The purification of cellular populations and individual cells is pivotal for the reliable characterization of gene expression, many aspects of life science research, and the development of cellular therapies. Cell sorting routinely involves fluorescence-based separation through flow cytometry, which has proven superior to crude techniques such as differential sedimentation. Through this process, large numbers of cells are rapidly analyzed for specific fluorescence signatures. Traditionally, cell samples are parsed in charged aerosol droplets, which are electrostatically sorted, enabling purification at thousands of cells per second at purities often greater than 90%.
This technology enables exceptional specificity using multiple fluorescent signatures (e.g., cell surface labels, cell size, and granularity).
However, the contributions of current flow-sorting platforms are balanced against significant limitations, including: high processing pressures that can result in loss of function and/or cell death; sample processing speeds/volumes that make processing clinical-scale samples (>500 million cells) unfeasible; a high degree of technical expertise needed to manage device complexity; increased risk of sample contamination through the use of open systems; and user safety concerns when processing aerosolized patient samples.
These limitations, plus the high unit and sample processing costs, must be overcome to enable further clinical application and commercialization.
To address these issues, Owl biomedical developed a fully closed cell-sorting system. This microchip-based technology employs closed fluid path cartridges with aseptic ports that permit the straightforward administration and collection of cell samples. At the heart of the cartridge is a patented microchip capable of very high-frequency fluidic valving (Figure 1).
Propelled by modest positive pressure, typically less than 0.2 atmospheres, cells pass through microchannels where laser-directed fluorescent signals are detected with photo-multiplier tubes. Upon identification of a positive target cell, the microchip valve opens, redirecting the cell to a collection chamber. Both positive and negative selected cells can then be retrieved from the cartridge and used for any number of downstream applications.
One key design goal of all cell sorters is to maximize the speed at which the device can segment a stream of cells. In the case of Owl's microchip-based technology, a fluidic valve determines the rate at which cells are isolated. Valve speed in a fluid microenvironment is in turn controlled by several factors, including the acceleration and magnitude of the opening and closing forces, and the inertia of the valve and the fluid surrounding it.
In the case of Owl technology, valve speed is controlled by its engineered magnetic properties and a powerful return-spring force, which serves to close the valve (Figure 2). Careful modeling and empirical testing has led to a design that allows μsec opening times, a user-selected sort collection delay, and μsec closing times.
A typical total cycle of around 50 μsec allows separation rates similar to a traditional droplet sorter, although with microchip-based sorting no aerosols or droplets are used.
Sorted cells are typically used for molecular analysis or sample preparation, for example, cellular expansion for research or therapeutic purposes. In such cases, those cells need to be in a healthy metabolic state ideally retaining their complete array of functional capabilities. Current flow cytometric sorting has distinct challenges in that respect due to technical requirements such as high pressure, extended shear rate, severe decompression upon aerosolization, and impact trauma during cell collection. Often, these factors result in cell isolates with compromised function and/or viability.
Using Owl's microchip-based technology, the pressure applied to cells is minimal and the trauma associated with droplet sorting is removed, resulting in high cell viability. In addition, a wide variety of cell types have been sorted using the Owl technology, all with a high retention of cell functionality. For example, antigen-primed T cells have been shown to retain their cancer-specific cytotoxic capabilities in chromium-release assays.
While the utility of microchip-based cell separation is being tested in many different applications, current studies show its utility in processing clinical samples for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. For these purposes it is best to process the samples with as little manipulation as possible.
Here, CD4+ cells were sorted from a diluted whole blood preparation by adding a fluorescent CD4 antibody marker to 8 mL PBS and 2 mL of whole blood. Results show that while the presorted fraction contained less than 0.01% CD4 positive cells, the sorted fraction contained more than 91% CD4 positive cells (Figures 3A and B). The effective purification was close to 10,000-fold in a single-step process and with a simple no-lyse, no-wash sample preparation.
Investigations have also been done to study the ability of antigen-specific T cells from a patient's own blood to recognize tumor cells and trigger an immune system response. To explore the feasibility of this clinically important strategy, cells from a MART-1-specific T cell clone were spiked into a patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), stained with a PE-conjugated tetramer loaded with a MART-1 peptide, and then sorted using the Owl's microchip-based sorting technology.
Results show tetramer-positive cells were enriched from less than 1% to greater than 95% (Figures 3C and D). Importantly, sorted cells maintained their ability to kill MART-1+ tumor cells and to proliferate in vitro.
Acceleration of research for effective cancer and cellular therapies has increased the need for cell-sorting technologies that are safe, efficient, and easy to use. Owl's cartridge-based closed system has effectively demonstrated its capability to sort a wide variety of cells at high speeds without impacting cell viability. This platform offers the additional advantage of protecting sample integrity while permitting quick sample-to-sample changeover—a feature that avoids the inter-sample cleaning and validation required for traditional cell sorting.
That this technology does not utilize sheath fluids opens the future potential for sequential sorting of large numbers of samples within a short timeframe, making practical clinical applications a possibility. In addition, combining the underlying microchip technology with other cell isolation techniques such as magnetic beads has the potential to empower processing of samples greater than 1 billion cells.

