibility, my automotive -- and my address get insurance.
I launched to seek out a policy and did all of my analysis on-line. I before long known, however, that a number of my preconceptions clothed to be misconceptions. Here's what I learned on the method.
Where to Start?
I looked on-line and compared premiums from 3 distinction corporations, that i will be able to seek advice from as underwriter A, that my oldsters have, moreover as underwriter B and underwriter. C. My preference was to stay with the acquainted -- my parents' underwriter – however it seems it absolutely was so much on the far side my budget. Here is that the quote i used to be offered:
It was just like the story of the 3 very little Bears. underwriter a price an excessive amount of. My oldsters have the advantage of bundling their policies (homeowners, etc.) and saving that method, during which case i like to recommend it. However, i am not at that place in life wherever i want something apart from automobile insurance.
Which possibility is that the Best fit Me?
The rates offered by underwriter B were reasonable however I required to research precisely what i used to be paying for or missing out on.
I obstructed in my worth to ascertain what coverage choices were offered. Company B's most extremely counseled package price but Company A's basic possibility. I did not feel comfy accomplishment within the most elementary possibility as a result of i do not however have a completely furnished emergency fund just in case of a significant accident. therefore I compared the mid-range possibility at Company B with what I may get from Company C.
I was affected. The premium Company C package offered a lot of and price but the equivalent from Company B. a similar was true of the mid-range package. continued my analysis, I referred to as upon many vital sources: my mum, Google (GOOG), and also the underwriter agent (in that order). I required to clear up some confusing vernacular i used to be experiencing and obtain AN opinion. i am usually skeptical, and believe that if a deal sounds too smart to be true, it most likely is.
What will a Comprehensive Deductible Cover?
I asked my mum (and Google) concerning the excellent coverage. Basically, meaning the non-accident harm that may be coated. Hail and flood harm square measure some examples.
The collision deductible is what you are willing to pay as live of pocket once AN accident for repairs.
Bodily injury and property damages square measure the number insurance can pay if you cause hurt to a different person or property together with your vehicle.
What Happens If I Total My Car?
I learned that a destroyed automotive suggests that the full loss of a vehicle. A vehicle is taken into account a complete loss once the repairs required exceed fifty % to seventy % of the worth of the automotive, betting on the policy. The underwriter can offer you the market price of the automotive before the crash. therefore a $600-800 repair would be a complete loss for the Subaru as a result of it had a market price of $1,200 (optimistically). In my case, if that happened, i'd receive concerning $1,000 from my nondepository financial institution to then realize a replacement automotive.

California's San Onofre nuclear power plant retired due to safety concerns
Southern California Edison (SCE) has decided it will retire the San Onofre nuclear power plant located on the California coast. The decision comes after officials debated for over a year whether the twin reactors could be safely restarted. The power plant is located in a populated area, with millions living near it.
Fukushima-derived radioactivity in seafood poses minimal health risks
Researchers find that the likely doses of radioactivity ingested by humans consuming fish contaminated by radioactive radiation escaping from the debilitated Fukushima reactors fish, are comparable to, or less than, the radiological dosages associated with other commonly consumed foods, many medical treatments, air travel, and other background sources.
A "cauldron of events" has brought the nuclear industry to a halt
Until two years ago, people talked of a nuclear energy renaissance. Now the talk is about nuclear malaise. The Fukushima scare, the emergence of alternative energy sources as a result of fracking, and the lack of action on climate change – which means that limits on fossil fuels are not coming any time soon – have, in the words of one experts, brought the nuclear industry to a halt.
Reducing the volume of nuclear waste
The nuclear industry seeks to minimize the volume of nuclear waste by extracting the radioactive elements from spent fuel.This relies on exploiting differences in the chemical bonding of uranium. Scientists have found that in some circumstances the bonding may be surprisingly similar, an important discovery which is going to be important in the amelioration of nuclear waste clean-up and devising new atom-efficient catalytic cycles.
U.S., South Korea delay nuclear fuel deal
The president of South Korea, Park Geun-Hye, has been campaigning to get the United States to lift the ban on South Korea from enriching uranium and processing spent nuclear fuel. The ban was part of a 1972 treaty, which was set to expire next March. A deal appeared to be on the way at some point this year, but officials from both countries said the deadline would be extended to 2016. What did not help the negotiations were statements by some South Korean officials that the country should build its own nuclear weapons reather than rely on U.S. nuclear umbrella.
Energy Department to invest in used nuclear fuel storage research
As part of its efforts to develop an effective strategy for the safe and secure storage and management of used nuclear fuel, the Energy Department the other day announced a new dry storage research and development project. In the Energy Department's budget request presented last week, the department requested $60 million for nuclear waste research and development.
Former NRC chairman: all 104 U.S. nuclear reactors suffer from "irreparable" safety issues
According to former U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) chairman Gregory Jaczko, all 104 nuclear reactors in the United States currently have irreparable safety issues and should be shut down and replaced. Jaczko was the NRC chairman from 2009 through 2012.
