Simply put (as he puts it), "Review" consists of MacNeil reviewing stuff. This means everything in life, although MacNeil seems particularly drawn to rather bad things. For example, the first episode reviews stealing, addiction and going to a high school prom.
Thus, here are some reviews of MacNeil's reviews:
Stealing: The nerdy host increases the levels of his crimes quickly but fails to benefit particularly from any of them. His bank robbery is actually nothing but failure. In the end, MacNeil goes with 2 stars for the experience of theft.
My review: 1 star. MacNeil did not adequately show just how lucrative stealing can be. Better luck next time.
Addiction: Although MacNeil claims at first to be immune to addiction, it turns out that cocaine can best him. Hyperactivity, health problems and an intervention follow. The initial review is 1,000,000 stars. After sobering up, it drops to half a star.
My review: 4 stars. A nerdy coke-head who doesn't seem to realize it is very entertaining.
Going to prom: Since MacNeil is a middle-aged man, going to a high school prom is rather awkward and a bit yucky. He deals with it by taking his family babysitter, stealing stuff and doing cocaine. In the aftermath, MacNeil rates another half a star.
My review: 3 stars. The awkwardness of getting a date isn't terribly entertaining, but the cocaine makes up for it.
"Review with Forrest MacNeil" airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central.

The parallels between the lives of Bill Clinton and Wesley Clark, Nato's supreme commander since 1997, are uncanny. The contrasts are also sharp. Both men are in their fifties - Clark is 54, Clinton 52 - and both are married, with one child. Their faces reveal profound differences. Clinton's sensual mobile face is lined and sagging, while Clark's face has an almost seraphic quality, making him look far younger than he is. The eyes, however, lack Clinton's twinkle. Clark intimidates with a penetrating stare of zealous intensity. His soundbites are not as colourful as Clinton's, but they do get to the heart of the matter. He has said that if Nato warplanes do hit Yugoslavia, it will not be "a one or two bomb affair".
Despite their common roots in Arkansas, Clark and Clinton did not meet until 1965 in Washington. Each was academically gifted. Clark passed first in his class at West Point in 1966 before going on to Oxford on the same scholarship as Clinton. Clark finished his PPE course. Clinton ducked out of finals. Their paths rarely crossed and their reactions to the great issue of their time as students could hardly have been more different.
Clinton dodged the Vietnam draft but his engagement with the anti-war movement in Oxford was tentative. While his future commander-in-chief took his pacifism lite, Wes Clark travelled around British universities speaking in defence of US policy. He left Oxford sooner than necessary to serve in Vietnam. In Britain, his pro-war stance only put him in the line of fire of egg-throwing radicals, but in Vietnam he took hits from Vietcong bullets. After receiving four wounds he was awarded the Silver Star. Having witnessed bloodshed first hand, he can be scathing about triumphalist politicians who talk of the US's "bloodless victory" in the Cold War: "It was anything but a cold war for those of us who went through that."
While in Vietnam, Clark converted to Catholicism. His President developed a love of the flamboyant public confession, but Clark chose a religion that insists on the privacy of the confessional. Like Bill Clinton, he has been married to the same woman for many years, but no whiff of scandal attaches to his name.Of course adultery is a court-martial offence in the US army - at least for all ranks below the Commander-in-Chief.
In Vietnam Clark commanded a mechanised infantry company; his service marked him out for promotion. He was drafted as an aide into the embattled Nixon White House. There he joined the nursery of future US military leaders established by Nixon's post-Watergate chief of staff, Alexander Haig. Haig set the precedent for military men to move via the White House on to lead Nato.
Clark rose steadily towards the top of the US army but never saw action again. His skills as a troop trainer and military organiser, however, meant that his reputation carried on growing. After the Gulf War he was a key figure in the repeated rehearsing of large-scale rapid interventions in the region. But all the time the Bosnian war was attracting more and more US attention and Clark became Washington's key military adviser on the conflict. It would be a mistake to see him as merely a soldier's soldier with no political side. Unlike British generals who affect a bluff distaste for politics, American generals understand the need to lobby their corner.
Like many in the US military he was suspicious of the anti-Vietnam generation of politicians who suddenly turned interventionists on getting elected to high office in the early 1990s. In Bosnia, furthermore, he instinctively seemed to find the professional officer corps of the Serb forces more to his liking than the rag-tag Muslim side.
In 1994, he fell into a propaganda trap when he visited the Serb commander, Ratko Mladic, with Britain's General Michael Rose. Like many brutal men, Mladic could alternate bluster with charm. After a tough discussion, he disarmed Clark with small talk, remarking how much he liked his US general's three-star cap. Impulsively Clark swapped his cap for Mladic's distinctive Serbian hat and walked out wearing it into a blaze of flashing cameras. After a convivial lunch, he even accepted Mladic's service revolver with an engraved message from the general most people held responsible for the worst massacres in Europe since 1945.
