The police weren't doing a good job of policing themselves. That's the basic thrust of a yearlong Justice Department review of the San Diego Police Department released Tuesday.
Police and city officials had asked for the feds' help after 17 officer misconduct cases in recent years and multiple lawsuits and criminal trials had uncovered evidence of systemic problems within the department for handling officer discipline.
The report largely confirmed those concerns.
"On a broad level, [researchers] did not identify any particular policy failure or common underlying factor that tied the misconduct cases together," the report said. "Rather, it was gaps in policies and practices, a lack of consistent supervision at many levels and a failure to hold personnel accountable that allowed misconduct to occur and go undetected for some time."

In brief
Pirates and magic and gargoyles-- oh my! This is a fantastical pirate tale that will make landlubbers wish for life on the high seas.
Hilary Westfield has always dreamed of being a pirate, but when the Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates turns down her application after discovering she is a girl, Hilary finds herself shipped off to finishing school rather than sailing the seas. A good pirate won't let a little thing like finishing school keep her down though, and Hilary (along with her gargoyle) run off to make their swashbuckling dreams come true.
This is an absolutely delightful story. The good guys are charming, funny and roguish (depending on the character) and the villains are just over-the-top enough to be fun. I can't wait for the next book in this magical adventure series!
I'm the lucky librarian who gets to choose all the library's kids, teen and audiovisual materials. That means I read reviews for a living and my "to read" list is never-ending! I mostly read books for kids and teens, but I adore cozy mysteries too especially culinary cozies and even crack open a few thrillers and memoirs. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and I like to bake, power walk and hang out with my family.

If there's a theme to this year's Gemini Awards nominees, it's that big, flashy productions are what sells and have become the touchstone of the Canadian television industry.
CTV's popular police series Flashpoint, now in its fourth season, garnered the most nominations, receiving 17 nods, including best dramatic series and best direction for a drama, it was announced at a Toronto news conference Wednesday.
HBO Canada's new half-hour comedy Call Me Fitz, starring Jason Priestley as a used-car salesman, was second with 16 nominations, most notably for best comedy program or series. It vies in that category with another multiple nominee, TMN/Movie Central's Living in My Car, which received 10 nominations.
The industry awards honouring the best in Canadian broadcasting and digital-media production will be held in Toronto on Aug. 30 and Aug. 31, but the 26th Annual Gemini Awards gala will be broadcast live on CBC-TV a week later on Wednesday, Sept. 7.
History's miniseries The Kennedys and TMN/Movie Central's The Pillars of the Earth also received 10 nominations each.
Flashpoint's multiple nods, however, emphasize the Canadian industry's current heavy reliance on cross-border productions, a trend the series helped introduce when its episodes began airing on CBS.
"[Canadian shows] are a very sought-after product around the world, and they [the producers] work the international markets assiduously. So, they are held in high regard," said Helga Stephenson, interim CEO of the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, which administers the Gemini Awards.
"Part of the reason is that they need the international markets to finance productions," she said, adding that, "I don't think younger people care where a show comes from. It's either cool or it's not cool."
"Clearly it's an expensive show to make," said Flashpoint leading man Enrico Colantoni, who is up for best performance by an actor in a continuing leading dramatic role. "We're starting to make wonderful television shows which are competing in the world market. We've got Rookie Blue, we've got The Listener. These are shows that are following the same formula: Let's put some money into it, let's up the production values."
Colantoni will finish filming Flashpoint's fourth season in mid-September, and he noted that the show has been renewed by CTV for a fifth season. Whether CBS in the United States will follow suit is unclear. CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said Wednesday that there was "no decision yet" on more episodes of the series on her network.
Yet, the U.S. market is not the be-all and end-all for many Canadian productions.
"What's interesting about this show," said Teza Lawrence, one of the executive producers for Call Me Fitz, "is that it was sold around the world before it was sold in the U.S." Call Me Fitz appears in around 82 countries, according to Lawrence.
Extra production money from international sales particularly helps longer-running series. "Especially in the second and third season, when you want to raise the bar [on production values], having those sales allows you to push it that little bit extra," Lawrence added.

However, carrying out a process of evaluation depends on the evaluation capacity of organisations implementing and participating in adaptation efforts. Drawing upon Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA)-supported projects, this paper looks at the challenges to and opportunities for improving evaluation capacity in organisations. This working paper provides a conceptual framing of evaluation and evaluation capacity building, underlining their role in climate change adaptation. It considers the challenges to effectively evaluating climate adaptation in Africa and to building related capacity within organisations, and makes suggestions for overcoming them based on the experience of CCAA projects. The paper draws lessons useful for building evaluation capacity around adaptation within African organisations and for cultivating an evaluative culture. In addition to their importance for adaptation, such capacity and culture are necessary to access and manage adaptation finance.