Critics: Fukushima-influenced U.S. nuclear accident response procedures are flawed
The U.S. government is using the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan two years ago as a model for rewriting its plans on how to respond to radiation contamination — emphasizing long-term cleanup and return of residents to affected areas instead of emergency response. Critics say this is a mistake.
Nuclear fusion could power a rocket to take humans to Mars
NASA estimates a round-trip human expedition to Mars would take more than four years using current technology. The sheer amount of chemical rocket fuel needed in space would be extremely expensive — the launch costs alone would be more than $12 billion. Now, astronauts could be a step closer to our nearest planetary neighbor through a manipulation of nuclear fusion, the same energy that powers the sun and stars.
U.S. nuclear industry faces a wave of nuclear power station retirements
A wave of U.S. nuclear power station retirements is on the horizon. The typical design life of a nuclear power plant is 40 years. There are 104 nuclear power plants in the United States, and their average age is 34 years — only a few years short of, and fast approaching, their design life. Almost 30 U.S. commercial and research reactors already have started decommissioning. A $400 million is regarded as the bargain basement price tag for cleaning up a single reactor.
U.K. outlines its long-term nuclear future
Over the next two decades it is forecast that, globally, there will be £930 billion investment in building new reactors and £250 billion in decommissioning those that are coming off line. The nuclear new build program in the United Kingdom alone could generate up to 40,000 jobs in the sector at its peak.

Day of the nuclear battery nears
Experts in nuclear physics have helped develop research toward a "nuclear battery," which could revolutionize the concept of portable power by packing in up to a million times more energy compared to a conventional battery.
Instead of a renaissance, U.S. nuclear energy industry is facing tough times
Five years ago, U.S. nuclear industry executives and energy industry analysts talked about an American nuclear renaissance, with up to twenty new reactors to be added to the nation's stock. Things are very different today, however, and the U.S. nuclear energy industry, rather than expanding, is fighting to hold on.
NRC rejects plan for Maryland nuclear reactor
A plan to build a third nuclear reactor in southern Maryland was postponed last week as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) upheld an earlier decision to squash the project. the primary reason for the rejection is the fact that the applicant's parent company, Electricite de France, is 85 percent owned by the French government. U.S. law forbids foreign ownership of U.S. nuclear reactors.
Ohio's Perry nuclear power plant was vulnerable to sabotage
A report issued last week said that operators at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Ohio found a vulnerability in the security of the plant last year, and that that vulnerability could have put the public in harm's way. The utility operating the nuclear plant reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that the plant's security program for monitoring underground pathways and other unattended openings were insufficient to detect and prevent unauthorized access to the protected area.

NFL Team Report - Kansas City Chiefs - INSIDE SLANT
Manning owns Chiefs, anywhere, anytime
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning likes playing against the Kansas City Chiefs -- he likes it very much.
Whether wearing white, blue or orange, Manning is 9-1 as a starting quarterback against the Chiefs. Whether regular season, post-season, in Indianapolis, Denver or Kansas City, inside or outside, grass or artificial turf . . . none of that mattered to No. 18.
That's why players on the Chiefs defense spent a lot of their bye week vacation with their feet up and their iPads on, watching tape of the Denver Broncos offense as directed by Manning. They hope to figure out this Sunday night a way to become the first team to slow down the NFL's most prolific offense.
"You have to be perfect in your fundamentals when you play Peyton Manning," said cornerback Brandon Flowers. "You can't be almost perfect; you have to be perfect. It's like playing against an offensive coordinator, but it's an offensive coordinator that can throw the ball."
There are a handful of veterans on the Chiefs defense that faced Manning with the Colts and Broncos. Most were on the field last season when Manning threw for 304 yards and three touchdown passes against the Chiefs, leading a 38-3 victory in Denver to close out the regular season.
Inside linebacker Derrick Johnson and outside linebacker Tamba Hali were on the field in the first-round of the AFC playoffs in 2006 when Manning led Indianapolis to a 23-8 victory. They've seen him four other times since that game.
"What makes Peyton so hard to defend is he's so accurate" said Johnson. "If you are covering well, you still have to make a play because he's going to put the ball in the right place. He's smart; he's going to throw to the open guy. He's going to change plays when he needs to. If you show him a certain look, he'll go somewhere else with the ball. That's just what he does; that's why he's a Hall of Fame quarterback."
The Chiefs defense hasn't seen many Hall of Fame type quarterbacks in the 2013 season. They faced Eli Manning, Tony Romo, Michael Vick and . . . that's it for established NFL quarterback talents. They are 9-0 and leading the league in scoring defense after facing quarterbacks like Jeff Tuel, Case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Terrelle Pryor, Jason Campbell and Blaine Gabbert.
"He's a very different quarterback than what we've faced" said Hali. "He's different than just about every quarterback. He always seems to be a step ahead of the defense. He calls a lot of plays at the line of scrimmage that are designed just to see how the defense reacts. He sees things that other quarterbacks don't see."
Coach Andy Reid's defense has been the engine behind the Chiefs 9-0 start. They are No. 1 in fewest points allowed, giving up 12.3 points per game. They are No. 6 in passing yards allowed at 208.3 yards per game and they are tied for No. 3 in fewest touchdown passes allowed with nine.