This faux pas did not hurt Clark's standing in Washington, because Clinton's real policy was building bridges to the Serbs to persuade them to accept a compromise peace plan. In 1995, after a series of Serb atrocities finally precipitated Nato bombing, Clark played a key role in the Dayton negotiations which ended that war.
After Richard Holbrooke, no American was more involved in dealing with Milosevic than Clark was. Holbrooke's memoirs recall the late-night bonding sessions with Milosevic at Dayton. US policy was to pressure the Muslims and the Croats into a deal acceptable to the Serbian leader, who would do his part by pulling the rug from underneath the local Bosnian Serb warlords, Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. Clark did much to reassure the Serbs that their military security would be respected by the proposed accords.
After Dayton Clark was rewarded with the US command in Panama where he thought a lot about post-Cold War challenges to the US military. He recognised that peacekeeping was likely to occupy much of its time, but he also saw the "moral ambiguity" of peacekeeping operations where each side on the ground regarded the outsiders not as neutrals but as part of the jockeying for power. In fact, his eyes were never really off the Balkans. The souring of relations between the West and Belgrade after 1995 was a complex matter, but the ignition of the Kosovo conflict last year threatened the whole peace assembled at Dayton by Holbrooke and Clark.
Both of them were sent repeatedly to Belgrade as the crisis deepened to try to cajole their old partner Milosevic into backing off from his crackdown in Kosovo. Milosevic's implacable resistance seems to have disappointed and embittered Clark in his attitude to the Serbs.
When it comes to his own political survival, Milosevic treats friendship as an expendable commodity. Milosevic could accept a Nato presence in Bosnia but sees any US-led intervention inside his Rump Yugoslavia as a threat to his own power base. Repeated visits from his Dayton buddies Holbrooke and Clark have not shaken his resolve so far.
Ten days ago, Wesley Clark told the French Higher Institute for Defence Studies that Milosevic was "a tough negotiator and hard bargainer" but one who understood the military realities. "He's wily, shrewd and calculating but we are in a good position today because he respects Nato air power and is very much aware of what it can do." Milosevic may also realise that there is a limit to what air power alone can do. Another US bogyman, Saddam Hussein, has certainly understood that. Wesley Clark faces the likelihood that ground forces will have to go into Kosovo if his President is determined to get Serbian compliance with Nato demands.
Serb politicians have been promising any US interventionists a "second Vietnam" ever since the break-up of Yugoslavia began in 1991. For Clark, "Vietnam served as a military lesson for how such intervention should and should not be handled". Whether he has learned the right lessons from America's bitterest military experience remains to be seen, but in the coming week his commander-in-chief may well stake the credibility of his waning presidency on just that.
A "bloodless" (on the Nato side) Gulf War-style victory in Kosovo would presumably satisfy Clinton. Whatever happens, however, Clark is unlikely to rise further in the military. There is only one post left for a general of his seniority to be promoted to - the Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US armed forces. But, after two successive generals in the post, the US navy is determined to put an admiral in the job. After rising in the shadow of Bill Clinton for so long, perhaps it would be appropriate for the other boy from Arkansas to leave office at the same time as his commander-in-chief.

"In the spring of 1996, a group of
genealogists led by Jeff Murphy organized
the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database Project,
which evolved into the KYGenWeb Project.
The idea was to provide a single entry point for genealogy data and
research for all counties in Kentucky. In addition, the information for
each county would be indexed and cross-linked to make it easier for
researchers to find a name or data that they sought.
In June 1996, as the KYGenWeb
Project was
nearing 100% county coverage, interested volunteers decided to create a
similar set of pages for all states, establishing The USGenWeb Project.
Bill Couch wanted
to follow in the footsteps of the KY Project with a similar site for Arkansas.
Jeff Murphy set up a main page for the states that included a template
for volunteers to use. Announcements were made to genealogy mailing
lists and newsgroups and news of this Project was spread by email and
word of mouth. Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the
efforts for each state, and additional volunteers were sought to create
and maintain websites for every county in the United States. By July of
1996 most states were online with state homepages and most had several
There was a core group of people who
got involved very early
and were key to getting this new Project off the ground. It was these
people who laid the groundwork for assuring the success of The USGenWeb
Project. These people included Jeff Murphy, Dale Schneider, John
Rigdon, Linda Lewis, Joy Fisher, Kim Harris Myers, Billie R. McNamara,
Melissa Calhoun, Nancy Trice, Bill Couch, Betty Sellers, Jim Rothgeb,
Deke Smith, Sharon L. Rowe, Mary Lynne Ellis, Edward Hayden, Richard
Holler, Laura Cook, Gary Steiner, and Diane Miller.
In October 1996, "The USGenWeb Web
White Paper" was distributed
world-wide by The USGenWeb Project. The purpose was to summarize the
progress of the Project and to encourage additional people to
volunteer. The "White Paper" serves as a very good historical outline
of the Project's early days" (USGenWeb Project). The USGenWeb