text: Monster Beverage One stock that's trading within range of a breakout trade is Monster Beverage ( MNST), which develops, markets, sells and distributes alternative beverage. This stock is off to a hot start in 2012, with shares up over 60%. If you take a look at the chart for Monster Beverage, you'll see that this stock has been trading in a perfect uptrend for the last six months. At the start of 2012, shares of Monster Beverage broke out above $49.18 a share, and they haven't looked back since. This stock has soared since it broke out over $49.18 to a recent high of $83.96 a share. During that move, shares of Monster Beverage have consistently made higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. Also during that uptrend this stock has never once violated its 50-day or 200-day moving averages. Now the stock is trading very close to triggering a near-term breakout trade. >>5 Stock Charts Every Investor Needs to See Market players should now look for long-biased traders in MNST if the stock can manage to trigger a break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $74.92 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above $74.92 with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 1.7 million shares. If we get that action soon, look for MNST to re-test its recent high of $83.96 a share or possibly trend much higher. Look for confirmation of higher prices in MNST as long as its trending above $74.92 a share with strong upside volume flows. Some near-term support on the stock sits at $67.61 a share. This is a name I would be looking to play off strength once $74.92 is taken out with volume. Prev 1 of 6 Next

Definition of wayang in English:
1(In Indonesia and Malaysia) a theatrical performance employing puppets or human dancers.
Example sentences
- One of the significant breakthroughs Poedijono made is his use of English in his wayang (puppet show) performances.
- At the end of the wayang, Twalen and Merdah advise that the ten elements of peace - earth, water, fire, wind, plants, animals, fish, birds, humans and God - must be cherished, nurtured and controlled.
- Wayang is not something reserved to scholars or court people; every villager knows the wayang, uses its example to educate or chastise children, and has his or her own favourite character.
1.1 (also wayang kulit) A Javanese and Balinese shadow puppet play.
Example sentences
- But nevertheless, when speaking about that I think it is helpful to make reference to something that is very meaningful, such as the wayang kulit (Javanese shadow puppet) stories.
- Likewise, when you are in the Semar-Bagong Park, you feel as if you are somewhere in Central Java, the land of wayang shadow puppets.
- It was indeed an unusual opening dialog for a wayang performance; one that would never be found in conventional Javanese wayang.

Werder Bremen have suspended both Austrian bad-boy striker Marko Arnautovic and Dutch forward Eljero Elia until further notice after the former was cautioned by police for speeding in the early hours of Friday morning.
The news comes at an inopportune moment with 14th-placed Bremen only five points off the bottom three with four games left and involved in the relegation battle.
They have not won in their last nine games and coach Thomas Schaaf has taken a dim view of the pair's behaviour.
"We cannot tolerate such unprofessional behaviour in preparation for our match in Leverkusen," said Schaaf ahead of Saturday's clash away at the third placed team in the Bundesliga.
At 0300 local time (0100 GMT) on Friday, Arnautovic's sports car was pulled over by police on the A1 motorway near Bremen having been travelling at high speed.
Elijah, 26, who was driving a separate car, pulled over and got involved before a total of seven people then started arguing aggressively with the police, who called for re-enforcements.
Although the pair both passed tests for alcohol, Arnautovic, 24, will have to pay a hefty fine and faces at least a one-month ban, police confirmed to SID, an AFP subsidiary.
"We are deeply disappointed and have to send a clear message that we need players who give 100 percent for their their profession and the task we face at Werder," said Bremen'S director of sport Thomas Eichin.
To make matters worse, Bremen have to also do without midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, who is on loan from Chelsea, as the Belgian is suffering with a thigh injury.
Elijah had only been set for a place on the bench against Bayer Leverkusen, but Arnautovic's latest indiscretion leaves Schaaf needing to replace the striker who has five goals in 26 league games this season.
The Austrian has a long list of unfavourable incidents since joining in 2010 from Inter Milan having been involved in a brawl in a Bremen nightclub and then got involved in a training ground scuffle.
Last year he was involved in an incident in his home town of Vienna when he insulted an officer with the words: "I earn so much, I can buy your life".
Elijah joined from Juventus in June 2012, but has been largely a disappointment, starting only four Bundesliga games this season.