All of that is meaningless against Manning.
"What happened in the first half of this season doesn't matter," Hali said. "What will happen in the last 6 games doesn't matter right now. What matters is we are playing the Broncos and if we are going to win, they we have to play a very good defensive game against a great quarterback."
In 10 games against Kansas City, Manning's most productive performance was the only one where his team lost -- a Halloween Day game in 2004 at Arrowhead Stadium when the Chiefs grabbed a 45-35 victory over the Colts. Manning threw for 472 yards and five touchdown passes in that game. It was the second biggest passing yardage game against the Chiefs in franchise history, behind only the 527 yards by Houston quarterback Warren Moon in 1990.
Those five scoring throws matched the most against the Chiefs; George Blanda did it with the Houston Oilers in 1965.
In those nine victories there were games in which Manning's play was less noteworthy. He completed 16 of 32 passes for 163 yards an interception and no touchdowns in 2007. That was good for a passer rating of 52.0, one of the lowest in his NFL career. Hali had a sack in that game. Still the Colts won, 13-10 as Manning led a late drive that set up the game winning field goal.
"This is a big game because it's the next one, and because it's a division game," said Hali. "We don't get a trophy after this game if we win; we have a game the next Sunday. Nothing ends after playing up there."
SERIES HISTORY: 106th regular-season meeting. Chiefs lead series, 56-49. In the last 10 seasons, Denver has a 12-8 edge, including a sweep last year, winning by 43 and 3 points.
NFL Team Report - Kansas City Chiefs - NOTES, QUOTES
-- Except for the earliest years of the American Football League, the Chiefs have had trouble beating the Broncos in Denver. From 1960 through the 1973 season, they were 11-3 in the mile high city. Since then, the Chiefs are 9-31 vs. the Broncos in Colorado, and they have won only six times in the last 30 seasons (1994, 1995, 1999, 2000, 2009 and 2011).
-- The Chiefs never had much success when facing Peyton Manning, whether he was with Indianapolis or Denver. Over his career Manning has posted a 9-1 record against K.C., winning seven times in the regular season and twice in the playoffs (2003, 2006). The only time the Chiefs were able to beat Manning was on Halloween Day 2004, when Kansas City won at home 45-35. The defense had trouble slowing Manning down in that game, as he threw for 472 yards and five touchdowns, among the most prolific passing performances against the Chiefs in franchise history.
-- Broncos defensive coordinator and interim head coach Jack Del Rio spent two seasons (1987-88) playing for the Chiefs. Del Rio appeared in 25 games for K.C. at linebacker putting up 77 tackles, 4 sacks and an interception. What Chiefs fans remember most about Del Rio was an incident in the first week of the 1987 strike by the NFL Players Association. While picketing in front of the Chiefs offices, Del Rio got into an argument with then team scout Otis Taylor and the linebacker ended up body slamming the former Chiefs great receiver on the sidewalk. Both sides ended up filing police reports on the incident but no charges were filed.
-- Over the last 10 seasons the Chiefs are 4-6 in the game after the bye week. They have lost five of the last six post-bye games, beating only Oakland 28-0 in the 2011 season.
BY THE NUMBERS: 13-1 -- That's Andy Reid record in the weeks when his Eagles team returned from a bye, winning 13 seasons in a row (1999-2011) before losing in 2012 to the Atlanta Falcons 30-17.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "You respect the heck out of Denver, then you study them and get yourself right as a team. You make sure that you know the scheme, makes sure that you stay up on what you need to be at the highest level physically. That's how you go about doing your business. You don't want to get caught up in all of the distractions . . . we're playing the Denver Broncos and you want to make sure you get yourself prepared." --Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
NFL Team Report - Kansas City Chiefs - STRATEGY AND PERSONNEL
-- WR Dexter McCluster (ankle) practiced in full Friday and is listed as probable. He's expected to be available to play on Sunday in Denver.
-- DE Mike Catapano (ankle) practiced again Friday and is listed as probable.
-- WR Kyle Williams was claimed by the Chiefs off waivers from San Francisco. Williams is in his fourth NFL season after coming into the NFL as a sixth-round draft choice by the 49ers in 2010. How he fits into the Chiefs' roster isn't apparent, although his career as a punt returner could be the first spot where Williams gets on the field.
-- WR Dwayne Bowe will play and start against Denver this coming Sunday. That was the word on Wednesday from Chiefs head coach Andy Reid in the aftermath of Bowe's arrest last Sunday on misdemeanor charges of speeding and possession of a controlled substance.
"It is a legal matter and that's the way we will handle it," Reid said. "Dwayne will play. He'll start. There are rules and regulations put in place and we will abide by the rules and regulations. That's where we are going with it."
Bowe issued a statement through the team: "I apologize to the Hunt Family, Coach Reid, my teammates and Chiefs fans for the distraction I have caused the team this week. Due to the nature of the pending matter, I am unable to make any further comment on the situation."
-- RB Jamaal Charles has played eight games against Denver, rushing 118 times for 652 yards and catching 15 passes for 133 yards. Charles has four career touchdowns against the Broncos. In the final game of the 2009 regular season, he ran for 259 yards on 25 carries in Denver.