Hi, I know Gene Bush who owns Munchkin Gardens! He is a wonderful person!
I got some things from them last year unfortunately in the move many of my
plants were lost and many more stolen (about 25%) so I am anxiously awaiting
the arrival of peat pots in the stores so I can begin sowing seeds.
I just traded for some of the Black Mondo Grass last year and then some
seeds came in too. I guess I will have a nice little patch this year
provided the seeds germinate.

Jono Kohan (brother)
Jenji Leslie Kohan (born July 5, 1969) is an American television writer and producer. She is best known as the creator of the Showtime comedy-drama series Weeds and the Netflix comedy-drama series Orange Is the New Black.[1][2] She has received nine Emmy Award nominations, winning one as supervising producer of the comedy series Tracey Takes On....
Early life[edit]
Kohan was born to a Jewish family[3] in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of novelist Rhea Kohan (née Arnold),[4][5][6] and writer, producer, and composer, Alan W. "Buz" Kohan.[7] Kohan has two older brothers, twins Jono and David. She comes from a show business family: Buz is an Emmy Award-winning television writer, and David is an Emmy Award-winning television producer.[8][9]
Kohan says that Buz was the "king of variety television in his day," writing and producing the Oscars and other variety shows. Her mother was a writer.[10] She grew up in Beverly Hills, California.[11] She first attended Brandeis University, and transferred to Columbia University as a sophomore, where she graduated, with a degree in English language and literature, in 1991.[11]
Early career[edit]
On her beginnings, an ex-boyfriend told her that she had "a better chance of getting elected to Congress than getting on the staff of a television show".[1]
Kohan's first job in the industry was with Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which Kohan wrote one episode of, and later said was a "rough entrance" to the business.[10] After a series of writing jobs on shows such as Mad About You, Tracey Takes On..., and Friends, she collaborated with her brother, David Kohan, writing an outside script for Will & Grace.[8] The siblings also worked together on the sitcom The Stones for CBS, which was ultimately unsuccessful.[1] She has discussed the differences between her and her brother's career saying, "David took the big, commercial, funny route; I was always a little darker personally, and not terrific within the system. I had to make my own way."[8]
Kohan was the creator, executive producer, showrunner, and head writer of the Showtime comedy-drama Weeds, starring Mary-Louise Parker.[12][13] The show ran for eight seasons.[1]
Orange Is the New Black[edit]
Kohan is the creator of Netflix's crime drama Orange Is the New Black, an adaptation that was inspired by Piper Kerman's memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison about her experiences in a minimum-security women's prison.[10][14][15]
Kohan runs her writer's room for Orange from Los Angeles, while the show films in New York.[16]
Netflix, as a streaming service distribution model of TV and movie content, is unique in that it does not provide ratings information, so Kohan does not know exact ratings for Orange Is the New Black, which has been characterized as the most watched original series on Netflix, in a new distribution model where binge viewing[17] is enabled by full seasons of shows being made available at once.[18]
Other projects[edit]
Kohan has an overall deal with Lionsgate TV.[19]
Hayworth Theatre[edit]
Kohan owns the historic Hayworth Theatre in Los Angeles.[20] She plans to use the second floor as production offices.[21][21]
Awards and nominations[edit]
Kohan has received nine Emmy Award nominations, winning as supervising producer of Tracey Takes On.... She shared a CableACE Award in 1996 for her work on that show. She received her first nomination for her show Weeds in 2009, for Outstanding Comedy Series. She was nominated for a Producers Guild of America Award in 2007, and two Writers Guild of America Awards.[22]
In 2014, Kohan was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People.[23] In 2014, Orange Is the New Black was nominated for 12 Emmys.[1]
Personal life[edit]
In 1997, Kohan married author and freelance journalist Christopher Noxon, a convert to Judaism.[24][25][26] They have three children, a son Charlie, a daughter Eliza, and youngest son Oscar.[5] They live in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles, California.[27] Kohan and her family are Jewish;[8][9] they belong to two synagogues and a chavurah group, and her children attend Jewish day school and summer camp. Every Friday, Kohan and her extended family have Shabbat dinner together.[5]