Overdependence on subsistence rain-fed agriculture in these areas calls for the identification of sustainable adaptation strategies. A study was therefore conducted in Chikwawa, a semi-arid district in southern Malawi, to: (1) assess community's perception of a changing climate against empirical evidence, (2) determine their local adaptive measures, (3) evaluate the potential of irrigated agriculture as an adaptive measure in household food security and (4) challenges over access to available water resources. The study employed focus group discussions and key informant interviews to assess people's perceptions of climate change and variability and their desired interventions. To validate the people's perceptions, rainfall and temperature data for the period 1960–2010 were analysed. A participatory complete randomised experimental design in both rain-fed and dry season–irrigated conditions was conducted to assess a maize cropping system that would improve adaptation. The study established persistent declining yields from rain-fed production in part because of perennial rainfall failure. In response, the community has shifted its focus to irrigation as an adaptation strategy, which has in turn triggered water conflicts in the community over the control of the resource. Water legislation however fails to adequately provide for rules governing sharing of water resources between various stakeholders. This article therefore recommends development of an appropriate institutional framework that forms a strong basis for equitable distribution of water for irrigation in areas most vulnerable to extreme climate events – including droughts and floods. 2016-04-08T00:00:00Z Regional economic communities and climate change adaptation in Africa : background paper on lessons learned from CCAA http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:8080/dspace/handle/10625/55663 Title: Regional economic communities and climate change adaptation in Africa : background paper on lessons learned from CCAA Authors: Denton, Fatima; Kituyi, Evans; Lo, Henri; Wouapi, Hervé Abstract: Regional institutions have a critical role to play in supporting solutions to trans-boundary issues related to a changing climate, including adaptation. Focusing on the eight Regional Economic Communities (RECs) recognized by the African Union and established under the Abuja Treaty in 1991, this paper demonstrates the ability of regional institutions to pool existing knowledge and resources, leverage local and national policies, and give a voice and robust bargaining position to African countries at international negotiations. Relying on secondary data and case studies drawn from the Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) research program, the paper demonstrates the significance of regional approaches to climate change adaptation, and suggests ways in which RECs may be strengthened to effectively exploit their potential and harness opportunities for leadership on climate-compatible development. Four potential institutional models are proposed, and key REC-specific institutional and structural barriers to effective delivery are highlighted. Limited regulatory frameworks, lack of support from member states, and insufficient human and financial capacity are challenges to effectively addressing vulnerability to climate change.

Abstract: Institutions play a critical role in shaping climate vulnerability and impacts – for example through mediating between individual and collective responses, and determining access to resources. As a result of this, institutions also have a role to play in adaptation, but it is important to identify how they can act as to enable it, as opposed to constrain it. Understanding what constitutes an optimal institutional framework for adaptation is lacking – and is often impeded by the nature of research which focuses on a small number of contexts. This report addresses this gap by synthesizing findings from a number of participatory action research (PAR) projects conducted as part of the Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) program. Building on empirical research in 19 African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Malawi, Morocco, Mozambique, Senegal, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe), the key messages regarding institutions will inform future adaptation research and practice. The findings illuminate four inter-related key critical elements of institutional arrangements that successfully enable climate change adaptation. First, the role of local informal institutions is typically overlooked relative to national formal institutions. However, local informal institutions play a key role in enabling and/or constraining adaptation, and thus attempts should be made to overcome the current disconnect. Second, coordination among and between institutions is essential, particularly given the wide variety and type of institutions that are variously involved in/affect adaptation at different levels. A well-coordinated institutional framework should take into account the three main chains of connection: horizontal coordination at the national level; horizontal coordination at the local level; and vertical coordination between national and local institutions. Third, the most successful institutional landscape is a plural one that incorporates different institutions (national, local, formal and informal) all performing complementary functions to enable effective adaptation. There should be no need for any one institution to have priority or prominence over another if coordination is effective. Fourth, the effective coordination of a plural landscape of institutions operating a different scales requires the formation of effective partnerships which, in turn, are driven by and/or supported by strong leadership. In many of the CCAA projects this leadership process was initiated and/or catalyzed by the PAR projects; but overcoming resistance to build trust and create a shared vision typically takes time and patience. These four key messages add to our theoretical understanding of institutions and adaptation, and the key features of an effective institutional framework. They can also inform the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) program, by highlighting key elements of institutions which need to be examined in order to determine where there is a potential role to contribute to the development of effective institutional framework to successfully support adaptation in climate hotspots.

Yet, little existing empirical work examines how decision-makers can facilitate such responses. This paper suggests that in order to assess whether responses to climate risks and threats are transformational, it is necessary to move away from a focus only on outcomes and scale and towards the multiple dimensions of social responses and the processes through which transformational changes are realized. In so doing, the paper seeks to move the discussion on transformational change towards the processes and sustainability of adaptation interventions, and the changes they trigger. Drawing on the literature on transformational change in organizational theory and social–ecological systems, the paper first develops a framework with which to examine and assess development and adaptation interventions. The framework is then applied to eight interventions made between 2005 and 2011 in diverse socioecological settings across Africa. All interventions were underpinned by participatory action research methodologies. Our analysis shows how a focus on change agents, generalizability of field-scale adaptation mechanisms and pathways, and sustainability of outcomes, combined with attention to the scale and scope of change processes, provides information that can inform policy on the kinds of intervention that are likely to support long-term and sustainable responses to climate impacts. Although several of the cases mainly illustrate incremental adaptations, use of the analytical framework pointed towards the wider processes of systems change that might lead to transformative trajectories. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z