-- QB Alex Smith appeared in only one game against Denver in his career, a San Francisco victory during the 2006 season. As the starting quarterback that day Smith completed 17 of 32 passes for 194 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He also ran three times for eight yards.
-- WR Dwayne Bowe has 51 catches for 664 yards and two touchdowns in nine career games against Denver. Bowe's best performance against the Broncos came in 2010 when he caught 13 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns.
-- ILB Derrick Johnson has ended up in the end zone when playing the Broncos. In a dozen career games, Johnson has 58 total tackles, 1.5 sacks and four interceptions, including two that he returned for touchdowns.
-- OLB Tamba Hali has played 12 games against Denver over his career, registering 38 total tackles and 3.5 sacks.
-- CB Brandon Flowers has a pair of interceptions and 42 total tackles in 10 career games against the Broncos.
GAME PLAN: One thing the Chiefs know is if their offense outscores the Broncos that will rank as the upset of the NFL season. Denver has 44 offensive touchdowns in nine games; the Kansas City offense has scored 16 TDs. Given that huge difference in production, it's going to be up to the Chiefs' defense to provide the elements of victory for Andy Reid's team.
The Chiefs have not allowed an opponent more than 17 points this season. It doesn't seem feasible that they can hold a team like Denver to that level, especially when the Broncos are averaging nearly five offensive TDs per game. They will have to take the run-game element out of the Denver offense and then they must make quarterback Peyton Manning uncomfortable in the pocket, or even more uncomfortable than he will be with his sprained right ankle.
MATCHUPS TO WATCH: Chiefs CB Brandon Flowers vs. Broncos WR Wes Welker -- The development of rookie cornerback Marcus Cooper has shifted Flowers to inside coverage when the Chiefs go to their nickel and dime defensive packages. With the quartet of Welker, Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Julius Thomas, K.C. figure to have extra defensive backs on the field for every play. Moving inside, Flowers will see Welker and that's a more favorable physical matchup for the Chiefs; Flowers is 5-9, 187 pounds and Welker is 5-9, 185 pounds. Flowers has also been bothered by injuries to both knees and moving to slot coverage limits the amount of running he's forced to do. In four career games against the Chiefs, Welker has 13 catches for 160 yards.
--Chiefs RT Eric Fisher vs. Broncos OLB Von Miller -- Just before the bye week, the Chiefs beat Buffalo and that game featured the best performance of Fisher's nine-game NFL career. The league's No. 1 draft choice has struggled in his introduction to the league, but he kept his wits about him and won most of the battles against Bills DE Mario Williams. Against Denver, Fisher figures to see plenty of snaps playing against Miller, one of the NFL's most prolific pass rushers with 32 sacks in 34 career regular season games.

I'm racking my brain, trying to figure out how I could add Link Categories to the Menus manager, along side Custom Links, Pages, and Categories (blog).
I have a site that uses a ton of outside links, and the current Link Manager feature is a great way to manage them all, allowing for several custom Link Categories. However, the only other feature that seems to put these to use is the Links widget.
I would like to be able to add Link Categories to my custom menu from the Menus manager, just as you would add blog Categories. Furthermore, it be even more amazing if I could add the individual links to the menu, as well, so they would drop down below their category.
I realize you can get the same effect using the Custom Links feature, but then you wouldn't be getting much out of the Link Manager.
I think this would be a handy new feature for everyone to have. I'm also interested in any suggestions for how I might hack it in.
Thanks for your time!

This was WONDERFUL!!! I am a big fan of couscous and love vegetables so this dish really hit the spot for me!! I used fresh lemon juice instead of the vinegar and that too makes all the difference in the world. I added a tad more garlic to it. This is a great dish to keep on hand in the refrigerator when the "hungries" hit or to serve as a side dish.
As advertised: quick, tasty, healthy. I, too, used lemon juice and a bit of bottled garlic. Will make again for lunch. P.S. Gave it a 4 just because it isn't a Wowie recipe for me, but a really good one that I'll use.
What a beautifully easy and light side dish! I altered it a little by cooking the couscous in chicken stock, used the juice from half of a large lemon, and threw in a whack of fresh parsley. It was still great the next day, slightly reheated and spruced up with a little more lemon juice. Thanks Anu, I will certainly make this again!

Curried Scallop-Apple Salad
Curry complements seared scallops, tart apples and sweet dried cranberries while toasted almonds add crunch in this quick fall dinner salad. Serve with toasted whole-wheat baguette and a glass of sauvignon blanc.
- 6 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallot
- 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 1 pound dry sea scallops, (see Shopping Tip), tough muscle removed
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 8 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 tart apple, such as Granny Smith, diced
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (see Tip)
- Step 1
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and curry powder and cook, stirring, until the shallot is beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add cider and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 4 minutes. Pour into a large bowl and whisk in 2 teaspoons oil and vinegar. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing in a small bowl. Wipe out the pan.