Enamel fluorosis is a defect in enamel development that occurs after exposure to excess fluoride. Fluorotic enamel is more porous, and contains more proteins than sound enamel. The mechanisms by which fluoride alters enamel formation remain incompletely understood. In this competing renewal, we propose to build on work that we have completed in previous grant cycles, to test a new paradigm that defines fluorosis as resulting from matrix related changes that occur as fluoride is incorporated into the forming enamel mineral. Specifically, we propose that incorporation of fluoride into the developing enamel crystals alters matrix/protein/proteinase interactions, and also can reduce matrix pH secondary to more rapid mineral formation. These pH-related effects alter ameloblast function and modulation, and enamel maturation. Furthermore, we propose that when matrix proteins or mineralizing apatite are not available to bind fluoride ions (ie presecretory stage), fluoride can have a direct effect on gene expression. A thorough understanding of the mechanisms by which fluoride can alter enamel formation will allow us to develop strategies to minimize the negative effects of fluoride while enhancing the use of fluoride for caries prevention We will investigate these potential mechanisms of dental fluorosis through the following three specific aims.
Specific Aim 1 : To determine the role of fluoride incorporation into the growing enamel mineral on apatite/ protein interactions and amelogenin hydrolysis. Mass spectrometry will be used to determine how fluoride-containing apatites alter amelogenin hydrolysis both in vitro and in vivo.
Specific Aim 2 : To determine how fluoride-related changes in enamel matrix pH affects ameloblast modulation and mineral deposition. Mouse models with a reduced capacity to buffer enamel matrix related pH changes will be used to correlate changes in matrix pH to ameloblast modulation and enamel mineralization.
Specific Aim 3 : To determine the effects of fluoride on the expression of genes related to enamel matrix protein deposition and pH regulation. Laser capture micro-dissection will be used to separately collect presecretory, secretory and maturation stage ameloblasts from mice with and without fluoride exposure for either whole transcript comparisons, or qPCR analysis of genes that modulate pH in the developing enamel matrix. These studies will be done with an exceptional team of international investigators, and we anticipate that at the completion of this grant cycle, that we will have a thorough understanding of how fluoride exposure during enamel development results in fluorosis.
Enamel fluorosis is a defect in enamel development seen after exposure to excess of fluoride in early childhood. We have shown that the mechanisms responsible for enamel fluorosis include both fluoride related effects in the developing enamel matrix, and altered gene expression. In this proposal we further explore the mechanisms of fluorosis, by analyzing changes in matrix protein hydrolysis, ameloblast modulation and stage specific gene expression in rodent incisor models for enamel fluorosis.

1 Samuel 5New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Capture of the Ark Provokes God
5 Now the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon. 3 When the Ashdodites arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and set him in his place again. 4 But when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. And the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold; [a]only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. 5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor all who enter Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6 Now the hand of the Lord was heavy on the Ashdodites, and He ravaged them and smote them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territories. 7 When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god." 8 So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?" And they said, "Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath." And they brought the ark of the God of Israel around. 9 After they had brought it around, the hand of the Lord was against the city with very great confusion; and He smote the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out on them. 10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And as the ark of God came to Ekron the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought the ark of the God of Israel around to [b]us, to kill [c]us and [d]our people." 11 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it will not kill [e]us and [f]our people." For there was a deadly confusion throughout the city; the hand of God was very heavy there. 12 And the men who did not die were smitten with tumors and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

Charles Atherton Memorial Lecture
The design of the nation's capital has evolved through a complex interaction of aesthetics and ideals, politics, and personalities. From an incomplete composition of brick buildings and informal gardens into an ordered landscape of white classical temples, the image of Washington, D.C. was transformed by visionary planning and implementation. The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts was created by Congress in 1910 as an independent design review agency to guide the ongoing work of representing national ideals in the design of the capital city. The establishment of this seven-member, presidentially appointed commission on design can be traced to the Senate Park Commission of 1901, whose grand plan focused on the Mall as the symbolic core of the capital—and the nation—and proposed that it be a formal, public space framed by monumental architecture to express the political aspirations of the American democracy. Secretary of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, Thomas Luebke, FAIA, will present the evolving role of the Commission of Fine Arts in the context of the artistic, social, and political circumstances that fostered the commission's creation and the subsequent trends that have informed its decisions. As design philosophies and styles changed over the century, the commission also shifted its emphasis—from Beaux-Arts architecture and planning principles to the modernist pragmatism of midcentury, the urban redevelopment, and historicist trends of the late twentieth century, and to the contemporary era characterized by issues of security, sustainability, and information technology.
The Charles H. Atherton Memorial Lecture program commemorates the life and legacy of Charles Atherton, who served for almost four decades as Secretary of the U. S. Commission of Fine Arts. The lecture series is dedicated to providing a forum for discourse on the planning and design of Washington, D.C.