* EsotericHappyEnding: Hathaway's weapon ''worked''. Blowing up Hathaway's house still proved that it worked; and it's shown that the CIA knew it was a problem with targeting; not the laser function. Chris had given the schematics (the dynamite laser) to Hathaway before he decided against it. Even if the original KillSat was destroyed after destroying Hathaway's house due to the reflected laser; Hathaway and his military contacts would have made copies of this information.
** That is, unless it was subject to added public and Congressional scrutiny--see [[Headscratchers/RealGenius Headscratchers]].

* ShownTheirWork: It's debatable how much is this and how much might be considered EasterEggs, but, aside from the over-arching Hollywood Physics plot, the number of minor, technical details that are accurate probably represents how many "not-Pacific Tech" alumni crawled from the woodwork to flesh out the details of Pacific Tech campus life and the general science scenes.
* StrawmanHasAPoint: At no point does any of the protagonists bother to exposit ''why'' it's so wrong to build a laser capable of vaporizing ground targets from space. They simply state that it is, and act on that basis.
** Hathaway lied to them and used them to build weapons. It was their tech and work and he stole it from them to use to kill people. They had a moral connection to that work and could not stand the idea of their work used to kill people.
** Even if building a death laser for the government is not wrong in and of itself, taking people who don't want to build a death laser for the government and tricking them into doing precisely that is unethical. If informed consent ain't informed, then it ain't consent.
* TheWoobie: Mitch, deliberately. His parents are so aloof and neglectful, they don't understand why a bullied fifteen year old would want to return home or why renting out his room to a stranger would upset him. Add in the bullies, the aloof roommate who is more into partying than working, the apathetic classmates who put recording devices in a class so they don't have to appear but still get the lessons, and the teacher of said class who gave up and put his lesson on a recording for the class to listen too, and Mitch was the only student to still attend in person, college was not the joy he thought it would be.

—To examine the effect of fruit and vegetable intake on risk of stroke among middle-aged men over 20 years of follow-up.
—The Framingham Study, a population-based longitudinal study.
—All 832 men, aged 45 through 65 years, who were free of cardiovascular disease at baseline (1966 through 1969).
Measurements and Data Analysis.
—The diet of each subject was assessed at baseline by a single 24-hour recall. The estimated total number of servings per day of fruits and vegetables was the exposure variable for this analysis. Using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, we examined age-adjusted cumulative incidence of stroke by quintile of servings per day. To adjust for multiple covariates, we used proportional hazards regression to calculate the relative risk (RR) of stroke for each increment of three servings per day.
Main Outcome Measure.
—Incidence of completed strokes and transient ischemic attacks.
—At baseline, the mean (±SD) number of fruit and vegetable servings per day was 5.1 (±2.8). During follow-up there were 97 incident strokes, including 73 completed strokes and 24 transient ischemic attacks. Age-adjusted risk of stroke decreased across increasing quintile of servings per day (log rank P for trend,.01). Age-adjusted RR for all stroke, including transient ischemic attack, was 0.78 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.62 to 0.98) for each increase of three servings per day. For completed stroke the RR was 0.74 (95% CI, 0.57 to 0.96); for completed stroke of ischemic origin the RR was 0.76 (95% CI, 0.57 to 1.02); and for completed stroke of hemorrhagic origin, 0.49 (95% CI, 0.25 to 0.95). Adjustment for body mass index, cigarette smoking, glucose intolerance, physical activity, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, and intake of energy, ethanol, and fat did not materially change the results.
—Intake of fruits and vegetables may protect against development of stroke in men.(JAMA. 1995;273:1113-1117)

I am so sorry for your losses and I couldnt even began to understand your pain. I have a few questions and I didnt know who elae to ask that would understand so if you dont mind.
My DH's cousin and his wife have a son our daughters age, he is Oct. 1st and she is Oct. 22nd. Then when we got pegnant we learned that they were pregnant to. So we were super excited that our kids woulld be the same agian because she was due Sept. 4th and I am the 24th. But we just found out that thier babys heart didnt fully develope so the baby only has half a heart and wont survive long after birth. She is going to carry the baby to trem and then they will have their time with the baby to say goodbye. I am beyond sad for them I could never imagine their pain. ĀBut my questions are these..
Even before we got pregnant we wanted to ask them to be the Godparents should we still do that? Also I am sure they will name the baby and their baby is a girl and DH and I were talking about naming the middle name of our baby after thier baby because we know they want to remember thier baby and we do to.Do you think they would want or like that or do you think that is to much? We dont want to cross a line or make them feel like they have to or cause them any more pain. So I would appreciate your thoughts.