Sheng Shicai (Chinese: 盛世才; pinyin: Shèng Shìcái; Wade–Giles: Sheng Shih-ts'ai; 1897 – July 13, 1970, Taiwan[3]) was a Chinese warlord who ruled Xinjiang (Sinkiang) province from April 12, 1933 to August 29, 1944.
Born in Kaiyuan, Liaoning Province, he served under the Guominjun. He was first sent to Xinjiang (Sinkiang) to work for Governor Jin Shuren in 1930. He repressed the Kumul Rebellion (February 1931 - October 1931) with support from the Soviet Union, but in exchange made several agreements with the USSR that gave the Soviets virtual control over the Xinjiang province.
The Urumqi Soviet Consul General effectively was in control of governing, with Sheng required to consult them for any decision he made.[4] The Consul was the de facto power in Xinjiang, being the greatest in significance.[5] Xinjiang was considered a "Soviet Satellite", being under total Soviet control.[6]
Sheng launched his own purge in Xinjiang to coincide with Stalin's Great Purge in 1937 during the Xinjiang War (1937). Sheng received assistance from the NKVD, Sheng and the Soviets alleged a massive Trotskyist conspiracy and a "Fascist Trotskyite plot" to destroy the Soviet Union. The Soviet Consul General Garegin Apresoff, General Ma Hushan, Ma Shaowu, Mahmud Sijan, the official leader of the Xinjiang province Huang Han-chang and Hoja-Niyaz were among the 435 alleged conspirators in the plot. Xinjiang became under virtual Soviet control. Stalin opposed the Chinese Communist Party.[7]
At Joseph Stalin's request, Sheng joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) in August 1938 and received Party Card No.1859118 directly from Molotov during his secret visit to Moscow. Xinjiang, under Sheng's rule, was thus a part of China in name only, with every major decision of Sheng's regime cleared through the Soviet Consulate in Tihwa (Chinese: 迪化, today known as Urumqi). During his years as Governor he was anti-minority (anti-Uyghur and anti-Kazakh), and was known for his pervasive use of torture.[citation needed]
Pan-Turkic Jadidists and East Turkestan Independence activists Muhammad Amin Bughra and Masud Sabri rejected the Soviets and Sheng Shicai's imposition of the name "Uyghur people" upon the Turkic people of Xinjiang. They wanted instead the name "Turkic ethnicity" (Tujue zu in Chinese) to be applied to their people. Masud Sabri also viewed the Hui people as Muslim Han Chinese and separate from his own people.[8] The names "Türk" or "Türki" in particular were demanded by Bughra as the real name for his people. He slammed Sheng Shicai for his designation of Turkic Muslims into different ethnicities which could sow disunion among Turkic Muslims.[9]
In 1942, sensing the Soviet Union's demise, he turned anti-Soviet, expelling Soviet advisors and executing many Han Communists, including Mao Zemin, Mao Zedong's brother, in hopes of securing the backing of the Kuomintang (KMT, Chinese Nationalist Party) for his continued rule. However, when the war swung in favor of the Soviet Union after the Battle of Stalingrad, Sheng attempted to expel the KMT, and requested Soviet aid in a letter to Stalin. Stalin refused to assist Sheng, and sent Sheng's letter to the KMT party leader Chiang Kai-shek as Sheng miscalculated and underestimated the KMT's extent of power. The KMT removed Sheng in August 1944.
Chen Lifu of the CC Clique recorded his personal encounters with Sheng in his memoir. According to him, Sheng was distrustful and suspicious of everyone else. He aligned "machine guns in front of his...residence at night... had all his filing cabinets locked".[10]
Isa Alptekin lead a delegation of 36 Uyghurs to support murderers in Lanzhou who in revenge for Sheng Shicai killing their family members, slaughtered a five-year-old girl, and a seven-year-old boy who were Sheng's niece and nephew and nine other relatives of Sheng Shicai. Isa said that the slaughter was justified.[11]
Sheng left Xinjiang on September 11, 1944 to join the Kuomintang's Republic of China government as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry. Around fifty trucks accompanied him, loaded with his personal property, "acquired" in Xinjiang over fifteen years, including gold (est. 1,500 kg) and silver (est.15,000 kg). He fled to Taiwan along with the KMT at the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. In 1958, he co-authored Sinkiang: Pawn or Pivot with American political scientist Allen S. Whiting.
The 13th edition of Turkistan Islamic Party's magazine "Islamic Turkistan" included an article by Abdullah attacking Sheng Shicai and his rule over xinjiang from the Kumul Rebellion to the 1944 Ili Rebellion.[12]
Personal life[edit]
Sheng had four children with his wife. Two of his daughters were born while he was in Xinjiang.[13]