Canonical Demos Physical Awareness Prototype in Ubuntu
Prototype uses webcam to sense user activity and trigger appropriate reactions.
Over at Canonical's design blog, Christian Giordano introduced an early prototype for a user-aware framework that tracks a user's movements and responds by triggering different actions.
The blog details a few examples such as having the computer initiate full-screen mode when a user leans back in their chair. Canonical also toyed with a parallax technique that shifted the desktop's reference point depending on where the user was positioned in relationship to it.
It's one thing to try and describe these processes and another to demonstrate them. Check out the video: http://vimeo.com/14959854
No word on when or even if this prototype will make it to a future version of Ubuntu, but with this, along with the uTouch framework Canonical released a few weeks ago, the company seems to be extremely interested in new ways to interact with a PC.

Significance: Crime, substance use problems, suicide, and severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, are associated with enormous personal distress and societal costs. Identifying the causes of these problems, especially very early in life, is a crucial research endeavor. Researchers have identified numerous putative environmental factors that are associated with increased risk for these severe problems, including maternal smoking during pregnancy, maternal stress during pregnancy, maternal age at childbearing, and advancing paternal age at childbearing. We do not know, however, whether these risk factors are casual risk factors for severe forms of psychopathology or are merely indices of family confounding. Our limited understanding of the underlying causal mechanisms is due, in part, to the fact that most existent studies of these risks have failed to use research designs that can test alternative hypotheses, especially the role of environmental and genetic selection factors. Innovation: We propose to utilize powerful quasi-experimental designs, natural experiments that can pull-apart co-occurring risk mechanisms and account for unmeasured genetic and environmental processes, to explore the effects of several putative early risk factors. In particular, we will compare differentially exposed full siblings, an approach that rules out all genetic factors that could account for the statistical association between early putative risks and later outcomes, as well as all environmental factors that siblings share. We will also compare differentially exposed half siblings, offspring of full siblings (full cousins), offspring of half siblings (half cousins), and offspring of twins. These additional comparisons will enable us to provide converging evidence for our findings and identify the source any familial selection factors (genetic and/or environmental). Detailed assessments of offspring, parental, and community- level risks will further enable us to identify the mechanisms through which early risk factors are associated with severe psychopathology. Approach: We propose to analyze a large dataset that includes information on every individual who was born or lived in Sweden from 1940-1995 (NH7,500,000), which includes measures of early environmental risks, correlated familial and community risks, and well-validated indices of severe criminal, substance use, suicide, and mental health problems from Swedish national registries. Because the dataset also includes information on the biological relatedness of each individual with all of their family members, we are able to conduct numerous quasi-experimental studies of the associations by comparing individuals who differ in both their environmental and genetic risk. Environment and Investigators: Our experienced team includes international experts in the risks associated with early prenatal and perinatal factors;the assessment and etiology of severe psychopathology;the use of large, national registries;and the use of quasi-experimental designs to study putative environmental factors. Indiana University and the Karolinska Institutet provide strong environments and relevant resources.
The staggering burden on individuals and society caused by violence, substance use problems, suicide, and severe mental illness has been well documented. Researchers have identified early risk factors that predict these major societal problems, but, it is still unclear whether putative early risks are truly causal or whether part-or most-of the associations with these risks are due to background familial factors. In order to improve prevention programs and our understanding of early risk factors, the current proposal seeks support to analyze a unique resource, a large dataset that includes every individual in Sweden for roughly five decades, relying on natural experiments to rigorously test causal hypotheses.

Use the formulas:
(Potential energy) =
M g H = (Mass)*(g)*(height)
Weight = M*g
Kinetic energy of a rolling solid ball = (7/10) M V^2
(This includes the energy associated with rotation)
Show your work if you need further assistance.
1.Given :h=2m,m=5kg potential energy=mgh=5×10×2=100 J
2.Given :potential energy=40J,h=10m Potential Energy =mgh since,