- Step 2
- Pat scallops dry and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan and heat over medium-high. Add the scallops and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
- Step 3
- Add salad greens, apple, cranberries and almonds to the large bowl; toss to coat. Top with the scallops and drizzle with the reserved 1/4 cup dressing.
Shopping tip: Be sure to buy "dry" sea scallops. "Wet" scallops, which have been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), are not only mushy and less flavorful, but will not brown properly.
Tip: Place sliced almonds in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.

This seriously makes me think of King Arthur somehow (I'm not exactly familiar with the story--just the Disney version), but it totally sounds like this could be used for one of those "moments"--maybe in the middle of a battlefield after the battle is over, and he's just looking at the carnage and feeling grateful that he and his men survived, but thinking that their war isn't over yet...I dunno, but still. 5/5, 10/10

I'd like to preface this by stating that this is for a class, so please don't solve this for me.
One of my labs for my cse class is creating an interpreter for a BNF that was provided. I understand most of the concepts, but I'm trying to build up my tree and I'm unsure where to initialize values. I've tried in both the constructor, and in the methods but Eclipse's debugger still only shows the left branch, even though it runs through completely.
Here is my main procedure so you can get an idea of how I'm calling the methods.
public class Parser {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
FileTokenizer instance = FileTokenizer.Instance();
Prog prog = new Prog();
Now here is My Prog class:
public class Prog {
private DeclSeq ds;
private StmtSeq ss;
Prog() {
ds = new DeclSeq();
ss = new StmtSeq();
public void ParseProg() {
FileTokenizer instance = FileTokenizer.Instance();
instance.skipToken(); //Skips program (1)
// ds = new DeclSeq();
instance.skipToken(); //Skips begin (2)
// ss = new StmtSeq();
I've tried having
Prog() {
ds = null;
ss = null;
public void ParseProg() {
FileTokenizer instance = FileTokenizer.Instance();
instance.skipToken(); //Skips program (1)
ds = new DeclSeq();
But it gave me the same error. I need the parse tree built up so I can do a pretty print and an execute command, but like I said, I only get the left branch.
Any help would be appreciated. Explanations why are even more so appreciated.
Thank you, Vasto

|"Timestorm 2009-2099: Spider-Man" and "Timestorm 2009-2099: X-Men" one-shots on sale in June
When Spider-Man and the X-Men put on costumes and started fighting crime, they proved they were heroes not due to just their amazing powers, but because they choose to act when most of us do not. Spider-Manâs conscience motivated him to use his super abilities for good, while the X-Men showed they could use their mutant powers to fit into and protect a world that fears and hates them. And while these Marvel Comics heroes may have known they were taking steps to battle immediate evil, none of them realized what they were doing was establishing a legacy that would live on ninety years into the future.
In the June one-shots âTimestorm 2009-2099: Spider-Manâ (featuring art by âGuardians of the Galaxyâsâ Wesley Craig) and âTimestorm 2009-2099: X-Menâ (featuring art by âSilent Warâsâ Frazier Irving), Spider-Man and Wolverine are transported to the future to witness firsthand the actions of heroes who continue the fight for justice in their names. CBR News spoke with writer Brian Reed about the books.
While they werenât publicly revealed when the main âTimestorm 2009-2099â miniseries was announced, Reedâs new one-shots were always part of the writerâs plans. âWeâre revamping the whole Marvel 2099 Universe and weâve got four issues to do it in. So the idea was that we would take a moment and kind of go, âOkay weâre still in the story and moving the story forward, but letâs look at it from Spider-Manâs and Wolverineâs more relatable point of view, and then weâll go back into the big, crazy event,â Reed told CBR News.
In âTimestormâ #1, in stores now, Spider-Man mysteriously found himself thrown forward in time to a new version of Marvelâs dystopian 2099 world. The web-slinger was creeped out and bewildered by what he found. âHe sees that everything around him is an advertisement that has Marvel heroes in it and theyâre all for things that donât seem entirely kosher,â Reed explained. âHe discovers that heâs the spokesperson for a thing called The Honesty Web, which reports what youâre doing to everyone on Earth. Itâs everything from âI went to the grocery store' to 'Now Iâm in the bathroom.â Itâs presented as being a way that we all know to trust each other because we now know what everyone else is doing.
|Pages from "Timestorm 2009-2099: Spider-Man"
âWe also see that thereâs a hologram service called Edu Net, which is using Reed Richardsâs likeness as a teacher for children. So thereâs this strange phenomenon going on where the corporations of the future have totally appropriated the heroes of the past and in the case of Spider-Man itâs not always for good use. So thereâs some really sketchy things going on.â
In âTimestormâ #1, readers met Miguel OâHara, the teen destined to become the Spider-Man of 2099, and theyâll learn more about him in the new one-shot. âHeâs a teenager with the nerdy streak that I feel all Spider-Men need, and heâs going to be learning that thereâs this name Spider-Man and it means something and the companies have taken it and twisted it,â Reed explained. âThe big thing is when we see him go, âHey! No, this doesnât belong to you!ââ
OâHara will get a chance to really experience what it means to be Spider-Man when he and Peter Parker meet face-to-face in âTimestorm: Spider-Man.â âThere is a future version of another Marvel character that makes their debut in this one-shot,â the writer hinted.