The 2016 application is now closed. We are no longer accepting applications.
Application Deadline (including all supporting materials):
Friday, June 17th at 5PM EST.
Program Dates:
Saturday, October 8 - Sunday, October 9, 2016 (BARNARD BOUND – for students admitted to the Barnard Bound program)
Monday, October 10, 2016 (OPEN HOUSE – All Barnard Bound participants will be automatically registered for our Open House.)
What is Barnard Bound?
Barnard Bound provides a taste of both Barnard College and New York City for promising young women who are high school seniors and self-identify as students of color (which we define as individuals from Black/African-American, Hispanic/Latina, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian, bi- and multi-racial backgrounds), especially those students who couldn't otherwise afford to visit.
Participants spend the first two days touring parts of Manhattan and experiencing its rich diversity of culture, neighborhoods, and of course, food, returning to campus to get a feel for student life and discovering more about Barnard on Monday during Open House. The program also introduces students to important details about our admissions and financial aid processes. It's our goal to help your students learn as much as they can about our unique and vibrant community.
We hope that your students will also see that Barnard is both affordable and attainable.
How do students apply to Barnard Bound?
Students must complete the online Barnard Bound Student Application. Please note that students will be unable to save and return to this application before submission, so they should be prepared to complete and submit their application in one sitting. We have provided the short answer/essay prompts below. Please share them with your students.
Note: Students will be asked to reply to two short answer questions (250 words) and a longer 500 word response within the application. Please encourage your advisees to write their responses in a word document and paste them into the application when ready to complete and submit:
250 Words
1) Why you are considering Barnard College?
2) Please describe your most meaningful extra-curricular activity. What do you do there and what is its importance to you?
500 Words
Describe a circumstance or situation that challenged you and how you resolved the situation. How did you utilize your support system to help you?
In addition to the application, the student's guidance counselor or mentor at a college access organization must submit the Barnard Bound Adviser Recommendation to nominate a student. We hope you can help us find intellectually curious students who would be wonderful fits for our community and would benefit from the mentorship and support that Barnard provides.
Finally, a transcript must be sent with the nomination form (this may be an unofficial transcript). Transcripts and forms may be scanned and emailed or faxed. Please do not send forms or transcripts via postal mail.
The deadline for the student application and all supporting materials is Friday, June 17th, 2016. Applications should be submitted online and transcripts and supporting documents should be sent by e-mail (preferred) or by fax (to 212-280-8797).
Are travel grants available?
Program participation is limited as is our ability to admit every student who applies, but travel grants are made available for students outside of the New York City metro area who demonstrate significant financial need and meet Barnard Bound admission criteria (this includes the potential to succeed at Barnard). Advisers and students will be asked for basic financial information at the time of application to determine qualifications. Travel grant recipients will be notified at the time of program admission.
Expenses for program-related events, subway passes, and meals will be covered by Barnard College for all attendees.
When will students find out if they are Barnard Bound?

"Bachelorette" Ali Fedotowsky made her choice — Chris Lambton was let go early and it appears as though Ali and Roberto Martinez are still engaged and happy. They say they've even bought a place together in San Diego.
How did some past "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants react?
Trista Sutter: "When it's not there, it's not there. You can't force love and I commend Ali for knowing what she needs & wants." … "I
cannot help but smile at the ending of Bachelorette. Great story.
Happy ending. Hope they follow in our marital happy footsteps!" … "Kinda
hard to not think that Frank is a little cowardly to not show up to the
ATFR. Could've stood by his decision & faced her like a man." and" … "I
thought I wanted someone 2 b the next Bachelor who was plucked out of
middle America, but I'm thinking the torch should be passed 2 Chris!"
Molly Mesnick: "Roberto:
"water pouring,feeling like we are the only people in the world, just
the most beautiful moment"…like a scene from our wedding!!" and "I want to hug chris so bad!!!!!! My heart hurts…I know how this feels, and I hurt for him!!!!"
Jesse Csincsak: Congrats to Ali & Roberto I wish you nothing but luck… Chris L – Smile bro THE WORLD LOVES YOU !!!"
Melissa Rycroft: "Congrats and good luck to Ms. Ali :-)."
DeAnna Pappas: "So glad Ali found love. I absolutely love a happy ending! I'm a helpless romantic!"
Jason Mesnick: "I missed the final episode, was it good?"
"The Bachelorette" may be over, but "Bachelor Pad" starts Monday, Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

Bargain of the week: Gatwick for less
A one-way trip on the Gatwick Express from London Victoria costs £16.90; book online at gatwickexpress.com, and the fare falls to £15.20. But for a real bargain, go to southernrailway. com. Southern runs on the same line, with journeys taking slightly longer. And in return for booking ahead, you can travel for just £3.75 if you are flexible about the exact train.
If you book today, accompanying children travel for just 5p each – so a family of four can get a one-way trip for £7.60, exactly half the price of a single ticket on the Gatwick Express. No railcard is required but if you do have one, you could save even more.
Destination of the week: Tokyo's Haneda airport
For the past 32 years, international travellers to the Japanese capital have faced the long journey into the city from Narita airport, 40 miles away.
But from tomorrow, Haneda – the much closer, original "Tokyo international airport" – is reinstating links from overseas. Reaching the centre will be much quicker and cheaper, whether on the Tokyo Monorail or the Keikyu Railway. Haneda has no night curfew and offers a far better range of domestic connections than Narita.
First into Haneda from Europe is Air France from Paris, with connections from across the UK. British Airways is adding new services out of Heathrow from 19 February next year.
The flight departs Heathrow at 8.05am – very early for a long-haul flight – and arrives in Japan at 4.55am. And you will need to get up early for the return hop, which leaves at 6.25am. However, the 10am arrival offers time for plenty more connections at Heathrow. Fares for the first few weeks are attractive, at £717 return.
Warning of the week: Australian visa scam
With the Australian dollar now more valuable than the US version, the incentive for working there is stronger than ever. Working-holiday visas are extendable to a second year if you can prove that you have worked in a rural area, for example picking fruit, for three months during the first year of your working holiday. But the Foreign Office this week issued a warning about "scam adverts offering to sell information claiming to help you extend a working holiday visa". Some British travellers have falsely claimed to have worked on farms using information or documents from scam advertisers. "As a result they have had their visas cancelled and been excluded from Australia for three years," says the Foreign Office.
Tip of the week: St John in London
You need not go to Malta (see 48 Hours in Valletta, pages 12-13) for an insight into the world's oldest charitable institution. The remarkable Museum of the Order of St John opens this week in Clerkenwell, London. It tells the story of the Knights, from the Crusades to St John Ambulance. It is open 10am – 5pm, except on Sundays. Free admission. museumstjohn.org.uk