Lofty goals set for 2005
Published: Sunday, January 9, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 9, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
2004 was an excellent year for the Greater Hendersonville Chamber of Commerce, its divisions and its members.
On behalf of the board of directors, staff and entire membership I extend our thanks and gratitude to Steve Johnson, our 2004 chairman, for the success he led us to in 2004.
We plan to continue to build on last year's successes in the coming year. I am confident that the 2005 board of directors, volunteers, membership and staff will guide us through another sensational and productive year. This year -- designated as the Year of the Entrepreneur -- we will focus on how entrepreneurship plays an important role in our economy and in our community.
We are all aware of the importance of Henderson County's four economic engines --manufacturing, retirement, tourism and agribusiness. In 2005 we will endeavor to discover how entrepreneurship plays an important role in each of these sectors in balancing our economy.
Some examples of innovation, hard work and dedication:
These are a few examples of how entrepreneurship nourishes the local economic engines. Manufacturing wages in Henderson County measure at around $300 million; retirement industry affects our community at more than $284 million per year (Social Security deposits in Henderson County). Tourism plays an increasingly important role with an effect of $173 million (state estimate of tourist spending) and agribusiness has experienced consistent growth recently contributing almost $150 million (gross product sales).
Of course, when you talk about entrepreneurs we often think of the small business owners. The chamber's membership is filled with these entrepreneurs; 90 percent of the membership employs 50 or fewer workers each. These entrepreneurs are special not only because they are willing to take the risk of starting a business, providing employment opportunities and paying taxes, but because they invest in our community, and are usually leaders in giving back to our community through contributions to nonprofit organizations, local sports teams and many other good causes.
In 2005 we will focus on lofty goals for our membership and for our community. We are a great organization, and we realize that we cannot be successful without developing community partners who have similar missions and are motivated to make our community even better than it is today. This year we will continue to work with various groups in the community in order to make collaborations more common and more effective in Henderson County.
I am looking forward to a great year in 2005; I hope your year is great too.
Maher is the chamber board of directors chairman.

A NATION CHALLENGED: THE AIRLINES; In a Rapid Evolution, Regulations for Air Travel Are Being Rewritten Almost Daily
By LAURA M. HOLSON
Published: October 2, 2001
In first class, passengers no longer have to drink wine from bottles with twist-off caps. Travelers at some airports can again board planes with nail clippers in their carry-on bags. Curbside check-in will be back soon, too.
But these glimmers of normalcy are only skin-deep. Since the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon three weeks ago, every aspect of air travel has come under re-examination -- not just security, but everything from customer service to flight operations, financing and the proper response by chief executives to a crisis, as well.
''There is no regular process to go through anymore; there is no guidebook,'' said Jay Salter, the executive who oversees flight scheduling for Continental Airlines in Houston. ''I don't think we've had time to analyze it yet. But this whole process has to be rethought.''
Mr. Salter would know. In the course of three sleep-deprived days immediately after the terrorist attacks, he and his team of 350 dispatchers were responsible for grounding 200 Continental jets and then unscrambling the mess and getting them back in the air. A few days later, during one of an endless series of systemwide conference calls, he listened as another weary Continental executive pondered how the airline would serve wine in first class if crew members could no longer carry corkscrews on board.
That problem resolved itself when the Federal Aviation Administration agreed that corkscrews could be packaged with other catering supplies, Continental said. But new riddles present themselves daily to the $129 billion industry. While the federal government is busy rewriting the rules of war, the airlines -- their planes having been turned into weapons and their passengers scared out of the skies -- are rewriting the rules of air travel.
''Everything is evolving at such a breathtaking pace, and that is challenging,'' said Dave Ridley, a vice president for ground operations at Southwest Airlines in Dallas. ''You could call tomorrow and get a whole different story.''
With the boundaries of the unthinkable having expanded and Americans responding by staying home in droves, no one has a game plan for the industry's recovery yet -- not the federal government, not the airlines, not their unions. The flurry of activity, including a $15 billion federal aid package for the industry, amounts to little more than triage until more permanent plans can be laid. Even the security recommendations proposed by President Bush with come-fly-me fanfare at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on Thursday were just a starting point for Congressional debate.
Still, the change is palpable for airline and airport workers and the hardy few who have again begun to fly. Pilots are talking about arming themselves against terrorists, and flight attendants and booking agents have been transformed into crisis counselors for wary passengers.
Since Sept. 11, airline executives like Mr. Ridley of Southwest have been deluged with security directives from the F.A.A. Starting with A, his team has assigned a letter to each document, and they are already up to I.
On Wednesday, for instance, Mr. Ridley said he received a memo from the F.A.A. saying that curbside check-in -- one of the first conveniences to go after the terrorist attacks -- could be reinstated, under certain conditions. ''Skycaps are back in business,'' he recalled telling himself that day.
But the conditions posed problems, particularly the requirement that randomly selected bags be opened and searched. How, Southwest executives wondered, would passengers react as security officers sifted through their underwear right there at the curb?
Mr. Ridley consulted Southwest officials in Washington, he said, because memos from the F.A.A. ''are not always crystal clear'' and may be interpreted and carried out differently by each airline. Southwest said yesterday that it hoped to reinstate curbside check-in at 11 airports today and at all 58 airports it serves by the end of the week.
The airline -- celebrated for the ingenuity and sound management that have kept it profitable year after year while other carriers' fortunes have bobbed -- has decided to subdue its trademark offbeat humor.
Donna Conover, executive vice president for customer service, said telephone reservation takers have been told ''to use their most calming voice.''
''That is what people need at this time,'' she said.
Flight attendants no longer make jokes while delivering safety instructions. A week after the terrorist attacks, one Southwest flight attendant, Ms. Conover said, rallied passengers with an impromptu chorus of ''God Bless America'' as a plane landed.
Indeed, many flight attendants recognize that doling out kindness is as essential as coffee and peanuts while travelers regain confidence.
''I've always felt like I was a safety professional -- I did things by the book,'' said Roxanne Steindler, a flight attendant with 16 years of experience who now works for US Airways. ''But now I think I will be a little more compassionate. I will try to reach out and make passengers feel more comfortable, stop by and say hi, something I may not have done in the past.''