Instead of being greeted by the same high-tech cityscape that unnerved Spider-Man, Wolverine found himself in a bleak post apocalyptic wasteland of a future, overrun by emerald monsters. âThe really cool thing with Wolverine is that heâs the guy whoâs seen everything. Heâs already over a hundred years old so heâs really kind of unphased by progress at this point,â Reed said. âAnd to suddenly throw him into the wastelands of Washington D.C. that are overrun with the 2099 versions of the Hulk is actually something that phases him!
âWeâre also giving him a chance to see that something does come out of the mutant race; where theyâre at right now in life isnât the end,â Reed continued. âItâs like the ultimate cynic getting the chance to see this possible sliver of hope. Even though the rest of the future really sucks, at least this good thing is coming out of it...maybe.â
Exploring the legacy of the X-Men also means exploring the ruins of what was once the United Statesâ capital. âItâs not explained but in âTimestormâ #1 we see that itâs overrun with Hulks. Thatâs Hulks plural and there are hundreds,â Reed said. âAnd as the story goes on we get bits and pieces told to us about what happened there and how the wastelands came to be. When Wolverine gets there he finds the X-Men, or whatâs going to become the X-Men, are situated just north of Washington D.C. and doing their best to keep the Hulks contained in D.C. and keep them from coming north into Baltimore, which is just starting to get resettled after the âDark Agesâ happened. And of course they want to keep them from going further North into New York. Nobody knows that this group is out there keeping everyone safe.â
|Pages from "Timestorm 2009-2099: Spider-Man"
The original âX-Men: 2099â title from the â90s featured a lineup of different mutant characters. A new version of Cerebra made her debut in âTimestormâ #1 and Reed revealed that several more updated cast members from the original series will make their debut in âTimestorm: X-Men.â
Though both written by Brian Reed, âTimestorm: Spider-Manâ and âTimestorm: X-Menâ are two distinctly different books. âThe Spider-Man story takes place entirely in New York and is paced and written like a Spider-Man story with quirky humor and big action moments,â Reed said. âThe Wolverine story with the X-Men is out in the wastelands of Maryland and itâs about facing this Hulk army and trying to save peopleâs lives even though youâre the freaks that scare everyone at the same time.â
Wesley Craig and Frazier Irving bring the one-shots to life, and Brian Reedâs a big fan of their work. âWes brings some amazing things to his book,â Reed remarked. âHe sent me the layouts for the first few pages of the Spider-Man book and Iâd never been so excited over a layout. For his first splash page he picked this incredible camera angle and this great way to lay out the credits.
âFrazier is doing a wonderful job breathing life into the updated X-Men 2099 crew. We get to see the X-Men fighting Hulks in the wastelands of Baltimore, and Frazier is doing that thing great artists do -- drawing the scene better than I imagined it.â
While âTimestorm 2009/2099: Spider-Manâ and âTimestorm 2009/2099: X-Menâ are part of the larger âTimestormâ saga, Brian Reed knows there are some readers who are just interested in the individual one-shots and is doing his best to make them as accessible as possible. âThere is a lot of stuff thatâs trailing in, like the Spider-Man book is really where we see Miguel OâHara come into being Spider-Man. We introduce him in the âTimestormâ miniseries and thatâs where we show him get his powers but this is the moment where heâs putting on the costume,â Reed explained. âSo yeah youâre going to be able to read the one-shots and enjoy them on their own but youâll get so much more out of them if youâre reading the âTimestormâ miniseries.â
âTimestorm 2009-2099â #1 on sale now. âTimestorm 2009-2099: Spider-Manâ and âTimestorm 2009-2099: X-Menâ one-shots go on sale in June from Marvel Comics.

araver replied to Alex Shultz's topic in New Logic/Math PuzzlesWell, it looks like an encoding, the code is similar to base64, but it has more than 26x2+10+2=64 chars. Once you determine how many chars it actually has, it should get easier to figure out the base. Little fiddling led me to this (spoiler):
araver replied to jasen's topic in New Logic/Math PuzzlesI believe this is
I haven't been able to come up with a better than n=11 alternative. I'm pretty sure (branching my results at n=15) that there's nothing between 12 and 14.
araver replied to BMAD's topic in New Logic/Math PuzzlesAssuming exponentiation.
araver replied to BMAD's topic in New Logic/Math PuzzlesAgreeing with Rob. Or kinda disagreeing with both
n=11 in my post above.