OEDC returns from fiber optics model site visit
Thu, 29 Aug 2013 17:34:54 GMT —
The Ottumwa Economic Development Corporation (OEDC) has been pounding away at developing a fiber optics model that will suit needs for the city of Ottumwa.
Part of this is by traveling to areas that are similar to Ottumwa which already have a fiber optics model in place.
ODEC officials traveled to Steuben County in northeast Indiana to learn more about their model that has been in place for 12 years.
Information technology expert Craig Settles from California made the trip as well. He has been surveying Ottumwaâ??s need for such a fiber optics model.
David Barajas of ODEC said itâ??s important to be objective about these types of visits and to gather as much quality information as possible so the best decision for Ottumwa and Wapello Countyâ??s future can be made.
â??We're hoping that -- to potentially have a pilot project or some different pilot projects that we're looking at. Potentially have the pilot project ready to move forward with, maybe in the spring of 2014,â?? said Barajas.
Barajas said having fiber optics broadband will provide better opportunities to retain and attract good quality businesses to Ottumwa.

This Week at The Broad: 'The Handmaiden' & Halloween Weekend
Trick or treat? The question that drives our love affair with Halloween season. We love watching scary movies while suffering from a self-induced sugar high brought on by smuggling candy from your younger brother's haul. This weekend, The Broad Theater has an answer. We intend to treat you. We plan to treat you with a film by a master of the arts as well as some special screenings that you won't see anywhere else in the city.
Got plans for this Halloween weekend? Change them! We've got two horror films playing late night from October 28th-30th. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3: DREAM WARRIORS is without a doubt the finest film in the franchise (Don't believe us? Stop on by and ask for Michael) and has early acting roles for Patricia Arquette and Laurence Fishburne. We also are doing a sneak preview of THE EYES OF MY MOTHER, a horror film actually set to release in December but already gaining great press. Continue reading »

The Emory Alcohol and Lung Biology Center formally began on January 1, 2003, and has since continued to expand its dynamic research and training environment to study the mechanisms by which alcohol abuse impacts lung health. Center investigators began with the novel observation that alcohol abuse increases the risk of developing acute lung injury and respiratory failure following sepsis, trauma, and other severe inflammatory illnesses. In fact, based on two large epidemiologic studies published by Center investigators, one can estimate that alcohol abuse is a causative factor in as many as 50-75,000 cases of acute lung injury in the U.S. each year. Further, with a mortality of -50% even with state-of-the-art care, alcohol-mediated susceptibility to acute lung injury claims tens of thousands of lives annually. Center investigators were the first to identify in both experimental models and in human subjects that chronic alcohol ingestion, even in the absence of any clinically detectable pulmonary impairment, causes severe oxidant stress in the airway that renders the lung susceptible to injury. In this competitive renewal the Center investigators hypothesize that alcohol-induced oxidant stress promotes a shift in the signaling balance between granulocyte//macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and transforming growth factor p-, (TGFp-,) to one that favors the proinjurious influences of TGFfa over the normal priming stimulation by GM-CSF. The investigators further hypothesize that this imbalance, in parallel with the chronic oxidant stress, changes the phenotype of the lung such that it is more susceptible to acute lung injury as well as to other lung diseases including asthma, pneumonia, and airway fibrosis. In addition, alcohol-induced oxidant stress during gestation may render neonates vulnerable to critical illnesses, particularly in the setting of premature delivery when the lungs are not fully developed. In this competitive renewal, the Center will extend its previous findings and examine the discrete molecular mechanisms by which alcohol abuse disrupts normal cellular function in the adult and neonatal lung, and identify novel therapeutic interventions that can decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with the alcoholic lung. The Center has more than doubled in size since it began four years ago, and through its collaborative interactions can advance the study of alcohol-related lung diseases and continue to train the next generation of alcohol researchers dedicated to improving lung health.