Crystal Conquest, a Flash-based action title for Japanese consumption, set to launch this summer. Details are now sidling out, as noted by 4gamer and translated by Andriasang:
Crystal Conquest is a side-scroller with characters shifting between two planes of play, it uses mouse controls only, and it has four classes: Warrior, Scout, Priest and Sorcerer. The goal is to destroy the enemy's home base before time runs out or the enemy destroys yours. At the end of the match, damage and enemies killed are added up and the winner crowned. The battle edifices are called Arrow Tower, Crystals and Summons Facilities, and the title will include classic Square Enix summons functions.

Moody and Brilliant.
Loved it. The whole thing was very smoothly executed, and it didn't get repetitive at all. You really set the mood with the ambient ethereal mish-mash at the beggining, and when the rest of the song kicked in, I was hooked! The only criticism I can give is that there could have been more variation in the last minute or so of the song. I think I'll check out your other stuff now...

I'm going to show you how to make a simple timber picket gate in 30 minutes or so. Gate-wise, unless you include hanging a sheet of plywood as a gate, this is the simplest gate you could possibly make as it's just a legged and braced gate – there are no awkward joints to cut!
The gate I'm making is 3ft high x 2ft 6 wide in old money (or 915mm high x 762mm wide), so if you need something a bit bigger or bit smaller, you'll have to adjust both the cutting list and any other sizes mentioned below accordingly.
All lengths below are the finished sizes required; if you do pop into your local builder's merchants or sawmill, add 2″/50mm onto all sizes.
Ledges (horizontal rails) – 2 at 3″ x 2″ x 30″ long planed all round (Planed all round referred to as PAR from here on in)
Uprights or pickets – 7 at 3″ x 1″ x 36″ PAR
Diagonal brace – 1 at 3″ x 1″ x 35″ PAR
Ledges (horizontal rails) – 2 @ 75mm x 50mm x 762mm (PAR)
Uprights (or pickets) – 7@ 75mm x 25mm x 915mm (PAR)
Diagonal brace – 1 @ 75mm x 25mm x (PAR)
* A quick note on PAR, you can usually buy this in softwood from stock at larger builder's merchants or a local, however if you're wondering why your 3 inch x 2 inch is not quite 3 inches by 2 inches then that's because it's the pre-planed all round sizes (the sawn sizes) that are referred to – usually 3 inches by 2 inches will finish at 2 3/4 inches by 1 3/4 inches
There is a bit of timber cutting to do, but as with most projects you'll tackle in timber, it's unavoidable. You can either make use of a mitre saw, if you're lucky enough to have one, or just go old school and use a handsaw.
That was simple enough and now we'll move on to cutting the pickets of the gate.
Next, we'll get the pickets cut with two 45 degree angles on the top to give them the traditional picket-gate type look.
To put the gate together we're going to need a couple of additional tools and bits and bobs -we'll need the following tools:
We'll need to mark these lines on the edges of the two pickets; so do this now.
Now, before we start attaching the rest of the pickets, we need to work out the gaps between each picket.
To save marking each and every picket we're going to fix into the gate we'll do a little cheat; get a straight piece of timber and fix it to the bottom of the two pickets that are fixed to the ledges, just one screw in each will do for now as this is a temporary 'fix' and will be removed once the gate is finished.
Lastly, we'll just add the diagonal brace on the back of the gate; this wants to sit at around 45 degrees. It can be less than 45 degrees, but no flatter than 45 degrees as it won't be doing anything to support the gate. It should also point down to where bottom hinge will be.