I keep forgetting to click "Sort by Date" and when it sorts by rating I get confused. My question was different, let me rephrase: Assume there was no round before (A,B,C) = (4, 2, 5) with B and C active gets at the end of round 1 to (4, 4, 3). 1) Do we stop here even if the active players are not the ones equal? Bonanova's response does imply so i.e. Game ends at the end of the round if ANY 2 players are equal (different wording than OP though). So we count a minimum of 1 round before game with (4,2,5) ends. 2) If we let it go to the next round since the two active players (B and C) are not equal: 2A) assuming A and B could be active AND if we don't check the condition before we subtract, then one of them gets 0, and that may cause infinite rounds. 2B) If we do check the condition A=B since they are the active, then we call the game ending in Round 2. What I meant is that different wording makes either N=1 or N=2. In any case, I'm assuming and counting using rule "Game ends at the end of the round if ANY 2 players are equal". And another submission from me:
Question on wording of the goal: The game ends when the two active players in any round have exactly the same stake. If (A,B,C) go into a round, B and C are active and B = A at the end of the round (e.g. B = A/2, B<C), does that count as stopping the game OR the game goes to the next round where only if C sits out the goal is met?
araver replied to BMAD's topic in New Logic/Math PuzzlesSorry, but I was wrong about my "trapezoid" solution. At most two trapezoids would be similar, forcing the third to be similar would make all congruent. I've circled around and am pretty sure now there's no other way to split a triangle into 3 similar yet non-congruent triangles unless it's follows Bonanova's solution. And I think the same hypothesis holds for showing no 3 simlar quadriterals can be obtained either (limit case is 3 congruent trapezoids for an equilateral triangle). With more than 4 sides ... that's even more unlikely, as they won't have the necessary number of sides to begin with (i.e. partition a triangle into 3 pentagons / hexagons).
araver replied to BMAD's topic in New Logic/Math PuzzlesI don't have spoilers on mobile interface, sorry. Does the problem state ANY triangle? I can do this for right triangles (which are not isosceles) with 3 similar non congruent triangles and I can do it for equilateral triangles with 3 trapezoids similar non-congruent. But not for any triangle. EDIT: just saw Bonanova's that is my solution as well, but it does not work for A=B.
araver replied to flamebirde's topic in GamesI still pop into here from time to time, but I rarely have time to host a game. However, if you see this, message/PM me back - I'm willing to host a quick one (6-8) in August / September 2015 if you're interested.

Although the parking lot still needs to be lined, the new Western Reserve Transit Authority administration building is open on schedule and under budget.
The WRTA board of trustees met Thursday afternoon at the 25-year-old Mahoning Avenue office for the first time since construction began last year.
"This was a big project, and we're glad to see it come to the end," said Executive Director James Ferraro.
The expansion added a 960-square foot area on the second floor for a board/conference room and an elevator to comply with standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The project cost about $1.2 million and was funded with federal stimulus money. WRTA received a total of $3.5 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
In connection with the expansion, WRTA has hired 14 drivers, three office workers and three mechanics, Ferraro said.
"No one's getting rich over here, but we are having an impact on Mahoning County's economy," he said.
The stimulus money was allocated for capital projects: $2.1 million for the administrative office expansion, $990,000 for 12 buses and five minivans, $352,000 for operating assistance, $72,000 for surveillance cameras and $15,000 for bus shelters.
Any surplus left over from improvements to the administrative building would either be used by WRTA or go back to the federal government, said Marianne Vaughn, secretary-treasurer.
"For example, say we have a stimulus line item for a bus shelter, but if we have enough money to buy 10 bus shelters, we could do that," Vaughn said.
At Thursday's meeting, trustees received a federal grant, not stimulus money, and awarded a $680,000 contract to improve the Federal Station driveway, sidewalks and shelters.
The work is scheduled to begin Sept. 7 and will be finished before the end of the year, said Don Meszaros, WRTA's director of maintenance.
"We're spending a lot of money down there [at Federal Station], and we need to make it presentable if we expect the public to support us," said trustee John P. Brown, III.
OK, lets do the math. First the story says that "The expansion added a 960-square foot area on the second floor for a board/conference room and an elevator to comply with standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act". Then it says the project cost 1.2 million dollars. That's $1250 per Sq. Ft. I hope they got the solid gold floor tile for that kind of money.
A little further down in the story it says "The stimulus money was allocated for capital projects: $2.1 million for the administrative office expansion, $990,000 for 12 buses and five minivans, $352,000 for operating assistance, $72,000 for surveillance cameras and $15,000 for bus shelters."
2.1 million dollars for the administrative office expansion ? That's $2187.50 per sq. ft. I hope that included solid platinum ceiling tiles along with the solid gold floor tiles.
This is an outrageous amount of money for such a small amount of office space.
If you drive down Mahoning Ave. past the WRTA offices look at the nice parking lot that they put in. The end of the lot comes to a sharp point on the one end. The layout of the lot is totally worthless on that end. About the only thing you could park there is a small bicycle. The blacktop and fencing in that section is a total waste.
I'm glad that the entire project came in "Under Budget"
Be sure to vote NO the next time WRTA places a levy on the ballot !
The WRTA is a Waste of Taxpayers' Monies. This is exactly why the Congressional DemoWRONGS like Tim Ryan with their Tax & Spend ways need to go away in November. The buses run empty every day with only a few people on them at most anytime I run into one as I'm driving around.
Pyroc, only 960 square feet were added to the building, but virtually the entire administration office area was gutted and reorganized.
I would love to see figures of how many actual riders they have versus their spending. I am so tired of seeing completely empty buses all over the county and knowing this is where our tax money is going. No sane people continue to fund a busing endeavor that has virtually no riders.