text: 000 FXUS63 KGRB 201657 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1057 AM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 Updated aviation portion for 18Z TAF issuance .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 409 AM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 Unseasonably warm through mid-week, with rain this afternoon and tonight. Then turning colder with some rain and snow as a potent storm system crosses the area late in the week. The split flow that has been dominating North America will gradually transform into a single dominant band of westerlies. That will begin to occur as the current southern stream strengthens and expands northward across the CONUS during the early part of the forecast period, and come to completion as much of the remaining northern stream energy merges south late in the period. Temperatures will remain well above normal (possibly breaking additional records) the next several days, then return closer to seasonal normals as the primary frontal boundary settles south of the region allowing polar air to dominate the area. The developing weather pattern will be active. A fairly substantial rain (for February) is anticipated late today and tonight. A powerful cyclone is likely to affect the area late in the week. Large-scale southwest upper flow is forecast to persist for some time after the passage of the initial cyclone. That will probably allow for at least a couple opportunities for additional precipitation as waves ride northeast along the baroclinic zone stretched out near the area. The pattern could also support one or two additional strong cyclones during the following week. Precipitation amounts for the next week are likely to end up well above normal. && .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Tuesday Issued at 409 AM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 The main short-term forecast issues are again temperatures and the timing of the precipitation. Clouds will probably hold temperatures back some today, but readings will still be well above normal. Southerly flow will keep readings from falling too much tonight, then clearing on Tuesday should allow for another day with readings well into the 50s and possibly reaching the low 60s in a few spots. Trended above guidance. The onset of the precipitation now looks to be a little slower than expected yesterday at this time. Adjusted the forecast accordingly. Opted to add a mention of thunder across about the southwest 2/3 of the area as the heaviest rains move though. Model elevated CAPE values and mid-level lapse rates are marginal at best. But dynamics are fairly strong and the LDS has already indicated lightning strikes over eastern Minnesota early this morning. .LONG TERM...Tuesday Night Through Sunday Issued at 409 AM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 Forecast concerns revolve around temperatures midweek, and potential for a large cyclone on Thursday night into Saturday. Model differences in regards to the track and timing of this cyclone remain relatively large. Will try to mitigate these differences by taking a blend of the gfs and ecmwf. Tuesday night through Wednesday night...While a front stalls out over Lake Superior, ample dry air will ensure a mostly clear to partly cloudy conditions, and a quiet Tuesday night. This changes on Wednesday when low pressure travels east along the front and across northern Wisconsin. This system has been trending stronger over the past few days, and will provide a chance of showers along and to the north of the surface low track, mainly for northern Wisconsin. To the south, warm air will surge northward ahead of the low, and will likely bring some record highs to central and east- central Wisconsin. Following the better performing ecmwf guidance, temps could reach into the low to mid 60s. A cold front associated with the low pressure will swing southeast across the area on Wednesday night. Think precip chances will remain across far northern WI along the front, but cold air will push south into central and east-central WI late. Rest of the forecast...That front will stall over the southern Great Lakes on Thursday, with colder air to the north dropping high temps back into the 40s. As a large cyclone intensifies across the plains, precipitation is expected to return northward from late Thursday afternoon into Thursday night. Thermal profiles remain difficult to nail down, due to track differences of the surface low in the models. Precipitation could start out as rain over central and east-central WI and a mix over northern WI, but then change to more snow/wintry mix as temperatures cool Thursday night. Moderate to heavy precipitation will then continue for much of Friday and Friday night. At this time, the most likely scenario is for heavy snow to occur north and west of the Fox Valley, and a wintry mix from the Fox Valley to the lakeshore, but this is subject to change pending the track of the low. Regardless, a significant winter storm remains possible for at least parts of the area. Expect differences in the track to continue for several more days due to the more complex nature of the split flow pattern across North America. Behind the system, will see colder and windy conditions move in as the snow ends on Saturday. Temperatures close to normal will then remain present into early of the next week. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1052 AM CST Mon Feb 20 2017 Main concern for this period will be showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms later this afternoon into tonight, increasing low level wind shear this afternoon and evening, then low clouds and fog late tonight into Tuesday morning. For this afternoon, bufkit soundings indicating wind shear around 2000 feet increasing to around 55 kts this afternoon into early Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, a band of showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms will move into central/north-central Wisconsin by mid to late afternoon, and then to the lakeshore by early to mid evening. The probability of thunder at each taf site is too low to include them in the 18z taf issuance. Once the showers and few storms exit the region later tonight into Tuesday morning, low clouds and fog are expected with conditions at IFR or lower. Any low clouds and fog should burn off by mid to late morning on Tuesday. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$ SYNOPSIS.......Skowronski SHORT TERM.....Skowronski LONG TERM......MPC AVIATION.......Eckberg

Theory of Public Finance in a Federal State by Dietmar Wellisch
Book DescriptionThe central question of this book is whether the assignment of government functions to the individual jurisdictions in a federal state can ensure an optimal allocation of resources and a fair income distribution. The analysis thereby gives a new answer to the old question about the optimal degree of fiscal decentralization in a federal state. It shows that fiscal decentralization is a method to disclose the preferences of currently living and future generations for local public goods, to limit the size of the government, and to avoid excessive public debt finance. While the allocative branch of the government benefits from fiscal decentralization, it is difficult to obtain a distribution of incomes that differs from the outcome that the market brings along.