Hello and welcome to my website.
I created this simple site mainly to allow access for friends to my wildlife cctv cameras and the weather data which I collect.
The cameras can cover any species which takes my fancy from the red squirrels which visit the garden to solitary bees and of course the bird boxes during the nesting season.

Rich and intense aromas of lemon, lime leaf, citrus flowers, honeyand slightly nutty baked pie crust. The creamy texture is nicely complemented by expressions of white stone fruits (nectarinesand peaches) and Granny Smith green apple with hints of marzipan on the finish.
Technical Notes
To ensure ripe phenolics and balanced flavors, the grapes were harvested in different passes over a three week period. Thewine aged for 10 months in French oak barrels (8% new).

Can a ghost throw an EMP while sitting inside a bunker?
No, you cannot use special abilities of units garrisoned inside a bunker, with the exception of stim packs. It's not even possible to individually- or group- select the units inside, though you can direct their fire by right-clicking.
I've just checked and stim is unique in that it can be activated on all units inside the bunker (as long as there's at least one unit inside capable of stimming).

It is divided into 3 parts: recognition system, control system, and mechanical part.
The recognition system include a webcam, and the program written with OpenCV.
The Control system include PC and Arduino.
The mechanical part is the actuator arm of the hard disk drive and the touch pen.
The webcam has low fps and high delay, so we use open-loop model to calculate the bird position. But the accumulative error of open-loop model causes instability. We will improve it in the future. The pipe in game is green, then we recognise the pipe with color filter, and correct camera distortion. We write record and replay tools with data visualization in Python to help us adjust the model.

Snowbound Jets on U.S. Tarmacs Spur Call for Tougher Rules
A weekend snowstorm that stranded passengers on at least seven airliners is prompting a call for tougher sanctions against airports even as others argue that the extreme weather that caused the chaos can't be regulated.
Hundreds of passengers sat for hours on planes at Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Connecticut, on Oct. 29 while pilots begged for help unloading them. Airports should face fines if they can't respond, Kate Hanni, a passenger-rights advocate, said in an interview.
"I am really shocked that Bradley was so tone-deaf to this situation," Hanni said. She founded the Napa, California-based group FlyersRights.org after she was stuck on a plane in 2006.
Airlines are subject to fines of as much as $27,500 a customer if passengers aren't allowed to exit an aircraft stuck on the ground for more than three hours, under rules put in place last year by the Department of Transportation. Airports have no such penalties.
Five JetBlue Airways Corp. flights were stranded at Bradley for more than three hours, said Alison Croyle, a spokeswoman for the airline. One sat on the ground for almost eight hours before passengers were allowed to leave, according to transcripts of radio broadcasts from the jet.
Flights operated by AMR Corp.'s American Airlines and Swiss International Air Lines Ltd. also were grounded at Bradley as the early-season storm pummeled the Northeast U.S. Customs officials wouldn't let passengers disembark from flights that originated in Europe, said Ed Martelle, an American spokesman.
Daniel Steinkamp of Geneva, who was flying to New York to attend a wedding, said in e-mails he sat on the Swiss jet for six hours at Bradley with a painful, recently broken leg.
"I had to walk down the metal stairs on the runway during a blizzard" instead of to a gate, said Steinkamp, 28. "I was terrified."
Tricky to Regulate
The tarmac delays demonstrate how difficult it is to regulate the most extreme breakdowns in the aviation system, Rich Golaszewski, a consultant on airline scheduling at GRA Incorporated of Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, said in an interview.
"You are always going to have a bit of this," Golaszewski said. "You just can't protect against every possible extreme event."
Reducing the chances of these already-rare breakdowns would require airlines and airports to hire extra employees and buy equipment that might sit idle most of the time, he said.
Not Free
"It all increases the costs of flying," Golaszewski said. "It's not free."
Most commercial airports don't have equipment or personnel to move aircraft on the ground, said Richard Marchi, a former airport operations manager at Boston's Logan International.
The responsibility for towing jets into and out of gates lies with the airlines, Marchi said in an interview. If pilots ask for help moving a jet or getting passengers off, as was the case in Hartford, all airport officials can do is try to engage other carriers or airport contractors, he said.
The Oct. 29 delays came as a snow storm hit the New York area's three main airports, all of which rank among the six worst for on-time performance this year. A combination of equipment failures and weather-related slowdowns forced some jets to divert.
JetBlue diverted 17 jets to airports on the East Coast, from Syracuse, New York, to Raleigh-Durham International in North Carolina, Croyle said. Six of the jets went to Bradley.
Local Contractor
The airline has four departures a day at Bradley. It relies on a local contractor to move jets in and out of gates there, instead of using its own employees, Croyle said.
Bradley, which ranked 57th among the nation's commercial airports with 32,795 landings last year, received 28 diversions that day, Judd Everhart, a spokesman for the Connecticut Department of Transportation, said in an e-mail.
Five of those flights refueled and departed, leaving 23 planes at the airport as snow began to pile up. The number of aircraft -- one more than the airport's 22 gates -- stretched resources "to the limit," the airport said in a statement. The airport also suffered power outages.
Croyle, Everhart and John Wallace, a spokesman for the Bradley airport, declined to provide additional details on when JetBlue began trying to get passengers off planes and how airport officials responded.
JetBlue can't discuss details while the Department of Transportation investigates, Croyle said. She also declined to release the carrier's plans for handling similar situations.
Bradley doesn't have a formal plan for dealing with lengthy passenger strandings and is working to develop one, Everhart said.
'Skeleton Crew'
Hanni, who received complaints from passengers, said she telephoned the airport's operations center Oct. 29 at about 9 p.m. local time.
"He said, 'we're running our skeleton crew because everyone went home earlier,'" she said.
The only way to ensure that airports respond adequately is for federal regulators to require that they plan for such backups and to impose fines when they don't, she said.
Blaming a small airport like Bradley after so many flights arrive unexpectedly isn't fair, John Hansman, an aeronautics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said.
Unfair Blame
"It's like fining the turnpike for excessive delays at the toll booth because another road is closed and everybody wants to go down your toll road," said Hansman, who has studied airport delays and operations.
The Washington-based Airports Council International-North America, which represents government-operated airports, doesn't support additional regulation, said Debbie McElroy, a spokeswoman. The group's 340 members include Los Angeles International and Dallas/Fort Worth International.
Instead, better coordination would help prevent the worst cases, McElroy said. Currently, federal rules require that airlines send their contingency plans to airports. There is no requirement that they coordinate with each other, she said.
Since the rule went into effect last year barring tarmac delays longer than three hours, the U.S. Transportation Department hasn't issued any fines. It is investigating a case on May 29 in which 14 flights on AMR Corp.'s American Eagle unit were left on the ground for at least three hours after bad weather snarled Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