The overarching purpose of this project is to advance our understanding ofthe influence of novel membrane associated steroid receptors on multiple phases of breast cancer progression. Progesterone is a key regulator of the membrane-associated steroid receptors and the importance of progesterone with respect to breast cancer etiology is highlighted by data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHl) randomized trials indicating that while use of combined estrogen and progestin menopausal hormone therapy (CHT) increases risk of breast cancer, use of estrogen alone does not. Dr. Li and his colleagues led the first of many subsequent studies to document that the risk of breast cancer associated with exogenous progestin use is primarily restricted to a more substantial increase in the risk of breast cancers of a lobular histologic type. However, the biological mechanisms underlying the strong relationship between progestin use and lobular breast cancer risk are essentially unknown. The findings from our population-based breast cancer studies (Drs. Porter and Li) and from in vitro studies in Dr. Ashley's laboratory identifying the presence and importance ofthe MPRs and CXCL12 and its receptor, CXCR4 in hormone-regulated reproductive pathways, lead us to hypothesize that both membrane associated receptors and metastatic chemoattractants, such as hormone-regulated CXCL12 and CXCR4, contribute to the differential impact of CHT use on risks and biology of lobular vs. ductal breast cancer. We plan to evaluate the contribution of membrane progesterone and estrogen receptor expression and downstream effects in relation to E+P use and histological subtype in well characterized ILC and IDC tumors from a large ongoing population-based study. Whole genome gene expression will be assessed in a subset of the lLC and IDC tumors to identify and characterize new factors and pathways relevant to the relationship between progesterone and breast cancer. This study will provide vital information relevant to breast cancer etiology and could lead to the identification of novel prevention and therapeutic targets. This project will also increase the capacity of NMSU to conduct competitive research through providing training on state ofthe art molecular techniques such as the DASL assay. Additionally, it partners a junior scientist. Dr. Ryan Ashley at NMSU, with two senior FHCRC scientists (Drs. Porter and Li) who will contribute directly to Dr. Ashley's career development.

Kathey, > 1) For a change like this I would think there would be some functional > tests needed and of course documentation changes. So how do they come > to be? It would be good to have the functional tests go in with the > change and have someone at least signed up to do the doc changes. > Otherwise how do we keep track? Yes, definitely, I'm currently looking at the testing framework. There already are tests for most of the cases in dbManagerLimits.java, but we probably need some more... Documentation: this page would need to be changed... http://incubator.apache.org/derby/manuals/reference/sqlj268.html#HDRIDLENGTHLIMITS Is the documentation in svn somewhere? > 2) What are the implications of this change on soft upgrade? No known implications, but as always there might be a bug in the patch or it might not be possible to increase some of the identifier to 128 because they are limited by the implementation. --> 1) tests are REQUIRED!!! > 3)If we change the limits what do we do about this line in our charter? > > "And it also means developers can later migrate to other databases if > they so choose." > Yes, I this still applies: There are always issues if you migrate to another database, the only difference is, that you couldn't just put the sql dump into db2 anymore if you use longer identifiers. philipp

Everytime we go we have a great time. The personnel are awesome, food is great and not expensive at all. They also have a gift shop which isnt very pricey either. During the game you can buy raffle tickets and win different things. The kids can participate in different things as well. They are very much about the community.
The Beloit Snappers are a good entertainment value and sometimes even have post game fireworks, Pohlman Field is a fan friendly small ballpark which allows you get up close to the potential future major leaguers!
Pohlman park is one of the older ballparks in the Midwest League. It has all the facilities you expect, and their prices are good. It's age makes it more like parks in the Northwoods League, but nonetheless, the experience is a good one.
Pohlman Field isn't the flashiest or really the best ballpark around in the minor leagues. However, they do their best to help out and make it very affordable to go. The food and drinks are about half of what you would expect in most major league stadiums. It's very accessible and it is good fun for the kids.
Pohlman Field is always a great time. We've always had free tickets and love to watch the Snappers. Beer and food can be a bit pricey. They do $1 at the end of the night which draws a huge crowd. The Snappers always do fun things between innings to keep the kids and adults amused. It really is a fun...
Enjoy a AAA baseball game in a hometown atmosphere. Watch as you see players move up to the big league teams.
Fun to see future Oakland A's stars. Friendly staff, fun activities, and above average food for a ballpark.
As I approached, I thought my GPS was wrong because I was in a pretty residential neighborhood and Yes, that is where the park is. The field is surrounded by trees. The concessions were reasonably priced and the team store had a wide selection of merchandise. And of course there were all the between inning activities that make minor league...
Loved the field nice place to visit. It was clean and the seats were comfortable.
Could be better b/c the stadium is really old. Almost guaranteed to get a foul ball if you go to a game in April or May. I love baseball so it's great seeing all the minor league players.