Interesting reviews.
Seems like Mr Walker was looking for something else in the book, Mr Glynn wasn't looking for anything in particular.
The way that the book was written, was only to be a "slap in the face"...

This review is from: HIS Radeon HD 5970 (Hemlock) DirectX 11 H597F2GDG 2GB 512 (256 x 2)-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Dual GPU Onboard CrossFire Video Card w/ Eyefinity
Pros: This card is incredible. It destroys Crysis with every setting maxed at 1980x1200. It runs Crysis at playable FPS on high / medium settings at 5760x1200...Yup...crysis playable across 3 screens. Eyefinity makes triple monitor spanning a breeze and is something that needs to be seen to be appreciated.
This card decimates everything I have thrown at it at resolutions up to 5760x1200.
This joker is as future proof as you can get.
Power consumption is incredible.
You get what you pay for.
If you are in the market
Cons: Grey screen problems and banding issues have been reported on these cards, although I have not seen this for myself. There was a hotfix released a couple days ago that addresses this.
Price is pretty steep...But again...You get what you pay for with this card.
Card is really long. You should have a full tower.
Good luck finding one.
Other Thoughts: This is the best video card purchase I have made yet. I didn't expect much of an increase over the 280's in sli it replaced...boy was I wrong. This card is awesome.READ FULL REVIEW

As you might expect, a conference for the adult film business is a lot more laid back than your typical industry trade gathering.
At the Xbiz Summit, currently taking place in Miami, Fla., members of the porn industry are enjoying their fair share of relaxation. There's a casino night happy hour, nine total hours of "poolside networking," and a two hour block of time planned for Friday night simply called "Havana Nights."
But like any other trade show, there is actual business to be taken care of during the day. And today, in between the "Gay Biz" panel and an afternoon pizza party, porn stars, producers and distributors will discuss one of the biggest changes to potentially hit the adult film business since the Internet: Bitcoin.
"Things have changed," said Avi Bitton, chief technology officer for Wicked Pictures, who will be on the Bitcoin panel at the Xbiz Summit. "Everyone has to continue to evolve and work harder to make sales. Bitcoin is a new market and its properties make it an ideal payment system for adult consumers."
Its most important property is anonymity, Bitton told The Daily Dot. Bitcoin, which was created four years ago as the world's first digital currency, is designed to be spent like cash online. Bitcoins aren't regulated by any government and, although they're stored on hard drives in digital wallets, are not connected to a user's bank account or identity. So in that way, Bitcoin is ideal for those who don't want their "adult purchases" tracked online.
This is no surprise to Bitcoin supporters. Though Bitcoin has gained more legitimacy in recent months, with sites like Wordpress and Reddit giving it their endorsement, much of the currency's early success was founded in the internet's grey- and black-markets. So Bitton and others say it's only natural that the currency would begin to spill over into mainstream porn and find new support there.
"Generally speaking, porn is an early adopter of anything related to new technology," Coinbase Founder Fred Ehrsam told The Huffington Post recently. "If you look back, they were the first to adopt many of the new video formats."
It's not just Bitcoin that would reap a benefit from an expanded relationship with mainstream porn. Bitton projects that the currency's anonymity will encourage at least a certain segment of the porn consuming public to actually pay for pornography rather than go to free aggregator sites.
"Free has always existed," he said. "(But) there has been a lot of consolidation over the past five years."
Just how much this will increase porn industry revenues is unknown. Quantifying the consumption of porn online has been notoriously difficult. Forbes Magazine estimated in 2010 that 4 percent of the world's million most popular sites were for pornography and that about 13 percent of all web searches were for erotic content. It's hard to tell, though, just how much revenue would be generated by an industry-wide adoption of Bitcoin.
Bitton said a number of sites have already found success with Bitcoin, but that the industry remains largely aloof to the growing phenomenon.
"It's still got a geek factor," he said. "I believe more will adopt quickly as people become more familiar with what it is."

Advertisement For a man who runs two companies and has been a chief executive for 15 years, Sergio Marchionne likes to see himself as an underdog, a pose he took again with Chrysler dealers on Tuesday. "I am simply a man of industry," said Marchionne, who keeps a Swiss chalet and carries six Blackberries to respond to the 40-odd executives who report directly to him.Marchionne says despite the naysaying, Chrysler will overcome its numerous past sins, including its long-standing reputation for poor quality: Advertisement I raise this issue because it has been a perennial complaint about Chrysler products. You and our customers have been telling us this for a long time. And we have historically ignored the problem. Those days are gone.The 9-speed automatic will follow an 8-speed gearbox for rear-wheel-drive cars due in 2011, a combo that Marchionne told dealers would only be matched by "some snotty premium manufacturer out of Europe," which we otherwise know as Mercedes.Marchionne also detailed just how the next Dodge Viper won approval, saying he and Dodge chief Ralph Gilles had gone over the idea for months, before the company's leaders saw the mocked-up version and approved it as a 2012 model without question. There are times when you are given the opportunity to give life to something which is so beautiful and unique, so just and equitable, that you pay a lot less attention to the numbers, to the financial reality that surrounds it.H/T to JJJ7088!