Periodontal (Gum) Disease Topic Guide
Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease): Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that support the teeth. Teeth are supported by the gums, or gingiva. A tooth's root is anchored to its socket by fibers called periodontal ligaments.
Must Read Articles:
Dental Abscess Bacteria from a tooth cavity can cause a dental abscess, or infection of the mouth, jaw, or face. Symptoms include pain, swelling, facial redness, gum inflammation, pus drainage, and occasional difficulty fully opening the mouth. Unless the abscess ruptures on its own, the abscess will need to be cut open and drained by a health-care professional. Dental abscesses can be deadly if left untreated.

The UCRG International Advisory Council Launched - Endeavoring to Promote the Construction of an International Dual Rating System
The Universal Credit Rating Group (UCRG) announced the founding of its International Advisory Council (IAC) on June 23 in Beijing and released Action Manifesto of UCRG International Advisory Council (2015-2020).

UCRG was incorporated
in October 2012
in Hong Kong
launched in June 2013 2013
Chairman's Message
UCRG's purpose is to promote the establishment of a new type of international credit rating system providing an alternative rating for the pervasiveness of credit relationships while the current international rating system with sovereign-owned characteristics is running, so that a new rating architecture featuring co-existence of two rating systems, openness, inclusiveness, inter-complementary and counter-balancing will be created.
Universal Credit Rating Group
Reform the International
Rating System
UCRG is a new type of multi-lateral international credit rating agency aimed at being sponsored by representative agencies from every jurisdiction. .
Reform Concept
The global credit crisis has highlighted the importance of credit ratings on human society, and has demonstrated that flaws in the current international credit rating system jeopardize human prosperity and development. The current system will no longer meet the credit rating needs of the world.>
Reform Objective
UCRG aims to shape a new international rating system that is co-existent, inclusive, complementary, and counter-balancing with the existing international rating system.>
Dual Rating Model
Dual rating system is the business model of UCRG. This unique model will be put into practice by the approach that governments of the jurisdictions where UCRG operates grant UCRG a license to conduct credit rating business in the local rating markets, for UCRG represents the common interests of mankind.>