By Rita CharlestonFor the TimesLegendary funk-soul band Tower of Power will take center stage at Glenside's Keswick Theatre on this coming Friday and Saturday. Also on the bill and in concert will be the Average White Band.Touring and releasing albums almost non-stop since they first emerged on the Bay Area music scene in 1968, Tower of Power is still bringing the funk more than 40 years later, and are in demand as the backing band for legendary artists including Elton John, Bonnie Raitt, Aaron Neville and Santana.Larry Braggs has been lead vocalist with the band since October 2000, but getting the gig wasn't that easy, he said."Over time, there had been a lot of lead singers in Tower, but at the time I was trying to join up, every other singer they auditioned tried to duplicate what others before them had done. I just decided to be myself."But Braggs didn't realize how difficult it would be to become part of the band."When I joined Tower it didn't take me long to realize I was not the musician I thought I was. In every other band I was always the front man, the focal point, the one who took everyone else to another level. But that's not how it worked with Tower. Singing is kind of the last element in the equation. You don't get that impression watching the band. Within the band, though, trust me, that's how it is. It's very humbling."Still, no matter how humbling it might have been, Braggs, 41, a native of Mississippi, always had confidence in his abilities, noting that he always loved singing and knew he'd grow up to do it professionally one day."I started singing in the second grade but didn't know it would become my career until I reached college," he explained. "That's when a friend of mine told me that no matter what else I might do, nothing in life would make me as happy as making music. And I knew he was right. Certain people are just built that way, and making music brought me so much joy that I knew I had to do it for as long as I could."So when the opportunity to sing with Tower came about Bragg was excited — until he realized he would be on probation."When the singer before me was fired, they called me to join the band — temporarily," he said. "They fired the guy they really wanted and asked if I could do the shows that were coming up, and I said sure. But that meant I had to learn eighteen to twenty songs to sing with them quickly and without any rehearsal or anything. I just came in as a replacement until they could find someone they really wanted."With any other man, that might have been a hard pill to swallow, but not with Braggs."I know there were comparisons and a lot of them," he said, "but I didn't care. When musicians are looking for a gig they just do what has to be done. Sometimes when a band is looking for a singer, they're looking for the perfect person. But I didn't think about how that would work. I was just trying to learn all the songs I could when I was on tour with the band and keep going. And on that tour I could see the audience loved me and were very, very happy with my performance."That was 12 years ago, and Braggs and the Tower of Power are still going strong with each other. The band itself celebrated some 44 years together. And the reason they are still gong strong is a little bit of a mystery."But I think it may be because people still attach memories to songs by the band," Braggs said. "Over the years, Tower has set incredible standards and have achieved a sort of a cult status. It's a musicians' band — musicians play in it and musicians come to see us. Berklee College in Boston even has a course dedicated to the dynamics of the band. The Tower name is known around the world."As for Braggs himself, he has a major goal: "To make the group forget every singer they've ever had. Over the years, I've been in many bands, and this is another step up on playing on yet another level. But I still don't consider myself a success."And when will he accept the title?"I'm not sure," he said. "Today, I'm just a hard-working singer who's still perfecting my craft. But I know one thing for sure. Real success will come when I have the ability to give back to the community and make the world a much better place to live in."For times and ticket information, call 215-572-7650.
The Kid with a Bike (Le gamin au vélo) is a low-key, French-language film that will go unnoticed by many movie watchers (especially ones that ignore any and all foreign films with subtitles).
The Kid with a Bike (Le gamin au vélo) is a low-key, French-language film that will go unnoticed by many movie watchers (especially ones that ignore any and all foreign films with subtitles).Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the movie offers some intrigue, excitement and glimpse of compassion in humanity.While the bike serves a central purpose in the movie (and the kid certainly spends a lot of time on the bike or talking about it) the film is about much more.Written and directed by Belgian brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, the movie focuses on troubled young Cyril (newcomer Thomas Doret in his first movie role), whose father Guy (Jérémie Renier) has recently abandoned him without a goodbye, a note or anything at all.Cyril goes on a hunt to find his bicycle, thinking it will lead him back to his father. By chance, he meets a hairdresser named Samantha (Cécile de France) who finds his bicycle and agrees to become his weekend guardian (he spends the weekdays at an orphanage).Under Samantha's weekend watches, Cyril goes on a series of misadventures and rebellions involving his bicycle, finding his father (who wants no place in his life) and hanging out with a bad influence, drug-dealing teenager. He tests Samantha's patience every step of the way, but still, she's determined to see the good in Cyril and help him out, thus becoming a loving, consistent force in his young life.There are some dark layers to the story. The rejection Cyril receives from his father on multiple occasions is hard to watch, but it makes things more compelling, knowing the kid's emotional turmoil. Cyril's brief foray into criminal mischief also adds some needed tension.This is the first flick from the Dardenne brothers that I have seen, but they have also written and directed better known movies including L'Enfant and Rosetta. The Kid with a Bike never truly wows me, but I did find it easy to stay fully engaged in what's happening at all times. The movie dives right into Cyril trying to track down both his father and bicycle from the opening moments, immediately grabbing the audience.The dramatic scenes are strong, and there are some heartwarming moments such as Samantha's draw to the young man. Sure, it is inexplicable and almost unbelievable that a strange woman would take to a child she doesn't know so quickly, but it works.Her simple acts of kindness toward Cyril remind the audience that some goodness still remains in people.Doret was quite the natural for his first big screen performance. I felt like his emotions were real, and he was tasked with portraying everything from rage to disappointment to peace.There is a nail-biter of a moment toward the end, and it's hard to predict which way the story will go. That's different from a lot of Hollywood movies where one can predict the ending way before it happens. ••Movie Grade: B