I am confined to a wheelchair and the wrta bus service has been very valuable to me. I LOVE this service that they have provided for the disabled. I am happy to see that they have made improvements to the station. When I went for my pass early last year, I was appalled at the terrible working conditions for the employees. My picture for my pass was taken way back in some nasty boiler room!
Could_it_be has a point but do we need to spend millions of dollars to provide the needy transportation and is busing the most cost effective method? I'd say no. Running large buses nearly empty is a waste. Do we need to provide million dollar offices in a dumpy area in order to have an effective WRTA? I'd say no. I don't think most people would argue that we need to provide for the needy. The problem lies in the exorbitant cost that the government seems compelled to spend to provide such basic services.
Ohio11pm, this was a pretty good article that might answer some of your questions. http://www.vindy.com/news/2010/may/18...
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer...we can spend money on extra fancy office space (which shouldn't cost $1200 / sq ft) but in the meantime, the only daytime homeless shelter is closing its doors as we speak! :O Oh the humanity.
"I can measure the movement of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of man."
- Isaac Newton
Public transportation is necessary but low budget doesn't require pass photography taking place in a dingy station let alone a dingy boiler room.
Stop voting for these worthless politicians.
Why n ot just buy all these people without transportation a car, it would be cheaper in the long run. Then you could provide smaller type vehicles for the handicapped who could call for a ride when they need one?Then you could get rid of all these government workers who demand more wages and added fringe benefits at every bargaining session.
Its about time WRTA did something... the place always has looked like a dump site. To bad the attitude of the ignorant and dangerous teenagers that ride the buses can't be upgraded. Ann Varmus
Oh yeah, perhaps someone over there in the new offices can do something about the drivers disconcern for passangers safety? Oh and, can someone do something about how the buses breeze by white people waiting for the bus but stop on a dime for black people? Oh and yeah, can someone do something about the black passengers who ride free the same trip a white person without the money is turned down? Gee, you think the black drivers have a racial problem going on against white people? Ann Varmus
Maybe it's because I've only ridden west side and north side buses, but I haven't seen any of what you're talking about.
If it continues to be a problem, maybe you should report the driver?
Public transportation...I have a car and use this in the winter I hope they keep it clean and clean the buses!

Breast cancer cells need fatty acids to grow. Even though a Western diet contains enough fatty acids for healthy cell growth and function, aggressive breast cancer cells need more than they can get from a person's diet. They solve this problem by using an enzyme called fatty acid synthase (FASN) to make more fatty acids. Breast cancers with high levels of FASN are much more likely to recur and metastasize with significantly shorter disease free and overall survival. In preliminary laboratory studies inhibition of FASN selectively killed cancer cells with minimal effect on normal cells. Dr. Miller and her team have identified a promising new strategey to block FASN with a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPI). A preliminary retrospective study found that PPI use in breast cancer patients during their chemotherapy significantly improved overall survival. The impact was most striking in patients with triple negative breast cancer. In the coming year, Dr. Miller will test whether the common PPI omeprazole can inhibit FASN in newly diagnosed triple negative breast cancers and increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Because PPIs are FDA-approved, affordable and well tolerated during chronic use, they can be tested in clinical trials quickly.
Kathy D. Miller received her MD in 1991 from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD. Dr. Miller completed internal medicine training at Hopkins, then returned to her native Midwest for fellowship training at Indiana University, serving as Chief Fellow in 1997. She returned to Indiana University in 1999, attaining the rank of Professor and Ballvé-Lantero Scholar in 2014.
Dr. Miller's career has combined both laboratory and clinical research in breast cancer. She became chair of the ECOG-ACRIN Breast Core Committee in January 2014. In this role she works with academic scientists and community oncologists to develop trials that combine clinical and biologic endpoints yet remain feasible in non-academic settings. Dr. Miller honed her ability to coordinate multi-center trials as principal investigator for three previous ECOG trials. In addition she serves as principal investigator of the National Clinical Trials Network at Indiana University.

How do I add my own image as my sidebar bottom border/divider?
How do I add my own image as my sidebar bottom border/divider?
possibly by editing one or more of your theme's templates (?)
please post more details, such as the name of your theme, and a link to your site.
I am currently using the Prose theme and my site is currently not online but in set-up mode. I am looking for some CSS code to replace the default bottom divider with a custom image. For instance, in my current blog I use a row of flowers and stones as my bottom divider. I want do so something similar on the WordPress blog I am developing.
'prose' seems to be theme by studiopress;
please contact them for support with your question, as commercial themes are not supported by this forum.
general, what you seem to have now is a graphical element below the widget titles;
use a browser inspection tool such as Firebug to find out which css styles are responsible for formatting the widget title in your new theme, and add the graphic as a background image to the widget title.
pretty much the same way as it is now in your current blog link.

Killzone: Shadowfall artwork and screens released
Sony has released some screenshots for Killzone: Shadowfall. I think a couple in there are new, as I haven't seen them on the site. The previously seen ones have been added to the gallery as well so they are all in one place. Shadowfall was announced during the PS4 reveal in February and is a launch title for the new system.