This research program is motivated by two interrelated goals. First, we seek to understand the neural mechanisms by which the brain recovers after loss of vestibular (inner ear balance) sensation on one or both sides. Second, we seek to advance development new treatment approaches to maximize quality of life for individuals disabled by disequilibrium and unsteady vision after loss of vestibular sensation. In the United States alone, about 150,000 people suffer disabling vertigo and unsteadiness each year due to acute unilateral loss of vestibular function, while about 250,000 suffer chronic imbalance and unsteady vision typical of severe bilateral loss that fails to resolve despite existing treatments. Sudden, permanent loss of vestibular nerve input from one labyrinth causes disequilibrium and visual blurring due to disruption of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), which normally maintains stable vision during head movements. This disruption is usually followed by impressive but incomplete recovery. During the previous funding period, we made excellent progress toward defining the dynamics of VOR compensation and the neural mechanisms upon which it depends. In the proposed research program, we will build upon this solid foundation of progress through three interrelated and synergistic aims. Experiments addressing Aim 1 will characterize the role of floccular target neurons [FTN] during VOR compensation after acute unilateral injury, examining dynamic changes in their sensitivity to vestibular, proprioceptive and efference copy signals. We predict that compensation involves a coordinated sequence of adaptive changes in two largely parallel paths (i.e., FTN and position-vestibular-pause [PVP] neurons), because our recent results show that changes in PVP neurons alone are insufficient to explain VOR recovery.
Aim 2 is to characterize and optimize the pattern of vestibular nerve activity engendered by a multichannel vestibular prosthesis (MVP) we recently created to restore balance sensation to individuals disabled by loss of inner ear function. These experiments are essential for optimizing MVP performance prior to the start of a clinical trial. Finally, studies in Aim 3 will merge the approaches used in Aims 1 &2, using the MVP to realize a previously impossible experimental paradigm that will characterize and correlate central vestibular neuron responses and VOR responses during both loss and restoration of sensory input from the vestibular labyrinth. Combined, these studies will (1) enhance our understanding of how the central nervous system adapts after initially disabling injuries;(2) advance development of a potentially revolutionary tool for replacement of labyrinthine sensation;and (3) clarify how neuronal mechanisms thought to underlie learning at a cellular level can be leveraged to optimize recovery of complex behaviors like the VOR in alert animals and, ultimately, in individuals disabled by loss of vestibular sensation.
After complete loss of vestibular (inner ear balance) sensation on one or both sides, most patients ultimately recover enough to do well, but some fail to compensate and remain disabled by chronic imbalance and inability to see clearly while moving. This research project will define neural mechanisms that underlie how the brain compensates after vestibular injury and advance development of an implantable bionic inner ear device that can replace lost vestibular sensation.

|configuring Apache to use mod_so
|Thu, 12 Jul 2001 18:19:16 GMT
I am still struggling to get Tomcat and Apache to play nicely together. I have followed the included documentation for installing the mod_jk module, but when I fire the apxs script I get an error that the mod_so is not configured into my Apache. I reconfigured Apache using the --enable_module=most \ --enable_shared=max And reinstalled Apache and it wouln't start. (too many errors in the httpd.conf) After a few harrowing minutes, I finally got Apache back up and running but without the mod_so module. I am runing on: Solaris 2.6 Apache 1.3.6 Mod_Perl 1.2.5 JDK 1.3 Jakarta 3.2.2 Can anyone offer any sdvice for getting Apache configured to use mod_so without killing it?

- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/)
- - Is a glass top needed if you have a canopy? (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/glass-top-needed-if-you-have-22550/)
Is a glass top needed if you have a canopy?
I am going to get a 50 gallon tank and build a stand and a canopy for it. Is it necessary to have a glass top on it besides, or is the hood fine? I will probably mount a light fixture to the underside of it.
You will definetly want something between the lights an the water. Lights get hot and the air above the tanks get humid. Condensation is going to build up on the lights. Its going to cause a hazard and greatly reduce the life of the light fixture.
A glass top would be idea. Is the tank 50gal or 55gal? You can usually buy premade lids, but if I remember correctly they are pricey at stores. I've bought mine online, or I buy used ones.
It's a 50, and I can buy it with out without the lid. I was just checking to see if it was necessary. Thanks.

When night falls,
Everything and everyone goes silent,
It's time for bed,
People don't like the night at all.
Not me actually,
In fact I love the night,
I'm alone,
But I'm home.
The moon is my friend,
No one else is,
The moon makes me smile,
My own way.
The the sun rises,
And I am tired,
I go to bed,
And wait until night again.

Hey Denise!
It's nice to hear from you. I'm fine, but I've been sick two weeks ago and it was not fun at all.
I also have a lot in school now but I'm so gone I can.
I have seen some new anime which I think is good, for example Uragiri wa Boku no Namae o Shitteiru but I am a little irritated about the end but its a very good anime and look on anime InuYasha. InuYasha is one of the best that I have seen I think.
yea y?
Well i'm watching anime (like always xD) and then i'm gonna listen to some j-metal ^_^ Have fun with doing your homework :)
i also love Fairy tail like .....btw whats up now a dayz ? :)
Oh I was looking at users page and I saw darkmagiciangirl so I was like yugioh loL.