Click Here for Cadet Rules and Regulations
You are Tomorrow's Leader
Our military structure gives you a unique opportunity to learn leadership and management skills that will set you apart from your peers. Wentworth alumni attribute their success in both the military and business sectors to the leadership skills they learned at Wentworth.
As a cadet, you will be a part of the Wentworth Military Academy Corps of Cadets, which includes the high school and college. The Corps is led by a Cadet Battalion Commander, who is a sophomore in college. Under him/her there is a chain of command that forms the basis for a remarkably effective leadership laboratory.
Leadership begins with the individual. Each cadet in the Cadet Corps is responsible for training, inspiring, and leading the individuals who report to him or her. As a new cadet, you learn Wentworth's history, traditions, and the basics of the military system. Because good followers become good leaders and opportunities for leadership exist at all levels, you will quickly find yourself moving up the chain-of-command to ever-increasing challenges.
Step up and Shine
Backing up the cadet chain-of-command is Wentworth's disciplinary system that rewards good behavior and establishes clear consequences for violations. Overseen by the Commandant of Cadets and a staff of dedicated professionals, the Rules & Regulations sets clear goals and rewards for achievement, and clear limits on what is not allowed.
The value of the leadership skills you will learn at Wentworth cannot be overestimated. If your goal is a military career, you will make a seamless transition to military life, with years of experience under your belt. If your goal is to make it in the business world, you'll have a record of leadership, responsibility and experience that will propel you further and faster than your peers.
That's a call our cadets hear daily. It's the signal to assemble in formation. Daily room and personal inspections develop self-discipline and pride in appearance. Moving in a common direction with a purposeful stride builds teamwork and esprit de corps. Cadet leaders have the opportunity to exert their leadership and motivational skills.
Here is an example of a routine Monday-Friday for the cadets.

A strong community builds lasting relationships, trust and deepens a meaningful life. Wentworth's campus is drug, alcohol, and tobacco free.
Meals are taken together in the dining hall three times a day and are very much a part of the pulse of daily cadet life. Food is nutritious, plentiful and yes, it's good.
Our cadets get up early and the days are busy but there's always time to write a letter, send an e-mail, and enjoy friends. Lexington has a water park, movie theaters, bookstores, coffee shops, and even McDonalds for your weekends. Kansas City is a short drive away and offers all of the shopping, sights, and cultural and sporting events of a large city.
All Wentworth cadets wear uniforms. Common dress promotes an egalitarian environment in which all cadets have an equal chance to excel and be recognized. Social or economic status outside of Wentworth becomes irrelevant. Awards and medals, the symbols of personal achievement at Wentworth, take the place of designer labels. Status at Wentworth comes through achievement: making good grades, proving your leadership skills, and earning privileges based solely on performance and attitude. Our cadets learn that what counts in life is setting, meeting, and exceeding performance goals, not material possessions. Cadets are expected to maintain a neat and professional appearance. They learn to take pride in their appearance and demeanor.
What another school calls a dormitory, we call a barracks – yet they're essentially the same. The major difference is what you are permitted to have in your room. With academics the focus, we limit the distractions and keep things simple. Each cadet has a Wentworth issued Google Chromebook computer (no personal computers), and can bring an alarm clock/radio or iPod (no speakers), and a few personal items such as photographs from home. Rooms, like your personal appearance, are expected to be kept clean and organized. Daily room inspections by cadets and staff ensure a safe and clean environment, and hold students accountable for the condition of their room and their possessions.
Every cadet has a roommate. Cadets learn to build trust and work together to achieve collective as well as individual goals. Friendships forged here are often more meaningful. Our graduates will tell you that the friends they make at Wentworth are life-long.