James Galway
A septet of young musicians classically trained at a premier Havana music conservatory, the now-Miami-based Tiempo Libre not only specialize in timba, a fiery blend of Latin jazz and Cuban son, but also innovative fusions of classical, jazz, and Cuban music. The band will play two distinctly different performances at the Dakota. Thursday's show will be a collaboration with renowned classical flutist James Galway, who's also something of a musical maverick, and will likely draw heavily from last year's O'Reilly Street. That album's centerpiece is a vibrant reworking of Claude Bolling's jazz suites, adeptly integrating Afro-Cuban rhythms with the classical-jazz fusion that created a hit for Bolling and flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal in the '70s. Tiempo Libre leader and pianist Jorge Gomez also contributed several similarly styled compositions as well as a lively arrangement of Bach. The latter was a precursor to TL's new Bach in Havana, which spectacularly intertwines a wide range of Cuban music (conga, bolero, cha-cha, guaguancó) with some of Bach's most widely known pieces. Friday will be all—and probably all-out—Tiempo Libre, which promises a Cuban dance party fueled by its sizzling timba.

This is my second order with PrintGlobe and I am very pleased all around. The online ordering process is extremely efficient and straight forward. My rep at the company is quick to see my order through and answer any questions that I have. They are in the US and speak my language literally and figuratively and are there to get me what I need. My pieces looked great and I plan on many future projects with this company. Thanks PrintGlobe!
New York, NY
Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.
Hedgehog Solutions, Orem, UT
Price. Quality. Service. After 37 years in business, I've finally found a vendor who has all three. Wait! I just thought of one more - Variety. Now how can you beat four-out-of-four? I just love it when a printer makes my designs come to life and the client raves when they receive the final product. Thank you, PrintGlobe.

A-Rod Admits to Steroid Use
In an interview set to air tonight, he tells Peter Gammons that the 'Sports Illustrated' report is true.
In his first interview since the Sports Illustrated story broke on Saturday, Alex Rodriguez told ESPN's Peter Gammons this afternoon that he did indeed use steroids, saying he's "very sorry and deeply regretful." He says he took them for a three-year period when he was with Texas, starting in 2001 and ending after an injury during spring training in 2003. (He says his years in New York have been clean.) The full interview with Gammons, likely chosen in part because he's been sympathetic to A-Rod in the past, airs this evening. [ESPN, Newsday]

I used to be a regular on here, been a long time since I have visited, but I have a question I need some help with.
I am 45, my youngest is 6 and I *think* I may be pregnant. It has been 31 days since my last period. My breasts are a little more tender than usual, I have heartburn, seem to be using the bathroom more than usual lately and have had clear discharge for about a week (sorry for TMI!) Pg test came back negative. Periods have been a little irregular in the past, but never this irregular, usually a week or so off. Any thoughts?
I have not told my hubby my suspicions yet, don't want to jump the gun. Btw....test was dollar store, maybe need better test? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
I used to be a regular on here, been a long time since I have visited, but I have a question I need some help with.
Oh yes, increased appetite as well......
Hi, all of those things can be signs of your cycle coming, too. And...they can also be signs of ovulation. Basically, all we can really say about symptoms are that they are clues of hormonal changes of some sort. Sometimes we have slightly odd cycles. It's not strange to have irregular cycles or off cycles at any age, even more common as we get a little bit older. I'd give it another week and if no period, recheck with a test. I've never had false negative tests if I tested on time. A cycle can be longer sometimes, meaning you may ovulate a week or so later than normal so you could have tested too soon.
There was a time when every cycle I thought I was pregnant due to very strange cycles and I was only in my late 20s! They eventually worked out and got back to normal. But for about a year it was messed up. It happens sometimes.
If you would like, there are many labs where you can go and get blood work done and it's becoming more affordable. You can even get it done without prescription from your doctor.
Good luck!!
The only two times I have ever gone over 30 days I was pregnant.......tonight right after super my stomach felt off and my breasts are a bit more tender tonight. Waiting sucks, lol
I'd get a different test to be sure. If not, call the doctor and have him do a blood test
Buying a different test tomorrow, thanks all.
Any update? We'd love to know how your test turned out!

Right now the only way I can do this is by creating the Jar and Manually going into the jar file with WinRar and Editing the MANIFEST.MF files to point to the screen shot.
I was just wondering if there is an easier way to add the splash screen or give Eclipse a custom Manifest file to use on creating the Runnable Jar

Hello friends! I created a custom theme and I was finally able to input the custom menu option into my navigation. http://www.amandaduncan.com/site/ Right now I'm stuck as to what css to put for the drop down links. As you can see "about" is a drop down link under the home link (it is reading the custom menu correctly cause I have "about" indented under home). If I put the link as "hidden" the whole menu disappears. I just want it to work like a drop down should...it shows when you rollover the main link.
Can anyone point me in right direction for this? Thank you!!!!!
